Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My name is Jessica, Adrian Buckley's wife, a mute who can't speak.
00:00:06Three years of marriage, and he has never acknowledged me in public.
00:00:11Tonight, I receive a text message.
00:00:13Jessica, send a bottle of honey water to my hotel room, room 1888.
00:00:18It's from my husband.
00:00:21I step out into the freezing wind and wait a long time for a taxi.
00:00:27When I arrive at the hotel, the door is left ajar.
00:00:31I push it open, and hear something that tears my heart.
00:00:34Adrian, when are you going to divorce my mute sister?
00:00:36A woman nestles in Adrian's arms.
00:00:38Her voice syrup is sweet.
00:00:39She is my half-sister Eleanor, and also Adrian's first love.
00:00:43After her divorce, she has been tangled up with him raising her child.
00:00:46Why are you here?
00:00:47I freeze for a moment, wanting to sign an explanation.
00:00:52Oh my, Jessica came all this way just to deliver honey water to Adrian?
00:00:58Too bad.
00:00:59He's not even drunk.
00:01:01She snatches the bottle from my hand and tosses it into the trash.
00:01:04In her hand is Adrian's phone.
00:01:06That message was sent by her.
00:01:08The honey water has been delivered.
00:01:10I'll leave now.
00:01:15Adrian, what if she goes back and complains to your family?
00:01:18I'm a single mother with a child.
00:01:20I really can't afford any more trouble.
00:01:23She fake cries, her voice dripping with grievance.
00:01:29Why are you still standing there?
00:01:31Leave.
00:01:31He doesn't look at me, his voice cold and sharp.
00:01:34I hold back my tears and nod.
00:01:39As I walk out of the hotel, I remember what he told me on our wedding day.
00:01:45Other than the title of my wife, I will give you nothing.
00:01:49His first love is my half-sister Eleanor, but because of his grandfather's dying wish, he had to marry me.
00:01:54He has never loved me.
00:01:56I'm the foolish one.
00:01:58Falling in love with someone who is never meant for me.
00:02:01At the elevator, Adrian catches up.
00:02:03I'm a little surprised.
00:02:10He grabs my arm and pulls me back into the room.
00:02:37What are you upset about?
00:02:54Don't you know sign language?
00:02:56Talk to me.
00:02:57He roughly tears at my clothes.
00:03:01I open my mouth, but no sound comes out.
00:03:04I'm mute.
00:03:05I can't even beg.
00:03:07You can't even moan?
00:03:09Poor thing.
00:03:12He touches the tears on my face, brings them to his lips and sneers.
00:03:19I close my eyes, wrap my arms around his neck and press my face against his chest.
00:03:24In three years, I've learned one thing.
00:03:25The more obedient I am, the less I suffer.
00:03:28You.
00:03:29He freezes.
00:03:30He looks down at me.
00:03:32Wet lashes, flushed cheeks.
00:03:34What is he thinking?
00:03:35Then, he kisses away the tears at the corner of my eyes.
00:03:40Roughness turns into caress.
00:03:42Force turns into care.
00:03:44His movements grow gentler, bit by bit.
00:03:47Through the gap in the door, I see Eleanor's face.
00:03:51She watches Adrian being gentle with me, and her fists clench.
00:03:57You damn mute.
00:04:00I won't let you off.
00:04:02She whispers, malice flashing in her eyes.
00:04:06Adrian pulls me into his arms.
00:04:08His heartbeat slows from frantic to steady.
00:04:11In this moment, does he actually like me a little?
00:04:15But I don't know.
00:04:17Behind that door, Eleanor is already planning how to destroy me.
00:04:21The next day, he takes me to the Buckley estate to see his mother.
00:04:26Every visit in three years has been a humiliation.
00:04:30Adrian, it's good that you've returned.
00:04:33But why bring a burden like her?
00:04:36His mother is Cheryl Buckley.
00:04:37She has never liked me.
00:04:39She despises me for being mute.
00:04:41Adrian, when are you planning to have children?
00:04:43Children?
00:04:44He already married a mute woman.
00:04:46Does he need to give me a mute grandchild as well?
00:04:49I would be utterly humiliated.
00:04:51You don't want children either, do you, Adrian?
00:04:53Adrian stays silent the entire time.
00:04:55He doesn't say a single word for me.
00:04:57I remember our first year of marriage, when I had morning sickness.
00:05:00Cheryl told me to abort the baby.
00:05:01I looked to Adrian for help.
00:05:03He didn't say anything then either.
00:05:05His silence was the answer.
00:05:06I lower my head and eat.
00:05:08Mocked by the relatives.
00:05:10Tears falling into my bowl.
00:05:16I need to handle something at the office.
00:05:19Jessica and I are leaving.
00:05:20Adrian!
00:05:21She slams her fist on the chair in anger.
00:05:30He pulls me out of the estate.
00:05:32In the car.
00:05:34I try to sign and ask him where we're going.
00:05:40But he doesn't even look at me.
00:05:42He just starts the engine.
00:05:46I lower my hands and look out the window.
00:05:49Three years.
00:05:50This marriage was a mistake from the start.
00:05:54Is it time for me to let go?
00:06:00Adrian takes me to his company.
00:06:03When the car stops,
00:06:05I follow him inside.
00:06:11At the elevator,
00:06:12Eleanor is already waiting there.
00:06:15When she sees me,
00:06:16her face immediately falls.
00:06:18Why did you bring her to the company?
00:06:20She's my wife.
00:06:21But I just don't like you being with her.
00:06:26Promise me you won't bring her here again, okay?
00:06:32Adrian doesn't answer.
00:06:34But his silence is indulgent.
00:06:37I take the hint,
00:06:38turn around and get back into the car.
00:06:43I don't even know why he brought me here.
00:06:45With just one request from Eleanor,
00:06:47he abandons me.
00:06:49My eyes retten.
00:06:50The driver asks me where I want to go.
00:06:52I wipe away my tears,
00:06:54force a smile,
00:06:55and sign an address.
00:06:56The pet shop.
00:06:58After the elevator doors close,
00:07:00Eleanor leans against Adrian
00:07:01and asks in a coquettish voice,
00:07:04Adrian,
00:07:05when are you going to divorce her?
00:07:09She's the wife my grandfather gave me
00:07:11on his deathbed.
00:07:13I don't want to divorce her.
00:07:15Drop it.
00:07:17Eleanor's face darkens,
00:07:18her teeth clenched.
00:07:20That troublesome little mute.
00:07:23I will definitely get rid of her.
00:07:26I arrive at the pet shop
00:07:27and change into my work uniform.
00:07:29This is my secret.
00:07:31I am an animal communicator.
00:07:33Lexi is the owner of this shop
00:07:34and also my best friend.
00:07:36She learns sign language just for me.
00:07:40Jessica, you're here.
00:07:41Good afternoon, Lexi.
00:07:46Lexi hands me a paper bag
00:07:47with a croissant inside.
