00:00I lay on the delivery bed
00:02The contractions were coming faster now
00:04One after another
00:05My husband, Adrian Lang, held my hand
00:08His eyes soft with concern
00:10Hang in there Serena
00:12We'll meet our baby soon
00:13I was trembling from the pain
00:16But I still forced a smile
00:17Then a nurse walked in with a syringe
00:19I thought it was the epidural
00:21But Adrian let go of my hand and stepped back
00:24Get the dose right
00:26The needle pierced my skin
00:27Make sure she doesn't deliver before Vanessa
00:30My eyes flew open
00:32I stared at him in shock
00:33He glanced at his watch
00:34Vanessa's already 6 centimeters dilated
00:37Buy us 2 more hours
00:40I wanted to scream
00:41I wanted to fight back
00:43But the drug was already in my system
00:45The contractions suddenly weakened
00:47As if something inside me had been forced still
00:49They moved me to a temporary room in the basement
00:51Adrian's sister, Chloe Lang
00:54Stood in the doorway
00:55Idly turning a scalpel in her hand
00:57Don't blame Adrian, Serena
00:59The baby Vanessa is carrying is my brother's only child
01:02It's a boy
01:04And he'll be the Lang family's first grandson
01:07Her gaze dropped to my stomach
01:09So what if you go into labor first?
01:12You're only carrying a girl
01:13I covered my belly with both hands
01:15Another wave of pain broke through the medication
01:18And my vision blurred
01:19Call a doctor
01:20I'm about to give birth, please
01:22Chloe laughed
01:23She walked over and crouched in front of me
01:26Then tapped my cheek lightly with the scalpel
01:28Give birth?
01:29That drug will keep working for another 3 hours
01:32Vanessa is already in the delivery room
01:34So stay here and wait
01:35After her baby is born safely, you can have yours
01:38She rose to her feet and looked at the bodyguard outside
01:41Keep an eye on her
01:42If she dares to scream, gag her
01:44The door slammed shut
01:46The basement was lit by a single dim emergency light
01:48I lay on the floor as blood slowly spread beneath me
01:51Adrian had taken my phone the moment we arrived at the hospital
01:54He said radiation wasn't good for the baby
01:57Now I understood
01:58He was afraid I'd call someone
02:00I curled up and tried to breathe through the pain
02:02But all I could see was Adrian's face
02:04Cold, calm, like I meant nothing to him
02:07Not his wife
02:08Not the woman carrying his child
02:10Three months ago, his older brother died in a car accident
02:14He left behind his pregnant wife, Vanessa
02:17At the funeral, old Mr. Lang held Vanessa's hand
02:20Tears streaming down his face
02:21That child has to be born safe
02:23The Lang family can't lose its seer
02:26Back then, I even felt sorry for her
02:28I stepped forward and said
02:30Dad, don't worry
02:30Adrian and I will raise our baby well too
02:33He looked at me and said nothing
02:35Only now did I understand
02:36He had already given up on my child
02:38Another contraction tore through me
02:40This one was stronger
02:41The drug was wearing off
02:43The baby was coming
02:44I crawled to the door and pounded on it with all the strength I had left
02:47Someone, please
02:49I'm about to give birth
02:51Please save my baby
02:53No one answered
02:54I kept screaming until my throat turned raw
02:56What the hell are you yelling for?
02:58Miss Lang told you to wait, so wait
03:01But my baby
03:02That's your bad luck
03:03Then he spat out one last cruel sentence
03:05That's what you get for carrying a girl
03:07My whole body went cold
03:09I collapsed onto the floor
03:11This wasn't fate
03:12They were trying to kill my baby
03:14I had no idea how long I had been trapped in that basement
03:17The bleeding only got worse
03:18Everything beneath me was soaked with blood
03:21Just as the edges of my vision began to blur
03:23The door swung open
03:24It was not Chloe
03:25It was the Lang family's doctor, Carter
03:28The second he saw me, all the color drained from his face
03:32Serena?
03:33What are you doing down here?
03:35Adrian told me you were resting in one of the VIP rooms
03:37I tried to answer
03:39Nothing came out
03:41Tears spilled down my face as I lifted a trembling hand to my stomach
03:44Carter rushed over and dropped to his knees beside me
03:47Oh god
03:48The baby's crowning
03:50Your water already broke
03:52I need to get you into surgery right now
03:54He reached down to lift me
03:56But the second my body shifted
03:57A hot gush poured between my legs
03:59Blood
04:00So much blood
04:01Carter's hands started shaking
04:04He turned toward the doorway and shouted
04:07I need help in here!
