Short filmTranscript
00:00At my husband's product launch, he played a video of me being raped on a 40-foot screen, in front
00:06of hundreds of people.
00:09Reporters. Clients. My colleagues.
00:13When I tried to stop him, Dominic... Santiago smiled and raised the remote higher.
00:24Emi, since you know how painful it is to have your privacy exposed...
00:29My screams and the sound of fabric tearing echoed through the hall.
00:35Cameras swung towards me from every direction.
00:38But Dominic carried his mistress, At Rosilla, in his arms and walked away.
00:48The man who once saved me from those debt brokers, who held me while I cried after the assault, had
00:52become the monster who would use my trauma as entertainment.
00:55But what Dominic doesn't know is that my brother, Zayn Lopez, has been waiting 13 years for this moment.
01:00And I've already texted him two words, come back home.
01:04Tiago Group's newest product launch, I frozen.
01:09On the massive screen behind my husband, naked photos of me.
01:25Photos taken the year I first joined the company.
01:28The year I was assaulted by a client, at a private VIP event.
01:33Images I thought had been destroyed, eight years ago.
01:38Hundreds of guests filled the hall.
01:40Champagne glasses froze mid-clink.
01:43Flash belts popped from every corner.
01:48But I couldn't move, couldn't speak, couldn't breathe.
02:01Because the man standing at the podium, remote in hand, was Dominic Santiago.
02:09I snapped back to my senses, while everyone laughed.
02:13Panicking as I tried to look for the remote, only to be stopped by at Dominic Santiago.
02:20Emi, since you know how painful it is to have your privacy exposed,
02:25why did you include Rosa's underwear in your post last night?
02:29Hands trembled as I pulled out my phone and opened the post from the night before,
02:33holding it up in front of him.
02:38In the bottom right corner of the photo was a patch no bigger than a fingernail,
02:41just the faint edge whip of a bathrobe.
02:43If no one pointed it out, anyone would have assumed it was a towel thrown on the floor.
02:49You call this underwear, Dominic?
02:51Does this count as privacy?
02:55He glanced at the photo, frowned slightly, and replied in an icy tone.
02:59Whether it counts is beside the point.
03:03Your intent alone is unforgivable.
03:05With that, he raised the remote.
03:08The next second, the big screen started playing the surveillance video of me being violated in a private room eight
03:16years ago.
03:17My shrill screams and the sound of fabric tearing echoed through the vast exhibition hall.
03:29The painful memories made me shrink into a corner fearfully.
03:43Dominic's assistant stepped forward, voice urgent.
03:47Mrs. Santiago's mental health barely improved this year.
03:51If this continues, something could really go wrong.
03:54Shut up.
03:56Dominic didn't even look at him.
04:00She's hard to kill.
04:03Those words hit me like a physical blow.
04:07Hard to kill.
04:08That's what he thought of me.
04:18He scooped at Rosalie Mava to his arms.
04:21The woman he'd chosen over my Dignatius.
04:29And Sivri Outda to his pocket.
04:33Then he walked away without looking back.
04:39Rosalie glanced back over his shoulder.
04:43A smile played on her lips.
04:47Victorious.
04:49Satisfied.
04:53I knew in that moment.
04:57This time.
04:59I truly had to leave.
05:05The hall was automated.
05:07Only the remote controlled the screen.
05:09And Dominic had taken it.
05:10No one could stop it.
05:12All eyes fixed on footage from the VIP lounder.
05:16My torn suit.
05:17Marked shoulders.
05:18The drunken man's hands sliding along my waist as I curled, curled on the floor, trembling.
05:24Eight years of nightmare.
05:27I'm playing for hundreds of people.
05:37I reporters swarmed.
05:43One who'd nearly been fired before wore a greasy smile.
05:48Grabbed my shoulder.
05:50Let his hand slide down.
05:52Haven't you always acted like some pure goddess, Mrs. Santiago?
05:55Slept your way to the top?
05:59How do you keep him satisfied?
06:03Think I'll ever get a turn?
06:05I shoved him away.
06:08Dozens of cameras shoved into my face.
06:13Mrs. Santiago, does your husband despise you?
06:16Is that why you've never gotten pregnant?
06:18They marry you for your sex appear.
06:19How many deals did you secure by sleeping your way to the top?
06:23The crowd blurred into beasts with gaping mouths.
