00:30The cliff jump? The thugs who beat you?
00:32I arranged all of it.
00:34Three years ago, you cut off Noah's car just to humiliate him at that auction.
00:38You did it because you could, so we made you feel what it's like to lose everything.
00:43That was your punishment.
00:45Grandpa scoffed.
00:46If you finally learned your lesson, go apologize to Noah.
00:51Promise you'll never go after him again.
00:54Do that, and you'll still be our beloved family member.
00:57Dad didn't speak. He just smiled peacefully.
01:00I looked down, at the empty vial by his feet.
01:04Right before they broke in, Dad had just swallowed the poison.
01:08They called it a punishment, but they had no idea Dad was actually dying.
01:14Dad collapsed onto the bed.
01:16He was too pale to even sit up.
01:18He tried to speak, but blood came out instead.
01:22Grandpa stared at him coldly, his face twisting with disgust.
01:26Playing the victimum again, Liam?
01:28You knew we were coming, so you staged this little performance?
01:32Fake blood? You seriously think we'd pity you?
01:35Panic gripped my chest.
01:38I wanted to scream that he wasn't faking it.
01:40He drank poison.
01:42He was dying, but they didn't give me the chance.
01:45Mom shoved me aside and marched to the bed.
01:48Her gaze swept over Dad like he was absolute trash.
01:52Liam, these past few years haven't been easy for you, I know.
01:55But it really wasn't that bad.
01:58Those thugs worked for me.
01:59Without my permission, they wouldn't dare touch you.
02:03All the money you earned, I used it to pay them.
02:06We were planning to keep punishing you a few more years, but Noah has a soft heart.
02:11Couldn't stand watching you suffer, so we decided to come bring you home early.
02:15Noah is waiting outside right now.
02:16If you know what's good for you, get up and apologize.
02:19You cut off his cards and humiliated him.
02:21That depression he went through, that was on you.
02:23I shivered, eyes dropping to Dad's hand hidden beneath the covers.
02:27She said those men were actors, that they wouldn't dare hurt him for real.
02:31But I knew better.
02:32Every time they came, they stripped him down, forced him onto the floor, and make him crawl on all fours.
02:38Any resistance meant a worse beating.
02:40They broke his legs more than once, and they took his right hand.
02:46Dad never let me watch.
02:47Every time they came, he forced me to get out.
02:50I could only come back after those monsters left.
02:52Every time, Dad was left in a living hell.
02:55I knew exactly how much he suffered, so when he told me he couldn't hold on anymore, I didn't cry.
03:01I just nodded.
03:02He actually smiled when he drank that poison.
03:05I recognized the label, ricin.
03:07Dad told me it was a lethal toxin.
03:09Drink it, and you were dead.
03:11There was no cure.
03:12You just lay there in agony, waiting to die.
03:15I fought back my tears.
03:17I wanted to ask Mom why she came back so late.
03:20I wanted to tell her Dad suffered more than she could imagine.
03:23He was in so much pain.
03:25Death was his only escape.
03:26I bit my lip and stayed silent.
03:28Soon, Dad would finally be free.
03:30Dad struggled to sit up.
03:33But he was far too weak.
03:34Grandoff finally snapped.
03:36How long are you going to keep up this act, Liam?
03:39Get on your feet!
03:40Go apologize to Noah!
03:42Right now!
03:43He dragged Dad toward the door.
03:44Then his boot hit the visel.
03:46My breath hitted.
03:48A tiny spark of hope lit up in my chest.
03:50Please, pick it up.
03:52Just look at the label.
03:53Then you'll know Dad is dying.
03:57Before his fingers touched the vial, the door swung open.
04:00A sharply dressed man dropped to his knees in front of Dad.
04:04The moment I saw his face, my body started to shake.
04:07Noah.
04:08Dad's best friend.
04:09The man Dad once almost died saving.
04:12Years ago, Noah was cornered by street thugs.
04:15Dad shielded him with his own body.
04:18He took five stab wounds for him.
04:22He spent half a month fighting for his life in the ICU.
04:25The day Dad was discharged, Noah knelt before him.
