Short filmTranscript
00:00I'd waited three years for my wedding day.
00:02Then I was thrown into a snake pit by my fiancé and three elder brothers.
00:07Happy wedding, just so you know.
00:09I slept with your husband last night.
00:12In your bed.
00:13It was amazing.
00:15Rage blinded me.
00:16I slapped her.
00:17A second later, my new husband, Julian Thorne, slapped me back.
00:21Harper is sweet and easy.
00:23She gave up everything for you, and you still hate her?
00:27I'd rather marry anyone but you.
00:30Under their order, I was thrown into a snake pit.
00:33Day one, I thought they'd come back.
00:35Day three, I started counting the cracks in the wall.
00:38Day seven, I stopped.
00:40I was so tired.
00:41After seven days of hell, my three brothers came for me.
00:44Arthur, my oldest brother, a ruthless CEO.
00:47He kicked my leg until it broke.
00:52Harper cried all night.
00:54I've already moved all your assets to her.
00:56Silas, my second brother, an ableist actor.
01:00He twisted my arm until it dislocated.
01:02From now on, only Harper stays in the family trust.
01:06You?
01:08Never call yourself a Vance again.
01:10Declan, my youngest brother, a top surgeon.
01:13The cruelest of all.
01:14He pressed a scalpel into my stomach.
01:16Harper has kidney problems.
01:17You're giving her one of yours.
01:19Consider it payment.
01:20Before I could speak, he cut my organ out.
01:23I was awake the whole time.
01:24Then, through the pain, something shifted.
01:27Twenty years of fighting for scraps of love from people who never wanted me.
01:31Back at the orphanage, Harper locked me in the closet and stole my life.
01:34Twenty years later, I was still paying for it.
01:37Maybe dying was the only way to finally be free.
01:40I stopped screaming.
01:41Despair and pain melted away.
01:43Now I just felt relief.
01:45Arthur and Silas were gone.
01:47Taking my kidney.
01:48In the damp, freezing snake pit.
01:51Only...
01:51Declan frowned, annoyed.
01:53Stitching me up in a hurry.
01:55If you'd just cooperated earlier, I wouldn't be doing this here.
01:57You're nothing but a hassle.
01:59One week ago, Harper got a tiny, barely visible paper cut.
02:03Declan called in his whole elite medical team.
02:05Treated it like an emergency.
02:07He checked on her every three hours.
02:09Now?
02:09The hassle of closing the wound.
02:12He must have noticed I wasn't reacting.
02:14He leaned down, patted my pale cheek, and injected me with antibiotics.
02:19Stop faking.
02:20This is nothing.
02:21You really think this will make me choose you over Harper?
02:25You're so petty, Alara.
02:27Ever since you came back to this family, all you do is play these sad little games.
02:31In the past, words like that would have broken me.
02:33I would have fought back.
02:34Begged him to see I wasn't that person.
02:37Now I felt nothing.
02:38To me, death was the fastest way out.
02:40But Declan misunderstood completely.
02:43What the hell is that supposed to mean, Alara?
02:45You saying this messed up stuff just to make me feel bad?
02:49He jerked the suture hard.
02:51The raw skin tore tight.
02:53Dark blood gushed out.
02:55The pain was unbearable.
02:56When he saw me gasp, my forehead soaked with cold sweat.
03:00You're my blood sister.
03:01Do you know how long we spent looking for you?
03:04There's no way I'd let you die like this.
03:05If you weren't selfish, if you hadn't hit Harper, none of this would have happened.
03:11He finally numbed the wound.
03:14Promise you'll stop making trouble for Harper when we get back.
03:19Apologize to her, and I'll take you to the hospital.
03:23Best care.
03:24No more pain out here.
03:26Inside me, only cold, bitter mockery rose.
03:29Without a word, I lifted my hand and tore open my freshly stitched wound.
03:33Blood poured out.
03:35Alara, are you insane?
03:37You'll die!
03:40I stared at the tears in his eyes, and forced a weak smile.
03:45Death?
03:47That sounds perfect.
03:49Living even one more second makes me sick.
03:54My eyelids grew heavy.
03:56My head fell to the side.
03:58Everything went black.
04:00I didn't die.
04:01When I woke up fully, Arthur was there.
04:05You're finally awake.
04:07You're an adult, Alara.
