00:04:32No, please don't send me back
00:04:34I saw the black airline crate behind me and my whole body started shaking
00:04:41Please, I'm begging you, please don't
00:04:43Those memories came rushing back, that dark room, that endless pain
00:04:50But Ian wouldn't even let me explain, he just ordered his bodyguards to move
00:04:54I'm sorry, I won't love you anymore
00:04:58Please, don't lock me in there
00:05:04Even after the crate door shut, Ian just stood there and watched me beg
00:05:09The last sliver of light disappeared
00:05:11And I was back in those three hellish years
00:05:13Ha ha ha, come on
00:05:15Aren't you an Oscar winning actress?
00:05:18Weren't you some rich little princess?
00:05:20Scream for us, go on!
00:05:22Some star you are
00:05:23You can't even serve a man like a hooker can
00:05:25A fallen princess is just a hooker, isn't she?
00:05:28Sir, Miss Carter doesn't look right
00:05:30She, hasn't she pulled this before?
00:05:32Same old act
00:05:33If she keeps this up, Olivia's gonna be upset
00:05:35The assistant's voice came from outside the crate
00:05:38And was cut off mid-sentence by Ian
00:05:40I don't even have many days left
00:05:42It's been six months since they diagnosed me with cancer
00:05:44My body's already at its limit
00:05:47This time, I just want to leave with some dignity
00:05:52The rotors thundered over my head
00:05:54Pounding all the way through my bones
00:05:56Curled up in that cramped crate
00:05:57I tasted blood and clutched my mother's silver necklace
00:06:01Mom
00:06:02Dad
00:06:03Wait for me
00:06:04I'll be with you soon
00:06:11I don't know how long it had been
00:06:13When I opened my eyes
00:06:15The harsh white light still hurt
00:06:17The white walls
00:06:19The busy hallway
00:06:20The familiar news on TV
00:06:22They all told me the same thing
00:06:24I was finally back home
00:06:27You're awake
00:06:29Where's your family?
00:06:30Why isn't anyone here with you?
00:07:00The TV was showing a news report about Olivia and Ian
00:07:01I fell asleep in pain
00:07:02But for the first time in three years
00:07:04I slept in peace
00:07:12When I woke up, Ian and Olivia were in my room
00:07:16How could you be this sick and not tell us?
00:07:19When she saw I was awake, her eyes were full of tears
00:07:29Ian stood by my bed
00:07:30Ian stood by my bed, my lab report in his hand
00:07:31My heart jolted
00:07:32I grabbed the blanket
00:07:33Knuckles white
00:07:36You really never changed, do you?
00:07:39You really never changed, do you?
00:07:39Having fun?
00:07:41And then I heard him sneer
00:07:42The edge of the paper scraped my face, leaving a sting
00:07:45I froze, looked up, and met his ice-cold eyes
00:07:48Fake medical records
00:07:49You really haven't changed
00:07:51Ian bit out every word
00:07:53Disgust all over his face
00:07:55No one treats her
00:07:56Get all this equipment out
00:08:00He gave the order to the bodyguards
00:08:03The door shut
00:08:04Through the haze, I was a child again
00:08:07I ate seafood by mistake
00:08:09And had a severe allergic reaction
00:08:12Ian flew into a rage
00:08:13Fired every serpent in the house
00:08:16And stayed by my bed all night
00:08:17Checking my temperature over and over
00:08:20Back then, I was all that mattered to him
00:08:22And now, I finally understood
00:08:24That tenderness was never love
00:08:26Just duty
00:08:28Have you learned your lesson yet?
00:08:32I don't know how long I lay there
00:08:34Before a cold voice broke through
00:08:36I forced my eyes open
00:08:37My whole body aching
00:08:41Yes
00:08:41But the second I met Ian's eyes
00:08:43I nodded
00:08:47Olivia put together a welcome home dinner for you
00:08:49Come on, everyone's waiting
00:08:51Ian frowned slightly
00:08:52Caught off guard by how obedient I was
00:08:55Then he fed me an allergy pill
00:08:56All the way there
00:08:58Olivia's face was everywhere
00:09:00Billboards, posters, ads
00:09:02After three years
00:09:04Everyone seemed to have moved on
00:09:06I was still in the war zone
00:09:08As soon as we got out of the car
00:09:10Olivia came right over
00:09:12Ian, Sophie, you're finally here
00:09:14I heard Mr. Payne got so mad at her
00:09:17He sent her overseas
00:09:18Olivia got all her opportunities after that
00:09:21Just look at her
00:09:22Then look at Olivia's couture
00:09:24And those million dollar jewels
00:09:26So what if she's adopted sister?
00:09:28She still can't compare to the woman he's going to marry
00:09:30I could hear them whispering around me
00:09:33Sophie
00:09:34After you were left in the war zone
00:09:36Ian found out I also love acting
00:09:38So he had me take over your roles
00:09:41You don't mind, do you?
00:09:43I don't mind
00:09:45I blinked slowly
00:09:46Ian saw how quiet I was
00:09:48Something flickered in his eyes
00:09:50He said nothing
00:09:51The welcome home dinner started right on time
00:09:53I sat in the corner
00:09:55Head down
00:09:56Too afraid to look at anyone
00:09:59Miss Carter
00:10:01Long time no see
00:10:03Then I heard that familiar voice
00:10:05My whole body jolted
00:10:11A little gift, Sophie
00:10:12I know you'll love it
00:10:14That face
00:10:15I'd seen him in my tent before
00:10:17His greasy eyes stayed fixed on me
00:10:19As he pushed the pearls toward me
00:10:21My breath quickened
00:10:22I stared at those pearls
00:10:24White, round
00:10:25Strung one after another
00:10:27They reminded me of another string
00:10:28White, round, broken
00:10:29Scattered across mud
00:10:31Over me
00:10:31Into
00:10:32What were you thinking?
00:10:33You didn't even say thank you
00:10:35Ian was suddenly right beside me
00:10:37He looked at me
00:10:38Clearly annoyed
00:10:39It was pure instinct
00:10:42I got to my feet
00:10:43Trembling
00:10:45I walked over and sat in his lap
00:10:48Numb
00:10:48I looped my arm around his neck
00:10:51And fed him wine
00:10:53Mouth to mouth
00:10:54The whole ballroom went dead silent
00:10:57A few seconds later
00:10:59I heard a glass shatter
00:11:03Then came Ian's furious voice
00:11:08Sophie!
00:11:12He yanked me aside
00:11:13Rage blazing in his eyes
00:11:15I watched him beat the man
00:11:17On Razvekin
00:11:18Until he collapsed
00:11:22The pain in my wrist
00:11:23Finally snapped me back
00:11:24To reality
00:11:26Ian
00:11:28I came to
00:11:30Don't call me that
00:11:32I don't have a shameless
00:11:33Adopted sister like you
00:11:35Ian tightened his grip on my wrist
00:11:37His knuckles were still bloody
00:11:39But his gaze was ice cold
00:11:41The blood drained from my face
00:11:43Right
00:11:44I was already ruined
00:11:45My pinky
00:11:46My voice
00:11:47My broken body
00:11:49Every scar
00:11:50Every memory
00:11:51Reminded me of what I'd become
00:11:55Sophie, are you really going to destroy your own reputation
00:11:58Just to make Ian jealous?
00:12:00Olivia looked at our clasped hands
00:12:02Clenched her jaw
00:12:03And stepped forward
00:12:04All fake concern
00:12:06Before I could say a word
00:12:07Ian's face darkened
00:12:08He grabbed my wrist
00:12:12Threw me into the garden pool
00:12:14And turned the hose on me
00:12:16The freezing water soaked me through instantly
00:12:21Someone
00:12:22Scrub her down with disinfectant
00:12:24She doesn't come out until she's clean
00:12:27Ian gave the order coldly
00:12:28I froze
00:12:31For a second I was back in that crowded tent
00:12:34My whole body started shaking
00:12:37Ian
00:12:38I'm sorry
00:12:39Please don't
00:12:42Hold her down
00:12:46Ian showed no mercy
00:12:48The servants pinned my shoulders
00:12:50While the others poured disinfectant over me
00:12:56The cold left my skin burning
00:12:58By the time I collapsed on the wet grass
00:13:01I was shaking so hard
00:13:03I didn't even have the strength to kneel and beg forgiveness
00:13:10Sophie
00:13:11No matter what you do
00:13:12I'll never love you
00:13:13The one I love is Olivia
00:13:14Do you understand?
