Short filmTranscript
00:01Dating you's only been a penalty for a bet I lost.
00:04The past five years were just a game.
00:08Over the weekend, my mom, Deborah, invited my childhood best friend to come over for dinner.
00:12At the table, she suddenly flashes a smile and says,
00:17Nolan, if you know any decent single guys, set them up with Haley and Kendra.
00:21They're not getting any younger.
00:26I still wish to see them walk down the aisle someday.
00:30I duck my head and gently kick Nolan under the table.
00:32He promised me that after five years of secret dates, we'd actually go public.
00:36But that's when Nolan takes Kendra's hand instead.
00:38Deborah, we already got everything settled. We're a married couple now.
00:41A pair of wedding rings are on their ring fingers.
00:43My mom is overjoyed.
00:45To think of it, you and Haley always wanted a joint wedding as kids.
00:50Now that you're settled, would you set Haley up with someone ASAP? ASAP?
00:54After dinner, Nolan motions for me to join him on the balcony.
00:57He lights a cigarette, voice turning ice cold.
01:03Dating you's only been a penalty for a bet I lost.
01:06The past five years were just a game.
01:10I'm shivering all over, but forcing myself to keep my cool.
01:14You said you loved me.
01:15Nolan sighs, ruffling my hair.
01:17Kendra is your mom's adopted child.
01:20What if Debra uses her as a pawn for some corporate marriage?
01:24She begged me for help. There's no way I'd turn her down.
01:27Tears stream down my face.
01:29Inside, Kendra is asking softly for Nolan to come home.
01:33I watch them walk away, then turn to my mom, choking back sobs.
01:37Mom, I'm moving to Switzerland with you.
01:40She looks at me in disbelief and asks,
01:41Did I hear that right?
01:44You refused to go no matter what I said before.
01:47Why the sudden change?
01:52I said no because I couldn't let go of Nolan.
01:54He's a germaphobe with a chronic stomach issue.
01:57Without me, he can't even take care of himself.
01:59And we've already been secretly together for five years.
02:02We were supposed to go public soon.
02:04But now, he just dumps me over some bet, choosing Kendra instead.
02:07My eyes are sore, swollen with tears.
02:10I look away, avoiding my mom's gaze.
02:12I need a fresh start somewhere new.
02:14I heard Swiss guys are shockingly attractive.
02:17Maybe I'll find my real charm there.
02:19After wiping away the tears, I try to keep it together.
02:22You're crying because Nolan chose Kendra, right?
02:26Actually, I could tell.
02:28You love him, don't you?
02:30My mom looks at my reddened eyes and lets out a soft sigh.
02:35Nolan is a good kid.
02:36I've been waiting for some good news from you too, but he chose Kendra in the end.
02:40Her words reveal the hard truth, breaking my heart.
02:43Every ounce of bitterness in me surges up.
02:46I throw myself into her arms, sobbing.
02:49She has no idea we were still kissing just yesterday.
02:53She has no idea we've actually been together for five years either.
02:57Early the next morning, I woke up to my phone vibrating constantly in the room.
03:01Kendra is sending a series of taunting photos.
03:04The first one shows them having a candlelight dinner at the very Italian restaurant where
03:09he first told me he loved me.
03:10The second one shows them together in bed, naked.
03:14The third one is a photo of three.
03:16My mind goes blank as I recognize the man standing next to Nolan.
03:20Just then, a message from Kendra.
03:23Five years ago, we were about to graduate.
03:26Kendra said she wanted one last wild adventure before graduation and proposed a hiking trip
03:31in the national park.
03:32Before we headed out, she brought along a stranger, Trevor.
03:36Trevor was sucking up to me the whole time.
03:39His hands kept brushing against my butt.
03:41I was disturbed.
03:42I asked Nolan for help, but he was impatient, not paying any attention.
03:47He was just tying Kendra's shoelaces.
03:50But it was different when we were kids.