04:08She's bleeding heavily!
04:10But the hallway outside was empty
04:12This private hospital belonged to the Lang family
04:14Tonight, the entire building had been cleared for Vanessa's delivery
04:18All the doctors and nurses were upstairs
04:21Gathered outside her delivery suite
04:23Carter yanked out his phone and tried to call for help
04:26But there was no signal in the basement
04:29I'm taking you upstairs
04:30Stay with me
04:33Then he bent down
04:34Gathered me into his arms
04:36And ran
04:37Or tried to
04:38The stairwell felt endless
04:40Every step sent a brutal jolt through my body
04:42The pain was so intense I thought I might black out at any second
04:45I could feel the baby dropping lower and lower
04:48But she still would not come
04:50The drug was still in my system
04:52My contractions were weak and uneven
04:54That was the worst part
04:56I clutched at his coat
04:57Doctor
04:59If it comes down to it
05:00Save my baby
05:03Don't say that
05:04You're both going to make it
05:05At last
05:06He reached the first floor and rushed toward the operating room
05:09But the moment we got there
05:10Both of us froze
05:11The oar doors were wide open
05:13Inside
05:14There was nothing
05:15Carter stood there in stunned disbelief
05:18A strangled sound died in his throat
05:20How is this possible?
05:22I checked everything myself this afternoon
05:24Footsteps echoed down the hall
05:26Chloe approached with two nurses behind her
05:28The moment she saw us
05:30One brow lifted
05:31Carter?
05:32What are you doing down here?
05:35Vanessa is upstairs in the delivery room
05:37Why come all the way down here?
05:38Carter pointed at the empty operating room
05:41Where is the equipment?
05:43Who cleared out this room?
05:46Chloe looked at him with wide, innocent eyes
05:48We moved everything upstairs
05:51Vanessa's having a C-section
05:52So of course she gets priority
05:54If anything happens during surgery
05:56She'll need all the equipment close at hand
05:58We couldn't risk leaving her in a standard OR
06:00As she said it
06:01Her gaze shifted to me
06:03Then she smiled
06:04Oh
06:05Serena you're in labor?
06:06I'm afraid you'll have to wait
06:08Vanessa comes first
06:09So you'll just have to hold on a little longer
06:11I stared at her beautiful, smiling face
06:14Suddenly
06:15I remembered something she had said to me six months ago
06:18Back then
06:19We were out shopping together
06:20She had slipped her arm through mine
06:22And smiled up at me sweetly
06:23You're so good to me Serena
06:25Better than any real sister
06:27That day alone
06:28I spent over $100,000 on designer bags for her
06:31Looking back now
06:32I was a fool
06:33Carter rushed into the nurse's station like a man possessed
06:37He tore through every cabinet
06:38Searching for emergency supplies
06:40There was nothing
06:41The shelves were empty
06:43No clamps
06:44No gauze
06:45Not even basic medication
06:46Where are the drugs?
06:48He shouted
06:48The meds to stop the bleeding
06:50The ones to induce stronger contractions
06:53A nurse lowered her head
06:56They were all taken to the third floor
06:58What do you mean?
07:00Carter froze
07:00Her voice dropped even lower
07:02Mr. Lang ordered that everything we prioritized for Miss Vanessa
07:06Carter slammed his fist against the cabinet
07:08Then he turned to look at me
07:10His eyes were red
07:11His lips trembled
07:12I'm sorry Serena
07:13I'm so sorry
07:15There's nothing I can do
07:16Chloe walked over and lightly patted his shoulder
07:19Carter, don't worry
07:20Vanessa hasn't delivered yet
07:23Once she's done
07:24They'll move the equipment back downstairs
07:28Besides
07:28Even if the baby comes now
07:30So what?
07:31It's only a girl
07:32If she dies
07:34She dies
07:36The Lang family won't care about one little girl
07:38I stared at her
07:40At the girl I had loved like my own little sister for three years
07:43Then
07:44With every ounce of strength I had left
07:45I forced out two words
07:48You bastard
07:49Chloe's expression darkened at once
07:51She bent down and leaned close to my ear
07:53Go ahead
07:54Curse all you want
07:56Her voice barely above a whisper
07:58Once you give birth
07:59You'll be too weak to fight back
08:01I'll make sure you stay quiet
08:03By then Vanessa will take your place
08:06As for you
08:08If my brother is feeling merciful
08:10Maybe he'll let you live
08:12You can stay in the house
08:14As a servant
08:15Carter could not hold back anymore
08:17Miss Lang
08:18This is murder
08:18Murder?
