00:00:01My name was Cadence Chase. In the shadows, I was the kingdom's first ghost healer, and no one had ever
00:00:09seen my true face.
00:00:10In public, I was the wife of Franklin, commander of the Holy Knights, but my husband had never been kind
00:00:17to me.
00:00:17Your jealousy is sick. You have to be insane to push a woman who can't swim into the deep end.
00:00:22You don't know. Actually, I'm also afraid of water.
00:00:27You wear the sacred pring baptism medal around your neck. How could someone blessed by holy water be afraid of
00:00:34it? Stop playing the victim with me!
00:00:41Don't be mad at her, Franklin. It's not Cadence's fault. I just... I slipped.
00:00:47If you ever lay a hand on Isabelle again, I will initiate divorce proceedings before you can blink, and the
00:00:53prenup.
00:00:53The second I sign those papers, Chase's family loses all protection from my family.
00:01:01Three years of silence. All I got in return was him holding another woman in his arms.
00:01:07Have the medical team meet us in the guest suite.
00:01:27Prepare the papers. I want a divorce.
00:01:35I had spent three years thinking I could forget that river. I was wrong.
00:01:40I was wrong.
00:01:42I was wrong.
00:01:52I was wrong.
00:01:55I was wrong.
00:02:07Franklin, my head is spinning so badly.
00:02:10I'm coming right now.
00:02:13Every time he walked away, it felt like being cut with a dull knife.
00:02:17But not this time.
00:02:19I wouldn't let him hurt me anymore.
00:02:25You will apologize to Isabelle tomorrow morning.
00:02:30What kind of game are you playing now?
00:02:33I am leaving with nothing.
00:02:34I just want to terminate this disgusting arrangement immediately.
00:02:38If you walk out that door, I will cut off all funding to the Chase family by tomorrow noon.
00:02:44What happens to the Chase family is none of your concern.
00:02:48You are out of your mind.
00:02:50If you walk out of this house, don't you ever think about crawling back.
00:02:56As you wish.
00:03:01Franklin had once told the entire high society that this sculpture symbolized our marriage, pure and unbreakable.
00:03:28Have the formal divorce agreement on Franklin Mueller's desk by 8 a.m.
00:03:33No mediation.
00:03:39Boss, the Chase manor has been cleared.
00:03:42No one will track your movements.
00:03:44Do you need the medical team on standby for the water exposure?
00:03:48No.
00:03:49Drive straight to the Moonshadow Atelier.
00:03:53I needed someone.
00:03:55Someone who could permanently erase the humiliating scar burning on my back.
00:04:01What happened?
00:04:02Your wife has left, sir.
00:04:21Look who finally decided to break out of the golden cage.
00:04:25Jet Marlant was the most skilled alchemetic tattooist in the kingdom.
00:04:28He was also one of my most trusted informants in the Shadow Courier.
00:04:37Who did this?
00:04:38The price of a stupid mistake.
00:04:40Erase it.
00:04:41Covering scar tissue this deep, the pain is going to be ten times worse.
00:04:45Pain is exactly what I need right now.
00:04:49With every drag of the needle, the memory of that frozen river, that rusted blade, that darkness,
00:04:54was being squeezed out of my flesh.
00:05:03Do you want me to put the word out?
00:05:05Tell the underground you're back?
00:05:08Keep it quiet.
00:05:09I have a game to play first.
00:05:17Sir, this just arrived via courier from Elena Rostovov's firm.
00:05:21It's the formal petition for divorce.
00:05:25Emerging from the cocoon was always painful.
00:05:28But from now on, I would fly for myself.
00:05:35Julian was one of Franklin's closest friends.
00:05:39He was reckless, but he had the instincts of a beast.
00:05:43You look like a gambler who just lost his whole estate.
00:05:46How did that little pool drama end last night?
00:05:48I threw that vicious woman out.
00:05:52Do you mean Cadence?
00:05:53She shoved Isabel into the water, got caught red-handed, and then tried to act like the victim.
00:05:57Now she's vanished and filing for divorce.
00:05:59She's just trying to get me to give in.
00:06:01For three years, all she's wanted is for me to turn around and look at her.
00:06:05She's playing hard to get, but she picked the wrong man.
00:06:11I was the one who jumped into the pool last night.
00:06:14I pulled Cadence out.
00:06:15What are you talking about?
00:06:17Isabel was the one drowning.
00:06:19Isabel was splashing around in the shallow end.
00:06:21Cadence sank straight to the bottom.
00:06:23That wasn't an act.
00:06:25She is absolutely terrified of the water.
00:06:28She wears the sacred pring baptism model around her neck.
00:06:31How could someone blessed by holy water be afraid of it?
00:06:33She's just a great actress.
00:06:35That's odd.
00:06:36But here's what really confuses me.
00:06:38Why does Cadence mimic Isabel's aquaphebia?
00:06:42Everyone knows Isabel developed it after she pulled you from the sighing river four years ago.
00:06:48Why aren't you resting at home?
00:06:49For the first time, doubt about Isabel crapped into his mind.
00:06:53But what he didn't realize was that the very metal he used to humiliate me
00:06:57was the chain that kept him blind to the truth.
00:07:24The grand banquet for my 80th birthday is this weekend.
00:07:27Every old money family in the kingdom will be there.
00:07:31You will arrive on time, and Cadence will be on your arm.
00:07:34Cadence is indisposed at the moment.
00:07:38I don't care.
00:07:39Don't let Isabel ruin this family's name.
00:07:41Cadence is the only one who belongs beside you.
00:07:46Where is my wife?
00:07:47Sir, we can't find her.
00:07:49The moment she left the estate,
00:07:51every section of the crystal on her roof was wiped
00:07:53by some master shadow mage.
00:07:55It's like she vanished into thin air.
00:07:58Cadence, wherever you are hiding,
00:08:00I will drag you out.
00:08:01What he didn't know was that my true identity
00:08:04was far more dangerous than he could ever imagine.
