00:12To be continued...
00:30We'll make it out. I promise.
00:32In my past life, I screamed for help while trapped in the flames.
00:39Caleb! I'm inside! Please, come back!
00:42My husband came to save his mother and me.
00:45His true love wanted to prove that she was more important than me, so she ran back into the fire.
00:50Caleb, you love me! Don't let me die alone!
00:56She later died due to severe burns.
00:58After her death, my husband said she deserved it for being an arsonist.
01:04Brianna's gun is gone. I don't want to talk about her anymore.
01:07Right now, you're the only one I care about.
01:10You and our baby.
01:11He treated me with the utmost love and care.
01:14But after my child's birth, he sacrificed her at his true love's grave.
01:18The love of my life is dead because of you and your mother.
01:26Caleb! No!
01:29You can repent for your sins in hell!
01:35I die with him in a moment of despair.
01:39Jeanette! Mom!
01:41When I open my eyes again,
01:43I find myself back in the sea of flames.
01:49Hang on, Jeanette! I swear I'll get you out of here!
01:52That familiar voice snapped me back to reality and made me break out in a cold sweat.
01:58I opened my eyes just in time to see the burnt wooden door,
02:01warped from the flames, crash down, missing my face by inches.
02:05Phyllis, don't move!
02:09I'll come to you.
02:12Terrified, I pulled my mother-in-law, Phyllis Mason, back into the bedroom.
02:17Don't open the windows, Phyllis! That'll just make the fire worse!
02:20I quickly scanned the room, grabbed a pillowcase,
02:23soaked it with bottled water,
02:25and handed it to her so she could cover her mouth and noses.
02:28Save your strength. Just breathe.
02:30I could hear the sirens getting louder outside.
02:33Phyllis's face lit up with relief.
02:34Don't be afraid. Caleb's here with the rescue team.
02:38We'll be fine.
02:39I looked at her hopeful face, then lowered my gaze, my heart heavy.
02:42I had no clue how to tell her that one day,
02:44Caleb Halt would end up killing her granddaughter for the woman he truly loved.
02:47Let's find somewhere safer and wait for help.
02:50The fire raged on, and the heat inside was unbearable.
02:54I managed to get Phyllis to a safer spot,
02:56when I heard Caleb's voice from the other side of the door.
03:00Bri, are you in there? Don't worry! I'm here to get you out!
03:03The door crashed open with a loud bang.
03:06The fiery red flames blocked my view,
03:08but I could hear Brianna Jones crying.
03:11I'm on the balcony, Kay! Help me! I'm so scared!
03:14Everyone, follow me! Stop wasting time searching!
03:17Follow me straight to the balcony to rescue her!
03:18As soon as Phyllis heard that,
03:20she clutched her chest and started gasping.
03:23Caleb, how could he?
03:25Jeanette and I are still inside.
03:28Caleb! Caleb, back!
03:35I can't hold on anymore! I'm going to fall!
03:38Freeze!
03:39Phyllis' eyes rolled back, and she collapsed from anger and fear.
03:43Through the thick flames, I saw Kaylee holding Brianna in his arms,
03:47carrying her out.
03:51Kay, I knew you would come for me.
03:54You're safe now. Hold on.
03:57The whole place was burning,
03:58and the tears in my eyes vanished as soon as they hit the air.
04:01I quickly covered my mouth and nose,
04:03struggling to hoist Phyllis onto my back.
04:08Stay with me, Phyllis.
04:09We have to get out.
04:11It took everything I had,
04:12and my stomach twisted with pain as I tried to keep myself from collapsing.
04:16Caleb's child was inside me,
04:18and his mother was on my back.
04:20I stood there,
04:22surrounded by flames,
04:24hearing their voices echo in the distance.
04:27Is anyone else in the house, Brianna?
04:30No, Kay.
04:31Jeanette said she was pregnant and too fragile to deal with anything.
04:34We had a small argument.
04:36Then she locked me in and set the place on fire before running off.
04:40That evil woman.
04:42The second I get my hands on her,
04:44she's going to pay.
04:45My legs gave up,
04:47and I nearly collapsed.
04:48Just then,
04:49another voice spoke up.
04:51I heard something from the bedroom, Caleb.
04:54Someone might be in there.
04:55What if Jeanette,
04:56Bri already said that Jeanette started the fire.
05:00She wouldn't stick around.
05:02Now let's go.
05:04Bri's always struggled with her health.
05:06We need to get her to the hospital now.
05:07The pain in my stomach hit so hard
05:09that it felt like I almost bit my tongue off.
05:12I fought to push through the burning heat.
05:15Just then,
05:16Phyllis and stirred on my back,
05:17coughing from the smoke.
05:19She clung to me and shouted at the top of her lungs.
05:21Caleb!
05:22Your wife and kid are stuck in here!
05:24Who the hell do you think you're sending to the hospital?
05:28I paused,
05:30straining to hear anything from outside,
05:32but all I heard was silence.
05:34Caleb was long gone.
05:36He...
05:36He left?
05:38I didn't know how to answer her.
05:39The wardrobe crashed down,
05:41blocking our only way out.
05:43My hands were shaking as I poured the last of the water onto the towel
05:46and handed it to Phyllis.
05:48Even without Caleb,
05:49we can survive.
05:50We have to get out of here.
05:52She looked at me,
05:53tears streaming down her face.
05:55We heard the sirens again from downstairs.
05:58Just like when the rescue team showed up earlier,
06:01Caleb must have taken off with Brianna.
06:03The fire was getting worse by the second,
06:05and all I could think was that we were probably done for.
