00:00:00At least, at least use protection.
00:00:04I've always wondered if a woman must give her first time to someone she loves.
00:00:08But when that sharp pain hit, I knew my chance was gone forever.
00:00:11That stranger forced himself on me.
00:00:13I cried so hard I couldn't see clearly.
00:00:16I wanted to run, but I couldn't move, trapped in despair.
00:00:19Knowing there was no escape, I bit my lip to hide my fear and begged him in a dry voice.
00:00:24The man on top of me didn't say a word, became more violent, and I finally blacked out.
00:00:30It wasn't a nightmare.
00:00:31I woke up alone, the pain in my body telling me everything was real.
00:00:37I realized then that the business dinner was a trap.
00:00:40I was getting drunk and sent here to be taken advantage of.
00:00:42Julian, please. They drugged me. Someone is in my room.
00:00:46I'm busy. Call the cops.
00:00:48He crushed every last bit of love I had for him with those few words.
00:00:53Then, I saw it.
00:00:55Julian has come home.
00:00:56I took a deep breath, preparing to confront him.
00:01:01What is it?
00:01:05Your home.
00:01:07You look like you've been dragged through a hedge. What do you want?
00:01:10I wanted my husband.
00:01:12Last night, I needed my husband.
00:01:15I told you I was busy. Don't be so dramatic.
00:01:19I saved your father's life.
00:01:21And for that, my one wish was to marry you.
00:01:24A wish you've regretted every day since, I'm sure.
00:01:26You were an opportunist, Kathleen. Nothing more.
00:01:29You wanted to be queen.
00:01:30Stop standing there.
00:01:32Go make breakfast. I'm heading out in half an hour.
00:01:34Julian.
00:01:36What now?
00:01:37Let's get a divorce.
00:01:41A business card on the floor.
00:01:43It was from Nash Group.
00:01:45Julian's company.
00:01:48The morning light felt cold.
00:01:50His smile was always like this mocking, distant.
00:01:52As if I were nothing but a shadow in his life.
00:01:55Last night.
00:01:56How could he speak of it so casually?
00:01:58As if my pain was nothing more than a trivial matter.
00:02:02This is about last night, isn't it?
00:02:05You're upset I didn't come running when you called?
00:02:08Elaine called earlier.
00:02:10She said the Lewis Group deal went through.
00:02:12You'll get your bonus.
00:02:14Don't worry.
00:02:15Eloise, his beloved sister, got me drunk at dinner.
00:02:18That night changed everything.
00:02:20To him, it was nothing.
00:02:22You used a bone marrow donation to push your way into this marriage three years ago.
00:02:27So did you really believe you were so pure and innocent?
00:02:33Don't bother making breakfast.
00:02:34Just get lunch ready and deliver it to my office.
00:02:39Let's just cut to the chase.
00:02:44I'm sure you know what happened to me last night.
00:02:48I want a divorce.
00:02:59He didn't even notice I wasn't the one who made his lunch.
00:03:02After three years of my cooking, nothing else tasted right to him anymore.
00:03:22Three years of marriage ended with a single stroke of the pen.
00:03:26Just like that.
00:03:31Send them to her.
00:03:42Find out who arranged for her to be at that hotel last night.
00:03:53I spent nearly the entire day at the hospital.
00:03:56My twin brother, Austin, had been born with a neurological disorder.
00:04:06Life had been good until I turned 18.
00:04:09That's when everything shattered.
00:04:13The back of my father being escorted to prison.
00:04:16My mother huddled in the corner.
00:04:18The empty factory after the collapse of our family business.
00:04:21And the exhaustion from working at a convenience store late at night.
00:04:29After getting married to Julian, for a moment, I thought I'd found someone who could save me.
00:04:34But even that hope slipped away.
00:04:45It's getting late.
00:04:51I won't be going back.
00:04:53I'm divorcing him.
00:04:55Don't give him any excuse to be upset.
00:04:58People like us can't expect the Nash's to treat us as equals.
00:05:03Who told you what happened?
00:05:07I failed you.
00:05:09I couldn't protect you.
00:05:12If you walk away from Julian now, what happens to me?
00:05:17To Austin?
00:05:19Mom, if Julian ever intended to help, don't you think he would have done something by now?
00:05:34The divorce agreement has been signed by Mr. Nash.
00:05:37He has signed the divorce agreement.
00:05:41He has signed the divorce agreement.
00:05:59Julian, calm down.
00:06:01You'll wear yourself out like this.
00:06:03Why are you here?
00:06:04I heard about your argument with Catherine.
00:06:06Don't tell me you're actually getting divorced.
00:06:08Who said that to you?
00:06:15But she cheated on you, Julian.
00:06:18Stay out of things like this.
00:06:20Were you right there, at the bed, watching them?
00:06:22I seriously don't get why you kept her around.
00:06:25That's enough.
00:06:26Let my driver take you home.
00:06:29Kacen, come in.
00:06:31Kacen, you know I matter more than some people.
00:06:33Just don't say anything that'll upset my brother, okay?
00:06:36Of course, Miss Nash.
00:06:44The hotel footage had already been erased.
00:06:47Nothing was caught on camera.
00:06:48The so-called truth was merely the version those in power wanted you to see.
00:06:55The divorce was still processing, but I had finally started living for myself.
00:07:06He remained the man who knew how to indulge.
00:07:10I was simply the past he wished to forget.
00:07:17Did something happen?
00:07:19Your mother came by today, had an argument, and got so upset that she fainted.
00:07:27In that moment, I knew I had to return, even though no one there would welcome me.
00:07:33I thought leaving here meant a fresh start.
00:07:36Fate had other plans.
00:07:47Two weeks apart, yet his gaze felt sharper than ever.
00:07:54Where's my mom?
00:07:57The scorching sun didn't care about her tears.
00:08:06She came with gifts, but Eloise wouldn't let her through.
00:08:11It was never about me.
00:08:13It was about money and power.
00:08:21Kathy, I only did it because I care.
00:08:25Leaving already?
00:08:26Don't stop the show now.
00:08:28My dad's a softie.
00:08:30He falls for pity parties.
00:08:35Tell me something.
00:08:36What exactly did I do to you?
00:08:39Do you have some kind of hidden agenda or what?
00:08:44She threatened my darkest secret, so I gave her a taste of her own medicine.
00:09:04How dare you hurt her?
00:09:08She worked with Louis Group and trapped me for a $50 million deal.
00:09:13So tell me, Julian, if your wife is worth $50 million, how much is your sister worth?
00:09:27The moment I saw the storm gathering in his eyes, I knew everything had changed.
00:09:31I didn't do anything to you, Catherine.
00:09:34You went to that dinner on your own.
00:09:36You chose to drink.
00:09:38For the first time, I wasn't afraid to show my teeth.
00:09:43If you're so innocent, let's get the cops involved.
00:09:47Let them sort out the truth.
00:09:53Go get your face looked at first.
00:09:57Something inside me was dying.
00:09:59Not my anger, my hope.
00:10:01The last shred of believing he might ever see me.
00:10:05Julian, I'm to blame.
00:10:07I didn't teach my daughter right.
00:10:09If you're upset, be upset with me.
00:10:12Come upstairs.
00:10:14My dad wants to see you.
00:10:15We're getting divorced.
00:10:16What's the point in pretending anymore?
00:10:19The divorce hasn't been finalized.
00:10:21Whether you really mean it or not, you're still expected to follow through.
00:10:29It's just for show.
00:10:31Don't read too much into it.
00:10:32Don't say a single word about what happened with Lewis Group's CEO.
00:10:35You know who will suffer if this gets out.
00:10:38Relax.
00:10:39I'm not about to run to your dad and spill everything.
00:10:41It was just one night, right?
00:10:44I got paid, had my fun, no big deal.
00:10:50Congratulations.
00:10:51After three years of abstinence, you finally got laid.
00:10:54He called that nightmare fun, then dragged me to see his father, Lawrence.
00:10:57Well, when are you giving me a grandchild?
00:11:00I won't be around forever.
00:11:04Dad, it's not something we can rush.
00:11:06Three years and still nothing?
00:11:07Julian, just be straight with me.
00:11:09Are you having trouble in that area?
00:11:12I'm 26.
00:11:13Do you seriously think that's a possibility?
00:11:17Kathy, is it true?
00:11:20After three years of his coldness, I saw my chance to strike back.
00:11:24Catherine, you'd better think before you speak.
00:11:28Julian has a few concerns, but I believe he's seeking help.
00:11:34Julian, when the hell did this happen?
00:11:37You were so smart before.
00:11:39You really believe the nonsense that falls out of her mouth?
00:11:42Did you lose your sense?
00:11:43She's your wife.
00:11:45She sleeps beside you every night.
00:11:47If anyone knows your body, it's her.
00:11:52Don't stress, father.
00:11:53With how far medicine has come, there's nothing that can't be dealt with.
00:11:57But he's only in his 20s.
00:11:59And if it came to that, IVF is a completely normal option now.
00:12:04My nonchalant smile sliced right through his pride.
00:12:08Dad, there is nothing wrong with me.
00:12:12If that's true, show me.
00:12:18Show you?
00:12:20What, am I supposed to get an erection right here in front of you?
00:12:27I want a grandson in my arms before the end of the year.
00:12:31I almost dropped the cup in my hand, frozen in place.
00:12:34Julian saw my shock, but didn't help me at all.
00:12:36Want to prove your innocence?
00:12:37Clean up this mess yourself.
00:12:40Fine.
00:12:41Casey, make me proud.
00:12:43I knew I was cornered no matter what I said, so I just nodded tightly to get through the moment.
00:12:48Lawrence looked relieved and tired, then went back to his room.
00:12:51You care that I've never touched you, don't you?
00:12:54There has been no intimacy between us since we got married.
00:12:57And I'm telling the truth.
00:13:00So you're saying I'm incapable?
00:13:01How would I owe?
00:13:02Why don't you ask your mistress to explain it clearly to your father?
00:13:06Three years.
00:13:07Your mouth has jonly stirreded meek.
00:13:09Deleurin can't yans.
00:13:11Tell him sooner rather than later.
00:13:12You just agreed with your own words.
00:13:14Have seconds now?
00:13:15You're far more skillful at scheming than your mother.
00:13:18You really know how to use yourself to manipulate people.
00:13:22Who decides whether I can get pregnant or not if not you?
00:13:25When have I ever begged you to make me pregnant?
00:13:30Julian, leaving so soon?
00:13:32Elise is badly injured.
00:13:33I just got back from the hospital.
00:13:36Please forgive me for being neglectful.
00:13:37Stay in the hospital and rest properly if she's badly hurt.
00:13:40Stop causing trouble all the time.
00:13:41Okay.
00:13:44I know she never likes me.
00:13:48In her eyes, I had no support and Julian had turned his back on me.
00:13:52Don't let Julian fool me.
