01:25That's okay.
01:25I wasn't afraid of dying.
01:27I was just a little afraid of the pain.
01:30I heard there's some expensive medication that could make this last stretch a bit more comfortable.
01:36There wasn't enough money in my bank account, so I went to Vera's corporate headquarters in Manhattan to find her.
01:42And Liam happened to be there too.
01:45Fresh out of college, he was working as Vera's personal assistant.
01:49Vera was in a meeting, so I sat outside and waited.
01:53Liam kept staring at me, then secretly whispered to the people around him.
01:57That's the boss's husband?
01:59God, he's hideous.
02:00So skinny.
02:01He looks like death warmed over.
02:04And you guys said I look like him?
02:05Where?
02:06I'm way better looking.
02:09My reflection stared back from the gleaming glass wall.
02:12Messy hair.
02:13Buried in a baggy down jacket.
02:16Unattractive.
02:17And yes, dying.
02:19A co-worker tugged Liam's arm, whispering.
02:22That's only because he doesn't clean up.
02:23If he actually put in the effort, ten of you couldn't hold a candle to him.
02:28Also, don't get cocky just because the boss has a soft spite for you, and don't you dare provoke him.
02:34You have no idea how much the boss loves him.
02:36If you piss him off, watch your back.
02:37She will kill you.
02:41Hearing that Vera supposedly loved me, Liam scoffed and rolled his eyes.
02:46He brought me a cup of coffee, asking with a gloating tone.
02:49Noah, how can Vera stand to keep you waiting this long?
02:52That's weird.
02:53Whenever I came to see her, she'd drop everything to be with me, no matter how busy she was.
02:56She said I was what mattered most.
02:58I guess I just thought she was that attentive with all her men.
03:02He smirked, proud of himself.
03:04The way he smiled.
03:06It was just like me when I was young.
03:09I thought about it, and it was true.
03:12Vera treated Liam differently.
03:14She'd had a long line of lovers.
03:16She used them as pawns to get a rise out of me.
03:19Bringing a different man home each night to test my limits time and again.
03:24Vera never let them stick around for long.
03:26A day or two, maybe a couple of weeks.
03:29And she'd quickly grow tired of them.
03:32Except for Liam.
03:34Vera set him up in a Manhattan apartment, taking him out for meals, shopping, and movies.
03:39They were like any other couple in love.
03:42Vera gave him money.
03:44And love.
03:45I looked at Liam.
03:47If you're so important, why is Vera content to have you as her dirty little secret?
03:53You should convince her to divorce me and marry you.
03:56The color drained from Liam's face.
03:59You're the one leeching off her.
04:01You're the one who's redundant.
04:04So you knew Vera a few years before I did?
04:07Big deal.
04:08Now you're just old and pathetic.
04:10What can you possibly offer that I can't?
04:12One of his co-workers, probably worried I was about to get angry, rushed over and grabbed Liam's arm, trying
04:18to pull him away.
04:20In truth, I was fine.
04:22I'd made a promise to myself a long time ago.
04:25I wouldn't get angry over Vera, nor would I be hurt by her.
04:29And I certainly wasn't going to fight other men for her.
04:32She wasn't worth it.
04:36Liam was yanked back, lost his footing, and stumbled to the floor.
04:40The coffee cup he was holding shattered, a shard slicing deep into his palm.
04:46Blood pooled on the floor.
04:48Vera saw it all happen through the glass wall of the conference room.
04:52In front of the entire boardroom, she dropped her files, pushed through the door, and strode toward them.
04:58She grabbed Liam's hand, her brow furrowing with concern.
05:03Who hurt him?
05:05I did.
05:07And he had it coming.
05:10Fine! I deserved it!
05:12What did I expect for falling for someone I shouldn't have?
05:15To be called a homewrecker and a kept man?
05:19But Vera, as long as you love me, that's all that matters.
05:23I'll stay with you forever.
