Short filmTranscript
00:03Chloe's baby needs a father. Once we divorce, I'll marry you.
00:07Everyone thought I'd swallow my pride and wait another month.
00:10After all, I'd already waited seven years.
00:13But that night, I left the country for an arranged marriage.
00:17I vanished from his world completely.
00:20Three years later, my husband and I flew back stateside for a family memorial.
00:26My husband had a last-minute work emergency,
00:28so he told his local Blanche to send a car for me.
00:33Isn't that your obsessed ex? Isn't that Vanessa?
00:37See? I told you guys. I knew she'd come crawling back.
00:40Vanessa vanished without a trace. Now she sees Seth is loaded.
00:43She probably cries herself to sleep every night.
00:46Vanessa, if you're gonna fake a random run-in, why show up in sweatpants?
00:52Couldn't you at least put on some makeup?
00:54Without Seth, you can't even buy a nice outfit? You look pathetic.
00:58It was true.
00:59I used to spend hours getting ready for Seth.
01:01Full face of makeup, tight designer dresses,
01:04always making sure I looked absolutely perfect for him.
01:07But I didn't need to do that anymore because I'm pregnant.
01:10And my husband refused to let me be uncomfortable.
01:14He banned heavy makeup and had this cheap loungewear custom-tailored for me in Paris.
01:19Listening to them mock me, it suddenly clicked.
01:22They only read the name on the corporate dispatch.
01:24They had no idea the VIP they were picking where picking up was me.
01:28Vanessa, it's good you're back. Seth actually spent years looking for you.
01:32He asked about you everywhere.
01:35Chloe's kid starts preschool next week.
01:37From now on, you're in charge of the drop-offs.
01:38He was still so incredibly arrogant, but I wasn't that naive little girl anymore.
01:42Looking at him now, I just felt exhausted and grossed out.
01:45I didn't want to waste another second on them.
01:47I was just about to tell them exactly who I was.
01:50I am Vanessa.
01:51Please don't be mad at Seth.
01:53He's just trying to take care of you.
01:55You disappeared for three years.
01:57Who knows what kind of shady stuff you had to do to survive.
02:01Look at how run-down you are.
02:03Seth wanted to make you my personal secretary, but clearly you can't handle that.
02:07So don't worry.
02:08Being my Nerny is a respectable job.
02:10No one will look down on you.
02:12All right, Vanessa, drop the attitude.
02:14You clearly can't survive out there.
02:16Also, stop throwing tantrums.
02:18Take care of the kid and learn your place.
02:20Don't worry.
02:21My mansion has a perfectly good Nerny room in the basement.
02:24Damn, Vanessa, look how good Seth is to you.
02:26He's giving you free room and bore.
02:29Hurry up and say thank you.
02:30Don't you worry, dear.
02:31If my son acts up, I'll make sure to set him straight for you.
02:35I won't let you be mistreated.
02:37Why would she be mistreated?
02:39She ran away over over a tiny little misunderstanding.
02:42If she hit rock bottom out there, she deserves to suffer a little.
02:46My heart actually skipped a beat.
02:48After three years, he still thought ditching me at the county clerk's office for Chloe
02:52was just a tiny little misunderstanding.
02:54He wasn't the boy who carried me across town, ignoring his own bleeding cuts.
02:58He wasn't the broke teenager who promised me the world.
03:01He wasn't the man who, despite all his fame and success, was still willing to cook for me.
03:06But whatever it was all in the past, none of it mattered anymore.
03:11Besides, I'm about to give birth to my second baby anyway.
03:16Aren't you here to pick me up?
03:19Let's go.
03:20Pick you up?
03:24Don't make me laugh.
03:25Read it carefully.
03:27We are waiting for Mrs. Vance.
03:28Do you even know who that is?
03:30Mrs. Vance is the matriarch of the Vance family.
03:32She is the actual wife of Grayson Vance.
