00:00:00Where are you Desmond? I've been waiting for 15 minutes already.
00:00:07I mean you probably can't be too far.
00:00:11You've reached Desmond Belmont. Leave a message.
00:00:15Desmond! Hey! I got the pizza.
00:00:19Boring now. Where are you?
00:00:25Okay, never mind. I'll call you back. I see you.
00:00:30I see you.
00:00:49Desmond?
00:00:53I suspected he was having an affair.
00:00:56the last-minute business trips the late nights the smell of a stranger's perfume clinging to
00:01:03his shirt when he thought I wouldn't notice his mom warned me he would cheat and never
00:01:09stay faithful she said but I didn't want to believe her it was on a rainy night just like
00:01:18this one when Desmond promised me forever Desmond hey hey where are you um there's this creep following me
00:01:26I'm really scared come on baby don't run from me I'll show you a good time don't touch me
00:01:36get your hands off my girl
00:01:48are you okay are you okay in your hands you're bleeding you're bleeding I'm fine it's just a
00:02:10scratch I'm sorry I should have come sooner but from now on I promise I will always show up
00:02:17how we'll protect you forever
00:02:19but forever was a lie
00:02:28how did we let this happen Desmond once upon a time you'd risk your life for me now you won't even
00:02:39pick up my call funny how love dies quietly on a night just like this
00:02:46but his mom is right
00:02:49we have never meant to lie
00:02:53Beatrice I'm surprised you're calling
00:03:03I'm ready to talk
00:03:06madam miss Lawson has arrived send her in
00:03:13Beatrice you look like a wet dog though that's not surprising given your background
00:03:24which of these do you think would be nice for miss Fairfax she's marrying Desmond after all
00:03:30why in the world he chose to marry someone like you is beyond me she's much more a lady of class
00:03:37sleeping with a married man very classy
00:03:40don't you get sarcastic with me Beatrice I encouraged him to stay silent about the marriage
00:03:46the Fairfax family would be ashamed if they knew he was married to someone with your lowly background
00:03:52so you will get a divorce from Desmond you will stay quiet about the marriage and then I don't want to see you around Desmond anymore understood
00:04:04yes
00:04:06but I want 50 million dollars
00:04:10excuse me are you trying to rob me
00:04:17please 50 million is nothing once Desmond marries the Fairfax heiress
00:04:22but that will only happen if I divorce him and stay silent
00:04:26that's what you want
00:04:27right
00:04:29fine
00:04:30you get the divorce agreement and I'll get you your money
00:04:3450 million exactly
00:04:37and the deal's off
00:04:38we've been married for 10 years
00:04:45but no one knows
00:04:47I'm gonna go talk to Mr. Vermont
00:04:49I'm your wife
00:04:53but you hide me like I'm just some dirty secret lover
00:04:57but once we're divorced
00:04:59you won't have to be embarrassed by me anymore
00:05:02how was your trip?
00:05:14fine
00:05:14I just need you to sign these reports they're due tomorrow
00:05:29are you gonna be home for dinner?
00:05:45no
00:05:45I'll probably be late so just eat without me
00:05:48you know sometimes I don't even think you're trying to hide your mistress
00:05:57the way you so openly let her leave her things around
00:06:01I'm your wife
00:06:02yet I'm the one you chose to keep secret
00:06:05goodbye Desmond
00:06:09mm-hmm
00:06:10see ya
00:06:11but now
00:06:18you won't have to keep me a secret anymore

00:06:32he signed
00:06:32really?
00:06:35just like that?
00:06:36I guess he doesn't love you anymore
00:06:38this is it
00:06:43my ticket to freedom
00:06:45I'm finally moving on
00:06:47I brought you a gift

00:06:59I even handpicked the diamonds myself
00:07:01I don't need any more expensive jewelry
00:07:04maybe you should give that to Madeline Fairfax
00:07:07she'd enjoy it
00:07:08why would I give the gift to her?
00:07:10I just think the Fairfax family would
00:07:11like an expensive gift like that one
00:07:13what's this all about?
00:07:16I don't owe the Fairfax family any gifts
00:07:18yes Madeline and I are working on the Zine Star project together
00:07:21that's it
00:07:22there's nothing going on between the two of us
00:07:25Desmond if you love someone else
00:07:28you can go be with her
00:07:29we can get a divorce
00:07:31we are not getting divorced
00:07:38we are never getting divorced
00:07:43do you understand?

