TVTranscript
00:05Shall I withdraw the petition again, Mrs. Voss?
00:12Still sitting there?
00:15Take this as a lesson.
00:17Disobey me one more time and the petition stayed.
00:20This guy's a piece of work.
00:21How many times is it?
00:22Last time it was because she ordered the wrong wine at some gala.
00:25This time she wore the wrong dress to the Met Gala.
00:27Typical Upper East Side marriage.
00:29Tragic.
00:30Ashton Voss, the man I've loved for ten years.
00:33The man who's filed for divorce a hundred times in three years of marriage.
00:36The first hundred times I begged, I kneeled, I signed every withdrawal they slid across this table.
00:41Not this time, it's final.
00:55Whoa, thought somebody let their dog off-lash.
00:58Turns out it's my sister-in-law.
01:00My sister-in-law?
01:01Please.
01:02She's just Ashton's little lap dog.
01:05Ash, we heading to So House?
01:07Jade's there.
01:08Playing the victim again?
01:09You've used that a hundred times.
01:11Let's go.
01:12So House.
01:13Jade just flew in from Paris.
01:29Mr. Morrow, I'll do it.
01:31Fund my mother's research lab, and the day my divorce is final, I'll marry you.
01:35Done.
01:54I'll give her three days.
01:55Stella's gonna crawl back and beg Ash to withdraw the petition.
01:58Three days?
01:59I give it one.
02:00Everyone in our circle knows that girl's lost all dignity over him.
02:04Stella, everyone says you've loved me like crazy for ten years.
02:07Then why did you leave me behind to save a stranger in that fire seven years ago?
02:13My bet.
02:14Three hours.
02:15These past three years have been both punishment and a test.
02:19Just kneel and beg me one more time, and I'll believe you.
02:22After that, I'll make it up to you.
02:24I swear.
02:30Ash, your marriage was never public anyway.
02:33Why not just get divorced?
02:35Come on, Ash.
02:36Jade's the hottest ick girl on IG right now.
02:37She's a thousand times better than a deaf sister.
02:44Three hours.
02:45Told you so.
02:46Here to beg for my forgiveness?
02:48That's my locket.
02:49Why are you wearing it?
02:50I stopped by your place yesterday and said I liked it.
02:53Ash put it on me himself.
02:54Who gave you the right to give away my things?
02:57Jealous already?
02:58How predictable.
03:00That locket is the only thing my mother left me!
03:03Your mom's been dead for what, seven years?
03:05It's just a locket.
03:06I'll have Harry Road make you a new one.
03:07And it'll be worth a lot more.
03:09Ash, she's not actually going to divorce you over a locket, is she?
03:14Divorce?
03:15She wouldn't dare.
03:18Stella.
03:20Down this glass.
03:21And I'll give you the locket back.
03:25Are you insane?
03:26She's severely allergic to alcohol.
03:28This could kill her!
03:29Drink!
03:30Drink!
03:31All this drama over a locket?
03:34Embarrassing.
03:35Drink it.
03:35Ashton!
03:36Do you really enjoy torturing her?
03:38You're going to kill her!
03:39Ashton, I loved you so much.
03:41And you treated my love like a toy.
03:45Won't drink?
03:45Fine.
03:46I'll help.
03:48Ashton.
03:49I thought you just stopped loving me.
03:51Today I finally understand.
03:53All this time, you've been wanting me dead.
04:00Stella!
04:01Stay with me!
04:02Someone call 911!
04:06The locket.
04:08You'll give it back now, right?
04:10It's just a damn locket.
04:13Crawl over.
04:14Then it's yours.
04:23I'll help myself get back again.
04:26Oh no!
04:27Stella, you couldn't even catch a locket?
04:30You monster!
04:31Give me back my mother's locket!
04:33How is any of this Jadie's fault?
04:34I'll have Calloway withdraw the petition tomorrow.
04:36Now get the hell home and stop making a fool of yourself.
04:39Get out.
04:40Get out.
04:58Dad!
04:59How could you?
05:00How can you do this to Mom?
05:01To me?
05:02Blame your mom, Stella.
05:04Always at her lab.
05:05Probably has someone in there.
05:06That's why she never comes home.
05:07Don't you ever talk about my mother that way!
05:11Seven years ago, my father slapped me deaf in one ear.
05:14That's why I didn't hear you calling from the fire.
05:17I saved someone else first, then went back for you,
05:20and passed out before anyone saw.
05:22Jade took the credit.
05:24I tried to explain it a thousand times.
05:27You never believed me.
05:29Now that you're just like my father,
05:31only ever loving Jade,
05:33then this marriage, and you...
05:37I'm done with all of it.
