00:00:00At least, at least use protection.
00:00:04I've always wondered if a woman must give her first time to someone she loves,
00:00:07but when that sharp pain hit, I knew my chance was gone forever.
00:00:11That stranger forced himself on me.
00:00:13I cried so hard I couldn't see clearly.
00:00:15I wanted to run, but I couldn't move, trapped in despair.
00:00:19Knowing there was no escape, I bit my lip to hide my fear and begged him in a dry voice.
00:00:24The man on top of me didn't say a word, became more violent, and I finally blacked out.
00:00:30It wasn't a nightmare.
00:00:31I woke up alone, the pain in my body telling me everything was real.
00:00:36I realized then that the business dinner was a trap.
00:00:39I was getting drunk and sent here to be taken advantage of.
00:00:42Julian, please. They drugged me. Someone is in my room.
00:00:46I'm busy. Call the cops.
00:00:48He crushed every last bit of love I had for him with those few words.
00:00:53Then, I saw it.
00:00:55Julian has come home.
00:00:56I took a deep breath, preparing to confront him.
00:01:01What is it?
00:01:05You're home.
00:01:07You look like you've been dragged through a hedge. What do you want?
00:01:10I wanted my husband.
00:01:12Last night, I needed my husband.
00:01:15I told you I was busy. Don't be so dramatic.
00:01:18I saved your father's life.
00:01:21And for that, my one wish was to marry you.
00:01:24A wish you've regretted every day since, I'm sure.
00:01:26You were an opportunist, Catherine. Nothing more.
00:01:29You wanted to be queen.
00:01:30Stop standing there.
00:01:31Go make breakfast. I'm heading out in half an hour.
00:01:34Julian.
00:01:36What now?
00:01:37Let's get a divorce.
00:01:41A business card on the floor.
00:01:43It was from Nash Group.
00:01:45Julian's company.
00:01:48The morning light felt cold.
00:01:50His smile was always like this mocking, distant, as if I were nothing but a shadow in his life.
00:01:55Last night.
00:01:56How could he speak of it so casually?
00:01:58As if my pain was nothing more than a trivial matter.
00:02:02This is about last night, isn't it?
00:02:04You're upset I didn't come running when you called?
00:02:08Elaine called earlier.
00:02:10She said the Lewis Group deal went through.
00:02:12You'll get your bonus.
00:02:14Don't worry.
00:02:15Eloise, his beloved sister, got me drunk at dinner.
00:02:18That night changed everything.
00:02:20To him, it was nothing.
00:02:22You used a bone marrow donation to push your way into this marriage three years ago.
00:02:27So did you really believe you were so pure and innocent?
00:02:33Don't bother making breakfast.
00:02:34Just get lunch ready and deliver it to my office.
00:02:39Let's just cut to the chase.
00:02:44I'm sure you know what happened to me last night.
00:02:48I want a divorce.
00:02:59He didn't even notice I wasn't the one who made his lunch.
00:03:02After three years of my cooking, nothing else tasted right to him anymore.
00:03:22Three years of marriage ended with a single stroke of the pen.
00:03:26Just like that.
00:03:31Send them to her.
00:03:42Find out who arranged for her to be at that hotel last night.
00:03:53I spent nearly the entire day at the hospital.
00:03:56My twin brother, Austin, had been born with a neurological disorder.
00:04:06Life had been good, until I turned 18.
00:04:09That's when everything shattered.
00:04:13The back of my father being escorted to prison.
00:04:16My mother huddled in the corner.
00:04:18The empty factory after the collapse of our family business.
00:04:21And the exhaustion from working at a convenience store late at night.
00:04:29After getting married to Julian, for a moment, I thought I'd found someone who could save me.
00:04:33But even that hope slipped away.
00:04:45It's getting late.
00:04:51I won't be going back.
00:04:53I'm divorcing him.
00:04:55Don't give him any excuse to be upset.
00:04:57People like us can't expect the Nash's to treat us as equals.
00:05:02Who told you what happened?
00:05:06I failed you.
00:05:09I couldn't protect you.
00:05:12If you walk away from Julian now, what happens to me?
00:05:17To Austin?
00:05:19Mom, if Julian ever intended to help, don't you think he would have done something by now?
00:05:29Catherine!
00:05:34The divorce agreement has been signed by Mr. Nash.
00:05:37He has signed the divorce agreement.
00:05:59Julian, calm down.
00:06:00You'll wear yourself out like this.
00:06:02Why are you here?
00:06:04I heard about your argument with Catherine.
00:06:06Don't tell me you're actually getting divorced.
00:06:08Who said that to you?
00:06:15But she cheated on you, Julian.
00:06:18Stay out of things like this.
00:06:20Were you right there, at the bed, watching them?
00:06:22I seriously don't get why you kept her around.
00:06:25That's enough.
00:06:26Let my driver take you home.
00:06:29Kacen, come in.
00:06:31Kacen, you know I matter more than some people.
00:06:33Just don't say anything that'll upset my brother, okay?
00:06:36Of course, Ms. Nash.
00:06:44The hotel footage had already been erased.
00:06:47Nothing was caught on camera.
00:06:49The so-called truth was merely the version those in power wanted you to see.
00:06:55The divorce was still processing, but I had finally started living for myself.
00:07:06He remained the man who knew how to indulge.
00:07:10I was simply the past he wished to forget.
00:07:17Did something happen?
00:07:19Your mother came by today, had an argument, and got so upset that she fainted.
00:07:27In that moment, I knew I had to return, even though no one there would welcome me.
00:07:33I thought leaving here meant a fresh start.
00:07:36Fate had other plans.
00:07:47Two weeks apart, yet his gaze felt sharper than ever.
00:07:54Where's my mom?
00:07:57The scorching sun didn't care about her tears.
00:08:06She came with gifts, but Eloise wouldn't let her through.
