00:00hey jenna congrats i heard you and ethan just had a baby girl i was thunderstruck because of work
00:06separation i haven't seen my husband for a year she didn't notice anything was wrong i'll definitely
00:11be there this weekend for the baby's welcome party she waved the invitation in her hand look at this
00:17design right i forced a smile and took the invitation from her trying to look calm in the
00:22father section i saw my husband's name ethan walker in the mother section wendy foster i didn't know
00:29this woman i memorized the hotel address then handed the invitation back that weekend i went to the
00:35hotel on the invitation the party was lively a pretty woman stood at the entrance holding a one
00:40month old baby girl greeting guests she smiled at me you must be from my husband's office his company
00:46really does hire all the pretty ones please come in waves of shock crashed inside me i looked at the
00:51baby in her arms she was fair skinned and clean her eyes and brows had a trace of ethan i
00:57kept my face
00:58blank and asked where's ethan ethan went to pick up my in-laws they'll be here soon two days ago
01:04my
01:05in-laws had told me they booked a senior tour group and would be traveling for two weeks i was
01:10worried
01:10their retirement savings wouldn't cover it so i sent my mother-in-law 1200 as a travel fund all these
01:17years i treated them like my own parents i never thought they'd been lying to me just like ethan
01:23wendy didn't notice the storm brewing behind my eyes she led me to the section reserved for ethan's
01:28co-workers man ethan's so lucky gorgeous wife and now a daughter who's even prettier several men and
01:36women chimed in wendy you made the right call i'll admit i was a little worried when you quit your
01:41job
01:41to stay home six years later you and ethan are still this happy and now you have a baby together
01:47i'm so happy for you guys my nails digging into my palms i realized that my marriage to ethan was
01:54only seven years old and he'd been cheating on me with wendy for over six of them what's even more
01:59ridiculous i'd had no idea for seven whole years even this morning he'd sent me his usual good morning
02:06kiss emoji and a text thinking of you babe for the past seven years we had a good marriage he'd
02:13never
02:13lost his temper with me he told me his salary was five eight zero zero and kept only one five
02:19zero for
02:20himself and gave me the rest he used his annual bonus to buy me a bracelet every year a year
02:25ago
02:26he talked to me about a relocation for work that would raise his monthly salary by one thousand five
02:31hundred dollars he said we needed to think about our son's future after much thought i agreed to let
02:37him relocate to a city a thousand miles away now i saw that he was like night itself i could
02:42no longer
02:43see him clearly at all ethan's doing great he's been top salesman for years his base salary is five
02:49eight hundred dollars and he rakes in commissions every month i realized then that the salary he told
02:54me was only his base pay and his commissions were used to support his other family wendy you really know
03:01how to handle your man tell me your secret how does ethan listen to you and treat you so well
03:06i was curious too i glanced at wendy without changing my expression it's just that ethan is a good guy
03:15i'm lucky to have found him husband and wife need to understand each other if you worried he might cheat
03:20just keep control of the money ethan gives me his whole paycheck and only keeps a hundred and fifty
03:25dollars a month for cigarettes and he uses his bonus to buy me a bracelet every year
03:31you know what they say where his money goes his heart follows he gave wendy his bonus to buy
03:38bracelets then what had he been giving me they chatted animatedly completely oblivious to me standing
03:44there like an iceberg silent out of place frozen wendy's phone rang she smiled
03:52it's ethan calling me here hold her for a sec she casually placed the baby in my arms the baby
03:58light as a ball of cotton lay quietly in my arms she opened her bright eyes and didn't cry or
04:03fuss
04:04i looked at her with complicated emotions even though i felt like falling apart seeing this soft
04:09little creature i pushed the emotions down wendy stood right next to me ethan's voice came clearly
04:15through the phone babe you just finished postpartum recovery don't overdo it okay i picked up mom and
04:21dad don't worry i'm not tired take your time seriously don't rush as soon as she hung up a
04:28chorus of envious voices rose you two are so sweet at the office he texts you every single hour wendy
04:36you really found a good one even if every other guy cheated ethan never would i used to think ethan
04:43was very attentive to me calling and texting every day even though the calls were short under a minute
