Short filmTranscript
00:00Everyone knew how much Adrian Pierce loved me.
00:03But three months ago, he started sleeping with my cousin, Tiffany Green.
00:08Mrs. Pierce, are you really sure?
00:11Yes.
00:13Once you sign this, you and Mr. Pierce will never see each other again.
00:17I didn't hesitate. I signed in one clean stroke.
00:23Behind me, voices whispered.
00:25He bought her an oceanfront villa.
00:27He once almost put her face on Times Square when her phone location didn't update.
00:32Now she's leaving without a word?
00:33The moment I opened the door, a cloying scent hit my face.
00:38Cammie, why are you dressed so light? I was still getting your surprise ready.
00:42Cousin, your husband is throwing a big celebration for your first meeting anniversary.
00:47Look at all these gifts. The smell, the stains, everything snapped together.
00:51I prepared a surprise for you.
00:53Happy anniversary, Cammie. I've got a candlelit dinner.
00:56I'm not hungry.
00:57I don't feel well.
00:59Come on. Let me take you to the bedroom. You should lie down for a bit.
01:06Then he warmed milk with honey and coaxed me to drink.
01:10I'll sit right here and watch over you.
01:12Late that night, I woke thirsty.
01:15I opened the bedroom door and went rigid.
01:21Moonlight spilled over two naked bodies tangled together.
01:25I crouched down in pain.
01:27I crouched down in pain.
01:28After a while, I heard voices coming from inside, so I forced myself to get up and look again.
01:32That necklace was insanely expensive.
01:34Your wife doesn't have to do a thing and you throw all the good stuff at her.
01:38You really don't know your place.
01:39You really don't know your place. I only love Camille. If she ever finds out, you know what'll happen.
01:43I know you love her. But I love you too.
01:48Stop sulking. I bought one for you too. But only wear it in private.
01:52Thanks, brother-in-law. Are you really that scared she'll leave you?
01:56Yes. I can't lose her. If she ever leaves, I'll go insane.
02:03My red-rimmed eyes drifted to the wedding photo.
02:07Adrian Pierce. In 15 days, I'll be waiting to watch you lose your mind.
02:16Early morning, I woke to yelling in the street.
02:19You bastard!
02:21Cammie, don't listen to trash like that.
02:23Do all men end up cheating?
02:24I can't speak for anyone else, but I won't.
02:28Cammie, I'm only ever gonna love you.
02:30And what if you do betray me?
02:31If I ever cheat on you, may lightning strike me dead.
02:35May I never die a decent death.
02:37You're really not afraid that curse might come true?
02:40No one knows better than I do how much I love you.
02:43If you don't believe me, I'll cut my heart out and put it in your hands.
02:47Let's go.
02:47Go change, and we'll head downstairs to get some food.
02:52Hey, cousin!
02:53Adrian!
02:54What are you two doing?
02:55Where are you going dressed like that?
02:57There's a party tonight.
02:59I'm not coming home.
03:00I'm taking your cousin back to the family estate to visit my grandmother.
03:07You need to give us a child.
03:09The Pierce name can't end with you two.
03:12Cammie's terrified of pain.
03:13I'd rather never have children.
03:15Half a month from now, you'll have a grandson.
03:17Every eye swung toward me.
03:19Cammie, we agreed.
03:21I only let my mouth curl.
03:24Sir, Tiffany was at a party dancing with another guy.
03:29Sorry, Cammie.
03:30Something came up.
03:31How long have you been married?
03:33Your belly hasn't made a peep.
03:34You're not embarrassed?
03:35I am.
03:35You're a small-town girl.
03:37Your parents are gone.
03:38Sitting at this table with people named Pierce is a blessing you earned in your last life.
03:42For five hours, they went at me.
03:45By evening, Adrian came back.
03:48Let's go home.
03:49Did you finish what you had to do?
03:51Yeah.
03:53All taken care of.
03:54My gaze caught on something under the passenger seat.
