Transcript

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.

00:00:54Julian has come home.

00:00:56I took a deep breath, preparing to confront him.

00:01:01What is it?

00:01:04You'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.

00:01:14I 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.

00:01:28Nothing more.

00:01:29You wanted to be queen.

00:01:30Stop standing there.

00:01:31Go make breakfast.

00:01:33I'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.

00:02:58He didn't even notice I wasn't the one who made his lunch.

00:03:01After 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.

00:04:57But people like us can't expect the Nash's to treat us as equals.

00:05:02Who told you what happened?

00:05:07I failed you.

00:05:09I couldn't protect you.

00:05:12If you walk away from Julian now, what happens to me?

00:05:16To Austin?

00:05:19Mom, if Julian ever intended to help, don't you think he would have done something by now?

00:05:24Mom, I don't 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.

00:06:19Were 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, Miss Nash.

00:06:46The 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?

00:09:07How dare you hurt her?

00:09:08She worked with Lewis Group and trapped me for a $50 million deal.

00:09:13So tell me, Julian, if your wife is worth $50 million, how 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.

00:09:59Not 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.

00:10:35You 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, no 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?

00:11:00I won't be around forever.

00:11:03Dad, 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?

00:11:17Kathy, is it true?

00:11:20After three years of his coldness, I saw my chance to strike back.

00:11:24Catherine, you'd better think before you speak.

00:11:28Julian has a few concerns, but I believe he's seeking help.

00:11:34Julian, when 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?

00:11:43She's your wife.

00:11:45She sleeps beside you every night.

00:11:47If anyone knows your body, it's her.

00:11:52Don't stress, father.

00:11:54With how far medicine has come, there'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, IVF is a completely normal option now.

00:12:04My nonchalant smile sliced right through his pride.

00:12:08Dad, there is nothing wrong with me.

00:12:11If that's true, show me.

00:12:19Show you?

00:12:20What, am I supposed to get an erection right here in front of you?

00:12:27I want a grandson in my arms before the end of the year.

00:12:31I almost dropped the cup in my hand, frozen in place.

00:12:34Julian saw my shock, but didn't help me at all.

00:12:36Want to prove your innocence?

00:12:38Clean up this mess yourself.

00:12:40Fine.

00:12:40Casey, make me proud.

00:12:43I knew I was cornered no matter what I said, so I just nodded tightly to get through the

00:12:47moment.

00:12:48Lawrence looked relieved and tired, then 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, and 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 to explain it clearly to your father?

00:13:06Three years.

00:13:07Your mouth has jonly stirreded meek.

00:13:10Do you learn 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.

00:13:22Who 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?

00:13:32Elis is badly injured.

00:13:34I just got back from the hospital.

00:13:36Please forgive me for being neglectful.

00:13:37Stay 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, and 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?

00:14:11I know this isn't exactly above board, but that boy left me no choice.

00:14:15Do 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, what 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.

00:14:28Marrying 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, Austin'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.

00:15:06If 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.

00:15:27But 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?

00:16:03Alright then, show me what you've got.

00:16:06Or skip the effort, just 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.

00:17:06Hi.

00:17:06Are you free to sleep with me?

00:17:10Sir, 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.

00:17:23Charge it to the company.

00:17:25Sir, could she just be...

00:17:26Venting?

00:17:27About that night?

00:17:31Unbelievable.

00:17:32She's scheming to get pregnant on the sly.

00:17:35Get a new SIM card.

00:17:37And hand over your current number.

00:17:40Sir, that number is connected to...

00:17:42Now.

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.

00:18:03Mrs. 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.

00:18:11He 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...

00:18:24I 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?

00:19:59Didn't she ask about your allergies before she began?

00:20:02His accusation was so heartless.

00:20:03I 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.

00:20:29You look like a ghost out for revenge.

00:20:34I snatched Julian's phone.

00:20:36Put 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.

00:21:24Aren'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 attraction?

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?

00:21:59That 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 Elise 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 Catherine-y.

00:23:24How's Catherine these days?

00:23:26You're not getting younger.

00:23:27You should think about your future.

00:23:29I'm focusing on my career.

00:23:33I waited for so long, prepared his favorite dishes, lit candles, but he didn't come home.

00:23:50He's not incapable of romance.

00:23:52He just never was romantic with me.

00:24:00You're always at home, dressed plainly, no makeup.

00:24:02How 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.

00:24:11If he's free to enjoy himself out there, why should I be faithful?

00:24:18But cheating outside marriage is just not right.

00:24:22So Julian's actions aren't cheating.

00:24:24Is it because he's a man that it somehow doesn't count?

00:24:29The autumn wind is so cold.

00:24:31But 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?

00:24:49There was this dog.

00:24:50He had an owner.

00:24:52A real home.

00:24:52The owner even went as far as arranging a marriage for him.

00:24:56I saw the dog wandering alone, so I gave him some food.

00:24:58But some dogs just can't be tamed.

00:25:00For my father's visitation rights, I had to bow my head.

00:25:03This isn't surrender, it's strategy.

00:25:05That dog wouldn't happen to go by the name Nash, would it?

00:25:07It's me.

00:25:08I'm a dog.

00:25:09Come on, bark for me.

00:25:10Oh, and maybe get your heart checked.

00:25:12Every time you're near me, it goes wild.

00:25:16That's nonsense.

00:25:23You know what I'm really after.

00:25:30Hey dad, what's going on?

00:25:33At that moment, I knew everything was about to change.

00:25:37Let, let go.

00:25:39Not really.

00:25:40We haven't gone to bed yet.

00:25:42My 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.

00:26:10You 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.

00:26:26I'm doing it again, properly this time.

00:26:28This damn marriage.

00:26:30Kacen, 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.

00:26:43He endured so much understanding

00:26:45yet 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, so suffocating.

00:27:12Julian, that night-

00:27:13No need to say more.

00:27:14There's nothing to explain.

00:27:16But I-

00:27:16How is your inspection result?

00:27:18Is he running or protecting me?

00:27:21Sis, you look different today.

00:27:23There's light in your eyes.

00:27:25Has something happened?

00:27:29Nothing much.

00:27:30Just figured some things out.

00:27:32In this world, only you truly love me.

00:27:34Austin, dear brother.

00:27:35Mother never cared for us.

00:27:37We were just her pawns.

00:27:40Three years of marriage, all I got was silence and humiliation.

00:27:45This is a gift for Ernest.

00:27:47I need to pay for it myself.

00:27:48That's what makes it meaningful.

00:27:50I'm going to put it on his wrist tonight.

00:27:51Your allowance seems to multiply rather quickly these days.

00:27:55Who said it's just your allowance?

00:27:56I've been investing with Louisa lately and made some money.

00:28:01Is she buying clothes for another man?

00:28:03Shut up.

00:28:04She's not like that.

00:28:06See?

00:28:06The sweater she's holding isn't even your size.

00:28:09It must be for some old man.

00:28:14Ma'am, this sweater will suit your dad perfectly.

00:28:18Let me look at this tie, too.

00:28:23Ma'am, this tie is this year's new style, perfect for your husband.

00:28:30All right, I'll take it.

00:28:35Sir, madam is waiting for you upstairs.

00:28:37Waiting for me?

00:28:38Why?

00:28:39You'll know when you go up, sir.

00:28:46Catherine?

00:28:47You're waiting for me?

00:28:48Um, this is for you.

00:28:51For me?

00:28:52Why?

00:28:55So, what do you want?

00:28:59It's nothing.

00:29:00I saw a tie today and thought of you.

00:29:03You thought of me?

00:29:05How sweet.

00:29:07Do you like it?

00:29:09You put it on me.

00:29:13I've never learned to tie one properly.

00:29:16Used to insist on doing it.

00:29:17Every single morning.

00:29:19That version of me doesn't exist anymore.

00:29:21I've forgotten.

00:29:24Fine.

00:29:30It's done.

00:29:31Now, my dad's been worried.

00:29:33I thought if we took a picture together, it might easy his mind.

00:29:36A picture?

00:29:38All this drama for a picture?

00:29:40Just stand still.

00:29:41And could you try to look like you don't want to kill me?

00:29:43I leaned closer, forcing a painful smile,

00:29:46and miscalculated the distance my lips brushed as lightly.

00:29:50I'm sorry, I...

00:29:52Don't move.

00:29:52Why aren't you pushing me away?

00:29:55Where's the contempt?

00:29:57He didn't push me away.

00:29:59Instead, he held my waist and the back of my head, deepening the kiss.

00:30:09His kiss wasn't gentle.

00:30:10It was harsh and overpowering.

00:30:13Julian!

00:30:14Stop!

00:30:15Let me go!

00:30:16And I couldn't breathe.

00:30:18I tried to push him away, but he just pulled me onto his lap,

00:30:21his arms locking around my waist.

00:30:23Catherine.

00:30:25The moment his grip loosened,

00:30:27I scrambled to the other end of the room.

00:30:29You didn't take a picture.

00:30:31You recorded audio.

00:30:33Give that back to me!

00:30:34My IP had recorded everything.

00:30:36All those little gasps.

00:30:38I must have missed them at the time.

00:30:39Delete it!

00:30:40This is my room!

00:30:41You need to get out!

00:30:46Later, with his help,

00:30:47I was finally able to visit my father in prison.

