00:00:07You've got this, Bella. Do it for Ethan.
00:00:13Save your effort, Virgin.
00:00:15I know you're desperate to pay for your brother's medical bills, but you're not gonna make it.
00:00:19You wanna know why?
00:00:20Because you know nothing about men.
00:00:22That'd be sexy.
00:00:23We'll see about that.
00:00:25Watch out, sweetheart. The spotlight could blind you.
00:00:32Let's give them a show to remember.
00:00:52Come over and shake my ass for me.
00:00:54Take your waist, guys. We could be expensive.
00:00:56You need a little fee in your life.
00:00:58You need a little fee in your life.
00:00:58Oh, yeah, babe. Move those legs.
00:01:01I want to see the sea in your eyes.
00:01:02You need to be free.
00:01:03Shit.
00:01:11Ouch.
00:01:11That's embarrassing.
00:01:13Get your sorry ass off the stage! You're ruining it for the rest of us!
00:01:18Damn it. I blew it.
00:01:20I need to hold myself together.
00:01:22I can't cry in front of them. Just...
00:01:38Stand up. Don't let them see you this way.
00:01:43Who is this man?
00:01:45And why is he looking at me like he knows me?
00:01:49Get up. I don't have all night.
00:01:57Have we met before?
00:01:59I don't think so.
00:02:01I'm so sorry, Mr. Delaney.
00:02:03Please, have a seat and have some fun with us.
00:02:07And don't mind this stupid amateur.
00:02:10I can't believe I screwed this up.
00:02:12The medical pills are due soon.
00:02:15Oh god, Ethan!
00:02:17Stop!
00:02:18This is a place for fun.
00:02:20Not for your pathetic mess.
00:02:22Can you even hear me?
00:02:24Help!
00:02:26Now you're ruining life one.
00:02:28No.
00:02:28Sir.
00:02:29I wouldn't dare.
00:02:30It's just...
00:02:31You're the biggest name in the club, in this whole city.
00:02:34I was only trying to teach her a lesson for spoiling the name.
00:02:38You.
00:02:39You're so completely full of yourself.
00:02:40Hand it with me!
00:02:41I'm sorry.
00:02:42I didn't mean to.
00:02:44No one cares about your shitty life.
00:02:46Get the hell out of here.
00:02:48Give me a private room.
00:02:49Of course.
00:02:51I'll make sure we have a great time, sir.
00:02:52Not with you.
00:02:55You.
00:02:58You come with me.
00:03:04Sit down.
00:03:14Tell me why.
00:03:16What do you mean?
00:03:18Why are you stripping?
00:03:19You're not like the other girls.
00:03:22It's all for my little brother.
00:03:26He's really sick.
00:03:27He has a rare brain disease.
00:03:31I dropped out of college to pay for his medical bills, but they just keep piling up.
00:03:42And...
00:03:46This competition was my last chance to fix everything.
00:03:50And I messed it up.
00:03:52Not yet.
00:03:54I'll give you another shot.
00:03:56But you better make it count.
00:03:58I will.
00:04:00I will.
00:04:26Keep your eyes on me.
00:04:29All four.
00:04:57I have a healthier shot.
00:04:58I love to find some people who were Montgomeryboro.
00:04:58I am so surprised at one point.
00:05:02That's enough.
00:05:09Did he even like it?
00:05:11I can't get a read on him.
00:05:13He's just so serious and calm.
00:05:16Different from other people I've met.
00:05:22Let me get to the point.
00:05:24You need help, and I can provide it.
00:05:28You want to help me?
00:05:31Yes, but you might find my arrangement a bit unusual.
00:05:35Ever thought of having a sugar daddy?
00:05:40A sugar daddy?
00:05:43What do you mean?
00:05:46Look, I think you've got the wrong idea of me, Mr. Delaney.
00:05:50I don't want to see you anywhere near this club again.
00:05:53Let me be blunt with you.
00:05:54Well, I'll cover all your brother's medical bills, and all the rest.
00:05:58But in return, I want you.
00:06:01But we barely know each other.
00:06:04And aren't you the biggest client here?
00:06:08I'm the owner of the hotel.
00:06:10I'm mostly here for the pool.
00:06:12You own the hotel?
00:06:14The entire thing?
00:06:16Yes, the entire thing.
00:06:18And other properties from the cities you've only dreamed of.
00:06:27If you agree to this arrangement, you'll have everything you need.
00:06:30You'll make all your problems disappear.
00:06:33I don't know, sir.
00:06:35This is all just so sudden.
00:06:38Think it over.
00:06:40Whenever you're ready, give me a call.
00:07:06Oops, my bad.
00:07:09What did Mr. Delaney want with you?
00:07:11It's none of your business.
00:07:14You're trying to worm your way into Mr. Delaney's what, huh?
00:07:17Dream on, virgin.
00:07:19You know nothing about my life.
00:07:22Do you even know what they say about Mr. Delaney?
00:07:26If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time fantasizing about a happily ever after with a man like him.
00:07:33There are stories about him you wouldn't even believe.
00:07:36And no woman's ever managed to get close to him.
00:07:39I'm not trying to.
00:07:40Good.
00:07:41If you did, you'd only end up hurting yourself.
00:07:55Why don't you tell me about this new job?
00:07:58You look exhausted.
00:08:00It's just a pizza parlor, Ethan.
00:08:03They stay open late.
00:08:06How are you feeling today?
00:08:09I hate this.
00:08:12I already cost you college, and now this, I mean, if it's my time to go, maybe we should just
00:08:21accept it.
00:08:21Hey, don't say that.
00:08:24You're all I have left.
00:08:26I will do whatever it takes to make sure you get better.
00:08:30For both of us.
00:08:31Sorry to interrupt.
00:08:33Bella, can we talk for a moment?
00:08:47What is it, doctor?
00:08:49It's urgent.
00:08:50Ethan needs intensive care as soon as possible.
00:08:53But if you can't find the funds by tomorrow, the hospital's going to have to let him go.
00:08:57Tomorrow?
00:09:00But I'm trying my best to pay the bills.
00:09:03I'm really sorry.
