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