01:07the anger in his eyes was unmistakable emily three years inside and you still haven't learned nobody's
01:12buying the performance something tore open in my chest my throat locked up and the air wouldn't come

03:43down onto the bed you lay another hand on me and my husband will find you i pushed back against
03:48him
03:48but he caught both my wrists and held me there stop lying to me i know you emily
03:55emily you're getting brave three years i waited and you come back wearing another man's ring
04:03i went still in his grip then he went still too his eyes had caught the pale marks on my
04:08wrist
04:08the ones that never quite faded he released me and stepped back a frantic knocking started at the
04:13bedroom door he's going to kill me it's all right lena it wasn't your fault if he hadn't hurt you
04:20you
04:20wouldn't have fought back it was an accident it's over i'm right here you're safe his low soothing
04:26voice carried back into the room my hands shook when i pushed my hair back i felt the cold damp
04:32on my
04:32cheeks i made it to the door and hammered my fists against it my hands went numb from pounding
04:37no one came i curled up in the corner and whispered his name damn it when are you going to
04:41find me
04:42i spent the whole night in that room the housekeeper didn't open the door until the next morning
04:47carter was downstairs working through the financial section the moment he saw me he started reeling off
04:52orders selena's craving your chicken soup go make some mason's milk needs to be at room temperature
04:59my shirts need pressing too the maids don't iron them as well as you do the words drove straight into
05:05my bones before i could even think my feet were already carrying me toward the kitchen my hand
05:10had closed around the apron before i caught myself i stormed back out shaking from head to foot you're
05:15holding me here against my will i'm calling the police emily what's the act this time i was about
05:24to fire back when my eyes caught on the paper damon's photo was on the front page he'd been at
05:28a charity
05:29gala the week before i jabbed my finger down at it my voice rising that's my husband if you don't
05:35believe me call him carter's eyes narrowed and he opened his mouth to speak emily is this some kind
05:43of joke everyone in manhattan knows damon vance doesn't have women in his life even his pets are
05:48male the quinn group is in the middle of a deal with the vance group not a single mention of
05:53a wife
05:53i bawled my fists and started to argue back then a sharp pain stabbed through my skull the old head
05:59injury flaring without warning but i can't worry about that right now not the dizziness not now
06:04the front door was unguarded emily where are you going something deep in me came apart i wrenched
06:12her hand off and shoved her away hard enough to make her stumble carter she hurt me emily
06:22have you lost your mind apologize to her now you hurt my mom i sank to the floor the tears
06:28came
06:29without me asking i pressed my palms to the floor and tried to steady myself swansom shoved me from
06:34behind i stumbled and caught myself against the wall my head wound has reopened please everything tilted
06:42the dizziness hit me all at once and i couldn't hold myself upright i tried to push myself up the
06:49room
06:49when i came to the sharp bite of disinfectant hit me me low voices nearby a skull fracture amnesia what
07:01is this supposed to mean mr quinn it's dispostiative amnesia a defense mechanism the brain triggers after
07:07severe trauma she's been living in a mansion how is that impossible she has lacerations on her scalp
07:14a hairline skull fracture and signs of repeated head trauma this is consistent with long-term
07:20physical abuse i'll get to the bottom of every bit of it but that head injury is severe if we
07:26don't
07:26operate immediately she may never wake up they were going to operate on my brain without asking me
07:31without my consent a few nurses came in something bitter was pressed between my lips
07:38please he leaned down and laid his palm over my eyes i went under when i opened my eyes again
07:47i was
07:47back at the quinn estate i was strapped into a reclining chair a cold metal headset had been
07:52clamped around my skull some kind of medical device for stimulating memory emily you're awake
07:59carter just told me about your little memory issue don't you worry we're going to help you remember
08:05the dull throb at the back of my skull pulsed like a second heartbeat and my heart broke all
08:10over again carter knelt down at my side his eyes bloodshot and kissed the tears off my face
08:16the doctor said this neurostimulation course should bring it all back once you remember my head shaking
08:22all over to the last one and about the treatment i ordered it for your sake i hope you understand
