Short filmTranscript
00:00I had meticulously planned our ninth wedding anniversary party even going so far as to invite
00:07numerous friends and guests to celebrate with us. Before the party began, I found myself upstairs
00:13outside the study door, watching my husband with his arms wrapped around his secretary.
00:18Natalie was nestled against Jack's chest, her face flushed with post-intimacy satisfaction.
00:24When are you going to make our relationship public? Natalie asked breathlessly, her voice
00:29sultry as she melted against Jack's embrace. Jack took her hand in his. Soon, he replied.
00:36When Jack spotted me, his expression immediately turned serious.He grabbed the wine glass beside
00:41him and hurled it in my direction, striking me square in the forehead. Who gave you permission
00:46to spy on us? I clutched my bleeding head, stumbling and tumbling down the stairs, curling up in pain
00:53at the bottom.He and Natalie stood on the second floor, looking down at me with disdain. Natalie
00:58is carrying my child. From now on, you take care of her meals. Three different dishes every day,
01:06no repeats. You help her have a safe delivery. And pack your things. Move from our bedroom to the
01:15guest room. You're nothing more than Natalie's nanny now. I said nothing, struggling to my feet and
01:21grabbing the suitcase I had already packed. I walked calmly toward the front door. The butler moved to
01:26stop me, but Jack laughed coldly. Let her make a scene. She could never bear to leave me. Mark my
01:34words. Within three days, she'll come crawling back, begging for my forgiveness. As soon as he finished
01:42speaking, the guest's present began to snicker. Just as I was about to step out of the mansion,
01:48Jack suddenly called after me. Leave your cross necklace behind. Natalie's been having nightmares
01:55lately. That necklace was all I had left of my parents. Meeting my tear-filled eyes, his tone
02:00remained ice cold. How much money will it take for you to give Natalie that necklace? Nine years of
02:07marriage, living like dirt beneath his feet. What was that worth? I couldn't be bothered to calculate,
02:13but I knew that if I didn't comply and hand over the necklace, he'd fly into a rage and have
02:18his
02:18bodyguards take it by force. Just like the last time they'd stolen my other belongings, I removed
02:24the necklace and fastened it around Natalie's neck, saying to her, I wish you and the baby
02:30your caring health and safety. Hearing this blessing, Jack's expression softened slightly,
02:37offering me a small concession. As long as you behave yourself, my child will be your child too.
02:44The moment he finished speaking, the necklace around Natalie's neck suddenly slipped and shattered
02:49on the floor. Seeing that the fragments had cut Natalie's leg, Jack immediately swept her up in his
02:54arms, carrying her princess style to a chair while barking orders at the butler to call the family
03:00doctor. His frantic concern made everyone present look at me with barely concealed amusement.
03:05The whole scene was so absurd that even I found it ridiculous sigh in his eyes, even if his wife
03:10were dying. It wouldn't matter as much as his mistress getting a tiny scratch, I gripped the
03:15handle of my suitcase tighter and turned to leave, but Jack grabbed my wrist, his voice frigid.
03:21Apologize.
03:22What? Before I could finish, he dragged me down, forcing me to my knees beside Natalie's feet.
03:27Damn, my knees scraped against the jade fragments, blood staining the white marble floor.
03:32Seeing the blood, Jack's eyes flashed with disgust, and he released his grip.
03:37You deliberately sabotaged Natalie's necklace and injured her.Don't you owe her an apology?
03:44After nine years of marriage to Jack, I'm sorry, had become practically my catchphrase.
03:49I bit my lower lip until I tasted blood, then resignedly stood up and bowed deeply to Natalie,
03:54saying I'm sorry, three times before looking at Jack with detached indifference.
03:59Is that enough? He stared at the blood on my lips, his chest visibly rising and falling.
04:06Stop putting on that disgusting pitiful act. Before I could respond, the family doctor arrived
04:12in a rush, Jack shoved me aside and led the doctor to Natalie's side, while his attention
04:17was completely focused on her, I quickly walked out of the mansion, just as I reached the entrance.
04:22I heard two crisp car horns. Seeing the Maybach outside the iron gates, I quickened my pace,
04:28but before the gates could fully open, two bodyguards suddenly rushed out and forcibly dragged me back
04:33into the mansion. They brought me to the study, where Jack tied me to a chair and ordered the staff
04:40to use a thick needle to draw my blood. Through the half-open door, I heard the doctor speaking to
04:45Jack.
