00:00 I'm filing for divorce.
00:02 You... you what?
00:06 James Taylor is sick and in early termination of the marriage contract.
00:18 I know we were supposed to be married for three years, according to the contract, but...
00:25 Anna returned early, so...
00:29 I saw you were leaving me.
00:30 I'm releasing you from this obligation.
00:32 And look, honey, finally, you can be free.
00:36 You can live your own life.
00:38 I promise.
00:39 I'll agree to any terms regarding the property division.
00:44 Do you really want this?
00:48 It's good that we didn't have a child together.
00:56 Yeah, of course.
00:57 It's all for the best.
00:58 We will divorce without any unnecessary problems.
01:03 After that conversation, I couldn't bring myself to tell James about the... pregnancy.
01:11 Suddenly, I felt nauseous again.
01:15 Are you okay?
01:18 Yes, I... I need to go.
01:24 I felt miserable locked in a room in my own home.
01:28 How long had I been sitting here? An hour, two?
01:32 My thoughts were interrupted by James.
01:35 Hi.
01:39 You know the fact, grandpa?
01:42 I'll never agree with divorce if I'll mention to him about it.
01:47 So, it's better for all of us if you'll do it.
01:53 I'll do it.
01:54 Okay, I'll do it.
01:56 But don't make it seems like our decision.
01:59 I was just a girl from a troubled family.
02:05 My mother was a nurse and my father was a gambler.
02:08 Such a family could never match up to the glorious Taylor's family.
02:13 One day, my mother witnessed a terrible accident and selflessly saved two people.
02:20 James's father and grandfather.
02:23 In return, the grandfather promised to take care of me.
02:29 And when I was left an orphan, he arranged my marriage to his grandson.
02:34 Hey.
02:41 You shouldn't be upset.
02:46 I warned you before we get married that I have my own love.
02:50 Yeah, you're right.
02:52 Why is your face so pale? Are you alright?
02:57 It's not serious. It's... Don't worry. It's just like... I've got this period.
03:04 [Suspense music]
03:06 Emily.
03:21 There was a thing.
03:22 There's been a slight problem with your anniversary gift.
03:28 So I've ordered a new one and Alex will deliver it to you soon.
03:33 When James left, I fell into a deep sleep for a while.
03:45 Hello, ma'am.
03:55 Oh, hello.
03:57 And this is given to you by Mr. James's order.
04:00 Well, thank you, Alex.
04:03 My pleasure.
04:04 Last month, I saw a pair of jade earrings in a jewelry store that would perfectly match the jade bracelet grandfather had given me.
04:13 Emerald green, beautiful and delicate.
04:17 I fell in love with them at first sight.
04:20 James had promised to give them to me on our anniversary.
04:25 The gift box was elegantly wrapped, but it wasn't the gift I was expecting.
04:30 Please, pass on my thanks to James.
04:36 Certainly.
04:38 I'm free to go?
04:39 Yeah.
04:40 Thank you.
04:41 Thank you.
04:42 Alex, wait.
04:43 Yeah?
04:44 I baked this cake, so...
04:45 Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm really sorry, but Mr. James precisely asked me not to bring anything.
04:51 I meant sweet.
04:53 Sweet?
04:54 You do love cakes, ma'am, don't you?
05:00 Oh, yes.
05:03 Yes, don't worry.
05:05 I'll keep it. Thank you.
05:07 Thank you.
05:09 Bye.
05:10 I always knew that James didn't have a sweet tooth.
05:16 That's why I had personally prepared this cake.
05:20 It was vanilla, but not sweet at all.
05:23 Hello, James.
05:32 Thank you for your gift.
05:34 I won't be coming back tonight.
05:36 Oh. All right.
05:39 So, candlelit dinner?
05:42 Bye, Emily.
05:44 I couldn't believe it.
05:46 On the day of our second anniversary, my husband was having a candlelit dinner with another woman.
05:53 This fact instantly made me feel defeated, hopeless to the core.
05:58 I had already completely lost in this competition with Anna.
06:03 I felt a wrenching pain in my stomach from the egg allergy.
06:11 No one in this world knew about the allergy except my mother.
06:16 I promised myself that this was the last time I would be this crazy and desperate.
06:20 I was sick.
06:22 I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
06:28 Feddy doesn't love mom, but we're gonna be okay.
06:33 On this night, I tossed and turned for a long time.
06:39 And just when I was almost falling asleep, Samantha called.
06:43 Samantha called.
06:44 Hello?
06:52 James and I are on Third Avenue.
06:54 James?
06:55 He's completely wasted.
06:56 He's not with Anna?
06:58 Come and meet us. We're coming from the garden.
