Short filmTranscript
00:03I was thunderstruck because of work separation. I haven't seen my husband for a year. She didn't
00:09notice anything was wrong. She waved the invitation in her hand. I forced a smile and took the
00:20invitation from her, trying to look calm. In the father section, I saw my husband's name,
00:25Ethan Walker. In the mother section, Wendy Foster. I didn't know this woman. I memorized the hotel
00:31address, then handed the invitation back. That weekend, I went to the hotel on the invitation.
00:37The party was lively. A pretty woman stood at the entrance holding a one-month-old baby girl,
00:42greeting guests. She smiled at me. You must be from my husband's office. His company really does
00:47hire all the pretty ones. Please come in. Waves of shock crashed inside me. I looked at the baby in
00:52her arms. She was fair-skinned and clean. Her eyes and brows had a trace of Ethan. I kept my
00:58face blank
00:59and asked, Where's Ethan? Ethan went to pick up my in-laws. They'll be here soon.
01:04Two days ago, my in-laws had told me they booked a senior tour group and would be traveling for
01:09two
01:09weeks. I was worried their retirement savings wouldn't cover it. So I sent my mother-in-law $1,200
01:15as a travel fund. All these years, I treated them like my own parents. I never thought they'd been lying
01:21to me. Just like Ethan, Wendy didn't notice the storm brewing behind my eyes. She led me to the
01:27section reserved for Ethan's co-workers. Man, Ethan's so lucky. Gorgeous wife and now a daughter
01:34who's even prettier. Several men and women chimed in. Wendy, you made the right call. I'll admit I was
01:40a little worried when you quit your job to stay home. Six years later, you and Ethan are still this
01:45happy. And now you have a baby together. I'm so happy for you guys. My nails digging into my palms,
01:52I realized that my marriage to Ethan was only seven years old. And he'd been cheating on me
01:57with Wendy for over six of them. What's even more ridiculous, I'd had no idea. For seven whole years,
02:04even this morning, he'd sent me his usual good morning kiss emoji and a text, thinking of you,
02:09babe. For the past seven years, we had a good marriage. He'd never lost his temper with me.
02:15He told me his salary was 5800. Kept only 150 for himself and gave me the rest. He used his
02:22annual
02:23bonus to buy me a bracelet every year. A year ago, he talked to me about a relocation for work
02:28that would raise his monthly salary by $1,500. He said we needed to think about our son's future.
02:35After much thought, I agreed to let him relocate to a city a thousand miles away.
02:40Now I saw that he was like night itself. I could no longer see him clearly at all.
02:45Ethan's doing great. He's been top salesman for years. His base salary is $5800 and he rakes in
02:51commissions every month. I realized then that the salary he told me was only his base pay,
02:56and his commissions were used to support his other family. Wendy, you really know how to handle your
03:02man. Tell me your secret. How does Ethan listen to you and treat you so well?
03:07I was curious too. I glanced at Wendy without changing my expression.
03:12It's just that Ethan is a good guy. I'm lucky to have found him. Husband and wife need to
03:18understand each other. If you worried he might cheat, just keep control of the money. Ethan gives
03:23me his whole paycheck and only keeps $150 a month for cigarettes. And he uses his bonus to buy me
03:29a
03:29bracelet every year. You know what they say? Where his money goes, his heart follows.
03:36He gave Wendy his bonus to buy bracelets. Then what had he been giving me? They chatted animatedly,
03:43completely oblivious to me standing there like an iceberg, silent, out of place, frozen.
03:48Wendy's phone rang. She smiled.
03:52It's Ethan calling me. Here, hold her for a sec.
03:55She casually placed the baby in my arms. The baby, light as a ball of cotton, lay quietly in my
04:01arms.
04:01She opened her bright eyes and didn't cry or fuss. I looked at her with complicated emotions.
04:07Even though I felt like falling apart, seeing this soft little creature, I pushed the emotions down.
04:12Wendy stood right next to me. Ethan's voice came clearly through the phone.
04:16Babe, you just finished postpartum recovery. Don't overdo it, okay? I've picked up mom and dad.
04:22Don't worry. I'm not tired. Take your time. Seriously. Don't rush.
04:27As soon as she hung up, a chorus of envious voices rose.
