00:44non-stop over her luke was sure emma would back down this time just like she always had but this
00:50time
00:50emma didn't yield she just watched luke scold her impatiently while texting olivia with a smile
00:57and felt their years together meant nothing she sat silently no intention of apologizing
01:05when emma didn't cave luke clicked his tongue grabbed his phone and left the meeting room
01:10emma sat staring at the horse papers on the desk lost in thought until her phone buzzed with voice
01:17messages luke is emma upset about the document should i explain and apologize to her in person
01:23no need if she wants to be upset let her i'm not her guardian i don't have to indulge her
01:29luke don't
01:30be like that girls need comfort you'll push her away i'm tired of her dependent emotional act
01:36after five years every divorce talk she cries and begs i hope she stays strong this time so i can
01:43be rid
01:43of her she'll come crying to you tomorrow let's bet loser buys coffee for a week that night luke didn't
01:49come home i didn't bombard him with calls like i used to after my parents died in a car accident
01:56mr robert anderson took me in and i've lived with luke ever since
02:03luke always protected me standing up for me whenever i was excluded at school
02:08we went through law school together became practicing lawyers and were inseparable every
02:14step of the way everyone assumed i would be luke's wife and he never denied it five years
02:19of companionship made him irreplaceable
02:23i dreamed of our future together and truly believed we would never drift apart from each other
02:29our peaceful life changed when olivia and her father jack sponsored by the firm arrived
02:36olivia came to the anderson family a year ago her father jack a compulsive gambler owing huge debts
02:42robert paid off jack's debts gave olivia an internship and arranged an apartment for them
02:49luke and i sympathized with olivia helped her adjust to work and got along well at first
02:56have you made any progress with young master luke
03:01yes luke takes good care of me but he's always surrounded by that emma carter
03:06i can't separate them just yet no matter how hard i've tried these days
03:10you need to hurry up then the anderson family is well known in new york
03:14once you're with young master luke we'll be set for life no more hiding from debt collectors
03:19don't worry dad i'll definitely get luke no matter what it takes
03:23i was stunned by their conversation and dropped my fold it by accident olivia and jack turned to see
03:30me panic flashed on their faces but the greed and scheming in their eyes stabbed my heart like
03:38needles i was no match for the scheming olivia who targeted me again and again first she locked
03:43herself in the firm's archive room and claimed i did it out of revenge before a meeting she faked
03:48diarrhea and falsely accused me of drugging her coffee no matter what i said luke never believed
03:53me next olivia stole the only precious heirloom pocket watch my parents left me destroyed it right
03:59in front of me to deliberately provoke me into slapping her hard she made sure luke walked in
04:04and witnessed the scene and he immediately decided i had been relentlessly bullying her this entire
04:09time luke grew utterly and completely disappointed in me olivia kept pushing hard for divorce while i
04:14kept begging for reconciliation hoping to expose her ugly true nature to him but her
04:18manipulation was far too sophisticated and cruel for me to counter with my honest straightforward
04:22words and desperate heartfelt actions when olivia learned luke and i were working on a major high
04:27stakes international merger case together she snuck into my home study and stole my critical case files
04:32she wanted to make me fail in court but i noticed the theft in time and had secure electronic backups
04:38avoiding a major disaster olivia was utterly despicable she used every dirty trick in private yet
04:43acted innocent in public playing the victim by crying about her tragic upbringing i never knew
04:49if leek loved her or just felt sorry for her all i knew was he hurt me again and again
04:53for her selfish
04:54sake i humiliated myself repeatedly begging him for reconciliation far too attached to our precious
04:59five-year relationship to ever let go for five years luke had my guiding light the one
05:03who took care of me i couldn't imagine life without him
05:06every time he threatened divorce i apologized and backed down but when i heard luke's cold
05:11annoyed indifferent tone in the voice messages olivia sent me i finally woke up completely from
05:16my years of delusion i realized luke didn't disbelieve me because olivia was clever he was
05:22just tired of me and had long wanted to get rid of me entirely if that's what he truly wants
05:26with
05:26all his heart so be it i won't apologize anymore and i won't beg for his love or attention ever
05:32again
05:33i will not tear up the divorce papers olivia had him prepare for us and i will face whatever comes
05:38next
05:38with my head held high i didn't tear up the divorce papers luke had signed i calmly signed my name
05:43submitted my resignation and dialed ian black ian i've made up my mind i accept your offer to join
05:49your firm as a partner a wise decision we'll offer you a competitive salary full relocation assistance
05:53and a generous signing bonus for your qualifications after signing the resignation papers i finally felt a
05:58huge weight lift off my chest and slept soundly through the entire night i no longer stayed up waiting
06:04for luke to come home and i never sent a single text asking where he was or what he was
06:09doing
06:10i didn't tear up the divorce papers luke had signed instead i calmly signed my name and submitted my
06:17resignation ian i've made up my mind i accept your offer to join as a partner once i signed my
