00:01On our 7th wedding anniversary, my husband, Adrienne Cole, brought his mistress home.
00:19I just looked at Adrienne. He pulled her up and wiped her tears.
00:38Then he wrapped an arm around her and walked straight into our bedroom.
00:43The door shut behind them. Our anniversary. And this is what I get.
00:48You chased me for years. Said I was your everything. And this is how it ends.
00:53I stared at the neon sign on the dining table. Happy anniversary.
00:57The pink light flickered in the dark. And just like that, I knew. We were done.
01:03The cake on the table had already melted. I took a picture of the table with my phone.
01:09No matter how I framed it, it still looked dead.
01:12An Instagram notification popped up. From Stella.
01:16Finally official. Photo attached. Two hands intertwined over a luxury car console.
01:22The watch. Adrienne's. And the passenger seat. He said it was mine.
01:28I smiled, double tapped to like it, and typed.
01:35The bedroom door swung open. Adrienne was fresh from the shower.
01:39A towel hung low on his hips.
01:41Love bites covered his chest.
01:43He caught me staring and smirked.
01:46Hey, she was just being dramatic. Don't take it seriously.
01:50He leaned down to kiss my cheek.
01:52I pulled away.
01:53His brow tightened.
01:55He dropped onto the sofa, voice softer again.
01:58Look, tonight's on me. I messed up, okay?
02:00I ordered you that new Cartedia set you liked.
02:02And a couple of bags. They'll be here tomorrow.
02:05She's young. Doesn't always think things through.
02:08Just delete the comment, Charlotte.
02:09She's in there crying her eyes out.
02:11I crossed my arms, staring at the man I had loved for ten years.
02:16And if I don't?
02:17Stella burst out of the bedroom, eyes red with tears streaming.
02:21Mrs. Cole, if you hate me that much, I'll go!
02:23She spun toward the front door.
02:25Adrienne yanked her back into his arms.
02:27Where the hell do you think you're going?
02:29You're mine, Stella.
02:31First kiss, first time, first love, all me.
02:36Everything you had, you gave it to me.
02:38You really think you can walk away now?
02:39Stella choked on a sob.
02:41I don't want to leave, but she hates me.
02:44Let me go, Adrienne. I just want you to be happy.
02:46Adrienne glared at me.
02:48I make the rules in this house.
02:49If I say you stay, no one's kicking you out.
02:51His voice softened entirely.
02:54Hey, calm down.
02:56His hand slid down, resting on her stomach.
02:59You're pregnant. You can't be crying like this.
03:03My head snapped up.
03:05Blood drained from my face.
03:07Over his shoulder, Stella flashed me a triumphant smirk.
03:10Easy.
03:11The baby feels everything.
03:13I watched him guide her back into our bedroom.
03:16My stomach churned violently.
03:18I dumped the ruined dinner straight into the trash.
03:21When I stepped out, my phone was buzzing.
03:24I picked up and unlocked it.
03:26Adrienne posted a photo for the first time.
03:29It was Stella's side profile.
03:31In the dim light, she looked just like me.
03:33The comments were flooding in.
03:35Couple goals.
03:37Happy anniversary.
03:38I almost laughed.
03:40He knew exactly how to break me.
03:42Our marriage has turned into a game.
03:44A twisted, sickening game of three.
03:46I didn't sleep at all.
03:48Not even for a minute.
03:50I always had trouble sleeping in unfamiliar beds.
03:53Back then, Adrienne had one custom built.
03:56A perfect copy of the one I grew up with.
03:58Now, another woman was sleeping in it.
04:03My stomach cramped.
04:05The ulcer flaring up from an empty stomach.
04:08I went to the kitchen.
04:10Heated up a bowl of soup.
04:12Stepped into the bathroom for one minute.
04:15When I came back,
04:16Stella was sitting at my island and eating my soup.
04:19Adrienne stood over her,
04:21wiping the corner of her mouth with a napkin.
04:24Good?
04:24You little glutton.
04:25If you like it, I'll have Charlotte make you another bowl.
04:28Stella looked up.
04:29Really? I just...
04:31I don't think she wants to.
