Short filmTranscript
00:05I found out I was pregnant with twins.
00:07That same day, I was about to tell my husband when I overheard him talking to his father in the
00:10next room.
00:11I don't have feelings for Vivian.
00:13I'm not going to have kids with her.
00:15I only married her because you and mom approved of her.
00:19I kept the pregnancy to myself.
00:21Then I handed him divorce papers and left the country alone.
00:24He assumed our arrangement had simply run its course.
00:27He didn't try to stop me.
00:30Four years later, I came home to New York with the twins to visit my grandfather, who had fallen seriously
00:35ill.
00:36An old friend of Cassian's named Quinn spotted me the moment I arrived at the hospital.
00:41Cassian had spent four years trying to track me down.
00:45Quinn called him.
00:47Cassian was in the middle of a board meeting.
00:51Vivian is back in New York. She's visiting old Mr. Morgan.
00:57He ended it on the spot and left.
01:02Hold Mr. Morgan.
01:03I gave the front desk my grandfather's name and found the room without any trouble.
01:09He knocked.
01:10A warm voice came from inside.
01:13Cassian's heart was pounding.
01:15Come in.
01:17I thought it was a nurse.
01:19I wasn't expecting the man who walked through that door.
01:22My lips parted.
01:24How is he here?
01:25It had been four years.
01:26He looked exactly the same.
01:28Cassian smiled and walked in.
01:30Mr. Morgan, I heard you weren't feeling well.
01:32I came as soon as I could.
01:33He looked at Cassian warmly.
01:35Cassian.
01:36Good of you to come.
01:38Sit down, sit down.
01:40There was only one sofa in the room.
01:42I was already sitting on one side.
01:44He turned his head and looked at me with an easy smile.
01:47Viv.
01:49It's been a while.
01:50I pressed my palm against my knee and managed a small smile.
01:54Yeah.
01:54It has.
01:55Cassian kept talking with my grandfather.
01:57You were bad.
01:58But his eyes kept drifting back to me.
02:00My grandfather watched him carefully.
02:02After about 40 minutes, Cassian stood to leave.
02:05My grandfather looked at me.
02:06Viv, walk Cassian down, would you?
02:08I didn't want to, but I walked out with him anyway.
02:11We moved down the corridor side by side.
02:14These past few years, have you been okay?
02:19Pretty good.
02:20You?
02:20He smiled.
02:22Same as always.
02:23That wasn't true.
02:24It took him a few months after the divorce
02:26to understand how much he loves me.
02:28By then, I was already gone.
02:30He'd spend every day thinking about me.
02:32I stood on the sidewalk with a polite smile
02:34as Cassian opened the car door.
02:35Thank you for coming to see my grandfather today.
02:37It means a lot.
02:38Don't mention it.
02:39If you ever need anything, call me.
02:40Even just as a friend.
02:41I nodded and turned back toward the hospital entrance.
02:44That is when Sebastian came through a side door with the kids,
02:47my son and daughter,
02:48both of them toddling toward me on short legs.
02:50I scooped one up in each arm and kept walking.
02:54Cassian's car hadn't moved.
02:56He leaned forward, the window tent clearing.
02:58I saw a man with two small children,
03:01all three of them gravitating straight to me.
03:03Something in his chest tore open.
03:05Office.
03:06The car pulled away.
03:08He stayed at the office until almost nine.
03:11Work was the only thing that kept the images at bay.
03:13But the moment he closed his eyes that night,
03:16the scene outside the hospital replayed on a loop.
03:19She'd moved on.
03:20Married someone else.
03:21Built something real.
03:22She used to be my wife and I didn't take care of what I had.
03:28The desk lamp burned all night.
03:31At the time morning light filtered through the curtains.
03:33He hadn't slept.
03:34He pressed his fingers to his temples,
03:36got up,
03:37showered,
03:38drank two large black coffees,
03:40and went back to work.
03:42Two weeks later,
03:44Grandpa was cleared to leave the hospital.
03:46My brother Alex and I arrived early that morning to bring him home.
03:51The car pulled through the gate of the Morgan Estate
03:53and into the drive.
03:55Before it had fully stopped,
03:57the twins came running.
