Short filmTranscript
00:00Silas' lips crashed against mine, his hands tangled in my hair.
00:04His body pressed me against the wall.
00:07He whispered against my neck.
00:10Suddenly erupted a frantic knocking.
00:12God, Jane, I missed you.
00:12Silas pulled away, irritation flashing across his face.
00:15What the hell is it?
00:17Sir, Miss Delina isn't feeling well. She wants you to come see her.
00:20I'll be right back.
00:22Grabbing his shirt from the floor and rushed out.
00:25Silas!
00:25I'll be right back. I followed him to the doorway.
00:27Silas, seven years into my cohabitation with Silas,
00:31he inherited everything from his dead brother, including his widow, Selena.
00:36Every time Silas finished sleeping with Selena, he'd hold me and whisper reassurances.
00:41Jane, just wait a little longer.
00:43Once Selena's pregnant, we'll have the wedding.
00:46This was the Sterling family's only requirement for his inheritance.
00:50Six months back in New York, Silas visited Selena's room 52 times.
00:54Finally, word came that Selena was pregnant.
00:57But with it came another announcement, Silas and Selena's wedding.
01:01Mommy, is someone getting married?
01:03I stared at the wedding decorations filling the house and pulled my confused son into my arms.
01:09Yes, daddy's marrying the person he loves, so we should move out.
01:13After putting my son to bed, I opened my phone to book tickets back home.
01:17The earliest flight was on February 14th.
01:21Valentine's Day, the seventh anniversary of my cohabitation with Silas.
01:25Fate seemed to have a plan.
01:26My lips twisted into something bitter.
01:29Fine.
01:30What began on this day should end on this day.
01:33Suddenly, I was held, and Silas's gentle voice came from above.
01:37What are you looking at?
01:40I clicked the screen off instantly.
01:42Just jewelry news.
01:44In just six months, Selena's perfume had completely saturated him.
01:48I pushed him away with disgust.
01:50Go take a shower before you talk to me.
01:53Silas sniffed himself.
01:54I'll go now.
01:56I've been neglecting you lately.
01:58That's on me.
02:00I won't go to Selena's room these next few days.
02:02The bathroom door flew open and Silas walked out, dripping, wrapped in a towel.
02:07For a moment, I saw him from seven years ago, climbing to my window, covered in night dew.
02:12Triumphant, like he wanted to show the whole world.
02:15Jane, from today on, you're mine.
02:20For the rest of my life, it's just you and me, forever.
02:23Seeing me stare blankly at him, Silas grinned and pulled me into his arms.
02:27Jane, tonight I'm only with you.
02:29I'm not going anywhere.
02:31My eyes dropped with something like disappointment.
02:35The man before me was no longer that man.
02:37A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts.
02:40Sir, Miss Selena isn't feeling well.
02:42She wants you to come see her.
02:46Silas's irritation turned to panic as he hurriedly dressed and rushed out.
02:51What's wrong? Did you call the family doctor?
02:54A few steps out, he realized something was off.
02:58He turned back, apologetically, looking at me leaning against the doorframe.
03:03Selina's not well. I need to check on her.
03:05My brother's gone. I'm all she has.
03:08I'll be right back, Jane. You've always been understanding.
03:11Silas frowned, was about to offer more reassurance, but froze at the sudden weight on his shoulders.
03:17I draped a coat over him.
03:19It's cold at night. Wear more before you go.
03:22Silas gripped the coat, his eyes unreadable.
03:25Jane, you...
03:26Silas didn't come back all night.
03:29I reached across the bed, only touched cold sheets.
03:32The knocking outside grew louder and louder.
03:34I opened the door to find a sterling servant, wearing open contempt.
03:40The old lady says you're to bring the child to the sterling estate?
03:46When we reached the main hall of the estate, I found the entire sterling clan assembled.
03:52Silas stood beside Selina supporting her, his eyes full of tenderness.
03:58Selina's finally pregnant.
04:00With all the family elders here today, it's time to honor the promise from six months ago.
