Short filmTranscript
00:00Here is my father's legal wife. If this post gets traffic, I'll let mom keep the baby. If not,
00:05I'll make sure she loses it. During a rare break between three jobs,
00:09Victoria Hawkins saw a viral post. The comments exploded.
00:13Then the boy posted a bank balance filled with endless zeros.
00:16Victoria thought it was a twisted rich family scandal.
00:18Then she saw the photo. It was her.
00:22Victoria, get a mop. VIP room.
00:27She put on her mask, walked into the luxury private club,
00:31and dropped to her knees to clean the floor.
00:33Dad, mom's post has low traffic. Tell her to get rid of the baby.
00:39Stop this nonsense. What's wrong with having a little sister?
00:42Sebastian, be good. Victoria gives your father pure love.
00:45As long as he is my husband, I don't mind. Hearing her own name, Victoria froze.
00:51After her family went bankrupt and her mother fell ill,
00:53Victoria worked nonstop to survive.
00:57She believed Jonathan was a poor laborer,
01:00a husband fighting through hardship beside her.
01:02Her poor husband was a billionaire.
01:05What are you looking at? Is this the quality of the cleaning staff at the club?
01:08She fell backward, slamming onto the marble tiles,
01:10a sharp pain ripping through her abdomen.
01:12The club manager sprinted in, dragged Victoria out into the hallway and hissed at her.
01:16Victoria realized the man she loved was the billionaire CEO of the Hughes Group.
01:20She curled up on the floor, a pool of dark crimson blood spreading beneath her.
01:23Victoria lost consciousness and woke up in a hospital room.
01:26Mr. Hughes asked me to convey his deepest apologies.
01:28There is $100,000 on this bank card as compensation.
01:30Victoria remembers Jonathan couldn't even afford an epidural when she was in labor.
01:34My baby is gone, isn't it?
01:38If you feel you require more money, I can immediately contact Mr. Hughes.
01:41There is no need.
01:43Are Mr. Hughes and his legal wife deeply in love?
01:45Of course they are.
01:46They are childhood sweethearts.
01:47A perfect match.
01:49The assistant told her about their grand wedding and the private sky garden he built for her.
01:53Victoria laughed maniacally, tears streaming down her pale cheeks.
01:57I understand now.
01:59You can go.
02:00Grandpa, I'm ready to come.
02:01Please book my flight.
02:03I thought you couldn't bear to leave your precious husband and son?
02:05Two years ago, the secretary had offered Victoria the family empire if she left Jonathan and Sebastian, but she had
02:10refused without hesitation.
02:12Now, Victoria realized all her sacrifices had been completely meaningless.
02:15I was wrong.
02:16I don't want them anymore.
02:17I only want to bring my mother with me for the best medical treatment.
02:19The secretary approved.
02:21Victoria was released from the hospital the next morning.
02:23Where is my breakfast?
02:25Victoria used to make him homemade breakfast rolls, but he never appreciated her efforts.
02:30She spotted the expensive lunchbox in his bag and realized he was just playing the poverty game.
02:34I didn't make any.
02:35I won't be making it ever again.
02:37Go buy something outside.
02:38Are you crazy?
02:39The street food is filthy.
02:40You can't even compare to Madeline.
02:41Sebastian clamped his mouth shut in panic, but Victoria said nothing and left for work.
02:45She took a humiliating job at a high-end shoe store, required to kneel to serve clients.
02:50The doorbell chimed, and Victoria plastered on a polite smile to greet the customer.
02:54She looked up, and her welcoming words died in her throat.
