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, Brinley? It's a pity to see you leaving.
00:00:18I am. I'd like to spend more time with my family.
00:00:22Mrs. 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?
00:00:38Excellent. Will Mr. Palmer be joining you to sign the contract?
00:00:46No, he's tied up with work. Turingly, religiously, and telst.
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.
00:01:00So 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?
00:01:39Probably 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?
00:03:07I know it isn't fair, but when Millie left to pursue her career abroad, I was heartbroken.
00:03:12Then Brinley came along. She reminded me so much of Millie.
00:03:16Dating 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.
00:03:25She 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.
00:03:37She was my first love.
00:03:38So you forged a marriage certificate?
00:03:41Colin, that makes you a scumbag.
00:03:43Yes, I'm a scumbag.
00:03:45I want Millie's fire and Brinley's gentleness. I want them both.
00:03:48I walked away from that conversation. My heart shattered.
00:03:51The man I loved for two years was a liar.
00:03:54I'm back.
00:03:55Welcome home.
00:03:58Mmm, what did you make? Smells delicious.
00:04:01Your favorite? Grilled meat.
00:04:03I watched him all through dinner.
00:04:05His phone never left the table, face down.
00:04:09My head aches a little.
00:04:11Could you fetch me some medicine from upstairs?
00:04:13Of course. You just rest here.
00:04:18The moment he was gone, I snatched his phone.
00:04:21My birthday didn't work.
00:04:22Our anniversary didn't work.
00:04:24You don't look well. Do you want to lie down?
00:04:26I'm fine.
00:04:27Is something wrong at the office?
00:04:29You kept glancing at your phone.
00:04:31Yes, a project issue.
00:04:32I might need to head back later.
00:04:34Then go.
00:04:34Work always comes first.
00:04:36Don't wait up for me.
00:04:37Get some rest.
00:04:39As the door clicked shut, my smile crumbled.
00:04:44I picked up my phone, my hand trembling.
00:04:48Dad, I've decided.
00:04:50I'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.
00:05:05Isn't that Brynlyn? What is she doing here?
00:05:08I 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.
00:05:16Look 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.
00:05:26Hardly 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.
00:05:34Millie's the one by his side now.
00:05:35She'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.
00:05:40And as for why I'm here,
00:05:41does the Knight Family need your permission before extending an invitation?
00:05:44Get off your high horse, Brynly.
00:05:46Everyone knows about your scandal.
00:05:47No man would ever want you now.
00:05:49It's none of your business, Miss Dale.
00:05:51Instead of wasting your time on me,
00:05:52perhaps you should pay attention to Dale Group stock.
00:05:54Word is, it's been plummeting.
00:05:56What are you talking about?
00:05:57That's complete nonsense.
00:05:58Don't play dumb.
00:05:59You 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,
00:06:21my gaze was ice.
00:06:24What are you doing here?
00:06:26Why did you disappear without a single word?
00:06:28I burned time and money trying to find you!
00:06:30Tell 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,
00:06:44but you should move on.
00:06:45Showing up like this just makes things harder.
00:06:47What is she even after?
00:06:48Colin has moved on.
00:06:50Someone 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.
00:06:55Just apologize.
00:06:56I 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.
00:07:18With 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,
00:07:36Who gave you the right to disrespect our guest?
00:07:39How could you assume she walked in without an invitation?
00:07:45I'll go along with whatever arrangements Mrs. Knight has made.
00:07:50Understood.
00:07:52Mrs. Knight was just speaking of you.
00:07:54Please, this way.
00:07:58As Ryan led me away,
00:08:00the man who tried to kick me out crashed to his knees.
00:08:04Mrs. Shaw, please!
00:08:05Forgive my rudeness!
00:08:06Grant me mercy!
00:08:09You've broken the family rules.
00:08:11That's why you're fired.
00:08:12Not because of Miss Shaw.
00:08:17Escort him out!
00:08:18His employment is terminated!
00:08:22Make it clear he will never be rehired.
00:08:25Wait!
00:08:25Ryan, please!
00:08:26Don't do this!
00:08:33Colin, let's sit down over there.
00:08:35It's getting far too crowded.
00:08:37Fine.
00:08:37Just watch your step.
00:08:45Is that Mr. Moore?
00:08:46My God, what on earth is Austin Moore doing here?
00:08:48He never shows up to these things.
00:08:49Mr. Moore!
00:08:50What an honor to have you with us tonight.
00:08:57Sir, your wife is already upstairs in the VIP lounge.
00:09:02The Knights left Austin Moore waiting?
00:09:04This is about to get ugly.
00:09:07Colin, my stomach feels a little uneasy.
00:09:10What's wrong?
00:09:10Come, I'll take you to the lounge so you can rest.
00:09:13Mr. Moore, you probably haven't been told,
00:09:15but the Knight family has been pouring all their attention on Miss Shaw tonight.
00:09:18One might assume she was some exalted figure.
00:09:21Oh?
00:09:22My wife sure knows how to stir things up, huh?
00:09:25Your...
00:09:25Your wife?
00:09:32Sir, that's enough.
00:09:33Please come with us.
00:09:34What are you doing?
00:09:35I was just trying to let Mr. Moore know...
00:09:37Mr. Moore's business is not yours to discuss.
00:09:40Mr. 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.
00:10:10Mr. Moore will be with you all day.
00:10:12Let me introduce Miss Brinley Shaw.
00:10:13Ah, Miss Shaw.
00:10:15Easy on the eyes, but your judgment?
00:10:17Not 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!
00:10:25That'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 just meant you have exquisite taste in beautiful women.
00:10:47Mr. 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 have no idea what you're talking about.
00:11:06Instead of speculating about my life, wouldn't it be wiser to tend to your own affairs?
00:11:11Well, Brinley certainly has a sharp tongue.
00:11:15Everyone, let's sit down!
00:11:16Quite 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...
00:11:52시سب.com
00:11:53Oh, no.
00:12:06She's looking.
00:12:13She's looking.
00:12:15Mrs. Moore, I need you.
00:12:16She's looking.
00:12:17She's looking.

