00:00All right, I know you're drunk. I'm already at your hotel room door.
00:08Does your girlfriend know you're here with me?
00:10Don't say her name right now.
00:16I'm just winning.
00:17That voice. I've heard it in my dreams for ten years.
00:21My boyfriend dumped me yesterday, my client got me wasted tonight,
00:24and now the people next door are having the best night of their lives.
00:27I hate the universe.
00:29Relax. She'll never know.
00:31Girls like Stella always believe what they want to believe.
00:34Chloe, I said stop talking about her.
00:39Stella, why do you look like you just saw a ghost?
00:44Because I think I just heard one.
00:50What are you talking about?
00:51That's Adrian.
00:52Adrian Blackwood? You're Adrian?
00:54The man who's supposed to marry you?
00:59I'm breaking that door down.
01:01No.
01:01No, Stella.
01:02He's cheating on you.
01:04If I open that door, I'll have to see it.
01:10Maybe you need to.
01:11No.
01:12Not tonight.
01:18You just lied to her, didn't you?
01:21She trusts me.
01:22He didn't just cheat.
01:24He lied while I was standing on the other side of the wall.
01:42I have to go home tonight.
01:44I'll see you at the office tomorrow.
01:46Drive safe, Mr. Blackwood.
01:48Everyone said Adrian Blackwood loved me more than life.
01:53I was stupid enough to believe them.
02:02Why are you still awake?
02:05Couldn't sleep.
02:08You should have called me.
02:10I did.
02:13My phone died during a meeting.
02:17Long meeting.
02:19Project Crisis, you know how it gets.
02:23At midnight.
02:25Stella, are you interrogating me?
02:27I'm just asking where you were.
02:31Baby, I told you.
02:33I was working.
02:39What's going on with you?
02:41I could ask you the same thing.
02:43I'm exhausted.
02:43I don't want to fight.
02:45Neither do I.
02:51Who's Chloe?
02:54My new assistant.
02:56Since when do assistants call at two in the morning?
03:17He once said that, that seat was mine.
03:28Please tell me you're not doing something emotionally stupid.
03:32I'm watching him choose her in real time.
03:34Where are you?
03:36Outside Blackwood.
03:37Do you want me to come with a baseball bat or a lawyer?
03:41Neither.
03:42I just needed to know I wasn't crazy.
03:44Adrian, some men don't make promises.
03:47They just make you feel chosen.
03:51So does he.
03:52That little snake knows exactly what she's doing.
03:56Then stop protecting him.
03:58I'm not protecting him anymore.
04:03You're late.
04:06So are you.
04:08What does that mean?
04:11Tell me, Adrian.
04:14How long has my seat belonged to her?
04:21You're stalking my assistant now?
04:24That's your defense?
04:26Chloe posts everything.
04:27It doesn't mean anything.
04:33Then explain the hotel.
04:36Room 603.
04:38Last night, I called you.
04:40Stella.
04:41Your phone rang through the wall.
04:44I heard you.
04:45It wasn't what you think.
04:46Don't insult me!
04:47I was drunk.
04:47She took me there.
04:48I didn't plan it.
04:49You didn't plan to sleep with her, but you planned every lie after.
04:51It happened once.
04:54Once doesn't get her into your car.
04:56Once doesn't put my scarf on her body.
04:58Once doesn't make her wear the watch I bought you.
05:02You didn't make one mistake.
05:04You made a thousand choices.
05:06I love you.
05:10No.
05:11You love being loved by me.
05:17What are you doing?
05:18What I should have done the moment I heard your phone ring.
05:21You can't leave me over one night.
05:25I'm not leaving because of one night.
05:27I'm leaving because you came home and lied to my face.
05:30You owe me a chance.
05:32No, Adrian.
05:34You owe me ten years.
05:47You're not thinking clearly.
05:49I've never been clearer.
05:52You don't get to throw away ten years because of one mistake.
05:57It wasn't one mistake.
05:59It was a pattern.
06:03I said I'm sorry.
06:06You said it because you got caught.
06:10I was drunk.
06:12Were you drunk when you let her sit in my seat?
06:16Were you drunk when she wore my scarf?
06:23She's my assistant.
06:24I can't control everything she posts.
06:27No.
06:29You just enjoyed it.
06:33Where are you going?
06:34Anywhere you aren't.
06:35You're being dramatic.
06:39You cheated.
06:40You lied.
06:42You let another woman parade around in pieces of my life.
06:46And somehow, I'm the dramatic one.
06:54I love you, Stella.
06:55No.
06:56You love having me waiting at home while you play savior to someone else.
07:01If you walk out, don't expect me to chase you.
07:03I'm not asking you to chase me.