04:45Both Mrs. Evelyn and Miss Natalie have her negative blood type. But Mrs. Evelyn has a history of
04:55congenital heart disease. Forcibly drawing blood could trigger acute shock. I suggest we transfer
05:04her to a hospital first, before giving Miss Natalie the transfusion for her anemia.
05:11Don't try to persuade me otherwise, Jack's voice was ice cold. Your job is to make Natalie better.
05:18I'll handle everything else. Hearing Jack's approaching footsteps, I slowly closed my eyes.
05:25Does it hurt? His tone carried a rare note of comfort. Just bear with it a little longer.
05:31We'll be done soon. I turned my head away, too tired to waste words on him. After drawing 800
05:38milliliters of blood, my lips had turned purple just then, Natalie's coughing echoed from the
05:43master bedroom. Jack immediately stopped the doctor from removing the needle. Demanding double the
05:48amount, the doctor was sweating profusely as he tried to dissuade him, saying that drawing more
05:53blood might kill me. Jack hesitated for two seconds before saying only.
05:57Natalie is pregnant. Her needs come first.
06:01But. I interrupted the doctor.
06:04Try it. Just let me leave afterward.
06:08Jack looked at my bloodless face, anger churning in his eyes, but he opened his mouth as if to ask
06:13whether I really intended to make such a scene by running away from home, but Natalie's sweet
06:17call of my darling instantly pulled his attention away, and I passed out from blood loss. I woke up on
06:23a hospital bed. Having just recovered from shock due to severe blood loss, I saw Jack sitting beside the
06:29bed. Reviewing documents, after we stared at each other for a long moment, he expressionlessly brought
06:34over a bowl of oatmeal and tried to feed me, I shook my head. I can do it myself.
06:40Watching me eat half the bowl, Jack asked. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?
06:45I deflected his question. Give me my phone.
06:49Perhaps my tone was too distant, because he froze for a few seconds before having the butler bring my
06:55phone over. Seeing the string of missed calls on my phone, Jack asked out of nowhere.
06:59Who called?
07:00He never asked about such things before to a flash of irritation crossed my eyes as I simply said.
07:06No one you know.
07:08Jack loosened the top button of his shirt and looked down at me.
07:11How long are you going to keep throwing this tantrum? Besides me, who else would put up with your
07:19terrible attitude? In the past, whenever he got angry, I would always reflect on my own behavior
07:25while trying my best to appease him. But now, I simply pointed at his vibrating phone and reminded
07:31him emotionlessly.
07:33Natalie's calling you.
07:35Hearing this, Jack's eyes immediately lit up with joy. Out of habit, he stepped away from me and went
07:41into the hallway to take the call. As soon as he left, my phone rang. When I answered, the person
07:48on
07:48the other end spoke urgently before I could say anything.
07:52Weren't you supposed to come find me? Are you having second thoughts?
07:56No. I'm not having second thoughts. There was just an accident.
08:02An accident? What happened to you? I need to come back to the country immediately.
08:09I interrupted his rambling, looking down and pressing my lips together.
08:13Just give me a few more days.
08:15When Jack returned to the room, I had just hung up the phone. He caught sight of the long-absent
08:21smile at the corner of my mouth and felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest. But he had
08:28promised to go back and sing lullabies to Natalie and the baby, so he didn't have time to ask who
08:35I'd
08:35been talking to. It must have been that cousin who often visited me, after marrying into this family,
08:42my social circle. Circle had been reduced to only female relatives. He picked up his documents and
08:49said without looking back. I have some business at the company. I'll come back tomorrow. But tomorrow,
08:56the day after, and the day after. That, he never appeared. Instead, through mutual friends,
09:03I kept receiving videos of him and Natalie together. He took Natalie to galas and dinner parties. Like a
09:11lovesick teenager, eager to introduce her to everyone. On the day I was discharged from the
09:17hospital, Jack posted a nine-photo grid on Instagram. Under the sunset, he stood on a hot air balloon,
09:25cupping Natalie's flushed face as they shared a passionate kiss. I commented, wishing you both many
09:32children. And eternal happiness. Ten minutes later, Jack called me. I didn't answer. Half an hour later,
09:41I completed my discharge. Paperwork alone. Outside the hospitals. Maternity ward, I ran into Jack and
09:49Natalie. They were being intimate again, completely. Oblivious to their surroundings. Jack's hand.
