00:00:32No, she's not getting a dime of the Grant family's assets.

00:00:40He holds up a report in front of my face. It states that he isn't my biological son.

00:00:45Viola leans down and whispers viciously in my ear.

00:00:48Fifteen years ago, right here in this hospital, your husband switched Adrian with your biological son.

00:00:54My eyes widen as I struggle desperately in the hospital bed, but Viola refuses to let me go.

00:00:59She grabs my hand and holds me down. Her voice is soft, but every single word cuts deeper than a

00:01:04knife.

00:01:04I killed your biological son the day he was born. Thank you for raising the child your husband and I

00:01:09had together.

00:01:10Only then does she let go of my hand. Overwhelmed by rage and shock, my vision starts to go black.

00:01:15I can no longer breathe on my own. Adrian pulls out my oxygen tube.

00:01:20Goodbye, Aunt Evelyn.

00:01:22Agonizing pain tears through my chest as I slowly lose consciousness, consumed by resentment.

00:01:28Suddenly, a piercing alarm rings through my ears.

00:01:31I snap my eyes open and find myself lying on a delivery bed with the fetal monitor beeping steadily beside

00:01:37me.

00:01:38Mrs. Grant, you're five centimeters dilated. Hang in there. You're doing great.

00:01:42A wave of pain suddenly tears through my abdomen. I grip the sheets tightly and realize that I've gone back

00:01:50to the day I gave birth.

00:01:52Across the hallway, I see Julian hurry into the delivery room opposite mine. Viola is also in labor inside.

00:01:59Viola, I'm here. Don't be scared. I'll stay right here with you.

00:02:03That is the tenderness I never received. These two people have destroyed my entire life.

00:02:09Before the next contraction hits, I grab my phone and call my lawyer.

00:02:15Julian is cheating on me. I want a divorce, and I want him to walk away with nothing.

00:02:23Mrs. Grant, are you sure you want to file for divorce now?

00:02:27Yes. I'll gather the rest of the evidence. Have the divorce agreement ready as soon as possible.

00:02:34In my past life, Viola claimed that she was pregnant after being assaulted.

00:02:39She had said that ending the pregnancy would leave her unable to have children, so she insisted on keeping the

00:02:44baby.

00:02:45I had always been fond of my younger sister, so I brought her home to stay with us during her

00:02:49pregnancy.

00:02:50Julian took such good care of her that I thought he was only doing it because she was my sister.

00:02:55Even when Viola and I gave birth on the same day, Julian refused to be by my side and went

00:03:00straight to her delivery room instead.

00:03:03Yet I still told myself that he was only looking after my sister for my sake.

00:03:07It was only after getting a second chance at life that I realized that Julian had been cheating on me

00:03:13with Viola for a long time.

00:03:14Soon, a baby's cries came from the room across the hall.

00:03:17A few clear words drifted down the corridor.

00:03:20Julian, the baby looks so much like you.

00:03:23Yeah. Let's name him Adrian.

00:03:27I close my eyes and force the hatred boiling inside me back down.

00:03:31In my past life, I raised Adrian for 15 years, while Viola took the life of my own child.

00:03:37But this time, I won't let them get away with it.

00:03:40Another painful contraction hits.

00:03:42A few hours later, my baby is finally born safe and sound.

00:03:45The nurse secures a temporary ID band around his wrist and places the matching numbered card on his crib.

00:03:50Mrs. Grant, this is your baby's ID number.

00:03:52The wristband and crib card match.

00:03:54Please don't remove them yourself.

00:03:56I glance down at the number and memorize it.

00:03:59Half an hour later, Julian rushes in.

00:04:02He doesn't ask how I'm doing.

00:04:03His eyes go straight to the baby in the crib.

00:04:06Get some rest.

00:04:07I'll take care of the baby.

00:04:08While the nurse steps out to hand over the records,

00:04:11he wheels the crib beside me into the delivery room diagonally across the hall.

00:04:15He then brings Viola's baby over to my side and quietly switches the numbered crib cards.

00:04:20After night falls, Julian finally leaves the hospital.

00:04:23Ignoring the pain, I walk over to the crib.

00:04:26As expected, the number on the baby's wrist isn't the one I had memorized.

00:04:31I push the crib to Viola's room.

00:04:34She is already fast asleep.

00:04:36I return her baby to her bedside, then bring my real baby back.

00:04:41Finally, I put the two crib cards Julian switched back to where they belong.

00:04:46When my biological son is back in my arms,

00:04:49I'm overcome with relief at how close I had come to losing him.

00:04:53Don't be afraid.

00:04:55This time, I won't lose you again.

00:04:57I call my lawyer again and tell him I have all the evidence ready.

00:05:02Ms. Harper, the divorce won't be valid without Julian's signature.

00:05:05I'll make sure he signs it.

00:05:10The next day, after the lawyer delivers the divorce agreement,

00:05:13Julian finally comes to my hospital room.

00:05:16Honey, you've been through a lot.

00:05:18He reaches for my face, but I quietly move away.

00:05:21The face that once brought me comfort now fills me with disgust.

00:05:24Julian takes an elegant gift box from his pocket.

00:05:27I got this just for you.

00:05:29Consider it a little reward for giving our family a son.

00:05:32Inside it is a diamond bracelet.

00:05:34I look at it without much reaction.

00:05:36What's wrong?

00:05:37You don't like it?

00:05:38I've always loved pearls.

00:05:40Diamonds are what Viola likes.

00:05:41He probably picked this up while shopping for Viola's gift.

00:05:44Before I can answer, he sighs to himself.

00:05:48Viola lost the baby.

00:05:49She cried all night and almost did something to herself.

00:05:53After you're discharged, let her help you with our son.

00:05:56It might help her get over the loss.

00:05:57I slipped the divorce agreement I prepared under the nursing documents and flipped straight

00:06:02to the signature page.

00:06:04Okay.

00:06:05But I want to stay in the hospital for postpartum care.

00:06:08It'll cost around $40,000.

00:06:10Put it on your card.

00:06:11Sign here.

00:06:12Julian is thrilled by how easily I agree.

00:06:15He signs it without bothering to read it.

00:06:18I'm your husband.

00:06:19Of course you can use my card.

00:06:21He leans down to kiss me, but I immediately turn my face away and put the agreement away.

00:06:26Your cologne is too strong.

00:06:27The baby and I don't like it.

00:06:29Julian straightens up, looking disappointed.

00:06:31I must have picked it up from meeting a client.

00:06:33I'll go home, take a shower, and come back.

00:06:35I watch him hurry out and tighten my grief on the divorce agreement.

00:06:38Julian has no idea that what he just signed wasn't a $40,000 hospital bill,

00:06:42but a one-month countdown to losing his wife and biological son forever.

00:06:48For the next two weeks, Viola shows up at my door every day, asking to see the baby.

00:06:54I turn her away every time, making up one excuse after another.

00:06:59Until this afternoon, when Julian walks straight into the hospital room with her,

00:07:04Viola is dressed to perfection.

00:07:06As soon as she walks in, her eyes fill with tears, and she goes straight to the crib.

00:07:11Evelyn, please, let me see the baby.

00:07:14I take half a step back and hold out my hand to stop her.

00:07:18Stop.

00:07:19The baby's too little.

00:07:20Don't get too close.

00:07:22We don't even make contact, but Viola suddenly lets out a scream and throws herself to the floor.

00:07:27The next second, Julian rushes over and shoves me aside,

00:07:31before bending down to pick Viola up.

00:07:34Evelyn, what the hell are you doing?

00:07:36My lower back slams hard against the nightstand.

00:07:39Pain shoots through me, and my vision goes black.

00:07:42Viola rests in his arms, tears streaming down her face.

00:07:47Julian, don't blame Evelyn.

00:07:51She's just being overprotective of the baby.

00:07:55When Julian looks at me, there's nothing but disgust and hostility in his eyes.

00:08:01Viola just lost her baby.

00:08:03Can't you show her a little compassion?

00:08:06He's too busy checking Viola for injuries to even notice that I had hit the nightstand.

00:08:12I watch their intimate display with a cold look, then ask sarpastically,

00:08:17Was the baby she lost yours?

00:08:20Why else would you care so much about her?

00:08:25A flicker of panic crosses Julian's eyes, when he hears my words.

00:08:29What are you talking about?

00:08:31Viola is your sister.

00:08:33Of course I'm upset that her baby is gone.

00:08:35I'm her brother-in-law, after all.

00:08:37He lies straight to my face, and I can't help but find it ridiculous.

00:08:42You were always there for her.

00:08:45But you never thought about your wife.

00:08:47Julian finally notices that I've been holding my lower back.

00:08:50Did you get hurt?

00:08:51I'll get a nurse.

00:08:52Before he can say anything else, Viola suddenly lets out a weak cry,

00:08:56then closes her eyes and collapses into his arms.

00:08:58I feel so dizzy.

00:08:59Julian immediately turns his attention back to her and anxiously cups her face.

00:09:03Viola, wake up!

00:09:04I'm taking you for a checkup right now!

00:09:06He hurriedly carries Vila away, while I pick up my baby and hide my tears in the swaddling cloth.

00:09:12On the 17th day after giving birth, I'm still recovering,

00:09:16yet Julian has already arranged for my discharge.

00:09:20Pack your things.

00:09:22We're going home today.

00:09:24I'm feeding my baby when I hear those words, and my breath catches for a moment.

00:09:30I told you, I need to stay in the hospital for postpartum care.

00:09:34Our home is just as comfortable as the hospital.

00:09:37Besides, Viola's already back home.

00:09:39You can't expect her to come to the hospital every day.

00:09:42He's rushing me home.

00:09:44And once again, it's all for Viola.

00:09:46In my past life, she moved into our master bedroom right after giving birth,

00:09:51while I, as his rightful wife, was relegated to the maid's room beside the nursery.

00:09:55I look down at the baby in my arms and calmly agree.

00:09:58Fine, I'll go home.

00:10:00After all, arguing won't change anything.

00:10:02I just need to leave the hospital first and wait for the divorce to be finalized.

00:10:06Julian clearly doesn't expect me to agree so quickly.

00:10:09Hurry up and pack.

00:10:10I'll wait outside.

00:10:11He takes two steps before suddenly stopping.

00:10:14He turns around and stares at the baby's face, his gaze settling.

00:10:16My baby has my narrow eyes, while Viola's baby has the same round eyes as the two of them.

00:10:21Julian stares at him for a moment, his brows slowly furrowing as if he's realized something.

00:10:27Julian stares at the baby for a few seconds,

00:10:30then finally looks away and walks out of the hospital room.

00:10:35I slowly let out a breath,

00:10:37then lower my head and kiss my son's cheek.

00:10:42Don't be afraid.

00:10:44This time,

00:10:45I will protect you.

00:10:48Half an hour later,

00:10:49I carry the baby into the car.

00:10:52Viola is already waiting in the back seat.

