Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Emma had just caught her fiancé, Nathan, cheating with her biggest rival the night before their wedding.
00:00:07This whole forbidden affair really revs me up.
00:00:13It's her last night as a bachelor.
00:00:17I can't stand the thought of giving me...
00:00:19As if that wasn't bad enough, a positive pregnancy test that didn't belong to her was lying in Nathan's trash can.
00:00:27Emma was devastated.
00:00:30Despite his infidelity, Emma planned to go through with the marriage, then divorce Nathan for half of his fortune as payback.
00:00:41Please leave a message at the tone.
00:00:43Do we smell again?
00:00:46God, who's late to their own wedding day?
00:00:50But Emma never cared about money.
00:00:53She loved Nathan, and secretly hoped that things could still work between them.
00:01:00Finally, Nathan, where the hell have you been?
00:01:02Emma, Emma, listen. Something's come up. Amber is sick.
00:01:06Amber? Who cares? How is that your problem?
00:01:09You know she's my agency's top model, and she's supposed to pose for the Bellam jewelry show today.
00:01:13Today is our wedding day, you slimy piece...
00:01:17Bellam's an important client. I can't afford to disappoint them.
00:01:21Besides, Amber is your friend. I thought you'd have a little compassion, Emma.
00:01:26Compassion?
00:01:27Look, I can't talk right now. We'll reschedule the wedding. Goodbye.
00:01:32Nathan.
00:01:32What was supposed to be the happiest day of her life had become a total nightmare.
00:01:47No, Dad. I have no idea why she left.
00:01:50Maybe one of your ridiculous contracts scared her off.
00:01:53I want you to take responsibility.
00:01:55You're supposed to be the CEO soon.
00:01:58Don't you care about the company?
00:01:59Many appearances matter, Eric.
00:02:02The board won't accept a bachelor as their CEO.
00:02:06Fine. Find me a suitable bride, and I will sign the paperwork.
00:02:10I had a suitable bride. You scared her off.
00:02:14Find yourself a wife in the next 24 hours, or our company goes down the drain!
00:02:19And put the damn bow tie back on!
00:02:21Interesting.
00:02:28Hot, eligible bachelor looking for a wife.
00:02:32I added a few names, sir.
00:02:34I don't have a choice.
00:02:35So just get somebody here as quickly as you can, okay?
00:02:37Right away, Mr. Rapp.
00:02:38A wild idea struck Emma like a bolt of lightning.
00:02:44This was how she would get revenge on her cheating fiancé.
00:02:48Hi.
00:02:49My name is Emma.
00:02:51Emma Miller.
00:02:52That was fast.
00:02:54Uh, Eric.
00:02:57Eric Roberts.
00:02:58Hi.
00:02:58Eric, I heard you're in need of a bride, so here I am.
00:03:06Walk with me.
00:03:08I don't remember seeing you on my list of potential brides.
00:03:12Oh, uh, yeah, I was a late addition.
00:03:15You must have just not noticed me.
00:03:18I doubt that.
00:03:19It would be impossible not to notice you.
00:03:24Uh, listen, Mr. Roberts, I...
00:03:27Eric, please.
00:03:29Eric, um, I'm sort of trying to get revenge on my cheating ex-fiancé by marrying you,
00:03:36so you'd be doing me a favor with this wedding.
00:03:39That's good.
00:03:41Because you'd be doing me a favor as well.
00:03:43So, what do you say?
00:03:48Oh, how?
00:03:54Emma Miller, will you marry me
00:03:57out of the sheer convenience for us both?
00:04:03Okay, let's do this.
00:04:05Let's go.
00:04:05I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:04:12Are you going to kiss the bride?
00:04:14As their lips touched, Emma's mind went blank.
00:04:18She had never been kissed like this.
00:04:20For a moment, she forgot all about Nathan.
00:04:23Next.
00:04:23And the fact that Amber was now pregnant with his child.
00:04:28Oh my god, that was...
00:04:30Fun?
00:04:31Exhilarating?
00:04:32I was going to say crazy, but...
00:04:34God, yeah, it was exhilarating being married to a complete straight hurt.
00:04:38Um, about that.
00:04:39Now that we're married, I think there's maybe a few things you should know about me.
00:04:43Don't tell me you are a masked vigilante by night.
00:04:48Nothing that heroic, I'm afraid.
00:04:51I'm somewhat of a public figure.
00:04:54My family's company has generated a considerable amount of wealth.
00:04:59You say that like it's a bad thing.
00:05:02As a wise man once said,
00:05:04more money,
00:05:05more problems.
00:05:07Mr. Roberts, is it true that you tied the knot?
00:05:09Does this mean you're the CEO of Kaleidoscope Entertainment?
00:05:11Kaleidoscope, how rich are you?
00:05:22You know what?
00:05:23You should take that.
00:05:24When you're done,
00:05:27why don't you meet me at this hotel?
00:05:34Miss, over there.
00:05:35Uh, right here.
00:05:38What do you want?
00:05:39Don't hang up.
00:05:41Where have you been?
00:05:43I tried calling.
00:05:44Uh, I was busy.
00:05:45It is my wedding day.
00:05:47Listen, I need your help.
00:05:49Amber is too sick to model for the Bellarm show.
00:05:51I need you to step in for her.
00:05:53Oh, now you need me.
00:05:55Well, gee, I wouldn't want to take such a big opportunity away from precious Amber.
00:05:59Baby, I know I messed up.
00:06:02You have every right to be upset.
00:06:04Yeah, gee, you think?
00:06:05You're the only available model who could possibly get here in time.
00:06:10This show is for the Bellarm crown bracelet, the prize of the collection.
00:06:14This could make or break a career, understand?
00:06:16This is your time to shine, Emma.
00:06:18You're right.
00:06:20It is my time to shine.
00:06:21All right, I will be there as soon as I can.
00:06:26And when I get there, you and I are going to have a little chat.
00:06:36Where to Mr. Roberts?
00:06:37Back to the manor?
00:06:38Not yet.
00:06:40I want you to pull up everything you can find about my new wife.
00:06:45Emma Miller.
00:06:46Let's see where she's headed.
00:06:53Follow that car.
00:06:56As Emma arrived backstage at the Bellarm fashion show,
00:07:00she couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope until she saw Nathan.
00:07:04It took you so long.
00:07:05Are you kidding me?
00:07:06You just left me at the altar.
00:07:07You're a mess.
00:07:09You're not even wearing shoes.
00:07:09Can we get our camera ready, please?
00:07:11Do what you can.
00:07:12Nathan, go!
00:07:13Okay, here is the centerpiece of the crown.
00:07:24What's wrong?
00:07:25It's too big.
00:07:27It was fitted for him, but not you.
00:07:29My God, we're sc-
00:07:30We don't have time for you, sir.
00:07:32I will make it work.
00:07:36Here, put this on.
00:07:38What's this?
00:07:40What does it look like?
00:07:41It's a mask.
00:07:42Look at your face.
00:07:43Don't look at me like that.
00:07:45Bellarm insisted.
00:07:46They want to, by like a bracelet, maintain a certain mystique.
00:07:53Oh, I get it.
00:07:54It's like a mystery.
00:07:56Like when you don't know the sex of your unborn baby.
00:07:59Uh, maybe I don't know.
00:08:03Just put the mask on, all right?
00:08:05Sure, Nathan.
00:08:06Whatever Bellarm wants.
00:08:08Curtain in five.
00:08:09Bye.
00:08:09Thank you, five.
00:08:18Hey, girly.
00:08:19How's my favorite client?
00:08:21And yes, I tell all my clients they're my favorite.
00:08:24But with you, I mean it.
00:08:26I'm at the Bellarm fashion show.
00:08:28Uh, Nathan wants me to fill in for Amber.
00:08:29That's great.
00:08:30This could be your big break.
00:08:31Not great.
00:08:33Amber is pregnant with Nathan's child and is out with morning sickness.
00:08:37Oh my God.
00:08:38Oh my God!
00:08:40Yeah, I know.
00:08:41No.
00:08:45Also, uh, I got married this morning to someone that I just met.
00:08:51Girl, I have to ask.
00:08:53Are you having a psychotic episode or something?
00:08:56Maybe.
00:08:57Okay, listen.
00:08:58Nathan wants me to wear this ridiculous mask.
00:09:02He says that the client wants it, but I know it's because he just doesn't want me in the spotlight.
00:09:06Dad.
00:09:07As your friend and manager, I won't let him get away with it.
00:09:10Don't worry.
00:09:12I have a plan.
00:09:14But I'm going to need your help.
00:09:16Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this year's annual Bellarm Jewelry Show.
00:09:31Finally, it was Emma's moment to shine.
