Short filmTranscript
00:00The day I almost died, my husband let his mistress take my kidney with her own hands.
00:05He even pulled the entire medical team out of my emergency room so his mistress could get painkillers.
00:11Broken glass was inside me. I could feel my life slipping away.
00:15I grabbed his hand and begged him to save me, or my family would kill him. He laughed.
00:21Your family? You're an orphan. Stop lying.
00:25He had no idea. In my family, I was the only one who was sane.
00:30My mom was a serial killer. My dad was a sociopath.
00:34My younger brother Alden was violently protective.
00:37I had kept them away for five years to protect he. Now I was calling them home.
00:42I was in a terrible car accident, with shards of glass embedded deep in my lower abdomen.
00:47Yet my husband Talon had all the surgeons who were supposed to operate on me called over to Doreen Pardo's
00:54room.
00:55Just because she was suffering from menstrual cramps.
00:58With all of my remaining strength, I yelled,
01:01Tal! I arranged my surgery, or my family will kill you!
01:07However, Talon pinched my face.
01:09Don't talk nonsense. You're lying. You have no family.
01:16Talon and I had been together for five years.
01:19To stop him from meeting my family, I kept telling him they were doing business abroad.
01:24Why? Because in my family, I was the only one who was sane.
01:28My mom was a serial killer.
01:31My dad was a sociopath.
01:33My younger brother, Alden Nance, was violently protective.
01:37Talon knew none of this, speaking to me in a tone as if he were bestowing charity.
01:42I didn't mind that you were an orphan. I married you anyway.
01:46How can you compete with Doreen for priority in such a trifle now?
01:51Should anything happen to her, I'll lose a ten million dollar deal!
01:56With that, he sent away all of his subordinates.
01:59Since your family is so capable, I don't think you need me. Let's go.
02:05Despair engulfed my heart as I watched him leave.
02:08With all of my remaining strength, I sent a message to our family's group chat.
02:13Unbeknownst to Talon, gone with my message was his last chance to live.
02:19During the five years we lived together, he had never believed me when I told him about my family.
02:25Every time I hesitated, or implied my family was dangerous, he thought I was being unreasonable.
02:30The monitor beeped rapidly.
02:33Weston Patel, Talon's most trusted bodyguard, remained standing still at the door.
02:39After five years working for me right now, he nonchalantly watched me bleed.
02:44Soon, there was a blood pool underneath my body.
02:47I sensed that I was too severely injured to make it to my family's arrival.
02:57Weston, will you please get me a doctor?
03:00Any doctor?
03:01Shaking his head, he replied in a hoarse voice.
03:05Mr. Sanborn orders that mid-distreatment is the priority.
03:09He says your injury isn't lethal.
03:11Not lethal.
03:12I looked down at the broken glass that had pierced my abdomen.
03:16Feeling my vitality leaving my body with the warm blood.
03:19He'd lost his heart to another woman now.
03:22What did my injury matter to him?
03:25My phone was still in my hand.
03:27On the screen was my family's group chat.
03:30Alden's last message read,
03:32Susie, we've just gotten on the plane.
03:34See you in two hours.
03:36He also sent me a photo of mom buying a peeler at an airport duty-free store.
03:40The caption said,
03:42A gift for Susie.
03:43She's always complaining about her peeler.
03:46With trembling hands, I typed,
03:48Hurry, I'm dying.
03:50Hardly had I sent the message before Weston's phone rang.
03:53Once again, he tried to persuade me.
03:57Mrs. Sanherd,
03:59why won't you listen to Mr. Sanherd
04:01and apologize to Miss Pardley?
04:04All he can think of is her now.
04:06You must face it.
04:09I shook my head indifferently
04:11and gestured for him to answer the call.
04:16I didn't know what the caller told him.
04:19Weston only had one eye.
04:20The pupil of his right I contracted.
04:22He turned abruptly to me.
04:24Mrs. Sanherd,
04:26your maiden name is Nance?
04:30The surname Nance opened the gate of my memory.
04:33After school,
04:35unlike other students who were all eager to go home,
04:37I wanted to stay in the classroom.
04:40Mom wore a faint smile every time she picked me up.
04:43However,
04:44the first thing she did when we got home
04:45was ask me to put on a mask.
04:48Susie,
04:48I'm going to dismember this man later.
04:51Go study in your room.
04:52It's going to be too bloody here.
04:54She told me years of domestic violence
04:56crushed this man's wife.
04:57As a result,
04:59the woman jumped into the sea with their child
05:01and died at midnight.
05:02Therefore,
05:03Mom decided to punish this man on behalf of his wife.
05:06I had never seen Dad kill anyone,
05:08but there were all kinds of organs in his studio.
05:11For over ten years,
05:13the adornment on the door handle
05:14remained Weston's left eye.
05:17Alden was the scariest.
05:18Oddly,
05:19every time someone weak was bullied,
05:21the bully was found to have committed suicide the next day.
05:25Susie,
05:26such a scumbag doesn't deserve to live in your world.
05:29Over time,
05:30a killing intent was sensed wherever I went.
05:33No one wanted to make friends with me.
05:37Talen was an exception.
05:39When the whole class isolated me,
05:41he helped me carry my books.
05:45You're not a freak.
05:46You have a unique charm.
05:49Once,
05:50an anatomical drawing fell out of my school bag.
05:52He calmly picked it up for me.
05:55Your brother draws comics like a professional.
05:58Back then,
05:58I had thought he was the only one
06:00who could see who I really was,
06:02despite the dark side of my family.
06:05What does your family do abroad?
06:07Clutching my clothes,
06:08I had replied evasively.
