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.

00:00:16I 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.

00:00:37I realized then that the business dinner was a trap.

00:00:40I 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.

00:01:09What 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.

00:01:17Don'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?

00:02:33Listen, don'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.

00:04:34But 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.

00:04:58People 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?

00:05:17To Austin?

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

00:05:24Mom, if you walk away from me, 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.

00:05:41He has signed the divorce agreement.

00:05:59Julian, calm down.

00:06:00You'll wear yourself out like this.

00:06:03Why 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, Miss Nash.

00:06:44The hotel footage had already been erased.

00:06:47Nothing was caught on camera.

00:06:48The 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.

00:08:49I don't know.

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,

00:09:19how much is your sister worth?

00:09:27The moment I saw the storm gathering in his eyes,

00:09:30I 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.

00:09:37For the first time,

00:09:39I wasn't afraid to show my teeth.

00:09:43If you're so innocent,

00:09:45let'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,

00:10:00my hope.

00:10:01The last shred of believing he might ever see me.

00:10:04Julian,

00:10:05I'm to blame.

00:10:07I didn't teach my daughter right.

00:10:09If you're upset,

00:10:10be upset with me.

00:10:12Come upstairs.

00:10:13My dad wants to see you.

00:10:15We're getting divorced.

00:10:16What's the point in pretending anymore?

00:10:18The divorce hasn't been finalized.

00:10:21Whether you really mean it or not,

00:10:23you'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

00:10:33about 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

00:10:40and spill everything.

00:10:41It was just one night, right?

00:10:44I got paid,

00:10:45had my fun,

00:10:46no big deal.

00:10:50Congratulations.

00:10:51After three years of abstinence,

00:10:53you finally got laid.

00:10:54He called that nightmare fun,

00:10:55then dragged me to see his father, Lawrence.

00:10:58Well,

00:10:58when are you giving me a grandchild?

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

00:11:03Dad,

00:11:04it's not something we can rush.

00:11:06Three years and still nothing?

00:11:07Julian,

00:11:08just be straight with me.

00:11:09Are you

00:11:09having trouble in that area?

00:11:12I'm 26.

00:11:13Do you seriously think

00:11:14that's a possibility?

00:11:17Kathy,

00:11:18is it true?

00:11:20After three years of his coldness,

00:11:22I saw my chance

00:11:23I saw my chance to strike back.

00:11:24Catherine,

00:11:25you'd better think

00:11:26before 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

00:11:36did this happen?

00:11:37You were so smart before.

00:11:39You really believe

00:11:40the nonsense

00:11:41that falls out of her mouth?

00:11:42Did you lose your sense?

00:11:43She's your wife.

00:11:44She sleeps beside you

00:11:46every night.

00:11:47If anyone knows your body,

00:11:49it's her.

00:11:52Don't stress,

00:11:53father.

00:11:53With how far medicine has come,

00:11:55there'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

00:12:01is a completely normal option now.

00:12:04My nonchalant smile

00:12:06sliced 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.

00:12:18Show 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

00:12:28in my arms

00:12:29before 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?

00:12:37Clean up this mess yourself.

00:12:40Fine.

00:12:41Casey,

00:12:42make me proud.

00:12:43I knew I was cornered

00:12:44no matter what I said,

00:12:45so I just nodded tightly

00:12:46to get through the moment.

00:12:48Lawrence looked relieved and tired,

00:12:50then went back to his room.

00:12:51You care that I've never touched you,

00:12:53don't you?

00:12:54There has been no intimacy

00:12:55between us since we got married,

00:12:56and 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 only started meek.

00:13:09Deleurin can't yance.

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

00:13:16at scheming than your mother.

00:13:18You really know how to use yourself

00:13:20to manipulate people.

00:13:21Who decides whether I can get pregnant or not

00:13:23if not you?

00:13:25When have I ever begged you

00:13:26to make me pregnant?

00:13:30Julian, leaving so soon?

00:13:32Elise is badly injured.

00:13:33I just got back from the hospital.

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

00:13:37Stay in the hospital and rest properly

00:13:39if 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

00:13:55to keep an eye on them.

00:13:56I must have a grandson.

00:13:58Understood.

00:14:00I never wanted this marriage

00:14:02to begin with.

00:14:07Lawrence, isn't it too much

00:14:08for us to meddle

00:14:09in such a private matter?

00:14:10I know this isn't exactly above board,

00:14:13but that boy left me no choice.

00:14:15Do as I say.

00:14:17The sooner we settle this,

00:14:18the better.

00:14:19Mom, if that scheming bitch

00:14:21gets pregnant with Julian's child,

00:14:22what will happen to Louisa?

00:14:24She's the one

00:14:24who should marry my brother.

00:14:25You're just using her

00:14:26as an excuse

00:14:27to get close to her brother.

00:14:28Marrying into the right family

00:14:29will benefit you too.

00:14:31Don't worry.

00:14:32Everything is under my control.

00:14:34I never expected my divorce

00:14:35to become so complicated.

00:14:37Ever since I moved

00:14:38into Nash Manor,

00:14:39Austin's health

00:14:40has been deteriorating

00:14:41day by day.

00:14:42I was preparing

00:14:42a nutritious meal for Lawrence

00:14:44when Camille walked in.

00:14:45Mr. Nash is truly fortunate

00:14:47to have a thoughtful wife like you.

00:14:49The elder Mr. Nash

00:14:51said everything is fine.

00:14:52You just need to spend more time

00:14:54building a bond

00:14:55with Mr. Nash.

00:14:56She's a spy Lawrence

00:14:57sent to keep an eye on me.

00:14:58We haven't had a meal together

00:15:00since signing the divorce papers.

00:15:02Just as I was about

00:15:02to make up an excuse,

00:15:04Julian arrived.

00:15:05This is for Lawrence.

00:15:06If you're hungry,

00:15:07ask the nanny

00:15:08to make something for you.

00:15:09Catherine.

00:15:10Do you want some soup?

00:15:11Without waiting for his reply,

00:15:13I poured the soup

00:15:14down the drain.

00:15:15All right.

00:15:16There's nothing left now.

00:15:17Julian looked angry

00:15:18but said nothing.

00:15:19I felt as if I were

00:15:20locked in a cage.

00:15:21I didn't sleep that night

00:15:22and quietly went to the study

00:15:23to 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

00:15:33for someone else.

00:15:34I'm willing to step aside.

00:15:38So if my dad gets too worked up

00:15:40and something happens to him,

00:15:41it's all on me now?

00:15:43Well, that's a convenient

00:15:44little setup you've got there.

00:15:46He laughed that chilling,

00:15:47humorless laugh

00:15:48that sent ice down my spine.

00:15:49Even if you manage

00:15:50to calm him down

00:15:50after telling him the truth,

00:15:51does that mean the drama

00:15:52ends there?

00:15:53Your mom, your brother,

00:15:54your chailed dad,

00:15:54will they all magically disappear

00:15:56from my family's radar?

00:15:57I never dragged you

00:15:57into any of their problems.

00:15:59True, you didn't come

00:15:59asking for handouts.

00:16:01But do you even know

00:16:01what kind of favors

00:16:02she's been cashing in?

00:16:03All right then.

00:16:04Show me what you've got.

00:16:06Or skip the effort.

00:16:07Just drug me.

00:16:08I'll even have

00:16:09a few bottles delivered.

00:16:19Aren't the two of you

00:16:20heading 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.

00:16:35I kept it like my last trump card.

00:16:48Sir, I need to tell you something.

00:16:50Go on.

00:17:00It's about your wife.

00:17:01She messaged me last night.

00:17:05Hi.

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

00:17:09Sir, perhaps someone

00:17:10hacked your wife's number

00:17:11as a prank

00:17:12to drive a wedge accusations?

00:17:15If it was a hack,

00:17:16the dark circles under your eyes

00:17:17tell me you'd have found

00:17:18the culprit last night.

00:17:19I checked.

00:17:20The message came

00:17:21from 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

00:17:34on the sly.

00:17:35Get a new SIM card

00:17:36and hand over your current number.

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

00:17:41Now.

00:17:44Got it, sir.

00:17:47And the investigation I ordered?

00:17:49Or are you getting paid

00:17:50a million dollars

00:17:51to cozy up to Eloise?

00:17:53Sir, please.

00:17:54Let me explain.

00:17:57I spent the day

00:17:58trying to see my father,

00:17:59but they wouldn't let me in.

00:18:00When I got home,

00:18:01the housekeeper

00:18:02met me at the door.

00:18:03Mrs. Nash.

00:18:04Mr. Nash asked

00:18:05if you could bring some food

00:18:06to the study.

00:18:07He's still waiting.

00:18:08He didn't touch dinner at all?

00:18:09Only 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

00:18:23these were your favorites,

00:18:24so I followed her instructions.

00:18:27She told you that?

00:18:30All my emotions

00:18:31are settling down

00:18:32at this moment.

00:18:37I am not his servant.

00:18:39Not anymore.

00:18:51What on earth

00:18:52are you doing here?

00:18:56This is my house.

00:18:57Why couldn't I be here?

00:19:01We've always kept

00:19:02to separate rooms.

00:19:03What changed tonight?

00:19:07The housekeepers

00:19:08posted up outside.

00:19:09You can sneak back

00:19:10to your room

00:19:11once she's asleep.

00:19:13Fine.

00:19:14You figure out

00:19:15how to slip away.

00:19:16Before I could reply,

00:19:17he stripped off his shirt.

00:19:19I instinctively

00:19:20pulled the blanket

00:19:21tighter around myself.

00:19:22I'm just going for a shower.

00:19:23What did you think

00:19:24I was going to do?

00:19:25It's the dead of night.

00:19:26A man and a woman alone.

00:19:28How am I supposed

00:19:28to know what you're planning?

00:19:30Only if I'd lost my mind

00:19:31would I ever want

00:19:32anything with you.

00:19:33It really does seem

00:19:35like you've lost

00:19:35your grip these days.

00:19:37Want your freedom?

00:19:38Then deal with

00:19:39the housekeeper yourself.

00:19:40As he walked

00:19:40to the bathroom,

00:19:41my eyes landed

00:19:42on the scratch marks

00:19:43on his back.

00:19:44Deep scratches

00:19:44from a woman's nails.

00:19:46You take the bed.

00:19:46I'll handle

00:19:47the housekeeper tomorrow.

00:19:48I've changed the sheets.

00:19:49They're fresh.

00:19:53Didn't the housekeeper

00:19:54pass along my message?

00:19:55The whole table

00:19:56was loaded with food

00:19:57I'm allergic for.

00:19:57I couldn't touch it.

00:19:59What?

00:19:59Didn't she ask about

00:20:00your allergies

00:20:00before she began?

00:20:01His accusation

00:20:02was so heartless

00:20:03I couldn't speak.