04:31You two are so sweet. At the office, he texts you every single hour.
04:35Wendy, you really found a good one. Even if every other guy cheated, Ethan never would.
04:41I used to think Ethan was very attentive to me, calling and texting every day.
04:46Even though the calls were short, under a minute. But I never suspected he was unfaithful.
04:51Work, family, the child, all the big and small things filled my time.
04:55He was also busy with work. I never imagined he was sharing every little detail of his life with
05:01another woman. I carried the baby and found an empty seat. I noticed the baby was wearing a
05:06custom silver bracelet. The charm was a star. I recognized it immediately.
05:11Seven years ago, when I first found out I was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl,
05:16my mother had ordered a matching pair of silver bracelets from a jeweler,
05:19one with an angel charm, one with a star. She traveled a thousand miles to an old church
05:25to have them blessed. But fate wasn't kind. There were complications during delivery,
05:30and only our son survived. I was devastated. The birth had damaged my uterus,
05:35and I could no longer have more children. Of the pair, the angel bracelet had been worn by my son
05:40from the day he was born. The star one I'd kept carefully locked in our home safe.
05:45Whenever I thought of the daughter I'd never held, I'd take out that bracelet and cry for a long time.
05:50My hands trembled as I touched the star pattern and gently turned it over. Engraved on the back
05:55were the letters, Eleanor. That was my mother's name. I'd chosen it for my unborn daughter to honor her.
06:01My daughter's name is Eleanor. Ethan picked it. Wendy walked over smiling and sat down next to me.
06:07He also had this bracelet custom made for her. You have no idea how much he loves having a daughter.
06:13My heart shattered into tiny pieces. I forced myself to stay calm. He treats you well.
06:19Wendy smiled and chatted as if we were old friends. You must be pretty new at the company.
06:24I used to know all the old employees. After I left, Ethan told me they hired a lot of new
06:29people.
06:29I gave an insincere. The company treats people well, but there's a lot of travel. Ethan only
06:35stopped traveling this past year. He used to travel all the time. We'd barely see each other for weeks.
06:43But now we've made it through.
06:45Bitter smile touched my lips. Yay. Before Ethan was relocated out of state a year ago,
06:50he used to travel about half of every month. I felt bad for him, always moving from city to city.
06:55So I never asked him to worry about anything at home. When his parents got sick, needed hospital
07:01stays, or required care, I never made him handle any of it. Even the intimacy between us had dwindled
07:07over the years, but I never complained. Now I understood. He'd never been on business trips.
07:13He'd been taking care of another home. Wendy showed no sign of taking the baby back.
07:18She got up from time to time to greet more friends and relatives. She looked at the baby,
07:22quiet and content in my arms, and said in surprise. My daughter really likes you. When I ask my friends
07:28to hold her, she always cries. You've been holding her for so long and she hasn't cried at all.
07:34It's amazing. I said flatly. Maybe it's because I have a kid too. I've had practice. Well then,
07:40thanks for holding her. I need to go greet some new arrivals. She was delighted and didn't stand on
07:45ceremony. I nodded. She walked off to greet the guests without a worry. I looked at the large banner
07:51hanging in the center of the room. It read, Welcome, Eleanor. I felt as if my body had been filled
07:57with
07:57shards of glass. My son had never had a welcome party. At the time, the whole family was drowning
08:02in the pain of losing the other twin. Ethan had insisted we not hold a celebration. My parents
08:08disagreed. They thought a welcome party was an important milestone, but he refused, saying the grief
08:14of losing her daughter was too much. And now that he had a daughter, he was perfectly happy to throw
08:19a
08:19big celebration. I was the only one who still remembered the daughter who never got to be
08:24born. Suddenly, my mother-in-law called. I didn't hesitate. I answered. Jenna, did you see the text
08:30I sent you? Her voice sounded normal. No. My voice was as cold as ice. Are you at the supermarket
08:35or
08:35something? It's noisy. Go read my text. I can't hear you. Just message me back. She hung up. I opened
08:42the
08:42messaging app. 20 minutes ago, she'd sent me. Jenna, I need $3,000. Transfer it now. Don't ask questions.
