Short filmTranscript
00:00:01If I hadn't wanted to change villas, I would never have known this secret.
00:00:07Two years of marriage is like a joke.
00:00:13Are you absolutely certain about this, Brindley? It's a pity to see you leaving.
00:00:18I am. I'd like to spend more time with my family.
00:00:23Mrs. Palmer, good news! The owner of the villa you like has agreed to lower the price.
00:00:27Can you come view it this afternoon?
00:00:35This is the one. How do we proceed?
00:00:39Excellent. Will Mr. Palmer be joining you to sign the contract?
00:00:46No, he's tied up with work. Turingly, religiously, intelst.
00:00:51Rylan.
00:00:52I'll take care of it myself.
00:00:54Colin, I resigned today, and I found a villa I love.
00:00:58I'm planning to buy it for us.
00:01:01So sudden. But if it makes you happy, that's what matters.
00:01:04I'll come home early tonight. We'll celebrate.
00:01:11Mrs. Palmer, please, have a seat. I'll bring out the contract.
00:01:15Here's a copy of my marriage certificate.
00:01:17I'd like to register the house as joint marital property.
00:01:32That's odd. The system isn't pulling up your marriage registration record.
00:01:36What do you mean by that?
00:01:38What do you mean by that?
00:01:40Probably just a system error. It happens now and then.
00:01:43To get all of that the state hunan, you confirm it directly at City Hall.
00:01:59Ma'am, the document you've presented is counterfeit.
00:02:03Our records show no marriage registration between you and Mr. Colin Palmer.
00:02:07This can't be. We were married here. Two years ago.
00:02:16I'm sorry, but there's no information in our system.
00:02:19If you believe you've been deceived, you should report it to the authorities.
00:02:32I can't believe all of this. I have decided to go and find him myself.
00:02:49I'm conflicted, but you know, I just can't let go of Millie.
00:02:53What do you intend to do then?
00:02:55Are you planning to stay with Brinley while marrying Millie Russell?
00:02:58Colin, that's not fair.
00:03:01Marrying Millie?
00:03:03Who is Millie?
00:03:08I know it isn't fair, but when Millie left to pursue her career abroad, I was heartbroken.
00:03:13Then Brinley came along. She reminded me so much of Millie.
00:03:17Dating her finally brought healing to my broken heart.
00:03:19So that's what I was? A substitute?
00:03:23Brinley is softer than Millie. She depends on me, loves me, in a way Millie never did.
00:03:30And you still justify deceiving her?
00:03:31I don't deceive her, I just... I can't cut Millie off completely. She was my first love.
00:03:38So you forged a marriage certificate? Colin, that makes you a scumbag.
00:03:43Yes, I'm a scumbag. I want Millie's fire and Brinley's gentleness. I want them both.
00:03:48I walked away from that conversation. My heart shattered. The man I loved for two years was a liar.
00:03:54I'm back.
00:03:56Welcome home.
00:03:59What did you make? Smells delicious.
00:04:01Your favorite? Grilled meat.
00:04:03I watched him all through dinner. His phone never left the table, face down.
00:04:09My head aches a little. Could you fetch me some medicine from upstairs?
00:04:14Of course. You just rest here.
00:04:18The moment he was gone, I snatched his phone. My birthday didn't work. Our anniversary didn't work.
00:04:24You don't look well. Do you want to lie down?
00:04:27I'm fine. Is something wrong at the office? You kept glancing at your phone.
00:04:31Yes, a project issue. I might need to head back later.
00:04:34Then go. Work always comes first.
00:04:36Don't wait up for me. Get some rest.
00:04:39As the door clicked shut, my smile crumbled. I picked up my phone, my hand trembling.
00:04:48Dad, I've decided. I'll return home, and I'll accept the marriage alliance you arranged.
00:04:55Three months later, I arrived at the Knight Family's annual gala.
00:04:59Mrs. Shaw, you finally arrived. This way, please.
00:05:06Isn't that Brynlyn? What is she doing here? I can't believe she has the nerve.
00:05:09I heard Colin tossed her aside after catching her cheating.
00:05:11She has the audacity to show up tonight?
00:05:14The Shaw family cut her off completely. Look at her, still carrying herself as if she matters.
00:05:19Well, if it isn't Miss Shaw all by yourself tonight, where's Mr. Palmer?
00:05:24Oh, that's right. I heard you two split. Hardly shocking.
00:05:27A man like him could not tolerate a partner who is unfaithful.
00:05:30Do you really think showing up here will win Mr. Palmer back?
00:05:33That ship has sailed. Millie's the one by his side now. She's carrying his child.
00:05:36You all seem awfully fascinated with my personal life.
00:05:38My affairs, however, aren't open for your judgment.
00:05:41And as for why I'm here, does the Knight Family need your permission before extending an invitation?
00:05:44Get off your high horse, Brynly. Everyone knows about your scandal.
00:05:47No man would ever want you now.
00:05:49It's none of your business, Miss Dale. Instead of wasting your time on me,
00:05:52perhaps you should pay attention to Dale Group stock. Word is, it's been plummeting.
00:05:56What are you talking about? That's complete nonsense.
00:05:58Don't play dumb. You know exactly what I mean.
00:06:01But then I felt a familiar gaze from across the hall.
00:06:05Colin?
00:06:19Brynly?
00:06:20But when our eyes met, my gaze was ice.
00:06:24What are you doing here? Why did you disappear without a single word?
00:06:28I burned time and money trying to find you! Tell me you didn't throw me away for someone else!
00:06:34Colin, please, calm down.
00:06:39Miss Shaw must have had her reasons.
00:06:41Miss Shaw, I know you still have feelings for him, but you should move on.
00:06:45Showing up like this just makes things harder.
00:06:47What is she even after?
00:06:49Colin has moved on. Someone needs to toss her out.
00:06:51She's dragging down the class at this event.
00:06:53Brynly, I know you regret leaving me.
00:06:56Just apologize. I can even put in a word with Mrs. Knight and help you stay.
00:07:10Miss, this is a private event.
00:07:12If you don't have an invitation, I'll have to ask you to leave.
00:07:14You'd really rather be tossed out than give me an apology?
00:07:16Be sensible, Miss Shaw. With all these eyes on you, why put yourself through more shame?
00:07:26Matthew!
00:07:28Mrs. Shaw, I deeply apologize for the disrespect you've endured.
00:07:32The fault is entirely mine.
00:07:35Ryan, I thought, who gave you the right to disrespect our guest?
00:07:39How could you assume she walked in without an invitation?
00:07:46I'll go along with whatever arrangements Mrs. Knight has made.
00:07:51Understood. Mrs. Knight was just speaking of you. Please, this way.
00:07:58As Ryan led me away, the man who tried to kick me out crashed to his knees.
00:08:04Mrs. Shaw, please! Forgive my rudeness! Grant me mercy!
