00:00J'étais en train d'arrivée de mon bridal gown,
00:03en train de se passer dans la voiture,
00:04et Derek a pris mon arm.
00:08Hold on, vous êtes en train de l'arrivée.
00:12What?
00:13Vanessa se passe car-sick, elle a de l'arrivée.
00:15Juste de l'arrivée, ce n'est pas un long drive.
00:17Derek, c'est notre jour de l'arrivée.
00:20Je dois t'arrivée à l'arrivée de votre secrétaire avec vous.
00:23Vous pensez que c'est OK?
00:25Je n'ai jamais entendu parler de car-sick,
00:27donc vous avez la voiture.
00:28Vanessa peut barely garder la smirte off de la face.
00:31Sorry about this, Sophie.
00:33Marcus wanted to make sure I was comfortable.
00:36I didn't ask for this.
00:38I was about to explode.
00:40But with half our families watching,
00:42I kept my voice flat and even.
00:45If you pull up with Vanessa in that seat,
00:48people are going to think you married her.
00:51Not me.
00:52Why does it matter what people think?
00:54Everyone here knows who I'm marrying.
00:56I went straight to his mother.
00:58Mom.
00:59Derek is insisting Vanessa ride with him and wants me to out.
01:03Sophie.
01:03Marcus works so hard.
01:05He always needs Vanessa close by.
01:07If something work-related comes up on the drive,
01:10it's easier for them to handle it together.
01:12Learn to give a little.
01:13This whole family was on her side.
01:15Derek had already opened the passenger door of the wedding car for Vanessa.
01:18She got in.
01:19The guests around us were murmuring.
01:21The women from my office who had never liked me weren't even pretending anymore.
01:25Phones were out.
01:26They were filming the wedding car, then panning over to me, then back.
01:29The gold digger's forma caught up fast.
01:31He married her, but he won't even let her ride in the bridal car.
01:33Vanessa is who Marcus actually loves.
01:35I couldn't take it anymore.
01:37Shut up!
01:37They lowered their phones, unhappy about it.
01:40Sophie, you're still nothing compared to Venena in his eyes.
01:45Honestly, if I were you, I wouldn't go through with this.
01:48If you have any self-respect left, go home.
01:52I'm not going anywhere.
01:53This wedding is happening.
01:55I wasn't about to walk away and hand this to Vanessa on a plate.
01:59Everyone assumed I was the one who pressured Derek into marrying me.
02:02The truth was the exact opposite.
02:04To get me to say yes, Derek had rented out an entire cruise ship.
02:09He set off 999 fireworks over the harbor waterfront.
02:13He proposed to me 18 times before I agreed.
02:17All of that was a punchline now.
02:19I walked over and pulled open the passenger door of the nearest car and got in.
02:25He won't even let you ride in the bridal car on your own wedding day.
02:27You sure you still want to go through with this?
02:29I turned.
02:30It was Noah, my childhood best friend.
02:32The guy I'd grown up with.
02:34You came to watch me fall apart?
02:36When I'd first told him I was marrying Derek, Noah had pushed back hard.
02:40We fought about it more than once.
02:42We almost didn't make it through.
02:44I'm not that petty.
02:46A short silence.
02:47If you want out right now, I'll take you.
02:49Wherever you want to go.
02:50To the venue.
02:53You still want to marry him after this?
02:55Drive.
02:56Noah hit the steering wheel once, hard.
02:58Then he started the car.
02:59We were about halfway there when a sedan flew out of Noah and drove straight at us.
03:04Noah's reflexes were faster than first, and we only got clipped along the side.
03:08A girl in a very short skirt climbed out of the other car and came straight to our window, knocking
03:14on the glass.
03:15You hit my car.
03:16Nobody is leaving until you pay for the damage.
03:19Stay here.
03:20I'll handle it.
03:22That was when Derek called.
03:25Where are you?
03:26We've been here forever.
03:27What's taking so long?
03:29I was in an accident.
03:31A car accident on a wedding day?