05:50Yeah, I'm out of the hospital, Tara. Don't worry, I'll be fine.
05:58The new hearing aid cleared out my savings.
06:00I need to make more. Fast.
06:20Client's here. Voss Jewelry. They brought their face for the fall campaign.
06:34That's the Voss heir, bringing his girlfriend in for the campaign shoot.
06:37Major client. Pull this off, you take home five grand.
06:48Forget it. Just take the money.
06:50I'm walking away in 30 days.
06:52Don't make this harder.
06:57Stella. A photography gig.
06:59What's so important about it? Important enough to defy me?
07:07Do you even know what you're doing?
07:09That strobe is blinding me!
07:12Some random hack shooting me?
07:15This is beneath my brand.
07:17Second rate photographer?
07:18Yeah, embarrassing.
07:19We'll get someone else.
07:20I knew it. Ash always takes care of me.
07:33No. If she finds out I care about her, I'll lose all leverage.
07:55Ash. She's your wife, but you saved me instead. She's going to wake up furious.
08:01Hairline fracture. Good. At least she won't be running off for a while. But why isn't she waking up?
08:11It's my fault. I shouldn't have worn those heels.
08:22You pulled me out of that fire seven years ago. So if it happened a hundred times over, I'd still
08:27save you first. Every time.
08:30Ash. You're so good to me.
08:34Stella?
08:36Watching the person you love most stand by while you almost die. What does it feel like? Familiar?
08:42I'll be here?
08:42No.
08:49No!
08:51No!
09:00No!
09:01I'm here!
09:03Over here!
09:04No!
09:07No!
09:08No!
09:09No!
09:15And then you lied.
09:17Told me your father slapped you deaf, that's why you didn't hear me.
09:22But Jade showed me the hospital records.
09:24Your hearing damage came from injuries you got saving that guy.
09:29Go ahead. Do it. Like always.
09:32Kneel. Beg. Tell me I'm the only one.
09:35Tell me you can't live without me.
09:37Beg me to call off the lawyers.
09:43Beg me to call off the lawyers.
09:43Garbage. Both of you, get the fuck out.
09:50My face! Am I going to be disfigured?
09:53I'm an influencer! My face is everything!
09:57Stella, you're so jealous.
09:59You see me being good to her and you'd actually disfigure her?
10:02How did you become this vindictive?
10:08If Jade ends up with even the slightest scar, you can forget about Calahad ever withdrawing that divorce petition.
10:13Not in this lifetime.
10:21You're actually going through with this?
10:23Marrying some stranger you've never met?
10:25All these years, he's the only one who reached out about Mom's lab, willing to take over the funding.
10:30The number he offered, it's enormous.
10:33It's everything Mom worked for.
10:35And you're not afraid he's some bald, creepy, 60-year-old pervert?
10:40Mom's project is early cancer detection.
10:42Pure non-profit.
10:43How bad can someone investing in that be?
10:46If only she hadn't rushed back that day to save me.
10:49Stella, that wasn't your fault.
10:51Diana sent her that photo of you in the fire on purpose.
10:57Your mom was speeding for you.
10:59That's what caused the crash.
11:04That night, you lost your hearing, your mom, and your home.
11:09And then that asshole Ashton on top of it all.
11:12Honestly, if it were me, I'd have stabbed him by now.
11:15Hey, no more tears.
11:18Listen, even if the whole world turns on you, I've got your back.
11:25Tara, thank you.
11:34Hello?
11:35Ten days from now is Jade's birthday gala.
11:38The Vos family will be there.
11:39You're attending.
11:40That's an order.
11:41Don't make me repeat myself.
11:43Don't go.
11:45Fine.
11:46I'll come.
11:49But on one condition.
11:58Don't go.
12:21Dressed up like that, who are you trying to seduce?
12:27Here's what you wanted tonight.
12:28You behave.
12:29Honey, you know how much that means to her.
12:31Why give it back?
12:32Rather broken down lab her mother left behind, it's worthless.
12:36Half the Forbes list is here tonight because of the Voss name.
12:39She has to appear, otherwise people will say I mistreated my own daughter.
12:44Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Voss has prepared birthday gifts for Miss Jade Hart.
12:48Please join us as we present them.
12:51First, a custom Kajmi Sapphire necklace by Voss Jewelry, 18 para center stone.
12:59Second, an oceanfront estate in East Hampton.
13:02Third, a rare Cartier antique brooch set, original 1923 collection.
13:07Fourth, a 144-foot Kaizen yacht already blocked the Newport.
13:11Wishing Miss Jade Hart a very happy birthday and the brightest future.
13:15third, a few years later.
13:17Oh, Jesus, each of these is eight figures minimum.
