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.
04:09Trevor was tugging my shirt.
04:10I screamed.
04:11Nolan 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.
06:04The car slammed into a guardrail.
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 the smoking
06:21car.
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 inside.
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.
06:56No, 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.
07:40And let Kendra rest well.
07:42Don't worry about me.
07:44Nolan nods, then pulls a stack of files from his briefcase.
07:47By 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.
08:01Debra 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.
08:18I 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!
08:35You'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 OB-GYN just to find a way to
09:05ease
09:06my pain.
09:07In 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
09:16my favorite.
09:16Mrs. Hart joked with my mom back then, saying she's never seen Nolan being so attentive
09:21to 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, that the strong are supposed
09:56to 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.
10:07I didn't mind him looking after her, but why treat me as a stepping stone for their
10:12romance?
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, but 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, I told him I didn't feel safe
10:39and 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, but he said Kendra
10:49would 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 mad woman, with clear disgust in his eyes.
11:01Haley, you're taking things too far. Kendra'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.
11:13Don't tell me about my own feelings. It'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. It's time for me to go back and cook for Kendra.
11:26My heart is almost frozen by his indifference. In our secret relationship, I am always the one
11:32giving more care. When he got drunk, I had to pick him up and haul his 180-pound body up
11:37the
11:37stairs. When his stomach acted up in the middle of the night, I got up immediately, making oatmeal
11:42and delivering medicine to his place. But when I was bedridden with a high fever, I called him for
11:48a few words of comfort, but he said I was childish. The door closes. I collapse to the floor and
11:55cry out
11:55loud. My mom thinks I'm crying out of the stomach ache. She holds the medicine to my lips, comforting
12:01me with her soft voice. Take this. The pain will go away. Her warm gestures are triggering all the
12:07emotions I've been holding back. Between my sobs, I can barely speak a full sentence. Mom, Nolan, I have
12:13been together five years. It's not a stomach ache. I'm pregnant. My mom is shocked by my words. Her eyes
12:20well up with tears. She helps me back to my room, her fingers trembling as she wipes away
12:25my tears. Was Kenda being the other woman? Or did Nolan cheat on you? I don't know how to answer
12:30her
12:30question. I can only keep shaking my head. She stops asking. She strokes my back gently. Sleep now.
12:38You'll feel better when you wake up. I'm exhausted by my own tears and emotions, my eyelids too swollen
12:44to stay open. Soon, I drift off. When I wake up, my mom is already out. There are 99 missed
12:52calls from
12:52Nolan. For some reason, I'm feeling anxious. I scramble to put on my shoes, calling him back.
12:58He picks up instantly, shouting at me. Haley! Debra is here, and she's going after Kendra!
13:03I rush to their new house as fast as I can. Kendra's eyes are red and swollen. There's a terrifying
13:09handprint on her face. She huddles in Nolan's arms, sobbing. My mom's chest heaves up and down with
13:16pure rage. Haley, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken Nolan for myself, but I'm the one he
13:22loves. I'm already carrying his child. Please, just let him go. Hearing this, my mom points a finger at
13:27Kendra and snarls. You deserve to be mistreated in those foster homes. Kendra wails, squeezing out
13:34crocodile tears and playing the perfect victim. I don't want anything to do with them anymore.
13:39I'm taking my mom to leave. Right after we turn around, Kendra lunges at me. The stairs are right
13:44behind me. I lose my balance. Kendra grips my eyes hard, using my body as a cushion.
13:52She whispers her venomous words into my ear. Let's see which baby Nolan's gonna save. I hit the floor
13:58hard. My stomach feels like someone is ripping it apart from the inside. Nolan's eyes are wide open.
14:03He rushes over in a blind panic. His hands hover midair, hesitating. My mom screams at him,
14:10grabbing his shoulder. Get Haley to the hospital now! She's bleeding!
14:14Kendra turns deathly pale, her breath coming in weak gasps. Help Haley first. Our baby is a poor
14:22thing. Its mother, an orphan herself, has never known real love. Kendra's voice sounds totally like that
14:31of a victim. Nolan is torn apart, the veins in his hands bulging with tension. Kendra lets out a faint
14:38whimper. Nolan stares at me for quite a while. At least you've got your mom. The baby and I are
14:44all
14:44she's got left. I feel a warm liquid flowing out of my body. I watch Nolan carry Kendra away urgently.
