02:53husband and wife the date went back two years care to explain cole i'm just as confused as you are
03:03confused you signed a marriage license and have no idea how it happened

04:33family now that alana is his wife the deal still stands i hope you'll understand don't push me to go
04:40against the traditions my family have followed for generations cole's hundred million dress strung
04:48with over four hundred thousand diamonds and pearls was meant to be the star page had dreamed of wearing
04:52it down that aisle for as long as i'd known her kiara and darren knew the jones could never match
04:57the
04:57evans's so they'd scrape together 500 million just to keep up appearances to marry her off in a way the
05:03whole city would talk about but in the end it all became mine there was no mistaking cole's reputation
05:08dangerous decisive and impossible to predict i knew better than to get careless i dare not take
05:12it lightly to this day i still have no idea why i became his wife and i must find out
05:16the truth as
05:16soon as possible kiara darren and page could only watch as everything they'd sacrificed for sparkled on
05:21the wrong girl rage nearly knocked them off their feet a swarm of reporters buzzed outside the jones
05:26family's mansion hungry for any crack in the story cole ignored the commotion and took me away on his private
05:33jet
05:36mom is my dream of becoming the wife of the wealthiest man truly gone absolutely not cole
05:42won't tolerate being trapped like like this alana was shoved into his life you mean
05:45she might not make it through tonight once alana is no longer in the picture cole will come back to
05:50you
05:51just wait i'd only just met cole today but i'd heard every story about him they called him cold-blooded
05:57even ruthless a man who destroyed anyone who dared cross him those who opposed him either disappeared
06:03or lived to regret it i had no intention of provoking a man like him you had no trouble talking
06:08earlier
06:08why so quiet now it's not like i plan to marry up i just can't shake this bit of unease
06:13unease you
06:14called me darling in front of page like it was the most natural thing in the world there wasn't a
06:17hint of
06:17unease then i was also not as clumsy as you pretend when page lunched at you you moved like a
06:21trained
06:21fighter not a scared girl that was just instinct we'll see i'm just waiting to see how long you
06:28can keep up the charade could cole really accept me with such an unflattering makeup look mr evans

08:15setting off to the jones family's residence so a deal i'll keep your admirers away from you
08:21and you don't interfere in my life once this is sordid i disappear fair
08:52what happened
08:55Why am I here? I fell asleep on the couch.
08:59Honey, you climbed into bed yourself.
09:02I would never.
09:03Actually, you did more than that.
09:06You stripped me down, huddled up to me, and had your hand on my chest.
09:11Shut your mouth.
09:12You even whispered sweet nothings, following me darling.
09:17You're a disgusting liar.
09:20Am I?
09:22I took some videos. If you think I'm lying, go ahead and watch for yourself.
09:33Is everything alright?
09:36And watched myself sleepwalking, crawling right into his bed?
09:40You recorded this? Why didn't you just push me away?
09:43Because you're not done yet. Play the next one.
09:46My stomach twisted, but I tapped the next clip.
09:49Honey, don't you think this is a little excessive?
09:51One more word and I'll spang even harder.
09:53This time, my limbs were wrapped all around him.
09:57You're adorably fierce. How was I supposed to resist?
09:59I couldn't take it. I tore off the covers and sprinted into the bathroom, slamming the door.
10:05Honey, time's ticking. The elders are waiting to meet us. Better get moving.
10:10What do I wear?
10:12I've got you covered.
10:18Where are my glasses?
10:22Just try not to give my grandpa a heart attack with that haunted doll look.
10:26He grabbed my hand and led me downstairs, where the entire family was waiting, their eyes cold and sharp.
10:40Alana, let's get the formalities over with.
10:43He walked away with a dismissive air.
10:45The whole family is at the breakfast table. Do join us.
10:49The atmosphere was heavy, like a courtroom before a verdict.
10:54I knew Irene was up to something. She's always been the type to hide her venom behind a smile.
11:00Alana, do you realize the entire city is practically counting down the days until Cole ends up a widower?
11:07Actually, I haven't really kept up with the news these days.
11:10I could see the frustration in her eyes.
11:12She thought she could rattle me, but she was wrong.
11:16Let me get straight to the point, Alana. Cole was supposed to marry Paige.
11:20You were a last-minute replacement, and that caused a storm online.
11:24She was trying to make me feel guilty, to make me think I was the one causing all the trouble,
11:29but I wasn't falling for it.
11:30The gossip's gotten out of hand, and it's dragging down the Evans group's stock price.
11:35Since you're now officially Cole's wife, it falls on you to protect the Evans family's reputation.
11:41What makes her qualified to be the matriarch of the family?
11:44This family is packed with scholars and high achievers.
11:47How's someone like her supposed to lead anything?
11:50Irene's son, Jeff, was just like his mother.
11:53Spoiled, arrogant, and quick to judge.
11:56Jeff, that's not how we speak to family.