13:21Ashton must be crazy about Jade Hart to spend like this.
13:24But I heard Ashton and Stella Hart were childhood sweethearts.
13:27They've been secretly married for years.
13:28No way. Look at how he treats Jade.
13:30Stella's basically the cautionary tale of the Upper East Side.
13:36Just kneel and beg me, and you'll get ten times more than her.
13:55Mom, don't worry. I'll make sure your lab sees the light, I promise.
14:01What's the point of getting that pathetic project back?
14:05Your mom lost to mine. You'll lose to me too.
14:09Losers run in your family.
14:21Are you out of your mind?
14:29Sis, why did you hit me?
14:54You're still hung up on this dead-end lab?
14:59None of your business. Give it back.
15:02None of my business? Then who's? The stranger you saved that night?
15:06It's not her fault, Ash. I shouldn't have accepted your gifts. That is what set her off.
15:12Stella, you little bitch! Did your dead mother forget to teach you manners? It's Jade's birthday! How dare you struck
15:18her!
15:18I didn't hit her. I didn't hit her. But...
15:23Now I have.
15:27And you, my own aunt.
15:30I lost my mother because you crawled into her husband's bed.
15:34What? I thought they got together after Katherine Hart passed? Richard cheated with his sister-in-law?
15:39Jesus! A mistress is bad enough, but her own sister? That's disgusting!
15:44You ungrateful little disgrace!
15:47No. If she sees I care, I lose my grip on her.
15:52What? Going to slap me deaf again like you did seven years ago?
15:56Wait. Stella Hart's deafness wasn't from the fire? Her own father did that to her?
16:02Cheating with his wife's sister and deafening his own daughter? Who's ever going to do business with Hart Industries again?
16:08Lies! A simple slap doesn't dent for a person. You came here specifically to drag the Hart name through the
16:13mud!
16:14Disgrace? Cheating with your wife's sister isn't a disgrace? Making the phone call that killed your own sister isn't a
16:21disgrace?
16:21Throwing yourself at your own sister's husband isn't a disgrace?
16:27But me, a woman whose mother died, whose father never cared about her, whose husband never loved her, I get
16:35bullied and the moment I strike back, I'm a disgrace to the Hart name?
16:41What? Ashton is Stella's husband?
16:43Guess the sister-stealing thing runs in the family.
16:46Out! Get out! The Hart family disowns you! Out!
16:52You think I want to be your daughter? From this moment on, I, Stella Hart, am no longer part of
16:57this family.
16:58Out!
17:19The 101st time and she's still this excited over me withdrawing the divorce petition. Look at her.
17:24All dressed up, maybe I should start treating her a little better.
17:32You bring everything?
17:34Where's my mother's research file?
17:43No, she can't see I care. The last time, she has to be the one who begs.
17:56About what we've decided.
18:00Ash! Everyone online is tearing me apart. I can't take it anymore. I'm on the rooftop right now.
18:06What? Jade, don't do anything stupid. I'm on my way.
18:09Emergency. Handle it yourself. Whatever she decides, I'll honor it.
18:17Same as always? Withdrawing the divorce petition?
18:26No. This time, I want the divorce.
18:37Breaking. Influencer J.D. Hart attempted to take her own life after relentless online harassment.
18:42She was saved at the last moment by her boyfriend. The footage of the two embracing has gone viral.
18:48Ash and I love each other. In love, the one who isn't loved back is the real outsider. The real
18:54outsider?
18:56When someone really decides to leave, there's no fighting. No screaming.
19:11Stella, I got you a new dress. Try it on.
19:14Badness in your eyes. Clever trick.
19:22She'll choose a quiet, ordinary morning.
19:25I never want to see you unhappy.
19:32I thought you were the same for me.
19:37Stella, we're like these two mugs. Never apart.
19:42And quietly pack up what belongs to her, piece by piece.
19:57Stella, you're my star.
20:01When we have a little girl, we'll name her Stellina.
20:05And when she grows up, we'll tell her how much her daddy loved her mommy, and that's how she came.
20:10And then, quietly, leave.
20:20And never come back. Not once.
20:25The End
20:49Ashton! Stay with me! Stay with me!
21:09Stay with me!
21:20Stella...
21:24There's no way Stella saved me. I just subconsciously wanted it to be her that night.
21:30That's why I'm dreaming this. That has to be it.
21:34Why? Why is he calling her name in his sleep? No! I cannot let him crawl back to that bitch!
21:40Ash, every time I close my eyes, all I hear are the hate comments. It's killing me. Can you take
21:47me away somewhere? Just a couple of days? Please?
