00:00I was gathering the skirt of my bridal gown, about to step into the wedding car, when Derek grabbed my
00:05arm.
00:08Hold on. You're taking the taxi.
00:12What?
00:13Vanessa gets carsick. She has to ride up front. Just deal with it. It's not a long drive.
00:17Derek! This is our wedding day. I'm supposed to taxi while your secretary stay with you.
00:23You think that's okay? I've never once heard of carsick meaning you get the bridal car.
00:28Vanessa could barely keep the smirk off her face.
00:31Sorry about this, Sophie. Marcus wanted to make sure I was comfortable.
00:36I didn't ask for this. I was about to explode.
00:40But with half our families watching, I kept my voice flat and even.
00:45If you pull up with Vanessa in that seat, people are going to think you married her. Not me.
00:52Why does it matter what people think? Everyone here knows who I'm marrying.
00:56I went straight to his mother.
00:58Mom, Derek is insisting Vanessa ride with him and wants me to out.
01:02Sophie, Marcus works so hard. He always needs Vanessa close by.
01:07If something work-related comes up on the drive, it's easier for them to handle it together.
01:11Learn to give a little.
01:13This whole family was on her side.
01:14Derek had already opened the passenger door of the wedding car for Vanessa.
01:18She got in.
01:19The guests around us were murmuring.
01:21The women from my office, who had never liked me, weren't even pretending anymore.
01:25Phones were out.
01:26They were filming the wedding car, then panning over to me, then back.
01:29The gold diggers were not caught up fast.
01:31He married her, but he won't even let her ride in the bridal car.
01:33Vanessa is who Marcus actually loves.
01:35I couldn't take it anymore.
01:36Shut up!
01:37They lowered their phones, unhappy about it.
01:40Sophie, you're still nothing compared to Vanessa in his eyes.
01:43Honestly, if I were you, I wouldn't go through with this.
01:49If you have any self-respect left, go home.
01:53I'm not going anywhere.
01:54This wedding is happening.
01:57I wasn't about to walk away and hand this to Vanessa on a plate.
02:01Everyone assumed I was the one who pressured Derek into marrying me.
02:05The truth was the exact opposite.
02:07To get me to say yes, Derek had rented out an entire cruise ship.
02:12He set off 999 fireworks over the harbor waterfront.
02:17He proposed to me 18 times before I agreed.
02:21All of that was a punchline now.
02:24I walked over and pulled open the passenger door of the nearest car and got in.
02:28He won't even let you ride in the bridal car on your own wedding day.
02:33You sure you still want to go through with this?
02:35I turned.
02:36It was Noah, my childhood best friend, the guy I'd grown up with.
02:41You came to watch me fall apart?
02:43When I'd first told him I was marrying Derek, Noah had pushed back hard.
02:48We fought about it more than once.
02:50We almost didn't make it through.
02:52I'm not that petty.
02:54A short silence.
02:55If you want out right now, I'll take you.
02:57Wherever you want to go.
02:59To the venue.
03:00You still want to marry him after this?
03:02Drive.
03:03Noah hit the steering wheel once, hard.
03:05Then he started the car.
03:08We were about halfway there when a sedan came out of nowhere and drove straight at us.
03:12And we only got clipped along the side.
03:14A girl in a very short skirt climbed out of the other car and came straight to our window.
03:18You hit my car.
03:19Nobody is leaving until you pay for the damage.
03:21Stay here.
03:22I'll handle it.
03:23That was when Derek called.
03:25Where are you?
03:26We've been here forever.
03:28What's taking so long?
03:32I was in an accident.
03:33A girl's voice nearby.
03:35A car accident on a wedding day.
03:36Is that a sign?
03:37Maybe someone up there doesn't want this wedding to happen.
03:39Don't say things like that.
03:41Sophie, just grab a cab and get here.
03:43Don't hold up the ceremony.
03:44Something went tight in my chest.
03:46I was in an accident.
03:48Your first question isn't whether I'm hurt.
