Short filmTranscript
00:00Three years after the divorce, my ex-husband Liam showed up on my porch with red roses and a smug
00:05grin.
00:06I kept my promise, babe. Time's out. Let's get remarried.
00:11It all started three years ago. He made a bet with Chloe, his childhood best friend.
00:17Chloe sneered in front of everyone.
00:19Prove Nora's your soulmate. Divorce her, cut all contact for three years and see if she takes you back.
00:25If she does, I'll admit it's true love.
00:27I thought he would shut her down. Instead, he just left.
00:32The memory faded as he shoved the roses toward my chest.
00:35I stepped back and looked him in the eye.
00:39My husband doesn't let me accept flowers from other men.
00:43Liam chuckled.
00:44You're still pouting? Come on. I'm right here. Stop playing hard to get.
00:49He tried to grab my waist, but I dodged my expression stony.
00:53Back off, Liam. Back off.
00:57Wow. You're actually mad this time. Fine. What's your price?
01:00What do I have to buy you to make it right?
01:02He pressed closer. I backed up until my shoulders hit the front door.
01:06Liam planted a hand on the wood beside my head. He leaned in close.
01:09He whispered, brushing his thumb across my cheek.
01:13So, did you give me a boy or a girl?
01:15His words twisted like a knife in my chest.
01:19He knew I was pregnant three years ago, but he still signed those divorce papers.
01:25He never called or texted in all that time.
01:28A bitter smile spread across my lips.
01:30I opened my mouth to tell him I had aborted the pregnancy the day he left.
01:34But his phone buzzed.
01:36The screen lit up.
01:37Princess.
01:39The screen lit up.
01:40Princess.
01:43Liam, it hurts so bad.
01:45My cramps are killing me.
01:48Hey, don't cry.
01:49I'm on my way.
01:51He hung up.
01:52Then, he patted the top of my head like I was a loyal dog.
01:56I need to check on Chloe.
01:57Wait for me.
01:58I'll come get you later.
02:00One moment, a man was begging for a remarriage with deep affection.
02:05Yet the next, he abandoned everything for another woman.
02:08Ten minutes after Liam left, a new photo showed up on my Instagram feed.
02:12Chloe was curled up against Liam's chest, looking frail and sweaty.
02:16In the ten minutes it took him to rush to her side, they couldn't wait to show off in front
02:20of me.
02:20His hand rested gently on her stomach.
02:23The caption read,
02:23He always puts me first.
02:25If I'm in pain, he drops everything to be by my side.
02:29I liked the post.
02:30She'd posted such photos daily for three years, and I'd liked every single one.
02:35She loved flaunting how she'd maxed Liam's cards, lounging in what was once my home.
02:39She sees me as a jealous, crazed ex, unaware every like is my silent mockery.
02:44They had played house for three years.
02:47I knew she posted them just for me.
02:49After three years of watching coldly, this farce is bound to come to an end.
02:54A few days later, the bell above my cafe door jingled.
02:58Liam and Chloe walked in wearing matching caramel coats.
03:01He never matched with me.
03:03But for her, he did.
03:05Chloe looked around my cafe like she had stepped into a dump.
03:09In her eyes, the small shop I run with all my heart is nothing but a she-pile of rubbish.
03:17I gave you millions in the settlement.
03:19Why are you working a minimum wage job?
03:21He will never understand that what I have always wanted is never to rely on his wealth,
03:25but a life of my own.
03:27When we divorced, I took half his assets.
03:29Because I want to and it's none of your business,
03:31I wiped down the espresso machine, not even bothering to look up.
03:35Liam smirked, fully believing I was still holding a ruraj.
03:39Chloe put on her sweetest voice.
03:41It's been three years.
03:43How are you holding up?
03:46Never better, I said flatly.
03:49My indifference threw her off.
03:51Then Liam's phone rang and he stepped outside.
03:54Once the door closed, Chloe finally showed her true colors.
03:58Drop the hard-to-get act.
03:59And don't get too excited.
04:01So what if you guys get remarried?
04:02Mrs. Stinclair still hates you.
04:04She always wanted me in the family.
04:06She pulled a thick document from her bag and slammed it on the counter.
