00:00:00At least, at least use protection.
00:00:04I've always wondered if a woman must give her first time to someone she loves,
00:00:07but when that sharp pain hit, I knew my chance was gone forever.
00:00:11That stranger forced himself on me.
00:00:13I cried so hard I couldn't see clearly.
00:00:15I wanted to run, but I couldn't move, trapped in despair.
00:00:19Knowing there was no escape, I bit my lip to hide my fear and begged him in a dry voice.
00:00:24The man on top of me didn't say a word, became more violent, and I finally blacked out.
00:00:30It wasn't a nightmare.
00:00:31I woke up alone, the pain in my body telling me everything was real.
00:00:36I realized then that the business dinner was a trap.
00:00:39I was getting drunk and sent here to be taken advantage of.
00:00:42Julian, please. They drugged me. Someone is in my room.
00:00:46I'm busy. Call the cops.
00:00:48He crushed every last bit of love I had for him with those few words.
00:00:52Then, I saw it.
00:00:54Julian has come home.
00:00:56I took a deep breath, preparing to confront him.
00:01:01What is it?
00:01:04You're home.
00:01:07You look like you've been dragged through a hedge. What do you want?
00:01:10I wanted my husband.
00:01:12Last night, I needed my husband.
00:01:14I told you I was busy. Don't be so dramatic.
00:01:18I saved your father's life, and for that, my one wish was to marry you.
00:01:24A wish you've regretted every day since, I'm sure.
00:01:26You were an opportunist, Kathleen. Nothing more.
00:01:28You wanted to be queen.
00:01:30Stop standing there.
00:01:31Go make breakfast. I'm heading out in half an hour.
00:01:34Julian.
00:01:36What now?
00:01:37Let's get a divorce.
00:01:41A business card on the floor.
00:01:43It was from Nash Group.
00:01:45Julian's company.
00:01:48The morning light felt cold.
00:01:50His smile was always like this mocking, distant, as if I were nothing but a shadow in his life.
00:01:55Last night.
00:01:56How could he speak of it so casually?
00:01:58As if my pain was nothing more than a trivial matter.
00:02:02This is about last night, isn't it?
00:02:04You're upset I didn't come running when you called?
00:02:08Elaine called earlier.
00:02:09She said the Lewis Group deal went through.
00:02:12You'll get your bonus.
00:02:14Don't worry.
00:02:15Eloise, his beloved sister, got me drunk at dinner.
00:02:18That night changed everything.
00:02:20To him, it was nothing.
00:02:22You used a bone marrow donation to push your way into this marriage three years ago.
00:02:27So did you really believe you were so pure and innocent?
00:02:32Don't bother making breakfast.
00:02:34Just get lunch ready and deliver it to my office.
00:02:39Let's just cut to the chase.
00:02:43I'm sure you know what happened to me last night.
00:02:48I want a divorce.
00:02:58He didn't even notice I wasn't the one who made his lunch.
00:03:01After three years of my cooking, nothing else tasted right to him anymore.
00:03:22Three years of marriage ended with a single stroke of the pen.
00:03:26Just like that.
00:03:31Send them to her.
00:03:42Find out who arranged for her to be at that hotel last night.
00:03:53I spent nearly the entire day at the hospital.
00:03:56My twin brother, Austin, had been born with a neurological disorder.
00:04:06Life had been good until I turned 18.
00:04:09That's when everything shattered.
00:04:13The back of my father being escorted to prison.
00:04:16My mother huddled in the corner.
00:04:17The empty factory after the collapse of our family business.
00:04:21And the exhaustion from working at a convenience store late at night.
00:04:29After getting married to Julian, for a moment, I thought I'd found someone who could save me.
00:04:33But even that hope slipped away.
00:04:44It's getting late.
00:04:51I won't be going back.
00:04:53I'm divorcing him.
00:04:54Don't give him any excuse to be upset.
00:04:57People like us can't expect the Nash's to treat us as equals.
00:05:02Who told you what happened?
00:05:06I failed you.
00:05:09I couldn't protect you.
00:05:12If you walk away from Julian now, what happens to me?
00:05:16To Austin?
00:05:19Mom, if Julian ever intended to help, don't you think he would have done something by now?
00:05:29Catherine!
00:05:33The divorce agreement has been signed by Mr. Nash.
00:05:37He has signed the divorce agreement.
00:05:59Julian, calm down.
00:06:00You'll wear yourself out like this.
00:06:02Why are you here?
00:06:03I heard about your argument with Catherine.
00:06:06Don't tell me you're actually getting divorced.
00:06:08Who said that to you?
00:06:15But she cheated on you, Julian.
00:06:18Stay out of things like this.
00:06:19Were you right there, at the bed, watching them?
00:06:22I seriously don't get why you kept her around.
00:06:25That's enough.
00:06:26Let my driver take you home.
00:06:29Kacen, come in.
00:06:30Kacen, you know I matter more than some people.
00:06:32Just don't say anything that'll upset my brother, okay?
00:06:36Of course, Ms. Nash.
00:06:43The hotel footage had already been erased.
00:06:47Nothing was caught on camera.
00:06:48The so-called truth was merely the version those in power wanted you to see.
00:06:55The divorce was still processing, but I had finally started living for myself.
00:07:06He remained the man who knew how to indulge.
00:07:09I was simply the past he wished to forget.
00:07:17Did something happen?
00:07:19Your mother came by today, had an argument, and got so upset that she fainted.
00:07:26In that moment, I knew I had to return, even though no one there would welcome me.
00:07:33I thought leaving here meant a fresh start.
00:07:36Fate had other plans.
00:07:47Two weeks apart, yet his gaze felt sharper than ever.
00:07:54Where's my mom?
00:07:57The scorching sun didn't care about her tears.
00:08:06She came with gifts, but Eloise wouldn't let her through.
00:08:11It was never about me.
00:08:13It was about money and power.
00:08:21Kathy, I only did it because I care.
00:08:25Leaving already?
00:08:26Don't stop the show now.
00:08:28My dad's a softie.
00:08:30He falls for pity parties.
00:08:35Tell me something.
00:08:36What exactly did I do to you?
00:08:38Do you have some kind of hidden agenda or what?
00:08:44She threatened my darkest secret, so I gave her a taste of her own medicine.
00:09:04How dare you hurt her?
00:09:08She worked with Louis Group and trapped me for a $50 million deal.
00:09:13So tell me, Julian, if your wife is worth $50 million, how much is your sister worth?
00:09:27The moment I saw the storm gathering in his eyes, I knew everything had changed.
00:09:31I didn't do anything to you, Catherine.
00:09:34You went to that dinner on your own.
00:09:36You chose to drink.
00:09:37For the first time, I wasn't afraid to show my teeth.
00:09:43If you're so innocent, let's get the cops involved.
00:09:47Let them sort out the truth.
00:09:53Go get your face looked at first.
00:09:57Something inside me was dying.
00:09:59Not my anger, my hope.
00:10:01The last shred of believing he might ever see me.
00:10:03Julian, I'm to blame.
00:10:07I didn't teach my daughter right.
00:10:09If you're upset, be upset with me.
00:10:12Come upstairs.
00:10:13My dad wants to see you.
00:10:15We're getting divorced.
00:10:16What's the point in pretending anymore?
00:10:18The divorce hasn't been finalized.
00:10:21Whether you really mean it or not,
00:10:23you're still expected to follow through.
00:10:29It's just for show.
00:10:30Don't read too much into it.
00:10:32Don't say a single word about what happened with Lewis Group's CEO.
00:10:35You know who will suffer if this gets out.
00:10:38Relax.
00:10:39I'm not about to run to your dad and spill everything.
00:10:41It was just one night, right?
00:10:44I got paid, had my fun, no big deal.
00:10:50Congratulations.
00:10:51After three years of abstinence, you finally got laid.
00:10:53He called that nightmare fun,
00:10:55then dragged me to see his father, Lawrence.
00:10:57Well, when are you giving me a grandchild?
00:11:00I won't be around forever.
00:11:04Dad, it's not something we can rush.
00:11:06Three years and still nothing?
00:11:07Julian, just be straight with me.
00:11:09Are you having trouble in that area?
00:11:11I'm 26.
00:11:13Do you seriously think that's a possibility?
00:11:17Kathy, is it true?
00:11:20After three years of his coldness,
00:11:22I saw my chance to strike back.
00:11:24Catherine, you'd better think before you speak.
00:11:28Julian has a few concerns,
00:11:31but I believe he's seeking help.
00:11:34Julian, when the hell did this happen?
00:11:37You were so smart before.
00:11:39You really believe the nonsense that falls out of her mouth?
00:11:42Did you lose your sense?
00:11:43She's your wife.
00:11:44She sleeps beside you every night.
00:11:47If anyone knows your body, it's her.
00:11:51Don't stress, father.
00:11:53With how far medicine has come,
00:11:55there's nothing that can't be dealt with.
00:11:57But he's only in his 20s.
00:11:59And if it came to that,
00:12:01IVF is a completely normal option now.
00:12:04My nonchalant smile sliced right through his pride.
00:12:08Dad, there is nothing wrong with me.
00:12:11If that's true, show me.
00:12:18Show you?
00:12:20What, am I supposed to get an erection right here in front of you?
00:12:27I want a grandson in my arms before the end of the year!
00:12:31I almost dropped the cup in my hand, frozen in place.
00:12:34Julian saw my shock, but didn't help me at all.
00:12:36Want to prove your innocence?
00:12:37Clean up this mess yourself.
00:12:40Fine.
00:12:41Casey, make me proud.
00:12:43I knew I was cornered no matter what I said,
00:12:45so I just nodded tightly to get through the moment.
00:12:48Lawrence looked relieved and tired,
00:12:50then went back to his room.
00:12:51You care that I've never touched you, don't you?
00:12:54There has been no intimacy between us since we got married.
00:12:57And I'm telling the truth.
00:12:59So you're saying I'm incapable?
00:13:01How would I owe?
00:13:02Why don't you ask your mistress to explain it clearly to your father?
00:13:06Three years.
00:13:07Your mouth has jonly-stirted meek.
00:13:09Deluren can't yans.
00:13:10Tell him sooner rather than later.
00:13:12You just agreed with your own words.
00:13:14Have seconds now?
00:13:15You're far more skillful at scheming than your mother.
00:13:18You really know how to use yourself to manipulate people.
00:13:21Who decides whether I can get pregnant or not if not you?
00:13:24When have I ever begged you to make me pregnant?
00:13:29Julian, leaving so soon?
00:13:32Elise is badly injured.
00:13:33I just got back from the hospital.
00:13:35Please forgive me for being neglectful.
00:13:37Stay in the hospital and rest properly if she's badly hurt.
00:13:40Stop causing trouble all the time.
00:13:42Okay.
00:13:44I know she never likes me.
00:13:48In her eyes, I had no support and Julian had turned his back on me.
00:13:52Don't let Julian fool me.
00:13:54Find reliable people to keep an eye on them.
00:13:56I must have a grandson.
00:13:58Understood.
00:14:00I never wanted this marriage to begin with.
00:14:07Lawrence, isn't it too much for us to meddle in such a private matter?
00:14:10I know this isn't exactly above board, but that boy left me no choice.
00:14:15Do as I say.
00:14:17The sooner we settle this, the better.
00:14:19Mom!