02:59Victoria, what are you doing here?
03:00Are you following me?
03:03You understand, sir.
03:04She's our newest sales clerk.
03:05Are you short on cash again?
03:06I told you to leave the money issues to me.
03:08Why would you come to a place like this and degrade yourself?
03:10Victoria stared at him, thinking of the news article about him and his wife working a boutique
03:14shift for a romantic dinner.
03:15What's degrading about earning money with my own two hands?
03:18Jonathan, is this your wife?
03:19I'll make sure to give her more business.
03:21Come here, new girl.
03:21Change my shoes.
03:22Madeline made a spectacle, forcing Victoria to kneel repeatedly to try on different shoes.
03:26Jonathan watched, a mix of irritation and heartache surging through him.
03:30That's enough, Ms. Black.
03:31You shouldn't be wearing high heels anyway.
03:32Oh, right.
03:32I'm pregnant.
03:33High heels really aren't a good idea right now.
03:35Sorry about that, new girl.
03:36Victoria was fixated on the word pregnant.
03:38Her own baby had died, unwanted and none mourned.
03:41Swallowing the bitter, suffocating taste of ash in her throat,
03:44Victoria numbly walked the two of them out of the store.
03:50Were you mad at me today?
03:52That was my boss's daughter.
03:54You won't have to work such long hours anymore.
03:57Even now, he was still feeding her lies.
04:01I know.
04:03Jonathan frowned, sensing something was off,
04:06but decided to take her to the outskirts the next day.
04:08Just keep Ms. Black company today.
04:09The pay is better.
04:10Be good.
04:11Your mother is still in the hospital.
04:13Sebastian eagerly threw himself at Madeline.
04:15Jonathan rushed to support her waist.
04:16The three of them laughed and joked,
04:18forgetting Victoria standing in the shadows.
04:20Suddenly, a car caraysed straight towards them.
04:22Victoria sprinted to save Sebastian.
04:24Jonathan and Sebastian shopped Victoria into the car's path
04:26and shielded Madeline.
04:27Madeline, are you okay?
04:28Why?
04:29Victoria woke on a stretcher.
04:31The doctor shouted Madeline needed an urgent blood transfusion.
04:33Draw my mom's blood.
04:34She has the same rare blood type.
04:36Get the best doctors.
04:37Draw Victoria's blood while you treat her.
04:39If anything happens to Madeline,
04:40I'll shut this hospital down.
04:42You're awake.
04:43Thank God you're okay.
04:44You didn't show any signs of a miscarriage.
04:45This is an absolute miracle.
04:47Victoria tried to push him away,
04:48knowing their baby was already dead.
04:50Are you blaming me?
04:51I just panicked.
04:52Sebastian came to apologize too.
04:53Mom, I'm sorry.
04:56And thank you.
04:57Get out.
04:58When you have this baby,
04:59I'll treat her like my real little sister.
05:01Jonathan and Sebastian tried to compensate her
05:03with care and gifts for a week.
05:06Then Victoria got a call saying her mother needed $500,000
05:09for emergency surgery.
05:11She searched everywhere and found Jonathan
05:12at the Black Family Mansion having dinner.
05:14My mother is dying.
05:15I'm begging you.
05:16Please just lend me some money.
05:18Oh, it's you.
05:19I know my husband looks an awful lot like Jonathan,
05:21but he really isn't him.
05:22Yeah.
05:23We don't even know who you are.
05:25If you're looking for someone,
05:26you've got the wrong house.
05:27Guards, throw this woman out.
05:29Victoria was dragged out into the pouring rain,
05:31her fingers bleeding as she clung to the gates.
05:35As she lay in the mud,
05:36she suddenly remembered the jewelry Jonathan had given her.
