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.
00:04:37Like,
00:04:38I am so excited.
00:04:39I will.
00:04:41Like,
00:04:43I will.
00:04:43And maybe.
00:04:53One, two, three, four...
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.
00:07:14Trying 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.
00:08:07How are you feeling today?
00:08:09I hate this.
00:08:12I already cost you college, and now this, I'm in.
00:08:16If it's my time to go, maybe we should just accept 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.
00:09:04I'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 could 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.
00:09:45My 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.
00:10:03Gold digger?
00:10:04No, I'm not a gold digger.
00:10:07Hey, let go of me.
00:10:10Let go.
00:10:12You need to leave.
00:10:14I need to leave.
00:10:24Fine.
00:10:25I'll wait outside.
00:10:27It's not like this day could get any worse.
00:10:37Mom, what am I going to do?
00:10:41Mom, what am I going to do?
00:10:41What am I going to do?
00:10:50No, I didn't.
00:10:59She's.
00:11:01She's it.
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?
00:11:30Yeah, I...
00:11:31My kindness and my time comes at the cost.
00:11:42You're making me...
00:11:43What?
00:11:45Unease or wet?
00:11:49Well.
00:11:51Why do you need to see me so urgently?
00:11:55Mr. 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...
00:12:09His 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.
00:12:19I will own your time and attention.
00:12:23Everything will be mine.
00:12:26I understand.
00:12:27I've made my decision, and I won't change it.
00:12:44Here's something to start with.
00:12:46That should be enough to cover the bills for now.
00:12:49There's more if you perform well.
00:12:52Mr. Delaney, this is more than I need.
00:12:55I 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.
00:13:05Or 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?
00:13:16Well...
00:13:17This is strictly going to be business.
00:13:21It will be a contract for you to sign.
00:13:24But for starters, I need to see your submission.
00:13:28What do you mean by submission?
00:13:31Is this an assignment?
00:13:32Yes.
00:13:34Now bend over the desk.
00:13:37What?
00:13:39You want me to bend over?
00:13:41You heard me.
00:13:42People here respect my authority.
00:13:43And it's important that you do understand that as well.
00:13:46So 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 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.
00:14:29You passed the test.
00:14:35So, what am I supposed to be doing?
00:14:39Do I sleep with you?
00:14:42It's not bad.
00:14:44Relax.
00:14:46For now, we'll start with having dinner.
00:14:52But I need to change.
00:15:10Try this one on.
00:15:12Okay.
00:15:14Okay.
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.
00:15:58It'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?
00:16:36My 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.
00:17:34You 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.
00:17:44In a world where everybody likes to hide behind...
00:17:48masks, it'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?
00:19:50You know, that was unexpected.
00:19:53You got some practicing today.
00:19:56Was it really that bad?
00:19:58No, it was very...very you. I've got to 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. My stepdad kicked me out of the house.
00:20:27From now on, you'll be living with me.
00:20:32Marcus? Are you home?
00:21:22Marcus Delaney accused of murder?
00:21:30What are you doing?
00:21:31The door was open. Mr. Delaney, I'm sorry. I saw your name.
00:21:35My past is not of your concern. Stay out of my office.
00:21:40Did you really...?
00:21:42Hey, you have an agreement for me. Nothing else. So stop asking about it.
00:21:49Right.
00:21:59You're coming with me to a gala tonight. You should go get ready.
00:22:15What's wrong?
00:22:18These people. This place. It's just...it's a whole different world.
00:22:23You should be yourself. Everything will be fine.
00:22:36See, you're doing great.
00:22:38All because of you.
00:22:40Oh. Sharp as ever, sweetheart.
00:22:45Sweetheart?
00:22:46I see you never change, huh? Grace?
00:22:49I'm just having fun.
00:22:53Mrs. Isabella. She is my date.
00:22:57Hi, I'm Grace. Marcus' ex.
00:23:01You 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, Boob!
00:23:32Hey! Let go of her.
00:23:36She's with me.
00:23:38And if any one of you has a problem with that,
00:23:40you have to go through me.
00:23:42Your standards have really gone down, Marcus.
00:23:47I value Bella for who she is.
00:23:48I will pass this and define us.
00:23:50Okay.
00:23:51But...
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...
00:25:03To you...
00:25:05This is all just...
00:25:07A game.
00:25:08Some harmless fun.
00:25:09But to me...
00:25:10I 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.
00:25:20I 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.
00:25:30Yes.
00:25:31I 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 you mine, 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.
00:26:44Good 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, my 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 I 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.
00:28:50Marcus.
00:28:51Don't worry about it.
00:28:52It's nothing serious.
00:28:54Marcus, how long has this been going on?
00:28:56Have you been to the hospital?
00:28:58I 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.
00:29:32At first, they helped, but 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 nonstop.
00:30:05Yeah.
