Short filmTranscript
00:00My ex-husband wanted me back, but I was pregnant with a billionaire's baby.
00:04My husband cheated on me with his brother's wife.
00:06He forced me to take the fall for her crime.
00:10A car crash erased my memory.
00:14A billionaire found me, saved me, and made me his wife.
00:18I thought my nightmare was over. I was wrong.
00:20On the day I went in for my Abagin appointment, hell found me again.
00:24Mom, I finally found you!
00:26Haven't you played this stupid runaway game long enough?
00:29Excuse me, kid. Get off my leg.
00:32Mom, drop the act.
00:34Fine. I'll let you read me a bedtime story tonight if you just go home.
00:38I had no idea who this kid was, but he was out there in traffic, so I took him home.
00:43Seeing my face, a man stood up furiously and kicked my car hard.
00:47Olivia! You finally decided to show your damn face?
00:51Babe, some psycho just attacked me. I'm in...
00:53The crazy man slapped the phone out of my hand.
00:56You took the fall for Mara's felony DUI.
00:59Three years in prison was one thing.
01:01But jumping out of a moving car the day you got out?
01:04You gave Mara severe PTSD?
01:06Get your ass inside and apologize to her right now.
01:09Get your hands off me!
01:11You people are insane!
01:12I don't know you, and I don't know any Mara!
01:16Oh my god! Olivia? You're alive? Where have you been for a year? How could you abandon your own son
01:24just to punish Nate?
01:26Ah!
01:28Bitch! How dare you talk to Dad and Aunt Mara like that!
01:31You claim you're my husband? You claim you're my son? Perfect!
01:37What do I always get at Starbucks? What's my signature perfume? What's my shoe size?
01:42Suddenly, the crazy man in front of me exploded in rage.
01:45Olivia? You want to test me? Are you out of your damn mind?
01:51Listen to me. I don't know you. And I'm already married. Can you see this 37 karat natural diamond on
01:57my hand?
01:58My billionaire husband is literally on his way here in a helicopter. Trust me.
02:02When he sees what you did to my face, you're all screwed.
02:06Nate stared at me like I was insane.
02:09Did that car crash completely scrambled your brain? Your husband? Billionaire?
02:17Mara's eyes locked onto my clothes in my bag.
02:20Those designer clothes are real too. Olivia, who's your sugar daddy?
02:25You shameless whore! Is that why you're pretending not to know me? Sleeping with some rich bastard behind our backs?
02:31What are you now? A high-class prostitute?
02:34He dragged me down to the damp basement and slammed a skimpy maid outfit against my chest.
02:39Put it on. Scrub the floors, wash my clothes, cook my dinner. That's what you used to do for me,
02:46you ungrateful bitch!
02:47One day, while I was scrubbing his bathtub, I felt his heavy breathing against my neck.
02:52Olivia, you've gained some weight, and you've gotten prettier. Looks like that sugar daddy trained you well.
02:58Let me see if he left any marks on you.
03:00Get off me!
03:02I slapped him across the face so hard my palm stung.
03:05If you touch me again, my husband will make sure you regret it.
03:08He gave me a cold, ugly smile.
03:10You've got a lot of attitude now. I'm your husband. If not me, then who exactly are you saving yourself
03:16for?
03:17I fought him off, crying, shaking, barely breathing. Then suddenly, he stopped. His hand had brushed against the scars on
03:23my back.
03:24What the hell?
03:25Olivia, what are these scars?
03:27He touched my scars, and for the first time, even he looked shaken. Then someone started pounding on the basement
03:33door.
03:33Mara's shaky sobs came through from outside.
03:36Nate, I dreamed about your brother again. I dreamed he came back to kill me.
03:41Nate shoved me away and rushed out. A second later, I heard him pulling her into his arms.
03:47Mara, none of this was your fault. If he hadn't abused you, you wouldn't have killed him by accident. It's
03:53over now. Olivia already took the fall for you. You're safe. I'm here.
03:57His voice turned so soft for her. For me, there was only the cold floor, the dark, and my torn
04:03clothes in my hands.
04:05Charlie, when are you going to find me? Please, find me.
04:11The television behind him cut to breaking news. The television announced a $50 million reward for Charlie Pierce's missing wife.
04:19My heart stopped. I bolted out of the room.
