Short filmTranscript
00:00For all these years since my marriage to Carmine, I've had complete freedom to browse his tablet, phone, and computer
00:06at will.
00:06But today, that privilege has expired.
00:08The Carmine Vitale tablet froze, and I entered the wedding anniversary date three times in a row, only to see
00:14an error message each time.
00:16I had no choice but to call him.
00:18Carmine, take your tablet in for repairs tomorrow.
00:21Mrs. Vitale?
00:23I'm sorry, but I accidentally changed the password to my birthday while gaming in Mr. Vitale's office yesterday.
00:28I could clearly hear Carmine's deep laugh.
00:32Carmen, I've changed your tablet password.
00:35There shouldn't be any problem, right?
00:37Carmine Vitale is a man with an almost obsessive cleanliness obsession and a rigid sense of boundaries.
00:43I was the only exception.
00:45I was silent for two seconds.
00:47I took out a pre-signed divorce agreement and placed it in the most conspicuous spot on the living room
00:53table.
00:53Last week, Chelsea was seen holding Carmine's arm at the company annual meeting.
00:57That evening, when he came back.
01:01As usual, he approached to embrace me, but I sidestepped, raised my chin, and gestured for him to check the
01:08agreement on the table.
01:11Carmine's smile vanished instantly.
01:14He picked up the agreement, glanced at it, and then in front of him, poured into pieces.
01:21You really want to leave me like this?
01:25Do you think Chelsea is just an ordinary specialist into me?
01:28Releasing his hand, I took out the second, third, and fourth divorce agreements from my bag and laid them all
01:35out before him.
01:36Seventeen copies.
01:37Tear one up, and I'll provide another until you sign.
01:40The silence in the living room was suffocating as Carmine and I faced off.
01:45He knows my temper.
01:46I've never been able to look the other way.
01:48On our wedding night, I made it clear.
01:49If he ever fell for someone else, I'd step aside.
01:52No drama, no clinging.
01:54Back then, he held me so tight, it felt like he wanted us to become one person.
01:58He said we were a perfect match, that even without love, we could grow old together.
02:03For five years, we were the couple everyone envied.
02:06Our family's business empire was booming, and our connection was undeniable.
02:10Three months ago, on his birthday...
02:13Carmine, I want a baby.
02:14Even now, that moment is burned into my memory.
02:18Are you sure, Fiona?
02:18A sudden light flickered in the depths of Carmine's dark, narrow eyes.
02:22A split second before I drifted off into total exhaustion,
02:25I felt something warm and wet drop onto my face.
02:30Carmine's voice was low, a gentle rumble against my ear.
02:34Fiona, thank you.
02:37I forced myself to snap out of the memories.
02:39I pushed down the bitterness and looked him in the eye.
02:43Carmine, I want a divorce.
02:45Minutes of silence passed.
02:47He said nothing.
02:48I can't stand the silent treatment.
02:50So I went upstairs and packed my bags.
02:52When I tried to leave 30 minutes later, he finally blocked the door.
02:57Fiona Moore, you're divorcing me over something this small?
03:00It had been years since he used my full name.
03:03Yes.
03:04He frowned, probably remembering the baby in my belly, and his voice softened.
03:09Fiona, I can explain.
03:11The girl wrote a proposal that the board approved.
03:14She didn't want a bonus.
03:15She just mentioned she hadn't played games in a while and asked to use my tablet for a few rounds.
03:20I let her.
03:21The passcode is back to what it was, Fiona.
03:23It was a minor lapse in judgment.
03:25I've already reprimanded her, and she's well aware of her mistake.
03:29She even offered to apologize to you in person.
03:32Be the bigger person here.
03:34Don't make life difficult for a fresh grad.
03:36I give you my word from now on I won't have any contact with her outside of what's strictly necessary.
03:40Carmine, you're already defending her?
03:42Is that what you think of me?
03:43That I'm some bitter, jealous wife making a scene over nothing while you two stay innocent?
03:48Fiona, that's not what I meant.
03:50I don't care what you meant.
03:53I'm divorcing you.
03:54As for the baby, I haven't decided yet.
03:57But don't worry.
03:58Even if I have it, I won't use the highs to trap you.
04:01I pushed past him and walked out the front door.
