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