03:33Is that a sign?
03:34Maybe someone up there doesn't want this wedding to happen.
03:36Don't say things like that.
03:38Sophie, just grab a cab and get here.
03:40Don't hold up the ceremony.
03:41I was in an accident.
03:43Your first question isn't whether I'm hurt.
03:46It's whether I'm going to be late.
03:48My wife is tough.
03:49She's fine.
03:50Grab a cab.
03:53Everyone's waiting.
03:55He hung up.
03:57The girl who grabbed me was the same one who had driven into us.
04:01Up close, I finally recognized her.
04:03I didn't know her name, but I'd seen her once at the office.
04:07She was Vanessa's best friend.
04:08You're not going anywhere.
04:10Nobody in this car is leaving.
04:12This is my car.
04:13You have a problem, you deal with me.
04:15That's not how this works.
04:17Everyone in the car stays.
04:19There are cameras on this street.
04:21The footage will show you drove into us.
04:24I don't care.
04:26Nobody leaves.
04:28Vanessa sent you, didn't she?
04:32I don't know any Vanessa.
04:34Video call from Vanessa.
04:37I picked up.
04:38She was standing in front of a mirror in my custom couture wedding gown.
04:41My bridal makeup artist working on her hair behind her.
04:45What do you think, Sophie?
04:46Does it suit me?
04:47Don't read into this.
04:49Marcus just thought you might not make it in time.
04:51He didn't want to delay things.
04:52He asked me to fill in.
04:54You don't have to rush anymore, honestly.
04:56I'll stream the whole ceremony for you live.
04:59Actually, I won't bother with the reception.
05:02It drains the battery.
05:03Talk soon.
05:04I sat back in the car and watched the wedding I had planned play out on my phone screen.
05:08Every flower arrangement had been my choice.
05:11I had gone back and forth on each one.
05:13The venue setup, the lighting, every detail.
05:16Someone else was standing in the middle of it.
05:18The MC's voice came through the stream, rising.
05:21You may now kiss your bride.
05:23Derek didn't hesitate.
05:24He leaned in.
05:25The camera zoomed in on them.
05:27When they finally pulled apart, it lingered.
05:29I opened the car door and threw up.
05:33Noah was immediately beside me.
05:35What happened?
05:36I'm taking you to hospital.
05:38I waved to mom.
05:39I took the water he handed me and rinsed my mouth.
05:42The bridal gown felt unbearable.
05:44I wanted it off.
05:46I noticed a bag on the back seat.
05:47I looked inside.
05:49It was Noah's dress shirts and trousers.
05:51Just back from the dry cleaner, I took off my handpiece.
05:55I changed into a clothes right there.
05:57They were too big, but I rolled the sleeves and the hems.
06:00Used a hair tie to cinch the waist.
06:02It would do it.
06:03My phone lit up again.
06:06Sophie.
06:07Gorgeous ceremony, wasn't it?
06:09We're about to start the table rounds.
06:11I won't stream this part.
06:13Batteries low.
06:15Bye.
06:16Noah came back to the car and stopped dead when he saw me.
06:18You're wearing my...
06:19You don't mind, do you?
06:23No.
06:24No, I don't mind.
06:25So you're not going to the ceremony.
06:27Marcus and Vanessa already walked through the whole thing together.
06:31Noah.
06:32You always said you didn't want me marrying someone else.
06:37City Hall.
06:39Are we going or not?
06:40City Hall.
06:41Are we going or not?
06:43Noah went completely still.
06:45You mean...
06:46You and me?
06:47Getting a marriage license?
06:51If you don't want to, forget I said it.
06:54Are you kidding me?
06:56No.
06:59Let's go.
07:00Right now.
07:01I've been waiting for this my whole life.
07:03He floored it to the courtyard.
07:05Just like that, we got married.
07:08Okay.
07:09Now take me to the reception venue.
07:11The dinner's probably still going.
07:13You want to go back there?
07:14I want to give the happy couple a wedding envelope.
07:18Say no more.