00:13:54Find reliable people to keep an eye on them.
00:13:56I must have a grandson.
00:13:58Understood.
00:14:00I never wanted this marriage to begin with.
00:14:07Lawrence, isn't it too much for us to meddle in such a private matter?
00:14:10I know this isn't exactly above board, but that boy left me no choice.
00:14:15Do as I say.
00:14:17The sooner we settle this, the better.
00:14:19Mom!
00:14:20If that scheming bitch gets pregnant with Julian's child, what will happen to Louisa?
00:14:24She's the one who should marry my brother!
00:14:25You're just using her as an excuse to get close to her brother.
00:14:28Marrying into the right family will benefit you two!
00:14:31Don't worry.
00:14:32Everything is under my control.
00:14:34I never expected my divorce to become so complicated.
00:14:37Ever since I moved into Nash Manor, Austin's health has been deteriorating day by day.
00:14:42I was preparing a nutritious meal for Lawrence when Camille walked in.
00:14:45Mr. Nash is truly fortunate to have a thoughtful wife like you.
00:14:49The elder Mr. Nash said everything is fine.
00:14:52You just need to spend more time building a bond with Mr. Nash.
00:14:56She's a spy Lawrence sent to keep an eye on me.
00:14:58We haven't had a meal together since signing the divorce papers.
00:15:02Just as I was about to make up an excuse, Julian arrived.
00:15:05This is for Lawrence.
00:15:06If you're hungry, ask the nanny to make something for you.
00:15:09Catherine.
00:15:10Do you want some soup?
00:15:11Without waiting for his reply, I poured the soup down the drain.
00:15:15Alright.
00:15:16There's nothing left now.
00:15:17Julian looked angry but said nothing.
00:15:19I felt as if I were locked in a cage.
00:15:21I didn't sleep that night and quietly went to the study to talk to him.
00:15:25I can handle your father, but we need a reasonable excuse.
00:15:30Bring your lover back.
00:15:32Say you've fallen for someone else.
00:15:34I'm willing to step aside.
00:15:38So if my dad gets too worked up and something happens to him, it's all on me now?
00:15:44That's a convenient little setup you've got there.
00:15:46He laughed that chilling humorless laugh that sent ice down my spine.
00:15:49Even if you manage to calm him down after telling him the truth, does that mean the drama ends there?
00:15:53Your mom, your brother, your chailed dad, will they all magically disappear from my family's radar?
00:15:57I never dragged you into any of their problems.
00:15:59True, you didn't come asking for handouts.
00:16:01But do you even know what kind of favors she's been cashing in?
00:16:03Alright then.
00:16:04Show me what you've got.
00:16:06Or skip the effort.
00:16:07Just drug me.
00:16:08I'll even have a few bottles delivered.
00:16:19Aren't the two of you heading to bed soon?
00:16:24I thought he married me for love.
00:16:26It was always just a transaction.
00:16:33That business card.
00:16:34That night, that man.
00:16:35I kept it like my last trump card.
00:16:48Sir, I need to tell you something.
00:16:50Go on.
00:17:00It's about your wife.
00:17:01She messaged me last night.
00:17:05Hi.
00:17:06Are you free to sleep with me?
00:17:10Sir, perhaps someone hacked your wife's number?
00:17:12As a prank to drive a wedge accusations?
00:17:15If it was a hack, the dark circles under your eyes tell me you'd have found the culprit last night.
00:17:19I checked.
00:17:20The message came from inside the villa.
00:17:22Get a new phone later.
00:17:23Charge it to the company.
00:17:25Sir, could she just be venting about that night?
00:17:31Unbelievable.
00:17:32She's scheming to get pregnant on the sly.
00:17:35Get a new SIM card and hand over your current number.
00:17:40Sir, that number is connected to...
00:17:41Now.
00:17:44Got it, sir.
00:17:47And the investigation I ordered?
00:17:49Or are you getting paid a million dollars to cozy up to Eloase?
00:17:53Sir, please.
00:17:54Let me explain.
00:17:57I spent the day trying to see my father, but they wouldn't let me in.
00:18:00When I got home, the housekeeper met me at the door.
00:18:03Mrs. Nash.
00:18:04Mr. Nash asked if you could bring some food to the study.
00:18:07He's still waiting.
00:18:08He didn't touch dinner at all?
00:18:09Only a few sips of soup.
00:18:11He asked where you were.
00:18:16Where's Catherine?
00:18:17She went to the hospital, sir.
00:18:22Mrs. Nash said these were your favorites, so...
00:18:24I followed her instructions.
00:18:27She told you that?
00:18:30All my emotions are settling down at this moment.
00:18:37I am not his servant.
00:18:39Not anymore.
00:18:51What on earth are you doing here?
00:18:56This is my house.
00:18:57Why couldn't I be here?
00:19:01We've always kept to separate rooms.
00:19:03What changed tonight?
00:19:07The housekeeper's posted up outside.
00:19:09You can sneak back to your room once she's asleep.
00:19:13Fine.
00:19:14You figure out how to slip away.
00:19:16Before I could reply, he stripped off his shirt.
00:19:19I instinctively pulled the blanket tighter around myself.
00:19:22I'm just going for a shower.
00:19:24What did you think I was going to do?
00:19:25It's the dead of night.
00:19:26A man and a woman alone.
00:19:28How am I supposed to know what you're planning?
00:19:30Only if I'd lost my mind would I ever want anything with you.
00:19:33It really does seem like you've lost your grip these days.
00:19:37Want your freedom?
00:19:38Then deal with the housekeeper yourself.
00:19:40As he walked to the bathroom, my eyes landed on the scratch marks on his back.
00:19:44Deep scratches from a woman's nails.
00:19:46You take the bed.
00:19:46I'll handle the housekeeper tomorrow.
00:19:48I've changed the sheets.
00:19:49They're fresh.
00:19:53Didn't the housekeeper pass along my message?
00:19:55The whole table was loaded with food I'm allergic for.
00:19:58I couldn't touch it.
00:19:59What?
00:19:59Didn't she ask about your allergies before she began?
00:20:01His accusation was so heartless.
00:20:03I couldn't speak.
00:20:04Didn't she learn it all from you?
00:20:06Wasn't it your idea?
00:20:07To have her make something I couldn't eat so you could swoop in and save the day?
00:20:10I just spun around and fled the room in tears.
00:20:13I ended up in the kitchen, cooking pasta for him.
00:20:16As my tears fell into the boiling water.
00:20:20What, are we so broke we can't afford salt now?
00:20:23Is that why you're seasoning it like that?
00:20:28Next time, don't cry.
00:20:29You look like a ghost out for revenge.
00:20:34I snatched Julian's phone.
00:20:36Put it on speaker.
00:20:37How's your face, Eloise?
00:20:39Still sore?
00:20:40Catherine?
00:20:41What are you doing with my brother's phone?
00:20:43You pushed your way into marrying him.
00:20:45He never sees you as his wife.
00:20:46Julian and I are married.
00:20:48Why wouldn't we be?
00:20:49You've destroyed whatever he had with Louisa.
00:20:51You're disgusting.
00:20:53Of course.
00:20:54It's all me.
00:20:55Every night I threaten him with a knife.
00:20:57Just to make him come home.
00:20:59Your father's serving 25 years for first degree murder, isn't he?
00:21:02No, he was framed.
00:21:04I, indeed, offered a guard 200,000 yesterday.
00:21:08But he didn't take it.
00:21:09The money wasn't yours.
00:21:11This won't affect you.
00:21:13I'm free next Wednesday.
00:21:15I'll go visit him with you.
00:21:17Doing this out of kindness?
00:21:19For a moment, warmth stirred in me.
00:21:20Then I saw his mocking smile.
00:21:22This was not kindness, but leverage.
00:21:24Aren't things like this part of being married?
00:21:27I apologized for last night.
00:21:29He stared at me longer than usual.
00:21:31Was that attraction?
00:21:36Don't read into it.
00:21:37I'm not a germaphobe.
00:21:38I just don't want anything left behind.
00:21:40Your hands touched it.
00:21:42I'm sorry about last night.
00:21:44I lost control.
00:21:45If there's anything you need from me, just say it.
00:21:49You grabbed my phone and provoked Elise.
00:21:52What exactly were you planning?
00:21:59That date, that promise, he was using it against me.
00:22:01Then I guess I should go ahead and cancel my plan next Wednesday.
00:22:05Me?
00:22:07Provoking Eloise for some purpose?
00:22:09She came at me first, so I pushed back, that's all.
00:22:12I recorded the call.
00:22:13And you really think someone like her would be shaken by that?
00:22:19I thought about dropping it in your clan's group chat.
00:22:21That clip would have done more damage to you than to her.
00:22:23I made sure you weren't in it.
00:22:26You're still keeping your promise for next Wednesday, right?
00:22:29Can I trust you not to lie to me?
00:22:32Depends on how I feel.
00:22:34My leverage, worthless before him.
00:22:40If it weren't for Catherine pulling the strings with my dad,
00:22:43Julian wouldn't still be trapped in that ridiculous marriage.
00:22:46You don't deserve to be sidelined like this.
00:22:47I really don't mind.
00:22:48Just knowing I hold even a small place in his seant is enough for me.
00:22:52Hey, do you know if Julian's free tonight?
00:22:55I'll ask Kastin.
00:22:56He'll know what Julian's schedule looks like.
00:23:11Sure.
00:23:15Julian, would you like to have dinner with me?
00:23:18I'm free.
00:23:19Let's go.
00:23:21Not to get the Catherine-y.
00:23:23How's Catherine these days?
00:23:25You're not getting younger.
00:23:27You should think about your future.
00:23:28I'm focusing on my career.
00:23:33I waited for so long, prepared his favorite dishes, lit candles, but he didn't come home.
00:23:50He's not incapable of romance.
00:23:52He just never was romantic with me.
00:23:59You're always at home, dressed plainly, no makeup.
00:24:02How can you expect Mr. Nash to stay interested?
00:24:04If you look beautiful and confident, he will come running back.
00:24:08But Julian already belongs to someone else.
00:24:11If he's free to enjoy himself out there, why should I be faithful?
00:24:17But cheating outside marriage is just not right.
00:24:21So Julian's actions aren't cheating.
00:24:23Is it because he's a man that it somehow doesn't count?
00:24:29The autumn wind is so cold.
00:24:31But compared to the chill in my heart, this cold is nothing.
00:24:41Is love really that necessary?
00:24:45This someone you mentioned, who exactly are you talking about?
00:24:48There was this dog.
00:24:50He had an owner.
00:24:51A real home.
00:24:52The owner even went as far as arranging a marriage for him.
00:24:55I saw the dog wandering alone, so I gave him some food.
00:24:58But some dogs just can't be tamed.
00:25:00For my father's visitation rights, I had to bow my head.
00:25:02This isn't surrender, it's strategy.
