00:00:03My name is Chloe Bennett. Today is my wedding day.
00:00:07But my groom, Sebastian Sterling, is a man lying unconscious in bed.
00:00:11Miss Bennett, sign it if you're done reading. Mr. Sterling is waiting.
00:00:17I was supposed to sabotage the procedure.
00:00:21Exactly the way Adrian planned.
00:00:23Adrian, pick up. Please.
00:00:30But when I call him, he won't pick up. I have no choice but to sneak out and find him
00:00:34myself.
00:00:35I look through the crack in the door and freeze.
00:00:39The man wrapped around Vanessa is Adrian.
00:00:43Adrian, stay a little longer. Chloe's too busy to come looking for you.
00:00:49I'm worried she'll back out of the wedding. I need to keep an eye on her.
00:00:53She won't. We still have her mother's keepsakes. She wouldn't dare.
00:00:59True. With Victor dead, she's got nothing left.
00:01:03She has no choice.
00:01:06If you hadn't tampered with her father's medicine, none of this would have gone this smoothly.
00:01:20It feels like lightning tears right through me.
00:01:25The man I loved most killed my father.
00:01:31I wipe my tears and walk back to sign the consent form.
00:01:44You want the sterling fortune?
00:01:46I won't let you have it.
00:01:47I'll become the true Mrs. Sterling and I'll watch you both burn in hell.
00:02:02After the wedding, the housekeeper Martha leads me to Sebastian's room.
00:02:08Please.
00:02:14I stand by the bed, seeing my husband for the first time.
00:02:20Adrian said he was hideous, cruel, and crippled.
00:02:23But the man lying here is breathtakingly handsome, even unconscious.
00:02:27He exudes an air of nobility.
00:02:31Suddenly, the door bursts open.
00:02:34Adrian stumbles in, drunk, a bottle in his hand.
00:02:37Chloe, sorry I missed your call.
00:02:40Today was crazy.
00:02:42I force myself to play along.
00:02:45It's fine. I don't blame you.
00:02:48He locks the door and moves toward me.
00:02:50I knew you'd understand. You love me that much.
00:02:55Adrian, what are you doing?
00:02:56A wedding night is precious. Let's not waste it.
00:02:59He actually wants to force himself on me in my husband's room.
00:03:03Snap out of it. Don't forget our plan.
00:03:07I've changed my mind.
00:03:08If you carry my child, I still get this the sterling inheritance.
00:03:27Just as I'm about to lose it, Adrian freezes.
00:03:31He stares at something behind me, his voice trembling.
00:03:36Sebastian.
00:03:40Adrian bolts like he's seen a ghost.
00:03:45I switch on the light and look back at the bed.
00:03:50But Sebastian is still motionless.
00:03:54Hey, Sebastian?
00:03:55No one answers.
00:03:56I gently tuck his hand back under the covers.
00:03:59He doesn't stir.
00:04:00Was Adrian just panicking and seeing things?
00:04:04I lock the door and sit by the bed, keeping watch.
00:04:08Eventually, exhaustion pulls me under.
00:04:16The next morning, the first thing I do is touch my neck.
00:04:22In the mirror, there's a clear red mark.
00:04:26That bastard Adrian.
00:04:29As soon as I come downstairs, Adrian pulls me into a small room.
00:04:33Did the cripple wake up?
00:04:36No.
00:04:43Good.
00:04:44I must have been too drunk.
00:04:46I thought I saw him open his eyes and glare at me.
00:04:48He relaxes, putting on his gentle facade again.
00:04:51Sorry about last night.
00:04:52I had too much to drink.
00:04:54I was out of line.
00:04:55It's fine.
00:04:56I swallow my hatred and keep playing along.
00:04:58Because I'm going to send them to hell myself.
00:05:02After breakfast, Richard Sterling takes me to the Sterling Family Hospital for the insemination procedure.
00:05:08Before the surgery, Adrian gives me a look.
00:05:12Don't forget our plan.
00:05:13I smile at him, then turn and walk into the operating room with a cold face.
00:05:18For revenge, to reclaim what's mine, I have to grit my teeth and move forward.
00:05:30The procedure went smoothly, but we'll need to wait a month to confirm if insemination was successful.
00:05:36The procedure succeeds.
00:05:41Adrian's face darkens on the spot.
00:05:46Back at the mansion, he drags me straight into the garden.
00:05:56We agreed you'd ruin their procedure.
00:05:59Why didn't you do anything?
00:06:00I push his hand away and answer coldly.
00:06:03Shows him respect.
00:06:04I'm your sister-in-law now.
00:06:06Sister-in-law?
00:06:08Are you screwing with me?
00:06:09He's furious, his grip tightening on my wrist.
00:06:12You think latching onto Sebastian gets you out of this?
00:06:16So what?
00:06:17Even if he dies, I'll still be your sister-in-law.
00:06:21The rightful Mrs. Sterling.
00:06:23My words strike a nerve.
00:06:24He raises his hand.
00:06:26Just then, the servant rushes over.
00:06:27Mr. Sebastian Sterling is awake.
00:06:29He wants to see you.
00:06:33I hurry back to the villa with the servant, my mind in chaos.
00:06:37Did he hear me and Adrian last night?
00:06:39If he did, they say Sebastian is ruthless.
00:06:41No one who crosses him ends well.
00:06:46I step into the room.
00:06:48Richard is there.
00:06:49Doctors crowd around Sebastian, examining him.
00:06:54He reclines against the headboard.
00:06:58His expression cold and distant.
00:07:00His handsome face frosty.
00:07:03Who is she?
00:07:05She's your wife.
00:07:08I don't remember having a wife.
00:07:10I arranged it.
00:07:11It's already public.
00:07:12Mr. Sterling has lost sensation in his legs.
00:07:15He may never stand again.
00:07:16Understood.
00:07:17You're dismissed.
00:07:19After the doctors leave, Richard turns to me.
00:07:22Chloe, you'll take care of Sebastian from now on.
00:07:28This marriage means nothing.
00:07:29I'll have my lawyer handle the divorce.
00:07:31Divorce is not an option!
00:07:34Richard Sterling, what gives you the right to decide for me?
00:07:39Chloe just underwent the procedure.
00:07:41She may already be carrying your child.
00:07:43After a long pause, he chuckles a light, dismissive sound.
00:07:46Miss Bennett, which do you prefer?
00:07:48Surgical abortion or the pill?
00:07:50I finally realize this man is even more terrifying awake than he was unconscious.
00:07:56I freeze, stunned that he wants me to abort the child.
00:08:01What kind of nonsense is that?
00:08:03That's a Sterling heir!
00:08:05The Sterling family has plenty of heirs.
00:08:07We don't need this one.
00:08:10You ungrateful brat!
00:08:14Richard swallows his rage and storms out.
00:08:17I'm left alone with Sebastian.
00:08:19I stand there nervously, wondering what to say to break the ice.
00:08:23Mr. Sterling, my name is Chloe Bennett.
00:08:26I'm your future roommate.
00:08:29What exactly can you help me with?
00:08:33I can push your wheelchair.
00:08:36The moment the words leave my mouth, I know I'm done for.
00:08:42I can cook too!
00:08:44Whatever you want, I can make it!
00:08:48Before I finish, he yanks me straight into his lap.
00:08:51My whole body goes rigid.
