03:31this is my bedroom what's going on wasn't i dead noel stop sleeping and get up can you have a
03:39little

04:02divorcing
04:03you fine let's get a divorce why do you have to take it so seriously i just want you to
04:10work as hard
04:11as jocelyn does i lost my job recently you're all we've got i'm going to sleep now don't bother me
04:19don't you have an important client meeting this morning if you don't leave now you're gonna be
04:22late in my last life i got into that accident on my way to meet that exact client i'd been
04:28running
04:28on fumes for two months straight pushing myself to the brink of exhaustion but ethan didn't want me
04:34to rest every time i stopped he'd tear into me then let him wait or better yet let jocelyn go
04:40meet him isn't she supposed to be better than me at everything he's been comparing me to jocelyn
04:47ever since our first year of dating he'd humiliate me in front of other people all the time over the
04:53years he conditioned me to become insecure and weak he had me completely under his thumb because of
04:59that i was always guilty around him always feeling like i hadn't given him a better life i should have
05:04seen it a long time ago he probably got together with jocelyn ages ago noel this is not the time
05:10to be
05:10stubborn what about the client he specifically asked for you if you don't show up isn't that
05:14standing him up are you going or not i'm not going since you want money so badly you go
05:21since jocelyn's got that system why should i bother working isn't jocelyn so good at making money
05:27let's see how much he makes without me
05:33i slept all the way until the afternoon
05:40in my last life ethan said this was marital property and wouldn't let me send any money to
05:45my family in this life not a single cent i earned with my life is staying with him
05:56noel what did you do this afternoon why is there a million dollars missing from our joint account
06:01transfer it back right now ethan don't be so loud let's talk nicely noel don't mind him he's just
06:07anxious jocelyn every time i argue with my husband you just happen to be there why noel ethan told me
06:13about it he was upset and came to me for advice that's how i found out oh so the moment
06:18you noticed
06:18the money was missing instead of asking me first you went straight to her i who i go to for
06:23advice
06:23is my business don't play games with me who did you transfer that million to if you don't tell me
06:27right now i transferred it to my parents got a problem with that what gives you the right to
06:32transfer it without telling me half of that money is mine exactly noel doing something like that is
06:39bound to make him suspicious my husband and i are arguing since when is this any of your business
06:44noel how dare you talk to her like that jocelyn is just trying to help us don't be so ungrateful
06:49forget it forget it i'm done talking you two deal with your own marriage i just didn't want to see
06:54money come between you don't go this isn't your fault wow what a performance anyone watching would
07:01think you two are a married couple you you dare to push me since she's so great why don't you
07:10marry
07:10her i think jocelyn likes you well enough you two should get together leave me out of it how can
07:15you
07:15think that about your own husband we have a pure friendship only someone as filthy minded as you
07:20who sees phil in everything whatever you say now get out of my way let's go noel don't be mad
07:31we really are innocent ethan is just upset right now let me go talk some sense into him for you
07:37but that million dollars you really should transfer it back don't let a little money like this come
07:42between you two sure go take him out to clear his head return the car whenever you have time
07:51don't worry i'll talk some sense into him logical speaking jocelyn already have 10 million why does
07:57she care so much about that 1 million of mine so much she let ethan come make a scene in
08:02front me
08:02and kept pushing to have it trans back herself is that million really that important to her
08:08this is my new car i bought the best dash cam i could find it records both video and audio
08:14from
08:14inside the cabinet let's see what they're plotting how could you let her not go to that contract meeting
08:19do you have any idea how long i've been planning this noel has to die that's the only way we
08:24get to
08:24keep all that money for good do you understand or not what's your rush noel refused to go herself
08:30it's not like i could drag her there besides what's wrong with letting her live a few more days and
08:34make us some more money greeds to mistakes the system has its pros and its cons if noel transfers
08:40there's out a large sum of money i get penalized 10 times over 10 10 times so if she transferred
08:45away a million this time that means you that's exactly why i'm in such a rush for you to fix
08:48this
08:49you thought i was joking a tenfold penalty that means jocelyn just lost 10 million no wonder
08:55transferring out only a million has thrown them into such chaos so we have to take care of this loose
09:00end for good understand the rest is up to you have i ever let you down just give me some
09:05time
09:05i'll make sure she doesn't come back tonight sweetheart noel isn't home yet how about we
09:13these two people one is the man i'd had a crush on since high school one is my best friend
09:18from
09:18college i thought i finally had a husband who loved me and a best friend who understood me
09:23instead they not only shamelessly betrayed me and slept together but now they want to kill me a second time
09:29i want nothing more than to catch them in the act right now and expose everything but i can't blow
09:33my cover yet if i divorce ethan now he'll inevitably walk away with half my assets that's absolutely not
09:39happening besides i also want to know what exactly their scheme is all these years of marriage i bent
09:47over backward for ethan terrified he would get tired of me and leave even then it was never enough for
09:52him he still humiliated me in public jaceline wanted me dead and ethan handed her the knife
09:58how could i ever expect any real love from someone like that
10:04i stuck it out with her for years living poor just for you you'd better make it up to me
10:09aren't you afraid noel's ghost will see might give her sleepless nights
10:17and why should i be afraid of her when she was alive she was just my little puppy
10:22next life i'll crook my finger and she'll come crawling right back but i'm not the same noel
10:27for my last life what they owed me then i'm going to take back every last bit in this life
10:35honey we're having a class reunion tonight at rose bar you want to come everyone says they miss you

29:02you're the one who lost
29:05you groveled at ethan's feet for years
29:07but he was just a toy i played with
29:09even if i go to prison
29:10he'll never look up to you
29:12for the rest of your life
29:13the man you love will never love you back
29:19jocelyn
29:20after everything that's happened
29:22all you can still think about is a man
29:24do you really think i care who that cheating piece of trash likes
29:28i'm sorry
29:29but watching you treat the garbage i threw away like some kind of treasure is just pathetic
29:34that's impossible
29:35you've always cared about ethan the most
29:38you're just pretending
29:40think whatever you want
29:43i don't need to prove anything to you
29:45oh and by the way
29:47how's that system of yours doing
29:49you knew

30:01suspicion
30:02that will make her life truly undorable
30:04for the rest of her days she'll be trapped in doubt and paranoia
30:08that is my final punishment for her
30:11luke and i made our relationship official
30:14it made me feel what true love is all over again
30:18turns out loving someone means running towards each other
30:22when i was racking my brain to find the perfect gift for him
30:25he was doing the same for me
30:27when i was with ethan
30:28he only ever gave me a brief grudgeoning kiss when i handed him a gift
30:32and i used to be so moved by that kiss i'd fall apart
30:35but with luke
30:36hugs and kisses are everyday things
30:38they're not favors
30:39because he genuinely loves me
30:42noel
30:43i finally realize how precious your love for me was
30:46this crush injury