00:08:10Kenzie Garner was my close friend.
00:08:13A wealthy heiress who was never afraid of getting into trouble
00:08:16and willing to stick with me.
00:08:23The scapting crystals picked up no sign of her.
00:08:26We can only hope someone has seen her.
00:08:28Cadence would never step foot in a place like...
00:08:33In that moment,
00:08:34I decided to show him exactly what he had lost.
00:08:38Mrs. Muller,
00:08:39out for a little fun by yourself?
00:08:41There is no Mrs. Muller.
00:08:45I finally dumped that jerk.
00:08:50Not now.
00:08:51Everyone's watching.
00:08:53To freedom!
00:08:55To leaving that bastard behind!
00:08:58To freedom.
00:09:00To freedom.
00:09:13Why don't we take this up to a private suite?
00:09:23Are you trying to piss me off?
00:09:25Throwing yourself at garbage like Hunter?
00:09:27At least Hunter knows how to please a woman.
00:09:30Not like you.
00:09:32Worshipping some pathetic liar.
00:09:35Enough of this tantrum.
00:09:36Come home.
00:09:37Or I will crush the Chase family into dust.
00:09:41Dream on.
00:09:48Don't go.
00:09:49He's completely unhinged.
00:09:53Let me go!
00:09:58This is my wife.
00:09:59Anyone who looks at her again will lose their eyes.
00:10:13What the hell is wrong with you?
00:10:15Why are you doing this?
00:10:17Cutting your hypocritical family out of my life
00:10:19is absolutely the right decision.
00:10:21For the first time in three years,
00:10:23I can breathe fresh air.
00:10:25It's called a rebirth!
00:10:27You don't get a rebirth unless I allow it.
00:10:34Don't you ever kiss me with the same mouth you use on that liar.
00:10:37You make me sick.
00:10:39Stay away from me, ex-husband.
00:10:41Or I will ruin you.
00:10:50Boss, you're bleeding out.
00:10:51Patch it in the carriage.
00:10:52We're done here.
00:10:53He stood there,
00:10:55his lips trembling,
00:10:56but no words came.
00:10:57Maybe he finally understood
00:10:59that I no longer belonged to him.
00:11:00But pride got in the way.
00:11:02He just couldn't bring himself to plea.
00:11:14Oddly, my heart didn't even skip a beat.
00:11:21Dad?
00:11:22The Royal Charity Gala is tonight at the palace.
00:11:24Every major house will be there.
00:11:26Go.
00:11:27Not to prove anything to them,
00:11:28but to remind yourself
00:11:30that you never truly lost who you are.
00:11:47The weak, pathetic Mrs. Muller was dead.
00:11:59This was my signature tool
00:12:01as the kingdom's first healer.
00:12:02In the underground black market,
00:12:04they called me
00:12:05the Ghost Healer.
00:12:07Franklin and that scheming bitch
00:12:08would also be there tonight.
00:12:11But I wasn't the prey anymore.
00:12:13I would walk into that ballroom
00:12:15with a scalpel,
00:12:16ready to cut the rot
00:12:17out of their perfect little world.
00:12:40Cadence.
00:12:42John Luke.
00:12:43A prince of a neighboring kingdom,
00:12:45he owned trading fleets
00:12:46that spanned the continent.
00:12:48You finally took off the nun's habit.
00:12:51Welcome back to the land of the living,
00:12:53my queen.
00:12:56Behave yourself tonight.
00:12:59I have actual work to do.
00:13:27Is this why you couldn't wait
00:13:28to file the divorce?
00:13:30To climb into another man's bed?
00:13:41None of your business.
00:13:48Cadence, where did you find this...
00:13:51new friend?
00:13:52You really shouldn't bring strangers
00:13:54to such an exclusive event.
00:13:56Your wealth couldn't buy you
00:13:57a throne in Lumina.
00:13:59Jean-Luc,
00:14:00keep your underground games
00:14:01to yourself.
00:14:02What kind of leverage
00:14:03did she use
00:14:04to get you to play her guard?
00:14:06Mr. Moolah,
00:14:07I have enough loose change
00:14:08in my pockets
00:14:09to buy out three of your overseas
00:14:10trading fleets
00:14:11before breakfast.
00:14:14Isabel is not just my date tonight.
00:14:16She is the one
00:14:17I'll protect
00:14:18for the rest of my life.
00:14:21She will be the next
00:14:22Mrs. Moolah.
00:14:24Congratulations.
00:14:26Birds of a feather
00:14:27flock together.
00:14:29He thought announcing
00:14:30his engagement
00:14:31would break me.
00:14:32What he didn't know
00:14:33was that I had already
00:14:34buried everything about him
00:14:35at the bottom
00:14:36of the Signing River.
00:14:46The rotation speed
00:14:47on this cranial drill
00:14:48is too high.
00:14:49The sanctified probe
00:14:50will burn the nerve
00:14:51before you even
00:14:52reach the lesion.
00:14:56Walter,
00:14:57a wealthy merchant,
00:14:59was lying on the floor,
00:15:00struggling to breathe.
00:15:02His business partner,
00:15:03Quentin Shaw,
00:15:04was panicking,
00:15:05completely at a loss.
00:15:17I know a bit of healing.
00:15:18Let me help.
00:15:21Stop.
00:15:22He is not in cardiac arrest.
00:15:24Chest compressions
00:15:25will kill him.
00:15:26Shut your mouth!
00:15:27You're just a new money upstart
00:15:29who schemed her way
00:15:30into the Moolah family.
00:15:32Get out of the way!
00:15:36Cadence,
00:15:37this is not the time
00:15:38for your theatrics.
00:15:39Let the professionals
00:15:40handle it.
00:15:41In that moment,
00:15:42I finally realized something.
00:15:44He would rather believe
00:15:45an actress's lies
00:15:46than trust his own wife.
00:15:53He has died!
00:16:03Dad!
00:16:05Who did this?
00:16:07She...
