Short filmTranscript
00:00Actually, I am his legal wife of seven years.
00:05And this little girl, she is his daughter, born while we were still married.
00:13A year into my long-distance marriage with Ryan, I met his co-worker.
00:17Hey, Claire! Congratulations!
00:21I heard Ryan and Wendy had a lovely baby girl.
00:24My blood ran.
00:26I'm definitely going to their baby shower this weekend.
00:30She held up an invitation with silver edges and tiny angels.
00:34Isn't the design thoughtful? It's gorgeous!
00:38I forced a stiff smile and took the invitation calmly.
00:43It clearly read parents, Ryan and Wendy, that weekend.
00:46I arrived at the hotel on the invitation.
00:48A beautiful woman stood holding a six-week-old baby girl.
00:53You must be Ryan's new co-worker. Come in!
00:56He was nowhere to be seen, but I spotted his relatives.
00:59I recognized them from our wedding seven years ago.
01:04Shock and rage crashed through me.
01:07I stared at the baby eyebrows exactly like Ryan's.
01:12Where's Ryan?
01:13Ryan has gone to pick up his parents.
01:16There's a little traffic. They'll be here soon.
01:21My heart felt ripped open. I could barely breathe.
01:25Two days earlier, they said they booked an Alaska senior cruise.
01:30Worried their pension was low, I transferred $8,000.
01:34They'd never traveled. I wholeheartedly supported them.
01:37All these years, I treated them like my own parents.
01:41She's the most reliable daughter-in-law.
01:44They always said I was the most reliable daughter-in-law.
01:47I had no idea his entire family was playing me for a fool.
01:52Wendy led me to the section for Ryan's co-workers.
01:55Lucky Ryan. Beautiful wife. Even more beautiful daughter.
02:01Six years and you two are still so happy.
02:05I dug my nails into my palms.
02:08Married seven years, he'd been with Wendy over six.
02:12The most ridiculous part?
02:15I had no idea for seven years.
02:18That morning, he sent his usual good morning kiss emoji.
02:22Wife, I miss you so much.
02:25For seven years, we were everyone's perfect couple.
02:29Every month, he deposited $15,000 into our joint account.
02:34I only keep $5,000 for spending money.
02:37Every year, he bought me a Tiffany bracelet with his bonus.
02:41The jewelry box is full of Tiffany jewelry.
02:44The company is opening a branch in Seattle.
02:47I volunteered to be regional manager.
02:49It's a $30,000 raise.
02:50We need to save for Ethan.
02:51After much thought, I agreed to let him move thousands of miles away.
02:56Now I realized I had never truly known this man.
03:00Ryan is amazing.
03:02He's been sales champion every year.
03:04His base is $20,000.
03:06Commissions are through the roof.
03:08Only then did I realize he only told me his base salary.
03:13So they had a grand wedding.
03:15I only had a small ceremony in his hometown.
03:18Didn't invite any of his colleagues to our wedding.
03:21Wendy, how do you keep him so devoted?
03:25My husband works overtime and never comes home.
03:29I watched her.
03:30No emotion showing on my face.
03:35Ryan is just a great person.
03:38I'm so lucky.
03:40He gives me all his income.
03:44He told me he kept $5,000 for himself.
03:47Every year he buys me a Cartier bracelet,
03:49waistlet with his bonus.
03:51A man's ma money follows his heart.
03:56My already shattered heart split open all over again.
04:02Then what were the Tiffany bracelets he bought me?
04:06A tidal wave of emotion choked me.
04:09I bit my lip hard to stop myself from crying.
04:16It's Ryan.
04:21Can you hold her for a second?
04:23My hands are full.
04:26I was stunned for a moment.
04:31Wami, don't overwork yourself.
04:33I picked up my parents.
04:35Even in on the verge of breaking down,
04:37I forced down my emotions.
04:41This tiny, soft baby girl lay quietly in my arms,
04:45staring up at me with bright eyes.
04:47Not a single cry or fuss.
04:49Faced with this innocent little life,
04:51I forced myself to push down every single emotion.
04:5820, you just had the baby.
05:01Don't overdo it.
05:02I picked up my parents on re-on-the-ru-it.