21:51Stella just pulled the petition. Let her stew for a few days. Make her sweat.
22:09Why isn't she replying? One second of silence used to send her into a panic now. Hours of nothing?
22:26Ashton, goodbye. We won't meet again. Ever.
22:40Three days, Stella. Why aren't you crawling back yet? What game are you playing this time?
22:47Ash, look at this necklace. It's gorgeous.
22:53That one. Wrap it up. Run my card.
23:15Ash, you're literally the best.
23:17Ash, you're literally the best.
23:30Stella, I'm waiting for you to come beg.
23:39Five days, the first hundred times you came crawling back. Every single time.
23:44Why is this time so different? Is this some reverse psychology thing to get my attention?
23:55He's thinking about that bitch again.
24:00Good thing I came prepared.
24:02Oh my god! Is that Stella? How could she do that?
24:09Ash, don't get upset. That probably isn't even Stella, just someone who looks like her.
24:15Stella, well done. Hiring some random guy to mess with my head, I've clearly been way too lenient with you.
24:22Are you fucking kidding me? He can rationalize even this away?
24:28Intimate pictures? Anyone can take those.
24:33Stella, I've been handing you lifelines this whole time, and you don't even know how good you have it.
24:42Want to play games? I'll have you on your knees.
24:52It's so touching. They love each other so much. Why do they have to hurt each other like this?
24:56Seven days, Stella. Why haven't you come back to me yet?
25:02Stella, figured out what position you're gonna beg me in?
25:04Sir, this is Equinox Fitness. We're offering-
25:14We're sorry. The number you have dialed has been disconnected.
25:18Ow! Ash!
25:20Home. Now.
25:24Ash, the movie's not over yet.
25:37Ash, wait up!
25:39Ahem.
25:40Stella, you must be losing your mind that I'm finally back. If you behave, I might consider forgiving.
25:53Ash, do you think she saw me come back with you and ran off in a huff?
25:58Stella! Get out here now!
26:04Impossible. She has no money of her own. Where could she even go without me?
26:11Reverse psychology. Predictable.
26:24Emergency. Handle it yourself. Whatever she decides, I'll honor it.
26:33The number you are trying to reach is either busy or turned off.
26:39How dare she! How dare she!
26:49Ash, hug me!
26:55Ash, I'm like these little succulents. Easy to keep alive. So don't you dare leave me.
27:03From now on, every photo I take, you'll be the first to see it.
27:16Ash!
27:17Ash!
27:17Ash, what's wrong?
27:25Ash, you actually went through with it.
27:28Ash, you actually went through with it.
27:37like to be betrayed by the one you love. I never, never actually wanted to divorce her.
27:46Ash, listen. Stella loves you to death. There's no way she's actually divorcing you.
27:51This is just her way of getting leverage over you.
28:00Stella, you're too soft. That's why Ashton walks all over you. I have a plan,
28:04guaranteed to make him crawl back first.
28:06What plan? Use this divorce as a setup. Forge a fake divorce decree, find some hot guy to play
28:11boyfriend, get nice and cozy with him in public. Ashton will be crawling back to you in a week.
28:15One of my followers caught this by accident because of the harassment thing he knew about
28:20my relationship with Stella, so he sent it to me. Good thing I had that deepfake made in advance.
28:26Stella, not only do you feel no guilt for what happened seven years ago,
28:30now you want me to be the one who crawls back first? Dream on.
28:34Ash, do you want to make her come back fast?
28:37You have a plan?
28:38Get engaged.
28:39To me.
28:40Stella, you're madly in love with me, aren't you? Then I'll let you taste what it feels like to lose
28:44me.
28:47Marcus, contact every major outlet, PageSyn, TMZ, Vogue.
28:51Announce my engagement to J.D. Hart.
28:55Stella, I'll be waiting, just like the past three years,
28:59for you to come back on your knees.
29:25Gentlemen, where are your manners? Mrs. Moran is here.
29:28Welcome, Mrs. Moro.
29:35Tara was right. The mysterious benefactor funding Mom's lab really id some creepy bald old man.
29:43Sir, hello. I'm Stella Hart. I'm here to honor our agreement. Let's get married.
29:52Madam, oh dear. You've got the wrong person.
30:16Stella, welcome to the bay. I'm your fiancé, Ethan Moro.
30:23It's you?
30:30It's you?
30:34Ethan Moro!
30:36You really do remember me.
30:48Dr. Hart, thank you for the scholarship. It's the only way I get to finish my degree.
30:53Don't thank me. My daughter's the one who recommended you.
30:56Mom, who works three jobs and still tops every class.
30:58She said your grades and your character were both exceptional, exactly what our foundation looks for.
31:03You'd be incredible.
