Short filmTranscript
00:00I was quite satisfied with my arranged marriage husband.
00:02He was always well-behaved.
00:04He was a nice man.
00:05I walked into the private dining room that evening.
00:07A young lady was offering Arthur a seared scallop from her fork.
00:10I smiled.
00:11I greeted the executives at the table.
00:13I glanced at the girl.
00:14She didn't bother to give up her seat.
00:16The sales director shot her a sharp look.
00:18This is Mrs. Vant, our CEO's wife.
00:21Hello, Mrs. Vant.
00:22I'm Chloe, the new executive secretary.
00:23It's so nice to meet you.
00:25I gave her a polite, faint smile.
00:27I said nothing.
00:27I took the nearest available seat.
00:29I made small talk with the table.
00:30My eyes stayed on Arthur and Chloe across from me.
00:33I watched Arthur casually chew the scallop.
00:35Then I watched Chloe pick up half a grilled lobster.
00:38She stared at it with a helpless expression,
00:39then shot Arthur a pleading look.
00:41Arthur frowned slightly.
00:42He took the lobster from her plate,
00:44peeled it with his bare hands,
00:45then placed the meat back onto her plate.
00:48I narrowed my eyes.
00:49I lowered my head and texted my housekeeper, Martha.
00:51Mrs. Vant, I'm just so jealous of how lucky you are.
00:54To marry someone as successful as Mr. Vant,
00:56you get to just stay home and be a loving wife.
00:58It must be wonderful.
00:59Not like the rest of us who have to work so hard every day just to get bought.
01:03I looked up.
01:04You really are new.
01:05You have absolutely no manners.
01:07Cut the nonsense.
01:08You think Mrs. Vant is just a housewife?
01:10We call her Mrs. Vant here as a courtesy to her husband.
01:12But outside this room, she's Miss Sterling,
01:14CEO of the Sterling Group.
01:17I'm so sorry, Mrs. Vant.
01:19I just speak my mind.
01:21Please don't hold it against me.
01:24I just can't help feeling a little sorry for Mr. Vant.
01:28Watching you spend so lavishly.
01:30He sacrificed so much to build Vant's corporation into what it is now.
01:35The Vant's are a power cup couple from two legendary families.
01:39Please, she's the only heir to this Sterling Group.
01:43Apologize to her.
01:44Right now.
01:45Chloe's face went pale.
01:46She bit her lip.
01:47Her large eyes filled with tear as she looked helplessly at Arthur.
01:53Apologize to my wife.
01:55From now on, watch your mouth and know your place.
01:58If you don't know something, ask.
01:59If you don't understand, learn.
02:00I'm sorry, Mrs. Vance.
02:01I have another engagement.
02:03I shall take my leave.
02:04Excuse me.
02:05My other event ended at 10 p.m.
02:08Arthur was already waiting for me at the parking garage.
02:10He opened the car door as usual.
02:12We chatted casually on the drive home.
02:13The atmosphere was mild.
02:14Once we got home, Arthur went to shower.
02:16When he stepped out,
02:17ten massive boiled lobsters were laid out on the dining table.
02:20I smiled warmly at his confused expression.
02:23Darling, peel them for me.
02:26Arthur looked stunned.
02:27Didn't you not eat well at dinner?
02:28You can't possibly finish all this.
02:30He turned to call Martha to clean it up.
02:32I stopped him.
02:34I want you to peel them for me.
02:36With your own hands.
02:38Natalie, you know I'm a germaphobe.
02:40I smiled gently.
02:41Are you?
02:42Because tonight,
02:43you seemed perfectly fine getting your hands dirty
02:46peeling a lobster for your new young assistant.
02:49So you're jealous over that?
02:53It's rare to see you jealous.
02:55I thought Mrs. Vance was always above it all.
02:57Well, she's just a new intern, fresh out of college.
03:01She has no filter because she's young.
03:04If it bothers you, I promise it won't happen again.
03:07He denied so fast.
03:09I looked up at his handsome face.
03:10We'd been married three years.
03:12In his thirties, time hadn't aged him.
03:14Only refined his quiet dominance.
03:16I reached up and gently touched his cheek.
03:20Arthur, do you know why I picked you over every other eligible heir?
03:24You're quiet, decent, keep to yourself.
03:28Your parents told me you don't like unnecessary physical contact with strangers.
03:32That you hate people invading your space.
