Transcript
00:00The day my family went bankrupt, my dad was desperate. He tried to kill himself.
00:07I dragged him off the roof, and I said yes to Gran Blake, with one condition.
00:12Two million. Two million. And I will be yours.
00:17He went quiet for a moment.
00:19Deal.
00:20Six months after the wedding, he brought his mistress home, right into our house.
00:25I was about to lose it. He threw the prenup in my face.
00:31Don't forget your place. You sold yourself, remember?
00:34He looked me over like I was nothing. I clenched my fists. My nails cut into my palms.
00:40But I couldn't argue. Then came the day. I started bleeding.
00:45The doctor said it was a threatened miscarriage. I stood at the counter, counting every dollar.
00:52I was fourteen bucks short. Just fourteen. I called Graham. His voice came through.
00:57Sharp and bored.
01:00Didn't I already pay you off before the wedding?
01:06What? You insist on being a gold digger?
01:11That same day, he dropped fourteen million on a necklace for Vera Freda, his latest date.
01:17Ma'am, do you want the medication or not?
01:19I held back my tears and forced a smile.
01:23No meds. Please schedule the abortion.
01:26A marriage bought for two million had come to an end over fourteen bucks.
01:30I got a message right after I said it. Bank deposit. Fourteen dollars. I let out a weak laugh. Fourteen
01:38dollars covered the prescription, not the abortion.
01:41I knew Graham would not send another dime. So I texted some old friends, asking for three hundred seventeen dollars.
01:48It would be just enough. Enough for the cheapest procedure.
01:50Oh, wow. Sienna Blake is broke now?
01:54If you hadn't shaken Graham down, maybe you wouldn't be begging for pocket change.
01:58More came in, one after another. Mean, but predictable. I had heard it all before. Gold digger. Leech. Paid wife.
02:07I was used to it. Used to Graham treating our marriage like a deal. At first, I thought I could
02:13cover my own bills. Maybe even save up two million and pay him back one day, Dot. But Graham shut
02:18every door, Dot.
02:20I bought the rest of your life. Your time is mine. Your freedom is mine.
02:24So he cut off every way I could make money. No company would hire me. He wanted me to beg.
02:29That was how he punished me. Because he thought I had turned our relationship into a cash deal. I tried
02:36to explain. More than once. But he never let me finish.
02:40My phone buzzed again. Someone sent me three hundred seventy-one dollars. The note said, Here. Consider it a tip.
02:49Dragging you was fun. I wiped my face. Then I looked at the nurse.
02:53please schedule the procedure but i still did not have enough ranesthesia so i lay there awake
02:59flat on a cold table i felt everything the metal going in the scraping and the pain tore through
03:09me i thought of gran of the way he used to hold me his hand on my head his voice
03:15soft but when
03:17i got pregnant this is what he said instead when we get married we'll have a baby i'll love you
03:23both
03:23with my life but when i got pregnant this is what he said instead go ahead how much are you
03:29asking
03:30for this time no more graham i don't want your money i don't want your love and i don't want
03:36you
03:36i didn't know when the procedure ended i just lay there hollow and bleeding i stared out the clinic
03:43window the sky was dark my tears kept falling then a firework shot up thought the whole city lit up
03:50the sky was bright as daylight a few nurses nearby started whispering did you hear mr blake set this

11:55keep
11:55the baby warm finally i made it to nightfall they went to a japanese hot spring house right at the
12:03foot
12:03of the mountain while having dinner vera suddenly touched her neck and gasped oh my god my necklace
12:11i think i left it at the viewing platform then she turned to me and smiled sienna can you be
12:18a doll
12:18and go get it for me before i could answer the new housekeeper spoke up mr blake the roads are
12:25icy

12:33at me 40 grand take it or leave it deal exactly what he expected i loved money too much to
12:42say no
12:43at least that's what he believed the road up the mountain was a mess the driver could only take me
12:50halfway up we took the cable car to the platform during the day but it was already closed now the
12:56driver glanced at me nervous mrs blake please hurry if miss freddie gets upset mr blake docks my pay
13:05i nodded i nodded then started up the trail the path was slick with ice i watched every step two
13:13hours later i made it to the platform and there it was where is necklace i let out a dry
13:20laugh then i
13:22turned and started back down that's when i slipped one bad step then nothing under my feet
13:29i went over the edge branches tore at my skin rocks slammed into my body i rolled until i caught
13:37a dead