04:04The servant stood frozen, too scared to stop me.
04:06I took a cab back to my parents' house.
04:08My father smoked one cigarette after another.
04:13Fiona, it's not that we want you to stay.
04:15But our family business depends on Carmen.
04:18If you divorce him, he'll pull his funding and everything I've built will collapse overnight.
04:24Carmino treats you so well.
04:26Don't be ungrateful.
04:28Why would you give up your spot and let another woman win?
04:30Even if he does have someone else, you have to deal with it.
04:33There's no such thing as true love in elite families.
04:36You're lucky to be a Vitarre.
04:37It all came down to one word, money.
04:39My father's business was failing, and Carmine had bailed him out multiple times.
04:44So what do you want me to do?
04:46My father crushed his cigarette.
04:48I already messaged Carmilo. He's on his way.
04:50Go back and play nice.
04:52Stop running home and making us look like a joke.
04:55Listen to your father.
04:56Oh, and your brother wants a piece of land from the Vitarre family.
04:59Tell Carmina to make it happen.
05:01The real reason I was just a pawn in this marriage was because I had a brother.
05:05Carmine arrived quickly.
05:06He took my hand and gave my parents a regretful smile.
05:09Dad, Mom, it's my fault. I upset Fiona.
05:12My father immediately ordered the best coffee for him.
05:15My mother rushed to the kitchen.
05:17Suddenly, I was the outsider.
05:18My mother pulled me aside and secretly handed me a small pink bottle.
05:22It's a pheromone booster from Paris.
05:24Use it. Every powerful man wanders, Fiona.
05:27Don't be the wife who loses her throne to a mistress just because she's emotional.
05:31I didn't take the bottle.
05:32Instead, I looked at her like she was a complete stranger.
05:35We share the same blood.
05:37But today, I finally saw who she really was.
05:40When my mother saw that I had no reaction, she forcibly shoved the bottle into my hand.
05:45Meanwhile, my dad was making a show of offering Carmine a bottle of premium whiskey.
05:49Dad, the strong ricker smell would make Flona feel nauseous.
05:54Yes, yes.
05:55I was confused.
05:56The whole situation was utterly absurd.
05:59Who a few days ago spoke to me with a cold demeanor.
06:02After that, Carmine referred me to a psychologist.
06:05Mrs. Vitale, you are experiencing only hormonal fluctuation during pregnancy and emotional sensitivity,
06:10and there is no genuine intention for divorce.
06:13After returning home, Carmine had completely reverted to his former self.
06:17He greeted me morning and evening, personally prepared the soup,
06:21remembered all my preferences, and was so tender that it left me in a daze.
06:27But I can't fool myself.
06:28When I wake up in the middle of the night, his cold gaze suddenly flashes into my mind.
06:33I no longer mention divorce, but remain consistently cold and distant toward him.
06:38He thought I had become more obedient and learned to comply,
06:41but where he could not see, I was quietly making preparations.
06:45I went to the clinic, met the doctor, and told him,
06:49I want to terminate this pregnancy.
06:51In one week, I'm leaving him.
06:54I'm leaving Chicago, and I'm never coming back.
06:57Not for him, and not for my parents.
06:59I'm done with all of them.
07:01I scheduled the procedure for tomorrow, but Carmine is watching me like a hawk.
07:05Even when he goes to the office, he leaves bodyguards to follow me.
07:09I don't know if he's worried about me, or just the baby in my womb.
07:13The next morning, I did something I never did.
07:17I made him breakfast.
07:18He looked shocked.
07:19In all the years we've been married, I've barely touched a stove,
07:23let alone woken up early to cook his favorite meal.
07:27After he finished eating,
07:28I have a checkup at the clinic.
07:29He immediately pulled out his phone.
07:32Push today's meeting to the afternoon.
07:35No, don't cancel it.
07:37Carmine, I'm not a child.
07:39I don't need you or the bodyguards following me around.
07:42Go to your meeting.
07:44I'll call you if I need anything.
07:46Carmine looked down at his tie, then searched my eyes.
07:49He hesitated, but finally, he nodded.
07:52Before I left, Carmine kept repeating the same thing.
07:55Fiona, come home early after your appointment.
08:02Chelsea spent six months' salary on a gift for you.