00:09:06Is there no one that you can ask to borrow from?
00:09:10Like your family?
00:09:12No.
00:09:13When my mom passed, my stepfather moved on.
00:09:17And he's taken everything.
00:09:19Money, the house.
00:09:21I'm sorry.
00:09:22I couldn't lend you.
00:09:23Thank you, Dr. Carlson, but you've already done enough.
00:09:32Don't worry.
00:09:34I'll figure something out.
00:09:44Hi.
00:09:45My name is Isabella Rivera, and I'm here to see Mr. Marcus Delaney.
00:09:51Do you have an appointment?
00:09:54Um, no, but he's waiting for me.
00:09:56He told me to come last night.
00:09:59No way.
00:09:59If I let any gold digger go see Mr. Delaney, I would lose my job.
00:10:04Gold digger?
00:10:04No, I'm not a gold digger.
00:10:07Hey!
00:10:08Let go of me!
00:10:10Let go!
00:10:12You need to leave.
00:10:14No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:24Fine.
00:10:25I'll wait outside.
00:10:27It's not like this day could get any worse.
00:10:37Mom.
00:10:38What am I gonna do?
00:10:40No!
00:10:42No, no, no!
00:10:46No, no, no, no.
00:10:55I don't know.
00:11:00What am I gonna do?
00:11:00It's not like this.
00:11:06No, no, no.
00:11:09No, no, no!
00:11:09No, no, no, no.
00:11:16Mr. Delaney, I thought you had left.
00:11:23You turned me down just a few hours ago, and now you're already back?
00:11:29Yeah, I...
00:11:31My kindness and my time comes at the cost.
00:11:41You're making me...
00:11:43What, unease or wet?
00:11:49Well.
00:11:51Why do you need to see me so urgently?
00:11:54Mr. Delaney, about your offer.
00:11:58To help me in exchange for my company.
00:12:02Is it still on the table?
00:12:04Yes, it is.
00:12:05What made you come back?
00:12:07My brother's...
00:12:10His medical bills are due today.
00:12:13I see.
00:12:14Money isn't an issue, but I need you to understand what you're stepping into.
00:12:18Becoming my sugar babe.
00:12:20I will owe your time and attention.
00:12:23Everything will be mine.
00:12:26I understand.
00:12:28I've made my decision, and I won't change it.
00:12:44I want you to stop working at the club.
00:12:57From now on, you only work for me.
00:13:00Of course, sir.
00:13:03I don't know how to thank you, or even begin to repay you.
00:13:08Well, we'll take this one step at a time.
00:13:10But I do have certain requirements.
00:13:13What requirements?
00:13:15Well, this is strictly going to be business.
00:13:21There will be a contract for you to sign.
00:13:24But for starters, I need to see your submission.
00:13:27What do you mean by submission?
00:13:30Is this an assignment?
00:13:32Yes.
00:13:34I'll bend over the desk.
00:13:37What?
00:13:38You want me to bend over?
00:13:40You heard me.
00:13:42People here respect my authority, and it's important that you do understand that as well.
00:13:47So he's the dominant type.
00:13:49Damn.
00:13:50That's kind of hot.
00:13:52But I can't let him think I'll just do anything he says.
00:13:56Come here.
00:14:09You would like it like this.
00:14:13Let's make something clear.
00:14:15I decide if I want to do this.
00:14:27That's enough.
00:14:28You passed the test.
00:14:35So, what am I supposed to be doing?
00:14:39Do I sleep with you?
00:14:41It's that bad.
00:14:44Relax.
00:14:46For now, we'll start with having dinner.
00:14:52But you need to change.
00:15:10Try this one on.
00:15:12Okay.
00:15:24Mr. Delaney?
00:15:31How do I look?
00:15:34Everyone will be looking at you.
00:15:54Wow.
00:15:56This place is...
00:15:57It's mine.
00:15:59It's one of many.
00:16:00I like the dinners here.
00:16:02This is yours, too?
00:16:05Jesus, do you own the entire city?
00:16:08There are stories about him you wouldn't even believe.
00:16:11And no woman's ever managed to get close to him.
00:16:13Have you ever been married?
00:16:16I find the whole concept of marriage and romance to be, uh...
00:16:22It complicates things.
00:16:23Being tied up to somebody can feel like a prison.
00:16:27But enough about me.
00:16:30Tell me more about yourself.
00:16:32You told me about your brother.
00:16:33What about the rest of your family?
00:16:35My dad died when I was young.
00:16:38And my mom...
00:16:41She passed away in a car accident a couple months ago.
00:16:45Then there's my stepdad, but he's a total asshole.
00:16:49You got a boyfriend?
00:16:51I don't have one.
00:16:53I've been too focused on other things.
00:16:57Like...
00:16:57Surviving.
00:16:59Certain pleasures in life can be pretty life-fulfilling.
00:17:04Do you like sex?
00:17:07I'm...
00:17:07I'm still a virgin.
00:17:10A virgin?
00:17:12Well, that's rare nowadays.
00:17:15What are you trying to say?
00:17:17Nothing.
00:17:19I'm willing to give you that if you want it.
00:17:22It's the only thing I have to pay you back with.
00:17:25How old are you?
00:17:2619? 20?
00:17:27You sound like you're from the last century.
00:17:31Stop making fun of me.
00:17:33No, I'm not.
00:17:35You remind me of somebody that I used to know.
00:17:38Really?
00:17:39Is that why you picked me?
00:17:41Harshly.
00:17:42I like your honesty.
00:17:43It's refreshing in a world where everybody likes to hide behind masks.
00:17:48It's...
00:17:49You should smile more.
00:17:51It makes you more attractive.
00:17:53That's something I expected to hear.
00:17:57Look, you don't need to worry about me.
00:17:59Our relationship will move at the pace that works for the both of us.
00:18:05Understood.
00:18:09I'm worried about my brother.
00:18:11Then let's go pay him a visit.
00:18:14You paid off the bills?
00:18:16How?
00:18:17Where'd you get the kind of money?
00:18:18You don't have to worry about that.
00:18:20Just focus on getting better and I'll handle everything else, okay?
00:18:25Yeah, Bella's right.
