03:23he dove in before we could blink he shoved georgina's head under georgina
03:27she was older no match for his strength she started choking fighting hard to get up
03:36i panicked and lunged at him but he was faster
03:42suddenly i was underwater too gabbing on chlorine and fear
03:46i grabbed his arm and bit down hard he let go finally i yanked georgina up fast
03:55she was coughing like crazy eyes rolling chest heaving gasping like she couldn't breathe
04:00this woman built the sloani hotel empire from the ground up
04:05people snapped to attention when she walked in
04:08now here she was dragged through pool water like nothing
04:16you could have killed someone you're insane my lawyers will bury you
04:21so what drop dead my husband owns hundreds of hotels what he makes in a day could buy your entire
04:27sad little bloodline lawyers please you even got one this was one of the hotels georgina had handed
04:34derrick to manage and rosilla she acted like she ran the whole empire
04:41the thought of derrick hiding this from me churned my stomach
04:44my stomach flipped
04:48what's your last name is derrick's wife her last name's winston
04:52and surprise she doesn't look like you you're the sidekick babe
04:55yet here you are loud and proud no shame at all
04:59go ahead call derrick i'm dying to see how he plans to make us pay
05:02rosine flinched at the word sidekick like i'd slapped her
05:05she rushed forward and slapped me hard
05:07shut your mouth there's no such thing as first come
05:10rosine flinched at the word sidekick like i'd slapped her
05:13she rushed forward and slapped me hard
05:16shut your mouth there's no such thing as first
05:21she dialed him up voice flipping to sickery suite
05:27Derek when are you coming I'm at the hotel pool and these two old women are picking on me
05:32I'm so scared all alone come protect me okay and from now on make sure the pool's just for me
05:39I've got some fun new tricks to show you in the water saving them just for you she hung up
05:44glowing like she just won something he'll be here in 30 you're done he's got plenty of ways
05:50to handle trash like you meanwhile I was trying not to puke Derek had looked me in the eye
05:57swearing he'd never hurt me while sneaking around with this Georgina caught my face and knew her jaw
06:04tightened Derek just like his father everything I gave him I can take it all back she despised
06:14cheaters years ago she dumped Derek's dad after he ran off with some model built her empire while
06:21raising Derek solo and now the son she raised ended up just as low a total disappointment
06:31Georgina still owned over a hundred hotels sure she let Derek manage a few but the real power still hers
06:46as for me I married into the heart family because my background actually matched his I wasn't some
06:54nobody I seriously couldn't wait to hear Derek try to spin this
07:04right then I saw it Georgina's face had gone pale
07:12I grabbed her and guided her towards the ladder trying to get her out but Rosaline lifted her hand
07:23Dimitri jumped onto the edge and kicked Georgina mid-climb
07:30she slammed back into the water
07:35I scrambled to pull her up again
07:43you two look like a pair of old ducks flopping around don't you love swimming then stay put
07:57she turned to Dimitri
08:01don't let them out until my husband shows
08:04you got it Roselli I'll keep him in just say something nice to Mr. Hart for me
08:12no matter how many times we tried to climb out Dimitri kicked us right back in
08:18we were running out of steam Georgina clutched her chest gasping too breathless to talk
08:27I held her up and shouted at the edge panic ripping out of me
08:31are you trying to kill someone my mother-in-law has a heart condition
08:36let us out now or when Derek gets here you'll regret this
08:45Dimitri hesitated and glanced at Roselli you old ladies love playing pretend heart condition you you were swimming just fine
08:54a second ago then she waved at him turn off the cool heat let's see how long she keeps faking
09:02my temples pound from how bold she was
09:17she took a slow sip of her red wine smug as ever
09:21quit the act if you want to get out beg me
09:27weren't you all tough a minute ago what now shaking cuz my husband's on his way
09:33Georgina was already weak from her heart condition after all the choking and rage she looked totally wiped barely holding
09:38on I bit down hard on my lip no way was I letting Georgina be in danger as long as
09:43I could keep her safe I would endure it for now I was about to speak when Georgina gripped my
09:47arm
09:49I've never bowed to anyone in my life and I'm not starting with trash like her I can still hang
09:55on when Derek gets here he's dead to me don't worry I've been burned by men before I'm with you
10:03Rosalie's smile vanished when we still wouldn't beg her eyes went cold
10:11go grab two buckets of ice from the kitchen let's cool them off
10:19he dumped them in minutes later the water turned freezing and I was already shaking like crazy
10:30Georgina's lips were turning purple she was slipping fast I slapped her face nothing barely a twitch holding my breath
10:41I dragged her toward the edge
10:45but Dimitri kept shooting us back with a pole over and over I lost it my throat burned as I
10:53screamed eyes stinging
10:54she's about to die let her out if anything happens his hotel's going down with you when Derek shows up
11:03he won't let this slide
11:05Dimitri finally froze swim coach or not he saw the danger in her face
11:11Rosalie she seriously doesn't look okay maybe let her out if she dies in the pool ugh that's a whole
11:16mess and Mr. Hart probably doesn't want a body on his hands if he flips I'm out of a job