00:30:53Dad?

00:30:55It's me, Catherine.

00:30:56He looked so frail.

00:30:58He reached for me,

00:30:59trying to speak,

00:31:00but only distorted sounds came out.

00:31:01Miss Clark,

00:31:02our time is up.

00:31:04I don't understand.

00:31:06Who would do this?

00:31:08Before we left,

00:31:09Mr. Nash instructed me to check on your father's circumstances.

00:31:13Julian did?

00:31:14Julian?

00:31:15Why would he do that?

00:31:16I spoke to an old acquaintance inside.

00:31:18He'll make sure your father is protected.

00:31:20He planned for this?

00:31:22He knew.

00:31:22He knew this would happen.

00:31:26This is a specialty pastry from Julian's mother's hometown.

00:31:30He loved it as a child.

00:31:32I'll learn carefully.

00:31:35To thank him,

00:31:36I learned to make his Child Hill pastry.

00:31:44The lobby was as cold and imposing

00:31:46as the man who owned it.

00:31:49No appointment,

00:31:50no meeting.

00:31:51You need to leave.

00:31:52I refused to be intimidated.

00:31:54I was just here to deliver a thank you.

00:31:56I'm just dropping something off for Julian Nash.

00:31:58You can check with his assistant.

00:32:01Every woman who shows up

00:32:02says the same thing.

00:32:03Spare me the act.

00:32:04Just call Cazen Price.

00:32:06If you're so confident,

00:32:07call him yourself.

00:32:09Or do you think you're Miss Wright

00:32:10who can waltz in here

00:32:11whenever she pleases?

00:32:13Her words hit me like a physical blow.

00:32:15Miss Wright.

00:32:16The name echoed in the cavernous lobby

00:32:18and in my heart.

00:32:20I took out my phone

00:32:21and called Julian,

00:32:23but it went unanswered.

00:32:24Having trouble getting through?

00:32:27Fine.

00:32:28I'll just leave this here.

00:32:30Please see that he gets it.

00:32:32Don't bother.

00:32:33He won't touch anything you bring.

00:32:35It'll go straight in the trash.

00:32:36Just then,

00:32:37a familiar ding cut through the silence

00:32:39and the world seemed to stop.

00:32:41Good day, Mr. Nash.

00:32:44Catherine,

00:32:45why didn't you wait for me in my office?

00:32:48Have you eaten?

00:32:50Let's talk upstairs.

00:32:52No.

00:32:53I made this to thank you.

00:32:55Eat it or throw it away.

00:32:56I'm leaving.

00:32:57I turned to walk away,

00:32:58but he caught my wrist,

00:33:00his grip firm.

00:33:02Why are you acting like this?

00:33:03Did she give you trouble?

00:33:10Mr. Price, please.

00:33:11I fought so hard for this job.

00:33:13I swear I didn't do anything to her.

00:33:15You made a huge mistake.

00:33:16HR will handle your severance.

00:33:20I followed Julian into his office.

00:33:23He opened the pastry box I brought,

00:33:26and the fragrance drifted softly

00:33:28through the silent air.

00:33:29Well,

00:33:30be honest.

00:33:30What's the score?

00:33:35Three out of ten.

00:33:37Huh.

00:33:38Three?

00:33:38And yet you're devouring them

00:33:40like a starving man.

00:33:41What a liar.

00:33:44How did the housekeeper

00:33:46know how to make these?

00:33:47He said it's a specialty

00:33:47from your mother's hometown.

00:33:49Thought you might remember the taste.

00:33:51His face shifted,

00:33:52just a flicker of something

00:33:53unreadable crossing his features,

00:33:55before he set the empty container aside.

00:33:58What's wrong?

00:33:59If you hated it,

00:34:00just say so.

00:34:00I won't make it again.

00:34:02Catherine,

00:34:03why doesn't your cooking

00:34:04ever set off my allergies?

00:34:07Just took some effort,

00:34:09that's all.

00:34:12There's a private lounge here.

00:34:14Get cleaned up

00:34:15with a hot shower

00:34:15before you go.

00:34:18It's fine.

00:34:19I'll just do it at home.

00:34:21If you end up with pneumonia,

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

00:34:39of the Moem Skuvition towel,

00:34:40only to realize

00:34:42my clothes

00:34:42were still dripping wet.

00:34:48That moment,

00:34:49my heart skipped a beat,

00:34:51his gesture so casual,

00:34:52as if no distance existed

00:34:54between us at all.

00:34:59I thought he needed comfort,

00:35:01never knowing his wound

00:35:02wasn't in longing,

00:35:03but in those pasts

00:35:04he refused to speak of.

00:35:06Thinking about your mom?

00:35:08I barely remember her face,

00:35:09so no,

00:35:10not likely.

00:35:17I...

00:35:17I wasn't aware she was here.

00:35:19Apologies,

00:35:19I'll come back.

00:35:25Since you like it,

00:35:27try it on.

00:35:28That moment,

00:35:29my heart skipped a beat,

00:35:31his gesture so casual,

00:35:32as if no distance existed

00:35:33between us at all.

00:35:37Pretty average.

00:35:45We went shopping at the boutique

00:35:47with laughter and joy.

00:35:51Oh, come on,

00:35:52you and your husband

00:35:53must have experimented,

00:35:54right?

00:35:55After exiting the mall,

00:35:57I saw his car

00:35:57parked by the roadside.

00:36:00Julian!

00:36:01What a surprise

00:36:02seeing you here!

00:36:06I found out later

00:36:07what happened

00:36:07to the necklace

00:36:08Julian gave me.

00:36:09He went to his office

00:36:10and found the velvet box gone.

00:36:11Has my wife

00:36:12been in my office lately?

00:36:13No, sir,

00:36:13but your sister

00:36:14has stopped by

00:36:15more than once.

00:36:18What's wrong,

00:36:19Eloine?

00:36:19It's Julian!

00:36:20He's being so dramatic!

00:36:21I bet Catherine

00:36:22stirred things up

00:36:23and now he's

00:36:24lashing out at me!

00:36:25Eloine,

00:36:25isn't Lena Grant

00:36:26hosting a celebration soon?

00:36:27Let's merge my birthday

00:36:28celebration with her event.

00:36:29A birthday is just a date.

00:36:31Building connections

00:36:31is what truly matters.

00:36:32Your league's ahead

00:36:33of Catherine,

00:36:34so thoughtful and poised.

00:36:35He'd be a fool

00:36:35not to fall for you!

00:36:37What is it?

00:36:38I need a shirt

00:36:38to go with this.

00:36:39There's an event tomorrow.

00:36:41What kind of event is it?

00:36:42Are you one of the key guests?

00:36:43It's Lila Grant's

00:36:44hundred-day milestone

00:36:44with her boyfriend.

00:36:45I'm just talking business.

00:36:46I don't want to draw

00:36:47too much attention.

00:36:48I was just adjusting

00:36:49his collar,

00:36:49but my fingers brushed

00:36:50against 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

00:36:58if you want a better look.

00:37:00Take off your shirt,

00:37:01now.

00:37:02And what exactly

00:37:03are those flower-shaped things?

00:37:05Nipple covers.

00:37:05I got them ages ago.

00:37:07Your shirt is sheer.

00:37:07These will prevent

00:37:08things from showing.

00:37:12And slap them

00:37:13onto his chest.

00:37:14That's all.

00:37:15I'm going to bed now.

00:37:17At the gala,

00:37:18I stared at my reflection,

00:37:20almost a stranger

00:37:21to myself.

00:37:23I put on the mask,

00:37:25hoping to remain unseen.

00:37:29Miss Grant,

00:37:31today is my birthday,

00:37:32and Julian has been

00:37:33buried in work.

00:37:34Could I borrow your pianist

00:37:35for just a moment?

00:37:36A song might help him relax.

00:37:37I'll need to ask first.

00:37:40It 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,

00:37:48you're giving me

00:37:48too much credit.

00:37:49I'm just here

00:37:50to earn a living.

00:37:50You're too humble.

00:37:51They brought in

00:37:52a Steinwein for you.

00:37:53So,

00:37:54what's with the mask?

00:37:55It's just how

00:37:56the outfit was designed.

00:38:04I kept telling myself

00:38:05I had moved on,

00:38:06but seeing them together

00:38:08was a special kind

00:38:09of cruelty.

00:38:11Catherine.

00:38:14I,

00:38:15I have to get back.

00:38:16So it really is you.

00:38:18Leaving already?

00:38:19That's a little impolite.

00:38:21Please,

00:38:21let me pass.

00:38:22Are you afraid of me?

00:38:23But why?

00:38:24I'm just someone

00:38:26Julian knows.

00:38:26you're his wife,

00:38:28aren't you?

00:38:28Or does seeing me

00:38:29really shake you that much?

00:38:35I ran,

00:38:36her mocking voice

00:38:37echoing behind me.

00:38:39I had to get this over with.

00:38:43This pastry is claying.

00:38:45Already bored?

00:38:46We can head out soon

00:38:47if you want.

00:38:48No need to worry about me.

00:38:49Then,

00:38:50the light softened.

00:38:51A piano melody

00:38:52swept through the hall.

00:38:54Everyone turned

00:38:55to watch the couple kiss.

