Short filmTranscript
00:01Mom, once Damien's mine tonight, the Bennets won't have to bow to anyone.
00:07You were born to marry into the blackouts.
00:10As for Arya, she only deserves to clean up your mess.
00:20My earring!
00:23What are you waiting for? Get in there and find it!
00:26I'm not a maid, but I'm the one paying your grandmother's bills.
00:32Fine.
00:43What's this?
00:45That's not your business! Trash!
01:00Did you hear? The merger details leaked.
01:03Yeah, Damien came himself to catch the rat.
01:10Just hand it over.
01:12Mr. Blackwood, I'm pretty sure there's a mistake here.
01:16Damien, please stop!
01:18Adrian was just-
01:19The Bennets better have a good explanation.
01:24Adrian didn't leak it.
01:26Just shut up!
01:28She did.
01:29Are you insane?!
01:31The drive has your glitter glue on it.
01:34You grabbed it earlier and hid your right hand the whole time.
01:43That's impossible!
01:46It wasn't me!
01:48Then explain why the drive was in your jewelry room.
01:50All I wanted was a business marriage.
01:55Now I've changed my mind.
01:57Tomorrow at 10am, we're getting registered.
02:02What?!
02:02Mr. Blackhood! She's just-
02:05Just what? Want to offend me?
02:06I'm not marrying you.
02:08I'll take care of your grandma's bills.
02:10The best doctor in her room.
02:13Three months of marriage.
02:14That's the deal.
02:15You just caught my cat.
02:18Now, let me give you a way out.
02:24Tomorrow, she is Mrs. Blackhood.
02:31You sure you're not just humiliating me?
02:34Humiliating you gains me nothing.
02:35The term is three months.
02:36Miss attends public events.
02:38Mr. Blackwood covers all of Miss Miriam's treatment.
02:40What if I back out?
02:42You can give it a shot.
02:43But your grandmother can't wait.
02:48From now on, don't let anyone take advantage of you.
02:51That includes you.
02:56The Bennets sent that woman.
02:58And you just accept?
03:00I don't need Bennet's approval.
03:01Or yours.
03:03Pick it up.
03:05Show me if you're worthy.
03:09I signed a contract, not sold myself.
03:12You dare talk to me like that?!
03:20Of course she does.
03:24She is the voice of this family now.
03:34I'll take the couch.
03:35The media knows we're married.
03:37Separate rooms will start rumors.
03:40Fine.
03:41I'll sleep on the floor.
03:46That necklace doesn't really suit you.
03:48My mother left it to me.
03:50Your birth mother?
03:52No idea.
03:53Then just remember one thing till night.
03:57What?
03:58Act like you're mine in front of others.
04:01And I'll make sure everyone believes it.
04:14The Bennet's second daughter became Mrs. Blackwood overnight.
04:18So reckless.
04:19What we want to know is whether she even belongs here.
04:26Damien, you can't just use a woman like her to spite me.
04:30She's always taken from me.
04:32Now she's stealing you too.
04:40You're wrong.
04:44She didn't steal me.
04:46I chose her.
04:59You didn't have to sell it that hard.
05:02You think I was acting?
05:04Weren't you?
05:06Arya, you'd better get used to it.
05:08Used to what?
05:09No one's gonna mess with you, cause I'm your husband.
05:15This sketch was revived.
05:17Fixed the stability with just a few strokes.
05:21Even mapped the stress points.
05:26You drew this?
05:28It's just a random drawing.
05:33Arya, what else are you keeping secret?
05:36More than you can imagine.
05:38Come with me tomorrow night.
05:40I wanna know if this was just a random drawing.
05:52That's the woman who suddenly became Mrs. Blackwood.
05:55She looks more than just a pretty face.
06:01Sis, don't touch anything you can't afford to replace it.
06:05Then stay back. Breaking things is your specialty.
06:13How did this happen?
06:16Not a craft error, the main stone was swapped.
06:19What?
06:20The setting was designed for 14 grams.
06:22This gem is at least 17.
06:24You never change the base.
