00:10Oh my God, my girlfriend.
00:22I'm only a girl from the Bajos Barrio.
00:25But somehow, I became a black man from the elite.
00:28What a desperdicio.
00:30Una belleza así, y le quedan menos de tres días de vida.
00:32Tres, una bestia como Cyrus quizás solo le dé una noche.
00:35Este es el hombre que me obligó a venir aquí.
00:38El hombre más poderoso del mundo, y el más despiadado.
00:43Por favor perdone mi rey Alfa, ¡no!
00:53Se acabó el tiempo. Mi novia no va a esperar a nadie.

01:09Chamos, rep clever boat.

01:14Ría Alfa.
01:17This night I'm going to take care of my virginity, like a depredator who was destroying his presa.
01:25Three days ago, I was looking for trash.
01:30Like every other day.
01:36Oh no, Dad told me that I could never take care of it.
01:58Oye, pequeña, ¿por qué hueles tan rico?
02:14El olor.
02:22No hace falta buscar más.
02:23Ya encontré a mi novia.
02:31¡No me acerquen!
02:43Arrodillense.
02:47Él es el Rey Alfa.
03:07Hueles delicioso.
03:09Desde hoy, eres mía.
03:11No es un monstruo despiadado.
03:19¡Qué valiente!

04:01Pues sí, me voy a comprar ropa nueva.
04:03Tengo que verme en el cajón.
04:04Tengo que verme bien para mi próximo esposo.
04:05¡Quítate!
04:06Tu madre ya se murió.
04:08Tu papá es el siguiente.
04:10Y tú te vas a pudrir en este hoyo mientras nosotras subimos.
04:22¡Papá!
04:23¡Papá!
04:23¡Respira!
04:24¡Necesita el oxígeno!
04:26¡Se va a morir en minutos!

28:31i floated it all the way to the house we'd bought for our wedding
28:33i kicked the front door open
28:35the stink of smoke and sex hit me in the face the second i stepped inside
28:38wearing a super trashy nurse outfit
28:40condoms were scattered everywhere
28:41i froze in pure shock
28:43Amber spotted me first
28:44and let out a piercing scream
28:45i stared at what was left of that nurse uniform
28:49Ashley!
28:50i spent five years getting her into those scrubs
28:52it took her exactly five seconds to turn them into cheap lingerie and screw my fiance
28:59Damon walked her out
29:00literally shielding her with his own body
29:02i hadn't even done anything yet
29:03but he acted like i was some crazy bitch about to attack her
29:06then it was just the two of us standing in the room
29:09i stared at the face i grew up with
29:12childhood sweethearts
29:12twenty damn years together
29:14he used to swear he'd be my shadow
29:16that he'd follow me everywhere
29:18but right now
29:18i didn't recognize him at all
29:21don't look at me like that
29:22you only have yourself to blame
29:24you're always busy
29:25you always have another surgery
29:28i ask you to dinner you have rounds
29:30i ask you to a movie you're on call
29:32even if i want to pick a fight with you
29:33i have to schedule it three days in advance
29:35he actually sounded like the victim here
29:37like i was the one who screwed up
29:39like i was the cheating one
29:40then he claimed amber was different
29:42he said she actually cared about his feelings
29:43she actually went with him to ski in aspen
29:45and try new mission starred restaurants
29:47his voice literally softened
29:49when he talked about their dates
29:51every single date you bailed on
29:52she was there for me
29:55every single word felt like a knife twisting in my chest
29:58i was so hurt i went completely numb
30:01i took a deep breath and walked right up to him
30:03then i slapped him hard across the face
30:04he didn't even flinch
30:05his cigarette dropped from his fingers
30:07and sparks flew onto the bedsheets
30:09he looked up at me
30:10i finally saw a flicker of emotion in his eyes
30:13got that out of your system
30:14good
30:15now leave amber alone
30:16i opened my mouth to say something back
30:18but my phone suddenly went off
30:20it was the hospital
30:21i had another surgery in 30 minutes
30:23damon let out a sudden dry laugh
30:25it was quiet
30:26but it felt like needles stabbing right into my ears
30:29go on dr reynolds
30:30your fiancee just slept with your half sister
30:33and you still have to go scrub in
30:34i gripped my phone and just walked away
30:36terrified the tears were gonna spill
30:39the surgical lights were absolutely blinding
30:41i swallowed my tears
30:42and kept a rock solid grip on that scalpel
