00:00:03Urgent?
00:00:05Urgent 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.
00:00:43There'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.
00:02:38Wipe 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. Her culture is just... relaxed. I swear
00:02:50I'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.
00:03:25I saw the name. Sweetheart Wild Thing.
00:03:48Clear 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 This card's no longer valid.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.
00:04:16What's gotten into you? You're disgraceful!
00:04:24How dare you lay a hand on him!
00:04:27You lay a hand on me again, and I'll hit him twice as hard.
00:04:32Didn't I have every reason to slap you?
00:04:36She's scandalous!
00:04:37She'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.
00:04:52I'll kill you!
00:04:52You're so brave enough.
00:04:52I must be a mother.
00:04:58I'll kill you!
00:04:58I'm sorry.
00:04:59I'm sorry.
00:05:00I'll kill you.
00:05:01I'll kill you, I'll kill you.
00:05:10even if I walk in on you in bed
00:05:12I should protect the family name
00:05:14she's just a friend
00:05:18all right then I'll go find myself a friend too
00:05:21and I'll do everything you and Haley have done
00:05:25and you dear husband
00:05:28don't get jealous
00:05:49Mark, this is the end of us
00:06:02this ring has trapped me for three years
00:06:05it's time to end it
00:06:21whiskey on the rocks
00:06:28where the hell is she
00:06:54same
00:07:01she wouldn't dare go to someone else
00:07:04calm down, she's just throwing a fit
00:07:06insane woman, what a disgrace
00:07:18wanna be my one night stand
00:07:22don't worry, I'm fun and clean
00:07:25ma'am, you're drunk
00:07:27don't worry, I'm so glad I can see you in bed
00:07:59We're going home.
00:08:02I'm not going anywhere.
00:08:05What are you doing acting like this?
00:08:14She doesn't want to. Don't force her.
00:08:17Who are you? This is none of your business.
00:08:25He's my friend.
00:08:27All right, then. I'll go find myself a friend, too.
00:08:30And I'll do everything you and Haley have done.
00:08:36Mark, calm down. Let's go.
00:08:40Friends? Is that what you call it last night?
00:08:45Stop lying.
00:08:47Stop acting.
00:08:49I see right through you.
00:08:56Let's go. Now!
00:09:00I said don't force her.
00:09:10I want a divorce.
00:09:16No! We don't do divorce!
00:09:22I'm sorry. It's Saria.
00:09:45I'm sorry, it's Saria.
00:10:05The big shot is coming today.
00:10:08Just focus on work.
00:10:20He's so hot.
00:10:22You're flushing.
00:10:25I'm William, your project lead.
00:10:29I believe we are in fact, you know.
00:10:31Report, and I believe you are.
00:10:32Never put on a target.
00:10:35Stella, your turn.
00:10:40The core of this patent is its innovative approach to energy harvesting.

00:10:49END
00:10:55END
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?
00:12:04None 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.
00:12:21We're talking at home.
00:12:22You don't get aевersual room.
00:12:58You really dare leave me?
00:13:03Stop this. Let's fix this.
00:13:07It's too late.
00:13:24A friend brought back a box of ultra-thin condoms from Raskate.
00:13:28Want to give them a try tonight?
00:14:09Stella, don't be like this. You 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. Something to remember.
00:14:22I won't take long.
00:14:33Two, one.
00:14:39Stella, something urgent came up at the office. I've got to go.
00:14:44Don't wait up for me. Just 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. How come Mark's back so early today?
00:15:40What are you burning?
00:15:42Nothing important. Just old junk. Why are you back?
00:15:45Forgot something. I'll just run upstairs and grab it.
00:15:54I'm sorry, Stella. Work has been non-stop. I promise I'll make it up to you.
00:15:59His phone lit up. I 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. I had an accident, my period, and he lent me his coat. I'm just returning it.
00:16:36Relax. He's in meetings all day. You won't catch him.
00:16:39Mr. 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. It was my husband Mark's assistant, calling about the patents I'd let him use for free for
00:17:01years.
00:17:05He can't even call me himself. He sends an assistant to handle business.
00:17:10Tell him not to bother. I'm coming to the office. Today.
00:17:30Mrs. Walsh. It's been a while. What brings you in?
00:17:34I'm here to sign a contract. Is Mark in his office?
00:17:38He should be. Yes.
00:17:43Mrs. Walsh, you're here.
00:17:46Let me show you to the legal department.