00:09:35Julius, Bellarm's founder himself.
00:09:37I hope everything's to your liking, sir.
00:09:40Nathan, why is Amber wearing that god-awful mask?
00:09:43Oh, you thought it would add, like, this nice...
00:09:47Oh, see, I don't pay you to think.
00:09:49This better go good, Nathan, or your head is going to roll.
00:09:53Bellarm is thrilled to present the star of our spring collection, the crown bracelet.
00:10:00Sorry, folks.
00:10:02I'm not sure what's going on.
00:10:03Our model Amber was supposed to be wearing the...
00:10:06Nathan, where is my bracelet?
00:10:10This stunning piece was designed by our founder, Julius Durand.
00:10:19Her beloved daughter, and worn in an unconventional, yet memorable style.
00:10:25But then, something caught Emma's eye.
00:10:27A face in the crowd.
00:10:29But not just any face.
00:10:31Then, disaster struck.
00:10:52I knew it.
00:10:54You're an imposter.
00:10:55Somebody get this imposter off my stage.
00:10:56She broke the crown bracelet.
00:10:58I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
00:11:00It was an accident.
00:11:00Who the hell do you think you are?
00:11:06That's Emma Miller.
00:11:07She used to be a hot model until her career tanked a few years back.
00:11:10Let me rephrase.
00:11:11What is she doing on my stage?
00:11:13Where is the girl that I hired?
00:11:15Amber fell ill at the last minute.
00:11:18Emma must have snuck in wearing the mask.
00:11:20Why, I wouldn't be surprised if she poisoned Amber to steal the spotlight.
00:11:24Oh, you begged me to take over, you lying...
00:11:27I'm not!
00:11:28I should have you arrested.
00:11:31You are ruined.
00:11:33Your career is over.
00:11:35Well, the career that's ending today is yours, Julius.
00:11:41Unless you change your tone, I'm back away from Miss Miller.
00:11:45Now.
00:11:47Eric.
00:11:48Mr. Roberts.
00:11:49My apologies, sir.
00:11:51Clearly, your manners are as polished as your tacky jewelry.
00:11:57If you would be so kind as to help me...
00:11:58I'm sorry, Eric, was it?
00:12:02You can call me Mr. Roberts.
00:12:05Kaleidoscope Entertainment.
00:12:05CEO.
00:12:08Show some respect, nitwit.
00:12:11This is Kaleidoscope.
00:12:13They could buy Global 20 times over.
00:12:20Miss Miller.
00:12:21He's so kind as to join.
00:12:25Wait a minute.
00:12:27Hey, baby!
00:12:27Emma!
00:12:28Hey, do you know this guy?
00:12:32What?
00:12:33Are you jealous?
00:12:36I've long been a fan of Miss Miller's career.
00:12:39I'd like to see her succeed.
00:12:41Unlike some people.
00:12:44Let's go.
00:12:44Let's go.
00:12:45You will be hearing from my lawyers.
00:13:05You just swooped in there and snapped your fingers.
00:13:09Hey, what are husbands for?
00:13:11Oh, my God.
00:13:13You're my husband.
00:13:13And I'm your wife.
00:13:17I'm...
00:13:17I ruined the fashion show.
00:13:20The media's gonna have a field day.
00:13:22Nathan is gonna destroy me.
00:13:23They will do nothing of the sort.
00:13:26I meant what I said in there.
00:13:29I really want to see your career flourish.
00:13:32Are you real?
00:13:34Were you made in some kind of, like, perfect man lab?
00:13:38Trust me.
00:13:39I'm far from perfect.
00:13:42We all have our secrets.
00:13:43Oh.
00:13:46It was alright.
00:13:48Emma suddenly realized that her fairytale wedding might be over unless she acted.
00:13:54Eric, there's something that you should know about me.
00:13:58Emma Miller.
00:14:00Grew up in Ohio.
00:14:02Promising modeling career until two years ago when your idiot fiance made a bad business decision.
00:14:08Bachelor's degree.
00:14:09And it's a charity.
00:14:11Even though you're broke.
00:14:12And you have a cat named Daisy.
00:14:16Okay, how did you know?
00:14:17I had my assistant run a thorough background check on you.
00:14:21You were not one of the women from the pre-approved list.
00:14:24I'm sorry.
00:14:25You were just, you were there and you needed a wife and I was devastated.
00:14:28Emma, it's okay.
00:14:30I knew right away.
00:14:33And I'm glad.
00:14:34You are?
00:14:35I could never end up with somebody that my father approves of.
00:14:40Some stuffy aristocrat with no personality, poor manners, and even worse breath.
00:14:46But Emma, you are a gift.
00:14:55Sorry, it's my manager.
00:14:58It's fine.
00:15:00You can take it.
00:15:04How bad is it?
00:15:06This just in, Belle Am's show spiraled out of control when former model Emma Miller went full stolen identity
00:15:21and replaced Amber Lee, Global Entertainment's top model.
00:15:28Although, she did end up breaking a priceless bracelet.
00:15:33Whoops.
00:15:33She also absolutely served.
00:15:38She is in her queen era and we are here for it.
00:15:44Are you seeing this?
00:15:46Not now, babe.
00:15:46I need to think.
00:15:48Emma is blowing up.
00:15:50The media is taking her side.
00:15:52That was supposed to be my moment.
00:15:54Uh-huh.
00:15:54This is humiliating me.
00:15:57Us.
00:15:58She probably broke that bracelet on purpose.
00:16:01We can't let her get away with this.
00:16:03What do you want me to do?
00:16:05That night, Eric brought Emma to the honeymoon suite of the most lavish hotel in the city.
00:16:11This room is incredible.
00:16:13It's bigger than my last apartment.
00:16:15Well, I hope you don't mind the honeymoon suite.
00:16:18My father has people watching my every move, so I need to make the marriage look legit.
00:16:23So you can be the CEO of Kaleidoscope?
00:16:25That's right.
00:16:26It is all my father talks about.
00:16:31You know, frankly, I don't have any interest in the family business.
00:16:36Okay, well, I say if you don't love it, then don't do it.
00:16:39Is that right?
00:16:40Weren't you the one that was about to marry their cheating fiancé before I showed up?
00:16:48I'm sorry, that came out wrong.
00:16:50No, you're right.
00:16:52I love Nathan despite the way you treated me, and in return, he...
00:16:58Oh my god, I'm such an idiot.
00:16:59No, no, no, no.
00:17:00You...
00:17:01You are not an idiot.
00:17:04You're incredible.
00:17:06You're gorgeous.
00:17:08Brave.
00:17:09Maybe a little impulsive.
00:17:10He is a fool for letting you go.
00:17:16I would never let something like that happen.
00:17:29Uh...
00:17:29I'm gonna go take a shower.
00:17:32A very cold shower.
00:17:40Wait, uh...
00:17:42Just wait a second.
00:17:44What?
00:17:44What's wrong?
00:17:45Are you okay?
00:17:46No, this is great.
00:17:47I mean, this is crazy hot, and you're perfect.
00:17:50It's just...
00:17:52It's okay, you can tell me.
00:17:54Is it my breath?
00:17:55No.
00:17:56Um...
00:17:56I'm...
00:17:58I've never...
00:18:02This would be your first time.
00:18:06Oh.
00:18:07Wow.
00:18:08You're a famous model.
00:18:10You have a fiancé.
00:18:11I just assumed that...
00:18:12Well, Nathan's the only man I've ever been in a serious relationship with.
00:18:16And he was the one who said that he always wanted to wait until marriage,
00:18:19and I always thought it was a religious thing, but...
00:18:22Turns out he wasn't waiting.
00:18:24He just didn't want to be with me.
00:18:27That guy is an idiot.
00:18:31And you have nothing that you need to worry about.
00:18:34Yeah, I want to.
00:18:35I mean, believe me, I do.
00:18:36It's just that all this is happening so fast.
00:18:39I mean, God, I don't even know your middle name.
00:18:42It's okay.
00:18:44I am in no rush.
00:18:47We have all the time in the world.
00:18:54It's Tucker.
00:18:55By the way.
00:18:57Hmm.
00:18:58Eric Tucker Roberts.
00:18:59I know.
00:19:01I know.
00:19:02It's a family name.
00:19:04Emma and Eric spent the whole night talking, kissing, and getting closer.
00:19:09The whole thing felt like a dream.
00:19:11Eric?
00:19:12Eric?
00:19:26Eric?
00:19:27Sorry, I didn't want to wake you, but I thought that you might be hungry.
00:19:43Oh, I have your espresso.
00:19:45It's Nathan.
00:19:55Surprised it took him this long.
00:19:58Should I answer?
00:19:59I've got a few words for that guy.
00:20:01Okay, thanks, but I can't have you fighting all my battles for me.
