Short filmTranscript
00:00Octopolis! My goodness!
00:02A multiple gestity like this carries extremely high risks.
00:05The pregnancy is exceptionally fragile during the first trimester.
00:09You must be on strict bed rest.
00:11Even the smallest misstep could lead to a miscarriage.
00:13Harrison and I had been married for seven years.
00:16I'd stood by him as he built his business from the ground up,
00:19and he'd always said his greatest wish was to have a house full of kids with me.
00:23Finally, on our seventh wedding anniversary,
00:25this incredible gift had fallen into our laps.
00:28I carefully tucked the ultrasound report into a custom jewelry box,
00:32planning to open it and reveal the surprise to him at midnight that night.
00:35I waited from afternoon until late into the night.
00:38The clock struck 12, and finally, the front door lock clicked open.
00:42I stood up with a smile, ready to greet him, only to freeze dead in my tracks.
00:47Harrison strode in.
00:49Glued to his side was a young girl with tear-filled eyes, Vivian.
00:54Stella, I'm sorry.
00:56Love doesn't care about who came first.
00:59Harrison and I are truly, deeply in love.
01:03Please, I'm begging you.
01:05Let us be together.
01:07The surprise I'd spent all afternoon preparing felt like a red-hot branding iron press to my chest.
01:12He didn't even look at me, not a single flicker of guilt for forgetting our anniversary.
01:17All he did was rush forward, his face etched with concern, and scoop Vivian up into his arms.
01:22This man, who'd always had a severe germophobia, fumbled frantically to wipe the tears from her cheeks.
01:28Vivian's been with me this whole time with no title, no security.
01:32I can't let her down.
01:33Don't worry, she's not after anything.
01:36It's just the thing I'd ever bring to eat a second to anything.
01:39It's just one more mouth to feed in this house, that's all.
01:42Holding Vivian tight, he walked straight into the master bedroom we'd shared for seven years.
01:46He'd forgotten.
01:48Today was our seventh wedding anniversary.
01:50He'd forgotten that seven years ago, there was another girl who'd followed a broke, penniless version of him,
01:56with no title and nothing to her name.
01:58He'd never know that I'd planned to give him the biggest surprise the world had ever seen that night.
02:03The cake on the dining table had melted and warped, the carefully cooked dinner had gone stone cold.
02:08I pulled out my phone, about to take a photo of the mess, hoping to edit it into something warm
02:13-looking,
02:14when a notification from Vivian's social media popped up.
02:17From today on, I finally have a place by his side attached was a photo of her and a man,
02:22fingers intertwined in a car.
02:24I recognized it instantly, it was Harrison's car, throbbing pain flared in my lower stomach.
02:30I remembered the doctor's warning, took a deep breath to steady my emotions.
02:33I was curious to see just how far this little performance would go.
02:42Vivian's young, she posted that on a whim, don't let it bother you.
02:47I messed up today. I ordered you the newest jewelry line, a whole set of designer bags.
02:53They'll be here tomorrow. Just stop being mad at me, okay?
02:58If Stella doesn't want me here, then I'll go!
03:01I can't be the reason you and Harrison fight!
03:08How are you going to survive without me?
03:11I don't want to leave, but Stella won't let me stay, Harrison. Just let me go.
03:16I'll always wish you and Stella happiness, even if you never see me again.
03:19If I want you here, no one can kick you out.
03:22Shh, baby, you're pregnant. You can't cry like this. It's bad for the baby.
03:27Vivian, our baby doesn't want to see you upset over someone else, right?
03:33I watched him lead Vivian back into the master bedroom, cooing and comforting her the whole way.
03:38My stomach turned violently, and I ran to the bathroom, throwing up until there was nothing left.
03:44It wasn't my old stomach bug acting up.
03:47It was the morning sickness from the pregnancy, and pure, physical revulsion at the two people in the next room.
03:52When I came out, I stared at the mess on the table.
03:55I stood up, grabbed the cake, the cold food, and the jewelry box with my surprise still inside, and dumped
04:01it all straight into the trash can.
04:03It hit me, all at once, how ridiculous it all was.