07:19At the venue, I grabbed an envelope from the table and tucked a few crumpled dollars inside.
07:25Noah and I found a quiet corner and sat down.
07:28It took a while, but eventually Derek and Vanessa made their way to our table for the toast rounds.
07:33At first, they didn't recognize me.
07:34When Derek finally looked properly, he went pale.
07:39Sophie, when did you get here?
07:41Whose clothes are those?
07:42The bride already got replaced.
07:44Wearing the dress seemed like a bad joke.
07:46Don't misread this.
07:48You couldn't make it, so I had Vanessa stand in.
07:51I didn't want to keep everyone waiting.
07:53You know how it is.
07:54Of course I understand.
07:55His mother and sister appeared behind him.
07:57His sister looked me up and down.
08:00What are you wearing?
08:01Is that a man's shirt?
08:02Sophie looked bad in front of all these people.
08:03So childish.
08:04She didn't have stepped up.
08:05The whole family would be really close.
08:06You didn't tell her I was in an accident?
08:09The woman who drove into us was Vanessa's best friend.
08:12She's currently in police custody.
08:14Criminal liability probably.
08:16That has nothing to do with Vanessa.
08:17She wouldn't do something like that.
08:18She's not capable of it.
08:21Thank you for believing in me, Marcus.
08:23I can't even defend myself here.
08:25I'm just pointing out that Vanessa did you a favor today.
08:28You should be thanking her, not attacking her.
08:30Apologize.
08:31Right now.
08:32And if you don't, don't bother coming home tonight,
08:34because I will seriously reconsider this whole relationship.
08:37Lucky for you.
08:38Someone else is already planning our wedding.
08:40Right, husband?
08:41What did you just call him?
08:43My husband.
08:44Legal and official.
08:45Thank you, Derek, for not marrying me or not, James.
08:48I'm Mrs. Calibon.
08:53Sophie.
08:54What are you talking about?
08:57I'm your husband.
08:58We had a whole wedding today.
09:02You're confused.
09:03The person who went through the ceremony with you was Vanessa.
09:10All I did was play a few door games.
09:19Vanessa's the one who walked through the whole thing with you.
09:22She was filling in for you.
09:24I mean, she was filling in for you.
09:26You are my bride.
09:28I don't need someone to fill in for me at my own wedding.
09:33Then what exactly are you saying?
09:34Isn't it obvious?
09:36We're done.
09:38And honestly, I'm grateful to you, Derek.
09:41If you hadn't kept insisting we wait until after the ceremony to file the paperwork,
09:47I never would have had the chance to choose someone else.
09:49I wish you and Vanessa all the happiness in the world.
09:54This is our gift to you both.
09:56I pressed the envelope into Vanessa's hand.
10:02There's barely anything in here.
10:05That's about what you're worth.
10:07Vanessa's face went red.
10:12Marcus!
10:15I did everything for her and she's calling me trash to my face!
10:19Sophie, there are guests everywhere.
10:22And your own family is sitting right here.
10:24This is not the time for a tantrum.
10:26My parents are gone.
10:27As for friends, you were the one who pushed me to invite them.
10:31Said a wedding needed a crowd.
10:36If they saw a little drama, fine.
10:38I'm never going to see any of them again anyway.
10:41Derek's jaw tightened.
10:42Sophie, this didn't have to turn into this.
10:45I'm giving you one last chance.
10:48Apologize to Vanessa.
10:49I'll act like none of this happened.
10:51Otherwise, don't come back to the apartment tonight
10:53because I need to seriously think about where we stand.
10:56Okay?
10:57Even if you invited me back, I wouldn't go.
11:02Although I do need to stop by and pick up my things,
11:04everything I bought stays with me.
11:07You don't have a problem with that, do you?
11:10Okay.
11:11I'm done here.
11:12I took Noah's arm and we walked right past Derek.
11:15His face went gray.
11:17Sophie, you want to embarrass me in front of everyone?
11:19Is that it?
11:20Derek followed us outside.
