00:00:02Why doesn't my husband stare at me the way Baron Damian Ashwick does?
00:00:08Well, if my husband were to look at me the way Baron does, it would disgust me anyways.
00:00:15I can't even get it up.
00:00:17You tell anyone about my issue, and I'll kill you.
00:00:20Too bad, because it's already the talk of the manor.
00:00:23Get off, you bitch!
00:00:25I'm your husband, not the boss.
00:00:28Since I'm stuck here, I might as well find some pleasure in this hell.
00:00:34I need a new muse. I wanna paint you.
00:00:37I know true beauty when I see it.
00:00:40Your husband's right in your journey.
00:00:42I'm used to being punished.
00:00:45Let the games begin.
00:00:48If sin feels this good, then I'm ready to burn.
00:00:53I'm stuck. You're the only one I want.
00:00:57I'm divorcing you.
00:00:58I want five million dollars.
00:00:59Let's see how much you're worth to him.
00:01:01Your scandal has cost Damian's family millions.
00:01:04The Duke is dead.
00:01:05The Ashwick estate will collapse.
00:01:07Only my family can save him now.
00:01:09You have to marry her tomorrow, don't you?
00:01:14Yes.
00:01:19Why doesn't my husband stare at me the way Baron Damian Ashwick does?
00:01:27Well, if my husband were to look at me the way Baron does,
00:01:34It would disgust me anyways.
00:01:37His clammy touch makes my skin crawl.
00:01:39And the sour taste of his mouth on mine.
00:01:41And his temper.
00:01:42Worst of all his foibles.
00:01:44Just a forced marriage that keeps us together.
00:01:47But since I'm stuck here, I might as well find some pleasure in this hell.
00:01:54Keep watching me, my Baron.
00:01:56That gaze makes me drip with sins I haven't even committed yet.
00:02:00Don't move away.
00:02:25Move faster, you useless woman.
00:02:28If Baron Ashwick realizes I forgot those documents,
00:02:31I'm screwed.
00:02:36That's my husband, Brad.
00:02:38A man who treated me like a servant for the last five years
00:02:41and I so badly want a divorce.
00:02:44God knows I do, but I'm a woman of faith.
00:03:01I am.
00:03:02Are you alright?
00:03:05Are you alright?
00:03:09I'm sorry.
00:03:10I didn't see.
00:03:14Are you okay?
00:03:20Somehow, I am now.
00:03:26Yeah, I'm sorry. That was my fault. I didn't mean to bump into you
00:03:31Don't be
00:03:32Where are you off to? I'm just here to deliver these papers to my husband Brad Hartley. He's the head
00:03:38driver to the baron here
00:03:40Do you work here? Am I in the right place?
00:03:44Go in there wait. Let's see I'm in for you
00:03:49Wait
00:03:58She looks familiar
00:04:06How many gold candlesticks does one manor need? Doesn't the baron know we live in the year 2025?
00:04:11I've been polishing for days. Yeah, you know for how big this place is the Wi-Fi is shit
00:04:15Can't even doom scroll on my brakes brakes what brakes if we were proper ladies. We wouldn't have to slave
00:04:21away all day
00:04:23Unless
00:04:24What?
00:04:26We charm our way into the baron Damien's bed
00:04:30You know I heard from the kitchen maids. He's quite the playboy
00:04:33Oh, who looks like that? Who could turn him down?
00:04:36He's so dreamy
00:04:39And wealthy
00:04:41One time Grace caught a glimpse of him while changing in the shower
00:04:45Let's just say he's packing more than just big titles
00:04:50I'd do anything for him to notice me
00:04:52But the only thing getting my attention are these dirty candlesticks
00:04:55I can't even get this streak out
00:05:04Sorry, I didn't mean to overhear your conversation
00:05:11Who are you and what are you doing here?
00:05:13What are you some stray off the street?
00:05:14Do you know how much that face was worth?
00:05:17You can't even afford to look at it
00:05:19Damn it that's right. I said stay out of sight
00:05:21Now you're picking fights with the staff
00:05:23I didn't
00:05:24Ladies, I am so sorry. Please forgive my wife
00:05:28Wife?
00:05:29Well, if she can get married, there's definitely a chance for us, Sally
00:05:35Take the back door
00:05:36Okay, the baron doesn't like strangers on his property
00:05:39I can get fired to see this
00:05:48Be late for that Brad
00:05:58I've already seen her
00:06:00Sir?
00:06:23It's you
00:06:28I'm the one who let her in
00:06:31Any objections?
00:06:34None at all, sir
00:06:37The kind stranger is Baron Damian Ashwick?
00:06:41Sir, this is my wife
00:06:42I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience that she caused
00:06:46No need to apologize
00:06:47Your lovely wife was just trying to help
00:06:50And God knows
00:06:51We need more help around here
00:06:56Yes, Esther's actually an expert in cleaning
00:06:58It's all she really does at home
00:07:00Is that so?
00:07:02Yes, actually I was wondering if you needed another housekeeper on staff
00:07:12You too?
00:07:13Please get the housekeeper's cottage ready
00:07:15Immediately
00:07:16But that's where Grace lives
00:07:18Grace is fine
00:07:19Why?
00:07:21You're one new boss
00:07:21Esther
00:07:23Would you like to be Ashwick Manor's new head housekeeper?
00:07:48I'd like to be Ashwick Manor's new head housekeeper
00:08:02What are you doing here?
00:08:05Aww, how cute.
00:08:07An angel-loving slut.
00:08:09That's fresh.