03:34Grayson Vance is a ruthless billionaire, but he's completely obsessed with his wife.
03:39Rumor has it, he stayed single for years, just waiting for her.
03:43Everyone in the industry knows the rule.
03:45Don't try to kiss up to Grayson.
03:47Kiss up to Mrs. Vance.
03:48She is his entire world.
03:50Listening to them gossip about my marriage, I couldn't help it.
03:53A genuine happy smile spread across my face.
03:56We had been married for three years.
03:58Grayson's empire had only gotten bigger,
03:59and his reputation as a fiercely devoted husband had spread everywhere.
04:03Chloe always needed to feel superior to me.
04:05She couldn't pass up a chance to show off.
04:07To win his wife's heart, Grayson Vance bought a custom diamond bracelet at Christie's.
04:11It cost $20 million.
04:13Mrs. Vance is literally the most envied woman on earth.
04:17That's the exact same bracelet.
04:19It's a pretty good fake.
04:22Which broke delivery guy bought this for you?
04:25Buying you a cheap knockoff.
04:31Absolute trash.
04:34Wow.
04:35It really is a high-quality fake.
04:38Way better than the replica I bought.
04:40But I'd never actually wear mine in public.
04:44It's so embarrassing.
04:46These overseas knockoffs hit different.
04:50The weight actually feels real?
04:52Or what, Vanessa?
04:53Vanessa, are you going to tell us you're the real Mrs. Vance?
04:57Are you the legendary billionaire's wife?
05:01The second she said it, the frat boys erupted into hysterical laughter.
05:05To them, it was the most absurd joke in the world.
05:09Vanessa, just sell this fake to me.
05:12I'll pay you double what your broke boyfriend paid.
05:18I panicked, terrified she was going to drop it.
05:21Give that back right now.
05:23Grayson gave that to me.
05:28Shut your mouth.
05:32Vanessa, do you have a death wish?
05:35You think you can just casually drop Mr. Vance's name?
05:38Are you trying to get me killed?
05:40Do you have any idea how hard we fought for this airport pickup?
05:44Grayson Vance bought out Seth's company last year.
05:47Our entire livelihoods depend on him now.
05:50The only way Seth keeps his executive spot is if we impress Mrs. Vance.
05:54And you're out here spreading psychotic rumors that you know the CEO?
05:58Are you trying to ruin Seth's career?
06:00I wiped the blood from my split lip and slowly turned my head,
06:04then locked eyes with Seth.
06:05My stare must have been dead cold.
06:07Because Seth frowned, a flicker of genuine panic flashed across his eyes.
06:11Vanessa, you ungrateful bitch.
06:14Seth was kind enough to offer you a roof over your head.
06:17Don't push your luck.
06:18I know you're bitter about the past,
06:20but trying to taj his career out of petty revenge, that's sick.
06:24Hearing her say that, it felt exactly like three years ago.
06:27No matter what I did, Chloe would twist it.
06:30She would feed her poisoned version of reality to Seth.
06:33And Zerli Diz, trying to defend we.
06:36But by the end, he always took herself of her side, just like right now.
06:43You are such a jealous shrew.
06:45But this time, he didn't keep screaming at me.
06:47He went quiet for a second.
06:48Then he pulled out his checkbook.
06:50For the sake of what we used to be, I'll let this slide.
06:52Take the cash, go buy some clothes that doesn't look like trash.
06:56If you really don't want a nanny Chloe's kid,
06:58I'll pull some strings and get you a decent job next week.
07:02Don't worry.
07:03Ever since the Vance acquisition, this kind of money is pocket cheese to me.
07:06Watching him play the generous billionaire savior made my stomach turn.
07:09I shoved his hand away.
07:15No, thank you, sir.
07:16I don't take handouts from strangers.
07:20I practically sprinted out of the arrivals terminal,
07:23hitting the fresh air outside,
07:25finally pushing down the nausea churning in my stomach.
