00:00Three years after Tessa Reed remarried Roman West, she found out she was pregnant.
00:04When he stumbled and drunk, she just told the housekeeper to heat up some hangover soup
00:08and left it on the table.
00:10From the moment the test turned positive, she learned to move around him,
00:13even when she found a smudge of unfamiliar lipstick.
00:16She quietly wiped it off with a tissue as if it had never existed.
00:20There was no storm left in her, just a flat, exhausted kind of numbness.
00:24By the time she went to tour a luxury postpartum recovery center,
00:27This is our most luxurious sweet 88 grand a month.
00:30A Mrs. West is staying here right now.
00:32She checked in less than four days after having her baby boy.
00:35Her husband's here every single day, all doting and handsome.
00:38Only thing is, his drive is a little much.
00:40She literally just gave birth and he's already back at it at night.
00:43You'll have to set boundaries with your man, Ms. Reed.
00:46But Tessa didn't hear a single word.
00:48Through the narrow glass panel in the door, her entire world had shrunk.
00:52To the man inside the suite, Roman West lounging on the couch.
00:55Congrats, Roman, another son.
00:57If Tessa's baby is a boy too, you'll have two sons.
01:00Roman's the real MVP.
01:02One wife at home, one on the side.
01:04Three years going strong, and I'd bet good money.
01:06Tessa has no idea.
01:08Roman's jaw tightened at that, his expression suddenly cooling.
01:12She doesn't, and you're not going to say a damn word to her.
01:14She's in her third trimester.
01:16Stress is off the table.
01:18We know, we know.
01:19We've been covering your ass for three years.
01:21But seriously, Roman, when are you going to tell her?
01:24After she gives birth, once the baby's here, Tessa won't walk away from me.
01:29Will it put you in a tough spot?
01:30Roman, I was never trying to take anything from her.
01:33After Ryan died, just being able to give you a child felt more than I deserved.
01:37I'm not asking for anything else.
01:39Roman shifted, sliding an arm around her shoulders.
01:42Elena, I promised I'd take care of you, and I will.
01:44I hate that you've had to sneak around for three years.
01:47Out in the hallway, Tessa stared at the same face he'd once known as cool, untouchable.
01:52Only now that face was soft with tenderness for someone else.
01:55Her lips twisted into a smile that was all teeth and no warmth.
01:59Tasted like rust on her tongue.
02:01He'd held a press conference, looked straight into the cameras,
02:04and promised he would never betray Tessa again.
02:07She liked fireworks, so on her birthday, he filled the night sky just for her.
02:11It wasn't until this exact moment that Tessa understood just how wrong she'd been.
02:15He'd lied to her three years ago, and three years later, he'd lied to her again.
02:19The realization hit so hard that for a second she couldn't breathe.
02:22Maybe the baby felt it too because her stomach suddenly clenched.
02:26Oh God, that hurts.
02:27Ms. Reed, are you okay? You're white as a sheet.
02:29Do you need to sit down? Should I call a doctor?
02:32Who's out there?
02:34As Tessa emerged from the clinic, the last person she wanted to see stood there.
02:38Roman West stood at the payment counter, unaware of the encounter to come.
02:42Tessa, are you really unwell?
02:43Yes, you pushed me to the ground yourself. Don't you remember?
02:47I'm sorry, I was too hasty then. Are you hurt?
02:49How is Elena's child?
02:51Very lucky. He is fine. Otherwise, a life would have been lost.
02:55You can't lose control like that again, okay? He is just a child.
02:59How could you lay hands on him?
03:00In your heart, am I really that kind of person?
03:02What if Elena intentionally rushed me? Would you believe me?
03:06Tessa, enough. Stop slandering her.
03:08It has been three years. Why are you still like this?
03:11Roman West, you said you agreed to divorce before.
03:13Does it still count?
03:15Tess, don't be like this. You are eight months pregnant.
03:18Why talk about divorce now?
03:19I was angry.
03:20Then don't take it seriously.
03:21I will not divorce you.
03:23Are you not worried about your son being called illegitimate?
03:26I just don't want to lose you.
03:27You are the only woman I have ever loved.
03:30My feelings for Elena are not love, but responsibility.
03:34Ryan was my best friend.
03:35He entrusted her to me before he died.
03:37I cannot just live like this.
03:39You know she has depression.
03:40Is the cure for depression sleeping with you and getting pregnant with your child?
03:45Roman, for her, what else will you sacrifice?
03:47The child is here now.
03:49Once she recovers, I will not touch her again.
03:52If this truly bothers you, we can give the child up for adoption.
03:54Are you serious, Roman?
03:56Are you really going to send me and your son away?
03:58I understand.
04:00I comprehend.
04:01I will take him and disappear.
04:02We will never appear before you again.
04:05Elena turned and fled her shoulders, trembling with every fragile step.
04:08Damn it.
04:09Roman, don't go.
04:10I'm sorry.
04:11I cannot risk anything happening to Elena.
04:13Roman tore free and left Tessa standing alone.
04:16Her heart shattered.
04:17She felt something deep inside her finally stop.
04:20No shattering, no explosion, just death.
04:22You can't let her go.
04:23Very well, I will let you go.
04:25You don't deserve to be my husband, nor the father of my child.
04:31Roman, I will disappear.
04:32I'll leave with the child.
04:34You'll never see us.
04:35Elena, stop.
04:36Stop.
04:37I won't let you do this.
04:38Are you threatening me now?
04:39You're insane.
04:40Elena's child is my son.
04:42I won't let anything happen to him.
04:45You want a divorce?
04:46Fine.
04:46I'm sick of these three years too.
04:48She stumbled back from the impact.
04:50Excruciating pain instantly struck.
04:52She fell heavily to the ground.
04:54The world instantly lost its color.
04:56Women are just jealous, always making a scene.
04:59Roman shouldn't have begged her back three years ago.
05:01Should have known this would happen.
05:03It's too late to regret now.
05:05It's been eight months already.
05:06Everyone chose to ignore her.
05:08Only her left an endless cold.
05:10Child, are you okay?
05:12For the child, she must stand up.
05:14Every step, a fight against despair.
05:16I need to go to the hospital.
05:17Now.
05:18She was taken to the ER.
05:20You are eight months pregnant.
05:22Be more careful.
05:23How did you fall?
05:24It was an accident.
05:25I fell.
05:26Is Mr. West with you?
05:27He always came with you.
05:28Shall I call him?
05:29She had nothing to say.
05:31Mr. West, this is Dr. Grant.
05:33Your wife is hospitalized.
05:34She fell.
05:36She told you to call, right?
05:37Elena's child is in critical care.
05:39Is she using our child to compete?
05:41Tell her, I'm not playing anymore.
05:43If Elena's child is harmed, I'll make her pay with hers.
05:47His words chilling to the bone.
05:49It's okay.
05:50She needs to rise.
05:51She needs to face it.
05:52Dr. Grant, if I want to induce labor now.
05:54Mrs. West, I don't know what happened between you.
05:58But you are already 32 weeks.
06:00The baby is almost due.
06:02Inducing labor now is bad for both of you.
06:04You'd end a life before it even began.
06:07Cold floor, cold heart.
06:08She felt the new life stirring.
06:10I understand.
06:11Thank you.
06:12The doctor left her to ponder.
06:14This child is mine.
06:15From now on, he'll have nothing to do with Roman.
06:17I will divorce him.
06:19I will leave with the child.
06:20Raise him alone.
06:24Tessa returned home alone.
06:25Packing her bags.
06:26Only after she packed everything.
06:28Mrs. West, what happened?
06:30Excuse me.
06:31What did you say?
06:32This morning, Mr. West called.
06:34He just left my office.
06:35In that case, please proceed quickly, Mr. Wade.
06:38She hung up the phone and opened Instagram.
06:40On the screen was a photo of Roman washing Elena's feet.
06:44The caption read,
06:45Only deep love can bear children for her.
06:47He once said he was a germaphobe and willing to touch my feet.
06:50It turned out his germaphobia was only for me.
06:53Rage surged within her.
06:55She grabbed the scissors.
06:56The first cut slashed his face.
06:58She kept cutting until the photo was in pieces.
07:01She tore the remaining pieces.
07:02Then she threw the pieces towards the bedroom door.
07:05At that very moment, the door opened.
07:07Roman, please talk calmly with Mrs. Reed, okay?
07:10Don't argue with her because of me.
07:12She slipped past Roman.
07:13Towards the guest room, as if this room had been waiting for her.
07:17Roman placed the broken frame, then turned to Tessa.
