Short filmTranscript
00:00Xavier Sterling. New York's ultimate playboy. He made it clear. No strings attached. Ever.
00:07But every girl in the city still wants a piece of it. Because if he's happy, you get a mansion.
00:13If he's bored, you get a million dollar egg giveaway.
00:18The whole city laughed at me. They called me the most pathetic trophy wife.
00:22Everyone thought I'd endure this forever. Until Xavier brought a college student named Kayla home.
00:28She was plain, but she broke his one-month dating curse.
00:38Xavier gave me two choices. One, accept an open marriage and live with Kaylee.
00:43Two, a clean divorce. Half his assets and we're even.
00:47From now on, his friends watched like it was a reality show. They bet I'd stay a puppet and just
00:52take it.
00:59But I didn't hesitate. I chose the latter.
01:03In my past life, I chose to endure. But Kaylee just kept pushing.
01:07She blocked him from touching me or giving me anything.
01:10I died alone while she had it all.
01:13Even when Xavier died, his will didn't mention my name.
01:17Kaylee controlled every cent he left behind.
01:21I kept the title of Mrs. Sterling, but I was lonely for 50 years.
01:25This time, I'm done with the fairy tale.
01:30This time, I'm just taking the money and leaving.
01:33I took the divorce agreement, read it for the last time, and was about to sign.
01:37Sienna, think carefully. Once you sign this, there's no going back.
01:40My hand didn't shake. I signed it with a sharp stroke.
01:43I'm packing my bags now, I said coldly.
01:47In my last life, I thought Kaylee was just a phase.
01:50I thought we had some real love after all these years.
01:54What a joke.
02:02He and Kaylee lived happily ever after.
02:10While I stayed in that house like a useless ghost.
02:16Until my final days, I heard them whispering in the hospital.
02:19Xavier admitted he framed me for that affair.
02:21He even hired the man to be in my bed.
02:35I was just bored of her.
02:37I needed a reason to keep her under my thumb.
02:39So that was the truth.
02:41No wonder he never believed my desperate explanations.
02:43Because he was the one who wrote the script.
02:46He didn't love me, but he trapped me for 50 years.
02:48He could have let me go, but he chose to destroy me slowly.
02:52I looked at his face.
02:53Young, handsome and cold.
02:55I felt no more love, only a wave of burning hate.
03:00Xavier stared at the papers, frozen in shock.
03:04Suddenly, the whispering at the door stopped.
03:06My noble in-laws burst in, glowing with joy.
03:09Younger is better?
03:11Look at all that energy.
03:13My father-in-law, who always hated me, was all smiles.
03:16He shot me a look like I was garbage.
03:22Finally, the dead weight is gone.
03:24Years of marriage and not even one heir.
03:28Don't say that, uncle.
03:29I'm not really that much younger than Auntie Sianna.
03:31Actually, I'm already pregnant.
03:33It's still early, so I kept it a secret.
03:36Same old insults.
03:37Same disgusting drama.
03:40For years, I gave my everything to the Sterling Group just to be a useful wife.
03:47At night, I had to serve my picky in-laws.
03:54I'm only 30, but I already have gray hair.
03:59I really have aged.
04:04I went to my room to pack my tiny suitcase.
04:09I was already planning my first vacation with the cash.
04:13I didn't notice Xavier following me in.
04:15It's late.
04:16You don't have to leave tonight.
04:19My west side villa is empty.
04:21Stay there.
04:23I'll come visit you when I have time.
04:25Sianna, I know you love me.
04:26Stop playing games.
04:28But the title, I can't give you that anymore.
04:30I won't let my child be born a bastard.
04:33I didn't say a word.
04:35I grabbed my bag and walked right past him.
04:39I have nothing to say to you.
04:40I'm actually happy we're finally divorcing.
04:43If you have a heart, just pay me what you owe.
04:56The cold night wind couldn't put out the fire in my heart.
05:11Xavier's efficiency was high.
05:12As always, I woke up with $3 billion in my bank account.
05:16Step one.
05:17Take the money and book New York's most elite private club.
05:20I booked the ultimate full body spa and a total makeover.
05:24The tired woman with gray hair was gone, replaced by a blonde with sharp, fierce eyes.
05:29Fresh out of the makeover, I got a call from my bestie, Jolene.