00:08:10Please, okay, those are the last things I have for my mother, so I beg you, can you please...
00:08:15Ouch, my hands are still raw from scrubbing these floors.
00:08:19How come she gets to stay in this house?
00:08:20We've been here longer.
00:08:24Here.
00:08:25Oops, too slow.
00:08:32No!
00:08:37The broken sculpture.
00:08:39Oops.
00:08:44I guess this made Blake's it dirty after all.
00:08:48That is none of your business.
00:08:50And you have no business being here.
00:08:51Now clean up your slutty crap.
00:09:04That's enough.
00:09:09That's enough.
00:09:10Sir, we were just helping Esther unpack.
00:09:13Oh, and putting away her clothes.
00:09:15Esther, as the head housekeeper of this manor, you need to make sure that your staff always stays in line.
00:09:22Um, yes, sir, they were just...
00:09:26I hired a leader, not a liar.
00:09:29Show me.
00:09:33Uh, okay.
00:09:35Well, um, you must apologize.
00:09:40Try again.
00:09:44You go get a broom and you pick up the garments.
00:09:47No.
00:09:48Try again.
00:09:53There are 21 bathrooms in this house, eight half baths, each of which should be cleaned to the highest standard.
00:10:01If I see a streak in the mirror, or if the white porcelain of the toilet does not blind me,
00:10:06then you will be fired.
00:10:09Now, stop right there.
00:10:11I wasn't finished.
00:10:15Apologize.
00:10:16Sorry, Mrs. Hartley.
00:10:29Sorry, sir, I don't usually bring this much chaos with me to a new job.
00:10:37Don't need to apologize.
00:10:39Just thank me.
00:10:41Still, minions can be a bit...
00:10:44Scrappy, I've heard.

00:23:12I've been on my own terms, not yours.
00:23:15But you said you wanted to pay me, and I'm ready.
00:23:22I changed my mind.
00:23:28Why?
00:23:29Because I don't need another muse.
00:23:34I want more.
00:23:36Like what?
00:23:40Love.
00:23:43The infamous playboy is ready for love?
00:23:47I find that a little hard to believe.
00:23:50Maybe.
00:23:51But you're married, so...
00:23:53Brad and I are through.
00:23:56You were right.
00:23:57It doesn't make me happy.
00:24:00But can you?
00:24:04Okay.
00:24:11Can I?
00:24:17Tell your wildest imagination.
00:24:20But...
00:24:30Pleasure is earned.
00:24:34Now leave.
00:24:37Your impulsiveness comes off as desperate.
00:24:50You're right.
00:24:52Fine, then.
00:24:53If this is how he wants to play, I'll play.
00:24:57Not an angel after all.
00:25:00I'll be sure to tell Brad everything.
00:25:06Could what Sally said be true?
00:25:14No.
00:25:16How could the baron desire my worthless wife?
00:25:28Brother.
00:25:29Father.
00:25:29Father pulled through.
00:25:30The surgery was successful.
00:25:32That's good.
00:25:34Look, I know you're still a man, father, but...
00:25:37He nearly died.
00:25:38Damien, please, can't you just grant this man some peace?
00:25:41He just wants to see you.
00:25:43Doesn't seem like I have a choice in the matter, do I?
00:25:47Fine.
00:25:52Let's prepare the car, Brad.
00:25:54I need a new suit.
00:25:55My father, the Duke, will be coming to town in a few days.
00:25:59Right away, sir.
00:26:06Is something the matter?
00:26:07I've tore my uniform, so I'd like to go get it repaired.
00:26:10How dare you?
00:26:11As the housekeeper, I represent the manor, so I'd like to look decent.
00:26:17She's right, Brad.
00:26:18Let's go.
00:26:52You seem different to you.
00:26:55How so?
00:26:57I don't know.
00:26:59More bolt.
00:27:03Well, you said I had to earn my pleasure.
00:27:07Just following your rules, my Baron.
00:27:13Eyes on the road, Brad.
00:27:14For not to die in your hands.
00:27:19Let's get that divider up.
00:27:22You don't want to get this back.
00:27:41Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:27:48You see something interesting, sir?
00:28:08I'm just protecting my leather seats.
00:28:15I think you're going to need more than a little hanky to claim up that spell.
00:28:20Be careful, Esther.
00:28:21Be careful, Esther.
00:28:22I told you, no games.
00:28:24Consequences can be serious.
00:28:25What can I say?
00:28:27I'm a Catholic girl.
00:28:28I'm used to being punished.
00:28:31Shh.
00:28:32Your husband's right there driving.
00:28:35He won't be my husband once I sign the divorce papers.
00:29:02Yes, sir.
00:29:04We have arrived.
00:29:11Let the games begin.
00:29:21Welcome back, Baron Ashwick.
00:29:23It's always an honor.
00:29:24The help must wait in the lobby.
00:29:27She's with me.
00:29:31Please set her up in a room.
00:29:32We'll need measurements for any address.
00:29:35My deepest apologies, madam.
00:29:39Please, come this way.
00:29:46You are out of control.
00:29:48I don't even recognize you.
00:29:50Where is my wife?
00:29:51I said I wanted a divorce.
00:29:52I'm not going to agree to have a divorce.
00:29:54What would your mother think?
00:30:17Esther, name the baby after me, please.
00:30:24Mom, how did you know?
00:30:27A mother knows everything.
00:30:31I don't know.
00:30:32I just, I, I don't think I'm ready to be a mom.
00:30:37Marry a good man like Brad.
00:30:40And have the child.
