Short filmTranscript
00:00Silas's lips crashed against mine. His hands tangled in my hair. His body pressed
00:05me against the wall. He whispered against my neck. Suddenly erupted a frantic
00:11knocking. Silas pulled away, irritation flashing across his face.
00:15What the hell is it? Sir, Miss Delina isn't feeling well. She wants you to come see her.
00:20I'll be right back. Grabbing his shirt from the floor and rushed out.
00:25Silas! I'll be right back. I followed him to the doorway. Silas, seven years into
00:29my cohabitation with Silas, he inherited everything from his dead brother. Including
00:34his widow, Selina. Every time Silas finished sleeping with Selina, he'd hold me and whisper
00:40reassurances. Jane, just wait a little longer. Once Selina's pregnant, we'll have the wedding.
00:46This was the Sterling family's only requirement for his inheritance. Six months back in New
00:51York, Silas visited Selina's room 52 times. Finally, word came that Selina was pregnant.
00:57But with it came another announcement. Silas and Selina's wedding.
01:01Mommy, is someone getting married? I stared at the wedding decorations filling the house,
01:06and pulled my confused son into my arms. Yes, daddy's marrying the person he loves,
01:12so we should move out. After putting my son to bed, I opened my phone to book tickets back home.
01:17The earliest flight was on February 14th. Valentine's Day, the seventh anniversary of my
01:23cohabitation with Silas. Fate seemed to have a plan. My lips twisted into something bitter.
01:29Fine. What began on this day should end on this day.
01:33Suddenly, I was held, and Silas's gentle voice came from above.
01:37What are you looking at?
01:40I clicked the screen off instantly. Just jewelry news?
01:44In just six months, Selina's perfume had completely saturated him. I pushed him away with disgust.
01:50Go take a shower before you talk to me. Silas sniffed himself.
01:54I'll go now. I've been neglecting you lately. That's on me. I won't go to Selina's room these
02:01next few days. The bathroom door flew open and Silas walked out, dripping, wrapped in a towel.
02:06For a moment, I saw him from seven years ago, climbing to my window, covered in night dew. Triumphant,
02:13like he wanted to show the whole world. Jane, from today on, you're mine.
02:20For the rest of my life, it's just you and me. Forever.
02:23Seeing me stare blankly at him, Silas grinned and pulled me into his arms.
02:27Jane, tonight I'm only with you. I'm not going anywhere.
02:31My eyes dropped with something like disappointment. The man before me was no longer that man.
02:37A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts. Sir, Miss Selina isn't feeling well. She wants
02:43you to come see her. Silas's irritation turned to panic as he hurriedly dressed and rushed out.
02:51What's wrong? Did you call the family doctor? A few steps out, he realized something was off.
02:58He turned back, apologetically, looking at me leaning against the doorframe.
03:03Selina's not well. I need to check on her. My brother's gone. I'm all she has.
03:08I'll be right back, Jane. You've always been understanding.
03:12Silas frowned, was about to offer more reassurance, but froze at the sudden weight on his shoulders.
03:17I draped a coat over him. It's cold at night. Wear more before you go.
03:22Silas gripped the coat, his eyes unreadable.
03:25Jane, you...
03:26Silas didn't come back all night. I reached across the bed, only touched cold sheets. The
03:32knocking outside grew louder and louder. I opened the door to find a sterling servant,
03:37wearing open contempt. The old lady says you're to bring the child to the sterling estate.
03:46When we reached the main hall of the estate, I found the entire sterling clan assembled. Silas stood
03:52beside Selina supporting her, his eyes full of tenderness.
03:58Selina's finally pregnant. With all the family elders here today, it's time to honor the promise
04:04from six months ago. The clan's most respected elders stepped forward.
04:08I hereby declare Simus Straling as the new head of the Straling family. Now that the Stralings have an
04:15heir, pick a date for the wedding. I looked up to find everyone staring at Selina, even Silas. He
04:23openly placed his hand on Selina's stomach, his expression tender. I'm going to be a father.
