00:10To be continued...
00:30Miss Kincaid touched Lila's back with tenderness he once reserved for me.
00:33Honey, Vivian will be upset. She's pregnant too.
00:36She won't know. I'm not telling her.
00:39He was devoted to her while I carried his baby.
00:42But lying forever isn't a plan. If she runs into us...
00:44What's there to fear? That baby's mine too.
00:48My stomach twisted. He said it like cancelling a subscription.
00:51If I hadn't been dumped, I wouldn't compete with Vivian.
00:54I owe you my life. I'm just repaying the debt.
00:58Miss Kincaid, you're lucky. Your husband is so attentive.
01:02Lila pretended shyness, soaking up the praise.
01:05Damien nodded. I stood there, test results burning a hole in my bag.
01:08I wasn't just betrayed. I was replaced.
01:11Then Lila's gaze locked on me. Smug, fake, sweet.
01:16Damien followed the nurse to get the checkup results.
01:19Lila excused herself to the restroom until the corridor was empty.
01:22You can come out now. Still not satisfied with the show?
01:25I took a step forward, my face filled with determination.
01:28So you're still pretending to be Mrs. Kincaid? Even though Damien doesn't love you?
01:32Bold, coming from the woman who knew he was married.
01:35And slid right in. Congrats. You're not a victim. You're a mistress?
01:39I knew Damien long before you. If I hadn't left, you'd never have his ring.
01:43Now I'm back carrying his baby. It's time you hand over what's mine.
01:46My heart ached, my vision blurred, but my body chose to stand.
01:50Lila snatched the document from my hand. She quickly scanned the conclusion.
01:55Answer, seriously? Are you gonna live long enough to have that baby?
01:58Or will you and your bastard go down together?
02:00Something inside me snapped.
02:06Lila deliberately fell, tears welling in her eyes.
02:10Vivian, I'm pregnant. Please don't hurt me.
02:12A violent shove came from behind. I fell, my stomach hitting first.
02:16Pain erupted. Breath caught. Please, my baby.
02:19Damien grabbed my arm and pulled me up.
02:22What's wrong with you? How could you hurt Lila? She's pregnant.
02:25Damien, don't fight for me. It's my fault. If Vivian wants to hit me, I'll take it.
02:29Just let the baby be okay.
02:31Vivian, you're wrong. Apologize.
02:34Apologize? Do you even know what this is?
02:36He merely glanced at it, then tore it to shreds.
02:39Enough. I don't care. You were cruel today.
02:42You're pregnant too. How can you be so heartless?
02:45Tears welled up, humiliating and scalding.
02:48Just apologize. I know you're stressed. After the baby's born, I'll make it up to you.
02:55He pushed me towards Lila. Victory shone in Lila's eyes.
02:58I looked at Damien and saw the truth. He had made his choice.
03:01I'm not apologizing. You two should be the one saying sorry.
03:05I turned and walked away. Lila's cries sounded like applause.
03:11Behind me, Damien's breath caught. For a heartbeat, I thought he might chase me.
03:15Damien, my belly hurts, but Vivian matters more. Go after her.
03:19Forget her. You're what matters. She's eight months pregnant and throwing tantrums.
03:24She won't leave. I'll fix it later.
03:26I went home to a house that no longer felt mine. Since Lila's return, Damien had vanished
03:31more and more. The warmth we'd built drained away. Standing in the living room, I felt like
03:36an overstayed guest. I took down our wedding photo and dropped it in the trash. The dull
03:40thud felt final. I was done leaving traces of myself. For a man who didn't want to remember
03:45me. Hauling a trash bag to the stairs, the front door opened. Damien carried Lila like a
03:50tragic heroine, his face tender. When he saw me, panic flickered. He hated being caught,
03:56not what he'd done.
03:57Lila's not feeling well. You pushed her earlier.
04:00If she's sick, take her to the hospital. Did our living room become an ER?
04:04Watch your mouth. I'm cleaning up your mess. Lila's state.
04:08Vivian, don't get it twisted. I'm just here to rest and protect the baby.
04:12This is our home, I said, voice steady. I won't let her move in.
