00:03:11You need to leave.
00:03:23Fine. I'll wait outside.
00:03:26It's not like this day could get any worse.
00:03:33Mom, what am I going to do?
00:03:39Mom, what am I going to do?
00:04:09Mom, what am I going to do?
00:04:16Mr. Delaney?
00:04:18I thought you had left.
00:04:22You turned me down just a few hours ago, and now you're already back?
00:04:28Yeah. I...
00:04:30My kindness and my time comes at the cost.
00:04:41You're making me...
00:04:43What?
00:04:44Unease or wet?
00:04:48Well...
00:04:49Why do you need to see me so urgently?
00:04:54Mr. Delaney...
00:04:55About your offer...
00:04:57To help me in exchange for my company...
00:05:01Is it still on the table?
00:05:03Yes, it is.
00:05:04What made you come back?
00:05:06My brother's...
00:05:07His medical bills are due today.
00:05:12I see.
00:05:13Money isn't an issue, but I need you to understand what you're stepping into.
00:05:17Becoming my sugar bae.
00:05:19I will owe your time and attention.
00:05:22Everything will be mine.
00:05:25I understand.
00:05:26I've made my decision, and I won't change it.
00:05:43Here's something to start with.
00:05:45That should be enough to cover the bills for now.
00:05:48There's more if you perform well.
00:05:50Mr. Delaney, this is more than I need.
00:05:54I want you to stop working at the club.
00:05:56From now on, you only work for me.
00:05:59Of course, sir.
00:06:02I don't know how to thank you.
00:06:04Or even begin to repay you.
00:06:07Well, we'll take this one step at a time.
00:06:09But I do have certain requirements.
00:06:12What requirements?
00:06:14Well, this is strictly going to be business.
00:06:20There will be a contract for you to sign.
00:06:23But for starters, I need to see your submission.
00:06:27What do you mean by submission?
00:06:30Is this an assignment?
00:06:31Yes.
00:06:33I'll bend over the desk.
00:06:36What?
00:06:37You want me to bend over?
00:06:40You heard me.
00:06:40People here respect my authority.
00:06:42And it's important that you do understand that as well.
00:06:46So he's the dominant type.
00:06:48Damn.
00:06:48That's kind of hot.
00:06:51But I can't let him think I'll just do anything he says.
00:06:55Come here.
00:07:02That's enough.
00:07:03You passed the test.
00:07:09So, what am I supposed to be doing?
00:07:13Do I sleep with you?
00:07:16It's not bad.
00:07:19Relax.
00:07:21For now, we'll start with having dinner.
00:07:27But you need to change.
00:07:28Try this one on.
00:07:47Okay.
00:07:47Okay.
00:07:48Okay.
00:07:48Okay.
00:07:48Okay.
00:07:48Try this one on.
00:07:59Mr. Delaney.
00:08:06How do I look?
00:08:09Everyone will be looking at you.
00:08:10Wow.
00:08:30This place is...
00:08:32It's mine.
00:08:33It's one of many.
00:08:35I like the dinners here.
00:08:36This is yours, too.
00:08:39Jesus.
00:08:40Do you own the entire city?
00:08:42There are stories about him you wouldn't even believe.
00:08:46And no woman's ever managed to get close to him.
00:08:48Have you ever been married?
00:08:49I find the whole concept of marriage and romance to be, uh...
00:08:56It complicates things.
00:08:58Being tied up to somebody can feel like a prison.
00:09:00But enough about me.
00:09:03Um...
00:09:03Tell me more about yourself.
00:09:07You told me about your brother.
00:09:08What about the rest of your family?
00:09:10My dad died when I was young.
00:09:12And my mom.
00:09:16She passed away in a car accident a couple months ago.
00:09:20Then there's my stepdad, but he's a total asshole.
00:09:24You got a boyfriend?
00:09:24I don't have one.
00:09:28I've been too focused on other things.
00:09:31Like...
00:09:32Surviving.
00:09:33Certain pleasures in life can be pretty life-fulfilling.
00:09:39Do you like sex?
00:09:41I'm...
00:09:42I'm still a virgin.
00:09:45A virgin?
00:09:47Well, that's weird nowadays.
00:09:50What are you trying to say?
00:09:51Nothing.
00:09:52I'm willing to give you that if you want it.
00:09:57It's the only thing I have to pay you back with.
00:10:00How old are you?
00:10:0019?
00:10:0120?
00:10:02You sound like you're from the last century.
00:10:06Stop making fun of me.
00:10:07No, I'm not.
00:10:09You remind me of somebody that I used to know.
00:10:12Really?
00:10:14Is that why you picked me?
00:10:15Partially.
00:10:17I like your honesty.
00:10:17It's refreshing.
00:10:18In a world where everybody likes to hide behind masks.
00:10:22It's...
00:10:24You should smile more.
00:10:26It makes you more attractive.
00:10:28That's something I expected to hear.
00:10:31Look, you don't need to worry about me.
00:10:34Our relationship will move at the pace that works for the both of us.
00:10:39Understood.
00:10:40I'm worried about my brother.
00:10:46Then let's go pay him a visit.
00:10:48You paid off the bills?
00:10:51How?
00:10:51Where'd you get the kind of money?
00:10:53You don't have to worry about that.
00:10:55Just focus on getting better and I'll handle everything else, okay?
00:11:00Yeah, Bella's right.
