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 Kanan and Paulina again.
00:13:21A nutritionist like you wants 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. She was just a worthless housewife.
00:13:34Dr. Gomez wouldn't know someone like her.
00:13:42He could say anything about me, but not my mother.
00:13:49Kaden, shut up!
00:13:57Who's standing at my door insulting women?
00:14:00What family could function without what wives and mothers bring?
00:14:04Don't you have a mother?
00:14:23Your mother was a genius in medicine.
00:14:26But her work touched national security. I can't say more.
00:14:42Do you want to study medicine?
00:14:44Yes! I took your online test, waiting for results.
00:14:52Results come out today. You can check them in the hall on the second floor.
00:15:23Irene?
00:15:26You're not seriously thinking about getting on Dr. Gomez's team, are you?
00:15:30She didn't even finish her bachelor's degree! This is a joke!
00:15:36Marvin, your mom is dead because of incompetent doctors. The kind who get hired through connections. Like her.
00:15:43People like you make me sick!
00:16:11People like you make me sick!
00:16:16You're not a problem.
00:16:18No!
00:16:19No!
00:16:19No!
00:16:21No!
00:16:22No!
00:16:23No! No! No! No!
00:16:40final. First place. Irene Burton. You make me sick. How could someone who didn't even
00:17:07finish college get first place? She cheated. Let's go through her exam papers together.
00:17:32Irene, listen. You'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? Or just admit you're the real cheater?
00:18:42Irene, show them what you've really got.
00:19:05A perfect solution. This 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? Or for Caden?
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.
00:21:20I'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.
00:22:21Kaden, I feel a little dizzy.
00:22:24Kaden, I feel a little dizzy.
00:22:50Kaden, I feel a little dizzy.
00:23:21Kaden, I feel a little dizzy.
00:23:25Kaden, I feel a little dizzy.
00:23:28Don't be afraid.
00:23:57Kaden, I feel a little dizzy.
00:24:18Kaden, I feel a little dizzy.
00:24:20Kaden, I feel a little dizzy.
00:24:35Kaden, I'm afraid.
00:24:36Kaden, I feel a little dizzy.
00:24:42Kaden, I feel a little dizzy.
00:24:49Kaden, I'm sure.
00:24:55Yes, that's my wife.
00:24:57Take good care of her.
00:25:03Irene, where do you go?
00:25:06Caden, what do you talk about is your life?
00:25:07Just stop here.
00:25:09Karen, maybe as you go, fur, lean up your Caden.
00:25:12Why does she get to go in?
00:25:17Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:25:19You don't wait.
00:25:20Let's include.
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.
00:27:21Thanks for the medical advice.
00:27:21Thanks for the medical advice.
00:28:04I didn't say you could leave.
00:28:06I've already resigned from Smith Group. You have no authority over me.
00:28:19Paulina's on leave. You 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 Commedia for Porus?
00:28:36Why don't you ask him about that?
00:28:42Nonsense! There 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.
00:29:37I'll call the police.
00:29:52How? How?
00:29:56Caden is fined $300,000.
00:30:00You're standing here just fine!
00:30:23I'll go.
00:30:45It's so hot.
00:30:54I see him.
00:30:59Calm, composed, and resolute will.
00:31:02He is so strong.
00:31:04Everyone, please remain calm and cooperate with the medical staff.
00:31:09He seems a little different.
00:31:11Calm down, calm down.
00:31:13Don't let him notice me.
00:31:19He's here.
00:31:20I can keep going.
00:31:24Handsome captain.
00:31:26Calm judgment.
00:31:42You're quite the actress.
00:31:44First seducing Caden, now playing model worker here.
00:31:48The blood sample I just took was from the source of infection.
00:31:51You came in without preventative medication?
00:32:01Iron!
00:32:03The order thing's healed?
00:32:04I know we don't wait for you.
00:32:06I know you bought it.
00:32:06It'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?
00:32:51Irene, let me take you to him.
00:33:03Is me?
00:33:05It's from my graduation ceremony three years ago.
00:33:13I'm the captain of this flight.
00:33:24I'm sorry.
00:33:26I snuck off to work.
00:33:28We're both saving lives.
00:33:29Why would I be angry about that?
00:33:36Then why have you been ignoring me?
00:33:42I 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?
00:34:11I want to see who she's seducing this time.
00:34:13Dr. Burton is our captain's fiancé.
