00:00Ella Cole, cut the crap.
00:0150 million in liquidated damages.
00:03If you can't come up with it today,
00:05you and your father can prepare to sleep on the street.
00:08Give me three more days.
00:09Just three days.
00:10Our project payment will arrive soon.
00:11Three days.
00:12Do you take a philanthropist?
00:13Today, right now,
00:15either pay the money
00:16or use this lousy studio to pay off the debt.
00:18Don't move.
00:19This is my father's lifelong effort.
00:21Lifelong effort?
00:22Can lifelong effort feed you?
00:24If you can't pay the money, get out of here.
00:2650 million, I'll pay it for her.
00:28You?
00:30Who do you think you are?
00:33Mr. Thorne.
00:35The money will be in your accounts within an hour.
00:36Now, take your men and get out of here.
00:41Who are you?
00:42Why are you helping me?
00:43My name is James,
00:44and I'm the chief assistant of Thorne Group.
00:45Our boss, Thorne, wants to talk to you about a deal.
00:47A two-year marriage contract.
00:48You marry Mr. Thorne,
00:49and he will settle all your debts.
00:51After two years,
00:52you will divorce amably
00:53and not interfere with each other.
00:54Marriage?
00:55A deal?
00:56What makes you think I'll agree?
00:58Because you're desperate now.
01:00Miss Ella,
01:01this is your only choice.
01:07Sir?
01:09Sir, madam.
01:10The formalities have been completed.
01:12Congratulations on your new marriage.
01:19Remember your identity.
01:22Contract wife.
01:24Good.
01:25Don't delude yourself into getting any affection from me.
01:28Let alone covet any property of the Thorne family.
01:32I only want money, Mr. Thorne.
01:34Play your role obediently.
01:36After two years,
01:37we'll be even.
01:50This...
01:51This is my Sky City design proposal
01:53that was rejected five years ago?
02:00Nicholas Thorne.
02:03What kind of person are you exactly?
02:18I can't believe you're wearing that.
02:20It's hideous.
02:21Put it on.
02:28Where are you going?
02:29The dressing room.
02:32Change here.
02:34Mr. Thorne,
02:34I need some privacy.
02:36Just a piece of merchandising
02:37I bought for 50 million.
02:40Merchandising has no privacy.
02:42Now, right here.
02:44Change into it in front of me.
02:46You're humiliating me.
02:47I'm just making you face reality.
02:49My patience has limits.
03:08Passable.
03:10Passable.
03:13Are we done?
03:16Move.
03:18Move.
03:19Move.
03:21Where to?
03:22None of your business.
03:31Nicholas, you're finally heir.
03:33I thought you were going to stand me up tonight.
03:37My wife, Ella Cole.
03:40Nicholas, I'm so disappointed in your taste.
03:44I can't believe you married some random wild girl.
03:47Who I marry is none of your business.
03:52You bitch.
03:53How did you trick Thorne?
03:57We are in love.
03:59Let's see if you can still say true love when he gets tired of playing with you.
04:08Oops.
04:09I'm so sorry, Miss Ella.
04:10I didn't mean to.
04:16He is just going to watch?
04:19Don't bother, Miss Ella.
04:20This fabric won't clean up.
04:22Oh wait, I forgot.
04:23This is probably your first time wearing such expensive clothes.
04:28Ella?
04:29What are you doing here?
04:33Andy?
04:41Ella, you've changed.
04:43I barely, barely recognized you.
04:47Angie, what are you trying to say?
04:51We used to work so hard on our designs together.
04:54And now you've married into a rich family and become a socialite.
04:59How I live my life.
05:00How I live my life has nothing to do with you.
05:02Nothing to do with you?
05:03It has everything to do with me.
05:05Let go.
05:07I bet you all didn't know this.
05:09But the Honorable Mrs. Thorne is my ex-girlfriend.
05:18Interesting.
05:20I thought you really wanted to be a top designer, but turns out you're just a bitch who slept
05:26her way to the top.
05:28That's a lie.
05:31Why don't you all take a look and see for yourself?
05:37She's a home wrecker.
05:38I can't believe she actually managed to seduce Lord Nicholas.
05:42No wonder a nobody like her could hook up with the Thorne family.
05:45You bitch!
05:46Get out of this party!
05:51Mr. Thorne, you really have an eye for picking women.