07:28My mind flashed back to three years ago.
07:31My parents had been pressuring me into an arranged marriage over Sears.
07:34I fought them on it.
07:36I begged Seth, my boyfriend of seven years,
07:39to just elope with me,
07:40to sign the papers and make us permanent.
07:42Seth agreed.
07:44But when I showed up at the county clerk's office,
07:46he brought his childhood sweetheart, Chloe.
07:48Her baby needed a legal father.
07:50I will divorce her in a month, then marry you then.
07:52Watching him hold her hand and walk into that clerk's office.
07:55I'm completely done.
07:57I flew overseas for a blind date that very night.
08:01A month later, I married Grayson Vance.
08:05A year later, we had our first baby.
08:08And now I'm pregnant with our second.
08:11Honestly, if it wasn't for Grayson's family memorial,
08:14I never would have set foot back in this country.
08:17And I definitely wouldn't have bumped into Seth.
08:20Three days later, I showed up to the corporate gala alone,
08:23wearing light light makeup and my custom lounge wear.
08:26The second Seth saw me, his eyes lit up.
08:30You said you didn't want to come, but here you are.
08:33Listen.
08:35If you want me back,
08:37you need to at least dress the part to match my new status.
08:41A brushed off his arrogance and tried to pass him.
08:45He stopped me just as angrily.
08:48Vanessa, I'm talking to you.
08:49Our seats are right here.
08:51Where do you think you're going?
08:52Those are your seats.
08:53My seat is over there.
08:54Vanessa, how did you sneak in here?
08:56Are you here to ruin everything?
08:57How dare you wear that bracelet?
08:58Wait, is that the Eternal Heart diamond bracelet?
09:00Mr. Vance bought that for his wife.
09:02Tonight is Mrs. Vance's first public appearance.
09:04Is this girl trying to mock the billionaire's wife?
09:06She sneak in?
09:07Is she trying to humiliate us in front of Mr. Vance?
09:09Excuse me, Seth.
09:10Is this young lady your friend?
09:12No, I don't know her.
09:14Take that fake bracelet off and get out.
09:16Are you sure you want me to leave?
09:18Stop acting like you're special.
09:20Take it off.
09:23Treating this cheap garbage treasure,
09:25my hand throbbed from her heel.
09:27My wrist was bleeding and torn.
09:29But I just sat there staring blankly at the snapped bracelet
09:32and the diamond scattering across the floor.
09:34Pick her up and throw her out.
09:36A few security guards immediately surrounded me.
09:38They reached down to grab my arms and legs.
09:41I panicked and struggled.
09:42Stop touching me!
09:44I am Grayson Vance!
09:47Chloe slapped me across the face before I could finish.
09:50Are you going to start spreading rumors
09:52that you're Mr. Vance's mistress now,
09:54you psychotic bitch?
09:55She wasn't satisfied.
09:57She backhanded me a second time.
10:00When I flew back to the States,
10:01I didn't want to bother with revenge.
10:05It felt beneath me.
10:06But right now,
10:07I was going to make sure she paid for this.
10:09Seth crouched down in front of me.
10:10He reached out to touch my bleeding wrist.
10:12I instinctively flinched away from him.
10:14His eyes turned ice cold.
10:15Vanessa, are you done throwing your little fit?
10:17You showed up wearing a fake diamond bracelet,
10:19dressed like a complete mess.
10:20Just because you see I'm rich now
10:21and you want to make me jealous?
10:22If you want me back, just beg.
10:24I'll say yes.
10:25Seth, you are absolutely screwed.
10:27Suddenly, the entire ballroom went dead silent.
10:30All the executives frantically shortened their ties
10:32and rushed toward the grand entrance.
10:34Seth panicked and yanked me to my feet.
10:36Mr. Vance is here.
10:37Behave yourself and don't worry, Vanessa.
10:39Chloe and I are already divorced.