00:20:04Didn't she learn

00:20:05it all from you?

00:20:06Wasn't it your idea

00:20:07to have her make

00:20:08something I couldn't eat

00:20:08so you could swoop in

00:20:09and save the day?

00:20:10I just spun around

00:20:11and fled the room in tears.

00:20:13I ended up in the kitchen

00:20:14cooking pasta for him

00:20:16as my tears fell

00:20:18into the boiling water.

00:20:20What are we so broke

00:20:21we can't afford salt now?

00:20:23Is that why

00:20:23you're seasoning it like that?

00:20:27Next time don't cry.

00:20:29You look like a ghost

00:20:30out for revenge.

00:20:34I snatched Julian's phone

00:20:35put it on speaker.

00:20:37How's your face, Eloise?

00:20:39Still sore?

00:20:40Catherine?

00:20:41What are you doing

00:20:42with my brother's phone?

00:20:43You pushed your way

00:20:44into marrying him.

00:20:45He never sees you

00:20:45as his wife.

00:20:46Julian and I are married.

00:20:48Why wouldn't we be?

00:20:49You've destroyed

00:20:49whatever he had

00:20:50with Louisa.

00:20:51You're disgusting.

00:20:53Of course.

00:20:54It's all me.

00:20:56Every night

00:20:56I threaten him

00:20:57with a knife

00:20:57just to make him

00:20:58come home.

00:20:59Your father's

00:20:59serving 25 years

00:21:00for first degree

00:21:01murder, isn't he?

00:21:02No, he was framed.

00:21:04I, indeed,

00:21:05offered a guard

00:21:06200,000 yesterday.

00:21:08But he didn't take it.

00:21:09The 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?

00:21:18For a moment,

00:21:19warmth stirred in me.

00:21:20Then I saw

00:21:21his mocking smile.

00:21:22This was not kindness,

00:21:23but leverage.

00:21:24Aren't things like this

00:21:25part of being married?

00:21:27I apologized for last night.

00:21:29He stared at me

00:21:29longer 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

00:21:39anything 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

00:21:46you need from me,

00:21:47just say it.

00:21:49You grabbed my phone

00:21:50and provoked Elise.

00:21:52What exactly

00:21:53were you planning?

00:21:59That date,

00:22:00that promise,

00:22:00he was using it against me.

00:22:01Then I guess

00:22:02I should go ahead

00:22:02and cancel my plan

00:22:03next Wednesday.

00:22:05Me?

00:22:06Provoking Eloise

00:22:07for some purpose?

00:22:09She came at me first,

00:22:10so I pushed back,

00:22:11that's all.

00:22:12I recorded the call.

00:22:13And you really think

00:22:14someone like her

00:22:14would be shaken by that?

00:22:19I thought about

00:22:20dropping it

00:22:20in your clan's group chat.

00:22:21That clip would have

00:22:22done more damage

00:22:22to you than to her.

00:22:23I made sure

00:22:24you weren't in it.

00:22:26You're still keeping

00:22:26your promise

00:22:27for next Wednesday,

00:22:28right?

00:22:29Can I trust you

00:22:30not to lie to me?

00:22:32Depends on how I feel.

00:22:34My leverage,

00:22:35worthless before him.

00:22:40If it weren't for

00:22:41Catherine pulling

00:22:42the strings with my dad,

00:22:43Julian wouldn't still

00:22:44be trapped

00:22:44in that ridiculous marriage.

00:22:46You don't deserve

00:22:46to be sidelined like this.

00:22:47I really don't mind.

00:22:48Just knowing I hold

00:22:49even a small place

00:22:50in his seant

00:22:51is enough for me.

00:22:52Hey,

00:22:53do you know

00:22:53if Julian's free tonight?

00:22:55I'll ask Kastin.

00:22:56He'll know

00:22:56what Julian's schedule

00:22:57looks like.

00:23:11Sure.

00:23:15Julian,

00:23:16would you like

00:23:16like to have dinner

00:23:16with me?

00:23:18I'm free.

00:23:19Let's go.

00:23:21Not to get the

00:23:22Catherine-y.

00:23:24How's Catherine

00:23:24these days?

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

00:23:27You should think

00:23:27about your future.

00:23:28I'm focusing

00:23:29on my career.

00:23:32I waited for so long,

00:23:34prepared his favorite

00:23:35dishes, lit candles,

00:23:37but he didn't come home.

00:23:50He's not incapable

00:23:51of romance.

00:23:52He just never was

00:23:52romantic with me.

00:23:59You're always at home,

00:24:00dressed plainly,

00:24:01no makeup.

00:24:02How can you expect

00:24:02Mr. Nash to stay interested?

00:24:04If you look beautiful

00:24:05and confident,

00:24:05he will come running back.

00:24:08But Julian already

00:24:09belongs to someone else.

00:24:10If he's free

00:24:11to enjoy himself

00:24:12out there,

00:24:13why should I be faithful?

00:24:17But cheating

00:24:18outside marriage

00:24:19is just not right.

00:24:21So Julian's actions

00:24:22aren't cheating?

00:24:23Is it because he's a man

00:24:25that it somehow

00:24:26doesn't count?

00:24:29The autumn wind

00:24:30is so cold,

00:24:31but compared to

00:24:32the chill in my heart,

00:24:33this cold is nothing.

00:24:41Is love really

00:24:42that necessary?

00:24:45This someone

00:24:46you mentioned,

00:24:46who exactly

00:24:47are you talking about?

00:24:48There was this dog.

00:24:50He had an owner,

00:24:51a real home.

00:24:52The owner even went

00:24:53as far as arranging

00:24:54a marriage for him.

00:24:55I saw the dog

00:24:56wandering alone,

00:24:56so I gave him some food.

00:24:58But some dogs

00:24:59just can't be tamed.

00:25:00For my father's

00:25:00visitation rights,

00:25:01I had to bow my head.

00:25:02This isn't surrender,

00:25:03it's strategy.

00:25:04That dog wouldn't happen

00:25:05to go by the name Nash,

00:25:06would it?

00:25:07It's me.

00:25:07I'm a dog.

00:25:09Come on,

00:25:09bark for me.

00:25:10Oh, and maybe

00:25:10get your heart checked.

00:25:12Every time you're near me,

00:25:13it goes wild.

00:25:15That's nonsense.

00:25:23You know what

00:25:23I'm really after.

00:25:29Hey, Dad.

00:25:31What's going on?

00:25:32At that moment,

00:25:33I knew everything

00:25:34was about to change.

00:25:37Let go.

00:25:39Not really.

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

00:25:41My only real wish now

00:25:43is for a grandchild.

00:25:45She was secretly

00:25:46studying up

00:25:47on the best positions.

00:25:49She's really worked

00:25:50wonders on you.

00:25:51He said I was

00:25:53studying positions,

00:25:54the bastard.

00:25:55This long?

00:25:57My hand touched

00:25:57somewhere I shouldn't have.

00:25:59The size.

00:26:00Impossible.

00:26:01Julian,

00:26:01you might have

00:26:02a medical condition.

00:26:04Maybe

00:26:04some kind of

00:26:05viragous issue?

00:26:07You don't have to

00:26:07sugarcoat it

00:26:08to compliment me.

00:26:09You and I can lead

00:26:10separate personal lives.

00:26:12But I can.

00:26:13If you can promise me

00:26:15he's innocent,

00:26:16changing the outcome

00:26:17is only a matter of time.

00:26:19I need to rest.

00:26:21This damn marriage.

00:26:23I didn't mean to

00:26:24shut it so hard earlier.

00:26:25I'm doing it again,

00:26:26properly this time.

00:26:27This damn marriage.

00:26:29Kacen,

00:26:30book a complete

00:26:31medical evaluation

00:26:32for me first thing tomorrow.

00:26:37So it turns out

00:26:38I've hated the wrong person

00:26:39for five years.

00:26:41Five years.

00:26:42He endured

00:26:43so much understanding

00:26:44yet never offered

00:26:45an explanation.

00:26:46Julian,

00:26:47the husband I never

00:26:48gave a second glance.

00:26:49Now I understand

00:26:50what forbearance

00:26:51lay 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

00:27:08has never felt so vast,

00:27:10so suffocating.

00:27:11Julian,

00:27:12that night-

00:27:13No need to say more.

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

00:27:15But I-

00:27:16How is your inspection result?

00:27:17Is he running

00:27:18or protecting me?

00:27:20Sis,

00:27:21you look different today.

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

00:27:24Has something

00:27:25happened?

00:27:28Nothing much.

00:27:29Just

00:27:30figured some things out.

00:27:31In this world,

00:27:32only you truly love me.

00:27:34Austin,

00:27:34dear brother,

00:27:35mother never cared for us.

00:27:36We were just her pawns.

00:27:40Three years of marriage,

00:27:41all I got was silence

00:27:42and humiliation.

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

00:27:46I need to pay for it myself.

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

00:27:49I'm gonna put it on his wrist tonight.

00:27:51Your allowance seems to multiply

00:27:53rather quickly these days.

00:27:54Who said it's just your allowance?

00:27:55I've been investing with Louisa lately

00:27:57and made some money.

00:28:00Is she buying clothes

00:28:02for another man?

00:28:03Shut up.

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

00:28:05See?

00:28:05The sweater she's holding

00:28:07isn't even your size.

00:28:08It must be for some old man.

00:28:13Ma'am,

00:28:14this sweater will suit

00:28:15your dad perfectly.

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

00:28:23Ma'am,

00:28:23this tie is this year's new style,

00:28:25perfect for your husband.

00:28:29All right.

00:28:30I'll take it.

00:28:33Sir.

00:28:34Madam is waiting for you upstairs.

00:28:37Waiting for me?

00:28:38Why?

00:28:38You'll know when you go up, sir.

00:28:45Catherine?

00:28:46You're waiting for me?

00:28:48Um,

00:28:48this is for you.

00:28:50For me?

00:28:51Why?

00:28:54So,

00:28:55what do you want?

00:28:58It's nothing.

00:28:59I saw a tie today

00:29:00and thought of you.

00:29:03You thought of me.

00:29:05How sweet.

00:29:06Do you

00:29:07like it?

00:29:09You put it on me.

00:29:13I've never learned

00:29:13to tie one properly.

00:29:15Used to insist on doing it.

00:29:17Every single morning.

00:29:18That version of me

00:29:19doesn't exist anymore.

00:29:20I've forgotten.

00:29:24Fine.

00:29:29It's done.

00:29:31It's done.

00:29:31Now,

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

00:29:32I thought if we took a picture together,

00:29:34it might easy his mind.

00:29:35A picture?

00:29:37A picture?

00:29:37All this drama for a picture?

00:29:39Just stand still.

00:29:40And could you try to look like you don't want to kill me?

00:29:43I leaned closer,

00:29:44forcing a painful smile,

00:29:45and miscalculated the distance my lips brushed his lightly.

