00:00:00Love or security? What would you choose? Five years ago, I chose love. I gave up everything I had just
00:00:09to help a man build his life from scratch. And on our wedding anniversary, that was when I understood just
00:00:22how much I'd lost.
00:00:26Couldn't you at least try to wear something nicer? My brother's on his way home after getting his promotion.
00:00:32I'll change after. It's our anniversary after all.
00:00:35He's totally focused on his career. That's all he cares about. Not his marriage.
00:00:41Anyway, other than cooking and cleaning, what do you even bring to the table?
00:00:46He belongs with someone who's smart, as well as beautiful. Someone like Lily.
00:00:55Dad?
00:00:57Sophia, my little girl. Have you had enough of Washington yet?
00:01:01It's been five years since you gave up your status as Romano family's heir. For that guy, I bet you
00:01:08regret running away with him.
00:01:10Not at all.
00:01:12Noah and I are very happy. He doesn't care about money or status.
00:01:16Dad, his promotion today. Is that your doing?
00:01:18I did it for you. Do you think he'd ever make it if my little girl weren't in his corner?
00:01:24Sophia, hurry up!
00:01:26Noah's almost home.
00:01:27Coming.
00:01:27Sorry, Dad. I have to go.
00:01:32So, we're ready.
00:01:34I think a surprise visit to my daughter is in order. Time to see this Noah for myself.
00:01:44It's the smartest thing that company's ever done.
00:01:47Happy anniversary, Noah.
00:01:53Noah, I can't imagine this.
00:01:56Noah, what's going on? What are you doing with your ex? Why is she even here?
00:02:02Noah, what's going on? What are you doing with your ex? Why is she even here?
00:02:07Nothing's going on. Lily is a colleague.
00:02:11We're celebrating my promotion. I'm the new CEO of Romano.
00:02:14What's that look for? Lily and my brother broke up ages ago.
00:02:18If anything was going on, he wouldn't be married to you. Stop being such a psycho.
00:02:23Tonight was supposed to be about us.
00:02:25Maybe this is a bad time.
00:02:27I'm so sorry, Sophie. I didn't mean to make things awkward.
00:02:31Lily, it's fine. My brother is at the Romano group thanks to you supporting him.
00:02:36Unlike some people who only know how to be a boring housewife.
00:02:40What? That's not true. He got his promotion because of my dad.
00:02:45Jesus Christ, Sophia. Would you just shut up?
00:02:48You'd make a big deal out of everything.
00:02:50Don't just stand there. Fix a play for Lily.
00:03:02Don't worry, my little baby. Daddy's just stressed about work. We'll have to be patient with him, okay?
00:03:08Cheers.
00:03:14Ew. What is that? Noah, you know I hate pickles.
00:03:20They're mine. Pregnancy craving.
00:03:23I don't care. Get rid of them. It stinks.
00:03:27Yeah, no, I get rid of them. But it's the only food I can stomach.
00:03:31I don't know why you would make such disgusting things. I guess it makes sense though. You're so embarrassing.
00:03:43That's where they belong.
00:03:46Hey, you're gonna ruin the floor.
00:03:51Clean it up. Smells like sewage.
00:03:54I'm so sorry, Sophia. Looks like we created an extra mess for you to clean up.
00:04:08Daddy, you hate pickles. Why did you buy them?
00:04:17Because they're your favorite.
00:04:19Daddy, I love you.
00:04:25You know, one day...
00:04:27I hope I'm lucky enough to marry a man just like you.
00:04:42Are those pickles?
00:04:43Like you've given up everything for me.
00:04:46This is the least I can do.
00:04:49My dad knew how well you treated me. He'd be incredibly happy.
00:04:56Don't just stand there. My brother gave you an order. Clean it up.
00:05:00I have no idea what he ever saw in her. Zero awareness.
00:05:08He wasn't like this at the start.
00:05:11Daddy, I fear I may have made the wrong decision.
00:05:15Hey, can you hurry up for God's sake?
00:05:17And when you're done, get back to the kitchen where you belong.
00:05:21Oh, this is supposed to be our anniversary dinner.
00:05:24Why are you treating me like this? I'm your wife.
00:05:26Don't you care about my feelings?
00:05:29My promotion is because of Lily's belief in me.
00:05:33Now, we have very important business to discuss.
00:05:36Do you even know what that means?
00:05:38No, of course you don't.
00:05:40Because your skills include cooking and cleaning.
00:05:44Well, how can you say that?
00:05:46I prepared this whole candlelit dinner for our anniversary and now you're gonna what?
00:05:49You're sending me away?
00:05:51So you can celebrate with another woman?
00:05:53Shut up!
00:05:56I have been more than patient with you.
00:05:59Get out of my sight!
00:06:04Why are you doing this?
00:06:06I'm your wife, Noah. I'm carrying your child.
00:06:09Why are you treating me like trash?
00:06:13Maybe because you are.
00:06:15Today was supposed to be fun. A celebration of my promotion.
00:06:18And here you are ruining it per usual.
00:06:21Hey, Noah. There's no need to get worked up over just this small thing, right?
00:06:26Hey, you know what?
00:06:27I really want a blueberry tart from that bakery down the road.
00:06:31You know the one on the corner.
00:06:33God. It's just freezing cold out though.
00:06:39Hey, Sophia. Are you deaf?
00:06:43Lily wants a dessert. Go buy it for her.
00:06:45Seriously?
00:06:47It's freezing outside.
00:06:49Have you seen the forecast? They said there's gonna be a blizzard coming.
00:06:52It's gonna be a total light out. I-I-I'm seven months pregnant.
00:06:57So what?
00:06:58It's just a short walk.
00:07:00We'll do you some good, get some fresh air.
00:07:03We're not gonna die from it.
00:07:05My brother works himself to the bone trying to support this family.
00:07:08And we ask you to do this one little thing and you bitch about it.
00:07:13Typical.
00:07:15I don't feel well. I've been cramping all afternoon.
00:07:19I'm scared. Please don't let me go.
00:07:21Enough with the excuses.
00:07:24Look, for once in your life. Once.
00:07:27Can you think about someone other than yourself?
00:07:29You are inconsiderate and you are embarrassed-
00:07:32I'm scared.
00:07:34I'm scared.
00:07:38I'm scared.
00:07:40I'm scared.
00:07:40Sophia, I got you your favorite strawberry tart.
00:07:43And I waited in line for three hours so you have to eat it while it's still fresh.
00:07:47Oh my god.
00:07:48Come on.
00:07:49Thank you so much.
00:07:53Did you buy the strawberry tart I want?
00:07:56No, I forgot.
00:07:57I got a lot going on at work.
00:07:58Okay, if you want to just get it yourself.
00:08:02Hey, you know what?
00:08:03I really want a blueberry tart from that bakery down the road.
00:08:07It's freezing cold out though.
00:08:10Oh, please.
00:08:12Please.
00:08:13I don't feel low.
00:08:15Can you think about someone other than yourself?
00:08:17You were inconsiderate and you were a constant embarrassment.
00:08:21It's really starting to hurt.
00:08:24Noah, why are you treating me like this?
00:08:33Hello, little one.
00:08:34Daddy?
00:08:35Guess what I'm doing right now.
00:08:37I'm coming to Washington.
00:08:40Surprise.
00:08:42Daddy, you're coming to Washington?
00:08:44Noah must have taken good care of you over the past five years.
00:08:47And now he's finally becoming CEO.
00:08:49I thought it's a good time to finally meet him properly.
00:08:54Daddy, I-
00:08:56Sophia, what's the matter?
00:08:58Go faster.
00:08:59My daughter needs me.
00:09:03It's nothing, Daddy.
00:09:04I'm just excited to see you.
00:09:06Sophia, tell me the truth.
00:09:07What's going on?
00:09:08Is Noah treating you well?
00:09:10It's fine.
00:09:11We're fine.
00:09:12Don't worry.
00:09:14I have to go.
00:09:17I can't tell him.
00:09:19He'd just worry.
00:09:25Something's not right.
00:09:27Find out what Noah's up to.
00:09:29And drive faster. God damn it.
00:09:58What the hell are you doing?
00:10:01Ah, it's not what it looks like.
00:10:03Um, Noah and just got his official job offer from the Romano group and we were just celebrating and-
00:10:12Celebrating? In our bed? Turning my home into a brothel?
00:10:15Yeah, okay, you know what? Yes, you've seen us, fine. Lily and I are together.
00:10:20And we have been together for quite some time.
00:10:23You know what? It's your fault. You sit around and you do nothing around here.
00:10:30If it wasn't for your pregnant belly, you'd be pretty fucking useless.
00:10:34I mean, come on, Sophia.
00:10:36What man would want you always holding your hand out asking for money?
00:10:39Wait, you really didn't know.
00:10:42I mean, we were together for like a year.
00:10:46Every big project that he's been on, I was behind it all.
00:10:51Do you know why? You don't do anything for my career.
00:10:55You can't even take care of yourself.
00:10:58Noah, you begged me to marry you when you had absolutely nothing.
00:11:01And now that you've made it, this is how you repay me?
00:11:05Everything you have, everything you are, is because of me.