07:20I had intended for Elena to stay longer at the rehab center.
07:23But since you already know, I can't leave her there alone.
07:27We are lucky.
07:27The baby's fine.
07:28Elena knows you didn't mean it.
07:30She has forgiven you.
07:31Tessa promised me, don't harm the baby again.
07:34Tessa looked at him without a word.
07:35Roman took out thick documents and handed them to Tessa.
07:39Roman West's name was boldly signed.
07:41Tessa Elena isn't trying to take anything from you.
07:43She only wants the child to be rightfully in the West family.
07:47So I thought we could finalize the divorce first.
07:49Once the child is officially registered, we will remarry.
07:53A month at most, I swear.
07:55He stepped forward as if to embrace Tessa.
07:57Tessa leaned back, avoiding his embrace.
07:59Go show Elena.
08:00I'm sure she will be thrilled.
08:02This is my Tessa.
08:03Always so generous, so kind.
08:05He turned and almost ran out of the bedroom.
08:07Tessa watched his back disappear.
08:09Bitter smile touched her lips.
08:11Roman West, did you never think?
08:13When a woman no longer cares what you do, it's because she no longer loves you?
08:19That night, Roman didn't return to the bedroom.
08:22At 2 a.m., a fierce leg cramp struck.
08:24Roman, my leg is cramping.
08:26Before she finished speaking, a woman's voice came through.
08:29From the receiver, everything was clear.
08:31The rustle of sheets, Elena's soft laughter, and Roman's low voice.
08:34Every sound was a blow.
08:36Her heart torn apart.
08:37The leg pain persisted, but the heartache was worse.
08:40She stared at the ceiling, thoughts drifting back.
08:43He once said if he knew pregnancy was so hard, he wouldn't want a child.
08:47Now those hands were on someone else.
08:49She admitted she lost, but wouldn't lose herself.
08:52That night was her turning point.
08:53She started counting down, waiting for the divorce papers.
08:56She booked a one-way ticket, planning a new life without Roman.
08:59Oh, Roman, I'm so happy.
09:01Finally marrying you, even if it's just for a month.
09:04I've wronged you.
09:05You shouldn't have suffered.
09:06I promise from now on, I'll care for you and our son.
09:09Roman, I love you so much.
09:11I love you too.
09:12Roman and Elena no longer hid.
09:13They kissed by the restaurant's window.
09:16Evening, Tessa sat by the pool.
09:18The sun set, her legs in the water.
09:20A picture book on her lap, she habitually read.
09:22She was relaxed.
09:23Tomorrow she'd get divorced.
09:25Tonight was her last night in this mansion.
09:27Yet even that piece seemed hard to keep.
09:30Look at you, Tessa.
09:31Tessa looked up.
09:32How romantic.
09:33Reading, swimming, enjoying the sunset.
09:36You're getting divorced tomorrow, yet so relaxed.
09:39Tessa slowly closed the book.
09:40Elena smiled.
09:42Oh, by the way, that day you called Roman.
09:44I let him answer.
09:45I just wanted you to hear how well we click.
09:48I love him, and he loves me.
09:50He said you were stiff.
09:51Too boring, couldn't stand it.
09:53Tessa clutched the book, her only reaction.
09:55Tomorrow is my baby's full moon party.
09:58You'll come, won't you?
09:59To support your little nephew.
10:00After all, you're his dear aunt.
10:04Since when does being pregnant mean you can't swim?
10:09She thinks just because she's carrying my child,
10:11she can disobey my orders.
10:13Come on, Lena.
10:14Let's go inside.
10:15If she loses the baby, that's on her.
10:16She did this to herself.
10:18She remembered his red eyes,
10:20promised to protect her and their child.
10:22Now he pushed her into the cold pool,
10:24leaving her to fend for herself.
10:27Ma'am, please, you should try to find it.
10:29You are almost full term.
10:31If you stay in there, you might get hurt.
10:33Despite the pain, she dived into the water.
10:36She searched for the pendant,
10:38her only hope in this cold world.
10:40She surfaced for air,
10:42then dove back into the deep.
10:44It's ten o'clock.
10:46Xiao will be in big trouble.
10:47We can't just drag her out.
10:48You heard, Mr. West.
10:50If we disobey him, we'll lose our jobs.
10:53As dawn broke, the water grew colder.
10:55She kept diving for the pendant.
10:57Her unborn child kicked violently.
11:00She felt liquid flowing down.
11:02Get her out now and call Mr. West.
11:04The guards pulled her out
11:05and tried to reach her husband.
11:07What is it, Romans, with our son?
11:09He's busy.
11:10He already told you.
11:12She can't leave without the pendant.
11:14The call was disconnected,
11:16leaving them to despair.
11:17Screw this.
11:18She and the baby will die?
11:19The guards knew they had to act
11:21against their master's wishes.
11:23Stay with us, Mom.
11:24You won't die like this, okay?
11:26She imagined Roman and Elena
11:28enjoying a perfect family night.
11:30While she and her baby bled,
11:32hanging by a thread in the dark,
11:34they rushed her to the emergency room,
11:36a race against time.
11:38Pain gripped her like a fist.
11:39Her vision blurred, her hearing faded.
11:42Possible placental abruption.
11:44Massive hemorrhage.
11:45Save my baby.
11:46Please save my baby.
11:47You are going to be okay.
11:49We will do everything we can.
11:51Where's the family?
11:52We need a signature call the husband.
11:54The guard tried to call Roman again,
11:56hoping for a response.
11:58The call was disconnected.
12:00His anger boiled over.
12:02Doctor, our boss isn't answering.
12:04He's very busy.
12:05Busy, he repeated his wife.
12:08His critical may need C-section.
12:10What is he so busy with
12:11that he can't answer his phone?
12:15After Snow White's mother passed,
12:17her father married a new queen.
12:19Enough of this childish nonsense.
12:21The book fell with a splash.
12:23Pages soaked and ink spread.
12:25Are you deaf?
12:26Didn't you hear me?
12:27Go pick up the book.
12:28I won't pick up anything.
12:29What are you going to do?
12:31If you don't pick it up,
12:32don't blame me for what happens.
12:33Roman West emerged from the villa.
12:35Roman is here now.
12:37This will teach her a lesson.
12:38The silver pendant sank swiftly.
12:40Read don't that's my amulet.
12:42Roman blessed it for my son.
12:44What are you talking about?
12:45You threw it yourself.
12:46Tessa, what have you done?
12:48Roman, I cannot stay here anymore.
12:50She wishes my son to die.
12:51She said he doesn't deserve it
12:53and should have died already.
12:55She called him a bastard child.
12:57Did you really say those things?
12:58You agreed to the divorce
13:00who gave Elena peace.
13:01Was this all a lie?
13:03I never said those words.
13:04She threw the amulet herself.
13:06The priest said no water.
13:07Elena would never risk our son.
13:10What is wrong with you?
13:11Aren't you afraid of karma?
13:12You curse our child for hers.
13:14You don't know what she is like.
13:16She hurt your child.
13:17To frame me a piece of metal is nothing.
13:20Enough.
13:21Shut up.
13:21Roman's hand struck Tessa's cheek.
13:23Tessa stumbled losing balance.
13:25Her eyes showed shock and despair.
13:27She plunged into the cold water.
13:28The icy water consumed her.
13:30A sharp pain shot through her.
13:32Don't act, Tessa.
13:33You can swim.
13:34Find the amulet yourself.
13:36Hey, come here.
13:36Two guards ran towards them.
13:38Watch her.
13:39She stays in there until she finds the amulet.
13:42If she fails, she never comes up.
13:44Sir Mrs. West is pregnant.
13:45What if the baby is harmed?
13:47Perhaps we should let it go.
13:49What if she has a miscarriage?
13:52At the full moon party, Roman learned the truth about his lost son.
13:56She was dressed to the nines holding her trophy.
13:58He couldn't accept this cruel reality.
14:00A hint of malice flashed in her eyes.
14:02The child became her new bargaining chip.
14:05She would escalate using the child to control Roman.
14:07Tessa, who escaped death, put on her farewell attire.
14:10A resolute severance letter.
14:12She signed her name expressionlessly.
14:14All the past will come to an end.
14:16She was ready for a complete farewell.
14:18She took one last look at her secretly placed daughter.
14:21This was her only concern.
14:23Despite all reluctance, she had to let go.
14:25For her and for herself.
14:26Roman rushed to the hospital like a madman.
14:29He knew it was all too late.
14:30Hope waited behind the door.
14:32Only an empty hospital room remained.
14:34A resolute severance letter.
14:36All she left was her resolve.
