00:00:00Rain wasn't just falling in Manhattan that night. I felt the impact before I heard it.
00:00:05Metal shrieked against metal. Warm blood trickled down my temple.
00:00:08I fumbled for my phone and pressed speed dial for husband.
00:00:12I called three times. No one answered.
00:00:15The fourth time, it went through. But it was his assistant's voice.
00:00:19I got into a car accident on the Manhattan highway. Please help me.
00:00:25Please stop calling. Mr. Wilson is busy. He told you to stop bothering him with this kind of trick.
00:00:30No, I'm not lying. I'm really...
00:00:32The line went dead. My words died in my throat.
00:00:35Four years of being a wealthy man's wife and he still saw me as nothing,
00:00:39but a cunning wife who would do anything to get his attention.
00:00:42I couldn't hold on any longer. Everything went black.
00:00:46When I woke up, I had been taken to a hospital.
00:00:50Where is your husband?
00:00:52I turned my head toward the TV on the wall.
00:00:54Clive was walking the red carpet with his ex-girlfriend, the star Angelina Stewart.
00:00:59He claimed he was busy with work.
00:01:00When his wife was hanging by a thread, he was walking the red carpet with his ex-girlfriend.
00:01:06I gave a bitter smile, signed the discharge papers, and left.
00:01:11I didn't go back to our home.
00:01:13Instead, I called Zoe.
00:01:16Stay put at the hospital entrance. I'm coming to get you.
00:01:19The next morning, I only went back to the penthouse to get my passport and laptop.
00:01:26But I found an ultrasound report in Clive's jacket.
00:01:30Angelina Stewart? Found out she was pregnant three days ago?
00:01:35So my husband lied to me.
00:01:37He said he was going to Boston for a merger,
00:01:39but he was actually accompanying his ex-girlfriend to the obstetrist department?
00:01:44What are you doing?
00:01:45He came back through the door without me noticing.
00:01:48My hand trembled.
00:01:49The ultrasound fell to the floor.
00:01:51Pale and helpless, I looked up at him.
00:01:53You went through my pockets?
00:01:55Shouldn't you be explaining to me why this was in your pocket?
00:01:58Angelina is going through a crisis.
00:02:00She's a public figure.
00:02:02The media could tear her apart at any moment,
00:02:04so I arranged for her to go to the hospital discreetly.
00:02:07Clive, maybe you never really saw me as your wife at all.
00:02:10You have everything, Anelia.
00:02:12A $10 million penthouse, an unlimited credit card,
00:02:16the Wilson name.
00:02:17What more do you want?
00:02:18You think I married you for your money?
00:02:21He scoffed.
00:02:22Isn't it?
00:02:23Our marriage was a business arrangement.
00:02:26Four years ago, I fell for him at a banquet.
00:02:28My father treated my marriage like a business deal,
00:02:31but I thought it was fate.
00:02:32Four years, and I still couldn't melt his heart.
00:02:37Clive, let's end this.
00:02:40I want a divorce.
00:02:43I pulled down a battered old suitcase from the top shelf.
00:02:47Inside was the voice acting career trophy
00:02:49I had treasured for so many years,
00:02:52the only thing I was taking with me.
00:02:54I picked up my suitcase and walked toward the apartment door.
00:02:58He was getting angry.
00:03:00Divorce?
00:03:01Don't be ridiculous.
00:03:03He caught my arm.
00:03:05If you dare walk out that door,
00:03:07I'll freeze all your credit cards.
00:03:09You'll be broke!
00:03:11I don't want your money.
00:03:13I pulled my arm free
00:03:15and walked away without looking back.
00:03:17He stood there frozen in shock.
00:03:20My stomach ached with hunger.
00:03:22It had been almost 24 hours since I last ate.
00:03:26I grabbed a turkey sandwich and a bottle of water,
00:03:29walked to the register,
00:03:31and took out a bank card.
00:03:35Ma'am, this card doesn't work.
00:03:38Try it again.
00:03:41Still no.
00:03:42Ma'am, do you have another card?
00:03:44I dug out several cards from my wallet
00:03:47and handed them over one by one.
00:03:49Every single one was declined.
00:03:51The people behind me started getting impatient.
00:03:55I opened the hidden account on my phone.
00:03:59$1,450,000.
00:04:01The money was saved from my voice acting work
00:04:03before the marriage.
00:04:04Once I touched it,
00:04:05Clive's lawyers would find out
00:04:07they would say I was hiding assets
00:04:08during the divorce.
00:04:10There was no guarantee I would get to keep it.
00:04:12Sorry, if you can't pay, step aside.
00:04:14I lowered my head.
00:04:15I counted the last cash in my pocket.
00:04:17Three crumpled dollar bills
00:04:18and a handful of quarters.
00:04:20I'll just take the water.
00:04:22I put the change on the counter.
00:04:24I grabbed the water bottle and walked out.
00:04:27Laughter followed me out.
00:04:31I crouched by the roadside.
00:04:33My stomach still ached,
00:04:34but my pride hurt more.
00:04:36My phone vibrated.
00:04:38A voice message from Clive.
00:04:41Hungry yet?
00:04:42Come home, apologize,
00:04:44and I'll lift the freeze on your cards.
00:04:46Don't be stubborn, Analia.
00:04:48I pressed delete.
00:04:50This is only temporary.
00:04:53Starfall, the voice actor,
00:04:55will return soon.
00:04:57I called my best friend Zoe for help.
00:04:59She took me in.
00:05:01She didn't ask any questions.
00:05:03She just gave me a warm hug.
00:05:07Welcome back, Starfall.
00:05:10You can stay as long as you want.
00:05:12The walk-in closet can be your recording studio.
00:05:15I opened my laptop.
00:05:17The Pantheon Saga was casting.
00:05:19Queen Aethelgard,
00:05:20a warrior who'd lost everything but refused to give up.
00:05:23That's the one.
00:05:24I put on my headphones and closed my eyes.
00:05:27I thought of the car accident,
00:05:28the frozen cards,
00:05:30the ultrasound photo on the floor.
00:05:33You think you can break me by taking my crown?
00:05:36I built this kingdom from the bodies of men like you!
00:05:40Zoe stood at the doorway, stunned.
00:05:43My God!
00:05:44Analia,
00:05:45your performance was amazing!
00:05:47This role will be yours.
00:05:48This was my first recording in four years.
00:05:51With a nervous heart,
00:05:53I dragged the audio into an email.
00:05:55God, please let this work.
00:05:57This is about my comeback.
00:05:59It's about whether I can take my mother and live independently.
00:06:03My mother had been in a private hospital for a long time,
00:06:06with her medical bills covered by the Graves Family Trust.
00:06:09That was my father's last act of decency towards her,
00:06:13but it also became the rope that choked me.
00:06:15The email was sent successfully.
00:06:17Audition,
00:06:18Queen Aethelgard,
00:06:19Starfall.
00:06:20On the other side of the city,
00:06:23Galen Webb,
00:06:23the director of the Pantheon Saga,
00:06:25was listening to Angelina's audition.
00:06:28Frowning with displeasure.
00:06:30No, it's too mechanical.
00:06:31She got so many lines wrong.
00:06:33She didn't even bother to memorize her lines.
00:06:37I need to find another voice actor.
00:06:39There's a voice actor named Starfall
00:06:41who submitted a demo to the inbox.
00:06:43Do you want to take a look?
00:06:44Never heard that name before.
00:06:46She's a nobody.
00:06:48Ah, well,
00:06:50let's just have a listen first.
00:06:52It's like you're hearing a voice
00:06:54you've always imagined
00:06:55but never actually heard.
00:06:57This is the voice of Queen Aethelgard
00:06:58I've always imagined.
00:07:00Quick,
00:07:00contact her.
00:07:02Set up a meeting for tomorrow.
00:07:03The next day,
00:07:04I received a message
00:07:06that I was to meet the director.
00:07:09I was so happy
00:07:10I couldn't sleep at night.
00:07:13And then Clive called
00:07:14at five in the morning.
00:07:17Analia,
00:07:18I need the gray tie.
00:07:19You come home
00:07:19and find it right now
00:07:20and I might unfreeze
00:07:21one credit card for you.
00:07:22No need.
00:07:23Don't contact me
00:07:24unless it's about the divorce.
00:07:25I'm very busy.
00:07:28Busy doing what?
00:07:29Sleeping on your friend's
00:07:30hard crappy sofa?
00:07:31Stop this nonsense.
00:07:32Come back now.
00:07:33Our marriage isn't just
00:07:34about the two of us.
00:07:36If you don't agree
00:07:37to the divorce,
00:07:38you'll soon receive
00:07:39divorce papers
00:07:40from my lawyer.
00:07:41With that,
00:07:42I blocked him.
00:07:45After I hung up,
00:07:47Clive got so angry
00:07:48that he smashed a vase.
00:07:51She actually hung up on me!
00:07:53Soon you'll see
00:07:53how harsh the world is.
00:07:55You can't handle any job.
00:07:57In the end,
00:07:58you'll still come back to me.
00:08:03The next morning,
00:08:04Angelina called.
00:08:06Klein,
00:08:07did you see Twitter?
00:08:08I've been working
00:08:09so hard on my acting,
00:08:11but they call me
00:08:11nothing but a pretty face.
00:08:13The director wants
00:08:14someone else to dub for me.
00:08:16My stomach hurts.
00:08:17Don't worry.
00:08:18I'll take care of it.
00:08:19Stay off social media
00:08:20and rest for the baby.
00:08:23Tomorrow I have to go
00:08:25see Gaten Webb.