05:39Victoria stumbled into the boutique,
05:41clutching the jewelry Jonathan had given her
05:42to pay for her mother's surgery.
05:43These are custom pieces for the Hughes CEO's wife
05:45engraved with a Black Family initial.
05:47You must have stolen them.
05:48Victoria was taken to the police station,
05:49pleading desperately for release.
05:51I didn't steal anything.
05:52My husband and son can prove they gave these to me.
05:53Jonathan arrived,
05:54his shock turning to cold anger.
05:55Victoria, these are not the pieces I bought for you.
05:57Did you really steal Madeline's things?
05:58Mom, stop lying.
05:59I saw you digging through Madeline's bag.
06:01How could you repay her kindness like this?
06:02Please handle her according to the law.
06:03I'll take care of your mother
06:04if you accept your punishment quietly.
06:06Victoria collapsed,
06:07all strength leaving her.
06:10I plead guilty.
06:11I stole the jewelry.
06:12Please save my mother.
06:14Before she was transferred,
06:15Madeline walked into the station.
06:16I swapped the jewelry.
06:18I told Sebastian to frame you.
06:21Who told you to be a homewrecker?
06:23Victoria slapped Madeline hard across the face.
06:25The only shameless ones here
06:27are you and Jonathan.
06:28Good.
06:29I'll make sure the people in lockup
06:31treat you as you deserve.
06:36Victoria survived seven days in detention,
06:38covered in bruises
06:39and a jagged scar on her face.
06:41What happened to you?
06:41Who did this?
06:42Jonathan's phone rang.
06:43His face turned ice cold
06:44the moment he answered Madeline's call.
06:46You hit Miss Black when she visited you?
06:48Come with me to apologize.
06:49Your mother's surgery needs money
06:50only Miss Black can lend us.
06:51I'm sorry, Miss Black.
06:52I shouldn't have laid a hand on you.
06:53I'm not actually pregnant.
06:54Jonathan only wants children with you.
06:56That's why I despise you.
06:58Madeline threw herself backwards,
06:59screaming that her baby was hurt.
07:01What did you do?
07:02Doctors confirmed Madeline had lost the child.
07:05I didn't touch her.
07:06Sebastian saw everything.
07:08Mom pushed Madeline.
07:09Madeline didn't do anything.
07:10Whatever was left of Victoria's heart
07:12shattered into dust.
07:13Lock her in the basement
07:13and don't hurt the baby in her stomach.
07:17The basement was pitch black.
07:18Victoria, terrified of dark spaces,
07:20pounded weakly on the door.
07:21A cold, slimy snake slithered across her ankle
07:23and she lost consciousness.
07:25I'm sorry.
07:26The door creaked open.
07:27Sebastian mundered and ran away.
07:29Victoria dragged herself out
07:30but was hit hard on the back of the head
07:31and kidnapped.
07:32Call your husband.
07:33We want one million dollars.
07:34My husband is poor.
07:36He doesn't have that kind of money.
07:38Don't lie.
07:38Everyone knows the Hughes family is rich.
07:40The kidnapper called Jonathan.
07:42Madeline whispered Victoria was extorting him.
07:43Tell her to drop the act
07:44and crawl back to the basement.
07:46I won't be forgiving next time.
07:47The men beat her
07:48and dumped her on a desolate stretch of land
07:50outside the city.
07:51Victoria lay in the dirt
07:52drowning in despair
07:53ready to give up.
07:55Her phone lit up.
07:57It was a text from Grandpa Liam.
07:58A tiny spark of hope
08:00flickered in her dead eyes.
08:01She forced herself to stand.
08:04She refused to die here.
08:06She was going to leave
08:07this hell behind forever.
08:08After surviving the kidnapping
08:10Victoria dragged her broken body
08:11back to the city.
08:12But before she could reach her mother