00:14:20If that scheming bitch gets pregnant with Julian's child, what will happen to Louisa?
00:14:23She's the one who should marry my brother!
00:14:25You're just using her as an excuse to get close to her brother.
00:14:28Marrying into the right family will benefit you two!
00:14:31Don't worry.
00:14:32Everything is under my control.
00:14:34I never expected my divorce to become so complicated.
00:14:37Ever since I moved into Nash Manor, Austin's health has been deteriorating day by day.
00:14:42I was preparing a nutritious meal for Lawrence when Camille walked in.
00:14:45Mr. Nash is truly fortunate to have a thoughtful wife like you.
00:14:49The elder Mr. Nash said everything is fine.
00:14:52You just need to spend more time building a bond with Mr. Nash.
00:14:56She's a spy Lawrence sent to keep an eye on me.
00:14:58We haven't had a meal together since signing the divorce papers.
00:15:01Just as I was about to make up an excuse, Julian arrived.
00:15:05This is for Lawrence.
00:15:06If you're hungry, ask the nanny to make something for you.
00:15:09Catherine.
00:15:10Do you want some soup?
00:15:11Without waiting for his reply, I poured the soup down the drain.
00:15:15All right.
00:15:16There's nothing left now.
00:15:17Julian looked angry but said nothing.
00:15:19I felt as if I were locked in a cage.
00:15:21I didn't sleep that night and quietly went to the study to talk to him.
00:15:25I can handle your father, but we need a reasonable excuse.
00:15:30Bring your lover back.
00:15:32Say you've fallen for someone else.
00:15:34I'm willing to step aside.
00:15:38So if my dad gets too worked up and something happens to him, it's all on me now?
00:15:43That's a convenient little setup you've got there.
00:15:46He laughed that chilling humorless laugh that sent ice down my spine.
00:15:49Even if you manage to calm him down after telling him the truth, does that mean the drama ends there?
00:15:53Your mom, your brother, your chailed dad, will they all magically disappear from my family's radar?
00:15:57I never dragged you into any of their problems.
00:15:58True, you didn't come asking for handouts.
00:16:01But do you even know what kind of favors she's been cashing in?
00:16:03All right then.
00:16:04Show me what you've got.
00:16:06Or skip the effort.
00:16:07Just drug me.
00:16:08I'll even have a few bottles delivered.
00:16:19Aren't the two of you heading to bed soon?
00:16:24I thought he married me for love.
00:16:26It was always just a transaction.
00:16:32That business card.
00:16:34That night, that man.
00:16:35I kept it like my last trump card.
00:16:48Sir, I need to tell you something.
00:16:50Go on.
00:16:59It's about your wife.
00:17:01She messaged me last night.
00:17:05Sir, perhaps someone hacked your wife's number?
00:17:11As a prank to drive a wedge accusations?
00:17:15If it was a hack, the dark circles under your eyes tell me you'd have found the culprit last night.
00:17:19I checked.
00:17:20The message came from inside the villa.
00:17:22Get a new phone later.
00:17:23Charge it to the company.
00:17:25Sir, could she just be...
00:17:26venting?
00:17:27About that night?
00:17:31Unbelievable.
00:17:32She's scheming to get pregnant on the sly.
00:17:35Get a new SIM card.
00:17:36And hand over your current number.
00:17:40Sir, that number is connected to...
00:17:41Now.
00:17:44Got it, sir.
00:17:47And the investigation I ordered?
00:17:49Or are you getting paid a million dollars to cozy up to Eloase?
00:17:53Sir, please.
00:17:54Let me explain.
00:17:57I spent the day trying to see my father.
00:17:59But they wouldn't let me in.
00:18:00When I got home, the housekeeper met me at the door.
00:18:03Mrs. Nash.
00:18:04Mr. Nash asked if you could bring some food to the study.
00:18:07He's still waiting.
00:18:08He didn't touch dinner at all?
00:18:09Only a few sips of soup.
00:18:11He asked where you were.
00:18:15Where's Catherine?
00:18:17She went to the hospital, sir.
00:18:21Mrs. Nash said these were your favorites, so...
00:18:24I followed her instructions.
00:18:27She told you that?
00:18:30All my emotions are settling down at this moment.
00:18:37I am not his servant.
00:18:39Not anymore.
00:18:51What on earth are you doing here?
00:18:56This is my house.
00:18:57Why couldn't I be here?
00:19:01We've always kept to separate rooms.
00:19:03What changed tonight?
00:19:07The housekeeper's posted up outside.
00:19:09You can sneak back to your room once she's asleep.
00:19:13Fine.
00:19:14You figure out how to slip away.
00:19:16Before I could reply, he stripped off his shirt.
00:19:19I instinctively pulled the blanket tighter around myself.
00:19:22I'm just going for a shower.
00:19:23What did you think I was going to do?
00:19:25It's the dead of night.
00:19:26A man and a woman alone.
00:19:28How am I supposed to know what you're planning?
00:19:30Only if I'd lost my mind would I ever want anything with you.
00:19:33It really does seem like you've lost your grip these days.
00:19:37Want your freedom?
00:19:38Then deal with the housekeeper yourself.
00:19:40As he walked to the bathroom,
00:19:41my eyes landed on the scratch marks on his back.
00:19:44Deep scratches from a woman's nails.
00:19:46You take the bed.
00:19:46I'll handle the housekeeper tomorrow.
00:19:48I've changed the sheets.
00:19:49They're fresh.
00:19:53Didn't the housekeeper pass along my message?
00:19:55The whole table was loaded with food I'm allergic for.
00:19:58I couldn't touch it.
00:19:59What?
00:19:59Didn't she ask about your allergies before she began?
00:20:01His accusation was so heartless.
00:20:03I couldn't speak.
00:20:04Didn't she learn it all from you?
00:20:06Wasn't it your idea?
00:20:07To have her make something I couldn't eat
00:20:08so you could swoop in and save the day?
00:20:10I just spun around and fled the room in tears.
00:20:13I ended up in the kitchen,
00:20:14cooking pasta for him.
00:20:16As my tears fell into the boiling water.
00:20:20What, are we so broke we can't afford salt now?
00:20:23Is that why you're seasoning it like that?
00:20:27Next time, don't cry.
00:20:29You look like a ghost out for revenge.
00:20:34I snatched Julian's phone, put it on speaker.
00:20:37How's your face, Eloise?
00:20:39Still sore?
00:20:40Catherine?
00:20:41What are you doing with my brother's phone?
00:20:43You pushed your way into marrying him.
00:20:44He never sees you as his wife.
00:20:46Julian and I are married.
00:20:48Why wouldn't we be?
00:20:49You've destroyed whatever he had with Louisa.
00:20:51You're disgusting.
00:20:53Of course.
00:20:54It's all me.
00:20:56Every night I threaten him with a knife
00:20:57just to make him come home.
00:20:59Your father's serving 25 years
00:21:00for first degree murder, isn't he?
00:21:02No, he was framed.
00:21:04I, indeed, offered a guard 200,000 yesterday.
00:21:08But he didn't take it.
00:21:09The money wasn't yours.
00:21:11This won't affect you.
00:21:13I'm free next Wednesday.
00:21:15I'll go visit him with you.
00:21:17Doing this out of kindness?
00:21:18For a moment, warmth stirred in me.
00:21:20Then I saw his mocking smile.
00:21:22This was not kindness, but leverage.
00:21:24Aren't things like this part of being married?
00:21:27I apologized for last night.
00:21:29He stared at me longer than usual.
00:21:31Was that attraction?
00:21:36Don't read into it.
00:21:37I'm not a germaphobe.
00:21:38I just don't want anything left behind.
00:21:40Your hands touched it.
00:21:42I'm sorry about last night.
00:21:44I lost control.
00:21:45If there's anything you need from me,
00:21:47just say it.
00:21:49You grabbed my phone and provoked Elise.
00:21:52What exactly were you planning?
00:21:59That date, that promise, he was using it against me.
00:22:01Then I guess I should go ahead and cancel my plan next Wednesday.
00:22:05Me?
00:22:07Provoking Elise for some purpose?
00:22:09She came at me first, so I pushed back, that's all.
00:22:12I recorded the call.
00:22:13And you really think someone like her would be shaken by that?
00:22:19I thought about dropping it in your clan's group chat.
00:22:21That clip would have done more damage to you than to her.
00:22:23I made sure you weren't in it.
00:22:26You're still keeping your promise for next Wednesday, right?
00:22:29Can I trust you not to lie to me?
00:22:32Depends on how I feel.
00:22:34My leverage, worthless before him.
00:22:40If it weren't for Catherine pulling the strings with my dad,
00:22:43Julian wouldn't still be trapped in that ridiculous marriage.
00:22:46You don't deserve to be sidelined like this.
00:22:47I really don't mind.
00:22:49Just knowing I hold even a small place in his seant is enough for me.
00:22:52Hey, do you know if Julian's free tonight?
00:22:55I'll ask Kastin.
00:22:56He'll know what Julian's schedule looks like.
00:23:11Sure.
00:23:15Julian, would you like to have dinner with me?
00:23:18I'm free.
00:23:19Let's go.
00:23:21Not to get the Catherine-y.
00:23:24How's Catherine these days?
00:23:26You're not getting younger.
00:23:27You should think about your future.
00:23:28I'm focusing on my career.
00:23:32I waited for so long.
00:23:34Prepared his favorite dishes, lit candles.
00:23:37But he didn't come home.
00:23:50He's not incapable of romance.
00:23:52He just never was romantic with me.
00:23:59You're always at home, dressed plainly, no makeup.
00:24:02How can you expect Mr. Nash to stay interested?
00:24:04If you look beautiful and confident, he will come running back.
00:24:08But Julian already belongs to someone else.
00:24:11If he's free to enjoy himself out there, why should I be faithful?
00:24:17But cheating outside marriage is just not right.
00:24:21So Julian's actions aren't cheating?
00:24:23Is it because he's a man that it somehow doesn't count?
00:24:29The autumn wind is so cold.
00:24:31But compared to the chill in my heart, this cold is nothing.
00:24:42Is love really that necessary?
00:24:45This someone you mentioned, who exactly are you talking about?
00:24:49There was this dog.
00:24:50He had an owner.
00:24:51A real home.
00:24:52The owner even went as far as arranging a marriage for him.
00:24:55I saw the dog wandering alone, so I gave him some food.
00:24:58But some dogs just can't be tamed.
00:25:00For my father's visitation rights, I had to bow my head.
00:25:03This isn't surrender, it's strategy.
00:25:04That dog wouldn't happen to go by the name Nash, would it?
00:25:07It's me.
00:25:08I'm a dog.
00:25:09Come on, bark for me.
00:25:10Oh, and maybe get your heart checked.
00:25:12Every time you're near me, it goes wild.
00:25:15That's nonsense.
00:25:23You know what I'm really after.
00:25:29Hey, Dad.
00:25:31What's going on?
00:25:32At that moment, I knew everything was about to change.
00:25:37Let go.
00:25:39Not really.
00:25:40We haven't gone to bed yet.
00:25:41My only real wish now is for a grandchild.
00:25:45She was secretly studying up on the best positions.
00:25:49She's really worked wonders on you.
00:25:52He said I was studying positions, the bastard.
00:25:55This long?
