01:00I was about to say, I do not want the visitation rights either.
01:05The indifference in his eyes did not change.
01:06He just looked at me for a moment.
01:08For four years, he and the child had been my entire life.
01:10Auntie Vivian.
01:11Even hearing the boy call Vivian too many times hurt me.
01:14Now, I was giving it all up without any fight.
01:17This was not like me.
01:18Faithless woman.
01:20You would abandon your own flesh and blood for some home repper now.
01:25What about the way you schemed to get into my bed and birth that child?
01:29What was it all for?
01:30I listened without any urge to defend myself at all.
01:33The first time he caught me in a hotel with another man, I was confused.
01:37I explained desperately that I had not betrayed him in any way.
01:39He had always believed I was loyal only to him alone.
01:42The man had already fled and left only a blurry back view on cameras.
01:45Carter chose to believe me that time, but he still took our son away from me after that.
01:49I could only see the boy once a month, at most.
01:51I had to book the visit with Vivian a week in advance.
01:54Vivian supervised every meeting from start to finish, without fail.
01:57I can't even hold him a little longer without checking her face.
02:00Every toy or piece of clothing I bought had to be approved by her first.
02:04Otherwise, it never reached him.
02:06The pressure broke me down completely.
02:07Then I got caught cheating for the second time.
02:09I had taken a job to fill my empty time with something.
02:12On a business trip, I ended up in a hotel room, somehow.
02:15When I woke, a fat, greasy man was lying next to me.
02:17He was drooling.
02:18I called the police right away.
02:20The officer checked, and said I had not been assaulted at all.
02:22The facts are right in front of him.
02:24But he still insists I just didn't have time to commit the crime.
02:28After that, I was not even allowed to attend parent meetings at kindergarten.
02:32Whenever the school needed something, Carter sent Vivian instead of me.
02:35He told me to stay home and stop embarrassing the family name.
02:39My boy pointed at me and called me a bad woman openly.
02:43Carter stood there and said nothing to stop him at all.
02:46Caught for the third time, I'm done with this game.
02:48I'll let them have their way.
02:50Yet he still asks why I don't even want my own kid.
02:53Carter, even though the agreement says she gives up custody completely,
02:57I have never seen a mother do this so easily.
03:01Given how many times she has stepped out, she probably planned this.
03:04A child would only complicate things for her in the future.
03:07Do not waste your breath trying to change her mind at all.
03:10She seems to forget that four years ago, she drafted that ridiculous contract.
03:14Just because she was the widow of Carter's top enforcer,
03:16Carter trusted her completely and spoiled her endlessly.
03:19The contract even listed exact numbers for infidelity in advance.
03:23Carter's expression darkened another degree.
03:25You better mean what you say.
03:26Don't come kneeling and begging me later.
03:27That would not happen, Carter.
03:29Four years ago, to convince myself to accept you, I visited every chapel.
03:33I prayed until my knees were raw from all the kneeling.
03:36The priests told me not to obsess over a mafia man like you,
03:39but I still held on to my hope for us back then.
03:41Then I traveled hundreds of miles away and knelt for a full day and night.
03:44Finally, a priest was moved by my devotion and blessed our marriage.
03:47I never expected that our marriage match would turn into this kind of hell.
03:51This time, my knees will not bend for anyone at all.
03:57Well, a steamy night like this is worth everything.
04:00We will not disturb you.
04:02The door closed and the room fell quiet again.
04:04All of a sudden, I looked down at the man still unconscious on the bed in front of me.
04:08Nausea rose in my stomach as I saw him lying there.
04:10I had woken up before him and could have left before they arrived.
04:13But I was tired of this cat and mouse game we had been playing.
04:16So I stayed and waited for them to come and catch me here.
04:18I put on my coat and walked out without looking back at all.
04:21The next evening, I returned to pack my things from the house.
04:24When I opened the master bedroom door, I found all my usual clothes gone.
04:27The maid stammered and was unable to meet my eyes at all.
04:30Ma'am.
04:32Your things were moved to the storage room earlier today.
04:35Miss Rossi said the master bedroom needs to be cleared for the new lady.
04:38I smiled at her words, even though it hurt me inside.
04:41Four years of marriage, and I did not even deserve a proper goodbye.
04:44I turned and headed to the storage room in the back of the house.
04:48I pushed the door open and saw boxes stacked on top of other boxes.
04:52Bags were piled on top of other bags all over the floor.