04:07On our seventh wedding anniversary, my husband had brought his mistress into our home, given her a claim to our
04:12life in our own house, and served me the most humiliating night of my life on a silver platter.
04:17I didn't sleep a wink all night. I'd always been terrible at sleeping anywhere but my own bed.
04:23When we were young, Harrison had a bed custom made, an exact replica of the one I'd had at my
04:27parents' house, just so I could sleep soundly.
04:30But now, that bed held him and another woman.
04:33I lay on the couch in the guest bedroom, staring at the ceiling until the sun came up, the throbbing
04:38in my stomach getting worse with every passing hour.
04:40The doctor had told me, over and over, that I needed complete rest.
04:44But a night of overwhelming emotion, plus not a single bite of food or drop of water, had left me
04:49barely strong enough to stand.
04:51The morning sickness hit again, hard, and I dragged myself to the kitchen to make a bowl of soup.
04:56I had to give the babies inside me at least a little nutrition.
05:00As the soup cooked, another wave of nausea hit me.
05:03I spun around and ran straight to the bathroom.
05:05When I came back out, what I saw at the dining table turned the blood in my veins to ice.
05:10Vivian was sitting in my seat.
05:12Harrison stood beside her, holding a napkin.
05:15Is it that good, you little greedy thing?
05:17If you like it, I'll have Stella make you another bowl.
05:23Really, Harrison?
05:25I'm scared Stella won't want to.
05:27After all, this was for herself.
05:29Harrison followed her gaze to me, and finally noticed the cold sweat on my face,
05:33the way my hand was clamped tight over my stomach.
05:37What's wrong, Stella?
05:38You look like you've seen a ghost.
05:40I refused to show an ounce of weakness in front of him and Vivian.
05:43I especially refused to let him know about the babies.
05:46It's none of your damn business!
05:49Vivian was on her feet in an instant.
05:51Stella, if you're angry, take it out on me!
05:53Don't yell at Harrison!
05:55I shouldn't have eaten your soup!
05:56I'm so sorry!
05:59She picked up the half-empty bowl of soup,
06:01holding it out to me like she was handing it over.
06:14The burn made me stumble backward,
06:16my lower back slamming hard into the sharp...
06:19Harrison ran over.
06:21It was to shove me, hard, with all his strength.
06:24Blood poured down my thighs, soaking through my nightgown.
06:27Worse was the pain in my stomach,
06:29the tearing agony getting worse and worse.
06:31Vivian was clutching her stomach.
06:34It hurts so bad!
06:36Blood trickled down my temple.
06:38Stella, if you hated me, you could have hit me,
06:42yelled at me!
06:43Why would you hurt my baby?
06:45He's innocent!
06:47But Harrison didn't even glance at me.
06:49He was holding Vivian tight on the floor.
06:52Stella, have I spoiled you too much?
06:54How could you be this cruel?
07:00You'd hurt an unborn baby?
07:02I leaned weakly against the wall,
07:04looked at him.
07:06Harrison, you two cheating, lying pieces of shit
07:10were made for each other.
07:12One's a liar, the other's a blind fool!
07:23Shut up!
07:24The pain in my stomach hit its peak,
07:26holding back the tears that threatened to fall.
07:28I couldn't reconcile the man in front of me,
07:31the one who wanted me dead,
07:32with the gentle, loving man I'd fallen for all those years ago.
07:36Now you're crying?
07:37Where was this remorse when you tried to hurt her?
07:40Stella, you've really disappointed me.
07:43Lying there in a pool of my own blood,
07:45and rushed out of the house with Vivian in his arms,
07:48hurrying into the hospital.
07:49The huge, empty mansion was left with only me.
07:57I could feel it, clear as day.
08:00The eight tiny lives inside me were slipping away,
08:02one by one.
08:04Before my consciousness faded completely,
08:06I used the last of my strength to dial 911.
08:09When I woke again,
08:10it was already late afternoon the next day,
08:12the sharp, acrid smell of antiseptic burned my nostrils.
08:16I opened my eyes to a blindingly white hospital room,
08:19and the first thing I saw was the doctor's face.
08:23Stella, you were in hemorrhagic shock when you were brought in.