03:57A pair of torn polka dot stockings.
04:05I'll go park the car.
04:06I stepped inside.
04:08Tiffany is lying on the sofa.
04:09Didn't you say you weren't coming home?
04:11I only went to that party because I had a fight with my boyfriend.
04:13He showed up and dragged me out.
04:15He went at me three times in the car.
04:16Since when do you have a boyfriend?
04:17Since three months ago.
04:19Tiffany had moved in three months ago.
04:21Adrian walked in and steered me toward the bathroom.
04:23I'll run you a bath.
04:27The water's just right.
04:30I forgot my clean clothes, cracked the door open, and my vision went white.
04:35Slow down.
04:37My cousin's still in the shower.
04:39Weren't you satisfied in the car?
04:40Shut up.
04:41Try going to see another guy again.
04:42Every inch of me belongs to you.
04:45Happy now, Mr. Jealous?
04:46I grabbed my clothes and shut the door.
04:50When I came out, Adrian was alone.
04:54I checked your calendar.
04:55You should be getting your period.
04:57I made you ginger tea.
04:59The steam burned my fingertips.
05:01No warmth reached my heart.
05:04That night, Adrian called out in his sleep.
05:07Kami.
05:09I dreamed you left me.
05:11Thank God you're still here.
05:12I wouldn't be here much longer.
05:16There are always women throwing themselves at me.
05:19Your husband actually knows how to keep his hands to himself.
05:22Boss, it's time for the meeting.
05:23Wait for me, babe.
05:25After Adrian departed, I wandered the building.
05:28When passing by the lounge area, I ran into Susanna.
05:33Camille!
05:33Susanna, it's been a while.
05:35I heard you're applying to emigrate.
05:37Is that true?
05:38Does Mr. Pierce know?
05:39What?
05:40Emigrate?
05:43Camille, who's emigrating?
05:45Susanna is.
05:46She wanted to take me out for a meal before she leaves.
05:50I thought it was you.
05:52You scared the hell out of me.
05:54If I did something wrong, you can hit me.
05:56You can kill me.
05:58Just don't emigrate.
05:59If you leave the country, I'll never find you again.
06:01That would hurt worse than death.
06:03Got it.
06:08Sis-in-law, relax.
06:09We cleared the whole place.
06:10Since when did you guys get so good at kissing up?
06:13Everybody knows Mrs. Pierce's is your one soft spot.
06:16Laughter filled the room.
06:19Then Tiffany walked in.
06:20Cousin, Adrian.
06:22You don't mind if I join, right?
06:24Under the table, she pulled Adrian's hand into her lap,
06:28sliding it up under her underwear.
06:32I'm going to the restroom.
06:34Halfway through the meal, I excused myself to the restroom.
06:37Tiffany appeared beside me, mocking.
06:39Cousin, you should dress up more.
06:41If I tell Adrian I'm wearing this tonight,
06:43do you think he'll sneak off and climb on me before dessert?
06:45I walked out.
06:47A few minutes later,
06:48Tiffany slipped a folded note into Adrian's hand.
06:52Kami, something came up.
06:53I'll be right back.
06:55I'll go fix my makeup as well.
06:58Hours passed.
06:59Adrian didn't return.
07:01Sis, um, how about I take you home first?
07:03Thanks.
07:06I forgot my bag.
07:07Hold on a sec.
07:09Finally got Mrs. Pierce out of here.
07:11No idea how he manages to act that well in front of her.
07:14Adrian and Tiffany still not done yet?
07:16How long's it been?
07:16Five hours?
07:18Quit rushing him.
07:19Those two aren't coming down until they've burned through each other.
07:22Good thing I cranked up the music and Spares would have hurt everything.
07:28Took forever for Adrian to finally find another woman so he doesn't orbit his wife 24 men in.
07:32We gotta help him out.
07:33Mrs. Pierce is hot, but she's way too conservative.
07:36Who doesn't want a wild, dirty little thing?
07:41I stumbled out into the rain.