04:16Damien hesitated, until Lila laced her fingers with his,
04:20guiding his hand to her stomach. Enough, Vivian. You're pregnant too,
04:25where's your compassion? If you can't handle this, you'll leave.
04:29The words hit like ice. I nodded, voice thin. Fine, I'll go.
04:33I grabbed the trash bag and walked into the cold.
04:35Honey, she took down your wedding photo.
04:37Ignore her. She loves drama.
04:39I dumped the trash, shaking. He thought I'd beg to come back.
04:43He had no idea I'd rather walk into darkness alone,
04:46than live in a house where I was the pro-
04:50I thought I was already broken, until a sound from the nursery blurred my vision.
04:54That was Damien's promise. He furnished it himself.
04:57He swore our child would have everything.
04:59Now it feels like someone is stealing my future.
05:01Get out!
05:02What's wrong with you?
05:08Are you giving this room to her?
05:11She likes it here. What's the big deal?
05:13This room means to us...
05:15Enough. You constantly disappoint me.
05:18If you continue like this, I'll reconsider our marriage.
05:22You don't want the child fatherless, do you?
05:24Don't be afraid. Mommy will give you better.
05:42Damien's voice was full of patience and affection.
05:45He advised her on how to handle morning sickness.
05:47How to soothe a baby.
05:48How to rest.
05:49These tips he once dismissively threw at me.
05:52Now I understand he was just practicing on me.
05:54To be perfectly flawless for Lila.
05:56Every bowl of soup, every parenting book.
05:59Every detail of the nursery.
06:00He experimented with all of it on me and our child.
06:03I was just his training ground.
06:05My child, just his trial period.
06:07It's okay, you'll be leaving soon.
06:09You and your child deserve a better life.
06:13Lila moved in, my marriage ended with a sigh.
06:15Damien's focus was solely on her.
06:17I became his shadow.
06:19Going for water, I heard her voice.
06:26Darling, the Kinkade pendant is lucky.
06:28Baby keeps me up.
06:29Can I wear it until he settles?
06:31My fingers clutched the pendant.
06:33It's the Kinkade wife's mark.
06:34Worn on my wedding night.
06:36No second Kinkade wife.
06:37Of course, dear.
06:39Wear it as long as you like.
06:40His words struck me like a slap.
06:42I turned to leave, but the floor creaked.
06:50Damien froze.
06:51Guilt flashed.
06:52Vivian, you heard.
06:54She's pregnant.
06:55Needs support.
06:57Just let her borrow it.
06:58I nodded blankly, stomach cramped.
07:00She can have it, but sign this.
07:02Damien laughed, thinking I was sulking.
07:04He signed without looking.
07:06Happy now.
07:07I'll buy you anything.
07:09We'll work this out.
07:15She can keep it.
07:21He didn't notice, went to Lila.
07:23Lila let out a joyful shriek.
07:30I stood by the window, silent.
07:32Tomorrow, I will truly leave.
07:34Then I heard Lila's voice, soft and rotten.
07:36Darling, you got it too easily.
07:45I should have locked the bedroom door.
07:47Damien was back, pretending everything was normal, approaching me as he always did.
07:51I flinched away.
07:52His late return, Lila's name in his phone, his fake tenderness made every touch sickening.
07:57After midnight, his phone vibrated.
08:00I'm coming, darling.
08:01Don't cry.
08:02He swung his legs off the bed, no longer caring about my sleep.
08:06Barefoot, I followed him silently, like a shadow.
08:09Lila's door was ajar, warm light spilling from within.
08:17She lay on the bed, hair disheveled, tears glistening.
08:20Her nightgown slipped from one shoulder.
08:23The moment Damien saw her, his face softened.
08:25All his hidden tenderness pouring out.
08:28I'm here for you.
08:29I can't sleep without you.
08:30I wake up trembling, afraid.
08:32I'll protect you.
08:33I'll stay with you tonight.
08:35Lila feigned guilt.
08:36But I took you away from Vivian.
08:38The baby is restless, only you can calm him.
08:40Don't worry about her.