00:07:49She's about to say something.
00:07:51When the shop suddenly gets
00:07:52an emergency call,
00:07:54a sheep dog has eaten something bad
00:07:57and needs to be brought in
00:07:59for a stomach pump.
00:08:04Lexi and I go out on the call together.
00:08:07When we reach the club entrance,
00:08:08I let her go inside first
00:08:10while I wait outside.
00:08:12Suddenly,
00:08:13a sharp voice comes from behind me.
00:08:15Jessica?
00:08:15What are you doing here?
00:08:17She looks me up and down,
00:08:19taking in my white coat
00:08:20and gives a mocking smile.
00:08:22You knew Adrian was taking me shopping today
00:08:24so you deliberately showed up
00:08:25dressed like this to seduce him?
00:08:27What's next?
00:08:28Crawling into his bed?
00:08:30I'm not here for him.
00:08:34I'm here for work.
00:08:39Work?
00:08:39What kind of work can a mute do?
00:08:42Eleanor is in the middle of her tirade
00:08:44when her gaze suddenly shifts past me
00:08:46to the road behind.
00:08:47A flicker of triumph crosses her eyes.
00:08:50Adrian is standing by a sleek black luxury car
00:08:53on the phone looking this way.
00:08:58Lexi comes out of the club
00:08:59and overhears this.
00:09:00She rushes over to me
00:09:01and stands up for me.
00:09:03What are you saying?
00:09:04Watch your mouth!
00:09:07Who do you think you are?
00:09:10How dare you talk to me like that?
00:09:13I'm her friend.
00:09:14You bully her,
00:09:15I'll hit you.
00:09:18Lexi slaps Eleanor twice.
00:09:25Eleanor screams and tries to fight back
00:09:27when Adrian walks over.
00:09:31What's going on here?
00:09:33Adrian!
00:09:34Jessica brought someone to hit me!
00:09:36They even called me a homewrecker!
00:09:46He lifts Eleanor into his arms
00:09:48and gives me a cold look.
00:09:52Jessica,
00:09:52I'll deal with you when I get back.
00:09:58He walks away with another woman in his arms
00:10:01without giving me any chance to explain.
00:10:05Lexi stood nearby,
00:10:06watching everything unfold.
00:10:09That's your husband?
00:10:10How have you endured this for three years?
00:10:18I don't want to endure this anymore.
00:10:24It's already dark when I return to the villa.
00:10:27I take a deep breath and push open the door.
00:10:31Adrian is sitting in the living room,
00:10:33an investigation file spread out on the table in front of him.
00:10:40Why did you go to the club?
00:10:42I freeze for a moment,
00:10:44wanting to explain.
00:10:47Were you following Eleanor?
00:10:50Who gave you the nerve?
00:10:52I wasn't.
00:10:53I was just passing by with a friend.
00:10:58That shameless friend of yours,
00:11:00stop seeing her.
00:11:02Lexi is not shameless!
00:11:09If I say she is,
00:11:10then she is.
00:11:11Stop seeing her.
00:11:13I won't.
00:11:14Jessica,
00:11:14do I need to remind you?
00:11:16You're my wife,
00:11:17so you have to obey me.
00:11:18For three years,
00:11:19he never spoke a word for me.
00:11:20He indulged Eleanor in humiliating me.
00:11:23When his mother called me a mute,
00:11:24he stayed silent.
00:11:25In his eyes,
00:11:26I was never his wife,
00:11:27just an obedient tool.
00:11:33Adrian,
00:11:34let's get a divorce.
00:11:37Do you even know what you're saying?
00:11:40I know exactly what I mean.
00:11:43I want a divorce.
00:11:47Adrian's expression shifts abruptly,
00:11:49his eyes turning from anger to disbelief.
00:11:52I don't want your money.
00:11:55I only want a divorce.
00:12:00Dream on.
00:12:09He slams the door and leaves.
00:12:11I collapse onto the floor.
00:12:13Outside,
00:12:14he doesn't go far.
00:12:17He leans against the wall
00:12:19and lights a cigarette.
00:12:22He doesn't know why he's so angry today.
00:12:25All he knows is that
00:12:26the moment I asked for a divorce,
00:12:28beyond the shock and rage,
00:12:30there was reluctance to let go.
00:12:32For the first time,
00:12:34panic sets in.
00:12:37She seems serious.
00:12:41He looks back at the closed door.
00:12:46The next morning,
00:12:48Adrian prepares a table full of dishes.
00:12:58I try to bring up last night,
00:13:00but he cuts me off.
00:13:04I won't stop you from seeing Lexi anymore.
00:13:07Don't be angry.
00:13:10I'm serious.
00:13:11I know that back then,
00:13:13because of your grandfather's dying wish,
00:13:15you married me and couldn't be with her.
00:13:18If you want to rekindle things with your first love,
00:13:21I don't want to stand in the way.
00:13:23I truly want to let you be.
00:13:25Don't be jealous of her.
00:13:26She and I are in the past.
00:13:30I just want to take care of Eleanor and her son now.
00:13:34Don't do anything unnecessary.
00:13:36I won't divorce you.
00:13:38That day at the club,
00:13:39she was the one who came after me first.
00:13:43I want to explain further,
00:13:45but his phone rings.
00:13:54Don't argue anymore.
00:13:56Wait for me after work.
00:13:58He holds me,
00:13:59says this,
00:14:00then leaves in a hurry.
00:14:02I stand there,
00:14:04feeling helpless and wronged.
00:14:07After Adrian leaves,
00:14:09I receive a voice message from Lexi.
00:14:12Jessica,
00:14:13the shop got an emergency call.
00:14:15A stray dog by the roadside was hit by a car,
00:14:18fractured and bleeding badly.
00:14:19I quickly wipes my tears,
00:14:21and type back.
00:14:27Then I grab my equipment,
00:14:29and rush out.
00:14:32When I reach the accident site,
00:14:34I push through the crowd,
00:14:36show my work ID,
00:14:37and place my hand,
00:14:39on the stray dog.
00:14:43With just a few gentle strokes,
00:14:46it calms down.
00:14:48Look at that.
00:14:49She just touched it a few times,
00:14:50and the dog stopped barking.
00:14:52Amazing.
00:14:52Who is she?
00:14:53How is she so good with animals?
00:14:56You don't know?
00:14:57She's the pet communicator from that shop.
00:14:59She's famous around here.
00:15:01Jessica!
00:15:03I look up,
00:15:04and see a very familiar face,
00:15:05standing by the stray dog.
00:15:08My childhood neighbor,
00:15:09Lamont Graves.
00:15:10I came back last month.
00:15:12I went to your house to find you.
00:15:16But your father said you were already married,
00:15:18and told me not to disturb you.
00:15:20I don't want to talk about my father,
00:15:22so I changed the subject,
00:15:23and asked what he does now.
00:15:26I'm a doctor.
00:15:29You heal animals,
00:15:30I heal people.