00:16:08She didn't...
00:16:09She broke his ribs!
00:16:14I didn't know!
00:16:15I was just trying to help!
00:16:19Back off, Leland.
00:16:21Isabelle is under my protection.
00:16:27The airway is completely locked.
00:16:29I cannot cast the breath-opening spell.
00:16:32Then cut his throat!
00:16:33I can't!
00:16:35No sanctified field,
00:16:36no alchemical tools.
00:16:37A blind cut could sever his artery.
00:16:39He'll bleed out.
00:16:40He has less than two minutes!
00:16:46If you don't want him to die,
00:16:47get the hell out of my way.
00:16:49Hey.
00:16:54In this moment,
00:16:56I shed my disguise.
00:16:57I was not Mrs. Moolah.
00:16:59I was not a noble lady.
00:17:01I was the ghost healer.
00:17:09Take one more step,
00:17:11and his brain death
00:17:12is on your hands.
00:17:34he stood there watching me
00:17:36he finally saw
00:17:38what I could truly do
00:17:40but it was far too late
00:17:47save him

00:33:03but it was already
00:33:04too late
00:33:04to undo anything
00:33:34he's
00:33:47Who did that to you?
00:33:49Save it for later. We have a job to do.
00:33:52They breached the outer ward.
00:33:53We have less than 60 seconds where they bypass the core encryption.
00:33:57I need the key.
00:34:19Access granted. Welcome back, M.
00:34:22Wards reset. I'm locking them out. Burning their dark crystals.
00:34:26Open the highest tier global broadcast channel. Encrypt it. Send it to every syndicate boss and every shadow broker.
00:34:34A global ping? They'll all know you're active.
00:34:40That is the point. I am back. M.
00:34:43The European cartels that tried to break us, drain their accounts, send their ledgers to the Royal Merchant Guild.
00:34:54Done.
00:34:57What about the Moola family? What do we do about Franklin?
00:35:02Franklin loves his empire, so we are going to burn it to the ground.
00:35:29Franklin loves his empire, so we are going to burn it to the ground.
00:35:30Sir, go ahead.
00:35:32Miss Perez has been admitted to the Moola private infirmary, but she is screaming at the staff.
00:35:37She is demanding the Royal Guard. She wants to press attempted murder charges against Mrs. Chase.
00:35:44Let her call them.
00:35:46My God.
00:35:49Sir, where are you going?
00:35:50There are rumors that M, the Master of the Shadow Curia, has returned.
00:35:54The Council needs you.
00:35:59Seal the floor.
00:36:01No one in or out without my authorization.
00:36:19Franklin!
00:36:20Franklin! You came! I was so scared!
00:36:22Cadence is a monster!
00:36:24Why are you looking at me like that?
00:36:27She tried to kill me.
00:36:31No. That's...
00:36:33That's fake.
00:36:36You made me put my hands on my wife.
00:36:40You are done.
00:36:42Tomorrow morning, the Moola family will sever all financial ties with the Perez family.
00:36:47Your father's trading company will be bankrupt by noon.
00:36:50You will be permanently blacklisted from high society.
00:36:53You can't do this to me!
00:36:56I saved your life!
00:36:58Four years ago, in the Signing River,
00:37:02I jumped into the freezing water.
00:37:04I fought off those heretics.
00:37:06I almost died for you!
00:37:09You owe me your life, Franklin.
00:37:11You can't destroy me!
00:37:26Fifty million gold coins?
00:37:29Here.
00:37:31This makes us even for saving my life.
00:37:34From this second forward, if you ever speak Cadence's name again,
00:37:40I will crush you and your family into dust.
00:37:58What the hell did you do?
00:38:11I walked into the noble club.
00:38:14Eleonora, Franklin's grandmother, was hosting her 80th birthday banquet.
00:38:18The hall was packed with the kingdom's most powerful nobles,
00:38:21all buzzing with whispered rumors.
00:38:23The master of the shadow curia, M, had returned.
00:38:26Arthur Finch was the chief advisor to the royal treasury
00:38:29and Eleonora's most trusted financier.
00:38:32Cadence, the Chase family looks strong tonight.
00:38:36Have you heard the rumors?
00:38:38M is back.
00:38:44Boss, I've activated the dormant curse you planted four years ago.
00:38:48One-time bypass of their primary wards.
00:38:50We have a 30-second window to hit their core treasury
00:38:52before the wards seal themselves.
00:38:58Execute.
00:38:59He loved his fortune.
00:39:01So I was going to let him watch it all burn to ash.
00:39:07Money is everything.
00:39:09You're right, my dear.
00:39:10You look stunning tonight.
00:39:11Allow me to introduce David Foster,
00:39:13the Royal Healer's Executive Officer.
00:39:21Ma'am, your father's surgical devices are making waves.
00:39:24We were just discussing sanctified probes.
00:39:27By the way, the European syndicates are in a frenzy.
00:39:31They're looking for the elixir of life.
00:39:34Have you heard of it?
00:39:35They say it can cure heart failure.
00:39:37Eleonora just turned 80 tonight.
00:39:39Her heart is failing.
00:39:40The European cartels are desperately searching for it,
00:39:43hoping to offer it as tribute to the Mullahs.
00:39:45The rumor is, it's in the possession of M,
00:39:47the master of the Shadow Curia.
00:39:49Cadence, your family deals in alchemical recipes
00:39:52and healing secrets.
00:39:53Have you heard anything?
00:39:54Who has the elixir?
00:39:55I'm afraid you are chasing shadows, David.
00:39:58I have never heard of an elixir.
00:39:59And even if M possesses it,
00:40:01I highly doubt a simple healer like me
00:40:03would be privy to such secrets.
00:40:04Well, if the Chase family hasn't heard of it,
00:40:06it truly is untouchable.
00:40:15Excuse me.
00:40:22Cadence.
00:40:25Stop.
00:40:27Look around you.
00:40:28Half the nobility is watching.