00:17:48I know the way, Cody. Move.
00:17:55Please, maybe we should wait. He's in a meeting.
00:17:59Stop it.
00:18:00You love it.
00:18:02A meeting? Is that what he calls her?
00:18:05Mrs. Walsh, it's not what it looks like.
00:18:08It looks like my husband is entertaining a guest. I should go say hello.
00:18:19Urgent?
00:18:21Urgent to be in someone else's bed.
00:18:28I've made my decision about the classified research project.
00:18:30Who's the candidate?
00:18:32Me. I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms.
00:18:35Okay.
00:18:49Miss me, babe?
00:18:52Here. A gift.
00:18:54You'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. You like it, don't you?
00:19:05If it's truly one of a kind, then yes, I love it.
00:19:12Sell this, ASAP. Send the money here.
00:19:30Come here. Give me a hug.
00:19:32Something urgent came up at the Institute. I've got to leave now.
00:19:39Once work calms down, let's go to Midstream Island.
00:19:45Same every day. Feelings and pain.
00:19:47Sure. When things settle down.
00:19:55Mrs. Walsh, are you okay? He pushed you so hard.
00:19:58Get your hands off me, Cody.
00:20:00Stella, enough with the drama. I already told you, this isn't what you think.
00:20:03Why do you keep attacking Haley?
00:20:04Mrs. Smith, I'm sorry on her behalf. She 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. I'll leave when I'm done.
00:20:19But Mark, you are truly disgusting.
00:20:28I'm done selling my patent.
00:20:30The contract has expired and our partnership is over.
00:20:33Mrs. 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.
00:20:49Let'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.
00:20:55If 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.
00:21:06Stella!
00:21:08Stella!
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.
00:21:44Yes, 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.
00:22:01Stella!
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!
00:22:30Maybe 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?
00:22:53And 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.
00:23:13Hearing your voice disgusts me.
00:23:14I don't, Estella.
00:23:17Let me just rex.
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,
00:23:26that 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.
00:24:06Right.
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.
00:24:18Today 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?
00:24:30Stella, 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!
00:25:23The 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!
00:25:51They've made adjustments to the team for the closed project.
00:25:56What 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.
00:26:23His 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.
00:26:36It'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?
00:26:59I 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.
00:27:17Didn'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.
00:27:30The patent.
00:27:31If you're so desperate for a vacation,
00:27:33why don't you take Hayley instead?
00:27:39Stella, 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.
00:28:20All right, what is it you wanted to say?
00:28:22Stella, there's nothing going on with Hayley.
00:28:25This 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 Hayley 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 Hayley happy?
00:29:03I'm being honest.
00:29:05A strong company benefits us both.
00:29:07We're married, Stella.
00:29:09Isn't it normal for a couple to support each other?
00:29:12Normal?
00:29:13You have the nerve to call this normal?
00:29:18This is my patent.
00:29:20I've changed my mind.
00:29:21I'm not selling.
00:29:23And no one, not even you, have the right to force me.
00:29:29Enough.
00:29:31This conversation is over.
00:29:33Go to the office tomorrow and sign the renewal.
00:29:37Don't act like a child.
00:30:14Hey, Allegra, what's going on?
00:30:17Miss Russell?
00:30:20Mr. Walsh asked me to inform.
00:30:23Stoke harsh to better inform you.
00:30:25You need to come to the office today.
00:30:28I'm sorry, Allegra, but I've decided not to work with your company anymore.
00:30:32I won't be coming in.
00:30:33I know you've made up your mind, but Mr. Walsh said if you don't come, it would be my error.
00:30:39He said I could lose my job.
00:30:42Wait, are you saying Mark would fire you just because I refused to come?
00:30:46He said he'd make sure no one else in the industry hires me.
00:30:50I know this is emotional blackmail, but it's fine.
00:30:53I'll find a way.
00:30:58That shameless bastard.
00:31:01Miss Russell, please don't make it worse for yourself because of me.
00:31:05I'll come.
00:31:08Don't worry, Allegra.
00:31:10This isn't your fault.
00:31:12He's targeting me, not you.
00:31:14I won't let you lose your job over this.
00:31:17Thank you so much, Miss Russell.
00:31:30Mrs. Walsh, what are you doing here?
00:31:32You shouldn't go in.
00:31:33That Haley girl is targeting you.
00:31:35She's scolding the whole team, calling them useless for not landing the deal.
00:31:40It's all right, Evie.