04:23That's him! That's him! That's my husband, Charlie!
04:28Nate stared at the screen, then back at me.
04:31Are you out of your damn mind? That's Charlie Pierce, the world's youngest billionaire. How would some nobody housewife like
04:38you even get near a man like that?
04:40He was my best friend in college. President of our fraternity. Back then, he hated you more than anyone!
04:47My ex-husband said my billionaire husband used to hate me more than anyone?
04:50In college, Charlie used to walk out the second he saw you at a party. He hated you that much,
04:56and now you're crazy enough to say he's your husband?
04:59That car crash really did a number on your brain.
05:02I clenched my fists, ready to argue back. A sharp pain suddenly tore through my lower abdomen.
05:07My baby. I looked at the front door and ran.
05:10Olivia, where the hell are you going? Planning to run off and find your sugar dad again?
05:13Mara grabbed me from behind. I sunk my teeth into her hand.
05:17Oh my god! That psycho bit me! Nate, my hand hurts so bad!
05:21Olivia, are you insane?!
05:23He shoved me so hard, my lower abdomen slammed into the corner of the table. Warm blood started pooling beneath
05:28me.
05:29My baby, please, take me to the hospital.
05:33Then everything went black. When I woke up, the sharp smell of bleach filled my nose.
05:38Pregnant? Amnesia? What the hell is this supposed to mean?
05:41Mr. Nate, she's pregnant and she has dissociative amnesia. Her body is covered in old injuries. This is long-term
05:47abuse. The mind blocks out unbearable memories as a form of self-protection.
05:52Nate went quiet. A few seconds later, his voice came out rough.
05:56I'll make it up to her. But the baby has to go. I'm not raising another man's child.
06:00They weren't trying to save me. They were going to kill my baby. Terror shot through me.
06:05I forced my eyes open and tried to move, but my whole body felt numb. A few medical staff walked
06:11toward me.
06:13I felt the needle slide into my arm when I opened my eyes again. I was strapped to a chair.
06:19I looked down at my flat stomach.
06:21There was no movement anymore. No life. No baby. They had killed my child. My whole body started shaking so
06:29hard my teeth rattled.
06:32You killed my baby?
06:34I'm not raising another man's child. You disappeared for a year, found yourself some rich sugar daddy, and now you're
06:39acting like you don't even know me?
06:41I'm not divorcing you, Olivia. You should be grateful I'm even willing to keep you.
06:46Grateful?
06:48I let out a broken laugh and looked up at him.
06:51You murdered my baby, and you want me to be grateful?
06:54Nate told me about your amnesia.
06:56But don't worry. We're going to help you remember everything very soon.
07:00Stay eye about it. It said electroshock therapy could bring your memory back. You're going to remember everything.
07:05Something inside me snapped. I wasn't afraid anymore. Not of pain, not of death, not of these two monsters.
07:10I clenched my teeth so hard my jaw hurt. If I was going to die here, I'd drag them straight
07:15to hell with me.
07:16You sick twisted animals! You killed my baby and now you want to kill me too?
07:21I swear to God you're going to burn for this!
07:24Go ahead, kill me! Come on, I dare you! Are you even human?
07:29Do it.
07:30The machine roared to life. I screamed until my voice broke. And then, I remembered. I remembered all eight years
07:38of it. Every wound. Every second of the agony.
07:41Eight years ago, I was the sorority president. Nate was just a broke frat boy. We met at freshman orientation.
07:49He had nothing. But he chased me like I was his whole world.
07:52Olivia, you are my life. If you die, I die too.
07:59I believed him. That was the biggest mistake of my life. I married him. Then Mara came back from overseas
08:05with Nate's older brother.
08:07That's when I found out what she really was to him. His first love. After that, everything changed. The gifts
08:13Nate bought for me went to her.
08:14She wanted a child, but was afraid of the pain, so she took my son Leo too. And every time
08:20I questioned him, he locked me in the basement.
08:24Then one day, Mara killed someone. And Nate made me take the fall.
08:30I can't go to prison. What about Leo?
08:32Mara's too fragile for prison. You're not. When you get out, we'll make it up to you.
08:39He lied. On my first day in prison, someone squeezed mustard into my eyes. On the second day, I was
08:45shoved down the stairs and broke my arms and legs.