05:25Nothing can tear us apart.
05:27He looked at Vera with such raw emotion that even his absurd words sounded brave and unwavering.
05:32Vera was amused.
05:35There now. Don't be angry.
05:37It hurts me when you're hurting.
05:38She truly was different with him.
05:41I dropped my gaze, unable to be bothered to watch them.
05:44I spoke only to Vera.
05:46I want half a million dollars for my birthday.
05:49It was laughable, really.
05:51We were husband and wife, yet we didn't even have each other's personal phone numbers.
05:55Other than to ask for money, I never initiated contact.
06:00We had an agreement before the wedding.
06:02She wanted me.
06:03I wanted her money.
06:05Vera had always hated that money was all I seemed to care about.
06:09But in the past, whenever I asked, she'd give me whatever I wanted.
06:13Always more.
06:14Never less.
06:29Vera was offering half a million dollars to strip me of my pride and deliver an apology to Liam.
06:36It was the first time she'd used money to humiliate me over another man.
06:40My fists slowly clenched, and a quiet laugh escaped me.
06:45Fighting back the sudden surge of pain that washed over me, I turned and walked away.
06:51I didn't want the money.
06:53Suddenly, a question surfaced.
06:56Vera, if you ever found out that money could have bought me a little more time,
07:01that it could have eased the pain I endured before I died.
07:06I wonder what look would be on your face.
07:08I went home alone, curling up under the covers as my body shook with pain,
07:13drenching me in a cold sweat.
07:15I took a sleeping pill and told myself a lie.
07:18If I could just fall asleep, the pain would stop.
07:22Drifting in and out of consciousness, I dreamed.
07:25I was twenty again.
07:27Vera was poor, but her love for me was everything.
07:31It was my birthday.
07:32We were passing a cafe when I saw a couple sitting by the window.
07:36The boy held a pristine white cake that looked exquisite, delicious, and expensive.
07:42I remember it so clearly.
07:46Vera, look.
07:47Doesn't this look just like a cake?
07:49Vera bit her lip, pulling me into a tight hug.
07:53She held me so I couldn't see that her eyes were turning red,
07:56shimmering with unshed tears.
08:03Three days later, she was standing outside my dorm building, holding a whole cake.
08:09That cake cost $258.
08:12To earn just $50, she had to stand on a wind-whipped, snowy street and hand out 3,000 flyers.
08:19Looking at the raw, swollen sores on her fingers from the cold, my heart ached and my eyes burned.
08:26Vera, your hands are meant for books and pens, not for being ruined just to make me smile.
08:30I told her I wasn't worthy of such an expensive cake.
08:33Noah, you're the best person in the world.
08:36You deserve every good thing it has to offer.
08:38I ate the entire cake through tears that day.
08:42So much time has passed that I can no longer remember the taste.
08:46I only know that, from that day on, I don't think I've ever tasted a better cake.
08:52I must have slept for a long time.
08:54Then, through the haze, I heard my phone ringing.
08:58I answered, and her voice came through the line.
09:01Noah?
09:05Vera, it's snowing.
09:07I want a piece of cake.
09:09Before she could answer, I rolled over and sank back into a heavy sleep.
09:16I slept until the middle of the night, woken by a gnawing hunger.
09:20I went to the living room for something to eat, only to find Vera was back.
09:25She'd bought Liam an apartment.
09:27They lived there together, where he'd cook for her, make her laugh,
09:31and wait for her to come home.
09:33Vera's life was good.
09:35She hadn't been back in a long time.
09:38She was leaning languidly against the floor-to-ceiling window, her eyes fixed on me.
09:43I kept my eyes down as I walked past her, but she caught my arm.
09:47Frowning, she asked softly,
09:49Why have you lost so much weight?
09:52Her voice was gentle, as if nothing had changed between us.
09:57Vera, what the hell is wrong with you?
09:58She glanced at her empty hand, and the warmth in her expression vanished.