04:09Why are you so reckless?
04:10Throwing a fit and threatening to give up over something so small.
04:13Where's your pride as a Vance?
04:16You're right.
04:18I'm a disgrace.
04:20I don't deserve to be here.
04:22His hand froze mid-air.
04:24The slap never landed.
04:25Alara Vance!
04:27Stop talking nonsense!
04:32I paid a huge price to get you out of there.
04:34Not so you can talk nonsense like this.
04:38The door opened.
04:40Declan walked in, carrying a bitter medicinal drink.
04:43Drink it.
04:45Don't make me hold you down and pour it in.
04:47No.
04:47It's a waste.
04:50You!
04:52He slammed the bowl onto the nightstand and checked my bandages.
04:56Just as I thought.
04:57The top-tier medicine really speeds up healing.
05:00Behave.
05:01If you tear this wound again, I'm not stitching you up a second time.
05:05Once I would have cried at this tiny scrap of kindness.
05:08Now I just found it deeply, profoundly ironic.
05:12I ripped my arm out of his grip, threw off the blanket, and clutched my wound.
05:16Are you out of your mind?
05:22Alara, what the hell are you doing?
05:24Leaving you.
05:25Letting me go is the best outcome for everyone.
05:29You're off the hook, and Harper can sit on her throne as the Vance Ernish.
05:34Do me a favor.
05:35Let me die quickly.
05:37My words hit a raw nerve in Arthur.
05:41I forbid it!
05:43You are the biological daughter of the Vance family.
05:48Who gave you permission to die?
05:50Declan panicked.
05:51He pressed my shoulders back against the mattress.
06:01I stared at his begging eyes and found it utterly absurd.
06:04I closed my eyes.
06:05Declan tried to feed me the medicinal drink.
06:07Meanwhile, the door swung open again.
06:11Alara, thank God.
06:13You scared me half to death.
06:14When I'd first returned home, he took me out, bought me gifts, and tearfully told me how much the family
06:19had missed me all those years.
06:20His attitude flipped.
06:22Seeing him now just exhausted me.
06:24I turned my face away as he reached out to touch my cheek.
06:29Let me try.
06:30She might listen.
06:31For years, I'd worshipped him, loved him with every part of me.
06:35Door opened again.
06:37Alara, I came to see you.
06:39Harper, you just had a transplant.
06:41You're still weak.
06:42Why are you up?
06:43It's all my fault.
06:45If I'd stopped you that day, none of this would have happened.
06:50I couldn't stop feeling guilty.
06:52I had to apologize.
06:55She took the bowl and sat on my bed.
06:58Alara, please.
06:59Don't be so hard on yourself.
07:01Drink your medicine.
07:02Everyone's worried.
07:03I know you blame me.
07:05But I never wanted to fight you.
07:07Everything in the Vance family is yours by right.
07:09Before the spoon touched my lips.
07:15Alara, how could you?
07:17I was only trying to help.
07:19Tears ready to fall.
07:21Alara, Vance!
07:22Have you lost your mind?
07:24My hand moved to the phone hidden under my pillow.
07:27One bar of signal.
07:29Just enough.
07:29Arthur exploded.
07:31Harper came here out of kindness, and this is how you repay her?
07:34Declan rushed to check Harper's reddened skin.
07:36Are you okay?
07:37Is it badly burned?
07:38Get a doctor here, now!
07:40You've gone too far, Alara.
07:43Harper already apologized.
07:45When will you grow up?
07:47Can you stop being so unreasonable?
07:49You don't have to hurt her.
07:50All four crowded around Harper, pressed against Arthur's chest.
07:56I'm fine.
07:57Please don't blame Alara.
07:58She's just upset.
08:00Once this act would have made me boil with rage.
08:03Now?
08:04I just thought it was funny.
08:05If you want to coddle her, get out.
08:08Don't ruin my room.
08:09All four stiffened in anger.
08:11You clearly haven't learned anything.
08:13Starting now, I'm cutting off your painkillers.
08:16Apologize to Harper properly, then I'll give you your medicine again.
08:19Good.
08:20Let her feel the pain.
08:22Maybe then she'll stop being so spoiled.
08:24I closed my eyes.
08:26Cut the painkillers?
08:27So what?
08:28Physical pain was nothing next to twenty years of misery.