10:41I stared at him, rubbing my bruised hand.
10:43This man was absolutely repulsing.
10:45What did his divorce have to do with me?
10:47At that exact moment, Grayson walked through the doors
10:50surrounded by a massive entourage of bodyguards
10:53and executives.
10:54He was holding our toddler in his arms.
10:56Once they got into the ballroom,
10:57my son squirbed to get down.
10:59Grayson set him on the floor.
11:01The adorable little boy instantly captured
11:02the entire room's attention.
11:04His nanny hurried nervously right behind him,
11:06terrified he'd trip.
11:07Seth didn't notice who the kid was running towards.
11:09Vanessa, if you stop acting jealous of Chloe,
11:12I'll forgive you for vanishing for three years.
11:15I'll give you a chance to give me a child.
11:17A child of ours.
11:19I didn't say a single word to him.
11:20I just looked past him,
11:22trying to catch Grayson and my son's eyes
11:23through the crowd.
11:24And then it happened.
11:26Grayson followed the toddler's clumsy little footsteps
11:28right up to where I was standing.
11:30The second my little boy saw me,
11:32he panicked.
11:33He threw himself into my arms.
11:36Mommy, who hurt you?
11:38Why is there so much blood?
11:40The executives who had just watched me get assaulted
11:42stared at me in absolute horror.
11:44My son's warm hug instantly washed away my disgust.
11:48Mommy's fine, baby.
11:50He grabbed my bleeding hand and gently blew on the torn skin.
11:55Tears welled up in his eyes.
11:57Mommy, who dared to do this to you?
11:59Before I could comfort him,
12:01the air in the room suddenly turned freezing cold.
12:04Grayson was walking toward us.
12:06The sea of terrified executives parted for him.
12:09Ever since I got pregnant with our second baby,
12:12he had been insanely overprotective,
12:14glued to my side 24-7.
12:16I instantly regretted flying back ahead of him.
12:18I picked up our son and turned around,
12:20the bright red blood dripping down my wrist.
12:22Daddy, someone bullied my mommy.
12:24We have to get revenge.
12:26Grayson stepped forward and gently took my bleeding wrist.
12:28Vanessa, what is this?
12:30Every time I take my eyes off you, you get hurt.
12:32Who the hell dared hurt you?
12:34Seeing this ruthless billionaire turn into a fiercely protective husband
12:37made my heart melt.
12:38He was so protective.
12:40A mosquito bite, a tiny mark from sleep.
12:43Even just half a spoon less, he's instantly worried.
12:46But I loved how intensely he cared about me.
12:49The ballroom lights were heavily dimmed.
12:51But our son felt something hard under his shoe.
12:53He bent down and picked up the massive center sapphire from my broken bracelet.
12:57Daddy, isn't this the present you gave mommy?
13:00Grayson took the sapphire and flipped it over.
13:02He looked at the crushed diamonds on the floor,
13:05then at my manged wrist.
13:06His hand gripped the armrest of a nearby chair so hard,
13:09the metal literally deformed under his grip.
13:12Frustrated by the shadows, he gently forced me into the chair.
13:15Turn on every single light in this room!
13:18When our eyes met, his pupils narrowed slightly.
13:21He suddenly cupped my face.
13:24What happened to your face?
13:26They actually dared to do this to you?
13:28I'm fine, Grayson, I said softly, patting his hand.
13:33Vanessa, I am your husband.
13:35You never have to just swallow this kind of abuse.
13:38Our son nodded furiously.
13:39No one bullies mama!
13:41Honestly, I could have handled Seth and Chloe myself.
13:45But maybe it was the pregnancy hormones.
13:47We're just finally feeling safe.
13:49My voice suddenly cracked.
13:50All the built-up exhaustion finally broke through.
13:53You weren't here.
13:55They all picked on me.
13:56The frat boys from the airport were literally shaking.
13:59They were gripping the cocktail tables just to stay upright.
