00:00My husband, Julian Howard, turned asking for a divorce into a show for his mistress.
00:06Julian, want to bet? Ask your wife for a divorce and she'll bawl her eyes out.
00:11So what? She's been Julian Howard's dog for a long time. She goes wherever I tell her to.
00:17He knew I shut down around most people and couldn't get the words out.
00:20He thought I'd never leave him.
00:22Then a man I'd known online for years texted me.
00:25He asked me to marry him and I said yes.
00:28Yes. Not long after, I found out who he really was.
00:35A mafia boss from Sicily.
00:44Everyone, this is Ivy Grant, the only woman I'll ever love.
00:51The next day, Julian shoved the divorce agreement in front of me.
00:55Sign it. It's just for show. Keep the girl happy.
00:58The girl my husband met was Sophia Bell. She hadn't even graduated.
01:02He'd set her up in a luxury downtown condo with a closet full of Hermes and Dior.
01:07She wouldn't kiss me or let me touch her. He kept saying she wouldn't be the other woman. I like
01:11that.
01:11He got a kick out of it, so he used our marriage to string her along.
01:16Be good. I'm just messing around with her for a month. Don't overthink it.
01:20I wasn't overthinking it. For the first time, I realized how pathetic our love really was.
01:25After I walked out of the room, I leaned against the cold wall and took out my phone.
01:30On the screen was a message from that man last night asking if I would marry him.
01:33And right now, there was only one thought in my mind.
01:36I answered, yes.
01:38The second I hit send, my heart started pounding.
01:41Soon, that man texted back.
01:43He asked me excitedly, really, Ivy?
01:47Ethan texted back almost instantly.
01:49I didn't answer.
01:50They were still talking about me in there.
01:52Man, your wife's way too obedient.
01:55How does she keep her mouth shut through all that?
01:56Want to bet?
01:57On what?
01:58I'll take her to City Hall and make the divorce official.
02:00Bet she cries her eyes out and still won't say a word.
02:02She'll sign, just like I tell her to.
02:04If she really is that obedient, drinks her on me all next month.
02:09They made my breakdown a bet.
02:11And my marriage a joke.
02:14The second I stepped outside, the sun felt blinding.
02:18Then my phone lit up with another message from him.
02:21I met Ethan in a support group for Selective Mutatasm.
02:24With that pink rabbit profile picture,
02:27I thought he was some little girl who couldn't speak.
02:34But now, he feels like the only one left who can catch me.
02:41Meanwhile, Julian was still bragging.
02:44Convinced I could never leave him.
02:46Julian, what if Ivy Grant really leaves?
02:49You're that sure?
02:49She can barely speak in front of strangers.
02:52Without me, where's she gonna go?
03:02Back at my apartment, it hit me.
03:04Sophia wasn't the first woman Julian made me cover for.
03:13The first time, he suddenly said he wanted us to act like the perfect couple.
03:18Ivy Grant, look at the camera.
03:19Smile.
03:21I was so happy that day.
03:24I was pathetic.
03:25In three years of marriage, he almost never showed me off in public.
03:28Later, I found out I wasn't in a single photo.
03:31And that post, he'd made it visible to Sophia only.
03:36The second time, he picked a fight on purpose and left me on the street.
03:40Stop it.
03:41Go cool off by yourself.
03:42Then he sent Sophia a picture of me like that, so she could laugh at me.
03:48The third time was this divorce agreement.
03:51Then Sophia messaged me.
03:53Sophia thought I was the obstacle in her love story.
03:55She had no idea.
03:57I was already out of the way.
03:58I used to be scared of conflict.
04:00Scared of letting people down.
04:01Scared I'd open my mouth and nothing would come out.
04:04This time, I blocked her.
04:07That afternoon, Julian took me to City Hall to file for divorce.
04:12Where do you want to go for our third anniversary?
04:14How about Prague Square?
04:15You were dying to feed the pigeons there when you were seven.
04:19Why are you still crying?
04:20I told you it was just for show.
04:22He sounded so familiar, like nothing had changed.
04:25Then I saw the candom slip out of his pocket, and it felt like a slap in the face.
04:29Come on.
04:30Don't keep him waiting.
04:31He didn't explain.
04:32I didn't ask.
04:33Miss Grant, are you filing for divorce of your own free will?
04:39And you confirm the marriage has broken down beyond repair?
04:42She's nervous.
04:43She doesn't talk much around strangers.
04:44Ever since we were kids, if Julian was there, I never had to speak for myself.
04:49He always answered for me.
04:51But not this time.
04:54This time, I'll say it myself.
04:57Yes.
04:59There's a 30-day waiting period.
05:00After that, both of you need to come back for it to be final.
05:03One month.
05:04For the next 30 days, we're still legally married.
05:06I can't disappear yet, and I can't go to war with him either.
05:10Julian took the receipt.
05:12The second we walked out, he snapped a photo and texted Sophia to wash up and wait for him tonight.
05:18My stomach turned when I read it.
05:19Then his message came in.
05:21He'd already booked my flight.
05:24I watched Julian smile at his phone, and suddenly I felt relieved.
05:28I finally understood.
05:30That smile stopped belonging to me a long time ago.
05:33Goodbye, Julian.
05:35This time, I'm really leaving.
05:38That night, I dreamed of Julian as a boy.
05:42Ivy Grant, your eyes are so pretty.
05:45Can I keep looking at them when I talk to you?
05:48You play so beautifully.
05:50When we grow up, I'm going to marry you.
05:53I liked him, too.
05:55We went to school together, came home together, and played rock, paper, scissors in the Howard family car.
06:01That crash took my parents, my brother, and the dog I'd had for years.
