Billionaire's Contracted Favor
Transcript
00:00:00What are your conditions?
00:00:01Marry me.
00:00:02The doctor said I have to decide today,
00:00:04but I've gone through my entire contacts
00:00:07and I can't borrow a dime to save my mom.
00:00:10Am I really out of options?
00:00:19The surgery can be arranged right now.
00:00:23What are your conditions?
00:00:25Marry me.
00:00:27You've got the wrong person.
00:00:30No.
00:00:31You need the money, and I need a wife.
00:00:36You have no other choice.
00:00:40For how long?
00:00:45One year.
00:00:48You will regret this time limit.
00:00:51I thought it was just a deal back then.
00:00:53I didn't know I was signing away,
00:00:55a life I could no longer control.
00:01:01The third rule is void.
00:01:08Go in.
00:01:10I'm not here to put on an act.
00:01:12It started the moment you signed.
00:01:17Good evening, Mrs. Blake.
00:01:24Those words felt more real and piercing than the cold contract itself.
00:01:30Rules.
00:01:31First, act like a real married couple.
00:01:35Second, no questions about the past.
00:01:38Third, never step out of my control.
00:01:42The third rule is void.
00:01:45You signed up for my rules.
00:01:47I signed a marriage certificate, not a bill of sale.
00:01:54He wasn't just controlling me.
00:01:56He was making them or sing her prostity.
00:01:59Try breaking them.
00:02:00He was making me willingly step into his cage.
00:02:06I knew it was all an act.
00:02:08But coming from him, those words sounded way too real.
00:02:15How did Ethan tie the knot?
00:02:20I clearly didn't belong here.
00:02:23Those stairs were suffocating.
00:02:32No warnings.
00:02:33No questions.
00:02:36But in that moment, I didn't push him away.
00:02:46My wife.
00:02:48I knew it was all an act.
00:02:51But coming from him, those words sounded way too real.
00:02:55Suddenly, I refused to be looked down on by anyone.
00:03:07You're late.
00:03:09I suddenly realized I wasn't being dragged here.
00:03:12I was stepping into his world.
00:03:19What exactly do you want?
00:03:21You.
00:03:22Three days here and zero sense of belonging.
00:03:26Is this really my life now?
00:03:33Can't sleep?
00:03:35Still getting used to it.
00:03:42What exactly do you want?
00:03:45You.
00:03:50Lena.
00:03:50I wanted to fight back, but no words came out.
00:03:53Because I knew he was dead serious.
00:03:57Don't make me take this seriously.
00:04:00Don't make me take this seriously.
00:04:01Suddenly, it hit me.
00:04:03The real danger wasn't him.
00:04:05It was me.
00:04:07Good night.
00:04:11I thought I won.
00:04:13But I knew the truth.
00:04:15I didn't step back.
00:04:16Because I wasn't afraid.
00:04:18But because I didn't want to.
00:04:23In that split second, I didn't pull away.
00:04:26I didn't really want him to let go.
00:04:29I still haven't adapted to the pace here, let alone this man's constant overbearing presence.
00:04:52I didn't want him to let go.
00:05:05I can stand on my own.
00:05:08I pushed him away, not because I hated it, but because I almost didn't want to push him away at
00:05:15all.
00:05:18But because I was actually getting used to him.
00:05:22It was too quiet here.
00:05:23I had to find something to do, just to ignore the uneasiness in my chest.
00:05:44I stared at the pan, but saw absolutely nothing.
00:05:48All my attention was on him, on how close he was.
00:05:52His hand wasn't letting go.
00:05:54And the worst part, I wasn't fighting it at all.
00:05:59My breathing steadied.
00:06:02Not out of tension, but because I was actually getting used to him.
00:06:07That's it.
00:06:09I suddenly realized the danger wasn't him.
00:06:11It was me getting used to him.
00:06:13I didn't move, not because he told me not to, but because I didn't want to.
00:06:21Why do you keep staring at me?
00:06:24Confirming.
00:06:26I could barely stomach a single bite.
00:06:30I could clearly feel his gaze, like an airtight net, pinned on me the entire time.
00:06:40Why do you keep staring at me?
00:06:43Confirming.
00:06:46Confirming what?
00:06:49If you're going to run away.
00:06:52You overestimate me.
00:07:03I don't like uncertainty.
00:07:14Then don't look.
00:07:19But in that split second, I knew every boundary was crumbling.
00:07:27I just got out of the shower when I froze in.
00:07:30Ethan was in my room.
00:07:36This is my room.
00:07:37The atmosphere shifted.
00:07:39I just wanted to get past him, to keep my distance.
00:08:02Air was utterly still.
00:08:04I didn't step back.
00:08:05He didn't move.
00:08:06But in that split second, I knew every boundary was crumbling.
00:08:12One more step, and everything completely shatters.
00:08:15But I realized I didn't actually want to stop it at all.
00:08:23I didn't answer.
00:08:24But in that moment, I suddenly realized, he cares.
00:08:29The dining room was still quiet.
00:08:31But this quiet felt different from the past few days.
00:08:36I could feel it.
00:08:38Ethan's gaze was still on me.
00:08:45What exactly are you looking at?
00:08:49You.
00:08:51What's so interesting about me?
00:08:55Seeing when you'll leave.
00:09:01Afraid I'll run?
00:09:02Not afraid.
00:09:04I just dislike uncertainty.
00:09:07I didn't answer.
00:09:09But in that moment, I suddenly realized, he cares.
00:09:13That thought unsettled me, and it made me waver.
00:09:18That night, I couldn't sleep.
00:09:23I thought I was just trapped here.
00:09:25But now, I'm actually starting to care about what he thinks.
00:09:30This is far more dangerous than the contract.
00:09:35He touched you.
00:09:38Are you spying on me?
00:09:39I'm protecting you.
00:09:41This was my first time leaving the estate on my own.
00:09:45I needed some air, and I needed to find a little piece of the me I used to be.