00:18:26Just focus on that.
00:18:28If you don't, you'll break her heart.
00:18:38All sorted?
00:18:40Yeah.
00:18:41They'll start Ethan's treatments as soon as possible.
00:18:47Where are we?
00:18:50Somewhere special to me.
00:18:52I always wanted to take someone with me, but I haven't got the chance.
00:18:55I didn't know you had such a romantic side, Mr. Delaney.
00:18:59Why don't you call me Marcus?
00:19:04I can't thank you enough for what you've done.
00:19:07You've saved my brother's life.
00:19:10I don't know how I could ever repay you.
00:19:12You know, you keep saying that.
00:19:14Do you want to repay me that badly or such as empty words?
00:19:27Let me show you, Daddy.
00:19:32I don't know what got into me.
00:19:34Why am I imagining my first night with him?
00:19:50Oh, that was unexpected.
00:19:53You got some practicing today.
00:19:56Was it really that bad?
00:19:58No, it was very...
00:20:00Very you.
00:20:04I gotta ask you something.
00:20:06What's that?
00:20:08When you think about our age difference of 16 years, it's not a whole.
00:20:14Older men are more charismatic.
00:20:19Where do you live?
00:20:22At a friend's place.
00:20:24My stepdad kicked me out of the house.
00:20:27From now on, you'll be living with me.
00:20:31Marcus, are you home?
00:21:23Marcus Delaney, accused of murder?
00:21:30What are you doing?
00:21:31The door was open.
00:21:33Mr. Delaney, I'm sorry, I saw your name.
00:21:35My past is not of your concern.
00:21:37Stay out of my office.
00:21:40Did you really?
00:21:42Hey, you have an agreement on me, nothing else.
00:21:46So stop asking about it.
00:21:49Right.
00:21:58Bella, you're coming with me to Gala tonight.
00:22:01You should go get ready.
00:22:16What's wrong?
00:22:18These people, for this place, it's just, it's a totally different world.
00:22:23You should be yourself, everything will be fine.
00:22:33See, you're doing great.
00:22:37All because of you.
00:22:42Oh, sharp as ever, sweetheart.
00:22:45Sweetheart?
00:22:46I see you never change, huh?
00:22:48Grace?
00:22:50I'm just having fun.
00:22:53Mrs. Isabella, she is my date.
00:22:57Hi, I'm Grace, Marcus' ex.
00:23:00You must be the stripper I've been hearing about.
00:23:06The stripper?
00:23:08I'm surprised they even let you in here.
00:23:10It's a very distinguished event.
00:23:13Not really a place for the dancers.
00:23:17Am I right?
00:23:20We don't have a ball here, sweetheart.
00:23:24It's time to go back to where you belong.
00:23:27Security!
00:23:31Hey!
00:23:31Boo!
00:23:32Hey!
00:23:33Let go of her.
00:23:36She's with me.
00:23:38And if anyone of you has a problem with that,
00:23:40you have to go through me.
00:23:42Your standards have really gone down, Marcus.
00:23:46I value Bella for who she is.
00:23:48Our past doesn't define us.
00:23:50Okay.
00:23:52But...
00:23:52Isn't that a little insulting to the rest of us?
00:23:57Think of your status, Marcus.
00:24:00This is beneath you.
00:24:05I've been called many things before.
00:24:07An arrogant, a liar, and even a murderer!
00:24:10And I've never given any of that a second thought.
00:24:14I have found myself...
00:24:17Attractive.
00:24:19Hopelessly attracted to someone who is very close to me.
00:24:23Very much so.
00:24:34Looks like you don't know him as well as you think you do, of course.
00:24:46Aren't you treating me a little too nicely, Marcus?
00:24:52What do you mean?
00:24:53This thing between us.
00:24:55Whatever it is, it won't last.
00:24:58I know it.
00:24:59You're a man with more experience than most, and I'm...
00:25:04To you, this is all just a game.
00:25:08Some harmless fun, but to me...
00:25:11I understand.
00:25:14But I've never expected anything from you.
00:25:16I told you that.
00:25:17I know you want me, Marcus.
00:25:21I can see it in the way you look at me.
00:25:23I'm not blind.
00:25:24I brought you here for a reason.
00:25:26I wanted to make things clear between the two of us.
00:25:31Yes, I would be lying if I would say that I don't crave you.
00:25:34But that's not all.
00:25:36I don't want you the way you think.
00:25:40Bella, I want you to be mine.
00:25:42I don't know what to say.
00:25:59I want your mind, body, and soul.
00:26:02Do you really want me, Marcus?
00:26:04Yes.
00:26:06Let's go.
00:26:07Where do we go?
00:26:09Home.
00:26:10I have a little surprise for you.
00:26:16Are you trying to be a bad girl tonight?
00:26:19Only for you.
00:26:21Do you know there's a price for being a bad girl, don't you?
00:26:25Oh, I do.
00:26:28But wouldn't it be more fun?
00:26:36You'll always obey me, won't you?
00:26:39Yes, sir.
00:26:43Good girl.
00:26:49I'm yours.
00:26:51Mind, body, and soul.
00:26:54No, Bella, that's not what I meant.
00:26:57You really don't get it, do you?
00:26:58You're just a blank page after all.
00:27:04No, Bella, wait.
00:27:07I'm sorry.
00:27:09Please sit down.
00:27:15How can you say that?
00:27:17You really don't know me.
00:27:19I'm not like the others.
00:27:20I have my own dreams.
00:27:23My own ambitions.
00:27:24Speak up, then.
00:27:25I want to know more about you.
00:27:27My mom was an incredible interior designer.
00:27:31She had this way of turning houses into homes.
00:27:35Places full of warmth and love.
00:27:39Is that what you want to do?
00:27:41Yeah.
00:27:43Before my brother got sick, I was studying at Parsons.
00:27:47I wanted to be just like her.
00:27:50Because...
00:27:51I grew up never knowing what it felt like to have a real home.
00:27:57And now, I've even lost the home she left behind.
00:28:01It's so unfair.
00:28:03I already lost my mother and my career.
00:28:06I can't lose my brother, too.
