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.
00:00:10Tonight, 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.
00:00:30I 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.
00:00:42After 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, he'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.
00:01:05That message was sent by her.
00:01:07The 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?
00:01:30Leave.
00:01:31He doesn't look at me, his voice cold and sharp.
00:01:34I hold back my tears and nod.
00:01:38As 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.
00:01:48His 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.
00:02:00At 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?
00:02:55Talk 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.
00:03:06You 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.
00:03:39Roughness 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.
00:04:16Behind 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.
00:05:04His 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.
00:05:18Jessica and I are leaving.
00:05:20Adrian!
00:05:21She slams her fist on the chair in anger.
00:05:29He 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,
00:06:04I follow him inside.
00:06:11At the elevator,
00:06:12Eleanor is already waiting there.
00:06:14When 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.
00:06:48My 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.
00:06:57After the elevator doors close,
00:06:59Eleanor 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
00:07:58for a stomach pump.
00:08:04Lexi and I go out on the call together.
00:08:06When we reach the club entrance,
00:08:08I let her go inside first
00:08:10while I wait outside.
00:08:12Suddenly,
00:08:12a sharp voice comes from behind me.
00:08:15Jessica?
00:08:15What are you doing here?
00:08:17She looks me up and down,
00:08:18taking 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.
00:08:38Work?
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 and overhears this.
00:09:00She rushes over to me and stands up for me.
00:09:03What are you saying?
00:09:04Watch your mouth!
00:09:07Who do you think you are?
00:09:09How dare you talk to me like that?
00:09:13I'm her friend.
00:09:14You bully her, I'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 and gives me a cold look.
00:09:51Jessica, I'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, watching 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?
00:10:49Who gave you the nerve?
00:10:51I wasn't.
00:10:52I was just passing by with a friend.
00:10:58That shameless friend of yours stopped seeing her.
00:11:02Lexi is not shameless!
00:11:09If I say she is, then she is.
00:11:11Stop seeing her.
00:11:12I won't.
00:11:13Jessica, do I need to remind you?
00:11:16You're my wife, so you have to obey me.
00:11:18For three years, he never spoke a word for me.
00:11:20He indulged Eleanor in humiliating me.
00:11:22When his mother called me a mute, he stayed silent.
00:11:25In his eyes, I was never his wife, just an obedient tool.
00:11:33Adrian, let'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, he doesn't go far.
00:12:17He leans against the wall and lights a cigarette.
00:12:22He doesn't know why he's so angry today.
00:12:24All he knows is that the 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, panic sets in.
00:12:37She seems serious.
00:12:41He looks back at the closed door.
00:12:46The next morning, Adrian prepares a table full of dishes.
00:12:58I try to bring up last night, but he cuts me off.
00:13:01Don't.
00:13:04I won't stop you from seeing Lexi anymore.
00:13:07Don't be angry.
00:13:09I'm serious.
00:13:11I know that back then,
00:13:12because 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,
00:13:39he 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.
00:13:55Wait for me after work.
00:13:57He 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
00:14:16was 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
00:14:28and 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
00:14:38on the stray dog.
00:14:43With just a few gentle strokes,
00:14:45it 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
00:14:58from that shop.
00:14:59She's famous around here.
00:15:01Jessica!
00:15:01Jessica!
00:15:03I look up
00:15:04and see a very familiar face
00:15:05standing by the stray dog.
00:15:07My 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
00:15:17you were already married
00:15:18and told me not to disturb you.
00:15:19I don't want to talk about my father,
00:15:22so I change the subject
00:15:23and ask what he does now.
00:15:26I'm a doctor.
00:15:29You heal animals,
00:15:30I heal people.
00:15:32That makes us colleagues,
00:15:33doesn't it?
00:15:33He makes me laugh.
00:15:38Let's go for a coffee.
00:15:42As we're talking,
00:15:43a black luxury car
00:15:44pulls up in front of us.
00:15:49Jessica.
00:15:50Adrian gets out
00:15:51and calls my name.
00:15:52I step back in fear.
00:15:54Lamont looks at me
00:15:55with confusion
00:15:56and instinctively
00:15:57pulls me to his side.