00:38:57But Julian's eyes,

00:38:59they bypassed them

00:39:00completely

00:39:00and landed right on me.

00:39:05Even in a room

00:39:06full of people,

00:39:07I could feel the whispers

00:39:08turning towards me.

00:39:09Who is that

00:39:10at the piano?

00:39:11I don't know.

00:39:12I've never seen her before.

00:39:13She seems young,

00:39:15probably 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

00:39:24from across the room,

00:39:25a commanding presence

00:39:26that felt like it could see

00:39:27right through my mask.

00:39:33Julian!

00:39:34Then,

00:39:34a cheerful voice

00:39:36cut through the tension,

00:39:37pulling 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

00:39:47soared into the air

00:39:48one after another,

00:39:49with Louisa emerging

00:39:51from among them.

00:39:53It's your birthday.

00:39:55Why wrap yourself

00:39:56like a present.

00:39:57Will you take the gift,

00:39:59Julian?

00:39:59Watching him offer tenderness

00:40:01to another woman

00:40:02sent a sharp H through me.

00:40:03He was my husband,

00:40:05and I was just a bystander.

00:40:06Miss,

00:40:07here's the piece

00:40:08Miss Wright asked for.

00:40:12I braced myself

00:40:13and began to play,

00:40:14but my fingers faltered,

00:40:16striking a harsh,

00:40:17jaring chord

00:40:17that silenced the hall.

00:40:20What happened?

00:40:21She stopped.

00:40:23A blade!

00:40:24There's a blade

00:40:25wedged between the keys.

00:40:34It hurts, doesn't it?

00:40:39I found the blade

00:40:40Louisa hid

00:40:41between the piano keys,

00:40:43an execution

00:40:44aimed straight at my hands.

00:40:45What made her stop

00:40:46playing all of a sudden?

00:40:48Seriously,

00:40:48who hired this pianist?

00:40:50Is she deaf

00:40:51or just ignoring us?

00:40:52I pulled the blade free

00:40:53and began to play again.

00:40:54What is this melody?

00:40:55It's haunting.

00:40:57She should be crying

00:40:57in pain.

00:40:58Is she playing

00:40:59a mourning song

00:41:00on Louisa's birthday?

00:41:02Julian,

00:41:03why is everyone staring?

00:41:04They don't seem

00:41:05very pleased.

00:41:06Julian,

00:41:07it's my fault.

00:41:08I only meant

00:41:09to borrow her

00:41:10for a short while.

00:41:11Maybe she's upset.

00:41:12She's not even mad,

00:41:13right?

00:41:13She's playing perfectly fine.

00:41:15Please,

00:41:15just let it go.

00:41:16I should have

00:41:17thought things through.

00:41:18Ella Wayne,

00:41:18bring her here.

00:41:21When the last note faded,

00:41:23I didn't wait

00:41:24to be summoned.

00:41:25I snatched a silver fork

00:41:26from a table

00:41:27and walked straight

00:41:28for her.

00:41:31My brother wants

00:41:32to talk to you.

00:41:35Julian,

00:41:35stop her!

00:41:36She's coming for me!

00:41:39That's enough.

00:41:41I sidestepped him

00:41:42and lunged for Louisa.

00:41:44He moved to block me,

00:41:45catching my wrist

00:41:46just as he ripped

00:41:46my mask away.

00:41:50Catherine?

00:41:51Are you out

00:41:52of your damn mind?

00:41:53Let go.

00:41:55She tried to stab me,

00:41:56Julian!

00:41:56She's insane!

00:41:58My grip-ripped tightened.

00:42:00You will answer to me!

00:42:03No.

00:42:04She will.

00:42:07I sent Louisa

00:42:08crashing to the floor

00:42:09with one swift kick.

00:42:11What the hell

00:42:12is wrong with you?

00:42:13You crazy bitch!

00:42:15Enough!

00:42:17He seized my wrist

00:42:18and jerked me backward,

00:42:20shoving me toward Louisa.

00:42:22Say you're sorry.

00:42:24Let me go.

00:42:26You're going to apologize.

00:42:29Right now.

00:42:30If you want to play judge,

00:42:31call the cops.

00:42:32You don't get to command me.

00:42:34Julian!

00:42:35This is a public event.

00:42:37Let it go.

00:42:38Ernest.

00:42:40Take Louisa

00:42:41to the hospital.

00:42:43Julian.

00:42:44He dragged me out

00:42:45of the hotel,

00:42:46his grip like iron.

00:42:53Why did you go

00:42:53after Louisa?

00:42:55Let me go.

00:42:57Answer me.

00:42:58What do you want me

00:42:59to 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

00:43:06how ridiculous you sound?

00:43:09I knew you'd say that.

00:43:10You always rush

00:43:11to her defense.

00:43:12Starting now,

00:43:14you don't mean

00:43:15anything to me.

00:43:21Julian,

00:43:22come with me.

00:43:23Louisa needs you

00:43:23at the hospital.

00:43:30The banquet scene

00:43:31was in chaos.

00:43:32I walked tall,

00:43:33unable to hide

00:43:34the turmoil inside me.

00:43:35Trail her.

00:43:36Make sure she gets

00:43:37back safely.

00:43:38Yes, sir.

00:43:43What's going on

00:43:44with Louisa?

00:43:45You're going to

00:43:46check on her?

00:43:46One more won't

00:43:47make a difference.

00:43:48She might refuse

00:43:49the driver you sent.

00:43:50Should I take her?

00:43:51Your own sister is hurt

00:43:52and you're worried

00:43:53about her instead?

00:43:54Just a joke.

00:43:55I know my limits.

00:43:56The dried blood

00:43:57catching the light.

00:43:58Wait,

00:43:58is this blood?

00:44:00Get this treated

00:44:01at the hospital.

00:44:05She humiliated me

00:44:07and Julian

00:44:07just stood by

00:44:08and watched?

00:44:10You'd better be honest

00:44:12about what you did

00:44:12to Catherine.

00:44:14It's just a minor injury.

00:44:16He won't care.

00:44:20Sir,

00:44:21Madam hasn't returned

00:44:22home yet.

00:44:25Don't mention her again.

00:44:27She was so full of joy

00:44:28this morning,

00:44:29saying she wanted

00:44:29to celebrate with you.

00:44:33I'm sorry for getting

00:44:34you mixed up in this.

00:44:35I just lost control

00:44:37for a moment.

00:44:38You're too soft.

00:44:40If it had been me,

00:44:41I would have killed her.

00:44:44I later learned

00:44:45that Lila insisted

00:44:46on talking to Julian.

00:44:47We don't even know

00:44:48Julian Nash.

00:44:49Why on earth

00:44:50would he care

00:44:50what we have to say?

00:44:51Lila was annoyed

00:44:52by Louisa's

00:44:53overstepping

00:44:53at her party.

00:44:54Whether he listens

00:44:55or not doesn't matter.

00:44:57I just want

00:44:58to get some justice.

00:44:59Julian agreed

00:45:00to the meeting easily,

00:45:01but his mood

00:45:02was unusually bad

00:45:03that day.

00:45:06That night

00:45:06involved Miss Wright

00:45:07and Mrs. Nash.

00:45:08It would reflect

00:45:09poorly on us.

00:45:10What does that have

00:45:10to do with me?

00:45:11But Miss Wright,

00:45:12she's...

00:45:13There's nothing

00:45:13between us.

00:45:14There is nothing

00:45:14between us.

00:45:15What are you standing

00:45:16there for?

00:45:17Got nothing better

00:45:18to do?

00:45:18Get out!

00:45:19Was your hand badly hurt?

00:45:20The stitches are out already.

00:45:22I'm fine.

00:45:23Why is Louisa

00:45:24targeting you?

00:45:25Does Julian have

00:45:25a crush on you?

00:45:28It's not that dramatic.

00:45:29On the day of their meeting,

00:45:30it rained heavily.

00:45:32What gives you and Louisa

00:45:33the right to bully Catherine?

00:45:37A victim who attacks

00:45:38people with a fork

00:45:39and knocks someone

00:45:40flying with one kick?

00:45:42How very novel.

00:45:43Why don't you ask

00:45:44what Louisa did first?

00:45:49Catherine cut her finger

00:45:50on a blade

00:45:50hidden in the piano keys

00:45:52and required

00:45:52several stitches.

00:45:53The truth began

00:45:54to surface during the dinner

00:45:55between Julian and Lila.

00:45:56When did this happen?

00:45:57After you left,

00:45:58the razor blade

00:45:59was hidden inside

00:46:00the new sheet music.

00:46:01I handed the matter

00:46:02of last week's banquet

00:46:03over to the police.

00:46:05I have no idea

00:46:05what you're talking about.

00:46:06Police visit late at night.

00:46:08What trouble have you

00:46:09got yourself into this time?

00:46:10Leave me alone.

00:46:11Do whatever it takes

00:46:12to 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

00:46:20in three fields

00:46:20at the same time.

00:46:21Design, music, and translation.

00:46:22Her annual income

00:46:23is quite significant

00:46:24as she earns between

00:46:24$50,000 and $200,000

00:46:26per performance.

00:46:27One more thing.

00:46:28The card you gave her

00:46:28was recently charged overseas

00:46:29for over $3 million.

00:46:30What did she buy?

00:46:31A McLaren.