00:11:01Just focus on that.
00:11:03If you don't, you'll break her heart.
00:11:05All sorted?
00:11:14Yeah.
00:11:15They'll start Ethan's treatments as soon as possible.
00:11:22Where are we?
00:11:24Somewhere special to me.
00:11:26I always wanted to take someone with me, but I haven't got the chance.
00:11:30I didn't know you had such a romantic side, Mr. Delaney.
00:11:33Why don't you call me, Marcus?
00:11:39I can't thank you enough for what you've done.
00:11:42You've saved my brother's life.
00:11:44I don't know how I could ever repay you.
00:11:47You know, you keep saying that.
00:11:49Do you want to repay me that badly or such as that?
00:11:51Big words.
00:11:52Let me show you, Daddy.
00:12:06I don't know what got into me.
00:12:08Why am I imagining my first night with him?
00:12:11You know, that was unexpected.
00:12:27You've got some practicing to do.
00:12:30Was it really that bad?
00:12:32No, it was very, very rude.
00:12:38I'm going to ask you something.
00:12:41What's that?
00:12:43When you think about our age difference of 16 years, it's not a little.
00:12:48Older men are more charismatic.
00:12:53Where do you live?
00:12:56At a friend's place.
00:12:57My stepdad kicked me out of the house.
00:13:02From now on, you'll be living with me.
00:13:06Marcus?
00:13:08Are you home?
00:13:09Are you home?
00:13:27What about me?
00:13:36I'm home.
00:13:38I'm home.
00:13:38I'm home.
00:13:39Marcus Delaney? Accused of murder?
00:13:59What are you doing?
00:14:05The door was open. Mr. Delaney, I'm sorry. I saw your name.
00:14:10My past is not of your concern. You're staying out of my office.
00:14:14Did you really?
00:14:17Hey, we have an agreement only. Nothing else. So stop asking about it.
00:14:24Right.
00:14:28Bella, you're coming with me to Gala tonight. You should go get ready.
00:14:37What's wrong?
00:14:52These people, this place, it's just... it's a whole different world.
00:14:57You should be yourself. Everything will be fine.
00:15:07You're late.
00:15:09Steve.
00:15:10Steve, you're doing great.
00:15:12All because of you.
00:15:14Oh! Sharp as ever, sweetheart.
00:15:18Sweetheart?
00:15:20I see you never change, huh? Grace?
00:15:23I'm just having fun.
00:15:27Mrs. Isabella, she's my date.
00:15:31Hi, I'm Grace. Marcus's ex.
00:15:35You must be the stripper I've been hearing about.
00:15:39The stripper?
00:15:41I'm surprised they even let you in here.
00:15:44It's a very distinguished event.
00:15:47Not really a place for the answers.
00:15:51Am I right?
00:15:55We don't have a pole here, sweetheart.
00:15:58It's time to go back to where you belong.
00:16:01Security!
00:16:05Hey, go!
00:16:06Hey!
00:16:07Let go of her.
00:16:08She's with me.
00:16:11And if any one of you has a problem with that,
00:16:14you have to go through me.
00:16:16Your standards have really gone down, Marcus.
00:16:20I value Bella for who she is.
00:16:22Our past doesn't define us.
00:16:23Okay, but isn't that a little insulting to the rest of us?
00:16:29Think of your status, Marcus.
00:16:33This is beneath you.
00:16:35I've been called many things before.
00:16:40An arrogant.
00:16:41A liar.
00:16:42And even a murderer!
00:16:44And I've never given any of them a second's oath.
00:16:48I have found myself
00:16:50attracted.
00:16:52Hopelessly attracted to someone who was very close to me.
00:16:56Very much so.
00:16:58What's if you don't know him as well as you think you do, of course?
00:17:21Aren't you treating me a little too nicely, Marcus?
00:17:24What do you mean?
00:17:27This thing between us.
00:17:29Whatever it is, it won't last.
00:17:32I know it.
00:17:33You're a man with more experience than most, and I'm...
00:17:38To you, this is all just a game.
00:17:42Some harmless fun, but to me...
00:17:45I understand.
00:17:46But I've never expected anything from you. I told you that.
00:17:51I know you want me, Marcus.
00:17:54I can see it in the way you look at me. I'm not blind.
00:17:58I brought you here for a reason.
00:18:01I wanted to make things clear between the two of us.
00:18:04Yes, I would be lying if I would say that I don't crave you.
00:18:07But that's not all.
00:18:10I don't want you the way you think.
00:18:13Bella, I want you to be mine.
00:18:16I don't know what to say.
00:18:17I don't know what to say.
00:18:33I want your mind by itself.
00:18:36Do you really want me, Marcus?
00:18:38Yes.
00:18:40Let's go.
00:18:41Where we go?
00:18:43Home.
00:18:44I have a little surprise for you.
00:18:52Hey!
00:18:53Have you had dinner yet?
00:18:55I was thinking I could...
00:18:59Marcus!
00:19:01Marcus, can you hear me?
00:19:03The pills.
00:19:05Right there in the box.
00:19:15But don't worry about it.
00:19:16It's nothing serious.
00:19:18Marcus, how long has this been going on?
00:19:19Have you been to the hospital?
00:19:20I don't have time for hospitals.
00:19:22Don't worry about it.
00:19:24Marcus, you didn't answer my question.
00:19:26How long have you been taking these painkillers?
