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.
00:17That 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.
00:30Relax, she'll never know. Girls 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? The man who's supposed to marry you?
01:00I'm breaking that door down. No! No, Stella! He's cheating on you!
01:04If I open that door, I'll have to see it.
01:10Maybe you need to. No. Not tonight.
01:18You just lied to her, didn't you?
01:21She trusts me.
01:23He didn't just cheat.
01:24He lied while I was standing on the other side of the wall.
01:43I have to go home tonight. I'll see you at the office tomorrow.
01:47Drive 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.
02:18Long 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. I was working.
02:39What's going on with you?
02:41I could ask you the same thing.
02:43I'm exhausted. I don't want to fight.
02:45Neither do I.
02:51Who's Chloe?
02:55My new assistant.
02:57Since when do assistants call at 2 in the morning?
03:17He once said that that seat was mine.
03:28Please tell me you're not doing something emotionally stupid.
03:31I'm watching him choose her in real time.
03:35Where are you?
03:36Outside Blackwood.
03:38Do you want me to come with a baseball bat or a lawyer?
03:41Neither.
03:42I just needed to know I wasn't crazy.
03:45Some 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.
03:59I'm not protecting him anymore.
04:03You're late.
04:06So are you.
04:08What does that mean?
04:12Tell me, Adrian.
04:14How long has my seat belonged to him?
04:21You're stalking my assistant now?
04:24That's your defense?
04:26Chloe posts everything.
04:28It doesn't mean anything.
04:33Then explain the hotel.
04:36Room 603.
04:38Last night, I called you.
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. She took me there. I didn't plan it.
04:49You didn't plan to sleep with her, but you planned every lie after.
04:51It happened once.
04:55Once doesn't get her into your car.
04:57Once doesn't put my scarf on her body.
04:59Once doesn't make her wear the watch I bought you.
05:02You didn't make one mistake.
05:04You made a thousand choices.
05:07I love you.
05:11No.
05:12You love being loved by me.
05:17What are you doing?
05:18What I should have done the moment I heard your phone ring.
05:22You 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.
05:46You're not thinking clearly.
05:49I've never been clearer.
05:53You don't get to throw away ten years because of one mistake.
05:58It wasn't one mistake.
05:59It was a pattern.
06:04I said I'm sorry.
06:06You said it because you got caught.
06:11I was drunk.
06:13Were 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.
06:28No.
06:29You just enjoyed it.
06:33Where are you going?
06:34Anywhere you aren't.
06:35You're being dramatic.
06:39You cheated.
06:41You lied.
06:42You let another woman parade around in pieces of my life.
06:47And 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.
07:16Chloe, what happened?
07:30Mrs. Hayes
07:32Mr. Blackwood is in a meeting
07:34I'm not here for him
07:38Oh, you must be Stella
07:42Moving out already? That 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
08:03I mean, they took you in when you had nowhere to go
08:05It must be scary losing that safety bet
08:09Relax, I don't waste good coffee on trash
08:12Why are you humiliating me? I was just trying to be kind
08:24Adrian, please don't be mad at her
08:26She's just hurt
08:30What did you do?
08:32Interesting
08:33You didn't even ask what happened
08:36What happened?
08:38What happened?
08:44Apologize to Chloe
08:46You brought another woman into our bed
08:48And 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?
09:05I didn't know it was hers
09:08It was just a scarf, Stella
09:11To you, maybe
09:14But 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
09:23I'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?
09:44This is between me and Stella
09:47Not when you humiliate her in public
09:49Mr. Pierce, you don't understand
09:50She attacked me first
09:52Sweetheart, I bill by the hour
09:54Don't waste it lying
10:03What is this?
10:05A formal notice
10:06Mrs. Hayes is here to retrieve personal property
10:08Any interference will be documented
10:10This is unnecessary
10:14Cheaters always think paperwork is unnecessary
10:16Watch your mouth
10:18Make me
10:19Logan, let's go
10:22After you
10:24I'd advise against touching her
10:28Let her go
10:28She's just trying to make you jealous
10:38Different car
10:38Different man
10:40You always this arrogant?
10:42Only when I'm right
10:44You carry emergency coffee now
10:47I carry solutions
10:48Coffee is one of them
10:51Cry if you need to
10:52I'll pretend traffic is fascinating
10:56I'm not crying over him
10:57Good
10:59He doesn't look worth the mascara
11:12Stella!
11:14Stella!
11:26Did you enjoy humiliating me today?
