00:00:14My name is Irene Burton. The man before me is Kaken Smith, my lover for three years, and the president
00:00:20of Smith Group.
00:00:24Tomorrow is my birthday. Does he remember?
00:00:36Irene, come to my place tomorrow.
00:00:43Paulina's coming tomorrow. She's not well. Cook something healthy for her.
00:00:46Paulina Moore, his true love. She just got back from overseas with her PhD.
00:00:51When will you end our relationship?
00:00:54You think you can leave me? Would your family agree?
00:00:57I'm just a substitute. Three years ago, my brother Sean sold to me him to clear gambling debts.
00:01:02That night, he whispered Paulina's name the whole time, but I still fell for him.
00:01:08Only an educated woman like Paulina deserves Kaden.
00:01:13Paulina are the only one in my heart.
00:01:18I'll go bathroom.
00:01:33I couldn't take it anymore. This was my only escape.
00:01:39Henry Shaw, a pilot. The man who wanted to marry me.
00:01:43The call fails. I leave a voicemail.
00:01:45Mr. Shaw, does that contractual marriage deal still work?
00:01:50I'm interested now.
00:01:56The rain is pouring, and I walk back to my apartment.
00:02:03No response from Henry.
00:02:05He must not be planning to agree, I guess.
00:02:15Irene, you ungrateful girl.
00:02:19Where's your money?
00:02:21Hand it all over!
00:02:22Tobias!
00:02:23How could it-
00:02:24Why is this drunken lunaturk here again?
00:02:26Your mother wouldn't have died in that crash
00:02:28if it wasn't for saving you!
00:02:31He raises his hand to slap me.
00:02:33I squeeze my eyes shut.
00:02:35Please, somebody help me.
00:02:40The pain never comes.
00:02:42Instead, an agonized howl fills my ears.
00:02:44I open my eyes.
00:02:46A tall man has him by the throat.
00:02:49Henry?
00:02:50How is he here?
00:02:53You messed with the wrong person.
00:02:56Stay out of my sight.
00:02:58That face.
00:02:59Cold, sharp, devastatingly handsome.
00:03:02Are you hurt?
00:03:16Henry chases my father away and follows me to my apartment.
00:03:20He's soaked and takes off his shirt.
00:03:24Do you really want to marry me?
00:03:27No.
00:03:29He steps closer and corners me against the wall.
00:03:32I clench my draw and nod.
00:03:35It's my only way out from Kanan.
00:03:40Three years ago,
00:03:42Kanan dined with Henry to break into aviation.
00:03:45Kanan looked down on him.
00:03:53Henry asked for my number.
00:03:55Later I learned we were betrothed as children.
00:04:05After we marry,
00:04:07you'll play an affectionate wife in front of my mother.
00:04:09She's not well.
00:04:11She can't know the truth.
00:04:14He'll pay me $200,000 a month.
00:04:18I don't need the money.
00:04:20I'll find a job.
00:04:21Whatever you make is yours.
00:04:23What I give you is separate.
00:04:25I don't want your money because I want to keep my dignity.
00:04:28I don't want to feel like you're keeping me.
00:04:34Contract aside,
00:04:36you'll be my wife.
00:04:43I sign it.
00:04:46You have three days to settle your affairs.
00:04:49With a single stroke of the pen,
00:04:51my old life is over.
00:05:00Next day,
00:05:01I pack Kayden's gifts.
00:05:03Henry's secretary,
00:05:04Callie arrives.
00:05:11Let's get you real stuff.
00:05:13She drags me to the mall.
00:05:21I freeze the moment I step inside.
00:05:26Kayden and Paulina.
00:05:27She's in a wedding dress.
00:05:29He's right beside him.
00:05:35Sure enough,
00:05:36he only has Paulina in his heart.
00:05:39He's only playing with me.
00:05:41I'm such a fool,
00:05:42aching for him.
00:05:43This shop is nice.
00:05:45I'll pick out a few pieces for you
00:05:46and you can wander around too.
00:05:48Before I can hide,
00:05:50two women spot me.
00:05:51Medallin and Zoe,
00:05:53my classmates from med school.
00:05:56I used to outperform them
00:05:58and they've held a grudge against me ever since.
00:06:00Hey,
00:06:01look who it is.
00:06:02Irene.
00:06:03Can't believe we'd run into you
00:06:04in a place like this.
00:06:06Do you know how much
00:06:06the cheapest wedding dress here costs?
00:06:09Over a hundred grand.
00:06:13Can you even afford that?
00:06:19Irene,
00:06:20did you come here out of vanity?
00:06:26I lift my head
00:06:28and look him in the eye.
00:06:29My salary won't cover it.
00:06:31But my rich fiancée will.
00:06:37Paulina approaches me.
00:06:38My words makes Caden's face darken.
00:06:42Let me help you choose a wedding dress.
00:06:44No need.
00:06:47Callie pulls me into a fitting room
00:06:48and brings out a dress
00:06:49tailored to my measurements.