04:55I crouched down and started searching through everything in the room.
04:58Nothing else mattered to me.
04:59I had to find my mother's vintage cameo locket right now.
05:03My grandmother had given it to my mother many years ago.
05:05My mother had given it to me as a special family heirloom.
05:08It was the only thing in this house that truly belonged to me.
05:11I finally found it at the bottom of one of the boxes there.
05:13I closed my fist around it and let out a long breath of relief.
05:18I was just about to grab a few clothes and take them with me.
05:22What are you doing here?
05:24I turned and saw Leo's small figure blocking the entrance completely.
05:28He looked so much like his father in many ways,
05:30but that superior posture was pure Vivian in every single way.
05:36Getting my things.
05:37Normally I would have gone to him and hugged and kissed him,
05:40even if he acted cold toward me.
05:42This time I stayed calm.
05:44Those are not your things.
05:48Auntie Vivian said everything in this house belongs to dad only.
05:53You cannot take any of it.
05:55I paused what I was doing and looked up at him.
06:00This is mine.
06:02You spend dad's money.
06:04Dad's money belongs to the family and not to outsiders like you.
06:09Outsider, I thought as I looked up at him now.
06:11A four-year-old boy stood in front of me like I was a thief.
06:14The coldness in his eyes was even stronger than his father's eyes.
06:20I will only take this one thing.
06:22I do not want anything else.
06:24No!
06:27You cannot steal from the Moretti family.
06:30Leo, move.
06:32No!
06:34You are a beggar and a thief!
06:37Auntie Vivian said once you leave,
06:39you cannot come back here ever again.
06:41If you come back, it is only to steal from us.
06:44I am telling you one last time to move out of my way now.
06:50I will not!
06:51Put it down!
07:00I stood frozen in place as I saw it break into pieces.
07:04I remembered the day my mother put the locket on me for the first time.
07:08This had been in our family for six generations now.
07:11It would go to your daughter one day when you had one.
07:14If you had no daughter, it would go to your son's wife instead.
07:18I had no daughter.
07:19And I had no daughter-in-law either.
07:20I only had this locket as my only family heirloom now.
07:24It had been passed down for generations in my family.
07:26Now it lay broken because my own son had torn it from me.
07:30You should have let go of it.
07:34I told you this was from your grandmother.
07:37Do you even know why your grandmother is lying in that medical facility?
07:42I do not know any grandmother.
07:44All I know is some old woman who burns through money all the time.
07:50Auntie Vivian said she stays in that expensive room and costs dad so much.
07:54She still cannot be cured and is just burning money every day.
07:58Say that again.
08:02She is just an old woman burning through our cat.
08:08Dad, dad.
08:12I looked at my son kicking and screaming on the ground.
08:15The words echoed in my ears again and again.
08:18That old woman burning money was my mother and his grandmother.
08:22She was the woman who dragged her broken body after surgery.
08:25She sewed him a little jacket by hand when he was a newborn baby.
08:28She was the woman who called every year on his birthday from the nursing home.
08:32She had the nurse say, happy birthday Leo, to him every year.
08:35But he called her a drain on the money without any care.
08:38The sharp edges of the broken locket cut into my palm deeply.
08:42The pain cleared my head a little bit at that moment.
08:51Leo, what happened?
08:55Dad, she pushed me.
08:57Get her out of here now.
08:58I want Auntie Vivian.
09:02Have you lost your mind completely?
09:05You hit your own child.
09:06I did not hit him.
09:16I was just telling the truth.
09:19Auntie Viviana said that old woman is burning dad's money every day.
09:25You are arguing with a child.
09:27Vivian is only trying to help.
09:29Manage the family finances here.
09:31She was speaking from a practical standpoint.
09:34And nothing more.
09:35The boy overheard it.
09:36And you should not make it bigger than it is.
09:38She works so hard.
09:41For this family every single day.
09:44You know that very well.
09:51I brought Leo over today on purpose so the two of you could talk.
09:55But about that thing, do not tell him yet.
09:58It might affect him badly.
09:59I knew he meant divorce when he said those words.
10:02I did not answer him at all.
10:04In four years of marriage, he and my child spent far more time with Vivian.
10:09The time with me did not even add up to half the time with her.
10:13Back in college, he had been the one who pursued me relentlessly.
10:16He made me fall for him.
10:18Step by step, over time.
10:20I had visited every chapel, begging for any sign that our worlds could work.
10:26Even without that accidental pregnancy back then, I had already made my choice.