06:11Import and export.
06:12He didn't question it.
06:14It must be tiring.
06:16I'll be your rock from today on.
06:19You don't have to bear everything alone.
06:20That day,
06:22at sunset,
06:22he went down on one knee and proposed.
06:25He vowed earnestly
06:26that he'd protect me for the rest of my life.
06:28And I believed him.
06:30Despite my family's warning,
06:32I eloped with him and came to this city.
06:35Susie,
06:36men aren't trustworthy.
06:37Mom had said,
06:39It's okay if you don't want family property.
06:43But don't disgrace us.
06:44Dad had observed,
06:46Susie,
06:48if he doesn't behave,
06:50I'll make him.
06:52Alden had remarked,
06:55Those words had fallen on deaf ears, though.
06:58I had believed Talon was different.
07:00Sadly,
07:01when Doreen Pardo came along,
07:03he was attracted to her easily.
07:05Doreen was the main suspect of my car accident,
07:07but Talon refused to look into it.
07:10Looking at the horrified Weston,
07:12I nodded,
07:12Get me a doctor now
07:14if you don't want to become fully blinded.
07:17I held on to my last breath.
07:19Finally,
07:20a doctor came and brought me back from death.
07:23I lay in the trauma room,
07:25listening as the heart monitor
07:26finally settled into a steady rhythm.
07:28The doctor had just hung a bag of plasma
07:31when the door flew open.
07:33Doreen stormed in.
07:34She was wearing a hospital gown,
07:36the bandages on her hand loose and unraveling.
07:39She didn't scream,
07:40but the room went dead silent.
07:42The doctors froze.
07:45Get out.
07:47Mrs. Pardi,
07:48she just got her pulse back.
07:50We have to transfuse.
07:52I said,
07:54Get out.
07:56Doreen tilted her head,
07:58and two bodyguards immediately stepped forward.
08:00They hauled the doctors out of the room.
08:03Doreen walked to the side of the bed,
08:05stared down at my face,
08:06and smiled.
08:08Susanne,
08:10do you have any idea
08:11how long I've waited for this?
08:14My voice was a wreck.
08:18Get out.
08:20Get out?
08:21She raised her hand
08:23and slapped me across the face.
08:24The stitches on my face tore.
08:27I felt a warm trickle of blood
08:28at the corner of my mouth.
08:30Do you actually think Tal believes a word you say?
08:33He thinks you're insane!
08:36You set up the crash.
08:38I stared at her.
08:39It wasn't a question.
08:41She leaned in,
08:42her lips brushing my ear.
08:45That's right.
08:46I had the brake lines cut.
08:48The timing was perfect.
08:50My fingers twitched.
08:51I wanted to grab her by the hair,
08:53but I didn't have the strength.
08:56If he finds out,
08:59he'll kill you.
09:01Who?
09:02Talon?
09:03He's busy getting my birthday present ready.
09:06Besides,
09:07dead people can't talk.
09:10Weston stammered from the corner
09:12before finally finding his voice.
09:14Mrs. Pardit, stop!
09:16You can't kill Mrs. Sanwell!
09:18Doreen chuckled.
09:19Who gave you permission to speak?
09:21I tried to signal Weston to back off,
09:23but a sudden,
09:25blinding pain hit me.
09:26Does that hurt?
09:28Doreen pressed her finger
09:29right into the wound at my waist.
09:32It won't hurt for much longer.
09:34She slowly unbuttoned my hospital gown,
09:37her eyes cold and calculating.
09:39I ran a secret compatibility test.
09:42When you had your physical three months ago,
09:45Tal had all your records sent straight to me.
09:50Your kidney is a match.
09:52My eyes widened,
09:53so that was it.
09:55The crash.
09:56The drama.
09:57It was all for this.
09:59You're crazy!
10:00You think you can get away
10:02with stealing an organ?
10:06Stealing?
10:07Please.
10:08Tal will have the paperwork ready.
10:11It'll say you died from your injuries
10:13and volunteered
10:14to donate.
10:16As for your family,
10:19they won't even find your body.
10:21The bodyguards wheeled me
10:23into the operating room.
10:24Doreen snapped on a pair of medical gloves
10:26and stood beside the doctor,
10:28watching me with a dead stare.
10:31She wasn't a nurse,
10:33but she was right.
10:34Talon would cover it all up for her.
10:37I felt the cold bite
10:38of a scalpel slicing into my skin.
10:40Above me,
10:41I heard her humming a tune,
10:43sounding cheerful and relaxed.
10:46Weston's mouth was taped shut.
10:47He could only make muffled,
10:49panicked sounds.
10:50The straps on the operating table
10:52dug into my wrists,
10:54but the sharp agony in my abdomen
10:55drowned out everything else.
10:56My phone buzzed frantically
10:58on a nearby table.
11:00Messages from the family group chat
11:02lit up the screen,
11:03one after another.
11:05Susie,
11:05we just got into the city.
11:07Susie,
11:08hang on.
11:08I'm deciding whether to drain
11:10one liter of her blood or two,
11:12but they were too late.
11:13I felt something being ripped
11:15from my body.
11:16My vision blurred.
11:18The room began to spin.
11:19Through the haze,
11:20I saw the doctor drop
11:22the bloody organ
11:22into a cooler.
11:24Doreen patted my cheek.
11:25Thanks for the gift.
11:27She turned to leave,
11:28but the operating room door
11:30was kicked open.
11:31Talon stood in the doorway,
11:33his face pale.
11:37Talon stood in the doorway,
11:38his gaze dropping
11:39to my blood-soaked waist.
11:44Susie,
11:45who did this?