04:06The clan's most respected elder stepped forward.
04:08I hereby declare Simus Straling as the new head of the Straling family.
04:14Now that the Stralings have an heir, pick a date for the wedding.
04:18I looked up to find everyone staring at Selina, even Silas.
04:22He openly placed his hand on Selina's stomach, his expression tender.
04:27I'm going to be a father.
04:29Not a father again, but a father.
04:32Something sour twisted in my chest. I clenched my fists.
04:36Mommy, it hurt.
04:41I quickly released him. His little hand was bright red.
04:44Mommy, sorry. Let Mommy blow on it.
04:48Noah's words drew every eye in the room.
04:51The elder frowned.
04:53If word gets out that the sterling heir had a child out of wedlock, our reputation is ruined.
04:58Just some bastard from a loose wood.
05:01Silas' mother glared at me with a cold snort.
05:04From now on, tell everyone this child is from a distant sterling relative being raised here.
05:12Silas released his arm from around Selina.
05:14Mom, that's too far.
05:16He started toward me, but Selina subtly pulled him back.
05:19I took Noah's hand and walked up to Silas' mother.
05:23As you wish. From now on, Noah won't be Silas' son anymore.
05:27I crouched down in front of Noah, my eyes burning with unshed tears.
05:31Baby, you can't call him daddy anymore. You have to call him uncle, okay?
05:37Silas froze. He knew Noah was the only reason I had stayed this long.
05:40I quickly led Noah outside, but Selina called out.
05:45Jane! Jane!
05:46I heard Cashman Saffran is best for pregnancy.
05:49Silas searched for days but couldn't find any.
05:51Imagine my surprise when I saw you had a peace.
05:55Would you be willing to part with it?
05:57Silas, is this what you want too?
05:59When Selina tilted her head back, the trail of hickeys exposed.
06:03My heart felt like needles rolling over it.
06:05Fine. Dense. Endless pain.
06:12This cashmere sapphire pendant was the token of love between Silas and me.
06:17We'd both fallen for it at the same jewelry exhibition.
06:20The night he committed to me, he put the cashmere sapphire around my neck.
06:24He'd promised me forever.
06:26I knew Selina wanted it.
06:28She'd asked Silas for it more than once.
06:30He'd refused.
06:31But this time, he looked away.
06:33Maybe you could...
06:38Fine.
06:38I laughed bitterly and ripped the cashmere sapphire from my neck, shoving it into Selina's hand.
06:44Watching Selina put it on with delight, I offered praise.
06:48It suits you perfectly.
06:49Then, under Silas' shocked gaze, I carried Noah out.
06:54Back at the villa, Noah was still crying.
06:57I forced down the heartache and gripped his small hand.
07:00Noah, if Mommy wanted to leave this place, would you come with me?
07:06Mommy, can't we stay?
07:11But Noah, Daddy, and Grandma don't want us here.
07:13Will you call him uncle forever?
07:15I held back my tears and looked at Noah gently.
07:17Noah clutched the Lego set tighter, Silas' birthday gift from last year.
07:21Mommy, I want one more birthday with Daddy. Can I?
07:25Noah stubbornly refused to change how he addressed him.
07:27I closed my eyes and pulled him into my arms.
07:30I nodded.
07:31Okay.
07:34February 12th was Noah's birthday.
07:36I'd reminded Silas two days early so he could prepare.
07:39This might be the last birthday they would share.
07:41I wanted Noah to get his wish.
07:44On his birthday, Noah woke early.
07:46He put on his little suit.
07:47His voice shook with nerves.
07:50Mommy, Daddy will come to my party, right?
07:53He will.
07:57I texted Silas.
08:00It's your son's birthday today.
08:02Where are you?
08:06Noah's head dropped.
08:07Noah's fingers gripped the cake box ribbon.
08:10Daddy's not coming, is he?
08:12After a long silence, he tried to comfort himself.
08:15It's okay.
08:16Uncle's busy.
08:17We shouldn't bother him.
08:20Mommy, let's eat the cake.