14:02The obsessed, pathetic ex they had been mocking all week
14:05was actually Grayson Vance's wife.
14:08They were kicking themselves,
14:09desperate to find a hole to crawl into and die.
14:12Vanessa, where did you hire these two actors?
14:15Their acting is pretty good.
14:16Do you want Chloe to get them an agent?
14:18Since you're clearly too broke to afford your own clothes,
14:21I've got a set I've already worn.
14:22If you don't mind, I can give it to you
14:24so you won't make a fool of yourself.
14:27Tiffany had arrived late.
14:28She totally missed Grayson's terrifying entrant.
14:31She was just Chloe's lapdog,
14:33dressed up to snag a rich husband tonight,
14:35and she knew the easiest way to impress Chloe
14:37was to bully me.
14:39Tiffany threw her head back and cackled at her own joke.
14:42Usually, the frat boys would instantly laugh along with her.
14:44But this time, the entire ballroom just stared at her
14:47like she was suicidal.
14:48Tiffany noticed the dead silence, but she doubled down.
14:51She looked right at Grayson and smirked.
14:52Hey, you're pretty handsome.
14:54If you dump Vanessa,
14:55I wouldn't mind being your sugar mama.
14:57His words made the corner of my mouth twitch in embarrassment.
15:00She wanted to be a sugar mama?
15:02To Grayson Vance?
15:03I honestly didn't know if she was incredibly brave
15:06or just incredibly stupid.
15:08Anyone with functioning eyes could feel Grayson's terrifying billionaire aura.
15:14If I offered to be his sugar mama, he'd be thrilled.
15:17But any other woman?
15:19He would only think she was courting death.
15:21Over the years, any woman who tried to throw herself at him
15:24was never heard from again,
15:25or shipped off to some remote place and forced to marry.
15:28Tiffany finally realized the vibe was completely toxic.
15:31She nervously stepped towards Chloe for backup.
15:33But Chloe wanted absolutely nothing to do with her.
15:36Before Tiffany could even speak,
15:38Chloe spun around and slapped her viciously across the face.
15:42Tiffany crashed hard onto the marble floor.
15:45Tiffany, are you insane?
15:47You dare offend Mr. and Mrs. Vance?
15:49Do you have a death wish?
15:51Tiffany sat frozen on the floor,
15:53clutching her stinging cheek.
15:55Vanessa is Mrs. Vance.
15:57I offended Grayson Vance.
15:59She knew Grayson's ruthless reputation.
16:01She knew he destroyed anyone
16:02who even looked at his wife the wrong way.
16:04Tiffany started shaking uncontrollably.
16:06Suddenly, someone in the crowd gasped.
16:08Oh my God, look at her dress!
16:10A puddle was forming beneath her.
16:13Tiffany had literally wet herself in pure terror.
16:16Grayson didn't even blink.
16:17He just slightly frutted his brow.
16:19Two massive bodyguards immediately stepped up
16:21and dragged Tiffany out of the ballroom.
16:24Seth and Chloe's faces burned bright red.
16:26Even though Tiffany was the one getting dragged out,
16:28everyone knew she was just echoing their insults.
16:31The elite guests stared at Seth and Chloe with absolute disgust,
16:34like they were staring at clowns.
16:35Meanwhile, Grayson's on-call doctor
16:37was frantically cleaning the torn skin on my wrist.
16:40I whinsed.
16:41Just a tiny hiss of pain.
16:43Instantly, Grayson and our son glared at the doctor
16:45like they were going to execute him.
16:47You don't even know how to apply ointment properly?
16:51I immediately shot my husband and son a stern warning glare.
16:55Instantly, the terrifying billionaire and the fierce toddler melted.
16:59Vanessa.
16:59Mommy.
17:00They both looked at me with identical, pitiful puppy dog eyes.
17:04Guys, the doctor is trying to help me.
17:06Stop glaring at him.
