00:00Mr. Roy, that's Veronica Quinn, our newest performer.
00:10A one-in-a-million star, but just like every sob story you've heard around here,
00:15she has a sick mother and needs money urgently.
00:19Though short on cash and super popular, she keeps her distance.
00:24Our guests aren't particularly fans of that.
00:30Yeah, you're done here.
00:52What, is my dancing not good enough for you?
00:54No, it's good.
00:56It's so good, I only want you to dance for me now.
00:57But, I don't even know your name.
01:03I'm Lawrence Roy, Veronica, and I'm going to make sure you never have to pay for your mom again.
01:07I should tell Lawrence I'm pregnant.
01:22But, it might mean the end of our relationship.
01:36But, it might mean the end of our relationship.
01:48I'm a stranger.
01:54You know we have maids to do chores, right?
02:14Right, your hands are too delicate.
02:16I'm a stranger.
02:24I don't want you.
02:28Right here.
02:33Right now.
02:34Hey.
02:37My lord.
02:39I have to tell you.
02:40Shh, shh, shh.
02:43What do I do?
02:46I actually went for a chocolate.
02:56Sir, we've located a woman who saved you five years ago.
03:08Um, yeah, okay, I'll be right there.
03:11Are you leaving already?
03:16Yeah, it's urgent. I gotta run.
03:18Miss Quinn, it's time for you to leave.
03:29And here's your compensation, as usual.
03:34Miss Quinn, must I remind you that your arrangement with Mr. Roy is strictly contractual.
03:42And you are not permitted to loiter on his property in his absence.
03:47And please remember to take your contraceptives.
03:52Do not even think about trapping Mr. Roy with a bastard child.
04:00Failure to comply?
04:01Well, you are aware of the $5 million penalty.
04:05Ms. Quinn, your mother is about to begin her next round of treatment.
04:23Please ensure that the overdue bill is cleared before the cycle starts.
04:26Mom, I have a new dance choreography that you will love.
04:45Please get better and come see me dance.
04:49You know, I'm becoming a mother soon.
04:55And I'm so lost.
04:59I only became Lawrence's contract lover to cover the medical bill.
05:04And I could never think that I could actually truly fall in love with him.
05:09I want to keep this baby.
05:10I want what Lawrence and I have to be real.
05:15Not just physical.
05:18But love for each other.
05:34Oh shit!
05:36Sir, you are incredibly fortunate.
05:57Not only did that lady save her life on the spot, she also donated her blood.
06:02She even shares a rare blood type.
06:04Well, where is she now?
06:05She disappeared without any trace.
06:08This is what she left behind.
06:11The name embroidered on it is torn.
06:14But we know one thing.
06:16This belonged to her.
06:18Okay, then find the best color to fix these.
06:21And find her for me.
06:23Yes, sir.
06:27Please let me find you.
06:28So, didn't you have something that you wanted to tell me earlier?
06:36Um, well, actually, so, my dance studio has a bunch of these new kids, including these adorable twins.
06:51And it got me thinking, do you even like kids?
06:58No.
06:59I hate the non-stop crying of children, but I was thinking now that it's time we terminate our contract.
07:11And, uh, because I'm getting engaged.
07:17Oh, my beautiful sister.
07:30I am thrilled to have you here for my engagement.
07:35Your engagement?
07:37Mm-hmm.
07:39Your engagement?
07:41We can't let Veronica know about Elena marrying Lawrence in her place, pretending to be his lifesaver.
07:46This wedding has to happen.
07:48Poor Elena.
07:59These are Veronica's shoes.
08:02Hello, Mr. Crowder.
08:03Hi.
08:03Hi.
08:04I'm Lawrence Roy.
08:05Listen, I believe your daughter, she saved me about five years ago today.
08:11Lawrence Roy?
08:13The young business tycoon of the Roy family?
08:15Yeah.
08:16What do you mean, my daughter saved you?
08:18Well, I had a car.
08:19Mr. Roy, this is our daughter Elena.
08:22Those are her shoes.
08:24You're Elena?
08:25Yeah.
08:26It's been forever trying to find you.
08:28Listen, I can't thank you guys enough with my words, so I'm here to repay you anything you guys want, whatever you desire.
08:36Anything?
08:37Yeah, if you want money, power, whatever you guys desire, I can give it to you.
08:43I want to be your wife.
08:45Okay.
08:46I want to be your wife.