08:41She's strong.
08:42She can take care of herself.
08:44I stood frozen, listening to them talk about me as if I were just a nuisance.
08:48The doctor said the baby is stable.
08:51Tonight, let me take care of you.
08:53Damien kissed her hungrily.
08:55The door closed, followed by a grating sound etched into my heart, unforgettable.
08:59I returned to bed, curling up and holding my belly tight.
09:02This was the only thing that felt truly mine.
09:05Damien didn't come back all night.
09:06I stared at the ceiling until dawn.
09:08The emptiness beside me reminded me of the choice he had made.
09:13By sunrise, I was packed, quiet, final.
09:16Rolling my suitcase downstairs, I found Damien.
09:19In the kitchen, spoon-feeding Lila soup like she was a princess.
09:22He looked warm, patient, everything he hadn't been for me.
09:26I walked past them.
09:27Lila didn't feel well, so I made her tomato soup.
09:30What are you doing?
09:31I cook her soup, and you throw a fit?
09:34You're petty.
09:40It's just soup.
09:41Check your neck before lying.
09:43Mosquitoes.
09:44My silence enraged him.
09:46Enough.
09:47Stop acting jealous and crazy.
09:49I stumbled back, hand flying to my belly.
09:52Regret crossed his face for a split second.
09:54Damien, it's my fault.
09:56Let me apologize.
09:57She held out the soup bowl, lipstick smudged on the rim.
10:00Back off.
10:00She stepped closer, forcing the bowl toward me.
10:03Something snapped.
10:04I knocked it away.
10:05Damien, it burns.
10:06She held out her hand, a faint pink mark on her skin.
10:09I've got you.
10:10Didn't I tell you to be considerate?
10:12You attacked her.
10:13I'm not apologizing, I said, pulling back.
10:16No.
10:17You're gonna learn.
10:18He shoved my hand into the hot soup pot.
10:20White hot pain erupted.
10:22I screamed, tears blurring my vision.
10:24That's a warning.
10:25Hurt her again, and you'll regret it.
10:27My baby kicked frantically, sensing my fear.
10:30Damien hesitated.
10:31Then Lila cried out, and he snapped back to her.
10:34I fell hard.
10:35A sharp cramp tore through my lower belly.
10:37Warmth spread between my thighs, blood.
10:39Damien, the baby.
10:41Don't use the baby to manipulate me.
10:43You hurt Lila.
10:44You and that kid don't matter as much as her.
10:47He scooped Lila up and ran out, leaving me alone.
10:49I lay on the floor, shaking, bleeding, burned.
10:52I grabbed my phone with my good hand and dialed 911.
10:57Harsh hospital lights stabbed my eyes.
10:59Nurses pushed my gurney down the corridor.
11:02Get OB here.
11:03Possible placental abruption.
11:04We need a doctor now.
11:06Honey, we need your husband to sign consent forms.
11:09The phone rang.
11:10Unanswered.
11:11Again.
11:12Again.
11:12On the third call, it went to voicemail.
11:15Tear slipped.
11:16Of course he didn't answer.
11:17He was with Lila.
11:18He always chose her.
11:20Do you have anyone else?
11:21Parents?
11:22A friend?
11:22I reached for the clipboard.
11:24I'll sign.
11:25My fingers shook, but I scrawled my name.
11:27I'd stop begging men to be decent.
11:29They wheeled me to labor and delivery.
11:31Minutes passed.
11:32No doctor came.
11:34Why are we waiting?
11:35A Kincaid VIP arrived.
11:37His pregnant girlfriend has a minor burn.
11:39He pulled the on-call team.
11:41Even OB staff.
11:42The words hit like a punch.
11:44I was his wife.
11:45Bleeding.
11:46Dying.
11:47And Lila got the whole hospital.
11:49Pain convulsed through me.
11:50My vision darkened.
11:52I tried.
11:52God, I tried.
11:53Right before blacking out, I heard a scream.
11:55We're losing her.
11:56Get in here.
11:57When I woke, I reached for my belly.
11:59Flat.
11:59Panic surged.
12:00My baby?