00:30:43And live a good Catholic life.
00:30:47Like I raised you.
00:30:52And everything will be fine.
00:31:07I promise me.
00:31:11I promise me.
00:31:20I promise, mom.
00:31:24Maybe I'm making a mistake.
00:31:26I think I should keep my promise to my mother and stay with Brad.
00:32:11I'm making a mistake.
00:32:13Everything all right, darling?
00:32:15I'm fine.
00:32:17I just tripped on my shoes.
00:32:22Pretty hard.
00:32:30You're all right.
00:32:31But what?
00:32:34Earlier, I'm being married.
00:32:37I should behave like a housewife, not like that.
00:32:42I thought you were getting a little worse.
00:32:48Now turn around.
00:32:51You have very good symmetry.
00:32:55You make a perfect muse.
00:33:10My turn.
00:33:13You make a perfect muse.
00:33:18See you later.
00:33:31I'll see you later.
00:33:39You make a work.
00:33:41Wait, the scar.
00:33:47Please, can I just be on my way?
00:33:54Stay back!
00:34:07Could it be him?
00:34:13Are you...
00:34:15No, you can't be...
00:34:20Can be...
00:34:21Can be what?
00:34:25Marry a good man like Brad.
00:34:29Promise me, please.
00:34:32Nothing. Look, I must apologize.
00:34:35I realize how reckless I've been.
00:34:37And I approached you hoping that you'd protect me from Brad's temper and escape.
00:34:43It wasn't fair to leave you on.
00:34:46And I'm committed to my faith and I can't betray that.
00:34:51So this has to stop now.
00:34:55I won't leave Brad. I just can't.
00:34:58Very well. It's done then.
00:35:02That's it. What is going on?
00:35:11Excuse me, how dare you barge in here?
00:35:14Where's the bear?
00:35:19What's the commotion about Brad?
00:35:22Nothing, sir. I must have been hearing things. I don't think I got enough sleep last night.
00:35:27That's not my problem.
00:35:30No, my apologies. It won't happen again.
00:35:53The tailor mentioned something disturbing, Brad.
00:35:57She noticed bruises on Esther's body.
00:36:02They wouldn't happen to be her doing, would they?
00:36:11I have zero tolerance for domestic violence.
00:36:25No, it was my own carelessness, sir.
00:36:29Brad had nothing to do with it.
00:36:33Exactly, sir.
00:36:34I'm not that kind of man.
00:36:36I always value and respect and integrity.
00:36:42I have a special ointment in my room.
00:36:44It works wonders on Bruce's.
00:36:56Esther, just come upstairs when you get the ointment. It's an order.
00:37:01The Baron must do this with every woman he desires, right?
00:37:05I mean, he is a playboy after all.
00:37:09Or am I different?
00:37:10So, can I go in?
00:37:24I don't know.
00:37:45Just a second.
00:38:04Wait, the Baron can see everything.
00:38:15I hope you know that no one deserves to be physically armed, especially by those who are supposed
00:38:22to love them.
00:38:24Thank you for the ointment.
00:38:36The Baron just accepted the engagement to Countess Helena Carrington.
00:38:39She's back from Milan already?
00:38:41Yeah, I guess her wealthy parents are ready to marry off their princess.
00:38:45And I guess the Baron won't be settling for some commentar with delusions of grandeur
00:38:50after all.
00:38:51Exactly.
00:38:52Servants should remember their places, especially certain housekeepers with high ambitions.
00:38:59You're not paid to gossip, ladies.
00:39:01Get back to work or I'll have you in the scullery until next Christmas.
00:39:21Tell me everything that happened in that change room.
00:39:24What do you think I'm a fool, Esther?
00:39:25Did you try to seduce the Baron?
00:39:27Nothing happened, Brad.
00:39:28You're delusional.
00:39:29I'm delusional.
00:39:30You're the peasant who thinks that she can convince the Baron she's an actual lady.
00:39:41Go ahead and hit me, Brad.
00:39:44I see your tolerance for domestic violence.
00:39:48Because this time I am not going to cover for you if the Baron sees.
00:39:51I swear to God, Esther, if I lose my job over your stupid games, you will regret this.
00:40:12What am I doing with my life?
00:40:30I'm on the concrete now.
00:40:47If the rumors are true and the Baron is engaged, what is he doing with me?
00:41:06So, you like to watch me, don't you?
00:41:20The Baron thinks he can have anyone he wants.
00:41:24But he's wrong.
00:41:43You only want what you can't have.
00:42:00No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:42:08No, no, no, no, no.
00:42:11Oh, God.
00:42:28Is it a sin if we aren't touching?
00:42:45If sin feels this good, then I'm ready to burn.
00:43:05He took the bait, so what's going to happen now?
00:43:11My dear friends, thank you for being here on this momentous occasion, as two of the most
00:43:19powerful families of the South will soon be joining together in a marriage ceremony.
00:43:25Tonight we are celebrating the engagement of my son, the Baron of Ashwick, and the Countess
00:43:33Helena Carrington of the East End.
00:44:00Looks like someone officially failed on becoming the new lady of the manor.
00:44:03Poor thing.
00:44:04Back to reality.
00:44:06Harsh.
00:44:08She's flawless, polished, effortlessly charming, everything I'm not.
00:44:16Someone made for his world.
00:44:33You're prettier than I thought.
00:44:35You know who I am, but...
00:44:37You servants must think we're ignorant to all your conspiring.
00:44:41No.
00:44:42Okay.
00:44:42Just stop.