00:13:16Ian waved everyone off and stood over me
00:13:17I looked at his cold
00:13:19Heartless face
00:13:19It felt like something inside me had been torn away
00:13:23I understand
00:13:27I would never love him again
00:13:29I couldn't risk it
00:13:31He stared at me for a few seconds
00:13:33Said nothing
00:13:34And walked away
00:13:37The garden was warm with spring sunshine
00:13:39But I felt ice cold
00:13:41I wrapped my arms around myself
00:13:45Then I heard a soft meow by my feet
00:13:47And looked down
00:13:49A tiny ball of fluff rubbed against my leg
00:13:52It was snowball
00:13:53All dirty and scruffy
00:13:55My parents' faces flashed through my mind
00:13:58Sweetheart
00:13:59This kitten will keep you a company for us
00:14:01Take good care of it
00:14:03Mom and Dad will come take you home soon
00:14:08I pulled Snowball into my arms
00:14:10The warmth of its soft fur
00:14:13Made me finally break down and cry
00:14:16That night
00:14:17I burned with fever until morning
00:14:19I dreamed of Mom and Dad
00:14:21I reached for them
00:14:24But I could never hold on
00:14:29The next morning
00:14:31I was woken by the noise
00:14:34The servants were moving Olivia's things into the villa
00:14:43Ian
00:14:44I love Sophie's room with the mountain view
00:14:46Can we knock the two rooms together and make it our bedroom?
00:14:52Fine
00:14:54Ian looked at me
00:14:55He was silent for a few seconds
00:14:58Then nodded
00:14:58Olivia had the staff throw my things out one by one
00:15:02I didn't say a word
00:15:03Like I wasn't even there
00:15:07At least you're finally behaving yourself
00:15:10Ian watched me and frowned
00:15:11I kept my head down and said nothing
00:15:17Then I heard a sharp cry upstairs
00:15:19My heart clenched
00:15:21Ignoring the dizziness
00:15:22I ran upstairs
00:15:26Snowball was on the floor
00:15:28Blood at its mouth
00:15:29Olivia stood in the doorway with a baseball bat
00:15:32Clutching the back of her hand
00:15:35Ian's face changed
00:15:37He shoved me aside
00:15:39I hit the metal door handle
00:15:40Splitting open my forehead
00:15:48Ian
00:15:48That cat jumped at me and scratched me
00:15:50I was so scared
00:15:53When I came to
00:15:54Olivia was in Ian's arms
00:15:56Her eyes red
00:15:57Sophie
00:15:58You knew Olivia was afraid of cats
00:16:00Why did you bring that animal in here?
00:16:03Snowball would never scratch anyone
00:16:04He's gentle
00:16:05Enough
00:16:06You couldn't even control it
00:16:08And you're still making excuses
00:16:10Someone kill that cat
00:16:12Ian cut me off
00:16:13His voice was icy
00:16:14My head was spinning
00:16:16And my fingers wouldn't stop shaking
00:16:23I'm so sorry
00:16:24I won't do it again
00:16:26Please spare Snowball
00:16:29I dropped hard to my knees
00:16:31And pressed my forehead to the floor
00:16:34Stop banging your head
00:16:36He snapped at me coldly
00:16:37But I acted like I didn't hear him
00:16:39I just kept slamming my forehead into the floor
00:16:42Until it was a bloody mess
00:16:46I told you to stop
00:16:49When he grabbed my hand
00:16:50He felt what was missing from my pinky
00:16:52He froze
00:16:57What happened to your finger?
00:17:01I...
00:17:02It was like waking from a dream
00:17:08Sophie
00:17:09Even if you can't have Ian
00:17:11You can't hurt yourself like this
00:17:12You're trying to make him feel guilty
00:17:15So you can force him to marry you?
00:17:19Olivia rushed over and grabbed my arm
00:17:21Looking heartbroken
00:17:25Sophie
00:17:25If you care that much about that cat
00:17:28Then kneel on the gravel all night
00:17:30And think about what you've done
00:17:31The concern on Ian's face
00:17:33Vanishes in an instant
00:17:34Replaced by pure rage
00:17:36He shoved me away
00:17:37His voice ice cold
00:17:39When he finished
00:17:40He didn't even look at me
00:17:42He turned and walked away
00:17:44With Olivia in his arms
00:17:54The garden was cold in the night air
00:17:56I knelt there
00:17:57I knelt there
00:17:58Letting the ache in my knees
00:17:59Spread through me
00:18:01Poor Miss Carter
00:18:02Mr. Payne never used to treat her like this
00:18:05Yeah
00:18:06What did she do?
00:18:11The servants kept whispering
00:18:14What did I do wrong?
00:18:15I loved someone I never should have loved
00:18:19Ian don't worry
00:18:21Soon you'll be rid of me for good
00:18:22Then something warm brushed against my hand
00:18:25I looked down
00:18:26Snowball was rubbing against my finger
00:18:29Almost as if she were telling me not to be sad
00:18:31Before I go
00:18:33I'll find you a good home
00:18:36You'll have a happy life again soon
00:18:42Snowball seemed to understand
00:18:44She gently nuzzled my chin
00:18:47I never imagined I'd find Snowball dead the next day
00:18:50Someone killed him while I was out getting food
00:18:54I came back with bread
00:18:55And saw that tiny body
00:18:57Curled up on the stone path
00:18:59Completely still
00:19:01Up close
00:19:02I saw his little belly caved in
00:19:04His limbs bent at impossible angles
00:19:08Only his amber eyes were still turned toward me
00:19:10Like he'd been waiting for me to come back
00:19:15I stood there clutching the bread
00:19:18Frozen for a long time
00:19:20As the sun rose
00:19:21The staff filed out to sweep the grounds
00:19:24And trim the flowers
00:19:25They looked completely calm
00:19:27As if they already knew
00:19:35I walked over and stared down at him
00:19:38I wanted to cry
00:19:39But I had no tears left
00:19:46It started to rain
00:19:48I dug a small hole in the backyard
00:19:50And laid my kitten to rest with the bread
00:19:57I'm sorry
00:19:59I couldn't protect you
00:20:02Fighting back tears
00:20:03I slowly covered him with dirt
00:20:13I walked back into the house
00:20:15Drenched through
00:20:20The door flew open
00:20:21And Ian came in
00:20:22His face dark
00:20:23Sophie
00:20:24Look what you've done
00:20:28He shoved his phone in front of me
00:20:30In huge red letters it read
00:20:32Oscar winning actress Sophie Carter
00:20:34So really loved her adoptive brother
00:20:35For 15 years
00:20:36Scandalous handwritten diary leak
00:20:38Underneath were comments tearing me apart
00:20:40Some even dug up my old photos
00:20:42Turned them into memorial portraits
00:20:45And wrote
00:20:46Hope she dies soon
00:20:48I read each line
00:20:49The color drained from my face
00:20:55Do you know what they're saying about you on social media right now?
00:20:59That you're shameless
00:21:01You bit the hand that fed you?
00:21:04The Payne family wasted 15 years
00:21:07Raising an ingrate
00:21:12Ian's gaze were ice
00:21:13Cold
00:21:18No
00:21:20I didn't
00:21:22You didn't
00:21:23Then who did?
