Short filmTranscript
00:00Word spread that my husband's plane had crashed at sea.
00:02I broke down and tried to take my own life.
00:07I was rescued, only to discover it was April Fool's Day.
00:10I heard his lover sneer moments before I passed out.
00:13Ethan, she's so crazy about you.
00:15She'll go ballistic if she learns you fooled her.
00:18He laughed softly.
00:19She won't make a fuss.
00:20Sophie will be meek as a rabbit after the baby's born.
00:23Keep this between us.
00:24This is my final test of her love.
00:27Everyone laughed and swore to stay quiet.
00:30On the stretcher, I could cry no more.
00:31He never knew.
00:32This was my last chance for him, too.
00:34My love for him vanished, right then and there.
00:37I woke up in the hospital.
00:39There were sliced apples on the bedside table.
00:42Whenever I'd been sick before, Ethan never came.
00:45He'd send his assistant with a bag of supplements.
00:49Happy I'm still breathing?
00:51A faint mark on his neck.
00:54Ethan, let's get a divorce.
00:57Something like a smile in his eyes.
00:59Not quite.
01:00Then he made a phone call in front of me.
01:02A few minutes later, his assistant walked in with my son Noah.
01:06Noah had grown since I last saw him.
01:08A few inches taller.
01:09He was never close to me.
01:11I gave birth to him.
01:12Got through nursing.
01:13Then his grandfather took him.
01:15Only saw him on holidays.
01:16At the table.
01:17In the family estate.
01:18I knew why Ethan had brought him here.
01:20Whenever he took it too far, I'd sulk and ice him out.
01:23He'd send Noah over to keep me company.
01:25He'd done it so many times, I'd stopped counting.
01:28But that card didn't work on me anymore.
01:30A smaller copy of his father.
01:32Even the way he said my name had Ethan in it.
01:35Sophie, you're still so stiff and boring.
01:38Dad, I don't want to be here.
01:40I want to go home and play with Mama Lena.
01:43Mama Lena.
01:44No wonder he never called me Mom.
01:46He already had one.
01:47Ethan's eyes went sharp.
01:49Dad was horrible to me.
01:50I'd always taken his side before, but this time I pushed him away.
01:54Go tell Mama Lena.
01:55Ethan.
01:57I mean it about the divorce.
01:59I'm not joking.
02:01Sophie.
02:03Playing games?
02:04No one to stop.
02:11Make me angry enough.
02:13And you'll never see no one.
02:15He hadn't reacted to the word divorce.
02:17He thought it was a game.
02:18I remembered last year.
02:19An actress ended up hospitalized after a night with him.
02:23Internal bleeding.
02:24It hit the headlines.
02:25I fought him for a divorce.
02:26He locked me away.
02:28For six months, I didn't see Noah once.
02:30That was when I stopped fighting.
02:31That was also when I ran out of love for him.
02:34Ethan.
02:35When I leave the hospital, I'm moving out.
02:37He realized I wasn't bluffing.
02:40Divorce?
02:41Let's see if you have what it takes.
02:43After he left with Noah, I picked up my phone and texted an unmarked number.
02:47I've decided.
02:48I leave the day after the competition wraps.
02:50One week.
02:51I left the hospital, went back to the villa, packed light, and headed straight to the dance
02:55studio.
02:56I'd made my choice.
02:57The less entangled I was with Ethan now, the better.
03:05A colleague pulled me into the corner.
03:07Sophie, what did you do to set Mrs. Carcer off?
03:10She took your competition spot, and she got you fired.
03:13A graceful figure.
03:15Lena.
03:15Head to toe in luxury.
03:17Every bit the canary.
03:18Almost forgot.
03:19She'd been calling herself Mrs. Carter around the studio for months.
03:23She stood there, soaking up every envious look.
03:26Then her eyes found me, standing in the dark.
03:30Sorry, Sophie.
03:31My dancing ability might just be a better fit, so the studio director gave me the only
03:35competition spot.
03:36I'd ignored her scheming before, but this competition mattered to me.
03:40I wasn't about to hand it over to her.
03:42Lena.
03:43What exactly is your dancing ability?
03:45The kind that only works in a private room?
03:48And do you dare tell everyone here who you really are?
03:52She was a live streamer, got in on Ethan's name to enter the studio, used to make herself
03:57small around me.
03:59Now she was walking all over me.
04:00Enough.
04:05And who are you to talk?
04:06Bitterness rose in my throat.
04:08His mother died because of me.
04:10Nine years of marriage.
04:11Even giving him a son wasn't enough to repay his mother's life.
04:15Drunk one night.
04:17You're here to pay your debt, not to enjoy yourself.
04:20Don't forget what you are.
04:23Ethan stepped closer, dropped his voice.
04:25If you want to keep this job, you'll move back to the estate.
04:29Obediently.
04:30That was when I understood.
04:31He was the director.
04:33Gave my competition spot to Lena.
04:35Then he leaned on the studio owner to get me fired.
04:38He wanted me to give in.
04:39To walk back the divorce on my own.
04:41Wings strong enough?
04:42Want out of my control?
04:44Fine.
04:45I'll snap them off.
04:46Then, let's see how you fly.
04:48He made a call.
04:49Then my best friend messaged me.
04:51Sophie, maybe I've made an enemy.