00:31:43Well, look who finally decided to show up.
00:31:46You were so high and mighty yesterday, acting like you didn't need the contract.
00:31:50And now, you're back to sign it.
00:31:53If you were going to crawl back anyway, what was all that drama for?
00:31:59What the hell are you pretending for?
00:32:02If Mark hadn't dragged innocent people into this, I wouldn't be here.
00:32:06So this is your talent?
00:32:07Manipulating people who have nothing to do with your feud?
00:32:10Impressive.
00:32:11Stella, all's fair in love and war.
00:32:13If it works, it works.
00:32:14Now sign the damn contract right now.
00:32:16No, I'm not signing anything.
00:32:18You?
00:32:19Mrs. Walsh, please.
00:32:21If something's bothering you, let's talk it through.
00:32:23You are Mr. Walsh's wife.
00:32:25Just tell us what you need.
00:32:26The reason I'm not renewing the contract?
00:32:29Simple.
00:32:29It's her.
00:32:32If you want my signature, tell your Mr. Walsh to show me some sincerity.
00:32:37Start by kicking Haley out of the company and make sure she leaves humiliated.
00:32:43Who do you think you are, Stella?
00:32:45It's just one damn patent.
00:32:47You think this entire company revolves around you?
00:32:51Well, guess what?
00:32:52I'm not going anywhere.
00:32:54Keep dreaming.
00:32:58Mrs. Walsh, wait.
00:32:59Allow me to walk you out.
00:33:01Please, if you don't mind me saying, could you have a word with Mr. Walsh?
00:33:05Haley isn't fit for this role.
00:33:07He still has feelings for you.
00:33:09He'll listen to you.
00:33:21You should have seen her.
00:33:23Take care, Mrs. Walsh.
00:33:36Mark, you should have seen her.
00:33:37She was completely out of line.
00:33:39I was only doing what you told me to, and she turned around and told me to get lost.
00:33:44All right, don't get too worked up.
00:33:46I understand you're angry.
00:33:48Why don't I take you to your favorite place for dinner tonight?
00:33:51No!
00:33:52I want Stella to kneel and apologize to me!
00:33:55Make her mark, please?
00:34:03Haley, you really think you're that important?
00:34:10What did you just say?
00:34:12Stella is my wife, and always will be.
00:34:14What's between us is nothing more than a fling.
00:34:20You're joking, right?
00:34:22If you don't like it, you're free to leave.
00:34:28I was just messing around.
00:34:30Don't be mad.
00:34:31I'll let it go.
00:34:33But you owe me.
00:34:34Fine.
00:34:35Whatever you ask, just leave Stella alone.
00:34:54Hello?
00:34:55There's a party tonight.
00:34:56I got an invite.
00:34:57I'm wiped out.
00:34:59I don't have energy.
00:35:00William's attending.
00:35:01Aren't you hoping to talk to him?
00:35:03I got an invite.
00:35:05All right.
00:35:06I'll come.
00:35:06Send me the details.
00:35:13Mark.
00:35:14You're incredible.
00:35:29Hi, Stella.
00:35:37Stella, what's with this outfit?
00:35:39Is there something wrong with it?
00:35:40We're here to drink, not sign contracts.
00:35:43Good thing I planned ahead.
00:35:44Change now.
00:35:53Isn't this dress too daring?
00:35:55Perfect.
00:35:56You look absolutely gorgeous.
00:36:07Brady, meet Stella.
00:36:08Stella, this is Brady.
00:36:11Hello.
00:36:12Many try to get close to William.
00:36:14Take your time.
00:36:19Mr. Briggs, she has project questions for you.
00:36:32Exactly how long were you thinking of sitting like that?
00:36:41I'm so sorry.
00:36:42Sorry, Mr. Briggs.
00:36:43This wasn't intentional.
00:36:44Just give me a second.
00:36:47You'll have to do better than that.
00:36:49If you're staging an act, put in more effort.
00:36:52That's not what you think.
00:36:53I'm here about the project roster.
00:36:55I'm hoping you'll give me a shot.
00:36:59Is this your way of earning a spot on the team?
00:37:02I have papers and patents.
00:37:04I can bring value to the project.
00:37:07Clearly, your talents stretch past what you let slip.
00:37:12Wait!
00:37:24It was a misunderstanding.
00:37:26I just want to join the project.
00:37:40Explaining will only make it worse.
00:37:52Mark, what are you staring at?
00:37:54Nothing.