11:22Vanessa tottered after him in her heels.
11:24Marcus, leave Sophie alone.
11:26The more attention you give her, the worse she acts.
11:28Come back inside and finish the reception.
11:30There are still tables to get to.
11:32A sharp cut.
11:33Vanessa's ankle gave out and she went down.
11:36Derek looked at me ahead of him,
11:37then looked back at her.
11:39He went back to her.
11:41Noah drove me to the apartment Derek and I used to share.
11:44I didn't say much,
11:45just started packing my things.
11:47What I couldn't carry,
11:49I broke.
11:50The idea of Derek and Vanessa living here among my things,
11:53I would rather destroy it.
11:56I had imagined a life here.
11:58Children,
11:58growing old together,
12:00all of it had dissolved into nothing.
12:02Before I left,
12:03I transferred back every dollar of the settlement Derek had given me.
12:07Stop looking back.
12:08This place has bad energy.
12:10We'll find somewhere better.
12:11Actually,
12:11there's a new development opening tomorrow on the lakefront.
12:13We could go look.
12:14Okay.
12:18Tonight,
12:19can I stay at yours?
12:21We're legally married.
12:23We're supposed to be living together.
12:24I know you're only asking
12:25because you need somewhere to get away from Derek,
12:26but I'm still very happy about it.
12:28I couldn't quite look at him.
12:30We had known each other for over 20 years,
12:32had been in and out of each other's lives
12:34for basically all of them.
12:35Why don't you shower first?
12:37I'll go after.
12:38Okay.
12:38I hid in the bathroom for a long time,
12:41giving myself a quiet talk.
12:43We had already filed the paperwork.
12:46We were husband and wife.
12:47There was nothing strange about this.
12:50We let the night take its course,
12:52the way it naturally does
12:53between two people who are now,
12:56legally and officially,
12:57married.
13:00I had underestimated him.
13:02Not just the face,
13:04which had always been unfairly good.
13:06The rest of him, too.
13:08And in that particular area,
13:10he was in a completely different category from Derek.
13:15I was very satisfied.
13:17The next morning after breakfast,
13:20Noah drove me out to the lakefront development.
13:23We walked through one of the newly finished estates
13:26and loved it immediately.
13:28We were about to sign
13:30when someone called out behind us.
13:34Sophie.
13:36Derek was jogging toward us.
13:38I finally found you.
13:39Last night,
13:40I went back to the apartment
13:41and all your things were gone.
13:44You sent back every cent I gave you.
13:47I tried calling,
13:49but you'd blocked me everywhere.
13:51I went to your place.
13:52You weren't there.
13:54Someone told me they saw you out here this morning
13:56and I came straight over.
13:58Sophie.
14:00I thought about everything last night.
14:02The ceremony got away from me.
14:04I'll admit that.
14:06You had every right to be upset.
14:08You can be as angry as you want.
14:12Just don't stop talking to me.
14:14We're supposed to be husband and wife.
14:16You don't hold a grudge overnight.
14:20Come home.
14:21Let me make this right.
14:23I'll give you a proper wedding.
14:25The one you deserved.
14:27This time, I'll do everything right.
14:30Derek,
14:31you do understand I'm not sulking, right?
14:34Don't say things you don't mean, Sophie.
14:37Eight years.
14:39You can't just walk away from eight years.
14:42So that's what you think.
14:44Eight years in,
14:46and you figured no matter what you did to me,
14:49I'd never actually leave.
14:51I wasn't doing anything to you.
14:53Vanessa just stood in for the ceremony.
14:55Nothing happened between us.
15:00Nothing happened.
15:03You kissed her in front of everyone,
15:05on camera,
15:06with a close-up.
15:08You want to explain that?
15:09That was...
15:10The moment carried me.
15:12The atmosphere,
15:13everyone watching,
15:13it just...
15:16Sophie,
15:17I'm telling you the truth.
15:19Yesterday
15:20was a mistake.
15:22I don't have feelings for Vanessa.