11:59Alusha is Cole's wife, and she deserves our respect.
12:02Trinity was even more dangerous than Irene.
12:05She knew how to manipulate people with her kindness.
12:07If my wife doesn't deserve your respect, then maybe I don't either.
12:12Is that what you meant?
12:13I didn't expect Cole to stand up for me.
12:16But when he did, I felt a strange sense of relief.
12:23Irene has a point.
12:25As the family's matriarch, I should take charge.
12:29I'll handle the online mess myself.
12:32Alana, there's something crucial I'm entrusting to you.
12:35You can't afford to fail.
12:37Understand?
12:41Alana, you were pulled into this marriage against your will.
12:44The public scandal surrounding the Evans family isn't something you caused,
12:48and it's not something that can reasonably be placed on your shoulders to repair.
12:52I was surprised by Ruben's words.
12:54I didn't expect him to be so understanding.
12:56Still, Irene did have a point.
12:58The matriarch of this family should have both integrity and ability.
13:01It can't be someone who never completed elementary school.
13:03Because of that gap in your education, I'm giving you one year to catch up.
13:07I'll make sure you're enrolled in the best school, and by next summer you'll need to take the STs and
13:12earn a place at a university.
13:14Okay.
13:14I could see the surprise in everyone's eyes.
13:17They didn't think I could do it.
13:18But I was determined to prove them wrong.
13:23Dad, isn't that a bit much to expect from her?
13:26Yes, it's hard.
13:28But the woman who leads this family must endure pressure.
13:31If she can't handle this, how will she guide a household as large and complicated as ours?
13:36I knew Ruben wouldn't back down.
13:38He was determined to make me prove myself.
13:42Alana, you see, Ruben clearly has faith in you.
13:45If you ever hit a wall with your studies, I'd be happy to help all the time.
13:48Thank you, but I won't be needing that.
13:51Ruben, I may not have attended school recently, but I've been studying on my own.
13:55I want to sit for this year's SATs.
13:57I could see the surprise in everyone's eyes.
14:00They didn't think I could do it, but I was determined to prove them wrong.
14:05You heard correctly.
14:07Cole, have her registered to take the SETs at Kent High School.
14:11Understood.
14:12I knew Cole would follow Ruben's orders.
14:15He was a man of his word.
14:17Do you have a study plan?
14:18I could set up a tutor if you'd prefer.
14:21I'll take care of the studying myself.
14:24But today, I want to visit my family.
14:27Considering all that happened yesterday,
14:29it's probably best you go back and smooth things over with your family.
14:33Take Cole with you.
14:35Cole, put together something thoughtful for the Jones family.
14:39Make it generous.
14:43Come on, let's go.
14:57I couldn't believe what had happened last night.
15:00I had undressed Cole, curled up against him, and stayed there the whole night.
15:05It was beyond embarrassing.
15:09What's running through your mind?
15:10You're blushing so much.
15:13Honey, didn't you just beg me for hugs, kisses, and to be lifted into the air like a princess?
15:18Want me to do so right here?
15:24We just laid down the rules.
15:25Why are you pulling this crap again?
15:27Wasn't it your request?
15:28I figured you had some big reason, so I played along.
15:31Why the heck would I ask for that?
15:34Another video recording?
15:36Come here, darling.
15:38Give me a kiss and a hug.
15:41This.
15:44Thanks for the lift.
15:45Catch you later.
15:51Call me if you need me.
15:54I'll swing by to pick you up later.
16:05Alana, you two-faced...
16:07What sick game did you play to hook Cole?
16:09Paige, you must have forgotten.
16:10I didn't lift a finger, and then Cole became my husband.
16:13Believe me, I'd love to pull a few tricks, but I just didn't get the chance.
16:19Oh, and just so you know, Cole and I slept together last night.
16:23What can I say?
16:24That body, that strength, those skills?
16:27Paige, it's a shame you'll never get to experience that.
16:30Rita, my mother and a medical prodigy, had always been sensible, never one to cause drama.
16:36Even when she discovered Darren had an affair and even an illegitimate daughter,
16:40she had decided against confrontation,
16:42choosing instead to pour herself into researching medical treatments.
16:46Then one night, a fire had torn through the Jones family home.
16:49Acting decisively, Rita had dragged me to safety,
16:52whispered a few final words, and run back into the flames, never to return.
16:57I was determined to find my mother.
16:59I knew she was still out there somewhere, and I was going to find her no matter what.
17:05Mom, what do I do now?
17:07Be patient.
17:08Once we capture those compromising photos of Alana and spread them online,
17:12let's see how long the Evans family holds on to those absurd traditions.
17:17What are you planning?
17:21We'll do this.
17:24Mom, get more guys involved.
17:26I want Alicia ruined.
17:28Utterly gang-banged.
17:37Alana, darling, I reserved a private room at Royal Club.
17:40Let's have a family dinner to celebrate your recent marriage.
17:42Sounds wonderful.