14:37He had completely lost her.
14:39Tessa disappeared into the night.
14:41A complete farewell, no turning back.
14:45Three years after Tessa Reed remarried Roman West,
14:48she found out she was pregnant.
14:50When he stumbled and drunk,
14:51she just told the housekeeper to heat up some hangover soup
14:54and left it on the table.
14:55From the moment the test turned positive,
14:57she learned to move around him.
14:59Even when she found a smudge of unfamiliar lipstick,
15:01she quietly wiped it off with a tissue
15:03as if it had never existed.
15:05There was no storm left in her,
15:07just a flat, exhausted kind of numbness.
15:09By the time she went to tour
15:10a luxury postpartum recovery center,
15:13this is our most luxurious sweet 88 grand a month.
15:15A Mrs. West is staying here right now.
15:17She checked in less than four days
15:19after having her baby boy.
15:20Her husband's here every single day,
15:22all doting and handsome.
15:24Only thing is, his drive is a little much.
15:26She literally just gave birth
15:27and he's already back at it at night.
15:29You'll have to set boundaries with your man, Ms. Reed.
15:31But Tessa didn't hear a single word.
15:33Through the narrow glass panel in the door,
15:35her entire world had shrunk.
15:37To the man inside the suite,
15:39Roman West lounging on the couch.
15:41Congrats, Roman, another son.
15:42If Tessa's baby is a boy too,
15:44you'll have two sons.
15:46Roman's the real MVP.
15:47One wife at home,
15:48one on the side.
15:49Three years going strong,
15:51and I'd bet good money.
15:52Tessa has no idea.
15:54Roman's jaw tightened at that,
15:55his expression suddenly cooling.
15:57She doesn't,
15:58and you're not going to say a damn word to her.
16:00She's in her third trimester.
16:01Stress is off the table.
16:03We know, we know.
16:04We've been covering your ass for three years.
16:07But seriously, Roman,
16:08when are you going to tell her?
16:10After she gives birth,
16:11once the baby's here,
16:12Tessa won't walk away from me.
16:14Will it put you in a tough spot?
16:16Roman, I was never trying to take anything from her.
16:18After Ryan died,
16:19just being able to give you a child
16:21felt more than I deserved.
16:22I'm not asking for anything else.
16:24Roman shifted,
16:25sliding an arm around her shoulders.
16:27Elena,
16:27I promised I'd take care of you,
16:29and I will.
16:30I hate that you've had to sneak around for three years.
16:32You don't deserve that.
16:33Out in the hallway,
16:34Tessa stared at the same face
16:36he'd once known as cool, untouchable.
16:38Only now that face was soft with tenderness for someone else.
16:41Her lips twisted into a smile
16:42that was all teeth and no warmth.
16:44Tasted like rust on her tongue.
16:46He'd held a press conference,
16:48looked straight into the cameras,
16:49and promised he would never betray Tessa again.
16:52She liked fireworks,
16:53so on her birthday,
16:54he filled the night sky just for her.
16:56It wasn't until this exact moment
16:58that Tessa understood just how wrong she'd been.
17:00He'd lied to her three years ago,
17:02and three years later,
17:03he'd lied to her again.
17:04The realization hit so hard
17:06that for a second she couldn't breathe.
17:08Maybe the baby felt it too
17:09because her stomach suddenly clenched.
17:11Oh God, that hurts.
17:13Ms. Reed, are you okay?
17:14You're white as a sheep.
17:15Do you need to sit down?
17:16Should I call a doctor?
17:17Who's out there?
17:19As Tessa emerged from the clinic,
17:21the last person she wanted to see stood there.
17:23Roman West stood at the payment counter
17:25unaware of the encounter to come.
17:27Tessa, are you really unwell?
17:29Yes, you pushed me to the ground yourself.
17:31Don't you remember?
17:32I am sorry, I was too hasty then.
17:34Are you hurt?
17:35How is Elena's child?
17:36Very lucky.
17:37He is fine.
17:38Otherwise, a life would have been lost.
17:40You can't lose control like that again, okay?
17:42He is just a child.
17:44How could you lay hands on him?
17:45In your heart, am I really that kind of person?
17:48What if Elena intentionally rushed me?
17:50Would you believe me?
17:51Tessa, enough.
17:52Stop slandering her.
17:54It has been three years.
17:55Why are you still like this?
17:56Roman West, you said you agreed to divorce before.
17:59Does it still count?
18:00Tess, don't be like this.
18:02You are eight months pregnant.
18:03Why talk about divorce now?
18:05I was angry.
18:05Then don't take it seriously.
18:07I will not divorce you.
18:08Are you not worried about your son being called illegitimate?
18:11I just don't want to lose you.
18:13You are the only woman I have ever loved.
18:16My feelings for Elena are not love,
18:18but responsibility.
18:20Ryan was my best friend.
18:21He entrusted her to me before he died.
18:23I cannot just live like this.
18:25You know she has depression.
18:26Is the cure for depression sleeping with you
18:28and getting pregnant with your child?
18:30Roman, for her, what else will you sacrifice?
18:32The child is here now.
18:34Once she recovers, I will not touch her again.
18:37If this truly bothers you,
18:38we can give the child up for adoption.
18:40Are you serious, Roman?
18:42Are you really going to send me and your son away?
18:44I understand.
18:45I comprehend.
18:46I will take him and disappear.
18:48We will never appear before you again.
18:50Elena turned and fled her shoulders,
18:52trembling with every fragile step.
18:54Damn it.
18:55Roman, don't go.
18:56I'm sorry.
18:56I cannot risk anything happening to Elena.
18:59Roman tore free and left Tessa standing alone.
19:01Her heart shattered.
19:02She felt something deep inside her finally stop.
19:05No shattering, no explosion, just death.
19:07You can't let her go.
19:08Very well, I will let you go.
19:10You don't deserve to be my husband,
19:12nor the father of my child.
19:16Roman, I will disappear.
19:18I'll leave with the child.
19:19You'll never see us.
19:21Elena, stop.
19:22Stop.
19:22I won't let you do this.
19:24Are you threatening me now?
19:25You're insane.
19:26Elena's child is my son.
19:27I won't let anything happen to him.
19:30You want a divorce?
19:31Fine.
19:32I'm sick of these three years too.
19:33She stumbled back from the impact.
19:36Excruciating pain instantly struck.
19:38She fell heavily to the ground.
19:39The world instantly lost its color.
19:42Women are just jealous, always making a scene.
19:45Roman shouldn't have begged her back three years ago.
19:47Should have known this would happen.
19:48It's too late to regret now.
19:50It's been eight months already.
19:52Everyone chose to ignore her.
19:54Only her left an endless cold.
19:56Child, are you okay?
19:57For the child, she must stand up.
19:59Every step, a fight against despair.
20:01I need to go to the hospital.
20:03Now.
20:04She was taken to the ER.
20:05You are eight months pregnant.
20:07Be more careful.
20:08How did you fall?
20:10It was an accident.
20:11I fell.
20:11Is Mr. West with you?
20:13He always came with you.
20:14Shall I call him?
20:15She had nothing to say.
20:16Mr. West, this is Dr. Grant.
20:18Your wife is hospitalized.
20:20She fell.
20:21She told you to call, right?
20:23Elena's child is in critical care.
20:25Is she using our child to compete?
20:27Tell her, I'm not playing anymore.
20:29If Elena's child is harmed, I'll make her pay with hers.
20:32His words chilling to the bone.
20:34It's okay.
20:35She needs to rise.
20:36She needs to face it.
20:37Dr. Grant, if I want to induce labor now.
20:40Mrs. West, I don't know what happened between you, but you are already 32 weeks.
20:46The baby is almost due.
20:48Inducing labor now is bad for both of you.
20:50You'd end a life before it even began.
20:52Cold floor, cold heart.
20:54She felt the new life stirring.
20:56I understand.
20:57Thank you.
20:57The doctor left her to ponder.
20:59This child is mine.
21:00From now on, he'll have nothing to do with Roman.
21:03I will divorce him.
21:04I will leave with the child.
21:06Raise him alone.
21:09Tessa returned home alone, packing her bags, only after she packed everything.
21:14Mrs. West, what happened?
21:16Excuse me.
21:17What did you say?
21:18This morning, Mr. West called.
21:19He just left my office.
21:21In that case, please proceed quickly, Mr. Wade.
21:23She hung up the phone and opened Instagram.
21:26On the screen was a photo of Roman washing Elena's feet.
21:29The caption read, only deep love can bear children for her.
21:32He once said he was a germaphobe and willing to touch my feet.