00:08:53He leans in whispering in my ear, his tone dangerously intimate.
00:08:57You seem afraid of me.
00:09:02No, I'm not.
00:09:03But then his hand slides to the red mark on my neck.
00:09:06In that instant, ice runs down my spine.
00:09:10Last night, I should have strangled you right in front of Adrian.
00:09:13His hand closes around my throat.
00:09:15The air is ripped from my lungs.
00:09:17I realize with horror, Sebastian was awake last night.
00:09:20He heard everything.
00:09:22His hand tightens around my throat.
00:09:24I struggle desperately as my vision starts going dark.
00:09:28I finally shove him off and collapse to the floor.
00:09:32You'd better pray you're not carrying my child.
00:09:34And if you are, I won't let it be born.
00:09:37Get out.
00:09:38Don't let me see you again.
00:09:39I practically run for my life.
00:09:41But the second I get out, I slam into a man in a suit.
00:09:46Sorry.
00:09:47I don't even look up.
00:09:48I just run.
00:09:53After the door shuts,
00:09:54I hear the man's voice inside.
00:09:56Boss, the doctor says your body's fine.
00:09:59With rehab, your legs can fully recover.
00:10:01Right now, everyone believes you are crippled.
00:10:03He's not crippled?
00:10:05Watching prey walk into the trap and then sink into despair?
00:10:09Isn't that more interesting?
00:10:12I stand outside that door,
00:10:14my whole body going cold.
00:10:16He's pretending to be disabled
00:10:18and waiting for everyone to destroy themselves.
00:10:21My husband isn't weak.
00:10:22He's a monster.
00:10:25I hide in my room alone,
00:10:27my mind a complete mess.
00:10:29I thought marrying a dying vegetable
00:10:30would secure my place as Mrs. Sterling.
00:10:33But now my husband is awake
00:10:34and he's a psychopath who could kill me at any moment.
00:10:38While I'm spiraling, news about an auction pops up on my phone
00:10:41and the ruby necklace in the photo,
00:10:44I recognize it instantly.
00:10:45It belonged to my mother, Gloria.
00:10:48You even plan to sell this.
00:10:49The more I think about it,
00:10:51the angrier I get.
00:10:52I decide to go back to the Bennett house tomorrow
00:10:54and take back everything my mother left behind.
00:10:57I can't get anything back on my own
00:10:59unless Sebastian goes with me.
00:11:03Early the next morning,
00:11:04I stand outside his door and force myself to knock.
00:11:09Sebastian, I...
00:11:10Get lost!
00:11:11Sebastian wouldn't see me,
00:11:13so I head back to the Bennett house alone in the rain.
00:11:18The first person I see when the door opens is Adrian.
00:11:24Chloe?
00:11:25What are you doing here?
00:11:26Before I can answer,
00:11:27Gloria rushes over.
00:11:28Chloe, you're back.
00:11:31It's pouring outside.
00:11:32Come in.
00:11:33The more affectionately they smiled,
00:11:35the more nauseating it made me feel.
00:11:37Chloe,
00:11:38what brings you here today?
00:11:41I'm here to retrieve my mother's belongings.
00:11:46What belongings?
00:11:47Didn't you take everything already?
00:11:49Don't play dumb.
00:11:50I saw my mother's necklace on an auction site.
00:11:52You're selling it.
00:11:53Hand over the rest.
00:11:54Your father left debts before his passing.
00:11:56I sold things to pay them off.
00:11:59Now that you're Mrs. Sterling,
00:12:01shouldn't you help the Bennett family?
00:12:03I push past her and head for the stairs.
00:12:05Gloria grabs me,
00:12:06refusing to let go.
00:12:07They're gone.
00:12:08All of them.
00:12:09Looking won't change that.
00:12:11All of them?
00:12:12Those earrings in your ears were my mother's too!
00:12:14Gloria instinctively covers her ears,
00:12:16then drops her hands in anger.
00:12:18So what if I took them?
00:12:19I raised her daughter for years.
00:12:20I deserve this.
00:12:22Shut up.
00:12:23You're not fit to speak her name.
00:12:25I seize the moment
00:12:27and rip the earring from Gloria's right ear.
00:12:29How dare you!
00:12:35Vanessa rushes at me,
00:12:36ready to slap my face.
00:12:38A deep, cold voice cuts through the chaos.
00:12:46Quite a commotion.
00:12:48What are you doing to my wife?
00:12:50What are you doing to my wife?
00:12:54What are you doing to my wife?
00:12:56Everyone freezes.
00:12:57I look up and see Sebastian in his wheelchair,
00:13:00looking like a king here to collect blood.
00:13:03Still mad at me?
00:13:04He actually smiles at me.
00:13:06This man changes faces faster than anyone I've ever met.
00:13:09It was just a tiny argument this morning.
00:13:11You knew I couldn't move around easily,
00:13:13yet you left me behind.
00:13:14That was cruel.
00:13:15He plays the loving husband
00:13:16while squeezing my hands so hard
00:13:18I can barely feel it.
00:13:20Sebastian, it's all a misunderstanding.
00:13:23Vanessa was just messing around with Chloe.
00:13:26You don't get to explain for Vanessa.
00:13:28Chloe's your sister-in-law.
00:13:30Show some respect.
00:13:31Sorry.
00:13:33Apology accepted.
00:13:34Since Chloe is my wife now,
00:13:36her property is marital property too.
00:13:39Here are the asset division papers
00:13:40for Mrs. Chloe Sterling's mother's property
00:13:41and her father's remaining estate.
00:13:43If you have no objections, please sign.
00:13:46Gloria and Vanessa go pale,
00:13:47staring at the documentary.
00:13:49For the first time,
00:13:51I feel like I've really latched onto
00:13:52the most dangerous man alive.
00:13:56Mr. Sterling,
00:13:58you can't really love Chloe, can you?
00:13:59She dated Adrian for three years.
00:14:01My heart clenches.
00:14:03I glance at Sebastian instinctively.
00:14:05His face darkens.
00:14:06His lips press into a thin line.
00:14:08She was obsessed with Adrian!
00:14:10Now that he's with me,
00:14:11she married you out of spite!
00:14:13Don't let her fool you!
00:14:15I know.
00:14:16So what?
00:14:17Chloe is my wife now.
00:14:18The past is none of my concern.
00:14:20I walk up to Vanessa
00:14:22and slap her across the face.
00:14:24That's a warning.
00:14:25Adrian is trash I threw away.
00:14:27You can have him.
00:14:28But if you come after me again,
00:14:29Vanessa,
00:14:30I won't let it slide.
00:14:31Vanessa's eyes redden with fury.
00:14:33She raises her hand to strike back.
00:14:35Enough!
00:14:37You don't get to touch my wife.
00:14:41On the way back,
00:14:42I can't stop replaying that line.
00:14:45Enough!
00:14:45You don't get to touch my wife.
00:14:47I hold back as long as I can.
00:14:49Then I ask,
00:14:50Why did you say that back there?
00:14:52Which part?
00:14:52You want a divorce.
00:14:54And?
00:14:54Then why protect me?
00:14:56He turns toward me and suddenly smiles.
00:14:58What do you think?
00:14:59Maybe because I've started liking you.
00:15:01My whole body goes still.
00:15:02You-
00:15:03Don't flatter yourself.
00:15:05I will never love you.