00:06:56I put it on and walk out.
00:06:58Everyone freezes.
00:06:59Especially Caden.
00:07:01His eyes are locked on me.
00:07:02He can't look away.
00:07:04Where's the shop owner?
00:07:05I never imagined a counterfeit dress
00:07:07could end up in a place like this.
00:07:09This is Vincent Gibson Couture.
00:07:12Miss Burton's fiancée ordered it.
00:07:14I'm stunned.
00:07:15Did Henry really arrange this in advance?
00:07:19Fine.
00:07:20You've lost me as a major client.
00:07:26Come on, Caden.
00:07:27Let's go.
00:07:28Paulina drags Caden away.
00:07:30A tall figure walks in.
00:07:35It's Henry.
00:07:37He walks straight toward me,
00:07:38stops behind me,
00:07:39and looks at me through the mirror.
00:07:46It looks good on you.
00:07:51I try to cover my breast.
00:07:53My skin tingled where his lips touched.
00:07:56Show it.
00:07:57I like it.
00:07:57He kisses my cheek,
00:07:59a warmth spreading through me
00:08:00that is both terrifying and thrilling.
00:08:07Henry puts an emerald necklace around my neck.
00:08:11It's been passed down in my family for generations.
00:08:16He takes me to meet his mother, Abby,
00:08:19who was an old friend of my mother's,
00:08:22and I've never met her before.
00:08:27Sorry, sir.
00:08:27The lady said she has other matters
00:08:29and has already left.
00:08:30Forever, it was stated that Miss Irene
00:08:32must spend the night in young Master Henry's room.
00:08:36I don't understand why Abby did this.
00:08:38Why, in a vast villa,
00:08:40she insisted I spend the night in Henry's room,
00:08:42and yet he didn't say a word.
00:08:45Henry comes out in a towel.
00:08:47I grip the blanket nervously.
00:08:55Hello?
00:08:57Where's Paulina's food?
00:09:00What are you doing?
00:09:03If you're curious what she's doing,
00:09:05keep listening.
00:09:07Irene, where are you?
00:09:11Are you crazy to be with a man?
00:09:14You stinking bitch!
00:09:16Caden's furious shout comes through.
00:09:18Then the line goes dead.
00:09:21You...
00:09:22Getting back at your ex turns you on.
00:09:25His words left me at a loss for words.
00:09:27What had just happened
00:09:28seemed to be nothing more than an illusion.
00:09:32Your body responded to my touch.
00:09:34Is that because getting revenge on Caden turned you on?
00:09:48Tonight, I tell myself
00:09:50not to get my hopes up about Henry.
00:09:53Later on, I learned Paulina kissed Caden that night,
00:09:56but he pushed her away
00:09:58because the person on his mind was me.
00:10:04Irene says she's getting married.
00:10:06A rich fiancé?
00:10:08She's just jealous of Miss Moore
00:10:09and puts on an act.
00:10:12When she crawls back to apologize,
00:10:15I'll teach her a lesson in bed.
00:10:17The next day,
00:10:18I go back to my apartment
00:10:20to pack up the last of my things.
00:10:24Sean shows up.
00:10:26He thinks Caden has arranged a new place for me.
00:10:30Mr. Smith is really good to you.
00:10:32Dad burged in here and caused a scene.
00:10:35Staying here isn't safe anymore.
00:10:39How did you know Dad came here?
00:10:41He panics.
00:10:42I realize he gave my address to our father.
00:10:45The betrayal was so absolute,
00:10:46it left me numb.
00:10:48He knew what our father would do to me.
00:10:50And he did it anyway.
00:10:52I grab my belongings
00:10:53and walk out without looking back.
00:11:12Where is Henry?
00:11:24The table is full of my mother's favorite treats.
00:11:28Your mom was tough and brilliant.
00:11:31Your cold-hearted family doesn't deserve her.
00:11:35She was so ahead of her time.
00:11:39Your health.
00:11:42I'm fine.
00:11:44The sick act is to push Henry
00:11:45to get me a daughter-in-law.
00:11:48You are the daughter-in-law
00:11:49he has got for me.
00:11:53This entire marriage was built on a lie
00:11:55to appease his mother.
00:12:02Abby, let's get you to bed.
00:12:05Let's get you to bed.
00:12:11Have you told Irene
00:12:13that you're the chubby kid
00:12:14she saved on the rooftop?
00:12:33Have you told Irene
00:12:38this person knows everything about your mother?
00:12:49This person knows everything about your mother.
00:13:10I didn't expect to run into Canaan and Paulina again.
00:13:21A nutritionist like you
00:13:22wants to get on Dr. Gomez's team?
00:13:26I'm here to ask about my mother.
00:13:29Your mother's been dead for years.
00:13:31She was just a worthless housewife.
00:13:33Dr. Gomez wouldn't know someone like her.
00:13:42He could say anything about me
00:13:45but not my mother.