04:33Adrienne followed her gaze and finally looked at me.
04:35Noticed the sweat on my forehead.
04:37He took a step forward.
04:39Charlotte?
04:39What's wrong? You look pale.
04:41I shoved past him.
04:43None of your business.
04:45Mrs. Cole, if you're mad, take it out on me.
04:47Don't snap at Adrienne.
04:48I ignored her and turned toward the kitchen.
04:51As I passed her,
04:52she suddenly stood,
04:53pretended to hand me the bowl,
04:55and intentionally threw herself backward.
04:57The scalding hot soup splashed over both of us.
05:00Pain exploded across my skin.
05:02I lost my balance and hit the ground hard,
05:04before I could even react.
05:06Adrienne shoved me aside.
05:08My head slammed into the sharp corner of the island.
05:10Warm blood dripped down my temple.
05:12He was already on his knees,
05:14holding Stella.
05:16Adrienne, it hurts!
05:17Our baby!
05:17Is the baby okay?
05:19Tears streamed down her face.
05:20She looked at me like I'd killed something.
05:23Mrs. Cole,
05:23if you hate me,
05:24you can hit me,
05:25but why would you hurt my child?
05:27He didn't do anything!
05:28Charlotte,
05:29have I spoiled you so much
05:31you've gotten this vicious?
05:32Going after a child?
05:33I leaned weakly against the cabinets.
05:36You two deserve each other.
05:37A lying bastard
05:38and a blind idiot.
05:40He strode over and slapped me hard.
05:42My cheek burned.
05:44My stomach twisted in blinding agony.
05:46Through blurred vision,
05:48I looked at him.
05:49The boy who promised me the world was gone.
05:52Now you cry?
05:53Where was this when you were hurting Stella?
05:57You sickened me.
05:59Charlotte.
06:00I said nothing.
06:01Just watched him bend down
06:03and lift Stella into his arms,
06:05leaving me writhing on the kitchen floor.
06:07I watched the door for a long time.
06:09Years ago,
06:10when I ran away with him
06:11and left everything behind,
06:13he held me the same way.
06:15And now,
06:16that same man
06:17didn't hesitate either.
06:19just not for me anymore.
06:21I forced myself up
06:22and called 911.
06:23When I woke up,
06:25it was already afternoon.
06:26It's an acute GI bleed.
06:28If you came in any later,
06:29you wouldn't have made it.
06:30I didn't respond.
06:32It flared fast,
06:33but also passed fast.
06:35Your forehead stitched.
06:36Keep it clean.
06:38Come back for a follow-up.
06:40I nodded and sat up slowly.
06:42After signing the paperwork,
06:43I walked toward the elevator
06:45and froze.
06:47It was Adrian,
06:48pushing Stella in a wheelchair
06:50through the maternity ward.
06:51She saw me first,
06:53immediately clutched her stomach.
06:55Adrian scowled.
06:56What are you doing here?
06:57What?
06:58Another stunt?
07:00Because of you,
07:01the doctor says she needs bed rest now.
07:03Then he caught the white gauze
07:04on my forehead.
07:05What happened to your head?
07:07Her situation has nothing to do with me.
07:10As for my head,
07:11I fell.
07:13He seemed to say something,
07:14but Stella tugged on his sleeve.
07:17Adrian,
07:17I'm not feeling great.
07:19Can we go?
07:20He held back what he wanted to say,
07:22and I turned,
07:23walked away.
07:24Our home was exactly how I left it.
07:26I called a cleaning service,
07:28then went straight to the bedroom.
07:31Overnight,
07:31it had become hers.
07:33All my things were shoved carelessly
07:34into the guest closet.
07:36She had taken my place.
07:38Sleeping next to my husband,
07:40I swallowed the lump in my throat.
07:42No more tears.
07:43I left everything he ever gave me.
07:46Only packed what I brought with me.
07:48Just one small suitcase.
07:50I placed it in the guest room.
07:52Then,
07:52the front door opened.
07:54Adrian was back.
07:55Packing things for Stella.
07:57I kept scrolling on my phone.
07:59Stella has seven months left
08:01before the baby comes.
08:04The kid needs a name.
08:05I froze.
