06:12erupted again phones were already out man i'm not even leaving this is better than netflix i came here
06:18for dinner and got front road seats to a live meltdown 10 minutes almost up a heavy set man reached
06:24for me don't you dare touch me nice figure though i can tell without even laying a hand on her
06:29mr carter
06:30mind if i take her why not if she can't pay then she's all yours everyone was convinced i couldn't
06:37pay
06:37and just like that they stopped pretending to be civilized and started reaching for me
06:43if hatred could take physical form everyone in my line of sight would have dropped where they stood
06:48but hatred doesn't work that way go grab her hold her down so those pigs can have their fun
06:55yes sir i looked at ethan something inside me went completely cold he didn't even flinch don't look at
07:03me like that i'm not helping you as long as ivy feels better that's all that matters we were
07:07still legally married and he stood there like i was nothing sweetheart come with me i've got money

07:21better shape than those guys if you touch me you'll regret it i swear to god you'll pay for this
07:26my ass strip her time's up no more act she didn't even finish the sentence the doors burst open
07:33men in black suits stormed in they moved fast precise control taking down every man around me
07:39in seconds and right behind them nathan reed riverton's most powerful banking executive
07:45he walked in carrying a sleep case expression carved in stone mrs clark i brought the funds
07:53i'm not too late am i mr reed what are you doing here you're a big name how could someone
07:58like her
07:59possibly get you to show up with money ivy rubbed her eyes hard like she thought she was hallucinating
08:04but no matter how many times she blinked he was still there it was really nathan reed
08:09nathan didn't even spare ethan or ivy a glance he walked straight to me with respect miss clark
08:15miss monroe asked me to handle this immediately she's on her way and who gave you the nerve to
08:21treat miss clark like this the noisy restaurant dropped into instant suffocating silence thought
08:28if the carter group was the richest empire in the city then the power behind nathan could crush them
08:32without breaking a sweat when ethan first hit number one people whispered they just never guessed
08:37the trophy wife they mopped was the one pulling the strings ethan once i'm gonna be the richest man
08:42alive so my wife can spend without limits funny how things change i built his throne i can kick it
08:51out from under him under nathan's icy glare no one dared whisper did olivia seriously call in money
09:00how is mr reed her contact nathan turned to ivy voice razor sharp was this humiliation you're doing
09:08i'm there for you everything's gonna be fine ivy hid behind him forcing down her panic
09:16yeah ethan's the richest man in riverton i might be intimidated by nathan but that doesn't mean ethan is
09:23the second she said it her confidence came rushing back she straightened her spine like she just
09:29remembered who she thought she was ethan stepped forward voice turning cold i don't know what kind of
09:34connection you think you have with reed but let me make something clear in rivervind i can freeze
09:39you out and mr reed this is a private family matter it's not your place to interfere i beat you
09:45once to
09:45claim the top spot and i can do it again don't push me i can have you pushed out of
09:49the city and let out
09:50a soft laugh big words if it weren't for mrs clark your company would have been finished whole years ago
09:58everything you have came from her you had everything handed to you and you didn't even realize it
10:08ethan scoffed like it was a joke i was tired done explaining myself i've paid the bill
10:15ivy remember what you promised yeah i said it so what are you gonna do about it
10:23ethan runs this town i lowered my gaze slightly you think hiding behind mr reed gives you power over
10:29me keep dreaming i said softly when the news hits that carter stock is tumping i hope ethan can still
10:38look at you with that same devotion my smile turned even colder when the alert comes in that carter stock
10:44is sliding i hope ethan can still look at ivy with that same devotion nathan's brow tightened slightly
10:51he gave a subtle nod to the men in black they understood instantly in one swift move one of
10:57them scrubbed ivy and knocked her down right in front of me she collapsed on the floor scrambling
11:01on her hands and knees pathetic almost animal-like you made the promise so you're going to honor it
11:09right now right now you are going to apologize admit what you did and say it loud enough for everyone
11:18to hear someone shoved a phone in her face the red wreck light blinked
11:25ethan help me i'd rather die than go through this screams finally snapped ethan out of his shock
11:32fury flared across his face get her out of here he blocked out his own men within seconds nathan's
11:37men and ethan's clashed but it didn't last long ethan's men were on the floor almost immediately
11:44they were never on nathan's level to begin with they weren't amateurs those men were professionally
11:50trained ivy's face drained of color again sweat rolled down her forehead ethan stared at us fury burning
11:56in his eyes nathan i show you a little courtesy and you think you own the place push me and
12:02i can
