Short filmTranscript
00:00:00August, you've been in here for hours, maybe it's time for a little break.
00:00:20Charlotte, stop.
00:00:23Just once, let's try it, please August, I won't let you down, I promise.
00:00:29It's been two years, August, and you haven't even touched me, not once.
00:00:40What do I have to do?
00:00:42Beg?
00:00:43Believe?
00:00:45Go.
00:00:47Blake, I'm done, okay?
00:00:50I want to divorce him.
00:00:52Finally you get it, baby sis.
00:00:54Come to Paris, I have ten hot guys lined up for you.
00:00:57Let your husband rot alone with his work.
00:01:00Tessa.
00:01:01Tessa Whitmore?
00:01:02His own stepsister?
00:01:03Tessa.
00:01:04Tessa, I love you.
00:01:05Tessa, I love you.
00:01:06Tessa, I love you.
00:01:07Tessa, I love you.
00:01:08Tessa.
00:01:09Tessa.
00:01:10Tessa.
00:01:11Tessa Whitmore?
00:01:12His own stepsister?
00:01:14Tessa, I love you.
00:01:16Tessa, I love you, love.
00:01:17Tessa.
00:01:18Tessa, I love you.
00:01:30His own stepsister?
00:01:32Tessa, I love you.
00:01:34Six years. I kept telling myself maybe he just wasn't into sex.
00:01:38But the truth? He just wasn't into me, but into his stepsister, Tessa.
00:01:49She tried again, didn't she?
00:01:51Of course. Mr. Whitmore doesn't need women. There's no way she can seduce him.
00:01:56It's embarrassing.
00:02:00They're not wrong.
00:02:10I've humiliated myself.
00:02:13Oh my god. Is that August Whitmore?
00:02:17I have to meet him.
00:02:19Charlie, you can flirt with anyone in this room, just not him.
00:02:22Why not?
00:02:23Well, wealthy heirs like us love fancy lives, but this guy, he's allergic to women.
00:02:29He doesn't date, he doesn't flirt. He's like a monk in the Tom Ford suit.
00:02:34Well, maybe I can be the one to break the spell?
00:02:38I thought that night I'd finally broken through.
00:02:48The woman he's always loved is his stepsister.
00:02:51August, do you like what you see?
00:03:04Can you stop wearing my shirts without asking? I'll buy you your own, okay?
00:03:10What?
00:03:11August, we've been together for four years. Four years of waiting and trying.
00:03:20What do I have to do to make you touch me?
00:03:23Marry me.
00:03:24What?
00:03:25Let's get married.
00:03:26Yes.
00:03:27Yes.
00:03:28Yes.
00:03:29I was a distraction.
00:03:30He married me to cage his own desire, to hide from the woman he truly wanted.
00:03:43Seven more days and I'll be gone. Off to Paris, far from him. And all of this chaos.
00:03:56Who are you right now? You haven't stepped foot in here since marrying August.
00:04:12I know, but tonight, okay, who cares? We're partying!
00:04:16Sean?
00:04:17Um, yes.
00:04:18Yes!
00:04:19Yes!
00:04:20Okay!
00:04:21Let's go!
00:04:22Mm-hmm.
00:04:23Cheers.
00:04:24Cheers!
00:04:28Woo!
00:04:29Oh my god!
00:04:30Hi, excuse me. Can you send the hottest guy that you have over here, please?
00:04:39Hi!
00:04:42Not bad.
00:04:44Charlotte, what are you doing?
00:04:45What if August sees you?
00:04:46He never comes here.
00:04:47Doesn't matter.
00:04:51He's here tonight.
00:04:53Back booth.
00:04:55He's been watching you the whole time and he looks angry.
00:04:58Is he jealous?
00:05:00For me?
00:05:01Dude, your wife is out there dry-humping the male model.
00:05:04If that was me, I'd be flipping tables.
00:05:06Charlotte knows her to draw the line.
00:05:08She won't cross it.
00:05:09She's crossing his abs right now.
00:05:11You really don't give a damn, do you?
00:05:12Is there any woman on the planet who could get under your skin?
00:05:16Excuse me.
00:05:19Hey.
00:05:21Calm down.
00:05:22Wait!
00:05:23He's coming.
00:05:24I've never seen him look like that before.
00:05:26You made him jealous, Charlotte.
00:05:27I can't believe he's actually coming over here.
00:05:30August.
00:05:31I can't believe he didn't even look at me.
00:05:49August, what are you doing?
00:05:52He was jealous.
00:05:54But not for me.
00:05:55August, what are you doing here?
00:05:59Who said he didn't come here?
00:06:00And why are you giving your number out to random guys?
00:06:02Haven't you said you're done with me?
00:06:04Don't act like you still care.
00:06:09Who said I don't?
00:06:11You did.
00:06:12You barely talked to me for a week.
00:06:14You used to treat me like I mattered and now it's like you're avoiding me.
00:06:18What happened?
00:06:23Because.
00:06:25Say it.
00:06:27Say it's because you want her.
00:06:29I'm married now.
00:06:30Things can't be the way they were.
00:06:32I can't chase you around all day.
00:06:34Liar.
00:06:36You didn't stop loving her.
00:06:38You just stopped pretending not to.
00:06:40So was Charlotte.
00:06:42We weren't in the picture.
00:06:43We could go back.
00:06:45Just you and me.
00:06:48You bitch!
00:06:50You ruined everything!
00:07:03You ruined everything!
00:07:04You ruined everything!
00:07:17Oh my god!
00:07:18Oh my god!
00:07:19Charlotte!
00:07:20No!
00:07:21No!
00:07:22No!
00:07:24No!
00:07:25No!
00:07:26No!
00:07:27No!
00:07:28No!
00:07:29No!
00:07:30No!
00:07:31No!
00:07:32No!
00:07:33No!
00:07:35No!
00:07:36No!
00:07:37No!
00:07:38No!
00:07:40You're awake.
00:07:41You had over 30 stitches.
00:07:43You were lucky someone brought you in in time.
00:07:45You almost died.
00:07:46died. Where is he? Oh, you mean your friend Lindsay. She stayed by your side all night.
00:07:52She just stepped out. Of course it wasn't him. What was I expecting? I cut myself when I smashed that bottle
00:08:06it hurts hockey. There. I better know. You're the best big brother in the world. Blake, I want you to get me a lawyer. There was assault with intent. I'm pressing charges.
00:08:36You're pressing assault charges against Tessa? She cracked my head. What she did is enough to send her to prison. Tessa is still young. Okay, she still lets her emotions take over. I've already punished her. Punished how? I grounded her. No leaving the house for a day. Let's not drag this out. She cracked my head. I have 30 stitches. Permanent scarring.
00:09:06And you think that punishing her for a day? You're just trying to protect her. From me. I'm trying to do this the right way. No. You're just trying to make sure I don't give her what she deserves.
00:09:16Save your energy. I've already pulled your complaint. No lawyer in this town is going to take your case with me around.
