06:00She needs to rise. She needs to face it.
06:02Dr. Grant, if I want to induce labor now.
06:05Mrs. West, I don't know what happened between you, but you are already 32 weeks.
06:10The baby is almost due. Inducing labor now is bad for both of you.
06:15You'd end a life before it even began.
06:17Cold floor, cold heart. She felt the new life stirring.
06:21I understand. Thank you.
06:22The doctor left her to ponder.
06:24This child is mine. From now on, he'll have nothing to do with Roman.
06:28I will divorce him. I will leave with the child. Raise him alone.
06:32As Tessa emerged from the clinic, the last person she wanted to see stood there.
06:36Roman West stood at the payment counter, unaware of the encounter to come.
06:39Tessa, are you really unwell?
06:41Yes, you pushed me to the ground yourself. Don't you remember?
06:44I'm sorry. I was too hasty then. Are you hurt?
06:47How is Elena's child?
06:48Very lucky. He is fine. Otherwise, a life would have been lost.
06:52You can't lose control like that again, okay? He is just a child.
06:56How could you lay hands on him?
06:58In your heart, am I really that kind of person?
07:00What if Elena intentionally rushed me? Would you believe me?
07:04Tessa, enough. Stop slendering her. It has been three years.
07:07Why are you still like this?
07:09Roman West, you said you agreed to divorce before. Does it still count?
07:13Tess, don't be like this. You are eight months pregnant.
07:16Why talk about divorce now?
07:17I was angry. Then don't take it seriously.
07:19I will not divorce you.
07:21Are you not worried about your son being called illegitimate?
07:24I just don't want to lose you.
07:25You are the only woman I have ever loved.
07:28My feelings for Elena are not love, but responsibility.
07:32Ryan was my best friend. He entrusted her to me before he died.
07:36I cannot just live like this. You know she has depression.
07:39Is the cure for depression sleeping with you and getting pregnant with your child?
07:43Roman, for her, what else will you sacrifice?
07:45The child is here now.
07:47Once she recovers, I will not touch her again.
07:50If this truly bothers you, we can give the child up for adoption.
07:53Are you serious, Roman? Are you really going to send me and your son away?
07:57I understand. I comprehend.
07:59I will take him and disappear.
08:01We will never appear before you again.
08:03Elena turned and fled her shoulders, trembling with every fragile step.
08:07Damn it.
08:07Roman, don't go.
08:08I'm sorry. I cannot risk anything happening to Elena.
08:12Roman tore free and left Tessa standing alone.
08:14Her heart shattered. She felt something deep inside her finally stop.
08:18No shattering, no explosion, just death. You can't let her go. Very well, I will let you go.
08:23You don't deserve to be my husband, nor the father of my child.
08:27Tessa returned home alone, packing her bags, only after she packed everything.
08:32Mrs. West, what happened?
08:33Excuse me.
08:34What did you say? This morning, Mr. West called. He just left my office.
08:39In that case, please proceed quickly, Mr. Wade.
08:41She hung up the phone and opened Instagram. On the screen was a photo of Roman washing Elena's
08:46feet. The caption read,
08:48Only deep love can bear children for her.
08:50He once said he was a germaphobe and willing to touch my feet.
08:53It turned out his germaphobia was only for me.
08:57Rage surged within her.
08:58She grabbed the scissors.
08:59The first cut slashed his face.
09:01She kept cutting until the photo was in pieces.
09:04She tore the remaining pieces.
09:05Then she threw the pieces towards the bedroom door.
09:08At that very moment, the door opened.
09:10Roman, please talk calmly with Mrs. Reed, okay?
09:13Don't argue with her because of me.
09:15She slipped past Roman, towards the guest room, as if this room had been waiting for
09:20her. Roman placed the broken frame, then turned to Tessa.
09:23I had intended for Elena to stay longer at the rehab center.
09:26But since you already know, I can't leave her there alone.
09:30We are lucky. The baby's fine.
09:32Elena knows you didn't mean it.
09:33She has forgiven you.
09:34Tessa promised me, don't harm the baby again.
09:37Tessa looked at him without a word.
09:39Roman took out thick documents and handed them to Tessa.
09:42Roman West's name was boldly signed.
09:44Tessa Elena isn't trying to take anything from you.
09:47She only wants the child to be rightfully in the West family.
09:50So I thought we could finalize the divorce first.
09:52Once the child is officially registered, we will remarry.
09:56A month at most, I swear.
09:58He stepped forward as if to embrace Tessa.
10:00Tessa leaned back, avoiding his embrace.
10:02Go show Elena. I'm sure she will be thrilled.
10:05This is my Tessa. Always so generous, so kind.
10:08He turned and almost ran out of the bedroom.
10:10Tessa watched his back disappear.
10:12A bitter smile touched her lips.
10:14Roman West, did you never think?
10:16When a woman no longer cares what you do, it's because she no longer loves you?
10:20That night, Roman didn't return to the bedroom.
10:23At 2 a.m., a fierce leg cramp struck.
10:25Roman, my leg is cramping.
10:27Before she finished speaking, a woman's voice came through.
10:30From the receiver, everything was clear.
10:32The rustle of sheets, Elena's soft laughter, and Roman's low voice.
10:36Every sound was a blow.
10:37Her heart torn apart.
10:39The leg pain persisted, but the heartache was worse.
10:41She stared at the ceiling, thoughts drifting back.
10:44He once said if he knew pregnancy was so hard, he wouldn't want a child.