08:22This was the first time Noah called Silas uncle.
08:25He seemed to be accepting it.
08:27That his father didn't care about him.
08:29But his reddening eyes gave away his pain.
08:31I grabbed my phone and opened Silas' chat.
08:34You don't even have time for your son's birthday?
08:37You like Selena that much.
08:39You can't bear to leave her side?
08:41My finger hovered over send.
08:43I couldn't press it.
08:44Then a new message appeared.
08:46Come to the Sterling Estate.
08:48Joy flooded through me.
08:49I shoved the phone in Noah's face.
08:51Noah, look! Daddy remembers!
08:53Noah's head shot up.
08:55A brilliant smile broke across his face.
08:57Daddy must have lots of presents for me!
08:59Mommy, let's go!
09:03Noah chattered the whole way.
09:05He guessed what gifts Daddy had prepared.
09:07But when we reached the Sterling Estate,
09:09the garden full of roses made my chest tighten.
09:13This wasn't decoration for a child's birthday.
09:16Noah didn't notice.
09:17He excitedly pulled me inside.
09:19I could only follow him anxiously.
09:22Dread settled in my gut.
09:23Silas, don't do something we can't run to.
09:26In the banquet hall, Noah saw Silas standing by a giant cake.
09:30Daddy!
09:31He crashed into Silas' arms.
09:34What are you doing here?
09:36My eyes filled with disappointment.
09:38Behind us, the socialites whispered.
09:41Isn't this Simus and Selina's engagement party?
09:44What's with this kid calling him Dad?
09:46Didn't they say Simus wasn't married?
09:48Must be his bastard.
09:50Silas' face went iron.
09:52He shoved Noah away hard.
09:53What did you call me?
09:56Noah stumbled back several steps and fell to the ground.
09:59He froze, caught between tears and shock.
10:02Uncle.
10:03Finally, he whispered timidly.
10:05He looked at the cake in the center of the hall.
10:08A smile returned to his face.
10:10Uncle, are you here for my birthday?
10:12Can I cut the cake with you?
10:14Noah had waited days for this party.
10:16In his mind, as long as he could celebrate with Silas, nothing else mattered.
10:20Even calling him Uncle was fine.
10:23But delicate hands gripped Silas' hand on the cake knife.
10:26No.
10:27This kind of party isn't for distant relatives like you.
10:30Right, Simus?
10:32Rage flared in my chest.
10:34Now I understood everything.
10:36That text was from Selina.
10:38Her goal was simple.
10:39Humiliate us publicly.
10:41Make Noah's bastard status official.
10:44I stepped in front of Noah.
10:46My voice came out cold.
10:48Simus, is that true?
10:49Silas stood frozen.
10:51When our eyes met, guilt flashed across his face.
10:54Under everyone's stares, he spoke.
10:57He's from a distant Sterling branch.
10:59Behind him, Selina smiled with triumph.
11:02The whispers around us grew louder.
11:05How to ruin their big day.
11:06Exactly.
11:08Low-class relatives.
11:09No manners.
11:11Noah went pale under the chorus of voices.
11:14His eyes turned red.
11:15My fury hit a breaking point.
11:17I walked forward and violently flipped the towering table.
11:21Big day, huh?
11:22Let me make everyone really happy.
11:24The socialites stood in stunned silence.
11:27Silas and Selina turned pale with rage.
11:29Only Noah looked up at me like I was a heroine.
11:31Mommy, you're so cool.
11:34I scooped Noah up and looked straight at Silas.
11:36Mr. Sterling, I apologize.
11:38Noah is only my child.
11:39He has nothing to do with the Sterlings.
11:42We're leaving now.
11:44The next second, bodyguards slammed me to the ground.
11:48Selina's voice hissed from above.
11:49You think the Sterling Estate is somewhere you can waltz in and out of?
11:56Beat her.
11:57Then throw her out.
11:58This rained down on me like hail.
11:59My bones creaked and cracked under the blows.
12:02Noah crawled toward me, wailing.