03:50It's whether I'm going to be late.
03:52My wife is tough.
03:54She's fine.
03:54Grab a cab.
03:55Everyone's waiting.
03:59I just stepped out of the car when a hand locked around my wrist.
04:02You're not going anywhere.
04:03Nobody in this car is leaving.
04:05The girl who grabbed me, I didn't know her name, but I'd seen her once at the office.
04:09She was Vanessa's best friend.
04:11This is my car.
04:13You have a problem?
04:14You deal with me.
04:16There are cameras on this car.
04:18The footage footage show you drove into us.
04:20I don't care.
04:21Nobody leaves.
04:22Vanessa sent you, didn't she?
04:23The girl went very still.
04:24She hadn't expected that.
04:26I don't know any Vanessa.
04:28Video call from Vanessa.
04:30I picked up.
04:31She was standing in front of a mirror in my custom couture wedding gown.
04:35My bridal makeup artist working on her hair behind her.
04:39What do you think, Sophie?
04:40Does it suit me?
04:42This is the wedding dress I chose.
04:46Don't read into this.
04:48Marcus just thought you might not make it in time, and he didn't want to delay things.
04:52He asked me to fill in.
04:55You don't have to rush anymore.
04:57Honestly.
04:59I'll stream the whole ceremony for you live.
05:02No!
05:03Stop!
05:04No!
05:04Leave my wedding!
05:05Actually, I won't bother with the reception.
05:08It drains the battery.
05:09Talk soon.
05:10She ended the call.
05:12I sat back in the car and watched the wedding I had planned play out on my phone screen.
05:18Every flower arrangement had been my choice.
05:21I had gone back and forth on each one.
05:23The venue setup, the lighting, every detail.
05:27Someone else was standing in the middle of it.
05:29But the MC's voice came through the stream, rising.
05:34You may now kiss your bride.
05:37Derek didn't hesitate.
05:38He leaned in.
05:40The camera zoomed in on them.
05:42When they finally pulled apart, it lingered.
05:46I opened the car door and threw up on the pavement.
05:50Noah was immediately beside me, hand on my back.
05:53What happened?
05:54I'm taking you to a hospital.
05:55I waved him off.
05:57I took the water he handed me and rinsed my mouth.
06:00The bridal gown felt unbearable.
06:02I noticed a bag on the back seat.
06:04I looked inside.
06:05It was Noah's dress shirts and trousers, just back from the dry cleaner.
06:09I took off my headpiece.
06:11I changed into his clothes right there.
06:13They were too big, but I rolled the sleeves and the hems.
06:16Used a hair tie to cinch the waist.
06:18It would do.
06:19My phone lit up again.
06:20Sophie.
06:21Gorgeous ceremony, wasn't it?
06:23We're about to start the table round.
06:25I won't stream this part.
06:26Battery's low.
06:27Bye.
06:29You're wearing my.
06:31You don't mind, do you?
06:32He stared.
06:33No.
06:34No, I don't mind.
06:35So you're not going to the ceremony?
06:37Marcus and Vanessa already walked through the whole thing together.
06:39Noah, you always said you didn't want me marrying someone else.
06:43City Hall, are we going or not?
06:45Noah went completely still.
06:47You mean, you and me?
06:49Getting a marriage license?
06:51I nodded.
06:52If you don't want to, forget I said it.
06:54Noah's face broke into the biggest smile I had ever seen.
06:57Are you kidding me?
07:03Let's go.
07:04Right now.
07:05I've been waiting for this my whole life.
07:10And just like that, we got married.
07:13Okay, now take me to the reception venue.
07:15The dinner's probably still going.
07:16You want to go back there?
07:17I want to give the happy couple a wedding envelope.
07:20Say no more.
07:23At the venue, I grabbed an envelope from the table and tucked a few crumpled dollars inside.
07:29Just five dollars.
07:31Noah and I found a quiet corner and sat down.