05:33Sianna, are you and Xavier crazy?
05:35It's everywhere.
05:37What happened?
05:38I asked lazily.
05:39Check the news.
05:40Xavier is at a gala with that girl.
05:43He told the press she is his only wife.
05:45He's planning a wedding right now.
05:48Jolene's voice dropped, sounding worried.
05:50Babe, are you okay?
05:52The public recognition I craved for half my life, Xavier just gave it all to someone else.
05:58I'm fine.
05:59Because we're already divorced.
06:02Divorced?
06:04Jolene stuttered, but I didn't explain.
06:06I just gave a soft, cold laugh.
06:08She saw me love Xavier for 10 years, sacrificing my soul.
06:12I used to be like a dog, begging for his crumbs of love.
06:15You free tonight?
06:16Meet me at the bar.
06:17Drinks are on me.
06:22In New York's most elite lounge, the table was covered best wine and champagne.
06:26Hotmail models crowded around me, pouring my wine.
06:29Jolene stared at me, her jaw on the floor.
06:32Holy shit, you've really moved on.
06:35I used to count every penny to prove I wasn't greedy.
06:38Now, I caught my reflection in the glass.
06:40The blonde hair and custom couture felt strange, yet familiar.
06:44Jolene raised her glass and tasted me.
06:47This is the Ivy League genius I remember.
06:50She cried.
06:51You could have crushed Sterling Global if you started your own firm.
06:54You were their slave for 10 years.
06:56This cash isn't even enough.
06:58It wasn't just 10 years.
07:00It was an entire lifetime.
07:02In my past life, I built his empire into a global powerhouse.
07:06But in the end, I couldn't even afford a bottle of painkillers.
07:09I was kicked out by Kaylee's kids and died in a frozen dumpster.
07:13My life's work became a gift for her and her children.
07:16I downed my drink, the liquid igniting my soul.
07:20Let's see if they can survive without me.
07:22I'm going to show them exactly what I'm capable of.
07:26The news of my new firm hit New York overnight.
07:29Some saw an opportunity and rushed to invest.
07:32But most were just waiting to watch me fail.
07:34The tabloids called my move reckless and pathetic.
07:37I swiped past the headlines with a cold smile.
07:40Then, my phone rang.
07:42It was Xavier.
07:43Sienna, stop playing games.
07:45Your little startup won't last a week in this market.
07:49I kept your old desk open.
07:51Just come back.
07:52I don't need your advice, Mr. Sterling.
07:53I replied.
07:54A long silence.
07:55Can't you just understand?
07:56I found true love.
07:59Why waste time on a tiny firm?
08:01Stay at Sterling Global.
08:03That Southside merger you were handling.
08:05I hung up on him.
08:07Of course, he just missed his favorite tool.
08:10Southside merger was a total beast.
08:12It took me six months of blood and sweat to nail it.
08:14Without me, Sterling Global has no clue how to handle it.
08:18Back then, I was the VP.
08:19But my salary was only $3,000.
08:22We're family.
08:23My noble father-in-law would say.
08:25Don't be so greedy about money.
08:27Don't be so greedy about money.
08:27I was naive enough to think it was a test.
08:29Now I see I was just elite, dirt-cheap labor.
08:32The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
08:35In the past, I carried Sterling Global on my back.
08:38This time, even if my new firm can't take it all,
08:41I'll hand-deliver those deals to their biggest rivals.
08:45Xavier slammed his phone onto the floor in a rage.
08:48He was used to my absolute obedience.
08:51Now, my cold reprojection left him humiliated.
08:54His assistant walked in with a mountain of files.
08:58Xavier stared at them, totally clueless.
09:01Years of slacking off had left him completely out of his depth.
09:05Kaylee followed him in, holding his hand with fake sympathy.
09:09Xavier, don't overwork yourself.
09:11Let me help you.
09:15You're young and inexperienced.
09:17Xavier said, hesitate.
09:18Kaylee's eyes turned red.
09:19She looked hurt.
09:20Sienna was the VP.
09:22Why can't I do it?
09:23Xavier almost said, because Sienna was a finance genius.
09:26But one look at those tears, and his logic vanished.
09:30He went soft and nodded.
09:33Fine.
09:34You start tomorrow.
09:35Kaylee smiled through her tears and hugged him tight.