14:52Despair takes over me. I don't even know how many times this has happened. Every time he hesitates,
14:58he always chooses Kendra in the end. The ambulance arrives soon. My mom grips my hand tight. Seeing
15:05what I was going through, she cursed the very day she ever adopted that parasite Kendra. I'm sent into
15:11the operating room. Cold instruments slide into my body. Two years, another child of mine turns into a
15:17pool of blood once again. I don't feel sad anymore. My heart is already withered. After the surgery,
15:24lying on the hospital bed, I feel this empty pain in my body. My mom walks into my room, highly
15:30concerned.
15:31Mom, take me away. I want to go now. The city I used to live and grow up in turns
15:37into a blur of
15:38watery black dots outside the window. A message from Nolan pops up on my screen. I let out a cold,
15:45bitter laugh. I 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. The message won't go through anymore.
15:58He tries to call, but it goes straight to voicemail. He tries a different number. Still nothing.
16:03Haley's blocked him completely. Not just blocking him, she changes her number too. Nolan leans against
16:09the wall, his mind a total blank. He has no idea how things ended up like this. Kendra lies on
16:15the
16:15hospital bed, her face ghostly pale, asking Nolan with a weak voice. How's Haley? Is she okay?
16:24Nolan opens the window, taking a deep breath. Looking at Kendra, he speaks with deep regret.
16:30Kendra, that fake marriage was a bad idea. Even if they found out you were pregnant out of wedlock,
16:34they wouldn't look down on you, you know? Her throat tight, Kendra pushes herself up from the bed.
16:39She wraps her arms around Nolan from behind, crying like a little crawl. Nolan, are you regretting
16:43this? I'm not related to Debra by blood. What if she dumps me off for some corporate marriage?
16:48Nolan narrows his eyes, cutting her off with a cold voice. Debra isn't that kind of person.
16:52She loves you the same way she loves Haley. You are both her daughters.
16:59As he hears his own words, a wave of guilt hits him. Not long ago, Kendra came to him with
17:04red,
17:05puffy eyes, asking for help. She said she was pregnant and the father was nowhere to be found.
17:09The doctor said that her endometrium is too thin. If she got an abortion, she might never conceive
17:14again. Nolan's heart softened as she cried. He had been fiercely protective of her for years.
17:20He always sees Kendra as his own little sister. He can't afford to see her suffer.
17:25As a result, Nolan agreed to her terms. His plan was simple. Once Kendra gives birth to the child
17:31and leaves the city, everything will go back to normal. He could start over with me,
17:35just like nothing ever happened. But now he's realized how wrong he was. He is my boyfriend,
17:41not Kendra's bodyguard 24-7. Nolan turns around and gently pries Kendra's hands off him.
17:46I'm sorry. I can't keep lying to them. Once 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? Then 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. I was drunk. I thought you were Haley.
18:16Kendra screams, flapping him across the face. If you don't love me, why do you always choose
18:20me over Haley? Why do you take me out to dinner so often? Why did you stage that accident to
18:24make
18:24her baby disappear? Nolan opens his mouth, but he can't find the right words to answer. Maybe he really
18:30did have feelings for Kendra at some point. But today, seeing me tumble down those stairs, bleeding,
18:35he was heartbroken. Nolan finally gets it. His one and only true love is me. He pushes Kendra away
18:41without another word, storms out of the hospital, hitting the gas and racing toward my place.
18:48But when he arrives, the house is all empty and dark. No one's home. His hands are shaking,
18:55frantically dialing my number. The voice on the other end isn't my voice like it used to be.
19:00It's a cold, automated prompt. Haley's changed her number. She's blocked every single way for him
19:06to reach her again. A massive wave of terror surges through Nolan's chest. He fumbles through his
19:12pockets, pulling out the spare key I left him a long time ago. He pushes the door open. The house
19:18is
19:18all empty. The dried flowers on the table are gone. Those were made from the roses the day he told
19:24me he
19:24loved me. Nolan is trying to picture the way I took the bouquet apart. The way I hung the flowers
19:29upside
19:30down in the pantry. He 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. They are the flowers of your love to me. This is our little souvenir.