31:05Thanks. That means a lot.
31:08Just study hard. That's all the thanks I need.
31:10Now go. Don't be late for class.
31:13Hello.
31:14I'm sorry.
31:23You're welcome.
31:26Stella. This time, I finally earned the right to stand in front of you.
31:32He's funding Mom's project. Probably just paying back that old scholarship.
31:37Stella, let's go home.
31:52I can just take a guest room.
31:55You're the lady of this house.
31:57You take the master suite.
31:58Of course you do.
32:00I've stocked everything you'll need.
32:02Anything you don't like, tell me immediately and I'll fix it.
32:13Stella, let me show you around here.
32:22Okay.
32:25Stella, the clothes and jewelry just arrived.
32:28Come pick out whatever you like.
32:45Suits you perfectly.
32:46Guess I've got decent taste after all.
32:49Don't just stand there, pick whatever you like.
32:51They're all really nice.
32:53Then we'll keep all of it.
32:55Send it up to her suite.
32:56No, please, that's way too much.
33:01I know this is a bit rushed since you just arrived,
33:04but make do with these for now.
33:06We'll get you something much better for our wedding in a few days.
33:13I've memorized every preference of yours,
33:16but this, this is private.
33:18You choose these yourself.
33:20It's hot now and clothes are thin.
33:22Just like the plain ones.
33:24White's the most versatile, black works too.
33:26Didn't expect a CEO to be an expert on this.
33:32Did my homework this morning.
33:36Never looked into any of this before.
33:39From this day on, Stella is the lady of this house.
33:41Her every need comes first, always.
33:43Yes, sir.
33:44You've had a long flight.
33:45You must be tired.
33:46Go rest and I'll call you when dinner is ready.
33:49Okay.
33:52Stella, for the rest of my life,
33:54I'll walk beside you
33:55and I will never let you be hurt again.
33:57Not once.
34:14Come back!
34:15Stella, I'm telling you to come back!
34:35Go get me a glass of water!
34:55Stella, I didn't even hold it against you
34:57for leaving me in that fire.
34:59I still married you in the end
35:01and now you're jealous over some jade?
35:03You think hiding will make me come running?
35:05Dream on!
35:18Ash, she still hasn't come back.
35:19She's really gone too far this time.
35:21Clearly,
35:23my punishment hasn't been hard enough.
35:26Once the engagement news breaks,
35:28she'll come running back to beg you.
35:30Oh, Ash,
35:31where are we holding the engagement party?
35:42Ash,
35:44we've signed the marriage license already.
35:47When are we having the wedding?
35:49It's just a show for other people.
35:50What's the point?
35:52Besides,
35:53you want the whole Upper East Street
35:55to know the Vos heir married a deaf girl?
36:00If we ever do have a wedding someday,
36:02could it be at the Celestial Dome at Cipriani?
36:04It has this glass dome painted with the whole night sky,
36:07the whole hall fills with stars and galaxies.
36:09It's so romantic.
36:11Ugh, lost again.
36:12Great.
36:14Great.
36:15Just what I needed.
36:22Cipriani,
36:23the Celestial Dome.
36:27Stella,
36:28I'll get engaged at the one venue you dreamed of
36:30to the one person you despise most.
36:32Let's see if you can stay away.
36:34And when you show up,
36:35I'll have you on your knees,
36:36begging me.
36:41Mr. Vos,
36:43we found a lead on Mrs. Vos.
36:45Where?
36:56I only made a deepfake wake of you with a male model.
36:59I never dreamed you'd actually go find a real man.
37:02Stella,
37:03this time even fate is on my side.
37:06Honestly,
37:07first she hires a model to make you jealous,
37:09and now she's moved on to some random guy?
37:12Stella,
37:13you'd throw away every last shred of dignity
37:15just to force me to cave.
37:17Beyond the photos,
37:18we can't pin down her location.
37:19It's like someone deliberately scrubbed every trace of her.
37:21This whole act is designed to make me come looking for her.
37:25There's no way she's untraceable.
37:26It's strange.
37:27Ms. Tara Wells is Mrs. Vos' best friend,
37:29and she's been all over Mantout lately.
37:31You'd think Mrs. Vos would be in the city too,
37:33but there's no trace of her anywhere.
37:39They're inseparable.
37:41Of course they'd commit to the act fully.
37:44Let's go.
37:45Take me to Tara Wells.
37:49He knows every flavor I like,
37:51the perfume I always wear,
37:53practically every little preference I have,
37:55and he's endlessly good to me.
37:57He even had those prepared for me.
38:00I'm honestly embarrassed.
38:02Now do you believe me?