00:11:09What the fuck are you talking about?
00:11:14Do you even know who made all of this possible?
00:11:16The CEO title, the fancy corner office who got you in the door?
00:11:20What, are you fucking crazy?
00:11:21Everything I have is because of Lily.
00:11:23You're just a housewife. Face it.
00:11:25You cook, you clean, you shop. That's it.
00:11:29And as for your so-called father, he's probably squatting under some bridge in New York.
00:11:34I can't rely on you.
00:11:36You begged me to leave New York with you.
00:11:38And come with you.
00:11:39And I give up, I give up everything for you.
00:11:43I promise you, I will succeed.
00:11:46And everything that you've ever given up from me,
00:11:49Look, I'll earn that back.
00:11:51Tenfold.
00:11:52I won't make you suffer.
00:11:54Please just come with me. Let's do this together.
00:11:57You promised me.
00:11:58You promised me you wouldn't let me suffer.
00:12:01Now look at what you're doing.
00:12:02You're whining like a little bitch.
00:12:03Noah, stop your hurting me.
00:12:05I begged you because I was blind.
00:12:07I thought you were the true Romano heiress.
00:12:10You lied to me.
00:12:11What do you mean?
00:12:12If I didn't see you walking in and out of the chairman's office,
00:12:15Do you really think I would have married you?
00:12:17So you tricked me?
00:12:19And you cheated on me just to further your career?
00:12:22Damn right.
00:12:23If I had known that you would just drain me of my resources and be dead weight,
00:12:28Would I have wasted my time? No.
00:12:30I cooked for you, I cleaned for you, I gave up everything for you for five years.
00:12:34And then you bring your ex-girlfriend on her anniversary into our bed and you cheat on me?
00:12:38Shut up!
00:12:39I have been more than generous to you.
00:12:41Lily is a design director with Romano Group.
00:12:45You are nothing.
00:12:46There's no comparison.
00:12:48When my dad gets here there's gonna be hell to pay.
00:12:51This is where your daughter lives.
00:12:53We have confirmed it sir.
00:12:55As for Noah, he's been having an affair for nearly a year.
00:12:58Almost everybody at the company knows about it.
00:13:00Hurry up and find her.
00:13:01Now.
00:13:02If Noah is laying a hand on her, he will face irreversible consequences.
00:13:06Yes sir.
00:13:08If you had any self-respect, you would realize that once you give birth, Noah will divorce you.
00:13:16And your child will call me mommy.
00:13:18You tricked me into carrying your baby.
00:13:20Yeah.
00:13:21Yeah, I did.
00:13:23You know what?
00:13:24If Lily here wasn't afraid of losing her perfect figure to childbirth, I wouldn't have touched you.
00:13:31But you don't get that.
00:13:34You stupid hell.
00:13:44Oh my god, she's bleeding.
00:13:46No, no, what if something happens to the baby?
00:13:48There's always something with her.
00:13:50Look, we can't let her bleed out.
00:13:51Let's go, let's get to the hospital.
00:13:54Are you sure this is the building?
00:13:55Yes sir.
00:13:56That's it.
00:13:58Sophia!
00:14:00Sophia!
00:14:06Something's wrong.
00:14:08Find her.
00:14:09Now!
00:14:10We have located her, sir.
00:14:11She's at the hospital.
00:14:18She's critical.
00:14:19We need to prepare for the worst.
00:14:21Now, you listen to me.
00:14:22I don't care if she's critical.
00:14:24You save the baby.
00:14:26I don't care about her.
00:14:27She's image of blood.
00:14:29If we prioritize the fetus, the mother may not survive.
00:14:33And then let her die.
00:14:38You make sure my child survives.
00:14:41Sophia!
00:14:42Sophia!
00:14:43You're really throwing everything away for this penniless loser.
00:14:46He promised me he's going to make it.
00:14:49I believe in him.
00:14:52I was wrong, Daddy.
00:14:54I was so wrong.
00:14:55I'm sorry.
00:15:01I'll see who dares to take my daughter's life.
00:15:14Sophia!
00:15:15Daddy's here!
00:15:16Sophia Romano here?
00:15:18It's none of your business.
00:15:20And who the hell are you anyway?
00:15:21How is she?
00:15:23She's my wife.
00:15:24It's none of your concern.
00:15:25Why is she having surgery?
00:15:27It's none of your damn business.
00:15:29And if you must know, that's my wife giving birth in there, okay?
00:15:32It's a family matter.
00:15:33I kind you ask you to leave.
00:15:35Noah, this guy seems like trouble.
00:15:38Giving birth?
00:15:39It feels like my daughter was lying in a pool of her own blood.
00:15:43And you're asking me to leave.
00:15:45Stop the surgery!
00:15:46I want my daughter to be saved!
00:15:48Your daughter?
00:15:50Her father is a homeless bum.
00:15:53Get the fuck out of here.
00:15:55You really think it's wise to provoke me?
00:15:58I don't care.
00:15:59She's giving birth in there.
00:16:01As long as that child is born safely, I don't care what happens to her.
00:16:05She could die on that table for all I care.
00:16:08You're using my daughter to have a baby.
00:16:12Very well, Noah Anderson.
00:16:14Listen, I'll remember this.
00:16:18I'll remember you.
00:16:21Patient has gone into cardiac arrest.
00:16:23She's critical.
00:16:25We need immediate intervention.
00:16:26Do whatever it takes to save her.
00:16:29Mr. Romano.
00:16:32Romano?
00:16:34No, that's impossible.
00:16:36Is it Vito Romano?
00:16:38The chairman of the Romano group?
00:16:42That's impossible.
00:16:43Sofia said that her father was unemployed.
00:16:45No, relax.
00:16:47Romano group is based in New York.
00:16:49The chairman wouldn't just show up in Washington.
00:16:51Just probably someone with the same name.
00:16:54Okay, yeah.
00:16:55Yeah, you're right.
00:16:58Sofia's born to be a housewife.
00:17:00Right.
00:17:00She would have zero connection to a man like Vito Romano.
00:17:05Shut your mouth.
00:17:07If I lose my daughter, everyone here will pay.
00:17:10Why are you standing there?
00:17:12You should be saving her.
00:17:16Hold on, little one.
00:17:18Daddy's here.
00:17:20Flatlining.
00:17:21Look good, people.
00:17:23Charge.
00:17:23Clear.
00:17:26Ready, and again.
00:17:27Charge.
00:17:30Sofia.
00:17:31Don't be scared.
00:17:32Daddy's here.
00:17:34Wake up.
00:17:35Please, baby, wake up.
00:18:04I'm here.
00:18:05I got you.
00:18:08Take her to a private room.
00:18:10Get her the best round-the-clock care.
00:18:12Now.
00:18:21Hey.
00:18:22Where's my child?
00:18:27Where's my child?
00:18:29I'm sorry.
00:18:30Baby didn't make it.
00:18:32We did everything we could.
00:18:35This is impossible.
00:18:37How the hell does Sofia survive and not the baby?
00:18:39Sofia probably told the doctor to save her instead.
00:18:42We can't let this go.
00:18:43We have to confront her.
00:18:45What if her dad tries to get revenge on us?
00:18:46Her dad is homeless.
00:18:48And the other guy is probably an actor that she hired to scare you.
00:18:52Yeah, you're right.
00:18:54Yeah, she owes us an explanation.
00:18:56Let's go.
00:19:00I should have listened to you, Dad.
00:19:02I was so stubborn. I'm sorry.
00:19:04I don't blame you, Sofia.
00:19:06It was a difficult decision to make.
00:19:08We're family.
00:19:09I love you.
00:19:11And I will always have you back.
00:19:13I love you, too.
00:19:16No more tears now, baby.
00:19:19Focus on your health.
00:19:21And I'll handle things from here.
00:19:27Dad.
00:19:29Where's my baby?
00:19:34Dad, where's my baby?
00:19:36The baby.
00:19:38The baby.
00:19:38The baby didn't make it.
00:19:40I came here too late.
00:19:48I carried that child for seven months.
00:19:51This can't be happening.
00:19:52Sofia, listen to me.
00:19:55You have to stay calm and focus on your health.
00:19:58That comes first.
00:19:59Then, those people that hurt you, they won't get away with this.
00:20:04I will make sure they pay.
00:20:06Noah.
00:20:08Noah and his ex.
00:20:10They killed my child.
00:20:11I'm not letting them get away with that.
00:20:17Hey!
00:20:19How much did this slut pay you to pretend to be her father, huh?
00:20:23Do you know who I am?
00:20:25I'm the new CEO of the Romano Group.
00:20:27You can't afford to offend me.
00:20:30Sofia, you owe us big time.
00:20:32That baby was ours.
00:20:33Say that again.
00:20:34I dare you.
00:20:36Say that again.
00:20:37I dare you.
00:20:38So you choose yourself and let the baby die and we're not even allowed to talk about it?
00:20:43You don't deserve to be a mother.
00:20:45I almost died on that operating table.
00:20:47You killed my child and you think I'm the one in the wrong?
00:20:50My daughter just woke up from surgery and you bring your mistress in here to humiliate her?