08:51My fingers gripping the phone turned white. Blood rushed to my head. Not only had his whole family
08:57been lying to me, but now they wanted me to pay for the illegitimate daughter's gift. I was so angry
09:02I laughed. I didn't reply. She texted again. Did you send it yet? After all I've done for you,
09:08you can't even help family. I still didn't reply. I was waiting for her to show up at the party.
09:14A moment later, another message came. She scolded me. I always thought you had some decency.
09:19I was wrong. You're worthless. Fine. Don't expect anything from us ever again. A mocking,
09:26cold smile curled on my lips. All those words about, I treat you like my own daughter. You're
09:31wonderful. The Walker family is so lucky to have you. All of it had been lies. A joke at my
09:36expense.
09:37Wendy came back while still on the phone. I clearly heard Ethan's voice from the receiver.
09:42Babe, mom found another bracelet for our little treasure. You don't have to buy anything.
09:47Our baby already has plenty of jewelry. Ethan added,
09:51This one's different. It's the angel bracelet that was blessed at the old church.
09:55It's special. Not like ordinary jewelry. My blood boiled. I was so angry I almost lost control.
10:02Two days ago, my son Leo left for summer camp. Before he left, Margaret made him take off his
10:08bracelet so he wouldn't lose it. He took it off and gave it to her for safekeeping. I never imagined
10:13she'd now give my son's bracelet to Ethan's illegitimate daughter. Tell her thanks.
10:18Wendy smiled sweetly. Whatever. Just get everything ready. We'll be there in 10.
10:22We're almost there. See you soon. As soon as she hung up, Wendy reached for the baby. But then she
10:27saw
10:28more guests arriving and hurried off to greet them again. I kept holding their illegitimate
10:32daughter. The baby stayed remarkably quiet in my arms. I looked at her silently.
10:37Your welcome party will be unforgettable for everyone.
10:42Finally, I heard the voices of Ethan and his family arriving late. I carried his illegitimate
10:47daughter onto the small stage. Babe, where's our baby? As he asked Wendy, I picked up the microphone
10:53and said in a voice, Dear, your bastard is right here in my arms.
10:59For a second, the room went completely silent. Every eye turned to me on the stage. Then chaos
11:04erupted. The guests buzzed like boiling water. Ethan looked like he'd been struck by lightning.
11:10He stared at me, frozen. My in-law's faces turned even pallor. Wendy looked dazed, as if she'd been hit
11:16by a truck. But her instinct was still to trust Ethan. She hurried over to me, trying to keep her
11:21emotions in check, and spoke gently. I'm sorry, I don't know your name. I thought you were one of
11:27Ethan's co-works. Are you and Ethan having some kind of conflict? We can talk it out.
11:33Please give me the baby first, okay? My cold face and sharp eyes frightened her.
11:38She reached out carefully, afraid I might hurt the baby if she made the wrong move.
11:42I didn't hand the baby over. Instead, I said, I've been his legal wife for seven years.
11:47We have a six-year-old son. Do you think we have a conflict?
11:51Wendy's face went white. Her legs buckled, and she stepped back. Tears streamed down her face.
11:57That can't be... I stared at Ethan and asked coldly.
12:01Honey, tell me, how many years have we been married?
12:05The word honey dripped with sarcasm. Evryon's eyes burned into Ethan like fire. His face flushed red
12:11all the way to his neck. He stood there frozen.
12:14I always thought Ethan was divorced. Turns out he never even left his first wife.
12:19So which one's his actual wife?
12:20How does a guy end up with two?
12:23No wonder that woman on stage didn't say a word earlier.
12:27I could tell something was off.
12:28I looked at my in-laws, who were also humiliated and awkward.
12:32Dad, Mom...
12:33I said deliberately,
12:34Tell everyone, which one of us is your daughter-in-law?
12:39Wendy stared hard at them too. My in-laws lowered their heads and didn't answer.
12:43Ethan looked like a man with a knife at his throat.
12:46He walked onto the stage, one painful step at a time.
12:50Wendy cried and grabbed his arm.
12:52Tell me, what's going on? Which one of us is the other woman?
12:56Ethan tried to calm her, guilt-heavy in his voice.
12:59Don't get upset. I'll explain everything.
13:02Wendy wouldn't let it go.
13:04I want you to tell me right now.
13:06She pointed at me with the hand that wore her wedding ring.
