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?
00:29Who do you think you are?
00:33Mr. Thorne.
00:35The money will be in your accounts within an hour.
00:37Now, 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.
00:55Marriage?
00:55A deal?
00:56What makes you think I'll agree?
00:58It's because 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.
01:23Good.
01:25Don't delude yourself
01:26into getting any affection from me.
01:28Let alone covet any property
01:30of the Thorne family.
01:32I only want money, Mr. Thorne.
01:34Play your role obediently.
01:37After two years, we'll be even.
01:50This, this is my Sky City design proposal
01:53that was rejected five years ago?
02:01Nicholas Thorne.
02:03What kind of person are you exactly?
02:18I can't believe you're wearing that.
02:20It's hideous.
02:22Put it on.
02:28Where are you going?
02:29The dressing room.
02:32Change here.
02:34Mr. Thorne, I need some privacy.
02:35Just a piece of merchandise
02:37I bought for 50 million.
02:40Merchandise 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.
02:59You're humiliating me.
03:01I'm just making you face reality.
03:03I'm just making you face a lot.
03:04I need some privacy.
03:06I'm just making you face real.
03:09Possible.
03:14Are we done?
03:17Move.
03:21Where to?
03:22None of your business.
03:31Nicholas, you're finally heir.
03:34I 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.
04:08I'm so sorry, Miss Ella.
04:10I didn't mean to.
04:17He 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?
04:34Andy?
04:34Andy?
04:41Ella, you've changed.
04:44I barely, barely recognized you.
04:47Angie, what are you trying to say?
04:52We used to work so hard on our designs together.
04:55And now you've married into a rich family and become a socialite.
04:59How 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, but 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 and my only love.
06:53Anyone who dares to say a single word against my wife is making an enemy of the 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.
07:19Nicholas.
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.
07:41Ella Cole, did you forget your place?
07:46I...
07:47laughing stock, or bring shame to me and the Thorne Group.
07:51That's all.
07:55Remember 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?
08:30Is 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.
09:32Did he just call me beautiful?
09:35Just get out first.
09:36At least let me put some clothes on.
09:44Ella.
09:46I never thought this day would come.
09:50What are you doing?
09:52Let go of me!
09:54Don't run.
10:01Nicholas, you jerk!
10:03Let me go!
10:04Don't run.
10:05You're mine.
10:09Ow!
10:10You'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!
10:22I 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.
10:33That, that 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,
11:22maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
11:33So, you're not really that cold after all.
11:38You're awake.
11:50Nicklaus?
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...
13:12Lost my appetite.
13:23How long are you planning to ignore me?
13:29Excuse me, Mr. Thorne?
13:31Ella Cole, I'm talking to you.
13:33I have nothing to say.
13:36Ignoring 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?
14:27These 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, but you.
14:49How dare you break MI to my private study?
14:54You can sneak into my room and steal my work.
14:57Why 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.
15:22Everything else?
15:24Your feelings, your body, your talent, your ideas.
15:28The moment you signed, they 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 Bones, 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.
16:27Ella, I will pay back the $50 million with interest.
16:36Ella, call!
16:39Let's call the mail, please!
16:41If you walk out that door, I promise you will regret it!
16:48You will come crawling back to me!
16:51You will!
17:04Miss 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?
17:32But 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?
17:46Nicholas Tharch.
17:58A whole month, and I haven't landed a single client.
18:11Well, if it isn't her highness, Mrs. Thorne,
18:14what are you doing hiding in a dump like this?
18:17Get out.
18:20You bitch.
18:22Nicholas kicked you out after all, huh?
18:24I said get 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?
19:19My boss, Leon Hunt,
19:21wanted your old man's designs.
19:22So he sent me
19:24to get close to you.
19:26Leon Hunt.
19:28Nicholas's biggest rival?
19:31Thanks to you being an idiot,
19:33I finished the job so fast.
19:40Andy,
19:41I couldn't have sorted these blueprints off
19:42so fast without your help.
19:49So you leaked our studio's designs?
19:52Don't worry,
19:53I was very careful
19:54when I handed those designs over to Mr. Hunt.
19:58You!
19:59How dare you!
20:01Did you think that was it?
20:04Let me tell you another secret.
20:06Your father's life work,
20:08Cole's studio,
20:09the reason it went bankrupt,
20:11that was all me.
20:17What did you say?
20:19Don't get it?
20:20I said,
20:22I destroyed your dad's pathetic studio
20:24with my own hands.
20:30I'm the one who told the investors
20:32you stole Hunt Group's designs.
20:34That's why you got hit
20:35with 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
20:44like a dog to those investors
20:46was 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.
20:55Nice body,
20:57pretty face.
20:58No wonder Nicholas wanted you.
21:03Let go of me.
21:06Let go of me.
21:07Let you go?
21:08I don't think so.
21:09Dating you was such a waste of my time.
21:13You were like a dead fish.
21:14So boring.
21:15What?
21:16What are you doing?
21:19What 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
21:36you 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
21:55when you cross me.
22:14Nicholas Thorne?
22:23You're crazy!
22:27You touched her?
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,
23:26and you can still be Mrs. Thorne.
23:29I can keep your studio alive,
23:31even make it better than before.
23:33Are you saying I should thank you
23:35for not ruining my career?
23:36If I can destroy it,
23:37I can build it up.
23:39This is your only chance, Ella.
23:42Do you really think you can buy anything with money?
23:46Nicholas Thorne,
23:47get this through your head.
23:49I am not your merchandise.
23:51I'm not your pet.
23:54My talent,
23:55my dreams,
23:56my dignity,
23:56they are not for you to buy.
23:58You never,
23:59you have never treated me as an equal.
24:02In your eyes,
24:04I am just something for you to control,
24:06to use,
24:07and to throw away when you are done.
24:12I'm not.
24:15Don't ever bother me again.
24:25You never,
24:27you have never treated me as an equal.
24:36Ella.
24:49You never,
24:50you have never treated me as an equal.
25:00Sir,
25:00you wanted to see me?
25:02Lift all commercial restrictions
25:04on Ella Cole's studio.
25:06Immediately.
25:07All of them.
25:09Yes, sir.
25:09And I don't want to hear
25:10any 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?
25:48City landmark?
25:50Why would they invite me to bid?
25:52Mrs. Cole,
25:53based on your recent designs
25:55and a guarantier's recommendation,
25:57you are invited to bid
25:59on the city landmark project.
26:01A guarantiner?
26:02Could it be?
26:05Whoever it is,
26:06I have to grab this chance.
26:10Come on,
26:10Ella,
26:11don't be nervous.
26:16This is your last chance.
26:23Well,
26:23if it isn't the famous Mrs. Thorne.
26:27Oh,
26:28sorry,
26:28I forgot.
26:29Nicholas already
26:30kicked you out.
26:33What do you want,
26:34Mr. Hunt?
26:34I wouldn't call it advice.
26:36Just curious.
26:37Does a pretty little thing
26:38who slept her way to the top
26:39really think she can bid here?
26:42Mr. Hunt is right.
26:43A one-person studio
26:44going up against us?
26:45What a joke.
26:46Whether I'm just a pretty face or not,
26:48my work will speak for itself.
26:50Your work?
26:51Ella,
26:53don't forget how
26:54your father's studio went under.
26:56Your little tricks mean nothing to me.
27:04Ladies and gentlemen,
27:05thank you for your patience.
27:06The winner of the city landmark project
27:08is about to be announced.
27:10That's my dad's design.
27:12The one Andy stole?
27:13I am pleased to announce
27:14that the winning bid goes to
27:16Without a doubt,
27:17it's mine.
27:25Ella's studio.
27:28I...
27:28I won?
27:31Impossible!
27:32A tiny studio
27:33with zero track record
27:35on what grounds?
27:37The bidding was completely fair.
27:39Please do not disrupt the event,
27:40Mr. Hunt.
27:43Let's go.
27:47Why?
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.
28:04Obvious?
28:04But I'm just an independent designer
28:06starting out.
28:06You were the designer
28:07behind those new
28:08Thorne Group projects,
28:09Ella Thorne.
28:10Thorne Group?
28:12Everyone's saying
28:12Nicholas didn't just find
28:13a good wife,
28:14he found a great business partner too.
28:21The designer of this
28:22brilliant project
28:23is my wife,
28:24Ella.
28:27I can guarantee
28:29she will be the brightest
28:30rising star
28:31in the design world.
28:35So,
28:36you weren't stealing
28:38my ideas?
28:46Nicholas,
28:47what are you thinking?
28:54You got this,
28:55Ella.
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
29:19about that day
29:21and blacklisted me!
29:23Leon Hunt kicked me out
29:24like trash!
29:26No one in the industry
29:27will hire me now!
29:28This is all your fault!
29:29You and Nicholas Thorne!
29:32You brought this
29:33on yourself!
29:34Shut up!

