00:01I hadn't seen my husband in the whole year because of his work transfer
00:05Then I ran into his co-worker at the mall
00:07She smiled and greeted me
00:09Congrats! I heard you guys had a baby girl
00:14She is dead
00:17I froze, completely stunned
00:19I'll definitely be at the baby shower this weekend
00:21They really put thought into these invitations
00:24So pretty
00:25I forced a smile and took the invitation from her to look at it
00:29Under father, I saw my husband's name, David Mitchell
00:32Under mother, it said Wendy Clark
00:34I didn't know this woman
00:36I memorized the hotel address
00:38Thanks! See you this weekend
00:40That weekend, I went to the hotel on the invitation
00:46The venue was packed
00:47A pretty woman stood at the door
00:49Holding a one-month-old baby girl
00:51Greeting her
00:52You must be one of David's co-works
00:54So many beautiful women at his company
00:56Come on in and have a seat
00:58My stomach turned
00:59I looked at the baby in the arms
01:01Bare skin
01:04Something about the baby's eyes and brows reminded me of David
01:07I kept my face blank
01:08Where's David? I can't see him
01:10He was nowhere to be seen
01:12But I spotted a few of David's relatives who looked familiar
01:15I'd only met David's family once
01:18At our wedding seven years ago
01:20Jane, will you marry me?
01:23Yes, I do
01:27But I remembered a few of the older relatives
01:30With distinctive faces
01:35I never thought David would be bold enough to show off his bastard in front of his whole family
01:40David went to pick up my in-laws
01:41He'll be back soon
01:42Another blow to my chest
01:44Like a hole punched through me
01:46I couldn't breathe
01:47She is dead
01:49David went to pick up my in-laws
01:51He'll be back soon
01:52Another blow to my chest
01:54Like a hole punched through me
01:55She is dead
01:59We signed up for a senior citizens tour group
02:03We are traveling for two weeks
02:06That's awesome
02:07I was worried they couldn't afford it on their savings
02:10So I wired my mother-in-law
02:12Linda
02:13$3,000 for the trip
02:16They'd been in poor health for years
02:18Always on medication
02:19And had never traveled
02:21They said they wanted to get out and relax
02:23I was happy for them
02:24All these years I'd treated them like my own parents
02:27You are a good wife and the best daughter-in-law
02:31Turns out they'd been playing me for a fool
02:34Wendy didn't notice the storm in my eyes
02:39David's colleague's seat is this way
02:40Please follow me
02:41The moment I got close
02:43A middle-aged man said to Wendy
02:45David's a lucky man
02:47Beautiful wife and now a beautiful daughter
02:49Thank you
02:50Wendy, you really made the right call
02:51When you quit your job to be a stay-at-home wife
02:53I was a little worried for you
02:54Six years later, you and David are still this happy
02:57And now you have a baby
02:58I'm really happy for you two
03:00My hands curled into fists
03:02My nails dug into my palms
03:04I'd only been married to David for seven years
03:07And he'd been cheating on me with Wendy for over six
03:11The most pathetic part was that in all seven years
03:14I never had a clue
03:15Even this morning he'd sent me a good morning kiss like he always did
03:19With a message
03:24The most pathetic part was that in all seven years
03:26I never had a clue
03:28Even this morning he'd sent me a good morning kiss like he always did
03:32With a message
03:34For seven years we had a good marriage
03:36He never once lost his temper with me
03:38His salary was $8,000 a month
03:40And he only kept $500 for himself
03:42The rest he gave to me
03:44Every year he used his bonus to buy me a diamond bracelet
03:47A year ago he came to me
03:49If I transfer to another city
03:51My monthly salary will increase by $2,000
03:53I want to earn more money to save for our son Ethan
03:56After thinking it over
03:58I agreed to let him transfer to a city across the state
04:01Now I realized it was all lies
04:04David's doing so well
04:05Top salesman every year
04:07His base pay alone is $8,000 now
04:09And his commissions are through the roof
04:11Makes good money and treats his wife right
04:14Hard to find a man like that
04:16So his base salary was all he'd ever told me about
04:20His commissions had been going to his other family this whole time
04:24Wendy's face glowed with happiness
04:26Everyone here is doing great too
04:27Time really flies
04:29I went to your wedding six years ago
04:31And now you already have a baby
04:33They even had a wedding
04:34When I married David
04:36He had a small ceremony back in his hometown
04:38He didn't invite any co-workers
04:40I stood in the crowd and listened
04:42Wendy, you've got David wrapped around your finger
04:45Teach me
04:45How do you get a man to treat you that good?