12:04I kept shoving him away with gritted teeth.
12:07Through the crowd, I saw Silas.
12:09Reluctance flickered on his face.
12:10Then Selina yanked him back again.
12:12I endured the blows.
12:13Each punch shattered another memory.
12:16Silas seven years ago, climbing my window, promising forever.
12:19Silas six years ago, called a kept man but laughing anyway.
12:22Silas five years ago, holding Noah and saying his life was complete.
12:26All of it crumbled to ash in my mind.
12:28Noah's screams grew desperate.
12:30He dropped to his knees before Silas.
12:31Mr. Sterling, we were wrong.
12:34Sorry.
12:35Please let mommy go.
12:37Both Silas and I looked up in disbelief.
12:39Silas frowned.
12:40Stop!
12:41He stared at Noah, stunned.
12:44What did you say?
12:45The kneeling child seemed to age in an instant.
12:47His eyes went red as he looked at his father.
12:49Mr. Sterling, we're not welcome here.
12:51Mommy and I are leaving now.
12:53Thank you for having us today.
12:54Noah helped me to my feet.
12:56I limped after him toward the exit.
12:58My heart felt crushed in someone's fist.
13:02Silas didn't come home.
13:03He only sent two texts.
13:05Something came up.
13:06I'll apologize in person in a few days.
13:08Don't be mad. Be good.
13:10I knew his something meant his wedding on Valentine's Day.
13:12I packed everything we'd brought six months ago.
13:15I burned every trace of us in the villa.
13:17One bonfire. Gone.
13:19This relationship was a mistake from start to finish.
13:22Now it was time to wake up.
13:23We boarded the plane home.
13:24Before turning off my phone, I sent Silas one final text.
13:28Noah and I are gone.
13:29Have a good life.
13:30Let's never meet again.
13:32At that exact moment, Silas was exchanging rings with Selena.
13:35His chest seized with sudden pain.
13:37He saw the message, threw the ring down, and stumbled out of the hotel.
13:41To the airport!
13:42As Silas tried to call me, but only heard the cold busy tone.
13:45The number you dialed is busy.
13:46His frown deepened.
13:47He barked at the driver.
13:48Can't you go faster? I can afford your damn traffic tickets!
13:52The driver wiped sweat from his forehead.
13:54Sir, it's not that I don't want to. It's Valentine's Day. The streets are packed.
13:57Today is... Valentine's Day?
13:59Silas repeated it in a daze.
14:01Today was our cohabitation anniversary.
14:03He'd forgotten. The driver kept honking dutifully.
14:06But the line of cars refused to dodge.
14:08Silas rubbed his face. Something hardened in his expression.
14:11Open the door.
14:12I'll run.
14:16The two miles felt like an eternity.
14:19When Silas reached the airport, his mouth tasted like iron.
14:23He stared blankly at the airport worker.
14:25Like he couldn't understand her words.
14:28The passengers you're looking for boarded over an hour ago.
14:32He looked at the empty waiting area.
14:33Something was missing from his chest.
14:35Like someone who'd always been there had suddenly vanished.
14:38He let out a short, hysterical laugh.
14:41How could that be?
14:43How could Jane ever leave me?
14:45She couldn't bear to...
14:47The phone rang.
14:48It was Selina.
14:50Silas, where did you go?
14:52Are you calling on this wedding?
14:53Her voice, once his favorite, came out shrill and hysterical.
14:57Like she'd fall apart without him.
14:59Nothing like Jane.
15:00Jane had her own life.
15:02She didn't need to lean on anyone.
15:04Silas pressed his tongue against his cheek.
15:06For the first time, Silas found Selina's weakness repulsive.
15:10Yeah, wedding's off.
15:13At the office, Silas collapsed on the couch.
15:16He scrolled through our old messages.
15:18The past six months were pathetically sparse.
15:20Mostly just me asking him, did he eat on time?
15:23Was he sleeping well?
15:25And every time he slept in Selina's room,
15:27the next day I wouldn't reply at all.