00:40:30This is Eleonora's banquet,
00:40:31not your private chamber.
00:40:33Keep your dignity.
00:40:39Chet Kowalski.
00:40:40A nouveau riche merchant
00:40:42who made his fortune in smuggling.
00:40:43Excuse me.
00:40:45Don't go, Mrs. Mullah.
00:40:47I heard some rumors.
00:40:48Step aside, Mr. Kowalski.
00:40:50Or you will lose your entire fortune.
00:40:53You're nothing now.
00:40:54Just used up trash.
00:40:57I bet you're desperate for a new sponsor.
00:41:00Come here, you little bitch.
00:41:19How dare you hit me?
00:41:28I'm going to kill you.
00:41:37It was Franklin.
00:41:40Take your hand off my wife.
00:41:43Mr. Mullah.
00:41:44Listen, it's a misunderstanding.
00:42:13Franklin, stop.
00:42:15You're going to kill him.
00:42:16him. Good God. Franklin, what happened here? Mr. Kowalski consumed a lethal amount of
00:42:44illegal darkomatics. He suffered a psychotic break. He tripped and fell against your stone wall.
00:42:51If a single word of this reaches anyone, if anyone suggests that my wife was involved,
00:42:56I will dismantle this club stone by stone. Do you understand me, Arthur? Yes. Yes,
00:43:02of course. A tragic drug overdosed. We will handle it immediately.
00:43:10He stood there, his hands covered in blood, looking at me, as if expecting a thank you,
00:43:16as if finally seeing what kind of monster he really was.
00:43:23Wipe your hands, Mr. Moolah. You are dripping on Arthur's carpet.
00:43:27Cadence, I saw the footage. I saw Isabelle throw herself down the stairs. I know she lied. I know
00:43:34everything. I was blind. I was a fool. Just give me a chance to fix this.
00:43:40So you watched a clip. You realized you were wrong. You beat a man half to death to feel like
00:43:47a man
00:43:48again. Then you apologize. You aren't apologizing to me, Franklin. You are apologizing to yourself.
00:43:55You are trying to scrub the guilt off your own conscience because you can't handle the fact
00:44:00that you choked your innocent wife for a liar. That's not...
00:44:04I don't care about your apologies. Your remorse means nothing to me because I do not love you
00:44:10anymore. You are nothing to me.
00:44:17Don't say that. You are my wife. We are not done.
00:44:21Did you tell Isabelle we were done when you ran to her infirmary bed to comfort her?
00:44:26How much did it cost to buy your consciences this time? Tens of millions? A hundred million?
00:44:38Keep your money. Keep your guilt. And keep your hands off me.
00:44:47He was coming after me again. But this time, I wouldn't stop.
00:45:05Get out.
00:45:10Tell me how to fix it. Tell me what you want. Gold? Estates? Or should I destroy the Perez family?
00:45:18Name your request. But you are not leaving me.
00:45:23I want a time wandering so I can go back three years and stop myself from wasting my youth on
00:45:30and a blind, arrogant fool.
00:45:47You are disgusting. You run to her infirmary, pay her off, and then come back and try to force yourself
00:45:54on me.
00:45:56Like an animal in heat. Tomorrow morning, nine o'clock. Elena Rostava's law firm. Bring your pen.
00:46:05He sat there, like a hollowed-out shell. But I had no strength left to pity him. Not anymore.
00:46:17Your wife's teeth are quite sharp. That needs stitches.
00:46:22Shut your mouth. I'm in no mood for this.
00:46:25What was that out there? You beat a man into a coma. You chased your wife like a stalker.
00:46:31Are you trying to protect your ego or are you finally admitting you don't want this divorce?
00:46:36I want the divorce. I am sick of her lies.
00:46:42I just won't let her walk away thinking she won.
00:46:46I won't let Jean-Luc touch her.
00:46:49You don't care about winning.
00:46:52You looked at her in that hallway like a starving dog guarding a bone.
00:46:56Watch your mouth.
00:46:58Tomorrow at nine, you sign the paper.
00:47:00By nine o'clock, she is a free woman.
00:47:04Tomorrow night, she will be sitting at another man's table.
00:47:08By midnight, another man will undress her.
00:47:11Can you handle that, Franklin?
00:47:16What's wrong?
00:47:17Sir, Miss Perez discharged herself from the infirmary.
00:47:20She is in the main lobby, screaming at the guards, demanding to see you.
00:47:23Bring her to the top floor private lounge.
00:47:26Keep her away from everyone.
00:47:31He was rushing to see his savior.
00:47:33He didn't know.
00:47:35He was walking himself right into the abyss.
00:47:47Franklin!
00:47:51Sit down.
00:47:57The whole city is talking.
00:47:59You beat a man half to death because he looked at Cadence.
00:48:03Tell me it isn't true.
00:48:04Tell me you didn't forget who saved your life.
00:48:07I hit him because he assaulted a representative of the Muller family.
00:48:11It had nothing to do with Cadence.
00:48:14What is that?
00:48:16She bit you?
00:48:17Were you kissing that bitch?
00:48:20Watch your tone.
00:48:22Until the documents are signed, Cadence is still my wife.
00:48:27You will not disrespect her.
00:48:31Mobilize the entire reserve fund.
00:48:33Initiate a hostile takeover of Chet's trading company.
00:48:36I want him bankrupt.
00:48:37Yes, sir.
00:48:38When will she be gone?
00:48:39Franklin, when will you be free?
00:48:43Tomorrow morning.
00:48:44Nine o'clock.
00:48:46Elena Rostovar's law firm.
00:48:48I am signing the papers.
00:48:49I will come with you.
00:48:51No.
00:48:53You will stay in your apartment.
00:49:06He had backed himself into a corner.
00:49:08For a lie, he was about to sign his own ruin with his own hand.
00:49:20To freedom.
00:49:21Thank you, Mom and Dad.
00:49:23Elena sent the confirmation.
00:49:25Tomorrow morning at nine.