00:09:51Lena!
00:09:53Daniel!
00:09:59You look even more beautiful than before.
00:10:04He was already gone.
00:10:06But that look he gave me before he left, I couldn't read it.
00:10:18You seemed very happy today.
00:10:20Just a normal chat.
00:10:23He touched you.
00:10:26Are you spying on me?
00:10:27I'm protecting you.
00:10:31I don't like anyone touching what belongs to me.
00:10:34For the first time, I realized, he wasn't cold-blooded at all.
00:10:38He had just been forcefully suppressing it.
00:10:43Then try it.
00:10:50What if I see Daniel again?
00:10:55What are you trying to do?
00:10:57Didn't you say you hate uncertainty?
00:11:00Here's one for you.
00:11:03You want to test me?
00:11:05Yes.
00:11:15Are you sure you know what game you're playing?
00:11:20You could always stop me.
00:11:26Then try it.
00:11:31The air returned, but my heart was still racing.
00:11:35Suddenly, it hit me.
00:11:36I wasn't fighting back just now.
00:11:38I was anticipating it.
00:11:45Don't test me again.
00:11:46I needed to cool down.
00:11:48But standing in the pouring rain, it only became clearer.
00:11:52I couldn't calm down at all.
00:11:54What are you betting on?
00:11:55Betting on whether you'll lose control.
00:12:02You win.
00:12:05If I just moved an inch, it would all be over.
00:12:07But I didn't step back.
00:12:10Didn't even close my eyes.
00:12:12In that moment, I had already made my choice.
00:12:21This wasn't a test anymore.
00:12:23I relaxed and kissed him back.
00:12:26In that moment, the world faded away, leaving nothing but his heat.
00:12:39Don't test me again.
00:12:40I didn't say a word, because I knew deep down, it was already way too late.
00:12:48He threw the question right back at me.
00:12:50My heartbeat was completely erratic.
00:12:53The sun was bright the next morning.
00:12:56Everything seemed way too normal, so normal that it was as if that out-of-control kiss last night never
00:13:01even happened.
00:13:09Are you just going to pretend it didn't happen?
00:13:12What happened?
00:13:17The words got caught in my throat.
00:13:20Because I suddenly realized I didn't know how to define last night.
00:13:24It was a kiss, but it was absolutely more than just a kiss.
00:13:30What do you want it to be?
00:13:33He threw the question right back at me.
00:13:35My heartbeat was completely erratic.
00:13:38I didn't know the answer, and I definitely didn't dare to say it out loud.
00:13:44Then don't define it.
00:13:49Watching his back, it suddenly hit me.
00:13:51It wasn't he didn't care.
00:13:52He was in absolute control, while I had already begun to completely lose mine.
00:14:05I couldn't fight back, because I really did care that he was watching me.
00:14:09His fear has been totally off lately.
00:14:11Every time he gets close, he stops right at the edge.
00:14:16What frustrates me even more is, I'm actually waiting for him to cross it.
00:14:27On the screens, it was all me.
00:14:31Every single frame.
00:14:34Have you always been doing this?
00:14:37Yes.
00:14:40Are you spying on me?
00:14:47I need to know exactly where you are.
00:14:49You're sick.
00:14:56You care.
00:14:57That's enough for me.
00:15:01I couldn't fight back, because I really did care that he was watching me.
00:15:05It hit me then.
00:15:06He wasn't controlling me.
00:15:08He was getting addicted to me.
00:15:16Do you still want to test me?
00:15:18I knew he was behind me the moment the door opened.
00:15:21He didn't press close, but his presence was stronger than any actual touch.
00:15:29What do you want to do now?
00:15:32What do you think?
00:15:36I don't want to guess.
00:15:47Do you still want to test me?
00:16:03I didn't answer, but I didn't pull away either.
00:16:06I knew it deep down.
00:16:08This wasn't the end.
00:16:08It was the beginning of losing complete control.
00:16:15He paused for less than a second.
00:16:17His hand loosened just a fraction.
00:16:21Everything here was flawlessly exquisite.
00:16:24But the moment I stood there, I knew with absolute certainty I didn't belong in this world.
00:16:31Who is she?
00:16:33When did Ethan get married?
00:16:34She doesn't look like she's from our circle.
00:16:36I hated this feeling.
00:16:37Being judged, defined, and forced into a position where I clearly didn't belong.
00:16:46Ethan.
00:16:47Ethan.
00:16:49Ethan.
00:16:49Ethan.
00:16:50He paused for less than a second.
00:16:52His hand loosened just a fraction.
00:16:56But that tiny shift was enough to make my heart sink.
00:17:06It was the first time I heard him say a name like that.
00:17:09No control, no commands.
00:17:11It was the sound of someone familiar.
00:17:16Long time no see.
00:17:18That single look carried a natural superiority, as if evacuating whether I was worthy to stand there.
00:17:23I didn't move, but I knew.
00:17:25For the first time, my place beside him felt completely uncertain.
00:17:31I couldn't hear what she said.
00:17:33But what stung more than any words was,
00:17:36Ethan didn't pull away.
00:17:37You really got married.
00:17:42When did you get back?
00:17:45Yesterday.
00:17:47Just in time for this.
00:17:51Hello?
00:17:55Lena.
00:17:59He's changed quite a bit.
00:18:05Clara.
00:18:07Relax.
00:18:08I'm just curious.
00:18:16I couldn't hear what she said.
00:18:18But what stung more than any words was,
00:18:22Ethan didn't pull away.
00:18:24I hope you can adapt to it here.
00:18:28She left, but I was rooted to the spot.
00:18:30Looking at Ethan, I realized with brutal clarity,
00:18:33I wasn't just dragged into this world.
00:18:35I was put here to be compared.
00:18:37And I had absolutely no way to fight back.
00:18:41I knew deep down, that wasn't me being calm.
00:18:44It was a decision.
