00:00My name is Maya Watson. Four years in Warrant prison. Today, I'm finally getting out.
00:07Maya! Someone from the Morgan family is here to pick you up!
00:11My hand freezes. I was the daughter of the Morgan family.
00:16Everything changes when the police knock on our door and reveal they've found Richard and Sansa's real daughter, Rosanna Morgan.
00:24In an instant, my identity was taken away.
00:27I was labeled a fraud. Worse still, at Rosanna's urging, they framed me and sent me to prison.
00:35Today marks the day I'm finally free. The massive gates freak open. I walk out into the sunlight.
00:43Maya! My dear daughter! I came to bring you home.
00:48You must be mistaken, Mrs. Morgan. I'm not your daughter.
00:55How could you say that? I raised you for 17 years.
00:59Four years ago, you framed me and cast me out. You called me a Watson. You signed papers cutting all
01:05ties.
01:06The reporters explode with questions. Sandra's perfect image is cracking.
01:10Maya, please don't hate me. I never meant to steal your space.
01:14Please save the tears. I was no longer a Morgan the moment you erased me.
01:20I walk away. I don't look back. That girl they knew died four years ago.
01:32The Morgans think I can't survive without them. They're wrong.
01:35Today, I need to fulfill a promise. Zoe saved me in prison and required a marriage agreement in return for
01:42her.
01:42The suffering I endured in prison was unrelenting. I agreed to the deal.
01:46Outside City Hall, I wait for the man I've never met. Chris Cooper. The Cooper family's illegitimate son.
01:53Are you Miss Maya Watson?
01:55I look up. I freeze. He's more handsome than any man I've ever seen.
02:01Is this really the good-for-nothing illegitimate son?
02:05Mr. Chris Cooper?
02:06You've been staring for a while now, Miss Watson.
02:09I snap back to reality.
02:12We walk into City Hall.
02:18When we come back out, a marriage certificate is in my hand.
02:22I'll keep my end of the bargain, Mr. Cooper.
02:25Once Zoe's request is fulfilled, I won't stick around.
02:28I'll file for divorce right after.
02:32Is my aunt doing okay in there?
02:34She's healthy. Nothing bad has happened to her.
02:37My reply is an understatement.
02:39Zoe didn't just survive in prison. She thrived.
02:42Glad to hear it.
02:44Here. A little something to welcome you in.
02:47He was the first to welcome me.
02:49That's not necessary. I've got my own money.
02:52We just completed the marriage registration.
02:54That makes me your husband.
02:55Husband. That gives you every right to use my money.
02:58Husband.
02:59The word sends a faint flush across my face.
03:04I return to the Morgan estate.
03:07For Vicky's bracelet.
03:08The last gift she ever gave me.
03:10Though no blood tied us together.
03:12Her love was as real as any grandmother's.
03:18Is that really you, Miss Morgan?
03:20I can't believe you're here.
03:23I am no longer a member of the Morgan family.
03:25I'm just here to pick up a few of my things.
03:31Miss, after you were imprisoned, Miss Morgan cleared everything out.
03:35Your old room, it's just a storage room now.
03:38Everything?
03:39Did they throw away Vicky's bracelet too?
03:41I turn to see Jared, Sondra, and Rosanna standing behind me.
03:45I knew you'd show your face again, Maya.
03:48With a record like yours, no one's gonna hire you.
03:51Admit everything now.
03:52Post a public apology.
03:54And maybe we'll let you stick around out of pity.
03:56I walk past him, heading straight toward Rosanna.
04:00Where are my things, Rosanna?
04:04What things, Maya?
04:05I have no idea what you're going on about.
04:07This is the last time I'll ask.
04:10Where did you put everything that was in my room?
04:12I didn't mean anything by it.
04:14I thought they'd wear out if I left them there too long.
04:17My hand strikes her cheek.
04:19Red marks bloom across her skin.
04:22She clutches her cheek, eyes wide with disbelief.
04:25She probably never thought the doormat she used to bully would dare to fight back now.