00:25:57My hand touched somewhere I shouldn't have.
00:25:59The size.
00:26:00Impossible.
00:26:01Julian, you...
00:26:02You might have a medical condition.
00:26:04Maybe some kind of viragous issue?
00:26:07You don't have to sugarcoat it to compliment me.
00:26:09You and I can lead separate personal lives.
00:26:12But I can.
00:26:14If you can promise me he's innocent, changing the outcome is only a matter of time.
00:26:19I need to rest.
00:26:21This damn marriage.
00:26:23I didn't mean to shut it so hard earlier.
00:26:25I'm doing it again, properly this time.
00:26:27This damn marriage.
00:26:30Cason, book a complete medical evaluation for me first thing tomorrow.
00:26:37So it turns out I've hated the wrong person for five years.
00:26:41Five years.
00:26:42He endured so much understanding yet never offered an explanation.
00:26:46Julian, the husband I never gave a second glance.
00:26:49Now I understand what forbearance lay behind every coldness.
00:26:59What are you doing here?
00:27:01Routine check.
00:27:02How about you?
00:27:03Routine physical examination.
00:27:05So close yet so far.
00:27:07The distance between us has never felt so vast.
00:27:10So suffocating.
00:27:11Julian, that night...
00:27:13No need to say more.
00:27:14There's nothing to explain.
00:27:15But I...
00:27:16How is your inspection result?
00:27:18Is he running?
00:27:19Or protecting me?
00:27:20Sis, you look different today.
00:27:23There's light in your eyes.
00:27:24Has something...
00:27:26Happened?
00:27:28Nothing much.
00:27:30Just...
00:27:30Figured some things out.
00:27:32In this world, only you truly love me.
00:27:34Austin, dear brother.
00:27:35Mother never cared for us.
00:27:36We were just her pawns.
00:27:40Three years of marriage.
00:27:41All I got was silence and humiliation.
00:27:45This is a gift for Ernest.
00:27:46I need to pay for it myself.
00:27:48That's what makes it meaningful.
00:27:49I'm gonna put it on his wrist tonight.
00:27:51Your allowance seems to multiply rather quickly these days.
00:27:54Who said it's just your allowance?
00:27:56I've been investing with Louisa lately and made some money.
00:28:00Is she buying clothes for another man?
00:28:03Shut up.
00:28:04She's not like that.
00:28:05See?
00:28:06The sweater she's holding isn't even your size.
00:28:08It must be for some old man.
00:28:13Ma'am, this sweater will suit your dad perfectly.
00:28:18Let me look at this tie, too.
00:28:23Ma'am, this tie is this year's new style.
00:28:25Perfect for your husband.
00:28:29All right, I'll take it.
00:28:34Sir, madam is waiting for you upstairs.
00:28:37Waiting for me?
00:28:38Why?
00:28:39You'll know when you go up, sir.
00:28:45Catherine?
00:28:46You're waiting for me?
00:28:47Um, this is for you.
00:28:50For me?
00:28:51Why?
00:28:55So, what do you want?
00:28:58It's nothing.
00:28:59I saw a tie today and thought of you.
00:29:03You thought of me?
00:29:05How sweet.
00:29:07Do you like it?
00:29:09You put it on me.
00:29:13I've never learned to tie one properly.
00:29:15Used to insist on doing it.
00:29:17Every single morning.
00:29:19That version of me doesn't exist anymore.
00:29:20I've forgotten.
00:29:24Fine.
00:29:30It's done.
00:29:31Now, my dad's been worried.
00:29:33I thought if we took a picture together, it might easy his mind.
00:29:36A picture?
00:29:37All this drama for a picture?
00:29:39Just stand still.
00:29:40And could you try to look like you don't want to kill me?
00:29:43I leaned closer, forcing a painful smile, and miscalculated the distance my lips brushed
00:29:48as lightly.
00:29:50I'm sorry, I...
00:29:51Don't move.
00:29:52Why aren't you pushing me away?
00:29:54Where's the contempt?
00:29:56He didn't push me away.
00:29:58Instead, he held my waist and the back of my head, deepening the kiss.
00:30:08His kiss wasn't gentle.
00:30:10It was harsh and overpowering.
00:30:13Julian!
00:30:14Stop!
00:30:14Let me go!
00:30:16And I couldn't breathe.
00:30:17I tried to push him away, but he just pulled me onto his lap,
00:30:20his arms locking around my waist.
00:30:22Catherine.
00:30:25The moment his grip loosened, I scrambled to the other end of the room.
00:30:28You didn't take a picture.
00:30:30You recorded audio.
00:30:32Give that back to me!
00:30:34My life, he had recorded everything.
00:30:36All those little gasps.
00:30:37I must have missed them at the time.
00:30:39Delete it!
00:30:39This is my room!
00:30:41You need to get out!
00:30:45Later, with his help, I was finally able to visit my father in prison.
00:30:53Dad?
00:30:54It's me, Catherine.
00:30:56He looked so frail.
00:30:57He reached for me, trying to speak, but only distorted sounds came out.
00:31:01Miss Clark, our time is up.
00:31:03I don't understand.
00:31:05Who would do this?
00:31:07Before we left, Mr. Nash instructed me to check on your father's circumstances.
00:31:12Julian did?
00:31:13Julian?
00:31:14Why would he do that?
00:31:15I spoke to an old acquaintance inside.
00:31:17He'll make sure your father is protected.
00:31:19He planned for this?
00:31:21He knew.
00:31:22He knew this would happen.
00:31:26This is a specialty pastry from Julian's mother's hometown.
00:31:30He loved it as a child.
00:31:32I'll learn carefully.
00:31:34To thank him, I learned to make his Child Hill pastry.
00:31:43The lobby was as cold and imposing as the man who owned it.
00:31:48No appointment, no meeting.
00:31:50You need to leave.
00:31:51I refused to be intimidated.
00:31:53I was just here to deliver a thank you.
00:31:55I'm just dropping something off for Julian Nash.
00:31:57You can check with his assistant.
00:32:00Every woman who shows up says the same thing.
00:32:03Spare me the act.
00:32:04Just call Kazen Price.
00:32:05If you're so confident, call him yourself.
00:32:08Or do you think you're Miss Wright, who can waltz in here whenever she pleases?
00:32:12Her words hit me like a physical blow.
00:32:14Miss Wright.
00:32:15The name echoed in the cavernous lobby and in my heart.
00:32:20I took out my phone and called Julian, but it went unanswered.
00:32:23Having trouble getting through?
00:32:26Fine.
00:32:27I'll just leave this here.
00:32:29Please see that he gets it.
00:32:31Don't bother.
00:32:32He won't touch anything you bring.
00:32:34It'll go straight in the trash.
00:32:36Just then, a familiar ding cut through the silence, and the world seemed to stop.
00:32:41Good day, Mr. Nash.
00:32:43Catherine.
00:32:45Why didn't you wait for me in my office?
00:32:48Have you eaten?
00:32:49Let's talk upstairs.
00:32:51No.
00:32:52I made this to thank you.
00:32:54Eat it or throw it away.
00:32:56I'm leaving.
00:32:56I turned to walk away, but he caught my wrist, his grip firm.
00:33:01Why are you acting like this?
00:33:03Did she give you trouble?
00:33:09Mr. Price, please.
00:33:11I fought so hard for this job.
00:33:13I swear I didn't do anything to her.
00:33:14You made a huge mistake.
00:33:15HR will handle your severance.
00:33:19I followed Julian into his office.
00:33:22He opened the pastry box I brought, and the fragrance drifted softly through the silent air.
00:33:28Well, be honest.
00:33:30What's the score?
00:33:34Three out of ten.
00:33:36Huh.
00:33:37Three?
00:33:38And yet you're devoustering them like a starving man.
00:33:40What a liar.
00:33:44How did the housekeeper know how to make these?
00:33:46He said it's a specialty from your mother's hometown.
00:33:48Thought you might remember the taste.
00:33:50His face shifted.
00:33:51Just a flicker of something unreadable crossing his features.
00:33:55Before he set the empty container aside.
00:33:57What's wrong?
00:33:58If you hated it, just say so.
00:33:59I won't make it again.
00:34:01Catherine.
00:34:02Catherine.
00:34:02Why doesn't your cooking ever set off my allergies?
00:34:07Just took some effort, that's all.
00:34:11There's a private lounge here.
00:34:13Get cleaned up with a hot shower before you go.
00:34:17It's fine.
00:34:18I'll just do it at home.
00:34:20If you end up with pneumonia, I'm tossing you and the pastries straight into the dumpster.
00:34:25Your top's practically transparent.
00:34:29You got a problem?
00:34:33I stepped out of his shower, wrapped in a towel.
00:34:37And let's remember the mom's scuvition towel, only to realize my clothes were still dripping wet.
00:34:48That moment, my heart skipped a beat.
00:34:50His gesture so casual, as if no distance existed between us at all.
00:34:59I thought he needed comfort, never knowing his wound wasn't in longing, but in those pasts he refused to speak
00:35:04of.
00:35:06Thinking about your mom?
00:35:07I barely remember her face.
00:35:09So no, not likely.
00:35:16I, I wasn't aware she was here.
00:35:18Apologies, I'll come back.
00:35:24Since you like it, try it on.
00:35:28That moment, my heart skipped a beat.
00:35:30His gesture so casual, as if no distance existed between us at all.
00:35:36Pretty average.
00:35:45We went shopping at the boutique with laughter and joy.
00:35:50Oh, come on.
00:35:51You and your husband must have experimented, right?
00:35:54After exiting the mall, I saw his car parked by the roadside.
00:36:00Julian!
00:36:01What a surprise seeing you here!
00:36:05I found out later what happened to the necklace Julian gave me.
00:36:08He went to his office and found the velvet box gone.
00:36:10Has my wife been in my office lately?
00:36:12No, sir.
00:36:13But your sister has stopped by more than once.
00:36:17What's wrong, Eloine?
00:36:19It's Julian!
00:36:20He's being so dramatic!
00:36:21I bet Catherine stirred things up and now he's lashing out at me!
00:36:24Eloine, isn't Linna Grant hosting a celebration soon?
00:36:27Let's merge my birthday celebration with her event.
00:36:29A birthday is just a date.
00:36:30Building connections is what truly matters.
00:36:31Your league's ahead of Catherine, so thoughtful and poised.
00:36:34He'd be a fool not to fall for you!
00:36:36What is it?
00:36:37I need a shirt to go with this.
00:36:39There's an event tomorrow.
00:36:40What kind of event is it?
00:36:41Are you one of the key guests?
00:36:42It's Lila Grant's hundred-day milestone with her boyfriend.
00:36:45I'm just talking business.
00:36:45I don't want to draw too much attention.
00:36:47I was just adjusting his collar, but my fingers brushed against his chest.
00:36:51He was perfectly sculpted.
00:36:52Lost in thought, or are you meditating?
00:36:54Feel free to admire.
00:36:56I can take the shirt off if you want a better look.
00:36:59Take off your shirt, now.
00:37:01And what exactly are those flower-shaped things?
00:37:04Nipple covers.
00:37:04I got them ages ago.
00:37:06Your shirt is sheer.
00:37:07These will prevent things from showing.
00:37:11And slap them onto his chest.
00:37:14That's all.
00:37:14I'm going to bed now.