00:28:09Come here.
00:28:11I won't let that happen.
00:28:13I promise.
00:28:19Hey!
00:28:20Have you had dinner yet?
00:28:22I was thinking I could...
00:28:27Marcus!
00:28:29Marcus, can you hear me?
00:28:30The pills.
00:28:32Right there in the box.
00:28:51Don't worry about it.
00:28:52It's nothing serious.
00:28:54How long has this been going on?
00:28:56Have you been to the hospital?
00:28:57I don't have time for hospitals.
00:29:01Don't worry about it.
00:29:05Marcus, you didn't answer my question.
00:29:07How long have you been taking these painkillers?
00:29:11Stop interrogating me.
00:29:12I don't pay you for this.
00:29:14Marcus, don't shut me out.
00:29:16I might understand better than you think.
00:29:19How could you?
00:29:21Because I know how you feel.
00:29:24When my mother passed, I couldn't sleep.
00:29:28I had to rely heavily on sleeping pills.
00:29:31At first, they helped.
00:29:34But then, I got addicted.
00:29:36I started having trouble breathing and feeling like I was drowning even when I wasn't.
00:29:42Yeah.
00:29:43I had a family once.
00:29:46A wife and a beautiful daughter.
00:29:50You had a family?
00:29:52But I lost them.
00:29:54What happened?
00:29:56You can tell me, Marcus.
00:29:59Well, let's just say, it changed everything.
00:30:02I started working non-stop.
00:30:05Yeah.
00:30:06You know, no matter how much I worked, how much I earned, I just felt more alone.
00:30:13Like I could never have a family again.
00:30:16But you're not alone, Marcus.
00:30:19You have me.
00:30:21I know what we have is just an arrangement, but I can still be your family.
00:30:29I'm sorry if I said too much.
00:30:31Yes.
00:30:32Yeah, he did.
00:30:34And there's consequences for that.
00:31:01I need you to make me yours.
00:31:04Is that what you really want, Bill?
00:31:08I trust you, Marcus.
00:31:12I'm ready.
00:31:29I'm ready.
00:31:31Are you nervous?
00:31:33Long.
00:31:34Are you?
00:31:35I'll make you regret ever asking me that.
00:31:56You're mine.
00:31:59I'm yours.
00:32:01I'll be yours.
00:32:03I'll be yours.
00:32:05I'll be mine.
00:32:25Oh my god.
00:32:43Do you like a gift?
00:32:45Marcus, this is too much.
00:32:47I can't accept it.
00:32:49It isn't spoiling you, my child.
00:32:52Thank you, but...
00:32:54Take it for a spin. Have fun with it.
00:32:58Okay.
00:32:59I'm swinging by my old house to grab you from some headphones.
00:33:03I'll see you tonight.
00:33:08Come on.
00:33:15There it is.
00:33:18What are you doing here, Sam?
00:33:20Shouldn't you show a little respect to your dad, kid?
00:33:23You're not my dad, and this is not your house.
00:33:27You have no right to be here.
00:33:33Then how come I have these, huh?
00:33:36Because you stole them from my mom.
00:33:38This house belongs to Ethan and I.
00:33:41Don't make me laugh.
00:33:42Your mother's probably rolling around in her grave knowing her daughter is a stripper, a tramp, and a thief.
00:33:48What are you talking about?
00:33:49What?
00:33:50The Rolex she gave me.
00:33:51It's gone missing.
00:33:53I think you took it.
00:33:57That's ridiculous.
00:33:58I haven't even been home lately.
00:34:00Why don't you ask your new girlfriend, not me?
00:34:04Look, I know you don't like her.
00:34:05But your mother's been gone for months.
00:34:08A man's gotta move on.
00:34:10I have needs.
00:34:12Move on?
00:34:12You moved on long before mom died.
00:34:16She gave you everything.
00:34:18And you were never there for her when she needed you to be.
00:34:21You ungrateful asshole!
00:34:24How dare you, you fucking bitch!
00:34:26Hey!
00:34:28Let her go.
00:34:33Who are you?
00:34:34Marcus Delany.
00:34:35That's ridiculous.
00:34:37Why would the richest man in town be standing up for this slut?
00:34:40Hey, one more word about her and I'll make sure it'll be your last.
00:34:45You're dead?
00:34:46Yes, sir.
00:34:47No, sir.
00:34:48Get out.
00:34:49Get out of here!
00:34:53Hey.
00:34:55You okay?
00:34:58I'm fine.
00:34:59Thank you for stepping in.
00:35:02How did you find me?
00:35:05You told me you were coming here.
00:35:07But I didn't tell you where it was.
00:35:10Did you?
00:35:12Are you following me?
00:35:17I just know you.
00:35:19You're my baby and I want to make sure that you're safe.
00:35:24What's wrong?
00:35:28No one's cared about me like this.
00:35:32Not since mom.
00:35:35Sam didn't deserve her.
00:35:37When he first came into our lives, he was perfect.
00:35:40He was kind, supportive.
00:35:43Mom thought she was finally going to have the family she always dreamed of.
00:35:48But then after they got married, everything changed.
00:35:53I saw you slapped him.
00:35:56I don't, I don't usually, I don't know what got into me. I just, I got so angry.
00:36:02No, no, no. You did what needed to be done.
00:36:05It's good.
00:36:07But honestly, it was a, it was a turnout to me.
00:36:12Are you teasing me?
00:36:15Don't be silly.
00:36:16How about we get those headphones to Ethan now?
00:36:19You want to come to the hospital with me?
00:36:25Bella, what's going on?
00:36:27This is Mr. Delaney, Ethan. He's my...
00:36:31I'm her new boss. Nice to meet you, Ethan.
00:36:35New boss? From the pizza place?
00:36:39Well, I guess I like to make things cheesy.
00:36:42That was terrible.
00:36:45Well, here, just something a little to help your recovery.
00:36:50I hope they'll do some good.
00:36:58Thank you, Mr. Delaney.
00:37:01Call me Marcus.
00:37:03Oh, Marcus, you must be some special bonus.
00:37:06Bella's never brought anyone to see me before.