00:46:32Call Catherine and tell her

00:46:33to come back.

00:46:34The madam might be busy.

00:46:36Would you like to call

00:46:37her 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, it seems

00:46:44she has blocked you.

00:46:47I blocked him.

00:46:48He looked very angry.

00:46:52I loathed going back

00:46:53to that so-called home

00:46:55and unexpectedly ran into him.

00:46:57I just came back

00:46:58to get something.

00:46:59I'll leave right away.

00:47:00Catherine, let's talk.

00:47:03There's nothing to talk about.

00:47:07Louisa started it.

00:47:08You didn't explain it

00:47:09properly at all.

00:47:11So you've figured it

00:47:12all 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

00:47:19to say.

00:47:20Can't you just talk sense?

00:47:21I'm only talking to you

00:47:22the 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 Kacen brought the necklace

00:47:34he prepared for me,

00:47:35he gave it to Kacen in anger.

00:47:37It's yours now.

00:47:38Isn't this necklace for madam?

00:47:39It would be a waste

00:47:40to give it to her.

00:47:42Shall we head home,

00:47:43Mr. Julian?

00:47:45To the company.

00:47:49I ran into Ernest

00:47:50unexpectedly at the hospital

00:47:51and he apologized

00:47:52for Louisa's behavior

00:47:53at the party.

00:47:55Don't you lay a finger

00:47:56on Catherine?

00:47:58Julian, 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

00:48:05to 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

00:48:11with another man

00:48:11right outside the hospital?

00:48:13What exactly are you back for?

00:48:14For your dignity

00:48:15or for your eyesight?

00:48:16What are you scheming

00:48:17with the rights

00:48:17and why do you need

00:48:18Ernest personal business card?

00:48:19Is accepting a business card

00:48:21concums flirting?

00:48:22Am I to be suspected

00:48:23even for just talking

00:48:24to someone?

00:48:27Hello?

00:48:27I'm at the lounge.

00:48:29Could you send someone

00:48:30to pick me up?

00:48:30It's near the hotel.

00:48:32Stay right there.

00:48:33I'm on my way.

00:48:33One more round!

00:48:35Bring it on!

00:48:37Who are you?

00:48:40It's time to go back

00:48:41to the hotel.

00:48:42Are you with the hotel?

00:48:43No, but I've spoken

00:48:44with the front desk.

00:48:45Just come with me.

00:48:46Who exactly are you?

00:48:47Mr. A.

00:48:52What?

00:48:54What are you doing?

00:48:55You are Julian Nash's wife,

00:48:57so I can't show my face.

00:48:59Don't mention him

00:49:00in front of me.

00:49:00He blindfolded me

00:49:02with his tie

00:49:02and held me.

00:49:03Nervous at first,

00:49:04I forced myself to relax.

00:49:05So nervous?

00:49:06Don't you like this?

00:49:08No.

00:49:09Not getting along

00:49:10with Julian Nash?

00:49:11Don't mention him again.

00:49:13In the car,

00:49:14he asked about Julian again,

00:49:16and I didn't want

00:49:17to talk about it.

00:49:17Later,

00:49:18in the dark hotel room,

00:49:20he suddenly kissed me,

00:49:21and I couldn't resist at all.

00:49:24Out of breath already?

00:49:26Not used to kissing?

00:49:29Don't.

00:49:30We shouldn't be this intimate.

00:49:32Really?

00:49:33Then what exactly

00:49:34are we to each other?

00:49:35Pretending to be

00:49:36Mr. A to cheat on myself?

00:49:37That's completely crazy.

00:49:45What happened last night?

00:49:49Waking up,

00:49:50everything felt like a dream,

00:49:52but my body remembers

00:49:54every moment.

00:49:59One month,

00:50:00he thinks I can be bought.

00:50:04Let me introduce

00:50:05Mr. Nash,

00:50:07CEO of Nash Group.

00:50:10We've never met.

00:50:13A pleasure,

00:50:14Mr. Nash.

00:50:15In that moment,

00:50:17time stood still.

00:50:18It was him.

00:50:19Mr. A,

00:50:20we had to pretend

00:50:20we'd never met.

00:50:22This city is full of women

00:50:24like you,

00:50:24Miss Clark.

00:50:26Professional,

00:50:27elegant,

00:50:29and available

00:50:30for the right price.

00:50:32The contract terms

00:50:33are standard,

00:50:34Mr. Nash.

00:50:35Every word

00:50:36was a dagger

00:50:36from last night.

00:50:37I had to stay calm.

00:50:39Couldn't let him

00:50:40see me waver.

00:50:41Have dinner with me.

00:50:43I don't think

00:50:43that's appropriate.

00:50:46You already spent

00:50:47last night

00:50:47with your husband.

00:50:49One dinner,

00:50:50that's all I'm asking.

00:50:58Tonight,

00:50:59everything is under control.

00:51:03She thinks

00:51:04she's the hunter.

00:51:05Little does she know,

00:51:07the prey

00:51:07has its eyes on her.

00:51:09Well, well.

00:51:10Look who decided

00:51:11to show up.

00:51:13Words are the finest

00:51:14weapons,

00:51:15and I never miss

00:51:16my mark.

00:51:18Julian mentioned

00:51:19you'd be difficult.

00:51:21I can see why

00:51:21he prefers my company.

00:51:23Does he?

00:51:24Or is it that

00:51:25you're simply available?

00:51:26You think you're so clever?

00:51:27No, Louisa,

00:51:28I don't think.

00:51:29I know.

00:51:30And that's the difference

00:51:31between us.

00:51:32I'm his wife.

00:51:33You're just a

00:51:34distraction.

00:51:40I thought the battlefield

00:51:41was settled.

00:51:42I was wrong.

00:51:43The real fight

00:51:44was just beginning.

00:51:49Did you enjoy

00:51:49your little game?

00:51:51His kiss

00:51:51wasn't love.

00:51:52It was a mark,

00:51:53a possession,

00:51:54a vengeance.

00:51:57You're mine,

00:51:58Catherine.

00:51:59Never forget that.

00:52:03A thinks he's won,

00:52:04but he doesn't know

00:52:05my counterattack

00:52:06has just begun.

00:52:07Remember your place,

00:52:08darling.

00:52:14This is an additional card.

00:52:15It's capped at

00:52:16$10 million a month.

00:52:17You should have been

00:52:17using it all along.

00:52:18There's no need to hold

00:52:19back on Mike.

00:52:19I don't need it.

00:52:20Three years beside me

00:52:21and not a dime touched.

00:52:22What?

00:52:22When we part ways,

00:52:23are you planning to tell

00:52:23people I was cold and stingy?

00:52:24Not everyone thinks

00:52:25badly of others.

00:52:26You never really know

00:52:26someone's nature.

00:52:27I'd rather not leave

00:52:28behind any loose ends.

00:52:28Don't want it?

00:52:29Trash it.

00:52:29Just remember,

00:52:30bank cards go in

00:52:31recycling bin.

00:52:32You've avoided home

00:52:32for nearly a month.

00:52:34Want to return willingly,

00:52:35or should my dad

00:52:35come fetch you himself?

00:52:36Your call.

00:52:38His threat weighs

00:52:39like a stone on my heart.

00:52:44You don't like it?

00:52:46This is all for appearances.

00:52:48Why go to all that trouble?

00:52:49It's not for show.

00:52:50I picked it out for you.

00:52:52Is your office

00:52:52running late tonight?

00:52:54Nash Group doesn't

00:52:54believe in overtime.

00:52:56Right.

00:52:57His message isn't

00:52:58from 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

00:53:09is a hollow gesture.

00:53:10I'd prefer something simpler.

00:53:12Absolutely not.

00:53:13You give me a grand grand sub,

00:53:14Julian,

00:53:14and I'll never meddle

00:53:15in your personal matters again.

00:53:16You made the exact same promise

00:53:18when you forced me

00:53:18into marriage.

00:53:19Did you really think

00:53:19I'd fall for it twice?

00:53:21His silence is a volcano

00:53:22about to erupt.

00:53:24I don't want her around.

00:53:26What's your problem?

00:53:27Was it necessary

00:53:28to screech a chair

00:53:29across 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

00:53:38you're acting.

00:53:39All right,

00:53:40enough of this.

00:53:40You're an adult now.

00:53:41You can't crumble

00:53:42over every little thing.

00:53:43Camille,

00:53:43is that what

00:53:44Elish told you?

00:53:44Because I remember

00:53:45it very differently.

00:53:46Elish,

00:53:46you practically stole

00:53:47that card from me

00:53:47insisting I wasn't

00:53:48worthy of Julian

00:53:49or the Nash family's

00:53:50resources.

00:53:50What are you saying?

00:53:51You never asked.

00:53:52I never asked?

00:53:53That card carried

00:53:54six million a year.

00:53:55You took it

00:53:55without saying a word?

00:53:57You did,

00:53:58but I thought...

00:53:59Six million a year,

00:54:00not even twenty over three.

00:54:01If Catherine wants it back,

00:54:03I'll wire it to her.

00:54:03If paying back stolen funds

00:54:05solved everything,

00:54:05there'd be no need

00:54:06for 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,

00:54:25it's getting late.

00:54:26You and Julia

00:54:26should spend the night here

00:54:27and join me

00:54:28for breakfast tomorrow.