09:41I just care about you so much.
09:44You've lost weight.
09:50My firm was crushing it in six months.
09:58Kaylee tried every petty trick to stop me, but I handled them all with a smirk.
10:02My New York network was light years ahead of hers.
10:06My old team at Sterling was dying to jump Shep.
10:09Kaylee made their lives a total living hell.
10:12I told them, don't quit just yet.
10:14Give me a little parting gift first.
10:17Kaylee thought losing a few people was fine.
10:19She didn't know they were the company's lifeblood.
10:24Their projects failed one by one.
10:27Their stock price tanked.
10:31But my team?
10:32We were winning.
10:33I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching my team.
10:37Celebration at Delmonado's tonight.
10:39Steaks and champagne on me.
10:40You're the gold, boss!
10:42We walked out of the lobby like champions.
10:48But there it was.
10:50A familiar black Rolls Royce.
10:52The Rolls Royce door opened, and Xavier stepped out.
10:55He waved, like he still owned me.
10:59I kept walking, eyes forward, ignoring him.
11:04His assistant blocked my path.
11:06Xavier caught up, his face twisted with annoyance.
11:11Sienna, what is this?
11:13Didn't you see me?
11:16You've really grown some teeth lately, haven't you?
11:19I looked at him with total indifference.
11:24Is there a problem, Mr. Sterling?
11:27He choked on my coldness, but cut to the chase.
11:30Shut down your little firm.
11:32Come back to Sterling.
11:33I almost laughed at his sheer audacity.
11:35He took my smile as a sign of weakness, and softened his voice.
11:39Sienna, I'm exhausted.
11:40Stop playing hard to get.
11:42He sighed, acting like he was making a huge sacrifice.
11:47If you're jealous of Kaylee, I'll move her out.
11:51I'm not playing games, Mr. Sterling.
11:53I snapped.
11:53We are divorced.
11:55Stay out of my life.
11:59His patient snapped, and he raised his voice.
12:02I've already made concessions.
12:04What more do you want?
12:06The company needs you.
12:08Stop holding out like this.
12:09It's like talking to a brick wall.
12:11Does he think the entire world revolves around him?
12:14Mr. Sterling, go find your perfect wife, Kaylee.
12:17I'm an outsider.
12:18I don't clean up your messes anymore.
12:22He didn't even flinch.
12:24He looked understanding.
12:27Is it about the title?
12:28The marriage?
12:29Fine.
12:30After Kaylee has the baby, I'll consider it.
12:31But keep it a secret.
12:32I won't hurt her feelings.
12:34I stared at him.
12:35My voice cold as ice.
12:36I'll say it one last time.
12:38Get lost.
12:38I don't want to remarry you.
12:40Not in this life.
12:41Not ever.
12:42Xavier's face twisted into a blind rage.
12:45Sienna, don't push your luck.
12:47This is New York.
12:48I can crush your pathetic little firm in a heartbeat.
12:50Suddenly, a smooth, lazy voice cuts through the air.
12:53Wow, that's a lot of talk, Mr. Sterling.
12:56Harassing my fiancé?
12:57Threatening her in public?
13:02Xavier turned, his smug look vanishing instantly.
13:05It was Liam Knight, his rival since birth.
13:08Heir to the Knight Empire.
13:09Liam walked over, lazy and confident.
13:12He pulled me close, wrapping a steady arm around my waist.
13:14He leaned his head on my shoulder, acting clingy.
13:17Babe, I've been waiting in the garage forever.
13:19Why are you standing here listening to dogs bark?
13:22Sienna, explain this.
13:24Are you betraying me?
13:26I get it.
13:26You're just using Liam to make me jealous!
13:29His face twisted into a delusional smirk.
13:32Liam gave a huge, dramatic roll of his eyes.
13:34Stop talking to idiots, honey.
13:36It drops your IQ.
13:37Stop right there!
13:38Xavier screamed, trying to chase us.
13:40But the fury and weeks of stress finally hit him at once.
13:43A sharp, stabbing pain ripped through his gut.
13:46Ah, Sienna, help!
13:47It hurts so bad!
13:48I didn't stop.
13:49I didn't even slow my pace.
13:51I didn't look back once.
13:52Behind me, his assistant was screaming in panic.