00:13:49Caden, shut up!
00:13:57Who's standing at my door insulting women?
00:13:59What family could function
00:14:01without what wives and mothers bring?
00:14:04Don't you have a mother?
00:14:23Your mother was a genius in medicine
00:14:27but her work touched national security.
00:14:29I can't say more.
00:14:41Do you want to study medicine?
00:14:44Yes!
00:14:45I took your online test
00:14:47waiting for results.
00:14:52Results come out today.
00:14:54You can check them in the hall
00:14:55on the second floor.
00:15:22You can check them in the hall on the second floor.
00:15:25Irene, you're not seriously thinking about
00:15:28getting on Dr. Gomez's team, are you?
00:15:30She didn't even finish her bachelor's degree.
00:15:32This is a joke.
00:15:36Marvin, your mom is dead
00:15:38because of incompetent doctors,
00:15:40the kind who get hired through connections,
00:15:42like her.
00:15:44People like you make me sick.
00:15:47I never know how to do it.
00:15:48As I you don't you her back to when...
00:16:11I think you can leave me?
00:16:39Final, final.
00:16:41Final, first place, Irene Burton.
00:16:59You make me sick.
00:17:05How could someone who didn't even finish college get first place?
00:17:09She cheated.
00:17:11Let's go through her exam papers together.
00:17:32Irene, listen.
00:17:34You'd better admit cheating right away.
00:17:45This plan, it hasn't even been published in the latest medical journals.
00:17:54With your mediocre abilities, how did you manage second place?
00:18:17You, how dare you say that?
00:18:26Do you want me to prove it?
00:18:28Or just admit you're the real cheater?
00:18:42Irene, show them what you've really got.
00:18:44Do you want me to prove it?
00:19:05A perfect solution.
00:19:08This is truly astonishing.
00:19:12Irene, welcome to my team.
00:19:15Henry stands a short distance away, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
00:19:24Did you come here for the job?
00:19:27Or for Caden?
00:19:30I...
00:19:37I chase after him.
00:19:47He thinks I came for Caden?
00:19:52I have a friend who might be able to help.
00:19:56Mr. Lloyd, could you introduce me to Ace?
00:20:00Ace doesn't do business with trash.
00:20:02Who are you calling trash?
00:20:10We need to split into two cars, how do you want to do it?
00:20:22Mr. Shaw, are you trying to get rejected by Irene for a second time?
00:20:48Irene, we're going the same way. Come with us.
00:20:50I'm going to do this room, let's give me a minute.
00:21:04He's going to go out here and have you never mind.
00:21:04I don't know.
00:21:04I can't do it anymore.
00:21:19Let's do it.
00:21:20I'm going to study medicine.
00:21:25You're not, Miss Moore. You don't have what it takes.
00:21:50Kaden, I feel a little dizzy.
00:22:25I'm going to study medicine, and I'm going to study medicine, and I'm going to study medicine.
00:22:49I'm going to study medicine, and I'm going to study medicine.
00:23:24I'm going to study medicine.
00:23:27Don't be afraid. It's me.
00:23:57My wife needs a doctor.
00:24:09She's not seriously hurt, but your arm needs immediate attention.
00:24:18Irene, can we make the Menardot tentature?
00:24:20Yeah, yeah.
00:24:34Membership card required. What's your relationship to the cardholder?
00:24:42I'm his wife.
00:24:55Yes, that's my wife. Take good care of her.
00:25:03Irene, what do you go?
00:25:06Caden, what do you talk was your life?
00:25:07Just stop here.
00:25:09Maybe as you go, fur, lean up your Caden.
00:25:12Why does she get to go in?
00:25:17Wait, wait, wait.
00:25:18Wait, wait, wait!
00:25:20Let's conclude!
00:25:37What's with this bite, Mark?
00:25:39She bit me.
00:25:42Look, you two can have all the fun you want behind closed doors.
00:25:46Just show a little restraint, okay?
00:25:59Let me help you apply the ointment.
00:26:25The doctor advised against having sex recently.
00:26:29He stops and stares at me.
00:26:31His gaze is intense.
00:26:32Is that why you're rejecting me?
00:26:39Thanks for the medical advice, Dr. Burton.
00:27:01For days, Henry won't let me leave the house.
00:28:04I didn't say you could leave.
00:28:06I've already resigned from Smith Group.
00:28:08You have no authority over me.
00:28:19Paulina's on leave.
00:28:20You finish these for her.
00:28:27I was injured in that car accident, too.
00:28:30Kaylin left me in the car to die.
00:28:32Why don't you name in Absolu Winston Kamita for Porus?
00:28:36Why don't you ask him about that?
00:28:42Nonsense!
00:28:43There was no car accident!
00:28:53I'll call the police.
00:29:13Caden Smith, we've retrieved the traffic surveillance footage.
00:29:25Please cooperate with the investigation.
00:29:52How?
00:29:54How?