00:37:08Ethan!
00:37:10Marcus is just really supportive. That's all.
00:37:14Well, your sister told me a lot about you.
00:37:16Keep chasing that dream of becoming a musician.
00:37:18I will once I get out of here.
00:37:21Well, I got some work to manage.
00:37:23I'll leave you two to catch up.
00:37:25If you need a ride home, call Jason.
00:37:29Seems like a good guy.
00:37:37I hope we get plenty of rest. We're flying to Dubai this afternoon.
00:37:41Dubai? Today?
00:37:43I have a meeting with a new business partner tomorrow.
00:37:45I want you to come with me.
00:37:48And don't forget to pack the gallons that I got you.
00:37:51There will be some important events to attend.
00:37:54But my passport has expired.
00:37:56Not anymore. I took care of it.
00:37:58You did?
00:37:58Yeah, there's nothing I can do.
00:38:02Prepare the luggage.
00:38:09You don't own this place too, do you?
00:38:13Mr. Delaney, ma'am?
00:38:18I usually stay at my own hotels when I travel.
00:38:25You should start getting used to that.
00:38:28Listen, I gotta go take care of something quick.
00:38:30I'll be right back.
00:38:36Well, well. If it isn't Marcus's newest little plaything.
00:38:41What are you doing here?
00:38:43Didn't Marcus tell you?
00:38:45He came all the way here for me.
00:38:49For you?
00:38:50He wanted to come alone, but I insisted he bring you along.
00:38:54But we'll always have our own little secrets that he'll never tell you about though.
00:39:00What are you talking about?
00:39:02I don't believe you.
00:39:04Because I know what he needs.
00:39:07He may be all over you for now, but a guy like that will never end up with a girl
00:39:12like you.
00:39:18Isn't that right?
00:39:20Let's keep this professional.
00:39:22We're business partner only. Nothing else.
00:39:24She must be lying. Trying to get under my skin.
00:39:27I won't let this happen.
00:39:30Whatever you say.
00:39:32But it would be good if Bella could give us a moment alone.
00:39:36That business proposal I mentioned is highly confidential.
00:39:40You don't mind today.
00:39:45Fine. I'll go.
00:39:54We'll pick this up later.
00:39:56Don't keep me waiting.
00:39:58I won't.
00:40:07Drink, please.
00:40:11Hey.
00:40:13What's going on?
00:40:15How was your meeting with your partner?
00:40:18What? You jealous?
00:40:20Jealous?
00:40:21Why would I be jealous?
00:40:23It's just business, right?
00:40:25Just like us.
00:40:26What we have is just a contract, an agreement.
00:40:29Mr. Glenn?
00:40:32And Bella.
00:40:33Look at me.
00:40:34I need you to understand one thing.
00:40:36You mean to me a lot more than she ever did.
00:40:40She's my past.
00:40:42You're my present.
00:40:44But your past.
00:40:46Like, why is your past so complicated?
00:40:53It's Dr. Carlson.
00:40:56Hey.
00:40:57Doctor, is everything okay?
00:41:02What?
00:41:04Ethan's in the ICU.
00:41:15Ethan, please.
00:41:18Welcome back to me.
00:41:24How's Ethan doing?
00:41:26I'm not sure.
00:41:28But it's not looking good.
00:41:31Everything will be alright.
00:41:33I'm still tied up in Dubai, but I'll be there as soon as I can.
00:41:37Okay.
00:41:41Doctor, what's going on with Ethan?
00:41:43His cranial pressure spiked.
00:41:44Now we're doing everything we can to stabilize him, but it's critical right now.
00:41:48Can I see him?
00:41:49No, not yet.
00:41:50We can't allow visitors in right now, not with the condition he said.
00:41:54Please.
00:41:55Doctor, there must be something we can do.
00:41:58We're considering a specialized intubation procedure.
00:42:01It's meant to relieve the pressure by draining the excess cerebral spinal fluid.
00:42:04But there are risks.
00:42:08What kinds of risks?
00:42:11Infection.
00:42:12Bleeding.
00:42:13Even further brain damage.
00:42:22If it works, it could significantly improve his condition.
00:42:26The success rate is promising, but it's not guaranteed.
00:42:32And the cost?
00:42:35It's expensive.
00:42:37I don't know if Ethan's insurance will cover it.
00:42:41I need some air.
00:42:43Um, I know a place.
00:42:45Follow me.
00:42:57I see why you come here when you're stressed.
00:43:00Yeah.
00:43:01Sometimes you need a break from all the chaos happening downstairs.
00:43:04Yeah, I can imagine.
00:43:07It must take a toll on you after a while.
00:43:10Yeah, I mean it does, but I don't regret a second of it.
00:43:15Why's that?
00:43:16Oh, I mean, people think that we're working so hard just to try to prevent the inevitable.
00:43:23But, I mean, when the time comes, my job has one thing different than any other job.
00:43:30What is that?
00:43:33Hope.
00:43:34We bring hope.
00:43:36People...
00:43:39People need that, Bella.
00:43:41We want to believe that it's not the end and that they're going to be saved and...
00:43:46I mean, sometimes we can do that.
00:43:49That must be a heavy weight to carry.
00:43:53I mean, it's not always easy.
00:43:56But when I can, like, help my patients see the joy and relief on their face, I mean...
00:44:03That makes it worth it.
00:44:05Must be beautiful.
00:44:07I understand what you're going through.
00:44:10No, like, trust me, I've been there.
00:44:14But I know Ethan is going to be fine.
00:44:19Well, let's hope you're right.
00:44:25Uh, I was wanting to ask you something.
00:44:28Who's that older gentleman that you've been hanging out with?
00:44:32What's your relationship with him?
00:44:37He's actually the one that's been helping me with the costs.
00:44:41Oh.
00:44:42Yeah.
00:44:44Ethan mentioned him.
00:44:46Say he's a great guy.
00:44:48Yeah.
00:44:49Um, speaking of Ethan...
00:44:52What do you think I should do about him?
00:44:55Um...
00:44:57I mean...
00:44:59He has a rare condition.
00:45:00The operation I mentioned is risky, but...