10:03It was only when I reached the dining table and saw a cake studded with candles
10:07that I realized the phone call hadn't been a dream.
10:10I had said I wanted cake, and Vera had bought one.
10:13What was this?
10:14A peace offering?
10:16But I was already dying.
10:18I no longer needed a cake.
10:20And I no longer needed Vera.
10:22Noah, are you fucking playing me?
10:26That's right, Vera.
10:28I am playing you.
10:30What about it?
10:33I say I want cake, and you run off to buy one.
10:37How can you still be so pathetically eager to please?
10:39I twisted the knife, watching as all traces of emotion vanished from her face,
10:44leaving it cold as stone.
10:46She seized the front of my shirt, dragged me into the bedroom, and threw me onto the bed.
10:55Vera must have snapped.
10:56Her kiss was savage, biting my lip until it split.
11:01I shoved her off me, my voice like ice.
11:05Vera, don't touch me.
11:07You disgust me.
11:09She lunged at me again, sinking her teeth into my neck.
11:13Noah, would it kill you to just give in for once?
11:17Do you have any idea how many years I've waited for you to come to me?
11:20To make things right?
11:22Do you have any idea how happy it made me when you said you wanted cake?
11:28All just to make a fool out of me?
11:30She pulled her head back and stared at me, holding back tears.
11:34My own eyes were burning, and I glared right back.
11:38In the dim room, silence stretched between us.
11:41Neither of us was willing to be the first to break.
11:45Vera leaned down, her lips just inches from mine, when her phone suddenly shattered the silence.
11:51It was Liam.
11:52Vera, are you really choosing Noah over me?
11:55I know you like me.
11:56You do.
11:57I'm at a bar.
11:58I've had too much to drink, and this girl keeps trying to get my number.
12:01I hate it.
12:02Please, can you just come get me?
12:04Vera didn't answer him.
12:05Her eyes stayed locked on mine.
12:08Noah, beg me.
12:12Beg me to stay.
12:13You just have to ask, and I won't go.
12:20She's forgotten, hasn't she?
12:22There was a time I swallowed my pride and begged her to.
12:25Vera, can't we just sit down and talk this through?
12:28Can't we stop fighting?
12:30Can't we just be happy together?
12:33Can't you be a little kinder to me?
12:35That day, Vera had looked at me coldly and said with a smile,
12:38Noah, you're not worthy.
12:42Those words have been a thorn in my side ever since,
12:45and tonight I could finally give them right back to her.
12:49I grabbed her collar.
12:51Vera, you're not worthy.
12:52Vera was silent for a moment,
12:54then let out a short, self-mocking laugh.
12:57She lifted the phone to her ear and said to Liam,
13:00Wait for me.
13:01I'm coming to get you.
13:02Without another glance at me,
13:03she stood up and walked out.
13:05The slam of the door was her only goodbye.
13:09The next day, photos of Vera in a physical brawl with another woman over Liam
13:13were all over New York's high society feeds.
13:16It was the first time one of her dalliances had exploded so publicly.
13:20A few reporters were waiting outside,
13:23and the moment I stepped out,
13:24they swarmed me with questions.
13:27Vera's company had grown rapidly in recent years,
13:30making her a powerful figure in New York.
13:33She was rich, beautiful,
13:35and a constant fixture on social media's trending topics.
13:40Noah, any comment on the situation with Vera, Kane, and Liam?
13:44One is a wife cheating on her husband.
13:46The other is a man knowingly sleeping with a married woman.
13:50What is there to say?
13:51But the story is that you dumped Miss Kane for money back when she had nothing.
13:56Then, after she made it big,
13:58you manipulated her,
13:59pulled every string you could to make her marry you.
14:03Now that she's found true love with Liam,
14:05a perfect match,
14:07you're the one clinging to the title of husband
14:08and calling them adulterous.
14:13Don't you think you're the one in the wrong here?