00:29:49I'm sorry, I...

00:29:51Don't move.

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

00:29:54Where's the contempt?

00:29:56He didn't push me away.

00:29:58Instead,

00:29:59he held my waist

00:30:00and the back of my head,

00:30:01deepening the kiss.

00:30:08His kiss wasn't gentle.

00:30:10It was harsh and overpowering.

00:30:12Julian!

00:30:13Stop!

00:30:14Let me go!

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

00:30:17I tried to push him away,

00:30:18but he just pulled me onto his lap,

00:30:20his arms locking around my waist.

00:30:22Catherine.

00:30:25The moment his grip loosened,

00:30:26I scrambled to the other end of the room.

00:30:28You didn't take a picture.

00:30:30You recorded audio.

00:30:32Give that back to me!

00:30:34My IP had recorded everything.

00:30:36All those little gasps.

00:30:37I must have missed them at the time.

00:30:39Delete it!

00:30:39This is my room!

00:30:40You need to get out!

00:30:45Later,

00:30:46with his help,

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

00:30:52Dad?

00:30:54It's me,

00:30:55Catherine.

00:30:56He looked so frail.

00:30:57He reached for me,

00:30:58trying to speak,

00:30:59but only distorted sounds came out.

00:31:01Miss Clark,

00:31:01our time is up.

00:31:03I don't understand.

00:31:05Who would do this?

00:31:07Before we left,

00:31:08Mr. Nash instructed me

00:31:09to check on your father's circumstances.

00:31:12Julian did?

00:31:13Julian?

00:31:14Julian?

00:31:15Why would he do that?

00:31:15I spoke to an old acquaintance inside.

00:31:17He'll make sure your father is protected.

00:31:19He planned for this?

00:31:21He knew.

00:31:22He knew this would happen.

00:31:26This is a specialty pastry

00:31:27from Julian's mother's hometown.

00:31:29He loved it as a child.

00:31:31I'll learn carefully.

00:31:34To thank him,

00:31:35I learned to make his Child Hill pastry.

00:31:43The lobby was as cold and imposing

00:31:45as the man who owned it.

00:31:48No appointment,

00:31:49no meeting.

00:31:50You need to leave.

00:31:51I refuse to be intimidated.

00:31:53I was just here to deliver a thank you.

00:31:55I'm just dropping something off for Julian Nash.

00:31:57You can check with his assistant.

00:32:00Every woman who shows up

00:32:01says the same thing.

00:32:02Spare me the act.

00:32:04Just call Kazen Price.

00:32:05If you're so confident,

00:32:07call him yourself.

00:32:08Or do you think you're Miss Wright

00:32:09who can waltz in here

00:32:10whenever she pleases?

00:32:12The words hit me like a physical blow.

00:32:14Miss Wright.

00:32:15The name echoed in the cavernous lobby

00:32:17and in my heart.

00:32:19I took out my phone

00:32:21and called Julian,

00:32:22but it went unanswered.

00:32:23Having trouble getting through?

00:32:26Fine.

00:32:27I'll just leave this here.

00:32:29Please see that he gets it.

00:32:31Don't bother.

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

00:32:34It'll go straight in the trash.

00:32:36Just then,

00:32:36a familiar ding cut through the silence

00:32:38and the world seemed to stop.

00:32:40Good day, Mr. Nash.

00:32:43Catherine,

00:32:44why didn't you wait for me in my office?

00:32:48Have you eaten?

00:32:49Let's talk upstairs.

00:32:51No.

00:32:52I made this to thank you.

00:32:54Eat it or throw it away.

00:32:55I'm leaving.

00:32:56I turned to walk away,

00:32:57but he caught my wrist,

00:32:59his grip firm.

00:33:01Why are you acting like this?

00:33:02Did she give you trouble?

00:33:09Mr. Price, please.

00:33:10I fought so hard for this job.

00:33:12I swear I didn't do anything to her.

00:33:14You made a huge mistake.

00:33:15HR will handle your severance.

00:33:19I followed Julian into his office.

00:33:22He opened the pastry box I brought,

00:33:25and the fragrance drifted softly

00:33:27through the silent air.

00:33:28Well, be honest.

00:33:29What's the score?

00:33:34Three out of ten.

00:33:36Huh.

00:33:37Three?

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

00:33:39like a starving man.

00:33:40What a liar.

00:33:44How did the housekeeper know

00:33:45how to make these?

00:33:46He said it's a specialty

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

00:33:48Thought you might remember the taste.

00:33:50His face shifted.

00:33:51Just a flicker of something

00:33:53unreadable crossing his features

00:33:54before he set the empty container aside.

00:33:57What's wrong?

00:33:58If you hated it,

00:33:59just say so.

00:33:59I won't make it again.

00:34:01Catherine,

00:34:02why doesn't your cooking

00:34:03ever set off my allergies?

00:34:06It just took some effort,

00:34:08that's all.

00:34:11There's a private lounge here.

00:34:13Get cleaned up with a hot shower

00:34:14before you go.

00:34:17It's fine.

00:34:18I'll just do it at home.

00:34:20If you end up with pneumonia,

00:34:21I'm tossing you and the pastries

00:34:23straight into the dumpster.

00:34:25Your top's practically transparent.

00:34:28You got a problem?

00:34:33I stepped out of his shower,

00:34:34wrapped in a towel.

00:34:37And that's member

00:34:38of the Mom's skew-vision towel,

00:34:40only to realize my clothes

00:34:42were still dripping wet.

00:34:47That moment,

00:34:48my heart skipped a beat,

00:34:50his gesture so casual,

00:34:51as if no distance existed

00:34:53between us at all.

00:34:59I thought he needed comfort,

00:35:00never knowing his wound

00:35:01wasn't in longing,

00:35:02but in those pasts

00:35:03he refused to speak of.

00:35:05Thinking about your mom?

00:35:07I barely remember her face,

00:35:08so no, not likely.

00:35:16I, I wasn't aware she was here.

00:35:18Apologies, I'll come back.

00:35:24Since you like it,

00:35:26try it on.

00:35:27That moment,

00:35:28my heart skipped a beat,

00:35:30his gesture so casual,

00:35:31as if no distance existed

00:35:33between us at all.

00:35:36Pretty average.

00:35:45We went shopping at the boutique

00:35:46with laughter and joy.

00:35:50Oh, come on,

00:35:51you and your husband

00:35:52must have experimented, right?

00:35:54After exiting the mall,

00:35:56I saw his car parked

00:35:57by the roadside.

00:36:00Julian!

00:36:00What a surprise

00:36:01seeing you here!

00:36:05I found out later

00:36:06what happened

00:36:06to the necklace Julian gave me.

00:36:08He went to his office

00:36:09and found the velvet box gone.

00:36:10Has my wife

00:36:11been in my office lately?

00:36:12No, sir,

00:36:12but your sister

00:36:13has stopped by

00:36:14more than once.

00:36:17What's wrong, Eloine?

00:36:18It's Julian.

00:36:19He's being so dramatic.

00:36:21I bet Catherine stirred things up

00:36:22and now he's lashing out at me.

00:36:24Eloine,

00:36:24isn't Linna Grant

00:36:25hosting a celebration soon?

00:36:26Let's merge my birthday celebration

00:36:28with her event.

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

00:36:30Building connections

00:36:30is what truly matters.

00:36:31You're leagues ahead of Catherine,

00:36:33so thoughtful and poised.

00:36:34He'd be a fool

00:36:34not to fall for you.

00:36:36What is it?

00:36:37I need a shirt

00:36:38to go with this.

00:36:38There's an event tomorrow.

00:36:40What kind of event is it?

00:36:41Are you one of the key guests?

00:36:42It's Lila Grant's

00:36:43hundred-day milestone

00:36:44with her boyfriend.

00:36:44I'm just talking business.

00:36:45I don't want to draw

00:36:46too much attention.

00:36:47I was just adjusting his collar,

00:36:48but my fingers brushed

00:36:49against his chest.

00:36:50He was perfectly sculpted.

00:36:52Lost in thought,

00:36:53or are you meditating?

00:36:54Feel free to admire.

00:36:55I can take the shirt off

00:36:57if you want a better look.

00:36:59Take off your shirt, now.

00:37:01And what exactly

00:37:02are those flower-shaped things?

00:37:04Nipple covers.

00:37:04I got them ages ago.

00:37:06Your shirt is sheer.

00:37:06These will prevent

00:37:07things from showing.

00:37:11And slap them onto his chest.

00:37:13That's all.

00:37:14I'm going to bed now.

00:37:16At the gala,

00:37:17I stared at my reflection,

00:37:19almost a stranger to myself.

00:37:22I put on the mask,

00:37:24hoping to remain unseen.

00:37:28Miss Grant,

00:37:30today is my birthday,

00:37:31and Julian has been

00:37:32buried in work.

00:37:33Could I borrow your pianist

00:37:34for just a moment?

00:37:35A song might help him relax.

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

00:37:39It should be her choice.

00:37:40I appreciate that.

00:37:43She's the pianist I mentioned.

00:37:45Incredibly gifted.

00:37:46Miss Grant,

00:37:47you're giving me too much credit.

00:37:48I'm just here to earn a living.

00:37:50You're too humble.

00:37:50They brought in a Steinwein for you.

00:37:52So,

00:37:53what's with the mask?

00:37:54It's just how the outfit was designed.

00:38:03I kept telling myself I had moved on,

00:38:05but seeing them together

00:38:07was a special kind of cruelty.

00:38:10Catherine.

00:38:14I have to get back.

00:38:15So it really is you.

00:38:17Leaving already?

00:38:18That's a little impolite.

00:38:20Please,

00:38:20let me pass.

00:38:21Are you afraid of me?

00:38:22But why?

00:38:23I'm just someone Julian knows.

00:38:26You're his wife,

00:38:27aren't you?

00:38:27Or does seeing me

00:38:28really shake you that much?

00:38:34I ran,

00:38:35her mocking voice

00:38:36echoing behind me.

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

00:38:42This pastry is clang.

00:38:44Already bored?

00:38:45We can head out soon if you want.

00:38:47No need to worry about me.

00:38:48Then,

00:38:49the light softened.

00:38:50A piano melody

00:38:51swept through the hall.

00:38:53Everyone turned to watch the couple kiss.

00:38:56But Julian's eyes,

00:38:58they bypassed them completely

00:38:59and landed right on me.

00:39:04Even in a room full of people,

00:39:06I could feel the whispers

00:39:07turning towards me.

00:39:08Who is that at the piano?

00:39:10I don't know.

00:39:11I've never seen her before.

00:39:12She seems young.

00:39:14Probably just hired help.

00:39:15If she's not from our circle,

00:39:17I might have a shot.

00:39:19Don't.