06:29Move the side box to rebalance the weight.
06:31What?
06:35She really knows her stuff.
06:38Not just knows it.
06:39She's an expert.
06:41She peeked at my sketches!
06:43That's why she knows!
06:45You have a sketchbook?
06:47What a joke of the industry.
06:49Save it.
06:58Get out.
06:59You peeked at her sketches, but you can't even put on a zipper on your own?
07:07I never peeked at her sketches.
07:10You show your nervousness easily.
07:12And you're way too deliberate every time you get close.
07:17I can be way more deliberate.
07:22Those who can't ride don't belong in the Blackwood social circle.
07:26My sister couldn't even afford decent shoes, let alone riding.
07:52She can actually ride!
07:54And it's going nice and smooth.
07:57No!
07:59No!
08:00No!
08:00No!
08:01No!
08:10Give me your hand!
08:12I can hold on!
08:15Aria, look at me!
08:31Aria!
08:35Have you lost your mind?
08:37If I hadn't hold on, I would have been dead already.
08:40So you'd rather fight a crazy horse?
08:42What else?
08:43I've always taken care of everything by myself.
08:51Not anymore.
08:55Sam!
08:56Miss Sophia fell off her horse!
09:02Some people will never wear jewelry like this.
09:05Sis, wanna touch it?
09:09It's fake.
09:11What did you say?!
09:13The aging's not real.
09:14Modern soldering.
09:15There aren't any cold rivet marks from the 19th century.
09:18That's impossible.
09:19Open it.
09:20The center stone isn't natural.
09:22It's heat-treated marble.
09:24Stop acting like you know everything.
09:26Open it.
09:38I didn't do it!
09:39I spent a fortune on a fake.
09:42Embarrassing.
09:43The Bennett girl is a bit of a loose cannon.
09:46You love snatching things.
09:48Can't get the real thing even a fake will do.
09:53Touch her again, and you won't be able to go back to Bennett house.
09:58Didn't you always love looking down on me?
10:01Today, it's your turn to be the joke.
10:12Feel better?
10:15Almost.
10:17What's missing?
10:19Watching them completely fall.
10:21I'll be there with you.
10:22Random From
10:41Stone
10:44Mrs. Arya, did you mean to get close to Mr. Dan?
10:46Were you aware of your possible seraphim connection before the marriage?
10:52Let's see how you get out of this room.
11:00So you're saying this marriage is just an arrangement?
11:03My wife doesn't respond to interrogations.
11:06I'll only admit to one thing.
11:28Seriously? Are you crazy?
11:31The best way to handle the media.
11:33You still didn't have to...
11:35You didn't push me away.
11:38Arya, you know what this means.
11:43It means you're a good actor.
11:57Sir, a call came in from Europe.
11:59Someone named Lauren.
12:01He says he saw Miss Arya's pendant on the news.
12:08He wants to see her.
12:10Arrange it.
12:17Who wants to see me?
12:19Someone who may know about your past.
12:28No one ever asked about my background.
12:33Someone is now.
12:36How do you know he's not mistaken?
12:38I can't.
12:41But I'm pretty sure about one thing.
12:43What?
12:46No matter who you are, the Bennets won't be able to walk all over you.
12:51I'm here.
12:53You don't have to go through this alone.
12:58I'm here.
13:00I'm here.
13:02I'm here.
13:07I'm here.
13:09Sir, Mr. Lauren is here.
13:11You and Madam are formally invited to the Seraphine private gala tonight.
13:35A place like this?
13:38You really showed up?
13:40Don't let the Bennet name get dragged through the mud out here.
13:43Whether I embarrass myself or not isn't your business.
13:57He touched the crown!
13:58Security!
13:59Security!
14:03She's always had sticky fingers.
14:13This pendant.
14:15That's it.
14:21Miss.
14:24That star-moon pendant belongs to the Seraphine heir.
14:28You have the wrong person.
14:33My lady.
14:35I've been looking for you for 20 years.
14:40The real owner of the Seraphine jewelry empire has finally returned!