08:31If anything, the pain would keep me awake while I waited to die.
08:34Seeing I didn't care at all, Declan stepped forward and yanked out my IV tube.
08:39The second the excruciating pain crashed over me,
08:42My family and fiancé turned their backs.
08:44The door slammed shut.
08:46Not one of them looked back.
08:48I reached under my pillow and pulled out a small, sharp knife I'd hidden there.
08:52It's time.
08:53Get prepared.
08:54Only fifteen minutes left.
08:56Out in the hallway, they'd walked far when Arthur stopped.
09:00You guys take Harper to treat her burns.
09:02I have a bad feeling.
09:03I'm going back to check Alara.
09:05Silas jumped in.
09:06Let me go.
09:06I'm closest to her.
09:07I'll talk sense into her.
09:08Are we not her real brothers?
09:10Alara needs a doctor right now.
09:11I'm going back.
09:14They're all going.
09:15As her fiancé, I have to too.
09:16Your burn's not bad.
09:17Get it bandaged.
09:18I'll check on you later.
09:19He jogged to catch up.
09:21But the second they pushed open the door,
09:23a thick, choking stench of blood hit them.
09:26I watched it on a screen.
09:27A big monitor mounted inside a moving ambulance,
09:31fed by the hidden camera Kyle had installed in my room weeks ago.
09:35The one who used to slide bread under the closet.
09:38He found me.
09:39He had gotten me out in time.
09:40A decoy in my place.
09:42Clean and quiet.
09:43The way he did everything.
09:45I lay on the gurney and watched the footage with cold, steady eyes.
09:49Arthur knelt on the floor, clutching my body.
09:51His face was soaked with tears.
09:53Alara, I'm sorry.
09:54I was wrong.
09:55Please come back.
09:56I'll do anything.
09:57Don't leave me.
09:58Please don't leave your brother.
09:59Silas crumpled to the floor.
10:00He said nothing.
10:01Just stared at my body with hollow eyes.
10:03Declan's legs gave out.
10:05He'd seen all kinds of gruesome scene, but he couldn't even step close.
10:09Alara, it's my fault.
10:10I ripped your kidney out with my own hands.
10:13I'm a monster.
10:15I deserve to die.
10:16Come back.
10:17Hit me.
10:18Curse me.
10:19Do anything.
10:19Just, please don't leave me like this.
10:23Julian stood frozen, staring.
10:25Then he snapped.
10:26She's not dead.
10:27Alara isn't dead.
10:28This isn't real.
10:33She's breathing.
10:33Look, she's breathing.
10:34She's faking it.
10:35She's doing this to hurt us.
10:37She's not dead.
10:38It's not her.
10:39She's always held it against us.
10:41There's no way she'd just die like this.
10:43Don't you hate us the most?
10:44Do you want to see us suffer?
10:45Come out.
10:46Just then, Harper lingered at the back of the room.
10:48She slipped back two steps quietly and turned to flee.
10:52Stop.
10:52You.
10:53This is all your fault.
10:57Arthur, what are you saying?
11:00Alara's dead.
11:01I'm heartbroken too.
11:03How could you blame me?
11:05Something's not right about her death.
11:07You're not leaving.
11:08You're not going anywhere until we find out the truth.
11:11She tried to act innocent,
11:12but this time the three brothers looked at her with only suspicion.
11:15Not a single trace of pity remained.
11:18I didn't do anything.
11:19She killed herself.
11:20This has nothing to do with me.
11:22How you got adopted,
11:23or how Alara disappeared,
11:24we never dug deep.
11:25Now that she's dead,
11:26you think you can just walk away?
11:27Declan already had his phone out,
11:29dialing his security.
11:30I'm having my men keep an eye on you.
11:32Don't you dare try anything.
11:34The bodyguards closed in.
11:36Harper wanted to run,
11:37but didn't dare move.
11:39I had seen enough.
11:41Take me home.
11:43I woke up in an unfamiliar room,
11:45clean,
11:46quiet,
11:47the faint scent of gardenias.
11:49My body felt completely normal.
11:51No pain,
11:52no weakness.
11:53Kyle sat by the window.
11:54You've been unconscious for three days.
11:56I sat up and stretched.
11:58No surgical scars,
11:59no lingering aches.
12:01Declan's medicine,
12:02it turned out,
12:03had worked exactly as he'd promised.