00:10:54As soon as she sees us,

00:10:56she smiles and reaches out for him.

00:10:58Evelyn,

00:10:59you finally agreed to come home.

00:11:00Let me hold my little sweetheart.

00:11:02I've missed him so much.

00:11:04I turn away from her hand.

00:11:05He just fell asleep.

00:11:07Don't wake him.

00:11:08Viola's hand freezes in midair.

00:11:10Julian,

00:11:10sitting in the passenger seat,

00:11:12turns around and glances between the two of us.

00:11:15Viola just wants to hold him.

00:11:16You don't have to be so tense.

00:11:17Newborns have weak immune systems.

00:11:19Being around outsiders can make them sick.

00:11:22Viola's eyes immediately turn red.

00:11:24Evelyn,

00:11:24am I an outsider?

00:11:27I am.

00:11:28Julian quickly cuts her off.

00:11:30Viola is the baby's aunt,

00:11:31not an outsider.

00:11:33Let her hold him for a while.

00:11:35You can get some rest.

00:11:37No.

00:11:37If he gets sick,

00:11:39he'll be the one who suffers.

00:11:40I will never let the woman who killed my baby in my past life

00:11:43touch my child again.

00:11:44When I refuse to back down,

00:11:45Viola's shoulders slump and disappoint,

00:11:47but she doesn't push me any further.

00:11:49It's fine.

00:11:52I guess I didn't think it through.

00:11:54Evelyn has a point.

00:11:55Jules is the special nickname Viola uses for Julian.

00:11:59Back then,

00:12:00she's called him Jules since she was 19.

00:12:03Back then,

00:12:04instead of calling him Julian like the elders told her to,

00:12:07she took his hand and sweetly called him Jules.

00:12:10I used to think that she was just being playful as a younger sister,

00:12:13but now that I think about it,

00:12:15Viola never really saw Julian as her brother-in-law.

00:12:18It's absolutely disgusting.

00:12:25When I get home,

00:12:27I have to wonder if I've come to the wrong house.

00:12:30The living room furniture,

00:12:32carpet,

00:12:33and curtains have all been replaced with the cream-colored decor Viola likes.

00:12:37Red roses sit on the coffee table,

00:12:39and the wedding photo by the entrance has been replaced with a huge piece of artwork.

00:12:45Viola arranged all of this.

00:12:46She wanted the house to feel cozier,

00:12:49so I let her have her way.

00:12:52You don't mind,

00:12:54do you?

00:12:55A faint smile crosses my vase.

00:12:57Not at all.

00:12:58As long as you two are happy.

00:13:00Once this month is over,

00:13:02I'll take my child and leave for good.

00:13:05After that,

00:13:06it won't matter to me what role Viola plays in this house.

00:13:09I carry the baby upstairs.

00:13:11The master bedroom door is open.

00:13:13The bed is covered with the silk bedding Viola likes,

00:13:16and her things fill the vanity and walk-in closet.

00:13:19Viola follows behind me,

00:13:21her voice half provocative,

00:13:23half vulnerable.

00:13:24Evelyn,

00:13:25you're not mad,

00:13:27are you?

00:13:29I didn't want the master bedroom,

00:13:31but Jules insisted.

00:13:32He said you need some peace and quiet after giving birth.

00:13:36I turn and walk away.

00:13:39He's right,

00:13:40DaBaby and I can stay in the guest room.

00:13:42It'll be quieter anyway.

00:13:43The smile on Viles falters.

00:13:45She had clearly expected me to argue with her,

00:13:47but she hadn't expected me to remain so calm.

00:13:50I'm glad you're not upset.

00:13:51Her eyes quickly settle on the baby,

00:13:53and she slips back into that sweet, innocent expression.

00:13:55Evelyn,

00:13:56can I see the baby?

00:13:58Just for a second.

00:13:59I promise I won't hold him.

00:14:00I stop and deliberately pull back one corner of the swaddle.

00:14:04The baby has his eyes open,

00:14:06staring at me with innocent confusion.

00:14:10Sure.

00:14:11Take a good look.

00:14:13Viola immediately leans in.

00:14:15The moment her eyes meet the baby's,

00:14:18the joy on her face gives way to confusion,

00:14:20then finally to shock.

00:14:25His eyes.

00:14:27What happened to his eyes?

00:14:33I tilt my head,

00:14:35pretending not to understand as I ask her.

00:14:38What's wrong?

00:14:41Who do you think the baby looks like?

00:14:46Viola looks up.

00:14:47Her eyes meet mine over the baby,

00:14:50filled with fear and suspicion.

00:14:54Julian comes up the stairs and looks at us.

00:14:57What are you two doing?

00:14:58Viola's eyes turn red,

00:14:59and tears quickly spill down her cheeks.

00:15:02Julian hurries over and shields her behind him first.

00:15:05Viola just wanted to see the baby.

00:15:07What's your problem?

00:15:09I had already let her see him.

00:15:11I have no idea why she's crying.

00:15:14Viola grabs his sleeve and lowers V-voice to a whisper.

00:15:17Jules,

00:15:19something's wrong with the baby.

00:15:20His eyes look different from when he was born.

00:15:23Julian's expression darkens as he looks down at the baby in my arms.

00:15:27What's different?

00:15:28His eyes were round when he was born,

00:15:31just like yours.

00:15:33But now,

00:15:34they're getting narrower.

00:15:37More like Evelyn's.

00:15:38My heart pounds in my chest,

00:15:40but I remain perfectly calm as I hold the baby.

00:15:44In my past life,

00:15:46Julian never really paid much attention to my biological son.

00:15:49So in this life,

00:15:50I'm certain that he won't notice what's truly different about the baby.

00:15:54Pull the swaddle down a little.

00:15:56Let me see him again.

00:15:58He leans down and pulls the swaddle back a little.

00:16:02His fingers pause near the baby's eyes

00:16:04as he studies them more closely than he did at the hospital.

00:16:08After a moment,

00:16:09Julian slowly looks up and stares straight at me.

00:16:13Why do his eyes look different from when he was born?

00:16:19I calmly meet his gaze.

00:16:21Newborns change every day.

00:16:23It's normal for him to look different from when he was born.

00:16:27Julian believes me.

00:16:29He gently ruffles Viola's hair.

00:16:32Don't overthink it.

00:16:34Viola is still half convinced.

00:16:36She bites her lip.

00:16:38Perhaps afraid that saying too much might give something away,

00:16:41she doesn't press the matter any further.

00:16:45Back in the guest room,

00:16:46I lay the baby down on the bed.

00:16:48The tension I'd been holding onto finally begins to ease.

00:16:51You're looking more and more like me,

00:16:53but it's okay.

00:16:54We'll be out of here soon.

00:16:56At ten that night,

00:16:57the baby has just fallen asleep when Julian walks in.

00:17:00He sees the thin blanket on the bed and frowns.

00:17:02It's so cold.

00:17:03Why are you still using such a thin blanket?

00:17:06I ignore him.

00:17:06He watches me for a moment before suddenly reaching out,

00:17:09waiting for me to lean in and hug him as I usually do.

00:17:12But this time, I turn my head away.

00:17:14Julian looks confused.

00:17:17Evelyn, what's wrong?

00:17:19You've been different since the baby was born.

00:17:25Nothing.

00:17:26I'm just tired.

00:17:29Is the baby keeping you up?

00:17:32Or are you upset about Viola staying in the master bedroom?

00:17:34I look up and meet his eyes.

00:17:37Julian,

00:17:39do you really only see Viola as your sister-in-law?

00:17:48Julian's expression instantly darkens,

00:17:51and his voice rises sharply.

00:17:53Of course.

00:17:55What's gotten into you?

00:17:57Why are you being so sensitive?

00:18:01I let out a mocking laugh.

00:18:04I was just asking.

00:18:07Why are you getting so worked up?

00:18:09His chest heaves a few times before he leans over me,

00:18:12planting one hand beside me and pinning me against the headboard.

00:18:16Viola's been really emotional lately.

00:18:17As her sister,

00:18:18you should be looking out for her instead of reading too much into things.

00:18:21I catch the warning in his eyes and lower my gaze.

00:18:24Fine.

00:18:25I know what I need to do.

00:18:27Julian stares into my eyes,

00:18:29as if searching for even the slowest crack in my composure.

00:18:32But I remain so calm that it makes him feel uneasy.

00:18:35Julian leaves.

00:18:36The moment the door closes,

00:18:38Viola's voice comes from the hallway.

00:18:39Jules, is the baby okay?

00:18:41I'm scared of being alone.

00:18:43Can you stay with me?

00:18:44Their footsteps gradually fade away.

00:18:46The master bedroom door opens,

00:18:48then closes again.

00:18:52I open the surveillance app on my phone.

00:18:55On the screen,

00:18:56the time stamp in the upper right corner keeps moving.

00:18:58The camera continues recording every second of the hallway

00:19:01and the master bedroom door.

00:19:03Keep up the act.

00:19:04Every second you leave behind will be evidence in court.

00:19:10Day by day,

00:19:12Viola settles into my home like she's the real lady of the house.

00:19:16Meanwhile,

00:19:17I personally feed the baby,

00:19:20change his diapers,

00:19:21and bathe him.

00:19:23I don't let anyone else touch him.

00:19:26The maids whisper behind my back that I have postpartum depression.

00:19:30But after what happened in my past life,

00:19:32I don't trust anyone anymore.

00:19:33That night,

00:19:34Julian works late

00:19:35and doesn't come home until two in the morning.

00:19:38The baby suddenly starts crying.

00:19:42Just as I pick him up,

00:19:44the door to my room opens.

00:19:48Evelyn,

00:19:49he's crying so hard.

00:19:50Is he sick?

00:19:51I immediately tighten my arms around him,

00:19:54shielding him against my chest.

00:19:56Who told you to enter?

00:19:58The door wasn't locked.

00:19:59I heard him crying and just wanted to help.

00:20:03Stay by the door.

00:20:05Don't come any closer.

00:20:07But she doesn't stop.

00:20:09Instead,

00:20:10she walks closer and steps into the light,

00:20:13her smile smug.

00:20:15Why are you so guarded around me?

00:20:17Are you afraid I'll take your baby away?

00:20:20What do you mean?

00:20:22Viola stops at the foot of the bed,

00:20:24her gaze slowly moving from my face to the baby in my arms.

00:20:28Relax.

00:20:29I just think you're being a little too protective of him.

00:20:32I keep my eyes on her hands.

00:20:34At the same time,

00:20:35I take out my phone and discreetly point the camera at her,

00:20:38using the baby's blanket to conceal it as I start recording.

00:20:41The next second,

00:20:43the corners of her lips curl into a smile

00:20:45as she casually delivers her next words.

00:20:48Besides,

00:20:50he's not even your biological son.

00:20:57My heart skips a beat.

00:20:59Just when I think Viola is about to reveal the truth,

00:21:02she suddenly laughs.