08:52Sorry?
08:52I said, I want to be your wife.
08:58I'm sorry.
08:59I think you misunderstood what I'm trying to say.
09:00No, no.
09:01Lawrence.
09:03Saving you five years ago was just the beginning of our fate.
09:08All I ask now is to be your wife.
09:11Okay.
09:12I mean, I can guarantee you and your family are set up financially, but as far as love goes, trying to have feelings...
09:24No, Lawrence.
09:24It's okay.
09:25It's okay.
09:25So long as I can call you my husband, that's enough.
09:30Just wait, Lawrence.
09:32I'll make sure you fall in love with me.
09:37Well, congratulations on your engagement.
09:39Wait, who's the lucky guy?
09:42Is he here right now?
09:45No, no, no, no.
09:46But, oh my God.
09:47He's the total package.
09:49He's tall, handsome, successful, and from a very prestigious family.
09:55Veronica, how's your mom doing?
09:58My mom is still undergoing treatment right now.
10:03Those expenses.
10:04Do you have enough money?
10:06I could...
10:06Elena's wedding will need every penny we have.
10:09Dear, Elena.
10:10Right, right.
10:12Weddings can be quite the hassle.
10:15Sweetie, can you stay a few more days and give us a hand?
10:18We can stay one night, but once the wedding guests start to arrive, it's going to get a little crowded.
10:23Well, I'll stay tonight, and I'll leave first thing in the morning tomorrow.
10:30No, no.
10:30Stay a few more days for my sake.
10:32You can help me pick out my wedding dress tomorrow.
10:35It'll be like a fun little bonding experience, and you can meet my fiancé.
10:40Oh my God.
10:47This wedding dress looks like what's made for you.
10:51Veronica, my shoe needs a little bit of fixing.
10:53Can you help me?
10:59Baby, you're here!
11:01Elena's fiancé's Lawrence?
11:03How could this happen?
11:06Why him?
11:08Who's this?
11:09This is my sister, and my meet-up honor, and Veronica, this is my fiancé, Lawrence.
11:16I have a great idea.
11:20You should try on dresses too, over here.
11:22Oh, thank you.
11:25Yes.
11:26Okay, try this.
11:28Go.
11:28How did you get in here?
11:41Yeah, I didn't know.
11:42Why are you here?
11:44My sister's getting engaged, and I'm helping her.
11:48Why the hell are you here?
11:50I heard that, yeah.
11:51Your sister.
11:53It's really funny, actually.
11:54You shouldn't believe that.
11:57Believe it or not, Elena's your fiancé.
12:03Come on.
12:05Why are you really here?
12:06Because you know, you know the contract isn't exactly off the table yet, right?
12:17Lawrence, enough.
12:19We're engaged.
12:20Come on.
12:22When did you eat all those thrills?
12:25I don't have to tell you, but I will.
12:27I mean, there was a balcony, countless times in my bathroom, in my bathtub.
12:32My sister, your fiancé's outside.
12:41Or do you want this to go public?
12:45You know she's in the bathroom, right?
12:49Right.
12:57Sorry.
12:57Have you seen the guy that was here?
13:02Or it said, stop.
13:07Stop, Lawrence.
13:28That tailoring here, I tell you, is just not...
13:32It's terrible, isn't it?
13:34It doesn't even match your beauty at all.
13:37It's fine, though.
13:37We'll just find another place.
13:39Another time?
13:40Yeah.
13:40Yeah.
13:40Okay, let's go, then.
13:41Come on.
13:42I thought that wedding dress was pretty.
13:55Is Veronica really your sister?
13:58What's wrong?
14:01Do you two know each other?
14:02No.
14:03No.
14:03We just...
14:05I don't know, you guys just don't really look alike, is all...
14:08Yeah.
14:09Well, we're worlds apart.
14:11You know, I'm a classy girl with refined tastes in arts and culture.
14:16I've been practicing classical ballet since I was a kid.
14:19Mm-hmm.
14:20But Veronica, she's all about money.
14:24And as a result, she works at all kinds of places.
14:27Like what?
14:31You know, like bars, clubs, especially the ones where women perform erotic dances for men.
14:39It's just a hard-knock life for her, I guess.
14:41Mm-hmm.
14:41Mr. Roy, that's Veronica Quinn, our newest performer.
14:55A one-in-a-million star, but just like every sob story you've heard around here,
15:00she has a sick mother and needs money urgently.
