00:03at least at least use protection i've always wondered if a woman must give her first time
00:09to someone she loves but when that sharp pain hit i knew my chance was gone forever
00:14that stranger forced himself on me i cried so hard i couldn't see clearly i wanted to run
00:19but i couldn't move trapped in despair knowing there was no escape i bit my lip to hide my fear
00:25and begged him in a dry voice the man on top of me didn't say a word became more violent
00:30and i
00:31finally blacked out it wasn't a nightmare i woke up alone the pain in my body telling me everything
00:37was real i realized then that the business dinner was a trap i was getting drunk and sent here to
00:44be taken advantage of julian please they drugged me someone is in my room i'm busy call the cops
00:51he crushed every last bit of love i had for him with those few words then i saw it julian
00:58has come
00:58home i took a deep breath preparing to confront him what is it
01:07you're home you look like you've been dragged through a hedge what do you want i wanted my
01:14husband last night i needed my husband i told you i was busy don't be so dramatic
01:21i saved your father's life and for that my one wish was to marry you a wish you've regretted
01:28every day since i'm sure you were an opportunist katherine nothing more you wanted to be queen
01:33stop standing there go make breakfast i'm heading out in half an hour julian what now let's get a
01:41divorce a business card on the floor it was from nash group julian's company
01:51the morning light felt cold his smile was always like this mocking distant as if i were nothing
01:56but a shadow in his life last night how could he speak of it so casually as if my pain
02:02was nothing
02:03more than a trivial matter this is about last night isn't it you're upset i didn't come running when
02:09you called elaine called earlier she said the lewis group deal went through you'll get your bonus
02:17don't worry eloise his beloved sister got me drunk at dinner that night changed everything
02:22to him it was nothing you used a bone marrow donation to push your way into this marriage three
02:28years ago so did you really believe you were so pure and innocent
02:35don't bother making breakfast just get lunch ready and deliver it to my office
02:42let's just cut to the chase
02:47i'm sure you know what happened to me last night
02:51i want a divorce
03:01he didn't even notice i wasn't the one who made his lunch after three years of my cooking
03:06nothing else tasted right to him anymore
03:25three years of marriage ended with a single stroke of the pen just like that
03:34send them to her
03:45find out who arranged for her to be at that hotel last night
03:56i spent nearly the entire day at the hospital my twin brother austin had been born with a
04:02neurological disorder
04:09life had been good until i turned 18 that's when everything shattered
04:16the back of my father being escorted to prison my mother huddled in the corner
04:20the empty factory after the collapse of our family business and the exhaustion from working at a convenience store late
04:26at night
04:32after getting married to julian for a moment i thought i'd found someone who could save me
04:36but even that hope slipped away
04:48it's getting late
04:54i won't be going back i'm divorcing him
04:57don't give him any excuse to be upset
05:00people like us can't expect the gnashes to treat us as equals
05:05who told you what happened
05:09i failed you
05:12i couldn't protect you
05:15if you walk away from julian now
05:17what happens to me to austin
05:22mom if julian ever intended to help don't you think he would have done something by now
05:32katherine
05:36the divorce agreement has been signed by mr nash
05:40he has signed the divorce agreement
06:02julian calm down you'll wear yourself out like this
06:05why are you here
06:06i heard about your argument with katherine don't tell me you're actually getting divorced
06:11who said that to you
06:18but she cheated on you julian

06:33Kacen you know i matter more than some people
06:35just don't say anything that'll upset my brother okay
06:39of course miss nash
06:47the hotel footage had already been erased
06:50nothing was caught on camera
06:51the so-called truth was merely the version those in power wanted you to see
06:58the divorce was still processing but i had finally started living for myself
07:09he remained the man who knew how to indulge
07:12i was simply the past he wished to forget
07:20did something happen
07:22your mother came by today had an argument and got so upset that she fainted
07:30in that moment i knew i had to return even though no one there would welcome me
07:36i thought leaving here meant a fresh start fate had other plans
07:50two weeks apart yet his gaze felt sharper than ever
07:57where's my mom
08:00the scorching sun didn't care about her tears
08:09she came with gifts
08:10but eloise wouldn't let her through
08:14it was never about me
08:15it was about money and power
08:24kathy i only did it because i care
08:28leaving already
08:29don't stop the show now
08:31my dad's a softy he falls for pity parties

08:47she threatened my darkest secret
08:48so i gave her a taste at my own medicine
09:07how dare you hurt her
09:11she worked with lewis group
09:13and trapped me for a 50 million dollar deal
09:16so tell me julian
09:18if your wife is worth 50 million
09:21how much is your sister worth
09:30the moment i saw the storm gathering in his eyes
09:32i knew everything had changed
09:34i didn't do anything to you
09:36katherine
09:36you went to that dinner on your own
09:39you chose to drink
09:40for the first time
09:42i wasn't afraid to show my teeth
09:46if you're so innocent
09:48let's get the cops involved
09:49let them sort out the truth
09:56go get your face looked at first
10:00something inside me was dying
10:02not my anger
10:03my hope
10:04the last shred of believing he might ever see me
10:07julian
10:08i'm to blame

