00:00:01Let me introduce you to our product design director.
00:00:04Yeah, I've got a job at the largest jewelry design firm in the country.
00:00:11Dean?
00:00:23Where is he?
00:00:27He's not coming.
00:00:30It's nice to see you again.
00:00:41Really?
00:00:45I'm gonna need some time to reconsider this offer.
00:00:47I'm sorry?
00:00:48I just need some time to think.
00:00:54How is that even possible?
00:00:56Dean, the man who abandoned me at the wedding is going to be my boss.
00:01:00I'll never let that happen.
00:01:09Hello?
00:01:10Miss Wilkins, this is regarding your outstanding debt from Wilkins Jewelry Design, LLC.
00:01:16$47,000 is now past due.
00:01:19We need immediate payment.
00:01:21I'm working on it.
00:01:22Can you just give me till, like, the end of-
00:01:25We need immediate payment, Ms. Wilkins.
00:01:30Okay.
00:01:31Okay, I'll, um...
00:01:33I'll try.
00:01:34I accept the offer.
00:01:50Sylvia, you're...
00:01:52You're back.
00:01:54So when should I start?
00:01:55When should I start?
00:01:56You're back.
00:01:57I'm back.
00:01:58I'm back.
00:01:59I'm back, too.
00:02:00You're back.
00:02:01You're back.
00:02:02I'm back.
00:02:03You're back.
00:02:04You're back.
00:02:05You're back.
00:02:06You're back.
00:02:08You're back.
00:02:09I'm back.
00:02:11I've been waiting for you.
00:02:12Dad!
00:02:30Hey, buddy.
00:02:32What have you been up to today?
00:02:35Tell me everything.
00:02:39All right, buddy.
00:02:40Time for bed.
00:02:42There we go.
00:02:48Daddy, is this my mom?
00:02:51I'll be taking that now, buddy.
00:02:58Take this design, for example.
00:03:01The stone is way too big.
00:03:03It overwhelms the band, and the setting is wrong.
00:03:06It'll just snag on everything.
00:03:07My designs are perfectly fine.
00:03:09Fine isn't what couples remember on their wedding day.
00:03:13What you need to do is lower the profile, taper the band, and then add some micro-pave to balance the center.
00:03:23Then you have a design that's elegant and practical.
00:03:29Dean, are you going to let her just do this?
00:03:31She's right.
00:03:32The proportions were off.
00:03:35The setting would have caused many problems.
00:03:37Sylvia, I'm putting you in charge of our next major client presentation.
00:03:42Who's the client?
00:03:42The Morrison Gem Exhibition.
00:03:46They specifically requested for innovative design.
00:03:49But, Dean, that's supposed to be your project.
00:03:52Christine, we need fresh ideas.
00:03:56Presentation's next week.
00:03:59You think you can handle it?
00:04:00I don't think.
00:04:04I know.
00:04:11At Sterling Designs, we care about catering to the bride's every need and making sure that she feels beautiful and special on her big day.
00:04:17Exactly.
00:04:18A wedding is the bride's most important day, and no one wants it ruined.
00:04:23Yeah.
00:04:24Right, so let's talk about the design.
00:04:28I'm thinking something unique.
00:04:30Maybe both of our names engraved on the rings?
00:04:34Okay, we can do that, for sure.
00:04:36What is your fiancé's name?
00:04:37Dean.
00:04:40Dean Martinez.
00:04:44You're engaged to Dean?
00:04:45Mm-hmm.
00:04:46I didn't know that.
00:04:48Yeah, I know he's the boss here, but maybe we can keep this between me and you?
00:04:52We don't want things to get too over the top.
00:04:56When is the wedding?
00:04:57Next month.
00:04:58And we are both so looking forward to it.
00:05:02So that's why he left me.
00:05:03For another woman.
00:05:05Dean is engaged.
00:05:07That's his secret.
00:05:08I was fooled by him all this time.
00:05:10He's going to get married.
00:05:12How can he say he loves me?
00:05:14How can he be such a liar?
00:05:15Oh, oh.
00:05:16I'm so sorry.
00:05:17Are you okay?
00:05:19Um, what's your name?
00:05:21I'm Michael.
00:05:22Michael?
00:05:23Who are you here with?
00:05:24Where, um, where are your parents?
00:05:27Michael.
00:05:28Thank God you're here.
00:05:29Dad.
00:05:32Dad?
00:05:35When, when did you have a child?
00:05:39Is Michael you and Pauline's?
00:05:42How did you find out of Aveline?
00:05:44Just answer the question.
00:05:45Look, it's very complicated, Sylvia.
00:05:47You never told me that you had a kid.
00:05:50You lied to me.
00:05:53Sylvia, please don't go.
00:05:54Mom.
00:06:03Sylvia.
00:06:04Today's the Morrison presentation.