38:03Leaving that idiot Ashton
38:05was the single best decision of your life.
38:07Someone as wonderful as you
38:09deserves to be cherished.
38:11Oh,
38:12when's the wedding?
38:14Soon.
38:15He says he's giving me the grandest wedding
38:17at the Celestial Dome at Cipriani.
38:19Stella,
38:20at your wedding.
38:21I'm your family.
38:23You let me be the one to walk you down that aisle
38:25and hand you to him.
38:26Don't worry.
38:27It'll be you.
38:28There's no one else it could be.
38:30The Celestial Dome at Cipriani.
38:33The wedding.
38:34The wedding.
38:47Dumbass.
38:48Mr. Voss,
38:49what brings you to my humble little office?
38:52Were you just discussing a wedding with Stella?
38:55None of your damn business.
39:01This was your idea, wasn't it?
39:03Provoke me, force me to cave.
39:05You think this is funny?
39:07Let me make one thing clear, Tara.
39:10My patience runs out.
39:12Push this act too far
39:13and I really will be done with her.
39:16God, you're insufferable.
39:18Pass along a message.
39:20While I'm still willing to give her a way out,
39:22she'd better crawl back and beg on her knees
39:24and quit testing my limits
39:26with these cheap little stunts.
39:31You piece of garbage.
39:33Don't think being her friend means I won't touch you.
39:39Then try me.
39:41You say her love for you was fake,
39:42then let her go.
39:43So why did you trap her in a marriage
39:45and refuse to let go?
39:46You've held a grudge for years
39:47because she didn't save you first in that fire.
39:49But do you have any idea,
39:51right before that fire?
39:53Her father was cheating with her aunt.
39:55Her own dad slapped her death
39:57and her mother died in a car crash because of it.
39:59Do you have any idea what she was going through?
40:01She was already deaf before the fire?
40:04Why did she never tell me?
40:06Three years of marriage
40:07and you tortured her every way you could think of
40:10and she still adored you, still loves you.
40:12She said she owed it to you,
40:14but the way I see it,
40:15she doesn't owe you a goddamn thing.
40:17Shut your mouth!
40:19What, hit a nerve?
40:21Ashton, your whole life,
40:23name one thing you've ever done better than Stella.
40:26She won an international photography award at 18.
40:28You?
40:28You were busy bullying classmates
40:30with your little pack of trust fund losers.
40:32If she hadn't been quietly carrying you all these years,
40:35you think you'd be where you are now?
40:36And you used her love to torture her,
40:38to control her,
40:39just to feed your sick, twisted ego.
40:41Ashton Voss,
40:42you were never good enough for her.
40:44Security, get this trash out of my office.
40:53Stella,
40:54even your friends think they can humiliate me now!
40:57Freeze every contract between Voss and Wells.
41:00The day Stella comes back to beg me,
41:02Mr. Voss,
41:03that's when they're reinstated.
41:06Understood.
41:07Ash, who's stupid enough to set you off like this?
41:10We're going to the bay in seven days.
41:13Moving the engagement up.
41:15Are you serious?
41:17I'll give you an engagement no one will ever forget.
41:21Three years of marriage,
41:22and you tortured her every way you could think of,
41:25and she still adored you,
41:26still loved you.
41:27She said she owed it to you.
41:29But the way I see it,
41:31she doesn't owe you a goddamn thing.
41:33You love me more than anyone,
41:35don't you?
41:36If you don't come back soon,
41:37you'll lose me forever.
41:43Next week,
41:44you're all flying into the bay agare for my engagement to Jade.
41:51Ash,
41:52you're actually getting engaged to Jade?
41:53I guess Stella the little slimp is officially out of the picture.
41:57You guys don't get it.
41:58Everyone in our circle knows Stella's obsessed with Ash.
42:01And this time she actually defied him?
42:04She's got to be punished.
42:06This engagement,
42:07it's a warning shot.
42:12Stella,
42:13didn't you dream of a wedding under that starlit dome?
42:16This is the last olive branch I'm extending.
42:19Don't disappoint me.
42:20I'll livestream the whole thing.
42:23Let everyone watch her on her knees,
42:25crying,
42:26begging me to take her back.
42:28What if she's actually found someone else?
42:30With a face and body like hers,
42:31what man could resist?
42:33Impossible.
42:33I put her to the test 101 times in three years.
42:36She came crawling back,
42:37madly in love every single time.
42:39Damn right.
42:40If she actually leaves Ash for some other guy,
42:43I'll streak across the Golden Gate live on camera.
42:48The second Ash's engagement drops,
42:50Stella will be crying in some corner somewhere.
42:51Besides,
42:53leave Ash?
42:53Where's she gonna find a catch like him?
