Short filmTranscript
00:02In my previous life, I was adopted by the struggling Rivers family, while my sister
00:08Abby went to the Old Money Sterlings. However, Abby got cut off by the Sterlings in five years,
00:13and was soon found dead on the street. Me? I clawed my way to a full scholarship at Stavison
00:19High School, got into Wharton together with my foster brother Caleb Rivers, and after graduation
00:24built a fintech empire with our bare hands. Then, we had two beautiful kids and the happy
00:29life continued. This time around, when everything went back to the very beginning, the adoption
00:34day, Abby made the opposite choice. She ran toward the Rivers family, which was my family
00:39from our previous life. Bro. Anna, this time, you will have the Old Money suffering. That
00:46place eats people alive. I couldn't stand another second. I looked at Caleb Rivers, my husband
00:51from the previous life, expecting him to say something, only to find him pull Abby behind
00:56and shield her from my sight. His gaze turned ice cold. Stay away from my sister. Eventually,
01:02under her victorious stare, I walked toward the black Cadillac Escalade ESV. Abby's words
01:07told me everything I needed to know. The second time life chants, she had it just like I did.
01:12Reading her expression, I understood exactly what she thought she'd won. The Sterlings hadn't
01:17sent anyone except a chauffeur. Get in, miss. Crisp uniform, white gloves. Same as last life,
01:23when the director of St. Agnes Children's Home let us choose. Abby moved first. Back then,
01:29she'd been so arrogant then too. I can't live poor, Anna. You can have that struggle.
01:34She went to the Sterlings chauffeur. Got her Upper East Side mansion life, but her smile faded a little
01:39more each day. This time, she swapped the choice, and I was the one walking to the escalade. The
01:45chauffeur briefed me on house rules for the Sterling estate as we drove. Did you get all that?
01:49Yes, sir. We arrived quickly. I followed the chauffeur through. A Georgian revival mansion.
01:55That looked like a palace. Mrs. Sterling, she's here. A beautiful lady looked up from her earl grey
02:00in the sunroom. She looked me over, waved me closer. You. What's your name? Anna. Anna. The name
02:07the St. Agnes director gave me, hoping my life would be filled with grace and favor. Good. From now on,
02:13you're Anna Sterling. Albert, take her up. Yes, ma'am. I followed the house manager, Albert,
02:21step by step. Mahogany banisters, Calicata marble floors, luxury everywhere. I'd earned all of this
02:27myself in my previous life. Nothing here impressed me. Albert glanced back, something like surprise
02:33flickering across his face. He opened a door. A massive princess suite lay beyond. Miss, this is
02:39your room from now on. Rest a while. I'll return later. I entered, studying my surroundings. Excellent
02:45taste. The Sterling spared no expense for their adopted daughter. Old money refinement everywhere.
02:51Fret linens. Lalite crystal. A Monet sketch on the wall that most people would miss. A wave of
02:56exhilaration crashed through me. Last life. Without powerful family backing, I'd built a successful life
03:02with my own two hands. This life. With the Sterling name behind me, I'd forge a path entirely my own.
03:08While I was pondering, shouts erupted behind me and the door suddenly burst open.
03:18Hey country bumper, get my ball. If I remembered correctly, this was Ethan Sterling, the Sterling's
03:24only son. Street racing and base jumping lover. Classic trust fund kid. Couldn't care less about
03:30the family private equity firm. Last life. He'd crashed during an illegal street race at Wild Track,
03:35resulting in compression injuries to his lower body. After that, with no way escaping from being
03:41paralyzed for life, his temper turned explosive. Yo, you spacing out? You deaf or something? I snapped
03:47back, picked up the basketball, handed it over. Remembering the chauffeur's advice, I called out
03:52lightly. Bro, here you go. Pretty good at sucking up. You think that's gonna get you a piece of Sterling
03:57trust? He scoffed and walked out. The next few days, I barely saw Mrs. Sterling. Ethan was even
04:05more elusive. Albert showed me around the mansion. Massive place. When the tour finished, he handed me
04:11a schedule. This is your curriculum from tomorrow. One-on-one tutoring in corporate finance, investment
04:16strategy, and estate management. Mrs. Sterling arranged everything. Study hard, and there'll be
04:22unexpected benefits. Can you handle it? I'd learned all of this when I started my company last life.