08:26We did everything we could to save the pregnancy,
08:29but we couldn't keep the babies.
08:31All eight fetuses have ceased development.
08:35We just completed a dilation and corruption procedure for you.
08:38A multiple gestation like this was already high risk,
08:40and the severe physical trauma and emotional distress you endured
08:43caused critical damage to your endermenium.
08:45We can't guarantee you'll be able to carry another pregnancy to term in the future.
08:49You need to prepare yourself for that possibility.
08:54I lay in the hospital bed,
08:56my fingertips brushing over my still aching lower stomach.
08:59There had once been eight tiny heartbeats here,
09:01the anniversary surprise I'd planned for Harrison.
09:04Now, that gift had been crushed by his own hands.
09:07I spent three days recovering in the hospital,
09:09and checked myself out the moment I could stand on my own.
09:12As I walked out of the hospital doors,
09:14I spotted Harrison at the entrance of the obstetrics ward.
09:18He was carefully guiding Vivian toward a patient room,
09:20her body curled into his chest.
09:23His gaze swept over me,
09:25lingering for barely half a second,
09:27as if he'd seen a total stranger.
09:29I tugged at the corner of my mouth and turned to leave,
09:32without a single pause.
09:33I'd lay this gift right in front of him, in person.
09:37When I got back to the mansion,
09:38the bloodstains in the living room had been cleaned up by the housekeepers.
09:41This house, the home we'd shared for seven years,
09:44was now filled floor to ceiling with Vivian's things.
09:47My clothes had been tossed haphazardly into the back corner of the closet.
09:51I only opened the small suitcase I'd carried when I ran away with him all those years ago,
09:56packing only the things that had belonged to me from the start.
09:58It was laughable, really.
10:01Seven years of marriage.
10:02And it all fit in this one case.
10:04Once I was done, I pulled a specimen container out of my bag.
10:08Inside, suspended in preservative fluid, were the eight unformed fetuses.
10:13Alongside it were the octuplet ultrasound report and the surgical records.
10:17Harrison, is the anniversary gift you destroyed with your own two hands.
10:21I zipped up the suitcase and walked out of the home I'd lived in for seven years.
10:25I left the light on in the foyer, just like I had every night for seven years,
10:29waiting for him to come home.
10:30But this time, I'd never be coming back.
10:33I boarded a flight to country F.
10:35My home, and the place where I'd start over.
10:38Ten years of love, seven years of marriage, eight unborn babies.
10:42It all ended here.
10:44Wiped clean.
10:48Every single day, Vivian curled up in his arms, her face streaked with tears,
10:52sobbing about the pain of losing her baby that he gritted his teeth and promised her,
10:56over and over, that he'd make Stella pay for what she'd done.
10:59But that nameless, gnawing unease in his chest only grew heavier, day by day.
11:03He couldn't stop replaying that day.
11:05Stella collapsed on the floor, blood streaming down her temple, the huge, bright pool of red beneath her.
11:11He'd been so fixated on Vivian's baby that he hadn't even glanced at her,
11:14just grabbed Vivian and raced to the hospital.
11:17And that emergency call, the one from the number he'd set himself,
11:21his one and only emergency contact.
11:23He'd been annoyed and flustered at the time, hung up straight away, and never called back.
11:28He'd tried calling me a handful of times over those three days,
11:31but it always went straight to voicemail.
11:33He'd just assumed I was hiding away, too ashamed to face him after my vicious act had been exposed.
11:38But in the dead of night, he couldn't get the image of her clutching her stomach so tightly out of
11:43his head.
11:43Harrison, what are you thinking about?
11:46Are you still thinking about Stella?
11:49I know you still care about her.
11:51Maybe, maybe I should just go.
11:53I don't want to put you in this position.
11:55Don't be ridiculous.
11:57You've been through so much for me.
11:58I'd never let you leave.
12:00Just focus on getting better, and don't worry about anything else.
12:04Harrison stared at her sleeping face, the unease in his chest spiraling out of control.
12:09He slipped quietly out of the patient room, needing to try calling Stella one more time.
12:15This temper tarum has gone on long enough.
