00:10don't move
00:13don't create your parents send the bodies to my company we need to davers for the anatomy program
00:18listening to the ambiguous moans and faint running water over the phone i smiled bitterly
00:23my husband ethan was so cold-blooded but he had no idea the dead weren't my parents they were his
00:29a snake attack at the campsite left his entire family clinging to life only his company had the
00:34specific anti-venom i called him countless times he hung up every single one delayed treatment killed
00:41them all i stared at the five bodies behind me sighed by the time i got to the hospital ethan's
00:46entire family was already on the verge of death the doctor pulled me aside this species of snake
00:51is extremely rare the only facility with the specific anti-venom is your husband's company
00:57i called ethan like crazy he rejected every single call on the hundredth try he finally answered
01:06it's sophia's birthday tonight i'm spending it with her stop being so paranoid i kept thinking
01:11about his family in the er i swallowed every question burning in my throat and said quickly
01:16your mom your dad your sister they were all bitten the hospital doesn't have this anti-venom your
01:20company does please bring it now one vial costs over a hundred grand have some self-respect sienna
01:26your whole family gets bitten and you come crying to me what am i your personal bank take a good
01:32hard
01:32look at yourself he hung up without mercy i sat frozen in a hospital chair i couldn't make myself
01:39believe those words had just come out of my husband's mouth he probably didn't even have the
01:43patience to listen to what i was saying then my phone buzzed suddenly a chanel boutique alert popped
01:49up the limited birthday bag my parents had reserved nearly a million dollars in value just picked up by
01:54my husband i didn't even have to guess that bag was on sophia's arm right now stealing my things to
02:00give to the woman he loved he'd done it so many times every time i said something he'd roll his
02:05eyes
02:06you're married walking around with a bag like that just makes you look desperate let sophia use it
02:10she's closing a deal don't be petty sophia is basically my sister if you love me you'll support
02:14how i take care of her if you love me you'll support how i take care of her he put
02:18sophia on a
02:18pedestal designer bags on demand sports cars a penthouse and me his actual wife i couldn't even
02:24get a handful of life-saving vials what a joke i was still typing a message to the boutique when
02:29ethan posted on instagram the most expensive bag for the most important person tonight belongs to us
02:35sophia's post followed seconds later my night promised to always stay your medicine didn't
02:40just save my family it saved my heart the photo the two of them pressed close smiling a vial of
02:47anti-venom raised in her hand like a trophy while ethan was spending lavishly on sophia his own
02:52family was waiting to die the er doors slid open the doctor walked out mask already down i rushed over
02:58give me a little more time i'll get the anti-venom here i swear there's no need
03:03all five patients are gone i'm so sorry for your loss my nose burned my chest caved in two hours
03:10ago
03:11they'd been laughing now five bodies lake hold in the morgue while their son was out celebrating
03:15lower than dirt i held back my tears and messaged the boutique i never came in to pick anything up
03:21please contact the police the doctor had mentioned this particular snake was nearly extinct in the
03:26country because of that no hospital stalked the anti-venom a little too convenient a near extinct
03:32snake in their tent five people dead the police took it seriously and moved fast they traced it
03:39quickly someone had bulk ordered live snakes online and released them at the campsite the suspects were
03:44sophia's parents i hoped ethan wouldn't cry too ugly when he found out ma'am we have a clear picture
03:49of what happened but both suspects are currently hospitalized we can't bring them in for questioning
03:54just yet now i knew why sophia was holding the serum in that picture i kept my face blank but
04:00the venom's
04:00already been treated nothing's stopping you from questioning them now he gave me a long look
04:04clearly wondering how i knew but didn't push i must have looked too hollowed out we'll get to the truth
04:09after he left i filed a civil lawsuit on my phone right then ethan called what the hell is your
04:14problem i'm your husband i picked up a bag for you now you're reporting it stolen are you insane
04:19one accusation after another no pause no care for anything i was going through right now i cut through
04:24it cold and quiet i never got that bag ethan you said you picked it up where is it now
04:29it stretched out
04:30long enough to answer the question his voice softened that calculated shift i knew too well
04:35we're husband and wife and everything though shared you won't have to knock i'm out out of here
04:41sophia just wants this bag today her birthday and i just want to make her happy your husband's card