04:30Liam, you saved my life.
04:32You're my brother now.
04:34Forever.
04:35Noah had nowhere to go, so Dad brought him home and treated him like a real brother.
04:40But Noah repaid him by stealing everything.
04:44He casually hinted to Mom that Dad was seeing other women.
04:49He planted doubt with a smile.
04:51He showed Grandpa bruises he gave himself.
04:53Then he claimed Dad beat him.
04:56He said Dad was repaying the favor of saving his life.
04:59He even framed Dad for embezzling family funds.
05:03He claimed Dad got drunk.
05:05And called Grandpa a useless old parasite.
05:09He said Dad hoarded the family money instead of spending it on Noah.
05:13The dirty lies kept piling up.
05:16Eventually, the whole family looked at Dad with hatred.
05:20Dad tried explaining at first.
05:23But every time, Noah dropped to his knees first.
05:26He apologized for accidentally spilling the truth.
05:30He cried, knelt, and slapped his own face.
05:33Begging for Dad's forgiveness while turning everyone against him.
05:39Dad was never good at defending himself.
05:42The more he explained, the guiltier he sounded.
05:44No one believed him.
05:46They shielded Noah.
05:47They called Dad abusive.
05:49Controlling.
05:50Jealous.
05:51Eventually, Dad stopped fighting back.
05:54He became quieter.
05:56Smaller.
05:58Trying to please everyone.
06:00No one knew he was severely sick.
06:04The doctor said he had major depression.
06:07He swallowed handfuls of pills.
06:09But nothing worked.
06:11More than once, I found him hiding.
06:14Breaking down in tears.
06:16I wanted to beg Mom and Grandpa to help him.
06:19They're too busy, Leo.
06:21Don't bother them.
06:23He didn't want to be a burden.
06:25Dad cared about everyone except himself.
06:28And the people he cherished destroyed him with a lie.
06:32Dad stared numbly at Noah.
06:33Before Dad could speak, Noah grabbed his hand.
06:37Liam!
06:37I know you hate me.
06:39I know you blame me for hiding the truth.
06:42I'm so sorry you suffered these past three years.
06:45Hit me if it makes you feel better.
06:48Just please, don't be mad at the family.
06:50But I saw exactly what he was doing.
06:54His fingernails dug into Dad's hand.
06:57While pretending to apologize, Dad flinched in pain.
07:01He instinctively pushed him away.
07:03That shove barely had any force.
07:10And just like that, Noah made Dad look guilty again.
07:16Grandpa saw red.
07:17Are you out of your mind, Liam?
07:20Noah lowered himself to apologize to you.
07:23Not only are you ungrateful, you actually dare to attack him?
07:27Clearly, these three years taught you nothing.
07:30So fine.
07:31Let's find somewhere else to adjust your attitude.
07:34Guards, take him back to the estate.
07:36Lock him in the freezer until he's ready to beg for mercy.
07:39The guards rushed in immediately.
07:42They slammed Dad onto the floor.
07:44They pushed so hard his collar tore open.
07:47Pinned to the ground.
07:49Covered in dirt and blood, Dad suddenly laughed.
07:52You.
07:53You're even stupor than I thought.
07:55You faked your deaths for a man who nearly destroyed this family.
07:59And you want me to apologize to him in your dreams.
08:03I did make one mistake, though.
08:06The biggest mistake of my life was bringing that viper into our home.
08:10And risking my life to save this ungrateful bastard?
08:14Do you even know why I cut off Noah's?
08:16It was because...
08:18Before he could finish, the slap landed.
08:21His brow split.
08:23Blood ran from his nose and mouth.
08:26The truth was right there.
08:28And they beat it back down.
08:31Dad trembled in agony.
08:33But Grandpa showed no mercy.
08:35Enough!
08:36We've spoiled you way too long.
08:38You make mistakes without remorse?
08:40And now you're trying to frame Noah?
08:42I don't have a shameless son like you.
08:45From this moment on, you are no longer a Sinclair.
08:48Noah is my only son now.
08:49Dad collapsed against the floor.