03:52There was this one time, a school security slapped my butt.
03:56Nolan went ballistic for that.
03:58He and his friends beat the guy up and reported him to the school.
04:01One night on the hike, as I was falling asleep, I felt a chill on my chest.
04:06I snapped my eyes open.
04:08Trevor was tugging my shirt.
04:10I screamed.
04:12Nolan rushed over immediately.
04:13He pulled me into his arms.
04:15I was crying, saying that we should call the police.
04:18Nolan frowned and stopped me from doing that.
04:20We call the cops.
04:21Everyone will know about this.
04:22Plus, Trevor's family's got big lawyers.
04:25That won't do you any good.
04:26I cried even harder.
04:28Nolan took my hand, looking worried.
04:30Don't be afraid.
04:32I'll protect you.
04:33That experience led to our secret relationship after graduation.
04:37He said we'll make it official once his career is on track.
04:41My phone vibrates again, snapping me out of my thoughts.
04:43Another message from Kendra.
04:47The whole story about losing a bet and a penalty?
04:49That's all a lie.
04:51Truth is, Nolan was just afraid that Debra would blame him for not taking care of you.
04:55I hired that guy just to harass you.
04:58Nolan didn't want the police to find out I was involved.
05:00He knew you had a crush on him, so he sacrificed himself to date you just to keep your mouth
05:05shut.
05:06Everything he did was to protect me.
05:09It feels like a bucket of ice water poured over my head.
05:12I can't stop my tears at all.
05:15The day we made our relationship official, Nolan set off a sky full of fireworks for me.
05:21Under the glowing sky, he leaned in and kissed my lips, making a promise with all his heart.
05:27Haley, I'll love you for the rest of my life.
05:30My phone vibrates again.
05:32This time, it's an audio clip.
05:34My fingers are shaking as I tap play.
05:36Nolan's voice is coming out of the speaker.
05:39Kendra, Haley is pregnant.
05:41But don't worry, I'll get rid of it.
05:46My heart feels like it's being crushed by an iron fist.
05:49I can barely breathe.
05:51The third year we'd been together, I found out I was pregnant.
05:54Nolan was so excited he couldn't sleep all night.
05:57The next morning, he insisted on driving me to my prenatal checkup.
06:01Halfway there, the brakes somehow failed.
06:03The car slammed into a garbage.
06:06I was bleeding right after the crash.
06:08The blood soaked through my dress and stained the seat crimson.
06:12Nolan was knocked unconscious.
06:14Thick black smoke all over the end.
06:16My first reaction wasn't to call an ambulance, but to smash the window and drag him out of
06:21the smoking car.
06:22By the time I woke up in the hospital, the baby was already gone.
06:26Nolan knelt by my side, speechless.
06:29Worried he'd blame himself for all that happened, I swallowed my own grief and kept it
06:33inside.
06:34Turns out it was all a meticulously designed plan.
06:38I let out a dry laugh, then start to cry.
06:41Finally, I pull that crumpled pregnancy report from the drawer and tear it to shreds.
06:45Back to the present.
06:47Early in the morning, Nolan shows up with some groceries.
06:50He sees the cardboard boxes in the living room, frowning.
06:54Debra, are you moving?
06:55I beat my mom to an answer.
06:57No, just clearing some junk.
06:59Nolan glances at me, then naturally starts putting the groceries into the fridge.
07:05Debra, Kendra asked me to bring these for you.
07:07Her morning sickness is pretty brutal, so she's not coming over herself.
07:10I'm all stunned, unable to speak.
07:12Even though I knew he betrayed me long ago, my heart still aches.
07:16A lot.
07:16Just last month, I simply mentioned the Northern Lights in Norway in one of our talks.
07:20Then he dropped everything at work for a trip.
07:23Last week, when I was treated unfairly at the office, he showed up instantly, teaching
07:27me how to fight back.
07:29Nolan's love has been split in half for two girls at the same time.