04:48but i never suspected he was unfaithful work family the child all the big and small things filled my
04:55time he was also busy with work i never imagined he was sharing every little detail of his life with
05:00another woman i carried the baby and found an empty seat i noticed the baby was wearing a custom silver
05:06bracelet the charm was a star i recognized it immediately seven years ago when i first found
05:12out i was pregnant with twins a boy and a girl my mother had ordered a matching pair of silver
05:18bracelets from a jeweler one with an angel charm one with a star she traveled a thousand miles to an
05:24old
05:24church to have them blessed but fate wasn't kind there were complications during delivery and only our
05:30son survived i was devastated the birth had damaged my uterus and i could no longer have more children
05:36of the pair the angel bracelet had been worn by my son from the day he was born the star
05:42one i kept
05:42carefully locked in our home safe whenever i thought of the daughter i'd never held i'd take out that
05:48bracelet and cry for a long time my hands trembled as i touched the star pattern and gently turned it
05:53over engraved on the back were the letters eleanor that was my mother's name i'd chosen it for my
05:59unborn daughter to honor her my daughter's name is eleanor ethan picked it wendy walked over smiling and
06:06sat down next to me he also had this bracelet custom made for her you have no idea how much
06:11he loves
06:12having a daughter my heart shattered into tiny pieces i forced myself to stay calm he treats you
06:18well wendy smiled and chatted as if we were old friends you must be pretty new at the company i
06:24used to
06:24know all the old employees after i left ethan told me they hired a lot of new people i gave
06:30an
06:30insincere the company treats people well but there's a lot of travel ethan only stopped traveling
06:36this past year he used to travel all the time we'd barely see each other for weeks but now we've
06:44made
06:44it through bitter smile touched my lips yay before ethan was relocated out of state a year ago he used
06:50to
06:50travel about half of every month i felt bad for him always moving from city to city so i never
06:56asked
06:57him to worry about anything at home when his parents got sick needed hospital stays or required care i
07:03never made him handle any of it even the intimacy between us had dwindled over the years but i never
07:08complained now i understood he'd never been on business trips he'd been taking care of another home
07:15wendy showed no sign of taking the baby back she got up from time to time to greet more friends
07:20and relatives she looked at the baby quiet and content in my arms and said in surprise my daughter
07:26really likes you when i ask my friends to hold her she always cries you've been holding her for so
07:32long
07:32and she hasn't cried at all it's amazing i said flatly maybe it's because i have a kid too i've
07:38had
07:38practice well then thanks for holding her i need to go greet some new arrivals she was delighted and
07:44didn't stand on ceremony i nodded she walked off to greet the guests without a worry i looked at the
07:50large banner hanging in the center of the room it read welcome eleanor i felt as if my body had
07:56been
07:56filled with shards of glass my son had never had a welcome party at the time the whole family was
08:02drowning in the pain of losing the other twin ethan had insisted we not hold a celebration my parents
08:08disagreed they thought a welcome party was an important milestone but he refused saying the
08:13grief of losing her daughter was too much and now that he had a daughter he was perfectly happy to
08:18throw a big celebration i was the only one who still remembered the daughter who never got to be
08:23born suddenly my mother-in-law called i didn't hesitate i answered jenna did you see the text i sent
08:30you her voice sounded normal no my voice was as cold as ice are you at the supermarket or something
08:35it's noisy go read my text i can't hear you just message me back she hung up i opened the
08:42messaging
08:43app 20 minutes ago she'd sent me jenna i need three thousand dollars transfer it now don't ask questions
08:51my fingers gripping the phone turned white blood rushed to my head not only had his whole family
08:56been lying to me but now they wanted me to pay for the illegitimate daughter's gift i was so angry
09:02i
09:02laughed i didn't reply she texted again did you send it yet after all i've done for you you can't
09:08even help family i still didn't reply i was waiting for her to show up at the party a moment
09:14later another
09:15message came she scolded me i always thought you had some decency i was wrong you're worthless fine
09:22don't expect anything from us ever again a mocking cold smile curled on my lips all those words about
09:29i treat you like my own daughter you're wonderful the walker family is so lucky to have you all of