04:48David's just a good man
04:49I'm lucky to have him
04:51Couples need to understand each other
04:53And if you're worried about him straying
04:54Keep the money in your hand
05:03David gives me his whole paycheck
05:05He only keeps $500 a month for cigarettes
05:07Every year his bonus goes to buying me a diamond bracelet
05:11A man's money is where his heart is
05:15His bonus went to buying Wendy diamond bracelets
05:19Then, what had he been buying me?
05:21The emotions hit me like a tidal wave
05:23Rising up to my throat
05:25They were all chatting away
05:26And not a single one of them noticed me sitting there shocked
05:30Wendy's phone rang
05:31She smiled
05:33David's calling me
05:34She handed the baby to me without thinking
05:36Hold her for a sec
05:39I hesitated
05:40The baby was light as cotton
05:42Lying quietly in my arms
05:44She looked up at me with bright, shiny eyes
05:47I looked down at her
05:49My emotions a tangled mess
05:51She is dead
05:51I was on the edge of falling apart
05:54But holding this soft little thing in my arms
05:56I pushed it all back down
05:59Wendy was right next to me
06:01David's voice came through the phone
06:02Loud and clear
06:04Babe
06:04You just got through your recovery
06:06Don't wear yourself out
06:08I picked up mom and dad
06:10Traffic's a little bad
06:12But don't worry, okay?
06:14Wendy was sweet about it
06:15I'm fine
06:17Drive safe
06:18Take your time
06:19The second she hung up
06:21The people around us started gushing
06:24You two are so in love
06:26He texts you every hour at the office
06:32You've been together all these years
06:34And it hasn't faded one bit
06:36If anything, it's gotten stronger
06:37David acts like you're gonna run away
06:39Calls you every five minutes
06:42Wendy, you really found a good one
06:44Even if every other man in the world cheats
06:46David never would
06:50I used to think David was devoted to me
06:52He called once a day
06:53Sent a text
06:54I never once suspected he had someone else
06:57Work
06:58Home
06:58Our son
07:00Every minute of my day was full
07:02He was always busy too
07:03Every time he called
07:05It was quick
07:07Turns out he'd been sharing every little detail of his life with another woman
07:11That is when I noticed a pendant on the baby's wrist
07:14The charm was an angel
07:16I recognized it instantly
07:18Seven years ago
07:20When I first found out I was carrying twins
07:22My mother went to a jeweler
07:24And had a pair of christening pendants made
07:27But things didn't go as planned
07:29She is dead
07:30There were complications during delivery
07:31We only saved our son
07:33My body was damaged too
07:35I could never have another baby
07:37The pendants
07:39One with a cross
07:40My son Ethan had worn on his wrist since the day he was born
07:45The other one with an angel
07:47I kept locked in the safe at home
07:49Whenever I think of my daughter
07:51I take it out and cry
07:52I ran my fingers over the angel charm and turned it over
07:57Sophie
07:58That was the name I'd picked out for our daughter who never got to be born
08:02My daughter's name is Sophie
08:04David picked it
08:05Wendy smiled and sat down next to me
08:07He had this pendant custom made too
08:10You have no idea how much he wanted a daughter
08:12My heart cracked into a thousand pieces
08:15I kept my face still
08:17He really treats you well
08:19Wendy smiled and started chatting with me like we were old friends
08:25You must be new at the company, right?