07:06I'm telling you I'm gone.
07:15Chloe, what happened?
07:29Mrs. Hayes?
07:32Mr. Blackwood is in a meeting.
07:34I'm not here for him.
07:37Oh.
07:38You must be Stella.
07:42Moving out already?
07:43That was fast.
07:44Stealing someone's boyfriend usually moves things along.
07:49I didn't steal anyone.
07:51Adrian makes his own choices.
07:54That might be the first honest thing you've said.
07:57I know this is hard for you.
07:59Adrian told me your history with his family is complicated.
08:02It's complicated.
08:03I mean, they took you in when you had nowhere to go.
08:05It must be scary losing that safety bet.
08:08Relax.
08:09I don't waste good coffee on trash.
08:12Why are you humiliating me?
08:13I was just trying to be kind.
08:15I was just trying to be kind.
08:24Adrian, please don't be mad at her.
08:26She's just hurt.
08:29What did you do?
08:32Interesting.
08:33You didn't even ask what happened.
08:44Apologize to Chloe.
08:46You brought another woman into our bed, and now you want me to apologize to her?
08:50Lower your voice.
08:52Why?
08:53Afraid your employees might find out their CEO lies better than he leads?
08:57I never wanted to hurt you.
09:00Then why were you wearing my scarf in his car?
09:04I didn't know it was hers.
09:08It was just a scarf, Stella.
09:11To you, maybe.
09:13But to me...
09:15To me, it was one more piece of my life you handed to her.
09:18Enough!
09:19You're embarrassing yourself!
09:21No, Adrian.
09:22I'm embarrassing you.
09:26Say you're sorry.
09:27Now!
09:29Touchy morning at Blackwood, huh?
09:37You okay?
09:41Who gave you permission to bully my employee?
09:43This is between me and Stella.
09:47Not when you humiliate her in public.
09:49Mr. Pierce, you don't understand.
09:50And she attacked me first.
09:52Sweetheart, I bill by the hour.
09:54Don't waste it lying.
10:03What is this?
10:04A formal notice.
10:06Mrs. Hayes is here to retrieve personal property.
10:08Any interference will be documented.
10:10This is unnecessary.
10:12This is unnecessary.
10:14Cheaters always think paperwork is unnecessary.
10:17Watch your mouth.
10:18Make me.
10:19Logan, let's go.
10:22After you.
10:24I'd advise against touching her.
10:27Let her go.
10:29She's just trying to make you jealous.
10:37Different car.
10:39Different man.
10:40You always this arrogant?
10:42Only when I'm right.
10:44You carry emergency coffee now.
10:46I carry solutions.
10:48Coffee is one of them.
10:50Cry if you need to.
10:52I'll pretend traffic is fascinating.
10:55I'm not crying over him.
10:57Good.
10:59He doesn't look worth the mascara.
11:02He doesn't look worth the mascara.
11:12Stella!
11:26Did you enjoy humiliating me today?
11:28That's what you think happened.
11:30You brought Logan Pierce to my company.
11:33No.
11:33He came because you cornered me in front of your employees.
11:37He wants you.
11:39And suddenly you care what another man wants?
11:44You're using him to punish me.
11:46You punished yourself.
11:48I made a mistake.
11:50But you're acting like I'm some monster.
11:52You let her mock me.
11:54Chloe is emotional.
11:56She didn't mean it.
11:58She wore my scarf.
12:00She sat in my seat.
12:02She called you Adrian in front of me.
12:03She meant every second of it.
12:06You're making her bigger than she is.
12:08No, Adrian.
12:10You made her important.
12:13If you leave tonight, I won't keep covering for you.
12:16Covering for me?
12:18People at Black Hood still think of you as family because I allowed it.
12:22Without me, you're just the girl my parents took pity on.
12:31For what?
12:34For finally sounding like the man you really are.
12:46What is it?
12:50Tell me she didn't take this from your safe.
13:06That necklace was my mother's.
13:08Stella, calm down.
13:10Don't you dare tell me to calm down.
13:12I trusted you with the only thing my mother left me.
13:16And you let your mistress wear it.
13:18Don't call her that.
13:20That's what bothers you?
13:22Not that she stole my mother's necklace.
13:24Not that she sent me that photo.
13:25But that I called her what she is.
13:28I don't know how she got it.
13:29I'll handle it.
13:30Where are you going?
13:33To get back what's mine.
13:35It's late.
13:36Don't make a scene at my office.
13:40Your office?
13:42My mother's necklace is around her neck.
13:46There will be a scene.
13:55Stella, you really shouldn't be here.
13:57Take it off.
13:58Oh, this?
14:00Adrian gave it to me.