00:20:06Suit yourself.
00:20:09What do you want?
00:20:10Emma!
00:20:11So good to hear your voice, babe.
00:20:13Wish I could say the same.
00:20:14Where the hell are you?
00:20:16You disappeared after the whole Bellarm fiasco.
00:20:18You mean after you threw me under the bus and tried to ruin my career?
00:20:24Listen, babe.
00:20:27I swear.
00:20:29I know that now.
00:20:31Everything's a mess.
00:20:33I'm sorry.
00:20:35I just want a chance to make things right.
00:20:37Please, Emma.
00:20:38I have to see you.
00:20:40You're still my fiancé after all.
00:20:42Yeah, about that.
00:20:44What's that supposed to mean?
00:20:45It means that we should discuss some things.
00:20:51I mean, okay.
00:20:53Let's meet up and talk.
00:20:55We go out to a nice dinner.
00:20:57Just like old times.
00:20:58What do you say?
00:20:58Fine, I'll see you tonight.
00:21:06Thank you for coming.
00:21:10I hope you're hungry.
00:21:11Chef, he's been cooking up a storm.
00:21:14You hired a private chef?
00:21:15Best in the city.
00:21:16He comes highly recommended.
00:21:17Only the best for you, my love.
00:21:20Wow.
00:21:20I'm happy the chef prepare your favorite.
00:21:25Don't you worry.
00:21:27May I?
00:21:29So, where's Amber?
00:21:30I thought she'd be staying here.
00:21:32They are keeping her overnight in the hospital for observation.
00:21:35Really?
00:21:37Gosh, I hope she pulls through.
00:21:39What's her diagnosis?
00:21:40I think she has a growth of some kind.
00:21:42Yeah, definitely some kind of growth.
00:21:45You know, I have a feeling that she'll get better in nine months.
00:21:49Listen, babe.
00:21:55Sorry I pushed the wedding.
00:21:58I got so caught up in work, I lost sight of what's important.
00:22:02Really?
00:22:04Amber got in my head, but you're my priority.
00:22:07Your steak, sir.
00:22:12Steak?
00:22:12Sure.
00:22:13Your favorite.
00:22:14Five years, Nathan.
00:22:16We were together for five years.
00:22:19And?
00:22:20I'm a vegetarian.
00:22:22Are you sure?
00:22:24And for the lovely lady, spaghetti pomodoro.
00:22:28That's not right.
00:22:29You ordered a steak.
00:22:31No, this is my favorite meal.
00:22:33How did you know?
00:22:34Courtesy of Mr. Roberts.
00:22:37He'd like to pay for tonight's dinner and sends his congratulations on your wedding.
00:22:42I guess this is the least he could do.
00:22:44I'll lose a little early.
00:22:46I'm not even married yet.
00:22:48He's talking about our wedding.
00:22:49Hmm?
00:22:50It was a mistake coming here.
00:22:53Emma, wait, wait.
00:22:57My life is a wreck.
00:22:58Global entertainment is going up in flames.
00:23:00How is that my problem?
00:23:02You dug your own grave.
00:23:03Please?
00:23:05I need you to put out a statement saying the whole go-on thing was your idea.
00:23:08That you broke the bracelet to get attention.
00:23:11Absolutely not.
00:23:12God, I am so sick of taking the blame for your mistakes.
00:23:16You have manipulated me enough.
00:23:18Goodbye, Nathan.
00:23:19Blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:23:22I don't want to hear that.
00:23:23No.
00:23:24Hmm.
00:23:25Uh, I'm going to have to call you back.
00:23:30Here.
00:23:31Oh, God.
00:23:36What is that?
00:23:37Irish coffee.
00:23:38Without the coffee.
00:23:40What happened?
00:23:42Nathan.
00:23:43Just when I thought that he couldn't sink any lower.
00:23:46I never liked that guy.
00:23:48So what's the plan?
00:23:49Well, Nathan wants me to put out a statement about what really happened at the Bell Am show,
00:23:54so that's exactly what we're going to do.
00:23:58Stop the presses.
00:24:00We have just received a jaw-dropping statement from Emma Miller's manager
00:24:05claiming that global entertainment forced Emma to stand in for Amber Lee on numerous occasions.
00:24:14Then digitally editing the pictures to make it look like Amber did all.
00:24:19Hey, Emma.
00:24:21Boom.
00:24:24Useless.
00:24:27I, uh, I've had it.
00:24:29Nathan.
00:24:31What else do you, I just, I tried to convince Emma, but I can't control her.
00:24:35What else do you want from me?
00:24:40Nothing.
00:24:42I'm tired of watching you fail.
00:24:46It's my turn now.
00:24:48That night, when Emma returned to the honeymoon suite, she was stunned to find a gorgeous array
00:24:57of flowers from Eric.
00:24:59But little did Emma know, her luck was about to run out.
00:25:03Hello, Emma.
00:25:03Oh, God.
00:25:04Amber, how did you get in here?
00:25:05Oh, this little game has gone on far too long.
00:25:16I'm here to discuss the details of your unconditional surrender.
00:25:20I already told Nathan, I'm not going to take the blame for the mess that you two caused.
00:25:24Yes, you are.
00:25:26You will go on live television to admit that you lied about everything.
00:25:32That you took my place and broke that bracelet on purpose.
00:25:36All in a desperate attempt to kickstart your failing career.
00:25:43And if I refuse?
00:25:44Global Enterprise will sue you and your little manager for breach of contract.
00:25:52But you can't do that.
00:25:54Lisa didn't even do anything wrong.
00:25:56She didn't?
00:25:58Because you both worked for Global and you leaked confidential information.
00:26:04And if that doesn't work, then we'll go for slander.
00:26:08Point being, I'll win.
00:26:12Why?
00:26:13Why are you doing this to me?
00:26:15Isn't it enough that you took my fiancé?
00:26:18Hmm.
00:26:19I guess I just like to take out the trash.
00:26:22You're sick.
00:26:23You know, you two really deserve each other.
00:26:27Oh, you're just upset that you can't keep a man happy.
00:26:32You're pathetic.
00:26:34That's why Nathan chose me to carry each child.
00:26:38And Eric will get bored of you within a few days.
00:26:42And kick you to the curb, too.
00:26:43Like garbage.
00:26:45Well, this was fun.
00:26:46I will see you at the press conference.
00:26:49That night, Emma went to her friend Lisa for comfort.
00:26:53Too embarrassed and heartbroken to see Eric.
00:26:55You know I'll stand by you no matter what.
00:27:01You don't have to do this.
00:27:03Yes, I do.
00:27:04I can't have them ruin your career, too.
00:27:11Eric again?
00:27:12I almost didn't know where I went.
00:27:16Why don't you just talk to him?
00:27:18I'm sure he could help.
00:27:20I can't.
00:27:21I can't let him see me like this.
00:27:24I was bright and pathetic.
00:27:26And I can't keep expecting him to fight all my battles for him.
00:27:31You know what?
00:27:33You look a mess.
00:27:34Why don't you go get cleaned up and I will make you drink.
00:27:37Hey, listen.
00:27:47We don't know each other, but we both care about Emma.
00:27:50And, well...
00:27:52She needs you.
00:27:56I didn't have money for this being here.
00:27:57I know.
00:27:58She's the show.
00:27:59You showed up.
00:28:00Ha!
00:28:01Oh, how the mighty tables have crumbled.
00:28:03What does that even mean?
00:28:05It means you were...
00:28:07No, I'm the one.
00:28:09Don't hurt yourself, darling.
00:28:13Well, go ahead.
00:28:15Gloat.
00:28:16You know I would, but I'm feeling a little tired.
00:28:20Being pregnant can be such hard work.
00:28:24Not that you would know.
00:28:26Okay, so how are we going to do this?
00:28:30I'm going to need you to stick to the script.
00:28:33Word for word.
00:28:34Fine.
00:28:38Whatever.
00:28:39Let's do this.
00:28:40Right this way, sweetie.
00:28:42Emma bravely took the stage, ready to lie and publicly admit wrongdoing in order to save her friend, Lisa.
00:28:50Hello.
00:28:50Hello.
00:28:51My name is Emma Miller.
00:28:53I'm here to admit that I...
00:28:55Stop.
00:28:57Emma's heart skipped a beat when she saw her husband, Eric, in the crowd.
00:29:08You don't need to do this, Emma.
00:29:10Yes, you do.
00:29:11It means the world to me that you're here, Eric, but this is my battle.
00:29:21Chris.
00:29:22I take full responsibility for the Bellown fiasco.
00:29:32It was my idea and mine alone to impersonate Amber and steal the spotlight.
00:29:38I'm truly sorry.