04:52I got promoted last month.
04:54My manager just called me in.
04:56They're letting me go.
04:59As I walked out, Lena's mocking voice followed me.
05:05Sophie, you're also nothing without a man.
05:07Thought you had so much backbone.
05:11You're forgetting something.
05:12We're still married.
05:14He's still my husband.
05:18Who gave you the nerve to come after Lena in front of me?
05:21Have you already forgotten every word of my warning?
05:24A needle-sharp pain in my chest.
05:26Nine years, and he never once acknowledged me publicly.
05:29People knew he was married.
05:31They also knew he had no shortage of women on the side.
05:34The competition slot was gone.
05:35And with it, any reason to wait out the week.
05:38That thought was the only thing that eased me.
05:43I texted that number again.
05:45Don't wait a week.
05:46I'm leaving in two days.
05:47Back at the estate, I sat on the couch.
05:50Ethan came home early for once.
05:52I thought about who I used to be.
06:04Long day, babe.
06:06I learned a new massage.
06:08Want me to...
06:09Years of it.
06:10Work, then him.
06:11Everything else was just him.
06:13Over and over.
06:14Not once did he look at me kindly.
06:16Watching it from the outside now.
06:17I could barely stand it.
06:19How stupid I'd been.
06:22What are you thinking about?
06:24Running away?
06:25If I were, what would you do?
06:28You don't want another son.
06:30Fine.
06:30Have a daughter.
06:32She would be more obedient.
06:33Keep you company and make your life here easier.
06:35The staff saw how Ethan treated me when I married in.
06:38My soft nature didn't help.
06:39Nobody respected me.
06:41Every dirty job landed on me.
06:42I never complained to him.
06:44Too in love to bother.
06:45He saw all of it.
06:46He did nothing.
06:46My thoughts came back to the present.
06:50Almost punishing.
06:51No matter how he tried to draw me in, I didn't react.
06:54So that was what it felt like.
06:55When you stop loving someone, your body just stop responding.
06:59Ethan lost interest.
07:01I know your body, Sophie.
07:03That's not how you're supposed to react.
07:06Tell me.
07:07Have you slept with someone outside?
07:10He slept around constantly.
07:11But he had his rule.
07:13No other man could touch what his was.
07:15A security guard at the studio liked to watch me dance.
07:17Ethan saw it.
07:18The man was fired by end of day and charged with harassment.
07:24Exactly what you think.
07:26I've slept with every single man in that studio.
07:28Gonna have them all arrested?
07:30Is that right?
07:33He actually thought I was telling the truth.
07:36If you're dirty, I'll clean you up.
07:38Cold water all at once.
07:40My skin broke out in goosebumps.
07:41I fought against his hands.
07:43Couldn't move them.
07:44The cold hit.
07:45PTSD took over.
07:4713 years old.
07:48My parents' plane going down.
07:50I was back there.
07:54Ethan thought I was faking.
07:56You're here to pay your debt.
07:57Not to enjoy yourself.
07:59Same words.
08:00Again.
08:00I'd lost count.
08:01That was our normal.
08:03Nine out of ten words out of his mouth had teeth.
08:05My eyes went blank.
08:08Ethan panicked.
08:10He carried me to the bed.
08:12What's wrong?
08:13Where are you hurting?
08:15Ethan, you've tortured me long enough.
08:18Let us both free!
08:19Rage hit.
08:22So desperate to divorce me?
08:24Found someone new?
08:26I said nothing.
08:27Tears crawled down my face.
08:28At least after tomorrow, I'd be gone.
08:30The next morning, Ethan texted me.
08:33Want me to sign?
08:35Come to the Marriott.
08:36Street 708.
08:37I've already had the staff prepare your outfit.
08:39A fitted silk dress.
08:40Cut to show off broad shoulders and a waist.
08:42I pushed the door open.
08:44Loud room.
08:44Every eye on me.
08:46Lena's smile was unbearable to look at.
08:48Sophie, Mr. Walsh wanted someone to dance for him.
08:52I tweaked my ankle.
08:53Sorry to put this on you.
08:54The man's eyes moved over me greedily.
08:57That was why Ethan had me there.
08:58To dance in Lena's place.
09:02You want a divorce?
09:04I'll give you one.
09:06Dance until he's satisfied.
09:07Then I'll sign.
09:11They all said you had a waist worth seeing.
09:14Now I see it.
09:20Relax.
09:21I promised Ethan just to feel.
09:23Nothing more.
09:23Dance till I'm satisfied.
09:25I'll sign Carter Group's contract for the second half of the year.
09:28I looked at Ethan.
09:29Disbelief.
09:29Everyone in the industry knew Walsh.
09:31Obsessed with narrow waist.
09:33One look and he couldn't move.
09:34The last woman sent his way ended up in the hospital.
09:37Fractured spine.
09:38Didn't get far.
09:40Sophie.
09:41Stop overreacting.
09:42It's just a touch.
09:43You won't be any less for it.
09:44This is the price of your negotiation.
09:50So that was the price of the course.
09:51The air was thick.
09:53Sweet.
09:53Wrong.
09:54The drugged incense hit me.
09:55My skin burned.
09:56My thoughts scattered.
09:57Garden.
09:58No.
09:58Hard.
09:58Hard.
09:58Gay.