00:29:55How?
00:29:56How?
00:29:57is fined three hundred thousand. You're standing here just fine!
00:30:23I'll go.
00:30:46It's so hot.
00:30:54I see him.
00:30:59Calm, composed, and resolute will. He is so strong.
00:31:03Everyone, please remain calm and cooperate with the medical staff.
00:31:09He seems a little different. Calm down, calm down. Don't let him notice me.
00:31:19He's here. I can keep going.
00:31:24Handsome captain. Calm judgment.
00:31:42You're quite the actress.
00:31:44First seducing Caden, now playing model worker here.
00:31:49The blood sample I just took was from the source of infection.
00:31:52You came in without preventative medication?
00:32:01Iren!
00:32:03The artisan's healed?
00:32:04I know we've no way for you. I know you bought it.
00:32:07It's a religious nurse, don't you?
00:32:08The collection tubes are sealed!
00:32:10Where exactly did you earn that PhD?
00:32:26I've been locked up here all day!
00:32:28What the hell are you people doing?!
00:32:37I'm the captain of this flight, Henry Shaw.
00:32:40If you have any complaints, take them up with me.
00:32:45From start to finish, he doesn't look at me once?
00:32:50Irene, let me take you to him.
00:33:03Is me?
00:33:05It's from my graduation ceremony three years ago.
00:33:24I'm sorry. I snuck off to work.
00:33:28We're both saving lives. Why would I be angry about that?
00:33:36Then why have you been ignoring me?
00:33:41I thought you came here for Caden.
00:33:46You gave up medicine for him.
00:33:51I thought you came back for him too.
00:33:59It was impulsive, desperate, and more real than anything I had ever felt.
00:34:10Is Irene in there? I want to see who she's seducing this time.
00:34:13Dr. Burton is our captain's fiancée. You want to interrupt them?
00:34:18Impossible! She's a kept woman!
00:34:31I'm Irene's fiancée. I will never stand in the way of her ambitions.
00:34:41Your new guy is much better than the last one.
00:34:59It's not a contagious disease! It's snake venom!
00:35:08I want to show some people what a wonderful fiancée I've got.
00:35:12I want to show some people what a wonderful fiancée I've got.
00:35:33What can this poor pilot give you if your mother were still alive?
00:35:54I put up with you because I was stupid. Now you're nothing to me.
00:35:59I'm married. From now on, we're strangers.
00:36:03Married? To this pilot?
00:36:13Canaan, unlock it.
00:36:16This... isn't my car.
00:36:33What a joke.
00:36:50The agreement with Irene will end soon.
00:36:55Until then, don't cause trouble for me.
00:36:57He wants to end the contract early. All that tenderness. All those kisses.
00:37:05I was a fool to have believed any of it was real.
00:37:17I'll sleep in the guest room.
00:37:23What did I do wrong?
00:37:31Help me put this on.
00:37:40Not bad.
00:37:54I don't love you anymore.
00:37:56Irene's been off lately.
00:37:57It's because Caden keeps bothering her.
00:38:01She hasn't let go yet.
00:38:23When exactly will Ace see me?
00:38:35A broke pilot like you dares to come here?
00:38:40Ace doesn't do business with trash.
00:38:54Pretending to be something it's not?
00:38:59Ace is definitely not like that.
00:39:03Ace is the most part of the movie.
00:39:04The movie's been off.
00:39:19Hello.
00:39:29The movie's been off.

00:45:09I never read a single message you sent.
00:45:19Thank you for inviting me to a meal.
00:45:23You brought this broke pilot here just to provoke me, didn't you?
00:45:27Well done.
00:45:28It worked.
00:45:33I won't marry Paulina.
00:45:35I'll marry you.
00:45:37Come on.
00:45:39You are vain, arrogant, pitiful.
00:45:42What about you is worth my affection?
00:45:44What did you say?
00:45:46I dare you say that again.
00:45:57You hit me?
00:45:59I'll call the cops.
00:46:00You're a pilot, and a criminal record will get you fired.
00:46:17Don't you dare hit him!
00:46:19You two are crazy!
00:46:21If you truly love him, take him away.
00:46:23Don't let him embarrass himself any further in front of all these people.
00:46:37Irene, let's go home.
00:46:45Back in that room
00:46:47You handled it well
00:46:50I thought you'd think I was too harsh
00:47:04Henry, that car behind us
00:47:09Can you lose them?
00:47:16To be continued...
00:47:42Henry, you got married.
00:47:44Why haven't you brought your wife to see me?
00:47:48The Rogers' house is not my home.
00:47:52I will never bring Irene to that filthy, twisted place.
00:47:56Never.
00:48:02Shit!
00:48:07Henry!
00:48:25How can I protect Irene?
00:48:30I don't know what he's been through.
00:48:35But I can feel it.
00:48:37He's fighting to hold something down.
00:48:47Don't leave me, Irene.
00:48:49I love you.