11:47Who the hell did this?
11:50I let out a shaky breath of relief
11:52and pointed a trembling finger
11:53at Doreen.
11:58Tal.
12:01Doreen's eyes instantly went red.
12:08You're finally here.
12:10I was so scared.
12:13Susan tried to trick you again.
12:15She stumbled forward
12:16and collapsed into his arms.
12:21Suzanne crashed the car
12:23on purpose.
12:27She tried to kill me.
12:30Even just now,
12:32right on the operating table,
12:34she said she wanted me mutilated.
12:38I only came in to check
12:40on her injuries,
12:41but she snapped.
12:43She went crazy
12:44and tore at my stitches.
12:46She held up her bandaged hand.
12:48Small spots of blood
12:49stained the white gauze.
12:52In reality,
12:54I had barely brushed against it
12:55during our struggle.
12:58But Talon's expression
12:59shifted instantly.
13:00His concern for me evaporated.
13:03He wrapped his arms around Doreen,
13:05his eyes filled with distress.
13:09Don't be afraid.
13:10I've got you.
13:12He looked up at me,
13:13his face twisting into that
13:14familiar look of disgust.
13:17Suzanne,
13:18you are sick.
13:22I squeezed out
13:23my last ounce of strength,
13:25my voice rasping in my throat.
13:36Talon cut me off,
13:54pressing his hand down
13:55near the edge of my wound.
13:58Suzanne,
14:00how long are you
14:01going to keep lying?
14:04Dorey has renal chitus.
14:07She needs a transplant,
14:09and you just happen
14:10to be a match.
14:14You think that's a coincidence?
14:18You investigated her.
14:19You knew she needed a donor,
14:21so you rigged
14:22the medical checkup
14:23to blackmail me.
14:24didn't you?
14:26I froze.
14:27I didn't have the words.
14:29Behind him,
14:30Doreen flashed a smile
14:31of pure victory.
14:36Tal.
14:37She whispered suddenly,
14:39tugging gently at his cuff.
14:43The doctor said,
14:46one kidney
14:47might not be enough.
14:50My rejection reaction
14:52is severe.
14:55If I have two,
14:58this success rate
15:00is way higher.
15:02The room went dead silent.
15:07Talon didn't even look at me.
15:09He turned straight
15:10to the doctor.
15:13Will she die?
15:15Ignoring the fresh,
15:16searing pain
15:16from my surgery,
15:17I shouted on instinct,
15:21Talon,
15:22do you have
15:24any humanity
15:25at all?
15:26How could anyone
15:28survive without
15:28both kidneys?
15:30Use your head!
15:35Doreen suddenly
15:36pressed her chest
15:36against Talon.
15:40Tal,
15:41she won't die.
15:42The mortality rate
15:44is only 1%.
15:48Besides,
15:50giving me
15:51the kidneys
15:52could help you
15:53secure that
15:54billion dollar contract.
15:58Talon stayed silent
15:59for a long time.
16:05Then do it.
16:11Susie,
16:12look,
16:13if the surgery
16:14succeeds,
16:15I'll take you
16:16to Iceland.
16:20We'll see
16:21the northern lights
16:21like you've
16:23always wanted.
16:25That should be enough.
16:28My blood ran cold
16:30as I watched
16:30the scalpel
16:31moving closer.
16:36I squeezed
16:37my eyes shut
16:37and screamed.
16:39Mom!
16:40The next second,
16:41the operating room
16:42door was kicked open.
16:45The frame shattered
16:46under the force,
16:47flying off
16:48its hinges.
16:51Three people
16:52stood in the doorway.
16:55My mother wore
16:56a perfectly tailored
16:57black suit.
16:59She held a knife
17:00gift set she'd
17:00bought at the airport,
17:02smiling with
17:02gentle elegance.
17:04My father was
17:04in a custom suit,
17:06toying with a scalpel.
17:11The bodyguards
17:12at his feet
17:12were already
17:13bloodied and beaten.
17:15My brother,
17:16Alden,
17:17wore a white lab coat
17:18and gold-rimmed glasses.
17:21looking refined
17:22and harmless.
17:27He pushed up
17:28his glasses,
17:29his dark gaze
17:30sweeping over me
17:30on the operating table.
17:34Finally,
17:35his eyes landed
17:36on Talon.
17:37His voice was soft,
17:38as if offering
17:39an invitation.
17:44Talon,
17:45sorry to intrude,
17:48but I have to ask,
17:50how would you
17:51like to die?
17:52The silence
17:53in the room
17:53was absolute.
17:59Doreen was the first
18:00to break under
18:00the pressure.
18:08Tal!
18:09Get these people
18:10out of here!
18:12But no one
18:13listened to her.
18:17My father even
18:18made a throat-slitting
18:19gesture in her direction.
18:29Doreen's
18:29shrill scream
18:30pierced the air.
18:31She hid behind Talon,
18:32shaking.
18:34Who are you people?
18:35Security!
18:36Where is security?
18:39Talon's face
18:39turned pale.
18:43He stared at the
18:44distinct footprint
18:44on the broken
18:45door frame.
18:48Then at the
18:49unconscious bodyguards
18:50on the floor.
18:52His throat worked,
18:54but no sound
18:54came out.
18:56Alden adjusted
18:57his glasses again
18:58and smiled politely.
19:02Security?
19:04Talon?
19:06Does she mean
19:07those dozen or so
19:08useless men
19:09downstairs?
19:10He stepped aside,
19:11revealing the
19:11hallway.
19:13Seven or eight
19:13bodyguards in
19:14black lay sprawled
19:15across the floor,
19:16motionless.