00:15:31That makes us colleagues,
00:15:33doesn't it?
00:15:34He makes me laugh.
00:15:38Let's go for a coffee.
00:15:42As we're talking,
00:15:43a black luxury car pulls up in front of us.
00:15:49Jessica.
00:15:50Adrian gets out and calls my name.
00:15:52I step back in fear.
00:15:53Lamont looks at me with confusion,
00:15:56then instinctively pulls me to his side.
00:16:03Who is this?
00:16:06Aren't you going to introduce us?
00:16:08Hello, I'm Lamont Graves.
00:16:10He ignores Lamont and looks only at me.
00:16:14I'm asking you.
00:16:20I endure the pain of his grip on my waist.
00:16:28He's an old neighbor.
00:16:30Then I sign to Lamont,
00:16:32introducing Adrian as my husband.
00:16:34He's just a neighbor.
00:16:35Was there any need to smile at him so happily?
00:16:38I press my lips together and say nothing.
00:16:41Adrian's hand tightens around my waist.
00:16:44Mr. Buckley,
00:16:45you're hurting Jessica.
00:16:48Is that any of your business?
00:16:53Stay away from my wife.
00:17:00Get in the car.
00:17:03Adrian opens the car door and says coldly,
00:17:06Lamont looks at me with worried eyes,
00:17:08but I can only lower my head and get into the car.
00:17:19The atmosphere in the car is so oppressing,
00:17:22it's hard to breathe.
00:17:23He starts the engine without a word,
00:17:25pressing hard on the gas.
00:17:35After driving for a while,
00:17:37he finally speaks,
00:17:38his voice simmering with rage.
00:17:41What exactly is your relationship with that man?
00:17:48I can see he's truly angry.
00:17:51Fear grips my heart,
00:17:52and my fingers tremble slightly.
00:17:55We were just childhood neighbors.
00:17:57We only reunited today.
00:17:58There's nothing between us.
00:17:59Really.
00:18:01Nothing at all.
00:18:02He doesn't believe me at all.
00:18:10He slams on the brakes,
00:18:12turns to me,
00:18:13and lowers his head,
00:18:14kissings me hard.
00:18:30His kiss is filled with punishment and possession.
00:18:33I can't break free.
00:18:35I start to give in.
00:18:36Then his phone rings.
00:18:38I see Eleanor's name on the screen
00:18:40and suddenly snap back to reality.
00:18:42I've already decided to divorce him.
00:18:44I shouldn't be doing this.
00:18:46I turn my head away from his kiss
00:18:47and push hard against his chest.
00:18:50What's wrong?
00:18:52Your phone is ringing.
00:18:53Answer it.
00:18:54He glances at the phone,
00:18:56hesitates,
00:18:57then answers it.
00:18:59Adrian,
00:19:00Lucas sprained his ankle
00:19:01and won't stop crying.
00:19:02Can you come over?
00:19:04I'll be right there.
00:19:06Get out.
00:19:07I open the door
00:19:09and stand by the roadside.
00:19:10He steps on the gas
00:19:12and the taillights soon disappear
00:19:14into the night.
00:19:15The autumn wine chills me to the bone.
00:19:18I know that no matter how much time pass,
00:19:21he will always abandon me for Eleanor.
00:19:24I smile bitterly,
00:19:26a tear sliding down from the corner of my eye.
00:19:34I walk back to the pet shop.
00:19:36Lamont is still there.
00:19:38Are you okay?
00:19:40I shake my head.
00:19:42My phone number hasn't changed.
00:19:44Remember to contact me if you need anything.
00:19:48A wave of warmth fills my heart.
00:19:51Help me find a lawyer.
00:19:54I want a divorce.
00:19:58Okay.
00:19:59That day,
00:20:00I stay at the pet shop
00:20:01talking with the lawyer
00:20:02until eight at night
00:20:03before finally going home.
00:20:07I push open the door
00:20:10and I'm startled to find Adrian at home.
00:20:18Where did you go today?
00:20:21The pet shop.
00:20:25You're lying to me.
00:20:28He hands me his phone.
00:20:30On the screen is a photo of me talking with the lawyer.
00:20:34You're following me?
00:20:36Aren't you going to explain?
00:20:38You spent the whole day chatting with them,
00:20:40not working.
00:20:41This is my private matter.
00:20:44It has nothing to do with you.
00:20:49Have you forgotten who you are?
00:20:51You're my wife.
00:20:52I've already decided to divorce you.
00:20:56Quit.
00:20:57You're not allowed to work at the pet shop anymore.
00:21:03I won't.
00:21:04If you don't quit,
00:21:06I'll shut that shop down.
00:21:11My face pales.
00:21:12I beg him not to drag my colleagues into this.
00:21:16If you don't want the pet shop to close,
00:21:18then come home.
00:21:19Everything can go back to how it was.
00:21:23I can't do that.
00:21:27I turn and go upstairs,
00:21:29moving into the guest room.
00:21:31In the living room,
00:21:33Adrian grows more and more agitated.
00:21:42He calls his assistant,
00:21:44Cedric.
00:21:47That pet shop.
00:21:51Find a way to shut it down.
00:21:57After hanging up,
00:21:58he goes upstairs
00:21:59and twists open the guest room door.
00:22:04I'm about to change clothes
00:22:05and am startled.
00:22:09He closes the door behind him
00:22:11and pins me down on the bed.
00:22:18Until the divorce papers are signed,
00:22:20we're still husband and wife.
00:22:22What's wrong with this?
00:22:27He presses his body against mine,
00:22:30his burning kisses falling on me.
00:22:34He kisses me while tearing at my clothes.
00:22:40I push him away in panic.
00:22:43His phone rings again.
00:22:49Your phone.
00:22:52Aren't you going to answer?
00:22:56What if something else happens to her?
00:22:59He glances at the phone
00:23:01and snaps out of his daze.
00:23:04Sorry.
00:23:06He pulls on his pants
00:23:07and walks out of the guest room
00:23:08with his phone.
00:23:12The door isn't fully closed.
00:23:14His voice comes through the gap,
00:23:17carrying a trace of warmth.
00:23:19Hello, Eleanor.
00:23:24Five minutes later,
00:23:26he finishes the call
00:23:27and returns to the guest room doorway.
00:23:31I cover my exposed body
00:23:33with the blanket.
00:23:36He doesn't come in.
00:23:39If you want to leave,
00:23:41just go.
00:23:42You don't need to tell me.
00:23:50Get some rest.
00:23:56He says it with apology
00:23:57in his voice,
00:23:59then turns and leaves.
00:24:03The guest room door clicks shut.
00:24:06Darkness floods over me.
00:24:16I press my hands
00:24:18against my aching heart
00:24:19and cry in silence.
00:24:28I think it's better
00:24:30that he's gone.
00:24:33From now on,
00:24:34I won't hold on
00:24:35to any illusions about him.