05:55Nicholas, this is getting out of hand.
05:57The market might start questioning Thorne Group's investment choices.
06:02Sure enough, he doesn't believe me either.
06:09What is going on?
06:11Are you done making a scene?
06:16A bunch of idiots.
06:18You actually believe a picture like this?
06:20I don't know how you made it this far.
06:23As for Ella, she is the most outstanding and perfect woman I have ever met.
06:31What?
06:42That was such a deep kiss.
06:49She, Ella Cole, is my legal wife.
06:52And my only love, anyone who dares to say a single word against my wife, is making an enemy of
06:58the entire Thorne Group.
07:01Vivian, from today onwards, all financial lies between the Thorne Group and you are cut off.
07:07Nicholas, you can't!
07:11I always mean what I say.
07:18Nicholas.
07:25What else do you want?
07:27Nicholas, that kiss and what you said, did you mean it?
07:33That's it?
07:35Don't be stupid.
07:40Ella Cole, did you forget your place?
07:46I...
07:47laughing stock, or bring shame to me and the Thorne Group.
07:51That's all.
07:54Remember the contract.
07:56Don't expect any feelings or power from me.
08:12James, today's schedule.
08:15From today on, you are not allowed to leave the villa without my permission.
08:19What did you say?
08:21What gives you the right to restrict my freedom?
08:23Because I don't want you running into any ex-boyfriends and causing me more trouble.
08:29Trouble?
08:29Is that all I am to you?
08:31Think whatever you want.
08:32This is an order, not a discussion.
08:33And stay out of that study.
08:36On the second floor.
08:38Forever.
08:39You don't have the right.
08:51Going home, James.
09:15What are you doing in my room?
09:18Get out.
09:21Ella.
09:22Nicholas!
09:23Stay back!
09:27So, you can be this beautiful, too.
09:33Did he just call me beautiful?
09:35Just get out first.
09:36At least let me put some clothes on.
09:44Ella.
09:47I never thought this day would come.
09:51What are you doing?
09:52Let go of me!
09:54Don't run.
10:01Nicholas, you jerk!
10:03Let me go!
10:04Don't run.
10:06You're mine.
10:09Ow!
10:11You're hurting me!
10:12Don't look at me like that.
10:14What are you talking about?
10:15It hurts!
10:16Let go of me first!
10:17Let go of me first!
10:21I want you.
10:23Did he just say that?
10:26Ella, do you know?
10:28I saw a design proposal for Castle in the Sky a few years ago.
10:34That was my graduation project.
10:37It was so brilliant.
10:39And sure enough, its creator is an unforgettable, perfect woman.
10:50Nicholas, so you were in the audience that day.
10:57Give yourself to me, Ella.
10:59Mr. Thorne, according to the contract.
11:01The contract.
11:02Right.
11:03I thought that as long as I used a contract to tie you to my side,
11:08fall in love with me.
11:13So this is how he has always seen me.
11:18If I could really be with him, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
11:33So, you're not really that cold after all.
11:38You're awake.
11:50Nicholas?
11:55Put your clothes on.
11:57Last night, we...
12:00We...
12:01Nothing happened last night.
12:05Nothing happened?
12:06We did what we did!
12:08And you're saying nothing happened?
12:13Ella Cole, remember your place.
12:17You're just a contract wife.
12:19Don't flatter yourself thinking I couldn't find anyone else.
12:22It was just one night.
12:23Don't have any delusions.
12:25Nicholas Thorne, you shameful bastard!
12:29You'll never truly trap me.
12:33I'm not your contract wife.
12:35I'm designer Ella Cole.
12:42The lighting here could be a bit bolder.
13:00Breakfast is ready.
13:02Didn't you hear me?
13:08James, let's head to the office.
13:10Boss, your breakfast lost my appetite.
13:23How long are you planning to ignore me?
13:28Excuse me, Mr. Thorne?
13:31Ella Cole, I'm talking to you.
13:33I have nothing to say.
13:35Ignoring me will get my attention?
13:39Your attention?
13:40Mr. Thorne, you give yourself way too much credit.
13:44Don't push me.
13:45Go ahead.
13:46I just do what the contract requires.
13:49Fine.
13:50Let's see what you're really up to.
13:55Phew.
13:56Finally done.
14:01No.
14:02This is exactly like my design.