00:54:31All right,

00:54:32Lawrence.

00:54:33Come,

00:54:33Eloise.

00:54:34Let's go upstairs.

00:54:37Next time something happens,

00:54:38come to me directly.

00:54:39Don't stir up trouble

00:54:40that can be avoided.

00:54:42Hmm.

00:54:45Pick a room for the night.

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

00:54:58and his father

00:54:58was thick enough

00:54:59to choke on.

00:55:00What happened in that room?

00:55:02He stood in the shadows.

00:55:03When I was nice

00:55:04to Camille tonight,

00:55:05it wasn't because I meant it.

00:55:07I just wanted to get

00:55:08under Alisha's skin.

00:55:09Why are you justifying

00:55:10yourself to me?

00:55:12If they don't have it

00:55:13in this city,

00:55:13go find it in another one.

00:55:15Do I have to spell

00:55:16everything out for you?

00:55:17They're hard to get,

00:55:18actually.

00:55:19They're custom-made.

00:55:20Alba Custom Fragrances.

00:55:24Julian,

00:55:25there's no extra blanket here.

00:55:27If you're that cold,

00:55:29come share it.

00:55:30The bed had only one blanket,

00:55:31and Julian was already

00:55:32lying there,

00:55:33expecting me to share it.

00:55:34Frustrated,

00:55:35I kicked the bed.

00:55:35A mistake.

00:55:36Instant toe pain.

00:55:38Catherine,

00:55:39remind me.

00:55:40How old are you again?

00:55:47Mr. Nash said to make sure

00:55:48you both drink it.

00:55:49I have to report back

00:55:50once it's done.

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

00:56:07into my mouth

00:56:07through a kiss.

00:56:12After changing

00:56:12into our pajamas,

00:56:13I slammed my foot down

00:56:15on his with a fury

00:56:16that made the floorboards

00:56:17rattle.

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,

00:56:27restrained sounds.

00:56:28My mind lit up

00:56:29with images

00:56:30I shouldn't be thinking about.

00:56:32I woke up

00:56:33to find myself collapsed

00:56:34right on top of him.

00:56:35Worse,

00:56:36my hand had connected

00:56:37with his face

00:56:37and then his most

00:56:38sensitive area.

00:56:40I didn't mean to.

00:56:41I'm really sorry.

00:56:42When I sleep,

00:56:43I clutch onto a pillow.

00:56:44I guess I thought

00:56:45you were one.

00:56:46He claimed the bed

00:56:47was too flimsy

00:56:47for intimacy.

00:56:48I blushed

00:56:49in utter mortification.

00:56:50Didn't get much sleep,

00:56:51did you?

00:56:52What's going on with you?

00:56:53The bed in my room

00:56:54is too flimsy

00:56:54for certain activities.

00:56:56We moved to the balcony.

00:56:57Guess the cold wind

00:56:57got me sick.

00:57:02Inside the car,

00:57:03Julian coldly asked me

00:57:04why I was so kind

00:57:05to his father.

00:57:06He said he did,

00:57:07then told him the truth.

00:57:08What did my dad give you

00:57:10to make you treat him

00:57:10so kindly?

00:57:12When debt collectors came

00:57:14and forced me

00:57:14to sell myself,

00:57:16it was your father

00:57:17who stepped in.

00:57:18He gave me the money

00:57:20to fix everything.

00:57:21He checked the sum

00:57:22his father had given me.

00:57:23Eight hundred thousand.

00:57:24His expression

00:57:25was unreadable.

00:57:26Only eight hundred thousand?

00:57:33Oh, absolutely.

00:57:34Mr. Nash is wonderful

00:57:35to work with.

00:57:36We've even become friends

00:57:37over the course

00:57:37of our collaboration.

00:57:38Since you two

00:57:39are friends now,

00:57:40Mr. Dupont,

00:57:41there's something

00:57:41I think you should know.

00:57:42Your temporary interpreter,

00:57:43Miss Clark,

00:57:44she doesn't even hold

00:57:45a real translation certification.

00:57:47Is that really the case?

00:57:48I'd be more than happy

00:57:49to help you arrange that,

00:57:50free of charge.

00:57:52One more thing,

00:57:52Miss Wright.

00:57:53It's never a good idea

00:57:54to badmoth people

00:57:55when they're not around.

00:57:59Julian,

00:58:00I hate to bother you,

00:58:01but Elise has been

00:58:01really upset lately.

00:58:03She keeps coming to me

00:58:03in tears,

00:58:04and I can't just stand by,

00:58:05so I had to come

00:58:05come talk to you about it.

00:58:08Let her cry all she wants.

00:58:09Don't give her

00:58:10a single cent.

00:58:11Understood?

00:58:11Mr. Nash,

00:58:12it seems you're lucky

00:58:13to have Miss Wright's

00:58:14expert hands.

00:58:15Sounds like he's envious.

00:58:16Why don't you give him

00:58:17one later?

00:58:17I wouldn't even think of it.

00:58:22In that moment,

00:58:24I saw the challenge

00:58:24in her eyes

00:58:25and the evasion in his.

00:58:27We were husband and wife,

00:58:28yet we stared at each other

00:58:29like strangers.

00:58:30This game was just beginning.

00:58:32How about nine?

00:58:34Sorry,

00:58:35I'm unavailable tonight.

00:58:35You invited me last time,

00:58:37but I showed up at the hotel

00:58:38and never saw you.

00:58:39I had something urgent come up.

00:58:40I explained afterward.

00:58:42I didn't see your message.

00:58:44Okay.

00:58:46Julian,

00:58:47what's caught your eye?

00:58:49Something R-80.

00:58:55What hotel are we heading to?

00:58:58Riverpoint Hotel.

00:58:59That's a pretty low-tier pick.

00:59:03Doesn't look like

00:59:04he's investing much in you.

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.

00:59:33Just for a moment,

00:59:35you sounded exactly like

00:59:37my jerk husband.

00:59:38Still haunted by him, huh?

00:59:41Hmm.

00:59:52Again,

00:59:52every time I wake up,

00:59:54he's gone.

00:59:55I bit him.

00:59:56If he's Julian,

00:59:57there should be marks.

00:59:58I have to know.

01:00:05You actually seem more energized

01:00:06the more you work.

01:00:08I had a little too much last night.

01:00:10Got all this energy to burn.

01:00:12Nested that, too.

01:00:13Gotta let it out somehow.

01:00:15Oh, no.

01:00:16I'm so sorry.

01:00:17I didn't mean to.

01:00:18Good thing I brought you a new shirt.

01:00:20Go change quickly.

01:00:24Your shirt is $6.99.

01:00:26You owe me that much.

01:00:28Catherine said Julian owed her for the shirt.

01:00:30He gave her $80,000 without a glance.

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

01:00:44into her arms and left.

01:00:46Under the pillow,

01:00:48he found their marriage certificate.

01:00:49His name was blacked out

01:00:51with angry marker strokes.

01:00:52The corners were frayed.

01:00:53She'd held it too many times.

01:00:55What are you filming?

01:00:55Mr. Nash,

01:00:56I just think it's so nice

01:00:57to have the madam back.

01:00:58I saw you holding your wife.

01:00:59It was so sweet,

01:01:00I couldn't help myself.

01:01:01He finally came to his senses.

01:01:03Looks like my efforts weren't in vain.

01:01:05Can I post this on social media?

01:01:09That's for Julian.

01:01:10Can you not eat it all?

01:01:11Don't push your luck.

01:01:12He throws away everything you give him

01:01:13without even looking at it.

01:01:14What exactly are you trying to say?

01:01:17Are you still going to send it?

01:01:18What role do you think

01:01:19you play in their story?

01:01:23You've got some nerve

01:01:24cheating on someone

01:01:25who belongs to Lila.

01:01:26You just said you'd do anything, right?

01:01:28Mm-hmm.

01:01:29Because right now, LS,

01:01:31I have an idea.

01:01:36I've thought of a way

01:01:37to finally get back at her.

01:01:40I'm listening.

01:01:43Okay.

01:01:46See that?

01:01:47Perfect ammunition.

01:01:49Recording.

01:01:50Got it.

01:01:51You're brilliant!

01:01:52One video takes down both of them!

01:01:54As long as you're pleased.

01:01:55Just don't go too far.

01:02:00Insurance.

01:02:01For later.

01:02:02I don't want to leave you, Pearson.

01:02:03Pearson, when will I see you again?

01:02:05Lila's going on a trip next week.

01:02:07Then I'm all yours, babe.

01:02:08Pearson looked quite pleased with himself.

01:02:10But as soon as her car drove away,

01:02:12he turned around and froze.

01:02:14Bold of you,

01:02:15carrying on in public like this.

01:02:16What?

01:02:17What do you want?

01:02:20Something feels off.

01:02:21Mr. Nash must really adore you.

01:02:23These are all top tier.

01:02:24Since when does Julian

01:02:25buy me gifts like this?

01:02:28Who else do you think

01:02:28I bought them for?

01:02:29Louisa Wright, of course.

01:02:31Those dresses were made

01:02:31for flat chests.

01:02:33She wouldn't fit

01:02:33even if she tried.

01:02:35Up for it?

01:02:36I want to see your face.

01:02:39Knowing too much

01:02:40could be dangerous.