10:21the divorce hasn't been finalized
10:23whether you really mean it or not
10:26you're still expected to follow through
10:32it's just for show
10:33don't read too much into it
10:35don't say a single word about what happened with lewis group's ceo
10:38you know who will suffer if this gets out

10:49no big deal
10:53congratulations

10:58then dragged me to see his father lawrence
11:00well

11:03i won't be around forever
11:06dad

11:22after three years of his coldness
11:25i saw my chance to strike back
11:27katherine
11:28you'd better think before you speak
11:31julian has a few
11:33concerns
11:34but i believe he's seeking help
11:36julian
11:38when the hell did this happen
11:40you were so smart before
11:42you really believe the nonsense that falls out of her mouth
11:45did you lose your sense
11:46she's your wife
11:47she sleeps beside you every night
11:49if anyone knows your body
11:52it's her
11:54don't stress father
11:57with how far medicine has come
11:58there's nothing that can't be dealt with
12:00but he's only in his twenties
12:01and if it came to that
12:04ivf is a completely normal option now
12:07my nonchalant smile sliced right through his pride
12:11dad
12:12there is nothing wrong with me
12:14if that's true
12:16show me
12:21show you
12:23what am i supposed to get an erection right here in front of you
12:30i want a grandson in my arms before the end of the year
12:34i almost dropped the cup in my hand
12:35frozen in place
12:36julian saw my shock
12:38but didn't help me at all
12:39want to prove your innocence
12:40clean up this mess yourself
12:43fine
12:44casey
12:45make me proud
12:46i knew i was cornered no matter what i said
12:48so i just nodded tightly to get through the moment
12:51Lawrence looked relieved and tired
12:53then went back to his room
12:54you care that i've never touched you don't you
12:57there has been no intimacy between us since we got married
12:59and i'm telling the truth
13:02so you're saying i'm incapable
13:04how would i owe
13:05why don't you ask your mistress to explain it clearly to your father
13:09three years
13:10your mouth has jonly started meek
13:12to learn can't yans
13:14tell him sooner rather than later
13:15you just agreed with your own words
13:17have seconds now
13:18you're far more skillful at scheming than your mother
13:21you really know how to use yourself to manipulate people
13:24who decides whether i can get pregnant or not if not you
13:27when have i ever begged you to make me pregnant
13:33julian leaving so soon
13:34a lace is badly injured
13:36i just got back from the hospital
13:38please forgive me for being neglectful
13:40stay in the hospital and rest properly if you're badly hurt
13:43stop causing trouble all the time
13:45okay
13:47i know she never likes me
13:51in her eyes i had no support
13:53and julian had turned his back on me
13:55don't let julian fool me
13:56find reliable people to keep an eye on them
13:59i must have a grandson
14:00understood
14:03i never wanted this marriage to begin with
14:10Lawrence isn't it too much for us to meddle in such a private matter
14:13i know this isn't exactly above board
14:16but that boy left me no choice
14:18do as i say
14:20the sooner we settle this the better
14:22mom
14:23if that scheming bitch gets pregnant with julian's child
14:25what will happen to louisa
14:26she's the one who should marry my brother
14:28you're just using her as an excuse to get close to her brother
14:31marrying into the right family will benefit you too
14:33don't worry
14:34everything is under my control
14:37i never expected my divorce to become so complicated
14:40ever since i moved into nash manor
14:42austin's health has been deteriorating day by day
14:45i was preparing a nutritious meal for Lawrence when camille walked in
14:48mr nash is truly fortunate to have a thoughtful wife like you
14:52the elder mr nash said everything is fine
14:55you just need to spend more time building a bond with mr nash
14:59she's a spy Lawrence sent to keep an eye on me
15:01we haven't had a meal together since signing the divorce papers
15:04just as i was about to make up an excuse julian arrived
15:07this is for Lawrence
15:09if you're hungry ask the nanny to make something for you
15:12do you want some soup
15:14without waiting for his reply
15:15i poured the soup down the drain
15:18alright there's nothing left now
15:20julian looked angry but said nothing
15:21i felt as if i were locked in a cage
15:24i didn't sleep that night and quietly went to the study to talk to him
15:28i can handle your father
15:29but we need a reasonable excuse
15:33bring your lover back
15:35say you've fallen for someone else
15:37i'm willing to step aside
15:41so if my dad gets too worked up and something happens to him
15:44it's all on me now
15:46that's a convenient little setup you've got there
15:49he laughed that chilling humorless laugh that sent ice down my spine
15:52even if you manage to calm him down after telling him the truth
15:54does that mean the drama ends there
15:56your mom your brother your chailed dad
15:57will they all magically disappear from my family's radar
16:00i never dragged you into any of their problems
16:01true you didn't come asking for handouts
16:03but do you even know what kind of favors she's been cashing in
16:06all right then
16:07show me what you've got
16:08or skip the effort
16:10just drug me
16:11i'll even have a few bottles delivered