08:20Chloe gave a cold little laugh
08:22Watch what you say Carter
08:23Women die in childbirth every day
08:26That's hardly unusual
08:27Besides
08:28This is a family matter
08:30You're an outsider
08:31This is none of your business
08:32Then she motioned to the bodyguards
08:34Take Carter away
08:35Leave Serena to me
08:37Two bodyguards stepped forward immediately
08:39They grabbed Carter by the arms
08:41And dragged him toward the door
08:42He struggled against them
08:44And shouted back at me
08:46Serena listen to me
08:47Try to keep the contractions going
08:49Press your acuportals
08:51Stay awake
08:52Don't give up
08:53Your baby still has a chance
08:55His voice grew fainter and fainter
08:57Then Chloe shut the door
08:58And turned back to me
08:59She pulled a phone from her pocket
09:01And started a video call
09:02She said sweetly
09:03Adrian
09:04Serena's about to give birth
09:06Do you want to take a look?
09:07A second later
09:08Adrian's face appeared on the screen
09:10He was standing outside a delivery room
09:13Doctors and nurses moved quickly behind him
09:15Chloe stop messing around
09:17Chloe tilted the phone toward me
09:19Look at Serena
09:20She's bleeding a lot
09:21Do you think she's about to die?
09:23Adrian looked at the screen
09:24He frowned for a second
09:25Then he looked away
09:27She can wait
09:28Once Vanessa delivers
09:29The doctors can go downstairs
09:30I can't leave right now
09:32The call ended
09:33Chloe put her phone away and shrugged
09:35You heard him
09:36To Adrian
09:37Vanessa comes first
09:39As for you
09:40You are nothing more than a womb
09:43Now that you're no longer useful
09:44I closed my eyes
09:46I refused to look at her again
09:48Slowly
09:49I slid one hand behind my back
09:51And felt along the inner lining of my dress
09:53It was still there
09:54A tiny device
09:55No bigger than a button
09:57My father had given it to me
09:59I could still hear his voice from that day
10:01The Lange family is dangerous
10:03If anything ever happens to you
10:05Press this
10:06Press this
10:06Back then
10:07I laughed and told him he was worrying too much
10:10Adrian is good to me
10:12So is everyone in the Lange family
10:14Now I understood how foolish I had been
10:16I hooked a fingernail under the protective cover
10:19Pried it open
10:20Then pressed the button
10:22There was no sound
10:23No light
10:24But I knew the signal had gone out
10:27My father once told me that if I ever used it
10:29Someone would get to me within 30 minutes
10:31But 30 minutes
10:32Could my baby make it that long?
10:34My vision was fading
10:36Chloe sat in a chair
10:37Scrolling through her phone
10:39Every now and then
10:40She looked up at me
10:41Like I was some kind of lab rat
10:44Serena
10:45Why did you marry Adrian for his looks?
10:47For the Lange family's money?
10:49You came from nothing
10:51What made you think you belonged here?
10:53I said nothing
10:54I clenched my teeth and held on
10:57Even if there was barely any hope left
10:59Chloe kept talking
11:01If you hadn't gotten pregnant so fast
11:03Adrian would never have married you
11:05At first everyone thought you might still be useful
11:08If you gave birth to a son
11:10But the scan showed it was a girl
11:13Father was furious
11:14She smiled
11:15Good thing Vanessa is carrying a boy
11:17Otherwise the Lange family would have no heir
11:20She stood up and nudged my leg with her shoe
11:23So learn your place
11:24If something was never yours
11:26Don't fight for it
11:28Once Vanessa gives birth
11:29You'll sign the divorce papers
11:31Take the money
11:32And disappear
11:33After that you can marry some ordinary guy
11:35And live an ordinary life
11:37I forced my eyes open and looked at her
11:39Does Adrian know you're saying this to me?
11:42Chloe laughed
11:43Of course he does
11:45He's the one who told me to come
11:47He said you were stubborn
11:48So he asked me to talk sense into you
11:51My lips moved
11:52I wanted to laugh
11:53But I couldn't
11:54Another wave of pain hit me
11:56Harder than before
11:57Much harder
11:58The medication had completely worn off
12:00The baby was coming
12:01I cried out
12:02Chloe took a step back
12:04What a nuisance
12:05Her face was full of disgust
12:07She opened the door
12:08Someone get in here
12:10See if she's delivering
12:11A nurse rushed in
12:12One look at me
12:13And her face went pale
12:15She's fully dilated
12:16I can already see the baby's head
12:18But she's losing too much blood
12:19She has to deliver now
12:21Chloe frowned
12:24There's no equipment here
12:26No medication either
12:28If she delivers like this
12:30Both of them could die
12:32They're probably not making it anyway
12:33So what does it matter?