00:25:04That dog wouldn't happen to go by the name Nash, would it?
00:25:07It's me.
00:25:08I'm a dog.
00:25:09Come on, bark for me.
00:25:10Oh, and maybe get your heart checked.
00:25:12Every time you're near me, it goes wild.
00:25:15That's nonsense.
00:25:23You know what I'm really after.
00:25:29Hey dad, what's going on?
00:25:32At that moment, I knew everything was about to change.
00:25:37Let...
00:25:37Let go.
00:25:39Not really, we haven't gone to bed yet.
00:25:41My only real wish now is for a grandchild.
00:25:45She was secretly studying up on the best positions.
00:25:49She's really worked wonders on you.
00:25:52He said I was studying positions, the bastard.
00:25:55This long?
00:25:57My hand touched somewhere I shouldn't have.
00:25:59The size.
00:26:00Impossible.
00:26:01Julian, you...
00:26:02You might have a medical condition.
00:26:04Maybe some kind of viragous issue?
00:26:07You don't have to sugarcoat it to compliment me.
00:26:09You and I can lead separate personal lives.
00:26:12But I can.
00:26:13If you can promise me he's innocent,
00:26:16changing the outcome is only a matter of time.
00:26:19I need to rest.
00:26:21This damn marriage.
00:26:23I didn't mean to shut it so hard earlier.
00:26:25I'm doing it again, properly this time.
00:26:28This damn marriage.
00:26:30Kacen, book a complete medical evaluation for me first thing tomorrow.
00:26:37So it turns out I've hated the wrong person for five years.
00:26:41Five years.
00:26:42He endured so much understanding yet never offered an explanation.
00:26:46Julian, the husband I never gave a second glance.
00:26:49Now I understand what forbearance lay behind every coldness.
00:26:59What are you doing here?
00:27:01Routine check.
00:27:02How about you?
00:27:03Routine physical examination.
00:27:05So close yet so far.
00:27:07The distance between us has never felt so vast.
00:27:10So suffocating.
00:27:11Julian, that night...
00:27:13No need to say more.
00:27:14There's nothing to explain.
00:27:15But I...
00:27:16How is your inspection result?
00:27:18Is he running or protecting me?
00:27:20Sis, you look different today.
00:27:23There's light in your eyes.
00:27:24Has something happened?
00:27:28Nothing much.
00:27:30Just figured some things out.
00:27:32In this world, only you truly love me.
00:27:34Austin, dear brother.
00:27:35Mother never cared for us.
00:27:36We were just her pawns.
00:27:40Three years of marriage.
00:27:41All I got was silence and humiliation.
00:27:45This is a gift for Ernest.
00:27:46I need to pay for it myself.
00:27:48That's what makes it meaningful.
00:27:49I'm gonna put it on his wrist tonight.
00:27:51Your allowance seems to multiply rather quickly these days.
00:27:54Who said it's just your allowance?
00:27:55I've been investing with Louisa lately and made some money.
00:28:00Is she buying clothes for another man?
00:28:03Shut up.
00:28:04She's not like that.
00:28:05See?
00:28:06The sweater she's holding isn't even your size.
00:28:08It must be for some old man.
00:28:13Ma'am, this sweater will suit your dad perfectly.
00:28:17Thank you.
00:28:18Let me look at this tie, too.
00:28:23Ma'am, this tie is this year's new style, perfect for your husband.
00:28:29All right, I'll take it.
00:28:33Sir, madam is waiting for you upstairs.
00:28:37Waiting for me?
00:28:38Why?
00:28:38You'll know when you go up, sir.
00:28:45Catherine?
00:28:46You're waiting for me?
00:28:48Um, this is for you.
00:28:50For me?
00:28:51Why?
00:28:55So, what do you want?
00:28:58It's nothing.
00:28:59I saw a tie today and thought of you.
00:29:03You thought of me?
00:29:05How sweet.
00:29:06Do you like it?
00:29:09You put it on me.
00:29:13I've never learned to tie one properly.
00:29:15Used to insist on doing it.
00:29:17Every single morning.
00:29:18That version of me doesn't exist anymore.
00:29:20I've forgotten.
00:29:24Fine.
00:29:30It's done.
00:29:31Now, my dad's been worried.
00:29:33I thought if we took a picture together, it might easy his mind.
00:29:35A picture?
00:29:37All this drama for a picture?
00:29:39Just stand still.
00:29:40And could you try to look like you don't want to kill me?
00:29:42I leaned closer, forcing a painful smile, and miscalculated the distance my lips brushed
00:29:48his lightly.
00:29:49I'm sorry, I...
00:29:51Don't move.
00:29:52Why aren't you pushing me away?
00:29:54Where's the contempt?
00:29:56He didn't push me away.
00:29:58Instead, he held my waist and the back of my head, deepening the kiss.
00:30:08His kiss wasn't gentle.
00:30:10It was harsh and overpowering.
00:30:12Julian!
00:30:13Stop!
00:30:14Let me go!
00:30:16And I couldn't breathe.
00:30:17I tried to push him away, but he just pulled me onto his lap, his arms locking around my
00:30:22waist.
00:30:22Catherine.
00:30:25The moment his grip loosened, I scrambled to the other end of the room.
00:30:28You didn't take a picture.
00:30:30You recorded audio.
00:30:32Give that back to me!
00:30:34My IP had recorded everything.
00:30:36All those little gasps.
00:30:37I must have missed them at the time.
00:30:39Delete it!
00:30:39This is my room!
00:30:40You need to get out!
00:30:45Later, with his help, I was finally able to visit my father in prison.
00:30:52Dad?
00:30:54It's me, Catherine.
00:30:56He looked so frail.
00:30:57He reached for me, trying to speak, but only distorted sounds came out.
00:31:00Miss Clark, our time is up.
00:31:03I don't understand.
00:31:05Who would do this?
00:31:07Before we left, Mr. Nash instructed me to check on your father's circumstances.
00:31:12Julian did?
00:31:13Julian?
00:31:14Why would he do that?
00:31:15I spoke to an old acquaintance inside.
00:31:17He'll make sure your father is protected.
00:31:19He planned for this?
00:31:21He knew.
00:31:22He knew this would happen.
00:31:25This is a specialty pastry from Julian's mother's hometown.
00:31:29He loved it as a child.
00:31:32I'll learn carefully.
00:31:33Thank you.
00:31:34To thank him, I learned to make his Child Hill pastry.
00:31:43The lobby was as cold and imposing as the man who owned it.
00:31:48No appointment, no meeting.
00:31:50You need to leave.
00:31:51I refused to be intimidated.
00:31:53I was just here to deliver a thank you.
00:31:55I'm just dropping something off for Julian Nash.
00:31:57You can check with his assistant.
00:32:00Every woman who shows up says the same thing.
00:32:02Spare me the act.
00:32:04Just call Kays and Price.
00:32:05If you're so confident, call him yourself.
00:32:08Or do you think you're Miss Wright who can waltz in here whenever she pleases?
00:32:12The words hit me like a physical blow.
00:32:14Miss Wright.
00:32:15The name echoed in the cavernous lobby and in my heart.
00:32:19I took out my phone and called Julian, but it went unanswered.
00:32:23Having trouble getting through?
00:32:26Fine.
00:32:27I'll just leave this here.
00:32:29Please see that he gets it.
00:32:31Don't bother.
00:32:32He won't touch anything you bring.
00:32:34It'll go straight in the trash.
00:32:36Just then, a familiar ding cut through the silence and the world seemed to stop.
00:32:41Good day, Mr. Nash.
00:32:43Catherine.
00:32:44Why didn't you wait for me in my office?
00:32:48Have you eaten?
00:32:49Let's talk upstairs.
00:32:51No.
00:32:52I made this to thank you.
00:32:54Eat it or throw it away.
00:32:55I'm leaving.
00:32:56I turned to walk away, but he caught my wrist, his grip firm.
00:33:01Why are you acting like this?
00:33:03Did she give you trouble?
00:33:09Mr. Price, please.
00:33:11I fought so hard for this job.
00:33:12I swear I didn't do anything to her.
00:33:14You made a huge mistake.
00:33:15HR will handle your severance.
00:33:19I followed Julian into his office.
00:33:22He opened the pastry box I brought, and the fragrance drifted softly through the silent air.
00:33:28Well, be honest.
00:33:30What's the score?
00:33:44How did the housekeeper know how to make these?
00:33:46He said it's a specialty from your mother's hometown.
00:33:48I thought you might remember the taste.
00:33:50His face shifted.
00:33:51Just a flicker of something unreadable crossing his features.
00:33:55Before he set the empty container aside.
00:33:57What's wrong?
00:33:58If you hated it, just say so.
00:33:59I won't make it again.
00:34:01Catherine?
00:34:02Catherine?
00:34:02Why doesn't your cooking ever set off my allergies?
00:34:07Just took some effort, that's all.
00:34:11There's a private lounge here.
00:34:13Get cleaned up with a hot shower before you go.
00:34:17It's fine.
00:34:18I'll just do it at home.
00:34:20If you end up with pneumonia, I'm tossing you and the pastries straight into the dumpster.
00:34:25Your top's practically transparent.
00:34:29You got a problem?
00:34:33I stepped out of his shower, wrapped in a towel.
00:34:37And that's member of the Mom's skewvition towel, only to realize my clothes were still dripping wet.
00:34:47That moment, my heart skipped a beat.
00:34:50His gesture so casual, as if no distance existed between us at all.
00:34:59I thought he needed comfort, never knowing his wound wasn't in longing.
00:35:02But in those pasts, he refused to speak of.
00:35:05Thinking about your mom?
00:35:07I barely remember her face.
00:35:08So no, not likely.
00:35:16I...
00:35:16I wasn't aware she was here.
00:35:18Apologies, I'll come back.
00:35:24Since you like it, try it on.
00:35:27That moment, my heart skipped a beat.
00:35:30His gesture so casual, as if no distance existed between us at all.
00:35:36Pretty average.
00:35:45We went shopping at the boutique with laughter and joy.
00:35:50Oh, come on.
00:35:51You and your husband must have experimented, right?
00:35:54After exiting the mall, I saw his car parked by the roadside.
00:36:00Julian!
00:36:00What a surprise seeing you here!
00:36:05I found out later what happened to the necklace Julian gave me.
00:36:08He went to his office and found the velvet box gone.
00:36:10Has my wife been in my office lately?
00:36:12No, sir.
00:36:12But your sister has stopped by more than once.
00:36:17What's wrong, Eloine?
00:36:18It's Julian!
00:36:19He's being so dramatic!
00:36:20I bet Catherine stirred things up and now he's lashing out at me!
00:36:24Eloine, isn't Linna Grant hosting a celebration soon?
00:36:26Let's merge my birthday celebration with her event.
00:36:29A birthday is just a date.