00:08:26This role belongs
00:08:27to Angelina.
00:08:29The next day,
00:08:30I wore a baseball cap
00:08:31and a thrift store trench coat.
00:08:33Today,
00:08:34I was meeting Galen,
00:08:35but just as the elevator doors
00:08:37were about to close,
00:08:39a hand stopped them.
00:08:41Klein walked in.
00:08:43Galen Webb is auditioning
00:08:44a voice actor named Starfall.
00:08:46Never even heard of her.
00:08:48No way I'm letting her succeed.
00:08:49Panic rose inside me.
00:08:51He seemed to feel my gaze.
00:08:52His eyes glanced over me
00:08:54and I quickly looked down.
00:08:56As I was getting out
00:08:57of the elevator,
00:08:59he suddenly stopped me.
00:09:01Wait.
00:09:07Do you know where
00:09:08Director Galen's office is?
00:09:09I shook my head
00:09:10and he didn't look at me again.
00:09:13Just as I was breathing
00:09:14a sigh of relief,
00:09:16my phone rang.
00:09:17It was Galen
00:09:18and at the same time
00:09:19I saw Galen
00:09:20walking out of his office.
00:09:22My heart skipped a beat.
00:09:23This was bad.
00:09:25In desperation,
00:09:27I knocked over the coffee
00:09:28in a nearby office worker's hand.
00:09:31The coffee spilled
00:09:32all over Clive.
00:09:35What are you doing?
00:09:37I'm sorry.
00:09:38So sorry.
00:09:39I shoved a few hundred dollars
00:09:41in cash into the employee's hand
00:09:43and pointed at Clive's clothes.
00:09:46Please take him to the lounge
00:09:47and help him clean up.
00:09:48The office worker led Cleve
00:09:50to the lounge
00:09:50to change his clothes,
00:09:51but he suddenly stopped
00:09:53and looked back, puzzled.
00:09:56That voice sounded
00:09:58a little familiar.
00:09:59I quickly walked over to Galen
00:10:01and followed him
00:10:02into his office.
00:10:03It wasn't until the door closed
00:10:05that I dared to breathe.
00:10:08Your starfall?
00:10:09Yes.
00:10:10The audition that followed
00:10:12went very smoothly.
00:10:14Your voice reminded me
00:10:15why I make films.
00:10:16The contract is here.
00:10:18Take a look.
00:10:19I skimmed the contract.
00:10:21I'll sign,
00:10:22but for some personal reasons
00:10:23my identity must remain secret.
00:10:25No press tours.
00:10:25No photo shoots.
00:10:27Just the voice.
00:10:28No problem.
00:10:29I picked up the pen
00:10:30and signed my name
00:10:31on the dotted line.
00:10:33Starfall.
00:10:35I had barely left the office
00:10:36when Clive stormed in.
00:10:38Who the hell is Starfall?
00:10:40Why would you refuse Angelina
00:10:42for a nobody?
00:10:43Clive,
00:10:44even though you're an investor,
00:10:46please respect my work.
00:10:48This decision is for
00:10:49our mutual benefit.
00:10:52He stepped out of the office
00:10:53and roared at his assistant.
00:10:55Find out who Starfall is!
00:10:57Pay her to back out
00:10:57of the contract.
00:10:58Tell her not to mess
00:10:59with Angelina
00:11:00or I'll make sure
00:11:01she's blacklisted.
00:11:02I stood around the corner
00:11:03listening to his rage
00:11:05with a smirk on my face.
00:11:07Clive,
00:11:07you only care about Angelina.
00:11:09But this time,
00:11:10I will never give
00:11:11this role to her.
00:11:12I realized my visitor's
00:11:14past was missing.
00:11:15My real name was on it.
00:11:16If Clive saw it,
00:11:17he would know
00:11:17that I was Starfall.
00:11:18It must have been dropped
00:11:19in the lobby.
00:11:21I looked everywhere
00:11:23in the lobby.
00:11:23A voice stopped me
00:11:24from behind.
00:11:25Analia,
00:11:26looking for this?
00:11:27Cole Hall,
00:11:29Clive's friend.
00:11:30I never expected him
00:11:31to also be the CEO
00:11:32of Apex Media.
00:11:34Analia,
00:11:35you're Starfall.
00:11:36The voice actor
00:11:36Galen interviewed today?
00:11:37Clive has no idea.
00:11:39He even asked me
00:11:39to investigate you.
00:11:40No,
00:11:41you've got it wrong.
00:11:42I,
00:11:43I'm here on behalf
00:11:44of a friend.
00:11:44I watched as the elevator
00:11:46numbers were about
00:11:47to reach the first floor.
00:11:48I hurriedly tried
00:11:49to snatch back
00:11:50the visitor's pass,
00:11:51but Cole wouldn't
00:11:52give it back to me.
00:11:53That sounds like a lie.
00:11:55I need to call Galen
00:11:56down to confirm.
00:11:57Before I could answer,
00:11:59the elevator doors opened.
00:12:01Clive stepped out.
00:12:03Cole?
00:12:04Who are you talking to?
00:12:05I snatched the visitor's pass
00:12:07and turned to leave,
00:12:08but Clive grabbed my hand.
00:12:11You,
00:12:11you were that woman
00:12:12in the elevator just now?
00:12:14He recognized my coat.
00:12:15Clive,
00:12:16take a closer look.
00:12:17Who is she?
00:12:19I couldn't hide
00:12:19my identity anymore.
00:12:21My hat was taken off.
00:12:23Onalia?
00:12:24It's you.
00:12:27If this gets out,
00:12:28I'll terminate the contract
00:12:29and you won't benefit
00:12:30either, Cole.
00:12:31The air froze
00:12:31for a few seconds.
00:12:33Cole was the first
00:12:34to break the silence.
00:12:35Clive,
00:12:36your wife came to see me.
00:12:37Personal business.
00:12:38Personal business?
00:12:39You're here to beg
00:12:40Cole for money, right?
00:12:42Cole,
00:12:43don't give her a dime.
00:12:43You're arrogant,
00:12:45Clive.
00:12:46Without you,
00:12:46I can still live
00:12:47just fine.
00:12:50I turned
00:12:51and walked
00:12:51toward the door.
00:12:54What was she doing here?
00:12:55It's just business
00:12:56between families,
00:12:57Clive.
00:12:58Be better
00:12:59to your wife.
00:13:02After I got home,
00:13:03I felt uneasy.
00:13:05I wasn't even sure
00:13:06if Cole would really
00:13:07help me.
00:13:08Then my phone
00:13:09lit up with a text message
00:13:10from an unknown number.
00:13:12Now you owe me one.
00:13:14I didn't reply.
00:13:16What did he want from me?
00:13:18A large orange box
00:13:19arrived at the door.
00:13:27Inside was a Birkin bag.
00:13:29Darling,
00:13:30wear our promise bracelet.
00:13:32Tonight at eight,
00:13:33don't miss it.
00:13:35What is he trying to do?
00:13:37Did he realize his mistake
00:13:39and want your forgiveness?
00:13:41He just needs me
00:13:42to show the reporters
00:13:43and everyone else
00:13:45that his marriage
00:13:46is still stable.
00:13:48I went.
00:13:49Last time
00:13:50when we argued
00:13:51and I mentioned divorce,
00:13:52he didn't take it
00:13:53seriously at all.
00:13:54This time,
00:13:55I wanted to make him
00:13:57see my resolve.
00:13:58In the corner,
00:14:00Cleve saw that
00:14:00I hadn't brought
00:14:01the bag he gave me
00:14:02or any of his jewelry.
00:14:04His face darkened.
00:14:09Where's the bracelet
00:14:10I told you to wear?
00:14:12Where's the bag
00:14:12I gave you?
00:14:14I came to return them.
00:14:16I pulled a small
00:14:17velvet box from my bag
00:14:19and placed it on the table.
00:14:20Then I took off
00:14:21my wedding ring
00:14:22and set it beside the box.
00:14:24Are you crazy?
00:14:25This place is packed.
00:14:29They would find out
00:14:30about our divorce
00:14:31sooner or later.
00:14:33Analia,
00:14:33you're out of your mind.
00:14:35Without me,
00:14:35you'll have nothing.
00:14:38No, Cleve.
00:14:39You never really knew me
00:14:40and you had no idea
00:14:41what I gave up for you.
00:14:44What do you mean?
00:14:45I turned
00:14:46and walked away.
00:14:48Behind me came
00:14:49the sound
00:14:49of a wine glass
00:14:50crashing.
00:14:52Analia!
00:14:54I didn't look back.
00:14:56The grave's estate.
00:14:57My stepmother,
00:14:58Bianca,
00:14:59stood at the door
00:14:59in pink silk.
00:15:01Where's Clive?
00:15:02He's working.
00:15:03Honey,
00:15:04Analia is here
00:15:05and she came alone.
00:15:07My father sat
00:15:07in the study.
00:15:08If you get the wine
00:15:09from Clive,
00:15:10I'll continue to cover
00:15:11your mother's
00:15:12medical expenses.
00:15:13Dad,
00:15:13this is the last time.
00:15:15Soon I'll be able
00:15:16to afford mom's
00:15:16medical bills
00:15:17on my own.
00:15:17If you still have
00:15:19any feelings for her,
00:15:20stop using her
00:15:21to threaten me.
00:15:22He didn't believe me.
00:15:23I didn't bother
00:15:23to explain further.
00:15:24I just left.
00:15:28Tell Clive
00:15:29I need a Porsche.
00:15:30Did you hear me?
00:15:31Get a job, Bianca.
00:15:33Buy it yourself.
