Short filmTranscript
00:00My mob boss husband drove me home. I was eight months pregnant.
00:03Get out.
00:04I didn't react.
00:05What did you say?
00:06He kept looking straight ahead.
00:07Sister-in-law's power went out. She's home alone and scared. I have to go fix it for her.
00:11I couldn't believe it. My phone buzzed again. He lost patience.
00:15He opened the door and roughly pulled me out of the backseat.
00:20Sister-in-law is scared of the dark. She can't wait.
00:23You're only eight months pregnant. Waiting on the highway won't kill you.
00:27Someone will pick you up in half an hour.
00:30I watched Brian's car speed away.
00:35I tried hard to protect my belly, but a dull ache made me break out in a cold sweat.
00:39My heart sank to the bottom.
00:41A car stopped. The window rolled down. The woman driver looked concerned.
00:46What's wrong with you?
00:47My shaking hands clenched into fists. I barely forced out a few words.
00:51I think I'm about to give birth.
00:54Shit.
00:55She cursed under her breath.
00:56She quickly helped me into her car. Seeing my face turn paler, she asked anxiously,
01:02Where's your husband?
01:03I had no answer for that. I was carrying Brian's child.
01:06I was close to giving birth, but it meant less than a power outage at his sister-in-law's place.
01:10He didn't even worry about me as much as a stranger did.
01:13Pain hit me suddenly.
01:14I quickly took a deep breath. I waited for the contraction to pass.
01:18I took out my phone and called Brian. He hung up without hesitation.
01:21Once, twice, three times, until the 16th call, he finally answered impatiently.
01:28What now?
01:29It was very quiet on the other end. But just two seconds later, I heard Chloe's voice.
01:34Brian, the power is still out. I'm so scared.
01:37Hearing that, Brian had no patience to listen to me. He left only one sentence.
01:41My men will be there soon. You behave yourself.
01:45Then he hung up. The words, I'm in labor, got stuck in my throat.
01:49A warm fluid ran down between my legs.
01:51The female driver tried to pull over right away.
01:54All lanes were completely stuck in traffic.
01:56Some drivers even blocked the emergency lane.
01:59She hit the steering wheel hard and swore loudly.
02:01But she turned to me and said,
02:03Don't worry, you'll be okay.
02:04She stuck her head out and yelled,
02:06Make way! A woman is in labor!
02:08But the long man of constant number was gone.
02:10I tried to calm down and called Jake, Brian's right-hand man.
02:13If they cleared the road, my baby and I could be saved.
02:18Dona, what's wrong?
02:19Another sharp pain hit me hard.
02:21I gritted my teeth and tried to explain quickly.
02:23I'm in labor. We're stuck on the highway.
02:26He cut me off with a cold laugh.
02:28Boss said you always fake it. Eight months can't be labor.
02:32He hung up the phone without mercy.
02:34She jumped out and banged on every car door.
02:36Please make way! A pregnant woman is about to give birth!
02:40It's a matter of life and death.
02:43Please help us!
02:45I lay back on the seat and called Brian again.
02:47This was my last hope.
02:48His phone was off.
02:50I called again, but it was still off.
02:52Just as I lost all hope.
02:55Horns blared outside.
02:56Windows rolled out.
02:57Make way ahead!
02:59Someone is having a baby!
03:00The emergency lane finally opened up.
03:02The female driver sped forward as fast as she could.
03:05They hit another traffic jam just five minutes from the highway exit.
03:08She honked non-stop, yet the car's head never moved.
03:11The pain in my belly came faster and stronger.
03:13Mixed amniotic fluid and blood dripped inside the car.
03:16Cold sweat soaked my whole body.
03:18I passed out and woke up again from the pain.
03:20I could not tell when I was awake or unconscious.
03:22When I woke up, the driver was arguing with a man outside.
03:25The emergency lane is for saving lives.
03:27You'll kill someone!
03:28The man spat on the ground and looked very rude.
03:31Everyone is stuck here!
03:32Go yell at the cars in front!