00:12:51with that i was done with him forever after the banquet ended i tried to leave exhausted by the
00:12:59night's events but my escape was cut short by a familiar imposing presence

00:14:27trouble trouble is that what you think i am that's settled all right as you wish my dear wife

00:15:11come help
00:15:18in the soft glow of the kitchen my hands moved on autopolt
00:15:21the familiar rhythm of the knife a small comfort
00:15:24you handle that knife quite well did you often cook for colin
00:15:28yes
00:15:29looking back it was a complete waste of effort

00:15:37why should i

00:16:03a few minutes later he set three dishes on the table
00:16:05the beef was charred black
00:16:07the 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
00:16:12but your cooking seems to be lacking
00:16:14i've trained with a knife
00:16:15heat 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
00:16:25a sharp contrast to the gentle man he was pretending to be
00:16:28pull yourself together brinley
00:16:30this is just a marriage of convenience
00:16:32don't let appearances deceive you

00:17:18the battle was over before it even began
00:17:21i watched austin go upstairs

00:21:20how that even i had almost forgotten
00:21:22it isn't hard to learn about someone
00:21:23cheers
00:21:27there's an urgent problem at the company
00:21:29head upstairs and get some rest
00:21:30back home
00:21:31his sudden departure felt like an escape
00:21:36but his words about my past echoed in my mind
00:21:39i found myself drawn to his study
00:21:42the study was just as he was
00:21:43organized
00:21:44imposing
00:21:45and full of secrets
00:21:46my fingers brushed against a loose board on a shelf
00:21:49revealing a hidden compartment
00:21:50inside 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
00:21:57what are you doing here
00:22:03mr moore
00:22:03i thought you went to the company
00:22:09what are you hiding behind your back
00:22:12hiding my sketches
00:22:13don't you think that crosses into invading my privacy
00:22:16fear gave was a violation
00:22:17this was
00:22:18i found them by chance
00:22:20they had a certain spark
00:22:21i thought they might be useful for a project
00:22:24since when do you pay attention to a university student's designs
00:22:27anything with potential tends to draw my attention
00:22:30it feels like more than a coincidence
00:22:32that the designs you admire happen to belong to me
00:22:37he closed the distance in an instant
00:22:41trapping me against the desk
00:22:42it does feel like quite the coincidence
00:22:45it does feel like quite the coincidence
00:22:52tell me brinley
00:22:56are you doubting me
00:22:57i
00:22:58i was only asking
00:23:01i shouldn't have come into your study
00:23:03he stepped closer
00:23:04lifting 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
00:23:19if he was in the dining room
00:23:21i ate in my room
00:23:23if he was on the stairs
00:23:25i hurried past without a word
00:23:33in the car
00:23:35the silence was suffocating
00:23:36until my brother's name lit up my phone like a lifeline

