00:02what are your conditions marry me the doctor said i have to decide today but i've gone through my
00:08entire contacts and i can't borrow a dime to save my mom am i really out of options
00:21the surgery can be arranged right now
00:25what are your conditions marry me you've got the wrong person
00:33no you need the money and i need a wife the third rule is void
00:44go in i'm not here to put on an act it started the moment you signed
00:53good evening mrs blake
01:00those words felt more real and piercing than the cold contract itself
01:06rules i knew it was all an act but coming from him those words sounded way too real
01:16how did ethan tie the knot
01:21i clearly didn't belong here those stairs were suffocating
01:33no warnings no questions
01:37but in what exactly do you want you three days here and zero sense of belonging is this really
01:45my life now
01:52can't sleep still getting used to it
02:01what exactly do you want
02:04you
02:09lena i wanted to fight back but no words came out
02:12because i knew he was dead serious
02:15in that split second i didn't pull away i didn't really want him to let go
02:22i still haven't adapted to the pace here let alone this man's constant overbearing presence
02:39steady
02:46you can let go now
02:48are you sure
02:49but because i was actually getting used to him it was too quiet here i had to find something to
02:56do
02:56just to ignore the uneasiness in my chest
03:13like this
03:23why do you keep staring at the pan
03:26i stared at the pan but saw absolutely nothing
03:45it was like this man's constant overbearing at me
03:46confirming
03:48confirming what
03:52if you're going to run away
03:55you overestimate me
04:02but in that split second i knew
04:05every boundary was crumbling
04:10i just got out of the shower when i frozen
04:13ethan
04:14ethan
04:14was in my room
04:19this is my room
04:20the atmosphere shifted
04:22i just wanted to get past him to keep my distance
04:38i didn't answer
04:39but in that moment i suddenly realized
04:42he cares
04:43the dining room was still quiet
04:46but this quiet felt different from the past few days
04:52i could feel it
04:53ethan's gaze was still on me
05:01what exactly are you looking at
05:04you
05:06what's so interesting about me
05:10seeing when you'll leave
05:14he touched you
05:17are you spying on me
05:19i'm protecting you
05:21this was my first time leaving the estate on my own
05:25i needed some air
05:27and i needed to find a little piece of the me i used to be
05:31lena
05:33daniel
05:38you look even more beautiful than before
05:44he was already gone
05:45but that look he gave me before he left
05:48i couldn't read it
05:49then try it
05:55what if i see daniel again
06:00what are you trying to do
06:03didn't you say you hate uncertainty
06:05here's one for you
06:09you want to test me
06:10yes
06:20are you sure you know what game you're playing
06:25don't test me again
06:26i needed to cool down
06:29but standing in the pouring rain
06:30it only became clearer
06:32i couldn't calm down at all
06:34what are you betting on
06:35betting on whether you'll lose control
06:42you win
06:45if i just moved an inch it would all be over
06:48but i didn't step back
06:49didn't even close my eyes
06:52in that moment i had already made my choice
06:58he threw the question right back at me
07:00my heartbeat was completely erratic
07:03the sun was bright the next morning
07:06everything seemed way too normal
07:07so normal that
07:09it was as if that out of control kiss last night never even happened
07:19are you just going to pretend it didn't happen
07:22what happened
07:27the words got caught in my throat
07:30because i suddenly realized i didn't know how to define last night
07:34you care that's enough for me
07:39i couldn't fight back because i really did care that he was watching me
07:43his fear has been totally off lately
07:45every time he gets close he stops right at the edge
07:50what frustrates me even more is
07:53i'm actually waiting for him to cross it
08:01on the screens
08:03it was all me
08:05every single frame
08:08do you still want to test me
08:10i knew he was behind me the moment the door opened
08:13he didn't press close but his presence
08:16was stronger than any actual touch
08:20what do you want to do now
08:23what do you think
08:27i don't want to guess
08:37he paused for less than a second
08:40his hand
08:41loosened just a fraction