12:18He told himself I was just being stubborn, but even in our worst fights, I'd never once ignored his calls.
12:23Rich guys are so easy to fool.
12:25This worked out perfectly.
12:27I pinned everything that happened on that frungy old wife, Stella.
12:30And now, Harrison feels so guilty, he can't say no to me.
12:34I've got this in the bag.
12:35I'm gonna be the Mrs. Hale for real.
12:37Harrison froze outside the door, his mind going completely blank.
12:40He'd been a total, utter fool, played like a fiddle by this woman.
12:45Mr. Hale, don't you worry.
12:48You and your wife will have another baby some.
12:51She's not my wife.
12:53I'm sorry.
12:55She was saying she'll never be able to get pregnant again after the miscarriage.
12:59The miscarriage was because the fetus wasn't developing normally.
13:03I actually advised her to terminate the pregnancy last week.
13:07She didn't tell you that?
13:09What?
13:11It was like a bomb went off in his head, wiping every thought clean.
13:15Every piece of the puzzle clicked into place all at once.
13:18Stella's deathly white face, her hand clamped tight over her stomach,
13:21a huge pool of blood on the floor,
13:23that unanswered emergency call, the number that would never pick up.
13:28Stella!
13:29Spinning on his heel and sprinting down the stairs,
13:31he raced to the parking garage, threw himself into his car,
13:34and slammed the gas pedal to the floor.
13:36He ran countless red lights on the drive,
13:38racing like a madman toward the mansion.
13:43Stella!
13:45Stella!
13:45Stella!
14:14Dated the day of their seventh wedding
14:15anniversary.
14:16Patient name, Stella, ultrasound finding, intrauterine pregnancy, eight live fetuses.
14:22His hands began to shake uncontrollably.
14:24He flipped through the pages, one by one, the incomplete abortion diagnosis, the dilation
14:30and curatage surgical records, the medical evaluation confirming severe, permanent damage
14:34to her uterus.
14:35Every single word was a knife, twisted deep into his heart.
14:39Stella, you finally answered.
14:41I'm so sorry.
14:42None of this is real, right?
14:43Harrison, this is the anniversary gift I had for you, the preserved remains of the eight
14:48babies you never got to meet, that you killed with your own hands.
14:51Harrison let out a guttural, animalistic scream.
14:54His knees gave out, and he collapsed to the floor, the papers scattering all around him.
14:59He clung to the specimen box like a lifeline, his forehead pressed to the cold nightstand,
15:03and wailed, loud and broken, tears and snot streamed down his face, unhinged and broken.
15:09He finally understood.
15:10On their seventh anniversary, she hadn't come empty handed.
15:14She'd prepared the biggest surprise in the world, eight babies that were his.
15:18He was the one who'd brought his mistress into their home, and shattered that gift with
15:21his own two hands.
15:23He was the one who'd pushed her to the ground, the woman carrying his eight children, for a
15:27lying con artist, and killed his own babies.
15:30He was the one who'd hung up on her desperate call for help, left her bleeding out on the
15:34floor, and nearly cost her her life.
15:36He was the one who'd pushed the girl he'd loved for ten years straight into hell, and
15:40burned every last bridge between them to ash.
15:42He called Stella again and again, frantically, endlessly.
15:46But the only thing that came through the speaker was the same, unchanging automated message,
15:50telling him the number he'd dialed could not be reached.
15:53He was finally panicking, finally terrified.
15:56He'd lost his girl.
15:58He'd lost his eight babies.
15:59He'd lost every last bit of good fortune he'd ever had in his life.
16:05Harrison sat on the master bedroom floor for an entire night, clutching the specimen box
16:09to his chest.
16:10He read and re-read those medical reports, whispering Stella's name over and over, until
16:15his voice went completely hoarse.
16:17Not a single sound able to come out.
16:19As soon as dawn broke, he headed back to the hospital, his eyes bloodshot that he didn't
16:23step into the patient room.
16:25Instead, he had his lawyers and the police waiting outside, and secured full evidence of Vivian
16:30and the doctor conspiring to falsify medical records, commit fraud, and file false accusations.