04:10Liam is only taking you back out of obligation.
04:13He even asked my permission before he showed up at your house.
04:17Oh, and you'll have to sign a prenup.
04:20I glanced at the first page.
04:22It was unhinged.
04:23According to the contract, I would get zero access to the Stinclair fortune.
04:27I was forbidden from calling Mrs. Stinclair mom.
04:30Worst of all, I could never introduce myself as Liam's wife in public.
04:34It was so absurd I laughed out loud.
04:36I pushed the papers back to her.
04:37If Mrs. Stinclair loves you so much, why hasn't Liam put a ring on it?
04:41Three years of playing house and you're still just the side chick.
04:44That's pathetic.
04:45Her face turned bright red and she raised her hand, ready to slap me.
04:49Then the cafe door opened.
04:51Liam's footsteps echoed behind her.
04:53In a split second, Chloe's hand dropped.
04:55She turned on the waterworks.
04:57I just want you and Liam to be happy.
04:59She's his best friend.
04:59I just want him to feel safe.
05:01The prenup is just a formality.
05:03Please don't be mad at me.
05:04Oscar winning acting.
05:06And Liam, the second he saw her crying, his brain shut off.
05:09He was hopelessly blind to her bullshit.
05:11Chloe, what's wrong?
05:14I'm fine.
05:15Please don't be mad at Nora.
05:18It's all my fault.
05:19The harder she played the victim, the more Liam glared at me.
05:23He barked the order like I was the help.
05:25Apologize to her, Nora.
05:27I just scoffed.
05:28His jaw tightened.
05:29She grew up with me.
05:30She's like a sister.
05:31Can you stop being so hostile?
05:32I opened my mouth to kick them out, but my phone buzzed with a FaceTime call.
05:36The caller ID flashed, my baby boy.
05:38Liam's eyes widened.
05:40Before I could grab it, his hand spat out and hit accept.
05:43A chubby, two-year-old face filled the screen.
05:45Mommy, I miss you.
05:47Liam froze.
05:48Then, pure euphoria washed over his face.
05:51He was absolutely convinced this was the baby I was carrying when he dumped me.
05:54I said a few words to Leo and hung up, just as Liam tried to grab my phone.
05:58Let me see my son!
05:59He demanded, grinning like an idiot.
06:01The anger from two seconds ago was gone.
06:04Behind him, Chloe's face turned ashen.
06:06He's not yours.
06:07Stay the hell away from me.
06:09You're both psychotic.
06:11Come on, stop being stubborn.
06:13I miss you, and I miss our boy.
06:14I realized then that nothing short of seeing my actual new husband would shatter his ego.
06:18Then he dropped the bomb.
06:20Mom's birthday is this weekend.
06:22You're a great cook.
06:23Make her favorite dishes.
06:24It's the perfect chance to mend fences.
06:27Now that you've given her a grandson, she won't give you a hard time.
06:30So he knew all along.
06:31For the three years we were married, Mrs. Sinclair treated me like trash.
06:34She hated that I came from a poor family.
06:37She banned me from family events.
06:39I wasn't even allowed to sit at her dining table.
06:41And Liam?
06:42He never defended me once.
06:46Hypothetical question, Liam.
06:47Let's say I cook a five-star feast.
06:49What if your mom still bans me from the table?
06:51Be the bigger person.
06:53Just suck up to her a little.
06:55Her bark is worse than her bite.
06:56There's no shame in swallowing your pride for your elders.
07:00Mrs. Sinclair loves it when people know their place and grovel.
07:05Three years is a lifetime.
07:08I'm married now, and that kid isn't yours.
07:11But hey, you should keep kissing her ass.
07:14Maybe if you play the perfect little lapdog, she'll finally let you be a real Sinclair.
07:22I shouldn't have said anything.
07:24Chloe whimpered.
07:25She burst into tears and sprinted out the door.
07:27How long are you going to keep up this stubborn act, Nora?
07:30He barked, rushing out after her.
07:32My phone buzzed.
07:33A text from Julian Relief washed over me.
07:35Project's done.
07:35I'll be home tomorrow afternoon, beautiful.
07:38Once Liam met Julian, his delusional ego trip would finally end.