00:15:06Every trace of heat leaves my face.
00:15:10Good.
00:15:10Because I'd never love you either.
00:15:13Not in this lifetime.
00:15:14I watched the brilliant city lights outside the car,
00:15:17yet the inside felt like an isolated island cut off from the world.
00:15:22I lock myself in my room, sliding down against the door.
00:15:26Once I calm down, regret sets in.
00:15:28I shouldn't have mouthed off to him.
00:15:30That evening, I decide to cook for Sebastian and Olive Branch.
00:15:33But he's not in his bedroom, so I head for the study.
00:15:36The door is half open.
00:15:38I assume he's not there.
00:15:39The second I step in, a cold voice cuts through the room.
00:15:43Who let you in?
00:15:45I freeze on the spot.
00:15:50I just came to bring you food.
00:15:52I didn't know this room was off limits.
00:15:54I don't want an explanation.
00:15:55He grabs the tray and hurls it across the room.
00:15:59Soup spills everywhere.
00:16:02Get out.
00:16:03Do it again, and you'll be out of this house.
00:16:06The door slams shut in my face.
00:16:08I stand outside the door, and for the first time, I really think,
00:16:11I can't survive by relying on him.
00:16:13I need a job.
00:16:18I used to think I had time.
00:16:21Not anymore.
00:16:23I don't have my diploma.
00:16:26I don't have income, and I definitely don't have a choice.
00:16:33That night, I reopened the job sites.
00:16:37I've sent out countless resumes, and my inbox is still dead.
00:16:41Right when I'm about to give up, I see a listing from BRD.
00:16:45Overseas degree, multilingual, management background.
00:16:48I fit nearly every requirement.
00:16:51I fit nearly every requirement.
00:16:52BRD.
00:16:53It's a top-tier company.
00:16:55If I get in, I can finally stand on my own.
00:16:58I submit my resume with zero expectations.
00:17:06The next afternoon, I get an email.
00:17:10An interview invert?
00:17:12I read it three times before I believe it.
00:17:14Since marrying into the Sterling family, this is the first real way out I've seen.
00:17:20On interview day, I dress as sharply as I can.
00:17:23In a place like this, first impressions decide everything.
00:17:26BRD Tower.
00:17:27I stand at the base, looking up at the tallest building in the city.
00:17:32As I'm searching for the interview room, I hear a familiar wheelchair rolling sound.
00:17:37I look up and see a silhouette.
00:17:40It looks way too much like Sebastian.
00:17:43No way.
00:17:44I can't help following.
00:17:46Ma'am, this area is restricted.
00:17:48Who just went in there?
00:17:49Our CEO.
00:17:51I try to keep asking, but he cuts in with a smile.
00:17:54You're on the wrong floor.
00:17:55Your interview is on the 66th floor.
00:17:59By the time I reach 66, the interview has already started.
00:18:08And then it gets even worse.
00:18:13The same man from 99 is there.
00:18:16He's seated in the center, the lead interviewer.
00:18:19The interview begins.
00:18:21He asks sharp questions.
00:18:26No diploma?
00:18:28Then your education is incomplete.
00:18:31But you studied at a top overseas university, speaks multiple languages, have a good resume.
00:18:38I see you're married.
00:18:40Married so young?
00:18:42Yes.
00:18:43May I ask what your husband does?
00:18:46He's currently employed.
00:18:48I guess you could call him a freeloader.
00:18:50I can't reveal Sebastian's identity.
00:18:53The man bursts out laughing.
00:18:58My face falls.
00:19:00His laughter feels like an insult.
00:19:02Is that funny to you?
00:19:07My apologies.
00:19:09I didn't mean to offend.
00:19:10It's just that a woman as capable as you, marrying an unemployed man seems like such a pity.
00:19:16That's my private business.
00:19:17If we're done, I'm leaving.
00:19:20I get up and leave.
00:19:22Then he actually follows me out.
00:19:24Sorry.
00:19:25I was out of line.
00:19:26I actually admire you.
00:19:29If you ever need help, come to me.
00:19:31He presses a business card into my hand and leaves.
00:19:34I look down.
00:19:35Ryan Parker, vice president of BRD.
00:19:38My mind goes blank.
00:19:39A vice president personally interviewing for an assistant role and then chasing me down to hand me his card.
00:19:46The thought sends a chill across my scalp.
00:19:48Meanwhile, on the 99th floor, inside the CEO's office.
00:19:53Well, look at that.
00:19:54The unemployed husband.
00:20:02I search Ryan Parker online.
00:20:04Elite, vice president, perfect resume.
00:20:07Then I keep scrolling and find the current BRD CEO.
00:20:11There are almost no clear photos of him online.
00:20:14Just one blurry side profile.
00:20:16But the longer I stare at it, the more familiar it feels.
00:20:19What are you looking at?
00:20:21I nearly throw my phone across the room.
00:20:24Do you ever make noise when you walk?
00:20:25Only people doing something shaby get startled that easily.
00:20:30What was that?
00:20:32Nothing.
00:20:33Just an ad.
00:20:35You went out today?
00:20:37Yeah.
00:20:38Just wandered around.
00:20:39I felt uneasy under his gaze.
00:20:41But I gritted my teeth and maintained a calm exterior.
00:20:47That night, I get BRD's email.
00:20:50I open it.
00:20:52Rejected.
00:20:52I spent all day worrying about hidden intentions.
00:20:55And in the end, they didn't hire me at all.
00:21:00The next morning at breakfast, everyone shows up.
00:21:04Adrian is there.
00:21:04Evelyn is there, too.
00:21:06The moment I sit down, I know something's coming.
00:21:12Sebastian's health isn't good.
00:21:13He can't manage the company right now.
00:21:16I want Adrian to join the company and help carry the load.
00:21:18What a beautiful lie.
00:21:20What he really means is, Sebastian looks useless.
00:21:22So now's the perfect time to strip him of power.
00:21:24If you want to sideline me, just say it.
00:21:27Is that how you talk to your father?
00:21:30Everything I'm doing is for your own good.
00:21:32How noble of you.
00:21:34And your condition is?
00:21:36I'm trying my best to stay invisible when Sebastian suddenly speaks again.
00:21:39Fine.
00:21:40I'll agree.
00:21:41But on one condition.
00:21:43And your condition is?
00:21:45Chloe goes into the company, too.
00:21:48I nearly choke on my drink.
00:21:54Absurd!
00:21:55If you don't want me in the company, fine.
00:21:57But you can't throw someone like Chloe in there.
00:22:01My wife studied at a top overseas university, speaks multiple languages, and has a far better
00:22:07resume than you do.
00:22:09I freeze.
00:22:10He actually knows my background that clearly.
00:22:13So what?
00:22:14She doesn't even have her diploma.
00:22:16She can't even land a job.
00:22:19Then let's bet, Chloe and Adrian will both join SJ Entertainment and start as
00:22:24managers.
00:22:26Whoever brings in five million dollars first gets the director position.
00:22:30I accept.
00:22:31But Chloe goes in without using her status.
00:22:34And no matter what happens, you don't help her.
00:22:37I almost laugh from disbelief.
00:22:40Fine.
00:22:41From this moment on, I'm not just Mrs. Sterling anymore.
00:22:45I'm now the opponent Adrian has to beat.
00:22:48And I have no intention of losing.