10:30I dropped my bias against the mafia and chose to be with him.
10:35Looking back now, maybe it was better I never chose him.
10:39My mother was still in that medical facility, waiting for me to visit her.
10:44Thinking of all this, I picked up my bag and walked out of the storage room.
10:48In the living room, Vivian was crouched in front of Leo.
10:52She was speaking softly to comfort him.
10:54I walked past them with a blank face.
10:57Why will that bad woman not talk to me?
11:01He was used to me rushing over with red eyes to soothe him.
11:05He was used to me saying,
11:07Leo, do not be angry.
11:08Mommy was wrong.
11:10So when I did not even look at him, he felt attacked by it.
11:14Carter did not speak.
11:15But I could feel his cold gaze on my back.
11:18I did not stop.
11:19I was about to open the door when Carter finally exploded.
11:24Stop!
11:26Come here and apologize to Leo.
11:30You pushed him and you scared him a lot just now.
11:32I hesitated for a moment.
11:34This might be the last time I saw them in this house.
11:37I had no strength left to argue about anything anymore.
11:41I am sorry.
11:43Mommy should not have pushed you.
11:48Dirty woman!
11:49You deserve it!
11:51You're cheating around.
11:53Even the kid can't stand-stand watching it anymore.
11:57I cheat around?
11:58These three staged infidelities have been arranged so sloppily by someone.
12:03Did he really not see the cracks in their plan at all?
12:06Maybe he did see it.
12:07But he just did not want to expose it.
12:10If he wanted to believe it, then that was fine with me.
12:14Four years of marriage and you have been with her every day for four years.
12:19You even send my child to her house to be raised by her.
12:22We are getting divorced now, so can you stop lying to yourself?
12:27Clara, how can you slander me like this?
12:30Don Carter, I-
12:31Four years have passed and have you not made enough trouble yet?
12:34Fine.
12:35Since you think I have been cheating with her all along,
12:37I will show you what real cheating looks like.
12:40He had the nan you take Leo away from the room immediately.
12:42Then he grabbed my wrist and dragged me into the bedroom.
12:45The door slammed shut behind us with a loud noise.
12:47Do you want it?
12:48I have waited so long for this moment, Carter.
12:54Carter, we are already divorcing and you can do this anytime you want.
12:57Humiliate you.
12:59Do you think you have value that could be humiliated by me?
13:02Do not get distracted, Carter.
13:04I closed my eyes and let the tears fall silently down my face until my phone started vibrating loudly.
13:10It was my mother's number.
13:11I struggled to reach it and answered the call right away.
13:14Mrs. Moretti, please come to the hospital right away.
13:16Your mother heard about the divorce and thinks she is a burden on you.
13:19She has climbed up to the rooftop now.
13:21What?
13:21She said,
13:24Carter, my mother is in trouble and you must let me go now.
13:27Please let me go.
13:29Did you not just accuse us of being guilty earlier?
13:32I let you watch the whole thing and now you want to run off with some excuse you made up?
13:37I did not make it up.
13:38The hospital called me.
13:40My mother knows we are divorcing and she cannot take it anymore.
13:44Enough.
13:45You just signed the divorce papers, so how would your mother even know?
13:47You told her even though you knew she could not handle the shock.
13:50Whose fault is that?
13:51Carter, I never told her about the divorce at all.
13:53Just let me go over there because there is still time to stop her.
13:56My mother got hit by that truck while saving you and our son.
13:58Please do not joke with her life like this.
14:01Clara, is your mother your hostage now in this situation?
14:05Every time you get caught cheating, you use the fact that our son is still young to beg for forgiveness.
14:09Or use how your mom saved us to play the sympathy card.
14:11I did not.
14:13It is real.
14:15Please.
14:17Carter, everyone knows your mother-in-law only threw herself in front.
14:21She did it because of her grandson, not for you alone.
14:24If it had been only you, she wouldn't have done it so selflessly.
14:27You have already done more than enough for her.
14:30Come here.
14:31Do not ruin the mood.
14:32Any last hesitation in his eyes disappeared completely at that point.
14:36I stopped hoping he would suddenly grow a conscience.
14:38I threw myself toward the door with all my strength.
14:41My head slammed into the door panel and split open from the impact.
14:45He strode over, grabbed me, then threw me to the ground.
14:48You will watch it whether you like it or not.
14:54Listen carefully to it, how cheating we really are.
14:57The last sliver of the light vanished from my head completely.