30:49congratulations on finally getting your six months off for the wedding
30:54for months i burned through all my peo for this break
30:57i packed my schedule with every single surgery i could take in advance
31:01my blood sugar dropped so low i actually passed out in the locker room once
31:06i just chugged a gatorade and went right back to work
31:10damon picked me up that day
31:11he saw my pale lips and hugged me like he was so heartbroken
31:16don't work so hard
31:16let's just get married sooner so you can rest at home
31:18looking back now
31:19his hands had already been all over someone else
31:22the second that door clicked shut
31:24i just collapsed onto the floor
31:25tears finally started pouring through my fingers
31:27go away
31:27growing up i could never shake damon off
31:29then at 18 he handed me a note
31:31i'll follow you anywhere
31:32i don't want to be a shadow anymore
31:33i want to stand right beside you
31:35that was the start of us
31:37from 18 to 28
31:38for 10 whole years
31:40he kept every single promise
31:42he always picked me up after late night shifts
31:44everyone swore we were absolute couple vows
31:47i'm grateful for you but i hate you even more
31:50i pulled out my phone and saw a new text from amber
31:52you pulled me out of the dirt
31:54and showed me how good life could actually be
31:56a respected doctor beach resorts and a man who loves you
31:59but why do you get all that
32:02we share the exact same father
32:03why do you get to live like a princess
32:06while i have to kneel in the mud and thank you for scraps
32:09i couldn't steal the rest of your perfect life
32:11so i just took your man instead
32:14i stared at that text and just had to laugh
32:16amber totally forgot how she crawled her way out of those strawberry fields
32:19i still remember that scorching day in the strawberry fields
32:22her nails were caked in dirt and her hands were cracked open with bloody scabs
32:25i cried until my eyes were swollen
32:27my only goal was to pull her out of that dirt and give her a good life
32:30first we cleaned up those cuts and bought her brand new clothes
32:34her nursing school tuition was completely on me
32:36those late nights were spent drilling for the nckel together
32:39my only goal was to pull her out of that dirt and give her a good life
32:43she used to tell me i was her only family and the best sister ever
32:48never ever betray
32:51she swore i was the one person she would never ever betray
32:54my phone screen blurred
32:56i wiped my eyes and got ready to stand up
32:58the er just got a pregnant patient who started bleeding out after having rough love manning
33:01i heard some nurses chatting outside my door
33:04her guy looks super rich
33:05he came in threatening to sue everyone in this hospital into bankruptcy
33:08luckily the baby is fine
33:09but i swear that guy looks exactly like dr reynolds fiance
33:12is dr reynolds the side girl or something
33:14the footsteps slowly fade down the hall
33:16i heamed back against the door
33:17my whole body turning ice cold
33:19i finally stood up
33:20through the glass window of the patient room
33:23i saw damon gently comforting amber
33:25i pushed the door open
33:27don't blame me ashley
33:28you gave me a taste of the good life
33:32so don't be mad that i want more
33:34just let me have damon
33:36i froze right there in my tracks
33:38my eyes fell on her small baby hump
33:42you might as well know
33:44she's pregnant and it's mine
33:46she's three months along
33:47three months my mind went completely numb
33:49three months ago damon went on a business trip right when a sudden earthquake hit
33:53every call and text i sent went unanswered
33:55i got emergency time off that night and drove straight there
33:59halfway there and after the self hit
34:00the impact threw me forward and my stomach slammed into the steering wheel
34:04that baby the one i hadn't even told anyone about yet
34:09i'm so sorry baby
34:11that was the first time i ever saw him cry
34:13we'll have another baby i promise we will
34:15i stroked his hair my heart aching for him
34:17but he was never on a business trip
34:19he was screwing around with amber
34:21that was when they got pregnant
34:23and i lost hours on the highway trying to save him
