Short filmTranscript
00:00She is an unloved burden who even killed our mother.
00:05When I was bullied at a party, it was a mafia boss, Edwin Carlson, who stepped in.
00:11He saved me and announced right there in front of everyone that I was the woman he loved.
00:22Stephanie is the one I love.
00:24Anyone who dares to mess with her again will have to deal with me.
00:31Edwin bought a castle deep in the forest just for me.
00:35He filled the garden with my favorite tulips and held a grand wedding there that made headlines across the country.
00:44For a while, I became the woman everyone envied.
00:52Seven months pregnant, I attended my father's birthday party.
00:56But that night, a sudden fire broke out.
01:00I love you for a thousand years.
01:10Come and save me quickly.
01:12Kelsey, where are you?
01:13We found Kelsey.
01:15Hurry up and go out.
01:16Beauty and all she is.
01:21I will be brave.
01:23Help me.
01:24I will not let anything take.
01:31I can't sleep anymore.
01:35You can't sleep anymore.
01:40I.
01:41You can't sleep anymore.
01:59What the hell were you thinking, starting that fire?
02:02Stephanie's only seven months pregnant.
02:04Are you trying to force her into early labor?
02:06Were you trying to kill her and the baby?
02:14Kelsey has leukemia.
02:16The doctor said we can't wait anymore.
02:18She needs surgery soon.
02:19And she needs the baby's bone marrow.
02:22I care about Kelsey's life more than you do.
02:26Why else would I have married Stephanie?
02:28You can't hurt her.
02:30I have my own plan.
02:32Saving Kelsey is the goal, yes.
02:35But if you try to save her at the cost of Stephanie's life, I won't allow it.
02:46So that was why he married me.
02:48Not because he loved me, but to save Kelsey.
03:00Everything he did for me, his kindness, his care was all for her.
03:05Just like my father and brother, he loved Kelsey.
03:09Not me.
03:09If no one loved me, then I figured I might as well just disappear.
03:14Tears kept falling as I walked down the hospital hallway.
03:18All I could see in my mind were flashes from the past.
03:24My mother had died from birth complications after giving birth to me.
03:28Since then, my brother, Denton Grant, and my father had never liked me.
03:34Yo!
03:38Tomorrow, just us three.
03:41You and Denton, big trip.
03:43For real?
03:44No way!
03:45For real.
03:53For her sweet 16 party, they threw a massive celebration,
03:58invited everyone from school,
04:00and even had a 10-layer cake.
04:05When Kelsey got sick.
04:07How are you feeling?
04:08Your brother is on his way back home right now.
04:14Much better.
04:15Thank you, Father.
04:17But when I was hospitalized for pneumonia,
04:20no one came to see me.
04:23I used to think a girl like me who caused her mother's death
04:26didn't deserve love.
04:32This is where you belong.
04:34An unloved outcast.
04:36You killed our mother.
04:38You don't deserve to be at my birthday party at all.
05:08Stephanie is the one I love.
05:10Anyone who dares to mess with her again
05:12will have to deal with me.
05:16Edwin was like a savior from heaven,
05:18right then and there.
05:20I fell for him.
05:21It all felt like a dream.
05:23How could a mafia boss like Edwin
05:26fall for someone like me?
05:27A girl everyone blamed for her mother's death.
05:31Even after we got married,
05:33it still felt too unreal.
05:35I really thought he loved me.
05:38But now I knew.
05:39He married me for Kelsey.
05:49Three years ago,
05:50Kelsey was diagnosed with chronic leukemia.
05:53She needed a bone marrow transplant,
05:55but no one in the family was a match.
06:04If Stephanie conceives a child,
06:06the baby's bone marrow will have a much higher chance
06:09of matching Kelsey's.
06:10This is currently the most effective treatment plan
06:13for her hurt condition.
06:16So that was why Edwin married me.
06:18His love,
06:20his care,
06:21everything he did.
06:22It was all for Kelsey.
06:26As I neared the hospital room,
06:28I suddenly heard voices inside.
06:32I'm not even sick.
06:34I fake the leukemia.
06:36I just wanted Stephanie to lose all hope.
06:39I wanted her to finally understand
06:41that dad and Deton only love me.
06:45And Edwin,
06:46he thought I saved him when he was kidnapped as a kid.
06:50He fell for me when he heard a piano tune he thought I played.
06:55But it was actually Stephanie both times.
06:59The one he truly loves is Stephanie.
07:02But too bad,
07:04he'll never know the truth.
07:09So,
07:10Edwin had the wrong person all along.
07:13He hurt me for Kelsey,
07:15not knowing I was the one he really loved.
