Short filmTranscript
00:00For all these years since my marriage to Carmine, I've had complete freedom to browse his tablet,
00:04phone, and computer at will. But today, that privilege has expired. The Carmine Vitale
00:09tablet froze, and I entered the wedding anniversary date three times in a row,
00:13only to see an error message each time. I had no choice but to call him.
00:18Carmine, take your tablet in for repairs tomorrow.
00:21Mrs. Vitale?
00:23I'm sorry, but I accidentally changed the password to my birthday while gaming in Mr.
00:27Vitale's office yesterday. I could clearly hear Carmine's deep laugh.
00:32Carmen, I've changed your tablet password. There shouldn't be any problem, right?
00:37Carmine Vitale is a man with an almost obsessive cleanliness obsession and a rigid sense of
00:43boundaries. I was the only exception. I was silent for two seconds. I took out a pre-signed
00:49divorce agreement and placed it in the most conspicuous spot on the living room table.
00:53Last week, Chelsea was seen holding Carmine's arm at the company annual meeting. That evening,
00:58when he came back, as usual, he approached to embrace me, but I sidestepped, raised my chin,
01:06and gestured for him to check the agreement on the table.
01:11Carmine's smile vanished instantly. He picked up the agreement, glanced at it, and then in front
01:17of me poured into pieces. You really want to leave me like this? Do you think Chelsea is just an
01:26ordinary specialist into me? Releasing his hand, I took out the second, third, and fourth divorce
01:32agreements from my back and laid them all out before him. 17 copies. Tear one up, and I'll provide
01:39another until you sign. The silence in the living room was suffocating as Carmine and I faced off.
01:44He knows my temper. I've never been able to look the other way. On our wedding night,
01:48I made it clear, if he ever fell for someone else, I'd step aside. No drama, no clinging. Back then,
01:54he held me so tight, it felt like he wanted us to become one person. He said we were a
01:59perfect match,
02:00that even without love, we could grow old together. For five years, we were the couple everyone envied.
02:06Our family's business empire was booming, and our connection was undeniable. Three months ago,
02:11on his birthday, Carmine, I want a baby. Even now, that moment is burned into my memory.
02:17Are you sure, Fiona? A sudden light flickered in the depths of Carmine's dark, narrow eyes. A split
02:22second before I drifted off into total exhaustion, I felt something warm and wet drop onto my face.
02:29Carmine's voice was low, a gentle rumble against my ear.
02:34Fiona, thank you.
02:36I forced myself to snap out of the memories. I pushed down the bitterness and looked him in the eye.
02:43Carmine,
02:44I want a divorce.
02:45Minutes of silence passed. He said nothing.
02:48I can't stand the silent treatment.
02:50So I went upstairs and packed my bags.
02:52When I tried to leave 30 minutes later,
02:54he finally blocked the door.
02:57Fiona Moore, you're divorcing me over something this small?
03:00It had been years since he used my full name.
03:03Yes.
03:04He frowned, probably remembering the baby in my belly, and his voice softened.
03:08Fiona, I can explain.
03:11The girl wrote a proposal that the board approved. She didn't want a bonus.
03:15She just mentioned she hadn't played games in a while and asked to use my tablet for a few rounds.
03:20I let her.
03:21The passcode is back to what it was, Fiona.
03:23It was a minor lapse in judgment.
03:25I've already reprimanded her, and she's well aware of her mistake.
03:28She even offered to apologize to you in person.
03:32Be the bigger person here.
03:34Don't make life difficult for a fresh grad.
03:36I give you my word from now on I won't have any contact with her outside of what's strictly necessary.
03:40Carmine, you're already defending her?
03:42Is that what you think of me?
03:43That I'm some bitter, jealous wife making a scene over nothing while you two stay innocent?
03:48Fiona, that's not what I meant.
03:51I don't care what you meant.
03:53I'm divorcing you.
03:54As for the baby, I haven't decided yet.
03:56But don't worry.
03:58Even if I have it, I won't use the highs to trap you.
04:01I pushed past him and walked out the front door.
04:04The servant stood frozen, too scared to stop me.
04:06I took a cab back to my parents' house.
04:08My father smoked one cigarette after another.
04:13Fiona, it's not that we want you to stay.
04:15But our family business depends on Carmen.
04:18If you divorce him, he'll pull his funding and everything I've built will collapse overnight.
04:24Carmino treats you so well.
04:26Don't be ungrateful.