06:07It's okay.
06:08I'll practice with you.
06:10If anyone laughs at you, I'll beat them up.
06:14For a long time, I could only fall asleep with Julian beside me.
06:18Ivy Grant will be this happy forever.
06:27My phone buzzed me awake.
06:29Sophia had sent bed photos from Julian's phone, smirking at the camera.
06:34I couldn't take it anymore.
06:38I ran to the bathroom.
06:40In the panic, I accidentally called him.
06:43Ivy Grant, what's wrong?
06:47Ethan Black?
06:49The bathroom floor was freezing, and I sat there hugging my knees, crying uncontrollably.
06:55Are you crying?
06:57Sorry, I woke you up.
06:59No.
07:02I'm here if you need me.
07:03This was my second call with Ethan.
07:05Before the first one, I thought the person behind that pink rabbit profile picture was a girl.
07:09Angel was the person I got matched with in the selective mutosum support group.
07:13She hardly ever wrote back, but I knew sometimes the people who say the least need company the most.
07:18Later, I found out it wasn't some girl.
07:20It was Ethan.
07:21Did you mean it?
07:22Divorcing him and marrying me?
07:24Mm-hmm.
07:24Why me?
07:25I thought of the laughter behind that door earlier today.
07:29Come on.
07:30Without you, Ivy Grant can barely get a word out.
07:33She can cry like hell.
07:35She's still my dog.
07:36I gripped my phone till my knuckles went white, and forced out one last sentence.
07:43Because I think I'm about to have no home left.
07:49Then let this be home.
07:51One month, I'll come get you.
08:01The next day, Ethan sent me a list of everything I had to get done that month.
08:05The wildest part?
08:06Under all the serious stuff, he listed more than a dozen restaurants and swore they were all the real deal.
08:12I went down the list and tried them one by one.
08:14Living on my own didn't feel as scary as I thought.
08:17I started sorting through my things.
08:19Jewelry, bags, clothes.
08:21I got rid of what I could and packed the rest.
08:23I made a full list of everything Julian left with me over the years.
08:28I'm sending it all back to the Howard family.
08:31I also went to the hospital for a checkup.
08:33Mrs. Grant, your results are normal.
08:35You're not pregnant.
08:36Hearing I wasn't pregnant, I felt fate had finally shown me some mercy.
08:40While I was getting ready to leave, Julian kept texting me.
08:44He was off traveling with Sophia, saying he wanted to show her the world, and still expected me to wait
08:50around for him.
08:53I still had to go to City Hall for the divorce creed.
08:58For now, I had to put up with it.
09:09The night before we went to City Hall, Julian came back.
09:13Ivy Grant, you moved out.
09:16You're adorable.
09:17I told you, it's just for show.
09:19He was used to my silence on the phone.
09:22Used to deciding how I felt for me.
09:24Fine.
09:25Let's finish the act.
09:26Tomorrow, come with me to City Hall and get the divorce decree.
09:29Sorry, relax.
09:30It's just...
09:31Okay.
09:32Damn.
09:33Your wife has some nerve.
09:35Hear that?
09:36She said yes.
09:38He thought I was playing along.
09:40He had no idea I'd been waiting for this day for a whole month.
09:44Traffic was brutal.
09:45Been waiting long?
09:47Sophia probably left it there on purpose.
09:50I didn't ask.
09:51I didn't need to.
09:52Still sullering on the last day?
09:55Fine.
09:56Get the certificate today,
09:57and I've got a surprise for you tomorrow.
10:04Do you both confirm you're filing for divorce?
10:07Yes.
10:08Mrs. Grant?
10:09Yes.
10:11It went even smoother than last time.
10:14In less than five minutes,
10:15the two divorce decrees were right in front of us.
10:21I've got a surprise for you tomorrow.
10:23He still thought this was just some game to toy with me.
10:27Julian, are you free tonight?
10:28Ever since we got married,
10:29I called him Honey or my husband.
10:31I almost never used his full name.
10:33There's something I need to tell you.
10:37Sure.
10:38No matter how awful Julian's been this past year,
10:41I don't want to erase who he used to be.
10:43I'm grateful he got me through those dark nights.
10:45I want to end this the right way.
10:49And tonight,
10:51it starts raining.
10:53That stormy night was when the crash happened.
10:58I thought he'd finally come.
10:59Then the call connected,
11:00and all I heard was his friends laughing.
11:03Julian, come on.
11:04After all these years with Ivy Grant,
11:06that's basically charity, right?
11:08Charity?
11:09Please.
11:11I got sick of her a long time ago.
11:13If my mom hadn't pushed it,
11:14I wouldn't have bothered with her.
11:16And why'd you marry her so fast?
11:18Because she wouldn't let me touch her.
11:19I'm just curious.
11:21She shuts down when she gets worked up, right?
11:23So what was she like when things got intimate?
11:26Could she even say anything?
11:27So that's what I was to him.
11:29Not even a real woman.
11:31Just baggage he showed off when he wanted to.
11:33Tossed aside when he didn't.
11:36In that moment,
11:37every story teenage Julian ever told me
11:40shattered.
11:43I wanted to hide.
11:45But all I could hear
11:46was the rain,
11:48the thunder,
11:50and them laughing at me.
11:56Ivy Grant,
11:58are you crying?
12:02Don't hang up.
12:07Wait for me.
12:10I'm coming to get you.
12:16Later,
12:17I found out one headline
12:18nearly blew up Julian's bachelor party that night.
12:25Holy shit.
12:26Big news.
12:27The Black family boss is back in New York.
12:30No way.
12:32Wasn't Ethan Black overseas getting treatment?