03:36Coincidentally, so am I.
03:38Our marriage is a strategic arrangement between our families.
03:41We've been fine these three years.
03:43I want us to keep this clean and steady for both our sakes.
03:47Don't disappoint me.
03:52Peel all these lobsters.
03:55Consider it your punishment for crossing a line with another woman.
03:59This is your first and last warning.
04:02Behave yourself.
04:04I didn't check what time Arthur finally came to bed.
04:07I did my skincare routine and went to sleep.
04:09When I woke up the next morning, the dining table was full of neatly peeled lobster.
04:13Arthur had already left for work.
04:15Martha stood quietly to the side.
04:18Martha, you've got a big family to feed, don't you?
04:20Take all this home with you.
04:21My husband peeled it himself.
04:22It's perfectly clean.
04:23Enjoy.
04:25After that day, Arthur and I went back to normal.
04:27That little unpleasantness was just a minor blip.
04:30Harmless and soon forgotten.
04:31If anything, he treated me even better than before.
04:34I had no interest in babysitting him or tracking which women he spoke to.
04:37As the head of the Sterling Empire, I had a company to run.
04:40Then, one month later, he pulled up to take me to a Vance family dinner.
04:44The car window rolled down.
04:45Chloe sat in the passenger seat, looking faintly smug.
04:48I frowned.
04:49Hello, Mrs. Vance.
04:51You look stunning today.
04:53Chloe smiled brightly.
04:55Her pretty face was innocent and naive.
04:57She acted as if she couldn't sense my displeasure at all.
05:00Arthur also looked completely unfazed, as if nothing was wrong.
05:03My expression got cold.
05:05Get out.
05:07Chloe's smile froze.
05:09Mrs. Vance, Mr. Vance was just dropping me off on his way.
05:13I get terribly carsick.
05:14That's why I'm in the front seat.
05:16She shot Arthur a desperate, pleading look.
05:18Arthur looked at me helplessly.
05:20Knowing my temper, he didn't try to defend her.
05:22I repeated it, my voice colder.
05:25Get out.
05:31Let my wife sit.
05:32Chloe bit her lip and climbed out reluctantly.
05:35As she reached to open the rear door, I cut her off.
05:39Who said you could get back in?
05:41Chloe froze.
05:41I took a slow breath.
05:45Can't you even afford an Uber?
05:47Things must be tough.
05:49I'll cover your fare.
05:50Go home.
05:51Be safe.
05:52Arthur watched awkwardly and tried to intervene.
05:54Arthur, this is your fault.
05:56If your employee's gaze can't even afford a cab and have to hitch a ride with the CEO,
05:59you're failing as a leader.
06:02Starting tomorrow, transport dippings for all mid-level and above staff at Vance Corp and Sterling Group go up 10%.
06:07Charge it to Sterling accounts.
06:09Chloe's eyes reddened.
06:10Tears swirling.
06:12Mrs. Vance, I may be poor, but I won't let anyone trample on me.
06:17What gives you the right to insult my dignity with your money and status?
06:22I laughed.
06:24You're so broke you have to beg your married boss for a ride, yet paying for your cab insults your
06:28dignity?
06:29Does your dignity only stay intact if the CEO drives you home himself?
06:32That's some expensive dignity.
06:33In just the two minutes you've delayed us, Arthur and I could have made millions.
06:39If he wastes more time detouring to your place, how will you compensate us for the loss?
06:45With your dignity?
06:46I ignored her face, got into the car, and slammed the door.
06:49Arthur silently started the car.
06:52The silence in the car was heavy.
06:54I wasn't going to be the first one to break it.
06:56Arthur cleared his throat.
06:57Her apartment isn't far from my parents' estate.
06:59It really wasn't out of the way.
07:00There was no need to.
07:05Arthur, I told you, I like you because you're decent.
07:09You're not the only one who values cleanliness.
07:11I require boundaries.
07:13First, you peeled a lobster for another woman.
07:15I let it slide with a warning.
07:17Today, you let her sit in my seat and adjusted it for her.
07:20I give everyone in my life exactly three chances.
07:22Today was your second.
07:23My demands aren't high.
07:25Keep a professional, appropriate distance from other women.
07:27It isn't that hard.
07:36Arthur, don't disappoint me.
07:38He didn't say another word.
07:40The car fell into a suffocating silence.
07:42I didn't care if he was upset.