07:34It took a while, but eventually Derek and Vanessa made their way to our table for the toast rounds.
07:43Sophie, when did you get here?
07:45Whose clothes are those?
07:47The bride already got replaced.
07:48Wearing the dress seemed like a bad joke.
07:50Don't misread this.
07:51You couldn't make it, so I had Vanessa stand in.
07:53I didn't want to keep everyone waiting.
07:55You know how it is.
07:56Of course I understand.
08:03What are you wearing?
08:05Is that a man's shirt?
08:07Sophia, I hope you're not pulling this stunt because Marcus didn't let you ride in the bridal car!
08:12Making him look bad in front of all these people is so childish.
08:15If Vanessa hadn't stepped up, the whole family would have been humiliated.
08:20You can't keep acting like this and tell her I was in an accident.
08:23The woman who drove into us was Vanessa's best friend.
08:25She's currently in police custody.
08:28Criminal liability, probably.
08:30She wouldn't do something like that.
08:32She's not capable of it.
08:34Thank you for believing in me, Marcus.
08:36I can't even defend myself here.
08:40I'm just pointing out that Vanessa did you a favor today.
08:43You should be thanking her, not attacking her.
08:45Apologize, right now.
08:47And if you don't, don't bother coming home tonight.
08:49I will seriously consider this whole relationship.
08:51Lucky for you, someone else is already planning our wedding.
08:54Right, husband?
08:56What did you just call him?
08:58My husband.
08:59Legal and official.
09:00Thank you, Derek, for not marrying me when you had the chance.
09:03I'm Mrs. Caldwell now.
09:07Sophie, what are you talking about?
09:09I'm your husband.
09:11We had a whole wedding today.
09:13You're confused.
09:14All I did was play a few door games at the pickup this morning.
09:16All I did was play a few door games at the pickup this morning.
09:19Vanessa's the one who walked through the whole thing with you.
09:23I've said it a hundred times.
09:25She was filling in for you.
09:28You are my bride.
09:31I don't need someone to fill in for me at my own wedding.
09:34Then what exactly are you saying?
09:36Isn't it obvious?
09:37We're done.
09:39I'm grateful to you, Derek.
09:40If you hadn't kept insisting we wait until after the ceremony to file the paperwork,
09:44I never would have had the chance to choose someone else.
09:46I wish you and Vanessa all the happiness in the world.
09:50This is our gift to you both.
09:52There's barely anything in here.
09:54That's about what you're worth.
10:02Marcus, I did everything for her.
10:04And she's calling me trash to my face?
10:06Sophie, there are guests everywhere.
10:08And your own family is sitting right here.
10:11This is not the time for a tantrum.
10:13My parents are gone.
10:15As for friends, you were the one who pushed me to invite them.
10:19Said a wedding needed a crowd.
10:21If they saw a little drama, fine.
10:23I'm never going to see any of them again anyway.
10:25Sophie!
10:27This didn't have to turn into this.
10:29I'm giving you one last chance.
10:32Apologize to Vanessa.
10:35I'll act like none of this happened.
10:36Otherwise, don't come back to the apartment tonight.
10:38Because I need to seriously think about where we stand.
10:42Even if you invited me back, I wouldn't go.
10:44Although I do need to stop by and pick up my things.
10:47Everything I bought stays with me.
10:49You don't have a problem with that, do you?
10:51Okay.
10:52I'm done here.
10:59Sophie!
11:00You want to embarrass me in front of everyone?
11:02Is that it?
11:07Marcus!
11:08Marcus!
11:09Leave Sophie alone!
11:10The more attention you give her, the worse she acts.
11:14Come back inside and finish the reception.
11:16There are still tables to get to.
11:34He went back for her.
11:37Noah drove me to the apartment Derek and I had shared.
11:41I didn't say much.
11:43I just started packing.
11:45Everything I had bought, I took.
11:48What I couldn't carry, I broke.
11:50The idea of Derek and Vanessa living here among my things made me feel sick.