00:19:27Stop interrogating me.
00:19:28I don't pay you for this.
00:19:29Marcus, don't shut me out.
00:19:30I might understand better than you think.
00:19:31How could you?
00:19:32Because I know how you feel.
00:19:33Marcus, I know how you feel.
00:19:34I know how you feel.
00:19:35I know how you feel.
00:19:36I know how you feel.
00:19:37Marcus, how long has this been going on?
00:19:38Have you been to the hospital?
00:19:39I don't have time for hospitals.
00:19:40I don't have time for hospitals.
00:19:41Don't worry about it.
00:19:42Marcus, you didn't answer my question.
00:19:43How long have you been taking these painkillers?
00:19:44Stop interrogating me.
00:19:45I don't pay you for this.
00:19:47Marcus, don't shut me out.
00:19:48I might understand better than you think.
00:19:51How could you?
00:19:53Because I know how you feel.
00:19:56When my mother passed, I couldn't sleep.
00:20:00I had to rely heavily on sleeping pills.
00:20:04At first, they helped, but then I got addicted.
00:20:09I started having trouble breathing and feeling like I was drowning even when I wasn't.
00:20:15Yeah.
00:20:16I had a family once.
00:20:19A wife and a beautiful daughter.
00:20:23You had a family?
00:20:25Yeah.
00:20:26But I lost them.
00:20:27What happened?
00:20:29You can tell me, Marcus.
00:20:32Well, let's just say, it changed everything.
00:20:35I started working on a stop.
00:20:38Yeah.
00:20:39You know, no matter how much I worked, how much I earned,
00:20:43I just felt more alone.
00:20:46Like I could never have a family again.
00:20:48But you're not alone, Marcus.
00:20:52You have me.
00:20:54I know what we have is just an arrangement, but...
00:20:58I can still be your family.
00:21:02And I'm sorry if I said too much.
00:21:05Yeah, you did.
00:21:07And there's consequences for that.
00:21:13You have to keep you.
00:21:14I know, I feel bad.
00:21:15I know, I feel bad.
00:21:16Wait, what do you care?
00:21:17I feel bad?
00:21:18What are you talking about?
00:21:19I feel bad.
00:21:20I feel bad.
00:21:21I feel bad.
00:21:22I feel bad.
00:21:23You're bad.
00:21:28I feel bad.
00:21:30I feel bad.
00:21:31I feel bad.
00:21:32Oh, my God.
00:21:42We make it hot.
00:21:45We make it crazy.
00:21:47We stop the clock and take the payments.
00:21:56Do you like a gift?
00:21:59Oh, Marcus, this is too much. I can't accept it.
00:22:04He isn't spoiling me my job.
00:22:07Thank you, but...
00:22:09Take it for a spin. Have fun with it.
00:22:13Okay.
00:22:14I'm swinging by my old house to grab Ethan some headphones.
00:22:18I'll see you tonight.
00:22:21Bye.
00:22:29Oh, there it is.
00:22:33What are you doing here, Sam?
00:22:35Shouldn't you show a little respect to your dad, kid?
00:22:39You're not my dad, and this is not your house.
00:22:42You have no right to be here.
00:22:44Then how come I have these, huh?
00:22:51Because you stole them from my mom.
00:22:53This house belongs to Ethan and I.
00:22:56Don't make me laugh.
00:22:57Your mother's probably rolling around in your grave knowing your daughter is a stripper, a tramp, and a thief.
00:23:03What are you talking about?
00:23:05The Rolex she gave me.
00:23:06It's gone missing.
00:23:08I think you took it.
00:23:12That's ridiculous.
00:23:14I haven't even been home lately.
00:23:16Why don't you ask your new girlfriend, not me?
00:23:19Look, I know you don't like her, but your mother's been gone for months.
00:23:23A man's gotta move on.
00:23:25I have needs.
00:23:27Move on?
00:23:28You moved on long before Mom died.
00:23:30She gave you everything, and you were never there for her when she needed you.
00:23:36Ungrateful asshole!
00:23:39How dare you, you fucking bitch!
00:23:43Let her go.
00:23:47Who are you?
00:23:49Marcus Delany.
00:23:50That's ridiculous.
00:23:51Why would the richest man in town be standing up for this slut?
00:23:55Hey, one more word about her, and I'll make sure it'll be her last.
00:23:58Get that!
00:24:01Yes, sir.
00:24:02No, sir.
00:24:03Get out.
00:24:04Get out.
00:24:05Get out of here!
00:24:07Hey.
00:24:09Hey.
00:24:10You okay?
00:24:12I'm fine.
00:24:14Thank you for stepping in.
00:24:17How did you find me?
00:24:20You told me you were coming here.
00:24:22But I didn't tell you where it was.
00:24:25Did you?
00:24:27Are you following me?
00:24:32I just know you.
00:24:34You're my baby, and I want to make sure that you're safe.
00:24:39What's wrong?
00:24:41Hm?
00:24:43No one's cared about me like this.
00:24:46Not since Mom.
00:24:48Sam didn't deserve her.
00:24:52When he first came into our lives, he was perfect.
00:24:55He was kind, supportive.
00:24:58Mom thought she was finally going to have the family she always dreamed of.
00:25:01But then after they got married, everything changed.
00:25:07What's all you slapped him?
00:25:10I don't...
00:25:11I don't usually...