00:08:09You've broken the family rules. That's why you're fired. Not because of Miss Shaw.
00:08:17Escort him out! His employment is terminated!
00:08:22Make it clear he will never be rehired.
00:08:25Wait! Ryan, please! Don't do this!
00:08:33Colin, let's sit down over there. It's getting far too crowded.
00:08:37Fine. Just watch your step.
00:08:45Is that Mr. Moore?
00:08:46Oh my God, what on earth is Austin Moore doing here? He never shows up to these things.
00:08:50Mr. Moore! What an honor to have you with us tonight.
00:08:53Mr. Moore!
00:08:54What an honor to have you with us tonight.
00:08:58Sir, your wife is already upstairs in the VIP lounge.
00:09:02The Knights left Austin Moore waiting? This is about to get ugly.
00:09:07Colin, my stomach feels a little uneasy.
00:09:10What's wrong? Come, I'll take you to the lounge so you can rest.
00:09:13Mr. Moore, you probably haven't been told, but the Knight family has been pouring all their attention on Miss Shaw
00:09:18tonight.
00:09:18One might assume she was some exalted figure.
00:09:21Oh? My wife sure knows how to stir things up, huh?
00:09:24Huh? Your... your wife?
00:09:32Sir, that's enough. Please come with us.
00:09:34What are you doing? I was just trying to let Mr. Moore know...
00:09:37Mr. Moore's business is not yours to discuss.
00:09:46Mr. Moore has arrived.
00:09:48My head lifted instinctively.
00:09:50It was the very first time I had seen my husband since our marriage.
00:09:55I was just thinking how lucky I was to have such a handsome husband.
00:10:02Mr. Moore, we've been waiting anxiously for your arrival.
00:10:07It's so rare to catch a glimpse of you.
00:10:09Gentlemen, please, take a seat. Mr. Moore will be with you all day.
00:10:12Let me introduce Miss Brinley Shaw.
00:10:14Ah, Miss Shaw. Easy on the eyes, but your judgment? Not so impressive.
00:10:19You cut ties with your family for a man becoming a joke.
00:10:21Perhaps you should focus on family affairs, not business.
00:10:25Oliver! That's enough!
00:10:33So, Mr. Simpson, in your opinion, my wife doesn't measure up to your standards?
00:10:39Your... wife?
00:10:40Mrs. Moore, my apologies.
00:10:42I... I... I just meant you have exquisite taste...
00:10:45in beautiful women.
00:10:48Mr. Simpson, your words remind me of something.
00:10:52And what is that?
00:10:54I've heard rumors that some influential businessman keeps several young women at once.
00:10:58Utterly shameless.
00:11:01Surely you've heard them too?
00:11:03I... I... I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:11:06Instead of speculating about my life,
00:11:09wouldn't it be wiser to tend to your own affairs?
00:11:12Well, Brinley certainly has a sharp tongue.
00:11:15Everyone, let's sit down!
00:11:17Quite the impression you've made, my dear wife.
00:11:20Like what you saw?
00:11:30The lavish bank felt suffocating, and I had to get away.
00:11:35Austin, I need to use the West Room.
00:11:37I can't sit here any longer.
00:11:39Don't take too long.
00:11:46Mrs. Moore, I...
00:11:50The Great City...
00:11:51The New York City...
00:11:51To be continued...
00:12:04I love you.
00:12:04I love you.
00:12:34Nonsense. Stay away from me or you'll regret it. Get lost.
00:12:43Take this as your warning, Colin. If you dare try this again, you'll regret it far more.
00:12:51With that, I was done with him. Forever.
00:12:56After the banquet ended, I tried to leave, exhausted by the night's events.
00:13:03But my escape was cut short by a familiar, imposing presence.
00:13:12Get in.
00:13:15Mr. Moore, I have my own car.
00:13:18I already had it sent back.
00:13:20I want to return to my own place.
00:13:22Your place? Have you forgotten we're married? That means we're supposed to live together.
00:13:27But...
00:13:27No buts. I prepared our new home three months ago. You're coming back with me.
00:13:33Drive.
00:13:41From today onward, this is your home.
00:13:57Mr. Moore, since this is a marriage of convenience, I think it's better we establish some clear boundaries.
00:14:02Go ahead. I'm listening.
00:14:04First, we don't interfere in each other's private lives.
00:14:07Second, we keep our finances separate. Neither of us will touch the other's assets.
00:14:11Third, if we ever divorce, we'll part on good terms, with no complications.
00:14:15Don't you think you're being a little too cold with me?
00:14:19Remember, we're legally husband and wife now.
00:14:22I think you should understand that this is just a partnership, and there are no feelings attached.
00:14:26I don't want unnecessary trouble.
00:14:28Trouble? Is that what you think I am?
00:14:31That's settled.
00:14:31All right, as you wish, my dear wife.
00:14:43This one, I like the vintage feel.
00:14:46You do have unusual taste. But in the winter, the drafts will be harsh.
00:14:49It doesn't matter. I can manage the cold.
00:14:53Hungry?
00:14:55Yes. I didn't eat properly at the party.
00:14:59Let's get you something to eat.
00:15:02When the crowds have gone
00:15:07We could talk on the moonlight
00:15:10What are you doing just standing there?
00:15:12Till dawn
00:15:14Come help.
00:15:18In the soft glow of the kitchen, my hands moved on autopolt, the familiar rhythm of the knife, a small
00:15:24comfort.
00:15:25You handled that knife quite well. Did you often cook for Colin?
00:15:28Yes. Looking back, it was a complete waste of effort.
00:15:32He never did deserve you.
00:15:33Oh? Do you regret it?
00:15:38Why should I?
00:15:39Why should I? For someone so undeserving, it's best not to mention him at all.
00:15:44So indifferent. I find that... interesting.
00:15:48What do you expect? That I cry endlessly?
00:15:51When it comes to love, you gamble. I can take the loss.
00:15:55I'll take care of the rest. It's our first night under the same roof. You shouldn't tire yourself out.
00:16:00You do know how to be thoughtful. Fine, I'll take you up on that.
00:16:03A few minutes later, he set three dishes on the table. The beef was charred black, the broccoli was burnt,
00:16:08and I could see sugar crystals that hadn't even melted.
00:16:10You looked rather skilled slicing the beef, but your cooking seems to be lacking.
00:16:14I've trained with a knife. Heat control isn't my strength.
00:16:17Are you trying to upset me with this culinary adventure?
00:16:20You've got quite a sense of humor.
00:16:22As he ate, I saw an old scar winding across his forearm. A sharp contrast to the gentle man he
00:16:28was pretending to be.
00:16:29Pull yourself together, Brinley. This is just a marriage of convenience. Don't let appearances deceive you.
00:16:34When he finished cleaning the kitchen, he leaned against the doorway, all plainness gone.