13:37tree with both hands barely i screamed for help all i heard back was wind i grabbed my phone tried
13:46to
13:47call 911 then my screen lit up battery low powering off in 30 seconds right then a transfer alert came
13:55through 40 000 a message followed got the necklace and get your ass back here a tear slid down my
14:04face
14:05before the phone died i sent him everything the full two million and my surgery record
14:15grand blake i don't owe you a damn thing now the next morning graham's drivers shook him awake
14:22panic panic all over his face mr blake something's wrong mrs blake never came down the mountain
14:30ram says straight up snatched his phone off the nightstand he saw it the transfer the photo
14:38that medical report his whole face went rigid then a news alert hit his screen this morning
14:45authorities found the frozen body of an unidentified woman on mount rainier
14:51grand blake stared at his phone like it had turned into a foreign language
14:56he near every word on the screen but together they made no sense
15:02find her his voice cracked like a whip whatever it costs find her he refused to believe the body in
15:10that alert was sienna she left money too much she would never just die grandma looked down at his
15:16phone again the transfer record the surgery report every line cut deeper sienna had picked the cheapest
15:24clinic the most basic procedure no extra meds no pain pump nothing and she used to be terrified of pain
15:33back when we were dating one tiny paper cut would bring her to me nagging about how much it hurt
15:40so how had she gone through the abortion alone and then he realized sienna hadn't said that hurts in a
15:49very
15:49long time was it their wedding night the night he took her heart over and over the night she cried
15:58and
15:59begged him to stop and he grabbed her jaw and said i paid two million for this you can handle
16:05a little
16:05more was it that night or the first time he brought another woman home or later the nights he forced
16:14her
16:14to bow her head the nights he threw her out in the cold the nights he made her serve his
16:20mistress then his
16:22eyes landed on the surgery date that day sienna asked him for 14 said she needed medicine and what
16:31had he done he mocked her hung up and bought the 14 million dollar necklace for vera he laid up
16:38the
16:39whole city with fireworks made sure everyone saw it made sure sienna saw it he wanted to punish her
16:46he wanted her to know he could spend money on any woman he wanted just not on sienna he loved
16:54watching
16:54her come to him for cash loved watching her lower herself but now now that sienna might be dead
17:02none of that mattered only one thought stuck in his head please let her be alive she wanted money he
17:10had
17:11money he would give her all of it please don't leave him a body on the mountain you think it
17:20could be
17:20sienna vera's voice sliced through the room graham looked up her eyes were bright like she was trying
17:28not to smile the roads were icy she went up there for money she tilted her head that's not my
17:33fault you
17:34said you hated her so if she's dead isn't that a good thing every word hit like a blade graham
17:41shot
17:41to his feet before vera could react his hand was around her throat his eyes went red she is not
17:49dead
17:49vera clawed at his wrist panic flooded her face ram tightened his grip his voice rose if it weren't for
17:57you none of this would have happened vera couldn't breathe a few seconds stretched forever finally he let
18:05go she collapsed to the floor and realized she had gotten too comfortable too spoiled she forgot who
18:13graham blake really was he was the man people feared in business the one they called a killer in a
18:19suit
18:20so even through her tears she still asked why are you doing this to me i thought you loved me
18:28graham
18:29didn't even blink love he looked down at her like she was dirt you think you deserve my love
18:41vera was never special to graham she was just another woman who threw herself at him
18:49the only reason vera lasted longer than the others was simple she looked the most like sienna
18:56they had the same eyes graham found that out by accident one night drunk out of his mind
19:04he called vera by sienna's name when he woke up he hated sienna even more at least that's what he
19:12told
19:12himself vera's voice cracked but i'm pregnant with your baby she wasn't about to let go graham wasn't
19:22the first sugar daddy she'd chased but he was the best one young hot loaded the only problem was sienna
19:31that wife title was still hers and as long as sienna stayed alive vera could never take her place so
19:38yes
19:39part of her had hoped sienna would disappear that was why she forgot the necklace at the platform she
