Three Days Dead, He Threw My Ashes

Short filmTranscript
00:00Three days after I died, my fiancé Logan got the call.
00:04To identify my body, he was lying in a woman's arms, lazy, uncaring.
00:08Dead? Fine. Cremate it first, then tell me.
00:13They burned my body, turned me into ashes, then called him again.
00:16He groaned annoyed.
00:17Yeah, yeah, I'll be there.
00:19Two hours later, he showed up.
00:21Clothes messy, lips marked, just out of a woman's bed.
00:25The staff handed him the small box.
00:27He took it casually, a mocking smile in his eyes.
00:30Really, Leah's ashes?
00:32Or just some random stuff?
00:33The staff bristled.
00:34Sir, we have records.
00:35This is Lydia Vale's ashes.
00:37If you don't believe that, go check it out.
00:41Logan chuckled.
00:42No need, not necessary.
00:44My body was dead, but my spirit still here.
00:46I felt a small relief.
00:48Now that Logan got my ashes, even if he hated me, he'd probably bury me out of respect.
00:52But I didn't get to feel happy.
00:54He raised his foot and ground it hard into my ashes.
00:58Tell Lydia, tricks won't work on me.
01:02He looked at the shocked staff, a grin on his face.
01:05My father's death anniversary is coming.
01:08She better pay her respects at my father's grave, or I'll turn her fake death into the real thing.
01:13He could really do it.
01:14I suddenly felt lucky I was already dead.
01:16If I were still alive, in his hands, I'd be doomed to die even worse.
01:20Before the staff could say anything, Logan got a call.
01:23He had to leave.
01:24Strangely, my spirit followed him.
01:26I ended up in the passenger seat, stuck listening to him talk.
01:30I heard she died.
01:31The voice was familiar.
01:32Camille, Logan's adopted sister.
01:34Back when I dated Logan, she tried more than once to get me to leave him.
01:37I refused.
01:38Then she started causing trouble, spreading rumors at my company, sending thugs to block me.
01:43Logan had a serious talk with her once.
01:44I don't know what he said.
01:46But after that, Camille stayed in line.
01:47Now, hearing her mention me, Logan's expression turned colder.
01:51Don't bring her up again.
01:52She's not dead.
01:54No way.
01:54She's just hiding.
01:56Afraid I'll drag her back to face my father.
01:58But what if she really died, Logan?
02:01What would you do?
02:03My heart skipped.
02:04I instinctively looked at him.
02:06Back then, the old Logan would have crumbled.
02:07If I just scraped my hand, he said I was the only one he'd ever laugh.
02:11But now, he laughed coldly.
02:12Then I'd throw a party for all of Los Angeles.
02:16Three days, three nights.
02:18I froze in shock.
02:19Only now did I realize Logan hated me this much.
02:22So much that my death was something worth celebrating to him.
02:25But Logan, I really am dead.
02:27You just refuse to believe it.
02:28The car stopped in front of a bridal shop.
02:30Logan rushed inside, almost impatient.
02:32I followed him.
02:33And suddenly, I remembered.
02:34The last time he brought me here.
02:35The way he looked at me.
02:36Full of love.
02:37So gentle.
02:37So careful.
02:38He promised me I would be the happiest bride in the world.
02:40But now, he stood there smiling.
02:42Wearing a suit next to Camille in a white wedding dress.
02:45They looked perfect together.
02:46Beautiful.
02:48Logan.
02:50I've been waiting for this day.
02:51I stared, frozen in disbelief, as Camille leaned in.
02:54And kissed him.
02:55No.
02:56I rushed forward, trying to stop them.
02:58But my hand passed right through his body.
03:01I could only stand there, helpless, watching Logan slide a ring onto Camille's finger.
03:06How could this happen?
03:07Why, Camille?
03:08She's the one who killed your father.
03:10Logan.
03:11By the way, Logan.
03:13Is she okay?
03:14We all knew who she meant.
03:15Logan's face stayed cold, even a little annoyed.
03:17What could happen?
03:19Just a little trick.
03:24And should we invite her to our wedding?
03:26Logan lowered his eyes, hiding what he really felt.
03:29Then a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
03:31Of course we invite her.
03:35She's an important guest.
03:37I froze.
03:37I realized Logan wanted me to see his wedding with my own eyes.
