KurzfilmeTranskript
00:01I hadn't seen my husband in a whole year because of his work transfer.
00:05Then I ran into his co-worker at the mall. She smiled and greeted me.
00:10Congrats! 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. So 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. I 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. A pretty woman stood at the door, holding a one-month-old baby girl, greeting her.
00:52You must be one of David's co-works. So many beautiful women at his company.
00:56Come on in and have a seat.
00:58My stomach turned. I looked at the baby in the arms. Bare skin.
01:04Something about the baby's eyes and brows reminded me of David.
01:07I kept my face bling.
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. At our wedding seven years ago.
01:21Jane, will you marry me?
01:23Yes, I do.
01:27But I remember the care of the older relatives. With 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. He'll be back soon.
01:42Another blow to my chest. Like a hole punched through me. I couldn't breathe.
01:47She is dead.
01:49David went to pick up my in-laws. He'll be back soon.
01:52Another blow to my chest. Like a hole punched through me. I couldn't breathe.
01:56She is dead.
01:59We signed up for a senior citizens tour group.
02:03We are traveling for two weeks. That's awesome.
02:07I was worried they couldn't afford it on their savings.
02:10So I wired my mother-in-law, Linda, $3,000 for the trip.
02:15They'd been in poor health for years. Always on medication. And had never traveled.
02:21They said they wanted to get out and relax. I was happy for them.
02:25All these years, I treated them like my own parents.
02:28You 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. Please follow me.
02:41The moment I got close, a middle-aged man said to Wendy.
02:45David's a lucky man. Beautiful wife and now a beautiful daughter.
02:50Wendy, you really made the right call.
02:52When you quit your job to be a stay-at-home wife, I was a little worried for you.
02:55Six years later, you and David are still this happy.
02:57And now you have a baby. I'm really happy for you too.
03:01My hands curled into fists. My nails dug into my palms.
03:05I'd only been married to David for seven years.
03:08And he'd been cheating on me with Wendy for over six.
03:11The most pathetic part was that in all seven years, I never had a clue.
03:16Even this morning, he'd sent me a good morning kiss like he always did.
03:20With 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, and 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, my monthly salary will increase by $2,000.
03:53I want to earn more money to save for our son, Ethan.
03:57After thinking it over, I 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. Top salesman every year.
04:07His base pay alone is $8,000 now.
04:09And his commissions are through the roof.
04:12He makes 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.
04:28Time really flies.
04:29I went to your wedding six years ago, and now you already have a baby.
04:33They even had a wedding.
04:35When I married David, we had a small ceremony back in his hometown.
04:38He didn't invite any coworkers.
04:40I stood in the crowd and listened.
04:42Wendy, you've got David wrapped around your finger.
04:45Teach me.
04:46How do you get a man to treat you that good?
04:48David's just a good man.
04:50I'm lucky to have him.
04:51Couples need to understand each other.
04:53And if you're worried about him straying, keep the money in your hands.
05:03David gives me his whole paycheck.
05:05He only keeps $500 a month for cigarettes.
05:08Every year, his bonus goes to buying me a diamond bracelet.
05:13A man's money is where his heart is.
05:16His bonus went to buying Wendy diamond bracelets.
05:19Then, what had he been buying me?
05:21The emotions hit me like a tidal wave, rising up to my throat.
05:25They were all chatting away, and not a single one of them noticed me sitting there shocked.
05:30Wendy's phone rang.
05:32She smiled.
05:33David's calling me.
05:34She handed the baby to me without thinking.
05:37Hold her for a sec.
05:39I hesitated.
05:40The baby was light as cotton, lying 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, I pushed it all back down.
05:59Wendy was right next to me.
06:01David's voice came through the phone, loud and clear.
06:04Babe, you just got through your recovery.
06:07Don't wear yourself out.
06:08I picked up mom and dad.
06:10Traffic's a little bad, but don't worry, okay?
06:14Wendy was sweet about it.
06:16I'm fine.
06:17Drive safe.
06:18Take your time.
06:20The second she hung up, the 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 and 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, David never would.
06:50I used to think David was devoted to me.
06:52He called once a day.
06:54Sent a text.
06:55I never once suspected he had someone else.
06:57Work.
06:58Home.
06:59Our son.
07:00Every minute of my day was full.
07:02He was always busy too.
07:04Every 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.
07:19Seven years ago, when I first found out I was carrying twins.
07:23My mother went to a jeweler and 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.
07:32We only saved our son.
07:34My body was damaged too.
07:36I could never have another baby.
07:38The pendants.
07:39One with a cross.
07:41My 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, I 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.
08:37Just a lot of travel.
08:38David only stopped traveling this past year.
08:40Before that, he was always on the road.
08:42Sometimes 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, bouncing between different cities all the time.
08:59I handled everything at home without bothering him.
09:02Even when his parents got sick.
09:03Went to the hospital.
09:05Needed someone by their bedside.
09:07I 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 and 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 and 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.
09:54I nodded.
09:55She went off to greet them.