08:43everything here was flawlessly exquisite
08:46but the moment i stood there i knew with absolute certainty
08:50i didn't belong in this world
08:54who is she
08:55when did ethan get married she doesn't look like she's from our circle
08:58i hated this feeling
09:00being judged defined and forced into a position where i clearly didn't belong
09:12i couldn't hear what she said but what stung more than any words was
09:17ethan didn't pull away
09:20you really got married
09:24when did you get back
09:27yesterday
09:29just in time for this
09:33hello
09:37lena
09:41he's changed quite a bit
09:45i knew deep down that wasn't me being calm it was a decision
09:50the car ride back was dead quiet
09:52i waited the whole way for even a single word of explanation
09:57but he said absolutely nothing
10:02i let out a soft laugh but that tiny sound only ended up piercing my own heart
10:10lena
10:10what is it
10:14what are you thinking about
10:19in that moment my dis
10:20you can ask
10:26if i ask will you tell me

10:55you can ask
10:58no
10:59i'm just following our rules
11:04over the next few days i stopped waiting for him
11:07i stopped lingering in the living room
11:09i shifted my focus back to myself instead of this absurd relationship
11:23you've been very busy lately
11:26it's all right
11:28lena
11:30what is it

12:05i'm done waiting for things you can't give
12:08i'm giving you your final time
12:10the morning sun was gentle
12:11and everything seemed exactly as usual
12:14but i knew deep down
12:16after last night
12:19everything had already changed
12:21the morning sun

13:11then in what capacity are you saying this
13:16you've already lost control
13:20am i right to assume
13:22you're free now
13:23i knew exactly what he meant
13:25by that
13:26but i hadn't given him
13:27an answer yet
13:34go back
13:35i'm not done here
13:41maybe i should just

13:47i don't want you with anyone else
13:49then you need to try harder
13:54i won today's battle
13:56but i also knew this was far from over
14:04go back
14:06why
14:11can't say it
14:12do you really have to do this
14:16you started this
14:18come in
14:20all right
14:21it was the first time he accepted my rules
14:25returning to the estate the next day everything seemed back to normal
14:30but the dynamic between us had completely changed
14:35why are you just standing there
14:41about what you said yesterday
14:43i heard it
14:45it's valid
14:46temporarily
14:48temporarily
14:50you're still on probation
14:52all right
14:53are you still trying to hide now
14:56i couldn't focus on work at all
14:57because from the moment i sat down
15:00i knew
15:02he had been watching me
15:04are you that free
15:06you didn't go out today
15:09are you watching me
15:17i'm looking at you
15:19seen enough
15:21not yet
15:33if the outcome is a win
15:35does the process even matter
15:43where are we going
15:44to meet some people
15:46you are my wife now
15:50mr blake
15:54i didn't step back this time
15:56since he gave me this title
15:58i was going to own it
16:02your recent decisions are far too risky
16:11i won't be back for dinner today
16:24i don't know exactly what it is
16:28but i know for sure
16:30he's hiding something from me
16:37i'll handle it
16:39i see
16:40so i'm just another part of what needs to be handled
16:44i came back earlier than usual without telling him
16:47the moment i opened the door i knew something was off
16:58you shouldn't have let her get involved
17:00i'll handle it
17:01you used to say that too
17:03and the result
17:10you're back
17:12you chose to keep me in the dark
17:14so now there's absolutely no need to make me understand
17:17the morning sun was beautiful
17:19everything seemed completely normal but between us
17:24everything was entirely different now
17:31do you have something to say
17:36last night
17:37you don't need to explain
17:41you should listen to me
17:44whatever you say
17:45it's all the same
17:47because you already made your choice
17:49where are you going
17:51isn't it obvious
17:52i didn't take much
17:54but everything was packed neatly
17:56this wasn't an impulse
17:57it was a decision
17:58every corner of this room used to hold my emotions
18:01but now
18:03they've all faded away
18:13where are you going
18:14isn't it obvious
18:16you can't leave
18:20you're doing it again
18:23i can explain
18:25where is she
18:28she didn't show up today sir
18:31this was the first time i've looked at her name and had absolutely no idea what to say