04:29Not a father again, but a father. Something sour twisted in my chest. I clenched my fists.
04:37Mommy, it hurt. I quickly released him. His little hand was bright red.
04:44Mommy, sorry. Let mommy blow on it.
04:48Noah's words drew every eye in the room. The elder frowned.
04:54If word gets out that the Stirling heir had a child out of wedlock, our reputation is ruined.
04:59Just some bastard from a loose woman. Silas's mother glared at me with a cold snort.
05:04From now on, tell everyone this child is from a distant Stirling relative being raised here.
05:12Silas released his arm from around Selina. Mom, that's too far.
05:16He started toward me, but Selina subtly pulled him back. I took Noah's hand and walked up to
05:21Silas's mother. As you wish. From now on, Noah won't be Silas's son anymore. I crouched down in
05:28front of Noah, my eyes burning with unshed tears. Baby, you can't call him daddy anymore.
05:32You have to call him uncle, okay?
05:37Silas froze. He knew Noah was the only reason I had stayed this long.
05:41I quickly led Noah outside, but Selina called out.
05:44Jane! Jane! I heard Cashman Saffran is best for pregnancy.
05:49Silas searched for days, but couldn't find any. Imagine my surprise when I saw you had a piece.
05:55Silas, would you be willing to part with it?
05:57Silas, is this what you want too?
05:59When Selina tilted her head back, the trail of hickeys exposed, my heart felt like needles
06:04rolling over it. Fine, dense, endless pain.
06:12This cashmere sapphire pendant was the token of love between Silas and me. We'd both fallen for it
06:18at the same jewelry exhibition. The night he committed to me, he put the cashmere sapphire
06:23around my neck. He'd promised me forever. I knew Selina wanted it. She'd asked Silas for it more
06:29than once. He'd refused. But this time, he looked away. Maybe you could...
06:38Fine. I laughed bitterly and ripped the cashmere sapphire from my neck, shoving it into Selina's hand.
06:44Watching Selina put it on with delight, I offered praise. It suits you perfectly.
06:50Then, under Silas's shocked gaze, I carried Noah out. Back at the villa, Noah was still crying.
06:57I forced down the heartache and gripped his small hand.
07:00Noah, if mommy wanted to leave this place, would you come with me?
07:06Mommy, can't we stay?
07:11But Noah, daddy and grandma don't want us here. Will you call him uncle forever?
07:15I held back my tears and looked at Noah gently.
07:17Noah clutched the Lego set tighter, Silas's birthday gift from last year.
07:21Mommy, I want one more birthday with daddy. Can I?
07:25Noah stubbornly refused to change how he addressed him. I closed my eyes and pulled him into my arms.
07:30I nodded.
07:31Okay.
07:34February 12th was Noah's birthday. I'd reminded Silas two days early so he could prepare.
07:39This might be the last birthday they would share. I wanted Noah to get his wish.
07:44On his birthday, Noah woke early. He put on his little suit. His voice shook with nerves.
07:50Mommy, daddy will come to my party, right?
07:53He will.
07:57I texted Silas.
08:00It's your son's birthday today. Where are you?
08:06Noah's head dropped.
08:08Noah's fingers gripped the cake box ribbon.
08:10Daddy's not coming, is he?
08:12After a long silence, he tried to comfort himself.
08:15It's okay. Uncle's busy. We shouldn't bother him.
08:20Mommy, let's eat the cake.
08:22This was the first time Noah called Silas uncle. He seemed to be accepting it. That his father
08:28didn't care about him. But his reddening eyes gave away his pain. I grabbed my phone and opened
08:33Silas's chat. You don't even have time for your son's birthday? You like Selena that much.
08:39You can't bear to leave her side? My finger hovered over send. I couldn't press it. Then a
08:45new message appeared. Come to the Sterling estate. Joy flooded through me. I shoved the phone in Noah's face.
08:51Noah, look! Daddy remembers!
