02:00I wasn't about to walk away and hand this to Vanessa on a plate. Everyone assumed I was the one
02:06who pressured Derek into marrying me. The truth was the exact opposite.
09:27All I did was play a few door games at the pick-up this morning.
09:30Vanessa's the one who walked through the whole thing with you.
09:34I've said it a hundred times.
09:36She was filling in for you.
09:39You are my bride.
09:42I don't need someone to fill in for me at my own wedding.
09:46Then what exactly are you saying?
09:47Isn't it obvious? We're done.
09:50I'm grateful to you, Derek.
09:51If you hadn't kept insisting we wait until after the ceremony to file the paperwork,
09:55I never would have had the chance to choose someone else.
09:57I wish you and Vanessa all the happiness in the world.
10:02This is our gift to you both.
10:04There's barely anything in here.
10:06That's about what you're worth.
10:13Marcus, I did everything for her.
10:15And she's calling me trash to my face?
10:18Sophie, there are guests everywhere.
10:20And your own family is sitting right here.
10:23This is not the time for a tantrum.
10:24My parents are gone.
10:27As for friends,
10:28you were the one who pushed me to invite them.
10:31Said a wedding needed a crowd.
10:33If they saw a little drama, fine.
10:35I'm never going to see any of them again anyway.
10:37Sophie!
10:39This didn't have to turn into this.
10:41I'm giving you one last chance.
10:44Apologize to Vanessa.
10:47I'll act like none of this happened.
10:48Otherwise, don't come back to the apartment tonight.
10:50Because I need to seriously think about where we stand.
10:54Even if you invited me back, I wouldn't go.
10:56Although I do need to stop by and pick up my things.
10:59Everything I bought stays with me.
11:01You don't have a problem with that, do you?
11:03Okay.
11:04I'm done here.
11:12Sophie!
11:13You want to embarrass me in front of everyone?
11:15Is that it?
11:20Marcus!
11:21Marcus!
11:22Leave Sophie alone!
11:23The more attention you give her, the worse she acts.
11:27Come back inside and finish the reception.
11:29There are still tables to get to.
11:47He went back for her.
11:51Noah drove me to the apartment Derek and I had shared.
11:54I didn't say much.
11:57I just started packing.
11:58Everything I had bought, I took.
12:01What I couldn't carry, I broke.
12:03The idea of Derek and Vanessa living here among my things made me feel sick.
12:08I would rather destroy it.
12:09When I was done, I stood in the doorway and looked at the place one last time.
12:14I had imagined a life here.
12:16Children.
12:17Growing old together.
12:19All of it had dissolved into nothing.
12:22Before I left, I transferred back every dollar of the settlement Derek had given me.
12:29Then I blocked him everywhere.
12:34Stop looking back.
12:35This place has bad energy.
12:36We'll find somewhere better.
12:37Actually, there's a new development opening tomorrow on the lakefront.
12:40We could go look.
12:42Okay.
12:52Tonight, can I stay at yours?
12:57We're legally married.
12:58We're supposed to be living together.
13:00I know you're only asking because you need somewhere to get away from Derek, but I'm still very happy about
13:04it.
13:04I couldn't quite look at him.
13:06We had known each other for over 20 years.
13:09Had been in and out of each other's lives for basically all of them.
13:17Why don't you shower first?
13:18I'll go after.
13:20Okay.
13:21I hid in the bathroom for a long time, giving myself a quiet talk.
13:25We had already filed the paperwork.
13:27We were husband and wife.
13:29There was nothing strange about this.
13:31I came out.
13:32I went to the bedroom.
13:33I waited.
13:38We let the night take its course the way it naturally does between two people who are now legally and
13:48officially married.
13:56I had underestimated him.
13:59Not just the face, which had always been unfairly good.
14:04The rest of him, too.
14:08And in that particular area, he was in a completely different category from Derek.
14:14I was very satisfied.
14:20The next morning after breakfast, Noah drove me out to the lakefront development.