07:44I walked home like a ghost.
07:46The fever hit that night.
07:48By the time Adrian came home the next day, I was burning up.
07:52He scooped me up and bolted for the hospital.
07:55Kami.
07:56Kami.
08:01For three days, he hovered by my bed.
08:04On the third day, an assistant whispered in his ear.
08:07Sir.
08:08Over there.
08:09Adrian loosened his grip on my hand.
08:11Kami, I...
08:13Go.
08:15He left.
08:17Three days later, Tiffany came to my hospital room and smiled at me.
08:22Cousin, I came to share good news.
08:25I'm pregnant.
08:26And guess who the father is?
08:28Your husband.
08:30He's been with me these past few days, carrying me everywhere, feeding me himself.
08:33He pushed me down and went for it over and over.
08:35No protection needed.
08:36He'd the whole night trying out one position after other.
08:38Oops.
08:39You're not mad, are you, cousin?
08:40Whatever.
08:41I felt nothing.
08:43I waited until Tiffany sauntered out.
08:45Then I reached under my pillow and pulled out the small voice recorder.
08:50Adrian Pierce, I can't wait to see your face when you hear this.
09:22I was discharged on my birthday.
09:24He told his assistant to go to the vault.
09:26Take it.
09:26Use it however you want.
09:29My second wish?
09:31I want the key to the family safe and full control over everything inside.
09:36The hall erupted.
09:37He pulled me into his arms, laughing.
09:39Kami, now I'm completely broke.
09:41You can't toss me aside now.
09:43Someone fainted!
09:45Tiffany Green on the floor.
09:47I'll take her to the hospital.
09:48Tell me your last wish when I get back, okay?
09:50I don't have one.
09:51What?
09:52Nothing.
09:52Go.
09:53He bent down, scooped Tiffany into his arms, and rushed out.
09:57That night, Adrian called from the hospital.
10:02Kami, Tiffany's not doing well.
10:04I'll look after her for you.
10:06Stay with her.
10:08Three days before I left, a package arrived from Tiffany.
10:14A film camera.
10:16I switched it on.
10:18Adrian came up behind her.
10:20Happy birthday.
10:22What do you want this year?
10:24I want what Camille gets.
10:26No matter what I wish for, you have to say yes.
10:29Okay.
10:30I'll give you everything.
10:32He kissed her hard.
10:34I set the camera down.
10:38I went to City Hall, used Adrian's medal to file for a court-ordered divorce.
10:43From this moment on, Adrian, Pierce, and I were complete strangers.
10:47Two days left.
10:48Another camera.
10:49Another video.
10:51I heard him call me Daddy.
10:53If you want to hear it that badly, I can give you something to listen to.
10:59Dad.
11:02I heard him call me Daddy.
11:04This is how Daddy holds his good girl.
11:06I closed the screen.
11:08I opened the family safe with the key, gold bars, stacks of cash.
11:15I cleared it out.
11:17Every bar, every bill.
11:19I closed my suitcase, shut the safe, and dragged the case away.
11:27On the day I left, I woke before dawn.
11:31I packed up all my jewelry and designer bags, including that one distinctive diamond ring,
11:36and knocked on neighbors' doors.
11:41Something really good happened to me.
11:43Just take what you like.
11:45I watched my neighbors carry away the gifts he had given me.
11:49Everything is going according to plan.
11:52Second, I took all of Tiffany's videos and recordings.
11:55Organize all the materials.
11:57I paid an editor to cut a three-minute highlight reel.
12:01Title, Real Life Scumbag, A True Story.
12:04I bought pre-show ad slots at every major theater in New York.
12:08For the next few days, anyone who went to the movies sat through high-definition footage
12:12of Tiffany and Adrian.
12:14Faces crystal clear.
12:17I rented billboard trucks with oversized speakers.
12:21They circled the Green family's luxury community and Green Corporation's headquarters
12:26all day long.
12:27Tiffany's breathy moans and Adrian's low promises poured out of the speakers.