12:35Then she turned and walked out
12:37She went to find Adrian
12:38She didn't care whether I lived or died
12:40The nurse didn't say anything else
12:43She crouched beside me and tried to help
12:45But I was too weak to push
12:47I had lost too much blood
12:49I had no strength left
12:51The baby was stuck
12:52Time dragged on
12:54Every second felt endless
12:55Then I heard footsteps outside
12:57Fast
12:58Heavy
12:59A lot of them
13:00Boots pounded against the floor
13:01The nurse froze
13:03The door flew open
13:04Who's there?
13:05A group of men in black tactical gear rushed in
13:08All of them were armed
13:09The man in front took off his helmet
13:11His face was sharp and cold
13:12The moment he saw me
13:14His eyes turned red
13:15Miss!
13:16I opened my mouth
13:17But no sound came out
13:19I could only reach for him
13:20The nurse screamed
13:21Who are you?
13:23How did you get in here?
13:24Security!
13:25He didn't even look at her
13:27He rushed to my side
13:28Dropped to one knee
13:29Miss, I'm sorry
13:31I got here too late
13:34Then he lifted me into his arms
13:36Clear the room
13:37Get the medics in here
13:38Now!
13:39Yes, sir!
13:41The men moved at once
13:42The nurse tried to run
13:44One of them threw her to the floor
13:46She struggled and screamed
13:47How dare you touch me!
13:50This is the Lange family's hospital!
13:52He turned and looked at her
13:54His eyes were ice cold
13:55The Lange family?
13:57They're finished
13:58I was carried into a custom built medical van
14:01The inside was fully equipped
14:03It looked like a mobile operating room
14:05Doctors and nurses were already waiting
14:07They rushed to save me the second I was brought in
14:10Blood pressure is 60 over 40
14:12She's in hemorrhagic shock
14:16The baby is in distress
14:18We need a c-section now
14:19But the mother is too unstable
14:21The surgery is extremely risky
14:22Do it!
14:23If anything goes wrong, it's on me!
14:25I grabbed his hand with the last of my strength
14:27Save the baby
14:29Please save the baby first
14:31He held my hand tightly
14:33Miss, don't talk
14:34Save your strength
14:36Your father is on his way
14:37He'll be here soon
14:40You and the baby will be okay
14:44You have to be
14:46She's flatlining!
14:47Move!
14:48Get the defibrillator!
14:49The fetal heart rate is dropping!
14:52Prep for c-section!
14:53Now!
14:54They strapped me down fast
14:56An anesthesia mask came over my face
14:58Right before I lost consciousness
15:00I heard a doctor shout
15:02We're out of time!
15:04The baby!
15:05There's no heartbeat!
15:07Darkness
15:08Endless darkness
15:09I didn't know how much time had passed
15:12When I opened my eyes
15:13All I saw was a ceiling I didn't recognize
15:16The air smelled of disinfectant
15:19She's awake!
15:20Several faces leaned in
15:21They were all familiar
15:23My father's bodyguards
15:24The men who had watched me grow up
15:26The baby
15:27My voice was so hoarse it barely sounded like mine
15:31The room went silent
15:32A few seconds later
15:34The man standing at the foot of my bed slowly turned around
15:37It was my father
15:38He was in his fifties
15:40But in just one night
15:41His hair had turned completely white
15:43He walked over
15:44Sat beside me
15:46And took my hand
15:47He only said my name
15:49Then his voice broke
15:51I looked into his bloodshot eyes
15:53I already knew the answer
15:55The baby's gone, isn't she?
15:57My father nodded
15:58Tears fell from his eyes
16:00You lost too much blood
16:02The placenta detached too early
16:04The baby was deprived of oxygen for too long
16:07The doctors did everything they could
16:09I closed my eyes
16:11I didn't cry
16:12I didn't scream
16:13It just felt like something inside me had been hollowed out
16:16That little life
16:18The one who had lived inside me for nine months
16:20The one who kicked at me every day
16:22The one I whispered to when no one was around
16:25Gone
16:26Where's Adrian?