14:49Seraphine's founder left this pendant to his only granddaughter.
14:54That's ridiculous.
14:56You think an old necklace makes you family?
14:59Exactly.
15:00Someone like Arya?
15:02No way.
15:04Shut up.
15:1520 years ago, the Seraphine heirs had an accident.
15:18The only one who went missing, that little girl, had this pendant on.
15:25That's impossible.
15:26That's impossible.
15:30Miss, do you have a faint crescent scar on your inner left wrist?
15:40Arya, don't be fooled!
15:41I raised you from the time you were a child!
15:48Raised me?
15:49You mean treating me like a maid?
15:51Or forcing me to the marriage?
15:54Mrs. Bennett, if she's Seraphine blood, you'll have quite a bit to explain.
16:00Mom!
16:05We've already got DNA testing set up.
16:07I'll have the results by tomorrow at the latest.
16:15If this is true, what was my life even worth?
16:24Everything's where it should be now.
16:26That's a good thing, right?
16:31You're not alone, Arya.
16:37Your real name is Alora Sterling.
16:40You were gone at six.
16:42Seraphine has been searching for 20 years.
16:54She's...
16:55She's...
16:56Your mother, Miss Vivienne.
17:03Let's just wait for the DNA results.
17:17I don't even know who I am.
17:24You don't have to know right now.
17:28Easy for you to say you've always known who you are.
17:38I didn't have everything from the start, either.
17:40I didn't have everything from the start, either.
17:51Don't hide.
17:58Sir, the Bennets hired lawyers overnight to handle adoption records from 20 years ago.
18:02What are they afraid of?
18:04Then let them stay afraid.
18:07Grandma Nora suddenly passed out!
18:17Grandma...
18:19Don't worry, I'm fine.
18:32She got so upset when she heard you were going to claim a rich family.
18:36What are you talking about?
18:40Think carefully, Arya.
18:42Keep digging.
18:43And I can't guarantee the old woman's safety.
18:53Threatening my wife?
18:57That's bold.
19:05Isn't that a bit pathetic?
19:07I want to know the truth, but I'm afraid it'll get grandma involved.
19:14It's normal to feel scared.
19:18Your way of comforting someone is still so cold.
19:27Then just accept that I'm not good at comforting people.
19:45Send these to every financial press by morning.
19:49Headline it, Missing heiress used marriage to climb the ladder.
19:53Will Damien actually take that?
19:57Men hate being used.
20:00Especially men like him.
20:04And this, this is enough to bury her for good.
20:09Then just death.
20:26If it was in the middle of a day, she can't be a monster.
20:31Here, I'm sorry!
20:31You are?
20:31I'm sorry!
20:32You are?
20:32I know you are.
20:32My mother is in the upper right now.
20:34I love you.
20:37I love you.
20:37But I love you.
20:38I love you, I love you.
20:38I love you, I love you.
20:39My mother is a-
20:39I get why you're after the truth, sis.
20:42But how could you use Damien, too?
20:45Aria, I raised you not to be greedy.
20:48We could have made things right at home, but you reached for things you shouldn't.
20:52Mrs. Aria, did you talk to Steraphine before the wedding?
20:56So, did you use your marriage to get close to Steraphine through Damien?
20:58Mr. Blackwood, did you know she's been using you?
21:15Everyone back off.
21:17That report is false. I'll let you know the result now.
21:21Reveal them now, and you'll bury her in the scandal for good.
21:26Damien, do you doubt me?
21:28Press conference suspended.
21:30Clear the media, nothing gets released without my approval.
21:34Mr. Blackwood, are you implying by your silence that this is true?
21:37Are you covering for her, or do you have your doubts, too?
21:45Follow me.
21:52Why didn't you let Lauren announce the results?
21:55It's just not the right time.
21:56When is it?
21:57When people think I slept with you just to get your money and inheritance?
22:02I'm trying to help you.
22:04Help me?
22:05Damien, they were all asking if I set you up.
22:08All I needed was your trust not to pause the conference.
22:13How?
22:14You got in touch with Seraphine's folks before the wedding.