00:36:30Building connections is what truly matters.
00:36:31Your league's ahead of Catherine, so thoughtful and poised.
00:36:34He'd be a fool not to fall for you!
00:36:36What is it?
00:36:37I need a shirt to go with this.
00:36:38There's an event tomorrow.
00:36:40What kind of event is it?
00:36:41Are you one of the key guests?
00:36:42It's Lila Grant's hundred-day milestone with her boyfriend.
00:36:44I'm just talking business.
00:36:45I don't want to draw too much attention.
00:36:47I was just adjusting his collar, but my fingers brushed against his chest.
00:36:50He was perfectly sculpted.
00:36:52Lost in thought, or are you meditating?
00:36:54Feel free to admire.
00:36:55I can take the shirt off if you want a better look.
00:36:59Take off your shirt, now.
00:37:01And what exactly are those flower-shaped things?
00:37:04Nipple covers.
00:37:04I got them ages ago.
00:37:06Your shirt is sheer.
00:37:07These will prevent things from showing.
00:37:11And slap them onto his chest.
00:37:13That's all.
00:37:14I'm going to bed now.
00:37:16At the gala, I stared at my reflection, almost a stranger to myself.
00:37:22I put on the mask, hoping to remain unseen.
00:37:28Miss Grant, today is my birthday, and Julian has been buried in work.
00:37:33Could I borrow your pianist for just a moment?
00:37:35A song might help him relax.
00:37:36I'll need to ask first.
00:37:39It should be her choice.
00:37:40I appreciate that.
00:37:43She's the pianist I mentioned.
00:37:45Incredibly gifted.
00:37:46Miss Grant, you're giving me too much credit.
00:37:48I'm just here to earn a living.
00:37:50You're too humble.
00:37:51They brought in a stein wife for you.
00:37:52So, what's with the mask?
00:37:54It's just how the outfit was designed.
00:38:03I kept telling myself I had moved on, but seeing them together was a special kind of cruelty.
00:38:10Catherine.
00:38:14I have to get back.
00:38:16So it really is you.
00:38:17Leaving already?
00:38:18That's a little impolite.
00:38:20Please, let me pass.
00:38:21Are you afraid of me?
00:38:23But why?
00:38:24I'm just someone Julian knows.
00:38:26You're his wife, aren't you?
00:38:27Or does seeing me really shake you that much?
00:38:34I ran, her mocking voice echoing behind me.
00:38:38I had to get this over with.
00:38:42This pastry is clanging.
00:38:44Already bored?
00:38:45We can head out soon if you want.
00:38:47No need to worry about me.
00:38:48Then, the light softened.
00:38:50A piano melody swept through the hall.
00:38:52Everyone turned to watch the couple kiss.
00:38:56But Julian's eyes, they bypassed them completely and landed right on me.
00:39:04Even in a room full of people, I could feel the whispers turning towards me.
00:39:08Who is that at the piano?
00:39:10I don't know.
00:39:11I've never seen her before.
00:39:12She seems young.
00:39:14Probably just hired help.
00:39:15If she's not from our circle, I might have a shot.
00:39:19Don't.
00:39:22I could feel his eyes on me from across the room.
00:39:24A commanding presence that felt like it could see right through my mask.
00:39:32Julian!
00:39:33Then, a cheerful voice cut through the tension, pulling his attention away.
00:39:38What's inside?
00:39:39It's for you.
00:39:40How would I know?
00:39:41Just open it.
00:39:44He pulled the ribbon, and pink balloons soared into the air one after another, with Louisa
00:39:49emerging from among them.
00:39:52It's your birthday.
00:39:54Why wrap yourself like a present?
00:39:56Will you take the gift, Julian?
00:39:58Watching him offer tenderness to another woman sent a sharp H through me.
00:40:02He was my husband, and I was just a bystander.
00:40:05Miss, here's the piece Miss Wright asked for.
00:40:11I braced myself and began to play, but my fingers faltered, striking a harsh, jaring chord that silenced the hall.
00:40:19What happened?
00:40:20She stopped.
00:40:22A blade!
00:40:23There's a blade wedged between the keys!
00:40:33Hurts, doesn't it?
00:40:38I found the blade Louisa hid between the piano keys.
00:40:41An execution aimed straight at my hands.
00:40:44What made her stop playing all of a sudden?
00:40:47Seriously, who hired this pianist?
00:40:49Is she deaf or just ignoring us?
00:40:51I pulled the blade free and began to play again.
00:40:53What is this melody?
00:40:54It's haunting.
00:40:56She should be crying in pain.
00:40:57Is she playing a mourning song on Louisa's birthday?
00:41:01Julian!
00:41:02Julian, why is everyone staring?
00:41:03They don't seem very pleased.
00:41:06Julian, it's my fault.
00:41:07I only meant to borrow her for a short while.
00:41:09Maybe she's upset.
00:41:11She's not even mad, right?
00:41:12She's playing perfectly fine.
00:41:14Please, just let it go.
00:41:15I should have thought things through.
00:41:17Ella Wayne, bring her here.
00:41:20When the last note faded, I didn't wait to be summoned.
00:41:24I snatched a silver fork from a table and walked straight for her.
00:41:30My brother wants to talk to you.
00:41:33Julian, stop her!
00:41:35She's coming for me!
00:41:38That's enough.
00:41:40I sidestepped him and lunged for Louisa.
00:41:43He moved to block me, catching my wrist just as he ripped my mask away.
00:41:49Catherine?
00:41:50Are you out of your damn mind?
00:41:52Let go.
00:41:54She tried to stab me, Julian!
00:41:55She's insane!
00:41:57My grip rip tightened.
00:41:59You will answer to me!
00:42:02No.
00:42:03She will.
00:42:05I sent Louisa crashing to the floor with one swift kick.
00:42:10What the hell is wrong with you?
00:42:12You crazy bitch!
00:42:14Enough!
00:42:16He seized my wrist and jerked me backward, shoving me toward Louisa.
00:42:21Say you're sorry.
00:42:23Let me go.
00:42:25You're going to apologize.
00:42:28Right now.
00:42:29If you want to play judge, call the cops.
00:42:31You don't get to command me.
00:42:33Julian!
00:42:34This is a public event.
00:42:35Let it go.
00:42:37Ernest.
00:42:39Take Louisa to the hospital.
00:42:42Julian.
00:42:43He dragged me out of the hotel, his grip like iron.
00:42:52Why did you go after Louisa?
00:42:54Let me go.
00:42:56Answer me.
00:42:57What do you want me to admit?
00:42:59Even if she started it, you wouldn't believe me anyway.
00:43:02Started it?
00:43:03She never left my side.
00:43:04Do you hear how ridiculous you sound?
00:43:07I knew you'd say that.
00:43:09You always rush to her defense.
00:43:11Starting now, you don't mean anything to me.
00:43:20Julian, come with me.
00:43:22Louisa needs you at the hospital.
00:43:28The banquet scene was in chaos.
00:43:30I walked tall, unable to hide the turmoil inside me.
00:43:34Trail her.
00:43:35Make sure she gets back safely.
00:43:37Yes, sir.
00:43:42What's going on with Louisa?
00:43:44You're going to check on her?
00:43:45One more won't make a difference.
00:43:47She might refuse the driver you sent.
00:43:49Should I take her?
00:43:50Your own sister is hurt, and you're worried about her instead?
00:43:53Just a joke.
00:43:54I know my limits.
00:43:55The dried blood catching the light.
00:43:56Wait.
00:43:57Is this blood?
00:43:59Get this treated at the hospital.
00:44:04She humiliated me, and Julian just stood by and watched?
00:44:09You'd better be honest about what you did to Catherine.
00:44:13It's just a minor injury.
00:44:15He won't care.
00:44:19Sir, Madam hasn't returned home yet.
00:44:24Don't mention her again.
00:44:26She was so full of joy this morning, saying she wanted to celebrate with you.
00:44:31I'm sorry for getting you mixed up in this.
00:44:34I just lost control for a moment.
00:44:37You're too soft.
00:44:38If it had been me, I would have killed her.
00:44:43I later learned that Lila insisted on talking to Julian.
00:44:46We don't even know Julian Nash.
00:44:48Why on earth would he care what we have to say?
00:44:50Lila was annoyed by Louisa's overstepping at her party.
00:44:53Whether he listens or not doesn't matter.
00:44:56I just want to get some justice.
00:44:58Julian agreed to the meeting easily, but his mood was unusually bad that day.
00:45:05That night involved Miss Wright and Mrs. Nash.
00:45:07It would reflect poorly on us.
00:45:09What does that have to do with me?
00:45:10But Miss Wright, she's...
00:45:11There's nothing between us.
00:45:12There is nothing between us.
00:45:14What are you standing there for?
00:45:16Got nothing better to do?
00:45:17Get out!
00:45:18Was your hand badly hurt?
00:45:19The stitches are out already.
00:45:21I'm fine.
00:45:22Why is Louisa targeting you?
00:45:23Does Julian have a crush on you?
00:45:26It's not that dramatic.
00:45:28On the day of their meeting, it rained heavily.
00:45:31What gives you and Louisa the right to bully Catherine?
00:45:35A victim who attacks people with a fork and knocks someone flying with one kick.
00:45:40How very novel.
00:45:42Why don't you ask what Louisa did first?
00:45:47Catherine cut her finger on a blade hidden in the piano keys and required several stitches.
00:45:52The truth began to surface during the dinner between Julian and Lila.
00:45:55When did this happen?
00:45:56After you left, the razor blade was hidden inside the new sheet music.
00:46:00I handed the matter of last week's banquet over to the police.
00:46:03I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:46:05Police visit late at night.
00:46:07What trouble have you got yourself into this time?
00:46:09Leave me alone!
00:46:10Do whatever it takes to fix this!
00:46:12Is this about Catherine?
00:46:14Has he lost his mind defending her like this?
00:46:16He doesn't love you.
00:46:17Mrs. Catherine takes on jobs in three fields at the same time.
00:46:20Design, music, and translation.
00:46:21Her annual income is quite significant.
00:46:23She earns between $50,000 and $200,000 per performance.
00:46:26One more thing.
00:46:26The card you gave her was recently charged overseas for over $3 million.
00:46:29What did she buy?
00:46:30A McLaren.
00:46:31Call Catherine and tell her to come back.
00:46:33The madam might be busy.
00:46:34Would you like to call her personally?
00:46:36You call her.
00:46:37Without a word, Julian passed her his phone.
00:46:40Still no answer.
00:46:41Call again.
00:46:42Sir, it seems she has blocked you.
00:46:45I blocked him.
00:46:46He looked very angry.
00:46:51I loathed going back to that so-called home and unexpectedly ran into him.
00:46:56I just came back to get something.
00:46:58I'll leave right away.
00:46:59Catherine, let's talk.
00:47:02There's nothing to talk about.