00:15:34If it weren't for me
00:15:35making the connection
00:15:36back then,
00:15:37you'd never have had
00:15:38the chance to marry Clive.
00:15:39You enjoy the good life
00:15:40but forget to repay us.
00:15:42You selfish woman!
00:15:43I never wanted to marry
00:15:44above my station.
00:15:46Even on my own,
00:15:47I could live
00:15:47a good life!
00:15:48After arguing
00:15:49with my stepmother,
00:15:50I walked out that door.
00:15:51The cold wind
00:15:52was biting.
00:15:53The next morning,
00:15:55I walked into
00:15:56the Wilson Group building.
00:15:58Mrs. Wilson,
00:15:59do you have an appointment?
00:16:00Tell Liam
00:16:01if I don't see Clive
00:16:02in five minutes.
00:16:04I'll send the evidence
00:16:05of Angelina's pregnancy
00:16:06to his mother.
00:16:07Three minutes later.
00:16:14Threatening me, huh?
00:16:16That's new.
00:16:17Give me the 1945
00:16:18Roman A. Conte.
00:16:24Why should I?
00:16:25Give it to me
00:16:26and I won't file
00:16:27for divorce
00:16:28before your quarterly
00:16:29earnings call.
00:16:30Deal.
00:16:30But I have a condition.
00:16:32Friday's charity gala.
00:16:34You have to attend.
00:16:36My grandmother
00:16:37saw the headlines
00:16:37and nearly had a stroke.
00:16:39We'll show up together.
00:16:41After the gala ends,
00:16:43deliver the wine
00:16:43to my father's house.
00:16:47I turn to leave.
00:16:49You look
00:16:49different, Analia.
00:16:52Yes.
00:16:53Because I've finally
00:16:54woken up, Clive.
00:16:57In Zoe's tiny bathroom,
00:16:59a red velvet dress
00:17:01hung on the door.
00:17:02I bought it
00:17:03three years ago.
00:17:04Back then,
00:17:05I was too afraid
00:17:06to wear it.
00:17:07Afraid it wouldn't
00:17:08be proper enough.
00:17:09Now,
00:17:10it was perfect.
00:17:14Are you ready?
00:17:15Don't mess up
00:17:16tonight's dinner party.
00:17:19No?
00:17:20But Starfall is ready.
00:17:22You're not afraid
00:17:22he'll recognize you?
00:17:25So what if he does?
00:17:27He's never really
00:17:28seen me anyway.
00:17:30Downstairs,
00:17:31a black Rolls Royce
00:17:32idled.
00:17:33Clive stared
00:17:35at the third floor window.
00:17:46Why isn't she down yet?
00:17:48Should I go up
00:17:49and get her?
00:17:51No.
00:17:52We wait.
00:17:53What he didn't know
00:17:54was that the woman
00:17:55he waited for
00:17:56was no longer
00:17:57the same one
00:17:57he had married.
00:17:58The back of the Rolls Royce
00:18:00was a vacuum of silence.
00:18:01I wore a black
00:18:02Trent coat,
00:18:03buttoned to my chin.
00:18:05You're late.
00:18:06Makeup is always
00:18:07a bit of a hassle.
00:18:09I hope you're wearing
00:18:10something decent
00:18:10under that coat.
00:18:11You better not
00:18:12be wearing rags.
00:18:14The Wilson family
00:18:15can't afford
00:18:15the embarrassment.
00:18:16Worry about yourself,
00:18:17Clive.
00:18:18I won't be
00:18:19the embarrassment
00:18:19tonight.
00:18:21What's that
00:18:21supposed to mean?
00:18:22I didn't answer.
00:18:24I just looked
00:18:24out the window,
00:18:25a faint smile
00:18:26on my lips.
00:18:27He would have
00:18:28his answer
00:18:28soon enough.
00:18:31The car pulled up
00:18:32to the Wilson estate.
00:18:38Remember,
00:18:39don't embarrass me.
00:18:42Don't worry.
00:18:43I'll only shock you.
00:18:45I unbuttoned my coat.
00:18:48One,
00:18:49two,
00:18:50three.
00:18:51The flash bills
00:18:51went nuclear.
00:18:53The red velvet dress.
00:18:56It shimmered
00:18:57like liquid ruby.
00:18:59Clive stood there
00:19:00like he had been punched.
00:19:02He had never
00:19:02seen me like this.
00:19:05I looked like a queen.
00:19:08What the hell
00:19:09are you wearing?
00:19:10It's called fashion,
00:19:11Clive.
00:19:12You still wear pleats.
00:19:13Give me your hand.
00:19:14He opened
00:19:15a velvet box.
00:19:16The five-carat
00:19:18diamond ring
00:19:18lay inside.
00:19:19He forced it
00:19:20back onto my finger.
00:19:25Now you look
00:19:25like my wife.
00:19:29I hate you.
00:19:33Hate me all you want.
00:19:34Just don't embarrass me.
00:19:44Nice dress.
00:19:47Rent it?
00:19:49Looks like something
00:19:51a hooker would wear
00:19:52to a funeral.
00:19:53When others mocked me,
00:19:55Clive never defended me.
00:19:57Tonight was no different.
00:20:00It's Alexander McQueen.
00:20:02I understand
00:20:03why you're confused.
00:20:05The only price tag
00:20:06you're used to seeing
00:20:07is the clearance sign
00:20:08at Walmart.
00:20:11You!
00:20:13Just then,
00:20:14Clive's grandmother
00:20:15appeared.
00:20:17Clive's grandmother
00:20:18always fretted
00:20:19that Clive and I
00:20:19didn't have a child.
00:20:20She thought something
00:20:21was wrong with my body.
00:20:22But the truth was,
00:20:23Clive didn't want children.
00:20:24I paid a fortune
00:20:25for this prescription
00:20:26from a naturopath.
00:20:27It works wonders
00:20:27for regulating the body.
00:20:29Drink it.
00:20:31Grandmother,
00:20:32I've been having
00:20:33some stomach issues lately.
00:20:34Could I skip it for now?
00:20:36This is Grandma's kindness.
00:20:37Besides,
00:20:37it's medicine.
00:20:38It won't upset your stomach.
00:20:39Just drink it.
00:20:40I had no other choice.
00:20:41I picked up the bowl
00:20:42and drank it.
00:20:44It tasted like dirt and bile.
00:20:46Maybe she's barren.
00:20:48Clive couldn't have cared less
00:20:50about my stepmother's tants.
00:20:52I smiled.
00:20:54Clive, darling,
00:20:55you looked a little pale.
00:20:58Here,
00:20:59have some more protein.
00:21:01I picked up the wasabi
00:21:02from the table
00:21:02and scooped a massive chunk
00:21:04onto his sushi.
00:21:06Open up, dear.
00:21:08What?
00:21:09What are you doing?
00:21:11Now,
00:21:11I couldn't be the only one
00:21:12who was miserable.
00:21:14Come on,
00:21:14open up.
00:21:16He ate.
00:21:18The heat burned his ulcer
00:21:20like molten lead.
00:21:21Too spicy?
00:21:22I'm so sorry.
00:21:24I forgot about
00:21:25your delicate stomach.
00:21:26His eyes widened instantly.
00:21:29You.
00:21:30You did that on purpose.
00:21:32Did I?
00:21:33I was just trying
00:21:34to take care of you.
00:21:36Enough.
00:21:37Back to business.
00:21:39You must go
00:21:40to the appointment
00:21:41next Friday.
00:21:46I have work
00:21:46next Friday.
00:21:47I can't make it.
00:21:48What work?
00:21:50I have a career.
00:21:51Clive supports it.
00:21:53Don't you, Clive?
00:21:54I kicked him hard
00:21:55under the table.
00:21:57Yes.
00:21:58I support it.
00:22:01Work?
00:22:02Analia doesn't need
00:22:03a job.
00:22:04Her only job
00:22:04is to stay home
00:22:05and wait for Clive
00:22:06and make sure
00:22:08he doesn't fall
00:22:08for another woman.
00:22:10Those words cut deep.
00:22:12Clive had fallen
00:22:13for his ex-girlfriend
00:22:14a long time ago.
00:22:15Speaking of work,
00:22:16Bianca,
00:22:17how are things
00:22:18with your tennis coach?
00:22:20Bianca was so startled
00:22:21that she dropped
00:22:22her wine glass,
00:22:23shattering it.
00:22:23Clive's eyes widened again.
00:22:25He hadn't expected
00:22:26me to fight back.
00:22:27What is she talking about?
00:22:28I have screenshots
00:22:29and photos.
00:22:30Do you want to see them,
00:22:31mother?
00:22:32Get out!
00:22:33Go to the library!
00:22:34Are you crazy?
00:22:36Grandma's health
00:22:37is fragile.
00:22:38How could you say
00:22:39something like that
00:22:40in front of her?
00:22:41And Bianca is your stepmother.
00:22:43Is this how you
00:22:44treat your own elder?
00:22:45She's the one
00:22:45who mocked me first.
00:22:47Why couldn't I fight back?
00:22:49All these years,
00:22:50how many ugly things
00:22:51had she said about me?
00:22:52Have you ever
00:22:53once defended me?
00:22:55Can't you just
00:22:55tolerate it?
00:22:57Tolerate it?
00:22:58You were the one
00:22:59who didn't want children,
00:23:00so why did I have to
00:23:01bear all this pressure alone?
00:23:03Because I loved you
00:23:05more than you loved me?
00:23:06Yes, but I compensated
00:23:07you every time.
