00:00After a year of not seeing my husband due to our long-distance marriage,
00:03I stumble upon his sister-in-law's Instagram,
00:05My Dear Niece.
00:06In the photo, my husband Ethan holds a baby in one arm
00:09and wraps the other around a woman I do 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,
00:20holding a one-year-old girl as she greets guests.
00:23She smiles and says to me,
00:24You're Ethan's colleague, right?
00:26Come 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.
00:37He'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.
00:48She leads me into the banquet hall.
00:50As soon as I get closer, a middle-aged man says to Hannah with envy,
00:54I 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.
01:14I'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
01:25than six of those years.
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.
01:39He 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.
01:48I 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.
02:19Three 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.
03:12A 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.
03:22Every 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.
03:33What'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.
03:52The 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.
04:01Baby, 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.
04:09Take your time driving.
04:11Don't rush.
04:11As 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.
04:36I have never doubted him.
04:39I never thought he was sharing every detail of his life with another woman.
04:47I hold the baby and find an empty seat.
04:51By accident, I notice a custom cross necklace around her neck.
04:57Seven years ago, right after I found out I was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl,
05:04my mom had 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.
05:20The 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.
05:40A 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.
05:53This necklace was also custom made by Ethan.
05:56You have no idea how much he loves his daughter.
05:59He 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.
06:07Ethan 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.
06:22Sometimes we wouldn't see each other for a whole month.
06:25Good thing we got through it.
06:26Yeah.
06:28Hannah makes no move to take the baby back.
06:31From 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.
06:50Maybe it's because I have a child, too.
06:53I'm used to it.
06:54And Shu leaned.
06:55Then I'll trouble you to hold her longer.
06:57I 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.
07:09My son never had a birthday party.
07:12Now he can throw a joyful birthday party.
07:15Only I still remember the daughter who never got to be born.
07:20Suddenly.
07:21Claire, I sent you a text.
07:23Did you see it?
07:24No.
07:25Are you at the grocery store?
07:26It's so loud on your end.
07:28Check the text I sent you.
07:30I can barely hear you.
07:32Just text me back.
07:34I open my phone and see to see the message she sent 20 minutes ago.
07:38Claire, one of Ethan's cousins just had a baby.
07:42I need to send a gift.
07:44Can you trance me $500?
07:46You know how it is.
07:48It's family.
07:49My fingers tighten around the phone,
07:51turning pale as anger surges through me.
07:55I do not reply.
07:57Another message comes in.
07:58Did you transfer it, Claire?
08:00It's urgent.
08:00I still do not respond.
08:03Soon, another message pops up.
08:07She starts blaming me.
08:10I always thought you were sensible.
08:11I didn't expect you to be this kind of person.
08:15Fine.
08:16Forget it.
08:16I'll figure it out myself.
08:18When Hannah comes back, she is on the phone.
08:21I clearly hear Ethan's voice through the receiver.
08:25Baby.
08:25My mom got another piece of jewelry for our little girl.
08:29You don't need to buy more.
08:31Our baby already has plenty.
08:34Ethan adds,
08:35This one is different.
08:36It was blessed by a priest at church.
08:39Two days ago, my son left for summer camp.
08:43Before he left, my mother-in-law told him to take off his necklace so he would not lose it.
08:49After he took it off, he casually handed it to her for safekeeping.
08:54I never thought she would use my son's necklace as a gift for Ethan's illegitimate daughter.
09:00Hannah smiles sweetly.
09:01Then thank mom for me.
09:03She's so thoughtful.
09:04My mother-in-law's voice comes through the phone.
09:07What's there to thank?
09:09This is what I should do as a grandmother.
09:11You gave me such a precious granddaughter.
09:14I should be thanking you.
09:16We'll be there soon.
09:18As soon as the call ends, Hannah reaches out to take the baby.
09:22But then she notices new guests arriving not far away.
09:25She turns to greet them again.
09:28I keep holding their illegitimate daughter.
09:32Your birthday party will be unforgettable for everyone.
09:36Finally, I hear Ethan's family arriving late, their voices carrying through the crowd.
09:41Holding his illegitimate daughter, I walk up to the stage.
09:44Just as he asks Hannah,
09:46Baby, where's our girl?
09:49Dear, your bastard child is in my arms.
09:53All eyes turn to me on the stage.
09:56Then chaos erupts.
09:59Hannah runs to me, holding back her emotions, and speaks gently.
10:03I don't even know how to address you.
10:05I thought you were Ethan's colleague.
10:08Ma'am, do you have some conflict with Ethan?
10:11First, I do not give the baby back.
10:14Instead, I tell her,
10:17I am his wife of seven years.
10:20We have a six-year-old son.
10:22Tell me, do we have a conflict?
10:26Hannah's face turns pale.
10:27She staggers back a step.
10:29Shock fills her eyes, and tears stream down her face.