12:33Third, I packed.
12:38I placed the divorce certificate on the dining table.
12:42The phone rang.
12:44Cammie, I'm almost done here.
12:46I'll rush back to you.
12:48Perfect.
12:49I've got a surprise waiting for you.
12:51Yeah?
12:52What did you get me?
12:53You'll see as soon as you walk through the door.
12:55If the timing's right, you might catch part of it on your way home,
12:59in a theater, or out on the street.
13:03I picked up my suitcase
13:05and walked out without a backward glance.
13:10The sky was clear.
13:12I climbed into the car that would take me to the airport.
13:16I gazed out the window at the receding mansion.
13:19Behind me, Adrian's lies, Tiffany's provocations.
13:23All of it started to fade.
13:26You're pregnant and you're still running around.
13:28What if something happens to the baby?
13:29At the hospital, Adrian stood beside Tiffany's bed, voice edged with blame.
13:36When I didn't see you just now, I thought you didn't want me anymore.
13:41Adrian pried her off, pinched her chin.
13:44As long as you don't run your mouth in front of her, what we have can keep going.
13:49Especially now that you're carrying my child.
13:53He turned toward the door.
13:55Tiffany grabbed his wrist.
13:56Do you really have to go right now?
13:58The baby needs his daddy.
14:01Her fingers slid down his chest toward his waistband.
14:04Adrian's Adam's apple bob.
14:05He hooked a hand behind her head and crushed his mouth down on hers.
14:10By the time he stepped out of the hospital, it was the middle of the night.
14:15He drove home, guilt-heavy.
14:23He pushed open the door.
14:27Cammie?
14:31All the doors inside stood open, empty.
14:34He walked into the living room.
14:36A sheet of white paper on the table.
14:39He picked it up.
14:41The red seal of the court stared back at him.
14:44A knock sounded.
14:50Adrian, Camille brought us a whole bunch of things.
14:53Said it was to celebrate good news, but they're too expensive.
14:56We're bringing them back.
14:58Do you know where she went?
14:59We don't know.
15:00She just looked really happy when she left.
15:04Adrian sank into utter despair.
15:09The second he finished listening to his neighbor.
15:14Adrian thanked them, closed the door.
15:16Under the pile of boxes, he found another sheet of paper.
15:20Several spots stabbed straight through by the pen.
15:23Only a few lines.
15:24The locations where he had slept with Tiffany.
15:26The times.
15:27The number of times.
15:28He crumpled the paper into a tight ball, picked up his car keys, and left.
15:37And drove to the hospital.
15:43He dragged himself to the hospital.
15:48He strode into Tiffany's room and slammed the door.
15:51She blinked awake, delighted.
15:54Adrian, what are you doing here?
16:00His hand closed on her throat.
16:03I told you I only love Camille.
16:05The moment she finds out, it ends.
16:10Where did you get the nerve to provoke her?
16:13No, I didn't.
16:14I swear.
16:16Then how does she know all of this?
16:20Tiffany's hands shook as she read.
16:26I only wanted to scare her a little.
16:29I never thought she'd actually leave.
16:31You love me.
16:33I don't love you.
16:35If you hadn't climbed into my bed while I was drunk, this never would have happened.
16:42Tiffany stared up at him, stunned.
16:45You don't get to not love me.
16:46I threw in everything for you.
16:49My youth, my first time, even my life to carry your child.
16:53Tomorrow morning, you're getting the procedure done.
16:56Without Camille, that child has no purpose.
17:01He turned and headed for the door.
17:03Tiffany's eyes went dead, then panic tore through her.
17:06No, Adrian, you can't do that.
17:09That's your baby, too.
17:12Her legs gave out.
17:13Bright red spread across the white tiles.
17:16Adrian, don't go.
17:18Please save our baby.
17:19Adrian didn't move.
17:21He watched her writhe until the pain knocked her out.
17:26He called for the night shift nurse.
17:29Get her to the operating room.