09:56Moved to cup Natalie's breast, caressing her. I heard a nurse say to Natalie, Mrs. Davis,
10:04your husband is so good to you. He accompanies you to every prenatal checkup. When you had the
10:10ultrasound, he worried the gel might be cold. He warmed it in advance before we used it. Pregnant
10:16women nearby looked at her with envy. Instinctively, I touched my abdomen. I remembered there had once
10:23been a small life there. After a car accident caused my miscarriage and severe bleeding.
10:28I cried and video called Jack. On the screen appeared Natalie, completely naked.
10:34Mrs. Dot Davis, she said sweetly. Jack lost a game to me and is tied to the bed as punishment.
10:42Did you need him for something? I said nothing and hung up. Less than a minute later,
10:47Jack called back. Natalie was in his arms, eyes red. Pretending to be wronged. He yelled at me
10:54viciously. Calling me petty and stupid beyond belief. He said,
10:59A useless woman. Who couldn't even keep her own child. I'm curious what you're capable of.
11:07Evelyn, you might as well. Have been killed by that truck.
11:13I pulled myself back to the present. I tried to walk away. But Jack approached with a cold face.
11:21What are you standing here for? I lowered my head instinctively.
11:25I wasn't following you. We just happened to meet. Sorry for disturbing you.
11:32Wait. Jack frowned and stopped me. Jealousy flashed in Natalie's eyes.
11:37She tightened her grip on his arm and smiled at me. Evelyn, thank you for the blood transfusion.
11:44Otherwise, I'd still be dizzy. Jack, let her come home with us, all right?
11:49Jack dotingly tapped her nose. The kindest mom-toe in the world. I'll listen to you.
11:56I had planned to return to the villa to get my remaining belongings.
11:59So I didn't refuse her kindness. Inside the spacious black sedan. I quickly noticed something.
12:07A lace panty, still warm. Lay between the seats.
12:11Oh my tilde why is this still here? Jack, didn't you say you'd taken care of it?
12:18Natalie bit her lip and nestled into his arms. She shyly pounded his chest.
12:23Jack chuckled and coaxed her. He apologized for his carelessness while secretly watching my expression.
12:30But he saw no anger at all. Instead, the irritation from the hospital room resurfaced.
12:37Evelyn, you. V.E. been on your phone since getting in.
12:42His tone was unpleasant. Edged with subtle jealousy.
12:46Are you chatting with your cousin? Or someone else I don't know?
12:50I finished booking my flight and turned off the screen.
12:54Just reading the news.
12:56That answer only deepened his displeasure.
12:59He suddenly grabbed my phone.
13:01Passwords.
13:02My birthday.
13:04After nine years of marriage.
13:06That simple six-digit number.
13:08He tried until the lock screen disabled itself.
13:12He still couldn't unlock it.
13:14The entire drive passed in silence.
13:16When the car reached the Beverly Hills Villa, Jack immediately helped the nauseous Natalie inside.
13:23Escorting her carefully to the master bedroom.
13:27He instructed the chef to prepare blueberry.
13:30Pancakes and grilled salmon.
13:33Her favorites.
13:34As he came downstairs.
13:36He saw my lonely figure heading toward the guest room.
13:40After a moment's hesitation, he added.
13:42Make two more dishes.
13:45Grilled lamb chops and vegetable salad.
13:48Evelyn's favorites.
13:50Set three places for dinner.
13:52Inside the guest room, I opened my suitcase.
13:55Every piece of clothing inside had been cut into shreds.
13:59Thankfully, the passport and documents hidden in the lining were untouched.
14:04I gathered my documents and prepared to leave.
14:07Natalie blocked the doorway.
14:09She held a black glass bottle, her gaze sweeping.
14:13Over me with undisguised contempt.
14:16Evelyn, I didn't expect you to endure this so well.
14:19I pushed you out, made you a joke among high society.
14:23Yet you still cling shamelessly to, the Davis family.
14:27Well, your grandmother, just passed away last month.
14:31Without a protector, of course you'd grab Jack like a lifeline.
14:35Natalie suddenly smiled, as if recalling something triumphant.
14:41Oh, do you remember?
14:43When you begged Jack to fly you to New York to, see your grandmother one last time.
14:48Why do you think he refused?
14:50Because that day, he promised to watch the, Malibu sunset with me.
14:54Look, this photo on my phone was taken then.
14:57I finally snapped and slapped the phone from her hand.
15:00The glass bottle slipped from Natalie's grip.