00:25:13I don't know what got into me.
00:25:14I just...
00:25:15I got so angry.
00:25:17No, no, no.
00:25:18You did what needed to be done.
00:25:20It's good.
00:25:22Honestly, it was a...
00:25:24It was a turn-on to me.
00:25:27Are you teasing me?
00:25:30Don't be silly.
00:25:31How about we get those headphones to Ethan now?
00:25:34You...
00:25:35Wanna come to the hospital with me?
00:25:40Bella, what's going on?
00:25:42This is Mr. Delaney, Ethan.
00:25:45He's my...
00:25:46I'm her new boss.
00:25:47Nice to meet you, Ethan.
00:25:50New boss?
00:25:52From the pizza place?
00:25:53Well, I guess I like to make things cheesy.
00:25:57That was terrible.
00:26:00Well, here, just something a little to help your recovery.
00:26:05I hope they'll do some good.
00:26:12Thank you, Mr. Delaney.
00:26:16Call me Marcus.
00:26:18Oh, Marcus, you must be some special boss.
00:26:21Bella's never brought anyone to see me before.
00:26:22Ethan!
00:26:24Marcus is just really supportive.
00:26:27That's all.
00:26:29Well, your sister told me a lot about you.
00:26:31Keep chasing that dream of becoming a musician.
00:26:33I will once I get out of here.
00:26:35Well, I got some work to manage.
00:26:38I'll leave you two to catch up.
00:26:40If you need a ride home, call Jason.
00:26:44Seems like a good guy.
00:26:45I hope we get plenty of rest. We're flying to Dubai this afternoon.
00:26:55Dubai? Today?
00:26:57I have a meeting with a new business partner tomorrow.
00:27:00I want you to come with me.
00:27:02And don't forget to pack the gowns that I got you.
00:27:05There will be some important events to attend.
00:27:07But my passport is expired.
00:27:10Not anymore. I took care of it.
00:27:12You did?
00:27:14Yeah, there's nothing I can do.
00:27:16Prepare the luggage.
00:27:18You don't own this place too, do you?
00:27:27Mr. Delaney, ma'am?
00:27:32I usually stay at my own hotels when I travel.
00:27:40You should start getting used to that.
00:27:42Listen, I gotta go take care of something quick.
00:27:44I'll be right back.
00:27:50Well, well.
00:27:52If it isn't Marcus's newest little plaything.
00:27:56What are you doing here?
00:27:58Didn't Marcus tell you?
00:28:00He came all the way here for me.
00:28:03For you?
00:28:05He wanted to come alone, but I insisted he bring you along.
00:28:09But we'll always have our own little secrets that he'll never tell you about, though.
00:28:14What are you talking about?
00:28:16I don't believe you.
00:28:18Because I know what he needs.
00:28:21He may be all over you for now, but a guy like that will never end up with a girl like you.
00:28:32Isn't that right?
00:28:34Let's keep this professional.
00:28:36We're a business partner only. Nothing else.
00:28:39She must be lying, trying to get under my skin.
00:28:42I won't let this happen.
00:28:44Whatever you say.
00:28:47But it would be good if Bella could give us a moment alone.
00:28:50That business proposal I mentioned is...
00:28:53Highly confidential.
00:28:55You don't mind, say?
00:28:59Fine.
00:29:00I'll go.
00:29:09We'll pick this up later.
00:29:11Don't keep me waiting.
00:29:13I won't.
00:29:22Drink, please.
00:29:23Hey.
00:29:24What's going on?
00:29:26I was your meeting with your partner.
00:29:31What, you jealous?
00:29:33Jealous?
00:29:35Why would I be jealous?
00:29:37It's just business, right?
00:29:39Just like us.
00:29:41What we have is just a contract, an agreement.
00:29:43Mr. Glenn?
00:29:46Bella.
00:29:47Look at me.
00:29:49I need you to understand one thing.
00:29:51You mean to me a lot more than she ever did.
00:29:54She's my past.
00:29:56You're my present.
00:29:58But your past...
00:30:00Like, why is your past so complicated?
00:30:02It's Dr. Carlson.
00:30:09Hey.
00:30:11Doctor, is everything okay?
00:30:16What?
00:30:18Ethan's in the ICU.
00:30:29Ethan, please.
00:30:31Come back to me.
00:30:38How's Ethan doing?
00:30:40Not sure.
00:30:42But it's not looking good.
00:30:44Everything will be alright, Bella.
00:30:47I'm so tied up in Dubai, but I'll be there as soon as I can.
00:30:51Okay.
00:30:55Doctor, what's going on with Ethan?
00:30:57His cranial pressure has spiked.
00:30:58Now we're doing everything we can to stabilize him, but it's critical right now.
00:31:02Can I see him?
00:31:03No, not yet.
00:31:04We can't allow visitors in right now, not with the condition he's in.
00:31:07Please.
00:31:09Doctor, there must be something we can do.
00:31:12We're considering a specialized intubation procedure.
00:31:15It's meant to relieve the pressure by draining the excess cerebral spinal fluid.
00:31:18But there are risks.
00:31:22What kinds of risks?
00:31:24Infection, bleeding, even further brain damage.
00:31:28If it works, it could significantly improve his condition.
00:31:31The success rate is promising, but it's not guaranteed.
00:31:45And the cost?
00:31:48It's expensive.
00:31:50I don't know if Ethan's insurance will cover it.