08:51A weak, mocking smile crept onto his lips.
08:55No.
08:56You people never deserve to be my family.
08:58Grandpa raised his hand again.
08:59I couldn't take it anymore.
09:01I threw myself over Dad.
09:04The pain almost blacked me out.
09:06But I didn't cry.
09:07Stop hurting my dad!
09:08He drank poison!
09:09He's dying!
09:11Everyone froze.
09:12Leo!
09:13What did you just say?
09:14Liam?
09:15Took poison?
09:16I fought back tears and crawled for the vial.
09:19Before you came in, Dad just drank ricin.
09:22He's really dying.
09:25Before Mom could read it, Noah snatched it away.
09:29Then he covered his mouth and scoffed.
09:32Ricin?
09:33You can't even read the label.
09:35Liam, if you want to get back at us, fine.
09:38But using fake poison?
09:40That's pathetic.
09:41And dragging Leo into your lies?
09:43He's only eight years old.
09:44Keep this up and you'll ruin his life.
09:46I opened my mouth to defend him.
09:47But Noah held the vial up for everyone to see.
09:50One look and my stomach dropped.
09:52The trick was obvious.
09:53Even I could see it.
09:55But somehow, Mom believed him immediately.
09:57Grandpa believed him too.
09:59Mom's face turned cold and disgusted.
10:01Grandpa ripped the vial from Noah.
10:03Glass shattered against Dad's cheek.
10:05What the hell is wrong with you?
10:06Using fake poison to scare us?
10:09Did you really think playing dead would earn sympathy?
10:11No one showed him a single ounce of pity.
10:13Mom crossed her arms and laughed coldly.
10:16Have you completely lost it, Liam?
10:18Faking your own death for a pity party?
10:20It's genuinely sickening.
10:21Nobody believed him.
10:23But I knew Dad was running out of time.
10:26Dad bought that poison three years ago.
10:29Back when everyone said it was only a matter of time.
10:32Before he killed himself too.
10:34That day, he finally couldn't take it anymore.
10:38He unscrewed the cap.
10:40Ready to end it all.
10:41But before he could drink it, the debtichurters kicked the door in.
10:45They tore the basement apart.
10:47They dragged Dad by his hair and beat him mercilessly.
10:51I ran at them crying.
10:54Then someone kicked me hard in the chest.
10:56One of them picked up the open vial.
10:59You owe millions.
11:00What gives you the right to die?
11:03If you die, your kid pays the debt.
11:06Wonder how many beatings a little boy can survive.
11:08For the first time, panic flashed across Dad's face.
11:11He threw himself over me, shielding me in his arms.
11:14He never cried when they mocked him.
11:16But that day, holding me tight, he broke down.
11:19He dropped to his knees and begged.
11:21I won't die.
11:22I'll pay.
11:22Just please, don't touch my son.
11:24Dad survived pure hell just for me.
11:27I didn't understand why he was being punished.
11:29But I knew I was about to lose him forever.
11:32He was too weak to even stand.
11:34My whole body shook from fear.
11:36I hugged her legs and sobbed.
11:38Until my voice went horny.
11:40And I could barely breathe.
11:42Tears blurred my vision.
11:45I clutched her dress and begged.
11:47I'm not lying.
11:49Dad is really dying.
11:51Please, please save him.
11:56My desperate cries didn't move them at all.
11:59Liam, look at what you've done to him.
12:02Lying.
12:04Manipulating people.
12:05Playing the victim.
12:07He learned every bit of it from you.
12:10Pale and panicking, I tried to explain.
12:12No!
12:13Dad never taught me to lie.
12:14I'm telling the truth.
12:15But they only looked at me with more disgust.
12:17Using the last of his strength, he grabbed my wrist.
12:20Leo.
12:22Don't beg them anymore.
12:24Dad's okay.
12:25The second he said it, he collapsed.
12:28The poison was taking over.
12:30He reeled in excruciating agony.
12:33A dark pool spread across the floor.
12:37For the first time, panic crossed Mom's eyes.
12:40Mom fell beside him.
12:41Her hands shook as she tried to hold him up.