00:21:24The screen was filled with words
00:21:26I love Ian
00:21:27I want to be his wife
00:21:29I dream about him every day
00:21:31I opened my mouth
00:21:32But no words came
00:21:35He'd rubbed my stomach
00:21:36And made me honey cinnamon tea
00:21:38When I got my first period
00:21:40He'd scared off the first boy
00:21:41Who confessed to me
00:21:44At my debutante ball
00:21:45He'd even knelt down
00:21:46To fix my dress
00:21:49I wrote every bit of that love
00:21:51In my diary
00:21:51A secret I could never say out loud
00:21:55And now a hacker had stolen it
00:21:56And exposed it to the world
00:21:59Sophie I'm getting married
00:22:00Are you really trying to steal
00:22:02Your best friend's fiance?
00:22:04Ian's voice turned even colder
00:22:06I froze
00:22:07He'd gotten it all wrong
00:22:09But the words cut so deep
00:22:11I thought my heart couldn't be hurt
00:22:13Like that anymore
00:22:14But hearing him say it out loud
00:22:15The Payne came right back
00:22:18Mr. Payne
00:22:20Mr. Payne
00:22:22Ms. Young saw the trending post about her
00:22:24And fell from a platform while filming
00:22:26She's at the hospital
00:22:27She needs blood now
00:22:28And she's RH negative
00:22:29Just then
00:22:30Ian's assistant came rushing over
00:22:32Panic written all over his face
00:22:33Ian's eyes snapped to me
00:22:35I stepped back
00:22:35I knew that look too well
00:22:37It was the same look he had
00:22:38When left me behind
00:22:39And took Olivia away
00:22:40In that helicopter
00:22:41He was going to use my blood
00:22:43To save her
00:22:43You have the same blood type
00:22:45As Olivia
00:22:45Come to the hospital with me
00:22:47Now
00:22:47His voice left no room
00:22:49For argument
00:22:55I was dragged into the car
00:22:57He drove like hell
00:22:58I curled up in the back seat
00:23:00White as a sheet
00:23:01Ian glanced at me
00:23:02In the rear view mirror
00:23:03Something in him faltered
00:23:04He forced himself to look away
00:23:06And pressed harder on the gas
00:23:12Ian
00:23:14It hurts so much
00:23:15At the private hospital
00:23:17Olivia lay pale in bed
00:23:18The second she fought Ian
00:23:20Her eyes filled with tears
00:23:21Don't be afraid
00:23:22I'll have them start the transfusion right away
00:23:25Ian and took Olivia's hand
00:23:28I stood in the doorway
00:23:29Even after everything
00:23:31My heart still hurt
00:23:32When I heard it
00:23:34The second I saw the syringe
00:23:36Numbness turned to fear
00:23:37Back in the war zone
00:23:38Every syringe meant
00:23:39They were dragging me back
00:23:40Into that tent
00:23:41My body remembered
00:23:42I covered my head
00:23:43And tried to run
00:23:45No
00:23:46I don't want this
00:23:48Please no
00:23:49No matter how hard I screamed
00:23:50It was useless
00:23:51They pinned me down
00:23:52Fear flooded my eyes
00:23:53Ian wavered for a second
00:23:54Then went cold again
00:23:55It's just a little blood
00:23:57It'll be over fast
00:23:58Ian said it
00:23:59Like it meant nothing
00:24:00I reached for him
00:24:01I wanted to tell him
00:24:02I would never love him again
00:24:03Maybe then
00:24:04I could finally let go
00:24:05Then the needle went in
00:24:06I curled up
00:24:08As warm blood left my body
00:24:09And a deep chill
00:24:10Ran through me
00:24:12You have to stop
00:24:13She's going into shock
00:24:15Keep going
00:24:17Olivia has to be okay
00:24:18The nurse cried out
00:24:20Then Ian's cold
00:24:21Distant voice reached me
00:24:22Those words cut deeper
00:24:24Than anything
00:24:24Something in me broke for good
00:24:26And I felt a strange release
00:24:27Maybe it was better this way
00:24:29Dying meant
00:24:30I could finally be at peace
00:24:31With mom
00:24:32Dad
00:24:33And Snowball
00:24:37Get her the best room
00:24:38Bring in blood
00:24:39From the regional medical center
00:24:40Now
00:24:45Ian threw that out
00:24:46And hurried off
00:24:50Mr. Payne is so good
00:24:51To Miss Young
00:24:52They're getting married
00:24:53In seven days
00:24:54Such a perfect match
00:24:55Yeah
00:24:55Unlike that washed up
00:24:57Actress next door
00:24:58Throwing herself
00:24:59At the man who raised her
00:25:00No wonder she's only
00:25:02Got two weeks left
00:25:03People like her
00:25:04Get what's coming to them
00:25:05I couldn't hear the rest
00:25:06When I woke up again
00:25:08I was in the hospital bed
00:25:09Getting a transfusion
00:25:11The nurses kept talking outside
00:25:12I lay there
00:25:14Pale and silent
00:25:22Back at the Payne estate
00:25:24I found three wooden boards
00:25:25And a knife
00:25:26One for Snowball
00:25:28One for myself
00:25:29The last stayed blank
00:25:34Maybe I was close to the end
00:25:35I was so weak
00:25:37I could barely move
00:25:38It took me three days
00:25:39To finish the three memorial plaques
00:25:41All the while
00:25:42The TV was full of
00:25:43Olivia and Ian
00:25:44Walks by the ocean
00:25:45Kissing at sunset
00:25:47Holding each other
00:25:48In a field of flowers
00:25:50The tenderness in his eyes
00:25:51Was almost unbearable
00:25:53I turned off the TV
00:25:54I couldn't feel pain anymore
00:25:59At first light
00:26:00I took the plaques
00:26:01I'd carved
00:26:02And went to church
00:26:12The moment I arrived
00:26:13I saw two familiar figures
00:26:16Beneath the wish tree
00:26:17What would you like
00:26:18To pray for my child?
00:26:22I'm praying my baby
00:26:23Is born safe
00:26:24And healthy
00:26:26I'm praying the woman
00:26:27Beside me
00:26:28Gets her wish
00:26:29The priest asked Olivia
00:26:30She touched her belly
00:26:32And answered sweetly
00:26:33Ian smiled
00:26:34His voice gentle
00:26:38Mr. Payne is so gentle
00:26:39I heard Olivia is wrapping up this film
00:26:42Then she's retiring to be a rich wife
00:26:43That baby is so lucky
00:26:45Dad's a New York tycoon
00:26:47Mom's an international star
00:26:49Beneath the sea of prayer cards
00:26:51He was all tenderness
00:26:52Holding her hand
00:26:53Helping her hang her wish
00:26:54Guarding her belly
00:26:55Fans had spotted them
00:26:56And were whispering
00:26:56About how lucky they were
00:26:59I clutched the blank memorial plaque
00:27:02I had a child once
00:27:03Ian's child
00:27:05But the first time those men
00:27:07Came into my tent in the war zone
00:27:08I lost the baby
00:27:10If my baby had lived
00:27:11They'd be running around by now
00:27:14On the other side of the wish tree
00:27:16Olivia rose on tiptoe
00:27:18And kissed Ian's cheek
00:27:19He whispered something in her ear
00:27:22And she blushed
00:27:23Hiding her face against his chest
00:27:26I watched them
00:27:27And felt sick to my stomach
00:27:29I ducked away
00:27:30Head down
00:27:31Into the prayer hall
00:27:33I set the three memorial plaques
00:27:35Beside my parents' plaques
00:27:36Then wiped theirs clean
00:27:38Mom
00:27:38Dad
00:27:39I'm sorry
00:27:41It took me three years
00:27:43To come see you
00:27:44My voice was barely above a whisper
00:27:46Like I was afraid
00:27:47Of disturbing the dead
00:27:48But don't worry
00:27:51We will be together again soon
00:27:54I paused
00:27:55Forced a smile
00:27:56And knelt
00:28:00Footsteps came from behind
00:28:02I turned
00:28:14Sophie
00:28:15Aren't you tired of this whole
00:28:17I'm dying act
00:28:17Ian looked surprised to see me
00:28:19But the moment his eyes
00:28:20Fell on my plaques
00:28:21His expression dark
00:28:22His baseless accusation
00:28:24Pierced me all over again
00:28:29Sophie
00:28:29Is this because
00:28:31Ian and I are getting married?
