00:00You're there, don't cry.
00:01Then she turned and glared at me.
00:03Abigail, what did you do to Caroline this time?
00:05I just stood there.
00:06I couldn't get a single word out.
00:08What did I do?
00:09She stole my family.
00:11She stole my fiancé.
00:13But the second she cries, I'm the villain.
00:16I straightened my back and looked around at all of them.
00:18Do you want to know why she really skipped my wedding today?
00:21My mom pointed at me.
00:22Caroline wasn't feeling well.
00:24What are you implying?
00:25She's this sick?
00:26Can't you cut your own sister some slack?
00:30Sick?
00:31I let out a cold laugh, walked into the living room, pulled out a thick stack of papers and slammed
00:37it down on the table.
00:40See for yourselves.
00:42Show me where exactly she's sick.
00:44My mom hesitated, then opened it.
00:46One page, another page, and another.
00:50Her face went from confused to shocked.
00:52It was every medical report Caroline had from the past few years.
00:56And every single one said healthy, nothing abnormal.
00:59She was never sick.
01:01She'd been faking it for three whole years.
01:03Caroline's face frozen.
01:05She stammered.
01:06Mom, it's not like that.
01:09I, enough.
01:10I cut her off.
01:11I don't want to hear another excuse from any of you.
01:13From today on, this family, all of you, I'm done.
01:18We're nothing to each other.
01:19My mom's head snapped up.
01:21What's that supposed to mean?
01:22I announced it loud and clear.
01:25I got married.
01:26Just now.
01:27At that wedding.
01:28The living room went dead silent.
01:30Felix was the first to snap out of it.
01:32He charged forward, furious.
01:34What did you say?
01:36Who did you marry?
01:47My fiancé cheated on me.
01:49Two minutes before the wedding started, I got a text.
01:52Guess who's in my bed right now?
01:54My hands shook as I opened the video he sent along with it.
01:59It was my fiancé, Felix, and my maid of honor, Caroline.
02:04The two of them, going at it in my wedding suite.
02:08That bed under Caroline?
02:09I flew to Europe to pick it out myself.
02:11I was so stunned I almost dropped my phone.
02:15Videos can be fake these days.
02:17Don't believe it.
02:18Felix loves you so much.
02:20My makeup artist handed me a tissue.
02:23Right.
02:23He loved me for three years.
02:25He held my hand and swore he'd take care of me for life.
02:28It has to be fake.
02:30I called Felix right away.
02:32Where are you?
02:34The wedding's about to start.
02:37Easy, babe.
02:38I'm busy with something else.
02:39What could be more important than our wedding?
02:44There was a pause.
02:45And then I heard it.
02:46A soft moan.
02:47My best friend's moan.
02:49My heart went colder.
02:50Stop messing around.
02:51Cancel the wedding for now.
02:52And go tell everyone yourself.
02:55He hung up on me.
02:57I couldn't help it.
02:58I cried.
02:59I dialed another number.
03:05Dad, are you and mom almost here?
03:07Honey, Caroline isn't feeling well.
03:09Your mom and I might not make it.
03:11Three days ago, they'd just found out the truth.
03:14Caroline is the real Winchester daughter.
03:16I'm the one they took home by mistake.
03:19So everyone had chosen her.
03:23I had no time to fall apart.
03:25I wiped my tears.
03:27Lifted my dress.
03:28Walked up onto the stage step by step.
03:30And grabbed the mic from the host.
03:38Everyone's so sorry.
03:39The groom's busy sleeping with my maid of honor, so he can't make it.
03:42So, is there anyone here willing to marry me today?
03:46Dead silence.
03:47Nobody stood up.
03:48Like they were all just waiting to watch me crash and burn.
03:52Just when I thought today was going to be a total disaster.
03:55I'll marry you.
03:56A tall, handsome man stood up in the crowd.
03:59Black suit.
04:02Standing straighter than anyone in the room.
04:05The whole place exploded.
04:07Who is that?
04:08Never seen him.
04:09He's not one of us.