03:41After all, this was the scene I'd been longing for.
03:44Back then, his father never gave his blessing.
03:47We never had the chance to have a proper wedding.
03:49But before that wish could ever come true, his father died.
03:52A heart attack.
03:53No cure.
03:54Just gone.
03:55The last call he made was to me.
03:56That night, Logan blamed me.
03:58Completely.
03:58On the day his father was buried, he forced me to kneel at the grave.
04:01Through rain.
04:02For a whole day and night.
04:03His eyes full of grief.
04:04Full of hate.
04:05Lydia, from now on, you and I won't stop until one of us dies.
04:13From that day, I was no longer Logan's lover.
04:15I became his enemy.
04:17He hated me.
04:18He tormented me.
04:19And yet, he wouldn't let me leave.
04:21Every day, he brought a new woman home.
04:23Seeing my tear-stained eyes, he smiled cruelly.
04:26Can't take it, Lydia.
04:28This is all your fault.
04:30Who else can you blame but yourself?
04:32I tried to explain, but he wouldn't listen.
04:34He knew his father never liked me.
04:36He thought his father's heart attack was my fault.
04:38But Logan forgot how deeply he had loved.
04:40He had risked everything, even defying the Pierce family.
04:44How could I betray him?
04:46How could I hurt his father?
04:48After sending Camille away, he seemed to remember me.
04:51He generously took me off his blacklist.
04:54One hand on the wheel, the other dialing my number.
04:57I watched his face soften.
04:59Then twist in anger.
05:00He pounded the steering wheel, shouting,
05:04Lydia, dare not pick up my call, and you're dead!
05:07If only he knew.
05:08It wasn't that I refused.
05:10I just couldn't answer it anymore.
05:13Two weeks later, Logan finally came back home.
05:15He slammed through door after door.
05:17He was nowhere to be found.
05:19His face, already dark, turned even blacker.
05:21Lydia!
05:22Come out right now!
05:24He barked orders to his men, searching for me, muttering under his breath.
05:28Find her.
05:29Yes, sir.
05:33Lydia, if you're running, run far.
05:36Because when I find you, I'll break your legs.
05:40Soon, his men sent him a location.
05:42Logan's expression twisted into something terrifying.
05:46I looked closer, and realized it was Lucas' house.
05:50Dawn, Miss Lydia's last call was to Lucas' heart,
05:53but Mr. Haar says he hasn't seen her.
05:55We suspect he might have kidnapped her.
05:57Logan sneered, cold as ice.
05:59Kidnapped?
05:59Stop kidding.
06:01She must choose to go there herself.
06:03Logan stormed up to Lucas' house,
06:05slamming his foot against the locked door.
06:06His face was dark with anger.
06:08Then he saw Lucas, calm as ever.
06:10Where's my wife?
06:11Where are you hiding her?
06:12Lucas' expression empty, like he'd given up on the world.
06:14I'm not hiding her.
06:15She's dead.
06:17Didn't the crematorium notify you to pick up her ashes?
06:20She even got you to help with the act?
06:22Huh.
06:22Looks like Lydia's really determined to avoid me this time.
06:26But am I really that easy to fool?
06:28Lydia!
06:28Hiding won't get you anywhere!
06:31I'll count to three.
06:32If you don't come out, don't blame me for being ruthless.
06:35Three.
06:36Two.
06:38One.
06:39Logan shoved Lucas to the count.
06:41Search the house!
06:43Find her!
06:44He shouted at his men.
06:47Lucas' calm face now flashed with anger.
06:51Logan, Lydia is already dead.
06:55You even claimed her ashes yourself.
06:58Have you forgotten?
07:00She's dead!
07:02Dead for days!
07:04Lucas grabbed Logan by the collar.
07:06He slammed him against the wall in fury.
07:07Shut up.
07:08And at a time like this,
07:10you still play games with her?
07:13Lucas, you really love her, don't you?
07:16But let me remind you.
07:18She loves me.
07:20She belongs to me.
07:21Maybe one day,
07:22if I get tired,
07:24I'll think about letting you have her.
07:26But for now,
07:27she has to go to my father's grave
07:29and pay her dues.
07:34She won't be with you.
07:36Logan,
07:38you're such a bastard.
07:42Lucas' face flushed with rage.
07:44He slapped Logan across the face.