11:54I would rather destroy it.
11:55When I was done, I stood in the doorway and looked at the place one last time.
12:00I had imagined a life here.
12:03Children.
12:04Growing old together.
12:06All of it had dissolved into nothing.
12:09Before I left, I transferred back every dollar of the settlement Derek had given me.
12:15Then I blocked him everywhere.
12:20Stop looking back.
12:21This place has bad energy.
12:22We'll find somewhere better.
12:23Actually, there's a new development opening tomorrow on the lakefront.
12:26We could go look.
12:29Okay.
12:38Tonight, can I stay at yours?
12:42We're legally married.
12:44We're supposed to be living together.
12:45I know you're only asking because you need somewhere to get away from Derek, but I'm still
12:49very happy about it.
12:50I couldn't quite look at him.
12:52We had known each other for over 20 years.
12:54Had been in and out of each other's lives for basically all of them.
13:02Why don't you shower first?
13:04I'll go after.
13:05Okay.
13:07I hid in the bathroom for a long time, giving myself a quiet talk.
13:11We had already filed the paperwork.
13:13We were husband and wife.
13:14There was nothing strange about this.
13:16I came out.
13:17I went to the bedroom.
13:19I waited.
13:23We let the night take its course, the way it naturally does between two people who are
13:30now, legally and officially, married.
13:41I had underestimated him.
13:44Not just the face, which had always been unfairly good.
13:50The rest of him, too.
13:52And in that particular area, he was in a completely different category from Derek.
13:59I was very satisfied.
14:04The next morning after breakfast, Noah drove me out to the lakefront development.
14:09We walked through one of the newly finished estates and loved it immediately.
14:16We were about to sign when someone called out.
14:20Sophie, I finally found you.
14:22Last night, I went back to the apartment and all your things were gone.
14:26You sent back every cent I gave you.
14:30I tried calling, but you'd blocked me everywhere.
14:33I went to your place.
14:34You weren't there.
14:36Someone told me they saw you out here this morning and I came straight over.
14:40Sophie, I thought about everything last night.
14:45The ceremony got away from me.
14:46I'll admit that.
14:48You had every right to be upset.
14:50You can be as angry as you want.
14:55Just don't stop talking to me.
14:57We're supposed to be husband and wife.
14:59You don't hold a grudge overnight.
15:01Come home.
15:02Let me make this right.
15:05I'll give you a proper wedding.
15:07The one you deserved.
15:09This time, I'll do everything right.
15:13Derek, you do understand I am not solling, right?
15:17Don't say things you don't mean, Sophie.
15:19Eight years.
15:20You can't just walk away from eight years.
15:23So that's what you think.
15:25Eight years in and you figured no matter what you did to me, I'd never actually leave.
15:30I wasn't doing anything to you.
15:34Vanessa just stood in for the ceremony.
15:37Nothing happened between us.
15:39Nothing happened.
15:41I pulled out my phone and found the live stream clip.
15:46You kissed her in front of everyone.
15:49On camera, with a close-up.
15:53You want to explain that?
15:56That was...
15:58The moment carried me.
15:59The atmosphere.
16:01Everyone watching.
16:02It just...
16:02It just...
16:03I'm telling you the truth.
16:06Yesterday was a mistake.
16:08I don't have feelings for Vanessa.
16:09I'm done listening.
16:11My husband and I are buying a home.
16:14Please don't interrupt us.
16:15Husband.
16:17You mean Noah?
16:18You two have been friends your whole lives.
16:21Nothing ever happened in 20 plus years.
16:23And now after one day, he's suddenly your husband?
16:31That's right.
16:34You're not serious.
16:36Honey, did you bring the certificate?
16:39Open your eyes.
16:41Am I her legal husband or am I not?
16:44You actually filed.
16:46You genuinely filed with him?
16:51I told you yesterday.
16:53We're legal.
16:56Sophie!
16:57How could you be this reckless?
16:58A marriage license is not something you just sign on a whim.