19:21Mom crouched
19:22nearby,
19:23slowly wiping
19:23blood from her
19:24hands before
19:24waving at me.
19:29Susie, honey,
19:30I just took out
19:31the trash.
19:32Didn't scare
19:33you,
19:33didn't I?
19:36Mom usually
19:37handled the
19:37logistics in
19:38our family.
19:42Suzanne.
19:43Talon finally
19:44found his voice.
19:46Who are
19:47they?
19:48The heavy weight
19:49in my chest
19:50vanished.
19:51I told you,
19:52my family,
19:54they do
19:54business overseas.
19:56He yelled.
19:58You're still
19:58lying to me?
20:00What kind
20:00of business
20:01involves killing
20:02people?
20:02What is this?
20:05Mom walked
20:06in,
20:06the sound
20:07of her heels
20:07crisp against
20:08the floor tiles.
20:09She placed
20:10the knife box
20:11on the operating
20:11table and
20:12elegantly untied
20:13the ribbon.
20:15Susie didn't
20:16tell you.
20:18Then there's
20:19no need
20:19for you to
20:20know.
20:21She pulled
20:21out a surgical
20:22blade and
20:22gestured toward
20:23Talon.
20:25Dad walked
20:25over to
20:26Doreen,
20:27gripping her
20:27chin to
20:27inspect her
20:28like a product
20:28on a shelf.
20:31Kidney pain?
20:33This cut
20:34on my
20:34daughter's
20:34waist?
20:36Did you
20:36do this?
20:38Doreen was
20:38too terrified
20:39to cry.
20:41It wasn't
20:41me!
20:42Suzanne
20:43donated
20:43voluntarily!
20:48Dad.
20:51Alden
20:52walked
20:52over,
20:53pulling
20:53a neatly
20:53folded
20:54paper
20:54from
20:54his
20:54lab
20:55coat
20:55pocket.
20:58I
20:59checked.
21:00She
21:00tampered
21:01with her
21:01own
21:01medical
21:02report
21:02three
21:02months
21:02ago.
21:07She
21:07doesn't
21:07have
21:08renal
21:08coric.
21:10She
21:10just
21:10we
21:11had
21:11a
21:11breath
21:11doss
21:11for
21:11the
21:12birthday.
21:13He
21:14paused,
21:15his
21:15eyes
21:15narrowing
21:16behind
21:16the
21:16lenses.
21:19After
21:19all,
21:20she's
21:20an
21:20addict.
21:21She
21:21overdosed.
21:23Her
21:23own
21:24kidneys
21:24are
21:24completely
21:25rotted.
21:26Talon
21:26whipped
21:27his
21:27head
21:27around
21:27to
21:27look
21:27at
21:27Doreen.
21:30You
21:30do
21:31drugs?
21:32Tal
21:33don't
21:33listen
21:33to
21:34him.
21:35Doreen
21:35shrieked.
21:38They're
21:38working
21:39together!
21:40They
21:40want to
21:40hurt
21:41me!
21:44Hurt
21:44you?
21:45Alden
21:46smiled,
21:46a gentle,
21:47warm expression
21:48that made
21:49my blood
21:49run
21:49cold.
21:51Susie,
21:52tell
21:53her.
21:53If I
21:54wanted to
21:54kill
21:54someone,
21:55what would
21:55I do?
21:56I lay
21:56on the
21:57table,
21:57my voice
21:58muffled
21:58by the
21:58oxygen
21:59mask.
22:00You
22:01wouldn't
22:01talk.
22:03You
22:04just
22:04do
22:05it.
22:05As
22:05soon
22:06as the
22:06words
22:06left
22:06my
22:06mouth,
22:07the
22:07scalpel
22:08in
22:08dad's
22:08hand
22:08came
22:09down.
22:13He
22:13didn't
22:13cut
22:14Doreen's
22:14face.
22:15He
22:15sliced
22:15precisely
22:16through
22:16the
22:16buttons
22:16of
22:16her
22:17hospital
22:17gown.
22:19The
22:20fabric
22:20fell
22:20open,
22:21revealing
22:21her
22:21waist,
22:22smooth,
22:23unblemished.
22:25Completely
22:26free of
22:26any
22:26surgical
22:27scars.
22:28Your
22:29kidney
22:29area is
22:30intact,
22:31dad said
22:31flatly.
22:33Most
22:34people with
22:34kidney
22:35pain have
22:35needle
22:36marks from
22:36treatments.
22:37This
22:38lady's
22:38skin is
22:39perfectly
22:40smooth.
22:44Doreen
22:45collapsed to
22:45the floor
22:45in a
22:46heap.
22:47Talon
22:48finally reacted,
22:49rushing forward
22:50to shield
22:50her, but
22:51Alden caught
22:52his wrist.
22:54Alden
22:55looked frail,
22:55but his
22:56grip was
22:56incredibly
22:57strong.
22:59Smiling,
22:59he peeled
23:00Talon's
23:00hand off
23:01Doreen,
23:01finger by
23:02finger.
23:04Alden's
23:05voice was
23:05as gentle
23:06as if he
23:06were comforting
23:07a child.
23:08Talon,
23:09back then,
23:11Susie cut
23:12ties with
23:12her family
23:13for you.
23:16She
23:16said,
23:18you were
23:19the only
23:20person in
23:21the world
23:21who didn't
23:21care about
23:22her background.
23:26He glanced
23:27at me lying
23:27on the
23:28table.
23:30A flicker
23:31of pain
23:31crossed his
23:31eyes before
23:32turning into
23:32something much
23:33darker.
23:36But she's
23:37dying.