00:29:42Just to be clear, none of this was my, uh, global entertainment's fault.
00:29:48It was all Emma.
00:29:51Well, now I'll take any questions.
00:29:52Oh, right here.
00:29:54Miss Miller, Miss Miller.
00:29:54Right here.
00:29:55Miss Miller, right here.
00:29:56Uh, how about, uh, how about you?
00:29:58Is it true that you and billionaire playboy Eric Roberts are an item?
00:30:03Next question.
00:30:04Is it?
00:30:04Stop.
00:30:05Stop.
00:30:05Next question.
00:30:06Stop.
00:30:07Stop.
00:30:07Does anyone have a good question?
00:30:09Yeah.
00:30:09Yeah.
00:30:09Right.
00:30:10Right.
00:30:10Right.
00:30:13I'm getting reports that you and Mr. Roberts have been pulled up in a honeymoon suite for
00:30:20days.
00:30:21Now, now, this is all in response to your fiance Nathan's infidelity.
00:30:26Care to comment?
00:30:28I, um, no.
00:30:30Okay, no, no, no, no.
00:30:32Stop it.
00:30:34Stop asking questions about Emma's love life.
00:30:37She sabotaged me, you idiots.
00:30:40How are you not seeing this?
00:30:43She's the villain.
00:30:45This, this is about me, okay?
00:30:47I am the star and I am-
00:30:49Oh, watch out!
00:30:52What will happen to Amber and her unborn child?
00:30:55Will Emma come out on top or will Nathan continue to torture her?
00:30:59Can Emma and Eric find happiness?
00:31:04Emma entered the hospital, escorted only by Nathan's assistant.
00:31:08She would have to face Amber without the support of her own team.
00:31:12Gary, Amber's assistant, was guarding the door.
00:31:15So you're here to apologize, he said, looking her up and down with a sneer.
00:31:21You'll just have to wait.
00:31:22Amber's resting.
00:31:24Emma looked Gary straight in the eyes.
00:31:26With a deceptively calm voice, she said,
00:31:29How dare you talk to me like that?
00:31:32Before he could respond, Amber called out from the room.
00:31:36Is that Emma?
00:31:37Come in, Emma!
00:31:39Amber was annoyed with Gary.
00:31:41Right now was not the time to be rude to her.
00:31:43And she still had the power of her family behind her,
00:31:46even if they no longer paid as much attention to her as they had when she was famous.
00:31:50Emma held her head high and walked into the room, not sparing another glance for Gary.
00:31:57Amber, how are you?
00:31:59Nathan told me we're going to film a live broadcast.
00:32:02Isn't that exciting, Emma?
00:32:03I'm so happy to help you show the world how sorry you are.
00:32:07Emma hesitated for a moment.
00:32:09She honestly couldn't believe how shameless Amber was.
00:32:13She was almost as bad as Nathan.
00:32:15They all knew he had asked Emma to fill in at the Bellamy show.
00:32:19But they were all still trying to pretend that it had been Emma's idea.
00:32:24We already prepared this scene, Gary said.
00:32:27In just a moment, the doctor will come in to change Amber's bandages.
00:32:31You'll have the opportunity to show how sorry you are by helping Amber wash her feet.
00:32:36That's enough, Emma snapped.
00:32:38We all know what really happened.
00:32:40Don't you think it's time we stop pretending you're innocent?
00:32:44Emma, what are you talking about?
00:32:46I don't understand, said Amber, opening her eyes wide.
00:32:51I can't believe my ears.
00:32:53If it wasn't for Nathan, I wouldn't put up with this.
00:32:57You know all this is your doing.
00:33:00Emma, it's bad enough you won't apologize to me.
00:33:03Do you have to be mean to me when I've done nothing wrong?
00:33:07Amber really was a good actor, even managing to look hurt as she maintained her innocence.
00:33:13Apologize to you?
00:33:15I'm never going to apologize to you.
00:33:18I have nothing to apologize for, Emma said.
00:33:22Unfortunately, she didn't realize that Gary was recording the whole scene.
00:33:26He immediately posted the video online with an attention-grabbing tagline.
00:33:31Attention-seeking disgraced model declares, I'm never going to apologize to you.
00:33:36In an instant, the wave of hate rose again, ready to come crashing down on Emma.
00:33:43Gary kept recording as Emma left the room.
00:33:46This time, Emma really has gone too far.
00:33:50Amber summoned up tears for the camera.
00:33:52Not only did she refuse to apologize, she even had the nerve to say it was all my fault.
00:33:59And that was when the war between the models really sparked off.
00:34:04Global quickly released a statement, apologizing to the public and implying that they intended to release Emma from their contract with her.
00:34:12No one would have believed that Emma's career could possibly recover from that last devastating blow.
00:34:19But, just as it seemed that things could never get better, a collection of photos surfaced online, with a caption,
00:34:28No apology necessary.
00:34:30Emma was wronged.
00:34:31The photos showed Amber and Nathan embracing and kissing passionately in Amber's hospital bed, with Amber wearing a skimpy hospital gown.
00:34:39The text posted with the photos exposed the whole story of Amber and Nathan cheating on Emma for months and manipulating her into filling in for Amber.
00:34:50And just like that, the truth was out.
00:34:54Amber and Nathan's intimate photos spread everywhere, along with the truth that Emma had acted honorably all along.
00:35:02Public opinion swung back 180 again.
00:35:05Emma, who had given up her career for love, had never once tried to make excuses for herself.
00:35:12She was so noble that she'd even taken full responsibility for the Bellamy incident.
00:35:18The tables had turned once again, but Amber did not know it yet.
00:35:23She was in her hospital room, in the middle of yet another interview.
00:35:27Just as she was saying how she actually felt sorry for Emma, the reporter's phone dinged.
00:35:32Miss Lee, she said, how do you explain these photos?
00:35:37Amber's face turned pale.
00:35:40What are those?
00:35:41She asked.
00:35:42These appear to be intimate photos of you and Nathan Davis.
00:35:45Do you want me to go into more detail about what you're doing in the photos?
00:35:49Amber froze.
00:35:51A moment ago, she had everyone's sympathy.
00:35:54Now, everyone knew she had seduced someone else's fiancé.
00:35:58Her mind went blank.
00:36:00How could you possibly get out of this situation?
00:36:03No, it's all fake.
00:36:05This must be part of Emma's plan.
00:36:07Don't film me anymore.
00:36:08Just get out.
00:36:09Go!
00:36:10Miss Lee, the reporter said.
00:36:13Just when I thought I'd seen everything in the entertainment industry, you've still managed to shock me.
00:36:19I'm gonna tell you this.
00:36:20There is still some justice in the world.
00:36:22I'm never going to write another negative word about Emma Miller.
00:36:26Amber began trembling.
00:36:27As soon as the reporters left, she called Nathan.
00:36:31Nathan, have you seen the photos?
00:36:33What should we do?
00:36:34It's just some photos.
00:36:36Don't panic.
00:36:37I'm working on a solution.
00:36:38He responded calmly.
00:36:40But inside, he wasn't calm at all.
00:36:43Not only was Amber's future at risk, the whole of Global was in trouble as well.
00:36:48And perhaps worst of all, he realized, he could lose Emma forever.
00:36:54Emma must be behind all this, Amber said shrilly.
00:36:58Well, maybe if you'd been nicer to her, this wouldn't have happened.
00:37:02Nathan answered angrily and hung up.
00:37:04He tried to call Emma right away, but her phone kept ringing out to voicemail.
00:37:09Emma was holding her phone and watching it ring.
00:37:12She was imagining how anxious Nathan must be, and she decided to let him stew a little longer.
00:37:18Emma, I'm outside the back entrance.
00:37:21She hadn't let Eric's call go to voicemail.
00:37:24The second she heard his deep voice, all her uneasiness fled.
00:37:30As she got in the car, her phone continued to ring and ring, but she ignored it and threw it into the back seat.
00:37:36You're not going to pick up? Eric asked, turning his handsome face to her.
00:37:41You already know the answer, Emma smirked.
00:37:44She planned to make Nathan look for her all night long.
00:37:49Eric stopped talking and focused on the road.
00:37:52Meanwhile, Emma focused on the birthmark on his earlobe.
00:37:56It made him look like he was born with an earring, giving him a slightly evil and dangerous aura.
00:38:02Why are you looking at me like that? He asked.
00:38:05Is there dirt on my face?
00:38:07Emma reached out for Eric's arm.
00:38:09Before we go to our new home, could you come with me somewhere?
00:38:13Of course, but after that, are you interested in finishing what we started last night?
00:38:19Eric's tone was casual, but Emma couldn't hide her nervousness.
00:38:23She wasn't sure she felt as confident as she had the previous night.