08:29that
08:29no i don't know you please do it carter rose and gave the order the device was activated
08:35a wave of pressure built behind my eyes inside my skull inside my chest
08:40my vision went white everything went dark and then the dam inside me gave way
08:45i remember eight years of agony so deep it had broken something inside me that would never heal
08:55the first time i ever saw carter i was working part-time as a singer at a bar he fell
09:00for me on
09:01site
09:04he bought out the entire venue he sent roses enough to line both sides of the street from
09:09the bar to my college dorm after that designer gift started piling up at my door he came around
09:16every day asking how i was what i needed i knew we lived in different worlds so i kept him
09:21at arm's
09:22length then my gambling addict father sold me to an underground auction house to settle his debts
09:31carter walked in alone he fought his way through every man in that room to reach me
09:40he fought his way through every man in that room to reach me
09:44he was battered and barely standing but he carried me out the whole way step by step
09:51emily you are everything to me if you die i die because of those words i became mrs quinn
10:00then carter's older brother adrian came back from abroad with selena on his arm from the scraps of
10:05conversation between carter and his friends i pieced together that she was carter's first love the one he
10:11had never been able to put behind him from that day on carter became someone else his whole focus
10:17shifted to her every gift he had ever bought me he gave to her she said she didn't want another
10:24woman
10:24in the role of the queen family's lady of the house so carter asked me for a divorce she wanted
10:29a child
10:30but she was terrified of the pain of childbirth
10:34so my son the child i had nearly died to bring into the world was handed over to her
10:39every time i tried to push back carter waved my dying mother's medical bills in my face
10:45to keep paying for my mother's care i became selena's stand-in i took every consequence that
10:51should have been hers i pushed back exactly once they stopped paying my mother's hospital bills
10:56her heart gave out i didn't even get to say goodbye something hollowed out inside me i tried to leave
11:02with my son carter stopped me he forced me to serve out selena's sentence in her place
11:11selena had killed adrian in a moment of desperation fighting back against a man who had beaten her for
11:16years and i was the one paying for it i can't go to prison what about mason that day i
11:27stood in the room
11:28ripping the hem of his jacket he held selena tight against him
11:42the first time i ever saw carter i was working part-time as a singer at a bar he fell
11:47for me on
11:48sight he bought out the entire venue he sent roses enough to line both sides of the street from the

14:24selena is too fragile his voice was as cold as deep winter she wouldn't survive in there you're strong
14:31you've always been strong when you get out we'll make it up to you from my first day inside the
14:37other inmates made clear i wasn't welcome i was an outsider a rich man's wife who had no business
14:44being there the harassment never stopped i was isolated cornered threatened sleep became something
14:50i had to steal in minutes at a time there were days i didn't think i'd make it to the
14:55next morning
14:57three years every single day i prayed for it to end the day i got out carter sent people to
15:04collect me
15:05i knew their faces they were the same people who had made those three years a living nightmare
15:10something inside me snapped just like that i threw myself out of the moving car
15:15another car clicked to me i went over the bridge railing into the river below i opened my eyes everything
15:21was sharp and clear now i looked at the two of them they weren't strangers anymore a hatred i'd buried
15:27deep flooded every nerve in my body carter pulled me into his arms and brushed the tears from my face
15:33baby do you remember now i remember and i'll never forgive you you killed my mother
15:48what's wrong with my wife carter hesitated his eyes on the vial he had just started to speak when the
15:54maid
15:54knocked probably about the partnership you go take care of it carter i've got emily the door clicked
16:06shut the sweetness on selena's face dropped away in an instant like a mask torn off she caught my chin
16:13in
16:13her hand her face pure venom you stupid little fool why'd you come back any woman who dares to take
16:19carter from me i destroy you should have stayed gone the instant she leaned in i drove my foot hard
16:26into
16:26her stomach the strap snapped i broke through the door downstairs damon stopped in his tracks as he was