12:45Call an ambulance!
12:46Hurry!
12:47Grandpa pulled out his phone with trembling fingers.
12:50He dialed 911.
12:56The moment Grandpa hung up,
12:58Noah staggered toward Dad.
13:01Nobody noticed.
13:03He dropped a burst-open fake blood pack by Dadad's feet.
13:08Then he covered his mouth in horror.
13:10Oh my god!
13:11Liam!
13:12I know you hate me, but you can't fake it with a blood pack!
13:17You know I have a heart condition.
13:19You know blood triggers my panic attacks.
13:22I don't care about myself, but your family loves you.
13:25You're making them sick with worry.
13:27Sure enough, the moment those words left his mouth, Mom let go of Dad instantly.
13:32You knew we'd be worried, Liam!
13:35Yet you pull a cheap stunt like this just for attention?
13:39You make me sick!
13:42Mom wrapped an arm around Noah protectively, her voice softening.
13:46Don't look at him, Noah.
13:48It's too sickening.
13:50Dad lay there, covered in blood.
13:53Nobody cared.
13:55They only cared about comforting Noah.
13:57When the ambulance arrived, Mom and Grandpa frantically ushered Noah forward.
14:03Dad was blocking the path near the doorway.
14:06Without hesitation, they kicked him aside.
14:09He lay paralyzed on the blood-stained floor, his eyes completely dead inside.
14:14I bawled hysterically.
14:15Trying to grab Mom's leg again.
14:18But Dad grabbed my hand.
14:21His fingers dug into my palm.
14:23He couldn't speak anymore.
14:26Only shook his head at me gently.
14:28I understood immediately.
14:31Even at the very end, he didn't want anything to do with them anymore.
14:37After everyone finally left, I dragged Dad back onto the bed.
14:42He must have been in unbearable pain.
14:45Every inch of his body was trembling.
14:48But he didn't cry.
14:50And neither did I.
14:51I knew death was his only release.
14:54I used to hate Mom and Grandpa for dying too early.
14:57For leaving Dad to suffer alone.
14:59But now, I didn't blame them at all.
15:02Because I knew, very soon, they wouldn't even have the chance to beg him to stay.
15:06Exhausted, Dad closed his eyes and drifted into a heavy sleep.
15:11I curled up beside him quietly, not making a sound.
15:15But after midnight, Dad was violently yanked out of bed and hurled onto the floor.
15:21He struggled weakly to move.
15:24But Mom slammed her heel right onto his chest.
15:27Fear burned in her eyes.
15:29How can you still sleep, Liam?
15:32Because of your little stunt, Noah went into cardiac arrest.
15:36The doctor said he needs a heart transplant immediately.
15:39Grandpa snorted impatiently.
15:41He grabbed Dad by the collar and dragged him toward the door.
15:45Stop playing dead!
15:47If you hadn't terrified Noah on purpose, his heart wouldn't have failed!
15:51You owe him this!
15:53So now you're going to pay him back.
15:55We're taking you to the family's private hospital.
15:59You're giving Noah your heart.
16:02Dad couldn't fight back.
16:03He couldn't even make a sound.
16:05He just lay there, staring dead at Mom.
16:08Mom leaned down and patted his bloody face.
16:11You made mistakes.
16:12Punishment is necessary.
16:13But don't worry.
16:14I won't let anything happen to you.
16:16I already arranged the best artificial heart.
16:19Once the surgery's over, I'll bring you home.
16:23You'll still be my husband.
16:32It hurt so bad.
16:34All I could do was watch them take Dad away.
16:36Blood streamed from the cut near my eye, blurring my vision.
16:40I didn't even stop to put shoes on.
16:42I ran barefoot into the night.
16:45By the time I finally reached the hospital,
16:48it was too late.
16:50The surgery was over.
16:51Everyone was crowding around Noah.
16:53Honestly, he looked perfectly fine.
16:56Healthy color.
16:57Steady breathing.
16:59He didn't look like someone who just had a heart transplant at all.
17:02Yet, Mom and Grandpa hovered around him anxiously.