13:08She's crashed our baby's welcome party.
13:10This needs to be cleared up in front of everyone.
13:13Whether I'm the other woman or she is, we were both deceived by you.
13:17We're both victims.
13:18I recognized that ring.
13:20When Ethan and I got married, I'd fallen in love with that exact design.
13:24But it cost $2,500.
13:27Too expensive.
13:28I'd settle it for a 250 gold band instead.
13:31Back then, Ethan's eyes had reddened with guilt.
13:34He promised me that someday, when he could afford it,
13:36he'd buy it for me.
13:38Now he could afford it.
13:39And it was on another woman's finger.
13:41Ethan looked up at me.
13:42A mess of emotions swirled in his eyes.
13:45Shame, fear, guilt.
13:47His lips moved with difficulty.
13:49I'm sorry.
13:49Let's not do this here.
13:51Can we go home and talk?
13:52His voice was so low that only the three of us could hear.
13:55I was so angry I could feel my teeth grinding.
13:58I deliberately raised the microphone.
14:02What did you say, dear?
14:03My voice carried to every corner of the room.
14:05Go home?
14:07Which home?
14:08The one with me or the one with Wendy?
14:12He was even more ashamed, unable to face me.
14:15He stepped forward and reached for the microphone.
14:19Please, stop.
14:20I stepped back and pulled the microphone away.
14:23Answer me.
14:24How many families do you have?
14:27Who is your wife?
14:28What are you even doing here today?
14:29Wendy stepped closer, pulling at his arm.
14:32Tell her!
14:32Ethan was forced to answer.
14:35You're my wife.
14:37I'm sorry.
14:38I shouldn't have cheated.
14:39The crowd erupted again.
14:41Wendy broke down crying and pounded his chest.
14:43Then what am I?
14:45How could you do this to me?
14:46Suddenly she remembered something.
14:48No!
14:49We have a marriage certificate!
14:52I'm your lawful wife.
14:54You married me properly.
14:56Ethan couldn't look at her.
14:57He had to admit it.
14:59The marriage certificate is fake.
15:01Wendy's legs gave way.
15:02She collapsed onto the floor, her sobs heartbreaking.
15:06She screamed at him through tears.
15:08Fake?
15:09You gave me a wedding gift.
15:11You gave me a wedding.
15:12You were there when my parents died.
15:15And now we have a child and you tell me it's all fake?
15:18Ethan, how could you do this to me?
15:20Ethan stood between Wendy and me, trapped by his own guilt, not knowing which way to turn.
15:25I spoke to Wendy.
15:26He treated you better than he ever treated me.
15:27He gave me his base salary, $5,500 a month.
15:32Every penny of his commissions went to you.
15:34Every year he bought you real Tiffany bracelets.
15:37The ones he gave me were fake.
15:38His story about being relocated for work, also fake.
15:41He's been living with you openly, playing the role of your husband.
15:44I lifted her daughter's wrist and shook the silver bracelet on it.
15:48Do you know where this bracelet came from?
15:50She looked confused, waiting for me to explain.
15:53Seven years ago, I was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl.
15:57My mother had a matching pair of custom bracelets made.
16:00One with an angel charm, one with a star.
16:03She had them engraved with the name Eleanor and took them to an old church to be blessed.
16:08Oh, and your daughter's name?
16:09I chose it for the daughter I never got to hold.
16:11I never imagined he'd give my daughter's things to your daughter.
16:15My voice caught.
16:16Even now, thinking about the baby I'd lost, still cut like a knife.
16:20I looked at my in-laws standing in the crowd.
16:23My dear mother-in-law wanted to take the angel bracelet my son wears and give it to this nameless
16:28granddaughter.
16:29My heart turned to ice.
16:31All those years of care.
16:32And this was how they repaid me.
16:34It feels like a knife stabbed into my throat.
16:36For seven years of marriage?
16:37How did I treat you?
16:39Seven years.
16:40How many times have you been in the hospital?
16:43I was the one by your bedsides taking care of everything.
16:46A few days ago, you said you were going on a trip.
16:48I sent you $1,200 for it.
16:51I treated you like my own parents.
16:53And you?
16:54How did you treat me?
16:56How did you treat your only grandson?
16:58Margaret publicly called out.
17:00Looked like she wanted to crawl into a hole.