00:18:46The car ride back was dead quiet.
00:18:48I waited the whole way for even a single word of explanation.
00:18:53But he said absolutely nothing.
00:18:58I let out a soft laugh, but that tiny sound only ended up piercing my own heart.
00:19:06What?
00:19:07What is it?
00:19:10What are you thinking about?
00:19:15In that moment, my disappointment was absolute.
00:19:18I gave him a chance, and he still didn't take it.
00:19:23Nothing.
00:19:24The door clicked shut softly, but it felt like severing something completely.
00:19:28I knew deep down, that wasn't me being calm, it was a decision.
00:19:35For the first time, I wanted to walk away from his world.
00:19:41You can ask.
00:19:47If I ask, will you tell me?
00:19:54Morning.
00:19:56You're hiding.
00:19:59No, I acted way too normal.
00:20:01But it was exactly this exaggerated normalcy that made the tension in the room even more glaring.
00:20:07What do you want to ask?
00:20:11I don't have the right to ask.
00:20:15You can ask.
00:20:21If I ask, will you tell me?
00:20:29Then there's no need to ask.
00:20:32His silence was the answer.
00:20:34I knew clearly.
00:20:36I had already taken a step back, while he was still stubbornly standing exactly where he was.
00:20:44No.
00:20:45I'm just following our rules.
00:20:51Over the next few days, I stopped waiting for him.
00:20:54I stopped lingering in the living room.
00:20:56I shifted my focus back to myself, instead of this absurd relationship.
00:21:10You've been very busy lately.
00:21:13It's alright.
00:21:15Lena.
00:21:17What is it?
00:21:19You're hiding from me.
00:21:22No.
00:21:23I'm just following our rules.
00:21:26What do you mean?
00:21:28Act like a married couple.
00:21:31And no questions about the past.
00:21:34Her footsteps were light, but they shattered every defense I had.
00:21:38In that exact moment, I finally realized I wasn't controlling her at all.
00:21:44I was losing her.
00:21:49Because I haven't left yet.
00:21:51But that doesn't mean I won't.
00:21:53You've been coming back very late recently.
00:21:59Are you checking up on me?
00:22:02I'm just asking.
00:22:04You never used to ask.
00:22:07You're hiding from me.
00:22:11You just noticed?
00:22:14Why?
00:22:16There's no point anymore.
00:22:19What do you mean?
00:22:21It means...
00:22:22I'm done waiting for things you can't give.
00:22:28What do you want?
00:22:31You're asking now?
00:22:32Forget it.
00:22:38Let go.
00:22:41You say there's no point.
00:22:43Then why are you still here?
00:22:45Because I haven't left yet.
00:22:46But that doesn't mean I won't.
00:22:48You're not going anywhere.
00:22:50Are you sure?
00:22:54You're starting to lose control.
00:22:56I couldn't deny it.
00:22:57Because I felt it too.
00:22:58For the first time, I couldn't completely control the situation.
00:23:01And it was all...
00:23:02Because of her.
00:23:05I'm giving you your final time.
00:23:07The morning sun was gentle.
00:23:09And everything seemed exactly as usual.
00:23:12But I knew deep down, after last night...
00:23:16Everything had already changed.
00:23:21Lena.
00:23:23Yes.
00:23:25What you said yesterday...
00:23:27Were you serious?
00:23:29What do you think?
00:23:31I'm asking you.
00:23:33Yes.
00:23:37Then what are you still doing here?
00:23:40I told you I haven't left yet.
00:23:42But you can take it as...
00:23:44I'm giving you your final time.
00:23:47Are you threatening me?
00:23:49No.
00:23:50I'm deciding for myself.
00:23:53I care about you.
00:23:54I didn't expect him to actually say it.
00:23:56Were those words real?
00:23:57Or just another way to control me?
00:23:58I'm not used to explaining myself.
00:24:00But that doesn't mean I don't care.
00:24:02Too late.
00:24:03He didn't try to stop me.
00:24:04But he knew it clearly.
00:24:05For the first time in his life, he was the one doing the chasing.
00:24:10Do you want me?
00:24:12Or just control?
00:24:18Looking for me.
00:24:21Come in.
00:24:28Go ahead.
00:24:29Don't see Daniel again.
00:24:34Are you jealous?
00:24:36Then in what capacity are you saying this?
00:24:41I'll answer for you.
00:24:42If it's just a contract, you have no right.
00:24:45If it's something else, you need to give me what it's worth.
00:24:53What do you want?
00:24:57I want you to be clear.
00:24:59Do you want me?
00:25:01Or just control?
00:25:04I want you.
00:25:06Then you need to try harder.
00:25:10He didn't chase after me.
00:25:11But he knew very well he was already completely falling for me.
00:25:18You've already lost control.
00:25:22Am I right to assume you're free now?
00:25:26I knew exactly what he meant by that.
00:25:28But I hadn't given him an answer yet.
00:25:36Go back.
00:25:37I'm not done here.
00:25:43Maybe I should just...
00:25:45Sit.
00:25:47Let's go.
00:25:49Let go.
00:25:54You've already lost control.
00:25:58We'll chat another day.
00:25:59This time it wasn't him dragging me away.
00:26:01It was me.
00:26:03Walking out and leading the rhythm.
00:26:07I don't want you with anyone else.
00:26:09Then you need to try harder.
00:26:14I won today's battle.
00:26:16But I also knew this was far from over.
00:26:24Go back.
00:26:26Why?
00:26:29Why?
00:26:30I can't say it.
00:26:32Do you really have to do this?
00:26:36You started this.
00:26:38Come in.
00:26:49Now, tell me.
00:26:51I don't want you with anyone else.
00:26:53Then you need to try harder.
00:26:55Looking into his eyes, I knew he finally realized it.
00:26:58He was no longer controlling me.
00:27:00He was chasing me.
00:27:05All right.
00:27:07It was the first time he accepted my rules.
