00:14we were still married a year into my long-distance marriage with Ryan I met his co-worker hey Claire
00:24congratulations I heard Ryan and Wendy had a lovely baby girl my blood ran I'm definitely
00:30going to their baby shower this weekend she held up an invitation with silver edges and tiny angels
00:37isn't the design thoughtful it's gorgeous I forced a stiff smile and took the invitation calmly
00:46it clearly read parents Ryan and Wendy that weekend I arrived at the hotel on the invitation
00:51a beautiful woman stood holding a six-week-old baby girl you must be Ryan's new co-worker
00:58come in he was nowhere to be seen but I spotted his relatives I recognized them from our wedding
01:04seven years ago shock and rage crashed through me I stared at the baby eyebrows exactly like Ryan's
01:15where's Ryan Ryan has gone to pick up his parents there's a little traffic
01:20they'll be here soon my heart felt ripped open I could barely breathe two days earlier they said
01:30they booked an Alaska senior cruise worried their pension was low I transferred eight thousand dollars
01:37they'd never traveled I wholeheartedly supported them all these years I treated them like my own
01:43parents she's the most reliable daughter-in-law they always said I was the most reliable daughter-in-law
01:50I had no idea his entire family was playing me for a fool Wendy led me to the section for
01:56Ryan's co-workers
01:58lucky Ryan beautiful wife even more beautiful daughter
02:04six years and you two are still so happy
02:08I dug my nails into my palms married seven years he'd been with Wendy over six
02:15the most ridiculous part I had no idea for seven years
02:21that morning he sent his usual good morning kiss emoji
02:25wife I miss you so much for seven years we were everyone's perfect couple every month
02:33he deposited fifteen thousand dollars into our joint account I only keep five thousand dollars for
02:38spending money every year he bought me a Tiffany bracelet with his bonus the jewelry box is full of
02:46Tiffany jewelry the company is opening a branch in Seattle I volunteered to be regional manager it's a
02:52thirty thousand dollars raise we need to save for Ethan after much thought I agreed to let him move
02:57thousands of miles away now I realized I had never truly known this man
03:03Ryan is amazing he's been sales champion every year his base is twenty thousand dollars commissions are
03:10through the roof only then did I realize he only told me his base salary so they had a grand
03:17wedding
03:17I only had a small ceremony in his hometown didn't invite any of his colleagues to our wedding
03:24Wendy how do you keep him so devoted my husband works overtime and never comes home
03:31I watched her no emotion showing on my face
03:38Ryan is just a great person I'm so lucky
03:43he gives me all his income
03:47he told me he kept five thousand dollars for himself every year he buys me a Cartier bracelet
03:52bracelet with his bonus a man's money follows his heart
03:59my already shattered heart split open all over again
04:06then what were the Tiffany bracelets he bought me a tidal wave of emotion choked me I bit
04:13my lip hard to stop myself from crying it's Ryan can you hold her for a second my hands are
04:26full
04:29I was stunned for a moment

04:44this tiny soft baby girl lay quietly in my arms staring up at me with bright eyes not a single

06:01I'm sorry we lost your baby girl
06:06my daughter really took to you she cries for everyone else but she's been perfectly calm and quiet in your
06:11arms this whole time
06:12probably because I used to have a baby
06:15I know how to hold a baby
06:18this bracelet was custom made just for her by Ryan
06:21it's one of a kind in the entire world
06:23the name was that his idea too
06:26yeah Ryan picked Luna like moonlight
06:38that was my daughter's name
06:44all those years he bought me fakes but for her real Cartier

07:30more guests just arrived
07:32it's fine
07:33I've got all the time in the world
07:36welcome everyone to baby Luna's welcome party
07:42it felt like I was swallowing shards of glass
07:46Ethan never even had a proper welcome party
07:53don't throw a welcome party
07:55seeing other babies would make me think of our daughter we lost
08:03so it was just my daughter who wasn't welcome
08:09okay
08:20hmm
08:34These are basic social nices. Don't be so unreasonable.
08:57Hello?
08:58Claire, did you see my text? It's so noisy on your end. Are you at the supermarket? Hurry up and
09:02take care of it.
09:03I have no money.
09:11What do you mean? My son makes so much money. Did he give it all to you? Stop pretending to
09:16be poor.
09:26Forget it. I won't argue with you. Ethan left the silver star bracelet with me. It's too valuable. I was
09:31afraid he'd lose it.
09:40This is your grandma's amulet. Wear it always. Take it off before you lose it.
09:46Grandma, please keep it safe for me.
10:01Mom, you're too sweet. What gift you got for the baby?
10:05It's the star bracelet. It was blessed at church. It's not an ordinary bracelet. It has meaning.
10:11Grandma insists on sending another bracelet for the baby. She says it has special meaning. Look how much she loves
10:16this granddaughter.
10:18They should be here soon.
10:21Yes, almost here. Come on, give her to me. Thank you so much for your help.
10:25No. I'll keep holding her.