19:46knew graham would make sienna go get it and when she saw the news that morning she had almost laughed
19:52she had already started picturing the wedding then graham snapped he wasn't the man she thought she knew
19:59still she had one card left the baby that was supposed to be her safety net what she didn't know
20:06was
20:07that graham had known the truth all along i never told you what i knew because you weren't important
20:13his voice was calm now you really thought i believed that kid was mine vera went still
20:19after sienna got pregnant i got a varexamy he took one slow step closer so no the baby in your
20:27stomach
20:28cannot be mine his eyes locked on hers did you really think i didn't know about your college boyfriend
20:34all the color drained from vera's face that boyfriend was real they had been together a long
20:42time he was the only one she had ever actually loved too bad he was broke graham didn't say anything
20:50because she meant so little to him that he didn't even care enough to call her out he just didn't
20:57care
20:58vera used to think she was different now she knew better she was just another toy one he could use
21:04up and toss aside no worse than that now all the rage he used to aim at sienna had nowhere
21:12to go so it
21:14landed on vera she pushed herself up from the floor and wiped the tears from her face didn't care that
21:23her mascara was wrecked for the first time she dropped the act then she looked graham dead in the eye
21:31you want someone to blame look in the mirror his face changed instantly what did you just say vera let
21:40out a bitter laugh was i wrong if you hadn't pushed sienna this far she never would have gone up
21:49that
21:49mountain in the middle of a snowstorm you made her stand there and listen while we slept together she
21:55stepped closer you drove her away and you're the one to blame by then the room fell frozen with every
22:01word vera said graham's face got colder finally he snapped his voice came out low and deadly do you
22:10want to die right then someone came running into the room mr blake he bent over gasping we got a
22:17call from
22:18the police the body they found it's not your wife hope showed on his face she's alive the assistant
22:27froze for half a beat in theory yes we've got over a hundred people out there plus a full search
22:34and
22:34rescue team he swallowed but so far there's still no sign of mrs blake for now no news was good
22:42news
22:42that thin thread of hope was the only thing holding graham together find her no matter what it took
22:49from that day on graham barely slept he watched every update himself tracked every search route every
22:58delay every lead more than once he went up the mountain in person mount rainier in winter was brutal
23:06nothing but white snow he knew the us a person alone in that kind of cold didn't last long and
23:15sienna had just had surgery she was weak one of the search team members led graham to the place where
23:22she most likely fail he pointed at a patch of frozen blood on the rocks she probably hit here first
23:29the
23:29branches and rocks slowed the fall that may have bought her some time then he handed graham and evidence
23:34back inside was three things a necklace a phone and a ring graham stared at the ring the one he
23:43had
23:43custom made when he proposed sienna wore it every day he used to think she kept it on because it
23:50was
23:50expensive because she liked what it was worth but later he learned the truth even when she had no money
23:58for medicine she still kept the ring and now she had left it there like a goodbye graham's knees almost
24:06gave out someone grabbed him fast mr blake watch it that's a straight drop that cliff was exactly why
24:14the search team kept saying her odds were slim but graham refused to stop he paid more then more again
24:22he gave only one order keep searching do not stop until you find her when graham finally went back home
24:31it had been two weeks he hadn't really been living there he slept at the office if he slept at
24:38all his
24:39assistant told him to go home but a graham knew he was staying away because he was scared that house
24:45was
24:46full of sienna every trace of her hurt like hell that was when he started noticing things sienna's clothes
24:54were old years old not like vera who had counters full of makeup and shopping bags everywhere sienna had
25:04a few drugstore skincare bottles that was it how could she have ever been the gold digger he called her
25:10then he remembered what she told him that night her family had lost everything that was why she asked
25:17him for the two million something clicked graham grabbed his keys and headed straight for the hail home
25:24the old hail family house was long gone sold off it took a graham some time to check down where
25:31her