12:01A nurse hurried in, carrying a tiny bundle.
12:04She placed him in my arms.
12:06Warm.
12:07Real.
12:07Breathing.
12:08I clung to him, sobbing.
12:09I promised never to let anyone treat us like we were disposable.
12:13Two weeks later, I stood in the airport, baby on my shoulder, passport in my bag.
12:17I'd signed the final papers.
12:19A screen flashed a headline.
12:21Damien Kincaid, fights for his pregnant lover.
12:24Private doctors, security, romance packaged as a circus.
12:27I didn't blink.
12:29I boarded the plane, never looking back.
12:30He was about to learn I was already gone.
12:34After Damien took Lila to the ER, my voice kept echoing in his mind.
12:38He was about to contact me until Lila cried,
12:41Damien, I'm in so much pain.
12:43My stomach hurts.
12:44Is the baby okay?
12:45I tried to apologize to Vivian, but she lost control.
12:48Damien's face stiffened.
12:49I did spoil her.
12:51But she's carrying my child.
12:53I can't.
12:54Damien reached for his phone.
12:56Lila noticed.
12:57Darling, Vivian has been texting me.
12:59She threatened to kill my baby.
13:01Vivian isn't like that.
13:02Are you sure you saw it right?
13:04Lila showed him her phone.
13:06Damien stared at the screen.
13:07His face grew darker.
13:08He was ready to believe the worst.
13:10I will protect you.
13:11If she goes too far, I'll kick her out.
13:14They stayed in the hospital for a week.
13:16The doctors found nothing wrong with Lila.
13:18But Lila reveled in the joy of being cared for.
13:21Damien returned home expecting me to be there, sulking, waiting for him to coax me.
13:26However, the house was empty.
13:27He sighed, thinking I had just gone out for a walk and would soon return.
13:31A month passed.
13:32I never returned.
13:33Fear crept in.
13:34What if I was dying then?
13:36He went to the police station, providing my name and photo.
13:39He told them everything he knew.
13:41He even rehearsed in his mind how he would scold me.
13:44Mr. Kincaid, your marriage with Ms. Langford has been legally dissolved.
13:48You cannot file a missing person report.
13:51Damien was utterly shocked.
13:54What did you say?
13:55You are divorced.
13:57You have no right to inquire about her whereabouts.
14:00Impossible.
14:01I've never been divorced.
14:02The officer prints the documents.
14:04He gripped the papers, knuckles white.
14:06He slumped on the sofa, memories flooding back.
14:09Vivian's smile, her tenderness for him.
14:12And the child he once desired.
14:13He looked around.
14:15This house was no longer hers.
14:16Within a month, Lila erased all traces.
14:19No photos of her, no decorations she chose.
14:21No shared furniture, wedding photos gone.
14:23Lila walked in, turning on the light.
14:25She snatched the papers, scanning quickly.
14:28Her lips curved, then she hid it.
14:30Damien, how did you and Vivian divorce?
14:32Her eyes gleamed, filled with greed.
14:34Damien saw it clearly, all too clear.
14:36The nursery is now her space.
14:38It's filled with her belongings.
14:40Her belongings were tossed like trash.
14:44The police made a mistake, repeating it, like a mantra.
14:48If you're divorced, why don't we get married?
14:50Make it official.
14:51I just said I'm not divorced.
14:53Why are you pushing this?
14:54I'm not trying to steal anything.
14:56I just want our baby to have a father.
14:58It hurts.
14:59Please take me to the hospital.
15:00It worked.
15:01Damien carried her back, hovering like he was proving he wasn't the villain.
15:05Lila sipped creamy mushroom soup, convinced she'd reined him in.
15:09Then Damien stepped out and called Logan.
15:11I want a full report on Lila.
15:13Everything.
15:14Pull all the cameras, house, street, everything.
15:17He'd never planned to investigate her.
15:19But her eagerness for marriage had raised flags.
15:22For so long she'd acted selfless.
15:24Just wanting to stay by his side.
15:26And he'd eaten it up, needing to feel like a hero.
15:29Not a cheater.