00:38:00Mr. Briggs, I meant every word.
00:38:02Please, give it thought.
00:38:04Throwing yourself at me in public?
00:38:06Won't people say I'm playing favorites?
00:38:08It wasn't what you think.
00:38:09It was an accident.
00:38:11You're skilled at attracting men.
00:38:13But I dislike forward women.
00:38:16I take pride in my work.
00:38:17I'm not the woman you think.
00:38:22I won't bother you again.
00:38:30Where's Stella?
00:38:31Didn't she leave with you?
00:38:32Not sure.
00:38:33Looks like she decided to go.
00:38:34Mr. Briggs, I made her wear the dress.
00:38:36She came in a shirt and jeans.
00:38:55Mr. Briggs, I heard you're handpicking top talents for the new project.
00:39:00Go ahead.
00:39:01Stella Russell.
00:39:02She's the author of the field-shaking paper on biologically active factors.
00:39:07So she's the anonymous author of that paper.
00:39:20You were gone all day.
00:39:22Who were you fooling around with?
00:39:23I was in the lab.
00:39:25It's the smell of alcohol, tobacco, and perfume on you that makes me sick.
00:39:29Fine.
00:39:30Have it your way.
00:39:38Stella!
00:39:39Open the door!
00:39:58Good morning, Miss Russell.
00:40:00I'm Luca, Mr. Briggs' assistant.
00:40:02We have an opening to assist Mr. Briggs with document handling, and you're perfect for it.
00:40:06No, thanks, but this position doesn't suit me.
00:40:09I'd rather join a group with my peers.
00:40:11Miss Russell, this is a great opportunity.
00:40:19Is everything settled?
00:40:21Mr. Briggs, Miss Russell turned down the offer.
00:40:25Smart girl.
00:40:31Stella, we just finished today's data.
00:40:33Can you drop it off with Mr. Briggs?
00:40:36Okay.
00:40:41William just set off for the underground garage.
00:40:42It's still possible to catch up.
00:41:05Are you courting death?
00:41:07Mr. Briggs, these files need your immediate review.
00:41:10Get in.
00:41:11We'll go over them as we drive.
00:41:19Stella is my wife.
00:41:20Who is this man?
00:41:22How dare she smile at him like that?
00:41:28You're a lot more tempting now than when you played innocent yesterday.
00:41:32Mr. Briggs, you can just leave the documents here.
00:41:36I won't follow you.
00:41:37Could you drop me off here?
00:41:45That night, I returned to our empty house and started throwing out every memory of Mark.
00:41:50The cups we made on vacation.
00:41:52I remember wishing on a shooting star that we would be happy together forever.
00:41:56What a joke.
00:41:58People change.
00:41:59I see that now.
00:42:09Stella, I waited for you at the Institute for Ages.
00:42:12Did you leave by another exit?
00:42:14I got a lift home with a colleague.
00:42:20Now I have a free week.
00:42:22What do you say we try for a baby?
00:42:25Mark, I've already told you.
00:42:27I don't want a baby right now.
00:42:31But after all these years, you always talked about wanting one before.
00:42:37Before was a long time ago.
00:42:40Tell me, Mark.
00:42:42How are those condoms from Rastgate working out for you?
00:42:46I bet Haley didn't disappoint.
00:42:49You...
00:42:50You knew?
00:42:52All this time?
00:42:53I've always known.
00:42:56Stella, wait!
00:42:57Just let me explain!
00:43:00Stella!
00:43:01Open this door!
00:43:02We need to talk about this!
00:43:07Fine.
00:43:08I'll make you dinner.
00:43:10You always soften up when I cook for you.
00:43:19Wait a minute.
00:43:20Where's her coffee maker?
00:43:22It's always right here on the counter.
00:43:24Stella!
00:43:25What happened to the capsule coffee maker from the kitchen?
00:43:27Where is it?
00:43:36Stella, open up!
00:43:37Where is the coffee machine?
00:43:40It stopped working.
00:43:41I brought it out for repairs.
00:43:43Oh.
00:43:44Well, hey, Stella.
00:43:46I really messed up.
00:43:48Please, give me another chance.
00:43:51I made your favorite meal.
00:43:53Come downstairs and eat with me?
00:43:56I'm not hungry.
00:43:57I think I'll skip it.
00:44:03Okay.
00:44:04What about that coat you got me?
00:44:05I checked the closet.
00:44:06It wasn't there.