03:34Stop provoking me, or I will hurt you.
03:37I saw him try to hit the female driver.
03:40I held back the pain and went out to protect her.
03:43I really am giving birth.
03:45Please let us pass.
03:46I used all my strength and fell to my knees.
03:49Blood stained the snow on the road.
03:51The man quickly jumped back into his car.
03:54Don't frame me for this!
03:55It's not my fault!
03:56Many people saw my terrible condition.
03:57They walked forward and knocked on every car window.
04:00This pregnant woman cannot hold on anymore!
04:03Please help her!
04:04We all have families!
04:06The sharp pain came again.
04:08My vision turned blurry.
04:10All cars ahead would decide to open the lane.
04:13Some cars even scratched themselves to make more space.
04:16They helped me get back into the car gently.
04:18Don't be afraid.
04:19The hospital is very close now.
04:21Thank you so much!
04:23The female driver smiled softly.
04:25We save you for anyone who needs help someday.
04:28But only two minutes later, patrol cars blocked their way.
04:32Brian's follower Jake got out of the car.
04:34He frowned.
04:35You dare cause trouble on our road?
04:37And hit another car?
04:39The female driver tried to explain.
04:41You female drivers are all reckless.
04:43We should ban you from the road.
04:44She didn't get a word out.
04:46Then she heard me scream.
04:47She rushed back to help me.
04:49She wiped the sweat off my forehead.
04:50Hold on.
04:51Five minutes to the hospital.
04:53Jake walked over.
04:55He saw me.
04:56His eyes looked suspicious.
04:58Sister-in-law, why are you here?
05:00I bit my finger hard.
05:01I forced myself to stay awake.
05:02I'm giving birth.
05:04You guys...
05:05Before I finished, Jake's phone rang.
05:07Boss, we found Dona.
05:10But...
05:10He glanced at me, confused.
05:13She looks like she's giving birth.
05:15No way.
05:15Her due date is a month away.
05:17She's just jealous of Chloe.
05:18Ignore her.
05:19Let her sit there and reflect on herself.
05:21My head started spinning.
05:22The pain felt like tearing me apart.
05:24I screamed, and then everything went black.
05:26I woke up again in the hospital.
05:28I heard the nurses talking.
05:29I learned I was in surgery for a whole day.
05:31I lay on the bed, weak.
05:32My belly still hurts.
05:33I knew, the baby was gone.
05:35I didn't have time to be sad.
05:37Brian walked in.
05:38Chloe followed behind her.
05:39She looked upset.
05:40Brian threw a diaper on the sofa.
05:42Joy, you're making trouble again.
05:45You said you were giving birth.
05:47So where's the baby?
05:48He didn't care at all.
05:49I laughed bitterly and said nothing.
05:51Chloe patted her chest.
05:52Joy, you didn't have to do this.
05:54Brian and I are innocent.
05:55You just want to make me look bad.
05:56You made a huge scene.
05:58Aren't you embarrassed?
05:59It was just a power outage.
06:00Why are you making such a big deal?
06:03Embarrassed?
06:03I grabbed the sheet.
06:05If giving my husband a baby is embarrassing, then you calling someone else's husband away
06:09from his pregnant wife just because your power went out?
06:13Isn't that even more shameless?
06:15I know having a baby is important, but I'm a Newman alone in the dark.
06:19I was really scared.
06:20If Brian hadn't come quickly, I've heard in the dark all night.
06:23Right.
06:24He fixed the power.
06:26Brian got there in time.
06:29So she didn't have to be scared of the dark anymore.
06:33I couldn't hold back my sadness and anger.
06:36I grabbed a cup from the table.
06:37I threw it hard at them.
06:40But my baby is gone.
06:42I'll never see him again.
06:44What do you mean the baby is gone?
06:47Saying that on Christmas Eve?
06:49You're so unlucky.
06:51You don't deserve to be a mother.
06:53If he had just asked a nurse or looked at me with any care, he would have known what had
06:58happened.
06:58But he did nothing.