00:09:23What a great brother you are. Great enough to make Tessa look like your wife.
00:09:27Stop twisting things, Charlotte. Tessa is just my stepsister. That's all. Look, I know you're hurt, so I'll stay here and help you recover. Consider it my way of making amends.
00:09:44Satisfied now?
00:09:47Good.
00:09:47When you're discharged, I'll get you a gift for compensation.
00:09:54In his eyes, offering to take care of me is some kind of royal favor. Six more days. Once my basic clears, this nightmare ends.
00:10:07August!
00:10:09Why is she back?
00:10:12Tessa, what did you promise me?
00:10:14I'm sorry, Charlotte. I lost my temper the other day. It's just, ever since you married August, I...
00:10:20I can't help but feel like you stole him from me.
00:10:24I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
00:10:26It's not your fault. I'll fix things for you. I promise.
00:10:32Tessa's gonna be staying with us for a few days.
00:10:35Trying it along, right? I'll help you settle it first.
00:10:38August! Will you cook with me now?
00:10:42Sure.
00:10:44Go ahead and head upstairs.
00:10:47Oh, and don't burn anything this time, like those Christmas cookies.
00:10:51That's right.
00:10:54This is the first time I've seen him smile like that.
00:10:58At home.
00:11:06Tessa, it's cool.
00:11:07Go sleep in your room.
00:11:08I don't want to go to the stairs. I miss you so much.
00:11:13August, don't leave me.
00:11:39Now I have you.
00:11:40No matter how I tried to touch him, he never once gave in.
00:12:05But tonight, one sleep talking from Tessa, and he completely lost control.
00:12:11If he wants to love his sister, you let him.
00:12:15I'm done playing a loyal wife.
00:12:16August, I'll start my own life.
00:12:18August, I think a mosquito bit my lip last night. Look, it's all swollen.
00:12:26I'll have the maid get you some women.
00:12:30I promise I'll get you something after the hospital.
00:12:36This hair clip, it matches your hair.
00:12:39Wow.
00:12:40I never knew you could be so sweet to your wife.
00:12:42It's just his compensation.
00:12:46Thanks.
00:12:47Oh, my God.
00:13:17No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:13:24No.
00:13:27My hair.
00:13:31You cut my hair?
00:13:37Yep.
00:13:38I need material for an art project, so I thought I'd make a wig.
00:13:42And yours is the best.
00:13:44It's so shiny.
00:13:46You hit me?
00:13:53My own brother wouldn't even lay a hand on me and you think you can?
00:13:57Hold her down.
00:13:59I am August's wife.
00:14:01If you touch me, you will regret it.
00:14:04Ah!
00:14:05You're August maid, so tell me.
00:14:06Who does even love me?
00:14:08Or her?
00:14:11Hey!
00:14:15That's it.
00:14:16You already know who runs this house.
00:14:18I'm glad you're finally catching up.
00:14:21What the hell are you looking at?
00:14:26Do you really think August is gonna let you get away with this?
00:14:36Oh, please.
00:14:37Oh, please.
00:14:38August has let me get away with everything my entire life.
00:14:41Even if I were to beat his wife dead today.
00:14:45And just remember, I'm the one he cares about, not you.
00:14:49So now, I'll make sure you never forget that.
00:14:5929.
00:15:0030.
00:15:0139.
00:15:0261.
00:15:03No!
00:15:04How many was that?
00:15:0599.
00:15:0699.
00:15:07Oh no.
00:15:08Let's make it a clean hundred.
00:15:10Okay.
00:15:11Oh.
00:15:12Oh.
00:15:13Oh.
00:15:14Oh.
00:15:15Oh.
00:15:16Oh.

00:15:36Oh.
00:15:37Oh.
00:15:38Oh.
00:15:39Oh.
00:15:40Oh.

00:15:46Oh.
00:15:47Oh.
00:15:48Oh.
00:15:49Oh.
00:15:50Oh.
00:15:51Oh.
00:15:52Oh.
00:15:53Oh.
00:15:54Oh.
00:15:55Oh.
00:15:56Oh.
00:15:57Oh.
00:15:58Oh.
00:15:59Oh.
00:16:00Oh.
00:16:01I already punished her.
00:16:03I wonder what that punishment looks like.
00:16:06She cut your hair, so she cut a lock of her own, too.
00:16:10To say she's sorry.
00:16:12She slapped me a hundred times.
00:16:15I was unconscious.
00:16:18You don't actually think that that makes us even, do you?
00:16:21Her hand is swollen from hitting you.
00:16:22She suffered, too.
00:16:24Oh, my God.
00:16:25I was an idiot forever falling in love with you.
00:16:31Get out!
00:16:35Can you calm down?
00:16:36I brought her here to apologize.
00:16:39Come in.
00:16:44Sorry, Charlotte.
00:16:45I was a little out of line.
00:16:50August, she's scaring me.
00:16:51Please don't let her hurt me.
00:16:53Don't worry.
00:16:54No one's going to hurt you.
00:16:55Not while I'm here.
00:16:56Both of you.
00:16:58Just get out.
00:16:59Now.
00:16:59Look, I know you're angry, but the doctor said you need to rest.
00:17:03And just take some time to relax.
00:17:04I said get out!
00:17:08What is this?
00:17:15Sweetheart, your visa's approved.
00:17:18Someone offered to pick you up in Paris anytime.
00:17:26Who?
00:17:27Let's just say, a much better person than that heartless husband of yours.
00:17:33We'll see you in Paris, we are.
00:17:46Once I get that visa, I am never setting foot in this place again.
00:17:49Let go of me.
00:17:51Let go of me!
00:17:54Let go!
00:17:55Let go!
00:17:58While look who's awake.
00:18:08Who the hell are you?
00:18:16Let me go.
00:18:17My brother will kill you for this.
00:18:23You know what that is strapped to you, princess?
00:18:25That's a bomb.
00:18:28The Whitmores ruined my life, and now August is going to watch the two women he loves get blown to bits.
00:18:38Oh, please, somebody help us, please!
00:18:41Tessa, just stop crying, okay?
00:18:43If we want to get out of here, we have to figure this out.
00:18:46Don't yell at me, okay?
00:18:47I'm scared!
00:18:49August!
00:18:50August, please!
00:18:53August!
00:18:54August, help me, please.
00:18:56I know how to disassemble this.
00:18:59Free me first, and we can save Tessa together.
00:19:01There is still time.
00:19:02No, no, August, please save me, please.
00:19:06I'm going to get her first, and then I'll come back for you.
00:19:08He chose her again, and what's worse, it doesn't even hurt anymore.
00:19:22August, no, please, please.
00:19:24I'm scared, please.
00:19:26Please.
00:19:28Please.
00:19:29Please.
00:19:31I'm scared.
00:19:32I love you.
00:19:36Please.
00:19:37Please.
00:19:37Just take her and go.
00:19:39From now on, my life has nothing to do with you anymore.