07:18My hands trembled as I realized my phone
07:21had somehow started recording.
07:22The entire conversation had been captured.
07:28I took a deep breath,
07:30calmed myself,
07:31and tucked the phone away.
07:39I want to terminate the pregnancy.
07:45He knew how hard it had been for me to carry this baby,
07:49how many supplements I had taken,
07:51and how long I had been on bed rest just to keep it.
07:54After everything you've been through to conceive and protect this child,
08:01it's a pity to give up now.
08:06I cannot influence your decision.
08:13But this procedure requires Edwin's signed consent to proceed.
08:18Take the consent form home and think carefully again.
08:27There you are.
08:28I didn't see you just now.
08:30I was afraid something had happened.
08:32There was a time when just holding his hand made me feel safe.
08:36Now,
08:37all I felt was heartbreak.
08:43You're worried about me?
08:44You're my wife.
08:46Of course I'm worried.
08:47Who else would I worry about?
08:50Everyone knows you're my whole world.
08:53And you're carrying our baby.
08:55My nose stung.
08:57Was Edwin really worried about me?
08:59Or just afraid something might go wrong
09:02and mess up the bone marrow transplant for Kelsey?
09:07There's a test.
09:09I need your signature.
09:12What kind of test?
09:19Edwin, get over here.
09:21Kelsey's not feeling well.
09:28Okay, I'll be right there.
09:35There's something going on at the company.
09:37I'll be back soon.
09:38I'll go with you to do the checkup later.
09:52I opened the folder.
09:53Tears blurred my eyes as they landed on the words.
09:57Termination of pregnancy consent form.
09:59I walked toward the doctor's office.
10:01But just as I reached the door,
10:03the baby kicked.
10:04That tiny movement made me stop in my tracks.
10:08It was like the baby could sense my fear
10:11and was telling me not to give up.
10:16I hesitated for a long time.
10:19And then turned and walked away.
10:21I couldn't do it.
10:23I wanted to keep this child.
10:25I would take him far away from this world of lies.
10:28Away from the Grants.
10:30Away from Edwin.
10:31From now on, it would be just my baby and me.
10:36I stayed in the hospital all day.
10:38But Edwin never showed up.
10:42The next day, after I checked out by myself,
10:45I passed the VIP ward and saw something that cut deep.
10:49Denton and my father were right there with Kelsey.
10:55One was feeding her fruit.
10:57The other flipping through channels
10:58to find her favorite comedy movie.
11:02Meanwhile, Edwin was talking seriously
11:04with her doctor about her treatment plan.
11:08Kelsey tugged on Edwin's sleeve
11:09and pointed at a box of chocolates.
11:12Edwin unwrapped it and gently fed her one.
11:15Watching that warm, perfect scene
11:17felt like a knife to the heart.
11:19They looked like a real family,
11:21while I was just someone who didn't belong.
11:27I remembered the time Kelsey and I
11:30were both hospitalized with pneumonia
11:32when we were little.
11:35Denton and my father stayed by her bedside
11:37the entire time,
11:39taking care of her like she was the only one who mattered.
11:43I was alone in a cold hospital room.
11:46No one checked on me.
11:48I was so thirsty that my lips cracked and bled.
11:54Sweetheart, why is no one taking care of you?
11:58Water.
12:01Slow down, take your time.
12:07Moments like that when I was ignored
12:09happened more times than I could count.
12:12It wasn't until I married Edwin
12:14that I finally felt what it was like to be loved.
12:16He had always been so thoughtful,
12:19giving me the best of everything.
12:22I really thought I was the only one in his heart.
12:27Feeding her chocolate like that,
12:29it broke me all over again.
12:31I wiped away my tears and headed home.
12:34Then I called my college advisor.
12:42I accept the closed research project at North India.
12:55Mrs. Grant, the 10-year contract is confirmed.
12:58No returning home.
12:58I understand.
12:59Your flight is booked for three days from now.
13:02Okay, three days.
13:03You should say a proper goodbye to your family.
13:09I will.
13:10After all, you won't be coming back for a decade.
13:14I know.
13:20Hi.
13:24What were you booking on the phone?
13:27The opera tickets I bought earlier.
13:29I couldn't make it because of the hospital stay,
13:31so I canceled them.
13:32I see.
13:33But why didn't you tell me you were discharged?
13:35I would have picked you up.
13:41Stephanie, why didn't you tell Edwin you were discharged?
13:44When we saw your room empty, he panicked.
13:46He thought something terrible had happened.
13:48He's a mafia boss, you know.
13:49Tons of enemies are watching him.
13:51He really thought you'd been kidnapped by one of them.
13:53I looked at Kelsey.