04:29Getting it at 15, I couldn't be happier. Absolutely. To keep me from falling behind in middle school,
04:35Mrs. Sterling hired a tutor for that too. Now that I'd already mastered everything last life,
04:40this would be just child's play. Within a year, I'd absorbed it all and started applying it.
04:45This kid is amazing. Not only has she mastered all the middle and high school corculum,
04:51but she's actually absorbing those sophisticated corporate finance courses. At this rate,
04:57she won't even need high school. She could go straight to a gap year program abroad. But Mrs. Sterling
05:03had other plans. She wanted me to accompany Ethan through Hawthorne Preparatory Academy, then apply
05:09to Ivy's or European prestigious together. For mutual support, she would euphemize it.
05:14Come here. She took my hand, sat me down, and handed me an acceptance letter. Ethan can't get his grades
05:20up. I need you help him. The bar is low. Just get him to pass. Once you graduate from Hawthorne,
05:27I'll send you both to Ivy's or abroad. How's that? I didn't hesitate and sealed the deal.
05:31Thank you, mom. Good girl. As a reward, Mrs. Sterling gave me an Amex black card.
05:37For my one day hanging out, the chauffeur dropped me in bustling. Fifth Avenue and I stepped out alone.
05:43Abby, standing in the blazing sun, handing out flyers.
05:49The rivers were broke. Barely scraping by. So that her working made no surprise for me. After all,
05:55I'd done the same in my previous life. Summer breaks. Three jobs daily. Dunkin' Donuts
06:01morning shift. Target stocking. Uber eats nights. While keeping up with schoolwork. Plus endless chores
06:07for my foster parents. They claimed to treat us equally. They never made Caleb lift a finger for
06:12the labor. I found out later that the rivers adopted me not because they wanted a daughter,
06:17but because they wanted free labor. More importantly, foster care stipend plus child tax credit
06:23would suffice the broke family a decent income. Hi, would you like to check it out? A flyer thrust
06:28toward me. Abby's voice died when she looked up. Anna? Noticing my low-row pinna cashmere sweater
06:39and my well-maintained skin. Jealousy flashed in her face, but smile replaced it very soon.
06:44You're living the good life now, huh? But don't blame I didn't warn you. The Sterlings are way
06:48more twisted than you think. Mrs. Sterling, she's a horrible dragon lady. You'll find out soon enough.
06:55Oh, the rivers are so good to me. I'm living a fulfilling life. Caleb even tutors me in math.
07:01Oh, and we got into Hawthorne Prep on full scholarship this year.
07:04Hawthorne Prep. The same acceptance letter Mrs. Sterling just gave me. Those admitted were legacy
07:10kids and donor families, mostly. Of course, there were some exceptional vacancies for merit
07:16scholarship students. In my previous life, Caleb and I were the exceptional admits. Our future is
07:21only going up, and you? You're gonna be cut off by the Sterling and end up dead in the street.
07:26So certain she was. Abby. My lips parted to respond when a male voice interrupted.
07:32Bags in hand, I went back to the Sterlings. In fact, none of the bags was for me, and most
07:37were for Mrs. Sterling and Ethan. Yo, you've been here, what, five minutes? Already shopping
07:42on our dime? You think Sterling money is yours? Ethan! She's your sister. She's no sister of
07:48mine. I don't have some trailer park sister. I'd be embarrassed to be seen with her. Ethan
07:53and I never got along, so I didn't go looking for trouble to confront. Mom, this is for
07:59you. Oh, it's beautiful. I hope you like it. Please, you think some gifts buy loyalty?
08:06Who do you think? Bro, this is for you. I heard mom said you're into street racing.
