00:00After a year of not seeing my husband due to our long-distance marriage,
00:03I stumble upon his sister-in-law's Instagram,
00:05My Dear Niece.
00:06In the photo, my husband Ethan holds a baby in one arm
00:09and wraps the other around a woman I do not know.
00:11I quietly notes down the address and close the post.
00:14On the weekend, I go to the address.
00:16The place is lively.
00:17A pretty woman stands at the entrance,
00:20holding a one-year-old girl as she greets guests.
00:23She smiles and says to me,
00:24You're Ethan's colleague, right?
00:26Come in.
00:27I glance at the little girl in her arms.
00:29I keep my face blank and ask,
00:31Where is Ethan?
00:32I do not see him anywhere,
00:33but I do see a few familiar faces from Ethan's family.
00:36Ethan went to pick up his parents.
00:37He'll be back soon.
00:38Two days ago, my in-laws told me they signed up for a two-week tour.
00:43I wanted to treat them,
00:44so I covered part of their trip and sent them $1,000 as a gift.
00:48She leads me into the banquet hall.
00:50As soon as I get closer, a middle-aged man says to Hannah with envy,
00:54I really envy Ethan.
00:56Not only is his wife beautiful, but his daughter is even more beautiful.
01:00Several people chime in, one after another.
01:03Hannah, when you left your career to return to the family, we worried about you.
01:07Now it looks like you made the right choice.
01:09More than six years have passed, and you and Ethan are still so happy.
01:13Now you even have a daughter.
01:14I'm really happy for you.
01:16My hand curls into a fist, my nails digging into my palm.
01:20Our marriage has lasted just seven years,
01:22and he has been cheating with Hannah for more than six of those years.
01:26What is even more ridiculous is that in these long seven years, I knew nothing.
01:31Even this morning, he sent me a good morning text like always.
01:34Honey, I miss you.
01:36For these seven years, his salary goes into our joint account.
01:39He only keeps a small allowance.
01:41The rest goes to household expenses and savings.
01:44Every year, he buys me a piece of Tiffany jewelry with his year-end bonus.
01:48I have collected quite a few of those little blue boxes at home.
01:52A year ago, he discussed it with me.
01:55The company wanted to transfer him to the Boston branch with a $5,000 monthly raise.
02:00He said it was for our son's future.
02:03He wanted to earn more to save for our son.
02:06After thinking it through, I agreed to let him go to Boston.
02:14One of Ethan's colleagues lifts his glass and sighs.
02:18Ethan is unreal.
02:19Three years in a row, top sales in the entire region.
02:23He works so hard and treats his wife so well.
02:26That kind of man is rare.
02:28Hannah's face glows with a bright smile.
02:31Time flies.
02:32I attended your wedding six years ago, and now you already have a child.
02:37So they even had a grand wedding!
02:40When I married Ethan, we only went back to his hometown and held a small party.
02:45Only his parents and a few relatives were there.
02:48He did not invite any friends or colleagues.
02:51I stand in the crowd, quietly listening to the secrets of my husband I never knew.
02:56A woman loops her arm through Hannah's and asks eagerly,
03:00Hannah, how do you do it?
03:02Ethan practically loves you.
03:04Teach me your secret.
03:05Her smile is full of happiness.
03:07It's just that Ethan is a great man.
03:11I'm lucky to have met him.
03:12A friend beside her shakes the bracelet on her wrist.
03:17It is a new Tiffany piece.
03:19Let me tell you how good Ethan is to her.
03:22Every year, he buys Hannah one as a gift.
03:26Hannah laughs and lightly taps her.
03:29Don't say everything out loud.
03:31Her friend shrugs.
03:33What's there to hide?
03:35Your husband's heart is completely with you.
03:38They chat enthusiastically, not noticing at all that I stand there like an outsider.
03:44Hannah's phone rings.
03:46Ethan is calling me.
03:47Hold her for a moment.
03:49As she speaks, she casually places the baby in my arms.
03:52The soft little girl lies quietly in my arms, not crying, not fussing.
03:58Hannah stands right beside me.
03:59Ethan's voice comes clearly through the phone.
04:01Baby, don't tire yourself out.
04:03I picked up my parents.
04:05There's some traffic.
04:06Don't worry.