11:29That's what you think happened
11:30You brought Logan Pierce to my company
11:32No
11:33He came because you cornered me in front of your employees
11:38He 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
11:51But you're acting like I'm some monster
11:53You let her mock me
11:54Chloe is emotional
11:56She didn't mean it
11:59She wore my scarf
12:00She sat in my seat
12:02She called you Adrian in front of me
12:04She meant every second of it
12:06You're making her bigger than she is
12:09No Adrian
12:09You made her important
12:13If you leave tonight
12:14I won't keep covering for you
12:16Covering for me?
12:18People at Black Hood still think of you as family
12:20Because I allowed it
12:21Without me
12:23You're just the girl my parents took pity on
12:28Thank you
12:32For what?
12:35For finally sounding like the man you really are
12:47What 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
13:13I 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
13:30I'll handle it
13:31Where are you going?
13:33To get back what's mine
13:34It'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
13:56You really shouldn't be here
13:57Take it off
13:58Oh
13:59This?
14:00Adrian gave it to me
14:01That belonged to my dead mother
14:03I didn't know
14:05Adrian said it was just sitting in his safe
14:10Did you give it to her?
14:12Adrian, I swear I didn't know
14:14You said I could borrow something pretty for the gala
14:16It was temporary
14:18You opened the safe
14:20Stella, it's a necklace
14:22No
14:22It was proof I trusted you
14:25Take it off
14:29Adrian, she's scaring me
14:44Move
14:44Not until you stop acting like this
14:47She's wearing my dead mother's necklace
14:49And 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, ow
14:57Adrian, it's stuck
15:03Give it to me
15:05I 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
15:18You'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
15:42You already did
15:44I really didn't mean to hurt you
15:46Yes, you did
15:47And next time you touch anything that belongs to me, I won't ask nicely
15:51No
15:52That's in the off, Stella
15:58Take it off
16:01Adrian, she's scaring me
16:06Mrs. Hayes
16:09Your access has been suspended
16:12By whom?
16:15Mr. Blackwood's office
16:17Ma'am
16:18If 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
16:27Best 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
16:37You 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
16:49When your retirement plan becomes a lawsuit
16:52Is that Logan?
16:54Miss me already, Blackwood?
16:56Stay out of this!
16:57Too late
16:58Too 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
17:26Thank you
17:27For the lawyer, the car, or stopping you from committing a very elegant murder in the lobby
17:31I wasn't gonna murder her
17:33Good
17:34Orange isn't your color
17:36He knew what this meant to me
17:38Then he knew exactly where to cut
17:42You 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
18:01Ma'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
18:34Why do you hate me so much?
18:37I don't hate you
18:37I'm disgusted by you
18:39I love him
18:40You love his name
18:41His money
18:42His family
18:43His last name
18:44And yet he picked me
18:46No
18:47He lowered himself to you
18:49Please 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
19:04My boss's ex won't stop befriending me
19:23I'm scared
19:23If we're some poor tooth smoke signs
19:25She sounds insane
19:27Isn't jealous facts
19:28The classic in the black woods was A-B-E-F-S
19:31That might be
19:40Stella Hayes
19:41Did you harass Chloe last night?
19:42Are you using your history with the blackheads to pressure Adrian?
19:44Is it true you threatened his new girlfriend?
19:52Move
19:53Did you threaten Chloe because Adrian chose her?
19:56Do you deny being obsessed with him?
20:01Oops
20:01Karma spills
20:05Stella any comment?
20:06Yeah
20:06I have one
20:12Logan
20:12Logan
20:13Don't look at them
20:14Look at me
20:15Every camera here just recorded harassment
20:17Say one more word about her past
20:19Her family
20:20Or 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
20:42Why are you questioning me?
21:03Keep it on
21:05I'm fine
21:06You're shaking
21:13I'm not him
21:15If you say stop
21:16I stop
21:25Eyes up Stella
21:33You always rescue women in elevators
21:37Only the stubborn ones who refuse to admit they need rescuing
21:39I didn't ask you to protect me
21:41I know
21:45That'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?
22:02No
22:10You're making a mistake
22:12I learned from the best
22:15I came to fix this
22:17Funny
22:19Every time you say that she ends up bleeding
22:21This 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
22:54Everyone
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
23:17Then 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
23:33Stay out of it, Logan
23:35Make me
23:37You 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?
24:01Especially from you
24:04Bad idea
24:05Bad idea
24:14Stella
24:14I hate that he can still hurt me
24:21That doesn't make you weak
24:24He 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
24:35You say that like you can stop him
24:37I can
24:40But I'd rather help you destroy him yourself
24:42Why?