00:44:43Everything.
00:44:44You've been warned.
00:44:47Do you really think Damien's going to jeopardize his family's name for someone like you?
00:44:55,
00:44:56Countess, I think there must be a misunderstanding...
00:44:58spare me.
00:44:59I saw the way that Damien was looking at you during our dance.
00:45:04It's just a fleeting amusement.
00:45:08Men like Damien have to indulge in a little dirt before they settle into marriage.
00:45:14I don't know what you're talking about.
00:45:20Damien!
00:45:25There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:45:29I just needed some fresh air.
00:45:33We should get back to the party.
00:45:39Well, my feet are feeling so achy from all the dancing.
00:45:44Housekeeper, kneel and massage them for me?
00:45:49Am I wrong, Damien?
00:45:52Surely it's appropriate for a servant to tend to their masters, right?
00:45:58We are a dentist to service, but perhaps we can find another?
00:46:04No.
00:46:07I want this one.
00:46:09She seems like she has a good grip.
00:46:15My guests are waiting.
00:46:17Hurry now.
00:46:21Housekeeper.
00:46:25Wait.
00:46:28Wait.
00:46:32Esther needs to supervise the maids in the kitchen for tea service.
00:46:36We wouldn't want our guests to get cold tea, would we, darling?
00:46:50No one can hurt you unless you let them know.
00:46:53I've heard that before.
00:46:57Kate, you're losing too much blood. We need to get you to a hospital.
00:46:59Does it matter?
00:47:00Why would you say that?
00:47:03No one cares.
00:47:05My own father is disabled.
00:47:09Kate, listen. You matter to me. No one can hurt you unless you let them.
00:47:16Damon, why are you defending her?
00:47:22Hurley, you're not the lady of the manor yet.
00:47:27Esther is my housekeeper. You will get your own.
00:47:32Fine. Suit yourself.
00:47:41A few years ago, a stranger rescued me from a bad situation.
00:47:50Was that you?
00:47:52Sir.
00:47:54Sorry to interrupt.
00:47:56I was just hoping to steal my wife for a dance.
00:47:59It is our anniversary, after all.
00:48:14Give it up, Esther.
00:48:16You belong to me.
00:48:22I saw your wife in the Baron's study.
00:48:25Naked.
00:48:38If you dare try to leave me,
00:48:41I'll tell everyone that you're the Baron's silly little whore.
00:48:47You have no proof.
00:48:48What, do you think I'm an idiot?
00:48:50Of course I have proof. Everyone has proof.
00:48:56Your father will never accept someone beneath your glass.
00:48:59Give up this foolish infatuation.
00:49:04Infatuation?
00:49:08I've loved Esther for years.
00:49:12What did you just say?
00:49:18Esther.
00:49:27Why would Damon Ashwick invite his housekeeper to dance?
00:49:31Most peculiar, not to mention completely disgraceful.
00:49:34After all, this is an Ashwick party.
00:49:37Am I right? Anything can happen.
00:49:41I'm sorry, Aaron Ashwick.
00:49:44I'm Mr. Quinn.
00:50:00I'm sorry.
00:50:02I just opened a small cabinet by your bedside.
00:50:10I found the Addison specializing in those personal angels and had them floating from Europe.
00:50:15You know, after the incident with the two maids.
00:50:23I don't know what to say.
00:50:24I don't know what to say.
00:50:24How can I ever thank you?
00:50:28There wasn't a favor.
00:50:39Please, let me thank you, Barrett.
00:50:54Tell me exactly how you touch me right now.
00:50:56Do you want me to watch you?
00:50:58I've never had anybody watch me the way you do.
00:51:04Well, I enjoy it.
00:51:07Are you?
00:51:09Well, tell me.
00:51:11If you were in my room right now, what would you do to me?
00:51:20I would paint you.
00:51:22But my fingers would be the paintbrush.
00:51:26In your body.
00:51:29It would be my canvas.
00:51:31I would trace every part of you.
00:51:35The tip of my tongue.
00:51:37Starting with your neck.
00:51:40Then down to your breasts.
00:51:43All the way down.
00:51:45In between your thighs.
00:51:49I can't feel it.
00:51:53The taste.
00:51:55So.
00:51:56Good.
00:51:57Mr.
00:52:11I'm sorry I denied you earlier.
00:52:13Everyone was looking.
00:52:16And Brad.
00:52:18Brad.
00:52:19Where is Brad?
00:52:20Out.
00:52:21Gambling away our life savings probably.
00:52:24Especially after a night like tonight.
00:52:27What are we doing, Damien?
00:52:31Esther.
00:52:33You're the only one I want.
00:52:35What about Helena?
00:52:38Helena is merely a political match.
00:52:40It'll never be real.
00:52:41As real as what I feel for you anyways.
00:52:44How can I trust you?
00:52:46Just give me time.
00:52:47I'll make things right. I promise.
00:52:49I believe you, Damien.
00:52:51You've been lying to me this whole time, Esther.
00:52:54You think it's going to be that easy to get rid of me, huh?
00:52:58Think again.
00:53:08In other news, Baron Damien Ashwick, heir to the Ashwick fortune, has allegedly been involved with his housekeeper, Esther Hartley.
00:53:15If the rumors are true, this could jeopardize the soon-to-be union with Countess Helena Carrington and the Carrington
00:53:22fortune.
00:53:27I get a second chance at life.
00:53:30And this is the mess! I have to do it!
00:53:32You arranged a marriage without my consent.
00:53:37Are the rumors true, then?