09:34it
09:35had been lies a joke at my expense wendy came back while still on the phone i clearly heard ethan's
09:41voice from the receiver babe mom found another bracelet for our little treasure you don't have
09:46to buy anything our baby already has plenty of jewelry ethan added this one's different it's the
09:52angel bracelet that was blessed at the old church it's special not like ordinary jewelry my blood
09:59boiled i was so angry i almost lost control two days ago my son leo left for summer camp before
10:05he
10:05left margaret made him take off his bracelet so he wouldn't lose it he took it off and gave it
10:11to her
10:11for safekeeping i never imagined she'd now give my son's bracelet to ethan's illegitimate daughter
10:16tell her thanks wendy smiled sweetly whatever just get everything ready we'll be there in 10
10:21we're almost there see you soon as soon as she hung up wendy reached for the baby but then she
10:27saw more
10:28guests arriving and hurried off to greet them again i kept holding their illegitimate daughter
10:32the baby stayed remarkably quiet in my arms i looked at her silently you're welcome party will be
10:39unforgettable for everyone finally i heard the voices of ethan and his family arriving late
10:45i carried his illegitimate daughter onto the small stage babe where's our baby as he asked wendy i
10:52picked up the microphone and said in a voice dear your bastard is right here in my arms for a
10:59second
10:59the room went completely silent every eye turned to me on the stage then chaos erupted the guests buzzed
11:06like boiling water ethan looked like he'd been struck by lightning he stared at me frozen my in-law's
11:12faces turned even pallor wendy looked dazed as if she'd been hit by a truck but her instinct was still
11:18to trust ethan she hurried over to me trying to keep her emotions in check and spoke gently i'm sorry
11:25i don't know your name i thought you were one of ethan's co-works are you and ethan having some
11:29kind
11:29of conflict we can talk it out please give me the baby first okay my cold face and sharp eyes
11:37frightened
11:37her she reached out carefully afraid i might hurt the baby if she made the wrong move i didn't hand
11:43the baby over instead i said i've been his legal wife for seven years we have a six-year-old
11:49son do
11:50you think we have a conflict wendy's face went white her legs buckled and she stepped back tears streamed
11:56down her face that can't be i stared at ethan and asked coldly honey tell me how many years have
12:04we been married the word honey dripped with sarcasm everyone's eyes burned into ethan like fire
12:10his face flushed red all the way to his neck he stood there frozen i always thought ethan was
12:15divorced turns out he never even left his first wife so which one's his actual wife how does a guy
12:21end up with two no wonder that woman on stage didn't say a word earlier i could tell something
12:27was off i looked at my in-laws who were also humiliated and awkward dad mom i said deliberately
12:34tell everyone which one of us is your daughter-in-law wendy stared hard at them too my in-laws
12:41lowered their
12:42heads and didn't answer ethan looked like a man with a knife at his throat he walked onto the stage
12:47one painful step at a time wendy cried and grabbed his arm tell me what's going on which one of
12:55us is the
12:55other woman ethan tried to calm her guilt heavy in his voice don't get upset i'll explain everything
13:01wendy wouldn't let it go i want you to tell me right now she pointed at me with the hand
13:07that
13:07wore her wedding ring she's crashed our baby's welcome party this needs to be cleared up in front
13:12of everyone whether i'm the other woman or she is we were both deceived by you we're both victims
13:18i recognized that ring when ethan and i got married i'd fallen in love with that exact design
13:24but it cost 2500 too expensive i'd settle at for a 250 gold band instead back then ethan's eyes had
13:32reddened with guilt he promised me that someday when he could afford it he'd buy it for me now he
13:38could afford it and it was on another woman's finger ethan looked up at me a mess of emotions
13:43swirled in his eyes shame fear guilt his lips moved with difficulty i'm sorry let's not do this here
13:50can we go home and talk his voice was so low that only the three of us could hear i
13:55was so angry i
13:56could feel my teeth grinding i deliberately raised the microphone what did you say dear my voice carried
14:04to every corner of the room go home which home the one with me or the one with wendy
14:12he was even more ashamed unable to face me he stepped forward and reached for the microphone
14:19please stop i stepped back and pulled the microphone away answer me how many families do
14:26you have who is your wife what are you even doing here today wendy stepped closer pulling at his arm
14:31tell