00:22:54The next day, I officially join SJ Entertainment.
00:23:00I thought I'd start as a talent manager.
00:23:02Instead, the second I walk in, Lauren Pierce hits me with a power move.
00:23:07You're Chloe Bennett?
00:23:14I follow her further and further in, and something feels off.
00:23:22Then she takes me straight into the storage room.
00:23:28This is my workspation?
00:23:31What else would it be?
00:23:32Newbies start with grunt work.
00:23:34But I was hired as a manager.
00:23:37You?
00:23:42How am I supposed to let an experienced rookie manage talent?
00:23:48Take it or leave it.
00:23:50She walks off in her heels.
00:23:52I stand alone in that chaotic storage room and almost laugh from disbelief.
00:23:58This isn't onboarding.
00:24:00It's humiliation.
00:24:01But I have no intention of swallowing it.
00:24:06I spend the entire day stuck in storage.
00:24:08Carrying boxes, sorting props, organizing old posters.
00:24:11None of this is a manager's job.
00:24:13They're freezing me out on purpose.
00:24:15New girl, did you piss Lauren off?
00:24:17It was my first day.
00:24:19How would I even do that?
00:24:20Then it's not about her.
00:24:22Someone else doesn't want you getting comfortable.
00:24:25My stomach sinks.
00:24:26I don't even need to guess who.
00:24:28It has to be Adrian.
00:24:30That night, I get back to the mansion,
00:24:32step out of the shower,
00:24:34and find someone in my room.
00:24:38Sebastian?
00:24:40What are you doing in my room?
00:24:43Your room?
00:24:47Everything in this house belongs to me.
00:24:50He says it like it's obvious.
00:24:54So tell me,
00:24:55how was your first day?
00:24:57He clearly already knows.
00:24:59He just wants to hear me say it.
00:25:01This man didn't come to my room at night out of concern.
00:25:05He came to watch me squirm.
00:25:10The way he acts like he knows nothing
00:25:12makes me furious.
00:25:15Like you don't already know?
00:25:17Need help?
00:25:19None of your business.
00:25:21I can handle it myself.
00:25:22I say it and reach for the coffee in his hand.
00:25:25I just want him out of my room.
00:25:30Get out.
00:25:31I'm going to bed.
00:25:32But my hand slips.
00:25:33I lose my foot
00:25:34and my whole body pitches forward.
00:25:37Just before I hit the floor,
00:25:38a hand catches me.
00:25:40I fall straight into Sebastian's lap.
00:25:42Let me go.
00:25:45Weren't you the one who threw yourself at me?
00:25:47Heat rushes straight to my ears.
00:25:50Don't be ridiculous!
00:25:53Chloe.
00:25:55Are you trying to seduce me?
00:25:58I nearly explode on the spot.
00:26:00I swear at that moment,
00:26:02all I want to do is strangle him.
00:26:08I wrenched myself out of his lap,
00:26:10my face still burning.
00:26:13What is wrong with you?
00:26:15Then why are you blushing?
00:26:17Because it's hot.
00:26:19Oh.
00:26:22I thought maybe you'd finally started to like me.
00:26:25That line almost kills me.
00:26:27Keep dreaming.
00:26:28But he doesn't get angry at all.
00:26:29If anything, he seems amused.
00:26:31Adrian had you thrown into storage today.
00:26:35And you're just going to take it?
00:26:38I said,
00:26:40I'll handle it myself.
00:26:42Good.
00:26:45Then I'll be waiting to see that.
00:26:47He sets down the cup and rolls away.
00:26:49At the door, he turns back for one last look.
00:26:51Don't disappoint me.
00:26:54The second the door closes,
00:26:56I grit my teeth so hard it hurts.
00:26:59He's not here to help me.
00:27:00He's pushing me to hit back harder.
00:27:03The very next day,
00:27:05I catch Adrian opening a back door,
00:27:07Vanessa.
00:27:18The next day at lunch,
00:27:19I'm in the storage room with a boxed meal.
00:27:22Then one sentence from a co-worker stops me cold.
00:27:28You don't know?
00:27:37Vanessa Bennett is the company's newest signing.
00:27:40And Adrian is managing her himself.
00:27:43My hands freeze in mid-air.
00:27:46She hasn't even debuted yet,
00:27:47and she's already booked a campaign.
00:27:49We're both newcomers.
00:27:50Adrian is handing Vanessa premium resources,
00:27:53and I'm moving boxes in storage.
00:27:55Fair competition?
00:27:56I let out a cold laugh,
00:27:58toss down my lunch,
00:27:59and stand up.
00:28:00I want to see exactly how far he's gone for Vanessa.
00:28:03I follow the crowd all the way to the studio.
00:28:07The studio is packed.
00:28:10Vanessa is nearly an hour late
00:28:12and still acting spoiled.
00:28:14Didn't I tell you not to be late?
00:28:17It's just a small ad.
00:28:20What's the big deal?
00:28:22The brand she's mocking
00:28:23flew a designer in from Milan for this.
00:28:25I stand in the back and almost laugh.
00:28:27She's being handed resources
00:28:28and still acting insulted.
00:28:30Worse.
00:28:31Adrian is still cleaning up after her.
00:28:34The designs are so simple.
00:28:36They don't even look impressive.
00:28:38The second she says that,
00:28:40the foreign designer looks up at her.
00:28:42His eyes turn cold instantly.
00:28:44Vanessa doesn't notice a thing.
00:28:46In the next second,
00:28:47the designer starts walking toward me.
00:28:53The designer stops in front of me
00:28:55and says something in Italian with a smile.
00:28:57I pause for a second,
00:28:58then answer him in Italian.
00:28:59Grazie, signore.
00:29:00È un piagere lavorare.
00:29:01Actually, I understood every word.
00:29:05I understand instantly.
00:29:08Everything Vanessa said about the brand being cheap,
00:29:10he heard all of it.
00:29:13Keep it to yourself.
00:29:15Don't let them know.
00:29:17Understood.
00:29:17We exchange a smile,
00:29:19then he suddenly studies me for a moment.
00:29:21Would you like to be the face of my campaign instead?
00:29:23I go completely blank.
00:29:25Sorry.
00:29:26I'm a manager,
00:29:28not an artist.
00:29:29What a shame.
00:29:31You suit my work better than she does.
00:29:33Across the set,
00:29:35Vanessa is already looking our way.
00:29:37And she's clearly getting the wrong idea.
00:29:48Vanessa storms over in her heels.
00:29:52What are you doing?
00:29:54Who said you could talk to my brand partner?
00:29:56The second she raises her voice,
00:29:58everyone turns to look.
00:29:59I was having a normal conversation.
00:30:03A warehouse girl like you doesn't get to do that.
00:30:06I start to answer,
00:30:07but Ivan beats me to it.
00:30:09I was the one who approached her.
00:30:12And she understands my work better than you do.
00:30:15The whole set falls silent.
00:30:17Vanessa's face goes pale on the spot.
00:30:22Vanessa's just nervous.
00:30:23Adrian rushes in to smooth things over,
00:30:25but Ivan doesn't give him an inch.
00:30:28If you don't respect the work,
00:30:29I may reconsider this collaboration.
00:30:31That one sentence hits Adrian exactly where it hurts.
00:30:37The studio falls into total chaos.
00:30:41Adrian looks furious,
00:30:42and Lauren still tries to dump the mess on me.
