00:00for my husband three years later i found out i wasn't his i gave up everything to move to port
00:05victoria for my husband three years later i found out i wasn't his legal wife in port victoria
00:10right after our wedding my husband sean sterling was recruited by port victoria university i left
00:16my entire career behind to go with him i thought i was sacrificing for love yet three years went by
00:22i still didn't even have valid status let alone a local id card sean told me i was on a
00:28temporary
00:28dependent permit but his assistant zoe she already had her permanent residency he got it for her
00:35through his connections i was furious i threatened to leave for the first time ever my calm husband
00:41actually cried i'm already supporting you those documents can wait and zoe came here to work for
00:48me helping her settle in is only fair i believed him until last week i went to the immigration bureau
00:55to check my status i handed the clerk at the desk our marriage certificate she stared at her screen
01:02ma'am our system shows you are not listed as mr sterling spouse in that instant everything became
01:09clear all those delays all those excuses sean had never listed me as his wife i said nothing i went
01:17straight home and started packing my bags but when i reached my own front door my fingerprint was
01:22rejected three times access denied the lock had been changed i called sean immediately why did you
01:30change the lock oh zoe's lock was broken she's familiar with this model so i had ours taken off and
01:37sent over to her just stay in a hotel tonight i'll be working late anyway my mind went blank my
01:43husband
01:43had taken the lock off our door and given it to another woman so i went to a hotel but
01:48when i swiped my
01:49card it was declined when we first moved in sean had given me an unlimited black card but little by
01:55little zoe took over his personal shopping eventually that card ended up in her wallet
02:01and somehow i believed him until our third anniversary just as the evening was turning intimate
02:07it was zoe she casually handed sean a box of ultra thin condoms
02:14professor it's a special night you always say this brand feels the best
02:18thoughtful of me right i didn't even know what brand he preferred for the past three years we've
02:24been trying for a baby we never used protection the dinner was pure torture he made some lame excuse
02:30about a work emergency and rushed out when the door closed behind him i finally understood by then it was
02:36obvious her role as his assistant extended all the way to his bed the next morning i was about to
02:41book a
02:41one-way ticket out of port victoria when my friend called claire i pulled some strings but all they
02:49would give me was the official marriage record it's fine just tell me what you found
02:56in port victoria sean was legally married to zoe zimmerman claire are you okay i'm fine
03:03the woman by his side had never been me it had always been zoe and in that moment every detail
03:09i
03:10had forced myself to ignore came rushing back all those weekends when he claimed he had work at the
03:14university and was gone all day whenever i asked what could possibly be so important
03:18he always gave me the same answer even if i told you you wouldn't understand then i remembered the
03:24time he forgot an important file i took it to the apartment he kept near campus on the bathroom
03:29counter were two toothbrushes and stupidly i didn't think anything of it my mind drifted back to the day i
03:36first arrived in port victoria three years ago sean pulled me into his arms and spun me around like
03:41i was his whole world then zoe waved at us from nearby sean smiled took her suitcase oh i forgot
03:48to tell
03:48you zoe came too she's here all by herself things haven't been easy for her the whole ride his attention
03:58was already on another woman and i had actually been happy for him i really thought he had found the
04:03perfect assistant during those first few months in port victoria i couldn't find a job for the first
04:09time in my life i learned what rejection felt like eventually i swallowed my pride and asked sean for
04:15help doesn't the university have some kind of placement program for spouses could you look into it for me
04:22he didn't even look up he just kept sorting through his papers and said i'll ask around
04:28i waited three months when i asked again i got the same answer meanwhile zoe had already landed a job
04:35at his university the job the benefits the place at his side and she wasn't nearly as qualified as i
04:42was
04:42that was when it finally hit me nothing had gone wrong that job was never meant for me sean had
04:49already reserved it all for the real mrs sterling
04:53i had already decided to leave i went to book the earliest flight out of port victoria for good
04:59finally it was my turn i slid my passport across the counter i just wanted to leave but after a
05:06few
05:06taps on the keyboard the agent frowned i'm sorry but there seems to be a problem with your immigration
05:11status why she turned the screen toward me our system shows that you've overstayed your most recent
05:19extension application was denied at the moment you no longer have valid immigration status in port