07:42The next morning, right after I opened the cafe, my phone rang.
07:45It was my nanny, sobbing.
07:47Nora, Liam's men blocked my car on the way to daycare.
07:50They just took Leo.
07:52My heart shot into my throat.
07:55I sped straight to Liam's family estate.
07:59When I sprinted into the backyard, my blood ran cold.
08:03Chloe had shoved Leo into the dog run.
08:06He was trapped inside the cage with a massive golden retriever and her black Persian cat.
08:11Leo is severely allergic to animal dendor.
08:14One touch from a cat or dog could send him into anaphylactic shock.
08:18He was screaming in terror.
08:19His tiny face was flushed purple and angry red hives were already blistering his skin.
08:24Chloe ignored his panic.
08:25She grabbed the cat and shoved it into his chest.
08:28Don't be scared, Leo.
08:29This kitty is three years old, so she is basically your big sister.
08:33Chloe cooed in a sweet, sickening voice.
08:35Hugger, don't be rude.
08:37Your loud crying is scaring the poor kitty.
08:39Leo threw his little hands up to protect his face.
08:42The cat hissed.
08:43Its razor-sharp claws swiped across his cheek, leaving three bloody gashes.
08:48Leo shrieked louder.
08:50I told you that you are scaring the kitty.
08:55Get your hands off my son!
08:58But just as my fingers brushed the metal latch, Liam came out of nowhere.
09:02He grabbed me from behind, dragging me back.
09:05Relax, Nora.
09:06Chloe's just trying to be nice.
09:08She wants to give the boys some playmates.
09:10My vision blurred with rage.
09:12I spun around and slapped.
09:13Liam across the face with everything I had!
09:16He is severely allergic to dendor!
09:18Animals could kill him!
09:20I tried to turn back to the cage, but Liam locked his iron grip around my wrist.
09:24Chloe looked up, her eyes wide with innocence.
09:26It's the kitty's third birthday today, and she loves playing with kids.
09:29She pouted.
09:30I just thought, since Leo is moving into the estate soon, they should get to know each other.
09:35As she spoke, the black cat lashed out again.
09:38Fresh craw marks bloomed across his arms, neck, and face.
09:42Don't worry, Chloe added casually.
09:44My pets are fully vaccinated and clean.
09:46I sleep with my cat every night.
09:47Leo's crying suddenly turned into a horrifying, raspy wheeze.
09:50His face was swelling fast.
09:52I thrashed against Liam's grip like a wild animal.
09:56Boys need to be tough, Liam scolded, pinning my arms to my sides.
10:01He's going to inherit the Sinclair Empire one day.
10:03I'm not raising a coward who is afraid of animals.
10:07Suddenly, Leo's eyes rolled back.
10:08His little body went limp, collapsing onto the dirt.
10:11He's in anaphylactic shock!
10:14The arrogance drained from Liam's face.
10:16I shoved past him and ripped the gate open.
10:19I grabbed Leo's limp body and sprinted for my car.
10:22Liam and Chloe followed me to the emergency room.
10:25While the doctors rushed Leo into the trauma bay.
10:29I need a parent to sign the consent for emergency treatment.
10:32I'm the father.
10:33I'll sign it, Pennant.
10:34He reached before his fingers could touch it.
10:36A commanding voice echoed down the hallway.
10:38Since when is my son yours?
10:41I ripped the consent form from Liam's hands and signed my name.
10:47Is my baby going to make it?
10:50He's stabilizing.
10:51You got him here just in time.
10:52He's out of the woods and we're moving him to a private recovery room now.
10:55I finally let out a breath.
10:57But when I turned around, the hallway felt like a war zone.
11:00Julian and Liam were locked in a stare down.
11:03The tension was suffocating.
11:04Who the hell is this guy?
11:06I stepped right up to Julian and wrapped my arms around his waist.
11:09This is Julian, my husband, and Leo's biological father.
11:14Julian's jaw was clenched tight with rage.
11:16But when he looked down at me, his eyes softened.
11:19I've got this, baby.
11:20Don't worry.
11:22Stop the bullshit!
11:23Leo is my son!