17:02The surrounding guest's comments stripped the old couple of any remaining dignity.
17:06I can't believe it.
17:07The guy's a total jerk.
17:09And his parents actually enabled him to cheat?
17:12Like father, like son.
17:13The whole family's a disgrace.
17:15She was a good wife.
17:16They didn't deserve her.
17:17Anyone would be unlucky to marry into that family.
17:20Ethan wrapped his arms around me.
17:22His voice thick with tears.
17:23I'm sorry.
17:24I'm such an asshole.
17:26You've worked so hard.
17:28I won't make the same mistake again.
17:30Forgive me this once.
17:31I've been such a jerk.
17:34Wendy watched him.
17:35Her tears also turned into a bitter laugh.
17:38She grabbed Ethan's arm.
17:39Then she slapped him as hard as she could.
17:41What about me?
17:42How are you going to make this up to me?
17:44You bastard!
17:46Her whole body was shaking.
17:47Her delicate makeup ruined by tears.
17:50Ethan said guiltily.
17:51I'm sorry.
17:52I lied to you.
17:53And I wasted your time.
17:55You'll find someone better than a piece of garbage like me.
17:58Wendy laughed hysterically.
18:02Garbage?
18:03Garbage!
18:04Ethan barely glanced at her.
18:06He looked back at me.
18:07His eyes red again.
18:09Babe, can we go home?
18:10I looked down at the baby.
18:12What about her?
18:14What do you plan to do?
18:15I know you always wanted a daughter.
18:17If you're willing to raise her, we can keep her.
18:19Wendy stumbled toward me and fell to her knees.
18:22Her voice trembled.
18:24Please.
18:25Please give me my baby back.
18:27She reached out carefully, terrified that if she upset me.
18:31I won't fight you for him.
18:33You can have him.
18:34She sobbed.
18:37Don't take my baby.
18:38I swear I didn't know he had a family.
18:39Seeing her so desperate for her child, as a mother myself, I felt for her.
18:44I started to remove the bracelet from the baby's wrist.
18:46Wendy flinched, wanting to tell me to be gentle, but afraid to speak.
18:51Don't worry.
18:52I won't hurt her.
18:54Wendy pleaded.
18:55She's hungry.
18:56Let me feed her.
18:58Please, give her back.
19:00I need you to answer a few questions first.
19:03She nodded, ready to tell me anything.
19:06How much money did Ethan give you?
19:08Including the engagement gift, the wedding, everything.
19:11Without hesitation, she looked me in the eye.
19:14He gave me $25,000 as a wedding gift.
19:18After we got married, he gave me between $4,000 and $7,000 a month.
19:22And every year, he used his bonus to buy me a bracelet.
19:26I know you could sue me for every penny he gave me, so I'm not lying.
19:30I was calmer now.
19:32If I ask you to pay it back, will you?
19:34She nodded.
19:35Yes.
19:36Give me your account number.
19:38I'll transfer it right now.
19:39I was surprised by how quickly she agreed.
19:42I pulled out my phone and showed her my account details.
19:45Wendy took out her phone and made the transfer.
19:48Within a minute, $360,000 appeared in my account.
19:52The money is yours.
19:53I just want my baby.
19:55Can I have her back now?
19:57I walked over, helped her up, and gently placed the baby in her arms.
20:01This is your child.
20:02No one is going to take her from you.
20:04She held the baby tightly, terrified of losing her again, and finally let out a breath of relief.
20:10Then I added,
20:12I'll take the money, but I don't want the man.
20:14With that, I turned and walked out of the party.
20:17Ethan followed me immediately.
20:19We went back to the house we'd shared for seven years.
20:22In the living room, a family portrait hung on the wall.
20:25It used to warm my heart to see it when I came home from work.
20:28Now it felt like a knife cutting into my chest.
20:30Ethan came closer and tried to put his arm around me.
20:33There won't be a next time, just this once.
20:35Don't touch me!
20:37Ethan didn't dare come closer.
20:40He begged.
20:41I'm sorry, babe.
20:43I was out of my mind.
20:45I promise I'll cut her off completely.
20:47We can be a happy family again.
20:49Please!
20:50My in-laws came back.
20:51Margaret spoke with a heavy, fake apologetic tone.