15:30Now that selflessness felt like strategy.
15:32Damien admitted it to himself.
15:34He couldn't explain how he'd gotten here.
15:36He'd told himself he was helping Lila.
15:38Out of gratitude.
15:39Then one night, too much alcohol.
15:41Secret, a pregnancy.
15:43And Lila's tears had convinced him.
15:45He could manage it all.
15:46Because he thought I'd forgive anything.
15:48I'd been four months pregnant then.
15:50Feeling our baby's first flutters.
15:52Still protecting his pride.
15:53My softness had given him permission.
15:56To choose Lila again and again.
15:58Now regret settled in his chest.
16:00He'd mistaken my love for a guarantee.
16:04A commotion came from Lila's room.
16:06Damien found her on the window ledge, tears streaming.
16:09I can't let our baby be a secret.
16:11I'll take him and disappear.
16:13So you can find Vivian with a clear conscience.
16:21Lila, stop.
16:23What, let our baby be born without a father?
16:25That day in the fire and I don't regret saving you.
16:27But I can't let our baby suffer.
16:34Okay, I'll handle it.
16:37The baby won't be a secret.
16:43You're already divorced.
16:45The baby's due soon.
16:46Are you gonna let him be born into nothing?
16:53I'll marry you.
17:00England, my plane has landed.
17:02Holding my baby, new life awaits.
17:04Cold, fresh air.
17:05No more betrayal.
17:06Dad, Mom.
17:08Slow down.
17:08You have the baby.
17:10I'm here.
17:10You are home.
17:11You suffered.
17:12It's over.
17:13We support you.
17:14Damien won't leave you in peace.
17:16He thrives on others' pain.
17:18This is a Lanford.
17:19No Kincaid money.
17:21He is the Lanford heir.
17:22I declare it.
17:23Driving away, I swore to myself.
17:25I no longer crave love.
17:27Years of silent compromise.
17:29That fire, you saved him.
17:30No thanks.
17:31Your scars.
17:32I wanted to tear the world.
17:33I gaze out, throat tight.
17:35Some wounds don't heal quietly.
17:37Some pains won't wait.
17:39Damien stood there.
17:40I can't.
17:40I can't.
17:43I can't.
17:44I can't.
17:45Tired, Damien brought Lila back home.
17:47She reverted to her old ways, acting imperiously.
17:50Darling, I'm hungry.
17:52Make me cream of mushroom soup again.
17:54Damien stared at her, his eyes weary.
17:56Her hysteria in the hospital was all in act.
17:59I'm exhausted.
18:00Not tonight.
18:01Lila pouted, her eyes welling up.
18:03Don't you care about me anymore?
18:04I should have jumped from the hospital.
18:07She ran upstairs crying sacrifice.
18:09Damien rubbed his temples.
18:11He had never been so threatened and manipulated.
18:13Enough.
18:14Come down.
18:15I'll make the soup.
18:21He made the soup as if atoning.
18:28After the soup was ready, Lila smiled.
18:31Feed me like you used to.
18:32Damien looked at the spoon, his mind racing.
18:34He only felt weariness.
18:36No.
18:37And Lila ate furiously.
18:39Disgust welled up in him.
18:41Lila's true colors sobered him.
18:43He remembered Vivian's tenderness.
18:45He had so easily given up that love.
18:49Lila kept urging on the wedding plans.
18:51Damien finally conceded.
18:58He stood there watching Lila weave through the racks.
19:01Vivian's image instantly flooded his mind.
19:03How do I look?
19:04Is your girl pretty?
19:05Damien's gaze froze.
19:07Her back was smooth and unblemished.
19:08No scars, no burn marks.
19:10If Lila hadn't saved him from the fire.
19:12Then what exactly had he destroyed?
19:14To repay a debt that wasn't hers?
19:16He forced a smile.
19:17He drove her back to the manor.
19:24Logan arrived, hesitation in his eyes.
19:26He brought the investigation results.
19:33Where are you going?
19:34Work.
19:35Go shopping.
19:41The moment he turned, his expression froze.
19:43The truth is about to be revealed.