00:06:08I, um, just wanted to let you know that you got this.
00:06:14Now if you'll excuse me.
00:06:18You don't have to shut me out, you know?
00:06:20Um, that's exactly what I have to do.
00:06:32Dave.
00:06:33How dare she treat you like that?
00:06:35You clean up well.
00:06:47Almost like you belong here.
00:06:49Still bitter I got the project, Christine?
00:06:51Bitter?
00:06:51No.
00:06:54But you should watch your attitude towards Dean.
00:06:56That's between me and him.
00:07:00Oops.
00:07:02Let me get that for you.
00:07:15If you're done here, I've got work that speaks for itself.
00:07:21Oh, I'm counting on it.
00:07:36Good morning.
00:07:37My name is Sylvia Wilkins, and today I will be going over the design for the Morrison wedding.
00:07:51Sylvia Wilkins, and I have a little surprise for everyone before we begin.
00:08:14Um, we'll be doing a little detour, and we'll be right back.
00:08:18You guys are going to love it.
00:08:23Hey.
00:08:23Hey.
00:08:36Hey.
00:08:37Don't worry.
00:08:39We'll find them.
00:08:40Okay?
00:08:41Just tell me where you're going to last save the files.
00:08:46In the computer.
00:08:47See, there's nothing there.
00:09:00It's like the files just vanished.
00:09:03Somebody deleted them.
00:09:06We need time to find at home.
00:09:07Maybe it's time that we go back to the beginning.
00:09:21What do you mean?
00:09:22We're so sorry for the delay.
00:09:34We had a bit of a setback, but I'm pretty sure you're going to like this.
00:09:42I'm going to take you all back to where it all began.
00:09:45That's our wedding ring.
00:09:56I designed this ring three years ago.
00:09:59They were meant for all the expectations and happiness before the wedding.
00:10:07I designed it with the intention of representing simplicity and love, to represent a love that
00:10:25wasn't perfect, but it was simple and sincere.
00:10:29It's like I dreamed you up inside my head.
00:10:37I thought the picture perfect love was only in grace.
00:10:48Yes, I pulled you right from the page into reality.
00:10:53Feels like I'm falling deep into your gravity.
00:10:57Feels like I dreamed you up inside my head.
00:11:27Sylvia.
00:11:50Sylvia.
00:11:51Please, we need to talk.
00:11:52No, I didn't mean to bring up the past, okay?
00:11:55I just, that Sketch was the only one that I had.
00:11:59I know.
00:11:59Just open the door.
00:12:01Will you just leave me alone?
00:12:02I thought you were gone.
00:12:26I'm not going anywhere.
00:12:28I'm sorry, Sylvia, for leaving you at the altar, for everything I did.
00:12:34I never meant to hurt you.
00:12:37It's too late for your apologies.
00:12:39I don't want you close to me.
00:12:42I don't even want to see you.
00:12:43Sylvia, if I'll let you go now, I'll go crazy.
00:12:46You can be mad at me, scream at me, but please don't just shut me out.
00:12:50You think that saying all of this makes everything better?
00:12:53That it just erases what you did?
00:12:55No, no, nothing can erase it.
00:12:58But I'm still here.
00:12:59I'm still in love with you, Sylvia.
00:13:02I never stopped.
00:13:03You have any idea how I suffered all these years?
00:13:07How I miss you?
00:13:08I shouldn't feel this way.
00:13:12I shouldn't feel this way.
00:13:38I don't want to see the truth now, when the distance is so loud.
00:13:44I don't want to see your face.
00:13:45I don't want to see the truth now, when the distance is so loud.
00:13:48I don't want to see your face.
00:13:49All my bones know their strength, I'll be brave and trying to wait.
00:14:08What's wrong with me?
00:14:17I'm supposed to rise above Dean, or at least punch him out.
00:14:21Not this.
00:14:23Morning, Sylvia.
00:14:29This night was great, wasn't it?
00:14:31Um, Dean, let's, um, let's not talk about this again.
00:14:38Or bring it up to anyone.
00:14:40What do you mean?
00:14:40I mean, we can't go back to how things were, okay?
00:14:44We have to forget about whatever just happened between us, okay?
00:14:49Do you understand me?
00:14:51Sure.
00:14:52Okay.
00:14:53You have to go.
00:14:54Don't worry, Sylvia.
00:15:09Dean told me everything.
00:15:10We'll find out who stole your project.
00:15:12Oh, I know who did it.
00:15:13Who?
00:15:14I can prove it.
00:15:15Christine, will you hand over my design for the Morrison wedding, please?
00:15:27Are you crazy?
00:15:28I didn't steal anything.
00:15:30You and I were the last people that had contact before I went on to present.
00:15:33I think you know exactly what happened.
00:15:36I don't know what you're talking about.
00:15:38Maybe you weren't careful enough with your memory stick.