00:30:44This was all a misunderstanding.
00:30:46Nathan suddenly appears and steps right in front of me.
00:30:48A misunderstanding?
00:30:49You're a department head.
00:30:51You don't get to make reckless calls
00:30:52without finding out the truth.
00:30:54That's negligence.
00:30:55Mr. Cole, I...
00:30:56You'll take a disciplinary mark
00:30:58and lose your bonus,
00:30:59and you'll apologize to Miss Bennett.
00:31:01Lauren's face freezes.
00:31:02I'm sorry.
00:31:03Her apology is barely louder than a whisper.
00:31:07Keep the fake apology.
00:31:09I just want to know
00:31:10if you've been freezing me out
00:31:11because of your own choice,
00:31:13or because someone told you to.
00:31:15When I say that,
00:31:16I look straight at Adrian.
00:31:18His face darkens instantly.
00:31:20I know he gets the message.
00:31:21This is only the beginning.
00:31:25After Lauren Pierce is forced to apologize,
00:31:28her face turns livid.
00:31:31I think she'll at least back off a little.
00:31:34Instead,
00:31:35she dumps a brand new disaster on me
00:31:38the very next second.
00:31:40Since you've been complaining
00:31:41about not getting real work,
00:31:43perfect.
00:31:45Perfect.
00:31:51We've got an artist
00:31:52who needs a manager.
00:31:54Who?
00:31:56She throws a file
00:31:58straight into my arms.
00:32:00Lana Hart.
00:32:02I open the file
00:32:03and the first thing I see
00:32:04is a wall of scandal headlines.
00:32:07Adultery.
00:32:08Publicly exposed by her ex.
00:32:10Public image collapse.
00:32:12The whole internet
00:32:13is tearing her apart.
00:32:19What?
00:32:20Scared to take it?
00:32:29You did this on purpose.
00:32:32Aren't you supposed to be so capable?
00:32:35Then let's see if you can drag
00:32:37this train wreck back up.
00:32:42I stare at her.
00:32:44and suddenly smile.
00:32:48Fine.
00:32:52I'll take it.
00:32:53She wants me stuck
00:32:54with a losing hand.
00:32:57Too bad.
00:33:01I plan to turn it
00:33:02into a royal flush.
00:33:08I take Lana's file
00:33:10and go meet her in person.
00:33:19The moment I open the door,
00:33:21the first thing I smell
00:33:22is alcohol.
00:33:25Lana is sitting on the couch,
00:33:27bare-faced,
00:33:28exhausted,
00:33:29and hollow-eyed.
00:33:36You're new?
00:33:39I'm your new manager,
00:33:41Chloe Bennett.
00:33:43I'm surprised the company
00:33:44even bothered sending anyone.
00:33:46I'm not here to tell you
00:33:47to give up.
00:33:47Then what are you here for?
00:33:49To ask you one question.
00:33:53Did you cheat?
00:33:55Or not?
00:33:57She stares at me
00:33:59for two seconds.
00:34:02Then she smashes her glass.
00:34:08No!
00:34:10I didn't do it!
00:34:13That reaction
00:34:14doesn't look fake.
00:34:17It looks like
00:34:18she's pushed too far
00:34:19for too long.
00:34:33The whole world
00:34:34thinks I'm filthy.
00:34:36But why should I admit
00:34:37to something I never did?
00:34:38I don't answer.
00:34:40I just hold her gaze.
00:34:41And suddenly,
00:34:42I think
00:34:44she might actually
00:34:45be innocent.
00:34:50After shouting
00:34:51that she didn't do it,
00:34:52Lana is trembling
00:34:53all over.
00:35:05Then what about
00:35:06the leaked video?
00:35:10That night,
00:35:11someone spiked
00:35:12my drink.
00:35:13When I woke up,
00:35:15Evan was beside me.
00:35:19What about Derek?
00:35:21He just happened
00:35:23to storm in
00:35:23with witnesses
00:35:24and the video
00:35:25leaked right after that.
00:35:28Too convenient.
00:35:30Convenient enough
00:35:31to scream set up.
00:35:33So you think
00:35:34Derek and Evan
00:35:35set you up together.
00:35:37Not think.
00:35:39I know they did.
00:35:42When she says that,
00:35:44her eyes are burning
00:35:45with hatred.
00:35:48Derek wants
00:35:49to ruin me.
00:35:50Evan traded me
00:35:51for opportunities.
00:35:52I close the file.
00:35:53In my mind,
00:35:54the picture is already forming.
00:35:56This isn't just
00:35:56a celebrity scandal.
00:35:58It's a calculated hunt.
00:35:59And if it's a setup,
00:36:01then somewhere in it,
00:36:02there's a crack.
00:36:05I look at Lana
00:36:06and finally ask
00:36:07the only question
00:36:08that matters.
00:36:09Do you still want
00:36:09your comeback?
00:36:10She pauses,
00:36:11like she didn't expect
00:36:12that question at all.
00:36:13Do you think
00:36:14I still have a chance?
00:36:16Yes.
00:36:20The whole internet
00:36:21hates me.
00:36:23Then we'll make them
00:36:24shut up.
00:36:24My own company
00:36:25is giving up on me?
00:36:26Then we'll make them
00:36:27regret it.
00:36:28She looks at me,
00:36:29and for the first time,
00:36:30something flickers back
00:36:31to life in her eyes.
00:36:32Why are you so confident?
00:36:34Because I know something
00:36:36better than you do.
00:36:38Being dragged into the mud
00:36:39doesn't mean
00:36:40you stay there forever.
00:36:43She doesn't answer.
00:36:45But the desperate look
00:36:47in her eyes
00:36:47is gone.
00:36:48I know it now.
00:36:50She wants to fight.
00:36:53Early the next morning,
00:36:55Lana texts me first.
00:36:56I want my comeback.
00:36:58The moment I read
00:36:58those four words,
00:36:59I'm wide awake.
00:37:01She's finally done
00:37:01giving up.
00:37:02But before I can be
00:37:03happy for long,
00:37:04the trending list
00:37:05explodes again.
00:37:06Evan Ross posts
00:37:07a public apology.
00:37:09At first glance,
00:37:09it looks like a confession.
00:37:11In reality,
00:37:12it dumps every last drop
00:37:13of blame on Lana.
00:37:14I made a mistake.
00:37:15But if Lana
00:37:16hadn't approached me first,
00:37:17I never would have
00:37:18crossed the line.
00:37:19The second I read that,
00:37:20I laugh.
00:37:21Not because it's funny.
00:37:23Because it's disgusting.
00:37:25See that?
00:37:25He's using me
00:37:26to scrub himself clean.
00:37:29How is that good?
00:37:30The more desperate
00:37:31he is to speak out,
00:37:32the more guilty he is.
00:37:34Lana pauses.
00:37:35I'm already building
00:37:36the timeline in my head.
00:37:37Evan stepping in
00:37:38isn't the end of the attack.
00:37:40It's him handing us
00:37:41a weakness.
00:37:44After Evan's post,
00:37:46Lana's comment section
00:37:47goes nuclear.
00:37:49Everyone's calling her cheap,
00:37:51desperate,
00:37:52and asking for her downfall.
00:37:55But the more I read,
00:37:57the calmer I get.
00:38:02That post wasn't an apology.