04:10He didn't seem to notice the stairs.
04:12He just walked toward me, step by step.
04:15And stopped right in front of me.
04:16A new groom?
04:17Are you serious about this?
04:19I don't joke about marriage.
04:21I looked him dead in the eye.
04:22What's your name?
04:23Marcus Fitzgerald.
04:25Fitzgerald?
04:26Wait, the same last name as Felix?
04:28I got a little nervous.
04:29Felix?
04:31How are you two related?
04:32We're not close.
04:33I'm sort of his distant uncle.
04:35I let out a breath.
04:36Okay.
04:37Good.
04:38Afraid he'd back out.
04:39I quickly grabbed the men's ring and slid it onto his finger.
04:44Then I handed him mine.
04:47Without hesitating, he leaned down and put it on me.
04:50Everyone froze, staring at us like they couldn't believe it.
04:53I took his arm, turned to face the whole room and announced it with a smile.
04:57Thank you all for coming today.
04:59I'm making it official.
05:00From this day on, I am Mrs. Fitzgerald.
05:03And I have nothing to do with the Winchester family ever again.
05:08After the wedding, I went back to the Winchester house to pack my things.
05:11As I cut through the garden, I heard moaning coming from behind the trellis.
05:15My eyes went wide.
05:16I followed the sound.
05:17On the swing, Caroline had her arms around Felix's neck.
05:20They were kissing.
05:21Flower petals all over them.
05:22The second he saw me, Felix shoved Caroline away.
05:26Abigail, what are you doing back here?
05:27Felix scrambled to his feet, his shirt still unbuttoned.
05:30But Caroline didn't get up.
05:32She stayed on the swing, covering her face, her shoulders shaking as she cried.
05:37Abigail, I'm sorry.
05:38It's all my fault.
05:39I shouldn't have gotten sick and ruined your wedding.
05:42She cried loud.
05:43Loud enough for the whole house to hear.
05:45Sure enough, my mom came hurrying out of the house.
05:48She took one look at me in the garden, then immediately pulled Caroline into her arms.
05:52There, there, don't cry.
05:54Then she turned and glared at me.
05:56Abigail, what did you do to Caroline this time?
05:58I just stood there.
05:59I couldn't get a single word out.
06:01What did I do?
06:02She stole my family.
06:04She stole my fiancé.
06:05But the second she cries, I'm the villain.
06:08I straightened my back and looked around at all of them.
06:11Do you want to know why she really skipped my wedding today?
06:13My mom pointed at me.
06:15Caroline wasn't feeling well.
06:16What are you implying?
06:18She's this sick?
06:19Can't you cut your own sister some slack?
06:23Sick?
06:24I let out a cold laugh, walked into the living room, pulled out a thick stack of papers and
06:29slammed it down on the table.
06:33See for yourselves.
06:34Show me where exactly she's sick.
06:36My mom hesitated, then opened it.
06:39One page.
06:40Another page.
06:41And another.
06:42Her face went from confused to shocked.
06:45It was every medical report Caroline had from the past few years.
06:49And every single one said healthy.
06:51Nothing abnormal.
06:52She was never sick.
06:53She'd been faking it for three whole years.
06:56Caroline's face frozen.
06:57She stammered.
06:59Mom.
07:00It's not like that.
07:02I...
07:02Enough!
07:02I cut her off.
07:03I don't want to hear another excuse from any of you.
07:06From today on, this family, all of you, I'm done.
07:11We're nothing to each other.
07:12My mom's head snapped up.
07:14What's that supposed to mean?
07:15I announced it loud and clear.
07:17I got married.
07:18Just now.
07:20At that wedding.
07:21The living room went dead silent.
07:23Felix was the first to snap out of it.
07:25He charged forward, furious.
07:27What did you say?
07:28Who did you marry?
07:31I ignored Felix, grabbed my suitcase, and headed for the door.
07:35Abigail!
07:35Don't make a joke out of something like marriage!
07:38He roared behind me.
07:39I didn't even turn around.
07:41A joke?