00:15:45That's, that's funny.
00:15:47I never mentioned that I had my design saved on a memory stick.
00:15:49Usually designers will hand draw them or save them to a digital file.
00:15:53How did you know that mine was on a stick?
00:15:56Is that true?
00:15:57I've been on this team longer than anyone.
00:16:03And Sylvia's hated me from the start.
00:16:07She wants to frame me because she thinks she's above everyone else.
00:16:13She wasn't even respecting Dean.
00:16:15Like, she thinks she's above everyone else.
00:16:18I don't think I'm above anyone.
00:16:21And I don't just throw out accusations freely.
00:16:24Not without good reason.
00:16:25You already exposed yourself.
00:16:27Christine.
00:16:32Why are you doing this to me?
00:16:35I trust Christine more.
00:16:37To be honest, she's always been nice.
00:16:39She must be lying.
00:16:41Look at her.
00:16:41Enough.
00:16:46Dean, come on, you know.
00:16:48Drop the act.
00:16:50Christine.
00:16:50Catching you off guard isn't proof of guilt.
00:16:59But look at your recent submissions.
00:17:02They're near duplicates of Sylvia's early work.
00:17:05Clear plagiarism.
00:17:07Check her desk.
00:17:08And no, wait, you can't.
00:17:22Now, what else?
00:17:25I, I didn't mean to steal.
00:17:28Well, she wasn't respecting him.
00:17:31I, I did it for you, Dean.
00:17:34Everything that I did was for you.
00:17:37Christine, you're fired.
00:17:41You just used my name to justify betrayal.
00:17:44And with a plagiarism and theft record, no reputable jewelry house will hire you again.
00:17:51Security, get her out of here.
00:17:53Hey, thanks.
00:18:10I didn't expect you to be so decisive.
00:18:13I kind of expected you to go easy on Christine.
00:18:16Kindness only enables people like her.
00:18:19She almost destroyed your career.
00:18:21That's my red line.
00:18:22Well, thanks again.
00:18:27Are you really not going to talk to me still?
00:18:30Dean, I think it's better this way for both of us.
00:18:33If we just keep it about work between us.
00:18:37Then what if it is about work?
00:18:41What?
00:18:42Well, you got your USB back.
00:18:44I wanted to review the design together.
00:18:46Are you being serious right now?
00:18:47I'm serious.
00:18:49It's excellent, but it's not good enough.
00:18:52Not for you.
00:18:57Technically, it's perfect.
00:19:00But that's the problem.
00:19:02It's cold.
00:19:05It's delicate, precise, but there's no joy in it.
00:19:12No romance.
00:19:13It's a ring.
00:19:15It's not a pillow.
00:19:16No, it's a promise.
00:19:18People come to us for love, not just a product.
00:19:22They want to feel something real.
00:19:26Promise?
00:19:27Do you think that I believe in that?
00:19:29I'm sorry if I lost my passion.
00:19:32Who do I have to thank for that, Dean?
00:19:38You can still feel that passion again.
00:19:41You know what?
00:19:42You're right.
00:19:43Yeah, maybe I should go on a date.
00:19:46A date?
00:19:47You said I need more passion.
00:19:48You said I need more passion.
00:19:59Hello.
00:20:00Sylvia Wilkins, designer.
00:20:02Nice to meet you as well.
00:20:04Enjoy the exhibit.
00:20:05Hey, are you Sylvia Wilkins?
00:20:21Your designs are incredible.
00:20:24My name is Jacob.
00:20:25I'm a graduate student in forensic genetics.
00:20:27Nice to meet you.
00:20:28I didn't realize that students studying forensic genetics were interested in...
00:20:34Gems.
00:20:35Yeah, you get the point.
00:20:36I have no idea about any of them, except that they're all expensive.
00:20:41So would you mind telling me a little bit about them?
00:20:45Who the hell is that guy?
00:20:47Absolutely.
00:20:50All of our gems, we actually do mine.
00:20:52We don't believe in lab growing our gems here, so...
00:20:56My thesis is on forensic genetics.
00:21:00Basically, solving mysteries through DNA, which sounds serious,
00:21:02but I'm the type that can turn the darkest crime scenes into stories to make my friends laugh.
00:21:07That's impressive.
00:21:09Well, what about you?
00:21:11How do you usually work?
00:21:11Are you designers surrounded by these beautiful stones all the time?
00:21:15Oh.
00:21:17Well, I work in silence.
00:21:20I design sketches that try and capture love in cold stones and metals,
00:21:26so it's really not that exciting of a job.
00:21:30Well, there's a kind of magic in that, too.
00:21:32Transforming feelings into something tangible.
00:21:35It's like you're telling a story without words.
00:21:37Maybe.
00:21:39Or it's just a business.
00:21:41I don't buy that.
00:21:42You have to believe in what you're creating, otherwise it's just jewelry.