00:31:52I need some air.
00:31:55Um, I know a place. Follow me.
00:31:59I see why you come here when you're stressed.
00:32:00Yeah.
00:32:02Sometimes you need a break from all the chaos happening downstairs.
00:32:05Yeah, I can imagine.
00:32:07It must take a toll on you after a while.
00:32:10Yeah, I mean it does, but...
00:32:12I don't regret a second of it.
00:32:14Why's that?
00:32:16Oh, I mean...
00:32:31Well, I mean...
00:32:33People think that we're working so hard just to try to prevent the inevitable.
00:32:37But, I mean, when the time comes, my job has one thing different than any other job.
00:32:43the other job. What is that? Hope. We bring hope. People, people need that, Bella. They want to
00:32:55believe that it's not the end and that they're going to be saved. And I mean, sometimes we can
00:33:01do that. That must be a heavy weight to carry. I mean, it's not always easy, but when I can like
00:33:10help my patients, see the joy and relief on their face, I mean, that makes it worth it.
00:33:19Must be beautiful. I understand what you're going through. No, like, trust me, I've been
00:33:26there, but I know Ethan is going to be fine. Well, let's hope you're right.
00:33:34Uh, I was wanting to ask you something. Who's that older gentleman that you've been hanging
00:33:45out with? What's your relationship with him? He's actually the one that's been helping me
00:33:52with the costs. Oh, yeah. Ethan mentioned him. Say he's a great guy. Yeah. Um, speaking
00:34:04of Ethan, what do you think I should do about him? Um, I mean, he has a rare condition. The
00:34:14operation I mentioned is risky, but I mean, I think it's our best choice. I think the best
00:34:21way of moving forward is to take a calculated risk. I see. I guess I have no other choice
00:34:30then. I have to figure out a way to pay for everything. I can help you if you ever need
00:34:39anything. Uh, bring the luggage to the bedroom. You got it, boss.
00:34:52How's Ethan? Have you made your decision about the operation yet?
00:34:56Yes. We're moving forward with the surgery. Good. I'm sure he'll be all right, Bella.
00:35:02Thanks. There's also something... I know what's on your mind. Don't worry about the
00:35:12money. Everything will be taken care of. But it's really expensive. I'll do anything for
00:35:19Ethan as long as it makes you happy. Besides, it's nothing compared to what you have done
00:35:23for me. My headaches after all of these years are finally getting better. And it's all because
00:35:28of you. I'm really glad to hear that. I can't thank you enough for what you've done for
00:35:35me. And for Ethan. Let's get out of here. You need to relax a little bit.
00:35:42Where are we going? Somewhere in front.
00:35:44Mr. Billy. Hi.
00:36:02Ever played pool before? Yes, but I wouldn't say no to a refresher from someone as handsome
00:36:09is you. Marcus, there are other people here. It's okay. Let them watch. Put your hand in
00:36:21the front. Get low. And really look at the pool. Nice shot.
00:36:31Hey. Um. Okay, so I have some good news. Now you may not be able to see Ethan yet, but he's
00:36:39showing strong signs of improvement. Thank you for telling me this. You don't know how much
00:36:46this means to me. Also, I, uh, I got you something. I notice how you're always sketching with random
00:36:54pieces of paper when you're here with Ethan, so I thought you might find this useful.
00:36:59I didn't think you would have noticed that. Uh, call me Will. I do have an identity outside
00:37:07of the hospital, you know. You do look kind of cute when you're not in scrubs. He's so
00:37:14different from Marcus. Simple, straightforward, and kind. The type of guy I always thought I
00:37:20would do. Shit. Is everything okay? No. No, it's not. Jenny. Why, hello there. If it isn't
00:37:42Miss Bella Rivera, the new gold digger in town. You posted these photos, didn't you?
00:37:48I have no idea what you're talking about. You were the only one that knew I was in a private
00:37:52room with Marcus. So? Do you have any proof? No? Then move along. Some of us have to work
00:37:59for a living. Honestly, I don't even understand what's got you so worked up. You know it's
00:38:05true, don't you? Were you really that naive to think Marcus is serious about you? You're
00:38:13just a replacement for his ex-wife. What? See for yourself. Go ask your beloved Marcus.
00:38:26No, I can't be. Stand up. Don't let them see you this way. You remind me of somebody
00:38:37that I used to know. God, you are so pathetic. Even I feel sorry for you. Fine. I'll tell
00:38:47you her name. Lindsay Delaney. It's not like it's a secret. The Delanys were famous. And
00:38:54she was the love of his life.
00:39:15Mafia? Marcus has ties to the Mafia?
00:39:24who are you? Really? Lindsay?
00:39:29Lindsay?
00:39:46I've been trying to call you. Why did you pick up? No reason. I was just in the bathroom.
00:39:51I was just in the bathroom.
00:39:53You okay? You shall...
00:39:55I'm fine.
00:39:57Just... a little distracted, I guess.
00:40:01It's about Ethan, isn't it?
00:40:03Don't worry, darling. He's going to be okay.
00:40:06Yeah, I know.
00:40:08So, um, why are you calling?
00:40:12I need you to come to your mother's house.
00:40:15My mom's house?
00:40:18Stay! Don't fucking move!
00:40:21Let go of me!
00:40:27What's going on?
00:40:28We're here to settle some long overdue matters with Alcott.