08:05She's coming over tonight to apologize.
08:07As I lay on the cold operating table,
08:09flashes of our life together blurred past me.
08:11I remembered Carmine pressing his face against my stomach,
08:14trying to hear the baby move.
08:16I remembered him rubbing my swollen legs at night.
08:18And even further back, Carmine carrying me through the snow,
08:21promising me we'd be together forever.
08:24Back then, I asked him, as a joke,
08:26Carmine, after all this time, do you actually love me?
08:30I tried so hard to remember his answer.
08:32Did he say yes? No.
08:33Then, it hid me.
08:35Fiona, I don't know if I'm in love with you,
08:37but I know for sure you are the person I want to spend my life with.
08:40You are the only one.
08:42You are irreplaceable.
08:43Right.
08:43Well, I guess he found a replacement.
08:45Her name is Chelsea.
08:47The procedure was over quickly.
08:48The doctor handed me some pills
08:50and a list of things to watch out for.
08:52And just like that, it was done.
08:53I walked out of the hospital into a heavy snowstorm.
08:57I wrapped my scarf tight
09:01and headed toward the Bentley parked at the curb.
09:03Carmine agreed to call off the bodyguards,
09:05but only if his driver took me.
09:07The driver is an old family employee.
09:09When he opened the door for me,
09:11he hesitated.
09:13Ma'am, you look incredibly pale.
09:15Should I call Mr. Vitami?
09:24Back at the villa, I crashed and slept until 6.30 p.m.
09:28A loud knocking woke me up.
09:30I dragged my exhausted body to the door.
09:32Chelsea, she was holding a massive gift box.
09:35Ma'am, I'm here to apologize.
09:38Mr. Vitami already lectured me.
09:40I promise it won't happen again.
09:42Please forgive me.
09:43I looked her up and down.
09:45The gift box looked cheap.
09:47Probably nothing valuable inside.
09:48Then I noticed her clothes.
09:50She was wearing a custom, handmade outfit
09:53from Nancy, our family's private designer.
09:56No wonder Nancy was too busy
09:58to help me these past two months.
10:00Chelsea noticed me staring.
10:02Oh, this?
10:03Mr. Vitami had this made for me.
10:05He said since I'm his new special assistant,
10:07I need to dress the part.
10:09I could hear the pride in her voice.
10:11But then, a thought hit me.
10:13Maybe she's exactly what I need to speed up this divorce.
10:17I decided to push her buttons.
10:20So what?
10:21You're just an assistant.
10:22I'm the real Mrs. Vitami.
10:25As long as I'm breathing,
10:27you'll never be anything more than a mistress
10:29hiding in the shadows.
10:32Fiona, you have no idea.
10:37Carmine and I have already crossed that line.
10:39He might not be ready to marry me yet,
10:41but give it time.
10:41He'll let me into the family eventually.
10:43What are you so proud of?
10:45Your family name?
10:46Your father's company is already failing.
10:49And your brother?
10:50He's a joke.
10:52He'll bankrupt that business in a week.
10:55Look at you.
10:56A wife in an unloved marriage.
10:58If you weren't carrying his baby,
11:00Carmine wouldn't even look at you
11:02without feeling sick!
11:03She went on and on.
11:05And of course,
11:06I recorded every single word.
11:08She glared at me.
11:09Just when I thought she was out of moves,
11:11she suddenly smirked.
11:14Fiona,
11:15I know you're sick.
11:18Because I was at the hospital today, too.
11:22What's your name?
11:24Chelsea's dark expression vanished in a heartbeat.
11:29Mr. Vitale!
11:30When did you get here?
11:31I was so, so deep in conversation with your wife.
11:34When did you get here?
11:35As for the secret,
11:36why don't you try to guess?
11:38If you get it right,
11:39there's a prize.
11:41I guess.
11:41You went for a checkup today,
11:43saw Fiona there,
11:44and found out she's pregnant.
11:46Ding, ding!
11:47Correct!
11:47Your prize is a free week massages from me.
11:49No charge!
11:50Carmine let out a small laugh,
11:52but then,
11:53his face hardened.
11:54He noticed her eyes were slightly red.
11:55He immediately stepped in front of her,
11:57shielding her with his body.
11:59she's just a young girl with a blunt personality.