00:39:22I could feel his eyes on me

00:39:23from across the room,

00:39:24a commanding presence

00:39:25that felt like it could see

00:39:26right through my mask.

00:39:32Julian!

00:39:33Then,

00:39:33a cheerful voice

00:39:34cut through the tension,

00:39:36pulling his attention away.

00:39:38What's inside?

00:39:39It's for you.

00:39:40How would I know?

00:39:41Just open it.

00:39:44He pulled the ribbon

00:39:45and pink balloons

00:39:46soared into the air

00:39:47one after another,

00:39:48with Louisa emerging

00:39:50from among them.

00:39:52It's your birthday.

00:39:54Why wrap yourself

00:39:55like a present?

00:39:56Will you take the gift,

00:39:58Julian?

00:39:58Watching him offer tenderness

00:40:00to another woman

00:40:00sent a sharp H

00:40:02through me.

00:40:02He was my husband

00:40:03and I was just a bystander.

00:40:05Miss,

00:40:06here's the piece

00:40:07Miss Wright asked for.

00:40:11I braced myself

00:40:12and began to play,

00:40:13but my fingers faltered,

00:40:15striking a harsh,

00:40:16jaring chord

00:40:16that silenced the hall.

00:40:19What happened?

00:40:20She stopped.

00:40:22A blade!

00:40:23There's a blade

00:40:24wedged between the keys!

00:40:33Hurts,

00:40:34doesn't it?

00:40:38I found the blade

00:40:39Louisa hid

00:40:40between the piano keys.

00:40:41An execution

00:40:42aimed straight at my hands.

00:40:44What made her stop

00:40:45playing all of a sudden?

00:40:47Seriously,

00:40:47who hired this pianist?

00:40:49Is she deaf

00:40:49or just ignoring us?

00:40:51I pulled the blade free

00:40:52and began to play again.

00:40:53What is this melody?

00:40:54It's haunting.

00:40:55She should be crying in pain.

00:40:57Is she playing

00:40:58a morning song

00:40:59on Louisa's birthday?

00:41:01Julian,

00:41:02why is everyone staring?

00:41:03They don't seem very pleased.

00:41:05Julian,

00:41:06it's my fault.

00:41:07I only meant to borrow her

00:41:08for a short while.

00:41:09Maybe she's upset.

00:41:11She's not even mad, right?

00:41:12She's playing perfectly fine.

00:41:14Please,

00:41:14just let it go.

00:41:15I should have thought things through.

00:41:17Ella Wayne,

00:41:17bring her here.

00:41:20When the last note faded,

00:41:22I didn't wait to be summoned.

00:41:24I snatched a silver fork

00:41:25from a table

00:41:26and walked straight for her.

00:41:30My brother wants to talk to you.

00:41:33Julian, stop her!

00:41:35She's coming for me!

00:41:38That's enough.

00:41:40I sidestepped him

00:41:41and lunged for Louisa.

00:41:43He moved to block me,

00:41:44catching my wrist

00:41:45just as he ripped my mask away.

00:41:49Catherine?

00:41:50Are you out of your damn mind?

00:41:52Let go.

00:41:54She tried to stab me, Julian!

00:41:55She's insane!

00:41:57My grip rip tightened.

00:41:58You will answer to me!

00:42:02No.

00:42:03She will.

00:42:05I sent Louisa crashing to the floor

00:42:08with one swift kick.

00:42:10What the hell is wrong with you?

00:42:12You crazy bitch!

00:42:14Enough!

00:42:16He seized my wrist

00:42:17and jerked me backward,

00:42:19shoving me toward Louisa.

00:42:21Say you're sorry.

00:42:23Let me go.

00:42:25You're going to apologize.

00:42:28Right now.

00:42:29If you want to play judge,

00:42:30call the cops.

00:42:31You don't get to command me.

00:42:33Julian!

00:42:34This is a public event.

00:42:35Let it go.

00:42:37Ernest,

00:42:39take Louisa to the hospital.

00:42:42Julian.

00:42:43He dragged me out of the hotel,

00:42:45his grip like iron.

00:42:51Why did you go after Louisa?

00:42:54Let me go.

00:42:56Answer me.

00:42:57What do you want me to admit?

00:42:59Even if she started it,

00:43:00you wouldn't believe me anyway.

00:43:02Started it?

00:43:03She never left my side.

00:43:04Do you hear how ridiculous you sound?

00:43:07I knew you'd say that.

00:43:09You always rush to her defense.

00:43:11Starting now.

00:43:13You don't mean anything to me.

00:43:20Julian,

00:43:21come with me.

00:43:22Louisa needs you at the hospital.

00:43:28The banquet scene was in chaos.

00:43:30I walked tall,

00:43:32unable to hide the turmoil inside me.

00:43:34Trail her.

00:43:35Make sure she gets back safely.

00:43:37Yes, sir.

00:43:42What's going on with Louisa?

00:43:43Louisa.

00:43:44You're going to check on her?

00:43:45One more won't make a difference.

00:43:47She might refuse the driver you sent.

00:43:49Should I take her?

00:43:50Your own sister is hurt,

00:43:51and you're worried about her instead?

00:43:53Just a joke.

00:43:54I know my limits.

00:43:55The dried blood catching the light.

00:43:56Wait.

00:43:57Is this blood?

00:43:59Get this treated at the hospital.

00:44:04She humiliated me?

00:44:06She humiliated me?

00:44:06And Julian just stood by and watched?

00:44:09You'd better be honest about what you did to Catherine.

00:44:13It's just a minor injury.

00:44:15He won't care.

00:44:19Sir,

00:44:20Madam hasn't returned home yet.

00:44:24Don't mention her again.

00:44:26She was so full of joy this morning,

00:44:28saying she wanted to celebrate with you.

00:44:31I'm sorry for getting you mixed up in this.

00:44:34I just lost control for a moment.

00:44:37You're too soft.

00:44:38If it had been me,

00:44:40I would have killed her.

00:44:43I later learned that Lila insisted on talking to Julian.

00:44:46We don't even know Julian Nash.

00:44:48Why on earth would he care what we have to say?

00:44:50Lila was annoyed by Louisa's overstepping at her party.

00:44:53Whether he listens or not doesn't matter.

00:44:56I just want to get some justice.

00:44:58Julian agreed to the meeting easily,

00:45:00but his mood was unusually bad that day.

00:45:05That night involved Miss Wright and Mrs. Nash.

00:45:07It would reflect poorly on us.

00:45:09What does that have to do with me?

00:45:10But Miss Wright, she's...

00:45:11There's nothing between us.

00:45:12There is nothing between us.

00:45:14What are you standing there for?

00:45:16Got nothing better to do?

00:45:17Get out!

00:45:18Was your hand badly hurt?

00:45:19The stitches are out already.

00:45:21I'm fine.

00:45:21Why is Louisa targeting you?

00:45:23Does Julian have a crush on you?

00:45:26It's not that dramatic.

00:45:28On the day of their meeting,

00:45:29it rained heavily.

00:45:30What gives you and Louisa the right to bully Catherine?

00:45:35A victim who attacks people with a fork

00:45:38and knocks someone flying with one kick?

00:45:40How very novel.

00:45:42Why don't you ask what Louisa did first?

00:45:47Catherine cut her finger on a blade

00:45:49hidden in the piano keys

00:45:50and required several stitches.

00:45:52The truth began to surface

00:45:53during the dinner between Julian and Lila.

00:45:55When did this happen?

00:45:56After you left,

00:45:57the razor blade was hidden inside the new sheet music.

00:45:59I handed the matter of last week's banquet

00:46:01over to the police.

00:46:03I have no idea what you're talking about.

00:46:05Police visit late at night.

00:46:07What trouble have you got yourself into this time?

00:46:09Leave me alone.

00:46:10Do whatever it takes to fix this.

00:46:12Is this about Catherine?

00:46:14Has he lost his mind defending her like this?

00:46:16He doesn't love you.

00:46:17Mrs. Catherine takes on jobs in three fields

00:46:19at the same time.

00:46:20Design, music, and translation.

00:46:21Her annual income is quite significant.

00:46:23She earns between $50,000 and $200,000 per performance.

00:46:25One more thing.

00:46:26The card you gave her

00:46:27was recently charged overseas

00:46:28for over $3 million.

00:46:29What did she buy?

00:46:30A McLaren.

00:46:31Call Catherine and tell her to come back.

00:46:33The madam might be busy.

00:46:34Would you like to call her personally?

00:46:36You call her.

00:46:37Without a word,

00:46:38Julian passed her his phone.

00:46:40Still no answer.

00:46:41Call again.

00:46:42Sir,

00:46:42it seems she has blocked you.

00:46:45I blocked him.

00:46:46He looked very angry.

00:46:51I loathed going back to that so-called home

00:46:53and unexpectedly ran into him.

00:46:56I just came back to get something.

00:46:58I'll leave right away.

00:46:59Catherine,

00:47:00let's talk.

00:47:02There's nothing to talk about.

00:47:05Louisa started it.

00:47:07You didn't explain it properly at all.

00:47:10So you've figured it all out now?

00:47:12I've already warned her.

00:47:14Your card was taken by Aline.

00:47:16Why didn't you tell me?

00:47:16Some things are pointless to say.

00:47:18Can't you just talk sense?

00:47:20I'm only talking to you the way you deserve.

00:47:22Then we'll talk in the study.

00:47:23Is this how a man should act?

00:47:24Let go of me!

00:47:26Have you lost your mind?

00:47:30Later, Julian went to the hospital.

00:47:32When Kacen brought the necklace he prepared for me,

00:47:34he gave it to Kacen in anger.

00:47:36It's yours now.

00:47:37Isn't this necklace for madam?

00:47:38It would be a waste to give it to her.

00:47:40Shall we head home, Mr. Julian?

00:47:43To the company.

00:47:48I ran into Ernest unexpectedly at the hospital,

00:47:50and he apologized for Louisa's behavior at the party.

00:47:53Don't you lay a finger on Catherine.

00:47:57Julian, you are overthinking.

00:47:59I simply ran into Miss Clark and had a few words with her.

00:48:02What?

00:48:03Have you taken a fancy to married women now?

00:48:05Catherine will never get a divorce.

00:48:07Don't waste your time.

00:48:08How dare you fool around with another man right outside the hospital?

00:48:11What exactly are you back for?

00:48:13For your dignity or for your eyesight?

00:48:14What are you scheming with the rights,

00:48:16and why do you need Ernest's personal business card?

00:48:18Is accepting a business card can come flirting?

00:48:20Am I to be suspected even for just talking to someone?

00:48:25Hello?

00:48:26I'm at the lounge.

00:48:27Could you send someone to pick me up?

00:48:29It's near the hotel.

00:48:30Stay right there.

00:48:31I'm on my way.

00:48:32One more round!

00:48:33Bring it on!

00:48:36Who are you?