23:38And what
23:39are you
23:39doing?
23:41Alden
23:42smiled.
23:45You're
23:45helping another
23:46woman harvest
23:47her organs.
23:47You're
23:48killing her.
23:51Talon
23:51stammered
23:52incoherent.
23:53No,
23:54I didn't
23:54know.
23:55Besides,
23:55it's just
23:56one kidney.
23:56How could
23:56she die?
23:57Alden
23:58moved faster
23:58than I could
23:59track.
24:02He slammed
24:02Talon onto
24:03the adjacent
24:04operating table
24:04and strapped
24:05him down.
24:09In that
24:10case,
24:10let's test
24:10if you can
24:11survive with
24:11just one
24:12kidney,
24:13shall we?
24:16We secured
24:16the hospital
24:17fast.
24:21I was
24:22rescued just
24:23in time to
24:23get my
24:23kidney put
24:24back where
24:24it belonged.
24:28Now,
24:29the tables
24:29had turned.
24:30It was
24:31Talon lying
24:31on the
24:31operating table.
24:33He was
24:34screaming his
24:34head off.
24:35You can't
24:36do this!
24:37I'm the
24:37chairman of
24:38the Sandburn
24:39group!
24:40I'm the chairman
24:43I'm the chairman
24:44family!
24:45If you
24:45dare cut
24:45me open,
24:46I will
24:47destroy the
24:47entire
24:48Nassie
24:48family!
24:50Dad
24:51chuckled,
24:52idly turning
24:52a smooth
24:53stone over
24:53in his
24:53hand.
24:57The
24:58Sandburn
24:58group?
24:59With
25:00someone like
25:00you running
25:01it,
25:01there's no
25:01need for
25:02that company
25:02to exist
25:03anymore.
25:04Talon's
25:04phone started
25:05buzzing on
25:05the side
25:06table.
25:06I picked
25:07it up and
25:07hit the
25:08speaker.
25:09Mr.
25:09Sandburn,
25:10it's
25:10bad!
25:11Your two
25:11top executives
25:12just committed
25:13suicide.
25:13One jumped
25:14into the
25:14ocean,
25:15the other
25:15off a
25:15building.
25:16They left
25:17behind every
25:18scrap of
25:18evidence regarding
25:19our tax evasion.
25:20For the first
25:21time,
25:22Talon looked
25:22genuinely
25:22terrified.
25:25You did
25:26this?
25:27How is that
25:28even possible?
25:32Dad spat
25:33on the
25:33floor.
25:35It's a shame
25:36you only had
25:37two loyal dogs
25:38after all these
25:38years.
25:40I was expecting
25:41more of a
25:42challenge.
25:43Alden couldn't
25:43wait any longer.
25:44His eyes were
25:45gleaming.
25:47Pity,
25:48he's such a
25:49handsome guy.
25:50But hey,
25:50this is my first
25:51time removing a
25:52CEO's kidney.
25:58The operating
25:59room doors
25:59slid shut.
26:00Alden didn't
26:01use anesthesia.
26:03Soon,
26:04agonizing screams
26:05rang out from
26:06inside.
26:09Mom and I
26:10stood over
26:10Doreen looking
26:11down at her.
26:12Her earlier
26:13arrogance had
26:13evaporated.
26:16The sharp
26:17smell of urine
26:18drifted up from
26:18where she sat.
26:20She'd wet
26:21herself in fear.
26:22Mom frowned in
26:23disgust and ordered
26:24someone to drag
26:25her away.
26:30Outside the
26:30operating room,
26:31the screaming
26:32gradually faded
26:33into silence.
26:35Alden pushed
26:36the door open
26:37and walked out.
26:37His white coat
26:38splattered with
26:39blood.
26:41He slowly peeled
26:42off his gloves
26:42and tossed them
26:43into the bin.
26:48Susie,
26:49I took out
26:50the left one.
26:51The quality
26:52is actually
26:52pretty good.
26:54He adjusted
26:55his glasses,
26:56smiling politely.
26:59I noticed a
27:00minor issue
27:00with his right
27:01kidney too.
27:02Should I take
27:03that one
27:03while I'm at
27:04it?
27:05My face
27:06was pale,
27:06but my gaze
27:07held steady.
27:09Keep it for
27:10now.
27:10It's useful.
27:12Mom was still
27:13wiping down
27:13her case of
27:14knives,
27:14not even
27:15bothering to
27:15look up.
27:19Whatever
27:20Susie says,
27:22he got off
27:23easy,
27:24if you ask
27:24me.
27:27I originally
27:28wanted to turn
27:29him into a
27:29specimen as a
27:30discharge gift
27:31for you.
27:33I smiled,
27:34actually touched.
27:36Mom,
27:37that would
27:37scare the
27:37medical staff.
27:41True.
27:43Out Mom
27:43sighed with
27:44regret,
27:44then turned
27:45her attention
27:45to At Doreen,
27:46who had just
27:47been dragged
27:47back in.
27:49So,
27:51how do you
27:51plan to handle
27:52this young lady?
27:54Doreen
27:54scrambled backward,
27:56but At
27:57stepped on
27:57the hem
27:58of her dress
27:58to stop her.
28:03Don't be in
28:04such a rush.
28:07Didn't you say
28:08your kidney
28:09hurt?
28:10Want me to
28:11check it for
28:11you?
28:13I have a
28:13medical license,
28:15and I
28:15specialize in
28:16vivisepti.
28:18No,
28:18please.
28:19At Doreen
28:19sobbed,
28:20gasping for air.
28:21I was wrong,
28:22I was really
28:23wrong.
28:23Talon made
28:24me do it.