00:27:11Returning to the estate the next day, everything seemed back to normal.
00:27:15But the dynamic between us had completely changed.
00:27:21Why are you just standing there?
00:27:26About what you said yesterday.
00:27:29I heard it.
00:27:30It's valid.
00:27:32Temporarily.
00:27:34Temporarily.
00:27:36You're still on probation.
00:27:38All right.
00:27:39It was the first time he accepted my rules.
00:27:41I wavered for a split second.
00:27:43But I knew I couldn't step back.
00:27:45If I did, he'd take control again.
00:27:52Any other conditions?
00:27:54Keep it like this.
00:27:55Keep losing control.
00:27:58He didn't chase after me.
00:27:59But he knew it all too well.
00:28:01He was completely wrapped around my finger.
00:28:04Utterly and hopelessly hooked.
00:28:07Are you still trying to hide now?
00:28:10I couldn't focus on work at all.
00:28:12Because from the moment I sat down, I knew he had been watching me.
00:28:18Are you that free?
00:28:21You didn't go out today.
00:28:24Are you watching me?
00:28:32I'm looking at you.
00:28:33Seen enough?
00:28:35Not yet.
00:28:46Are you still trying to hide now?
00:28:52When did I ever hide?
00:28:54Are you sure?
00:29:01You really are losing control.
00:29:09If the outcome is a win, does the process even matter?
00:29:19Where are we going?
00:29:21To meet some people.
00:29:22You are my wife now.
00:29:26Mr. Blake.
00:29:30I didn't step back this time.
00:29:32Since he gave me this title, I was going to own it.
00:29:38Your recent decisions are far too risky.
00:29:41Including your marriage.
00:29:46If the outcome is a win, does the process even matter?
00:29:54Continue.
00:29:59What you did in there, not bad.
00:30:02Just doing my part.
00:30:04But I clearly, from this moment on, I had officially stepped into his world.
00:30:09Not as a subordinate, but as an equal.
00:30:19I won't be back for dinner today.
00:30:22I said, don't look at her.
00:30:23For right now, she's not part of the plan.
00:30:25I'll handle it.
00:30:33I don't know exactly what it is.
00:30:37But I know for sure, he's hiding something from me.
00:30:49You went to bed early, last night?
00:30:52Yeah.
00:31:02I won't be back for dinner today.
00:31:04Where are you going?
00:31:08Don't you have your own arrangements, too?
00:31:14The door closed softly, but in that exact moment, I heard it clearly.
00:31:18A real crack had formed between us.
00:31:22I'll handle it.
00:31:24I see.
00:31:26So I'm just another part of what needs to be handled.
00:31:29I came back earlier than usual without telling him.
00:31:33The moment I opened the door, I knew something was off.
00:31:43You shouldn't have let her get involved.
00:31:45I'll handle it.
00:31:46You used to say that, too.
00:31:48And the result?
00:31:55You're back.
00:31:58Did I interrupt you, too?
00:32:00It's not what you think.
00:32:03Then tell me, what is it?
00:32:08I'll handle it.
00:32:10I see.
00:32:11So I'm just another part of what needs to be handled.
00:32:18You chose to keep me in the dark.
00:32:20So now, there's absolutely no need to make me understand.
00:32:24The morning sun was beautiful.
00:32:26Everything seemed completely normal.
00:32:28But between us, everything was entirely different now.
00:32:37Do you have something to say?
00:32:42Last night...
00:32:43You don't need to explain.
00:32:47You should listen to me.
00:32:50Whatever you say, it's all the same.
00:32:53Because you already made your choice.
00:32:58What do you mean?
00:32:59You chose to keep me in the dark.
00:33:01So now, there's absolutely no need to make me understand.
00:33:05Lina.
00:33:15Where are you going?
00:33:17Isn't it obvious?
00:33:18I didn't take much.
00:33:20But everything was packed neatly.
00:33:22This wasn't an impulse.
00:33:23It was a decision.
00:33:25Every corner of this room used to hold my emotions.
00:33:28But now, they've all faded away.
00:33:39Where are you going?
00:33:41Isn't it obvious?
00:33:42You can't leave.
00:33:46You're doing it again.
00:33:49I can explain.
00:33:52There's no need.
00:33:53You've already said it.
00:33:55You'll handle it.
00:33:57The door closed so softly.
00:33:59But in that moment...
00:34:00The entire space was instantly emptied.
00:34:03I finally understood.
00:34:04She wasn't testing me this time.
00:34:06She was truly leaving me for good.
00:34:12Where is she?
00:34:15She didn't show up today, sir.
00:34:18This was the first time I've looked at her name
00:34:20and had absolutely no idea what to say.
00:34:25Sir?
00:34:25Shall we head back?
00:34:28Sir?
00:34:30Find her.
00:34:38I'm not ignoring his calls to be petty.
00:34:41I just need space to confirm one thing.
00:34:43To see if I can truly leave him for good.
00:34:50Where is she?
00:34:53She didn't show up today, sir.
00:34:58Keep searching.
00:35:03I've looked everywhere.
00:35:04And only now do I realize
00:35:05I can't find her because I never truly knew the whole of her.
00:35:11Keep looking.
00:35:12I will find her.
00:35:18I don't care about control anymore.
00:35:21I only have one thought.
00:35:22I'm bringing her back home.
00:35:25That wasn't just anger.
00:35:27It was a final conclusion.
00:35:28I recovered quickly, as if nothing had happened.
00:35:31But only I know.
00:35:33I'm using logic to suppress every emotion.
00:35:42I found you.
00:35:44What are you doing here?
00:35:47Come back with me.
00:35:50You still don't know how to talk, do you?
00:35:54Then what do you want to hear?
00:35:56I'm not going back.
00:35:57Why?
00:35:57You don't want to?
00:35:58I don't have to explain myself self to you.
00:36:00You don't have to explain yourself to me?
00:36:01No!
00:36:02Don't you understand?