15:03A sharp smell of gasoline instantly filled the room.
15:07In the chaos, a panicked Natalie somehow.
15:10Ignited the fuel on the floor.
15:13Thick smoke billowed as flames surged upward.
15:15Just discharged from the hospital, I was quickly overwhelmed.
15:19My body went limp, and I collapsed to the ground.
15:22In a haze, I heard Jack shouting.
15:26Evelyn.
15:26Then came the servant's frantic voices.
15:29Sir, it's too dangerous.
15:31Wait for security to her.
15:33Bring the fire extinguishers.
15:34Move.
15:35Jack roared.
15:36Evelyn is still in sight.
15:38He charged into the flames, unaware that Natalie was there too.
15:42Jack, save me.
15:44The moment Natalie cried out, Jack lifted her.
15:47Without hesitation.
15:49He didn't look at me once.
15:51Turning around, he rushed out with her.
15:55Half an hour later, after calming Natalie down.
15:58Jack searched the entire villa.
16:01He never found me.
16:03Late at night.
16:04At Los Angeles International.
16:06Airport.
16:07I mailed a package.
16:09Coughing, clutching my chest, I boarded a flight to London.
16:13As the plane prepared for takeoff, my phone.
16:16Buzzed with a message from Jack.
16:18I don't have time for hide-and-seek.
16:21Natalie's prenatal checkup is tomorrow at 10.
16:24Come along, get your lungs checked.
16:27I didn't reply.
16:29I removed the SIM card and powered the phone off completely.
16:33Jack, from this moment on, we owe each other nothing.
16:36We will never meet again.
16:38The next morning, at the hospital, Natalie held Jack's hand, looking fragile.
16:43Jack, our baby is okay, right?
16:45Jack immediately wrapped an arm around her.
16:48The doctor said the baby is very healthy.
16:52Yesterday's fire didn't affect anything.
16:55That's wonderful.
16:56You looked so gloomy.
16:58When we arrived, I thought something had happened to the baby.
17:01Her casual words made Jack pause.
17:04Unbidden, Evelyn's cold, indifferent eyes in the flames flashed through his mind.
17:09Frowning.
17:11He opened his messages.
17:13I still hadn't replied.
17:15No matter how he ignored her before, she always responded immediately.
17:20Now she'd learn to put on airs.
17:22He scoffed inwardly.
17:24He escorted Natalie out of obstetrics.
17:27They had lunch together.
17:29After sending her home, he headed to the office.
17:32As soon as he arrived, a subordinate rushed over.
17:35Mr. Davis, old Mr. Davis has returned to the country.
17:41He wants all executives in.
17:43Conference room won immediately.
17:45As Jack walked, he said casually.
17:48Buy several of the latest Chanel bags.
17:51And Tiffany jewelry.
17:53The subordinate answered quickly.
17:56Yes, sir.
17:57Deliver them directly to Miss Natalie's residence.
18:01Jack stopped and rubbed his temples.
18:04Send them to Evelyn's grandmother's old house.
18:09In his mind, after leaving him, I had nowhere else to go.
18:12A week later, late at night, Jack returned to the villa after finishing a project.
18:17He saw a slender figure curled up on the living room sofa.
18:23Evelyn, how many times have I told you?
18:26I'll come back when I'm done.
18:28You don't need to wait every...
18:30Stepping closer, he saw it was Natalie.
18:33The complaint died on his lips.
18:36Under his cold gaze, Natalie shivered.
18:39Jack, Mrs. Dot, Evelyn hasn't come back.
18:42I sent so many apology messages.
18:45She won't reply.
18:46Maybe I should move out.
18:48Seeing her reddened eyes, Jack frowned and pulled her into his arms.
18:52He perfunctorily kissed her forehead.
18:55Don't overthink it.
18:56Take care of yourself and the baby.
18:59Whether Evelyn accepts it or not.
19:02This will be your home, you and the child.
19:05Half an hour later, Jack stood alone on the open balcony in a bathrobe, smoking.
19:10He had quit long ago.
19:13Tonight, he couldn't control himself.
19:15On impulse, he scrolled to the bottom of his contacts.
19:19He found my number.
19:21His thumb hovered over the call button for a long time.
19:24After two cigarettes, he didn't call.
19:27He only sent a warning text.
19:30Evelyn, tomorrow is grandfather's 80th birthday banquet that don't cause trouble and implicate Natalie and the child.