08:26I used to know all the old employees
08:28I left a while ago
08:29David told me they hired a lot of new people
08:34Yeah
08:35The company's got good benefits
08:36Just a lot of travel
08:38David only stopped traveling this past year
08:40Before that he was always on the road
08:41Sometimes I wouldn't see him for a whole month
08:45But we made it through
08:47Yeah
08:49Before David's so-called transfer last year
08:51He used to travel for work about half of every month
08:55I felt bad for him
08:56Bouncing between different cities all the time
08:59I handled everything at home without bothering him
09:01Even when his parents got sick
09:03Went to the hospital
09:04Needed someone by their bedside
09:06I took care of all of it
09:09Even though our intimacy had been fading over the years
09:12I never complained
09:13Now I knew he was never traveling for work
09:17He was taking care of his other family
09:19Wendy had no intention of taking the baby back
09:22She kept getting up to greet friends and relatives
09:25My daughter really likes you
09:27Whenever anyone else holds her, she starts crying
09:31She's been in your arms this whole time
09:32And hasn't cried once
09:33That's amazing
09:37My daughter really likes you
09:38Whenever anyone else holds her, she starts crying
09:42She's been in your arms this whole time
09:44And hasn't cried once
09:45That's amazing
09:47Probably because I have a kid too
09:48I've had practice
09:50Then do you mind holding her a little longer?
09:52I need to go greet some guests who just showed up
09:53I nodded
09:55She went off to greet them
09:58I looked at the large banner hanging in the center of the venue
10:01My body felt like it had been filled with broken glass
10:05My son, Ethan, never had a baby shower
10:08Back then, the whole family was drowning in grief over losing the other baby
10:12David said he didn't want to have one
10:15My parents disagreed
10:16They thought a celebration was important for a newborn
10:20But he insisted
10:21Losing our daughter was too painful
10:24Now he had a daughter
10:26And he could throw a party like nothing ever happened
10:29I was the only one who still remembered the daughter who never got to be born
10:37Jane, I sent you a text
10:38Didn't you see it?
10:40No
10:46Jane, I sent you a text
10:48Didn't you see it?
10:49No
10:49Are you at the store?
10:51It's kind of loud on your end
10:52Check the text I sent you
10:53I can't hear you
10:54Just text me back
11:00Jane, one of the relatives back home just had a baby
11:02I need to send a gift
11:04I'm short of cash
11:05Can you send me $3,000?
11:07You know how it is with family
11:08This whole family been playing me for a fool
11:11Now they wanted me to pay for gift money for his bastard
11:14I didn't text her back
11:16She sent another message pushing me
11:19Are you going to send it or not?
11:21We can't look cheap in front of family
11:24I was going to let her come to me
11:26A minute later, another text popped up
11:29She scolded me
11:31I always thought you were a reasonable woman
11:34Fine, if you won't send it, I'll figure it out myself
11:41I always thought you were a reasonable woman
11:44Fine, if you won't send it, I'll figure it out myself
11:49All that talk about how lucky they were to have me
11:52How they loved me
11:53All of it was a joke
11:55Wendy came back
11:56On the phone
11:58I could clearly hear David's voice through the speaker
12:01Babe, mom got another piece of jewelry for our little girl
12:04She doesn't need to
12:05Our baby's got plenty of jewelry already
12:07This one's different
12:09It's an heirloom piece
12:10Your mother had it custom-made and blessed
12:13It's special
12:15This isn't just any piece of jewelry
12:18My blood was on fire
12:20I nearly lost it right there
12:22Two days ago, Ethan left for summer camp
12:25Before he left
12:27Linda told him to take off his pendant
12:29So he wouldn't lose it
12:30Ethan took it off and handed it to her for safekeeping
12:33Tell mom thank you for me
12:35She's so thoughtful
12:36Don't thank me
12:38I'm her grandma
12:39You gave me a beautiful angel
12:41I should be thanking you
12:43We're almost there
12:44Thanks for holding things down with the guests
12:46As soon as the call ended
12:48Wendy reached for the baby
12:49But then new guests arrived
12:52She rushed off to greet them
12:54I kept holding their bastard
12:56The baby was strangely quiet in my arms
12:59I looked down at her and whispered
13:01Your baby shower is going to be one
13:03Nobody ever forgets
13:05Finally, I heard David and his parents arriving through the crowd
13:10I carried his bastard up to where the stage was settled
13:21Honey, I'm holding your bastard right now
13:26Every pair of eyes turned to me on the stage
13:29Then the place erupted
13:31The guests' whispers sounded like boiling water
13:33David stared up at me like he'd been struck by lightning
13:36My in-laws looked even worse
13:39Wendy was completely stunned
13:42But she still instinctively chose to trust David
13:46She ran to my side and held back her emotions
13:48I don't even know what to call you
13:50I always thought you were one of David's co-workers
13:52My cold face and sharp eyes scared her
13:55Ma'am, do you have some kind of issue with David?