10:48Now those hands were on someone else.
10:50She admitted she lost, but wouldn't lose herself.
10:53That night was her turning point.
10:55She started counting down, waiting for the divorce papers.
10:58She booked a one-way ticket, planning a new life without Roman.
11:01Oh, Roman, I'm so happy.
11:03Finally marrying you, even if it's just for a month.
11:06I've wronged you.
11:07You shouldn't have suffered.
11:08I promise from now on, I'll care for you and our son.
11:11Roman, I love you so much.
11:12I love you too.
11:13Roman and Elena no longer hid.
11:15They kissed by the restaurant's window.
11:17Evening, Tessa sat by the pool.
11:19The sun set, her legs in the water.
11:21A picture book on her lap, she habitually read.
11:24She was relaxed.
11:25Tomorrow she'd get divorced.
11:27Tonight was her last night in this mansion.
11:29Yet even that piece seemed hard to keep.
11:31Oh, look at you, Tessa.
11:33Tessa looked up.
11:34How romantic.
11:35Reading, swimming, enjoying the sunset.
11:37You're getting divorced tomorrow, yet so relaxed.
11:40Tessa slowly closed the book.
11:42Elena smiled.
11:43Oh, by the way, that day you called Roman.
11:46I let him answer.
11:47I just wanted you to hear how well we click.
11:50I love him and he loves me.
11:52He said you were stiff.
11:53Too boring, couldn't stand it.
11:55Tessa clutched the book.
11:56Her only reaction.
11:57Tomorrow is my baby's full moon party.
12:00You'll come, won't you?
12:01To support your little nephew.
12:02After all, you're his dear aunt.
12:04After Snow White's mother passed, her father married a new queen.
12:08Enough of this childish nonsense.
12:10The book fell with a splash.
12:12Pages soaked and ink spread.
12:14Are you deaf, didn't you hear me?
12:16Go pick up the book.
12:17I won't pick up anything.
12:18What are you going to do?
12:19If you don't pick it up, don't blame me for what happens.
12:22Roman West emerged from the villa.
12:24Roman is here now.
12:26This will teach her a lesson.
12:27The silver pendant sank swiftly.
12:29Read don't, that's my amulet.
12:31Roman blessed it for my son.
12:33What are you talking about?
12:34You threw it yourself.
12:36Tessa, what have you done?
12:37Roman, I cannot stay here anymore.
12:39She wishes my son to die.
12:40She said he doesn't deserve it.
12:42And should have died already.
12:44She called him a bastard child.
12:45Did you really say those things?
12:47You agreed to the divorce to give Elena peace.
12:50Was this all a lie?
12:52I never said those words.
12:54She threw the amulet herself.
12:55The priest said no water.
12:57Elena would never risk our son.
12:59What is wrong with you?
13:00Aren't you afraid of karma?
13:02You curse our child for hers.
13:04You don't know what she is like.
13:05She hurt your child.
13:07To frame me a piece of metal is nothing.
13:09Enough.
13:10Shut up.
13:11Roman's hand struck Tessa's cheek.
13:12Tessa stumbled losing balance.
13:14Her eyes showed shock and despair.
13:16She plunged into the cold water.
13:18The icy water consumed her.
13:20A sharp pain shot through her.
13:21Don't act, Tessa.
13:23You can swim.
13:24Find the amulet yourself.
13:25Hey, come here.
13:26Two guards ran towards them.
13:28Watch her.
13:29She stays in there until she finds the amulet.
13:32If she fails, she never comes up.
13:34Sir, Mrs. West is pregnant.
13:35What if the baby is harmed?
13:37Perhaps we should let it go.
13:38What if she has a miscarriage?
13:40Since when does being pregnant mean you can't swim?
13:44She thinks just because she's carrying my child, she can disobey my orders.
13:48Come on, Lena.
13:49Let's go inside.
13:51If she loses the baby, that's on her.
13:52She did this to herself.
13:54She remembered his red eyes.
13:56Promised to protect her and their child.
13:58Now he pushed her into the cold pool, leaving her to fend for herself.
14:02Ma'am, please, you should try to find it.
14:05You are almost full term.
14:07If you stay in there, you might get hurt.
14:09Despite the pain, she dived into the water.
14:12She searched for the pendant, her only hope in this cold world.
14:16She surfaced for air, then dove back into the deep.
14:20It's ten o'clock.
14:22Shell be in big trouble.
14:23We can't just drag her out.
14:25You heard, Mr. West.
14:26If we disobey him, we'll lose our jobs.
14:28As dawn broke, the water grew colder.
14:31She kept diving for the pendant.
14:33Her unborn child kicked violently.
14:35She felt liquid flowing down.
14:38Get her out now and call Mr. West.
14:40The guards pulled her out and tried to reach her husband.
14:43What is it, Romans with our son?
14:45He's busy.
14:46He already told you.
14:48She can't leave without the pendant.
14:50The call was disconnected, leaving them to despair.
14:53Screw this.
14:54She and the baby will die.
14:55The guards knew they had to act against their master's wishes.
14:58Stay with us, Mom.
15:00You won't die like this, okay?
15:02She imagined Roman and Elena enjoying a perfect family night.
15:06While she and her baby bled, hanging by a thread in the dark.
15:10They rushed her to the emergency room.
15:12A race against time.
15:13Pain gripped her like a fist.
15:15Her vision blurred, her hearing faded.
15:18Possible placental abruption.
15:19Massive hemorrhage.