11:20Rosalie paused then scoffed so now you're scared about your job
11:26I never meant to kill anyone some people are just too stubborn I said I'd think about it if they
11:31begged
11:32they're not dying yet I want to see how long they can last
11:35Dimitri puffed up beside her feeding off her power
11:37let me introduce her properly this is Rosalie Tucker Mr. Hart's woman this whole hotel exists to serve her everything
11:43bends to her you shouldn't have been let in today at all
11:45if you want to live you better start begging do it right otherwise no one's saving you
11:54I bit down so hard on my lip I tasted blood Georgina looked barely conscious
12:00I let my pride burn out and dropped my dignity
12:03please let my mother-in-law out first she has a heart condition she's really going to die
12:09Rosalie smirked loving every second
12:12didn't you just call me a shameless side chick say it again say via Winsley is the side chick and
12:17I'm Derek's wife then maybe I'll consider
12:20she was clearly obsessed with that title jealous of a woman she'd never even met
12:24too bad for her I was Vera she had no clue she was forcing that name into the dirt right
12:29in front of me
12:29I clenched my fists nails digging in swallowed hard then I said it slow and bitter
12:34Vera Winnleton is the side chick you're Derek's wife is that enough let my mother-in-law out now
12:39she gave me a sly little smile I said I'd consider it and guess what I have I changed my
12:46mind
12:47you're staying right where you are I wanted to burn holes through her with my stare
12:53no more playing nice
12:56she's Derek's mom if anything happens to her Derek's gonna make you pay when he shows up
13:12I'm outside and this is really weird then Rosine laughed sharp and mean wow you'll really say anything
13:21I heard you you said she was your mother-in-law so how'd she magically turn into Derek's mom
13:29she sneered you wrecked my day I'll make sure you remember this next time you go out bring your
13:38eyes she crossed her arms and grinned slyly I just thought of something more fun the pool barriers on
13:44the both side both slowly closed in my heart sank in panic I immediately dragged Georgina to climb out
13:49but every time I climbed the edge Dimitri shoved me back into the water Rosalie laughed loudly beside us
13:56you look like two miserable stray dogs stop it you'll kill someone
14:02Dimitri's hand handing the pole stiffened slightly he saw how pale Georgina looked
14:08she really doesn't look well what are you afraid of I'll take responsibility if anything happens
14:13poor Dimitri no longer hesitated using the pole to pin us into the water hard bang the pool cover fully
14:19shut I looked at blue-lipped Georgina filled with despair I held her up and screamed desperately
14:28help please someone help us she's dying
14:36silent and empty
14:39no one came
14:41the air grew thinner and thinner my arms holding Georgie were losing strength I slammed the barrier
14:49repeatedly with my watch
14:53rosalie's voice came through the cover I told you they're faking look how strong they are people who
15:00don't know their place deserve a lesson I ignored her taunts and hit the barrier with all my strength
15:10luckily the diamond on my watch was hard enough
15:16I cracked a gap in the cover I pushed the crack wider and dragged Georgina out to breathe
15:24Rosalie stood by the pool with crossed arms she covered her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly
15:30you actually managed to get out I turned to Dimitri call an ambulance she's dying
15:39if anything happens to her all of you will go down
15:46even Dimitri started to panic
15:48rosalie what if she cut him off ice cold relax old people are tougher than you think
15:53she's faking it my husband's on his way let them stay a few more minutes
15:58if something was gonna happen it already would have
16:03she was wrong
16:06missed the rescue window by even a minute and Georgina would die
16:10I had no time to argue and screamed at the top of my lungs
16:17right then the hotel manager rushed over screamed until my throat burned
16:22help she's having a heart attack get her out now call an ambulance
16:32he'd seen Georgina years ago but didn't recognize her anymore one look at her state made him panic
16:37he'd come over to suck up to Rosella after hearing the commotion not expecting things to turn deadly
16:44he hesitated mrs tucker maybe let them out of the pool first if something really happens this
16:49pool won't be usable anymore rosalie flicked him a look all arrogance fine since you're asking i'll
16:57let them out the manager waved Dimitri over and he dragged Georgina and Mai out of the pool
17:04she lay there completely still
17:08i didn't even stop to breathe just sprinted to the locker room grabbed my bag and ran back
17:14hands trembling i dumped out her fast acting heart pills and moved to get them into her mouth
17:19rosine kicked the bottle pills and all straight into the pool i snapped my head up shaking with rage
17:27she curled her lip drop the act i already let you out now get lost if you ever see me
17:35again walk the
17:36other way i'm being nice letting you off this time rage blew through me i lunged and slapped
17:44Rosalella hard if anything happens to Georgina i'll make you and Derek pay
17:53she screamed stunned i dared you're insane i shouldn't have gone soft i should have let you
18:00two bitches drown i tried to go for her again but Dimitri and the manager grabbed my shoulders
18:05rosalie went wild slapping me over and over more than i could count
18:12the sting snapped me back to reality if i wasted another second Georgina would die
18:18i tore free and yanked out my phone dialing Derek Derek mom's having a heart attack we're at