00:08:11It was never about me.
00:08:13It was about money and power.
00:08:21Kathy, I only did it because I care.
00:08:25Leaving already?
00:08:26Don't stop the show now.
00:08:29My dad's a softie.
00:08:30He falls for pity parties.
00:08:35Tell me something.
00:08:36What exactly did I do to you?
00:08:39Do you have some kind of hidden agenda or what?
00:08:44She threatened my darkest secret, so I gave her a taste of her own medicine.
00:09:04How dare you hurt her.
00:09:08She worked with Louis Group and trapped me for a $50 million deal.
00:09:13So tell me, Julian.
00:09:16If your wife is worth $50 million, how much is your sister worth?
00:09:21How much is your sister worth?
00:09:27The moment I saw the storm gathering in his eyes, I knew everything had changed.
00:09:31I didn't do anything to you, Catherine.
00:09:34You went to that dinner on your own.
00:09:36You chose to drink.
00:09:38For the first time, I wasn't afraid to show my teeth.
00:09:44If you're so innocent, let's get the cops involved.
00:09:47Let them sort out the truth.
00:09:53Go get your face looked at first.
00:09:57Something inside me was dying.
00:10:00Not my anger, my hope.
00:10:01The last shred of believing he might ever see me.
00:10:05Julian, I'm to blame.
00:10:07I didn't teach my daughter right.
00:10:09If you're upset, be upset with me.
00:10:12Come upstairs.
00:10:14My dad wants to see you.
00:10:15We're getting divorced.
00:10:17What's the point in pretending anymore?
00:10:19The divorce hasn't been finalized.
00:10:21Whether you really mean it or not, you're still expected to follow through.
00:10:29It's just for show.
00:10:31Don't read too much into it.
00:10:32Don't say a single word about what happened with Lewis Group's CEO.
00:10:36You know who will suffer if this gets out.
00:10:38Relax.
00:10:39I'm not about to run to your dad and spill everything.
00:10:41It was just one night, right?
00:10:44I got paid, had my fun.
00:10:46No big deal.
00:10:50Congratulations.
00:10:51After three years of abstinence, you finally got laid.
00:10:54He called that nightmare fun, then dragged me to see his father, Lawrence.
00:10:58Well, when are you giving me a grandchild?
00:11:01I won't be around forever.
00:11:04Dad, it's not something we can rush.
00:11:06Three years and still nothing?
00:11:08Julian, just be straight with me.
00:11:09Are you having trouble in that area?
00:11:12I'm 26.
00:11:13Do you seriously think that's a possibility?
00:11:18Kathy, is it true?
00:11:20After three years of his coldness,
00:11:22I saw my chance to strike back.
00:11:24Katherine,
00:11:25you'd better think before you speak.
00:11:28Julian has a few
00:11:30concerns,
00:11:31but
00:11:32I believe he's seeking help.
00:11:34Julian!
00:11:35When the hell did this happen?
00:11:37You were so smart before!
00:11:39You really believe the nonsense that falls out of her mouth?
00:11:42Did you lose your sense?
00:11:44She's your wife!
00:11:45She sleeps beside you every night!
00:11:47If anyone knows your body,
00:11:49it's her!
00:11:52Don't stress, father.
00:11:53With how far medicine has come,
00:11:56there's nothing that can't be dealt with.
00:11:57But he's only in his 20s.
00:11:59And if it came to that,
00:12:01IVF is a completely normal option now.
00:12:04My nonchalant smile sliced right through his pride.
00:12:08Dad,
00:12:09there is nothing wrong with me!
00:12:12If that's true,
00:12:13show me.
00:12:19Show you?
00:12:20What,
00:12:21am I supposed to get an erection
00:12:22right here in front of you?
00:12:27I want a grandson
00:12:29in my arms
00:12:30before the end of the year!
00:12:31I almost dropped the cup in my hand,
00:12:33frozen in place.
00:12:34Julian saw my shock,
00:12:35but didn't help me at all.
00:12:36Want to prove your innocence?
00:12:38Clean up this mess yourself.
00:12:40Fine.
00:12:41Casey,
00:12:42make me proud.
00:12:43I knew I was cornered no matter what I said,
00:12:45so I just nodded tightly to get through the moment.
00:12:48Lawrence looked relieved and tired,
00:12:50then went back to his room.
00:12:52You care that I've never touched you, don't you?
00:12:54There has been no intimacy between us since we got married,
00:12:57and I'm telling the truth.
00:13:00So you're saying I'm incapable?
00:13:01How would I owe?
00:13:02Why don't you ask your mistress
00:13:03to explain it clearly to your father?
00:13:06Three years.
00:13:07Your mouth has jonly started meek.
00:13:10Deleurin can't, Yans.
00:13:11Tell him sooner rather than later?
00:13:12You just agreed with your own words.
00:13:14Have seconds now?
00:13:15You're far more skillful at scheming than your mother.
00:13:18You really know how to use yourself to manipulate people.
00:13:21Who decides whether I can get pregnant or not if not you?
00:13:25When have I ever begged you to make me pregnant?
00:13:30Julian, leaving so soon?
00:13:32Elise is badly injured.
00:13:34I just got back from the hospital.
00:13:36Please forgive me for being neglectful.
00:13:38Stay in the hospital and rest properly if she's badly hurt.
00:13:40Stop causing trouble all the time.
00:13:42Okay.
00:13:44I know she never likes me.
00:13:48In her eyes, I had no support,
00:13:50and Julian had turned his back on me.
00:13:52Don't let Julian fool me.
00:13:54Find reliable people to keep an eye on them.
00:13:56I must have a grandson.
00:13:58Understood.
00:14:00I never wanted this marriage to begin with.
00:14:07Lawrence, isn't it too much for us to meddle in such a private matter?
00:14:10I know this isn't exactly above board,
00:14:13but that boy left me no choice.
00:14:16Do as I say.
00:14:17The sooner we settle this, the better.
00:14:19Mom!
00:14:20If that scheming bitch gets pregnant with Julian's child,
00:14:23what will happen to Louisa?
00:14:24She's the one who should marry my brother!
00:14:25You're just using her as an excuse to get close to her brother.