06:59He just blamed me.
07:01Before my brother died, he told me to take care of Chloe.
07:03She's a widow.
07:04The power went out.
07:05She was scared at home alone.
07:06How could I ignore her?
07:07Besides, you lied just to compete with her.
07:08You got the whole family's enforcers involved.
07:10You're unbelievable.
07:11My poor baby.
07:14He should have been born into a happy family.
07:17He should have felt the warmth of this world.
07:20But because of a power outage, he died on that cold highway.
07:23He didn't even get to see this world.
07:25My heart turned to ash.
07:27I closed my eyes.
07:28My shaking hand pointed at the door.
07:30Get out!
07:31Brian couldn't believe it.
07:33He stared at me.
07:34You're telling me to get out?
07:35He grabbed my wrist and squeezed so hard.
07:37I put aside family business to see you.
07:40And this is how you act?
07:42He was so upset.
07:43His collar moved a little.
07:44I saw red marks on his neck.
07:46That sight hurt my eyes.
07:48Chloe tugged Brian's sleeve from behind.
07:50Brian was always angry.
07:51Brian, don't be like this.
07:53She's still pregnant.
07:55But after hearing that, he calmed down a little.
07:57He still looked down on me.
07:59If you were half as good as Chloe, we wouldn't be like this.
08:02I couldn't fight anymore.
08:03I was about to lie down.
08:04Then Chloe walked closer to me.
08:06She bent down near me.
08:09Joy?
08:10I know.
08:12She stepped on purpose.
08:14She slammed into my belly.
08:19She fell on the floor.
08:21What?
08:24Chloe acted hurt.
08:26Chloe, are you okay?
08:28Brian helped her up gently.
08:29The pain shot through me.
08:31I held my belly.
08:33My face was pale.
08:34I leaned on the pillow.
08:37Joy, why did you push me?
08:39He only saw her.
08:40He didn't notice I couldn't even groan.
08:42Brian felt so bad for her.
08:44I laughed bitterly inside.
08:45If the baby was still there, that hit would have killed me.
08:49Brian, I'm okay.
08:51I was just so scared.
08:55I just asked Brian to fix a fuse.
08:57Then Chloe ran at me.
08:58Are you so jealous you had to push me?
09:01She shook my arm hard.
09:02It hurt.
09:03I tried to push her off, but I had no strength.
09:06I did nothing.
09:07Chloe did it again.
09:08She fell backward.
09:09Brian caught her just in time.
09:11She leaned on him.
09:11Tears fell.
09:13Brian, I'm so scared to be alone.
09:16Not without you.
09:17Brian calmed her down.
09:19Then he walked to me.
09:20His face was dark.
09:21He pulled me off the bed.
09:22I hit the floor hard.
09:24He dragged me toward Chloe.
09:25No!
09:39Joy!
09:41Apologize to Chloe!
09:42He stopped mid-sentence.
09:44He saw my big belly.
09:45It was half gone.
09:47My baby is gone.
09:49His face turned white.
09:50His voice shook.
09:51Your belly!
09:52What happened?
09:53Where...
09:54Where is the baby?
09:55Then the door kicked open.
09:56The woman driver came in.
09:58She glared at Brian.
09:59The baby is gone!
10:00He died on the highway.
10:02Where you left her!
10:03Brian's hand shook.
10:04He stepped back again and again.
10:06He shook his head.
10:07He whispered to himself,
10:08No!
10:08This can't be.
10:09The female driver ignored him.
10:11She helped me get to bed.
10:12She pressed the call button.
10:14You just had a miscarriage.
10:16You're very weak.
10:17You need to rest.
10:19Brian never cared about me.
10:20Not once since he walked in.
10:21But this stranger helped me.
10:23She paid my hospital bill.
10:24She even took care of me all day.
10:26Warmth filled my heart.
10:27Tears fell from my eyes.
10:29I didn't know what else to say.
10:31She wiped my tears gently.
10:33It's okay.
10:34We're both women.
10:36We should take care of each other.