00:40:31It's time the truth came out.
00:40:33What the fuck are you doing in my house?
00:40:35Your house.
00:40:37This document proves your years of infidelity and financial misconduct.
00:40:42It shows your embezzlement of funds that rightfully belong to Itabella and Ethan Rivera.
00:40:47How could you?
00:40:56Mom trusted you and you betrayed her!
00:40:59I didn't do it-
00:41:00Wait, Alcott!
00:41:01I don't think you can deny this any further.
00:41:04Marcus, how did you know about all this?
00:41:07I promised you it helped, didn't I?
00:41:10This is total bullshit!
00:41:13You have no fucking proof!
00:41:15You have no right to treat me this way!
00:41:17Get the fuck out of my house!
00:41:19Marcus, who is he?
00:41:22They work for me.
00:41:23You relinquency control of your property, Mr. Alcott.
00:41:26Sign the contract.
00:41:28I'm not fucking signing anything!
00:41:33You'll want to reconsider that, Sam.
00:41:35I'm doing you a favor.
00:41:37Sign it!
00:41:39Well, let's just say the consequences won't be as pretty.
00:41:43How does Marcus have all this power?
00:41:46Is it because of his mafia connections?
00:41:49It'll handle the rest.
00:41:51Let's get out of here.
00:41:52Let's do something else.
00:41:54You seem distracted.
00:42:09What's going on?
00:42:10This isn't just about Ethan now, is it?
00:42:12There's...
00:42:13There's been some talk about us.
00:42:17You know I couldn't care less about that, and I hope you don't either.
00:42:21I found out about Lindsay.
00:42:24So you found out.
00:42:27I know I'm not supposed to ask this, but...
00:42:33Did you kill someone?
00:42:35No.
00:42:38But I tried to.
00:42:41Who was it?
00:42:42And why?
00:42:44His name was...
00:42:46His name was Julian.
00:42:49He's been a thorn in my side for many years.
00:42:52He set up a car crash trying to kill me, but instead he...
00:42:58Instead of killing me, he killed Lindsay and...
00:43:02And Maya.
00:43:04I wanted to destroy this guy so much.
00:43:09I wanted to kill him.
00:43:12They used to kick her.
00:43:14And you're gonna laugh when you hear this.
00:43:17The only damn reason I didn't kill him is because I found out he has a...
00:43:22He has a daughter.
00:43:24A five-year-old daughter just like mine.
00:43:28And I couldn't do that to her.
00:43:31So I...
00:43:34I stepped away.
00:43:38It was the hardest thing I had to do.
00:43:41Just let it go.
00:43:43I'm sorry.
00:43:46Marcus, I didn't mean to bring back painful memories.
00:43:51It's okay.
00:43:54Is that what's been bothering you?
00:43:57Thinking that I'm dangerous?
00:44:00Maybe...
00:44:03There's also...
00:44:05Some other things.
00:44:07What else?
00:44:09When you look at me...
00:44:11Who do you see?
00:44:14Bella?
00:44:15Or Lindsay?
00:44:17I saw a photo of her.
00:44:20And I look just like her.
00:44:22Now I know why you stared at me like that the first time we met.
00:44:26And when I came out of the fitting room.
00:44:29That's why you picked me, isn't it?
00:44:32You've been so nice to me because I remind you of her.
00:44:37I'm just a replacement to you.
00:44:39It's true.
00:44:42You're right.
00:44:43The first time I saw you...
00:44:46There was so much to Lindsay that was uncanny.
00:44:50I...
00:44:51It caught me by surprise.
00:44:53I...
00:44:54It brought up some memories I didn't want to face.
00:45:00But the more I got to know you, I started realizing that...
00:45:07You're not just some ghost from my past.
00:45:12No.
00:45:16Your strength.
00:45:17Your compassion.
00:45:19And your pure heart.
00:45:24That's what I care about.
00:45:26You're not just any girl, Bella.
00:45:29You're you.
00:45:31And that's what I care about.
00:45:34That's all I say.
00:45:36Marcus!
00:45:37Get down!
00:45:38Get down!
00:45:39Get down!
00:45:40Fuck!
00:45:41Bella, are you hip?
00:45:42Can you see your body?
00:45:43Are you hip?
00:45:44Get down!
00:45:45Get down!
00:45:46Get down!
00:45:47Get down!
00:45:48And don't leave the car before I tell you.
00:45:49Marcus, no!
00:45:50You're hurt!
00:45:51Stay in the car!
00:45:52Hey, we need to get out of here.
00:45:53Come on!
00:45:54Come on!
00:45:55Pick up the cell phone.
00:45:56Call Jason.
00:45:57Call Jason.
00:45:58Hey!
00:45:59Hey!
00:46:00Hey, Jason.
00:46:01Pick up the cell phone.
00:46:02Call Jason.
00:46:03Hey, Jason.
00:46:04Pick up the cell phone.
00:46:05Call Jason.
00:46:06Hey, Jason.
00:46:07Pick up the cell phone.
00:46:08Call Jason.
00:46:09Hey, Jason.
00:46:10Pick us up at 4th and Franklin.
00:46:11Did you kill them?
00:46:14No, I just shot their legs.
00:46:15I took them out of commission.
00:46:16You're right.
00:46:17You're not shot, right?
00:46:18I'm fine.
00:46:19No, no.
00:46:20I'm fine.
00:46:21You're fine.