14:01That belonged to my dead mother.
14:04I didn't know.
14:05Adrian said it was just sitting in his safe.
14:09Did you give it to her?
14:11Adrian, I swear I didn't know.
14:13You said I could borrow something pretty for the gala.
14:17It was temporary.
14:18You opened the safet.
14:20Stella, it's a necklace.
14:22No.
14:23It was proof I trusted you.
14:26Take it off.
14:29Adrian, she's scaring me.
14:43Move.
14:44Not until you stop acting like this.
14:47She's wearing my dead mother's necklace and I'm the problem.
14:51I'll give it back.
14:52I just don't want her to touch me.
14:54Then take it off yourself.
14:56Ow.
14:57Ow.
14:57Adrian, it's stuck.
15:03Give it to me.
15:04I need you to promise this ends here.
15:07Excuse me?
15:08No posts, no lawyers, no public drama.
15:11Chloe made a mistake.
15:12She stole from me.
15:13And you got it back.
15:14You're protecting her.
15:15I'm protecting all of us.
15:17No.
15:17You're protecting your image.
15:19Do you know what a thief accusation against my assistant would do to my company?
15:24So my mother's necklace is less important than your stock price.
15:29Thank you for clarifying.
15:37Don't make me your enemy, Stella.
15:41You already did.
15:43I really didn't mean to hurt you.
15:45Yes, you did.
15:47And next time you touch anything that belongs to me, I won't ask nicely.
15:52That's in the off, Stella!
15:57Take it off!
16:00Adrian, she's scaring me!
16:08Mrs. Hayes, your access has been suspended.
16:12By whom?
16:15Mr. Blackwood's office.
16:17Ma'am, if you don't have clearance, you'll need to leave.
16:22Stella.
16:23You froze my access.
16:24Temporarily.
16:25After last night, I think it's best.
16:26Best for who?
16:27For everyone.
16:28You need space.
16:29No.
16:30You needed to keep me away from Chloe.
16:32Stella, please don't make this harder.
16:33Adrian is just trying to prevent another incident.
16:36Another incident?
16:37Last night, you threatened me.
16:40You recorded me.
16:41Stella, go home.
16:43Home.
16:44You made sure I don't have one here.
16:46Ma'am, please.
16:48Touch her and your retirement plan becomes a lawsuit.
16:52Is that Logan?
16:54Miss me already, Blackwood?
16:56Stay out of this!
16:57Too late.
16:58You just turned this into a legal matter.
17:03You really think your new boss and his fancy lawyer can protect you from me?
17:14I think the truth will.
17:15And I'll make sure no one believes yours.
17:27For the lawyer, the car, or stopping you from committing a very elegant murder in the lobby.
17:31I wasn't going to murder her.
17:33Good.
17:34Orange isn't your color.
17:35He knew what this meant to me.
17:37Then he knew exactly where to cut.
17:41You don't have to keep showing up for me.
17:43I don't do things I don't want to do.
17:45Lock your door.
17:46Call me if anything feels wrong.
17:49Bossy.
17:50Alive employees are my favorite kind.
18:02Ma'am, should we keep surveillance down here?
18:04Yes.
18:05Stay focused.
18:08I need a favor.
18:09Find out everything about Stella Hayes.
18:11Starting with where she's staying.
18:13How dirty do you want this to get?
18:16Dirty enough that no one believes a word she says.
18:23How did you find my address?
18:28I just wanted to talk.
18:29Then turn off your camera.
18:31I'm not recording you.
18:33You lie worse than Adrian.
18:35Why do you hate me so much?
18:36I don't hate you.
18:38I'm disgusted by you.
18:39I love him.
18:40You love his name, his money, his family, his last name.
18:44And yet he picked me.
18:46No.
18:47He lowered himself to you.
18:48Please stop.
18:49I'm not trying to take anything from you.
18:51Chloe.
18:52I know you grew up with him.
18:54I know his family took you in.
18:56But you can't use that to control him forever.
18:58You don't get to talk about my past.
19:00Then stop using it to ruin my future.
19:02Don't touch me!
19:04Ah!
19:04Ah!
19:06Ah!
19:06Ah!
19:06Ah!
19:07Ah!
19:07Ah!
19:08Ah!
19:10Ah!
19:11Ah!
19:12Ah!
19:13Ah!
19:16Ah!
19:21Ah!
19:36Ah!
19:38Ah!
19:40Ah!
19:40Ah!
19:42Ah!
19:43Heads to pressure Adrian.
19:44Is it true you threaten his new girlfriend?
19:52Move.
19:53Did you threaten Chloe because Adrian chose her?
19:55Do you deny being obsessed with him?
20:01Oops.
20:02Karma spills.