08:14the black family
08:15found her first.
08:16Did you really have to go this far
08:18tearing yourself apart
08:19just to put on a show?
08:21I should be the one
08:22asking you that Mr. Hughes.
08:24Did you really have to pretend
08:25to be a poor man
08:26for six whole years
08:26just to play a sick game with me?
08:28I have no idea
08:29what you're talking about.
08:30Your mother's surgery
08:31is about to start.
08:32Now oh hundred times
08:33in front of me
08:34and this card is yours.
08:35Victoria you killed her child
08:36you should atone.
08:37Mom just do it.
08:38Grandma can't wait
08:39much more longer.
08:41Begging you
08:42Madeline is in so much pain
08:43over losing her baby.
08:45As long as you let her child
08:46rest in peace
08:46she'll finally feel better.
08:49Victoria knew the child
08:50had never existed
08:51but her mother's life
08:52was still trapped
08:53in Madeline's hand
08:53so she swallowed her hatred
08:55and struck her forehead
08:56against the floor.
08:58I don't want to let you go.
08:59We'll get a real marriage certificate.
09:01Our family of four will be happy.
09:03Blood blooded her sight
09:03but no one stopped her.
09:06When Victoria woke up
09:07her phone was filled
09:08with missed calls
09:09from her mother's doctor.
09:11She rushed desperately
09:13toward the payment counter.
09:15There's money on this card!
09:17Do the surgery!
09:17Start the surgery right now!
09:19I'm sorry ma'am.
09:20This card has been frozen.
09:23What a shame.
09:24The Hughes family
09:25destroyed the Hawkins family.
09:26Your mother is the last loose end.
09:29Madeline's words words
09:30frozen Victoria's blood.
09:32If I were you
09:33I'd hurry and see your mother
09:34one last last time.
09:37Her mother was still
09:38inside that hospital room
09:39waiting for her.
09:42When Toria burst through the door
09:44she saw her mother
09:45strapped to the bed
09:46forced to watch her daughter
09:47being humiliated
09:47again and again.
09:51The screen showed
09:53Victoria's suffering
09:53then her love for Jonathan.
09:56Her mother had been forced
09:58to believe that her daughter
09:59betrayed the whole family.
10:04And then
10:05it was too late.
10:06The woman who had once
10:07protected her from every storm
10:08was gone.
10:11Her mother's last word
10:12was not love
10:13it was hatred.
10:14Then Jonathan finally called.
10:18I forgot to unfreeze
10:19the card earlier
10:20you can use it now.
10:21Be good.
10:21Tomorrow
10:21I'll bring Sebastian
10:22to visit your mother.
10:23He finally unlocked the money
10:24but everything was already
10:25too late.
10:26When Victoria opened her eyes again
10:28she was already on a plane.
10:29I'm deeply sorry
10:30about your mother.
10:31The plane hasn't taken off yet.
10:32Do you want to say goodbye
10:33to your husband and your son?
10:34No need.
10:35She left the city
10:36the man
10:37and the son she once loved behind.
10:39After Victoria hung up
10:40Jonathan finally sensed
10:42something was wrong.
10:43Dad
10:43what's wrong with mom?
10:44She's probably just angry.
10:46I think she already knows
10:47about me and Madeline.
10:48For the first time
10:49Sebastian was afraid
10:50his mother might truly leave.
10:52Then what do we do?
10:53I'll divorce Madeline.
10:55I'll explain everything
10:55to Victoria.
10:57Whatever she wants
10:57I'll give it to her.
10:58Sebastian felt guilty
10:59toward Madeline
11:00but the thought of getting
11:01his mother back
11:02still relieved him.
11:03But someone had heard everything.
11:04Madeline stood outside the door
11:05holding the soup
11:06she had brought for him.