00:20:54Was I too gentle with you two earlier?
00:20:56Have you not learned your lesson?
00:20:59Noah, are you gonna let them treat me like this?
00:21:02If Sofia hadn't interfered, then we'd already be back together.
00:21:07Hey!
00:21:07You say one more word about my daughter, you'll never speak again.
00:21:11Are you insane?
00:21:12I am part of the Romano Group, a global empire.
00:21:15I will make sure that you are ruined for this.
00:21:18What do you think you are? Laying a finger on her?
00:21:21I don't care if you're her father. This is none of your fucking business.
00:21:24You think he can come in here and disrespect my daughter?
00:21:28Get the divorce papers.
00:21:33You can't make her divorce me.
00:21:37You can't make her divorce me.
00:21:39Like hell I can't.
00:21:40This marriage ends today.
00:21:42You can't divorce.
00:21:44She won't go through with it.
00:21:45She hasn't worked in five years.
00:21:47She's got no income.
00:21:48You can't survive without me.
00:21:51Oh no, I'll do more than survive, Noah.
00:21:53I'll thrive.
00:21:55You disgust me.
00:21:57Okay.
00:21:58I take care of you.
00:21:59I support you this whole time.
00:22:00And now you want to walk out?
00:22:02Supported?
00:22:03Me?
00:22:03Noah, I was your unpaid maid for five years.
00:22:06I took care of you better than your own mother.
00:22:08You never gave me a single dollar.
00:22:10I had to work fucking odd jobs to make money.
00:22:18Sofia, you're pregnant.
00:22:20Why are you doing this?
00:22:22Doesn't your husband take care of you?
00:22:26Noah's busy with work.
00:22:28He doesn't always have the time.
00:22:31Who cares if I didn't give you spending money?
00:22:34I paid for everything.
00:22:35Your food.
00:22:36Your shelter.
00:22:37The roof over your head was because of me.
00:22:40So did I mistreat you?
00:22:42No.
00:22:43But I gave my money to people who matter.
00:22:46People that matter.
00:22:47You're actually calculating the food I ate.
00:22:49So much for five years of love, Noah.
00:22:53Sign the papers.
00:22:54I hope I never see you again.
00:22:56Fine.
00:22:59Our joint marital debt agreement.
00:23:03You co-sign a $500,000 loan to support my career.
00:23:07It's in black and white.
00:23:09It's all right here.
00:23:10Your signature.
00:23:11You pay me back in full, I'll divorce you.
00:23:16This is the insurance you said you bought me.
00:23:19You tricked me.
00:23:20You tricked me into signing this.
00:23:22I tricked you.
00:23:23Grow the fuck up.
00:23:25Courts run on evidence.
00:23:26That's co-signed.
00:23:28You know what?
00:23:28Look, if you can't pay me back,
00:23:31come back home.
00:23:32Be my maid.
00:23:33Forget about the divorce.
00:23:35We pay you $500,000.
00:23:36We can sign the divorce papers.
00:23:38I'll sign as soon as the check clears.
00:23:41But can you afford it?
00:23:43Oh.
00:23:45Are we being too hard on her?
00:23:47We're too hard on her?
00:23:49I married her because I thought she was some Romano heiress.
00:23:52I saw her going in and out of that office.
00:23:55Turns out her father is a homeless bum.
00:23:58He's a drifter.
00:23:59So no.
00:24:00But she owes us.
00:24:02Young man.
00:24:03You'll regret this.
00:24:05How?
00:24:05Make the transfer.
00:24:06No, this is extortion.
00:24:08$500,000 and you are out of my daughter's life forever.
00:24:12Account details.
00:24:22Holy shit.
00:24:24You got the money.
00:24:25Now don't tell me that it was just a loan for the divorce.
00:24:29I always plan to tell you the truth about who I am.
00:24:32After I fix things with my dad.
00:24:34Now there's no need.
00:24:36You don't need a no-no.
00:24:37Just enjoy whatever happiness you have left.
00:24:40What the fuck does that even mean?
00:24:46Here's a check.
00:24:48For a million dollars.
00:24:50Call it compensation.
00:24:53Make sure I get my money's worth.
00:24:57Gums!
00:25:01What?
00:25:02Get your hands off him.
00:25:03I'm the CEO of the Romano group.
00:25:06If you touch me, you'll deal with the whole group.
00:25:07Tell the chairman I'd like to see him.
00:25:09I'd love to meet him.
00:25:10You get one touch of money if you think you're untouchable?
00:25:13The chairman will deal with it.
00:25:15Word of advice, Noah.
00:25:17Don't speak for the chairman.
00:25:21Come on, little one.
00:25:23Daddy's taking you home.
00:25:37Hey!
00:25:38I recognize that plate.
00:25:40I've seen that in business magazines.
00:25:42That's the chairman of the Romano group's car.
00:25:45Why would he be here?
00:25:46What is he doing here?
00:25:47Maybe he's here to comfort you on the baby.
00:25:50Go say hello.
00:25:51This is our chance.
00:25:52Yes.
00:25:53Let's go, let's go.
00:25:56Miss Romano, the car is ready.
00:26:04What?
00:26:05Miss Romano?
00:26:14Romano.
00:26:15Get real, Sophia.
00:26:17You're not a Romano.
00:26:18You probably slept with this old guy.
00:26:19That's why your daddy's got new money.
00:26:21Yeah, no wonder you were so eager to divorce.
00:26:24You found a bigger sponsor.
00:26:26Oh, Sophia.
00:26:27How is he in bed?
00:26:28Sick.
00:26:31Hey!
00:26:37I don't usually hit women or children, but in this case, I'll make an exception.
00:26:41Do you know who you're fucking with right now?
00:26:43I don't need to.
00:26:45And to be clear, this was a warning.
00:26:47Everything you've done to Sophia Romano.
00:26:50Everything you've done to Sophia Romano, the boss will settle.
00:26:52One account at a time.
00:26:54There's no chance that the Romano heiress will come after me over some side piece.
00:26:58I don't buy it.
00:27:03Who the fuck is that guy, huh?
00:27:05He's fucking awesome.
00:27:09Don't worry, Noah.
00:27:10This is just the beginning.
00:27:12Everything you owe me, you're going to repay.
00:27:15A hundred times over.
00:27:26Welcome home, little one.
00:27:29I hired a wellness therapist, a nutritionist, and a private nurse just for you.
00:27:36Thank you, Vlad.
00:27:38I love you so much.
00:27:40I can't believe I gave all this up for an idiot like Noah.
00:27:43I was so stupid.
00:27:45It's alright.
00:27:46You'll always be daddy's girl.
00:27:48Like I told you, it was your choice to make.
00:27:51You're allowed to regret it.
00:27:53Now, it's time to start over.
00:28:11Miss, this dress is called Paris by Night.
00:28:14It was custom designed for you by Alex Moria.
00:28:17Every diamond is worth over a million dollars.
00:28:21It is truly priceless.
00:28:24Try it on.
00:28:34Beautiful.
00:28:37My precious jewel finally is herself again.
00:28:41There's an event tonight at Christie's.
00:28:43Go and have some fun.
00:28:44You belong in a gown like this.
00:28:46Not an apron.
00:28:48That I... I don't understand.
00:28:51Alex Moria is an up-and-coming star in the design world.
00:28:54He's a once-in-a-century talent.
00:28:56His pieces are incredibly rare.
00:28:58Why would he make something just for me?
00:29:01Isn't he a friend of yours?
00:29:04Sir, you waited ten years.
00:29:07Don't you want to go in and meet her?
00:29:10So you flew all the way here just to bring her this dress.
00:29:16If she doesn't remember me, it's fine.
00:29:20I already waited ten years.
00:29:22A little longer won't hurt.
00:29:25Let's go.
00:29:29It's okay if you don't remember him.
00:29:31You'll see him soon enough.
00:29:33Okay.
00:29:34Come on.
00:29:36Let's go to the auction.
00:29:39Okay.
00:29:49Honey.
00:29:50Yeah?
00:29:50I heard that the Romano heiress is making a rare public appearance tonight.
00:29:55This is our chance.
00:29:56We need to make sure she sees us and everything will be perfect.
00:30:01Oh, my God.
00:30:02If we could just talk to her, take a selfie and post it online,
00:30:05nobody would dare look down on us.
00:30:07Look, when she arrives, be polite, be humble.
00:30:12Look, we get one chance at a first impression.
00:30:16One.
00:30:18And once the heiress knows us, we will make Sofia and her useless father pay.
00:30:27Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming tonight's most distinguished guest,
00:30:34the heiress of the Romano group, Sofia Romano.
00:31:02Wow.
00:31:03She's even more stunning than the rumors.
00:31:06What?
00:31:07Am I seeing things?
00:31:08She just...
00:31:09She looks just like...
00:31:10Sofia?
00:31:12My Sofia?
00:31:13No, no, no.
00:31:14That's impossible.
00:31:15This can't be happening.
00:31:19Oh, my God.
00:31:20That's the heart of the ocean necklace.
00:31:22Last year's finale piece.
00:31:23It's worth millions.
00:31:25And the gown.
00:31:26I swear I've seen that before.