00:14:29Marrying into the right family will benefit you two!
00:14:31Don't worry.
00:14:32Everything is under my control.
00:14:34I never expected my divorce to become so complicated.
00:14:37Ever since I moved into Nash Manor,
00:14:39Austin's health has been deteriorating day by day.
00:14:42I was preparing a nutritious meal for Lawrence when Camille walked in.
00:14:45Mr. Nash is truly fortunate to have a thoughtful wife like you.
00:14:49The elder Mr. Nash said everything is fine.
00:14:52You just need to spend more time building a bond with Mr. Nash.
00:14:56She's a spy Lawrence sent to keep an eye on me.
00:14:59We haven't had a meal together since signing the divorce papers.
00:15:02Just as I was about to make up an excuse, Julian arrived.
00:15:05This is for Lawrence.
00:15:07If you're hungry, ask the nanny to make something for you.
00:15:09Catherine.
00:15:10Do you want some soup?
00:15:11Without waiting for his reply, I poured the soup down the drain.
00:15:15Alright.
00:15:16There's nothing left now.
00:15:17Julian looked angry but said nothing.
00:15:19I felt as if I were locked in a cage.
00:15:21I didn't sleep that night and quietly went to the study to talk to him.
00:15:25I can handle your father, but we need a reasonable excuse.
00:15:30Bring your lover back.
00:15:32Say you've fallen for someone else.
00:15:34I'm willing to step aside.
00:15:39So if my dad gets too worked up and something happens to him, it's all on me now?
00:15:44That's a convenient little setup you've got there.
00:15:46He laughed that chilling humorless laugh that sent ice down my spine.
00:15:49Even if you manage to calm him down after telling him the truth, does that mean the drama ends there?
00:15:53Your mom, your brother, your chailed dad, will they all magically disappear from my family's radar?
00:15:57I never dragged you into any of their problems.
00:15:59True, you didn't come asking for handouts.
00:16:01But do you even know what kind of favors she's been cashing in?
00:16:04Alright then.
00:16:05Show me what you've got.
00:16:06Or skip the effort.
00:16:07Just drug me.
00:16:08I'll even have a few bottles delivered.
00:16:19Aren't the two of you heading to bed soon?
00:16:24I thought he married me for love.
00:16:26It was always just a transaction.
00:16:33That business card.
00:16:34That night, that man.
00:16:36I kept it like my last trump card.
00:16:49Sir, I need to tell you something.
00:16:51Go on.
00:17:00It's about your wife.
00:17:01She messaged me last night.
00:17:06Sir, perhaps someone hacked your wife's number?
00:17:12As a prank to drive a wedge accusations?
00:17:15If it was a hack, the dark circles under your eyes tell me you'd have found the culprit last night.
00:17:19I checked.
00:17:20The message came from inside the villa.
00:17:22Get a new phone later.
00:17:24Charge it to the company.
00:17:25Sir, could she just be venting about that night?
00:17:31Unbelievable.
00:17:32She's scheming to get pregnant on the sly.
00:17:35Get a new SIM card and hand over your current number.
00:17:40Sir, that number is connected to now.
00:17:45Got it, sir.
00:17:48And the investigation I ordered?
00:17:50Or are you getting paid a million dollars to cozy up to Eloase?
00:17:53Sir, please.
00:17:55Let me explain.
00:17:57I spent the day trying to see my father, but they wouldn't let me in.
00:18:01When I got home, the housekeeper met me at the door.
00:18:04Mrs. Nash.
00:18:04Mr. Nash asked if you could bring some food to the study.
00:18:07He's still waiting.
00:18:08He didn't touch dinner at all?
00:18:10Only a few sips of soup.
00:18:12He asked where you were.
00:18:16Where's Catherine?
00:18:17She went to the hospital, sir.
00:18:22Mrs. Nash said these were your favorites, so I followed her instructions.
00:18:28She told you that?
00:18:30All my emotions are settling down at this moment.
00:18:37I am not his servant.
00:18:39Not anymore.
00:18:52What on earth are you doing here?
00:18:56This is my house.
00:18:58Why couldn't I be here?
00:19:02We've always kept to separate rooms.
00:19:04What changed tonight?
00:19:07The housekeeper's posted up outside.
00:19:10You can sneak back to your room once she's asleep.
00:19:13Fine.
00:19:14You figure out how to slip away.
00:19:16Before I could reply, he stripped off his shirt.
00:19:19I instinctively pulled the blanket tighter around myself.
00:19:22I'm just going for a shower.
00:19:24What did you think I was going to do?
00:19:25It's the dead of night.
00:19:27A man and a woman alone.
00:19:28How am I supposed to know what you're planning?
00:19:30Only if I'd lost my mind would I ever want anything with you.
00:19:34It really does seem like you've lost your grip these days.
00:19:37Want your freedom?
00:19:38Then deal with the housekeeper yourself.
00:19:40As he walked to the bathroom, my eyes landed on the scratch marks on his back.
00:19:44Deep scratches from a woman's nails.
00:19:46You take the bed.
00:19:47I'll handle the housekeeper tomorrow.
00:19:48I've changed the sheets.
00:19:50They're fresh.
00:19:53Didn't the housekeeper pass along my message?
00:19:55The whole table was loaded with food I'm allergic for.
00:19:58I couldn't touch it.
00:19:59What?
00:20:00Didn't she ask about your allergies before she began?
00:20:02His accusation was so heartless.
00:20:04I couldn't speak.
00:20:05Didn't she learn it all from you?
00:20:06Wasn't it your idea?
00:20:08To have her make something I couldn't eat so you could swoop in and save the day?
00:20:11I just spun around and fled the room in tears.
00:20:13I ended up in the kitchen, cooking pasta for him.
00:20:17As my tears fell into the boiling water.
00:20:21What, are we so broke we can't afford salt now?
00:20:23Is that why you're seasoning it like that?
00:20:28Next time, don't cry.
00:20:30You look like a ghost out for revenge.
00:20:34I snatched Julian's phone, put it on speaker.