43:05Something on your mind?
43:11You're so good to me.
43:13So good that it makes me feel guilty.
43:17Why?
43:18I've been married before.
43:19I can't hear out of one ear.
43:20And I only agreed to be with you
43:22because Mom's lab needed funding.
43:25I just don't think I deserve you.
43:28Funny,
43:28the way I see it,
43:29I'm the one who doesn't deserve
43:30someone as good as you.
43:34Stella,
43:36I've been in love with you since college.
43:38You're the only woman I've ever wanted to marry.
43:44Getting to marry you is the greatest honor of my life.
43:49Mr. Voss,
43:50rest here a moment.
43:51I'll go park the car.
43:59I'll go park the car.
44:06Drinking this much,
44:07and you got yourself soaked through.
44:15Honestly,
44:16a grown man still acting like a child,
44:18you don't take care of yourself at all.
44:21Stella,
44:23please come back.
44:24I miss you so damn much.
44:33Mr. Voss,
44:34I'm so sorry.
44:35Our Celestial Dome has already been booked.
44:38Ash?
44:39I'll pay double.
44:40Mr. Voss,
44:41let me be honest.
44:42The Celestial Dome
44:43was reserved by the chairman
44:44of our group himself.
44:45It's no longer a question of money.
44:47We do have our second finest hall,
44:49the Jade Room.
44:50It happens to match your name, miss.
44:52Perhaps you'd consider it?
44:54We have to lock this engagement down fast
44:56before that bitch shows up
44:57and ruins everything.
44:58The Jade Room,
44:59it's literally named after me.
45:01It's perfect.
45:01Ash,
45:02let's take it.
45:04Mr. Morrow,
45:05the Celestial Dome
45:06has been arranged entirely
45:07to Mrs. Morrow's taste.
45:08Would you and the lady
45:09like to go up and see it?
45:11I appreciate it.
45:14If we ever do have a wedding someday,
45:17could it be at the Celestial Dome
45:19at Cipriani?
45:20It has this glass dome
45:21painted with the whole night sky,
45:23the whole hall fills with stars
45:25and galaxies.
45:26It's so romantic.
45:28It's just a show for other people.
45:30What's the point?
45:32Besides,
45:33you want the whole Upper East Street
45:34to know the Vos heir married a deaf girl?
45:40Stella,
45:40want to go up and take a look?
45:42Yes,
45:43sure.
45:54Stella,
45:55you heard I was getting engaged to Jade
45:57and finally couldn't sit still, huh?
45:59Sneaking over to dig for information,
46:01does that mean you're ready
46:02to get on your knees and beg?
46:05Stella,
46:05you've already come sniffing around,
46:07so why aren't you here begging me yet?
46:08If you don't show soon,
46:10I really will get engaged to Jade.
46:13There's another wedding here today?
46:14Yes, sir.
46:15There's a wedding in the Celestial Dome today as well.
46:18Quite a few noble families in attendance.
46:20Stella,
46:21I knew you'd come.
46:22Just get on your knees and beg me
46:24and I'll forgive you.
46:25I'll make you the most beautiful bride in the world.
46:28Ash,
46:28Ash,
46:29Stella the Simp actually showed up.
46:31I know.
46:32Want me to keep an eye on them?
46:33We can block them at the door,
46:35make them work for it.
46:36Do it.
46:36She needs to learn what it costs
46:37to give me attitude.
46:38I'll go have a word with Jade.
46:40And then, Stella,
46:42I'll make everyone see just how much you love me.
46:50Jade,
46:51that big film,
46:52you actually landed the lead?
46:55Obviously.
46:56I heard every A-lister in town
46:57was fighting for that role.
46:58There's no way it should have gone to you.
47:00You didn't sleep your way into it,
47:02did you?
47:02You said it yourself,
47:03A-listers.
47:04If I didn't sleep with the director,
47:05why on earth would the lead go to me?
47:07Do not let Ashton find out about this,
47:09or it's all over.
47:11Relax,
47:11he'd never let me go.
47:12After all,
47:13he still thinks I'm the one
47:14who pulled him out of that fire.
47:16The one who saved me that night
47:18wasn't her?
47:24The one who saved me that night
47:27wasn't her?
47:28You know,
47:29we actually owe that bitch Stella
47:30a thank you.
47:31Death in one ear,
47:32nearly died doing it.
47:33She's the one who dragged Ashton
47:34out of that fire,
47:35and she handed all the glory
47:36right to you.
47:37Good thing I'm clever.
47:39Saw them both passed out,
47:40dragged Stella way off to the side,
47:42laid myself down next to Ashton,
47:43and just like that,
47:44the credit was mine.