20:55Jenna, I know this is hard on you, but there's nothing I can do.
20:58That baby is still Ethan's.
21:00I hope you can stop dwelling on this.
21:02Just go back to living your life like before.
21:04What's done is done.
21:05Harold said.
21:06Don't bring it up again.
21:07Just focus on the family.
21:08I glared at Ethan.
21:10I'm divorcing you.
21:11You make me sick.
21:12His eyes reddened.
21:13What do I have to do for you to forgive me?
21:15Anything.
21:16I'll do anything.
21:17Hatred surged inside me.
21:19Get out!
21:20I was breaking down, my voice cracking.
21:23He finally understood that I would never forgive him.
21:26I went to the bedroom and locked myself inside.
21:28I saw our wedding photo on the wall.
21:31Ethan smiling.
21:32His arms around me from behind.
21:34I couldn't stand it for another second.
21:37I climbed onto the bed with my shoes on.
21:39Took down the photo.
21:40And stabbed a pair of scissors into Ethan's face again and again.
21:44Outside.
21:45Ethan kept begging.
21:47Then I called my lawyer, Rachel.
21:49And told her everything.
21:50My hands were shaking.
21:52But not from fear.
21:53I want every penny back.
21:54She laughed.
21:56That's my girl.
21:57I'll have the paperwork ready by morning.
21:59I hung up and opened the banking app.
22:01Two clicks later, every joint account was frozen.
22:04Before I left the house, I reached my son's bracelet.
22:07Ethan suddenly fell to his knees.
22:10He grabbed my hands and begged.
22:12I know I was wrong.
22:13For our son's sake, give me one last chance.
22:16Please.
22:16I yanked my hands away.
22:18I went to my other house.
22:20I'd saved most of the money Ethan gave me over the years.
22:23I made about $2,800 a month from my job.
22:27I bought this house with a mortgage a few years ago and paid it off last year.
22:31We'd planned to leave this house to our son.
22:34Now it would be our home, mine and Leo's.
22:36The next day, I realized I'd left my work laptop at the old house.
22:41When I came back to get it, I overheard Margaret talking to Ethan by the door.
22:45Jenna's not coming back.
22:46A divorce might be for the best.
22:49Wendy has a better temperament.
22:51Her grandparents probably left her close to a million in cash and property.
22:55If you marry her, it'll all be yours.
22:58Jenna makes nothing and she's stubborn.
23:00Harold chimed in.
23:01Ethan said listlessly.
23:02If Jenna insists on divorce, I don't have a choice.
23:05I was completely numb inside.
23:06I had my lawyer negotiate the divorce terms.
23:09Custody of Leo went to me.
23:11The rest of the family assets also went to me.
23:14He sent me many messages begging me to take him back.
23:18I ignored them all.
23:19Seeing that I wouldn't change my mind, he agreed to the divorce.
23:23A month later, we signed the divorce papers.
23:26The day after the divorce was final, Wendy came to see me.
23:29Like me, she'd lost weight over the past month.
23:32Ethan said you got divorced.
23:33Yes, I have full custody.
23:36I kept my tone normal and took a sip of my coffee.
23:39She gave a weak smile.
23:40I'm sorry for hurting you.
23:42It's not your fault.
23:43It's Ethan's.
23:45Neither of us is to blame.
23:46I hesitated, then decided to be kind.
23:49I don't know if you're considering being with Ethan before you decide I want you to hear this.
23:52I pulled out my phone and played the recording for her.
23:55Wendy has a better temperament.
23:57Her grandparents left her money.
23:59Wendy looked deeply hurt.
24:01She laughed bitterly.
24:03So I was his second choice?
24:06That whole family is garbage.
24:08I hope you don't fall back in.
24:10Take care of yourself.
24:14I really mean it.
24:15If we just let this go, he'll do the same thing to someone else.
24:18I said.
24:19She nodded slowly.
24:21What do you have in mind?
24:23I pulled out my phone and opened social media.
24:26We post everything.
24:27Her eyes widened.
24:29I'm just fighting back.
24:31I went first.
24:32The city lights behind me.
24:34Hi.
24:35My name is Jenna Collins.
24:37For seven years, I was legally married to Ethan Walker.
24:40Today I found out he's been living a double life with another woman for six of those years.