06:09Phyllis coughed a few more times,
06:10then went silent on my back.
06:14The fire was creeping closer and starting to singe my clothes.
06:17Jeanette, the security guard says he didn't see you leave the building.
06:20Are you still in there?
06:21I couldn't hold the tears back anymore and shout as loud as I could.
06:24Help, please!
06:26My mother-in-law is unconscious and I'm pregnant!
06:29We need help!
06:30A moment later,
06:31someone charged through the flames with a fire extinguisher.
06:34I couldn't hang on any longer and passed out right there.
06:38When I came to, Phyllis and I were safe outside the building.
06:41Our rescuer was Caleb's co-worker, Samuel Jacobs.
06:45His face was covered in soot,
06:47and when he saw I was awake,
06:48he gave me a weak smile.
06:50I knew I heard voices in there, Jeanette,
06:52but Brianna kept saying no one was left.
06:56He barely managed to say those words before he collapsed.
07:02Panicked bystanders quickly called an ambulance for the three of us.
07:06Thankfully, none of us were seriously hurt,
07:09but Phyllis had some ongoing health problems,
07:11and Samuel had inhaled a dangerous amount of smoke,
07:14so they were both out cold.
07:17When Caleb heard what happened,
07:18he rushed to the hospital.
07:20The second he saw me,
07:21he brushed past the nurses and stormed over to me,
07:24slapping me hard across the face.
07:26You shameless woman.
07:28How could you be so heartless?
07:31Why did you try to kill Bri?
07:33You weren't even home!
07:34Why go back into that fire?
07:36Do you realize you almost killed Sam?
07:38I can't believe I married someone so cold.
07:40You'd be a murderer if anything had happened to them!
07:42I was still shaking from the terror of almost dying when he hit me,
07:46knocking me to the ground.
07:47And that was when Brianna poked her head out from behind him.
07:51I know you hate me, Jean,
07:52she said,
07:53weakly leaning on Caleb's shoulder and coughing hard.
07:57But did you ever think about how many lives you put in danger?
08:02When Caleb saw her spit up blood,
08:05he turned around and kicked me hard as I tried to get up.
08:11My child.
08:13My little one.
08:15You monster!
08:16Why didn't you just die in that fire?
08:18I should have dragged Sam out and left you to burn.
08:21He loomed over me,
08:22his eyes full of pure hatred.
08:24Brianna curled up in his arms and gave me a smug look.
08:28I was too exhausted to argue.
08:30Blood was pooling beneath me.
08:33And the pain was so intense that I could barely manage to whisper.
08:37Doctor.
08:38Call the doctor.
08:40Caleb sneered at my suffering.
08:42A doctor?
08:44Did you ever think that if you'd killed them,
08:47they wouldn't have had a chance to call one for themselves?
08:50I stared at him,
08:51tears stinging my eyes.
08:53He was over the moon about our baby before Brianna showed up.
08:57He'd even set up a nursery
08:59and picked out a name,
09:01Janet Holt.
09:03I'd love for our child to take my last name
09:07and have a name inspired by yours.
09:10But now,
09:11as blood poured from me,
09:13he just turned away and covered Brianna's eyes.
09:18That's gross.
09:19I don't want you to see that.
09:20In this life and my past life,
09:23you chose her over our child.
09:27This time,
09:28I won't let you get away with it.
09:31I woke up and found myself in a ward.
09:34The nurse saw I was awake
09:36and deliberately threw the medicine bottle into the trash with a loud clink.
09:41Her voice was dripping with sarcasm as she said,
09:45after all the harm you caused.
09:48The only thing you lost was your child.
09:52Guess you're lucky.
09:54My throat felt like it was burning
09:55and I couldn't get a word out.
09:57All I could do was swallow her insults in silence.
10:00Suddenly,
10:01the nurse slammed the door open with a loud bang
10:03and shouted to the people outside.
10:05The suspect's awake!
10:06Get her out of here!
10:07We don't want her messing up our hospital.
10:09She actually went after a fallen hero's daughter?
10:14What a joke!
10:15She should have just been left to burn.
10:17Two people at the door grabbed me without saying a word
10:20and before I knew it,
10:21I was being taken to see Caleb.
10:24There was a table between us.
10:26His face was stormy like he was about to snap.
10:29He wasted no time laying the blame on me as soon as he spoke.
10:33You're cold-blooded for trying to kill someone, Jeanette Sloan,
10:37since you were pregnant.
10:39I might be able to push for probation.
10:41But you're still going to prison!
10:44Then,
10:45as if even speaking to me would ruin his reputation,
10:48he turned his head away with a stiff jerk.
10:54My throat felt raw
10:56and when I tried to speak up for myself,
10:58all that came out was a harsh cough.
11:03Brianna rushed in,
11:04prying her eyes out.
11:05She practically threw herself into Caleb's arms.
11:08I just had another nightmare, Kay.
11:11I dreamed I was burning alive in the fire.
11:14I'm so scared.
11:15Caleb's face,
11:16which had just started to soften,
11:18turned again as soon as the hurt.
11:20I don't get how Bri of all peoples could have done anything to offend you, Jeanette.
11:26Why do you hate her so much that you keep trying to hurt her?
11:29Her dad gave his life on a rescue mission.
11:32And this is how you treat the daughter of a fallen hero, huh?
11:35He couldn't finish his sentence.
11:37You...
11:38You're...
11:39He clenched his fists
11:40and pounded the table in frustration.
11:44Someone handed me a cup of water.
