00:00:04Urgent to be in someone else's bed.
00:00:11I've made my decision about the classified research project.
00:00:14Who's the candidate?
00:00:16Me. I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms.
00:00:32Miss me, babe?
00:00:35Here. A gift. You'll have to guess the password to open it.
00:00:40You're the only gift I want.
00:00:42There's only one like it in the world. You like it, don't you?
00:00:49If it's truly one of a kind, then yes, I love it.
00:00:55Sell this, ASAP. Send the money here.
00:01:13Come here. Give me a hug.
00:01:16Something urgent came up at the Institute. I've gotta leave now.
00:01:23Once work calms down, let's go to Midstream Island.
00:01:31Sure. When things settle down.
00:01:40You're seriously here to submit the application? You should have discussed it with Mark.
00:01:50That bastard. I'll make him crawl on his knees begging for mercy.
00:01:54Come on. We're going back. I'll make him beg.
00:01:57No. I want him to truly regret everything.
00:02:05Come on, Elmar. Be good.
00:02:09Oh, good.
00:02:10I miss you. Miss you so much.
00:02:32Let go of me!
00:02:34Stella, please let me explain.
00:02:37Wipe her lipstick off your mouth before you start talking.
00:02:43It's not what it looks like. She's the daughter of a potential investor.
00:02:47Her culture is just... relaxed. I swear I'll be more careful.
00:02:51Is that how you secure investments? By getting that close to their daughters?
00:02:55It's for work. Can you not blow this out of proportion?
00:02:59If you're done with me, Mark, just be honest. I'll give you the divorce you want.
00:03:06Don't you ever say that. Divorce is not an option.
00:03:13We work through things.
00:03:17Work through what? Him sleeping with someone else?
00:03:22It's... nothing.
00:03:24I saw the name. Sweetheart Wild Thing.
00:03:47Clear them all out.
00:04:06Sorry. This card's no longer valid.
00:04:09That's a premium card. It can't be cancelled.
00:04:14It's cancelled now.
00:04:15What's gotten into you? You're disgraceful!
00:04:24How dare you lay a hand on him!
00:04:26You lay a hand on me again, and I'll hit him twice as hard.
00:04:31Didn't I have every reason to slap you?
00:04:35She's scandalous!
00:04:37She's scandalous!
00:04:37If you're so brave enough to be a lover, don't finish being innocent.
00:04:42I speak 16 languages.
00:04:43I'm gonna miss you.
00:04:46I cannot see you.
00:04:47I'm sorry.
00:04:48I need to that promise.
00:04:49Oh, I can't remember.