22:18Lauren recognized your pendant right away.
22:21Aria, what else are you hiding?
22:23I didn't lie. I knew nothing.
22:25The wedding, the gala, that pendant.
22:27I got swept up, too. Same as you.
22:30It's not them doubting me. It's you.
22:34So you really thought I was involved?
22:45What do you mean?
22:46As long as we're married, they'll keep saying you used me to reach Seraphine.
22:50Sign it first, I'll handle the rest.
22:52So your great idea is to cut me loose?
22:54Damien, that's not help. You're just telling the world you're embarrassed of us.
22:58I'm just doing damage control.
23:00But I'm the one getting hurt.
23:03You were the one who helped me when I was down.
23:06I thought that at least with you, I wouldn't be alone.
23:08But you're the one pushing me back in.
23:12From today, we're even.
23:20Have you lost your mind?
23:23The DNA is a 99.98% match.
23:27That report was bogus.
23:28I didn't even know her until I saw that pendant in the photos.
23:31She didn't know anything about any of this.
23:33But you're the one pushing me back in.
23:35She didn't use you.
23:36She just found herself.
23:38And you made her sign the divorce papers.
23:43It's too late.
24:02Aria.
24:03Don't touch me.
24:09I'm sorry, kid.
24:11I found you at the accident scene.
24:13All you had was that pendant.
24:17You knew that?
24:20I just knew you didn't deserve what those two women put you through.
24:28Go get what's yours.
24:30Don't hold yourself back for anyone.
24:40Well, well.
24:41Look who got kicked out.
24:44Don't worry.
24:45I'm not here to beg for a place to stay.
24:48And why are you here?
24:51To take back what's mine.
24:55From today on, I'll collect every debt you owe me.
24:59One by one.
25:04Mrs. Bennett, we're officially suing you for misusing the Seraphine Heirs assets.
25:12Win Seraphine's annual new talent design contest.
25:15And you'll go straight to the inheritance here.
25:18I never said I could design.
25:20Miss, your mother was a genius.
25:22What you did to that jewelry that night was exactly her style.
25:27Fine.
25:28I'll do it.
25:30Use your real name?
25:32No.
25:33Let them lose to someone they despise the most first.
25:38Find out who slipped that into the press conference.
25:40Already on it.
25:41Also, Mrs. Aria entered the Seraphine competition under the alias Moon.
25:46Should we help her?
25:48The last person she wants help from is probably me.
25:55So mysterious.
25:58You'd best keep your hands clean, miss.
26:01Don't go peeking at other people's work.
26:04Everyone, please go to the mainstay.
26:16Surprise round.
26:18On the spot design.
26:20No prepped work.
26:24Then what was the point of stealing Aria's finished draft?
26:27Damn it!
26:28The theme is lost and found.
26:3020 minutes.
26:36This moon is impressive.
26:38She's really good.
26:39This design feels like pure Seraphine.
26:53Brilliant!
26:55Moon takes first place.
26:58Sophia is in last place.
27:00Impossible!
27:01She definitely cheated!
27:07Ashamed to lose to me?
27:09How could you?
27:15Because she's always better than you.
27:17My competition has nothing to do with you.
27:25What happened that day was my fault.
27:27You know what's funny, Damien Blackwood?
27:30What?
27:31When I needed you the most,
27:33you taught me that I can't trust anyone.
27:38Then give me one more chance.
27:40Too late.
27:42Sir!
27:43We found the fake report.
27:44Vanessa and Sophia made it.
27:51There's more.
27:52Before the wedding,
27:53Vanessa paid to erase the accident records
27:55tied to Miss Aria's adoption.
27:57This is enough to put the Bennett women in prison.
28:00Send everything to Seraphine and the police.
28:02Now.
28:03Where are you going?
28:05To win my wife back.
28:16What do you want?
28:19You were right.
28:20I was wrong.
28:21So what?
28:23I was wrong just makes everything okay now?
28:26No.
28:27But I had to tell you first.
28:29Damien,
28:30I'm not the person who turns back
28:31just because you reach for me.