07:42I have never been more serious in my life.
07:44I dragged my suitcase out the front gate,
07:47tears blurring my eyes, not even wiping them,
07:49until I walked right into a telephone pole.
07:51A hand grabbed my arm and yanked me back.
07:53I looked up.
07:54Marcus?
07:55You...
07:56Why are you still here?
07:57He just looked at me.
07:59Dead serious.
08:00I've been thinking.
08:02There's something more important we need to take care of first.
08:04Like what?
08:05He took the suitcase from my hand,
08:07put it in the trunk,
08:08and opened the car door.
08:15Going to the courthouse to make it legal.
08:17I froze where I stood.
08:18That wedding back there,
08:19I just wanted someone to save face for me,
08:21out of pure spite.
08:22I hadn't thought about tying the rest of my life
08:25to a stranger I'd known for less than an hour.
08:27What?
08:28Having second thoughts?
08:29He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
08:30No!
08:31I just didn't expect it to happen this fast.
08:33I don't like wasting time.
08:35He said it so calmly,
08:36and somehow,
08:37I couldn't say no.
08:39I got in the car.
08:40Once we were driving,
08:42it finally hit me,
08:43and I started to panic.
08:44I snuck a look at him,
08:45nice suit.
08:46But the car,
08:46an old beater that had clearly been driven four years,
08:49in this much of a rush to get married.
08:51Either he's broke,
08:52or there's something wrong with him,
08:54physically.
08:54My eyes drifted down,
08:56toward his pants.
08:57His hands paused on the wheel,
08:58and the car jerked.
09:00What are you thinking about?
09:01Nothing!
09:02I waved my hands fast.
09:03He went quiet for a couple seconds,
09:05then said,
09:06Open the glove box in front of you.
09:08Dazed,
09:08I did it.
09:09Inside was a stack of papers,
09:11folded up neat and tidy.
09:13Take them out.
09:13Look.
09:14I pulled them out.
09:15A medical report.
09:17A full physical.
09:18Every single line said normal.
09:20My face went up in flames.
09:22He stopped at a red light,
09:24and turned to give me a little smile.
09:26If you still don't believe me,
09:28you're welcome to check for yourself.
09:29That line put certain images in my head,
09:32and my face went even redder.
09:35No, no, no!
09:36I believe you!
09:37I believe you!
09:38He let out a low laugh.
09:44At the courthouse,
09:46it went so fast it didn't feel real.
09:48Fingerprints,
09:49signatures,
09:50and just like that to marriage certificates in hand.
09:54Marcus Fitzgerald,
09:55I read the name off the certificate,
09:57so you're 27?
09:58Mm-hmm.
09:59What, too old for you?
10:00He chuckled.
10:00I shook my head,
10:02blushing.
10:03Five years older than me.
10:04Perfect.
10:05Oh, right.
10:06He said,
10:07looking down at me,
10:08serious.
10:09There's something I should tell you up front.
10:10I looked up.
10:13I have a son.
10:14He's six.
10:26You're there, don't cry.
10:28Then she turned and glared at me.
10:30Abigail, what did you do to Caroline this time?
10:32I just stood there.
10:33I couldn't get a single word out.
10:35What did I do?
10:36She stole my family.
10:38She stole my fiancé.
10:40But the second she cries,
10:42I'm the villain.
10:42I straightened my back
10:44and looked around at all of them.
10:45Do you want to know
10:46why she really skipped my wedding today?
10:47My mom pointed at me.
10:49Caroline wasn't feeling well.
10:51What are you implying?
10:52She's this sick?
10:53Can't you cut your own sister some slack?
10:57Sick?
10:58I let out a cold laugh,
11:00walked into the living room,
11:01pulled out a thick stack of papers,
11:03and slammed it down on the table.
11:07See for yourselves.
11:09Show me where exactly she's sick.
11:11My mom hesitated,
11:12then opened it.
11:13One page,
11:15another page,
11:16and another.
11:17Her face went from confused to shocked.