00:44:11I got the wrong size.
00:44:13I sent it back.
00:44:14Sent it back?
00:44:16Why not just swap it for another one?
00:44:18Lately, your whole look has shifted.
00:44:20I wasn't sure what you'd actually wear.
00:44:22Anyway, it's not like you're short on clothes.
00:44:25You've got tons already.
00:44:28But you picked that coat for me, Stella.
00:44:30Whatever you choose, I'll always like it.
00:44:34I'm exhausted.
00:44:35I'm turning in for the night.
00:44:53Keep watch on her.
00:44:54I want updates on everything she does.
00:45:05I want to marry Stella and cherish her forever.
00:45:07Only time can prove a promise like that, Mark.
00:45:10We'll be old and worn by then.
00:45:12A lifetime is exactly what I plan to give you.
00:45:15I'll spend every bit of it keeping that promise.
00:45:41Mark, how long are you going to stare at that screen?
00:45:43Look at me for once.
00:45:46Stella's being impossible.
00:45:48Why won't she just sign?
00:45:51Does she really think we're powerless?
00:45:53If she walks away, we'll find someone else.
00:45:55You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:45:57The company is in chaos because of you.
00:46:00Me?
00:46:00I'm just trying to help.
00:46:02Why are Nose Camp not you?
00:46:04She's the one causing problems.
00:46:07Just...
00:46:07be quiet for a moment.
00:46:19What is it?
00:46:21Why did you freeze?
00:46:24Leave.
00:46:27What?
00:46:27But we were just discussing the contract.
00:46:30I said...
00:46:33leave.
00:46:35Now.
00:46:41I'm staying.
00:46:42Unless there's something you're hiding from me, Mark.
00:46:48Why would she be there now?
00:46:50Something isn't right.
00:46:57Legal department.
00:46:58Revite the contracts on my desk immediately.
00:47:02Mark, wait!
00:47:03Where are you going?
00:47:04What's wrong with the contracts?
00:47:06Did I mess something up?
00:47:13Hold on!
00:47:14I spent hours on those!
00:47:16Why are you taking them back?
00:47:17You're nothing but a useless leech!
00:47:21You work in legal, don't you?
00:47:24You just sit there like a statue while I do all the real work.
00:47:28What does this company even pay you for?
00:47:30Decoration?
00:47:31Effective immediately.
00:47:32Forget about your year-end bonus.
00:47:38Mrs. Smith, have you actually looked at the contracts you're so proud of?
00:47:43They don't even follow basic company formatting.
00:47:45It's laughable.
00:47:46A child with half a brain could have done better.
00:47:48You!
00:47:49Who do you think you are talking to me like that?
00:47:51I'll mark fire you on the spot!
00:47:55Too late.
00:47:56My resignation's already been submitted.
00:47:58You missed your chance to kick me out.
00:48:00And since we're being honest,
00:48:02I can't stomach people who climb with favors and destroy families in the process.
00:48:06You tick both boxes.
00:48:09Also, newsflash.
00:48:10Waving your foreign passport around doesn't make you special.
00:48:13Trash from abroad is still trash.
00:48:18You shameless witch!
00:48:20Who gave you the right to talk to me like that?
00:48:22Try acting like you went to college,
00:48:23instead of hurling insults and making a spectacle of yourself.
00:48:26Anyway, I'm not on the payroll anymore.
00:48:28Cut my year-end bonus if it makes you happy.
00:48:30I'm done here.
00:48:32Did you see that?
00:48:34Who knew Alelica had that kind of nerve?
00:48:36She was pushed too far.
00:48:37Some people just dig their own graves.
00:48:39You clueless idiots!
00:48:41Just wait until Mark gets back!
00:48:43I'll make sure every single one of you is out on the street!
00:48:48Stella, you can't keep running yourself into the ground like this.
00:48:52What if you faint?
00:48:54I appreciate it, Lainey.
00:48:56Trust me, I know my limits.
00:48:58Hey, the list just came out!
00:49:00Come on, let's take a look!
00:49:01You could use a breaker.
00:49:08No.
00:49:09I must have skimmed past it.
00:49:10Let me look again, from the top.
00:49:18Lainey?
00:49:19It's not there.
00:49:21My name simply isn't there.
00:49:23What?
00:49:24That's impossible!
00:49:27I'm looking right at it!
00:49:30How can you not be on the list?
00:49:37Hey, it's alright.
00:49:39Missing out on this one isn't the end of the world.