00:24:41Past nine at night,
00:24:42Adrian doesn't call for a driver.
00:24:44He drives alone
00:24:44to Eleanor's house.
00:25:01As soon as he enters,
00:25:02he hears Lucas crying nonstop.
00:25:15The child can't handle the pain.
00:25:17He's been crying for a while.
00:25:19I can't calm him down,
00:25:21so I called you.
00:25:23He walks to the bedside
00:25:24and looks at Lucas' foot.
00:25:29It's just a minor fracture.
00:25:31Good boys don't stay up late.
00:25:37Lucas nods,
00:25:38but instead of closing
00:25:39his eyes to sleep,
00:25:41he looks at Eleanor.
00:25:44Adrian,
00:25:45can't you stay tonight?
00:26:00Lucas is afraid
00:26:01that his classmates
00:26:02will laugh at him
00:26:03if he goes to school limping.
00:26:06He's so worried
00:26:07he can't sleep.
00:26:08Then don't go to school.
00:26:10Tomorrow I'll go with you
00:26:11to handle the paperwork.
00:26:12Then I'll have some
00:26:13education experts
00:26:14come teach him.
00:26:14Her heart leaps with joy,
00:26:16and it shows on her face.
00:26:18They walk out of Lucas' room
00:26:20and into the living room.
00:26:24Have a drink.
00:26:26She pours Adrian
00:26:27a glass of wine
00:26:28and takes off the jacket
00:26:29draped over her shoulders.
00:26:32She's wearing
00:26:33an extremely sexy nightgown,
00:26:35deep v-neck,
00:26:36no lining in the chest.
00:26:37It's almost like
00:26:38wearing nothing at all.
00:26:39He looks away
00:26:39without changing his expression.
00:26:42Lucas' matter is settled.
00:26:43I'll go now.
00:26:52Adrian,
00:26:53yesterday was my fault.
00:26:56I shouldn't have said
00:26:57that Jessica was embarrassing
00:26:58herself by mixing
00:26:59with that kind of woman.
00:27:00You're not to blame for that.
00:27:02She puts on a gentle,
00:27:04vulnerable look,
00:27:05her eyes reddening.
00:27:06I shouldn't have lost
00:27:07my temper with you either.
00:27:08I was just so worried
00:27:09about her.
00:27:11I was afraid
00:27:12she'd pick up bad habits,
00:27:13and I got anxious
00:27:14and argued with you.
00:27:15He's about to speak.
00:27:16She suddenly throws herself
00:27:17into his arms,
00:27:19wrapping her hands
00:27:20tightly around his waist.
00:27:22She came prepared tonight.
00:27:24Nothing underneath
00:27:25the sexy nightgown,
00:27:26and she's drenched herself
00:27:27in heavy perfume.
00:27:34I'm a bit drunk, Adrian.
00:27:39Could you help me
00:27:40to bed, to rest?
00:27:42I can barely stand
00:27:44on my own.
00:27:53Her hand slides down
00:27:54toward Adrian's waist.
00:28:04He grabs her wrist
00:28:06and throws it aside.
00:28:09Don't do this.
00:28:10I told you,
00:28:12I won't have that kind
00:28:13of relationship with you.
00:28:20Why?
00:28:22You're so good to me,
00:28:23so why won't you touch me?
00:28:29I'm good to you
00:28:30because I owe you.
00:28:33You helped me
00:28:34when I took shelter
00:28:34at the Howard family
00:28:35back then.
00:28:36But that doesn't mean
00:28:37we can cross that line.
00:28:40You're Lucas' mother.
00:28:42I don't want to make
00:28:43things complicated.
00:28:45I'll take care of you,
00:28:46but that's all.
00:28:48Rejected.
00:28:49She feels both
00:28:50embarrassed and furious.
00:28:55I wronged you
00:28:56in the past,
00:28:57but I was forced
00:28:58into it.
00:28:59I've never forgotten you.
00:29:01Don't overthink it.
00:29:02I don't blame you.
00:29:05It's just that the past
00:29:06is in the past.
00:29:07We should both
00:29:08move forward.
00:29:11What about Jessica?
00:29:14What exactly
00:29:15are your feelings
00:29:15for her?
00:29:22I married her
00:29:23because it was
00:29:24my grandfather's
00:29:25dying wish.
00:29:26The purchase
00:29:27back then
00:29:27was always Jessica,
00:29:28but it wasn't
00:29:29my choice.
00:29:35So you don't
00:29:36love her?
00:29:38Then why don't
00:29:39you divorce her?
00:29:40You could marry
00:29:41me instead.
00:29:44Divorce isn't
00:29:44that simple.
00:29:45She's still
00:29:46my wife in name.
00:29:49I can't just
00:29:50throw her out.
00:29:52Besides,
00:29:53she hasn't done
00:29:54anything wrong.
00:29:55But she's
00:29:56standing between us.
00:29:59If it weren't
00:30:00for her,
00:30:01we would have
00:30:02been together
00:30:03long ago.
00:30:06The past
00:30:07is in the past.
00:30:08You need
00:30:09to look forward
00:30:10too.
00:30:10I won't go
00:30:11back on my
00:30:12promises to you.
00:30:13As long as I'm
00:30:14here, you and
00:30:14Lucas won't
00:30:15suffer.
00:30:16But don't
00:30:17bring up
00:30:17divorce again.
00:30:20After saying
00:30:21this, he
00:30:22ignores Eleanor's
00:30:23attempts to
00:30:23stop him
00:30:24and leaves.
00:30:26She smashes
00:30:27the wine glass
00:30:28to pieces,
00:30:29her eyes
00:30:29filled with
00:30:30malice.
00:30:33Jessica,
00:30:34you troublesome
00:30:35mute.
00:30:36I will make
00:30:37you pay for
00:30:38this.
00:30:38By the time
00:30:39Adrian returns
00:30:40to the Iris
00:30:40mansion, I'm
00:30:42already asleep.
00:30:42He goes to the
00:30:43guest room and
00:30:44looks at me.
00:30:45My face looks
00:30:46pale and sickly,
00:30:47the corners of
00:30:48my NC red and
00:30:49swotin.
00:30:50Clearly I've
00:30:51been crying.
00:30:52He reaches out,
00:30:53wanting to touch
00:30:54my face.
00:30:57His fingers
00:30:57stop just before
00:30:58touching me.
00:31:00He suddenly
00:31:01realizes he
00:31:03doesn't love
00:31:04me.
00:31:04He shouldn't
00:31:05make such a
00:31:06tender gesture.
00:31:07His face
00:31:08hardens.
00:31:09He pulls his
00:31:10hand back and
00:31:11turns away.
00:31:15Just then his
00:31:16phone rings.
00:31:20Mr. Buckley,
00:31:21how do you want
00:31:22to handle the
00:31:22matter of your
00:31:23wife working at
00:31:24the pet shop?
00:31:25Mr. Buckley,
00:31:26I found out one
00:31:26more thing.
