Short filmTranscript
00:09At the party, my fiancé's best friend, Ashley Porter, switches out the milk I always drink
00:14for my hangover with lube. Something tastes wrong. By the time it hits me, I've already
00:20swallowed. My stomach twists, burning like I've gulped down battery acid.
00:25Oh my god, you actually drank it. Can't even tell milk from lube. Thaddeus Wilde, my fiancé,
00:31looks at me like I'm something disgusting he stepped in.
00:34You should apologize. God, Lavinia, it's just, just a joke. Don't be so uptight. You're gonna
00:42regret this. I grab the bottle and dump the rest over her head. Thaddeus's hand cracks across my
00:51face before I can blink. After I leave the party, I pull out my phone and make a call.
00:57Will you marry me? Three days from now? The moment I pour that bottle over Ashley's head,
01:03everyone in the room goes dead silent. Everyo knows Ashley is Thaddeus's precious best friend.
01:08Nobody messes with her, not even me. Thaddeus! What the hell is Lavinia's problem? It was just
01:15a joke! His hand hits my face before I can say a word. What's wrong with you, Lavinia? He turns
01:22away to help Ashley wipe the liquid out of her hair. Doesn't even glance at me again. My stomach
01:28turns violently. That slick chemical taste coats my mouth. I press my hand over my mouth. If you're
01:34gonna puke, go do it somewhere else. Don't gross everyone out. I grab a glass of water off the table
01:39and drink it down. It helps a little. Ashley keeps wiping at her face while she accuses me.
01:45Thaddeus! I was just trying to have fun with Lavinia and look what she did! She must hate me!
01:52Why else would she do this to me? It's all Lavinia's fault. That soft voice. I can't remember
02:00the last time he used it with me. After he finishes, Thaddeus turns to me. His voice is ice cold.
02:06Apologize to Ashley. Now. Thaddeus, do you even hear yourself right now? I'm the one who got
02:12tricked into drinking Labbe. I barely fought back and you lose it? I stare into his eyes for a split
02:18second. I catch guilt flicker across his face. Nobody has ever treated me like this before.
02:24She humiliated me in front of all those people. How am I supposed to face anyone after this?
02:32She turns to Thaddeus with tears in her eyes. Maybe we shouldn't be friends anymore.
02:37Your fiance clearly hates me. She dramatically turns to leave. Thaddeus panics and grabs her arm
02:42shouting at me. Apologize! Now! The resolve in his eyes leaves me no choice. I fight back the nausea
02:48as I force the words out. I'm sorry. Only then does his expression soften. He goes back to comforting
02:54Ashley. It's okay. It's all her fault. I'll make it up to you tomorrow. I don't know what he means
03:01by that, but the smug look in Ashley's eyes tells me it won't be anything good. The music starts up
03:07again. Thaddeus and Ashley spin around in the center of the dance floor. They leave me sitting alone at
03:12the table. Thinking about the marriage I am about to enter. Suddenly, a sharp pain shoots through my
03:18stomach. I've had stomach problems since I was a kid. The lube must have triggered it. The pain hits
03:24like knives twisting in my gut. I try to stand up and call for help, but my voice gets swallowed
03:29by the music. Nobody hears me. Thaddeus. I reach my hand toward him, desperate for him to notice,
03:36and take me to the hospital. Thaddeus doesn't see me, but Ashley does. She uses the dance to spin in
03:41front of him, blocking his view. Nobody's coming to help. I force myself through the pain and dial 911,
03:48my hands shaking so badly I can barely hold my phone. As I stumble out the door, I catch sight
03:54of
03:54Thaddeus kissing Ashley on the lips. Something inside me goes numb. My chest aches worse than my
03:59stomach ever could.
04:08At the hospital, they pump my stomach, and the doctor discovers it is not just lube. Ashley mixed paint
04:14into the drink too. They have to pump my stomach three times to get everything out. My stomach's
04:19already a mess, and after all that, it is completely wrecked. Late that night, every breath I take burns.