00:38:28Eric didn't pressure her, though.
00:38:29He just continued to drive and enjoy the touch of her hand on his arm.
00:38:34At Emma's request, they headed to a park known for its beautiful cherry blossom trees and wonderful restaurant.
00:38:41Emma and Nathan had met at the park frequently, or at least had often made plans to meet there.
00:38:47Finally answering Nathan's call, she said,
00:38:49I'm heading to the cherry blossom park.
00:38:52Meet me under our favorite tree as soon as you can.
00:38:55I'm on my way, Nathan said immediately.
00:38:58Even though he was having an affair with Amber, he had never intended to stop seeing Emma.
00:39:03Emma, where would he find another woman who was so easy to manipulate?
00:39:08He appreciated her loyalty, her family background, and her easygoing nature.
00:39:13He would be foolish to let her go.
00:39:16Emma hung up and looked at Eric.
00:39:18I have no love left for Nathan, she said.
00:39:21Without a word, he patted the seat beside him, gesturing for Emma to sit.
00:39:26The two of them looked out the window at the scenery below.
00:39:29Not long after, an anxious figure appeared beneath her favorite cherry blossom tree.
00:39:35Nathan had arrived.
00:39:37She had stood under that tree so many times, naively waiting all day for him to show up.
00:39:43Most of the time, she had waited in vain.
00:39:46She couldn't believe how badly she let him treat her.
00:39:50He had stood her up, toyed with her, and then betrayed her.
00:39:54But now, it was his turn to suffer.
00:39:57Will this make you feel better?
00:39:59Eric asked as the two of them continued to look at the sad figure below.
00:40:04It's a start.
00:40:06I want him to experience everything he made me go through, the big things and the small ones.
00:40:12With long, powerful fingers, Eric reached for Emma's chin.
00:40:16Turning her face to his, he saw a woman who was delicate on the outside, but had an inner core of steel.
00:40:24I ordered foie gras, she said.
00:40:26The waiter said it was quite good.
00:40:28Eric released her from his grasp and let out a surprise smile.
00:40:32How did you know that I liked that?
00:40:34I have my ways, she said.
00:40:37Emma gestured for the waiter to start serving.
00:40:40Let's eat while we chat.
00:40:42Nathan remained standing along under the tree while Emma and Eric enjoyed their meal and their glances.
00:40:47She might look unassuming, but she isn't weak, he thought.
00:40:53Time passed quickly for the couple as Nathan continued to wait outside.
00:40:57He kept calling Emma, but she had turned her phone off.
00:41:01Finally, the two finished their meal.
00:41:03Eric took a last glance down at Nathan and asked,
00:41:07Do you want to continue watching him wait?
00:41:10No.
00:41:10I want you to help me move into your house.
00:41:13Eric paid the bill, escorted Emma out through the side door, and drove her to her home.
00:41:19She'd asked for five minutes alone in the house to remove all traces of her relationship with Nathan.
00:41:25To be honest, there wasn't much.
00:41:28Nathan had never left any of his belongings there.
00:41:31While she packed, Eric looked around.
00:41:33He found a huge photo in the living room of Emma receiving a modeling trophy.
00:41:37If she hadn't retreated from the industry, he thought, she would have been an international superstar by now.
00:41:45A few minutes later, she emerged from her bedroom with a teddy bear and a small bag.
00:41:50I'm ready.
00:41:51You don't want anything else?
00:41:53No, let's leave the memories behind.
00:41:56Eric took the bag and the teddy bear and placed them on the sofa.
00:41:59He said,
00:42:00Let's leave the rest for when we get home.
00:42:03But for now, has my kiss helped you to make some better final memories here?
00:42:08Back at the park, Nathan waited for four hours.
00:42:13He had planned to stay all night if that's what it took.
00:42:16But then Amber called.
00:42:18Nathan, where are you?
00:42:19I'm waiting outside your house.
00:42:21I need you.
00:42:22Why are those photos of us still all over the web?
00:42:24I'm going to be destroyed.
00:42:27Nathan rushed home.
00:42:28Seeing Amber standing pitifully on one foot outside his door,
00:42:32he couldn't help but run to her.
00:42:34I won't let you be destroyed.
00:42:36And I won't let Global be destroyed.
00:42:39Nathan, you're all I have.
00:42:41Don't leave me and the baby.
00:42:43Nathan tried his best to comfort and reassure her.
00:42:47That night, he ordered his staff to release a statement
00:42:50saying that the pictures of the two of them
00:42:52that had been posted earlier in the day were misleading.
00:42:55The truth, so the statement said,
00:42:58was that Amber had been standing on one foot due to her injury
00:43:01and had lost her balance.
00:43:03She had fallen into Nathan's arms
00:43:05and they had landed on the bed together.
00:43:08After Global's PR team released their statement,
00:43:11Nathan paid a few social influencers
00:43:13to post glowing reviews of his company and of Amber.
00:43:18Over the next three days,
00:43:20he contacted everyone he could think of
00:43:22to clean up Amber's image
00:43:23and to cast blame on Emma.
00:43:26He could only hope that the public
00:43:28would soon forget his latest scandal
00:43:30and Amber would be able to return to work.
00:43:33His goal was to position Amber to win the Top 10 Model Award
00:43:37and then announce she would be leaving the country to study.
00:43:41She could have her child away
00:43:42from the prying eyes of the public.
00:43:44Nathan really was infatuated with Amber,
00:43:48so he was willing to go to great lengths
00:43:50to make this plan work.
00:43:51And once she was acknowledged as a top model,
00:43:54she would be very profitable for global entertainment.
00:43:58Emma's manager read through the latest global press release
00:44:01with a shake of her head.
00:44:03She'd come over to Emma's apartment
00:44:04to plan their next move,
00:44:06but was surprised to find that Emma wasn't home.
00:44:10Feeling confused, she called Emma.
00:44:13Where are you?
00:44:14Emma had just started filling the tub at Eric's house.
00:44:17She laughed and said,
00:44:19I haven't had the chance to tell you.
00:44:21I moved.
00:44:23Where did you move to?
00:44:24Does Nathan know?
00:44:26Emma turned around and looked at Eric,
00:44:28who had just entered the bathroom.
00:44:30Not realizing she was on the phone,
00:44:32he said in that deep voice of his,
00:44:34Is it bath time yet?
00:44:36On the other side of the line,
00:44:38Lisa heard the voice and asked in disbelief,
00:44:41Who are you with?
00:44:42Are you safe?
00:44:43Is someone taking advantage of your situation?
00:44:45Beginning to sound frantic, she said,
00:44:49You don't need to rely on some strange man to take care of you.
00:44:52Tell me where you are and I'll come get you right now.
00:44:55Emma didn't know what to say.
00:44:57She put her phone on mute and said,
00:44:59My manager seems to think I need help.
00:45:01I'd like to talk with her in person and explain what's going on.
00:45:05Do you trust her completely?
00:45:08Eric had already found out quite a lot about Lisa.
00:45:11He knew that she was passionate and loyal,
00:45:13but scatterbrained at times.
00:45:16Of course.
00:45:17Then let me send someone to pick her up and bring her here.
00:45:21Emma thought about it carefully,
00:45:22and then told Lisa she would send a car for her.
00:45:25Lisa paced back and forth while she waited.
00:45:28What on earth was going on?
00:45:30Had Emma willingly gone off with some other man?
00:45:34Was it someone in the entertainment industry?
00:45:36Didn't she know how dangerous that was?
00:45:38They all wanted the same thing.
00:45:41One night of fun to be forgotten about the next day.
00:45:45Lisa was fuming by the time Luke, Eric's assistant, arrived.
00:45:50Please get in the car.
00:45:51I'm here to take you to see Emma.
00:45:53If anything has happened to Emma,
00:45:54I will do some serious physical harm to you and your boss, she threatened.
00:45:59Let's not talk about who's going to hurt who.
00:46:01Just get in the car.
00:46:04Lisa glared at Luke as she got in the car and kept glaring throughout the ride,
00:46:09keeping up a steady stream of threats about what would happen if even one hair on Emma's head had been harmed.
00:46:15But as the car approached one of the most expensive streets in Tribeca,
00:46:21Lisa grew silent in shock.
00:46:24Just who the hell is your boss?
00:46:26She said weakly.
00:46:27You'll find out once you get inside, he replied in an annoyed tone.
00:46:32He could have a bit of a temper too.
00:46:34Lisa started to worry.
00:46:36She'd have to be very careful.
00:46:38Whoever lived there probably had a lot of power to go along with their money.
00:46:42Luke escorted Lisa out of the car and led her into the building.
00:46:46She remained quiet as the elevator opened up to a palatial living room,
00:46:51where Emma was waiting on the sofa.