16:34heading out he spun around at the sound of my voice his face going white
16:46he watched me burst through the door drenched in blood and then i went straight over the second floor
16:55get the doctor down here now carter reached me first he hauled me into his arms and rolled up the
17:04staircase the house physician came running with his bag and they closed in around me what did you do to
17:11my wife that was damon he grabbed carter by the collar and drove his fist into his face then he
17:17drew the
17:18knife in the belt and scooped me up off the floor the blade swept the room in a slow cold
17:22arc he spoke
17:24through his teeth anyone who lays another hand on my wife is dead mr vance the car is ready we'll
17:31take
17:31her to the hospital now his warmth closed around me familiar and safe i found the last of my strength
17:40and knotted my fingers in his shirt the tears finally broke free my throat locked up and i couldn't find
17:46the words you came i held on my hand shaking then the blood loss pulled me under the last thing
17:54i saw
17:54before the dark took me was the rage in damon's eyes and the tears running down his face he turned
18:01to
18:01carry me out carter planted himself in the doorway his face twisted his eyes red raw vance you don't get
18:08to march an army into my house and walk out with my wife our families have a partnership you can't
18:15do this
18:30carter
18:35have you lost your mind this is quinn property you dare a sharp fat cut her off before she could
18:41finish
18:41the sentence one of damon's men backhanded her across the face she screamed and dropped the broken
18:47glass on the floor opened her cheek and the blood came fast mason stood at the top of the spiral
18:53staircase
18:53watching it all screaming the nanny had her arms locked around him one hand pressed over his mouth
19:01demon glanced at the boy he went still for half a second then he looked away and she is my
19:08wife if she
19:09loses one more drop of blood because of you i will repay it a thousand fold those sharp unreadable eyes
19:15were burning now fury had swallowed them whole carter could do nothing but stand there seething
19:21as damon carried me away the quinn family was one of new york's elite but measured against the vances
19:26they were nothing he couldn't make sense of it how had someone like emily shaw plain unremarkable
19:33ended up tangled with damon vance carter pressed his hand against his shoulder the color in his
19:38face was getting worse ambulance please selena was already crying into her phone calling an ambulance
19:43carter my face am i going to scar carter pulled her against him and rubbed slow circles on her back
19:48his voice wasn't quite steady lena what if emily was telling the truth what if she really did marry
19:55damon vance the image of eye nestled against a man so far beyond her reach selena's jealousy nearly
20:00choked her that's impossible something like that we would have heard about it never damon must have
20:07been manipulated i don't believe for a second that a man like him would stay with her if he knew
20:12she'd
20:13done time or knew how sick she really is she's nothing she's garbage you threw out carter went very
20:20still he had never seen selena like this before the venom in her voice was sharp and ugly and it
20:25sent a
20:25chill through him but he'd lost too much blood to think straight he intended to bring his son with
20:30him he also intended to bring emily back the quinn family was one of new york's elite but measured
20:36against the vances they were nothing he couldn't make sense of it how had someone like emily shaw
20:41plain unremarkable ended up tangled with damon vance carter pressed his hand against his shoulder
20:47the color in his face was getting worse ambulance please selena was already crying into her phone
20:52calling an ambulance carter my face am i going to scar carter pulled her against him and rubbed slow
20:57circles on her back his voice wasn't quite steady lena what if emily was telling the truth what if
21:04she really did marry damon vance the image of eye nestled against a man so far beyond her reach selena's
21:09jealousy nearly choked her that's impossible something like that we would have heard about it
21:15never damon must have been manipulated i don't believe for a second that a man like him would
21:21stay with her if he knew she'd done time or knew how sick she really is she's nothing she's garbage
21:28you threw out carter went very still he had never seen selena like this before the venom in her voice
21:34was sharp and ugly and it sent a chill through him but he'd lost too much blood to think straight
21:38he intended to bring his son with him he also intended to bring emily back i'd lost too much
21:44blood they rushed me straight into the icu the memories kept surfacing one after another they were