15:30Like that was my way of venting anger.
15:32The messages grew fewer.
15:34Until a week ago, I stopped asking about his life completely.
15:38He sat up, his brow furrowed tight.
15:41The past week's messages fit on one screen.
15:43Only three total.
15:45The first two were from two days ago.
15:47Me asking if he'd come to Noah's birthday.
15:49He vaguely remembered me mentioning it.
15:52But he'd forgotten.
15:53He thought Noah was just acting out for attention.
15:55The last message was the goodbye.
15:58Noah and I are gone.
15:59Have a good life.
16:00Let's never meet again.
16:02With a loud bang, Silas kicked his chair against the wall.
16:05His fingers flew across the screen.
16:11Jane, are you insane?
16:12You think you'll have a good life without me?
16:14Take you re-back.
16:15If you come back now, I'll reluctantly back.
16:18I didn't marry Selina.
16:20You're still my only wife.
16:22Silas waited all night, restless.
16:24No reply came.
16:26Every call went to the same recording.
16:28The number you dialed is busy.
16:30Silas couldn't wait anymore.
16:32He drove to the villa.
16:34The streets at dawn were silent.
16:35Only a corner diner had its lights on.
16:38Inside, a couple worked the counter together.
16:40One flipped pancakes.
16:42One poured coffee.
16:43They moved in perfect sync.
16:45Steam rose from the griddle between them.
16:47Silas suddenly remembered.
16:48Back home, we'd had moments like that too.
16:51Back then, we opened a small jewelry shop.
16:54I taught him everything.
16:55I handled sales.
16:57He collected payment.
16:58We were exhausted but happy.
17:00Some people called him a kept man.
17:02He didn't care at all.
17:05I spend my wife's money, what's it to you?
17:07Silas gripped the steering wheel.
17:09His hands shook slightly, but he kept reassuring himself.
17:12She must be really angry this time.
17:16But if I humble myself, it should be fine.
17:18The villa came into his view.
17:20A warm yellow light glowed from inside.
17:23His whole body relaxed.
17:24The car stopped at the villa entrance.
17:27Silas stepped out and straightened his suit.
17:29His face went carefully blank.
17:31I'd apologize, but she needed to learn her lesson too.
17:35He pushed open the door, waiting smugly for me to rush into his arms.
17:41But the person who lifted her head was Selena.
17:44Tears welled in her eyes.
17:45Where did you go?
17:47I thought you left me.
17:49Silas's brow furrowed.
17:51He'd never found Selena this grating before.
17:53He pushed her aside and ran upstairs.
17:57But I wasn't upstairs.
17:59More than that.
18:00Everything related to me was gone.
18:02The closet was half empty.
18:04The colorful dresses and playful children's clothes.
18:06All gone.
18:07The bedroom wall where our photo hung was now just blank white space.
18:11The hundred love letters I had treasured for seven years.
18:14Only a blackened metal box remained.
18:17And a pile of ash inside.
18:19He stared at the ash in a daze.
18:21Then it hit him.
18:22How much effort he'd spent chasing me all those years ago.
18:25He'd written over a hundred letters before I even let him take me out.
18:29He'd climbed my windows for half a year before I finally let him inside.
18:34Silas covered his face.
18:35He collapsed to the floor, powerless.
18:38Footsteps sounded at the door.
18:40Silas shot upright.
18:41His heart pounded wildly.
18:43He hoped desperately, prayed, that I would walk through that door.
18:48But it was Selina.
18:53Silas.
18:53Silas' face went dark, all tenderness gone.
18:56He looked at her sideways.
18:58What?
18:59Selina flinched.
19:00But she pressed on.
19:02Since we're supposed to be married and Jane's not coming back, why don't we move into Selina's room?
19:07Silas let out a disgusted laugh.
19:09Are you that desperate?
19:11That pathetic?
19:12His voice was ice.
19:14Selina was stunned.
19:15Silas.
19:16What did you say?
19:17Don't understand?
19:18Silas grabbed Selina by the throat.