07:34Every time he drops me off and tucks me in, he goes to see Kendra next.
07:38My mom shoots me a quick glance, her voice full of concern.
07:41Let Kendra rest well.
07:42Don't worry about me.
07:44Nolan nods, then pulls a stack of files from his briefcase.
07:46By the way, Debra, these are some eligible bachelors from my company.
07:50Take a look for Haley.
07:51See if anyone catches your eye.
07:53I take one look at them.
07:54The first one is Trevor.
07:56A wave of nausea hits me, and I rush into the bathroom to dry heave.
08:00Debra follows me in a panic, patting my back.
08:04Is it your stomach again?
08:05You've been throwing up so much these days.
08:07Nolan stares at me for a while.
08:09While my mom goes to grab some medicine, he corners me and grabs my wrist.
08:17You're pregnant.
08:19I shove him away in total disgust, snapping at him.
08:22No.
08:23He locks his eyes onto my abdomen, smirking at me.
08:26You haven't had your period in two months.
08:29My heart feels like it's being ripped open.
08:31I shout at him, pushing him away with everything I've got.
08:34It's none of your business!
08:36You're Kendra's husband!
08:37The one you should care about is her!
08:42Before Kendra ever showed up, Nolan was all about me.
08:47He knew I craved spicy food over sweets.
08:49He knew I never wanted cheese on my sandwiches.
08:52He's even more familiar with my messy period cycle than I am.
08:56Every time my period hits, the cramps would leave me curled up in bed.
09:00Nolan once asked his mom to reach out to her friends in OBGYN just to find a way to ease
09:06my pain.
09:06In the days leading up to my period, he dropped all his video games after school.
09:11He stayed at my place, taking hours to make me cream of mushroom soup, just because it's my favorite.
09:16Mrs. Hart joked with my mom back then, saying she's never seen Nolan being so attentive to any girl.
09:22She even joked about our potential engagement in the future.
09:26But later, my mom adopted Kendra.
09:29She was all tiny and frail, like she might blow away in the wind.
09:33During a morning run, she fainted and tripped me.
09:35We both fell down.
09:37Without a word, Nolan scooped her up and sprinted to the clinic on campus.
09:41From that day on, the girl under Nolan's protection wasn't me anymore, but Kendra.
09:46I cried a few times over this matter.
09:48I wanted to never see him again.
09:51He just patted my head, saying that Kendra is a pitiful girl.
09:54That the strong are supposed to look after the weak.
09:57So he forced me to take care of her too.
09:59When my mom sent new clothes for us, he let Kendra pick first.
10:03We were using identical lunchboxes, but he gave all my chicken to Kendra.
10:08I didn't mind him looking after her, but why treat me as a stepping stone for their romance?
10:13Now he is walking toward me.
10:15I quickly wipe away my tears.
10:17I think I catch a flash of pity in Nolan's eyes.
10:19But soon it's gone.
10:21Before my mom walks in, he leans into my ear and whispers,
10:24Get rid of the kid.
10:26Kendra is a sensitive girl.
10:27She'll definitely feel like things aren't over between us.
10:30She's been yearning for a sense of security since little.
10:32I had said the same thing to Nolan, not just once.
10:35Back when we were camping and hiking in the national park,
10:38I told him I didn't feel safe and wanted him to keep me company at night.
10:41He frowned at me, saying he had to stay with Kendra.
10:44After my baby was gone, I asked him to stay with me in the hospital.
10:48But he said Kendra would be devastated if he didn't go to her birthday party.
10:51I got jealous and hysterical, demanding him to tell me what's really going on between them.
10:57He looked at me as if I was a madwoman, with clear disgust in his eyes.
11:01Haley, you're taking things too far.
11:03Kendra's just like a little sister to me.
11:05Taking it too far?
11:07He'd crossed the line.
11:09I let out a bitter laugh, shoving him away, acting like I don't care.
11:12Don't tell me about my own feelings.