13:55She always knew how to twist things around and make me look bad.
13:59She'd been doing it since we were kids.
14:05And now, she was slapping me with the same old label.
14:09Selfish and inconsiderate.
14:15Kelsey's health isn't great.
14:16The doctor said she should rest at home.
14:19Our castle has clean air and a forest nearby.
14:21It's perfect for recovery.
14:22That's why I invited her to stay for a while.
14:26Sorry.
14:27I'll be interrupting your alone time.
14:30She was clearly waiting for me to lose my temper,
14:33just so she could play the victim
14:35and call me spoiled and unreasonable.
14:37That was always her tactic.
14:40But I just kept a calm face.
14:42You can stay as long as you want.
14:45Kelsey froze for a second.
14:47The next day,
14:49Edwin was busy giving the maid's instructions about Kelsey's room.
14:55He made sure they understood every little detail,
14:59especially her diet.
15:02So,
15:03it turned out Edwin knew Kelsey's preferences
15:05just as well as he knew mine.
15:08I closed my eyes,
15:10suddenly feeling ridiculous.
15:12Why had it taken me this long
15:13to realize how much he cared about her?
15:16That night,
15:17I went to my room early
15:19to start packing for the trip.
15:30I was just about to lie down
15:32when Edwin came in
15:33with a glass of water.
15:46Take this before bed.
15:48You don't want to wake up
15:49with leg cramps again from low calcium.
15:51As I watched how gentle he was,
15:54a bitter feeling rose in my chest.
15:56He must have only learned to be this thoughtful
15:58because of taking care of Kelsey.
16:00Are you guys asleep?
16:04Before either of us could answer,
16:07she pushed the door open.
16:13She was holding a bottle of massage oil
16:16and smiling sweetly.
16:18Stephanie,
16:19you're pregnant
16:19and pregnancy can cause swelling.
16:22I just learned a therapy technique.
16:25Let me give you a massage.
16:27I frowned and shook my head.
16:29I didn't feel close enough to Kelsey
16:31to be okay with her giving me a massage.
16:33Is it because you don't trust my technique?
16:37Edwin,
16:38I know Stephanie doesn't like me much,
16:40but I really mean no harm.
16:54Kelsey was worried
16:55she was intruding on us
16:56by staying here,
16:57so she wanted to do something helpful.
16:59Just let her give you a massage, okay?
17:02My nose stung.
17:03Between me and Kelsey,
17:05he chose her.
17:06Even knowing our relationship was strained,
17:08he didn't take my side.
17:13That was the moment I gave up.
17:14I stopped fighting.
17:17Okay.
17:18Thanks, Kelsey.
17:20I agreed.
17:21I didn't care what she had planned anymore.
17:23Tomorrow, at this time,
17:25I'd already be on a plane out of here.
17:27I wouldn't expect anyone's love ever again.
17:30And no one would be able to find me.
17:33Edwin,
17:34her arms and legs need to be secured
17:36during the massage
17:37to prevent sudden movements.
17:39This is a stretch band.
17:41It's soft
17:41and doesn't cut circulation,
17:43so it won't hurt her.
17:49I looked at Edwin,
17:50silently begging him with my eyes.
17:53Who needed to be tied up for a massage?
17:56That was clearly suspicious.
18:01But the same Edwin who was sharp and ruthless
18:03in the business world
18:05actually believed her.
18:06He let her tie my arms and legs down.
18:15I'll start the massage now.
18:17Edwin, can you step out for a bit?
18:24I'll be back as soon as you're done.
18:26The moment he left,
18:27the door clicked shut
18:29and Kelsey's sweet expression vanished.
18:32I yanked at the bands,
18:34trying to free myself,
18:35but I couldn't move at all.
18:47Don't bother struggling.
18:49Those ones on you
18:50don't stretch at all.
18:59You figured it out,
19:01didn't you?
19:02That Edwin only married you
19:03because of me.
19:06Even if you know,
19:07so what?
19:08You can't change anything.
19:11You've been under my thumb
19:12since we were kids.
19:15Once you give birth,
19:17your child will be next.
19:20I knew I couldn't change
19:22the way Edwin Denton
19:23and my father
19:24all favored Kelsey.
19:26That was why I had decided to leave.
19:28But hearing her say it out loud
19:30still broke my heart.
19:33You know what?
19:35Mom's death wasn't your fault.
19:40My stomach dropped.
19:41What did she mean by that?
19:48When you were first brought out
19:49of the delivery room,
19:50Dad and Denton adored you.
19:54They said you looked just like Mom,
19:56so pretty,
19:57and they wanted to raise you
19:58like a little princess.
20:00They were going to give you
20:01the best of everything.