00:31:27That Lamont
00:31:28Graves, he was
00:31:29Mrs. Buckley's
00:31:29neighbor.
00:31:30They've been
00:31:30close since
00:31:31childhood.
00:31:32The lawyer in
00:31:32the photo last
00:31:33time was also
00:31:34recommended by
00:31:34him.
00:31:35Adrian is silent
00:31:36for a moment.
00:31:37I knew it.
00:31:38She's been led
00:31:39astray by someone
00:31:39else.
00:31:40That's why she
00:31:41wants to divorce
00:31:41me.
00:31:42Jessica must come
00:31:43back home.
00:31:44She can't stay
00:31:45there any longer.
00:31:46Have someone take
00:31:47care of it as
00:31:48soon as possible.
00:31:49Are you saying
00:31:49we should go
00:31:50after that pet
00:31:51shop?
00:31:53Yes.
00:31:54The shop owner
00:31:55is called Lexi,
00:31:56right?
00:31:59Put pressure
00:32:00on her.
00:32:01I don't sleep
00:32:01well that entire
00:32:02night.
00:32:03Nightmares
00:32:04plague me one
00:32:04after another.
00:32:10Has something
00:32:11happened?
00:32:12I get up.
00:32:17I take a shower
00:32:18and put on
00:32:19fresh clothes.
00:32:22Then I go
00:32:23downstairs to
00:32:23make breakfast.
00:32:29I glance at
00:32:31the master
00:32:31bedroom door
00:32:32on the second
00:32:32floor.
00:32:33It's closed.
00:32:34Did Adrian
00:32:35come back
00:32:35last night?
00:32:45I look away
00:32:46and don't dwell
00:32:47on it.
00:32:47After breakfast,
00:32:49I hurry
00:32:49out.
00:33:03When I arrive
00:33:04at the pet
00:33:04shop, the
00:33:05staff are
00:33:05cleaning up
00:33:06and chatting.
00:33:07Jessica, you're
00:33:08here?
00:33:09Why do you
00:33:10look so pale?
00:33:11Are you okay?
00:33:12I sign that
00:33:13I'm fine and
00:33:14walk into the
00:33:15changing room.
00:33:21Time passes.
00:33:22The whole
00:33:23morning goes
00:33:23by and still
00:33:25nothing seems
00:33:25out of the
00:33:26ordinary.
00:33:27Just as I
00:33:27start to wonder
00:33:28if I'm being
00:33:29paranoid.
00:33:40Lexi comes
00:33:41rushing in.
00:33:46Boss, you look
00:33:48terrible.
00:33:48What happened?
00:33:50Don't even ask!
00:33:52I'm so angry!
00:33:54I have no idea
00:33:56which big shot
00:33:57I've offended.
00:33:59Someone wants
00:34:00to buy my
00:34:00little shop.
00:34:02If I don't
00:34:03sell, they say
00:34:04they'll make it
00:34:04impossible for me
00:34:05to stay in
00:34:05Crevalli.
00:34:06Who's that
00:34:06arrogant?
00:34:07Who did you
00:34:08offend, boss?
00:34:10No idea.
00:34:11Anyway, never
00:34:12mind.
00:34:12You guys keep
00:34:13working.
00:34:17Lexi turns to
00:34:18look at me,
00:34:18a strange look
00:34:19in her eyes.
00:34:20My heart
00:34:21skips a beat.
00:34:22I walk over
00:34:23to Lexi
00:34:24and ask her
00:34:24what's really
00:34:25going on.
00:34:26Nothing.
00:34:27Maybe someone's
00:34:28just jealous
00:34:28of my shop.
00:34:29This pet shop
00:34:30is my life's
00:34:31work.
00:34:31How could I
00:34:32ever sell it
00:34:33to someone else?
00:34:34Even if they
00:34:35offered me a
00:34:35fortune, I
00:34:36wouldn't sell.
00:34:37Don't worry.
00:34:38I won't
00:34:39abandon any
00:34:40of you.
00:34:44Everyone cheers
00:34:44for Lexi's
00:34:45generosity and
00:34:46kindness.
00:34:47Only I feel
00:34:48a heavy weight
00:34:48in my heart.
00:34:51Because I know
00:34:52Adrian has
00:34:53made his
00:34:54move.
00:34:57I walk to
00:34:58a corner and
00:34:59call him
00:34:59immediately.
00:35:08Adrian doesn't
00:35:09answer my
00:35:09call.
00:35:10I try again.
00:35:14Still no
00:35:14answer.
00:35:15I think about
00:35:15quitting, so I
00:35:16don't drag
00:35:17Lexi down.
00:35:18Lexi sees
00:35:19what I'm
00:35:20thinking and
00:35:20tells me
00:35:21not to
00:35:21worry.
00:35:22You're my
00:35:23people.
00:35:23Whoever tries
00:35:24to mess
00:35:25with you
00:35:25will have
00:35:25to answer
00:35:26to me.
00:35:27Don't think
00:35:27about quit.
00:35:28The next
00:35:29day, Lexi
00:35:30gets a
00:35:30call, then
00:35:31leaves with
00:35:32an anxious
00:35:32look on
00:35:33her face.
00:35:34She never
00:35:35comes back.
00:35:36The third
00:35:37day, Lexi
00:35:38calls and
00:35:39says she's
00:35:39busy and
00:35:40won't be
00:35:40coming in.
00:35:41Her voice
00:35:42sounds exhausted.
00:35:43The fourth
00:35:43day, there's
00:35:44no word from
00:35:45Lexi at all.
00:35:46Calls won't
00:35:46go through.
00:35:47Messages go
00:35:48unanswered.
00:35:49I can't sit
00:35:50still any
00:35:50longer.
00:35:51I take a
00:35:52day off and
00:35:52go to the
00:35:53Buckley group
00:35:53to find
00:35:54Adrian.
00:35:55This started
00:35:55because of
00:35:56me.
00:35:56I have to
00:35:57solve it
00:35:57myself.
00:36:06The new
00:36:06receptionist
00:36:07doesn't recognize
00:36:08me and won't
00:36:08let me up.
00:36:13I messaged
00:36:14Adrian, no
00:36:16reply.
00:36:17Then, I
00:36:19message his
00:36:19assistant,
00:36:20Cedric.
00:36:22Cedric comes
00:36:23down personally
00:36:23to escort me.
00:36:25He pauses when
00:36:26he sees me.
00:36:29Mrs. Buckley,
00:36:31Mr. Buckley is
00:36:32in a meeting
00:36:33right now.
00:36:33It's not
00:36:34convenient for him
00:36:34to see you.
00:36:35This time, for
00:36:36the sake of my
00:36:37friend, I
00:36:38become firm.
00:36:39I take out a
00:36:40pen and paper and
00:36:41write a few lines
00:36:42forcefully.
00:36:43Is he really too
00:36:44busy to see me or
00:36:45is he deliberately
00:36:46avoiding me?