00:49:42I'm fine, really.
00:49:43You sure?
00:49:44You don't look fine.
00:49:45Honestly, I'm okay.
00:49:47Don't fuss over me.
00:49:48Go take care of your own work.
00:49:55If I can't join the project, so be it.
00:49:58The marriage is already finished.
00:50:00It's time to disappear for a while.
00:50:03Miss Russell, try not to let the list get to you.
00:50:06Luca, you really have no talent for comforting people, you know that?
00:50:10Mr. Briggs is hosting a dinner at the Voyage Hotel tonight.
00:50:13If you're not busy, maybe you should come.
00:50:15It might give him a chance to reconsider.
00:50:16You helped him with his plans.
00:50:19If he made up his mind to exclude me, what's the point in showing up to beg?
00:50:22That won't be necessary.
00:50:24Mr. Briggs must have his reasons.
00:50:26I'm sure he's found someone better suited for the team.
00:50:33Mark will discover the divorce agreement sooner or later.
00:50:36He'll move heaven and earth to hunt me down.
00:50:38But his attention is tangled up with Haley now.
00:50:40He won't waste much effort tracking me if I vanish completely from his radar.
00:50:45The farther I run, the safey I'll be.
00:50:52Stella, you're taking leave?
00:50:53Is this because you weren't on the project list?
00:50:56I just need a break, Lainey.
00:50:58You've seen how hard I've been working.
00:51:00You deserve it.
00:51:01You're always the first to arrive and the last to leave.
00:51:04Rest well.
00:51:08Mr. Briggs, that's Ms. Russell.
00:51:09She took extended leave today.
00:51:11She doesn't look happy.
00:51:12Should we tell her the truth about the team selection?
00:51:15She saw us.
00:51:18Sir?
00:51:19She's walking away.
00:51:20Fast.
00:51:21She's running.
00:51:22It's fine.
00:51:23She's not the delicate type.
00:51:24Drive.
00:51:25Pick up the phone, Stella!
00:51:27Where are you?
00:51:32Blocked.
00:51:33She actually blocked my number.
00:51:38If she's not coming home, where is she going?
00:51:46There she is.
00:51:48Finally.
00:51:49Wait a minute.
00:51:53It's the same one she got into before.
00:52:06How could Stella have any tie to William Briggs?
00:52:23Stella, why haven't you come home these past few days?
00:52:26I've just had a lot going on.
00:52:28So being busy means you have to clear out all your things?
00:52:30Half the house is empty, Stella, and everything missing belongs to you.
00:52:35You even blocked my number.
00:52:37And the wedding photo, it's gone.
00:52:39Where did you put everything, Stella?
00:52:41So he finally noticed.
00:52:43I ran into a little financial trouble, so I pawned my things.
00:52:46Once I've sorted things out, I'll get them back.
00:52:48If you needed money, why didn't you just tell me?
00:52:51There was no reason to pawn your things.
00:52:53Take these.
00:52:54Use them for whatever you want.
00:52:57That's not necessary.
00:52:59I've already sorted the money myself.
00:53:01You can keep those cards.
00:53:02Stella, what are you hiding from me?
00:53:04We're still husband and wife.
00:53:05No matter what's going on, good or bad, you can tell me.
00:53:08I'll handle it with you.
00:53:10You don't have to shoulder everything alone.
00:53:15There's nothing to tell.
00:53:17Work's been busy at the Institute, and I have a business trip coming up.
00:53:21I'll be out of town for a while.
00:53:24Wait!
00:53:33Go to the airport.
00:53:40So he's tailing me.
00:53:43So he's tailing me.
00:54:09Ma'am, if you help me out, I'll give you $500.
00:54:12When you head back in, just dump the water from your bucket onto the man waiting outside the restroom.
00:54:18He's been following me since I left home.
00:54:20I'm desperate.
00:54:21Please, if you can pull this off, the money's yours.
00:54:24Please, don't let him know I'm gone.
00:54:26And thank you.
00:54:27Really.
00:54:37What the hell are you doing?
00:54:39Oh my goodness, sir, I'm so sorry.
00:54:40I didn't see you standing there.
00:54:42I thought you were just part of the plumbing.
00:54:45Oh gosh, let me get that for you.
00:54:49Oh my gosh.
00:54:55I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:54:57I'm really sorry.
00:54:59Enough!
00:54:59Just go!
00:55:00Don't bother me!