08:53Noah's head shot up. A brilliant smile broke across his face.
08:57Daddy must have lots of presents for me! Mommy, let's go!
09:03Noah chattered the whole way. He guessed what gifts daddy had prepared. But when we reached
09:08the Sterling estate, the garden full of roses made my chest tighten.
09:13This wasn't decoration for a child's birthday.
09:16Noah didn't notice. He excitedly pulled me inside. I could only follow him anxiously. Dread
09:22settled in my gut.
09:23Silas, don't do something we can't run to.
09:26In the banquet hall, Noah saw Silas standing by a giant cake.
09:30Daddy! He crashed into Silas's arms. What are you doing here?
09:36My eyes filled with disappointment. Behind us, the socialites whispered.
09:41Isn't this Simus and Selena's engagement party? What's with this kid calling him dad? Didn't they
09:46say Simus wasn't married? Must be his bastard. Silas's face went iron. He shoved Noah away hard.
09:53What did you call me? Noah stumbled back several steps and fell to the ground. He froze, caught
10:00between tears and shock. Uncle. Finally, he whispered timidly. He looked at the cake in the
10:07center of the hall. A smile returned to his face. Uncle, are you here for my birthday? Can I cut
10:12the
10:13cake with you? Noah had waited days for this party. In his mind, as long as he could celebrate with
10:18Silas, nothing else mattered. Even calling him uncle was fine. But delicate hands gripped Silas's
10:25hand on the cake knife. No. This kind of party isn't for distant relatives like you, right, Samus?
10:32Rage flared in my chest. Now I understood everything. That text was from Selena. Her goal was simple.
10:39Humiliate us publicly. Make Noah's bastard status official.
10:44I stepped in front of Noah. My voice came out cold.
10:48Simus, is that true? Silas stood frozen. When our eyes met, guilt flashed across his face.
10:55Under everyone's stairs, he spoke. He's from a distant sterling branch. Behind him,
11:00Selena smiled with triumph. The whispers around us grew louder.
11:04To ruin their big day. Exactly. Low-class relatives. No manners.
11:11Noah went pale under the chorus of voices. His eyes turned red. My fury hit a breaking point. I
11:18walked forward and violently flipped the towering wheel. Big day, huh? Let me make everyone really
11:24happy. The socialites stood in stunned silence. Silas and Selena turned pale with rage. Only Noah
11:30looked up at me like I was a heroine. Mommy, you're so cool. I scooped Noah up and looked
11:36straight at Silas. Mr. Sterling, I apologize. Noah is only my child. He has nothing to do with the
11:41Sterlings. We're leaving now. The next second, bodyguards slammed me into the ground. Selena's
11:48voice hissed from above. You think the Sterling estate is somewhere you can waltz in and out of?
11:56Beat her. Then throw her out. Fists rained down on me like hail. My bones creaked and cracked under
12:01the blows. Noah crawled toward me, wailing. I kept shoving him away with gritted teeth. Through
12:07the crowd, I saw Silas. Reluctance flickered on his face. Then Selena yanked him back again. I endured
12:13the blows. Each punch shattered another memory. Silas seven years ago, climbing my window, promising
12:18forever. Silas six years ago, called a kept man but laughing anyway. Silas five years ago,
12:24holding Noah and saying his life was complete. All of it crumbled to ash in my mind. Noah's
12:29screams grew desperate. He dropped to his knees before Silas. Mr. Sterling, we were wrong. Sorry.
12:35Please let mommy go. Both Silas and I looked up in disbelief. Silas frowned. Stop. He stared at Noah,
12:42stunned. What did you say? The kneeling child seemed to age in an instant. His eyes went red as he
12:48looked
12:48at his father. Mr. Sterling, we're not welcome here. Mommy and I are leaving now. Thank you for
12:53having us today. Noah helped me to my feet. I limped after him toward the exit. Heart felt crushed in
12:59someone's fist. Silas didn't come home. He only sent two texts. Something came up. I'll apologize in person
13:07in a few days. Don't be mad. Be good. I knew his something meant his wedding on Valentine's Day.