00:46:53Even without any makeup, she was stunning,
00:46:56as was the view of Manhattan out the window behind her.
00:47:00Emma, what's going on?
00:47:02You don't really live here, do you?
00:47:04Lisa, there's something I need to tell you,
00:47:06but I don't want you to be upset.
00:47:09Emma motioned Lisa to sit on the sofa next to her.
00:47:11Tell me, do you have a new boyfriend?
00:47:15No, Emma shook her head, holding back a smile.
00:47:18I'm married.
00:47:20After a long pause, Lisa burst out.
00:47:23What did you say?
00:47:24You're married?
00:47:25Who are you married to?
00:47:27What are you talking about?
00:47:29Interrupting her barrage of questions,
00:47:31Eric came into the room.
00:47:33Hello, Lisa, he said.
00:47:35To her surprise, he walked over to Emma,
00:47:38leaned over affectionately,
00:47:39and whispered gently into her ear.
00:47:42I know, she responded.
00:47:43I'll only be about a half an hour.
00:47:45See you later, Lisa, he said,
00:47:47and headed back out of the room.
00:47:49Lisa froze in disbelief.
00:47:51Emma, pinch me.
00:47:53I want to know if I'm dreaming.
00:47:54Are you married to Eric Roberts,
00:47:57the CEO of Kaleidoscope?
00:47:59Um, yeah.
00:48:00For real?
00:48:02Yes, you're not hallucinating.
00:48:04It's really him.
00:48:05My new husband, Emma said.
00:48:08Lisa's mood changed from distress to excitement.
00:48:11Emma, this is such a great surprise.
00:48:14I can't believe it.
00:48:15I'm cured.
00:48:16You're cured?
00:48:17Yes, I'm cured of my hatred for your mystery, man.
00:48:20You totally made the right decision.
00:48:23If you're going to get married to someone,
00:48:24it shouldn't be to that piece of trash Nathan.
00:48:27Ooh, when he finds out?
00:48:29God, that'll be so satisfying.
00:48:33I'm not planning to announce my relationship with Eric just yet,
00:48:37Emma explained calmly and confidently.
00:48:40With his help, I know my career could advance by leaps and bounds.
00:48:44But I don't want anyone to say that my success is due to being his wife.
00:48:49Three years ago, I became a top model in New York through my own hard work.
00:48:53I'm confident I can do it again.
00:48:55If you're still willing to help me, then let's do this together.
00:49:00But if you want to move on, I won't pressure you.
00:49:02I'll even help you find another position at a better company.
00:49:06Of course, I'll stand by your side.
00:49:08I want to become the manager of the next international supermodel,
00:49:12Lisa replied enthusiastically.
00:49:14But are you planning to stay at Global Entertainment?
00:49:18What do you think?
00:49:20Emma gave Lisa a look, letting her figure out the answer herself.
00:49:24Nathan has used me over and over, and I plan to make him pay.
00:49:29Lisa burst out laughing as she leaned into Emma.
00:49:33Emma, I never knew you could be so sneaky.
00:49:36So what's the next move?
00:49:38Should we release the video?
00:49:39No, let's secure the spokesperson deal first.
00:49:43To be precise, let's take what should have been mine right out of Amber's hands.
00:49:48Afterwards, when Amber's fans are complaining, then we'll release the video.
00:49:51In the meantime, can you help edit the clips from the Bellamy show and post them online?
00:49:58Of course, leave it to me.
00:50:00Lisa was impressed with the changes she was seeing in Emma.
00:50:03Who knew she could be this powerful?
00:50:06The next morning, the war between the two models was already old news,
00:50:10and the rumors about Nathan and Amber had been buried under Global's newest press releases.
00:50:15Interestingly, Emma's straightforward response to the media had an unexpected benefit.
00:50:22She gained a huge number of new fans, who were now searching online for her old appearances and photos.
00:50:29Amber and Nathan had failed to notice that Emma's popularity was on the rise.
00:50:34Her performance with the Crown star during the Bellamy show had been spectacular.
00:50:40Her new fans felt that she should get the recognition she deserved,
00:50:43so they shared her videos online and bombarded Bellamy with fan mail.
00:50:49Based on the fans' reactions, Bellamy's founder, Julius Taylor, began watching the videos of Emma's performance.
00:50:56He was amazed by her beauty and suddenly realized that the model he'd been so angry with was the perfect match for his jewelry.
00:51:05It was like they were made for each other.
00:51:07Now that he had the time to calm down, he realized that Emma's elegance and professionalism were infinitely better for representing the Crown star than Amber had ever been.
00:51:20Ironically, because Emma had admitted wrongdoing, Julius even felt he could now trust her.
00:51:27He called a meeting at Bellamy to discuss changing the spokesperson.
00:51:30After watching the videos, the group reached the only possible conclusion.
00:51:36Emma had to be the next spokesperson.
00:51:39Julius called the head of global entertainment.
00:51:42Mr. Taylor, Nathan said as he answered the phone.
00:51:45Amber has almost completely recovered from her injuries and should be able to represent your company very soon.
00:51:52I'm not calling about that, Mr. Davis.
00:51:54Bellamy has decided to change spokespersons.
00:51:57We would like Emma to step in for Amber, he said.
00:52:01Nathan didn't know how to react.
00:52:03Mr. Taylor, I don't think that's right.
00:52:06We haven't signed the contract yet.
00:52:08If you're not willing to have Emma serve as the spokesperson, we would prefer to cancel this collaboration and work with another company.
00:52:15But we have other models, ones that are more famous than Amber.
00:52:20We only want Emma.
00:52:21Taylor had made up his mind, leaving Nathan with no choice.
00:52:25This deal was supposed to have cleared Amber's path to the top 10 model award.
00:52:30Telling her she was no longer the spokesperson was going to be tricky.
00:52:35The news quickly spread to Lisa, who called Emma right away.
00:52:39Emma!
00:52:39Emma!
00:52:40You got the deal!
00:52:41She yelled over the phone.
00:52:43Don't get ahead of yourself, Lisa.
00:52:45Amber isn't going to just let this deal slip away.
00:52:48News of Bellamy's request to change spokespersons quickly spread throughout the entertainment industry.
00:52:55Eric heard the news and realized that Emma had successfully taken back her position from Amber.
00:53:01It would barely have registered on the radar as an impressive contract for any of his models.
00:53:06But he knew it was a huge deal for Emma.
00:53:10He called her immediately.
00:53:11You did well.
00:53:13I'm very impressed.
00:53:14She laughed and responded,
00:53:17Getting that compliment from you makes me happier than anything else.
00:53:21I'm looking forward to it.
00:53:22She simply responded,
00:53:24So am I.
00:53:26But for now, she needed to return to Global and face Amber.
00:53:31Amber was fast asleep at Nathan's home, not yet aware of Bellamy's decision.
00:53:35She'd headed straight to his place from the hospital and demanded his undivided attention all night,
00:53:42refusing to let him call Emma.
00:53:44She was determined not to lose anything that was hers,
00:53:48and especially not to Emma, who always seemed to be waiting just around the corner.
00:53:53She was awoken by her assistant banging on the door.
00:53:56Finally, she reluctantly rolled out of the comfortable bed,
00:54:00pulled a dressing gown around her, and opened the door just a crack.
00:54:04Gary was impatient and flustered.
00:54:07Without speaking, he shoved the door further open with his elbow
00:54:10and held out his phone to show her the screen, already open to the entertainment news.
00:54:16Her first reaction was disbelief.
00:54:19What the hell is this?
00:54:21Bellamy already chose me.
00:54:23They can't go back on it now.
00:54:24Amber, this has already happened.
00:54:27Bellamy called Nathan and personally told him to make Emma the spokesperson,
00:54:31or they would find another company.
00:54:34Gary jabbed his finger at the phone.
00:54:36What did Emma do?
00:54:38How did she make this happen?
00:54:39We're going to Global to talk to Nathan in person, Amber said.
00:54:43She knew that if she just called him, he would say he was too busy to talk to her.
00:54:48Her best option was just to go down to the office and force him to deal with her face-to-face.
00:54:54Nathan was sitting in his office, feeling wrung out.
00:54:58Bellamy were adamant about signing Emma instead of Amber, and he couldn't lose the deal, but
00:55:04he knew how upset Amber would be.
00:55:07While he was still trying to figure out what he could say to Amber, she showed up at his
00:55:11office in the wheelchair the hospital had provided for her recovery.
00:55:15Nathan, what's going on?
00:55:17How could my deal be going to Emma instead?
00:55:20He bent down awkwardly to hug her.
00:55:23Amber, it's beyond my control, but I promise I'll help you secure an even better deal.