19:20He slammed her against the wall.
19:21You're just my brother's sloppy seconds.
19:23What makes you think I'd want you?
19:27I never planned to marry you.
19:29Selina struggled, her face twisting.
19:31Why?
19:33Silas' smile turned cruel.
19:34You really have no self-awareness at all.
19:36I only agreed to marry you for revenge.
19:39You dumped me for power and status, remember?
19:41Now the show's over.
19:43You're useless.
19:45He ripped the cashmere sapphire from Selina's neck in one violent motion.
19:50Ignoring her screams of pain, he called his assistant.
19:53Find out where Jane went.
19:55And book me on the earliest flight there.
19:59Meanwhile, on the plane heading home,
20:02Passengers around us were gossiping about Silas Sterling's cancelled wedding.
20:06I heard Silas ran out on his wedding.
20:08Silas ran from our wedding?
20:10Isn't this what he always dreamed of?
20:12I heard Silas ran because of his ex.
20:16Isn't his ex Selina?
20:17Everyone knows she was his first love.
20:19I heard he went away years ago because she broke his heart.
20:21That's old news.
20:23He had another girlfriend back there.
20:24They say he even has a son.
20:26I listened with cold amusement.
20:28Beside me, Noah pulled off his eye mask.
20:31His small voice spoke up.
20:33Mommy, are they talking about Mr. Sterling?
20:35You heard wrong.
20:36Sleep.
20:37Mommy's here.
20:40Along the way, neighbors greeted me.
20:42Like I'd never left at all.
20:44Mom saw me and burst into tears.
20:46She pulled me inside.
20:47That night, the whole family gathered around the table.
20:50We ate together.
20:51Noah hadn't felt home like this in so long.
20:54He squeezed my hand.
20:55Mommy, I like it here.
20:57Back at the Sterling's, Silas's mother had been ruthless with us.
21:01During their meals, we stood and served.
21:04During our meals, we endured constant criticism.
21:07I kissed my son's soft cheek.
21:09We'll stay here forever.
21:11Never go back.
21:12Noah nodded.
21:14Finally, some innocence returned to his face.
21:16Just then, a neighbor rushed in.
21:19Jane, you need to come quick.
21:21That man you lived with is making a scene at the entrance.
21:26Before I reached it, I heard my friends mocking voices from far off.
21:30You're the man Jane picked?
21:31Looks like you'd break if the wind blew.
21:35Right?
21:35My 12-year-old nephew's stronger than him.
21:38Bet he can't even change a tire.
21:40Or chop wood.
21:42City boys are useless out here.
21:43I'm not here to argue with you.
21:45Go get Jane.
21:46I tapped a friend's shoulder and they moved aside from me.
21:49Why are you here?
21:51I said we shouldn't meet again.
21:53I hadn't expected to see Silas looking like this.
21:56His face was haggard.
21:57Dark circles ringed his eyes.
21:59Like he hadn't slept in days.
22:01Nothing like the polished businessman image he used to maintain.
22:05Silas walked up to me.
22:06His first words were a reprimand.
22:08You spend your time with these jerks?
22:10No wonder you ignored my calls for days.
22:12They corrupted you.
22:13I can't let you and Noah stay here.
22:16Come back with me.
22:17He reached to grab me.
22:19But my friends surrounded me.
22:20He slammed iron rods into the ground.
22:22Get your hands off her!
22:23Back up!
22:26I looked at him over a neighbor's shoulder.
22:29You came all this way just to say that?
22:33Silas shook his head.
22:34After a long pause, he forced the words out.
22:37I came to apologize.
22:40Jane, I was wrong.
22:41I love you!
22:42I love you!
22:43Come back!
22:43Let's make this work!
22:44He looked at me with total confidence.
22:45He was.
22:47Certain I'd forgive him.
22:48Certain I'd go with him.
22:49The absurdity of it made me laugh.
22:51You don't actually think I'd go back with you, do you?
22:55I nearly choked on my laughter.
22:57When I looked at him again, my eyes were ice.