13:13I packed everything we'd brought six months ago. I burned every trace of us in the villa.
13:17One bonfire. Gone. This relationship was a mistake from start to finish. Now it was time to wake up.
13:23We boarded the plane home. Before turning off my phone, I sent Silas one final text. Noah and I are
13:29gone. Have a good life. Let's never meet again. At that exact moment, Silas was exchanging rings with
13:35Selena. His chest seized with sudden pain. He saw the message, threw the ring down,
13:40and stumbled out of the hotel. To the airport! As Silas tried to call me, but only heard the cold,
13:45busy tone. The number you dialed is busy. His frown deepened. He barked at the driver.
13:49Can't you go faster? I can afford your damn traffic tickets! The driver wiped sweat from his forehead.
13:54Sir, it's not that I don't want to. It's Valentine's Day. The streets are packed.
13:57Today is Valentine's Day? Silas repeated it in a daze. Today was our cohabitation anniversary.
14:03He'd forgotten. The driver kept honking dutifully. But the line of cars refused to watch.
14:08Silas rubbed his face. Something hardened in his expression. Open the door. I'll run.
14:16The two miles felt like an eternity. When Silas reached the airport,
14:21his mouth tasted like iron. He stared blankly at the airport worker. Like he couldn't understand her words.
14:28The passengers you're looking for boarded over an hour ago.
14:31He looked at the empty waiting area. Something was missing from his chest.
14:35Like someone who'd always been there had suddenly vanished. He let out a short, hysterical laugh.
14:41How could that be? How could Jane ever leave me?
14:45She couldn't bear to. The phone rang. It was Selena.
14:50Silas, where did you go? Are you calling on this wedding?
14:53Her voice, once his favorite, came out shrill and hysterical. Like she'd fall apart without him.
14:59Nothing like Jane. Jane had her own life. She didn't need to lean on anyone. Silas pressed his tongue
15:05against his cheek. For the first time, Silas found Selena's weakness repulsive.
15:10Yeah. Wedding's off. At the office, Silas collapsed on the couch. He scrolled through our old messages.
15:18The past six months were pathetically sparse. Mostly just me asking him, did he eat on time?
15:23Was he sleeping well? And every time he slept in Selena's room, the next day I wouldn't reply at all.
15:30Like that was my way of venting anger. The messages grew fewer. Until a week ago,
15:35I stopped asking about his life completely. He sat up, his brow furrowed tight. The past week's
15:42messages fit on one screen. Only three total. The first two were from two days ago. Me asking if
15:48he'd come to Noah's birthday. He vaguely remembered me mentioning it, but he'd forgotten. He thought
15:53Noah was just acting out for attention. The last message was the goodbye. Noah and I are gone. Have a
15:59good life. Let's never meet again. With a loud bang, Silas kicked his chair against the wall.
16:05His fingers flew across the screen.
16:11Jane, are you insane? You think you'll have a good life without me? Take you re-back.
16:15If you come back now, I'll reluctantly back. I didn't marry Selena. You're still my only wife.
16:22Silas waited all night, restless. No reply came. Every call went to the same recording.
16:28The number you dialed is busy. Silas couldn't wait anymore. He drove to the villa. The streets at dawn
16:34were silent. Only a corner diner had its lights on. Inside, a couple worked the counter together.
16:40One flipped pancakes. One poured coffee. They moved in perfect sync. Steam rose from the griddle between
16:46them. Silas suddenly remembered. Back home, we'd had moments like that too. Back then,
16:52we opened a small jewelry shop. I taught him everything. I handled sales. He collected payment.
16:58We were exhausted but happy. Some people called him a kept man. He didn't care at all.
17:05I spend my wife's money. What's it to you? Silas gripped the steering wheel. His hands shook
17:10slightly, but he kept reassuring himself. She must be really angry this time.