04:30Rosanna, if you thought I'd still swallow every humiliation like I used to, you couldn't be more wrong.
04:35No one can bully me anymore.
04:37This slap is merely the start.
04:39I will not only reclaim my bracelet, but also make the entire Morgan family pay back every last thing they
04:44owe me, bit by bit.
04:50Maya, you've completely lost it. Apologize. Now!
04:54After slapping Rosanna, Jared and Sandra blow up instantly.
04:57They surround me, blaming me for everything.
04:59As if I was the one in the wrong all along.
05:01I'm the one who gave permission to throw out your things.
05:04Rosanna only meant well.
05:05You've always known I can't stand people touching my belongings.
05:10And still, you let her throw them out.
05:16Did you even realize that Vicky's bracelet was among them?
05:20Let me remind you of your place.
05:22You're not one of us.
05:25That keepsake was always meant for a true Morgan.
05:31Even if it were still around, Rosanna would have every right to it.
05:35Here.
05:37Enough for your little trinket.
05:41Consider it charity.
05:43He thinks money could solve everything.
05:46He thinks it could erase his guilt.
05:49Looking at the money at my feet, I feel a searing disgust.
05:52I go to pick it up.
05:54And tear it into pieces in front of them.
05:58I'd rather have nothing than take anything from you.
06:01We picked you up from prison this morning, Maya.
06:04Don't bother returning once you leave.
06:06You made your choice.
06:07It ends here.
06:08Drop the act.
06:09You're not fooling anyone.
06:10You called the press yourselves.
06:12Was that supposed to be a warm welcome?
06:14Or just a performance to make yourselves look like saints?
06:17You know exactly what you were doing.
06:19I walked away.
06:20Never once turning back.
06:24I'll remember every bit of today's humiliation.
06:28The Morgans and I have a long list to settle.
06:31And I'm just getting started.
06:34Not a minute after stepping out of the Morgan estate,
06:37I pull out my phone and make a single call.
06:40Cut off all dealings with the Morgan family.
06:43Effective immediately.
06:45The Morgans and I, we're done.
06:48I turn to walk away as I collide into a solid figure.
06:53Maya?
06:54Vince Ward.
06:55The son of Rond powerful Ward family.
06:58My ex-fiancé.
07:00Out of instinct, I yank my arm free and put space between us.
07:05You came back.
07:07You must be here for Rosanna, Mr. Ward.
07:09I hear the engagements come up.
07:10I just wanted to make sure you were all right.
07:12Seems like your concerns are pointed in the wrong direction, Mr. Ward.
07:16Shouldn't it be aimed at your girlfriend?
07:18Imagine Rosanna catching you circling around me.
07:22I turn to lean.
07:23His hand shoots out, grabbing my wrist.
07:26If you're still willing to be mine, I'm ready to leave the past behind us.
07:31Vince, even if every man except you in the world were gone, I would never be with you.
07:35Let go.
07:36He wraps an arm around my waist and leans forward, trying to steal a kiss.
07:40I don't hesitate.
07:41My knee shoots up fast and brutal, catching him right where it hurts the most.
07:45Consider that your first and only warning.
07:47Come near me again and I won't hold back.
07:50I look down at Vince writhing on the ground and feel nothing but disgust.
07:54All that talk about caring for me.
07:56Just a pathetic excuse to take advantage when I'm at my lowest.
08:00Vin, you're even worse than the Morgans.
08:06I arrive at the apartment Zoe arranged.
08:11The moment I step inside, a message pops up on my phone.
08:15Maya, I heard you and Chris got your marriage license.
08:18Here's a little wedding gift.
08:19I hope it's enough.
08:20A transfer.
08:23One million.
08:25Zoe, you really didn't have to send this much.
08:27Did you just say too much?
08:29You think it's hard for me to make this money?
08:33I don't even know how to respond.
08:34For someone like her, money flows like tap water.
08:38Remember what you promised.
08:39Keep my identity under wraps.