00:23:09Luxury cars,
00:23:10mansions,
00:23:10black cards,
00:23:11when have I ever
00:23:12shortchanged you?
00:23:13I want dignity.
00:23:15I want to be treated
00:23:16like a human being,
00:23:17not a decoration,
00:23:18not your prop!
00:23:20Calm down.
00:23:20We can talk about this.
00:23:22There's nothing
00:23:22left to talk about.
00:23:23I've said what
00:23:24I needed to say.
00:23:26Let go of me,
00:23:27I'm leaving!
00:23:27I won't.
00:23:28You can't just
00:23:28walk away like this.
00:23:30He wouldn't let go.
00:23:32In the struggle,
00:23:32he suddenly pulled me
00:23:33close and kissed me.
00:23:34A kiss of comfort,
00:23:35of possession,
00:23:36as if that one kiss
00:23:37could erase everything.
00:23:39I bit down,
00:23:40hard.
00:23:40The taste of blood
00:23:41spread in my mouth.
00:23:42He finally let me go.
00:23:44We're still getting
00:23:45a divorce.
00:23:45Don't touch me again.
00:23:47Ever again.
00:23:49He stood there frozen,
00:23:50a hint of panic
00:23:51on his face.
00:23:51That same Clive
00:23:52who always stood
00:23:53above everyone
00:23:54who never panicked.
00:23:55Right now,
00:23:55he was standing
00:23:56in the garden
00:23:56like a lost child.
00:23:58But I didn't look back.
00:23:59I turned
00:24:00and got into the car.
00:24:02This time,
00:24:03I wouldn't go soft.
00:24:04Midnight.
00:24:05The Graves Estate.
00:24:06I placed the wine case
00:24:07on my father's desk.
00:24:09I'm done with you,
00:24:10Dad.
00:24:11Don't call me again.
00:24:14I will always
00:24:16be your father.
00:24:17You'll need
00:24:18my support someday.
00:24:19Until next time,
00:24:20daughter.
00:24:21Back at Zoe's apartment,
00:24:23I collapsed
00:24:24on the sofa.
00:24:25My phone buzzed.
00:24:27Liam was downstairs
00:24:28with a delivery.
00:24:30At 1 a.m.?
00:24:31Clive had his assistant
00:24:33send over
00:24:33an expensive bag.
00:24:36Even more precious
00:24:37than the last one.
00:24:38Worth $200,000.
00:24:41That's a house deposit.
00:24:44Find a resealer tomorrow.
00:24:46We're selling it.
00:24:47Are you sure?
00:24:48I don't want his gifts.
00:24:50I want his regret.
00:24:53I held the bag
00:24:54he gave me in my arms.
00:24:55I had to sell it
00:24:56for the money
00:24:56to save my mother.
00:24:58A black Maybach
00:24:59lighted to the curb.
00:25:01Clive sat in the back.
00:25:03Get in.
00:25:03I have errands to run.
00:25:05I don't have time for you.
00:25:06You're going to sell
00:25:07what I gave you.
00:25:08Don't think I don't know.
00:25:09Get in.
00:25:13I got in.
00:25:15The moment the door closed,
00:25:17the air turned heavy.
00:25:19Analia,
00:25:20I know your mother
00:25:20needs money.
00:25:22I can give it to her.
00:25:25Nothing has to change.
00:25:27Just move back in.
00:25:28Right now.
00:25:30Then let me stay dead.
00:25:31I want a divorce.
00:25:34Today.
00:25:36Divorce?
00:25:40You think you can survive
00:25:41without me?
00:25:45Then he walked around
00:25:46and pulled me out.
00:25:49You want independence?
00:25:51Then walk!
00:25:52Don't ever ride in my car again!
00:25:58Don't touch anything I give you.
00:26:02I stood on the roadside,
00:26:04shaking.
00:26:09Clive,
00:26:10you'll regret doing this to me today.
00:26:12He kicked you out of the car?
00:26:15He threw the bag too.
00:26:17You went back for it?
00:26:18$200,000, Zoe.
00:26:20I'd crawl through a sewer for that right now.
00:26:23The next day,
00:26:24I went to a luxury resale store.
00:26:26The Himalayan Birkin.
00:26:27Crocodile.
00:26:28Diamond hardware.
00:26:29The clerk's eyes bulged.
00:26:31$125,000.
00:26:32Direct buyout.
00:26:33Wire today.
00:26:34Deal.
00:26:34Thirty minutes later,
00:26:36I walked out.
00:26:37My phone buzzed.
00:26:39The bank had placed a large transaction under review,
00:26:41and the funds were frozen for 72 hours.
00:26:43My money was visible but untouchable.
00:26:46Clive, you're cruel.
00:26:47When I was at the end of my rope,
00:26:49I received a job offer from the owner of a recording studio.
00:26:52That's beneath you.
00:26:53I don't have the luxury of dignity.
00:26:56My bank account is frozen,
00:26:58and my mother is dying.
00:27:01The studio was in the basement of a laundromat in Brooklyn.
00:27:05The producer was a man named Lenny.
00:27:08Name?
00:27:09Starfall.
00:27:10Script is on the stand.
00:27:11Don't improvise.
00:27:12Time is money.
00:27:13I stepped into the booth.
00:27:15The mic was a battered Shure SM58.
00:27:17The headphones had static in the left ear.
00:27:19The script was awful.
00:27:21His throbbing desire pulsed like an untamed beast.
00:27:24I could barely get through it.
00:27:26It was pure pulp trash.
00:27:27But I thought of the bag Clive had thrown away,
00:27:30and my mother in the hospital.
00:27:31I kept reading.
00:27:32Your voice is pretty good.
00:27:34You passed the audition.
00:27:36He paid me $500.
00:27:39Enough for a week of groceries and subway fare.
00:27:41My phone buzzed.
00:27:43Five missed calls?
00:27:44All from the hospital.
00:27:48Something must have happened to my mother.
00:27:53I immediately took a taxi to the hospital.
00:27:56My mother's heart stopped.
00:27:57The doctor said the next 24 hours were critical.
00:28:01I needed to get my father here to discuss the treatment plan together.
00:28:04Dad?
00:28:05Mom's heart stopped.
00:28:07You need to come.
00:28:08I'm in the middle of a deal.
00:28:10I can't leave.
00:28:12The doctors are paid to do their job.
00:28:14Let them do it.
00:28:14She might die.
00:28:17Everyone dies.
00:28:18Don't be dramatic.
00:28:23After hanging up, I sat on the floor outside the ICU all night.
00:28:28I even forgot about the divorce hearing the next day.
00:28:30My phone died, so I missed it.
00:28:34I borrowed a charger from the nurse's station.
00:28:36The moment my phone turned on, Clive's missed calls filled the screen.
00:28:39I called him back immediately.
00:28:42Don't use your mother as a shield.
00:28:44It's pathetic.
00:28:44Her heart stopped.
00:28:46I was at the hospital all night.
00:28:49My phone died.
00:28:51I asked your father.
00:28:52He said there was nothing serious at all.
00:28:54That you just didn't want the divorce.
00:28:56Analia, you were such a good actress.
00:28:59You almost had me fooled.
00:29:01I told the truth, but he didn't believe me.
00:29:03He never did.
00:29:04Clive, you will find out how serious I am.
00:29:08I was going to find a lawyer and formally discuss the divorce with you.
00:29:14I tried calling lawyers from the hospital rooftop.
00:29:18As soon as they heard my husband was Clive, they all turned me down.
00:29:23Then, when I was exhausted, a man appeared.
00:29:28You look like you've gone ten rounds with a heavyweight.
00:29:33Eleven rounds.
00:29:34My name is Analia.
00:29:37I'm Jerome.
00:29:38I'm here for a client helping them with a medical malpractice case.
00:29:43You don't take drinks from strangers?
00:29:45Smart.
00:29:49I sue people for a living.
00:29:51I don't poison them.
00:29:52He pulled out his phone.
00:29:53The light illuminated his face.
00:29:55I thought he was taking a photo.
00:29:57I lunged and grabbed his wrist.
00:29:59Whoa.
00:30:00Look.
00:30:01His phone was on a weather app, not the camera.
00:30:03I let go.
00:30:05I'm sorry.
00:30:06I thought...
00:30:07Do you get followed often?
00:30:09I should go.
00:30:12I ran back into the corridor, my heart racing.
00:30:15But I didn't know he was Clive's lawyer.
00:30:18After parting with me, Jerome walked out of the hospital.
00:30:21A black Maybach idled at the curb.
00:30:24Clive sat inside.
00:30:26A girl on the terrace.
00:30:29Looked like a wreck.
00:30:31Thought I was taking her picture.
00:30:33Sounds crazy.
00:30:34He didn't tell Clive that the crazy woman was me.
00:30:38He wasn't entirely on Clive's side.
00:30:41Driver, take us to the club.
00:30:43Angelina was waiting.
00:30:46At the club, Angelina hung on Clive, wearing a silver sequined dress.
00:30:51Did you get rid of that vase?
00:30:52She played you.
00:30:54Don't call her that.
00:30:58She's still my wife.
00:30:59At the same time, in the hospital room, I had no idea that Jerome had already hidden my identity for
00:31:04me.
00:31:05Instead, I was focused on taking care of my mother.
00:31:07Analia, you came.
00:31:10I'm here.
00:31:11I'm always here.
00:31:13After my mother fell asleep, I made up my mind.
00:31:16I had to earn more money and take her away from the family.
00:31:21The money from selling the bag was far from enough.
00:31:24I had to make my comeback as Starfall as soon as possible.
00:31:28The hospital billing desk.
00:31:29My father's trust fund was frozen.