11:10You're going to leave me
11:12to marry the woman
11:13who killed my child?
11:14Her voice was broken
11:15but every tear
11:16was a performance.
11:17I hid the truth
11:18because Victoria would never
11:19agree to be the other woman.
11:20If I don't divorce you now
11:21she'll leave me forever ever.
11:24The guilt in his eyes
11:26was real
11:26but so was his fear
11:27of losing Victoria.
11:29I understand.
11:30No matter what you choose
11:32I'll support you.
11:33Then she turned away
11:34fragile enough
11:35to make him forget his anger.
11:37We grew up together.
11:38I've loved you
11:39for over 20 years.
11:40I really can't let you go.
11:42Don't worry.
11:43It won't happen that fast.
11:44If we divorce
11:45I'll compensate you properly.
11:46Madeline had bought
11:47herself time.
11:48Mr. Hughes
11:49the front desk
11:49just received a document.
11:50It looks like a miscarriage
11:51diagnosis report.
11:52And that report
11:52was about to destroy
11:53every lie.
11:55You're bothering me
11:55over something this trivial?
11:57But the moment
11:57Jonathan saw the report
11:59something inside him
12:00went cold.
12:01At the bottom of the page
12:02was a name he knew too well.
12:03Victoria Hawkins.
12:05His Victoria had miscarried.
12:10Where did this come from?
12:12Who sent it?
12:13Isn't she the cleaner
12:13your son kicked that day?
12:15She miscarried it back then.
12:17The cleaner.
12:18The kick.
12:19The blood.
12:20The baby they thought
12:21was still alive.
12:23It all crashed
12:24into Jonathan at once.
12:25Jonathan still wanted
12:26to believe it was a mistake.
12:29Look carefully.
12:30Is this the woman
12:31you're talking about?
12:33Yes.
12:34That's her.
12:36There was no mistake.
12:37The woman on the floor
12:38that day had been Victoria.
12:40And Sebastian had kicked
12:42his own unborn sister
12:43out of her body.
12:44Dad.
12:45What happened
12:45to my little sister?
12:47Jonathan's silence
12:48gave him the answer.
12:50I have to find her.
12:51I have to ask her
12:51why she never told me.
12:52He still did not understand.
12:54Victoria had not
12:55hidden the truth.
12:56He had simply never
12:57cared enough to see it.
12:59Jonathan!
13:03after Jonathan ran
13:04after Victoria
13:04Madeline had only
13:05one person left
13:06to hold on to.
13:10Seb.
13:11You have to help me.
13:13I don't want to divorce.
13:14I still want to take care
13:15of you.
13:15But didn't you just tell
13:16Dad you would support
13:17whatever he chose?
13:18For the first time,
13:20Sebastian heard
13:20the contradiction
13:21in her words.
13:24Were you lying to him?
13:26Like when you made
13:26me lie about Mom?
13:28If it weren't for you,
13:29my little sister
13:30wouldn't be gone.
13:31Mom wouldn't have
13:32suffered so much.
13:33He had known
13:33some of her lies,
13:34but he had chosen
13:35to help her anyway.
13:36She pushed her.
13:38But maybe it was
13:39my fault too.
13:40Madeline was not
13:41truly afraid
13:42of losing Jonathan.
13:42She was afraid
13:43of losing
13:44Sebastian's trust.
13:45No, Seb.
13:46I've been good to you
13:47for six years.
13:48Do you really think
13:49all of my love
13:49was fake?
13:50I don't know anymore.
13:54But the way Mom
13:55loved me,
13:56that had to be real.
13:57The love he once
13:58believed in
13:59began to collapse.
14:00And with that,
14:01Sebastian ran
14:02after his father.
14:04Jonathan went
14:04straight back
14:05to the tiny apartment
14:05where he had played
14:06poor for six years.
14:07It was still clean,
14:08still warm looking,
14:09but Victoria was gone.
14:10Victoria, come out.
14:11I know you're angry.