00:08:28donate the money to charity or something
00:08:30sell this one too please
00:08:32this has to be worth at least a million
00:08:37is Desmond really okay with the divorce?
00:08:40he doesn't know about it
00:08:42I tricked him into signing the divorce papers
00:08:45you what?
00:08:46aren't you afraid of what Desmond will do when he finds out he already signed?
00:08:50no no with the money I'm getting from his mom
00:08:52I can disappear to anywhere in the world
00:08:54I could hire added security protection
00:08:57if I really wanted to

00:17:38Beatrice!
00:17:39you locked us
00:17:40there
00:17:46now we can finally have some taste in the office
00:17:48I know all about girls like you
00:17:52you sleep your way to the top
00:17:54and then think you'll snag a billionaire husband
00:17:57but you're just a plaything
00:17:58no respect when they ever marry someone like you
00:18:01when you think you're so much better
00:18:03because you have my sloppy seconds
00:18:05keep it
00:18:11think of it as a parting gift
00:18:14you bitch
00:18:15you made my nose bleed
00:18:17she is definitely going to drown us in work now
00:18:24but seeing her run off like that
00:18:26definitely made it worth it
00:18:27you guys don't be afraid to quit
00:18:28if she makes your life hell
00:18:29there are plenty of other jobs out there
00:18:31trust me
00:18:32oh
00:18:33did you find one yet?
00:18:34I heard Damien Crowley
00:18:36is looking for a new assistant
00:18:37if you're interested
00:18:38he just flew in from Europe
00:18:40so he's been over there for 10 years
00:18:41Neil, she's a project director
00:18:43she can't just drop down
00:18:45to be someone's secretary
00:18:46and not to mention
00:18:47Damien Crowley
00:18:48is like mortal enemies with Desmond
00:18:50why do you think our boss
00:18:51has been so stressed lately?
00:18:53it's because Damien Crowley is in town
00:18:55yeah, being a secretary
00:18:57would be a major demotion
00:18:58but Damien is Desmond's biggest competitor
00:19:01it'd be good to make my own business connections
00:19:04instead of only dealing with Desmond's
00:19:06you know what?
00:19:07it's actually a great idea
00:19:08I'll think about it
00:19:11uh, Mr. Belmont's in a meeting
00:19:15uh, you
00:19:20look what she did
00:19:23wow

00:26:34wait
00:26:36I
00:26:36wow
00:26:39you are such a prick
00:26:40Beatrice is one of the most competent people I know
00:26:45and she'd be taking a major demotion to be your secretary
00:26:48don't write her off just because she wore workout clothes to a golf meeting
00:26:52you know she was in a soup when we got here
00:26:55and I told her to change because this was supposed to be a fun outing
00:26:58and you ruined it
00:26:59I'll see you at home
00:27:01but I'm starting to think who you're hanging out with is rubbing off on you
00:27:04Greg
00:27:07thanks a lot Damien
00:27:09we're gonna hear about this all night
00:27:10Violet begged me to join you so you can meet Beatrice
00:27:13she just left the summit group yesterday
00:27:15why?
00:27:16no clue
00:27:17she was the best project director they had
00:27:19close 8 out of the 12 of the company's multi-million dollar deals
00:27:23well why doesn't she just continue working on that
00:27:25between us
00:27:26Beatrice and the summit CEO used to date
00:27:29and the word on the street is
00:27:31he's going to marry Madeline Fairfax now
00:27:34I don't think Beatrice wants to work for a company
00:27:36that associates with him at all
00:27:38so she used to date Desmond Belmont
00:27:40interesting
00:27:44Desmond
00:27:48I want you to explain exactly
00:27:50what happened with my sister at your company
00:27:52she got injured and you didn't do anything about it
00:27:54she's okay
00:27:56what exactly did you want me to do?
00:27:58you need to make Beatrice apologize to me
00:28:00Desmond
00:28:01come on my nose it still hurts from yesterday
00:28:06and not only that but that bitch publicly humiliated my sister
00:28:09how do you expect her to run a team?
00:28:11this looks bad on you too
00:28:13you swear that actually happened?