19:38On the day of the banquet, Jack arrived with Natalie, high profile and intimate.
19:43Only when old Mr. Davis entered did he release her.
19:46He went to his grandfather's side to greet guests.
19:49Why didn't Evelyn come with you?
19:51Old Mr. Davis asked pointedly.
19:54Jack pressed his lips together.
19:56Rarely, he spoke up for me.
19:59Sorry, Grandpa.
20:01Evelyn has been preparing your gift.
20:03She's exhausted.
20:05So I told her to rest and come later.
20:08Two hours passed.
20:10The banquet reached the gift-giving finale.
20:13I still hadn't appeared.
20:15Suppressing the growing unease in his chest, Jack went to a corner and called me.
20:19Only a mechanical voice answered.
20:22Hello.
20:23The number you have dialed is powered off.
20:25He refused to give up and kept redialing.
20:28The result was the same every time.
20:31At that moment, a courier entered the banquet hall.
20:34He delivered three gifts I had sent.
20:37Under everyone's gaze, old Mr. Davis smiled and opened the first gift.
20:42It was an old Davis family photo album.
20:45One I had personally restored and reassembled.
20:48Grandfather's eyes reddened.
20:50He then opened the second gift.
20:53Inside was the heirloom sapphire necklace.
20:56Passed down from the Davis grandmother.
20:59The moment it appeared, the hall fell silent.
21:03In high society, returning ancestral jewelry.
21:06Means cutting all ties.
21:08Everyone present understood this clearly.
21:11Before old Mr. Davis could recover, Jack walked.
21:15To the third gift.
21:17His face was ashen as he tore open the lid.
21:20The box was large.
21:22Inside were only a divorce agreement and a medical examination report.
21:27Jack froze.
21:29Divorce?
21:29She wanted to divorce him?
21:32Impossible.
21:33After seeing the report, old Mr. Davis slapped Jack hard across the face.
21:39He trembled with rage.
21:40You bastard.
21:42Look at what you've done.
21:44If I'd known, I would never have let you marry Evelyn.
21:47You ruined her entire life.
21:50The guests hurried to support the nearly fainting old man.
21:54They tactfully withdrew one after another.
21:57Jack stood motionless, staring at the divorce papers.
22:01After a long while, he expressionlessly tore them to shreds.
22:06Ignoring Natalie's cries, he took the car keys.
22:09From the driver.
22:11He drove to the estate himself.
22:15The estate was pitch dark inside and out.
22:18He rolled down the window and waited at the gate all night.
22:21He smoked until his throat swelled and his voice.
22:25Turned hoarse.
22:26The lights never came on.
22:28It wasn't until the fifth day after the banquet.
22:31That Jack confirmed I had already left the country.
22:34Why did I leave?
22:36Did I really want so badly?
22:38Never to see him again?
22:40He'd only made a mistake any man might make.
22:43What right did she have to leave at will?
22:46To demand a divorce?
22:47He would never allow it.
22:49After enormous effort, he finally found my address.
22:53Jack immediately booked the earliest flight.
22:56He didn't go home to pack.
22:58He went straight from the office to the airport.
23:01Just as he was about to check in, Natalie.
23:04Chased after him, eyes brimming with tears.
23:07Jack, are you abandoning me and our baby?
23:10She stroked her slightly rounded belly.
23:12Her voice trembling.
23:13Jack glanced at her stomach.
23:15He gently rubbed her head.
23:17I've had my assistant prepare.
23:19A new apartment for you.
23:21Move there today.
23:24I don't want a new apartment.
23:26I just want to be with you.
23:28Natalie burst into tears.
23:30Our child is innocent.
23:31If Evelyn truly loved you, she would accept this baby.
23:35She embarrassed you at the banquet.
23:38She made the Davis family lose face.
23:40She doesn't truly love you at all.
23:43You have no right to judge my wife.
23:45Jack cut in coldly.
23:47Natalie, I thought you were sensible.
23:50Clearly, you don't know your place.
23:53He took the boarding pass from the staff but he looked down at her.
23:57No matter how many children I have, Evelyn will always be my only wife.
24:02When you move out, take everything with you.
24:05I don't want Evelyn to see any trace of you when she returns.
24:11Natalie stood frozen, watching his retreating figure.
24:14She cried out.
24:15Jack Davis, you're even more naive than I am.
24:18You hurt her so deeply.
24:21How could she ever come back?
24:23Jack didn't slow his steps.
