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