11:14It's none of your concern.
11:15When my mom walks in the room, the tension is suffocating.
11:19Nolan gives me a cold glare, then politely says goodbye to my mom.
11:22Debra, I'll leave you guys to it.
11:24It's time for me to go back and cook for Kendra.
11:26My heart is almost frozen by his indifference.
11:29In our secret relationship, I am always the one giving more care.
11:33When he got drunk, I had to pick him up and haul his 180-pound body up the stairs.
11:38When his stomach acted up in the middle of the night, I got up immediately, making oatmeal
11:42and delivering medicine to his place.
11:44But when I was bedridden with a high fever, I called him for a few words of comfort.
11:49But he said I was childish.
11:52The door closes.
11:53I collapse to the floor and cry out loud.
11:56My mom thinks I'm crying out of the stomach ache.
11:59She holds the medicine to my lips, comforting me with her soft voice.
12:03Take this.
12:04The pain will go away.
12:05Her warm gestures are triggering all the emotions I've been holding back.
12:09Between my sobs, I can barely speak a full sentence.
12:12Mom, Nolan and I have been together five years.
12:15It's not a stomach ache.
12:16I'm pregnant.
12:17My mom is shocked by my words.
12:19Her eyes well up with tears.
12:21She helps me back to my room, her fingers trembling as she wipes away my tears.
12:25Was Kenda being the other woman?
12:27Or did Nolan cheat on you?
12:29I don't know how to answer her question.
12:31I can only keep shaking my head.
12:33She stops asking.
12:34She strokes my back gently.
12:36Sleep now.
12:38You'll feel better when you wake up.
12:40I'm exhausted by my own tears and emotions, my eyelids too swollen to stay open.
12:45Soon, I drift off.
12:47When I wake up, my mom is already out.
12:50There are 99 missed calls from Nolan.
12:53For some reason, I'm feeling anxious.
12:55I scramble to put on my shoes, calling him back.
12:58He picks up instantly, shouting at me.
13:00Haley!
13:01Debra is here!
13:02And she's going after Kendra!
13:03I rush to their new house as fast as I can.
13:06Kendra's eyes are red and swollen.
13:08There's a terrifying handprint on her face.
13:11She huddles in Nolan's arms, sobbing.
13:13My mom's chest heaves up and down with pure rage.
13:17Haley, it's all my fault!
13:19I shouldn't have taken Nolan for myself, but I'm the one he loves.
13:22I'm already carrying his child.
13:24Please, just let him go!
13:25Hearing this, my mom points a finger at Kendra and snarls.
13:29You deserve to be mistreated in those foster homes!
13:32Kendra wails, squeezing out crocodile tears and playing the perfect victim.
13:36I don't want anything to do with them anymore.
13:39I'm taking my mom to leave.
13:41Right after we turn around, Kendra lunges at me.
13:43The stairs are right behind me.
13:45I lose my balance.
13:46Kendra grips my eyes hard, using my body as a cushion.
13:52She whispers her venomous words into my ear.
13:54Let's see which baby Nolan's gonna save.
13:57I hit the floor hard.
13:58My stomach feels like someone is ripping it apart from the inside.
14:02Nolan's eyes are wide open.
14:03He rushes over in a blind panic.
14:06His hands hover mid-air, hesitating.
14:08My mom screams at him, grabbing his shoulder.
14:10Get Haley to the hospital now!
14:12She's bleeding!
14:14Kendra turns deathly pale, her breath coming in weak gasps.
14:17Help Haley first.
14:19Our baby is a poor thing.
14:23Its mother, an orphan herself, has never known real love.
14:29Kendra's voice sounds totally like that of a victim.
14:32Nolan is torn apart, the veins in his hands bulging with tension.
14:37Kendra lets out a faint whimper.
14:39Nolan stares at me for quite a while.
14:41At least you've got your mom.
14:43The baby and I are all she's got left.
