Short filmTranscript
00:00Liam Horton married me twice. The first time, I was his wife. The second time, I was his hostage.
00:06He threatened my parents with a bomb. I said yes. He moved Eleanor Sheridan and their son Theo into
00:12my home. My daughter Clary asked me why daddy never came to her room. I couldn't find the words.
00:17At the same time, Eleanor's son got sick. Liam didn't investigate, blamed it on my jealousy.
00:22He locked me in the chapel for two days and two nights. The cold chapel stole my consciousness.
00:27And the last of my feelings for Liam. When I woke again, I found myself lying in my bedroom.
00:31The room was warm, and a thick wool blanket covered my body, and four-needle was inserted
00:35into the back of my hand, while a half-empty four-bag hung beside the bed. Liam sat next
00:39to me, gripping my hand tightly. His sharply defined face showed clear signs of exhaustion
00:43and worry. Chrissy, you're finally awake. How do you feel? Is anything bothering you?
00:50I turned my head away, making it clear I didn't want to speak to him or even look at him.
00:55Chrissy, are you blaming me? His voice was slightly hoarse.
00:59This is on me. I've been busy taking care of the baby these past few days, so I didn't
01:04get to you. You still matter to me. I had someone watching over you in secret, and I specifically
01:08told him to report everything to me immediately, no matter how big or small.
01:12I didn't expect that useless idiot to slack off. You even frant, and he didn't notice.
01:23He was still lying. Everything about taking care of the baby and arranging for someone to
01:28watch me was nothing but an excuse. He hadn't changed at all. I lowered my gaze, hiding the
01:33exhaustion in my eyes.
01:34Where's Clary?
01:35That was the only thing I said after waking up.
01:40Liam's expression darkened immediately, and a trace of dissatisfaction laced his voice.
01:45Chrissy, I stayed by your side for two days and two nights, and the moment you wake up
01:49you won't even look at me. All you care about is the child. You don't care about me at all.
01:56I let out a soft laugh, then looked at him calmly, my eyes completely devoid of love.
02:01I was in the chapel for two days and two nights, and you didn't come to see me either.
02:06Clary came. I haven't seen her in over a year, yet the moment she returned, she came straight
02:10to me. Liam, what makes you think you can compare to her?
02:16Liam's face darkened with suppressed anger. Although he was on the verge of losing control,
02:21he knew he was in the wrong. He forced himself to look away and spoke in a cold tone.
02:29My mother took Clary back with her. Tomorrow is your birthday, and I'll bring her over then.
02:35Everyone in the house is busy taking care of Theo right now, so no one has time for Clary.
02:40She'll be better taken care of there. I found it almost laughable. Eleanor could
02:43keep her child by her side, yet I couldn't even see my own daughter. Between the two of us,
02:47it was hard to tell who was the wife and who was the mistress. There was no point in saying
02:51anything more. I closed my eyes, too exhausted to argue.
03:05I didn't respond at all, as if I were nothing more than an empty shell. A restless anger
03:10rose in Liam's chest. He hated seeing me like this because it felt as though he had completely
03:16disappeared from my world. Chrissy. I closed my eyes and refused to think
03:23about anything anymore. I only wanted to get through. This final day and leave him forever.
03:30Mr. Horton! Mr. Theodore just threw up again. Please come take a look.
03:36Liam had no choice but to stand.
03:38Chrissy, get some rest. I'll go check on him.
03:40With that, he hurried out. He never came back that night. I was already used to it.
03:45I turned off the lights and went to sleep, no longer waiting through the night like I used to.
03:49That evening, a maid entered carrying a steaming mug of chicken broth.
03:53Mrs. Horton. Mr. Horton had this prepared for you. Please drink some to warm up.
03:58After being unconscious for two days and two nights, I was indeed hungry. I picked up the mug and took
04:03a
04:03small sip. The moment the liquid touched my tongue, I realized something was wrong. This wasn't chicken
04:08broth. I frowned, then used a spoon to scoop from the bottom of the mug. I lifted out a strangely
04:13shaped piece of meat. Christina, do you taste it? Eleanor's voice suddenly came from the doorway.