00:53:39Father, please your heart.
00:53:41I took you back after your youthful indiscretions.
00:53:45I forgave you.
00:53:47But, Damien, you will marry the Countess.
00:53:55And if I don't?
00:53:59Are you not hearing me?
00:54:03You have no choice!
00:54:07The Carrington's are vital to our family business.
00:54:12And you will not waste it away with the help!
00:54:18I'm sorry, Father.
00:54:21I'm not going to let you control my life.
00:54:23Not again.
00:54:26Clean up your act.
00:54:29Join the Countess and her family for brunch in the garden.
00:54:34Resume the plans intended for you.
00:54:37Have I understood?
00:54:39Darling!
00:54:41There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you!
00:54:43No!
00:54:49You're the wife of my son, Schoffer?
00:54:53Indeed, Your Grace.
00:54:54My wife and I are deeply grateful that we both get to serve here at Ashwick Manor.
00:54:59Rich, brother.
00:55:01Not only is she helped, but she's married to the help.
00:55:04Bravo, you idiot!
00:55:06Stay out of it, Nathan.
00:55:08Oh, such gossip won't affect us.
00:55:11I trust my wife completely.
00:55:13And the Baron...
00:55:15He's a very trustworthy man.
00:55:16You have nothing to worry about.
00:55:18In fact, all of us here at the Manor, we are so excited to welcome Countess Helena onto the ground.
00:55:26Well...
00:55:26Seems the Schoffer is the only one with common sense around here.
00:55:32From this day onward, I vow to make my wife the happiest woman alive.
00:55:37It's quite noble of your breath.
00:55:38But it seems your sincerity...
00:55:41Has its limits.
00:55:44Over that horse.
00:55:47You know, the one you bet your entire savings on last night.
00:55:51I lost.
00:55:53Terribly.
00:55:56Every penny you own.
00:55:58Gone.
00:55:59And reckless.
00:56:01But as fate would have it...
00:56:03I own the betting house.
00:56:05So your mountain of death will be gone.
00:56:07It's my command.
00:56:09But tell me, Brett.
00:56:11What matters the most to you?
00:56:13Your money?
00:56:14Or your money?
00:56:27Or your wife?
00:56:28You won't get another chance.
00:56:30Damien, leave the poor man alone!
00:56:33Please, let's just talk about this privately. This is not the time.
00:56:38Since the truth is ready out.
00:56:40Let's just end this charade.
00:56:44So the rumors are true.
00:56:46I'm in love with Esther.
00:56:47Alright?
00:56:49I'm not gonna let anything send you away.
00:56:51You disgraced our family.
00:56:55For a servant!
00:56:58You will attend brunch with Helena.
00:57:03And fix this scandal.
00:57:06Or I will personally ensure you are stripped of your inheritance.
00:57:13And cast out from this family!
00:57:18Damien's father just got out of the hospital.
00:57:20I'm begging you to just do as you're told.
00:57:23Please, for his help.
00:57:24For our family name.
00:57:33Funny, isn't it?
00:57:36The Duke of Auschwijk.
00:57:38Finally believes in marital vows.
00:57:42Where was his respect?
00:57:45Huh?
00:57:46When you betrayed my mother.
00:57:48Where is?
00:57:51How is it?
00:58:04Mom, he knows us today, right?
00:58:08Of course he does, sweetheart.
00:58:10He's your father.
00:58:13Mom!
00:58:14I got him to Oxford.
00:58:16I'll send this to father.
00:58:17He has to come visit this time.
00:58:19He has to.
00:58:22Mom!
00:58:26Mom!
00:58:27What was that?
00:58:28The Duke of Auschwijk remarried today.
00:58:42I know she died.
00:58:45All alone...
00:58:48Even then, you didn't come back.
00:58:51Everything I have, I own myself.
00:58:56And I don't need your inheritance, and I don't need your titles, and I don't need to say
00:59:02this family name.
00:59:03You hear me?
00:59:13Someone call an ambulance!
00:59:25Is the deval right to the ambulance?
00:59:28So anxious over that old man who humiliated you in front of everyone when I tried to save
00:59:33you!
00:59:34How dare you!
00:59:37Humiliated.
00:59:38Do you even know what humiliation is?
00:59:42It's smiling through bruises.
00:59:44It's making excuses for a partner, for a husband, who sees you as his property instead of as
00:59:50his partner.
00:59:51And it's losing myself, bit by bit, trying to make a marriage work that was never meant
00:59:57to be.
00:59:57Save me, your pity party, Esther.
00:59:59I didn't put you in Damien's bed.
01:00:01You not only betrayed me and your mother, you committed the greatest sin!
01:00:06I was never in his bed!
01:00:08Oh, you might not have been in his bed, but we damn sure know you entertained him!
01:00:13Let's talk about real betrayal, shall we?
01:00:16Was it loyalty when you gambled away our life savings?
01:00:21Or when you hit me again and again and again?
01:00:25Your scandalous photos are everywhere.
01:00:29I guess your noble little lover boy doesn't care enough about you to salvage your dick
01:00:34I'm not a idiot.
01:00:35It was you.
01:00:37Wasn't it?
01:00:39You're the one that leaked my photos to the price.
01:00:45Sign it.
01:00:46We're done.
01:00:47I'm divorcing you.
01:00:52You think I leaked your photos?
01:00:54Why would I do that to my own wife?
01:00:56Only you had the photos!
01:00:58Stop lying!
01:01:00Maybe your little lover boy Damien just got bored of you.
01:01:02Sent all your shit to the tabloids.