04:47don't be like this absolutely shameless the feeling of giving is wonderful so don't be so stingy if you
04:54want to buy her something why don't you use your own money oh right because you're completely useless
04:59how dare you say i'm good for nothing are you crazy before i always watched my words around him
05:05always protected his ego like it was something fragile looking back now his skin was thicker
05:09than a wall if you're a man go to the hospital morgue now and see the evil you've done they
05:15already
05:15dead and i can't save them don't spoil don't my kishin first bent cream at your parents don't up
05:24their bodies give my companies for the atopsamal sophia's parents had an accident and she is on the
05:28verge of collapse she needs someone to accompany her i laughed so he thought it was my family i'd been
05:34planning to give his parents a proper burial as soon as possible instead i ordered five
05:39industrial freezer units per ethan's request i sent his entire family to his company i'd been home
05:45barely 10 minutes when ethan burst in and slapped me across the face sophia's hysterical her parents
05:51just got out of surgery and you're already suing them do you even have a conscience
05:55at least they're alive the people their snakes killed are still lying in those freezers something
06:00flickered in ethan's eyes that was my anti-venom i give it to whoever i want your parents had no
06:06business going camping they got bitten that's on them sophia's parents are sitting in a hospital
06:13being questioned by detectives because of your lawsuit can't you show a little mercy to the living
06:20maybe your parents getting bitten was karma for you being so cold-hearted maybe this was just your
06:26parents fate if it wasn't a snake something else would have taken them out your whole family is gone
06:31now i'm all you have left don't be ungrateful sienna i know you're hurting but the dead are gone
06:41the living have to keep going sophia is willing to offer compensation i'll top it up
06:47a million dollars total that's enough isn't it he said it like he was talking about the weather
06:52five lives in their eyes worth a million dollars ethan was spoiled rotten by his parents his whole life
06:59thinking about the moment he'd open those freezers and see their faces i couldn't help but wear a star
07:03with a smile what's so funny stop playing games will you agree to my terms ethan didn't have the
07:09patience to let me finish after all i wiped the corner of my eye still smiling okay transfer it then
07:14payment received one million dollars ethan had covered the rest almost certainly every dollar
07:20of liquid cash his company had left he watched me accept it i should tell you this morning i signed
07:25a formal letter of non-prosecution on your behalf as your husband sophia's parents are already off the
07:31book you should be thanking sophia for being so generous without her you wouldn't have seen a dime
07:36now go tell the police the theft report was a mistake i reached into the nightstand drawer
07:40and pulled out the divorce agreement i'd drawn up that morning sign it return my bag we're done
07:46or i come after you too you're divorcing me over this i could see the calculation behind the rage
07:51he needed my father's connections but he also thought my father was dead and no longer of any use to
07:57him
07:57and sophia had whispered to him just last night that she needed someone to lean on i called after him
08:03checked his signature carefully everything in order ethan there's a waiting period we're technically still
08:10married come with me to your company say goodbye to your family one last time we arrived at his
08:15company together i was certain ethan's mind was on sophia and he still hadn't heard a word i said
08:21the basement ran cold the chill hit me the moment i stepped in five bodies lay in a row covered
08:27in
08:28white sheet my company is not a dump mom dad i'm so sorry and ava marcus what the fuck are
08:35you
08:35talking about say it again if i'm lying i said go look for yourself he stood there for a long
08:43moment
08:43then he moved toward the nearest stretcher slowly his hands were shaking so badly he could barely grip
08:49the sheet but the truth was right there impossible to deny his mother ava and even their three-year-old
08:56all of them lying still on the slabs they'd been there long enough for the lividity to set in
09:02no no no ethan couldn't take it how is this possible weren't you the ones who were supposed to die
09:07why are my parents here a long broken scream tore out of him then why didn't you tell me
09:15if i'd known it was my parents i would have brought the anti-venom back
09:18this is your fault you did this on purpose you bitch watching him fall apart like that something cold
09:25and satisfying rose up in me this is exactly what you brought on yourself
09:30did you ever actually listen to a word i said you had your mind on sophia every second what was
09:36i
09:36supposed to do i called you over a hundred times if you'd picked up just once more just once they
09:41wouldn't be dead how how did this happen weren't you the ones who were supposed to