23:00Silas, you make me sick.
23:02Silas froze.
23:03His eyes went wide with disbelief.
23:05What did you say?
23:06I said, Silas, you make me sick!
23:09Silas flushed with anger and lunged toward me.
23:11My friends pushed him back.
23:13I already apologized! What more do you want?
23:18You used to always-
23:19I stepped out from behind my friends and slapped him hard across the face.
23:22That look of shock crossed his face again.
23:25I sneered.
23:26I used to what?
23:27Love you that much?
23:28Forgive you for everything?
23:30Yes.
23:30I did love you once.
23:32Enough to leave home for New York with you.
23:34Enough to keep loving you while watching you with Selena.
23:37But Silas' love isn't infinite.
23:39You used it all up!
23:40I tilted my head, mocking him.
23:42What made you think you could hurt me over and over just because I loved you?
23:47What made you think that after hurting me, one useless I love you would bring me running back?
23:52And what makes you think that after killing my love bit by bit, I still love you?
23:57Silas stumbled backward with each word.
24:00Finally, he collapsed to the ground.
24:01He realized it then. The love in my eyes had died.
24:04He began to sob, repeating his apology.
24:07I'm sorry.
24:09I'm sorry.
24:11Jane, I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
24:15I watched tears fill his eyes.
24:17I felt nothing.
24:18My voice came out flat as I spoke the most final words.
24:21Don't apologize to me.
24:23Seeing you now just makes me sick.
24:26Simus, the girl who loved you is dead.
24:28She died during those 52 nights you spent with Selena.
24:31I won't forgive you for her. You should live with this guilt for the rest of your life.
24:35Tears streamed down Silas's pale face.
24:38His lips moved several times.
24:40No words came out.
24:42Finally, he stood up shakily.
24:44Then... Noah!
24:45Noah is my child.
24:47He takes my last name. His name is Noah Reed.
24:50One day, he'll have a real father.
24:53But none of that concerns you anymore.
24:56Silas left that day.
24:57He looked like he'd aged several years.
24:59Noah learned what happened from me.
25:01I asked him.
25:03Are you upset mommy didn't let you see him one last time?
25:06Noah shook his head.
25:07That unnatural maturity surfaced again.
25:10Mr. Sterling isn't father material.
25:13So I don't regret it.
25:15I taught my friends the jewelry trade the way I'd once taught Silas.
25:19Within a few years, our jewelry became known for quality and honesty.
25:22People came from everywhere to buy from us.
25:24I heard about Silas again on the news.
25:27After returning to New York, he'd refused to marry Selena.
25:31He'd even mutilated himself in protest.
25:33It didn't work.
25:35It only made Selena's unborn child more valuable.
25:38The family elders forced the marriage through.
25:41Silas's mother, who thought she was so smart, had met her match.
25:45Selena and her mother-in-law turned the Sterling estate into a war zone.
25:48It became the biggest joke in NYC high society.
25:52And Silas resented being forced to marry Selena.
25:55One day, he pushed her down the stairs.
26:00Selena lost the baby.
26:01She lost her mind completely.
26:03Without the child, without Silas's affection, she had nothing left to hope for.
26:08So she drove a knife into Silas's heart.
26:10Then she killed herself beside his body.
26:12Before dying, she clutched his cold hand.
26:15Now you're mine forever.
26:21The news shocked the city, and the Sterling reputation crashed.
26:25But worse than reputation was the question of succession.
26:28Silas's mother and the family elders visited repeatedly.
26:32They wanted to take Noah back for grooming.
26:34I turned them away every time.
26:36Finally, desperate, they chose a child from the distant Sterling branch they'd always looked down on.
26:41But none of that mattered to me or Noah.
26:43But none of that mattered to me or Noah.
26:43It was just a whole story over there.
26:44She was calling her mother.
26:44Too soon after a woman was born.
26:45The loss was the same.
26:45The most part of her, she could hear about her.
26:45The best part of her now is that she was born.
26:45And the last part of it.