28:34Then I'll start over.
28:36Once isn't enough,
28:37make it ten.
28:41Aria,
28:41hate me if you want.
28:43Just don't push me out of your world.
28:44You can't win someone over it
28:46by blocking their door.
28:48Fine.
28:49From tomorrow,
28:50I'll do this properly.
28:53But let me try a little bit first.
29:07The hearing has been moved to tomorrow night.
29:10The Bennets,
29:10including Vanessa and Sophie,
29:11will be there.
29:12Damien is going to be there, too.
29:18Passed tonight's first review
29:19and you officially become part of the line of succession.
29:24How could such an important family dinner
29:27be missing the family?
29:30Aria,
29:30even if you're related to Seraphine,
29:32you can't abandon the family that raised you.
29:35Bloodlines matter.
29:36Character is more important.
29:38Someone cruel to her adoptive mother
29:39might not be fit to be an heir.
29:41Maybe first ask
29:42what kind of raising
29:43involved abuse and blackmail.
29:45Even if you regret the divorce,
29:47don't slander us
29:47just to win her back,
29:48Mr. Blackwood!
29:59You shouldn't be here tonight.
30:02If I weren't here,
30:03who'd take the hits for you?
30:05I don't need you to step in every time
30:07like you're making up for something.
30:09This isn't about making it up to you.
30:11Then what is it?
30:12Regret and love.
30:14Wanting to be beside you,
30:15even knowing you'll push me away.
30:19You missed your chance.
30:22Even if I am,
30:23I'll take it.
30:28Focus on getting through tonight.
30:30Whatever you decide later,
30:31I'll accept it.
30:33Directors,
30:34I had to say that
30:35At-Aria's grandmother
30:36admitted Aria was an abandoned baby
30:39with no proven origins.
30:41Who knows if she stole that pendant.
30:49You say you raised and saved me,
30:51but you've never said
30:52where my scars came from.
30:55This scar is from the car crash,
30:57you know?
30:58Because my arm was covered in blood
31:00when you found me.
31:07She didn't find her.
31:09She took this child
31:11from the doorstep
31:13of our orphanage!
31:1820 years ago,
31:20someone left her at our gates.
31:23The next day,
31:24Mrs. Bennett
31:25took her with fake papers.
31:27You're lying!
31:27I'm old,
31:29but I'll always remember
31:30the star-moon pendant
31:31she was wearing.
31:34Date,
31:36location,
31:36and injury description.
31:43You love to steal things?
31:45Keep trying.
31:51Miss,
31:52from tonight on,
31:54you are your own person.
31:57You are not anyone's shadow.
32:02If my mother were still alive,
32:04would she be proud of me?
32:05She would be proud.
32:06You were born to shine,
32:07just like her.
32:13Mr. Blackwood,
32:14don't try too hard.
32:17I know.
32:19I'll wait until she looks back at me.
32:23Arya is the direct descendant
32:26of Seraphine.
32:27She is given a temporary seat
32:30in the line of succession.
32:32Miss Arya,
32:33from being a foster daughter
32:34to owning a jewelry empire,
32:36what do you want to say
32:37to the people who humiliated you?
32:40I'll let them watch
32:41the person they hated most,
32:43reach heights
32:44they'll never achieve.
32:46The real will.
32:48Don't let Arya see it,
32:49ever.
32:58Get Vivian's will
32:59from the safe.
33:01Arya can't have it.
33:03Once that's public,
33:04she'll own Seraphine completely.
33:07What do we do?
33:09Destroy it.
33:11Get the old woman.
33:12She's Arya's biggest weakness.
33:14Got it.
33:16She thinks she can walk
33:18all over us?
33:19I'll make sure
33:20she falls harder.
33:27You don't even knock anymore?
33:29Afraid you wouldn't answer.
33:32You look beautiful tonight.
33:34You stand out in the light
33:35as if you belong there.
33:38Flattery won't work on me.
33:41Then how about this?
33:47I missed you.
33:49I missed you.
33:53We have your grandmother.