15:25I'm done listening.
15:26My husband and I are buying a home.
15:28Please don't interrupt us.
15:30You mean Noah?
15:32You two have been friends your whole lives.
15:34Nothing ever happened in 20 plus years,
15:36and now after one day,
15:37he's suddenly your husband?
15:39That's right.
15:44You're not serious.
15:45Honey,
15:46did you bring the certificate?
15:51Open your eyes.
15:52Am I her legal husband,
15:53or am I not?
15:54You actually filed?
15:57You genuinely filed with him?
15:59I told you yesterday.
16:00We're legal.
16:04Sophie,
16:04how could you be this reckless?
16:07A marriage license
16:08is not something you just
16:09sign on a whim.
16:11How could you do this
16:12without thinking about
16:13how I'd feel?
16:15Why would I think
16:16about your feelings?
16:18Do I need your permission
16:19to get married?
16:21Did you think
16:22about my feelings
16:23when you were kissing
16:24Vanessa on that stage?
16:29Sophie,
16:30this is done.
16:31It's a fact.
16:31I'm not going to fight about it.
16:33But you need to go
16:33file for divorce.
16:35Immediately.
16:35We can wipe the slate clean.
16:37We start over.
16:38We get our license first,
16:39then we plan a real wedding.
16:41Are you actually slow?
16:42Can you not understand
16:44plain English?
16:46My wife is done with you.
16:49She is my legal wife.
16:52If you come near her again,
16:53I will not be responsible
16:54for what happens next.
16:56Who do you think you are?
16:59Sophie doesn't love you.
17:00She never did.
17:01She did this to get back at me.
17:03You actually think
17:04she has feelings for you?
17:06Whether she loved you before
17:07is not my concern.
17:11Right now,
17:12her heart belongs to me.
17:15Only me.
17:17You think you can
17:18take my woman from me?
17:19You'd better be ready
17:19for what comes with that.
17:24You sucker punched me.
17:26I'll destroy you.
17:27I'll have my lawyers
17:28on you by tonight.
17:29You'll be finished
17:30in this city.
17:32Marcus,
17:33what happened to you?
17:35Who did this?
17:40I want him sued.
17:42I want him ruined.
17:45Vanessa pulled him upright.
17:48I told you not
17:50to come after Sophie.
17:51She's still angry.
17:52Nothing you say
17:52is going to land right now.
17:53Come back with me.
17:54Give her a few months
17:55to cool down
17:56and she'll probably
17:56come looking for you
17:57herself.
17:59By the time
18:00a few months pass,
18:01Sophie's gonna be pregnant.
18:04Derek shoved Vanessa aside.
18:07Sophie,
18:08you're really doing
18:09this with him?
18:09He works for a salary.
18:11What can he actually
18:12give you?
18:14You're standing here
18:15looking at these
18:16estates right now.
18:18You think he can
18:18afford this?
18:19Even if he somehow
18:21scrapes it together,
18:22you'll be paying off
18:23a mortgage for the
18:24rest of your lives.
18:25I'll buy you this place.
18:27The whole development.
18:29Just say the word.
18:31Noah smiled.
18:33Bold offer, Derek.
18:34The full lakefront
18:35development.
18:36That's north of
18:37a hundred million dollars.
18:38Can you actually
18:39write that check?
18:41Derek couldn't.
18:44I don't have
18:45a hundred million,
18:46but I've got
18:46a hundred times
18:47more than him.
18:48If you can afford
18:49one bathroom
18:50in this building,
18:51I'll change
18:52my last name
18:53to yours.
18:55Then I guess
18:56you'd better start
18:57going by Noah Caldwell.
18:58Don't make me laugh.
19:00Do you know
19:00who developed
19:01this property?
19:01The Caldwell Group,
19:03obviously.
19:04What, are you about
19:04to tell me
19:05you're the Caldwell heir?
19:06Caldwell?
19:07Is that the Caldwell Group?
19:09Because if that's true,
19:10I'll get on my knees
19:11right now.