00:49:26Then you will never have to look at that blind fool again.
00:49:37Excuse me.
00:49:50Boss, the black market is in chaos.
00:49:53Your broadcast worked.
00:49:55But the bounty for the elixir just broke the ceiling.
00:49:58The Perez family placed an anonymous bid for two billion gold coins.
00:50:03Update the bounty.
00:50:04M does not accept gold.
00:50:06State that the elixir will only be traded for the controlling shares of the Perez family's alchemical research labs.
00:50:18Everyone was searching frantically for the elixir.
00:50:22And it was right here in my hands.
00:50:24Eleven hours remained until I signed those divorce papers.
00:50:27By then, I would shed the title of the Holy Knight's commander's wife.
00:50:32And then, as M, I would burn Franklin's world to ash.
00:50:39You are walking away with nothing.
00:50:42No assets, no compensation.
00:50:44I have never seen a nobleman's wife demand so little.
00:50:47I don't want his money.
00:50:49I just want my freedom.
00:50:53Madam heard the rumors from last night.
00:50:55She is on her way to the Muller estate with her guards.
00:50:58She wants to see for herself that you two are fine.
00:51:00If she discovers the divorce, her heart won't withstand it.
00:51:06Cancel the signing.
00:51:08I have to go.
00:51:09If you walk out now, his lawyers will claim bad faith.
00:51:13A woman's life is on the line.
00:51:19I am not late.
00:51:21It's 9-0-2.
00:51:22What are you doing?
00:51:24The divorce is cancelled.
00:51:25Your grandmother is searching your estate.
00:51:28If she finds out, we are divorcing.
00:51:31Your heart is stuck.
00:51:32We have 15 minutes to get back and pretend we are madly in love.
00:51:37Take off the coat and the tie.
00:51:39Unbutton the top three buttons of your shirt.
00:51:42You don't look like you spent a lazy morning with your wife.
00:51:49Is this a game?
00:51:51Delaying the signing?
00:51:53Extorting more assets?
00:51:55You think I want to be trapped in a carriage with you?
00:51:57If you hadn't beaten a man half to death in public last night,
00:52:00the rumors wouldn't have reached Eleonora.
00:52:02This is your fault.
00:52:04I am just trying to keep her alive.
00:52:21Eleonora!
00:52:21What are you doing here?
00:52:24Franklin and I just got back from a walk in the Royal Gardens.
00:52:27We didn't know you were coming.
00:52:29You should have called.
00:52:31A walk?
00:52:31Then why is half the nobility whispering that my grandson is signing divorce papers this morning?
00:52:38What is that?
00:52:41The divorce rumors are a smoke sheen, Grandma.
00:52:44We leaked them to distract the vanguard contortion.
00:52:47As for this,
00:52:49Cadence and I had a rather passionate disagreement last night about the leak.
00:52:53You know how she is.
00:52:54Young couple's passion.
00:52:56Fine.
00:52:57I believe you.
00:52:58But the council won't.
00:53:00To prove this marriage is solid,
00:53:03Cadence,
00:53:03you will move back into this estate immediately.
00:53:06Eleonora,
00:53:07you will live together until the annual Muller Charity Gala next week.
00:53:12You will attend it together.
00:53:14You will sleep in the same bed.
00:53:16Of course, Grandma.
00:53:23The cage had closed again,
00:53:25but this time,
00:53:26I had no intention of being a well-behavored wife.
00:53:34The reputation of this family rests on your shoulders, Cadence.
00:53:39You are the lady of this house.
00:53:41I will not allow any cheap women to ruin the Muller name.
00:53:45Do you understand?
00:53:48I understand, Eleonora.
00:53:58Great acting, Cadence.
00:54:00When did you call her?
00:54:02How much did you exaggerate the rumors to get her here from across the continent?
00:54:06Last night?
00:54:07Or did you plan this the moment I handed you the papers?
00:54:11You have quite an imagination.
00:54:13Do you think everyone in the world is calculating how to squeeze more gold out of you?
00:54:17Brilliant strategy.
00:54:19As long as we don't sign the papers,
00:54:21you remain Mrs. Muller.
00:54:23You keep the power and status of my family.
00:54:25You wear that brooch and play the victim,
00:54:28manipulating everyone around you.
00:54:30You are absolutely right.
00:54:33What?
00:54:35I orchestrated the entire thing.
00:54:37I want the power.
00:54:40I want the status.
00:54:41And most importantly, I want to make sure that you and your pathetic little mistress never get a single day
00:54:47of peace.
00:54:49Do not play games with me.
00:54:51You are playing with fire.
00:54:52And I will burn you to the ground.
00:54:58He thought I cared about the power and status.
00:55:01He didn't know that I no longer cared about him at all.
00:55:05Sir, I checked your wife's communication logs,
00:55:08the messaging towers near the estate,
00:55:09the encrypted channels.
00:55:10Nothing.
00:55:11Her records are clean.
00:55:12No contact with Eleonora.
00:55:14Keep digging.
00:55:15Sir, look at today's Royal Financial Gazette.
00:55:18Page three.
00:55:19The headline reads,
00:55:21Franklin's marriage solid,
00:55:22Duchess confirms.
00:55:29Are you proud of yourself?
00:55:32Watching the standing go up?
00:55:34Was the royal messenger your idea?
00:55:36Or did you hire someone to take the still?
00:55:40If that's what you want to believe,
00:55:42then believe it.
00:55:43I am done explaining myself to you.
00:55:48Use my family to keep your title?
00:55:50Fine.
00:55:50Until my grandmother leaves this city,
00:55:53you will play the perfect, obedient wife.
00:55:56If you step out of line,
00:55:57I will make your life a living hell.
00:56:00I can't wait to see you try.
00:56:05Get your things.
00:56:06Once again, he used violence to assert his control.
00:56:10But this time, even his fists couldn't scare me.
00:56:16I told my staff to pack your things from the Chase Estate.