01:01:04Enough of your lies.
01:01:06You gave Helena my photos and she handled the press.
01:01:12Perfect teamwork.
01:01:14But you forgot about the garden.
01:01:21This proves nothing.
01:01:25You can't prove what we exchanged.
01:01:30Call your little lover boy right now.
01:01:33We want five million dollars.
01:01:35Can you feel that?
01:01:36The lights leaving you.
01:01:39I see how much you are through them.
01:01:48Dad!
01:01:50You bitch!
01:01:53Dad!
01:01:57Look up, look up.
01:01:59Shh, shh.
01:02:09You've gone too far this time.
01:02:11Father was just out of surgery.
01:02:13Now he's back in the ICU.
01:02:14Don't you have any shame?
01:02:16Shame?
01:02:18After I streeted me?
01:02:19And my mother?
01:02:20He tried to make things better when your mother died.
01:02:22You never came home.
01:02:24Why would I?
01:02:25He had you, the perfect son.
01:02:27You and I were so mean.
01:02:29You're throwing everything away for a maid.
01:02:31The white announcement with Helena goes public tomorrow.
01:02:34And it will, of course, the scandal.
01:02:37What the hell did you just say?
01:02:43Hello, Esther.
01:02:49Looking for Damian?
01:02:51Don't waste your time.
01:02:52He told me he needs to focus on his father right now, so...
01:02:56Hmm, I want to hear it from him.
01:02:59Believe whatever fantasy you want.
01:03:02But if I call him, he'll answer.
01:03:05Go ahead, prove it.
01:03:13Who the hell gave you permission
01:03:15To decide my life
01:03:16I'm doing what's best for my family
01:03:20If you love your family so much
01:03:22What do you need to marry Elena yourself?
01:03:31What is it?
01:03:40Damien, I just heard about the Duke's condition
01:03:43I came right away
01:03:44Is there anything I can do?
01:03:46This doesn't concern you, Elena
01:03:47Stay out of it
01:03:51I miss you too
01:03:52I knew you wouldn't stoop so low
01:03:54As to be with a servant
01:03:57I'll see you soon
01:04:01Your scandal
01:04:02Has cost Damien's family millions
01:04:04And their stocks have plummeted
01:04:06Overnight
01:04:08Only my family can save him now
01:04:11I don't believe you
01:04:13Our wedding is next week
01:04:16It's final
01:04:17Well, Damien said that he didn't want to go through with it
01:04:20Check the news yourself
01:04:21If you don't want to be the reason that Damien's family loses everything
01:04:25Then run far away from here
01:04:34Baron Damien Ashwick is set to marry heiress Helena Carrington
01:04:38In what insiders describe as the wedding of the year
01:04:42It seems that the Ashwick dynasty is eager to secure a lucrative alliance
01:04:46With the powerful business elite Carrington family
01:04:52I came as quickly as I could
01:04:54I said you shouldn't be here
01:04:56I know
01:04:57But I wanted to celebrate the official wedding plan
01:05:00There won't be a wedding, Elena
01:05:02I've already told you
01:05:02Esther is the only woman I've ever married
01:05:06Damien
01:05:06Your father is in critical condition
01:05:09Because of your reckless actions
01:05:12Are you really prepared to risk everything
01:05:15For the help
01:05:17I have watched the security footage from the garden, Elena
01:05:19I have proof
01:05:21That you and my driver
01:05:22Leaked Esther's photos to the media
01:05:24He...
01:05:25He knows
01:05:27Cancel this ridiculous wedding
01:05:29And disappear from my Esther's life forever
01:05:31And I'll consider the matter closed
01:05:37Your so-called proof
01:05:39Means nothing
01:05:40No one can stop me from becoming Lady of Ashwick
01:05:56What's the point?
01:05:57You're about to marry her anyway
01:06:14You always know what I need
01:06:19Really, Brad?
01:06:20Couldn't even wait till the divorce papers were signed
01:06:24I'm just giving Brad the love and attention he needs
01:06:26After everything you put him through
01:06:28Well, you're gonna have to try with all the force of the gods
01:06:31Because your lover boy there
01:06:32Can't even get it up
01:06:33Trust me, it's pathetic
01:06:41What?
01:06:41You got dick trouble?
01:06:43No, Esther just doesn't turn me on the way that...
01:06:49Have a nice night, you two
01:06:51Five million dollars
01:06:52Or I won't sign those papers
01:06:54Or I won't sign those papers
01:06:54I know you have it
01:06:56You let him screw you for free?
01:06:58Have you even watched the news, Brad?
01:07:00He's gonna marry Helena
01:07:01There is no money
01:07:02We're done
01:07:03So just sign the papers already
01:07:05Aw, how sad
01:07:06Well, the princess didn't get her happy ending after all
01:07:09And you really think you're gonna get your happy ending with that wife beater there?
01:07:13Good luck
01:07:19Got you
01:07:22Are you alright?
01:07:25I don't know
01:07:28Who cares Charles and future Lydia Loiswein?
01:07:31It wasn't me
01:07:31Brad pushed her
01:07:33What?
01:07:36She's still my wife
01:07:37Stay back
01:07:48It was you
01:07:49That saved me a lot of years ago
01:07:51Before you remember
01:07:53Good
01:07:53Just waiting in
01:07:54To come up for your
01:07:55Loiswein's alive husband
01:08:06Mother, I'm keeping my promise
01:08:08To you
01:08:10Even though I'm not in love
01:08:11With Brad
01:08:15This child deserves a home
01:08:22A loveless marriage
01:08:23Is crueler to the child
01:08:29Okay, please
01:08:35Can I just be on my way?