13:58She was terrified that I might hurt her child if I got too emotional
14:01We can talk this out
14:02Can you give me my baby first?
14:04I didn't hand the baby over
14:05Instead, I told her
14:07I'm Jane Mitchell
14:08His wife of seven years
14:10We have a six-year-old son
14:12So you tell me
14:14Do I have an issue with him?
14:17Wendy's face went white
14:18She couldn't believe it
14:20Tears ran down her face in straight lines
14:25That's not possible
14:30David, tell me
14:31How many years have we been married?
14:33I threw the question at David on purpose
14:35Every pair of eyes in the room burned into David like fire
14:38He stood frozen in place
14:40Guilty and exposed
14:42I always thought David got remarried
14:44Turns out he never even got divorced
14:46So who's actually his wife?
14:48He's got two of them now
14:48No wonder that woman on stage wasn't talking earlier
14:51I knew something was off about her
14:52Mom
14:54Dad
14:55Tell me
14:55Which one of us is your daughter-in-law?
14:58Wendy stared at them too
15:00My in-laws kept their heads down
15:02They didn't answer
15:04David walked toward the stage
15:07Say something
15:08What the hell is going on?
15:11Which one of us is the other woman?
15:14Don't get worked up
15:15I'll explain everything
15:17David tried to calm her down
15:20I want you to tell me right now!
15:23She pointed at me with the hand wearing her wedding ring
15:27She came to our baby's party and made a scene!
15:29You need to clear this up in front of everyone
15:32Whether I'm the other woman or she is
15:35Or we're both victims!
15:37I recognized that ring
15:39When David and I got married
15:41I fell in love with that exact style
15:43But it cost over $5,000
15:45Too expensive
15:47So I picked a simple gold band for $300 instead
15:50David's eyes had turned red that day
15:52I swear
15:53I'll buy you the most expensive one here
15:55Is where a day
15:57When I see afford it
15:59I'll buy the one you want
16:02When I see afford it
16:04I'll buy the one you want
16:06He could afford it now
16:08But the ring was on another woman's hand
16:10David looked up at me
16:11His eyes were a mess of guilt and shame all tangled together
16:14I'm sorry
16:17Please stop
16:19Can we talk about this at home?
16:23I was so angry
16:24I asked loudly
16:25What did you say, honey?
16:28My voice went through the microphone
16:30And reached every ear in the room
16:33You said go home?
16:35Which home?
16:36The one you have with me?
16:38Or the one you have with Wendy?
16:40He looked even more ashamed
16:41He couldn't face me
16:45Please
16:46Stop
16:48I stepped back and pulled my arm away
16:50Answer me
16:51How many homes do you have?
16:53Who is your wife?
16:54What are you doing here today?
16:57Wendy rushed forward
16:59Grabbed his arm
17:00Say it!
17:01David had no choice but to answer
17:03You're my wife
17:05I'm sorry
17:06I shouldn't have cheated
17:07The crowd exploded
17:08Wendy broke down crying
17:10And started hitting him
17:11Then what am I, David?
17:12How could you do this to me?
17:14She suddenly remembered something
17:16Wait
17:17We have a marriage sentence
17:18You married me
17:19It was official
17:22The license is fake
17:23Wendy's legs gave out
17:25And she collapsed to the floor
17:26Her cries could break your heart
17:28Fake!
17:28You gave me a ring
17:29You gave me a wedding
17:30You came to my parents' funeral
17:33In mourning
17:35Now we have a child together
17:37And you're telling me it's all fake?