09:45disgusting i sent hundreds of messages begged you to come back you didn't read a single one
09:51what messages there's nothing here you're lying you hid this from me on purpose
10:00he lunged at me eyes wild it's not your parents who are dead of course you're calm
10:06please calm down i pulled out my phone and held it up so he could see the screen
10:10ethan please come back it's your parents who were bitten they're not going to make it
10:16hundreds of messages every one of them ethan stared at the screen the longer he looked the
10:21more the color left his face by the end he was gray he couldn't run from it anymore i kept
10:26my voice
10:27cold the person who helped kill your family is you but then your parents had no business going camping
10:32their fault for being stupid they brought it on themselves you rown a guilty there you don't need
10:39to feel guilty sophia is what matters to you now i gave them all back like a blade finding its
10:44way home
10:45one inch at a time ethan's eyes went wider and wider his whole body was trembling rattling like
10:51he might shake apart then his eyes rolled back i felt nothing for ethan not one flicker of sympathy
10:58but we hadn't finished the paperwork yet on paper i was still his wife give them give them a proper
11:04funeral i want them to go out with dignity what funeral didn't you say they deserved what happened
11:10to them that sending them here as cadavers was the right call
11:14i already had them brought over just like you asked now you're changing your mind how inconvenient
11:19are you out of your mind my parents are dead and you still won't let them go
11:23you know those words aren't human don't you and yet you said them to me first
11:28i'm just giving them back can't handle it ethan opened his mouth closed it his lips trembled then
11:34he let out a sharp cry and coughed up blood he sank back against the pillow and after a long
11:39moment
11:39raised a shaking finger at me you're still here torturing me you want to drive me into the ground
11:46don't you you know i made a mistake if i don't from the start i never would have let this
11:51happen
11:52you my oh my parents everything had fallen apart and ethan was still trying to pin it on me not
12:01a chance
12:01i got to the hospital first spent my own money called you a hundred times that was me
12:07and you you ignored your own wife you refused to listen i wanted justice for your family
12:14i filed that lawsuit with my own money and then you turned around used my name to sign a letter
12:19of
12:19non-prosecution and handed the killers a free pass if your family knew you traded their lives for
12:24sophia's they wouldn't rest easy in the ground my voice was rising now i couldn't stop it
12:28you worthless piece of garbage you destroyed your own family and now you want to blame me for it
12:33the people who drifted over to listen exploded i've heard of choosing a fling over a friend
12:37but choosing a fling over your entire family that's a new one he's an animal how does he sleep at
12:43night
12:44you'd get more loyalty from a dog this poor woman she's had the worst luck ethan had no answer for
12:50any
12:53just this moment his phone rang sophia's voice warm and sweet we were supposed to watch the
12:58fireworks tonight remember did you forget about me whatever softness ethan had ever felt for her
13:03was gone his expression turned to stone you still have the nerve to call me answer me this did you
13:09delete the messages sienna sent me every single one of them you talked me into signing that letter
13:13you knew exactly what you were doing you killed my entire family i gave you everything i had how could
13:18you do this to me not just grief a disbelief so deep it seemed to hollow him out he'd never
13:22been
13:22able to believe it that the girl he'd protected and adored could have done something this monstrous
13:27the illusion shattered on the other end sophia was completely calm that's hurtful ethan the messages
13:31disappearing could have been a phone glitch how can you suspect me like this besides you're the one who
13:35told me it was sienna's family that got bitten you said her parents deserved it they were gone i just
13:39agreed with you since it was actually your parents i'm sorry for your loss i'm tired goodbye
13:46of course her parents were safe she had nothing left to worry about scream all you want it won't
13:51do anything sophia had one thing right the dead are gone figure out how to bury them properly i meant
13:58it we'd been under the same roof for years i didn't want them to go without peace after he was
14:03discharged ethan didn't rest he arranged the funeral immediately this is all my fault i failed you dad mom
14:09ava marcus i'm so sorry please go in peace i'll come every year i promise he looked like a man
14:16who'd
14:16aged 20 years in a week pale hollow hair unwashed barely holding together once i would have felt
14:22something watching him like that now i just thought this is what you earned five lives gone because of
14:27his indifference i didn't want to leave a trace two days later once i'd settled everything i went to