14:31her ethan was forced to answer you're my wife i'm sorry i shouldn't have cheated the crowd erupted
14:40again wendy broke down crying and pounded his chest then what am i how could you do this to me
14:46suddenly
14:46she remembered something no we have a marriage certificate i'm your lawful wife you married me
14:55properly ethan couldn't look at her he had to admit it the marriage certificate is fake wendy's legs gave
15:02way she collapsed onto the floor her sobs heartbreaking she screamed at him through tears
15:07fake you gave me a wedding gift you gave me a wedding you were there when my parents died
15:14and now we have a child and you tell me it's all fake ethan how could you do this to
15:19me ethan stood
15:20between wendy and me trapped by his own guilt not knowing which way to turn i spoke to wendy he
15:25treated you better than he ever treated me he gave me his base salary fifty five hundred dollars a
15:30month every penny of his commissions went to you every year he bought you real tiffany bracelets
15:36the ones he gave me were fake his story about being relocated for work also fake he's been living
15:42with you openly playing the role of your husband i lifted her daughter's wrist and shook the silver
15:46bracelet on it do you know where this bracelet came from she looked confused waiting for me to explain
15:52seven years ago i was pregnant with twins a boy and a girl my mother had a matching pair of
15:59custom
15:59bracelets made one with an angel charm one with a star she had them engraved with the name eleanor
16:05and took them to an old church to be blessed oh and your daughter's name i chose it for the
16:10daughter
16:10i never got to hold i never imagined he'd give my daughter's things to your daughter my voice caught
16:16even now thinking about the baby i'd lost still cut like a knife i looked at my in-laws standing
16:21in the crowd my dear mother-in-law wanted to take the angel bracelet my son wears and give it
16:27to this
16:27nameless granddaughter my heart turned to ice all those years of care and this was how they repaid me
16:33it feels like a knife stabbed into my throat for seven years of marriage how did i treat you seven
16:40years how many times have you been in the hospital i was the one by your bedsides taking care of
16:45everything
16:45a few days ago you said you were going on a trip i sent you one twelve hundred dollars for
16:50it
16:51i treated you like my own parents and you how did you treat me how did you treat your only
16:56grandson
16:58margaret publicly called out looked like she wanted to crawl into a hole the surrounding
17:02guest's comments stripped the old couple of any remaining dignity i can't believe it the guy's a total
17:08jerk and his parents actually enabled him to cheat like father like son the whole family's a disgrace
17:14she was a good wife they didn't deserve her anyone would be unlucky to marry into that family
17:19ethan wrapped his arms around me his voice thick with tears sorry i'm such an you've worked
17:27so hard i won't make the same mistake again forgive me this once i've been such a jerk
17:33wendy watched him her tears also turned into a bitter laugh she grabbed ethan's arm then she slapped
17:40him as hard as she could what about me how are you gonna make this up to me you bastard
17:45her whole
17:46body was shaking her delicate makeup ruined by tears ethan said guiltily i'm sorry i lied to you
17:53and i wasted your time you'll find someone better than a piece of garbage like me wendy laughed hysterically
18:02garbage garbage
18:04ethan barely glanced at her he looked back at me his eyes red again
18:09babe can we go home i looked down at the baby
18:12what about her what do you plan to do i know you always wanted a daughter if you're willing to
18:18raise
18:18her we can keep her wendy stumbled toward me and fell to her knees her voice trembled please
18:25please give me my baby back she reached out carefully terrified that if she upset me
18:31i won't fight you for him you can have him she sobbed
18:36don't take my baby i swear i didn't know he had a family seeing her so desperate for her child
18:41as a
18:41mother myself i felt for her i started to remove the bracelet from the baby's wrist wendy flinched wanting
18:47to tell me to be gentle but afraid to speak don't worry i won't hurt her wendy pleaded she's hungry
18:56let me feed her please give her back i need you to answer a few questions first she nodded ready
19:04to tell me anything how much money did ethan give you including the engagement gift the wedding
19:10everything without hesitation she looked me in the eye he gave me 25 000 as a wedding gift
19:18after we got married he gave me between 4 000 and 7 000 a month and every year he used
19:24his bonus to
19:25buy me a bracelet i know you could sue me for every penny he gave me so i'm not lying
19:30i was calmer
19:31now if i ask you to pay it back will you she nodded yes give me your account number i'll