00:21:05Evelyn,

00:21:06I'm just kidding.

00:21:07Look at you.

00:21:09You look terrified.

00:21:11I take a step back with the baby in my arms,

00:21:14putting some distance between us.

00:21:16With Julian absent,

00:21:18she finally drops her innocent, vulnerable act.

00:21:22Her eyes are filled with smug satisfaction.

00:21:26You must hate me right now.

00:21:28Huh?

00:21:29I took your husband,

00:21:31moved into your home,

00:21:34and now I get to enjoy everything that's yours.

00:21:38But there's nothing you can do about it.

00:21:41Julian doesn't love you anymore.

00:21:43He loves me.

00:21:46I deliberately keep my voice flat.

00:21:49Stop talking nonsense.

00:21:51He's your brother-in-law.

00:21:53Viola sneers and steps closer.

00:21:56Brother-in-law?

00:21:57That's only what I call him when we're in bed,

00:22:00and every time he hears it,

00:22:02he gets excited.

00:22:04Shut up.

00:22:07The baby is right here.

00:22:09Julian lost interest in you a long time ago.

00:22:12He even said you were like a dead fish in bed.

00:22:16I raise my hand and slap her across the face,

00:22:18the sharp crack echoing through the guest room.

00:22:22Get out!

00:22:24Viola covers her face,

00:22:26her features twisted with rage.

00:22:29Enjoy it while you can.

00:22:32Soon, everything you have will be mine.

00:22:36What exactly are you trying to say?

00:22:39Just spit it out.

00:22:40She glances at the baby before speaking,

00:22:43each word carefully chosen.

00:22:45The child you treasure so much is mine and Julian's.

00:22:49So where do you think your child is?

00:22:52Knowing that the recording is still running,

00:22:54I follow her lead and press her for an answer.

00:22:57Where's my child?

00:22:59Where is he?

00:23:04Viola meets my eyes and grins shamelessly.

00:23:07He's dead.

00:23:09I killed him myself.

00:23:11I already knew the answer,

00:23:13but hearing her say it still fills me with unbearable grief.

00:23:17You killed my baby?

00:23:19Viola suddenly reaches for the baby.

00:23:21Give me the baby!

00:23:23He's son!

00:23:23I instinctively knock her hand away

00:23:26and pull the baby tightly against my chest.

00:23:28He's my child.

00:23:29I gave birth to him.

00:23:30He's my son with Julian.

00:23:32Give him back to me!

00:23:34She grabs my arm,

00:23:35then yanks me down by my hair.

00:23:36The back of my head slams against the corner of the bed

00:23:39and my vision goes black.

00:23:40She slaps me across the face like a mad woman,

00:23:42leaving me no choice but to curl around the baby

00:23:44and shield him with my body.

00:23:45The baby wakes up and starts screaming.

00:23:47Chaotic footsteps echo from downstairs

00:23:49as the maids and bodyguards rush upstairs.

00:23:52Julian's voice grows closer.

00:23:54What's going on?

00:23:55Why is the baby crying?

00:23:57Viola stops instantly.

00:23:58She looks at my bloodied face

00:24:00before suddenly breaking into a sinister smile.

00:24:02She gets to her feet

00:24:03and quickly backs against the wall.

00:24:05The next second,

00:24:06she puts on a terrified, tearful expression

00:24:08and screams at the door just as it's about to open.

00:24:10Evelyn, why did you push me?

00:24:13I only wanted to see the baby.

00:24:19When Julian and the bodyguards rush in,

00:24:21I'm lying on the floor,

00:24:22my hair a mess,

00:24:23my face covered in bloody scratches,

00:24:26still clutching the wailing baby tightly in my arms.

00:24:28Viola has already curled up in the corner

00:24:30crying even harder than the baby.

00:24:33The moment she sees Julian,

00:24:34she rushes into his arms.

00:24:36Jules, you're finally home.

00:24:38She grabs Julian by the collar

00:24:40and points at the baby in my arms,

00:24:42trembling as she sobs.

00:24:43I don't know what came over Evelyn.

00:24:45She suddenly went crazy

00:24:47and tried to kill the baby.

00:24:48I couldn't stop her.

00:24:50I hold the baby

00:24:51and struggle to get back on my feet.

00:24:55She's lying.

00:24:57The baby has been in my arms the whole time.

00:25:00Look at the injuries on my face first.

00:25:02Julian doesn't even bother coming closer to check.

00:25:05His eyes are filled with nothing but disgust.

00:25:08Evelyn,

00:25:08what the hell is wrong with you?

00:25:11She tried to take the baby from me

00:25:13and she pushed me down.

00:25:14Julian snatches the baby from my arms.

00:25:17If anything happens to the baby,

00:25:18I'll never forgive you.

00:25:20The baby is suddenly torn from my arms

00:25:22and his cries grow even louder.

00:25:23I lunge forward to get him back,

00:25:25but the bodyguards block me and hold me back.

00:25:28Viola leans against Julian's chest,

00:25:30pretending to sob.

00:25:31Don't cry.

00:25:32I'll take you and the baby to the hospital

00:25:34to get checked out.

00:25:35He comforts Viola in a low voice,

00:25:36then turns and walks away

00:25:37with the baby in his arms.

00:25:39As he passes through the doorway,

00:25:40he gives an order without looking back.

00:25:43Evelyn has lost her mind.

00:25:45Lock her in the basement.

00:25:47Just before Viola leaves,

00:25:49she glances back at me,

00:25:51her lips moving silently.

00:25:53I won.

00:25:55The next second,

00:25:56the guards wrench my arms behind my back

00:25:59and drag me toward the basement.

00:26:05There isn't a single ray of light in the basement.

00:26:08I curl up in the corner,

00:26:11trembling uncontrollably.

00:26:12But what scares me more than the darkness

00:26:15is not having my baby by my side.

00:26:17It's the first time he has ever been away from me

00:26:20since he was born.

00:26:21Viola has already noticed

00:26:23that something is wrong with his eyes.

00:26:25I don't know if she'll uncover the truth,

00:26:27let alone whether she'll hurt my baby again.

00:26:30I rush to the door

00:26:31and pound on it frantically.

00:26:33Let me out!

00:26:34I want to see my baby!

00:26:35I keep pounding on the iron door,

00:26:37screaming until my voice is hoarse,

00:26:38but no one answers.

00:26:39When I'm about to break down,

00:26:41I bite my arm hard,

00:26:42using the pain to force myself to stay alert.

00:26:45Evelyn, hang in there.

00:26:47Your baby is still waiting for you.

00:26:49I have no idea how long I've been locked up.

00:26:51The only way I can keep track of the days

00:26:53is by counting how many times

00:26:55the maids bring me food and water.

00:26:57Seven days later,

00:26:58the door finally opens.

00:26:59The blinding light makes me squint.

00:27:02Two bodyguards walk in

00:27:03and pull me up from the floor.

00:27:04Mrs. Grant, come out.

00:27:06Where's my baby?

00:27:07Let me see him first!

00:27:08They don't answer.

00:27:09They drag me into the living room like a dog.

00:27:12Viola sits on the couch,

00:27:13perfectly put together,

00:27:15while a maid stands behind her,

00:27:17holding my baby.

00:27:19Evelyn, look at you.

00:27:21It's only been seven days.

00:27:22How did you end up looking like a beggar?

00:27:24I try to rush over and take my baby back,

00:27:27but I'm too weak to stand.

00:27:28I can only crawl toward him,

00:27:30inch by inch.

00:27:31Viola crouches down,

00:27:32leans close to my ear,

00:27:34and whispers,

00:27:36Evelyn,

00:27:37as she takes in what happens

00:27:38when you go against me,

00:27:40as she takes in my miserable state,

00:27:42her smile grows wider with satisfaction.

00:27:45One day,

00:27:46I'll be the real Mrs. Grant.

00:27:53Viola grabs me by the hair,

00:27:56her voice cold and threatening.

00:27:57We're having a party for the baby tomorrow.

00:28:00Watch your mouth,

00:28:01or I'll kill you.

00:28:02I look at her,

00:28:04and weakly nod.

00:28:06Don't worry,

00:28:07I won't ruin your big day tomorrow.

00:28:09She thinks seven days in captivity

00:28:11have finally taught me a lesson,

00:28:13but she has no idea

00:28:15that I'm about to leave with my baby.

00:28:19Viola finally lets go

00:28:20and heads upstairs.

00:28:23Only after she leaves

00:28:24does the maid consciously

00:28:25hand the baby back to me.

00:28:27Mrs. Grant,

00:28:28the baby misses you so much

00:28:29that he can't even sleep.

00:28:31I pull my baby tightly into my arms.

00:28:33As soon as he catches my scent,

00:28:35he lets out a small unhubby whimper

00:28:36and grabs onto my clothes.

00:28:38Don't be scared.

00:28:39I'm here.

00:28:41No one will ever tear us apart again.

00:28:43After Viola leaves,

00:28:44I ask the maid to help me

00:28:45mail out a USB drive.

00:28:48Early the next morning,

00:28:50my lawyer finally calls.

00:28:51Ms. Harper,

00:28:52you can pick up the divorce papers now.

00:28:54Okay.

00:28:55Proceed with the rest of the lawsuit

00:28:57as planned.

00:28:58I leave the villa in a hurry

00:28:59with my baby.

00:29:01When anyone asks where I'm going,

00:29:05I simply tell them

00:29:06I'm taking the baby to the party.

00:29:08I arrive at the family court.

00:29:10When the samped divorce papers

00:29:12are placed in front of me,

00:29:13the weight that has been sitting

00:29:14on my chest for days

00:29:15finally lifts.

00:29:17As I walk out of the courthouse,

00:29:19I get a call from my best friend,

00:29:21Samantha.

00:29:22Evelyn,

00:29:22I got the USB drive

00:29:23and all the evidence you sent me.

00:29:25Don't worry.

00:29:26I'll expose Julian's true colors

00:29:28at the party.

00:29:29After hanging up,

00:29:30I immediately book

00:29:31the next flight out of Boston.

00:29:33Holding my baby close,

00:29:35I hail a taxi to the airport.

00:29:38As the terminal comes

00:29:39into view,

00:29:40I hold my baby tighter

00:29:41and let out a long sigh of relief.

00:29:44Julian,

00:29:46I never want to see you again.

00:29:48You and Viola

00:29:49will pay for what you've done.

00:29:54Meanwhile,

00:29:55the ballroom of the five-star hotel

00:29:56is adorned with flowers

00:29:57while crystal chandeliers

00:29:59cast a warm glow

00:30:00over every smiling face.

00:30:02Julian stands at the entrance

00:30:03in a sharp suit,

00:30:05welcoming the guests.

00:30:06Viola stands beside him

00:30:08in a champagne-colored gown,

00:30:10a diamond necklace

00:30:11sparkling around her neck.