00:31:28It looks familiar.
00:31:29Sofia?
00:31:30Noa?
00:31:31What is she doing here?
00:31:32Did she follow us?
00:31:34Why is she pretending to be the Romano heiress?
00:31:39I should've known, Sofia.
00:31:41You just can't let it go, can you?
00:31:44Why do you insist on embarrassing yourself like this?
00:31:47Renting a fake dress and knockoff jewelry doesn't make you upper class.
00:31:52This is pathetic.
00:31:54Not everyone is as blind as you three.
00:31:56Sofia, don't be a bitch.
00:31:58Noa here, he's trying to help you.
00:32:00Stop taking things that aren't yours.
00:32:02It will end badly for you.
00:32:03A cheating husband.
00:32:05A mistress who knew exactly what she was doing.
00:32:07And a lap dog, her sister.
00:32:10Who makes you three think that you have the right to judge me?
00:32:13So they're just cheating scumbags.
00:32:15No wonder they look so cheap.
00:32:16Shut up!
00:32:17I am the CEO of the Romano group.
00:32:20Once I find out who the true heiress is,
00:32:22you will regret every word you've spoken tonight.
00:32:25Oh, my God.
00:32:26That dress.
00:32:27I knew I've seen it before.
00:32:28It's Paris by Night by Alex Morphier.
00:32:31Paris by Night?
00:32:33The non-sale piece?
00:32:34Yes, the non-sale piece.
00:32:36The one he swore he would only fit for his muse.
00:32:41Noah, you said she was a nobody.
00:32:43How could she possibly afford Paris by Night?
00:32:47Hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:32:49Get real.
00:32:50Everything she's wearing was bought by my brother.
00:32:53Including this dress.
00:32:55Tell them, Noah.
00:32:56Did you buy this dress?
00:32:58How am I supposed to know?
00:32:59Even if I didn't buy it, you probably spent my money on it.
00:33:02This dress is designed by Alex Morier.
00:33:05It's called Paris by Night.
00:33:06Even if you worked at the Romano group for 50 years,
00:33:09you wouldn't even be able to afford a single diamond on it.
00:33:11I'm the CEO of the Romano group.
00:33:14If I can't afford it, how could you?
00:33:15You're a housewife.
00:33:17Sofia, it's a fake.
00:33:18Just admit it.
00:33:20It's not a fake.
00:33:21It's real.
00:33:22And I can afford it.
00:33:24Are you really pretending to be the Romano heiress?
00:33:26Who says I'm pretending?
00:33:28You're just three idiots that can't understand that I'm a Romano.
00:33:32Get out of my way.
00:33:34You're the true Romano heiress?
00:33:37Did you hear that?
00:33:39If she's the real Romano heiress, then I'm the Queen of England.
00:33:44Careful, Sofia.
00:33:46Impersonating a member of the Romano family has legal consequences.
00:33:50Hey, listen up, everyone.
00:33:52This woman here snuck in tonight.
00:33:54She's posing as the true Romano heiress,
00:33:56and this dress she's wearing is fake.
00:33:59Let go of me!
00:34:01Oh, I didn't realize how cheaply made this dress was.
00:34:05See?
00:34:06If it was real, it wouldn't be falling apart.
00:34:09Do you have any idea how expensive this dress is?
00:34:13Only trash like you cares this much about a dress.
00:34:17Exactly.
00:34:17Since my brother bought this, it's only right that stick it back.
00:34:21Get off of me!
00:34:21No!
00:34:22Stop!
00:34:23Get off of me!
00:34:24Hey!
00:34:30Stop that!
00:34:36Call the police.
00:34:38This is intentional destruction of very valuable property.
00:34:46It's a fake.
00:34:47Here.
00:34:48This will pay for a couple knock-offs.
00:34:56That wouldn't even cover the stitching.
00:34:58Don't push it, Sofia.
00:34:59You should be grateful she's paying anything.
00:35:02She's scamming you all.
00:35:03She's wearing a fake dress.
00:35:05She got exposed, and now she's asking for money.
00:35:08I mean, judge it for yourselves.
00:35:13Every stone on the Paris by night comes from the pink star mines in South Africa.
00:35:19This is the latest laser technology.
00:35:22Should prove that it's real.
00:35:28Real diamonds don't burn.
00:35:30They don't melt.
00:35:31But, they do refract pink light under heat.
00:35:38Hey, you can keep pretending.
00:35:39But when that thing turns to ash, you got some explaining to do.
00:35:44My god.
00:35:46King.
00:35:46Fire.
00:35:47That diamond is real.
00:35:48If the stone is real, then the dress must be real.
00:35:52Wait.
00:35:53Wait.
00:35:53That guy looks familiar.
00:35:56That's Alex Moria.
00:35:57The designer of Paris by night.
00:36:01Mr. Moria, thank you.
00:36:03But, I don't believe we've met.
00:36:05We have, Sofia.
00:36:07We've known each other for a long time.
00:36:09You were very young, so you probably don't remember.
00:36:13That means...
00:36:14This dress.
00:36:16I designed it.
00:36:18For my muse.
00:36:20You.
00:36:21It's one of a kind.
00:36:23Seeing you wear it tonight.
00:36:26Well...
00:36:27All those ten years of waiting are worthwhile.
00:36:31I see what's going on here.
00:36:33You've been sleeping with this guy.
00:36:35The whole time.
00:36:37It makes sense.
00:36:38That's why you wanted to get divorced so quickly.
00:36:40You two are disgust-
00:36:41Okay, first of all, my feelings for Sofia were one-sided for ten years.
00:36:45We never made any contact.
00:36:46And second of all, someone like you?
00:36:49No.
00:36:50You don't get to judge her.
00:36:52Her leaving you was the best decision she ever made, and now she has a better future.
00:36:56One that I would like to be a part of.
00:36:58Hopefully.
00:36:59Are you serious?
00:37:01You're a top designer, and you waited ten years for a random housewife?
00:37:06She left her friends, she left her family, and she ran off to Washington with me.
00:37:12And now you want to be with her still?
00:37:15No.
00:37:16Only a fool settles for another man's leftovers.
00:37:22Sofia's courage and sincerity are not to be used as weapons against her.
00:37:29Mr. Maurier.
00:37:30Mr. Mano.
00:37:31The auction is about to begin.
00:37:32Let's go to the VIP section.
00:37:36Shall we?
00:37:39She fooled you, you know.
00:37:41Her father's a homeless bum.
00:37:43She's not a Romano.
00:37:44Shut up, fool.
00:37:46Sofia has no reason to lie to me.
00:37:50That's impossible.
00:37:52Look, if her father is Vito Romano, my promotion would have gotten revoked already.
00:37:56Exactly.
00:37:57Your celebration dinner is in three days.
00:37:59The invitation already went out.
00:38:01If she was a real Romano heiress, her father wouldn't allow it.
00:38:04Right.
00:38:05We wouldn't still be standing.
00:38:07I mean, it must be true that she's just putting on her money.
00:38:09Well, she's done this before, you know.
00:38:12She hired someone to play her rich father.
00:38:15And she's probably doing that again with this designer guy.
00:38:18We gotta figure this out, though.
00:38:19Yeah.
00:38:20Let's go.
00:38:26Would you like me to get them out of here?
00:38:29Or I can call your dad and have Noah fired?
00:38:33No, thank you.
00:38:35I'd like to finish this myself.
00:38:37Really?
00:38:39How?
00:38:40I wanna make sure Noah knows exactly who he offended.
00:38:44And exactly what he lost.
00:38:48Fighting words.
00:38:49Well, if you need me help, just give the word.
00:38:53I want you to help me make sure that Noah is blacklisted from the industry and high society altogether.
00:38:59I want him to remember this forever.
00:39:01That betrayal always has a price.
00:39:04And in this case, the price will be costly.
00:39:09Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to welcome you all to our annual auction.
00:39:15Thank you all for your patience.
00:39:16The auction will now begin.
00:39:20Our first lot this evening is a sapphire brooch from the 19th century French Royal Collection.
00:39:28The starting bid is $200,000.
00:39:32Minimum increase, $10,000.
00:39:34Blue looks good on you.
00:39:36Do you like it?
00:39:38$250,000.
00:39:40She actually did it.
00:39:42If she is the real heiress, then we should see which one she likes the most.
00:39:47And we should buy it.
00:39:48And then give it to her at the celebration dinner.
00:39:51It's a public apology.
00:39:52Yes.
00:39:53That's the perfect test.
00:39:55I will see if she really has the money.
00:39:58I was saving this money to grease some palms after my promotion.
00:40:01Fine.
00:40:02Let's see what she's made of.
00:40:05$260,000.
00:40:06I have $260,000.
00:40:09Going once.
00:40:10Going twice.
00:40:12Sold.
00:40:13To number 068.
00:40:20Our second item is a beautiful diamond necklace.
00:40:24Extremely rare diamond necklace.
00:40:24This is a beautiful diamond necklace.
00:40:27She folded already.
00:40:29A true Romano Ares wouldn't bat an eye over a couple hundred.
00:40:32The bidding will start at $150,000.
00:40:37$190,000.