21:36It turned out his germaphobia was only for me.
21:39Rage surged within her.
21:40She grabbed the scissors.
21:42The first cut slashed his face.
21:43She kept cutting until the photo was in pieces.
21:46She tore the remaining pieces.
21:48Then she threw the pieces towards the bedroom door.
21:51At that very moment, the door opened.
21:53Roman, please talk calmly with Mrs. Reed, okay?
21:55Don't argue with her because of me.
21:57She slipped past Roman, towards the guest room,
22:00as if this room had been waiting for her.
22:03Roman placed the broken frame, then turned to Tessa.
22:06I had intended for Elena to stay longer at the rehab center.
22:09But since you already know, I can't leave her there alone.
22:12We are lucky.
22:13The baby's fine.
22:14Elena knows you didn't mean it.
22:15She has forgiven you.
22:16Tessa promised me, don't harm the baby again.
22:19Tessa looked at him without a word.
22:21Roman took out thick documents and handed them to Tessa.
22:24Roman West's name was boldly signed.
22:26Tessa Elena isn't trying to take anything from you.
22:29She only wants the child to be rightfully in the West family.
22:32So I thought we could finalize the divorce first.
22:35Once the child is officially registered, we will remarry.
22:38A month at most, I swear.
22:40He stepped forward as if to embrace Tessa.
22:42Tessa leaned back, avoiding his embrace.
22:45Go show Elena.
22:46I'm sure she will be thrilled.
22:47This is my Tessa.
22:48Always so generous, so kind.
22:50He turned and almost ran out of the bedroom.
22:53Tessa watched his back disappear.
22:54Bitter smile touched her lips.
22:56Roman West, did you never think?
22:58When a woman no longer cares what you do, it's because she no longer loves you?
23:04That night, Roman didn't return to the bedroom.
23:07At 2 a.m., a fierce leg cramp struck.
23:10Roman, my leg is cramping.
23:11Before she finished speaking, a woman's voice came through.
23:14From the receiver, everything was clear.
23:16The rustle of sheets, Elena's soft laughter, and Roman's low voice.
23:20Every sound was a blow.
23:21Her heart torn apart.
23:22The leg pain persisted, but the heartache was worse.
23:25She stared at the ceiling, thoughts drifting back.
23:28He once said if he knew pregnancy was so hard, he wouldn't want a child.
23:32Now those hands were on someone else.
23:34She admitted she lost, but wouldn't lose herself.
23:37That night was her turning point.
23:39She started counting down, waiting for the divorce papers.
23:42She booked a one-way ticket, planning a new life without Roman.
23:45Oh, Roman, I'm so happy.
23:47Finally marrying you, even if it's just for a month.
23:50I've wronged you.
23:50You shouldn't have suffered.
23:52I promise from now on, I'll care for you and our son.
23:55Roman, I love you so much.
23:56I love you too.
23:57Roman and Elena no longer hid.
23:59They kissed by the restaurant's window.
24:01Evening, Tessa sat by the pool.
24:03The sun set, her legs in the water.
24:05A picture book on her lap, she habitually read.
24:08She was relaxed.
24:09Tomorrow she'd get divorced.
24:10Tonight was her last night in this mansion.
24:12Yet even that piece seemed hard to keep.
24:15Well, look at you, Tessa.
24:16Tessa looked up.
24:18How romantic.
24:19Reading, swimming, enjoying the sunset.
24:21You're getting divorced tomorrow, yet so relaxed.
24:24Tessa slowly closed the book.
24:26Elena smiled.
24:27Oh, by the way, that day you called Roman.
24:30I let him answer.
24:31I just wanted you to hear how well we click.
24:33I love him and he loves me.
24:35He said you were stiff.
24:37Too boring, couldn't stand it.
24:38Tessa clutched the book.
24:39Her only reaction.
24:40Tomorrow is my baby's full moon party.
24:43You'll come, won't you?
24:44To support your little nephew.
24:46After all, you're his dear aunt.
24:50Since when does being pregnant mean you can't swim?
24:54She thinks just because she's carrying my child,
24:56she can disobey my orders.
24:58Come on, Lena.
24:59Let's go inside.
25:00If she loses the baby, that's on her.
25:02She did this to herself.
25:03She remembered his red eyes,
25:05promised to protect her and their child.
25:07Now he pushed her into the cold pool,
25:10leaving her to fend for herself.
25:12Ma'am, please, you should try to find it.
25:14You are almost full term.
25:16If you stay in there, you might get hurt.
25:19Despite the pain, she dived into the water.
25:22She searched for the pendant,
25:23her only hope in this cold world.
25:26She surfaced for air,
25:27then dove back into the deep.
25:29It's 10 o'clock.
25:31Xiao be in big trouble.
25:33We can't just drag her out.
25:34You heard Mr. West.
25:35If we disobey him, we'll lose our jobs.
25:38As dawn broke, the water grew colder.
25:40She kept diving for the pendant.
25:43Her unborn child kicked violently.
25:45She felt liquid flowing down.
25:47Get her out now and call Mr. West.
25:49The guards pulled her out
25:51and tried to reach her husband.
25:53What is it, Romans, with our son?
25:55He's busy.
25:56He already told you.
25:57She can't leave without the pendant.
25:59The call was disconnected,
26:01leaving them to despair.
26:03Screw this.
26:03She and the baby will die.
26:05The guards knew they had to act
26:07against their master's wishes.
26:08Stay with us, Mom.
26:10You won't die like this, okay?
26:12She imagined Roman and Elena
26:13enjoying a perfect family night
26:16while she and her baby bled,
26:18hanging by a thread in the dark.
26:19They rushed her to the emergency room,
26:21a race against time.
26:23Pain gripped her like a fist.
26:25Her vision blurred, her hearing faded.
26:27Possible placental abruption.
26:29Massive hemorrhage.
26:30Save my baby.
26:31Please save my baby.
26:33You are going to be okay.
26:34We will do everything we can.
26:36Where's the family?
26:37We need a signature call the husband.
26:40The guard tried to call Roman again,
26:42hoping for a response.
26:43The call was disconnected.
26:45His anger boiled over.
26:47Doctor, our boss is answering.
26:50He's very busy.
26:51Busy, he repeated his wife.
26:53His critical may need C-section.
26:55What is he so busy with
26:57that he can't answer his phone?
27:01After Snow White's mother passed,
27:03her father married a new queen.
27:05Enough of this childish nonsense.
27:07The book fell with a splash.
27:09Pages soaked and ink spread.
27:10Are you deaf?
27:11Didn't you hear me?
27:12Go pick up the book.
27:13I won't pick up anything.
27:15What are you going to do?
27:16If you don't pick it up,
27:17don't blame me for what happens.
27:19Roman West emerged from the villa.
27:21Roman is here now.
27:22This will teach her a lesson.
27:23The silver pendant sank swiftly.
27:26Reed, don't.
27:26That's my amulet.
27:28Roman blessed it for my son.
27:29What are you talking about?
27:31You threw it yourself.
27:32Tessa, what have you done?
27:33Roman, I cannot stay here anymore.
27:35She wishes my son to die.
27:37She said he doesn't deserve it
27:38and should have died already.
27:40She called him a bastard child.
27:42Did you really say those things?
27:44You agreed to the divorce
27:45who gave Elena peace.
27:47Was this all a lie?
27:48I never said those words.
27:50She threw the amulet herself.
27:51The priest said no water.
27:53Elena would never risk our son.
27:55What is wrong with you?
27:56Aren't you afraid of karma?
27:58You curse our child for hers.
28:00You don't know what she is like.
28:01She hurt your child.
28:03To frame me a piece of metal is nothing.
28:05Enough.
28:06Shut up.
28:07Roman's hand struck Tessa's cheek.
28:08Tessa stumbled losing balance.
28:10Her eyes showed shock and despair.
28:12She plunged into the cold water.
28:14The icy water consumed her.
28:16A sharp pain shot through her.
28:17Don't act, Tessa.
28:19You can swim.
28:20Find the amulet yourself.
28:21Hey, come here.
28:22Two guards ran towards them.
28:24Watch her.
28:24She stays in there until she finds the amulet.
28:27If she fails, she never comes up.
28:29Sir Mrs. West is pregnant.
28:31What if the baby is harmed?
28:32Perhaps we should let it go.
28:34What if she has a miscarriage?
28:37At the full moon party, Roman learned the truth about his lost son.
28:41She was dressed to the nines holding her trophy.
28:43He couldn't accept this cruel reality.
28:46A hint of malice flashed in her eyes.