14:25We walked through one of the newly finished estates and loved it immediately.
14:32We were about to sign when someone called out.
14:35Sophie!
14:37I finally found you.
14:38Last night I went back to the apartment and all your things were gone.
14:42You sent back every cent I gave you.
14:45I tried calling, but you'd block me everywhere.
14:49I went to your place.
14:50You weren't there.
14:52Someone told me they saw you out here this morning and I came straight over.
14:56Sophie, I thought about everything last night.
15:01The ceremony got away from me.
15:02I'll admit that.
15:04You had every right to be upset.
15:06You can be as angry as you want.
15:11Just don't stop talking to me.
15:13We're supposed to be husband and wife.
15:16You don't hold a grudge overnight.
15:18Come home.
15:19Let me make this right.
15:21I'll give you a proper wedding.
15:23The one you deserved.
15:26This time, I'll do everything right.
15:30Derek, you do understand I am not solling, right?
15:33Don't say things you don't mean, Sophie.
15:36Eight years.
15:37You can't just walk away from eight years.
15:40So that's what you think.
15:41Eight years in and you figured no matter what you did to me, I'd never actually leave.
15:47I wasn't doing anything to you.
15:51Vanessa just stood in for the ceremony.
15:54Nothing happened between us.
15:56Nothing happened.
15:57I pulled out my phone and found the live stream clip.
16:03You kissed her in front of everyone.
16:06On camera, with a close-up.
16:10You want to explain that?
16:14That was...
16:15The moment carried me.
16:17The atmosphere.
16:18Everyone watching.
16:19It just...
16:20It just...
16:20I'm telling you the truth.
16:23Yesterday was a mistake.
16:25I don't have feelings for Vanessa.
16:27I'm done listening.
16:29My husband and I are buying a home.
16:31Please don't interrupt us.
16:33Husband.
16:35You mean Noah?
16:36You two have been friends your whole lives.
16:39Nothing ever happened in 20 plus years.
16:41And now after one day, he's suddenly your husband?
16:49That's right.
16:52You're not serious.
16:54Honey, did you bring the certificate?
16:57Open your eyes.
16:59Am I her legal husband or am I not?
17:02You actually filed.
17:04You genuinely filed with him?
17:09I told you yesterday.
17:11We're legal.
17:14Sophie, how could you be this reckless?
17:16A marriage license is not something you just sign on a whim.
17:19How could you do this without thinking about how I'd feel?
17:23Why would I think about your feelings?
17:26Do I need your permission to get married?
17:28Did you think about my feelings when you were kissing Vanessa on that stage?
17:35Sophie, this is done.
17:36It's a fact.
17:37I'm not going to fight about it.
17:38But you need to go file for divorce.
17:41Immediately.
17:42We can wipe the slate clean.
17:43We start over.
17:45We get our license first.
17:46Then we plan a real wedding.
17:48Are you actually slow?
17:50Can you not understand plain English?
17:53My wife is done with you.
17:56She is my legal wife.
17:59If you come near her again,
18:01I will not be responsible for what happens next.
18:04Get out of my face!
18:06Who do you think you are?
18:09Sophie doesn't love you.
18:11She never did.
18:13She did this to get back at me.
18:15You actually think she has feelings for you?
18:17Whether she loved you before is not my concern.
18:22Right now,
18:23her heart belongs to me.
18:26Only me.
18:28You think you can take my woman from me?
18:30You better be ready for what comes with that.
18:44I will destroy you.
18:47I will have my lawyers on you by tonight.
18:49You will be finished in this city.
18:53Marcus, what happened to you?
18:54Who did this?
18:55I want him sued.
18:56I want him ruined.
19:00Are you okay?
19:02I'm fine.
19:05A marriage license is not something you just sign on a whim.
19:11I told you not to come after Sophie.
19:14She's still angry.
19:16Nothing you say is going to land right now.
19:18Come back with me.
19:20Give her a few months to cool down
19:21and she'll probably come looking for you herself.