00:16:40Now that I've returned, there are formalities.
00:16:44Next week, we visit your father.
00:16:47The wedding also needs to be properly arranged.
00:16:50The purpose of this alliance has been fulfilled. There's no need for a wedding ceremony, is there?
00:16:54What do you mean, no need? Even a marriage of convenience will have a wedding.
00:16:58My father is tied up with a major project. It's really not a good time.
00:17:02Don't worry. I'll have my assistant coordinate with your father's secretary.
00:17:11I'll call my father first, to see when he's available.
00:17:15He agreed, but his eyes told me this wasn't a negotiation.
00:17:18The battle was over before it even began.
00:17:21I watched Austin go upstairs, his sudden attention making me suspicious.
00:17:25But I had no time to dwell on him.
00:17:27My own company, Vantage Path Realty, needed me.
00:17:31Colin Palmer chose deceit.
00:17:33Now I will crush his pride in the one field he values most.
00:17:36Mrs. Shaw, the final version of the bid presentation is ready.
00:17:41Good.
00:17:47Two years of a fake marriage.
00:17:49He has no idea what's coming.
00:18:06Meanwhile, across the city, Colin was holding a meeting.
00:18:10This project will be Palmer Group's highest priority for the next three years.
00:18:18The city director has already acknowledged our proposal is superior.
00:18:22Mr. Palmer, we've poured $30 million into the assessment.
00:18:24Our connections are firmly established.
00:18:26Palmer Group is set on winning this project.
00:18:28By the way, I heard Brinley has registered a company.
00:18:31Vantage Path Realty.
00:18:32She's preparing to bid as well.
00:18:34And now that she's Austin's wife, she might carry more weight.
00:18:37Well, I...
00:18:38Relax.
00:18:39She's just an ordinary woman.
00:18:40What could she possibly know about real estate development?
00:18:43That company of hers is nothing but a shell she set up on a whim.
00:18:47She always shows up wherever I am.
00:18:49Perhaps she's just trying to get my attention again.
00:18:52Three days later, the bidding senyu buzzed with anticipation.
00:19:04I know you're coming, Brinley.
00:19:06Show yourself.
00:19:08The moment I walked into the bidding hall, I felt Colin's stare.
00:19:11He expected the soft, naive woman he once knew.
00:19:15Not the CEO of Vantage Path Realty.
00:19:18And our innovative spatial planning can increase land use efficiency by 30%.
00:19:22A flawless presentation.
00:19:25Next, the Palmer Group.
00:19:26Our proposal focuses on...
00:19:28Mr. Palmer, Vantage Path Realty's proposal is clearly superior to yours.
00:19:32But our data, our policy interpretation...
00:19:34The committee's decision is unanimous.
00:19:36The contract is awarded to Vantage Path Realty.
00:19:38After the meeting, he cornered me in the Ralevo.
00:19:40His composure shattered.
00:19:41Why?
00:19:42You knew how important this project was to me.
00:19:44Was this all just revenge?
00:19:47Fine.
00:19:47Take the project.
00:19:49I don't care about anything else.
00:19:52Just come back to me.
00:19:54Mr. Palmer, we won fairly.
00:19:56This project was never yours to grant me.
00:19:58It was mine to earn.
00:20:01What you should be asking is why the Palmer Group failed.
00:20:08That evening, the satisfaction of winning had washed away my tiredness when I returned to the villa.
00:20:14You are back.
00:20:16You're home early today.
00:20:18Congratulations.
00:20:19Securing this project gives Vantage Path a promising future.
00:20:24We talked about visiting your father.
00:20:26When would he be available?
00:20:32My dad's been very busy lately.
00:20:36Maybe in a few more days.
00:20:39Later that night, I finally made the call I've been avoiding.
00:20:42Well, if it isn't the CEO of Vantage Path Realty.
00:20:45The work-alick finally has time to call her father?
00:20:47Dad, I secured the Blean project.
00:20:50That's good to hear.
00:20:51Now tell me, how's Austin treating you?
00:20:53Is he bad to you?
00:20:54No.
00:20:54Actually, he suggested visiting you.
00:20:56He's even talking about a wedding ceremony.
00:20:58I'd love for you to come visit.
00:21:00But I still haven't forgiven you for what happened with Colin.
00:21:02Dad, I was foolish back then.
00:21:03Enough.
00:21:04No need to drag up the past.
00:21:05How about next Saturday?
00:21:07And tell Austin he better not come empty-handed.
00:21:09What made you suddenly want to take me out to dinner?
00:21:11The candlelight danced in the apopulent restaurant, but a question flickered in my mind.
00:21:14You're my wife.
00:21:15It's only right that I treat you.
00:21:16His answer a great deal about me.
00:21:18Too smooth.
00:21:18Even the no-obscure design award I won years ago.
00:21:21How that even I had almost forgotten.
00:21:22It isn't hard to learn about someone.
00:21:24Cheers.
00:21:24Cheers.
00:21:25Cheers.
00:21:30Back home, his sudden departure felt like an escape.
00:21:36But his words about my past echoed in my mind.
00:21:40I found myself drawn to his study.
00:21:42The study was just as he was.
00:21:44Organized, imposing, and full of secrets.
00:21:47My fingers brushed against a loose board on a shelf, revealing a hidden compartment.
00:21:51Inside was a scroll.
00:21:52Unfolding it, my heart stopped.
00:21:54They were my sketches.
00:21:55The ones I thought had burned in a fire.
00:21:58What are you doing here?
00:22:03Mr. Moore!
00:22:04I-I thought you went to the company.
00:22:10What are you hiding behind your back?
00:22:13Hiding my sketches?
00:22:14Don't you think that crosses into invading my privacy?
00:22:16Fear gave was a violation.
00:22:18This was-
00:22:18I found them by chance.
00:22:20They had a certain spark.
00:22:22I thought they might be useful for a project.
00:22:25Since when do you pay attention to a university student's designs?
00:22:28Anything with potential tends to draw my attention.
00:22:31It feels like more than a coincidence that the designs you admire happen to belong to me!
00:22:38He closed the distance in an instant, trapping me against the desk.
00:22:43It does feel like quite the coincidence.
00:22:52Tell me, Brinley.
00:22:56Are you doubting me?
00:22:58I-I was only asking.
00:23:01I shouldn't have come into your study.
00:23:03He stepped closer, lifting his hand to brush a lop of hair from my forehead.
00:23:07His touch set my skin on fire.
00:23:10The study's rather cold.
00:23:12Why don't you rest upstairs?
00:23:17For days, I dowaged him at every turn.
00:23:20If he was in the dining room, I ate in my room.
00:23:24If he was on the stairs, I hurried past without a word.
00:23:34In the car, the silence was suffocating.
00:23:37Until my brother's name lit up my phone like a lifeline.
00:23:42Hey, Felix.