04:28The pain gets so bad, I finally break down and call Thaddeus, begging him to come stay with me.
04:33I try calling him three times, but no one picks up.
04:39Then I see Ashley's Instagram story. They moved the party to my house, my villa. The video shows my
04:47stuff scattered all over the floor. My figurines are in the trash. My first ever award, winning robot
04:53design from college. Someone ripped his head off, and the pieces are rolling around under the table.
04:58And there is Thaddeus, drinking with Ashley, making out with her while everyone cheers them on.
05:05I call him one more time. He finally picks up. His voice drips with irritation.
05:10Jesus, it's the middle of the night, Lavinia. What do you want?
05:13Thaddeus, I'm not doing well. They just pump my stomach. I feel terrible right now.
05:20Can you please come to the hospital, just for a little bit?
05:22I hate how desperate I sound. I think he can hear how much I am hurting.
05:27Thaddeus, come here. I just peeled an apple for you.
05:33You've got doctors for that. I'm busy. Can you stop blowing up my phone?
05:37Just take some Tumsems or something, and don't call me again.
05:41My throat closes up. I can't get a single word out.
05:44Ashley grabs the phone from him, her voice smug.
05:47Lavinia, wow, you sound terrible. Still dying over there?
05:51There is a satisfied laugh in her tone.
05:52Ashley, get the hell out of my house and fix my figurines.
05:57Oh, your little robot thing?
06:00I had the cleaning lady sweep it up.
06:02It's probably at the bottom of the dumpster by now.
06:06Trap-alongs with trash, you know?
06:08That was my life's work. How could you just...
06:11A sharp pain rips through my stomach.
06:13I curl into myself, cold sweat breaking out all over my body.
06:18Okay, Lavinia, enough with the drama.
06:22Tonight's Thaddeus' bachelor party.
06:26And how good chainsite you?
06:28He says he's got a big surprise planned for me, so stop trying to ruin it.
06:31Thaddeus doesn't have time for you right now.
06:33He's busy setting up the champagne tower.
06:36And all that junk in your room, Thaddeus told us we could mess with it, so we did.
06:40We broke everything and tossed it.
06:42Must be nice, being so loaded.
06:44All those collector's editions and limited runs, they're in a dumpster somewhere now.
06:49Good luck with that.
06:50I am furious and panicking, but my stomach twists so violently, I can't even fight back.
06:55At some point, the call drops.
06:56I take the medicine the nurse gives me and pass out.
06:59When I open my eyes again, morning light floods the room.
07:03My phone buzzes with a message from Ashley.
07:05It is a photo of Thaddeus.
07:07The gift Thaddeus mentioned?
07:09Turns out it was him.
07:10La ma.
07:11That is the bedroom I prepared for Thaddeus.
07:13Our bedroom.
07:15I picked out every piece of furniture, every decoration, every detail.
07:19And now they're doing this disgusting shit on my wedding bed.
07:22I remember back in college during the robotics competition, when I won.
07:26Thaddeus held my project in his arms and cried, actually cried.
07:29Because he was so happy for me.
07:31I don't know when he turned into someone I don't recognize anymore.
07:34Maybe it started when Ashley showed up.
07:36Maybe it was even earlier than that.
07:38The bridal shop calls.
07:40Miss Gray, your custom suit and rings are ready for pickup.
07:44Just throw them out.
07:45I don't want them anymore.
07:47When I get home from the hospital the next day, I expect the place to still be a disaster.
07:52But when I push the door open, everything's spotless.
07:55Except all my figurines and art prints are gone.
07:57My room is completely stripped bare.
08:00Thaddeus stands in the kitchen making breakfast, like nothing happened.
08:04Hey, you're back.
08:05Sorry I didn't come see you yesterday.
08:07Something came up.
08:09How's your stomach feeling?
08:13Ashley's just immature.
08:15You know, she was playing around with you.
08:17I know the difference between a joke and pure malice from another woman.
08:20Oh my god, you actually drank it!
08:20She did it on purpose, Thaddeus.
08:22She made my stomach condition worse.
