He Chose My Stepsister, Never Knowing I Was the Real Heiress ASD

Short filmTranscript
00:13I got home late with the signed project file.
00:17I cut my trip short to surprise him.
00:19That was stupid, the part I regret most.
00:28I knew that sound.
00:36Sienna, my stepsister, wearing my robe, in my bed.
00:41My blood went cold like ice.
00:44Evelyn? Why are you home early?
00:47If I hadn't come home early, how else would I have found out my husband was screwing my stepsister in
00:53my bed?
00:54You're never home, Evelyn. Somebody had to take care of him.
00:59Get out of my bed.
01:00Enough. It's the middle of the night. Don't start.
01:03Don't start?
01:04Adrienne, you know exactly who she is to me. You let her wear my robe, climb into my bed, and
01:07I'm the one making a scene?
01:08What's done is done. Throwing a fit now won't change anything. You'll still be Mrs. Cole. That hasn't changed.
01:11This wasn't a mistake. He wanted me to accept it.
01:14Evelyn, you've always had more than her. Sienna's fragile. Can't you let her have this?
01:19Years ago, my father had said almost the same thing. That was how my mother got pushed out piece by
01:23piece.
01:23I remembered Adrian when he first joined the company. Unconnected. Unremarkable. I'd built him up because I loved him.
01:30He didn't know. I was Sterling. The only heir.
01:33A few weeks ago, my mother had called and asked me to come home. I'd hesitated. I'd actually imagine giving
01:37everything I inherited to him.
01:40Sign.
01:41What is it? Company paperwork? I knew you'd come to your senses.
01:44He had no idea. He just signed his resignation.
01:49One more thing. Sienna's pregnant.
01:51The world blurred for a second.
01:53That child can't be born without an aide. So we're going to divorce for now. When the baby's born, I'll
01:59marry you again.
02:01Okay.
02:03Good. Staff's gone for the night, so clean this up yourself.
02:08Tell my mother I'm coming home, but I need two weeks first. I have to finish cleaning this up.
02:14I have to finish cleaning this up.
02:23Room smells bad.
02:29Joint account charges.
02:33He promised 50-50.
02:45Mother's Necklace
02:52Put every pending Cole Group deal on hold
02:54Transfer them to Sterling Group
02:56All of them?
02:58All of them
02:59I brought those deals in
03:01Half those partners only signed on because of me
03:03If I'm not signing, there's no reason for them to stay
03:18This is the divorce agreement, Mrs. Sterling
03:21Please read it carefully
03:24Tonight's Foundation Gala matters
03:26The media will be there
03:27The board will be there
03:29The trustees, our partners
03:32I need you to sign now
03:34So nothing goes sideways
03:35You'll get everything you're owed
03:37Compensation
03:38Privacy
03:39Dignity
03:40Hello, Prevolce Maureens
03:49This is temporary
03:50Once everything settles down, things can go back to normal
03:53Just be there tonight
03:55Don't make this harder than it needs to be
04:00Fine
04:00I wanted to see
04:10Look, that's Mr. Cole and his wife
04:13She waited for this
04:26That's my necklace
04:30Reporters swarmed
04:32Mr. Cole, over here
04:35Wait
04:35That's not Evelyn
04:38Evelyn and I are divorcing
04:40I'll introduce her properly later
04:41Guests whispered
04:44That's Victoria's necklace
04:47That's Victoria's necklace
04:48It's the Sterling Ehrlich
04:50It was Evelyn's most treasured piece
04:54I didn't know
04:55Adrian said it suited me
04:57Her voice cut in
04:58You wore my robe
05:00Now you wear my necklace
05:01You paraded yourself as Mrs. Cole in front of everyone
05:06And you're telling me you didn't know?
05:08Why do you always have to humiliate me like this?
05:11Last chance, Sienna
05:13Take off the necklace
05:16Adrian!
05:17Enough
05:18This is a foundation gala, Evelyn
05:20Not a place for one of your scenes
05:24A scene?
05:27I locked it last night
05:28Only you could have taken it
05:30We're not divorced yet
05:31You paraded her as Mrs. Cole
05:34And I'm the one making a scene?
05:35It's just a necklace
05:37Do you really need to make this big a deal out of it?
05:42It's just an old piece your mother left behind
05:46Sienna wearing it isn't a big deal
05:50Adrian, you really do think you're something, don't you?
05:56Take it off
05:56Or I will
05:58Why can't you ever just let me exist?
06:01Your mother stole my father
06:02Now you steal my necklace and you play innocent
06:05You don't get to play victim
06:17Adrian!
06:18She's insane!
06:27Apologize to Sienna
06:39He actually hit her?