21:02The deeper I loved him, the deeper I hated him now.
21:08Claire! Open the door! Please!
21:18I'm begging you, please! For Ethan!
21:43Claire, open the door!
21:47Claire, we need to talk!
21:51Here, Ethan's bracelet.
22:00I know I was wrong. Please, just one more chance. For Ethan. I'm begging you.
22:06I'm doing you a favor by letting you be with Wendy. You should be happy.
22:10Now you don't have to sneak around anymore.
22:13I don't want to lose this family. You're the most important thing to me.
22:16You make me sick! If you really cared about me, you never would have hurt me in the first place!
22:31I bought this place with my own money.
22:33It's mine. And Ethan's.
22:40Damn it!
22:41Claire's gone for good. Good riddus.
22:44Wendy's way nicer. No parent. Ten mem dollars inheritance.
22:48Marry her, it's all yours!
22:56Claire makes decent money, but she's too stubborn.
22:58Marry Wendy and you'll be set for life.
23:00If Claire insists on the divorce, I guess that's what I'll have to do.
23:05I heard enough.
23:11Due to marital asset concealment and bigmermy, our client demands 70% of assets and solo custody.
23:24Regarding division of marital assets, the wife is awarded 70%.
23:30Sole legal and physical custody of the minor child Ethan is granted to the mother.
23:35The father shall pay 30% of his monthly income as child support until the child turns 18.
23:40Additionally, the court finds the defendant guilty of bigamy.
23:43Sentenced to one year of probation with a permanent criminal record.
24:00Over Todo after this, they'll leave somewhere else.
24:04Never mind if the familyст Burch works for a wievism as child support.
24:06I hear all of you have noticed that the family is taken too much from variable given the child comfort,
24:06where the family is an even more projet of entry.
24:07While everyone grew up with any family, they must have taken care of oneも from another mates alone for the
24:07autism.
24:08Before the birth didn't have Paral LOVIC, their family doesn't have anyничней.
24:26Ryan told me you two got divorced
24:30Yeah, I got full custody of Ethan
24:32I'm sorry
24:34For everything
24:36It's not your fault
24:39Ryan's the only one to blame here
24:41I don't know if you're planning on staying with Ryan or not
24:43But before you decide, I need you to listen to this
24:52Claire's gone for good
24:53Good riddice
24:54Wendy's way nicer
24:55No parents
24:55Ten mil dollars inheritance
24:57Marry her
24:57It's all yours
24:58Claire makes decent money
24:59But she's too stubborn
25:01Marry Wendy and you'll be set for life
25:02If Claire insists on the divorce
25:04I guess that's what I'll have to do
25:09So I was just a second choice
25:14That whole family is fucking evil
25:18We're both victims here
25:19I got out of this mess
25:21I don't want you to get stuck in it too
25:22Take care of yourself, okay?
25:25Thank you
25:25Really, thank you so much
25:27You deserve so much better than him
25:29Ryan doesn't deserve either us
25:30Let's start over
25:32I'm Wendy
25:33I'm Claire
25:40We didn't fight over a worthless man
25:51Wendy, it's me
25:53Can we talk?
26:08They're at my door again
26:10Ignore them
26:16You're such a good big brother
26:17She's so tiny
26:19I have to take care of her
26:20Thank you
26:21Both of you
26:32He spent the rest of his inn's life alone
26:34With nothing
26:37We made it
26:38Yeah
26:38We did
26:41For you
26:42Thank you
26:44You didn't have to
26:45I wanted to
26:48The deeper I loved him
26:49The deeper I hated him
26:50But now
26:51I feel nothing at all
26:52And that's the real victory
26:53For everyone who was told
26:54They weren't enough
26:55You are
26:56You are
26:56I don't have to