00:36:03I've already left.
00:36:06That wasn't just anger.
00:36:07It was a final conclusion.
00:36:09For the first time,
00:36:10he had no idea how to respond.
00:36:13Go back.
00:36:16I'm not letting you go.
00:36:19Then try me.
00:36:28His first time admitting he was wrong.
00:36:31No excuses.
00:36:32No conditions.
00:36:39This was the first time I shut that world out completely.
00:36:42Because right now,
00:36:43I only belong in front of this door.
00:36:46I knew he was still there.
00:36:47I'm waiting for him to change.
00:36:49Lena.
00:36:50This time,
00:36:51I was wrong.
00:36:54His first time admitting he was wrong.
00:36:57No excuses.
00:36:59No conditions.
00:37:00Just...
00:37:01The truth.
00:37:02Whatever you want.
00:37:04I'll learn.
00:37:16I want to be better for you.
00:37:17No words were needed.
00:37:20In that silent gaze,
00:37:21every rule dissolved,
00:37:23and our world began to reshape itself.
00:37:29I was wrong.
00:37:31I shouldn't have kept secrets,
00:37:33and I shouldn't have excluded you.
00:37:37He said everything he needs to say.
00:37:40The rest is in my hands.
00:37:42I'm not hesitating.
00:37:43I'm judging.
00:37:45Judging if the man in front of me has truly changed.
00:37:49What you just said,
00:37:51say it again.
00:37:54I was wrong.
00:37:55I shouldn't have kept secrets,
00:37:57and I shouldn't have excluded you.
00:37:59And what about the future?
00:38:03From now on,
00:38:04there's no more handling things.
00:38:06I will tell you.
00:38:12Come in.
00:38:18We start over.
00:38:22No contracts.
00:38:24No rules.
00:38:26How do we start?
00:38:29Only...
00:38:30If you are willing.
00:38:32I am.
00:38:36In this moment,
00:38:38everything changed.
00:38:39Not a contract,
00:38:41but a choice.
00:38:46Then look at the results.
00:38:48If we win,
00:38:49do your questions even matter?
00:38:54Three days later,
00:38:56the same building.
00:38:58The same building.
00:39:00This time,
00:39:01no one led me in.
00:39:02I pushed open these doors myself.
00:39:07Personal relationships
00:39:08are clouding our decisions,
00:39:10Mr. Blake.
00:39:11This is unacceptable.
00:39:16Then look at the results.
00:39:18If we win,
00:39:19do your questions even matter?
00:39:23I realized for the first time
00:39:26that when she decides to fight,
00:39:27she doesn't need my protection at all.
00:39:40This time,
00:39:41you don't have to handle me anymore, right?
00:39:46There is nothing left to handle.
00:39:55In this moment,
00:39:56everyone finally saw it.
00:39:58I am no longer a secret
00:40:00hidden away by him.
00:40:01I am the one standing
00:40:03truly and firmly by his side.
00:40:06And this is...
00:40:09my choice.
00:40:14Nervous.
00:40:18little...
00:40:19little...
00:40:20I'm here.
00:40:29And this is...
00:40:33my choice.
00:40:39Is it over?
00:40:50It's just beginning.
00:40:58What now?
00:40:59I'm chasing you.
00:41:01Now?
00:41:01I'm chasing you.
00:41:04Then you'd better chase me
00:41:05for a long time.
00:41:07No contracts.
00:41:08No games.
00:41:09Just two people
00:41:11choosing each other.
00:41:18Ethan.
00:41:23Go slow.
00:41:26You've been standing there
00:41:27for three minutes.
00:41:28I'm judging.
00:41:31Judging what?
00:41:33Whether this bed is safe enough.
00:41:35It was a contract before.
00:41:37It isn't now.
00:41:40You're worried about that now.
00:41:42So,
00:41:43are you afraid of me?
00:41:49What do you think?
00:42:01Ethan.
00:42:06Go slow.
00:42:12We need to separate
00:42:13personal relationships
00:42:14from business.
00:42:15She is not a personal variable.
00:42:17She is part of the decision.
00:42:22Last time I was here,
00:42:24everyone was guessing
00:42:25who I was.
00:42:26This time,
00:42:27all they see
00:42:28is confirmation.
00:42:29Lena.
00:42:36You work into you.
00:42:37You're Trey Kless.
00:42:38Well,
00:42:39hi-fi Monia.
00:42:39I don't know Hugh.
00:42:40That's seven in.
00:42:41Why didn't you tell me
00:42:42you were coming?
00:42:43I just felt like it.
00:42:50No explanations.
00:42:51No hiding.
00:42:52This simple gesture
00:42:54was his most direct
00:42:55public announcement.
00:43:00We need to separate
00:43:01personal relationships
00:43:02from business.
00:43:03She is not a personal variable.
00:43:05She is part of the decision.
00:43:07His favoritism
00:43:09was never about
00:43:10private whispers.
00:43:11He gave me
00:43:12the highest form
00:43:13of respect,
00:43:14allowing me
00:43:15to stand right
00:43:16by his side.
00:43:19In this moment,
00:43:20it's no longer
00:43:21his battlefield alone.
00:43:22The new game
00:43:23has officially begun.
00:43:31Sir,
00:43:32we have a situation.
00:43:35Speak.
00:43:39It's Clara.
00:43:41She intercepted
00:43:42the South American project.
00:43:47Is she coming
00:43:48after you?
00:43:51It could be you too.
00:43:53Even better.
00:43:54We'll solve it together.
00:43:57Let's begin.
00:43:59In this moment,
00:44:00it's no longer
00:44:01his battlefield alone.
00:44:02The new game
00:44:03has officially begun.
00:44:05And we are
00:44:06each other's
00:44:06strongest allies.
00:44:12What you just did
00:44:13was dangerous.
00:44:16So were you.
00:44:18This is the only way
00:44:19we can save the company.