05:25victoria i had been living in port victoria for three years legally i had no status there at all
05:31not as a wife not as anyone i was just a stranger i stepped aside and immediately called the immigration
05:38consultant miss parker my extension was never approved now i can't even leave without running into
05:45legal trouble what exactly is going on mrs sterling let me ask you something when your husband filed on
05:54your behalf did he sponsor you as his spouse because the system shows that the approved spousal sponsor
06:00under your husband's file went to a woman named zoe widzemarkin he did file for you too but not as
06:05his
06:05spouse he filed you under a different category that category stopped accepting applications last year
06:12that's why your case has been stuck this whole time standing there on the sidewalk i suddenly wanted to
06:18laugh so that was the truth sean had already handed zoe the spousal sponsorship that should have been mine
06:24and me i had spent three years in the city only to find out i didn't even have legal status
06:29i was only
06:31one step away from leaving for good one step but there was still one final document he had to sign
06:36before my case could be cleared without it i still couldn't leave cleanly i went to his university to
06:44get his signature before i even reached his office i heard zoe's voice inside sean are you really giving
06:50me the arts foundation residency but i'm not qualified this should go to claire she actually trained for this
06:57i stopped cold outside the door the arts foundation residency the opportunity one had needed most
07:03and sean had never mentioned it to me then i heard him answer it's fine i already made the calls
07:10as for claire she has me she doesn't need it and even if you'd had the same chance you wouldn't
07:16have
07:16done any worse than claire i stood outside his office and almost laughed so everything i had sacrificed
07:22was just luck in his eyes and the career i had once been proud of was something he thought anyone
07:26could
07:26replace then the door opened zoe saw me and smiled claire visitors aren't allowed on this floor why
07:33you wait downstairs move i barely touched her before she stumbled backward are you hurt
07:48i'm fine i just lost my balance it's not claire's fault zoe was just doing her job why would you
07:55shove
07:55her i didn't explain i held out the notice this is from immigration i need your signature claire when
08:05did you become this unreasonable sign now or i go straight to the dean and ask why the spouse
08:11sponsored placement in your faculty relocation package ended up with your assistant that's enough
08:16don't forget who's been supporting you without me you wouldn't even be able to stay here legally when he
08:22begged me to come he had said i'll take care of you now it had become i've been supporting you
08:28sign it now and you might still have a little dignity left
08:34escort my wife out she's not feeling well a second later two guards grabbed me i hadn't even spoken
08:40before someone covered my mouth talk tonight stop acting like a child talk tonight there was nothing left
08:46to say at nine that night sean came home he pushed open the half-closed front door the lights were
08:52on
08:53so he assumed i was inside enough already i told you from the beginning zoe needed that spot more than
08:58you did then he pushed the bedroom door open and froze the room was empty everything of mine was gone
09:0810 minutes later two police officers were standing in front of sean asking questions
09:13mr sterling are you sure this was a burglary yes my wife's things are all gone when i got back
09:19the
09:19door was unlocked someone must have come in one of the officers examined the lock
09:26the lock is brand new there are no signs of forced entry i changed the lock yesterday i just hadn't
09:32gotten
09:32around to adding her fingerprint yet you hadn't added her fingerprint then how was your wife supposed to
09:36get in sean opened his mouth but no words came out then he remembered over the past three years
09:43he had made claire wait again and again maybe she couldn't get in so she found someone to change the
09:49lock herself so your wife couldn't get into her own home and instead of calling you or waiting for you
09:55to come back she hired someone to replace the lock yes
10:03what is your wife's phone number it's been off the whole time when was the last time you saw her
10:09he thought about what he had done to claire that afternoon then he lied
10:17this afternoon she was still home this afternoon besides your wife's belongings was anything else
10:22valuable missing no just her mr sterling this probably wasn't a burglary it looks like your wife changed the
10:29lock packed her things and left on her own that's impossible she wouldn't leave the doors and windows
10:34were intact nothing valuable was missing everything in the house was still there except claire's things
10:39and even then he still insisted my wife loves me she gave up everything for me there's no way she
10:46would
10:46leave on her own before leaving the officer asked one last question mr sterling did you and your wife have
10:54an argument this afternoon no we didn't argue the police left before they went they told him to