00:37:16At the gala, I stared at my reflection, almost a stranger to myself.
00:37:21I put on the mask, hoping to remain unseen.
00:37:29Miss Grant, today is my birthday, and Julian has been buried in work.
00:37:33Could I borrow your pianist for just a moment?
00:37:35A song might help him relax.
00:37:37I'll need to ask first.
00:37:39It should be her choice.
00:37:41I appreciate that.
00:37:43She's the pianist I mentioned.
00:37:45Incredibly gifted.
00:37:46Miss Grant, you're giving me too much credit.
00:37:48I'm just here to earn a living.
00:37:50You're too humble.
00:37:51They brought in a steinweye for you.
00:37:53So, what's with the mask?
00:37:55It's just how the outfit was designed.
00:38:03I kept telling myself I had moved on, but seeing them together was a special kind of cruelty.
00:38:13Catherine, I have to get back.
00:38:16So, it really is you.
00:38:17Leaving already?
00:38:18That's a little impolite.
00:38:20Please, let me pass.
00:38:22Are you afraid of me?
00:38:23But why?
00:38:24I'm just someone Julian knows.
00:38:26You're his wife, aren't you?
00:38:28Or does seeing me really shake you that much?
00:38:34I ran, her mocking voice echoing behind me.
00:38:38I had to get this over with.
00:38:42This pastry is claying.
00:38:44Already bored?
00:38:45We can head out soon if you want.
00:38:47No need to worry about me.
00:38:48Then, the light softened.
00:38:50A piano melody swept through the hall.
00:38:53Everyone turned to watch the couple kiss.
00:38:57But Julian's eyes, they bypassed them completely and landed right on me.
00:39:04Even in a room full of people, I could feel the whispers turning towards me.
00:39:09Who is that at the piano?
00:39:10I don't know.
00:39:11I've never seen her before.
00:39:13She seems young.
00:39:14Probably just hired help.
00:39:15If she's not from our circle, I might have a shot.
00:39:19Don't.
00:39:22I could feel his eyes on me from across the room, a commanding presence that felt like
00:39:26it could see right through my mask.
00:39:32Julian!
00:39:33Then, a cheerful voice cut through the tension, pulling his attention away.
00:39:38What's inside?
00:39:39It's for you.
00:39:40How would I know?
00:39:41Just open it.
00:39:44He pulled the ribbon, and pink balloons soared into the air one after another, with Louisa
00:39:49emerging from among them.
00:39:53It's your birthday.
00:39:54Why wrap yourself like a present?
00:39:57Will you take the gift, Julian?
00:39:59Watching him offer tenderness to another woman sent a sharp H through me.
00:40:03He was my husband, and I was just a bystander.
00:40:06Miss, here's the piece Miss Wright asked for.
00:40:11I braced myself and began to play, but my fingers faltered, striking a harsh, jaring
00:40:16chord that silenced the hall.
00:40:19What happened?
00:40:21She stopped.
00:40:22A blade.
00:40:23There's a blade wedged between the keys.
00:40:33Hurts, doesn't it?
00:40:39I found the blade Louisa hid between the piano keys.
00:40:42An execution aimed straight at my hands.
00:40:45What made her stop playing all of a sudden?
00:40:47Seriously, who hired this pianist?
00:40:49Is she deaf or just ignoring us?
00:40:51I pulled the blade free and began to play again.
00:40:53What is this melody?
00:40:54It's haunting.
00:40:56She should be crying in pain.
00:40:58Is she playing a mourning song on Louisa's birthday?
00:41:02Julian, why is everyone staring?
00:41:04They don't seem very pleased.
00:41:06Julian, it's my fault.
00:41:07I only meant to borrow her for a short while.
00:41:10Maybe she's upset.
00:41:11She's not even mad, right?
00:41:12She's playing perfectly fine.
00:41:14Please, just let it go.
00:41:15I should have thought things through.
00:41:17Eloane, bring her here.
00:41:20When the last note faded, I didn't wait to be summoned.
00:41:24I snatched a silver fork from a table and walked straight for her.
00:41:30My brother wants to talk to you.
00:41:34Julian, stop her!
00:41:35She's coming for me!
00:41:38That's enough.
00:41:40I sidestepped him and lunged for Louisa.
00:41:43He moved to block me, catching my wrist just as he ripped my mask away.
00:41:49Catherine?
00:41:50Are you out of your damn mind?
00:41:52Let. Go.
00:41:54She tried to stab me, Julian!
00:41:56She's insane!
00:41:57My grip-ripped tightened.
00:41:59You will answer to me!
00:42:02No.
00:42:03She will.
00:42:06I sent Louisa crashing to the floor with one swift kick.
00:42:11What the hell is wrong with you?
00:42:13You crazy bitch!
00:42:14Enough!
00:42:16He seized my wrist and jerked me backward, shoving me toward Louisa.
00:42:21Say you're sorry.
00:42:23Let me go.
00:42:25You're going to apologize.
00:42:28Right now.
00:42:29If you want to play judge, call the cops.
00:42:32You don't get to command me.
00:42:34Julian!
00:42:34This is a public event.
00:42:36Let it go.
00:42:37Ernest.
00:42:39Take Louisa to the hospital.
00:42:43Julian.
00:42:43He dragged me out of the hotel, his grip like iron.
00:42:52Why did you go after Louisa?
00:42:54Let me go.
00:42:56Answer me.
00:42:57What do you want me to admit?
00:42:59Even if she started it, you wouldn't believe me anyway.
00:43:02Started it?
00:43:03She never left my side.
00:43:05Do you hear how ridiculous you sound?
00:43:08I knew you'd say that.
00:43:09You always rush to her defense.
00:43:12Starting now, you don't mean anything to me.
00:43:20Julian, come with me.
00:43:22Louisa needs you at the hospital.
00:43:29The banquet scene was in chaos.
00:43:31I walked tall, unable to hide the turmoil inside me.
00:43:34Trail her.
00:43:36Make sure she gets back safely.
00:43:38Yes, sir.
00:43:42What's going on with Louisa?
00:43:44You're going to check on her?
00:43:46One more won't make a difference.
00:43:47She might refuse the driver you sent.
00:43:49Should I take her?
00:43:50Your own sister is hurt, and you're worried about her instead?
00:43:53Just a joke.
00:43:54I know my limits.
00:43:55The dried blood catching the light.
00:43:57Wait.
00:43:57Is this blood?
00:43:59Get this treated at the hospital.
00:44:05She humiliated me, and Julian just stood by and watched?
00:44:10You'd better be honest about what you did to Catherine.
00:44:13It's just a minor injury.
00:44:16He won't care.
00:44:19Sir, Madam hasn't returned home yet.
00:44:24Don't mention her again.
00:44:26She was so full of joy this morning, saying she wanted to celebrate with you.
00:44:32I'm sorry for getting you mixed up in this.
00:44:35I just lost control for a moment.
00:44:37You're too soft.
00:44:39If it had been me, I would have killed her.
00:44:43I later learned that Lila insisted on talking to Julian.
00:44:46We don't even know Julian Nash.
00:44:48Why on earth would he care what we have to say?
00:44:50Lila was annoyed by Louisa's overstepping at her party.
00:44:53Whether he listens or not doesn't matter.
00:44:56I just want to get some justice.
00:44:59Julian agreed to the meeting easily, but his mood was unusually bad that day.
00:45:05That night involved Miss Wright and Mrs. Nash.
00:45:07It would reflect poorly on us.
00:45:09What does that have to do with me?
00:45:10But Miss Wright, she's...
00:45:12There's nothing between us.
00:45:13There is nothing between us.
00:45:14What are you standing there for?
00:45:16Got nothing better to do?
00:45:17Get out!
00:45:18Was your hand badly hurt?
00:45:20The stitches are out already.
00:45:21I'm fine.
00:45:22Why is Louisa targeting you?
00:45:24Does Julian have a crush on you?
00:45:27It's not that dramatic.
00:45:28On the day of their meeting, it rained heavily.
00:45:31What gives you and Louisa the right to bully Catherine?
00:45:36A victim who attacks people with a fork and knocks someone flying with one kick?
00:45:41How very novel.
00:45:42Why don't you ask what Louisa did first?
00:45:48Catherine cut her finger on a blade hidden in the piano keys and required several stitches.
00:45:52The truth began to surface during the dinner between Julian and Lila.
00:45:56When did this happen?
00:45:57After you left, the razor blade was hidden inside the new sheet music.
00:46:00I handed the matter of last week's banquet over to the police.
00:46:03I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:46:05Police visit late at night.
00:46:07What trouble have you got yourself into this time?
00:46:09Leave me alone.
00:46:10Do whatever it takes to fix this.
00:46:12Is this about Catherine?
00:46:14Has he lost his mind defending her like this?
00:46:17He doesn't love you.
00:46:18Mrs. Catherine takes on jobs in three fields at the same time.
00:46:20Design, music, and translation.
00:46:22Her annual income is quite significant.
00:46:23She earns between $50,000 and $200,000 per performance.
00:46:26One more thing.
00:46:27The card you gave her was recently charged overseas for over $3 million.
00:46:30What did she buy?
00:46:31A McLaren.
00:46:31Call Catherine and tell her to come back.
00:46:33The madam might be busy.
00:46:35Would you like to call her personally?
00:46:37You call her.
00:46:38Without a word, Julian passed her his phone.
00:46:40Still no answer.
00:46:41Call again.
00:46:42Sir, it seems she has blocked you.
00:46:46I blocked him.
00:46:47He looked very angry.
00:46:51I loathed going back to that so-called home and unexpectedly ran into him.
00:46:56I just came back to get something.
00:46:58I'll leave right away.
00:47:00Catherine, let's talk.
00:47:02There's nothing to talk about.
00:47:06Louisa started it.
00:47:07You didn't explain it properly at all.
00:47:10So you've figured it all out now?
00:47:12I've already warned her.
00:47:14Your card was taken by Aline.
00:47:16Why didn't you tell me?
00:47:17Some things are pointless to say.
00:47:19Can't you just talk sense?
00:47:20I'm only talking to you the way you deserve.
00:47:22Then we'll talk in the study.
00:47:23Is this how a man should act?
00:47:25Let go of me!
00:47:26Have you lost your mind?
00:47:30Later, Julian went to the hospital.
00:47:32When Kacen brought the necklace he prepared for me, he gave it to Kacen in anger.
00:47:36It's yours now.
00:47:37Isn't this necklace for madam?
00:47:39It would be a waste to give it to her.
00:47:41Shall we head home, Mr. Julian?
00:47:44To the company.
00:47:48I ran into Ernest unexpectedly at the hospital, and he apologized for Louisa's behavior at
00:47:53the party.
00:47:54Don't you lay a finger on Catherine.
00:47:58Julian, you are overthinking.
00:47:59I simply ran into Miss Clark and had a few words with her.
00:48:02What?
00:48:03Have you taken a fancy to married women now?
00:48:06Catherine will never get a divorce.
00:48:08Don't waste your time.
00:48:09How dare you fool around with another man right outside the hospital?
00:48:11What exactly are you back for?
00:48:13For your dignity or for your eyesight?
00:48:15What are you scheming with the rights, and why do you need Ernest personal business card?
00:48:18Is accepting a business card can come flirting?
00:48:21Am I to be suspected even for just talking to someone?
00:48:26Hello?