08:48On the third day, my bed was crawling with maggots. For three years, I lived in hell. The day I
08:53got out, Nate came to pick me up.
08:55The second I saw him, I snapped. I jumped out of the moving car. A passing car hit me. I
09:01crashed through the bridge rail and fell into the river.
09:03And that's how I lost my memory. Now I slowly looked at the man and woman standing in front of
09:09me.
09:09Nate grabbed me, almost excited, and wiped the blood from the corner of my lips.
09:13Well, honey, do you remember now?
09:17I remember.
09:18You killed my child!
09:20Nate's face twisted with rage.
09:22What the hell is wrong with you?!
09:24Mara stepped forward, calm as ever.
09:26Looks like Olivia still hasn't remembered enough.
09:29I know a remedy from my hometown. One silver needle and her amnesia will be cured for good.
09:36Then Leo knocked on the door.
09:38Dad! Uncle Charlie is downstairs! He wants to see you!
09:42Nate froze.
09:43What is he doing here?
09:44Mara smiled sweetly.
09:46Maybe he's here to offer you that high-paying job. Go on. Leave Olivia to me.
09:52The second the door shut, her smile vanished. She grabbed my face hard, her expression turning vicious.
09:59Olivia, you bitch! Why did you come back? I won't let any woman who tries to take Nate from me
10:04stay alive. Go to hell!
10:07She raised the needle. I kicked her hard in the stomach, tore free from the restraints, and ran for the
10:11door.
10:12Charlie!
10:14Downstairs, Charlie froze.
10:15Olivia!
10:16Nate and Charlie both ran toward me. Charlie got there first. He pulled me into his arms, and his voice
10:23cut through the room.
10:24What did you do to my wife?!
10:26He pulled a gun and pointed it at everyone in the room.
10:30If anyone touches her again, I'll kill them.
10:32At that moment, his bodyguards rushed in and surrounded us.
10:36Mr. Pierce, the car is ready. We can get Mrs. Pierce to the hospital now.
10:40Honey, you finally came. Our baby.
10:45For the first time, I saw those emotions in Charlie's eyes, rage, panic, and grief sharp enough to destroy a
10:52man.
10:53Nate said Charlie wasn't taking me anywhere.
10:55Charlie, you're not taking her. She is my wife.
10:58No, she's my wife. You think money can buy anything? Then you're wrong.
11:02I have the marriage certificate. I searched for her for an entire year. Olivia has only one husband, and it's
11:09me.
11:10He turned to Charlie like a madman desperate to prove he still owned me.
11:14What the hell is wrong with you? Back in college, weren't you the one who hated Olivia the most?
11:19Every time I brought her up, your face would darken.
11:22So why are you here trying to take my wife now? Because I loved her too much.
11:26The whole room went still.
11:28I looked at Charlie completely thrown. Confusion hit me so hard I could barely think.
11:33Charlie looked at Nate. Then finally, he spoke.
11:36I fell in love with her before you ever did. But she chose you, so I stayed away.
11:40I didn't want to see her, and I was even more afraid of hearing anything about her.
11:44If I had known she would go through all that after ending up with you, I would have killed you
11:48immediately!
11:48The next second, I heard a gunshot.
11:51Nate!
11:52Blood spilled, and Mara lost her mind. She ran toward him, glaring at Charlie.
11:57Are you insane? This is Nate's house! How dare you bring a gun in here and start shooting!
12:02One of Charlie's bodyguards hit her so hard she crashed to the floor. Broken glass sliced across her face. Blood
12:08streamed down her skin.
12:09On the stairs, Leo started crying. The bodyguards yanked him back and covered his mouth.
12:14No matter how unwilling Nate was, all he could do was watch Charlie carry me away.
12:19Mara clutched her face.
12:20My face! My face! Am I going to be disfigured?
12:25Nate suddenly started wondering if I had told the truth.
12:28Mara, what if Olivia was telling the truth? What if she really is married to Charlie?
12:33The image of Olivia in Charlie's arms burned into Mara's mind. Jealousy tightened around her chest.
12:40That's impossible! She must have lied to him!
12:42Her face twisted with hatred.
12:45If Charlie knew she'd been to prison, do you really think he'd still want her?