04:07Hannah answers gently.
04:08I'm not tired.
04:09Take your time driving.
04:11Don't rush.
04:11As soon as she hangs up, a wave of envy rises around us.
04:15You two are so in love.
04:17At the office, he texts you every hour.
04:20Hannah, you really found a good man.
04:23Even if every man in the world cheats, Ethan never would.
04:27I used to think Ethan cared deeply about me.
04:30He calls me once a day and sends me a message, even though the calls are short, usually under a
04:36minute.
04:36I have never doubted him.
04:39I never thought he was sharing every detail of his life with another woman.
04:47I hold the baby and find an empty seat.
04:51By accident, I notice a custom cross necklace around her neck.
04:57Seven years ago, right after I found out I was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl,
05:04my mom had a pair of necklaces specially made.
05:07She even took them to church and asked a priest to bless.
05:11But fate had other plans.
05:14Something went wrong during delivery.
05:16Only my son survived.
05:20The one meant for my daughter, I have kept carefully in the safe at home.
05:25Every time I think of the child who never got to be born, I hold that necklace and cry until
05:31I can't breathe.
05:34My hands bowl as I touch this necklace and gently turn it over.
05:40A name is clearly engraved on the back.
05:44Joy Shaw.
05:47Hannah walks over with a smile and sits beside me.
05:50My daughter's name is Joy Shaw.
05:52Ethan picked it.
05:53This necklace was also custom made by Ethan.
05:56You have no idea how much he loves his daughter.
05:59He treats you really well.
06:01You must be pretty new at the company, right?
06:04I know all the old employees.
06:06Some left later.
06:07Ethan said there are quite a few new hires now.
06:10Yeah.
06:14The company benefits are good, but there's always business trips.
06:18Ethan only stopped traveling this past year.
06:20Before that, he was always on the road.
06:22Sometimes we wouldn't see each other for a whole month.
06:25Good thing we got through it.
06:26Yeah.
06:27Hannah makes no move to take the baby back.
06:31From time to time, she gets up to greet new guests.
06:35My daughter really likes you.
06:37When my friends hold her, she cries right away.
06:42But you've been holding her for so long and she hasn't cried at all.
06:46That's amazing.
06:48I reply lightly.
06:50Maybe it's because I have a child too.
06:52I'm used to it.
06:54And Shue leaned.
06:55Then I'll trouble you to hold her longer.
06:57I need to greet her over some new guests.
06:59She walks off without worry.
07:02I look at the large banner hanging in the middle of the hall.
07:05Happy first birthday joy.
07:08Daddy and mommy love you.
07:09My son never had a birthday party.
07:12Now he can throw a joyful birthday party.
07:15Only I still remember the daughter who never got to be born.
07:20Suddenly, my mother-in-law calls me.
07:24Claire, I sent you a text.
07:26Did you see it?
07:27No.
07:28Are you at the grocery store?
07:29It's so loud on your end.
07:31Check the text I sent you.
07:33I can barely hear you.
07:35Just text me back.
07:36I open my phone and see to see the message she sent 20 minutes ago.
07:41Claire, one of Ethan's cousins just had a baby.
07:45I need to send a gift.
07:47Can you trance me $500?
07:49You know how it is.
07:51It's family.
07:52My fingers tighten around the phone,
07:54turning pale as anger surges through me.
07:58I do not reply.
08:00Another message comes in.
08:01Did you transfer it, Claire?
08:03It's urgent.
08:03I still do not respond.
08:06Soon, another message pops up.
08:10She starts blaming me.
08:12I always thought you were sensible.
08:14I didn't expect you to be this kind of person.
08:18Fine.
08:19Forget it.
08:19I'll figure it out myself.
08:21When Hannah comes back, she is on the phone.
08:24I clearly hear Ethan's voice through the receiver.
08:28Baby,
08:28My mom got another piece of jewelry for our little girl.
08:32You don't need to buy more.
08:34Our baby already has plenty.
08:37Ethan adds,
08:38This one is different.
08:39It was blessed by a priest at church.
08:42Two days ago,
08:43My son left for summer camp.
08:46Before he left,
08:47My mother-in-law told him to take off his necklace
08:50so he would not lose it.
08:52After he took it off,
08:54he casually handed it to her for safekeeping.