00:10:40the core of this patent is its innovative approach to energy harvesting
00:11:06I'll see you next time
00:11:16How long do you plan to hide?
00:11:18I wasn't hiding.
00:11:22Put this on.
00:11:30I'll return it later.
00:11:58Who is he?
00:12:00What are you to him?
00:12:03None of your business.
00:12:10It's another man's coat!
00:12:13You're wearing another man's coat!
00:12:15We're divorcing.
00:12:16You don't get to control me.
00:12:20We're talking at home.
00:12:58You really dare leave me?
00:13:03Stop this.
00:13:05Let's fix this.
00:13:07It's too late.
00:13:23A friend brought back a box of ultra-thin condoms from Rascate.
00:13:28Want to give them a try tonight?
00:13:29Why is this?
00:13:35This is a while because I don't do it.
00:13:36Up!
00:13:40Up!
00:13:43Up!
00:14:09Stella, don't be like this.
00:14:11You know you're the only one I care about.
00:14:13Let me freshen up first, okay?
00:14:15No need. I don't mind.
00:14:18I want tonight to feel special.
00:14:20Something to remember.
00:14:22I won't take long.
00:14:33Two, one.
00:14:39Stella, something urgent came up at the office.
00:14:41I've got to go.
00:14:44Don't wait up for me.
00:14:45Just get some rest after your shower.
00:14:54You swore you loved me, but you never even see me.
00:14:58You never saw that I was already gone.
00:15:11Goodbye, Mark.
00:15:14Stella?
00:15:16You... you came back.
00:15:29What are you burning?
00:15:37Weird.
00:15:38How come Mark's back so early today?
00:15:40What are you burning?
00:15:42Nothing important.
00:15:43Just old junk.
00:15:44Why are you back?
00:15:45Forgot something.
00:15:46I'll just run upstairs and grab it.
00:15:53I'm sorry, Stella.
00:15:55Work has been non-stop.
00:15:56I promise I'll make it up to you.
00:15:59His phone lit up.
00:16:00I saw Haley's name.
00:16:02I've got to run.
00:16:04How come he's heading out this late at night?
00:16:06He's definitely got something to hide.
00:16:10The entire box was gone.
00:16:12He took them all for her.
00:16:14He was just in this room and didn't even notice our wedding photo is missing.
00:16:20Now that Mark's not here, I can finally get a proper night's sleep.
00:16:27Lainey, is Mr. Briggs not in today?
00:16:29Why the sudden interest in the boss?
00:16:31It's not like that.
00:16:32I had an accident, my period, and he lent me his coat.
00:16:35I'm just returning it.
00:16:36Relax.
00:16:36He's in meetings all day.
00:16:38You won't catch him.
00:16:38Mr. Briggs, the jacket you lent me was custom made, so I bought another of equal value.
00:16:44If you're not satisfied, feel free to contact me.
00:16:47And I wrote down my number.
00:16:53My phone rang.
00:16:55It was my husband Mark's assistant.
00:16:58Calling about the patents I'd let him use for free for years.
00:17:05He can't even call me himself.
00:17:07He sends an assistant to handle business.
00:17:10Tell him not to bother.
00:17:11I'm coming to the office.
00:17:13Today.
00:17:30Mrs. Walsh.
00:17:31It's been a while.
00:17:33What brings you in?
00:17:34I'm here to sign a contract.
00:17:35Is Mark in his office?
00:17:38He should be.
00:17:39Yes.
00:17:42Mrs. Walsh, you're here.
00:17:46Let me show you to the legal department.
00:17:48I know the way, Cody.
00:17:50Move.
00:17:55Please, maybe we should wait.
00:17:57He's in a meeting.
00:17:59Stop it.
00:18:00You love it.
00:18:02A meeting?
00:18:03Is that what he calls her?
00:18:04Mrs. Walsh, it's not what it looks like.
00:18:08It looks like my husband is entertaining a guest.
00:18:10I should go say hello.
00:18:19Urgent?
00:18:21Urgent to be in someone else's bed.
00:18:27I've made my decision about the classified research project.
00:18:31Who's the candidate?
00:18:32Me.
00:18:33I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms.
00:18:49Miss me, babe?
00:18:51Here.
00:18:52A gift.
00:18:53You'll have to guess the password to open it.
00:18:56You're the only gift I want.
00:18:59There's only one like it in the world.
00:19:01You like it, don't you?
00:19:05If it's truly one of a kind, then yes.
00:19:09I love it.
00:19:12Sell this.