08:41That includes Chris.
08:43Relax.
08:44I won't spill a word.
08:45I've prepared a little surprise for you.
08:47Don't let me down.
08:50I frown.
08:51Surprise?
08:52What does that mean?
08:53Anyway, I'm going to take a shower.
08:57The next second, the apartment door creaks open from the outside.
09:01Chris is standing in the doorway.
09:06Scattered across the floor near his feet are the clothes I tossed off earlier.
09:10And me?
09:10I'm sitting here in just my camisole.
09:12I freeze on the spot.
09:14My mind screaming one question.
09:16How does he have the key to this place?
09:18Zoe, this is your idea of a surprise?
09:21I want nothing more than to sink straight through the floor right now.
09:26My arms immediately cross over my chest.
09:29I turn my back to him.
09:31Tell me, Mr. Cooper.
09:33If I said I'm not the kind of woman you think I am, would you believe it?
09:39He crouches down, lifts my clothes, and folds them into a tidy pile.
09:46And what exactly do you think you are?
09:49I open my mouth.
09:51Nothing comes out.
09:52Why are you even here?
09:54Well, this is my place.
09:55What?
09:55Zoe sent me to stay here.
09:57She didn't mention it belonged to Chris.
09:58She must have hidden that from me on purpose.
10:00A light chert is draped over my shoulders.
10:02I catch the faint, lingering scent of his cologne.
10:05Aunt Zoe told me she set everything up.
10:07We're married now.
10:09Treat this place like your own.
10:10I appreciate it.
10:12Sorry for the inconvenience.
10:14Shall I take that room?
10:15You don't have to be formal in your own home.
10:18If you'd rather we shared a room, I wouldn't turn you down.
10:22My eyes go wide in an instant.
10:25I prefer to sleep alone.
10:26I scoop up my clothes without another word
10:29and head to the guest room, shutting the door quietly behind me.
10:32My heart is pounding.
10:34This man is dangerous.
10:36I have to remember what I promised Zoe.
10:38Help Chris take power, then get a divorce.
10:45I can't fall for him.
10:49The next day, Chris accompanies me shopping for clothes.
10:52As I wander past racks of women's wear,
10:54I slow at the sight of a shop with a lavish, refined layout.
10:57MCN, the brand I founded with my friend Patty.
10:59I serve as the head designer Eileen behind the scenes
11:02while Patty acts as the public face of MCN.
11:04The dress displayed in the window is my design.
11:06The blue sea dress.
11:07You like it?
11:08Why not go in and give it a try?
11:10Temptation stirs inside me, but the price gives me pause.
11:13Dropping a forgin on my first shopping trip with him doesn't feel right.
11:17I turn to leave.
11:18Come on in and take a look, miss.
11:20We're running a fitting event and scouting for models.
11:22Just then, Chris's phone begins to ring.
11:25Wait for me.
11:25He asks me to wait and steps outside.
11:31I step into the store alone.
11:33My eyes wander over the displays.
11:35Every piece is my hard work with my friend.
11:37I point to the blue sea.
11:39Would it be all great if I tried that one on?
11:42Well, if it isn't the Morgan family's little fraud.
11:46You spent four years in prison, didn't you?
11:51I turn and see Rosanna and her friend Stacy.
11:54Come on, Stacy.
11:56Please don't say things like that.
11:57She's my sister.
11:59You're too forgiving for your own good.
12:01She stole Radiant Jewel's most prized piece
12:03and tried to make it look like you did it.
12:04Four years in prison.
12:06I believe she has changed.
12:08For a moment, her words almost make me believe.
12:10She just got out of jail and thinks she can walk into a luxury store?
12:13That dress is worth more than her entire life's savings.
12:20We'll take that dress.
12:22I'm sorry, ladies.
12:23That gown isn't available for purchase.
12:26Only Supreme VIP members of MCN can place an order for it.
12:30Supreme VIP.
12:31These are elite patrons who spend over $7 million annually
12:34and are personally approved by Patty.
