00:00After a year of not seeing my husband due to our long-distance marriage, I stumble upon his sister-in
00:04-law's Instagram, my dear niece.
00:06In the photo, my husband Ethan holds a baby in one arm and wraps the other around a woman I
00:11do not know.
00:12I quietly notes down the address and close the post.
00:14On the weekend, I go to the address.
00:16The place is lively.
00:18A pretty woman stands at the entrance, holding a one-year-old girl as she greets guests.
00:23She smiles and says to me,
00:25You're Ethan's colleague, right? Come 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. He'll be back soon.
00:39Two 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.
00:49She leads me into the banquet hall.
00:51As soon as I get closer, a middle-aged man says to Hannah with envy,
00:55I really envy Ethan.
00:56Ethan, not 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.
01:15I'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, and he has been cheating with Hannah for more than six of those
01:26years.
01:27What 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.
01:35Honey, I miss you.
01:36For these seven years, his salary goes into our joint account.
01:40He 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.
01:49I 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.
02:20Three 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.
03:08It's just that Ethan is a great man.
03:11I'm lucky to have met him.
03:13A 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.
03:23Every 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.
03:34What'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.
03:53The 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.
04:02Baby, don't tire yourself out.
04:04I picked up my parents.
04:05There's some traffic.
04:06Don't worry.
04:07Hannah answers gently.
04:08I'm not tired.
04:10Take your time driving.
04:11Don't rush.
04:12As 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.
04:37I have never doubted him.
04:40I never thought he was sharing every detail of his life with another woman.
04:47I hold the baby and find an empty seat.
04:52By accident, I notice a custom cross necklace around her neck.
04:58Seven years ago, right after I found out I was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, my mom
05:05had 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.
05:21The 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.
05:41A 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.
05:54This necklace was also custom made by Ethan.
05:56Ethan, you have no idea how much he loves his daughter.
06:00He 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.
06:08Ethan 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.
06:23Sometimes we wouldn't see each other for a whole month.
06:25Good thing we got through it.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Hannah makes no move to take the baby back.
06:32From 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.
06:51Maybe it's because I have a child too.
06:53I'm used to it.
06:54And Shue leaned.
06:55Then I'll trouble you to hold her longer.
06:58I need to greet her over some new guests.
07:00She walks off without worry.
07:02I look at the large banner hanging in the middle of the hall.
07:06Happy first birthday joy.
07:08Daddy and mommy love you.
07:11My son never had a birthday party.
07:13Now 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.
07:36Just text me back.
07:37I open my phone and see to see the message she sent 20 minutes ago.
07:42Claire, one of Ethan's cousins just had a baby.
07:46I 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, turning 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.
08:04I still do not respond.
08:06Soon, another message pops up.
08:11She starts blaming me.
08:13I always thought you were sensible.
08:15I didn't expect you to be this kind of person.
08:18Fine.
08:19Forget it.
08:20I'll figure it out myself.
08:22When Hannah comes back, she is on the phone.
08:25I clearly hear Ethan's voice through the receiver.
08:29Baby, my 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.
08:43Two days ago, my son left for summer camp.
08:46Before he left,
08:48my mother-in-law told him to take off his necklace
08:50so he would not lose it.
08:53After he took it off,
08:54he casually handed it to her for safekeeping.
08:57I never thought she would use my son's necklace
09:00as a gift for Ethan's illegitimate daughter.
09:03Hannah smiles sweetly.
09:05Then thank mom for me.
09:06She's so thoughtful.
09:08My mother-in-law's voice comes through the phone.
09:11What's there to thank?
09:12This is what I should do as a grandmother.
09:15You gave me such a precious granddaughter.
09:18I should be thanking you.
09:20We'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.
09:30I keep holding their illegitimate daughter.
09:35Your birthday party will be unforgettable for everyone.
09:40Finally, 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?
09:53Dear,
09:54your bastard child is in my arms.