12:35He hasn't been seen in 10 years.
12:40It's really him.
12:42Flew in overnight on a private jet
12:44with a woman in his arms.
12:46Why do you care about someone else's drama?
12:49Julian,
12:50look at her from the back.
12:52Doesn't she look like Ivy Grant?
12:59He knew me too well.
13:01My hair,
13:02my build,
13:02even half a profile
13:04was enough to rattle him.
13:07No way.
13:09Ivy Grant won't even leave New York.
13:10Go overseas?
13:12He'd never believe it.
13:13The little girl he thought
13:15was too scared to leave the house
13:16was already on another man's private jet.
13:20He still remembered
13:21I asked him to come to the apartment.
13:23He thought I'd wait for him till morning.
13:29We're sorry.
13:31The number you have dialed
13:32is not in service.
13:37Not in service?
13:39Ivy Grant changed her number?
13:43Shut up!
13:45And that mysterious woman
13:47in his arms was me.
13:52The one he said
13:53wouldn't even leave New York.
13:57After that crash,
13:59I never left New York.
14:00Any kind of travel
14:01still scares me.
14:05It wasn't until that day
14:06that I really saw
14:07Ethan Black
14:07for who he was.
14:13Do it as planned.
14:15Kill her number
14:15and send the asset records
14:16to the lawyer.
14:18Suddenly,
14:18I wondered if I'd been
14:19too impulsive.
14:20A month ago,
14:21I only said yes
14:22because I was falling apart.
14:27Want one?
14:30That familiar rabbit design
14:32took me right back
14:33to two years ago.
14:45Want me to unwrap it?
14:50The peach sweetness
14:51spread through me.
14:53For the first time,
14:55this red eye to Paris
14:56didn't feel like
14:57I was running away.
15:00When we land,
15:01get some sleep first.
15:03Everything else can wait.
15:06I really did end up
15:08living in a city
15:09where I didn't know anyone.
15:13Ethan was always busy,
15:14gone before dawn
15:16and home late.
15:18But the little things
15:19he left behind
15:20made it clear
15:21I wasn't just being
15:22parked there.
15:24Ivy,
15:25what kind of job
15:26do you want?
15:28a job?
15:30Julian never let me work.
15:37You can barely get a word out
15:38when you're nervous.
15:41What job could you possibly do?
15:43Just stay home,
15:44plant flowers.
15:47It's not like
15:48I need your money.
15:53You're French isn't there yet,
15:54but there are plenty of kids
15:56in Paris learning piano.
15:58I,
15:59can I?
16:01How will you know
16:02if you don't try?
16:04He said it so lightly,
16:06but it felt like
16:07he opened a window for me.
16:09You don't have to prove anything.
16:12I just want you to know
16:13you have a choice.
16:15It's been a long time
16:16since anyone told me
16:17I had a choice.
16:23I really did find a job.
16:25Teaching a doctor's little girl
16:27to play piano.
16:32That note is really hard.
16:34It's okay.
16:35Let's slow down.
16:41It was just a regular
16:43tooting job,
16:43but it made me happy
16:45for a long time.
16:50I wanted to tell Mia
16:52maybe I wasn't so useless
16:53after all.
17:01I already had
17:03Ethan's people
17:03send the asset paperwork
17:04back to Howard Oldhouse.
17:08Nora's handling
17:09the property division.
17:12I thought deleting
17:13my old number
17:13would buy me some peace.
17:17Ivy Grant.
17:19What the hell is this?
17:21Did someone steal your phone?
17:23If it was stolen,
17:24why didn't you get a new one?
17:25And if you did,
17:26why didn't you call me?
17:28You know my number by heart.
17:30Half a world away,
17:31and he was still talking to me
17:33like my husband.
17:35And where the hell are you?
17:38Are we doing
17:39our third anniversary or not?
17:40Say something.
17:42Where the hell are you hiding?
17:45Julian.
17:47I said his name so easily.
17:50We're divorced.
17:52How many times
17:53do I have to say it?
17:54It was just for show.
17:56What don't you get?
17:57To him,
17:58our three-year marriage
18:00was just an act.
18:01But what I felt was real.
18:05I never treated marriage
18:06or divorce like some act.
18:19I used to be terrified
18:21of making him angry.
18:23The frown,
18:24the cold look,
18:26and becoming that
18:27silent little girl again.
18:29Now I just think it's noisy.
18:36Ivy Grant really blocked you?
18:39She wouldn't dare.
18:41He was always that sure.
18:43Sure I'd couldn't live
18:44without him.
18:45Sure I'd come back.
18:47Sure I'd never get away
18:48from him.
18:51What if she really ran off
18:53with that guy from the airport?
18:55Say that again?
18:57Even now,
18:58he still didn't believe
18:59I'd really left.
19:02He was too used to thinking
19:03I'd never fly away.
19:07He didn't know that to me
19:09he was just a bird in a cage.
19:22A new place really does
19:24make it easier to breathe again.
19:27Ethan and I have been talking
19:29for over two years.
19:32Once the awkwardness passed,
19:34I realized
19:35I know him really well.
19:42A puppy!
19:48Is it yours or a friend's?
19:50It's so cute.
19:53It's for you.
19:58I...
19:59Can I?
20:00Julian never let me have a pet.
20:02He said the house would end up
20:03covered in fur and smell.
20:06Why not?
20:08I was going to have a dog
20:10of my own again.
20:12I brought you a little cake.
20:18My first dog
20:19was a birthday gift
20:20from my parents
20:21and my brother.
20:23Back then,
20:24I thought seeing a puppy
20:26could make all my worries disappear.
20:32Little sister,
20:33there's frosting on you.