07:46In an instant,
07:46they were...
07:48Rolled with the punches
07:49and ruled by people here.
07:51I panicked,
07:52pacing frantically,
07:54but I was powerless to stop them.
07:57Lucas,
07:58look at you,
07:59almost getting killed over Lydia.
08:01And her?
08:03Watching calmly,
08:04Logan's eyes...
08:04a heartless woman like that,
08:06worth your love?
08:08Logan,
08:09the pitiful one is you.
08:12You forgive the man
08:13who killed your father?
08:14You hurt the one you love?
08:15You live worse than a stray cat or dog?
08:18What did you just say?
08:19Don!
08:21We found traffic cam footage
08:22of Miss Lydia's accident
08:23and her autopsy report.
08:25We confirmed that she was dead.
08:31Logan froze for a long moment,
08:33then he sprang up,
08:34shoving his eyes aside.
08:35No!
08:35No!
08:36No!
08:37This can't be.
08:39I have to find her.
08:41Bring her home!
08:42Panic and grief,
08:43twisting his face.
08:43No.
08:46No.
08:47She's at home.
08:48She has to be.
08:49She's doing fade.
08:50She's doing this on purpose.
08:52Just to make me come back, right?
08:54He grabbed one of his men by the collar,
08:56eyes wild,
08:57but the next second,
09:01he pushed open the wrong door.
09:03Logan froze.
09:04The desk was covered with photos of me.
09:06Every photo showed my face
09:08trenched in blood.
09:09Some were so mangled
09:10I was barely recognizable.
09:12I glanced once,
09:13then quickly looked away.
09:15I knew how horrific my death had been.
09:18One eyeball dislodged.
09:20A dent in my left temple.
09:22The coroner struggled
09:24to confirm my identity back then.
09:26And now,
09:28Lucas laid the photos out openly.
09:30Logan trembles,
09:31clutching the photos in his hands.
09:32There it was.
09:33The footage of my car crash.
09:35Two vehicles collided head-on.
09:36My car launched into the air
09:38almost instantly.
09:39The scene was horrifying.
09:41Logan's eyes reddened immediately.
09:42His hand shook as he gripped the mouse.
09:44He replayed the video again.
09:45And again.
09:50This can't be.
09:53How could Lydia possibly-
09:55All the evidence is right in front of you.
09:57And you still won't believe it?
09:59Lucas wiped blood from his lips.
10:00His face was dark as he stared at Logan.
10:02Logan, how long are you going to keep fooling yourself?
10:05Logan's voice was hoarse.
10:06How-
10:07How would you know she got in a car accident?
10:10Lucas asked.
10:11You didn't know?
10:11Her last call,
10:13it was to me.
10:14She barely had strength to speak.
10:16But she used her last bit of energy to tell me a secret.
10:19Logan's eyes were bloodshed.
10:20What secret?
10:21She said,
10:22the one who killed your father.
10:24It was Camille.
10:26That's impossible.
10:28It can't be Camille.
10:29She's my sister.
10:31My father loved her so much.
10:34Lucas,
10:35you're lying to me.
10:37Is this some trick you and Lydia cooked up?
10:39Trying to help her escape me?
10:41Don't even think about it, Lucas.
10:43Tell Lydia.
10:44She may be dead,
10:45but in this life,
10:46she dies by my side.
10:48I lowered my lashes,
10:50swallowing the ache in my chest.
10:51It didn't matter.
10:53I was already dead.
10:54Whether Logan believed the truth or not,
10:56irrelevant.
10:57He could never hurt me again.
10:59I was forced to leave Lucas' house with Logan.
11:02As I walked away,
11:03a sharp gaze cut through me.
11:04I turned and met Lucas' eyes.
11:07His eyes reddened,
11:08lips trembling.
11:09Lydia.
11:10I froze for a few seconds.
11:12My eyes stung with heat.
11:13That silent, trembling Lydia.
11:15I finally knew Lucas could see me.
11:18My nose ached with emotion.
11:20Lydia.
11:20Lucas was my best friend.
11:22We'd grown up together.
11:23Inseparable.
11:24In college, I met Logan.
11:25From that moment,
11:26I fell hopelessly in love.
11:28Logan.
11:28Dangerous.
11:29Irresistible.
11:30Lucas tried to warn me countless times,
11:32but it was useless.
