00:28my
00:28palms this was supposed to be our first trip since i lost our baby a year ago he claimed it
00:33was a top
00:33level military emergency i almost would have believed it if my dad weren't a major general
00:37if something serious had happened my dad would have known first walker he's just a colonel command
00:41wouldn't call him before my dad yeah at first i thought maybe i'd gotten it wrong maybe he hadn't
00:45lied same turn same gate same road back to base for a second i thought he really had told me
00:49the truth
00:49but my gut said otherwise i knew he was hiding something we stopped outside the officer's housing
00:54pound inside the whole place was set up for a party string lights hung over the lawn folding tables ran
00:58across the yard the air was thick with cigarette smoke beer and barbecue i frowned what the hell
01:02was this i got out of the car what's going on ma'am you didn't hear colonel hale's wife is
01:07expecting
01:07she's three months along this whole party's for her for a second i thought i heard him wrong who
01:12colonel hale's wife i barely heard the rest i pushed past him and ran in then i saw him walker
01:18stood
01:18there with his arm around a young woman she was tucked against his side cheeks pink his hand rested
01:23gently on her stomach then she looked up my blood ran cold it was lily the girl we saved on
01:30that
01:30mountain road a year ago i still remember that night rain was pounding so hard i could hardly see
01:34anything then a girl threw herself in front of our car then we heard armed men closing in walker was
01:38out of the car in a second gun in hand i was eight months pregnant i should have stayed in
01:41the car but
01:41i didn't i got out to help when i woke up woke up the army doctor told me i'd lost
01:44the baby and that i
01:45might never be able to have enough it's all my fault i'm so sorry lily dropped to her knees beside
01:50my bed sobbing and blaming herself for everything after that always quiet always look guilty then
01:55one day walker said it like it was nothing let her stay you need someone to look after you and
01:58just
01:58like that lily stayed on base what i never saw coming was this walker sleeping with her getting
02:02her pregnant and letting the world think she was his wife congratulations colonel hale a sun on the
02:07way when walker saw her like that his eyes softened then like he couldn't help himself he leaned
02:12down and kissed her it was a long kiss when it ended his thumb lingered at the corner of her
02:17mouth
02:17then he went still across the noise and the crowd he saw me standing at the front gate mrs hale
02:23you
02:23must be thrilled a grandson coming and a sweet girl like this carrying him you're a lucky woman guess
02:27tonight we finally get to meet colonel hale's wife even his hard-faced mother diane was smiling
02:31in a way she never had with me walker looked like he was off of the world and lily the
02:34more they
02:34praised her the more shy she acted pink cheeks downcast eyes she just kept clinging closer and closer
02:38into walker he saw me panic flashed across his face he instinctively pushed lily away
02:43maya i walked straight toward him slap before he could finish my name i slapped him hard across the
02:48face this is your so-called base emergency mission the entire party went dead silent lily reacted first
02:53screaming and rushing to walker's side caressing his face as if he were the victim maya how dare you
02:59slap the blow sent her stumbling back and walker rushed to hold her up i was about to speak when
03:05a
03:05violent force threw me to the ground carter you bitch my son doesn't want you anymore if anything
03:11happens to my grandson i'll make you pay exactly no matter how jealous you are you can't crash in
03:16and ruin this party and just like that the whole scene erupted accusations flew everywhere people
03:20yelled insults and some were already calling for the military police to drag me emboldened by the
03:24crowd lily flashed me a triumphant smile but in the blink of an eye that snug look was gone her
03:29eyes
03:29filled with tears and her voice turned weak and trembling why can't you just leave us alone maya i know
03:34you're divorced you you can't have walker's children but he's always wanted a son but if
03:37it makes you feel better you can still visit him when the baby's born maya was shaking so hard she
03:44could barely breathe she wanted to ask him when the hell they got divorced she wanted to ask him
03:50loosen rangers but he cut her off well under hard damon that's enough he shoved lily behind him like
03:57she was the one worth protecting his jaw tightened and a vein stood out at his temple

04:12walk
04:12away with some dignity don't make this uglier than it already is leave now or i'll call the mps
04:18cold rushed through her so fast it felt like she'd fallen into ice water
04:24i'm sorry there's nothing more we can do back when the doctor said she might never have children
04:28again walker's mother screamed and begged him to leave her but walker said no he held her and told
04:33her he loved her he told her it didn't matter whether she could give him children he told her
04:36he would never divorce her not in this lifetime what a joke every word had been a lie maya slowly

14:50my father's boot slammed down on the marriage certificate on the ground
14:59abuse of power falsifying official documents
15:05every word slammed into walker making him shake