17:01Tim, how could you do this without thinking about how I'd feel?
17:05Why would I think about your feelings?
17:07Do I need your permission to get married?
17:10Did you think about my feelings when you were kissing Vanessa on that stage?
17:16Sophie, this is done.
17:18It's a fact.
17:18I'm not going to fight about it.
17:20But you need to go file for divorce.
17:22Immediately.
17:23We can wipe the slate clean.
17:25We start over.
17:26We get our license first.
17:28Then we plan a real wedding.
17:30Are you actually slow?
17:32Can you not understand plain English?
17:34My wife is done with you.
17:37She is my legal wife.
17:40If you come near her again,
17:42I will not be responsible for what happens next.
17:45Get out of my face!
17:47Who do you think you are?
17:50Sophie doesn't love you.
17:52She never did.
17:54She did this to get back at me.
17:56You actually think she has feelings for you?
17:59Whether she loved you before is not my concern.
18:03Right now, her heart belongs to me.
18:07Only me.
18:09You think you can take my woman from me?
18:11You better be ready for what comes with that.
18:26I'll destroy you.
18:27I'll have my lawyers on you by tonight.
18:30You'll be finished in this city.
18:33Marcus, what happened to you?
18:35Who did this?
18:35I want him sued.
18:37I want him ruined.
18:40Are you okay?
18:42I'm fine.
18:45A marriage license is not something you just sign on a whim.
18:51I told you not to come after Sophie.
18:54She's still angry.
18:56Nothing you say is going to land right now.
18:58Come back with me.
19:00Give her a few months to cool down and she'll probably come looking for you herself.
19:03By the time a few months pass, Sophie's going to be pregnant!
19:14Sophie, you're really doing this with him?
19:16He works for a salary.
19:18What can he actually give you?
19:20You're standing here looking at these estates right now.
19:26You think he can afford this?
19:29Even if he somehow scrapes it together, you'll be paying off a mortgage for the rest of your lives.
19:38I'll buy you this place.
19:40The whole development.
19:43Just say the word.
19:46Bold offer, Derek.
19:48The full lakefront development.
19:52That's north of a hundred million dollars.
19:55Can you actually write that check?
19:57I don't have a hundred million, but I've got a hundred times more than that.
20:01If you can afford one bathroom in this building, I'll change my last name to yours.
20:07Then I guess you'd better start going by Noah Caldwell.
20:10Don't make me laugh.
20:12Do you know who developed this property?
20:14The Caldwell Group, obviously.
20:16What, are you about to tell me you're the Caldwell heir?
20:19Because if that's true, I'll get on my knees right now.
20:26Remember you said that.
20:27Noah called over the estate manager.
20:29This gentleman is interested in buying the full development.
20:32Please walk him through the payment process.
20:35Right this way, sir.
20:37Hold on.
20:39Just because you tell him to take me somewhere doesn't mean I go.
20:42How do I know this isn't some sales trick?
20:45I'm not buying anything.
20:47I'm not that easy to con.
20:49Fine.
20:50No pressure.
20:51Our properties sell themselves.
20:54But if you can't afford it, just say so.
20:57Walking it back with excuses in front of everyone is a lot worse.
21:01I can buy it or not buy it.
21:02That's entirely up to me.
21:03Stop trying to change the subject.
21:05You're the one who needs to prove you're the Caldwell heir.
21:08Don't try to flip this around.
21:10Fair enough.
21:11Noah took out his phone and made a call.
21:13Grandpa, are you free?
21:15There's someone here from Zenith Tech who wants to say hello.
21:18He turned the screen toward Derek.
21:20Derek went rigid.
21:21Sir, Mr. Caldwell, I'm Derek Walsh.
21:25I run Zenith Tech.
21:26Yes.
21:27Noah's mentioned you.
21:29You were Sophie's fiancée, weren't you?
21:31Not anymore, Grandpa.
21:33Actually, I have good news.
21:35Sophie and I filed yesterday.