00:47:05Louisa started it.
00:47:07You didn't explain it properly at all.
00:47:10So you've figured it all out now?
00:47:12I've already warned her.
00:47:14Your card was taken by Aline.
00:47:16Why didn't you tell me?
00:47:17Some things are pointless to say.
00:47:18Can't you just talk sense?
00:47:20I'm only talking to you the way you deserve.
00:47:22Then we'll talk in the study.
00:47:23Is this how a man should act?
00:47:24Let go of me!
00:47:26Have you lost your mind?
00:47:30Later, Julian went to the hospital.
00:47:32When Kacen brought the necklace he prepared for me, he gave it to Kacen in anger.
00:47:36It's yours now.
00:47:37Isn't this necklace for madam?
00:47:38It would be a waste to give it to her.
00:47:40Shall we head home, Mr. Julian?
00:47:43To the company.
00:47:48I ran into Ernest unexpectedly at the hospital, and he apologized for Louisa's behavior at the party.
00:47:53Don't you lay a finger on Catherine.
00:47:57Julian, you are overthinking.
00:47:59I simply ran into Ms. Clark and had a few words with her.
00:48:02What?
00:48:03Have you taken a fancy to married women now?
00:48:05Catherine will never get a divorce.
00:48:07Don't waste your time.
00:48:08How dare you fool around with another man right outside the hospital?
00:48:11What exactly are you back for?
00:48:13For your dignity or for your eyesight?
00:48:15What are you scheming with the rights, and why do you need Ernest personal business card?
00:48:18Is accepting a business card concomes flirting?
00:48:20Am I to be suspected even for just talking to someone?
00:48:25Hello?
00:48:26I'm at the lounge.
00:48:27Could you send someone to pick me up?
00:48:29It's near the hotel.
00:48:30Stay right there.
00:48:31I'm on my way.
00:48:32One more round!
00:48:33Bring it on!
00:48:36Who are you?
00:48:39It's time to go back to the hotel.
00:48:40Are you with the hotel?
00:48:42No, but I've spoken with the front desk.
00:48:44Just come with me.
00:48:44Who exactly are you?
00:48:46Mr. A.
00:48:51What?
00:48:53What are you doing?
00:48:54You are Julian Nash's wife, so I can't show my face.
00:48:57Don't mention him in front of me.
00:48:59He blindfolded me with his tie and held me.
00:49:01Nervous at first, I forced myself to relax.
00:49:04So nervous?
00:49:05Don't you like this?
00:49:06No.
00:49:08Not getting along with Julian Nash?
00:49:10Don't mention him again.
00:49:12In the car, he asked about Julian again, and I didn't want to talk about it.
00:49:16Later, in the dark hotel room, he suddenly kissed me, and I couldn't resist at all.
00:49:23Out of breath already?
00:49:25Not used to kissing?
00:49:27Don't.
00:49:28We shouldn't be this intimate.
00:49:31Really?
00:49:31Then what exactly are we to each other?
00:49:33Pretending to be Mr. A to cheat on myself?
00:49:36That's completely crazy.
00:49:44What happened last night?
00:49:48Waking up, everything felt like a dream.
00:49:51But my body remembers every moment.
00:49:58One month.
00:49:59He thinks I can be bought.
00:50:03Let me introduce Mr. Nash.
00:50:05CEO of Nash Group.
00:50:09We've never met.
00:50:11A pleasure, Mr. Nash.
00:50:14In that moment, time stood still.
00:50:16It was him.
00:50:17Mr. A, we had to pretend we'd never met.
00:50:21This city is full of women like you, Ms. Clark.
00:50:25Professional, elegant, and available for the right price.
00:50:31The contract terms are standard, Mr. Nash.
00:50:34Every word was a dagger from last night.
00:50:36I had to stay calm.
00:50:38Couldn't let him see me waver.
00:50:39Have dinner with me.
00:50:41I don't think that's appropriate.
00:50:44You already spent last night with your husband.
00:50:47One dinner.
00:50:48That's all I'm asking.
00:50:56Tonight, everything is under control.
00:51:02She thinks she's the hunter.
00:51:04Little does she know.
00:51:05The prey has its eyes on her.
00:51:07Well, well.
00:51:09Look who decided to show up.
00:51:12Words are the finest weapons.
00:51:14And I never miss my mark.
00:51:17Julian mentioned you'd be difficult.
00:51:19I can see why he prefers my company.
00:51:21Does he?
00:51:23Or is it that you're simply available?
00:51:25You think you're so clever?
00:51:26No, Louisa, I don't think.
00:51:28I know.
00:51:29And that's the difference between us.
00:51:31I'm his wife.
00:51:32You're just a distraction.
00:51:38I thought the battlefield was settled.
00:51:41I was wrong.
00:51:42The real fight was just beginning.
00:51:47Did you enjoy your little game?
00:51:49His kiss wasn't love.
00:51:51It was a mark.
00:51:52A possession.
00:51:53A vengeance.
00:51:56You're mine, Catherine.
00:51:57Never forget that.
00:52:01A thinks he's won.
00:52:03But he doesn't know my counterattack has just begun.
00:52:06Remember your place, darling.
00:52:12This is an additional card.
00:52:14It's capped at $10 million a month.
00:52:15You should have been using it all along.
00:52:17There's no need to hold back on Mike.
00:52:18I don't need it.
00:52:18Three years beside me and not a dime touched.
00:52:20What?
00:52:20What?
00:52:20When we part ways, are you planning to tell people I was cold and stingy?
00:52:23Not everyone thinks badly of others.
00:52:24You never really know someone's nature.
00:52:25I'd rather not leave behind any loose ends.
00:52:27Don't want it?
00:52:27Trash it.
00:52:28Just remember, bank cards go in recycling bin.
00:52:30You've avoided home for nearly a month.
00:52:32Want to return willingly?
00:52:33Or should my dad come fetch you himself?
00:52:35Your call.
00:52:36His threat weighs like a stone on my heart.
00:52:42You don't like it?
00:52:45This is all for appearances.
00:52:46Why go to all that trouble?
00:52:48It's not for show.
00:52:49I picked it out for you.
00:52:50Is your office running late tonight?
00:52:52Nash Group doesn't believe in overtime.
00:52:54Right.
00:52:56His message isn't from the person I texted.
00:52:58Let's talk later.
00:53:00Let's not keep Lawrence waiting.
00:53:02We should go.
00:53:04We're here.
00:53:06This bracelet is a hollow gesture.
00:53:08I'd prefer something simpler.
00:53:10Absolutely not.
00:53:11You give me a grand grand sub, Julian, and I'll never meddle in your personal matters again.
00:53:15You made the exact same promise when you forced me into marriage.
00:53:17Did you really think I'd fall for it twice?
00:53:19His silence is a volcano about to erupt.
00:53:22I don't want her around.
00:53:25What's your problem?
00:53:26Was it necessary to screech chair across the floor?
00:53:31That's a lie.
00:53:32When did I ever say that?
00:53:34You're twisting everything.
00:53:35Still denying it?
00:53:36Look at the way you're acting.
00:53:38All right.
00:53:38Enough of this.
00:53:39You're an adult now.
00:53:40You can't crumble over every little thing.
00:53:41Camille, is that what Elish told you?
00:53:43Because I remember it very differently.
00:53:44Elish, you practically stole that card from me, insisting I wasn't worthy of Julian or the Nash family's resources.
00:53:49What are you saying?
00:53:49You never asked.
00:53:51I never asked?
00:53:51That card carried six million a year.
00:53:53You took it without saying a word?
00:53:56You did, but I thought...
00:53:58Six million a year, not even 20 over three.
00:54:00If Catherine wants it back, I'll wire it to her.
00:54:02If paying back stolen funds solved everything, there'd be no need for law enforcement.
00:54:06Stolen?
00:54:07That's a bit much, don't you think?
00:54:08Return the money you took.
00:54:09Double the amount.
00:54:10Starting now, I'll handle your allowance.
00:54:13Ten thousand per month for the next three years.
00:54:15Only ten thousand?
00:54:17Wasn't it your mother who said you were too young to need that kind of money?
00:54:20His decision surprises me.
00:54:22Kath, it's getting late.
00:54:24You and Julia should spend the night here and join me for breakfast tomorrow.
00:54:30All right, Lawrence.
00:54:31Come, Eloise.
00:54:32Let's go upstairs.
00:54:35Next time something happens, come to me directly.
00:54:38Don't stir up trouble that can be avoided.
00:54:41Hmm.
00:54:43Pick a room for the night.
00:54:44I'll have someone prepare it.
00:54:47Who is he?
00:54:48Why does he always appear when I need him?
00:54:55The tension between Julian and his father was thick enough to choke on.
00:54:58What happened in that room?
00:55:00He stood in the shadows.
00:55:02When I was nice to Camille tonight, it wasn't because I meant it.
00:55:05I just wanted to get under Alaysha's skin.
00:55:07Why are you justifying yourself to me?
00:55:10If they don't have it in this city, go find it in another one.
00:55:13Do I have to spell everything out for you?
00:55:16They're hard to get, actually.
00:55:18They're custom-made, Alba custom fragrances.
00:55:23Julian, there's no extra blanket here.
00:55:26If you're that cold, come share it.
00:55:28The bed had only one blanket, and Julian was already lying there, expecting me to share it.
00:55:32Frustrated, I kicked the bed.
00:55:34A mistake.
00:55:35Instant toe pain.
00:55:36Catherine, remind me.
00:55:39How old are you again?
00:55:45Mr. Nash said to make sure you both drink it.
00:55:48I have to report back once it's done.
00:55:52Julian, get up.
00:55:53You need to drink the soup.
00:56:02Before I could react, he pulled me into his arms and forced the soup into my mouth through a kiss.
00:56:10After changing into our pajamas, I slammed my foot down on his with a fury that made the floorboards rattle.
00:56:16But he didn't even flinch.
00:56:18That stuff must work quick.
00:56:20Look at you.
00:56:21Suddenly full of energy.
00:56:23In the dark, I heard muffled, breathing, strange, restrained sounds.
00:56:27My mind lit up with images I shouldn't be thinking about.
00:56:31I woke up to find myself collapsed right on top of him.
00:56:33Worse, my hand had connected with his face, and then his most sensitive area.
00:56:38I didn't mean to.
00:56:39I'm really sorry.
00:56:40When I sleep, I clutch onto a pillow.
00:56:42I guess I thought you were one.
00:56:44He claimed the bed was too flimsy for intimacy.
00:56:46I blushed in utter mortification.
00:56:48Didn't get much sleep, did you?
00:56:50What's going on with you?
00:56:51The bed in my room is too flimsy for certain activities.
00:56:54We moved to the balcony.
00:56:55Guess the cold wind got me sick.
00:57:00Inside the car, Julian coldly asked me why I was so kind to his father.
00:57:04I looked at him, then told him the truth.