14:19I stopped and turned,
14:20a smirk on my face.
14:23Then I snatched the press pass hanging from his neck.
14:26He was an intern.
14:29You're a friend of Liam's, aren't you?
14:31Vera stopped at nothing to marry me.
14:33You think I actually wanted that?
14:36Everyone in our circle knows the truth.
14:38So either you're completely cluteless,
14:40or you're deliberately slinging mud to help out your friend.
14:42Color drained from his face as he snatched the pass back.
14:46Liam and I are friends, yes,
14:48but I'm a reporter.
14:49Everything I report is objective and fair.
14:52If you really didn't want to marry Miss Kane,
14:54then why won't you just divorce her now that she's found someone else?
14:58I chuckled, about to respond,
15:00when a familiar warmth trickled over my lip.
15:03A nosebleed.
15:06Fucking perfect.
15:08He says he doesn't care, but look at him!
15:10He's so worked up, he's giving himself a nosebleed!
15:13I'm not worked up.
15:14I'm sick.
15:16Dying, actually.
15:18The nosebleeds have been frequent.
15:20A sudden hush fell over the crowd.
15:22The snickering stopped.
15:23But the young reporter wasn't done.
15:26Give me a break.
15:27A little nosebleed and now you're playing the victim?
15:29I can't stand guys like you,
15:31pulling these pathetic, manipulative stunts.
15:33You're a disgrace to men.
15:34With that, he turned on his heel and left.
15:37His retreating back was just as punchable as Liam's.
15:43The video of me being swarmed by reporters went viral.
15:46Vera's response was swift and public.
15:48We will never be divorcing.
15:50Leave my husband alone.
15:52That afternoon, Liam's reporter friend was fired.
15:55Online, the comments were tearing me apart.
15:57This guy's disgusting.
15:59If he didn't want to marry her, he shouldn't have.
16:00Stop with the gun to mine head sob story.
16:03And he's supposed to be her unforgettable first love?
16:05All I see is a guy who's mastered the poor me act.
16:10The way she's defending him, not going to lie, I'm kind of jealous.
16:16He dumped her for money back then, and he married her for money now.
16:19This whole I never wanted this routine is just him trying to have it both ways.
16:22Take her money and still look like the innocent party.
16:25Then a single comment cut through the noise.
16:27All of you need to watch your mouths.
16:30If you don't know the truth, shut the hell up.
16:33What truth? What truth?
16:36Instantly, everyone was demanding to know.
16:38The story, when you get down to it, is a cruel cliché.
16:41That year, my mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness the doctors said had a high probability of being genetic.
16:48It meant not only could I get sick at any moment, but if I ever had children, I'd be passing
16:53that risk on to them.
16:55The day her illness truly manifested, it started with a massive nosebleed.
17:00She lost so much blood she was unconscious for three days.
17:03The first thing she said when she woke up was that I had to leave Vera.
17:09I stared at her, numb.
17:11Mom, she won't care about this.
17:13I said it to my mom, but really I was trying to convince myself.
17:16My mother gently took my hand and nodded.
17:18I know. She's a good girl.
17:21She paused, a soft smile on her lips.
17:24You two have been together since high school.
17:27Her on her bike, waiting for you at the corner every morning.
17:30You think I didn't see?
17:33One time, I saw her buy a bagel for your breakfast.
17:37She had twelve dollars in her pocket.
17:39The bagel was ten.
17:41With the last two dollars, she bought two coffees.
17:44One for you, one for her.
17:47You had such an appetite back then and were sweet and clueless.
17:50She'd tell you she'd already eaten and you'd believe her,
17:52happily munching on that bagel without a care in the world.
17:58She had it so tough back then.
18:00Divorced parents who didn't want her.
18:02Barely any money to live on.
18:03She was like an orphan.
18:06Twelve dollars might have been all she had for the day,
18:08and she spent it all on you without a second thought.