00:48:27I'm at the lounge.
00:48:28Could you send someone to pick me up?
00:48:29It's near the hotel.
00:48:31Stay right there.
00:48:32I'm on my way.
00:48:33One more round!
00:48:34Bring it on!
00:48:36Who are you?
00:48:39It's time to go back to the hotel.
00:48:40Are you with the hotel?
00:48:42No, but I've spoken with the front desk.
00:48:44Just come with me.
00:48:45Who exactly are you?
00:48:46Mr. A.
00:48:51What?
00:48:53What are you doing?
00:48:54You are Julian Nash's wife, so I can't show my face.
00:48:58Don't mention him in front of me.
00:49:00He blindfolded me with his tie and held me.
00:49:02Nervous at first, I forced myself to relax.
00:49:04So nervous?
00:49:05Don't you like this?
00:49:07No.
00:49:08Not getting along with Julian Nash?
00:49:10Don't mention him again.
00:49:12In the car, he asked about Julian again, and I didn't want to talk about it.
00:49:17Later, in the dark hotel room, he suddenly kissed me, and I couldn't resist at all.
00:49:24Out of breath already?
00:49:25Not used to kissing?
00:49:28Don't.
00:49:29We shouldn't be this intimate.
00:49:30Really?
00:49:32Then what exactly are we to each other?
00:49:34Pretending to be Mr. A to cheat on myself?
00:49:37That's completely crazy.
00:49:44What happened last night?
00:49:48Waking up, everything felt like a dream.
00:49:51But my body remembers every moment.
00:49:58One month, he thinks I can be bought.
00:50:03Let me introduce Mr. Nash, CEO of Nash Group.
00:50:09We've never met.
00:50:12A pleasure, Mr. Nash.
00:50:14In that moment, time stood still.
00:50:17It was him, Mr. A.
00:50:19We had to pretend we'd never met.
00:50:21This city is full of women like you, Ms. Clark.
00:50:26Professional, elegant, and available for the right price.
00:50:31The contract terms are standard, Mr. Nash.
00:50:34Every word was a dagger from last night.
00:50:37I had to stay calm.
00:50:38Couldn't let him see me waver.
00:50:40Have dinner with me.
00:50:42I don't think that's appropriate.
00:50:45You already spent last night with your husband.
00:50:48One dinner.
00:50:49That's all I'm asking.
00:50:57Tonight, everything is under control.
00:51:02She thinks she's the hunter.
00:51:04Little does she know, the prey has its eyes on her.
00:51:08Well, well.
00:51:09Look who decided to show up.
00:51:12Words are the finest weapons.
00:51:14And I never miss my mark.
00:51:17Julian mentioned you'd be difficult.
00:51:19I can see why he prefers my company.
00:51:22Does he?
00:51:23Or is it that you're simply available?
00:51:25You think you're so clever?
00:51:26No, Louisa.
00:51:27I don't think.
00:51:28I know.
00:51:29And that's the difference between us.
00:51:31I'm his wife.
00:51:32You're just a distraction.
00:51:39I thought the battlefield was settled.
00:51:41I was wrong.
00:51:42The real fight was just beginning.
00:51:48Did you enjoy your little game?
00:51:50His kiss wasn't love.
00:51:51It was a mark.
00:51:52A possession.
00:51:53A vengeance.
00:51:56You're mine, Catherine.
00:51:58Never forget that.
00:52:02A thinks he's won.
00:52:03But he doesn't know my counterattack has just begun.
00:52:06Remember your place, darling.
00:52:13This is an additional card.
00:52:14It's capped at $10 million a month.
00:52:16You should have been using it all along.
00:52:17There's no need to hold back on Mike.
00:52:18I don't need it.
00:52:19Three years beside me and not a dime touched.
00:52:21What?
00:52:21What?
00:52:21When we part ways, are you planning to tell people I was cold and stingy?
00:52:23Not everyone thinks badly of others.
00:52:25You never really know someone's nature.
00:52:26I'd rather not leave behind any loose ends.
00:52:27Don't want it?
00:52:28Trash it.
00:52:28Just remember, bank cards go in recycling bin.
00:52:31You've avoided home for nearly a month.
00:52:33Want to return willingly?
00:52:34Or should my dad come fetch you himself?
00:52:36Your call.
00:52:37His threat weighs like a stone on my heart.
00:52:43You don't like it?
00:52:45This is all for appearances.
00:52:47Why go to all that trouble?
00:52:48It's not for show.
00:52:49I picked it out for you.
00:52:51Is your office running late tonight?
00:52:53Nash Group doesn't believe in overtime.
00:52:55Right.
00:52:56His message isn't from the person I texted.
00:52:59Let's talk later.
00:53:01Let's not keep Lawrence waiting.
00:53:02We should go.
00:53:04We're here.
00:53:07This bracelet is a hollow gesture.
00:53:09I'd prefer something simpler.
00:53:11Absolutely not.
00:53:12You give me a grand grand sub, Julian, and I'll never meddle in your personal matters again.
00:53:15You made the exact same promise when you forced me into marriage.
00:53:18Did you really think I'd fall for it twice?
00:53:20His silence is a volcano about to erupt.
00:53:23I don't want her around.
00:53:25What's your problem?
00:53:26Was it necessary to screech chair across the floor?
00:53:32That's a lie.
00:53:33When did I ever say that?
00:53:34You're twisting everything.
00:53:36Still denying it?
00:53:37Look at the way you're acting.
00:53:38All right.
00:53:39Enough of this.
00:53:39You're an adult now.
00:53:40You can't crumble over every little thing.
00:53:42Camille, is that what Elish told you?
00:53:43Because I remember it very differently.
00:53:45Elish, you practically stole that card from me, insisting I wasn't worthy of Julian or the Nash family's resources.
00:53:49What are you saying?
00:53:50You never asked.
00:53:51I never asked?
00:53:52That card carried six million a year.
00:53:54You took it without saying a word?
00:53:56You did, but I thought...
00:53:58Six million a year, not even 20 over three.
00:54:00If Catherine wants it back, I'll wire it to her.
00:54:03If paying back stolen funds solved everything, there'd be no need for law enforcement.
00:54:06Stolen?
00:54:07That's a bit much, don't you think?
00:54:09Return the money you took.
00:54:10Double the amount.
00:54:11Starting now, I'll handle your allowance.
00:54:13Ten thousand per month for the next three years.
00:54:16Only ten thousand?
00:54:17Wasn't it your mother who said you were too young to need that kind of money?
00:54:21His decision surprises me.
00:54:23Kath, it's getting late.
00:54:25You and Julia should spend the night here and join me for breakfast tomorrow.
00:54:30All right, Lawrence.
00:54:32Come, Eloise.
00:54:33Let's go upstairs.
00:54:36Next time something happens, come to me directly.
00:54:38Don't stir up trouble that can be avoided.
00:54:41Hmm.
00:54:43Pick a room for the night.
00:54:45I'll have someone prepare it.
00:54:47Who is he?
00:54:48Why does he always appear when I need him?
00:54:55The tension between Julian and his father was thick enough to choke on.
00:54:59What happened in that room?
00:55:00He stood in the shadows.
00:55:02When I was nice to Camille tonight, it wasn't because I meant it.
00:55:06I just wanted to get under Alacia's skin.
00:55:08Why are you justifying yourself to me?
00:55:11If they don't have it in this city, go find it in another one.
00:55:14Do I have to spell everything out for you?
00:55:16They're hard to get, actually.
00:55:18They're custom-made Alba Custom Fragrances.
00:55:24Julian, there's no extra blanket here.
00:55:26If you're that cold, come share it.
00:55:29The bed had only one blanket, and Julian was already lying there, expecting me to share it.
00:55:33Frustrated, I kicked the bed.
00:55:34A mistake.
00:55:35Instant toe pain.
00:55:37Catherine, remind me.
00:55:39How old are you again?
00:55:46Mr. Nash said to make sure you both drink it.
00:55:49I have to report back once it's done.
00:55:52Julian, get up.
00:55:54You need to drink the soup.
00:56:02Before I could react, he pulled me into his arms and forced the soup into my mouth through a kiss.
00:56:11After changing into our pajamas, I slammed my foot down on his with a fury that made the floorboards rattle.
00:56:16But he didn't even flinch.
00:56:18That stuff must work quick.
00:56:20Look at you.
00:56:21Suddenly full of energy.
00:56:23In the dark, I heard muffled, breathing, strange, restrained sounds.
00:56:27My mind lit up with images I shouldn't be thinking about.
00:56:31I woke up to find myself collapsed right on top of him.
00:56:34Worse, my hand had connected with his face, and then his most sensitive area.
00:56:38I didn't mean to.
00:56:39I'm really sorry.
00:56:41When I sleep, I clutch onto a pillow.
00:56:43I guess I thought you were one.
00:56:45He claimed the bed was too flimsy for intimacy.
00:56:47I blushed in utter mortification.
00:56:49Didn't get much sleep, did you?
00:56:51What's going on with you?
00:56:52The bed in my room is too flimsy for certain activities.
00:56:54We moved to the balcony.
00:56:56Guess the cold wind got me sick.
00:57:01Inside the car, Julian coldly asked me why I was so kind to his father.
00:57:06Then told him the truth.
00:57:07What did my dad give you to make you treat him so kindly?
00:57:11When debt collectors came and forced me to sell myself, it was your father who stepped in.
00:57:17He gave me the money to fix everything.
00:57:20He checked the sum his father had given me.
00:57:22800,000.
00:57:23His expression was unreadable.
00:57:25Only 800,000?
00:57:31Oh, absolutely.
00:57:33Mr. Nash is wonderful to work with.
00:57:34We've even become friends over the course of our collaboration.
00:57:37Since you two are friends now, Mr. Dupont, there's something I think you should know.
00:57:41Your temporary interpreter, Ms. Clark, she doesn't even hold a real translation certification.
00:57:46Is that really the case?
00:57:47I'd be more than happy to help you arrange that, free of charge.
00:57:51One more thing, Ms. Wright.
00:57:52It's never a good idea to badmuff people when they're not around.
00:57:58Julian, I hate to bother you, but Elise has been really upset lately.
00:58:02She keeps coming to me in tears, and I can't just stand by, so I had to come come talk
00:58:05to you about it.
00:58:06Let her cry all she wants.
00:58:08Don't give her a single cent.
00:58:10Understood?
00:58:10Mr. Nash, it seems you're lucky to have Ms. Wright's expert hands.
00:58:14Sounds like he's envious.
00:58:15Why don't you give him one later?
00:58:16I wouldn't even think of it.
00:58:21In that moment, I saw the challenge in her eyes, and the evasion in his.
00:58:25We were husband and wife, yet we stared at each other like strangers.
00:58:29This game was just beginning.
00:58:31How about nine?
00:58:33Sorry, I'm unavailable tonight.
00:58:34You invited me last time, but I showed up at the hotel and never saw you.
00:58:38I had something urgent come up.
00:58:39I explained afterward.
00:58:41I didn't see your message.
00:58:42Okay.
00:58:46Julian, what's caught your eye?
00:58:48Something R-80.
00:58:54What hotel are we heading to?
00:58:56Riverpoint Hotel.
00:58:58That's a pretty low tier pick.
00:59:02Doesn't look like he's investing much in you.