00:28:32Are you making these awful plaques
00:28:34To vent?
00:28:35If that's it
00:28:36I won't marry him
00:28:38Please don't do this to yourself
00:28:42I was just about to tell him
00:28:43I really was dying
00:28:44When Olivia stepped out
00:28:46From behind him
00:28:47Eyes red
00:28:49You've completely lost it
00:28:51Smash those memorial plaques
00:28:53Ian shielded Olivia behind him
00:28:55When he looked at me again
00:28:56His anger deepened
00:28:59The bodyguard behind him
00:29:00Raised a plaque high
00:29:01No
00:29:02It shattered into pieces
00:29:05I froze
00:29:06Something inside me broke with it
00:29:08I gathered the pieces
00:29:09My tears soaking into the broken wood
00:29:14Ian
00:29:15My stomach hurts
00:29:24I watched him walk away
00:29:26Felt hollow inside
00:29:27Numb and cold
00:29:29Ian
00:29:30Don't worry
00:29:31Soon
00:29:32I won't bother you anymore
00:29:34I whispered
00:29:37Sophie Carter
00:29:38You homewrecker
00:29:39How dare you show your face here
00:29:41Shameless bitch
00:29:42Hit her
00:29:42Do it for Olivia
00:29:43After a long while
00:29:45I got up
00:29:46Clutching the shattered memorial plaque
00:29:48Then a crowd of fans rushed in
00:29:50Fists rained down on me
00:29:52I curled up
00:29:53Clutching the broken pieces to my chest
00:29:56It hurt everywhere
00:29:58I almost called Ian's name
00:30:00Name
00:30:02Then stopped
00:30:03Three years in the war zone
00:30:04And he'd never come
00:30:05How could I expect him to save me now?
00:30:08Shameless bitch
00:30:09Go to hell
00:30:10A bottle smashed into my head
00:30:12Everything went black
00:30:14Before I passed out
00:30:16I thought I saw Ian running toward me in a panic
00:30:20When I woke up again
00:30:22It was the same doctor
00:30:24His eyes were full of pity
00:30:26Miss Carter
00:30:28I'm afraid you only have a week left
00:30:36The doctor asked if I had any last wish
00:30:39I thought about it
00:30:41Then shook my head
00:30:46Miss Carter
00:30:47It looks like Mr. Payne still cares about you
00:30:50Ian never came
00:30:52But gifts kept arising in my room
00:30:54The maid tried to comfort me
00:30:55I said nothing
00:30:57After I was discharged
00:30:59I took my diary out of the safe
00:31:02I started it when I was 15
00:31:05If I was leaving
00:31:06I wanted to leave for good
00:31:08Every memory of Ian had to go
00:31:13I set the diary on the lawn
00:31:15And lit a match
00:31:17The flames crept across the pages
00:31:21Consuming every word of love
00:31:23I'd never dared to say
00:31:30What are you burning?
00:31:33Sophie
00:31:34You think burning your diary will get my attention?
00:31:36He'd appeared out of nowhere
00:31:38When he saw the burning pages
00:31:40His face shifted
00:31:41Anger simmering beneath the surface
00:31:46No
00:31:47I didn't
00:31:51Then why burn your diary?
00:31:53You can't even behave now
00:31:55Do you want to go back to the war zone?
00:31:57Ian's voice was edged with anger
00:32:00I won't do it again
00:32:01Please don't send me back
00:32:03The second I heard war zone
00:32:05My whole body started shaking
00:32:07The memories came rushing back
00:32:09Hunger
00:32:10Fear
00:32:11The smell of sweat on those men
00:32:14My knees gave out
00:32:15I couldn't stop banging my forehead against the ground
00:32:18I didn't even notice the shock on Ian's face
00:32:21He just stared at my thin, shaking body
00:32:24His voice barely steady
00:32:27Sophie
00:32:28How did you end up like this?
00:32:33Ian
00:32:34Weren't you going to take Sophie and me to my wrap party today?
00:32:38Why so serious?
00:32:40Before he could finish
00:32:41A soft voice cut in
00:32:46Do I have to go?
00:32:49If Olivia wants you there
00:32:51You go
00:32:55Okay
00:32:57I closed my eyes
00:32:58If he wanted me to go
00:33:00Then I'd go
00:33:02I'd call it repatement for all the years he raised me
00:33:05After this
00:33:06We'd be even
00:33:07When we got to the set
00:33:09Every eye turned to me
00:33:15A wealthy man walked over
00:33:18The look in his eyes was horribly familiar
00:33:21My whole body went rigid
00:33:22Like the pain were happening all over again
00:33:30You see an old friend and won't even say hello
00:33:32He's missed you
00:33:34See those mercenary bodyguards with him?
00:33:37They've missed that battered body of yours too
00:33:39She clung to my arm like we were still best friends
00:33:41But her voice was pure venom
00:33:43I dug my nails into my palm
00:33:46My whole body shook
00:33:47Olivia
00:33:49Take Sophie inside first
00:33:50I need to take a work call
00:33:51Just when I was about to lose control
00:33:54Ian's voice cut in
00:33:56Sophie
00:33:57Look after Olivia
00:33:58Even as he left
00:34:00Ian still warned me
00:34:01His tone was flat
00:34:03But the look in his eyes said it all
00:34:04He was afraid I'd hurt Olivia
00:34:06I stood there watching him walk away
00:34:12How does she even have the nerve to show up?
00:34:15Going after the man who raised you?
00:34:17If that were me
00:34:17I'd be too ashamed to live
00:34:19A piece of trash like that?
00:34:21Only death could wash away the filth
00:34:25Olivia's little crew walked past
00:34:27Dripping with disgust
00:34:28Stop
00:34:29Sophie is still my friend after all
00:34:32The director's waiting for me so I should go
00:34:34Olivia covered her mouth and laughed softly
00:34:37Once she was gone
00:34:39I could finally breathe
00:34:40I never gave a damn about these people before
00:34:43And I sure as hell didn't now
00:34:46When filming started up again
00:34:48Ian came back
00:34:49Maybe to keep up appearances
00:34:51He kept his eyes glued to Olivia the entire time
00:34:58As soon as filming wrapped
00:34:59Ian draped a blanket over Olivia
00:35:01And asked if she was feeling okay
00:35:03I stood in the corner
00:35:04My eyes burning
00:35:05Everything blurring
00:35:06Then the whole room exploded in cheers
00:35:08Ian had just invited everyone to his wedding
00:35:11To Olivia
00:35:12Congratulations flooded the air from every direction
00:35:15Sophie
00:35:16All I want in this world is your blessing
00:35:18Will you be my bridesmaid?
00:35:20Then Olivia walked over to me
00:35:22If Olivia wants it
00:35:24Then you say yes
00:35:25Ian was silent for a moment
00:35:30I wish you both a long, happy life together
00:35:33I lowered my eyes
00:35:35Hiding the tears
00:35:36And took the drink
00:35:37The second it hit my throat
00:35:39Pain tore through me
00:35:41It felt like my insides were on fire
00:35:44This broken body of mine
00:35:46Couldn't even handle a drop of alcohol
00:35:49It's one drink, Sophie
00:35:51Do you have to look like you're dying?
00:35:59I wasn't date
00:36:00If you weren't
00:36:01Then drink to us again
00:36:04Ian's words drained the last bit of color from my face
00:36:07Every single one hit like a hammer to the chest
00:36:10And all I could feel
00:36:12Was grief
00:36:14I took a breath
00:36:15And poured myself another drink
00:36:17I forced it down through the burning
00:36:22It ripped from my throat to my stomach
00:36:24For a moment
00:36:25I couldn't tell what hurt more
00:36:26My body or my heart
00:36:28Maybe the pain was a good thing
00:36:30It helped me let him go
00:36:32I doubled over
00:36:33Just trying to endure it
00:36:36From now on
00:36:37Olivia is my fiancé
00:36:38You behave
00:36:39And I'll still look after you
00:36:41I'll treat you like a little sister
00:36:44Thank you, Ian
00:36:45I smiled bitterly
00:36:46Too bad I didn't need that anymore
00:36:49Ian
00:36:50Come take rap photos with me, please
00:36:54Go clean yourself up
00:36:55Don't embarrass me here
00:37:00Why does she look so bad?