19:47I want to keep them blooming forever, right here on my table.
19:52But now those flowers are all gone. The table is bare in the room. Nolan is having a hard time
19:57catching his breath. He sprints upstairs and rushes to my bedroom. The display shelves are empty too.
20:07They used to hold every meaningful gift Nolan gave me over the years. My first pair of rollerblades,
20:13the corsage from high school prom, a 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.
20:21I'll move all of these things into our new home. I'm gonna 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. But I'm gone now, away from his life. Nolan collapses onto my
20:42bed, burying himself in the sheets, searching for that once familiar scent. Then he saw the ring in the
20:48trash can next to the bedside table. It's that silver ring from him. I broke into tears when he
20:53slipped it on my finger. I said, Nolan, even if our love stays a secret, I'll wear it every day.
21:00But now
21:00I've thrown it away like some piece of trash. His shoulders are trembling. He grips the ring so tight
21:06it digs into his palm. Stumbling to his feet and storming out, he's checking every place I might be.
21:10My favorite cafe, the dock by the lake, my office, the restaurant for our first date.
21:16Yet he finds nothing. Now he's totally freaking out. He calls his assistant, demanding the passenger
21:22list for every recent international flight. He slams his fists against the steering wheel like a madman
21:27before pulling a U-turn, racing back to the hospital. She grew up in our house after all. She might
21:33have
21:33some clue where we went. As he reaches the door of the hospital room, Kendra's furious voice is audible
21:39from inside. What are you doing here, you jerk? Nolan looks inside, holding his breath. Trevor is
21:46with her, the guy who tried to harass Haley in the national park. Nolan already said he'd marry me.
21:52He's about to be the father of my child. Kendra is pounding on Trevor in a fit of rage, cursing
21:57him
21:57with harsh words. Damn loser! Couldn't even handle that bitch Haley! Fuck off!
22:02Trevor is quietly taking the blows, pulling her in his arms to soothe her.
22:05Babe, how can you say that? I thought I gave her enough dose, all right? But she woke up before
22:08I
22:08could even touch her. Besides, I sabotaged those breaks for you, okay? I also helped you with that
22:14fake audio to make her believe Nolan killed their own baby. Don't you remember? Nolan's nails dig into
22:18his palms. He watches Kendra as she leans on Trevor's shoulder, a vicious smile on her face.
22:23Nolan, such an idiot. I just told him Deborah could use me as a pawn for a corporate marriage,
22:28and he was dumping Haley right away to get a fake marriage with me. And I pushed her down the
22:33stairs,
22:34used her as a cushion. There's no way the baby in her womb could survive that. Something inside
22:39Nolan finally snaps. He kicks the door open in a blind rage. Nolan, you're back! Kendra frantically
22:45shoves Trevor away the moment she sees Nolan's face. Nolan looks at her with a chilling, hollow smile.
22:50So you've been lying to me all this time. For the first time, he realizes how pathetic
22:55her acting really is. He grabs Kendra by the wrist, slamming her against the wall.
22:59Haley and I are falling apart. It's all because of you, isn't it?
23:04This is the first time Kendra sees Nolan losing it. She's too terrified to speak. The room goes dead
23:10silent. Trevor tries to sneak toward the door. Nolan's eyes are bloodshot. He knocks Trevor down
23:15with a single punch and starts swinging like a madman. You fucking bastard! I should've let Haley call
23:20the cops back then so you'd be rotting in jail now. And you sabotaged my brakes, causing Haley to
23:24mismare! Trevor screams fill the room as he begs for mercy. It was Kendra's idea. She seduced me.
23:30She made me do it.
23:35He stands up, swaying on his feet. Nolan's knuckles are all bloody now. Kendra is shaking violently out of
23:42fear, backing away. Nolan, listen to me.
23:49Before she can finish, Nolan's hand is around her throat, choking. He stares intently at his
23:55slightly rounded abdomen. He lets out a bitter roar, tears streaming down his face,
24:00his voice savage and broken.
24:06You only had your happy life because Debra adopted you, and Haley used her own allowance to pay for
24:17your tuition. Kendra's face turns a deep purple as she struggles to breathe. She flashes a grin at Nolan,
24:24every word twisting the knife in his heart. You judging me? You're just as guilty as me.