14:06So, in his eyes, not only am I a contract wife with no dignion,
14:10I'm also just a goju for him to steal ideas from?
14:13Mom?
14:27These are all mine.
14:32He looked at all my designs?
14:34Who told you to come in?
14:38Didn't I say you don't belong in here?
14:43Nicholas, what is this room?
14:45I don't need to explain myself to you.
14:47But you.
14:48How dare you break M.I. to my private study?
14:54You can sneak into my room and steal my work.
14:56Why can't I go into yours?
14:58Nicholas, do you realize this is my entire worth as a designer?
15:04Worth?
15:05You think you can talk to me about worth?
15:08Nicholas, are you really still insulting me?
15:11No, I'm just telling you a fact.
15:13You signed the contract.
15:19Your only worth is 50 million dollars.
15:23Everything else?
15:24Your feelings, your body, your talent, your ideas.
15:28The moment you signed?
15:29They all belong to me.
15:30So you have absolutely no worth.
15:41I have no worth.
15:43What else?
15:47Give it back.
15:48Ella Cole, give me the contract back!
15:51Nicholas Thones, did you really think you could buy out my life with this?
15:57You signed it yourself.
16:00Yeah, I did.
16:03So now, I can destroy it too.
16:12Are you crazy?
16:16Ella, stop it!
16:24This deal is over.
16:27I will pay back the 50 million with interest.
16:36Ella, call!
16:40If you walk out that door, I promise you will regret it!
16:48You will come crawling back to me!
16:51You will!
17:05Miss Cole, your designs are brilliant.
17:07We're very interested.
17:09I'll send you the detailed proposal ASAP.
17:11I've seen your work.
17:13It's stunning.
17:14Just send over the contract.
17:15Great!
17:16Looking forward to working with you.
17:20You can do this.
17:26Miss Cole, I'm sorry.
17:28The lead guy on the project just quit, so it's been cancelled.
17:30What?
17:31But we just...
17:36Mrs. Cole, sorry.
17:37Our group is having cash flow issues.
17:39The project is on hold indefinitely.
17:41Why so sudden?
17:45Nicholas Starch.
17:57A whole month, and I haven't landed a single client.
18:11Well, if it isn't her highness, Mrs. Thorne, what are you doing hiding in a dump like this?
18:17Get out.
18:20You bitch.
18:21Nicholas kicked you out after all, huh?
18:24I said get out!
18:26Get out!
18:30Starting to think I treated you better back then?
18:39Get on your knees and beg me.
18:41Maybe I'll throw a couple of projects your way.
18:46Stay out of my business.
18:50Ella, do you actually think you're somebody?
18:54Without Nicholas, you're just a bitch living in a pig head!
18:57Are you fucking done yet?
19:00Don't rush.
19:01I'm just here to catch up.
19:03I'm just here to catch up.
19:06Do you seriously still think I actually loved you back then?
19:11Don't be stupid.
19:13I never loved you.
19:15Getting close to you was just a job.
19:18A job?
19:18My boss, Leon Hunt, wanted your old man's designs, so he sent me to get close to you.
19:26Leon Hunt, Nicholas's biggest rival?
19:31Thanks to you being an idiot, I finished the job so fast.
19:40Andy, I couldn't have sorted these blueprints off so fast without your help.
19:49So, you leaked our studio's designs?
19:52Don't worry, I was very careful when I handed those designs over to Mr. Hunt.
19:58You, how dare you!
20:01Did you think that was it?
20:04Let me tell you another secret.
20:05Your father's life work, Cole's studio, the reason it went bankrupt, that was all me.
20:17What did you say?
20:19Don't get it?
20:20I said, I destroyed your dad's pathetic studio with my own hands.
20:30I'm the one who told the investors you stole Hunt Group's designs.
20:34That's why you got hit with that 50 million penalty.
20:37Why would you do that?
20:39Why?
20:40Because it was fun.
20:42Seeing your father beg on his knees like a dog to those investors was quite a show.
20:47You animal!
20:49What?
20:50You want to hit me?
20:52What right do you have now?
20:54Look at you, nice body, pretty face.
20:58No wonder Nicholas wanted you.
21:03Let go of me.
21:06Let you go?
21:08I don't think so.
21:09Dating you was such a waste of my time.
21:12You were like a dead fish.
21:14So boring.