06:27All wearing the same leaking face.
06:29Reaching for my body.
06:30I lost it completely.
06:32Eyes bloodshot.
06:33But I screamed.
06:34Yeah, I'm dirty!
06:37I'm worthless!
06:38Get away from me!
06:41I fled through the crowd and out of the hall.
06:46Then my phone buzzed.
06:50Emeline, the surprise isn't over yet.
06:54Look up.
06:57On every giant screen along the street.
07:00The same video.
07:02The violation.
07:04The screaming.
07:06My naked body.
07:07Broadcast across the entire city.
07:11Another message.
07:13Check your phone.
07:15I open social media.
07:19My photo.
07:20Messy clothes.
07:22Hickeys on my neck.
07:24Already trending.
07:27The ringtone made me tremble.
07:29Her.
07:29I picked up without a word.
07:31A soft laugh.
07:33Her voice shifted.
07:35Emeline, you are still my defeated opponent.
07:38Know your place.
07:39Try anything again.
07:41And it only gets worse.
07:43In restrained laughter.
07:44In silence.
07:45How many times?
07:47When my cat scratched Rosili's leg,
07:50he threw me into the reptile in Clintuzer.
07:52He knew my fear of snakes.
07:54And watched through the glass as I screamed.
07:56When I spilled wine on her gown,
07:58poured a dozen bottles over me in public.
08:00His walking wine scandal.
08:03Too many times to count.
08:06If not for thirteen years ago,
08:08or eight years ago,
08:09I would have left long ago.
08:12The man who had shielded me
08:14had torn that protection apart.
08:16Into the blade that cut deepest.
08:21Nothing left to...
08:35I tried to make it home,
08:37but dizziestness hit like a wave.
08:39The world spun.
08:41I collapsed on the street,
08:42amid honking bars and stairs.
08:44Darkness swallowed me.
08:45I woke.
08:46I was in the hospital.
08:48And I woke.
08:49It stung my nose.
08:51Kept my eyes closed.
08:54Outside the ward.
08:55I heard the doctor's worried voice.
08:58Mr. Santiago,
08:59you promised not to aggravate Mrs. Santiago.
09:02Why did you...
09:02She was finally improving.
09:06Now we're back to square one.
09:08Will she die from it?
09:12Dominic's cold voice cut in.
09:18Not right now.
09:22But if...
09:26Then stop talking.
09:28Dominic was losing patience.
09:30You don't tell me how to treat my wife.
09:34I know what I'm doing.
09:37Get out!
09:39The doctor left.
09:41The ward door opened from outside.
09:50Emi, it's me.
09:51Soft, gentle.
09:52Nothing like the monster at the launch.
09:54Leaned down.
09:55Kissed my forehead.
09:56Wake up.
09:57You've been sleeping for a long time.
10:03I know what I'm doing.
10:03His arms wrapped around me.
10:05Stubble rough against my neck.
10:12Emi, don't mind what others say.
10:14I never cared about what happened eight years ago.
10:17You only one I eyed.
10:18His breath on my ear.
10:19Once my strength.
10:20Now it disgusted me.
10:22But I couldn't push him away.
10:23He thought I was still obedient.
10:25Mood brightened.
10:26He ruffled my hair like a child and brought oatmeal.
10:28The doctor says you need to eat.
10:31Warm oatmeal on my lips.
10:33I hesitated.
10:34Took a bite.
10:36I needed to survive.
10:39Feeling better?
10:42After a few spoonfuls, Dominic spoke casually.
10:45But his tone allowed no refusal.
10:47Since you feel better, so apologize to Rosa.
10:51Why should I?
10:53His eyes showed nothing.
10:57She tried to kill herself because of your photo.
11:00If I hadn't gotten there in time, she'd be dead.
11:04You must go.
11:05What about me?
11:06She leaked my neck.
11:08Emi.
11:09He slammed the bowl down.
11:10Voice cold.
11:12No time for this.
11:14The hospital called about your mother.
11:16You've overseas medical team.
11:18The words hung in the air.
11:20My mother.
11:21Her treatment.
11:22Her life.
11:23All controlled by him.
11:27I'll go.
11:29Flat.
11:30Hollow.
11:32He kissed me and left.
11:35Calm tone.
11:36But I heard the threat.
11:38Eight years he'd paid for her treatment.
11:40Never asked credit.
11:43Today, he used her against me.