12:49If he knew she already had a child, do you think he'd still stay?
12:52She's nothing but the woman you threw away!
12:55Nate had never heard Mara sound like that before, so bitter, so vicious.
12:59But he was losing too much blood to think. Then his face turned cold.
13:03Tomorrow, bring Liko to the hospital. I will use our son to get her back.
13:10I woke up in the ICU. Charlie burst into the ICU. His eyes were bloodshot.
13:16Olivia, I swear to God, Olivia, I'll make them pay. No one will ever hurt you again.
13:21I looked at Charlie, and for the first time, a sudden fear hit me.
13:25What if one day he loved someone else, just like Nate did? Can you really promise me that? Will you
13:30stay loyal?
13:31I've loved you since college. Ten years. Even when you chose him, I still loved you.
13:36Nate is a monster. I'm not.
13:38After you lost your memory, I broke into Nate's house. I put hidden cameras in their bedroom.
13:42I had to make sure they weren't looking for you for you. I just didn't bug the kid's room.
13:48I stared at him. Part of me felt safe in his arms. Part of me suddenly realized how far this
13:54man would go for me.
13:55If Leo hadn't found you, we'd still be happy. You never would have remembered any of it.
14:00A chill ran through me. I asked Charlie to promise me he wouldn't hurt Leo.
14:04He stayed outside the door, listening to their screams while a guard placed the file in his hand.
14:09He looked down and turned the pages one by one, his face growing colder with each word.
14:14In the end, Charlie let the file slip from his hand, papers scattering across the floor.
14:19Then he pushed the door open and walked in. You locked her up. You let them torture her.
14:24You killed our baby! If you touch me again, Olivia will hate you for the rest of her life.
14:28Charlie didn't even blink. If she hates me, I'll spend my whole life earning her forgiveness.
14:34By then, even Nate understood Charlie was never going to stop.
14:38Bring in the chairs. Bring the boy to Olivia's room.
14:41Charlie came back smelling like cedarwood. He'd already washed Nate's blood off his hands.
14:46He told me everything he'd done to Nate and Mara. He thought I'd be afraid of him.
14:50That's my husband. Charlie handed me divorce papers and everything he owned.
14:56Charlie, I whispered, suddenly terrified of my own husband.
15:01Promise me you won't hurt Leo.
15:03Of course, darling. Wait for me.
15:06Down in the lobby, Nate and Mara were screaming at security.
15:09Charlie walked out of my room, slowly unbuttoning his cuffs. He didn't say a word.
15:13He walked straight up to Nate and hit him so hard I heard the crack from upstairs.
15:19Nate!
15:20Mara screamed as Charlie's guards forced her to her knees.
15:23You sick bastard! How dare you touch her! Olivia's my wife! We have a son! You hid her from me!
15:30Mr. Pierce, don't let her fool you. She went to prison!
15:34Watch your mouth.
15:36Charlie had them dragged into the basement and locked in.
15:39He stayed outside the door, listening to their screams while a guard placed the file in his hand.
15:44He looked down and turned the pages one by one, his face growing colder with each word.
15:49In the end, Charlie let the file slip from his hand, papers scattering across the floor.
15:54Then he pushed the door open and walked in.
15:57You locked her up. You let them torture her.
15:59You killed our baby!
16:01If you touch me again, Olivia will hate you for the rest of her life.
16:04Charlie didn't even blink.
16:06If she hates me, I'll spend my whole life earning her forgiveness.
16:09By then, even Nate understood. Charlie was never going to stop.
16:13Bring in the chairs. Bring the boy to Olivia's room.
16:16Charlie came back smelling like cedarwood. He'd already washed Nate's blood off his hands.
16:21He told me everything he'd done to Nate and Mara. He thought I'd be afraid of him.
16:25That's my husband.
16:26Charlie handed me divorce papers and everything he owned.
16:30He held me like he'd been waiting for me to pull away.
16:33Sign divorce papers, asset transfers. Everything I own is yours now.
16:37If I ever hurt you, you leave. I get nothing.
16:40I trust you, Charlie.
16:41Charlie hesitated.
16:43There's one more thing.
16:44My biological son looked at me like I was something dirty.
16:47Where did you hide my aunt Mara and dad, you bad woman?
16:51Charlie stepped closer.