06:27resignation documents i finally felt at ease and lay down to rest the next morning i scrolled through
06:35olivia's social media posts when i entered conference room three i saw a few partners already
06:41seated olivia suddenly stood up holding a freshly brewed cup of coffee emma i made you a coffee added
06:46double cream like you like it emma carter what the hell is wrong with you why did you push olivia
06:59i didn't touch olivia she fell by herself if you don't believe me we can check the office surveillance
07:04luke glared at what with fury mention of chastig's answer ovia drone you spoke up i didn't return to
07:09the public office area i stayed quietly on the partner floor sorting through my things
07:17mrs carter mr luke would like you to go to conference room three
07:23i didn't go to luke's office instead i went to a nearby clinic to treat the burns
07:28my phone buzzed it was a call from my friend lillian hello emma did you and luke fight again
07:33he's at the behemoth house with olivia he posted on social media asking for 1 000 breakup happy gifts
07:39to get a divorce he's already got 999 i opened luke's social media and saw the glaring
07:44divorce announcement i thought back to a night a year ago when we hit our five-year anniversary
07:50i'll book the outdoor cinema in central park and we'll watch your favorite movie casablanca
07:56i stared at the photo for a long time then scrolled down to the virtual gift icon and gently tapped
08:03it
08:03the 999 changed to 1000
08:10instead of the sharp pain i had expected i felt an odd sense of relief
08:16as if i had finally let go of a burden i'd been carrying for far too long
08:24the group of friends gathered around staring at the screen with the gift count at 1000
08:30the atmosphere immediately became awkward luke don't be mad emma might have just acted on impulse
08:37impulse she's clearly trying to provoke me he decided to ignore her for a while longer
08:42let her see how hard life was without him when she can't take it anymore she'll come crawling back
08:48the next few days luke took olivia to the ski resort in vermont
08:53emma saw every single photo she didn't react at all she just liked each one with a single tap
09:01after i liked the post i left a rare comment congratulations within five minutes olivia
09:09deleted all the ski related posts soon after my phone rang it was mike luke's business partner
09:15mike luke and i are already divorced i have the signed divorce agreement do you want me to send
09:20it to you the next day at noon i left the apartment i had lived in for five years dragging
09:26two suches
09:27behind me
09:34the car continued toward jfk airport
09:38i sat down at a cafe in the lounge ordered a black coffee and pulled out my laptop
09:44i'd barely typed a few lines when the light in front of me suddenly blocked out
09:48olivia stood at my table her face a mix of smugness and pity emma what a coincidence are you here
09:53to
09:53pick up luke he told me he's completely over you taking care of you was just because of his
09:57father's request don't you get it i'm not here to pick him up i'm going to new york the reason
10:00he always sides with me isn't because he's cluntless about my tactics it's because he's
10:04already made choice he's chosen me i stood up and raised my hand a sharp slap rang out landing
10:09solidly across olivia's face this slap is for my parents as for you and luke trash belongs in the
10:14trash can i wish you both a lifetime of happiness but please stay away from ruining other people's
10:19lives luke waited at the vip exit at the airport looking out for emma but she never showed up
10:25where is she he tried calling first getting a busy signal and then it went straight to voicemail
10:36she she not only cursed me out she hit me she hit me trash belongs in the trash can i
10:41wish you both
10:41a lifetime of happiness but please stay away from ruining others luke's face turned ashen he
10:48recognized emma's voice and he could hear the finality and disgust in her words without warning
10:53he spun around and kicked over the giant decorative cape meanwhile i had just landed at new york's jfk
11:04airport a message popped up exit c black mercedes ian welcome to new york
11:22call me ian we're partners now mr black i'm sorry for the trouble of picking me up in person
11:32you deserve it emma he said he reviewed the antitrust case he said i did exceptionally well
11:58i stared at the screen i knew this call was a ghost from a life i'd buried emma luke's party
12:07isn't
12:07over everyone's waiting luke remember that instructor we had when we went skiing in vermont
12:12he said my form had a lot of potential
12:21i have the signed divorce agreement don't call me about luke again
12:37and then i saw it the reason i should care and the reason i didn't all right folks king's game
12:51the usual rule ace picks the challenge mike was trying to fix it but some things can't be fixed
12:59with a parlor trick whoever gets the ace of hearts or king of diamonds you'll do a close kiss
13:05and it has to last 30 seconds start the timer
13:13start the timer
13:17jack of spades safe or so he thought
13:22whoops my mistake luke yours is the king of diamonds king's orders can't be ignored
13:30when exes break up it's like they've died to each other
13:46he closed the distance not for her for the ghost he hoped was watching a sweet overpowering floral
13:55scent nothing like emma nothing like home
14:02i'll send it to emma she won't be able to sit still
14:1330 seconds felt longer than 30 years of marriage
14:22she really wasn't coming she really
14:32just rest here luke emma probably just has something going on they called it rest it felt like a burial
14:57a soft hand a gentle voice a viper in silk luke woke with a mind full of broken glass and
15:06a body he
15:07didn't recognize the warmth beside him felt wrong poisonless
15:16it was of liquor and something sweeter more sinister cheating is my bottom line luke