00:23:44Brinley!
00:23:44I just heard overseas, Colin dumped you, didn't he?
00:23:48No need to worry.
00:23:49I'm doing fine.
00:23:51And, it wasn't him who ended things.
00:23:54That bastard swore he'd treat you well.
00:23:56He dares to toss you aside?
00:23:58I told him everything that happened.
00:24:01My marriage to Austin.
00:24:02Colin's harassment.
00:24:04Felix, I was so stupid before.
00:24:07I'm sorry.
00:24:09What are you apologizing for?
00:24:10To hell with him.
00:24:11He should have been dumped long ago.
00:24:13But he hurt you?
00:24:14Dammit!
00:24:15I'm getting the first flight home.
00:24:16I swear I'll make that asshole pay.
00:24:18No, absolutely not.
00:24:19I can deal with Colin myself.
00:24:20You need to stay focused on your races.
00:24:25When the call ended, we had arrived at the Shaw Mansion.
00:24:29Felix really looks out for you.
00:24:32He's my brother.
00:24:37Let's go.
00:24:41What are you doing?
00:24:42Let go of my wrist.
00:24:44His palm was firm and warm.
00:24:46And the feeling was surprisingly steady.
00:24:48What are you doing?
00:24:49In front of your family, we've got to look convincing.
00:24:51You wouldn't want your father getting the wrong idea, right?
00:24:54Don't you want him to feel at ease?
00:24:56I rolled my eyes, but didn't pull my hand away.
00:24:59Felix, you hear me?
00:25:00Run that race and come back with a trophy.
00:25:02Brindley's affairs aren't your problem.
00:25:04Austin is a million times more reliable than you.
00:25:06Keep running your mouth and I'll cut your allowance right off.
00:25:10Oh, you're here.
00:25:11Sweetheart, come here.
00:25:12Dad, were you yelling at Felix?
00:25:14Hmph, serves him right.
00:25:16That reckless brat.
00:25:17By the way, Felix wired you a hundred million.
00:25:20It's all yours.
00:25:22My phone buzzed.
00:25:23It was a transfer notification.
00:25:25Felix's note said,
00:25:26If Colin bothers you again, I'll fly back and wreck his company myself.
00:25:29Mr. Shaw, my first visit.
00:25:30I brought a small token for you.
00:25:32My daughter has a stubborn streak.
00:25:33If she gives you trouble, I hope you'll let it slide.
00:25:36Brindley is incredibly thoughtful.
00:25:37Having her as my wife makes me the lucky one.
00:25:39I know how deeply you cherish her.
00:25:41I will make sure she's cared for.
00:25:42And I won't allow her to endure any grievances.
00:25:44Good.
00:25:45Come inside.
00:25:46The food's on the table.
00:25:46He clapped Austin on the shoulder, guiding him in.
00:25:48I watched this man who could dominate boardrooms act like any ordinary son of God.
00:25:52Your insights on business are sharp, Austin.
00:25:53I simply offer a different perspective, Mr. Shaw.
00:25:55He was so calm, so patient with my father.
00:25:57Watching him, my heart grew increasingly complicated.
00:26:00Take good care of my daughter.
00:26:02My father's words were heavy.
00:26:03A final plea before entrusting me to him.
00:26:06You have my word.
00:26:07In the car on the way back, the silence was comfortable, but I knew he would be the one
00:26:11to break it.
00:26:13Tell me.
00:26:14Have you been avoiding me lately?
00:26:16Why would I?
00:26:17I've been drowning in work.
00:26:18I can hardly breathe.
00:26:21Is that so?
00:26:22Funny.
00:26:23Every time I'm in the living room, you suddenly remember urgent overtime.
00:26:26On the stairs, you always bolt past me with your head down.
00:26:29You're reading too much into it.
00:26:30I've just been really busy.
00:26:33Really?
00:26:33Because I can't shake the feeling it's about what happened in the study.
00:26:36No!
00:26:37We're home!
00:26:37Let's get out!
00:26:38I ran into the villa, furious that he always had the upper hand.
00:26:42I swore I'd seize the next chance.
00:26:46The pool is freshly maintained.
00:26:48Want to give it a try?
00:26:50Fine.
00:26:51Let's go.
00:26:54He was already there, a towel slung low on his hips, water tracing the lines of his muscles.
00:26:59You've been watching me for three minutes straight.
00:27:05With a body like this, you could easily walk a runway.
00:27:09Though I have to say, touching it feels even better.
00:27:14Brinley.
00:27:16Isn't this exactly what you like?
00:27:18Then why the sudden blush?
00:27:22I left him standing there and went to my room, my heart pounding from my own daring.
00:27:28Why am I so tempted by him?
00:27:30This is a marriage of convenience.
00:27:31I can't forget that.
00:27:33Colin was the same, and he destroyed everything.
00:27:39Brinley, you really know how to turn me on.
00:27:42I walked in after a long day and froze.
00:27:45Austin was in the living room, bare-chested, sweat gleaning on his sculpted muscles.
00:27:50Careful!
00:27:51The dumbbell crashed to the floor, and I rushed forward, but he swept me into his arms, pressing
00:27:56me against his hot, damp chest.
00:27:58I'm exhausted.
00:28:00Let's rest a little.
00:28:02Austin, you...
00:28:03Your sweat is getting on my blouse.
00:28:07Is it?
00:28:09His nose grazed my ear, and I shivered.
00:28:13But then my training kicked in.
00:28:14I twisted, dug my knee into his side, and rolled him onto the mad.
00:28:18Playing helpless, Mr. Moore?
00:28:20With muscles like these?
00:28:22I must admit, those lines.
00:28:25They're sculpted like a fashion model's, but in a flash, he reversed our positions, pinning
00:28:31me beneath him when he ate on health.
00:28:34Tom Clefieri would turn his face inches from mine.
00:28:38Is just touching enough for you?
00:28:41You!
00:28:42Get off!
00:28:43Gotcha!
00:28:44Let go of my leg!
00:28:49There's something in your hair.
00:28:54What?
00:28:57Just a feather.
00:29:00Now, are you planning to move in down there on the floor?
00:29:04You did that on purpose!
00:29:06What do you mean?
00:29:07You're the one who couldn't stop staring at me.
00:29:11You practically dived into my arms.
00:29:14I was not staring!
00:29:15Why are you even working out in the living room?
00:29:17The AC in the gym broke.
00:29:19The AC is broken?
00:29:20This place is falling apart.
00:29:23Maybe you should just buy a new villa.
00:29:25Is that so?
00:29:26I'm going to eat.
00:29:29Narrator, I arrived at the business gala as the new CEO of Vantage Path Realty, determined
00:29:34to prove my ambition was more intoxicating than any man.
00:29:37Colin, look.
00:29:38It's her.
00:29:39She looks... different.
00:29:41More dazzling than ever.