11:46For Rosalie.
11:51Bitterness exploded in my chest.
11:54I searched my phone for that familiar number.
11:58The one I had not dialed in years.
12:01And typed the words.
12:06Calm, Zan.
12:08I need you.
12:19Come back home, Zan.
12:21I need you.
12:23Zane Lopez, my brother.
12:24My only family.
12:26The Lopez name had fallen, but Zane himself had never been broken.
12:29He had cut ties with our family long ago to pursue his dream of becoming a film director.
12:33We had not spoken in months.
12:35But for what I needed to do next for the performance of my lifetime, he was the only one who
12:39could pull it off.
12:44I pressed send, stared at the screen, and waited for the three dots that would change everything.
12:51Minutes passed.
12:52Then my phone buzzed.
13:10Okay, I'll be in New York within three days.
13:22Zane.
13:24Coming home for me?
13:28Almost at the same moment, another message popped up.
13:32From Dominic.
13:33Emmy, I'm taking Rosa on a trip to relax.
13:36We'll be back in three days.
13:38Make come apologize once we return.
13:41I'm into this plot a little ready.
13:48Two messages.
13:49Two men.
13:53Three days.
13:58Zane's message was a promise.
14:02Dominic's was a threat.
14:08I clutched my phone tight, crying on the hospital bed.
14:14And then, suddenly, I laughed like a mad woman.
14:20Three days later, Dominic's driver knocked on my door before dawn.
14:25When he saw me, his expression flickered, like he wanted to say something, but couldn't.
14:33Mrs. Santiago.
14:38I know.
14:40Let's go.
14:43I'd prepared myself for the worst.
14:45Three days of waiting.
14:47Three days of rehearsing what I'd say, how I'd act, which expression to wear.
14:56The drive felt endless.
14:59Each block brought me closer to the Santiago group building.
15:03To Dominic's office.
15:06To whatever punishment he'd devised.
15:14When we arrived and I stepped out of the car, I froze.
15:21Because sitting in Dominic's office, visible through the glass walls, was someone I never
15:26expected to see again.
15:33Austin Watford.
15:35The name alone made bile rise in my throat.
15:37Eight years ago, this man had violated me in the Santiago group's private lounge.
15:41He'd torn my clothes.
15:43Left marks on my body that took months to fade.
15:46Destroyed something inside me that never fully healed.
15:48Dominic had told me he'd personally sent Austin to prison.
15:51That justice had been served.
15:53That I was safe.
15:58And now Austin Watford was sitting in my husband's office, laughing.
16:03Chatting.
16:06Like he belonged there.
16:10Like Dominic had invited him.
16:15Dominic had invited him.
16:23Rosalie walked out of Dominic's office, her voice sweet and cheerful.
16:26Oh, Emeline.
16:28You're really punctual.
16:30She reached out and pulled me straight inside.
16:37Austin, who was already balding at the top.
16:43Stretched his hand toward me.
16:47I quickly stepped back, bumping into the wine cabinet behind me.
16:53A large splash of red wine soaked through my jacket.
16:58Seeing the way he looked at me, I started gabbing.
17:03I looked toward at Dominic Santiago.
17:05He covered his nose with both hands and avoided my gaze.
17:08It seemed like he wanted to say something, but Rosalie Mava spoke first.
17:14Come on, Emeline.
17:16Since you two are old acquaintances, no need to be so tense.
17:20Rosalie grabbed my wrist and pulled me forward.
17:24Dom said the public scene was a bit much.
17:27So we'll handle your apology prightly.
17:29She pointed at Austin.
17:30He's an important client.
17:32Make him happy today.
17:33And I won't hold anything beguined you.
17:36Before I could respond, Austin dragged me to his side.
17:40His thick arm wrapped around me.
17:41You were too young to satisfy me back then.
17:44But Mr. Santiago has trained you well.
17:47Your skills have improved.
17:49Today, let's...
17:50Wine soaked through my jacket.
17:52Austin's gaze dropped.
17:53His hand followed.
17:54I bit my lip hard enough to taste blood.
17:56Across the room, Dominic lowered his head and said nothing.
18:01A huge wave of humiliation welled up within me.
18:03And I used all my strength to shove Austin away.
18:06Before Rosalie's smile faded, I slapped her across the face.
18:09Then, I grabbed her wrist and shoved her straight into Austin's arms.