00:49:10This is Professor Seth Chavry, a world authority in cardiovascular medicine.
00:49:17My latest paper?
00:49:18Does anyone know its contents?
00:49:23I...
00:49:24I haven't had a chance to read it yet.
00:49:26I've been swamped with lab work.
00:49:28Nano-thrangelization technology.
00:49:30Using nanorobots to dissolve blood clots directly inside vessels.
00:49:34Less trauma.
00:49:35More thorough removal.
00:49:36It's the future of cardiac care.
00:49:38Good.
00:49:39Go on.
00:49:40Tell us more about the clinical trials.
00:49:42Irene, it's you again.
00:49:49The USB drive is gone.
00:49:51It contains all our confidential research data.
00:49:58Oh my!
00:50:00The USB drive is with Irene!
00:50:04No, it wasn't me.
00:50:10This is it!
00:50:12She stole it!
00:50:17It wasn't me!
00:50:19I never touched it!
00:50:22A flicker of triumph crosses Paulina's face.
00:50:29Irene, tell me your improvement suggestions for the nanotechnology.
00:50:36I propose administering medication to speed up metabolism during throbolasis.
00:50:43Seth and Natalie then go into a small meeting room to discuss.
00:50:55Soon, they walk out.
00:51:00Announces.
00:51:03This patent isn't mine.
00:51:10It belongs to Irene's mother, Vivian Dixon.
00:51:17The patent document appears on the big screen.
00:51:20The signature reads,
00:51:21Vivian Dixon.
00:51:22Filed 20 years ago.
00:51:24My mother's name.
00:51:26It feels like a ghost has just walked into the room, shielding me from harm.
00:51:32Your mother was the true inventor of nanothrogoliasis.
00:51:36She left it with me to give to you when you turned 24.
00:51:42Today, I decide to reveal it early.
00:51:47Impossible!
00:51:48Her mother's been dead for years!
00:51:52That makes her daughter the legal heir.
00:51:55Irene didn't steal anything.
00:51:59This was always hers.
00:52:07After everyone leaves, Seth stops me.
00:52:12Here's two million.
00:52:14First installment of the patent royalties.
00:52:16It belonged to your mother, and now it belongs to you.
00:52:19I invite you to study abroad as my graduate student.
00:52:26I, I can't go.
00:52:28I have an agreement with Henry.
00:52:31Take it.
00:52:33Your mother wanted you financially independent,
00:52:35so no one could ever push you around.
00:52:43I walk out of Seth's office.
00:52:46At the end of the hallway,
00:52:48a tall figure leans against the wall.
00:52:50Henry.
00:52:52My heart skips a beat.
00:52:54Just seeing him there makes me feel safe again.
00:53:01He yanks me into his arms and holds me tight.
00:53:04I believed you were innocent.
00:53:06Tears stream down my face.
00:53:09When everyone else doubts me,
00:53:11only he believes me.
00:53:19Anyone who hurt you isn't going to get away with it.
00:53:31This case is closed.
00:53:33Fingerprints are processed.
00:53:34Irene, stay out of trouble from now on.
00:53:49Closed?
00:53:50I wasn't informed.
00:53:51Who are you?
00:53:56Kevin Fletcher.
00:53:58Attorney for Miss Irene Burton.
00:54:06The shift in the room's atmosphere is immediate.
00:54:09Warren's arrogance deflates like a popped balloon.
00:54:17Every word of your abuse of power just now.
00:54:20I recorded it.
00:54:22Want to listen?
00:54:33Paulina!
00:54:34She told me to come!
00:54:47Miss Moore, you owe Miss Burton an apology.
00:54:50Paulina's face twists.
00:54:52She grits her teeth and walks up to me.
00:55:05I'm sorry.
00:55:07I accept your apology.
00:55:09But you're not escaping the legal consequences.
00:55:13I'm not!
00:55:15You won my fall three!
00:55:19You!
00:55:20You!
00:55:27Following Paulina's orders,
00:55:29Madeline locks herself in the lab
00:55:31and threatens suicide.
00:55:41Will you only be satisfied when someone dies?
00:55:44Irene!
00:55:45If you don't drop the case, I'll die in here!
00:55:47I'll take the whole lab with me!
00:55:50I remember what Henry said.
00:55:52Put yourself first.
00:55:58I won't drop the case.
00:56:00If she wants to die, that's her choice.
00:56:02I won't give in.
00:56:04Are you insane?
00:56:07I'm stalking it for you or not!
00:56:09Get out!
00:56:13How dare you threaten my student.
00:56:16My students need not only skill, but also backbone.
00:56:19Irene made the right choice today.
00:56:25She told me to do it!
00:56:27Everything was her idea!
00:56:38The two start brawling.
00:56:39Pulling hair, slapping faces.
00:56:41The scene spirals completely out of control.
00:56:50At the end of the hallway,
00:56:52a man stands holding roses,
00:56:54Kaelin.
00:56:55He came to propose.