07:00 James was very drunk, sleeping in the backseat.
07:06 He looked as handsome as ever.
07:08 I thought that some people in this world remain perfect even when they were drunk.
07:13 Like James.
07:14 Samantha? Why is he so drunk?
07:18 Wasn't he supposed to be with Anna?
07:21 What?
07:22 Do you really want your husband to spend a night with another woman?
07:26 Husband is just too much.
07:28 We already agreed to divorce.
07:30 Um...
07:32 Come to your senses.
07:34 Have you lost your mind?
07:37 What divorce you're talking about?
07:39 Are you really ready to let him go?
07:42 That he's ready.
07:43 And I recall that you were not very invested in this marriage.
07:48 What happened?
07:49 I admit I didn't like you at the beginning, but...
07:52 You two are married and...
07:54 And you need to make an effort until...
07:57 Until what?
07:58 Until Anna interferes.
08:03 You're nothing like her and...
08:05 That's your huge advantage.
08:07 So...
08:09 This is your husband.
08:12 Take him home and let me go.
08:15 Samantha helped James out of the car and then left.
08:23 As we approached the house's entrance, we encountered James' father, Mark.
08:31 Dad? What are you doing here?
08:34 Well, well, well.
08:36 Your wife has dragged her intoxicated husband.
08:41 He's disgraceful.
08:42 Dad, please. Don't blame James.
08:45 In our celebration, he had a drink or two.
08:49 In every toast in our honor.
08:52 It would have been great if there was a reason.
08:55 Maybe...
08:59 Maybe you would like to come in?
09:00 I didn't intend to come so late.
09:02 But your grandfather and I got held up with the work.
09:06 This is a small gift from us.
09:09 Thank you.
09:10 Thank you, dad.
09:13 Thanks, grandpa.
09:15 We wish both of you happiness and love.
09:19 Oh, thank you so much.
09:23 Thank you.
09:25 [James is drunk]
09:27 Don't let him embarrass you.
09:33 Thank you.
09:36 I dragged James to the shower and was about to leave when suddenly...
09:44 Now...
09:48 Can you stay with me tonight?
09:53 James embraced me by the waist.
09:55 My heart raced uncontrollably.
09:58 It felt just like the first time I had seen him.
10:01 With butterflies fluttering wildly in my stomach.
10:05 My heart softened and suddenly I couldn't bear to push him away.
10:10 I thought this might be our last night together.
10:13 Tomorrow we would be divorcing and there would be no chance of sharing the same bed anymore.
10:19 Let this night be our last memory.
10:23 [Phone vibrates]
10:25 Yes?
10:34 Emily? Is that you?
10:36 It's Anna. She's looking for you.
10:41 I'm sorry, I crossed the line.
10:47 [Phone vibrates]
10:49 Hello?
10:54 Yes.
10:57 Yeah, I'm in town.
11:01 Mm-hm. Okay, I'll be there.
11:04 I answered the call by mistake. I'm sorry for that.
11:10 Did Anna misunderstand everything?
11:15 No, no, no. I already explained to her everything.
11:19 Okay.
11:20 I'm your husband, you're my wife. It's normal that we can walk together.
11:24 Honey? What's on your face?
11:29 Oh. I have a slight allergy.
11:40 I've taken some meds and this allergy will pass in a few days.
11:44 Are you sure? It looks serious.
11:46 Yes. Don't worry. I won't delay to visit Grandpa.
11:50 We manage everything right now and you can be with Anna.
11:54 I don't think that it's the right moment to visit Grandpa.
12:03 Because he's ill now and it's gonna be dangerous for him.
12:07 You think it will be better to tell him about our divorce after celebration?
12:12 No, no, no. I think it's gonna be better to call doctor and show him your face.
12:18 While the doctor was examining me, James was pacing from side to side like a pendulum, creating an anxious atmosphere.
12:27 So maybe you know what occurs? The allergy?
12:30 Yes, it's food allergy.
12:32 Did you have medical treatment before?
12:34 No.
12:35 No? I just wonder when you'll learn how to lie.
12:38 This morning you say you've already taken pills.
12:41 I'm sorry.
12:42 Sorry. So you have to take these pills urgently.
12:47 Three pills, two times per day, ok?
12:51 Sorry. Can I take any other treatment with no pills?
12:56 Listen, these are safe. Don't worry.
12:58 You don't have any heart conditions or anything I should know about, right?
13:02 No.
13:04 Ok. Then you're safe.
13:06 Emily, come on.
13:09 [Pills are being taken]
13:11 James, can you get me some water, please?
13:16 Sure, honey.
13:18 Doctor.
13:23 What?
13:24 I'm pregnant.
13:25 What?
13:27 Can I take these medications?