00:30:13Viola,

00:30:14you're as beautiful as ever.

00:30:16Viola smiles

00:30:17without saying a single word,

00:30:19barely hiding the smugness

00:30:20in her eyes.

00:30:21The party is about to begin,

00:30:23but the baby and I

00:30:24still haven't shown up.

00:30:25Julian checks his watch

00:30:27and makes another call.

00:30:29Once again,

00:30:30all he hears

00:30:30is the automated message

00:30:32telling him

00:30:32that the phone is turned off.

00:30:34Where the hell did she go?

00:30:36Viola hooks her arm

00:30:37around his.

00:30:39Jules,

00:30:40is Evelyn still mad at me?

00:30:42Is that why she's late?

00:30:44Julian is about to send

00:30:45someone back to the villa

00:30:46to look for us

00:30:47when Samantha makes her way

00:30:48through the crowd.

00:30:50She is dressed in a red dress,

00:30:52carrying herself

00:30:53with confidence.

00:30:56Julian,

00:30:58Evelyn asked me

00:30:59to give you this.

00:31:00It's a surprise video for you.

00:31:02She presses a USB drive

00:31:04into Julian's hand.

00:31:06Julian pauses for a moment

00:31:08before immediately asking,

00:31:09Where is she and the baby?

00:31:11Don't worry.

00:31:12She'll show up with the video.

00:31:14Otherwise,

00:31:15it wouldn't be a surprise.

00:31:17Viola's smile stiffens.

00:31:19Julian doesn't suspect a thing.

00:31:21After all,

00:31:21today is our son's party

00:31:23and our seventh wedding anniversary.

00:31:25Julian is sure

00:31:26I must have prepared

00:31:27a heartwarming video

00:31:28for everyone to watch.

00:31:30He has the staff

00:31:31connect the USB drive

00:31:33to the ballroom's

00:31:34giant screen,

00:31:35then picks up the microphone.

00:31:37Everyone,

00:31:38today we're celebrating

00:31:39our son's arrival

00:31:40and my wife's

00:31:41and my seventh

00:31:42wedding anniversary.

00:31:43My wife has prepared

00:31:45a special surprise.

00:31:46Let's watch it together.

00:31:47The moment the screen lights up,

00:31:49the lively ballroom

00:31:50falls completely silent.

00:31:52Shock spreads

00:31:53across everyone's faces.

00:31:54On the screen,

00:31:55Julian and a heavily

00:31:56pregnant Viola

00:31:57appear naked,

00:31:58locked in an intimate embrace.

00:32:02Viola's breathy moans

00:32:03are blasted

00:32:04through the speakers,

00:32:05echoing throughout

00:32:05every corner of the hall.

00:32:07On the screen,

00:32:08the two are passionately

00:32:09entangled

00:32:10and the footage

00:32:11is almost too explicit

00:32:12to watch.

00:32:13Julian,

00:32:14do you love me

00:32:15or do you love Evelyn?

00:32:16Babe,

00:32:17of course I love you.

00:32:18When are you going

00:32:19to divorce her?

00:32:20Isn't this working

00:32:21just fine?

00:32:22I'll give you anything

00:32:22you want,

00:32:23except the title of wife.

00:32:25The guests stare

00:32:26at the screen

00:32:27in disbelief,

00:32:28their eyes wide

00:32:29with shock.

00:32:30The color drains

00:32:31from Viola's face

00:32:32while Julian

00:32:33stands frozen in place.

00:32:34How could she steal

00:32:36her own sister's husband?

00:32:37Another guest

00:32:38looks at Viola's

00:32:39swollen belly,

00:32:40her voice dripping

00:32:41with contempt.

00:32:42Don't tell me

00:32:43her baby is Julian's.

00:32:45Julian finally snaps

00:32:46out of it

00:32:47and screams at the staff

00:32:48like a madman.

00:32:49Turn it off!

00:32:50Shut the video off!

00:32:51The staff member

00:32:52is just about to reach

00:32:53for the remote

00:32:54when Samantha snatches

00:32:55it away

00:32:56and holds it high

00:32:56above her head.

00:32:58What's the rush?

00:32:59We're just getting started.

00:33:00She presses a button

00:33:01and the footage

00:33:02on the screen

00:33:03suddenly changes.

00:33:04Viola's brazen,

00:33:06shameless face

00:33:06fills the screen

00:33:07for everyone to see.

00:33:09Evelyn,

00:33:09enjoy it while you can.

00:33:11The child you treasure

00:33:12so much

00:33:12is mine and Julian's.

00:33:14She smiles at the camera,

00:33:15her malice

00:33:16completely undisguised.

00:33:17So where do you

00:33:18think your child is?

00:33:19He's dead!

00:33:20I killed him myself!

00:33:21As those words

00:33:22play from the footage,

00:33:23all chatter in the hall

00:33:24falls silent.

00:33:25Julian stares at the screen,

00:33:27knowing he's done for.

00:33:30After the video ends,

00:33:32the hall erupts

00:33:33in angry shouts.

00:33:34What a bastard!

00:33:35You're nothing but a monster!

00:33:37What a shame for Evelyn.

00:33:38She married that man

00:33:40and even had his child.

00:33:41The reporters are practically

00:33:42shaking with excitement.

00:33:44They quickly raise their cameras

00:33:46and capture everything

00:33:46on the big screen,

00:33:48as well as Julian's

00:33:49and Viola's reactions.

00:33:50Viola collapses to the floor,

00:33:52her face ashen.

00:33:53No, that's not real!

00:33:55Samantha is playing a prank!

00:33:56She's setting us up!

00:33:58Unable to take it anymore,

00:33:59Samama strides forward

00:34:01and slaps Viola hard

00:34:02across the face.

00:34:04A thin line of blood

00:34:06immediately appears

00:34:07at the corner

00:34:07of Viola's mouth.

00:34:08Set you up?

00:34:09You were the one

00:34:10who slept with Jillian

00:34:11and threatened

00:34:11to kill the child.

00:34:12Those were your own words.

00:34:14You stole Evelyn's husband,

00:34:16moved into her house,

00:34:17and even expected her

00:34:18to raise your bastard child.

00:34:21I've never seen anyone

00:34:22as shameless as you.

00:34:23Viola covers her face

00:34:24as tears spill from her eyes.

00:34:26Jillian's face

00:34:27turns livid with rage.

00:34:29Samantha, shut up!

00:34:30Samantha turns to him,

00:34:31her eyes filled with disgust.

00:34:34Jillian, you're the lowest

00:34:35of the low.

00:34:36You hurt Evelyn

00:34:37for a woman like her.

00:34:38You'll regret this

00:34:39for the rest of your life.

00:34:40She raises her hand

00:34:41and slaps him again,

00:34:42knocking his head to the side.

00:34:44Jillian is used to having

00:34:45everyone in Buston

00:34:46at his beck and call.

00:34:47He's never been humiliated

00:34:49like this before.

00:34:50Enraged, he immediately

00:34:52raises his hand.

00:34:53Enough!

00:34:54A furious shout rings out

00:34:56from behind the crowd.

00:34:57The guests quickly move aside

00:34:59as Jillian's father

00:35:00strides forward

00:35:00with my parents

00:35:02following close behind,

00:35:03their expressions

00:35:04equally grim.

00:35:07Jillian looks at his

00:35:09father's livid face

00:35:10and the anger he felt

00:35:11moments ago

00:35:12immediately fades.

00:35:14Dad.

00:35:14Don't call me your dad!

00:35:16A hard slap lands

00:35:17across Jillian's face,

00:35:18much harder than Samantha's.

00:35:20Your wife stood by you

00:35:21and built a family with you,

00:35:22yet you betray her

00:35:23with her own sister?

00:35:24Are you even a man?

00:35:26My mom rushes over

00:35:28and grabs Viola by the hair.

00:35:30Viola cries out in pain,

00:35:32tears instantly streaming

00:35:33down her face.

00:35:36Evelyn has always

00:35:37treated you well.

00:35:38How could you do this to her?

00:35:41Mom, I didn't!

00:35:43Those videos are fake!

00:35:45Julian instinctively

00:35:46tries to shield Viola,

00:35:47but his dad grabs him

00:35:48and stops him.

00:35:49Are you seriously

00:35:50still trying to protect her?

00:35:52You've lost your mind!

00:35:53Crying, shouting,

00:35:54and the rabid click

00:35:55of camera shutters

00:35:56blend together

00:35:56as the entire hall

00:35:57descends into chaos.

00:35:59Jillian turns around

00:36:00and roars at the bodyguards.

00:36:02Get these people

00:36:02out of here!

00:36:03The bodyguards are

00:36:04about to move

00:36:04when the ballroom doors

00:36:05suddenly burst open.

00:36:07Several uniformed officers

00:36:08storm in,

00:36:09led by an officer

00:36:10who flashes his badge.

00:36:12Who is Viola Harper?

00:36:14Viola trembles

00:36:15and instinctively hides

00:36:16behind Jillian.

00:36:18The officer walks up to her

00:36:19and pulls out

00:36:20a pair of handcuffs.

00:36:21Oh, Harper.

00:36:22You're under arrest.

00:36:23for the murder of an infant.

00:36:27Viola's eyes grow wide.

00:36:28The moment she sees

00:36:29the police officers

00:36:30take out their handcuffs,

00:36:31she frantically backs away.

00:36:33No, I didn't!

00:36:34I didn't kill the baby!

00:36:36The evidence is conclusive.

00:36:38You need to come with us

00:36:39and cooperate

00:36:40with the investigation.

00:36:41Viola grabs

00:36:42Julian's arm tightly,

00:36:43clinging to him

00:36:44like he's her last hope.

00:36:46Jules, help me!

00:36:47I didn't kill the baby!

00:36:49Halfway through her plea,

00:36:51she suddenly remembers

00:36:52something important

00:36:53and looks around in panic.

00:36:55Where's my baby?

00:36:57Jules, where's our baby?

00:36:59Where's Evelyn?

00:37:00She has my baby!

00:37:01Samantha lets out

00:37:02a cold laugh

00:37:03and raises her phone,

00:37:04showing them

00:37:05the DNA test results

00:37:06I sent her.

00:37:07The results clearly state

00:37:08that I am

00:37:09Oliver Harper's

00:37:10biological mother.

00:37:11Evelyn told me

00:37:12to tell you

00:37:13that she's left

00:37:13with her child.

00:37:14You two can spend

00:37:15the rest of your lives

00:37:16in prison together.

00:37:17Julian and Viola

00:37:18stare at each other

00:37:19in shock,

00:37:20neither able to believe

00:37:21what they've just heard.

00:37:22The color drains

00:37:23from Viola's face,

00:37:24leaving her deathly pale

00:37:26as lips tremble violently.

00:37:28That's impossible!

00:37:30The baby is mine

00:37:31in Jules!

00:37:32How could it be Evelyn's?