00:40:39I have $190,000.
00:40:42Going once.
00:40:43Going twice.
00:40:45Sold.
00:40:49Our third lock this evening is a beautiful,
00:40:53extremely rare blue and white Ming dynasty bars.
00:40:58$800,000.
00:41:01$850,000.
00:41:04I have $850,000.
00:41:06Going once.
00:41:07Going twice.
00:41:07The more he pays, the higher he's worse.
00:41:10The higher he pays.
00:41:14Hey, Noah.
00:41:15Maybe we should stop.
00:41:17I mean, we're running out of money.
00:41:18I still have the million that Sophia gave me.
00:41:20Once I get fully positioned, this will be chump change.
00:41:24Ladies and gentlemen.
00:41:25Our final lock this evening.
00:41:27And our most exquisite.
00:41:29The Swan's Dream.
00:41:31Created by the legendary courtier, Elena Valentino.
00:41:35A privately commissioned, early, one-of-a-kind piece.
00:41:39The bidding will start at $50,000.
00:41:42Alex.
00:41:44I remember now.
00:41:52What are you drawing? Can I see?
00:41:55Um, I'm not that good yet.
00:41:57But I swear, when I grow up, I'll be the greatest designer in the world.
00:42:01And I'll create the most beautiful dress for you.
00:42:04A hundred, no, a thousand times better than your ballet costume.
00:42:08And I'll give it to you.
00:42:10Really? Then let's make a promise.
00:42:12If you do, I'll wear it at our wedding.
00:42:16Um, you mean...
00:42:18Yes, I'll marry you.
00:42:24That dress, I thought I lost it forever.
00:42:29I want it.
00:42:30I don't care how much it costs, it's mine.
00:42:36Noah! Look at them.
00:42:38See how much Sofia cares about the dress?
00:42:40He does too.
00:42:42Then let's just take them, like the others.
00:42:46Let's see how long she'll keep pretending.
00:42:48Yeah, if she really wants this, then I'm gonna take it.
00:42:52Yeah.
00:42:54One million dollars.
00:42:55One million, one hundred thousand.
00:42:58Two million.
00:42:59Two million, one hundred thousand.
00:43:03Five million.
00:43:06No, we can't back down now.
00:43:08Well, I'm already in this form, what other choice do I have?
00:43:10Oh, just use your position as a COS leverage.
00:43:13Your future income, borrow and then pay back later.
00:43:15We have to meet them.
00:43:18Five million, one hundred thousand.
00:43:23Ten million.
00:43:28Ten million?
00:43:30How could she possibly have that much money?
00:43:32There's no way I could raise that kind of cash so fast,
00:43:35even if I went to loan sharks.
00:43:38Buyer zero six six bids ten million.
00:43:42First call.
00:43:44Noah, what do we do?
00:43:46It's fake.
00:43:47It's all fake.
00:43:49There is no way she has ten million dollars.
00:43:52She's a nobody.
00:43:53No family.
00:43:54No background.
00:43:56She climbed her way to the top by sleeping with men.
00:44:01Check her credentials.
00:44:02She's maliciously inflating this bid.
00:44:05While you're at it, go ahead and check theirs too.
00:44:23Verification complete.
00:44:24Buyer zero six six is confirmed for credit coverage of ten million.
00:44:31Sold to buyer zero six six.
00:44:39I don't believe it.
00:44:42You're all in on it.
00:44:44She's a housewife.
00:44:45Her father is a bum.
00:44:47That card's probably stolen.
00:44:48Alex gave it to her.
00:44:49They're scammers.
00:44:50Who said my daughter is a scam?
00:44:59Sofia Romano is the sole and rightful heir of the Romano group.
00:45:04Oh my God.
00:45:05That's the chairman of the Romano group.
00:45:06He's here.
00:45:07That's Sofia's father.
00:45:09I thought that was just an actor that she hired.
00:45:12How could he possibly be the Romano chairman?
00:45:15I mean...
00:45:17Good evening, chairman.
00:45:19Hey.
00:45:19You.
00:45:20Tell me.
00:45:20Who's that man?
00:45:21He was the chairman of the Romano group.
00:45:23Don't you recognize him from the headquarters?
00:45:30Daddy, what are you doing here?
00:45:32Daddy.
00:45:33Chairman Romano.
00:45:35Sofia is my only daughter.
00:45:37She stayed out of the public eye for many years.
00:45:40And now it's time for me to formally introduce her.
00:45:47She said that her father was unemployed.
00:45:49A drifter.
00:45:50Still doubting me, Noah?
00:45:52I told you the truth in Washington.
00:45:53Maybe you're too arrogant or stupid or maybe both to believe it.
00:45:58What does this mean?
00:45:59What's going on?
00:46:01Is Sofia actually the Romano heiress?
00:46:04Then... then my brother's promotion.
00:46:06That's not my problem anymore.
00:46:10As of today, everything in the Romano group is handled entirely by Sofia.
00:46:20No, I don't buy it. Sofia's dad just happens to look like the chairman. That's all.
00:46:24I knew it. Look at her face. She has a poor girl's face.
00:46:28There's no way she's a... she's an heiress.
00:46:31But... let's all talk.
00:46:33If she really was the daughter of the Romano chairman, we would be fired already, right?
00:46:38Since some of you still refuse to see what's right in front of you,
00:46:42as the newly appointed successor of the Romano group,
00:46:45I have an announcement to me.
00:46:58Here's the raw finance data.
00:47:00I boosted your regional numbers by 15% and cut changes by 10.
00:47:04James was my biggest threat in this competition.
00:47:06I owe you.
00:47:11No, it's... it's fake.
00:47:13It's fake. This is edited.
00:47:16No. Why are you all looking at me? It's not real. It's fake.
00:47:20Security footage shows design director Lily Harrison and Noah Anderson
00:47:25having an illicit affair in the office,
00:47:28abusing their positions to manipulate company policy.
00:47:31The Romano group officially terminates both of your contracts,
00:47:36effective immediately.
00:47:38You're both hereby blacklisted.
00:47:45I am Alex Maurier of the Maurier group,
00:47:48and I can confirm that none of our companies will ever employ these two,
00:47:53as well as any relatives or associates.
00:47:56Thank you, Alex. You always have my mind.
00:47:59Haven't you embarrassed me enough?
00:48:01Hiring actors, a designer, a chairman?
00:48:04This whole performance.
00:48:05What do you gain by humiliating me?
00:48:07You're Delulu.
00:48:09My brother's CO position was approved by senior leadership.
00:48:12You can't just fire him.
00:48:14Yes, Sophia. It's your brain.
00:48:16Housewife to an heiress overnight?
00:48:18This stunt has gone on far too long.
00:48:20Just wait and see.
00:48:21Wait for what?
00:48:22More paid actors?
00:48:24Another performance?
00:48:25Look, I don't care what you say.
00:48:26I will never believe that you were a corporate princess.
00:48:29Okay.
00:48:30I'm gonna count to three.
00:48:31And then you'll know.
00:48:34One.
00:48:36Two.
00:48:39Three.
00:48:41What is three seconds gonna prove?
00:48:43Stop pretending.
00:48:57I'm fired? I'm fired? Is this real?
00:49:02This is real?
00:49:03She really is the true Romano heiress.
00:49:06It can't be.
00:49:07If she is, we're cooked.
00:49:11I take it you believe me now.
00:49:13Go ahead.
00:49:14Please.
00:49:15Please don't fire me.
00:49:16I need this job, please.
00:49:17I'm begging you.
00:49:18Get away from me.
00:49:22Sophia.
00:49:23This is one big misunderstanding, okay?
00:49:26Let's get remarried.
00:49:27You don't have to fire me.
00:49:29We can run the group together.
00:49:31As husband and wife.
00:49:33Done.
00:49:34I can handle it.
00:49:38Alex.
00:49:39Keep an eye on her.
00:49:45Give me another chance.
00:49:46Okay, let's talk about this.
00:49:48If I had known that you were the true Romano heiress,
00:49:51I would have never taken you out of New York.
00:49:53We wouldn't have gone to Washington.
00:49:54I wouldn't have made you suffer like this.
00:49:59Wow.
00:50:00Noah.
00:50:01You switch sides real fast.
00:50:03Do you remember what you said to me when I begged you to leave New York?
00:50:07You told me your heart and soul were in Washington
00:50:09and that you couldn't possibly leave.
00:50:12Look.
00:50:13I said that because I didn't-
00:50:15You tricked me.
00:50:16Into giving up everything.
00:50:18And to follow you to Washington.
00:50:20And now that you know who I am,
00:50:22you're fucking performing again.
00:50:26Where's your heart and soul now, Noah?
00:50:28Look.
00:50:29Sofia.
00:50:30I didn't know that you were someone who was so...
00:50:34important.
00:50:34Of course.
00:50:35I should have known.
00:50:36I should have known that your love had a fucking price tag.
00:50:44Look.
00:50:45See this photo?
00:50:46It's our wedding day.
00:50:47I'm sorry.
00:50:48Look how happy you are.
00:50:50You said you would love me forever.
00:50:59I'm sorry, Sofia.