00:46:22I'm fine, man.
00:46:23You're fine.
00:46:24No!
00:46:25No!
00:46:26No!
00:46:27No!
00:46:28No, no!
00:46:29No!
00:46:30No!
00:46:31No!
00:46:32No!
00:46:33No!
00:46:34No no!
00:46:35No!
00:46:36No!
00:46:37No!
00:46:38No!
00:46:39No!
00:46:40right? I'm fine. Who were they? Julian's man. He's trying to send a message. What are you
00:46:47going to do? Are you okay? There's nothing to worry about. Hey, listen. I won't let anything
00:46:56happen to us. All right? I made a mistake once. We'll make another one. Sir Danny, people
00:47:04were a limit of gunshots. What's happening? Is this the lady who appeared with Julian
00:47:07from the leaked photos on social media? Is she your new wife? Don't say anything. Let's
00:47:14go. Oh, God, I've already moved on from Lindsay Delaney. Boss, we gotta go. Come on. You
00:47:20all right? Yeah, I just got chopped. It's nothing. It's just a superficial woman. I don't know
00:47:29you had a rough night. Does this happen to you frequently? You already know the answer
00:47:35to that. A life like this isn't simple. It always comes with complications. Hey, you
00:47:43should go rest now. You're going to go take care of Ethan in the morning, don't you?
00:47:53Sam Alcott?
00:47:54What? Who the fuck are you? Someone with a common interest. I heard you lost everything
00:48:09because of a certain stripper. Yeah, my daughter Bella fucking bitch. Consider this a gift to
00:48:17help you get back what you rightfully deserve. I assume you'll use it well?
00:48:22I know exactly what to do with it.
00:48:32Hi. Is it okay to visit Ethan today? Ethan, um, we don't have a patient here by that name.
00:48:42What? Dr. Carlson.
00:48:43Thank you. Will, where's Ethan? Ethan's fine. Calm down. He's moved to a regular ward now that
00:48:51he's more stable. God, really? Yes, of course. Can I go see him? Yes, of course.
00:48:59You should try talking to him. Some patients start showing better signs when they hear a familiar
00:49:10voice. Hey, Ethan. It's Bella. I was thinking about that one time the other day on Halloween
00:49:20when you saved all the candy corn because you knew it was my favorite. And at the ATH concert,
00:49:28I think that was the first time I saw you smile since Mom passed.
00:49:36Ethan, I don't want you to become just another memory. There's still so much I want to do with you,
00:49:43and I need you to come back.
00:49:51What can you tell us about her metaphor?
00:49:53Just from when she was born to...
00:49:55Mr. Rivera, is it true you're with Marcus Delaney for his inheritance?
00:49:58Any comments on your past as a stripper?
00:50:00Where's your brother? Can we talk to him?
00:50:02Okay, stop, stop, stop.
00:50:04Stick close to me.
00:50:06Is that your problem?
00:50:07How much is...
00:50:08One second.
00:50:09I mean, come on.
00:50:10Please tell us, this is as much as we've heard it is.
00:50:12Is there a ring in your future?
00:50:14How do you feel about our pants or fakers? Maybe...
00:50:17Are you over to the doctor?
00:50:21Shh.
00:50:24We should be good here.
00:50:27Where are they?
00:50:40We should be good here.
00:50:42I'm sorry. I didn't think they'd follow me all the way to the hospital.
00:50:46Don't apologize. It's not your fault.
00:50:49I can't imagine the pressure of being with someone so popular.
00:50:55He's...
00:50:55He's been helpful to me.
00:50:58You already have so much on your plate.
00:51:01You shouldn't take on more.
00:51:04Well...
00:51:05I don't want to be just Dr. Carlson to you anymore.
00:51:11I feel like this...
00:51:12You already know this, but...
00:51:14I've fallen for you, Bella.
00:51:16Shh.
00:51:19I...
00:51:19I don't know what to say.
00:51:21Oh, you don't have to say anything.
00:51:25I just wanted to tell you how I feel.
00:51:30What should I do about Marcus?
00:51:33I wouldn't even have this house back if it weren't for him.
00:51:36But with Will, everything just feels so easy.
00:51:44How did they find me?
00:51:50Where the hell have you been?
00:51:51I've been trying to reach you all day.
00:51:53Listen to me.
00:51:54You don't disappear on me without an explanation.
00:51:57I'm sorry.
00:52:00I had to wait for the paparazzi to leave my mom's house.
00:52:04Well, they followed you.
00:52:06They're everywhere.
00:52:07They even went to the hospital.
00:52:10Come here.
00:52:11Sit down.
00:52:15I'll have Jason handle it.
00:52:17They won't bother you anymore.
00:52:20Where was Ethan?
00:52:23He got out of the ICU.
00:52:25And the surgery is in two days.
00:52:31Well, I have an important meeting that day.
00:52:34But I'll try to be there as soon as I can.
00:52:37That's okay.
00:52:38You don't have to.
00:52:40No, I want to.
00:52:50The surgery was successful.
00:52:52Ethan pulled through greatly.
00:52:53That's amazing.
00:52:55He's unconscious right now, but you can see him already.
00:53:01Ethan, it's Bella.
00:53:04Thank you for being so strong.
00:53:10Bella?
00:53:11Bella!
00:53:12Bella, what's wrong?
00:53:13I don't know.
00:53:16I don't know.