17:06No one noticed Dad lying on the operating table in the corner.
17:09His chest was still split open.
17:12Grandpa nodded in satisfaction and waved a surgeon over.
17:16Well, if Noah's safe now,
17:18then Liam's punishment can finally end.
17:22Prepare the artificial heart.
17:24Money isn't an issue.
17:25Use the best one available.
17:27The surgeon stepped up to Grandpa, trembling from head to toe.
17:31Mr. Sinclair, your son, he ingested ricin.
17:37When he arrived, his organs had already failed.
17:40He stopped breathing before the operation was even completed.
17:43He died on the table!
17:46Dead silence swallowed the room.
17:48Everyone stood there, paralyzed.
17:51Mom swayed on her feet, nearly collapsing to the floor.
17:56Grandpa's mouth hung open,
17:57His face twisting in a horrifying mix of shock and despair.
18:01Only I stood there, smiling peacefully.
18:05Dad lay motionless beneath the surgical lights.
18:08He would have looked asleep.
18:09If not for the massive hole in his chest,
18:12he would have looked asleep.
18:13I stumbled over to him,
18:15then reached up clumsily,
18:17and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
18:20Dad, you can sleep now.
18:23I'll be good.
18:26I'll survive.
18:27I wasn't sad.
18:29Dad always said this world was too painful,
18:31and that he was too tired.
18:32Maybe this was better.
18:33Now that he was dead,
18:35he didn't have to endure their torture anymore.
18:37Suddenly, a gut-wrenching scream tore through the room behind me.
18:40Mom threw herself forward.
18:42She grabbed Dad's lifeless body,
18:44shaking uncontrollably.
18:46Just hours ago,
18:47she kept saying Dad deserved to be punished.
18:50Now, she was sobbing like a broken child.
18:53How could you?
18:55How dare you leave me?
18:58Don't you die!
18:59You're not allowed to die!
19:01Please wake up and look at me.
19:04I won't yell at you anymore.
19:06I won't punish you anymore.
19:08Please, just open your eyes.
19:12I almost laughed.
19:14Mom was so stupid.
19:16Dad's chest was ripped open.
19:18His heart was gone.
19:19How could he possibly wake up?
19:22Even without the surgery,
19:24he never would have survived.
19:25Ryken was a lethal poison.
19:27One sip would shut down all his organs,
19:30and Dad drank the entire bottle.
19:32He chose an agonizing death,
19:35suffocating in pain.
19:38over living another second with them.
19:40Liam,
19:41how could you die?
19:43You loved arguing with me, didn't you?
19:46So get up!
19:47Yell at me again!
19:48I'm sorry.
19:50I didn't know.
19:51I didn't know this would happen.
19:54Grandpa's face was covered in tears,
19:56but I didn't pity him at all.
19:57It was almost funny.
19:58While Dad was literally bleeding out in front of them,
20:01their only thought was how to torture him next.
20:03I looked at Dad's blood-stained face
20:05and let out a cold little smile.
20:07Dad was gone,
20:08but I was still here.
20:09I'd collect myself,
20:11piece by piece.
20:12I'd make everyone who destroyed him
20:14pay in blood.
20:15Their sobs ripped through the room.
20:17I watched blankly,
20:18as they cling to Dad's broken body,
20:20shaking him desperately.
20:21How did this happen, Liam?
20:22Please,
20:24just look at us one more time.
20:27They killed him,
20:28yet somehow they cried like victims.
20:31I let out a mocking cloth,
20:33turned around,
20:34and walked right up to Noah.
20:36He looked down at me
20:37with that same smug, mocking look.
20:40You little bastard.
20:42Your father lost,
20:44and you'll lose too.
20:46I'll kick you out of this family next.
20:49Everything here belongs to me.
20:51He looked so smug.
20:53He wasn't even pretending anymore.
20:55I smiled back softly.
20:57Then right under his malicious gaze,
20:59I reached out
21:00and ripped the bandages off his chest.
21:02He instinctively reached out to stop me,
21:04but before his fingers could even touch me,
21:06I gasped loudly,
21:08covering my mouth dramatically.