09:56All eyes turn to me on the stage.
10:00Then chaos erupts.
10:02Hannah runs to me,
10:03holding back her emotions,
10:05and speaks gently.
10:06I don't even know how to address you.
10:08I thought you were Ethan's colleague.
10:12Ma'am,
10:13do you have some conflict with Ethan?
10:16We can talk this through.
10:17Can you give me the baby first?
10:19I do not give the baby back.
10:21Instead,
10:22I tell her,
10:23I
10:24am his wife of seven years.
10:26We have a six-year-old son.
10:29Tell me,
10:30do we have a conflict?
10:32Hannah's face turns pale.
10:34She staggers back a step.
10:36Shock fills her eyes,
10:37and tears stream down her face.
10:39How is that possible?
10:41Darling, tell me,
10:42how many years have we been married?
10:46All eyes burn toward him.
10:48Voices rise from the crowd.
10:50I always thought Ethan was on his second marriage.
10:52Turns out,
10:53he never divorced.
10:54So who is his real wife?
10:56Why are there suddenly two wives?
10:58No wonder the woman on stage
11:00was so quiet earlier.
11:01I knew something was off.
11:03I look at my in-laws,
11:04just as humiliated,
11:06and say on purpose,
11:07Dad,
11:08Mom,
11:08tell them,
11:09who is your daughter-in-law?
11:11My in-laws lower their heads
11:13and say nothing.
11:14Ethan looks like a knife
11:15is pressed to his throat
11:16as he slowly walks onto the stage.
11:19Hannah grabs his arm,
11:21crying.
11:22Say something!
11:24What is going on?
11:29Which one of us is the other woman?
11:31Don't get worked up.
11:33I'll explain everything to you slowly.
11:36Hannah refuses to back down.
11:40No.
11:41No.
11:42I want you to say it now.
11:44She showed up at our baby's birthday party
11:46and made a scene.
11:47This has to be made clear
11:48in front of everyone.
11:49Whether I'm the other woman
11:51or she is,
11:52we were both deceived.
11:54We're both victims.
11:56I recognize that ring.
11:58When I married Ethan,
11:59I fell in love
12:00with that exact design
12:02at first sight.
12:03But it was too expensive,
12:05so I chose a simpler one.
12:07Back then,
12:08Ethan'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,
12:17but the ring is on another woman's hand.
12:20Ethan looks at me.
12:21His eyes are filled
12:22with tangled emotions.
12:24Shame weighing on him.
12:26His lips move with difficulty.
12:28I'm sorry.
12:29Please stop making a scene.
12:31Can we talk?
12:32At home?
12:33Dear,
12:34what did you say?
12:35Go home?
12:37Which home?
12:39Do you mean the home we share
12:41or the one you share with Hannah?
12:44He looks even more ashamed,
12:46unable to face me.
12:47He steps forward
12:48and reaches for my microphone.
12:50I'm begging you.
12:52Stop this.
12:53I take a step back
12:54and pull my arm away.
12:56I do not let him take the microphone.
12:59Answer me.
13:00Who is your wife?
13:02What are you doing here today?
13:05Hannah rushes forward,
13:07grabbing his arm,
13:08her voice shaking.
13:09Say it!
13:10Ethan is forced into a corner.
13:13He has no choice but to answer.
13:17You are my wife.
13:18I'm sorry.
13:20I shouldn't have cheated.
13:22The crowd explodes.
13:27Hannah breaks down,
13:28crying as she hits him over and over.
13:31Then what am I?
13:33How could you do this to me, Ethan?
13:35Ethan!
13:39She suddenly remembers something
13:40and clutches his arm tightly.
13:42No.
13:43No, that's not right.
13:44We have a marriage certificate.
13:46I'm your legal wife.
13:49The certificate is fake.
13:53Hannah's legs give out.
13:55She collapses to the floor,
13:57her sobs tearing through the room.