00:57:14Kaelin looks at Polina,
00:57:15who's fighting like a shrew.
00:57:27Kaelin, it's not what it looks like.
00:57:29Let me explain.
00:57:31Polina,
00:57:33what are you doing?
00:57:35The woman I chased for ten years
00:57:39is like this?
00:57:42I turn and walk away.
00:57:46Kaden chases after me.
00:57:54I don't want to watch this farce anymore.
00:57:59I reach the stair hole
00:58:00when I hear footsteps behind me.
00:58:06I was wrong.
00:58:07I see what Polina really is now.
00:58:10Come back to me.
00:58:12I'll marry you.
00:58:19I'm so sorry, Irene.
00:58:21His words are hollow.
00:58:22He doesn't love me.
00:58:24He just loves the idea of me he created.
00:58:27I pull down my collar
00:58:28and reveal the massive bruises on my shoulder.
00:58:31A hundred times worse than Polina's injuries.
00:58:34This is what your true love
00:58:36and her lackey did to me.
00:58:42And you still think I'd come back to you?
00:58:53Kaden's face goes pale.
00:58:56He looks like someone just hit him.
00:59:04A woman walks over from the other end of the hallway.
00:59:07Gianna Chavez, Seth's daughter.
00:59:09It was Polina who threatened me
00:59:10and made me steal my father's USB drive.
00:59:12Gianna, how could you-
00:59:13Shut up!
00:59:14You nearly got me into serious trouble!
00:59:16Gianna walks up to me and suddenly bows.
00:59:24I notice her eyes keep darting behind me.
00:59:29She's looking at Henry.
00:59:30Her gaze is full of terror.
00:59:32It's not remorse in her eyes.
00:59:34It's fear.
00:59:35And it's directed entirely at Henry.
00:59:41Gianna,
00:59:41why do you keep looking at my fiancé?
00:59:49I'm not.
00:59:51Gianna,
00:59:53are you afraid of my fiancé?
00:59:54I'm afraid of my fiancé.
00:59:54I'm afraid of my fiancé.
01:00:04No!
01:00:05Why would I be afraid of him?
01:00:07He's just a pilot!
01:00:09Her voice shakes.
01:00:11She refuses to look at me.
01:00:17Her panic is obvious.
01:00:19I don't press further.
01:00:23But a seed of doubt is planted in my mind.
01:00:26I see Henry and Gianna go into a lounge,
01:00:29one after the other.
01:00:35I quietly follow.
01:00:42Through the crack in the door,
01:00:44I see Gianna bowing to Henry.
01:00:48Ace, please spare me!
01:00:51I truly didn't know
01:00:52Ms. Burton was your fiancé!
01:00:56If you dare hurt her again,
01:00:58I'll make sure you pay for it.
01:01:01Ace.
01:01:02She called him Ace.
01:01:05The name echoes in my head.
01:01:07The pieces of a puzzle
01:01:08I never knew existed
01:01:10are clicking into place.
01:01:13My mind goes blank.
01:01:17Henry Shaw.
01:01:18Ace.
01:01:20They're the same person.
01:01:22The door suddenly opens.
01:01:24Henry stands before me.
01:01:26A flicker of panic in his eyes.
01:01:30Irene.
01:01:37So, you're Ace.
01:01:42I-I can explain.
01:01:47He doesn't deny it.
01:01:58You hid it from me all this time.
01:02:02Was it fun for you hiding who you really are
01:02:05and keeping me in the dark?
01:02:14Irene, please hear me out.
01:02:18Let go.
01:02:44Don't you have questions for me?
01:02:51The contract says we stay out of each other's personal business.
01:02:55I have nothing to ask.
01:03:00To hell with the contract!
01:03:06Irene, can't you see what I really want?
01:03:20What are you doing?
01:03:22What are you doing?
01:03:30Is this what you want?
01:03:46The sound of the slamming door feels like a final verdict on us.
01:03:50I've pushed him away.
01:03:54I collapse on the bed, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
01:03:59I'm done for.
01:04:01I've really fallen in love with him.
01:04:24Dude, it's 1 a.m.
01:04:26What now?
01:04:27She asked what I want.
01:04:30Then started unbuttoning her shirt.
01:04:32And then?
01:04:37I left.
01:04:38Are you insane?
01:04:40That's not what I want.
01:04:45All I want is for her to really accept me.
01:04:54If you like her, just tell her the truth.
01:04:58Why do you keep her in the dark like this?
01:05:07I can't.
01:05:13I can't.
01:05:15Every time I look into her eyes, I'm afraid telling her the truth will push her even further away.
01:05:28I text Frasier, I want to thank Ace in person.
01:05:34Frasier replies instantly,
01:05:36Tonight, 7 p.m.
01:05:38Tonight, 7 p.m., Rosewood Steakhouse.
01:05:40Ace will meet you.
01:05:42The whole place is reserved.
01:05:45A violinist plays my favorite song.