16:27My father wiped away his tears
16:29His expression turned cold
16:31She gave birth
16:33It's a boy
16:34The whole Lang family is celebrating
16:37No one even remembered you
16:39I laughed
16:40My whole body trembled with it
16:42Good
16:44Good for them
16:45My father tightened his grip on my hand
16:48Serena, come home with me
16:49That family doesn't deserve you
16:51And neither does he
16:52I opened my eyes and looked at him
16:55Dad, I want to do something
16:58Tell me
16:58Make me a fake body
17:00It has to look exactly like me
17:02It has to look like I just gave birth and died from blood loss
17:05My father froze
17:07You want them to think you're dead?
17:09I held his gaze
17:10Yes
17:11I want them to believe I'm gone
17:13Then I want to watch them
17:15I want to see how happy they are
17:18How they celebrate that child
17:20While I'm lying there dead
17:22My father was silent for a long time
17:25Then he nodded
17:26Okay
17:26I'll help you
17:27The fake body looked real
17:30Silicone skin
17:31Blood bags beneath it
17:32Even simulated body heat
17:34Inside the morgue drawer
17:36It looked no different from a real corpse
17:38I sat in the surveillance room
17:39Watching the monitors
17:40My father sat beside me
17:42His hand wrapped tightly around mine
17:44Do you regret it?
17:46Regret what?
17:48Marrying him
17:48I thought about it for a moment
17:51Then I shook my head
17:52No
17:54At least now I can see people for what they really are
17:56On the screen
17:57Adrian finally stepped out of the delivery room
18:00He was holding a baby in his arms
18:02His face lit up with joy
18:04The joy of becoming a father
18:05Vanessa was wheeled out after him
18:07She looked pale
18:08But her smile was bright
18:10His father leaned on his cane
18:11And slowly made his way forward
18:13The moment he saw the baby
18:14His eyes filled with tears
18:16My grandson
18:17At last I have a grandson
18:18The Lange family finally has an heir
18:21Everyone gathered around the baby
18:23Laughing
18:23Smiling
18:24Celebrating
18:25No one asked about me
18:27No one remembered that I had been fighting for my life
18:30Then a nurse spoke softly
18:33Adrian
18:34Your wife
18:35Only then did Adrian seem to remember
18:37He frowned
18:38What about her?
18:40There's still no word
18:41Carter is with her
18:42I'll go see
18:43He handed the baby to the maternity nurse
18:45And headed for the elevator
18:47Chloe hurried after him
18:49Adrian I'm coming too
18:50The two of them entered the elevator
18:52One after the other
18:53The screen switched to the first floor
18:56Carter stood outside an empty operating room
18:58His back was against the wall
19:00His face was deathly pale
19:02When he saw Adrian
19:03He immediately straightened up
19:05Adrian
19:05Where's my wife?
19:07Carter opened his mouth
19:09But no words came out
19:10He simply stepped aside
19:12And pointed toward the morgue
19:13Adrian's face changed
19:17What do you mean?
19:18Adrian
19:19Carter lowered his head
19:20She suffered a massive hemorrhage
19:22We couldn't save her
19:23The baby is gone too
19:25The air froze
19:26Adrian stood there quietly
19:27As if he couldn't comprehend it
19:29Chloe was the first to react
19:31That's impossible
19:33She was so healthy
19:34She was fine just a moment ago
19:37Carter let out a bitter laugh
19:38She was never fine
19:40She lost too much blood
19:42There was no equipment
19:43No medication
19:45I tried everything I could
19:47But
19:47He covered his face
19:48And sank into a crouch
19:49I'm sorry
19:51I really did everything I could
19:53Adrian grabbed him by the collar
19:55I'm sorry
19:57I really did everything I could
19:59Adrian grabbed him by the collar
20:02What did you just say?
20:04My wife is dead!
20:05Carter nodded
20:06Tears streamed down his face
20:08Adrian let go
20:09Then he staggered back two steps
20:11And slammed into the wall
20:12No
20:14That's impossible
20:15How could she?
20:17Chloe grabbed his arm
20:18Adrian don't panic
20:19I'll go check
20:21She hurried toward the morgue
20:23On the monitor
20:24She pulled open the cold drawer
20:25Inside lay the body
20:27The silicone face was still twisted
20:29In the agony of labor
20:30The white sheet beneath it was soaked with blood
20:32Chloe stared for a few seconds
20:34Then she suddenly covered her mouth
20:36And rushed back out
20:37Adrian
20:38It's true
20:39Adrian charged inside
20:41The camera caught him standing in front of the drawer
20:43Completely motionless
20:45He stood there so long that even Chloe got worried
20:48She stepped inside and reached for him
20:50Adrian
20:51Suddenly
20:52He raised his fist and slammed it hard against the wall
20:55Why?