24:33And this time, you killed your own child with your own hands.
24:37Nolan's sanity is completely replaced by rage. He releases his grip, letting Kendra slam hard onto the
24:44ice floor. Kendra winces in pain, but before she can react, a searing agony rips through her abdomen.
24:52Nolan watches her in pain with indifference, his expression manic.
24:56Pay with your life!
24:58Blood gushes from Kendra's lower body, her face turning extremely pale.
25:03Nolan deadbolts the door and calls the police.
25:09I want to report a crime. Two, actually. One for sexual assault and attempted murder. The other for fraud.
25:16Kendra has taken a massive amount of money from him over the years.
25:19Her jewelry, her high-end designer dresses, all meant for Haley in the beginning.
25:25After the police file the case, his assistant finally arrives, panting for Brad.
25:30He's clutching a stack of documents.
25:33Nolan, we found Haley and Deborah on 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 is abandoning him for real this time.
25:44He tells his assistant to book the earliest flight possible. He is going to Switzerland.
25:49He is coming to get me back. He wants to tell me that he never loved Kendra at all.
25:53That he will only ever love one soul his entire life. And that is me.
25:58Once we arrive in Switzerland, my mom hires the best caregivers to look after me.
26:01That ungrateful, backstabbing bitch.
26:04During my recovery, my mom keeps cursing Nolan and Kendra non-stop. She doesn't contact Nolan's parents.
26:11Instead, she calls the shared family lawyer to notify Nolan's father that if Nolan comes anywhere
26:16near me again, she will take him to court. Mrs. Hart calls me one day. She says she never
26:22imagined Nolan would do such things to me. I never imagined he could do something like this.
26:27I can't find any word to respond to her apologetic words. He's already hurt me too much.
26:33Nolan's betrayal, killing my baby, the way he toyed with my feelings, all of these are real.
26:39These wounds are too deep to ever heal. Seeing my distress, my mom takes the phone away.
26:44She pulls me into her arms, her voice trembling. How much pain have you been through all by yourself?
26:50Two weeks later, Nolan finds me anyway. It's snowing in Switzerland. He stands outside the courtyard,
26:57his shoulders covered in white, his face and nose frozen in bright, raw red. Without even looking at
27:03him, I slam the door. I've got nothing to do with him. His eyes become puffy as he rushes forward,
27:10pounding on the door. Haley, please listen to me. Those photos and recordings were all fake.
27:15I never cheated with Kendra. I only saw her as a sister.
27:18I was already in a terrible mood, but his pathetic excuses actually make me laugh.
27:23My mom just woke up. She rubs her eyes and walks over. The moment she hears Nolan's voice,
27:28her eyes are filled with pure loathing. He has the nerve to show up?
27:32My mom fills a basin with water. Then she opens the window and douses Nolan with perfect precision.
27:38Nolan gets soaked to the bone. His hair clings to his face in wet clumps. He crouches down,
27:42clutching his head, his voice trembling and force.
27:45Please, just let me say something to Haley.
27:49My mom slams the window shut and yanks the curtains closed.
27:52Haley has nothing to do with you anymore.
27:55Nolan lowers his head, his back slumping. It was freezing in Switzerland. He can only crouch
28:00outside the door, shivering violently. Inside, we have the heater warming up the room while watching
28:05Netflix. Nolan's voice drifts in every now and then.
28:08Haley, please forgive me. Give me a chance. I'll change, okay? I'll stay away from every other woman.
28:16I'll make you feel safe.
28:17My mom rolls her eyes every time he speaks. She even starts recording a video and sends it to Mrs.
28:22Hart, telling her to come and get her son. Even if Nolan froze to death on our doorstep,
28:27she wouldn't call an ambulance to collect his body. I curl up on the sofa, feeling a bit emotional.
28:31For five years, how many times have I forgiven him? When I was being followed after work,
28:36I called him for help, but he was at the movies with Kendra. When we fought and I lost my
28:40temper,
28:40doubting his love for me, he responded with silence and stormed out. Five years of compromising,
28:45I've given him more than enough chances. He never treated me seriously. There is no love in me for
28:50him anymore. I'm leaving for good. He has no right to ask me back.