00:37:02Is she faking it?
00:37:03What's the point?
00:37:04Even if she is
00:37:05Mr. Payne's not going to look at her twice
00:37:07Exactly
00:37:08Next to Olivia
00:37:09She's painful to look at
00:37:10Ian paused and gave me one look
00:37:12Then he walked away with Olivia on his arm
00:37:15And the whispers started up behind my back
00:37:22Ian, how's Sophie?
00:37:23Her heels clicked down the hallway
00:37:25Olivia rushed over
00:37:27Looking just worried enough to be convincing
00:37:29She grabbed Ian's arm
00:37:31He didn't even look at her
00:37:32His eyes stayed glued to the operating table through the glass
00:37:35She followed his gaze
00:37:36Saw my paper white face
00:37:38And something flickered in her eyes
00:37:39Sophie will be fine
00:37:41She cares about you too much to leave you alone
00:37:43Maybe she's just trying to scare you
00:37:45Olivia Young's voice was sickeningly sweet
00:37:48As soon as she said it
00:37:50The ER doors opened
00:37:51Who's the family?
00:37:53I am
00:37:53How is she?
00:37:55I'm sorry
00:37:56We did everything we could
00:37:57She's gone
00:38:00No
00:38:01That's impossible
00:38:02She was fine
00:38:03How could she just die like that?
00:38:08He'd never seen me like this
00:38:11In his memory
00:38:12I was always full of life
00:38:13Eight years old
00:38:15When he carried me home from my parents' funeral
00:38:17Fifteen
00:38:18When I grabbed his arm screaming I made it after my first film
00:38:21Eighteen
00:38:22Standing at my debutante ball in a white dress
00:38:25Smiling brighter than the candles
00:38:26Now every memory is cutting him apart
00:38:30What he doesn't know is
00:38:31I'm standing right behind him
00:38:33My body's still on that table
00:38:34But my mind has already floated free
00:38:36I look down at my own pale face
00:38:38The doctors scrambling around me
00:38:40The cold steel instruments glinting under the lights
00:38:43And then I see Ian
00:38:44One hand pressed against the glass
00:38:46Forehead resting on it
00:38:48Shoulders trembling
00:38:49When I was eight
00:38:50My parents died in the war
00:38:51Ian Payne
00:38:52Ten's years older me in
00:38:54I've seen him in every mood
00:38:55Gentle
00:38:56Doting
00:38:57Cold
00:38:57Disgusted
00:38:58Furious
00:38:59But never like this
00:39:01Like a mountain caving in from the inside
00:39:04I loved this man for fifteen years
00:39:06I waited my whole life to see that look on his face
00:39:09And now that it's finally here
00:39:11I don't need it anymore
00:39:12No
00:39:14She can't die
00:39:15She has to be messing with me
00:39:17I just watch him
00:39:19Even now he's still lying to himself
00:39:22He'll know the truth soon enough
00:39:29The paramedics burst in
00:39:30And slammed Ian out of the way
00:39:33He staggered back
00:39:34Helpless
00:39:35Watching them hoist me onto the gurney
00:39:37Tube down my throat
00:39:38IV in my arm
00:39:39Hands pumping my chest
00:39:41Family with us
00:39:43A doctor yelled for him to follow
00:39:45He stood there frozen for a second
00:39:46He froze for a second
00:39:48Then went after them
00:39:49Staring at my paper white face the whole way
00:39:52At the private hospital ER
00:39:54The red light blazed on
00:39:56Harsh
00:39:57Blinding
00:39:58Ian stood outside
00:39:59Covered in my blood
00:40:01He looked down at the dark stains on his shirt
00:40:04And his knees just gave out
00:40:07He sank onto the bench
00:40:08Buried his face in his bloody hands
00:40:10No sound
00:40:14But his shoulders were shaking like crazy
00:40:18The red light stayed on for what felt like forever
00:40:20Ian stood at the glass
00:40:22Staring through
00:40:23I lay on the operating table
00:40:25Tubes everywhere
00:40:27The monitor line barely flickered
00:40:29Every beat like it was taking everything I had left
00:40:32My face was white as paper
00:40:34My lips had no color at all
00:40:36My hair was spread out on the like a dead flower
00:40:41Ian, I feel awful
00:40:42She didn't get her way this time
00:40:44But what if she tries it again?
00:40:47Don't worry
00:40:48I'll handle it
00:40:52The next second
00:40:53The bodyguards forced that drugged wine down my throat
00:40:57The burn made me choke
00:40:58And I tried to spit it out
00:41:00But Ian's hand locked around my throat
00:41:04Now you know what Olivia felt
00:41:06Try anything like that again
00:41:07And I'll leave you in that war zone for good
00:41:11Then he turned
00:41:12Picked Olivia up
00:41:13And walked away without one last look
00:41:16She glanced back, smiled at me
00:41:18And mouthed
00:41:20Enjoy it
00:41:21My blood turned to ice
00:41:23Faces flashed through my mind
00:41:25Dark rooms
00:41:26Cold chains
00:41:28Men grinning down at me
00:41:32Then his voice changed
00:41:33The mockery was gone
00:41:35In its place was a tremor I'd never heard before
00:41:37I lay against his chest
00:41:39Listening to his heartbeat
00:41:40Fast
00:41:41Too fast
00:41:42I wanted to tell him
00:41:43This time
00:41:44I'm really dying
00:41:45From 8 to 23
00:41:47I loved you for 15 years
00:41:49I waited for you for 3
00:41:50I let you crush me over and over and over
00:41:52I'm tired
00:41:53I can't love you anymore
00:41:55I don't want to anymore
00:41:56But the words wouldn't come
00:41:58Blood filled my throat
00:41:59And every breath was like swallowing broken glass
00:42:03Sophie
00:42:03Sophie
00:42:04Open your eyes
00:42:05Open your eyes
00:42:08Head down
00:42:09Nails digging into my palms
00:42:11I walked to the restroom one step at a time
00:42:16Only after the door shut did I dare look up
00:42:18The woman in the mirror was grey
00:42:20Hollow eyed
00:42:22Lips cracked
00:42:23Like a walking skeleton
00:42:25I thought of how gently Ian cared for Olivia
00:42:28One cherished
00:42:29One trampled into the dirt
00:42:35I wasn't the Sophie I used to be
00:42:39That bright, fearless Sophie died in the war zone 3 years ago
00:42:48I'd barely made it out the door when the bodyguards grabbed me
00:42:51Dragged me into the lounge and threw me at Ian's feet
00:42:54Sophie, you've got some nerve
00:42:57You slipped Olivia an afrodysiac?
00:43:00I didn't
00:43:01Sophie, I know you hate me
00:43:03But this is beyond cruel
00:43:04Ruining me wasn't enough
00:43:06You had to go after my baby too
00:43:08An afrodysiac I looked up in shock and shook my head
00:43:10Olivia's voice was weak
00:43:12Her eyes welling up
00:43:13Tears spilling down her face
00:43:15Ian's face went ice cold
00:43:17His hand came up
00:43:18Smack
00:43:19The slap landed across my face
00:43:21My head whipped to the side
00:43:23My cheek on fire
00:43:24He'd never hit me before
00:43:26Never
00:43:27I couldn't believe it
00:43:30There has to be some mistake
00:43:32She was just talking to me
00:43:34She even called my name
00:43:36How could she
00:43:38Mr. Payne
00:43:39She had late stage bone cancer
00:43:42It had already spread throughout her body
00:43:44According to her chart
00:43:46She had less than a month left
00:43:47What happened today only sped it up
00:43:50What did you just say?