11:46I took a few big gulps
11:48before I could get the words out.
11:50I didn't start that fire.
11:53Brianna did.
11:54She's the one who should be blamed and locked up.
12:00And you should be in jail too, Caleb.
12:04You failed in your duty.
12:08Caleb slammed his hand on the table again
12:10and jumped to his feet.
12:12He leaned in,
12:13his eyes burning into mine.
12:15Bri is always innocent and sweet.
12:17How can you slander her like that?
12:19She already told me what happened.
12:22It was you.
12:23Yeah, you.
12:24You spiteful woman
12:25who started the fire
12:26over some small argument.
12:28I looked at him in silence.
12:30No matter what I said,
12:32he had already chosen
12:33whose side he was on.
12:34Brianna immediately broke down in tears.
12:37She's trying to set me up again, Kay.
12:39I'm so scared.
12:40All I ever wanted was to be your friend.
12:43Is that really such a crime?
12:45Why won't you just stop
12:47trying to kill me, Jean?
12:49She lunged at me,
12:51grabbing my arm and shaking it.
12:52I knew exactly what she was trying to do.
12:54The same trick.
12:55I pulled away in disgust
12:57and as soon as I did,
12:59she collapsed backward and screamed.
13:01Kay, help!
13:02She pushed me!
13:06Caleb jumped to his feet instantly,
13:09pulling Brianna into his arms,
13:11then used his free hand
13:12to grab me and shove me to the ground.
13:15You actually hurt her right before me,
13:17Jeanette?
13:18Are you seriously that shameless?
13:20If you weren't pregnant,
13:21I'd have you thrown in jail right now
13:23to teach you a lesson!
13:24I looked up at Caleb,
13:26who was seething.
13:27He still looked so familiar,
13:29the person who once promised me the world.
13:31But now,
13:31any hopes I had about us were long gone.
13:34In my past life,
13:35when Brianna took her own life,
13:37he thought I was the one who killed her.
13:38Now,
13:39with Brianna still alive,
13:40he still blamed me
13:42for starting that deadly fire.
13:44I just couldn't see the point
13:45of this marriage anymore.
13:47Let's just get a divorce, Caleb.
13:49Take me to court if you want.
13:52Now that the baby's gone,
13:53I'm curious to see
13:54if you can still get me thrown in jail.
13:58What the hell are you talking about?
14:01What do you mean the baby's gone?
14:03I looked at Caleb,
14:05fighting the urge to laugh.
14:06When I say the baby's gone,
14:08I mean our child died.
14:11I did everything to get Phyllis
14:13out of that fire,
14:14and then
14:15you kicked me so hard
14:16that you killed our baby.
14:18Caleb's eyes went wide with shock.
14:21Brianna jumped in,
14:23saying,
14:23Stop lying!
14:25You must have been carrying
14:26someone else's kid,
14:27and you were scared
14:28Kay would find out.
14:29So,
14:30you found a way
14:31to get rid of it!
14:35A bitter laugh escaped me.
14:38You seriously think
14:40I'd risk my life in a fire
14:41just to lose my baby?
14:43Brianna,
14:44you have a real knack
14:45for twisting everything.
14:46Is there any lie
14:47you won't tell?
14:48Brianna was red with anger.
14:50She let out a hurt whipper.
14:53She's making stuff up again, Kay!
14:58I don't know why
14:59she hates me so much.
15:01She tried to snuggle
15:02into Caleb's arms,
15:04but he stayed still,
15:05his eyes fixed on my belly.
15:08My health wasn't the best.
15:10Caleb and I both wanted
15:12this baby so badly.
15:13He knew that no matter
15:14how cold I came off,
15:16I'd never do anything
15:17to hurt my child on purpose.
15:19I never meant for things
15:20to go down like this,
15:21I just wanted to teach you
15:23a lesson.
15:24You're the one
15:24who started the fire
15:25in the first place!
15:26You're always so stubborn!
15:28I lost it!
15:30I'm sorry!
15:31I shook my head.
15:32I don't want your apology.
15:34It's too late for that.
15:36If you still think
15:37I started the fire,
15:38then lock me up
15:39and look into it.
15:42Caleb gritted his teeth,
15:43his voice faltering with fear.
15:46I have no idea.
15:47I...
15:48You're in such bad shape.
15:51You should just go back
15:52and rest for now.
15:54Brianna shook her head quickly.
15:56Kay!
15:57She almost killed me!
15:59If my parents were still here,
16:01they'd never let me
16:02go through this.
16:03Mom, Dad,
16:05I miss you so much.
16:07Brianna's heartbroken sobs
16:09made C-Lib stiffen.
16:11Bri, don't cry.
16:13It's not your fault.
16:16I knew Brianna's parents
16:18had saved his life once.
16:19Later,
16:20they died on the job,
16:21leaving her all alone.
16:23Over the years,
16:25Caleb had drained
16:25all our savings
16:26to take care of Brianna,
16:27buying her a car,
16:28a house,
16:29and all sorts of luxury items.
16:31None of that
16:32ever bothered me.
16:34But ever since
16:36Caleb's parents
16:36struck it rich in business,
16:40Brianna lashed onto him
16:41like a leech.
16:42A burnt-out light bulb?
16:44She'd call him to fix it.
16:48Kay,
16:48I can't do this alone.
16:50Can you
16:51come over?
16:53The flogged toilet?
16:56She'd be on the phone again.
17:00I know it's late,
17:01but I really need you.
17:04Even a tiny cut
17:05from chopping vegetables,
17:06she'd demand
17:07he'd take her to the hospital.