00:20:37How's your face, Eloise?
00:20:39Still sore?
00:20:41Catherine?
00:20:41What are you doing with my brother's phone?
00:20:43You pushed your way into marrying him.
00:20:45He never sees you as his wife.
00:20:47Julian and I are married.
00:20:48Why wouldn't we be?
00:20:49You've destroyed whatever he had with Louisa.
00:20:51You're disgusting.
00:20:54Of course.
00:20:55It's all me.
00:20:56Every night I threaten him with a knife just to make him come home.
00:20:59Your father's serving 25 years for first degree murder, isn't he?
00:21:02No, he was framed.
00:21:04I, indeed, offered a guard 200,000 yesterday.
00:21:08But he didn't take it.
00:21:10The money wasn't yours.
00:21:11This won't affect you.
00:21:13I'm free next Wednesday.
00:21:15I'll go visit him with you.
00:21:17Doing this out of kindness?
00:21:19For a moment, warmth stirred in me.
00:21:21Then I saw his mocking smile.
00:21:22This was not kindness, but leverage.
00:21:25Aren't things like this part of being married?
00:21:27I apologized for last night.
00:21:29He stared at me longer than usual.
00:21:31Was that a traction?
00:21:36Don't read into it.
00:21:37I'm not a germaphobe.
00:21:38I just don't want anything left behind.
00:21:40Your hands touched it.
00:21:42I'm sorry about last night.
00:21:44I lost control.
00:21:45If there's anything you need from me, just say it.
00:21:50You grabbed my phone and provoked Elise.
00:21:52What exactly were you planning?
00:21:56I'm sorry.
00:21:59That date, that promise, he was using it against me.
00:22:02Then I guess I should go ahead and cancel my plan next Wednesday.
00:22:06Me?
00:22:07Provoking Eloise for some purpose?
00:22:09She came at me first, so I pushed back, that's all.
00:22:12I recorded the call.
00:22:14And you really think someone like her would be shaken by that?
00:22:19I thought about dropping it in your clan's group chat.
00:22:22That clip would have done more damage to you than to her.
00:22:23I made sure you weren't in it.
00:22:26You're still keeping your promise for next Wednesday, right?
00:22:30Can I trust you not to lie to me?
00:22:32Depends on how I feel.
00:22:34My leverage, worthless before him.
00:22:41If it weren't for Catherine pulling the strings with my dad, Julian wouldn't still be trapped
00:22:45in that ridiculous marriage.
00:22:46You don't deserve to be sidelined like this.
00:22:48I really don't mind.
00:22:49Just knowing I hold even a small place in his seant is enough for me.
00:22:53Hey, do you know if Julian's free tonight?
00:22:55I'll ask Kastin.
00:22:56He'll know what Julian's schedule looks like.
00:23:12Sure.
00:23:15Julian, would you like to have dinner with me?
00:23:18I'm free.
00:23:19Let's go.
00:23:22not to get the katherine how's katherine these days you're not getting younger you should think
00:23:28about your future i'm focusing on my career i waited for so long prepared his favorite dishes
00:23:36lit candles but he didn't come home
00:23:50he's not incapable of romance he just never was romantic with me
00:24:00you're always at home dressed plainly no makeup how can you expect mr nash to stay interested
00:24:04if you look beautiful and confident he will come running back
00:24:08but julian already belongs to someone else if he's free to enjoy himself out there
00:24:13why should i be faithful
00:24:18but cheating outside marriage is just not right
00:24:22so julian's actions aren't cheating is it because he's a man that it somehow doesn't count
00:24:29the autumn wind is so cold but compared to the chill in my heart this cold is nothing
00:24:42is love really that necessary
00:24:45this someone you mentioned who exactly are you talking about there was this dog he had an owner
00:24:51a real home the owner even went as far as arranging a marriage for him i saw the dog wandering
00:24:57alone
00:24:57so i gave him some food but some dogs just can't be tamed for my father's visitation rights i had
00:25:02to bow
00:25:02my head this isn't surrender it's strategy that dog wouldn't happen to go by the name nash would it
00:25:07it's me i'm a dog come on bark for me oh and maybe get your heart checked every time you're
00:25:13near me it
00:25:13it goes wild
00:25:15that's nonsense
00:25:23you know what i'm really after
00:25:30hey dad
00:25:31what's going on
00:25:32at that moment i knew everything was about to change
00:25:37let let go
00:25:39not really we haven't gone to bed yet
00:25:41my only real wish now is for a grandchild
00:25:45she was secretly studying up on the best positions
00:25:49she's really worked wonders on you
00:25:52he said i was studying positions the bastard
00:25:56this long
00:25:57my hand touched somewhere i shouldn't have
00:25:59the size
00:26:00impossible
00:26:01julian you you might have a medical condition
00:26:04maybe some kind of viragous issue
00:26:07you don't have to sugarcoat it to compliment me
00:26:09you and i can lead separate personal lives
00:26:13but i can
00:26:14if you can promise me he's innocent
00:26:16changing the outcome is only a matter of time
00:26:20i need to rest
00:26:22this damn marriage
00:26:23i didn't mean to shut it so hard earlier
00:26:25i'm doing it again properly this time
00:26:27this damn man
00:26:30kason book a complete medical evaluation for me first thing tomorrow
00:26:38so it turns out i've hated the wrong person for five years
00:26:41five years
00:26:42he endured so much understanding yet never offered an explanation
00:26:47julian the husband i never gave a second glance
00:26:49now i understand what forbearance lay behind every coldness
00:26:59what are you doing here
00:27:01routine check
00:27:02how about you
00:27:03routine physical examination
00:27:05so close yet so far
00:27:07the distance between us has never felt so vast
00:27:10so suffocating
00:27:12julian that night
00:27:13no need to say more