00:43:52Late stage bone cancer?
00:43:53What late stage bone cancer?
00:43:55Sophie Carter
00:43:56Late stage bone cancer
00:43:58Diagnosed a month ago
00:43:59It's all in her chart
00:44:00You
00:44:01Didn't know?
00:44:04Ian stood there like he'd been struck by lightning
00:44:07A month ago
00:44:08Right after I came back from the war zone
00:44:10I hid that lab report under my pillow in the hospital room
00:44:13He pulled it out, glanced at it, and threw it in my face with a cold laugh
00:44:17A fake chart
00:44:18You never change
00:44:20He said that himself
00:44:22I floated there
00:44:24Watching his face crack apart piece by piece
00:44:26Until it completely caved in
00:44:28I wanted to cry
00:44:30So he could feel regret after all
00:44:32But so what?
00:44:34What does it change?
00:44:36I don't need it anymore
00:44:43Ian's knees gave out
00:44:44He sank to the floor
00:44:45Bracing himself with both hands
00:44:47His shoulders shaking hard
00:44:49He made no sound
00:44:50But that silent collapse was more devastating than any scream
00:44:54No way
00:44:55That can't be right
00:44:56Sophie's way too young
00:44:58Late stage bone cancer?
00:45:00How?
00:45:03Ian, you know how Sophie used to do things to get your attention
00:45:07What if this is the same kind of thing?
00:45:11Ian, I just
00:45:12I just wasn't expecting this
00:45:16I need to see her myself
00:45:21He shoved past the doctor and slammed through the ER doors, stumbling inside
00:45:25Olivia froze
00:45:27Her fingers curling tight
00:45:29She bit her lip and followed
00:45:33She had to make sure I was really, truly dead
00:45:39The ER lights were still on
00:45:41That cold white glare falling over the operating table and the body beneath the sheet
00:45:46Ian stood there with his hand hovering over it
00:45:49Unable to bring it down
00:45:50He finally pulled the sheet back
00:45:52My face was exposed
00:45:54Pale
00:45:55Still
00:45:56Like wax
00:45:57My lips were drained of color
00:45:59My eyes barely closed
00:46:01And there was still drying blood on my lashes
00:46:04Ian stared at my face
00:46:06His pupils shaking
00:46:09This was the girl he had raised for 15 years
00:46:12The girl he carried home himself from my parents' funeral
00:46:15The one he used to treasure
00:46:16Afraid I'd fall
00:46:18Afraid I'd get hurt
00:46:19Mr. Payne
00:46:20Prepare yourself
00:46:22Ian said nothing
00:46:23His gaze dropped from my face to the rest of me
00:46:27There was barely a patch of skin left untouched
00:46:29A black-edged burn scar below my collarbone
00:46:32A long knife scar by my ribs
00:46:34Layered marks all over my lower abdomen
00:46:37Some already faded white
00:46:39Needle marks along my inner arm
00:46:41Bruises spreading from my wrist to my elbow
00:46:44And my left hand
00:46:45Part of my pinky was gone
00:46:46Like a branch snapped off
00:46:49Ian's breathing turned ragged
00:46:51Like something was crushing his chest so hard he couldn't breathe
00:46:55These injuries
00:46:55Some were cigarette burns
00:46:57Some were caused by heated metal tongs
00:46:59There were also knife wounds and blunt force trauma
00:47:02Based on the healing of the scars
00:47:04They were inflicted over a period of about 3 years
00:47:10There's something else
00:47:11We found signs of multiple miscarriages
00:47:15Her uterus was severely damaged
00:47:17And with the drugs in her system
00:47:19She must have suffered terribly before she died
00:47:22She had almost no will to live
00:47:24Even if we had revived her
00:47:26She only would have had a few days left
00:47:28The doctor looked at him
00:47:29Hesitated
00:47:30Then said it anyway
00:47:32Almost no will to live
00:47:34The words kept echoing in Ian's head
00:47:36He was the one who pushed me toward death
00:47:39Again and again
00:47:40Ian looked at my face
00:47:42And the room started spinning
00:47:43Those memories kept flashing through his mind
00:47:46In me, kneeling hard on the floor
00:47:48Forehead pressed to it
00:47:50Saying I was wrong
00:47:51Me begging him on the plane not to lock me up
00:47:54My face drained white
00:47:56After I accidentally ate shellfish
00:47:57The smile on my face when I said
00:48:00Thank you, Ian
00:48:02But I don't need it anymore
00:48:04And me at 18
00:48:05At my debutante ball
00:48:07In a white dress beside the cake
00:48:08Smiling brighter than the candles
00:48:10Everything went black for Ian
00:48:12He heard people calling his name
00:48:14Far away
00:48:14Like it was underwater
00:48:15Olivia's voice grew fainter and fainter
00:48:18As he fell
00:48:19His hands still reached for the operating table
00:48:21His fingertips barely touched the edge of the white sheet
00:48:24He was so close to touching me
00:48:29The moment Ian collapsed
00:48:30He seemed to see me
00:48:32I hung there in mid-air watching him
00:48:34His lips moved
00:48:35Like he was saying something
00:48:37But I couldn't hear him anymore
00:48:38I watched them take him away
00:48:41I turned to leave
00:48:42But I couldn't move
00:48:43It was like some invisible thread
00:48:46Had tied my soul to him
00:48:47I drifted beside him
00:48:49No more than an arm's length away
00:48:51But I couldn't get any farther
00:48:52I looked down at my half-transparent hands
00:48:55Then at Ian
00:48:56Lying on the floor
00:48:57Ian had a dream
00:48:59He went back to the night
00:49:00Of my 18th birthday debutante ball
00:49:02I stood in front of him
00:49:04In a white dress
00:49:05Holding a glass
00:49:06Blushing like an apple
00:49:07There was light in my eyes
00:49:09When I looked at him
00:49:11He'd seen it so many times before
00:49:15When I ran after him
00:49:17Calling his name
00:49:19When I won my Oscar
00:49:22Every single time
00:49:23I looked at him
00:49:24He just never wanted to admit
00:49:26What it meant
00:49:28Ian
00:49:29I love you
00:49:36Have you no shame
00:49:37I'm your brother
00:49:37I raised you
00:49:41Ian
00:49:42Please
00:49:42Don't leave me
00:49:44Please
00:49:52Stay in the war zone
00:49:53You can come back
00:49:54When you've killed off
00:49:55Those filthy thoughts
00:49:56He got up
00:49:57And walked away
00:49:58My crying faded behind him
00:50:00Farther and fainter
00:50:01He never looked back
00:50:03Now he stands in those memories
00:50:05Shaking
00:50:06Unable to call out
00:50:08Or come to me
00:50:09Forced to watch it all on repeat
00:50:10He did that
00:50:14Every frame of it
00:50:16I drift beside him
00:50:17Looking at his closed eyes
00:50:19The tears pooled in the corners
00:50:21I feel nothing
00:50:23Not because I'm cruel
00:50:25I've already died once
00:50:26The dead don't ache for the living
00:50:28I watch him like a stranger
00:50:31I want mom and dad
00:50:34I want Snowball
00:50:37But I still can't leave
00:50:39Some invisible tether
00:50:40Keeps me bound to him
00:50:41Like the last lock
00:50:42On my freedom
00:50:48How much longer
00:50:49Are you going to keep me trapped here?