06:41That woman was wearing her necklace
06:47Apologize
06:54You were the one out of control tonight
06:57Don't embarrass me in a place like this
07:02Embarrass you?
07:03Did you forget whose ladder you climbed to get here?
07:08Evelyn, don't start acting crazy
07:10Crazy?
07:12Fine
07:13Then let me show you what actually looks like
07:17Effective immediately
07:18Every deal I personally brought in
07:20Suspended
07:21Every partnership signed because of my name
07:24Every contract I guaranteed
07:26All of them
07:30Those two funding rounds only happened because of Evelyn
07:35Do you even understand what you're saying?
07:39Oh, I understand perfectly
07:41Like that slap you just gave me
07:43It cost you every deal you thought was already in the bag
07:46Even if that cost me millions
07:47It still doesn't give you the right to make a scene here
07:50Apologize
08:07Adrian, my stomach hurts
08:09The baby
08:10Is the baby okay?
08:12Look at me
08:13You and the baby are going to be fine
08:16Evelyn
08:16She's still over there
08:18She'll live
08:30He left her
08:36Then the nightmare began
08:39You need to stay overnight for observation
08:42No
08:44She went home
08:48Mary, did you change the flowers in my room?
08:50Yes, ma'am
08:53Lombire
08:53She froze
09:03Her necklace
09:06Oh
09:07Your back?
09:08Why is it that you can never hold on to anything?
09:13Put it down
09:16What are you so worked up about?
09:18Put it down
09:30She staged it
09:34Blood!
09:35Oh my god!
09:36Call Mr. Cole!
09:38Save it
09:38I saw the blood packet in your sleeve
09:41I was only trying to put away the things you didn't want anymore
09:44Why can't you ever leave me alone?
09:46Why do you hate my baby so much?
09:50Sienna
09:51Adrian
09:53Our baby
09:54She's lying
09:55She hid a blood packet in her sleeve
09:57She threw herself down those stairs
09:59Enough!
10:01Do you really hate her so much you had to push it this far?
10:04I saw her do it
10:05She staged the whole thing
10:07I walked in and the first thing I saw
10:09Was you standing over her
10:15Get over here
10:18Hold her down!
10:24Let go of me
10:35She lost the baby
10:37You're going to pay for that
10:39I told you she faked it
10:41She never
10:42Shut up!
10:45Tie her up
10:51Whatever Sienna lost
10:53You'll give back
11:00Again
11:06Again
11:19Don't be scared
11:20You're taking me to the hospital
11:32Mr. Cole said you weren't getting off easy tonight
11:35Mr. Cole only wanted to teach you a lesson
11:38But Miss Sienna wants more than that
11:41She lost a baby
11:44So you don't get to keep the chance to be a mother either
11:56No anesthesia
12:00Miss Sienna wants her to remember this for the rest of her life
12:22The world went black
12:24I woke up in agony
12:33I dragged myself to the nightstand and hit record
12:37I realized I was clutching a bloodied vial
12:40I'd lost more than a marriage
12:42I'd lost my chance to be a mother
12:45Oh my god
12:46Oh my god
12:47Mrs. Cole
12:47They pulled the guards
12:49I only got in because they finally left
12:51Don't be scared, Mrs. Cole
12:53I brought a doctor
12:54We'll take care of you first
13:00Miss
13:02Your uterus is gone
13:07She understood
13:11Make sure Adrian checks his email
13:12That's the last gift I'll ever give him
13:17Graham
13:18I want the divorce finalized as fast as possible
13:21And I want a car at the Cole house immediately
13:23Everything in this house with one of my labels on it goes
13:27And the furniture
13:28If it can be taken apart, take it apart
13:29If it can't, cut it in half
13:31Ma'am
13:32If we saw through some of this
13:33It won't be usable anymore
13:34Do it anyway
13:50That half comes with me
13:52That half stays
13:56Yes, miss
14:03Graham, notify the board
14:04Revoke every authorization I still have in Cole
14:07Cut off every partnership
14:09Every line of credit
14:10Every deal tied to my name
14:12I want the collapse to start before sunrise
14:15From today on
14:16I return as the sterling heir
14:20I'll clean this up myself
14:29Adrian
14:31What are you thinking about?
14:34Nothing
14:36Don't go
14:36Every time I close my eyes
14:38I see her pushing me down the stairs
14:40I'm scared
14:41To who?
14:42Evelyn?
14:43Do you feel sorry for her now?
14:45That's enough
14:47I didn't go see her
14:48And the one I'm here with right now is you
14:53Adrian go back to the main house
14:54For the next three days
14:56It was his assistant's call
14:58That finally brought him back
15:05Sir
15:07You're finally back
15:11Where is she?