17:08With my reassurance, the doctor let out a massive breath of relief.
17:12He finished his checkup and turned to Grayson.
17:15Mr. Vance, your wife is perfectly fine.
17:17The baby is perfectly safe.
17:19Her wrist is pretty torn up, though.
17:22I'll use our best medical ointment to prevent any scarring.
17:26Grayson didn't say a single word.
17:28I knew exactly what that meant.
17:30That was his pre-explosion silence.
17:32Standing in the crowd, Seth looked terrified.
17:35But underneath the panic,
17:36he burned with jealousy as he watched us being close.
17:40His possessiveness was peaking.
17:42But his company's survival was on the line.
17:45So he had to bite his tongue.
17:46Grayson stood up beside me,
17:49looking out over the terrified crowd of executives.
17:51He looked so lethal.
17:53But honestly, I found it kind of cute.
17:56Especially with our son standing right beside him,
17:58looking like a tiny, angry clone.
18:00I want to know exactly what happened over the last three days.
18:04If someone speaks up now,
18:06maybe you survive this.
18:09But if I have to find out myself,
18:11every single one of you is going down.
18:13It was a naked, terrifying threat.
18:15These people had fought tooth and nail
18:17just to get an invite to this gala.
18:19None of them wanted to die for Seth.
18:21Seth panicked.
18:22He desperately stepped forward to save his own skin.
18:26Mr. Vanny, it's just a huge misunderstanding.
18:29As Vanessa's fiancé, I was just catching up with her.
18:32It was just an accident.
18:35He actually used the word fiancé right to my husband's face.
18:39It was pure, delusional arrogance.
18:41He really thought I had spent the last three years staying pure for him,
18:46waiting for him to snap his fingers so I could run back.
18:48He completely ignored the murderous look crossing Grayson's face.
18:53I whipped my head around.
18:56Grayson had literally crushed his crystal whiskey glass.
19:00Bare-handed, blood was drapping down his fingers,
19:04mixing with the liquor.
19:06Grayson!
19:06I grabbed his hand, completely horrified.
19:10Seth, don't flatter yourself!
19:12Stop trying to sabotage my marriage!
19:14I think I've been way too nice to you!
19:17I only love Grayson!
19:19I grabbed a clean napkin and frantically started wrapping Grayson's bleeding hand.
19:23Seth looked genuinely hurt.
19:26Vanessa, I know you're bitter,
19:28but Chloe and I are already divorced now.
19:31Her kid is ready to call you mom.
19:34You only married this guy to make me mad, right?
19:37It's fine.
19:38I don't mind.
19:39Divorce him.
19:40Let's get married.
19:41Whatever Grayson can give you,
19:42I can work hard and give you too.
19:44Just come back and be my son's nanny.
19:46If you don't like Chloe, I'll make her leave.
19:48I honestly couldn't believe what I was hearing.
19:50His shamelessness really blew my mind.
19:53Grayson's blood was smerging onto my clothes.
19:56But as I urgently pressed the napkin to his palm,
19:59he suddenly started laughing.
20:01A low, genuinely happy laugh.
20:04Why are you laughing?
20:06Grayson reached over with his clean, uninjured hand
20:09and gently patted my head.
20:11Vanessa, you just said I'm the one you love the most.
20:15Our son literally rolled his eyes.
20:17His ruthless, terrifying dad
20:19was currently acting like a lovesick teenager
20:21just because I defended him.
20:22The entire ballroom was dead silent.
20:26Half the guests were in absolute shock.
20:28The other half were dying of envy.
20:30I could hear the frantic whispers
20:32spreading through the crowd.
20:34He is completely obsessed with his wife.
20:37Seth stood there,
20:38his fists completely clenched in humiliation.
20:40But my son wasn't done with him.
20:42Leo looked him up and down with absolute disgust.
20:45A nanny?
20:47My mommy is the princess of our house.
20:50You think you deserve her?