19:24By the time a few months pass,
19:27Sophie's going to be pregnant!
19:34Sophie,
19:35you're really doing this with him?
19:36He works for a salary.
19:38What can he actually give you?
19:41You're standing here looking at these estates right now.
19:47You think he can afford this?
19:49Even if he somehow scrapes it together,
19:53you'll be paying off a mortgage for the rest of your lives.
19:58I'll buy you this place.
20:00The whole development.
20:04Just say the word.
20:06Bold offer, Derek.
20:09The full lakefront development.
20:13That's north of a hundred million dollars.
20:15Can you actually write that check?
20:17I don't have a hundred million,
20:20but I've got a hundred times more than that.
20:22If you can afford one bathroom in this building,
20:25I'll change my last name to yours.
20:28Then I guess you'd better start going by Noah Caldwell.
20:31Don't make me laugh.
20:33Do you know who developed this property?
20:35The Caldwell Group, obviously.
20:38What, are you about to tell me you're the Caldwell heir?
20:41Because if that's true,
20:42I'll get on my knees right now.
20:47Remember you said that.
20:48Noah called over the estate manager.
20:51This gentleman is interested in buying the full development.
20:54Please walk him through the payment process.
20:56Right this way, sir.
20:59Hold on.
21:01Just because you tell him to take me somewhere
21:02doesn't mean I go.
21:04How do I know this isn't some sales trick?
21:07I'm not buying anything.
21:09I'm not that easy to con.
21:11Fine.
21:12No pressure.
21:13Our properties sell themselves.
21:16But if you can't afford it,
21:18just say so.
21:19Walking it back with excuses in front of everyone
21:21is a lot worse.
21:22I can buy it or not buy it.
21:24That's entirely up to me.
21:25Stop trying to change the subject.
21:27You're the one who needs to prove you're the Caldwell heir.
21:30Don't try to flip this around.
21:32Fair enough.
21:33Noah took out his phone and made a call.
21:35Grandpa, are you free?
21:37There's someone here from Zenith Tech
21:39who wants to say hello.
21:40He turned the screen toward Derek.
21:42Derek went rigid.
21:44Sir, Mr. Caldwell,
21:46I'm Derek Walsh.
21:47I run Zenith Tech.
21:48Yes.
21:50Noah's mentioned you.
21:51You were Sophie's fiancée, weren't you?
21:54Not anymore, Grandpa.
21:56Actually, I have good news.
21:57Sophie and I filed yesterday.
21:59She's your granddaughter-in-law now.
22:01Finally.
22:02I've wanted Sophie in this family for years.
22:05I kept waiting for you to do something
22:07and you never moved.
22:08You lost my mind.
22:09I was waiting for the right moment.
22:11Well, she's mine now.
22:13Wonderful.
22:14Bring her home for dinner tonight.
22:15Tell the cook to make everything she likes.
22:18Done.
22:20Noah hung up.
22:21Derek hadn't moved.
22:22You're actually the Caldwell heir?
22:25You want to know how Zenith Tech
22:26landed all those contracts
22:28with the Caldwell Group?
22:29Sophie.
22:31Every single one of those deals
22:32came through because of her.
22:34Without that connection,
22:35you wouldn't have even made the bid list.
22:36Now, I believe you promised
22:38to get on your knees.
22:40Derek was sweating.
22:41Kneeling meant humiliation.
22:43Not kneeling meant he'd broken his word
22:45in front of everyone.
22:46And Noah was no longer someone
22:47he could afford to cross.
22:49He had no move left.
22:50He dropped down
22:51and touched his forehead to the floor.
22:53I didn't even bother looking.
22:55Oh, come with me back to the office.
22:57I need to hand in my resignation
22:58and clean out my desk.
22:59You're quitting just to get away from me?
23:02I never liked that job.
23:04The only reason I stayed so long
23:05was because you said
23:06you wanted to see me every day.
23:08I have a finance degree.