00:19:42If you don't love me, someone else will.
00:19:45Oh, yes, no.
00:19:46No, no, please.
00:19:47Please, it's going to blow you.
00:19:47Oh, you need to help me.
00:19:48What?
00:19:49That was close, but luckily she managed to throw the bomb away
00:20:18in the last few seconds.
00:20:20Thank you, doctor.
00:20:32Don't move. Don't move.
00:20:34Same. Fake concern.
00:20:36No matter what you do, I will never forgive you.
00:20:39You just had a skin graft done for Tessa.
00:20:41You need to rest.
00:20:42What did you just say?
00:20:48I gave Tessa a skin graft?
00:20:52Tessa's arm was burnt, and she didn't want a scar.
00:20:55And your skin matched her the best, so they used it for the transplant.
00:20:59You didn't even ask me? You just took it?
00:21:02She's your princess, and what am I? Just trash on your shoes?
00:21:06I'll make it up to you.
00:21:07You've always wanted to sleep with me, haven't you?
00:21:09When you're discharged, I'll give you that.
00:21:15Save it. You're disgusting.
00:21:17Blame me all you want.
00:21:18I'll leave on a business trip tomorrow, but I keep my promises.
00:21:21When I get back, I'll follow through.
00:21:38I was such an idiot.
00:21:39I knew this ring never fit, but I wore it anyway.
00:21:47Tessa, meet me in August to study.
00:21:50There's something you'll want to see.
00:21:51What?
00:21:56You better not try anything.
00:22:00Try it.
00:22:08What's your point?
00:22:09You always wondered why August kept his distance from you.
00:22:12It wasn't me.
00:22:13It's because he wanted you.
00:22:14That's insane.
00:22:16I have proof.
00:22:18I have proof.
00:22:22Everyone always thought that August Whitmore, the stoic celibate, the obsessed businessman,
00:22:27had no time for women.
00:22:28But the truth is, he has been locking himself in here for years, jacking off to your photos.
00:22:38The woman that he loved most is the one that he never dared to touch.
00:22:43His stepsister.
00:22:48What a fucking joke.
00:22:51So he really wants me.
00:22:53You remember that night that you fell asleep on the couch?
00:22:56He kissed you for three minutes.
00:22:59And that ring?
00:23:00That was never meant for me.
00:23:02He got that for you.
00:23:03He always wanted to marry you.
00:23:05I want you to give this to your brother.
00:23:11It's a divorce agreement.
00:23:12I have already signed it.
00:23:16Where are you going?
00:23:19Start my new life without him.
00:23:21And Tessa, if you ever lay a finger on me again, I will return it to you a thousand times over.
00:23:35Just landed.
00:23:48Got you something.
00:23:52Of course, Tessa gets the jewelry.
00:23:54I get the freebies.
00:23:58But not anymore.
00:24:00From now on, August.
00:24:02You will never hurt me again.
00:24:05Have your divorce, August.
00:24:09Enjoy your freedom.
00:24:11Then I'll enjoy mine.
00:24:13I'm going far, far away.
00:24:15To a place you'll never find me.
00:24:18And I'll find someone who'll love me for who I am.
00:24:31Wait.
00:24:35She usually replies within seconds, no matter what I send.
00:24:50Morning.
00:24:51Did you eat?
00:24:52It's raining.
00:24:53Don't forget an umbrella.
00:24:55Good night.
00:24:56Sweet dreams.
00:24:57Is she still mad at me?
00:25:12Sir, should we go to Miss Tessa's first or head home?
00:25:15Charlotte.
00:25:16Is she out of the hospital?
00:25:17Yesterday.
00:25:19The doctor says she's recovering well.
00:25:20The number you have dialed is not in service.
00:25:27What kind of game is she playing now?
00:25:31What?
00:25:31She blocked me?
00:25:33Drive home.
00:25:34Now.
00:25:34Why do I feel unsettled?
00:25:40She's never done this before.
00:25:42What the hell is going on?
00:25:42What the hell is going on?
00:25:42What the hell is going on?
00:25:47She used to cuddle up with that blanket every night.
00:26:09Sir, Charlotte's not home.
00:26:24So she ran.
00:26:25Is this another one of her stunts waiting for me to chase her?
00:26:28She's probably hiding out at Lindsay's again.
00:26:30Call her.
00:26:31Tell Charlotte stop being dramatic and come home.
00:26:33Yes, sir.
00:26:33But I think she's really mad this time.
00:26:35What if she doesn't come back?
00:26:36That's impossible.
00:26:37No matter how bad the fight, it's always the same.
00:26:39Three days max.
00:26:40Unless she comes back.
00:26:41Honey.
00:26:42Hey.
00:26:46What the hell is wrong with you, August?
00:26:48Don't expect me to forgive you for this.
00:26:56Can't you just say sorry?
00:26:58And we can get over this?
00:27:00Sorry.
00:27:01Don't be mad at me anymore.
00:27:03Okay.
00:27:07Since you're really sorry, then I forgive you.
00:27:21What are you waiting for?
00:27:22Make the damn call.
00:27:24Yes, sir.
00:27:27Don't bother.
00:27:29She's not coming back.
00:27:33She's not coming back.
00:27:39Charlotte's already divorced you.
00:27:41What do you mean?
00:27:47She left me her wedding ring.
00:27:50Said she's never coming back.
00:27:52Say that again?
00:27:54You're hurting me, August.
00:27:56Tell me exactly what she said.
00:27:58She said you were never in love with her.
00:28:02The only reason you were with her was to bury your feelings for me.
00:28:06What else did she say?
00:28:09You're done here, right?
00:28:10I'll be outside, sir.
00:28:11She said you kissed me while I was asleep.
00:28:21She showed me your study room.
00:28:23All the photos of me behind your medals.
00:28:27She said you jerk off to them every night.
00:28:31And she signed this.
00:28:32She said she hopes we have a happy life together.
00:28:39You could have just told me you wanted me, Augie.
00:28:42I've always wanted you, too.
00:28:46We're not really siblings, so...
00:28:49You can have me now.
00:28:55You can have me now.
00:28:56She knows everything?
00:28:58Yes.
00:28:59She said you only married her so you could forget about your feelings for me.
00:29:04There's no need to pretend now, August.
00:29:06You can do whatever you want with my body now.
00:29:09I'm not going to stop you.
00:29:15Tessa.
00:29:16I brought you some tea.
00:29:25Tessa's due back from her trip soon, isn't she?
00:29:28How would I know?
00:29:30I've been too busy working.
00:29:31I've never had time to think of her.
00:29:33This photo frame is dusty.
00:29:46Where did she go?
00:29:49What are you saying?
00:29:50You were married to her, but you never stopped wanting me.
00:29:53And now that she's gone, all you care about is her?
00:29:57Don't tell me you're actually falling for her.
00:30:03Say it!
00:30:05Do you love her?
00:30:08Tessa, what are you doing?
00:30:10Give that to me.
00:30:10If you really love Charlotte, I'll kill myself.