00:21:45Besides, that smile tells me you still believe.
00:21:48So, are you single?
00:21:56So, are you single?
00:22:01Hi.
00:22:02You seem to have a lot of questions,
00:22:03and I happen to be one of the organizers of this event.
00:22:06So, if you have any questions, just ask me.
00:22:10You seem like you need a rest.
00:22:11No.
00:22:11You've been working with him.
00:22:12I'm fine.
00:22:14See your boyfriend?
00:22:15No.
00:22:15Yes, he's not.
00:22:16I was.
00:22:17He's my ex.
00:22:19Uh, dinner plans later?
00:22:20We actually have a lot of meetings that we can't miss.
00:22:24It sounds like your ex is using his power at work to interfere with your personal life.
00:22:29Isn't it getting a little late?
00:22:31You should probably go home since it's a school night.
00:22:34Because students have a little bit more energy,
00:22:36unlike some washed-up corporate has-been.
00:22:40So, any chance I could get your number?
00:22:44Really?
00:22:45That's your move?
00:22:46You got a better one?
00:22:47Oh, wait.
00:22:49You had yours.
00:22:50You blew it.
00:22:52You know nothing about her.
00:22:55Not yet.
00:22:56After dinner's four.
00:22:57Guys, are we really doing this right now?
00:23:00What, are we in kindergarten?
00:23:06Jacob.
00:23:06Jacob.
00:23:11Thanks.
00:23:12Call me.
00:23:13Don't worry.
00:23:15I'll treat her better than her ex.
00:23:29Sylvia.
00:23:29Wait.
00:23:31Look, I know I shouldn't have jumped in.
00:23:33I look pathetic.
00:23:35But seeing you smile at him, I just couldn't stand it, okay?
00:23:40You couldn't stand it?
00:23:44You couldn't stand that?
00:23:46But you could leave me standing alone in front of a hundred guests?
00:23:49If you care so much now, Dean,
00:23:50why didn't you show up on our wedding day?
00:23:53I'm not that weak girl you left behind now.
00:23:59So just tell me the reason.
00:24:00Were you afraid of marriage or did you just not love me enough?
00:24:03No, I wasn't afraid.
00:24:04Then why?
00:24:05Look, I had my reasons.
00:24:07I was falling apart.
00:24:08I just, I can't explain it to you.
00:24:10Still, after all these years, you say that you were falling apart, but that can't be the full story.
00:24:19So just give me the reason.
00:24:20You know, I used to dream every night that you would come back, whisper that you were sorry,
00:24:27that you still love me.
00:24:28But now I'll stop waiting.
00:24:37I don't want your guilt or your memories.
00:24:39I just want the truth.
00:24:40So either you tell me or I'm gone.
00:24:48Sylvia!
00:24:55There's only one truth.
00:24:56I never stop loving you.
00:24:58Do you think that I would believe that?
00:25:01You're a liar, Dean.
00:25:03Please.
00:25:04Don't go.
00:25:05I'll tell you everything.
00:25:11It's because I wasn't worthy of you.
00:25:14I don't understand.
00:25:16We both came from the same place.
00:25:19We both graduated from design schools.
00:25:21We, we had the same dream.
00:25:23We even met at a design competition.
00:25:26Yes.
00:25:26And you defeated me.
00:25:28You stood there with your design.
00:25:30So bold.
00:25:32So impossible.
00:25:35Everyone called it reckless.
00:25:36They also said that it was too risky.
00:25:39You were the only person that stood in front of all of them and defended me.
00:25:42You were the bravest person in the room.
00:25:44You always have been.
00:25:46You always have been.
00:25:48It was never about our dreams or your brilliance.
00:25:53The problem was I made a huge mistake.
00:25:58And while you were rising, brilliant, unstoppable, I was falling apart.
00:26:04And I thought you'd be much better off without me.
00:26:09I never thought that for a second.
00:26:10But if you keep running, I'm not going to keep waiting for you.
00:26:14Someone else is going to come into my life.
00:26:17And I'm going to let them.
00:26:18I'm going to date them.
00:26:19Maybe sleep with them.
00:26:20Who knows?
00:26:21Maybe I'll even marry them.
00:26:22Don't say that.
00:26:30Don't talk about being with another man.
00:26:33You left.
00:26:35You made room in your life for someone else.
00:26:37Just hearing it, it tears me apart.
00:26:41I know I may be selfish, but I can't stand the thought of you being with someone else.
00:26:49I can't breathe when I picture it.
00:26:53I know he's still hiding something.
00:26:55But when he kisses me, I just forget to care.
00:27:11I know he's still hiding something.
00:27:41Hey, if it's urgent, I can wait.
00:28:09I know.
00:28:11I'm sorry, Celia.
00:28:18Dean.
00:28:18I have to go.