00:55:29She angrily pushed him away.
00:55:32I don't want another deal.
00:55:34You know as well as I do that Julius Taylor's sister is on the judging panel for the Top 10
00:55:39Model Awards.
00:55:40This deal was really important to me.
00:55:43How could you just hand it over to Emma?
00:55:46She's already stolen you from me.
00:55:48Isn't that enough?
00:55:49Why is she trying to take everything from me like this?
00:55:52If I lose this deal, I'm not going through with your plan to leave the country to have
00:55:56our child, and I won't stay a global either.
00:56:00Don't say that, Amber.
00:56:01We need to stick with what we've planned.
00:56:04You know I'm on your side.
00:56:06Why does she need this deal anyway?
00:56:08As far as she knows, she's about to marry you.
00:56:11I bet you could get her to change your mind if you really tried.
00:56:15Emma's given in to pressure easily enough in the past.
00:56:18Maybe I could convince her to give up the deal with Bellamy, Nathan thought.
00:56:23I'll speak to her.
00:56:24Don't cry, honey.
00:56:26It'll all be okay.
00:56:28Amber reached out for Nathan, sobbing.
00:56:30Just then, Emma knocked on the door.
00:56:33Amber immediately stopped crying and pulled away from Nathan with a fierce,
00:56:37bitter expression on her face.
00:56:40Emma, where were you?
00:56:42Don't you know I was looking for you all night?
00:56:44He asked.
00:56:45Emma glanced at him and then at Amber as Nathan continued.
00:56:49It was all just a misunderstanding between Amber and me, and I've already released a
00:56:53statement to clear it up.
00:56:54You don't need to make such a fuss.
00:56:57Emma knew very well what he meant by looking for her all night.
00:57:01He had obviously searched so hard, he'd ended up searching in his bed with Amber.
00:57:07Otherwise, he would have noticed that she was no longer living at her old place.
00:57:12Calmly, she met his eyes and said,
00:57:14Well, it's too bad that the problem between me and Amber isn't just a misunderstanding.
00:57:20I've helped out covering for her so many times in the past few years, but she turned
00:57:25around and stabbed me in the back the first chance she got.
00:57:29Do you both really think I'm that easy to push around?
00:57:33Emma, Amber was worried and stressed with all the media attention.
00:57:37She did the only thing she thought she could.
00:57:39Emma raised her eyebrows skeptically, but Nathan didn't notice and carried on.
00:57:45Look, that's not the issue right now.
00:57:47That incident is all over.
00:57:49It's water under the bridge.
00:57:51Please, let's forget about it.
00:57:53I have something else I want to talk to you about.
00:57:56I want you to turn down the spokesperson deal with Bellamy.
00:57:59Getting that deal is very important to Amber.
00:58:02You've already stepped away from the spotlight, so you don't need this kind of exposure.
00:58:07He spoke straightforwardly, as if it was already a done deal that Emma would agree.
00:58:12That contract was always meant to be mine, Amber added.
00:58:16Bellamy only suggested you because of my injuries, but as you can see, I'm almost recovered.
00:58:22And besides, you haven't done a show for so long, you probably can't even walk a runway anymore.
00:58:27You don't want to look like some stand-in, do you?
00:58:30That's a bit ironic, you asking that question of me, don't you think?
00:58:35Emma responded coldly.
00:58:38Emma, what's gotten into you?
00:58:39Nathan snapped.
00:58:41If you love me, you won't take this deal.
00:58:43Global needs Amber to win the top 10 model competition as a reputation boost.
00:58:49And the best way for her to win is by signing this deal with Bellamy.
00:58:53Amber laughed to herself.
00:58:54She was confident Emma would do anything for Nathan, even if it meant giving up such a lucrative deal.
00:59:01Nathan, quick, give Bellamy a call, she said.
00:59:04Let them know Emma's too busy planning her wedding and can't take on any new jobs.
00:59:09Nathan nodded, reaching for the phone.
00:59:11But just as he picked it up, Emma stopped him.
00:59:14You're too late.
00:59:15I've already accepted the offer.
00:59:18Emma!
00:59:19Nathan exclaimed in shock.
00:59:20She had never pushed back against any of his decisions before.
00:59:25I spoke to Mr. Taylor this morning, she continued.
00:59:28We're both really looking forward to working together.
00:59:31Emma, I'm the president of Global Entertainment.
00:59:34I make the decisions, not you.
00:59:37Nathan was furious.
00:59:40Why are you insisting on taking Amber's deal?
00:59:43You think this was my idea?
00:59:45Bellamy asked for me and said they would take their business elsewhere unless I stepped up.
00:59:50I took the deal for your sake, so Global wouldn't be left with nothing.
00:59:55You know, I hadn't believed the rumors about you and Amber.
00:59:58But if you'd rather take a loss like that than have me be the spokesperson,
01:00:03then maybe the two of you do have something going on after all.
01:00:06Of course not, he denied hastily.
01:00:09I can't believe you'd say such a thing.
01:00:11It's just that, since we're going to get married and start a family soon,
01:00:15I figured you'd rather not take on any extra professional responsibilities.
01:00:20But Emma wasn't done.
01:00:22Oh, so would you like to try explaining that to Julius Taylor?
01:00:26And what do you mean by saying that I took the deal from Amber?
01:00:30As far as I can tell, she's done all the taking.
01:00:34She's been doing it for years.
01:00:35Amber was getting angry now as well,
01:00:38resenting the accusations and the suggestions that she hadn't earned her own success.
01:00:44Emma, you're the one who stepped out of the limelight.
01:00:47I didn't take anything from you.
01:00:49What did you think was going to happen to your work?
01:00:51That we'd just let it go to another company?
01:00:54Fine, Emma said.
01:00:55You're right.
01:00:56If you can persuade Mr. Taylor to change his mind, I'll step down.
01:01:00Could Emma really be giving in?
01:01:02Nathan was now stuck in a difficult position.
01:01:06Emma was obviously still angry,
01:01:08or else she wouldn't have had the nerve to defy him like she never had before.
01:01:13And he'd promised Amber that Emma would give her back the deal.
01:01:17But ultimately, it was clear that Bellamy would take their contract somewhere else if they didn't get Emma.
01:01:23In the end, he had to protect the bottom line.
01:01:26Enough.
01:01:27Since Bellamy has requested Emma and Emma has already agreed, we're going with her.
01:01:33But Nathan...
01:01:34Amber whined.
01:01:35I made my decision, he snapped.
01:01:38It's time for both of you to accept it and leave.
01:01:41Emma, ask Lisa to come in when you go.
01:01:44It was clear that, even though he was left with no choice, he resented being pushed into the decision.
01:01:50Emma had a pretty good idea what Nathan was thinking.
01:01:53But if he expected her to feel bad about hurting his feelings, he was dreaming.
01:01:59Amber followed Emma out of the office, her anger continuing to boil up inside her.
01:02:04But she comforted herself that, even if Emma appeared to be making a comeback right now, she wasn't that popular yet.
01:02:11Amber planned to do everything she could to crush her.
01:02:15As soon as she saw her assistant, Gary, who was waiting in the lobby, she said,
01:02:20I want you to take a few photos of me working hard to recover and post them online.
01:02:24Let's stir up my fans' sympathy and get them to complain that Emma has stolen my deal.
01:02:29If I can't have it, I'm not going to let her take it.
01:02:33Don't you worry, Gary said.
01:02:34I know exactly what to do.
01:02:37Emma found Lisa waiting in her office and said,
01:02:40Nathan wants to talk to you.
01:02:41Don't be too nervous.
01:02:43Nervous?
01:02:44Are you kidding me?
01:02:45Who do you think I am?
01:02:46Lisa rolled her eyes.
01:02:48It's not my first day on the job, you know.
01:02:50If he thinks I'm just some pushover he can tear down, he's in for a shock.
01:02:55She headed into Nathan's office, a fierce expression on her face.
01:02:59She was not going to hold back.
01:03:02Nathan thrust a pile of papers in front of Lisa.
01:03:05I'm terminating your agreement with Global.
01:03:07You need to leave the premises, and you should make preparations to compensate us for breach
01:03:11of contract.
01:03:13Leave?
01:03:13Lisa laughed.
01:03:15Nathan, you must have a bad memory.
01:03:17When I first signed my contract, my salary was clearly stated alongside Emma's appearance
01:03:22fees.
01:03:23With all the work you've let Amber steal from her, I haven't once gotten paid as much as
01:03:27my contract stipulates.
01:03:29And the posts I made were all in Emma's best interests, ultimately benefiting the company.
01:03:35I did nothing wrong.
01:03:36If anyone should be worrying about breach of contract, it's you.
01:03:41You.
01:03:42Nathan couldn't believe his ears.