00:48:38It's time to go back to the hotel.

00:48:40Are you with the hotel?

00:48:42No, but I've spoken with the front desk.

00:48:44Just come with me.

00:48:44Who exactly are you?

00:48:46Mr. A.

00:48:51What?

00:48:53What are you doing?

00:48:54You are Julian Nash's wife, so I can't show my face.

00:48:57Don't mention him in front of me.

00:48:59He blindfolded me with his tie and held me.

00:49:02Nervous at first, I forced myself to relax.

00:49:04So nervous?

00:49:05Don't you like this?

00:49:06No.

00:49:08Not getting along with Julian Nash?

00:49:10Don't mention him again.

00:49:12In the car, he asked about Julian again,

00:49:15and I didn't want to talk about it.

00:49:16Later, in the dark hotel room,

00:49:18he suddenly kissed me,

00:49:20and I couldn't resist at all.

00:49:23Out of breath already?

00:49:25Not used to kissing?

00:49:27Don't.

00:49:28We shouldn't be this intimate.

00:49:30Really?

00:49:31Then what exactly are we to each other?

00:49:33Pretending to be Mr. A to cheat on myself?

00:49:36That's completely crazy.

00:49:44What happened last night?

00:49:48Waking up, everything felt like a dream.

00:49:51But my body remembers every moment.

00:49:58One month.

00:49:59He thinks I can be bought.

00:50:02Let me introduce Mr. Nash,

00:50:05CEO of Nash Group.

00:50:08We've never met.

00:50:11A pleasure, Mr. Nash.

00:50:14In that moment, time stood still.

00:50:16It was him.

00:50:17Mr. A, we had to pretend we'd never met.

00:50:21This city is full of women like you, Ms. Clark.

00:50:25Professional, elegant,

00:50:27and available for the right price.

00:50:31The contract terms are standard, Mr. Nash.

00:50:33Every word was a dagger from last night.

00:50:36I had to stay calm.

00:50:38Couldn't let him see me waver.

00:50:40Have dinner with me.

00:50:41I don't think that's appropriate.

00:50:44You already spent last night with your husband.

00:50:47One dinner.

00:50:48That's all I'm asking.

00:50:56Tonight, everything is under control.

00:51:02She thinks she's the hunter.

00:51:04Little does she know,

00:51:05the prey has its eyes on her.

00:51:07Well, well.

00:51:09Look who decided to show up.

00:51:12Words are the finest weapons,

00:51:13and I never miss my mark.

00:51:17Julian mentioned you'd be difficult.

00:51:19I can see why he prefers my company.

00:51:21Does he?

00:51:22Or is it that you're simply available?

00:51:25You think you're so clever?

00:51:26No, Louisa, I don't think.

00:51:28I know.

00:51:28And that's the difference between us.

00:51:31I'm his wife.

00:51:32You're just a distraction.

00:51:38I thought the battlefield was settled.

00:51:41I was wrong.

00:51:42The real fight was just beginning.

00:51:47Did you enjoy your little game?

00:51:49His kiss wasn't love.

00:51:51It was a mark,

00:51:52a possession,

00:51:53a vengeance.

00:51:56You're mine, Catherine.

00:51:57Never forget that.

00:52:01A thinks he's won,

00:52:03but he doesn't know my counterattack has just begun.

00:52:06Remember your place, darling.

00:52:12This is an additional card.

00:52:14It's capped at 10 million a month.

00:52:15You should have been using it all along.

00:52:16There's no need to hold back on Mike.

00:52:18I don't need it.

00:52:18Three years beside me and not a dime touched.

00:52:20What?

00:52:20When we part ways,

00:52:21are you planning to tell people I was cold and stingy?

00:52:23Not everyone thinks badly of others.

00:52:24You never really know someone's nature.

00:52:25I'd rather not leave behind any loose ends.

00:52:27Don't want it?

00:52:27Trash it.

00:52:28Just remember,

00:52:29bank cards go in recycling bin.

00:52:30You've avoided home for nearly a month.

00:52:32Want to return willingly,

00:52:33or should my dad come fetch you himself?

00:52:35Your call.

00:52:36His threat weighs like a stone on my heart.

00:52:43You don't like it?

00:52:45This is all for appearances.

00:52:46Why go to all that trouble?

00:52:48It's not for show.

00:52:49I picked it out for you.

00:52:50Is your office running late tonight?

00:52:52Nash Group doesn't believe in overtime.

00:52:54Right.

00:52:56His message isn't from the person I texted.

00:52:58Let's talk later.

00:53:00Let's not keep Lawrence waiting.

00:53:02We should go.

00:53:04We're here.

00:53:06This bracelet is a hollow gesture.

00:53:08I'd prefer something simpler.

00:53:10Absolutely not.

00:53:11You give me a grand grand sub, Julian,

00:53:13and I'll never meddle in your personal matters again.

00:53:15You made the exact same promise when you forced me into marriage.

00:53:17Did you really think I'd fall for it twice?

00:53:19His silence is a volcano about to erupt.

00:53:23I don't want her around.

00:53:25What's your problem?

00:53:26Was it necessary to screech chair across the floor?

00:53:31That's a lie!

00:53:32When did I ever say that?

00:53:34You're twisting everything!

00:53:35Still denying it?

00:53:36Look at the way you're acting.

00:53:38All right, enough of this.

00:53:39You're an adult now.

00:53:39You can't crumble over every little thing.

00:53:41Camille, is that what Elish told you?

00:53:43Because I remember it very differently.

00:53:44Elish, you practically stole that card from me,

00:53:46insisting I wasn't worthy of Julian or the Nash family's resources.

00:53:48What are you saying?

00:53:49You never asked!

00:53:51I never asked?

00:53:51That card carried six million a year.

00:53:53You took it without saying a word?

00:53:56You did, but I thought...

00:53:58Six million a year, not even twenty over three.

00:54:00If Catherine wants it back, I'll wire it to her.

00:54:02If paying back stolen funds solved everything,

00:54:04there'd be no need for law enforcement.

00:54:06Stolen?

00:54:07That's a bit much, don't you think?

00:54:08Return the money you took.

00:54:09Double the amount.

00:54:10Starting now, I'll handle your allowance.

00:54:13Ten thousand per month, for the next three years.

00:54:15Only ten thousand?

00:54:17Wasn't it your mother who said you were too young to need that kind of money?

00:54:20His decision surprises me.

00:54:22Kath, it's getting late.

00:54:24You and Julia should spend the night here and join me for breakfast tomorrow.

00:54:30All right, Lawrence.

00:54:31Come, Eloise.

00:54:32Let's go upstairs.

00:54:35Next time something happens, come to me directly.

00:54:38Don't stir up trouble that can be avoided.

00:54:41Hmm.

00:54:43Pick a room for the night.

00:54:44I'll have someone prepare it.

00:54:47Who is he?

00:54:48Why does he always appear when I need him?

00:54:55The tension between Julian and his father was thick enough to choke on.

00:54:58What happened in that room?

00:55:00He stood in the shadows.

00:55:02When I was nice to Camille tonight, it wasn't because I meant it.

00:55:05I just wanted to get under Alaysha's skin.

00:55:07Why are you justifying yourself to me?

00:55:10If they don't have it in this city, go find it in another one.

00:55:13Do I have to spell everything out for you?

00:55:16They're hard to get, actually.

00:55:17They're custom-made Alba Custom Fragrances.

00:55:23Julian, there's no extra blanket here.

00:55:26If you're that cold, come share it.

00:55:28The bed had only one blanket, and Julian was already lying there.

00:55:31Expecting me to share it.

00:55:32Frustrated, I kicked the bed.

00:55:34A mistake.

00:55:35Instant toe pain.

00:55:36Catherine, remind me.

00:55:39How old are you again?

00:55:45Mr. Nash said to make sure you both drink it.

00:55:48I have to report back once it's done.

00:55:52Julian, get up.

00:55:53You need to drink the soup.

00:56:02Before I could react, he pulled me into his arms and forced the soup into my mouth through a kiss.

00:56:10After changing into our pajamas, I slammed my foot down on his with a fury that made the floorboards rattle.

00:56:16But he didn't even flinch.

00:56:18That stuff must work quick.

00:56:20Look at you.

00:56:21Suddenly full of energy.

00:56:23In the dark, I heard muffled, breathing, strange, restrained sounds.

00:56:27My mind lit up with images I shouldn't be thinking about.

00:56:31I woke up to find myself collapsed right on top of him.

00:56:34Worse, my hand had connected with his face, and then his most sensitive area.

00:56:38I didn't mean to.

00:56:39I'm really sorry.

00:56:40When I sleep, I clutch onto a pillow.

00:56:42I guess I thought you were one.

00:56:44He claimed the bed was too flimsy for intimacy.

00:56:47I blushed in utter mortification.

00:56:48Didn't get much sleep, did you?

00:56:50What's going on with you?

00:56:51The bed in my room is too flimsy for certain activities.

00:56:54We moved to the balcony.

00:56:55Guess the cold wind got me sick.

00:57:00Inside the car, Julian coldly asked me why I was so kind to his father.

00:57:04I was a teared, then told him the truth.

00:57:06What did my dad give you to make you treat him so kindly?

00:57:11When debt collectors came and forced me to sell myself,

00:57:14it was your father who stepped in.

00:57:17He gave me the money to fix everything.

00:57:19He checked the sum his father had given me.

00:57:21Eight hundred thousand.

00:57:23His expression was unreadable.

00:57:24Only eight hundred thousand?

00:57:31Oh, absolutely.

00:57:32Mr. Nash is wonderful to work with.

00:57:34We've even become friends over the course of our collaboration.

00:57:36Since you two are friends now, Mr. Dupont,

00:57:39there's something I think you should know.

00:57:40Your temporary interpreter, Ms. Clark,

00:57:42she doesn't even hold a real translation certification.

00:57:45Is that really the case?

00:57:47I'd be more than happy to help you arrange that, free of charge.

00:57:50One more thing, Ms. Wright.

00:57:51It's never a good idea to badmuff people when they're not around.

00:57:57Julian, I hate to bother you,

00:57:59but Elise has been really upset lately.

00:58:01She keeps coming to me in tears,

00:58:02and I can't just stand by,

00:58:03so I had to come come talk to you about it.

00:58:06Let her cry all she wants.

00:58:08Don't give her a single cent.

00:58:09Understood?

00:58:10Mr. Nash,

00:58:10it seems you're lucky to have Ms. Wright's expert hands.

00:58:13Sounds like he's envious.

00:58:14Why don't you give him one later?

00:58:15I wouldn't even think of it.

00:58:21In that moment,

00:58:22I saw the challenge in her eyes,

00:58:23and the evasion in his.

00:58:25We were husband and wife,

00:58:26yet we stared at each other like strangers.

00:58:28This game was just beginning.