20:02I hated it.
20:03Before you came along,
20:05I was the little princess
20:06of the family.
20:07So I pulled out the oxygen tube
20:09while Mom was still unconscious
20:10after surgery,
20:11and you're the reason
20:12why your mother died.
20:14I'm going to make sure
20:15you die too.
20:16I wanted to see
20:17if they would still love you
20:18if Mom died
20:19because of you!
20:21So, it wasn't me.
20:23I didn't cause
20:24my mother's death.
20:27As I expected,
20:29they blamed everything on you.
20:31They stopped loving you
20:33and gave all their attention
20:35to me.
20:37Aren't you afraid
20:38I'll tell Denton
20:39and Dad the truth?
20:41You can try.
20:43No one would believe you.
21:12No one would believe you.
21:18It hurts.
21:30Kelsey's collapsed dramatically onto the floor.
21:35Kelsey!
21:36Don't blame Stephanie.
21:39I must have hurt her by accident, so she kicked me because of the pain.
21:48How could you hurt Kelsey?
21:51I didn't.
21:57I'm taking her to the hospital first.
22:04It took a long while before I could stand up again.
22:10I applied ointment to my burned arms.
22:17And then I gathered all my documents and ID.
22:20By the time the sun rose, I'd be gone for good.
22:32It's still early.
22:33Get some more rest.
22:34He was right.
22:35It was still early.
22:36I should get some sleep.
22:38I needed the energy to leave.
22:39I drifted off again.
22:41And when I woke up, it was already 9am.
22:44The room was empty.
22:46I gave a bitter smile, of course.
22:48Edwin wasn't here.
22:49He was probably at the hospital with Kelsey.
22:52That was fine.
22:53It meant I could leave without anyone noticing.
22:56I checked my luggage and got ready to go when suddenly, a message popped up from Kelsey.
23:06Edwin.
23:07Will you and Stephanie get divorced after she gives birth to the baby?
23:10I'm not divorcing Stephanie.
23:13I was wrong before, and I'll take care of her for the rest of my life.
23:16He told them to stop bringing up divorce.
23:19He wanted to make things right and make up for what he'd done.
23:28Tears fell again.
23:30Did Edwin ever really love me?
23:32If that love was built on lies, then I didn't want it.
23:36I picked up my bags and got into a cab.
23:40Then, I sent the video from the hospital, the one where Kelsey admitted Edwin mistook
23:46her identity, and she was faking her illness, anonymously to Edwin's email, and the surveillance
23:52footage from our bedroom, where Kelsey confessed she was the one who caused our mother's death.
23:57I sent that anonymously to my father and Denton.
23:59After I hit send, I tossed my phone out the window.
24:03From now on, I was starting a new life.
24:06At the hospital, Edwin suddenly felt a wave of anxiety for no reason.
24:20What's wrong?
24:21Are you burned?
24:23I'm fine.
24:24My hand just shook.
24:26I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling.
24:29I'm worried about Stephanie.
24:31I need to go home and check on her.
24:45Can you please not go?
24:47I'm all alone in the hospital.
24:49I'm scared.
24:51Can you please not go?
24:57I'm scared.
24:58All right.
25:00I'll stay with you a little longer.
25:07Every minute after that felt like torture.
25:10He was visibly restless, distracted, and clearly on edge.
25:14Seeing him like that, Kelsey sent me several more text messages, full of insults.
25:19But I never saw any of them.
25:21With no reply from me, Kelsey felt her efforts to provoke me were pointless.
25:26She was furious but had nowhere to vent it.
25:29It wasn't until my plane landed safely in Northendria, my father and Denton returned to the hospital room.
25:34Edwin didn't say a word to them.
25:38He rushed straight back home.
25:40His chest suddenly tightened, and he felt as if needles were stabbing at his heart.
25:45The pain made him drop to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
25:53He walked into the bedroom and saw the empty bed.
26:00Then he opened the closet and saw that all of my clothes and belongings were gone.
26:04That was when Edwin turned pale.
26:12Esme!
26:14Where's Esme?
26:17Esme!
26:18Esme!
26:20He had a terrible guess in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it.
26:31This morning, Mrs. Carlson said she was going to the hospital to see you.
26:35She never came back after that.
26:45I'm not even sick.
26:46I fake the leukemia.
26:48I just wanted Stephanie to lose all hope.
26:52I wanted her to finally understand that Dad and Denton only love me.
26:56I'm not even sick.
26:58I'm not even sick.
27:03I'm not even sick.
27:06I'm not even sick.
27:07I'm not even sick.
27:07I'm not even sick.
27:08I'm not even sick.
27:08I'm not even sick.