12:02make you disappear from riverville right now don't go to war with me over olivia that would be
12:08incredibly stupid nathan didn't even dignify that threat with a reaction instead he turned to me with
12:14calm respect everything follows miss clark's decision i smiled at ethan slow deliberate what's wrong
12:21you're allowed to humiliate me but i'm not allowed to return the favor and call my lawyer i want the
12:27divorce papers drafted now make it fast the second i finished speaking even exploded you want a divorce
12:35you don't get to decide that olivia you're just a nobody i picked up know your place you'll understand
12:43exactly who i am once you're signing those papers oh and your father he might be on his way to

13:07on your side but he can't protect you forever while he was running his mouth since we're divorced
13:13i'm done building the carter name within 30 minutes the second my call goes out your stock starts sliding
13:19and it won't stop until the carter empire hits zero olivia aren't you tired of this little act yet
13:26enough you're doing nothing but stalling give it up olivia you think reed can ever take down the
13:32carters you ever wonder why he's forever the runner-up because the carters keep him there
13:37after the divorce papers ethan looked at me with this board discussed like i was already yesterday's trash
13:44olivia olivia olivia olivia i'll be merciful for old time's sake i'll let you keep some dignity
13:48since you paid for it get on your knees and apologize to ivy
13:57i stared at him like are you actually insane she hadn't even paid for what she said she'd do
14:02and he wanted me begging first what is wrong with him i checked my watch and smiled cold call your
14:09father ask him if carter stock is dropping the way i said it hit different ethan's face twitched just a
14:17flicker of panic right as he reached for his phone the door slammed open his father victor barged in
14:23wearing a robe and slippers you stupid ungrateful idiot how did i raise someone this damn reckless
14:30victor hurried over hands up oh dear you hit it well how could you never meanting to you how could
14:39you never mention you were the successor to the most powerful family in westbrook elizabeth i hadn't
14:46heard that name in a long time my real name isn't elizabeth clark back then i came to river
14:52him to scout out quietly so i buried my identity i never thought i'd end up on ethan's radar
14:58he worked me sweet words perfect dates that i'll protect you act until i fell
15:05ethan snapped toward his father then grabbed my arm elizabeth clark that's your real name
15:10you're not kidding the heiress to the clark dynasty of westbridge the one who never makes public
15:14appearance i yanked my arm away nathan immediately handed me a napkin gentle respectful like i mattered
15:20ethan went pale on the spot because an hour ago he wiped his hand after i touched him like i
15:27was
15:27contaminated when i didn't answer him he turned to his father desperate dad what the hell is going on
15:35ivy looked like she couldn't breathe she was waiting for victor to say it was a mistake she'd heard
15:42rumors about elizabeth clark everyone had but nobody had ever seen her in person and if i really was
15:49her ivy was finished so was the carter family victor turned on ethan teeth clenched that is right
15:57she's elizabeth clark and you're a damn fool you threw away your wife for a cheap little side piece
16:05and you provoked her ethan froze ivy froze harder the whole restaurant exploded into chaos wait what the
16:13hell someone pinched me am i dreaming or is this real some idiot actually pinched his friend hard
16:19ethan screamed holy it's real we were literally just trashing her we're so screwed what are we gonna
16:27do she's going to ruin us the panic around me sounded like a swarm of insects prayers regrets excuses
16:36everyone was silently begging i'd forget their faces we literally just helped them we tried to rip her
16:41clothes i said this already anyone who tries to make me a joke i lifted my chin becomes the joke
16:51victor
16:52reacted first and kicked ivy you poisonous little leech who do you think you are going against miss clark
16:59you let those disgusting men touch her and you actually tried to film her being humiliated ivy was
17:05dealt with i turned to leave but this time no one backed her up not a single soul the carters
17:14have
17:14everything because of miss clark i i didn't know at first i went to west brook
17:24but then i went to bridge i saw her sitting at the head of the table with billionaires running the
17:33meeting like she owned the world that's when it hit me just how powerful she really is
17:41she was going to reveal it tonight bring you home to westbrook and introduce you to her family
17:48she tried to make you part of her dynasty and you ruined it for a useless nobody ethan's eyes went
17:57wide and his whole body started shaking he looked at me mouth open no sound reality finally slammed him
18:04in the face victor checked his phone and his face dropped elizabeth no mrs clark please call them off
18:15carter stock is falling fast if it keeps dropping we're finished i calmly adjusted my clothes no emotion
18:22no warmth i said i can lift the carter family to the top and i can also crush you into

19:09me to do this and now you're not willing to admit it ivy laughed through tears bitter and wild wow
19:16ethan you're really a professional at dodging responsibility don't think punishing me means