18:51i'm not ignoring his calls to be petty
18:54i just need space to confirm one thing
18:56that wasn't just anger
18:58it was a final conclusion
19:00i recovered quickly as if nothing had happened
19:03but only i know
19:04i'm using logic to suppress every emotion
19:13found you
19:16what are you doing here
19:18come back with me
19:22you still don't know how to talk do you
19:26then what do you want to hear
19:27i'm not going back
19:28why you don't want to
19:30i don't have to explain myself self to you
19:32his first time admitting he was wrong
19:34no excuses no conditions
19:42this was the first time i shut that world out completely
19:46because right now i only belong in front of this door
19:49i knew he was still there
19:50i'm waiting for him to change
19:52lena this time i was wrong
19:58his first time admitting he was wrong
20:01no excuses no conditions just the truth
20:05i was wrong
20:07i shouldn't have kept secrets and i shouldn't have excluded you
20:13he said everything he needs to say
20:15the rest is in my hands
20:17i'm not hesitating
20:19i'm judging
20:21judging if the man in front of me has truly changed
20:25what you just said say it again
20:29i was wrong
20:31i shouldn't have kept secrets and i shouldn't have excluded you
20:35and what about the future
20:39from now on there's no more handling things
20:41i will tell you
20:43then look at the results
20:45if we win
20:46do your questions even matter
20:51three days later the same building
20:55the same building
20:57this time no one led me in
20:59i pushed open these doors myself
21:04personal relationships are clouding our decisions mr blake
21:07this is unacceptable
21:14then look at the results
21:15if we win
21:16do your questions even matter
21:19and this is
21:21my choice
21:26nervous
21:31little
21:31little
21:32i'm here
21:42and this is
21:46my choice
21:50ethan
21:55go slow
21:57you've been standing there for three minutes
22:00i'm judging
22:03judging what
22:05whether this bed is safe enough
22:07it was a contract before
22:09it isn't now
22:12you're worried about that now
22:14so
22:15are you afraid of me
22:21what do you think
22:25we need to separate personal relationships from business
22:28she is not a personal variable
22:30she is part of the decision
22:36last time i was here everyone was guessing who i was
22:39this time
22:40all they see is confirmation
22:42lena
22:49you work in to you
22:50your tray glass
22:51will high five on you
22:52i don't know hugh that's seven in
22:54in this moment
22:55it's no longer his battlefield alone
22:58the new game has officially begun
23:07sir
23:07we have a situation
23:11speak
23:15it's clara
23:16she intercepted the south american project
23:22is she coming after you
23:27it could be you too
23:28what you just did
23:30was dangerous
23:32so were you
23:34this is the only way we can save the company
23:41the pressure is building faster than ever
23:44i'm not here for company anymore
23:46i'm here to join this high stakes game
23:48she's cutting our core logistics line in south america we're going to stall
23:53it's not logistics
23:54she's hitting the junction points
23:57she wants control not profit
24:01do you have any idea what you're up against
24:04i do
24:06but you've underestimated me
24:09i didn't tell ethan
24:10some battles i have to initiate myself
24:17clara
24:27i thought you'd never show up
24:30you've made your move
24:33i'm not someone you need to protect
24:36i'm the one who's going to win with you
24:45i felt the tension the moment i walked in
24:47he'd been waiting for a long time
24:49and clearly he hadn't read a single word of those documents
24:53where were you
24:54i saw someone
24:58clara
25:00i'm not someone you need to protect
25:04then win it back
25:07fine
25:11our south american nodes they're locked
25:19my judgment was right but i underestimated clara's speed
25:23she didn't wait for us she went straight for the throat
25:33she's forcing our hand
25:35the more we panic the more she wins
25:42then let's win this together
25:43of course
25:45who proposed this strategy
25:47dineda now
25:48right
25:49i did
25:51every decision is my responsibility
26:00you didn't have to do that
26:08yes i did
26:10we trap her
26:12lock her in her own game
26:15i didn't rest
26:16i had to reevaluate three evaluate every single lead
26:20clara must have left a gap
26:22the moment she moved