17:11It hurts so much, Kay.
17:14What if something happens to me?
17:18Every time I subtly suggested
17:20he set some boundaries,
17:22Brianna would start crying
17:23like she was now
17:24and bring up her parents.
17:27Caleb,
17:28helping her is fine,
17:29but you can't keep
17:30putting our marriage second.
17:34Jeanette,
17:34she has no one else.
17:36Can't you be more
17:36understanding?
17:39Back then,
17:41I was torn and upset,
17:43trying to figure out
17:44how Caleb could pay
17:45for Brianna's parents back
17:47without getting
17:48too close to her.
17:49Caleb,
17:50I understand you want
17:51to repay their goodness,
17:53but you can't spend
17:54your whole life
17:55making me pay
17:56for a debt I never owed.
17:57They saved my life,
17:59Jeanette.
17:59How can you ask me
18:00to turn my back on Bri?
18:02But everything became
18:03crystal clear to me
18:04after I got a second
18:06chance at life.
18:07Brianna's parents
18:08saved his life,
18:09not mine.
18:10If he wanted to show
18:11his gratitude
18:11by being there for her,
18:13that was on them.
18:15They had no right
18:15to pull me into
18:16their drama
18:18and paint me
18:19as the bad guy.
18:20I couldn't stand it
18:21any longer.
18:22I got up
18:23and headed for the door,
18:24saying,
18:26I'll have my lawyer
18:27handle the divorce
18:28agreement, Caleb.
18:29We're done.
18:30For good.
18:32Brianna,
18:33still leaning on Caleb,
18:34looked up in shock,
18:35and for the first time ever,
18:37Caleb pushed her hand off.
18:39He grabbed my arm,
18:41eyes wide in disbelief.
18:43I dare you to say
18:45that again, Jeanette!
18:47I held my ground,
18:49staring him down
18:50without flinching,
18:51my voice icy.
18:53I said we're getting
18:54a divorce.
18:55I'm not asking
18:56for your opinion.
18:57His face contorted,
18:58and he grabbed my wrist
18:59like he was trying
19:00to break it.
19:00His voice dripped
19:01with anger.
19:02Wake up, Jeanette!
19:03You're the one
19:04who started all this!
19:05I haven't even blamed you yet!
19:07And now,
19:07you're asking for a divorce?
19:08But as soon as he said that,
19:10his tone softened.
19:12All right,
19:13that's enough.
19:14I'll talk to Brianna,
19:15get her to understand,
19:16and have her write you
19:17a letter of forgiveness.
19:19Just stop
19:20causing a scene.
19:22I didn't mean for the baby
19:24to die.
19:26I'll protect you.
19:27I looked at Caleb's
19:28serious face
19:29and couldn't help
19:29but laugh.
19:30He accused me
19:31of starting the fire
19:32without even asking me
19:33a single question.
19:34And now,
19:35he was all about
19:36protecting me.
19:38I don't need
19:39anyone's protection,
19:40Caleb.
19:41I didn't start the fire,
19:42so feel free to investigate
19:43all you want.
19:46I said,
19:47turning to leave.
19:49He tightened his grip
19:50on my wrist.
19:51His eyes were a mix
19:52of confusion
19:53and exhaustion,
19:55like he couldn't figure out
19:56if he should cover for me.
19:58You're older than Bri,
20:00but why are you acting
20:01less thoughtful
20:01than she is?
20:02When Brianna heard that,
20:04her expression went
20:05from pure hatred
20:06to something
20:07that looked almost sad.
20:09If that's what you want,
20:10Kay,
20:11I'll let it go
20:12for your sake.
20:12I won't press charges,
20:14but I'm honestly worried
20:16Gene might pull
20:16something crazy again.
20:18You promised my parents
20:19you'd never let me
20:20deal with this.
20:21I stopped
20:22and turned
20:23to look at them.
20:24As soon as Brianna
20:26brought up her parents,
20:27Caleb's expression
20:28shifted in a flash.
20:30After a second,
20:30it looked like
20:31he made up his mind.
20:33I'm sorry, Jeanette.
20:34I can't let Brianna
20:34go through this.
20:35With that,
20:36he left with Brianna
20:37and the door
20:38slammed shut in my face.
20:40I pursed my lips,
20:41staring at the black door.
20:43This was my husband,
20:44Caleb.
20:45He talked about
20:46having my back,
20:47but deep down,
20:48he believed I was
20:48the one who did it.
20:50One minute,
20:51he was apologizing,
20:52and the next,
20:53he was locking me
20:54in the interrogation room.
20:56What a joke.
20:58They kept me locked up
20:59for two whole days.
21:01No one bothered
21:02to bring me food
21:03or water.
21:04It didn't take much
21:05to figure out
21:05who was behind this.
21:07Brianna, of course.
21:08She was the daughter
21:09of a fallen hero,
21:10so everyone assumed
21:11she was in the right.
21:13People defended her,
21:14took care of her,
21:15and a lot of them
21:16even hated me
21:16because of her.
21:17Brianna would never
21:18do something like that.
21:20She lost her parents
21:21because of her kindness.
21:23She isn't the kind of person
21:24you're making her out to be.
21:27But I knew I hadn't done
21:28any of the things
21:29they were accusing me of.
21:30Right before I passed out,
21:31I remembered seeing
21:32Brianna stumble into traffic.
21:34I didn't see how manipulative
21:35she was back then.
21:36I actually thought
21:37she was just a helpless
21:38young woman who needed help.
21:40I froze in pain.
21:42Brianna, watch out!