28:48The child became her new bargaining chip.
28:50She would escalate using the child to control Roman.
28:53Tessa, who escaped death, put on her farewell attire.
28:56A resolute severance letter.
28:57She signed her name expressionlessly.
29:00All the past will come to an end.
29:01She was ready for a complete farewell.
29:03She took one last look at her secretly placed daughter.
29:06This was her only concern.
29:08Despite all reluctance, she had to let go.
29:10For her and for herself.
29:12Roman rushed to the hospital like a madman.
29:14He knew it was all too late.
29:16Hope waited behind the door.
29:18Only an empty hospital room remained.
29:19A resolute severance letter.
29:21All she left was her resolve.
29:23He had completely lost her.
29:24Tessa disappeared into the night.
29:27A complete farewell, no turning back.
29:30What did you just say?
29:32Say it again?
29:33The doctor said Mrs. West stayed in the water too long.
29:35It triggered contractions.
29:37After her water broke, the baby didn't come out in time.
29:39The cord got compressed.
29:41The baby couldn't breathe.
29:42They called it death by oxygen deprivation.
29:45No!
29:45No, that's bullshit.
29:47You're lying.
29:48She put you up to this, didn't she?
29:50Tessa's mad at me.
29:51So you're teaming up to screw with my head.
29:53She wants me to feel guilty.
29:55Wants me to hurt.
29:56Is that it?
29:57Put her on the phone.
29:58Right now.
29:59Let me talk to her.
30:01What's going on, Roman?
30:02Did something happen to Tessa?
30:03You look like you've seen a ghost.
30:05Don't tell me she called to threaten you again.
30:07Mr. West, I swear I'm not lying.
30:09After they brought her out of surgery, Mrs. West left the hospital.
30:12We don't know where she went, but before she left, she gave me something to deliver to you.
30:16I'm almost at the hotel.
30:22Where is she?
30:23Is she still at the hospital?
30:25What did she tell you to give me?
30:27This, sir.
30:28She said it was for you.
30:29What is that?
30:30I don't know, but it looks bad.
30:31I've seen something like that before.
30:33At my grandma's funeral.
30:34It looks exactly like the urn they used for her ashes.
30:37Whose ashes is that?
30:39It's not Tessa's, right?
30:41Whose ashes?
30:42Was this their baby?
30:43The child he'd never even held?
30:44Had Tessa really cremated their child and sent the remains to him on Elena's son's big day?
30:49Did she hate him that much?
30:51What the hell kind of sick joke is this?
30:53Who sends that to a party?
30:55Roman, it has to be fake.
30:57There's no way Tessa lost the baby at nine months.
30:59She must know you'd blame yourself.
31:01She's doing this to mess with your head.
31:04I just don't understand what she's thinking, sending something like this to my son's celebration.
31:09Does she want to curse him?
31:10Enough.
31:20A chorus of gagging broke out around him.
31:22Dude, what the hell?
31:24Roman, you can't just eat ashes.
31:26Man, we get that you're grieving.
31:27But this is messed up.
31:29Only Elena stared, eyes fixed on his face, waiting.
31:31This is flour.
31:33It's not ashes, it's flour.
31:35He snatched up the urn and hurled it.
31:42Holy shit.
31:43His right, it's flour.
31:44Jesus.
31:45Scared the life out of me.
31:46Relief swept through the room in a noisy wave.
31:49False alarm, thank God.
31:50I thought we were about to witness.
31:52Looks like Tessa's messing with you again.
31:54But man, that's one hell of a prank.
31:56Who curses their own kid like that?
31:58So that means your baby's fine, right?
32:00We can still go ahead with the party.
32:02In Elena's arms, the baby shifted.
32:04Her heart, on the other hand, dropped like a stone.
32:07Tessa's lying to me.
32:08When she left the hospital, was she holding a baby?
32:11I don't know, sir.
32:12I swear I didn't know there was flour in there.
32:15All right, this circus is over.
32:16Let's head in.
32:17Well, start the dinner.
32:19Oh, and this Mr. West.
32:20Mrs. West asked me to give you this too.
32:23Roman froze at the sight of it.
32:24That's a divorce certificate.
32:26Someone blurted out,
32:27It's real, it's actually a divorce certificate.
32:30Roman, you finally divorced Tessa.
32:33We can finally get married.
32:35His pulse thundered in his ears.
32:37Give that to me.
32:38Where are you going?
32:39The party's about to start.
32:41I'm going to find Tessa.
32:43She just gave birth.
32:44You're going to her.
32:45Today.
32:46On our son's full month celebration.
32:49You're seriously going to ditch.
32:51I'm sorry, Elena.
32:53Tessa went into labor early because of me.
32:56He started toward the doors.
32:57Elena's heart lurched.
32:58The child let out a piercing wail.
33:00The cry sliced through the hall raw and panicked.
33:03Roman, look.
33:04You should stay with Elena.
33:06Exactly.
33:06It's his first big day.
33:08Roman's foot hovered over the threshold.
33:10Elena stood there clutching their son.
33:12Okay, I won't go.
33:13I'll stay.
33:14I'll stay with you both.
33:15He exhaled long and slow.
33:18The airport was colder than she expected.
33:21When the plane lifted off,
33:22the city dropped away.
33:24The baby's lashes cast soft shadows on her cheeks.
33:27By now, Roman had to have received the urn
33:29and the divorce papers.
33:30No claim of his on her child.
33:32She would carry her mother's name, Joy Reed.
33:35Life that was hers alone,
33:37and it would be a happy one.
33:39When the plane touched down,
33:40the doors opened to a different sky.
33:43As Tessa wheeled her carrion,
33:44she spotted them instantly through the glass.
33:46Her father stood ramrod straight.
33:48Her mother clutched his arm.
33:50Mom, Dad.
33:51Why, Miss Tessa, it's been too long.
33:53Oh, sweetheart, look at you.
33:55You're all skin and bones.
33:57I'll make sure he pays.
33:58And this, this is our granddaughter.
34:02Tessa shifted the blanket back just enough.
34:05God, she's beautiful.
34:07She's staying with us.
34:10Don't call us Grandma.
34:12We're her grandparents, period.
34:14Thank you, thank you, both of you.
34:16It's okay, baby.
34:18You're home.
34:19Let's go.
34:20Let's get you out of here.
34:22Yeah, let's go home.
34:23She followed them out to the curb.
34:26As the car pulled away,
34:27she looked out at the new city
34:28and let out a breath.
34:30She felt she'd been holding for years.
34:32As for Roman West,
34:33he could go straight to hell.
34:35Back in the hotel,
34:37the celebration wound down.
34:38Elena handed the baby to the nanny
34:40and hurried after him.
34:41The divorce certificate was real.
34:43The marriage was legally dead.
34:45Soon enough, she'd be Mrs. West,
34:47not just in bed.
34:48Though they reached the hospital,
34:50Roman strode straight to the nurse's station.
34:52Excuse me,
34:53do you know where Tessa Reed is?
34:55You're Roman West, right?
34:56Good, ask me.
34:58Where is she?
34:58She came in last night?
34:59I know exactly who she is.
35:01And I'm guessing that makes you the other woman.
35:04Sad not crap facts
35:05everyone in this hospital knows.
35:07Mrs. Reed came in hemorrhaging
35:09you ignored every single call.
35:11The baby's already been born.
35:12You showing up now,
35:14just a little late.
35:15My phone died on its own.
35:17I didn't know.
35:18I need to see her.
35:20Where is she?
35:21Where's the baby?
35:22MS Reed left us for the baby.
35:24I heard the baby was stillborn.
35:25It was a girl.
35:26Roman stood alone in the empty hallway.
35:28His heart crushed by regret and despair.
35:32The nurse turned on her heel and walked away.
35:35No other word.
35:36Roman refused to accept it.
35:38He tore down corridor checking.
35:40He yanked curtains, opened doors.
35:42He fumbled phone, dialing, call failed.
35:45Cannot send messages.
35:46She shut him out completely.
35:48Maybe she went home.
35:49She has to be exhausted.
35:51They burst through the door.
35:53Has Mrs. West come back?
35:54Did she come home at all?
35:55No, sir.
35:56We haven't seen her.
35:57He took stairs, door open.
35:58First thing he saw?
36:00Suitcase.
36:00Inside, Tessa's clothes, baby stuff, makeup, toothbrush, still there.
36:05Didn't look like she ran away.
36:06She had a plan to return.
36:08Roman's throat tightened.
36:09If not here, not at hospital.
36:11Where the hell was she?
36:13Find her.
36:13Check airports, stations.