00:32:20i took out my phone and called julian
00:32:22but it went unanswered
00:32:24having trouble getting through

00:32:33he won't touch anything you bring
00:32:34it'll go straight in the trash
00:32:36just then a familiar ding cut through the silence
00:32:39and the world seemed to stop

00:33:20i followed julian into his office
00:33:23he opened the pastry box i brought
00:33:25and the fragrance drifted softly through the silent air
00:33:29well
00:33:29be honest
00:33:30what's the score
00:33:35three out of ten
00:33:37three
00:33:38and yet you're devouring them like a starving man
00:33:41what a liar
00:33:45how did the housekeeper know how to make these
00:33:47he said it's a specialty from your mother's hometown
00:33:49thought you might remember the taste
00:33:51his face shifted
00:33:52just a flicker of something unreadable crossing his features
00:33:55before he set the empty container aside
00:33:58what's wrong
00:33:59if you hated it just say so
00:34:00i won't make it again
00:34:02katherine
00:34:03why doesn't your cooking
00:34:04ever set off my allergies

00:34:09that's all
00:34:12there's a private lounge here

00:34:22i'm tossing you and the pastries
00:34:24straight into the dumpster
00:34:26your top's practically transparent
00:34:29you got a problem
00:34:33i stepped out of his shower
00:34:35wrapped in a towel
00:34:38and that's member of the mom's scuvition towel
00:34:40only to realize my clothes were still dripping wet
00:34:48that moment
00:34:49my heart skipped a beat
00:34:50his gesture so casual
00:34:52as if no distance existed between us at all
00:35:00i thought he needed comfort
00:35:01never knowing his wound wasn't in longing
00:35:03but in those pasts he refused to speak of
00:35:06thinking about your mom?
00:35:08i barely remember her face
00:35:09so no, not likely
00:35:17i... i wasn't aware she was here
00:35:18apologies, i'll come back
00:35:25since you like it
00:35:26since you like it

00:35:28that moment
00:35:29my heart skipped a beat
00:35:30his gesture so casual
00:35:32as if no distance existed between us at all
00:35:37pretty average
00:35:45we went shopping at the boutique with laughter and joy
00:35:51oh come on, you and your husband must have experimented, right?
00:35:55after exiting the mall i saw his car parked by the roadside
00:36:00julian, what a surprise seeing you here
00:36:06i found out later what happened to the necklace julian gave me
00:36:09he went to his office and found the velvet box gone
00:36:11has my wife been in my office lately?
00:36:13no sir
00:36:13but your sister has stopped by more than once
00:36:18what's wrong, eloene?
00:36:19it's julian
00:36:20he's being so dramatic
00:36:21i bet katherine stirred things up
00:36:23and now he's lashing out at me
00:36:24eloene
00:36:25isn't lina grant hosting a celebration soon?
00:36:27let's merge my birthday celebration with her event
00:36:29a birthday is just a date
00:36:31building connections is what truly matters
00:36:32your league's ahead of katherine
00:36:33so thoughtful and poised
00:36:35he'd be a fool not to fall for you
00:36:37what is it?
00:36:38i need a shirt to go with this
00:36:39there's an event tomorrow
00:36:40what kind of event is it?

00:36:43it's lila grant's hundred day milestone with her boyfriend
00:36:45i'm just talking business
00:36:46i don't want to draw too much attention
00:36:47i was just adjusting his collar
00:36:49but my fingers brushed against his chest
00:36:51he was perfectly sculpted
00:36:53lost in thought?
00:36:54or are you meditating?
00:36:55feel free to admire
00:36:56i can take the shirt off if you want a better look
00:37:00take off your shirt, now
00:37:02and what exactly are those flower-shaped things?
00:37:05nipple covers
00:37:05i got them ages ago
00:37:06your shirt is sheer
00:37:07these will prevent things from showing
00:37:12and slap them onto his chest
00:37:14that's all
00:37:15i'm going to bed now
00:37:16at the gala
00:37:18i stared at my reflection
00:37:20almost a stranger to myself
00:37:23i put on the mask
00:37:25hoping to remain unseen
00:37:29miss grant
00:37:30today is my birthday
00:37:32and julian has been buried in work
00:37:34could i borrow your pianist for just a moment?
00:37:36a song might help him relax
00:37:37i'll need to ask first
00:37:39it should be her choice
00:37:41i appreciate that
00:37:44she's the pianist i mentioned
00:37:46incredibly gifted
00:37:47miss grant you're giving me too much credit
00:37:49i'm just here to earn a living
00:37:50you're too humble
00:37:51they brought in a steinwye for you
00:37:53so what's with the mask?
00:37:55it's just how the outfit was designed
00:38:04i kept telling myself i had moved on
00:38:06but seeing them together was a special kind of cruelty
00:38:11katherine
00:38:15i... i have to get back
00:38:16so it really is you
00:38:18leaving already?
00:38:19that's a little impolite
00:38:20please let me pass
00:38:22are you afraid of me?
00:38:24but why?
00:38:25i'm just someone julian knows
00:38:26you're his wife aren't you?
00:38:29or does seeing me really shake you that much?
00:38:35i ran
00:38:36her mocking voice echoing behind me
00:38:38i had to get this over with
00:38:43this pastry is claying
00:38:44already bored?
00:38:46we can head out soon if you want
00:38:48no need to worry about me
00:38:49then the light softened
00:38:51a piano melody swept through the hall
00:38:53everyone turned to watch the couple kiss
00:38:56but julian's eyes
00:38:59they bypassed them completely and landed right on me
00:39:05even in a room full of people
00:39:07i could feel the whispers turning towards me
00:39:09who is that at the piano?
00:39:11i don't know
00:39:12i've never seen her before
00:39:13she seems young
00:39:14probably just hired help
00:39:16if she's not from our circle
00:39:18i might have a shot
00:39:20don't
00:39:23i could feel his eyes on me from across the room
00:39:25a commanding presence that felt like it could see right through my mask
00:39:33julian!
00:39:34then
00:39:34a cheerful voice cut through the tension
00:39:36pulling his attention away
00:39:39what's inside?
00:39:40it's for you
00:39:41how would i know?
00:39:42just open it
00:39:45he pulled the ribbon
00:39:46and pink balloons soared into the air
00:39:48one after another
00:39:49with luisa emerging from among them
00:39:53it's your birthday
00:39:55why wrap yourself like a present?
00:39:57will you take the gift, julian?
00:40:00watching him offer tenderness to another woman
00:40:02sent a sharp H through me
00:40:03he was my husband
00:40:04and i was just a bystander
00:40:06miss
00:40:07here's the piece miss wright asked for
00:40:12i braced myself and began to play
00:40:14but my fingers faltered
00:40:16striking a harsh
00:40:17jaring chord that silenced the hall
00:40:20what happened?
00:40:22she stopped
00:40:22a blade
00:40:24there's a blade wedged between the keys
00:40:34hurts, doesn't it?
00:40:39i found the blade luisa hid between the piano keys
00:40:42an execution aimed straight at my hands
00:40:45what made her stop playing all of a sudden?
00:40:48seriously, who hired this pianist?
00:40:50is she deaf or just ignoring us?
00:40:52i pulled the blade free and began to play again
00:40:54what is this melody?
00:40:56it's...haunting
00:40:56she should be crying in pain
00:40:58is she playing a mourning song?
00:41:00on luisa's birthday?
00:41:02julian, why is everyone staring?
00:41:04they don't seem very pleased
00:41:06julian, it's my fault
00:41:08i only meant to borrow her for a short while
00:41:10maybe she's upset
00:41:11she's not even mad, right?
00:41:13she's playing perfectly fine
00:41:15please, just let it go
00:41:16i should have thought things through
00:41:17eloane, bring her here
00:41:21when the last note faded
00:41:23i didn't wait to be summoned
00:41:24i snatched a silver fork from a table
00:41:27and walked straight for her
00:41:31my brother wants to talk to you
00:41:35julian, stop her!
00:41:36she's coming for me!
00:41:39that's enough
00:41:41i sidestepped him and lunged for luisa
00:41:44he moved to block me
00:41:45catching my wrist just as he ripped my mask away
00:41:50catherine?
00:41:51are you out of your damn mind?
00:41:53let go
00:41:54she tried to stab me, julian!
00:41:56she's insane!
00:41:58my grip rip tightened
00:41:59you will answer to me
00:42:03no
00:42:04she will
00:42:07i sent luisa crashing to the floor
00:42:09with one swift kick
00:42:11what the hell is wrong with you?
00:42:14you crazy bitch!
00:42:15enough!
00:42:17he seized my wrist and jerked me backward
00:42:19shoving me toward luisa
00:42:22say you're sorry
00:42:24let me go
00:42:25you're going to apologize