00:50:57Find out everything
00:50:58I want every detail
00:50:59Of Sophie's three years
00:51:00In the war zone
00:51:04Ian sat on the edge of the bed
00:51:06Head down
00:51:06Hands braced on his knees
00:51:08Sunlight fell across him
00:51:10But he couldn't feel any warmth
00:51:12All he could see was me
00:51:13On that operating table
00:51:14My pale face
00:51:15The tip of my little finger gone
00:51:18Scars all over me
00:51:21That was his Sophie
00:51:22The girl he had raised
00:51:24For fifteen years
00:51:28Mr. Payne
00:51:30Sophie
00:51:30She
00:51:31Speak
00:51:32The assistant drew a breath
00:51:33And opened the file
00:51:35For three years in the war zone
00:51:36Men went into her tent
00:51:38Every day
00:51:40Refugees
00:51:40Mercenaries
00:51:41Wealthy men
00:51:42Not a single day without it
00:51:45They cut off her little finger
00:51:46On the stot
00:51:47For spilling a little soup
00:51:49In the refugee soup line
00:51:50To keep her from escaping
00:51:52They chained her up
00:51:53Every night
00:51:53She tried to kill herself with pills
00:51:56When they caught her
00:51:57They forced disinfectant down her throat
00:51:59Her vocal cords were permanently damaged
00:52:02For those three years
00:52:03She was put through hell
00:52:05Ian's fingers cleansed tight
00:52:11Ian snatched up the report
00:52:14Every word on the page cut like a knife
00:52:17He saw the words every day
00:52:19Chains
00:52:21Disinfectant
00:52:21Cut off
00:52:22Packed across it like a net closing in
00:52:24He dropped to the floor
00:52:26The report slipped from his hand
00:52:28Pages scattering everywhere
00:52:31He stared at those horrible words
00:52:33Shaking too hard to pick them up
00:52:36He opened his mouth
00:52:37But nothing came out
00:52:38The images kept flashing through his head
00:52:41Me on the plane
00:52:42Dropping to my knees
00:52:43Forehead pressed to the floor
00:52:45Terrified
00:52:45Begging
00:52:46Please
00:52:47Don't send me back
00:52:48Me at that party
00:52:49Automatically sitting in a man's lap
00:52:51And feeding him a drink
00:52:52That was how I stayed alive
00:52:54I closed my eyes
00:52:55I didn't want to watch this man regret it anymore
00:52:59I just wanted to leave
00:53:04A glass-topped ice coffin
00:53:05Stood in the middle of the room
00:53:07Under the clear lid
00:53:08I lay there quietly
00:53:09In the white dress I wore to my debutante ball at 18
00:53:12He placed the carved memorial plaques beside the coffin one by one
00:53:15Three of them
00:53:16Snowball
00:53:17Sophie Carter
00:53:18And the blank one he never named
00:53:20He didn't know why
00:53:21But he carved it anyway
00:53:24Then he knelt in front of the coffin
00:53:26His forehead against the cold glass
00:53:27His voice so hoarse
00:53:29I could barely hear it
00:53:30My soul drifted in the corner of the room
00:53:32Watching him
00:53:36Sophie
00:53:36I'm sorry
00:53:37Don't be afraid
00:53:38I'll stay with you
00:53:39Always
00:53:40Ian opened his phone and played that video
00:53:43The one where I collapsed
00:53:44He watched it once
00:53:46Then again
00:53:47Then again
00:53:49Every time his fingers clenched tighter
00:53:51Until his nails dug into his palm and drew blood
00:53:53But he couldn't feel it
00:53:56His voice was in pieces
00:53:57I drifted behind him
00:53:59Watching him punish himself with that video over and over
00:54:02Watching his tears hit the screen one drop at a time
00:54:05Suddenly
00:54:06My chest felt tight
00:54:08On the fourth day
00:54:09Ian called in his lawyer
00:54:11I drifted beside him
00:54:13And watched him sign one document after another
00:54:15His pain group shares
00:54:17Every asset in his name
00:54:19His real estate
00:54:21Funds
00:54:22Savings
00:54:22He gave all of it away
00:54:27Mr. Payne
00:54:28Are you sure about this?
00:54:30These assets?
00:54:30I'm done
00:54:31You can leave
00:54:32The lawyer hesitated
00:54:34But he said it anyway
00:54:35Ian cut him off
00:54:36The lawyer left
00:54:38I looked at the signed papers and felt nothing
00:54:41He was ruthless to me when I was alive
00:54:43Now he's giving everything away
00:54:45What's the point?
00:54:47I won't take a dime of it
00:54:48I don't want to
00:54:51Sir
00:54:52Please
00:54:53Eat something
00:54:54Mr. Payne
00:54:55The company still needs you
00:54:56You have to pull yourself together
00:54:59Out
00:55:04Get out
00:55:08On the fifth day
00:55:09Someone finally opened the door
00:55:11The maid bringing frewer took one look at Ian
00:55:13And nearly dropped the tray
00:55:14He sat beside the glass topped ice coffin
00:55:17Gaunt and hollow eyed
00:55:18His lips cracked and peeling
00:55:20Her voice shook
00:55:21He didn't look up
00:55:22Then his assistant appeared in the doorway
00:55:24And went white at the sight of him
00:55:26Ian's voice was raw
00:55:27Like it had been burned away
00:55:28The assistant tried to speak
00:55:30But Ian grabbed the glass from the table
00:55:31And smashed it on the floor
00:55:33Shards flew
00:55:40I drifted there
00:55:41Watching
00:55:42Then I saw the bottles on the nightstand
00:55:45Disinfectant
00:55:46I knew that bottle
00:55:47It was exactly the same as what they forced down my throat in the war zone
00:55:51Ian grabbed a bottle of disinfectant and twisted the cap off
00:55:54He tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth
00:55:57It spilled down his chin
00:55:59His throat convulsed
00:56:01His whole body folded in on itself
00:56:03Shaking with pain
00:56:05But he kept drinking
00:56:06Once
00:56:08Twice
00:56:10Three times
00:56:11By then
00:56:12His voice didn't even sound human
00:56:14I'm gonna feel all of it
00:56:16Every bit of what you went through
00:56:17For one second
00:56:19I was shocked
00:56:20Just one
00:56:21Then everything in me went still again
00:56:23Like dead water
00:56:24Nothing could stir it now
00:56:26I hovered in the corner
00:56:28And watched him curl up
00:56:29Shaking in agony
00:56:40The news of Olivia Young's death
00:56:42Hit the trending feeds on an ordinary morning
00:56:44One hashtag after another exploded
00:56:46Like dominoes falling
00:56:47Until that once adored name was shattered into dust
00:56:50The news kept replaying the jump
00:56:52Grainy, shaky surveillance footage from the hotel
00:56:55She stood on the rooftop in a white dress
00:56:57The exact same white dress I was wearing when I collapsed
00:57:00The wind tore her hair loose
00:57:02She stood there for a long time
00:57:04Like she was waiting for someone
00:57:07No one came
00:57:08Then she jumped
00:57:10The comments exploded
00:57:12Apologies
00:57:13Remorse
00:57:13People calling me a good person
00:57:15None of it reached me
00:57:17The people who drove me to my death
00:57:18Were the same ones mourning me now
00:57:20They just put on new faces and typed
00:57:22I'm sorry
00:57:23As if that could erase what I suffered
00:57:25It couldn't
00:57:26What they did was heavy
00:57:28Their apologies were light
00:57:30One gust of wind
00:57:31And they were gone
00:57:32My pain was carved into my bones and scars
00:57:36It would never disappear
00:57:39Do you see it, Sophie?
00:57:43Everything that was yours, I'll give back
00:57:45Piece by piece
00:57:46Your name
00:57:47Your reputation
00:57:49Your career
00:57:50Everything you lost
00:57:52I'll get it back
00:57:53Ian Payne sat beside the glass-topped ice coffin
00:57:56Phone in hand
00:57:56The screen flooded with comments
00:57:58His voice was quiet
00:57:59As if he was afraid of disturbing the person inside
00:58:02Then he turned the screen toward the coffin
00:58:05Toward that still, peaceful face
00:58:10I drifted behind him
00:58:11Listening to him talk to my body
00:58:13I said nothing
00:58:15I don't need any of it now
00:58:16My name
00:58:17My reputation
00:58:18My career
00:58:19What good are they now that I'm dead?
00:58:22Ian set down his phone
00:58:23And traced my outline
00:58:24Through the glass of the ice coffin
00:58:26Slowly
00:58:27Like he was trying to memorize my face
00:58:29I went still
00:58:30I looked at him
00:58:31There was no light left in his eyes
00:58:33It wasn't love
00:58:34It was obsession
00:58:35Heavy, twisted, suffocating obsession
00:58:36Sophie
00:58:37You're here, aren't you?