00:30:07You know, no matter how much I worked,
00:30:09how much I earned,
00:30:11I 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...
00:30:25I can still be your family.
00:30:29I'm sorry if I said too much.
00:30:32Yeah, you 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, Belle?
00:31:08I trust you, Marcus.
00:31:12I'm ready.
00:31:31Are you yours?
00:31:33No.
00:31:34Are you?
00:31:35I'll make you regret ever asking me that.
00:31:57You're mine.
00:31:59I'm yours.
00:32:01I'm all yours.
00:32:02I'm yours.
00:32:06You're mine.
00:32:07I'm yours.
00:32:07I want to go.
00:32:08You're mine.
00:32:09I'm yours.
00:32:25Oh my god
00:32:43Do you like a gift?
00:32:45Marcus, this is too much. I can't accept it.
00:32:49It isn't spoiling me on the job.
00:32:52Thank you, but...
00:32:54Take it for a spin. Have fun with it.
00:32:59Okay. I'm swinging by my old house to grab you from some headphones. I'll see you tonight.
00:33:06Oh my god.
00:33:14Oh, there 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. You have no right to be here.
00:33:33Then how come I have these, huh?
00:33:36Because you stole them from my mom.
00:33:38Mom, this house belongs to Ethan and I.
00:33:41Don't make me laugh. Your mother's probably rolling around in her grave knowing her daughter is a stripper, a tramp,
00:33:47and a thief.
00:33:48What are you talking about?
00:33:50The Rolex she gave me. It's gone missing. I think you took it.
00:33:57That's ridiculous. I haven't even been home lately. Why don't you ask your new girlfriend, not me?
00:34:04Look, I know you don't like her, but your mother's been gone for months. A man's got to move on.
00:34:10I have needs.
00:34:12Move on? You moved on long before mom died. She gave you everything, and you were never there for her
00:34:19when she needed you to be.
00:34:21You ungrateful asshole!
00:34:24How dare you, you fucking bitch!
00:34:26Shit!
00:34:26Hey!
00:34:28Let her go.
00:34:33Who, who are you?
00:34:34Marcus Delaney.
00:34:35That's ridiculous. Why would the richest man in town be standing up for this slut?
00:34:41Hey, one more word about her, and I'll make sure it'll be her last.
00:34:45You're dead!
00:34:46You're dead!
00:34:47Yes, sir.
00:34:47No, sir.
00:34:48Get out.
00:34:49Get out.
00:34:49Get out of here!
00:34:53Hey, are you okay?
00:34:57I'm fine. Thank you for stepping in. How did you find me?
00:35:05You told me you were coming here.
00:35:07But I didn't tell you where it was. Did you? Are you following me?
00:35:17I just know you. You're my baby, and I want to make sure that you're safe. What's wrong?
00:35:26No. No one's cared about me like this. Not since Mom. Sam didn't deserve her. When he first came into
00:35:38our lives, he was perfect. He was kind, supportive. Mom thought she was finally going to have the family she
00:35:46always dreamed of. But 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. It's good. But honestly, it was a... It was a
00:36:11turnout to me.
00:36:13Are you teasing me?
00:36:15Don't be silly. How about we get those headphones to Ethan now?
00:36:18You 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 boss.
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.
00:37:29Sounds like a good guy.
00:37:36I hope we get plenty of rest. We're flying to Dubai this afternoon.
00:37:40Dubai?
00:37:42Today?
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.
00:37:53But my passport is expired.
00:37:56Not anymore.
00:37:57I took care of it.
00:37:58You did?
00:37:59Yeah, there's nothing I can do.
00:38:02Repair 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.
00:38:37If it isn't Marcus's news, 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.
00:39:23Nothing else.
00:39:25She must be lying.
00:39:26Trying 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.
00:39:41You don't mind saying?
00:39:44Fine.
00:39:46I'll go.
00:39:50I'll go.
00:39:55We'll pick this up later.
00:39:57Don't keep me waiting.
00:39:58I won't.
00:40:08Drink please.
00:40:11Hey.
00:40:13What's going on?
00:40:15How was your meeting with your partner?
00:40:18What?
00:40:18You 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.
00:40:28An agreement.
00:40:29Mr. Glenn?
00:40:32Bella.
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?
00:41:01What?
00:41:04Ethan's in the ICU.
00:41:15Ethan.
00:41:16Ethan.
00:41:16Please.
00:41:18Come back to me.
00:41:23How's Ethan doing?
00:41:26Not 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 has spiked.
00:41:45Now 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's in.
00:41:54Please.
00:41:55Doctor, there must be something we can do.
00:41:57We're considering a specialized intubation procedure.
00:42:01It's meant to relieve the pressure by draining the excess cerebral spinal fluid.
00:42:05But there are risks.
00:42:08What kinds of risks?