19:47I didn't watch Damien fall apart.
19:49In real time, I saw it later.
19:51Through paper trails, Logan's reports, security footage, the first crack, came when Logan handed him the file.
20:08Divorce papers, real, legal, his signature bold at the bottom.
20:17Then he saw the last page.
20:19My cancer diagnosis.
20:20Damien froze.
20:21He remembered the hospital.
20:23Me shoving the report at him.
20:25Him tearing it up because Lila was crying.
20:27He sank to the floor.
20:29How does Vivian have cancer?
20:31He grabbed the USB drive.
20:32From Logan jamming it into the computer.
20:35My face appeared.
20:36On screen.
20:37He watched us at the prenatal clinic.
20:39Him and Lila smiling.
20:41Me standing silent, pale.
20:42He watched Lila bait me.
20:44Watched himself choose her.
20:46Watched me pull out the cancer.
20:47Report.
20:48Watched himself tear.
20:49It to pieces.
20:51Tears ran down his face.
20:52Consequences not romance.
20:54Next clip, the Kincaid estate.
20:56My fear, Lila's smugness.
20:58Blood spreading beneath me.
20:59As he walked away.
21:00He clutched his head.
21:02Replaying it until he collapsed.
21:04Unconscious, muttering my name.
21:05Logan rushed him to the hospital.
21:08Lila was left screaming his name.
21:10Ignored for the first time.
21:13Lila found the scattered documents.
21:15In Damien's office.
21:17When she saw my cancer report.
21:19Her mouth curled with satisfaction.
21:21She'd suspected it.
21:22My hollow cheeks.
21:23My exhaustion.
21:24My slow movements.
21:25Damien had been too arrogant to notice.
21:28Lila wasn't chasing love.
21:29She was chasing a crown.
21:31She'd checked my hospital records.
21:33Taunted me to see how close I was to breaking.
21:35She loved watching me crumble.
21:37Hated that I refused to give her the reaction she wanted.
21:40Divorcing me the right way would take time.
21:42And she didn't have it.
21:43She wanted the Kincaid name for her baby.
21:46No loose ends.
21:47And she knew her leverage was a lie.
21:49The life-saving debt.
21:50She needed to secure her prize.
21:52Before the lie collapsed.
21:54The day she framed me.
21:55She saw the blood.
21:56Heard me call Damien's name.
21:58She panicked.
21:59Not for me but that he'd turn back.
22:01So she clung to him.
22:03Dragged him to the hospital.
22:04Made herself the emergency.
22:06Then she'd taken his phone.
22:07Blocking the hospital number.
22:09After the third call.
22:10She smiled.
22:11Thinking she'd won.
22:14Lila thought I was out.
22:15Hearing of our divorce she relaxed.
22:17The title Mrs. Kincaid was hers she thought.
22:25She forced Damien to marry her in court.
22:28He broke down.
22:29She escalated threatening self-harm.
22:31You owe me.
22:32Until he agreed.
22:33Then files, videos, Damien's breakdown.
22:36Her lies exposed.
22:37She tore up the documents.
22:48Packing luxury items.
22:50Slipping away quietly.
22:56In the hospital Damien awoke.
22:58Staring at the ceiling.
23:05The smell of disinfectant triggered his memories.
23:07He learned I pawned the jade.
23:09Just to speed up divorce.
23:11This was proof of my desperation.
23:13He finally understood.
23:14Lila never saved him.
23:15He grabbed Logan.
23:16Find Vivian now.
23:18At all costs.
23:19Bring her back.
23:20She has cancer.
23:21She has my child.
23:23Lock Lila up.
23:23No escape.
23:24No tricks.
23:25Logan was stunned.
23:26Go now.
23:39Logan returned out of breath.
23:41Lila fled.
23:42Closet empty.
23:43A note.
23:44She thinks she can escape?
23:46Forget her.
23:47Find Vivian in three days.
23:49Or else.
23:55Next day, Damien had an address.
24:15Good night, Damien.
24:15Bye.
24:15Bye.
24:18Bye.
24:19Bye.
24:20Bye.
24:21Bye.