00:34:16You want to interrupt them?
00:34:18Impossible!
00:34:19She's a kept woman!
00:34:32I'm Irene's fiancé.
00:34:33I 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.
00:35:01It's snake venom.
00:35:08I want to show some people what a wonderful fiancé 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.
00:35:56Now you're nothing to me.
00:35:59I'm married.
00:36:01From now on, we're strangers.
00:36:03Married?
00:36:04To this pilot?
00:36:13Canaan, unlock it.
00:36:16This...
00:36:16isn't my car.
00:36:34What a joke.
00:36:50The agreement with Irene will end soon.
00:36:55Until then, don't cause trouble for me.
00:36:58He wants to end the contract early.
00:36:59All 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.
00:39:32Caden didn't come?
00:39:33We broke up long ago.
00:39:36This is Sabrina, my girlfriend.
00:39:39She's family now.
00:39:44That necklace is pretty.
00:39:47Why don't you give it to me?
00:39:50No.
00:39:51It means a lot to me.
00:39:56You used to do whatever I said.
00:39:58It's just some damn necklace.
00:40:00Give it to her.
00:40:02I said no.
00:40:35Brody.
00:40:36He's one of Neil's sleazy crew.
00:40:39Caden dumped you.
00:40:41Stop acting all high and mighty.
00:40:43Have a few drinks with us.
00:40:54I'm Irene's husband.
00:40:56Anyone who lays a finger on her is going to regret it.
00:41:09Henry, this is a minder standing.
00:41:11Come on, boys.
00:41:13Apologize to my brother-in-law.
00:41:15What are your tensions?
00:41:16Brother-in-law, he...
00:41:18Shut up!
00:41:20Waiter!
00:41:21Bring an 82 LaFont.
00:41:22My treat for my brother-in-law.
00:41:27Screaming eagle.
00:41:29What the hell is that?
00:41:30Never heard of it.
00:41:31Who are you trying to fool?
00:41:33That's our most expensive wine.
00:41:34The bachelor party next door paid triple for it.
00:41:37Five times.
00:41:38Bring it back.
00:41:40Are you insane?
00:41:45What do I know I do?
00:41:48I want to try it, too.
00:41:57You?
00:41:58Enough?
00:41:59Or do you want more?
00:42:09We didn't order any of that.
00:42:14My fiancé and I only had one juice.
00:42:16This covers our share.
00:42:20Stop right there!
00:42:23You always paid before!
00:42:25You're supposed to support me!
00:42:26I was stupid before,
00:42:28letting you drain me dry.
00:42:30From today on,
00:42:31I won't do that.
00:42:33And the millions you owe me?
00:42:35Don't forget to pay me back.
00:42:37You told me you were loaded!
00:42:41Sabrina,
00:42:42she's lying.
00:42:43Let me explain!
00:42:45Get lost, loser!
00:43:10Let go of me!
00:43:12I'll tell Henry,
00:43:13you were a kept woman for three years.
00:43:15Let's see if he still marries you!
00:43:17Let's look and fuck to do it!
00:43:30You wouldn't dare!
00:43:31I'm your brother-in-law!
00:43:33Irene!
00:43:34Tell him to let me go!
00:43:36Take him to the police station.
00:43:43Henry!
00:43:44Henry!
00:43:46Help!
00:43:47Somebody help me!
00:43:51My family is so embarrassing.
00:43:55Those people aren't your family.
00:44:01Irene,
00:44:04I'll be your family.
00:44:42Oh, isn't this the chick who used to cling to Caden?
00:44:49Someone actually wants her?
00:44:59Are you insane?
00:45:01Shut up.
00:45:08See?
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.
00:45:38Come 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.
00:46:01You're a pilot.
00:46:02And 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.
00:46:24Don't let him embarrass himself any further in front of all these people.
00:46:27I don't know.
00:46:29I don't know.
00:46:38I don't know.
00:46:47You handled it well.
00:46:51I thought you'd think I was too harsh.
00:47:04Henry, that car behind us.
00:47:09Can you lose them?
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!
00:48:08Henry!
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.
00:48:52I 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.
00:50:05It 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.
00:50:29Irene, 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.
00:51:16The patent document appears on the big screen.
00:51:20The signature reads, Vivian 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 turn 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...
00:52:27I can't go.
00:52:28I have an agreement with Henry.