11:24Did you hire an actor just to make me jealous?
11:26I slapped him so hard my palm burned.
11:29A red handmerk bloomed on his face.
11:31You better pray Leo is okay.
11:33If he's not, I will end you and Chloe.
11:36Before Liam could process the threat,
11:38Julian planted a brutal kick into his stomach.
11:40Liam groaned, stumbling back and clutching his gut.
11:44If Leo has so much as a lasting scar,
11:46I will bury your entire family.
11:49Chloe rushed over to prop Liam up.
11:51She glared at me, baffled.
11:52What are you doing?
11:53I thought you were desperate to get Liam back!
11:55She scanned Julian up and down.
11:57She noticed his spoke suit
11:58and the rare Patak Philippe on his wrist.
12:01I don't know how much she's paying you to play her fake husband,
12:04but let me make one thing clear.
12:06I'm the only man she has ever loved.
12:08He stood tall, utterly convinced of his own lies.
12:13She chased me for two years in college just to get my attention.
12:15We're endgame.
12:16That divorce was just a bump in the road.
12:17I told her three years ago we would get back together
12:19and she has been waiting.
12:20She even had my son.
12:21So do us all a favor.
12:22Back off and stay out of my marriage.
12:23I stared at him, my stomach turning.
12:25I loved you once, Liam.
12:27But looking at you now makes me sick.
12:29Liam's arrogant smile faltered.
12:31He finally realized that I wasn't just being petty.
12:33I truly didn't love him anymore.
12:35That stupid bet you made with Chloe was your final test
12:37and you failed.
12:39I snapped.
12:40I don't go backwards.
12:41You have been screwing your best friend for three years
12:43and now you expect me to play house with you?
12:45You're a joke.
12:46You're psychotic if you think I'd ever carry a child
12:48for a piece of trash like you.
12:50Julian tightened his grip on my waist.
12:52He looked down at Liam like he was scraping him off his shoe.
12:56Let me clear up the timeline for you.
12:58The day you divorced her,
12:59I put a ring on her finger.
13:00And before the week was over,
13:02she terminated the pregnancy.
13:04After Liam divorced me,
13:05I didn't go looking for Julian.
13:07Julian found me.
13:08The day my divorce was fatalized,
13:10Julian showed up at my front door.
13:12He came to cash in the promise
13:13I had made him years ago.
13:14Heartbroken and reckless,
13:16I said yes.
13:17We drove straight to the courthouse and eloped.
13:19I had actually warned Liam once,
13:21if you ever throw me away,
13:23a billionaire is ready to marry me tomorrow.
13:26Back then,
13:27Liam just scrolled through my messages with Julian and laughed.
13:30He's a catfish, babe.
13:31You are so gullible.
13:32Julian and I met online.
13:34I knew American Sign Language,
13:35and he paid me to tutor him
13:36so he could talk to his deaf grandmother.
13:37Suddenly,
13:38the doors of the trauma bay swung open.
13:40The doctors we owe out on a stretcher.
13:42Julian and I rushed to his side.
13:43Leo's little eyes fluttered open.
13:45He saw me crying.
13:46Even though he could barely breathe,
13:47my sweet boy tried to comfort me.
13:49Don't cry, mommy.
13:50It's bad for the baby sister.
13:52I followed the stretcher toward the VIP wing,
13:55and Julian turned to his head of security.
13:57Call the police.
13:58I want them both in handcuffs.
13:59Now.
14:01Looking at the bloody claw marks across his swollen face,
14:03my heart shattered.
14:04I sobbed and gripped his tiny hand,
14:06apologizing over and over again.
14:07Sorry.
14:09Liam stood there, paralyzed.
14:10The truth finally hit him.
14:12He was the joke.
14:13He didn't just lose his wife.
14:15He never even had a son.
14:17Panic finally broke through his ego.
14:19He lunged toward me.
14:20Nora!
14:21Nora, wait!
14:22We need to talk!
14:22Julian moved instantly.
14:23He grabbed Liam by the throat
14:25and slammed him against the wall.
14:27Before Liam could even gasp for air,
14:29Julian leaned in.
14:30This isn't over.
14:31I'm going to tear the Sinclair Empire to shreds.