21:43The chicken noodle soup
21:44I brought her
21:45slipped out of my hands,
21:46splashing all over my calf
21:48and burning me.
21:49The next thing I knew,
21:50Caleb shoved me to the ground
21:52like he was trying
21:52to knock the wind out of me.
21:54What are you doing?
21:55Are you trying to hurt her again?
21:57I looked up at him,
21:58unable to believe
21:59what I was hearing.
22:01Then, I heard Brianna crying.
22:03Why did you push me, Gene?
22:07What are you doing?
22:07Caleb was so pissed that day,
22:09he punched the trunk
22:10of a tree nearby.
22:12Dust and falling leaves
22:13got in my eyes,
22:14making them burn.
22:16I tried to explain myself,
22:18but it was like
22:18he wasn't even listening.
22:21He drove like a madman
22:23all the way home,
22:24locked me in the house.
22:26Think carefully
22:27about what you've actually done!
22:29Thought about what, exactly?
22:31The only thing I realized
22:32was that his relationship
22:34with Brianna
22:34had totally changed.
22:36No matter how much I cried
22:37or tried to explain,
22:39Caleb wouldn't believe
22:40a word I said.
22:41I begged him to check
22:42the surveillance footage,
22:43but he just slammed the door
22:45and stormed off.
22:47You've already hurt Bri.
22:48Do you want me to make her
22:50think I don't trust her?
22:51She's just a friend to me.
22:52Why can't you accept that?
22:53A tear slipped down my cheek
22:55before I even realized it.
22:56The next thing I knew,
22:58I saw Brianna
22:59tumble down the stairs.
23:01Caleb's brow sightened
23:03and his look at me
23:03was icy.
23:05Didn't I tell you
23:06to stay away from her?
23:07Why would you do this?
23:08You're being
23:09completely unreasonable.
23:12Don't be afraid, Bri.
23:13I'll take you
23:14to the hospital.
23:15He lifted Brianna
23:16onto his shoulder.
23:17Before they left,
23:18she shot me
23:19a smug grin.
23:20That was the day
23:21I first started thinking
23:22about divorce
23:23and the same day
23:24I found out
23:25I was pregnant.
23:27Like a lot of women,
23:29I put up with
23:29way too much
23:30for the guy I chose.
23:34I thought maybe
23:35having a baby
23:36would make Selid
23:37see things differently.
23:38But now,
23:39he was the one
23:40who caused our baby's death.
23:42And I finally realized
23:44he wasn't going to change.
23:46I was done being
23:47the woman standing
23:48between him and Brianna.
23:50But before I left for good,
23:52I wanted to take back
23:53something for myself.
23:55I opened my eyes
23:56and found myself
23:56staring at the same
23:57white ceiling.
24:01The nurse kept
24:02slamming things around,
24:03grumbling to herself.
24:04It doesn't make any sense.
24:06The person who saved
24:07everyone is still
24:08unconscious,
24:08while the one who
24:09caused this is
24:10perfectly fine.
24:11His mom's still
24:12in the hospital,
24:13but he drops the charges.
24:14It's just ridiculous.
24:16I gathered every ounce
24:18of strength
24:18to sit up in bed.
24:20Then,
24:20I glanced at the nurse.
24:22You're Brianna's friend,
24:23right?
24:24Even if she wants
24:25to drop the lawsuit,
24:26I'm not backing down.
24:34Can you stop
24:35making this harder
24:36on me, Jeanette?
24:37Do you have any idea
24:38how much I had to talk
24:38Brianna into dropping
24:39the charges?
24:40She's letting it go.
24:41What else do you want?
24:44I shot him a cold look
24:45and stayed quiet.
24:47He looked a little shaken
24:48by how sick I looked.
24:50He softened his tone.
24:52All right.
24:53The nurse says you're fine.
24:54Just apologize to Brianna
24:56and we can move on
24:57from this.
24:58Apologize to her?
24:59I snared.
25:00I'm not apologizing to her.
25:02I want her behind bars.
25:05That finally set Caleb off
25:07and he grabbed me
25:08by the collar.
25:09The veins in his hand
25:11were bulging like he was
25:12barely stopping himself
25:13from hurting me.
25:16What's wrong with you now?
25:17Have you lost your mind?
25:19I've done so much for you.
25:21Why do you keep
25:22going after Bri?
25:23I shook my head
25:24at Caleb
25:25then reached under my pillow,
25:27pulled out the divorce agreement
25:28and handed it to him.
25:32I've already signed.
25:33I told you, Caleb.
25:35Brianna started that fire
25:36trying to kill me
25:37and our baby.
25:40Without even looking
25:41at the papers,
25:42Caleb tore them up
25:43and tossed the pieces at me.
25:45Do you have any mores left, Jeanette?
25:47You nearly killed
25:48an innocent person.
25:50I've done everything
25:51I can for you
25:52but you're treating me
25:52like this?
25:54You never even wanted
25:55to know the truth,
25:56did you?
25:58The truth?
26:00Brianna almost died
26:01because of you.
26:02What more truth do I need?
26:04Just then,
26:05a nurse's voice
26:06came from the door.
26:07Caleb, your mom's awake.
26:09He immediately let go of me
26:11and rushed out of the room
26:11like a whirlwind.
26:12I mustered up
26:13what little strength
26:14I had left
26:15and followed him
26:16to Phyllis Ward.
26:17Caleb dropped to his knees
26:19beside her bed,
26:20his body tense.
26:22Thank goodness
26:22you're awake, mom.