20:37Little sister?
20:41I used the wrong name.
20:43I let my guard down.
20:46I actually said
20:47what I'd called
20:48that pink rabbit profile picture
20:50two years ago.
20:53You used to call Angel that too.
20:57I didn't know you were a guy back then.
20:59And after that,
21:01you barely talked to me.
21:03I did pull a waif on purpose.
21:05I was still Julian's wife then.
21:10Ivy Grant,
21:12aren't you forgetting something?
21:14What?
21:16You said you'd marry me.
21:20I sent that yes
21:21when I was at my lowest.
21:23But Ethan never treated it
21:24like a joke.
21:32When are we going to City Hall?
21:37Today or tomorrow?
21:40That kiss left me dizzy.
21:42One practical thought
21:44was all I had left.
21:46Today,
21:47it's too late.
21:48Then tomorrow.
21:50The next day,
21:51Ethan really took me
21:52to City Hall.
21:54Please confirm
21:55that this marriage
21:56is voluntary.
21:59is going to marry.
22:00He's asking
22:00if you'll marry me.
22:05I do.
22:08I never thought
22:09I'd say those words
22:10to anyone else.
22:12But this time,
22:13I meant them completely.
22:17I was nervous,
22:18but even more excited.
22:20People like us
22:21recognize each other.
22:23Deep down,
22:24I knew Ethan
22:26wasn't a mistake.
22:31Hello?
22:33So you really did
22:35go to Paris.
22:36Throwing a tantrum now?
22:38It's been a month.
22:39You done yet?
22:41Julian,
22:42stop interfering
22:43in my life.
22:44Your life?
22:45What life
22:46do you even have?
22:47To him,
22:48I never had
22:49a life of my own.
22:51I was just
22:52Julian Howard's wife.
22:54An accessory.
22:56Don't think
22:57I don't know.
22:58You went to Angel,
23:00didn't you?
23:02She's just some
23:03candy-obsessed kid,
23:04and you're dragging
23:05her into this, too?
23:09He had no idea
23:10who was behind
23:11Angel's profile picture,
23:13or whose wife
23:14I'd just become.
23:16None of that
23:16is your business.
23:17I'm your husband.
23:19If it's not my business,
23:20whose is it?
23:22Ex-husband.
23:27I knew Julian
23:28had really crossed
23:29a line this time.
23:31And crossing
23:32a Sicilian mafia boss
23:33doesn't end
23:34with a block.
23:40That night,
23:41my phone filled up
23:42with screenshots
23:43from friends.
23:49Julian probably thought
23:50I'd come running back
23:51out of jealousy.
23:54The second I hit send,
23:55I didn't hesitate.
23:57three years of marriage
23:58ended with that one line.
24:02Everyone else saw it
24:02long before I did.
24:04I was the only one blinded
24:05by our shared childhood history.
24:11You're really sending that
24:12to her friends?
24:14That gets to her
24:15every time.
24:18He thought I was still
24:20that stupid girl
24:21who'd lose her mind
24:22seeing him show off
24:22with another woman.
24:26He had no idea.
24:28Once your heart's dead,
24:29you stop caring.
24:32when Mia sent me
24:33the screenshot,
24:34I just thought
24:35he was insane.
24:47We're going back
24:48to New York.
24:50Now?
24:52Our marriage certificate
24:53needs legal certification
24:54here.
24:55And I want you
24:56to meet some family.
24:58The words
24:59some family
25:00made my heart skip.
25:02I...
25:03Am I ready for that?
25:05Ivy Grant,
25:07there's nothing
25:08you can't do.
25:09A good relationship
25:10really can move you forward.
25:13Unlike the day
25:14we left
25:15in the pouring rain,
25:17New York welcomed us
25:18back with bright sun.
25:21That was when
25:22I finally learned
25:22who Ethan Black
25:23really was.
25:25Twelve years ago,
25:26a black family
25:27mafia war
25:28dominated the tabloids
25:29for months.
25:32No one expected
25:33the last man standing
25:34to be a kid
25:35who never finished college.
25:38Even less
25:39that he'd vanish
25:39overseas for years.
25:43I have to take care
25:44of something
25:44in my territory.
25:47I'll have a car
25:48take you to Nora.
25:52I had one last thing
25:54to settle with Julian.
26:01Miss Grant,
26:02your personal assets
26:03have been handled
26:03as requested.
26:08These still need
26:09your signature.
26:10You can take
26:11the original contracts
26:12for the properties
26:12that have already been sold.
26:15Thank you.
26:18But a few of the properties
26:20are material property.
26:21Under the divorce agreement,
26:22you and Mr. Howard
26:23split them equally.
26:26He's refusing
26:27to cooperate?
26:29Yes.
26:30He claims the divorce
26:31wasn't real.
26:34The divorce is right there
26:35in black and white
26:36and he still acts
26:37like it doesn't count.
26:39He really does
26:40live in his own world.
26:45Julian won't accept
26:46the legal reality
26:47because he can't accept
26:48that I left him.
26:51We can move
26:52to enforce it
26:53but that will take time.
26:55You won't be
26:56in the States long
26:57so I suggest
26:59speaking with him first.
27:02I'll set it up.
27:05After I blocked him,
27:06he kept making
27:07new accounts
27:08and messaging me
27:09every day
27:10with some new angle.
27:22get him back,
27:23apologize,
27:25he'll probably
27:25never understand.
27:29I wasn't going
27:30to that gala for him.
27:32I was going to
27:33end it for good.
27:37He refused to cooperate
27:38on property division
27:40but somehow thought
27:41I was asking him
27:42to get back together.
27:45If he keeps refusing,
27:47we move to enforcement.