04:18She leaned against the frame, smiling faintly. Your precious Clary is in that mug.
04:25It felt as if something had exploded in my mind, making everything inside me shatter into pieces.
04:30A scream tore out of my throat, sharp and distorted, almost inhuman. I hurled the mug at
04:35Eleanor and lunged at her like a lunatic. Eleanor Cherubin, you monster! What did you do to Clary?
04:42Murderer! I'll make you pay for this with your love!
04:45I grabbed Eleanor by the throat and struck her wildly. My eyes were bloodshot,
04:48and my sanity collapsed, leaving behind nothing but raw hatred and madness.
04:53Eleanor struggled to breathe, yet a strange, triumphant smile flickered across her face.
04:57She didn't fight back and only weakly clawed at my hands,
05:00putting on a helpless act as tears streamed down her cheeks.
05:03Chrissy, let go. I can't breathe.
05:06Right on cue, Liam appeared in the doorway.
05:09Christina Yates? What are you doing? Let go of her!
05:13He pulled me away with one hand, then stepped forward to shield Eleanor,
05:16who had collapsed to the ground, coughing.
05:18What's wrong with you? Ellie made you broth out of kindness. Why would you treat her like this?
05:23His protectiveness toward her was as clear as day.
05:26She killed Clary!
05:29My voice was breaking and soaked in despair.
05:32The broth she made me drink was made from my daughter!
05:36The accusation was so horrifying that Liam froze. He turned to Eleanor in disbelief.
05:40Is that true?
05:42I didn't.
05:44Eleanor cried, tears streaming down her face.
05:46It's just chicken broth!
05:48Chrissy, are you losing your mind? I'm a mother too!
05:52How could I possibly be something as horrifying as cooking your daughter and feeding her to you?
05:57Claire is perfectly fine. She's at the Hortons' Manor with Madam Horton.
06:01If you don't believe me, we can call right now and have her brought over.
06:04Without any hesitation, Liam immediately ordered someone to bring Clarissa back from the Hortons' Manor.
06:08Half an hour later, his men returned with her.
06:10Mommy!
06:11Clarissa cried as she ran straight into my arms.
06:14I froze in place. Clarissa was alive, so what had been in that mug?
06:18Realization struck me instantly, and I looked up at Eleanor.
06:20Eleanor stood behind Liam, her lips curling into a smug, satisfied smile.
06:24At that moment, I understood everything. This had been a setup from the very beginning.
06:28Eleanor had deliberately lied to provoke me, just so I would lose control in front of Liam.
06:34Christina, do you see it now?
06:36Liam's voice was ice cold.
06:38Clary is standing right here, perfectly fine. What else do you have to say?
06:42I closed my eyes. I had lost, and there was nothing left to say.
06:46Eleanor crossed her arms and wiped her tears.
06:48Looking wronged, a long gash marked her arm.
06:50Which had been caused earlier when I lost control and cut her with a shard of porcelain.
06:54That injury, combined with her pitiful expression, erased the last trace of warmth in Liam's eyes and replaced it with
06:59cold, violent fury.
07:01Christina Yates, you actually made up something as insane as her cooking your daughter alive just to drive Ellie away?
07:06You've beaten her into this state, so even I can't defend you anymore.
07:09Guards, slap her a hundred times!
07:11From now on, think carefully before you speak, and make sure you know what you can and cannot say.
07:16As soon as he finished speaking, his men stepped forward, forced me to the ground, and began striking my face.
07:22After only two blows, blood seeped from the corner of my mouth.
07:28Mommy, don't hit mommy!
07:30Clarissa cried as she rushed forward.
07:32One of the men swung his arm without hesitation and struck Clarissa across the head.
07:36Her small body was sent flying before crashing to the ground, blood instantly seeping from her head.
07:41Clary!