00:51:00I should have never gotten in the way of your relationship.
00:51:02I should have never gotten between you two.
00:51:05Noah, he's always loved you.
00:51:06Please forgive us.
00:51:08Please.
00:51:10No one knows he was wrong.
00:51:13Look how happy you were.
00:51:15Don't throw it all away.
00:51:18I know what I did was...
00:51:22was unforgivable.
00:51:24But what we had was real.
00:51:26You know that?
00:51:27Let's get remarried.
00:51:28Look, I'll cut Lily off.
00:51:30I don't care about her.
00:51:31Let's get remarried.
00:51:32I want to protect you.
00:51:33I want to love you like I promised you on our wedding day.
00:51:35Please.
00:51:50Noah, you're a parasite and a fucking hypocrite.
00:51:52I married you and all you do is climb your way up to the top.
00:51:55You lie.
00:51:56You cheat.
00:51:57You abuse.
00:51:58You were even willing to sacrifice your unborn child.
00:52:01How low will you go?
00:52:03Don't.
00:52:05Don't say it.
00:52:06You knew he was married and you muscled your way in.
00:52:10Evil.
00:52:11Conniving.
00:52:12So beautiful.
00:52:13But you're rotten to the core.
00:52:14You two deserve each other.
00:52:19What do you have against me?
00:52:20I...
00:52:20I didn't hurt you.
00:52:22You?
00:52:23You're stupid.
00:52:25Stubborn.
00:52:25You leech off of your brother.
00:52:27All you do is stir up trouble and chase Clem.
00:52:31You're worse than them.
00:52:32Look.
00:52:33I said I would remarry you.
00:52:35Why are you not forgiving me?
00:52:38All this talk about marriage after what you've done?
00:52:42You know what?
00:52:43You know what it is?
00:52:45You're jealous.
00:52:46You're jealous that I chose Lily and not you.
00:52:49Hey everybody.
00:52:50Take a look at the true Romano heiress here.
00:52:53Someone who leaves a marriage over a meaningless affair.
00:52:58Meaningless?
00:53:02You begged me to be with you Noah.
00:53:04Oh.
00:53:04You said that Sofia was a old, useless housewife.
00:53:09Don't deny it.
00:53:10Stop it.
00:53:10Both of you.
00:53:11You know what?
00:53:11You're responsible for this.
00:53:12Oh really me?
00:53:13Yeah.
00:53:14You started this.
00:53:16If you hadn't consistently been flirting with me in the office,
00:53:18we wouldn't be in this position.
00:53:20Bullshit.
00:53:21Is it?
00:53:21Yes.
00:53:22You know it's true.
00:53:23The only reason I was there for you was because you needed to get promoted.
00:53:26Oh wait.
00:53:26You know what?
00:53:27What about them?
00:53:29You put them on the company cards.
00:53:31They were fake.
00:53:32They were fake.
00:53:33They were fucking real bags.
00:53:34Stop it.
00:53:34People are watching people.
00:53:36They were real.
00:53:37Get them out please.
00:53:39Don't want them disturbing Romano group guests.
00:53:43Let's get out of here.
00:53:45I'll take you to your car.
00:53:54Noah!
00:53:55How could you not know that your wife was a Romano?
00:53:59Now thanks to you, I'm fired and no company will ever hire me again because it's all your...
00:54:05Why are you screaming at me?
00:54:08I am also fired.
00:54:09Look, if I knew that she was an heiress, do you really think I would have treated her like this?
00:54:14All right?
00:54:14And no, you two, you encouraged it.
00:54:16What?
00:54:17Yeah.
00:54:18You were the one calling her a washed up housewife.
00:54:21Just think of something.
00:54:23We need the Romano money.
00:54:27Oh, Sophia, please.
00:54:29I fucked up.
00:54:30I'm an idiot.
00:54:31Please forgive me for the sake of our five year relationship and our unborn child.
00:54:36Please, can you just forgive me?
00:54:38Now you want to remember our five years together.
00:54:40When I was seven months pregnant, in pain, could barely walk...
00:54:43You set me out in the freezing cold to buy a dessert for your mistress.
00:54:46I can explain!
00:54:47You killed my child, Noah!
00:54:50And when my life was on the line, you said save the baby instead.
00:54:53You didn't give a fuck whether I lived or died.
00:54:55I was out of my mind!
00:54:57I'm an idiot!
00:54:58I'm sorry!
00:54:59Please!
00:54:59Don't waste another second on this guy, okay?
00:55:01The car is ready, let's just go.
00:55:02Hey!
00:55:03What are you cheating on?
00:55:04With this dress designer?
00:55:06Is that why you were so keen on an early divorce?
00:55:09Huh?
00:55:09You know what, Noah?
00:55:10For what little dignity you have left, stop fucking embarrassing yourself.
00:55:20Here, have some water.
00:55:22Take a moment.
00:55:23You don't look well.
00:55:29For today.
00:55:30Thank you for standing by me this whole time.
00:55:34Look...
00:55:35My marriage was a mess.
00:55:39I just don't think I'm in the headspace for something new right now.
00:55:43That's okay.
00:55:45There's time.
00:55:46I'm not asking for anything right now.
00:55:48Just think of it as me keeping a childhood pinky promise.
00:55:56But from now on, Noah does not have the slightest chance to hurt you again.
00:56:03There's no need to thank me.
00:56:05It's my duty to protect you.
00:56:08I'm never going to let you down.
00:56:14Oh, there's Jake.
00:56:17Final notice.
00:56:18Seven items purchased.
00:56:20Balance due.
00:56:21$985,750.
00:56:24Payment required within 24 hours.
00:56:27Mr. Anderson, your $200,000.
00:56:30Overdraft alert. Credit limit exceeded by one hundred...
00:56:33Over a million dollars due.
00:56:35What did you buy? I thought you only got a few small items.
00:56:39Yeah, I just wanted to outbid Sophia to humiliate her.
00:56:41I didn't think she would keep going, but she did. I'm fucked.
00:56:48Noah Anderson, Lily Harrison, Emma Anderson, stop right there!
00:56:52What do you want? We're just leaving.
00:56:54According to our footage, a pink diamond worth of $300,000 fell from Romano Estres.
00:56:59Yes. Someone here took it. We need it back right now.
00:57:03What are you talking about? What diamond?
00:57:07You're lying! No, and you know what? Sophia is probably trying to set us up.
00:57:11Yeah, do you have proof of this? If you don't, I'm going to sue you for defamation. Just know that.
00:57:21No. It's not what it looks like.
00:57:23I was planning to give it back.
00:57:26You stole it?
00:57:29Are you insane?
00:57:30Emma!
00:57:31Give it back. Now!
00:57:34No! I won't!
00:57:37Why should I? That bitch owes me.
00:57:40She ruined everything.
00:57:42This is payback.
00:57:45Restrain her. Recover the stolen item.
00:57:48Let go of me, you thieves! That's mine!
00:57:51Noah, Lily, help me!
00:57:54You've already caused enough problems. Just give it back.
00:57:57Recovered. Emma Anderson will now be transferred to police custody.
00:58:00No! Not the police! I don't want to go to jail! Noah, help me!
00:58:05Hey, hey, hey, hey! Look, there's no need for jail, okay? You have the item back. She's young, look at
00:58:11her. She doesn't know any better.
00:58:13The judge will decide if that is a valid excuse for the theft of $300,000 property. Go!
00:58:19Noah! I don't want to go!
00:58:22Noah, we have to do something.
00:58:27Do what? They just took Emma to jail. We owe over a million dollars. We're blacklisted everywhere. It's over.
00:58:34No! There's one thing. If I can be the Romano heiress, then we can turn things around.
00:58:41Sophia falls and we survive.
00:58:43Are you insane?
00:58:46What? Are you fucking insane?
00:58:49If Sophia can crush us just by flaunting the title Romano heiress, then we should destroy the title itself.
00:58:56What do you mean destroy? Look, her father is Vito Romano. That doesn't change.
00:59:02It could!
00:59:04What if I was the real heiress, the real daughter, and Sophia was just an imposter? We were switched at
00:59:13birth.
00:59:15Have you lost your mind? Seriously? Have you never heard of a DNA test? A lie this big will fall
00:59:23apart quickly.
00:59:24What if it isn't a lie? I just need you to tell me if you're going to help me or
00:59:29not.
00:59:32Okay? I'll do it myself. If you won't help.
00:59:39Shit, what do I have to lose? I'm ruined anyway.
00:59:44Yeah, okay. Alright. Fine. But you promised me this. If this works, you help me pay off the debt and
00:59:53you help me get my job back. You got it?
00:59:55Deal.
00:59:56Fine. Deal. It's freezing. Let's go.
01:00:07In three days, I'm hosting a welcome gala for you at the Romano Group.
01:00:12A welcome gala? Don't you think that's a bit much, Dad? I just got back.
01:00:17It's not just a gala. I'm going to announce to the Romano Group and the entire world that you are
01:00:24my only legitimate heir.
01:00:27Everything you lost, the respect, status, the limelight. I'm giving it all back to you. And more.
01:00:39Thank you. Thank you, Dad.