00:42:31call the cops
00:42:32you don't get to command me

00:42:41take luisa to the hospital
00:42:44julian!
00:42:45he dragged me out of the hotel
00:42:46his grip like iron
00:42:53why did you go after luisa?
00:42:55let me go
00:42:57answer me
00:42:58what do you want me to admit?
00:43:00even if she started it
00:43:01you wouldn't believe me anyway
00:43:03started it?
00:43:04she never left my side
00:43:05do you hear how ridiculous you sound?
00:43:09i knew you'd say that
00:43:10you always rush to her defense
00:43:12starting now
00:43:14you don't mean anything to me
00:43:21julian!
00:43:22come with me
00:43:22luisa needs you at the hospital
00:43:30the banquet scene was in chaos
00:43:31i walked tall
00:43:33unable to hide the turmoil inside me
00:43:35trail her
00:43:37make sure she gets back safely
00:43:38yes sir
00:43:43what's going on with luisa?
00:43:45you're going to check on her?
00:43:47one more won't make a difference
00:43:48she might refuse the driver you sent
00:43:50should i take her?
00:43:51your own sister is hurt
00:43:52and you're worried about her instead?
00:43:54just a joke
00:43:55i know my limits
00:43:56the dried blood catching the light
00:43:57wait
00:43:58is this blood?
00:44:00get this treated
00:44:01at the hospital
00:44:06she humiliated me
00:44:07and julian just stood by
00:44:08and watched?
00:44:11you'd better be honest
00:44:12about what you did to katherine
00:44:14it's just a minor injury
00:44:16he won't care
00:44:20sir
00:44:21madam hasn't returned home yet
00:44:25don't mention her again
00:44:27she was so full of joy this morning
00:44:29saying she wanted to celebrate with you
00:44:32i'm sorry for getting you mixed up in this
00:44:35i just lost control for a moment
00:44:38you're too soft
00:44:39if it had been me
00:44:41i would have killed her
00:44:44i later learned that lila insisted on talking to julian
00:44:47we don't even know julian nash
00:44:49why on earth would he care what we have to say?
00:44:51lila was annoyed by luisa's overstepping at her party
00:44:54whether he listens or not doesn't matter
00:44:57i just want to get some justice
00:44:59julian agreed to the meeting easily
00:45:01but his mood was unusually bad that day
00:45:06that night involved miss right and mrs nash
00:45:08it would reflect poorly on us
00:45:10what does that have to do with me?
00:45:11but miss right she's
00:45:12nothing between us
00:45:13there is nothing between us
00:45:15what are you standing there for?
00:45:17got nothing better to do?
00:45:18get out!
00:45:19was your hand badly hurt?
00:45:20the stitches are out already
00:45:22i'm fine
00:45:22why is luisa targeting you?
00:45:25does julian have a crush on you?
00:45:28it's not that dramatic
00:45:29on the day of their meeting
00:45:30it rained heavily
00:45:31what gives you and luisa the right to bully catherine?
00:45:37a victim who attacks people with a fork
00:45:39and knocks someone flying with one kick
00:45:41how very novel
00:45:43why don't you ask what luisa did first?
00:45:49catherine cut her finger on a blade
00:45:50hidden in the piano keys
00:45:52and required several stitches
00:45:53the truth began to surface
00:45:54during the dinner between julian and lila
00:45:56when did this happen?
00:45:58after you left
00:45:58the razor blade was hidden inside the new sheet music
00:46:01i handed the matter of last week's banquet
00:46:03over to the police
00:46:04i have no idea what you're talking about
00:46:06police visit late at night
00:46:08what trouble have you got yourself into this time?
00:46:10leave me alone
00:46:11do whatever it takes to fix this
00:46:13is this about catherine?
00:46:15has he lost his mind
00:46:16defending her like this?
00:46:18he doesn't love you
00:46:19mrs catherine takes on jobs in three fields
00:46:20at the same time
00:46:21design, music, and translation
00:46:22her annual income is quite significant
00:46:24she earns between 50,000 and 200,000 per performance
00:46:27one more thing
00:46:27the card you gave her was recently charged overseas
00:46:29for over three million
00:46:30what did she buy?
00:46:32a mclaren
00:46:32call catherine and tell her to come back
00:46:34the madam might be busy
00:46:35would you like to call her personally?
00:46:38you call her
00:46:38without a word
00:46:39julian passed her his phone
00:46:41still no answer
00:46:42call again
00:46:43sir
00:46:43it seems she has blocked you
00:46:47i blocked him
00:46:48he looked very angry
00:46:52i loathed going back to that so-called home
00:46:55and unexpectedly ran into him
00:46:57i just came back to get something
00:46:59i'll leave right away
00:47:00catherine
00:47:01let's talk
00:47:03there's nothing to talk about
00:47:07louisa started it
00:47:08you didn't explain it properly at all
00:47:11so you've figured it all out now?
00:47:13i've already warned her
00:47:15your card was taken by aline
00:47:17why didn't you tell me?
00:47:18some things are pointless to say
00:47:20can't you just talk sense?
00:47:21i'm only talking to you the way you deserve
00:47:23then we'll talk in the study
00:47:24is this how a man should act?
00:47:26let go of me!
00:47:27have you lost your mind?
00:47:31later julian went to the hospital
00:47:33when caisson brought the necklace he prepared for me
00:47:35he gave it to caisson in anger
00:47:37it's yours now
00:47:38isn't this necklace for madam?
00:47:40it would be a waste to give it to her
00:47:42shall we head home mr julian?
00:47:45to the company
00:47:49i ran into ernest unexpectedly at the hospital
00:47:51and he apologized for louisa's behavior at the party
00:47:55don't you lay a finger on catherine
00:47:59julian you are overthinking
00:48:00i simply ran into miss clark
00:48:02and had a few words with her
00:48:03what?
00:48:04have you taken a fancy to married women now?
00:48:07catherine will never get a divorce
00:48:08don't waste your time
00:48:09how dare you fool around with another man
00:48:11right outside the hospital?
00:48:13what exactly are you back for?
00:48:14for your dignity or for your eyesight?
00:48:16what are you scheming with the rights?
00:48:17and why do you need earnest personal business card?
00:48:19is accepting a business card can come flirting?
00:48:22am i to be suspected even for just talking to someone?