10:37Before she finished,
10:38Brian pulled her away from me.
10:40He stared at me.
10:42Joy, what are you playing at?
10:44Where is the baby?
10:45I didn't want to talk to him.
10:46I turned my head away.
10:47Chloe laughed coldly.
10:49You're so vengeful.
10:52Fine.
10:52You had the baby and didn't tell Brian.
10:55But now you're hiding the baby?
10:57You're so cruel.
10:58Brian squeezed my wrist tighter.
10:59I'm the father.
11:00I have a right to see my child.
11:02If you keep acting crazy,
11:03I'll divorce you.
11:05Brian had talked about divorce before.
11:07Many times.
11:09Always because of Chloe.
11:10In the past, I would get upset.
11:12I would apologize.
11:13I would beg him to forgive me.
11:15But this time, I just glanced at him.
11:17My voice was cold.
11:18Then let's get a divorce.
11:20Brian's body shook.
11:21He looked at me in disbelief.
11:22Do you know what you're saying?
11:24Of course I knew what I was saying.
11:26Too bad Brian had no idea what he was doing.
11:29He frowned and glanced at me.
11:30Forget it.
11:31For the baby's sake, I'll let it go.
11:33Just tell me where the baby is.
11:35Then I'll forgive you.
11:37The baby?
11:37If he really cared about the baby,
11:40my child wouldn't be a cold corpse.
11:43Every word he said stabbed my heart.
11:46I couldn't hold back my anger anymore.
11:49I slapped him hard across the face.
11:51The baby is dead!
11:53You have no baby!
11:55You'll never see him again!
11:57At first, Brian was shocked.
11:59Now he was really annoyed.
12:01Joy, my patience is running out.
12:03Stop lying to me.
12:03Where is the baby?
12:05Tell me and I'll forgive you.
12:06I won't divorce you.
12:07Chloe snorted next to me.
12:09To keep Brian from seeing the baby,
12:11you really are creative.
12:13Saying something so evil.
12:15Just then, a nurse walked in.
12:17She checked my face.
12:18She said my name.
12:19Joy, you just had a miscarriage.
12:22You need to...
12:24What did you say?
12:26What miscarriage?
12:27After learning Brian was the father,
12:28the nurse shot him a dirty look.
12:30She was in emergency surgery.
12:32You weren't there.
12:33She had a miscarriage.
12:34You weren't there.
12:35Now you come here acting like you care?
12:37The whole floor knew what had happened.
12:38No one had anything nice to say to him,
12:40but Brian didn't care about that now.
12:42He grabbed my hand tightly,
12:43like I was his last hope.
12:44He looked at me like he was begging.
12:46Joy, tell me it's not true.
12:47You're just mad I left you on the highway,
12:49so you got them to lie to me, right?
12:51He thought too highly of me,
12:52like I could get a whole hospital to lie.
12:54If you don't believe us,
12:56call your brother.
12:57He knows everything.
12:58When I was barely conscious,
13:00I heard the woman driver begging Jake on the highway,
13:02but Jake still thought I was faking.
13:04Jake told her,
13:04Don't be fooled by her.
13:05Our boss said she lies all the time.
13:07She's just jealous about the power outage.
13:09Now she's blocking the emergency lane.
13:11So embarrassing.
13:12The woman driver got mad.
13:13She slapped him.
13:14You've never given birth.
13:15Fine, you don't know what labor looks like,
13:17but are you blind too?
13:18Can't you see the blood on her?
13:20Maybe he saw blood.
13:20Jake finally woke up.
13:21He drove the family's car.
13:23He cleared the way.
13:24A five-minute drive took only three minutes.
13:26Right before I passed out,
13:27I heard the doctor sigh.
13:28The baby can't be saved.
13:29They said he was just one minute too late.
13:31The baby's heart had already stopped.
13:33If they got there one minute earlier,
13:35maybe the baby could have lived,
13:36and that minute was lost because of Brian's phone call.
13:39If he had just believed me,
13:41if he hadn't told Jake to stop me,
13:42the baby would have lived.