00:19:13Asap.
00:19:14Send the money here.
00:19:30Come here.
00:19:31Give me a hug.
00:19:32Something urgent came up at the Institute.
00:19:34I've got to leave now.
00:19:39Once work calms down, let's go to Midstream Island.
00:19:47Sure.
00:19:48When things settle down.
00:19:55Mrs. Walsh, are you okay?
00:19:56He pushed you so hard.
00:19:58Get your hands off me, Cody.
00:19:59Stella, enough with the drama.
00:20:01I already told you, this isn't what you think.
00:20:02Why do you keep attacking Haley?
00:20:03Wait, Mrs. Smith, I'm sorry on her behalf.
00:20:06She didn't mean it.
00:20:06For you, Mark, I'll let it slide.
00:20:08But she better get lost and stay away from this company.
00:20:12Stella, this is a workplace.
00:20:14Can we not make a scene?
00:20:16Save the fake politeness.
00:20:18I'll leave when I'm done.
00:20:19But Mark, you are truly disgusting.
00:20:28I'm done selling my patent.
00:20:29The contract has expired, and our partnership is over.
00:20:32Mrs. Walsh, is there a problem?
00:20:35This patent is a cornerstone of our business.
00:20:38No issues.
00:20:39I've simply found a new buyer.
00:20:43Stella, if you're upset, take it out on me.
00:20:45Hit me, yell at me, whatever you want.
00:20:47But don't mess around with the patent.
00:20:48Let's talk about this at home.
00:20:50You still think I'm just being emotional?
00:20:52That you can coax me back in line?
00:20:53I'm not joking.
00:20:54The deal is off.
00:20:54If your company continues using my patent,
00:20:56my lawyer will file for compensation.
00:21:00Mr. Walsh, what's going on?
00:21:02If she pulls the patent, we're in trouble.
00:21:03Multiple projects will fail.
00:21:04I'll handle it.
00:21:05Stella!
00:21:07Stella!
00:21:11Stella!
00:21:13Stella!
00:21:14Stella!
00:21:30William, what are you doing in my car?
00:21:32Ms. Russell, if you needed a ride, you could have asked.
00:21:36Climbing into my car like this is a bit bold.
00:21:39I'm so sorry.
00:21:40I didn't realize this was your car.
00:21:41My mistake.
00:21:42I'll get out.
00:21:43Wait.
00:21:43Yes, Mr. Briggs?
00:21:45I saw the note in the jacket you returned.
00:21:47I'd rather you focus on your responsibilities.
00:21:50Show some professionalism.
00:22:00Stella!
00:22:01Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
00:22:03Let me see-
00:22:04Wait.
00:22:05This is already swollen.
00:22:07This wasn't me.
00:22:08What happened?
00:22:09It's okay, Lainey.
00:22:10It's not your fault.
00:22:11I'll be fine.
00:22:12Don't lie to me.
00:22:14You went to see Mark today.
00:22:16Did that scum ad lay a hand on you?
00:22:23Unbelievable!
00:22:24You're his wife!
00:22:26How dare he hit you over some other woman!
00:22:29Maybe he was always this man.
00:22:32And I was just too blind to see it.
00:22:40Speak of the devil.
00:22:41It's Mark.
00:22:50How dare you keep calling her?
00:22:52You cheat on her?
00:22:53You hit her and now you think she wants to hear your voice?
00:22:56I'm her real friend.
00:22:57When you hurt her, it is my business.
00:23:08She's my friend, Mark.
00:23:10The least you can do is show her some respect.
00:23:12Hearing your voice disgusts me.
00:23:15I don't, Estella.
00:23:16I need your strex.
00:23:18You honestly make me sick.
00:23:20You want both women?
00:23:21Do you hear how pathetic that sounds?
00:23:23If your coworks and boss see me, that won't be good for you.
00:23:28So come home.
00:23:32Fine.
00:23:33I'll go back after I finish up here.
00:23:37What if he hits you again?
00:23:39Let me come with you.
00:23:40He won't.
00:23:42Trust me.
00:23:43He wouldn't dare.
00:23:47I had the chef make all your favorites.
00:23:49Come on, let's eat.
00:24:00Stella, about earlier.
00:24:01Haley's family has deep ties to our company.
00:24:03I can't afford to upset them.
00:24:04I went too far with you.
00:24:05Right.
00:24:07That's why I'm giving you full admin access to the security system.
00:24:12This company is yours too.
00:24:13You're half the boss here.
00:24:15I promise.
00:24:16This won't happen again.
00:24:17Today was the last time.