00:31:31A stop payment order was issued by the donor.
00:31:34The funds had been pulled.
00:31:35I called my father.
00:31:37He froze the account.
00:31:38He was a liar.
00:31:39You got the wine, but you didn't bring your husband back.
00:31:42That's business, not charity.
00:31:44You were killing her!
00:31:46I had no choice.
00:31:48I needed to make a deal with Clive.
00:31:50I walked through the revolving doors.
00:31:53This time I wasn't asking.
00:31:55I was negotiating.
00:31:56Name?
00:31:57Analia Wilson.
00:31:58I don't see you on the list.
00:32:00Clive was playing games.
00:32:02He wanted the receptionist to block me.
00:32:04I have the recording of your illegal transaction with Harrison.
00:32:06Let me up in three minutes.
00:32:07The SEC gets it.
00:32:10Send her up!
00:32:12Now!
00:32:13I walked to the elevator.
00:32:15The elevator doors opened.
00:32:17Jerome Gillespie was standing inside.
00:32:18Turns out he was Clive's corporate lawyer.
00:32:23Do I know you?
00:32:27I didn't think so.
00:32:32You are going to negotiate with Clive using that USB drive?
00:32:36Your job wasn't to ask questions.
00:32:39Which side I pick depends on who needs help more.
00:32:43Was he an ally or a trap?
00:32:48You got here fast.
00:32:52I want two things.
00:32:54Mother's medical trust unfrozened.
00:32:56And independent property rights.
00:32:58The recording.
00:33:00I put the USB drive on the desk.
00:33:03There's a copy with my lawyer.
00:33:05When did you become like this?
00:33:07I was always this way.
00:33:09You just never knew me.
00:33:10Clive sat behind his desk.
00:33:12You have the file?
00:33:14It's in a secure cloud.
00:33:17It will get deleted when you sign the spousal support.
00:33:21And unfreeze the joint account.
00:33:23Extortion!
00:33:24I could have you arrested.
00:33:26And I could have you indicted.
00:33:28Which is worse for the stock price.
00:33:32I'm hungry.
00:33:33Before I sign, make me lunch.
00:33:35Those lunch boxes you used to make.
00:33:38I miss them.
00:33:39I returned with the finished Binto box and placed it on the desk.
00:33:44Have some food.
00:33:46It tastes good.
00:33:49I knew.
00:33:50I made it perfect.
00:33:53So you knew what you would never taste again.
00:33:57Now.
00:33:58Sign.
00:33:59He got angry and almost threw the plate across the room.
00:34:05What is she doing here?
00:34:06I'm leaving now.
00:34:07No, we're not done talking yet, Angelina.
00:34:10Wait for me outside.
00:34:11But Angelina refused.
00:34:13She lied.
00:34:14Claiming I was secretly recording him.
00:34:17That I was trying to set Clive up.
00:34:18To get more in the divorce settlement.
00:34:20What is this?
00:34:22Clive, she's recording you with her phone.
00:34:24Angelina grabbed my phone.
00:34:26Before I could react, she hurled it to the floor.
00:34:29No!
00:34:29That had all my evidence!
00:34:32Without that phone, I couldn't access the secure cloud.
00:34:35The recordings, the photos, all my leverage.
00:34:38Gone.
00:34:39What?
00:34:39Upset?
00:34:40You should have disappeared a long time ago.
00:34:42This time, I didn't hold back.
00:34:44I grabbed her by the hair.
00:34:46How dare you break my phone!
00:34:49Do you really think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you?
00:34:54Both of you, stop!
00:34:56Angelina, get out!
00:34:57Why should I leave?
00:34:58She's the one who should go!
00:35:00I said get out!
00:35:01He kicked Angelina out, but then told me to let it go.
00:35:05He was still protecting her.
00:35:06I picked up the phone.
00:35:08The screen was shattered and black.
00:35:11Nothing would turn on.
00:35:12I'm done.
00:35:14Completely done.
00:35:15I rushed out of the office and ran to the elevator.
00:35:18The doors opened.
00:35:20Jerome was standing inside.
00:35:22He saw the devastation in my eyes.
00:35:25Take me away.
00:35:26Anywhere.
00:35:27Just not here.
00:35:29Okay.
00:35:30I've got you.
00:35:32The Aston Martins smelled like cedar.
00:35:34I sat in the passenger seat.
00:35:36Jerome drove.
00:35:38Where are we going?
00:35:40Dropped me at the corner of 5th and 23rd.
00:35:45He pulled over.
00:35:47I stepped into the cold wind.
00:35:50I pulled out my phone.
00:35:52The cheap plastic burner I just bought.
00:35:55Tell Mr. Wilson the foie gras in his lunch was bought from a street vendor.
00:35:59I didn't wash my hands.
00:36:00There was still sand on the oyster shells.
00:36:03Enjoy.
00:36:04I could almost imagine Clive reading the text, then bolting into the bathroom and throwing up.
00:36:14Liam!
00:36:15Cut off every card!
00:36:17Sir, she hasn't spent a dime since she left.
00:36:21She wasn't using the accounts at all.
00:36:23Clive was furious.
00:36:25No, that's impossible.
00:36:27Then whose money had she been spending all this time?
00:36:31Find out for me!
00:36:32The next morning, the Wilson Group executive lobby.
00:36:36The receptionist stood up.
00:36:37I am here to get Clive to sign the divorce papers.
00:36:40Clive sat behind his desk.
00:36:42He looked immaculate, but there were dark circles under his eyes.
00:36:45You have some nerve coming back.
00:36:48Sign it.
00:36:49I need confirmation of receipt.
00:36:51Speaking of humor, what's this urologist appointment?
00:36:54He didn't find out about my voice acting work.
00:36:56But he did find out that I was seen on a street corner late at night with a mysterious man.
00:37:01What's his name?
00:37:03I won't tell you.
00:37:05Protecting your lover?
00:37:06How noble.
00:37:08Cancel the appointment.
00:37:09You scared Angelina with your crazy behavior yesterday.
00:37:13Apologize to her.
00:37:15Or I'll ruin your life.
00:37:17You have no decency.
00:37:19I must have been blind to marry you back then.
00:37:23It's too late for regrets now.
00:37:26I left the building at a near run.
00:37:28My phone started getting notifications.
00:37:30One after another.
00:37:32Gym membership cancelled.
00:37:33Spa appointment removed.
00:37:34Uber black account suspended.
00:37:36The gym is gone.
00:37:37The spa is gone.
00:37:38Even Uber won't let me ride anymore.
00:37:41He's cutting off all your resources.
00:37:43But these were his to begin with.
00:37:44If he wants them back, fine.
00:37:46You don't look scared at all.
00:37:48Because I don't need his things anymore.
00:37:50I opened the family trust app.
00:37:52I found my name.
00:37:53Annalena Graves Wilson.
00:37:55I tapped remove user.
00:37:57Now the trust account is gone too.
00:37:59Are you really going to remove it?
00:38:02That was your last safety net.
00:38:04That wasn't a safety net.
00:38:06That was a chain.
00:38:07Sir.
00:38:08She just removed herself from the account.
00:38:11What?
00:38:12She removed herself?
00:38:14Yes sir.
00:38:15It was her own doing.
00:38:17What is she trying to do?
00:38:19I opened my phone.
00:38:21An email from Zoe.
00:38:23Galen Webb wanted to see me?
00:38:25Something about work.
00:38:27Galen Webb?
00:38:29He finally reached out.
00:38:32I told you.
00:38:34You'd make a comeback.
00:38:36Tonight at 8.
00:38:37The Waldorf.
00:38:38I won't mess it up this time.
00:38:41Want me to come with you?
00:38:42No.
00:38:43I have to go alone.
00:38:46I drafted a cold, legal email.
00:38:49Laying out a separation timeline.
00:38:52Then hit send.
00:39:01Come to my office.
00:39:08He pulled out a document.
00:39:10He came prepared.
00:39:12You want a clean break?
00:39:13I can give you that, but not now.
00:39:15Keep up the marriage for one year.
00:39:17During this year, I won't touch you, and I won't interfere with your life.
00:39:21But in public, you'll play along and continue to be my wife.
00:39:25In return?
00:39:25I'll cover all of your mother's medical bills.
00:39:29One year of playing the happy couple, and my mother would be safe.
00:39:33I signed.
00:39:35The contract starts immediately.
00:39:38Tonight's charity gala at the Waldorf.
00:39:41We show up together.
00:39:42No.
00:39:43I have an appointment tonight.
00:39:45Cancel it.
00:39:45I couldn't cancel it.
00:39:47The meeting with Gaydon was on the fourth floor, and Clive's dinner party was in the
00:39:51banquet hall on the second floor.
00:39:53Maybe, maybe I could do both.
00:39:56I drove the rental Chevy.
00:39:58A woman in a $5,000 gown, behind the wheel of a beat-up sedan.
00:40:02Rush hour.
00:40:04Midtown Manhattan was a parking lot.
00:40:06I found a side street.
00:40:08Just as I turned, the car ahead slammed its brakes.
00:40:11No, no, no!
00:40:12No!
00:40:13A crunch!
00:40:14A man jumped out of the SUV.
00:40:16A pregnant woman climbed out of the passenger side.
00:40:19You hit us!
00:40:20You crazy rich bitch!
00:40:22My baby!
00:40:23Oh God, my baby!
00:40:27I'm sorry, here's my insurance.
00:40:29The woman slapped the card out of my hand.
00:40:31You're not really hurt, are you?
00:40:32What did you say?
00:40:33You hit a pregnant woman, and now you're trying to get out of it?