21:37She's your granddaughter-in-law now.
21:39Finally, I've wanted Sophie in this family for years.
21:42I kept waiting for you to do something and you never moved.
21:45You lost my mind.
21:46I was waiting for the right moment.
21:48Well, she's mine now.
21:50Wonderful.
21:51Bring her home for dinner tonight.
21:53Tell the cook to make everything she likes.
21:55Done.
21:57Noah hung up.
21:58Derek hadn't moved.
22:00You're actually the Caldwell heir?
22:02You want to know how Zenith Tech landed all those contracts with the Caldwell Group?
22:06Sophie.
22:08Every single one of those deals came through because of her.
22:11Without that connection, you wouldn't have even made the bid list.
22:13Now, I believe you promised to get on your knees.
22:17Derek was sweating.
22:18Kneeling meant humiliation.
22:20Not kneeling meant he'd broken his word in front of everyone.
22:23And Noah was no longer someone he could afford to cross.
22:25He had no move left.
22:27He dropped down and touched his forehead to the floor.
22:30I didn't even bother looking.
22:31Oh, come with me back to the office.
22:33I need to hand in my resignation and clean out my desk.
22:36You're quitting just to get away from me?
22:39I never liked that job.
22:40The only reason I stayed so long was because you said you wanted to see me every day.
22:44I have a finance degree.
22:45I spent eight years doing admin work for you.
22:48My husband is worth more money than I could spend in three lifetimes.
22:51I think I've earned the right to just go home and live well.
22:54Haven't I, honey?
22:55Everything I have is yours.
22:56Let's go.
23:00Noah drove me to the office.
23:01I wrote my resignation in about two minutes.
23:03I printed it and dropped it on Derek's desk.
23:06I quit.
23:07I'm not approving this.
23:09Approve it or don't.
23:10I'll walk either way.
23:12You can keep this month's paycheck.
23:14The women from my office who had filmed me at the wedding were craning their necks from across the floor.
23:18Can you send me the videos you took yesterday?
23:20I'd like to have them.
23:22They looked at each other.
23:22I just want the footage.
23:24I'm not here to make trouble.
23:26They hesitated, then sent the files through.
23:29I was almost out the door when I ran into Derek's mother and sister on the steps.
23:32Sophie, you've made your point.
23:34It's time to come home.
23:35His sister and I haven't slept properly in two days.
23:37That's because there's nobody cooking for you anymore.
23:40Don't worry.
23:40Vanessa can take over.
23:41She's part of the family now.
23:43That's completely different.
23:44She's just his secretary.
23:46You're the daughter-in-law I chose.
23:50You're the only one I recognize.
23:52You recognize me because my family left me money and I've been useful to Derek.
23:56You wanted to drain every resource I had.
23:59Sophie, we came to find you ourselves because we care about you.
24:03Don't be ungrateful.
24:05I'm not interested in that kind of family.
24:08Go find Vanessa.
24:10I pushed past his sister and walked out without looking back.
24:13That night, a friend forwarded me a link.
24:15Sophie, someone's spreading rumors about you online.
24:18You need to see this.
24:19I opened the video.
24:20It was posted from an anonymous account.
24:22The faces were blurred, but barely.
24:24Anyone who knew us would recognize me immediately.
24:26Bride caught with her childhood friend on the wedding day.
24:29Groom discovers bride wearing the friend's clothes.
24:30The groom calls off the wedding and marries his own secretary instead.
24:34The comments were a wall of filth.
24:35This bride has absolutely no shame.
24:37She was already rolling around with some other guy, and she was about to get married.
24:41She clearly has no self-control.
24:43Her parents must have raised a real piece of work.
24:45The groom and the secretary are perfect together.
24:47This woman never deserved to marry into money.
24:49Mixed in were comments praising Derek and Vanessa.
24:52Wishing them well.
24:53Calling them destined for each other.
24:55I read all of it and smiled.