00:30:13I'd rather die than see you fall for another girl.
00:30:15Tessa, don't do it.
00:30:16Then say it.
00:30:17Say you're mine.
00:30:18Or I'll cut myself.
00:30:22Fine.
00:30:23I'll be with you.
00:30:28You're mine now, August.
00:30:30Finally, you're really mine.
00:30:36Parker.
00:30:37Take this away.
00:30:39Sir.
00:30:40Should I still keep trying to contact Charlotte?
00:30:43Are you deaf?
00:30:43He just said he's done with her.
00:30:45If you dare try calling her, I'll make sure my brother fires you first.
00:30:50This isn't something that you would regret, sir.
00:30:52What did you say?
00:30:54Regret?
00:30:56Stop!
00:30:57Why are you saying that?
00:30:59I should be happy.
00:31:00Tessa's finally mine.
00:31:02But why does it feel like something's missing?
00:31:04This is a rare purse.
00:31:14There's only five of these in the world.
00:31:15Oh, my God.
00:31:16Can you please buy it for me?
00:31:17Of course.
00:31:17Whatever you want.
00:31:18Yay.
00:31:19You're the best.
00:31:20Hi.
00:31:21How can I assist?
00:31:22Not that one.
00:31:23And definitely not that one.
00:31:24But all the others?
00:31:25Wrap them up.
00:31:26Right away.
00:31:27Would you like to see our newest collection?
00:31:29Yes.
00:31:30Awesome.
00:31:30Which one looks better on me?
00:31:40You look stunning than anything.
00:31:42So buy them all if you can't decide.
00:31:44Aki.
00:31:45I love you so much.
00:31:47Eve.
00:31:52What about this one?
00:31:53I don't know.
00:32:00What do you think?
00:32:01Is it too plain?
00:32:03Does it make me look old?
00:32:05It's fine.
00:32:06You look the same in anything.
00:32:08Look, I have work to get done, so I'm leaving.
00:32:14Why is she in my head?
00:32:16I should be happy with Tessa, shouldn't I?
00:32:18You're in a good mood today, sir.
00:32:29She's lively.
00:32:31Being around her, it's easier to breathe.
00:32:32Not like Charlotte.
00:32:33Always so dull.
00:32:35She wasn't always like that.
00:32:36She used to be vibrant.
00:32:39The only reason that Charlotte dulled herself down was to fend to your world.
00:32:42First time I saw Charlotte, she was 20.
00:32:45She was fire, bright, alive.
00:32:48Too bright for me, maybe.
00:32:49So, you're August Whitmore.
00:32:52They say you're allergic to women.
00:32:55Is that true?
00:32:58But after we got married, she changed.
00:33:00Honey, what do you think?
00:33:07Red is gaudy.
00:33:09And can you stop talking so loud?
00:33:11After that, she stopped wearing colors, stopped laughing out loud.
00:33:15She was just dull.
00:33:18Charlotte changed for you because she loved you.
00:33:23What if she gets tired and walks away?
00:33:25Could you live with that?
00:33:26All right.
00:33:33What are you guys talking about?
00:33:34Nothing.
00:33:35Just work stuff.
00:33:36You're thinking about work while you're on a date with me?
00:33:39You better make it up to me, okay?
00:33:40That new bistro?
00:33:41I want to eat there.
00:33:43Now!
00:33:49Yeah, I understand.
00:33:51Sir, it's a four-hour wait.
00:33:53Tessa, I have an important meeting this afternoon.
00:33:57Can we do this somewhere else?
00:33:59No, it's just four hours.
00:34:01If you're really my boyfriend, you better spoil me like a man madly in love would.
00:34:05All right.
00:34:06We'll wait.
00:34:08You're the best.
00:34:10So, this is what love feels like.
00:34:12Just tired.
00:34:13What?
00:34:14Nothing.
00:34:15Let's go.
00:34:16Let's go.
00:34:16Let's go.
00:34:18Let's go.
00:34:22Let's go.
00:34:23Oh, my God.
00:34:29Thanks, Aki.
00:34:29You're the sweetest.
00:34:31I have to take this.
00:34:37Tessa?
00:34:38What a coincidence.
00:34:40Is that your boyfriend?
00:34:41He's insanely hot.
00:34:43That's my stepbrother.
00:34:45Your stepbrother?
00:34:46You've never mentioned him.
00:34:47He seems so attentive-kept, fussing over you.
00:34:51And the way he was looking at you?
00:34:53Definitely boyfriend vibes.
00:34:55Oh.
00:34:55You two never.
00:34:58What?
00:34:59No, no, no, no.
00:35:00My mom married his dad.
00:35:02That's literally it.
00:35:04Oh.
00:35:05Sorry.
00:35:05Totally misread.
00:35:06Catch you around?
00:35:14Aki, you're back.
00:35:18Aki, are you done with your phone call?
00:35:20Yeah.
00:35:21You didn't happen to hear any of that, did you?
00:35:23Should I have?
00:35:24No, no, no.
00:35:25There was nothing at all.
00:35:27I'm done with my food now, so let's go.
00:35:33Let's wait till we're in the car.
00:35:35There's too many people in here.
00:35:38When this place opened, the wait list was insane.
00:35:41Charlotte waited eight hours just to get us a table.
00:35:43But I showed up late.
00:35:45You're here.
00:35:46Hey, testinated something last minute.
00:35:49Sorry I'm late.
00:35:50Why did you order so much food?
00:35:51I, um, I actually invited some friends.
00:35:54I, I really wanted them to meet you.
00:35:56But they couldn't wait any longer, so they had to go.
00:35:58But hey, I mean, it's just you and me.
00:36:01Date night, right?
00:36:02Charlotte couldn't wait to introduce me to her friends.
00:36:05But Tessa?
00:36:08Aki, what are you looking at?
00:36:10Nothing.
00:36:11Let's go.
00:36:15Where's Charlotte?
00:36:16Didn't she come back with you?
00:36:18Uh, she, she had something come up.
00:36:20Said she couldn't make it.
00:36:21You two have been married a while now.
00:36:23Don't you think it's about time you had a child?
00:36:25Actually, yeah.
00:36:26Dad, August has his own plans for that.
00:36:28Let's, let's not rush him.
00:36:30All right, Tessa.
00:36:32But you're now of age, too.
00:36:34I've lined up some potential matches for you.
00:36:37Family alliances.
00:36:38You should meet with them when you have a moment.
00:36:41Yes, Daddy, of course.
00:36:46Talk later, okay?
00:36:47Aki!
00:36:58Why didn't you tell Mom and Dad about the divorce?
00:37:02Because they love Charlotte.
00:37:04And if they found out you two split, they'd go mad.
00:37:07Plus, it's our first night.
00:37:08I didn't want to ruin it.
00:37:10Then why didn't you refuse Dad when he arranged your marriage?
00:37:12I was just humoring him, Aki.
00:37:15Don't overthink it.