00:28:15you didn't do anything to provoke her
00:28:19no no of course I didn't
00:28:22no
00:28:23she insulted me in front of everybody out of nowhere
00:28:26it was completely uncalled for
00:28:27you know how much I hate
00:28:29fires
00:28:30Madeline
00:28:31why are you still on her side?
00:28:32okay well fine
00:28:33if she doesn't want to return and formally apologize to me
00:28:35then you need to fire her team
00:28:37agreed
00:28:38we can't have Madeline's employees think they could just walk all over her
00:28:41her team is going nowhere
00:28:44Beatrice was one of our best project directors here
00:28:48and that team
00:28:49was a part of it
00:28:51if Madeline can't handle the job then she can just quit
00:28:54and I'll hire someone that can
00:28:56okay
00:28:58I see what this is now
00:29:00listen if you haven't completely moved on from her
00:29:03I'm gonna have no choice but to cancel this partnership Mr. Belmont
00:29:07cancel our partnership
00:29:09I don't see you in court
00:29:10do you understand?
00:29:12you don't want to piss me off Quentin
00:29:15and I'm done here
00:29:20I have more important business to handle
00:29:24I don't think you've won Beatrice
00:29:35I'll be getting my revenge
00:29:37I'm sorry again about earlier
00:29:39I didn't realize Damien was so stuck up
00:29:42that's fine
00:29:43now we can focus on planning our trip
00:29:45I honestly have no idea
00:29:48that's fair
00:29:5042M
00:29:52uh...
00:29:53Gordon just texted me Damien's suit size
00:29:56that's great
00:29:58I mean maybe that means he's changed his mind
00:30:00and wants to talk about the job
00:30:02I'm just gonna give him his jacket back
00:30:03and forget about the job completely
00:30:05so I'm gonna go ahead and text him back
00:30:07figure out where he wants to meet
00:30:08okay I'll talk to you later
00:30:09huh?

00:30:21to discuss my divorce agreement anyways
00:30:24at least this way I can kill two birds with one stone
00:30:30coming
00:30:39you said that you were coming home last night
00:30:55but you didn't
00:30:57and clearly your stuff is not at the cleaners
00:31:00what are you doing here Desmond?
00:31:06why'd you move out?
00:31:08why'd you lie about it?
00:31:10the apartment that we lived in is yours
00:31:13with the post-nup your mom made me sign
00:31:16I have no claim to it
00:31:17so I moved out so I could have my own space
00:31:19okay?
00:31:20that post-nup, it's being cancelled
00:31:22if you wanted your own apartment
00:31:23you could've asked me
00:31:24I would've gone
00:31:25we could've looked for it together
00:31:26I would've bought it for you
00:31:27that is not the point
00:31:29Desmond
00:31:30we're married Beatrice
00:31:32I don't understand why you're keeping all these secrets from me
00:31:34I'm keeping secrets?
00:31:36me?
00:31:37you've been seeing Madeline for months now
00:31:44everyone knows you plan to marry her
00:31:46yet you have the nerve to accuse me of keeping secrets
00:31:50I don't know what you're thinking
00:31:52but you're wrong
00:31:54I want you to come home with me
00:32:07you can trust me
00:32:09I don't know that I can
00:32:11I don't know that I can
00:32:18I noticed

00:33:13it's not poison if that's what you're worried about
00:33:15not thirsty
00:33:17poison is tacky Beatrice
00:33:19hmm

00:33:27that's okay

00:35:22on picking up the jacket
00:35:23directly from Miss Lawson?

00:38:21where's Beatrice?
00:38:22how should i know?
00:38:23she came here to meet you
00:38:24i figured to cancel the post-nuptial agreement
00:38:26yes
00:38:27and i gave her the cancellation contract and then she just disappeared
00:38:32you know jesmyn i don't think it's wise to cancel an agreement that's protecting your assets
00:38:35opinion without any means nothing to me mother
00:38:40this is the belmont family name at stake
00:38:42of course my opinion matters
00:38:43Desmond
00:38:44please
00:38:45just
00:38:46think
00:38:47about marrying madeline fairfax
00:38:48i'm not marrying madeline
00:38:49she's
00:38:50she's just entertainment
00:38:52and her family still have a girlfriend
00:38:53soon
00:38:54that's just
00:38:55right
00:38:56i don't know
00:38:57i don't know
00:38:58why
00:38:59you want to make
00:39:00like
00:39:01let's see
00:39:03And her family still has some use to me.