00:44:25The pressure
00:44:25is building
00:44:26faster than ever.
00:44:28I'm not here
00:44:29for company anymore.
00:44:30I'm here to join
00:44:31this high-stakes game.
00:44:32She's cutting
00:44:33our core logistics line
00:44:34in South America.
00:44:35We're going to stall.
00:44:37It's not logistics.
00:44:38She's hitting
00:44:39the junction points.
00:44:40She wants control,
00:44:42not profit.
00:44:51She's waiting
00:44:52for you to make
00:44:52a mistake.
00:44:53So,
00:44:54that's work.
00:44:56Don't move.
00:44:57Do exactly
00:44:58what she said.
00:45:05What you just did
00:45:06was dangerous.
00:45:09So were you.
00:45:12I'm no longer
00:45:14the shadow
00:45:14hiding behind him
00:45:15or the pawn
00:45:16under his control.
00:45:20In this moment,
00:45:21we are on
00:45:22the same side.
00:45:28Do you have any idea
00:45:30what you're up against?
00:45:32I do.
00:45:33But you've
00:45:34underestimated me.
00:45:36I didn't tell Ethan.
00:45:38Some battles,
00:45:39I have to initiate myself.
00:45:44Clara.
00:45:55I thought you'd
00:45:56never show up.
00:45:58You've made
00:45:58your move.
00:46:01Did he send you?
00:46:03I came on my own.
00:46:06Do you have any idea
00:46:07what you're up against?
00:46:09I do.
00:46:11But you've
00:46:11underestimated me.
00:46:14I'm not alone.
00:46:15We're not alone.
00:46:19Fine.
00:46:20Let's begin.
00:46:22This isn't a test.
00:46:23It's war.
00:46:24From this moment on,
00:46:25I'm fighting for his empire
00:46:27and my dignity.
00:46:31I'm not someone
00:46:32you need to protect.
00:46:34I'm the one
00:46:35who's going to win
00:46:36with you.
00:46:43I felt the tension
00:46:44the moment I walked in.
00:46:46He'd been waiting
00:46:46for a long time
00:46:47and clearly,
00:46:49he hadn't read
00:46:49a single word
00:46:50of those documents.
00:46:52Where were you?
00:46:53I saw someone.
00:46:56Clara.
00:46:58I'm not someone
00:46:59you need to protect.
00:47:01I'm the one
00:47:02who's going to win
00:47:03with you.
00:47:07Next time,
00:47:08take me with you.
00:47:10We'll see.
00:47:17Then win it back.
00:47:20Fine.
00:47:25Our South American nodes,
00:47:26they're locked.
00:47:33My judgment was right,
00:47:35but I underestimated
00:47:36Clara's speed.
00:47:37She didn't wait for us.
00:47:38She went straight
00:47:39for the throat.
00:47:47She's forcing our hand.
00:47:48The more we panic,
00:47:50the more she wins.
00:48:00I underestimated her.
00:48:03You weren't wrong.
00:48:04You just had bad information.
00:48:06The result is wrong,
00:48:07and I am not going to make excuses for it.
00:48:12Then win it back.
00:48:15Fine.
00:48:17I didn't back down.
00:48:20A momentary slip
00:48:21doesn't mean the end.
00:48:22Now,
00:48:23I'm starting my counterattack.
00:48:31Then let's win this together.
00:48:33Of course.
00:48:35Who proposed this strategy?
00:48:37Dined in now.
00:48:38Right.
00:48:39I did.
00:48:41Every decision
00:48:42is my responsibility.
00:48:49You didn't have to do that.
00:48:58Yes, I did.
00:49:01It was my judgment.
00:49:04You aren't behind me.
00:49:05You are beside me.
00:49:11Then let's win this together.
00:49:12Of course.
00:49:13At that moment,
00:49:14I realized he wasn't blocking the arrows
00:49:16because he thought I was weak.
00:49:17He did it because
00:49:18I've become the only
00:49:19equal existence
00:49:20in his world.
00:49:24We trap her.
00:49:26Lock her in her own game.
00:49:29I didn't rest.
00:49:30I had to re-evaluate,
00:49:32re-evaluate
00:49:32every single lead.
00:49:34Clara must have left a gap.
00:49:36The moment she moved,
00:49:38she left a trail.
00:49:48Still up?
00:49:50I found it!
00:49:51I found her weakness!
00:50:00She's locking nodes,
00:50:01but her cash flow
00:50:02can't keep up.
00:50:03She's over-leveraged.
00:50:04If we stall,
00:50:04she breaks.
00:50:12We trap her.
00:50:13Lock her in her own game.
00:50:17Do it.
00:50:31This time,
00:50:32I won't let her be faster.
00:50:34And she won't underestimate
00:50:35at you anymore.
00:50:36The tides turned
00:50:37at that moment.
00:50:38We weren't prey anymore.
00:50:39We were the hunters
00:50:40on the move.
00:50:43It's starting.
00:50:45Execute phase two.
00:50:46Now.
00:50:53Her capital chain
00:50:55is starting to fluctuate.
00:51:07It's starting.
00:51:09Execute phase two.
00:51:11Now.
00:51:22Jep's down.
00:51:23Add another layer.
00:51:24Block her escape.
00:51:25Do it.
00:51:32We're back!
00:51:34We've surpassed
00:51:35the original numbers!
00:51:47I won the first step.
00:51:49This wasn't just
00:51:49about recovering data.
00:51:50It was the first territory
00:51:52I claimed in his world
00:51:53by my own hands.
00:51:56Ethan gave the stage
00:51:58entirely to me.
00:51:59His silence
00:52:00wasn't a retreat.
00:52:01retreat.
00:52:02This time,
00:52:03there's no contempt
00:52:04in their eyes.
00:52:05I'm no longer
00:52:06the shadow
00:52:06that needs protection.
00:52:07I am standing
00:52:08at the very front.
00:52:10We've locked her in.
00:52:11Her funding
00:52:11won't last three days.