20:51Mommy is only having two kids,
20:54me and my little sister.
20:55You really think your shady,
20:57illegitimate kid gets to call her mom?
20:59I know all about you.
21:01You're the trash who broke my mom's heart.
21:04You're not as handsome as my dad.
21:07You're not as tall as my dad.
21:10You're not as fit as my dad.
21:13Leo pinched his little nose.
21:14And you smell cheap.
21:16It's making my eyes water.
21:19Is your kid going to grow up to be a leech
21:21who lives off women,
21:22just like you?
21:24The elite guests surrounding us
21:26erupted into laughter.
21:28Seth bit his lips so hard it bled.
21:30His chest herved with shame.
21:33Everyone in that room knew the truth.
21:36He only got executive title
21:38by leeching off off Chloe's family money.
21:40Hearing all this,
21:41Chloe completely snapped.
21:42Seth had literally just asked me to replace her.
21:45To be his son's real mother.
21:47Pure, psychotic jealousy took over.
21:50Chloe grabbed a silver steak fork
21:51off the nearest table.
21:53You little bastard!
21:55I'll kill you!
21:58I didn't even think.
22:00I let go of Grayson's hand
22:01and threw my body entirely over my son.
22:03I didn't even get to finish the sentence.
22:06Leo, are you...
22:08I collapsed to the floor.
22:10The last thing I saw
22:11was my son's terrified face.
22:14I woke up to the sharp smell
22:15of hospital bleach.
22:17Vanessa!
22:18You're finally awake!
22:20If you stayed out any longer,
22:21your husband and your son
22:22were going to turn the city upside down.
22:26I panicked and instantly touched
22:28my pregnant belly.
22:29You're fine.
22:30The baby is perfectly fine.
22:31The doctor said you fainted
22:33from the shock and the pain.
22:34That psycho bitch
22:35actually tried to stab a toddler.
22:39Slow down.
22:40Honestly, Vanessa,
22:41you were way too impulsive.
22:43Grayson had ten bodyguards
22:45in that room.
22:45They would have stopped her.
22:47Leo didn't need you
22:48to take a fork for him.
22:49He's a fierce little guy.
22:51He's my baby.
22:52Of course I protected him.
22:57Where are they?
22:59Maya's eyes lit up.
23:01Getting revenge, obviously.
23:04I wanted to go watch.
23:05But your husband?
23:06Your husband and your kid
23:07are literally terrifying.
23:11So I stayed here.
23:12Is staying with me a chore?
23:14I raised an eyebrow.
23:16Maya rolled her eyes.
23:17Vanessa, you don't even know.
23:19When I got to the gala,
23:20you were already unconscious.
23:22Your sweet, soft little boy?
23:23He grabbed a fork
23:24and stabbed it
23:25right into Chloe's hand.
23:26I didn't even know
23:27a toddler could have
23:28that much strength.
23:29And Grayson?
23:31He looked like
23:31the devil incarnate.
23:33Maya leaned in,
23:34her voice dropping
23:35to a whisper.
23:36Grayson found out
23:37what happened
23:37at the airport.
23:38He found out
23:39Seth slapped you
23:40and broke your bracelet.
23:41He had his bodyguards
23:42pin Seth to the floor.
23:47And he severed the hand
23:48that hit you.
23:49Leo just stood there
23:51and watched.
23:51Didn't even blink.
23:53He's a terrifying
23:54little demon.
23:55Then they beat Seth's face
23:56into an unrecognizable plus.
23:58But that wasn't
23:59even the worst part.
24:00Grayson found out
24:01Chloe wanted your diamonds.
24:02So he had his men
24:03bring out a massive bucket
24:04of raw, raw, uncut diamonds.
24:05He looked at her and said,
24:06You love taking things
24:07that don't belong to you?
24:08I'll give you
24:09exactly what you want.
24:10The diamonds.
24:12And my wife's leftovers.