08:57I never thought she would use my son's necklace
08:59as a gift for Ethan's illegitimate daughter.
09:03Hannah smiles sweetly.
09:04Then thank mom for me.
09:06She's so thoughtful.
09:08My mother-in-law's voice comes through the phone.
09:10What's there to thank?
09:11This is what I should do as a grandmother.
09:14You gave me such a precious granddaughter.
09:17I should be thanking you.
09:19We'll be there soon.
09:21As soon as the call ends,
09:23Hannah reaches out to take the baby.
09:25But then she notices new guests arriving not far away.
09:29She turns to greet them again.
09:31I keep holding their illegitimate daughter.
09:35Your birthday party will be unforgettable for everyone.
09:39Finally, I hear Ethan's family arriving late,
09:42their voices carrying through the crowd.
09:44Holding his illegitimate daughter,
09:46I walk up to the stage.
09:47Just as he asks Hannah,
09:49Baby, where's our girl?
09:52Dear, your bastard child is in my arms.
09:56All eyes turn to me on the stage.
09:59Then chaos erupts.
10:02Hannah runs to me, holding back her emotions,
10:04and speaks gently.
10:06I don't even know how to address you.
10:08I thought you were Ethan's colleague.
10:11Ma'am, do you have some conflict with Ethan?
10:14Ethan, we can talk this through.
10:17Can you give me the baby first?
10:18I do not give the baby back.
10:20Instead, I tell her,
10:23I am his wife of seven years.
10:26We have a six-year-old son.
10:28Tell me, do we have a conflict?
10:32Hannah's face turns pale.
10:33She staggers back a step.
10:35Shock fills her eyes,
10:36and tears stream down her face.
10:39How is that possible?
10:41Darling, tell me,
10:42how many years have we been married?
10:45All eyes burn toward him.
10:47Voices rise from the crowd.
10:49I always thought Ethan was on his second marriage.
10:52Turns out, he never divorced.
10:54So who is his real wife?
10:56Why are there suddenly two wives?
10:58No wonder the woman on stage was so quiet earlier.
11:00I knew something was off.
11:02I look at my in-laws,
11:04just as humiliated,
11:05and say on purpose,
11:06Dad, Mom, tell them,
11:08who is your daughter-in-law?
11:10My in-laws lower their heads and say nothing.
11:13Ethan looks like a knife is pressed to his throat
11:15as he slowly walks onto the stage.
11:19Hannah grabs his arm,
11:20crying.
11:22Say something!
11:24What is going on?
11:28Which one of us is the other woman?
11:31Don't get worked up.
11:32I'll explain everything to you slowly.
11:36Hannah refuses to back down.
11:39No.
11:41I want you to say it now.
11:43She showed up at our baby's birthday party
11:45and made a scene.
11:46This has to be made clear
11:47in front of everyone.
11:49Whether I'm the other woman
11:50or she is,
11:52we were both deceived.
11:53We're both victims.
11:55I recognize that ring.
11:57When I married Ethan,
11:59I fell in love with that exact design
12:01at first sight.
12:02But it was too expensive,
12:04so I chose a simpler one.
12:06Back then,
12:07Ethan's eyes turned red with guilt.
12:09As he promised me,
12:11that one day,
12:12when he could afford it,
12:13he would buy me that ring.
12:15Now he can afford it,
12:16but the ring is on another woman's hand.
12:19Ethan looks at me.
12:20His eyes are filled with tangled emotions.
12:23Shame weighing on him.
12:25His lips move with difficulty.
12:28I'm sorry.
12:28Please stop making a scene.
12:30Can we talk?
12:31At home?
12:32Dear,
12:33what did you say?
12:35Go home?
12:36Which home?
12:39Do you mean the home we share
12:41or the one you share with Hannah?
12:43He looks even more ashamed,
12:45unable to face me.
12:46He steps forward
12:48and reaches for my microphone.
12:49I'm begging you.
12:51Stop this.
12:52I take a step back
12:54and pull my arm away.
12:55I do not let him take the microphone.
12:58Answer me.
12:59Who is your wife?
13:02What are you doing here today?
13:04Hannah rushes forward,
13:06grabbing his arm,
13:07her voice shaking.
13:08Say it!
13:09Ethan is forced into a corner.