14:45I feel a warm liquid flowing out of my body.
14:48I watch Nolan carry Kendra away urgently.
14:52Despair takes over me.
14:53I don't even know how many times this has happened.
14:56Every time he hesitates, he always chooses Kendra in the end.
15:01The ambulance arrives soon.
15:03My mom grips my hand tight.
15:05Seeing what I was going through, she cursed the very day she ever adopted that parasite Kendra.
15:10I'm sent into the operating room.
15:12Cold instruments slide into my body.
15:14Two years, another child of mine turns into a pool of blood once again.
15:20I don't feel sad anymore.
15:21My heart is already withered.
15:23After the surgery, lying on the hospital bed, I feel this empty pain in my body.
15:29My mom walks into my room, highly concerned.
15:31Mom, take me away.
15:33I want to go now.
15:34The city I used to live and grow up in turns into a blur of watery black dots outside the
15:39window.
15:40A message from Nolan pops up on my screen.
15:43I let out a cold, bitter laugh.
15:46I block all of his accounts on every single platform and hurl my SIM card out the window.
15:52Nolan stares at the red exclamation mark in the chat box.
15:56The message won't go through anymore.
15:58He tries to call, but it goes straight to voicemail.
16:00He tries a different number.
16:02Still nothing.
16:03Haley's blocked him completely.
16:05Not just blocking him, she changes her number too.
16:08Nolan leans against the wall, his mind a total blank.
16:11He has no idea how things ended up like this.
16:14Kendra lies on the hospital bed, her face ghostly pale, asking Nolan with a weak voice.
16:21How's Haley?
16:23Is she okay?
16:24Nolan opens the window, taking a deep breath.
16:27Looking at Kendra, he speaks with deep regret.
16:30Kendra, that fake marriage was a bad idea.
16:32Even if they found out you were pregnant out of wedlock, they wouldn't look down on you,
16:35you know?
16:36Her throat tight, Kendra pushes herself up from the bed.
16:39She wraps her arms around Nolan from behind, crying like a little crawl.
16:42Nolan, are you regretting this?
16:43I'm not related to Deborah by blood.
16:46What if she dumps me off for some corporate marriage?
16:48Nolan narrows his eyes, cutting her off with a cold voice.
16:51Deborah isn't that kind of person.
16:52She loves you the same way she loves Haley.
16:55You are both her daughters.
16:59As he hears his own words, a wave of guilt hits him.
17:02Not long ago, Kendra came to him with red, puffy eyes, asking for help.
17:06She said she was pregnant and the father was nowhere to be found.
17:09The doctor said that her endometrium is too thin.
17:12If she got an abortion, she might never conceive again.
17:15Nolan's heart softened as she cried.
17:17He had been fiercely protective of her for years.
17:20He always sees Kendra as his own little sister.
17:22He can't afford to see her suffer.
17:25As a result, Nolan agreed to her terms.
17:27His plan was simple.
17:29Once Kendra gives birth to the child and leaves the city,
17:32everything will go back to normal.
17:34He could start over with me, just like nothing ever happened.
17:37But now he's realized how wrong he was.
17:39He is my boyfriend, not Kendra's bodyguard 24-7.
17:43Nolan turns around and gently pries Kendra's hands off him.
17:46I'm sorry.
17:48I can't keep lying to them.
17:50Once the holiday's over, we'll tell them everything.
17:52Tears hang on Kendra's lashes, making her look appealing in a fragile manner.
17:56She stares at Nolan in utter disbelief.
17:59You mean, you don't love me?
18:02Then why did you kiss me two years ago?
18:06Why did you sleep with me, huh?
18:10Nolan rubs his temples in frustration.
18:12That was never meant to happen.
18:14I was drunk.
18:15I thought you were Haley.
18:16Kendra screams, flapping him across the face.
18:18If you don't love me, why do you always choose me over Haley?
18:20Why do you take me out to dinner so often?