15:13Mrs. Cole
15:14No
15:16Miss Evelyn is gone
15:18Before she left
15:19She blocked your number
15:20Every form of contact too
15:23She said that
15:24From now on
15:25She has nothing to do
15:26With the Cole family
15:36Blocked me?
15:37What gives her the right
15:38To block me?
15:56After you left
15:57No one in the house
15:58Dared to come up here
16:00All we know is that
16:01Later that night
16:02Someone came back
16:11Why is it that
16:12You can never seem to
16:13Hold on to the things
16:14That are yours?
16:16Hold her down
16:18No anesthesia
16:19Miss Sienna wants her to
16:20Remember this
16:21For the rest of her life
16:25Sir, you should read it yourself
16:50What happened here?
17:04Did you throw yourself
17:05Down the stairs
17:06Or did Evelyn push you?
17:10Adrian
17:10What's wrong with you?
17:12I was just thinking
17:13About moving in
17:13Were you ever pregnant
17:14At all?
17:16Adrian
17:16Those two who came back
17:18That night
17:20Who sent them?
17:21I don't know
17:21What you're talking about
17:22Evelyn hated me
17:24She humiliated me
17:25At the gala
17:26Then pushed me
17:26Down the stairs
17:28You're still acting
17:29Why?
17:30Is it that you can
17:31Never seem to hold
17:33To the things
17:33That are yours?
17:35No, no
17:37No, it wasn't like that
17:38Adrian
17:39Listen to me
17:40I can explain
17:40I was just scared
17:42I just
17:45I've checked everything
17:46House surveillance
17:47Treatment room logs
17:48The Hitman's payment trail
17:50I know the money trail
17:51Who sent them
17:51And that you had
17:52The treatment room
17:53Unlocked beforehand
17:54Bank transfers
17:55Access logs
17:56Visitor records
17:57All here
17:57And that line
17:58Don't give her anesthesia
18:00Came from you
18:01I didn't mean for it
18:02To go this far
18:03I loved him too much
18:04I was terrified
18:05Evelyn would always
18:06Crush me
18:06So you destroyed her?
18:19Only now
18:20Did she finally
18:21Understand
18:21What she had done
18:24This was never just about
18:25Stealing a man
18:26Or winning a petty rivalry
18:28This was a crime
18:30And the Sterlings
18:31Never forgive
18:36Miss Sienna
18:37Help us
18:38We only did
18:39What you told us to do
18:41You paid us
18:42You opened the treatment room
18:44For us
18:45Shut up
18:46I don't know you
18:53You used my name
18:55To destroy her
18:57Adrian
18:58I was wrong
18:59Please
19:00You never had me
19:02So what exactly
19:04Were you afraid of losing?
19:07Hold her
19:07Treat her exactly
19:09How she treated Evelyn
19:11No
19:12Don't do this
19:14I love you
19:15Her apartment
19:17Car accounts
19:17All shut down
19:19All evidence of her crimes
19:20Has been released publicly
19:21No
19:22It's not fair
19:25You're guilty too
19:26You did this to her
19:41Get the car ready
19:43Sir
19:44Where are you going?
19:50To Sterling Manon
20:01Effective today
20:02Evelyn Sterling
20:03Will formally return
20:04To the Sterling line
20:05Of succession
20:20Evelyn
20:24I know I was wrong
20:26Come back with me
20:27Let's talk
20:28Please
20:30Mr. Cole
20:33This is a private
20:34Sterling family proceeding
20:36You are not supposed
20:37To be here
20:39Leave
20:41I know what happened
20:42At the house now
20:43I didn't know
20:44It would turn into that
20:45I admit it
20:46I was an asshole
20:48I let Sienna fool me
20:49But you can't refuse
20:51To give me even
20:52One chance to
20:54Explain
20:55Explain
20:57When you watched me bleed
20:59On the red carpet
21:01You didn't have an explanation
21:02When you had people
21:03Hold me down
21:04And kick me
21:05You didn't have an explanation
21:06Either
21:08And now that the consequences
21:09Have reached you
21:11Suddenly you want one
21:17Evelyn I
21:18You no longer have the right
21:20To say my name
21:23What you offered
21:24Was never just a wife
21:27You offended the entire
21:28Sterling family
21:35No
21:37Evelyn
21:38Listen to me
21:48Kohl's last three expansions
21:50Kohl's last three expansions
21:50Relied on Sterling
21:51Bank approvals
21:52Were granted for your name
21:54His board backers
21:56Were our favors
21:58Endorsement
21:59Capital
22:00None
22:01Existed
22:02Without Sterling
22:07This stayed only because of your marriage
22:15Say the word
22:16All support ends tonight
22:18You decide mercy
22:19Not the cause
22:32No mercy
22:35Sterling and Kohl
22:36Are fully severed tonight
22:41Executed
22:53Evelyn
22:54Open the door
22:55Let me in
23:01Hello
23:01West Coast Bank
23:03Suspended all credit lines
23:11Emergency board meeting
23:13At noon
23:13Directors demand
23:14Written explanation now
23:16All partners
23:16Pause negotiations
23:17Sterling pulled out
23:42To be continued
23:53Mr. Vail.