21:09Uncle Noah!
21:11You just had a heart transplant!
21:13But why don't you have a scar?
21:15He scrambled to cover his chest,
21:17but Grandpa rushed over
21:19and pinned his wrists down.
21:20His chest was completely exposed,
21:22not a single mark.
21:24Flawless skin,
21:25not even a scratch.
21:26Grandpa stared at him in horror.
21:28Mom stumbled over,
21:29staring at Noah's chest in disbelief.
21:32Grandpa's lips trembled as he roared.
21:34You said your heart was failing!
21:36You said you needed an emergency transplant!
21:39Why?
21:39Why is there no scar?!
21:42Mom grabbed Noah by the collar.
21:45Murderless rage filled her eyes.
21:46Did you lie to us?
21:49Was this your plan from the beginning?
21:51Did you deliberately get Liam killed?!
21:54Noah shook controllably from sheer terror,
21:56but even now, he kept lying.
21:58No!
21:59I never wanted Liam dead!
22:02The doctors already said his organs failed from the poison.
22:05He couldn't survive the transplant anyway.
22:07I was afraid you'd misunderstand me,
22:09so I pretended the surgery happened.
22:12and I swear I didn't kill him on purpose.
22:14Leo,
22:15I know you hate me just like your father did,
22:18but you can't just frame me like this.
22:20Your father is dead,
22:22but you still have me,
22:24and I'll take his place.
22:25Love you just as much.
22:26He really was good at this,
22:27but he picked the wrong kid to mess with.
22:29I wasn't as innocent and naive as my dad.
22:32These past three years taught me exactly
22:33how cold and ugly people can be.
22:35Facing down ruthless debt crackers,
22:37the greatest trick I learned was how to play the victim.
22:39My eyes reddened instantly,
22:41then I burst into tears.
22:42I cried even harder,
22:44and looked more pitiful than he did.
22:47Pretending to be terrified,
22:48I threw myself to Grandpa's arms.
22:51Uncle Noah's scaring me!
22:53I wasn't trying to frame him.
22:55I just didn't understand why there wasn't a scar.
22:58On the way here,
23:00I heard the doctors talking.
23:02They said Uncle Noah wasn't even sick,
23:04that he forced them to operate on Dad.
23:08I didn't want to believe it,
23:10so I just wanted to check his chest.
23:14I'm sorry.
23:15I'll apologize to Uncle Noah right now!
23:17I sobbed, pushing Grandpa away
23:19as if I was going to drop to my knees.
23:21The next second,
23:22a strong hand held me up.
23:24Grandpa gently pulled me back,
23:25wrapping his arms protectively around me.
23:28When he looked at Noah again,
23:29his eyes had turned ice cold.
23:31That's enough.
23:32Leo is a child.
23:34He wouldn't make something like that up.
23:36And he just lost his father.
23:38Even if he said something wrong,
23:39you should be more understanding.
23:41I smiled faintly to myself.
23:43Now he understood.
23:45Knives only hurt when they stab your own skin.
23:48Everything Noah did to Dad,
23:50I'd return to him slowly.
23:52I'd make him suffer exactly the same way.
23:54Noah opened his mouth again,
23:56still trying to defend himself.
23:57But Mom and Grandpa were already out of patience.
24:00The suspicion I planted had rooted itself deep inside them.
24:04Mom stared at Noah sharply.
24:06Her voice turned colder than before.
24:08Noah,
24:10you didn't actually fake a heart attack, did you?
24:13If you don't have a heart condition,
24:15then why did you let us force Liam into a transplant?
24:19Did you want him gone?
24:21Did you deliberately set this up just to kill him?
24:24Noah shook his head frantically,
24:26trying to deny it.
24:27But I tugged at his sleeve,
24:29looking up at him with wide, innocent eyes.
24:31I believe you, Uncle Noah.
24:33Maybe it's just the doctors who misunderstood you.
24:36He didn't even get a chance to breathe.
24:38If you don't believe him, just run the test again!
24:40All the blood drained from Noah's face.
24:42Mom nodded, snapping out of her daze.