20:04Stella, any comments?
20:06Yeah.
20:07I have one.
20:12Logan.
20:12Don't look at them.
20:14Look at me.
20:15Every camera here just recorded harassment.
20:17Say one more word about her past, her family, or her body,
20:21and you'll hear from my lawyers before lunch.
20:24Are you two involved?
20:26She's under my protection.
20:36Did you call the reporters?
20:39She attacked me.
20:40I was scared.
20:41Why are you questioning me?
21:02Keep it on.
21:05I'm fine.
21:06You're shaking.
21:13I'm not him.
21:15If you say stop, I stop.
21:25Eyes up, Stella.
21:33You always rescue women in elevators.
21:36Only the stubborn ones who refuse to admit they need rescuing.
21:40I didn't ask you to protect me.
21:42I know.
21:44That's why I'm asking now.
21:48Do you want me to step back?
21:57Get your hands off her!
21:59Do you want me to?
22:01No.
22:10You're making a mistake.
22:12I learned from the best.
22:15I came to fix this.
22:17Funny.
22:18Every time you say that, she ends up bleeding.
22:20This is none of your business.
22:22It became his business when you sent reporters to my office.
22:25I didn't send them.
22:33Chloe was scared.
22:34She posted out of fear.
22:36She cut out everything she said to me.
22:39Maybe she panicked.
22:40She edited, captioned, tagged three gossip accounts, and pinned the worst comments.
22:45That's not panic.
22:46That's strategy.
22:48You know she did this on purpose.
22:50What I know is this scandal is hurting everyone.
22:53Everyone.
22:57Blackwood's board is asking questions.
22:59Investors are nervous.
23:00Chloe is getting death threats.
23:02And me.
23:05I got coffee thrown on me this morning.
23:07My childhood is trending like bossop.
23:11People are calling me a parasite because your mistress lied.
23:16Then make a statement.
23:18Say you misunderstood, Chloe.
23:19Say you overreacted.
23:22You want me to apologize?
23:24I want you to help stop this before it destroys more lives.
23:28You don't get to sacrifice her twice.
23:32Stay out of it, Logan.
23:34Make me.
23:36You came here to ask me to lie for the woman you cheated with.
23:47Say it again.
23:54You're recording me now.
23:57I'm learning to protect myself.
23:59From me?
24:00Especially from you.
24:03Bad idea.
24:13Stella.
24:19I hate that he can still hurt me.
24:21That doesn't make you weak.
24:23He gave her my things.
24:25My seat.
24:26My scarf.
24:27My mother's necklace.
24:29And now he wants my apology too.
24:31He doesn't get to take anything else.
24:34You say that like you can stop him.
24:37I can.
24:40But I'd rather help you destroy him yourself.
24:43Why?
24:43Because you're not a sad story, Stella.
24:46You're a warning.
24:55I can't use you to forget him.
24:58Then don't.
25:00When you kiss me again, I want you to mean it.
25:19Don't.
25:21I didn't say anything.
25:24You were thinking loudly.
25:26I was thinking you're terrible with keys when you're nervous.
25:29I'm not nervous.
25:33Good.
25:34Then you won't mind me standing this close.
25:45How about the kiss?
25:47The one you started.
25:48It was a mistake.
25:50No.
25:51It wasn't.
25:53A mistake is something you don't want to do again.
25:56You look like you wanted to.
26:01Relax.
26:02I'm not collecting kisses from women who are bleeding.
26:05I'm not bleeding.
26:06You are.
26:08Just not where people can see.
26:10I don't know who I am without him yet.
26:15Then find out.
26:18I'll be nearby.
26:20Not in front of you.
26:21Not behind you.
26:23Nearby.
26:44Is that blood?
26:46Don't touch anything.
26:49Daniel, get security footage now.
26:57I've got you.
27:08We'll test the liquid.
27:10Could be animal blood, fake blood, anything.
27:14And the threat?
27:16We'll file a report.
27:18She doesn't need a report.
27:20She needs protection.
27:32You don't have to stay.
27:33I know.
27:34I'm staying anyway.
27:35Argue with me tomorrow.
27:36Tonight save your energy.
27:45Are you always this bossy?
27:48Only when someone sends blood to my employee.
27:50Employee.
27:51For now.
28:13That's not Chloe.
28:20Chloe used a middleman.
28:24There's more.
28:25Vanessa posted a teaser ten minutes ago.
28:28Tomorrow, I'm exposing the truth about the obsessed ex who terrorized an innocent girl.
28:32And trust me, her past is worse than you think.
28:36Stella, look at me.
28:39They're gonna turn my childhood into content.
28:42Then we turn their lies into evidence.