18:14Since you're such good friends, you should be the one to keep Mr. Watford company.
18:20Austin clearly feared nothing.
18:24After a disgusting laugh, he tore Rosalie's thin dress apart, pulled her into his arms, and pressed his mouth onto
18:31her pale chest.
18:36Watching that scene made a wave of twisted satisfaction rush through me, and my whole body trembled with it.
18:46Suddenly, someone strangled my neck from behind.
18:50I was flung away, crashing into the shattered wine bottles on the ground.
18:55Countless glass shards stabbed into my flesh, and blood mixed with red wine on my clothes, blooming into scarlet patches.
19:01Amid the stabbing pain, Dominic rushed toward the screaming Rosalie.
19:05He punched Austin in the face and gathered Rosalie into his arms.
19:13Then, he turned back and grabbed me by my throat.
19:16Emmeline, I never knew you could be this heartless.
19:18Rosa even tried to make the apology easier for you.
19:21Yet you're still not satisfied.
19:23You slept with him eight years ago, so why can't you do it again?
19:25Since you don't care about the consequences.
19:27I won't either.
19:29Today, I'll make sure you learn your lesson.
19:35Dragging my blood-covered body, Dominic pulled me away.
19:40It wasn't until I saw the hospital from inside the car that I finally understood what sort of punishment he
19:45meant.
19:48In the VIP ward on the top floor, my mother lay in a deep sleep.
19:55Juliana Horton.
19:56The only person who'd ever truly loved me.
20:03If not for the tubes and machines surrounding her bed, she might have been taking a nap.
20:10But that nap had lasted eight years.
20:12Ever since my accident, the same accident that had broken our family, she'd never opened her eyes.
20:20I stumbled forward and reached for her hand, cold, thin.
20:27Fragile under my fingers.
20:34But before I could feel any warmth,
20:39Dominic's grip closed around my arm and yanked me backward.
20:49Dominic's grip closed around my arm and yanked me backward.
20:50Emeline.
20:50Dominic's voice was low and calm.
20:52We already talked about this last time.
20:55As long as you behave,
20:56I'll let your mother stay in this VIP board peacefully.
21:02One day,
21:03she might even wake up and hear you speak again.
21:13but since you've been so naughty lately he reached out and decisively pulled out the
21:17power from one of the machines in an instant all the indicator lights turned red and sharp
21:30alarms rang in my ears my mother's breathing grew more and more rapid i panicked stumbled forward
21:40and grabbed dominic's wrist that was holding the power plug dominic i didn't mean it i was just too

22:26lifted his hand to plug the power back in but just as he was about to do so the window
22:31behind us
22:31suddenly opened rosalie sat on the windowsill with tears streaming down her face

23:32at that moment i could only see my mother's face turning purple from suffocation
23:38i forced myself forward and plugged the power back in
23:42the alarms finally stopped but almost immediately dominic rushed over
23:47he shoved me aside and pulled out all the power cords to my mother's medical equipment
23:52instantly dozens of piercing red lights flashed in the ward
23:55and the deafening alarms rang in my ears
24:00dominic

24:15he kicked me aside cradling rosalie tightly and spoke through clenched teeth

25:08dominic walked out with rosalie in his arms

30:49when they begged him to return
30:54from then on
30:55he cut ties with everyone
30:57everyone except me
30:58when i married dominic
31:00zane sent us a wedding gift
31:01a knife
31:10along with it
31:11a letter i'd hidden from dominic
31:17dominic
31:17dominic had thought zane was a psycho
31:19a joke he was wrong
31:31dominic wiped blood from his mouth
31:33his hand shook
31:37call me whatever you want
31:38move
31:39this is the santiago family's hospital
31:41and i am going in
31:43to see my wife
31:46zane did not blink
31:50that will not be possible
31:52flat
31:53final
31:54no room for argument
31:55dominic took a step forward
31:57zane did not block him
31:59did not need to
32:01because something in dominic's chest
32:03some instinct older than reason
32:05screamed at him not to take another step
32:07please
32:08his voice cracked broke
32:10i just need to see her one time
32:14tell her i am sorry
32:16tell her i will fix everything
32:25zane refused to let dominic enter
32:27his tone devoid of emotion
32:35dominic
32:36you will pay a huge price
32:38for your ignorance
32:39before dominic could respond