14:00Fake!
14:00She cries out,
14:02her voice breaking.
14:05You gave me a ring.
14:07You gave me a wedding.
14:11You stood in a church
14:12and made vows in front of everyone.
14:17Now we even have a child
14:18and you're telling me it was all fake?
14:21Ethan,
14:23how could you do this to me?
14:26He treats you better than he treats me.
14:29He buys you real Tiffany every year.
14:32The ones he gives me are fake.
14:36He 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.
14:48I lift the necklace from her daughter's neck.
14:51Do you know where this necklace came from?
14:54Seven years ago,
14:56I was pregnant with twins for Ethan.
15:00My mom specially had a pair of necklaces made.
15:04She even had the names engraved on the back
15:07and took them to church for a priest blessing.
15:10And the name your daughter has now
15:12was the name I chose for my unborn daughter.
15:16I never thought he would give my daughter's things to your daughter.
15:21I turned to my in-laws,
15:23standing in the middle of the crowd.
15:25My dear mother-in-law even planned to give the necklace my son is wearing now
15:30to this illegitimate child.
15:33Seven years of marriage.
15:35How have I treated you?
15:39You always said we're family.
15:42Is this what you call love?
15:45In these seven years, you Charles in and out hospital.
15:49I was the one taking care of you.
15:53Even your night crew op day and wadding mom,
15:55I soshed him by hand for seven years.
15:58Since I married Ethan,
16:00you have not cooked a single meal.
16:03Two days ago,
16:04you said you were going on a trip.
16:06I even gave you a thousand dollars.
16:09I treated you like my own parents.
16:12And you?
16:13How did you treat me?
16:15How did you treat your only grandson?
16:18My mother-in-law is called out in front of everyone.
16:23She is so ashamed,
16:24she cannot even lift her head.
16:26The whispers from the crowd
16:28strips away every last bit of their dignity.
16:31Unbelievable.
16:33Ethan cheats,
16:34and his parents were in on it the whole time?
16:37Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?
16:40That poor woman gave seven years to this family.
16:44What a waste.
16:46Ethan walks toward me again.
16:48He pulls me into a tight embrace.
16:51Claire, I'm sorry.
16:52I'm a piece of shit.
16:54His voice breaks,
16:56thick with tears.
16:57I'll never do it again.
17:00Forgive me.
17:01Just this once.
17:03Please.
17:04Held in his arms.
17:06I start crying.
17:07Hannah watches him hold me and apologize.
17:10She cries.
17:11Then lets out a bitter laugh, too.
17:16She gets up from the floor.
17:18Grabs Ethan's arm.
17:20Pulls us apart.
17:21What about me?
17:23What about me?
17:23How are you going to answer to me?
17:25You bastard!
17:27She almost falls again.
17:29Her whole body trembles.
17:30She sways.
17:32Her makeup ruined by tears.
17:34I'm sorry.
17:35I lied to you,
17:36and I wasted your time.
17:37You'll meet someone better.
17:39Not someone like me.
17:44Hannah bursts into hysterical laughter.
17:47Trash!
17:48Trash!
17:49Ethan does not spare her another glance.
17:52Honey,
17:53can we go home?
17:56What about her?
17:57What are you going to do?
17:59I know you've always wanted a daughter.
18:01If you're willing to raise her,
18:03we can keep her with us.
18:04Oh!
18:05Hannah stumbles toward me
18:07and drops to her knees.
18:11Claire.
18:13Claire,
18:14I'm begging you.
18:15Give me my child.
18:19I won't fight you for Ethan.
18:21I'll give him back to you.
18:24She cries so hard
18:26she can barely breathe.
18:30My child can't go with you.
18:32I didn't mean to be the other woman.
18:34I truly didn't know he had a family.
18:37Please give my baby back to me.
18:42I reach out and take off the necklace
18:44from the baby's neck.
18:45Don't worry.