20:56Why didn't anyone tell me sooner?
20:59Why didn't you wait for me to get here?
21:02Carter stood outside the door and said in a low voice
21:04The phone was off
21:07And phones weren't allowed in the delivery room
21:09Adrian spun around
21:10His eyes were bloodshot
21:12Then why didn't you come get me?
21:14It was only from the third floor to the first
21:16Don't tell me you didn't have time
21:18You just stood by and let her die?
21:20Carter said nothing
21:21He only lowered his head
21:23His shoulders trembled
21:26Adrian
21:26Don't blame Carter
21:27I was the one who told him not to come up
21:30Vanessa was in critical condition
21:32I couldn't risk anything interfering with the delivery
21:36The crack rang through the room
21:38Chloe's head snapped to the side
21:40You hit me?
21:41You were the one who had her locked in that basement
21:45Chloe's eyes darted away
21:48I only told her to
21:49Wait my ass!
21:50Adrian roared
21:51She was my wife
21:53And that was my child!
21:55I told you to look after her
21:57Is this your idea of looking after her?
21:59Chloe burst into tears
22:01I did it for the Lange family
22:03Vanessa gave birth to a son
22:05She was carrying a girl
22:06You know which one matters more!
22:09Father said
22:10A boy is the heir
22:11Those words seemed to cut straight through him
22:14Adrian froze
22:15The fury slowly drained from his face
22:17What replaced it was a hollow numbness
22:20Here?
22:21So her life meant nothing?
22:23No one answered
22:23The only sounds in the morgue were the hum of the cooling system and muffled sobs
22:27Adrian had my body brought back home
22:29He did not take it into the main house
22:31Instead, he had it placed in the family chapel in the side courtyard
22:35Vanessa and the baby settled into the master bedroom
22:38The maternity nurse and the maid stayed close
22:41Fussing over them
22:42His father gave the order
22:44Keep the funeral small
22:45Don't disturb the baby
22:47As for Serena
22:48Pick a day and have her cremated
22:50Still part of this family
22:52Make sure she's buried somewhere decent
22:54Adrian said nothing
22:56He only sat in the family chapel
22:59Keeping vigil beside the coffin
23:00For three days and three nights
23:03He neither ate nor drank
23:04Chloe came once to talk him into resting
23:07He threw her out
23:08Vanessa came once too
23:10The baby in her arms
23:11Her voice was soft and careful
23:13Adrian, you can't go on like this
23:16Serena wouldn't have wanted to see you destroying yourself
23:19Adrian looked up at her
23:20For a long time, he said nothing
23:23Then, at last
23:25Do you know what was on her mind when it happened?
23:28Vanessa froze
23:29I was in labor, I wouldn't know
23:30She kept asking why her husband wasn't there
23:34Why everyone in this house was waiting for you to give birth
23:38While no one gave a damn about her
23:40Vanessa's face went pale at once
23:42Adrian, what is that supposed to mean?
23:44I almost died in labor too
23:46The baby's heart rate dropped again and again
23:48Yes, you suffered
23:49But she died
23:50She died
23:51And so did her baby
23:54Did they really mean that little to all of you?
23:58Was it just because she wasn't carrying a son?
24:01Vanessa fell silent
24:03Her arms tightened around the child
24:05Adrian got to his feet and walked over to the coffin
24:08He laid a hand gently on the lid
24:11These past few days, I haven't been able to stop thinking
24:14If I'd stayed with her, would things have turned out differently?
24:17If I hadn't sent all the equipment to you, would she still be alive?
24:22His voice broke
24:25If I had just...
24:26He could not finish
24:27Vanessa bit down on her lip and turned away
24:30Just before she stepped out, she threw one last line over her shoulder
24:33Adrian, I'm the one who gave this family a son
24:37That dead woman is of no use to anyone now
24:40The doors of the family chapel shut
24:42Adrian leaned against the coffin and slowly slid down to the floor
24:45Covering his face with both hands
25:06Trouble hit the Lange business
25:07First, a long-time supplier cut them off
25:10The reason?