16:35He had both of them sent to prison that same day, using every connection and resource at his disposal to
16:41make them pay the steepest possible price for what they'd done.
16:44After it was all handled, he felt no relief whatsoever.
16:47The hollow void in his chest only grew wider, and regret washed over him like a tidal wave, drowning him
16:53day and night.
16:53He used every single one of his connections and resources, searching for Stella like a man possessed.
16:59He pulled security footage, flight records, hotel bookings, and called every single one of her friends, until he finally found
17:06out that the day she was discharged from the hospital, she'd booked a one-way flight to Country F.
17:10After she landed, there was no record of her ever leaving the country again.
17:15Country F was where her parents had settled for years, all those years ago, she'd cut ties with her parents
17:20and given up her chance to study abroad, just to stand by him and build his business from nothing.
17:24Now, with nowhere else to go, she'd finally gone home to her family.
17:29He'd booked a flight to Country F immediately, but right before he boarded the plane, he was stopped by customs,
17:35a travel ban had been issued against him, due to his involvement in an ongoing financial case, as well as
17:40accessory liability for the false accusation.
17:43He smashed up his entire office in a fit of rage, but it did nothing to change the outcome.
17:48He could only wait in that empty mansion, guarding the specimen box and those medical reports, waiting for the travel
17:54ban to lift, waiting for any word from Stella.
17:57It was his birthday, for the past ten years, Stella had never missed his birthday.
18:02Every single year, she'd spend weeks preparing his gift, and cook him a pot of spaghetti from scratch.
18:07But this year, there was no gift, not even a text, not a single phone call.
18:11He sat at the dining table, staring at the cold bowl of spaghetti in front of him.
18:17He'd cooked it over and over, following Stella's old recipe down to the last detail, but he could never recreate
18:22the taste he remembered.
18:24He picked up his phone and dialed that number he knew by heart once again.
18:27This time, all that came through the speaker was an automated message, telling him the number he had dialed was
18:32no longer in service.
18:33She'd changed her number. She'd cut off every last tie to him, completely and utterly.
18:38Harrison collapsed onto the table, and broke down and loud, heaving sobs like a lost child.
18:44He finally understood how Stella had felt all those years ago at the airport, clinging to his hand and refusing
18:49to let go.
18:50He finally understood the soul-crushing despair she'd felt, watching him hold another woman in his arms.
18:56He finally understood that some things, once lost, can never be found again.
19:01I thrived in country F.
19:02The moment the plane touched down, and I saw my mom and dad waiting for me at the airport, all
19:08the grief and pain I'd bottled up for months came flooding out.
19:10I collapsed into their arms and cried.
19:13They didn't blame me. They didn't bring up what had happened all those years ago.
19:17They just rubbed my back, whispering over and over,
19:20You're home now. It's okay, you're home.
19:23It turned out they'd never truly cut ties with me.
19:26All those years, they'd been quietly keeping tabs on how I was doing.
19:30They just never reached out, scared I wouldn't want to see them, scared they'd disturb my life.
19:35Under my mom's meticulous care, my body slowly healed, and the scars on my heart were gently mended, little by
19:42little, by the warmth of family.
19:43Mason, one of my mom's former students, stopped by the house often after he heard I'd come home.
19:49He was a gentle, steady man.
19:51He knew what I'd been through, but never pressed for painful details.
19:56He only ever gave me exactly the right amount of company and support, exactly when I needed it.
20:01With his referral, I joined his investment firm, stepping back into the work I'd excelled at all those years ago.
20:08After all, it was I who'd landed the very first windfall that built Harrison's company from nothing.
20:13It was I who designed and executed his first breakout hit project.
20:17But somewhere along the way, I'd given up my career for him, trapped myself in the four walls of a
20:22house, and lost myself in the process.
20:25The moment I stepped back into the corporate world, I finally found myself again.
20:30I no longer lived in fear of losing a man's love, no longer drained myself over a relationship that was
20:35never worth it.
20:36I had my own career, my own family, my own life.
20:39Mason's presence was like soft spring rain, gentle and unwavering.