14:13Let's just talk.
14:14For the first time,
14:15the home he loved
14:15answered him with silence.
14:17Jonathan searched
14:17every place
14:18Victoria had ever worked.
14:19The club,
14:20the shoe counter,
14:21the restaurant,
14:22every answer
14:22was the same.
14:25She quit.
14:26She left.
14:27We don't know
14:27where she went.
14:29With nowhere else
14:30to go,
14:30he rushed to the hospital
14:32where Victoria's mother
14:33had been staying.
14:35But every ward
14:36he checked
14:36was empty.
14:39Are you looking
14:40for Miss Hawkins' mother?
14:42The card
14:43Mrs. Hawkins brought
14:44was locked.
14:45Her mother didn't get
14:45the emergency surgery
14:46in time.
14:48The frozen card,
14:49the missed calls,
14:50the delay.
14:51Every second
14:52had pushed
14:53Victoria's mother
14:53closer to death.
14:54Her mother?
14:55Is she still alive?
14:57I'm sorry.
14:58She passed away.
14:59Miss Hawks
15:00fainted from the shock.
15:02Later,
15:03a man in a suit
15:03took her away.
15:05He said he was
15:05taking her to see
15:06her grandfather.
15:07Jonathan had never
15:08cared about
15:08Victoria's mother.
15:09But now,
15:10her death meant
15:11Victoria was truly gone.
15:13By the time
15:13he returned home,
15:15he looked like
15:15a man hollowed out.
15:17Dad,
15:17where's Mom?
15:18Why didn't you
15:19bring her back?
15:19If you won't
15:20bring her back,
15:20I'll find her myself.
15:21Find what?
15:22She doesn't want
15:22you anymore.
15:23She left the country.
15:24She doesn't want
15:24either of us.
15:25It's all my fault.
15:26It's all because of me.
15:28Sebastian,
15:29Jonathan froze.
15:30Through his grief,
15:31he finally heard
15:31something was wrong.
15:33Sebastian,
15:33tell me,
15:34what do you mean
15:35it was your fault?
15:36The pressure
15:37finally broke
15:38the six-year-old child.
15:40Madeline was never
15:40pregnant.
15:41She can't get
15:42pregnant at all.
15:43There was no baby.
15:45There was no
15:46hemorrhage,
15:46no miscarriage.
15:48It was all a setup.
15:50The fake pregnancy,
15:51the stolen jewelry,
15:52the false testimony.
15:54She told me to lie.
15:55Mom never pushed her.
15:56The truth shattered
15:57the last piece
15:58of patience
15:58Jonathan had left.
16:02Jonathan,
16:03you're back.
16:04Why?
16:05Why did you do
16:06this to her?
16:06For the sake
16:07of the years
16:07they had known
16:08each other,
16:08he forced himself
16:09to let go.
16:10What else
16:11have you lied about?
16:16What is there
16:17to say?
16:17Yes,
16:18I did all of it.
16:19I did it
16:19because I love you.
16:21Did you expect
16:22me to watch you
16:22play house with her?
16:24For six years,
16:25she had waited
16:26in a mansion
16:26that felt like a cage.
16:29You wanted to
16:30throw me away
16:30for that woman?
16:31For one moment,
16:32Jonathan wondered
16:33if his lies
16:34had created
16:34this madness.
16:35But guilt
16:36was not forgiveness.
16:39Get out of the
16:40Hughes house.
16:40I never want
16:41to see your face
16:42again.
16:44In Australia,
16:45Victoria was given
16:46a few quiet days
16:47to recover.
16:48But grief
16:49could not be
16:50washed away
16:50like blood
16:51and dust.
16:56At the head
16:57of the dining
16:58table sat
16:58Liam Hawkins,
16:59the grandfather
17:00she had once
17:00refused to return
17:01to.
17:02Beside him
17:03sat a little boy
17:03Victoria had
17:04never seen
17:05before.
17:05Grandpa,
17:06is this your
17:07kid?
17:08Nonsense!
17:09What kind of
17:09question is that?
17:10How did Ethan
17:10raise a daughter
17:11like you?
17:12At the mention
17:12of her father's
17:13name,
17:14the faint spark