00:37:19I'm tired.
00:37:20I'm going to bed.
00:37:22You can take the guest room.
00:37:35Surprise.
00:37:36Get out.
00:37:40What?
00:37:41Why?
00:37:41We're together now.
00:37:42What's wrong with sharing a bed?
00:37:44If you kick me out, I'm seriously going to cry.
00:37:48Fine.
00:37:49Stay.
00:37:53I can't believe this is real, Aki.
00:37:56I've loved you since we were kids.
00:37:58And now that you love me, it feels like a dream.
00:38:01You really love me that much?
00:38:02Of course I do.
00:38:03I want us to stay like this forever.
00:38:09Then let's get married.
00:38:12What?
00:38:13Let's get married, Tessa.
00:38:15Isn't it a little fast?
00:38:16I mean, we're perfect the way we are, right?
00:38:19I don't do secrets.
00:38:21If we're going to be together, it's all in.
00:38:23I'll make it public that we're not biologically related.
00:38:25Then we marry.
00:38:27And build our life with everyone's blessings.
00:38:29Look, if you want me, Tessa, if you really want me, this is what it takes.
00:38:36No.
00:38:37No, no, no, no, no.
00:38:38No, I can't.
00:38:39I won't.
00:38:40If we go public, I won't be the admired heiress anymore.
00:38:47And people will say I seduced my own brother.
00:38:48That's disgusting.
00:38:50And your mom and dad would never forgive us.
00:38:53I see what you really want.
00:38:54You want me to be your secret lover?
00:38:55No, I don't.
00:38:56That's not it.
00:38:57I just...
00:38:57I just want us to stay the way we are.
00:39:01Right.
00:39:01Nothing has to change.
00:39:03Is that why you denied our relationship to your classmate?
00:39:06That's my stepbrother.
00:39:08You heard that?
00:39:09I was just scared that they'd gossip.
00:39:13Okay, please.
00:39:14Please don't be mad at me.
00:39:14I was just scared.
00:39:16Right.
00:39:17And when dad brought up a marriage alliance, you said yes?
00:39:21Was that also fair too?
00:39:22Yes, daddy, of course.
00:39:24Yes!
00:39:25Okay, I...
00:39:26I was just trying to buy time, okay?
00:39:28I would have come up with something.
00:39:30Eventually.
00:39:33Tessa.
00:39:34I've always loved you.
00:39:36But I didn't hold back because I was afraid you would reject me.
00:39:39I held back because deep down I know how selfish you can be.
00:39:42What?
00:39:44You said yes to me, but not to any of the costs.
00:39:47You wouldn't give your image up.
00:39:49Your title.
00:39:50You only want me if it's easy.
00:39:52Then why be with me at all?
00:39:57Because I had hope.
00:40:00If you would have really chosen me, I would have given you everything.
00:40:03But I see now you would risk nothing for me.
00:40:06Let's end this, Tessa.
00:40:13Let's end this, Tessa.
00:40:16No, no, no, no.
00:40:17Please, please don't end this, okay?
00:40:18I know I'm selfish and I'm scared, but that's the girl you fall for, isn't it?
00:40:24Just give me more time.
00:40:26Please.
00:40:27I've compromised everything for you, but not this.
00:40:29If you're not willing to stand beside me in the light, then we're going to go back to just being siblings.
00:40:37This was your plan all along, wasn't it?
00:40:40You've always wanted to own me, and now that you do, you're going back to her.
00:40:44To Charlotte.
00:40:45You love her, don't you?
00:40:48I am going back to her.
00:40:50And we never divorced.
00:40:51And I don't know whether I love her.
00:40:53I just know that this house doesn't feel like home without her.
00:40:59She's not coming back.
00:41:02She will.
00:41:03Charlotte loves me.
00:41:04If I find her, she'll come back.
00:41:08And what makes you so sure?
00:41:10Have you forgotten all the terrible things you did to her all because of me?
00:41:13Have you forgotten all the terrible things you did to her all because of me?
00:41:23Tessa wants to go shopping.
00:41:25I'm going to get up to you later.
00:41:26Promise.
00:41:38Augie, I don't like her.
00:41:41Then she won't be at family events anymore.
00:41:42I promise.
00:41:46Remember when I smashed those bottles up her head?
00:41:48You grounded me for one day.
00:41:51Remember when I hacked off all her hair?
00:41:54You did nothing.
00:41:56You even authorized a skin graft from her body.
00:42:00You really think she'd forgive you after all that?
00:42:04I did all that?
00:42:06Yeah, you did.
00:42:08Cruel, isn't it?
00:42:10Honestly, it's a miracle.
00:42:12She stayed with you as long as she did.
00:42:25She's really done with you, August.
00:42:28August.
00:42:35This is hell for her, okay?
00:42:42And she wants no part of you in it.
00:42:44Shut up!
00:42:59Tomorrow I'll have my driver bring you back.
00:43:01Father arranged a match for you.
00:43:03Go meet the man.
00:43:05You'd really let me marry another man?
00:43:07Isn't that what you want?
00:43:09To be the Whitmore heiress?
00:43:11Fine.
00:43:12From now on everything goes back to the way it used to.
00:43:14You're my sister, and I'm with Charlotte.
00:43:28Find out where Charlotte is now.
00:43:30Sir, she asked you for a divorce.
00:43:32Maybe it's time that you let her go.
00:43:34What, have you forgotten who you work for?
00:43:35No, I haven't, sir. I am your assistant.
00:43:38But I'm also someone who has feelings for Miss Charlotte.
00:43:41What, what did you just say?
00:43:43Anybody who would have met her would have fallen for her, sir.
00:43:46She is stunning like fire.
00:43:48But you, you used her as a stand-in for your guilt shield.
00:43:56I'm not helping you track her down, sir.
00:43:58Fire me if you have to.
00:43:59If you don't do it, I'll find somebody else who will, no matter what the cost.
00:44:03I'm gonna find her.
00:44:04She was all light and fire, so attractive, but somehow, she gave me all of her attention.
00:44:15She always remembered the coffee I like.
00:44:18I brought you a double espresso.
00:44:20Just the right temperature.
00:44:22And it was always perfect.
00:44:31Honey, wait!
00:44:33It's raining.
00:44:34Don't catch a cold.
00:44:35On rainy days, she'd warm up my jacket before I even asked.
00:44:39Have a good day.
00:44:40Even when I locked myself away working overnight, she'd sit outside the door until sunrise.
00:44:54She didn't herself just to stay in my world.
00:45:02And all she ever wanted is for me to love her.
00:45:06August, will you love me?
00:45:09Just once?
00:45:12I will.
00:45:14From now on, Charlotte, you'll be my only love.
00:45:21Yes.
00:45:22Yes, thank you.
00:45:23Sir.
00:45:24We found her.
00:45:25Charlotte's in Paris.
00:45:26Paris?
00:45:27She went to her brothers?
00:45:29Oh, Blake.
00:45:30Thank you so much for coming in all the way from Paris for this.