19:13Noah smiled.
19:14Remember,
19:15you said that.
19:17Noah called over
19:18the estate manager.
19:19This gentleman
19:20is interested
19:21in buying
19:21the full development.
19:22Please walk him
19:22through the payment process.
19:24Right this way, sir.
19:26Hold on.
19:28Just because you
19:29tell him to take me
19:30somewhere doesn't mean
19:32I go.
19:33How do I know
19:34this isn't some
19:35sales trick?
19:36I'm not buying anything.
19:38I'm not that easy
19:39to con.
19:40Fine.
19:41No pressure.
19:42Our properties
19:43sell themselves.
19:44But,
19:45if you can't afford it,
19:47just say so.
19:48Walking it back
19:48with excuses
19:49in front of everyone
19:51is a lot worse.
19:52I can buy it
19:53or not buy it.
19:54That's entirely
19:55up to me.
19:57Stop trying
19:58to change the subject.
19:59You're the one
20:00who needs to prove
20:01you're the Caldwell heir.
20:03Don't try to flip
20:04this around.
20:05Don't try to flip
20:06this around.
20:07Fair enough.
20:08Noah took out
20:09his phone
20:09and made a call.
20:10Grandpa,
20:12are you free?
20:14There's someone here
20:15from Zenith Tech
20:16who wants to say hello.
20:18He turned the screen
20:19toward Derek.
20:20Sir,
20:21Mr. Caldwell,
20:24I'm Derek Walsh.
20:25I run Zenith Tech.
20:27Yes.
20:29Noah's mentioned you.
20:32You were Sophie's
20:33fiance, weren't you?
20:35Not anymore, Grandpa.
20:37Actually,
20:38I have good news.
20:41Sophie and I
20:42filed yesterday.
20:43She's your
20:44granddaughter-in-law now.
20:49A pause,
20:51then a laugh,
20:52full and warm.
20:53Finally.
20:53I've wanted Sophie
20:54and this family
20:55for years.
20:56I kept waiting
20:56for you to do something
20:57and you never moved.
20:58I nearly lost my mind.
20:59and I was waiting
21:00for the right moment.
21:01Well,
21:03she's mine now.
21:05Wonderful.
21:07Bring her home
21:08for dinner tonight.
21:10Tell the cook
21:11to make everything
21:12she likes.
21:13Done.
21:15Noah hung up.
21:18Derek hadn't moved.
21:20You're actually
21:21the Caldwell heir.
21:23You want to know
21:24how Zenith Tech
21:24landed all those contracts
21:25with the Caldwell Group?
21:27Sophie.
21:28Every single one
21:29of those deals
21:30came through
21:31because of her.
21:31Without that connection,
21:33you wouldn't have even
21:33made the bid list.
21:35Now,
21:36I believe you promised
21:37to get on your knees.
21:38Derek was sweating.
21:39Kneeling meant humiliation.
21:42Not kneeling
21:42meant he'd broken
21:43his word in front of everyone.
21:45And Noah was no longer
21:46someone he could afford
21:48to cross.
21:48He had no movement.
21:49He dropped down
21:50and touched his forehead
21:52to the floor.
21:52I didn't even bother looking.
21:54Oh.
21:55I said,
21:55suddenly remembering.
21:56Come with me
21:57back to the office.
21:58I need to hand in my resignation
22:00and clean out my desk.
22:01Derek's voice cried.
22:03You're quitting
22:04just to get away from me?
22:05I never liked that job.
22:06The only reason
22:07I stayed so long
22:08was because you said
22:09you wanted to see me every day.
22:11I have a finance degree.
22:13I spent eight years
22:14doing admin work for you.
22:15My husband is worth more money
22:17than I could spend
22:18in three lifetimes.
22:19I think I've earned the right
22:20to just go home
22:21and live well.
22:22Haven't I, honey?
22:23Noah put his arm around me
22:25and kissed my tongue.
22:26Everything I have is yours.
22:28Let's go.
22:29Noah drove me to the office.
