00:21Three years of marriage and you can't even get him into bed.
00:24How did I give birth to such a useless waste of space?
00:28Mom, let go. My ear is bleeding.
00:32So what if it's bleeding? If Dominic really files for divorce, the Sterling family will go bankrupt and your brother
00:36and I will end up wandering the slums.
00:38I'm warning you, if you fail to seduce him tonight, if you can't win his heart, I'll sell you to
00:41that 80-year-old madman down it to be his plaything.
00:42I hear he loves fragile little things like you.
00:44No! Mom, you can't sell me! Please!
00:46Worthless! Call Dominic right now!
00:55Merciful Virgin Mary, please make Dominic answer the phone.
01:06Sir, the Sterling family had a loophole in the marriage contract five minutes ago and illegally liquidated all 30 billion
01:11of your Overshoes trust of houses.
01:17Dominic, I didn't know. I really didn't know.
01:21Avery, the Sterlings dared to cross me and rob me of my wealth. Every last one of your family deserves
01:27to pay.
01:39I'm busy, don't bother me.
01:41I'm busy, don't bother me.
01:43I'm busy, don't bother me.
01:44I'm busy, don't bother me but I can't help you.
01:45You're busy, don't bother me, don't bother me but I don't spend money.
01:49I know you, don't bother me, but I'm busy.
01:55It's Dominic.
01:57He's finally coming home.
02:07I've been to the doctor and the doctor and the doctor.
02:12Dominic, you worked all night. Have some warm milk. It's good for your stomach.
02:17This pathetic act of self-sacrifice? Three years and you're still not tired of it? Take it away.
02:21I know you're swamped with work. I just wanted you to feel a little family warmth when you got home.
02:26Warmth? You make me sick. I wanted a wife, not some pathetic lap dog wagging its tail every time it
02:32sees me.
02:34So in your eyes, am I nothing but disgusting?
02:37Don't play the pitiful victim. I'll never fall for that trick again.
02:41Dominic, you'll never understand. Our marriage is only three years long. Yet you've been my only love for a whole
02:47decade.
02:48If you feel this wedding ring has trapped you, just say the word. I'll disappear whenever you want. Go find
02:54someone you truly desire.
02:55You're nothing.
02:59Miss Serafina, as the Iron Lady behind Europe's recent 10 billion dollar merger, does your return signal a major strategic
03:05shift for the Vanderbilt Group?
03:06The merger was nothing more than a trivial detour. I returned to take back what I entrusted to another three
03:10years ago. Someone who belongs to me.
03:12I believe no one but me is worthy of the man who stands at the clinical, Dominic Vanderbilt.
03:24Avery, Dominic is drunk in my arms. He's been calling my name over and over. It's breaking my heart.
03:30What? Serafina, it's you.
03:33After all, you're still his wife. Why don't you come pick him up? I wouldn't want his first day back
03:37to make headlines for spending the night at his ex's place.
03:39Come on, we're waiting in room nine at the Apex Club.
03:43I'll be right there.
03:48Boys, a toast to Serafina's return from Europe and back into Dominic's arms.
03:55To true love's return! Cheers!
04:05Dominic, are you alright?
04:07Well, well. If it isn't the little Sterling fraud. Haven't divorced yet?
04:11But, Avery, don't misunderstand. Dominic just had too much to drink.
04:17He was holding me for comfort, that's all.
04:20Who gave you the nerve to come here and ruin my mood?
04:22I thought you were drunk. I was worried about your stomach acting up. I came to take you home.
04:31Since you love playing the part of the devoted wife so much,
04:35Let me refresh your memory. Three years ago, when you used that innocent face of yours to swindle 300 billion
04:40from the Vanderbrooks,
04:42did you ever imagine this day would come?
04:43Every time you pretend to care, it makes me sick.
04:47Want attention? Go kneel on the street.
04:49Staying here only makes me despise you more.
05:03Don't let irrelevant people ruin the mood. Continue.
05:10Dominic, just let it go. Avery looks quite pitiful right now.
05:14Serafina, you're way too naive.
05:16Show mercy to a woman who clawed her way up with dirty tricks and she'll only think she can get
05:20away with it.
05:21Exactly. If the Sterlings hadn't pulled all those dirty tricks at the wedding three years ago,
05:25she never would have become the Vanderbilt matriarch.
05:27She's been living this stolen life for far too long.
05:31The Vanderbilt and Sterling marriage was always just a cold business deal between the two families.
05:37There was never any real love in it. Not one bit.
05:44So everything I've given them these past three years, to them it's all just stolen goods?
05:55Avery, don't run off so fast.
05:57Seeing an old friend end up like this? You're honestly just sad and pathetic.
06:02Back then, you were the untouchable son, and I was just a stray cat the Vanderbilt's took in on a
06:07whim.
06:07I was so jealous of you.
06:10Finally dropping the act?
06:15How dare you, you homewrecker. Do you really think you'd stay Bamberg's matriarch forever?
06:20You're no spoiled, well-backed heiress anymore. You're just a worthless-less leech.
06:26Serafina, if the Vanderbilts hadn't taken you in, you'd still be rotting away in that orphanage.
06:31And now you're out here snatching someone else's husband?
06:34You're the one who should get the hell out of this city.
06:37Avery!
06:39I was just trying to see you off! Why did you push me?
06:45Serafina, are you alright?
06:51Serafina! Dammit, you're bleeding!
06:53Don't blame her, Silas! I shouldn't have appeared at this moment.
06:59Avery! Serafina's already given everything back to you!
07:01How much longer are you going to keep being this cruel and vicious?
07:06I'm talking to you!
07:08You zapped or something?
07:09You love playing pretend so much?
07:12Today I'm going to teach you some manners for dominance!
07:19Stop!
07:26Keep re-pretending.
07:28Let's see how long you can keep this act up.
07:51Dominic, save me!
07:54Please!
07:55What the hell is going on?
07:59Dominic!
08:00Don't be mad at Silas!
08:02Avery just snapped!
08:04She started hitting me and screaming!
08:06And she even tried to push me into the street!
08:09Silas only pushed her out into the road to protect me!
08:24Dominic, did you come here specially to take me back?
08:28Dominic, let's go!
08:30Let's go!
08:31This farce ends here!
08:34Dominic, I knew I was your favorite!
08:44Let's go back to drinking!
08:50Dominic, I knew I was your favorite!
08:57But if the only ray of light I've been holding out for is already gone, what's even the point
09:02of keeping going?
09:10Avery, here's that agreement you had me secretly draft for you last year.
09:14You really sure you thought this all the way through?
09:26Let's go!
09:28this farce ends here thank you for your hard work arthur
09:37are you crazy that was your dad's last ace in the hot he left it to you in secret to
09:42keep the
09:42sterling family from going under you're already set on getting a divorce so why on earth would
09:46you sign over dollar your entire 300 million overseas trust to that heartless jerk do you
09:50want to end up with nothing at all since he claims my three years of companionship was nothing but a
09:59scheme to swift vanderbilt assets then this money shall serve as the funeral expenses for those 12
10:05years of misplaced youth from this moment on he and i are square
10:13you're committing suicide based on the current liquidation if you walk away with nothing
10:19you'll have absolutely nothing left i'm not committing suicide at arthur i'm atoning
10:25what the sterling family owes him i'll settle in full with these three years of dignity and this money
10:33atonements in the eyes of a capitalist like dominic this isn't atonements it's bad debt disposal

11:54thing keeping her alive that's brutal it's almost making me feel sorry for the little deaf girl
