Short filmTranscript
00:00Emma woke up in a strange room. How did she get here? Her head throbbed in pain from last night.
00:07Who did she come to this cheap hotel room with? Just then, she heard the shower in the bathroom
00:13turn on. Was the mysterious man still there? Emma felt too embarrassed to face him. Panicking,
00:22Emma collects her things, puts on her dress, and rushes out of the room.
00:26What had happened at the party? Emma tried to recall. She was drunk,
00:32celebrating being cast in her Hollywood debut. But her jealous stepsister, Stephanie,
00:38had made a scene at the bar. Why couldn't she remember what happened clearly? Did Stephanie drug
00:44her? Stephanie walked down the same lobby moments later. She had tracked Emma's phone straight to
00:53that very hotel room. Stephanie deeply envied Emma, ever since they were little girls. She
01:02couldn't accept Emma's rising success. She wanted to be the one to become Hollywood's biggest star,
01:08and she was willing to do anything for it. The next few weeks pass by in a flash,
01:15when suddenly, during the shoot of her first film, Emma discovers that she is pregnant. Emma is
01:21paralyzed with fear. How could she do the movie if she was pregnant? Who would she say the father
01:27is? Would Emma's Hollywood dreams be destroyed forever? Stuck in Stephanie's web, Emma decided
01:34to leave LA. All alone, she raised not just one, but two beautiful children, twins. But now,
01:43after five long years, she is finally going to return to Hollywood. Emma needed to find the
01:50father of her children, and to get revenge on her evil stepsister, Stephanie. Over the last five
01:58years, Stephanie was living the life that Emma had once dreamt of. She was Hollywood's biggest star.
02:06Now, Stephanie drove around LA in a gorgeous Rolls Royce.
02:10Rumor had it, it was gifted to her by a secret admirer from the industry.
02:22Through her devious ways, Stephanie had gathered many fans, and all of them wanted a piece of her.
02:29But nobody knew that behind her beautiful face, Stephanie hid many dirty secrets. As she entered
02:36Hollywood's biggest production office, she met the real secret behind her success. Hollywood's
02:41biggest producer, William Anderson. Stephanie, what are you doing here? You know better than
02:46show up at my office like this. Stephanie had risen to fame all thanks to him, but she still
02:52wasn't satisfied. She wanted William, all to herself. I know, but it's my birthday today,
02:59and I thought maybe you could come over tonight. I have back-to-back meetings all day. As I've
03:04told you before, I have business to do. William is tired of Stephanie's growing advances,
03:09but he fears that she will create a media scandal about him. It was all because he thought she had
03:15saved his public image that night. He had been high on drugs that night five years ago. The woman
03:21he met had stopped things from going out of control. But when he had sobered up in the morning,
03:27Stephanie had been the one in the hotel room. Stephanie's lies were not enough to persuade him.
03:33Deep down in his heart, William knew that Stephanie was not the woman he had spent that
03:38intoxicating night with. Stephanie, don't make me repeat myself. It's pathetic. Stephanie's ego is
03:44hurt by William's rejection. He didn't even care to wish her. All right, I understand. Good. He had
03:51never once touched Stephanie all these years, but he had spent that night with Emma without
03:57a second thought. The lifelong jealousy Stephanie had for Emma took a hold of her once again.
04:03She decided if William didn't come to her party,
04:06she would publicly embarrass him for taking advantage of her that fateful night.
04:13But little did Stephanie know that on that very day, Emma is returning to LA with her twins
04:20to find their father and confront Stephanie. In the cab as they pass that same bar,
04:26a lost memory flashed before Emma's eyes. You're safe now. Do you still want to stay?
04:33Outside the cab window, Emma suddenly spots billboards. It really was Stephanie. Her
04:40stepsister had taken everything from Emma by drugging her that night. Emma knew it was
04:45Stephanie's birthday. It was the perfect night for her to take her revenge. It was suspicious
04:51how Stephanie had become Hollywood's latest sweetheart so quickly. Emma put her kids to
04:58bed and took her car straight to her old home. But she did not know it was the venue of the night's
05:04biggest party. As she pulls into her old driveway, the paparazzi surround Emma's car.
05:11Isn't that Emma Miller? But didn't she disappear right after signing her first film?
05:16The night had already begun to take a turn. Inside the mansion, a grand party was roaring away.
05:23Dressed like a star, Stephanie made her grand entrance and waved at her guests from the balcony.