15:21Save my baby.
15:22Please save my baby.
15:23You are going to be okay.
15:25We will do everything we can.
15:27Where's the family?
15:28We need a signature call to the husband.
15:30The guard tried to call Roman again, hoping for a response.
15:34The call was disconnected.
15:35His anger boiled over.
15:37Doctor, our boss isn't answering.
15:40He's very busy.
15:41Busy?
15:42He repeated his wife.
15:43Is critical, may need C-section.
15:46What is he so busy with that he can't answer his phone?
15:49At the full moon party, Roman learned the truth about his lost son.
15:53She was dressed to the nines holding her trophy.
15:55He couldn't accept this cruel reality.
15:57A hint of malice flashed in her eyes.
15:59The child became her new bargaining chip.
16:02She would escalate using the child to control Roman.
16:05Tessa, who escaped death, put on her farewell attire.
16:07A resolute severance letter.
16:09She signed her name expressionlessly.
16:11All the past will come to an end.
16:13She was ready for a complete farewell.
16:15She took one last look at her secretly placed daughter.
16:18This was her only concern.
16:20Despite all reluctance, she had to let go.
16:22For her and for herself.
16:23Roman rushed to the hospital like a madman.
16:26He knew it was all too late.
16:27Hope waited behind the door.
16:29Only an empty hospital room remained.
16:31A resolute severance letter.
16:33All she left was her resolve.
16:34He had completely lost her.
16:36Tessa disappeared into the night.
16:38A complete farewell, no turning back.
16:40What did you just say?
16:41Say it again.
16:42The doctor said Mrs. West stayed in the water too long.
16:45It triggered contractions.
16:46After her water broke, the baby didn't come out in time.
16:49The cord got compressed.
16:51The baby couldn't breathe.
16:52They called it death by oxygen deprivation.
16:54No.
16:55No, that's bullshit.
16:56You're lying.
16:57She put you up to this, didn't she?
16:59Tessa's mad at me.
17:00So you're teaming up to screw with my head.
17:03She wants me to feel guilty.
17:04Wants me to hurt.
17:05Is that it?
17:06Put her on the phone.
17:07Right now.
17:08Let me talk to her.
17:10What's going on, Roman?
17:12Did something happen to Tessa?
17:13You look like you've seen a ghost.
17:15Don't tell me she called to threaten you again.
17:17Mr. West, I swear I'm not lying.
17:19After they brought her out of surgery, Mrs. West left the hospital.
17:22We don't know where she went, but before she left, she gave me something to deliver to you.
17:25I'm almost at the hotel.
17:32Where is she?
17:33Is she still at the hospital?
17:35What did she tell you to give me?
17:37This, sir.
17:37She said it was for you.
17:39What is that?
17:39I don't know, but it looks bad.
17:41I've seen something like that before.
17:43At my grandma's funeral.
17:44It looks exactly like the urn they used for her ashes.
17:47Whose ashes is that?
17:49It's not Tessa's, right?
17:50Whose ashes?
17:52Was this their baby?
17:53The child he'd never even held?
17:55Had Tessa really cremated their child and sent the remains to him on Elena's son's big day?
17:59Did she hate him that much?
18:01What the hell kind of sick joke is this?
18:03Who sends that to a party?
18:05Roman, it has to be fake.
18:06There's no way Tessa lost the baby at nine months.
18:09She must know you'd blame yourself.
18:11She's doing this to mess with your head.
18:13I just don't understand what she's thinking, sending something like this to my son's celebration.
18:19Does she want to curse him?
18:20Enough.
18:28A chorus of gagging broke out around him.
18:30Dude, what the hell?
18:32Roman, you can't just eat ashes.
18:34Man, we get that you're grieving, but this is messed up.
18:37Only Elena stared, eyes fixed on his face, waiting.
18:39This is flour.
18:41It's not ashes, it's flour.
18:43He snatched up the urn and hurled it.
18:50Holy shit, has right its flour.
18:52Jesus, scared the life out of me.
18:54Relief swept through the room in a noisy wave.
18:57False alarm, thank God.
18:59I thought we were about to witness.
19:00Looks like Tessa's messing with you again.
19:03But man, that's one hell of a prank.
19:05Who curses their own kid like that?
19:06So that means your baby's fine, right?
19:08We can still go ahead with the party.
19:10In Elena's arms, the baby shifted.
19:12Her heart, on the other hand, dropped like a stone.
19:15Tessa's lying to me.
19:16When she left the hospital, was she holding a baby?
19:19I don't know, sir.
19:20I swear I didn't know there was flour in there.
19:23All right, the circus is over.
19:24Let's head in.
19:25Well, start the dinner.
19:27Oh, and this Mr. West.
19:28Mrs. West asked me to give you this too.
19:31Roman froze at the sight of it.
19:32That's a divorce certificate.
19:34Someone blurted out,
19:35It's real, it's actually a divorce certificate.
19:38Roman, you finally divorced Tessa.
19:41We can finally get married.
19:43His pulse thundered in his ears.
19:45Give that to me.
19:46Where are you going?
19:47The party's about to start.
19:49I'm going to find Tessa.
19:51She just gave birth.
19:52You're going to her.
19:54Today.
19:54On our son's full month celebration.
19:57You're seriously going to ditch.
19:59I'm sorry, Elena.
20:01Tessa went into labor early, because of me.
20:04He started toward the doors.
20:06Elena's heart lurched.
20:07The child let out a piercing wail.