00:55:07Stella, do you really think this will get rid of me?
00:55:17Hello, Stella.
00:55:18How much longer are you going to keep pestering Mark?
00:55:20He's finished with you.
00:55:22Why don't you have a little dignity and let go?
00:55:24Maybe you need a reminder, Haley.
00:55:26Mark and I are still married.
00:55:27The law is on my side.
00:55:29So tell me, who gave you permission to call me and hurl accusations?
00:55:32I-I-I'm not here to fight with you!
00:55:36Why don't you come over so we can talk face to face?
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.
00:55:47Is this really what the Smith family taught you?
00:55:49To meddle in marriages and play the mistress?
00:55:52It's almost admirable how you can spout this nonsense without a single scrap of dignity.
00:55:58You'd better watch your mouth!
00:55:59I've got better things to do than play along with your bullshit.
00:56:02Maybe try focusing on the Walsh group's plummeting profits instead of pestering me.
00:56:09Stella.
00:56:10How could you speak to Haley like that?
00:56:12So you're her backup.
00:56:14Of course.
00:56:14Siding with anyone you think can benefit your precious son.
00:56:17You better show up right now.
00:56:18Let me make this clear.
00:56:19Clinging to my son will get you nowhere.
00:56:21You are nothing but a burden to our family.
00:56:23Come to the Voyage Hotel immediately.
00:56:24If not, you can face the consequences.
00:56:30Fine.
00:56:31I'm on my way.
00:56:47So, you finally bothered to show up.
00:56:49I want you to divorce my son right now.
00:56:53And why is that?
00:56:54What have you ever done for the Walsh family?
00:56:57You can't even give us a child.
00:56:59Useless.
00:57:00There's no place for a barren hen like you.
00:57:02Her family is nothing.
00:57:04Raised without manners.
00:57:06You shouldn't lower yourself, Jaiselyn.
00:57:09Get those divorce papers ready by Monday.
00:57:12I refuse to tolerate you for one more day.
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, Jaiselyn, 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, why 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.
00:57:51As for the salon visits, I cover those with my own membership.
00:57:54Stella, honestly, isn't this a little beneath you?
00:57:56Or could it be you're not actually ready for this divorce?
00:57:58And you're just making excuses to keep Jaiselyn 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.
00:58:10From 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, I have plenty of connections.
00:58:16I'll handle it all.
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 right now!
00:58:24All right.
00:58:25But 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, maybe spend your energy convincing him instead of wasting mine.
00:58:41She really has no idea what's coming.
00:58:43We gave her the chance to bow out gracefully, and she turned it down.
00:58:47She'll see.
00:58:48Once her name's dragged through the mud, Mark won't even look her way.
00:58:51And by then, leaving won't be her decision anymore.
00:58:54Jaiselyn, you're the best.
00:58:55I swear, I'll be the most loyal daughter-in-law you've ever had.
00:59:27I swear, I'll be the most loyal daughter-in-law you've ever had.
00:59:30choice for the project she's head and shoulders above the others also earlier today when she saw
00:59:36our car she looked hesitant almost anxious and left right after it felt like she didn't want to
00:59:41be misunderstood honestly sir i don't believe she's the kind of woman you perceive her to be

01:12:21girl after what she pulled who could tolerate their wife being with other men
01:12:29you're accusing me of sleeping around hayley do you have proof everyone is talking about it

01:20:25you have nothing what have you ever done besides that one lucky patent if mark hadn't backed you you'd
01:20:34be on the streets he only used it because he felt sorry for you do you seriously think you're some
01:20:40brilliant inventor you are utterly disgraceful stella am i or is it the woman who proudly acts as a
01:20:51mistress in public is this what passes for aristocratic grace in a treaty don't you dare you and your
01:20:59worthless patent my patent is the reason the walsh group has had any success should we review the
01:21:04contracts the ones that show you've never paid me the monthly fees you owe you're lying you have no

01:22:02hers saying
01:22:02you signed a contract doesn't make it real what matters is proof not who can talk the biggest game
01:22:10it's been a while since i've come across such pure stupidity it's almost entertaining william briggs
01:22:16heir to the briggs family and brissette the mu project with the achire royal family and the hookwood
01:22:22research institute all under my name is that enough to qualify for mrs russell's patent
01:22:30stella come here you're still my wife my husband is trying to save face how pathetic oh so you do
01:22:37remember she's your wife mr walsh that's funny i thought the woman beside you was your true match