05:03Don't seen?
05:07I'm not tired.
05:09Drive slowly and be careful, okay?
05:13That's just him,
05:14always pressing over every little thing.
05:16You two are so perfect together.
05:18You've been married six years,
05:20and you're still glued to each other.
05:21I'm so jealous.
05:33One's for our little granddaughter.
05:35One's for our little grandson.
05:53If it's a girl, we'll name her Luna.
05:55May she be as bright and joyful as the moonlight.
05:58I'm sorry.
05:59We lost your baby girl.
06:03My daughter really took to you.
06:05She cries for everyone else,
06:06but she's been perfectly calm and quiet in your arms this whole time.
06:09Probably because...
06:11I used to have a baby.
06:13I know how to hold a baby.
06:15This bracelet was custom-made just for her by Ryan.
06:18It's one of a kind in the entire world.
06:20The name...
06:21Was that his idea, too?
06:23Yeah, Ryan picked Luna.
06:26Like Moonlight.
06:36That was my daughter's name.
06:41All those years, he bought me fakes,
06:44but for her, real Cartier.
06:46I was never his wife.
06:48Just a placeholder.
06:51Darling, it's a Tiffany limited edition.
06:53I only love you.
06:54He's so good to you.
06:56He gives you his entire paycheck
06:57and buys you Cartadec every single year.
06:59Where a man puts his money,
07:00that's where his heart is, you know?
07:03Those words drove a knife straight into my chest.
07:07Honey, this is my whole paycheck.
07:09I only kept a tiny bit for spending money.
07:11Ryan's top sales every year makes a ton.
07:14He gave me all his base salary
07:16and all his commissions.
07:19Went to his other home.
07:21He makes great money and is such a family man.
07:24Guys like this are one in a million.
07:25Could you hold her for me again?
07:27More guests just arrived.
07:29It's fine.
07:30I've got all the time in the world.
07:33Welcome everyone to Baby Luna's welcome party.
07:39It felt like I was swallowing shards of glass.
07:43Ethan never even had a proper welcome party.
07:50Don't throw a welcome party.
07:51Seeing other babies would make me think of our daughter we lost.
08:00So, it was just my daughter who wasn't welcome.
08:23So, it was just my daughter who wasn't going to be able to be able to be able to be
08:29able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to
08:29be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able

08:33social nices. Don't be so
08:35unreasonable.
08:54Hello?
08:55Claire, did you see my text? It's so
08:57noisy on your end. Are you at the supermarket?
08:59Hurry up and take care of it.
09:00I have no money.
09:07What do you
09:08mean? My son makes so
09:10much money. Did he give it all to you?
09:12Stop pretending to be poor.
09:23Forget it. I won't argue
09:24with you. Ethan left the silver star
09:26bracelet with me. It's too valuable.
09:28I was afraid he'd lose it.
09:37This is your grandma's
09:38amulet. Wear it always.
09:40Take it off before you lose it.
09:42Grandma, please keep it safe
09:44for me.
09:58Mom, you're too sweet.
10:00What gift you got for the baby?
10:02It's the star bracelet. It was blessed
10:04at church. It's not an ordinary
10:06bracelet. It has meaning.
10:08Grandma insists on sending another bracelet
10:10for the baby. She says it has special meaning.
10:12Look how much she loves this granddaughter.
10:15They should be here soon.
10:18Yes, almost here. Come on, give her to me.
10:20Thank you so much for your help.
10:22No. I'll keep holding her.
10:39Honey, where's our baby?
10:56Actually, I am his legal wife
11:00of seven years.
11:02And this little girl,
11:05she is his daughter,
11:07born while we were still married.
11:30I watched as their perfect world
11:32crumbled around them.
11:53Ma'am, I don't know who you are.
11:55Talk about this privately.
11:57Please, just give me my baby first.
12:00I am his wife of seven years.
12:06We have a six-year-old son
12:08named Ethan.
12:12And this was only the beginning.
12:16This, this can't be happening.
12:21Ryan, tell me!
12:23How long have we been married?
12:31He had nowhere to hide.
12:37Ryan?
12:44Silence was his only confession.