00:58:39I can feel you
00:58:40I just can't see you
00:58:41Ian Payne's voice was forced beyond recognition
00:58:44He stared into empty space
00:58:46Nowhere near where I was
00:58:47I froze
00:58:48He could feel me?
00:58:49I thought he couldn't sense me at all
00:58:52I found a spirit medium
00:58:53He can help me
00:58:54He said he can let me see you
00:58:56And bring you back
00:58:58I looked at him
00:58:59And had only one thought
00:59:01He'd lost his mind
00:59:02He really had
00:59:06The door opened
00:59:07And an old man with snow white hair and beard stepped in
00:59:11He moved so lightly it barely seemed real
00:59:13He glanced at Ian
00:59:15Then looked straight into the empty space where I was
00:59:18That look sent a chill through me
00:59:20He could see me
00:59:21Mr. Payne
00:59:23Your bond with her is over
00:59:25Ian went pale
00:59:26Then dropped to his knees with a dull thud
00:59:29Please
00:59:29I'll pay any price
00:59:31Anything
00:59:31Just bring her back
00:59:33Ian's voice was shaking
00:59:34I hovered there
00:59:35Watching him kneel
00:59:36I felt nothing
00:59:37Just this deep
00:59:39Crushing exhaustion
00:59:40I didn't want to come back
00:59:42Living hurt too much
00:59:43I'd finally died
00:59:45Finally escaped that ruined body
00:59:47I didn't want to go back
00:59:49She won't
00:59:50She doesn't want to see you again
00:59:55Please
00:59:56Tell her I know I was wrong
00:59:58I really do
00:59:59Just let her give me one more chance
01:00:01Just one
01:00:02The spirit medium heard me
01:00:03He looked right at me
01:00:04Calm and full of pity
01:00:06Ian went rigid
01:00:07Then dropped to his knees
01:00:08He stayed there a long time
01:00:10Then his shoulders started shaking
01:00:12Hard and silent
01:00:13When he spoke
01:00:15His voice fell apart
01:00:16I closed my eyes
01:00:18I didn't want to hear it
01:00:20Or see it
01:00:21Then I'll help you one last time
01:00:23He was quiet for a long time
01:00:25Then sighed
01:00:26He looked at me with something
01:00:27I couldn't name in his eyes
01:00:28He raised his hand
01:00:29And his wide sleep
01:00:30Swept through the air
01:00:31A wave of dizziness hit me
01:00:33I hadn't felt anything like it in years
01:00:35It was like riding a carousel as a kid
01:00:37The whole world spinning
01:00:38Until I couldn't tell up from down
01:00:39My thoughts began to blur
01:00:41The last thing I saw
01:00:42Was Ian's pale
01:00:43Tear-strucked face
01:00:44Fading farther and farther away
01:00:50When I woke again
01:00:51I smelled flowers
01:00:53Not disinfectant
01:00:54Not blood
01:00:55Not smoke from the war zone
01:00:57Flowers
01:00:58Faint and sweet
01:00:59Like spring
01:01:00I slowly opened my eyes
01:01:02Above me was a huge tree
01:01:04Thick-trunked and full of leaves
01:01:06Red wish cards covered the branches
01:01:08Swaying softly in the wind
01:01:10Every card had writing on it
01:01:12But I couldn't make out the words
01:01:13All I could see was the red paper
01:01:15Catching the light
01:01:16A wish tree
01:01:17I was lying beneath it
01:01:18On soft grass
01:01:19Staring up at the branches
01:01:20Unable to tell if this was a dream
01:01:23Or real
01:01:25Sophie
01:01:28Is it really you, Sophie?
01:01:31I looked at him
01:01:32Sunlight slipped through the leaves
01:01:34And fell between us
01:01:35The red wish cards stirred in the breeze
01:01:37I said nothing
01:01:38I didn't know how to answer him
01:01:41I know I was wrong
01:01:42I know I hurt you
01:01:44I'll give you anything
01:01:45Just forgive me
01:01:46I didn't understand my own heart
01:01:47Until you died
01:01:48Sophie
01:01:49I love you
01:01:50I do
01:01:51Ian took another half step forward
01:01:53His knees starting to buckle
01:01:54His voice began to shake
01:01:59Love
01:01:59I finally turned to look at him
01:02:01Hearing that word from Ian
01:02:03Made me sick
01:02:03Really sick to my stomach
01:02:05Three years
01:02:06I spent three years
01:02:07In the war zone
01:02:08Where was he when they cut off my finger?
01:02:10When they forced disinfectant
01:02:11Down my throat
01:02:12When those men came into my tent
01:02:13One after another
01:02:14When I lost the baby
01:02:16He was with Olivia
01:02:17And now that I'm dead
01:02:18He says he loves me
01:02:21Love, Ian
01:02:22You're not worthy of that word
01:02:25I was pregnant with your child
01:02:27The second year
01:02:28In the war zone
01:02:30Too bad the baby died
01:02:32The month you left me there
01:02:33You killed your own child
01:02:35Ian went completely still
01:02:36His lips started trembling
01:02:38His eyes shaking like something
01:02:39Had hit him square in the chest
01:02:41I just looked at him
01:02:42Still as dead water
01:02:43At last
01:02:44Ian Payne's knees gave out
01:02:45He dropped to the floor
01:02:47Bracing himself with both hands
01:02:48His shoulders shaking hard
01:02:50His opened like he wanted to speak
01:02:51But nothing came out
01:02:53Just ragged
01:02:54Silent breaths
01:02:55Torn up from deep in his chest
01:02:56I looked at his ashen face
01:02:58And felt nothing
01:02:59I stopped hurting a long time ago
01:03:01The pain belonged to that dead body
01:03:03Not this soul floating above it
01:03:09Even if I came back to life
01:03:11I would never be with you
01:03:12Ian, let me go
01:03:13The way you are right now
01:03:15It just disgusts me
01:03:17I paused
01:03:18My voice dropping
01:03:19Then I turned and drifted away
01:03:21I never looked back
01:03:25Sophie, wear yourself out playing
01:03:27Come eat
01:03:27I stood there
01:03:28And the tears just came
01:03:30I threw myself into mom's arms
01:03:31Laughing and crying
01:03:32She startled
01:03:33And dad came over to feel my forehead
01:03:36What happened?
01:03:37Did somebody pick on you?
01:03:38I only shook my head
01:03:39And buried my face against her
01:03:40Trembling all over
01:03:42Alright
01:03:43Let's go home
01:03:44It's your birthday today
01:03:45Then they took my hands
01:03:47One on each side
01:03:48It felt like a dream
01:03:49Sunlight fell over the three of us
01:03:51Our shadows stretched long behind us
01:03:53Joined together
01:03:54The three of us disappeared around the corner
01:03:57You gave up all your fate to buy her a new life
01:03:59Was it worth it?
01:04:00As long as she's happy
01:04:01That's enough
01:04:02Even if I'm never in her world again
01:04:04At the mouth of the alley
01:04:05The spirit medium stood with Ian Payne
01:04:07Watching the family of three disappear around the corner
01:04:09Then he turned and saw Ian's body slowly fading transparent
01:04:12Petty in his eyes
01:04:14Ian kept staring at the corner where Sophie vanished
01:04:16His face was blank
01:04:17But something flickered in his eyes
01:04:19His voice was soft
01:04:20Soft as the wind
01:04:21He paused
01:04:21And it broke for a second
01:04:22Wind swept through the alley
01:04:24Stirring a few fallen leaves
01:04:25Then Ian was gone
01:04:26The corner was empty
01:04:28There was nothing left
01:04:29Only warm sunlight on the ground
01:04:31As if nothing had happened at all
01:04:32Did he stand back on the ground without sense?
01:04:33despond alerts
01:04:35There was nothing left
01:04:37People attacked me
01:04:37For people to come