18:12Even back then, I knew my son had found someone special.
18:17She was a good student, a good person, good in every single way.
18:21And it's because she's so wonderful that my heart breaks for her.
18:27That same year, Vera's grandmother had also fallen ill and was in the hospital.
18:32She had been raised by her grandmother.
18:34They were incredibly close.
18:36To pay for her grandmother's medical bills, Vera was running herself ragged.
18:39My mother said that a woman's heart is a fragile thing.
18:42If Vera lost her grandmother, and then me on top of that, she might not survive it.
18:48I clenched my fists, a long silence stretching before I finally managed to speak, my voice trembling.
18:55Mom, I can't leave her.
18:59And with those words, the dam inside me broke.
19:03The memory of what happened ten years ago still carries a bitter ache.
19:07I bought some persimmons, my mother's favorite, and prepared to visit her grave for the last time.
19:13I'm dying.
19:14I had to tell her I wouldn't be coming back.
19:17But first I stopped by Vera's office to get something.
19:20Back when my mother was still alive, she adored Vera.
19:24That was before she got sick.
19:25Back when Vera and I were still deeply in love.
19:28My mother had prayed over them at church and brought back two little guardian dolls.
19:32Inside the boy doll was a slip of paper with my birthday.
19:35Inside the girl, one with Vera's.
19:38They were meant to bring safety, health, and to ensure two people in love would stay together forever.
19:45My mom told me to give Vera the girl doll, but she refused it.
19:48She insisted on taking mine, the boy doll.
19:51She said the boy doll looked just like me, endearingly goofy.
19:55She said looking at it was like looking at me, and she loved looking at me.
19:59That guardian doll had been on her desk ever since.
20:02I was afraid that after I died, she would just toss it out like trash.
20:07My mother gave it to me.
20:08I had to get it back.
20:10I wanted to leave it at her gravestone to keep her company in my place.
20:14When I arrived at her office, Vera was watching the video from this morning, the one of my nosebleed, of
20:21me saying I was dying.
20:23When she saw me, she tossed her phone aside, said nothing, asked nothing.
20:28My eyes went to the spot on her desk where the doll always sat.
20:32It was empty.
20:33I frowned.
20:34Where's my guardian doll?
20:40Oh, that?
20:41A couple days ago, I pricked my hand and Vera was so worried.
20:44She said she couldn't stand to see me hurt, so she gave it to me.
20:48She even said it looked like me.
20:50Goofy, but in a way she loves.
20:55Come on, Noah.
20:55She's got to be kidding, right?
20:57A guy this handsome looking like that ugly doll?
20:59I snapped, my fists clenching as I glared at Vera.
21:03What gives you the right to give my things away?
21:07My mother prayed over that for me.
21:09What gives you the right?
21:10Oh, was that yours?
21:11Sorry, I forgot.
21:13I thought it was just some cheap trinket.
21:16Before she could finish her sentence, I lunged and grabbed her by the throat.
21:20Vera didn't even flinch, just stared back at me, silent.
21:24Liam shoved me back.
21:26Are you insane?
21:27Attacking her over a stupid doll?
21:29He stormed out and returned a moment's later.
21:35Here's your precious doll.
21:37Take it back.
21:38It's worthless junk no one would miss.
21:40You think I actually wanted it?
21:42Now stop being a psycho, take your crap, and get out.
21:45The ceramic doll shattered on the floor.
21:49I saw the fragments scattered.
21:51My name, my birthday, broken into pieces.
21:54Just like my life.
21:56Beyond repair.
21:58I suddenly felt that maybe I really was going to die.
22:01But I didn't want to.
22:03I still hadn't seen my mother.
22:05I was afraid if I didn't show up, she would wait for me forever.
22:09My head roared.
22:10I swung, punching Liam square in the face.
22:17That was from my mother!
22:20It mattered to me!
22:21I'm the one that hurts!
22:23Before I could finish, the tears streamed down my face.