21:15What are you doing?
21:18What does it look like?
21:20I'm making Mrs. Thorne pay me back.
21:30Scream all you want.
21:31No one's coming to save you.
21:35Don't think I don't know you and Nicholas are done.
21:41Get off me!
21:42Don't touch me!
21:47You bitch!
21:48How dare you fight back!
21:54Today I'll show you what happens when you cross me.
22:14Nicholas Thorne?
22:16Nicholas Thorne?
22:23You're crazy!
22:26You touched her?
22:28I...
22:28She's a slut!
22:29She came on to me!
22:36You used this hand?
22:39No!
22:40I didn't!
22:42My hand!
22:44My hand!
22:45You won't be needing this hand anymore.
22:47Mr. Thorne!
22:48I'm sorry!
22:49I won't do it again!
22:51Sorry now.
22:52Too late.
23:10I can't even handle a guy like that without me.
23:14This is no way for my wife to act.
23:18Come home with me.
23:21Go back?
23:23Why the hell would I go back with you, Nicholas?
23:25Come back, and you can still be Mrs. Thorne.
23:29I can keep your studio alive, even make it better than before.
23:33Are you saying I should thank you for not ruining my career?
23:36If I can destroy it, I can build it up.
23:39This is your only chance, Ella.
23:41Do you really think you can buy anything with money?
23:46Nicholas Thorne, get this through your head.
23:49I am not your merchandise.
23:51I'm not your pet!
23:53My talent, my dreams, my dignity, they are not for you to buy!
23:58You never, you have never treated me as an equal!
24:02In your eyes, I am just something for you to control, to use, and to throw away when you are
24:08done!
24:15Don't ever bother me again.
24:25You never, you have never treated me as an equal!
24:36Ella.
24:37Ella.
24:49You never, you have never treated me as an equal!
25:00Sir, you wanted to see me?
25:02Lift all commercial restrictions on Ella Cole's studio.
25:06Immediately.
25:07All of them.
25:09Yes, sir.
25:09And I don't want to hear any more negative rumors about Ella.
25:12Understood.
25:22Equal.
25:24Ella.
25:25Was I really wrong?
25:35Still no orders.
25:37What am I going to do?
25:48A city landmark?
25:49Why would they invite me to bid?
25:52Mrs. Cole, based on your recent designs and a guarantier's recommendation,
25:57you are invited to bid on the city landmark project.
26:01A guarantiner?
26:02Could it be?
26:05Whoever it is, I have to grab this chance.
26:09Come on, Ella, don't be nervous.
26:16This is your last chance.
26:23Well, if it isn't the famous Mrs. Thorne.
26:27Oh, sorry, I forgot.
26:29Nicholas already kicked you out.
26:33What do you want, Mr. Hunt?
26:34I wouldn't call it advice.
26:36Just curious.
26:37Does a pretty little thing who slept her way to the top
26:39really think she can bid here?
26:41Mr. Hunt is right.
26:43A one-person studio going up against us?
26:45What a joke.
26:45Whether I'm just a pretty face or not,
26:48my work will speak for itself.
26:49Your work?
26:52Ella, don't forget how your father's studio went under.
26:56Your little tricks mean nothing to me.
27:04Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience.
27:06The winner of the city landmark project is about to be announced.
27:10That's my dad's design.
27:12The one Andy stole?
27:13I am pleased to announce that the winning bid goes to...
27:16Without a doubt, it's mine.
27:25Ella Studio!
27:28I won?
27:31Impossible!
27:32A tiny studio with zero track record!
27:35On what grounds?
27:37The bidding was completely fair.
27:39Please do not disrupt the event, Mr. Hunt.
27:43Let's go!
27:48Why?
27:48Why did they pick me?
27:53Congratulations, Miss Cole.
27:57Thank you, Mr. George.
27:58I still can't quite believe it.
28:01Your talent is obvious to everyone.
28:02You earned this.
28:03Obvious?
28:04But I'm just an independent designer starting out.
28:06You were the designer behind those new Thorne Group projects,
28:09Ella Thorne.
28:10Thorne Group?
28:11Everyone's saying, Nicholas didn't just find a good wife.
28:14He found a great business partner, too.
28:21The designer of this brilliant project is my wife, Ella.
28:28I can guarantee she will be the brightest rising star in the design world.