00:25:34i hope you'll let it slide
00:25:36brinley is incredibly thoughtful

00:25:50act like any ordinary son
00:25:51your 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
00:26:01my 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
00:26:08the silence was comfortable

00:26:28you're reading too much into it
00:26:30i've just been
00:26:31really busy
00:26:33really
00:26:33because i can't shake the feeling

00:26:50fine
00:26:51let's go
00:26:54he was already there
00:26:55a towel slung low on his hips
00:26:57water tracing the lines of his muscles
00:26:59you've been watching me for three minutes straight
00:27:04with a body like this
00:27:06you could easily walk a runway
00:27:08though i have to say
00:27:10touching it feels even better
00:27:14brinley
00:27:15isn't this exactly what you like
00:27:17then why the sudden blush
00:27:22i left him standing there and went to my room
00:27:24my heart pounding from my own daring
00:27:27why am i so tempted by him
00:27:29this is a marriage of convenience
00:27:31i can't forget that
00:27:33colin was the same
00:27:34and he destroyed everything
00:27:38brinley
00:27:39you 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
00:27:46bare chested
00:27:47sweat gleaning on his sculpted muscles
00:27:50careful
00:27:50the dumbbell crashed to the floor
00:27:52and i rushed forward
00:27:53but he swept me into his arms
00:27:55pressing me against his hot damp chest
00:27:57i'm exhausted
00:27:59let's rest a little
00:28:02austin you
00:28:03your sweat is getting on my blouse
00:28:06is it
00:28:09his nose grazed my ear
00:28:11and i shivered
00:28:12but then my training kicked in
00:28:14i twisted
00:28:15dug my knee into his side
00:28:17and rolled him onto the mat
00:28:18playing helpless mr moore
00:28:20with muscles like these
00:28:21i must admit
00:28:23those lines
00:28:25they're sculpted like a fashion models
00:28:27but in a flash
00:28:29he reversed our positions
00:28:30pinning me beneath him
00:28:31when we ate ahead
00:28:33tone clefierty would taunt
00:28:35his face inches from mine

00:29:17the ac in the gym broke

00:29:29i arrived at the business gala
00:29:31as the new ceo of vantage path realty

00:29:39different
00:29:40more dazzling than ever
00:29:44i ignored their stares
00:29:45but a man with an oily grin
00:29:47soon cornered me on the terrace
00:29:51miss shaw