17:14in Victoria's
17:15eyes disappeared.
17:16Her father
17:17was gone,
17:18her mother
17:18was gone,
17:19and she felt
17:20utterly alone.
17:20I'm sorry
17:21about your
17:22mother,
17:23but I wasn't
17:24sure you would
17:25really leave
17:25the Hughes family,
17:26so I didn't
17:26step in.
17:29I understand.
17:30Victoria did
17:31not blame him.
17:32She blamed
17:32herself.
17:33Just when the
17:33silence threatened
17:34to swallow her,
17:35a small warm
17:36hand touched
17:36her sleeve.
17:38Please don't
17:39be sad.
17:40If you want
17:40to cry,
17:41it's okay.
17:42Hudson won't
17:42laugh at you.
17:43So your name
17:44is Hudson?
17:44You're so sweet.
17:46For the first
17:46time since
17:47everything fell
17:47apart,
17:48Victoria felt
17:48something gentle.
17:50Good.
17:50You two get
17:51along well.
17:53Spend the next
17:53few days with
17:54Hudson.
17:55After all,
17:55you're going
17:56to be his
17:56mother from
17:56now on.
17:57What?
17:58Soon after
17:59Victoria arrived
18:00at her
18:00grandfather's
18:01estate,
18:01Hudson dragged
18:02her to meet
18:02his father.
18:03Under the
18:03gazebo,
18:04a man was
18:04waiting for
18:05them.
18:05One glance
18:05was enough
18:06for Victoria
18:06to know he
18:07was nothing
18:07like she
18:07expected.
18:09Victoria,
18:10this is my
18:10dad Henry.
18:12Victoria forced
18:13herself to stay
18:13calm.
18:14No matter who
18:14this man was,
18:15this marriage
18:15could only be
18:16a deal.
18:16Hello,
18:17I'm Victoria.
18:18It is a
18:18pleasure to
18:18finally meet
18:19you,
18:19Mrs. Hawkins.
18:20Henry was
18:21calm,
18:21dangerous,
18:22and impossible
18:22to read,
18:23but Victoria
18:23had no room
18:24left for
18:24romance.
18:25She only
18:25needed a
18:25way back
18:26to revenge.
18:27I know
18:27you need
18:27a wife,
18:28and I'm
18:29willing to
18:29help take
18:29care of
18:30Hudson,
18:31but we have
18:31no emotional
18:32foundation.
18:33We can
18:34simply take
18:34what we need
18:35and cooperate.
18:37A few
18:37hours earlier,
18:38Liam had
18:39given Victoria
18:39the condition
18:40that forced
18:40her to
18:41come here.
18:42If you
18:43want to
18:43inherit
18:43everything I
18:44own,
18:44accept this
18:45marriage
18:46alliance.
18:46Your mother
18:47was murdered
18:47by them.
18:48Are you
18:48telling me
18:49you feel
18:49no hatred?
18:51If Victoria
18:51wanted revenge,
18:52she had to
18:53become his
18:53heir first.
18:54I refuse.
19:03Henry moved
19:04into the
19:04estate,
19:05and Victoria's
19:06quiet days
19:06ended.
19:08Victoria,
19:09come on,
19:09let's go have
19:10dinner.
19:11Hudson always
19:11promised it
19:12would be just
19:12the two of
19:12them,
19:13but Henry
19:14was always
19:14waiting.
19:15How about
19:16I take you
19:16out tonight?
19:17Just you
19:18and me.
19:20But dad
19:21said I had
19:21to bring you
19:22to him.
19:25Victoria finally
19:26escaped with
19:26Hudson to a
19:27private restaurant,
19:28or so she
19:28thought.
19:29Victoria thought
19:30she was
19:30finally ahead,
19:31but the game
19:32was never
19:32hers to
19:33play.
19:35Leaving me
19:35behind,
19:36Mrs. Hawkins?
19:36You're really
19:37breaking my
19:38heart.
19:39Building a
19:40relationship.
19:43I told you,
19:44this marriage
19:45is only
19:46cooperation.
19:48And I
19:48told you,
19:50I am
19:51serious.
19:54you want
19:55revenge?
19:56I can help
19:56you get it.
19:57As long as
19:58you give me a
19:58chance to
19:58love you.
20:01Three months
20:01later,
20:02the black
20:02family hosted
20:03a grand
20:03banquet.
20:05Dad,
20:06didn't you
20:07say you
20:07found mom?