01:08:39Stay back
01:08:49Okay, you're losing too much blood
01:08:51We need to get you to a hospital
01:08:52It doesn't matter
01:08:53Why would you say that?
01:08:55No one cares
01:08:57My own father is disillusioned
01:08:59Okay, listen
01:09:00You matter to me
01:09:01No one can hurt you unless you let them
01:09:05It was him
01:09:06All along
01:09:08You will sign
01:09:10Those divorce papers today
01:09:12And you leave town
01:09:15Before I see your pathetic face again
01:09:34Why didn't you tell me
01:09:36That it was you that saved me
01:09:37All those years ago
01:09:39How was I supposed to say that?
01:09:42Hey Esther
01:09:43I saved you once
01:09:46And suddenly fell for you
01:09:49And to go into
01:09:51How I was
01:09:53Consumed
01:09:53By
01:09:56The abandonment from my father
01:09:58And traumatized
01:10:00By the grief
01:10:01Of my dead mother
01:10:04Then you
01:10:05You said that one sentence
01:10:08And it really gave me hope
01:10:10Still it's a bit much
01:10:11For an introduction
01:10:12And you think
01:10:13No one can really hurt you
01:10:15Unless you let them
01:10:28And you were
01:10:28I mean you were pregnant
01:10:30And
01:10:32Engaged back then
01:10:32I had no right to step into your life
01:10:35But then you came back
01:10:36And you were so unhappy
01:10:38And married
01:10:39And
01:10:40I thought I could just
01:10:41You know seduce you into living bread
01:10:44I thought I could win you over
01:10:47But clearly it was more complicated than that
01:10:52Ironically though
01:10:52When the
01:10:54Gossip broke
01:10:55I felt so relieved
01:10:58You know
01:10:59I thought fate
01:11:01Finally gave us a chance
01:11:02You know
01:11:03To be together
01:11:07Then my father got sick because of it
01:11:08And now my family wants me to marry Helena
01:11:11To silence the rumor
01:11:13Are you
01:11:15Gonna marry her
01:11:19Master
01:11:21Maybe
01:11:42A
01:11:43Are you
01:11:44In charming
01:11:48What
01:11:49A
01:12:10elementary
01:12:11Was
01:12:17I was thirsty.
01:12:19I was thirsty.
01:12:59Listen, if your family forces you to marry her, as long as your heart belongs to me, I can
01:13:06handle anything.
01:13:07Really?
01:13:09My heart?
01:13:11What about the rest of me?
01:13:14Okay, maybe not.
01:13:18I don't like sharing.
01:13:20Look, don't worry, I'm not marrying Alina.
01:13:23I'll handle this stupid wedding.
01:13:27Besides, my whole world is you.
01:13:32Just honestly, buy whatever you like.
01:13:35Let's call it yourself.
01:13:40I'll meet you in the car.
01:13:49Has something happened?
01:13:51Why isn't he picking up?
01:13:53Damien?
01:14:01You can leave now.
01:14:03I'm not going anywhere.
01:14:05He's not going to marry you.
01:14:05He never cancelled the wedding.
01:14:07So, yeah.
01:14:08It's happening.
01:14:12My gowns.
01:14:14Just in time.
01:14:21Give it up.
01:14:22He's not going to answer you this time.
01:14:31Is it true the Duke of Ashwick is dead?
01:14:32Sir, how is the Ashwick family responding?
01:14:35Who will inherit the Ashwick estate?
01:14:37I must find him.
01:14:39He's dead.
01:14:40You're fucking late.
01:14:44Dead?
01:14:46I thought it was just an honor.
01:14:47Yeah, you thought wrong.
01:14:48His heart couldn't take it this time.
01:14:50Maybe you'd know that if you weren't out with the war last night.
01:14:54Just keep me real.
01:14:56I've called in the family lawyer.
01:14:58We need to discuss the inheritance.
01:15:01First things first.
01:15:03Brad, your driver, he's been taken care of.
01:15:05He accepted the payout and left quietly.
01:15:11Here are the divorce papers for him.
01:15:14Get to the job point!
01:15:19Do you think Damien would like lace or chiffon?
01:15:26Oh, you must have heard the news then, huh?
01:15:28What news?
01:15:29The Duke is dead.
01:15:31I guess that last fight really pushed him to the edge.
01:15:35Soon the news will flood every headline combined with Damien's scandals.
01:15:40The Ashwick estate will collapse overnight.
01:15:47Only I can save him.
01:15:50In the end, money always wins.
01:15:55Do you really want Damien to be ridiculed as a spoiled heir who drove his own father to death?
01:16:03All for a maid?
01:16:05It wasn't his fault.
01:16:06But it's yours.
01:16:08This would have never happened if he just didn't meet you.
01:16:13Look at the mess that you've made.
01:16:15If you truly care about him, Esther, do him this favor.
01:16:20And vanish from his life forever.
01:16:29Your father instructed me that if he were to remain unconscious for more than three days with no chance of
01:16:36recovery, I was to deliver this to you.
01:16:38He named you CEO of the Ashwick estate effective immediately.
01:16:43While Nathan is secondary, he will now become your trusted support in this family venture.
01:16:51I don't understand.
01:16:54I thought he ate at me.
01:16:56I thought he ate at me.
01:17:18The wedding will happen tomorrow.
01:17:19The wedding will happen tomorrow.
01:17:20It's so fuzzy.