08:24You know I can only eat liquids now.
08:26Right?
08:27Thaddeus frowns.
08:28And I can see he is already losing patience.
08:31Enough!
08:32Ashley just likes to have a little fun.
08:34Why are you being so patty about it?
08:35I freeze.
08:36My stomach starts to throb with a dull ache.
08:39Fine.
08:40Let's say the lube thing was a joke.
08:42What about my stuff in my room?
08:43You remember, right?
08:45We built that robot model together for our first competition.
08:48And that painting on the wall?
08:49My mom gave it to me for my birthday before she died.
08:52Were those jokes too?
08:54Thaddeus slams his plate down on the table.
08:56The crash echoes his irritation.
08:59That's ancient history.
09:00You're hoarding a bunch of junk that takes up space.
09:03You should be thanking Ashley for clearing it out.
09:05And that awful painting?
09:07Why are you still keeping something from a dead person in the house?
09:10It's gross.
09:11The word gross stabs straight into my chest like a blade.
09:14The pain in my stomach surges up all at once.
09:17I grip the doorframe and bend over, cold sweat dripping down my temples.
09:21Thaddeus.
09:22I grit out through clenched teeth.
09:24My voice so hoarse I barely recognize it.
09:26That was my mom.
09:27He acts like he doesn't see me falling apart.
09:30His voice drips with disgust.
09:33So what if it was your mom?
09:34She's gone.
09:35What's the point of keeping all this junk around?
09:38Ashley was trying to help this household and you just keep bitching about it.
09:41That was my stuff.
09:42She had no right to touch it.
09:44I can't hold back anymore.
09:45The tears threaten to spill as I force the words out.
09:48You're being ridiculous.
09:49Thaddeus' face flushes red.
09:51He points at the door.
09:52Ashley was trying to help you clean your room and you can't even be grateful.
09:56All you do is stand here and complain about every single thing.
10:00You're obviously not thinking straight.
10:02As he is yelling, I hear the door lock click.
10:05The sound of it turning makes my blood run cold.
10:08Even the fingerprint reader now recognizes Ashley's print.
10:16Wow, your stomach's already better?
10:19Guess I didn't use enough.
10:20Ashley!
10:20I lunge forward to grab her arm, but Thaddeus blocks me.
10:24He shoves me backward and I stumble into the wall.
10:27The pain in my stomach crashes into the ache spreading across my back and everything goes
10:30dark around the edges.
10:31Ashley was trying to help.
10:33Stop acting crazy!
10:34I look at him and laugh.
10:36I don't even mean to, but it comes out anyway.
10:38The tears follow right after and I can't stop them.
10:41So this is what all those years mean to him.
10:44Our entire relationship is just something he can throw away whenever he feels like it.
10:48Forget about her.
10:49I made shrimp and grits.
10:50Your favorite.
10:51He pulls Ashley away and they sit down at my new dining table, the one I just bought
10:55for our home, and start eating breakfast together.
10:58He even scoops some into a plate for me, but his voice is still annoyed when he says,
11:03You should eat some too.
11:04It'll help your stomach feel better.
11:05He sets the plate down like I am just some guest he is being polite to.
11:08But he clearly forgot that I've been allergic to shellfish for years now.
11:12Back in college, the first time he ever cooked for me, he made shrimp and grits.
11:17I didn't want to hurt his feelings after he'd worked so hard, so I ate a small plate anyway.
11:21I went into anaphylactic shock right there in his dorm room, and almost didn't make it.
11:25He was so scared that day.
11:26After that, he memorized everything I couldn't eat, and even stopped eating shellfish himself,
11:31just to be safe.
11:32But now, because Ashley likes it, he's forgotten all of that.
11:36Forgotten us.
11:37I watch the food slowly cool on the table, and I feel my heart doing the same thing.
11:44The night before the wedding, Ashley says she wants to give a speech as Thaddis' close friends
11:49during the reception, and she wants to pull some wedding pranks too.
11:53Thaddis looks uncertain about it, but I don't hesitate.
11:56Sure, go ahead.