04:00Great Grandpa!
04:03He took one hand in each of his and beamed.
04:06There are my two.
04:07Did you miss me?
04:09Yes, Great Grandpa!
04:16The house had always been quiet.
04:18Just the housekeeper and the staff.
04:20Now there were children's shoes by the door and
04:22crayon drawings on the hall table.
04:24And the rooms felt warmer than they had in years.
04:27That evening,
04:28after I got both kids down,
04:30I slipped out of their room.
04:32The housekeeper was waiting in the hallway.
04:35Miss Whitfield,
04:36your grandfather is asking for you in the study.
04:40I'll be right there.
04:44When I reached the second floor study,
04:46I found Grandpa and Alex already seated at the table by the window.
04:50Just several folders spread across the surface.
04:52Vivian,
04:53what happened?
04:55Henderson said you called me in a hurry.
04:57Well,
04:57looks like there was a misunderstanding.
05:00My dear,
05:01sit down.
05:01You look terrified.
05:02I greeted them both
05:03and settled into an empty chair.
05:05Alex,
05:06Vivian,
05:08I asked Henderson to bring you both up
05:10because I have something to say.
05:11Your mother was my only child.
05:13That makes you my only heirs.
05:15After this illness,
05:16I know I'm not what I was.
05:18You'll need to take responsibility
05:19for the family's business.
05:21Both of you.
05:22My chest tightened,
05:23watching him in the lamplight,
05:25silver,
05:26haired,
05:27a little thinner than before.
05:29Grandpa,
05:29I'm still at Helios Corp.
05:31Helios Corp was our father's company.
05:33Our father had built it from nothing.
05:35And for the past five or six years,
05:37Alex had worked there as a junior sales rep.
05:40Our father's explicit instruction.
05:43You'll run the company one day.
05:46You can't run something
05:47you don't understand from the ground up.
05:51So Alex stayed,
05:52year after year.
05:54His performance didn't matter.
05:56His father never mentioned a promotion.
05:58Alex,
06:00why do you still have any illusions about that man?
06:03If he had plans for you,
06:04he wouldn't keep you in the same entry-level role
06:06for six years.
06:08My own grandson,
06:09working as a glorified junior for half a decade.
06:12Does that make any sense to you?
06:14Grandpa,
06:15if I walk out now,
06:16won't those years be wasted?
06:18I understood both sides.
06:20Our father hadn't moved Alex
06:22despite having every opportunity to do so.
06:24That said enough about his intentions.
06:26But Alex wasn't wrong either.
06:29Their father was aging.
06:32Alex was still his only son and heir.
06:35I don't know what he's thinking.
06:38Vivian is a daughter.
06:39I understand he's biased.
06:42But you are his only son.
06:44Alex said nothing.
06:45None of us knew what our father was planning.
06:47Whatever it was,
06:48he seemed to be holding
06:49even his own son at arm's length.
06:51Viv,
06:52you've been back in New York a little while now.
06:54What are you thinking?
06:55Get the kids enrolled first.
06:56Then whatever you need from me, Grandpa.
06:58You spent the last few years abroad
07:00in gemology and jewelry design.
07:02You built a solid client base
07:03and private commissions over there.
07:04You know the industry well.
07:06I'd like you to take over Heron Jewelers.
07:09I kept my voice easy.
07:10Should I start at the bottom first?
07:12He laughed.
07:13Neat.
07:14I trust you completely.
07:15Even if you run the whole thing into the ground,
07:18consider it practice.
07:19Something warm moved through me.
07:21I'll give it everything I have.
07:22When we'd finished talking about me,
07:24Grandpa looked back at Alex.
07:26You're the Whitfield heir,
07:27but you're also mine.
07:29I'm still on my feet.
07:30I can carry this for a few more years.
07:32After that, I can't say.
07:33Alex said quietly,
07:34Give me one year, Grandpa.
07:36Whether or not I end up with Dad's company,
07:38I'll step into Morgan Housings within a year.
07:40You'll be able to rest.
07:41Grandpa finally nodded.
07:43Good.
07:44One year.
07:49It's late.
07:50The three of us said goodnight.
07:55Goodnight.