18:22Why did you stage that accident to make her baby disappear?
18:26Nolan opens his mouth, but he can't find the right words to answer.
18:29Maybe he really did have feelings for Kendra at some point.
18:32But today, seeing me tumble down those stairs, bleeding, he was heartbroken.
18:36Nolan finally gets it.
18:37His one and only true love is me.
18:40He pushes Kendra away without another word.
18:43Storms out of the hospital, hitting the gas and racing toward my place.
18:48But when he arrives, the house is all empty and dark.
18:52No one's home.
18:53His hands are shaking, frantically dialing my number.
18:57The voice on the other end isn't my voice like it used to be.
19:00It's a cold, automated prompt.
19:03Haley's changed her number.
19:04She's blocked every single way for him to reach her again.
19:07A massive wave of terror surges through Nolan's chest.
19:11He fumbles through his pockets, pulling out the spare key I left him a long time ago.
19:16He pushes the door open.
19:17The house is all empty.
19:19The dried flowers on the table are gone.
19:22Those were made from the roses the day he told me he loved me.
19:25Nolan is trying to picture the way I took the bouquet apart.
19:28The way I hung the flowers upside down in the pantry.
19:31He held me in his arms, treating me like the most adorable treasure in the world.
19:35If you like flowers, I'll get you a bouquet every single day.
19:37These are different.
19:38They are the flowers of your love to me.
19:42This is our little souvenir.
19:47I want to keep them blooming forever.
19:49Right here on my table.
19:52But now those flowers are all gone.
19:54The table is bare in the room.
19:56Nolan is having a hard time catching his breath.
19:58He sprints upstairs and rushes to my bedroom.
20:05The display shelves are empty too.
20:07They used to hold every meaningful gift Nolan gave me over the years.
20:11My first pair of rollerblades, the corsage from high school prom,
20:15a copy of my college acceptance letter, and many more items.
20:18I used to wipe them clean all the time, saying this with a smile.
20:22I'll move all of these things into our new home.
20:24I'm going to fill every corner with our sweet memories.
20:29Everywhere you see will remind you of our love.
20:36Those sweet words still echo in his ears.
20:39But I'm gone now, away from his life.
20:41Nolan collapses onto my bed, burying himself in the sheets,
20:45searching for that once familiar scent.
20:47Then he saw the ring in the trash can next to the bedside table.
20:49It's that silver ring from him.
20:52I broke into tears when he slipped it on my finger.
20:54I said,
20:55Nolan,
20:57even if our love stays a secret, I'll wear it every day.
21:00But now, I've thrown it away like some piece of trash.
21:03His shoulders are trembling.
21:04He grips the ring so tight it digs into his palm.
21:07Stumbling to his feet and storming out,
21:09he's checking every place I might be.
21:10My favorite cafe,
21:11the dock by the lake,
21:13my office,
21:14the restaurant for our first date.
21:16Yet he finds nothing.
21:18Now he's totally freaking out.
21:19He calls his assistant,
21:21demanding the passenger list
21:22for every recent international flight.
21:24He slams his fist against the steering wheel
21:26like a madman
21:27before pulling a U-turn,
21:29racing back to the hospital.
21:30She grew up in our house after all.
21:32She might have some clue where we went.
21:34As he reaches the door of the hospital room,
21:37Kendra's furious voice is audible from inside.
21:40What are you doing here, you jerk?
21:43Nolan looks inside, holding his breath.
21:46Trevor is with her,
21:47the guy who tried to harass Haley in the National Park.
21:50Nolan already said he'd marry me.
21:52He's about to be the father of my child.
21:54Kendra is pounding on Trevor in a fit of rage,
21:56cursing him with harsh words.
21:58Damn loser.
21:59Couldn't even handle that bitch Haley.
22:01Fuck off.
22:02Trevor is quietly taking the blows,
22:03pulling her into his arms to soothe her.
22:05I thought I gave her enough dose, all right?