33:55Come to the old port warehouse
33:56by yourself.
33:57Call the cops.
33:59She dies.
34:01My grandma has been kidnapped.
34:03You can't do it by yourself.
34:05That's my grandma!
34:06I know.
34:07That's why you need to stay calm.
34:10Damien,
34:11I've lost so much already.
34:13I can't lose her either.
34:17Fine.
34:18I'll go with you.
34:22Arya,
34:23come alone
34:24or she won't see tomorrow.
34:41You really came alone.
34:43Let my grandmother go.
34:44I'm the one you want.
34:46I want you ruined forever.
34:49Sign it.
34:51Give up all inheritance rights
34:52to Sarah Face
34:53and publicly admit
34:54you stole someone else's identity.
34:56Dream on.
35:04Kidnapping,
35:05blackmail,
35:06forged documents,
35:08and now you want to force me to sign?
35:10At Sophie,
35:11you're even dumber than I thought.
35:13Shut up!
35:14If you hadn't come back,
35:16I'd already be Mrs. Sarah Fine!
35:18You stole everything from me!
35:23The recording's connected.
35:24If she says a little more,
35:26we can tie together everything she's done over the years.
35:31I stole from you?
35:33I was the one forced to live in the attic,
35:36the one beaten and humiliated,
35:38the one whose boyfriend got stolen.
35:42I was even the one forced into a substitute marriage.
35:46Everything you had was taken from me.
35:49Yes!
35:50Your room!
35:50Your jewelry!
35:51Your fiance!
35:52Your identity!
35:53I wanted all of it!
35:54Even your mother's will!
35:55My mother and I hid it!
35:57We got it.
35:59If you won't sign,
36:00then die!
36:13Damien!
36:17I almost would have lost you.
36:21Sir,
36:22we found the will too.
36:24Madam Viviania really did leave
36:25Sarah Fine's final inheritance rights
36:26to Miss Arya
36:27and the husband
36:29she would one day choose.
36:40Miss Arya
36:41the final statement
36:42regarding the Sarah Fine inheritance dispute
36:44will be made public.
36:57So Mrs. Bennett
36:59is suspected of illegal adoption
37:01and stealing the rightful heiress' assets.
37:03And Miss Sofia
37:04is also suspected of kidnapping
37:06and evidence tampering.
37:10This is all's fault!
37:13If she hadn't come back...
37:19I came back
37:20because this was always my place.
37:30Mr. Julian,
37:31were you also involved
37:32in the scheme
37:33against Miss Arya?
37:34I-I was just...
37:35A man living off women
37:37while helping them do evil
37:38should keep his mouth shut.
37:42I raised you for 20 years!
37:45You can't ruin me like this!
37:49You ruined yourself.
37:51Your greed dragged you into hell.
37:57According to Vivian's will
37:59and the Inheritance Review,
38:01Sarah Theen officially recognizes
38:03At Arya Sterling
38:04as its sole first heir.
38:12Mr. Blackwood,
38:13as Miss Arya's ex-husband,
38:15what does it mean
38:15for you to step forward now?
38:16It means
38:18starting today,
38:20I'm going to pursue her again.
38:27Step one
38:28starts tonight.
38:31Helping me treat this wound.
38:37You knew this would scar
38:39and you still won't go
38:40to the hospital.
38:42Would you feel bad for me?
38:45No.
38:47Liar.
38:49Shut up.
38:53What are you doing?
38:56Every time you pretend
38:57not to care,
38:58your ears turn red.
39:00Arya,
39:01give me another chance.
39:03I can forgive you.
39:04That doesn't mean
39:04I'll come back to you.
39:05Then I'll keep waiting
39:06until you do.
39:08Arya,
39:08I was wrong.
39:10The person I loved
39:10was always you.
39:11Sophia deduced me.
39:13So now you're trying
39:14to dress betrayal
39:14up as helplessness?
39:16I can testify for you.
39:17Just give me another chance.
39:20She already gave you one.
39:22You didn't deserve it.
39:26Aren't you two
39:27already divorced?