26:24Jeanette only did
26:25what she did
26:25because she wasn't
26:26thinking clearly
26:27for a moment.
26:28Please don't hold it
26:29against her.
26:31He lowered his head,
26:32putting on the appearance
26:33of taking responsibility.
26:35It's my fault
26:36for coddling her.
26:37That's why she ended up
26:38like this.
26:40Phyllis stared at him
26:41and the next thing I knew,
26:42she slapped him hard
26:43across the face.
26:46Caleb wasn't expecting it
26:48and went down hard.
26:49Clutching his swollen cheek,
26:51he looked at her in shock.
26:52I know you're upset, mom,
26:54but Jeanette lost the baby.
26:56I can't let her go to jail now.
26:58I don't want her to get hurt.
27:00I snored from the doorway.
27:02He actually believed
27:04Philly slapped him
27:05because she thought
27:05he shouldn't have married me.
27:07Phyllis narrowed her eyes,
27:08shooting Caleb a frustre.
27:11Stop with the nonsense!
27:14Jeanette started the fire?
27:16She was with me all day!
27:18How could she have done it?
27:20Caleb froze,
27:21stumbling over his words
27:22for a second
27:23before finally getting them out.
27:25But Bree said
27:26Jeanette invited her over
27:27and started the fire
27:28on purpose to kill her.
27:30Phyllis was already
27:30sitting up in bed.
27:33The moment she heard
27:34Caleb's words,
27:35she kicked him hard
27:36in the chest and yelled,
27:38You bastard!
27:40How the hell did I end up
27:43raising someone so dumb?
27:47Are you really this thick?
27:49Jeanette was here with me
27:51when you left with Brianna
27:53and when she said
27:54no one else was around.
27:56Jeanette was the one
27:58who gave me
27:58that last bit of water.
28:00That's the only reason
28:01I'm still breathing!
28:04Caleb's eyes went wide
28:05in shock.
28:06He dropped to the floor,
28:07stunned for a long while.
28:09When Phyllis looked up,
28:11she spotted me
28:12in the doorway
28:12and waved me over.
28:14A flood of emotions
28:15hit me all at once
28:16and I barely managed
28:17to choke out.
28:19Phyllis!
28:20I walked toward her
28:21and she pulled me
28:22into her arms.
28:23I'm sorry, Jeanette.
28:25You shouldn't have had
28:26to endure all of this alone.
28:28Tears ran down her face
28:29and as if something
28:31snapped inside her,
28:32she jumped up
28:33and began kicking
28:34and hitting Caleb again.
28:36What's wrong with you?
28:38Didn't I tell you
28:39something was off
28:40with Brianna?
28:41Why the hell
28:42do you keep getting
28:43wrapped up in her mess
28:44and ignoring Jeanette?
28:46Suddenly,
28:47Brianna appeared
28:47in the middle of the chaos,
28:49calling out sweetly,
28:50Kay.
28:52Brianna appeared
28:52in the doorway,
28:53looking fragile
28:54and frightened.
28:55Caleb slowly turned
28:56toward her,
28:57his eyes red
28:57and puffed.
28:59Brianna Jones,
29:00how can you be
29:02this wicked?
29:04Brianna staggered back,
29:06her lips quivering.
29:10It didn't take long
29:12for her to come up
29:12with an excuse.
29:14Don't listen to them, Kay!
29:17Jeanette's the one
29:18who started the fire!
29:19I saw it
29:20with my own eyes!
29:22Her words were met
29:24with a hard slap
29:25from Caleb.
29:26My mom said
29:27you set the fire!
29:32People might lie
29:33to me,
29:33but not her!
29:35Brianna recoiled
29:36from his roar,
29:37tears instantly
29:38streaming down
29:39her face.
29:43What if
29:44your mom's
29:45lying on purpose?
29:47Before she could finish,
29:48Caleb slapped her again,
29:50sending her crashing
29:51to the floor.
29:52She stared at him
29:53in shock
29:54and bit her lip hard.
29:55Kay!
29:58If my parents
29:59were still around,
30:00they'd be heartbroken
30:02to see how
30:03you're treating me!
30:05Caleb stood there,
30:06fists clenched.
30:07But in the end,
30:09he didn't hit her again.
30:10He let out
30:11a heavy sigh.
30:13It seemed like
30:14he only remembered
30:15I was there
30:15and reached for my hand.
30:17Jeanette, please.
30:19Don't blame Bri,
30:20okay?
30:24I forced a smile,
30:25feeling defeated.
30:26As I'd expected,
30:28Brianna's parents
30:28past kindness
30:29toward him
30:30was his weak spot.
30:31Even after learning
30:32the truth,
30:32his first reaction
30:33when he saw me
30:34was still to beg for her.
30:35I opened my mouth,
30:36but it took me a moment
30:37to realize
30:38I was actually speaking.
30:40Caleb,
30:40let's get a divorce.
30:42Caleb's eyes
30:43filled with tears.
30:44He grabbed my hand
30:45and shook it
30:45like he was desperate.
30:46I misunderstood you,
30:48Jeanette.
30:48I was wrong.
30:51Can we not
30:51go through with it?
30:52I love you.
30:53I really do.
30:56I looked at the hand
30:57holding mine.
30:58This was the hand
30:59I wanted to hold
31:00for the rest of my life,
31:01but now,
31:02it only reminded me
31:03of everything I had lost.
31:05You don't love me,
31:06Caleb.
31:08You love Brianna.
31:11I'm holding you
31:11responsible for our kid,
31:13and she's on the hook
31:14for the arson too.