00:28:19What's going on?
00:28:23If you walk out now, don't come back.
00:28:29I owe you the truth.
00:28:40Pauline and I dated seven years ago.
00:28:45It was short-lived, and we broke up way before you and I met.
00:28:50After a few years, when we were supposed to get married, she came back.
00:28:58She said she had a three-year-old son and that I was the father.
00:29:06I was shocked, and I didn't believe her until she showed me the attorney test.
00:29:15Look, I'm about to marry somebody I truly love.
00:29:21I'll support Michael in every way I can, but I won't marry you.
00:29:26You think this is about money, Dean?
00:29:27You think this is about money, Dean?
00:29:30Your son has early signs of autism.
00:29:32What?
00:29:33What?
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:35He eats by himself, he talks to himself, he's a total freak.
00:29:39You want to know why, Dean?
00:29:41Because he's never had a father.
00:29:43So don't expect to have a family with anyone else.
00:29:49You're stuck with me.
00:29:53I later realized that Michael's autism, it was purely because of Pauline's neglect.
00:29:59After three years with me, he talks, he plays, he laughs.
00:30:03Oh, my God.
00:30:05I'm telling the truth, Sylvia.
00:30:07Really.
00:30:09I just don't know what to believe anymore.
00:30:15The one thing you can believe is that I didn't leave our wedding because I didn't love you.
00:30:20I left because I thought I had to take responsibility.
00:30:25So then, what about Pauline?
00:30:28What happened?
00:30:29She just dropped Michael off and vanished.
00:30:31Didn't hear from her until recently.
00:30:33What kind of mother does that?
00:30:35Exactly.
00:30:37I've raised him alone.
00:30:39And those years were so joyful because of my goal.
00:30:45But also...
00:30:46But what?
00:30:47Extremely unbearable.
00:30:50Because I thought I lost you forever.
00:30:52And then you showed up at Sterling.
00:30:55It felt like a second chance.
00:30:57It felt like a second chance.
00:30:59But it's too late now, isn't it?
00:31:03Because you're going to marry Pauline anyway.
00:31:05I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I had to take care of Michael.
00:31:11I had to be a father.
00:31:13So, you're going to marry Pauline and live a lie just to be under the illusion of having a perfect life?
00:31:23I know I sound pathetic.
00:31:25But I thought I lost you.
00:31:27And then you came back and I started dreaming again.
00:31:31You don't get to dream with me.
00:31:33You don't get to dream with me.
00:31:35I spent years burying that day.
00:31:39Trying to forget about the ring, the flowers, the empty aisle.
00:31:43Sylvia.
00:31:44Just tell Michael the truth one day.
00:31:53Goodbye, Dean.
00:32:14You're home.
00:32:15I missed you.
00:32:17Where's Michael?
00:32:19Oh, I was thinking about hiring a nanny for Michael since we're doing so well financially.
00:32:27Why not?
00:32:28Someone to watch Michael while we spend more time together.
00:32:31You came back and instead of building something with him, you got a nanny to do your job?
00:32:37Dean, I just want to spend more time with you.
00:32:39If you want to spend time with anyone, just spend it with Michael.
00:32:43You're such a fool, Dean.
00:32:47Michael isn't even your son.
00:32:49You've been raising a child that isn't yours all these years.
00:32:54But you've got more than I ever imagined.
00:32:56That's why letting you go isn't an option.
00:33:00Dean, just stop working.
00:33:03I can give you a massage.
00:33:04No, no, thanks.
00:33:10I saw your designer today.
00:33:12What's your name?
00:33:14Sylvia Wilkins?
00:33:18What?
00:33:20What were you doing at Sterling?
00:33:22I was designing our wedding rings, of course.
00:33:24I asked Wilkins to handle it.
00:33:26Are you out of your mind?
00:33:27I'll handle the design, okay?
00:33:29You leave Sylvia out of this.
00:33:31It's because of her, isn't it?
00:33:33Don't worry.
00:33:35She seems nice enough.
00:33:37I'll befriend her.
00:33:38I'll befriend her.
00:33:50My dress has to match my ring perfectly.
00:33:52You're coming with me to pick it out.
00:33:53I have work to do.
00:33:55I can't just drop everything.
00:33:56Refuse.
00:33:57And I'll file a formal complaint with HR.
00:34:00Unprofessional conduct.
00:34:01Conflict of interest being Dean's ex.
00:34:05You'll lose the lead on this project.
00:34:08Fine.
00:34:09I'll go with you.
00:34:10Just wait, Dean.
00:34:11She'll never stand between us.
00:34:23You know, Dean told me everything that happened between you two.
00:34:27I felt so sorry that he left you to be with me.
00:34:30Wait, Dean told you that?
00:34:31Of course.
00:34:33He told me everything.
00:34:35I wouldn't worry about it too much, though.