15:00In the darkness, I heard them continue what they were doing.
15:03I did it again and again, without any care for me.
15:07The next day, Carter came back from a meeting in the evening.
15:09He stood in the living room for a moment, trying to collect himself.
15:12He rubbed his temples and called out to me by habit.
15:15Clara, my head hurts.
15:16You need to make me some hangover soup.
15:17No one answered his call in the quiet house.
15:19He frowned and turned to the maid standing nearby.
15:22Where is my wife?
15:24Sir, I was just about to ask you where Mrs. Morelli is right now.
15:28This morning, the young master had a fever and kept calling for his mother.
15:33It reached 39 degrees and we were very worried.
15:36And the hospital called last night about your wife's mother.
15:39She jumped from the building and her body is still at the hospital.
15:42No one has claimed it yet and we do not know what to do.
15:45What did you say?
15:46You did not let her out of the closet, did you?
15:49Let her out of what?
15:49He turned and ran upstairs, his steps getting faster and faster.
15:52The moment he pulled open the closet door, he stopped dead in his tracks.
15:57The torn tie was there and the ripped tape lay on the floor.
16:01Dried blood stained the closet wall from my head injury.
16:04But the closet itself was empty.
16:06There was no one inside at all.
16:08Quite the performance.
16:10Mother and daughter working together on this pity act for money.
16:14He took out his phone and called Clara right away.
16:18The line was off.
16:19She did not answer his call.
16:20The maid looked as though she wanted to say something.
16:22Watch Leo for me.
16:23I want to see what those two are up to.
16:25But she stopped herself.
16:26At the hospital morgue, several nurses saw Carter arrive.
16:29They recognized him as my husband and their expressions changed immediately.
16:33Are you Mrs. Morelli's husband?
16:36Where is your wife?
16:39Carter frowned as a bad feeling rose in his chest.
16:44My wife didn't come here?
16:49No.
16:51If she had come, her mother wouldn't be dead right now.
16:55Last night, the old lady stood on the hospital rooftop for half an hour.
17:00We talked her down and told her to see her daughter and grandson.
17:03She finally hesitated after we spoke to her for a long time.
17:07But we called Mrs. Morelli's phone again and again, without any success.
17:11Last night, when he had thrown her into the closet in a rage, her phone had been thrown aside.
17:16It was not with her.
17:17The old lady heard her daughter was getting divorced.
17:20She felt like she was dragging her daughter down with her problems.
17:23So she jumped from that height without any warning.
17:28She had a daughter who wouldn't even come to see her in the end.
17:32Does she have a conscience?
17:34Carter said nothing in response to her words.
17:37He wanted to explain everything that had happened last night.
17:40She had been locked in the closet, with her mouth taped shut.
17:43Her phone had been thrown aside, and she could not reach it.
17:45She had heard everything, and had begged him to let her go.
17:48But he had not believed her at all, and had kept her locked up.
17:51The words stuck in his throat.
17:53He could not see them.
17:54The body needs to be handled.
17:55The hospital can't keep it forever.
17:58You're her husband.
17:59You should take care of the paperwork first.
18:00And please tell your wife that when her mother was dying, she kept saying,
18:04Don't blame my daughter.
18:05She said it was mom who held her back.
18:08Even at the end, she was still protecting her daughter.
18:15Who told her we were getting divorced?
18:17The divorce papers aren't even signed yet.
18:20We don't know how she found out about the divorce.
18:23Your wife hasn't been to the hospital in the last few days.
18:27But a woman named Rossi came by earlier this week.
18:33Vivian had come to the hospital, and talked to his mother-in-law.
18:36That explained the strange feeling he had been having.
18:39Clara had always only told her mother the good news, never the bad.
18:42She would never have called to tell her about the divorce.
18:44He suddenly remembered Clara's desperate cry from last night.
18:49My mother saved you and our son by throwing herself in front of that truck!
18:53It had been three years ago, on Mother's Day.
18:55He had been carrying Leo on the street at that time.
18:58A truck had lost control and barrowed toward them without warning.
19:01Clara's mother rushed out and pushed them out of the way.
19:04She had been thrown instead, and suffered severe injuries.
19:07Six steel rods had been put in her leg after the accident.
19:10She had walked with a limp ever since, and needed long-term care.
19:14For the rest of my life, I'll take care of you.
19:16At first, he visited sometimes to check on her.
19:20But later, he had forgotten that promise he made to her.