01:03:45If you aren't afraid of making Global's situation worse, we can always take this to
01:03:48court.
01:03:49I'm fine with that.
01:03:50But you might want to think about the rest of the industry losing trust in your brand.
01:03:55She paused to let her words sink in.
01:03:58Look, Nathan, I obviously won't be staying.
01:04:02But I don't want to leave on bad terms.
01:04:03Let's make this as painless as possible.
01:04:06What do you want?
01:04:08He muttered through gritted teeth.
01:04:11I'll agree to leave Global without a fuss, and you'll let all of this drop.
01:04:15You won't come after me for any kind of compensation.
01:04:17And from now on, we don't owe each other anything.
01:04:20He glared at her angrily, but recognized that this was the only option he had left.
01:04:26Fine.
01:04:27Just leave.
01:04:28I don't want to see you again.
01:04:30Nathan, let me give you a warning.
01:04:33There is no wall thick enough to block out what you've got coming to you.
01:04:37You'll be paying for the way you treated Emma for a very long time.
01:04:41Nathan glared at her as she walked out of the door with the now worthless paperwork he'd based his whole plan on.
01:04:48He grabbed his desk and flipped it over, scattering the contents all over the floor.
01:04:53Instead of leaving the building, Lisa went back to Emma's office,
01:04:57where the two of them celebrated the success of this part of the plan,
01:05:01and set to work plotting their next steps.
01:05:03When Nathan left his office to take a break, they ran straight into each other.
01:05:09Why are you still here?
01:05:10He asked.
01:05:11Emma froze for a moment.
01:05:13Then she replied,
01:05:14I just hired Lisa.
01:05:16Emma, what are you talking about?
01:05:18It's Global's call who will be managing you, not yours.
01:05:21She was driving him crazy.
01:05:24Oh, I didn't hire Lisa to be my manager.
01:05:26I hired her to be my assistant.
01:05:28It's in my contract that I can hire my own assistant, isn't it?
01:05:32Emma smiled sweetly.
01:05:35Lisa has looked after me so well for so long.
01:05:37She's the only person I trust to understand what I need to do a good job.
01:05:42Nathan pulled her aside, out of Lisa's earshot.
01:05:45Emma, what's wrong with you?
01:05:48Are you doing this just to spite me?
01:05:50Not everything is about you, Nathan.
01:05:53But for your information, Lisa is a lot more thoughtful than you
01:05:56and has never accused me of stealing anything from anybody.
01:06:00He looked at her coldly.
01:06:02Emma, you've always supported my career before.
01:06:06I don't understand what's going on.
01:06:08I told you, that whole mess with the crown star was the last time I'll ever take the blame for you or Amber.
01:06:15She remained calm, her voice steady and firm, her eyes completely emotionless.
01:06:21Nathan took a deep breath.
01:06:23If you're really going to be this childish, maybe we should call off our wedding, he hissed.
01:06:29He was sure that this tactic would make Emma apologize and regret ever trying to go up against him.
01:06:36She remained silent for a few moments, allowing him to believe that his threat was sinking in and she would cave.
01:06:42He could never have anticipated the response she was about to give.
01:06:47You don't want to get married anymore?
01:06:49Okay, we won't, Emma said with a pleasant smile.
01:06:53Let's wait until you're not busy.
01:06:54We can talk more later.
01:06:56Nathan was in shock.
01:06:58He reached out and grabbed Emma's shoulder.
01:07:01Don't you love me anymore?
01:07:04What about you?
01:07:05Do you love me?
01:07:06Emma carefully slipped out of his grasp, mindful of her promise to Eric not to get too close to another man.
01:07:12Nathan was stunned into silence.
01:07:15He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
01:07:18The truth was he had never had any real feelings for Emma.
01:07:22But he wasn't ready to give up his hold over her just yet.
01:07:26How can you even question my love?
01:07:28He finally said.
01:07:30Of course I want to marry you.
01:07:32I just wish you would think a little about all the stress I'm under.
01:07:36It hasn't been easy trying to get Amber into the running for the top 10 model awards.
01:07:40It's frustrating that you can't be more understanding.
01:07:44Emma slowly distanced herself from him, remaining composed.
01:07:49Well, if we're going to get married, you'll have to get used to me.
01:07:53This is who I am from now on.
01:07:55She left him standing there alone as she left the building.
01:08:00Nathan stood still for a while, trying to figure things out.
01:08:03He couldn't understand why Emma's attitude had changed so much.
01:08:07But after some thought, he decided she was just jealous of Amber.
01:08:12He didn't have the energy to chase after her and try and talk things out.
01:08:17After she cools down, she'll get over it, he thought.
01:08:20Besides, he needed to spend some time smoothing things over with Amber, who was still very upset.
01:08:27Emma put Nathan straight out of her mind and decided to hurry home to see Eric.
01:08:32The very thought of seeing him made her heart speed up in excitement.
01:08:37Emma, I'll take you home first so you can recharge, said Lisa.
01:08:40Tomorrow, we're signing the Bellamy contract and then straight off for an out-of-town commercial shoot.
01:08:46Lisa, would you be up for canceling the lease on your apartment and moving into my old home, rent-free?
01:08:52You can go ahead and change the locks.
01:08:54If Nathan asks, you could just say that you've moved in to work more closely with me,
01:08:59and he can't have a key anymore. Tomorrow, I'll sign a new contract with you.
01:09:04That works for me. It'll save me some money, if nothing else.
01:09:07After a pause, Lisa looked at Emma with a smirk.
01:09:11The mighty president of Kaleidoscope. How are things going there?
01:09:15Don't be so nosy, Emma replied, refusing to meet her friend's eyes.
01:09:20When Emma got to Eric's place, he wasn't back yet.
01:09:23She made her way into the kitchen and found his personal chef preparing dinner.
01:09:27Please, let me help, she said.
01:09:30There's no need. I wouldn't want to trouble you, the chef, an amicable middle-aged woman, answered.
01:09:36How about this instead, Emma suggested.
01:09:39Please, let me give you the rest of the day off and I'll cook dinner for Eric tonight.
01:09:45After some persuasion, Emma ushered the chef out of the kitchen and started her own cooking.
01:09:51Eric didn't get home until late at night.
01:09:53Not seeing Emma at first, he followed his nose to the kitchen.
01:09:57He was surprised to see her standing at the stove wearing an apron.
01:10:02After a moment, admiring her long, slender legs, he quietly approached her.
01:10:07Eric, careful, I'm cooking.
01:10:10Don't you want to eat?
01:10:11Mr. Eric Roberts, CEO of Kaleidoscope, can cook?
01:10:16Emma asked, raising her eyebrows.
01:10:17You know, this one time is okay, he said softly, but from now on, no more cooking for you.
01:10:25You shouldn't have to put in all this work, and it would be a tragedy if you scalded yourself.
01:10:29I'm quite capable of taking care of myself in the kitchen, she said playfully, touched by his concern.
01:10:36They continued preparing their dinner together.
01:10:39It turned out that Eric was actually quite an accomplished cook.
01:10:42When the meal was ready, they took a moment to admire the gorgeous spread they'd put together.
01:10:48It felt special, like something not just any couple could do in such perfect sync.
01:10:54As they sat down to enjoy their meal together, Emma said,
01:10:57Tomorrow, I'm headed to Seattle for a commercial shoot.
01:11:01I'm not sure how long the trip will be, but I definitely won't be home tomorrow night.
01:11:05Are you signing the contract with Bellamy tomorrow?
01:11:08Will you be leaving right after that?
01:11:10Yes, Bellamy wants to launch their new product as soon as possible, she said.
01:11:16Eric, I'll need some time, but I know that I can rise to a position that you'll be proud of.
01:11:22I'm already proud of you, but I have no doubt that you can reach the most dizzying heights of the industry,
01:11:29he responded, placing a morsel of food on Emma's plate.
01:11:32Not only was he looking forward to seeing her advance,
01:11:36he was also gleefully anticipating just how miserable Nathan and Amber would be.
01:11:41Emma and Eric, their lives now intertwined, embark on a new chapter.
01:11:48Emma's career takes flight, fueled by ambition and a newfound confidence.
01:11:52But as she ascends the corporate ladder, can she truly leave the past behind?
01:11:58Will Nathan ever truly accept Emma's independence?
01:12:02And what unforeseen challenges await this dynamic duo as they navigate the complexities of love,
01:12:09ambition, and the ever-shifting sands of the entertainment industry?
01:12:13Will Emma's career flourish?
01:12:16Or will the pressures of success strain her relationship with Eric?
01:12:20How will Nathan react to Emma's growing success and her blossoming relationship with Eric?
01:12:26Hey, I'm Emma.
