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