24:24He didn't take her words to heart at all.
24:26He knew Evelyn.
24:27I in nine years.
24:28No matter how angry she was, a sincere apology and gifts she liked always worked.
24:33This time, though, she'd escalated it to divorce.
24:36Ordinary gifts clearly wouldn't be enough.
24:39After arriving in London, Jack went straight to a tattoo studio that he took out a design
24:44I'd sent him five years ago.
24:46I'm in a hurry.
24:48He told the tattoo artist.
24:50No anesthesia.
24:51Seven hours later, Jack walked out wearing a blood-stained white shirt.
24:57He bought jewelry worth tens of millions and 999 white roses.
25:02After nearly 48 hours without sleep, he personally drove to a vineyard outside London.
25:09On the highway, he rehearsed his apology again and again.
25:12No matter how he thought about it, his first words should be,
25:17Evelyn, I miss you so much.
25:20At last, he found me at the vineyard.
25:23But the roses in his hands crashed to the ground the moment he saw me.
25:27Under the sunset, I was held in the arms of a tall, handsome man.
25:32I wore a relaxed smile Jack had never seen before.
25:35We fed each other fresh grapes, flirting playfully.
25:39Jack never managed to say, I missed you.
25:42He only stared blankly and asked,
25:45Who is he?
25:46Sensing my body tense slightly, the man tightened his hold around me.
25:50He looked at Jack with open provocation.
25:51So you're Jack Davis.
25:56I've seen your wedding photos with Evelyn.
25:59Honestly, you look much worse in person than in the pictures.
26:04His words made me laugh and the tension eased.
26:07Jack felt as if a heavy hammer struck his chest.
26:09He clenched his fists unconsciously, his nails digging into his palms.
26:13Since you came all this way, let me introduce myself.
26:22Jack cut in, his tone scornful.
26:25You're the son of the driver.
26:27My wife's grandmother once took in.
26:30The ungrateful wretch kicked out for stealing.
26:33Noah raised an eyebrow indifferently, unprovoked.
26:36But I frowned and stepped in front of him.
26:39Jack, Noah isn't what you say.
26:43And why are you here?
26:44You trespassed on private property.
26:49That's illegal.
26:52Hearing that I was driving him away, Jack's expression changed sharply.
26:55He forgot he'd come to apologize and spoke harshly.
26:59Evelyn, I came all this way.
27:02Stop being childish and come home with me.
27:06Home?
27:07I looked at him like an idiot.
27:10Did you hit your head?
27:11I've already divorced you.
27:14Didn't you see the signed divorce papers?
27:17I was considering printing another copy for him, then he said arrogantly.
27:22I tore that useless paper out long ago.
27:25Evelyn, I know you're angry about Natalie.
27:29I've dealt with it.
27:30I guarantee she'll never appear in front of you again.
27:35Jack hurried toward me, reaching for my face.
27:38I shoved him away.
27:39Mr. Davis, when the Cole family fell on hard times, only the Davis family helped.
27:47During nine years of marriage, I was repaying that debt.
27:52Now, Natalie is carrying your child.
27:56The Davis family has an heir.
27:59I sincerely wish you happiness.
28:02Jack heard the finality in my tone to AT that moment.
28:06He truly panicked.
28:09Darling, how can you say that?
28:11These nine years with me, were they really just about repaying a debt?
28:17I don't believe it.
28:18He didn't believe it.
28:20If she hadn't loved him, why would she pout for?
28:23A kiss every morning before leaving?
28:26Why would she cry until her eyes swelled?
28:28Waiting outside the operating room during his surgery?
28:31Everyone had seen how deeply she loved him.
28:35And what about him?
28:36He trampled her dignity again and again.
28:39He slowly wore her love away.
28:42Jack's eyes reddened, his voice breaking.
28:44Evelyn, I truly didn't know Natalie's.
28:48Existence would hurt you this much.
28:50She and I were just a drunken mistake.
28:54Bringing her home worse.
28:56Only out of responsibility.
28:58After she gives birth, I'll send her abroad.
29:02She'll disappear forever.
29:05Alright?
29:06I shook my head firmly.
29:08Jack, I don't care what you and Natalie are.
29:12I have a new life here.
29:14I won't go back with you.
29:16You should leave.
29:17What new life?
29:18You.
29:19Overcome by anger, exhaustion, and blood loss.
29:23From the tattoo, Jack blacked out mid-sentence.
29:27When he woke again, it was 11 p.m.