11:57Do whatever you want.
11:58I must sound different, because Thaddis just stares at me.
12:01You're acting weird.
12:02You really don't mind?
12:03I thought you'd be upset.
12:04But don't worry.
12:05Ashley's just my friend.
12:06She'll keep things appropriate.
12:09Why would I mind?
12:11Wedding pranks are supposed to be fun, as long as you two enjoy yourselves.
12:14Ashley's whole face lights up.
12:16She was clearly expecting me to fight her on this.
12:18I knew you'd be cool about it!
12:19Don't worry.
12:20Tomorrow's gonna be amazing.
12:22We'll make sure your wedding isn't boring or anything.
12:24Thaddis and I go way back, so obviously, we're gonna make it really memorable.
12:29You won't get all weird about it, right?
12:32Guess I should thank you in advance, then.
12:34I look up at her and put on a sincere smile.
12:36Oh, and by the way, I've got a little surprise planned for you two at the wedding tomorrow.
12:41What kind of surprise?
12:43You'll find out.
12:44I keep my voice casual, but I can see the unease creeping across his face.
12:49Ashley digs through my closet and pulls out one of my reception dresses,
12:53then just holds it up against herself without any shame.
12:56Hey, Lavina, this dress would look great on me.
13:01How about I wear it tomorrow instead?
13:03She is already slipping the dress on, and then she pulls out some dirty old dress from
13:06God knows where and tosses it at me.
13:08Here.
13:10This cheap things you way better anyway.
13:15She even pins my bridal brooch to her chest.
13:17And for a second, she actually looks like she is the one getting married.
13:21If this were a few days ago, I would have lost it.
13:23But today, I just watch it all happen with nothing but cold in my chest.
13:28Sure, wear whatever you want.
13:30Thaddeus stares at me for a long moment, like he wants to say something.
13:33But he never does.
13:34It's getting late, I've got work to finish up, so you two can do whatever you want.
13:39As I turn and head into the study, what's up with her?
13:43She used to fight us on everything.
13:46Did we finally break her or something?
13:49She's being so obedient now, just doing whatever we say without arguing back.
13:54I think Lavilla's finally learning her place.
13:57I don't know.
14:06Ashley just rolls her eyes and doesn't answer.
14:09Meanwhile, I lock the study door behind me and pull two folders out of my desk drawer.
14:14These are the gifts I am planning to give them at tomorrow's wedding.
14:17Outside, Ashley keeps trying on my dresses one by one,
14:21throwing the ones she doesn't like on the floor and stepping on them.
14:24Thaddeus is right there, helping her.
14:25Like she is the one getting married tomorrow instead of me.
14:28When she thinks I am not paying attention,
14:30she even takes my custom gold brooch and pins it to her own chest.
14:34Seeing her like that, cheap and desperate, I almost laugh out loud.
14:39It is pathetic, but I don't care anymore.
14:42Tomorrow, this all ends.
14:48The next morning, I get dressed early and head to the reception hall first.
14:52When Thaddeus wakes up, he calls me right away.
14:54Liv, the bridal shop says my wedding suit is missing.
14:57What's going on?
14:59I told them to throw it out.
15:00The wedding's off.
15:02I hang up before he can respond and signal the officiant to keep going with the ceremony.
15:06And now, let's welcome the groom.
15:11I stand at the entrance and push open the doors.
15:16He is wearing a brand new custom suit that fits him perfectly,
15:19and he moves with this quiet confidence that makes everyone stare.
15:23But it is not admiration I hear from the guests.
15:26It is shock, because the groom isn't Thaddeus.
15:29It is Alaric Foster, the son of my father's oldest friend.
15:33Long time no see, Liv.
15:35When was the last time we ran into each other?
15:37Six months ago?
15:38And now here we are at our wedding.
15:40This is absolutely insane.
15:41I loop my arm through his.
15:43What, you having second thoughts?
15:45Are you kidding?
15:46I couldn't ask for a better surprise.
15:48He takes my hand and leads me toward the altar.