11:02contact claire's family and friends standing alone in the empty house he suddenly realized something
11:08in the past three years claire had not made a single friend here because he had always told her
11:19he pulled out his phone and called claire's mother mom has claire contacted you today no why what
11:25happened nothing she lost her phone after he hung up he went through his contacts again and realized he
11:32didn't have the number of any of claire's friends that was when he remembered over the past three years
11:37claire had brought up going back more than once and every single time he had said don't bother it's too
11:42much
11:43trouble so in the end she really never went back he used to think she was simply going along with
11:48him
11:49only now did he understand she had known all along that he never wanted to go back with her
11:56he called her number again and again every time all he heard was the same cold message her phone was
12:03off
12:04he walked back into the bedroom and stood in front of the empty side of the closet
12:08for him she had given up everything and not once had she ever said she regretted it so he had
12:14taken it
12:14for granted that she had done it willingly just then his phone rang it was the police mr sterling we
12:24reviewed the building's exterior surveillance footage at around five this afternoon your wife
12:28was seen leaving with a suitcase there were no signs that she was being forced leaning against the closet
12:34he looked at their wedding photo on the wall his face stricken he thought back to the promises they
12:39had made three years ago then he buried his face in his hands in it i was in white and
12:44he was in a
12:44suit we were both smiling at the camera three years ago i had asked him we'll always stay together right
12:54of course and i had believed him for three whole years i had believed him then his phone rang again
13:01it was a purchase alert the card he had given zoe had just been used in central
13:05103 000 for a designer handbag
13:12while sean was still reeling from the fact that i was gone he received a purchase alert from his
13:17assistant it was over a hundred thousand suddenly he remembered two days ago zoe had said she wanted a
13:23new bag he had agreed without even thinking the money he gave me every month was only two thousand dollars
13:30that had to cover everything i had never asked him for anything more the only time i had
13:35ever asked him for anything was when i needed his signature on that immigration form
13:42sean shot to his feet and called ms parker has claire contacted you she came to me before she asked
13:49about her status recently she also asked me about her extension request she wanted to know what
13:55documents she needed to fix everything so she could leave without any legal complications
14:01mr sterling there is something else i think you should know when claire spoke to me she mentioned
14:06the marriage certificate i think she already knows what you did she knows yes that is why she never
14:13asked you again about filing for her as your spouse sean stood there frozen just then another message came in
14:19from zoe sean the bag needs a cute outfit to match too right after that another charge notification popped
14:25up this one was over 20 000 he stared at the number his mind completely blank when had zoe started
14:31spending
14:31his money as if she had every right to it then he remembered it had started the moment the extra
14:37card
14:37that should have gone to me ended up in her hands for three years i had given up everything and
14:42all that
14:42time he had been busy giving all his care to his assistant sean soon found out that i had never
14:49left
14:49port victoria he immediately arranged a meeting with ms parker and asked urgently what is the fastest way
14:55to fix claire's status now mr sterling you have always known what the fastest way is a few years ago
15:03someone told me that during onboarding it was better to come in as single first then once everything
15:09was stable i could file the family paperwork later at the time i had no choice i only did it
15:17to keep
15:17the older people in the family calm wearied up that is nonsense who told you that my assistant
15:25she specifically asked around for me mr sterling i have worked in immigration for 15 years i have never
15:31heard of any rule like that when you joined the university you came in through an employment-based
15:36status route that permit has never required an applicant to be single he suddenly remembered
15:43what zoe had told him sean it is better not to list yourself as married during the hiring process
15:51the background check gets messy he had believed her he had always buried himself in research and
15:57handed all those details over to the assistant he trusted most immigration rules on boarding forms
16:02relocation paperwork he had barely read any of them himself later with red eyes zoe had told
16:09him she wanted legal status here he had thought about how she was a young woman far from home who
16:14had
16:14followed him all the way here all it would take was one marriage certificate so he agreed without
16:19thinking twice mr sterling that assistant was ms zimmerman wasn't it he said nothing just as he stood up in
16:28a