00:37:34The officer stares

00:37:35at Viola sternly

00:37:36and steps toward her

00:37:37with the handcuffs.

00:37:38We have enough evidence

00:37:40to prove that you

00:37:40killed the newborn.

00:37:41The autopsy confirms

00:37:43that the dead baby

00:37:44is biologically related

00:37:45to you.

00:37:45Viola Harper,

00:37:47now,

00:37:47come with us

00:37:48for questioning.

00:37:49The shock on Viola's face

00:37:50turns to sheer terror.

00:37:52What are you talking about?

00:37:53Samantha steps forward,

00:37:55gritting her teeth

00:37:56as she tells her the truth.

00:37:57It means that

00:37:58the dead baby

00:37:58was yours,

00:37:59Viola.

00:38:00You killed your own son

00:38:02with your own hands.

00:38:07Viola screams hysterically,

00:38:09shaking her head frantically.

00:38:10No!

00:38:11That's impossible!

00:38:13That baby isn't mine!

00:38:15I killed Evelyn's baby!

00:38:18Samantha puts her phone away

00:38:20and looks at her coldly.

00:38:21Evelyn switched

00:38:22the two babies back

00:38:24so her own child survived.

00:38:27And you never even knew.

00:38:29The words hit Viola

00:38:30like a bombshell.

00:38:31She collapses to her knees

00:38:32and bursts into

00:38:33uncrillable sobs.

00:38:35Oh, God!

00:38:36I killed my own child!

00:38:38Julian stares

00:38:39at the devastated Viola

00:38:41then turns to Samantha,

00:38:43his voice hoarse.

00:38:44That baby was still born.

00:38:46Why are you saying

00:38:47Viola killed the baby?

00:38:48Because she lied to you!

00:38:50She planned to kill

00:38:51Evelyn's baby

00:38:52as soon as she gave birth.

00:38:54Evelyn saw through

00:38:55your scheme

00:38:56and switched the baby's back

00:38:58ahead of time.

00:38:59Her child is safe

00:39:01and sound with her now.

00:39:03Julian's legs go weak

00:39:04and he has to brace himself

00:39:05against the edge

00:39:06of the table.

00:39:07He never imagined

00:39:09that Viola

00:39:10could hurt a newborn.

00:39:11The officers

00:39:12pull Viola to her feet

00:39:14as she continues

00:39:15screaming hysterically.

00:39:16My baby is dead!

00:39:18I killed my own child!

00:39:22The officers take Viola away.

00:39:24As she passes Samantha,

00:39:26she suddenly stops

00:39:27and glares at her

00:39:28with bloodshot eyes.

00:39:29Where's Evelyn?

00:39:30Where is she?

00:39:31She's somewhere

00:39:32you'll never find her.

00:39:34She and the baby

00:39:35will be fine

00:39:36while you'll spend

00:39:37the rest of your life

00:39:38in prison.

00:39:40After Viola

00:39:41is taken away,

00:39:42Julian remains

00:39:43rooted to the spot,

00:39:44saying nothing.

00:39:46After a long silence,

00:39:48he looks up at his dad.

00:39:50Dad.

00:39:51Evelyn.

00:39:52How dare you

00:39:53even mention Evelyn!

00:39:55After everything

00:39:55you've done,

00:39:56do you really think

00:39:57she'll ever come back?

00:39:58His dad points

00:39:59at the mess around them,

00:40:00his hands trembling

00:40:01with rage.

00:40:02You tore this family apart!

00:40:04Mom is crying so hard

00:40:06that she can barely stand.

00:40:07She points at Julian,

00:40:09her voice trembling.

00:40:10My daughter was married

00:40:12to you for seven years.

00:40:14She gave up her career

00:40:15for you and had your child.

00:40:17And this is how

00:40:18you treat her?

00:40:19Julian can't find the words.

00:40:21There's no excuse

00:40:22for all the ways

00:40:23he betrayed and hurt me.

00:40:24Samantha's furious words

00:40:26from earlier

00:40:26echo in his mind again.

00:40:28He had hurt me

00:40:28for Viola's sake

00:40:29and he'd regret it

00:40:30for the rest of his life.

00:40:32She was right.

00:40:33I was wrong.

00:40:36I truly regret it.

00:40:39Julian drives back

00:40:40to the Grant residence alone.

00:40:42The moment he opens the door

00:40:44and sees the empty living room,

00:40:46he freezes.

00:40:48Evelyn?

00:40:49No one answers.

00:40:51Every trace of me is gone.

00:40:54He rushes upstairs

00:40:55and opens the guest room door.

00:40:57The vanity is empty

00:40:58and not a single piece

00:40:59of my clothing

00:41:00remains in the closet.

00:41:01The only thing on the nightstand

00:41:03is a gift box.

00:41:04Inside is the diamond bracelet

00:41:06Julian gave me a month ago.

00:41:07He looks up

00:41:08and glares at the maid.

00:41:10Where's all her stuff?

00:41:11Where did it go?

00:41:13The maid stays outside the door,

00:41:15avoiding his gaze.

00:41:17When Mrs. Grant left,

00:41:19she took everything

00:41:20that belonged to her

00:41:20and the child with her.

00:41:22Julian grips the bracelet tightly.

00:41:23He finally understands

00:41:25why I had been so cold

00:41:26when he gave it to me.

00:41:27Seven years

00:41:28and I didn't even know

00:41:30what she liked.

00:41:31The doorbell suddenly rings.

00:41:33Thinking I'd come back,

00:41:34he immediately gets to his feet

00:41:35and rushes downstairs.

00:41:37Evelyn?

00:41:38Are you home?

00:41:40Julian hurries to the door.

00:41:42I'm Julian Grant.

00:41:43After signing for the delivery,

00:41:45he instinctively checks

00:41:47the sender information.

00:41:48My name is listed as the sender,

00:41:50while the family court

00:41:51is listed as the recipient.

00:41:52Julian tears open the envelope.

00:41:54Several pages of divorce papers

00:41:56slip out and scatter at his feet.

00:41:58He bends down to pick them up,

00:42:00checking each page

00:42:01for the names, dates,

00:42:02and court seal.

00:42:03With every page he reads,

00:42:04his eyes widen in disbelief.

00:42:07Mr. Grant,

00:42:08you and Mrs. Grant are divorced?

00:42:11That's impossible.

00:42:13I'd have to sign

00:42:14the divorce papers

00:42:14for it to be final.

00:42:17She never gave them to me.

00:42:20He desperately tries to remember.

00:42:22Then,

00:42:23the memory of the hospital room

00:42:24the day after my delivery

00:42:26comes rushing back.

00:42:27That day,

00:42:28I took out the divorce agreement,

00:42:30flipped straight to the signature page,

00:42:32and handed it to him.

00:42:33I had told him

00:42:34that it was for

00:42:34my postpartum care expenses.

00:42:36His mind had been

00:42:37completely occupied with Viola,

00:42:39so he didn't even look

00:42:40at the document's title.

00:42:42It'll cost around $40,000.

00:42:45Put it on your card.

00:42:48It'll cost around $40,000.

00:42:50Put it on your card.

00:42:52Julian nearly loses his balance.

00:42:54He realizes that I had already

00:42:56made up my mind

00:42:57to divorce him.

00:42:58His phone rings at that moment,

00:43:00and his assistant's voice

00:43:02comes through the receiver.

00:43:04Mr. Grant,

00:43:06Mrs. Grant's lawyer

00:43:07just notified me

00:43:08that your divorce is final.

00:43:11The property division hearing

00:43:12is next week.

00:43:14Julian closes his eyes,

00:43:15his voice weary.

00:43:17Got it.

00:43:20After the call ends,

00:43:21he sits alone

00:43:22in the empty guest room

00:43:23for a long time.

00:43:24He remembers me at 18,

00:43:25walking out of the library

00:43:26with my arms full of books.

00:43:27He was the one

00:43:28who pursued me,

00:43:29the one who placed

00:43:30the ring on my finger.

00:43:31And when he finally proposed,

00:43:33I cried and said yes

00:43:35without hesitation.

00:43:36But he took my love

00:43:37for granted,

00:43:38mistook my quiet nature

00:43:39for a lack of excitement,

00:43:40and became drawn

00:43:41to the thrill

00:43:42Viola brought into his life.

00:43:43He thought I would

00:43:44always be there,

00:43:45so he stopped cherishing me.

00:43:47Now,

00:43:47I'm really gone.

00:43:49Julian covers his face

00:43:50with both hands,

00:43:51his shoulders shaking violently.

00:43:56I lost the woman

00:43:58I loved most in this life.

00:44:01One week later,

00:44:02the property division

00:44:03hearing begins.

00:44:04I do not attend

00:44:05and have my lawyer

00:44:06represent me in full.

00:44:07As a witness,

00:44:08Samantha submits

00:44:09all the evidence

00:44:10of Julian's affair

00:44:11along with surveillance footage

00:44:12of Viola living

00:44:13at the Grant residence.

00:44:14These pieces of evidence

00:44:15corroborate one another,

00:44:17showing that Julian

00:44:18had been cheating

00:44:18throughout the marriage

00:44:19and had even brought

00:44:20the other woman

00:44:21into their home.

00:44:22After reviewing the evidence,

00:44:24the judge delivers

00:44:24the ruling in court.

00:44:26This court finds Julian Grant

00:44:27at fault for the end

00:44:28of this marriage.

00:44:29He will forfeit his claim

00:44:31to all marital assets.

00:44:32Julian's lawyer

00:44:33immediately leans over to him.

00:44:35Mr. Grant,

00:44:36we can appeal the ruling.

00:44:37No.

00:44:39Just let her have it all.

00:44:41As he walks out

00:44:41of the courthouse,

00:44:42Samantha stops him

00:44:43at the bottom

00:44:44of the stone steps.

00:44:45Julian,

00:44:46Evelyn asked me

00:44:46to tell you something.

00:44:47The dullness in Julian's eyes

00:44:49instantly disappears.

00:44:51Does she want to see me?

00:44:52Samantha stares at him

00:44:53and lays out my feelings,

00:44:55word for word.

00:44:56Of course not.

00:44:57She wants me to tell you

00:44:58that she doesn't even

00:44:59care enough to hate you.

00:45:00To her,

00:45:01you're nothing more

00:45:02than a stranger now.

00:45:04With that,

00:45:05she turns and walks away.

00:45:07Julian remains where he is,

00:45:08his eyes slowly turning red.

00:45:10I no longer hate him.

00:45:12He should feel relieved,

00:45:13but that means

00:45:14I've completely erased him

00:45:15from my life.

00:45:16He tightens his grip

00:45:17on the court documents

00:45:18in his hand.

00:45:19No.

00:45:20I can't just let

00:45:21Everon go.

00:45:22I'll find her,

00:45:23and I'll do whatever

00:45:24it takes to win her back.

00:45:28Three months later,

00:45:30I settle down with my son

00:45:31in the French town of Colmar.