11:33He eventually went abroad to study.
11:35We slowly drifted apart,
11:36until Logan's father had an accident.
11:38Lucas returned,
11:39determined to take me away,
11:40but I refused.
11:41I couldn't let go of Logan.
11:42Not long after,
11:43I discovered Camille's secret,
11:44and she ended me,
11:45mercilessly.
11:46Looking back now,
11:47all that remains is regret.
11:49If it weren't for Logan,
11:50the man I would have married
11:51would have been him.
11:52The phone rang.
11:53It snapped me back,
11:55Logan's face twisted with pain and strain.
11:57Caller ID.
11:59Camille.
11:59His heart skipped a beat.
12:01Logan.
12:03Tomorrow's dad's memorial.
12:05Do you think Lydia will come?
12:07His face went dark.
12:08Silence filled the car.
12:09Then, low and rough.
12:10She's already dead.
12:13The line went dead,
12:14and I watched.
12:15Logan.
12:16Strong.
12:16Fierce.
12:17He cried.
12:18Buried his face in the wheel,
12:19growling like a beast.
12:20Tears rolled, shaking, uncontrolled.
12:22I sighed.
12:22If only this had been avoided.
12:23If only back then.
12:24Logan, your regret is too late.
12:26Too late for me to say.
12:27He sent his job.
12:28I sighed.
12:28Threw straight to the crematorium.
12:30Even at night.
12:31Even as a ghost.
12:33Fear crept in.
12:34But Logan.
12:34Untouchable.
12:35Unstoppable.
12:36Where's Lydia's ashes?
12:38Give them to me.
12:38Now.
12:39The staff froze.
12:40They knew him.
12:42The man who had thrown my ashes.
12:45Sorry, Mr. Pierce.
12:47The ashes are already spattered.
12:49There's no bringing them back.
12:51Yes.
12:51He didn't just spill them.
12:53He stomped.
12:54Kicked.
12:55Trampled them flat.
12:56And now,
12:56he's asking someone else for them.
12:58The air went cold.
12:59Logan grabbed the staff by the collar.
13:01Don't lie to me.
13:02When I left,
13:03they were still on the floor.
13:04You must have held them back.
13:06You have three minutes.
13:08Give me Lydia's ashes.
13:09The staff slumped against the wall.
13:10Sir,
13:11we really don't have them.
13:13The ashes we gave you.
13:15Every last bit.
13:16You spilled them yourself.
13:18Twist this,
13:18and we'll call the cops.
13:20Logan froze,
13:21stunned,
13:21finally facing the truth.
13:23My ashes were gone,
13:24scattered by him.
13:25He staggered out of the crematorium,
13:26unsteady and broken.
13:27The night was thick,
13:29heavy,
13:29almost alive.
13:30His face lost in shadows.
13:32From the crematorium to the car,
13:33he stayed silent.
13:34The cabin was still.
13:35I knew he couldn't see me.
13:36Yet my heart pounded like a drum.
13:38The engine died.
13:39Logan leaned back,
13:40black eyes fixed,
13:41on the dark,
13:42endless window.
13:43Until the sky began to pale,
13:44a hint of gray creeping in.
13:46Red veins etched around them.
13:47I reached out to touch his face,
13:49but at the last second,
13:50my fingertips burned like fire,
13:52pain shooting through me.
13:53I pulled back,
13:54trembling,
13:54and suddenly,
13:55I laughed.
13:56Logan,
13:57you cursed me to hell after my death.
13:59Looks like it's finally starting to come true.
14:02This year,
14:03at his father's grave,
14:05only Logan and Camilla remained.
14:06Every time I saw her,
14:08my soul would shake.
14:09My body would quake.
14:10She's the one who killed his father.
14:12Yet Logan stood there,
14:13calm and gentle,
14:14fixing her collar like she was something precious.
14:17Camilla knelt down,
14:18face full of sorrow,
14:19soft and low.
14:21Dad,
14:23Logan and I came to see you.
14:26Oh,
14:26and Lydia is dead now.
14:29You can finally rest in peace.
14:31Logan bent down,
14:32wiping the dust off the stone.
14:34I have good news.
14:35Face quiet.
14:36I'm marrying Camilla.
14:37Almost cold.
14:38You watched her grow up.