23:58Who are you?
23:59Sebastian Vail.
24:02Lady Victoria asked me to come.
24:05So you're one of the Sterlings.
24:07Close enough.
24:08Starting tonight, if Evelyn doesn't want to see you, you must not appear.
24:13And who the hell are you to speak for her?
24:17Because you've proven you're unfit to decide for her.
24:19Did she know you before? Is that why she left so cleanly?
24:23She left cleanly because of you, not me.
24:26You made her understand the cost of staying with you.
24:34Escort Mr. Cole out.
24:36He is forbidden from approaching the manor without permission.
24:41No! Let go of me!
24:52The rain had been falling for hours.
24:55Every sharp pain threw my body.
25:02The moment I sat down I could barely hold back the ache in my bones.
25:07The cold air hit the wound and my whole body tent up controllably.
25:11Miss Sterling, you need to relax a little.
25:17So that's it?
25:22There really won't ever be one again?
25:25I almost laughed.
25:27I'd lost even the possibility of having a choice.
25:30I never thought I'd lose even this.
25:33Not a child.
25:35The possibility.
25:40You can go.
25:43When the door clicked shut, I was finally alone with all the broken pieces.
25:47I couldn't even cry out loud.
25:50The tears just kept falling.
25:51Silent and heavy.
25:57It's me.
26:02What is it?
26:03Lady Victoria asked me to check if you needed anything.
26:07What if I can never be a mother now?
26:09That still wouldn't be the whole of your worth.
26:15You've already lost enough.
26:17You don't have to figure out the rest tonight.
26:19You don't owe anyone an answer right now.
26:23Just stay alive first.
26:24His words wrapped around me softly for the first time all night.
26:27I didn't feel like I was drowning.
26:29He stayed just on the other side of the door.
26:31I wasn't alone in this.
26:33Not anymore.
26:35The next morning, Victoria gave me no time to escape.
26:45This was Victoria's last resort for me.
26:47Hidden for five whole years.
26:49This is the Sterling Emergency Trust.
26:52Reserved for you years ago.
26:54I never imagined this name was already carved into my destiny.
27:01The Sterlings always have an exit route.
27:04I never trusted Cole.
27:06I never trusted Adrian.
27:07Mr. Vail handled the gala footage and the attackers' backgrounds.
27:11There's a recording on this.
27:13I made it years ago.
27:17If you're hearing this, things went wrong.
27:21Sebastian is one of the few I trust.
27:23He will stand by your side when it matters.
27:26The darkness I thought I bore alone.
27:28Someone had already shielded me from.
27:31Just like last night in the rain.
27:33He never left.
27:34Come in.
27:35Come in.
27:37Come in.
27:38Come in.
27:38Come in.
27:39Come in.
27:40Come in.
27:41Come in.
27:41Come in.
27:46You knew about these arrangements all along?
27:48I knew some of it.
27:50It was always your choice.
27:52So now you're here to protect me?
27:56The fact that I want to protect you didn't start today.
27:59This was not a family order, but his hidden affection for years.
28:04My long, frozen heart finally cracked open a slit.
28:08Two days later, Victoria called me to the tea room.
28:13There's a formal dinner at the Vale Estate this Saturday.
28:16I knew it wasn't just a dinner invitation.
28:19Are you trying to force me into a decision already?
28:22No.
28:25You don't have to discuss marriage.
28:26You don't have to promise anything.
28:28I'm only asking if you want to step back into your place.
28:31I stared at the invitation, lost in thought.
28:38Come in.
28:41He already knew what we were talking about.
28:48If I say yes to going, that doesn't mean I'm ready for another relationship.
28:53I know.
28:54And it doesn't mean I agree with whatever everyone outside decides to imagine.
29:01All right.
29:02I finally asked the question that had been haunting me.
29:06Do you really not mind?
29:08Mind what?
29:10The way I am now, my body, my past, what comes after this?
29:22There are many ways to build a family.
29:25And children do not have to come into your life only through the path that was taken from you.
29:32You do not have to figure any of that out today.
29:36You only need to know that your future does not end here.