00:45:03I mean, I think it's our best choice.
00:45:07I think the best way of moving forward is to take a calculated risk.
00:45:12I see.
00:45:14I guess I have no other choice, then.
00:45:17I have to figure out a way to pay for everything.
00:45:24I can help you if you ever need anything.
00:45:31Uh, bring the luggage to the bedroom.
00:45:33You got it, boss.
00:45:38How's Ethan?
00:45:39Have you made your decision about the operation yet?
00:45:43Yes.
00:45:44We're moving forward with the surgery.
00:45:46Good.
00:45:47I'm sure he'll be alright, Bella.
00:45:50Thanks.
00:45:53There's...
00:45:53also something...
00:45:55I know what's on your mind.
00:45:58Don't worry about the money.
00:46:00Everything will be taken care of.
00:46:02But it's really expensive.
00:46:04I'll do anything for Ethan as long as it makes you happy.
00:46:08Besides, it's nothing compared to what you have done for me.
00:46:10My headaches after all of these years are finally getting better.
00:46:14And it's all because of you.
00:46:16I'm really glad to hear that.
00:46:19I can't thank you enough for what you've done for me.
00:46:22And for Ethan.
00:46:24Let's get out of here.
00:46:25We need to relax a little bit.
00:46:28Where are we going?
00:46:30Somewhere in front.
00:46:40Mr. Delaney.
00:46:43Hi.
00:46:49Ever played pool before?
00:46:51Yes, but I wouldn't say no to a refresher from someone as handsome as you.
00:47:01There we go.
00:47:02Marcus...
00:47:03There are other people here.
00:47:04It's okay.
00:47:05Let them watch.
00:47:07Put your hand in the front.
00:47:09Get low.
00:47:10And really look at the ball.
00:47:17Nice shot.
00:47:19It's your time to impress me.
00:47:24What this?
00:47:45Interesting.
00:48:11Oh, someone is all wet.
00:48:15We better do something about that.
00:48:25What's all this?
00:48:28This is the fun I was talking about.
00:48:37I don't... I don't know about this.
00:48:40Think of it as a role play.
00:48:42An open out there.
00:48:44We'll help you get into character.
00:48:47You want me.
00:48:49And I want you.
00:48:54Just let go.
00:48:58This is about you, Max.
00:49:03To free up that part of you that has been held back for soul.
00:49:24You were right.
00:49:26It does help.
00:49:28What do you think?
00:49:30Don't go mad if anyone else sees how sexy you look right now.
00:49:41You hear me?
00:49:44Yes.
00:49:46You hear me?
00:49:49Yes.
00:49:54I don't know.
00:49:55It does help.
00:49:56You're right.
00:50:03Come on for me.
00:50:03If you want to do it.
00:50:10You're right.
00:50:11You're right.
00:50:12I'm doing enough.
00:50:13You're right.
00:50:15I'm doing enough.
00:50:17You're going to do traffic.
00:50:45I want more.
00:50:47Then beg for it nicely.
00:50:51Please.
00:50:54Then beg for it nicely.
00:50:57Please.
00:50:59Sir?
00:51:00I want more.
00:51:17I want more.
00:51:19I want more.
00:51:21I want more.
00:51:24I want more.
00:51:26I want more.
00:51:27I want more.
00:51:52Hey, um, okay, so I have some good news.
00:51:55Now, you may not be able to see Ethan yet, but he's showing strong signs of improvement.
00:52:01Thank you for telling me this.
00:52:04You don't know how much this means to me.
00:52:07Also, I got you something.
00:52:10I noticed how you're always sketching with random pieces of paper when you're here with Ethan,
00:52:15so I thought you might find this useful.
00:52:18I didn't think you would have noticed that.
00:52:21Uh, call me Will.
00:52:23I do have an identity outside of the hospital, you know?
00:52:27You do look kinda cute when you're not in scrubs.
00:52:32He's so different from Marcus.
00:52:34Simple, straightforward, and kind.
00:52:37The type of guy I always thought I would date.
00:52:40Hmmmmmm.
00:52:48Oh shit.
00:52:52Is everything okay?
00:52:54No. No, it's not.
00:52:57Jenny!
00:52:59Why, hello there.
00:53:00If it isn't this Bella Rivera, the new gold digger in town.
00:53:04You posted these photos, didn't you?
00:53:07I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:53:09You were the only one that knew I was in a private room with Marcus.
00:53:13So, do you have any proof?
00:53:15No?
00:53:16Then move along.
00:53:17Some of us have to work for a living.
00:53:20Honestly, I don't even understand what's got you so worked up.
00:53:23You know it's true, don't you?
00:53:26Are you really that naive to think Marcus is serious about you?
00:53:32You're just a replacement for his ex-wife.
00:53:35What?
00:53:36See for yourself.
00:53:43Go ask your beloved Marcus.
00:53:47No, it can't be.
00:53:50Stand up.
00:53:51Don't let them see you this way.
00:53:55You remind me of somebody that I used to know.
00:53:59God, you are so pathetic.
00:54:01Even I feel sorry for you.
00:54:04Fine.
00:54:05I'll tell you her name.
00:54:08Lindsay Delaney.
00:54:10It's not like it's a secret.
00:54:11The Delanys were famous.
00:54:13And she was the love of his life.
00:54:35Mafia?
00:54:37This has ties to the Mafia?
00:54:44Where were you, really?
00:54:48Lindsay?
00:54:52Lindsay?
00:55:06I've been trying to call you.
00:55:08Why did you pick up?
00:55:09No reason.
00:55:10I was just in the bathroom.
00:55:13You okay?
00:55:14Michelle?
00:55:15I'm fine.
00:55:17I'm just a little distracted, I guess.
00:55:21It's about Ethan, isn't it?
00:55:23Don't worry, Gunnar.
00:55:24He's going to be okay.
00:55:26Yeah, I know.
00:55:29So, um, why are you calling?
00:55:32I need you to come to your mother's house.
00:55:36My mom's house?
00:55:39Let go of me.
00:55:40Let go of me.
00:55:40Don't fucking move.
00:55:41Let go of me.
00:55:47What's going on?