00:30:21narrator
00:30:21his thick fingers reached to pinch my chin
00:30:24i slapped him across the face
00:30:26the sound silencing the entire hall
00:30:29you dared to slap me
00:30:31what's wrong with that
00:30:32look at yourself
00:30:33pathetic oily and shameless
00:30:35mr scott
00:30:36laying hands on a woman hardly suits a gentleman
00:30:39mr palmer
00:30:40with your company stock in free fall
00:30:41you still have the nerve to metal
00:30:43worry about your own crumpling empire
00:30:45and you
00:30:46don't think a pretty face
00:30:48makes you exceptional
00:30:50and dick
00:30:51at the end of the day
00:30:52you're just a woman
00:30:53what could you possibly accomplish
00:30:55you pathetic whore
00:30:56say that again
00:30:58i dare you
00:30:59before he could repeat the insult
00:31:01i kicked the back of his knee
00:31:03seized his tie
00:31:04and slammed his cheek against the polished floor
00:31:12i'll make sure you learn what respect really means
00:31:15the party was in full swing
00:31:17a symphony of laughter and clinking glasses
00:31:19until a sudden gape cut through the noise
00:31:21it's austin moore
00:31:22he's here
00:31:22a hush fell over the room
00:31:24like the red sea parting
00:31:25the crowd made a path for him
00:31:26he walked straight through the silent crowd to me
00:31:28his eyes fixed on a single target
00:31:30his eyes burned with a cold fire
00:31:33as he reached me
00:31:34a flicker of something unreadable in their depths
00:31:36as he draped his jacket over my shoulders
00:31:42mr moore
00:31:42it's a misunderstanding
00:31:44i swear
00:31:45miguel
00:31:46throw him out
00:31:47and from this moment
00:31:48though not more group is targeting
00:31:50echoed in the dead silence
00:31:51each single project run by death sentence
00:31:53his voice
00:31:54no please mr moore have mercy
00:31:55as they dragged him away screaming
00:31:57the reality of his power settled over the room
00:32:00like a shroud
00:32:01i looked up at the man who had just destroyed another for my sake
00:32:05trying to understand
00:32:10why are you here you never come to these things
00:32:15because you're here
00:32:16mr moore
00:32:17if i may
00:32:19who is this lady to you
00:32:20she is my wife
00:32:22brinley moore
00:32:23and i warn anyone who dares to lay a hand on her
00:32:27you will find yourself standing against the full power
00:32:30of my company
00:32:31then through the sea of stunned faces
00:32:33i saw my ex
00:32:35colin
00:32:35watching us
00:32:36his face pale
00:32:39brinley
00:32:39i remembered your throat always acts up
00:32:41i had them prepare that special drink you like
00:32:45thank you mr palmer
00:32:46but i'll take care of my wife's needs
00:32:48you should direct that concern towards your
00:32:50companion
00:32:52colin
00:32:52oh wait
00:32:53my mistake
00:32:54she 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
00:33:06starting with a batch of burnt cookies
00:33:10wow these are
00:33:12something else
00:33:13what do you call them
00:33:14charcoal brigands
00:33:16if you're hungry there are sandwiches in the fridge
00:33:18don't touch those
00:33:21he'd been coming home early every day
00:33:24then i remembered he'd sent the chef and housekeeper on medical lee last week
00:33:28you orchestrated this on purpose
00:33:32actually i think your cooking has a kind of everyday warmth to it
00:33:35honestly it's more satisfying than a michelin three-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
00:33:48as your husband i should at least act grateful
00:33:51if you enjoy it so much
00:33:52i'll make car grilled avocado with pickled herring tomorrow
00:33:57now that sounds like a challenge
00:33:59i'll be looking forward to your masterpiece
00:34:01for days
00:34:02i 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
00:34:30what is austin like at the company
00:34:32mr moore
00:34:33today he called a competitor's proposal
00:34:35garbage
00:34:36and the man nearly collapsed
00:34:38garbage
00:34:39last week he sued a business partner into bankruptcy
00:34:44he 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
00:35:11something bothering you you look pale
00:35:17later 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
00:35:30a testimony to the terror that held me captive even in sleep
00:35:33i heard his footsteps coming up the stairs
00:35:34each one a heavy thup that echoed my own frantic heartbeat
00:35:37he walked down the dark corridor
00:35:38a shadow moving towards the slimmer of light from my room