01:05:48The walls are covered with posters from my favorite movies.
01:05:53Every detail is perfect.
01:06:10Henry?
01:06:11Didn't you want to meet Ace?
01:06:17So, it really is you?
01:06:20Three years ago, I proposed to you as Ace.
01:06:22You refused.
01:06:24This time, I'm asking again as Henry.
01:06:30No contract.
01:06:32Irene Burton, will you marry me?
01:06:34I don't know.
01:07:04Henry slides the ring onto my finger, then stands up and kisses me.
01:07:20Who arranged all this?
01:07:25Me.
01:07:27Got a problem?
01:07:28A broke pilot like you can afford to book a place like this?
01:07:34Who told you I'm just a pilot?
01:07:37Henry slap a black business card down on the table.
01:07:41Only one word is on it.
01:07:43Ace.
01:07:44Impossible.
01:07:45I've been desperate to meet Ace for so long.
01:07:48How could it be you?
01:07:51That's why I told you from the start.
01:07:54Ace doesn't do business with trash.
01:07:57As Caden is dragged out by security, he looks back and sees me cugging Henry tight.
01:08:04In that moment, I feel a chapter of my life finally, truly closing.
01:08:24Who told you I'm putting on an act?
01:08:26What's wrong with me hugging my own fiancé?
01:08:34Finally!
01:08:35Do you know how long I've been playing Messenger?
01:08:39Shut up.
01:08:43After the celebration, Henry takes me home.
01:08:59Irene, this time it's not a contract.
01:09:04I knew it.
01:09:09I don't care who you are, Henry or Ace.
01:09:15As long as it's you, I'll marry you.
01:09:19All lies and secrets no longer matter.
01:09:22Only the man before me counts.
01:09:25His hand tightens around mine.
01:09:29The way he looks at me is so gentle.
01:09:32It melts me right there.
01:09:35It melts me right there.
01:09:39It melts me right there.
01:10:27Kaden, what's wrong?
01:10:52I finally left the past behind me.
01:11:03Seth invites me to attend an international medical summit abroad, but...
01:11:10You should go.
01:11:12I'll go with you.
01:11:16The data shows a significant breakthrough in targeted therapy.
01:11:28Your research approach, exactly like Vivian's.
01:11:35You knew my mother?
01:11:37She was my student, the best one.
01:11:40He's Professor Hoffman White, Nobel Prize laureate.
01:11:44I've kept her research notes all this time.
01:11:46She said, if one day her daughter chooses medicine, give them to her.
01:11:56To my beloved daughter, Irene, Mom is always proud of you.
01:12:06It feels like she's right here with me, her love reaching across the years.
01:12:16After the speech, he shared an unexpected piece of news with me.
01:12:23Your mother's death was not an accident.
01:12:28What are you saying?
01:12:30I'll get to the bottom of this.
01:12:34The file shows that at the time of the accident, my father, Tobias, had just paid off a huge gambling
01:12:40debt.
01:12:52The timing of your father's debt, and your mother's accident, only three days apart.
01:13:00How is that possible?
01:13:08He killed my mom?
01:13:13Not just him.
01:13:16To pay off that much money all at once, someone was behind it.
01:13:28I'm going to find my father.
01:13:30I'm going to ask him to sell.
01:13:36He must give me an explanation.
01:13:52Irene?
01:13:53Where's the money? Give me money!
01:13:55Did you have anything to do with Mom's accident?
01:14:00You...
01:14:03You...
01:14:03You...
01:14:04What nonsense are you talking?
01:14:06It was an accident!
01:14:09Your gambling debts were paid off the day after the accident.
01:14:12Where did the money came from?
01:14:18Tell me.
01:14:18They threatened me!
01:14:20Said they'd kill the whole family if I didn't do it!
01:14:24I...
01:14:25I just cut the brake line a little.
01:14:30I didn't mean to kill her!
01:14:34You killed my mother.
01:14:35You killed my mother.
01:14:37I had a drugs.
01:14:40My mother!
01:14:42You killed my mother!
01:14:42I'll let it burn.
01:14:48I'm gonna kill my mother!
01:14:50I'll give her...
01:14:50You killed her!
01:14:57I didn't do it!
01:14:59You killed her!
01:15:00I killed her!
01:15:09I think you should take me along.
01:15:13Who was behind it?
01:15:19Kiana Rogers.
01:15:22Henry's grandmother.
01:15:24What?
01:15:34How can it be?
01:15:36So that's it.
01:15:37My mother left the Rogers family with me back then.
01:15:42It wasn't about family infighting.
01:15:45It was because she knew the truth.
01:15:47Your mother's research threatened the Rogers family's pharmaceutical business.
01:15:59I'm coming back to the family estate.
01:16:11Welcome.
01:16:14So you're that woman's daughter.
01:16:17You do resemble her somewhat.
01:16:20Twenty years ago, Vivian Dixon's car accident.
01:16:24You orchestrated it.
