Short filmTranscript
00:00I'm the only daughter of the Voss crime family boss.
00:02My husband, Killian, is the second-in-command.
00:05He had no idea I was planning to make him the successor of the syndicate.
00:09Until today, at the hospital, I realized something impossible.
00:13My son's blood type doesn't match mine, but he looks exactly like my husband.
00:18I didn't say a word. I just took a strand of my son's hair.
00:23And I tore up the gang's inheritance papers.
00:27I rushed to the DNA center.
00:30I need a rush test. Now!
00:31My hands were shaking as I gave the sample.
00:33I called a private investigator in secret.
00:35Track my husband. I want to know everywhere he's been.
00:39At 3.40pm, the results hit my phone. I scrolled straight to the bottom.
00:44Serafina Voss is not the biological mother.
00:48The world stopped.
00:49I've been raising another woman's child for nine years, so where is my real baby?
00:54I went to the hospital where I gave birth.
00:56My father wanted me to give birth at the private Voss hospital.
01:00But Killian insisted we come here instead.
01:02He said he had his own people on the inside.
01:04I was so stupid to believe him.
01:06I found the doctor from nine years ago.
01:09I want my delivery records.
01:11Now!
01:11He looked nervous.
01:13His smile vanished.
01:14The file they gave me was almost empty.
01:17No footprints.
01:18No nurse logs.
01:19No blood reports.
01:21Everything was scrubbed clean.
01:22A fake medical file.
01:24A missing baby record.
01:25And a son who looks just like my husband.
01:28Then my phone rang.
01:29It was Killian.
01:31I'm running errands.
01:31I'll be home soon.
01:32Where are you?
01:33I just picked Milo up from school.
01:35I hung up.
01:36I couldn't breathe.
01:38That night, I pretended to have a headache.
01:41I listened to them through the door.
01:44Once they fell asleep, I started searching.
01:47I tore the house apart.
01:48I found nothing in the bedroom or the living room.
01:51Finally, I looked at the computer in the study.
01:53The truth is, in there, I know it.
01:56Footsteps outside, I closed the document fast.
01:59Killian walked in while I was cleaning my desk.
02:01He glanced at the computer screen.
02:03It was back to the desktop wallpaper.
02:06A photo of us at the beach three years ago.
02:08The perfect family portrait.
02:11Still up?
02:13Just organizing some old files.
02:15I turned off the monitor, and he just nodded.
02:17I sat in the dark, listening to him walk away.
02:22The next morning, I sent him to take Milo to school.
02:25The second they left, I ran to the computer.
02:27I tried our anniversary, wrong password.
02:30I tried his birthday, Milo's birthday.
02:33Nothing.
02:34Locked out for 15 minutes.
02:35My own husband had locked me out of our life.
02:41That night, Killian came home and dropped a bombshell.
02:44I'm heading to Philly tomorrow, handling some gang business.
02:48He said it without looking at me.
02:50For how long?
02:51Who are you going with?
02:52I asked.
02:53He snapped at me.
02:54Stop interrogating me, Serafina.
02:55He walked away.
02:56The dinner was silent.
02:58Then, a receipt fell out of his coat pocket.
03:00It was a Tiffany perfume receipt, bought just yesterday afternoon.
03:04I've been married for 10 years.
03:06He never buys me gifts.
03:08The buyer's name was on the receipt.
03:10Chloe Hale, his secretary.
03:12A divorced woman he hired six months ago.
03:15The next day, I followed him to the airport.
03:17I saw them together in the terminal.
03:20Killian was smiling.
03:22A real smile I hadn't seen in years.
03:25She reached out and fixed his collar.
03:27Then, she leaned in and kissed him.
03:29Every lie I told myself finally shattered.
03:32Is that child...
03:33Her child?
03:34I called the private investigator immediately.
03:37Find everything on Chloe Hale, especially if she has a kid.
03:43The detective was fast.
03:45The next day, I got the file on Chloe Hale.
03:48She's 32.
03:49Divorced?
03:49She has a 10-year-old son named Elias.
03:52Then, I saw the date.
03:53Her son is only one day younger than Milo.
03:56My blood started to boil.