01:00:50Thank you all for coming tonight.
01:00:52It is my honor to introduce the sole and lawful heir of the Romano Group, Sophia Romano.
01:01:02So this is the legendary Romano heiress. She has a real presence.
01:01:08No wonder why Alex was looking for her for ten years. Any man would.
01:01:15Thank you, Alex.
01:01:17And thank you all for joining us.
01:01:19Today, I assume the position as chairwoman of the Romano Group.
01:01:24On behalf of the Marier family, I'd like to formally propose a strategic partnership with the Romano Group.
01:01:30May both families stand together through the good times, the bad times, and even the ugly times.
01:01:37The Marier heir isn't even trying to hide his feelings. This will definitely end in marriage.
01:01:43If these two families are joint forces, that's an unstoppable corporate empire right there.
01:01:51Yeah. Looks like we're gonna watch how we're gonna treat Sophia from now on. She's got more than Vito on
01:01:57her side.
01:01:58Wait!
01:02:02You're not Vito's daughter. I am. I am the real Romano heiress.
01:02:09What did you just say?
01:02:10For God's sake. Security, get these two troublemakers out of here.
01:02:14Wait!
01:02:18This DNA test proves that I am Vito Romano's true biological daughter.
01:02:25You expect us to believe that? That's obviously a fake report.
01:02:28Let me ask you then.
01:02:30Who is this woman? Do you know her?
01:02:33Mary?
01:02:35She was her housekeeper for 25 years. Of course I know her.
01:02:39Go on. Tell him.
01:02:4125 years ago when I was the Romano family housekeeper, I took a bribe and I swapped my newborn baby
01:02:47for Vito's.
01:02:49Lily is the true Romano Harris.
01:02:52Mary.
01:02:53You raised me from birth. You know I'm a Romano.
01:02:57Why?
01:02:57Why are you twisting the truth like this?
01:03:00This is...
01:03:01It is the truth.
01:03:02You're my daughter.
01:03:04I've lived with the Guilt for so many years and I can't bear it anymore.
01:03:07Who knew that the Romano group had a secret like this?
01:03:11Honestly, Lily's story makes sense.
01:03:14Stop. Don't listen to them.
01:03:16They're spouting lies. I am the real Romano heiress. She's the fake.
01:03:22We have witnesses and evidence. How does that make me the fake?
01:03:27She is the fake. And I figured it out a very long time ago. And that's why I've been messing
01:03:32with her.
01:03:33She's making me pay.
01:03:34You forged documents, made up stories, and hired people to smear my fiancé. Of course you're going to pay for
01:03:40it.
01:03:41You've been fooled too, Alex. Ask anyone here. Over the past five years, who has been stepping into the Romano
01:03:49headquarters in New York, attending all the executive meetings?
01:03:53Have any of you ever seen Sophia Romano at the Washington office? At any corporate event?
01:04:02Now that you mention it, I heard that the Romano heiress kept a low profile in New York.
01:04:08I've never seen her at the Washington Brent. Or in public, for that matter.
01:04:13Yeah, this is the first time Sophia appears in public.
01:04:17This is ridiculous. Do you really think some cliché baby swap story, a piece of paper, and a paid liar
01:04:23is going to shake the Romano family?
01:04:25The chairman is headed here any second now. The father knows his own daughter.
01:04:31Sophia!
01:04:33Dad?
01:04:37What is he doing here? That's not my father. That's my dad's assistant, Mark.
01:04:42Oh, thank God you're here. Where's my dad?
01:04:44These people are bullying me. I need his help.
01:04:48Those two seem awfully close.
01:04:50Don't worry. Mr. Romano is on his way.
01:04:52He got held up.
01:04:54When he heard that his daughter was being threatened, he was furious.
01:04:58He sent me ahead to handle the situation.
01:05:01That's Mr. Romano's assistant. I've seen him at the New York headquarters.
01:05:06Then Lily really must be the chairman's daughter.
01:05:09Since when does Vito Romano send his assistant to preside over events like this?
01:05:13Or recognize people that we don't even know?
01:05:15I speak for Vito Romano. He knows the whole story.
01:05:19He has decided to accept his biological daughter back into his family.
01:05:24As for Sophia...
01:05:26No. No, this can't be happening.
01:05:28He has decided not to press charges for these impersonations as a testament to the years you spent with his
01:05:35family.
01:05:36However, as of this moment, you are to have no association with the Romano's whatsoever.
01:05:41The chairman has decided.
01:05:45Alex, do you understand now?
01:05:48I'm the real Romano heiress.
01:05:50I'm the only one worthy of being part of Morier family.
01:05:55Don't fall for a cheap imposter like her.
01:05:58Do you want to call my dad?
01:05:59He's not your father.
01:06:00I'll give you one chance.
01:06:02Admit it.
01:06:03And then get on your knees and beg for forgiveness.
01:06:06And I'll ask him to not take this any further.
01:06:09Alex, be smart about this.
01:06:11If you side with the rejected Romano, you stand against Mr. Romano.
01:06:17So you're saying you speak on Vito Romano's behalf?
01:06:21Yes.
01:06:22And you're saying if I stand with Sophia, I'm opposing the Romano group?
01:06:26Obviously.
01:06:28That's for my fiancée, Sophia Romano.
01:06:31And I would love to know where a fired assistant gets the gall to speak on the chairman's behalf.
01:06:38He was fired?
01:06:40Three days ago.
01:06:41Vito fired Mark Stone on the spot for allegedly leaking business secrets to one of our competitors.
01:06:47They kept it quiet to protect the group's reputation and its share price.
01:06:52That explains it.
01:06:54I ran into Mark in front of the chairman's office three days ago.
01:06:59He was carrying a box.
01:07:01I heard a lot of shouting that day.
01:07:05Now that makes sense.
01:07:07So, Lele's story is fake?
01:07:10You were fired?
01:07:11How could you not tell me?
01:07:12I thought Mr. Romano trusted you.
01:07:15Don't believe this nonsense.
01:07:16I was not fired.
01:07:18I was reassigned to something confidential.
01:07:21This is all just very intense.
01:07:23That's all.
01:07:24Alex, I can't believe you would fabricate something to protect this imposter.
01:07:29Mark is my father's most trusted aide.
01:07:33Alex, you've really crossed the line.
01:07:35When Mr. Romano gets here, you're going to get it.
01:07:40I'm going to call my father.
01:07:42And when he gets here, the truth will be revealed.
01:07:47Sir, that clip was recorded five minutes ago.
01:07:50And that only Lele is claiming that Sophie is the housekeeper's daughter.
01:07:54And she says that she is the real heir.
01:07:56And Mark, Mark is backing her.
01:07:59Housekeeper's daughter?
01:08:00My Sophia was raised in the bosom of the Romano family.
01:08:03Like a precious jewel.
01:08:05Step on it.
01:08:07Anyone who hurts my daughter will pay.
01:08:09Come on!
01:08:10Yes, sir!
01:08:15Nice performance, Sophia.
01:08:18Pretending to call my dad?
01:08:21Well, guess what?
01:08:23He's already on the way.
01:08:24He doesn't have time to take fake calls.
01:08:27She's stalling.
01:08:29The call's fake.
01:08:31Just like everything else about her.
01:08:36It's connecting.
01:08:40See?
01:08:41No answer.
01:08:43Because you're a fake.
01:08:44He's not your dad.
01:08:49He's not your dad.
01:08:51So what?
01:08:52He's busy.
01:08:52That doesn't mean anything.
01:08:54You're still acting?
01:08:56Okay.
01:08:56Well, I bet you don't even have his real number.
01:09:00So why don't you call him then?
01:09:02Yeah.
01:09:03Come on, Lily.
01:09:04You're claiming to be his daughter.
01:09:06Call him.
01:09:10Fine.
01:09:11I'll call him.
01:09:13And when he gets here,
01:09:14he'll see everyone who's bullying his real daughter.
01:09:22See?
01:09:23I have his number.
01:09:24Your little scheme is up, Sophia.
01:09:27How did you get his private number?
01:09:30Because she's his real daughter.
01:09:35Dad, where are you?
01:09:38These people are picking on me.
01:09:40That girl, Sophia, she's still pretending to be your daughter.
01:09:43And Alex, he's bullying me.
01:09:46And they're being mean to Mark, too.
01:09:49Can you help?
01:09:51I'm on my way.
01:09:54Oh.
01:09:55That voice.
01:09:56No, it can't be.
01:09:59See, Sophia?
01:10:00Sophia, my dad's on the way.
01:10:01You're finished.
01:10:03Okay.
01:10:04Well, hurry up.
01:10:05They're bullying me.
01:10:07Okay, I love you.
01:10:08See you soon.
01:10:10You know, it's not too late
01:10:12to beg Lily for forgiveness.
01:10:15Apologize before things get ugly.
01:10:17Just admit it, Sophia.
01:10:18You're an imposter.
01:10:19No, this can't be real.
01:10:21Stay calm.
01:10:22Voices can be copied.
01:10:23Numbers can be faked.
01:10:25You're still protecting her?
01:10:27Well, we'll see how that changes
01:10:29when my dad gets here.