21:50worse than i'd let myself remember in my most vulnerable moments carter had taken selena to see
21:55a fortune teller the fortune teller told them that my sickness carried a curse that as long as i recovered
22:02selena would be plagued with misfortune at first i'd laughed it off it was absurd that same night
22:08carter had me dragged to a clinic and strapped down they cut off my treatment they replaced my
22:13medication with something designed to make me worse i survived it then they came at me harder then again
22:20after that the pain hit me all at once and i couldn't breathe i jolted awake soaked in cold sweat
22:26baby
22:33you're finally awake
22:36david
22:39why did it take you so long do you have any idea how scared i was i swear to you
22:43i will make them pay for
22:44every single thing i'm here now emily no one is going to hurt you again they destroyed my body i'm
22:49here
22:49now emily no one is going to hurt you again i'd heard those words before the very first day i
22:56met him i'd fallen into the river he was nearby on a yacht hosting a lavish dinner he sent his
23:01people
23:01to pull me out and brought in the best medical team money could buy when i woke up my first
23:06thought was
23:06that the prison guards had caught me again i came apart i tried to end it more than once damon
23:11stayed
23:11with me through all of it telling me over and over that i was safe no one will ever hurt
23:15you again his
23:16voice was warm as sunlight the trauma took my memories with it what remained was all the time
23:21i'd spent with damon the day i was finally well enough to stand on my own he proposed he was
23:25afraid
23:26that another shock might trigger a relapse so we kept the marriage private we had planned to hold a
23:30proper wedding once i made a full recovery i hadn't expected carter to make me this sick again
23:36this time it was worse than before i told damon everything every detail of the two days i'd lost
23:43this is my fault i never should have left your side rest now emily i'll handle everything damon had
23:50been overseas closing a deal i didn't blame him his assistant told me that the moment damon heard i
23:56was missing he walked away from a contract worth millions without a second thought he'd cried the
24:01entire flight home but now that every memory of carter had come back to me ab couldn't stop the doubt
24:07from creeping in even toward damon would he really stay the same would he eventually betray me destroy me the
24:12way carter had my mind wouldn't quiet i closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep damon said nothing
24:18with hands that weren't quite steady he tucked the blanket carefully around me wait for me carter and
24:23selena were already waiting at the hospital entrance they tried to force their way in and were stopped
24:28by damon's men damon walked out rolling up his sleeve was burnt the moment he laid eyes on carter he
24:35swung
24:35without hesitating

27:26and pressed the burning hand against selena's face if you don't know how to use your mouth properly you
27:31shouldn't have one every bit of pain you made emily feel i'm giving back to you tenfold

28:17room
28:18damon showered before he came to see me when he walked in he smelled like the cedar cologne i loved
28:23his hands were drawn tight at his sides when he saw me he told me everything he'd done to carter
28:28and selena when he finished he watched my face carefully and waited without a word i smiled and
28:33took his hand damon let out a slow breath and pulled me against him the relief in his eyes was
28:40almost unbearable like a man who had just come back from the edge of losing everything emily i know what
28:48you've been through he gestured for someone to bring in a thick stack of documents this is a divorce
28:53agreement i've already signed it if i ever let you down you walk no arguments this is the asset
28:59transfer everything in my name moves to yours if we divorce i take nothing if we have children they
29:05stay with you something warm flooded through my chest i couldn't hold back anymore i kissed him pressing
29:12my lips to the rest of his promises before he could finish them you idiot i trust you there's
29:20one more thing i need to talk to you about he had mason brought in the boy was clearly frightened
29:25but the moment his eyes landed on me they filled with contempt you where did you hide my mom and
29:33dad
29:33give them back i had nearly died bringing him into the world hearing him speak to me like that broke
29:38something loose in my chest i held my breath my eyes blurred with a gentleness that hurt to look
29:43i know he's your son if you want him i'll raise him as my house i'll have a vasectomy he
29:47can be the
29:47vance heir no i don't want him after carter divorced me he handed mason to selena to make her happy