03:58I ran back to the computer.
03:59I typed in Chloe's birthday as the password.
04:02It unlocked instantly.
04:05Folders full of photos from 11 years ago.
04:08Killian and Chloe in high school uniforms, eating lunch in the cafeteria.
04:1218-year-old Killian was smearing ketchup on her face.
04:15Chloe in a ponytail, laughing and hiding in his arms.
04:18The next photo, them in the college library.
04:22Then, their graduation, wearing caps and gowns, holding hands.
04:26That was the same year Killian lied to me.
04:28He said the company was in trouble and he canceled our anniversary trip for her.
04:3310 years of lies.
04:34I felt sick.
04:35I drove to Elias' school at 3 p.m.
04:37I saw a boy walk out alone.
04:39He had dark brown hair just like mine.
04:43He had a birthmark on his wrist in the exact same spot as mine.
04:48His clothes were dirty, his shoes were worn out.
04:51That's my son.
04:52He walked away and vanished around the corner.
04:55I sobbed behind the steering wheel.
04:57For that boy, biking home all alone, for 10 years of a stolen life.
05:02And for me, living like a fool, a puppet in a play they wrote.
05:06I wiped my tears and drove to my lawyer.
05:10At the law firm, I set the flash drive down in front of my lawyer.
05:14It had all the evidence inside.
05:15The photos, the DNA report, the medical files, and the perfume receipt.
05:20Every single detail on Chloe and Elias.
05:22I want a divorce.
05:24I want him to have nothing.
05:26And I want my son back.
05:27Leaving the office, I remembered his proposal.
05:3010 years ago, Killian promised me forever.
05:35Sarah, I'll make you happy for the rest of your life.
05:38Turns out his forever only lasted 10 years.
05:42Actually, maybe not even that long.
05:44I grabbed my phone and called my father's right-hand man.
05:48Marcus, there's something I'd like to discuss with you regarding the Syndicate's succession meeting next week.
05:53Killian forgot one very important thing.
05:56This empire belongs to the Vos family, and I am the one in control.
06:00Killian became second-in-command because of me.
06:03I begged my father to give him a chance.
06:05If I can lift him up, I can tear him down.
06:07While he was working in Philly for two weeks, I liquidated every asset in his name.
06:13I went back to that school every single day.
06:16On Friday, I waited for him to come out.
06:18I dropped my folder right in front of him.
06:20He leaned down to help me pick it up.
06:24Thanks, kid.
06:25Is your mom late?
06:26She's working late again.
06:28How do you get home, then?
06:30On my bike.
06:31He said softly.
06:32I handed him a bottle of water.
06:33His eyes are olive green, just like mine.
06:36Does your dad work late, too?
06:37He stayed silent and looked at his shoes.
06:39The soles were peeling off.
06:41The laces were broken.
06:42I tucked $200 into his bag.
06:44Go buy some new shoes, okay?
06:45No, I can't take this.
06:48He stuttered.
06:49Consider it a thank you for the help.
06:51I walked away before he could argue.
06:53That night, I stood at Milo's bedroom door.
06:55He was playing with a brand new, expensive VR set.
06:59Mom?
07:00Is something wrong?
07:01I touched his hair and forced a smile.
07:03Did you finish your homework?
07:04Yeah!
07:05Dad said if I get all A's, we're going to Disney.
07:08I nodded, but my heart was screaming.
07:10My real son is riding a bike in broken shoes while this boy lives in luxury.
07:15Killian finally came home from his trip.
07:20Where's Milo?
07:22Was the first thing he said-
07:22At a two-hour French tutoring session.
07:24Smelled like that Tiffany perfume?
07:27He tried to hug me, but I stepped back.
07:31You smell like perfume, Killian.
07:33Who was it?
07:34Sarah, stop being so paranoid.
07:36It's just from a business dinner.
07:38Give it a rest.
07:39I felt like laughing.
07:40His acting was pathetic.
07:41I pulled the photos out of an envelope and tossed them on the table.
07:45His face went pale.
07:53You tracked me?
07:56Does it matter?
07:58What matters is what happens if the people in the syndicate see these.
08:02Or if my father sees them.