27:49Understood.
27:50Don't let him
27:50pull you in.
27:52This time,
27:53I didn't explain.
27:54I didn't get angry either.
27:56Some people
27:57don't understand words.
27:58They only understand
27:59consequences.
28:04All this is for me?
28:07Mr. Black sent it over.
28:09He said to take your time.
28:12Ethan said we were
28:13just meeting
28:13a few friends
28:15but this was
28:16way too much
28:17for a casual dinner.
28:27Julian always told me
28:28not to speak.
28:29Just smile.
28:31Ethan tells me
28:32to look at him
28:33and speak for myself.
28:38You're checking
28:39her messages again?
28:42She'll be there tomorrow.
28:45What if she doesn't show?
28:48She won't dare.
28:52He was always that sure.
28:54Sure I couldn't leave him.
28:55Sure I'd come back.
28:57Sure I'd never get out
28:58from under his thumb.
29:01I slept half the day away.
29:04When I woke up,
29:05I had two hours left
29:06before the gala.
29:08You look beautiful,
29:10Mrs. Grant.
29:13This wasn't for Julian.
29:15It was for me.
29:17So when I stood beside Ethan,
29:18I wouldn't hide.
29:27My gut told me
29:28it was Julian.
29:31When the driver stopped,
29:32I realized
29:33it was the same hotel
29:34Julian sent me yesterday.
29:46Ivy Grant.
29:49Come on.
29:50I knew you'd show up.
29:51He thought I showed up
29:52dressed like that
29:53because I'd finally caped.
29:55Keep up.
29:57Fine.
29:58I'll apologize first,
29:59okay?
30:00So you just don't like
30:01Sophia?
30:02Fine.
30:03I'll stop seeing her,
30:04okay?
30:05Listen to him.
30:06So casual.
30:07Cheating,
30:08humiliation,
30:09emotional abuse.
30:11He says it like it's no bigger
30:12than not liking cilantro.
30:15You've got it wrong.
30:17You're so petty.
30:19She didn't even do anything
30:20to you.
30:21That used to shut me down.
30:23Now I just want to settle
30:24the property and leave.
30:28Well,
30:29look who finally came back.
30:31Julian's the man.
30:32The sweet little good girl
30:33had to go play runaway.
30:37You brought her
30:38with this many people here?
30:40What if she frees up
30:41and embarrasses you?
30:45They thought I couldn't hear them.
30:48Every word cut.
30:51This is how I learned
30:52to shut myself away.
30:53Get lost.
30:58At least you had the sense
30:59to dress up
30:59before showing up.
31:04Stay behind me.
31:05No matter what happens,
31:07don't talk.
31:07Just smile.
31:09Got it?
31:10I'd heard that for years.
31:11Don't talk.
31:13Just smile.
31:14Like I wasn't his wife.
31:16Just something to hide
31:17and display.
31:20Julian,
31:21I didn't come here for you.
31:23Come on,
31:23stop pretending.
31:24If not for me,
31:25then who?
31:30At that moment,
31:32I suddenly understood
31:33why he was here.
31:35he wasn't here
31:36as a guest.
31:38He was here
31:39to take me away.
31:45This wasn't Ethan's turf,
31:47but everyone in the room
31:48had formed
31:48a half circle around him.
31:55Mr. Black,
31:56it's an honor
31:57to have you here
31:57with the Howard family.
32:00You're too kind,
32:01Mrs. Howard.
32:06see the guy in the middle?
32:08My mom worked hard
32:09to get him here.
32:11The big shot
32:12he was talking about
32:13was my legal husband.
32:16And there he was,
32:18idiotously coaching me
32:19on how to suck up
32:20to someone else's wife.
32:22His wife's coming later.
32:23behave yourself.
32:24Don't embarrass
32:25the Howard family.
32:28Three years of marriage,
32:30and this was my first time
32:31meeting the whole no.
32:33The entire Howard family.
32:36Come on.
32:38Take my hand.
32:42Before,
32:42I would have handed him
32:44my hand
32:44without a word.
32:56Julian,
32:56what are you doing?
32:58I told you not
32:59to start anything.
33:00Happy now?
33:03First time
33:03meeting the family,
33:04and this is how
33:05you make an impression?
33:11Mr. Black,
33:12has Mrs. Black arrived?
33:14should I go
33:15welcome her?
33:17You heard him,
33:18didn't you?
33:19His wife's about
33:20to arrive,
33:21and you...
33:22Ivy Grant.
33:30Come here.
33:34Everyone in the ballroom
33:35was watching me.
33:37And for the first time,
33:38I didn't have to
33:40hide behind anyone.
33:45in that moment,
33:46my back was slick
33:48with cold sweat.
33:52You know Mr. Black?
34:01Let me introduce you.
34:07Ivy Grant,
34:08my wife.
34:11Those five words
34:12hit harder
34:13than any comeback.
34:14I watched Julian's face
34:15go from smug
34:16to shocked
34:17to dead white.
34:22Every powerful person
34:23in that room
34:23was staring at me.
34:27Before,
34:27a room like this
34:28would have left me
34:29unable to speak.
34:34Anything you want to say?
34:37I remembered
34:37what he told me
34:38in Paris.
34:40nothing was off-limits.
34:44Mrs. Howard?
34:46Julian and I
34:46have been divorced
34:47for a long time.
34:48I don't know why
34:49he never told you.
34:52Julian,
34:53I never believed
34:53marriage and divorce
34:54were something
34:55you play at.
35:01There's no future
35:02for us.
35:04None.
35:06I'm Ethan Black's wife now.
35:08I have nothing to do
35:09with the Howard family anymore.