24:57I had known Vanessa would use the image of me in Noah's clothes and spin it into something ugly.
25:02I had planned for exactly that.
25:06I uploaded the footage the office women had sent me.
25:09Then I posted my own statement.
25:11Hi, I'm the bride in that video.
25:14Here's what actually happened.
25:16On the morning of my own wedding, my fiancé told me I couldn't ride in the bridal car.
25:20He drove to the venue with her while I had to find my own way.
25:31While I was stuck at the scene, my fiancé used my absence as a reason to have Vanessa
25:35walk through the entire ceremony in my place, in my dress.
25:39I ended the engagement.
25:41I take full legal responsibility for everything I've just said.
25:44I will also be filing a defamation lawsuit against the person who posted the original video.
25:50I attached the full evidence.
26:02Car sick and you need the bridal car?
26:04What's next?
26:04Does she need the hearse at a funeral too?
26:06The groom and the secretary have clearly been involved for a long time.
26:08That kiss wasn't a mistake.
26:09His mother and sister just went along with it.
26:11That whole family is rotten.
26:12The fact that they went online and slandered her after everything they put her through.
26:15These people are vile.
26:16The internet found Derek and Vanessa's identities within hours.
26:18Their company address was public.
26:21Outraged people posted everywhere.
26:23Business partners saw the headlines and started pulling out of deals.
26:27Terminated its contracts with Zenith Tech and made clear they would not be working with Derek.
26:33Within days, Zenith Tech collapsed.
26:43The next time I saw Derek, he looked like a different person.
26:48Hollow eyes, too thin.
26:51His sister was behind him.
26:53No trace of the confidence she used to carry everywhere.
26:58Sophie, I owe you an apology.
27:00I looked into it.
27:01The woman who drove into your car was Vanessa's friend.
27:04I was manipulated.
27:06I've let her go.
27:08I came to say I'm sorry.
27:10Properly.
27:11And I'm asking you, given everything we meant to each other, to ask Noah to help me.
27:15Our mom collapsed when the company went under.
27:18She's in the hospital right now, on oxygen.
27:20She was always fond of you.
27:21Please, for her sake, talk to Noah.
27:24We almost became family.
27:26You can't watch us end up like this.
27:29Why can't I?
27:33You brought this on yourselves.
27:35If you hadn't posted that slander, none of this would have gone public.
27:39You fired the first shot.
27:42When it ends, is my decision.
27:45You want mom to die.
27:47Is that it?
27:49She's in a hospital bed right now.
27:51She can't take any more of this.
27:54She's not in that bed because of me.
27:56She's there because of choices you made.
27:58You knew what you were doing, Derek.
28:00You hurt me the way you did because you were sure I'd never fight back.
28:04You were wrong.
28:05I'm not the kind of woman who loses herself for a man.
28:08When you were loyal to me, I loved you.
28:11You stopped being loyal, so I stopped loving you.
28:13I only let Vanessa stand in for the ceremony.
28:16Only.
28:17I took out my phone and pulled up the photographs my investigator had sent.
28:21I handed them over.
28:22You were seeing her the entire time we were together.
28:25You got her pregnant.
28:26Derek had nothing left to say.
28:28He sank to his knees in front of me and started crying.
28:32I'm so sorry, Sophie.
28:33I'm so sorry.
28:35I was wrong, but I love you.
28:38I've always loved you.
28:39Not her.
28:40Derek, you make me sick.
28:42I nodded to security.
28:44They escorted him and his sister out.
28:47His sister was still calling my name as they went through the doors.
28:50I didn't turn around.
28:52Zenith Tech dissolved completely.
28:55Derek was left carrying significant personal debt.
28:58Vanessa was found guilty of defamation and sentenced to three years.
29:02And on that same day, I received the best news I'd had in a long time.
29:08I was pregnant.
29:09The ugliness was behind me now.
29:11The people who had caused it had found their way to exactly where they deserved to be.
29:16All I was thinking about was the small life beginning inside me.