09:57I 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.
10:25Now 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. Didn't you see it?
10:40No.
10:46Jane, I sent you a text. Didn't you see it?
10:49No.
10:50Are you at the store?
10:51It's kind of loud on your end. Check the text I sent you.
10:53I can't hear you. Just text me back.
11:00Jane, one of the relatives back home just had a baby.
11:03I need to send a gift.
11:04I'm short of cash.
11:05Can you send me $3,000?
11:06You 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.
11:15She sent another message pushing me.
11:19Are you gonna 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.
11:35If you won't send it, I'll figure it out myself.
11:41I always thought you were a reasonable woman.
11:44Fine.
11:45If 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.
11:57On the phone.
11:58I could clearly hear David's voice through the speaker.
12:01Babe.
12:01Mom 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.
12:11Your mother had it customated 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.
12:26Before he left, Linda told him to take off his pendant so he wouldn't lose it.
12:31Ethan took it off and handed it to her for safekeeping.
12:34Tell mom thank you for me.
12:35She's so thoughtful.
12:37Don'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, Wendy reached for the baby, but 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 nobody 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.
13:34David stared up at me like he'd been struck by lightning.
13:37My 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.
13:53My 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.
14:06Instead, I told her.
14:07I'm Jane Mitchell.
14:08His wife of seven years, we 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, guilty and exposed.
14:42I always thought David got remarried!
14:44Turns out he never even got divorced!
14:46So who's actually his wife?
14:47He'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.
14:53Mom.
14:54Dad.
14:55Tell me.
14:56Which one of us is your daughter-in-law?
14:58Wendy stared at them too.
15:00My in-laws kept their heads down.
15:03They 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.
15:16I'll explain everything.
15:18David 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!
15:30You need to clear this up in front of everyone!
15:32Whether I'm the other woman or she is or we're both victims!
15:37I recognized that ring.
15:39When David and I got married, I fell in love with that exact style.
15:44But it cost over five thousand dollars.
15:46Too expensive.
15:47So I picked a simple gold band for three hundred instead.
15:51David's eyes had turned red that day.
15:53I swear.
15:53I'll buy you the most expensive one here.
15:55Is wear a day.
15:57When I see afford it.
15:59I'll buy the one you want.
16:04I could afford it now.
16:08But the ring was on another woman's hand.
16:10David looked up at me.
16:12His eyes were a mess of guilt and shame all tangled together.
16:15I'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 and reached out to me.
16:30Every 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.
16:42He 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.
17:04You're my wife.
17:05I'm sorry.
17:06I shouldn't have cheated.
17:07The crowd exploded.
17:08Wendy broke down crying and started hitting him.
17:11Then what am I, David?
17:12How could you do this to me?
17:15She suddenly remembered something.
17:17Wait!
17:17We have a marriage lens!
17:18You married me!
17:19It was official!
17:22The license is fake.
17:24Wendy's legs gave out and 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!
17:31You came to my parents' funeral in mourning!
17:35Now we have a child together and you're telling me it's all fake?
17:40David, how could you do this to me?
17:44He treated you better than he treated me.
17:46He only gave me his base salary.
17:488,000 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 zelonite.
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, waiting.
18:06Seven years ago, I was pregnant with David's twins.
18:12My mother had a matching pair of Christing pendants, custom made.
18:15She had Sophie engraved on the back and had a pastor bless them.
18:18Oh, and your daughter's name, Sophie, that 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 to your daughter.
18:30My voice broke as I said it.
18:32Thinking about the baby I lost still cut me to the bone.
18:35I looked at my in-laws standing in the middle of the crowd.
18:39And my dear mother-in-law was about to take my son's pendant, the matching one, and give it to
18:46this illegitimate granddaughter.
18:47My heart froze inch by inch, years of giving everything to this family.
18:52And this was how they stabbed me in the back.
18:55It was like a hand around my throat, choking 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, by your bed, taking care of everything.
19:14Your underwear and socks, Mom.
19:16I hand washed them for you for seven years.
19:19Since the day I married into this family, you 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?
19:33Linda 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, fine.
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.
19:57Anyone who marries into that family is cursed.
20:00David walked up to me again, his 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.
20:12I 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.
20:27Then 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.
20:40I wasted your time.
20:41David said, full of guilt.
20:42You'll find someone better.
20:44Someone who isn't garbage like me.
20:46I laughed.
20:46So he knew he was garbage.
20:49Wendy 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.
21:00He 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.
21:24Please, 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.
21:57Please, give 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.
22:10As a mother.
22:11I felt it.
22:12I started taking the pendant off the baby's wrist.
22:15She was so scared I'd hurt the baby that she wanted to tell me to be gentle,
22:19but didn't dare.
22:21Relax.
22:22I won't hurt her.
22:24If I wanted to hurt her, I wouldn't have waited this long.
22:26I got the pendant off while 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, I asked.
22:51Since you two got together, including the wedding costs,
22:54how throtch 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, he gave me 5-8,000 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 gonna sue to 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, will 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.