01:02:41The food's for you.

01:02:42Go ahead.

01:02:43Thanks.

01:02:43I'll wait.

01:02:44Let's eat together.

01:02:45I've already eaten.

01:02:46You remind me of my husband.

01:02:49Then why not just

01:02:49turn on the light

01:02:50and take a look?

01:02:51I think it's better

01:02:52if we stick to the rules.

01:02:54Why do you love him so much?

01:02:56You talk too much.

01:02:58You're sensitive everywhere, huh?

01:03:02He's allergic to cream

01:03:04but this man doesn't care.

01:03:06You...

01:03:07Are you planning to eat

01:03:08all of it with your mouth?

01:03:09Of course.

01:03:11Then...

01:03:11maybe don't eat too much.

01:03:15Cream's not poison.

01:03:17Why shouldn't I have more?

01:03:18I just can't.

01:03:19I just can't.

01:03:23It's okay.

01:03:24Let it all out.

01:03:26His arms comforted me

01:03:27but could not heal my heart.

01:03:28I want to stop loving him.

01:03:31Late at night,

01:03:32his call broke the silence.

01:03:34Oh!

01:03:35My heart skipped a beat.

01:03:40Hello?

01:03:41Pyerson?

01:03:42At this hour?

01:03:43What is it?

01:03:44Catherine,

01:03:45I have a favor to ask.

01:03:46Can you design a dress for Lila?

01:03:47It's a surprise.

01:03:50Smells good.

01:03:51You're a great cook.

01:03:52Thanks.

01:03:54I hope you like it.

01:03:55Standing at his door,

01:03:57I knew it was dangerous

01:03:57yet I couldn't stay away.

01:04:00Miss Clark,

01:04:01you're even more stunning in person

01:04:03than in the photos.

01:04:04If you're feeling warm,

01:04:05don't hesitate to take off your coat.

01:04:06I...

01:04:07I need to see Lila about the dress.

01:04:11Care to explain what's going on?

01:04:13You really think sitting alone

01:04:15with me in the living room

01:04:16counts as a threat?

01:04:18All right, all right.

01:04:19Cautious girls are all the rage these days.

01:04:21I'll go grab her.

01:04:22That would be appreciated.

01:04:26Catherine!

01:04:26Why were you standing out here?

01:04:28It's freezing.

01:04:29Look at these.

01:04:30They'd look perfect on you.

01:04:32Thank you, Lila.

01:04:33They're beautiful.

01:04:34Do you mind giving us some space?

01:04:35This is girl time.

01:04:36Why are you even still here?

01:04:37Fine, fine.

01:04:38I'll leave you two to your...

01:04:39girl time.

01:04:41So, Catherine,

01:04:42what brings you over today?

01:04:43Really?

01:04:43I just...

01:04:44needed to see a friend.

01:04:45But I couldn't stay.

01:04:46Every second in that house

01:04:48felt like suffocation.

01:04:49I needed to escape.

01:04:50Just curious, Miss Clark.

01:04:51Does the surprise I planned for Lila

01:04:53make you feel any pressure?

01:04:54Did I somehow offend you?

01:04:55If something at the last party

01:04:56rubbed you the wrong way,

01:04:57just come out with it.

01:04:57I'll fix it if I can.

01:04:58I mean, you're doing this to a spot

01:04:58the time and then she'll Lila on

01:04:59like she means nothing.

01:05:00Now, what exactly are you getting at?

01:05:01You said you'd make it up to me.

01:05:03In what way?

01:05:03I snapped and pushed him hard.

01:05:05The sound of him hitting the wall

01:05:06felt real and satisfying.

01:05:08You really couldn't wait

01:05:09until tonight, huh, babe?

01:05:10Tell me,

01:05:10when have we ever used this brand?

01:05:12Oh, that?

01:05:12Just a new brand I grabbed.

01:05:13Figured we could mix things up,

01:05:14but looks like you beat me to it.

01:05:15Funny.

01:05:16You took your sweet time

01:05:17walking Catherine out.

01:05:17What held you up?

01:05:18I know you look up

01:05:18to Catherine's talent, Lila.

01:05:19Maybe it's best you keep

01:05:20a bit of space from her.

01:05:21Lila wasn't blind.

01:05:22She was seeing through the lies.

01:05:23That small piece of evidence

01:05:24would crack everything apart.

01:05:26If something's wrong,

01:05:27you can lean on me.

01:05:30I'm fine.

01:05:32Nothing happened.

01:05:37Why are her hands so red?

01:05:39What did she touch?

01:05:40Pearson?

01:05:40She knows it's a trap,

01:05:42yet she goes.

01:05:43You're going to want to hear this.

01:05:44Get to the point.

01:05:45I dropped by the club

01:05:45where Pearson Hammond used to work.

01:05:47Guess who I ran into?

01:05:47Mrs. Nash.

01:05:48What the hell was she doing there?

01:05:49She booked a few

01:05:50of their top-est orders

01:05:51and reserved the VIP suite.

01:05:52Quite the experience.

01:05:53Give me your measurements.

01:05:56Five inches.

01:05:57Five inched?

01:05:58Six and a half.

01:06:00Four inches.

01:06:01Four and a half.

01:06:02You.

01:06:03Name your price.

01:06:04Five thousand deposit.

01:06:06Balance on completion.

01:06:07Full payment upon satisfaction.

01:06:10Deal.

01:06:11Bates' wheel stops at my feet.

01:06:16Mrs. Nash.

01:06:17Fancy meeting you.

01:06:18Need a ride?

01:06:19No, thanks.

01:06:20Are you sure?

01:06:22His presence cuts like ice.

01:06:24If he can't change your mind,

01:06:25what about me?

01:06:27How did you track me down?

01:06:29Get in the car.

01:06:31Didn't take you for someone

01:06:32with such stamina.

01:06:33Four men in one night?

01:06:34Are you spying on me?

01:06:35Are you cheating on me?

01:06:36The wrong idea.

01:06:37Mr. Nash and I just wrapped up

01:06:38a meeting nearby.

01:06:39Total coincidence running into you.

01:06:40Impressive.

01:06:41The Nash family really is expanding

01:06:42into every imaginable sector,

01:06:44isn't it?

01:06:44Good.

01:06:45You asked for this.

01:06:47Some truths hide in silence.

01:06:52The rules were set by you.

01:06:55That's right.

01:06:56Just closed the deal.

01:06:57I own it now.

01:06:59You?

01:07:00Bought that nightclub?

01:07:01Why would you do that?

01:07:02I got bored.

01:07:03Decided to expand into something new.

01:07:05No big deal.

01:07:06We agreed to keep our personal lives separate.

01:07:08Did I stop you?

01:07:09He always makes it sound so reasonable.

01:07:14Relax.

01:07:15I'll delete the video.

01:07:17How thoughtful of you.

01:07:20You're welcome.

01:07:21And if your dad asks where I am?

01:07:24I'll tell him the truth.

01:07:25Booking four male escorts.

01:07:27I wasn't hiring them for myself.

01:07:30Then explain that to my dad.

01:07:35Okay.

01:07:36We'll go there.

01:07:37You could have at least asked me first.

01:07:39Then don't come.

01:07:40I'll go alone.

01:07:43I'll go alone.

01:07:46Tough day at work, sweetheart.

01:07:48She's just tired.

01:07:49From the bedroom gymnastics.

01:07:51I nearly choked on my own breath.

01:07:53Dad.

01:07:54Heard of the nightclub?

01:07:55On Hillside Road?

01:07:58The Gigalos were too noisy.

01:08:00You don't need to tell me about every little business purchase.

01:08:03That rare winter storm seemed to me.

01:08:06Thunder jolted me away.

01:08:08And I instinctively reached for comfort.

01:08:10I realized that no matter how much he torments me, I still depend on him.

01:08:14It's our curse.

01:08:14What's wrong?

01:08:15And also our salvation.

01:08:19It's only thunder.

01:08:22Why are you leaving?

01:08:24I won't leave.

01:08:30Sorry.

01:08:31I had a nightmare.

01:08:33The thunder scared me and I lost my senses for a bit.

01:08:37And then what?

01:08:38Pretend none of it happened?

01:08:40I don't know.

01:08:45The housekeeper said you've been practicing piano at a studio.

01:08:49Yeah.

01:08:49Then stay home and play a few pieces for me today.

01:08:52But there's no piano at home.

01:08:55I'll have one sent over now.

01:08:56Is piano business really on standby all night?

01:08:58It's dawn and everyone should be asleep.

01:09:01Yet you made one call and this arrived like magic.

01:09:03VIPs don't just get round-the-clock service.

01:09:05They're treated like royalty.

01:09:06They call to ask about our schedules.

01:09:08So are you impressed by my wealth or annoyed I ruined someone's sleep?

01:09:11Both.

01:09:11So you pay to practice at a piano studio?

01:09:13I do.

01:09:14Lila claims you're nearly a master, but you're still in training?

01:09:16I'm still a beginner.

01:09:17Others are way ahead, like standing on top of a skyscraper while I'm still climbing floor by floor.

01:09:21Do you like it?

01:09:21I do.

01:09:22Then stop going to piano studio to practice.

01:09:23From now on, do it here.

01:09:25I'll arrange a tutor.

01:09:29I'm done practicing.