00:52:31Take it.
00:52:33Your mother wanted you financially independent,
00:52:36so 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.
00:53:32Fingerprints are processed.
00:53:34Irene,
00:53:35stay out of trouble
00:53:37from 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!
00:54:36She told me to come!
00:54:47Miss Moore,
00:54:48you 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 you on my phone green!
00:55:19You?
00:55:26Following 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,
00:55:46I'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,
00:56:01that's her choice.
00:56:02I won't give in.
00:56:04Are you insane?
00:56:07I'm stalking it for you!
00:56:08You are knocking it out!
00:56:13How dare you threaten my student?
00:56:15My students need not only skill,
00:56:17but 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,
00:56:40slapping faces.
00:56:41The scene spirals
00:56:42completely 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.
00:57:23Kaelin looks at Polina,
00:57:28it'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.
00:57:47Kaelin 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.
00:58:14I'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.
00:58:40I'll marry you.
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.
00:59:08It 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.
00:59:20Mrs. Burton, I'm sorry.
00:59:23Paulina deceived me.
00:59:25Please forgive me.
00:59:26I 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, why do you keep looking at my fiancé?
00:59:49I'm not.
00:59:51Gianna, are you afraid of my fiancé?
00:59:54I'm not.
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 Ms. 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 I 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.
01:02:01Was 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?
01:02:46Don'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?
01:03:30Is this what you want?
01:03:32I'll give myself to you.
01:03:35I'll give myself to you.
01:03:47The 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, then started unbuttoning her shirt.
01:04:32And then?
01:04:37I left.
01:04:39Are 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.
01:05:27I text Frazier, I want to thank Ace in person.
01:05:34Frazier replies instantly,
01:05:36Tonight, 7 p.m., Rosewood Steakhouse.
01:05:40Ace will meet you.
01:05:42The whole place is reserved.
01:05:44A 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?
01:06:34Oh, it really is.
01:07:04Listen. We can't wait
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?
01:07:33Who told you I'm just a pilot?
01:07:37Henry slap a black business card down on the table.
01:07:40Only 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.
01:08:23Who 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.
01:09:38The way he looks at me is so gentle.
01:10:05For the reason ever since he is so gentle.
01:10:10Let me move to anyone.
01:10:14What?
01:10:17Let's go.
01:10:19What?
01:10:19Let's do right now.
01:10:2148 years ago, your Santa Claus is wal'o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o.
01:10:27The house is a bomb of its Alice.
01:10:28Aiden, what's wrong?
01:10:35Go away.
01:10:37You?
01:10:38If not for you, I wouldn't have lost Irene.
01:10:40If not for you, Ace would already be my partner.
01:10:43It's all your fault!
01:10:45I just can't think that way.
01:10:46I've been wondering, but I'm not in fun away.
01:10:49You'll be dressed like the old stick set.
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.
01:11:39The 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.
01:12:09Her 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,
01:12:37my father, Tobias, had just paid off a huge gambling debt.
01:12:52The timing of your father's debt
01:12:54and your mother's accident.
01:12:57Only three days apart.
01:13:00How is that possible?
01:13:07He killed my mom?
01:13:13Not just him.
01:13:16To pay off that much money all at once,
01:13:18someone 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.
01:13:53Irene, where's the money?
01:13:55Give me money.
01:13:55Did you have anything to do with mom's accident?
01:14:00You...
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 her.
01:14:38I don't understand.
01:14:39You killed her.
01:14:41You killed her.
01:14:41I don't know.
01:14:46You killed her.
01:14:48You killed her.
01:15:00I now know.
01:15:08I 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 in back to the family estate.
01:16:11Welcome.
01:16:14So you're that woman's daughter.
01:16:17You do resemble her somewhat.
01:16:1920 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.
01:17:17You 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.
01:17:53The 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.
01:18:22Mom.
01:18:23The 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 Gray.
01:18:54Your mother's research partner back then.
01:19:01My dad is still alive?
01:19:07No.

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,
01:24:21and I'm worried that I can't take good care of Irene.
01:24:37I watch him from the corner of my eye,
01:24:39my 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.
01:25:26Does 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.
01:25:51The house is full of people.
01:25:55I watch them, tears in my eyes.
01:25:58The family warmth I never had.
01:26:01My 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.
01:26:39Love.
01:26:41Give her a peace.
01:26:42Bye.