13:12He has no choice but to answer.
13:16You are my wife.
13:18I'm sorry.
13:19I shouldn't have cheated.
13:21The crowd explodes.
13:26Hannah breaks down,
13:28crying as she hits him over and over.
13:30Then what am I?
13:32How could you do this to me,
13:34Ethan?
13:38She suddenly remembers something
13:40and clutches his arm tightly.
13:42No.
13:42No, that's not right.
13:44We have a marriage certificate.
13:46I'm your legal wife.
13:48The certificate is fake.
13:53Hannah's legs give out.
13:54She collapses to the floor,
13:56her sobs tearing through the room.
13:59Fake!
14:00She cries out,
14:02her voice breaking.
14:04You gave me a ring.
14:07You gave me a wedding.
14:10You stood in a church
14:12and made vows in front of everyone.
14:16Now we even have a child
14:18and you're telling me it was all fake?
14:21Ethan,
14:22how could you do this to me?
14:26He treats you better than he treats me.
14:28He buys you real Tiffany every year.
14:31The ones he gives me are fake.
14:35He told me he was transferred to Boston for work.
14:40That was a lie too.
14:42He's been living with you openly as your husband.
14:47I lift the necklace from her daughter's neck.
14:50Do you know where this necklace came from?
14:53Seven years ago,
14:55I was pregnant with twins for Ethan.
14:59My mom specially had a pair of necklaces made.
15:03She even had the names engraved on the back
15:06and took them to church for a priest blessing.
15:09And the name your daughter has now
15:11was the name I chose for my unborn daughter.
15:15I never thought he would give my daughter's things
15:18to your daughter.
15:20I turned to my in-laws,
15:22standing in the middle of the crowd.
15:24My dear mother-in-law even planned
15:27to give the necklace my son is wearing now
15:29to this illegitimate child.
15:32Seven years of marriage.
15:34How have I treated you?
15:38You always said we're family.
15:42Is this what you call love?
15:45In these seven years,
15:46you Charles in and out hospital.
15:48I was the one taking care of you.
15:52Even your night crew update and wadding mom,
15:54I soshed him by hand for seven years.
15:57Since I married Ethan,
15:59you have not cooked a single meal.
16:02Two days ago,
16:03you said you were going on a trip.
16:06I even gave you $1,000.
16:08I treated you like my own parents.
16:11And you?
16:13How did you treat me?
16:14How did you treat your only grandson?
16:17My mother-in-law is called out in front of everyone.
16:22She is so ashamed,
16:23she cannot even lift her head.
16:25The whispers from the crowd
16:27strips away every last bit of their dignity.
16:31Unbelievable.
16:32Ethan cheats,
16:33and his parents were in on it the whole time?
16:36Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?
16:39That poor woman gave seven years to this family.
16:43What a waste.
16:46Ethan walks toward me again.
16:47He pulls me into a tight embrace.
16:50Claire, I'm sorry.
16:52I'm a piece of shit.
16:54His voice breaks,
16:55thick with tears.
16:56I'll never do it again.
16:59Forgive me.
17:00Just this once.
17:02Please.
17:03Held in his arms.
17:05I start crying.
17:06Hannah watches him hold me and apologize.
17:09She cries.
17:10Then lets out a bitter laugh, too.
17:15She gets up from the floor.
17:17Grabs Ethan's arm.
17:19Pulls us apart.
17:21What about me?
17:22How are you going to answer to me?
17:25You bastard!
17:27She almost falls again.
17:28Her whole body trembles.
17:30She sways.
17:31Her makeup ruined by tears.
17:33I'm sorry.
17:34I lied to you,
17:35and I wasted your time.
17:37You'll meet someone better.
17:38Not someone like me.
17:43Hannah bursts into hysterical laughter.
17:47Trash!
17:48Ethan does not spare her another glance.
17:51Honey,
17:52can we go home?
17:55What about her?
17:56What are you going to do?
17:58I know you've always wanted a daughter.
18:00If you're willing to raise her,
18:02we can keep her with us.
18:04Hannah stumbles toward me
18:06and drops to her knees.
18:10Claire.
18:12Claire.
18:13Claire, I'm begging you.
18:15Give me my child.
18:18I won't fight you for Ethan.
18:20I'll give him back to you.