17:40David
17:40How could you do this to me?
17:44He treated you better than he treated me
17:45He only gave me his base salary
17:48$8,000 a month
17:49All his commissions went to you
17:50Every year he bought you real diamond bracelets
17:53The ones he bought me were fake
17:54Cubic Zillanonite
17:55The work transfer was a lie too
17:57He's been living with you
17:58Playing house
17:59Being your husband
18:00Do you know where this pendant came from?
18:03She stared at me blankly
18:04Waiting
18:06Seven years ago
18:09I was pregnant with David's twins
18:12My mother had a matching pair of Christing pendants
18:14Custom made
18:15She had Sophie engraved on the back
18:17And had a pastor bless them
18:18Oh and your daughter's name
18:19Sophie
18:20That was the name I picked for my daughter
18:22The one who didn't make it
18:26I never imagined he'd give my daughter's things
18:28To your daughter
18:30My voice broke as I said it
18:32Thinking about the baby I lost
18:34Still cut me to the bone
18:35I looked at my in-laws standing in the middle of the crowd
18:40And my dear mother-in-law was about to take my son's pendant
18:43The matching one
18:45And give it to this illegitimate granddaughter
18:47My heart froze inch by inch
18:49Years of giving everything to this family
18:52And this was how they stabbed me in the back
18:54It was like a hand around my throat
18:56Choking the life out of me
18:58Seven years of marriage
18:59How did I treat all of you?
19:01You said over and over that you treated me like your own daughter
19:04Is this how you treat your daughter?
19:06Seven years
19:07How many times did you two end up in the hospital?
19:09I was there every single time
19:11By your bed
19:12Taking care of everything
19:14Your underwear and socks, mom
19:16I hand washed them for you
19:17For seven years
19:18Since the day I married into this family
19:21You never cooked a single meal
19:22Two days ago you said you wanted to go on vacation
19:25I wired $3,000 for the trip
19:27I treated you like my own parents
19:29And how did you treat me?
19:31How did you treat your only grandson?
19:34Linda wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear
19:36The whispers from the guests stripped every last bit of dignity from the two of them
19:40I can't believe it
19:42The husband's trash?
19:43Fine
19:44But parents who cover for their son's cheating and help him keep a mistress?
19:48Like parents like son
19:49They raised a wolf
19:53A daughter-in-law that good
19:55And they didn't know what they had
19:56Anyone who marries into that family is cursed
19:59David walked up to me again
20:01His eyes red and wet
20:03He pulled me into a tight hug
20:08Jane, I'm sorry
20:09I'm a piece of shit
20:10His voice cracked
20:11I put you through hell
20:13I'll never do it again
20:14Forgive me this once
20:16I was an idiot
20:17I was so wrong
20:18He held me
20:19I cried
20:20Then the tears turned into a cold, bitter laugh
20:23Wendy watched him hold me and apologize
20:25She cried too
20:26Then she laughed the same cold laugh
20:28She got up off the floor and grabbed David's arm
20:32What about me?
20:33What do you have to say to me?
20:35You bastard!
20:37I'm sorry
20:38Her makeup was ruined with tears
20:39I lied to you
20:39I wasted your time
20:41David said, full of guilt
20:42You'll find someone better
20:43Someone who isn't garbage like me
20:45I laughed
20:46So he knew he was garbage
20:48Wendy let out a wild, unhinged laugh
20:53A piece of shit?
20:55A piece of shit is what you are!
20:58David didn't give her another glance
20:59He looked at me and his eyes went red again
21:03Babe, can we go home?
21:04I looked down at the baby in my arms
21:06She was starting to cry
21:08What about her?
21:09What are you going to do?