00:40:37I could see it.
00:40:38This was extortion.
00:40:40Just then, a silver Aston Martin pulled up beside me.
00:40:44Jerome stepped out, dressed in a perfectly tailored tuxedo.
00:40:48Is there a problem?
00:40:50None of your business.
00:40:51The 4K dash cam in my car is recording.
00:40:54Extortion.
00:40:55Three to five years.
00:40:57The man and woman exchanged a glance, then turned and ran.
00:41:02You okay?
00:41:05You saved me.
00:41:06Just doing my job.
00:41:08Isn't your job supposed to be in an office?
00:41:10Tonight's different.
00:41:12I'm heading to the Waldorf, too.
00:41:14Can I get a ride?
00:41:17Get in.
00:41:18I got into his car.
00:41:19I would be at the Waldorf that night.
00:41:21Not for Clive.
00:41:22For myself.
00:41:23I told Jerome I had to get to the Waldorf by 8.
00:41:26My life depended on it.
00:41:28Life or death in a ball gown?
00:41:30Please, just drive.
00:41:32Don't ask.
00:41:33Fine.
00:41:34Buckle up.
00:41:37I noticed a scratch on the back of my hand, still bleeding.
00:41:42Damn.
00:41:43When did I get this?
00:41:45There's a first aid kit in the glove box.
00:41:47Take care of it yourself.
00:41:49I opened the glove box, pulled out the kit, cleaned the wound myself, and put on a band-aid.
00:41:55I used to want to be a war correspondent.
00:41:57That's why I always carry one of those.
00:41:59What happened?
00:42:00I realized arguing cases in a courtroom is a lot safer than hiding in a trench.
00:42:08Jerome dropped me at the side entrance.
00:42:10I rushed through the lobby and up to the fourth floor, room 404.
00:42:15It was two minutes to eight.
00:42:17I knocked.
00:42:19The door opened.
00:42:20But the person standing there wasn't Galen Webb.
00:42:23Hello, Analia.
00:42:26Looking for someone?
00:42:27What are you doing here?
00:42:28Where's Galen?
00:42:30Something came up.
00:42:31He asked me to meet you in his place.
00:42:33I don't believe you.
00:42:35Move aside.
00:42:36I'm going in.
00:42:38Oh, Galen is in the shower.
00:42:40You are lying.
00:42:41I don't care why you're here to see Galen.
00:42:45You aren't seeing him today.
00:42:47And I suggest you don't mess with my work.
00:42:49I own a large stake in this agency.
00:42:52You're scared.
00:42:55Scared?
00:42:58You are nothing.
00:42:59No one cares about you.
00:43:01Angelina flicked her wrist.
00:43:02Red wine arced through the air.
00:43:04It splashed across the hem of my blue silk gown.
00:43:07Oops.
00:43:07Clumsy me.
00:43:08How are you going to go downstairs to the gala?
00:43:12You look like a murderer.
00:43:16She slammed the door.
00:43:17I stood in the hallway, smelling cheat Merlot.
00:43:20Clive urged me to come to the gala, but I didn't panic.
00:43:23I found a pair of scissors, grabbed the silk just above the red stain, and cut the dance floor.
00:43:29Clive was waiting for me.
00:43:31His eyes scanned the crowd.
00:43:33The doors were open.
00:43:34I stood at the top of the stairs.
00:43:35The blue dress clung to my body.
00:43:37The high slit revealed a long leg.
00:43:41You.
00:43:43Silence.
00:43:44Just smile.
00:43:45Angelina walked over.
00:43:46She was wearing a gold dress.
00:43:50Your dress?
00:43:51Oh, this?
00:43:52A clumsy waiter.
00:43:54I thought I liked the redesign better.
00:43:56Who did it?
00:43:58A bitch tried to ruin me?
00:44:00She failed.
00:44:02Clive's hand found my waist.
00:44:03That night, I looked at Angelina Stewart's face.
00:44:06For the first time, there was no fear.
00:44:08There was only pity.
00:44:09The corridor.
00:44:10Jerome leaned against a pillar.
00:44:12Nice dress hack.
00:44:13You're a lawyer.
00:44:14You're a driver.
00:44:15And now you're a fashion critic?
00:44:17I'm a man of many talents.
00:44:21Jerome, don't talk to her.
00:44:24Do you actually like a woman as flashy and flickle as her?
00:44:27She has more class in her little finger than you have in your entire trust fund.
00:44:33Jerome!
00:44:35Clive stormed out of the VIP lounge.
00:44:37He saw us.
00:44:38Jerome was standing close to me.
00:44:40Too close.
00:44:41Clive, Jerome has been seduced by Analia.
00:44:44He needs to come to his senses.
00:44:46Stay away from her.
00:44:47You're my lawyer, not her boyfriend.
00:44:50I'm her friend, which is something you seem incapable of being.
00:44:57Clive dragged me into the lounge and locked the door.
00:45:00Is it him?
00:45:01The man in those late night photos of you?
00:45:03Was it Jerome?
00:45:04You're crazy.
00:45:06I'm your husband!
00:45:09He leaned in to kiss me.
00:45:13I slapped him.
00:45:15Don't forget our agreement.
00:45:17Right now, you are just my husband in name only.
00:45:21Outside the Walden.
00:45:23I ran for a taxi.
00:45:25Jerome falling.
00:45:29Get in.
00:45:32Where to?
00:45:35Anywhere.
00:45:36Just drive.
00:45:37We drove.
00:45:38In silence.
00:45:41I didn't know how long.
00:45:43I am not Mrs. Wilson anymore.
00:45:45Oh?
00:45:48I'm done.
00:45:50I'm done.
00:45:51I'm done being good.
00:45:51I looked at his profile.
00:45:53The streetlight striped his face.
00:45:55From now on, I will take what I want.
00:46:00I returned to the apartment, when suddenly, Gayden called.
00:46:07Starfall?
00:46:07This is Gayden Webb.
00:46:10Mr. Webb?
00:46:11Angelina said you wouldn't see me tonight.
00:46:13She lied to you.
00:46:15I was going to meet you in person.
00:46:16Long story short, I have a big project.
00:46:19Voidwalker.
00:46:20The lead voice role.
00:46:22I want to recommend you for the audition.
00:46:24Voidwalker?
00:46:26That big budget game?
00:46:28Yes.
00:46:29One of the biggest projects in the industry this year.
00:46:31Your voice is perfect for the lead role.
00:46:34I'll recommend you to the producers.
00:46:36But Angelina said she owned a large stake in the agency.
00:46:39She does have shares.
00:46:40But casting isn't her decision alone.
00:46:42You have talent, Starfall.
00:46:44Don't let her scare you off.
00:46:48Look at this.
00:46:49You need to get mad.
00:46:50Breaking news.
00:46:51Angelina Satuarto was the frontrunner for the lead role in Voidwalker.
00:46:54Clive was funding her campaign.
00:46:56She just won't go away.
00:46:58She wants to take everything from you.
00:47:01I can't just keep reacting.
00:47:03I'm going on offense.
00:47:05I'm going to record.
00:47:07I need money.
00:47:08I need money.
00:47:09Real money.
00:47:10Angelina asked to meet at a private club in Soho.
00:47:14Dim lighting.
00:47:15Dark leather.
00:47:16Gold mirrors.
00:47:20The ex-Mrs. Wilson.
00:47:23Or is it current?
00:47:24Clive's paperwork is so hard to track.
00:47:26You said you could help my mother.
00:47:28Get to the point.
00:47:31$50,000.
00:47:32Sign the divorce papers.
00:47:34Leave New York.
00:47:35$50,000?
00:47:36I thought Clive is worth billions.
00:47:39You're selling him cheap.
00:47:40It's more than you're worth.
00:47:43I picked up the check.
00:47:45Tore it in half.
00:47:46Then into quarters.
00:47:47And dropped the pieces into Angelina's champagne flute.
00:47:50I don't want it.
00:47:51I warn you, Angelina.
00:47:53You're dragging out this divorce because you think you still have a chance with him, don't you?
00:48:03She opened a jewelry box on the table.
00:48:05This was the Wilson star that Clive gave me.
00:48:07The Wilson family heirloom.
00:48:09I stared at the necklace.
00:48:11This one was fake.
00:48:12Shiny.
00:48:13Expensive.
00:48:14But all fake.
00:48:16Shut your mouth!
00:48:19I turned and walked out.
00:48:22Angelina screamed behind me, calling me the fake, saying I was nothing.
00:48:27I pushed through the door, stepped onto the street, and leaned against the wall.
00:48:31My fingers were shaking, but I was smiling.
00:48:36My phone rang.
00:48:38It was Zoe.
00:48:41Nolan Vance just announced Angelina got the lead role Luna in Voidwalker.
00:48:46Angelina demanded no voice actor.
00:48:48She's playing it herself.
00:48:52Someone on the dark web forums made an offer.
00:48:5520% over market, but wants to meet in person.
00:48:59Who?
00:48:59Anonymous.
00:49:01Handle is Starcatcher.
00:49:03Starcatcher.
00:49:05Angelina wasn't trying to buy a bag.
00:49:07She was testing me.
00:49:09Could be someone Angelina sent.
00:49:11I didn't care if it was the devil himself.
00:49:13I would sell it.
00:49:16Are you sure?
00:49:17What if it's a trap?
00:49:19My mom's dialysis wasn't paid for the next month.
00:49:21I didn't have the luxury of choosing my buyers.
00:49:29The St. Regis Lobby.
00:49:313 o'clock.
00:49:36The St. Regis Lobby.