00:52:14If she continues,
00:52:16she falls first.
00:52:19He'll have
00:52:19vast times.
00:52:20And if she withdraws,
00:52:22then she loses.
00:52:25Ethan gave the stage
00:52:26entirely to me.
00:52:27His silence
00:52:28wasn't a retreat.
00:52:29It was the ultimate support.
00:52:31At this moment,
00:52:33I've finally earned
00:52:34their respect.
00:52:37You're more dangerous
00:52:38than me now.
00:52:40Are you scared?
00:52:49I've reached his height
00:52:50and it gave him
00:52:51a little scare.
00:52:52And that is the perfect
00:52:53balance in our relationship.
00:52:58At that moment,
00:52:59I realize
00:53:00she doesn't need protection.
00:53:01She's the person
00:53:02meant to stand
00:53:03in the eye of the storm
00:53:04with me.
00:53:05I won today,
00:53:06but I didn't relax.
00:53:07In this game,
00:53:08winning once
00:53:09is just the beginning.
00:53:11I'm already thinking
00:53:12about the next move.
00:53:15You were beautiful today.
00:53:18You're just
00:53:19noticing that now?
00:53:20No.
00:53:21It's just that
00:53:22I'm only admitting it now.
00:53:24In the meeting today,
00:53:26I didn't want you
00:53:27standing that far out front.
00:53:29Why?
00:53:31Because I was worried.
00:53:34Then keep up with me.
00:53:36Then keep up with me.
00:53:43At that moment,
00:53:44I realize
00:53:44she doesn't need protection.
00:53:46She's the person
00:53:46meant to stand
00:53:47in the eye of the storm
00:53:48with me.
00:53:51This isn't about
00:53:52who won
00:53:52or who surrendered.
00:53:53It's about us
00:53:54finally deciding
00:53:56to win the world
00:53:57together.
00:54:01It's not thiefed.
00:54:02It's bait.
00:54:03She wants us to see this.
00:54:05She's leading us
00:54:05to a misjudgment.
00:54:07Something's wrong.
00:54:09Our internal system
00:54:11was synchronized
00:54:13in red last night.
00:54:19Source of the authorization.
00:54:22It came from
00:54:23an internal key.
00:54:24It's not thiefed.
00:54:25It's bait.
00:54:26She wants us to see this.
00:54:28She's leading us
00:54:29to a misjudgment.
00:54:33So the real target...
00:54:34She hasn't moved yet.
00:54:40She's playing big now.
00:54:41She's trying to force us
00:54:42to lose control.
00:54:44Will you?
00:54:46No.
00:54:49Lena Vio.
00:54:51Clara is serious now.
00:54:53She doesn't just want
00:54:54our money.
00:54:55She wants my sanity.
00:54:56But I know
00:54:58the real game
00:54:59has only just begun.
00:55:04Then what's the plan?
00:55:06Let it ferment.
00:55:12The atmosphere
00:55:13has changed.
00:55:14This isn't
00:55:15professional scrutiny.
00:55:16It's something
00:55:17dirter,
00:55:17more destructive.
00:55:20There are rumors online.
00:55:22They're saying
00:55:23you're using your relationship
00:55:24to manipulate projects.
00:55:26Who leaked it?
00:55:31Suppress everything.
00:55:32Now.
00:55:35Don't.
00:55:36The more you suppress it,
00:55:37the truer it looks.
00:55:39Then what's the plan?
00:55:40Let it ferment.
00:55:43Are you sure you can
00:55:44bring this back?
00:55:45I don't fight battles
00:55:46I can't win.
00:55:47When I front...
00:55:51Clara wants to kill me
00:55:53with public opinion.
00:55:54I'll show her what it means
00:55:55to rise from the ashes.
00:55:59But when these filthy words
00:56:00target her one by one,
00:56:02I find I can't stay calm at all.
00:56:07They are attacking you.
00:56:10I know.
00:56:15This isn't a game.
00:56:23Then what do you want me to do?
00:56:31Just stand on my side.
00:56:37I'm always here.
00:56:43This was the first time
00:56:44he lost control because of me.
00:56:46Not for cold numbers.
00:56:48And I know.
00:56:49With him by my side,
00:56:50our counterattack
00:56:51has truly begun.
00:56:56If the result is a win,
00:56:57the controversy itself
00:56:59is meaningless.
00:57:00You're not ready for this.
00:57:04They want to see me
00:57:05hide behind Ethan.
00:57:06But standing here today,
00:57:08I'm telling everyone
00:57:09this battlefield belongs to me.
00:57:11I'll do it.
00:57:16I'll answer that.
00:57:19First,
00:57:20I make the decisions.
00:57:22Second,
00:57:22I take the responsibility.
00:57:25Third,
00:57:29if the result is a win,
00:57:30the controversy itself
00:57:32is meaningless.
00:57:35Check the data.
00:57:37This is the answer.
00:57:40Lena Vio.
00:57:42Controversy is never settled
00:57:44by explanations,
00:57:44but by results.
00:57:46This wave of counterattack,
00:57:48I won.
00:57:53Seal it.
00:57:54Every channel.
00:57:55Now!
00:58:01She moved.
00:58:02It's out.
00:58:04When was this from?
00:58:06That's my past
00:58:07and my only fatal flaw.
00:58:09I thought it was buried,
00:58:10but it became
00:58:11her deadliest thorn.
00:58:13Is this real?
00:58:14Yes.
00:58:16It's real.
00:58:23Seal it.
00:58:24Every channel.
00:58:25Now!
00:58:26We can't seal it.
00:58:28If she's letting this out,
00:58:30she's prepared suppression.
00:58:33You are not alone in this.
00:58:37This time,
00:58:38I must stand out first.
00:58:40I must tear this contract apart
00:58:41with my own hands.
00:58:43For him,
00:58:44and for the reborn version of myself.
00:58:48I don't care about your past.