21:11I know you've always wanted a daughter
21:15If you want to keep her, we can raise her
21:17Wendy's legs nearly gave out
21:18Her eyes, which had been bright and shiny before
21:21Were now overflowing with tears
21:25Please, please
21:26She carefully reached out with both hands
21:27Give me my baby
21:28Still terrified that if she upset me
21:31I'd hurt her child
21:32I won't fight you for him
21:34You can have him back
21:39She sobbed so hard she couldn't breathe
21:46My baby can't go with you
21:50I wasn't the other woman
21:52I really didn't know he was married
21:56Please
21:58Give me my baby back
22:01She was a victim too
22:03I never blamed her
22:05Watching her kneel in front of me for her child
22:08Begging like that
22:09As a mother
22:10I felt it
22:11I started taking the pendant off the baby's wrist
22:14She was so scared I'd hurt the baby
22:17That she wanted to tell me to be gentle
22:19But didn't dare
22:21Relax
22:22I won't hurt her
22:23If I wanted to hurt her
22:25I wouldn't have waited this long
22:26I got the pendant off
22:28While I was talking
22:30Wendy begged me for heartbreaking
22:36Wendy begged me for heartbreaking
22:38She's hungry
22:39Let me feed her
22:40Please give her to me
22:42I need you to answer a few questions first
22:44Don't worry
22:45I'm not taking your child
22:46I have my own
22:47She nodded
22:47She seemed ready to answer anything
22:50I asked
22:50Since you two got together
22:52Including the wedding costs
22:53How throttch money has David give you?
22:55She didn't hesitate
22:56She looked me in the eye
22:57For the winning
22:58He gave me 30,000
23:00The shorey set about 25,000
23:05After we got married
23:06He gave me 5 to 8,000 a month
23:09Every year his bonus went to buying me a bracelet
23:14In total about 350,000
23:17Plus about 50,000 in jewelry
23:20I haven't worked since we got married
23:22I really didn't know he was already married
23:25I know you're going to sue
23:26To get back every cent he spent on me
23:28I calmed down a little and asked her
23:31If I ask you to pay it back
23:33Will you?
23:34She nodded without hesitating
23:36Give me your account number
23:38I'll transfer it right now
23:39I was surprised she agreed that fast
23:44I pulled out my phone and showed her my account
23:46Wendy didn't hesitate
23:48She took out her phone and made the transfer
23:50In less than a minute
23:51$400,000 hit my account
23:56The money
23:58I've paid it back
23:59The man
24:01I'm giving him back too
24:02I just want my baby
24:04Can I have her now?
24:06She softened me
24:07Her past few years had been just as pathetic and laughable as my hands
24:11I walked over and helped her up
24:13I placed the baby gently in her arms
24:16She held the baby tight
24:18Terrified someone would snatch her away
24:20She finally let out a breath of relief
24:22I said to her
24:23I'll take the money
24:24But I don't want the man
24:26She froze for a second
24:28Stunned
24:29With that
24:30I walked out
24:32David didn't hesitate
24:33He chased after me
24:39We went back to the house we'd lived in for seven years
24:42A family portrait hung on the living room wall
24:46Before
24:47Coming home to see that photo on the wall used to make me feel warm
24:51Now
24:52It felt like a knife cutting into my chest
24:56Never again
24:57I promise
24:58Just this once
25:00Don't touch me
25:01My voice was so loud it made my head and throat hurt
25:05My stomach churned with nausea
25:07Since finding out he'd been cheating with Wendy for over six years
25:11The thought of him made my skin crawl
25:13David didn't dare come near me again
25:15I'm sorry babe
25:16I really just lost my mind for a while
25:20I swear I'll cut things off with her
25:22We'll be a real family again, okay?
25:24His parents came home
25:26Linda wore a stiff look of guilt
25:29There's nothing I can do
25:30That child out there is still David's
25:33I hope you won't dwell on this
25:35Life goes on
25:36What happened today is out in the open now
25:39Let's not bring it up again
25:40Let's just move forward
25:42They said it like it was nothing
25:43As if my refusing to forgive and accept was the problem
25:47I stared at David and told him
25:50This marriage is over
25:53David, you make me sick
25:55His eyes turned red
25:56Then tell me
25:59What do I have to do for you to forgive me?