00:29:44I ignored their stares.
00:29:45But a man with an oily grin soon cornered me on the terrace.
00:29:51Miss Shaw, all by yourself?
00:29:54I'm Rogelio Scott.
00:29:56A big company must be exhausting for a young woman like you.
00:29:59You're flattering me, Mr. Scott.
00:30:01Vantage Path thrives because of its team.
00:30:03What team can measure up to a dependable man?
00:30:05With me, you wouldn't have to work so hard.
00:30:08I can give you more than your sugar baddie ever could.
00:30:11I'm afraid you've mistaken me.
00:30:12A woman of my league is nowhere near your reach.
00:30:14Ha!
00:30:15Everything has a price, Miss Shaw.
00:30:17Just name it.
00:30:18Stay by my side and the entire Scott group could be yours.
00:30:21Narrator, his thick fingers reached to pinch my chin.
00:30:25I slapped him across the face.
00:30:27The sound silencing the entire hall.
00:30:30You dared to slap me?
00:30:32What's wrong with that?
00:30:33Look at yourself.
00:30:34Pathetic, oily, and shameless.
00:30:36Mr. Scott, laying hands on a woman hardly suits a gentleman.
00:30:39Mr. Palmer, with your company stock in free fall, you still have the nerve to meddle?
00:30:43Worry about your own crumpling empire!
00:30:45And you, don't think a pretty face makes you exceptional?
00:30:50And dick!
00:30:51At the end of the day, you're just a woman!
00:30:54What could you possibly accomplish, you pathetic whore?
00:30:57Say that again.
00:30:59I dare you.
00:31:00Before he could repeat the insult, I kicked the back of his knee, seized his tie, and slammed his cheek
00:31:06against the polished floor.
00:31:12I'll make sure you learn what respect really means.
00:31:15The party was in full swing, a symphony of laughter and clinking glasses, until a sudden gape cut through the
00:31:20noise.
00:31:21It's Austin Moore! He's here!
00:31:23A hush fell over the room.
00:31:24Like the Red Sea parting, the crowd made a path for him.
00:31:26He walked straight through the silent crowd to me, his eyes fixed on a single target.
00:31:31His eyes burned with a cold fire as he reached me, a flicker of something unreadable in their depths as
00:31:37he draped his jacket over my shoulders.
00:31:42Mr. Moore, it's a misunderstanding. I swear.
00:31:46Miguel, throw him out.
00:31:48And from this moment, though not more group is targeting echoed in the dead silence, each single project run by
00:31:53death sentence.
00:31:54His voice.
00:31:54No, please, Mr. Moore, have mercy!
00:31:56As they dragged him away screaming, the reality of his power settled over the room like a shroud.
00:32:01I looked up at the man who had just destroyed another for my sake, trying to understand.
00:32:10Why are you here? You never come to these things.
00:32:15Because you're here.
00:32:16Mr. Moore, if I may, who is this lady to you?
00:32:21She is my wife, Brinley Moore.
00:32:23And I warn anyone who dares to lay a hand on her, you will find yourself standing against the full
00:32:30power of my company.
00:32:31Then, through the sea of stunned faces, I saw my ex, Colin, watching us, his face pale.
00:32:40Brinley, I remembered your throat always acts up. I had them prepare that special drink you liked.
00:32:45Thank you, Mr. Palmer, but I'll take care of my wife's needs. You should direct that concern towards your companion.
00:32:52Colin.
00:32:53Oh, wait, my mistake. She isn't your wife yet, is she?
00:32:56My husband doesn't enjoy socializing, Mr. Palmer, if you'll excuse us.
00:33:01My project was suspended, leaving me stuck at home.
00:33:04My attempts at cooking were a disaster, starting with a batch of burnt cookies.
00:33:10Wow, these are... something else?
00:33:14What do you call them? Charcoal brigands?
00:33:16If you're hungry, there are sandwiches in the fridge. Don't touch those.
00:33:22He'd been coming home early every day. Then I remembered he'd sent the chef and housekeeper on medical lee last
00:33:27week.
00:33:29You orchestrated this on purpose.
00:33:32Actually, I think your cooking has a kind of everyday warmth to it. Honestly, it's more satisfying than a Michelin
00:33:38three-star dinner.
00:33:40I know it's bad. Your comfort is unhelpful.
00:33:44Austin, did you lose your taste buds?
00:33:46It's not every day I find you cooking. As your husband, I should at least act grateful.
00:33:51If you enjoy it so much, I'll make car-grilled avocado with pickled herring tomorrow.
00:33:57Now that sounds like a challenge. I'll be looking forward to your masterpiece.
00:34:02For days, I curled out one strange dish after another.
00:34:09Your cooking just keeps getting better.
00:34:14Do you actually enjoy torturing your taste buds?
00:34:17For me, it's an honor to eat anything you've made yourself.
00:34:23I excused myself and snuck into the kitchen to call his assistant.
00:34:29Miguel, I need to ask, what is Austin like at the company?
00:34:32Mr. Moore?
00:34:33Today he called a competitor's proposal. Garbage.
00:34:37And the man nearly collapsed.
00:34:39Garbage.
00:34:40Last week, he sued a business partner into bankruptcy.
00:34:45He is...
00:34:46Ruthless.
00:34:49The man he described is a stranger.
00:34:52A ruthless tycoon who praises my terrible cooking.
00:34:57What is his secret agenda?
00:34:59Is this marriage just part of some hidden game?
00:35:02I sat there, my mind racing.
00:35:04What if this whole marriage is just a plot to harvest my organs?
00:35:07What if this whole marriage is just a plot to harvest my organs?
00:35:11Something bothering you? You look pale.
00:35:18Later that night, my fear dragged me into a nightmare.
00:35:20A twisted reality where my darkest thoughts came to life.
00:35:22You monster! Austin, you're after my kidney!
00:35:24I swear I'll fight you off!
00:35:25In my dream, his shadow fell over me.
00:35:26A monstrous giant with something glimpering in his hand.
00:35:28You're greedy enough to want my kidney!
00:35:29A single tear escaped, a testimony to the terror that held me captive even in sleep.
00:35:33I heard his footsteps coming up the stairs,
00:35:35each one a heavy thup that echoed my own frantic heartbeat.
00:35:37He walked down the dark corridor,
00:35:39a shadow moving towards the slimmer of light from my room.
00:35:42The doorknob turned with agonizing slowness,
00:35:44the click of the lash sealing my fate.
00:35:45My kidney. Austin, give it back.
00:35:48He loomed over me in the darkness, his hand reaching out,
00:35:50and for a moment, my nightmare and reality merged.
00:35:53The instant his hand touched my cheek, my eyes snapped open.
00:35:55Ah! Austin! You really came to steal my kidney?
00:35:59Brinley, it's alright. You were caught in a bad dream.