19:23elizabeth will forgive you or forgive the carters dream on and she was right even if ethan punished ivy
19:30i wasn't letting the carters off the hook but they still didn't get it no she's just angry right now
19:37that's all she loves me otherwise she wouldn't have hidden her identity and stayed with the carters

19:49fix this we always do please don't hurt me

20:08kicking ivy hard not random kids either they targeted joints knees ankles places that ruin you

20:35the one thing she valued most she finally gave in her fingers trembled as she took the phone
20:40the camera light burned into her face i stole from the company she sobbed i went after a married man
20:50i framed her i lied about everything every word echoed in the silent restaurant i turned to leave
20:58babe where are you going i punished ivy i'll never embarrass you again come home with me please
21:02carter are you out of your mind know your place and stop calling every woman you grab babe
21:08we signed divorce papers did you forget next time you see me don't get my name wrong the second i
21:13yanked my arm away my childhood friend miles morgan walked in liz so this is why you refused to
21:19marry me back then him seriously that's your type your taste is awful he's not as good looking as me
21:25not even close and he definitely doesn't carry himself like i do and most importantly i've loved
21:30you for 10 years straight he couldn't even stay faithful for three the room instantly went ohhh
21:35like a crowd at a live show they didn't know who i really was but they all knew miles morgan
21:40one of the richest men in the world his face was everywhere magazine covers business headlines global
21:49summits and yeah miles was tall sharp unfairly handsome next to him ethan didn't even register
21:55standing side by side miles completely wiped him off the screen with miles there ethan finally
22:02felt real danger and he panicked we were divorced he humiliated me publicly trying to get me back
22:09now impossible babe elizabeth who is he before i could answer miles shot ethan a look like he was
22:16gum on a shoe you seriously have to ask i'm her fiance you two are done and she's not marrying
22:23anybody else
22:24except me i sighed and smiled because that's just miles no filter he's always been blunt always loud about
22:31what he wants come on i haven't been home to see my parents in a long time ethan chased after
22:39us
22:39liz what about me and what about the carters i paused but i didn't turn around we're divorced
22:46why would you be my problem ethan's voice broke tears dropped fast like his body gave up pretending
22:53if i hadn't humiliated you because of ivy if i'd stopped them before they touched you would you
22:59forgive me if you didn't find out i'm elizabeth clark would you still realize your mistake would you
23:05still punish ivy that question strangled him he couldn't answer and i didn't stay for his silence i
23:12walked out with miles because life doesn't do what if wrong is wrong and some doors don't reopen
23:19the moment we left that french restaurant the night wind hit my face sharp late autumn cold
23:24i tucked my messy hair behind my ear my couture dress was stained and wrinkled but it couldn't
23:29hide what i was underneath miles took off his suit jacket and draped it over my shoulders
23:33when his fingers brushed my cold skin he moved carefully gentle liz they didn't deserve you i shook my
23:41head and looked out at the traffic in neon the lights reflected in my eyes but nothing felt warm
23:46i'm free now finally better to learn the truth now than waste a lifetime on a lie miles started the
23:54engine and the black luxury car slid smoothly into traffic i already have eyes on the carters
24:01carter stock is dropping hard victor is spinning out
24:08he called me a dozen times begging for peace i rejected everyone
24:12i shouldn't have let ivy's manipulate me i shouldn't have done those things to you please
24:19just give me another chance i'll give you anything the company my money it's all yours just forgive me
24:27employees stared whispering pointing like this was a live meltdown i frowned and spoke to security
24:34get him out of here and if he comes back don't let him within 10 feet of this building yes
24:38miss
24:39clark they grabbed ethan and started hauling him out liz i know you still love me you gave up
24:46everything in westbrigg to come here and find me you still love me i know you do i watched him
24:52with
24:52cold eyes until he vanished down the hall then i turned back to adam continue but after that scene
24:57i had zero interest in touring anything miles picked up on it instantly well that's enough for today
25:05let's get out of here liz i'll take you somewhere quiet claire handed me a tablet on screen carter
25:12group's livestock chart a straight dive no bounce no mercy the comments were chaos investors were dumping
25:20shares like a sinking ship mrs clark victor sent expensive gifts again and a handwritten apology i had
25:28it returned ethan called dozens of times i blocked every number and he sent a ton of texts too apologies
25:39saying he knows he was wrong begging for another chance
25:45i glanced at the previews same recycled lines i wasn't thinking i didn't mean that way you're the
25:52only one i love it was pathetic three years together and he never learned who i am he thought a
25:59sorry