00:39:09What if Beatrice finds out about your affair?
00:39:12Then I'll leave Madeline.
00:39:14I'm not going to end my marriage with someone who just offers me simple pleasures.
00:39:18Stop trying to get Beatrice to divorce me.
00:39:22Or else I'll tell everyone that Beatrice is my wife.
00:39:29That would ruin our relationship with the Fairfax family.
00:39:32The Fairfax family means no importance to me if it means losing Beatrice.
00:39:36There are so many other companies out there that I can partner with.
00:39:39But there's only one Beatrice.
00:39:42Do you understand?
00:39:44This is the last time I'm telling you.
00:39:47I will not stand for this.
00:39:50Beatrice is not a fit wife and you will not stay married to her.
00:39:54If I don't stay married to that woman, I will tell Colin, I will tell everyone on this staff
00:40:04that you no longer reside on the Belmont Estates.
00:40:08I'll put you in a fucking retirement home.
00:40:11Are we clear?
00:40:13Think about it.
00:40:14I'm not having this conversation with you again.
00:40:25You've already signed the divorce, Desmond.
00:40:28You might not care about my opinion, but this is happening whether you like it or not.
00:40:32So her vitals are stable.
00:40:37The drug was just a sedative, so there is no long-term damages.
00:40:41Of course.
00:40:46Good.
00:40:47You're awake.
00:40:49Yeah.
00:40:51Hi.
00:40:52You're in the hospital.
00:40:53Do you remember what happened?
00:40:57Yeah.
00:40:59The hotel.
00:41:01I thought those guys were going to kill me and you saved me.
00:41:05I don't know how I could ever...
00:41:07That's not necessary.
00:41:09You're alive and that's all that matters.
00:41:13However, I thought you should know that the armed men said that they were hired by someone
00:41:17associated with the Belmont family.
00:41:20I have the records.
00:41:21Let me know if you want to press charges.
00:41:23Someone involved with Desmond?
00:41:27Also, you should come in an interview.
00:41:30You wanted to be my secretary, right?
00:41:33Really?
00:41:37Thank God, Beatrice, you're okay.
00:41:43Mr. Crowley, what are you doing here?
00:41:46Beatrice and I had a meeting.
00:41:49I was the one who found her.
00:41:51Beatrice.
00:41:52You guys are on a first name basis?
00:42:00Here's my number.
00:42:00Go ahead and reach out to me directly once you've made your decision.
00:42:10Go ahead and reach out to me directly once you've made your decision.
00:42:10What happened?
00:42:24What happened?
00:42:26I was attacked.
00:42:27I'm going to make sure to find them.
00:42:32I will.
00:42:33I've already contacted hotel security to get the surveillance footage.
00:42:36I'm not going to let them get away.
00:42:38It's funny because someone close to you hired those men to begin with.
00:42:46Desmond, wait.
00:42:47Desmond!
00:42:48Wait!
00:42:49Where are we going?
00:42:50Home.
00:42:51Desmond!
00:42:52Desmond!
00:42:52Desmond!
00:42:53Desmond!
00:42:53Desmond!
00:42:54Desmond!
00:42:54Desmond!
00:42:54Desmond!
00:42:55Desmond!
00:42:55Desmond!
00:42:56Desmond!
00:42:56Desmond!
00:42:57Do you get the security footage?
00:42:58Yes, but unfortunately the cameras on the floor she was taken to were turned off before
00:43:11the incident occurred.
00:43:12We weren't able to see anything.
00:43:14The attackers are thorough.
00:43:15How would you like us to proceed, Mr. Belmont?
00:43:17Don't bother with anything.
00:43:19Beatrice will recover and then this whole thing will just blow over.
00:43:22Understood.
00:43:23Anything else?
00:43:24Yeah.
00:43:25I need you to fire Madeline Fairfax tomorrow.
00:43:29This whole thing is becoming a hassle.
00:43:32Understood.
00:43:33Where's the rest of the footage?
00:43:37Those guys should have bruised her up pretty badly.
00:43:40They barely said anything.
00:43:42I wonder if they actually killed her.
00:43:44That would be the best case scenario.