20:44He remembered I had a sensitive stomach, and would always ask the restaurant to make my food mild ahead of
20:49every meal.
20:50He remembered I was afraid of the dark, and would always drive me home personally if I worked late.
20:56He respected every single one of my thoughts, supported every decision I made, and never once asked me to change
21:01a single thing about myself for him.
21:03Unlike Harrison's love, which had burnt hot and wild until it scorched everything in its path, Mason's love was quiet,
21:10steady, and deep.
21:11It was a safe harbor where I could let my guard down completely, without fear.
21:15We fell into a relationship naturally, no grand, dramatic vows, only quiet, consistent companionship.
21:23On my birthday, Mason took me to the beach.
21:25The sunset spilled over the water, painting the waves in gold.
21:29He took my hand in his, and asked me softly if I'd marry him.
21:32I looked into his eyes, full of warmth and sincerity, and smiled, nodding yes.
21:37The sea breeze blew over us, carrying the salt of the ocean.
21:41I suddenly remembered the line I'd written on the card I left for Harrison,
21:45My love has gone to the sea.
21:46It turned out to be true.
21:48All the regret and pain I'd buried in the depths would finally be smoothed away by the tide.
21:52A new love would always find its way to you, riding on the wind from the sea.
21:57The day Mason and I got engaged, I saw Harrison standing outside my apartment building.
22:02It had been a full year since I'd left.
22:08Stella! Stella!
22:12His eyes were bloodshot and clouded, only flaring to sudden.
22:15I finally found you.
22:17Sharp life the second he saw me.
22:18I finally get to see you.
22:20Like a drowning man grabbing for his last lifeline.
22:23Stella, I know I was wrong. I know it with every fiber of my being.
22:27What I did with Vivian. I was blind. I was stupid. I failed you. I failed our babies.
22:32Hit me. Yell at me. Punish me however you want.
22:35I'll give you all my companies, my life, everything.
22:39Just please. Come home with me. Please.
22:44I looked at him calmly. Not a single ripple in my chest.
22:48No hatred. No resentment.
22:51Only complete and total pieced, IT was like watching a stranger put on a belated, overwrought tragedy.
22:56Harrison, stand up.
22:57What we had ended a long time ago.
23:02It ended the day you walked through that front door with Vivian.
23:06It ended the day you killed our eight babies with your own two hands.
23:13No!
23:15We had ten years together. You can't just throw that away.
23:20I know you're still angry at me. Let me spend the rest of my life making it up to you,
23:24okay?
23:26We can have more babies. We can go back to the way things were, please.
23:31We can never go back.
23:34What you owe me.
23:37What you owe those eight babies.
23:39Then bees can never be repaid with a single I'm sorry.
23:43You saw the gift I left you.
23:44You destroyed it with your own hands and it can never, ever be fixed.
23:49I'm happy now. I have a partner, a home, a life of let go of the past.
23:53I'm asking you to leave me alone and never bother me again.
23:58I'm going with him.
24:12Stella! Don't go!
24:18Please.
24:26Later, I heard he'd been forcibly deported back to his home country.
24:33After that, word got around that he'd liquidated every last one of his companies and assets, holing up a loan
24:38in that empty mansion.
24:40He never dated again, never married anyone else.
24:45Mason and I had our wedding in country F.
24:47It was a small, simple ceremony, but it was brimming with more happiness than I'd ever known.
24:53A year later, I gave birth to a healthy set of boy-girl twins.
24:57On the twins' first birthday, a breaking international news alert flashed across the TV.
25:02American National Harrison illegally flew a small private plane into country F's restricted airspace.
25:07The plane lost control and crashed into the Gulf with no survivors.
25:11On our wedding day, I'd send a single white rose to him, through a courier.
25:16It was my final goodbye to the ten years of my youth I'd given to him.
25:20Now, he'd sunk to the bottom of the sea, along with that crashed plane.
25:25And the love that had died in me, long ago, had already been laid to rest in those same waters,
25:30with the eight babies we never got to hold.
25:32What we had is gone forever, my love has sunk to the sea.
25:36For the rest of my days, I will walk every mile of this world in peace and joy, never again
25:41to be shaken.