00:45:33I settle into a small

00:45:35riverside house

00:45:36with white walls

00:45:37and blue shutters.

00:45:38I make it cozy inside

00:45:39and fill the garden

00:45:40with flowers.

00:45:41Every morning,

00:45:42I take Oliver out

00:45:43for a walk along the river.

00:45:44He's growing quickly,

00:45:45and now he greets me

00:45:47with the sweetest little smiles.

00:45:49I nickname him Ollie.

00:45:51Ollie,

00:45:52we finally have a home of our own.

00:45:53He doesn't understand me.

00:45:55He only looks at me

00:45:56with his bright eyes

00:45:57and smiles.

00:45:58Every time I look at him,

00:45:59I feel as though

00:46:00my world comes alive again.

00:46:02It's just you and me here.

00:46:04I no longer wake up

00:46:05startled in the middle

00:46:06of the night.

00:46:07I don't have to worry

00:46:08about someone barging

00:46:09into my room

00:46:09and ripping Ollie

00:46:10from my arms.

00:46:11One afternoon,

00:46:12after I put Ollie to sleep,

00:46:13I sit alone in the yard

00:46:15with a cup of tea.

00:46:16The sun is warm,

00:46:17flowers perfume the air,

00:46:18and everything is peaceful.

00:46:20Suddenly,

00:46:20the doorbell rings.

00:46:21My fingers freeze

00:46:22against the rim of the cup.

00:46:23My first thought

00:46:24is that Julian has found me.

00:46:26I hurry to the door

00:46:26and look through the peephole.

00:46:28Even if Julian finds us,

00:46:29I won't let him take my son.

00:46:31A tall, handsome man

00:46:32is standing outside.

00:46:33He's dressed in a dark blue

00:46:34cashmere coat

00:46:35holding a bouquet of flowers.

00:46:36I recognize him instantly.

00:46:38He's Nolan Reed,

00:46:39my college classmate.

00:46:41The guy who always sits

00:46:42in the very back

00:46:42of the classroom,

00:46:43quiet and reserved,

00:46:45yet somehow manages

00:46:46to come in first

00:46:46on every exam.

00:46:48I open the door

00:46:50immediately.

00:46:51When Nolan sees me,

00:46:52a faint smile

00:46:53appears on his lips.

00:46:54Evelyn,

00:46:55it's been a long time.

00:46:58Nolan,

00:46:59what are you doing

00:47:00in Colmar?

00:47:04Nolan holds out

00:47:05the flowers to me,

00:47:06his voice still low

00:47:07and gentle.

00:47:08I'm working around here.

00:47:10I was passing by today,

00:47:12so I thought

00:47:12I'd come see you.

00:47:13I take the flowers,

00:47:15wondering how he knows

00:47:15where I live.

00:47:16I don't ask right away.

00:47:18Instead,

00:47:18I step aside

00:47:19and let him through

00:47:20the doorway.

00:47:21Come in and have a seat.

00:47:22I'll make you some tea.

00:47:24Nolan walks into the yard,

00:47:25his gaze moving

00:47:26from the flowers

00:47:27filling the courtyard

00:47:28to the stroller.

00:47:29Ollie is still asleep,

00:47:30his tiny hand resting

00:47:31against the edge

00:47:32of his blanket.

00:47:33He's adorable.

00:47:35He looks so much like you.

00:47:37His name is Ollie.

00:47:38He just fell asleep

00:47:39a little while ago.

00:47:40I put the flowers

00:47:41in a glass vase

00:47:42and head to the kitchen

00:47:43to make tea.

00:47:44What I don't know then

00:47:45is that Nolan

00:47:46watches me walk away,

00:47:48eight years of buried feelings

00:47:49hidden in his eyes.

00:47:51He has loved me for eight years

00:47:52from the time he was 18

00:47:54until he turned 26.

00:47:57He has loved me for eight years

00:47:59from the time he was 18

00:48:00until he turned 26.

00:48:02In college,

00:48:03Julian is eyed by my side,

00:48:04so Nolan can only watch me

00:48:05from a distance.

00:48:06After I graduate

00:48:07and marry Julian,

00:48:08he quietly steps back

00:48:09into the role of a friend.

00:48:10Later,

00:48:11he hears that I've divorced

00:48:12Julian and left Boston

00:48:13with my child.

00:48:14He spends three months

00:48:15looking for me,

00:48:16searching from Boston

00:48:17to Europe

00:48:17and then from Paris

00:48:18to this little town.

00:48:19But when he's finally

00:48:20at my door,

00:48:21he hesitates.

00:48:22He doesn't want to disrupt

00:48:24the peaceful life

00:48:24I've finally managed to build.

00:48:26He only wants to be there

00:48:28whenever I need him.

00:48:29I return to the yard

00:48:30with two cups of tea

00:48:31and hand one to him.

00:48:32What kind of work

00:48:33are you doing here?

00:48:34An architecture firm

00:48:35took on a historic

00:48:36restoration project

00:48:37and they sent me here

00:48:38to oversee it.

00:48:39How long will you be here?

00:48:41Nolan lowers his head

00:48:42and lifts his teacup,

00:48:43avoiding my gaze.

00:48:45Probably a year or two.

00:48:46I nod,

00:48:47thinking nothing of it.

00:48:49It's only later

00:48:50that I find out

00:48:50that there was never

00:48:51any company project

00:48:52here at all.

00:48:56Nolan rents an office

00:48:57in Colmar

00:48:58with his own money

00:48:59and even drafts

00:49:00a job offer

00:49:00for himself.

00:49:01For now,

00:49:02he has no intention

00:49:03of letting me know

00:49:04about any of it.

00:49:05That afternoon,

00:49:07we sit in the courtyard

00:49:07drinking tea,

00:49:09reminiscing about

00:49:10our college days

00:49:11and catching up

00:49:12on everything

00:49:12that has happened

00:49:13in our lives

00:49:14over the years.

00:49:15Nolan is talkative

00:49:16without being overbearing.

00:49:18He always knows

00:49:19exactly what to say.

00:49:20He never presses me

00:49:21about the past

00:49:22when I'm not ready

00:49:23to talk about it

00:49:24and he never leaves me

00:49:25feeling emotionally drained.

00:49:27After being tense

00:49:29for so long,

00:49:29I slowly begin to relax

00:49:31in the comfort

00:49:31of our casual conversations.

00:49:33Suddenly,

00:49:34Ollie wakes up

00:49:35and starts crying softly.

00:49:36I'm about to get up

00:49:37when I realize

00:49:38Nolan is already

00:49:39standing beside the stroller.

00:49:40Let me help.

00:49:41He gets fussy

00:49:42with people

00:49:42right after he wakes up.

00:49:44I'll hold him.

00:49:45If he doesn't like me,

00:49:47I'll hand him right back.

00:49:48He carefully supports

00:49:49Ollie's neck

00:49:49and lower back,

00:49:50then gently lifts him

00:49:51into his arms.

00:49:52After soothing him

00:49:53for a while,

00:49:54Ollie actually stops crying.

00:49:56He simply stares at Nolan

00:49:57with his narrow eyes,

00:49:58studying him curiously.

00:50:00Nolan looks down

00:50:01and smiles.

00:50:02Hey there,

00:50:02little one.

00:50:03Watching them,

00:50:04I feel something strange

00:50:05stir inside me,

00:50:06a warmth tinged

00:50:07with a faint ache.

00:50:10From then on,

00:50:11Nolan comes by every day.

00:50:12Sometimes he brings fruit,

00:50:13sometimes toys,

00:50:14and sometimes nothing at all.

00:50:16He simply sits with me,

00:50:17drinking tea and talking.

00:50:19He never crosses the line

00:50:20or judges me for my past.

00:50:21He simply stays by my side,

00:50:23as naturally as sunlight and air.

00:50:25When Ollie turns six months old,

00:50:27Nolan brings him

00:50:28a handmade wooden rocking horse.

00:50:29The wood is polished smooth

00:50:31and every detail is crafted

00:50:32with care and precision.

00:50:34I made it myself.

00:50:35It might not look perfect,

00:50:36but it's sturdy.

00:50:37Ollie sits on it

00:50:38and laughs non-stop.

00:50:40I run my fingers

00:50:41over the warm,

00:50:41smooth grain,

00:50:42and my eyes begin

00:50:43to sting with tears.

00:50:44Julian has given me diamonds,

00:50:46handbags,

00:50:46and even a house,

00:50:47but he has never made anything

00:50:48for me with his own hands.

00:50:50For wealthy people,

00:50:51where they choose

00:50:52to spend their time

00:50:52shows what they truly care about.

00:50:54Thank you.

00:50:55I'll keep it safe for Ollie.

00:50:57Nolan looks into my eyes,

00:50:59his expression suddenly

00:51:00turning serious.

00:51:01Evelyn,

00:51:01there's something I've kept

00:51:03to myself for eight years.

00:51:05I want to tell you

00:51:06in person today.

00:51:08I look up,

00:51:10my heart suddenly racing.

00:51:12Nolan takes a deep breath,

00:51:13as if he's finally

00:51:14made up his mind.

00:51:15I know you might not

00:51:16be ready yet,

00:51:17maybe you never will be,

00:51:19but I still want to tell you

00:51:21how I feel.

00:51:22He pauses for a moment,

00:51:23his voice low and sincere.

00:51:25I love you, Evelyn.

00:51:27I've loved you since I was 18,

00:51:29and that's never changed.

00:51:30He takes several bank cards,

00:51:32property deeds,

00:51:33and insurance policies

00:51:34from the document bag

00:51:35he carries with him

00:51:36and lays them on the tea table

00:51:37one by one.

00:51:38Nolan,

00:51:39you don't have to prove

00:51:40any of this to me.

00:51:41I know you don't care

00:51:42about money or appearances.

00:51:43I just want you to know

00:51:44how serious I am about you.

00:51:46He glances at Ollie

00:51:47sitting on the rocking horse,

00:51:48his expression growing softer.

00:51:50If you're willing to be with me,

00:51:51everything I have is yours,

00:51:52and I'd be happy

00:51:53to help look after Ollie.

00:51:55For me,

00:51:56that would be more

00:51:56than I could ask.

00:51:59I don't answer right away.

00:52:01My last marriage

00:52:02left me deeply hurt,

00:52:03so I can't help

00:52:04but be wary of promises

00:52:05about the future.

00:52:06Nolan doesn't pressure me.

00:52:07He simply waits

00:52:08for my answer.

00:52:09You don't have to answer me now,

00:52:11and I don't want you

00:52:12to feel pressured.

00:52:13I just want you to know

00:52:14that all this time,

00:52:16there has always been

00:52:17someone in this world

00:52:18waiting for you.

00:52:19With that,

00:52:19he smiles

00:52:20and takes a step back.

00:52:22Once you've really

00:52:23thought it through,

00:52:24give me your answer.