00:57:07What did my dad give you to make you treat him so kindly?
00:57:11When debt collectors came and forced me to sell myself, it was your father who stepped in.
00:57:17He gave me the money to fix everything.
00:57:19He checked the sum his father had given me.
00:57:22$800,000.
00:57:23His expression was unreadable.
00:57:24Only $800,000?
00:57:31Oh, absolutely.
00:57:32Mr. Nash is wonderful to work with.
00:57:34We've even become friends over the course of our collaboration.
00:57:37Since you two are friends now, Mr. Dupont, there's something I think you should know.
00:57:40Your temporary interpreter, Ms. Clark, she doesn't even hold a real translation certification.
00:57:45Is that really the case?
00:57:47I'd be more than happy to help you arrange that, free of charge.
00:57:50One more thing, Ms. Wright.
00:57:51It's never a good idea to badmuth people when they're not around.
00:57:57Julian, I hate to bother you, but Elise has been really upset lately.
00:58:01She keeps coming to me in tears, and I can't just stand by, so I had to come come talk
00:58:04to you about it.
00:58:06Let her cry all she wants.
00:58:08Don't give her a single cent.
00:58:09Understood?
00:58:10Mr. Nash, it seems you're lucky to have Ms. Wright's expert hands.
00:58:13Sounds like he's envious.
00:58:14Why don't you give him one later?
00:58:16I wouldn't even think of it.
00:58:21In that moment, I saw the challenge in her eyes, and the evasion in his.
00:58:25We were husband and wife, yet we stared at each other like strangers.
00:58:29This game was just beginning.
00:58:31How about nine?
00:58:32Sorry, I'm unavailable tonight.
00:58:34You invited me last time, but I showed up at the hotel and never saw you.
00:58:37I had something urgent come up.
00:58:39I explained afterward.
00:58:40I didn't see your message.
00:58:42Okay.
00:58:44Julian, what's caught your eye?
00:58:48Something R-80.
00:58:53What hotel are we heading to?
00:58:56Riverpoint Hotel.
00:58:57That's a pretty low-tier pick.
00:59:01Doesn't look like he's investing much in you.
00:59:09The room was dark, and so was my heart.
00:59:12I knew he was on his way.
00:59:13I knew I shouldn't expect anything.
00:59:15But that familiar feeling, it wouldn't fade.
00:59:22Seriously?
00:59:23Don't bring him up right now.
00:59:24You're killing the moment.
00:59:26Then why don't you pretend I'm him?
00:59:28Doesn't bother me.
00:59:30Treat me as your husband.
00:59:32Just...
00:59:33For a moment, you sounded exactly like my jerk husband.
00:59:37Still haunted by him, huh?
00:59:39Huh?
00:59:50Again.
00:59:51Every time I wake up, he's gone.
00:59:53I bit him.
00:59:54If he's Julian, there should be marks.
00:59:56I have to know.
01:00:03You actually seem more energized the more you work.
01:00:06I had a little too much last night.
01:00:08Got all this energy to burn.
01:00:10Nested that, too.
01:00:11Gotta let it out somehow.
01:00:14Oh, no.
01:00:15I'm so sorry.
01:00:15I didn't mean to.
01:00:16Good thing I brought you a new shirt.
01:00:18Go change quickly.
01:00:22Your shirt is $699.
01:00:24You owe me that much.
01:00:25Catherine said Julian owed her for the shirt.
01:00:28He gave her $80,000 without a glance.
01:00:30I'll drive you back.
01:00:31Julian drives the exhausted Catherine home.
01:00:34At home, Julian carried the sleeping Catherine to her bed,
01:00:37but she wouldn't let go of his arm.
01:00:39Let go.
01:00:40She didn't.
01:00:41So he shoved an ugly turtle plush into her arms and left.
01:00:44Under the pillow, he found their marriage certificate.
01:00:48His name was blacked out with angry marker strokes.
01:00:50The corners were frayed.
01:00:51She'd held it too many times.
01:00:53What are you filming?
01:00:54Mr. Nash.
01:00:54I just think it's so nice to have the madam back.
01:00:56I saw you holding your wife.
01:00:58It was so sweet.
01:00:58I couldn't help myself.
01:01:00He finally came to his senses.
01:01:02Looks like my efforts weren't in vain.
01:01:04Can I post this on social media?
01:01:07That's for Julian.
01:01:08Can you not eat it all?
01:01:09Don't push your luck.
01:01:10He throws away everything you give him without even looking at it.
01:01:13What exactly are you trying to say?
01:01:15Are you still going to send it?
01:01:17What role do you think you play in their story?
01:01:21You've got some nerve cheating on someone who belongs to Lila.
01:01:24You just said you'd do anything, right?
01:01:27Mm-hmm.
01:01:27Because right now, LS, I have an idea.
01:01:34I've thought of a way to finally get back at her.
01:01:38I'm listening.
01:01:41Okay.
01:01:44See that?
01:01:45Perfect ammunition.
01:01:47Recording.
01:01:48Got it.
01:01:49You're brilliant!
01:01:50One video takes down both of them!
01:01:52As long as you're pleased.
01:01:54Just don't go too far.
01:01:58Insurance.
01:01:59For later.
01:02:00I don't want to leave you, Pearson.
01:02:02When will I see you again?
01:02:03Lila's going on a trip next week.
01:02:05Then I'm all yours, babe.
01:02:07Pearson looked quite pleased with himself.
01:02:08But as soon as her car drove away, he turned around and froze.
01:02:12Bold of you, carrying on in public like this.
01:02:14What?
01:02:15What do you want?
01:02:18Something feels off.
01:02:19Mr. Nash must really adore you.
01:02:21These are all top tier.
01:02:22Since when does Julian buy me gifts like this?
01:02:26Who else do you think I bought them for?
01:02:27Louisa Wright, of course.
01:02:29Those dresses were made for flat chests.
01:02:31She wouldn't fit even if she tried.
01:02:33Up for it?
01:02:35I want to see your face.
01:02:37Knowing too much could be dangerous.
01:02:39The food's for you.
01:02:40Go ahead.
01:02:41Thanks.
01:02:42I'll wait.
01:02:42Let's eat together.
01:02:44I've already eaten.
01:02:45You remind me of my husband.
01:02:47Then why not just turn on the light and take a look?
01:02:50I think it's better if we stick to the rules.
01:02:52Why do you love him so much?
01:02:54You talk too much.
01:02:56You're sensitive everywhere, huh?
01:03:01He's allergic to cream.
01:03:02But this man doesn't care.
01:03:04You...
01:03:05Are you planning to eat all of it with your mouth?
01:03:07Of course.
01:03:09Then...
01:03:10Maybe don't eat too much.
01:03:14Cream's not poison.
01:03:15Why shouldn't I have more?
01:03:16I just can't.
01:03:17I just can't.
01:03:21It's okay.
01:03:22Let it all out.
01:03:24His arms comforted me, but could not heal my heart.
01:03:26I want to stop loving him.
01:03:29Late at night, his call broke the silence.
01:03:32Oh!
01:03:33My heart skipped a beat.
01:03:38Hello?
01:03:39Pyerson?
01:03:40At this hour?
01:03:41What is it?
01:03:42Catherine, I have a favor to ask.
01:03:44Can you design a dress for Lila?
01:03:45It's a surprise.
01:03:48Smells good.
01:03:49You're a great cook.
01:03:50Thanks.
01:03:52I hope you like it.
01:03:54Standing at his door, I knew it was dangerous.
01:03:56Yet I couldn't stay away.
01:03:58Miss Clark, you're even more stunning in person than in the photos.
01:04:02If you're feeling warm, don't hesitate to take off your coat.
01:04:05I...
01:04:05I need to see Lila about the dress.
01:04:10Care to explain what's going on?
01:04:12You really think sitting alone with me in the living room counts as a threat?
01:04:16Alright, alright.
01:04:17Cautious girls are all the rage these days.
01:04:19I'll go grab her.
01:04:20That would be appreciated.
01:04:24Catherine!
01:04:25Why were you standing out here?
01:04:26It's freezing!
01:04:27Look at these.
01:04:28They look perfect on you.
01:04:30Thank you, Lila.
01:04:30They're beautiful.
01:04:32Do you mind giving us some space?
01:04:34This is girl time.
01:04:34Why are you even still here?
01:04:36Fine, fine.
01:04:36I'll leave you two to your...
01:04:37girl time.
01:04:39So, Catherine.
01:04:40What brings you over today?
01:04:41Really?
01:04:41I just...
01:04:42needed to see a friend.
01:04:43But I couldn't stay.
01:04:45Every second in that house felt like suffocation.
01:04:47I needed to escape.
01:04:48Just curious, Miss Clark.
01:04:49Does the surprise I planned for Lila make you feel any pressure?
01:04:52Did I somehow offend you?
01:04:53If something at the last party rubbed you the wrong way, just come out with it.
01:04:55I'll fix it if I can.
01:04:56What do you mean, Miss Dua?
01:04:56Sposs the time, then she Lila on like she means nothing.
01:04:58Now, what exactly are you getting at?
01:05:00You said you'd make it up to me.
01:05:01In what way?
01:05:01I snapped and pushed him hard.
01:05:03The sound of him hitting the wall felt real and satisfying.
01:05:06You really couldn't wait until tonight, huh, babe?
01:05:08Tell me, when have we ever used this brand?
01:05:10Oh, that?
01:05:10Just a new brand I grabbed.
01:05:11Figured we could mix things up, but looks like you beat me to it.
01:05:14Funny.
01:05:14You took your sweet time walking Catherine out.
01:05:15What held you up?
01:05:16I know you look up to Catherine's talent, Lila.
01:05:18Maybe it's best you keep a bit of space from her.
01:05:19Lila wasn't blind.
01:05:20She was seeing through the lies.
01:05:21That small piece of evidence would crack everything apart.
01:05:24If something's wrong, you can lean on me.
01:05:35Why are her hands so red?
01:05:37What did she touch?
01:05:38Pearson?
01:05:39She knows it's a trap, yet she goes.
01:05:41You're going to want to hear this.
01:05:42Get to the point.
01:05:43I dropped by the club where Pearson Hammond used to work.
01:05:45Guess who I ran into?
01:05:45Mrs. Nash.
01:05:46What the hell was she doing there?
01:05:47She booked a few of their top-est orders and reserved the VIP suite.
01:05:50Quite the experience.
01:05:50Give me your measurements.
01:05:53Five inches.
01:05:55Five inched?
01:05:56Six and a half.
01:05:57Four inches.
01:05:59Four and a half.
01:06:00You.
01:06:01Name your price.
01:06:02Five thousand deposit.
01:06:04Balance on completion.
01:06:05Full payment upon satisfaction.
01:06:08Deal.
01:06:09Bates wheel stops at my feet.
01:06:14Mrs. Nash.