12:54Arthur, Mary, I get Senra Sidney.
12:58You tell us.
13:00Who's your daughter-in-law?
13:06I want you to tell me now!
13:08You crashed our baby's party!
13:10This has to be settled right here, right now!
13:12No, whoever the other woman is,
13:14we're both Vicks here.
13:16We both got played by you.
13:23I'm sorry.
13:25I'm such an asshole.
13:30Then what am I?
13:31Ryan, how could you do this to me?
13:36No.
13:36We have a marriage license.
13:39I'm your legal wife.
13:41Marriage license is fake.
13:49It was never filed with the government.
13:52I lied to you.
13:53I said we got married in Las Vegas
13:55and the certificate was with our lawyer.
13:57But I never filed any paperwork.
13:59Never.
14:00Fake!
14:01You paid the down payment on my apartment,
14:03bought me a car,
14:04flew across the country
14:05for my parents' funerals
14:06and handled everything.
14:07We have a baby together now
14:09and you're telling me
14:10the marriage was fake?
14:14He treated you way better
14:15than he ever treated me.
14:18He only deposited $15,000 a month
14:21into our joint count,
14:23claiming that was his entire salary.
14:26But all his commissions went to you.
14:33He bought you real cardatic bracelets every year.
14:36The Tiffany bracelets he gave me?
14:39Knockoffs.
14:40He lied about moving to Seattle
14:43to be regional manager.
14:44He just wanted to live with you openly.
14:55Do you know where this bracelet came from?
14:59What?
15:02Seven years ago,
15:04I was pregnant with fraternal twins.
15:06I never thought he'd steal my dead daughter's name
15:08and bracelet bracelet for your daughter.
15:20And my wonderful mother-in-law here
15:22was going to give Ethan's star bracelet
15:24to this baby too.
15:26For seven years,
15:27I did all the housework,
15:29all the driving,
15:30all the parenting alone.
15:33I hosted every single one of your visits.
15:35I took time off work
15:37to take you to every doctor appointment.
15:39Two days ago,
15:41I sent you $8,000 for your cruise.
15:46I treated you like my own parents.
15:49And this is how you repay me?
15:54This is how you treat your only grandson?
15:58This is insane.
16:00The son cheats and the parents help him lie?
16:02Like father, like son.
16:04What a terrible family.
16:05They had the perfect wife
16:06and they threw her away?
16:07They're crazy.
16:17Claire.
16:19Claire, I'm sorry.
16:20I'm such an asshole.
16:23I know I messed up.
16:24I'll never do it again.
16:26Please forgive me.
16:26Just this once.
16:43What about me?
16:45What about the six years you stole from me,
16:48you piece of shit?
16:56I'm sorry I lied to you.
16:58I wasted so many years of your life.
17:03You deserve someone better than me.
17:05Someone who isn't a scumbag.
17:07So he knew he was a scumbag.
17:10Scumbag?
17:10You're a fucking monster!
17:14Baby, let's go home.
17:15Please.
17:21What about her?
17:22What are you going to do about her?
17:26I know you always wanted a daughter.
17:28If you want to raise her, we can keep her.
17:30Please, sister.
17:31I'm begging you.
17:32Give me my baby.
17:34I don't want Ryan.
17:36You can have him.
17:36I don't want anything.
17:37I just want my baby.
17:39I had no idea he was married.
17:41I swear I didn't.
17:43Please.
17:45Please give her back to me.
17:56Relax.
17:57I'm not going to hurt her.
18:08She's hungry.
18:09I need to feed her.
18:10Please just give her to me.
18:12I'm going to ask you a few questions
18:13and you're going to answer them honestly.
18:16I don't want your baby.
18:18I have my own son.
18:21How much money has Ryan given you total
18:22since you've been together?
18:23He paid $300,000 for my apartment down payment
18:26and $50,000 for my car.
18:28After we moved in together,
18:28he gave me $30,000 to $50,000 a month
18:30plus jewelry every year with his bonus.
18:32Altogether, about 2.3 million dollars.
18:33The jewelry is worth another $300,000.
18:36I know you'll take me to court to get it back.
18:38I'm not going to lie to you.