00:59:10The room was dark, and so was my heart.
00:59:12I knew he was on his way.
00:59:14I knew I shouldn't expect anything.
00:59:16But that familiar feeling, it wouldn't fade.
00:59:23Seriously?
00:59:24Don't bring him up right now.
00:59:25You're killing the moment.
00:59:27Then why don't you pretend I'm him?
00:59:29Doesn't bother me.
00:59:31Treat me as your husband.
00:59:32Just for a moment, you sounded exactly like my jerk husband.
00:59:37Still haunted by him, huh?
00:59:50Again.
00:59:51Every time I wake up, he's gone.
00:59:54I bit him.
00:59:55If he's Julian, there should be marks.
00:59:56I have to know.
01:00:04You actually seem more energized the more you work.
01:00:06I had a little too much last night.
01:00:09Got all this energy to burn.
01:00:11Nested that too.
01:00:12Gotta let it out somehow.
01:00:14Oh no, I'm so sorry.
01:00:16I didn't mean to.
01:00:17Good thing I brought you a new shirt.
01:00:19Go change quickly.
01:00:23Your shirt is $699.
01:00:25You owe me that much.
01:00:27Catherine said Julian owed her for the shirt.
01:00:29He gave her $80,000 without a glance.
01:00:31I'll drive you back.
01:00:32Julian drives the exhausted Catherine home.
01:00:35At home, Julian carried the sleeping Catherine to her bed,
01:00:38but she wouldn't let go of his arm.
01:00:39Let go?
01:00:40She didn't, so he shoved an ugly turtle plush into her arms and left.
01:00:45Under the pillow, he found their marriage certificate.
01:00:48His name was blacked out with angry marker strokes.
01:00:51The corners were frayed.
01:00:52She'd held it too many times.
01:00:54What are you filming?
01:00:54Mr. Nash, I just think it's so nice to have the madam back.
01:00:57I saw you holding your wife.
01:00:58It was so sweet, I couldn't help myself.
01:01:00He finally came to his senses.
01:01:02Looks like my efforts weren't in vain.
01:01:04Can I post this on social media?
01:01:07That's for Julian.
01:01:09Can you not eat it all?
01:01:10Don't push your luck.
01:01:11He throws away everything you give him without even looking at it.
01:01:13What exactly are you trying to say?
01:01:15Are you still going to send it?
01:01:17What role do you think you play in their story?
01:01:22You've got some nerve cheating on someone who belongs to Lila.
01:01:25You just said you'd do anything, right?
01:01:27Mm-hmm.
01:01:28Because right now, LS, I have an idea.
01:01:35I've thought of a way to finally get back at her.
01:01:39I'm listening.
01:01:41Okay.
01:01:44See that?
01:01:45Perfect ammunition.
01:01:48Recording.
01:01:49Got it.
01:01:50You're brilliant!
01:01:51One video takes down both of them!
01:01:53As long as you're pleased.
01:01:54Just don't go too far.
01:01:59Insurance.
01:02:00For later.
01:02:01I don't want to leave you, Pearson.
01:02:02When will I see you again?
01:02:04Lila's going on a trip next week.
01:02:06Then I'm all yours, babe.
01:02:07Pearson looked quite pleased with himself.
01:02:09But as soon as her car drove away, he turned around and froze.
01:02:12Bold of you, carrying on in public like this.
01:02:15What?
01:02:16What do you want?
01:02:19Something feels off.
01:02:20Mr. Nash must really adore you.
01:02:22These are all top tier.
01:02:23Since when does Julian buy me gifts like this?
01:02:26Who else do you think I bought them for?
01:02:28Louisa Wright, of course.
01:02:29Those dresses were made for flat chests.
01:02:31She wouldn't fit even if she tried.
01:02:34Up for it?
01:02:35I want to see your face.
01:02:37Knowing too much could be dangerous.
01:02:39The food's for you.
01:02:40Go ahead.
01:02:41Thanks.
01:02:42I'll wait.
01:02:43Let's eat together.
01:02:44I've already eaten.
01:02:45You remind me of my husband.
01:02:47Then why not just turn on the light and take a look?
01:02:50I think it's better if we stick to the rules.
01:02:53Why do you love him so much?
01:02:55You talk too much.
01:02:57You're sensitive everywhere, huh?
01:03:01He's allergic to cream.
01:03:03But this man doesn't care.
01:03:05You...
01:03:06Are you planning to eat all of it with your mouth?
01:03:08Of course.
01:03:09Then...
01:03:11Maybe don't eat too much.
01:03:14Cream's not poison.
01:03:16Why shouldn't I have more?
01:03:17I just can't.
01:03:18I just can't.
01:03:22It's okay.
01:03:23Let it all out.
01:03:25His arms comforted me, but could not heal my heart.
01:03:27I want to stop loving him.
01:03:30Late at night, his call broke the silence.
01:03:33Oh!
01:03:34My heart skipped a beat.
01:03:39Hello?
01:03:40Pyerson?
01:03:41At this hour?
01:03:42What is it?
01:03:43Catherine, I have a favor to ask.
01:03:45Can you design a dress for Lila?
01:03:46It's a surprise.
01:03:49Smells good.
01:03:50You're a great cook.
01:03:51Thanks.
01:03:53I hope you like it.
01:03:54Standing at his door, I knew it was dangerous.
01:03:57Yet I couldn't stay away.
01:03:59Miss Clark, you're even more stunning in person than in the photos.
01:04:03If you're feeling warm, don't hesitate to take off your coat.
01:04:05I...
01:04:06I need to see Lila about the dress.
01:04:10Care to explain what's going on?
01:04:12You really think sitting alone with me in the living room counts as a threat?
01:04:16All right, all right.
01:04:18Cautious girls are all the rage these days.
01:04:20I'll go grab her.
01:04:21That would be appreciated.
01:04:24Catherine!
01:04:25Why were you standing out here?
01:04:27It's freezing.
01:04:28Look at these.
01:04:29They'd look perfect on you.
01:04:30Thank you, Lila.
01:04:31They're beautiful.
01:04:33Do you mind giving us some space?
01:04:34This is girl time.
01:04:35Why are you even still here?
01:04:36Fine, fine.
01:04:37I'll leave you two to your girl time.
01:04:39So, Catherine, what brings you over today?
01:04:42Really?
01:04:42I just needed to see a friend.
01:04:44But I couldn't stay.
01:04:45Every second in that house felt like suffocation.
01:04:48I needed to escape.
01:04:49Just curious, Miss Clark.
01:04:50Does the surprise I planned for Lila make you feel any pressure?
01:04:53Did I somehow offend you?
01:04:54If something at the last party rubbed you the wrong way, just come out with it.
01:04:56I'll fix it if I can.
01:04:57Miss do a spot the time, then she'll Lila on like she means nothing.
01:04:59Now, what exactly are you getting at?
01:05:00You said you'd make it up to me.
01:05:01In what way?
01:05:02I snapped and pushed him hard.
01:05:04The sound of him hitting the wall felt real and satisfying.
01:05:07You really couldn't wait until tonight, huh, babe?
01:05:09Tell me, when have we ever used this brand?
01:05:10Oh, that?
01:05:11Just a new brand I grabbed.
01:05:12Figured we could mix things up, but looks like you beat me to it.
01:05:14Funny.
01:05:15You took your sweet time walking Catherine out.
01:05:16What held you up?
01:05:17I know you look up to Catherine's talent, Lila.
01:05:18Maybe it's best you keep a bit of space from her.
01:05:20Lila wasn't blind.
01:05:21She was seeing through the lies.
01:05:22That small piece of evidence would crack everything apart.
01:05:25If something's wrong, you can lean on me.
01:05:28I'm fine.
01:05:30Nothing happened.
01:05:53I'm fine.
01:06:01You.
01:06:02Name your price.
01:06:03Five thousand deposit.
01:06:04Balance on completion.
01:06:06Full payment upon satisfaction.
01:06:08Deal.
01:06:10Bates wheel stops at my feet.
01:06:15Mrs. Nash.
01:06:16Fancy meeting you.
01:06:17Need a ride?
01:06:18No, thanks.
01:06:19Are you sure?
01:06:20His presence cuts like ice.
01:06:22If he can't change your mind, what about me?
01:06:26How did you track me down?
01:06:28Get in the car.
01:06:30Didn't take you for someone with such stamina.
01:06:32Four men in one night?
01:06:33Are you spying on me?
01:06:34Are you cheating on me?
01:06:35The wrong idea.
01:06:36Mr. Nash and I just wrapped up a meeting nearby.
01:06:38Total coincidence running into you.
01:06:39Impressive.
01:06:39The Nash family really is expanding into every imaginable sector, isn't it?
01:06:43Good.
01:06:44You asked for this.
01:06:46Some truths hide in silence.
01:06:51The rules were set by you.
01:06:54That's right.
01:06:55Just closed the deal.
01:06:56I own it now.
01:06:58You?
01:06:58Bought that nightclub?
01:07:00Why would you do that?
01:07:01I got bored.
01:07:02Decided to expand into something new.
01:07:04No big deal.
01:07:05We agreed to keep our personal lives separate.
01:07:07Did I stop you?
01:07:08He always makes it sound so reasonable.
01:07:13Relax.
01:07:13I'll delete the video.
01:07:16How thoughtful of you.
01:07:18You're welcome.
01:07:20And if your dad asks where I am?
01:07:22I'll tell him the truth.
01:07:24Booking four male escorts.
01:07:26I wasn't hiring them for myself.
01:07:29Then explain that to my dad.
01:07:34Okay.
01:07:35We'll go there.
01:07:35You could have at least asked me first.
01:07:38Then don't come.
01:07:39I'll go alone.
01:07:45Tough day at work, sweetheart.
01:07:47She's just tired.
01:07:48From the bedroom gymnastics.
01:07:50I nearly choked on my own breath.
01:07:52Dad.
01:07:52Heard of the nightclub?
01:07:53On Hillside Road?
01:07:57The gigolos were too noisy.
01:07:58You don't need to tell me about every little business purchase.
01:08:02That rare winter storm seemed to me.
01:08:05Thunder jolted me away.
01:08:06And I instinctively reached for comfort.
01:08:09I realized that no matter how much he torments me,
01:08:11I still depend on him.
01:08:12It's our curse.
01:08:13What's wrong?
01:08:14And also our salvation.
01:08:18It's only thunder.
01:08:21Why are you leaving?
01:08:23I won't leave.
01:08:29Sorry.
01:08:30I had a nightmare.
01:08:31The thunder scared me and I...
01:08:33lost my senses for a bit.
01:08:36And then what?
01:08:37Pretend none of it happened?
01:08:39I don't know.
01:08:42I don't know.
01:08:44The housekeeper said you've been practicing piano at a studio.
01:08:48Yeah.
01:08:48Then stay home and play a few pieces for me today.
01:08:51But there's no piano at home.
01:08:53I'll have one sent over now.
01:08:55Is piano business really on standby all night?
01:08:57It's dawn and everyone should be asleep.
01:08:59Yet you made one call and this arrived like magic.
01:09:02VIPs don't just get round-the-clock service.
01:09:04They're treated like royalty.
01:09:05They call to ask about our schedules.
01:09:07So are you impressed by my wealth or annoyed I ruined someone's sleep?
01:09:09Both.