00:16:03Who is this?
00:16:06Aren't you going to introduce us?
00:16:08Hello,
00:16:08I'm Lamont Graves.
00:16:10He ignores Lamont
00:16:11and looks only at me.
00:16:14I'm asking you.
00:16:20I endure the pain
00:16:22of his grip on my waist.
00:16:28He's an old neighbor.
00:16:30Then I sign to Lamont,
00:16:32introducing Adrian
00:16:33as my husband.
00:16:34He's just a neighbor.
00:16:35Was there any need
00:16:36to smile at him so happily?
00:16:37I press my lips together
00:16:39and say nothing.
00:16:40Adrian's hand
00:16:41tightens around my waist.
00:16:44Mr. Buckley,
00:16:45you're hurting Jessica.
00:16:48Is that any of your business?
00:16:52Stay away from my wife.
00:17:00Get in the car.
00:17:02Adrian opens the car door
00:17:04and says coldly,
00:17:06Lamont looks at me
00:17:07with worried eyes,
00:17:08but I can only lower my head
00:17:10and get into the car.
00:17:19The atmosphere in the car
00:17:21is so oppressing,
00:17:22it's hard to breathe.
00:17:23He starts the engine
00:17:24without 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
00:17:43with 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.
00:18:00Nothing 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
00:18:32and 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.
00:18:45I 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
00:19:08and stand by the roadside.
00:19:10He steps on the gas
00:19:12and the taillights
00:19:13soon disappear into the night.
00:19:15The autumn wine
00:19:16chills me to the bone.
00:19:18I know that no matter
00:19:19how much time pass,
00:19:21he will always abandon me
00:19:23for Eleanor.
00:19:24I smile bitterly,
00:19:25a tear sliding down
00:19:27from 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
00:19:43hasn't changed.
00:19:44Remember to contact me
00:19:45if you need anything.
00:19:48A wave of warmth
00:19:49fills my heart.
00:19:50Help 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
00:20:11to 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
00:20:31is a photo of me
00:20:32talking with the lawyer.
00:20:34You're following me?
00:20:36Aren't you going to explain?
00:20:37You spent the whole day
00:20:39chatting with them,
00:20:40not working.
00:20:41This is my private matter.
00:20:43It 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
00:20:53to divorce you.
00:20:56Quit.
00:20:57You're not allowed
00:20:58to work at the pet shop anymore.
00:21:03I won't.
00:21:04If you don't quit,
00:21:05I'll shut that shop down.
00:21:10My face pales.
00:21:12I beg him not to drag
00:21:14my colleagues into this.
00:21:16If you don't want
00:21:17the pet shop to close,
00:21:18then come home.
00:21:19Everything can go back
00:21:20to 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
00:21:34and 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
00:22:01the guest room door.
00:22:04I'm about to change clothes
00:22:05and I'm startled.
00:22:09He closes the door
00:22:10behind him
00:22:11and pins me down
00:22:12on the bed.
00:22:18Until the divorce papers
00:22:20are signed,
00:22:20we're still husband and wife.
00:22:22What's wrong with this?
00:22:27He presses his body
00:22:29against mine,
00:22:30his burning kisses
00:22:31falling on me.
00:22:34He kisses me
00:22:35while tearing at my clothes.
00:22:40I push him away
00:22:41in panic.
00:22:43His phone rings again.
00:22:49Your phone.
00:22:51Aren't you going to answer?
00:22:55What if something else
00:22:57happens to her?
00:22:59He glances at the phone
00:23:00and 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,
00:23:16carrying 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,
00:23:40just go.
00:23:42You don't need to tell me.
00:23:50Get some rest.
00:23:55He says it with apology
00:23:57in his voice,
00:23:59then turns and leaves.
00:24:03The guest room door
00:24:05clicks 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.
00:24:27I think
00:24:28it's better that he's gone.
00:24:33From now on,
00:24:34I won't hold on
00:24:35to any illusions about him.
00:24:40Past nine at night,
00:24:42Adrian doesn't call for a driver.