07:44I've never tiptoed around anyone.
07:46The car pulled into the van's estate.
07:47When we got out, I linked my arm through Arthur's like nothing was wrong.
07:51You know our marriage isn't just about us.
07:54Smile if you don't want our stocks crashing tomorrow.
07:57We're adults.
07:58Don't act like a child.
08:00Understood?
08:01I smiled brightly for the staff.
08:05Natalie.
08:07Natalie, you get more beautiful every time I see you.
08:09Come, sit next to me.
08:10Arthur sat on my other side.
08:12The Vance family was big and wealthy.
08:15The dining room was lively.
08:16Throughout dinner, old Mrs. Vance chatted affectionately with me and told the servers to give me the
08:22best dishes.
08:23That joint venture between our companies is going wonderfully.
08:27You're truly brilliant, Natalie.
08:29We're family, Mother.
08:30It's our shared success.
08:31What's wrong with you?
08:32Not a word.
08:33Not even tending to your wife.
08:35Arthur's smile was tight.
08:37You two were so caught up in conversation, I didn't want to interrupt.
08:41I heard you hired a new executive assistant.
08:44She seems rather out of line.
08:46I already called HR and had her fired.
08:49Just a junior intern with no skill or sense.
08:53I gave her three months' separation and told her to find another job.
08:56Arthur slammed his fork down.
08:58Mother, I'm the CEO now.
09:01If you fire my staff, you go through me.
09:03Okay?
09:04Old Mrs. Vance calmly placed a shrimp on my plate.
09:07The Vance-Sterling alliance is everything.
09:09You inherited the company over your brothers because you were rational and saw the bigger
09:12picture.
09:13Don't throw away your greatest advantage.
09:15As soon as we got back to our place, Arthur leaned against the doorway and watched me kick
09:19off my heels.
09:23Natalie, we need to talk.
09:25I walked to wash my hands.
09:28Go ahead.
09:29The light cast shadows across his face.
09:31Did you really have to drag Mother into our marriage?
09:34I paused, dried my hands on a towel, and looked at him.
09:39You think I complained to your mother?
09:40His eyes were dark.
09:41In all the years I'd known him, he had never looked at me with such coldness.
09:45Didn't you?
09:46Natalie, I put up with your spoiled act, but you've targeted Chloe again and again.
09:50You have no empathy.
09:52Your jealousy is out of control.
09:53I narrowed my eyes, studying the man I'd lived with for years.
09:57I realized that my judgment hadn't always been perfect.
10:00This time you crossed the line.
10:03You ran to Mother and made her fire my employee.
10:06You know how much I hate people interfering with my company.
10:09Are you finished?
10:10Are you mad because Mother challenged your fragile authority?
10:14Or because your precious assistant lost her job, and you feel sorry for her?
10:18My cold tone pushed him over the edge.
10:20You really think you've done nothing wrong?
10:24What did I do wrong?
10:25Was I wrong to not stay quiet while you cross lines with your subordinate?
10:30Was I wrong to not stop your mother?
10:32Or was I wrong not to divorce you the second you peeled that lobster for her?
10:36Arthur's pupils shrank sharply.
10:37I took two steps back, looked him up and down, and shook my head in disappointment.
10:41Arthur, I told you, everyone gets three strikes.
10:46You just used your third.
10:47No one can stand your arrogance!
10:50The argument ended in disaster.
10:51Furious and humiliated, Arthur stormed out that night, starting a cold war.
10:55I didn't have time or energy for his games.
10:58Sterling Group was in the middle of a huge overseas expansion, and I was swamped with work.
11:02A week later, I saw the headlines.
11:04Arthur had attended a high-profile charity gala, with Chloe as his date.
11:07The photos were perfect.
11:09A handsome billionaire and a beautiful young woman in a custom gown.
11:12A diamond necklace glowing around her neck.
11:14I stared at the photos for about ten seconds.
11:16Then I nodded, picked up the phone, and told my secretary to hire the best legal team in the country.
11:21A divorce between our families involved billions in assets.
11:24The clauses had to be precise, airtight, and final.
11:27While I was reviewing the drafts with my lawyers, old Mrs. Vance called.
11:35Natalie, what's all that in the newspaper?
11:37Did you and Arthur fight?
11:38Her voice was tight with panic.
11:39You could call it that.
11:40I don't know the gala details, but it seems Arthur has shown his hand.