13:44Thinking about it made my heart hurt.
13:45I couldn't breathe.
13:46Brian was still fumbling about his phone.
13:48I looked at him coldly.
13:49I need an IV.
13:51Can you please stop bothering me?
13:52The patient needs rest.
13:54Please leave now.
13:55Brian let go.
13:56His eyes were red.
13:57Joy, I'll come back when you're rested.
13:59When he turned around,
14:00I saw tears on his face.
14:02Maybe he was sorry.
14:03Maybe he was heartbroken.
14:04But to me, it didn't matter anymore.
14:06To let me rest,
14:07the woman driver left.
14:08She gave me her number so I could pay her back.
14:10I lay in bed.
14:11I watched the IV drip.
14:12My heart was dead.
14:13Maybe it was medicine.
14:14Maybe I was just too tired.
14:16I closed my eyes.
14:17I was almost asleep.
14:19Then I heard arguing outside.
14:20Brian, how can you blame me?
14:22Your baby's life mattered.
14:23But being scared of dark matters too.
14:26Having a baby?
14:28Every woman can do that.
14:29She's just useless.
14:31She couldn't even keep the baby alive.
14:33So in the end, was it still my fault?
14:35I found it so ironic,
14:37but it didn't matter what they thought.
14:39Once I got out of the hospital,
14:41I would divorce Brian immediately.
14:42Just as I thought that,
14:44I heard Chloe scream outside.
14:45Brian, you hit me?
14:47Chloe was Brian's sister-in-law.
14:48His brother lived overseas.
14:50But the year he came back,
14:51he got into a car accident.
14:53They couldn't save him in time.
14:54He died.
14:55His last words were for Brian.
14:57Take care of Chloe.
14:59After that, Brian was so good to her.
15:01He even bought her the house next door,
15:03just to make it easy.
15:04We'd been married for years.
15:05He never cooked me one meal.
15:07But when Chloe said she was scared of the dark,
15:09Scared of a power outage,
15:11he went running.
15:12At first, I felt a little bad.
15:14But I didn't think much of it.
15:15It was his brother's last wish.
15:17But Chloe got worse and worse.
15:19She'd walk around our house in her pajamas.
15:21She'd press herself against Brian.
15:23When I had a fever,
15:24she called him away because she was scared.
15:26I couldn't take it anymore.
15:27I said something a few times.
15:29But Brian always said I was jealous.
15:31She's my sister-in-law.
15:33Can you not be so disgusting?
15:34So Brian always did what she said.
15:36He always took her side.
15:38Maybe they were already together.
15:39I just never thought Brian would hit her.
15:41Chloe, if you didn't cry about the blackout,
15:43I'd never leave Joy on the highway
15:44and she wouldn't lose the baby.
15:45You told me eight months was safe.
15:46Nothing would happen.
15:47Now my baby is gone.
15:48Gone!
15:48Dogs biting dogs.
15:50Listening to them blame each other,
15:51I just felt sick.
15:52My IV was almost done.
15:54I reached for the call button.
15:55The noise outside stopped.
15:57Brian walked in, looking tired.
15:59There were five finger marks on his face.
16:01Chloe must have slapped him back.
16:03Before, I would have felt bad.
16:04Now I don't care.
16:05He saw me reaching for the button.
16:07He rushed over.
16:08Honey, don't move.
16:09Let me.
16:09That word used to be so sweet.
16:11Now it just made me sick.
16:13I frowned and moved away.
16:14I didn't want him touching me.
16:16His phone rang.
16:17Jake's voice was full of despair.
16:18Boss, I'm done.
16:19I'm losing power.
16:20Blocking the road.
16:21Failing at my job.
16:22The family is kicking me out.
16:23I'm going to jail for years.
16:25Brian didn't say much after hearing Jake.
16:27He just hung up quietly.
16:29Seeing him like this,
16:30I felt something was off.
16:31I looked at him.
16:32Aren't you scared?