22:30I wrote my resignation
22:31in about two minutes.
22:33I printed it
22:33and dropped it
22:34on Derek's desk.
22:35I quit.
22:37I'm not approving this.
22:39Approve it or don't.
22:40I'll walk either way.
22:42You can keep this month's picture.
22:43The women from my office
22:44who had filmed me
22:45at the wedding
22:45were craning their necks
22:47from across the floor.
22:48I walked straight over to them.
22:51Can you send me the videos
22:52you took yesterday?
22:53I'd like to have them.
22:55They looked at each other.
22:56I just want the footage.
22:57I'm not here to make trouble.
22:58They hesitated
22:59then sent the files through.
23:01I was almost out the door
23:02when I ran into Derek's mother
23:04and sister on the steps.
23:08Sophie,
23:09you've made your point.
23:11It's time to come home.
23:12His sister and I
23:13haven't slept properly
23:14in two days.
23:15That's because there's nobody
23:17cooking for you anymore.
23:18That's completely different.
23:19She's just his secretary.
23:21You're the daughter-in-law
23:22I chose.
23:23The only one you recognize.
23:25You recognize me
23:26because my family
23:27left me money
23:27and I've been useful to Derek.
23:29Sophie,
23:30we came to find you ourselves
23:31because we care about you.
23:33Don't be ungrateful.
23:36I'm not interested
23:36in that kind of family.
23:38Go find Vanessa.
23:42That night,
23:43a friend forwarded me a link.
23:45Sophie,
23:46someone's spreading rumors
23:48about you online.
23:49I opened the video.
23:50It was posted
23:51from an anonymous account.
23:53The faces were blurred,
23:54but barely.
23:56Anyone who knew us
23:57would recognize me immediately.
23:59The comments were
23:59a wall of filthy.
24:00This bride has absolutely no shame.
24:02She was already rolling around
24:04with some other guy
24:04and she was about to get married.
24:06If I were the groom,
24:06I'd be sick.
24:07She clearly has no self-control.
24:09Her parents must have raised
24:10a real piece of work.
24:11The groom and the secretary
24:12are perfect together.
24:13This woman never deserved
24:14to marry into money.
24:15Mixed in were comments
24:16praising Derek and Vanessa,
24:18wishing them well,
24:19calling them destined
24:20for each other.
24:21I read all of it
24:22and smiled.
24:23I had known Vanessa
24:24would use the image
24:25of me in Noah's clothes
24:26and spin it into something ugly.
24:27I had planned
24:28for exactly that.
24:29I uploaded the footage
24:30the office woman
24:31accepted.
24:32Then I posted my own statement.
24:33Hi, I'm the bride
24:36in that video.
24:37Here's what actually happened.
24:39On the morning
24:40of my own wedding,
24:41my fiancé told me
24:42I couldn't ride
24:43in the bridal car
24:43because his secretary
24:45got carson.
24:46He drove to the venue
24:47with her
24:47while I had to find
24:49my own way.
24:49On the road,
24:50the car ran straight into us.
24:52The driver was
24:53Vanessa's best friend.
24:54She's now in police custody.
24:56While I was stuck
24:57at the scene,
24:58my fiancé used
24:59as a reason
25:00to have Vanessa
25:01walk through
25:02the entire ceremony
25:03in my place
25:04in my dress.
25:07I ended the engagement.
25:11I take full legal responsibility
25:13for everything I've just said.
25:15I will also be filing
25:16a defamation lawsuit
25:17against the person
25:18who posted
25:19the original video.
25:20Every message,
25:21every video
25:21of Derek's proposals,
25:23everything that showed
25:24I had never pressured
25:25anyone into anything.
25:26The comments flipped.
25:28Car sick
25:29and you need
25:29the bridal car?
25:30What's next?
25:30Does she need
25:31the her set of funeral, too?
25:33The groom and the secretary
25:34have clearly been involved
25:35for a long time.
25:36That kiss wasn't a mistake.