22:07But she woke up before I could even touch her.
22:09Besides, I sabotaged those breaks for you, okay?
22:13I also helped you with that fake audio
22:14to make her believe Nolan killed their own baby.
22:16Don't you remember?
22:17Nolan's nails dig into his palms.
22:19He watches Kendra as she leans on Trevor's shoulder,
22:21a vicious smile on her face.
22:23Nolan, such an idiot.
22:25I just told him Debra could use me as a pawn
22:27for a corporate marriage,
22:29and he was dumping Haley right away
22:30to get a fake marriage with me,
22:32and I pushed her down the stairs,
22:34used her as a cushion.
22:35There's no way the baby in her womb could survive that.
22:38Something inside Nolan finally snaps.
22:40He kicks the door open in a blind rage.
22:43Nolan, you're back!
22:44Kendra frantically shoves Trevor away
22:46the moment she sees Nolan's face.
22:47Nolan looks at her with a chilling, hollow smile.
22:50So you've been lying to me all this time.
22:53For the first time,
22:54he realizes how pathetic her acting really is.
22:56He grabs Kendra by the wrist,
22:58slamming her against the wall.
22:59Haley and I are falling apart.
23:01It's all because of you, isn't it?
23:04This is the first time Kendra sees Nolan losing it.
23:07She's too terrified to speak.
23:09The room goes dead silent.
23:11Trevor tries to sneak toward the door.
23:12Nolan's eyes are bloodshot.
23:14He knocks Trevor down with a single punch
23:16and starts swinging like a madman.
23:18You fucking bastard!
23:19I should have let Haley call the cops back then
23:20so you'd be rotting in jail now
23:21and you sabotaged my brakes,
23:23causing Haley to mismare!
23:24Trevor screams fill the room as he begs for mercy.
23:27It was Kendra's idea.
23:29She seduced me.
23:30She made me do it.
23:35He stands up, swaying on his feet.
23:37Nolan's knuckles are all bloody now.
23:41Kendra is shaking violently out of fear,
23:43backing away.
23:45Nolan, listen to me.
23:49Before she can finish,
23:51Nolan's hand is around her throat, choking.
23:53He stares intently at his slightly rounded abdomen.
23:56He lets out a bitter roar,
23:58tears streaming down his face,
24:00his voice savage and broken.
24:07You only had your happy life
24:09because Debra adopted you.
24:12And Haley used her own allowance
24:16to pay for your tuition.
24:19Kendra's face turns a deep purple
24:21as she struggles to breathe.
24:23She flashes a grin at Nolan,
24:25every word twisting the knife in his heart.
24:28You judging me?
24:31You're just as guilty as me.
24:33And this time,
24:34you killed your own child with your own hands.
24:37Nolan's sanity is completely replaced by rage.
24:40He releases his grip,
24:42letting Kendra slam hard onto the ice floor.
24:45Kendra winces in pain.
24:47But before she can react,
24:49a searing agony rips through her abdomen.
24:52Nolan watches her in pain with indifference,
24:55his expression manic.
24:56Pay with your life!
24:58Blood gushes from Kendra's lower body,
25:00her face turning extremely pale.
25:03Nolan deadbolts the door and calls the police.
25:09I want to report a crime.
25:11Two, actually.
25:11One for sexual assault and attempted murder.
25:14The other for fraud.
25:16Kendra has taken a massive amount of money
25:18from him over the years.
25:20Her jewelry,
25:21her high-end designer dresses,
25:22all meant for Haley in the beginning.
25:25After the police file the case,
25:27his assistant finally arrives,
25:29panting for Brad.
25:30He's clutching a stack of documents.
25:33Nolan, we found Haley and Deborah
25:35on the passenger list for a flight to Switzerland.
25:37Nolan's tears fall onto the black print on the sheet.
25:40He finally realizes that Haley
25:42is abandoning him for real this time.
25:44He tells his assistant to book
25:45the earliest flight possible.