24:45If you're innocent, there's nothing to fear.
24:47Get him tested again.
24:49Full cardiac evaluation.
24:52Now!
24:54I stood still in the corner,
24:56watching as the nurses dragged a panicking Noah away.
24:59Soon, Noah,
25:01you'd know exactly what it felt like when no one believed you.
25:04And I'd be the reason.
25:06The results came back faster than expected.
25:09Mom and Grandpa only glanced at the report,
25:11and their eyes went bloodshot with rage.
25:13Noah,
25:14this is what you call a failing heart?
25:16Your heart is perfectly healthy.
25:19Why did you lie to us?
25:21Because of you.
25:22We forced Liam into that surgery.
25:24You killed him!
25:27You took everything from him.
25:29He was already being punished.
25:31Why did you still want him dead?
25:34Noah curled up on the hospital bed,
25:37trembling violently in fear.
25:38You have to believe me.
25:40I swear I didn't mean for this to happen.
25:43It was a misdiagnosis.
25:44I didn't know.
25:47I would never kill Liam.
25:49Mom and Grandpa looked at him with utter disappointment,
25:51but they still weren't ruthless enough to truly punish him.
25:54I just watched the pathetic scene unfold,
25:56feeling a sickening ache for Dad.
25:58They discarded Dad without hesitation,
26:00but they couldn't even punish a lying outsider.
26:03It didn't matter.
26:04I would push them all the way down,
26:06step by step.
26:08I would make them all feel a pain worse than death.
26:11Noah and I were brought back home.
26:13I couldn't believe they were still living in the exact same estate.
26:17Three years ago, Dad and I were thrown out on the streets.
26:20He nearly bled himself dry, just trying to survive.
26:23He didn't even have the courage to step foot near this estate.
26:27But the whole time,
26:28the family who were supposed to be dead
26:30had been living like kings.
26:32Because of Dad's death,
26:34Mom and Grandpa looked at me with guilt and pity.
26:36They tried to make up for it,
26:38giving me whatever I wanted.
26:39I didn't refuse anything.
26:42I accepted it all.
26:43Dad traded his life for this chance.
26:46I would not waste it.
26:48Noah dialed up his little act.
26:50In front of Mom and Grandpa,
26:52he would hug me and shed silent tears,
26:55playing the heartbroken uncle.
26:57I acted terrified.
27:00But the second he walked away,
27:02I pulled the voice recorder from under the couch cushion
27:05and smiled.
27:07He had no idea.
27:10Every word he said,
27:12every move he made,
27:14would be the nails in his coffin.
27:16I took the recorder into Mom's study
27:18and accidentally pressed play.
27:22Noah was sweet-talking to Mom.
27:24The moment he heard his own voice,
27:27all the blood drained from his face.
27:29He panicked,
27:31screaming that the audio was faked
27:32and I was framing him.
27:33But no one believed him.
27:35Mom just stared at him with disgust.
27:37In front of Grandpa,
27:38I'd purposely pull down my collar,
27:41exposing dark,
27:42horrifying choke marks on my neck.
27:44When he asked what happened,
27:46I'd just look at Noah
27:47and tremble in fear.
27:50Noah couldn't defend himself at all.
27:52He never dreamed his own dirty tricks
27:54would be used against him.
27:55The cracks were showing.
27:57Day by day,
27:58their pity turned into disgust.
28:00just like how they used to look at Dad.
28:02But this was still not enough.
28:05These tricks wouldn't completely destroy Noah.
28:08But that was fine.
28:09I was going to shove him over the edge
28:12once and for all.
28:14After Dad's funeral,
28:17I sneak back into the basement.
28:21Relying on my memory,
28:28I dug out a hidden folder
28:30from Dad's closet.
28:37Gripping the thin papers,
28:39I smiled until tears fell.
28:41This was Dad's final weapon.
28:45The exact weapon I needed
28:48to drag Noah
28:49and straight to hell.
28:50and it was like,
28:51I talked about at his signature.
28:51I was going to go in the middle.
28:51it was going to be
28:51Ευχαριστώ.