00:34:37He said he never forgot about me.
00:34:39Even when he was with you.
00:34:41Miss Miller, I don't need to know the details of your entire love story to design your green.
00:34:45Really?
00:34:47Isn't that what designers do?
00:34:51Funny how some things never change.
00:34:55You're still just the help.
00:34:57Don't worry, darling.
00:34:58Soon you won't even be in the picture.
00:35:07No.
00:35:12No, Sylvia.
00:35:13Honestly, are you even trying?
00:35:14This looks like something off a discount catalog.
00:35:17All of our designs are original.
00:35:19You just asked for options?
00:35:20Options, yes.
00:35:22Not mediocrity.
00:35:24This design was based after ancient filigree.
00:35:27It's really interesting.
00:35:28Shut up!
00:35:29Honestly, you make me wonder.
00:35:31I mean, it's no secret you have a talent for making men pity you.
00:35:35Is that how you got this job?
00:35:36Say that again and I swear-
00:35:37What?
00:35:39No, you can't, sweetie.
00:35:40I know everything that happened between you and Dean.
00:35:42What are you talking about?
00:35:43Dean and I are cheating.
00:35:45What do you think your clients?
00:35:47Loving couples, no less.
00:35:49But think about their designer being a homewrecker.
00:35:52I doubt anyone would trust you to design their wedding ring.
00:35:55How dare you call me a homewrecker?
00:35:58Dean and I met long after you two broke up.
00:36:00Doesn't matter.
00:36:02No one's going to believe you.
00:36:04Him and I are to get married.
00:36:06He'll be by my side and you'll be alone.
00:36:09I'll design your ring.
00:36:11Just don't be too sure you can keep it.
00:36:16Oh, I'm sure.
00:36:23So, with everything that you have told me about your vision for your big day,
00:36:27I have considered that that might be a good pairing for you.
00:36:32What about that one?
00:36:34The one from your little exhibition?
00:36:36Seems familiar, doesn't it?
00:36:37Wait, you want...
00:36:39You want that one?
00:36:41It's a bit tacky, but...
00:36:43It'll do.
00:36:44Sorry, that one is for...
00:36:46For you and Dean's wedding?
00:36:48Yes.
00:36:49Well, that wedding's over.
00:36:50So, don't you think it belongs to the real bride now?
00:36:53I wonder what Dean will say.
00:36:55Pauline, that ring looks so much better on you.
00:36:57Or, you're the one that really deserves it.
00:37:00Can't you just, like, pick another one?
00:37:02Oh, darling, I can't.
00:37:04Then, you're not using it anyway.
00:37:06So, why not make it easy and you bring us that ring as your little gift to us?
00:37:11I'll never let you have it.
00:37:14Not as long as I'm alive.
00:37:17You really think you have a choice?
00:37:20Sylvia, you're just the ex that he left at the altar for me.
00:37:26Dean chose me.
00:37:28Dean cares about me more than he ever cared about you.
00:37:31Dean is a man of responsibility.
00:37:33The only reason he's marrying you is because of Michael, not for love.
00:37:36You?
00:37:39You're neither a good wife nor a good mother.
00:37:42I pity the life that you two will build together.
00:37:47What are you doing, Pauline?
00:37:49Dean, I'm your fiancé.
00:37:52How can you side with your ex over me?
00:37:54Sylvia's my designer now.
00:37:56No one, no one is allowed to hurt her.
00:38:00Not while I'm here.
00:38:06Dean, help me pick out the perfect dress.
00:38:10We have a wedding to plan.
00:38:12Would you just let me know what you decide when you figure it out?
00:38:15I have other stuff to do.
00:38:23You really are something, Dean.
00:38:26We're about to get married and you're still thinking about another woman?
00:38:29I told you, I'll give you what you want.
00:38:35Money, the name, but you need to be a real mother to Michael.
00:38:40That's our deal.
00:38:42And I'll stay loyal to the marriage.
00:38:45But don't ask for more.
00:38:47Fine.
00:38:50Now let's get back to the dresses.
00:38:59This wedding is happening and no one, especially her, is going to ruin it.
00:39:05Find that woman.
00:39:07Sylvia Wilkins.
00:39:10Teach her a lesson.
00:39:12Some things aren't hers to touch.
00:39:29Sylvia, about Pauline's wedding ring project, I reassigned it to someone else.
00:39:37You don't have to do that anymore.
00:39:39Understood.
00:39:42Sylvia, I-
00:39:43Dean?
00:39:44We talked about this.
00:39:45You're the boss, I'm the employee.
00:39:47It's better for both of us if we just keep it that way, okay?
00:39:50You're right.
00:39:53Get home safe.
00:39:59All right.
00:40:23You're right.
00:40:25The house is too sweet atop.
00:40:27Go!
00:40:57Where do you think you are going, sweetheart?