00:24:19Just trust me.
00:24:21Half the boss, huh?
00:24:23Is that your way of saying you'll keep using my patent without paying a cent?
00:24:30Stell, don't be upset.
00:24:32Haley is just a friend.
00:24:34Her parents are important business partners, that's all.
00:24:39A friend?
00:24:41Would you kiss a friend like that?
00:24:43Hold her in your arms in your office?
00:24:45Let's not talk about that.
00:24:48Stella, let's have a baby.
00:24:50A baby?
00:24:51Yes.
00:24:52Didn't you always want one?
00:24:54If we have a child, you'll always be my wife.
00:24:57You won't feel so insecure.
00:25:00Insecure?
00:25:01You think a child is a bargaining chip?
00:25:04A prize for accepting your humiliation?
00:25:09Is the title Mrs. Walsh supposed to make me forget you were with another woman?
00:25:18I have a headache.
00:25:20Maybe some other time.
00:25:22Your head!
00:25:22The injury!
00:25:24I'm so sorry, I should have paid more attention.
00:25:26Let me get the first aid kits.
00:25:32Lainey already took care of it.
00:25:34No need for your concern now.
00:25:39I'll sleep in the study.
00:25:49Stella!
00:25:50They've made adjustments to the team for the closed project.
00:25:55What do you mean?
00:25:57I thought the list was final.
00:25:59It was.
00:26:00But William is on the project now.
00:26:04William.
00:26:05And he's personally reviewing every single person on the team.
00:26:10That means our spots aren't safe anymore.
00:26:15William isn't just a brilliant researcher, Stella.
00:26:17The Briggs family owns half of Brissette.
00:26:19He's just enjoying his freedom before taking over their empire.
00:26:24His family's wealth has nothing to do with my goals.
00:26:26I just need to get on his team.
00:26:28Imagine if you actually won him over.
00:26:30Wouldn't that drive your pathetic husband crazy?
00:26:33A thriving career and a man way better than Mark.
00:26:35It's a win-win!
00:26:37Lainey, my mind is on research.
00:26:39Men in Revenge have no place in my world right now.
00:26:41But I do need to speak with him.
00:26:43Can you help me get a moment alone with Mr. Briggs?
00:26:46A private meeting?
00:26:48Of course!
00:26:50Of course!
00:26:51Leave it to me!
00:26:57You're home!
00:26:58Are you hungry?
00:26:58I can ask the kitchen to make something.
00:27:02I'm not hungry.
00:27:04Eat by yourself.
00:27:09Stella, not eating will harm your health.
00:27:12Please, have at least a little.
00:27:15Looking at you ruins my appetite.
00:27:16Didn't you say you wanted to visit Hoxavi?
00:27:19I'll be free next month.
00:27:20Let's go together.
00:27:23You were always too busy for that trip before.
00:27:26What changed?
00:27:28Oh, right.
00:27:29The patent.
00:27:30If you're so desperate for a vacation, why don't you take Haley instead?
00:27:38Stella, don't talk to me like that.
00:27:41I hate it.
00:27:42I apologized, didn't I?
00:27:44Then how am I supposed to talk to you?
00:27:46Should I sit down and have a pleasant little heart-to-heart about your affair?
00:27:51Yes.
00:27:52We should definitely talk.
00:27:58Fine.
00:28:00If you want to talk, we'll talk.
00:28:02I'm curious what else you think you can get from me.
00:28:19All right, what is it you wanted to say?
00:28:22Stella, there's nothing going on with Haley.
00:28:24This is business.
00:28:26The Smith family collaboration will take our company to the next level.
00:28:30Her father suggested she get experience with us.
00:28:33With her background in international law, the legal department is a perfect fit.
00:28:38And what does her job have to do with me?
00:28:42This is why I brought it up.
00:28:44If your patent stays with us, it'll be the first project Haley takes on.
00:28:49She'll be pleased, her family will be impressed, and it helps our company.
00:28:53You won't turn me down, will you?
00:28:55It's just a renewal.
00:28:59So this whole talk is about using my patent to make Haley happy?
00:29:03I'm being honest.
00:29:04A strong company benefits us both.
00:29:07We're married, Stella.
00:29:09Isn't it normal for a couple to support each other?