00:52:25He turns

00:52:26and walks away.

00:52:27I stand there

00:52:28holding the rocking horse,

00:52:29watching his figure

00:52:31disappear beyond

00:52:31the courtyard gate

00:52:32as tears slowly

00:52:33fill my eyes.

00:52:35I remember my past life

00:52:37when I married Jillian,

00:52:38had his child,

00:52:39and devoted myself

00:52:40to our family,

00:52:41only to meet

00:52:41a tragic end.

00:52:42After being reborn,

00:52:44I swore I would never

00:52:45fall in love again.

00:52:46All I want is to live

00:52:47a peaceful life with Ollie,

00:52:48but Nolan's arrival

00:52:49is the first thing

00:52:50that makes me question

00:52:51that decision.

00:52:52It turns out

00:52:53there really is

00:52:53someone in this world

00:52:54who can love me

00:52:55wholeheartedly.

00:52:58Three months later,

00:52:59Jillian still hasn't

00:53:00heard from me.

00:53:01He stands by the

00:53:02floor-to-ceiling window

00:53:03in the Grant Group office.

00:53:04It's a half-empty

00:53:06bottle of whiskey

00:53:06in his hand.

00:53:08A world map

00:53:09is spread across the desk.

00:53:11The only thing

00:53:12he has managed

00:53:12to find out

00:53:13is that I went to France.

00:53:15He still has no idea

00:53:16which city I'm in.

00:53:18His phone rings.

00:53:19His assistant is calling

00:53:20with an update

00:53:21on Viola's case.

00:53:22Mr. Grant,

00:53:23Viola's trial

00:53:24starts next week.

00:53:25The prosecutor's office

00:53:27is charging her

00:53:27with murder

00:53:28and seeking

00:53:29a life sentence.

00:53:30Julian pauses

00:53:31for a moment.

00:53:32In the past three months,

00:53:33he has almost

00:53:34forgotten about her.

00:53:35Got it.

00:53:36Her lawyer requested bail,

00:53:38but the court denied it.

00:53:39The assistant hesitates

00:53:41before continuing,

00:53:42his voice uncertain.

00:53:44The prison officer

00:53:45said she wasn't

00:53:46doing well mentally.

00:53:47She cried every day

00:53:48and kept asking

00:53:49about you and the child.

00:53:51You don't need

00:53:51to update me

00:53:52on her anymore.

00:53:53Just tell me the verdict.

00:53:55There's a brief silence

00:53:56on the other end

00:53:57of the line

00:53:57before the assistant

00:53:58brings up another matter.

00:54:00The eldest son

00:54:01of the Reed Group owner,

00:54:02Nolan,

00:54:03has been selling off

00:54:04his shares in Grant Group

00:54:05while refusing

00:54:06to transfer them to us.

00:54:08Julian sets down

00:54:09the bottle.

00:54:10For the first time,

00:54:11his expression changes.

00:54:12I learned that he went

00:54:14to Colmar, France

00:54:15three months ago.

00:54:17He rented a house

00:54:18and an office there

00:54:19and hasn't returned since.

00:54:21He also hasn't responded

00:54:22to any calls or emails.

00:54:24Julian's eyes grow wide.

00:54:27Nolan?

00:54:32The assistant

00:54:33quickly responds

00:54:34to Julian's question.

00:54:37It's Nolan Reed.

00:54:38He rented a house

00:54:40and an office

00:54:40in Colmar,

00:54:41claiming he was

00:54:42in charge of a historic

00:54:44building restoration project.

00:54:46Julian stares

00:54:47at the rental record

00:54:48on his computer,

00:54:49his fingers tightening.

00:54:51When did the project start?

00:54:53Who haired him?

00:54:54We can't find the client.

00:54:56We checked the local

00:54:57public records

00:54:58but that restoration project

00:54:59doesn't even exist.

00:55:02Julian remembers Nolan.

00:55:04Back in college,

00:55:05Nolan always sat

00:55:06in the back row,

00:55:07quiet and withdrawn,

00:55:09never making an effort

00:55:10to socialize.

00:55:12But whenever I laughed,

00:55:14Nolan's eyes would

00:55:14light up for a moment.

00:55:16It was subtle

00:55:16and fleeting,

00:55:17but Julian noticed it

00:55:18a long time ago.

00:55:19Back then,

00:55:20he didn't think much of it.

00:55:21He assumed it was

00:55:22nothing more than

00:55:23a hopeless crush

00:55:23from a younger man.

00:55:24But now,

00:55:25Nolan has come to France

00:55:26in the same month I left

00:55:27and he's even gone so far

00:55:28as to make up a job

00:55:29that doesn't exist.

00:55:32Something about it

00:55:32doesn't add up.

00:55:34When did he arrive

00:55:35in Colmar?

00:55:35Three months ago.

00:55:37It was almost exactly

00:55:38when Mrs. Grant

00:55:39left Boston.

00:55:41The answer is obvious.

00:55:43Julian's heart

00:55:43suddenly races.

00:55:44He grabs his coat

00:55:45and heads for the door.

00:55:47Mr. Grant,

00:55:48are you going there

00:55:49for yourself?

00:55:50Send me Nolan's address

00:55:51in Colmar

00:55:51and book me the next

00:55:53available flight.

00:55:54But there's a board meeting

00:55:55tomorrow morning.

00:55:56Cancel it.

00:55:57I'm going to Colmar now.

00:56:01The night in Colmar

00:56:02is quiet.

00:56:04After putting

00:56:05Ollie to sleep,

00:56:06I sit alone

00:56:07on the balcony.

00:56:08Nolan doesn't come by today.

00:56:11More precisely,

00:56:13ever since he confessed

00:56:14his feelings that day,

00:56:15he hasn't taken

00:56:16the initiative

00:56:17to come over.

00:56:19I know he's giving me time

00:56:21to think things through,

00:56:22but I honestly

00:56:23can't figure it out.

00:56:25I walk over to the crib

00:56:26and watch Ollie's

00:56:27peaceful sleeping face.

00:56:29Unable to help myself,

00:56:30I speak softly.

00:56:31Ollie,

00:56:32do you like Nolan?

00:56:34Of course,

00:56:34the baby doesn't answer.

00:56:36He only wiggles

00:56:36his fingers

00:56:37in his sleep.

00:56:38Nolan is genuinely

00:56:39good to us.

00:56:40He never asks

00:56:41for anything in return,

00:56:43and he never pressures

00:56:44me to accept him.

00:56:45He's so good to us.

00:56:47I should be happy.

00:56:48I gently hold

00:56:49Ollie's little hand,

00:56:51yet I still can't

00:56:51shake the doubt

00:56:52in my heart.

00:56:53But if I make

00:56:54the wrong choice again,

00:56:56I won't be the only one

00:56:57who gets hurt.

00:57:00You will too.

00:57:02I pick up my phone

00:57:03and open Nolan's chat

00:57:04several times,

00:57:05only to close it again

00:57:06each time.

00:57:07Finally,

00:57:08I stare out

00:57:09at the empty yard

00:57:10and mutter to myself,

00:57:11Nolan,

00:57:12how long are you

00:57:13planning to hide from me?

00:57:14Just then,

00:57:15the doorbell rings.

00:57:17Thinking it's Nolan,

00:57:18I hurry downstairs

00:57:19without a second thought

00:57:20and open the door.

00:57:21Nolan,

00:57:22are you?

00:57:23Before I can finish

00:57:24speaking,

00:57:25I freeze.

00:57:26Standing outside

00:57:27isn't Nolan,

00:57:28but Julian,

00:57:29whom I haven't seen

00:57:30in a long time.

00:57:31I tighten my grip

00:57:32on the doorknob,

00:57:33unable to believe

00:57:34that he has actually

00:57:35found me here.

00:57:36Julian?

00:57:41Julian looks worn down,

00:57:43with deeply sunken eyes

00:57:44and a layer of stubble

00:57:45along his jaw.

00:57:48Evelyn,

00:57:48and I finally found you.

00:57:51I snap back to reality

00:57:52and instinctively move

00:57:53to close the door.

00:57:54He immediately reaches out

00:57:56to stop it,

00:57:57his voice filled

00:57:58with desperation.

00:57:59Please,

00:58:00just give me five minutes.

00:58:02Just say it here.

00:58:03I rushed all the way here

00:58:05without even having

00:58:06a drink of water.

00:58:07Can I at least come in

00:58:08and have a glass?

00:58:09I hesitate for a moment

00:58:11before finally stepping aside

00:58:12to let him in.

00:58:13Julian looks around

00:58:14the simple yet cozy home,

00:58:16his eyes passing over

00:58:17the vase,

00:58:18the baby supplies,

00:58:19and the wooden rocking horse

00:58:21in the yard.

00:58:21A pang of sadness

00:58:22flickers in his eyes.

00:58:24Where's the baby?

00:58:25He's asleep.

00:58:27Can I see him?

00:58:28I hesitate again,

00:58:30but eventually lead him upstairs.

00:58:32Ollie is sleeping soundly,

00:58:34his tiny hands curled

00:58:36into fists beside his face,

00:58:37and a little drool

00:58:38pawling at the corner

00:58:39of his mouth.

00:58:40I pick up a burp cloth

00:58:42and gently wipe it away.

00:58:44Julian stands beside the crib,

00:58:46his eyes quickly turning red.

00:58:50He looks so much like you.

00:58:52I don't respond.

00:58:53Instead,

00:58:54I take him back downstairs

00:58:55to the living room.

00:58:56Julian stays silent

00:58:58for a long time

00:58:59before finally speaking,

00:59:01his expression solemn.

00:59:02Evelyn,

00:59:04I know I have no right

00:59:06to say any of this,

00:59:07but I still want to apologize.

00:59:09I was completely wrong.

00:59:12I'm not asking you

00:59:13to forgive me

00:59:14or come back to me.

00:59:16I just want you

00:59:17to know

00:59:19that I've regretted it

00:59:20every single day

00:59:22since you left.

00:59:26Since you left.

00:59:28He raises his head,

00:59:29his eyes red.

00:59:30I thought I didn't love you anymore,

00:59:33but I was wrong.

00:59:34I had simply grown

00:59:35so accustomed

00:59:36to everything you did for me

00:59:38that I forgot

00:59:39how to love you.

00:59:41I even convinced myself

00:59:43you'd never leave.

00:59:44If he'd said those words

00:59:45back then,

00:59:46they might have been enough

00:59:47to make me break down

00:59:48in tears,

00:59:49but now,

00:59:49they feel distant.

00:59:51I quietly let him

00:59:52finish speaking

00:59:53before getting to my feet

00:59:55and walking to the door.

00:59:56I open it again.

00:59:57Are you done?

00:59:58If you are,

00:59:59then go.

01:00:00The baby is asleep

01:00:02and I'm tired.

01:00:04Evelyn.

01:00:05Samantha should have

01:00:06already told you.