20:09The cry sliced through the hall raw and panicked.
20:12Roman, look.
20:13You should stay with Elena.
20:14Exactly.
20:15It's his first big day.
20:16Roman's foot hovered over the threshold.
20:18Elena stood there, clutching their son.
20:20Okay, I won't go.
20:22I'll stay.
20:22I'll stay with you both.
20:23He exhaled long and slow.
20:25The airport was colder than she expected.
20:27When the plane lifted off, the city dropped away.
20:30The baby's lashes cast soft shadows on her cheeks.
20:33By now, Roman had to have received the urn and the divorce papers.
20:37No claim of his on her child.
20:39She would carry her mother's name, Joy Reed.
20:42Life that was hers alone, and it would be a happy one.
20:45When the plane touched down, the doors opened to a different sky.
20:49As Tessa wheeled her carrion, she spotted them instantly through the glass.
20:53Her father stood ramrod straight.
20:55Her mother clutched his arm.
20:57Mom, Dad.
20:58I miss Tessa.
20:59It's been too long.
20:59Oh, sweetheart, look at you.
21:01You're all skin and bones.
21:03I'll make sure he pays.
21:05And this, this is our granddaughter.
21:09Tessa shifted the blanket back just enough.
21:12God, she's beautiful.
21:14She's staying with us.
21:16Don't call us Grandma.
21:18We're her grandparents, period.
21:21Thank you, thank you, both of you.
21:23It's okay, baby.
21:24You're home.
21:25Let's go.
21:26Let's get you out of here.
21:28Yeah, let's go home.
21:30She followed them out to the curb.
21:32As the car pulled away, she looked out at the new city and let out a breath.
21:37She felt she'd been holding for years.
21:39As for Roman West, he could go straight to hell.
21:42Back in the hotel, the celebration wound down.
21:45Lena handed the baby to the nanny and hurried after him.
21:48The divorce certificate was real.
21:50The marriage was legally dead.
21:52Soon enough, she'd be Mrs. West, not just in bed.
21:55Though they reached the hospital, Roman strode straight to the nurse's station.
21:59Excuse me, do you know where Tessa Reed is?
22:01You're Roman West, right?
22:03Good, that's me.
22:04Where is she?
22:05She came in last night?
22:06I know exactly who she is.
22:08And I'm guessing that makes you the other woman.
22:11Not crap facts everyone in this hospital knows.
22:14Mrs. Reed came in hemorrhaging you ignored every single call.
22:17The baby's already been born.
22:19You showing up now, just a little late.
22:22My phone died on its own.
22:24I didn't know.
22:25I need to see her.
22:26Where is she?
22:27Where's the baby?
22:28MS Reed left as for the baby.
22:30I heard the baby was stillborn.
22:32It was a girl.
22:33Roman stood alone in the empty hallway.
22:35His heart crushed by regret and despair.
22:37The nurse turned on her heel and walked away.
22:40No other word.
22:41Roman refused to accept it.
22:43He tore down corridor, checking.
22:44He yanked curtains, opened doors.
22:47He fumbled phone, dialing, call failed.
22:50Cannot send messages.
22:51She shut him out, completely.
22:53Maybe she went home.
22:54She has to be exhausted.
22:56They burst through the door.
22:57Has Mrs. West come back?
22:59Did she come home at all?
23:00No, sir.
23:00We haven't seen her.
23:01He took stairs, door opened.
23:03First thing he saw, suitcase.
23:05Inside, Tessa's clothes, baby stuff, makeup, toothbrush, still there.
23:09Didn't look like she ran away.
23:11She hadn't planned to return.
23:13Roman's throat tightened.
23:14If not here, not at hospital.
23:16Where the hell was she?
23:17Find her.
23:18Check airports, stations.
23:20Don't care cost.
23:21Just find her.
23:22Roman didn't sleep that night.
23:23Every creak, he looked up.
23:25Across the hall, Elena seethed.
23:27She pinched baby harder.
23:28Roman, he won't stop.
23:30I don't know what to do.
23:31Then let the nanny handle it.
23:32Screaming drives me crazy.
23:34Are you serious?
23:35I get you're upset about Tessa.
23:37What about our son?
23:38I'm sorry.
23:39I just...
23:40He missed Tessa so much.
23:41Sir, should we drain the pool?
23:43Blood.
23:43It's starting to smell.
23:45What blood?
23:45Pool outside.
23:46Tessa lost blood.
23:47It turned the whole thing red.
23:49Roman rushed out to backyard.
23:51Pool, one sparkling blue.
23:53Stained murky, rusted red.
23:54Dark patches on the grass.
23:56He stopped dead.
23:57Is all of this hers?
23:59All Tessa's?
24:00Yes, sir.
24:00Why not clean it sooner?
24:02Why leave it for him to see?
24:03Mrs. Reed left in a hurry.
24:05We didn't get to the pool yet.
24:07Stop calling her Mrs. Reed.
24:08And don't call me Ms. Cole.
24:10From now on, I'm the lady.
24:12So address me as Mrs. West.
24:13Understood?
24:14Understood.
24:15Good.
24:16Go get a crew.
24:17Have this cleaned up.
24:18Drain it.
24:19Scrub the tiles.
24:20No single stain left.
24:21They moved.
24:22Called the team.
24:23Roman stood rooted to spot.
24:25Exposing blood-streaked tiles.
24:27Every smear reminded him.
24:28Water gone.
24:29Silver flashed.
24:30Hold up.
24:31He climbed out.