00:58:50I only care about now.
00:58:51For three years,
00:58:52I've never missed a call
00:58:54that mattered to the business.
00:58:55But tonight,
00:58:56I don't care about the numbers.
00:58:57I only care about the person
00:58:59they're trying to destroy
00:59:00with those filthy words.
00:59:01It started.
00:59:05You don't respond.
00:59:06I'll handle this.
00:59:09I don't care about your past.
00:59:11I only care about now.
00:59:16Then you have to face the consequences.
00:59:20I've already made my choice.
00:59:24This was the first time
00:59:25I moved toward him
00:59:26in the middle of a storm.
00:59:28At this moment,
00:59:29it's not about protection.
00:59:30It's two souls
00:59:32deciding to survive
00:59:33this wreckage together.
00:59:36I'm not here to defend myself.
00:59:38I'm just telling the whole truth.
00:59:43Public relations can't fix human nature.
00:59:46They want to see me craft a lie.
00:59:48But I'm only giving them the truth.
00:59:50I'm here to answer.
00:59:52That agreement is real.
00:59:54Three years ago,
00:59:56I signed it.
00:59:58Because back then,
00:59:59I had no choice.
01:00:01What I need to do
01:00:02is sign here.
01:00:04What's this?
01:00:05Just some standard legal jargon.
01:00:08I wasn't the one profiting.
01:00:09I was being used.
01:00:11And I have the evidence.
01:00:13You don't need to read it.
01:00:18I'm not here to defend myself.
01:00:20I'm just telling the whole truth.
01:00:27In that moment,
01:00:29I stopped waiting for judgment
01:00:30and took the initiative back
01:00:32from Clara's hands.
01:00:35This isn't even desperation yet.
01:00:38These are her last few cards.
01:00:40You know the truth.
01:00:45I set a three-year game
01:00:47torn down by her simple words.
01:00:50It's impossible.
01:00:53She shouldn't have had the courage
01:00:54to admit it.
01:01:00Release the second one.
01:01:02Now.
01:01:09She's getting desperate.
01:01:14This isn't even desperation yet.
01:01:16These are her last few cards.
01:01:27Then let her play them all.
01:01:35You shouldn't have survived until now.
01:01:38She's starting to lose it.
01:01:39That was the first time
01:01:40she spoke with emotion.
01:01:42And I know a desperate opponent
01:01:43is close to total collapse.
01:01:48Not just the game,
01:01:49but my name has become
01:01:51a footnote to her victory.
01:01:53The second allegation.
01:01:55Let's look at the facts.
01:01:58It's hergy,
01:01:58rebound and more
01:01:59deprae stations of Haverk fast.
01:02:06What you saw before
01:02:07was a fragment.
01:02:09But to serve you line
01:02:10to the countrids of aircraft
01:02:11and have independent meaning
01:02:13than your glycense.
01:02:15The true controller
01:02:16of these funds,
01:02:18Clara.
01:02:19This is the final answer.
01:02:21Not just the game,
01:02:23but my name has become
01:02:24a footnote to her victory.
01:02:27This isn't just a counterattack.
01:02:30It's a public execution.
01:02:36Fine.
01:02:37Then let's end this.
01:02:39At this moment,
01:02:40the game is truly over.
01:02:41Clara lost more than
01:02:42just a project.
01:02:43She lost her dignity
01:02:44as the master of the board.
01:02:48You will be held liable
01:02:50for the funding issues.
01:02:53The board has made its decision.
01:02:58I know.
01:03:00I've been waiting for you.
01:03:02All your authorities
01:03:04are suspended.
01:03:06An investigation
01:03:07has been launched.
01:03:08You will be held liable
01:03:10for the funding issues.
01:03:16Finally.
01:03:19She was one step faster than me.
01:03:22Book me a flight.
01:03:24Where to?
01:03:25Somewhere far away.
01:03:27She didn't lose to me.
01:03:29She lost to a rhythm
01:03:30that was already broken.
01:03:32Her era is over.
01:03:34Ours has just begun.
01:03:38So, who will take charge
01:03:40of the South American sector
01:03:42moving forward?
01:03:43Me.
01:03:44This time,
01:03:45there's no scent of blood
01:03:46in the air.
01:03:47These numbers aren't my shield.
01:03:49They're the throne.
01:03:52So, who will take charge
01:03:54of the South American sector
01:03:55moving forward?
01:04:00Me.
01:04:09You're the center
01:04:10of this place now.
01:04:14No.
01:04:16I'm my own.
01:04:22I know.
01:04:24This isn't the end.
01:04:26No contracts.
01:04:27No dependency.
01:04:29Only control reclaimed
01:04:30by my own hands.
01:04:32Here,
01:04:32I am finally my own.
01:04:37Then you'll be chasing
01:04:39for a long time.
01:04:40I have time.
01:04:43Lena,
01:04:44VO,
01:04:45everything is back
01:04:46to where it started.
01:04:48But everything has changed.
01:04:51Without those chaotic files,
01:04:53I can finally be
01:04:54a quiet version
01:04:55of myself.
01:05:04Remember the beginning?
01:05:07The contract.
01:05:09Right.
01:05:10We wrote everything down
01:05:11back then.
01:05:13We don't need it anymore.
01:05:16Lena,
01:05:17Kalmanis.
01:05:22Why?
01:05:23Because I won't use terms
01:05:25to keep you.
01:05:29And if I leave,
01:05:34I'll chase you.
01:05:42Then you'll be chasing
01:05:43for a long time.
01:05:45I have time.
01:05:49No contracts.
01:05:50No terms.
01:05:51Only us.
01:05:52In this night
01:05:53where nothing needs
01:05:54to be proven,
01:05:55choosing each other.
01:05:56We'll be chasing each other.
01:05:57We'll be chasing each other.
01:05:57We'll be chasing each other.
01:05:58We'll be chasing each other.
01:05:58We'll be chasing each other.