04:28Why would you give up your spot and let another woman win?
04:30Even if he does have someone else, you have to deal with it.
04:34There's no such thing as true love in elite families.
04:36You're lucky to be a Vitarre.
04:37It all came down to one word, money.
04:39My father's business was failing, and Carmine had bailed him out multiple times.
04:44So, what do you want me to do?
04:46My father crushed his cigarette.
04:48I already messaged Carmilo.
04:49He's on his way.
04:50Go back and play nice.
04:52Stop running home and making us look like a joke.
04:55Listen to your father.
04:56Oh, and your brother wants a piece of land from the Vitarre family.
05:00Tell Carmina to make it happen.
05:01The real reason I was just the pawn in this marriage was because I had a brother.
05:05Carmine arrived quickly.
05:06He took my hand and gave my parents a regretful smile.
05:09Dad, Mom, it's my fault.
05:11I upset Fiona.
05:12My father immediately ordered the best coffee for him.
05:15My mother rushed to the kitchen.
05:17Suddenly, I was the outsider.
05:18My mother pulled me aside and secretly handed me a small pink bottle.
05:22It's a pheromone booster from Paris.
05:24Use it.
05:25Every powerful man wanders, Fiona.
05:27Don't be the wife who loses her throne to a mistress just because she's emotional.
05:31I didn't take the bottle.
05:32Instead, I looked at her like she was a complete stranger.
05:35We share the same blood.
05:37But today, I finally saw who she really was.
05:40When my mother saw that I had no reaction, she forcibly shoved the bottle into my hand.
05:45Meanwhile, my dad was making a show of offering Carmine a bottle of premium whiskey.
05:50Dad, the strong ricker smell would make Flona feel nauseous.
05:54Yes, yes.
05:55I was confused.
05:56The whole situation was utterly absurd.
05:59Who a few days ago spoke to me with a cold demeanor.
06:02After that, Carmine referred me to a psychologist.
06:05Mrs. Vitale, you are experiencing only hormonal fluctuation during pregnancy and emotional
06:10sensitivity, and there is no genuine intention for divorce.
06:14After returning home, Carmine had completely reverted to his former self.
06:18He greeted me morning and evening, personally prepared the soup, remembered all my preferences,
06:23and was so tender that it left me in a daze.
06:27But I can't fool myself.
06:29When I wake up in the middle of the night, his cold gaze suddenly flashes into my mind.
06:33I no longer mention divorce, but remain consistently cold and distant toward him.
06:38He thought I had become more obedient and learned to comply, but where he could not see,
06:43I was quietly making preparations.
06:45I went to the clinic, met the doctor, and told him,
06:49I want to terminate this pregnancy.
06:52In one week, I'm leaving him.
06:54I'm leaving Chicago, and I'm never coming back.
06:57Not for him, and not for my parents.
06:59I'm done with all of them.
07:01I scheduled the procedure for tomorrow, but Carmine is watching me like a hawk.
07:05Even when he goes to the office, he leaves bodyguards to follow me.
07:09I don't know if he's worried about me, or just the baby in my womb.
07:14The next morning, I did something I never did.
07:17I made him breakfast.
07:18He looked shocked.
07:20In all the years we've been married, I've barely touched a stove,
07:24let alone woken up early to cook his favorite meal.
07:27After he finished eating,
07:28I have a checkup at the clinic.
07:29He immediately pulled out his phone.
07:32Push today's meeting to the afternoon.
07:36No, don't cancel it.
07:38Carmine, I'm not a child.
07:40I don't need you or the bodyguards following me around.
07:43Go to your meeting.
07:44I'll call you if I need anything.
07:46Carmine looked down at his tie,
07:47then searched my eyes.
07:49He hesitated, but finally, he nodded.
07:52Before I left, Carmine kept repeating the same thing.
07:55Fiona, come home early after your appointment.
08:02Chelsea spent six months' salary on a gift for you.
08:05She's coming over tonight to apologize.
08:07As I lay on the cold operating table,
08:09flashes of our life together blurred past me.
08:12I remembered Carmine pressing his face against my stomach,
08:15trying to hear the baby move.
08:16I remembered him rubbing my swollen legs at night.
08:19And even further back, Carmine carrying me through the snow,
08:22promising me we'd be together forever.
08:24Back then, I asked him, as a joke,
08:27Carmine, after all this time,
08:28do you actually love me?
08:30I tried so hard to remember his answer.