24:32Holding object.
24:33We found this silver bracelet.
24:35Mr. West, is this yours?
24:36Roman turns the bracelet over.
24:38He recognized it instantly.
24:40Hey, come here.
24:41Yes, sir.
24:42That night by the pool, did my wife really retrieve something from the water?
24:46An amulet or something?
24:48No, sir.
24:49Mrs. Reed found nothing.
24:50The answer detonated a cold truth in Roman.
24:52If there was never an amulet in the pool, what exactly did Tessa throw?
24:56Or did she throw anything at all?
24:58Was this all Elena's act from the start?
25:00Roman, dinner is ready.
25:02Why are you still out here?
25:04Elena, tell me the truth.
25:06Did Tessa really throw the baby amulet into the pool that day?
25:09Of course she did, Roman.
25:11Then what is this?
25:12Panic flashed in her eyes.
25:14It must have slipped.
25:15I might have dropped it near the edge.
25:17You didn't drop it.
25:18You threw it.
25:19You told me it was the amulet to make me mad at Tessa.
25:22No, that's not true.
25:23Why would I do that?
25:24Enough.
25:24You're still lying even now.
25:27I'm not lying.
25:28Why are you attacking me?
25:29Search her room.
25:30Sir?
25:31You heard me.
25:32I want that amulet.
25:33Even if you have to turn the place upside down.
25:36You want them to search my room?
25:38Are you crazy?
25:39Do it.
25:44In the living room, Elena's heart pounded.
25:47Her palms were icy cold.
25:49The amulet was in her drawer.
25:50She knew exactly where she'd tucked it away.
25:52If they found it.
25:53If Roman saw it.
25:55Mr. West, is this what you were looking for?
25:59The amulet bore the blessing symbols of that remote church.
26:03Elena, do you have anything to say?
26:05No, no, no.
26:05It's not what you think.
26:06This is a new one.
26:07I bought another.
26:08The priest's inscription is right here.
26:10The one we drove ours to see.
26:12The exact same design.
26:13Do you want me to bring him here to identify it?
26:16Elena, do you have any idea what you've done?
26:19I...
26:20Because you lied to me, I killed my child with Tessa.
26:23I didn't mean for it to go that far.
26:24She started it.
26:25She was the one provoking me.
26:27You didn't know?
26:28So she was telling the truth.
26:29One more question.
26:31Last night, did you touch my phone?
26:32No, I didn't.
26:33I never touched it.
26:34Pull the security footage.
26:36Minutes later, the security footage was retrieved.
26:39In the video, Roman holds his child.
26:41His phone screen lights up with an incoming call.
26:44Elena's smile freezes.
26:45She turns off Roman's phone.
26:47Care to explain that?
26:48I don't have anything to say.
26:50You were having fun with the baby.
26:51I just didn't want to disturb you.
26:53You're still lying.
26:55Take your son and go upstairs.
26:57You're doing this to me for Tessa?
26:59I don't want to see you either.
27:01Elena rushes upstairs with the child.
27:03Roman collapses onto the sofa.
27:05Uh, look, Roman.
27:06I bought these for the baby.
27:08Isn't it cute?
27:09It's pink.
27:10Pretty sure it's a girl, right?
27:11I'm not sure.
27:12So I bought a blue one too.
27:14Pink for a girl.
27:14Blue for a boy.
27:15He tries to stop the pain, but it is useless.
27:18Tessa, where are you?
27:20Overseas, the night was soft and quiet.
27:22Tessa lay propped up against pillows.
27:24In the crib beside her, Joyce slept.
27:26Tiny fists, curled lips parted.
27:27Just looking at that face made every pain worth it.
27:31The only thing she still felt guilty, her daughter would grow up.
27:34Without a real family, no doting dad, no perfect parents.
27:38Tess here, finish this soup.
27:41Since she arrived, her parents had made it their mission.
27:43To feed her like she'd been starved.
27:46Homemade broths, roasted chicken.
27:47In just two weeks, she'd put on weight again.
27:50Mom, I told you.
27:51You don't have to make me.
27:53A late night snack every day.
27:55I'm not even hungry.
27:55You silly girl, if you don't eat, how are you going to keep up?
28:00With the baby?
28:01As if on cue, Joy let out a sleepy wail.
28:04She's up.
28:05I'll get her.
28:05You stay in bed.
28:07You shouldn't be carrying her.
28:08Too much yet.
28:10You want back problems for life?
28:12She's my daughter.
28:13When she cries, of course I want to hold her.
28:16And you're my daughter.
28:18When you hurt, I hurt.
28:20Mom.
28:20Drink your soup before it gets cold.
28:23Oh, I see why, my little.
28:26Princess is upset somebody made a stinky.
28:29Come on, sweetheart.
28:31Grandma's gonna get you.
28:33All cleaned up so you can sleep like an angel again, okay?
28:37Watching her mother coo and fuss.
28:39The last bit of guilt slid off.
28:41So what if Joy didn't have a father?
28:43She had a mother who would fight.
28:44for her grandparents who adored her
28:46and a whole new life waiting.
28:48That could be more than enough.
28:50Back in the States, Roman hadn't closed his eyes.
28:53Well, did you find anything?
28:54Any sign of her?
28:55The assistant's voice, on the other end,
28:58revealed the truth.
28:59That Tessa had gone.
29:00Out of the country?
29:02She really left.
29:03He'd assumed she'd gone
29:04to some hotel to lick her wounds.