24:44Because you're not a sad story, Stella
24:47You're a warning
24:55I can't use you to forget him
24:57Then don't
25:00When you kiss me again
25:02I 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
25:30I'm not nervous
25:33Good
25:34Then you won't mind me standing this close
25:45About the kiss
25:47The one you started
25:48The one you started
25:49It was a mistake
25:50No, it wasn't
25:53A mistake is something you don't want to do again
25:55You look like you wanted to
26:01Relax
26:02I'm not collecting kisses from women who are bleeding
26:05I'm not bleeding
26:07You are
26:07Just not where people can see
26:10I don't know who I am without him yet
26:15Then find out
26:19I'll be nearby
26:20Not in front of you
26:21Not behind you
26:24Nearby
26:44Is that blood?
26:46Don't touch anything
26:49Daniel
26:50Get security footage
26:52Now
26:57I've got you
27:09We'll test the liquid
27:10Could be animal blood
27:11Fake blood
27:12Anything
27:14And the threat?
27:16We'll file a report
27:19She 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
28:28I'm exposing the truth about the obsessed ex
28:31Who terrorized an innocent girl
28:32And trust me
28:34Her past is worse than you think
28:36Stella look at me
28:39They're gonna turn my childhood into content
28:41Then we turn their lies into evidence
28:44Then we turn their lies into evidence
29:00Stella
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
29:26Old project files don't end up in a competitor's pitch
29:30You don't know that she leaked it
29:34Her device opened the file
29:37Someone could have used her device
29:39You'll defend her before you even ask what happened to me
29:42Because every time something happens
29:45You make it about Chloe
29:47Every time
29:48She wore my mother's necklace
29:50She filmed me
29:52She sent reporters
29:54After me
29:56Let it him
29:57And now she used your access
30:00To steal my work
30:01You don't have proof she sent reporters
30:04No
30:04But I have proof you keep giving her weapons
30:09Access
30:09Protection
30:11Excuses
30:12My things
30:13My name
30:14My silence
30:17What else are you going to hand her, Adrian?
30:25Adrian, is she accusing me again?
30:29Your 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
30:44Why do you hate me so much, Stella?
30:47Because Adrian trusts me now?
30:51He gave you access to my work
30:55Maybe he trusted me
30:56Because I don't turn every problem
30:57Into a public breakdown
31:02You're waving company records around
31:04Like you still belong here
31:07I'm here because you stole from me
31:09No, Stella
31:10You lost something
31:12There's a difference
31:14You keep giving her weapons
31:17I gave her work access
31:19You're twisting it because you're angry
31:26After everything his family did for you
31:30You're trying to ruin his company
31:34Maybe you just can't stand that Blackwood doesn't need you anymore
31:39You'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
31:52You 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
32:13If you drag Chloe into a lawsuit
32:16I'll have to respond
32:17Then respond
32:23Some women lose a man
32:24And 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
32:49You don't have to face this alone
32:56He brought her here
33:01Mrs. Blackwood
33:02Thank you for having me
33:05I didn't
33:08Mom
33:08Don't mum me
33:09Not tonight
33:12Chloe
33:14I'm sorry
33:15I've just been dizzy lately
33:19I didn't want to announce it like this
33:23Announce what?
33:27I might be pregnant
33:32Is it yours?
33:33I'm sorry, Stella
33:35I know this hurts you
33:44Answer me
33:45Answer me
33:45Is the child yours?
33:50We're still figuring things out
33:53Of 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
34:23Into my event
34:25And now you stand there protecting it
34:27Mom
34:29Chloe might be carrying my child
34:35So he cheated and got the assistant pregnant?
34:38What about Stella?
34:40Old story
34:41Men like him always move on
34:54Stella, 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
35:31And yet somehow the most poisonous thing in it isn't the perfume
35:35Logan, I need a minute
35:37Chloe, out
35:41Now
35:49Do you want me to get Mia or Evelyn?
35:53No, just help me with the zipper
36:02Tell 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!
36:39My baby!
36:45What did you do?
36:47What did you do?
36:56She pushed a pregnant woman?
36:57That's criminal
36:59I 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?
37:07You believed every lie she told you
37:10But when I tell the truth, suddenly you need proof
37:13Please, please don't fight
37:15Just 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
37:30I won't forgive you
37:32I 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
37:44And I break your wrist legally
37:47She hurt my child
37:50What child?
37:51What child?
37:56Daniel
37:57Get the hallway footage
38:01Adrian, please
38:03Take me to the hospital
38:07Funny
38:07Liars always hate cameras
38:15Don't blame Stella
38:22Tell me the truth
38:23I already did
38:24Did you follow her?
38:26No
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 pushed Chloe, I'll make sure she pays
38:52You really think I could do that?