18:47i was shaking with rage he'd heard mom and thought he meant mine
18:51did he seriously not know whose mother had a heart condition
18:56the next second rosalie spun toward the entry lighting up
19:00Derek you're finally here
19:06she flew into his arms clinging to him like she'd been wronged beyond belief
19:11Derek why did you take so long those two women bullied me so badly she turned her face still
19:19flushed from my slap and pouted look at this that bitch hit me until my face swelled you have to
19:25stand

19:31Derek's face twisted with concern anger edging into his voice who dared hit me i won't let them get
19:36away with it don't worry i cleared a whole week just for you i'll stay with you this time this
19:42was the
19:42same man who'd just hung up on me the same man who'd clung to me last night whining about being
19:48gone on
19:48a week-long business trip swearing he'd miss me all lies every promise worthless rosalie looped her
19:59arms around his waist and dragged him over showing him off she pointed at me it was her she hit
20:06me

20:12i lifted my
20:13head and locked eyes with him Derek Hart exactly how are you planning to teach me a lesson

21:28derek ignored them all and shouted for the nearest medical team dot after georgina was rushed to the
21:33hospital and the doctor said she was out of danger i finally breathed again the doctor frowned voice heavy
21:41thank god good thing she got here in time one more minute and she wouldn't have made it by then
21:49derek
21:49knew everything fury rolled off him as he stared at rosalie she tried talking to him again and again
21:56he didn't even look at her finally she snapped she whirled on me and screamed