00:36:01But his voice was calm, a gentle anchor in my storm of panic.
00:36:03The terror receded, leaving a disorienting fog of confusion in its whack.
00:36:06You were mommling quite a bit. Something about me being after your kidney?
00:36:08Heat flooded my cheeks. I couldn't meet his gaze.
00:36:10I was just rambling nonsense.
00:36:12Some seemed softening with an under-chasing me. You should go.
00:36:14Get some sleep.
00:36:15He didn't press, and I was alone again.
00:36:16The silence of the room amplifying the chaos in my mind.
00:36:18But the moment he was out of my sight,
00:36:20the gentle husband vanished, replaced by someone I didn't know.
00:36:24He waited, his face a cold, calculating mask in the glow of the screen.
00:36:28I could almost feel the shift in him, the moment his suspicion hardened into certainty.
00:36:32We need to have a talk tomorrow.
00:36:33The next morning, the sunlight that filled the dining room did nothing to dispel the chilling atmosphere between us.
00:36:38Do you have time this morning I'd like to talk about last night?
00:36:40It was just a dream. Nightmares happen. Don't read too much into it.
00:36:44With those words, she shut the door on any conversation, leaving us in a silence colder than any nightmare.
00:36:49I had to know what Austin was hiding.
00:36:51After escaping our silent breakfast, I slipped back inside and crept up to his study.
00:36:55My heart pounded against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat of fear and determination.
00:36:59Taking a deep breath, I committed.
00:37:01It can't be locked. Please. Yes.
00:37:03I moved quickly, silently, my hands searching for any trace of myself, any clue to his secrets.
00:37:08But as nothing photographed, not a mention of my work.
00:37:11Where is it? The clippings from my exhibition.
00:37:12He's removed everything.
00:37:13A cold dread washed over me as the truth settled in.
00:37:15It's like I never existed in here.
00:37:16The room was a sterile monument to a life I was apparently never a part of.
00:37:19I was staring into the void of an empty shelf when his voice cut through the silence.
00:37:22Cold and-
00:37:23What are you looking for?
00:37:23Ice shot through my veins.
00:37:24I froze.
00:37:25He was leaning against the doorframe.
00:37:26A predator watching his prey.
00:37:28I spun around so fast I knocked over a stack of books, my words tumbling out in a panicked rush.
00:37:31I was just looking around.
00:37:32Time seemed as slow as the books tumbled towards the floor.
00:37:34In one motion, he moved with impossible speed.
00:37:37He caught them easily, effortlessly, and steadied me, his hand burning against my waist.
00:37:41There's nothing worth your attention in here.
00:37:43Perhaps-
00:37:43We were suddenly impossibly close, his voice a low murmur.
00:37:46I have to go. I'll be in my room.
00:37:47His touch was electric. I had to get away.
00:37:49Later that day, I tried to sneak out to see my father, but Austin was in the foyer, blocking my
00:37:53path.
00:37:54My escape was cut short.
00:37:56He was there, with Miguel.
00:37:57Miguel's shock was almost-
00:37:58Mr. Moore, you're wearing an apron.
00:38:00And he was.
00:38:01A crisp white apron over his expensive suit.
00:38:03If you want to surprise your wife, I can call a sh-
00:38:05It's different, Miguel.
00:38:06She eats restaurant food all the time.
00:38:07He ignored Miguel's suggestion, his focus elsewhere.
00:38:10I think she might like something homemade.
00:38:12For a fleeting moment, I saw something else in his eyes.
00:38:15Then his eyes found me.
00:38:16He knew I was there all along.
00:38:18Where are you going?
00:38:18Caught.
00:38:19My heart sank.
00:38:20I tried to sound casual, to hide the tremor in my voice.
00:38:23To visit my father, I need to talk to him.
00:38:26His answer was not a request.
00:38:28It was a command.
00:38:29I've made dinner.
00:38:30Eat with me first.
00:38:31He moved, subtly, trapping me.
00:38:34Then I'll go with you.
00:38:35I felt the walls closing in, the air growing thin.
00:38:38That's not necessary.
00:38:39You don't have to.
00:38:39He closed the distance between us.
00:38:41His-
00:38:41Try my cooking.
00:38:42...sens overwhelm.
00:38:43A silent order was given, and obeyed, instantly.
00:38:46And then there were two.
00:38:48Miguel's gone.
00:38:49It'll just be the two of us.
00:38:50I followed Austin into the dining room.
00:38:53A perfect feast was laid out.
00:38:54A cruel contrast to the charred food I'd been making for days.
00:38:58What are you standing there for?
00:38:59Sit down and see for yourself.
00:39:03I'll pass.
00:39:04I'm not hungry.
00:39:05Just have a taste.
00:39:07I told you.
00:39:08I'm not hungry.
00:39:10Just one bite.
00:39:11If it's awful, you can throw the plate at my face.
00:39:16I finally gave in, my fingers curling around the fork with resistance.
00:39:25Oh.
00:39:26So?
00:39:27How is it?
00:39:30It's fine.
00:39:31But my hand betrayed me, reaching for the lobster, then the soup, then the lamb.
00:39:35I ate like someone who hadn't seen food in D's.
00:39:41Why are you looking at me like that?
00:39:44Slow down.
00:39:45It's not like anyone's going to snatch it from you.
00:39:48I guess it's not terrible.
00:39:55Have the legal department drop the papers immediately.
00:39:57I'm on my way.
00:40:00Something urgent came up at the company.
00:40:02I'll need to step out.
00:40:04Alright.
00:40:07Take your time and enjoy it.
00:40:10The moment the door clicked shut, my appetite vanished.
00:40:13Replaced by an explicable hollowness.
00:40:16I reached for the bowl of soup he'd left untouched.
00:40:19And drank every last flat.
00:40:23Dad, I need the truth.
00:40:26What's really behind this arranged marriage to Austin?
00:40:33Brynley, there are things you're old enough to hear now.
00:40:37Years ago, Austin's mother was in a devastating car accident.
00:40:44Your mother risked her own life to save her.
00:40:50My mother?
00:40:52Out of gratitude, their family proposed a marriage alliance.
00:40:55They've been waiting for you all these years, even when you were with Colin.
00:41:07Dad, I get it now.
00:41:09I'll come by to see you soon.
00:41:11Bye.
00:41:31Who is it?
00:41:33It's me, Austin.
00:41:35Let me down!
00:41:36I have legs of my own!
00:41:37Stop moving!
00:41:38The floor's slick.
00:41:39You'll make us both fall.
00:41:54You...
00:41:56I didn't do it on purpose.
00:41:59You call that an accident?
00:42:02We kissed!
00:42:03You shameless rogue!
00:42:06Why didn't it feel wrong?
00:42:08Have I lost my mind?
00:42:11Get away from me!
00:42:13Get away from me!
00:42:14Get away from me!
00:42:16Get away from me!