36:15Don't care cost.
36:16Just find her.
36:17Roman didn't sleep that night.
36:18Every creak, he looked up.
36:20Across the hall, Elena seethed.
36:22She pinched baby harder.
36:23Roman, he won't stop.
36:25I don't know what to do.
36:26Then let the nanny handle it.
36:27Grimming drives me crazy.
36:29Are you serious?
36:30I get you're upset about Tessa.
36:31What about our son?
36:33I'm sorry.
36:34I just...
36:35He missed Tessa so much.
36:36Sir, should we drain the pool?
36:38Blood.
36:38It's starting to smell.
36:39What blood?
36:40Pool outside.
36:41Tessa lost blood.
36:42It turned the whole thing red.
36:44Roman rushed out to backyard.
36:46Pool, one sparkling blue, stained murky, rusted red.
36:49Dark patches on the grass.
36:51He stopped dead.
36:52Does all of this hurt?
36:53All Tessas?
36:54Yes, sir.
36:55Why not clean it sooner?
36:56Why leave it for him to see?
36:58Mrs. Reed left in a hurry.
37:00We didn't get to the pool yet.
37:01Stop calling her Mrs. Reed.
37:03And don't call me Miss Cole.
37:04From now on, I'm the lady.
37:06So address me as Mrs. West.
37:08Understood?
37:09Understood.
37:10Good.
37:10Go get a crew.
37:11Have this cleaned up.
37:12Drain it.
37:13Scrub the tiles.
37:14No single stain left.
37:15They moved.
37:16Called the team.
37:17Roman stood rooted to spot.
37:19Exposing blood streak tiles.
37:21Every smear reminded him.
37:22Water gone.
37:23Silver flashed.
37:24Hold up.
37:25He climbed out.
37:26Holding object.
37:27We found this silver bracelet.
37:29Mr. West, is this yours?
37:32Roman turns the bracelet over.
37:34He recognized it instantly.
37:36Hey, come here.
37:37Yes, sir.
37:38That night by the pool, did my wife really retrieve something from the water?
37:42An amulet or something?
37:44No, sir.
37:45Mrs. Reed found nothing.
37:46The answer detonated a cold truth in Roman.
37:48If there was never an amulet in the pool, what exactly did Tessa throw?
37:52Or did she throw anything at all?
37:54Was this all Elena's act from the start?
37:56Roman, dinner is ready.
37:58Why are you still out here?
38:00Elena, tell me the truth.
38:02Did Tessa really throw the baby amulet into the pool that day?
38:05Of course she did, Roman.
38:06Then what is this?
38:08Panic flashed in her eyes.
38:10It must have slipped.
38:11I might have dropped it near the edge.
38:12You didn't drop it.
38:14You threw it.
38:15You told me it was the amulet to make me mad at Tessa.
38:17No, that's not true.
38:19Why would I do that?
38:20Enough.
38:20You're still lying even now.
38:22I'm not lying.
38:23Why are you attacking me?
38:25Search her room.
38:26Sir, you heard me.
38:27I want that amulet.
38:29Even if you have to turn the place upside down.
38:32You want them to search my room?
38:33Are you crazy?
38:34Do it.
38:40In the living room, Elena's heart pounded.
38:42Her palms were icy cold.
38:44The amulet was in her drawer.
38:46She knew exactly where she tucked it away.
38:48If they found it.
38:49If Roman saw it.
38:50Mr. West, is this what you were looking for?
38:55The amulet bore the blessing symbols of that remote church.
38:58Elena, do you have anything to say?
39:00No, no, no.
39:01It's not what you think.
39:02This is a new one.
39:03I bought another.
39:04The priest's inscription is right here.
39:06The one we drove ours to see.
39:08The exact same design.
39:09Do you want me to bring him here to identify it?
39:13Elena, do you have any idea what you've done?
39:16I-
39:17Because you lied to me, I killed my child with Tessa.
39:20I didn't mean for it to go that far.
39:22She started it.
39:23She was the one provoking me.
39:24You didn't know?
39:25So she was telling the truth.
39:27One more question.
39:28Last night, did you touch my phone?
39:29No, I didn't.
39:30I never touched it.
39:31All the security footage.
39:33Minutes later, the security footage was retrieved.
39:36In the video, Roman holds his child.
39:38His phone screen lights up with an incoming call.
39:41Elena's smile freezes.
39:42She turns off Roman's phone.
39:44Care to explain that?
39:45I don't have anything to say.
39:47You were having fun with the baby.
39:48I just didn't want to disturb you.
39:50You're still lying.
39:52Take your son and go upstairs.
39:54You're doing this to me for Tessa?
39:56I don't want to see you either.
39:58Eleanor rushes upstairs with the child.
40:00Roman collapses onto the sofa.
40:02Uh, look, Roman.
40:03I bought these for the baby.
40:05Isn't it cute?
40:06It's pink.
40:07Pretty sure it's a girl, right?
40:08I'm not sure.
40:09So I bought a blue one too.
40:10Pink for a girl.
40:11Blue for a boy.
40:12He tries to stop the pain, but it is useless.
40:15Tessa, where are you?
40:18Overseas, the night was soft and quiet.
40:21Tessa lay propped up against pillows.
40:22In the crib beside her, Joy slept.
40:24Tiny fists, curled lips parted.
40:26Just looking at that face made every pain worth it.
40:30The only thing she still felt guilty, her daughter would grow up.
40:33Without a real family, no doting dad, no perfect parents.
40:37Tess here.
40:38Finish this soup.
40:39Since she arrived, her parents had made it their mission.
40:42To feed her like she'd been starved.
40:44Homemade broths, roasted chicken.
40:46In just two weeks, she'd put on weight again.
40:49Mom, I told you.
40:50You don't have to make me.
40:51A late night snack every day.
40:53I'm not even hungry.
40:54You silly girl.
40:55If you don't eat, how are you going to keep up?
40:58With the baby?
41:00As if on cue, Joy let out a sleepy wail.
41:02She's up.
41:03I'll get her.
41:04You stay in bed.
41:05You shouldn't be carrying her.
41:07Too much yet.
41:08You want back problems for life?
41:11She's my daughter.
41:12When she cries, of course I want to hold her.
41:15And you're my daughter.
41:16When you hurt, I hurt.
41:18Mom.
41:19Drink your soup before it gets cold.
41:22Oh, I see why my parents say.
41:25Princess is upset somebody made a stinky hat.
41:28Come on, sweetheart.
41:30Grandma's gonna get you.
41:32All cleaned up so you can sleep.
41:34Like an angel again, okay?
41:36Watching her mother coo and fuss.
41:38The last bit of guilt slid off.
41:39So what if Joy didn't have a father?
41:41She had a mother who would fight.
41:43For her grandparents who adored her.
41:45And a whole new life waiting.
41:47That could be more than enough.
41:48Back in the States, Roman hadn't closed his eyes.
41:51Well, did you find anything?
41:53Any sign of her?
41:54The assistant's voice, on the other end, revealed the truth.
41:57That Tessa had gone.
41:59Out of the country?
42:00She really left.
42:01He'd assumed she'd gone.
42:02To some hotel to lick her wounds.
42:04But the idea?
42:05She'd left the country.
42:07There's only one place.
42:08She'd go.
42:09She went to them.
42:10She has to have.
42:11He hung up, grabbed the closest suitcase.
42:14And started throwing clothes into it.
42:16He had just dragged it.
42:18Downstairs when Elena appeared.
42:20Roman, what are you doing?
42:21Where are you going?
42:22I don't have time for this, Elena.
42:24I'm going abroad.
42:25Abroad?
42:25Now you promised you'd stay.
42:27With me today.
42:28Did you forget?
42:29He kept walking.
42:30It's my birthday.
42:31You promised you'd spend.
42:32The day with me.
42:34You swore you wouldn't bail.
42:35I don't have time to hold your hand.
42:37Through a birthday dinner.
42:39I'm going to find Tessa.
42:40We can celebrate.
42:41When I get back.
42:42I'm not letting you go.
42:44A promise is a promise, Roman.
42:46You can't just...
42:47I also promised Tessa I'd never cheat on her.
42:50How'd that work out?
42:51Don't forget.
42:51The first time you tricked me.
42:53Into your bed.
42:53You told me you didn't care.
42:55About the title.
42:56You said you didn't need a ring.
42:58Didn't need recognition.
42:59You said you were happy.
43:00Just staying in the shadows.
43:02What happened to that, Elena?
43:03She flushed teeth sinking.
43:05Into her lip.
43:06I'm going to say this once more.