35:11When I finished,
35:12I wasn't shaking.
35:13I hadn't lost my voice.
35:15When you truly
35:16let someone go,
35:17even your voice
35:18stays steady.
35:23my wife likes peace
35:25and quiet.
35:26And I protect
35:27my own.
35:29Protective?
35:30Julian never said
35:31that to me.
35:32When people laughed
35:33at me,
35:34he joined in.
35:37After tonight,
35:38no one bothers
35:39my wife again
35:40in any way.
35:42Mrs. Howard,
35:43have I made myself clear?
35:44Yes.
35:45Perfectly clear.
35:47No.
35:48That's impossible.
35:51Ivy,
35:52tell me this isn't real.
35:54Impossible?
35:55When he asked me
35:55for a divorce to my face?
35:57It's too late now.
35:58It is.
36:01Mr. Howard,
36:02keep your hands to yourself.
36:04Shut up.
36:05You can't afford
36:06to cross him.
36:07Julian finally hears it.
36:08It isn't that
36:09I can't leave him,
36:10but that he can't afford
36:11to offend the people
36:12beside me.
36:20You made this
36:21big a scene
36:23just to keep him
36:24away from me?
36:27Not just that.
36:29You look beautiful
36:30tonight.
36:38The kiss is possessive,
36:40but gentle, too.
36:44I close my eyes
36:45and hear my heart beat
36:46more clearly than ever.
36:49Ivy!
36:52As the elevator doors
36:54slowly close,
36:55I watch Julian's face
36:56shift from anger
36:57to despair.
36:59And for the first time,
37:00I don't have to look back.
37:07What do you want?
37:12Ivy Grant,
37:13you can't go with him.
37:14You're mine.
37:17Ex-wife.
37:19I said those two words
37:20with perfect clarity.
37:22I used to barely get
37:23a full sentence out
37:24in front of him.
37:26Now he doesn't get
37:27one word more.
37:32We said this was just
37:33for show,
37:33didn't we?
37:34Mr. Howard,
37:35legal documents
37:36aren't toys.
37:44He did it on purpose.
37:46He wanted Julian
37:47to see whose wife
37:48I am now.
37:53have you lost
37:54your mind?
37:56Since when is she
37:57Mrs. Black?
38:00Mrs. Howard
38:01was finally rattled.
38:03She used to look
38:04down on me,
38:05thought I wasn't
38:06good enough
38:06for her son.
38:08Now,
38:09I'm out of her league.
38:12No.
38:13It's fake.
38:15It has to be.
38:16We found the registration
38:17record at Paris City Hall.
38:18It's real.
38:20Hand over your phone
38:21and laptop.
38:22Now.
38:23Mom!
38:27You go near
38:28Ivy Grant again
38:30and the Howard family
38:31is finished.
38:33The Howard saw it
38:35more clearly
38:35than Julian.
38:37They knew crossing
38:38the Black family
38:39wasn't something
38:39a simple apology
38:40could fix.
38:45And I finally
38:47didn't have to pay
38:47for this man's
38:48stupidity anymore.
38:50After we left
38:51New York,
38:52Ethan took me
38:52back to Polemmo.
38:54You already have
38:55a foreign marriage
38:56certificate.
38:57We can do
38:57legal certification
38:58or you can
39:00register again here.
39:02Register it here.
39:05Legal certification
39:06is a hosser.
39:07This is more direct.
39:09So I got another
39:10marriage certificate.
39:12This time,
39:13there was no pretending.
39:14Mrs. Black,
39:15keep it safe.
39:16No humiliation
39:17and no one waiting
39:19to laugh at me.
39:20Welcome home,
39:21Ivy Grant.
39:23The rumors were true.
39:25Ethan was the Black
39:26family's eldest son
39:27and grandson.
39:29His mother died young
39:31and his father died
39:32of sudden heart failure
39:33when Ethan was 18.
39:36He'd been on his own
39:37for a long time.
39:40The uncles who used
39:41to watch him
39:42like hawks
39:42are nothing
39:43but polite now.
39:48Congrats, Ethan.
39:50Your first love
39:51finally came through
39:52after all these years.
39:58That joke stayed
39:59with me for a long time.
40:02We'd been married
40:02for half a week
40:04and he really
40:05hadn't touched me.
40:08What's on your mind?
40:11Nothing.
40:16You always grab
40:17the blanket
40:17before you lie.
40:20He remembered
40:21so many of my
40:22little habits.
40:23Rabbit candy,
40:24the dog,
40:25little cakes,
40:26the lilac bedding,
40:28even the tulips
40:29I said I liked
40:30in the yard.
40:36I just wanted
40:37to give you time
40:38to let me in.
40:42I do like you,
40:43Ethan.
40:46Not because
40:47you took me away
40:49or because
40:49you can protect me.
40:51It's because
40:52with you
40:53I can talk
40:54or not talk
40:56and it's okay
40:57either way.
41:00that night
41:01the old world
41:03finally stayed
41:04outside the door
41:04but things
41:06don't always
41:07go your way.
41:16Don't read it.
41:17The more you push back
41:19the worse they get.
41:20But they're
41:20trashing you.
41:22I don't live
41:23by common sections.
41:24He really didn't care
41:26but I did.
41:28Inside were Julian
41:29and Sophia's
41:29chat logs,
41:30bed photos,
41:31a recording of him
41:32humiliating me
41:32while drunk
41:33and every harassing
41:34message he sent.
41:38In three days
41:39we'd be back
41:40in Paris.
41:42I thought
41:43that would be
41:43the end of it.
41:52Yeah,
41:53my wife and I
41:53grew up together
41:54for over 20 years.