11:19It was every medical report Caroline had
11:22from the past few years,
11:23and every single one said healthy,
11:25nothing abnormal.
11:26She was never sick.
11:27She'd been faking it for three whole years.
11:30Caroline's face frozen.
11:32She stammered.
11:33Mom,
11:35it's not like that.
11:36I,
11:36enough!
11:37I cut her off.
11:38I don't want to hear another excuse
11:39from any of you.
11:40From today on,
11:42this family,
11:43all of you,
11:44I'm done.
11:45We're nothing to each other.
11:46My mom's head snapped up.
11:48What's that supposed to mean?
11:50I announced it loud and clear.
11:52I got married,
11:53just now,
11:54at that wedding.
11:55The living room went dead silent.
11:57Felix was the first to snap out of it.
11:59He charged forward,
12:01furious.
12:01What did you say?
12:03Who did you marry?
12:14My fiance cheated on me.
12:16Two minutes before the wedding started,
12:18I got a text.
12:19Guess who's in my bed right now?
12:21My hands shook as I opened the video he sent,
12:23along with it.
12:26It was my fiance,
12:28Felix,
12:29and my maid of honor,
12:31Caroline.
12:31The two of them,
12:33going at it in my wedding suite.
12:35That bed under Caroline?
12:36I flew to Europe to pick it out myself.
12:38I was so stunned,
12:39I almost dropped my phone.
12:42Videos can be fake these days.
12:44Don't believe it.
12:45Felix loves you so much.
12:47My makeup artist handed me a tissue.
12:50Right.
12:50He loved me for three years.
12:52He held my hand and swore he'd take care of me for life.
12:55It has to be fake.
12:57I called Felix right away.
12:59Where are you?
13:00The wedding's about to start.
13:03Easy, babe.
13:04I'm busy with something else.
13:06What could be more important than our wedding?
13:11There was a pause.
13:12And then I heard it.
13:13A soft moan.
13:14My best friend's moan.
13:16My heart went colder.
13:17Stop messing around.
13:18Cancel the wedding for now.
13:19And go tell everyone yourself.
13:22He hung up on me.
13:24I couldn't help it.
13:25I cried.
13:25I dialed another number.
13:32Dad, are you and mom almost here?
13:34Honey, Caroline isn't feeling well.
13:36Your mom and I might not make it.

13:57And grabbed the mic from the host.
14:05Everyone's so sorry.
14:06The groom's busy sleeping with my maid of honor.
14:08So he can't make it.
14:09So, is there anyone here willing to marry me today?
14:13Dead silence.
14:14Nobody stood up.
14:15Like they were all just waiting to watch me crash and burn.
14:19Just when I thought today was going to be a total disaster.
14:22I'll marry you.
14:23A tall, handsome man stood up in the crowd.
14:26Black suit.
14:29Standing straighter than anyone in the room.
14:31The whole place exploded.
14:34Who is that?
14:35Never seen him.
14:36He's not one of us.
14:37He didn't seem to notice the stairs.
14:39He just walked toward me, step by step.
14:42And stopped right in front of me.
14:43A new groom?
14:44Are you serious about this?
14:46I don't joke about marriage.
14:48I looked him dead in the eye.
14:49What's your name?
14:50Marcus Fitzgerald.
14:52Fitzgerald?
14:53Wait, the same last name as Felix?
14:55I got a little nervous.
14:56Felix?
14:57How are you two related?
14:59We're not close.
15:00I'm sort of his distant uncle.
15:02I let out a breath.
15:03Okay.
15:04Good.
15:05Afraid he'd back out.
15:06I quickly grabbed the men's ring and slid it onto his finger.
15:11Then I handed him mine.
15:14Without hesitating, he leaned down and put it on me.
15:18Everyone froze, staring at us like they couldn't believe it.
15:20I took his arm, turned to face the whole room, and announced it with a smile.
15:24Thank you all for coming today.
15:25I'm making it official.
15:27From this day on, I am Mrs. Fitzgerald.
15:30And I have nothing to do with the Winchester family ever again.