00:35:41the doorknob turned with agonizing slowness the click of the lash sealing my fate
00:35:45my kidney
00:35:46austin give it back
00:35:47he loomed over me in the darkness
00:35:49his hand reaching out
00:35:50and for a moment my nightmare and reality merged
00:35:52the instant his hand touched my cheek my eyes snapped open
00:35:55ah austin you really came to steal my kidney
00:35:58brinley it's all right
00:35:59you were caught in a bad dream
00:36:00but his voice was calm
00:36:01a gentle anchor in my storm of panic
00:36:03the terror receded
00:36:04leaving a disorienting fog of confusion in its whack
00:36:06you were mumbling quite a bit
00:36:07something about me being after your kidney
00:36:08heat flooded my cheeks
00:36:09i couldn't meet his gaze
00:36:10i was just rambling nonsense
00:36:11some steam softening with an under chasing me
00:36:13you should go
00:36:14get some sleep
00:36:14he didn't press
00:36:15and 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
00:36:21replaced by someone i didn't know
00:36:23he waited
00:36:24his face a cold calculating mask in the glow of the screen
00:36:27i could almost feel the shift in him
00:36:29the moment his suspicion hardened into certainty
00:36:32we need to have a talk tomorrow
00:36:33the next morning
00:36:34the sunlight that filled the dining room
00:36:35did 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
00:36:41nightmares happen
00:36:42don't read too much into it
00:36:44with those words she shut the door on any conversation
00:36:46leaving us in a silence colder than any nightmare
00:36:48i had to know what austin was hiding
00:36:50after escaping our silent breakfast
00:36:52i slipped back inside and crept up to his study
00:36:54my heart pounded against my ribs
00:36:56a frantic drumbeat of fear and determination
00:36:59taking a deep breath i committed
00:37:01it can't be locked
00:37:02please
00:37:03yes
00:37:03i moved quickly
00:37:04silently
00:37:05my hands searching for any trace of myself
00:37:07any clue to his secrets
00:37:08but as nothing photographed
00:37:09not a mention of my work
00:37:10where is it
00:37:11the 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
00:37:20when his voice cut through the silence
00:37:22cold
00:37:22what 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
00:37:27i spun around so fast
00:37:28i knocked over a stack of books
00:37:29my 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
00:37:35he moved with impossible speed
00:37:36he caught them easily
00:37:38effortlessly
00:37:38and steadied me
00:37:39his hand burning against my waist
00:37:41there's nothing worth your attention in here
00:37:42perhaps
00:37:43we were suddenly impossibly close
00:37:44his voice a low murmur
00:37:46i have to go
00:37:46i'll be in my room
00:37:47his touch was electric
00:37:48i had to get away
00:37:49later that day
00:37:50i tried to sneak out to see my father
00:37:51but austin was in the foyer
00:37:52blocking my path
00:37:53my escape was cut short
00:37:55he was there
00:37:56with miguel
00:37:57miguel's shock was almost
00:37:58mr moore
00:37:58you'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
00:38:04i can call a shit
00:38:05it's different miguel
00:38:05she eats restaurant food all the time
00:38:07he ignored miguel's suggestion
00:38:09his focus elsewhere
00:38:10i think
00:38:10she might like something homemade
00:38:12for a fleeting moment
00:38:13i saw something else in his eyes
00:38:14then his eyes found me
00:38:16he knew i was there all along
00:38:17where are you going
00:38:18caught my heart sank
00:38:19i tried to sound casual
00:38:21to hide the tremor in my voice
00:38:23to visit my father
00:38:24i need to talk to him
00:38:25his answer was not a request
00:38:27it was a command
00:38:28i've made dinner
00:38:29eat with me first
00:38:31he moved
00:38:32subtly
00:38:32trapping me
00:38:33then i'll go with you
00:38:34i felt the walls closing in
00:38:36the air growing thin
00:38:37that's not necessary
00:38:38you don't have to
00:38:39he closed the distance between us
00:38:41his
00:38:41try my cooking
00:38:42it's overwhelmed
00:38:42a silent order was given
00:38:44and obeyed instantly
00:38:46and then there were two
00:38:48miguel's gone
00:38:48it'll just be the two of us
00:38:50i followed austin into the dining room
00:38:52a perfect feast was laid out
00:38:54a cruel contrast to the charred food
00:38:56i'd been making for days
00:38:57what are you standing there for
00:38:59sit down and see for yourself
00:39:03i'll pass