25:11Product quality failed to meet standards
25:13Adrian sent people to investigate
25:15The supplier refused to see them
25:18Then the banks pulled back
25:19A loan renewal that had already been discussed was suddenly denied
25:23The explanation was simple
25:25Failed risk review
25:26The cash flow tightened at once
25:28Then came the clients
25:30Several major orders were cancelled without warning
25:33Not long after, those same deals went to competitors
25:36In just one month, the Lange family lost 30% of its market value
25:40His father was so enraged that he ended up in the hospital
25:45Adrian spent every day running between the company and the hospital
25:48He was exhausted
25:49Vanessa held the baby and complained
25:52Why have you been out every day lately?
25:54Don't you care about the baby?
25:57My father's in the hospital
25:59And the company's in trouble
26:01How could I not be worried?
26:03She snapped
26:03We have more money than we could ever spend
26:08Adrian looked at her
26:09The look in his eyes turned strange
26:13Do you even know how our family got where it is today?
26:16My grandfather built it
26:18Then my father
26:20Then my brother
26:21Three generations gave everything they had for it
26:23It didn't just appear out of thin air
26:25Vanessa curled her lip
26:27That doesn't mean you get to ignore me and the baby
26:31He's not even a month old
26:32And you're gone every day
26:36Adrian slammed the door and left
26:37He went to the family chapel
26:39The coffin was still there
26:41They still had not chosen a burial site
26:44So I had not been buried
26:45He sat down beside the coffin and leaned against it
26:49Then he began to speak
26:52Serena if you were here
26:53You'd probably tell me not to panic
26:55To slow down
26:57Take it one step at a time
27:00You were always the calm sensible one
27:02He took out a cigarette and lit it
27:04Smoke rose around him
27:06His voice grew lower
27:08But now there's no one I can talk to
27:10Dad only ever talks to me when he's disappointed in me
27:14Vanessa only comes to me when she needs money
27:17You were the only one who never wanted anything from me
27:21You only ever wanted to help
27:22He took a drag
27:24Then he started coughing
27:25He coughed until his eyes turned red
27:28Tears came out with it
27:29I'm sorry
27:30I'm really sorry
27:31I never thought it would end like this
27:33If I had one more chance
27:36I would definitely
27:37His phone rang
27:39It was his assistant
27:40His voice was full of panic
27:43Mr. Lang
27:44Something's wrong
27:45Customs just seized one of our shipments
27:47They're saying there's contraband in it
27:49It's a big shipment
27:50They might press criminal parches
27:52Adrian shot to his feet
27:54Contraband?
27:55That's impossible
27:56We're a legitimate business
27:57It's true
27:58It's true
28:00The police are already here
28:02They want to question you
28:03Adrian hung up and rushed out of the family chapel
28:06He got in the car and drove straight to the company
28:08Then another call came in
28:10Unknown number
28:12He answered it
28:13A man's voice came through
28:14Cold
28:15Low
28:16Sharp
28:17Mr. Lang
28:18Did you like the gift?
28:21Adrian frowned
28:23Who is this?
28:24You don't need to know
28:26Just remember one thing
28:28This is only the beginning
28:30The Lang family will pay for what you owe
28:37The call ended
28:38Adrian called back at once
28:40The number was already dead
28:42His hands began to shake on the steering wheel
28:49The police investigation dragged on for two weeks
28:52In the end, the case was dropped
28:54Not enough evidence
28:56But the shipment was gone
28:58Confiscated
28:59The loss ran into the tens of millions
29:01The Lang family's name was ruined
29:03Partners started walking away
29:05One after another
29:07The stock crashed
29:08His father was so furious that he suffered a second stroke
29:11This time, he did not make it
29:13Before he died, he held onto Adrian's hand
29:16His voice was weak
29:18Save the Lang group
29:19The child
29:21The heir
29:21Then his hand went limp
29:23The funeral was simple
29:24Hardly anyone came
29:26And the few who did were there for the spectacle
29:29Vanessa stood in front of the memorial tablet with the baby in her arms
29:32She cried hard
29:33Maybe for the old man
29:35Maybe for herself
29:37Her protection was gone
29:38Adrian stayed expressionless through the entire funeral
29:41Only after it ended
29:43After everyone had left
29:44Did he speak
29:45You need to move out
29:47Vanessa stared at him
29:50What did you say?
29:54Take the child and leave the house
29:55I'll give you enough money to live on
29:57Vanessa's voice shot up at once
30:06Adrian gave a cold laugh
30:10Carry on the family line?
30:12With what?
30:15You want the family name?
30:17You can take the debt with it
30:19Vanessa took a step back
30:21So that's it?
30:22You're casting us aside?