28:26He said
28:27if I killed
28:27Suzanne,
28:28he'd marry me
28:29and give me
28:3030% of the
28:30Sandburn group's
28:31shares.
28:32I closed my
28:33eyes.
28:34Whatever affection
28:35I had left
28:36for him
28:36vanished right
28:37then.
28:37It wasn't
28:38just a sudden
28:38change of
28:39heart.
28:39This had been
28:40the plan
28:41for a long
28:41time.
28:43Three days
28:44later,
28:44a massive
28:45scandal hit
28:46the Sandburn
28:46group.
28:47Chairman Talon
28:48was reportedly
28:49in critical
28:49condition due
28:50to kidney
28:51failure caused
28:52by a drug
28:52overdose.
28:54His
28:54assistant,
28:55Doreen,
28:56was in
28:56police custody
28:57for fraud
28:57and attempted
28:58murder.
29:01Of course,
29:02that was
29:03just the
29:03official story.
29:05In reality,
29:06At Talon
29:07had been
29:07secretly
29:08moved to
29:09a private
29:09Nance family
29:10estate.
29:12He lay
29:12in a
29:13hospital bed,
29:14deathly
29:14pale,
29:15the wound
29:16at his
29:16waist
29:17throbbing.
29:18Alden had
29:19thoughtfully
29:20provided the
29:20best medical
29:21equipment.
29:23Though the
29:23doctors and
29:24nurses were
29:24all Nancy
29:25family
29:25operatives,
29:26I healed
29:27quickly.
29:27The Nancy
29:28family genes
29:29gave me
29:29exceptional
29:30recuperative
29:30abilities.
29:31By the
29:31fifth day,
29:32I was
29:32walking
29:33normally.
29:37When
29:37At Talon
29:38saw me,
29:39he looked
29:39hopeful for
29:40a split
29:40second before
29:41his expression
29:42fell.
29:43Susie,
29:44I'm sorry.
29:45I really
29:46didn't know.
29:47I didn't
29:47know Doreen
29:48was lying to
29:49me.
29:49I sat
29:50in the
29:50chair by
29:50his bed,
29:51watching him
29:52in silence.
29:55He
29:55struggled to
29:56reach out,
29:56trying to
29:57grab the
29:57hem of
29:57my shirt.
29:59Do you
29:59remember?
30:00Junior year,
30:01you had that
30:01high fever.
30:02I carried
30:03you on my
30:03back all the
30:03way to the
30:04hospital.
30:04You said I
30:05was the
30:05only one
30:05for you.
30:06I didn't
30:07say anything.
30:08In our
30:09first date,
30:10you were
30:11afraid of
30:11the dark,
30:13so I held
30:14your hand and
30:14walked with
30:15you all
30:15night.
30:15You said
30:17as long
30:17as I
30:17was there,
30:19you weren't
30:20afraid of
30:21anything.
30:22Tears
30:23rolled down
30:23his face.
30:25Susie,
30:25I was
30:26wrong.
30:26Doreen
30:27tricked me.
30:28I let
30:28greed cloud
30:29my judgment.
30:31But I
30:31really do
30:32love you.
30:34Those
30:34moments were
30:35real.
30:38I looked
30:38down so he
30:39couldn't see
30:39the look in
30:40my eyes.
30:43His tune
30:44had certainly
30:45changed.
30:46A calculated
30:47expression
30:48crossed my
30:48face, and
30:49I spoke
30:50softly.
30:52Tal, I
30:53forgive you.
30:54He jerked
30:55his head up,
30:55looking shocked
30:56and over
30:57hopped it.
31:03Really?
31:04Yes, but
31:06you have to
31:06help me with
31:07performance.
31:08Otherwise, my
31:09family won't
31:10accept you.
31:10When I told
31:11mom I planned
31:12to forgive
31:12Talon, she
31:13nearly drove the
31:14knife she'd
31:15been sharpening
31:15straight into
31:16my headboard.
31:20Suzanne, have
31:21you lost your
31:22mind?
31:26Did you forget
31:27he nearly killed
31:28you?
31:29Mom, I
31:30haven't forgotten,
31:31but he's still
31:32useful.
31:36Under my
31:37devoted care,
31:38At Talon
31:39started to
31:39recover.
31:40mother, I
31:42visited him
31:42every day,
31:44bringing up
31:44old memories.
31:47I cooked
31:48his meals
31:49personally,
31:50always making
31:51sure to lace
31:52them with a
31:52truth serum.
31:54Alden had
31:54developed it for
31:55his more twisted
31:56experiments.
31:59Talon was
31:59deeply moved.
32:00He swore he'd
32:01spend the rest of
32:02his life making
32:03it up to me.
32:06Susie, when I'm
32:07better, let's go
32:09to Iceland.
32:10We'll see the
32:11northern lights.
32:14He gripped my
32:15hand tightly.
32:19I don't want
32:20anything else.
32:21I just want to be
32:22with you.
32:24I smiled and
32:25nodded.
32:26Inside, I felt
32:28nothing but
32:28Confex contempt.
32:30Meanwhile, At
32:32Alden was digging
32:32into Darvey's
32:33background.
32:38Before long, a
32:39detailed report
32:40landed on my
32:41desk.
32:42It turned out
32:43the mastermind
32:44behind Dorney was
32:45someone we all
32:46knew.
32:47She'd been holding
32:48secret meetings with
32:49my uncle, Langston
32:50Nancy.
32:56the man who
32:56had always been
32:57at war with my
32:58family.
33:01Looks like some
33:02bottom feeders are
33:03trying to use you
33:03to take out the
33:04Nance family.