22:27I lunged for Liam again, but Vera moved to block me, shielding him with her body.
22:32My eyes burned as I stared at her, a broken laugh escaping through my sobs.
22:40I snarled.
22:41You know I'm dying and you still torture me like this?
22:46Vera, did you ever love me at all?
22:48She gently raised a hand to wipe away my tears.
22:53First the cake, now the dying act?
22:55Is this a game to you, Noah?
22:58She asked, her voice cold.
23:01You don't have to cry for me.
23:02I'm not going to feel sorry for you anymore.
23:05Before she could finish, a single drop of blood fell, landing on the back of her hand.
23:13My nose was bleeding again, this time worse than ever before.
23:18My legs gave out.
23:20A wave of pain washed over me, and I couldn't stand.
23:23I collapsed.
23:25Vera's composure finally shattered.
23:26She dropped to her knees, pulling me into a desperate hug.
23:29Call an ambulance!
23:31She was powerless, forced to watch as the blood kept coming,
23:34staining her white shirt, a deep, spreading crimson.
23:38Why won't it stop?
23:40God, make the bleeding stop!
23:43Noah, please, don't scare me!
23:48I could smell the hospital disinfectant.
23:50I heard the doctor telling Vera,
23:52He could have lived until next spring, maybe even longer.
23:55But he said he was out of money.
23:57He refused further treatment.
23:59His condition has progressed too far.
24:01At this point, further treatment would be futile.
24:04Vera's sharp retort cut through the haze.
24:07So you're telling me my husband is dying?
24:12He was fine yesterday!
24:14How could he be dying?
24:18I want him alive!
24:19Either you fix him, or you get the hell out and find someone who can!
24:23That day, Vera nearly tore the room apart.
24:25She brought in team after team of specialists,
24:28vowing to spend whatever it took to keep me alive.
24:31But a terminal illness isn't something money can cure.
24:35Vera was manic, deaf to reason.
24:38She demanded my discharge, insisting on flying me overseas for treatment.
24:43With her money and power, no one in the hospital dared to stop her rampage.
24:48That is, until Chloe, my childhood best friend, showed up, holding my will.
24:53A long time ago, I'd had it notarized, giving her final say over everything.
24:58If I ever ended up unresponsive in a bed, unable to eat or drink, she was to let me go.
25:02No heroic measures.
25:03She knew how much I hated pain.
25:07Chloe slapped Vera hard across the face.
25:10You have all this money?
25:12So where the hell were you before?
25:14Trying to throw your weight around now, Miss Kane?
25:16It's too late!
25:18He's dying!
25:22You're not taking him anywhere.
25:23He stays where I am.
25:24Vera just stared at the document in Chloe's hand, frozen.
25:28It was a long time before I heard Vera's voice again, cracked and pleading.
25:33Chloe?
25:34Please, let me take him.
25:35I'm begging you.
25:37Trust me, he can survive this.
25:38He can.
25:39He can't die.
25:40He can't.
25:41If he dies, what will I do?
25:44Chloe's gaze was steady, her voice dripping with ice.
25:46A cold-blooded woman like you would be fine without anyone.
25:50So stop the devoted act.
25:52It's pathetic and it's insulting.
25:55She pushed Vera aside and sat on the edge of my bed, taking my hand in hers.
26:01Her own tears fell the moment she spoke.
26:03You really don't want to live anymore, do you?
26:05Her crying made me feel a pang of sadness.
26:08I wanted so badly to lift my hand, to wipe her tears away and tell her not to feel sorry
26:13for me.
26:14I was just going to sleep for a very, very long time.
26:18Once I was asleep, the pain would be gone.
26:25Noah?
26:27Can you wake up just one more time, please?
26:31You're the one who always said we have to say our goodbyes properly so there are no regrets.
26:37You haven't said goodbye to your mom, you haven't said goodbye to me, how can you stand to leave?