11:44Natalie, he's completely lost his mind!
11:46Don't worry, I'll make him apologize properly.
11:49That won't be necessary, old Mrs. Vance.
11:52I'm already drafting divorce papers.
11:54Once finalized, I'll send them to the estate.
11:56You and Arthur can review them and inform my lawyers if you plan to contest anything.
11:59She froze.
12:00Then she cried out,
12:01You can't do that!
12:02I stayed silent, listening to her ragged breathing.
12:05Natalie, Arthur is in the wrong.
12:07But this marriage affects two empires.
12:10You can't throw it away over a mistake!
12:13I smiled.
12:14Old Mrs. Vance, this is no small error.
12:15I gave Arthur three chances.
12:17He wasted them all.
12:18I won't bend my rules for him.
12:20Natalie!
12:20A sudden divorce will crash both companies' stocks!
12:23Arthur's father was a playboy, too.
12:25He had mistresses.
12:26All the men in our circle are like this.
12:28As long as you're the official Mrs. Vance, what does some girl matter?
12:31A corporate marriage isn't a game.
12:33You can't be reckless.
12:35Even if you don't care about Vance Corp, what about Sterling Group?
12:38How will you explain this to your father?
12:41Old Mrs. Vance.
12:43When you step out, people call you Old Mrs. Vance out of respect for your husband.
12:46When I step out, they call me Miss Sterling.
12:48You chose to take your husband's name and live as the Vance matriarch.
12:51That's your choice, not mine.
12:53The day I took over Sterling Group, I became the one in charge.
12:56I answered to no one.
12:57As for the risks and financial fallout of my decision, I already have countermeasures.
13:02You don't need to worry.
13:03I hung up.
13:04The papers were ready.
13:05I took the folder and had my driver take me straight to Vance Corp headquarters.
13:09I walked smoothly onto the executive floor.
13:12Employees bowed and greeted me.
13:14No one dared block my way.
13:15I headed straight for Arthur's office and pushed the door open.
13:18Arthur was at his desk, reviewing a contract.
13:20And right outside his inner office, sat Chloe, secretly taking photos of him.
13:24They both looked up when I entered.
13:26A flash of smug triumph crossed Arthur's face.
13:28What are you doing here?
13:29Well, look who it is, Mrs. Vance.
13:31It's extremely rude to burge in without knocking.
13:33As Mr. Vance's executive assistant, I must announce you before you...
13:36Before she finished, I lifted two fingers.
13:39Two large men in sharp black suits stepped out behind me.
13:42She's loud.
13:43Shut her up.
13:44One guard clamped a gloved hand over her mouth.
13:47What the hell are you doing?
13:49I strolled casually toward his desk, smiling calmly.
13:51Don't panic. I'm here on business.
13:54A random obstacle blocked my way, so I handled it.
13:57Review the terms.
13:58If you have objections, have your lawyers call mine.
14:00Arthur's eyes fell on the bold words stamped on the cover.
14:03Divorce agreement.
14:04Staring at me in utter shock.
14:06You want a divorce?
14:08I do.
14:09Just because I took Chloe to a gala?
14:11Natalie, when will you stop acting like a spoiled brat?
14:13I told you.
14:14Three strikes.
14:16The gala was strike four.
14:17I keep my promises.
14:18I'm not signing this!
14:19Arthur tore the divorce papers in.
14:21This marriage is too important to throw away over over a tantrum.
14:24You're jealous and cold.
14:26You're a terrible wife!
14:28The sound of my hand across his jaw echoed through the huge office.
14:31Arthur, did your little assistant inflate your ego so much that you forgot who you're talking to?
14:37The Mad Men era is long over.
14:38Why are you still expecting me to play the 1960s housewife?
14:42A good wife?
14:43You mean someone like your mother, who lets her husband cheat while she defends a worthless title to save face?
14:48I don't know how to be that woman.
14:50I am the sole heir of the Sterling Empire.
14:52I was raised to rule, not serve.
14:54My net worth is in the tens of billions.
14:57I hold absolute power.
14:59What on earth made you delusional enough to think I would ever submit to you?
15:03Chloe and I didn't do anything.
15:04I never cheated.
15:05I just wanted to teach you a lesson.
15:07I wanted you to be softer, more obedient.
15:09Our marriage was fine.
15:10Every couple fights.
15:11How can you throw divorce around so lightly?