01:17:35Father, forgive me, I have nowhere else to go.
01:17:39Could you please take me in?
01:17:41Isn't that a scandalous maid from Indius?
01:17:46Disgrace.
01:17:46That affair basically drove the Duke to his death.
01:17:50What a shame.
01:17:51Mind your words, please.
01:17:53This is a holy place.
01:17:56Please stay, my child.
01:17:57You're safe here.
01:18:15Father, forgive me, for I have sinned.
01:18:19I'm so lost, I don't know what else to do.
01:18:23I've made a complete mess of my life.
01:18:26And everyone around me.
01:18:35Damien.
01:18:36Can we meet?
01:18:47I'm sorry about your father.
01:18:49I'm sorry, too.
01:18:52This is all my fault.
01:18:54No, it's not.
01:18:57Don't blame yourself.
01:18:59You have to marry her tomorrow, don't you?
01:19:03Yes.
01:19:08Esther.
01:19:10You don't have to explain, Damien.
01:19:14But I can't take this.
01:19:17Keep it.
01:19:19Don't need it.
01:19:24Don't need it.
01:19:26I've made this for you.
01:19:28Just a little bit later.
01:19:30Please.
01:19:31I've meant every single word I've ever said to you.
01:19:35My feelings will never change.
01:19:40Goodbye, Damien.
01:19:59The press is everywhere.
01:20:01The head of finance and commerce are here, too.
01:20:03Even the prime minister is showing up shortly.
01:20:08Maybe you should mingle with some of these guests.
01:20:11Let's just wait.
01:20:13I just want everyone here to witness a moment.
01:20:15You know?
01:20:16Especially the prime minister.
01:20:19Look.
01:20:20This wedding.
01:20:20It's inevitable.
01:20:22It's happening whether you like it or not.
01:20:24Just pretend to be happy.
01:20:26It's already boosting our public shares.
01:20:27And let's just give them the show they want.
01:20:32Now, if anyone here objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace.
01:20:44I object.
01:20:52What the hell is going on?
01:20:54I love this man with all my heart and I refuse to stand by and watch him marry a killer.
01:21:03In exactly three seconds, you'll all receive proof that Countess Helena Harrington is in fact a murderer.
01:21:10Three, two, one.
01:21:18Inject this poison to the Duke or your kid, your wife, your dogs all die.
01:21:25This is ridiculous.
01:21:26That video is obviously a fake and clearly made with A.I.
01:21:29I have no motive to kill the Duke.
01:21:31You actually did.
01:21:32The first time I called off the wedding, you didn't have access to the estate.
01:21:35So by getting my father, you were a crash to stock price and forced me to marry him.
01:21:41But your father approved of our marriage.
01:21:43Why would I kill him?
01:21:45Because I changed my mind.
01:21:47And you heard it.
01:21:51When I regained consciousness, the first thing I told Nathan was my permission for Damien to marry Esther.
01:22:01You were in my room at the time.
01:22:03You overheard everything.
01:22:05That's when you decided I had to die.
01:22:09I thought my father was never really dead.
01:22:10His old thing was a trap.
01:22:12Nathan and I set up for you.
01:22:14The doctor all injected my father with saline.
01:22:16Nothing more.
01:22:18What?
01:22:19As soon as the doctor found out your plan, he informed Nathan.
01:22:22Nathan called me repeatedly and told me everything.
01:22:27You were right, son.
01:22:29I deeply regret how I treated your mother.
01:22:33I married without love and caused her great pain.
01:22:37I couldn't bear to see you make the same mistake.
01:22:42My father recovered quickly, but I told him I needed some time to fully forgive him.
01:22:47In the meantime, he would indulge me with this little plan to patch things up.
01:22:53The only thing I'm sorry about is that I had to hurt the woman I love.
01:22:57Even briefly.
01:22:59From that moment on, the game was fun.
01:23:02Because the truth was out there.
01:23:08From that moment, I started gathering evidence on you.
01:23:11But you had us followed every step of the way.
01:23:15Everyone at the wedding, the church, was your informant.
01:23:18So I tried to get out in somewhere under your nose.
01:23:36I married me.
01:23:39But...
01:23:40But...
01:23:41First, I crashed my wedding to Helena.
01:23:47So, here I am crashing my wedding, essentially.
01:23:54You bitch!
01:23:57You're under arrest, Elaine Harrington.
01:23:59No!
01:24:00Brother!
01:24:04Our stock!
01:24:05It's reaching an all-time high!
01:24:06Congratulations!
01:24:07You've officially become the heir
01:24:10of the Ashwick Estate.
01:24:18You've proven yourself, son.
01:24:20All I want now is for you and Esther
01:24:23to have the happiness your mother and I never had.
01:24:26With my full blessing.
01:24:31I now pronounce you husband and wife.
01:24:33You may kiss the bride.
01:24:42For what?
01:24:43For saving me.
01:24:45You saved me, too.
01:24:48But, um...
01:24:49For what?
01:24:51Now that we're married, are you gonna stop spying on me?
01:24:57Probably not.
01:24:58I'm sorry.
01:24:59Okay, good. I love that for us.
01:25:01I don't love you, Esther.
01:25:02I love you, too.
01:25:04I love you.
01:25:06It's an impossible job, no.
01:25:07I love you.
01:25:08I love you.
01:25:15I love you, too.
01:25:17But, for me, I want you to get a first time.
01:25:20I love you, too.
01:25:20I love you.
01:25:20I love you.
01:25:21I love you.
01:25:21You