00:45:34You're my only sister.
00:45:35I wasn't gonna miss this wedding for the world.
00:45:39It's your duty now.
00:45:41You take care of our little princess.
00:45:43If you ever hurt her, I will come back for her.
00:45:47I mean it.
00:45:48Don't be mad, okay?
00:45:49We're doing just fine the way we are.

00:49:51What the hell's going on?
00:49:53Dean Carver? You gotta be kidding me.
00:49:55Long time no see, August Whitmore.
00:49:57What the hell was that just now?
00:49:59Uh, a kiss?
00:50:01Wasn't it obvious?
00:50:03Let go.
00:50:07We're dating now, man.
00:50:09Got a problem with that?
00:50:11Dating? She's my wife!
00:50:13Oh really? Cause I'm pretty sure you two are divorced already.
00:50:15You...
00:50:17Did you forget what I said to you?
00:50:19You ever hurt her?
00:50:21I will come back for her.
00:50:23Yeah, I kept my promise.
00:50:25But since you're here, August,
00:50:27why don't we let Charlotte decide?
00:50:33Cut the crap, Dane.
00:50:41Of course she's gonna pick me.
00:50:43I'm the one she's always loved.
00:50:45We're divorced, August.
00:50:47You don't get to make decisions for me anymore.
00:50:49I never agreed to a divorce.
00:50:51Come home with me, I'll make it right.
00:50:53Make it right?
00:50:55What do you think this is? You get some kind of free pass?
00:50:57Yeah.
00:50:59A couple of months ago?
00:51:01I would have been thrilled to hear you say that.
00:51:03But now?
00:51:05I don't love you anymore.
00:51:09Stay out of my life and go back to Tessa!
00:51:12It's over between me and her.
00:51:14We're just siblings now.
00:51:15That has nothing to do with me.
00:51:21I love Dean now.
00:51:24I do.
00:51:25In love? With him?
00:51:27You've loved me for six years.
00:51:29You don't just switch it off and fall into somebody else's arms.
00:51:32You think I'm buying this?
00:51:34Yeah?
00:51:35Then how about this?
00:51:41Enough!
00:51:48Stop!
00:51:51Well...
00:51:55Ain't this a show?
00:51:59August?
00:52:04What the hell are you doing here?
00:52:06I'm here to take my wife home.
00:52:09You're divorced.
00:52:10And didn't you just see that sweet kiss?
00:52:13I think she's with Dean now.
00:52:14That's insane.
00:52:15Blake, you're my best friend and you're letting your sister run around and mess with some other man?
00:52:19Cheating on me?
00:52:20Hey, hey.
00:52:21You're the one who always said the best way to fall out of love is to fall in love again.
00:52:26Maybe she just learned from you?
00:52:29Charlotte, I was wrong about everything.
00:52:32Just come home with me, please.
00:52:34Why?
00:52:35Is that because you finally love me now?
00:52:38I don't know if I'm in love with you, but without you the house is empty.
00:52:43Well, that's good.
00:52:45You don't even know if you love me, but you expect me to come back with you?
00:52:51Let's go, Dean.
00:52:53No.
00:52:54You can't go with him.
00:52:55Come with me.
00:52:56Let's talk.
00:53:00Fine.
00:53:05Whoa!
00:53:08She's got this.
00:53:13What the hell do you want, August?
00:53:14I've said it a hundred times.
00:53:16We're divorced.
00:53:17I'm with Dean now.
00:53:18You can't expect me to believe you found love with him that fast.
00:53:21God, you've always been so sure of yourself.
00:53:24Here's the truth.
00:53:25Hearts break, people change.
00:53:29Charlotte?
00:53:30If loving you ever started at a hundred, August,
00:53:32you have spent the past six years tearing it all down.
00:53:41You lied about loving me while obsessing over your stepsister.
00:53:45Minus ten.
00:53:47You ditched me on my birthday to take her shopping.
00:53:50Minus ten.
00:53:52I had a fever.
00:53:53You left me alone to buy her a gift.
00:53:55Minus twenty.
00:53:58She cracked my head.
00:53:59You grounded her for a day.
00:54:01Minus thirty.
00:54:03She cut my hair.
00:54:05She slapped me a hundred times and you just stood there defending her.
00:54:08You drained every drop of love that I had for you, August.
00:54:13There is nothing left.
00:54:15I know I failed you, but I can change.
00:54:19Don't go run to Dean just to get back at me.
00:54:23I'm not with Dean to hurt you.
00:54:25I'm with Dean because I love him.
00:54:29I don't believe you.
00:54:30That's fine.
00:54:32I'll make you believe it.
00:54:39Dean, I'm really sorry that I dragged you into all of this.
00:54:42August is my brother's friend and he just got here, so there's nothing I can do to make him leave.
00:54:47You might have to put up with him for a few more days.
00:54:49I'm sorry.
00:54:51Hey, don't apologize.
00:54:53Actually, I'm glad you gave me a shot.
00:54:57Even if it's just pretending.
00:54:59I said we could try.
00:55:02I don't know.
00:55:03I just got out of something really bad and I don't even know if I'm ready to feel anything again.
00:55:08It's okay.
00:55:09I'll do my best to help you feel again.
00:55:22Hey babe, can I have a raspberry?
00:55:24Of course.
00:55:34Good?
00:55:36Want a bubble tea?
00:55:37Of course.
00:55:41You're welcome.
00:55:50Oh my god, that actor is so handsome.
00:55:53Oh.
00:55:55Really?
00:55:56Oh well, not as handsome as you, obviously.
00:55:59No eyeing other men when I'm right here.
00:56:02Okay!
00:56:04It's only you, only you.
00:56:08She used to ask me to watch TV with her too.
00:56:14Honey, let's watch this movie.
00:56:18I'm busy.
00:56:20Don't bother me.
00:56:21Now if you smile, if you kiss, it all belongs to someone else.
00:56:28Why does this hurt so much?
00:56:31Do you want some more raspberries?
00:56:35Maybe.
00:56:36Yeah?
00:56:37Only if you feed them to me.
00:56:38Oh, I forgot to mention, they're in their honeymoon phase.
00:56:43So this is just an appetizer.
00:56:45You can't handle it.
00:56:48Just walk away.
00:56:50I'm not leaving until she comes home.
00:56:53All right.
00:56:55Hey Shirley.
00:56:57There's a charity auction coming up.
00:56:59You wanna go?
00:57:00Of course, let's go.
00:57:01Okay.
00:57:02Okay.
00:57:03Wait.
00:57:04I'm coming too.
00:57:19You've always liked green, haven't you?
00:57:22That emerald necklace has your name all over it.
00:57:26I'm gonna bid on it for you.
00:57:28No.
00:57:29She doesn't even like emeralds.
00:57:32You're wrong.
00:57:33Emeralds are my favorite.
00:57:35But you told me.
00:57:36You got this for me?
00:57:45Oh my god.
00:57:48I love it, Augie.