08:32Did he say yes?
08:33No.
08:34Then, it hit me.
08:35Fiona, I don't know if I'm in love with you,
08:37but I know for sure you are the person I want to spend my life with.
08:41You are the only one.
08:42You are irreplaceable.
08:43Right.
08:44Well, I guess he found a replacement.
08:46Her name is Chelsea.
08:47The procedure was over quickly.
08:49The doctor handed me some pills and a list of things to watch out for.
08:52And just like that, it was done.
08:54I walked out of the hospital into a heavy snowstorm.
08:58I wrapped my scarf tight
09:02and headed toward the Bentley parked at the curb.
09:04Carmine agreed to call off the bodyguards,
09:06but only if his driver took me.
09:08The driver is an old family employee.
09:09When he opened the door for me, he hesitated.
09:13Ma'am, you look incredibly pale.
09:15Should I call Mr. Vitale?
09:25Back at the villa, I crashed and slept until 6.30 p.m.
09:29A loud knocking woke me up.
09:30I dragged my exhausted body to the door.
09:33Chelsea, she was holding a massive gift box.
09:35Ma'am, I'm here to apologize.
09:37Mr. Vitale already lectured me.
09:40I promise it won't happen again.
09:43Please forgive me.
09:44I looked her up and down.
09:45The gift box looked cheap.
09:47Probably nothing valuable inside.
09:49Then I noticed her clothes.
09:50She was wearing a custom, handmade outfit
09:53from Nancy, our family's private designer.
09:56No wonder Nancy was too busy
09:58to help me these past two months.
10:00Chelsea noticed me staring.
10:02Oh, this?
10:03Mr. Vitale had this made for me.
10:05He said since I'm his new special assistant,
10:08I need to dress the part.
10:09I could hear the pride in her voice.
10:12But then, a thought hit me.
10:14Maybe she's exactly what I need
10:16to speed up this divorce.
10:17I decided to push her buttons.
10:20So what?
10:21You're just an assistant.
10:23I'm the real Mrs. Vitale.
10:25As long as I'm breathing,
10:27you'll never be anything more
10:29than a mistress hiding in the shadows.
10:33Fiona, you have no idea.
10:37Carmine and I have already crossed that line.
10:40He might not be ready to marry me yet,
10:41but give it time.
10:42He'll let me into the family eventually.
10:44What are you so proud of?
10:46Your family name?
10:47Your father's company is already failing.
10:50And your brother?
10:51He's a joke.
10:52He'll bankrupt that business in a week.
10:55Look at you.
10:56A wife in an unloved marriage.
10:59If you weren't carrying his baby,
11:01Carmine wouldn't even look at you
11:02without feeling sick!
11:04She went on and on.
11:05And of course,
11:06I recorded every single word.
11:09She glared at me.
11:10Just when I thought she was out of movies,
11:12she suddenly smirked.
11:15Fiona,
11:16I know your secret.
11:19Because I was at the hospital today, too.
11:23What's your name?
11:24Chelsea's dark expression vanished in a heartbeat.
11:30Mr. Batale!
11:31When did you get here?
11:32I was so, so deep in conversation with your wife.
11:35When did you get here?
11:36As for the secret,
11:37why don't you try to guess?
11:38If you get it right,
11:40there's a prize.
11:41I guess.
11:42You went for a checkup today,
11:44saw Fiona there,
11:45and found out she's pregnant.
11:46Ding, ding!
11:47Correct!
11:48Your prize is a free week massages from me.
11:50No charge!
11:51Carmine let out a small laugh,
11:52but then his face hardened.
11:54He noticed her eyes were slightly red.
11:56He immediately stepped in front of her,
11:58shielding her with his body.
12:00she's just a young girl with a blunt personality.
12:03If she said something wrong,
12:04you need to be the bigger person and let it go.
12:07Chelsea advanced from behind Carmine.
12:10Mr. Vitale,
12:11you can't say that.
12:13I'm the one who messed up.
12:14Fiona has no obligation to put up with me or forgive me.
12:19To me,
12:20the way Chelsea was acting with Carmine
12:22was nothing but straight up flirting.
12:24And Carmine,
12:25he didn't even flinch.
12:26He looked like he'd been used to it for a long time.
12:28Maybe he hadn't even noticed
12:30that Chelsea had crossed every line he ever set for himself.
12:33That's why they looked so natural together.