29:06But the idea, she'd left the country.
29:08There's only one place.
29:10She'd go.
29:11She went to them.
29:12She has to have.
29:13He hung up, grabbed the closest suitcase
29:15and started throwing clothes into it.
29:18He had just dragged it.
29:20Downstairs, when Elena appeared.
29:21Roman, what are you doing?
29:23Where are you going?
29:24I don't have time for this, Elena.
29:25I'm going abroad.
29:27Abroad?
29:27Now you promised you'd stay.
29:29With me today.
29:30Did you forget?
29:31He kept walking.
29:32It's my birthday.
29:33You promised you'd spend.
29:34The day with me.
29:35You swore you wouldn't bail.
29:37I don't have time to hold your hand
29:39through a birthday dinner.
29:41I'm gonna find Tessa.
29:42We can celebrate.
29:43When I get back.
29:44I'm not letting you go.
29:46A promise is a promise, Roman.
29:48You can't just...
29:49I also promised Tessa
29:50I'd never cheat on her.
29:52How'd that work out?
29:53Don't forget.
29:53The first time you tricked me.
29:55Into your bed.
29:55You told me you didn't care.
29:57About the title.
29:58You said you didn't need a ring.
30:00Didn't need recognition.
30:01You said you were happy.
30:03Just staying in the shadows.
30:04What happened to that, Elena?
30:05She flushed teeth sinking.
30:07Into her lip.
30:08I'm going to say this once more.
30:10Move.
30:10And I'll say it again too.
30:12I'm not moving.
30:13Are you done throwing a tantrum?
30:15In my doorway?
30:16I'm fighting for us.
30:17No.
30:18You're getting between me
30:20and the woman whose life
30:21you helped destroy.
30:23I haven't even begun
30:24to hold you accountable
30:25for what you did to Tessa.
30:27If you're smart,
30:28you'll step aside
30:29while I'm still trying
30:31to say this nicely.
30:32Otherwise...
30:33Now I finally see you
30:34for who you are.
30:35You regret it, don't you?
30:37Who's been here
30:37the entire six years?
30:39I just wanted to marry you.
30:41My son to carry your name.
30:43You won't even give me that.
30:45Before yesterday,
30:46I could have
30:46Tessa's child is dead
30:47because of you.
30:48If she never forgives me,
30:50I will never marry you.
30:51I've already done more for you.
30:53Whatever debt I owed Aiden,
30:54I've paid it in full.
30:56Roman West,
30:57if you walk out that door,
30:59I'll kill myself right here.
31:01This is the fifth time
31:03you've used suicide
31:04to hold me hostage
31:05every single time I gave in.
31:08Not this time.
31:09Even if you really
31:10go through with it,
31:11I'm going to find Tessa period.
31:12Ms. Cole, please calm down.
31:14Don't do anything crazy.
31:15You seem to forget
31:16I'm depressed.
31:17Call him, call him right now.
31:19Okay, okay, we'll call.
31:21He's not picking up.
31:22He won't even answer the phone.
31:24You'll regret this.
31:25Elena tore her arm away.
31:27He didn't wait for her answer.
31:29Leaving a trail of red
31:30on the banister,
31:31The staff hurried
31:32after her, terrified.
31:33Yanking the screaming baby out.
31:35Ms. Cole, please.
31:37He's just a baby.
31:38Why should I
31:39if Roman doesn't want me?
31:41What's the point
31:42of either of us?
31:43I'll take him with me.
31:44We'll leave this world together.
31:46Call Mr. West again.
31:47I want him back here now.
31:49She called Roman's driver.
31:51Roman grips his knees,
31:52knuckles white.
31:53Mr. West, it's bad.
31:55Elena cut her wrist.
31:56She's threatening
31:57to take the baby.
31:58She's lost her mind.
31:59she might actually do it.
32:01Airport, sir?
32:02Turn around.
32:04Mr. West, Elena passed out.
32:06Lost blood, hospital.
32:07Baby's fine.
32:08His chance
32:08vanished with the flight.
32:10Take me to the hospital.
32:11He arrived at the hospital.
32:13You've lost your mind, Elena.
32:14You tried to kill yourself.
32:16You bled out for Roman.
32:18You don't even have depression.
32:19I couldn't let him leave.
32:21I'd lose him for good.
32:22Don't drag the baby into this.
32:24If not for him,
32:25I'd be free.
32:26Thank God Roman never asked.
32:28Is he truly the father?
32:30What did you just say?
32:32We'll give you guys space.
32:33You came back.
32:34You care.
32:35You couldn't let me die.
32:37Answer me.
32:37What did you mean?
32:38You said the kid isn't mine.
32:39No, you misheard.
32:41You're the only man.
32:42Who else could be his father?
32:44How many lies?
32:45Elena?
32:45Who are you really?
32:47The woman I knew didn't exist?
32:49He destroyed his marriage.
32:51Ruined Tessa's life.
32:52All for a lie.
32:53The child he cherished
32:54was not his own flesh and blood.
32:56Tonight's family dinner
32:58won't be calm.
32:59Tessa knew.
33:00A war without smoke.
33:01Each step on power's edge.
33:03She's ready for any challenge.
33:05Hypocrisy and glamour rule tonight.
33:11Ex-fiancé and rival.
33:13Too close.
33:24Oh, Tessa, how dare you come?
33:26Family dinner, why wouldn't I?
33:28Old love, new fling.
33:29Tensions rise.
33:30Mother's coldness, worse than known.