01:09:31Have you finished work?

01:09:32There's always something else that needs handling.

01:09:34You've changed lately.

01:09:36You're being unusually kind.

01:09:38What's going on?

01:09:41I thought it was just a simple light.

01:09:47Want to give it a shot?

01:09:53Easy now.

01:09:55You're supposed to take a puff, not swallow it whole.

01:10:00I didn't expect him to kiss me.

01:10:02And I didn't expect this kiss to make me forget to breathe.

01:10:06Breakfast is ready?

01:10:08Oh my.

01:10:10It's not what it looks like.

01:10:18Maybe our turn's coming sooner than you think.

01:10:27I tried not to think about him, but that kiss, that touch, still lingers on my lips.

01:10:37Julian handled my father, protected me, paid me well.

01:10:40Have you ever chased after someone before?

01:10:42Back in high school, I had a thing for this popular guy.

01:10:45Chased him around for a bit, but once he turned me down, I lost interest fast.

01:10:49What if someone you once liked suddenly came back, hiding behind a fake identity, and somehow you ended up in

01:10:54bed with him?

01:10:55How would you face him after that without feeling humiliated?

01:10:59Oh honey, you definitely to the right person.

01:11:01If that were me, I wouldn't say a thing.

01:11:04I'd keep up the act, and enjoy the sex, until I got bored with it.

01:11:13Finally found time in your busy schedule?

01:11:16Tried a new recipe.

01:11:18Want to taste it?

01:11:20Cream recalled Mr. A.

01:11:22Julian's allergy rules him out.

01:11:24What's with the sudden kindness?

01:11:26No drugs in it.

01:11:27You bought me that piano.

01:11:29Consider this a thank you.

01:11:32That wasn't real cream.

01:11:33No reason to take meds.

01:11:35Seriously?

01:11:36Why didn't you take any medicine?

01:11:37How did you know?

01:11:38Because you wouldn't risk it.

01:11:39You wouldn't use real cream.

01:11:41Not on me.

01:11:41You wouldn't let me suffer.

01:11:42Even if you're testing me, you couldn't bear it.

01:11:50Who said I was testing you?

01:11:53His name lit up the screen.

01:11:54My heart skipped a beat.

01:11:56The nightmare was far from over.

01:11:58Kathy!

01:11:58How's my surprise coming along?

01:12:00Let's talk over dinner.

01:12:02I'll swing by around 11.

01:12:04Yet I had to stay strong.

01:12:06Sure.

01:12:06Just send me the restaurant address.

01:12:08I'll meet you there.

01:12:10What I didn't know was, at this very moment, he was silently watching my every move.

01:12:16Sir, are you sure it's a good idea to let Mrs. Nash deal with that man on her own?

01:12:20She kicked me in the shin once so hard I limped for a week.

01:12:24Trust me.

01:12:25Dealing with a gigolo like Pearson Lewis is nothing she can't handle.

01:12:28Sir, Mrs. Nash is brilliant.

01:12:30When Pearson tried to hold her hand, she tore off the tablecloth.

01:12:33A candle nearly burned him.

01:12:34She pretended to panic, stomping it out while apologizing politely.

01:12:37That was the first time I saw such a genuine smile on him.

01:12:40But that smile pierced another woman's heart.

01:12:43In the late night hospital room, I held my brother's clean underwear, only to let him

01:12:47see what I'd hidden most.

01:12:48Why are you here?

01:12:49You're the one taking care of this?

01:12:51There's a caregiver for him, isn't there?

01:12:53She's off duty right now.

01:12:54I came by to visit and saw he'd wet himself, so I didn't want him catching a ch-

01:12:58Please, have a seat.

01:13:00They don't need to do that.

01:13:02That won't be necessary.

01:13:03I'm taking Catherine home.

01:13:04Yes, of course.

01:13:05Go on, Cathy.

01:13:07As I sat in Julian's car, my phone kept buzzing.

01:13:11Messages from my stepmother were always like this sweet yet stabbing, each one a reminder

01:13:16of how much I owed her.

01:13:17And him, his care was always like this, hidden beneath cold words.

01:13:22Thanks for coming to get me tonight.

01:13:24Didn't want you to reflect badly on me.

01:13:26Those marks, what are they from?

01:13:29Wild night, a woman left them there.

01:13:31Which woman?

01:13:34I thought I was playing him, but little did I know, I was the one walking into his track.

01:13:39Wait, I'm not ready.

01:13:41Let's talk.

01:13:54His strength far exceeded my imagination.

01:13:59Next time, I'll let you see my face.

01:14:04After it was over, he said something that completely threw me off.

01:14:08Meanwhile, an evil alliance plotted a greater betrayal.

01:14:12Screw this up, and I'll forward those photos to Lila.

01:14:14You're just a parasite.

01:14:16You've got cash.

01:14:17Maybe you should fund my lifestyle.

01:14:24Bring the dress to my studio.

01:14:25It's in a hotel.

01:14:28This time, I brought backup.

01:14:30Pearson, your nightmare has only just begun.

01:14:34He thought he'd won, but little did he know my backup had arrived.

01:14:37Perfect.

01:14:41And who might you be?

01:14:44I'm here for the dress fitting.

01:14:46Please, come in.

01:14:47While he was busy lost in lust, I was busy collecting every piece of evidence against him.

01:14:53Pearson, this game I won.

01:14:56Thought I was a helpless lamb?

01:14:58No, I'm a hunter in sheep's clothing.

01:15:01Pearson, your karma has arrived.

01:15:05That condescending smile showed me his true colors.

01:15:07He wanted to use my reputation to satisfy his twisted desires.

01:15:11I like you.

01:15:13I want to sleep with you.

01:15:14Clear enough?

01:15:15Hidden camera.

01:15:16Force me, film it, then spread it.

01:15:19Sharp.

01:15:20Scared to be seen as a slut.

01:15:21And what about Lila?

01:15:23Going to throw away your golden ticket for this?

01:15:26I'll say you drugged me.

01:15:27She's so in love with me, she'll believe whatever I say.

01:15:32I had just left the battlefield, but another hunter was already waiting.

01:15:35She thought she had dirt on me, but she didn't know she was walking into another trap.

01:15:39Caught you!

01:15:40Julian!

01:15:41Catherine's in bed with a man right now!

01:15:43Didn't learn your lesson?

01:15:44Want another?

01:15:47Yes.

01:15:47Take a look.

01:15:48Isn't this your wife?

01:15:51This photo doesn't feel right.

01:15:56Let's go check it out.

01:15:57Eloise followed me for a month, waiting for this moment she thought she had dirt on me,

01:16:01but walked right into my trap.

01:16:03Miss Grant!

01:16:03What are you doing here?

01:16:05Meeting my boyfriend.

01:16:06What about you?

01:16:06Catherine's with a man in this room.

01:16:08Who's staking you or us?

01:16:09Seems like your show.

01:16:10Go on, Mr. Nash.

01:16:12Ladies first.

01:16:12The door opened, and everyone saw the mess inside, yet truth often hides in the most

01:16:17unexpected places.

01:16:19Too intense.

01:16:20Julian, better not look.

01:16:21Still hiding?

01:16:22Let's see.

01:16:26I never would have thought that even Eloise, who is usually outspoken, was completely stunned

01:16:30by this sudden shock.

01:16:32And you are?

01:16:35Why should I explain myself?

01:16:36Did you ask before barging into my private space?

01:16:39Where's Catherine?

01:16:40What's going on?

01:16:40Catherine?

01:16:41Never heard the name.

01:16:43I can tell that this man has just finished a private meeting and is about to tidy his

01:16:46appearance.

01:16:47He immediately remembered that this person was a former colleague he had met at the nightclub,

01:16:50who had been a dancer, homosexual, and had even dressed as a woman.

01:16:54No!

01:16:55No!

01:16:56Leela!

01:16:57Wait!

01:16:57Darling, don't go!

01:16:58Call a doctor!

01:17:01Of course it's you.

01:17:02No one else but Eloise would go to such lengths.

01:17:08I captured something entertaining.

01:17:10Just editing the video now.

01:17:12What video, bitch?

01:17:13Give me the name of whoever set this up, and this video disappears.

01:17:18I'll tell you everything!

01:17:19Messing with you is the fun part.

01:17:21I already know who's behind it.

01:17:23Feeling that pounding in your chest, Eloise?

01:17:27Is that right?

01:17:28People who live off cheeks rarely get a happy ending.

01:17:34Who's good who?

01:17:37Your Christmas present is ready.

01:17:39Would you like it sent to your place tomorrow?

01:17:41Who made it?

01:17:42I did.

01:17:45Lena, it was always real between us.

01:17:48Catherine did this.

01:17:49She's obsessed.

01:17:53You weren't nearly this loud the last time we met.

01:17:56And now you're blaming your disgrace on Catherine?

01:18:01But you did cross Catherine.

01:18:06She belongs to you.

01:18:08She's mine.

01:18:11Julian's statement had barely settled.

01:18:13When Louisa's complexion turned ghostly, Lila'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, Eloise 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!

01:18:30Let me out right now!

01:18:32She thought of Lawrence's rage, screaming and kicking.

01:18:34The driver relayed Julian's orders, polite yet firm.

01:18:37He said if you refuse to cooperate.