08:08He collapsed onto the sofa, hiding his face.
08:10What do you want?
08:11First, fire Chloe.
08:13Never see her again.
08:14Second, tell me what happened at the hospital ten years ago.
08:17You're crazy!
08:18Over a few photos?
08:19Killian, don't forget the company name is Vos.
08:20I gave you this life.
08:22I can take it back.
08:23For the sake of our ten years and the kids, do as I say.
08:26We can keep going.
08:27After all, we still have Milo.
08:29Killian stared at the pregnancy before it's stunned.
08:33You're pregnant?
08:34Five weeks.
08:35The doctor says it's stable.
08:38Cut ties with Chloe.
08:40Get her out of our lives.
08:41Killian struggled.
08:43I need to think about it.
08:47He stayed up all night.
08:49The light in his room never went out.
08:51The next morning, I was sipping my coffee.
08:54Killian walked out with dark circles under his eyes.
08:57Serafina, I've decided we should...
08:59Don't bother.
08:59I slid the divorce papers across the table.
09:01He was furious.
09:03What is this?
09:04What about the baby?
09:05I told you I was pregnant, and you needed all night to choose?
09:09You didn't think about me.
09:10You didn't even think about Milo.
09:13Milo?
09:13You mean the kid I raised for ten years?
09:15The one who is actually yours and Chloe's?
09:18How do you know?
09:20When did you find out?
09:22I held up my phone with the DNA report.
09:27Thanks for using Chloe's birthday as your password for ten years.
09:32Sera, let me explain.
09:37Explain how you swapped the babies when I gave birth?
09:40Or how you've laughed at me behind my back for a decade?
09:44I stepped closer, my voice cold as ice.
09:49My maving, your round didn't expound to them wide.
09:52Did you feel guilty because you lied to me?
09:55Or because you weren't even a good father to your own son?
10:03Elias.
10:06Where is Elias?
10:08I need to see him!
10:10Too late.
10:14Your son, no, our real son, is somewhere you'll never find him.
10:21And Chloe's son is upstairs, sleeping.
10:25He has no idea what kind of man his father really is.
10:29Serafina, you can't do this!
10:30He's my kid!
10:31Grabbed my arm.
10:32Kilton grabbed my arm.
10:34I shoved him away.
10:36The day you swapped those babies, you lost the right to be a father.
10:40Now get out of my house!
10:45I slammed the door.
10:47I heard him banging on it.
10:49Then I heard his car speed away.
10:52He's going to Chloe.
10:54He's looking for the son he lost for ten years.
10:58But he will never find Elias.
11:02Three days ago, I met Elias again.
11:04The private investigator had given me everything.
11:08I told him the truth.
11:09He was so calm.
11:10His eyes, just like mine, showed maturity beyond his years.
11:15I always felt like I wasn't her son.
11:19Otherwise, why would she leave me here to rot?
11:23I held his hand.
11:24I promised to take him away.
11:26We're going to start over.
11:28He stayed silent for a long time, then slowly nodded.
11:32Yesterday afternoon, he caught a flight with my assistant.
11:35He's abroad now.
11:36New school, new house, new friends.
11:39Once I finish cleaning up this mess here, I'll finally be with my son again.
11:43The divorce papers sat on the table for three days.
11:46Finally, Killian showed up at my door.
11:48He looked like a mess.
11:49Dark circles, unshaven face.
11:53I leaned against the door, refusing to let him in.
11:57Serafina, we need to talk.
12:01The papers are clear.
12:03There's nothing to discuss.
12:05I can't do this.
12:07Think of our ten years.
12:09Our child.
12:11Which child?
12:12The one in the videos?
12:13Or the one upstairs?
12:15Killian's face turned ghostly white.
12:17A week ago, Chloe sent me a batch of files.
12:19I opened them.
12:20They were videos of my real son, Elias.
12:23Videos of him crying, being hit, and locked in dark rooms.
12:27One video showed him at five years old.
12:29He was slapped across the face, just for spilling some milk.
12:33The email had only one sentence.
12:36Thanks for raising my son for all these years.
12:38I watched those videos all night, and I threw up three times.
12:41He tried to explain himself.