00:24:43He drives alone
00:24:44to Eleanor's house.
00:25:00As 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.
00:25:22He walks to the bedside
00:25:24and looks at Lucas's 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,
00:25:40he 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
00:26:10to handle the paperwork.
00:26:12Then I'll have some
00:26:12education experts
00:26:13come teach him.
00:26:14Her heart leaps with joy,
00:26:16and it shows on her face.
00:26:18They walk out of Lucas's room
00:26:20and into the living room.
00:26:24have a drink.
00:26:26She pours Adrian a glass of wine
00:26:28and takes off the jacket
00:26:29draped over her shoulders.
00:26:32She's wearing an extremely
00:26:34sexy nightgown,
00:26:35deep v-neck,
00:26:36no lining in the chest.
00:26:37It's almost like wearing
00:26:38nothing at all.
00:26:39He looks away
00:26:39without changing his expression.
00:26:42Lucas's matter is settled.
00:26:43I'll go now.
00:26:52Adrian,
00:26:53yesterday was my fault.
00:26:55I shouldn't have said
00:26:56that Jessica was embarrassing
00:26:58herself by mixing
00:26:58with that kind of woman.
00:27:00You're not to blame for that.
00:27:02She puts on a gentle,
00:27:03vulnerable look,
00:27:04her 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.
00:27:33I'm a bit drunk, Adrian.
00:27:39Could you help me
00:27:40to bed to rest?
00:27:42I can barely stand
00:27:43on my own.
00:27:52Her hand slides down
00:27:54toward Adrian's waist.
00:28:04He grabs her wrist
00:28:05and throws it aside.
00:28:09Don't do this.
00:28:10I told you,
00:28:11I won't have that kind
00:28:12of 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
00:28:33when 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 embarrassed
00:28:51and 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?
00:29:13What exactly
00:29:14are your feelings
00:29:15for her?
00:29:22I married her
00:29:23because it was
00:29:24my grandfather's
00:29:24dying wish.
00:29:26The purchase
00:29:26back then
00:29:27was always Jessica,
00:29:28but it wasn't
00:29:29my choice.
00:29:34So 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.
00:29:43Divorce 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
00:29:54done anything 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
00:30:02long ago.
00:30:06The past
00:30:07is in the past.
00:30:08You need to
00:30:09look forward too.
00:30:10I won't go back
00:30:11on my promises
00:30:12to you.
00:30:13As long as I'm here,
00:30:14you and Lucas
00:30:15won't suffer.
00:30:16But don't bring
00:30:17up divorce again.
00:30:20After saying this,
00:30:21he ignores
00:30:22Eleanor's attempts
00:30:23to stop him
00:30:24and leaves.
00:30:26She smashes
00:30:27the wine glass
00:30:28to pieces,
00:30:29her eyes filled
00:30:30with malice.
00:30:33Jessica,
00:30:34you troublesome
00:30:35mute.
00:30:36I will make
00:30:37you pay for this.
00:30:38By the time
00:30:39Adrian returns
00:30:40to the Iris
00:30:40mansion,
00:30:41I'm already 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
00:30:48and swotin.
00:30:50Clearly,
00:30:50I've been crying.
00:30:52He reaches out,
00:30:53wanting to touch
00:30:54my face.
00:30:56His fingers
00:30:57stop just before
00:30:58touching me.
00:31:00He suddenly
00:31:01realizes he
00:31:03doesn't love me.
00:31:04He shouldn't
00:31:05make such a tender
00:31:06gesture.
00:31:07His face hardens.
00:31:09He pulls his hand
00:31:10back and turns
00:31:11away.
00:31:14Just then,
00:31:15his phone rings.
00:31:20Mr. Buckley,
00:31:21how do you
00:31:21want to handle
00:31:22the matter of
00:31:23your wife
00:31:23working at
00:31:24the pet shop?
00:31:25Mr. Buckley,
00:31:25I found out
00:31:26one more thing.
00:31:27That Lamont Graves,
00:31:28he was Mrs. 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 him.
00:31:35Adrian is silent
00:31:36for a moment.
00:31:37I knew it.