39:28Even then,
39:29she'd never choose you.
39:36Did you just smile?
39:39No.
39:41Then I'll keep trying.
39:46I just remembered
39:47you need a date
39:48for tomorrow's
39:48Seraphana pre-launch event.
39:50I can go alone.
39:50It's not a ballroom dance.
39:52I know.
39:54But I want to stand
39:55beside you.
40:00Good night, Arya.
40:05There's another
40:06handwritten letter
40:07in Vivian's keepsake box.
40:09It was left for you
40:10and your future husband.
40:15Miss Viviana wrote this
40:16before she died.
40:17It was supposed to be
40:19given to you
40:19on your wedding day.
40:21My dear daughter,
40:22if one day
40:23you stand under
40:24the spotlight again,
40:25I hope the person
40:26beside you
40:27loves you not for your name,
40:28but for who you truly are.
40:32There's still time
40:33to reject me
40:34as your date.
40:37Too late.
40:47Moon reborn.
40:56These were never
40:57supposed to be public.
41:01But I owe her
41:02an apology.
41:03And I owe her
41:04something the whole world
41:05deserves to hear.
41:09Arya,
41:10I misunderstood you.
41:11I hurt you.
41:13I left you standing alone
41:14in the coldest place.
41:16But from the moment
41:17I grabbed your hand
41:18that wedding,
41:19I never wanted
41:19to let go again.
41:21This time,
41:22it's not a contract.
41:24Not a transaction.
41:26And not for family power.
41:28Arya Sterling,
41:29would you let me
41:30love you again?
41:39Damien,
41:39you're really terrible
41:40at pursuing someone.
41:43But this time,
41:44I'm willing
41:45to give it a try.
41:46I need to give it a try.
42:05I need to give it a try.
42:15Does this mean you can officially move back into my room now?
42:22So, she's finally back.
42:27Seraphine was never the only empire her mother left behind.
42:37Find her before they do.
42:59Mrs. Blackwood, you're not regretting last night already, are you?
43:03I said I'd try again. I didn't say you could get cocky.
43:13Then I'll take it slow.
43:18Sir, Seraphine's archive was hacked last night.
43:21They only copied one file, the Sterling Bloodline records.
43:28Only Mrs. Vivian and I knew about this archive.
43:31It contains far more than your identity.
43:40Who is she?
43:44Laurent, her name is Evelyn.
43:47Evelyn Sterling.
43:48If the records are correct, she's your twin sister.
43:52I have a twin sister.
43:57More precisely, another rightful heir.
44:02Helena Vos.
44:05Seraphine was only part of Vivianna's empire.
44:09The true power was Astrea Trust.
44:11And it can only be claimed when both Sterling Ascenders stand together.
44:17How do you know this?
44:19How do you know this?
44:19Because she's already with me.
44:25Arya Sterling, welcome to the war your mother left behind.
44:34If another Sterling heir is alive, Miss Arya's position as sole heir must be reconsidered.
44:40If Astrea Trust steps in, Seraphine's gemstone supply network could be cut off.
44:44I'm not here to question Arya's bloodline, but to remind you her bloodline is no longer the only one that
44:50matters.
44:50You moved fast.
44:51Almost like you already knew those files would disappear.
44:54Careful, Mr. Blackwood.
44:56Allegations need evidence.
44:58If Evelyn is my sister, I'll find her.
45:01Not for the inheritance, but because she's Vivian's daughter.
45:09Miss Arya, if your sister comes forward, would you share control of Seraphine with her?
45:14Did you know all along there was another Sterling heir?
45:24Everyone, this is Eve, the newest advisor joining Seraphine.
45:32Stay away from me.
45:34The more you know, the more people die.
45:44Looks like she knows a lot more than she's saying.
45:47And finding her matters even more now.
45:54I told you not to come looking for me.
45:57You're Evelyn Sterling, right?
46:01My name is Eve Boss.
46:04I don't have a sister.
46:07And I stopped having a mother a long time ago.
46:11Then explain this.
46:16Photos can be forged.