17:31As long as she doesn't die, that's enough.
17:41Adrian went back to his office.
17:44He picked up the framed photo of him and me, then grabbed his phone.
17:50Do you know where Camilla went?
17:51No.
17:55He dropped into his chair and sat all night, staring at nothing.
18:00Across the city, Tiffany spent a full day and night in the operating room.
18:04Mom.
18:06Help me to the other woman.
18:07He's your sister's husband.
18:09How am I supposed to face her parents after I die?
18:12A heavy thud hit the door.
18:13Mr. Green's voice shook the corridor.
18:15Adrian Pierce, is this how you treat my niece?
18:20When you begged us to let Camille marry you, you said you would never betray her.
18:25Look at the crap you pulled.
18:27From now on, we're going to act like you don't exist.
18:30Camille will act like she never married you.
18:33Adrian lurched to his feet in panic.
18:36Then his vision went black.
18:38His body dropped to the floor.
18:41Seven months later, I was living well in London on the money I'd taken.
18:46I had bought a Victorian townhouse.
18:49My hardest work each day was watering plants and flipping through newspapers.
18:53An email from New York arrived.
18:55I got up to check.
19:01After Adrian realized I was gone, he turned on Tiffany completely.
19:06She miscarried.
19:09The story spread everywhere.
19:12The hospital fired Adrian.
19:14He spent his days drinking with my photo, calling my name.
19:19Camille.
19:19Tiffany tried to get money from the pierces.
19:22They refused.
19:23Adrian borrowed from friends to pay her off.
19:26Tiffany drugged him again.
19:30This time, he called security and had her arrested.
19:33She went to jail.
19:34I felt nothing.
19:37I crumpled the email and tossed it.
19:40They got exactly what they deserved.
19:43Every last bit of it.
19:49Then came another email.
19:51From the old pastor.
19:53Auntie's health had gone downhill since finding out what Tiffany did.
19:56Could I come back?
19:57I booked the earliest flight.
20:04When I appeared at the farmhouse, Mr. and Mrs. Green were shocked and happy.
20:09I took them to a New York hospital.
20:12Auntie needed observation.
20:14I hired a caregiver and rented an apartment.
20:17That evening, I stepped into the main corridor.
20:20A nurse's shout cut through.
20:22Make way!
20:23Critical patient going into surgery!
20:25The man on the stretcher was Adrian Pierce.
20:28I dug my nails into my palm and walked toward the exit.
20:32Voices whispered.
20:34After his wife left, he started drinking all day.
20:36I crossed the street to a restaurant.
20:40While waiting for takeout, two men behind me chatted.
20:44Tiffany Green got out of prison.
20:50She's pregnant again.
20:51The Pierce brought her into the family estate to carry the baby to term.
20:54I stared straight ahead.
20:57I picked up the food and headed back.
21:05Later that night, a nurse changing Adrian's dressing said,
21:09Mr. Pierce, you really shouldn't be alone.
21:10There's a patient downstairs whose niece flew back from overseas.
21:14A woman that thoughtful.
21:16I wonder if she's married.
21:18I think her last name is Hart.
21:20Do you know the niece's last name?
21:23Hart, I think.
21:24The next second, Adrian threw the covers back, shoved his feet into his shoes, and ran.
21:30He started checking rooms one by one.
21:35Halfway down the corridor, a slim, familiar back appeared.
21:40Cammie!
21:42I heard that voice.
21:44My hand paused on the doorknob.
21:46I turned, saw him striding toward me, and ran for the stairs.
21:55I rushed out of the hospital and flagged a cab.
22:00Go!
22:01Hurry!
22:02Cammie!
22:04Cammie!
22:05I'm begging you, don't go!
22:06Adrian caught up, pounding on the window.
22:09I told the driver to step on it.
22:11The cab pulled away.
22:14A sharp shout cracked across the parking lot.
22:17Adrian Pierce!
22:18Mr. Green drove his fist into Adrian's face.