00:43:46Then I wouldn't have to deal with her annoying antics anymore.
00:43:56Um, hello?
00:43:58I don't see any work being done.
00:44:01It's 12.30.
00:44:03It's lunch time.
00:44:05I don't care.
00:44:06Let's go.
00:44:07Chop chop!
00:44:08You can't force us to work through lunch.
00:44:10That's illegal.
00:44:11Yes, I can.
00:44:12I'm the project manager now, so you have to do what I say.
00:44:15No, they don't.
00:44:17Madeline Fairfax, you are no longer employed by Summit Group.
00:44:20Please leave the office immediately.
00:44:22What are you talking about?
00:44:24Of course I am.
00:44:25I replaced Beatrice, so I'm in charge now.
00:44:29Desmond gave me the job himself.
00:44:31And now he's taking it away.
00:44:33You're no longer welcome on Summit Group property.
00:44:35Your privileges have been evoked.
00:44:39Excuse me?
00:44:41You can't do that!
00:44:42Yeah, I can.
00:44:43Uh, this gentleman will escort you out.
00:44:46Whatever.
00:44:47Now that Beatrice is gone, Madame Belmont can finally announce my engagement to Desmond.
00:44:52Her charity banquet will be the perfect occasion.
00:44:54I'll make sure Desmond attends as my date so the whole community knows that I am the future Mrs. Belmont.
00:45:00I can't remember the last time he made me pancakes.
00:45:15Eat up.
00:45:16You need to regain your strength.
00:45:19How are you feeling?
00:45:21Do I need to call the doctor?
00:45:22We can get an at-home visit going?
00:45:24No, I am perfectly fine.
00:45:27Okay.
00:45:28Just so you know, I did call off work this entire week.
00:45:33That way I can be here for you whenever you need me.
00:45:35What's the point of acting like you're in love with me now?
00:45:39It's too late, Desmond.
00:45:42That's okay.
00:45:43You don't have to do that.
00:45:44Like I said, I'm fine.
00:45:46I want to.
00:45:47I'm your husband.
00:45:49I care about you.
00:45:52I was thinking...
00:45:54Maybe...
00:45:55After you recover...
00:45:59You start trying for a baby.
00:46:01We're both home.
00:46:04I think it would be the perfect time.
00:46:06What do you think?
00:46:13Once upon a time, all I ever wanted was to have a baby with him.
00:46:16But now, it would be my worst nightmare.
00:46:20I'm not ready for a baby.
00:46:22I'm not.
00:46:23Violet and I were planning a trip to Paris.
00:46:25I want to travel.
00:46:26I want to be alone.
00:46:28For a little while.
00:46:29First.
00:46:32Okay.
00:46:33The process takes nine months.
00:46:37We could start now.
00:46:38And then you have all the time in the world to travel before the baby's born.
00:46:43It's important that the Belmont family has an heir.
00:46:46We could even...
00:46:49Get started right now.
00:46:50No.
00:47:07Where were we?
00:47:11Why didn't you answer her call?
00:47:13I already told you.
00:47:14I'm not going into work this week.
00:47:16Roland will handle any office concerns.
00:47:18You know.
00:47:19I'm both home.
00:47:20Why don't we call the designer?
00:47:22Convert one of the bedrooms into a nursery.
00:47:26You know, I'm, uh...
00:47:28I'm getting a headache.
00:47:29I should go lay down.
00:47:31You should make sure your employees know when you're out of office.
00:47:43Roland already terminated your position.
00:47:44What do you want?
00:47:45Desmond.
00:47:46Hi.
00:47:48Madeline, I don't have time for this.
00:47:51If you have anything, just have Roland handle it.
00:47:54I'm busy.
00:47:55Wait!
00:47:56Uh, you know, I left the company like you requested, but...
00:47:59Perhaps we could see each other one last time.
00:48:02To say goodbye.
00:48:03I think you owe me that, at least.
00:48:07Fine.
00:48:08When?
00:48:09This weekend.
00:48:10This weekend.
00:48:11Your mother is hosting a charity banquet.
00:48:13We can go together.
00:48:15Alright.
00:48:16I'll be there.
00:48:18But Madeline, don't try anything funny.
00:48:21I have one line.
00:48:23Don't cross it.
00:48:24Now everyone will finally know we're getting engaged, Desmond.