08:13Saw this at the mall and thought of you. Soon, it was the first day of school. I'd planned
08:19to call Uber, but when I stepped outside, I find the Sterling car still waiting. It was
08:25waiting for me. Bro! Who are you calling bro? Told you I'm not your bro. Hurry up, you're
08:30wasting my time. My time is valuable. Oh, okay. Who eats breakfast? Mom said, one for each.
08:37Cool boy outside. Good boy indeed, apparently. Listen up. At school, you don't know me. We
08:44are not related. Got it? Or else, I'll make you regret it. Miss, please don't mind this.
08:49Master Ethan just acts like this, but he never means harm. I'm fine. What a coincidence.
08:56Immediately when I got off, I saw two familiar figures at the school gate. Oh my god, isn't
09:01that the valedictorian from Jefferson Middle? I heard he's a national merit scholarship winner.
09:06And his sister too. She's in the top percentile. By placement test scores, I landed in AP track.
09:13Coincidentally, the same homeroom as Caleb and Abby. Ethan got dumped in the lowest standard
09:18track class. What a coincidence, sis. Didn't expect us to be in the same class. Then again,
09:23the Sterlings have enough pull to get anyone in. Unlike Caleb and me, we had to grind for
09:27our scores. Oh, where's that useless Sterling son? I knowing Mrs. Sterling, she must have bought
09:32his way in too. Told you to stay away from her. Bro, Anna's not a bad person. How do you
09:37know she's
09:37not? With the school packed schedule all day, I had no time for their drama time. Pulled out
09:44investments theory. I threw myself into learning. Class ended. Ethan and I had agreed to meet at the
09:50school gate. Going home together, he'd refused initially. However, his mother Mrs. Sterling
09:56forced it. Days passed. He still looked reluctant, but started bringing me food from the campus food
10:01trucks. Seeing a cupcake from a local bakery appeared in front of me. I froze. I see other
10:07girls in class eating these. You don't like it? Like it? I love it. The next weekdays, there were
10:13different snacks daily. Philly cheesesteak, acai bowl, Korean corn dog. He was working through
10:18every food truck near campus. A semester passed and our relationship improved significantly.
10:24That day, I rushed to the school gate as usual, full of anticipation. No sign of him. I searched the
10:31entire campus, only to hear the voices reach. Yo, you heard? Ethan Sterling agreed to a race up at
10:37Wild Track. For real? Yeah. It should be starting right about now. My heart dropped as I remembered.
10:44In my previous life, Ethan got goaded into accepting a street racing challenge where his
10:49Mustang GT got sabotaged. At the complex canyon terrain, the crash was catastrophic. No timely
10:55rescue in Ethan was rendered paralyzed for life. No, it must not happen this time. I ran for Wild Track
11:02Canyon like a madwoman. When I arrived, the race had already started. Crowds everywhere. Screams and
11:10cheers deafening. Modified cars whipped past, kicking up dust. Then, a massive crash. The red Mustang GT
11:18lost control right in front of me, slamming into the guardrail. The crowd scattered like birds.
11:25Bro! I rushed forward, almost reached him. The very moment I almost pulled him out. A force grabbed
11:32me from behind and threw me down. That's your brother? Call 911! My brother's dying! I looked at
11:40Ethan, crushed in the driver's seat. Barely any space to survive. Your brother dissed me. You think I'm
11:48gonna let you save him? Keep dreaming. A massive hand slapped my face back and forth, mockingly.
11:54I shoved him off. Slapped him hard. Screamed.
12:00This is attempted murder! This is a felony! I won't let you get away with this!
12:05Trying to intimidate them, I fumbled for my iPhone. Phone snatched. Thrown away. A brutal slap sent me
12:14sprawling. Little girl, who do you think you are talking to?
12:20A foot pressed into my face. Agony exploded. Through the haze, I saw a familiar figure. Caleb.
12:28Bro, help me!
12:30Caleb started towards me. Then, Abby grabbed his arm. Bro, what are you looking at? Let's not get
12:35involved. Those guys are bad news. I watched Caleb's expression shift from struggle to compliance.
12:39He looked at me deeply. Finally turned and left. The man pulled a tire iron from his car.