26:43A tear escaped my own eye, sliding down my temple.
26:47The monitor next to me suddenly beeped wildly.
26:50The doctor rushed in, telling Chloe to keep talking, that I was showing signs of responsiveness.
26:56So she did.
26:57All day, she held my hand, talking, not even stopping for a sip of water, laughing in one minute, sobbing
27:04the next.
27:04It was terrifying.
27:06I'd been ready to let go and die, but with her carrying on like this, it felt almost impolite not
27:10to wake up just to tell her to calm down.
27:12I fought against my own broken down body.
27:15And sometime after midnight, I finally managed to open my eyes.
27:20For over two weeks after I woke up, Chloe was my shadow.
27:24Her devotion bordered on obsessive.
27:26She fed me, walked me to the bathroom.
27:29She nearly tried to pull my pants down for me.
27:32I was getting desperate to recover.
27:34Any more of this, and Chloe was going to go completely off the deep end.
27:38When she stepped out of the room, I decided to try going to the bathroom on my own.
27:42I could walk just fine without support.
27:44But on my way back, legs buckled.
27:46I crashed to the floor, my face slamming against the sink.
27:49Blood gushed.
27:50I struggled to my feet, accidentally tearing down the cloth draped over the mirror.
27:54I looked up and saw a stranger's horrifying face staring back at me.
27:59I was gone for five minutes to pay the bill.
28:01Where the hell did Chloe go?
28:04Useless.
28:04Stop bad-mouthing Chloe to me.
28:06I don't want to hear it.
28:07She has a life, a family, a job.
28:09She's not like me, with nothing to do all day but make trouble for her.
28:12Vera's jaw tightened, but she said nothing more.
28:16She grabbed a handful of tissues and began wiping my face.
28:20As the paper turned red, so did her eyes.
28:23She forced a calm tone.
28:25Why didn't you tell me you were sick?
28:26Do you even know how to use your mouth?
28:29Is Chloe more important than me?
28:31You tell her everything, but not me.
28:33Because I don't need you.
28:36I don't need your concern.
28:38I don't need your company.
28:39So whether you knew or not, it never mattered to me.
28:42Truthfully, I never deliberately hid it.
28:44My medical report was right there on the table.
28:47In plain sight.
28:48She never once glanced at it.
28:49During the days I grew steadily thinner, Liam entered her life.
28:53He was younger.
28:54More handsome.
28:55More charming.
28:56For him, Vera started staying out all night.
29:04So she never saw me collapse.
29:06Time after time.
29:07Writhing on the floor in agony.
29:10She never heard me crying in terror as I begged the doctor over the phone to save me.
29:15Vera's tears splashed onto the back of my hand.
29:18She turned away, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
29:21Right.
29:22You're so powerful, Noah.
29:24You get to dump me when you want.
29:25And you get to tell me to get lost when you want.
29:32I know you don't need me.
29:33Fine.
29:34Don't.
29:34A long pause hung in the air.
29:36Then her voice breaking, she added.
29:39But I need you.
29:40Vera still doesn't know the real reason I broke up with her all those years ago.
29:44The year she returned.
29:45Successful.
29:46Famous.
29:46And asked me to marry her.
29:48I knew I owed her an explanation.
29:49I had planned to tell her everything.
29:52I wanted to tell her the cruel words I'd said at our breakup were all lies.
29:58That she was amazing.
30:00That she deserved the best man in the world.
30:02A happy family.
30:04Healthy children.
30:05A life free from the weight of poverty.
30:08Untouched by sickness, I rehearsed it in my head a thousand times.
30:11Hoping I could smile and genuinely wish her a lifetime of happiness.
30:15No one knew how many nights I spent crying in the dark.
30:18The regret was overwhelming.
30:20Why couldn't I be the man who would spend the rest of his life with her?
30:23The day I finally worked up the nerve, I went to find her.
30:26She was at a private club for a business meeting.