14:34Hey!
14:34Let him go!
14:35You can't fight in a hospital.
14:37Julian dropped him
14:38only because the doctor intervened.
14:40Ten minutes later,
14:42the police arrived.
14:42They arrested Liam and Chloe
14:44on the spot for child endangerment
14:46and kidnapping.
14:46The contest involving two top-tier families
14:49has only just begun.
14:50After Liam was settled
14:51in a private suite with his nanny,
14:53Julian, our lawyers,
14:54and I headed to the police precinct.
14:56Liam and Chloe sat in an interrogation room
14:58with their lawyer.
14:59Liam looked dead inside.
15:01I didn't want to hurt the boy.
15:03I genuinely believed he was my son.
15:05I was just taking my kid home.
15:07Exactly!
15:08It was just a misunderstanding!
15:10I pulled the DNA test results from my bag
15:13and threw them in Liam's face.
15:14Here's the paternity test.
15:15Stop living in your fantasy.
15:17I aborted your baby three years ago.
15:19Liam stared at the papers scattered on the floor.
15:21His hands shook as he picked them up.
15:22He read the line confirming a 19.9% match
15:24between Leo and Julian.
15:26That was the moment his world collapsed.
15:27His knees bolted.
15:28He stumbled backward,
15:29his eyes welling with tears.
15:31He looked up at me,
15:32completely devastated.
15:34Why?
15:34Why would you kill our baby?
15:36Why didn't you even tell me?
15:40Why?
15:42You want to know why?
15:44You knew I was pregnant,
15:45but you still divorced me
15:46over a sick game with Chloe.
15:48You acted like I was dead for three years.
15:50You never called,
15:51and you never texted.
15:53I reached into my bag,
15:54pulled out a flash drive,
15:56and slapped it onto the table
15:57in front of the detective.
15:58I was wearing a hidden camera
16:00when I went to the Sinclair estate,
16:01I told the officer.
16:02You will see exactly what happened.
16:05The evidence is clear.
16:06You're both under arrest
16:08for child endangerment
16:09and kidnapping.
16:12I think you're jumping
16:14to conclusions, detective.
16:17She looked at me
16:18with the same contempt as always.
16:20You just want money.
16:21Name your price.
16:22I laughed again.
16:23Her sheer arrogance
16:24was unbelievable.
16:25You left Liam,
16:26found some other guy,
16:27and realized you can't afford
16:27to raise a kid.
16:28Now you're pulling
16:29this pathetic extortion scheme.
16:30Whatever.
16:31Name your price.
16:32I'll treat it like
16:32buying a stray dog.
16:33A few million is chump change
16:34to the Sinclairs.
16:35Julian stepped in front of me.
16:36He towered over her
16:37with cold eyes.
16:38Mrs. Sinclair gasped.
16:40No wonder Liam
16:40is a brainless attack dog.
16:41He gets it from you.
16:43She looked Julian up and down,
16:45finally noticing
16:45his custom suit
16:46and commanding presents.
16:47Julian pulled a matte black
16:48business card from his pocket
16:49and held it in front of her face.
16:51Do you really think Julian Vance
16:52can't afford to raise
16:53his own son?
16:56Julian Vance?
16:58Nora!
16:59Mrs. Vance rushed
17:00into the precinct
17:01with panic in her eyes.
17:02She grabbed my hands.
17:03Are you hurt?
17:04Did they touch you?
17:05I'm okay mom.
17:06What are you doing here?
17:07I thought you were
17:08in the Hamptons.
17:08My grandson is
17:09in the hospital.
17:11Of course I came back.
17:12I'm not letting a bunch
17:13of street rats bully you.
17:14She shot a lethal glare
17:16right at Mrs. Sinclair.
17:17Mrs. Sinclair shrunk back.
17:19She forced an awkward smile.
17:20Panic consumed Mrs. Sinclair.
17:22She scrambled to apologize
17:23and looked at me
17:24with desperate eyes.
17:25Nora, I'm so sorry.
17:26I lost my temper.
17:27I know I haven't been kind
17:28in the past.
17:29Please be the bigger person.
17:30Do not hold this against us.