26:23left she left a trail
26:33still up
26:36i found it
26:37i found her weakness
26:44it's starting
26:46execute phase two
26:48her capital chain is starting to fluctuate
27:08it's starting
27:11it's starting
27:11execute phase two
27:12now
27:15ethan gave the stage entirely to me
27:17his silence wasn't a retreat
27:20this time
27:21this time there's no contempt in their eyes
27:23i'm no longer the shadow that needs protection
27:26i am standing at the very front
27:28we've locked her in
27:29her funding won't last three days
27:32if she continues
27:35she falls first
27:37he'll has vast times
27:38and if she withdraws
27:40then she loses
27:43ethan gave the stage entirely to me
27:46at that moment i realize she doesn't need protection
27:49she's the person meant to stand in the eye of the storm with me
27:53i won today but i didn't relax
27:55in this game winning once is just the beginning
27:59i'm already thinking about the next move
28:04you were beautiful today
28:06you're just noticing that now
28:09no
28:10it's just that i'm only admitting it now
28:12in the meeting today
28:14i i didn't want you standing that far out front
28:17it's not thiefed
28:18it's fate
28:19she wants us to see this
28:21she's leading us to a misjudgment
28:23something's wrong
28:26our internal system was
28:29synchronized in red last night
28:36source of the authorization
28:38it came from an internal key
28:40it's not thiefed
28:41it's bait
28:42she wants us to see this
28:44she's leading us to a misjudgment
28:49so the real target
28:51she hasn't moved yet
28:53then what's the plan
28:54let it ferment
29:00the atmosphere has changed
29:02this isn't professional scrutiny
29:04it's something dirter
29:05more destructive
29:08there are rumors online
29:10they're saying you're using your relationship to manipulate projects
29:14you leaked it
29:19suppress everything
29:20now
29:23don't
29:24the more you suppress it the truer it looks
29:26but when these filthy words target her one by one
29:30i find i can't stay calm at all
29:34they are attacking you
29:38i know
29:42this isn't a game
29:50then what do you want me to do
29:57if the result is a win
29:59the controversy itself is meaningless
30:01you're not ready for this
30:06they want to see me hide behind ethan
30:08but standing here today i'm telling everyone
30:10this battlefield belongs to me
30:13i'll do it
30:18i'll answer that
30:20first
30:21first i make the decisions
30:23second i take the responsibility
30:26third
30:30if the result is a win
30:31the controversy itself is meaningless
30:35steal it every channel now
30:43she moved it's out
30:47when was this from
30:48that's my past
30:49and my only fatal flaw
30:51i thought it was buried
30:52but it became her deadliest thorn
30:55is this real
30:57yes
30:58it's real
31:05seal it
31:06i don't care about your past
31:07i only care about now
31:09for three years
31:10i've never missed a call that mattered to the business
31:13but tonight
31:13i don't care about the numbers
31:15i only care about the person they're trying to destroy
31:18with those filthy words
31:19it started
31:23you don't respond
31:24i'll handle this
31:27i don't care about your past
31:29i only care about now
31:34then you have to face the consequences
31:37i'm not here to defend myself
31:39i'm just telling the whole truth
32:09public relations can't fix human nature
32:11it's being used
32:11this isn't even desperation yet
32:15these are her last few cards
32:16you know the truth
32:21i set a three-year game
32:23torn down by her simple words
32:27it's impossible
32:29she shouldn't have had the courage to admit it
32:36release the second one
32:45she's getting desperate
32:48not just the game
32:49but my name has become a footnote to her victory
32:53the second allegation
32:54let's look at the facts
32:57it's hergie
32:58rebound and more depreciations of the aircraft
33:05what you saw before was a fragment
33:08the disservey line to the countries of aircraft
33:11aircraft
33:11and have independent meaning than your license
33:14the true controller of these funds
33:17clara
33:19this is the final answer
33:20you will be held liable
33:22for the funding issues
33:25the board has made its decision
33:30i know
33:32i've been waiting for you
33:34all your authorities are suspended
33:37an investigation has been launched
33:41you will be held liable
33:42for the funding issues
33:48finally
33:51she was one step faster than me