15:50And he doesn't even glance at all the confused faces watching us.
15:55Thaddeus' parents, Charlie Weald and Judith Weald,
15:58are the first ones to snap out of it.
16:00They rush over.
16:02What is this?
16:04Where's my son?
16:05I look at them, at the way their faces have gone pale and tight with worry.
16:11Thaddeus?
16:12I, I don't know, probably on his way here.
16:16Levenia, what are you saying?
16:18What did Thaddeus do wrong?
16:21What did he do wrong?
16:22I let out a soft laugh and let my eyes drift over the guests below us.
16:26Then I look back at Judith.
16:28He's so close with his female friend, but he still wants to marry me?
16:33Does he think I'm blind?
16:35I let my voice carry across the room, and every head turns toward me.
16:39There are plenty of men out there.
16:40I don't need one who's already in love with someone else.
16:43And you two knew all about them, didn't you?
16:45I saw the photos Ashley posted of you cooking for her.
16:48You all look like a happy family.
16:50The room erupts.
16:51Guests, guests start whispering to each other, and Judith's face goes pale, then bright red.
16:57But, but I still thought you were the better choice for him.
17:00That's why I told Thaddeus to marry you.
17:02I laugh, but there is no humor in it.
17:05If I hadn't overheard that conversation between Thaddeus and Judith before the wedding,
17:09I might have actually believed her.
17:13Mrs. Gray, I heard every word you said to Thaddeus before the wedding.
17:17You told him the Gray family would be a good connection, that marrying me would help support your household.
17:24If I didn't have value to you, you never would have agreed to this marriage.
17:28You have two other sons who can't get their lives together, and you wanted my family's money to bail them
17:34out!
17:35Judith doesn't say anything this time.
17:37She just stands there crying while everyone stares at her, trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
17:43I ignore all the shocked faces and turn to Alaric standing beside me.
17:47Sorry you have to see all this.
17:49Are you kidding?
17:50This is better than reality TV.
17:53It really expands my understanding of human behavior.
17:56Plus, I get to marry you out of it, so I'm calling this a win.
17:59Mrs. Gray!
18:04The wedding coordinator inches toward me.
18:06Mrs. Gray, what do we do about the rest of the ceremony?
18:09We're sticking to the original plan.
18:11The only change is that Alaric is the groom now.
18:14My legal husband.
18:16My family wants me to marry Alaric from the start,
18:18but I insisted on Thaddeus back then, and my father respected my decision even though he knew better.
18:24Only now do I realize just how right he was.
18:27Dad saw through Thaddeus from day one, but he let me make my own choice anyway.
18:33I glance back at Judith and her husband,
18:36who are still standing there on the stage looking lost.
18:39Mr. and Mrs. Gray, you're welcome to take a seat and watch the ceremony if you'd like,
18:44but you need to get off the stage.
18:46You're blocking our way.
18:47Charlie and Judith completely collapse on the floor,
18:50mumbling, we're done, over and over.
18:53Eventually, someone has to carry them to their seats.
19:01I am pulling out the diamond ring, and about to say,
19:05I do.
19:07Stop!
19:10When an uninvited guest bursts through the doors,
19:14Stop!
19:15Thaddeus shows up in a cheap, badly fitted suit and rushes toward the altar,
19:19completely out of breath.
19:20Lavinia!
19:21What the hell is this?
19:22His hair is a mess from running here, and he doesn't even bother fixing it.
19:26This is supposed to be our wedding!
19:28What are you doing bringing some other guy here?
19:31His voice is sharp and accusing, like I am the one who betrayed him.
19:35I squeeze Alaric's hand tighter and give him a reassuring look.
19:39He's my legal husband.
19:41Today is my wedding to Alaric, not you.
19:44You should go be with your best buddy, Ashley.
19:47Honestly, you two make a great couple.
19:50Thaddeus's face drains of all color and his mouth falls open.
19:53Maybe he didn't think I'd actually embarrass him like this in front of everyone.
19:57Or maybe he just assumed I'd never really leave him.