00:31:38She's been led
00:31:38astray by someone
00:31:39else.
00:31:40That's why she
00:31:41wants to divorce
00:31:41me.
00:31:42Jessica must
00:31:42come back home.
00:31:44She can't stay
00:31:44there any longer.
00:31:46Have someone
00:31:47take care of it
00:31:47as soon as
00:31:48possible.
00:31:49Are you saying
00:31:49we should go
00:31:50after that pet
00:31:50shop?
00:31:53Yes.
00:31:54The shop owner
00:31:55is called Lexi,
00:31:56right?
00:31:59Put pressure on
00:32:00her.
00:32:00I 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 the
00:32:30master bedroom
00:32:31door on the
00:32:32second floor.
00:32:33It's closed.
00:32:34Did Adrian come
00:32:35back last night?
00:32:45I look away
00:32:46and don't dwell
00:32:47on it.
00:32:47After breakfast,
00:32:49I hurry out.
00:33:02when I arrive at
00:33:04the pet shop,
00:33:04the staff are
00:33:05cleaning up and
00:33:06chatting.
00:33:07Jessica,
00:33:08you're here?
00:33:09Why do you look
00:33:10so pale?
00:33:11Are you okay?
00:33:11I sign that
00:33:13I'm fine
00:33:13and walk
00:33:14into the
00:33:15changing room.
00:33:21Time passes.
00:33:22The whole
00:33:23morning goes
00:33:23by and
00:33:24still nothing
00:33:25seems out
00:33:25of the
00:33:26ordinary.
00:33:26Just as I
00:33:27start to wonder
00:33:28if I'm being
00:33:28paranoid.
00:33:39Lexi comes
00:33:40rushing in.
00:33:46Boss,
00:33:47you look
00:33:47terrible.
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
00:33:56I've offended.
00:33:59Someone wants
00:34:00to buy my
00:34:00little shop.
00:34:02If I don't
00:34:02sell,
00:34:03they say
00:34:03they'll make
00:34:04it impossible
00:34:04for me to
00:34:05stay in
00:34:05Crevalli.
00:34:06Who's that
00:34:06arrogant?
00:34:07Who did you
00:34:08offend,
00:34:08boss?
00:34:10No idea.
00:34:11Anyway,
00:34:11never mind.
00:34:12You guys
00:34:12keep working.
00:34:17Lexi turns
00:34:17to look 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
00:34:23and 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,
00:34:36I wouldn't sell.
00:34:37Don't worry.
00:34:38I won't abandon
00:34:39any of you.
00:34:43Everyone 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.
00:34:50Because I know
00:34:52Adrian has
00:34:53made his
00:34:54move.
00:34:57I walk
00:34:58to a corner
00:34:58and call
00:34:59him immediately.
00:35:08Adrian doesn't
00:35:09answer my call.
00:35:10I try again.
00:35:13Still no answer.
00:35:15I think about
00:35:15quitting,
00:35:16so I don't
00:35:17drag Lexi
00:35:17down.
00:35:18Lexi sees
00:35:19what I'm thinking
00:35:20and tells me
00:35:21not to worry.
00:35:22You're my
00:35:23people.
00:35:23Whoever tries
00:35:24to mess with
00:35:25you will have
00:35:25to answer to
00:35:26me.
00:35:27Don't think
00:35:27about quit.
00:35:28The next day,
00:35:29Lexi gets a
00:35:30call, then
00:35:31leaves with an
00:35:32anxious look 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 says
00:35:39she's busy and
00:35:40won't be coming
00:35:40in.
00:35:41Her voice sounds
00:35:42exhausted.
00:35:43The fourth day,
00:35:44there's no word
00:35:44from Lexi at
00:35:45all.
00:35:46Calls won't go
00:35:46through.
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 day
00:35:52off and go
00:35:52to the Buckley
00:35:53group to find
00:35:53Adrian.
00:35:54This started
00:35:55because of me.
00:35:56I have to
00:35:57solve it myself.
00:36:05The 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.
00:36:15No reply.
00:36:17Then, I
00:36:18messaged his
00:36:19assistant,
00:36:20Cedric.