13:58Liam didn't give me a chance to argue.
14:00He tossed me into the seat of his flashy red Ferrari.
14:04The engine roared as we tore out of the parking garage.
14:08He whipped off his shades, a smirk playing on his lips.
14:11So, how was my acting?
14:13Pretty convincing, right?
14:14I stayed silent, watching the city blur past the window.
14:17Hey, Sienna, don't be a buzz bill.
14:19He teased.
14:20He nodged me gently with his elbow.
14:21I just saved your skin.
14:23How are you going to thank me?
14:24I looked at him, my face expressionless.
14:26He shrugged, clearly not feeling my cold reaction.
14:29He didn't push it, just turned up the music and sped off.
14:32The next day, Xavier dominated the headlines of every New York papers.
14:36Sterling's CO hospitalized after public meltdown.
14:38The front page featured a grainy juphograph of him being rushed into an ambulance.
14:42Society wits mocked Xavier for his public affair, saying he got exactly what he deserved.
14:47Others wagered he'd come crawling back for a remarriage, whispering that Kaylee couldn't hold a candle to me.
15:06Shut up!
15:12Why did you go see her?
15:16You promised I was the only one!
15:23Stop screaming.
15:26It was for the company.
15:30The company?
15:32Is the company more important than me?
15:36Swear it.
15:38Swear you'll never see Sienna again.
15:40Ever!
15:44Shut up!
15:46If you hadn't ruined the business, I wouldn't have to beg her!
15:54Kayla!
15:55You are completely out of line!
15:58Xavier is sick!
16:00Why are you acting like a maniac?
16:02If Sienna were here, she'd be taking care of him!
16:05She wouldn't be throwing a tantrum like a child!
16:09I...
16:30Sienna!
16:33I'm not a maid!
16:35I'm not a maid!
16:35I'm not a maid!
16:36I'm not a maid!
16:38And don't forget, I'm carrying the air to this family!
16:44How dare you talk back!
16:46I'm not a maid!
16:48Get out!
16:49Get out!
16:50All of you!
16:51Out!
16:51Get out now!
16:55Xavier collapsed back into the sheets.
16:58A muffled, broken sob escaped the covers.
17:02For the first time in his life, he felt true regret.
17:05He regretted letting Sienna go.
17:08With Sienna, the company was a well-oiled machine.
17:11The house was perfect.
17:13Life was effortless.
17:16He only had to play the great CEO.
17:19But now, Kaylee filled the office with her useless relatives.
17:24Projects were failing.
17:26Red lights everywhere.
17:29By then, his best people had already walked out.
17:32Even his parents did nothing but complain.
17:35It felt like years ago when the firm was bankrupt.
17:38Back then, he could just turn around and find her.
17:41She'd smile and say,
17:43Don't worry. I'm here.
17:48Now, he turned around, and there was no one.
18:03The night group contract was officially signed.
18:06My biggest deal since leaving Sterling.
18:08I finally had a foothold.
18:10Liam signed with a flourish and tossed the pen aside.
18:14To our partnership, Ms. Vance.
18:17Dinner tonight?
18:21Raincheck.
18:22His smile faded.
18:24He leaned over the desk, locking eyes with me.
18:27Sienna, how long are you going to keep running?
18:30Don't act like you don't know my intentions.
18:33Since the garage scene, Liam had been relentless.
18:39Flowers, gifts, endless invites.
18:42It was too intense to ignore.
18:49But I kept my distance.
18:57Liam, if this is just a game to spite Xavier, I'm out.
19:02I'm not that bored, Sienna.
19:07The truth is, I've actually fallen for you.
19:14Give me a chance.
19:16One dinner.
19:17My treat.
19:19I'll tell you a secret.
19:21About Xavier Sterling.
19:22The refusal on the tip of my tongue dissolved.
19:26Fine.
19:36The receptionist burst in, looking frantic.
19:39I'm so sorry, boss.
19:41I couldn't stop him.
19:43I waved her off, staring at the uninvited guests.
19:45Xavier sat in a wheelchair, leading the pack.
19:48He looked like a ghost.
19:49Sailor skin.
19:50Sunten eyes.
19:51Sienna.
19:52I'm here to take you home.
19:53I felt zero pity.
19:54Only pure irritation.
19:55I picked up the phone and dialed security.