00:42:11Infection, bleeding, even further brain damage.
00:42:23If 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.
00:43:07That must take a toll on you after a while.
00:43:10Yeah.
00:43:11I 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.
00:43:34Hope.
00:43:35We bring hope.
00:43:36People...
00:43:39People need that, Bella.
00:43:41They want to believe that it's not the end and that they're going to be saved.
00:43:45And, I mean, sometimes we can do that.
00:43:50Hope 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, that makes
00:44:04it 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.
00:44:42Oh, yeah, Ethan mentioned him.
00:44:46Say he's a great guy.
00:44:48Yeah, um, speaking of Ethan, what do you think I should do about him?
00:44:55Um, I mean, he has a rare condition.
00:45:00The operation I mentioned is risky, but, I 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.
00:45:52Thanks.
00:45:53There's also 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?
00:46:29Somewhere 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.
00:47:00All right.
00:47:01There we go.
00:47:02Marcus, there 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.
00:47:19Well, it's your time to impress me.
00:47:24Hold this.
00:47:45Interesting.
00:47:52Okay.
00:48:11Oh, someone has solved that.
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 know about this.
00:48:39Think of it as roleplay.
00:48:42Let it open out there.
00:48:44We'll help you get into character.
00:48:47You don't want me.
00:48:50And I want you.
00:48:55Just let go.
00:48:59This is about you, Maxi.
00:49:03To free up that part of you that has been held back for so long.
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?
00:49:44You hear me?
00:49:45Yes.
00:49:46You hear me?
00:49:49Yes.
00:49:54It does help you win.
00:50:08You hear me?
00:50:11This is a different than I want you.
00:50:13I would like to choose where I'm.
00:50:13It does help you too.
00:50:16Maybe see if the Missiniy.
00:50:19This is the point that you start out around.
00:50:45I want more.
00:50:48Then beg for it, my son.
00:50:51Please.
00:50:54Then beg for it nicely.
00:50:57Please.
00:50:58Sir?
00:50:59I want more.
00:51:08I want more.
00:51:11I want more.
00:51:13I want more.
00:51:15I want more.
00:51:23I want more.
00:51:28I want more.
00:51:46I want more.
00:52:16I want more.
00:52:19I don't think you would have noticed that.
00:52:22Uh, call me Will.
00:52:24I do have an identity outside of the hospital, you know.
00:52:26You do look kind of cute when you're not in scrubs.
00:52:31He's so different from Marcus.
00:52:34Simple, straightforward, and kind.
00:52:36The type of guy I always thought I would date.
00:52:49Shit.
00:52:49Shit.
00:52:52Is everything okay?
00:52:54No.
00:52:55No, it's not.
00:52:57Jenny!
00:52:59Why, hello there.
00:53:01If it isn't Miss 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?
00:53:13Do 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?
00:53:20I don't even understand what's got you so worked up.
00:53:23You know it's true, don't you?
00:53:26Were 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.
00:54:00You are so pathetic, even 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?
00:54:44Who are you?
00:54:46Lindsay?
00:54:48Lindsay?
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?
00:55:14You shall?
00:55:15I'm fine.
00:55:17I'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.
00:55:24He's going to be okay.
00:55:26Yeah.
00:55:27I know.
00:55:28So, 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!
00:55:40Don't fucking move!
00:55:41Let go of me!
00:55:42Hey!
00:55:47What's going on?
00:55:48We're here to settle some long overdue matters with Elkhart.
00:55:51It'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 Itabella and Ethan Rivera.
00:56:14How could you?
00:56:17Mom trusted you and you betrayed her!
00:56:19I-I didn't do-
00:56:20Wait, Elkhart?
00:56:22I 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.
00:56:44Your 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.
00:57:03How does Marcus have all this power?
00:57:06Is it because of his mafia connections?
00:57:09They'll handle the rest.
00:57:10Let's get out of here.
00:57:12Let's do something else.
00:57:13Let's do something else.
00:57:14Let's bid the direction for him, that was.
00:57:16And à®®.
00:57:27Let's bid to the demande from you.
00:57:28If you don't have any decision, where?
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.
00:58:44I mean, it's a mess.
00:59:03I can't believe it.
00:59:04I can't believe it.
00:59:04I can't believe it.
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 i found out about lindsay so we found out
00:59:43i know i'm not supposed to ask this but did you kill someone no
00:59:53but i tried to who wasn't and why his name was his name 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
01:00:21i wanted to destroy this guy so much i wanted to kill him
01:00:27well they used to kick her and you're gonna laugh when you hear this the only damn reason i didn't
01:00:34kill him is because i found out he has a
01:00:38there's a daughter a 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

01:15:44Marcus, I have to tell you something.
01:15:47About what you said before.

01:17:18No.
01:17:19No.
01:17:20No.
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.