00:56:18They will be delivered within the hour.
00:56:20You will unpack them on this side.
00:56:22I am not moving back.
00:56:24I will sleep on the sofa when Eleanor visits.
00:56:27I am not playing house with you.
00:56:29You don't have a choice.
00:56:30My grandmother has eyes everywhere.
00:56:32If your clothes are not in this closet,
00:56:34she will know.
00:56:36You wanted to be Mrs. Muller so badly,
00:56:38now you get to play the role.
00:56:4024 hours a day.
00:56:41Under my roof.
00:56:43Under my rules.
00:56:52Isabel.
00:56:52Franklin, you have to help me.
00:56:54I'm going crazy.
00:56:55Your guards won't let me leave.
00:56:57I ordered them to keep you safe,
00:56:58not make you a prisoner.
00:57:00The whole city is talking about the still of you and Cadence.
00:57:03They're laughing at me.
00:57:05Even my gown tailor cancelled my order.
00:57:07I am sorry.
00:57:09It's a misunderstanding.
00:57:10Are you still divorcing her?
00:57:12Please tell me you are still leaving her.
00:57:14Yes.
00:57:15The divorce is still happening.
00:57:17I am coming over to your apartment right now.
00:57:33Those papers stay in there until the gala is over.
00:57:35When I decide to sign them, you will sign them.
00:57:38Until then, you are my wife.
00:57:52Cancel the luggage delivery.
00:57:54I am not moving back.
00:57:56He thought locking me in a cage meant he had won.
00:57:59He didn't know that he was the one trapped inside it.
00:58:02I went to see my grandfather, Theodore Chase.
00:58:06I told him everything that had happened
00:58:08between Franklin and me.
00:58:16This is not just about divorce anymore.
00:58:18This is war.
00:58:19The Perez family is liquidating their assets,
00:58:22splitting the black market with gold,
00:58:24searching for something, the elixir.
00:58:26Eleonora's heart is failing.
00:58:28The Perez family wants to find the elixir
00:58:31and present it to her.
00:58:33If that happens, that means Eleonora owe her one.
00:58:36She will force Franklin to marry Isabel.
00:58:38You will be thrown out
00:58:40and the Perez family will take over the Muller Empire.
00:58:43They are fighting a war they have already lost.
00:58:47What is your next move?
00:58:49Arrange a meeting for me.
00:58:51A visible, exclusive introduction.
00:58:55A blind date?
00:58:57A political statement.
00:58:59I need the entire nobility to see that the Chase family
00:59:02is seeking a new alliance.
00:59:10That bastard.
00:59:12I heard Franklin took Isabel to a coastal estate
00:59:15and bought her a pink diamond.
00:59:17The whole nobility is talking about it.
00:59:19He locks you in the estate
00:59:21while he goes off with that scheming woman.
00:59:24Then I will destroy his medical workshop.
00:59:27No.
00:59:29Make the call.
00:59:31Set up the meeting with the Kendrick family.
00:59:34And make sure the royal messengers
00:59:35know exactly where we will be.
00:59:38Elinona had left last night.
00:59:40My performance was over.
00:59:42Now it was time to show Franklin
00:59:43what a real declaration of war looked like.
00:59:49Madam, I heard that Mr. Franklin
00:59:52bought a pink diamond for Miss Perez.
00:59:54It is already spreading through the nobility.
01:00:00She got the diamond I'd waited three years for.
01:00:03But I didn't care anymore.
01:00:12Your grandfather spoke with Walter Kendrick.
01:00:14This is the profile of his son, Leland.
01:00:22The Kendrick family has deeper roots
01:00:25on the continent than the Muller.
01:00:28If you align with Leland,
01:00:29Franklin will never be able to touch you.
01:00:34It's set for tomorrow evening at seven.
01:00:37I will be there.
01:00:39You don't have to do this if you aren't ready.
01:00:42I am ready.
01:00:51Boss.
01:00:53Initiate phase two.
01:00:55Standing by.
01:00:56What's the broadcast?
01:00:57Post a global alert on the black market auction boards.
01:01:00Announce that the Shadow Coria
01:01:01will host an exclusive invite-only auction.
01:01:05The item is something that could revolutionize
01:01:08the kingdom's medical practices.
01:01:09The seller will only accept alchemical workshops in exchange.
01:01:14Not gold.
01:01:15The Perez family will lose their minds over it.
01:01:18They'll think it's the elixir.
01:01:19They'll leverage everything they have to get an invite.
01:01:24Bleed them a little.
01:01:31They wanted to humiliate me
01:01:33with their public display of affection.
01:01:37Then I would show them
01:01:39who the real winner was.
01:01:47Are you thinking about me?
01:01:54I'm just tired.
01:01:55You're lying.
01:01:57You won't even look at me.
01:02:05What is wrong with you?
01:02:06I told you I am dealing with a crisis.
01:02:10My brother Albeto called me an hour ago.
01:02:13The Perez family brokers have made contact with the black market.
01:02:17They found a lead on the elixir.
01:02:23The seller wants workshops, not gold.
01:02:26My family is preparing to liquidate our alchememical labs to secure it.
01:02:31We are giving up half our family fortune for you.
01:02:34Are you really going to marry me or are you just using me?
01:02:38The moment the judge stamps the final divorce decree,
01:02:41I will put a ring on your finger.
01:02:44We will be engaged.
01:02:51I love you.
01:02:55Sir, my source at the Chase Estate reports that
01:02:59Cadence has a reservation at the Silver Moon restaurant tomorrow at 7pm.
01:03:04She is meeting Leland Kendrick.
01:03:10He was rushing to ruin that meeting.
01:03:13His jealousy always got the better of his reason.
01:03:21When my father said you requested a meeting,
01:03:23I assumed we would discuss partnerships.
01:03:26I didn't expect to be having dinner with the woman who saved his life.
01:03:30I'm glad he made a full recovery.
01:03:32Thanks to you.
01:03:34He told me what happened that night.