00:36:22Cedric comes
00:36:22down personally
00:36:23to escort me.
00:36:25He pauses
00:36:26when he sees
00:36:26me.
00:36:29Mrs. Buckley.
00:36:31Mr. Buckley
00:36:32is in a meeting
00:36:33right now.
00:36:33It's not convenient
00:36:34for him to see you.
00:36:35This time,
00:36:36for the sake
00:36:37of my friend,
00:36:37I become firm.
00:36:39I take out a pen
00:36:40and paper and
00:36:41write a few lines
00:36:42forcefully.
00:36:43Is he really too
00:36:44busy to see me,
00:36:45or is he deliberately
00:36:46avoiding me?
00:36:47He reads the words,
00:36:48surprised by my
00:36:49aggressiveness.
00:36:53I keep writing,
00:36:54my hands trembling.
00:36:56Tell him to direct
00:36:57all his dirty tricks
00:36:58at me,
00:36:59not at the pet shop
00:36:59people.
00:37:00Otherwise,
00:37:01I will only
00:37:02despise him.
00:37:05Mrs. Buckley,
00:37:05please calm down.
00:37:06I'll take you up
00:37:06right now.
00:37:08He doesn't dare
00:37:09delay any longer
00:37:10and quickly
00:37:10escorts me upstairs.
00:37:13Adrian really
00:37:13is in a meeting.
00:37:15The conference room
00:37:15door is ajar.
00:37:17I push the door
00:37:18open and barge
00:37:19straight in.
00:37:24He leans back
00:37:25in his chair
00:37:26and looks at me
00:37:27coldly.
00:37:43You came to accuse
00:37:44me because of
00:37:45that pet shop?
00:37:46Why are you
00:37:47going after
00:37:48the pet shop?
00:37:54Lexi is
00:37:54innocent.
00:37:55She may be
00:37:56innocent.
00:37:57But what about
00:37:58you?
00:38:01You went behind
00:38:02my back
00:38:02to work there.
00:38:03Did you consider
00:38:04my feelings?
00:38:09That was my job,
00:38:10my freedom.
00:38:16I didn't
00:38:17betray you.
00:38:23he stands up,
00:38:25walks around
00:38:25the desk
00:38:26and comes
00:38:27to stand
00:38:27in front
00:38:27of me.
00:38:30You're
00:38:31Mrs. Buckley.
00:38:32Everything
00:38:33about you
00:38:33belongs to
00:38:34me.
00:38:36Including
00:38:36your time.
00:38:38Including
00:38:38your job.
00:38:39I'm trembling
00:38:40with rage.
00:38:41The first time,
00:38:42I curse him
00:38:43in sign language.
00:38:45Adrian,
00:38:46you have
00:38:46no shame.
00:38:48He understands.
00:38:49He lets out a
00:38:50low laugh,
00:38:51but his eyes
00:38:51turn cold.
00:38:55Little mute,
00:38:56you call me
00:38:57shameless,
00:38:58but are you
00:38:59any better?
00:39:01This could have
00:39:02been solved
00:39:02if you had just
00:39:03given in.
00:39:05But you had to
00:39:06let it escalate
00:39:08until everyone
00:39:09loses.
00:39:10He lowers
00:39:10his head
00:39:11and leans
00:39:11close to
00:39:12my ear.
00:39:15If you
00:39:15really want
00:39:16to work
00:39:16so badly,
00:39:17then come
00:39:18work by
00:39:18my 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.
00:39:35He
00:39:36straightens up
00:39:37and looks
00:39:37at me
00:39:38with 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 watch
00:39:51that shop
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.
00:40:00My 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 drag
00:40:15them into
00:40:15this.
00:40:17If you
00:40:17just 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
00:40:24tears
00:40:25and stare
00:40:25at him
00:40:26defiantly.
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
00:40:31tool?
00:40:32I can't
00:40:33do that.
00:40:36His
00:40:37expression
00:40:37shifts,
00:40:38his voice
00:40:39turning
00:40:39colder.
00:40:40What
00:40:41kind of
00:40:41job do

00:41:11It's