12:02If she said something wrong,
12:03you need to be the bigger person and let it go.
12:06Chelsea advanced from behind Carmine.
12:09Mr. Vitale,
12:10you can't say that.
12:12I'm the one who messed up.
12:14Fiona has no obligation to put up with me,
12:16or forgive me.
12:19To me,
12:19the way Chelsea was acting with Carmine
12:21was nothing but straight up flirting.
12:23And Carmine,
12:24he didn't even flinch.
12:25He looked like he'd been used to it for a long time.
12:28Maybe he hadn't even noticed
12:29that Chelsea had crossed every line
12:31he ever set for himself.
12:32That's why they looked so natural together.
12:35Suddenly,
12:36a sharp cramp hit my lower stomach,
12:38and cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
12:41I couldn't stand looking at these two losers
12:44for one more second.
12:46Carmine,
12:47I accept her apology.
12:49Now tell her to get out.
12:51As for you,
12:52go wherever you want.
12:53Sleep with whoever you want.
12:55Just stay the hell away from me.
12:58Mrs. Vitale,
13:00saying that just means
13:01you haven't really forgiven me.
13:04Fiona,
13:05can you just be normal for once?
13:07Chelsea is new to the professional world.
13:09She doesn't know all the office politics.
13:12Can't you just be the bigger person?
13:14See,
13:14it didn't matter what I said.
13:16Carmine would never,
13:17believe me.
13:18I looked at him with nothing but pure disgust.
13:21Get out!
13:23If you don't leave,
13:24right now,
13:25I'm taking a megaphone to your office tomorrow.
13:29I'll tell everyone exactly
13:30what kind of professional relationship
13:32you two really have.
13:34Chelsea,
13:35let's go.
13:35Don't waste your breath on a crazy person.
13:37I laughed so hard,
13:39tears actually started falling.
13:41Carmine,
13:42if I'm crazy,
13:42it's because you're the one
13:43who pushed me over the edge.
13:45He didn't even give me a second glance.
13:46He just took Chelsea by the hand
13:48and disappeared.
13:49A moment later,
13:50I heard the engine of his Maybach roar to life in the garage.
13:53I stood by the window,
13:54completely numb.
13:57I didn't sleep well.
13:59Somewhere between dreaming and waking,
14:00I saw a child,
14:01covered in blood,
14:03standing by my bed.
14:04He was crying,
14:05asking me why I didn't want him.
14:07My throat felt like it was blocked
14:08by a massive stone.
14:10I couldn't make a sound.
14:11Just as the sun was starting to come up,
14:13the bedroom door creaked open.
14:14A shadow moved toward me.
14:17Suddenly,
14:17I was lifted from the bed
14:18and pulled into a firm,
14:20strong chest.
14:21Fiona,
14:22you were having a nightmare.
14:23I didn't even have the energy
14:24to push him away.
14:26Carmine reached out
14:27to touch my forehead,
14:28sighing in relief
14:29when he realized
14:30I didn't have a fever.
14:31Fiona,
14:32I'm sorry.
14:34I said some pretty terrible things yesterday.
14:38I didn't say a word.
14:40Carmine leaned down
14:41and kissed my forehead.
14:43I know,
14:44being pregnant is hard on you.
14:46But Fiona,
14:47you need to stay rational.
14:48Don't drag innocent people into this.
14:50That girl worked so hard
14:51to get out of her small town.
14:52I've seen her work ethic.
14:54She's a dedicated assistant.
14:57Fiona,
14:57promise me you won't make trouble for her.
14:59She has nothing.
15:00She's no match for someone like you.
15:03After that,
15:03I went completely silent.
15:05We were in a cold war,
15:06but Carmine acted like
15:07nothing was wrong.
15:08Every day,
15:09he came home with
15:10bags of baby clothes
15:11and toys.
15:12He spent hours in the kitchen
15:13making healthy meals for me.
15:15He was constantly checking
15:16to see if I needed anything.
15:19Even the Vitaly elders
15:20called every day
15:21from the family estate.
15:23They told me to rest well
15:24and promised that
15:25if Carmine ever
15:26stepped out of line,
15:27they'd be the first
15:27to handle him.