29:30Seeing the glass of water by the bed, he assumed it was from me.
29:35Delighted, he left the room.
29:36Forcing himself to search for me.
29:39Climbing to the rooftop terrace, drenched in cold sweat, he froze.
29:44What he saw was me and Noah, locked in a tender kiss, holding each other tightly.
29:49A sharp pain pierced his heart.
29:51Jack lunged forward, grabbing Noah by the collar.
29:55Through clenched teeth, he roared.
29:57What did you do to Evelyn?
30:00She's my wife.
30:01Your wife.
30:02Noah laughed.
30:03He swung a punch, landing hard on Jack's left cheek.
30:08Jack Davis.
30:09Did you ever truly cherish Evelyn?
30:12If Evelyn weren't kind, I'd have thrown trash.
30:15Like you to the wolves long ago.
30:18Listen carefully.
30:19Evelyn is my fiancé now.
30:22No matter how you cling.
30:24It's useless.
30:25Jack released his grip, staring at me in disbelief.
30:30Is what he said true?
30:32We've been apart less than a month.
30:35You already accepted someone.
30:37Elsa's proposal?
30:38I didn't tell him the truth.
30:41That the day I learned Natalie was pregnant, I'd already accepted Noah's proposal over a
30:46trans-oceanic video call.
30:48I simply leaned lazily against Noah's shoulder and smiled.
30:52Yes.
30:53Jack's face turned deathly pale.
30:55His voice trembled.
30:57Evelyn, are you insane?
30:59I never agreed to the divorce.
31:02How dare you be with another man?
31:04Does your consent matter?
31:06I raised an eyebrow.
31:08Jack.
31:09You think far too highly of yourself.
31:13I'll say this one last time.
31:16In my heart, you're worth nothing.
31:20Between us, it's completely over.
31:23Hand in hand with Noah, fingers interlaced, I turned back to admire the moon.
31:28I completely ignored the shattered Jack.
31:31No one knew when he left.
31:33No one cared.
31:35But he didn't return home.
31:38Instead, he bought a high-rise apartment near the vineyard.
31:42Every day, aside from remote meetings, he drove to the gate with different flowers and
31:48gifts I'd once mentioned but never received.
31:51I neither acknowledged him nor altered my schedule.
31:55Nine years of humiliation taught me one thing.
31:57A woman should never change her life trajectory.
32:01For anyone.
32:02Work when it's time to work.
32:05Socialize when it's time to socialize.
32:07Happiness comes first.
32:09I assumed old Mr. Davis was pressuring him to stay.
32:13So I called old Mr. Davis myself.
32:16I explained that I was engaged and had a new life.
32:19I asked him not to force Jack into pointless persistence.
32:22Yet after the call, Jack still waited outside the vineyard.
32:27For an entire month.
32:29Just to glimpse me through his car window.
32:32The first to lose patience was Noah.
32:34Late one night, after returning from a party.
32:38We saw Jack under a streetlight.
32:40He stood there holding white roses, waiting for me.
32:43The moment I stepped out of the car, rainbow fireworks exploded across the sky.
32:50Noah had seen countless videos of Jack proposing to me.
32:54Back then, I'd accepted because of fireworks.
32:57Just like these.
32:59Already insecure, Noah rushed at Jack.
33:01The two began fighting.
33:04Jack Davis.
33:05You shameless third party.
33:07You cling to my fiancé every day.
33:10You're like a piece of gum I can't shake off.
33:13I'm gum.
33:14Jack snapped back.
33:16You're nothing but a backup.
33:17I was with Evelyn for nine years.
33:20If she hadn't lost her fertility in that car accident.
33:26I never have let Natalie keep the child.
33:29She just misunderstood me.
33:32Once I win her back, she'll break off the engagement with you immediately.
33:37Hearing this, Noah laughed in fury.
33:40He punched Jack to the ground.
33:42When I miscarried in that accident, Noah abandoned all his work to care for me until I recovered.
33:48Jack, meanwhile, claimed he was busy.
33:51And took Natalie on vacation to Prague.
33:54Touring the entire city with her.
33:56The two fought fiercely until two police.
33:59Officers happened to pass by.
34:02One recognized Jack, stopped the fight.
34:06And escorted the three of us to a nearby hospital.
34:10At the hospital, I focused entirely on Noah's injuries.
34:14Yet the police, citing mediation, pushed me into Jack's ward.
34:19Only then did I realize.