28:36So, you weren't stealing my ideas?
28:46Nicholas, what are you thinking?
28:54You got this, Ella.
28:57Good times are coming.
29:05You bitch!
29:10Andy?
29:11What happened to you?
29:13What happened to me?
29:16It's all because of you!
29:18Nicholas told everyone about that day and blacklisted me.
29:23Leon Hunt kicked me out like trash.
29:25No one in the industry will hire me now.
29:28This is all your fault.
29:29You and Nicholas Thorne.
29:32You brought this on yourself.
29:34Shut up!
29:37I'm dead anyway, so I'm not letting you live either.
29:40Today, I'm sending you to hell.
29:54Get out of my way!
29:57I'm not letting you live where you are.
30:01Nicholas.
30:06Why is he...
30:07Let me go!
30:09I'll kill her!
30:25Don't be scared.
30:28Are you...
30:29Are you hurt?
30:30Are you crazy?
30:34Why did you do that?
30:37Blood.
30:38There's so much blood.
30:41Nicholas, hold on.
30:43I'll get help.
30:48Don't move.
30:50Let me see if you're hurt.
30:58Ella!
31:00Ella, what's wrong?
31:04Ella!
31:05Wake up!
31:06Ella!
31:13Ella!
31:15Hold on!
31:24Don't be scared.
31:25I'm taking you to the hospital.
31:30You're going to be okay.
31:31You're going to be okay.
31:32You have to be.
31:36Ella!
31:37Stay with me!
31:42Doctor!
31:43Help!
31:44Save her, please!
31:48Sir, you're hurt too.
31:50It's serious.
31:54Save her first.
31:55Hurry.
31:56Get her checked out.
31:59I'm going with her.
32:01Sir, if you don't stop the bleeding, you're going to die.
32:20I...
32:20I...
32:21Where am I?
32:22Where's Nicholas?
32:28Mrs. Ella, you're awake.
32:30Doctor, what's wrong with me?
32:35You're...
32:37Pregnant.
32:39Pregnant?
32:40I...
32:40I'm having Nicholas' baby?
32:44Miss Cole, the boss.
32:46Nicholas wants to see you.
32:52Sorry, I don't want to see him right now.
32:54Either way, he saved your life.
33:02Fine.
33:16Ella, are you okay?
33:25I'm warning you.
33:27Don't even think about using this baby to hold over my head.
33:35Ella!
33:37The boss!
33:38He's dying!
33:44He said he had to see you one last time.
33:46No matter what!
33:51James, don't talk to Ella like that.
33:56I'm sorry.
34:01Ella, can you come closer?
34:16At your graduation show.
34:21And this is the street.
34:35That day, I didn't just see a genius designer.
34:39I saw a woman glowing with life.
34:45From that moment on, I couldn't get you out of my mind.
34:49But I...
34:50But I...
34:51I was an idiot.
34:53I didn't know how to get close to someone.
34:58I only knew the stupidest way
35:01to use a contract to force you to stay.
35:09I thought if I locked you up, I thought if I locked you up, you'd be mine.
35:16I was wrong.
35:17I was wrong, Ella.
35:18I was so wrong.
35:20You were right.
35:24I never respected you, never treated you as an equal.
35:28That's because I was scared.
35:30I was afraid that if you saw the real me,
35:35you'd think I was boring and leave.
35:39Ella, I'm sorry.
35:44If you'll let me, I want to say...
35:48I love you, my wife.
36:05I love you too, Nicholas.
36:13Oh, Nicholas, you would be so proud of me.
36:16But you're not here, and I'm all alone.
36:20Come in.
36:23Miss Cole, don't forget the press conference later.
36:25James, I really think you're the one who deserves to sit in this chair.
36:29Miss Cole, with your talent, you can definitely run the Thorn Group well.
36:32Besides, it's Mr. Nicholas' dying wish.
36:37The group has acquired Cole's studio.
36:40In two years, return the studio to Ella and give her full support.
36:45The investigation report on the Hunt Group...
36:47Make sure to get justice for Miss Cole.
36:52Nicholas, why didn't you tell me earlier?
36:56Why didn't you tell me you did all this for me?
37:00Let's welcome the new head of the Thorn Group.
37:11I am Ella Thorn.
37:15Nicholas Thorn's wife.
37:22I am Ella Thorn.