08:06We'll get divorced first.
08:08After the baby's born,
08:09we can remarry.
08:11A flicker of guilt crossed his face.
08:13Charlotte,
08:13I swear,
08:15just this once.
08:16She's pregnant.
08:17She's already gone this far from me.
08:20If I don't step up,
08:21what does that make me?
08:22Okay.
08:23Adrian exhaled with massive relief.
08:25He looked like years ago
08:27when I said yes.
08:28But now,
08:29it was for leaving me.
08:31I lowered my gaze.
08:32Let's do it now.
08:34Before they close.
08:36The paperwork was processed fast.
08:38By nightfall,
08:39it was done.
08:40Outside,
08:41the city lights blurred.
08:43Let me drive you home.
08:45I got in the car.
08:47At the first red light,
08:49his phone buzzed.
08:50He pulled over at a bus stop
08:52and let me out.
08:53Something came up.
08:54I need to get back.
08:55You can make it home, right?
08:56Then,
08:57he left me on the curb.
08:58Drove away.
08:59I looked down at the red stamp
09:01on the divorce papers.
09:02Let out a shaky breath.
09:04A tear slipped free.
09:06The summer I fought the world
09:07for him was over.
09:08I took out my phone.
09:10Booked a flight.
09:11The next afternoon,
09:13I was about to leave
09:14when they came back.
09:15Adrian went straight
09:16to his study.
09:17Stella stayed in the living room.
09:19She rubbed her stomach,
09:20eyes gleaming with pure malice.
09:21Thanks for stepping aside,
09:23Charlotte.
09:23Our baby appreciates the upgrade.
09:25I scoffed.
09:26You think a homewrecker's kid
09:27gets a happy ending?
09:29So what?
09:30He still chose me.
09:31She stepped closer,
09:33lowering her voice.
09:34And you lost.
09:35She was right.
09:36I lost 10 years of my life.
09:38I met her eyes.
09:39Maybe I lost.
09:41But that doesn't make you the winner.
09:42Then let's destroy
09:43whatever is left.
09:44Before I could react,
09:45she suddenly punched herself
09:47in the stomach.
09:48Bright blood instantly
09:49soaked her trousers.
09:50She collapsed,
09:51screaming,
09:52Charlotte, please,
09:53don't hit me.
09:53Oh, my baby.
09:54The door slammed open.
09:55Adrian rushed in
09:56and kicked me hard
09:57without hesitation.
09:58I gave you enough chances,
09:59you bitch.
10:00If anything happens to her,
10:02I swear I'll kill you.
10:03The door sent my back
10:04crashing into the corner
10:05of the coffee table.
10:06A sickening tear
10:07ripped through my gut.
10:08I vomited a mouthful
10:09of bright blood,
10:10curled on the floor,
10:12trembling from the pain.
10:13Adrian called an ambulance
10:14and carried her away
10:15without once turning back.
10:17My vision dimmed.
10:18I fought through the pain
10:19and fumbled for my phone,
10:21pressed emergency contact.
10:22The number Adrian set himself
10:24years ago.
10:25Are you out of your damn mind?
10:27His voice cut me off
10:28with anger and blame.
10:29Then he hung up.
10:30He didn't hear my choking breaths.
10:32I suddenly smiled.
10:34Adrian once asked
10:35if I regretted choosing him.
10:36My answer had always been no.
10:38But now, I did.
10:39Outside the ER,
10:41Adrian paced the hallway.
10:42He kept thinking about that call.
10:44Then he loosened his tie
10:45and stared at it.
10:46A gift from Charlotte.
10:47Their sixth anniversary.
10:49Reality hit him
10:50like a freight train.
10:51The night he brought Stella home,
10:52it was their seventh anniversary.
10:54The doctor came out.
10:55Congrats.
10:56Both safe.
10:56Adrian exhaled.
10:58Then he dialed Charlotte's number.
10:59No answer.
11:00A strange panic rose in his chest.
11:02Dear, don't blame her.
11:04She just loves you too much.
11:05The panic vanished,
11:06replaced by cold arrogance.
11:08You're too kind, baby.
11:09That's why she walks all over you.