00:48:25This is insane, Beatrice.
00:48:26Mm-hmm.
00:48:27Mm-hmm.
00:48:28I mean, I'm glad you're okay now, but who do you think was behind this?
00:48:42I have my suspicions.
00:48:44Okay, I can't prove it, but I think it was Madeline Fairfax.
00:48:51Madeline Fairfax.
00:48:53That reminds me.
00:48:54Desmond is supposed to be at Madame Belmont's charity gala this weekend.
00:48:57Yeah.
00:48:58I mean, this is a mom's gala.
00:48:59I'm sure you'd be there.
00:49:01Yes.
00:49:02But...
00:49:03Madame Belmont is planning to announce Desmond's engagement to Madeline Fairfax.
00:49:08I actually think it makes a lot of sense if Madeline is the one behind your attack.
00:49:12She wants to get rid of you once and for all.
00:49:15Wait, how do you know all of that?
00:49:18She sent invitations out.
00:49:23Wow.
00:49:24They're going perfect.
00:49:30This is actually perfect.
00:49:34I think I'm going to pay my husband a visit to his engagement party.
00:49:40But I'm gonna need your help.
00:49:42Of course.
00:49:51Yes?
00:49:54You look nice.
00:49:58This is for my mother's charity banquet.
00:50:00Oh.
00:50:04I didn't realize she was hosting an event today.
00:50:09You gonna bring a date?
00:50:10No.
00:50:15I'd only want to attend the event with you.
00:50:18But I figured it'd be best if you stayed home to recover for a little bit while longer.
00:50:23More lies.
00:50:28Well.
00:50:30I appreciate your concern.
00:50:31You'll be okay tonight while I'm gone?
00:50:38Of course.
00:50:41We'll get some sleep, some actual rest. You need it.
00:50:44Don't wait up for me.
00:50:49One day you'll understand.
00:50:51I wasn't waiting.
00:50:52No.
00:50:53I was learning to live without you.
00:50:55And now?
00:50:57I don't need you.
00:50:59I never did.
00:51:05Lovely to see you again.
00:51:07This is quite the turnout, madam.
00:51:08It really is.
00:51:09It really is.
00:51:20That's Mr. Belmont and Miss Fairfax.
00:51:24They make such a beautiful couple.
00:51:25I heard their engagement is being formally announced tonight.
00:51:31Madeline, always a pleasure to see you.
00:51:36You look stunning.
00:51:39Oh, thank you, madam Belmont.
00:51:41Anything for this fantastic gala you've arranged?
00:51:45Desmond, you look dashing.
00:51:48Madeline, could I have a quick word privately with you?
00:51:52I want to talk about some of the jewelry that's up for auction.
00:51:54Of course.
00:52:01Beatrice never returned with her finalized breakup agreement.
00:52:05Have you been in contact with her?
00:52:09Madame Belmont doesn't know about my stunt with those attackers.
00:52:12Then I almost had that bitch kill.
00:52:17Yes.
00:52:18She contacted me.
00:52:19She signed it earlier today.
00:52:21Well, that's wonderful.
00:52:22I'm so looking forward to having you as my daughter-in-law.
00:52:26You're so reliable.
00:52:27Thank you, madam Belmont.
00:52:28I try my best.
00:52:29Please.
00:52:30We're about to be family.
00:52:31No need to stand on formalities.
00:52:34Call me Autumn.
00:52:35Or mom if you prefer.
00:52:37Okay, mom it is then.
00:52:38Desmond.
00:52:45Desmond?
00:52:47What do you think?
00:52:48The diamond ring by Mrs. Nelson is stunning.
00:52:51But the emeralds from Mrs. Smith, they're so unique.
00:52:54They both sound fine.
00:52:55Oh, what about this one?
00:52:56A one-of-a-kind diamond necklace.
00:52:59Wow.
00:53:00It says the diamonds were hand-picked by the original owner.
00:53:02This is Beatrice's necklace.
00:53:03The one I just gave her.
00:53:04And those are her pink diamonds from our anniversary.
00:53:06And her wedding ring.
00:53:08She sold them all.
00:53:09That's why she wasn't wearing her wedding ring.
00:53:11You guys enjoy the rest of the gala.
00:53:12I have something important I need to take care of.
00:53:13Wait, what?