31:16Brianna collapsed
31:17back against the wall.
31:18I didn't even look her way.
31:19I turned and walked out.
31:21Our house was burned
31:23to ashes,
31:23so I found a random hotel
31:25and checked in.
31:26I had barely closed my eyes
31:29when someone started
31:30banging on the door.
31:32I opened it
31:33to find Caleb standing there,
31:35looking drained.
31:37Can we talk, Jeanette?
31:38I looked at him
31:39and gave a small smile.
31:41There's nothing to talk about
31:42except the divorce.
31:43No sooner had I said that
31:45than his eyes
31:46welled up again.
31:47He pushed his way
31:48into the room,
31:49his voice shaky
31:50with emotion.
31:52I messed up, Jeanette.
31:54Can you forgive me?
31:56Let's go back
31:57to how things were.
31:59I sighed,
32:00feeling defeated.
32:05And what about Brianna?
32:07Caleb stared at me blankly.
32:09I continued.
32:11I already heard it
32:12before I left.
32:13She's pregnant
32:14with your kid.
32:16His body was trembling.
32:17After a moment,
32:18he spoke
32:19like he was testing the waters.
32:20I won't acknowledge that, child.
32:21It was a mistake
32:22and I won't let it ruin
32:23everything between us.
32:25I know I don't deserve
32:26your forgiveness, Jeanette,
32:27but please,
32:28give me another chance.
32:31I shook my head again
32:34when he left me
32:35to die in that fire
32:36and when he took
32:37our baby's life
32:38with his own hands.
32:40We lost our chance
32:41a long time ago,
32:42didn't we?
32:44I used to believe
32:45if I loved Caleb enough,
32:46he'd finally see my worth.
32:48But what was the point?
32:49Those happy times
32:50were long gone.
32:52He wasn't the one
32:53who made me laugh anymore.
32:54And I wasn't the same
32:56naive woman
32:56who let people
32:57walk all over him.
32:58There was no turning back.
33:00I turned,
33:02walked to the table,
33:03grabbed Ob the Devor agreement
33:04I'd just printed,
33:05I'd just printed,
33:07and handed it to him.
33:09Sign it.
33:10Caleb snatched it
33:11from my hand,
33:12tears pouring down
33:13on his face.
33:16Do we really have
33:17to go this far,
33:17Janine?
33:19We used to love
33:20each other so much.
33:21He choked up,
33:23struggling to get
33:23the words out.
33:25I felt nothing
33:26but disgust.
33:27He used to be
33:28so fearless,
33:29like nothing could
33:30touch him.
33:31Now,
33:32he couldn't even
33:32bring himself
33:33to sign his name.
33:35Caleb looked me over
33:36for a few seconds
33:37before slumping
33:37in defeat.
33:39I swear,
33:40I didn't know
33:40the truth.
33:41I didn't realize
33:42you were being set up.
33:43It was all
33:43Brianna's lies,
33:44Jeanette.
33:45I just didn't see it.
33:47Caleb started crying
33:48like a kid,
33:50but I didn't feel
33:51a thing.
33:52Caleb,
33:52you're just gonna
33:53take her word for it,
33:54huh?
33:55If Sam hadn't shown up,
33:56Phyllis and I
33:57would have burned alive.
33:58Then,
33:59you wouldn't have
33:59cared enough
34:00to investigate
34:00our deaths.
34:04You would have
34:05just gone with
34:05the tragic accident story,
34:07because Brianna
34:08told you to,
34:08right?
34:09He covered his face
34:10and went quiet
34:11for what seemed
34:11like forever.
34:14Finally,
34:15he signed
34:16the divorce agreement
34:17and left
34:17without a word.
34:20We agreed
34:20to meet in a week
34:21to finalize everything.
34:24The day
34:24finally came
34:25and I was
34:26feeling good.
34:27I'd gotten
34:28enough sleep,
34:29was wearing
34:30the new clothes
34:30I picked out,
34:31and was holding
34:32it together.
34:33Caleb,
34:34though,
34:34looked like he
34:34hadn't slept in days.
34:36When he saw me
34:37from a distance,
34:37his eyes
34:38were already red.
34:39He got closer,
34:40and I could hear him
34:41fighting to keep
34:42his voice steady.
34:45Jeanette,
34:45are we really...
34:46There's no going back,
34:47Caleb.
34:49He didn't say
34:50anything else.
34:52He left me
34:53the house,
34:53the car,
34:54the savings.
34:55After that,
34:56I didn't waste
34:57any time going
34:58after Brianna
34:58for arson.
35:00She wasn't
35:01getting off
35:01that easily.
35:04The next time
35:05I saw her,
35:06she was curled up
35:06against Caleb,
35:07crying hard,
35:08begging in a
35:09shaky voice.
35:11I can't go
35:12to jail,
35:13Kay.
35:14My parents
35:15just wanted me
35:16to be safe
35:17and happy.
35:19Please,
35:20you have to
35:20help me.
35:21Caleb shoved
35:22her away,
35:23stiff as a
35:23bard.
35:25Your parents
35:26wouldn't want you
35:26turning out like
35:27this.
35:29she froze.
35:30When she saw me,
35:31she jumped up
35:32and yelled,
35:33Why won't you
35:34just leave me
35:35alone?
35:37Caleb's already
35:38given you
35:38everything.
35:39Isn't that
35:40enough?
35:41That fire
35:41was an accident!
35:45Why can't you
35:46just let it go?
35:48I shook my head,
35:49then gave a
35:50small nod.
35:52Caleb gave me
35:52his assets to
35:53make up for
35:54his mistakes.