01:06:15Fancy meeting you.
01:06:16Need a ride?
01:06:17No thanks.
01:06:18Are you sure?
01:06:20His presence cuts like ice.
01:06:22If he can't change your mind, what about me?
01:06:25How did you track me down?
01:06:27Get in the car.
01:06:29Didn't take you for someone with such stamina.
01:06:31Four men in one night?
01:06:32Are you spying on me?
01:06:33Are you cheating on me?
01:06:34The wrong idea.
01:06:35Mr. Nash and I just wrapped up a meeting nearby.
01:06:37Total coincidence running into you.
01:06:38Impressive.
01:06:39The Nash family really is expanding into every imaginable sector, isn't it?
01:06:42Good.
01:06:43You asked for this.
01:06:46Some truths hide in silence.
01:06:50The rules were set by you.
01:06:53That's right.
01:06:54Just closed the deal.
01:06:56I own it now.
01:06:57You?
01:06:58Bought that nightclub?
01:06:59Why would you do that?
01:07:00I got bored.
01:07:01Decided to expand into something new.
01:07:03No big deal.
01:07:04We agreed to keep our personal lives separate.
01:07:06Did I stop you?
01:07:07He always makes it sound so reasonable.
01:07:12Relax, I'll delete the video.
01:07:15How thoughtful of you.
01:07:18You're welcome.
01:07:19And if your dad asks where I am?
01:07:22I'll tell him the truth, booking four male escorts.
01:07:25I wasn't hiring them for myself!
01:07:28Then explain that to my dad.
01:07:33Okay, we'll go there.
01:07:35You could have at least asked me first.
01:07:37Then don't come.
01:07:38I'll go alone.
01:07:44Tough day at work, sweetheart?
01:07:46She's just tired.
01:07:47From the bedroom gymnastics.
01:07:49I nearly choked on my own breath.
01:07:51Dad, heard of the nightclub on Hillside Road?
01:07:56The Gigalos were too noisy.
01:07:58You don't need to tell me about every little business purchase.
01:08:01That rare winter storm seemed to me.
01:08:04Thunder jolted me away, and I instinctively reached for comfort.
01:08:08I realized that no matter how much he torments me, I still depend on him.
01:08:12It's our curse.
01:08:13What's wrong?
01:08:13And also our salvation.
01:08:17It's only Thunder.
01:08:20Why are you leaving?
01:08:22I won't leave.
01:08:28Sorry.
01:08:29I had a nightmare.
01:08:31The thunder scared me, and I lost my senses for a bit.
01:08:35And then what?
01:08:36Pretend none of it happened?
01:08:43The housekeeper said you've been practicing piano at a studio.
01:08:47Yeah.
01:08:47Then stay home and play a few pieces for me today.
01:08:50But there's no piano at home.
01:08:52I'll have one sent over now.
01:08:54Is piano business really on standby all night?
01:08:56It's dawn, and everyone should be asleep.
01:08:59Yet you made one call, and this arrived like magic.
01:09:01VIPs don't just get round-the-clock service.
01:09:03They're treated like royalty.
01:09:04They call to ask about our schedules.
01:09:06So are you impressed by my wealth, or annoyed I ruined someone's sleep?
01:09:09Both.
01:09:09So you pay to practice at a piano studio?
01:09:11I do.
01:09:12Lila claims you're nearly a master, but you're still in training?
01:09:14I'm still a beginner.
01:09:15Others are way ahead, like standing on top of a skyscraper while I'm still climbing floor
01:09:18by floor.
01:09:19Do you like it?
01:09:19I do.
01:09:20Then stop going to piano studio to practice.
01:09:21From now on, do it here.
01:09:22I'll arrange a tutor.
01:09:27I'm done practicing.
01:09:29Have you finished work?
01:09:30There's always something else that needs handling.
01:09:32You've changed lately.
01:09:34You're being unusually kind.
01:09:35What's going on?
01:09:39I thought it was just a simple light.
01:09:44Want to give it a shot?
01:09:51Easy now.
01:09:52You're supposed to take a puff, not swallow it whole.
01:09:58I didn't expect him to kiss me, and I didn't expect this kiss to make me forget to breathe.
01:10:04Breakfast is ready?
01:10:06Oh my.
01:10:08It's not what it looks like.
01:10:16Maybe our turn's coming sooner than you think.
01:10:25I tried not to think about him, but that kiss, that touch, still lingers on my lips.
01:10:35Julian handled my father, protected me, paid me well.
01:10:38Have you ever chased after someone before?
01:10:40Back in high school, I had a thing for this popular guy.
01:10:43Chased him around for a bit, but once he turned me down, I lost interest fast.
01:10:47What if someone you once liked suddenly came back, hiding behind a fake identity, and somehow
01:10:51you ended up in bed with him?
01:10:53How would you face him after that without feeling humiliated?
01:10:57Oh honey, you definitely to the right person.
01:10:59If that were me, I wouldn't say a thing.
01:11:02I'd keep up the act and enjoy the sex until I got bored with it.
01:11:11Finally found time in your busy schedule?
01:11:14Tried a new recipe.
01:11:15Want to taste it?
01:11:17Cream recalled Mr. A.
01:11:19Julian's allergy rules him out.
01:11:21What's with the sudden kindness?
01:11:23No drugs in it.
01:11:25You bought me that piano.
01:11:27Consider this a thank you.
01:11:30That wasn't real cream.
01:11:31No reason to take meds.
01:11:33Seriously?
01:11:33Why didn't you take any medicine?
01:11:35How did you know?
01:11:36Because you wouldn't risk it.
01:11:37You wouldn't use real cream.
01:11:39Not on me.
01:11:39You wouldn't let me suffer.
01:11:40Even if you're testing me, you couldn't bear it.
01:11:47Who said I was testing you?
01:11:50His name lit up the screen.
01:11:52My heart skipped a beat.
01:11:53The nightmare was far from over.
01:11:55Kathy, how's my surprise coming along?
01:11:58Let's talk over dinner.
01:12:00I'll swing by around 11.
01:12:02Yet I had to stay strong.
01:12:03Sure.
01:12:04Just send me the restaurant address.
01:12:06I'll meet you there.
01:12:08What I didn't know was, at this very moment, he was silently watching my every move.
01:12:14Sir, are you sure it's a good idea to let Mrs. Nash deal with that man on her own?
01:12:17She kicked me in the shin once so hard I limped for a week.
01:12:22Trust me, dealing with a gigolo like Pearson Lewis is nothing she can't handle.
01:12:26Sir, Mrs. Nash is brilliant.
01:12:28When Pearson tried to hold her hand, she tore off the tablecloth.
01:12:30A candle nearly burned him.
01:12:32She pretended to panic, stomping it out while apologizing politely.
01:12:35That was the first time I saw such a genuine smile on him.
01:12:38But that smile pierced another woman's heart.
01:12:41In the late night hospital room, I held my brother's clean underwear,
01:12:44only to let him see what I'd hidden most.
01:12:46Why are you here?
01:12:47You're the one taking care of this?
01:12:49There's a caregiver for him, isn't there?
01:12:51She's off duty right now.
01:12:52I came by to visit and saw he'd wet himself, so I didn't want him catching a...
01:12:56Please, have a seat.
01:12:58They don't need to do that.
01:13:00That won't be necessary.
01:13:01I'm taking Catherine home.
01:13:02Yes, of course.
01:13:03Go on, Kathy.
01:13:05As I sat in Julian's car, my phone kept buzzing.
01:13:09Messages from my stepmother were always like this sweet yet stabbing,
01:13:12each one a reminder of how much I owed her.
01:13:15And him, his care was always like this, hidden beneath cold words.
01:13:20Thanks for coming to get me tonight.
01:13:22Didn't want you to reflect badly on me.
01:13:24Those marks.
01:13:25What are they from?
01:13:26Wild night.
01:13:27A woman left them there.
01:13:28W-which woman?
01:13:32I thought I was playing him, but little did I know, I was the one walking into his trap.
01:13:37Wait!
01:13:37I'm not ready!
01:13:38Let's talk!
01:13:52His strength far exceeded my imagination.
01:13:57Next time, I'll let you see my face.
01:14:02After it was over, he said something that completely threw me off.
01:14:06Meanwhile, an evil alliance plotted a greater betrayal.
01:14:09Screw this up, and I'll forward those photos to Lila.
01:14:12You're just a parasite!
01:14:13You've got cash.
01:14:15Maybe you should fund my lifestyle.
01:14:21Bring the dress to my studio.
01:14:23It's in a hotel.
01:14:25This time, I brought backup.
01:14:28Pearson, your nightmare has only just begun.
01:14:31He thought he'd won, but little did he know my backup had arrived.
01:14:35Perfect.
01:14:38And who might you be?
01:14:41I'm here for the dress fitting.
01:14:44Please, come in.
01:14:45While he was busy lost in lust, I was busy collecting every piece of evidence against him.
01:14:51Pearson, this game I won.
01:14:54Thought I was a helpless lamb?
01:14:56No, I'm a hunter in sheep's clothing.
01:14:58Pearson, your karma has arrived.
01:15:02That condescending smile showed me his true colors.
01:15:05He wanted to use my reputation to satisfy his twisted desires.
01:15:09I like you.
01:15:10I want to sleep with you.
01:15:12Clear enough?
01:15:13Hidden camera.
01:15:14Force me, film it, then spread it?
01:15:17Sharp.
01:15:18Scared to be seen as a slut?
01:15:19And what about Lila?
01:15:20Going to throw away your golden ticket for this?
01:15:23I'll say you drugged me.
01:15:25She's so in love with me, she'll believe whatever I say.
01:15:29I had just left the battlefield, but another hunter was already waiting.
01:15:33She thought she had dirt on me, but she didn't know she was walking into another trap.
01:15:37Caught you!
01:15:38Julian!
01:15:39Catherine's in bed with a man right now!
01:15:40Didn't learn your lesson?
01:15:42Want another?
01:15:44Yes.
01:15:45Take a look.
01:15:46Isn't this your wife?
01:15:48This photo doesn't feel right.
01:15:53Let's go check it out.
01:15:55Eloise followed me for a month, waiting for this moment she thought she had dirt on me, but walked right
01:16:00into my trap.
01:16:01Miss Grant!
01:16:01What are you doing here?
01:16:02Meeting my boyfriend, what about you?
01:16:04Catherine's with a man in this room, who's staking you or us.
01:16:07Seems like your show.
01:16:08Go on, Mr. Nash.
01:16:09Ladies first.
01:16:10The door opened, and everyone saw the mess inside, yet truth often hides in the most unexpected places.
01:16:16Too intense.
01:16:17Julian, better not look.
01:16:19Still hiding?
01:16:20Let's see.
01:16:23I never would have thought that even Eloise, who is usually outspoken, was completely stunned by this sudden shock.