23:47Wendy didn't hesitate.
23:48She took out her phone and made the transfer.
23:50In less than a minute.
23:52$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.
24:08Her past few years had been just as pathetic and laughable as mine.
24:12I walked over and helped her up.
24:13I placed the baby gently in her arms.
24:16She held the baby tight, terrified 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, I walked out.
24:32David didn't hesitate.
24:34He chased after me.
24:39We went back to the house we'd lived in for seven years.
24:43The 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.
24:58I promise.
24:59Just this once.
25:00Don't touch me!
25:01My voice was so loud it made my head and throat hurt.
25:04My 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.
25:44As 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.
25:57Then tell me.
25:59What do I have to do for you to forgive me?
26:02Anything.
26:02Whatever it takes.
26:04I'll do it.
26:04The 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.
26:41David 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.
26:49I took down the photo.
26:51And 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 yipped coming through the door.
27:04Trying to calm me down.
27:05When I finally stopped shaking.
27:07I started packing my things.
27:09I texted my lawyer.
27:11I 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.
27:22When 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.
27:40I'm setting you free.
27:42You and Wendy, you should be happy about that.
27:45No more sneaking around.
27:47No more being stuck between two women.
27:49You 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, mocking 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, you never would have hurt me.
28:14A handprint showed on his face.
28:16He stood frozen.
28:18I slammed the door and left.
28:26I drove to the other house.
28:28It was a place I'd bought after we got married.
28:31A few years ago, I took out a mortgage on this place.
28:35Last year, I'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, I realized I'd left my work laptop at the old house.
28:49When I went back to get it, I heard Linda's voice through the front door.
28:53She 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.
29:04She's sitting on a fortune.
29:06All that inheritance, money, and property her parents left her.
29:08If you marry her, all of that becomes yours.
29:12Jane's just got her little salary and she's too headstrong.
29:16And he does apply.
29:19If you go with Wendy, you'd be marrying into money.
29:23Easy life.
29:29If Jane insists on the divorce, I guess that's what I'll have to do.
29:33A cold, bitter smile crossed my face.
29:36My heart went completely numb.
29:39I didn't even feel anything anymore.
29:41I 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, begging 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, we 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 and we'd both lost weight.
30:25Noticeably thinner.
30:27This mess had wrecked both of us.
30:29We sat across from each other.
30:31She 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.
30:49It'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.
31:01It's for the best.
31:02Wendy has a much better temper than she does.
31:05And Wendy's parents are both gone.
31:07She has a large fortune.
31:08All the inheritance and property left to her by her parents.
31:11If you marry her.
31:31Then Richard.
31:32Jan has a migasillery.
31:35And she's tiny.
31:36And she's too stubborn.
31:37If you were with Wendy.
31:38And Navigshik Yakin.
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.
31:49Wendy sat there.
31:50Deeply 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.
32:09We are all victims.
32:11I have climbed out of the mide and don't want to see you get trapped again.
32:16Take good care of yourself.
32:18We both deserve better.
32:23Really.
32:26I smiled.
32:28You deserve someone better than him.
32:31David doesn't deserve you.
32:33And he surely doesn't deserve me either.
32:37Let's start over.
32:38I'm Wendy Clark.
32:39I only hesitated for a second before I reached out and took it.
32:44Jane Mitchell.
32:45In each other's eyes I could see it.
32:48We both saw a woman who was strong and smart and dumb.
32:52In this whole ugly mess, we didn't tear each other apart fighting 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, begging her to take him back.
33:10He begged for two months.
33:12Wendy didn't waver.
33:13If anything, she 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.
33:25The good man.
33:26The loyal guy.
33:28When that image shattered, his ego couldn't handle the stares and the whispers from his coworkers.
33:33He quit before long.
33:35After that, he found a new job.
33:38His salary was half of what it used to be.
33:40Once Wendy shut him down for good, he came crawling back to me.
33:45Every time.
33:46He used Ethan as an excuse to see me.
33:49But Ethan wanted nothing to do with him.
33:51Once our son found out about the affair and the bastard.
33:54He was done with his father.
33:56He barely agreed to see him.
33:58Linda and Richard came to find me too.
34:01Tears streaming.
34:02Noses running.
34:03Begging me to come back.
34:09Since I'd left, nobody was there to cook for them or clean up after them.
34:14When they got sick, nobody took them to the hospital.
34:17They were too cheap to hire help.
34:19They finally realized what they'd lost.
34:22Linda 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, cold as ice, and 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. None of you do.
34:50Please.
34:50After that, she and David kept hounding me.
34:54When they weren't bothering me, they were bothering Wendy.
34:57Until they found out that Wendy and I had become close friends.
35:01That Ethan and Sophie, half siblings from the same father, were getting along just fine.
35:08That is when David finally realized.
35:10We were a team now.
35:12For the rest of his life, he'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.
35:22We both found men who actually made us happy.
35:24ら worlds lost inёт for her.
35:28However, surprisingly, there was a big gap that did.