00:38:05Obviously not.
00:38:07He was covering
00:38:08his own escape route.
00:38:09What do you mean?
00:38:11If you were really the one
00:38:12who seduced him,
00:38:13then he wouldn't need
00:38:14to come and apologize at all.
00:38:17He rushed to speak
00:38:18because he was afraid
00:38:19you'd talk first.
00:38:21Lana goes silent
00:38:23for two seconds.
00:38:25So they're not done yet.
00:38:28Exactly.
00:38:29Because they're terrified
00:38:30you'll survive this.
00:38:32The second I say that,
00:38:33something hardens
00:38:34in Lana's eyes.
00:38:35No more hurt,
00:38:36just fury,
00:38:38than let them try.
00:38:39From this moment on,
00:38:40we're not just trying
00:38:41to survive.
00:38:42we're going on offense.
00:38:46Lana and I pull
00:38:48two straight all-nighters.
00:38:49We map out the leaked video,
00:38:51the timing of the posts,
00:38:53and every wave
00:38:54of coordinated online attacks.
00:38:56The more we look,
00:38:58the uglier it comes.
00:39:00I've seen these gossip accounts
00:39:02before.
00:39:04Derek has used them before.
00:39:07So this time,
00:39:09it's him too.
00:39:11Not just him.
00:39:14Evan too.
00:39:15I slide my phone
00:39:16over to her.
00:39:18On the screen is proof
00:39:19that both sides
00:39:20use the same PR network.
00:39:24Those
00:39:25bastards.
00:39:27Cursing won't help.
00:39:28We need to drag
00:39:29this setup into the light.
00:39:30How?
00:39:31Before I answer,
00:39:32my phone rings.
00:39:33It's the production team.
00:39:34Mrs. Hart,
00:39:35we're confirming
00:39:36next week's recording.
00:39:37I look up
00:39:38and meet Lana's eyes.
00:39:40Here's our opening.
00:39:42This show isn't
00:39:43just your comeback stage.
00:39:45It's our first weapon.
00:39:46A new war
00:39:47is about to begin.
00:39:51We arrive
00:39:52at the recording set.
00:39:53Before we even
00:39:54settle in,
00:39:55the hostility
00:39:56hits us first.
00:40:02Well, look at that.
00:40:03Lana,
00:40:03you actually show up.
00:40:07Why wouldn't I?
00:40:08Your recent headlines
00:40:10have been
00:40:11entertaining.
00:40:13She says it
00:40:13with a smile,
00:40:14then lets her eyes
00:40:15slide over to me.
00:40:17And this must be
00:40:18your new manager?
00:40:20Doesn't look like much.
00:40:22Thanks.
00:40:23For what?
00:40:24For letting me know
00:40:24you're stupid
00:40:25the second you
00:40:26opened your mouth.
00:40:28her smile
00:40:29freezes instantly.
00:40:31Lana looks down,
00:40:33barely stopping herself
00:40:34from laughing.
00:40:36Enough.
00:40:37Get ready to roll.
00:40:39The second Marcus
00:40:40steps in,
00:40:41the atmosphere
00:40:41gets worse.
00:40:43I can tell.
00:40:44He doesn't want
00:40:45Lana to make it
00:40:45through this clean.
00:40:47We barely step
00:40:48onto set
00:40:48and I can already
00:40:49smell the trap.
00:40:50recording starts
00:40:53and the host's
00:40:54very first question
00:40:55goes straight
00:40:56for Lana's wounds.
00:40:57This isn't an interview,
00:40:59it's bait.
00:41:01Lana,
00:41:02you've been away
00:41:03for years.
00:41:04Was it because
00:41:05your marriage fell apart?
00:41:06My face goes cold
00:41:07instantly.
00:41:09This is a show
00:41:10interview.
00:41:11That question
00:41:12is out of line.
00:41:16Back off.
00:41:17Don't expect
00:41:18to dodge
00:41:18personal questions.
00:41:19If you're in this industry,
00:41:21don't expect
00:41:21to dodge
00:41:22personal questions.
00:41:23He shuts me down
00:41:24on the spot,
00:41:25but Lana
00:41:25doesn't panic.
00:41:26Marriage is in the past.
00:41:28The stage
00:41:28is what matters now.
00:41:30Today,
00:41:31I just want people
00:41:32to hear my voice.
00:41:35Her answer
00:41:36is flawless.
00:41:45Marcus looks
00:41:46even more annoyed
00:41:47because their first
00:41:49strike didn't land.
00:41:50I know they won't
00:41:51stop there.
00:41:55The interview ends
00:41:57and I don't even
00:41:58get a second
00:41:59to breathe.
00:42:00Marcus suddenly
00:42:01turns towards me.
00:42:06The backing track
00:42:07you submitted
00:42:07is corrupted.
00:42:08What?
00:42:09Either switch songs
00:42:11or drop out
00:42:12and let the next act
00:42:13go up.
00:42:20My head rings.
00:42:22Out of everyone here,
00:42:23only Lana's track
00:42:24is broken.
00:42:25This isn't an accident.
00:42:27This is aimed
00:42:27straight at us.
00:42:31What do we do,
00:42:32Chloe?
00:42:33I take one deep breath
00:42:35and look straight
00:42:36at Lana.
00:42:42The backing track
00:42:43is gone.
00:42:43How is this
00:42:44happening now?
00:42:46I suggest
00:42:47sing without it.
00:42:48It is too hard.
00:42:50It could go
00:42:51horribly wrong.
00:42:53This song
00:42:53is your heart
00:42:55and it's your
00:42:56last step
00:42:56out of the abyss.
00:42:58You have to go
00:43:00up there.
00:43:01Lana stares
00:43:02straight at me
00:43:02and finally
00:43:04she nods.
00:43:09In the next second,
00:43:11Lana walks
00:43:12onto a stage
00:43:13with no backing
00:43:14track at all.
00:43:19No backing track.
00:43:23No safety net.
00:43:25The whole room
00:43:26is waiting for Lana
00:43:27to fall apart
00:43:28but the second
00:43:29she steps
00:43:29on stage
00:43:32she does
00:43:32only one thing.
00:43:35She closes
00:43:36her eyes
00:43:38and sings.
00:43:39The first note
00:43:40hits and a chill
00:43:41shoots down my spine.
00:43:43Steady,
00:43:43precise,
00:43:44and full of
00:43:44the determination
00:43:45fury she's been
00:43:46choking down
00:43:46for far too long.
00:43:57I can't say a word
00:43:59because I know
00:44:01she's already won.
00:44:05Everyone waiting
00:44:06for a meltdown
00:44:07goes dead silent.
00:44:10Even Marcus
00:44:11is stunned.
00:44:16Lana isn't crashing.
00:44:18She's taking the stage
00:44:19back in front of everyone.
00:44:24Lana gets more stable
00:44:25and stronger
00:44:26with every line.
00:44:28Every bit of tension
00:44:30hanging over the room
00:44:31disappears.
00:44:35she's not gambling
00:44:36anymore.
00:44:38She's taking command
00:44:39of the stage.
00:44:42One by one,
00:44:43people in the audience
00:44:44look up at her.
00:44:45The same faces
00:44:45that were waiting
00:44:46to laugh
00:44:46now look completely
00:44:47different.
00:44:56Lana,
00:44:58you're incredible.