41:55you think
41:56that just
41:56disappears?
42:01Look at this photo.
42:05Was Ivy Grant
42:06even conscious
42:06that night?
42:07She has
42:08selective mutism.
42:11When she breaks
42:11down
42:12she can't speak.
42:13So you think
42:14Black took
42:14advantage of her?
42:16It's not a suspicion.
42:17It's a fact.
42:20He got close
42:21to my wife
42:21over two years ago.
42:24posing as a little girl.
42:28He used her condition
42:29and tricked her
42:30into leaving the country.
42:32He's a sicko.
42:38A sicko?
42:40Ethan never used
42:41my condition
42:41or treated me
42:42like a burden.
42:43Julian Howard did.
42:47He finally dragged
42:48Angel into this too.
42:50After the crash
42:51all those interviews
42:52traumatized me
42:53all over again.
42:54In front of cameras
42:55I often couldn't
42:56get a word out.
43:05I'm seeing my wife
43:06today
43:06no matter what!
43:14But when you're
43:15trying to protect
43:15someone
43:16fear starts
43:17to fall away.
43:18Not this time.
43:20I'm done hiding.
43:21I'm going to show
43:22everyone
43:23who's lying
43:25and who's
43:26really using who.
43:34Ivy Grant?
43:39I'd held back
43:40that slap
43:41for three years.
43:44Ever since
43:45he left me
43:46on the street
43:46and brought
43:46another woman home.
43:49I've wanted
43:49to knock
43:50some sense
43:50into him.
43:53Julian Howard
43:53look at you.
43:56What made you
43:56think I'd
43:57never leave you?
44:04And what gave
44:05you the nerve
44:05to slander people
44:06and spread lies?
44:13I used to think
44:13what we had
44:14growing up together
44:15would bring him
44:15back.
44:16Now I know
44:16better.
44:17you can't wake
44:18someone pretending
44:18to sleep.
44:20Take a good look.
44:21Stop ruining
44:22what we had.
44:25Is this proof
44:26he cheated on her
44:27during the marriage?
44:33Stop filming!
44:34Stop!
44:39Redemption?
44:40Bullshit.
44:41I was sick
44:42of her years ago.
44:44He thought
44:44those words
44:45would stay hidden.
44:46He had no idea
44:47I recorded them.
44:49I want everyone
44:50to hear how the man
44:51who swore he loved me
44:52really talked about me
44:52behind my back.
44:55Wasn't this what you
44:56wanted to see?
45:00Then let everyone hear it.
45:06I didn't cry.
45:07I didn't smile.
45:10I just felt the weight I'd
45:11carried for three years
45:13finally lift.
45:17She loses her voice
45:19whenever she gets emotional.
45:20But when it really matters,
45:22can she speak up then?
45:30that's not what happened.
45:31I was drunk.
45:38Being drunk just shows
45:39who you really are.
45:42I held that in
45:43for three years.
45:44I couldn't say it before.
45:45Now I'm saying it
45:46to his face
45:47in front of everyone.
45:50Julian and I
45:51are legally divorced.
45:53Ethan Black and I
45:54are legally married.
45:58Every piece of evidence
45:59here is going to my lawyer.
46:03Keep spreading lies
46:05and you'll get served too.
46:08Even I was stunned
46:09after I said it.
46:11Mr. Howard,
46:12what you said earlier
46:13doesn't match the evidence.
46:15The girl who used to go silent
46:17in front of strangers
46:18was finally gone.
46:20Cut the live stream!
46:21Shut it down!
46:23But he doesn't get to
46:24call time out
46:25and make this stop.
46:27Three years of humiliation
46:29doesn't disappear
46:30because he says
46:31stop making a scene.
46:33The clips where he smeared me
46:35were gone.
46:36What spread instead
46:38were his chat logs
46:39with Sophia.
46:40I looked at those
46:42vile messages
46:42and felt no hate.
46:44Only relief.
46:47He was finally
46:49out of my life for good.
46:54Are you hurt?
46:57No.
46:59Did they scare you?
47:02A little.
47:07Sophia got exposed fast.
47:15She lived in Julian's mansion,
47:17wore the designer clothes
47:18he bought her,
47:19and still played rich girl
47:21in another crowd.
47:23Miss Bell,
47:24did you knowingly take money
47:25and gifts from a married man?
47:28Move.
47:34It's all here.
47:35Their underground business,
47:37smuggling channels,
47:38and money laundering network
47:39with the Howard family.
47:42Cut all ties.
47:45Even the deals we've already lined up?
47:49Yes.
47:51Ethan never punished people
47:53for someone else's mess.
47:54But Julian smeared his name
47:56and mine.
48:02Julian did this.
48:04Ivy Grant,
48:06we didn't keep Julian in check.
48:07For old times' sake,
48:09Mrs. Howard,
48:12you're right.
48:13You did take care of me for years.
48:19But little by little,
48:21you pushed me to turn my parents' business
48:23over to the Howard family.
48:25I never owed you anything.
48:28I'd said those words to myself
48:30countless times.
48:32Today,
48:33I finally said them out loud.
48:35The Howard family did take me in.
48:39They also swallowed my parents' inheritance.
48:43Ivy,
48:44we've already locked Julian up.
48:47he won't ever.
48:50That's your family's business.
48:55My lawyer will keep handling
48:57the property division.
48:58The Howard family will cooperate.
49:04When I said it,
49:05I didn't shake.
49:07I didn't lose my voice either.
49:11Mom,
49:12are you really kicking me out?
49:13Starting today,
49:14all your cards are cut off.
49:16The company is taking back
49:17everything in your name.
49:19Go get a job.