00:42:59Brinley!
00:43:00I love Millie!
00:43:02She's the one who fits me.
00:43:04Body and soul.
00:43:12That's why I never touched you.
00:43:29Brinley!
00:43:32Austin?
00:43:33Why aren't you in bed?
00:43:34I heard a noise.
00:43:36Want a drink?
00:43:41Let's go to the rooftop.
00:43:43Is this about Colin?
00:43:45Do you honestly think I'd drink myself silly over an ex?
00:43:49No.
00:43:51I just think something's weighing on you.
00:43:54Spare me the questions.
00:43:55If you're not going to keep me company, you can go.
00:44:00Colin's a bastard!
00:44:02And Millie's no better!
00:44:04Two shameless cheats!
00:44:06And you, Austin, you're an idiot!
00:44:09Out of all the women in the world, why did you marry me?
00:44:13I've wanted to marry you since I was 14.
00:44:17Huh?
00:44:18What was that?
00:44:21When I was 14, at that party,
00:44:25it was the anniversary of my mother's death.
00:44:29My siblings cornered me, calling me a curse.
00:44:32A bringer of misfortune.
00:44:36At that banquet, you were just a little girl with braids,
00:44:39but you stood in front of me and protected me.
00:44:41From that moment, I told myself I'd wait for you to grow up.
00:44:44I've waited all these years,
00:44:46and now, you're finally mine.
00:44:54Have a nice dream, Brinley.
00:45:04Hello?
00:45:04Mrs. Moore, do you know where Mr. Moore is?
00:45:07He's missed a crucial meeting and isn't answering his phone.
00:45:09I... I'll check right now.
00:45:16Austin?
00:45:17Are you in there?
00:45:18Austin, answer me!
00:45:30Austin?
00:45:40The medicine bottles.
00:45:42So many stomach pills.
00:45:44The burnt steak.
00:45:45The horrible soup.
00:45:48He ate every last bite of my terrible cooking.
00:45:53You absolute fool.
00:45:56Austin?
00:45:57Please, wake up!
00:46:01I can smell the alcohol.
00:46:03He was already sick,
00:46:05and he still drank with me last night.
00:46:08Why are you here?
00:46:12You should go.
00:46:14Who's supposed to take care of you if I walk out?
00:46:17Lie down and stop fighting me.
00:46:20It might be contagious.
00:46:21You should go.
00:46:22Don't be ridiculous.
00:46:24Don't be ridiculous.
00:46:25Contagious?
00:46:25Try moving again and I'll throw you out myself.
00:46:28Mrs. Moore, the doctor is here.
00:46:30Doctor!
00:46:31Please check him right away.
00:46:37Acute gastric bleeding.
00:46:38Accompanied by the high fever.
00:46:40He needs to be transferred to the hospital at once.
00:46:46I'll go with him.
00:46:47I know exactly what he's eaten these last few days.
00:46:59The doctor said it's from eating terrible food and drinking alcohol.
00:47:02What now?
00:47:03Are you planning to blame this on me?
00:47:04I'm definitely putting the blame on you.
00:47:06I'm telling you now,
00:47:08don't even think about it.
00:47:11Stop laughing!
00:47:12Do you even remember you're supposed to be resting?
00:47:19Eat.
00:47:22You haven't eaten either.
00:47:24Have a taste?
00:47:26I'm not hungry.
00:47:27Go ahead, eat it yourself.
00:47:29Do you really have to push yourself this far?
00:47:31The company won't crumble without you for a few days.
00:47:35I'd hate for you to think I can't measure up to your standards.
00:47:38When you've recovered,
00:47:39let's set our companies against each other
00:47:41and watch which one thrives more.
00:47:43I'm in.
00:47:58Quit staring.
00:48:03You should watch it.
00:48:06Follow your instructions, my dear wife.
00:48:10Boss, the meeting has started.
00:48:19Sit here.
00:48:26He's so focused,
00:48:27it's like he's in his own world.
00:48:30The key is to acquire their patents
00:48:32before the merger is complete.
00:48:33We need to make them an offer they can't refuse.
00:48:36The merger will create a new market leader.
00:48:39The key is to get the shareholders on board.
00:48:47What's the matter?
00:48:49Caught up in your husband's charm, are you?
00:48:51Who's looking at you?
00:48:52I was thinking about my project.
00:48:54Your Cloud Vista States project?
00:48:56Do you want my help?
00:48:58He leaned so close, I could feel his breath.
00:49:07Sorry.
00:49:08Did that hurt?
00:49:09You're still recovering.
00:49:13I'm all right.
00:49:15Mr. Moore, Mrs. Moore,
00:49:16I-I didn't see a thing.
00:49:21What's wrong?
00:49:22I'll go see about dinner.
00:49:44You don't have to put yourself through all this.
00:49:47I'm not that picky.
00:49:48That was why you had managed to land yourself in the hospital.
00:49:53Now open up.
00:49:55What now?
00:49:56Eat it before it cools.
00:50:01Want something else tomorrow?
00:50:03The doctor said you could try other foods.
00:50:05You planning to cook it yourself?
00:50:08Of course not.
00:50:09I'll ask the butler to send something up.
00:50:12Just wishing I could eat something you make.
00:50:18Get well first,
00:50:19then you can chase down every bizarre cravings you want.
00:50:23I've cleared the dishes.
00:50:24I'll sleep in the caregiver's room next door.
00:50:26Wait!
00:50:26My stomach's acting up.
00:50:28Do you want me to call the doctor?
00:50:29No.
00:50:30It's an old problem.
00:50:31I can manage.
00:50:32Just...
00:50:33It's hard being alone if it gets worse in the night.
00:50:35Fine.
00:50:36I'll sleep on the folding bed in here.
00:50:39Austin, you jerk.
00:50:42Sneaking off with my cookies again.
00:50:49Still dreaming about that, are you?
00:50:57What's going on?
00:51:00You look even paler than last night.
00:51:05It's nothing.
00:51:06I just need to go to the bathroom.
00:51:08Go on your own, then.
00:51:12Help me.
00:51:13I feel dizzy.
00:51:17The bathroom door.
00:51:19Help me.
00:51:20Inside.
00:51:21Austin, handle it yourself.
00:51:22If you can't, I'll get a male nurse.
00:51:24No.
00:51:24I don't like strangers.
00:51:26I hate being touched by anyone else.
00:51:28Then why do you keep leaning on me?
00:51:29Because you're different.
00:51:31He just stared at me,
00:51:32so I stormed out.
00:51:37I told you to call the nurse,
00:51:39but no, you had to be stubborn.
00:51:41Now look at you.
00:51:41You can barely stand.
00:51:44Don't worry.
00:51:44I'm fine.
00:51:46With you here, I feel much better.
00:51:50Mr. Moore.
00:51:50These need your signature.