00:45:01I'm the first to clap.
00:45:03A second later,
00:45:04applause erupts
00:45:05through the room.
00:45:11I turn and look
00:45:13at Adrian.
00:45:13His face is starved
00:45:15as a strong clap.
00:45:18Useless idiots.
00:45:19I gave you one
00:45:20simple job
00:45:20and you still blew it?
00:45:24He's not yelling at us.
00:45:26He's yelling at his own people.
00:45:27Because this round,
00:45:29he lost.
00:45:30But before I can celebrate,
00:45:32a new problem
00:45:33charges straight at us.
00:45:39The second Lana
00:45:40gets off stage,
00:45:41Sophie comes running
00:45:43over in tears.
00:45:48Chloe!
00:45:49Chloe,
00:45:49they smashed the laptop!
00:45:51I understand immediately.
00:45:53The backup
00:45:53didn't disappear
00:45:54by accident.
00:45:55It was destroyed
00:45:56on purpose.
00:45:58Who did it?
00:46:00I didn't see clearly.
00:46:02By the time I got back,
00:46:03it was already ruined.
00:46:04I look down
00:46:05at the broken laptop
00:46:06and my blood
00:46:07runs colder
00:46:08and colder,
00:46:10sabotaging the track,
00:46:11destroying the backup.
00:46:13They weren't trying
00:46:14to embarrass Lana.
00:46:16They were trying
00:46:16to ruin her comeback
00:46:18completely.
00:46:19It's fine.
00:46:21How is this fine?
00:46:25Did you hear
00:46:26the applause just now?
00:46:27That was our answer.
00:46:30Sophie freezes.
00:46:34But the cold
00:46:35in my eyes
00:46:36doesn't fade.
00:46:38I'm keeping score
00:46:39now.
00:46:45After recording
00:46:46wraps,
00:46:47Marcus still tries
00:46:48to act like
00:46:48nothing happened.
00:46:49You got lucky
00:46:50today.
00:46:53Lucky?
00:46:54The track
00:46:55was ruined
00:46:56and so was
00:46:57the backup.
00:46:58Mr. Hale,
00:46:59are you sure
00:47:00this is just
00:47:01bad luck?
00:47:02Miss Bennett,
00:47:04watch what you imply
00:47:05unless you have proof.
00:47:06I will.
00:47:07And you'd better pray
00:47:08it doesn't lead
00:47:09back to you.
00:47:11His face darkens
00:47:12instantly.
00:47:13Off to the side,
00:47:14the rival artist
00:47:15tries to sneak in
00:47:16another mocking line.
00:47:18Wow.
00:47:19Touchy much?
00:47:20Shut up.
00:47:25If you're involved
00:47:26too,
00:47:26I won't spare you
00:47:27either.
00:47:27Her smile
00:47:28freezes instantly.
00:47:30Lana stands behind
00:47:31me without saying
00:47:32a word,
00:47:32but I know
00:47:33she sees all of it.
00:47:35After this battle,
00:47:36she doesn't see me
00:47:37as just another
00:47:38manager anymore.
00:47:41On the ride back,
00:47:43Lana doesn't say
00:47:44a word.
00:47:46Only when we're
00:47:46almost there
00:47:47does she finally
00:47:48speak.
00:47:51Thank you
00:47:52for today.
00:47:55Why are you
00:47:55thanking me?
00:47:59If it weren't for you,
00:48:01they might actually
00:48:01have forced me
00:48:02off that stage.
00:48:03You stayed standing
00:48:04because of you.
00:48:06Because you're strong
00:48:07enough when it counts.
00:48:11You know how to
00:48:12flatter me.
00:48:13I'm not flattering you.
00:48:14I'm telling the truth.
00:48:19The car falls quiet.
00:48:22She turns and looks
00:48:23at me.
00:48:25Chloe,
00:48:27starting today,
00:48:28say you're not
00:48:29just my manager.
00:48:31You're on my side.
00:48:33Something in my chest
00:48:34shifts.
00:48:35That line means
00:48:36more than any
00:48:36thank you.
00:48:42But before I can
00:48:43enjoy that moment,
00:48:44someone locks on
00:48:45Lana.
00:48:47When the car stops,
00:48:48I get out first
00:48:49and walk around
00:48:50to open Lana's door.
00:48:58That's enough.
00:48:59You don't have to
00:49:00walk me in.
00:49:01Not a chance.
00:49:02But the moment
00:49:03Lana steps out,
00:49:04I catch a figure
00:49:05from the corner
00:49:05of my eye.
00:49:07Tall.
00:49:08Thin.
00:49:09Mask on.
00:49:13What is it?
00:49:16Don't turn around.
00:49:18Someone behind me?
00:49:19Yeah.
00:49:20Someone who has
00:49:21no business
00:49:22watching you
00:49:22like this.
00:49:23When I look again,
00:49:25the man is already
00:49:25turning away,
00:49:27walking fast.
00:49:28Forget it.
00:49:33I almost go after him,
00:49:35but I can't leave
00:49:36Lana alone.
00:49:37Starting tomorrow,
00:49:39you're getting
00:49:39bodyguards.
00:49:40Is it that serious?
00:49:42Yes.
00:49:44In that moment,
00:49:45I know the next
00:49:46danger isn't online.
00:49:48It's already
00:49:49watching Lana herself.
00:49:54The next morning,
00:49:56I barely arrive
00:49:56at the office
00:49:57before Lana
00:49:58storms in.
00:49:59Chloe,
00:50:00he showed up again!
00:50:02Who?
00:50:04I realize
00:50:05that something
00:50:06was seriously wrong.
00:50:08The man
00:50:09who was watching
00:50:10me downstairs
00:50:10last night?
00:50:13My stomach drops.
00:50:16when I came
00:50:17downstairs this
00:50:18morning,
00:50:18I saw him again.
00:50:20He was standing
00:50:21across the street
00:50:22just staring at me.
00:50:24Then what?
00:50:25The second I turned
00:50:26toward him,
00:50:27he turned
00:50:27and walked away.
00:50:31But I saw him
00:50:32get into a black car.
00:50:33The plate number?
00:50:36I only caught
00:50:37the last few digits.
00:50:39I immediately
00:50:40push a pen
00:50:41and paper
00:50:41towards her.
00:50:45Write them down.
00:50:48You really think
00:50:48he's not some
00:50:49crazy fan?
00:50:51Not necessarily,
00:50:53but if he's already
00:50:54showing up
00:50:54outside your building
00:50:55again and again,
00:50:57then this isn't
00:50:58random anymore.
00:51:00Her face
00:51:01goes pale
00:51:01instantly.
00:51:03Pull out my phone
00:51:05and make a call
00:51:05immediately.
00:51:09Nathan,
00:51:10I need a favor.
00:51:12This time,
00:51:13I'm done
00:51:13fighting alone.
00:51:21The second Nathan
00:51:22picks up,
00:51:23he listens quietly
00:51:24while I explain
00:51:25everything.
00:51:30What do you need?
00:51:35I need you
00:51:36to trace a car
00:51:36and I need
00:51:38two reliable
00:51:38bodyguards
00:51:39for Lana.
00:51:40Is this
00:51:40Mr. Sterling's order?
00:51:42That question
00:51:42catches me off guard.
00:51:45No.
00:51:47It's my call.
00:51:49The other end
00:51:50goes quiet
00:51:50for two seconds.