00:39:08i'm not hungry
00:39:09just one bite
00:39:11if it's awful
00:39:12you can throw the plate at my face
00:39:16i finally gave in
00:39:17my fingers curling around the fork
00:39:19with resistance
00:39:24oh
00:39:26so
00:39:26how is it
00:39:30it's fine
00:39:31but my hand betrayed me
00:39:32reaching for the lobster
00:39:33then the soup
00:39:34then the lamb
00:39:35i ate like someone
00:39:36who 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
00:39:50it's not terrible

00:39:57i'm on my way
00:40:00something urgent came up at the company
00:40:02i'll need to step out
00:40:04all right
00:40:07take your time and enjoy
00:40:08the moment the door clicked shut
00:40:11my appetite vanished
00:40:13replaced by an explicable hollowness
00:40:15i reached for the bowl of soup he'd left untouched
00:40:19and drank every last flat
00:40:23dad i need the truth
00:40:25what's really behind this arranged marriage to austin
00:40:32brinley
00:40:33there are things you're old enough to hear now
00:40:36years ago austin's mother
00:40:39was in a devastating car accident
00:40:44your mother
00:40:45risked her own life
00:40:47to save her
00:40:50my mother
00:40:51out of gratitude their family proposed a marriage alliance
00:40:55they've been waiting for you all these years
00:40:57even 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 i have legs of my own
00:41:37stop moving
00:41:37the floor's slick
00:41:39you'll make us both fall
00:41:55i didn't do it on purpose
00:41:59you call that an accident
00:42:01we kissed

00:42:07have i lost my mind
00:42:09get away from me
00:42:13get away from me
00:42:41Stop it.
00:42:59Brinley, I love Millie. She's the one who fits me, body and soul.
00:43:12That's why I never touched you.
00:43:29Brinley.
00:43:32Austin, why aren't you in bed?
00:43:34I heard a noise. Want a drink?
00:43:40Let'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. I just think something's weighing on you.
00:43:53Spare me the questions. If you're not going to keep me company, you can go.
00:44:00Colin's a bastard, and Millie's no better.
00:44:03Two 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.
00:44:16Huh? What was that?
00:44:21When I was 14, at that party, it 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, but you stood in front of me and protected
00:44:40me.
00:44:41From that moment, I told myself I'd wait for you to grow up.
00:44:44I've waited all these years, and now, you're finally mine.
00:44:54Have a nice dream, Brindley.
00:45:03Hello?
00:45:04Mrs. Moore, do you know where Mr. Moore is?
00:45:06He's missed a crucial meeting and isn't answering his phone.
00:45:09I... I'll check right now.
00:45:16Austin, are 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.
00:45:47He 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, and 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.
00:46:19It might be contagious.
00:46:21You should go.
00:46:22Don't be ridiculous.
00:46:24Contagious?
00:46:25Try moving again, and I'll throw you out myself.
00:46:27Mrs. 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.
00:46:58The doctor said it's from eating terrible food and drinking alcohol.
00:47:02What now?
00:47:02Are you planning to blame this on me?
00:47:04I'm definitely putting the blame on you.
00:47:06I'm telling you now, don't even think about it.
00:47:10Stop laughing!
00:47:12Do you even remember you're supposed to be resting?
00:47:22You haven't eaten either.
00:47:24Have a taste?
00:47:25I'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, let's set our companies against each other and watch which one thrives more.
00:47:42I'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, it's like he's in his own world.
00:48:30The key is to acquire their patents before 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?
00:48:57He leaned so close, I could feel his breath.
00:49:07Sorry!
00:49:08Did that hurt?
00:49:09You're still recovering!
00:49:12I'm alright.
00:49:14Mr. Moore!

00:59:33scarf
00:59:33oh my gosh brinley you are really generous
00:59:35you've been very thoughtful
00:59:36but these gifts cost a foreign buy
00:59:38our family has always preached restraint
00:59:40exactly
00:59:41dimma could be so careless
00:59:42and isn't it austin's money you're burning
00:59:44they saw me as an easy target
00:59:46a way to make austin look bad
00:59:48i lifted my handbag
00:59:50slipped out a stack of printed pages
00:59:54how about you take a look at these
00:59:56i chose every gift myself
00:59:58and i paid for them with my own money
01:00:00here are the itemized receipts and my bank statements
01:00:03go ahead and verify them
01:00:08hold on

01:00:12we're talking 32 million
01:00:14no way

01:00:16why would you torch that much money
01:00:22if you doubt me
01:00:23feel free to look into it yourself
01:00:26i've built up plenty over the years
01:00:29using my own savings to buy gifts for my husband's family