17:32The woman who once
17:32wouldn't even let me sit
17:33at the dinner table
17:34now grovels and begs
17:35before me.
17:37Mom, let the lawyers
17:38handle the trash.
17:39Let's go home.
17:40If any judge,
17:41any cop,
17:42or any politician
17:43tries to cut them a deal
17:44behind closed doors,
17:45they go to war
17:46with the Vance family.
17:49A few days later,
17:50Mrs. Sinclair showed up
17:51at the Vance estate.
17:52She brought millions
17:53in luxury gifts
17:53and begged for a settlement
17:55on her knees.
17:55Liam was CEO of Sinclair.
17:57If he went to prison,
17:58their stock would tank,
17:59the board would oust them,
17:59and the empire would collapse.
18:01Her legs finally gave out.
18:03She collapsed onto the edge
18:04of our coffee table.
18:05Her eyes blood rushed
18:06as she looked up at me.
18:07I'll do whatever you want.
18:08Just tell Julian to back off.
18:09Please.
18:10Mrs. Vance sat on the velvet sofa.
18:12She looked down at her
18:13like she was nothing.
18:13Nora runs this house.
18:15If she forgives you,
18:16we forgive you.
18:16I sat next to Mrs. Vance.
18:18She squeezed my hand
18:19and gave me a warm smile.
18:20We'd been married
18:21almost three years,
18:22and she treated me
18:23like her own flesh and blood.
18:24She was honestly sweeter
18:25to me than to Julia.
18:26The maternal love
18:27and respect I once longed for
18:28but could never obtain
18:29came to me effortlessly
18:30at the Vance family's home.
18:31You've been an elitist
18:32your entire life,
18:33and today you're groveling
18:34at my feet.
18:35Why?
18:36Because you're a mother,
18:37and a mother will do anything
18:38for your son.
18:40Well, I'm a mother too.
18:41So what makes you think
18:42I'd ever show mercy
18:43to the people
18:44who tried to kill my child?
18:46She tried to come back
18:47a few more times,
18:48but my guards tossed her
18:50off the property every time.
18:51Eventually, she gave up.
18:53Meanwhile, Julian moved fast.
18:55He launched a brutal
18:55corporate takeover
18:56even before the criminal
18:57trial started.
18:59Begin the acquisition.
19:01He bought out Sinclair's
19:03biggest clients
19:03and poached their
19:04key executives.
19:05He poured endless resources
19:07into starving Liam's empire.
19:09Investors pulled out
19:10within weeks.
19:11Major contracts vanished.
19:13Sinclair Corporation bled out,
19:14and Liam was powerless
19:16to stop it.
19:17Three months later,
19:17the judge banged the gavel.
19:19Liam was jailed
19:20for two years,
19:20Chloe four.
19:21By Liam's second month
19:22in prison,
19:23Sinclair Corp went bankrupt.
19:24Later that year,
19:25I gave birth to a healthy
19:26baby girl.
19:27Julian and Mrs. Vance
19:28were overjoyed,
19:28treated me like royalty,
19:29and my life became
19:30perfectly beyond expectation.
19:32A few months later,
19:33I was walking out
19:34of a boutique
19:35when a deranged woman
19:36lunged at me
19:36from an alley.
19:37It was Mrs. Sinclair.
19:39You bitch!
19:41You ruined Liam!
19:43You destroyed our family!
19:45Die!
19:46Julian had insisted
19:47I learn self-defense,
19:48and my reflexes kicked in.
19:57I'm no longer
19:58the pussover
19:58who could be manipulated
19:59by anyone back then.
20:01Stop!
20:02The police dragged her away.
20:03She was convicted
20:04of attempted murder
20:05and sentenced
20:05to three years in prison.
20:07Don't be afraid.
20:08I'm here.
20:08Julian tripled
20:09my security detail
20:10after that.
20:11We never took
20:12another risk.
20:12Everyone in the Sinclair family
20:14has paid the due price
20:15for their actions.
20:16Five years later,
20:17I saw Liam one last time.
20:20I have a new project.
20:21It's a revolutionary idea.
20:22I just need a little bit
20:23of funding
20:24to get it off the ground.