25:38His mother and sister
25:40just went along with it!
25:41That whole family
25:42is rotten!
25:43The internet found
25:44Derek and Vanessa's
25:45identities within cars.
25:47The fact that they went online
25:48and slandered her
25:49after everything
25:50they put her through,
25:51these people are vile.
25:52Their company address
25:53was public.
25:54Outraged people
25:55posted everywhere.
25:56Business partners
25:57saw the headlines
25:58and started pulling
25:59out of deals.
26:00The Caldwell Group
26:01terminated its contracts
26:02with Zenith Tech
26:03and made clear
26:04they would not be
26:04working with Derek
26:05or anyone connected
26:07to him going forward.
26:08Within days,
26:09Zenith Tech collapsed.
26:11I filed my lawsuit.
26:13Defamation.
26:14Vanessa's name
26:14on every document.
26:16The next time I saw Derek,
26:18he looked like
26:18a different person.
26:19Hollow eyes,
26:20too thin.
26:21His sister was behind him.
26:23No trace of the confidence
26:24she used to carry everywhere.
26:26Sophie,
26:27I owe you an apology.
26:29I looked into it.
26:30The woman who drove
26:31into your car
26:31was Vanessa's friend.
26:32I was manipulated.
26:34I've let her go.
26:34Came to say I'm sorry.
26:36Properly.
26:37And I'm asking you,
26:38given everything
26:39we meant to each other,
26:40to ask Noah to help me.
26:42Our mom collapsed
26:43when the company went under.
26:45She's in the hospital
26:46right now on oxygen.
26:47She was always fond of you.
26:49Please,
26:49for her sake,
26:51talk to Noah.
26:52We almost became family.
26:54You can't watch us
26:55end up like this.
26:58Sophie,
26:58please.
26:59Why can't I?
27:00You brought this on yourselves.
27:02If you hadn't posted
27:02that slander,
27:03none of this would have
27:04gone public.
27:04You fired the first shoot.
27:06When it ends
27:07is my decision.
27:08Derek's face twisted.
27:09You want mom to die?
27:11Is that it?
27:12She's in a hospital bed
27:13right now.
27:14She can't take
27:15any more of this.
27:16She's not in that bed
27:18because of me.
27:18She's there
27:19because of choices
27:20you made.
27:21You knew what you were doing,
27:22Derek.
27:23You hurt me the way you did
27:24because you were sure
27:25I'd never fight back.
27:27You were wrong.
27:28I'm not the kind of woman
27:29who loses herself for a man.
27:30When you were loyal to me,
27:32I loved you.
27:33You stopped being loyal,
27:34so I stopped loving you.
27:36I only let Vanessa
27:37stand in for the ceremony.
27:39Only.
27:41I took out my phone
27:42and pulled up the photographs
27:43my investigator had sent.
27:45I handed them over.
27:47You were seeing her
27:48the entire time
27:49we were together.
27:50You got her pregnant.
27:51Derek had nothing
27:52left to say.
27:53I'm so sorry, Sophie.
27:55I'm so sorry.
27:56I was wrong,
27:57but I love you.
27:58I've always loved you.
27:59Not her.
28:01Derek!
28:02You make me sick.
28:04I nodded to security.
28:05They escorted him
28:06and his sister out.
28:08His sister was still
28:09calling my name
28:09as they went
28:10through the doors.
28:11Sophie!
28:12Sophie!
28:13I didn't turn around.
28:15Zenith tech
28:16dissolved completely.
28:18Derek was left
28:19carrying significant
28:20personal debt.
28:21Vanessa was found
28:22guilty of defamation
28:23and sentenced to three years.
28:25And on that same day,
28:26I received the best news
28:28I'd had in a long time.
28:30I was pregnant.
28:32The ugliness was behind me now.
28:34The people who had caused it
28:36had found their way
28:36to exactly where
28:37they deserved to be.
28:39All I was thinking about
28:40was the small life
28:42beginning inside me.
28:43They believed
28:43and so on.
28:43What did what they