01:03:37I must apologize for my aggressive actions.
01:03:41Leland,
01:03:41I believe in absolute honesty.
01:03:44I have to tell you I am still legally married to Franklin.
01:03:47I don't want to drag the Kendrick name into scandal,
01:03:50so you have to know what's going on.
01:03:54I'm not afraid of Franklin.
01:03:56Not his lawyers.
01:03:57And certainly,
01:03:59not the royal messengers.
01:04:01To honesty, then.
01:04:04To new alliances.
01:04:17Franklin had arrived.
01:04:19With his rage and jealousy.
01:04:22Seems locking you in the estate was pointless.
01:04:28Not even a few hours have passed.
01:04:30And you've already laced onto a new man.
01:04:33Mr. Muller, you're mistaken.
01:04:35I invited her to dinner because she saved my father's life.
01:04:38We owe her one.
01:04:41And you've got the wrong target.
01:04:43The only person in this room clinging desperately to a man.
01:04:47She's standing right behind you.
01:04:49This is your plan?
01:04:51Hiding behind him?
01:04:53You think he actually cares about you?
01:04:56Franklin, who I have dinner with, is none of your business.
01:04:59Just leave.
01:05:00You're embarrassing yourself.
01:05:01I believe she has made herself clear.
01:05:03If you do not have a reservation, Mr. Muller,
01:05:06I suggest you leave before I have the guards escort you out.
01:05:12We're not done yet.
01:05:16He left.
01:05:17But I knew he wouldn't let it go.
01:05:23Leland!
01:05:31Thank you for defending me.
01:05:33You were right.
01:05:35Life is too short to deal with unnecessary people.
01:05:39To answer your earlier question,
01:05:41yes, I would very much like to explore our future cooperation.
01:05:51That is the best thing I have heard all evening.
01:05:53Stop looking at her.
01:05:55Let's go.
01:06:08The message was received.
01:06:10It worked.
01:06:10I used you.
01:06:11I'm sorry.
01:06:13Don't apologize.
01:06:14It's strategy.
01:06:17You hit him where he is weakest.
01:06:19His pride.
01:06:20He won't let this go.
01:06:23An enraged beast always would strike back.
01:06:29Why are we sitting here?
01:06:30You promised to take me home.
01:06:33Eyes off!
01:06:34That bitch is just using him to get back at you.
01:06:36Shut up.
01:06:38Franklin's ego is bruised,
01:06:40but he will convince himself this was just a performance to make him jealous.
01:06:43He won't take it seriously.
01:06:46He needs a bigger shock.
01:06:47Exactly.
01:06:49We need to escalate this from a rumor to a formal alliance.
01:06:52I want to invite you and your father to the Chase Estet tomorrow afternoon.
01:06:56A formal meeting.
01:06:57We will discuss integrating my medical patents with your continental trade networks.
01:07:02My father will be thrilled.
01:07:04Tomorrow at three.
01:07:18Thank you, Leland.
01:07:20For everything.
01:07:23I knew Franklin saw it,
01:07:25but he didn't know that this game had only just begun.
01:07:36They are here.
01:07:38Just be yourself today, Cadence.
01:07:49Thank you, Leland.
01:08:21You have a brilliant mind, Cadence.
01:08:24Any man who marries the Chase daughter will be the luckiest man in the kingdom.
01:08:28I completely agree, Dad.
01:08:30Leland has done exceptional work on the continent.
01:08:36Did you sleep well last night?
01:08:41The air in the city is too heavy.
01:08:43I want to get out to the countryside estate for some fresh air.
01:08:47We have an estate in the countryside.
01:08:50You are welcome there.
01:08:51Yeah.
01:08:52I want to go to the noble hunting grounds.
01:08:55I need to shoot a few arrows.
01:08:58Do you know how to use a bow, Cadence?
01:09:00I am afraid I am a beginner, Mr. Kendrick,
01:09:02but I am always willing to learn.
01:09:05Perfect!
01:09:06I already have an afternoon reservation at the noble hunting grounds.
01:09:10Leland can teach you.
01:09:11We're leaving in an hour.
01:09:13I didn't like the sport,
01:09:14but for the Alliance, I had to play along.
01:09:18As the carriage passed over the river,
01:09:20I thought of the day I saved Franklin.
01:09:24The familiar suffocating grip clawed at my throat.
01:09:27Mrs. Chase, what style of architecture do you prefer?
01:09:31Leland's question pulled my attention away from the water just in time.
01:09:36Fifteen minutes later,
01:09:38the carriage rolled into the countryside estate.
01:09:46We are going to the front grounds.
01:09:48You two take your time on the archery range.
01:10:15I don't think I'm going to do it.
01:10:19Keep your head down.
01:10:21Now, release.
01:10:49Oh, my God.
01:10:51Isn't that Cadence?
01:10:52What is she doing with the Kendrick heir?
01:11:04Mr. Kendrick,
01:11:05I did not know you had given up your family's trading fleets
01:11:09to become a cheap archery instructor.
01:11:11If the student is Mrs. Chase,
01:11:14I'm more than willing to offer lifetime lessons for free.
01:11:19I warned you last night.
01:11:21You are still wearing the Muller name.
01:11:24You do not let another man touch you in public.
01:11:28Franklin,
01:11:29the only thing keeping me in your family
01:11:33is those papers you won't sign.
01:11:39You brought your mistress to the noble archery grounds.
01:11:43After I said it,
01:11:44I saw his face twist.
01:11:49How can she say that about me?
01:11:51We are practically engaged!
01:11:55Mr. Kendrick,
01:11:56you might not know.
01:11:57Cadence is still a married woman.
01:12:01If you keep touching her,
01:12:03your family will not be happy about the scandal.
01:12:05Ms. Perez,
01:12:07you misunderstand something.
01:12:08I am not here on a date.
01:12:10I am here representing the Kendrick family.
01:12:13We are finalizing a marriage contract
01:12:15with the Chase family.