00:41:04I don't know you.
00:41:07I don't know you.
00:41:08Please, just don't touch me.
00:41:10Just don't touch me.
00:41:11Calm down.
00:41:12Calm down.
00:41:13Let us remind you.
00:41:16Huh?
00:41:18You owe somebody.
00:41:20It's very important.
00:41:22And we're just here to...
00:41:25Remind you.
00:41:27This is about my debt.
00:41:29I don't know who said you,
00:41:31but I swear I'm working on it, okay?
00:41:34It's not about the money.
00:41:37You pissed the person off.
00:41:43Marlene?
00:41:55Get in.
00:41:59Come on.
00:42:10Sylvia, are you okay?
00:42:11Don't!
00:42:12You don't get to care about me anymore, okay?
00:42:14You're marrying Pauline.
00:42:15You don't get to care about me.
00:42:17Even if I'm marrying her, I can't ignore your safety.
00:42:21You know what they said?
00:42:23They said...
00:42:25They told me you messed with the wrong person.
00:42:29They didn't say her name,
00:42:31but I know that they were talking about Pauline.
00:42:35Forget I said anything, though.
00:42:37She's the mother of your child.
00:42:38She doesn't get a free pass for that.
00:42:40And no one gets to hurt you.
00:42:42No while I'm still breathing.
00:42:44You're home late.
00:42:51Don't tell me you were with your little designer again.
00:42:58Pauline?
00:42:59Do you have connections with people who do dirty work?
00:43:03What's going on?
00:43:04You think I'd do something criminal?
00:43:06Sylvia was nearly attacked tonight.
00:43:08Dean, come on.
00:43:09You think I hired criminals to attack her?
00:43:12What kind of woman do you think I am?
00:43:14How can you say that?
00:43:15I'm your fiancé.
00:43:16Then prove it.
00:43:18This marriage only happens if Sylvia's never touched.
00:43:22One incident, just one.
00:43:24And the deal's off.
00:43:26No money, no wedding, nothing.
00:43:31Sweetie, come on.
00:43:32Sweetie, come on.
00:43:33Sweetie, come on.
00:43:34Sweetie, come on.
00:43:35Sweetie, come on.
00:43:36Sweetie, come on.
00:43:40Okay, of course.
00:43:41We'll protect your designer.
00:43:43I have nothing to hide.
00:43:45Sweetie, come on.
00:43:48You think this scares me?
00:43:50You just handed me a clock, Dean,

00:49:00But, um, I'm not ready to quit.
00:49:03I'll just rebuild from the wreckage.
00:49:05Like I always do.
00:49:06I'm not ready to quit.
00:49:12I'm not ready to quit.
00:49:12I'm not ready to quit.
00:49:13Pauline, if this is true, then she didn't just try to hurt Sylvia if she wanted to destroy her.
00:49:32Why are you on my laptop?
00:49:47You don't eat this.
00:49:49You did this to her?
00:49:51Dean, that's not true.
00:49:52And what am I supposed to believe in?
00:49:54I was desperate.
00:49:56You were slipping away.
00:49:57Every time you looked at Sylvia, I saw it.
00:50:00I just wanted her gone.
00:50:03Stop lying, Pauline.
00:50:06You never loved me.
00:50:07You just loved the brand.
00:50:09The name.
00:50:10The lifestyle.
00:50:12If it weren't for Michael, I would have never agreed to this marriage.
00:50:15I didn't want to hurt her.
00:50:17I just wanted her out of our lives.
00:50:19You wanted to ruin her.
00:50:21You're going to clear her name publicly.
00:50:24You're going to tell them everything you did.
00:50:26Or you walk away with nothing.
00:50:29No marriage, no money.
00:50:37They printed a retraction.
00:50:39Full page.
00:50:40Called the article slander.
00:50:42You're cleared.
00:50:43I don't understand what changed their minds.
00:50:47It just feels like a miracle.
00:50:50Well, sometimes miracles do happen.
00:50:52People are still cautious.
00:50:54But the truth's out now.
00:50:56They're listening again.
00:50:58Prove your ability to them.
00:51:05Tonight, we unveil a new line designed by...
00:51:09Sylvia Wilkins.
00:51:13Sylvia Wilkins.
00:51:25Wow.
00:51:27Thank you so much.
00:51:29Um, I was...
00:51:32Crushed.
00:51:36Humiliated.
00:51:37But I didn't hide this time.
00:51:39I chose to get up.
00:51:41And I designed my way out.
00:51:46Thank you so much to all of you for being here.
00:51:48And to everyone that still supports me today.
00:51:50It means the world to me.
00:51:51Miss Wilkins, we are so sorry.
00:52:13We owe you a huge apology.
00:52:14Dean Martinez, your boss.
00:52:17He fought like hell to clear your name.
00:52:20He even threatened to sue half of the press corps.