46:18Bloodlines can be exploded.
46:20You should know that better than anyone.
46:23You built your claim on a necklace.
46:25I didn't steal anything.
46:27Then give up Seraphine.
46:32You knew she existed.
46:34Why didn't you tell me?
46:38You said you searched 20 years for me.
46:40What about her?
46:41Did you ever look for her?
46:45After the crash, I only found your pendant.
46:48I later discovered another child had already been taken from the scene.
46:52So you think Helena and the Vos family raised her.
46:57I was afraid that if I exposed the truth, the Vos family would move against her first.
47:03Everyone says they're protecting me.
47:05Yet somehow I'm always the last person told the truth.
47:17If she really is my sister, what has she been through?
47:21If she hates me, who do I even blame?
47:28It's not your fault.
47:32But she looks at me like I stole her life.
47:34Then find the truth.
47:36You didn't steal her place.
47:37You might be the only person who can bring her home.
47:43Sir, Yves Vos disappeared.
47:45The apartment was completely cleared out except for one box.
47:57Don't trust Laurent.
47:59He was at the scene.
48:06Where is Evelyn?
48:10I don't know what you're talking about.
48:12When you took me from that orphanage, was there another child with me?
48:18Vivian had two daughters.
48:20I took one home.
48:22Someone else took the other.
48:26Who took my sister?
48:29Someone far better than me at turning Viviana's bloodline into power.
48:35Look at it.
48:37You're not an orphan.
48:39You're Evelyn Sterling.
48:41The heir Vivian tried to hide from the world.
48:48Then why don't I remember anything?
48:51Because Aria lived.
48:53Everyone only cared about her.
48:55You were forgotten.
48:57Now it's time to take back what should have been yours.
49:02Tonight, on behalf of the Vos family,
49:05I am formally releasing the results of a DNA verification.
49:13My name is Evelyn Sterling.
49:15And effective today,
49:17I am demanding a full review of Seraphi's inheritance structure.
49:27Mrs. Aria,
49:29it's time your sister reclaimed the 20 years stolen from her.
49:39Mrs. Aria,
49:40are you willing to share the Seraphiian inheritance?
49:42When you claimed to be the sole heir,
49:44were you already aware of Eve Sterling?
49:53Aria just confirmed her identity today.
49:56If you want to know who's manipulating this narrative,
49:59look at who's been ready for it from the start.
50:00That's enough.
50:02I can speak for myself.
50:09If you really see me as your sister,
50:12then give me back my half of Seraphiian.
50:16Yours,
50:17I won't steal.
50:19But I won't hand our mother's legacy to someone using you.
50:28I thought the fighting was over.
50:30Turns out that was only the version of the ending they wanted me to believe.
50:33But this time you're not alone.
50:38What if I lose Seraphiian?
50:41Then you're still Aria.
50:44I never fell in love with the heir to Seraphiina.
50:53You don't have to stay strong all the time.
50:54I'm here.
51:06So you really do have everything.
51:20You don't have to stay strong all the time.
51:24This is the keepsake that Viviana truly meant for you.
51:32A Straya Trust can only be unlocked when both pendants come together.
51:37Aria already claimed the stars.
51:39Now it's time for you to claim the moon.
51:52Did she know we'd be torn apart one day?
51:55She feared you'd be forced apart so she split Aria's key.
51:59Only you and Evelyn together can unlock the true inheritance.
52:03My ring.
52:05My ring.
52:15How did you come up with this design?
52:19Caleb found the design in Seraphiina's old archives.
52:22Later, I realized someone wanted that sketch to end up in my hands.
52:30Sophia.
52:35Mrs. Voss offers you a second chance.
52:38All you have to do is testify that Aria knew about Evelyn from the very beginning.
52:43Whatever she cares about most, that's exactly what I want to destroy.
52:51Aria always knew she had a sister.
52:54She hid it because she was terrified Evelyn would come back and take half of Seraphiina.
52:59Do you have proof?
53:07Aria wrote this herself.
53:09She just made the biggest mistake of her life.