01:12:16The second Cadence is legally single.
01:12:19The contract activates.
01:12:22I am simply protecting my future fiancé.
01:12:30I will never sign those papers.
01:12:33She is my wife!
01:12:35You just can't stand the fact
01:12:37that the woman who once loved you
01:12:39no longer begs for your attention.
01:12:46You can't even lift a bow,
01:12:49yet you are really sharp-tongued.
01:12:52Cadence,
01:12:53let's make a bet.
01:12:54Three arrows,
01:12:56we'll see who hits the bullseye first.
01:12:58She wanted to humiliate me
01:13:00with the one thing she was good at.
01:13:05The loser has to publicly admit
01:13:07their family is completely inferior
01:13:09and bow to the winner's family
01:13:11in front of every noble here.
01:13:13In the world of old money,
01:13:15refusing a public challenge
01:13:17was simply not done.
01:13:19It meant admitting you were weak.
01:13:21Isabel chose this moment
01:13:22on purpose to challenge me.
01:13:24Cadence,
01:13:25don't agree.
01:13:26Let's go.
01:13:28That's enough, Isabel.
01:13:30Shut your mouth and get back.
01:13:33What's wrong, Cadence?
01:13:35Is the Chase daughter a coward?
01:13:37Or do you just know
01:13:38you are going to lose?
01:13:43I accept.
01:13:45I will stand by
01:13:47whatever you decide.
01:13:55Perfect pull.
01:13:58Your turn.
01:14:04I knew I would lose.
01:14:06She knew I would lose.
01:14:07Everyone knew.
01:14:08But losing a game she was good at
01:14:10didn't mean losing the war.
01:14:23I guess the Chase family's gold
01:14:24can't buy archery talent.
01:14:31I lost.
01:14:34Bow your head.
01:14:37Tell everyone
01:14:38the Chase family
01:14:39is nothing compared
01:14:41to my family.
01:14:46I have never been
01:14:47particularly skilled at games.
01:14:49The Chase family
01:14:51has never derived
01:14:52its value from leisure.
01:14:53We derive it
01:14:54from innovation.
01:14:56Leland,
01:14:56to finalize our discussion
01:14:58from this morning,
01:14:59Chase Medical Guild
01:15:00formally accepts
01:15:01the Kendrick-Consura
01:15:02strategic partnership proposal
01:15:03for the continental market.
01:15:04My father and I
01:15:06look forward to hosting
01:15:07you and your father
01:15:08tomorrow
01:15:08to sign the initial
01:15:09merger terms.
01:15:15He had gone mad.
01:15:17But this time,
01:15:18his madness would only
01:15:20drag him deeper
01:15:21into the abyss.
01:15:26Take your hands
01:15:27off her, Franklin.
01:15:31Do you know
01:15:32what you are doing?
01:15:34Announcing mergers?
01:15:35Stop lying
01:15:36to yourself, Franklin.
01:15:38You don't care
01:15:39about the family.
01:15:40You are just having
01:15:41a meltdown
01:15:42because your toy
01:15:42is gone.
01:15:45You
01:15:45are jealous.
01:15:50You think
01:15:51finding a new
01:15:52noble backer
01:15:53will get you
01:15:53away from me?
01:15:54As long as you
01:15:55are my wife,
01:15:56you belong to me.
01:15:58Then sign
01:15:59the divorce papers
01:16:00today.
01:16:01Prove to everyone
01:16:01that you can
01:16:03live without me.
01:16:04Even if I sign
01:16:05those papers,
01:16:06I will freeze
01:16:07every gold coin
01:16:08you have.
01:16:09I will make sure
01:16:10you leave me
01:16:11with nothing.
01:16:13Enough!
01:16:14Everyone is
01:16:14watching you!
01:16:29Stop this
01:16:30right now!
01:16:31My father
01:16:32had arrived,
01:16:33but Franklin's
01:16:34fist
01:16:34could no longer
01:16:36be pulled back.
01:16:44We are leaving.
01:16:45Cadence.
01:16:46A daughter
01:16:47of the Chase
01:16:48family does not
01:16:48need to prove
01:16:49her worth
01:16:49to some bastard.
01:17:04My bag.
01:17:06Wait here.
01:17:07Wait here.
01:17:18Why did you run
01:17:19out there?
01:17:21Why do you care
01:17:22if she makes
01:17:22a deal with
01:17:23the Kendricks?
01:17:23Do you still
01:17:24love her?
01:17:25I told you.
01:17:26I was protecting
01:17:27the family's image.
01:17:29You are a liar!
01:17:30I saw how
01:17:31you looked at her!
01:17:34I have a headache.
01:17:37Stop acting
01:17:38like a child.
01:17:44I have a headache.
01:17:49They were fighting
01:17:50like mad dogs,
01:17:51but I had no
01:17:53interest in
01:17:53watching anymore.
01:18:02so the great
01:18:03Franklin Muller
01:18:04got punched
01:18:04by the
01:18:05Kendrick boy
01:18:05today?
01:18:07Shut up.
01:18:08If you are here
01:18:09to make fun
01:18:10of me,
01:18:10get out.
01:18:11You spent
01:18:11three years
01:18:12ignoring your
01:18:13wife?
01:18:14Now you're
01:18:15throwing punches
01:18:16over her?
01:18:17Why?
01:18:23Stop worrying
01:18:24about your
01:18:24bruised face.
01:18:25Look at this.
01:18:34But this time,
01:18:36his collapse
01:18:37would only
01:18:37drive him
01:18:38deeper into
01:18:38madness.
01:18:43Sir,
01:18:44we are already
01:18:45drafting a

01:18:46deny the

01:18:47you and
01:18:47Isabel.
01:18:48I don't
01:18:48care about
01:18:49Isabel.
01:18:50I want you
01:18:51to erase
01:18:51every message

01:19:22He made
01:19:23his vow
01:19:23to an
01:19:24empty room.
01:19:25He thought