26:02Anything
26:02Whatever it takes
26:03I'll do it
26:05The hatred boiled up from inside me and burst out
26:08Go die
26:09Just go die
26:12I was falling apart
26:14David froze
26:15All he could see in my eyes was disgust
26:18And hate
26:19He finally understood
26:21I was never going to forgive him
26:23I went to the bedroom and locked the door behind me
26:26I leaned against the door and saw the wedding photo on the wall
26:30David smiling
26:33I went to the bedroom and locked the door behind me
26:37I leaned against the door and saw the wedding photo on the wall
26:40David smiling
26:42His arms around me from behind
26:44I couldn't stand to look at it for one more second
26:47I climbed onto the bed with my shoes on
26:49Took down the photo
26:50And stabbed David's face with scissors
26:53Over and over
26:54The deeper I once loved him
26:56The deeper I hated him
26:58And in that moment
26:59It tore my heart wide open
27:01David's voice
27:02Coming through the door
27:03Trying to calm me down
27:05When I finally stopped shaking
27:06I started packing my things
27:08I texted my lawyer
27:10I wanted a divorce
27:12When I left the Mitchell house
27:14I made Linda give back Ethan's pendant
27:20David couldn't stop me
27:21When I reached the door
27:23He dropped to his knees in front of me
27:26I know I was wrong
27:28For Ethan's sake
27:29Give me one last chance
27:31Please
27:34His begging
27:35His kneeling
27:36His tears
27:37Every bit of it was disgusting
27:41I'm setting you free
27:42You and Wendy
27:43You should be happy about that
27:45No more sneaking around
27:46No more being stuck between two women
27:50You should be thanking me
27:51He grabbed my hands again
27:53His eyes were bloodshot
27:54And full of regret
27:55I don't want to lose this family
27:58I don't want to lose you
28:00You matter to me
28:01I'll end things with her for good
28:03I let out a cold
28:04Knock and laugh
28:05And pulled my hand back
28:06And slapped him hard across the face
28:09David
28:10David you disgust me
28:12If you really cared
28:13You never would have hurt me
28:14A handprint showed on his face
28:16He stood frozen
28:17I slammed the door
28:19And left
28:26I drove to the other house
28:28It was a place I'd bought out of
28:30A few years ago
28:32I took out a mortgage on this place
28:35Last year
28:36I'd finally paid it off with our income
28:39We'd planned to leave this house for Ethan when he grew up
28:42Now it was going to be the home for me and my son
28:45The next day
28:46I realized I'd left my work laptop at the old house
28:48When I went back to get it
28:50I heard Linda's voice through the front door
28:52She was talking to David
28:56Jane's not coming back
28:58Let her go
28:58It's better this way
29:00Wendy's got a better temper than her
29:02And Wendy's parents are both gone
29:03She's sitting on a fortune
29:05All that inheritance money and property her parents left her
29:08If you marry her
29:09All of that becomes yours
29:12Jane's just got her little salary
29:14And she's too headstrong
29:16And he does apply
29:17If you go with Wendy
29:20You'd be marrying into money
29:23Easy life
29:29If Jane insists on the divorce
29:30I guess that's what I'll have to do
29:33A cold, bitter smile crossed my face
29:36My heart went completely numb
29:38I didn't even feel anything anymore
29:42I turned on my phone and hit record
29:44I stood outside that door and captured every word
29:48I had my lawyer contact David with the terms
29:51Two houses, one each
29:53Full custody of Ethan goes to me
29:55All shared assets go to me
29:59He sent me message after message
30:01Begging me to reconsider
30:02I didn't reply to a single one
30:04When he saw my mind was made up
30:06He agreed to the divorce
30:08One month later
30:09We signed the papers
30:11The day after the divorce was finalized
30:14Wendy came to see me
30:19Wendy came to see me
30:20She looked just like me
30:22A whole month had passed
30:23And we'd both lost weight
30:25Noticeably thinner
30:26This mess had wrecked both of us
30:29We sat across from each other
30:30She was still careful around me
30:32Cautious
30:33Testing the waters
30:35David told me you two are divorced
30:37Yeah
30:38It's done
30:39I got full custody
30:43I'm sorry
30:44For the pain I caused
30:47It's not your fault
30:48It's David's