07:55The penthouse on the 23rd floor of Riverside Tower.
07:58I hadn't been back in years.
08:00I'd kept the access code,
08:01but expected the biometric registry
08:03to have purged me long ago.
08:04I said my name.
08:06Vivian Whitfield.
08:07Then the voice print prompt.
08:09A soft tone.
08:10Waiting.
08:10A half second pause.
08:11The lock released.
08:13The real estate agent stepped in behind me.
08:15He looked around.
08:16Everything's been kept clean.
08:17You'd never know the place had been empty.
08:19I was still working that out
08:20when Mrs. Miller came in from the balcony
08:22holding a watering can.
08:23Her face opened into a bright smile.
08:25Mrs. Sterling.
08:26You're back.
08:28I winced.
08:29Mrs. Miller, we've been divorced.
08:31That isn't really appropriate anymore.
08:32She flushed.
08:33I'm so sorry,
08:34Miss Whitfield.
08:35Old habit.
08:37It's fine.
08:39But why are you here?
08:40I settled your wages the day I moved out.
08:42Mr. Sterling hired me to keep the place
08:44so it would be ready whenever you came back.
08:46Something complicated moved through me.
08:48Cassian had never paid attention
08:50to things like this when we were married.
08:52And now, years after the divorce,
08:54he'd quietly arranged it all.
08:55If I said I felt nothing for Cassian,
08:57that would be a lie.
08:58But I'd heard it from his own mouth.
09:00I don't have feelings for Vivian.
09:01I'm not going to have kids with her.
09:03Whatever small thing had been growing in me back then,
09:05it died the moment those words did.
09:08The agent interrupted my thoughts.
09:10Miss Whitfield, is it all right if I take some photos?
09:12Of course.
09:13Go ahead.
09:14You're selling?
09:15It's just sitting here.
09:17Better to free up the capital.
09:19I read her expression without difficulty.
09:21Mrs. Miller,
09:23if nothing else comes up for you,
09:26would you consider coming to work at the Morgan House?
09:30She said immediately,
09:31I would love that.
09:33One condition.
09:35You cut contact with Cassiel.
09:37Completely.
09:38She tapped the slim band on her wrist without hesitation.
09:41I swept it away in front of me.
09:42The agent finished his photos.
09:45I left with Mrs. Miller.
09:48When Mrs. Miller saw the twins back at the Morgan House,
09:51she understood immediately why I had insisted.
09:54She stared at the two of them,
09:55both unmistakably carrying Cassian Sterling's features.
09:58The boy especially.
10:00The boy especially.
10:00His eyes.
10:00His nose.
10:01The set of his jaw.
10:02She'd watched me go through morning sickness right before the divorce.
10:05There was no question in her mind.
10:09Mrs. Miller?
10:11These two are your main responsibilities from now on.
10:13Go there.
10:14I introduced her to the kids.
10:18Mrs. Miller had worked as a nanny and infant caregiver for years.
10:22And it showed.
10:24Warm.
10:25Patient.
10:26Instinctively good with them.
10:28By the next morning,
10:29she was out in the garden with both of them on her own.
10:31I breathed out.
10:32That was one thing settled.
10:33Next,
10:34find a preschool.
10:35and start preparing to take over Harrow Jewelers.
10:38A few weeks later,
10:39the whole household was gathered around the long dining table at lunch,
10:42when the housekeeper came over quietly.
10:44Mrs. Whitfield,
10:45we've had several calls.
10:47And held out the house comm panel.
10:52I thanked him,
10:53stepped away from the table,
10:54and answered.
10:55Mrs. Whitfield,
10:56this is Selina from Northbridge Realty.
10:58Hi, Selina.
10:59What's going on?
11:00Someone came to view your listing this morning.
11:01They've already put down a deposit.
11:03I wanted to check your schedule for signing the transfer paperwork.
11:06The apartment was listed at 18 million.
11:08It had been on the market for one day.
11:11Already?
11:11I said.
11:12Selina laughed.
11:14I was surprised, too.
11:15He just had a quick look around and pulled out his card.
11:17Is he local?
11:18Sounds like it from his accent.
11:19But I didn't recognize him.