28:59Stella.
29:02Did you authorize Chloe to access Pierce Creative's proposal?
29:07Where did you get this?
29:09That's your first question.
29:12This is company property.
29:14You shouldn't have it.
29:15And Chloe should.
29:18Don't touch me.
29:20Chloe was helping me organize old project files.
29:23That's all.
29:25Old project files don't end up in a competitor's pitch.
29:30You don't know that she leaked it.
29:33Her device opened the file.
29:36Someone could have used her device.
29:39You'll defend her before you even ask what happened to me.
29:42Because every time something happens, you make it about Chloe.
29:47Every time.
29:49She wore my mother's necklace.
29:51She filmed me.
29:53She sent reporters after me.
29:56Let it him.
29:57And now she used your access to steal my work!
30:01You don't have proof she sent reporters.
30:03No.
30:04But I have proof you keep giving her weapons.
30:08Access.
30:10Protection.
30:11Excuses.
30:12My things.
30:13My name.
30:14My silence.
30:16What else are you going to hand her, Adrian?
30:25Adrian, is she accusing me again?
30:28Your device opened my proposal.
30:32I opened what you told me to open.
30:34You said they were old files.
30:36See?
30:38She didn't even know what it was.
30:42That's your defense?
30:43Why do you hate me so much, Stella?
30:47Because Adrian trusts me now?
30:50He gave you access to my work.
30:54Maybe he trusted me because I don't turn every problem into a public breakdown.
31:01You're waving company records around like you still belong here.
31:06I'm here because you stole from me.
31:09No, Stella.
31:11You lost something.
31:12There's a difference.
31:14You keep giving her weapons.
31:16I gave her work access.
31:19You're twisting it because you're angry.
31:26After everything his family did for you?
31:29You're trying to ruin his company?
31:33Maybe you just can't stand that Blackwood doesn't need you anymore.
31:38You're letting her say that?
31:41She's under a lot of pressure because of you.
31:45Because of me?
31:48I'm scared of what she'll do next.
31:51You need to stop.
31:56I'm done stopping.
31:59Stella...
32:00I'm done accusing.
32:01Next time.
32:03Next time, I'll sue.
32:08Don't threaten her.
32:12You're still doing it.
32:14If you drag Chloe into a lawsuit, I'll have to respond.
32:17Then respond.
32:23Some women lose a man and try to destroy his entire life.
32:35That's her.
32:36The ex from the viral video.
32:38I heard the Blackwoods took her in as a teenager.
32:42Messy.
32:43Very messy.
32:46You came.
32:47You asked me to.
32:48You don't have to face this alone.
32:56He brought her here.
33:01Mrs. Blackwood, thank you for having me.
33:05I didn't.
33:07Mom.
33:08Don't mum me.
33:09Not tonight.
33:12Chloe.
33:14I'm sorry.
33:15I've just been dizzy lately.
33:18I didn't want to announce it like this.
33:23Announce what?
33:26I might be pregnant.
33:31Is it yours?
33:33I'm sorry, Stella.
33:35I know this hurts you.
33:44Answer me.
33:45Is the child yours?
33:50We're still figuring things out.
33:52Of course you are.
33:55Stella, don't do this here.
33:58I'm not the one who brought a pregnancy announcement to your mother's charity gala.
34:03I didn't mean to steal the spotlight.
34:06I just felt sick.
34:08You always know exactly where the spotlight is.
34:11Adrian, I can't do this.
34:15Adrian, step away from her.
34:21You brought scandal into my home.
34:24Into my event.
34:25And now you stand there protecting it.
34:27Mom, Chloe might be carrying my child.
34:34So he cheated and got the assistant pregnant?
34:38What about Stella?
34:40Old story.
34:41Men like him always move on.
34:53Stella, are you okay in there?
34:58I saw your dress earlier.
35:00The zipper looked fragile.
35:02You mean after you touched it?
35:04I was just trying to help.
35:07You're terrible at pretending you're innocent.
35:14Adrian didn't believe you about the necklace.
35:16He won't believe about this either.
35:19Careful.
35:20One wrong move and everyone out there gets another show.
35:25Stella.
35:27Mr. Pierce, this is a ladies' room.
35:30And yet somehow the most poisonous thing in it isn't the perfume.
35:35Logan, I need a minute.
35:37Chloe, out.
35:40Now.
35:49Do you want me to get Mia or Evelyn?
35:53No, just help me with the zipper.
36:00Oh.
36:03Tell me if I'm too close.
36:06You're always too close.
36:08And yet you haven't asked me to leave.
36:20You're going to lose your cuff ring.
36:24Keep it.
36:26I like leaving expensive things on beautiful women.
36:29Stella!