00:55:18how much longer are you going to keep pestering mark
00:55:20he's finished with you
00:55:21why don't you have a little dignity and let go
00:55:24maybe you need a reminder hayley
00:55:26mark and i are still married
00:55:27the law is on my side
00:55:28so tell me
00:55:29who gave you permission to call me and hurl accusation

00:55:39it's simple
00:55:40the one who isn't loved is always the third wheel
00:55:44take my advice and know your place
00:55:46is this really what the smith family taught you
00:55:49to meddle in marriages and play the mistress
00:55:52it's almost admirable
00:55:53how you can spout this nonsense
00:55:55without a single scrap of dignity
00:55:57you better watch your mouth
00:55:59i've got better things to do
00:56:00than play along with your bullshit
00:56:02maybe try focusing on the walsh group's plummeting profits
00:56:05instead of pestering me
00:56:09stella
00:56:10how could you speak to hayley like that
00:56:12so you're her backup
00:56:13of course
00:56:14siding with anyone you think can benefit your precious son
00:56:16you better show up right now
00:56:18let me make this clear
00:56:19clinging to my son will get you nowhere

00:56:22come to the voyage hotel immediately
00:56:24if not
00:56:24you can face the consequences

00:56:47so you finally bothered to show up
00:56:49i want you to divorce my son
00:56:51right now
00:56:53and why is that
00:56:54what have you ever done for the walsh family
00:56:56you can't even give us a child
00:56:59useless
00:56:59there's no place for a barren hen like you
00:57:02her family is nothing
00:57:03raised without manners
00:57:06you shouldn't lower yourself jaselyn

00:57:15fine
00:57:16i'll divorce him
00:57:19what do you want out of this stella
00:57:21i'm not making any demands
00:57:23divorce is fine by me
00:57:30but jaselyn i expect you to pay back every cent i spent on your beauty appointments and imported supplements
00:57:36the health supplements you're taking every month
00:57:38why not ask mark who's really footing the bill
00:57:40and everyone at the casino knows exactly how many toes you've stepped on
00:57:45stella don't you dare get greedy with me
00:57:47why should i pay you back a cent
00:57:48those supplements
00:57:49my son paid for them
00:57:50as for the salon visits
00:57:51i cover those with my own membership
00:57:53stella honestly
00:57:54isn't this a little beneath you
00:57:55or could it be you're not actually ready for this divorce
00:57:58and you're just making excuses to keep jason on a leash
00:58:01i'm just laying out the truth here
00:58:03that membership card you're so fond of
00:58:05my friend owns the salon
00:58:06i got you a 90% discount
00:58:08please mrs walsh don't worry
00:58:09from now on i'll make sure you have everything you need
00:58:11your standard of living drop i swear
00:58:13supplements salon treatments

00:58:16these are just the tip of the iceberg
00:58:18fine
00:58:19if you claim all that's gone then so be it
00:58:21but i want you to divorce my son
00:58:23right now
00:58:23all right
00:58:24but a divorce requires both parties to show up
00:58:27if you can get mark here i won't stand in your way
00:58:32if you're so determined
00:58:33maybe spend your energy convincing him
00:58:35instead of wasting mine
00:58:41she really has no idea what's coming
00:58:43we gave her the chance to bow out gracefully
00:58:45and she turned it down
00:58:47she'll see
00:58:48once her name's dragged through the mud
00:58:50mark won't even look her way
00:58:51and by then leaving won't be her decision anymore
00:58:54jaselyn you're the best
00:58:55i swear
00:58:56i'll be the most loyal daughter-in-law you've ever had
00:59:26mr briggs
00:59:28i really believe miss russell is the ideal choice for the project
00:59:31she's head and shoulders above the others
00:59:34also earlier today when she saw our car
00:59:36she looked hesitant
00:59:37almost anxious
00:59:38and left right after
00:59:39it felt like she didn't want to be misunderstood
00:59:41honestly sir
00:59:42i don't believe she's the kind of woman you perceive her to be
00:59:45she's always been composed and respectful in everything she does
00:59:48my attention is needed elsewhere

01:11:26mr walsh
01:11:27our family usually

01:11:29but since hayley has chosen you
01:11:31we won't stand in your way
01:11:32just make sure you resolve things
01:11:33with your ex-wife properly
01:11:35everyone knows the problems
01:11:36in your marriage
01:11:37weren't your fault
01:11:40stella is it
01:11:41after everything you've done

01:11:57you were sleeping around while married
01:11:58openly shameless
01:11:59i used to think you refused to divorce
01:12:01because you had real feelings for mark