43:08Move.
43:08And I'll say it again too.
43:09I'm not moving.
43:10Are you done?
43:11Throwing a tantrum.
43:13In my doorway?
43:14I'm fighting for us.
43:15No.
43:16You're getting between me.
43:17And the woman whose life you helped destroy.
43:20I haven't even begun.
43:22To hold you accountable.
43:23For what you did to Tessa.
43:25If you're smart.
43:26You'll step aside.
43:27While I'm still trying to say this nicely.
43:30Otherwise.
43:32Now I finally see you for who you are.
43:35You regret it, don't you?
43:36Who's been here the entire six years?
43:38I just wanted to marry you.
43:40My son to carry your name.
43:43You won't even give me that.
43:45Before yesterday, I could have Tessa's child is dead because of you.
43:48If she never forgives me.
43:49I will never marry you.
43:51I've already done more for you.
43:52Whatever debt I owed Aiden, I've paid it in full.
43:55Roman West.
43:57If you walk out that door, I'll kill myself right here.
44:01This is the fifth time you've used suicide to hold me hostage.
44:05Every single time I gave it.
44:07Not this time.
44:08Even if you really go through with it, I'm going to find Tessa period.
44:12Miss Cole, please calm down.
44:14Don't do anything crazy.
44:15You seem to forget I'm depressed.
44:17Call him, call him right now.
44:19Okay, okay, we'll call.
44:20He's not picking up.
44:21He won't even answer the phone.
44:23You'll regret this.
44:25Elena tore her arm away.
44:26He didn't wait for her answer.
44:28Leaving a trail of red on the banister, the staff hurried after her, terrified.
44:33Thinking the screaming baby out.
44:35Miss Cole, please.
44:36He's just a baby.
44:37Why should I, if Roman doesn't want me?
44:40What's the point of either of us?
44:42I'll take him with me.
44:44We'll leave this world together.
44:45Call Mr. West again.
44:47I want him back here now.
44:49She called Roman's driver.
44:52Roman grips his knees, knuckles white.
44:55Mr. West, it's bad.
44:56Elena cut her wrist.
44:57She's threatening to take the baby.
44:59She's lost her mind.
45:01She might actually do it.
45:03Airport, sir.
45:04Turn around.
45:05Mr. West, Elena passed out.
45:07Lost blood.
45:08Hospital.
45:08Baby's fine.
45:09His chance vanished with the flight.
45:11Take me to the hospital.
45:12He arrived at the hospital.
45:14You've lost your mind, Elena.
45:15You tried to kill yourself.
45:17You bled out for Roman.
45:19You don't even have depression.
45:21I couldn't let him leave.
45:22I'd lose him for good.
45:23Don't drag the baby into this.
45:25If not for him, I'd be free.
45:27Thank God Roman never asked.
45:29Is he truly the father?
45:32What did you just say?
45:33We'll give you guys space.
45:34You came back.
45:35You care.
45:36You couldn't let me die.
45:37Answer me.
45:38What did you mean?
45:39You said the kid isn't mine.
45:40No, you misheard.
45:42You're the only man.
45:43Who else could be his father?
45:45How many lies, Elena?
45:47Who are you really?
45:48The woman I knew didn't exist?
45:50He destroyed his marriage.
45:52Ruined Tessa's life.
45:53All for a lie.
45:54The child he cherished was not his own flesh and blood.
45:59Tonight's family dinner won't be calm.
46:01Tessa knew.
46:03A war without smoke.
46:04Each step on power's edge.
46:06She's ready for any challenge.
46:07Hypocrisy and glamour rule tonight.
46:14Ex-fiancé and rival.
46:16Too close.
46:25Too close.
46:27Oh, Tessa, how dare you come?
46:28Family dinner, why wouldn't I?
46:31Old love, new fling.
46:32Tensions rise.
46:33Mother's coldness worse than known.
46:35You dare stand here.
46:37No family pride?
46:38My dignity, I decide.
46:40Think you still have a place here.
46:42Under all eyes, she's cornered.
46:44Time to flip this false game.
46:56All eyes on the document now.
46:57This will might answer your questions.
47:00One will, enough to change all.
47:01Power balance shifts instantly.
47:04From now on, I steer the family.
47:07Tonight, a top charity gala.
47:09Outwardly splendid, yet secretly turbulent.
47:12Roman sought to use this as a redemption offering for his past betrayal.
47:16The lost family heirloom became his bargaining chip for goodwill.
47:19Bidding high, just to gain a sliver of Tessa's attention.
47:23Tessa remained calm and distant, as if nothing concerned her.
47:26Suddenly, a fiery red figure shattered this false calm.
47:29Roman, how dare you show your face to Tessa?
47:32Elena, don't make a scene here.
47:34Amidst the commotion, Tessa's eyes held only a hint of weariness.
47:37The whispers of the crowd became the best commentary.
47:40At the crucial moment, Tessa's mother intervened with powerful presence.
47:44Elena, this is not the place for such discussions.
47:49Our family has completely severed all ties with Roman.
47:53Roman's redemption plan was utterly defeated.
47:56Tessa chose to leave resolutely, without a trace of hesitation.
47:59This treasure once symbolized the family's glory.
48:02At the end of the corridor was her silhouette bidding farewell to the past.
48:06The cold night deepened, and the story would finally conclude.
48:09Her departure was a final farewell.
48:11Roman was left alone, the treasure in his hand now only irony.
48:15His humility and ridicule were frozen by the camera flashes.
48:18Farewell is the prologue to a new beginning.
48:22What exactly is Roman West up to now?
48:25Dad, please try to calm down.
48:27I'm going over there, I swear to God.
48:30I'm going to break his legs.
48:32When Robert arrived, Roman was directing the movers.
48:35Dad, you finally came outside.
48:37Stop right there, Mr. West.
48:39Watch how you address me.
48:41You and my daughter are divorced.
48:43I am not your dad.
48:44I won't ever be your dad.
48:46Sir.
48:47I've got one question for you.
48:49What exactly are you planning by buying this place?
48:52Sir, I know I screwed up.
48:54I'm here to ask Tessa to forgive me.
48:57If she won't, then I'll stay here.
48:59As long as it takes, I'll live across this street until the day she does.
49:03You really don't have any shame, do you?
49:06Do you remember what you said three years ago?
49:09You said you'd cut that woman off.
49:11You said you'd never cheat on my daughter again.
49:15And what happened?
49:16You carried on with her.
49:18Got her pregnant.
49:19You damn near killed my kid.
49:21Should I call you pathetic?
49:23Or just plain disgusting?
49:25You're right.
49:26Call me whatever you want.
49:28I deserve all of it.
49:29But at least believe me when I say this.
49:31It's over with Elena.
49:32Completely.
49:33I threw her out.
49:35And the kid she had.
49:36He's not even mine.
49:37He never was.
49:38So that's it.
49:39She cheated on you.
49:40The great Roman West finally got played.
49:42You earned every bit of that.
49:44Pack your things.
49:45If you actually care about Tessa's happiness,
49:49get the hell away from here.
49:51If you stay, we go.
49:53If she moves again, I'll move again.
49:56I'm not giving up.
49:57Tessa, I'll prove it to you this time.
49:59I swear to God, I'll prove it.
50:01The days that followed turned into a strange, exhausting routine.
50:04Every morning, Roman would appear at the reed's door, holding flowers.
50:08The housekeeper would refuse them.
50:10He would still leave the flowers by the door.
50:12Every afternoon, he would linger on the sidewalk.
50:15Hoping to catch a glimpse of Tessa,
50:17Tessa learned to use the back entrance.
50:19She wrapped herself in her new life, leaving no opening for Roman.
50:22But secrets, after all, cannot be buried forever.
50:25In the morning, Roman saw the maids come out.
50:28They began to hang clothes on the line.
50:30Tiny rompers, little socks with cloud patterns.
50:33Little Miss was fussy again last night.
50:35Probably because there's no dad around.
50:37Kids aren't stupid.
50:38Roman gripped his coffee cup until the cardboard bent.
50:41You think Ms. Reed will ever marry again?
50:43Hard to say.
50:44She's been hurt so badly.
50:46The maid's voice has drifted in the morning air.
50:48His heart pounded.
50:49That wasn't a hypothetical baby.
50:51That was his child.
50:52The child Tessa claimed had died.
50:54Why didn't you tell me, Tess?
50:56Why did you have to lie?
50:57Because last time she trusted him, entrusting him with their child,
51:01he had almost killed both her and their daughter.
51:06Tessa, Tessa.
51:08The baby isn't dead, is she?