11:11She'd better show up and apologize,
11:13or I won't forgive her.
11:14But she never came.
11:16Every call went to voicemail.
11:17A week later,
11:18Stella was discharged.
11:20He drove fast,
11:21just wanted to see her.
11:22But when he got home,
11:23the house was empty and clean.
11:25He walked into the guest room.
11:27Then the master bedroom.
11:29All empty.
11:30Only Stella's things.
11:31He rushed to the closet.
11:33All the jewelry was still there.
11:35He told himself
11:36she was just making a scene.
11:38Two weeks passed.
11:39The phone was still dead.
11:41Not even a birthday text.
11:42For the first time in 10 years.
11:44One night,
11:45he couldn't sleep.
11:46He stood in the closet,
11:48staring at the memories.
11:49Then suddenly,
11:50he realized.
11:52She didn't take a single thing he bought her.
11:54She only took herself.
11:56His knees gave out.
11:57He collapsed onto the hardwood floor
11:59and dialed her every friend.
12:00Nobody knew anything.
12:02Charlotte had left without a word.
12:04That was when Adrian finally understood.
12:06Charlotte had disappeared from his world.
12:09Adrian hadn't slept until morning.
12:11Stella pushed him to go for a checkup.
12:13He drove her there in a daze.
12:15Mind entirely on Charlotte.
12:16He walked her to the VIP exam room.
12:18Realized he had left his car keys on her hospital bed.
12:21He turned back.
12:22Marched down the hallway.
12:24Approached the closed door.
12:25The door was slightly ajar.
12:27A low, breathy moan drifted out.
12:29Adrian froze.
12:30He pushed the door open an inch.
12:32Stella's dress was pulled around her waist.
12:34Straddling the doctor on the ultrasound table.
12:37Damn, babe.
12:38Adrian's not taking care of this.
12:39Are you kidding?
12:40He hasn't touched me since I said I was pregnant.
12:42I finally got rid of his wife.
12:44The fake baby.
12:45Is everything ready?
12:46Relax.
12:47Just bring the child in later.
12:48No one will know.
12:50Adrian's hands trembled uncontrollably.
12:52Then, he slapped himself hard again and again,
12:55punishing himself for every tear Charlotte shed.
12:57He slid down the cold hospital wall,
12:59choked on a sob,
13:00but no one held him this time.
13:02He kicked open the door.
13:03Two heads snapped up with pure terror.
13:06Stella scrambled off the doctor,
13:07frantically pulling down her dress.
13:09tears instantly streamed down her face.
13:12Dear, thank God he forced me.
13:14Our baby.
13:15You lying slut.
13:16Mr. Cole, it was her.
13:17She seduced me.
13:17She faked the whole pregnancy for your money.
13:19Adrian's hands wrapped around Stella's throat and squeezed,
13:22looking at the pathetic and greedy face.
13:24He wondered how he could be so stupid.
13:26By that afternoon,
13:27the police dragged them both out in handcuffs.
13:29Adrian stood alone in their empty penthouse.
13:32Then, he called Charlotte again,
13:33for what felt like the thousandth time.
13:35Just like before,
13:36the call didn't go through.
13:38That was when he finally understood.
13:40Charlotte was never coming back.
13:42I was taken to the hospital by the cleaning staff.
13:44Diagnosis,
13:45recurrent gastric perforation.
13:47No more injuries.
13:48No stress.
13:49I nodded.
13:50Discharged myself that afternoon.
13:52Boarded a direct flight to Paris.
13:54My parents were diplomats.
13:56Stationed in France.
13:57When I was 18,
13:58I met Adrian.
13:59Fell hard and was blinded by it.
14:01My parents warned me,
14:02but I didn't listen.
14:03I threw away my acceptance letter to Yale.
14:06Stayed behind to build his empire in a dusty garage.
14:09My parents were furious.
14:10Cut me off entirely.
14:12I didn't fly here to beg for forgiveness.
14:14I just wanted to see them.
14:16I stood across the street from their university.
14:18Freezing wind was biting at my coat.
14:21Then,
14:21I saw my mother.
14:22Her sleek,
14:23dark hair had turned silver.