35:55It's got nothing
35:55to do with you.
35:56As for whether
35:57the fire was
35:58an accident,
35:59how about we
35:59check the
36:00security footage?
36:01Brianna was
36:02stunned,
36:03muttering,
36:04No way.
36:06Everything
36:06burned down.
36:07How could
36:08there be
36:08footage?
36:09If you had
36:10it,
36:10you'd have
36:10shown it
36:11already.
36:12Why wait
36:12until now?
36:13Don't try
36:14to pull one
36:15over on me.
36:16It was
36:16just an
36:17accident!
36:18I pursed
36:19my lips.
36:20You don't
36:20know about
36:21cloud storage,
36:21huh?
36:22Poor thing.
36:24Back then,
36:25I couldn't
36:25show it because
36:26I was stuck
36:26being interrogated.
36:29I hadn't
36:30found the
36:31right moment.
36:39You always
36:40accused me of
36:41hitting you,
36:42right?
36:43Well,
36:44here's what you
36:45asked for.
36:48Kay,
36:49look!
36:50What's there
36:50to look at?
36:51You knew it
36:52was all going
36:53to end this
36:53way.
36:54So why set
36:55others up
36:55in the first
36:55place?
36:56While they
36:57were arguing,
36:58I handed over
36:58all the proof
36:59I'd gathered.
37:00Soon,
37:02Brianna was
37:02convicted of
37:03arson and
37:04sentenced to
37:04five years.
37:05But since she
37:06was pregnant,
37:07her sentence
37:07wouldn't start
37:08until her baby
37:09turned one
37:09years old.
37:10Meanwhile,
37:11Caleb was
37:11fired for
37:12serious negligence
37:13that nearly got
37:14someone killed
37:15and was banned
37:16from his field.
37:17Brianna tried
37:17to use her
37:18pregnancy to
37:19force him into
37:19marrying her,
37:20but he refused.
37:21He even denied
37:23the child was
37:23his.
37:26That baby
37:26was her last
37:27hope and when
37:28neither Caleb
37:29nor Phyllis gave
37:30in, she nearly
37:31lost it.
37:32She showed up
37:33at the Holt
37:33family's shop
37:34every day,
37:35making a scene
37:36about how Caleb
37:36got her pregnant
37:37and refused
37:38to take
37:38responsibility.
37:40Caleb Holt!
37:41You can't
37:42abandon me now!
37:43This is your
37:43child!
37:45You promised
37:46you'd always
37:47take care of
37:47me!
37:50The security
37:51didn't want
37:51to hurt
37:51a pregnant
37:52woman,
37:52so they
37:53just let
37:53her have
37:53her meltdown.
37:55Please leave
37:56Mrs. Jones,
37:56you're disturbing
37:57the customers.
37:58No!
37:59I won't leave
38:00until Caleb
38:00admits the truth!
38:02Soon,
38:02everyone learned
38:03how Caleb
38:04had ditched
38:04me to protect
38:05the other
38:05woman,
38:06and business
38:06at the Holt's
38:07shop plummeted.
38:09Before long,
38:10Brianna must have
38:11bumped into
38:12something during
38:12one of her
38:13outbursts,
38:14and ended up
38:15losing the baby.
38:16She'd lost
38:17her last chance.
38:18Not only did
38:19she fail to
38:19get Caleb
38:20to marry her,
38:21but with the
38:21pregnancy ending
38:22early, her
38:23sentence got
38:23moved up,
38:24and she'd have
38:25to serve it
38:26sooner than
38:26expected.
38:27Kay, you
38:28can't do this
38:29to me.
38:29I did
38:30everything for
38:30you.
38:31Phyllis looked
38:32like she aged
38:33a decade in a
38:34single day,
38:34and Caleb seemed
38:35like he was
38:36falling apart,
38:37too.
38:39I heard
38:40through the
38:40grapevine that
38:41he kept asking
38:42about me.
38:43Our mutual
38:44friends would
38:45drop little
38:45hints,
38:46checking in
38:47to see how
38:47I was doing
38:48and if I'd
38:49ever think
38:49about getting
38:49back with
38:50him.
38:51Jeanette,
38:52Caleb really
38:52regrets what
38:53happened.
38:54He says he
38:54knows he
38:55was wrong.
38:56Have you
38:56really decided
38:57to never
38:58go back?
38:59I couldn't
39:00help but
39:00smile.
39:01I spent
39:02years waiting
39:03for him
39:03to choose
39:04me.
39:04I won't
39:05spend another
39:05day waiting.
39:06Yeah, that
39:07was never
39:07going to
39:08happen.
39:08After
39:09leaving Caleb,
39:10I didn't
39:10have to worry
39:11about him
39:11and Brianna
39:12getting too
39:13close anymore.
39:13I could
39:14finally focus
39:15on myself
39:15and everything
39:16started falling
39:17into place.
39:19I ran my
39:20own small
39:21business, which
39:22kept me busy, but
39:23I felt fulfilled
39:24rather than
39:24drained.
39:25There was no
39:26turning back to
39:27the life I had
39:27before, and I
39:29never wanted to
39:29cross paths with
39:30someone like Caleb
39:31again.
39:32That miserable
39:33chapter was
39:33closed for good.
39:35I couldn't say
39:36what lay ahead
39:37for them, but I
39:38had a feeling my
39:39future was looking
39:40pretty bright.
39:45I had a feeling
39:45was looking
39:45like this
39:45went to
39:45the
39:45world
39:45as
39:46I'm going to