51:10Our baby's not dead, right?
51:11Tessa come out and talk to me.
51:13I want to see our child.
51:14Why would you lie?
51:16Why would you tell me she died if she didn't?
51:18Roman's voice rolled in from outside like distant thunder.
51:21He actually has the nerve to ask me?
51:24That man is back again.
51:25We called the cops last time.
51:28Dad let me go.
51:29If I don't say this to his face, he's going to haunt my doorstep.
51:32I'm tired.
51:33I need this done.
51:34At least give me the baby.
51:36No, I'm taking her with me.
51:37She wanted him to see exactly who had lost.
51:39For a second, he just froze.
51:41Tess, the baby you're holding, is that?
51:46Is she ours?
51:48She's our daughter, right?
51:50She's our little girl?
51:52Her tiny fists waved in the air.
51:53The shape of his eyes.
51:55The curve of Tessa's mouth.
51:56No.
51:57No?
51:58Tessa, look at her.
51:59She's a baby.
52:00She's exactly the right age.
52:02I said no, Roman West.
52:03You and I are divorced.
52:05Whatever you think we had is over.
52:07The child you keep talking about died.
52:09This little girl is mine.
52:11She's my daughter.
52:12She belongs to me.
52:13Tessa Reed and no one else.
52:15You can't mean that.
52:16She is obviously our child.
52:19She is my kid.
52:20Roman, don't you already have a son or weight from what my dad told me that boy Elena had
52:25has not yours, is he?
52:27Roman flinched like she'd stabbed him.
52:29The neighbors buzzed.
52:30Oh my god, he really did that to his pregnant wife?
52:33No wonder she doesn't want him.
52:34Unbelievable.
52:35The great Roman West, the guy who thinks he's the smartest, got played into raising another
52:40man's kid.
52:41That hurts.
52:42You know that.
52:42Hurts?
52:43You want to talk about pain?
52:44What are you hoping if you look pitiful enough, he'll forgive you?
52:48Did you think about how much it would hurt when you let that woman set me up?
52:51When you hit me?
52:53When you forced your nine months pregnant wife to stay in a freezing pool for four hours
52:57to teach me a lesson and fetch a charm that never existed.
53:00Did you think about my pain then, Roman?
53:02Yes.
53:03There wasn't a single apology in the world, big enough to cover what had done.
53:07So he did the only thing he could think of.
53:10I know it's not enough.
53:11I know I don't deserve it.
53:13But can you really look at that baby and say she doesn't need a father?
53:17Can you really do that to her?
53:18Tessa's fingers stroked Joy's back, soothing the baby's soft little fussing.
53:22Who said she doesn't have a father?
53:26She's have a better man for a dad someday.
53:29And even if she didn't, she'd never call a piece of garbage like you her father.
53:33Does it really have to be like this?
53:34Why can't it be like three years ago?
53:36Why can't you just give me one last chance?
53:39Just one?
53:39There are no more chances, Roman, three years ago I handed you that last chance.
53:44You threw it away, losing your wife and your own child.
53:47You did that to yourself.
53:48Don't you dare pin it on anyone else.
53:50If you don't want your daughter growing up uprooted, then leave.
53:53If you don't, I'll be gone by tomorrow.
53:55For the first time, Roman finally understood she didn't just resent him.
53:59She hated him.
54:00Get out of here already.
54:01You're not embarrassed kneeling there like that.
54:03Scumbag, he deserves every second of this.
54:05In the middle of the noise, Tessa let out a small, tired laugh.
54:09Tessa didn't look back.
54:10She walked towards a new life.
54:12Hey, what's wrong, Ray?
54:13You think mommy did the wrong thing.
54:15You think mommy should forgive your dad.
54:18The reaction punched straight through whatever armor Tessa had left.
54:21Her vision blurred all over again.
54:23God, you're sweet already looking out for me, huh?
54:26Even without a dad, I'm going to make sure your life is happy and bright, I swear it.
54:30Out on the street, Roman stayed on his knees long after the front door shut.
54:33By the time he finally forced himself to stand, his legs were numb and his palms were raw from
54:39gripping the concrete.
54:40He walked away like a man moving through water and booked the earliest flight home he could find.
54:45Joy grew fast.
54:46She could sit at the baby grand in the living room and play simple pieces from memory.
54:50Ray, who gets the first slice, grandma's.
54:54Ready to volunteer, just so you know.
54:58The first one is for mom.
55:00Because mom raised me, she did the hardest job.
55:02I love mom the most.
55:04Thank you, baby.
55:05Best birthday speech I've ever heard.
55:08All right, Ray.
55:09Then tell grandpa this.
55:12What's your birthday wish this year?
55:15Same as always, I want mom to be happy every day.
55:18And I want her to get a boyfriend who'll take care of her.
55:21You really want a dad that badly.
55:22I want you to be happy.
55:24I want you to have someone who treats you nice.
55:26I want lots and lots of people to love my mom.
55:29Across the yard in the second floor window of the house opposite, a man stood half hidden behind the curtain.
55:35Roman's throat tightened as he watched Joy feed Tessa that first bite of cake.
55:39His eyes redden.
55:40Mr. West, you've been flying out here for five years now.
55:43Watching from the window.
55:44Hiding in rentals across the street, pulling up and driving away.
55:48You never even ring the bell.
55:49You sure you don't want to talk to them?
55:51After this long?
55:52Maybe Mrs. Reed doesn't hate you as much as you think.
55:55She hates me.
55:55And she's right too.
55:57I'm not asking her to forgive me.
55:59I'm not stupid enough to think she'll come back.
56:01Just getting to see them like this from far away, that's more than I deserve.
56:05I still think that one day she will forgive you.
56:07Maybe, maybe not.
56:09All I want now is for her to be happy.
56:11For both of them to be happy.
56:12That's it.
56:13The rest of my life, that's for making up for what I did.
56:18She thought her husband was abroad.
56:20But found a shocking lie.
56:22Roman froze when he saw her.
56:23He awkwardly put the baby down.
56:25Tessa, what are you doing here?
56:27The room was silent, eyes darting.
56:30Damn, Tessa is here.
56:31Roman, how do you explain this?
56:33I'm sorry, Tess, you can't do this.
56:35We just met by chance.
56:36Came up.
56:37You are still lying.
56:38An hour ago, you said you were abroad.
56:40Roman, what happened?
56:42You flew back?
56:43Crossed oceans in 60 minutes?
56:45I'm sorry, Tess, you can't do this.
56:47You can't be this angry.
56:48You're pregnant.
56:49It's my fault, Ms. Reed.
56:50Don't hit him.
56:51Roman was with me out of pity.
56:53After Ryan died, I lost everything.
56:55I just needed help.
56:56A child.
56:57I swear, Ms. Reed, I want nothing.
57:00Shut up.
57:01You have a child with my husband.
57:03You say you don't want him?
57:04Tessa hit me, but not Elena.
57:06She just gave birth.
57:07She's weak.
57:08Weak?
57:09Yet you slept with her?
57:10You said you'd be gone for a month.
57:12You settled mistress, not at home, living with her in a luxury spa.
57:16This is what you've been doing.
57:18Home counting contractions.
57:20She broke free, burning with rage.
57:22She swung again, wanting another slap.
57:24Elena rushed to Roman with the baby.
57:26She was like a human shield.
57:28Too fast, Tessa couldn't react.
57:30As her hand fell, Elena rushed in.
57:32The slap grazed the baby's body.
57:34A cry, the baby fell from her arms, fell with a sickening thud.
57:37The rumor erupted.
57:38God, Jesus!
57:39My baby, Ms. Reed, why did you do this?
57:42He's four days old.
57:43How cruel are you?
57:44Roman's friends pulled Tessa away.
57:46They surrounded Elena tightly.
57:48Tessa, what are you doing?
57:49He's a newborn.
57:50No matter how angry, not the child.
57:52God knows what harm that fall caused.
57:54Tessa, I know I'm wrong today.
57:56But that's my son, my own son.
57:58Oh, really?
57:59Then what is this?
58:00What do you think I'm carrying?
58:02Elena, why isn't he crying?
58:04Roman, he's not crying.
58:05Our baby's dying.
58:06Elena, we're going to the hospital now.
58:08He held her, guiding her to the door.
58:10Tessa, Reed blocked the exit.
58:12Let them take you.
58:13Let them drive.
58:14Roman West, I give you one last chance.
58:17He stopped, chest heaving.
58:19The baby's weight and her socks.
58:21Me and Elena, my child and hers.
58:23You can only choose one.
58:25Choose.