11:21Maybe I'm just bad with faces.
11:23I'll go there this afternoon.
11:25I didn't push further.
11:26I walked into the Northbridge Realty office.
11:29The buyer's face was familiar in a way I couldn't immediately place.
11:32I hadn't been to Cassian's company.
11:34I'd only crossed paths with this man once.
11:36At a formal dinner,
11:37I didn't know he was Cassian's executive assistant.
11:40Miss Whitfield,
11:40this is Mr. Joe.
11:43Miss Whitfield,
11:44good to meet you.
11:45Four years later,
11:46I came home to New York with the twins to visit my grandfather,
11:49who had fallen seriously ill.
11:51An old friend of Cassian's named Quinn spotted me the moment I arrived at the hospital.
11:56Cassian had spent four years trying to track me down.
11:59Quinn called him.
12:02Cassian was in the middle of a board meeting.
12:05Vivian is back in New York.
12:07She's visiting old Mr. Morgan.
12:11He ended it on the spot and left.
12:16Old Mr. Morgan.
12:17I gave the front desk my grandfather's name
12:20and found the room without any trouble.
12:23He knocked.
12:24A warm voice came from inside.
12:27Cassian's heart was pounding.
12:29Come in.
12:31I thought it was a nurse.
12:33I wasn't expecting the man who walked through that door.
12:35My lips parted.
12:37How is he here?
12:39It had been four years.
12:40He looked exactly the same.
12:41Cassian smiled and walked in.
12:43Mr. Morgan,
12:44I heard you weren't feeling well.
12:46I came as soon as I could.
12:47He looked at Cassian warmly.
12:48Cassian,
12:49good of you to come.
12:51Sit down, sit down.
12:53There was only one sofa in the room.
12:55I was already sitting on one side.
12:57He turned his head and looked at me with an easy smile.
13:00Viv,
13:02it's been a while.
13:03I pressed my palm against my knee
13:04and managed a small smile.
13:06Yeah,
13:07it has.
13:08Cassian kept talking with my grandfather,
13:10but his eyes kept drifting back to me.
13:12My grandfather watched him carefully.
13:14After about 40 minutes,
13:16Cassian stood to leave.
13:17My grandfather looked at me.
13:18Viv,
13:19walk Castle down,
13:20would you?
13:20I didn't want to,
13:21but I walked out with him anyway.
13:23We moved down the corridor side by side.
13:26These past few years,
13:27have you been okay?
13:30Pretty good.
13:31You?
13:32He smiled.
13:33Same as always.
13:34That wasn't true.
13:36It took him a few months after the divorce
13:37to understand how much he loves me.

15:14There are my two.
15:16Did you miss me?
15:17Yes, great-grandpad!
15:24The house had always been quiet,

16:28My chest tightened.
16:30Watching him in the lamplight.
16:31Silver.
16:32Haired.
16:33A little thinner than before.
16:35Viv.
16:36You've been back in New York a little while now.
16:38What are you thinking?
16:39Get the kids enrolled first.
16:40Then whatever you need from me, grandpa.

17:02Something warm moved through me.
17:04I'll give it everything I have.
17:05When we'd finished talking about me,
17:07grandpa looked back at Alex.
17:09You're the Whitfield heir,
17:10but you're also mine.
17:12I'm still on my feet.
17:13I can carry this for a few more years.
17:14After that, I can't say.
17:15Alex said quietly,
17:17Give me one year, grandpa.
17:19Whether or not I end up with dad's company,
17:21I'll step into Morgan Housings within a year.
17:23You'll be able to rest.
17:24Grandpa finally nodded.
17:26Good.
17:27One year.
17:31It's late.
17:32The three of us said goodnight.
17:37Goodnight, grandpa.
17:38The penthouse on the 23rd floor of Riverside Tower.
17:40I hadn't been back in years.
17:42I'd kept the access code,
17:43but expected the biometric registry to have purged me long ago.
17:47I said my name.
17:48Vivian Whitfield.
17:50Then the voice print prompt.
17:51A soft tone.
17:52Waiting.
17:52A half second pause.
17:53The lock released.
17:55The real estate agent stepped in behind me.
17:57He looked around.