12:05Twenty years of suffocating pain,
12:07and this whole time,
12:09someone had remembered me.
12:10I laughed softly and began to plan.
12:12I didn't rush.
12:14I thought it through carefully.
12:15Kyle took care of everything.
12:17A sturdy SUV,
12:19a high-rise condo right next to the city park,
12:22a new bookshelf,
12:23easy care plans,
12:25top quality cookware.
12:26I had never asked for any of it.
12:28He just knew.
12:29For the first time in my life,
12:31I had a real home.
12:32Sometimes I pull one out
12:33and read all afternoon.
12:35When I got tired,
12:36he'd come for me and take me for a walk.
12:38This time,
12:39I felt I wasn't alone.
12:40Kyle was always busy.
12:42I never asked him about his life,
12:44but it was clear.
12:45He was a powerful man now.
12:46A month later,
12:47he came to find me.
12:48He sat across from me at the kitchen table,
12:51hands wrapped around a cup of tea.
12:53They're desperate to get you back.
12:55They'll stop at nothing.
12:57And innocent people are getting caught in the middle.
13:00How about let me handle this?
13:01I stared out the window for a long moment.
13:04I'll go back.
13:06I'll fix what they broke.
13:08This has to end.
13:09You know you don't have to do this.
13:12I know.
13:13But I need to end it properly.
13:15He looked worried,
13:16but finally agreed.
13:18Call me anytime.
13:20The guards are on standby.
13:21I was back.
13:23All three brothers rushed in.
13:24Hey, Laura!
13:25You're back!
13:26Don't you ever leave us again!
13:27Silas stood frozen by the bed.
13:29In his hands,
13:30a small tin of fruit drops,
13:31the exact kind I'd begged for at the orphanage,
13:34but could never buy.
13:35I locked that bitch Harper up.
13:36Everything she took from you,
13:38we're taking it all back.
13:40I got your kidney back.
13:42I had it transplanted.
13:43You're healthy again.
13:44Exactly like before.
13:50Is this about atoning for your sins?
13:52Or are you just scared I'll die on you again?
13:56They exchanged guilty, awkward looks.
13:58None could meet my eyes.
14:00A muffled scream came from nearby.
14:02The three of them tensed.
14:04We locked Harper,
14:05make her pray day and night,
14:06to repent for what she did.
14:07Declan walked over and pulled back a heavy curtain.
14:10Harper was chained to the wall on the other side.
14:17Alara, Vance, you're alive!
14:18They're only nice to you because you died.
14:20It's just a novelty!
14:21Give it a few months.
14:22They'll go back to choosing me.
14:23You'll always be the useless spare.
14:26Twenty years of hate and rivalry,
14:28all gone.
14:29It was just numbingly...
14:31Shut up!
14:32Alara, please stay.
14:33Everything the Vaters own is yours.
14:35The company, the estates, all of it
14:36We'll obey your every order.
14:38We'll never let you hurt again.
14:39Alara, I was so wrong.
14:40Please, just give us a chance to make it right.
14:43From now on, we'll treat you a thousand times better
14:45than we ever treated Harper.
14:46I'll take care of you personally.
14:48I swear you'll live a long, healthy life.
14:50We know nothing can erase the past,
14:52but we'll spend our lives making it right.
14:54All these promises.
14:55This was exactly what I had begged for as a child.
14:58Back then, they'd searched the whole country for me.
15:01Taken out newspaper ads.
15:03Abandoned their careers.
15:04And then, they gave me nothing but pain.
15:09My feelings for you weren't all fake.
15:12Harper's lies blinded me.
15:13She poisoned my ears.
15:15Said you were jealous.
15:16Said you never cared about the Vanch family.
15:17The things I said at the wedding.
15:19I regretted them the second I spoke.
15:21Every day since, I've drowned in guilt.
15:23I stared at my fiancé like he was a total stranger.
15:26The man who'd slapped me two times in public.
15:30Who'd screamed he'd rather marry a dog.
15:32Now standing here, saying his love was real.
15:35The biggest joke of all.
15:38We stood in tense silence.
15:40Then, Harper thrashed wildly.
15:42She slipped her wrists free, charged straight for me.
15:44Stop her!
15:45Bodyguards lunged, but Harper fought for the maniac.