36:38My baby!
36:45What did you do?
36:55She pushed a pregnant woman?
36:57That's criminal.
36:58I knew that ex was unstable.
37:01I was in the restroom with Logan.
37:03I came out when I heard her scream.
37:05You expect me to believe that?
37:06You believed every lie she told you.
37:10But when I tell the truth, suddenly you need proof.
37:14Please, don't fight.
37:16Just save the baby.
37:22What happened?
37:24Ask her.
37:26You're accusing me in front of everyone?
37:28If anything happens to my child, I won't forgive you.
37:35You don't even know if there is a child.
37:37Enough.
37:38Keep her here until the police arrive.
37:43Touch her, and I break your wrist legally.
37:46She hurt my child.
37:49What child?
37:56Daniel, get the hallway footage.
38:01Adrian, please.
38:03Take me to the halls.
38:07Funny.
38:08Liars always hate cameras.
38:15Don't blame Stella.
38:22Tell me the truth.
38:23I already did.
38:24Did you follow her?
38:25No.
38:26Did you threaten her?
38:27No.
38:28Did you want her gone?
38:31I wanted my life back.
38:34So you admit you hated her?
38:38You came here for a confession, not the truth.
38:40Back off, Blackwood.
38:43This is between me and the woman who may have killed my child.
38:46Say that again.
38:47If she push Chloe, I'll make sure she pays.
38:51You really think I could do that?
38:55After ten years, that's what you think of me.
38:58Adrian, please.
39:00Adrian!
39:02If you leave with her now, don't ever come back asking me to remember who you used to be.
39:14I'm sorry.
39:16Don't be.
39:19I don't need him to believe me anymore.
39:22Good.
39:23The hallway camera was disabled ten minutes before Chloe fell.
39:28Who disabled it?
39:35Adrian's account.
39:45You've been quiet for six blocks.
39:47I'm thinking.
39:49That sounds dangerous.
39:53He really thought I could hurt a baby.
39:57He thought what was convenient.
40:01Is that supposed to make me feel better?
40:03I'm bad at comfort.
40:05Excellent at revenge.
40:08That's not something normal people admit.
40:11Normal people bore me.
40:13Everyone looked at me like I was guilty.
40:15I didn't.
40:17I believe you.
40:19Why?
40:20Because you don't destroy people from the shadows.
40:23You look them in the eye first.
40:27That's a compliment.
40:29For me, practically poetry.
40:35Careful.
40:37What?
40:38If you keep looking at me like that, I'll start thinking you mean it.
40:41Go upstairs.
40:43Lock the door.
40:43I'll call when Daniel has the footage.
40:51Logan.
40:53Thank you for believing me before the footage did.
40:55Stella.
40:56Evidence is for the world.
40:57Not for me.
41:13That psycho threw herself down the stairs?
41:15She checked for witnesses first.
41:17She wanted everyone to think I did it.
41:21And now everyone will know she did it to herself.
41:25There's more.
41:28Chloe's pregnancy report.
41:30Let me guess.
41:32Fake?
41:33The clinic confirms no patient named Chloe Taylor was tested that day.
41:40We found the staff member who forged the letterhead.
41:42He's willing to testify.
41:44So there was never a baby?
41:46No.
41:47Just a weapon.
41:50Adrian accused me of hurting a child that never existed.
41:55Please let me punch him.
41:57Just once.
41:58I'll pay for bail.
41:59Tempting.
41:59But lawsuits leave better scars.
42:02What about the proposal leak?
42:05Chloe received a transfer from Winston Media three hours after your file was downloaded.
42:11And the access approval came through Adrian's executive account.
42:15We have sabotage, fraud, defamation, and harassment.
42:19That's not a scandal.
42:20That's a buffet.
42:21We can release everything now.
42:23Burn her.
42:25It's your call.
42:31Not yet.
42:32What do you mean not yet?
42:34If we release it now, she'll cry and call it fake.
42:37So let her lie where everyone can hear her.
42:40Now you're thinking like me.
42:48Tonight, my truth.
42:51What Stella Hayes did to me and my unborn child.
42:56Good.
42:57Let her bury herself.
43:03If you're here to make me apologize again, save your breath.
43:07Chloe is going live tonight.
43:09I know.
43:10Then you know this could ruin everyone.
43:12No, Adrian.
43:13It could ruin you.
43:14The Blackwood board is already on edge.
43:17Investors are calling.
43:18My father is furious.
43:20And somehow that is still about you.
43:22I am trying to make you smart.
43:25No.
43:25You made me silent.
43:28Did you know Chloe faked the pregnancy?
43:32You knew.
43:34And you still let her accuse me of hurting her baby?