33:05Dad turned a
33:06small, smooth
33:07stone over in
33:08his hands, his
33:10eyes wide with
33:11excitement.
33:13Susie, how do
33:14you want to play
33:14this?
33:16I glanced at my
33:17phone.
33:17A message from
33:18Talon had just
33:19popped up.
33:20Susie, I
33:21miss you so
33:21much.
33:22Can I see you
33:23tonight?
33:23At the Ivy
33:24Club.
33:25The Ivy
33:26Club was a
33:26private lounge
33:27where we used
33:28to go on
33:28dates.
33:31Sure, I'll
33:31wait for you.
33:35Get ready to
33:36close the net.
33:37That night, I
33:39dressed with
33:39precision.
33:40I wore the
33:41white dress
33:42Talon liked
33:43Talon liked best.
33:44I applied light
33:45makeup to look
33:46gentle, harmless.
33:49Mom looked at me,
33:51her expression
33:51complex.
33:53Susie, you're
33:54acting more and
33:55more like me.
33:59Not acting.
34:00I am a Nancy,
34:02down to the bone.
34:06At the club,
34:08At Talon was
34:08already waiting.
34:13He looked
34:14better, though
34:15his face was
34:16still pale.
34:21Susie.
34:24Tal, I
34:25missed you.
34:28Me too.
34:34Susie,
34:35Doreen has
34:36been asking to
34:37see me from
34:37the police
34:38station.
34:39She says she
34:39knows she was
34:40wrong and wants
34:40to confess
34:41everything.
34:42Oh?
34:43Are you
34:44planning to
34:45go?
34:45I want to
34:46hear what she
34:47has to say.
34:48If you don't
34:49agree, I
34:51won't go.
34:52Go ahead.
34:53It might be
34:54good to hear
34:55her out.
34:55Maybe you'll
34:56uncover more
34:57of the truth.
35:00Talon didn't
35:01know that every
35:02move he made
35:03was under
35:03surveillance.
35:04The drug in
35:05his system
35:06didn't just
35:06make him
35:07pliable to
35:07the truth.
35:08It allowed
35:09us to track
35:10his physical
35:10location.
35:12The second
35:13day, he
35:14went to the
35:14police station.
35:15The third
35:16day, he
35:17received a
35:17note out
35:18Doreen had
35:19smuggled out.
35:21On the
35:22fourth day,
35:22he booked
35:23the presidential
35:24suite at a
35:25suburban
35:25five-star
35:26hotel.
35:32Alden dropped
35:33a keycard on
35:34my desk.
35:35Susie, do
35:37you really
35:37want to go
35:37in person?
35:39I can just
35:39splash them
35:40all over
35:40tomorrow's
35:41headlines.
35:42No need to
35:43trouble yourself.
35:44I wouldn't
35:45miss a show
35:46this good.
35:47Inside the
35:48hotel room,
35:49at Talon and
35:50at your,
35:51Doreen were
35:51clinging to
35:52each other.
35:55Tal, I'm
35:56scared.
35:57The Nancy
35:58family won't
35:59let us go.
35:59I've already
36:00regained
36:00Suzanne's trust.
36:02She said,
36:03as long as I
36:03behave, the
36:04Nancy family
36:05will leave me
36:06alone.
36:07Really?
36:08Then our
36:09plan can still
36:09work!
36:10We proceed
36:11as usual.
36:12Suzanne is an
36:13idiot.
36:13She actually
36:14thinks I'm
36:14afraid of her.
36:16once Langston
36:17is ready,
36:18we'll strike
36:19from the
36:19inside.
36:21The entire
36:21Nance estate
36:22will be
36:22ours.
36:25What about
36:26her family?
36:29Kill them
36:30all.
36:32Especially
36:32her sick
36:33brother.
36:35I'm going
36:36to preserve
36:36his corpse
36:38and hang
36:39it in my
36:39office.
36:40And her
36:41murderer of
36:42a mother.
36:43I want to
36:44send her to
36:45prison and
36:45let her
36:46rot.
36:48As for
36:49Suzanne,
36:51keep her
36:51alive.
36:52I want her
36:53to watch
36:53the Nancy
36:53family fall.
36:55Then I'll
36:55lock her up
36:56and keep her
36:56as a pet
36:57for the rest
36:57of her life.
36:58When the
36:59door pushed
36:59open,
37:00they were
37:01kissing
37:01passionately.
37:05I walked
37:06in,
37:07followed
37:07closely by
37:08Dad,
37:09Mom,
37:09and Alden.
37:15go on.
37:17Why stop?
37:18Susie,
37:20why are you
37:21all here?
37:23If I didn't
37:24come,
37:26how would I
37:26hear such a
37:27brilliant plan?
37:31Talon,
37:32who was it
37:33you said you
37:33wanted to turn
37:34into a specimen?
37:38Talon,
37:38I didn't realize
37:40you were so
37:40interested in my
37:41field of study.
37:45Susie,
37:45let me
37:46explain.
37:47Doreen
37:47forced me.
37:48She seduced
37:49me.
37:49She threatened
37:49me.
37:50Talon,
37:51you...
37:51Shut up!
37:53It's all
37:53your fault,
37:54you bitch!
37:55You made
37:55me betray
37:56Susie!
37:59What a
38:00performance,
38:01turning on
38:02each other
38:02so quickly.
38:05You know,
38:06I almost
38:07believed you.
38:08I almost
38:08believed those
38:09memories you
38:10brought up
38:10and those
38:11fake tears.
38:13Susie.
38:15It's a pity.