00:51:52Understood.
00:51:53I'll have
00:51:53the bodyguards
00:51:54and the information
00:51:55sorted out
00:51:56by tonight.
00:52:00I hang up
00:52:01and realize
00:52:02my palms
00:52:02are drenched.
00:52:04Lana has been
00:52:05staring at me
00:52:06the whole time.
00:52:07You can even
00:52:07boss Nathan around?
00:52:09I'm just
00:52:10using
00:52:10borrowing
00:52:11some leverage.
00:52:13Chloe,
00:52:17how much about you
00:52:18do I still
00:52:19not know?
00:52:19I don't answer that
00:52:21because lately
00:52:22I'm not even
00:52:23sure I understand
00:52:24myself.
00:52:27But the thing
00:52:28that really
00:52:28unnerves me
00:52:29isn't Lana's
00:52:30question.
00:52:31It's the fact
00:52:32that Sebastian
00:52:32is going to
00:52:33find out
00:52:34I crossed
00:52:34the line.
00:52:38That night
00:52:38I walk
00:52:39into the mansion
00:52:40and find
00:52:40Sebastian
00:52:41already in
00:52:42the living room.
00:52:43Like he's
00:52:44been waiting
00:52:44for me.
00:52:45You're late.
00:52:47I was
00:52:48working
00:52:49overtime.
00:52:50Working
00:52:51overtime
00:52:51or
00:52:53overstepping?
00:52:54My heart
00:52:55skips.
00:52:56He knows.
00:52:57I don't know
00:52:58what you're
00:52:58talking about.
00:53:01Nathan
00:53:02arranged
00:53:03people and
00:53:03cars for you
00:53:04today.
00:53:05You really
00:53:06don't act
00:53:07like an
00:53:07outsider anymore.
00:53:08I can't
00:53:08tell if he's
00:53:09angry or
00:53:09amused
00:53:10and that
00:53:11makes me
00:53:11even more
00:53:11nervous.
00:53:14Lana's
00:53:15being watched.
00:53:17I couldn't
00:53:18pretend I
00:53:19didn't see
00:53:19it.
00:53:19He stares
00:53:20at me
00:53:20for a few
00:53:21long seconds.
00:53:22You're
00:53:22really
00:53:23something
00:53:23now.
00:53:24What's
00:53:24that
00:53:24supposed
00:53:25to
00:53:25mean?
00:53:25It
00:53:26means
00:53:26you're
00:53:27finally
00:53:27not
00:53:28acting
00:53:28like
00:53:28a
00:53:28helpless
00:53:28fool
00:53:29anymore.
00:53:30I
00:53:31almost
00:53:31laugh
00:53:31from
00:53:31sheer
00:53:32irritation.
00:53:33Even
00:53:33when this
00:53:33man
00:53:34praises
00:53:34me
00:53:34he
00:53:34still
00:53:35sounds
00:53:35unbearable.
00:53:38I stare
00:53:38at
00:53:39Sebastian
00:53:39and try
00:53:39to hold
00:53:40back
00:53:40but I
00:53:40fail.
00:53:42Can't
00:53:42you speak
00:53:43nicely
00:53:43for once?
00:53:46No.
00:53:47He answers
00:53:48so fast
00:53:48which catches
00:53:49me off
00:53:49guard.
00:53:51Forget it.
00:53:52I'm too
00:53:53tired to
00:53:53fight with
00:53:54you.
00:53:56I turn
00:53:57to leave
00:53:58and he
00:53:58suddenly
00:53:59stops me.
00:54:00Chloe.
00:54:01I turn
00:54:02back.
00:54:03Now that
00:54:03you've
00:54:03decided to
00:54:04get involved
00:54:04in Lana's

00:54:10You're
00:54:10imagining
00:54:11things.
00:54:11I just
00:54:11hate
00:54:12losers.
00:54:13But

00:54:14reason

00:54:15I don't
00:54:15get as

01:02:52Lana
01:02:52understands
01:02:53instantly.
01:02:54This
01:02:55crisis
01:02:55isn't
01:02:55over
01:02:56yet.
01:02:56It's

01:02:57a
01:02:57different

01:03:14Three
01:03:14minutes

01:03:15teaser,
01:03:15my
01:03:15face
01:03:16goes
01:03:16cold.
01:03:17Lana
01:03:17barely
01:03:17does
01:03:18anything.
01:03:18But
01:03:19after
01:03:19the
01:03:19malicious
01:03:19cuts,
01:03:20she
01:03:20comes
01:03:20off
01:03:21arrogant,
01:03:21difficult,
01:03:22and
01:03:22washed
01:03:22up.
01:03:23They've
01:03:23gone
01:03:23too
01:03:23far.
01:03:24They're
01:03:24not
01:03:24editing
01:03:25a
01:03:25show.
01:03:25They're
01:03:25destroying
01:03:26Lana.
01:03:27I
01:03:27check the
01:03:27comments.
01:03:28As expected,
01:03:30it's all
01:03:30hate.
01:03:30She's
01:03:31unbearably
01:03:32arrogant.
01:03:33Washed up and
01:03:34still acting like
01:03:35a queen?
01:03:35Please.
01:03:36I knew this
01:03:37would happen.
01:03:37Her voice is
01:03:38quiet, but I
01:03:40can hear it.
01:03:40She's starting
01:03:41to sink.
01:03:42No.
01:03:43This
01:03:43isn't
01:03:43the end.
01:03:46From the
01:03:47corner of
01:03:47my eye,
01:03:48I catch
01:03:49one of
01:03:49Sophie's
01:03:49old
01:03:50meme
01:03:50edits
01:03:50on her
01:03:51screen.
01:03:57In the
01:03:57next second,
01:03:58I suddenly
01:03:59know
01:03:59exactly
01:03:59what
01:04:00to
01:04:00do.
01:04:03I
01:04:04stare at
01:04:04Sophie's
01:04:05old meme
01:04:05edits,
01:04:06and everything
01:04:07clicks into
01:04:07place.
01:04:08If they
01:04:09can use
01:04:09editing to
01:04:10ruin Lana,
01:04:11why can't
01:04:11we use
01:04:12memes to
01:04:12help her?
01:04:13You mean,
01:04:13take Lana's
01:04:14eye rolls,
01:04:15deadcast looks,
01:04:16and savage
01:04:16expressions,
01:04:17and turn
01:04:17them into
01:04:18memes.
01:04:18Don't let
01:04:18them think
01:04:19she's
01:04:19arrogant.
01:04:20Make
01:04:20them think
01:04:20she's
01:04:20funny.
01:04:21I
01:04:21can
01:04:21do
01:04:21that.
01:04:21I
01:04:22can
01:04:22start
01:04:22right
01:04:22now.
01:04:23I

01:04:23down
01:04:23beside
01:04:23her,
01:04:24picking

01:04:26titles,
01:04:27shaping
01:04:27the
01:04:27pace
01:04:27myself.
01:04:28This
01:04:29isn't
01:04:29PR.
01:04:30It's
01:04:31a fight
01:04:31for
01:04:31narrative
01:04:32control.

01:04:51a
01:04:51sigh
01:04:51of
01:04:51relief.
01:04:53They
01:04:53didn't
01:04:53destroy
01:04:54Lana.
01:04:54I