00:51:52I've turned away the media,
00:51:53and also the person the Moore family sent to inquire.
00:51:55Good.
00:51:56Tell my father I'm fine.
00:51:57I pretended to read,
00:51:59but his family's indifference felt strangely cold.
00:52:02Why just someone to ask?
00:52:03Why not come themselves?
00:52:07What's on your mind?
00:52:09You've been staring into space.
00:52:13Nothing.
00:52:14Nothing.
00:52:14I'll get you some water.
00:52:19That evening,
00:52:20just as I was clearing his dinner plates,
00:52:22he suddenly tensed,
00:52:24a sharp gasp of pain escaping his lips.
00:52:26Is it flaring up again?
00:52:29Yeah.
00:52:30It'll ease up soon.
00:52:31Don't call anyone.
00:52:32You have a fever.
00:52:33I'm calling the nurse.
00:52:34I tried to pull my hand free to press the call button,
00:52:36but he gripped my wrist,
00:52:37his skin burning against mine.
00:52:39Sometimes hassle is necessary.
00:52:40Let go.
00:52:41Brinley,
00:52:42just stay with me.
00:52:47Did you always have stomach problems?
00:52:50For years,
00:52:51I skipped too many meals for work.
00:52:53It caught up to me.
00:52:55Promise me you'll eat properly from now on.
00:52:58With you looking after me,
00:52:59I wouldn't dare skip another meal.
00:53:01Who said I'd be looking after me?
00:53:03It's chilly.
00:53:04The fever must be breaking.
00:53:05Here,
00:53:06I'll get you another blanket.
00:53:07You know,
00:53:08you toss and turn a lot when you sleep.
00:53:09What are you talking about?
00:53:10I caught you mommeling last night,
00:53:11and you kicked the blanket so hard
00:53:12you nearly sent the bed rail flying.
00:53:14You're making that up.
00:53:14I sleep soundly.
00:53:15I don't even dream.
00:53:16Oh,
00:53:16really?
00:53:17Care to see the video proof?
00:53:21He caught my wrist.
00:53:27Still planning to grab my phone?
00:53:31Let go of me!
00:53:38You jerk!
00:53:46Good night,
00:53:47Good night,
00:53:47Brinley.
00:53:49Over the next few days,
00:53:51a stream of visitors arrived.
00:53:53But his guard,
00:53:54Miguel,
00:53:54turned every single one away.
00:53:57Mr. Moore is resting.
00:53:58He won't be receiving visitors.
00:53:59His father sent me.
00:54:01I must see him.
00:54:01He's just fallen asleep.
00:54:02I will deliver his father's regards.
00:54:09Your family situation seems rather complicated,
00:54:13doesn't it?
00:54:18Why do you say that?
00:54:21I saw the butler.
00:54:23The way he looked at your door.
00:54:25It was full of meaning.
00:54:28You are actually perceptive.
00:54:31So it's true?
00:54:32More than half of the Moore family
00:54:34is just waiting for me to fall.
00:54:37What I have is far too admirable.
00:54:40I won't get caught up in it,
00:54:41will I?
00:54:42No.
00:54:43I hesitated,
00:54:44but walked over to him.
00:54:46He took my hand,
00:54:47his warmth seeping into my skin.
00:54:49As long as I'm here,
00:54:51no one can touch you.
00:54:56Even without you,
00:54:57no one can touch me.
00:55:03Of course.
00:55:07The chef and staff have arrived.
00:55:09Dinner will be prepared
00:55:11according to Mr. Moore's
00:55:12dietary requirements.
00:55:13Now that you're discharged,
00:55:15what do you want for dinner?
00:55:16Whatever you cook will be fine.
00:55:19Don't even dream of it.
00:55:20The doctor said your stomach
00:55:22is badly damaged.
00:55:23The chef is back,
00:55:24and he'll be handling your food.
00:55:26I won't be stepping
00:55:27into the kitchen again.
00:55:28I can't risk hurting you.
00:55:30All right.
00:55:31I'll do as you say.
00:55:40Mrs. Moore,
00:55:41please don't worry.
00:55:42Every dish is soft
00:55:43and easy to digest.
00:55:45Watch your step.
00:55:48Why are you here?
00:55:49Shouldn't you be resting?
00:55:51I was waiting for you.
00:55:53The doctor said
00:55:53light walks will help.
00:55:55Join me in the garden?
00:55:56Austin,
00:55:57aren't you worried
00:55:58people will use your sickness
00:55:59to cause trouble
00:56:00at the company?
00:56:01Don't let it weigh on you.
00:56:02Miguel will handle it.
00:56:12Mr. Moore,
00:56:13Mrs. Moore,
00:56:14the Moore family
00:56:15has invited you
00:56:16to the estate for dinner.
00:56:18Tell them
00:56:18we will visit
00:56:19this weekend.
00:56:20You're really going?
00:56:21But you're still recovering.
00:56:23I'll be fine.
00:56:24It's time you met
00:56:25my father
00:56:25and the rest of the family.
00:56:26Can I skip it?
00:56:27The thought of them
00:56:28all staring at me?
00:56:29Absolutely not.
00:56:30You are my wife.
00:56:31You are tied
00:56:31to the Moore family.
00:56:32The sooner you adapt,
00:56:33the easier it will be.
00:56:34Fine.
00:56:35I'll go.
00:56:41Miguel,
00:56:42what has Brynlyn
00:56:43been up to lately?
00:56:45Sir,
00:56:45she's been running
00:56:46all over the city.
00:56:47Luxury malls,
00:56:48auctions,
00:56:49antique shops,
00:56:49she's hunting for gifts
00:56:50for your family.
00:56:51She went by herself?
00:56:53Yes.
00:56:54She said she wanted
00:56:55to choose everything
00:56:56personally.
00:56:58You're home.
00:56:59Looks like you went
00:57:00a little overboard.
00:57:01Pretty much.
00:57:02I'm completely wiped out.
00:57:03My legs are killing me.
00:57:04I'm sorry,
00:57:05I didn't realize
00:57:05this one's for my dad,
00:57:06right?
00:57:06The painting?
00:57:07Miguel said he's into art.
00:57:08I can only hope
00:57:08he appreciates it.
00:57:09He'll love it.
00:57:10You handpicked it.
00:57:11He'd be a fool not to.
00:57:14You really don't need
00:57:15to go to so much trouble.
00:57:16It's fine if you don't
00:57:17prepare gifts for my family.
00:57:18How can you say that?
00:57:20It's my first zint.
00:57:21What if they think
00:57:21I tap proper manners
00:57:22and that I'm not
00:57:23good enough for you?
00:57:24That won't fapping.
00:57:26As long as I'm with you,
00:57:27no one will dare
00:57:28utter a word against you.
00:57:33Mrs. Mole,
00:57:34all the gifts
00:57:35have been taken
00:57:35into the car.