49:20If you can't live with the consequences,
49:22don't come back.
49:23Seeing him like that,
49:24I felt nothing.
49:25No pity,
49:26no satisfaction.
49:27Just one thing.
49:28He was finally nothing to me.
49:31The Howard family's
49:32spoiled younger son,
49:33who once thought nothing
49:34of a million dollar suit,
49:36finally learned what it's like
49:38to have no one behind him.
49:41We were getting ready
49:42to go back to Paris,
49:43just like we'd planned.
49:4720 minutes.
49:51Ivy Grant!
49:52Julian came out of nowhere.
49:58Julian Howard was on his knees
50:00in front of me,
50:01covered in mud.
50:04Once,
50:04I would have helped him up.
50:06Now I just felt calm.
50:10Ivy Grant,
50:11please don't go.
50:17Just hear me out.
50:19There have been too many
50:20misunderstandings between us.
50:22Sophia made that call to you.
50:23I had no idea.
50:29I was drunk and talking crap.
50:31I never thought you were a burden.
50:36Just hear me out.
50:37There have been too many
50:38misunderstandings between us.
50:40Sophia made that call to you.
50:41I had no idea.
50:42I was drunk and talking crap.
50:44I never thought you were a burden.
50:48I married you because I really loved you.
50:50I never really wanted the divorce.
50:51Love me?
50:52Enough to ask for a divorce to my face
50:53and to fool around with another woman?
50:54Enough to turn my selective mutism
50:55into a joke for your friends?
50:57I can't take that kind of love.
51:00I was going to propose to you
51:01again the next day.
51:05Everything just went wrong.
51:07I used to think leaving him
51:09would destroy me.
51:11Now I know leaving the wrong person
51:13is where life really begins.
51:18Right.
51:19None of this is your fault.
51:23Someone else slipped that condom
51:25into your pocket.
51:29Someone else put you in that bed.
51:32And all those
51:33gracing, humiliating things
51:34you said to me
51:35must have been a demon talking.
51:39Ivy Grant, I know I was wrong.
51:41No.
51:42You're not sorry.
51:45You just realized I really left you.
51:49I'd wanted to say that for a long time.
51:52He didn't love me.
51:54He was just used to me
51:56revolving around him.
51:58now that I stopped
52:00he's panicking.
52:03You thought I'd never leave.
52:07So you looked down on me
52:09ignored me
52:10treated me like I was nothing.
52:12Mocking me
52:13tearing me down
52:15that was the only way
52:16you could feel like somebody
52:17wasn't it?
52:21The Howard family had two sons.
52:24Adam took over the family business.
52:27Julian just drifted through life.
52:30I used to think
52:31marrying my childhood sweetheart
52:33meant happiness.
52:35Now I know
52:36if you choose the wrong person
52:37your whole life
52:39becomes misery.
52:44The only thing
52:45you've ever had to brag about
52:47is that you once stood
52:48by a wounded little girl
52:50but then you turned her trust
52:51into a leash.
52:54The suitcase handle
52:55slipped from his hand.
52:56Just like us
52:57it finally came loose for good.
53:05Let go.
53:06We grew up together.
53:07Don't make this any uglier.
53:09Just give me one more chance
53:10okay?
53:10This time I swear I...
53:12You're disgusting.
53:15I thought saying that would hurt
53:16but when I finally did
53:18all I felt was relief.
53:21Let's go Mrs. Black.
53:27That was the last time
53:28I ever saw Julian.
53:35Later
53:35my piano class grew
53:37from one student
53:37to two
53:38then four.
53:40Pretty soon
53:40I had a small group.
53:44French still gives me
53:45a headache sometimes
53:46but I can handle
53:48everyday conversation now.
53:57Ethan
53:58aren't you going to tell me
53:59about Angel?
54:03I finally understood.
54:06Angel was Ethan's
54:07little sister.
54:08Ten years younger
54:10and she loved pink rabbits.
54:12She always said
54:13she came from rabbit planet
54:15to save the world.
54:17Ethan said I came
54:18from his rabbit planet too.
54:23That's when I understood.
54:25Ethan never had
54:26selective mutism.
54:28Angel did.
54:29He stayed in that
54:30support group for years
54:32under her name
54:32and profile picture
54:33just to see more
54:35of the world for her.
54:37She was scared
54:38of becoming a burden
54:39to Ethan.
54:41The servants abused her.
54:43Kids at school
54:44bullied her.
54:45but in every note
54:46she said she was fine.
54:49I cried
54:50because I knew
54:51that feeling too well.
54:54Being so afraid
54:55of becoming a burden
54:56you can't even admit
54:58you're hurting.
55:06When the war ended
55:08all that was left
55:09for me
55:11was her cold body
55:12at the bottom
55:12of the lake.
55:18then you added
55:19her account
55:20and messaged her
55:20every day.
55:21At first I thought
55:22you were too loud
55:25but then I kept thinking
55:28if you'd come along
55:29ten years earlier
55:31maybe she'd have
55:32had a different ending.
55:34Ivy
55:35are you the gift
55:36she left me?
55:38Did she forgive me?
55:42she never blamed you.
55:45She was an angel
55:46sent to save the world.
55:48She saved you
55:49and she saved me too.
55:54Ivy
55:55I love you.
55:58I used to think
55:59I'd spend my whole life
56:00hiding behind other people
56:03barely able
56:04to get the words out.
56:07but now I know
56:07the luckiest thing
56:08in life
56:10is loving someone
56:11who holds you
56:12like you're precious.
56:29Thank you, Ethan.
56:32Thank you for helping me
56:33find my voice again.
56:34Thank you.
56:34Thank you.
56:34Merci.