16:28day his phone rang sean please come to the office of academic affairs as soon as possible there are some
16:36matters we need you to explain in person
16:41at three o'clock that afternoon sean was sitting in a conference room at the office of academic affairs
16:46i was not there i only learned the details later there had been two documents on the table in front
16:52of
16:52him the first was a copy of the certificate for the marriage he had registered in port victoria with
16:59me in another jurisdiction the director of academic affairs pushed the documents toward him professor
17:07sterling do you confirm that these materials are authentic sean said nothing under port victoria law
17:13bigamy is a criminal offense the university has already received a request for cooperation for
17:19immigration in addition you will need to explain the marital status declaration you submitted when you
17:25joined the university how was he supposed to explain it soon after the investigators arrived professor
17:32sterling are you saying you did not know that forging documents is illegal
17:40later when i heard those words repeated i almost laughed did he know maybe he didn't that
17:46was the cruelest part sean had never carefully planned to ruin me he just never thought about me enough
17:53so we spent three years figuring out how to stay by his side i spent those same three years waiting
17:58for him to come home she fought for a place beside him i waited for him to remember i was
18:03there he never
18:04did sean was suspended from all teaching and research duties during the investigation his salary
18:11was stopped as well when he walked out of academic affairs so he was already standing in the corridor
18:17waiting for him sean my work has been suspended too the residency program with the art foundation called
18:24they said my spot has been cancelled when i first heard that part i felt nothing no triumph no relief
18:32he
18:32looked at her for the first time he really looked the coat the bag the lipstick all of it had
18:39been paid for
18:40with my card and me i had never spent like that even buying something small for myself i used to
18:47hesitate
18:47then sean said give the card back sean that card was for claire not for you
19:00she pulled her handbag behind her back her eyes reddened even more sean i've been with you for three years
19:06you were with me for three years she waited for me for three years zoe bit her lip and said
19:12nothing
19:13back then you kept claire and me from registering our marriage properly this was what you wanted wasn't it
19:24sean i just wanted to stay after that the legal battle turned ugly zoe refused to dissolve the
19:30spousal relationship she hired a lawyer and demanded compensation sean gave her nothing
19:35during those three years in port victoria she had already gotten plenty a respectable job residency
19:41status and the card he had handed over without a second thought what had i gotten nothing
19:48in court the two of them tore at each other until there was almost nothing left
19:52zoe was ordered to repay what she owed her reputation was ruined and she left sean did not fare much
19:59better
19:59he came back to my hometown several times to look for me but the people all told him the same
20:04thing
20:04i had never gone back he kept traveling back and forth day after day passed then month after month
20:12by the time i heard the rest his life had already been stripped down to almost nothing
20:17no job no home no one
20:23a year later i was at the port victoria art fair claire i turned around i saw sean the moment
20:31i saw him the
20:32smile faded from my face there was no surprise no anger no grievance nothing at all it was just like
20:39the last time i had looked at him from the doorway of his office there were only a few steps
20:44left
20:44between us then a hand came across in front of him and stopped him sir what exactly do you want
20:50with my
20:50your wife your wife
20:55she's my wife it's fine i'll handle it mr sterling do you need something
21:06claire i've been looking for you for a year
21:09as for the marriage certificate i can explain mr sterling it has been a year my husband and i are
21:16doing very well you made me wait for three years he has never made me wait even three days
21:24at the time i had no money no connections and no way to leave port victoria i worked part-time
21:29jobs
21:30trying to save enough to pay the penalty first and buy a ticket out adrian could stand in a gallery
21:35for half an hour just to ask me how i read a painting what you could never give me he
21:39gave
21:39back to me one by one legal status respect and the chance to become myself again sean stood there and
21:47said nothing i looked at him for a few seconds i have things to do i'll be going now
21:54i turned away adrian followed beside me his hand resting lightly at the small of my back behind me sean
22:00instinctively took a step forward adrian turned his head and looked at him he did not say a word the
22:05meaning in his eyes was obvious enough don't come any closer sean stopped i did not look back again
22:11by the time i disappeared into the crowd he was still standing there the exhibition hall was full
22:16of people moving back and forth and in front of him was the painting i had been standing before
22:20for its title was leaving port