13:30 Why didn't you mention this earlier?
13:33 Of course not. If you're pregnant, then hey...
13:37 [Pills are being taken]
13:38 I have to switch you to this typical treatment. Take this.
13:41 Thank you.
13:42 So, get well soon. Thank you very much.
13:46 Thank you.
13:47 Have a nice day.
13:48 Thank you.
13:49 What is this? Why did the doctor change prescription?
13:54 Typical treatment will be also effective.
13:59 Oh, no, no, no.
14:00 Look, you're all right. It's gonna take longer.
14:04 If you wanna show up at grandfather's birthday like this, he'll think that I abused you.
14:09 Don't worry. I will explain him everything.
14:11 No, no, no. I should go and bring back the doctor.
14:14 No, no, please, wait. Please. It's me.
14:16 I told him to change my medication.
14:19 I didn't wanna tell you, but...
14:22 I had...
14:24 ...stomach aches.
14:28 These explanations were enough for James.
14:31 I wanted to get rid of the rash as soon as possible, so I started applying the cream when James suddenly showed concern.
14:38 Honey, are you sure you don't want me to help you?
14:44 Take it, if you wanna help.
14:47 No. Just politely.
14:50 Okay.
14:57 Darling, please. I can't reach my back. Could you help me?
15:01 Why you play so weird?
15:03 But you said ask me nicely.
15:07 James pretended to be annoyed, but his heart was racing.
15:13 I knew him well, so I could almost read his mind.
15:17 He thought, could he handle it if I was so tender with someone else?
15:22 James's fingers gently touched my skin, tickling me.
15:26 His breath on my ears was irresistibly enticing.
15:30 But we were interrupted by the driver.
15:33 Sorry, the car is waiting by the gate, sir.
15:38 Oh, we will go to the mall.
15:40 Aren't you working today?
15:42 No, Grandfather's birthday's soon, so we need a gift.
15:45 As soon as we entered the store, I heard a familiar voice calling out to us.
15:53 James!
15:55 I turned and saw Anna. I was shocked, almost unable to believe my eyes.
16:00 Anna was sitting in a wheelchair.
16:02 How could this happen?
16:04 I had never heard anyone mention that she had a disability.
16:08 I thought she was a dancer.
16:10 Astonished by this revelation, I stood there for a while, unable to react.
16:16 Emily? Anna?
16:18 Are you cold? I'll give you my jacket.
16:22 Thanks.
16:23 Thank you.
16:27 I'm so glad that you're here.
16:29 I came to pick out some birthday presents for your grandfather.
16:34 Um, will you help me with that?
16:36 Of course.
16:37 Thank you.
16:40 Sandy, can you please hand me some water?
16:43 Oh, yeah.
16:45 Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am. Looks like I've run out of water.
16:50 Oh, no worries. I'll get it.
16:52 As soon as James left, Anna released Sandy.
16:55 Left alone, I wanted to speak, but Anna beat me to it.
17:00 Looks like you really didn't know about my condition.
17:04 No.
17:05 Of course not. Everyone kept quiet on Grandfather's command.
17:12 Who in this family would dare to disobey his direct orders?
17:18 What does Grandpa have to do with this?
17:20 Your mother saved him, and he was willing to do everything for you to be part of his family.
17:28 Even blackmailing his grandson, or breaking up lovers, or...
17:35 I got into a car accident two years ago, when I was driving to your wedding, and I almost died.
17:46 I was supposed to finish this nonsense, but I ended up with a disability.
17:55 No, I don't believe you. Why he would lie to me?
17:59 Before our wedding, he told me that it was a voluntary decision, and that you two were no longer together.
18:07 We are not together?
18:12 Yes.
18:15 It was a compromise.
18:17 You know?
18:18 Because if he hadn't agreed with the wedding, his grandfather would have sent me abroad forever.
18:25 So that's why he planned it all out, and you will have no disagreements with the divorce.
18:33 No.
18:34 You're lying.
18:35 Oh, yeah?
18:36 Yeah.
18:38 [Music]
18:40 Oh, my God! What's going on here?
18:51 She pushed me, and she said that she will not sign any papers.
18:57 Are you okay?
18:59 Since when is it acceptable for a mistress to hug another woman's husband?
19:06 In public.
19:07 Mom, what are you doing here?
19:08 Me? I shop here. And what's your excuse? A married man embracing another woman.
19:15 I'll explain here.
19:16 No need. And do me a favor, do not call yourself my son if you're planning on doing this.
19:21 What is she doing here with you?
19:24 Linda, I'm sorry. I wanted to pick a birthday gift for Grandfather and James.
19:31 He knew what he liked, so that's why we're here.