15:14First, I don't care if you slept with her.
15:16The second you paraded her in front of the press and let the media humiliate me, you sealed your fate.
15:20Second, calling me a good wife is no compliment.
15:23I have no wish to be molded into one.
15:25I am who I am.
15:26I don't need a title to define me.
15:27Third, don't flatter yourself.
15:29I liked you because you were clean and respected boundaries.
15:31Now you're dirty, so I'm discarding you.
15:33I don't break my rules for anyone.
15:35Don't ever think you're the exception.
15:37Lastly, it's just a divorce.
15:39I'm fully prepared to handle the fallout on my end.
15:42Whatever financial damage it costs you is no longer my concern.
15:46I turned and walked out.
15:48My bodyguards released Chloe.
15:50She collapsed onto the carpet, trembling, gasping for air.
15:53As I walked past, she suddenly snapped her head up.
15:56Natalie Sterling!
15:57You think you're so great?
15:59You act so high and mighty, but you're just lucky.
16:02Born with a silver spoon in your mouth.
16:04Without your father's money, you're nothing.
16:06You have no right to look down on me.
16:09I stopped.
16:10Little girl, being born into a wealthy family is a skill in itself.
16:14My family built a business empire with generations of hard work, which gave me my current status.
16:19And I inherited this legacy, doubled our profits, and became a world-famous CEO.
16:24I don't have to chase after married men, nor do I have to use tricks to rely on other women.
16:29Your jealousy is pitiful and completely useless.
16:33I walked to the elevator without a backward glance.
16:35News of our upcoming divorce swept the internet.
16:38Gossip spread like wildfire.
16:40A few older Sterling Group board members worried about the stock drop, but none dared to challenge me, so they
16:45kept quiet.
16:46Arthur refused to sign the papers.
16:47I heard he fired Chloe again.
16:49This time, she ran out of the Vance building sobbing hysterically, and not one employee went to comfort her.
16:54Old Mrs. Vance desperately tried to arrange meetings with me.
16:57My office turned every request down.
16:59I was busy.
17:00The Sterling Group's long-awaited new product launch was only days away.
17:03I had no time for people no longer relevant to my life.
17:06I stopped.
17:07Just as I was wrapping up, the auditorium doors burst open.
17:11A crowd of uninvited paparazzi flooded the aisles.
17:14Cameras rolled.
17:15Flashbulbs exploded.
17:16Security rushed to stop them.
17:18But a fragile figure pushed through to the front.
17:21Chloe.
17:21She wore a simple white dress.
17:23No makeup.
17:23Her eyes were red and swollen.
17:25She looked utterly broken, like a victim.
17:28She stepped right to the edge of the stage and dropped to her knees.
17:31CEO Sterling, I'm begging you, please leave me alone.
17:34Mr. Vance and I didn't do anything wrong.
17:36I was only his assistant.
17:38You can't use your money and power to make him fire me and ruin my life.
17:41I'm just an ordinary girl, but I have dignity, too.
17:44You can't crush me just because you're rich.
17:46Paparazzi ate it up.
17:48Reporters pulled out their phones and went live for millions of viewers.
17:51Security moved toward the stage.
17:53I held up a hand.
17:54It's fine.
17:55Let her talk.
17:56You were born with everything.
17:59I fought my way out of a small town just to get a job in this company
18:03with one word.
18:04You destroyed years of my hard work.
18:06It's not fair.
18:08I looked down at her from the podium.
18:10Are you done?
18:13Chloe, since you brought these accusations out in public,
18:16I'll answer them in public.
18:17First, I know full well nothing physical happened between you and my soon-to-be ex-husband.
18:21You just love overstepping lines with married men.
18:23Sitting in my seat in his car?
18:24Letting my husband peel lobster for you?
18:26Hanging on his arm at black-tout events?
18:28Second, you were fired from Vance Corporation twice.
18:30The first time by Arthur's mother, old Mrs. Vance,
18:33because she found your motives repulting.
18:34The second time by Arthur himself,
18:35because he knew you helped destroy his marriage.
18:37I'm CEO of Sterling Group.
18:38I never touched Vance's HR.
18:40You're blaming the wrong person.
18:41That's a lie!
18:42You just hate me!
18:43You're jealous I got to work so close to Arthur!
18:45You turned his family against me!
18:50Jealous?
18:51Of you?