17:16But if I humble myself, it should be fine. The villa came into his view. A warm yellow light glowed
17:22from inside. His whole body relaxed. The car stopped at the villa entrance. Silas stepped out
17:28and straightened his suit. His face went carefully blank. Yes, I'd apologize. But she needed to learn
17:34her lesson too. He pushed open the door, waiting smugly for me to rush into his arms.
17:41But the person who lifted her head was Selena. Tears welled in her eyes. Where did you go? I thought
17:48you left me. Silas's brow furrowed. He'd never found Selena this grating before. He pushed her aside
17:55and ran upstairs. But I wasn't upstairs. More than that. Everything related to me was gone. The closet
18:02was half empty. The colorful dresses and playful children's clothes. All gone. The bedroom wall where
18:08our photo hung was now just blank white space. The hundred love letters I had treasured for seven
18:13years. Only a blackened metal box remained. And a pile of ash inside. He stared at the ash in a
18:20daze.
18:21Then it hit him. How much effort he'd spent chasing me all those years ago. He'd written
18:26over a hundred letters before I even let him take me out. He'd climbed my windows for half a year
18:31before I finally let him inside. Silas covered his face. He collapsed to the floor, powerless.
18:38Footsteps sounded at the door. Silas shot upright. His heart pounded wildly. He hoped desperately,
18:44prayed that I would walk through that door. But it was Selena.
18:53Silas? Silas's face went dark, all tenderness gone. He looked at her sideways. What?
18:59And Selena flinched. But she pressed on. Since we're supposed to be married and Jane's not coming back,
19:05why don't we move into Selena's room? Silas let out a disgusted laugh.
19:09Are you that desperate? That pathetic? His voice was ice.
19:14Selena was stunned. Silas? What did you say? Don't understand?
19:18Silas grabbed Selena by the throat. He slammed her against the wall.
19:22You're just my brother's sloppy seconds. What makes you think I'd want you?
19:27I never planned to marry you. Why? Silas's smile turned cruel.
19:34You really have no self-awareness at all. I only agreed to marry you for revenge.
19:39You dumped me for power and status, remember? Now the show's over. You're useless.
19:45He ripped the Kashmir Sapphire from Selena's neck in one violent motion.
19:50Ignoring her screams of pain, he called his assistant.
19:53Find out where Jane went. And book me on the earliest flight there.
19:59Meanwhile, on the plane heading home,
20:02passengers around us were gossiping about Silas Sterling's cancelled wedding.
20:08Silas ran from our wedding? Isn't this what he always dreamed of?
20:16Isn't his ex Selena? Everyone knows she was his first love.
20:19I heard he went away years ago because she broke his heart.
20:21That's old news. He had another girlfriend back there. They say he even has a son.
20:26I listened with cold amusement. Beside me, Noah pulled off his eye mask. His small voice spoke up.
20:33Mommy, are they talking about Mr. Sterling?
20:35You heard wrong. Sleep. Mommy's here.
20:40Along the way, neighbors greeted me like I'd never left at all. Mom saw me and burst into tears.
20:46She pulled me inside. That night, the whole family gathered around the table. We ate together.
20:51Noah hadn't felt home like this in so long. He squeezed my hand.
20:55Mommy, I like it here.
20:57Back at the Sterling's, Silas' mother had been ruthless with us. During their meals, we stood and served.
21:04During our meals, we endured constant criticism. I kissed my son's soft cheek.
21:09We'll stay here forever. Never go back.
21:13Noah nodded. Finally, some innocence returned to his face. Just then, a neighbor rushed in.
21:19Jane, you need to come quick! That man you lived with is making a scene at the entrance!
21:26Before I reached it, I heard my friends mocking voices from far off.
21:30You're the man Jane picked? Looks like you'd break if the wind blew.
21:35Right? My 12-year-old nephew's stronger than him. Bet he can't even change a tire!
21:40Or chop wood! City boys are useless out here!
21:43I'm not here to argue with you. Go get Jane.
21:46I tapped a friend's shoulder, and they moved aside for me.