00:36:47He reads the
00:36:48words, surprised
00:36:49by my
00:36:49aggressiveness.
00:36:53I keep
00:36:53writing, my
00:36:55hands trembling.
00:36:56Tell him to
00:36:57direct all his
00:36:57dirty tricks at
00:36:58me, not at
00:36:59the pet shop
00:37:00people.
00:37:00Otherwise, I
00:37:02will only despise
00:37:03him.
00:37:05Mrs. Buckley,
00:37:05please calm
00:37:06down.
00:37:06I'll take you
00:37:06up right now.
00:37:08He doesn't
00:37:09dare delay any
00:37:10longer and
00:37:10quickly escorts
00:37:11me upstairs.
00:37:13Adrian really
00:37:14is in a
00:37:14meeting.
00:37:15The conference
00:37:15room door is
00:37:16ajar.
00:37:18I push the
00:37:18door open and
00:37:19barge straight
00:37:20in.
00:37:25He leans
00:37:25back in his
00:37:26chair and
00:37:27looks at me
00:37:27coldly.
00:37:43You came to
00:37:44accuse me
00:37:45because of
00:37:45that pet shop?
00:37:47Why are you
00:37:47going after
00:37:48the pet shop?
00:37:54Lexi is
00:37:54innocent.
00:37:56She may be
00:37:56innocent, but
00:37:58what about
00:37:58you?
00:38:01You went
00:38:02behind my
00:38:02back to
00:38:03work there.
00:38:04Did you
00:38:04consider my
00:38:05feelings?
00:38:09That was
00:38:09my job,
00:38:10my freedom.
00:38:16I didn't
00:38:17betray you.
00:38:23He stands
00:38:24up, walks
00:38:25around the
00:38:26desk, and
00:38:27comes to
00:38:27stand in
00:38:27front of
00:38:28me.
00:38:30You're
00:38:31Mrs.
00:38:31Buckley.
00:38:32Everything
00:38:33about you
00:38:33belongs to
00:38:34me.
00:38:36Including
00:38:37your time,
00:38:38including
00:38:38your job.
00:38:40I'm
00:38:40trembling
00:38:40with rage.
00:38:41The first
00:38:42time, I
00:38:43curse him
00:38:43in sign
00:38:43language.
00:38:45Adrian, you
00:38:46have no
00:38:47shame!
00:38:48He
00:38:48understands.
00:38:49He lets
00:38:50out a low
00:38:50laugh, but
00:38:51his eyes
00:38:51turn cold.
00:38:55Little
00:38:56mute, you
00:38:57call me
00:38:57shameless.
00:38:58me.
00:39:01This could
00:39:02have been
00:39:02solved if
00:39:02you had
00:39:03just given
00:39:03in.
00:39:05But you
00:39:06had to
00:39:06let it
00:39:06escalate
00:39:08until everyone
00:39:09loses.
00:39:10He lowers
00:39:11his head and
00:39:11leans close to
00:39:12my ear.
00:39:15If you
00:39:15really want to
00:39:16work so badly,
00:39:17then come work
00:39:18by my side.
00:39:20as a
00:39:21secretary,
00:39:22an assistant,
00:39:23whatever you
00:39:23want.
00:39:25I freeze,
00:39:26unable to
00:39:27believe what
00:39:27he's saying.
00:39:36He
00:39:36straightens up
00:39:37and looks at
00:39:38me with an
00:39:38air of
00:39:38leisure.
00:39:43Dream on.
00:39:44I won't
00:39:45come work
00:39:45by your
00:39:45side.
00:39:50Then
00:39:51watch that
00:39:51shop
00:39:51close.
00:39:52Your
00:39:53colleagues,
00:39:54your
00:39:54friends,
00:39:56they'll
00:39:57all lose
00:39:57their jobs
00:39:58because of
00:39:58your
00:39:58stubbornness.
00:40:01My face
00:40:01pales.
00:40:02I clench
00:40:03my fists.
00:40:04They are
00:40:04innocent!
00:40:07You can't
00:40:08do this
00:40:08to them!
00:40:13Innocent?
00:40:14You
00:40:14drag them
00:40:15into this.
00:40:17If you
00:40:18just bow
00:40:18your head,
00:40:19everything
00:40:20can go
00:40:20back to
00:40:20how it
00:40:21was.
00:40:23I hold
00:40:24back my
00:40:25tears and
00:40:25stare at
00:40:26him defiantly.
00:40:27Back to
00:40:28how it
00:40:28was?
00:40:29Back to
00:40:30the days
00:40:30when you
00:40:31treated me
00:40:31like a
00:40:32tool?
00:40:32I can't
00:40:33do that.
00:40:36his
00:40:37expression
00:40:37shifts,
00:40:39his voice
00:40:39turning
00:40:39colder.
00:40:41What kind
00:40:41of job
00:40:41do you
00:40:42think you
00:40:42can get
00:40:42without
00:40:43me?
00:40:44With
00:40:44one word
00:40:45from me,
00:40:46no one
00:40:46in
00:40:47Cravally
00:40:47will dare
00:40:47hire you.
00:40:50Then
00:40:50I'll leave
00:40:51Crowvale.
00:40:58You
00:40:58want to
00:40:58run?
00:41:01Where
00:41:02do you
00:41:02think you
00:41:03can go?
00:41:05I don't
00:41:05answer.
00:41:06I just
00:41:07look at
00:41:07him with
00:41:08defiance.
00:41:09He
00:41:09suddenly
00:41:09smiles.
00:41:10It's a
00:41:11chilling
00:41:11smile.
00:41:18Little
00:41:19mute.
00:41:20You
00:41:20really
00:41:21surprise
00:41:21me.
00:41:22I
00:41:22take a
00:41:22step
00:41:23back,
00:41:23but he
00:41:24follows.
00:41:29You
00:41:30think I'm
00:41:30threatening
00:41:30you?
00:41:31I'm just
00:41:32telling you
00:41:33the truth.
00:41:35You
00:41:35can't
00:41:36leave me.
00:41:37In an
00:41:37instant,
00:41:38I understand
00:41:38what he
00:41:39means.
00:41:39He wants
00:41:40to cut
00:41:40me off
00:41:40from the
00:41:41outside
00:41:41world and
00:41:42bring me
00:41:42back to
00:41:42his side
00:41:43to keep
00:41:43me as
00:41:44a caged
00:41:44bird.
00:41:45You
00:41:45can force
00:41:45me to
00:41:46quit the
00:41:46pet shop,
00:41:47but I
00:41:47won't come

00:41:51I'll just

00:41:52job.
00:41:53You
00:41:54think you
00:41:54can find
00:41:54one?
00:41:56Then
00:41:56I'll look

00:41:57one.
00:41:59There's

00:44:30of
00:44:30relief.
00:44:31Glad

00:44:37After

00:44:50I
00:44:51arrive
00:44:51at
00:44:51Eleanor's
00:44:52apartment.