15:21it's over
15:24no she played the victim with practiced ease
15:27i forced yourself on me luke
15:30but luke wasn't listening to her tears
15:33he was listening to the echo of a warning he should have heeded
15:37you
15:43the heat in his veins last night wasn't desire it was chemistry
15:48you drugged me
15:49you and that pathetic gambling rat you call a father
15:51and the formula was written all over her lying mouth
15:55it was the spray
15:57my father gave it to me
15:59i love you luke i just wanted you to want me
16:03he saw it all now emma wasn't jealous she was right and he had traded a diamond for this film
16:08nothing happened that was the lie he had to live with but the truth
16:12if emma hears a whisper of this you and your father will disappear from new york
16:18got it
16:22he thought he was cleaning up a mess he didn't realize he was just spreading the stain further
16:35the man in the mirror was estranged covered in a filth that no shower could ever wash away
16:48that bitch olivia set me up she drugged me
16:53what you slept with her
16:56mike was right a woman who would use chemicals to get into his bed would use anything to stay there
17:03if emma hears a whisper of this i'll make sure she and her father live worse than rats in the
17:08sour
17:22miss carter said you would want these back no no no no no no no no no no
17:30hello emma
17:33blocked just like that the woman who once answered before the first ring had built a wall
17:39out of silence
17:40luke we're divorced where i am is none of your business
17:46five years of marriage shattered by a single reckless bet now luke miller's world is about
17:52to burn to the ground emma i didn't submit that agreement to the court i don't agree with the
17:58divorce
18:03the legal vitality is not determined by your unilateral will
18:08both parties signed the notarization is complete and the certificate is already effective
18:15this is the result that was just a joke on social media i was angry at the time
18:23i didn't think anyone would actually comment a joke get a hundred divorce comments and i'll follow
18:28through luke that was a public declaration to all our mutual friends where are you going where are you
18:33right now have you already found someone else that's why you're so eager to get rid of me
18:38luke at this point you're still trying to slander me to justify your mistakes you really disgust me
18:49the anderson family's pristine long island estate once a symbol of wealth and power is about to
18:55become the stage for a vicious extortion plot where's that bastard luke anderson
19:04jack breaking and entering is illegal illegal
19:09look at what you did right this is right
19:16the evidence is irrefutable you either settle privately pay five million dollars sign a
19:21confidential agreement or i'll report it to the police and the media the heir to anderson
19:25law firm rapes a poor intern this news will be explosive don't you think extortion
19:29jack do you really think your tricks will intimidate me i need time to raise the money
19:36have the police waiting no negotiation luke bought 24 hours robert used every minute
19:43the evidence was indisputable the extortion plot was over the mess was cleaned up but none of it mattered
19:50there was only one thing on luke's mind i have to see her i have to beg for her forgiveness
20:05i'm a bastard look humiliation is a performance and luke anderson was giving the show of his life
20:13he thought he was proving passion he was only proving why she had left
20:30ian black didn't ask questions he removed the obstacle
20:42and just like that the past was physically removed from the premises all that remained was the echo
20:54the chaos of the day had faded for the first time in a long time emma was no longer running
21:00from her past
21:02she was finally building her future
21:06i saw your light still on dinner time has passed don't ruin your stomach just because you're young
21:17thank you ian
21:26even if you're not hungry you should eat the sushi is from that place downstairs you mentioned liking
21:33over the past six months your performance at the firm has exceeded expectations
21:37that cross portal merger case the opposing team of lawyers was tough but the negotiation strategy
21:42you led was excellent the client was very satisfied and specifically requested that you handle all future business
21:48it's the result of the team's effort and it's you who gave me the opportunity and platform ian
21:55without your invitation back then i might still be
22:03opportunities are only given to those who are prepared
22:07emma it's your own ability and choices that have brought you to where you are today
22:14it's late let me take you home no need to trouble yourself i'll just take a cab
22:24all right as a friend let's also discuss next week's hearing strategy on the way
22:33he had called her jealousy cute he had called her pain dramatic now he was drowning in the exact same
22:41poison he had fed her for a year
22:53a thousand words typed into the void a thousand words she would never read
23:07she came not with the fire of anger but with the cry of a woman who had already moved on
23:15take it don't stand down here go back and change don't catch a cold he watched her walk away into
23:23a
23:24future he was no longer a part of and in that moment the distance between them became infinite
23:35the words seriously involved weren't just a statement they were the sound of the last door slamming shut
23:42for luke anderson the nightmare was only beginning
23:57pressure doesn't just bend steel it bursts the strongest vessels license car home
24:09he sold the pieces of his past to pay for a future that had already cancelled him emma carter
24:16will you let me spend my life making you as happy as you make everyone in that courtroom
24:22she stood at the peak cherished he stood in the cold forgotten that ring it was the life he had
24:29thrown away