24:45He faked a marriage certificate.
24:48He stole my late mother's name for his illegitimate daughter.
24:51And he gave her the bracelet that my son wore.
24:54Then I gave the phone to Wendy.
24:56She took a deep breath and started recording.
24:59My name is Wendy Foster.
25:01I'm the other woman.
25:03Except I didn't know I was the other woman.
25:06Ethan told me he was divorced.
25:08I took the phone back and added a caption.
25:11Ethan Walker.
25:12Medical sales.
25:13Lives in Chicago and Dallas.
25:16If you're dating him, run.
25:18And if you're his employer, ask him about his relocation.
25:22I hit post.
25:23Within an hour, it had 5,000 shares.
25:27Wendy looked at her own phone, where our video was playing.
25:31Smiled a real smile.
25:32You deserve so much better.
25:34Ethan isn't good enough for you.
25:36And honestly, he's not good enough for me either.
25:39Her smile became more natural.
25:42Let's introduce ourselves properly.
25:44I'm Wendy.
25:46I paused for only a second, then took her hand.
25:50Jenna.
25:51The afternoon the divorce was finalized, Ethan walked into his office like nothing had happened.
25:57The receptionist didn't say hello.
25:59His assistant wouldn't look at him.
26:02His boss called him into conference room, so everyone could see.
26:06Ethan, we've had three client complaints this morning.
26:09All of them saw that video.
26:11I can explain.
26:12No, you can't. Use company email to coordinate a fake wedding.
26:17You told us you were divorced.
26:19That's fraud.
26:21HR is reviewing your file.
26:23Go home.
26:24Don't come back until we call you.
26:26Ethan walked to his desk to pack his things.
26:28I heard he stole his wife's dead baby's name.
26:31Did you really steal your wife's dead baby's name?
26:34He didn't say anything.
26:36He grabbed his laptop and walked out, head down, face purple.
26:40The video of his walk of shame, was posted online before he reached the parking lot.
26:46His career never recovered.
26:49I heard later that Ethan begged Wendy to take him back for two months.
26:54Not only did she not give in, she grew even more disgusted with him.
26:58Ethan ended up with nothing.
27:00Not Wendy.
27:01Not me.
27:02Not even his reputation.
27:04He'd always played the good husband at work.
27:07He found another job, but his pay was cut in half.
27:12After Wendy refused to take him back, he came crawling to me, using Leo as an excuse every time.
27:19Ever since Leo found out about his father's affair, he'd been cold to Ethan.
27:24My ex-in-laws also showed up at my door, teary-eyed, asking me to come back.
27:29After I left, no one took care of them.
27:32When they got sick, no one drove them to appointments.
27:35They were too cheap to hire a nurse.
27:38Only then did they realize how much I'd done.
27:40Margaret cried and begged.
27:42Jenna, please.
27:44We made a terrible mistake.
27:46You're a good person.
27:47We need you.
27:48Just come home, please.
27:51I looked at her coldly.
27:53You want a free caretaker.
27:55You'll never get a happy ending.
27:57After that, she and Ethan kept showing up, either at my place or Wendy's, until they found out Wendy and
28:03I had become close friends.
28:05That's when Ethan realized we'd joined forces, and no one.
28:08Wendy and I both moved on.
28:10But before either of us found someone who deserved us, we found ourselves first.
28:15The day Leo came home from summer camp, he stood at the door and asked,
28:19Mom, is it true I have a sister?
28:21I knelt down and told him the truth.
28:24He was quiet for a long time.
28:25Then he hugged me and said,
28:27Mom, I'm glad I live with you.
28:29That night, I started a blog.
28:31I called it, The Silent Air.
28:33I wrote about the seven years I lost.
28:35Within a month, I had 50,000 followers.
28:38I started a consulting business, helping women gather evidence before they filed for divorce.
28:44Wendy joined me as a partner.
28:46She handled the legal paperwork.
28:48I handled the emotional strategy.
28:49Within six months, we'd helped 40 women freeze assets, document infidelity, and walk away with what they deserved.
28:56Meanwhile, Ethan was living in a one-bedroom apartment above a pizza joint.
29:01His new co-workers didn't know his story.
29:04But the blog had a long memory, and I wasn't done writing.