18:23She cries so hard,
18:25she can barely breathe.
18:29My child can't go with you.
18:31I didn't mean to be the other woman.
18:33I truly didn't know he had a family.
18:36Please, give my baby back to me.
18:41I reach out and take off the necklace
18:43from the baby's neck.
18:45Don't worry.
18:46I won't hurt her.
18:48If I wanted to,
18:50I wouldn't have waited until now.
18:52As I speak,
18:53I remove the necklace.
18:55The baby whimmers,
18:56probably hungry.
18:57Hannah pleads.
18:59She's hungry.
19:00Please, let me feed her.
19:02Can I have her back?
19:03I need you to answer a few questions.
19:05Don't worry,
19:06I won't take your child.
19:07I have my own.
19:09She nods.
19:10It seems she will answer anything she knows.
19:13Since you've been together,
19:15how much money has Ethan give you?
19:17The wedding cost about $50,000.
19:21After we got married,
19:22he gave me $10,000 a month,
19:23and every year he buys me jewelry.
19:26In these six years,
19:28it's about $800,000.
19:31After I married him,
19:33I stopped working.
19:36I really didn't know
19:37he was already married.
19:39I really didn't know
19:40he was already married.
19:43I know you'll sue
19:44to get back every dollar
19:45he spent on me.
19:51So I won't lie to you.
19:54I calm down a little
19:55and ask her,
19:56If I ask you to return the money,
19:58will you?
19:59She nods without hesitation.
20:01Yes.
20:03I'll write you a check.
20:04Right now.
20:11Hannah takes out her checkbook
20:12without a second thought.
20:14She lowers her head,
20:15writes quickly,
20:16I've returned the money.
20:18I'm giving the man back to you too.
20:22I only want my child.
20:24Can you give her back to me?
20:33This is your child.
20:35No one can take her from you.
20:40I'll take the money.
20:41I don't want the man.
20:43As soon as I finish speaking,
20:45I walk out without looking back.
20:47Ethan does not hesitate.
20:49He immediately runs after me.
20:54We return to the home
20:56we have lived in
20:57for seven years.
20:58Ethan comes closer,
20:59reaching out to hold me,
21:01apologizing sincerely.
21:02There won't be a next time.
21:05Just this once.
21:07I shove his arm away.
21:09Don't touch me!
21:10Ethan does not dare
21:11to come for closer.
21:12He keeps begging for forgiveness.
21:14Honey,
21:16I'm sorry.
21:17I really lost my head
21:19for a moment.
21:21I promise
21:22I'll cut her off.
21:24From now on,
21:25our family
21:25will live a good life together.
21:27Okay?
21:28My in-laws come back.
21:29My mother-in-law speaks
21:31with a trace of guilt,
21:32her tone heavy.
21:33Claire,
21:34I know
21:34this has hurt you deeply,
21:37but there's nothing
21:38I can do.
21:39That child out there
21:40is still Ethan's.
21:42I hope
21:43you don't dwell on this.
21:45Just live your life
21:47as usual.
21:48My father-in-law adds,
21:50this is already
21:51blown up today.
21:52Let's not bring it up again.
21:55Just
21:57live your life
21:58properly.
22:01This marriage
22:02is over.
22:04Ethan,
22:06you disgust me.
22:09My eyes
22:10re-reddens
22:10despite myself.
22:12He looks at me
22:13helplessly.
22:14Then tell me,
22:16what will it take
22:18for you to forgive me?
22:19As long as I can do it,
22:21I'll do anything for you.
22:24Hatred surges up
22:25from deep inside me.
22:26The words spill out.
22:29Then,
22:30go die.
22:31Just go die!
22:36I go back to the bedroom
22:37and lock the door.
22:40Still in my shoes,
22:41I step onto the bed.
22:45I take the photo down
22:47and stab Ethan's face
22:48over and over
22:49with scissors.
22:52The deeper I once loved,
22:54the deeper I now hate.
22:57It tears my heart apart.
23:00Outside the door,
23:02Ethan keeps trying
23:03to coax me.
23:04Claire,
23:06please,
23:07open.
23:14After I calm down,
23:17I start packing
23:18my personal belongings.
23:20I send a message
23:22to my lawyer
23:22that I want a divorce.