15:30The Vitaly family,
15:31especially Carmine's grandfather,
15:33was obsessed with this baby.
15:34He couldn't wait
15:35for the heir to be born.
15:36The truth was,
15:37nobody knew the baby
15:38was already gone,
15:39except for Chelsea.
15:40She had stopped herself
15:41from finishing that sentence
15:42the other night,
15:43but we both knew
15:44exactly what happened.
15:45Time flew by,
15:46and soon it was the day
15:47I was supposed to leave the country.
15:49It happened to be
15:49Carmine's day off,
15:50and he insisted on
15:51taking me to the amusement park.
15:53My flight wasn't until 8 p.m.,
15:55and he wouldn't stop
15:55nagging me
15:56until I finally gave in.
15:58I put on my thickest clothes
15:59to stay warm.
16:00Then, I wrapped
16:01a long scarf around me,
16:02making sure my stomach
16:03was completely hidden.
16:05Carmine was so careful
16:06as he helped me into the car,
16:07acting like I was made of glass.
16:09At the amusement park,
16:10Carmine locked his fingers
16:11with mine
16:12and filled his warmth.
16:13He's always been warmer than me.
16:15Since we got married,
16:16I've made him hold my hand
16:17every winter
16:18just to stay warm.
16:20I'm making up
16:21for your childhood, Fiona.
16:22It reminded me
16:23of our honeymoon.
16:24When he asked
16:24where I wanted to go,
16:26I whispered,
16:26The amusement park.
16:28He didn't laugh.
16:29He didn't call me childish.
16:31He just sat down
16:32and carefully planned
16:33every detail of the trip.
16:35That was when
16:35I told him the truth.
16:38I grew up
16:39in a house
16:39full of money,
16:40but no love.
16:41Before my brother was born,
16:43my parents were
16:44too busy for me.
16:45They left me
16:46with servants,
16:47but when my brother arrived,
16:48everything changed.
16:50They gave him
16:50all their love.
16:51What do you think, buddy?
16:52They took him to the parks,
16:53but me?
16:53They sent me
16:54to a strict finishing school.
16:56They said I had to be
16:57the perfect lady
16:58because I was born
17:00to marry someone powerful.
17:02When Carmine found out,
17:03he made a vow.
17:04This is our fifth year
17:05coming here.
17:07Fiona,
17:07when our child is born,
17:09I'll bring them here
17:10every single year, too.
17:14Snowflakes fall
17:15all around us,
17:16landing on Carmine and me.
17:17He opens an umbrella
17:18to shield me from the wind,
17:19looking at me
17:20with so much love.
17:23Fiona,
17:27why do I feel like
17:28I'm about to lose you?
17:30It's not a feeling, Carmine.
17:32You are losing me.
17:33But the wind is too loud.
17:35He doesn't hear a word I say.
17:36I'm overthinking it.
17:38We've been married
17:39for so long.
17:40You can't live without me,
17:41and I can't live without you.
17:43I catch his eye
17:44and give him
17:44a cold, silent smirk.
17:46But the sudden ring
17:47of his phone cuts him off.
17:48He checks the caller ID.
17:50Fiona,
17:51I need to take this.
17:52Hands me the umbrella.
17:54It's strange.
17:55Carmine and I are standing
17:56right next to each other,
17:58but it feels like
17:59there's a massive canyon
18:00between us
18:01that I can never cross.
18:03Chelsea,
18:04don't be scared.
18:04I'm coming to the hospital
18:06right now.
18:06I'll talk to the staff there.
18:08I won't let anything
18:09happen to you.
18:10This is Carmine
18:11from the Vintero.
18:11One of our employees,
18:13Chelsea,
18:13just had a fall.
18:14If I hadn't heard it
18:15with my own ears,
18:16I never would have believed it.
18:17I never thought Carmine
18:19would use his power
18:20to pressure a hospital
18:21for someone else.
18:23Fiona,
18:24something happened to Chelsea.
18:25I have to go,
18:26right now.
18:27Wait here for a bit.
18:28I'll have the driver
18:29come pick you up.
18:32Carmine.
18:36Fiona,
18:36what is it?
18:38Our fifth anniversary
18:39is in a few days.
18:41I prepared a gift
18:42for you early.
18:44Make sure you look at it
18:45when you get home.