15:03Though short on cash and super popular, she keeps her distance.
15:08Huh, our guests aren't particularly fans of that.
15:34You know, you're done here.
15:35What, is my dancing not good enough for you?
15:39No, it's good.
15:40It's so good, I only want you to dance for me now.
15:44But I don't even know your name.
15:48I'm Lawrence Roy, Veronica, and I'm gonna make sure you never have to pay for your mama yet.
15:59Honey, what's wrong?
16:00Didn't you find a dress you like?
16:01There's something going on between Veronica and Lawrence.
16:06Then don't let her show up at the engagement party.
16:09We can't risk everyone knowing about her.
16:11No.
16:13No, she has to come.
16:14She has always overshadowed me, and now I finally have the man of everyone's dreams.
16:20I just want to see her be the jealous one for once.
16:23Lisa, I should probably go now.
16:30And, Elena, congratulations.
16:35No, please don't leave.
16:37I mean, you have to come to my engagement party.
16:40You wouldn't miss my big day, right?
16:41Okay.
16:41Is that a pink diamond?
16:55Mr. Roy must really love you.
16:57It's gorgeous.
16:58I'm so jealous.
17:05Isn't it beautiful, Veronica?
17:06She could wear at least a pair of earrings not to look so out of displays.
17:13She probably couldn't afford it.
17:15Showing up to such a grand event like this?
17:18So tacky.
17:20Oh, no.
17:21My sister is pretty enough.
17:23Even without the earrings.
17:24I hope you like him that custom man.
17:36LA Shoes.
17:37Look, I know you missed your performance because of me.
17:40LA Shoes?
17:42Why did Elena learn ballet?
17:44Five years ago, I missed the Flora Goddess audition for saving someone from a car accident.
17:49Consider this my apology.
17:50In fact, why don't you perform for all of us?
17:55How could I possibly dance ballet?
17:57Oh.
17:59Unfortunately, Elena injured her ankle during rehearsal this week.
18:04And I think it's best that we save her performance until the wedding.
18:09Yes.
18:10I'm so sorry.
18:12But I do think it's better if we save it for the wedding so we can share it with everyone together.
18:18Okay.
18:22Okay.
18:23We can't make up the skill, alright?
18:26We're just going to simplify the choreography.
18:28Okay.
18:29Okay, but no one can know that I don't know how to dance.
18:32Okay?
18:32Why?
18:33Why not?
18:34Because Lawrence likes girls who dance and he thinks I've been doing it my whole life.
18:38So, look, Raymond.
18:39I know that you've always liked Veronica, right?
18:42If you help me, I will do my absolute best to bring you two together, okay?
18:48Please.
18:48Please, please.
18:49Okay.
18:52Everyone, please excuse Elena for her injuries and allow me the liberty to perform for you all.
18:59Ronnie, may I have this dance?
19:02It's been a while.
19:04I've missed you.
19:05It's been five years since our last rehearsal.
19:12It's a shame you don't perform anymore.
19:15We worked so well together.
19:18Would you ever return to the stage with me?
19:19You know, I really miss dancing, but I just don't think it's the right time right now.
19:30Ronnie, I've waited five years to ask you this.
19:32Are you single now?
19:35Are you single now?
20:06Wow. Raymond, you and Veronica seem very well-acquainted.
20:17Yeah, um, me and Raymond have actually known each other for years.
20:22Ronnie was, and still is, my best partner.
20:26Yeah, I remember when they used to hang out all the time. I legit thought that Raymond was Veronica's boyfriend.
20:32Are you okay?
20:37Oh, excuse me, sorry.
20:47What's your relationship with Raymond?
20:49It's really not what your business.
20:51Do you want to remind you that you can only dance for me?
20:53To give the same gifts to all your girlfriends.
20:55All my girlfriends, are you jealous?
21:00Lawrence, you're a damn joke. We can't be doing this. The contract is over.
21:05Okay, so then what? You're just trying to look for a new sponsor or something?
21:08You know, it's Raymond.
21:09You know, you fucking love jailbinding, don't you?
21:15You know, you're acting like this while you're about to my sister.
21:18Lawrence, are you in here?
21:36Lawrence, are you in here?
21:43Veronica, have you seen Lawrence?
21:45No, I haven't seen him.
21:48Oh, my God.
21:49What happened to your neck? Are you hurt?