01:10:31You'll be sorry.
01:10:38Who spread the lie
01:10:40that my daughter Sophia
01:10:41is a housekeeper's child?
01:10:44Dad.
01:10:46I can't believe this is happening.
01:10:50Looks like I'm right on time.
01:10:52Dad.
01:10:56I'm here.
01:10:57You're safe now.
01:10:59I heard someone outside
01:11:01was claiming my daughter
01:11:02as a fraud.
01:11:03I'm not lying.
01:11:05I'm your real daughter.
01:11:06Here.
01:11:08I've been searching for you
01:11:09for so long.
01:11:11Dad.
01:11:17How dare you call me that?
01:11:21It's a fake report.
01:11:24Fire traitor.
01:11:25A story full of holes.
01:11:27You think you can humiliate
01:11:28my daughter and my family?
01:11:30I didn't.
01:11:32I didn't.
01:11:33I didn't mean to do that.
01:11:34Willie Harrison.
01:11:35Noah Anderson.
01:11:36It looks like
01:11:37I was too lenient
01:11:38with you last time.
01:11:39Mr. Romano, listen.
01:11:41It wasn't me.
01:11:42All right?
01:11:43Lily has proof.
01:11:45Yes, I do.
01:11:46Look at this.
01:11:48My birthmark.
01:11:49Your real daughter
01:11:51has had it since birth.
01:11:52You can't forge that.
01:11:56Dad, please.
01:11:57I have a birthmark, too.
01:11:59Birthmarks can be faked
01:12:00nowadays.
01:12:03Are you sure this
01:12:04is her only birthmark?
01:12:05Yeah, I know
01:12:06her body really well.
01:12:08Just stay still.
01:12:09I'm almost done.
01:12:12Dad, you have to remember
01:12:14who was born with it.
01:12:15I would look at it
01:12:17every day
01:12:17and wonder
01:12:18where my parents were.
01:12:20I'm your daughter.
01:12:22Look, Vito.
01:12:24Lily's your real daughter.
01:12:26Sophia's been lying to you
01:12:27this whole time.
01:12:29Sir, maybe this is
01:12:30needs a little more
01:12:31investigating.
01:12:34No.
01:12:35Dad, please.
01:12:36We have one, too.
01:12:38Stop.
01:12:39I need some time
01:12:40to get to the bottom of this.
01:12:42You don't believe me.
01:12:48I...
01:12:48A birthmark means nothing, Vito.
01:12:51You could get skin markings
01:12:52within minutes.
01:12:53This is a trap.
01:12:55I hope you're really
01:12:55thinking about this.
01:12:58You've always had this mark.
01:12:59Since I can remember.
01:13:02It's the only proof I have.
01:13:05Birthmark can't lie.
01:13:07Dad, are you really
01:13:08going to believe them over me?
01:13:14If there's any truth
01:13:16to what you say,
01:13:17I will never abandon my child.
01:13:19But science proves this.
01:13:21No mark can erase
01:13:2325 years of history.
01:13:24Agreed.
01:13:26You can do whatever
01:13:27tests you need.
01:13:28We need to get to the bottom of this
01:13:30and get the results.
01:13:31So,
01:13:32I need you to be calm.
01:13:34This is serious.
01:13:35Okay, Dad.
01:13:36I don't want any more
01:13:37of this pointless fight.
01:13:38Okay.
01:13:41Okay.
01:13:44Take them this way.
01:13:46Put them in a suite.
01:13:47I need some silence
01:13:48before this is settled.
01:13:50Okay, sir.
01:13:51I'll wait for you, Dad.
01:13:57Dad, I saw you take her hair.
01:13:59Is that for a DNA test?
01:14:02Yeah.
01:14:06So,
01:14:07we need a document
01:14:09to prove who I really am.
01:14:11After 25 years,
01:14:12we'll leave a piece of paper
01:14:14over me
01:14:15or a birthmark
01:14:17on her shoulder.
01:14:19Do you have any idea
01:14:20what you just did
01:14:21to her right now?
01:14:22Sophia,
01:14:24look at me.
01:14:25Hey!
01:14:27I never doubted you.
01:14:28Not for a second.
01:14:30But tonight
01:14:31isn't private.
01:14:33All of New York
01:14:34is watching.
01:14:36Lily
01:14:36showed her birthmark
01:14:37and told her story.
01:14:39If I shut it down
01:14:40without proof,
01:14:41that rumor
01:14:42will never die.
01:14:44We need to crush it
01:14:45once and for all.
01:14:46So this was deliberate?
01:14:48If I don't end it cleanly,
01:14:51they'll say
01:14:51I was blinded by love.
01:14:53They'll say
01:14:55Sophia pushed out
01:14:56the real heiress.
01:14:57That stain
01:14:58will stay with her forever.
01:15:02That's it.
01:15:04I can take the hit
01:15:05and deal with the damage.
01:15:07You can't.
01:15:07Your name
01:15:08has to be untouchable.
01:15:14So everything just now
01:15:16the hesitation,
01:15:18taking the hair,
01:15:19that was all an act.
01:15:20You were being fair
01:15:21and scientific
01:15:22so you could use
01:15:23the most authoritative
01:15:23DNA report
01:15:24to nail Lily's lie.
01:15:26Is that what you're saying?
01:15:27Exactly.
01:15:28I don't want to just
01:15:29embarrass her.
01:15:30I want to silence her
01:15:32forever.
01:15:33Dad, I'm sorry.
01:15:34Just now I'm...
01:15:35It's okay.
01:15:36I'll recognize you
01:15:37when I'm blindfolded.
01:15:38I'm sorry
01:15:40I scared you.
01:15:41Sir,
01:15:42I've got these
01:15:42explicit results.
01:15:44They're handled personally
01:15:45besides they're triple horrified.
01:15:47Let me see that first.
01:15:55This report
01:15:56says that Lily Harrison
01:15:58shares your DNA.
01:15:590.99% chance
01:16:01that she's your
01:16:02biological daughter.
01:16:05No way.
01:16:07Take it back to the lab.
01:16:08Test it again now.
01:16:09This is the most
01:16:10authoritative report
01:16:11that we have.
01:16:12This was fast-tracked
01:16:14and triple verified.
01:16:15There's no margin
01:16:16for error.
01:16:18If that's the case,
01:16:20I'll pay Lily off
01:16:22for several lifetimes
01:16:23on the condition
01:16:24that she leaves New York,
01:16:26leaves the country.
01:16:26I never want to see
01:16:27or hear from her again.
01:16:29My daughter
01:16:30is Sofia Romano.
01:16:31She's the only heir
01:16:33I recognize.
01:16:34People pulling stunts
01:16:35like Lily,
01:16:36I don't care
01:16:37if my blood's coursing
01:16:38through their veins.
01:16:39I will never recognize them.
01:16:43Forgive me, Vito.
01:16:45I was testing you.
01:16:49Full confirmation
01:16:50there is 0% chance
01:16:52of parentage with you.
01:16:54The probability
01:16:55of parentage
01:16:56is 0%.
01:17:00I had to make sure
01:17:02that you would still
01:17:03choose Sofia
01:17:03even if the lies
01:17:04were true.
01:17:07You passed.
01:17:10You bastard.
01:17:12You scared the life
01:17:13out of me.
01:17:14Two.
01:17:15Both of you.
01:17:17It's over, baby.
01:17:19Daddy believes you.
01:17:22And I believe you.
01:17:25Well,
01:17:26now that the truth
01:17:27is locked in,
01:17:29it's about time
01:17:30they've paid the price.
01:17:33Yes.
01:17:36Bring the belt!
01:17:37Now!
01:17:44Dad!
01:17:45Lily Harrison,
01:17:46an authoritative DNA test
01:17:48proves that you are not
01:17:49biologically related
01:17:51to Vito Romano.
01:17:52And that birthmark
01:17:53that you have?
01:17:55Well, that's nothing more
01:17:56than a tattoo, isn't it?
01:17:58No!
01:17:59That's impossible!
01:18:00When did you do the test?
01:18:02It's a fake!
01:18:03Dad, you have to believe me!
01:18:05Forging documents?
01:18:07Defamation?
01:18:08Harassment?
01:18:09Fraud against the Romano group?
01:18:11Illegal entry and conspiracy?
01:18:13When did you think
01:18:14your little game would work?
01:18:15Look, I was wrong!
01:18:16I'm sorry!
01:18:17It was Noah!
01:18:18He did it!
01:18:19He made me do it!
01:18:20He wanted the Romano fortune!
01:18:22Bullshit!
01:18:23You wanted to marry
01:18:23into the wealth!
01:18:24You practically begged me
01:18:25to tattoo that big birthmark
01:18:26on you!
01:18:27This is part of your plan!
01:18:29Boss,
01:18:30Lily seduced me!
01:18:31She said she'd give me
01:18:32half the money
01:18:32when all of this was over!
01:18:34Please!
01:18:35I've lost my head!
01:18:36Call the lawyers,
01:18:38file criminal charges,
01:18:40tell the auctioneers
01:18:41to sue for malicious bidding!
01:18:43Oh my God, it's over!
01:18:46I'm finished!