18:42Are you willing to give all that money back to me?
18:44Yes.
18:45Give me your account number
18:46and I'll do it right now.
18:59The money's yours.
19:01You can have Ryan too?
19:03I just want my baby.
19:04Can I have her now?
19:13She's your baby.
19:14No one's going to take her from you.
19:18I'll take the money.
19:20But I don't want Ryan.
19:37Claire!
19:38Wait!
19:41Don't.
19:53Claire, there will never be another time.
19:55I swear, this was the only mistake.
19:57Don't touch me!
19:59You make me sick.
20:03I'm sorry.
20:09I used to feel warm seeing this.
20:11Now.
20:13Now it feels like a knife twisting in my chest.
20:18Lily Dog.
20:19Goodbye.
20:26God.
20:29Goodbye.
20:33Goodbye.
20:39Goodbye.
20:40Goodbye.
20:42Goodbye.
20:46I was like, traveling, 행복.
20:59The deeper I loved him, the deeper I hated him now.
21:05Claire, open the door, please!
21:15I'm begging you, please, for Ethan!
21:40Claire, open the door, Claire, we need to talk, here, Ethan's bracelet, I know I was wrong,
21:59please, just one more chance, for Ethan, I'm begging you, I'm doing you a favor by letting
22:05you be with Wendy, you should be happy, now you don't have to sneak around anymore.
22:10I don't want to lose this family, you're the most important thing to me!
22:13You make me sick!
22:14If you really cared about me, you never would have hurt me in the first place!
22:28I bought this place with my own money, it's mine, and Ethan's.
22:37Damn it.
22:38Claire's gone for good, good riddus.
22:41Wendy's way nicer.
22:42No parents, ten mem dollars inheritance, marry her, it's all yours!
22:53Claire makes decent money, but she's too stubborn.
22:55Marry Wendy, and you'll be set for life.
22:57If Claire insists on the divorce, I guess that's what I'll have to do.
23:01I heard enough.
23:08Due to marital asset concealment and Big Mermy, our client demands 70% of assets and solo custody.
23:21Regarding division of marital assets, the wife is awarded 70%.
23:27Sole legal and physical custody of the minor child, Ethan, is granted to the mother.
23:31The father shall pay 30% of his monthly income as child support until the child turns 18.
23:37Additionally, the court finds the defendant guilty of bigamy.
23:39Sentenced to one year of probation with a permanent criminal record.
23:42the mayor's
24:23Ryan told me you two got divorced.
24:26Yeah, I got full custody of Ethan.
24:29I'm sorry. For everything.
24:33It's not your fault.
24:36Ryan's the only one to blame here.
24:38I don't know if you're planning on staying with Ryan or not,
24:41but before you decide, I need you to listen to this.
24:49Claire's gone for good. Good riddice.
24:51Wendy's way nicer. No parents. Ten mil dollars inheritance.
24:54Marry her, it's all yours.
24:55Claire makes decent money, but she's too stubborn.
24:57Marry Wendy and you'll be set for life.
24:59If Claire insists on the divorce, I guess that's what I'll have to do.
25:06So I was just a second choice.
25:12That whole family is fucking evil!
25:15We're both victims here.
25:16I got out of this mess. I don't want you to get stuck in it too.
25:19Take care of yourself, okay?
25:21Thank you. Really, thank you so much.
25:24You deserve so much better than him.
25:26Ryan doesn't deserve either of us.
25:28Let's start over.
25:29I'm Wendy.
25:30I'm Claire.
25:37We didn't fight over a worthless man.
25:48Wendy, it's me.
25:50Can we talk?
26:05They're at my door again.
26:07Ignore them.
26:13You're such a good big brother.
26:14She's so tiny.
26:16I have to take care of her.
26:18Both of you.
26:29He spent the rest of his Inde life alone with nothing.
26:33We made it.
26:35Yeah, we did.
26:38For you.
26:41You didn't have to.
26:42I wanted to.
26:45The deeper I loved him, the deeper I hated him.
26:47But now, I feel nothing at all.
26:49And that's the real victory.
26:50For everyone who was told they weren't enough,
26:52you are.