21:51No, I'm not. I'm just a little tired. I'm going to go home, if that's okay.
21:54Bye.
22:15Hey.
22:24Hi.
22:26That engagement party was just really exhausting.
22:28Are you not tired?
22:30Tired?
22:30No, not at all.
22:33For us, the night's just getting started.
22:36You know, maybe I think that it's time for us to celebrate just the two of us.
22:41I'm sorry.
22:45I can't.
22:47Tonight, Melina.
22:57I'm assuming.
22:58Hello?
23:02Asshole.
23:03Asshole.
23:03Asshole.
23:05Asshole.
23:07Asshole.
23:08Asshole.
23:09Asshole.
23:11Veronica?
23:16Veronica?
23:20Why does Veronica have the same ring as me?
23:23And why does Lawrence have the ring?
23:27What happened to your neck? Are you hurt?
23:29No, I'm not. I'm just a little tired. I'm going to go home.
23:32They've known each other all along.
23:33Mom?
23:34It's Veronica.
23:35It's Veronica.
23:36That bitch stole my fiancé.
23:37What?
23:38That little slut.
23:39Don't worry, darling. I'll deal with her myself.
23:41I'll deal with her.
23:42I'll deal with her.
23:43I'll deal with her myself.
23:46That bitch stole my fiance.
23:48What?
23:49That little slut.
23:52Don't worry, darling.
23:53I'll deal with her myself.
24:01Dad!
24:04Are you home?
24:07Veronica, why are you here so late?
24:09You said you'd be gone by now.
24:11I have a house full of friends and family.
24:13I've got no room for you.
24:16I'm just here to say goodbye to my dad.
24:18He's not here.
24:19Go now.
24:20I need some rest.
24:38Hey, Nina.
24:40Woo!
24:42What's up?
24:43All alone?
24:47We need some company?
24:48Huh?
24:49What's going on?
24:50Hey, wait!
24:51Hey!
24:51Hey!
24:53Shut up!
24:54Fucking bitch!
24:55You fucking bitch!
24:59Shut up, you fucking bitch!
25:02Oh, who's that?
25:04Who's that?
25:06Is that your daddy?
25:08The boys want to keep going?
25:08What are you doing?
25:09Huh?
25:10Huh?
25:10Hey, hey!
25:10No one!
25:11Whoa!
25:12Whoa!
25:12Whoa!
25:14Are you okay?
25:16Are you okay?
25:16Look at me.
25:17See ya?
25:17Look at you.
25:21You can just stay here for the time being.
25:24Just for one night until I get myself sorted out.
25:30I'll pay you.
25:32What are you trying to do?
25:33Just push me away.
25:34We can't keep doing this.
25:36I don't need you.
25:37Let me go.
25:39Yeah?
25:39Go where?
25:40To the dance teacher?
25:41It's none of your business!
25:43You're marrying my sister!
25:45And I don't want her to know about our ugly contractual relationship.
25:49Our ugly contractual relationship?
25:52Is that all you think of us?
25:53Yes, asshole.
25:54Oh, God.
25:58Are you okay?
25:58Are you sick?
25:59S-
26:00Go.
26:17Find those men.
26:18Make sure they never see the sun again.
26:20Uh, honey?
26:40Yes?
26:41Did you and Veronica know each other before?
26:44That has nothing to do with our wedding.
26:46Get that crossed the line, though.
26:47I'm marrying you for marriage, not love, okay?
26:50Gotta remember that.
26:53So, Lawrence, you do care about Veronica?
27:00Yeah.
27:01You, um, you really are incredible at dancing, still.
27:04Oh, thank you.
27:05I appreciate that.
27:07Director Lucas is looking for new dancers.
27:10Do you, um, care to give that a shot?
27:13I mean, um, I'm not ready to dance right now, but if you guys have some teaching gigs available, I'd love that.
27:26My friend's studio is hiring teachers for children.
27:31I mean, I got some experience, so...
27:34Yeah.
27:35True.
27:35Veronica!
27:38What a coincidence.
27:40Look at the two of you.
27:42So sweet.
27:45We're just catching up.
27:47Yeah, um, anything Veronica needs, I will provide.
27:52Do you guys, uh, care to join us?
27:54No.
27:55No need.
27:56Bye.
27:57Uh, you know, I'll reach out to him and I'll see if he can, uh, help you, uh, out there.
28:03Yeah.
28:05Well, cheers to that.