23:25his people moved in rosalie grabbed him again refusing to let go
23:31for a second i felt like the villain in some warped romo and juliet mess i said coldly

23:44we've still got accounts to settle
23:51via what are you doing rosalie's still young don't sink to her her level i'll have her leave now
23:56i promise you'll never see her again i looked at him every last trace of love gone and laughed coldly
24:05derrick you're so generous the person she almost killed today was your mother
24:10that's because of you if you told me earlier she was derrick's mom why would i have done any of
24:15this
24:15this is your fault you wanted to ruin my relationship with derrick so you're the one
24:21who tried to kill his mom you're vicious and scheming
24:26i made her identity clear from the start you chose not to believe it i'm not explaining myself this
24:33was attempted murder
24:36i'm calling the police save it for them
24:43is it really necessary to blow this up rosalie didn't mean it my mom's fine now isn't she just let
24:49it go would you dare say that to your mother she crossed the line and she's going to pay for
24:55it
24:57derrick's face went dark
25:04don't push me if you've got a problem take it up with me what kind of person goes after a
25:10young
25:10girl this ends now if you keep targeting her don't blame me for turning on you
25:21behind him rosaline stuck her tongue out at me then sagged in against him
25:28derrick i know i messed up i'm really cold can you take me home first
25:38he hesitated
25:42then draped his suit jacket over her shoulders i'll take her back first help me watch over
25:48my mom we'll talk about us when i get back
25:55i stood straight done there's nothing to talk about let's get a divorce
26:00impossible i'll never divorce you
26:08he reached for me but rosalie clung to him locking him in place
26:15he stopped looked at me hard and left me with one line
26:20i don't agree to a divorce wait for me to come back and explain
26:25then he walked rosalie out of the hospital arm around her protective as hell
26:34i laughed bitterly to myself
26:43so all those years meant nothing
26:51not long after georgina woke up
26:56seeing only me at her bedside a flash of disappointment crossed her eyes her voice was
27:03vera you've been through so much did you see derrick did he come i pressed my lips together not answering
27:10right away
27:12she'd raised derrick alone
27:13vera you've been through so much spent her whole life hoping for his care
27:19i couldn't bring myself to disappoint her
27:26i didn't know how to say it
27:30she lowered her gaze and sighed
27:34it's okay go on i'm prepared i softened my voice
27:42he's the one who got you to the hospital something came up so he's running late he'll be here soon
27:49after decades in the business world there was no way she didn't hear the excuse
27:55she closed her eyes when she opened them again the steel was back call him
28:01if he still considers me his mother tell him to get here now i'd done the math
28:08by now i broke her day and been halfway back
28:11derrick should have dropped her off and been halfway back
28:15the phone rang twice
28:18not derrick
28:20vera wilson

28:25still clinging on how sad
28:30you

28:38he's in the shower we tried something new and let's just say he couldn't get enough
28:46what have you got to compete with that honestly walk away before it gets pathetic
28:52i clenched my jaw last time put him on his mom needs him
28:59rosalie gave a slow fake gasp
29:01ooh let me check

29:23they say it's life-changing
29:25a dull thut then derrick's low growl

29:33between breaths derrick muttered what if something happened to your mom and this is the call before
29:38it's too late between breaths derrick muttered don't be dramatic even if she was i'd still have time for you
29:47and if she's dead i get everything
30:00their moans were still echoing through the line georgina's face went pale
30:06i hung up fast that was it this time her heart actually broke her son was in bed with his
30:12side
30:12sheet saying that while she was unconscious in a hospital georgina had always been decisive she
30:17didn't hesitate she picked up her phone and called her lawyer

30:31she gave my hand a tired pat

31:31georgina turned away her face blank the disappointment hit like a wave when she spoke her voice was ice

31:46why are you grabbing me let go my husband is derrick hart two bodyguards hauled her in
31:56she was lurking outside the room looked sketchy rosalie's eyes went wide and watery