01:09:10So you pay to practice at a piano studio?
01:09:12I do.
01:09:13Lila claims you're nearly a master, but you're still in training?
01:09:15I'm still a beginner.
01:09:16Others are way ahead, like standing on top of a skyscraper while I'm still climbing floor
01:09:19by floor.
01:09:20Do you like it?
01:09:20I do.
01:09:21Then stop going to piano studio to practice.
01:09:22From now on, do it here.
01:09:23I'll arrange a tutor.
01:09:28I'm done practicing.
01:09:29Have you finished work?
01:09:31There's always something else that needs handling.
01:09:33You've changed lately.
01:09:34You're being unusually kind.
01:09:36What's going on?
01:09:40I thought it was just a simple light.
01:09:45Want to give it a shot?
01:09:52Easy now.
01:09:53You're supposed to take a puff, not swallow it whole.
01:09:59I didn't expect him to kiss me.
01:10:01And I didn't expect this kiss to make me forget to breathe.
01:10:04Breakfast is ready?
01:10:06Oh my.
01:10:09It's not what it looks like.
01:10:17Maybe our turn's coming sooner than you think.
01:10:26I tried not to think about him, but that kiss, that touch, still lingers on my lips.
01:10:35Julian handled my father, protected me, paid me well.
01:10:39Have you ever chased after someone before?
01:10:41Back in high school, I had a thing for this popular guy.
01:10:44Chased him around for a bit, but once he turned me down, I lost interest fast.
01:10:47What if someone you once liked suddenly came back, hiding behind a fake identity, and somehow you ended up in
01:10:53bed with him?
01:10:54How would you face him after that without feeling humiliated?
01:10:57Oh, honey, you definitely to the right person.
01:11:00If that were me, I wouldn't say a thing.
01:11:03I'd keep up the act and enjoy the sex until I got bored with it.
01:11:12Finally found time in your busy schedule?
01:11:15Tried a new recipe.
01:11:16Want to taste it?
01:11:18Cream recalled Mr. A.
01:11:20Julian's allergy rules him out.
01:11:22What's with the sudden kindness?
01:11:24No drugs in it.
01:11:26You bought me that piano.
01:11:27Consider this a thank you.
01:11:31That wasn't real cream.
01:11:32No reason to take meds.
01:11:33Seriously?
01:11:34Why didn't you take any medicine?
01:11:36How did you know?
01:11:37Because you wouldn't risk it.
01:11:38You wouldn't use real cream.
01:11:39Not on me.
01:11:40You wouldn't let me suffer.
01:11:41Even if you're testing me, you couldn't bear it.
01:11:48Who said I was testing you?
01:11:51His name lit up the screen.
01:11:53My heart skipped a beat.
01:11:54The nightmare was far from over.
01:11:56Kathy, how's my surprise coming along?
01:11:59Let's talk over dinner.
01:12:01I'll swing by around 11.
01:12:02Yet I had to stay strong.
01:12:04Sure.
01:12:05Just send me the restaurant address.
01:12:06I'll meet you there.
01:12:09What I didn't know was,
01:12:10at this very moment,
01:12:11he was silently watching my every move.
01:12:15Sir, are you sure it's a good idea to let Mrs. Nash deal with that man on her own?
01:12:18She kicked me in the shin once so hard I limped for a week.
01:12:22Trust me,
01:12:23dealing with a gigolo like Pearson Lewis is nothing she can't handle.
01:12:27Sir, Mrs. Nash is brilliant.
01:12:29When Pearson tried to hold her hand,
01:12:30she tore off the tablecloth.
01:12:31A candle nearly burned him.
01:12:32She pretended to panic,
01:12:34stomping it out while apologizing politely.
01:12:36That was the first time I saw such a genuine smile on him.
01:12:39But that smile pierced another woman's heart.
01:12:42In the late night hospital room,
01:12:44I held my brother's clean underwear,
01:12:45only to let him see what I'd hidden most.
01:12:47Why are you here?
01:12:48You're the one taking care of this?
01:12:50There's a caregiver for him, isn't there?
01:12:52She's off duty right now.
01:12:53I came by to visit and saw he'd wet himself,
01:12:55so I didn't want him catching it.
01:12:57Please, have a seat.
01:12:59They don't need to do that.
01:13:01That won't be necessary.
01:13:02I'm taking Catherine home.
01:13:03Yes, of course.
01:13:04Go on, Kathy.
01:13:05As I sat in Julian's car,
01:13:07my phone kept buzzing.
01:13:10Messages from my stepmother
01:13:11were always like this sweet yet stabbing,
01:13:13each one a reminder of how much I owed her.
01:13:16And him,
01:13:17his care was always like this,
01:13:18hidden beneath cold words.
01:13:20Thanks for coming to get me tonight.
01:13:22Didn't want you to reflect badly on me.
01:13:25Those marks.
01:13:26What are they from?
01:13:27Wild night.
01:13:28A woman left them there.
01:13:29W-which woman?
01:13:33I thought I was playing him,
01:13:34but little did I know,
01:13:36I was the one walking into his trap.
01:13:38Wait!
01:13:38I'm not ready!
01:13:39Let's talk!
01:13:53His strength far exceeded
01:13:54my imagination.
01:13:58Next time,
01:14:00I'll let you see my face.
01:14:03After it was over,
01:14:04he said something that
01:14:05completely threw me off.
01:14:07Meanwhile,
01:14:08an evil alliance plotted a greater betrayal.
01:14:10Screw this up,
01:14:11and I'll forward those photos to Lila.
01:14:13You're just a parasite!
01:14:15You've got cash.
01:14:16Maybe you should fund my lifestyle.
01:14:22Bring the dress to my studio.
01:14:24It's in a hotel.
01:14:26This time,
01:14:27I brought backup.
01:14:28Pearson,
01:14:29your nightmare has only just begun.
01:14:32He thought he'd won,
01:14:34but little did he know
01:14:34my backup had arrived.
01:14:36Perfect.
01:14:39And who might you be?
01:14:42I'm here for the dress fitting.
01:14:45Please,
01:14:45come in.
01:14:46While he was busy lost in lust,
01:14:48I was busy collecting every piece
01:14:50of evidence against him.
01:14:51Pearson,
01:14:52this game I won.
01:14:55Thought I was a helpless lamb?
01:14:57No,
01:14:57I'm a hunter in sheep's clothing.
01:14:59Pearson,
01:15:00your karma has arrived.
01:15:03That condescending smile
01:15:05showed me his true colors.
01:15:06He wanted to use my reputation
01:15:08to satisfy his twisted desires.
01:15:10I like you.
01:15:11I want to sleep with you.
01:15:13Clear enough?
01:15:14Hidden camera.
01:15:15Force me,
01:15:15film it,
01:15:16then spread it?
01:15:17Sharp.
01:15:18Scared to be seen as a slut?
01:15:20And what about Lila?
01:15:21Going to throw away
01:15:22your golden ticket for this?
01:15:24I'll say you drugged me.
01:15:26She's so in love with me,
01:15:27she'll believe whatever I say.
01:15:30I had just left the battlefield,
01:15:32but another hunter
01:15:33was already waiting.
01:15:34She thought she had dirt on me,
01:15:36but she didn't know
01:15:36she was walking into another trap.
01:15:38Caught you!
01:15:39Julian!
01:15:40Catherine's in bed
01:15:40with a man right now!
01:15:41Didn't learn your lesson?
01:15:43Want another?
01:15:45Yes.
01:15:46Take a look.
01:15:47Isn't this your wife?
01:15:49This photo
01:15:51doesn't feel right.
01:15:54Let's go check it out.
01:15:56Eloise followed me for a month,
01:15:58waiting for this moment
01:15:59she thought she had dirt on me,
01:16:00but walked right into my trap.
01:16:01Miss Grant!
01:16:02What are you doing here?
01:16:03Meeting my boyfriend,
01:16:04what about you?
01:16:05Catherine's with a man in this room,
01:16:07who's staking you or us.
01:16:08Seems like your show.
01:16:09Go on, Mr. Nash.
01:16:10Ladies first.
01:16:11The door opened,
01:16:12and everyone saw the mess inside,
01:16:14yet truth often hides
01:16:15in the most unexpected places.
01:16:17Too intense.
01:16:18Julian, better not look.
01:16:20Still hiding?
01:16:20Let's see.
01:16:24I never would have thought
01:16:26that even Eloise,
01:16:27who is usually outspoken,
01:16:28was completely stunned
01:16:29by this sudden shock.
01:16:30And you are?
01:16:33Why should I explain myself?
01:16:35Did you ask before
01:16:36barging into my private space?
01:16:37Where's Catherine?
01:16:38What's going on?
01:16:39Catherine?
01:16:40Never heard the name.
01:16:41I can tell that this man
01:16:42has just finished a private meeting
01:16:44and is about to tidy his appearance.
01:16:45He immediately remembered
01:16:46that this person
01:16:47was a former colleague
01:16:48he had met at the nightclub,
01:16:49who had been a dancer,
01:16:50homosexual,
01:16:51and had even dressed as a woman.
01:16:53No!
01:16:53No!
01:16:54No!
01:16:55Leela, wait, darling,
01:16:56don't go!
01:16:57Call a doctor!
01:16:59Of course it's you.
01:17:01No one else but Eloise
01:17:02would go to such lengths.
01:17:07I captured something entertaining.
01:17:09Just editing the video now.
01:17:11What video, bitch?
01:17:12Give me the name
01:17:13of whoever set this up
01:17:14and this video disappears.
01:17:16I'll tell you everything!
01:17:18Messing with you
01:17:18is the fun part.
01:17:20I already know
01:17:20who's behind it.
01:17:22Feeling that pounding
01:17:23in your chest, Eloane?
01:17:26Is that right?
01:17:27People who live off cheeks
01:17:28rarely get a happy ending.
01:17:32Who's good, who?
01:17:36Your Christmas present is ready.
01:17:37Would you like it
01:17:38sent to your place tomorrow?
01:17:39Who made it?
01:17:40I did.
01:17:44Lena,
01:17:45it was always real between us.
01:17:47Catherine did this.
01:17:48She's obsessed.
01:17:52You weren't nearly this loud
01:17:54the last time we met.
01:17:55And now you're blaming
01:17:57your disgrace on Catherine?
01:17:59But you did cross Catherine.
01:18:04She...
01:18:05She belongs to you.
01:18:07She's mine.
01:18:09Julian's statement
01:18:10had barely settled
01:18:11when Louisa's complexion
01:18:13turned ghostly.
01:18:14Lila's gaze turned toward me.
01:18:15She wore that familiar,
01:18:16cunning smile.
01:18:17Get out of here!
01:18:18Feeling overwhelmed by guilt,
01:18:20Eloise tried to sneak away quietly,
01:18:21but Julian wasn't done
01:18:22with her yet.
01:18:25Miss Nash,
01:18:26your brother instructed me
01:18:27to take you home safely.
01:18:28I'm not going back!
01:18:29Let me out right now!
01:18:30She thought of Lawrence's rage,
01:18:32screaming and kicking.
01:18:33The driver relayed Julian's orders,
01:18:35polite yet firm.
01:18:36He said if you refuse to cooperate.
01:18:38Once Pearson confesses everything,
01:18:40the police will happily
01:18:41give you your own self.