00:53:17Feels to see.
00:53:18Yeah, because you've been working yourself so much.
00:53:21What the hell is going on around here?
00:53:23Marcus, no!
00:53:23Marcus, no!
00:53:28Mr. Delaney, I presume.
00:53:31Get your hands off of her.
00:53:33She's mine.
00:53:34She's yours.
00:53:36When did she ever become yours?
00:53:38I'm going to say this one last time.
00:53:40She belongs to me.
00:53:42Wait, this is unbelievable.
00:53:44She's going through so much,
00:53:45and all you're thinking about
00:53:46is trying to control her?
00:53:48I wasn't sure about it at first,
00:53:50but now I'm certain
00:53:50you're bad for her.
00:53:53Bella?
00:53:53Ethan, I'm here.
00:53:57How are you feeling?
00:53:58I can't breathe.
00:54:00Yeah, no, it's because
00:54:01you just went through
00:54:02a major surgery, all right?
00:54:03You're okay.
00:54:04It's just going to take
00:54:05some time to adjust.
00:54:08You're doing great, Ethan.
00:54:16Hey.
00:54:17You said there was something
00:54:19you wanted to talk to me about?
00:54:21I want to terminate our contract.
00:54:23Oh, why?
00:54:28Is this about what happened
00:54:29with Will, Dr. Carlson?
00:54:32No.
00:54:33I want you to be free.
00:54:35Especially now,
00:54:36since Ethan's condition
00:54:37is improving, I...
00:54:39I don't want you to be bound
00:54:40by this contract any longer.
00:54:49So, you're not jealous?
00:54:53Yes and no.
00:54:56I think it's time
00:54:56that we reassess
00:54:58what we are.
00:54:58I hope I can see you again,
00:55:25Mr. Delaney.
00:55:27Thank you for everything
00:55:28you've done for me
00:55:29and for Ethan.
00:55:34Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:55:36I'm not...
00:55:37I'm not finished.
00:55:39I...
00:55:39Now, since the contract is over,
00:55:42there's something
00:55:43I need to tell you.
00:55:44Bella, I love you.
00:55:50And I want a future with you.
00:55:52It must be...
00:55:56What did you say?
00:56:03Damn it, Bella.
00:56:04I said I love you.
00:56:04And it's not because of Lindsay
00:56:09or the damn contract.
00:56:11It's because of who you are.
00:56:13You changed my life
00:56:14and I want to spend
00:56:15the rest of it with you.
00:56:18But you made it clear
00:56:20it was just a deal between us.
00:56:22You said you didn't believe in love.
00:56:24Yeah.
00:56:25For the longest time,
00:56:27I thought love would make me weak.
00:56:29But then you came along
00:56:30and you showed me
00:56:32that we can be...
00:56:33It can make us stronger together.
00:56:36I'm ready to fully commit to this.
00:56:39To us.
00:56:41Bella, be mine.
00:56:44I don't know.
00:56:46Marcus, this is just...
00:56:47so sudden.
00:56:49I need time
00:56:51to figure things out.
00:56:53Yeah, I understand.
00:56:57Take all the time you need.
00:56:59Just like the first time
00:57:00when I brought up the deal.
00:57:02And if you choose to be
00:57:03with Dr. Carlson over there, I...
00:57:06But there's one thing
00:57:07I want you to know.
00:57:10I want to protect you
00:57:11for the rest of my life.
00:57:13I'm serious about that.
00:57:14You took everything from me.
00:57:36Bella!
00:57:36Are you alright?
00:57:42Why are you so fucking persistent?
00:57:50Marcus!
00:57:51Marcus, are you okay?
00:57:53Yes.
00:57:54I'm home.
00:57:58Marcus!
00:57:59Are you okay?
00:58:01Help!
00:58:02Please!
00:58:03Please!
00:58:03Marcus, how are you feeling?
00:58:17I'm alright.
00:58:19I can't believe you did that.
00:58:22I'll do it again.
00:58:24I'll do anything to keep you safe.
00:58:28Marcus, I have to tell you something.
00:58:31About what you said before.
00:58:33I love you, Marcus.
00:58:37There was never going to be somebody else.
00:58:40It was always going to be you.
00:58:52I may not be able to walk again.
00:58:56I'll love you no matter what.
00:58:57I feel so good now that Sam's in jail.
00:59:14You still need to be careful, though.
00:59:16Will only agreed to let you come home as a trial, remember?
00:59:19I know, I know.
00:59:20It's just, we're here, the home we grew up in.
00:59:24This is going to do a lot of good for me, okay?
00:59:26I know it.
00:59:26I feel it.
00:59:28Hey, did you hear Julian Levine got arrested, too?
00:59:31Yeah.
00:59:32Marcus told me.
00:59:33They finally got enough evidence against him.
00:59:35It's a good thing.
00:59:37Marcus's leg is healed.
00:59:39All right?
00:59:40It's an item for me, okay?
00:59:42I will.
00:59:55Marcus, what is all this?
00:59:57This is your new office.
01:00:00Your own interior design studio.
01:00:06Marcus, I can't believe it.
01:00:11May I propose another contract?
01:00:14One that proves my undying love for you.
01:00:18Isabella.
01:00:20Rivera.
01:00:22Would you marry me?
01:00:24Oh, my God.
01:00:25Yes, I will.
01:00:27This must be what I've been dreaming of.