23:09I spent eight years
23:10doing admin work for you.
23:12My husband is worth more money
23:13than I could spend in three lifetimes.
23:15I think I've earned the right
23:15to just go home and live well.
23:17Haven't I, honey?
23:19Everything I have is yours.
23:20Let's go.
23:23Noah drove me to the office.
23:25I wrote my resignation
23:26in about two minutes.
23:27I printed it
23:28and dropped it on Derek's desk.
23:30I quit.
23:31I'm not approving this.
23:32Approve it or don't.
23:34I'll walk either way.
23:35You can keep this month's paycheck.
23:38The women from my office
23:39who had filmed me at the wedding
23:40were craning their necks
23:41from across the floor.
23:42Can you send me the videos
23:43you took yesterday?
23:44I'd like to have them.
23:45They looked at each other.
23:47I just want the footage.
23:49I'm not here to make trouble.
23:50They hesitated.
23:51Then send the files through.
23:53I was almost out the door
23:54when I ran into Derek's mother
23:55and sister on the steps.
23:56Sophie,
23:57you've made your point.
23:58It's time to come home.
23:59His sister and I
24:00haven't slept properly
24:01in two days.
24:02That's because there's nobody
24:03cooking for you anymore.
24:04Don't worry.
24:05Vanessa can take over.
24:06She's part of the family now.
24:07That's completely different.
24:09She's just his secretary.
24:11You're the daughter-in-law
24:12I chose.
24:14You're the only one
24:16I recognize.
24:17You recognize me
24:18because my family
24:19left me money
24:19and I've been useful to Derek.
24:21You wanted to drain
24:22every resource I had.
24:24Sophie,
24:24we came to find you ourselves
24:26because we care about you.
24:28Don't be ungrateful.
24:30I'm not interested
24:31in that kind of family.
24:33Go find Vanessa.
24:34I pushed past his sister
24:36and walked out
24:36without looking back.
24:37That night,
24:38a friend forwarded me a link.
24:40Sophie,
24:41someone's spreading rumors
24:42about you online.
24:43You need to see this.
24:44I opened the video.
24:45It was posted
24:46from an anonymous account.
24:47The faces were blurred,
24:49but barely.
24:49Anyone who knew us
24:50would recognize me immediately.
24:51Bride caught with her childhood friend
24:53on the wedding day.
24:54Groom discovers bride
24:55wearing the friend's clothes.
24:56Groom calls off the wedding
24:57and marries his own secretary instead.
24:59The comments were a wall of filth.
25:00This bride has absolutely no shame.
25:03She was already rolling around
25:04with some other guy
25:05and she was about to get married.
25:06She clearly has no self-control.
25:09Her parents must have raised
25:10a real piece of work.
25:11The groom and the secretary
25:12are perfect together.
25:13This woman never deserved
25:14to marry into money.
25:15Mixed in were comments
25:16praising Derek and Vanessa,
25:17wishing them well,
25:19calling them destined for each other.
25:21I read all of it and smiled.
25:23I had known Vanessa
25:24would use the image
25:25of me in Noah's clothes
25:26and spin it into something ugly.
25:28I had planned for exactly that.
25:31I uploaded the footage
25:33the office women had sent me.
25:35Then I posted my own statement.
25:37Hi, I'm the bride in that video.
25:40Here's what actually happened.
25:42On the morning of my own wedding,
25:43my fiance told me
25:44I couldn't ride in the bridal car.
25:46He drove to the venue with her
25:47while I had to find my own way.
25:57While I was stuck at the scene,
25:59my fiance used my absence
26:00as a reason to have Vanessa
26:02walk through the entire ceremony
26:03in my place,
26:04in my dress.
26:05I ended the engagement.
26:07I take full legal responsibility
26:09for everything I've just said.
26:11I will also be filing
26:12a defamation lawsuit
26:13against the person
26:14who posted the original video.