25:59text could erase trauma he thought i'd melt like i used to not anymore i ignore it send the word
26:06every
26:07westbridge partner cut the carters off immediately and pull every illegal move they made using the
26:13clark name organize the evidence and hand it to the authorities claire nodded and moved fast miles
26:19watched me carefully liz you're going to erase them aren't you they came for me first i looked up
26:26my eyes cold ethan let ivy humiliate me he even let those disgusting men put their hands on me
26:31did he think there would be no consequences my boundaries aren't something anyone gets to test
26:36miles nodded silence he simply handed me warm tea take some rest i'll keep watch on everything
26:43that night no one said more by morning birdsong woke me right after i got ready nathan called
26:53good morning miss clark carter group released an emergency statement at dawn
26:57they're begging for peace they're offering 30 of the company just to make you stop and ethan's been
27:03outside our bank since morning he wanted to apologize in person i had him removed hey no let
27:09me go i don't want their shares i gave a small laugh carter stock is nothing but trash to me
27:16tell victor i can show mercy he brings ethan to my brother's grave and they beg for forgiveness yes ma
27:22'am
27:22they don't stop until i'm satisfied years ago my brother evan clark personally escorted a shipment to
27:28help me evaluate riverton's market he was a tax supposedly random but the truth is the carters
27:35did it quietly so they could swallow clark assets in riverton that's why i hid my name partly to watch
27:40ethan but mostly to collect proof and avenge my brother nathan agreed immediately that i ended the call
27:48claire came in miss clark mr morgan is waiting downstairs he said he wants to show you a few projects
27:54today i nodded and changed into a clean white suit sharp lines no softness with slim heels my whole
28:02presence snapped into place nothing like the woman they tried to humiliate last night when i came down
28:07miles was leaning against the car liz suits were made for you i smiled and got in miles started the
28:14car
28:14and nodded toward the skyline even while i was lying low i never stopped building my position in riverton
28:20tech ventures real estate developments multiple projects all under my control and ethan never had
28:27a clue he truly believed i was just a trophy wife living off him we pulled up in front of
28:32a brand new
28:32glass tower this was my tech company the company's managing director adam was already waiting at the
28:39entrance mrs clark welcome we went inside he started briefing me on updates numbers expansion miles walked
28:49beside me adding details here and there then noise near the elevator i turned ethan looked wrinkled
28:55clothes messy hair bloodshot eyes he was fighting security trying to rush toward me liz liz honey
29:06just look at me i'm sorry honey i'm so sorry security held him back he kept thrashing eyes full of
29:14regret and
29:14desperate pleading do what you have to do to what you're to meant don't hold back i leaned back and
29:21closed my eyes ethan's panicked face flashed in my mind and that last question he couldn't answer all i felt
29:27was emptiness i resurrected the carters i handed them the climb they chose to waste it they sealed their own
29:34end the car entered a quiet gated neighborhood my private place in riverton clean understated tastefully
29:42powerful not loud like the carter mansion claire was waiting at the door the second she saw me
29:48her eyes reddened and she hurried over to study me miss clark thank god you're back are you all right
29:56i'm fine tell the kitchen to keep it simple something hot something light after a shower i changed into
30:02soft lounge clothes one bowl of warm comfort food and the tension finally loosened just a little miles took
30:09me to a hot spring resort outside riverton quiet tucked away in the hills no noise no paparazzi just
30:16airing trees sinking into the hot water melted the tension out of my muscles miles sat nearby watching me
30:24you know what's insane ethan still thinks you hid your name because you loved him
30:29he has no idea you had a reason from day one i ran my fingers through the water he's arrogant
30:35he honestly thinks marrying him was the best thing that ever happened to me but he never asked the
30:41real question who am i and why would i choose him when i first arrived in riverton ethan came at
30:49me
30:49hard full court press he was attentive generous always saying yes always making me feel taken care of
30:56for a newcomer it felt like belonging and he looked ambitious back then like he might actually be worth
31:02investing in so i stayed kept my name hidden i wanted to see if he was truly worth my family's
31:08backing i leveraged the clark family's influence to clear his path i helped him crash competitor
31:14after competitor until the carters went from who to the richest family in riverton but i didn't expect
31:20that the higher he climbed the more his ego swelled and the uglier his ambition got he started looking
31:25down on my background acting like i wasn't good enough for mr richest man in riverton and suddenly
31:31there were women everywhere laughing too loud staying a little too long ivy was the worst of
31:37them the boldest the most shameless it's not like i didn't notice i did i just waited waiting for him
31:44to