38:55After ten years, that's what you think of me
38:58Adrian, please
39:00Adrian
39:03If you leave with her now
39:04Don'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
39:22The 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
39:48I'm thinking
39:50That sounds dangerous
39:53He really thought I could hurt a baby
39:58He thought what was convenient
40:02Is 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
40:12Normal 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
40:29From me
40:30Practically poetry
40:36Careful
40:37What?
40:38If you keep looking at me like that
40:39I'll start thinking you mean it
40:41Go upstairs
40:43Lock the door
40:44Or I'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?
41:16She checked for witnesses first
41:17She wanted everyone to think I did it
41:22And 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?
42:06Chloe 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
42:38So let her lie where everyone can hear her
42:41Now you're thinking like me
42:49Tonight, my truth
42:50What Stella Hayes did to me and my unborn child
42:56Good
42:57Let her bury herself
43:04If 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
43:26You 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?
43:39I suspected
43:41You looked me in the eye
43:42And 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
43:47Chloe goes down
43:48I go down
43:49Blackwood goes down
43:50Tell 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
43:58So you could survive loudly
44:01You lost the right to say that
44:02Stella
44:03We were supposed to get married
44:05Don't
44:14Perfect
44:21Stella
44:25Why did you throw away the ring after Chloe lost her baby?
44:27Do you feel any remorse?
44:38Mr. Pierce
44:39Are 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
45:01That sounds almost romantic
45:03I 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
45:23But Stella Hayes won't stop attacking me
45:28And yet he picked me
45:31Please
45:31Please
45:32Stella, stop threatening me
45:34I just love him
45:35What do you mean, Stella?
45:37She called me disgusting
45:38She threatened me
45:41I was terrified
45:43I know the Blackwoods took you in
45:45But you can't use pity to keep Adrian forever
45:49She just called me trash
45:50I was only trying to be kind
45:52Adrian gave it to me
46:00Your call
46:00We can stop here
46:08No
46:10She hasn't lied about the baby yet
46:13I still feel the fall
46:15I still hear myself screaming for my baby
46:18She said it
46:20Release the stairwell footage
46:38What video?
46:39I don't know what you're talking about
46:42That's fake
46:44That has to be fake
46:49Not yet
46:50She'll reach for the baby lie next
46:52Even if I fell by myself
46:54Stella 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
47:04Girl
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
47:31Is so desperate to destroy the Blackwoods
47:33Maybe it's because they were the only family
47:35She ever had
47:36Her mother left
47:38Her father gambled her life away
47:40Then the Blackwoods took her in
47:42And this is how she repays them
47:44Extensions 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
48:00Turn on channel 6
48:03Mrs. Blackwood
48:04Is 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
48:27I am choosing the truth over a coward
48:29And if I must lose a son to protect my daughter
48:32Then my son should have behaved like one
48:40Stella for days people have been talking about your past
48:44Your 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?
48:58Too far
49:00Yes
49:02He was violent
49:03He was drunk
49:04He made choices no 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
49:21I didn't control Adrian
49:23I 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?
49:31Chloe you wore my mother's necklace to hurt me
49:33You 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
50:09Mom
50:10I warned you not to hurt her
50:12So that's it Stella cries and everyone forgets I'm your son
50:16Stella 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?
50:26I'm taking back what you were never mature enough
50:27This is because of her
50:28No!
50:29This is because of you!
50:34You're choosing her over me
50:37We chose decency
50:38You 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
51:03Did you encourage Chloe Tate to defame Stella Hayes?
51:05Did you know Chloe faked the pregnancy?
51:11Are you stepping down from Blackwood Group?
51:13No comment
51:14Did you promise to marry Chloe if she kept quiet?
51:18You said people would believe me
51:22They did
51:23Until you handed them evidence on livestream
51:25This is Adrian's fault
51:28He...he said he'd protect me
51:30Then prove it
51:32Give them more texts
51:33More voice notes
51:35If you're going down
51:37Drag 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
52:04He 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
52:40And when she accused me of killing a baby that never existed
52:43You believed her
52:46I...
52:47I was scared
52:50So was I
52:52But I didn't become cruel
52:54I lost everything Stella
52:57You're not sorry you hurt me
52:58You're sorry it cost you
53:00No
53:02Forever ended in room 603
53:05Stella
53:06She said no
53:07You think you won?
53:09Did he take you from me?
53:11He didn't take me
53:12I left
53:13Because I don't want you anymore
53:40Chloe
53:41Chloe 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
53:51Sold 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
54:12You did it because you wanted her life
54:24Mrs. Hayes
54:28After everything that happened
54:29Why 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
54:59No
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
55:09Thank you
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
55:37You didn't tell me
55:41I like surprising beautiful women with power
55:46Actually I have one more surprise
55:47Actually I have one more surprise