34:21This was a trap Jack had set, just to be alone with me.
34:25I couldn't help laughing.
34:26Was this really necessary?
34:29Jack, with two broken ribs, smiled at me with reddened eyes.
34:33His voice was hoarse.
34:35Evelyn, I miss you so much.
34:37When the doctor came to treat him, I saw the tattoo on his chest, the sun, the moon, and the
34:43stars.
34:44A family of three.
34:45Design I had drawn myself when I was pregnant.
34:48I remembered his cold words back then.
34:51The moon, you think you're worthy?
34:53After Noah was sent away, Jack grabbed my wrist, refusing to let go.
34:58Evelyn, I'm sorry.
34:59It's all my fault.
35:01I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
35:06I only ask for your forgiveness.
35:08His phone suddenly rang.
35:10It was Natalie.
35:11Jack answered and turned on the speaker without hesitation.
35:14Jack, help.
35:15Your assistant broke into my apartment and took me to the hospital.
35:19They're going to remove our baby.
35:21Her screams were hysterical.
35:25Jack remained expressionless, smiling only at me.
35:29Natalie, I know you drugged me back then.
35:32This child can't stay.
35:34And the rumors you paid trolls to spread about.
35:38Evelyn being infertile.
35:40I've deleted them all.
35:42The price for slandering my wife is this.
35:45No.
35:46Anesthesia during surgery.
35:49And you'll never be able to conceive again.
35:52Terrified screams and pleas erupted from the phone.
35:55I frowned instinctively.
35:57Jack immediately hung up.
35:59He pressed my hand against his cheek and said tenderly.
36:02When the surgery video arrives and you see her punished, could you forgive me just a little?
36:10I pulled my hand back, my tone flat.
36:13This hospital has an excellent psychiatric department.
36:17You should make an appointment.
36:20Jack smiled weakly.
36:22All right, I'll listen to you.
36:23He believed that as long as he made amends, I would return.
36:27But he didn't know, some wounds, once inflicted, can never be undone.
36:33Three days later, Noah and I held a grand wedding.
36:36When Jack sped to the church after hearing the news, the white-haired priest had just finished.
36:42The vows.
36:44He watched with his own eyes as I, in a white gown, smiled and said to Noah.
36:50I do.
36:51No.
36:52Evelyn, you can't marry him.
36:55Jack's heart shattered.
36:56He collapsed onto the red carpet, kneeling like a drenched stray dog, begging desperately.
37:02Evelyn, don't divorce me.
37:04I never wanted a divorce.
37:07Please don't marry someone else.
37:09I looked down at him, disgust unmistakable in my eyes.
37:13For Mr. Davis' sake, I won't hold you.
37:18Accountable, for disrupting my wedding.
37:21But you are not welcome here.
37:23Go back where you came from.
37:25I know I was wrong, Evelyn.
37:28Give me one more chance, I'll change.
37:31Jack burst into tears, screaming his confession.
37:34I can't leave without you.
37:37Since you left, I think of you every day.
37:39In my dreams, it's all your kindness.
37:44Evelyn, I love you.
37:46I love you more than anyone.
37:48He tore open his shirt, pointing at the bleeding tattoo on his chest, eyes blazing red.
37:54You are my moon, Evelyn.
37:56I'll give you anything, just don't abandon me.
38:01I couldn't help laughing.
38:03Meeting his shattered gaze, I said calmly.
38:06Jack, I already have someone who loves me, and whom I love.
38:13He is my husband, Noah.
38:15Even if every man in the world died, I would never be with you again.
38:21As Noah slid a 9-karat diamond ring firmly onto my ring finger, Jack felt his blood freeze.
38:28When Noah lifted me in his arms and walked toward our honeymoon car, a hoarse scream erupted behind us.
38:35Jack grabbed the silver cake knife and stabbed it into his own chest.
38:39Through blood and tears, he howled.
38:41You're just afraid of being hurt again.
38:44I'm showing you my heart, look at it, Evelyn.
38:48Darling, lunatics are terrifying.
38:52Take me away.
38:54I said softly, clinging to Noah.
38:57Noah gently placed me in the passenger seat and kissed my forehead.
39:02My wife, let's elope to the Maldives.
39:05Okay.
39:06I smiled, leaning against his shoulder.
39:10The engine roared.
39:11The sports car sped toward a sunlit horizon, leaving all the ugliness and misery far behind.
39:18My happiness had only just begun.