21:49Why are you here? I said we shouldn't meet again.
21:52I hadn't expected to see Silas looking like this. His face was haggard. Dark circles ringed his eyes.
21:59Like he hadn't slept in days. Nothing like the polished businessman image he used to maintain.
22:05Silas walked up to me. His first words were a reprimand.
22:08You spend your time with these jerks? No wonder you ignored my calls for days. They corrupted you!
22:14I can't let you and Noah stay here. Come back with me.
22:18He reached to grab me, but my friends surrounded me.
22:20He slammed iron rods into the ground. Get your hands off her! Back up!
22:26I looked at him over a neighbor's shoulder. You came all this way just to say that?
22:33Silas shook his head. After a long pause, he forced the words out.
22:38I came to apologize.
22:40Jane, I was wrong. I love you. I love you! Come back! Let's make this work!
22:44He looked at me with total confidence. He was. Certain I'd forgive him. Certain I'd go with him.
22:49The absurdity of it made me laugh. You don't actually think I'd go back with you, do you?
22:55I nearly choked on my laughter. When I looked at him again, my eyes were ice.
23:00Silas, you make me sick. Silas froze. His eyes went wide with disbelief.
23:05What did you say? I said, Silas, you make me sick. Silas flushed with anger and lunged toward me.
23:11My friends pushed him back. I already apologized. What more do you want?
23:18You used to always- I stepped out from behind my friends and slapped him hard across the face.
23:23That look of shock crossed his face again. I sneered.
23:26I used to what? Love you that much? Forgive you for everything? Yes. I did love you once.
23:32Enough to leave home for New York with you. Enough to keep loving you while watching you with Selina.
23:37But Silas, love isn't infinite. You used it all up. I tilted my head, mocking him.
23:42What made you think you could hurt me over and over just because I loved you?
23:47What made you think that after hurting me, one useless I love you would bring me running back?
23:52And what makes you think that after killing my love bit by bit, I still love you?
23:57Silas stumbled backward with each word. Finally, he collapsed to the ground. He realized it then.
24:03The love in my eyes had died. He began to sob, repeating his apology.
24:07I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Jane, I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
24:15I watched tears fill his eyes. I felt nothing. My voice came out flat as I spoke the most final
24:21words.
24:22Don't apologize to me. Seeing you now just makes me sick.
24:26Simus, the girl who loved you is dead. She died during those 52 nights you spent with Selina.
24:32I won't forgive you for her. You should live with this guilt for the rest of your life.
24:36Tears streamed down Silas's pale face. His lips moved several times. No words came out. Finally, he stood up shakily.
24:43Then... Noah...
24:46Noah is my child. He takes my last name. His name is Noah Reed. One day, he'll have a real
24:52father.
24:53But none of that concerns you anymore.
24:56Silas left that day. He looked like he'd aged several years. Noah learned what happened from me. I asked him.
25:03Are you upset mommy didn't let you see him one last time?
25:06Noah shook his head.
25:08That unnatural maturity surfaced again. Mr. Sterling isn't father material. So I don't regret it.
25:15I taught my friends the jewelry trade the way I'd once taught Silas. Within a few years,
25:20our jewelry became known for quality and honesty. People came from everywhere to buy from us. I heard
25:25about Silas again on the news. After returning to New York, he'd refused to marry Selina. He'd even
25:32mutilated himself in protest. It didn't work. It only made Selina's unborn child more valuable.
25:38The family elders forced the marriage through. Silas's mother, who thought she was so smart,
25:43had met her match. Selina and her mother-in-law turned the Sterling estate into a war zone. It became
25:49the biggest joke in NYC high society. And Silas resented being forced to marry Selina. One day,
25:56he pushed her down the stairs. Selina lost the baby. She lost her mind completely. Without the child,
26:05without Silas's affection, she had nothing left to hope for. So she drove a knife into Silas's heart.
26:10Then she killed herself beside his body. Before dying, she clutched his cold hand.