18:52Your entire outfit today costs less than my weekly hair and makeup.
18:56Exactly what am I supposed to be jealous of?
18:58That you're an assistant fetching coffee while I run a billion-dollar empire?
19:02The crowd burst out laughing.
19:04A female reporter in the front row actually snorted.
19:09Tears of real humiliation spilled down Khloe's cheeks.
19:14Khloe, your foundation isn't waterproof.
19:16The whole natural no-makeup look isn't really landing today.
19:20Khloe wiped at her face frantically,
19:22realizing her victim act was ruined.
19:24So what if you're rich?
19:25If I had your family,
19:27Arthur would have picked me over an old hag like you!
19:30Maybe.
19:31Because right now you have nothing to offer but your fleeting youth.
19:35Like that's all a woman is worth.
19:37But let me remind you something.
19:39When I was your age,
19:40I took over a failing empire,
19:42cleaned out the board,
19:43and took full control of the market.
19:44Now I'm ten years older than you.
19:46My youth might be fading.
19:47But I have wealth, power, and respect beyond anything you can imagine.
19:52When you reach my age,
19:53and your youth is gone,
19:56what will you have left?
19:57You just got lucky!
19:58You walk all over normal people and think you're some kind of god!
20:01Just wait and see!
20:02Shut up!
20:03Who do you think you are?
20:04Running your mouth like some ignorant brat?
20:05Under Mrs. Sterling's leadership creating even tens of thousands of jobs,
20:09the charities we've given thousands of children in education,
20:11our employees get some of the best pay and benefits in the industry.
20:14Do you really think Mrs. Sterling wastes her time on petty, pathetic drama like you?
20:18I waved him off and turned back to the club.
20:21You think you've won?
20:23Millions are watching this livestream right now.
20:25People hate greedy elites and stand with regular workers.
20:28You're gonna get torn apart online.
20:30Really?
20:31Why don't you check the comments?
20:33My PR team had already sent me the updates through my hands.
20:37The livestream was top-trend.
20:39People were eating up the drama.
20:40And public opinion,
20:41which had first favored the moral work in birth,
20:44had flipped completely.
20:46Suddenly, the back doors burst open again.
20:49Arthur, I hadn't seen him in weeks.
20:51He looked terrible.
20:53Are you out of your mind?
20:55What are you doing?
20:56Arthur, I knew it!
20:57I knew you still cared about me!
21:01Natalie.
21:02Can you please forgive me?
21:03I never wanted a divorce.
21:05I swear I never slept with her.
21:07I only took her to the gala to put you in your place.
21:09I didn't think you'd go this far.
21:10I'm sorry.
21:11I'll never talk to her again.
21:12Let's just call off the divorce, please.
21:14No.
21:14I don't accept excuses.
21:15The second you tried to humiliate me to feel in control,
21:18our marriage was over.
21:19Why are you ending everything over one mistake?
21:21We were happy before this!
21:23Because it wasn't a mistake.
21:25It showed me that you don't respect your partner.
21:27You don't see me as your equal.
21:28You saw me as something to be tamed and controlled.
21:31Sign the papers, Arthur.
21:33Have a good night.
21:34A week later, Arthur's lawyers delivered the signed divorce papers.
21:38The chaotic press conference didn't hurt Sterling Group's launch at all.
21:42Cliffs of my speech went viral across every platform instead.
21:46The public picked through the whole story,
21:49dragging Chloe nonstop as a homewrecker and Arthur for his toxic ego.
21:53I was widely praised for walking away without hesitation.
21:57Chloe was fully blacklisted.
21:59Not one respectable company in the city would hire her.
22:03With no options and no money left,
22:05she packed her bags and slunk back to her hometown.
22:09As for Arthur, the fallout was catastrophic.
22:12The PR disaster, plus Vance Corp cutting ties with the Sterling Empire,
22:16sent Vance stocks plummeting.
22:18The board rebelled.
22:20Old Mrs. Vance couldn't save him.
22:22The family stripped him of his CEO position and his inheritance.
22:26In a family that big, there was always another brother waiting in the wings.
22:30I walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse office
22:34and stared out at the glittering skyline.
22:36A skyline I owned a piece of.
22:38I breathed in slowly.
22:40A woman should never be tamed or controlled in a marriage.
22:43Luckily, I learned that lesson a long time ago.
22:46She was treated as a person a mother.