00:44:54Suddenly,
00:44:54a ball
00:44:55flies straight
00:44:56at me
00:44:56and hits
00:44:57my stomach
00:44:58hard.
00:44:59I
00:45:00double
00:45:00over in
00:45:01pain,
00:45:01breaking
00:45:02out in
00:45:02cold sweat.
00:45:03It's
00:45:04Lucas.
00:45:07Are
00:45:08you
00:45:08blind?
00:45:09blind?
00:45:10Why
00:45:10did you
00:45:10block
00:45:11my
00:45:11ball?
00:45:12You're
00:45:12so
00:45:12annoying.
00:45:15He
00:45:16shoves
00:45:17me
00:45:17hard.
00:45:21I
00:45:22steady
00:45:22myself
00:45:23and look
00:45:23at the
00:45:23boy
00:45:24coldly.
00:45:28I
00:45:29take out
00:45:29a pen
00:45:30and paper.
00:45:34Do you
00:45:35know who
00:45:35I
00:45:36know who I
00:45:39Sure
00:45:39I know.
00:45:40You're that
00:45:40mute from the
00:45:41Howard family.
00:45:42My mom says
00:45:43you're a
00:45:43disgusting
00:45:44cripple.
00:45:45I sneer and
00:45:46keep writing.
00:45:47I'm your aunt
00:45:47and I'm also
00:45:48your uncle
00:45:49Adrian's wife.
00:45:50If you're rude
00:45:50to me again,
00:45:51I have every
00:45:52right to teach
00:45:53you a lesson.
00:45:55He shrinks
00:45:56back a little.
00:45:58Just then,
00:45:59the front door
00:46:00opens and
00:46:01Eleanor walks
00:46:02out.
00:46:04Lucas,
00:46:05what are you
00:46:05doing?
00:46:08Mom,
00:46:09she's
00:46:09bullying me!
00:46:11He immediately
00:46:11runs to her,
00:46:12wailing.
00:46:28A dark
00:46:29look flashes
00:46:30in her eyes.
00:46:31she coases
00:46:32Lucas to go
00:46:32inside.
00:46:36Then she
00:46:36walks over
00:46:37to me,
00:46:38raises her
00:46:38hand to
00:46:39slap my
00:46:39face.
00:46:41You damn
00:46:42mute.
00:46:42Who do you
00:46:43think you
00:46:43are?
00:46:46I grab her
00:46:47wrist and
00:46:47throw it
00:46:47aside.
00:46:52She's
00:46:52shocked to
00:46:53see me fight
00:46:53back for the
00:46:54first time.
00:46:56Now I
00:46:57know why
00:46:57your son
00:46:57has no
00:46:58manners.
00:47:02he learned
00:47:03it from
00:47:03you.
00:47:08What did
00:47:09you say?
00:47:12Just then,
00:47:13the sound of
00:47:14Adrian and
00:47:15Lucas talking
00:47:16comes from
00:47:16inside.
00:47:17Daddy.
00:47:40What are you
00:47:41talking about?
00:47:45What are you two
00:47:45talking about?
00:47:47nothing much.
00:47:49Just chatting.
00:47:53She reaches out
00:47:55to take my
00:47:55arm.
00:47:56I lift my
00:47:57hand and
00:47:57avoid her
00:47:58touch.
00:48:05Her face
00:48:06falls.
00:48:07She shoots
00:48:08a look at
00:48:08Lucas.
00:48:09Lucas.
00:48:10Ow!
00:48:12My foot
00:48:12hurts so
00:48:13much.
00:48:13It's
00:48:14killing me.
00:48:20His expression
00:48:21darkens.
00:48:22He picks up
00:48:23Lucas.
00:48:25What
00:48:26happened?
00:48:29It was
00:48:30Eleanor.
00:48:30She blocked
00:48:31Lucas' ball and
00:48:32they started
00:48:33arguing.
00:48:38she said
00:48:39she was
00:48:39going to
00:48:39punish him
00:48:40and Lucas
00:48:41got scared
00:48:42and twisted
00:48:42his ankle
00:48:43again.
00:48:49I sighed
00:48:51frantically,
00:48:52explaining that
00:48:53Lucas hit me
00:48:54with the ball
00:48:55and shoved
00:48:55me.
00:49:06But he
00:49:07doesn't even
00:49:08look at
00:49:08me.
00:49:09All he
00:49:09hears is
00:49:10Lucas'
00:49:11sobbing.
00:49:12Lucas?
00:49:13Is that
00:49:14true?
00:49:18He's
00:49:18afraid of
00:49:19his mother
00:49:19so he
00:49:20just cries
00:49:21and buries
00:49:22his face
00:49:22in Adrian's
00:49:23chest.
00:49:27Jessica,
00:49:28I know
00:49:28you don't
00:49:28like Lucas.
00:49:30But he's
00:49:31just a
00:49:31five-year-old
00:49:32child.
00:49:33His father
00:49:34is gone.
00:49:35Why hold
00:49:36a grudge
00:49:36against him?
00:49:45He
00:49:45looks up
00:49:45at me,
00:49:46his eyes
00:49:46filled with
00:49:47disgust.
00:49:48I shudder,
00:49:49as if ice
00:49:49water has
00:49:50been poured
00:49:50over my
00:49:51head.
00:49:51In that
00:49:51moment,
00:49:52I feel
00:49:52that explaining
00:49:53is pointless.
00:49:54He won't
00:49:54believe me.
00:49:55He only
00:49:55believes
00:49:55Eleanor.
00:49:56Do you
00:49:57really need
00:49:57to hold
00:49:57a grudge
00:49:58against
00:49:58a child?
00:50:01I'm truly
00:50:02disappointed
00:50:03in you.
00:50:07He calls
00:50:08for the
00:50:08driver and
00:50:09gets into
00:50:09the car
00:50:09with Lucas
00:50:10and Eleanor.
00:50:14The car
00:50:14drives away,
00:50:15leaving me
00:50:16behind.
00:50:17My heart
00:50:18shatters.
00:50:23suddenly,
00:50:24a sharp,
00:50:25tearing pain
00:50:26sears
00:50:26through my
00:50:27abdomen.
00:50:27A warm
00:50:28trickle
00:50:28runs down
00:50:29my leg.
00:50:30It's blood.
00:50:38A passerby
00:50:39takes me
00:50:40to the
00:50:40hospital.
00:50:41When I
00:50:42wake up,
00:50:43Lamont
00:50:43is by
00:50:44my
00:50:44bedside.
00:50:49What
00:50:49happened
00:50:50to me?
00:50:58You're
00:50:58pregnant.
00:51:01Six weeks.
00:51:05There were
00:51:06signs of a
00:51:06threatened
00:51:06miscarriage,
00:51:07but the
00:51:07baby is
00:51:08safe.
00:51:10I touch
00:51:11my stomach
00:51:11in shock.