01:18:39Once Pearson confesses everything, the police will happily give you your own self.

01:18:44The driver stayed calm, issuing a final warning.

01:18:47Fear surged through her veins as she realized someone must have ticked off.

01:18:51Outside, the city blurred her freedom, slipping away.

01:18:54Mr. 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.

01:19:01Ward the entrance of the manor.

01:19:02Her legs went weak, and she could barely stand.

01:19:04Julian, please.

01:19:06She glanced back, eyes despairing at her lost freedom.

01:19:09Eloise tried to flee, but the driver stopped her.

01:19:12The gate slammed shut, crushing her last hope.

01:19:18I'm her man.

01:19:20Did he really say that?

01:19:22You're staring like you're about to leap into my lap.

01:19:25When your sister burst in, trying to expose me, your reaction was just...

01:19:28Off?

01:19:29Why?

01:19:31I figured some of it out beforehand.

01:19:33Wait.

01:19:33How could you have possibly known?

01:19:36You really thought I bought that dump of a nightclub for my own entertainment?

01:19:39Feeling smug after shutting a lease down like that?

01:19:42Honestly?

01:19:43Yeah.

01:19:44Then come upstairs and cook something.

01:19:46We should toast your little victory.

01:19:48Come on.

01:19:48Just a bit more space.

01:19:50One last box.

01:19:51I promise.

01:19:53What the hell are you doing?

01:19:55I didn't do anything.

01:19:57Seems the blade found its seat.

01:20:00You've put in a lot of effort.

01:20:01Swing by my assistant's office before you head out.

01:20:03There's a bonus waiting for you.

01:20:04Honey, monsieur.

01:20:05I've fueled a dessert.

01:20:10It was too rich.

01:20:13Have you eaten yet, Casey?

01:20:15Do you want to turn my office into a cafe?

01:20:21What do you want?

01:20:22No.

01:20:23I only wanted to be sure Aline was okay.

01:20:25According to her, you were the one who came up with the plan to have Pierce and set Catherine up.

01:20:30Let me show you something.

01:20:32You'll see what really happened.

01:20:34You kept that recording, huh?

01:20:35Was it only meant for today or did you always intend to wield it against a leash?

01:20:39Julian, I swear I wasn't trying to hurt her.

01:20:41I only saved that recording to protect myself.

01:20:43It wasn't meant for-

01:20:44Cut the act.

01:20:44You and I both know exactly what games you're playing.

01:20:47Julian, I didn't mean I'm sorry.

01:20:49You can keep that apology.

01:20:51Give it to Elise.

01:21:04Mrs. Nash prepared it herself.

01:21:11Piano.

01:21:12Now.

01:21:19I never thought the sound of my terrible piano playing

01:21:22would be something he'd actually enjoy.

01:21:24But looking at him there, so relaxed in my chaos,

01:21:27I wondered what kind of person finds comfort in discord.

01:21:30Come to me.

01:21:32I have work to finish.

01:21:34If it's important, we'll talk later.

01:21:38Wrapped up your music, Mrs. Nash?

01:21:40Why not sit with Mr. Nash and have some fruit?

01:21:42Why would I care about him?

01:21:44Hold on.

01:21:46He requested for pineapple?

01:21:48Why would a man who can't stand anything sweet and sour suddenly ask for it?

01:21:51When Catherine returned, did she say anything?

01:21:58I'll see you inside.

01:22:04You think this is over?

01:22:06Don't kid yourself!

01:22:08As long as I'm around, you'll never have peace!

01:22:10You and Julian share the same father, but the gap between you two is staggering.

01:22:14You've been used as a tool, left to deal with the fallout, and you still don't see it.

01:22:20Elish, my brother's finally getting a break from work.

01:22:22He's been under so much pressure.

01:22:24I picked up a really nice bottle of wine.

01:22:26When you're feeling better, not bring it over and share a drink with him.

01:22:33Why do you smell like pineapple?

01:22:35Eating a lot of it makes things taste better.

01:22:37Taste better?

01:22:37What things?

01:22:38You'd regret asking.

01:22:39Poop sweet?

01:22:40Wait, oh my god, Julian, don't tell me you've actually tried po-

01:22:43Louisa dropped by the firm earlier.

01:22:45She was asking about Elena.

01:22:49Julian!

01:22:51His lips were soft against mine, and for a moment, just a moment, I forgot about everything else.

01:22:56But then reality crashed back.

01:22:59Wednesday night, be there, same location.

01:23:02That explanation he gave me, was it really an explanation?

01:23:05The hotel manager will be waiting for you in the lobby.

01:23:08She'll take you upstairs, I'll be up in half an hour.

01:23:23Mr. A asked me to give this to you.

01:23:25If you don't mind, I'll need to cover your eyes before I take you to the room.

01:23:29The soft fabric felt just like Mr. A's blindfold.

01:23:33Blindfolded already?

01:23:35Did Mr. Nash switch rooms this time?

01:23:37Yes.

01:23:38Uh, I mean, who's Mr. Nash?

01:23:51Mr. A?

01:24:14Fear overwhelmed me.

01:24:16As his lips touched my collarbone mole, I felt safe.

01:24:20So, do you know who I am now?

01:24:22Still don't get it?

01:24:23Still don't know who's making you feel like this?

01:24:25You jerk!

01:24:27Tell me, who's the monster to you?

01:24:29Mr. A or Julian Nash?

01:24:32Mr. A!

01:24:33Doesn't make a difference.

01:24:46There had been many nights like this.

01:24:50Waiting.

01:24:51No matter how sleepy or exhausted I was.

01:24:55Just for the chance to see him.

01:25:04Julian, wear your coat.

01:25:05You're freezing.

01:25:06Take care of yourself.

01:25:07It's nothing.

01:25:14Do you love her?

01:25:17I'm not into love stories.

01:25:19I've been doing lately, but I can't let her always suffer.

01:25:21Can I?

01:25:36So this was Mr. A's secret.

01:25:41Mr. Nash is back.

01:25:47Did you have anything to eat yet?

01:25:49Want some coffee?

01:25:51Sure.

01:25:52I didn't want to admit it, but my body remembered.

01:25:55I knew what I wanted, but I was afraid to admit it.

01:25:58He remembered, and I actually felt touched.

01:26:01Happy now?

01:26:02Let me see your neck.

01:26:04I know he hates oranges.

01:26:06Stick out your tongue.

01:26:10It's still daytime, and we're right by the door.

01:26:14The housekeeper hasn't even left yet.

01:26:16He pressed closer, and I had no choice but to surrender in broad daylight.

01:26:20She knows better.

01:26:21She's long gone by now.

01:26:25Okay.

01:26:30The moment his fingertips pressed against my neck, I knew I wouldn't escape unscathed.

01:26:35Good girl.

01:26:38I thought it would escalate, but he only kissed my chin, toying with my shame.

01:26:42Are you kidding me?

01:26:46Why do I have to close my eyes?

01:26:49Just playing around.

01:26:51He turned my shame into a game.

01:26:53Kiss me, then I'm out of here, and left me to pick up the pieces.

01:27:02Need a ride?

01:27:02How come he's here?

01:27:03Did he make a special trip to get me?

01:27:05Get in.

01:27:06I'll take you home.

01:27:13He said he needed to go in and buy something.

01:27:15I just waited in the car.

01:27:19He's back, with that box in his hand.

01:27:22Didn't you already grab some at the mall before?

01:27:24Didn't get enough.

01:27:27His hand over mine warm, safe, like a dream I never want to wake from.

01:27:32Why now?

01:27:33You don't even know how to play.

01:27:35Just to kill time.

01:27:37Just to kill time.

01:27:38He says lightly, but ripples stir in my heart.

01:27:40And the phone rang, interrupting everything.

01:27:43Mr. Nash, it's Louisa's assistant.

01:27:45Something terrible has happened.

01:27:47What's going on?

01:27:48The client made a move on Louisa.

01:27:49He locked her in.

01:27:50Please, Mr. Nash, you have to come quickly.

01:27:52Send me the location.

01:27:53He suddenly got a call, then rushed off.

01:27:56No explanation, no goodbye.

01:28:01Julian?

01:28:02Have your assistant call Ernest.

01:28:05I'm the one who caused this.

01:28:08How much more of a mess are you planning to make?

01:28:21This is it.

01:28:23He said to come pick him up.

01:28:28Cold wind howled outside, drowning out all noise.

01:28:31She knew I would come all along.

01:28:33I couldn't hear what Julian was saying, and honestly, I was relieved.

01:28:37Because if I had heard what he said, I wasn't sure I'd have had strength to stay on my feet.

01:28:41I shouldn't have come.

01:28:45Would you like to call her?

01:28:49Forget it.

01:28:50I should have known someone else had already taken my place.

01:28:54I should have known earlier.

01:28:56It was foolish of me to rush over like that.

01:28:58All because of one brief phone call.

01:29:05Please, pick up the phone.

01:29:11From the moment I saw Louisa and Julian together, I knew my heart was already in tears.

01:29:18Madam!

01:29:20I didn't want anything from him, not even concern.

01:29:31I have a high fever.

01:29:32I don't need you.

01:29:34Gathering my last strength, I shoved him away with both palms.

01:29:37Thanks for having me.

01:29:39Thanks for having me, and let's do big focus recently.