10:33How is that possible?
10:35Darling, tell me, how many years have we been married?
10:39All eyes burn toward him.
10:41Voices rise from the crowd.
10:43I always thought Ethan was on his second marriage.
10:46Turns out, he never divorced.
10:48So who is his real wife?
10:49Why are there suddenly two wives?
10:52No wonder the woman on stage was so quiet earlier.
10:54I knew something was off.
10:56I look at my in-laws, just as humiliated, and say on purpose,
11:00Dad, Mom, tell them, who is your daughter-in-law?
11:04My in-laws lower their heads and say nothing.
11:07Ethan looks like a knife is pressed to his throat.
11:09As he slowly walks onto the stage.
11:13Hannah grabs his arm, crying.
11:16Say something!
11:18What is going on?
11:22Which one of us is the other woman?
11:25Don't get worked up.
11:26I'll explain everything to you slowly.
11:30Hannah refuses to back down.
11:33No.
11:35I want you to say it now.
11:37She showed up at our baby's birthday party and made a scene.
11:40This has to be made clear in front of everyone.
11:43Whether I'm the other woman, or she is, we were both deceived.
11:47We're both victims.
11:49I recognize that ring.
11:51When I married Ethan, I fell in love with that exact design at first sight.
11:56But it was too expensive, so I chose a simpler one.
12:00Back then, Ethan's eyes turned red with guilt.
12:03As he promised me, that one day, when he could afford it, he would buy me that ring.
12:09Now he can afford it, but the ring is on another woman's hand.
12:13Ethan looks at me.
12:14His eyes are filled with tangled emotions.
12:17Shame weighing on him.
12:19His lips move with difficulty.
12:22I'm sorry.
12:22Please stop making a scene.
12:24Can we talk?
12:25At home?
12:26Dear, what did you say?
12:29Go home?
12:30Which home?
12:33Do you mean the home we share, or the one you share with Hannah?
12:37He looks even more ashamed, unable to face me.
12:40He steps forward and reaches for my microphone.
12:43I'm begging you.
12:45Stop this.
12:46I take a step back and pull my arm away.
12:49I do not let him take the microphone.
12:52Answer me.
12:53Who is your wife?
12:56What are you doing here today?
12:58Hannah rushes forward, grabbing his arm, her voice shaking.
13:02Say it!
13:04Ethan is forced into a corner.
13:06He has no choice but to answer.
13:10You are my wife.
13:12I'm sorry.
13:13I shouldn't have cheated.
13:15The crowd explodes.
13:20Hannah breaks down, crying as she hits him over and over.
13:24Then what am I?
13:26How could you do this to me, Ethan?
13:32She suddenly remembers something and clutches his arm tightly.
13:36No.
13:36No, that's not right.
13:38We have a marriage certificate.
13:40I'm your legal wife.
13:42The certificate is fake.
13:47Hannah's legs give out.
13:49She collapses to the floor, her sobs tearing through the room.
13:53Fake!
13:54She cries out, her voice breaking.
13:58You gave me a ring.
14:01You gave me a wedding.
14:04You stood in a church and made vows in front of everyone.
14:10Now we even have a chat.
14:12Ethan, how could you do this to me?
14:17He treats you better than he treats me.
14:19He buys you real Tiffany every year.
14:22The ones he gives me are fake.
14:26He told me he was transferred to Boston for work.
14:31That was a lie, too.
14:33He's been living with you openly as your husband.
14:38I lift the necklace from her daughter's neck.
14:41Do you know where this necklace came from?
14:44Seven years ago, I was pregnant with twins for Ethan.
14:50My mom specially had a pair of necklaces made.
14:54She even had the names engraved on the back and took them to church for a priest blessing.
15:00And the name your daughter has now was the name I chose for my unborn daughter.
15:06I never thought he would give my daughter's things to your daughter.
15:11I turned to my in-laws, standing in the middle of the crowd.
15:15My dear mother-in-law even planned to give the necklace my son is wearing now to this illegitimate child.
15:23Seven years of marriage.
15:25How have I treated you?
15:29You always said we're family.
15:34Even your night crew update and wadding mom, I soshed him by hand for seven years.
15:39Since I married Ethan, you have not cooked a single meal.
15:44Two days ago, you said you were going on a trip.
15:48I even gave you a thousand dollars.
15:50I treated you like my own parents.
15:53And you?
15:55How did you treat me?
15:56How did you treat your only grandson?
15:59My mother-in-law is called out in front of everyone.
16:04She is so ashamed, she cannot even lift her head.
16:07The whispers from the crowd strips away every last bit of their dignity.
16:13Unbelievable.
16:15Ethan cheats?
16:16And his parents were in on it the whole time?
16:18Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?
16:21That poor woman gave seven years to this family.
16:26What a waste.
16:28Ethan walks toward me again.
16:29He pulls me into a tight embrace.
