00:00Five years ago, I had Grant's daughter in secret and raised her alone.
00:04That night, I was ready to tell him the truth.
00:07Then I found out he'd spent the night with Sienna.
00:12Where does it hurt?
00:13You know where? I've been hurting ever since last night.
00:18Grant and I were in a secret marriage for seven years.
00:21The second he chose another woman in public, I decided to divorce him, take my daughter, and leave for good.
00:27Mommy, why don't I have a dad? Is he dead?
00:30Lily was already five.
00:31She had no idea her father was alive, let alone that he ran Hale Health.
00:35For five years, I never regretted hiding it from her.
00:38But that night, she asked about her dad for the first time.
00:40For seven years, every time Grant pushed me aside, I told myself he was just busy.
00:44For Lily, I decided to give him one last chance.
00:46Dr. Shaw, a patient may have had rough sex in early pregnancy.
00:49She could have a ruptured corpus lurum cyst.
00:51Start vitals. Prepper sent the message.
00:53I never sent the message. I got called to the ER instead.
00:55That was the closest Grant ever came to his daughter.
00:57The patient was Sienna.
00:59She was engaged to Grant's cousin in prison, but Grant had been taking care of her himself.
01:03Transfer me to Hale Medical Center. I want a different doctor.
01:07You're at risk for internal bleeding.
01:09You need an exam first.
01:10I reached in to examine her, and Sienna smacked my hand hard enough to leave it red.
01:16But the second she saw Grant, all that hostility disappeared.
01:19Grant.
01:20Even her voice turned soft.
01:22Grant walked right past me and went straight to Sienna.
01:25No one knew the wife he left standing there was me.
01:28Where does it hurt?
01:29You know where.
01:31I've been hurting ever since last night.
01:34Sienna made it sound deliberate.
01:36Everyone assumed Grant was the baby's father.
01:38I waited for him to correct them, but he said nothing.
01:42I don't want her touching me.
01:44Can you take me to Hale Medical Center?
01:47Okay.
01:48For seven years, I kept making excuses for Grant.
01:51Then he walked out with Sienna, and I finally got it.
01:55He wasn't capable of love.
01:56It just was never mine.
01:58Sienna was what broke the last of my hope.
02:01It took me five years to give Grant one more chance.
02:03He only needed a few minutes to make me take it back.
02:07You've been married that long and never wanted kids?
02:09My husband can't get me pregnant.
02:11I told that lie to protect my daughter.
02:12I didn't know Grant had come back and heard me.
02:15Is that how you talk about me to other people?
02:20Grant only stopped for me, because that remark hurt his reputation.
02:24I don't remember ever having that condition.
02:26You said you didn't want kids.
02:28Either way, it made no difference to me.
02:30Work came first, always.
02:32I don't want kids, and that's not up for debate.
02:35On our wedding night, he told me not to expect children.
02:38I made excuses for him.
02:39Told myself he was just busy.
02:41Every disappointment after that went the same way.
02:45Don't drag Sienna into this.
02:47In public, you should know how to protect the Hale family's image.
02:50He didn't explain the ER mess.
02:52He just told me to protect Sienna and the Hale family.
02:54My dignity never mattered.
02:56There's no us anymore.
02:59For the first time in seven years, I didn't run after him to explain.
03:03After Grant left, I pulled out the agreement I should have used long ago.
03:08Before we got married, the Hale family's lawyers put a seven-year term in the prenup.
03:12Grant signed it without reading it.
03:15We've got three months left.
03:16It used to feel like an expiration date on my marriage.
03:19Now it's my way out.
03:21For Lily, too.
03:23That night, I put the agreement in front of Grant and told him for the first time that our marriage
03:27was over.
03:28I want a divorce.
03:29You have three months to handle the paperwork.
03:31Just because I went with Sienna to the doctor?
03:34So he knew it would hurt me.
03:36He just didn't think it was worth explaining.
03:39Yes, because of tonight.
03:41And because of the last seven years.
03:43I don't have time for your emotions.
03:44If you want a divorce, get your own lawyer.
03:46I fell for Grant as a teenager.
03:48I used to imagine he'd be afraid to lose me.
03:50But when I finally said divorce, he didn't even hesitate.
03:53Fine.
03:55He looked at me for two seconds and decided I was fishing for attention again.
03:59Before, I always swallowed it and acted like nothing happened.
04:02Sleep on it and don't bring it up again tomorrow.
04:06Seven years in, and he still doesn't know how to lose me.
04:10This time, I'm not talking myself out of leaving.
04:14Mommy, can I come live with you in New York next month?
04:18In that empty bedroom, Lily was the only one waiting for me.
04:22She was the only one who never let me down.
04:25If Grant finds out you already had his daughter, is he going to lose it?
04:29Everyone thinks he can't have kids.
04:32He'll never know.
04:33And he won't care.
04:34Everyone thought Grant couldn't have children.
04:37I believed it too.
04:38Then five years ago, one night proved us all wrong.
04:44Grant was hardly ever home.
04:46Before he left for San Francisco, he got drunk.
04:50That night, we let our guard down for the first time.
04:53It was the closest we ever felt.
04:55Two months later, I found out I was pregnant.
04:57I cried because I thought maybe this would make Grant see our marriage.
05:02I flew to San Francisco full of hope and waited outside his office for two hours.
05:08Grant never introduced me as his wife.
05:11He didn't even ask why I came.
05:12He just told his assistant to send me to his place.
05:17He thought I'd come to sleep with him again.
05:19I guarded our unborn Bade and gave him the last bit of hope I had.
05:23If we had a child, would you try to make this marriage work?
05:26A child won't save a marriage.
05:27I don't think a baby will keep me.
05:30He never asked why I brought up a child.
05:33That night, I lay beside my husband and felt lonelier than if I'd been alone.
05:38The next day, he had his assistant book my flight home, like he couldn't wait to get rid of me.
05:44The baby was growing inside me.
05:46I'd have her, but I wouldn't tell Grant.
05:49From then on, the tears were behind me.
05:51She was mine.
05:53Mia introduced me to Hayden.
05:55He found me a private clinic outside the Hale system, and he locked down my medical records.
06:00Without your written consent, nobody gets these records.
06:02You're not going to ask who the father is?
06:04That's your privacy.
06:05A stranger respected my choice.
06:08My husband couldn't even bear to hear whether the child existed.
06:11You really filed for divorce from Grant?
06:14Mia's watched me love Grant since we were teenagers.
06:18Really.