20:26Five years have passed,
20:27yet he still dwells
20:28in the obsessions
20:28of the past
20:29and refuses to come
20:30to his senses.
20:31Julian, our two kids,
20:33and I were walking
20:33out after dinner.
20:34Liam foed the second
20:35he saw me.
20:36He just stood there,
20:37staring with a completely
20:38broken look in his eyes,
20:39full of regret,
20:40resentment,
20:41and a hint of delusion.
20:42He looked at me,
20:43his eyes filled with regret,
20:44but I no longer felt
20:45anything for him at all.
20:46I didn't even break my stride.
20:48I held my kids' hands
20:49and kept walking.
20:50Julian,
20:52everything you took from me,
20:54I'm going to get it back,
20:55and that includes Nora!
20:57By this point,
20:58he is still delusional enough
20:59to think he can take
21:00anything away from me.
21:01Julian and I
21:02never looked back.
21:03Years later,
21:04Liam still lives in delusion,
21:06refusing to face reality.
21:07He'll never realize
21:08as he lost far more
21:09than a bet.
21:10He lost my last chance,
21:11and the girl who once
21:12loved him wholeheartedly.
21:13Not a wife
21:14he could treat casually.
21:15He will never understand
21:16that my departure back then
21:17was never a momentary
21:18fit of pice,
21:19but utter despair
21:20after accumulating
21:21enough disappointment.
21:22The three years of no contact
21:24was never a test for him,
21:25but a release I granted myself,
21:27a ritual to bid
21:28a final farewell
21:29to the past.
21:29As for me,
21:30I have long bloomed
21:31gloriously in my own life,
21:33enjoying peace and tranquility
21:34year after year.
21:35I have a husband
21:35who loves me to the core,
21:36a mother-in-law
21:37who treats me
21:37as her own daughter,
21:38a pair of healthy
21:39and lovely children,
21:40a career I am passionate with,
21:41and all the happiness
21:42I could ever wish for.
21:43Later,
21:44I heard that Liam
21:45never remarried
21:45until his death.
21:46He spent his entire life
21:48trapped in that absurd bet
21:49and drowned in endless regret.
21:51He kept telling them
21:52those regret all his life,
21:54that he had only meant it
21:55as a joke back then,
21:56yet never thought he regret
21:57means absolutely nothing to me.
21:59There has never been
21:59a regret medicine
22:00in this world.
22:01Belated affection
22:02is cheaper than grass,
22:03and delayed regret
22:04is worth nothing at all.
22:05He will never know
22:06that he once firmly believed
22:07I could not live without him,
22:08but in truth,
22:09it was only after leaving him
22:10that I truly lived for myself
22:11for the first time.
22:13He will never understand
22:14that love is neither
22:15a gamble of winning or losing,
22:16nor a bargaining chip
22:18to show off to friends,
22:19let alone something
22:20to be taken for granted,
22:21consumed, or betrayed.
22:24He will never understand
22:25that true love
22:26is never a gamble.
22:27Many people have asked me
22:28if I ever hated Liam.
22:29I once did.
22:30I hated his arrogance,
22:32his infidelity,
22:33his sense of entitlement,
22:34and the way he destroyed
22:35all my hopes for love.
22:36But now I no longer
22:37hate him at all.
22:38It's not forgiveness,
22:39it's just that he's not worth it.
22:41He's long been
22:41a trivial passersby in my life.
22:43A stranger even his name
22:44is slipping from my mind.
22:45His ups and downs
22:46mean nothing to me now.
22:47My greatest fortune?
22:48The moment he signed
22:49the divorce papers,
22:50I never looked back
22:51or begged him to stay.
22:52I simply turned away firmly
22:53and headed for my own
22:54true happiness.
22:55Believe it,
22:56there is always someone
22:56who will hold you dearly,
22:58treasure your sincerity
22:59as a precious gem,
23:00and grant you all the preference
23:01and exceptions.
23:02May we dolls embrace
23:03the simple warmth
23:04of ordinary life
23:04amid triviatless daily routines,
23:06and live our own lives
23:07in Blomham with peace
23:08and tranquility year after year.
23:10And you can find yourself
23:10in the Hall of Fame.