05:29But inside, she was worried about something else. Emma looks at Stephanie standing where
05:34she would be if only she did not get pregnant five years ago. How did Stephanie become the
05:40center of Hollywood's attention so quickly? Just then, Stephanie's eyes fall on Emma standing in
05:54the crowd. Her whole plan could fall apart all because of Emma. As Stephanie walks towards Emma
06:08after all these years, she is nervous. But she does not let it show in front of her guests.
06:15Emma had to run away after Stephanie had drugged her that night. But it was indeed Emma that
06:20William had spent that night with and not her. Stephanie could never let her plan fall apart so
06:26easily. You guys go on and have fun. I have some family matters to attend to. I'll catch up with
06:32you later. Follow me. Emma has her own plan. She wanted to know the whole truth from Stephanie.
06:39She has to confront her stepsister tonight. How dare you come back? I thought I made it perfectly
06:45clear that no one wants you here. Emma tells Stephanie she needs to know the truth about what
06:50happened at her Hollywood party that night five years ago. Fine, follow me. We're gonna have a
06:56little chat. Emma cautiously followed Stephanie into a private section. It was the moment that
07:01Emma had spent years waiting for. But she could not lose her cool. Wow, Emma. You really know how to pick
07:08your time, don't you? I mean, don't you know that today is my birthday? Look at how many famous people
07:14are here to celebrate me. And then you show up dressed like that. I mean, you'd have people
07:22thinking that my stepsister was a waitress. It's like you have no regard for my reputation. You're so
07:27embarrassing. Stephanie. Emma had no interest in Stephanie's fake fame. She just wanted to find the
07:34father of her children. Stephanie could help her answer that question. She tried to push Stephanie
07:40to know clearly. How did she become so famous after Emma left L.A.? You're here because you're jealous
07:46of my success. I mean, you can't accept the fact that I made something of my life. I always play
07:52the victim as pathetic. Pathetic? What's pathetic is the fact that despite me knowing your devious
07:58ways, I thought that maybe I could see you in a better light. It's so clear that you were the
08:05one who orchestrated the downfall of my career. And I have no doubt that it was you who spiked my drink
08:13that night. It was all because of your manipulations that I had to leave L.A., my career, my dreams behind.
08:21You're making up stories, Emma. Besides, you can't prove any of that. You're just bitter because your
08:27life fell apart. Bitter? You are the reason my life fell apart. You couldn't stand that I had a
08:33successful career. And you did everything in your power to destroy me. A cold sweat runs down
08:39Stephanie's spine. Her confidence wavers for a moment as she looks away from Emma as the crowd
08:46suddenly roars outside.
08:52He's here. Who are you talking about? None of your business. Afraid her secret will be out,
08:59Stephanie thought of how she would get Emma to leave. She had to make sure the two of them
09:04never meet ever again. She makes up an excuse. You know what? Listen, you're right. I've been lying
09:11to you this whole time. She tells Emma that she will tell her everything later, only if she leaves
09:16the party right now. She threatens Emma that if she doesn't leave the party right away, she will
09:22expose to the world that Emma left Hollywood because of an illegitimate pregnancy. How dare you?
09:28I don't understand why you have this much hate for me. We're supposed to be sisters, for God's sake.
09:33We're not family. I guess it's about time you find out your father's dirty little secret.
09:39One night he got drunk and he told my mom that you're not even his biological daughter.
09:45That's right. I guess your sweet mother wasn't as innocent as she pretended to be.
09:50Emma's mind raced in panic. She could not bear to hear Stephanie's lies any longer.
09:56She just wanted her children to meet their father. Stop it. Stop. You're insane. What's wrong? I
10:03thought you of all people appreciated hearing the truth. Should I go on? Can I share more?
10:08Emma tried to find the words to hurt Stephanie, but before she could say anything, Emma noticed
10:14Stephanie's expression suddenly change. She was looking wide-eyed at someone right behind Emma.
10:20As she was about to turn around to see who it was, a strong, cold voice spoke.
10:25Leave her alone.
10:27Emma's eyes lock onto the stranger. His eyes look into hers and send a chill down her spine.
10:34What was he doing here at Stephanie's birthday party? It can't be. Stephanie had her back against
10:40the wall. Was Emma going to tell William about the children? Is this how Emma's Hollywood dreams
10:46finally come true? To listen to the full audio series, install the Pocket FM app now. Pocket FM,