12:46I thought Joey.
12:48I'm going to troll them, and I won.
12:51Those videos, Chloe just loses control sometimes.
12:55That's your son.
12:56You see her every week.
12:58You noticed her new perfume and nails, but you never noticed the reach.
13:07But you noticed the bruises on your own son?
13:10He was speechless.
13:12I've hired a lawyer.
13:13Sign it, or we go to court.
13:15The baby swap, the cheating, the abuse videos will all be public.
13:20I'm telling my father.
13:22Sign it while I'm merciful.
13:26Three days later, Killian signed the papers.
13:34Four days after the divorce, I saw their wedding photo online, Chloe in white,
13:38Killian holding her with a stiff face.
13:41The caption read,
13:42Ten years of waiting, finally together.
13:52I took a screenshot and turned off my phone.
13:55My lawyer called that afternoon.
13:57Everything is ready.
13:58The swap records, the abuse.
14:00It's enough to put them away for a long time.
14:02Good.
14:04Do it.
14:07He paused.
14:09Too late.
14:10You don't want to see him one last time.
14:12He came by yesterday.
14:13He says he's sorry.
14:14Too late?
14:23The next morning, my flight is in.
14:25My assistant met me at the airport.
14:28Elias is doing better.
14:29He's starting to talk more.
14:30He even asked when you'd be arriving.
14:32My heart skipped a beat.
14:41The car stopped in front of a White House,
14:43In the garden, a small boy was watching ants.
14:47I whispered,
14:48He looked a bit better than the videos, but still too thin.
14:51Elias.
14:52Milo grew up healthy under my care, while my own son suffered.
15:06The thought cut through me like a knife.
15:10I'm your mommy.
15:13He stared at me for a long time, then nodded slowly.
15:19I pulled him into a hug.
15:20He didn't pull away.
15:22I'm sorry.
15:24I'm Steve.
15:26Mommy is late.
15:27He was shaking in my arms.
15:29For the next two weeks, I left work behind to be with him.
15:32We went to the park.
15:33He rode a carousel for the first time.
15:35We went...
15:38To the library.
15:39He loves books about the stars.
15:41He doesn't talk much, but sometimes he smiles at me.
15:45One afternoon, we were making cookies in the kitchen.
15:48The doorbell rang.
15:53Mr. Rotor?
15:54I dropped the flower sifter.
15:55Killian was standing there, looking like a ghost.
15:57Serafine, I've been looking for you for weeks.
16:01I walked out and shut the kitchen door behind me.
16:08Now you've found me.
16:10You can leave.
16:14I want to see him.
16:15Our son.
16:18I've been having nightmares.
16:23I never knew.
16:24You just chose to look the other way.
16:27He looked at my stomach.
16:31Is the baby still there?
16:34Smiled.
16:34For the first time, I felt truly free.
16:37Of course the baby is here.
16:39I placed my hand on my stomach.
16:41The doctor says it's perfect.
16:42It'll be born next spring.
16:44He looked terrible.
16:45Suddenly, he lost it and lunged it.
16:50Serafina, I need to see my son.
16:53You can't do this.
16:54I looked at him and laughed coldly.
16:57Killian, don't worry about where my son is.
16:59Worry about if your son will even be born safely.
17:03If you want that to happen, go deal with Khloe first.
17:09Get out!
17:10I kicked him out and slammed the door.
17:12Just looking at him made me feel sick.
17:15Through the window, I saw him collapse on the ground.
17:17He was pulling at his hair, looking absolutely pathetic.
17:21Shortly after, my lawyer called.
17:23Ms. Lynn, it's getting ugly, but things aren't going as expected.
17:27It turned out Killian and Khloe had already split.
17:31I gripped my phone, listening calmly.
17:34But Killian pinned everything on Khloe.
17:37The lawyer continued.
17:38The trial lasted two full days.
17:41In the end, Khloe was sentenced to three years for child abduction and fraud.
17:45He sobbed in court, claiming he was a victim manipulated for ten years.
17:49It sounded ridiculous, but the judge believed it.
17:52Mrs. Lynn, I'm sorry.
17:54This isn't the outcome we wanted.