14:33finalize the divorce he looked like he'd aged 20 years overnight dark circles hollow cheeks hair a
14:39mess nothing left of the man who used to run a company a vagrant would have looked better sienna
14:44these past two days i've thought about everything i was wrong i let sophia blind me for the sake of
14:50what we had can you give me one more chance i'll take care of you properly this time i swear
14:55i'll never
14:56hurt you again not a chance the moment you chose sophia over your own family you were already dead to
15:01me
15:02don't touch me or i'll call the police he hadn't expected that the last hope in his eyes went out
15:08when we'd first gotten together he had nothing but he was devoted that's why my parents trusted
15:13him with me then his business took off the ego grew with the money he stopped seeing anyone but himself
15:19and when sophia came back into his life they had whatever we had was finished a friend once warned me
15:26our worlds were too far apart it could never last i thought love could bridge anything looking back
15:32she was right even now you'll always be in my heart i was such a fool i know that now
15:37you were the only
15:38one who ever actually loved me i have no one left now you're all i have in this world very
15:43touching
15:44but i felt nothing save it when you were screaming at me for sophia i didn't seem all that important
15:48we're divorced we're strangers now don't contact me again i didn't give him the chance to say another
15:53word a week later ethan filed a lawsuit against sophia's family we were divorced but this was about
15:58justice for those five people i showed up as a witness i know you have every right to hate me
16:02but you're the only witness i have i had no choice i'm not here for you i'm here for them
16:09oh so that's
16:10what happened you turned him against me this whole lawsuit is you pulling his strings isn't it
16:14you're vicious no wonder they'd gotten along so well same logic same entitlement same voice ethan
16:20you know i've already paid compensation my parents are old you know they didn't mean for any of this
16:25please drop it i'll pray for your family every day no way it was the first time i'd ever heard
16:32ethan speak to sophia that way the investigation had confirmed everything sophia's parents had bought
16:38and released the snakes targeting a neighbor they had a grudge against the neighbor had already
16:42left by the time the snakes got loose and ethan's family had still been there and sophia had deleted
16:48every one of my messages to keep ethan in the dark make sure the anti-venom stayed with her parents
16:54five people paid for that with their lives ethan's jaw was tight if you hadn't deleted those messages i
16:59would have known i would have brought the anti-venom back they had a chance you took it from them
17:07your family is the reason mine is dead he also told the court he'd been misled when he signed the
17:13letter of non-prosecution and requested it be voided i backed him up the judge's expression when
17:19he heard the full story was something i won't forget he held it together but barely i guessed he was
17:25probably thinking how absurd this was at the same time i filed a separate claim to recover every dollar
17:31ethan had spent on sophia during our marriage we'd still been legally married that was marital property
17:37sophia's eyes went wide money that's already been given away can't be taken back he gave it to me
17:42willingly you two are shameless the court didn't care what she thought ethan came forward with every
17:48transfer record every receipt the verdict sophia's parents life in prison sophia herself five years for
17:55concealing evidence and obstruction making her an accessory and a debt of three million dollars to
18:00repay when it came to dividing assets ethan was generous the apartment the car all of it came to
18:05me along with everything that had been seized from sophia the bags the watches the sports car i know
18:11nothing i say will make this right i just hope this helps i didn't argue i took it all it
18:15was mine to
18:16begin with with that kind of money i didn't need to work another day if i didn't want to without
18:20my
18:21family's backing his company hit a cash crisis it couldn't recover from and ethan drowning in grief
18:27drinking every night smoking through every day ethan didn't ask me for money he just asked to see me
18:32once but i said no the past is the past i was living well i heard later that he'd fled
18:38overseas
18:38to escape creditors got swallowed up by gambling and couldn't find his way back out sophia's family
18:44didn't fare any better prison has its own brutal hierarchy her parents old and frail were worked
18:50over until they were barely breathing sophia had been pampered her whole life one rainy night
18:55she gave up when i heard about each of their endings i felt nothing not satisfaction not grief what
19:02goes around comes around the world evens out eventually i took a portion of what i had and
19:08donated it to a medical research team working on snake venom treatments there was still so much good
19:13life ahead of me a little money was nothing at least it was spent on something meaningful