07:42I struggled desperately to get up and reach my daughter, but Liam's men pinned me down so tightly that I
07:46couldn't move at all.
07:48Liam simply watched coldly.
07:50Keep going.
07:52Make sure she learns her lesson.
07:55The blows continued one after another, by the time it stopped.
07:58My face was already a bloody mess, and I couldn't even speak.
08:01Only then did Liam seem satisfied.
08:04You and Claire can stay in your room and reflect.
08:06I'll take Ellie to the hospital.
08:08With that, he left while protecting Eleanor.
08:10I crawled toward my daughter.
08:15Clary, how are you?
08:17Wake up.
08:19Don't scare me.
08:22The small body in my arms didn't move, didn't cry, and had no warmth at all.
08:26Blood slowly flowed from the wound on her head.
08:28I froze as my trembling hand reached for my daughter's pulse.
08:32There was no heartbeat.
08:34My daughter was dead.
08:37My phone suddenly rang.
08:41Chrissy, I've already sent your parents abroad and arranged new identities for them.
08:44They're safe now.
08:45Your visa is ready, too.
08:47I picked it up from the post office and I'm outside your house right now.
08:50Are you coming with me?
08:51I didn't say a word.
08:53I held my daughter and walked toward the door.
08:56Outside, a black Rolls Royce was parked on the dark asphalt road.
09:00I got into the car with my daughter in my arms, then gently kissed her cold little face as tears
09:04streamed down uncontrollably.
09:06One year ago, I agreed to remarry him.
09:12Less than a year after our divorce, Liam came crawling back.
09:15He begged me to remarry him.
09:17When I refused, he had my parents abducted and strapped with explosives.
09:20Chrissy, I love you.
09:22Don't push me to the point where I have to hurt you.
09:2630 seconds.
09:27If you still won't say yes, I'll kill your parents and then I'll die with you.
09:31Unwilling to drag my parents down with me, I could only agree.
09:34After we remarried, Liam changed profoundly, on our first Valentine's Day back together.
09:39He spent a fortune showering Los Angeles in rose petals.
09:42Swept up in this whirlwind of romance, I nearly believed he had truly changed.
09:46Then, one day I went to the hospital to visit my father.
09:49I saw Liam and a doctor pushing a gurney out.
09:51The person lying on it was Eleanor Sheridan, his childhood sweetheart.
09:55Eleanor cradled a newborn in her arms.
09:57Liam, look at our son.
09:59He's so cute.
10:00Liam wrapped his arms around her gently as if she were something precious.
10:04Thank you for everything.
10:06I froze where I stood.
10:08His friends showered him with well wishes.
10:11Liam, congratulations.
10:13Your wife is truly amazing.
10:15You've got a healthy baby boy now.
10:17Liam's expression turned cold.
10:19Watch your words.
10:22My wife is Chrissy.
10:24That's exact why I can't find out.
10:26If this gets out, I will make you pay.
10:29At that moment, I pushed the door open and walked in.
10:32Liam quickly let go of Eleanor.
10:35Chrissy, what are you doing here?
10:39I smiled.
10:40I came to congratulate you on your son.
10:43Chrissy, you've misunderstood.
10:44I didn't cheat on you.
10:46Eleanor got pregnant before we remarried.
10:47I tried to force her to terminate it, but she refused.
10:50I had no choice but to hide her away.
10:51Chrissy, you have to believe me.
10:52I did have feelings for her before, but I don't anymore.
10:55You're the one I love.
10:55You're the only person I'll ever love in this lifetime.
10:58I walked up to and slapped her.
11:00Eleanor's tears streamed down.
11:03Chrissy, I know you hate me, but the baby is innocent.
11:09Please, don't force Liam to cut ties with me.
11:12I just want my child to grow up with a father.
11:15I raised my hand again, ready to strike a second time.
11:18Liam seized my wrist meter.
11:19Chrissy, that's enough.
11:21Ellie's just gave birth.
11:22I glanced at him coldly.
11:24Didn't you just say you have no feelings for her now?