32:42zane had already disappeared
32:44around the corner
32:50dominic forced down his uneasiness
32:52and entered the morgue alone
32:59not only was i gone even my mother's body
33:02was nowhere to be found
33:07the old man in charge slowly stood up
33:13don't ask
33:14we can't afford to offend the young man from earlier
33:17several mercenaries came to take the bodies away
33:29that particular knife from your wedding
33:31is a restricted aviation weapon mr santiago
33:34do you understand what that means
33:36dominic's scalp tingled private jets
33:38restricted weapons
33:40mercenaries
33:45any one of those owners could crush the santiago group like an ant
33:54before dominic could ponder any further
33:56his phone rang
33:58his assistant was panicking
34:03bad news mr santiago
34:06mrs maveris killed herself in your office
34:09dominic rushed back to the company
34:11his assistant shoved a piece of paper into his hands
34:14mr santiago
34:16this is mrs mavis's suicide note
34:20according to this
34:21you've been wanting to kill her for the longest time
34:23when dominic saw the familiar handwriting
34:26his vision went dark
34:27even the biggest idiot could tell it was all a trap
34:34he grabbed the suicide note
34:40lit it on fire
34:43and rushed downstairs
34:49but before he could escape
34:50there was a knock on the door
34:53mr santiago
34:55we're from the criminal investigation department
34:57please cooperate with us
35:00half a month later
35:02i saw the news of dominic's death on zane's tablet
35:06rosalie had not only left a suicide note
35:08but also emailed a final message to the police
35:13while investigations were still ongoing
35:15dominic jumped from the santiago group building
35:19the day he jumped
35:20many people gathered below
35:24he kneeled like a madman
35:29bowing desperately toward nothing
35:31as he mumbled to himself
35:33i'm sorry emmy
35:37it's all my fault
35:38i've wronged you terribly
35:41i deserve to die
35:43i'll do it now
35:45hang on i'm coming
35:49over and over
35:50like a prayer
35:51like a curse
35:56what a pity
35:57i didn't expect him to be that we hit him
36:01zane's voice came from behind me
36:03i turned to find him settling onto the couch
36:06handing me a glass of red wine with casual ease
36:11on his tablet
36:13the footage still played
36:14dominic on his knees
36:16bowing at nothing
36:17mumbling apologies to empty air
36:22i hired someone to pretend to be you
36:24zane said
36:26swirling his own glass
36:30had them appear outside his window a few nights
36:33wore your clothes
36:37walked like you
36:40he scared himself into this state
36:43all on his own
36:47paranoia
36:48guilt
36:48sleep deprivation
36:49a dangerous combination that breaks any man
36:53and rosalie
36:57i had to ask
36:58i needed to know how it ended
37:00zane's expression did not flicker
37:02do not get me started on her
37:04before i even said
37:06a word
37:07before i made a single move
37:09she grabbed a knife
37:11and sliced her own artery open
37:16what a coward
37:19he said it like it meant nothing
37:23like her life had been worth nothing
37:27like the woman who had tormented me for eight years had simply erased herself
37:34i waited for satisfaction
37:36for relief
37:37for some sense of justice
37:39it did not come
37:41i felt nothing
37:42not joy
37:43not grief
37:44just emptiness
37:46well it did not matter anymore
37:53the santiago group collapsed within three months
38:01dominic's death triggered investigations that unraveled everything fraud
38:05embezzlement
38:07tax evasion
38:08evidence buried four years
38:09all exposed to daylight
38:13rosalie's suicide note
38:14though forged
38:15contained enough truth to ignite the fire
38:23the board resigned en masse
38:25assets liquidated at pennies on the dollar
38:28the santiago name became poison
38:34anyone associated with it distanced themselves overnight
38:39from empire to ruins in 90 days
38:43everything he built erased
38:47i watched it all from far away from a villa in the south of france that zane insisted i use
38:57white stucco walls
39:02lavender fields stretching to the horizon
39:07the distant sound of waves
39:14sunglasses on my face
39:20a wide-brimmed hat covering my still healing scars
39:23to the world
39:29i was just another anonymous woman enjoying the french riviera
39:34the headlines called me
39:36hate mrs santiago
39:38gossip blogs called me
39:44the mystery woman spotted in nice
39:50nobody called me emeline lopez
39:53and that was exactly how i wanted it
39:55you
39:57you
39:57you