19:22He had even stopped letting the child visit his grandmother.
19:25He said he was afraid Leo would catch something from the hospital.
19:29Back at the house, the lights were on in the living room.
19:32Leo had a fever patch on his forehead, and his face was flushed.
19:35He jumped off the sofa and ran to Carter with open arms.
19:38Dad, where is Mom?
19:40Mom, why did Mom not come back home?
19:49Mom had something to do.
19:51I do not want that.
19:52I am sick, and I want Mom.
19:54Whenever I got sick, Mom stayed with me.
19:57She told me stories and fed me medicine.
19:59She held me the whole time until I felt better.
20:04Bad woman, why is she not come back home to me?
20:12Mom, I want Mom.
20:14Carter froze as he heard his son's words.
20:16He realized that the words bad woman and mom referred to the same person.
20:21In the past, whenever Leo got sick, Clara had done everything possible.
20:25She had been there to take care of him herself no matter what.
20:29She would stay up all night watching over him with care.
20:32She treasured every moment with the child and prayed for him to get better.
20:35Over time, Leo had learned the pattern of who to go to.
20:38When he wanted good food or fun things, he went to Auntie Vivian.
20:43When he was sick or scared or had nightmares, he went to Mom.
20:49But now, Mom was gone, and he did not understand why.
20:54Carter picked Leo up and soothed him a little bit.
20:59Then he handed him to the maid to take care of.
21:03He went to his study and closed the door behind him.
21:10His eyes fell on the divorce papers she had already signed.
21:14His signature line was still blank and waiting for him.
21:17He had never planned to sign them at all.
21:19Even when she had signed so readily, he had felt a tightness in his chest.
21:22Why was she so decisive about leaving everything behind?
21:25She was the one who had cheated and betrayed him.
21:27Why was she calmer than him in this whole situation?
21:29She should have been on her knees, begging him not to divorce her.
21:32The first two times, she had done exist without fail.
21:34Why was this time so different from the others?
21:36She had said she was leaving, and she did not even want the child.
21:41Now, she would not even come back to claim her mother's body.
21:44She had walked away so lightly from everything.
21:46As if these four years, she had taken nothing and wanted nothing more.
21:51He stared at her signature, Clara Vance, on the paper.
21:54It suddenly felt like it burned his eyes to look at it.
21:57He opened their chat and typed a heavy message to her.
22:00I handled your mother's arrangements.
22:02Leo has a fever, and he has been calling for you.
22:05The study was quiet, except for the ticking of the wall clock.
22:08Then the maid suddenly shouted from outside the study door.
22:11Sir, it is bad.
22:12The young master is having convulsions from the fever.
22:16Carter shot to his feet and ran into Leo's room.
22:21Leo lay in bed, with his face burning red from the fever.
22:25He was mumbling nonsense in his delirium about his mother.
22:28Mom, mom, don't go.
22:31Carter scooped his son into his arms and ran downstairs quickly.
22:36On the way to the hospital, Leo curled against his chest.
22:38He kept whispering in his fever dream without waking up.
22:41Auntie Vivia said mom is a bad woman.
22:46She told me to pull that tube out of the old woman.
22:52She said if I pulled the tube, the old woman would die, and then mom would leave and never come
22:58back home.
23:00Grandma is not an old woman.
23:02Grandma sewed me a little jacket.
23:05Mom, I was wrong.
23:09Please do not leave me alone.
23:14Pull the tube?
23:16He thought as he remembered the incident.
23:19There had been a time when his mother-in-law was in emergency care.
23:22Someone had pulled her oxygen tube, and she had almost died.
23:26Clara had cried like her world was ending at that time.
23:29He had finally agreed to let Leo stay with her for a while.
23:32But not long after that, the third staged infidelity had happened.
23:38This child.
23:39She had suddenly given up on him completely.
23:42Even yesterday when the boy had spat on her, she had not reacted much.
23:47Spit?
23:47He had not realized when his son had become like this.
23:50Doing things like that, so casually, without any thought.
23:54Carter leaned against the corridor wall, with his fingers still shaking.
23:58He took out his phone and stared at the message he had sent.
24:00He realized that even Leo's fever could not bring her back now.
24:05Nothing could bring her back to them at this point.
24:07The corridor was quiet, as he closed his eyes for a moment.
24:11All he could see was Clara crying and begging him for help.
24:14The first set-up.
24:15The second set-up.
24:17And when her mother was in danger.