15:47She pulled a switchblade from her clothes.
15:49If I can't have the Vance's, neither can you!
15:52Alara, I'll kill you!
15:56The blade sliced deep into his shoulder.
15:59A choked groaned, blood poured down his shirt.
16:02Arthur!
16:05You mad woman!
16:06Don't hurt Alara!
16:07Declan and Julian rushed in, wrenched the knife away, and slammed her down.
16:11The guards rushed in at once, tied her up again, and dragged her away.
16:15Arthur was still bleeding.
16:15Alara, I'm fine.
16:18As long as you're safe, I'm fine.
16:19Don't be afraid.
16:20She'll never hurt you again.
16:22I watched their show.
16:23I only found it funny.
16:24Harper was locked tight, chained in heavy cuffs.
16:27How did she slip free?
16:28She hid a switchblade?
16:29With the Vance's power and security?
16:31They must have known.
16:32You knew she'd escape.
16:33You knew she had a knife, didn't you?
16:34The three brothers froze.
16:36Their faces went stiff.
16:37You let her go on purpose.
16:38To stage a rescue.
16:39You wanted me to watch you bleed.
16:41To pity you.
16:42To believe you changed.
16:44We hurt you too badly.
16:46We just wanted to prove we mean it.
16:47We're scared to lose you again.
16:48I saw their guilt.
16:49Maybe real.
16:50But it didn't touch me.
16:51The scars run deep.
16:52You do this to ease your own guilt.
16:54This isn't redemption.
16:55It's selfish.
16:56No, Alara.
16:57We care.
16:58We regret it all.
16:58Does regret fix anything?
17:00I cut him off coldly.
17:01Can regret ever fix what you did to me?
17:05Set Harper free.
17:06Hand her to the police.
17:07Let the law deal with her.
17:08She ruined you.
17:09You can't let her get away.
17:10I don't want your revenge.
17:11I want justice.
17:12She stole my life.
17:13That's decades in prison.
17:14You chain her.
17:15Torture her.
17:16How are you any better?
17:16You're just different kinds of monsters.
17:19Alright.
17:20Whatever you say.
17:24The Vance family's mess needs cleaning up.
17:26You should compensate every innocent person you've hurt.
17:29I want everything put back the way it was.
17:31That's the only reason I came back.
17:33Yes.
17:34We'll do it right now.
17:36Everything.
17:36Exactly as you wish.
17:37I woke up in an unfamiliar room.
17:40Clean.
17:40Quiet.
17:41The faint scent of gardenias.
17:43My body felt completely normal.
17:45No pain.
17:46No weakness.
17:47Kyle sat by the window.
17:48You've been unconscious for three days.
17:51I sat up and stretched.
17:52No surgical scars.
17:54No lingering aches.
17:55Declan's medicine, it turned out,
17:57had worked exactly as he'd promised.
17:59Twenty years of suffocating pain.
18:02And this whole time,
18:03someone had remembered me.
18:04I laughed softly and began to plan.
18:07I didn't rush.
18:08I thought it through carefully.
18:10Kyle took care of everything.
18:12A sturdy SUV.
18:13A high-rise condo right next to the city park.
18:16A new bookshelf.
18:18Easy care plans.
18:19Top quality cookware.
18:20I had never asked for any of it.
18:23He just knew.
18:24For the first time in my life,
18:25I had a real home.
18:26Sometimes I'd pull one out
18:28and read all afternoon.
18:29When I got tired,
18:30he'd come for me
18:31and take me for a walk.
18:32This time,
18:33I felt I wasn't alone.
18:35Kyle was always busy.
18:36I never asked him about his life.
18:38But it was clear.
18:39He was a powerful man now.
18:41A month later,
18:42he came to find me.
18:43He sat across from me
18:44at the kitchen table,
18:45hands wrapped around a cup of tea.
18:47They're desperate to get you back.
18:49They'll stop at nothing.
18:51And innocent people
18:52are getting caught in the middle.
18:54How about let me handle this?
18:56I stared out the window
18:57for a long moment.
18:58I'll go back.
19:00I'll fix what they broke.
19:02This has to end.
19:04You know you don't have to do this.
19:06I know.
19:08But I need to end it properly.
19:10He looked worried,
19:10but finally agreed.
19:12Call me anytime.
19:14The guards are on standby.
