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