01:00:07that I don't hate you anymore.

01:00:10But that doesn't mean

01:00:11I've forgiven you.

01:00:13And it certainly doesn't mean

01:00:15we can start over.

01:00:16I look him in the eyes

01:00:17and make it clear

01:00:19where I stand.

01:00:20The moment you betrayed me,

01:00:23our relationship was over.

01:00:26The child and I

01:00:27have a new life now.

01:00:29Please leave

01:00:30and don't ever come back.

01:00:34Julian stands by the door

01:00:36looking at my calm expression.

01:00:38He finally realizes

01:00:40that I truly don't love him anymore.

01:00:43He doesn't want to leave,

01:00:44but he knows that he can't

01:00:46keep pushing me.

01:00:47He turns to go,

01:00:49but after only two steps,

01:00:51he stops.

01:00:53Is Nolan good to you?

01:00:55That's none of your business.

01:00:57Julian forces a faint smile

01:00:59and doesn't press the matter.

01:01:01He walks away alone

01:01:03into the night.

01:01:04The moment the door closes,

01:01:06I lean against it

01:01:07and briefly close my eyes.

01:01:09Yet,

01:01:10my heart remains strangely calm.

01:01:13After going upstairs,

01:01:14I instinctively glance out the window

01:01:16and suddenly spot Nolan

01:01:17standing in the moonlight.

01:01:18Holding a bag of fruit,

01:01:20he carefully hangs it

01:01:21on the doorknob.

01:01:23I push open the window

01:01:24and call out to him.

01:01:26Nolan,

01:01:28why didn't you knock?

01:01:30Nolan looks up at me,

01:01:32his eyes still as warm

01:01:33and tender as ever.

01:01:35I promised I'd give you time.

01:01:38I didn't want you

01:01:39to feel pressured.

01:01:40So you're just going to

01:01:42leave something at the door

01:01:44and quietly walk away

01:01:45every time?

01:01:47Until you've made up your mind,

01:01:49I won't pressure you.

01:01:51Separated by the distance

01:01:52between the floors,

01:01:54I suddenly understand

01:01:55what I truly want.

01:01:57In this life,

01:01:58all I want is a relationship

01:02:00built on peace,

01:02:01trust,

01:02:01and honesty.

01:02:02Nolan never rushes me

01:02:04for an answer,

01:02:05nor does he expect me

01:02:06to repay him

01:02:07for everything he does.

01:02:08For the first time,

01:02:10he makes me believe

01:02:11that a love like this

01:02:12really exists.

01:02:13I take out my phone

01:02:15and send him a message.

01:02:17If you're free tomorrow,

01:02:19come over for dinner.

01:02:21I'll cook for you.

01:02:23Downstairs,

01:02:24Nolan looks down

01:02:25at his phone,

01:02:26then quickly looks up

01:02:27at me.

01:02:27His eyes light up.

01:02:30Okay.

01:02:31I'll definitely be there.

01:02:35A year later,

01:02:37spring arrives in Colmar.

01:02:39Flowers along both sides

01:02:41of the canal

01:02:41are in full bloom,

01:02:43filling the air

01:02:44with a soft,

01:02:45lingering fragrance.

01:02:46I run a little flower shop

01:02:48in town.

01:02:48It's small,

01:02:50but warm and cozy.

01:02:52Every day,

01:02:53tourists and kohlers

01:02:54stop by to buy flowers.

01:02:56After work,

01:02:57Nolan comes to pick me up,

01:02:58then takes Ollie

01:03:00for a walk along the river

01:03:01with me on our way home.

01:03:02Ollie can already say mommy,

01:03:04and he has just learned

01:03:06to walk.

01:03:06He wobbles around

01:03:07like a little penguin.

01:03:09Ollie, slow down.

01:03:10Don't bump into

01:03:11the flower stand.

01:03:13Mommy!

01:03:15Life is simple,

01:03:16but it gives me

01:03:17a sense of peace

01:03:18I have never known before.

01:03:20Sometimes,

01:03:21I feel like I could be content

01:03:23living this way forever.

01:03:25One evening,

01:03:26I'm arranging bouquets

01:03:27behind the counter

01:03:28when the little bell

01:03:29on the door suddenly chimes.

01:03:31Surprise!

01:03:32Evelyn,

01:03:33I've missed you so much.

01:03:35I look up

01:03:36and see Samantha.

01:03:37I immediately set down

01:03:38the flowers

01:03:39and pull her into a hug.

01:03:40What brings you here

01:03:41all of a sudden?

01:03:42You didn't even tell me

01:03:44you were coming.

01:03:45I came to give you

01:03:46an invitation.

01:03:47She takes a pink invitation

01:03:49from her bag

01:03:50and solemnly hands it to me.

01:03:53I'm getting married.

01:03:56Congratulations!

01:03:57I'll definitely be there.

01:03:59She hugs me again,

01:04:00then takes another envelope

01:04:01from her bag

01:04:02and places it

01:04:03beside the bouquet.

01:04:04I brought you

01:04:05something else too.

01:04:06Take a look before you decide

01:04:07if you want to know more.

01:04:09Is it news from Boston?

01:04:10Samantha nods.

01:04:11I open the envelope

01:04:12and find several photographs

01:04:14and a newspaper inside.

01:04:15In the top photograph,

01:04:16Viola has her hair

01:04:17cropped short.

01:04:18Wearing a prison uniform,

01:04:19she stares blankly

01:04:20into the camera.

01:04:23The photo shoots Viola

01:04:24with her hair cropped short,

01:04:26dressed in a prison uniform.

01:04:28Her eyes are vacant

01:04:29and she looks 10 years older.

01:04:31The newspaper headline

01:04:32clearly states

01:04:33that she has been sentenced

01:04:34to life in prison

01:04:35for murder

01:04:35and declined

01:04:36to appeal the verdict.

01:04:37She's lost her mind.

01:04:39She's not faking it.

01:04:40She's actually crazy.

01:04:42She calls out

01:04:43for her baby every day.

01:04:45Sometimes,

01:04:45she even talks to the air,

01:04:47saying,

01:04:48Be good, my baby.

01:04:50Mommy's here.

01:04:51I look at the photo

01:04:53and answer calmly.

01:04:54She got the punishment

01:04:55she deserved.

01:04:56That's enough for me.

01:04:58Samantha nods

01:04:59and pulls another photo

01:05:00from the envelope

01:05:01and there's Julian.

01:05:03Do you want to see?

01:05:05In the photo,

01:05:06Julian sits alone

01:05:07in a dimly lit house,

01:05:09surrounded by empty

01:05:10liquor bottles.

01:05:11He's painfully thin,

01:05:13with an unkempt beard

01:05:14and bloodshot eyes.

01:05:16Mr. Grant Sr.

01:05:17reclaimed the company.

01:05:19Julian has nothing

01:05:20left now.

01:05:21He lives alone

01:05:22in the house

01:05:22you two used to share,

01:05:24and all he does

01:05:25every day

01:05:25is drink.

01:05:26I look at the photo

01:05:27without feeling a thing.

01:05:29The man I once loved

01:05:31for most of my life

01:05:32is now nothing more

01:05:33than a stranger to me.

01:05:35Let's not talk

01:05:35about them anymore.

01:05:36Stay for dinner tonight.

01:05:38I want you to meet someone.

01:05:39Who?

01:05:40Someone new you met

01:05:41in Colmar?

01:05:42The bell on the door

01:05:43chimes again.

01:05:44Nolan walks into

01:05:46the flower shop with Ollie,

01:05:47carrying a bag of groceries

01:05:49in his other hand.

01:05:50Evelyn,

01:05:51the fish was really fresh,

01:05:52so I bought...

01:05:54He notices Samantha

01:05:55and pauses for a moment,

01:05:57before giving her

01:05:57a polite nod.

01:05:59Hi,

01:06:00I'm Nolan.

01:06:03Samantha looks from Nolan to me,

01:06:05then down at Ollie,

01:06:06who is holding Nolan's hand.

01:06:08Her eyes grow wide

01:06:09in surprise.

01:06:10Wait,

01:06:11what's your name again?

01:06:13You were the guy

01:06:14who always sat

01:06:14in the back row

01:06:15in college, right?

01:06:16Nolan smiles.

01:06:18Nolan Reed.

01:06:19Right!

01:06:20Nolan!

01:06:22She turns to me,

01:06:23practically bursting

01:06:24with excitement.

01:06:25You two are together?

01:06:26I smile at Nolan

01:06:28without denying it.

01:06:29Nolan walks over to me,

01:06:32naturally slips an arm

01:06:33around my shoulders,

01:06:35and kisses my forehead.

01:06:37Yeah, we are.

01:06:39I'll always be there for her.

01:06:41and I'll look after her

01:06:42and Ollie for the rest

01:06:44of my life.

01:06:45Samantha's eyes

01:06:45immediately fill with tears.

01:06:47She steps forward

01:06:48and hugs me tightly.

01:06:50Evelyn,

01:06:51you finally found happiness.

01:06:53Yeah,

01:06:53I did.

01:06:55She pats my back,

01:06:56then turns to Nolan,

01:06:58her expression

01:06:59suddenly serious.

01:07:02Evelyn is my best friend.

01:07:04And if you ever hurt her,

01:07:07I swear I'll never

01:07:08let you off the hook.

01:07:09Don't worry.

01:07:11I'll do everything I can

01:07:12to treat her and Ollie right.

01:07:14I won't break my word.

01:07:16He had waited

01:07:17eight years for me.

01:07:18After finally making it

01:07:20this far,

01:07:21he would never hurt me.

01:07:23He also watched Ollie grow up.

01:07:26They may not be related

01:07:27by blood,

01:07:29but their bond

01:07:30is just as strong.

01:07:32Outside the window,

01:07:34the sun is setting,

01:07:36bathing the whole town

01:07:37in golden light.

01:07:39Ollie runs over,

01:07:41wraps his arms around my leg,

01:07:43and looks up at me,

01:07:45his smile bright.

01:07:47Mommy!

01:07:48Nolan crouches down

01:07:50and picks him up.

01:07:52Come on.

01:07:53Let's go home

01:07:54and make dinner

01:07:55for your mom.

01:07:57Samantha,

01:07:58join us for dinner.

01:07:59I'll have Nolian

01:08:00cook extra tonight.

01:08:02Sure.

01:08:02I'll judge

01:08:03if he's actually

01:08:04a good cook.

01:08:05I link my arm

01:08:06through Nolan's

01:08:07as we walk out

01:08:08of the flower shop together.

01:08:11Samantha stands

01:08:12at the door,

01:08:13raises her phone,

01:08:14and snaps a picture

01:08:15of us walking

01:08:16into the sunset.

01:08:18On the stone-paved street,

01:08:19the shadows

01:08:20of the three of us

01:08:21stretch long

01:08:22and remain

01:08:23closely intertwined.