17:56Before hang-up, my lawyer spoke softly.
17:58If you're willing, we can plan our next move.
18:01It's enough.
18:02At least my son is back.
18:04I cut him off.
18:07Elias was doing his homework.
18:09I walked over to him.
18:13Elias,
18:14Mommy punished the bad people, but maybe not enough.
18:19Do you blame me?
18:20He looked up at me.
18:23Mom, I know who's good to me and who isn't.
18:26I've always known.
18:28I covered my mouth, tears streaming down my face.
18:32You look ugly when you cry.
18:35He looked back down at his notebook and mundered.
18:37I burst out laughing, crying, and smiling all at once.
18:44I'm sorry.
18:52These days, I've been desperately trying to make up for ten years of missing motherly love.
18:57I transferred a portion of the family assets into Elias' name.
19:00He's young, but I know what this security means for his future.
19:32I found him the best private school.
19:35Friday afternoon, I went to pick him up.
19:38The gates were crowded with parents.
19:40Elias ran out with his new backpack, his face flushed from playing.
19:45Mom, I got a B-plus on my math quiz today!
19:47As I reached for the paper, I caught a glimpse of a figure across the street.
19:52It was Killian sitting in a corner, covered in stubble and looking haggard.
19:57The powerful second-in-command was nowhere to be seen.
20:04Elias followed my gaze.
20:06I took his hand.
20:09Let's go.
20:10We're going home.
20:12As I turned, I heard hurried footsteps behind us.
20:15Killian had already crossed the street, blocking our path.
20:24Serafina, can we talk?
20:26I motioned for Elias to get in the car first.
20:37There is nothing left to talk about.
20:40Chloe is in prison!
20:42I've handled everything.
20:43I'm completely done with her.
20:49I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
20:51Killian, I sent her to prison.
20:54My lawyers did that.
20:55What did you do?
20:57Oh, right.
20:58You were the victim crying the loudest in court.
21:02I know I was wrong, Sera.
21:04For the sake of the child, forgive me.
21:07I slowly smoothed the wrinkles on my coat.
21:10Our child.
21:16It was fake.
21:20Killian froze, his eyes wide with shock.
21:23The pregnancy report was a forgery.
21:25I just wanted to see what you'd choose.
21:28I took a step forward so he could clearly see my flat stomach.
21:31It's been months.
21:32If I were really pregnant, I'd be showing by now, wouldn't I?
21:35His stare lingered on my midsection for a long time.
21:38It's okay.
21:39It doesn't matter if there's no baby.
21:41He stammered.
21:41We still have Elias.
21:42We have ten years of history.
21:44Stop dreaming.
21:45Wake up.
21:47He scrambled to open his briefcase.
21:49Look, this was for your 30th birthday.
21:52Money was tight back then, so I hid it away.
21:54He lined them up on the ground.
21:56One, two, three.
21:57Every year, I just never gave them to you.
22:01I loved you most when I couldn't sleep because you hadn't texted back.
22:04That version of me is long gone.
22:07These things, they're no different from trash to me now.
22:11He fell silent.
22:12His shoulders slumped as if his spine had suddenly been removed.
22:15I didn't look back.
22:16I turned and walked toward my car.
22:18For me, none of it mattered anymore.
22:21Three years later, in late autumn, Elias has grown so much, he's already up to my shoulder.
22:26Mom, can you come to the parent-teacher meeting next week?
22:30Of course.
22:31For my son's meeting, I'd be there even if the sky were falling.
22:35He turned and gave me a small smile.
22:38He clumsily makes me pasta and carrot cake.
22:41One Sunday evening, we baked cookies together.
22:44Elias accidentally knocked over the baking tray.
22:47His face went pale instantly.
22:49I'm sorry, Mom.
22:51He stammered, his old fear resurfacing.
22:54Elias, you don't ever have to be afraid in front of me.
22:57I knelt down and looked into his eyes.
22:59You can throw a tantrum.
23:00You can be stubborn.
23:02You can say no like other kids.
23:04I don't love you because you're good.
23:07I love you because you're you.
23:09You can say no like other kids.
23:09You can say no like other kids.
23:09You can say no like other kids.