00:57:50Thank you!
00:57:52I knew you'd like it.
00:57:54Got it custom made?
00:57:56Yours isn't here.
00:58:03Simple design.
00:58:06It's nice.
00:58:07I gave Tessa a 10 million dollar emerald.
00:58:10Charlotte got a clearance bin, a trinket.
00:58:13How the hell would I let that happen?
00:58:17Told you what?
00:58:18Did I ever say I didn't like emeralds?
00:58:20I misunderstood, I'm sorry.
00:58:22You didn't misunderstand.
00:58:23You just never cared.
00:58:25Next item, a royal emerald necklace.
00:58:29A timeless symbol of eternal, faithful love.
00:58:3310 million.
00:58:3520.
00:58:3630.
00:58:3740.
00:58:39No, wait.
00:58:40Oh, is it too rich for you?
00:58:41I'll take this as a graceful bow out.
00:58:44Actually, ladies and gentlemen, I am not here to play bidding games.
00:58:52That necklace matters to me.
00:58:54And no matter what number it hits, I'm in it till the end.
00:58:57Sold!
00:58:59Congratulations, Mr. Carver!
00:59:03Do you like it?
00:59:04I love it.
00:59:05You shouldn't have.
00:59:06I have money.
00:59:07As long as you're smiling, it's worth it.
00:59:08Even without fancy gifts, it feels so good to have Dean around.
00:59:10Wasn't he with Charlotte?
00:59:11Why is she not staring at me?
00:59:12I'm not talking to me.
00:59:14I have money.
00:59:15And the passion that I am sure to pay attention to my family for the purpose of my family.
00:59:16I have money.
00:59:17As long as you're smiling, it's worth it.
00:59:18Even without fancy gifts, it feels so good to have Dean around.

01:03:35Am I crazy?
01:03:36What about you?
01:03:37What the hell are you doing?
01:03:38What I do is none of your business.
01:03:40Get out!
01:03:40It's none of my business.
01:03:42You're sleeping with another man right under my nose!
01:03:44This is my home.
01:03:45And I love him.
01:03:48Yeah.
01:03:49You're the one who needs to leave, August.
01:03:50Dean.
01:03:51Let me talk to him.
01:04:07Dean has been in love with me for years.
01:04:10He's been more faithful than you ever have been.
01:04:12Charlotte, at Blake's birthday dinner, I saw you in that red dress.
01:04:22You look like fire.
01:04:24I know you love August.
01:04:25He doesn't deserve you.
01:04:26But if he makes you happy, I'll stay away.
01:04:29Now that you're divorced, just one chance, Charlotte.
01:04:31Let me love you the way you deserve.
01:04:33He has always been loyal to me.
01:04:38Unlike you.
01:04:40Celibate with a heart of stone.
01:04:51He's loved you since back then?
01:04:54Yes, he has.
01:04:55I told you that if you didn't want to love me, somebody else would.
01:05:01I was hopelessly in love with you for years, and you ignored me.
01:05:04Now that I've finally moved on, you want to act like I'm yours again?
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:09I don't want your apology.
01:05:11I want you out of my life.
01:05:13For good.
01:05:15I can change.
01:05:17Okay, just come back with me.
01:05:18Come back with me.
01:05:20Hey!
01:05:31Don't worry, I've got it.
01:05:37She used to look at me like that.
01:05:38So this is what it feels like, loving someone and losing them.
01:06:06Charlotte?
01:06:07Is that you?
01:06:08Charlotte?
01:06:12Is that you?
01:06:30Strongest whiskey I got.
01:06:38I saw them together today.
01:06:51In bed.
01:06:53I can't take this anymore.
01:06:56Funny.
01:06:57Six years of coldness, and now you suddenly can't take it.
01:07:01Blake, I think I'm in love with her.
01:07:03Before I came to Paris, I wasn't sure.
01:07:07But these days after seeing her smile at him, touch him, I can't breathe.
01:07:12I can't stand seeing Charlotte with another man.
01:07:15Maybe I've always been in love with her.
01:07:17I just...
01:07:17You were just too blind.
01:07:19And deaf.
01:07:22Yeah.
01:07:23Blind and deaf and a damn fool.
01:07:24You gotta help me fix this.
01:07:29I'll spend the rest of my life making it right.
01:07:32We'll see.
01:07:34Get some sleep.
01:07:35There's a wire.
01:07:53Everyone out.
01:07:53Now!
01:07:54That whiskey.
01:08:04Blake drugged it.
01:08:07Charlotte might be in danger.
01:08:14Charlotte!
01:08:15Where are you?
01:08:20Dean, come on!
01:08:20Charlotte!
01:08:40Just take her and go.
01:08:42From now on, my life has nothing to do with you anymore.
01:08:45If you don't love me, someone else will.
01:08:49Just go!
01:08:50Were you this heartbroken?
01:08:58Back then, the way I am now?
01:09:00I'm sorry, Charlotte.
01:09:18Still alive, huh?
01:09:19I guess your luck hasn't run out yet.
01:09:24Charlotte, where is she?
01:09:26Next door.
01:09:28Taking care of Dean.
01:09:29I set the fire, August.
01:09:38See, I even drugged both of your drinks myself.
01:09:41I wanted to see how she'd react.
01:09:45Who she'd choose.
01:09:46And my sister, she didn't disappoint.
01:09:49She dragged Dean out first.
01:09:50She didn't leave his side all night long.
01:09:51She didn't leave his side all night long.
01:09:54You should have seen how heartbroken she was.
01:09:57For Dean.
01:09:59Why?
01:10:01Why'd you do it?
01:10:04Why?
01:10:05Because I want you to feel what it's like to be left behind.
01:10:10I want you to suffer, August.
01:10:15I want you to feel exactly what she felt every damn day with you.
01:10:19How the hell could you let your sister smash bottles over her head and hack off her hair and slap her a hundred times?
01:10:33Your sister's precious to you, and so's mine.
01:10:36I treated you like a friend, and this is how you repay me?
01:10:42By treating my sister like trash?
01:10:48I was wrong.
01:10:52But if this is the price, will you help me bring her back?
01:10:55What?
01:10:56Are you insane?
01:10:58Dean loves her.
01:11:00He's loved her for a decade.
01:11:02And you tore her down for six years.
01:11:06If he knew half of what you did, he'd kill you.
01:11:11But you don't have to worry about that.
01:11:13In fact, you did him a favor.
01:11:15See, I already had your skin grafted to save Dean's burns.
01:11:22Oh, you feel that?
01:11:25That's just a taste of what you did to my sister.
01:11:29I'll pay the price for what I've done.
01:11:33Just please, don't let me lose her.
01:11:36There's no need.
01:11:38See, someone's already paid the price in your stead.
01:11:42That psychotic little sister of yours, Tessa.
01:11:45I found her new husband.
01:11:47Oh, he's perfect.
01:11:50Sixty-something years old in his sadistic prime.
01:11:54I think he's already buried three wives.