16:33He sat next to me and smiled bitterly.
16:35What's there to be scared of?
16:37I deserve all this.
16:38Only an hour had passed
16:40since he learned the baby was gone.
16:41But Brian's hair was already turning gray.
16:43I suddenly remembered.
16:44We used to love each other so much.
16:47We'd curl up on the sofa
16:48and talk about the future.
16:49When the time comes,
16:51have a son.
16:52I glared at him.
16:53What, do you like boys more?
16:54He just pinched my nose.
16:56I just thought if it's a son,
16:58he can protect you.
16:58But honestly,
16:59boy or girl,
17:00I'll love them.
17:00If it's a girl,
17:01I'll protect you both.
17:02I'll put you both on a pedestal.
17:03Back then,
17:04we had each other in our future.
17:06When I got pregnant,
17:07Brian was so careful.
17:08He put thick rugs everywhere
17:10so I wouldn't slip.
17:11No matter how busy he was,
17:13he came home
17:14and talked to my belly.
17:15So the baby knows I'm his dad.
17:17We were so excited for the baby.
17:19We wanted to give him the world.
17:20I don't know how it all went so wrong.
17:22I was lost in thought.
17:24Brian tucked the blanket around me.
17:25Joy,
17:26I know you won't forgive me,
17:28but please,
17:28give me a chance.
17:29Let me stay by your side.
17:31Let me make up for it.
17:32Please.
17:33He cried as he spoke.
17:34His eyes were full of sadness.
17:36I laughed inside.
17:37I fell once.
17:38Why would I fall again?
17:40I...
17:40Before I could finish,
17:41the door opened.
17:42Family members stood there.
17:44They stared coldly at Brian.
17:45He saw them and got up.
17:47Can we talk outside?
17:48My wife isn't well.
17:50I don't want to bother her.
17:51They nodded.
17:52Brian turned and smiled bitterly.
17:54He kissed my forehead.
17:56Joy,
17:56I know you won't forgive me.
17:58I can't forgive myself either,
18:01but I hope you'll be okay.
18:02Then he walked out,
18:03stumbling.
18:04I don't know what they said.
18:05I don't know what punishment he got.
18:06I didn't see him again for days.
18:09Maybe he went to jail too,
18:10like Jake.
18:11The day I left the hospital,
18:13Mia picked me up.
18:14She was the female driver.
18:15She held my arm carefully.
18:17Slow down.
18:18Watch your step.
18:19I was about to laugh at her.
18:20Then Chloe stood in front of me.
18:22She glared at me with anger.
18:24Joy,
18:25look what you did to me.
18:26Happy now?
18:27I was confused,
18:28but I didn't want to deal with her.
18:30I glanced at her coldly.
18:31Then Mia and I walked past her.
18:33Joy,
18:35Joy,
18:35don't you want to know
18:36what Brian and I did those two days?
18:38The red marks on Brian's neck
18:40flashed in my mind.
18:41Mia got upset.
18:42She stood in front of me.
18:44You homewrecker.
18:45Have no shame.
18:46Your story is all over the internet,
18:48and you dare come after Joy?
18:50I had nothing else to do in the hospital,
18:52so I scrolled on my phone.
18:54Someone put Chloe's story online.
18:56The video went viral on TikTok.
18:57Everyone said she was shameless.
18:59A homewrecker.
19:00She tried to kill the wife and baby.
19:02She called a husband away for a power outage.
19:04So selfish.
19:06People thought she lied about the outage.
19:08Some doubted the story was real.
19:09Chloe went live,
19:10crying.
19:11She said I was just trying to get attention.
19:13She said her and Brian were innocent.
19:15She said the baby was fine all along.
19:17I was just lying for sympathy and views.
19:21The comments were split.
19:23Then drivers from the highway spoke up.
19:26Someone posted a video of me suffering.
19:29That proved it.
19:30Chloe ended up hurting herself.
19:31Now she was ruined.
19:33I knew Mia was scared Chloe would hurt me again.
19:35I just smiled and patted her hand.