22:22How do you still have the nerve to come after Camille?
22:25He hit him again.
22:26Adrian crashed to the ground.
22:30Mr. Green turned his back and walked away.
22:37From that day on, I avoided him completely.
22:40Adrian waited outside my aunt's ward for days.
22:43He didn't even catch a glimpse of him.
22:46Until one night.
22:47Cammie!
22:48I looked at him.
22:50Then I walked right past him, and shut the old ward door in his face.
22:54Cammie, please let me explain.
22:56That night, she crawled into my bed while I was drunk.
22:58I wanted to get rid of her, but my parents called about a baby.
23:01I couldn't stand the thought of you going through a pregnancy, so I thought,
23:04she looks like you.
23:06The baby would look like you too.
23:09Adrian, I already said everything that day.
23:11You kept saying you loved me, that you only slept with Tiffany because you didn't want
23:15me to go through pregnancy.
23:16But every time after that, who started it?
23:18Every time you touched, I saw it.
23:20I heard it.
23:22Dirty is dirty.
23:23What we had ended the day you cheated.
23:26I moved to step around him.
23:29I'm not dirty.
23:30If you think I am, I'll scrub myself clean right now.
23:33Just don't say it's over.
23:35I yanked my arm free.
23:37You can't even answer the most basic question.
23:40Adrian, if I could choose, I'd rather have never met you.
23:43Let's not see each other again.
23:45His knees gave out.
23:46He slid down the wall and sat on the floor, staring at my back.
23:52Once my aunt was discharged, I settled them into the apartment.
23:56Cammie, we heard you were back.
23:58After you left, we brought back the gifts.
24:00Adrian bought us new ones.
24:02He said to thank us for taking care of you.
24:04He knows he messed up.
24:05Could you give him a chance?
24:06I just smiled, didn't say anything, and went back to my room for a nap.
24:11Amy, will you marry me?
24:15I'll never betray you.
24:16I jolted awake from the dream.
24:25One day, while I was reading a book, the mailman delivered a wedding invitation.
24:33The next morning, I went to the mall to pick out a gift.
24:36On the second floor, I happened to see Tiffany.
24:39Nearby whispers.
24:40The Pierce's spoon feed her, but she throws everything back up.
24:43And Adrian makes a sport out of tormenting her.
24:46On the wedding day, the ceremony was beautiful.
24:49I do.
24:50I do.
24:51I watched the bride and groom exchange vows.
24:54A large hand appeared in front of me, offering a folded handkerchief.
24:57Saw the face of the handkerchief's owner.
25:00The smile on my lips vanished.
25:03Cammie.
25:04It started to rain.
25:06The question you asked me last time, I can answer it now.
25:10I only wanted to spare you the pain of childbirth.
25:12That's why I had Tiffany carry the baby.
25:15Adrian Pierce, are you out of your mind?
25:18How did you become this person?
25:19Why don't you ever stop and ask if you're the one who's wrong?
25:21Yeah, I'm crazy.
25:23Ever since you left, I've had nightmares every night.
25:25If there's even the tiniest chance I can get you back, I'll try anything.
25:32Before he could do something, Tiffany went into premature labor.
25:38No blessing on that one.
25:40Take the money and get as far away as you can.
25:43Tiffany sat alone on the bed.
25:45Her scream ripped out.
25:47Adrian stepped in.
25:48Adrian Pierce, are you happy now?
25:50I have nothing left because of you.
25:53Happy, I think this is still too easy.
25:57You should be grateful that kid didn't make it.
25:59Because if it had, you would have gone down with it.
26:02From now on, get as far away as you can.
26:06If I see you again, next time you won't get off this easy.
26:12He slammed the door.
26:15I walked Mr. and Mrs. Green to the train and watched them board.
26:19Then I went to cancel the lease on the apartment.
26:24This is...
26:25Someone already bought this place and put it in your name.
26:27See?
26:28That's the one who bought it for you.
26:30Cammie.