34:25you might be better than me
34:27but my baby is way luckier than yours ever was
34:35Ashley Reynolds enough if you have a problem take it out on me
34:40three years ago on the night of our proposal a ring went onto my finger
34:45then he pressed this exact pocket knife into my hand
34:50Ashley Reynolds you are the only one for me
34:53if i ever betray you take this knife
34:55a wave of pure rage and heartbreak suddenly exploded in my chest
34:59tears stung my eyes
35:00the urge to actually stab him was overwhelming
35:02i wanted to press the tip against his chest and scream
35:04why how could you
35:05he needed to feel my pain
35:06he needed to know what a backstab from your favorite person felt like
35:10Ashley i'm the one who messed up leave him out of this
35:13i gripped the knife and took one step forward
35:15just one step
35:17Damon's eyes went cold
35:18he yanked amber behind him and shoved me so hard i flew backwards
35:22the back of my head slammed against the hard tile floor
35:24my ears rang violently
35:25once my vision finally focused i saw him holding amber
35:29did you bump your stomach
35:30it absolutely wrecked me
35:31the hallway was packed with onlookers
35:33i had never been so humiliated in front of my call works in my entire life
35:36once a confident top-tier surgeon i was now sprawled on the floor like a hysterical lunaturk
35:41a dull throbbing pain spread through my skull
35:43when i was eight my dying mother held my hand
35:46she told me not to cry because she was going to heaven
35:48but her lifeless arm dropped anyway
35:50i collapsed onto my knees and sobbed until i passed out
35:53my child's mind believed it was my fault
35:55i thought she died because i didn't listen to her
35:57after that day tears became a thing of the past
35:59i didn't cry when i failed to match into residency
36:01i didn't cry after a failed surgery
36:03not even when i lost my baby
36:04i grew up knowing her death wasn't my fault
36:06but that deep insecurity it never left
36:08some twisted part of me always believed my mother left
36:10because i wasn't away at that shell
36:12twenty years went into making me believe i deserved to be cherished
36:15and he was also the one who turned me back into someone i didn't even recognize
36:18i pushed myself up from the cold floor and walked straight out of the room
36:21back in my office my approved leave form sat on my desk
36:24right next to it was the application for the prestigious fellowship program
36:27my department chair offered me this fellowship two months ago
36:30it was a massive deal
36:31coming back guaranteed a promotion to head of general surgery
36:36i still remember telling damon about the opportunity
36:40he was so gentle
36:42promising to support my career and wait for me forever
36:45the thought of leaving him after all his waiting was too painful
36:49so i submitted my leave request
36:51ten years is a long time
36:52choosing marriage over a fellowship is a solid move
36:55but i just hope he deserves you
36:56it turned out her warning was spot on
36:58the approved leave form got torn to shreds
37:00and tossed right into the trash
37:02then my signature went straight onto the fellowship application
37:06the moment the pen lifted
37:08a sudden wave of relief washed over me
37:10i could finally breathe
37:12amber's laptop was still open on the desk
37:14so i logged into her instagram
37:15her feed was packed with posts
37:17the two of them posing in the snow
37:19holding hands in the theater
37:21sharing romantic dinners
37:22every single update was manually hidden from my view
37:32i was the only idiot kept completely in the dark
37:36i was a total joke
37:38and everyone was laughing at me
37:40my mouse kept scrolling through the photos
37:42suddenly
37:46i thought i'd changed her
37:47she was out of the strawberry fields finally an independent professional
37:50but deep down
37:51she was still cheap trash
37:52her only talent was using her body to please men
37:54she forgot that it came with strict rules
37:56the california board of nursing can permanent revake licenses for workplace sexual misconduct
38:00and she was laying in the middle of the forest
38:00so that she was all the best