00:52:49it's not for show
00:52:50i picked it out for you
00:52:51is your office running late tonight
00:52:53nash group doesn't believe in overtime
00:52:55right
00:52:57his message isn't from the person i texted
00:53:00let's talk later
00:53:02let's not keep lawrence waiting
00:53:03we should go
00:53:05we're here
00:53:08this bracelet is a hollow gesture
00:53:10i'd prefer something simpler
00:53:11absolutely not
00:53:13you give me a grand grand sub julian
00:53:14and i'll never meddle in your personal matters again
00:53:16you made the exact same promise when you forced me into marriage
00:53:19did you really think i'd fall for it twice
00:53:21his silence is a volcano about to erupt
00:53:24i don't want her around
00:53:26what's your problem
00:53:27was it necessary to screech chair across the floor
00:53:33that's a lie
00:53:34when did i ever say that
00:53:35you're twisting everything
00:53:37still denying it
00:53:38look at the way you're acting
00:53:39all right enough of this
00:53:40you're an adult now
00:53:41you can't crumble over every little thing
00:53:43camille is that what alish told you
00:53:44because i remember it very differently
00:53:46alish you practically stole that card from me
00:53:48insisting i wasn't worthy of julian
00:53:49or the nash family's resources
00:53:50what are you saying
00:53:51you never asked
00:53:52i never asked
00:53:53that card carried six million a year
00:53:55you took it without saying a word
00:53:56you did
00:53:58but i thought
00:53:59six million a year
00:54:00not even twenty over three
00:54:01if katherine wants it back
00:54:02i'll wire it to her
00:54:03if paying back stolen funds solved everything
00:54:05there'd be no need for law enforcement
00:54:07stolen
00:54:08that's a bit much
00:54:09don't you think
00:54:10return the money you took
00:54:11double the amount
00:54:12starting now
00:54:13i'll handle your allowance
00:54:14ten thousand per month
00:54:15for the next three years
00:54:17only ten thousand
00:54:18wasn't it your mother
00:54:19who said you were too young
00:54:20to need that kind of money
00:54:22his decision surprises me
00:54:24kath
00:54:24it's getting late
00:54:25you and julia should spend the night here
00:54:28and join me for breakfast tomorrow

00:54:46i'll have someone prepare it
00:54:48who is he
00:54:49why does he always appear
00:54:51when i need him
00:54:56the tension between julian and his father
00:54:59was thick enough to choke on
00:55:00what happened in that room
00:55:01he stood in the shadows
00:55:03when i was nice to camille tonight
00:55:05it wasn't because i meant it
00:55:07i just wanted to get under alacia's skin
00:55:09why are you justifying yourself to me
00:55:12if they don't have it in this city

00:55:29the bed had only one blanket
00:55:31and julian was already lying there
00:55:32expecting me to share it
00:55:34frustrated
00:55:34i kicked the bed
00:55:35a mistake
00:55:36instant toe pain
00:55:38katherine