16:52Olivia, if you want him, I'll adopt him.
16:54Charlie offered to make Leo his only heir.
16:57I'll even get a visexomy. He can stay the only heir.
17:00No.
17:00When Nate sent me to prison, my last phone call was to Leo.
17:04He said he wanted Mara to be his real mom.
17:07I don't want you either! I want my parents!
17:09That should've hurt. Instead, it only made everything clear.
17:13Fine. Then let's go downstairs and see the parents you still want so badly.
17:17I took Leo down to the basement.
17:20The basement smelled like blood and bleach.
17:22Olivia!
17:23He choked out.
17:24Thank God. Charlie's insane.
17:26Call the cops. Get us out of here. We can be a family again.
17:29You wanted your parents. Here they are.
17:30How can you do this?
17:32He's your son!
17:33Get us to a hospital and come back where you belong!
17:36Read it.
17:37I threw the file at him.
17:39The file proved Mara had paid inmates to torture me.
17:42Your precious Mara paid inmates to torture me.
17:44And she didn't kill your brother in self-defense!
17:47He caught her cheating!
17:48So she murdered him to keep your family's money!
17:51That was for my babies.
17:54I was about to slap him a third time, but Charlie caught my wrist.
17:58The next second, he pulled me back against his chest and pressed a kiss to my hair.
18:03Like he couldn't even bear the thought of my hand hurting over trash like him.
18:07Nate slowly turned toward Mara.
18:10You lying bitch!
18:11Mara screamed and clawed at him.
18:13You're the idiot who believed me!
18:15Leo finally called me.
18:18Mommy.
18:19Mommy.
18:20For the first time in years, he called me that.
18:22Too late.
18:23I pulled my dress from his hands.
18:25I'll make sure you're fed.
18:27If your father ever gets out, he can come find you himself.
18:31And together, we left them all in the dark.
18:33Mara got life without parole.
18:36Nate got seven years.
18:37Leo went into the system, and I buried that entire life without a funeral.
18:42Charlie took me far away from everything that had once belonged to Nate.
18:46Charlie took me to Europe.
18:47Far from the prison.
18:49Far from the lies.
18:50Far from every version of me that had ever belonged to Nate.
18:53For the first time in years, I could breathe.
18:56For the first time in years, I didn't wake up afraid.
18:58For the first time in years, I could believe my life might really be over.
19:03And a new one had begun.
19:04But healing was never instant.
19:06Not after prison.
19:07Not after betrayal.
19:09Not after losing everything.
19:10Charlie stayed quietly.
19:12Patiently.
19:13He never asked me to forget.
19:15He only stayed long enough for me to learn how to live again.
19:18Two years later, I was standing in front of the villa windows with Charlie behind me.
19:23Two years later, I stood in front of the floor to ceiling windows of our villa.
19:27The light spilled across the glass.
19:29The air was warm.
19:30And for once, my life felt still.
19:33Charlie stepped behind me.
19:34What should you name her, Mrs. Pierce?
19:35He murmured against my neck.
19:37I smiled and leaned back into him.
19:39After everything, I had made it here.
19:41I told him I only had one wish for our daughter.
19:44Anything you want.
19:45I whispered.
19:46As long as she's our baby.
19:48Charlie smiled against my hair.
19:50No lies.
19:51No basement.
19:52No prison bars.
19:53No one waiting to take what was mine.
19:55Just us.
19:56Just the child we had protected through blood and madness.
19:59Just a life that belonged to me again.
20:01Old Olivia had died a long time ago.
20:03The woman in Charlie's arms was someone stronger.
20:06Simone who had survived every version of hell.
20:09And this time, nobody could ever drag me back.
20:11Ex-husband wanted me back.
20:13But by the time he realized what he had lost, it was already over.
20:17I had her ending.
20:18I had his sentence.
20:19Leo had his fate.
20:20I had finally buried that entire life without a funeral.
20:23Charlie took me somewhere no one could touch me.
20:25And for the first time, love didn't feel like a trap.
20:28It felt like shelter.
20:30I had once lost my memory.
20:32Then I got it back.
20:33And with it, every wound.
20:34But I also got something else back.
20:36Myself.
20:37And this time, I didn't belong to any man who broke me.
20:40I belonged only to the life I chose.