43:38I suspected.
43:40You looked me in the eye and let me stand there like a murderer.
43:43I was trying to contain the situation.
43:45You mean contain me.
43:46If this goes public, Chloe goes down, I go down, Blackwood goes down.
43:49Then tell the truth first.
43:50Go on camera and you cheated.
43:51Admit you protected her.
43:52Admit you let her use your access to hurt me.
43:54You know I can't do that.
43:55Then you didn't come for forgiveness.
43:56You came to ask me to die quietly so you could survive loudly.
44:00You lost the right to say that.
44:02Stella, we were supposed to get married.
44:05Don't.
44:14Perfect.
44:24Stella, why did you throw away the ring after Chloe lost her baby?
44:27Do you feel any remorse?
44:38Mr. Pierce, are you hiding her because she's guilty?
44:41No.
44:42I'm hiding her because vultures like you mistake blood for dinner.
44:50You have a habit of dragging me into expensive rooms.
44:53You have a habit of being chased by idiots.
44:57Show me your hand.
45:00I'm going to ruin them.
45:02That sounds almost romantic.
45:04I can do romantic.
45:05I'm choosing restraint.
45:07Logan.
45:08If you say stop, I stop.
45:11Stella Hayes, we know you're in there.
45:14Ready to let her bury herself?
45:16Start digging.
45:20I didn't want to do this.
45:22But Stella Hayes won't stop attacking me.
45:27And yet, he picked me.
45:30Please.
45:32Stella, stop threatening me.
45:34I just love him.
45:35Don't be nice, Stella.
45:36She called me disgusting.
45:39She threatened me.
45:40I was terrified.
45:43I know the Blackwoods took you in, but you can't use pity to keep Adrian forever.
45:48She just called me trash.
45:50I was only trying to be kind.
45:53Adrian gave it to me.
45:59Your call.
46:00We can stop here.
46:07No.
46:10She hasn't lied about the baby yet.
46:13I still feel the fall.
46:15I still hear myself screaming for my baby.
46:19She said it.
46:20Release the stairwell footage.
46:38What video?
46:39I don't know what you're talking about.
46:42That's fake.
46:43That has to be fake.
46:49Not yet.
46:50She'll reach for the baby lie next.
46:52Even if I fell by myself, Stella caused it.
46:55She terrorized me.
46:57She put my baby in danger.
46:59My baby.
47:00Clinic file.
47:01Releasing in 30 seconds.
47:03A mother, girl.
47:04You're not even a good actress.
47:11No.
47:12No.
47:13That's private medical information.
47:15They can't...
47:25That's not what it looks like.
47:29Everyone is asking why Stella Hayes is so desperate to destroy the Blackwoods.
47:33Maybe it's because they were the only family she ever had.
47:36Her mother left.
47:38Her father gambled her life away.
47:40Then the Blackwoods took her in.
47:41And this is how she repays them.
47:44And a rope that influences extensions out one by one.
47:47Daniel is preparing a defamation notice.
47:51It won't erase what people already saw.
47:53No.
47:54But it makes them pay for looking.
47:59Sweetheart, turn on channel six.
48:03Mrs. Blackwood, is it true Stella Hayes was taken in by your family as a charity case?
48:07No.
48:08Stella Hayes is my daughter.
48:10Not by blood.
48:11By choice.
48:13And choice is the only kind of family that ever mattered to me.
48:17But your biological son is now under investigation because of her accusations.
48:21My son is under investigation because of his own actions.
48:25Stella owes us nothing.
48:26I am choosing the truth over a coward.
48:29And if I must lose a son to protect my daughter, then my son should have behaved like one.
48:40Stella, for days people have been talking about your past, your relationship, and the Blackwoods.
48:46Why speak now?
48:49Because people have been telling my story like it's gossip.
48:52It's not.
48:53It's my life.
48:55Is it true your father gambled away your home?
48:57Too far.
49:00Yes.
49:02He was violent.
49:03He was drunk.
49:04He made choices.
49:05No child should have to survive.
49:07But being hurt as a child did not make me a liar as a woman.
49:10Chloe Tate claimed you used your history with the Blackwoods to control Adrian.
49:20I didn't control Adrian.
49:22I trusted him.
49:24There's a difference.
49:25Tonight, your team provided evidence that Chloe Tate fabricated parts of her story.
49:29Do you want to respond to her directly?
49:30Chloe, you wore my mother's necklace to hurt me.
49:32You filmed me to frame me.
49:34You faked a pregnancy to make the world hate me.
49:36And you stole my work because you couldn't steal my life fast enough.
49:38Ready.
49:38She decides.
49:42Are you alleging Chloe Tate sold your company's proposal to Winston Media?