30:29Not the ideal place for a heart-to-heart.
30:31She sounded drunk on the phone.
30:32And I was worried.
30:33So I went anyway.
30:34I called again.
30:35No answer.
30:36I had to search room by room.
30:38When I finally found her room, I looked through the small glass window in the door.
30:41And saw her kissing another man with a desperate, all-consuming passion.
30:45I pushed the door open.
30:46She turned.
30:47Her expression unruffled.
30:48My fists clenched.
30:50Are you playing me, Vera?
30:55She pushed the man aside and swayed towards me.
30:58The scent of expensive liquor clinging to her, leaning against my chest.
31:02The original plan was just to mess with you.
31:05But then I saw how pathetic your life was and I took pity on you.
31:09Noah, how about I really marry you?
31:22Hearing her say she didn't love me, the tears I'd held back for so long finally fell.
31:27I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself.
31:31The year we broke up, it was because my mom...
31:41Don't you dare bring up your mother, she hissed.
31:45Don't pin the blame on her.
31:46You're both just a couple of gold diggers.
31:48She leaned in, her breath thick with alcohol.
31:51Noah, when I say we're getting married, it's not a proposal.
31:54It's a statement.
31:56You should be on your knees thanking me.
31:58She didn't want my explanation.
32:00She wanted payback.
32:02She would make me suffer exactly as much as she had.
32:05Only then, she said, would we be even.
32:07Looking at her face, she seemed like a stranger.
32:10Maybe my mother and I had been fools all along.
32:13Maybe our kindness was just a one-sided delusion.
32:15Maybe I should have chained her to me back then.
32:17Let our miserable life drag her down
32:20until it extinguished every last spark of her ambition.
32:22The man I was back then.
32:24What an idiot.
32:25So foolish, I almost pitied myself.
32:27Then she delivered her final blow.
32:30I hear Chloe used to be a hostess.
32:32Pouring drinks for strangers, is that right?
32:36She's lucky she found a decent boyfriend.
32:39Tell me, if her new boyfriend found out about that, do you think he'd still want her?
32:43I trembled with rage, calling her shameless, despicable.
32:46She smiled, brushing her lips against mine.
32:49To get my revenge, Noah, she whispered.
32:52I'm capable of so much worse.
32:54You're welcome to test me.
32:56Vera was ruthless.
32:57I didn't dare call her bluff.
32:58I couldn't risk destroying the good life Chloe had fought so hard for.
33:02So I had to tell myself that my life was already ruined.
33:04What's a little more wrought, marriage it was.
33:08Her revenge lasted a long, long time.
33:11So long that by the time Vera grew tired of her game,
33:13by the time she wanted to reconcile,
33:16I didn't love her anymore.
33:20My face was a swollen mess.
33:22There was no hiding it from Chloe.
33:24She was furious.
33:26For two days straight,
33:27she was on my case about everything.
33:30No matter what I did,
33:31I got an earful.
33:33She finally managed to chew me out until I cried.
33:36I pulled the blanket over my head and yelled,
33:40You're impossible.
33:41All you do is pick on me.
33:42If you want a real fight, go find my mom.
33:44You wouldn't last five minutes against her.
33:45Chloe was quiet for a long moment.
33:47Then her anger gone,
33:48she simply stroked my hair.
33:51When you get better,
33:52I'll take you to see her, okay?
33:54I knew it was a lie.
33:55We both knew I wasn't getting better,
33:56but I couldn't stand the thought of worrying her more.
33:59Okay.
34:00I threw myself into recovery.
34:02I swallowed handfuls of pills.
34:04My arms were a tapestry of black and blue from the injections,
34:08but I stopped saying it hurt.
34:10Later on, my body seemed to grow stronger,
34:12but I know I will navigate the road ahead well.
34:15Let's get them into trouble now.
34:16Thank you so much.
34:16Let's go.
34:17Of course going ahead,
34:17Bye-bye.