31:44come back to his senses and waiting for the perfect moment to take the carters down for good and my
31:49birthday dinner that was the opening to get revenge for ivy he set me up humiliated me on purpose and
31:57that's
31:57when i finally saw him clearly every last bit of attachment died right there back in my room after
32:03the hot springs claire sent me a message the moment ethan dropped ivy the crowd that used to swarm her
32:09turned on her instantly she ended up broke chased by debt collectors and basically living on the street
32:16rumor was she was digging through a produce market for thrown out scraps looking absolutely wrecked victor
32:22forced ethan to issue a public confession a three-hour live stream apology press conferences
32:27social media statements every outlet you can imagine they humiliated themselves in front of millions
32:33and i still didn't move my brother's life isn't something you settle with pr damage control
32:38what the carters owe me what they owe the clarks i'm collecting it slowly with interest days passed
32:44the carters got worse partners pulled contracts banks called in loans regulators stepped in carter
32:52group couldn't hold the line bankruptcy liquidation victor couldn't take it he had a massive brain
32:58hemorrhage landed in the hospital and slipped into a vegetative state ethan went from the top of
33:04riverton to nothing overnight he sold every property and every luxury car to pay for victor's treatment but
33:10it barely made a dent he tried a hundred ways to get to me i shut every door he even
33:15went to westbridge
33:17trying to beg the senior members of the clark family to step in they didn't even grant him a
33:22meeting security showed him the door that night i went with miles to a business gala packed with elites
33:28as the clark heiress i was the center of attention the very people who once looked down on my background
33:34were now scrambling to align themselves with me their faces were coated in fake smiles nothing like that
33:39cold mocking energy they had in the restaurant i handled it smoothly calm elegant charming when i
33:45wanted to be miles stayed at my side the entire time shielding me from the noise the warmth in his
33:51eyes wasn't even trying to hide halfway through the night a commotion hit the entrance ethan walked in
33:56looking like he'd aged 10 years overnight rumpled clothes gray streaking his hair exhaustion etched into
34:01his face the confident ceo carter from a few months ago was gone he fought past security and sprinted toward
34:07me shouting liz it's me tom liz he broke free reached me and dropped to his knees with a thud
34:17he grabbed
34:17my dress desperation all over his face liz i know i screwed up i was an idiot i threw everything

34:40were full of amusement and disgust i looked down at him with zero emotion i gently pulled my clothing
34:46free and looked down at him ethan look at you do you even recognize what you've become he looked up
34:55tears streaking down in his face i look like a damn fool that's what i am
35:03liz please forgive me

35:51one more thing you never loved me you loved what i gave you you loved my family's influence you love
35:58the leverage the power the reach and now that it's gone you want me back that's not how this works
36:06ethan's face went paper white he collapsed onto the floor the light in his eyes dying inch by inch
36:11his mouth opened but nothing came out security stepped in and dragged him out his screams and
36:18begging faded into the night miles took my hand and said softly it's over i nodded and looked up at
36:24the sky full of stars my mind finally clear yeah it was all over all the ugliness all the pain
36:31vanished with the carter collapse after the gala miles drove me home as we moved through the dark he
36:38spoke up liz look the stars are so bright tonight i looked up the sky was scattered with light sharp
36:43and
36:44gorgeous it looked like my future miles said as he pulled over turning to me with a seriousness that
36:50made my chest tighten i've waited 10 years from a reckless teenager to the man i am now i've never
36:57changed ethan is out of your world so can you give me a chance to stay by your side and
37:05protect you for
37:06the rest of my life i looked into his eyes so much devotion so much certainty and warmth spread through
37:11me 10 years miles had been there for 10 years when i was at my lowest he guarded me quietly
37:17when i hid my
37:19name he handled everything in westbridge for me when ethan humiliated me miles was the first one to
37:25show up and stand between me and the world it's not like i didn't feel his feelings i was just
37:30trapped in
37:30my own storm revenge strategy planning blind to the warmth right next to me i smiled softly and nodded
37:38okay miles eyes lit up like someone turned the sun on he held my hand carefully like he was holding
37:45everything he'd ever wanted outside the night breeze drifted by carrying a faint floral scent i leaned on
37:51his shoulder staring at the stars feeling hope fill my chest ethan's regret wasn't my problem the carter
37:58downfall was self-inflicted and me elizabeth clark heiress of westbridge's clark family finally
38:04stepped out of the shadows and into my own light with miles beside me with my family behind me and
38:09with my own strength i knew my future would be bright loud beautiful unstoppable and the people who hurt me
38:16they'd spend the rest of their lives choking on regret