14:25I hid behind a giant oak tree.
14:27Tears streamed down my frozen cheeks.
14:29Then everything hit me at once.
14:31The world spun.
14:31I fell.
14:33A blurry figure dropped her briefcase and sprinted toward me.
14:36The familiar scent of citrus filled my nose.
14:38It was mom.
14:39I woke up in the afternoon.
14:41My parents were by my bedside.
14:42For the first time in years,
14:44we were together again.
14:46One month in Paris.
14:47My ulcer and heart were healed.
14:49Mom introduced me to a firm run by her former student,
14:52Jackson Vance.
14:53Years ago,
14:53I built an empire with Adrian,
14:55only to be locked in a penthouse as a trophy wife.
14:58Now I took my life back.
14:59And I found someone else.
15:01Jackson.
15:02He had taken care of my parents all these years.
15:04Our relationship grew quietly and naturally.
15:07Not like Adrian,
15:08who burns everything to the ground.
15:09With him,
15:10I finally found peace.
15:12Six months later,
15:13on my birthday,
15:14I was walking home when a shadow stepped out of the alley.
15:16It was Adrian.
15:18Bloodshot eyes,
15:19hollow cheeks.
15:20I didn't recognize him at first.
15:21He lunged forward to pull me into a desperate hug.
15:24I took a step back.
15:26Tears streamed down his ruined face.
15:27Charlotte.
15:29I've been looking for you.
15:30I'm going out of my mind.
15:32Come home with me, please.
15:33Stella was a fraud.
15:35I've sent her to prison.
15:36The pregnancy was fake.
15:37Everything was a lie.
15:39He choked on a sob.
15:40I was wrong.
15:41I'm so sorry.
15:42Just come back.
15:43I'll do everything you want.
15:44Please.
15:45It's you who slapped me,
15:46kicked me,
15:46and chose not to listen.
15:48We're done, Adrian.
15:50You lost me that moment you chose her.
15:52No, you loved me.
15:53We loved each other.
15:54We can fix this.
15:56He reached for my hand.
15:57A heavy boot slammed into his chest.
15:59Jackson stepped over him,
16:01eyes dark with fury.
16:02You okay, sweetie?
16:03Did this psycho touch you?
16:04I shook my head and slid my hand into his,
16:06stepped onto my tiptoes,
16:08and pulled Jackson into a passionate kiss.
16:10No!
16:11Stop!
16:12This is a show, isn't it?
16:14You're doing this to make me jealous.
16:16It was my fault.
16:18Please just don't do this.
16:20I don't need your permission to move on.
16:22We signed the papers.
16:23We're nothing to each other.
16:24I leaned into Jackson.
16:25Mr. Cole, I'm married now.
16:27Respect yourself.
16:28Jackson wrapped a protective arm around my waist.
16:30We turned to walk away.
16:31Adrian threw himself at my feet.
16:34Please.
16:35I'm begging you.
16:36I'll give you anything,
16:37even my life.
16:38Seven years.
16:39Doesn't that mean anything?
16:40Do you really want to talk about years?
16:42I left everything for you and gave you everything,
16:45but you still chose her.
16:46His mouth opened to formulate another excuse.
16:49I pulled out a folded piece of paper.
16:51Tomorrow's birthday surprise for Jackson.
16:53I dropped it onto Adrian's lap.
16:55I'm pregnant.
16:56Jackson's the father.
16:57Jackson froze, then spun me around.
17:00On the ground, Adrian picked up the ultrasound report.
17:02His hands violently shook.
17:04Tears dripped down, blurring the image of my baby.
17:07I didn't spare him another glance.
17:09Jackson took me home.
17:10Adrian stood outside our gate for three days.
17:12Jackson finally called the police.
17:14He was deported back to the States.
17:16Seven months later, I gave birth to twins.
17:19On their first birthday, I saw Adrian on the news.
17:22He had crossed the border without permission.
17:24His plane crashed into the bay.
17:26I didn't attend the funeral.
17:28I only sent a rose.
17:29For goodbye.
17:30I was in the middle of the bay.
17:30I was in the middle of the bay.
17:30I was in the middle of the bay.