01:11:59I lost a half-million-dollar contract just to seal that deal.
01:12:06What?
01:12:07Her wedding was two days ago.
01:12:10She didn't call you?
01:12:10Well, then my job here is done.
01:12:16I hope you both rot in hell.
01:12:20So this is karma.
01:12:23What goes around really does come back.
01:12:24August, please help me.
01:12:41Please, August, I love you.
01:12:43Don't leave me.
01:12:45Dad and Mom forced me to marry the old creep,
01:12:47and last night he abused me over and over again.
01:12:50Please, Poggy, don't leave me.
01:12:54I love you.
01:12:57You made your choice, Tessa.
01:12:59And choices come with consequences.
01:13:02What?
01:13:02What does that mean?
01:13:03I've spoiled you far too long.
01:13:09If you can't live with him, talk to Mom and Dad.
01:13:11No, no, please.
01:13:13You have to help me.
01:13:15I don't have time.
01:13:17And if I do, Charlotte would never forgive me.
01:13:20So it's true.
01:13:22You're in love with her.
01:13:23You're in love with Charlotte.
01:13:26Yes.
01:13:27Liar.
01:13:28You love me.
01:13:30You've always loved me.
01:13:32What?
01:13:33Done crying yet?
01:13:36Looks like I have to punish you more in bed tonight.
01:13:39What?
01:13:39August?
01:13:40August, please try out of the phone, please.
01:13:42Please.
01:13:42She didn't sleep for three days.
01:14:06Stayed right by his side.
01:14:08Such a sweet wife.
01:14:10Mr. Carver's a lucky man.
01:14:20August, what do you want?
01:14:36Give her back to me.
01:14:38I'll trade anything.
01:14:40Anything?
01:14:41Yes.
01:14:43My shares in the Whitmore Group.
01:14:45My overseas accounts.
01:14:48Even Tessa.
01:14:49I'll have her come here and kneel and apologize to Charlotte.
01:14:52You still don't get it, do you?
01:14:56Charlotte is not an object to be bartered for.
01:14:59She's a woman.
01:15:01With a heart.
01:15:03With choices.
01:15:04You hit all of her once and you ruined it.
01:15:07Me?
01:15:10I'm gonna love her with all I have.
01:15:13Every day.
01:15:14For the rest of my life.
01:15:16And you can spend the rest of yours drowning in guilt.
01:15:20Alone.
01:15:21How did I never realize being in love is such a luxury?
01:15:38Didn't I tell you not to find me unless it's life or death?
01:15:40Sir, it's your father.
01:15:41He said it's urgent.
01:15:42What the hell are you doing over there?
01:15:46If you delay this deal any longer, we're gonna lose 500 million.
01:15:50I'll be back tomorrow.
01:15:56I'm headed back to the States.
01:16:08It's a business emergency.
01:16:10But as soon as I fix it, I'll come straight back to you.
01:16:13August Whitmore.
01:16:15You're talking to me again?
01:16:17Don't come back here.
01:16:18I don't ever want to see you again.
01:16:23Just take this, please.
01:16:40Let's get married.
01:16:40Really?
01:16:43Where's the ring?
01:16:46I don't have the ring.
01:16:51You don't want to, Father.
01:16:52Wait, no, no, no, wait.
01:16:53August.
01:16:54I do want to get married, August.
01:16:57I do.
01:17:01A love that arrives too late is worth nothing at all.
01:17:10August, you're finally back.
01:17:22Tessa, what are you doing here?
01:17:25I made a mistake, okay?
01:17:26I don't want to be your sister.
01:17:28I just want to be yours.
01:17:29Tessa!
01:17:31Mr. Whitmore.
01:17:33He's a monster, August.
01:17:34He's been torturing me half to death.
01:17:36You have to help me, please.
01:17:38It was just a misunderstanding.
01:17:40You're married now.
01:17:42Make it work.
01:17:44No, I can't.
01:17:45I can't.
01:17:47You touch her again, you'll regret it.
01:17:52Come on, sweetheart.
01:17:53Let's go.
01:17:54I'll treat you real good.
01:17:56No, no.
01:17:57No, August, please.
01:17:58You promised you'd protect me.
01:17:59You can't leave me like this.
01:18:01Please!
01:18:01Please!
01:18:03No!
01:18:04No!
01:18:10No!
01:18:24No!
01:18:32No!
01:18:33No!
01:18:33No!
01:18:33Charlotte, from now on, this place will only hold memories of you.
01:18:51Where's Charlotte?
01:18:52You said you were bringing her home.
01:18:55We're divorced.
01:18:56What?
01:18:57What did you say?
01:18:58I failed her.
01:19:00For years, I was in love with Tessa.
01:19:03I married Charlotte, thinking I could bury those feelings.
01:19:08We were never even intimate.
01:19:09How dare you!
01:19:11She was your wife!
01:19:12How could you treat her like that?
01:19:14And still, she never said one single bad word about you.
01:19:19Get on the next flight.
01:19:20I don't care if you have to crawl and beg.
01:19:23Just make sure you bring her back.
01:19:24You got that?
01:19:25I will.
01:19:27But before that, there's something I need to do.
01:19:33Dear Charlotte, I walked through the house today and realized there was never space for you here.
01:19:41I'm sorry.
01:19:43You always said you liked my coffee.
01:19:45Truth is, it only tasted good when you made it.
01:19:49You looked stunning in that red dress.
01:19:50I couldn't look too long.
01:19:53Afraid I'd fall too hard.
01:19:59This time, I'll be the one chasing you.
01:20:06Where's Charlotte?
01:20:07Oh, bonjour, monsieur.
01:20:09She left early.
01:20:10It is Mr. Carver's birthday.
01:20:13There's a private party.
01:20:14I think it's a man.
01:20:16Thank you, everyone, for being here for my birthday.
01:20:24It really means a lot.
01:20:26But today, there's something else I want to do.
01:20:32Charlotte, from the first time I saw you, 10 years ago,
01:20:40I knew this moment would come.
01:20:42Let me be the one to give you the love you've always deserved.
01:20:53Say yes!
01:20:54Say yes!
01:20:55Say yes!
01:20:57Say yes!
01:20:57Say yes!

01:20:58Say yes!
01:20:59Say yes, princess.
01:21:01I've added him.
01:21:02He's going to take good care of you.
01:21:05Yes.
01:21:06Yes.
01:21:07Wait.
01:21:10Wait.
01:21:12Are you kidding me?
01:21:17August, are you really crashing my proposal right now?
01:21:21Charlotte, I know I don't deserve anything.
01:21:25Please, just look at me one last time.
01:21:32300 letters.
01:21:34From our first day, to our wedding day, to every day.
01:21:37I loved you.
01:21:38I was just too much of a coward to tell you.
01:21:41Keep them.
01:21:43Okay?
01:21:45Keep them for yourselves.
01:21:52Let's continue.
01:21:52With him gone, Charlotte will be mine again.