30:24I'm not casting you aside
30:25I'm making sure you and the child are taken care of
30:28But this house stays
30:29I'm keeping it
30:31It holds my memories of Serena
30:34I'm not giving it to anyone
30:35Vanessa looked at him for a long moment
30:38Then she laughed
30:40Memories?
30:42Adrian, stop fooling yourself
30:45You never loved her
30:46You just can't get past the guilt
30:48She died tragically
30:50And it's been eating away at you ever since
30:53If she were still alive
30:54You would have dumped her long ago
30:56Adrian's face turned cold
30:58Shut up
31:01No
31:02You need to hear this
31:04Vanessa had stopped holding back
31:06You married her because she was easy
31:09She had no powerful family
31:11No one to stand up for her
31:12No one to fight you
31:15You once said that
31:16Once she had the baby
31:17You'd find a way to divorce her
31:20Now she's dead
31:21That solved the problem for you
31:23You should be thanking me
31:25You should thank my son for getting rid of him
31:31Smack
31:33Another slap
31:34Much harder than the last one
31:36Vanessa crashed to the floor
31:38The baby started wailing
31:39Adrian looked down at her
31:41His eyes were freezing
31:43Get out
31:44Right now
31:45And if I ever see you again
31:47Don't expect a cent from me
31:48Vanessa pushed herself up with the child in her arms
31:51She glared at him
31:53You'll regret this
31:54Then she left
31:56With the baby
31:57And the 50 million dollar check
31:59Adrian stood alone in the empty family chapel
32:02He looked at his father's portrait
32:04For the first time
32:06He felt it
32:07Real exhaustion
32:08It crushed him so hard
32:09He could not stay standing
32:11He dropped to his knees
32:12Dad
32:13I can't do this anymore
32:17The Lange family
32:18Is going to fall apart
32:19Because of me
32:20No one answered
32:21Only the wind moved through the hall
32:23The white funeral cloth fluttered
32:25And snapped in the draft
32:27I was sitting at the estate in Italy
32:29Watching the security feed
32:31My father came in
32:32And handed me a file
32:33The Lange group is worth 3 billion now
32:35It owes 5
32:36At this point it's days from collapse
32:39I took the file and flipped through it
32:41Sooner than I expected
32:43My father sat down and sighed
32:45Do you really want to see this through?
32:49What else would I do?
32:50Forgive him?
32:51My father shook his head
32:53He deserves everything that's coming
32:56I just don't want you getting stuck there again
32:58I closed the file and smiled a little
33:00Don't worry
33:01I was done the moment my baby died
33:04Now I'm just here to collect
33:06My father looked at me
33:07His expression unreadable
33:10You've changed
33:11You used to smile all the time
33:13Now it never reaches your eyes
33:15I got up and walked to the window
33:17The vineyard stretched out beyond the glass
33:22People grow up
33:24Some take years
33:27Some only need betrayal
33:29Or death
33:30My father said nothing
33:32He just stood there with me for a while
33:35Then he left
33:36My phone rang
33:38It was Adrian
33:39He actually still had the nerve to call me
33:42More precisely
33:43He was calling the number of someone who was supposed to be dead
33:46I picked up
33:47I said nothing
33:49His voice came through
33:50Rough and tired
33:51Serena I know you can't hear this
33:53But I still want to talk to you
33:55The Lang family is done
33:57Dad's gone
33:58Vanessa left
33:59Chloe turned on me too
34:01There's no one around me anymore
34:03Sometimes I think about it
34:04If I treated you better
34:07Maybe things would have gone differently
34:08If I hadn't wanted so much
34:10A son
34:10The family business
34:12Control over everything
34:13Maybe you'd still be alive
34:15He stopped
34:16When he spoke again
34:17His voice caught
34:18But none of that matters now
34:19You're gone
34:20Our child is gone
34:22That's on me
34:23I'll never make up for it
34:25So
34:25He took a deep breath
34:26I sold off everything the Lang family left
34:28The money's being split three ways
34:30One part goes to charity
34:32Your name
34:33One part goes to Vanessa and the child
34:35That's for my brother
34:36And the last part
34:37He let out a bleak laugh
34:39I'm keeping it for a grave
34:41I'll be buried next to you
34:42If there's another life
34:43I'll spend it paying you back
34:45The call ended
34:46I held the phone in my hand and didn't move
34:49Not for a long time
34:50When the screen finally went dark
34:52I saw my reflection in it
34:53Blank
34:54Cold
34:55Like I felt nothing at all