29:38so I'm not letting
29:39you live either!

29:41I'm sending you
29:43to hell.

29:57I'm not letting you

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?
30:32Are 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...
30:54Ah!
30:56Ah!
30:56Ah!
30:58Ella!
31:00Ella, what's wrong?
31:04Ella!
31:05Wake up!
31:06Ella!
31:14Ella!
31:15Hold on!
31:24Don't be scared.
31:25I'm taking you to the hospital.
31:30You're gonna be okay.
31:31You 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.
31:53Save her first.
31:55Hurry.
31:56Get her checked out.
31:59I'm going with her!
32:01Sir!
32:02If you don't stop the bleeding, you're gonna die.
32:20I...
32:20Where am I?
32:22Where's Nicholas?
32:28Mrs. Ella, you're awake.
32:30Doctor, what's wrong with me?
32:35You're...
32:36pregnant.
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.
33:15Ella, are you okay?
33:25I'm warning you.
33:27Don't even think about
33:28using 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.
33:47No matter what!
33:50James,
33:51don't talk to Ella
33:53like 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
34:37a genius designer.
34:39I saw a woman glowing with life.
34:45From that moment on,
34:47I couldn't get you out of my mind.
34:49But I...
34:50I 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
35:03to force you to stay.
35:09I thought if I locked you up,
35:12you'd be mine.
35:16I was wrong, Ella.
35:18I was so wrong.
35:20You were right.
35:24I never respected you.
35:25I 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,
35:46I want to say
35:48I love you, my wife.
36:06I love you, too, Nicholas.
36:13Oh, Nicholas,
36:14you would be so proud of me.
36:16But you're not here,
36:17and I'm all alone.
36:20Come in.
36:23Miss Cole,
36:23don't forget the press conference later.
36:25James, I really think
36:26you're the one who deserves
36:27to sit in this chair.
36:29Miss Cole, with your talent,
36:30you can definitely run
36:31the Thorn Group well.
36:32Besides, it's Mr. Nicholas's
36:33dying wish.
36:37The group has acquired
36:39Cole's studio.
36:40In two years,
36:41return the studio to Ella
36:43and give her full support.
36:45The investigation report
36:46on the Hunt Group...
36:47make sure to get justice
36:49for Miss Cole.
36:52Nicholas,
36:53why didn't you tell me earlier?
36:56Why didn't you tell me
36:57you did all this for me?
37:00Let's welcome the new head
37:02of the Thorn Group.
37:12I am Ella Thorn.
37:15Nicholas Thorn's wife.