15:35After the wedding, I went back to the Winchester house to pack my things.
15:38As I cut through the garden, I heard moaning coming from behind the trellis.
15:42My eyes went wide.
15:43I followed the sound.
15:44On the swing, Caroline had her arms around Felix's neck.
15:47They were kissing.
15:48Flower petals all over them.
15:50The second he saw me, Felix shoved Caroline away.
15:52Abigail, what are you doing back here?
15:54Felix scrambled to his feet, his shirt still unbuttoned.
15:57But Caroline didn't get up.
15:59She stayed on the swing, covering her face, her shoulders shaking as she cried.
16:04Abigail, I'm sorry.
16:05It's all my fault.
16:06I shouldn't have gotten sick and ruined your wedding.
16:09She cried loud.
16:10Loud enough for the whole house to hear.
16:12Sure enough, my mom came hurrying out of the house.
16:15She took one look at me in the garden, then immediately pulled Caroline into her arms.
16:19There, there, don't cry.
16:21Then she turned and glared at me.
16:23Abigail, what did you do to Caroline this time?
16:25I just stood there.
16:26I couldn't get a single word out.

16:51I let out a cold laugh, walked into the living room, pulled out a thick stack of papers and slammed

17:23Caroline's face frozen.
17:24She stammered.
17:26Mom, it's not like that.
17:28I...
17:29Enough!
17:29I cut her off.
17:30I don't want to hear another excuse from any of you.
17:33From today on, this family, all of you, I'm done.
17:38We're nothing to each other.
17:39My mom's head snapped up.
17:41What's that supposed to mean?
17:42I announced it loud and clear.
17:44I got married.
17:45Just now.
17:46At that wedding.
17:48The living room went dead silent.
17:50Felix was the first to snap out of it.
17:52He charged forward, furious.
17:54What did you say?
17:55Who did you marry?
17:58I ignored Felix, grabbed my suitcase, and headed for the door.
18:02Abigail!
18:02Don't make a joke out of something like marriage!
18:05He roared behind me.
18:06I didn't even turn around.
18:08A joke?
18:09I have never been more serious in my life.
18:11I dragged my suitcase out the front gate, tears blurring my eyes, not even wiping them
18:16until I walked right into a telephone pole.
18:18A hand grabbed my arm and yanked me back.
18:20I looked up.
18:21Marcus?
18:22You...
18:23Why are you still here?
18:24He just looked at me.
18:26Dead serious.
18:27I've been thinking.
18:29There's something more important we need to take care of first.
18:31Like what?
18:32He took the suitcase from my hand, put it in the trunk, and opened the car door.
18:42Going to the courthouse to make it legal.
18:44I froze where I stood.
18:45That wedding back there, I just wanted someone to save face for me, out of pure spite.
18:50I hadn't thought about tying the rest of my life to a stranger I'd known for less than an hour.
18:54What?
18:55Having second thoughts?
18:56He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
18:57No!
18:58I just didn't expect it to happen this fast.
19:00I don't like wasting time.
19:01He said it so calmly, and somehow, I couldn't say no.
19:05I got in the car.
19:07Once we were driving, it finally hit me, and I started to panic.
19:11I snuck a look at him.
19:12Nice suit.
19:13But the car.
19:13An old beater that had clearly been driven for years, in this much of a rush to get married.
19:18Either he's broke, or there's something wrong with him, physically.
19:21My eyes drifted down, toward his pants.
19:24His hands paused on the wheel, and the car jerked.
19:27What are you thinking about?
19:28Nothing!
19:29I waved my hands fast.
19:30He went quiet for a couple seconds, then said,
19:33Open the glove box in front of you.
19:35Dazed, I did it.
19:36Inside was a stack of papers, folded up neat and tidy.
19:40Take them out.
19:40Look.
19:41I pulled them out.
19:42A medical report.
19:44A full physical.
19:45Every single line said normal.
19:47My face went up in flames.
19:49He stopped at a red light, and turned to give me a little smile.