14:39You'll be happy for us,
14:41right?
14:43About Lydia,
14:46Dad,
14:46I was wrong.
14:47Thunder rolled across the sky,
14:49loud and deep,
14:50but that one sentence hit harder than anything.
14:52I was wrong.
14:53It echoed in my head,
14:54louder than thunder,
14:55sharper than pain.
14:56I watched him open the car door for Camilla,
14:58gentle,
14:59careful,
15:00like she was his whole world.
15:01They looked like a perfect pair,
15:02a love so rare,
15:04a flawless affair.
15:05And me,
15:05I was just the storm they had to survive.
15:07The pain in their story,
15:09the price they paid
15:10to be alive.
15:11In the days that followed,
15:12Logan threw himself into his wedding with Camilla.
15:14The dress,
15:15the rings,
15:16the invitations,
15:17everything I had dreamed of,
15:19Logan gave to Camilla without missing a beat.
15:21He ignored everything else.
15:23Work,
15:24company,
15:25nothing mattered.
15:26All he could think about was their wedding.
15:27The good news,
15:28it seemed,
15:29I could finally leave Logan behind.
15:32I froze,
15:33then slowly turned around.
15:35Lydia.
15:36The night was dark,
15:37but there was Lucas,
15:38standing under the streetlight.
15:39His eyes were red as he saw me.
15:41Lydia,
15:43it's really you.
15:45I almost forgot.
15:46Lucas could see me.
15:48He stood there carefully,
15:49afraid it was just a trick in his eyes.
15:50When he saw me smile and reach out,
15:52he couldn't hold back.
15:53He rushed forward,
15:54trying to pull me into his arms,
15:56only to touch nothing but air.
15:58Lydia,
15:59why?
16:00Why can't I feel you?
16:02Lydia.
16:03I smiled,
16:04silent,
16:05and Lucas understood.
16:09Right,
16:10you're already dead.
16:11So I went with him back to his house.
16:12On his desk lay a stack of files,
16:14proof about me and father's death.
16:15I realized,
16:16ever since I died,
16:17Lucas had been investigating the crash.
16:19The mastermind behind it was Camilla,
16:21and the news that Camilla was marrying Logan
16:23was everywhere.
16:24If I had known Logan was such a bastard,
16:26I should have taken you away back then.
16:29Then,
16:30let me give them a special gift at their wedding.
16:33On Logan's wedding day,
16:35every big name in Los Angeles was there.
16:37Lucas didn't have an invitation,
16:39so of course he was stopped at the door.
16:41Logan stood in a perfectly fitted suit.
16:43He glanced at Lucas,
16:44face cold and unreadable.
16:46Let him in.
16:46Lucas gave a faint, mocking smile,
16:49didn't say a word,
16:50and quietly took a seat in the corner.
16:52On the giant screen,
16:53their wedding photos played on repeat.
16:55Handsome groom,
16:56beautiful bride,
16:57a perfect match.
16:58What's there to watch?
17:00Trash like that isn't worth your eyes, Lydia.
17:02I nodded,
17:03and looked away.
17:04Soon,
17:05the ceremony began.
17:06Logan stood on the stage,
17:08staring at the entrance without gloating.
17:09That's where his bride would walk in.
17:11This is the moment I had imagined,
17:12and now,
17:13it was finally happening.
17:14Just,
17:15I wasn't the one standing beside him.
17:17This is the moment I had imagined.
17:20Countless times.
17:21And now,
17:22it was finally happening.
17:24Just,
17:25I wasn't the one standing beside him.
17:28Camilla walked down the aisle,
17:29every eye in the room glued to her.
17:31The officiant's voice echoed,
17:32reciting the vows.
17:33I watched the man I once dreamed of marrying.
17:36And now,
17:37his eyes were full of someone else.
17:39My chest tightened.
17:40Tears burned in my eyes.
17:41I wanted to run away.
17:43Lydia,
17:44don't rush.
17:46It'll be over soon.
17:47On stage,
17:48Logan still hadn't said the words.
17:50I do.
17:51Camilla's panic grew.
17:53Logan,
17:54say it already!
17:55Everyone's watching!
17:56Logan looked at her,
17:57unreadable,
17:58his eyes dark.
17:59Then he smiled,
18:00slowly,
18:00and word by word,
18:01he said.
18:02I don't.