33:32You dare stand here.
33:34No family pride?
33:35My dignity, I decide.
33:37Think you still have a place here.
33:39Under all eyes, she's cornered.
33:41Time to flip this false game.
33:53All eyes on the document now.
33:54This will might answer your questions.
33:57One will, enough to change all.
33:58Power balance shifts instantly.
34:00From now on, I steer the family.
34:03Tonight, a top charity gala.
34:05Outwardly splendid, yet secretly turbulent.
34:07Roman sought to use this as a redemption offering
34:10for his past betrayal.
34:11The lost family heirloom became his bargaining chip for goodwill.
34:14Bidding high, just to gain a sliver of Tessa's attention.
34:17Tessa remained calm and distant, as if nothing concerned her.
34:21Suddenly, a fiery red figure shattered this false calm.
34:24Roman, how dare you show your face to Tessa?
34:27Elena, don't make a scene here.
34:29Amidst the commotion, Tessa's eyes held only a hint of weariness.
34:33The whispers of the crowd became the best commentary.
34:35At the crucial moment, Tessa's mother intervened with powerful presence.
34:40Elena, this is not the place for such discussions.
34:44Our family has completely severed all ties with Roman.
34:48Roman's redemption plan was utterly defeated.
34:51Tessa chose to leave resolutely, without a trace of hesitation.
34:55This treasure once symbolized the family's glory.
34:57At the end of the corridor was her silhouette bidding farewell to the past.
35:01The cold night deepened, and the story would finally conclude.
35:04Her departure was a final farewell.
35:07Roman was left alone, the treasure in his hand now only irony.
35:10His humility and ridicule were frozen by the camera flashes.
35:13Farewell is the prologue to a new beginning.
35:16What exactly is Roman West up to now?
35:18Dad, please try to calm down.
35:20I'm going over there, I swear to God.
35:23I'm going to break his legs.
35:25When Robert arrived, Roman was directing the movers.
35:28Dad, you finally came outside.
35:31Stop right there, Mr. West.
35:32Watch how you address me.
35:34You and my daughter are divorced.
35:36I am not your dad.
35:38I won't ever be your dad.
35:39Sir.
35:40I've got one question for you.
35:42What exactly are you planning by buying this place?
35:46Sir, I know I screwed up.
35:48I'm here to ask Tessa to forgive me.
35:50If she won't, then I'll stay here.
35:52As long as it takes.
35:54I'll live across this street until the day she does.
35:57You really don't have any shame, do you?
35:59Do you remember what you said three years ago?
36:03You said you'd cut that woman off.
36:05You said you'd never cheat on my daughter again.
36:08And what happened?
36:10You carried on with her.
36:11Got her pregnant.
36:13You damn near killed my kid.
36:15Should I call you pathetic?
36:17Or just plain disgusting?
36:19You're right.
36:20Call me whatever you want.
36:21I deserve all of it.
36:23But at least believe me when I say this.
36:25It's over with Elena.
36:26Completely.
36:27I threw her out.
36:28And the kid she had.
36:29He's not even mine.
36:31He never was.
36:31So that's it.
36:32She cheated on you.
36:34The great Roman West finally got played.
36:36You earned every bit of that.
36:38Pack your things.
36:39If you actually care about Tessa's happiness,
36:43get the hell away from here.
36:45If you stay, we go.
36:47If she moves again, I'll move again.
36:50I'm not giving up.
36:51Tessa, I'll prove it to you this time.
36:53I swear to God, I'll prove it.
36:54The days that followed turned into a strange, exhausting routine.
36:58Every morning, Roman would appear at the reed's door, holding flowers.
37:02The housekeeper would refuse them.
37:04He would still leave the flowers by the door.
37:06Every afternoon, he would linger on the sidewalk.
37:09Hoping to catch a glimpse of Tessa,
37:11Tessa learned to use the back entrance.
37:13She wrapped herself in her new life,
37:15leaving no opening for Roman.
37:17But secrets, after all, cannot be buried forever.
37:20One morning, Roman saw the maids come out.
37:22They began to hang clothes on the line.
37:24Tiny rompers, little socks with cloud patterns.
37:27Little miss was fussy again last night.
37:29Probably because there's no dad around.
37:31Kids aren't stupid.
37:32Roman gripped his coffee cup until the cardboard bent.
37:35You think Ms. Reed will ever marry again?
37:38Hard to say.
37:39She's been hurt so badly.
37:40The maid's voice has drifted in the morning air.
37:42His heart pounded.
37:44That wasn't a hypothetical baby.
37:45That was his child.
37:47The child Tessa claimed had died.
37:48Why didn't you tell me, Tess?
37:50Why did you have to lie?
37:52Because last time she trusted him,
37:54entrusting him with their child,
37:55he had almost killed both her and their daughter.
37:58Tessa.
37:59Tessa.
38:00The baby isn't dead, is she?
38:02Our baby's not dead, right?
38:04Tessa come out and talk to me.
38:05I want to see our child.
38:07Why would you lie?
38:08Why would you tell me she died if she didn't?
38:11Roman's voice rolled in from outside like distant thunder.
38:14He actually has the nerve to ask me?
38:16That man is back again.
38:18We called the cops last time.
38:20Dad let me go.
38:21If I don't say this to his face,
38:23he's going to haunt my doorstep.
38:24I'm tired.
38:25I need this done.
38:26At least give me the baby.
38:28No, I'm taking her with me.
38:30She wanted him to see exactly who had lost.