25:47He is going to Switzerland.
25:48You're a code.
25:49He is coming to get me back.
25:50He wants to tell me that he never loved Kendra at all.
25:53That he will only ever love one soul his entire life.
25:56And that is me.
25:58Once we arrive in Switzerland,
25:59my mom hires the best caregivers
26:01to look after me.
26:01That ungrateful, backstabbing bitch.
26:04During my recovery,
26:05my mom keeps cursing Nolan and Kendra nonstop.
26:08She doesn't contact Nolan's parents.
26:10Instead, she calls the shared family lawyer
26:13to notify Nolan's father
26:14that if Nolan comes anywhere near me again,
26:16she will take him to court.
26:18Mrs. Hart calls me one day.
26:20She says she never imagined
26:22Nolan would do such things to me.
26:24I never imagined he could do something like this.
26:27I can't find any word
26:28to respond to her apologetic words.
26:31He's already hurt me too much.
26:33Nolan's betrayal,
26:34killing my baby,
26:35the way he toyed with my feelings,
26:37all of these are real.
26:39These wounds are too deep to ever heal.
26:42Seeing my distress,
26:43my mom takes the phone away.
26:44She pulls me into her arms,
26:46her voice trembling.
26:48How much pain have you been through all by yourself?
26:51Two weeks later,
26:52Nolan finds me anyway.
26:53It's snowing in Switzerland.
26:55He stands outside the courtyard,
26:57his shoulders covered in white,
26:59his face and nose frozen in bright, raw red.
27:02Without even looking at him,
27:04I slam the door.
27:05I've got nothing to do with him.
27:07His eyes become puffy
27:08as he rushes forward,
27:10pounding on the door.
27:11Haley,
27:11please listen to me.
27:12Those photos and recordings were all fake.
27:15I never cheated with Kendra.
27:17I only saw her as a sister.
27:19I was already in a terrible mood,
27:20but his pathetic excuses actually make me laugh.
27:23My mom just woke up.
27:24She rubs her eyes and walks over.
27:26The moment she hears Nolan's voice,
27:28her eyes are filled with pure loathing.
27:31He has the nerve to show up?
27:32My mom fills a basin with water.
27:34Then she opens the window
27:35and douses Nolan with perfect precision.
27:38Nolan gets soaked to the bone.
27:39His hair clings to his face in wet clumps.
27:42He crouches down,
27:43clutching his head,
27:44his voice trembling and hoarse.
27:45Please,
27:46just let me say something to Haley.
27:48My mom slams the window shut
27:50and yanks the curtains closed.
27:52Haley has nothing to do with you anymore.
27:55Nolan lowers his head,
27:57his back slumping.
27:58It was freezing in Switzerland.
28:00He can only crouch outside the door,
28:01shivering violently.
28:02Inside, we have the heater
28:03warming up the room
28:04while watching Netflix.
28:06Nolan's voice drifts in every now and then.
28:08please forgive me.
28:10Give me a chance.
28:11I'll change, okay?
28:13I'll stay away from every other woman.
28:16I'll make you feel safe.
28:17My mom rolls her eyes every time he speaks.
28:20She even starts recording a video
28:21and sends it to Mrs. Hart,
28:23telling her to come and get her son.
28:24Even if Nolan froze to death on our doorstep,
28:27she wouldn't call an ambulance to collect his body.
28:29I curl up on the sofa,
28:30feeling a bit emotional.
28:31For five years,
28:32how many times have I forgiven him?
28:34When I was being followed after work,
28:36I called him for help,
28:37but he was at the movies with Kendra.
28:38When we fought and I lost my temper,
28:40doubting his love for me,
28:41he responded with silence and stormed out.
28:44Five years of compromising.
28:45I've given him more than enough chances.
28:47He never treated me seriously.
28:49There is no love in me for him anymore.
28:51I'm leaving for good.
28:52He has no right to ask me back.