17:58Everything's been kept clean.
17:59You'd never know the place had been empty.
18:01I was still working that out
18:02when Mrs. Miller came in from the balcony
18:04holding a watering can.
18:05Her face opened into a bright smile.
18:07Mrs. Sterling, you're back.
18:09I winced.
18:10Mrs. Miller, we've been divorced.
18:12That isn't really appropriate anymore.
18:13She flushed.
18:14I'm so sorry, Miss Whitfield.
18:17Old habit.
18:19It's fine.
18:20But why are you here?
18:21I settled your wages the day I moved out.
18:23Mr. Sterling hired me to keep the place
18:25so it would be ready whenever you came back.
18:27Something complicated moved through me.
18:29Cassian had never paid attention
18:31to things like this when we were married.
18:32And now, years after the divorce,
18:34he'd quietly arranged it all.
18:36If I said I felt nothing for Cassian,
18:38that would be a lie.
18:39But I'd heard it from his own mouth.
18:40I don't have feelings for Vivian.
18:42I'm not going to have kids with her.
18:44Whatever small thing had been growing in me back then,
18:46it died the moment those words did.
18:48The agent interrupted my thoughts.
18:50Miss Whitfield, is it all right if I take some photos?
18:53Of course.
18:54Go ahead.
18:54You're selling?
18:55It's just sitting here.
18:57Better to free up the capital.
18:59I read her expression without difficulty.
19:01Mrs. Miller,
19:03if nothing else comes up for you,
19:05would you consider coming to work at the Morgan house?
19:10She said immediately,
19:11I would love that.
19:13One condition.
19:14You cut contact with Cassiel.
19:16Completely.
19:17She tapped the slim band on her wrist without hesitation
19:20and swept it away in front of me.
19:22The agent finished his photos.
19:24I left with Mrs. Miller.
19:28When Mrs. Miller saw the twins back at the Morgan house,
19:31she understood immediately why I had insisted.
19:33She stared at the two of them,
19:34both unmistakably carrying Cassie and Sterling's features.
19:38The boy especially.
19:39His eyes.
19:39His nose.
19:40The set of his jaw.
19:41She'd watched me go through morning sickness right before the divorce.
19:44There was no question in her mind.
19:47Mrs. Miller?
19:49These two are your main responsibilities from now on.
19:52Go there.
19:53I introduced her to the kids.
19:57Mrs. Miller had worked as a nanny and infant caregiver for years.
20:01And it showed.
20:02Warm.
20:03Patient.
20:04Instinctively good with them.
20:06By the next morning,
20:07she was out in the garden with both of them on her own.
20:09I breathed out.
20:10That was one thing settled.
20:11Next,
20:12find a preschool
20:13and start preparing to take over Harrow Jewelers.
20:16A few weeks later,
20:17the whole household was gathered around the long dining table at lunch
20:20when the housekeeper came over quietly.
20:22Miss Whitfield,
20:23we've had several calls.
20:25And held out the house comm panel.
20:29I thanked him,
20:30stepped away from the table,
20:31and answered.
20:32Miss Whitfield,
20:33this is Selena from Northbridge Realty.
20:35Hi, Selena.
20:36What's going on?
20:37Someone came to view your listing this morning.
20:39They've already put down a deposit.
20:40I wanted to check your schedule for signing the transfer paperwork.
20:43The apartment was listed at $18 million.
20:45It had been on the market for one day.
20:48Already?
20:48I said.
20:49Selena laughed.
20:50I was surprised, too.
20:52He just had a quick look around and pulled out his card.
20:54Is he local?
20:54Sounds like it from his accent.
20:56But I didn't recognize him.
20:57Maybe I'm just bad with faces.
21:00I'll go there this afternoon.
21:01I didn't push further.
21:03I walked into the Northbridge Realty office.
21:05The buyer's face was familiar in a way I couldn't immediately place.
21:08I hadn't been to Cassian's company.
21:10I'd only crossed paths with this man once,
21:12at a formal dinner.
21:13I didn't know he was Cassian's executive assistant.
21:16Miss Whitfield,
21:17this is Mr. Joe.
21:19Miss Whitfield,
21:20good to meet you.