12:36Suddenly a sharp cram hit my lower stomach
12:39and cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
12:42I couldn't stand looking at these two losers
12:44for one more second.
12:47Carmine,
12:48I accept her apology.
12:50Now tell her to get out.
12:51As for you,
12:52go wherever you want.
12:54Sleep with whoever you want.
12:55Just stay the hell away from me.
12:59Mrs. Vitale,
13:01saying that just means
13:02you haven't really
13:03forgiven me.
13:05Fiona,
13:06can you just be normal for once?
13:08Chelsea is new to the professional world.
13:10She doesn't know all the office politics.
13:13Can't you just be the bigger person?
13:14See,
13:15it didn't matter what I said.
13:16Carmine would never believe me.
13:18I looked at him with nothing but pure disgust.
13:21Get out!
13:24If you don't leave,
13:25right now,
13:26I'm taking a megaphone
13:27to your office tomorrow.
13:30I'll tell everyone exactly
13:31what kind of professional relationship
13:33you two really have.
13:35Chelsea,
13:35let's go.
13:36Don't waste your breath
13:37on a crazy person.
13:38I laughed so hard,
13:39tears actually started falling.
13:42Carmine,
13:42if I'm crazy,
13:43it's because you're the one
13:44who pushed me over the edge.
13:45He didn't even give me
13:46a second glance.
13:47He just took Chelsea by the hand
13:49and disappeared.
13:50A moment later,
13:51I heard the engine of his Maybach
13:52roar to life in the garage.
13:54I stood by the window,
13:55completely numb.
13:58I didn't sleep well.
13:59Somewhere between dreaming
14:00and waking,
14:01I saw a child,
14:02covered in blood,
14:03standing by my bed.
14:05He was crying,
14:05asking me why I didn't want him.
14:07My throat felt like
14:08it was blocked by a massive stone.
14:11I couldn't make a sound.
14:12Just as the sun was starting
14:13to come out,
14:13the bedroom door creaked open.
14:15A shadow moved toward me.
14:17Suddenly,
14:18I was lifted from the bed
14:19and pulled into a firm,
14:21strong chest.
14:22Fiona,
14:23you were having a nightmare.
14:24I didn't even have the energy
14:25to push him away.
14:27Carmine reached out
14:28to touch my forehead,
14:29sighing in relief
14:30when he realized
14:30I didn't have a fever.
14:32Fiona,
14:33I'm sorry.
14:35I said some pretty
14:36terrible things yesterday.
14:39I didn't say a word.
14:40Carmine leaned down
14:41and kissed my forehead.
14:44I know,
14:45being pregnant
14:45is hard on you.
14:47But Fiona,
14:48you need to stay rational.
14:49Don't drag innocent people
14:50into this.
14:51That girl worked so hard
14:52to get out of her small town.
14:53I've seen her work ethic.
14:55She's a dedicated assistant.
14:57Fiona,
14:58promise me
14:59you won't make trouble for her.
15:00She has nothing.
15:01She's no match
15:02for someone like you.
15:04After that,
15:04I went completely silent.
15:06We were in a cold war.
15:07but Carmine acted
15:08like nothing was wrong.
15:09Every day,
15:10he came home
15:10with bags of baby clothes
15:12and toys.
15:13He spent hours in the kitchen
15:14making healthy meals for me.
15:16He was constantly checking
15:17to see if I needed anything.
15:20Even the Vitaly elders
15:21called every day
15:22from the family estate.
15:23They told me to rest well
15:25and promised that
15:25if Carmine ever
15:26stepped out of line,
15:27they'd be the first
15:28to handle him.
15:30The Vitaly family,
15:32especially Carmine's grandfather,
15:34was obsessed with this baby.
15:35He couldn't wait
15:36for the heir to be born.
15:37The truth was,
15:38nobody knew the baby
15:39was already gone,
15:40except for Chelsea.
15:41She had stopped herself
15:42from finishing that sentence
15:43the other night,
15:44but we both knew
15:44exactly what happened.
15:46Time flew by,
15:47and soon it was the day
15:48I was supposed to leave
15:49the country.
15:49It happened to be
15:50Carmine's day off,
15:51and he insisted on
15:52taking me to the amusement park.
15:54My flight wasn't until 8pm,
15:55and he wouldn't stop
15:56nagging me
15:57until I finally gave in.
15:58I put on my thickest clothes
16:00to stay warm.
16:01Then,
16:01I wrapped a long scarf
16:02around me,
16:03making sure my stomach
16:04was completely hidden.