00:49:38Crystal chandeliers.
00:49:39Marble floors.
00:49:40The scent of gardenia in the air.
00:49:42I was holding the orange box.
00:49:44Looking like someone who walked onto the wrong set.
00:49:47A middle-aged Asian man approached.
00:49:49Around 50.
00:49:50Dressed in a dark grey suit.
00:49:52His face revealed nothing.
00:49:54You're the seller?
00:49:56You're Starcatcher?
00:49:57I'm here to inspect the goods.
00:50:00The price was agreed.
00:50:0120% over market.
00:50:03The buyer took an envelope from his briefcase and placed it on the table.
00:50:08125,000 cash.
00:50:12Who sent you?
00:50:14That doesn't matter.
00:50:17It really didn't matter.
00:50:19I would leave the city that night.
00:50:22The next day.
00:50:23Los Angeles.
00:50:24I walked into the recording studio.
00:50:26The microphone was a Newman U87.
00:50:29Standing there like an old friend.
00:50:34You ready?
00:50:39Yeah.
00:50:40Let's do this.
00:50:42Eris discovers her sister's betrayal.
00:50:45Action.
00:50:48I closed my eyes.
00:50:50Clive's face.
00:50:52The blank check.
00:50:53All those years of being called a trophy.
00:50:56You think taking my crown will break me?
00:51:00Push it a little more.
00:51:04I didn't inherit this kingdom.
00:51:08I built it from the bones.
00:51:11Of men like you.
00:51:13Let me in!
00:51:18Do you know who I am?
00:51:22Angelina burst in.
00:51:23She was making another scene.
00:51:25But this time, no one was helping her.
00:51:29Ignore that.
00:51:30Keep going.
00:51:31I am the fire.
00:51:33I am the abyss.
00:51:36I am the curse you're afraid to name.
00:51:45Cut.
00:51:47Perfect.
00:51:48Zoe's apartment.
00:51:49Eleven at night.
00:51:52I was sitting on the couch scrolling through my phone.
00:51:56Did you see it?
00:51:58What?
00:52:00That audio going viral?
00:52:02Someone is spreading rumors that Starfall was yelling at crew members on set.
00:52:08I clicked the link.
00:52:09I clicked the link.
00:52:10It was me yelling at the crew.
00:52:11You're useless.
00:52:12I told you to get me blue water.
00:52:16Are you deaf?
00:52:17That wasn't my voice.
00:52:19I know.
00:52:20But the internet doesn't.
00:52:26The comments were full of people trashing Starfall.
00:52:31I listened closely.
00:52:33The breathing rhythm was wrong.
00:52:35The S sounds had a metallic edge to them.
00:52:38This was AI generated.
00:52:40Angelina's team did this.
00:52:42You have to do something.
00:52:46Then let them hear.
00:52:48What the real Starfall sounds like.
00:52:53I opened my laptop and found the audio file.
00:52:58Eris' monologue.
00:52:59Recorded at Nolan Vance's studio.
00:53:02Uncut.
00:53:03What's the headline?
00:53:05Nothing.
00:53:07Just put the audio out there.
00:53:09What if people don't believe it?
00:53:12Let them listen for themselves.
00:53:15Real is real.
00:53:16Fake is fake.
00:53:21I hit send.
00:53:24The audio file shot into the internet.
00:53:2724 hours passed.
00:53:28The audio got 10 million views.
00:53:32Starfall was the talk of the town.
00:53:34Angelina's lawyers demanded I take it down.
00:53:36They said I didn't own the copyright.
00:53:39But Galen spoke for me.
00:53:41My lead actress does what she wants.
00:53:43But they were still negotiating.
00:53:46Angelina wouldn't back down.
00:53:48The recording was done.
00:53:50I was sitting alone on the studio steps.
00:53:52My phone buzzed in my pocket.
00:53:54A bank notification.
00:53:56$500,000 was deposited.
00:53:59Angelina paid up.
00:54:00She was giving up all claims on assets
00:54:03and agreed not to talk about me publicly.
00:54:05She was leaving.
00:54:06I looked out at the gray city.
00:54:08It was almost dark.
00:54:10I had won.
00:54:11But for some reason,
00:54:12I couldn't smile.
00:54:15My phone buzzed again.
00:54:17A text from Jerome.
00:54:19Clive found out you went to Los Angeles.
00:54:21To stop him from digging further
00:54:22and finding out you were Starfall,
00:54:23I just told him where you are.
00:54:24I stood up
00:54:27and walked over to open the door.
00:54:31I want to talk to you.
00:54:33I have an appointment to see my mom.
00:54:35I don't have time for this.
00:54:39I'll drive you.
00:54:40He followed me downstairs.
00:54:41I got in his car.
00:54:43Not because I wanted to.
00:54:45Because I couldn't afford a cab.
00:54:48My mom was doing her rehab exercises.
00:54:54You looked beautiful on TV.
00:54:57Mom, that wasn't me.
00:54:58It was you.
00:54:59I knew your voice.
00:55:04My phone buzzed.
00:55:05A text from Jerome.
00:55:07Clive has been pulling away from Angelina lately,
00:55:09but her lawyer just sent a demand letter.
00:55:13What did she want?
00:55:15The apartment, the car, cash, 20 million,
00:55:17or she would accuse him of having an affair while married.
00:55:21What did Clive say?
00:55:23He agreed.
00:55:24This time it really looked like he was going to end things with Angelina.
00:55:29I looked up.
00:55:32Clive was standing at the end of the hallway.
00:55:35He didn't come in.
00:55:36Clive wanted to cut ties with her and start over with me,
00:55:39but it was too late.
00:55:41None of that had anything to do with me anymore.
00:55:44Clive was still at the end of the hallway.
00:55:46He saw me looking and walked over.
00:55:49Jerome told you?
00:55:50Yes.
00:55:51You agreed?
00:55:53I agreed.
00:55:5420 million.
00:55:55A clean break.
00:55:56Then why were you telling me this?
00:55:59I wanted you to know it was over between her and me.
00:56:02Remember our agreement.
00:56:04One year from now, we get a divorce.
00:56:08You really don't care at all?
00:56:10No.
00:56:11There's nothing left between us but a contract.
00:56:14No, you still care about me.
00:56:16After all, you didn't marry me for my money.
00:56:18I wondered why he was suddenly saying this.
00:56:21He pulled out that diary.
00:56:23The one I kept after marrying him.
00:56:26Filled with all my true feelings.
00:56:29We'll talk about us later.
00:56:31First, come back to New York with me.
00:56:35Grandma, she doesn't have much time left.
00:56:37I flew back to New York and went straight to the hospital.
00:56:41Victoria was lying in bed.
00:56:42Her hands were cold, but she reached out and grabbed mine.
00:56:46Promise me you'll take care of him.
00:56:48I promise.
00:56:49Liar.
00:56:50But you were a good liar, so I believe you.
00:56:54That night, Victoria Wilson passed away.
00:56:57I stayed by her bedside.
00:56:59I was the last person she ever spoke to.
00:57:01The funeral was at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
00:57:04Clive stood in the front row in a black suit, like a statue.
00:57:07The service ended.
00:57:08The crowd dispersed.
00:57:10And Clive stood alone at the grave.
00:57:12The rain started to fall.
00:57:14Clive.
00:57:15What did she say at the end?
00:57:16She said she loved you.
00:57:18She never said that.
00:57:20She hated me.
00:57:21She said, take care of the boy.
00:57:23She loved you.
00:57:25I just said what she wanted to say.
00:57:27You always say the things other people are afraid to say.
00:57:29Someone has to.
00:57:31Clive cried.
00:57:32Tears mixed with the rain streaming down his face.
00:57:36I had never seen him cry before.
00:57:39I never thought she would leave.
00:57:41No one does.
00:57:43I reached out and took Clive's hand.
00:57:45We were not talking about those things that day.
00:57:48Then what do we talk about?
00:57:50Nothing.
00:57:51Just stand here.
00:57:53The morning after the funeral.
00:57:54The penthouse.
00:57:55I stood in the kitchen.
00:57:57Clive sat at the table.
00:57:58I've been thinking about Starfall.
00:58:03That voice.
00:58:05Oh?
00:58:09Why the sudden interest in her?
00:58:12I was looking for her.
00:58:13I wanted to sign her to voice the new AI assistant for Cortek.
00:58:17My heart stopped.
00:58:19He wanted to hire me.
00:58:22Then go find her.
00:58:24Good luck.
00:58:25She seems like a ghost.
00:58:27Comes and goes without a trace.
00:58:29I have good investigators.
00:58:32I would find her in 24 hours.
00:58:34Is that so?
00:58:36And what would you do when you found her?
00:58:39Sign her.
00:58:40Give her an offer she can't refuse.
00:58:42You didn't even know what she looked like.
00:58:46I don't need to know what she looks like.
00:58:48I only care about the voice.
00:58:53He left.
00:58:54I stood there.
00:58:56My heart still racing.
00:58:58Clive.
00:58:59You are such a fool.
00:59:01You can't even recognize your own wife's voice.
00:59:06Then again.
00:59:07You've never really cared about me.
00:59:09I went to the recording studio.
00:59:12Galen was already waiting for me.
00:59:14He was pacing by the window looking anxious.
00:59:18The investors were pushing back.
00:59:20They wanted Angelina back.
00:59:23They said Starvol was an unknown.
00:59:25A risk.
00:59:26I'm not backing down.
00:59:28I haven't come this far.
00:59:30To be scared off by them.
00:59:31Nobody's asking you to.
00:59:33I'm just warning you.
00:59:36They want you to prove yourself.