38:18You shouldn't
38:19have taken
38:19my kidney
38:20and you
38:21definitely
38:22shouldn't
38:22have tried
38:23to hurt
38:23my family.
38:25That night,
38:26the presidal
38:26suite turned
38:27into a
38:27slaughterhouse.
38:29Mom elegantly
38:30opened the
38:30gift box of
38:31knives she'd
38:32brought and
38:32selected the
38:33sharpest one.
38:35Susie,
38:36remember when
38:37I taught you
38:38anatomy?
38:38Dad smiled
38:39at Aunt
38:40Doreen.
38:40This young
38:42lady has
38:43such fine
38:43skin,
38:44it would
38:45make
38:45excellent
38:46leather.
38:48Alden
38:49strapped
38:49Talon onto
38:50a portable
38:50surgical table.
38:52Talon,
38:53I brought
38:53my newest
38:54equipment.
38:55I can
38:56harvest your
38:56organs while
38:57keeping your
38:58vitals stable.
38:59you'll be
39:00able to
39:00watch yourself
39:01be hollowed
39:01out.
39:02I walked
39:02to the
39:03floor-to-ceiling
39:03window and
39:04looked down
39:05at the
39:05city lights.
39:06Do it,
39:07but keep
39:08them breathing.
39:09I want
39:10them alive
39:10to see
39:11the ending.
39:18The
39:19screaming
39:19lasted all
39:20night.
39:22The next
39:23day,
39:24the news
39:25broke.
39:25Langston
39:26Nace,
39:27major
39:27shareholder
39:28of the
39:28Nacy Group,
39:29was arrested
39:29for organ
39:30trafficking and
39:31murder.
39:32Talon,
39:33CEO of the
39:34Sandburn Group,
39:35announced his
39:36permanent retirement
39:37due to severe
39:38kidney failure.
39:39He transferred
39:40all assets to
39:41his wife,
39:43me.
39:43As for
39:44Aunt Doreen,
39:45she lost her
39:46mind.
39:46She was committed
39:47to a psychiatric
39:48hospital.
39:49The Nather family
39:50are monsters.
39:51The Nather family
39:52are monsters.
39:54Three months
39:55later, I sat
39:56in the sunroom
39:57of the
39:57Nancy Manor,
39:58drinking
39:59afternoon tea.
40:01Susie,
40:02Talon is on
40:03his last breath.
40:04Should we
40:05keep going?
40:06Pull the
40:07plug.
40:08End it.
40:09And Doreen?
40:11Let her
40:12stay in the
40:12asylum.
40:13The doctors
40:14there are all
40:14mom's former
40:15students.
40:16Susie, a
40:17new shipment
40:18just came in.
40:19Do you want
40:19to take a
40:19look?
40:20You guys
40:21handle that
40:21business.
40:24What are
40:25your plans
40:25now?
40:28I looked
40:29at the
40:29sunlight
40:30outside,
40:31remembering
40:31Talon's
40:32mention of
40:33the Aurora.
40:34I want
40:35to go to
40:35Iceland.
40:37But not
40:37with Talon.
40:38He's gone.
40:40With whom?
40:42With the
40:42people who
40:43actually love
40:44me.
40:45With you.
40:48I'm
40:49sorry for
40:49the past.
40:50For
40:51losing sight
40:52of the
40:52people who
40:52mattered
40:53because of
40:53people who
40:54didn't.
40:57We'd
40:57better hurry.
40:58Business is
40:59booming over
40:59there.
41:00We need a
41:00manager on
41:01the ground.
41:02All right.
41:03Then let's
41:04take the
41:04Nancy family
41:05business to
41:05Iceland.
41:06Outside
41:07the door,
41:08bodyguards
41:08stood in
41:09respectful
41:09rows.
41:14Inside,
41:15the room
41:16was filled
41:17with the
41:17laughter of
41:18a family
41:18reunited.
41:20I lay
41:21back in
41:22the rocking
41:22chair.
41:23Mom covered
41:24me with a
41:24blanket,
41:25my brother
41:26handed me
41:26coffee,
41:27and Dad
41:27read the
41:28paper nearby.
41:33This was
41:34the happiness
41:34I wanted.
41:35Not the
41:36vanity of
41:36being a
41:37socialite,
41:38nor the
41:38status of
41:39a CEO's
41:39wife.
41:40It was
41:40knowing
41:41matter who
41:41I was
41:42or what
41:42I did,
41:43my family
41:44stood by
41:44me.
41:45Even if
41:46the whole
41:46world betrayed
41:47me,
41:47they wouldn't.
41:49Because like
41:50me,
41:51they were
41:51Nance.
41:53We fought,
41:54we killed,
41:56but we
41:57depended on
41:58each other
41:58for life.
42:00And the
42:00man who
42:01once said
42:01he'd
42:02protect me
42:02forever
42:03was now
42:04nothing more
42:04than dust,
42:06a joke
42:07to this
42:07city.
42:09I closed
42:10my eyes,
42:11a smile
42:12on my
42:12lips.
42:14Talon,
42:14you lost.
42:16You lost
42:17because you
42:17didn't
42:17understand this
42:18family,
42:19because you
42:20betrayed me
42:21and because
42:22of your
42:22own greed.
42:23And I,
42:24at Suzanne,
42:26the only
42:26sane person
42:27in the
42:27Nancy family,
42:28had finally
42:29returned to
42:30where I
42:30belonged.
42:32In that
42:33house full of
42:33blood and
42:34sin, I could
42:35be my true
42:36self.
42:37the sun
42:38felt good.
42:39The future
42:40would be good,
42:41too, because
42:42the Nancy
42:42family would
42:43always thrive.
42:44life.