38:32For a second, he just froze.
38:34Tess.
38:35The baby you're holding.
38:38is that.
38:39Is she ours?
38:40She's our daughter.
38:42Right?
38:43She's our little girl.
38:44Her tiny fists waved in the air.
38:46The shape of his eyes.
38:47The curve of Tessa's mouth.
38:49No.
38:50No?
38:50Tessa, look at her.
38:52She's a baby.
38:53She's exactly the right age.
38:55I said no, Roman West.
38:56You and I are divorced.
38:58Whatever you think we had is over.
39:00The child you keep talking about died.
39:02This little girl is mine.
39:04She's my daughter.
39:04She belongs to me.
39:06Tessa Reed and no one else.
39:07You can't mean that.
39:09She is obviously our child.
39:11She is my kid.
39:13Roman, don't you already have a son or weight from what my dad told me that boy Elena had
39:18has not yours, is he?
39:19Roman flinched like she'd stabbed him.
39:22The neighbors buzzed.
39:23Oh my God, he really did that to his pregnant wife?
39:26No wonder she doesn't want him.
39:28Unbelievable.
39:28The great Roman West, the guy who thinks he's the smartest, got played into raising another
39:33man's kid.
39:34That hurts.
39:35You know that.
39:35Hurts?
39:36You want to talk about pain?
39:37What are you hoping if you look pitiful enough, it'll forgive you?
39:40Did you think about how much it would hurt when you let that woman set me up?
39:44When you hit me?
39:45When you forced your nine months pregnant wife to stay in a freezing pool for four hours
39:50to teach me a lesson and fetch a charm that never existed.
39:53Did you think about my pain then, Roman?
39:55Tess.
39:56There wasn't a single apology in the world, big enough to cover what had done, so he did
40:01the only thing he could think of.
40:03I know it's not enough.
40:04I know I don't deserve it.
40:06But can you really look at that baby and say she doesn't need a father?
40:10Can you really do that to her?
40:11Tess's fingers stroked Joy's back, soothing the baby's soft little fussing.
40:15Who said she doesn't have a father?
40:17She's have a better man for a dad someday.
40:20And even if she didn't, she'd never call a piece of garbage like you her father.
40:23Does it really have to be like this?
40:25Why can't it be like three years ago?
40:27Why can't you just give me one last chance?
40:30Just one?
40:31There are no more chances, Roman.
40:32Three years ago, I handed you that last chance.
40:35You threw it away, losing your wife and your own child.
40:38You did that to yourself.
40:39Don't you dare pin it on anyone else.
40:41If you don't want your daughter growing up uprooted, then leave.
40:44If you don't, I'll be gone by tomorrow.
40:46For the first time, Roman finally understood she didn't just resent him.
40:50She hated him.
40:51Get out of here already.
40:52You're not embarrassed kneeling there like that.
40:54Scumbag, he deserves every second of this.
40:56In the middle of the noise, Tessa let out a small, tired laugh.
41:00Tessa didn't look back.
41:01She walked towards a new life.
41:03Hey, what's wrong, Ray?
41:05You think mommy did the wrong thing.
41:07You think mommy should forgive your dad.
41:09The reaction punched straight through whatever armor Tessa had left.
41:12Her vision blurred all over again.
41:14God, you're sweet already looking out for me, huh?
41:17Even without a dad, I'm going to make sure your life is happy and bright.
41:20I swear it.
41:21Out on the street, Roman stayed on his knees long after the front door shut.
41:25By the time he finally forced himself to stand, his legs were numb and his palms were raw from
41:30gripping the concrete.
41:31He walked away like a man moving through water and booked the earliest flight home he could find.
41:36Joy grew fast.
41:37She could sit at the baby grand in the living room and play simple pieces from memory.
41:41Ray, who gets the first slice, grandmas?
41:45Ready to volunteer, just so you know.
41:49The first one is for mom.
41:51Because mom raised me, she did the hardest job.
41:54I love mom the most.
41:56Thank you, baby.
41:57Best birthday speech I've ever heard.
41:59All right, Ray.
42:01Then tell grandpa.
42:02This.
42:03What's your birthday wish this year?
42:06Same as always, I want mom to be happy every day.
42:09And I want her to get a boyfriend who'll take care of her.
42:12You really want a dad that badly?
42:14I want you to be happy.
42:15I want you to have someone who treats you nice.
42:18I want lots and lots of people to love my mom.
42:21Across the yard in the second floor window of the house opposite,
42:24a man stood half hidden behind the curtain.
42:26Roman's throat tightened as he watched Joy feed Tessa that first bite of cake.
42:30His eyes reddened.
42:32Mr. West, you've been flying out here for five years now.
42:35Watching from the window.
42:36Hiding in rentals across the street, pulling up and driving away.
42:39You never even ring the bell.
42:41You sure you don't want to talk to them?
42:43After this long, maybe Mrs. Reed doesn't hate you as much as you think.
42:46She hates me.
42:47And she's right too.
42:48I'm not asking her to forgive me.
42:50I'm not stupid enough to think she'll come back.
42:53Just getting to see them like this from far away, that's more than I deserve.
42:56I still think that one day she will forgive you.
42:59Maybe, maybe not.
43:00All I want now is for her to be happy.
43:03For both of them to be happy.
43:04That's it.
43:04The rest of my life, that's for making up for what I did.
43:07Look at all I'm not going to bring over.
43:07This is going to be hard to make up for my life.
43:07I want you to get me.