19:53If you still don't believe me, you're welcome to check for yourself.
19:56That line put certain images in my head, and my face went even redder.
20:02No, no, no, I believe you! I believe you!
20:05He let out a low laugh.
20:11At the courthouse, it went so fast it didn't feel real.
20:15Fingerprints, signatures, and just like that to marriage certificates in hand.
20:21Marcus Fitzgerald, I read the name off the certificate, so you're 27?
20:25Mm-hmm. What, too old for you?
20:27He chuckled.
20:27I shook my head, blushing.
20:30Five years older than me. Perfect.
20:32Oh, right.
20:33He said, looking down at me, serious.
20:36There's something I should tell you up front.
20:37I looked up.
20:39I have a son.
20:41He's six.
20:43There's something I should tell you.
21:00I'm going to go back.
21:03I'm going to go back.
21:10I'm going to go back.
21:11I'm going to go back.
21:12I'm going to go back.
21:12them. Do you want to know why she really skipped my wedding today? My mom pointed at me. Caroline
21:17wasn't feeling well. What are you implying? She's this sick? Can't you cut your own sister some
21:22slack? Sick? I let out a cold laugh, walked into the living room, pulled out a thick stack of papers
21:30and slammed it down on the table. See for yourselves. Show me where exactly she's sick.
21:37My mom hesitated, then opened it. One page, another page, and another. Her face went from confused to
21:46shocked. It was every medical report Caroline had from the past few years, and every single one said
21:51healthy, nothing abnormal. She was never sick. She'd been faking it for three whole years. Caroline's
21:58face frozen. She stammered. Mom, it's not like that. I- enough! I cut her off. I don't want to
22:05hear
22:05another excuse from any of you. From today on, this family, all of you, I'm done. We're nothing to
22:13each other. My mom's head snapped up. What's that supposed to mean? I announced it loud and clear.
22:19I got married. Just now, at that wedding. The living room went dead silent. Felix was the first to snap
22:26out of it. He charged forward, furious. What did you say? Who did you marry?
22:41My fiancé cheated on me. Two minutes before the wedding started, I got a text. Guess who's in my bed
22:47right now? My hands shook as I opened the video he sent, along with it. It was my fiancé, Felix,
22:56and my maid of honor, Caroline. The two of them, going at it in my wedding suite. That bed under
23:02Caroline? I flew to Europe to pick it out myself. I was so stunned I almost dropped my phone.
23:09Videos can be fake these days. Don't believe it. Felix loves you so much. My makeup artist handed me a
23:16tissue. Right. He loved me for three years. He held my hand and swore he'd take care of me for
23:21life. It has to be fake. I called Felix right away. Where are you? The wedding's about to start.
23:30Easy, babe. I'm busy with something else. What could be more important than our wedding?
23:38There was a pause, and then I heard it. A soft moan. My best friends moan. My heart went colder.
23:44Stop messing around. Cancel the wedding for now, and go tell everyone yourself.
23:49He hung up on me. I couldn't help it. I cried. I dialed another number.
23:59Dad, are you and mom almost here?
24:01Honey, Caroline isn't feeling well. Your mom and I might not make it.
24:05Three days ago, they'd just found out the truth. Caroline is the real Winchester daughter.
24:10I'm the one they took home by mistake. So everyone had chosen her.
24:16I had no time to fall apart. I wiped my tears, lifted my dress, walked up onto the stage step
24:23by step, and grabbed the mic from the host.
24:32Everyone's so sorry. The groom's busy sleeping with my maid of honor, so he can't make it.
24:36So, is there anyone here willing to marry me today?
24:40Dead silence. Nobody stood up. Like they were all just waiting to watch me crash and burn.
24:46Just when I thought today was going to be a total disaster,
24:49I'll marry you.
24:50A tall, handsome man stood up in the crowd. Black suit. Standing straighter than anyone
24:57in the room. The whole place exploded. Who is that? Never seen him. He's not one of us.
25:04He didn't seem to notice the stairs. He just walked toward me, step by step, and stopped
25:09right in front of me. A new groom? Are you serious about this?