19:38transfer
19:38it right now i was surprised by how quickly she agreed i pulled out my phone and showed her my
19:43account
19:44details wendy took out her phone and made the transfer within a minute 360 000 appeared in my
19:51account the money is yours i just want my baby can i have her back now i walked over helped
19:58her up and
19:59gently placed the baby in her arms this is your child no one is going to take her from you
20:04she held the baby tightly terrified of losing her again and finally let out a breath of relief
20:10then i added i'll take the money but i don't want the man with that i turned and walked out
20:16of the
20:16party ethan followed me immediately we went back to the house we'd shared for seven years in the
20:22living room a family portrait hung on the wall it used to warm my heart to see it when i
20:26came home
20:27from work now it felt like a knife cutting into my chest ethan came closer and tried to put his
20:32arm
20:32around me there won't be a next time just this once don't touch me ethan didn't dare come closer
20:40he begged i'm sorry babe i was out of my mind i promise i'll cut her off completely
20:47we can be a happy family again please my in-laws came back margaret spoke with a heavy
20:53fake apologetic tone jenna i know this is hard on you but there's nothing i can do that baby is
20:58still ethan's
21:00i hope you can stop dwelling on this just go back to living your life like before what's done is
21:05done
21:05harold said don't bring it up again just focus on the family i glared at ethan i'm divorcing you
21:10you make me sick his eyes reddened what do i have to do for you to forgive me anything i'll
21:16do anything
21:17hatred surged inside me get out i was breaking down my voice cracking he finally understood that i would
21:25never forgive him i went to the bedroom and locked myself inside i saw our wedding photo on the wall
21:31ethan smiling his arms around me from behind i couldn't stand it for another second i climbed onto
21:37the bed with my shoes on took down the photo and stabbed a pair of scissors into ethan's face again
21:43and again outside ethan kept begging then i called my lawyer rachel and told her everything my hands were
21:51shaking but not from fear i want every penny back she laughed that's my girl i'll have the paperwork
21:58ready by morning i hung up and opened the banking app two clicks later every joint account was frozen
22:03before i left the house i reached my son's bracelet ethan suddenly fell to his knees he grabbed
22:10my hands and begged i know i was wrong for our son's sake give me one last chance please i
22:16yanked my
22:17hands away i went to my other house i'd saved most of the money ethan gave me over the years
22:22i made about two thousand eight hundred dollars a month from my job i bought this house with the
22:28mortgage a few years ago and paid it off last year we'd planned to leave this house to our son
22:33now it would be our home mine and leo's the next day i realized i'd left my work laptop at
22:39the old
22:40house when i came back to get it i overheard margaret talking to ethan by the door jenna's not coming
22:46back a divorce might be for the best wendy has a better temperament her grandparents probably left
22:53her close to a million in cash and property if you marry her it'll all be yours jenna makes nothing
22:58and she's stubborn harold chimed in ethan said listlessly if jenna insists on divorce i don't
23:04have a choice i was completely numb inside i had my lawyer negotiate the divorce terms custody of leo
23:10went to me the rest of the family assets also went to me he sent me many messages begging me
23:16to take him back i ignored them all seeing that i wouldn't change my mind he agreed to the divorce
23:22a month later we signed the divorce papers the day after the divorce was final wendy came to see me
23:29like me she'd lost weight over the past month ethan said you got divorced yes i have full custody i
23:36kept
23:36my tone normal and took a sip of my coffee she gave a weak smile i'm sorry for hurting you
23:41it's not your fault it's ethan's neither of us is to blame i hesitated then decided to be kind i
23:49don't
23:49know if you're considering being with ethan before you decide i want you to hear this i pulled out my
23:53phone and played the recording for her wendy has a better temperament her grandparents left her money
23:59wendy looked deeply hurt she laughed bitterly so i was his second choice
24:06that whole family is garbage i hope you don't fall back in take care of yourself
24:12thank you i really mean it if we just let this go he'll do the same thing to someone else
24:18i said

24:57deep breath and
24:58started recording my name is wendy foster i'm the other woman except i didn't know i was the other
25:04woman ethan told me he was divorced i took the phone back and added a caption ethan walker medical sales