16:37she knew that from this moment on
16:41she would never have to face it alone again and the reckoning
17:12the truth is never buried
17:21he didn't need to say a word
17:22because every second that followed would make walker wish he were dead
17:28within 10 minutes the truth came out
17:30walker used his position to make the county clerk record his marriage to lily
17:34even though we hadn't filed for divorce yet
17:36good
17:37very good hale
17:38walker shook so hard he could barely stand
17:40he looked ready to beg
17:41but no words came out
17:42he just
17:44take him
17:45soldiers ripped the insignia off walker's uniform on the spot
17:50minutes earlier he'd swaggered like he owned
17:54diane threw herself forward to beg for him
17:57but an mp shoved her aside roughly
18:00she crashed to the ground and wailed
18:06everyone went quiet the loudest shouters now hid in the corners trembling in fear
18:11afraid dad would go after them next and that their husbands would also be taken away
18:16lilly sat there clutching her stomach
18:19lilly sat there clutching her stomach pale as a ghost
18:21come on sweetheart
18:24dad's taking you home
18:27he wiped the blood from my face
18:31his jaw tightened instantly
18:34in the rearview mirror i took one last look at the crowd at the gate
18:38they looked stunned like they still couldn't process what had happened
18:44they grew smaller and smaller until they vanished
18:48and i finally looked away
18:50does it still hurt
18:51i'd been sure he'd blame me
18:54for not listening to him for insisting on marrying walker for dragging myself into this nightmare
19:00but he didn't
19:02he just looked at me gentle and heartbroken
19:05i hung my head and bit my lip
19:09the silence in the car was suffocating
19:15dad
19:18i'm sorry
19:19in that moment all the pain i'd held back burst out
19:24i hung my head to hide it
19:27no
19:28it doesn't hurt anymore
19:32you've been through enough
19:34cry if you want to
19:35back then we were both wrong
19:37it wasn't all your fault
19:39maybe if i hadn't pushed you so hard
19:41you wouldn't have been so set on marrying him
19:43maybe you wouldn't have left home
19:44i wouldn't have lost you for all those years
19:47if i'd been there for you that bastard never would have dared treat you like this
19:51i sniffed hard
19:52for the first time i realized how stupid i'd been
19:56i'd thrown away a father as gentle and loving as him for a man like walker
20:05come on sweetheart let's go home
20:08mom's waiting for you
20:31she finally let go of all the pretense and strength
20:44he remembered her as a little girl ponytail bouncing laughing as she ran into his arms
20:56dad i'm sorry i should have listened to you
21:18mom never stopped waiting for her
21:20never
21:26dawn was coming so was hers
21:30everything would be okay
21:32because she finally knew
21:34she wasn't alone
21:38the car rolled slowly up the driveway
21:40before it stopped mom pushed open the front door and hurried out
21:45still wearing her apron holding a spatula
21:48clearly running straight from the kitchen
21:51my baby who did this
22:04let's get inside first
22:05the table was covered with my favorite food
22:07the smell of roast meat and gravy filled the house
22:10mom tried not to look at my injuries but she couldn't help it
22:13her eyes kept drifting back and each time she looked more heartbroken
22:16only two years and he's done this to you that bastard
22:20i ate in silence unable to say a word
22:25leave him you have to leave him
22:28if i'd known he'd hurt you like this i would have stopped that wedding no matter what
22:34it's handled
22:35and just like that the three of us found our way back to each other
22:39we sat and talked trying to make up for the lost years
22:51suddenly a loud miserable wail came from outside
22:55maya oh maya i was wrong i was so wrong
22:59lily's vicious she turned on walker once he got into trouble wants a divorce and is even
23:04getting rid of their baby i get it now you were the only one who ever stood by him

23:25i let out a cold laugh so that was her game she couldn't bear to lose her grandson
23:30and she was terrified walker would lose everything so she tried to play both sides

24:10i slowly unclenched my fists a cold smile curling on my lips

25:45her don had finally come
25:47she lost everything then found it all again
25:51this time she would never let go
25:56he sat frozen throat dry staring blankly
26:01his eyes were bloodshot unfocused like he hadn't slept in weeks
26:06his fingers curled and uncurled trembling
26:11at first he tried to fight to explain to talk his way out
26:15but the evidence piled up forgery abuse of power adultery coercing subordinates to lie
26:22one charge after another by the end he'd stopped pretending
26:26colonel hail
26:28you are sentenced to 10 years in prison
26:33you are stripped of your rank and dismissed from the service
26:39then the judge read the sentence the courtroom went dead silent
26:46walker sank into his seat all the life drained out of him
26:55diane sat in the gallery she broke down the second she heard the sentence rushed to me
27:01and grabbed my sleeve