01:16:29And you are?
01:16:32Why should I explain myself?
01:16:34Did you ask before barging into my private space?
01:16:37Where's Catherine?
01:16:37What's going on?
01:16:38Catherine?
01:16:39Never heard the name.
01:16:40I can tell that this man has just finished a private meeting and is about to tidy his appearance.
01:16:45He immediately remembered that this person was a former colleague he had met at the nightclub, who had been a
01:16:49dancer, homosexual, and had even dressed as a woman.
01:16:52No! No! No!
01:16:54Leela! Wait! Darling, don't go! Call a doctor!
01:16:58Of course it's you.
01:17:00No one else but Eloise would go to such lengths.
01:17:06I captured something entertaining.
01:17:08Just editing the video now.
01:17:09What video, you bitch?
01:17:11Give me the name of whoever set this up, and this video disappears.
01:17:16I'll tell you everything!
01:17:17Messing with you is the fun part. I already know who's behind it.
01:17:21Feeling that pounding in your chest, Eloise?
01:17:25Is that right?
01:17:26Is that right? People who live off cheeks rarely get a happy ending.
01:17:31Who's good who?
01:17:35Your Christmas present is ready. Would you like it sent to your place tomorrow?
01:17:38Who made it? I did.
01:17:43Lena, it was always real between us. Catherine did this. She's obsessed.
01:17:51You weren't nearly this loud the last time we met. And now you're blaming your disgrace on Catherine?
01:17:58But you did cross Catherine.
01:18:03She belongs to you. She's mine.
01:18:08Julian's statement had barely settled.
01:18:10When Louisa's complexion turned ghostly, Lila's gaze turned toward me. She wore that familiar, cunning smile.
01:18:16Get out of here!
01:18:17Feeling overwhelmed by guilt, Eloise tried to sneak away quietly. But Julian wasn't done with her yet.
01:18:24Miss Nash, your brother instructed me to take you home safely.
01:18:27I'm not going back! Let me out right now!
01:18:29She thought of Lawrence's rage, screaming and kicking. The driver relayed Julian's orders, polite yet firm.
01:18:35He said if you refuse to cooperate. Once Pearson confesses everything, the police will happily give you your own self.
01:18:42The driver stayed calm, issuing a final warning. Fear surged through her veins as she realized someone must have ticked
01:18:48off.
01:18:48Outside, the city blurred her freedom, slipping away.
01:18:52Mr. Nash, we've arrived. Miss Nash is in the back seat.
01:18:55Eloise was helped out of the car, by the driver and staggered too, toward the entrance of the manor.
01:19:00Her legs went weak, and she could barely stand.
01:19:02Julian, please.
01:19:03She glanced back, eyes despairing at her lost freedom.
01:19:07Eloise tried to flee, but the driver stopped her. The gate slammed shut, crushing her last hope.
01:19:16I'm her man. Did he really say that?
01:19:20You're staring like you're about to leap into my lap.
01:19:22When your sister burst in trying to expose me, your reaction was just... off. Why?
01:19:28I figured some of it out beforehand.
01:19:30Wait. How could you have possibly known?
01:19:33You really thought I bought that dump of a nightclub for my own entertainment? Feeling smug after shutting a lease
01:19:39down like that?
01:19:40Honestly? Yeah.
01:19:42Then come upstairs and cook something. We should toast your little victory.
01:19:45Come on. Just a bit more space. One last box. I promise.
01:19:51What the hell are you doing?
01:19:53I didn't do anything.
01:19:54Seems the blade found its seat.
01:19:57You've put in a lot of effort. Swing by my assistant's office before you head out. There's a bonus waiting
01:20:01for you.
01:20:02I'm not hunting the serve. I've fueled a dessert.
01:20:07It was too rich.
01:20:10Have you eaten yet, Casey?
01:20:12Do you want to turn my office into a cafe?
01:20:18What do you want?
01:20:19No. I only wanted to be sure Aline was okay.
01:20:23According to her, you were the one who came up with the plan to have Pearson set Catherine up.
01:20:28Let me show you something. You'll see what really happened.
01:20:32You kept that recording, huh? Was it only meant for today or did you always intend to wield it against
01:20:36a leash?
01:20:37Julian, I swear I wasn't trying to hurt her. I only saved that recording to protect myself. It wasn't meant
01:20:41for-
01:20:41Cut the act. You and I both know exactly what games you're playing.
01:20:44Julian, I didn't mean I'm sorry.
01:20:46You can keep that apology. Give it to Elise.
01:21:02Mrs. Nash prepared it herself.
01:21:17I never thought the sound of my terrible piano playing would be something he'd actually enjoy.
01:21:21But looking at him there, so relaxed in my chaos, I wondered what kind of person finds comfort in discord.
01:21:28Come to me.
01:21:30I have work to finish. If it's important, we'll talk later.
01:21:36Wrapped up your music, Mrs. Nash? Why not sit with Mr. Nash and have some fruit?
01:21:40Why would I care about him? Hold on. He requested for pineapple? Why would a man who can't stand anything
01:21:47sweet and sour suddenly ask for it?
01:21:49When Catherine returned, did she say anything?
01:21:55I'll see you inside.
01:22:02You think this is over? Don't kid yourself! As long as I'm around, you'll never have peace!
01:22:08You and Julian share the same father, but the gap between you two is staggering.
01:22:12You've been used as a tool, left to deal with the fallout, and you still don't see it.
01:22:18Ilaish, my brother's finally getting a break from work. He's been under so much pressure.
01:22:21I picked up a really nice bottle of wine. When you're feeling better, do not bring it over and share
01:22:25a drink with him.
01:22:30Why do you smell like pineapple?
01:22:32Eating a lot of it makes things taste better.
01:22:34Taste better? What things?
01:22:36You'd regret asking.
01:22:37Poop sweet? Wait, oh my god Julian, don't tell me you've actually tried po-
01:22:40Luisa dropped by the firm earlier. She was asking about Elena.
01:22:46Julian!
01:22:49His lips were soft against mine, and for a moment, just a moment, I forgot about everything else.
01:22:54But then reality crashed back.
01:22:56Wednesday night, be there, same location.
01:22:59That explanation he gave me, was it really an explanation?
01:23:03The hotel manager will be waiting for you in the lobby. She'll take you upstairs, I'll be up in half
01:23:07an hour.
01:23:20Mr. A asked me to give this to you. If you don't mind, I'll need to cover your eyes before
01:23:25I take you to the room.
01:23:26The soft fabric felt just like Mr. A's blindfold.
01:23:30Blindfolded already?
01:23:32Did Mr. Nash switch rooms this time?
01:23:35Yes.
01:23:36Uh, I mean, who's Mr. Nash?
01:23:46From this moment on, whatever I tell you to do, you do it. No questions.
01:23:51I waited, keeping the blindfold on. Giving him control showed my trust. The sofa relaxed me, but my heart raced.
01:24:07Mr. A?
01:24:11Fear overwhelmed me. As his lips touched my collarbone mole, I felt safe.
01:24:17So, do you know who I am now? Still don't get it? Still don't know who's making you feel like
01:24:23this?
01:24:23You jerk!
01:24:24Tell me, who's the monster to you? Mr. A? Or Julian Nash?
01:24:29Mr. A!
01:24:30Doesn't make a difference.
01:24:44There had been many nights like this.
01:24:47Waiting.
01:24:48No matter how sleepy or exhausted I was.
01:24:52Just for the chance to see him.
01:25:01Julian, wear your coat. You're freezing. Take care of yourself.
01:25:04It's nothing.
01:25:11Do you love her?
01:25:15I'm not into love stories.
01:25:16I've been doing lately, but I can't let her always suffer. Can I?
01:25:34So this was Mr. A's secret.
01:25:38Mr. Nash is back.
01:25:45Did you have anything to eat yet?
01:25:47Want some coffee?
01:25:48Sure.
01:25:49I didn't want to admit it, but my body remembered.
01:25:52I knew what I wanted, but I was afraid to admit it.
01:25:56He remembered, and I actually felt touched.
01:25:58Happy now? Let me see your neck.
01:26:01I know he hates oranges.
01:26:03Stick out your tongue.
01:26:08It's still daytime, and we're right by the door. The housekeeper hasn't even left yet.
01:26:13He pressed closer, and I had no choice but to surrender in broad daylight.
01:26:17She knows better. She's long gone by now.
01:26:22Okay.
01:26:27The moment his fingertips pressed against my neck, I knew I wouldn't escape unscathed.
01:26:32Good girl.
01:26:35I thought it would escalate, but he only kissed my chin, toying with my shame.
01:26:39Are you kidding me?
01:26:43Why do I have to close my eyes?
01:26:46Just playing around.
01:26:48He turned my shame into a game.
01:26:50Kiss me, then I'm out of here, and left me to pick up the pieces.
01:26:59Need a ride?
01:27:00How come he's here? Did he make a special trip to get me?
01:27:03Get in. I'll take you home.
01:27:10He said he needed to go in and buy something.
01:27:13I just waited in the car.
01:27:16He's back, with that box in his hand.
01:27:19Didn't you already grab some at the mall before?
01:27:21Didn't get enough.
01:27:25His hand over mine warm, safe, like a dream I never want to wake from.
01:27:30Why now? You don't even know how to play.
01:27:33Just to kill time.
01:27:34Just to kill time, he says lightly, but ripples stir in my heart.
01:27:37And the phone rang, interrupting everything.
01:27:41Mr. Nash, it's Louisa's assistant.
01:27:42Something terrible has happened.
01:27:44What's going on?
01:27:45The client made a move on Louisa.
01:27:47He locked her in.
01:27:48Please, Mr. Nash, you have to come quickly.
01:27:50Send me the location.
01:27:51He suddenly got a call, then rushed off.
01:27:53No explanation, no goodbye.
01:27:58Julian?
01:27:59Have your assistant call Ernest.
01:28:03I'm the one who caused this.
01:28:05How much more of a mess are you planning to make?
01:28:19This is it. He said to come pick him up.
01:28:25The cold wind howled outside, drowning out all noise.
01:28:28She knew I would come all along.
01:28:31I couldn't hear what Julian was saying, and honestly, I was relieved.
01:28:34Because if I had heard what he said, I wasn't sure I'd have had strength to stay on my feet.
01:28:38I shouldn't have come.
01:28:42Would you like to call her?
01:28:46Forget it.
01:28:48I should have known someone else had already taken my place.
01:28:51I should have known earlier.
01:28:53It was foolish of me to rush over like that, all because of one brief phone call.
01:29:03Please, pick up the phone.
01:29:09From the moment I saw Louisa and Julian together, I knew my heart was already in tears.
01:29:16Madam!
01:29:17I didn't want anything from him, not even concern.
01:29:28I have a high fever.
01:29:29I don't need you.
01:29:31Gathering my last strength, I shoved him away with both palms.