18:47I won't hurt her.
18:49If I wanted to,
18:51I wouldn't have waited until now.
18:53As I speak,
18:54I remove the necklace.
18:55The baby whimmers.
18:57Probably hungry.
18:58Hannah pleads.
19:00She's hungry.
19:01Please,
19:02let me feed her.
19:03Can I have her back?
19:04I need you to answer a few questions.
19:06Don't worry.
19:07I won't take your child.
19:08I have my own.
19:10She nods.
19:11It seems she will answer anything she knows.
19:14Since you've been together,
19:16how much money has Ethan give you?
19:18The wedding cost about $50,000.
19:21After we got married,
19:23he gave me $10,000 a month
19:24and every year he buys me jewelry.
19:27In these six years,
19:28it's about $800,000.
19:32After I married him,
19:33I stopped working.
19:36I really didn't know
19:38he was already married.
19:39I really didn't know
19:41he was already married.
19:44I know you'll sue
19:45to get back every dollar
19:46he spent on me.
19:52So I won't lie to you.
19:55I calm down a little
19:56and ask her,
19:57If I ask you to return the money,
19:59will you?
20:00She nods without hesitation.
20:02Yes.
20:03I'll write you a check.
20:05Right now.
20:12Hannah takes out her checkbook
20:13without a second thought.
20:15She lowers her head,
20:16writes quickly,
20:17I've returned the money.
20:19I'm giving the man back to you too.
20:23I only want my child.
20:25Can you give her back to me?
20:34This is your child.
20:36No one can take her from you.
20:41I'll take the money.
20:42I don't want the man.
20:44As soon as I finish speaking,
20:46I walk out without looking back.
20:48Ethan does not hesitate.
20:50He immediately runs after me.
20:55We return to the home
20:57we have lived in for seven years.
20:59Ethan comes closer,
21:00reaching out to hold me,
21:02apologizing sincerely.
21:03There won't be a next time.
21:06Just this once.
21:08I shove his arm away.
21:10Don't touch me!
21:11Ethan does not dare
21:12to come for closer.
21:13He keeps begging for forgiveness.
21:15Honey,
21:16I'm sorry.
21:18I really lost my head
21:20for a moment.
21:22I promise
21:23I'll cut her off.
21:25From now on,
21:26our family
21:26will live a good life together.
21:28Okay?
21:29My in-laws come back.
21:30My mother-in-law speaks
21:31with a trace of guilt,
21:33her tone heavy.
21:34Claire,
21:35I know this has hurt you deeply.
21:37But there's nothing I can do.
21:40That child out there
21:41is still Ethan's.
21:43I hope
21:44you don't dwell on this.
21:46Just live your life
21:48as usual.
21:49My father-in-law adds,
21:51This is already blown up today.
21:53Let's not bring it up again.
21:56Just
21:58live your life
22:00properly.
22:02This marriage
22:03is over.
22:05Ethan,
22:06you disgust me.
22:10My eyes re-reddens
22:11despite myself.
22:13He looks at me helplessly.
22:15Then tell me,
22:17what will it take
22:18for you to forgive me?
22:20As long as I can do it,
22:22I'll do anything for you.
22:25Hatred surges up
22:26from deep inside me.
22:27The words spill out.
22:30Then,
22:31go die.
22:32Just go die!
22:37I go back to the bedroom
22:38and lock the door.
22:41Still in my shoes,
22:42I step onto the bed.
22:46I take the photo down
22:48and stab Ethan's face
22:49over and over
22:50with scissors.
22:53The deeper I once loved,
22:55the deeper I now hate.
22:58It tears my heart apart.
23:01Outside the door,
23:03Ethan keeps trying to coax me.
23:05Claire!
23:07Please!
23:08Open!
23:15After I calm down,
23:18I start packing
23:19my personal belongings.
23:21I send a message
23:23to my lawyer
23:23that I want a divorce.