19:38I'm fine.
19:40Then I looked up at Chloe.
19:42What did you two do?
19:43Why would I care?
19:45He's trash.
19:47If you want him, take him.
19:50He's in jail now though.
19:51If you can't let go, just wait for him.
19:53I pulled out the property transfer papers.
19:55But Brian sent these two days ago.
19:58He put all his real estate and trusts in my name.
20:02Oh, and that includes the villa where you're living right now.
20:05Chloe looked at me in disbelief.
20:06No way!
20:07Brian would never do that to me.
20:09I was left to him by his brother.
20:11He promised to take care of me.
20:14I laughed coldly.
20:15Yes, his brother left you to him.
20:18But you also helped kill his baby.
20:20Any woman can have a baby.
20:21But we all get to choose who we have them.
20:24You?
20:25You throw yourself at men.
20:27And they still don't want you.
20:29I tapped her shoulder with the papers.
20:31Instead of wasting time on me, you should think about where you'll live.
20:34When I got home, I went to the nursery.
20:36The baby's clothes were still hanging there.
20:38On the play mat, there was a rocking horse and a little slide.
20:40Brian had prepared all of this.
20:42He even made the horse and slid himself.
20:44I gently turned the mobile over the crib.
20:46I used to imagine every day what it would be like after the baby was born.
20:50He might lie in the crib and smile at me.
20:52He might crawl on the mat.
20:53He might sit on the horse and turn his head to look at me.
20:56He might open his arms on the slide and ask me to catch him.
20:59I never thought it would end like this.
21:01The memories hit me like a wave.
21:03Tears poured from my eyes.
21:04Mia turned away and wiped her eyes too.
21:06Don't think about it.
21:07The baby would want you to be okay.
21:10I knew that.
21:11But missing someone hurts the most.
21:14I said I should pack these things away.
21:16Out of sight, out of mind.
21:18I shook my head.
21:20These are all the proof he was here.
21:22Mia stopped trying.
21:23I spent three days cleaning the house.
21:25I packed up everything that belonged to Brian.
21:28I threw it all out.
21:29Brian's mother found out.
21:30She called me crying.
21:32She didn't ask me to forgive Brian.
21:34She just wanted to see me, but I wasn't ready.
21:36I said no.
21:37After I was done, I put all of Brian's properties up for sale,
21:41including the villa where Chloe lived.
21:43Mia was worried.
21:44Chloe still won't move out.
21:45Can you even sell it?
21:47I smiled.
21:48I paid the agent extra.
21:49They'll find a way to kick her out.
21:51Mia gave me a thumbs up.
21:52I didn't know you had this side.
21:54Before Brian, I was pretty sharp too.
21:56Love just made me blind.
21:58I almost lost myself.
22:00So after you sell the house, where will you go?
22:03I thought for a moment.
22:04A small town in Northern Europe.
22:06I've always wanted to go there.
22:08The day I left, Mia saw me off.
22:10She shoved bags into my hands.
22:12You trying to give me your whole house?
22:14She looked sad.
22:15I wish I could pack myself in the car too.
22:17But she had her own life to live.
22:19We hugged.
22:21Mia, it was so good to meet you.
22:23You saved my life.
22:24Me too.
22:25I went far away to a small town.
22:28I stayed there for a year and a half.
22:30One day, I got a package.
22:31It was the divorce papers.
22:33Brian must have gotten out of jail.
22:35I could have filed for divorce myself while he was inside.
22:37But we had genuinely loved each other once.
22:39I wanted to end it nicely.
22:41So I sent him a letter.
22:42I asked him to cooperate when he got out.
22:43I opened the small dark red book.
22:45A piece of paper fell out.
22:47It had just one sentence.
22:48Joy, I'm sorry.
22:49Tears fell from my eyes.
22:51They landed on paper.
22:52They blurred the words.
22:53I folded the paper.
22:54I threw it into the burning fireplace.
22:55It burned completely.
22:57The past was already smoke.
22:58This apology should turn to ash too.