00:58:31How about nine?

00:58:32Sorry, I'm unavailable tonight.

00:58:34You invited me last time,

00:58:35but I showed up at the hotel and never saw you.

00:58:37I had something urgent come up.

00:58:38I explained afterward.

00:58:40I didn't see your message.

00:58:42Okay.

00:58:44Julian,

00:58:45what's caught your eye?

00:58:48Something R-80.

00:58:53What hotel are we heading to?

00:58:56Riverpoint Hotel.

00:58:57That's a pretty low tier pick.

00:59:01Doesn't look like he's investing much in you.

00:59:09The room was dark,

00:59:10and so was my heart.

00:59:12I knew he was on his way.

00:59:13I knew I shouldn't expect anything,

00:59:15but that familiar feeling,

00:59:17it wouldn't fade.

00:59:22Seriously?

00:59:23Don't bring him up right now.

00:59:24You're killing the moment.

00:59:26Then why don't you pretend I'm him?

00:59:28Doesn't bother me.

00:59:30Treat me as your husband.

00:59:32Just for a moment,

00:59:34you sounded exactly like my jerk husband.

00:59:37Still haunted by him,

00:59:38huh?

00:59:39Huh?

00:59:50Again,

00:59:51every time I wake up,

00:59:52he's gone.

00:59:53I bit him.

00:59:54If he's Julian,

00:59:55there should be marks.

00:59:56I have to know.

01:00:03You actually seem more energized

01:00:05the more you work.

01:00:06I had a little too much last night.

01:00:08Got all this energy to burn.

01:00:10Nested that too.

01:00:11Gotta let it out somehow.

01:00:14Oh no,

01:00:15I'm so sorry,

01:00:15I didn't mean to.

01:00:17Good thing I brought you a new shirt.

01:00:18Go change quickly.

01:00:22Your shirt is $6.99.

01:00:24You owe me that much.

01:00:26Catherine said Julian owed her for the shirt.

01:00:28He gave her $80,000 without a glance.

01:00:30I'll drive you back.

01:00:31Julian drives the exhausted Catherine home.

01:00:34At home,

01:00:35Julian carried the sleeping Catherine to her bed,

01:00:37but she wouldn't let go of his arm.

01:00:39Let go.

01:00:40She didn't,

01:00:40so he shoved an ugly turtle plush

01:00:42into her arms and left.

01:00:44Under the pillow,

01:00:46he found their marriage certificate.

01:00:47His name was blacked out

01:00:49with angry marker strokes.

01:00:50The corners were frayed.

01:00:51She'd held it too many times.

01:00:53What are you filming?

01:00:54Mr. Nash,

01:00:54I just think it's so nice

01:00:55to have the madam back.

01:00:56I saw you holding your wife.

01:00:57It was so sweet,

01:00:58I couldn't help myself.

01:01:00He finally came to his senses.

01:01:02Looks like my efforts weren't in vain.

01:01:03Can I post this on social media?

01:01:07That's for Julian.

01:01:08Can you not eat it all?

01:01:09Don't push your luck.

01:01:10He throws away everything you give him

01:01:12without even looking at it.

01:01:13What exactly are you trying to say?

01:01:15Are you still gonna send it?

01:01:16What role do you think

01:01:17you play in their story?

01:01:21You've got some nerve

01:01:22cheating on someone

01:01:23who belongs to Lila.

01:01:24You just said you'd do anything, right?

01:01:26Mm-hmm.

01:01:27Because right now, LS,

01:01:29I have an idea.

01:01:34I've thought of a way

01:01:35to finally get back at her.

01:01:39I'm listening.

01:01:41Okay.

01:01:44See that?

01:01:45Perfect ammunition.

01:01:47Recording.

01:01:48Got it.

01:01:49You're brilliant!

01:01:50One video takes down both of them!

01:01:52As long as you're pleased.

01:01:53Just don't go too far.

01:01:58Insurance.

01:01:59For later.

01:02:00I don't want to leave you, Pearson.

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

01:02:03Lila's going on a trip next week.

01:02:05Then I'm all yours, babe.

01:02:07Pearson looked quite pleased with himself.

01:02:08But as soon as her car drove away,

01:02:10he turned around and froze.

01:02:12Bold of you,

01:02:13carrying on in public like this.

01:02:14What?

01:02:15What do you want?

01:02:18Something feels off.

01:02:19Mr. Nash must really adore you.

01:02:21These are all top tier.

01:02:23Since when does Julian

01:02:23buy me gifts like this?

01:02:26Who else do you think

01:02:27I bought them for?

01:02:27Louisa Wright, of course.

01:02:29Those dresses were made

01:02:30for flat chests.

01:02:31She wouldn't fit

01:02:31even if she tried.

01:02:33Up for it?

01:02:35I want to see your face.

01:02:37Knowing too much

01:02:38could be dangerous.

01:02:39The food's for you.

01:02:40Go ahead.

01:02:41Thanks.

01:02:42I'll wait.

01:02:42Let's eat together.

01:02:43I've already eaten.

01:02:45You remind me of my husband.

01:02:47Then why not just

01:02:48turn on the light

01:02:48and take a look?

01:02:49I think it's better

01:02:51if we stick to the rules.

01:02:52Why do you love him so much?

01:02:54You talk too much.

01:02:56You're sensitive everywhere, huh?

01:03:00He's allergic to cream

01:03:02but this man doesn't care.

01:03:04You...

01:03:05Are you planning to eat

01:03:06all of it with your mouth?

01:03:07Of course.

01:03:09Then...

01:03:09maybe don't eat too much.

01:03:13Cream's not poison.

01:03:15Why shouldn't I have more?

01:03:16I just can't.

01:03:18I just can't.

01:03:21It's okay.

01:03:22Let it all out.

01:03:24His arms comforted me

01:03:25but could not heal my heart.

01:03:27I want to stop loving him.

01:03:29Late at night,

01:03:30his call broke the silence.

01:03:32Oh!

01:03:33My heart skipped a beat.

01:03:38Hello?

01:03:39Pireson?

01:03:40At this hour?

01:03:41What is it?

01:03:42Catherine,

01:03:43I have a favor to ask.

01:03:44Can you design a dress for Lila?

01:03:45It's a surprise.

01:03:48Smells good.

01:03:49You're a great cook.

01:03:50Thanks.

01:03:52I hope you like it.

01:03:54Standing at his door,

01:03:55I knew it was dangerous

01:03:55yet I couldn't stay away.

01:03:58Miss Clark,

01:03:59you're even more stunning in person

01:04:01than in the photos.

01:04:02If you're feeling warm,

01:04:03don't hesitate to take off your coat.

01:04:05I...

01:04:05I need to see Lila about the dress.

01:04:06Yes.

01:04:10Care to explain what's going on?

01:04:11You really think

01:04:12sitting alone with me

01:04:13in the living room

01:04:14counts as a threat?

01:04:16All right, all right.

01:04:17Cautious girls

01:04:18are all the rage these days.

01:04:19I'll go grab her.

01:04:20That would be appreciated.

01:04:24Catherine!

01:04:25Why were you standing out here?

01:04:26It's freezing.

01:04:27Look at these.

01:04:28They look perfect on you.

01:04:30Thank you, Lila.

01:04:31They're beautiful.

01:04:32Do you mind giving us some space?

01:04:34This is girl time.

01:04:34Why are you even still here?

01:04:35Fine, fine.

01:04:36I'll leave you two to your...

01:04:37girl time.

01:04:39So, Catherine,

01:04:40what brings you over today?

01:04:41Really?

01:04:41I just...

01:04:42needed to see a friend.

01:04:43But I couldn't stay.

01:04:44Every second in that house

01:04:46felt like suffocation.

01:04:47I needed to escape.

01:04:48Just curious, Miss Clark.

01:04:49Does the surprise I planned for Lila

01:04:51make you feel any pressure?

01:04:52Did I somehow offend you?

01:04:53If something at the last party

01:04:54rubbed you the wrong way,

01:04:55just come out with it.

01:04:55I'll fix it if I can.

01:04:56You can do it, Mr. West.

01:04:56Foss the time then she Lila on

01:04:57like she means nothing.

01:04:58Now what exactly are you getting at?

01:05:00You said you'd make it up to me.

01:05:01In what way?

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

01:05:03The sound of him hitting the wall

01:05:04felt real and satisfying.

01:05:06You really couldn't wait

01:05:07until tonight, huh, babe?

01:05:08Tell me,

01:05:08when have we ever used this brand?

01:05:10Oh, that?

01:05:10Just a new brand I grabbed.

01:05:11Figured we could mix things up,

01:05:12but looks like you beat me to it.

01:05:13Funny.

01:05:14You took your sweet time

01:05:15walking Catherine out.

01:05:15What held you up?

01:05:16I know you look up

01:05:16to Catherine's talent, Lila.

01:05:18Maybe it's best

01:05:18you keep a bit of space from her.

01:05:19Lila wasn't blind.

01:05:20She was seeing through the lies.

01:05:21That small piece of evidence

01:05:23would crack everything apart.

01:05:24If something's wrong,

01:05:25you can lean on me.

01:05:28I'm fine.

01:05:30Nothing happened.

01:05:35Why are her hands so red?

01:05:37What did she touch?

01:05:38Pearson?

01:05:38She knows it's a trap,

01:05:40yet she goes.

01:05:41You're going to want to hear this.

01:05:42Get to the point.

01:05:43I dropped by the club

01:05:43where Pearson Hammond used to work.

01:05:45Guess who I ran into?

01:05:45Mrs. Nash.

01:05:46What the hell was she doing there?

01:05:47She booked a few of their

01:05:48top-of-storters

01:05:49and reserved the VIP suite.

01:05:50Quite the experience.

01:05:51Give me your measurements.

01:05:54Five inches.

01:05:55Five inched?

01:05:56Six and a half.

01:05:58Four inches.

01:05:59Four and a half.

01:06:00You.

01:06:01Name your price.

01:06:02Five thousand deposit.

01:06:04Balance on completion.

01:06:05Full payment upon satisfaction.

01:06:08Deal.

01:06:09Bates' wheel stops at my feet.

01:06:14Mrs. Nash.

01:06:15Fancy meeting you.

01:06:16Need a ride?

01:06:17No, thanks.

01:06:18Are you sure?

01:06:19His presence cuts like ice.

01:06:21If he can't change your mind,

01:06:23what about me?

01:06:25How did you track me down?

01:06:27Get in the car.

01:06:29Didn't take you for someone

01:06:30with such stamina.

01:06:32Four men in one night?

01:06:32Are you spying on me?

01:06:33Are you cheating on me?

01:06:34The wrong idea.

01:06:35Mr. Nash and I just wrapped up

01:06:36a meeting nearby.

01:06:37Total coincidence running into you.

01:06:38Impressive.