19:58Security, get these trespassers out.
20:00Now.
20:01Xavier froze.
20:02He didn't expect me to be this cold.
20:03His eyes turned red instantly.
20:05Sienna, how can you do this to me?
20:07I've realized it now.
20:08We're perfect for each other.
20:10I'm divorcing Kayla.
20:11Just come back to me.
20:13In my past life, this weakness would have broken me.
20:15Now?
20:16It was just noise.
20:17I feel nothing for you, Xavier.
20:19Who you marry or divorce is none of my business.
20:22I'm done being your slave.
20:24He looked devastated, like I'd slapped him.
20:27Was our marriage a lie?
20:29Not even one chance?
20:31When he saw my cold gaze, his grief turned to malice.
20:35Sienna, don't you forget.
20:37He hissed.
20:38I paid for your tuition.
20:39You wouldn't have a degree without me.
20:42Now your wings are strong and you just dump me?
20:45Save Sterling Global.
20:46Five years.
20:47That's all I ask.
20:47He finally played his last card, the gratitude card.
20:50I went silent.
20:51I hesitated for a second.
20:53Then, a warm hand covered mine.
20:55Liam was standing right beside me.
20:57Xavier, you have no soul.
20:58Using a pathetic lie to blackrail her?
21:02Disgusting.
21:03Liam?
21:03What are you doing here?
21:05Liam let out a cold, sharp laugh.
21:07I'm glad I'm here.
21:08Otherwise, I'd never know that you stole credit from my charity to blackmail the woman I love.
21:13You're lying!
21:14Shut up!
21:15Xavier screamed, panicking.
21:17I paid for her tuition.
21:18It was me!
21:20Is that so?
21:20Liam smirked, pulling out a stack of documents.
21:23Sienna, look for yourself.
21:25These are my transfer records to your account, from high school through college, every single cent.
21:30The papers laid out every transaction, clear as day.
21:34The dates and amounts matched my scholarship perfectly.
21:36Recipient high school grant, Benefit Sherry, Sienna Vance.
21:39In my past life, and this one, I believed it was Xavier.
21:42Freshman year, he claimed he was my anonymous donor.
21:45Out of gratitude, I gave him my loyalty.
21:47Because of that lie, I fell for him.
21:49I let him trample my dignity, because I thought I owed him.
21:53It was all a lie, from the very beginning.
21:55Xavier was still struggling, stiff with denial.
21:58I was by your side for ten years!
22:00Even without the money, you owe me one last favor.
22:03Typical.
22:04He was playing the emotional card again.
22:06Have you forgotten how much you used to love me?
22:08I'll forgive your affair.
22:10Let's just go back.
22:11I almost laughed.
22:12The audacity was mind-blowing.
22:14Even now, he was trying to gaslight me.
22:16Xavier, do you really think I'm that stupid?
22:19My voice was low, turning the air to ice.
22:22That night in a stranger's bed, you set it up.
22:27You were the one who drugged my drink.
22:29Xavier's face went paper-white immensely.
22:31He gasped for air, unable to utter a single word.
22:34I shook my head, my last bit of pity turning to ash.
22:37My biggest regret is ever being with a liar like you.
22:40No.
22:42It wasn't like that.
22:44You love me!
22:45You're supposed to me!
22:49Finally, security burst through his bodyguards.
22:52They rolled him and his wheelchair out the front door.
22:55Finally, the world was quiet.
22:57The conference room fell into a heavy silence.
23:00Liam wouldn't look at me, staring at the carpet.
23:04Actually, I have a thing at the-
23:06Wrist.
23:07Didn't you say you wanted dinner?
23:09He jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
23:12I'm not trying to blackmail you.
23:14Don't get the wrong idea.
23:15You don't have to date me just because I paid for school.
23:18Seeing his stubborn, shy face, my heart doinily cleared.
23:22I couldn't but let out a soft laugh.
23:25I know.
23:26I kept my grip on his wrist, not letting go.
23:28I just...
23:30Really, really want to have dinner with you.
23:32So, Mr. Knight?
23:34Are you free?
23:35Under my gaze, his face turned a deep crimson.
23:40Finally, he gave a tiny, subtle nod.
23:42No, I'm fine.
23:43What, I haven't just watched anyone else.
23:47I'm fine.
23:47You