19:59But either way, he brought this on himself.
20:02Lavi.
20:04Lavinia!
20:05What are you saying?
20:06We've been together for five years!
20:08How can you just throw that away and choose someone else?
20:10At a wedding, no less!
20:12You and Ashley have been acting like a couple for months now,
20:15and you've hurt me over and over again because of her!
20:21Did you forget all of that?
20:23Did you forget all of that?
20:25Ashley's face turns bright red, and she tries to back away.
20:28But Thaddeus grabs her arm and holds on tight.
20:30That's not Lavinia.
20:31She's just my friend.
20:33And he won't even look me in the eye.
20:34Instead, he keeps glancing nervously at the guests,
20:37who are all starting to whisper to each other.
20:39The murmuring gets louder and louder,
20:40and Thaddeus's face goes from white to completely red.
20:44I've seen that woman before.
20:46She's always hanging around Thaddeus.
20:48Yeah, didn't Thaddeus buy someone a sports car last month?
20:51I think it was for her.
20:52Wow, I never would have guessed.
20:54This guy's a total player.
20:56Just friends, huh?
20:57I raise an eyebrow and pull out my phone,
20:59then connect it directly to the venue's sound system.
21:02Thaddeus and Ashley's conversation fills the entire hall.
21:05Crystal clear.
21:06Does that idiot Lavinia actually believe you only love her?
21:09Once we get our hands on the Grey family's money,
21:11we're out of here.
21:13Relax, babe.
21:14After the wedding ends, she'll be my legal wife,
21:16and then her money becomes our money, right?
21:19The recording stops,
21:20and the entire hall goes dead silent.
21:22Thaddeus's face drains from red to white in seconds,
21:25and he staggers backward before collapsing onto the floor.
21:28His suit gets covered in dust,
21:29and he looks absolutely pathetic sitting there.
21:32I recorded that conversation last night.
21:34Turns out it is coming in handy already,
21:36when Thaddeus's mother realizes they've been exposed.
21:39She charges at him and slaps him hard across the face.
21:41How did I raise such a useless son?
21:43We almost had everything, and you let it slip away.
21:46Do you have any idea what the Grey family represents?
21:49Do you know how hard we work to make that connection?
21:51And you turned the wedding into this disaster.
21:54I should have never had you.
21:57Mom!
21:58You hit me?
22:01Lavinia's the one who betrayed me.
22:03She's the one who wanted to switch grooms.
22:06Betrayed you?
22:07You've got some nerve.
22:09You and that homewrecker scheme to steal the Grey family's money?
22:13The recording just played for everyone to hear,
22:15and you still want to act innocent?
22:17Then she turns to me, and her whole tone shifts.
22:20Miss Grey, please be the bigger person here.
22:23Don't hold this against my stupid son.
22:25Thaddeus knows he made a mistake.
22:27Just give him one more chance.
22:28The wedding, the wedding can still happen.
22:31Mrs. Wilde, the Grey family isn't desperate enough
22:35to pick up someone else's leftovers.
22:37Pierce's son already slept at the bachelor party.
22:41I wouldn't normally care about something like that,
22:44but when someone shoves photos in my face,
22:46I can't just pretend I don't know.
22:50You.
22:51How do you know about that?
22:54You'll have to ask your good friend Ashley about that.
22:57Thaddeus whips around to look at Ashley.
22:59It wasn't me, she's lying!
23:01You're making this up!
23:02When did I ever tell you anything?
23:05Thaddeus, don't believe her, I swear!
23:07I didn't say anything!
23:09Thaddeus just stares at her,
23:10and his face fills with disbelief.
23:13Ashley, you drugged my drink that night.
23:16That's the only reason anything happened between us.
23:18No, I didn't!
23:19You're lying!
23:22No!
23:24I was gonna let it slide since we were friends,
23:28but I didn't think you'd go around bragging about it to everyone.
23:31Looks like I need to call the cops after all.
23:33You need some time in jail to think about what you did.
23:36Thaddeus pulls out his phone to dial 911,
23:39and Ashley completely loses it.