01:06:39The Nash family really is expanding

01:06:40into every imaginable sector,

01:06:42isn't it?

01:06:42Good.

01:06:43You asked for this.

01:06:46Some truths hide in silence.

01:06:50The rules were set by you.

01:06:53That's right.

01:06:54Just closed the deal.

01:06:55I own it now.

01:06:57You?

01:06:58Bought that nightclub?

01:06:59Why would you do that?

01:07:00I got bored.

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

01:07:03No big deal.

01:07:04We agreed to keep our personal lives separate.

01:07:06Did I stop you?

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

01:07:12Relax.

01:07:13I'll delete the video.

01:07:15How thoughtful of you.

01:07:18You're welcome.

01:07:20And if your dad asks where I am?

01:07:22I'll tell him the truth.

01:07:23Booking four male escorts.

01:07:25I wasn't hiring them for myself.

01:07:28Then explain that to my dad.

01:07:33Okay.

01:07:34We'll go there.

01:07:35You could have at least asked me first.

01:07:37Then don't come.

01:07:38I'll go alone.

01:07:44Tough day at work, sweetheart.

01:07:46She's just tired.

01:07:47From the bedroom gymnastics.

01:07:49I nearly choked on my own breath.

01:07:51Dad, heard of the nightclub on Hillside Road?

01:07:56The gigolos were too noisy.

01:07:58You don't need to tell me about every little business purchase.

01:08:01That rare winter storm seemed to be.

01:08:04Thunder jolted me away.

01:08:06And I instinctively reached for comfort.

01:08:08I realized that no matter how much he torments me,

01:08:10I still depend on him.

01:08:12It's our curse.

01:08:13What's wrong?

01:08:13And also our salvation.

01:08:17It's only thunder.

01:08:20Why are you leaving?

01:08:22I won't leave.

01:08:28Sorry.

01:08:29I had a nightmare.

01:08:31The thunder scared me and I...

01:08:32Lost my senses for a bit.

01:08:35And then what?

01:08:36Pretend none of it happened?

01:08:43The housekeeper said you've been practicing piano at a studio.

01:08:47Yeah.

01:08:47Then stay home and play a few pieces for me today.

01:08:50But there's no piano at home.

01:08:52I'll have one sent over now.

01:08:54Is piano business really on standby all night?

01:08:56It's dawn.

01:08:57And everyone should be asleep.

01:08:59Yet you made one call and this arrived like magic.

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

01:09:03They're treated like royalty.

01:09:04They call to ask about our schedules.

01:09:06So are you impressed by my wealth or annoyed I ruined someone's sleep?

01:09:09Both.

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

01:09:11I do.

01:09:12Lila claims you're nearly a master, but you're still in training?

01:09:14I'm still a beginner.

01:09:15Others are way ahead.

01:09:16Like standing on top of a skyscraper while I'm still climbing floor by floor.

01:09:19Do you like it?

01:09:19I do.

01:09:20Then stop going to piano studio to practice.

01:09:21From now on, do it here.

01:09:22I'll arrange a tutor.

01:09:27I'm done practicing.

01:09:29Have you finished work?

01:09:30There's always something else that needs handling.

01:09:32You've changed lately.

01:09:33You're being unusually kind.

01:09:35What's going on?

01:09:39I thought it was just a simple light.

01:09:44Want to give it a shot?

01:09:51Easy now.

01:09:52You're supposed to take a puff, not swallow it whole.

01:09:58I didn't expect him to kiss me.

01:10:00And I didn't expect this kiss to make me forget to breathe.

01:10:04Breakfast is ready?

01:10:06Oh my.

01:10:08It's not what it looks like.

01:10:16Maybe our turn's coming sooner than you think.

01:10:25I tried not to think about him, but that kiss, that touch, still lingers on my lips.

01:10:35Julian handled my father, protected me, paid me well.

01:10:38Have you ever chased after someone before?

01:10:40Back in high school, I had a thing for this popular guy.

01:10:43Chased him around for a bit, but once he turned me down, I lost interest fast.

01:10:47What if someone you once liked suddenly came back, hiding behind a fake identity, and somehow you ended up in

01:10:52bed with him?

01:10:53How would you face him after that without feeling humiliated?

01:10:57Oh honey, you definitely to the right person.

01:10:59If that were me, I wouldn't say a thing.

01:11:02I'd keep up the act and enjoy the sex until I got bored with it.

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

01:11:14Tried a new recipe.

01:11:15Want to taste it?

01:11:17Cream recalled Mr. A.

01:11:19Julian's allergy rules him out.

01:11:21What's with the sudden kindness?

01:11:23No drugs in it.

01:11:25You bought me that piano.

01:11:27Consider this a thank you.

01:11:30That wasn't real, Cream.

01:11:31No reason to take meds.

01:11:32Seriously?

01:11:33Why didn't you take any medicine?

01:11:35How did you know?

01:11:36Because you wouldn't risk it.

01:11:37You wouldn't use real cream.

01:11:39Not on me.

01:11:39You wouldn't let me suffer.

01:11:40Even if you're testing me, you couldn't bear it.

01:11:47Who said I was testing you?

01:11:50His name lit up the screen.

01:11:52My heart skipped a beat.

01:11:53The nightmare was far from over.

01:11:55Kathy, how's my surprise coming along?

01:11:58Let's talk over dinner.

01:12:00I'll swing by around 11.

01:12:02Yet I had to stay strong.

01:12:03Sure.

01:12:04Just send me the restaurant address.

01:12:06I'll meet you there.

01:12:08What I didn't know was, at this very moment, he was silently watching my every move.

01:12:14Sir, are you sure it's a good idea to let Mrs. Nash deal with that man on her own?

01:12:17She kicked me in the shin once so hard I limped for a week.

01:12:21Trust me, dealing with a gigolo like Pearson Lewis is nothing she can't handle.

01:12:26Sir, Mrs. Nash is brilliant.

01:12:28When Pearson tried to hold her hand, she tore off the tablecloth.

01:12:30A candle nearly burned him.

01:12:32She pretended to panic, stomping it out while apologizing politely.

01:12:35That was the first time I saw such a genuine smile on him.

01:12:38But that smile pierced another woman's heart.

01:12:41In the late night hospital room, I held my brother's clean underwear, only to let him see what I'd hidden

01:12:46most.

01:12:46Why are you here?

01:12:47You're the one taking care of this?

01:12:49There's a caregiver for him, isn't there?

01:12:51She's off duty right now.

01:12:52I came by to visit and saw he'd wet himself, so I didn't want him catching a ch-

01:12:56Please, have a seat.

01:12:58They don't need to do that.

01:13:00That won't be necessary.

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

01:13:02Yes, of course.

01:13:03Go on, Cathy.

01:13:05As I sat in Julian's car, my phone kept buzzing.

01:13:09Messages from my stepmother were always like this sweet yet stabbing,

01:13:12each one a reminder of how much I owed her.

01:13:15And him, his care was always like this, hidden beneath cold words.

01:13:20Thanks for coming to get me tonight.

01:13:21Didn't want you to reflect badly on me.

01:13:24Those marks, what are they from?

01:13:26Wild night, a woman left them there.

01:13:28Which woman?

01:13:32I thought I was playing him, but little did I know, I was the one walking into his trap.

01:13:37Wait, I'm not ready.

01:13:38Let's talk.

01:13:57Next time, I'll let you see my face.

01:14:02After it was over, he said something that completely threw me off.

01:14:06Meanwhile, an evil alliance plotted a greater betrayal.

01:14:09Screw this up, and I'll forward those photos to Lila.

01:14:12You're just a parasite.

01:14:14You've got cash.

01:14:15Maybe you should fund my lifestyle.

01:14:21Bring the dress to my studio.

01:14:23It's in a hotel.

01:14:25This time, I brought backup.

01:14:28Pearson, your nightmare has only just begun.

01:14:31He thought he'd won, but little did he know my backup had arrived.

01:14:35Perfect.

01:14:38And who might you be?

01:14:41I'm here for the dress fitting.

01:14:44Please, come in.

01:14:45While he was busy lost in lust, I was busy collecting every piece of evidence against him.

01:14:51Pearson, this game I won.

01:14:54Thought I was a helpless lamb?

01:14:56No, I'm a hunter in sheep's clothing.

01:14:58Pearson, your karma has arrived.

01:15:03That condescending smile showed me his true colors.

01:15:05He wanted to use my reputation to satisfy his twisted desires.

01:15:09I like you.

01:15:10I want to sleep with you.

01:15:12Clear enough?

01:15:13Hidden camera.

01:15:14Force me, film it, then spread it?

01:15:17Sharp.

01:15:17Scared to be seen as a slut?

01:15:19And what about Lila?

01:15:20Going to throw away your golden ticket for this?

01:15:23I'll say you drugged me.

01:15:25She's so in love with me, she'll believe whatever I say.

01:15:29I had just left the battlefield, but another hunter was already waiting.

01:15:33She thought she had dirt on me, but she didn't know she was walking into another trap.

01:15:37Caught you!

01:15:38Julian!

01:15:39Catherine's in bed with a man right now!

01:15:40Didn't learn your lesson?

01:15:42Want another?

01:15:44Yes.

01:15:45Take a look.

01:15:46Isn't this your wife?

01:15:48This photo doesn't feel right.

01:15:53Let's go check it out.

01:15:55Eloise followed me for a month, waiting for this moment she thought she had dirt on me,

01:15:59but walked right into my trap.

01:16:01Miss Grant!

01:16:01What are you doing here?

01:16:02Meeting my boyfriend, what about you?

01:16:04Catherine's with a man in this room, who's staking you or us.

01:16:07Seems like your show.

01:16:08Go on, Mr. Nash.

01:16:09Ladies first.

01:16:10The door opened, and everyone saw the mess inside.

01:16:13Yet truth often hides in the most unexpected places.

01:16:16Too intense!

01:16:17Julian, better not look!

01:16:19Still hiding?

01:16:20Let's see!

01:16:23I never would have thought that even Eloise, who is usually outspoken, was completely stunned

01:16:28by this sudden shock.

01:16:29And you are?

01:16:32Why should I explain myself?

01:16:34Did you ask before barging into my private space?

01:16:36Where's Catherine?

01:16:37What's going on?

01:16:38Catherine?

01:16:39Never heard the name.

01:16:40I can tell that this man has just finished a private meeting and is about to tidy his appearance.

01:16:44He immediately remembered that this person was a former colleague he had met at the nightclub,

01:16:48who had been a dancer, homosexual, and had even dressed as a woman.

01:16:52No!

01:16:53No!

01:16:54Leela!

01:16:54Wait!

01:16:55Darling, don't go!

01:16:56Call a doctor!

01:16:58Of course it's you.

01:17:00No one else but Eloise would go to such lengths.

01:17:06I captured something entertaining.

01:17:08Just editing the video now.