26:31I dragged him into the hall.
26:33Adrian, what the hell are you doing?
26:34I don't need your compensation.
26:36Cammie, I've already taken care of the biggest problem.
26:39Tiffany's baby is gone.
26:41She won't bother us again.
26:43So can you give me another chance?
26:46I did think about giving you one.
26:48If that night you'd come back to our bedroom,
26:50or if you'd told me the truth the next day,
26:52maybe there would have been a maybe.
26:53But what did you actually do?
26:55You held her in your arms.
26:57You pushed her against every corner of our home.
26:59You touched her within my earshot.
27:01That day on the rooftop,
27:02I realized all your buddies knew about your affair.
27:05Everyone was willing to lie for you.
27:07So to punish you, I asked for your safe key at the birthday party.
27:10I emptied it.
27:11You buying this apartment doesn't change anything.
27:14Cammie, I'm sorry.
27:18I pried his arms off and walked away.
27:27The next day, I started packing.
27:29Before I left, I tucked a thick envelope of cash under my aunt and uncle's pillows.
27:34Then I met old friends for a farewell dinner.
27:36I'll go refill my water.
27:40A few minutes later, raised voices exploded in the corridor.
27:44One of the men snatched up an empty wine bottle and swung it at my head.
27:48I watched with a cold gaze.
27:50You didn't have to take that for me.
27:51I would have dodged.
27:52His hands slid off my shoulders.
27:55The restaurant manager rushed over.
27:57Sir, you're bleeding a lot.
27:59Let's get you treated first.
28:00Adrian sat down, blood still sliding down his temple.
28:04After he was bandaged, he tried to reach for my hand.
28:07Go home and pack.
28:08We've got this.
28:11I glanced at them and then left.
28:14Adrian lunged forward and grabbed my wrist.
28:17What are you packing for?
28:18Where are you going?
28:20Tell me where you're going.
28:21Where I go has nothing to do with you.
28:23I used his stunned paws to wrench myself loose and walk toward the exit.
28:28He took a step after me.
28:29A huge force slammed into him from the side.
28:32I spun around.
28:34Adrian lay crumpled on the ground.
28:38After the car accident, Adrian sat on the hospital bed, calling my name day after day.
28:47Kami, go see him.
28:49He's not going to make it.
28:50No.
28:51People came knocking on my door, asking me to visit him.
28:54Every time, I refused.
28:56Then Mrs. Pierce came.
28:57I poured tea.
28:59Mrs. Pierce wanted me to go see Adrian.
29:02Kami, please go see him.
29:05I've already paid everything I owed as his wife.
29:08Not hating him anymore is the biggest compromise I can make.
29:12You were husband and wife for five years.
29:15He loves you so much.
29:18So what if he loved me?
29:20He still cheated.
29:21Not only did he hide it, his friends helped him.
29:24Maybe even you were helping him.
29:27When Tiffany fainted at my birthday party, there's no way you didn't know.
29:30My voice was soft.
29:32Please go back and tell him something.
29:34He's not only torturing himself, he's torturing me.
29:38If he wants to push until I break, he's doing a great job.
29:43At the hospital, when Adrian saw his mother had come back alone, the last flicker of light
29:48in his eyes went out.
29:49He picked up our wedding photo.
29:51Regret rolled through him until his tears fell onto my smiling face.
29:56He set the photo down.
29:58His eyes landed on the fruit knife by the bed.
30:00He remembered my question.
30:03What if it's my heart that's tired of you?
30:05Now, he finally had an answer.
30:08A scream tore through the quiet night.
30:10Mrs. Pierce rushed into the hospital room.
30:12When the news reached me, I stared at nothing for a long, long time.
30:17A single tear slid from the corner of my eye.
30:20I wiped it away.
30:22I picked up my suitcase and walked out the door.
30:25On the plane, as it taxied down the runway, I turned my head and looked out through the
30:29small oval window one last time.
30:32This place, I decided, was somewhere I would never come back to again.