00:55:48We're here to settle some long overdue matters with Elkhart.
00:55:51Hey, it's time the truth came out.
00:55:53What the fuck are you doing in my house?
00:55:55Your house?
00:55:57This document proves your years of infidelity and financial misconduct.
00:56:03It shows your embezzlement of funds that rightfully belong to Itavela and Ethan Rivera.
00:56:14How could you?
00:56:16Mom trusted you and you betrayed her.
00:56:19I didn't do it.
00:56:20Mr. Elkhart, I don't think you could deny this any further.
00:56:25Marcus, how did you know about all this?
00:56:28I promised you it helped, didn't I?
00:56:31This is total bullshit!
00:56:33You have no fucking proof!
00:56:35You have no right to treat me this way!
00:56:38Get the fuck out of my house!
00:56:41Marcus, who is he?
00:56:43They work for me.
00:56:44You're relinquency control of your property, Mr. Elkhart.
00:56:48Sign the contract.
00:56:50I'm not fucking signing anything!
00:56:53You'll want to reconsider that, Sam.
00:56:55I'm doing you a favor.
00:56:57Sign it!
00:56:59Well, let's just say the consequences won't be as pretty.
00:57:02How does Marcus have all this power?
00:57:06Is it because of his mafia connections?
00:57:09They'll handle the rest.
00:57:11Let's get out of here.
00:57:12Let's do something else.
00:57:39You're welcome.
00:57:41Let's do something else.
00:57:43that's helpful. Thank you for saving my house. Ethan's gonna be so happy to hear
00:57:51it. How did you even manage that? I mean, it must have been hard to find all those
00:57:56documents. Let the past be the past. Let's not talk about it anymore and just relax.
00:58:11It seems like part of you isn't relaxed enough. You're blaming? Just like that.
00:59:01I'm sorry.
00:59:22you seem distracted what's going on this isn't just about Ethan now is it
00:59:29there's there's been some talk about us you know I couldn't care less about that
00:59:34and I hope you don't either I found out about Lindsay so we found out I know I'm not supposed
00:59:46to ask this but did you kill someone no but I tried to wasn't and why his name was his
01:00:02name was Julian
01:00:04he's been a thorn in my side for many years he set up a car crash trying to kill me
01:00:10but instead he
01:00:13instead of killing me he killed Lindsay and Maya I wanted to destroy this guy so much I wanted to
01:00:25kill
01:00:28they used to kick her and you're gonna laugh when you hear this the only damn reason I didn't kill
01:00:34him
01:00:34is because I found out he has a there's a daughter five-year-old daughter just like mine
01:00:45and I couldn't do that to her so I
01:00:52I stepped away that was the hardest thing I had to do just let it go
01:01:00I'm sorry Marcus I didn't mean to bring back painful memories
01:01:06it's okay is that what's been bothering you thinking that I'm dangerous maybe
01:01:19there's also some other things what else when you look at me who do you see Bella or Lindsay
01:01:33I saw a photo of her and I look just like her now I know why you stared at me
01:01:40like that the first time
01:01:41we met and when I came out of the fitting room it's that's why you picked me isn't it you've
01:01:49been so
01:01:49nice to me because I remind you of her I'm just a replacement to you it's true you're right
01:01:59I mean the first time I saw you there was so much to Lindsay was uncanny I he caught me
01:02:08by surprise
01:02:08it brought up some memories I didn't want to face
01:02:19but the more I got to know you I started realizing that

01:05:17Who the fuck are you?
01:05:20Someone with a common interest.
01:05:22I heard you lost everything because of a certain stripper.
01:05:26Yeah, my Dollar Belle fucking bitch.
01:05:30Consider this a gift to help you get back what you rightfully deserve.
01:05:35I assume you'll use it well?
01:05:39I know exactly what to do with it.
01:05:47Hi!
01:05:49Uh, is it okay to visit Ethan today?
01:05:52Ethan, um...
01:05:54We don't have a patient here by that name.
01:05:57What?
01:05:58Dr. Carlson.
01:06:01Will, where's Ethan?
01:06:03Ethan's fine. Calm down.
01:06:04He's moved to a regular ward now that he's more stable.
01:06:07God, really?
01:06:09Yes, of course.
01:06:11Can I go see him?
01:06:13Yes, of course.
01:06:20You should try talking to him.
01:06:23Some patients start showing better signs when they hear a familiar voice.
01:06:27Hey, Ethan.
01:06:30It's Bella.
01:06:32I was thinking about that one time the other day, on Halloween, when you saved all the candy
01:06:38corn because you knew it was my favorite.
01:06:41And at the ATH concert, I think that was the first time I saw you smile since Mom passed.
01:06:51Ethan, I don't want you to become just another memory.
01:06:55There's still so much I want to do with you and I need you to come back.
01:07:06What can you tell us about her metaphor?
01:07:09When she was born to-
01:07:10Mr. Vera, is it true you're with Marcus Delaney for his inheritance?
01:07:13Any comments on your past as a stripper?
01:07:15Where's your brother?
01:07:16Can we talk to him?
01:07:17Okay, stop, stop, stop.
01:07:19Stay close to me.
01:07:21Is that your true?
01:07:23We shouldn't get close.
01:07:23Two seconds.
01:07:24I mean, come on.
01:07:25Please tell us.
01:07:26This is as much as you've heard it is.
01:07:28Is there a ring in your future?
01:07:30How do you feel about this?
01:07:31How do you feel about this?
01:07:31Yes.
01:07:31Maybe these are fakers.
01:07:32Maybe you need a faker.
01:07:33Are you a real doctor?
01:07:37Shh.
01:07:39We should be good here.
01:07:43Where are they?
01:07:55We should be good here.
01:07:58I'm sorry.
01:07:59I didn't think they'd follow me all the way to the hospital.
01:08:02Don't apologize. It's not your fault.
01:08:04I can't imagine the pressure of being with someone so popular.
01:08:11He's... he's been helpful to me.
01:08:14You already have so much on your plate. You shouldn't take on more.
01:08:20Well...
01:08:21I don't want to be just Dr. Carlson to you anymore.