01:17:10What video, bitch?

01:17:11Give me the name of whoever set this up, and this video disappears.

01:17:15I'll tell you everything!

01:17:17Messing with you was the fun part.

01:17:19I already know who's behind it.

01:17:21Feeling that pounding in your chest, Eloise?

01:17:25Is that right?

01:17:26People who live off cheeks rarely get a happy ending.

01:17:31Who's good, who?

01:17:34Your Christmas present is ready.

01:17:36Would you like it sent to your place tomorrow?

01:17:38Who made it?

01:17:39I did.

01:17:43Lena, it was always real between us.

01:17:46Catherine did this.

01:17:47She's obsessed.

01:17:51You weren't nearly this loud the last time we met.

01:17:54And now you're blaming your disgrace on Catherine?

01:17:58But you did cross Catherine.

01:18:04She belongs to you.

01:18:06She's mine.

01:18:08Julian's statement had barely settled.

01:18:10When Louisa's complexion turned ghostly, Lila's gaze turned toward me.

01:18:14She wore that familiar, cunning smile.

01:18:16Get out of here!

01:18:17Feeling overwhelmed by guilt, Eloise tried to sneak away quietly.

01:18:20But Julian wasn't done with her yet.

01:18:24Miss Nash, your brother instructed me to take you home safely.

01:18:27I'm not going back!

01:18:28Let me out right now!

01:18:29She thought of Lawrence's rage, screaming and kicking.

01:18:32The driver relayed Julian's orders, polite yet firm.

01:18:35He said if you refuse to cooperate.

01:18:37Once Pearson confesses everything, the police will happily give you your own cell.

01:18:41The driver stayed calm, issuing a final warning.

01:18:44Fear surged through her veins as she realized someone must have tipped off.

01:18:48Outside, the city blurred her freedom, slipping away.

01:18:51Mr. Nash, we've arrived.

01:18:54Miss Nash is in the back seat.

01:18:55Eloise was helped out of the car by the driver and staggered too, toward the entrance of the

01:18:59manor.

01:19:00Her legs went weak, and she could barely stand.

01:19:02Julian, please.

01:19:03She glanced back, eyes despairing at her lost freedom.

01:19:07Eloise tried to flee, but the driver stopped her.

01:19:09The gate slammed shut, crushing her last hope.

01:19:16I'm her man.

01:19:17Did he really say that?

01:19:20You're staring like you're about to leap into my lap.

01:19:22When your sister burst in trying to expose me, your reaction was just... off.

01:19:27Why?

01:19:28I figured some of it out beforehand.

01:19:30Wait.

01:19:31How could you have possibly known?

01:19:33You really thought I bought that dump of a nightclub for my own entertainment?

01:19:37Feeling smug after shutting a lease down like that?

01:19:40Honestly?

01:19:41Yeah.

01:19:42Then come upstairs and cook something.

01:19:43We should toast your little victory.

01:19:45Come on.

01:19:46Just a bit more space.

01:19:47One last box.

01:19:48I promise.

01:19:51What the hell are you doing?

01:19:53I didn't do anything.

01:19:54Seems the blade found its seat.

01:19:57You've put in a lot of effort.

01:19:58Swing by my assistant's office before you head out.

01:20:00There's a bonus waiting for you.

01:20:01If you weren't punting the serve, I've cooled a dessert.

01:20:07It was too rich.

01:20:10Have you eaten yet, Casey?

01:20:12Do you want to turn my office into a cafe?

01:20:18What do you want?

01:20:19No.

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

01:20:23According to her, you were the one who came up with the plan to have Pearson set Catherine up.

01:20:28Let me show you something.

01:20:30You'll see what really happened.

01:20:32You kept that recording, huh?

01:20:33Was it only meant for today, or did you always intend to wield it against a leash?

01:20:37Julian, I swear, I wasn't trying to hurt her.

01:20:38I only saved that recording to protect myself.

01:20:41It wasn't meant for-

01:20:41Cut the act.

01:20:42You and I both know exactly what games you're playing.

01:20:44Julian, I didn't mean I'm sorry.

01:20:46You can keep that apology.

01:20:48Give it to Elise.

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

01:21:17I never thought the sound of my terrible piano playing would be something he'd actually enjoy.

01:21:21But looking at him there, so relaxed in my chaos, I wondered what kind of person finds comfort in discord.

01:21:28Come to me.

01:21:30I have work to finish.

01:21:32If it's important, we'll talk later.

01:21:36Wrapped up your music, Mrs. Nash?

01:21:37Why not sit with Mr. Nash and have some fruit?

01:21:40Why would I care about him?

01:21:42Hold on.

01:21:43He requested for pineapple?

01:21:45Why would a man who can't stand anything sweet and sour suddenly ask for it?

01:21:49When Catherine returned, did she say anything?

01:21:55I'll see you inside.

01:22:02You think this is over?

01:22:04Don't kid yourself!

01:22:05As long as I'm around, you'll never have peace!

01:22:08You and Julian share the same father, but the gap between you two is staggering.

01:22:12You've been used as a tool, left to deal with the fallout, and you still don't see it.

01:22:18Elish, my brother's finally getting a break from work.

01:22:20He's been under so much pressure.

01:22:21I picked up a really nice bottle of wine.

01:22:23When you're feeling better, not bring it over and share a drink with him.

01:22:30Why do you smell like pineapple?

01:22:32Eating a lot of it makes things taste better.

01:22:34Taste better?

01:22:35What things?

01:22:35You'd regret asking.

01:22:37Poop sweet?

01:22:37Wait, oh my god, Julian, don't tell me you've actually tried po-

01:22:40Louisa dropped by the firm earlier.

01:22:42She was asking about Elena.

01:22:47Julian!

01:22:49His lips were soft against mine, and for a moment, just a moment, I forgot about everything else.

01:22:54But then reality crashed back.

01:22:56Wednesday night, be there, same location.

01:22:59That explanation he gave me, was it really an explanation?

01:23:03The hotel manager will be waiting for you in the lobby.

01:23:05She'll take you upstairs, I'll be up in half an hour.

01:23:20Mr. A asked me to give this to you.

01:23:22If you don't mind, I'll need to cover your eyes before I take you to the room.

01:23:26The soft fabric felt just like Mr. A's blindfold.

01:23:30Blindfolded already?

01:23:32Did Mr. Nash switch rooms this time?

01:23:35Yes.

01:23:36Uh, I mean, who's Mr. Nash?

01:23:46From this moment on, whatever I tell you to do, you do it.

01:23:49No questions.

01:23:51I waited, keeping the blindfold on.

01:23:54Giving him control showed my trust.

01:23:56The sofa relaxed me, but my heart raced.

01:24:07Mr. A?

01:24:11Fear overwhelmed me.

01:24:13As his lips touched my collarbone mole, I felt safe.

01:24:17So, do you know who I am now?

01:24:20Still don't get it?

01:24:21Still don't know who's making you feel like this?

01:24:23You jerk!

01:24:24Tell me.

01:24:25Who's the monster to you?

01:24:27Mr. A?

01:24:28Or Julian Nash?

01:24:29Mr. A!

01:24:30Doesn't make a difference.

01:24:44There had been many nights like this.

01:24:47Waiting.

01:24:48No matter how sleepy or exhausted I was.

01:24:52Just for the chance to see him.

01:25:01Julian, wear your coat.

01:25:03You're freezing.

01:25:03Take care of yourself.

01:25:04It's nothing.

01:25:11Do you love her?

01:25:15I'm not into love stories.

01:25:16I've been doing lately, but I can't let her always suffer.

01:25:19Can I?

01:25:33So, this was Mr. A's secret.

01:25:38Mr. Nash is back.

01:25:45Did you have anything to eat yet?

01:25:47Want some coffee?

01:25:48Sure.

01:25:49I didn't want to admit it, but my body remembered.

01:25:52I knew what I wanted, but I was afraid to admit it.

01:25:56He remembered, and I actually felt touched.

01:25:58Happy now?

01:25:59Let me see your neck.

01:26:01I know he hates oranges.

01:26:03Stick out your tongue.

01:26:08It's still daytime, and we're right by the door.

01:26:11The housekeeper hasn't even left yet.

01:26:13He pressed closer, and I had no choice but to surrender in broad daylight.

01:26:17She knows better.

01:26:19She's long gone by now.

01:26:22Okay.

01:26:27The moment his fingertips pressed against my neck, I knew I wouldn't escape unscathed.

01:26:32Good girl.

01:26:35I thought it would escalate, but he only kissed my chin, toying with my shame.

01:26:39Are you kidding me?

01:26:43Why do I have to close my eyes?

01:26:46Just playing around.

01:26:48He turned my shame into a game, kiss me, then I'm out of here, and left me to pick up

01:26:53the pieces.

01:26:59Need a ride?

01:27:00How come he's here?

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

01:27:02Get in.

01:27:03I'll take you home.

01:27:10He said he needed to go in and buy something.

01:27:13I just waited in the car.

01:27:16He's back, with that box in his hand.

01:27:19Didn't you already grab some at the mall before?

01:27:21Didn't get enough.

01:27:25His hand over mine, warm, safe, like a dream I never want to wake from.

01:27:30Why now?

01:27:30You don't even know how to play.

01:27:32Just to kill time.

01:27:34Just to kill time, he says lightly, but ripples stir in my heart.

01:27:38And the phone rang, interrupting everything.

01:27:40Mr. Nash, it's Louisa's assistant.

01:27:42Something terrible has happened.

01:27:44What's going on?

01:27:45The client made a move on Louisa.

01:27:46He locked her in.

01:27:48Please, Mr. Nash, you have to come quickly.

01:27:49Send me the location.

01:27:50He suddenly got a call, then rushed off.

01:27:53No explanation, no goodbye.

01:27:58Julian?

01:27:59Have your assistant call Ernest.

01:28:03I'm the one who caused this.

01:28:05How much more of a mess are you planning to make?

01:28:19This is it.

01:28:20He said to come pick him up.

01:28:25Cold wind howled outside, drowning out all noise.

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

01:28:31I couldn't hear what Julian was saying, and honestly, I was relieved.

01:28:34Because if I had heard what he said, I wasn't sure I'd have had strength to stay on my feet.

01:28:38I shouldn't have come.

01:28:46I should have known someone else had already taken my place.

01:28:51I should have known earlier.

01:28:53It was foolish of me to rush over like that, all because of one brief phone call.

01:29:03Please, pick up the phone.

01:29:09From the moment I saw Louisa and Julian together, I knew my heart was already in tears.

01:29:16Madam!

01:29:17I didn't want anything from him, not even concern.

01:29:28I have a high fever.

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

01:29:31Gathering my last strength, I shoved him away with both palms.

01:29:34I have a high fever.

01:29:35I have a high fever.

01:29:37I have a high fever.