16:05Carmine was so careful
16:07as he helped me
16:07into the car,
16:08acting like I was
16:09made of glass.
16:10At the amusement park,
16:11Carmine locked his fingers
16:12with mine.
16:13He could feel his warmth.
16:14He's always been warmer than me.
16:16Since we got married,
16:17I made him hold my hand
16:18every winter
16:19just to stay warm.
16:21I'm making up
16:22for your childhood, Fiona.
16:23It reminded me
16:24of our honeymoon.
16:25When he asked
16:25where I wanted to go,
16:27I whispered,
16:27The amusement park.
16:29He didn't laugh.
16:30He didn't call me childish.
16:32He just sat down
16:33and carefully planned
16:34every detail of the trip.
16:36That was when
16:36I told him the truth.
16:39I grew up in a house
16:40full of money,
16:41but no love.
16:42Before my brother was born,
16:44my parents were
16:45too busy for me.
16:46They left me with servants,
16:48but when my brother arrived,
16:49everything changed.
16:50They gave him
16:51all their love.
16:52What do you think, buddy?
16:52They took him to the parks,
16:54but me?
16:54They sent me
16:55to a strict finishing school.
16:57They said I had to be
16:58the perfect lady
16:59because I was born
17:01to marry someone powerful.
17:02When Carmine found out,
17:04he made a vow.
17:05This is our fifth year
17:06coming here.
17:07Fiona,
17:08when our child is born,
17:10I'll bring them here
17:11every single year, too.
17:15Snowflakes fall
17:16all around us,
17:17landing on Carmine and me.
17:18He opens an umbrella
17:19to shield me from the wind,
17:20looking at me
17:21with so much love.
17:24Fiona,
17:28why do I feel like
17:29I'm about to lose you?
17:31It's not a feeling,
17:32Carmine.
17:33You are losing me.
17:34But the wind is too loud.
17:35He doesn't hear a word I say.
17:37I'm overthinking it.
17:39We've been married
17:40for so long.
17:41You can't live without me,
17:42and I can't live without you.
17:44I catch his eye
17:45and give him
17:45a cold, silent smirk,
17:47but the sudden ring
17:48of his phone
17:48cuts him off.
17:49He checks the caller ID.
17:51Fiona,
17:52I need to take this.
17:53Hands me the umbrella.
17:55It's strange.
17:56Carmine and I
17:57are standing
17:57right next to each other,
17:59but it feels like
17:59there's a massive canyon
18:01between us
18:02that I can never cross.
18:04Chelsea,
18:05don't be scared.
18:05I'm coming to the hospital
18:07right now.
18:07I'll talk to the staff there.
18:09I won't let anything
18:10happen to you.
18:11This is Carmine
18:12from the Viteroga.
18:13One of our employees,
18:14Chelsea,
18:14just had a fall.
18:15If I hadn't heard it
18:16with my own ears,
18:17I never would have believed it.
18:18I never thought
18:19Carmine would use his power
18:21to pressure a hospital
18:22for someone else.
18:24Fiona,
18:25something happened to Chelsea.
18:26I have to go,
18:27right now.
18:28Wait here for a bit.
18:29I'll have the driver
18:30come pick you up.
18:33Carmine.
18:37Fiona,
18:37what is it?
18:39Our fifth anniversary
18:40is in a few days.
18:42I prepared a gift
18:43for you early.
18:45Make sure you look at it
18:46when you get home.
18:47Carmine looks at me
18:48with a complicated expression.
18:51I don't even bother
18:52trying to figure out
18:53what he's thinking.
18:55Fiona,
18:58after today,
18:58I'm firing Chelsea.
19:00I'm not stupid.
19:01I know exactly
19:02what he's trying to say.
19:03He chose me.
19:04He wants us to start over
19:06and be a real couple again.
19:07I don't know
19:08if his conscience
19:09finally kicked in
19:10or if he just woke up,
19:12but it doesn't matter.
19:13From the very first moment
19:14he betrayed me,
19:15I knew one thing.
19:17I was never
19:18going to forgive him.
19:19On the plane,
19:20I fall into the deepest
19:21sleep I've had in months.
19:24In my dreams,
19:25Carmine isn't there.
19:26Neither is that child.
19:28When I finally open my eyes,
19:29the plane is just
19:31touching down in New Zealand.
19:32We are about to arrive at Auckland
19:32International Parport, New Zealand.