01:18:43The driver stayed calm,
01:18:44issuing a final warning.
01:18:45Fear surged through her veins
01:18:47as she realized
01:18:47someone must have tipped off.
01:18:49Outside,
01:18:50the city blurred
01:18:51her freedom,
01:18:51slipping away.
01:18:53Mr. Nash,
01:18:53we've arrived.
01:18:54Miss Nash is in the back seat.
01:18:56Eloise was helped out of the car
01:18:57by the driver
01:18:58and staggered too,
01:18:59toward the entrance of the manor.
01:19:01Her legs went weak,
01:19:01and she could barely stand.
01:19:03Julian, please.
01:19:04She glanced back,
01:19:06eyes despairing
01:19:07at her lost freedom.
01:19:08Eloise tried to flee,
01:19:09but the driver stopped her.
01:19:10The gate slammed shut,
01:19:12crushing her last coat.
01:19:17I'm her man.
01:19:18Did he really say that?
01:19:21You're staring like you're
01:19:22about to leap into my lap.
01:19:23When your sister burst in
01:19:25trying to expose me,
01:19:26your reaction was just...
01:19:27off.
01:19:28Why?
01:19:29I figured some of it out beforehand.
01:19:31Wait.
01:19:32How could you have possibly known?
01:19:34You really thought
01:19:35I bought that dump
01:19:36of a nightclub
01:19:36for my own entertainment?
01:19:38Feeling smug
01:19:39after shutting a lease
01:19:40down like that?
01:19:41Honestly?
01:19:42Yeah.
01:19:43Then come upstairs
01:19:43and cook something.
01:19:44We should toast
01:19:45your little victory.
01:19:46Come on.
01:19:47Just a bit more space.
01:19:48One last box.
01:19:49I promise.
01:19:52What the hell
01:19:53are you doing?
01:19:54I didn't do anything.
01:19:55Seems the blade
01:19:56found its seat.
01:19:58You've put in
01:19:59a lot of effort.
01:19:59Swing by my assistant's office
01:20:01before you head out,
01:20:02there's a bonus
01:20:02waiting for you.
01:20:03I'm running the serve.
01:20:04I've pulled a dessert.
01:20:08It was too rich.
01:20:11Have you eaten yet, Casey?
01:20:13Do you want to turn
01:20:14my office into a cafe?
01:20:19What do you want?
01:20:20No.
01:20:22I only wanted to be sure
01:20:23Aline was okay.
01:20:24According to her,
01:20:25you were the one
01:20:25who came up with the plan
01:20:26to have Pearson
01:20:26set Catherine up.
01:20:29Let me show you something.
01:20:31You'll see what really happened.
01:20:33You kept that recording, huh?
01:20:34Was it only meant for today
01:20:35or did you always intend
01:20:36to wield it against Alish?
01:20:38Julian, I swear,
01:20:38I wasn't trying to hurt her.
01:20:40I only saved that recording
01:20:41to protect myself.
01:20:42It wasn't meant for-
01:20:42Cut the act.
01:20:43You and I both know
01:20:44exactly what games you're playing.
01:20:45Julian,
01:20:46I didn't mean I'm sorry.
01:20:47You can keep that apology.
01:20:50Give it to Alise.
01:21:02Mrs. Nash prepared it herself.
01:21:10Piano.
01:21:11Now.
01:21:18I never thought the sound
01:21:19of my terrible piano playing
01:21:21would be something
01:21:21he'd actually enjoy.
01:21:22But looking at him there,
01:21:24so relaxed in my chaos,
01:21:25I wondered what kind of person
01:21:27finds comfort in discord.
01:21:29Come to me.
01:21:31I have work to finish.
01:21:33If it's important,
01:21:34we'll talk later.
01:21:37Wrapped up your music,
01:21:38Mrs. Nash?
01:21:38Why not sit with Mr. Nash
01:21:39and have some fruit?
01:21:41Why would I care about him?
01:21:43Hold on.
01:21:44He requested for pineapple?
01:21:46Why would a man
01:21:47who can't stand anything sweet and sour
01:21:49suddenly ask for it?
01:21:50When Catherine returned,
01:21:51did she say anything?
01:21:56I'll see you inside.
01:22:03You think this is over?
01:22:05Don't kid yourself!
01:22:06As long as I'm around,
01:22:08you'll never have peace!
01:22:09You and Julian share the same father,
01:22:11but the gap between you two
01:22:12is staggering.
01:22:13You've been used as a tool,
01:22:14left to deal with the fallout,
01:22:16and you still don't see it.
01:22:19Elish, my brother's finally
01:22:20getting a break from work.
01:22:21He's been under so much pressure.
01:22:22I picked up a really nice
01:22:23bottle of wine.
01:22:24When you're feeling better,
01:22:25not bring it over
01:22:26and share a drink with him.
01:22:31Why do you smell like pineapple?
01:22:33Eating a lot of it
01:22:34makes things taste better.
01:22:35Taste better?
01:22:36What things?
01:22:37You'd regret asking.
01:22:38Poop sweet?
01:22:38Wait, oh my god, Julian,
01:22:40don't tell me you've actually tried poop-
01:22:41Louisa dropped by the firm earlier.
01:22:43She was asking about Elena.
01:22:48Julian!
01:22:50His lips were soft against mine,
01:22:52and for a moment,
01:22:52just a moment,
01:22:53I forgot about everything else.
01:22:55But then reality crashed back.
01:22:57Wednesday night,
01:22:58be there,
01:22:59same location.
01:23:00That explanation he gave me,
01:23:02was it really an explanation?
01:23:04The hotel manager will be waiting
01:23:05for you in the lobby.
01:23:06She'll take you upstairs.
01:23:07I'll be up in half an hour.
01:23:21Mr. A asked me to give this to you.
01:23:23If you don't mind,
01:23:25I'll need to cover your eyes
01:23:26before I take you to the room.
01:23:27The soft fabric felt just like
01:23:29Mr. A's blindfold.
01:23:31Blindfolded already?
01:23:33Did Mr. Nash switch rooms this time?
01:23:36Yes.
01:23:37Uh, I mean,
01:23:38who's Mr. Nash?
01:23:47From this moment on,
01:23:48whatever I tell you to do,
01:23:50you do it.
01:23:51No questions.
01:23:52I waited,
01:23:53keeping the blindfold on.
01:23:55Giving him control showed my trust.
01:23:57The sofa relaxed me,
01:23:58but my heart raced.
01:24:08Mr. A?
01:24:12Fear overwhelmed me.
01:24:14As his lips touched my collarbone mole,
01:24:17I felt safe.
01:24:18So,
01:24:19do you know who I am now?
01:24:21Still don't get it?
01:24:22Still don't know who's making you feel like this?
01:24:24You jerk!
01:24:25Tell me,
01:24:26who's the monster to you?
01:24:28Mr. A?
01:24:29Or Julian Nash?
01:24:30Mr. A!
01:24:32Doesn't make a difference.
01:24:45There had been many nights like this.
01:24:48Waiting.
01:24:49No matter how sleepy or exhausted I was.
01:24:53Just for the chance to see him.
01:25:02Julian,
01:25:03wear your coat.
01:25:04You're freezing.
01:25:05Take care of yourself.
01:25:05It's nothing.
01:25:13Do you love her?
01:25:16I'm not into love stories.
01:25:18I've been doing lately,
01:25:18but I can't let her always suffer.
01:25:20Can I?
01:25:24I'm not into love stories.
01:25:24I'm not into love stories.
01:25:35So this was Mr. A's secret.
01:25:39Mr. Nash is back.
01:25:46Did you have anything to eat yet?
01:25:48Want some coffee?
01:25:49Sure.
01:25:50I didn't want to admit it,
01:25:52but my body remembered.
01:25:53I knew what I wanted,
01:25:55but I was afraid to admit it.
01:25:57He remembered,
01:25:57and I actually felt touched.
01:25:59Happy now?
01:26:00Let me see your neck.
01:26:02I know he hates oranges.
01:26:04Stick out your tongue.
01:26:09It's still daytime,
01:26:10and we're right by the door.
01:26:12The housekeeper hasn't even left yet.
01:26:14He pressed closer,
01:26:16and I had no choice but to surrender
01:26:17in broad daylight.
01:26:18She knows better.
01:26:20She's long gone by now.
01:26:23Okay.
01:26:28The moment his fingertips pressed against my neck,
01:26:31I knew I wouldn't escape unscathed.
01:26:33Good girl.
01:26:36I thought it would escalate,
01:26:38but he only kissed my chin,
01:26:39toying with my shame.
01:26:40Are you kidding me?
01:26:44Why do I have to close my eyes?
01:26:47Just playing around.
01:26:49He turned my shame into a game.
01:26:51Kiss me,
01:26:52then I'm out of here,
01:26:53and left me to pick up the pieces.
01:27:00Need a ride?
01:27:01How come he's here?
01:27:02Did he make a special trip to get me?
01:27:04Get in.
01:27:04I'll take you home.
01:27:11He said he needed to go in and buy something.
01:27:14I just waited in the car.
01:27:17He's back,
01:27:18with that box in his hand.
01:27:20Didn't you already grab some at the mall before?
01:27:22Didn't get enough.
01:27:26His hand over mine,
01:27:27warm,
01:27:28safe,
01:27:28like a dream I never want to wake from.
01:27:31Why now?
01:27:32You don't even know how to play.
01:27:34Just to kill time.
01:27:35Just to kill time,
01:27:36he says lightly,
01:27:37but ripples stir in my heart.
01:27:39And the phone rang,
01:27:40interrupting everything.
01:27:42Mr. Nash,
01:27:42it's Louisa's assistant.
01:27:43Something terrible has happened.
01:27:45What's going on?
01:27:46The client made a move on Louisa.
01:27:48He locked her in.
01:27:49Please, Mr. Nash,
01:27:50you have to come quickly.
01:27:51Send me the location.
01:27:52He suddenly got a call,
01:27:53then rushed off.
01:27:54No explanation,
01:27:55no goodbye.
01:27:59Julian?
01:28:00Have your assistant call Ernest.
01:28:04I'm the one who caused this.
01:28:06How much more of a mess
01:28:07are you planning to make?
01:28:20This is it.
01:28:21He said to come pick him up.
01:28:26Cold wind howled outside,
01:28:28drowning out all noise.
01:28:29She knew I would come all along.
01:28:32I couldn't hear what Julian was saying,
01:28:34and honestly,
01:28:34I was relieved.
01:28:35Because if I had heard what he said,
01:28:37I wasn't sure I'd have had strength
01:28:38to stay on my feet.
01:28:40I shouldn't have come.
01:28:43Would you like to call her?
01:28:47Forget it.
01:28:49I should have known someone else
01:28:50had already taken my place.
01:28:52I should have known earlier.
01:28:54It was foolish of me
01:28:55to rush over like that,
01:28:56all because of one brief phone call.
01:29:04Please pick up the phone.
01:29:10From the moment I saw
01:29:11Louisa and Julian together,
01:29:13I knew my heart was already in tears.
01:29:17Madam!
01:29:18I didn't want anything from him,
01:29:20not even concern.
01:29:29I have a high fever.
01:29:30I don't need you.
01:29:32Gathering my last strength,
01:29:34I shoved him away with both palms.
01:29:35I don't want anything from him.
01:29:38I don't want anything from him.