16:32Claire, I'm sorry.
16:34I'm a piece of shit.
16:35His voice breaks.
16:37Thick with tears.
16:38I'll never do it again.
16:41Forgive me.
16:42Just this once.
16:44Please.
16:45Held in his arms.
16:47I start crying.
16:48Hannah watches him hold me and apologize.
16:51She cries.
16:52Then lets out a bitter laugh, too.
16:57She gets up from the floor.
17:00Grabs Ethan's arm.
17:01Pulls us apart.
17:03What about me?
17:04How are you going to answer to me?
17:06You bastard!
17:09You bastard!
17:09She almost falls again.
17:10Her whole body trembles.
17:12She sways.
17:13Her makeup ruined by tears.
17:15I'm sorry.
17:16I lied to you and I wasted your time.
17:19You'll meet someone better.
17:20Not someone like me.
17:25Hannah bursts into hysterical laughter.
17:29Trash!
17:30Ethan does not spare her another glance.
17:33Honey, can we go home?
17:37What about her?
17:39What are you going to do?
17:40I know you've always wanted a daughter.
17:42If you're willing to raise her, we can keep her with us.
17:46Hannah stumbles toward me and drops to her knees.
17:52Claire.
17:54Claire.
17:55Claire, I'm begging you.
17:57Give me my child.
18:00I won't fight you for Ethan.
18:02I'll give him back to you.
18:05She cries so hard she can barely breathe.
18:11My child can't go with you.
18:13I didn't mean to be the other woman.
18:15I truly didn't know he had a family.
18:18Please give my baby back to me.
18:23I reach out and take off the necklace from the baby's neck.
18:27Don't worry.
18:28I won't hurt her.
18:30If I wanted to, I wouldn't have waited until now.
18:34As I speak, I remove the necklace.
18:37The baby whimmers.
18:38Probably hungry.
18:39Hannah pleads.
18:41She's hungry.
18:42Please, let me feed her.
18:44Can I have her back?
18:45I need you to answer a few questions.
18:47Don't worry.
18:48I won't take your child.
18:49I have my own.
18:51She nods.
18:52It seems she will answer anything she knows.
18:55Since you've been together, how much money has Ethan give you?
18:59The wedding cost about $50,000.
19:03After we got married, he gave me $10,000 a month.
19:05And every year he buys me jewelry.
19:08In these six years, it's about $800,000.
19:13After I married him, I stopped working.
19:18I really didn't know he was already married.
19:21I really didn't know he was already married.
19:25I know you'll sue to get back every dollar he spent on me.
19:33So I won't lie to you.
19:36I calm down a little and ask her.
19:38If I ask you to return the money, will you?
19:41She nods without hesitation.
19:43Yes.
19:45I'll write you a check.
19:46Right now.
19:53Hannah takes out her checkbook without a second thought.
19:56She lowers her head, writes quickly.
19:59I've returned the money.
20:00I'm giving the man back to you, too.
20:04I only want my child.
20:06Can you give her back to me?
20:15This is your child.
20:17No one can take her from you.
20:22I'll take the money.
20:24I don't want the man.
20:25As soon as I finish speaking, I walk out without looking back.
20:29Ethan does not hesitate.
20:31He immediately runs after me.
20:37We return to the home we have lived in for seven years.
20:40Ethan comes closer, reaching out to hold me, apologizing sincerely.
20:45There won't be a next time.
20:47Just this once.
20:49I shove his arm away.
20:51Don't touch me!
20:52Ethan does not dare to come for closer.
20:54He keeps begging for forgiveness.
20:56Honey, I'm sorry.
20:59I really lost my head for a moment.
21:03I promise I'll cut her off.
21:06From now on, our family will live a good life together.
21:09Okay?
21:10My in-laws come back.
21:11My mother-in-law speaks with a trace of guilt, her tone heavy.
21:15Claire, I know this has hurt you deeply.
21:19But there's nothing I can do.
21:21That child out there is still Ethan's.
21:24I hope you don't dwell on this.
21:27Just live your life as usual.
21:30My father-in-law adds,
21:32This is already blown up today.
21:35Let's not bring it up again.
21:37Just live your life properly.
21:43This marriage is over.
21:47Ethan, you disgust me.
21:51My eyes re-reddens despite myself.
21:54He looks at me helplessly.
21:57Then tell me.
21:59What will it take for you to forgive me?
22:01As long as I can do it,
22:03I'll do anything for you.
22:06Hatred surges up from deep inside me.
22:09The words spill out.
22:11Then, go die.
22:14Just go die!
22:18I go back to the bedroom and lock the door.
22:22Still in my shoes, I step onto the bed.
22:27I take the photo down
22:29and stab Ethan's face over and over with scissors.
22:35The deeper I-
22:36It tears my heart apart.
22:39Outside the door,
22:41Ethan keeps trying to coax me.