23:43Thaddeus, just listen to me!
23:47I got carried away that night, okay?
23:49I didn't mean for it to happen!
23:51Got carried away?
23:56You drugged with me and then showed Lavinia the photos just to rub it in her face.
24:01And you call that getting carried away?
24:03The 911 operator picks up while he is still talking,
24:06and I just stand there watching this whole train wreck unfold.
24:10After Thaddeus finishes explaining everything to the dispatcher,
24:13Ashley's last hope dies right there.
24:15She collapses on the floor,
24:17all the strength draining out of her body.
24:20Thaddeus, please don't press charges!
24:22If you just write a victim's statement saying you forgive me,
24:25we can settle this privately.
24:27Don't you remember?
24:28You asked me to test whether Lavinia really loved you,
24:31and I did everything you wanted.
24:34Just let me off the hook this once, please!
24:39You asked me to test whether Lavinia really loved you,
24:41and I did everything you wanted.
24:44Just let me off the hook this once, please!
24:46So that is what all of this was.
24:49Everything that happened before was just Thaddeus testing.
24:52Whether I loved him or not,
24:55but his little test tore me apart
24:57and left me with permanent stomach damage.
25:01Ashley keeps begging on her knees,
25:03but Thaddeus won't even look at her anymore.
25:05His eyes find mine instead,
25:07and they're full of regret,
25:08but I am already holding tight to Alaric's hand.
25:11I don't care what Thaddeus feels anymore.
25:13Charlie and Judith turn to me next.
25:15Their voice is practically begging.
25:17Liv, sweetie, please.
25:19Thaddeus knows he messed up.
25:21Just give him one more chance.
25:24I laugh coldly and look at both of them.
25:26I can see exactly what they're thinking.
25:29Let's be honest here.
25:31Are you really doing this for me,
25:32or are you doing this for yourselves?
25:35Your other two sons are disasters.
25:38One's drowning in gambling debts,
25:39and the other one can't stay out of trouble.
25:42You think I'm gonna let the Grey family
25:44keep bailing them out?
25:45You just want me to marry into your family
25:48so I can pay off their mess, don't you?
25:50No, no, we genuinely love you.
25:53This is all Thaddeus' fault.
25:57He's the one who doesn't know how to act right.
25:59She drags Thaddeus over
26:00and starts slapping him across the face.
26:02One hit after another.
26:05Mrs. Wild,
26:05if you want to discipline your son,
26:06do it somewhere else.
26:07Don't make a scene at our wedding.
26:08Mind your own business!
26:10You stole Lavian from him,
26:11and now you think you can tell me what to do?
26:13Who the hell do you think you are?
26:14My expression hardens,
26:16and I pull Alaric behind me.
26:18My voice comes out ice cold.
26:20Mrs. Wild, watch your mouth.
26:21Alaris is my husband.
26:23What makes you think you can just show up here
26:24and start shit?
26:26Judith flinches at my tone,
26:27but she keeps pushing.
26:29Husband?
26:31He's just a homewrecker
26:32who stole someone else's woman.
26:34If it weren't for him,
26:35my son wouldn't be in this mess,
26:37and you wouldn't be so dead stud
26:39against marrying my son!
26:42Oh, really?
26:44Thaddeus was the one who schemed
26:46to get his hands on the Grey family fortune.
26:48Ashley drugged him and did God knows what.
26:50You guys did this to yourselves.
26:52None of this has anything to do with me.
26:55Besides,
26:56Lavinia should have married me from the start.
26:59We just gave Thaddeus a five-year chance,
27:02and he blew it.
27:02That hits Thaddeus like a knife to the chest.
27:05Alaric!
27:06Don't get too crocky!
27:08Lavinia used to love me.
27:09She'll come back to me eventually.
27:12Besides,
27:12you're just taking over
27:14our wedding venue for yours.
27:16Aren't you embarrassed
27:17when people find out?
27:18A booming voice calls out from the doorway.
27:21Who said my son's getting married here?
27:24Who said my son's getting married here?