24:24Carter, how's Leo doing?
24:26Suddenly, she felt like a stranger to him at that moment.
24:28Vivian had grown up in the Moretti household from a young age.
24:32Her father used to be one of Carter's most trusted subordinates in the family.
24:36He died in a gunfight many years ago to shield Carter from bullets.
24:40Carter felt so guilty that he took Vivian into the family home to live.
24:43He had thought she was loyal and always put the family first.
24:47But the things his son had said while burning with fever.
24:50They were like needles stabbing into his brain, over and over.
24:54How have you been teaching my son?
24:59I am asking how you have been teaching Leo.
25:04Old woman.
25:06Burning money.
25:07Pull the tube and bad woman.
25:08Did you put those words in his head?
25:10He asked her.
25:11Vivian's face went white and her lips trembled as she answered.
25:15Carter, I did not.
25:16I was only speaking from a rational perspective.
25:21Rational?
25:24Teaching a child who is not even four years old about rational thinking?
25:28Is spitting on his own mother really rational to you?
25:34Please, listen to me explain.
25:37Get out.
25:40Last night was a mistake on my part.
25:42I will give you a sum of money to make up for it.
25:45From now on, do not show your face in front of me again.
25:48She had waited so many years for this chance.
25:52She had finally gotten her chance to climb into his bed.
25:56And this was the result she got in the end.
26:00But this was not the time to argue with him about it.
26:04Carter leaned back against the wall to collect himself.
26:08He had been angry at Clara's words at the time of the incident.
26:11He had indulged Vivian in many ways over the years.
26:15But nothing had actually happened between them in reality.
26:18If it had not been for last night,
26:20he would not have known how forward Vivian really was.
26:24Thinking of that, he called one of his men right away.
26:27Look into the reasons why Clara ended up in those hotel rooms.
26:31Look into last January,
26:33last month on the 8th,
26:34and a few days ago.
26:36And find out who those three men were
26:38in each case.
26:41He had handed all those investigations
26:43to Vivian before this.
26:44But if Vivian had her own agenda,
26:47then things made sense now.
26:49He quickly opened his chat with Clara
26:51and typed a message.
26:52Clara, I am sorry.
26:55He stared at the screen for one minute,
26:57then five, then ten.
26:59Her silence made his chest tighten with anxiety and fear.
27:02He sent another message to her
27:04without waiting any longer.
27:05Leo has been calling your name.
27:07Could you come back and see him?
27:09Then he slowly slid down to the floor in the corridor.
27:12He buried his face in his hands as he sat there.
27:15He thought about last night
27:16when Clara was locked in the closet.
27:19Her mouth was taped shut
27:20and her wrists were bound tightly.
27:22She had to listen
27:23while he had sex with another woman in the room.
27:25He thought about how she had cried
27:27that her mother was about to jump.
27:28He had accused her of putting on a show for sympathy.
27:31His chest suddenly felt so tight
27:33he could not breathe at all.
27:34After some time,
27:36his phone vibrated with a call.
27:38It was the lieutenant calling him with new information.
27:40Don Marati,
27:41something interesting came up in the investigation.
27:44The second and third men both received large transfers.
27:48They came from the same account.
27:49But the first man,
27:51we only have a blurry back view from the cameras.
27:53We have not identified him yet,
27:55despite our efforts.
27:57Is it possible that all three infidelity scenes
28:00were arranged by someone?
28:01Carter's fingers slowly tightened.
28:04He remembered the first time
28:05Clara had knelt on the ground.
28:07I did not know the man.
28:08He had not believed her at that time.
28:10The second time,
28:11she said,
28:12I did not know how I got there.
28:14He still had not believed her,
28:16despite her words.
28:17The third time,
28:18she said nothing,
28:18and he had taken that as guilt.
28:20He had not been completely unbelieving of her story,
28:23but every time he had given the investigation
28:24to Vivian to handle,
28:26and Vivian's evidence had always pointed
28:28so clearly in one direction,
28:29he suspected something was wrong.
28:31But he had been too lazy to dig deeper into the matter.
28:35Or maybe he just needed a reason.
28:38To punish her for getting pregnant
28:39and forcing him into marriage.
28:42To punish her for shattering his fantasy
28:44of a free choice in love.
28:46He had asked Vivian to draft that prenup
28:48to make Clara feel sick.
28:50But he even thought the three strikes clause
28:52was ridiculous.
28:53He would never have let her have three strikes in reality.