12:53Nobody's ever slapped me. Today, you'll learn the price of that slap. He raised the iron,
12:58brought it down. I squeezed my eyes shut at impact. A grunt sounded beside me. I snapped my eyes open.
13:05Ethan shielded me. Blood dripped from his mouth. Splashed onto my face. Panic seized my heart.
13:11Bro, bro! Ethan, don't scare me! I watched Ethan collapse before me. Heart dropping.
13:20Bro, don't scare me! Wake up!
13:23So noisy!
13:24The man grabbed my hair, yanked me up.
13:26Keep screaming. I'll sew your mouth shut and make you mute for life!
13:31Urgency overwhelmed fear. I grabbed his hand.
13:35This is attempted murder. I've already called 911. You better let us go now or else.
13:41Neck seized. Choking. No air. I couldn't speak.
13:45911? You think that scares me? Even if they come, I ain't scared. I'll show you what happens to people
13:54who cross me.
13:56Watched his face twist. Threw me aside. I crashed down.
14:00Before I recovered, he strode to Ethan. Kicked him. Ethan curled on the ground. Struggling in pain.
14:08Bro! Don't hit my bro!
14:11Screamed with all my strength. Still couldn't stop his kick. I went flying.
14:18You say don't hit then I don't? Where's my rule then?
14:22The man waved and his crew swarmed. Surrounding Ethan. Fists and feet rained down. Blood sprayed dirt.
14:30I spotted a crowbar on the ground, lunging for it.
14:34Get away from him!
14:35Hit one. Hit two. They scattered from my frenzy.
14:42Once they backed off, I grabbed Ethan, pulled him up. Blood poured from his mouth. My hands shook.
14:49Bro, you okay? Hold on. Please don't die. Let me get you out of here.
14:54I lifted him, dragged toward the exit. Down the canyon. I gritted my teeth, step by step.
15:06Where are you going?
15:08You really think you two are getting out of here today?
15:13Yeah, you hit our boss and think you can walk away? Ask us first.
15:18A muscle-bound thug stepped forward, even with Mrs. Sterling's professional MMA coach.
15:22Facing this monster in more than one no-confidence.
15:26Don't mind me. Just go.
15:29Weak voice in my ear. Ethan tried to push me away. His strength nothing compared to mine now.
15:36No. We leave together. I'm not leaving you behind.
15:40My first defiance of him since I came to the Sterling's. Applause.
15:46How touching.
15:47Then the man's eyes turned vicious.
15:49But it's over.
15:50Unprepared. I went down. Ethan were all with me.
15:54They closed in slowly.
15:56Guys, get her. Whoever hits hardest gets the biggest cut.
16:00They surged like floodwaters.
16:02Bro!
16:03Instinctively, I shielded Ethan first.
16:06Can't let him get hurt. Absolutely cannot.
16:09Gunshot.
16:11No pain came.
16:14Freeze! Hands up!
16:16NYCPD. The cavalry.
16:19Finally.
16:21The triumphant crew scattered in panic.
16:24I grabbed an officer's sleeve, begged them to get Ethan to the hospital.
16:28Stretcher arrived.
16:30Watching Ethan loaded into the ambulance, my heart finally settled.
16:34I blacked out.
16:36When I woke up the next afternoon, Mrs. Sterling at my bedside.
16:42Anna, you're awake.
16:45Red-rimmed eyes.
16:46Anxious face.
16:47Yeah.
16:49Where's Ethan? How is he?
16:50At Ethan's name, Mrs. Sterling wiped tears.
16:54Ethan, he's out of surgery.
16:57Still in post-observation.
17:00The doctor told us.
17:02Rest assured, we saved his legs.
17:05It was a close call any later, and we might not have been able to.
17:08He needs rest now.
17:09His bast.
17:09His back took a severe hit, but luckily, no spinal cord damage.
17:13Ethan woke two days later.
17:18His eyes found me.
17:21Sis, you okay?
17:22First time since I'd arrived.
17:24First time he'd called me sister.
17:26What did you call her?
17:29Sister.
17:32Mrs. Sterling patted my shoulder.