49:46I'm not alleging.
49:47I'm proving.
49:48And tomorrow, the board will hear exactly how Adrian Blackwood helped her get access.
49:58You're destroying your own son.
50:00No.
50:01I'm stopping him from destroying everything else.
50:08Mom.
50:10I warned you not to hurt her.
50:12So that's it, Stella cries.
50:14And everyone forgets I'm your son.
50:15Stella cried because you broke her.
50:18This review will extend beyond your CEO position.
50:21Your eligibility as primary heir is suspended.
50:24You're taking my inheritance?
50:25I'm taking back what you were never mature enough.
50:27This is because of her.
50:28No!
50:29This is because of you!
50:33You're choosing her over me.
50:36We chose decency.
50:39You abandoned it.
50:46Don't read them.
50:47No.
50:48I need to see exactly who I escaped.
50:50Stella, those were taken out of context.
50:52Then choke on the context.
50:54Sources say criminal complaints may follow.
51:01Mr. Blackwood, did you encourage Chloe Tate to defame Stella Hayes?
51:05Did you know Chloe faked the pregnancy?
51:10Are you stepping down from Blackwood Group?
51:13No comment.
51:14Did you promise to marry Chloe if she kept quiet?
51:17You said people would believe me.
51:22They did.
51:23Until you handed them evidence on livestream.
51:26This is Adrian's fault.
51:27He...
51:28He said he'd protect me.
51:30Then prove it.
51:32Give them more texts.
51:34More voice notes.
51:35If you're going down, drag the billionaire down first.
51:56Open the door, Chloe.
51:58You said you'd protect me.
51:59No, Adrian.
52:00You ruined Stella.
52:02I just learned from you.
52:05He made me do it.
52:06Adrian Blackwood made me do everything.
52:17Let go.
52:19Please.
52:20Just listen to me.
52:22I listened for ten years.
52:24I'm done.
52:25Chloe lied to me, too.
52:28And somehow you're still the victim.
52:30No.
52:31I know I hurt you.
52:32I know I made mistakes.
52:33Mistakes?
52:34You gave her my necklace.
52:35You let her call me crazy.
52:37You watched the world tear my childhood apart.
52:39And when she accused me of killing a baby that never existed, you believed her.
52:46I...
52:47I was scared.
52:49So was I.
52:52But I didn't become cruel.
52:54I lost everything, Stella.
52:56You're not sorry you hurt me.
52:58You're sorry it cost you.
52:59No.
53:01Forever ended in room 603.
53:05Stella!
53:06She said no.
53:07You think you won?
53:09Did he take you from me?
53:10He didn't take me.
53:12I left because I don't want you anymore.
53:31No, no, no.
53:32No, no, no.
53:34No, no, no, no.
53:40No, no, no, no.
53:40Chloe Tate.
53:41I'm not talking without a lawyer.
53:42Good idea.
53:42You'll need one.
53:43We have a warrant to question you regarding harassment, fraud, and evidence tampering.
53:46This is because of Stella.
53:47She's obsessed with me.
53:48No.
53:49This is because you paid a man to forge a pregnancy report, sold stolen corporate materials,
53:52and sent a blood threat to a woman's home.
53:54Vanessa handled the flowers.
53:56Paid by your card.
53:57Adrian gave me access.
53:59Yes.
54:01And you used it.
54:02He made me do it.
54:03He promised me everything.
54:04He said Stella was nothing without him.
54:07Chloe, did you fake the pregnancy?
54:08Did you frame Stella Hayes?
54:09I loved him.
54:10I did all of this because I loved him.
54:12No.
54:13You did it because you wanted her life.
54:26Mrs. Hayes, after everything that happened, why should we trust your team to deliver?
54:32Because we didn't just survive sabotage.
54:34We improved the strategy after it.
54:38Winston lowered the price by cutting risk controls.
54:40That looks attractive for one quarter.
54:43But the real cost shows up when something goes wrong and no one has a plan.
54:47You don't need the cheapest partner.
54:49You need the one still standing when the room catches fire.
54:52This is emotional manipulation.
54:54Manipulation.
54:59No.
55:02Emotional manipulation was stealing my work and hoping I'd be too broken to improve it.
55:07We're awarding the contract to Pierce Creative.
55:10My team earned it.
55:15Still think you're just the girl they took in?
55:17No.
55:18I think I'm the woman they underestimated.
55:20Much better.
55:21I have an announcement.
55:25Stella Hayes is no longer senior strategist.
55:28Excuse me?
55:30She's partner.
55:31Effective immediately.
55:36You didn't tell me.
55:40I like surprising beautiful women with power.
55:45Actually, I have one more surprise.