28:55He would not have allowed even one strike to happen.
28:58But in the end,
28:59he had indirectly made all three happen to her.
29:02Keep digging.
29:03I need to know who's messing with us.
29:04He said hoarsely.
29:05Also, lock Vivi up's poisoning my kid.
29:08He hung up,
29:08and something felt missing inside his chest.
29:13Over the next few days,
29:14he stayed at the hospital with Leo.
29:16He waited for any word from Clara,
29:18but nothing came.
29:19Carter had no answer to give his son at all.
29:22Clara had simply left the two of them behind
29:24without a word.
29:26Not long after,
29:27he went to pick Leo up from kindergarten.
29:29He found Leo sitting alone in a corner
29:31with a bruised face.
29:33What happened?
29:35Some of the other kids said
29:37he does not have a mother.
29:38Leo got into a fight with them
29:40because of those words.
29:42On the drive home,
29:43Leo suddenly asked a question.
29:45Dad, does Mom not want me anymore?
29:48Why does she not want me?
29:51Is it because I broke her locket
29:53or because I spit on her?
29:56Auntie Vivi said that if I spit on Mom,
29:59she would get worried.
30:00That day when I saw her packing to leave,
30:02I did not want her to go.
30:05That is why I did it.
30:07I will never say bad things about Grandma again.
30:10Can you make Mom come back home to us, please?
30:14Carter wanted to say that Mom was not abandoning you.
30:16Dad is the one who lost her through his own actions,
30:19but he could not open his mouth to say those words.
30:22Vivian had been locked in the punishment room
30:24for half a month.
30:25By the time Carter came to question her,
30:27she was broken, barely human.
30:30Her hands and feet were shackled,
30:31fed nothing but rotten food every day.
30:34Carter, my father died protecting you.
30:37You can't treat me like this.
30:39For years, I have done everything for you and your father.
30:44You think locking me up will bring her back?
30:47Carter, you're dreaming.
30:48Her mother's dead.
30:49She'll never forgive you.
30:51The next second, a gunshot rang out.
30:53Vivian's laughter stopped cold.
30:55Carter stood there and took out his phone from his pocket.
30:59He opened his chat with Clara on the screen.
31:01Over the past half month,
31:03he had sent hundreds of messages to her,
31:04from I am sorry to Leo misses you and I was wrong.
31:08Not a single reply had come back from her at all.
31:11She had not deleted the chat and she had not blocked him either.
31:14She just ignored every message he sent without any response.
31:18He put the phone back in his pocket and turned toward the elevator.
31:21He still had to go pick up his son from kindergarten.
31:24The teacher said Leo had been spacing out a lot lately.
31:28When asked what was wrong, he said,
31:29I was wondering when mom is coming to pick me up.
31:32Carter took his small hand and walked out of the school gate.
31:35The setting sun stretched their shadows long across the ground.
31:38Leo suddenly looked up at his father with a question.
31:41Dad, is it because I liked Auntie Vivian more?
31:44Is that why I made mom leave us all behind?
31:47Carter's throat tightened as he heard his son's words.
31:49It took a long time before he answered the question.
31:52Dad is the one who drove her away from us.
31:54Then make her come back.
31:56Say sorry.
31:57It's easy.
31:58In my class, Steve broke my eraser.
32:01He said sorry and I forgave him.
32:04Apologies now would be meaningless.
32:06She shut him out long ago.
32:08He recalled their college days.
32:10Clara is radiant, but distant.
32:12She hid behind old prejudices.
32:14Afraid their worlds were too far apart.
32:16She didn't want to join the mafia family.
32:18Just wanted a normal life.
32:20I just need a chance.
32:21One little spark to fight for.
32:23But she never took it.
32:25He remembered the night after graduation.
32:28He woke to her tangled beside him.
32:30Clothes disheveled.
32:31A cruel joke of fate.
32:32He sneered bitterly.
32:33So much for high morals and restraint.
32:35Chans out she drugged him after graduation and got into his bed.
32:38He'd thought she was calculating, but now knows the truth.
32:41The wine was handed to him by Vivian Rossi.
32:43That woman wanted his bed, not Clara.
32:45Clara was blind and unwilling pawn.
32:47She got pregnant.
32:48Parents pushed the marriage after a priest's nod.
32:51He felt trapped and cold toward her ever since.
32:53He hated the wrong people for four long years.
32:56Three years later, Carter brought his son to a birthday party, which hosted by the Romano family.