17:34I knew what it meant.
17:36They accepted me.
17:37Good girl.
17:38No more street racing.
17:40You behave.
17:41Study hard with Anna.
17:42Once you graduate from Hawthorne, I'll arrange your uni path.
17:46Okay.
17:47With sis.
17:48Mrs. Sterling held my hand tight.
17:51Warmth flowed from her palm.
17:53At that moment, I knew I had family.
17:55I will protect you and never let this happen again.
17:57Ethan, don't be so stupid next time, rushing in alone like that.
18:01You got me?
18:02I agreed.
18:03Yeah, what?
18:04Inside, I knew next time, every time, same situation, same choice.
18:09Three months in the hospital.
18:11I applied for homeschooling and independent study, taking care of Ethan for three months.
18:16Meanwhile, I start tutoring him through junior year material.
18:20Ethan's first month after recovery, we returned to school, and we caught the first midterm exam.
18:25Leaving the exam hall, I ran into two long unseen faces.
18:29Caleb and Abby.
18:30Abby paused.
18:31Fane surprised.
18:32Anna, when did you come back to school?
18:34I heard you got hurt.
18:35Was it serious?
18:36I thought you dropped out.
18:37I read the schadenfreude and her exaggerated expression.
18:40Ignored her.
18:41Walked past.
18:44Anna.
18:44Caleb stopped me.
18:46Rarely, no disgust on his face.
18:49You okay?
18:50Remembering that day, my helplessness up his decisive abandonment, which was unacceptable
18:54because even a stranger would do better.
18:56I held not any slice of former affection toward Caleb, my foster brother and later husband
19:01in my former life.
19:02I'm fine.
19:02I turned to leave.
19:04He blocked me again, grabbed my hand.
19:07What do you think you're doing?
19:09When I was about to break free, a backpack whistled through the air, hitting Caleb squarely.
19:14What are you doing grabbing my sister like that?
19:17Bro, don't mind them.
19:18Let's go.
19:20What's his problem?
19:21Next time he touches you, you tell me.
19:23I'll-
19:23I'm fine.
19:24Let's go home.
19:25Sis, I'm telling you, my midterm grades are going to be insane.
19:27I'm definitely making it into AP track, sitting next to you.
19:30Believe it?
19:30I believe you.
19:32So dismissive.
19:33I'm not.
19:34I'm serious.
19:35I'd never doubted Ethan's intelligence.
19:37He was smart, just unwilling to learn in the past days.
19:41After three months of tutoring, I'd felt him progressing.
19:44My instincts were right.
19:45A week later, midterm results were released.
19:48Ethan shot from remedial track to honors track.
19:50Met AP track requirements.
19:52My GPA stayed steady at 4.0 unweighted.
19:54What shocked me, Caleb and Abby, formerly top 5%, had fallen out of top 30%.
20:00They were demoted to standard track.
20:02How is this possible?
20:04How?
20:06Anna, you must have cheated!
20:08Bro, what are you doing here?
20:10Abby lit up, threw herself into Caleb Rivers' arms.
20:14Mom asked me to bring you lunch.
20:15It's scorching out here.
20:17Why don't I take over for a bit?
20:18Nah, bro.
20:19I got this.
20:19The Rivers' parents would grit their teeth, paying for Caleb's expensive Kaplan SAT prep,
20:24thanks to which Abby had to run busy over part-time jobs.
20:27Last life.
20:28They'd squeeze all my spare time, too.
20:30You're working too hard.
20:32Bro, this is my sister Anna.
20:33You saw her at St. Agnes.
20:35Stay away from people like that.
20:37Let's go.
20:38Bro, why so harsh?
20:39You'll scare others.
20:40Silly sis, that girl looks trouble.
20:41You stay away from her or she'll take advantage of you someday.
20:44Their voices faded.
20:45My heart rippled, but barely.
20:47Seeing me coming out with bags, Abby's face turned green.
20:50Whatever.
20:51You're gonna die soon.
20:52Unlike me and Caleb, we're gonna build a unicorn stead-up someday.