00:52:23What?
00:52:26Dean did all that for me?
00:52:29Ladies and gents, may I have your attention, please?
00:52:36I want to thank you all for being here tonight.
00:52:39I have one final announcement to make.
00:52:40I will be officially stepping down from my position as director of Sterling Designs.
00:52:48And effective immediately, I'm appointing our new creative lead.
00:52:52Someone whose work speaks for itself.
00:52:55And whose integrity speaks even louder.
00:52:59Sylvia Wilkins.
00:53:06This was never about sacrifice.
00:53:10He left again.
00:53:34After doing everything for me.
00:53:36Mrs. Wilkins.
00:53:48Detective Parker, I decided to bring these to you personally.
00:53:51These documents clearly show Pauline orchestrated the smear campaign.
00:53:58She's the one behind it all.
00:54:01Wait, what is this?
00:54:03That's some leftover evidence in her apartment.
00:54:06We're not sure what it's related to.
00:54:08But if it's useful, you're more than welcome to take it.
00:54:14Good luck.
00:54:20Wait, isn't this lab right next to Jacobs University?
00:54:24You said the lab name is Sylvia.
00:54:35Sylvia, that clinic doesn't even do DNA paternity testing.
00:54:37And we have no record of a request under Dean's name.
00:54:41Okay, so what does that mean?
00:54:43It means the documents are fake.
00:54:44It was all a lie.
00:54:50I have to find him.
00:54:51Before it's too late.
00:54:58I heard you quit your job and handed everything over to Sylvia.
00:55:01What a ridiculous rumor.
00:55:03It's true.
00:55:05You quit?
00:55:06Are you insane?
00:55:07Nothing's changed.
00:55:13We're still getting married.
00:55:14Bullshit.
00:55:15Without your job, without your salary, you mean nothing to me.
00:55:19How dare you just quit?
00:55:20I made my own decision.
00:55:22And I made mine too.
00:55:24We are not getting married.
00:55:26And you will provide financial support for me and Michael for the rest of our lives.
00:55:30Dean.
00:55:35This DNA test.
00:55:36Look, it's fake.
00:55:39Michael isn't your son.
00:55:40Of course Michael's his son.
00:55:42Stop lying through your teeth just to drag him back.
00:55:45Don't listen to Dean.
00:55:46I went there and I checked.
00:55:48That lab doesn't even do paternity tests.
00:55:51That document is fake.
00:55:54Michael isn't my son.
00:55:58Whoa, hey.
00:56:00Hey.
00:56:01Are you okay?
00:56:06Hey.
00:56:12Dean.
00:56:16What happened?
00:56:19You're okay.
00:56:21Everything's over.
00:56:22What?
00:56:22Pauline's ex.
00:56:24He's, um...
00:56:25He's a criminal.
00:56:27He's in jail now.
00:56:28But he's, um...
00:56:29Michael's his son.
00:56:31Pauline ran away.
00:56:33She...
00:56:34She used Michael to trap me.
00:56:37Wait.
00:56:37So...
00:56:38So where is Pauline?
00:56:42I have enough evidence to put her behind bars.
00:56:46She didn't even take Michael with her.
00:56:50To her, he means nothing.
00:56:52So, um...
00:56:54Does this mean that you're single again?
00:56:58I...
00:56:59I guess.
00:57:00But right now I'm trying to be what Michael needs.
00:57:04That's all that matters.
00:57:06You're not gonna try and find a good mother for him?
00:57:10Right now there's no room for anyone else.
00:57:15Only you.
00:57:15But I figured you'd...
00:57:17Never want me again.
00:57:19Why do you always have to carry everything alone?
00:57:22You cleared my name.
00:57:24You quit your job for me.
00:57:27Because I love you.
00:57:29I don't need a reason to protect you.
00:57:32I just don't want to drag you into my mess.
00:57:35You're such a fool.
00:57:36You're such a fool.
00:57:45Well, hey.
00:57:50Hmm?
00:57:50Sylvia, you...
00:57:51You're burning up.
00:57:53I guess I'm biting more than just lies.
00:58:06Jacob helped you with the DNA test?
00:58:08Yeah, he, um...
00:58:10He helped me with the investigation.
00:58:13He's a nice guy.
00:58:14Yeah, he is.
00:58:16I guess he's not the right person for you.
00:58:19You guys barely dated.
00:58:21Come on.
00:58:23Jacob and I are just friends.
00:58:26Plus, I never got jealous of Pauline.
00:58:30Yeah, I was reckless with her once.
00:58:33Quickly realized she's not the one.
00:58:36You are the only woman I've ever really loved.
00:58:44She's not the only man I've ever died.
00:58:51Peace out.
00:58:57She's not the one.
00:59:00Nothing.
00:59:01hey i'm doing a lot better actually can i go back to work calm down workaholic