01:16:31Do you have proof?
01:16:35Who was behind it?
01:16:37Kiana Rogers.
01:16:39Henry's grandmother.
01:16:43How can you take a gambler's word as evidence?
01:16:48Then explain this.
01:16:51I've already handed over 30 years of Rogers' family financial records to the police.
01:17:01I've already handed over 30 years of Rogers' family financial records to the police.
01:17:08Money laundering, bribery, murder.
01:17:11Enough to keep you in prison for life.
01:17:15You will pay the price for what you have done.
01:17:19Are you insane?
01:17:21I'm your grandmother!
01:17:23From the day you tried to harm my mother, you weren't family anymore.
01:17:38You're mother got what she deserved.
01:17:43Then you will be the same way.
01:17:46Take her away.
01:17:47Yes, sir.
01:17:53The Rogers' family empire, a name synonymous with power and wealth for decades, is in freefall.
01:18:09I barely slept all night.
01:18:12Kiana's words kept echoing in my mind.
01:18:15Your mother got what she deserved.
01:18:19Then you will be the same way.
01:18:23Mom, the people who killed you have been punished.
01:18:27I got your patent approved.
01:18:30The drug is named Vivian.
01:18:33I'll carry on your dream for you.
01:18:47Your biological father is still alive.
01:18:50What did you say?
01:18:52His name is Victor Grey.
01:18:54Your mother's research partner back then.
01:19:02My dad...
01:19:03is still alive?
01:19:07Yes.
01:19:17Three days later, the doorbell rings.
01:19:29I open the door.
01:19:40Are you?
01:19:41I'm Victor Gray, your mother's research partner.
01:19:46He doesn't say father, but I can tell.
01:19:50He is my father.
01:19:53Those eyes are just like mine.
01:19:59Dad.
01:20:09I'm sorry.
01:20:11Sorry to your mother.
01:20:14Father, I should have come back sooner.
01:20:17It's okay.
01:20:18You're back now.
01:20:21That's all that matters.
01:20:24He holds me tight.
01:20:33Victor stays with us.
01:20:35He opens the last chapter of my mother's research notes.
01:20:41Vivian had a concept back then.
01:20:44Jean targeted therapy, but she didn't have time to finish it.
01:20:53Let's finish it together, Dad.
01:20:59Three years later, the Gray Shaw Medical Research Center is established.
01:21:08Jean targeted drugs enter clinical trials.
01:21:11The first batch of patients saw their tumors shrink by 70%.
01:21:15At the press conference, I announced to the world that the drug had achieved great success.
01:21:21Dr. Burton, what's the name of this drug?
01:21:28I look down at the audience.
01:21:31Henry sits in the front row.
01:21:33Victor sits beside him.
01:21:35They both nod at me at the same time.
01:21:37Seeing them there, my two families united, I feel a sense of purpose I've never known.
01:21:48Vivian.
01:21:52Named after my mother.
01:22:01The research center is on track.
01:22:21Why is Henry crying?
01:22:30You're pregnant.
01:22:33I'm pregnant.
01:22:35Pregnant.
01:22:37A new life.
01:22:39A new beginning after so much loss.
01:22:44It feels like a miracle.
01:22:48From now on, you're not allowed in the lab.
01:22:51No overtime.
01:22:52No touching any reagents.
01:22:54I'll take care of you.
01:22:58Henry.
01:23:02Please.
01:23:03I look into his serious eyes and nod.
01:23:12I have severe morning sickness.
01:23:17Henry cooks for me every day.
01:23:20Henry cooks for me every day.
01:23:49The fourth time, he brings out a bowl chicken soup.
01:23:53I take a sip and don't throw up.
01:23:56You didn't throw up!
01:23:59His eyes light up like a child who just won a prize.
01:24:14As the due date approaches, I'm too nervous to sleep.
01:24:18I often read parenting books in the middle of the night, and I'm worried that I can't take good care
01:24:24of Irene.
01:24:37I watch him from the corner of my eye, my heart overflowing with a quiet, profound love.
01:24:43I'm sure I love him very much.
01:25:03How come it's been eight hours and the baby hasn't been born yet, Ed?
01:25:12She's here.
01:25:14Mother and daughter are both safe.
01:25:25Does it hurt?
01:25:28Of course.
01:25:46She looks like you.
01:25:47We hold a party to celebrate the baby's one-month milestone.
01:25:52The house is full of people.
01:25:55I watch them, tears in my eyes.
01:25:58The family warmth I never had.
01:26:00My daughter has it all.
01:26:07What are you thinking?
01:26:10Thank you for giving me a home.
01:26:13It's a home we built together.
01:26:18Outside the window, the sunset paints the sky gold.
01:26:2430,000 feet above, he used to be alone.
01:26:28Now, he has me.
01:26:30He has our daughter.
01:26:32My past was a storm, but he was my anchor.
01:26:36Now, we have our own sky, clear and full of light.