25:13I don't joke about marriage. I looked him dead in the eye. What's your name?
25:17Marcus Fitzgerald.
25:19Fitzgerald? Wait, the same last name as Felix? I got a little nervous. Felix? How are you two
25:25related?
25:26We're not close. I'm sort of his distant uncle.
25:29I let out a breath. Okay. Good. Afraid he'd back out. I quickly grabbed the men's ring and
25:35slid it onto his finger. Then I handed him mine. Without hesitating, he leaned down and put it on me.
25:44Everyone froze, staring at us like they couldn't believe it. I took his arm.
25:48Turned to face the whole room and announced it with a smile. Thank you all for coming today.
25:52I'm making it official. From this day on, I am Mrs. Fitzgerald. And I have nothing to do with the
25:59Winchester family ever again. After the wedding, I went back to the Winchester house to pack my things.
26:05As I cut through the garden, I heard moaning coming from behind the trellis. My eyes went wide. I followed
26:10the sound. On the swing, Caroline had her arms around Felix's neck. They were kissing. Flower
26:15petals all over them. The second he saw me, Felix shoved Caroline away. Abigail, what are you doing
26:20back here? Felix scrambled to his feet, his shirt still unbuttoned. But Caroline didn't get up. She
26:26stayed on the swing, covering her face, her shoulders shaking as she cried. Abigail, I'm sorry. It's all my
26:33fault. I shouldn't have gotten sick and ruined your wedding. She cried loud. Loud enough for the whole
26:38house to hear. Sure enough, my mom came hurrying out of the house. She took one look at me in
26:43the
26:43garden, then immediately pulled Caroline into her arms. There, there, don't cry. Then she turned and
26:49glared at me. Abigail, what did you do to Caroline this time? I just stood there. I couldn't get a
26:54single word out. What did I do? She stole my family. She stole my fiancé. But the second she cries,
27:01I'm the villain. I straightened my back and looked around at all of them. Do you want to know why
27:06she
27:06really skipped my wedding today? My mom pointed at me. Caroline wasn't feeling well. What are you
27:11implying? She's this sick? Can't you cut your own sister some slack? Sick? I let out a cold laugh,
27:20walked into the living room, pulled out a thick stack of papers and slammed it down on the table.
27:27See for yourselves. Show me where exactly she's sick. My mom hesitated, then opened it. One page,
27:34another page, another page, and another. Her face went from confused to shocked. It was every medical
27:40report Caroline had from the past few years, and every single one said healthy, nothing abnormal.
27:46She was never sick. She'd been faking it for three whole years. Caroline's face frozen. She stammered.
27:52Mom, it's not like that. I- Enough! I cut her off. I don't want to hear another excuse from
27:59any of you.
27:59From today on, this family, all of you, I'm done. We're nothing to each other. My mom's head snapped
28:07up. What's that supposed to mean? I announced it loud and clear. I got married. Just now. At that
28:14wedding. The living room went dead silent. Felix was the first to snap out of it. He charged forward,
28:20furious. What did you say? Who did you marry? I ignored Felix, grabbed my suitcase, and headed for the door.
28:28Abigail! Don't make a joke out of something like marriage! He roared behind me. I didn't even turn
28:34around. A joke? I have never been more serious in my life. I dragged my suitcase out the front gate,
28:41tears blurring my eyes, not even wiping them, until I walked right into a telephone pole.
28:45A hand grabbed my arm and yanked me back. I looked up. Marcus?
28:49You- Why are you still here? He just looked at me, dead serious.
28:53I've been thinking. There's something more important we need to take care of first.
28:58Like what? He took the suitcase from my hand, put it in the trunk, and opened the car door.
29:09Going to the courthouse to make it legal.
29:11I froze where I stood. That wedding back there, I just wanted someone to save face for me,

30:58Perfect. Perfect. Oh, right. He said, looking down at me, serious. There's something I should
31:04tell you up front. I looked up. I have a son. He's six.