26:16I attached the full evidence,
26:18every message,
26:20every video of Derek's proposals,
26:22everything that showed
26:23I had never pressured anyone
26:25into anything.
26:27The comments flipped overnight.
26:29Car sick and you need the bridal car?
26:30What's next?
26:31Does she need the hearse
26:32at a funeral too?
26:32The groom and the secretary
26:33have clearly been involved
26:34for a long time.
26:35That kiss wasn't a mistake.
26:36His mother and sister
26:37just went along with it.
26:38That whole family is rotten.
26:39The fact that they went online
26:40and slandered her
26:40after everything they put her through.
26:41These people are vile.
26:42The internet found Derek
26:43and Vanessa's identities
26:44within hours.
26:45Their company address was public.
26:48Outraged people posted everywhere.
26:50Business partners saw the headlines
26:52and started pulling out of deals.
26:54Terminated its contracts
26:55with Zenith Tech
26:56and made clear
26:57they would not be working
26:58with Derek
26:59within days.
27:01Zenith Tech collapsed.
27:03I filed my lawsuit.
27:06Defamation.
27:07Vanessa's name
27:08on every document.
27:11The next time I saw Derek
27:12he looked like a different person.
27:15Hollow eyes.
27:16Too thin.
27:18His sister was behind him.
27:20No trace of the confidence
27:22she used to carry everywhere.
27:25Sophie.
27:26I owe you an apology.
27:28I looked into it.
27:29The woman who drove into your car
27:31was Vanessa's friend.
27:32I was manipulated.
27:34I've let her go.
27:36I came to say I'm sorry.
27:38Properly.
27:39And I'm asking you
27:40given everything we meant
27:41to each other
27:41to ask Noah to help me.
27:43Our mom collapsed
27:44when the company went under.
27:45She's in the hospital right now
27:47on oxygen.
27:48She was always fond of you.
27:49Please.
27:50For her sake.
27:51Talk to Noah.
27:51We almost became family.
27:54You can't watch us
27:55end up like this.
27:57Why can't I?
28:01You brought this on yourselves.
28:03If you hadn't posted that slander
28:05none of this would have gone public.
28:07You fired the first shot.
28:10When it ends
28:11is my decision.
28:13You want mom to die.
28:15Is that it?
28:17She's in a hospital bed right now.
28:20She can't take any more of this.
28:22She's not in that bed
28:23because of me.
28:24She's there because of choices
28:26you made.
28:27You knew what you were doing Derek.
28:29You hurt me the way you did
28:30because you were sure
28:31I'd never fight back.
28:32You were wrong.
28:33I'm not the kind of woman
28:35who loses herself for a man.
28:37When you were loyal to me
28:38I loved you.
28:39You stopped being loyal
28:40so I stopped loving you.
28:42I only let Vanessa stand in
28:43for the ceremony.
28:45Only.
28:45I took out my phone
28:47and pulled up the photographs
28:48my investigator had sent.
28:50I handed them over.
28:51You were seeing her
28:52the entire time we were together.
28:53You got her pregnant.
28:55Derek had nothing left to say.
28:57He sank to his knees
28:59in front of me
28:59and started crying.
29:01I'm so sorry Sophie.
29:02I'm so sorry.
29:04I was wrong
29:05but I love you.
29:07I've always loved you.
29:08Not her.
29:09Derek
29:10You make me sick.
29:12I nodded to security.
29:13They escorted him
29:14and his sister out.
29:16His sister was still calling my name
29:18as they went through the doors.
29:19I didn't turn around.
29:21Zenith Tech dissolved completely.
29:24Derek was left carrying
29:25significant personal debt.
29:27Vanessa was found guilty
29:29of defamation
29:30and sentenced to three years.
29:32And on that same day
29:33I received the best news
29:35I'd had in a long time.
29:37I was pregnant.
29:39The ugliness was behind me now.
29:41The people who had caused it
29:42had found their way
29:43to exactly where they deserved to be.
29:46All I was thinking about
29:47was the small life
29:48beginning inside me.