01:08:27I feel like you already know this, but...
01:08:30I found for you, Bella.
01:08:35I... I don't know what to say.
01:08:37Oh, you don't have to say anything.
01:08:40I just wanted to tell you how I feel.
01:08:46What should I do about Marcus?
01:08:48I wouldn't even have this house back if it weren't for him.
01:08:51But with Will, everything just feels so easy.
01:08:59How did they find me?
01:09:05Where the hell have you been? I've been trying to reach you all day.
01:09:09Listen to me. You don't disappear on me without an explanation.
01:09:14I'm sorry. I had to wait for the paparazzi to leave my mom's house.
01:09:20Well, they followed you.
01:09:21They're everywhere. They even went to the hospital.
01:09:26Come here. Sit down.
01:09:30I'll have Jason handle it. They won't bother you anymore.
01:09:36Where's Ethan?
01:09:39He got out of the ICU.
01:09:42And the surgery is in two days.
01:09:46I have an important meeting that day.
01:09:49But I'll try to be there as soon as I can.
01:09:53That's okay. You don't have to.
01:09:56No, I won't to.
01:10:06The surgery was successful. Ethan pulled through greatly.
01:10:09That's amazing!
01:10:10He's unconscious right now, but you can see him already.
01:10:18Ethan, it's Bella.
01:10:20Thank you for being so strong.
01:10:25Bella? Bella!
01:10:28Bella, what's wrong?
01:10:31I don't know.
01:10:33Just to see.
01:10:34Yeah, because you've been working yourself so much.
01:10:37What the hell is going on around here?
01:10:39Marcus, no!
01:10:44Mr. Delaney, resume.
01:10:47Get your hands off her. She's mine.
01:10:50She's yours.
01:10:52When did she ever become yours?
01:10:54I'm going to say this one last time.
01:10:56She belongs to me.
01:10:58Wait, this is unbelievable.
01:10:59She's going through so much, and all you're thinking about is trying to control her?
01:11:04I wasn't sure about it at first, but now I'm certain.
01:11:07You're bad for her.
01:11:09Bella?
01:11:11Ethan, I'm here.
01:11:12How are you feeling?
01:11:15I can't breathe.
01:11:16Yeah, no, it's because you just went through a major surgery, alright?
01:11:19You're okay. It's just going to take some time to adjust.
01:11:24You're doing great, Ethan.
01:11:33Hey, you said there was something you wanted to talk to me about?
01:11:36I want to terminate our contract.
01:11:42Why?
01:11:43Is this about what happened with Will, Dr. Carlson?
01:11:48No.
01:11:49I want you to be free.
01:11:51Especially now since Ethan's condition is improving.
01:11:54I don't want you to be bound by this contract any longer.
01:12:06So, you're not jealous?
01:12:10Yes and no.
01:12:12I think it's time that we reassess what we are.
01:12:39I hope I can see you again, Mr. Delaney.
01:12:43Thank you for everything you've done for me.
01:12:46And for Ethan.
01:12:50Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:12:52I'm not finished.
01:12:55I...
01:12:56Now since the contract is over, there's something I need to tell you.
01:13:04Bella.
01:13:05I love you.
01:13:06And I want a future with you.
01:13:17What did she say?
01:13:19Damn it, Bella. I said I love you.
01:13:23And it's not because of Lindsay.
01:13:25Or the damn contract.
01:13:27It's because of who you are.
01:13:29You changed my life.
01:13:30And I want to spend the rest of it with you.
01:13:34But you made it clear it was just a deal between us.
01:13:38You said you didn't believe in love.
01:13:40Yeah.
01:13:42For the longest time I thought love would make me weak.
01:13:45But then you came along and...
01:13:47You showed me that we can be...
01:13:49It can make us stronger together.
01:13:52I'm ready to fully commit to this.
01:13:55To us.
01:13:57Bella be mine.
01:14:00I don't know.
01:14:02Marcus, this is just...
01:14:03So sudden.
01:14:05I need time to figure things out.
01:14:09But...
01:14:10Yeah, I understand.
01:14:13Take all the time you need.
01:14:15Just like the first time when I brought up the deal.
01:14:18And if you choose to be with Dr. Carlson over there, I...
01:14:22But there's one thing I want you to know.
01:14:26I want to protect you for the rest of my life.
01:14:29I'm serious about that.
01:14:44You took everything from me!
01:14:46To the end...
01:14:52Bell!
01:14:57Are you alright?
01:14:59Why are you so fucking persistent?!
01:15:05Ah!
01:15:06Marcus! Marcus, are you okay?
01:15:09Yes, I'm fine.
01:15:14Marcus!
01:15:16Are you okay?
01:15:17Help! Please!
01:15:29Marcus.
01:15:31How are you feeling?
01:15:33I'm alright.
01:15:34I can't believe you did that.
01:15:38I'll do it again.
01:15:40I'll do anything to keep you safe.
01:15:44Marcus, I have to tell you something.
01:15:47About what you said before.
01:15:49I love you, Marcus.
01:15:53There was never going to be somebody else.
01:15:56It was always going to be you.
01:16:09I may not be able to walk again.
01:16:12I'll love you no matter what.
01:16:28I feel so good now that Sam's in jail.
01:16:30You still need to be careful though.
01:16:33Will only agreed to let you come home as a trial, remember?
01:16:35I know, I know, it's just we're here, the home we grew up in.
01:16:40This is going to do a lot of good for me, okay?
01:16:42I know it, I feel it.
01:16:44Hey, did you hear Julian Levine got arrested too?
01:16:47Yeah, Marcus told me.
01:16:49They finally got enough evidence against him.
01:16:52It's a good thing, Marcus's legacy did.
01:16:56It's a item for me, okay?
01:16:58I will.
01:17:12Marcus, what is all this?
01:17:13This is your new office.
01:17:16Your own interior design studio.
01:17:22Marcus, I can't believe it.
01:17:27May I propose another contract?
01:17:30One that proves my undying love for you.
01:17:35Isabella, Rivera, would you marry me?
01:17:40Oh my god, yes, I will.
01:17:46This must be my life.
01:17:54I've been dreaming of you.