00:51:13I had
00:51:14no idea
00:51:14this baby
00:51:15existed.
00:51:23Should I
00:51:24tell him?
00:51:30I shake
00:51:31my head
00:51:31and sign,
00:51:34please keep
00:51:35it a secret.
00:51:38I remember
00:51:38him saying,
00:51:39I don't
00:51:40want
00:51:40children.
00:51:41If he
00:51:42finds out,
00:51:43he'll
00:51:43force me
00:51:43to abort.
00:51:55Suddenly,
00:51:56my phone
00:51:57rings.
00:51:57I pick
00:51:58it up
00:51:58nervously.
00:52:00It's a
00:52:01message from
00:52:01my father.
00:52:02He scolds
00:52:03me for being
00:52:03ungrateful.
00:52:04What's wrong
00:52:04with Adrian
00:52:05taking care
00:52:05of your
00:52:06sister and
00:52:06Lucas?
00:52:07If you
00:52:07keep targeting
00:52:07them,
00:52:08don't
00:52:09blame me
00:52:09for
00:52:09disowning
00:52:10you.
00:52:13I don't
00:52:14want to
00:52:14reply to
00:52:14any of
00:52:15it.
00:52:15I turn
00:52:16off my
00:52:16phone.
00:52:17I know
00:52:17my father
00:52:18doesn't
00:52:18love me.
00:52:19He
00:52:19hasn't
00:52:20since my
00:52:20mother died
00:52:20when I
00:52:21was seven.
00:52:24I decide
00:52:25to hide
00:52:25the pregnancy
00:52:26and go to
00:52:27the hospital
00:52:28every day
00:52:28for prenatal
00:52:29injections.
00:52:35I don't
00:52:36want anyone
00:52:36to know.
00:52:37Not even
00:52:38Adrian.
00:52:39Meanwhile,
00:52:41Adrian
00:52:42searches for
00:52:43me all
00:52:43night.
00:52:44I'm
00:52:45nowhere to
00:52:45be found
00:52:46and my
00:52:47phone is
00:52:48off.
00:52:53He sends
00:52:54the driver
00:52:54to look
00:52:55for me.
00:52:58I return
00:52:59home after
00:53:00my prenatal
00:53:01injection and
00:53:01find Adrian
00:53:02already there.
00:53:09He
00:53:10hasn't
00:53:10turned on
00:53:10the lights.
00:53:12In the
00:53:12darkness,
00:53:13he grabs
00:53:13me,
00:53:14shoves me
00:53:15against the
00:53:16wall,
00:53:16and presses
00:53:18his body
00:53:18against mine.
00:53:19Where did
00:53:20you go?
00:53:23To the
00:53:23pet shop.
00:53:29You're
00:53:29lying.
00:53:30I checked.
00:53:32You
00:53:32didn't go to
00:53:33the pet shop
00:53:33today.
00:53:38Are you
00:53:39cheating on
00:53:40me?
00:53:41Did you
00:53:42ask for a
00:53:42divorce because
00:53:43of Lamont?
00:53:44I feel
00:53:44nauseous,
00:53:46panicked,
00:53:46and want to
00:53:47deny it.
00:53:49But the
00:53:49lights are
00:53:50off.
00:53:51He can't
00:53:52see my
00:53:52hands.
00:53:58He's a
00:53:58doctor,
00:53:59right?
00:54:00You went
00:54:01to see him.
00:54:02That's why
00:54:02you smell
00:54:03like
00:54:03disinfectant.
00:54:06A smell
00:54:07so disgusting,
00:54:07it makes me
00:54:09want to
00:54:09strangle you.
00:54:16Five fingers
00:54:17tighten around
00:54:17my neck.
00:54:18Just as
00:54:19terror sets in,
00:54:20he pulls me
00:54:20towards him
00:54:21by the neck
00:54:21and presses
00:54:22and presses a
00:54:22cold kiss
00:54:23to my
00:54:23lips.
00:54:24It's a
00:54:25punishing
00:54:25kiss.
00:54:27He forces
00:54:28my lips
00:54:28apart without
00:54:28mercy,
00:54:29his rough
00:54:30tongue
00:54:30invading.
00:54:32I can't
00:54:32bear it.
00:54:34I push
00:54:35against him
00:54:35with all
00:54:36my strength.
00:54:37He grabs
00:54:38my hands
00:54:39and throws
00:54:39them aside,
00:54:40then deepens
00:54:41the kiss.
00:54:47he's
00:54:47overcome
00:54:48with
00:54:48desire,
00:54:49breathing
00:54:49heavily.
00:54:50He lifts
00:54:51me and
00:54:51carries me
00:54:52to the
00:54:52living room.
00:54:58He sets
00:54:59me down
00:54:59on the
00:55:00sofa and
00:55:00tears
00:55:00open my
00:55:01blouse
00:55:01with his
00:55:02broad
00:55:02hand.
00:55:08I'm
00:55:08terrified
00:55:09of
00:55:09hurting
00:55:09the
00:55:10baby.
00:55:10I
00:55:11tremble
00:55:12uncontrollably.
00:55:15His
00:55:16hand
00:55:16slides
00:55:16lower,
00:55:17rubbing
00:55:17my most
00:55:18vulnerable
00:55:18place
00:55:19through
00:55:19the
00:55:19thin
00:55:19fabric.
00:55:20His
00:55:21low
00:55:21voice
00:55:21is a
00:55:21mixture
00:55:22of
00:55:22desire
00:55:22and
00:55:22self-destruction.
00:55:24Has
00:55:24he
00:55:24touched
00:55:24you
00:55:25here?
00:55:26I
00:55:26understand
00:55:27what
00:55:27he
00:55:27means.
00:55:28I
00:55:28shake
00:55:28my
00:55:29head
00:55:29frantically.
00:55:30He
00:55:30straightens
00:55:31up
00:55:31and
00:55:31grips
00:55:32my
00:55:32chin.
00:55:32forcing
00:55:33me
00:55:33to
00:55:34open
00:55:34my
00:55:34eyes.
00:55:38Why
00:55:39did
00:55:39you
00:55:39meet
00:55:39with
00:55:39Lamont
00:55:40today?
00:55:41I
00:55:41steady
00:55:42myself
00:55:42and
00:55:43sign
00:55:43deliberately.
00:55:46You

00:55:47bringing
00:55:47up
00:55:47Lamont?
00:55:49Is
00:55:49it
00:55:49because
00:55:50you're
00:55:50jealous?
00:55:53You're
00:55:54just a
00:55:54mute
00:55:54who
00:55:54can't
00:55:54speak.
00:55:56Isn't
00:55:57it
00:55:57ridiculous
00:55:57for you
00:55:57to say
00:55:58I'm
00:55:58jealous
00:55:58of
00:55:59you?
00:55:59It
00:56:00feels
00:56:00as
00:56:00if

00:56:00bloody
00:56:01wound
00:56:01has

00:56:02open