19:35 You are not invited to the party. And as for the gift, we all know what Grandpa wants.
19:43 A great grandchild, which has nothing to do with you.
19:49 Mama!
19:51 Mom! Mom, wait!
19:55 And you, you should keep yourself together if you still want to carry the tailor's name.
20:01 When Linda left, Anna deliberately tossed her hair back over her shoulders to show me her earrings.
20:07 I recognized them immediately. Jade, just like the ones James had promised to give me for our anniversary.
20:15 Where did you get these earrings? They're so lovely.
20:19 Oh, thanks. I found them at James' place the other day, where he gave them to me.
20:29 I'll stay with Anna.
20:32 You better go with Alex, or I'll ask him to take you home.
20:37 When I returned home, I thought that my pregnancy was an incredible accident, since we always use double protection to prevent it.
20:54 My thoughts were interrupted by the butler.
20:56 Excuse me, miss.
20:58 What?
21:00 Miss Tyler's called. Said to expect her in ten minutes.
21:04 Oh, thank you, Robert.
21:07 Hello, James?
21:13 Hello, it's me. I'm very sorry, but James can't talk to you right now. I'll ask him to call you later.
21:18 Not getting a response from Anna, I hang up the phone. I felt hurt. It seemed like James was inseparable from Anna.
21:26 It was evident that he wanted a divorce as quickly as possible.
21:29 If not for his grandfather, we could have had the divorce papers that very morning and become complete strangers.
21:36 Oh, hi, mom.
21:40 I know you want a divorce.
21:46 But grandpa is ill, so should you do anything to upset him, I will never forgive you.
21:54 Mom, I would never hurt grandpa, but James and Anna-
22:00 Stop it!
22:01 Do not worry about that girl.
22:07 No one in the Taylors family would ever accept a girl like that.
22:13 Your job is to keep James.
22:17 Regardless of whether you enter this marriage for love or money.
22:28 I do hope that you will give me a grandchild soon, so I can be proud of my son again.
22:43 I didn't know whether to tell James that his mother had somehow found out about our divorce.
22:49 As soon as Linda left the house, I called James and ordered him to come to the family home.
22:55 Okay, I'll be there.
22:57 Sweetheart, go ahead with your shopping. When you're ready, I'll ask the driver to take you home, okay?
23:08 Okay. Don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself.
23:12 Okay?
23:14 Okay.
23:15 Miss, why did you ask him to stay? Aren't you afraid he'll fall in love with his wife?
23:30 Fall in love?
23:35 No. In two years of marriage, James didn't fall in love with her.
23:41 So I only have to wait one more week until their divorce.
23:46 In the family mansion, Linda was already waiting for her son.
23:55 Have you ever given a thought how your wife must feel when you parade your mistress in front of her?
24:05 Mom.
24:06 I know about the divorce. It may also remind you that your grandfather is very sick.
24:13 And should your antics hurt him even a little bit, I shall forget that you are my son.
24:21 I don't want to hear this.
24:22 Anna is not as simple as you might think she is. I know she has hidden intentions. And if you just listen to me for once...
24:32 Thank you for the tea. That's enough. Have a good day, mom.
24:37 James came home seething with barbaric anger. I could barely get up from the couch.
24:46 Oh, you came back. Look, I need to tell you something. Mom seems to know about our divorce.
24:54 Oh, really? Didn't you tell her? Weren't you the one who raided us out?
24:59 What do you mean? Of course not.
25:01 Nonsense. It was the secret between me and you. What do you want, money?
25:06 Don't say that.
25:09 Anna was right. If you don't want a divorce, why don't you just tell me? Why did we play this game?
25:20 I offered you to stay your conditions. Even if you want to take a half, you agreed her. And then you told my mom and grandpa.
25:30 I'm not playing with you. Don't judge me by yourself.
25:34 Myself?
25:37 Why did you marry me?
25:39 Answer me.
25:45 James' silence was tormenting me. I felt like I was going insane waiting for an answer. I couldn't breathe properly.
25:54 Someone was digging a deep pit in my heart, and blood was slowly pouring out.
25:59 It was so painful that I physically felt cramps in my lower abdomen. I couldn't stand on my feet.
26:06 James rushed over to me. The pain grew stronger and I fainted.
26:11 I woke up when they brought me to the hospital, and all I could think about was to save my child.
26:36 Doctor, please. Save my child.
26:39 I will try to do my best, but I can't promise you anything.
26:42 Save my child.
26:43 Save my child.
26:46 Please, don't tell my husband that I'm pregnant.
26:54 I'm pregnant.
26:56 Don't let your excitement die. The full audio series is on the Pocket FM app. Tap the link in the description to install now.