25:31parents live now it was a worn down apartment complex the kind of place he would never have stepped into
25:38before when sienna's parents opened the door and saw him they both froze back when graham and sienna
25:44were dating they had met him a few times but after the wedding they never saw him again they kept
25:49asking
25:50sienna to bring him by for dinner they wanted to thank him in person for helping their family in a
25:55crisis
25:55every time sienna covered for him he's busy maybe next time a mother always knows mrs hale had seen the
26:03cracks but sienna never told him the bad parts only the good so they were shocked what brings you here
26:10graham his forehead was damp with sweat has sienna come back here mrs hale's face changed at once what
26:20happened to her that was it the last piece of hope in him broke sienna had not come home then
26:27where the
26:28hell was she it's nothing we had a fight i thought she might be here before leaving he looked around
26:35the apartment it was clean carefully kept but everything in it was old old couch old cabinets
26:42old table sienna had told the truth her family really had lost everything graham reached into his pocket
26:49pulled out a bank card but she pushed it back then she went inside and got a deposit book she
26:55handed it to
26:56him it's not two million yet but take it for now we'll save the rest graham sienna really loves you
27:06if you two had a fight please don't blame her and don't be hard on her please just let her
27:15come home
27:16graham didn't even know how he got out of that building it was as if he had lost his soul
27:22half a month had passed since i woke up lying in that freezing mountain ravine i was sure i was
27:30going to die luckily two strangers found me they were out went to hiking just there for the view they
27:37heard me before they saw me that same night they got me to a hospital they even paid my medical
27:42bill
27:43up front i had no money no phone and i couldn't let my parents find out so i asked the
27:49hospital to hold
27:50a gold necklace i had worn since birth my mom gave it to me when i was a baby a
27:55good luck charm that was
27:56enough to cover what i owed over those two weeks i thought about a lot if i'm honest i used
28:02to blame
28:03graham but once you almost die something shifts dot it wasn't that i forgave him it was that none of
28:09it
28:09mattered anymore after i got out of the hospital i went home my mom had more gray hair than the
28:15last
28:15time i saw her the second she saw me she burst into tears but she didn't ask any questions she
28:21just grabbed my hands and kept saying the same thing you're home that's all that matters you're
28:30home i fell into her arms and broke every bit of pain i had buried came out at once i
28:35cried so hard
28:36i couldn't breathe dot so when i saw graham again i was calmer than i expected sienna when i looked
28:43up
28:43he was standing there like a man who hadn't slept in days
28:48you're okay he looked wrecked do you know how much i missed you hollowed out like he was the one
28:58who had
28:58almost died so i didn't die that must be a let down don't say that as long as i'm here
29:06nothing will
29:07happen to you i had just gotten out of the hospital i didn't have the strength for one more uncomfortable
29:13conversation i got right to it graham i paid you back every dollar as for interest i think everything
29:22you did to me more than covers that so sign the divorce papers but his face changed fast no i'm
29:31not
29:31divorcing you i know i was wrong i know that now my money is yours all of it okay and
29:38vera is gone
29:39i took care of her for you there will never be another woman again sienna can you give me one
29:45more
29:46chance the pain on his face was real this was nothing like the grand black i knew the arrogant man
29:52who
29:52always looked down at me i had heard what happened to vera none of it surprised me graham was ruthless
29:58he always had been but what happened to vera didn't make me feel better he was wrong the person who
30:03hurt
30:03me the most was never vera it was him graham if it wasn't vera it would have been someone else
30:11alice chloe madison whoever his face only got worse you know me better than anyone when i make up my
30:20mind nobody can change it i took a breath so let's end this let's at least leave each other with
30:27that
30:28little bit of dignity he opened his mouth nothing came out then tears started falling i turned around
30:35and walked away i never looked back
30:40a month passed graham still refused to sign so i hired a lawyer i was done waiting the hearing was
30:46set
30:47then the night before the hearing graham killed himself he jumped from a cliff on mount rainier
30:54by the time they found him he was already gone lawyers from blake holdings called me the next day