47:45The one who saved me
47:46was Stella.
47:48The funniest part?
47:49The man she nearly died to save
47:51didn't trust her for one second,
47:52and tortured her over it
47:54for three whole years.
47:55Honestly,
47:56the nerve of that girl
47:56putting up with all of it
47:57is shameless.
47:59Stella,
47:59I'm so sorry.
48:01If Jade hadn't deceived me,
48:02I would never have treated you that way.
48:03I'm going to make this right.
48:05Right now.
48:06Anyway,
48:07enough of that.
48:08Sweetheart,
48:08today's your big engagement day.
48:10Once you marry into that family,
48:12Mama gets to live the good life
48:13right alongside you.
48:15Mom,
48:16this engagement is fake.
48:18Fake?
48:19Sweetheart,
48:19I know you want into that family,
48:20but you can't gamble
48:21with your own future like this.
48:22Fake or not,
48:23once word gets out,
48:24everyone will see you
48:25as damaged goods.
48:26It's fake,
48:28but I can make it real.
48:30You have a plan?
48:31You make Stella disappear.
48:33Every media outlet
48:34live streaming today
48:35is on my payroll.
48:36As long as she doesn't show,
48:38I can turn this fake engagement
48:39into the real thing.
48:40Don't you worry, sweetheart.
48:42Mama won't let anyone
48:43stand in your way.
48:44Once I'm Mrs.
48:45Even if we divorce down the line,
48:47I walk away with
48:47half the boss fortune.
48:49This deal,
48:50can't lose.
48:58Jade,
48:59if it weren't for you,
49:00I never would have treated
49:00Stella that way,
49:01making me doubt her
49:02was bad enough.
49:03Now you're after my money, too.
49:05I'll make you regret this
49:06for the rest of your life.
49:08All these years,
49:09I was the one
49:10who got it wrong.
49:10I hurt Stella so deeply
49:12and never even realized it.
49:15But there's still time.
49:16It's not too late.
49:17It can't be.
49:19Stella loves me so much.
49:21I still have a chance
49:22to fix this.
49:23I'll deal with Jade
49:24right in front of her,
49:25settle the score,
49:26and she'll forgive me.
49:27She has to.
49:32Redo the entire ballroom
49:33right now.
49:33I'm giving Stella
49:34the most spectacular wedding
49:35anyone's ever seen.
49:36Mr. Voss,
49:37you mean...
49:38Mrs. Voss?
49:39I'll say it once more.
49:40Stella.
49:41And pull the security footage
49:43from the dressing room.
49:44Ash, are you insane?
49:45The invitations say
49:46you're getting engaged to Jade.
49:48You're not afraid
49:49of becoming a laughingstock?
49:50Yeah, Ash.
49:51Stella the simp
49:52already begged her way
49:53back into your good greases.
49:54How'd she do it this time
49:55to get you throwing her a wedding?
49:57You get it on video, Ash?
49:58Post it so the rest of us
49:59can enjoy the show.
50:00Get this through your heads.
50:01Stella is not a simp.
50:03Say that word in front of me again
50:04and we're done.
50:05As for Jade,
50:07I'll give her a memory
50:07she'll never forget.
50:13Why isn't she here yet?
50:15Even if she got the wrong room,
50:16she should have found
50:17her way by now.
50:17Do I have to go get her myself?
50:20Mr. Voss, it's time.
50:21We head to the Jade Room now.
50:22Mr. Voss!
50:24It's bad.
50:24Mrs. Voss, she's marrying
50:26the rich man in the Bay Area.
50:27What did you just say?
50:28Mrs. Voss is marrying
50:29Ethan Morrow,
50:29the richest man in the Bay.
50:34Mrs. Voss!
50:34Mrs. Voss!
50:36Mr. Voss is in the Jade Room.
50:37You've gone the wrong way.
50:39Mrs. Voss, Mr. Voss
50:40had me redo the entire ballroom.
50:41He wants to give you
50:42a grand wedding.
50:43Please, just come with me
50:44before he gets upset again.
50:45Back off.
50:46Don't make me slap you
50:47on the happiest day of her life.
50:48Mrs. Voss, Mr. Voss
50:49has forgiven you.
50:50If you keep this up,
50:50you're the one
50:51who'll suffer for it.
50:51Go tell Ashton
50:52we are divorced.
50:54Let's both keep some dignity.
50:55Stop chasing me.
50:57Exactly.
50:57Who'd want a sorry excuse
50:58for a man like Ashton?
51:00Stella's about to marry
51:01Ethan Morrow,
51:02the richest man in the Bay.
51:03A hundred times
51:04the man Ashton ever was.
51:05What?