00:59:40How?
00:59:40Tonight.
00:59:41Downtown Manhattan.
00:59:43A live reading.
00:59:45Voice only.
00:59:47No visuals.
00:59:48I'll be there.
00:59:49Whatever they throw at me.
00:59:52I'll handle it.
00:59:53They didn't know it was you.
00:59:55Just Starfall.
00:59:57Keep it that way.
00:59:59That night.
01:00:00I would make them remember my voice.
01:00:03From then on.
01:00:04They wouldn't be able to forget it.
01:00:06I was there.
01:00:07The door was black.
01:00:09No sign at all.
01:00:10Whatever was inside.
01:00:11I was walking in.
01:00:14I knocked three times.
01:00:17Name?
01:00:19Starfall.
01:00:21The guard looked me up and down.
01:00:23Then pushed the door open.
01:00:26He let me in.
01:00:28It was tiny inside.
01:00:30Just twenty chairs.
01:00:32The investors were sitting in the front row.
01:00:35All expressionless.
01:00:40I could feel their eyes judging me.
01:00:43Begin.
01:00:44I walked to the microphone.
01:00:45Took a deep breath.
01:00:46And closed my eyes.
01:00:48They call me a monster.
01:00:49Because I refuse to die quietly.
01:00:52They say I'm crazy.
01:00:54Because I refuse to stay down after being knocked over.
01:00:57But you know what?
01:00:59Monsters don't cry.
01:01:01Monsters don't beg.
01:01:03Monsters just keep getting back up.
01:01:07Again and again.
01:01:09Until everyone else is beneath their feet.
01:01:13I opened my eyes.
01:01:16They were applauding.
01:01:18Standing up.
01:01:20No one spoke.
01:01:21Their eyes were filled with awe.
01:01:24I got back to the penthouse late.
01:01:27The building was dark and quiet.
01:01:31He was sitting in the living room.
01:01:33The lights were off.
01:01:34Only the city lights from the window outlined his silhouette.
01:01:37Where were you?
01:01:38A walk.
01:01:40This late?
01:01:41I couldn't sleep.
01:01:45I walked to the window.
01:01:47And looked out at the city.
01:01:48Twenty floors up.
01:01:49A million lights.
01:01:51Not one of them was mine.
01:01:52Grandma was gone.
01:01:54Now, is the agreement still valid?
01:01:56You signed it.
01:01:57I didn't force you.
01:02:01I know.
01:02:03I turned to look at him.
01:02:05He looked ten years older.
01:02:06And for the first time, he looked like a normal person.
01:02:10One week later.
01:02:11The recording studio.
01:02:13I finished all my sessions for the Pantheon Saga.
01:02:16That's a wrap.
01:02:18Congratulations, Starfall.
01:02:21Applause filled the studio.
01:02:25Wrap party tonight.
01:02:27You have to come.
01:02:29I can't.
01:02:31I don't belong at those events.
01:02:33You have to.
01:02:35The investors want to meet you.
01:02:37They were funding the next project.
01:02:39And they specifically asked to see Starfall in person.
01:02:44Do they know who I am?
01:02:46No.
01:02:47They only know Starfall.
01:02:49Just keep it that way.
01:02:50The party was at a hotel downtown.
01:02:56I went in a simple black dress, wearing a half-face makeup mask.
01:03:04I walked into the ballroom and saw the investors chatting with their drinks.
01:03:16Relax.
01:03:17Don't be nervous.
01:03:18They just want to hear your voice.
01:03:20I know.
01:03:22But I'm not going to speak tonight.
01:03:24Why?
01:03:26Let them wait.
01:03:28Let them wonder.
01:03:32Tomorrow, when my voice comes out of the speakers,
01:03:36they will remember that moment forever.
01:03:39I was at the party, standing in a corner,
01:03:42holding a glass of champagne but not drinking a drop.
01:03:47You're not drinking?
01:03:52What are you doing here?
01:03:53I didn't think you'd come to this kind of event.
01:03:56I am one of the investors.
01:03:57I put money in.
01:04:00You knew?
01:04:01You knew Starfought was me?
01:04:04I had always known, Analia,
01:04:06from that moment on the hospital rooftop,
01:04:09when you grabbed my wrist,
01:04:11I knew.
01:04:12You never told me.
01:04:13Because you wanted to come out on your own.
01:04:15I didn't want to take that moment away from you.
01:04:17He reached out and gently placed his hand on mine.
01:04:20Warm, steady, not like Klein's possessiveness,
01:04:23just a quiet presence.
01:04:24You deserve better, Analia.
01:04:26Someone better than Clive.
01:04:29I knew.
01:04:31Better than anyone.
01:04:32Then why are you still with him?
01:04:35You are free.
01:04:36You can leave.
01:04:38I didn't answer,
01:04:39because I didn't know the answer either.
01:04:42Maybe it was because the money wasn't ready yet.
01:04:45Maybe it was the fear of the unknown.
01:04:47I'll wait for you,
01:04:49no matter how long.
01:04:52Don't wait for me.
01:04:54I wasn't worth waiting for.
01:04:57That's for me to decide.
01:04:59After the party,
01:05:01Jerome drove me home,
01:05:02outside the penthouse.
01:05:04He stopped the car.
01:05:10I have a proposal.
01:05:13What?
01:05:14Leave, Clive.
01:05:17Be with me.
01:05:20What are you saying?
01:05:22Do you even know what you're saying?
01:05:24Of course I know.
01:05:25I'm saying I love you.
01:05:28From the day you sang.
01:05:30All those years ago.
01:05:31I looked at him.
01:05:32Sincere.
01:05:33Gentle.
01:05:34He was not Clive.
01:05:35That was the point.
01:05:36He was not Clive.
01:05:37I nodded.
01:05:38Give me some time.
01:05:39I can't make a decision right away.
01:05:41I'll wait.
01:05:42No matter how long.
01:05:43He kissed my forehead.
01:05:45Not my lips.
01:05:46The kiss was light,
01:05:47like a feather landing on skin.
01:05:49In that moment,
01:05:50I was sure he was someone special.
01:05:52The penthouse.
01:05:54I went back to my room.
01:05:55My heart still racing.
01:05:58My phone buzzed on the nightstand.
01:06:01A text from Clive.
01:06:03My blood ran cold.
01:06:04No way.
01:06:06How could he possibly know?
01:06:08What do you mean?
01:06:11I didn't deny it.
01:06:15My phone buzzed again.
01:06:17This time,
01:06:18he was calling.
01:06:20I had an audio comparison done.
01:06:22Your voice,
01:06:23the way you breathe,
01:06:24even the pauses when you catch your breath,
01:06:26they all matched.
01:06:27It's you.
01:06:28The next morning,
01:06:29I went to the Wilson Group building.
01:06:30When I walked into Clive's office,
01:06:32he was sitting behind his desk.
01:06:34He looked different.
01:06:35Not angry.
01:06:36Calculating.
01:06:39Sit.
01:06:39I'll stand.
01:06:40I don't want to spend a second longer here than I have to.
01:06:44You are Starfall.
01:06:45My wife is Starfall.
01:06:47You are the voice that destroyed Angelina's career.
01:06:50Angelina destroyed herself.
01:06:51I just broadcast the truth.
01:06:53If the truth can ruin someone,
01:06:55the fault isn't with the truth.
01:06:57It's with her.
01:06:58Did you know what kind of conflict of interest you put me in?
01:07:02My wife was a talent signed to my competitor's agency.
01:07:07That was your problem,
01:07:09not mine.
01:07:09You should have thought about that before signing the agreement.
01:07:13You are my wife.
01:07:14You signed a non-disclosure agreement.
01:07:16You had been taking jobs behind my back.
01:07:18That was about our marriage,
01:07:20not about my career.
01:07:21There was not a single word in that agreement
01:07:23about me not being allowed to work.
01:07:25You were exploiting a loophole.
01:07:27You had been lying to me all this time.
01:07:29I lied to you?
01:07:31When you were with Angelina behind my back,
01:07:34did you ever think about how I felt?
01:07:36We'll talk about us later.
01:07:38But right now,
01:07:39I need you to cooperate with me.
01:07:42Cooperate with what?
01:07:43You'll find out tomorrow.
01:07:45The next night,
01:07:46Clive called me to the study.
01:07:48Zoe's laptop was sitting on his desk.
01:07:50Close the door.
01:07:52Why is Zoe's laptop here?
01:07:54She was arrested.
01:07:55Your father filed the complaint.
01:07:56The charge is corporate espionage.
01:07:58What?
01:07:59Zoe is innocent.
01:08:00Clive picked up a small silver USB drive from the desk.
01:08:03I know.
01:08:04This USB drive contains Zoe's investigation about Angelina.
01:08:08Your father didn't arrest her because she committed a crime.
01:08:11He did it to get this.
01:08:12What do you want?
01:08:13I need that folder gone.
01:08:15Permanently.
01:08:17Also, I need your cooperation.
01:08:19Cooperate with what?
01:08:21Starfall.
01:08:21I want to sign you.
01:08:23Officially.
01:08:24And you have to attend next week's charity gala.
01:08:27Are you blackmailing me?
01:08:28I'm giving you a choice.
01:08:29If you delete the folder and cooperate with me,
01:08:32Zoe stays safe.
01:08:33I stared at the laptop on the desk.
01:08:35That folder contained the evidence of Angelina's smear campaign and fake pregnancy.
01:08:39Deal.
01:08:40Delete it.
01:08:41I'll attend the gala, but I won't sign your contract.
01:08:45You will.
01:08:46Sooner or later.