33:00The powerful syndicate rival.
33:02Leo is taller now, dressed neat, in a little suit.
33:05He wasn't loud or reckless like before.
33:06Now he was quieter.
33:08While Carter shook hands, his eyes caught a familiar figure in the corner.
33:11She cradled a toddler in a dark green dress.
33:13Serene, with a faint smile.
33:15Blood surged hot in his veins.
33:17Clara.
33:17He had searched for her through the years.
33:19He had his men search everywhere.
33:21Hired private eyes.
33:22But she vanished like smoke.
33:24But now, she stood just ten feet away.
33:26Holding a child.
33:27Smiling so peacefully.
33:28Leo saw her too.
33:30Mom!
33:31Mom, you're finally back!
33:33I missed you so much!
33:35I had a fever and you never came.
33:37The other kids call me motherless and-
33:39Let go.
33:39I said, let go.
33:41You're scaring my baby.
33:42Who's he, Mommy?
33:43Mommy, why are you holding another kid?
33:45You said I was your only child!
33:47You said that!
33:48So you were the unwanted kid all along.
33:50Well, that's just too bad for you.
33:51How can you say such things?
33:53He's your son!
33:54I only have one true baby.
33:55Mommy, don't go!
33:56I was wrong!
33:57I didn't mean to break your locket!
33:59I didn't mean to call Grandma names!
34:01Mommy!
34:05You've got the wrong family, kid.
34:07Take my wife and child somewhere quiet.
34:11Carter stood, rooted, the man's name.
34:13Julian Romano.
34:15The Romano family's elusive Don's youngest son.
34:18He just called Clara, wife.
34:19Then it hit him.
34:20Over the years, their turf and assets kept shrinking.
34:23He traced every move back to the Romano family.
34:25He thought it was just normal rivalry, but now he knew.
34:28It was Clara.
34:29Married to him four years.
34:30She'd known Moretti's empire inside out.
34:32All the weak spots.
34:34The backdoor deals.
34:35The contacts.
34:35The merger plans he'd mentioned carelessly on calls.
34:38The contract clauses she glanced at while packing files.
34:41Carter's heart clenched hard.
34:42He thought Clara never let go of their son.
34:44Never left him.
34:45But she'd already moved on.
34:46Somewhere far from them both.
34:48She had a new child.
34:49A new life.
34:50And was working to destroy his empire.
34:52He watched Julian's back.
34:53A faint memory stirring inside.
34:55But with Leo's cries ringing out.
34:57He couldn't think straight.
34:59Determined to see me once more, Carter faked a chance.
35:02Letting news of the divorce procedure reach my ears.
35:04I glanced, but didn't answer.
35:05Mom.
35:06Carter wasn't really ready to let go.
35:08He just wanted to force me out.
35:09Not truly divorce.
35:10He was still trying to save the family.
35:12Clara, that prenup, I never signed.
35:14We've been waiting.
35:15But how could you, with Julian, the Romano family's ruthless, how could you betray us?
35:20You arranged those setups.
35:21The men, the stage betrayals, you wanted this outcome.
35:24What did you say?
35:25That man, the first one, it was him.
35:28He was drunk, stumbled into my room.
35:30Memories flooded back all at once.
35:32That man, the blurry figure on the tape, was Julian Romano.
35:36No, Clara, I didn't set it up.
35:37Not your doing, then why never investigate?
35:39Three times Carter, three.
35:41You never even questioned.
35:42You didn't set it up, but you let it happen.
35:43Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened thrice.
35:46This whole thing, and your mother's, I'm sorry.
35:48This is the last time I'll call his name.
35:50Carter, sign it.
35:52The stamp pressed down quietly, but it cuts the last tie like a knife.
35:56Mom, please don't go.
35:57I'll be good.
35:58I won't say bad words.
36:00I'll listen to you.
36:02I didn't stop.
36:03Carter stepped forward and pulled Leo back.
36:05I walked out of the courthouse doors.
36:07The sun burned my eyes, making me squint.
36:09I raised a hand and quickly wiped my tears away.
36:12Done.
36:12Spread the news.
36:13And release that video, the one with you and Vivian that great.
36:17I want you to cry.
36:19Three years of whittling down the ready family empire.
36:22Years of silent sabotage.
36:24Now it was time to finish the hunt.
36:26Behind her, the boy's cries faded, until they were nothing but an echo.
36:29I never looked back.
36:30Not this time.
36:31My knees would never bend again.