00:55:53julian
00:55:54get up
00:55:55you need to drink the soup
00:56:03before i could react
00:56:05he pulled me into his arms
00:56:06and forced the soup into my mouth
00:56:07through a kiss
00:56:12after changing into our pajamas
00:56:13i slammed my foot down on his
00:56:15with a fury that made the floorboards rattle
00:56:17but he didn't even flinch
00:56:19that stuff must work quick
00:56:21look at you
00:56:23suddenly full of energy
00:56:24in the dark
00:56:25i heard muffled breathing
00:56:27strange restrained sounds
00:56:28my mind lit up with images
00:56:30i shouldn't be thinking about
00:56:32i woke up to find myself
00:56:34collapsed right on top of him
00:56:35worse
00:56:35my hand had connected with his face
00:56:37and then his most sensitive area
00:56:39i didn't mean to
00:56:40i'm really sorry
00:56:41when i sleep
00:56:43i clutch onto a pillow
00:56:44i guess i thought you were one
00:56:45he claimed the bed was too flimsy
00:56:47for intimacy
00:56:48i blushed in utter mortification
00:56:50didn't get much sleep did you
00:56:51what's going on with you
00:56:53the bed in my room
00:56:54is too flimsy
00:56:54for certain activities
00:56:55we moved to the balcony
00:56:56guess the cold wind got me sick
00:57:02inside the car
00:57:03julian coldly asked me
00:57:04why i was so kind to his father
00:57:07then told him the truth
00:57:08what did my dad give you
00:57:10to make you treat him so kindly
00:57:12when debt collectors came and forced me to sell myself
00:57:16it was your father who stepped in
00:57:19he gave me the money to fix everything
00:57:21he checked the sum his father had given me
00:57:23800,000
00:57:24his expression was unreadable
00:57:26only 800,000
00:57:32oh absolutely
00:57:33mr nash is wonderful to work with
00:57:35we've even become friends over the course of our collaboration
00:57:38since you two are friends now mr dupont
00:57:40there's something i think you should know
00:57:42your temporary interpreter miss clark
00:57:44she doesn't even hold a real translation certification
00:57:47is that really the case
00:57:48i'd be more than happy to help you arrange that
00:57:50free of charge
00:57:51one more thing miss right
00:57:53it's never a good idea to badmuth people
00:57:55when they're not around
00:57:59julian i hate to bother you
00:58:01but elise has been really upset lately
00:58:02she keeps coming to me in tears
00:58:04and i can't just stand by
00:58:05so i had to come come talk to you about it
00:58:08let her cry all she wants
00:58:09don't give her a single cent
00:58:11understood
00:58:11mr nash
00:58:12it seems you're lucky to have
00:58:13miss right's expert hands
00:58:15sounds like he's envious
00:58:16why don't you give him one later
00:58:17i wouldn't even think of it
00:58:22in that moment
00:58:23i saw the challenge in her eyes
00:58:25and the evasion in his
00:58:26we were husband and wife
00:58:28yet we stared at each other like strangers
00:58:30this game was just beginning
00:58:32how about nine
00:58:34sorry i'm unavailable tonight
00:58:35you invited me last time
00:58:37but i showed up at the hotel and never saw you

00:58:58riverpoint hotel
00:58:59that's a pretty low tier pick

00:59:11the room was dark
00:59:12and so was my heart
00:59:13i knew he was on his way
00:59:15i knew i shouldn't expect anything
00:59:17but that familiar feeling
00:59:18it wouldn't fade
00:59:24seriously
00:59:25don't bring him up right now
00:59:26you're killing the moment
00:59:28then why don't you pretend i'm him
00:59:30doesn't bother me
00:59:32treat me as your husband

01:00:32i'll drive you back
01:00:33julian drives the exhausted catherine home
01:00:36at home
01:00:37julian carried the sleeping catherine to her bed
01:00:39but she wouldn't let go of his arm
01:00:41let go
01:00:41she didn't
01:00:42so he shoved an ugly turtle plush into her arms and left
01:00:46under the pillow
01:00:47he found their marriage certificate
01:00:49his name was blacked out with angry marker strokes
01:00:52the corners were frayed
01:00:53she'd held it too many times

01:10:51hiding behind a fake identity
01:10:52and somehow you ended up in bed with him

01:10:59oh honey you definitely to the right person
01:11:01if that were me
01:11:02i wouldn't say a thing

01:16:40katherine never heard the name
01:16:43i can tell that this man has just finished a private meeting and is about to tidy his appearance

01:18:06she belongs to you
01:18:08she's mine
01:18:11julian's statement had barely settled
01:18:12when louisa's complexion turned ghostly
01:18:15lila's gaze turned toward me
01:18:17she wore that familiar cunning smile
01:18:18get out of here
01:18:19feeling overwhelmed by guilt
01:18:21eloise tried to sneak away quietly
01:18:23but julian wasn't done with her yet
01:18:26miss nash your brother instructed me to take you home safely
01:18:29i'm not going back

01:18:31she thought of lawrence's rage
01:18:33screaming and kicking
01:18:34the driver relayed julian's orders
01:18:36polite yet firm
01:18:37he said if you refuse to cooperate
01:18:39once pearson confesses everything
01:18:41the police will happily give you your own cell
01:18:44the driver stayed calm
01:18:45issuing a final warning
01:18:46fear surged through her veins
01:18:48as she realized someone must have ticked off
01:18:50outside the city blurred her freedom slipping away
01:18:53mr nash we've arrived
01:18:56miss nash is in the back seat
01:18:57eloise was helped out of the car
01:18:59by the driver and staggered too
01:19:00toward the entrance of the manor
01:19:02her legs went weak
01:19:03and she could barely stand
01:19:04julian please
01:19:05she glanced back
01:19:07eyes despairing at her lost freedom
01:19:09eloise tried to flee
01:19:10but the driver stopped her
01:19:12the gate slammed shut
01:19:13crushing her last hope
01:19:18i'm her man