20:08Why aren't
20:08we going to
20:09get her?
20:10After
20:10tonight,
20:11we'll go
20:11straight to
20:11her.
20:12Do you
20:13think mom
20:13will forgive
20:13me?
20:14Of course.
20:15You're her
20:15favorite person
20:16in the world.
20:19Jonathan,
20:20I was foolish
20:21before.
20:21I made
20:22so many
20:22mistakes.
20:23I only
20:24hope the
20:24black
20:24family and
20:25the Hughes
20:25family can
20:25move past
20:26this.
20:27Just as
20:28Madeline tried
20:28to reclaim
20:29the spotlight,
20:30the ballroom
20:30doors opened.
20:33Mrs. Black,
20:34it's been a
20:34long time.
20:35What are you
20:36doing here?
20:36The black
20:37family didn't
20:37invite you.
20:38I'm here
20:39representing the
20:39Edwards family.
20:40Am I not
20:41welcome?
20:41Any guest is
20:42a friend of
20:43ours.
20:43Of course
20:44you're welcome.
20:47What's wrong,
20:47Madeline?
20:48Are you scared?
20:49Don't worry,
20:50I haven't
20:51even started
20:51yet.
20:53But now
20:54that I'm
20:54back,
20:55I'll make
20:55sure you
20:56pay for
20:56what you
20:56did.
20:58Madeline
20:58ran from
20:58the room
20:59in terror.
21:00Victoria,
21:00God,
21:01I missed
21:01you so
21:02much.
21:03Jonathan
21:03thought
21:03Victoria
21:03had come
21:04back for
21:04him.
21:06But without
21:07hesitation,
21:07she slapped
21:08him across
21:08the face.
21:12You've
21:12gotten brave,
21:13haven't you?
21:13You actually
21:14dare to
21:14hit me
21:14now.
21:16We are
21:17strangers.
21:18Strangers?
21:19We're
21:19husband and
21:20wife.
21:20Husband and
21:21wife?
21:21Did we
21:22ever have
21:22a marriage
21:22certificate?
21:27You tricked
21:28me into
21:28being your
21:29mistress for
21:29six years.
21:30But we
21:30still have
21:31Sebastian.
21:32Mom,
21:33I missed
21:34you so
21:34much.
21:35For one
21:36second,
21:37Victoria almost
21:38forgot how
21:38much he
21:38had hurt
21:39her.
21:39Then
21:39Victoria gently
21:40pushed
21:40Sebastian
21:41away.
21:42Mom,
21:43do you
21:43really not
21:44want me
21:44anymore?
21:45We
21:45share
21:45blood.
21:46That
21:46will
21:46never
21:46change.
21:47But right
21:48now,
21:48I don't
21:49want to
21:49look at
21:49you.
21:50You're
21:50his
21:50mother.
21:51How
21:51can
21:51you
21:51say
21:52that
21:52to
21:52him?
21:52When
21:53he
21:53helped
21:53Madeline
21:53frame me,
21:54did he
21:54remember I
21:54was his
21:54mother?
21:55I've
21:55divorced
21:56Madeline.
21:56Sebastian
21:57will
21:57never
21:57speak
21:57to
21:57her
21:57again.
21:58Come
21:58back
21:58to
21:58us.
21:59One
21:59divorce
21:59cannot
21:59erase
21:59six
22:00years
22:00of
22:00lies.
22:01Don't
22:01follow
22:01me.
22:01Don't
22:02make
22:02me
22:02despise
22:02you
22:02both
22:02even
22:03more.
22:07But
22:07when
22:07Victoria
22:07to
22:08print
22:08her
22:08returned
22:08to
22:08her
22:08hotel,
22:09Madeline
22:09struck
22:10back
22:10online.
22:11A

22:11wrecker
22:11forced
22:12her
22:12way
22:12into
22:12my
22:12marriage.
22:13Within
22:13hours,
22:14Victoria's
22:14photos
22:15were
22:15everywhere.
22:16It
22:16seems
22:16Miss
22:16Hawkins
22:16has

22:18Do

22:23I'm

22:24the

22:24And
22:25Hudson
22:25came
22:25along
22:25too.
22:27By
22:28morning,
22:28the

22:29scandal
22:29had
22:29disappeared
22:30from
22:30the

22:31Then
22:32Jonathan
22:32called.
22:34Open
22:35the
22:35door.
22:35Let's

23:02Help

23:04Madeline

23:05but
23:05she
23:05only
23:05couldn't

23:10What?
23:11She

23:14The

23:14day,
23:15Sebastian

23:16Victoria's
23:16hotel

23:23Why

23:25Dad
23:25said
23:26Madeline

23:27Jonathan

23:27forced
23:28the
23:28black
23:28family
23:28to
23:28abandon