30:49We're not the ones who did anything wrong
30:52I don't know if you're planning to stay with David
30:54Before you make that decision
30:56I want you to hear something
30:58Jane won't come back
31:00Let her go
31:00It's for the best
31:02Wendy has a much better temper than she does
31:05And Wendy's parents are both gone
31:06She has a large fortune
31:08All the inheritance and property left to her by her parents
31:11If you marry her
31:12All this will be yours
31:17Jane won't come back
31:18Let her go
31:19It's for the best
31:21Wendy has a much better temper than she does
31:23And Wendy's parents are both gone
31:25She has a large fortune
31:26All the inheritance and property left to her by her parents
31:29If you marry her, all this will be yours
31:32Then Richard
31:33Jan has amiga ciliary and she's tiny
31:36She's too stubborn
31:37If you were with Wendy and Navig she'd yak him
31:40Be an easy Asian
31:41With your Jan insist on getting a divorce
31:43I think I have to do the same
31:46The recording ended
31:47I put my phone away
31:48Wendy sat there, deeply hurt
31:51She let out a bitter, self-mocking laugh
31:55It turns out I've always been his second choice
31:59Each of them is trash
32:06Each of them is trash
32:08We are all victims
32:11I have climbed out of the mide
32:13And don't want to see you get trapped again
32:16Take good care of yourself
32:18We both deserve better
32:22Thank you
32:23Really, thank you
32:26I smiled
32:27You deserve someone better than him
32:31David doesn't deserve you
32:32And he surely doesn't deserve me either
32:37Let's start over
32:38I'm Wendy Clark
32:39I only hesitated for a second
32:41Before I reached out and took it
32:43Jane Mitchell
32:46In each other's eyes I could see it
32:48We both saw a woman who was strong
32:50And smart
32:51And dumb
32:52In this whole ugly mess
32:54We didn't tear each other apart
32:56Fighting over a worthless man
32:59We both chose to throw away the trash
33:05I heard David went crawling back to Wendy like a dog
33:08Begging her to take him back
33:10He begged for two months
33:12Wendy didn't waver
33:13If anything
33:14She hated him more
33:17David didn't just come up empty-handed
33:19His career took a hit too
33:21He'd always played the role of the perfect husband at work
33:24The good man
33:26The loyal guy
33:27When that image shattered
33:29His ego couldn't handle the stares and the whispers from his co-workers
33:33He quit before long
33:34After that
33:36He found a new job
33:37His salary was half of what it used to be
33:40Once Wendy shut him down for good
33:42He came crawling back to me
33:45Every time
33:45He used Ethan as an excuse to see me
33:48But Ethan wanted nothing to do with him
33:51Once our son found out about the affair and the bastard
33:53He was done with his father
33:55He barely agreed to see him
33:58Linda and Richard came to find me too
34:00Tears streaming
34:02Noses running
34:03Begging me to come back
34:09Since I'd left
34:10Nobody was there to cook for them
34:12Or clean up after them
34:13When they got sick
34:15Nobody took them to the hospital
34:17They were too cheap to hire help
34:19They finally realized what they'd lost
34:21Linda sobbed like her heart was being ripped out
34:24We've been family all these years
34:26We have a bond
34:28We were wrong
34:29I know that
34:31In my heart you've always been the best daughter-in-law
34:34I promise
34:35Jane, can't we be a family again?
34:38I looked at her
34:39Cold as ice
34:40And ripped off every mask she'd ever worn
34:43You just want me to come back and be your free maid
34:46You don't deserve a happy ending
34:48None of you do
34:49Please
34:50After that
34:51She and David kept hounding me
34:54When they weren't bothering me
34:55They were bothering Wendy
34:57Until they found out that Wendy and I had become close friends
35:01That Ethan and Sophie
35:02Half siblings from the same father
35:05Were getting along just fine
35:08That is when David finally realized
35:10We were a team now
35:12For the rest of his life
35:13He'd end up with nothing
35:15Neither of us would ever take him back
35:17And Wendy and I both moved on
35:19We started new lives
35:21We both found men
35:23Who actually made us happy
35:25And she was home
35:28They started new lives
35:29That is a great day
35:29Like
35:29When
35:29All
35:29For