32:12guards looked to georgina she gave a subtle nod rosalie rushed to derrick lashed onto his arm
32:19they scared me half to death then she flashed georgina a grin
32:26sorry about yesterday didn't know you were derrick's mom georgina didn't even look at her

37:14me up after that but i'd already blocked him on everything so he camped outside the company
37:18desperate and out of moves julian and i ran into him that evening as we were heading out
37:23it was raining julian held the umbrella low keeping me dry arm angled just enough to shield me
37:32we were close protective soft-spoken then he looked up locked eyes with derek

39:43i snotted and walked off without a glance letting him yell into the rain like a man unhinged
39:50once we got in the car i looked at julian
39:54why'd you bait him like that took that punch for nothing that sly spark lit up his eyes
40:01how else was i gonna get you to feel a little sorry for me
40:07i turned away from his annoyingly handsome face don't catch feelings i'm not here for that just
40:14business the light in his eyes faded a little but his voice stayed even understood time will prove me
40:22later georgina kept her word derek got one hotel just the one he used to sneak rosie into
40:28management rights only no title no power with julian and me running the show georgina spent
40:34her final years in peace no regrets roselli got three years for attempted murder when she got out
40:39heard she went straight back to derek but the roselli people talked about didn't sound like the one i
40:43remembered no spark no looks just a warrant wanted nothing of who's to do with her word was he blamed
40:48her for blowing his shot at the inheritance she stuck around anyway like she had nowhere else to go
40:52then one night derek came home drunk and snapped i didn't hear the details until later through whispers
41:00and the police report he beat her so bad he shattered her leg and wrecked her face
41:11she called the cops
41:15he ended up in prison
41:26derek kept begging to see me in prison yet i never visited him until i heard he'd tried to kill
41:33himself behind once i softened up and went to the prison to meet him he was gone and hollow cheeked
41:42no trace left of the once high spirited air to the hart family
41:49when he saw me he flew frantically against the partition glass please vera get me out of here
41:58this place is hell on earth derek everyone has to pay for the mistakes they've made
42:05if you only asked to see me to say this then this visit ends right now
42:10no vera being locked up made me realize you're the one i truly love
42:16it's all that bitch rosia's fault she lied to me
42:27his crazied expression suddenly went calm he stared straight at me
42:35if razila hadn't come between us could we have gone back to how things used to be
42:43make peace with yourself derek
42:47i didn't answer him i had no idea what he planned to do nor did i care
42:53half a year later i learned everything
42:57derek was released early for good behavior in prison the first thing he did after getting out
43:03was track down rosalie he believed rosalie's manipulation had brought him to this miserable
43:09end he kidnapped rosalie and took her to the seashore he beat her violently
43:20didn't you love drowning people in the swimming pool
43:25now it's your turn to taste it no don't do this to me please
43:33you worthless bitch it's all your fault i ended up like this rosalie cried hysterically but derek
43:42felt no sympathy for her tears
43:45derek forced rosalie's head deep under the sea water
44:11i closed the video my assistant sent me i stayed out of it their world felt miles away from mine
44:17by then
44:17over these six years julian kept drawing closer to me i knew he loved me
44:22yet i dared not accept his love derek's betrayal had wounded me far too deeply julian saw through my
44:29heart he never pressured me never told me you need to let go
44:35until the autumn of the third year i traveled to a southern city for work
44:43a terroristic broke out
44:46the crowd screamed and fled in all directions
44:49i ran along with the crowd and came face to face with three masked gunmen
44:58freeze overwhelming fear swallowed me whole
45:03i spun around to run twisted my ankle and crashed to the ground
45:11amid the chaos someone threw themselves over me pulling me tight into their arms and shielding me with
45:17their entire back bang i heard two dull shots and warm liquid trickled down my neck the person looked
45:24down at me pale lipped down at me pale lipped yet still smiling don't be afraid it was julian
45:32he'd been following me the whole time he didn't tell me afraid i'd be annoyed
45:38by the time the ambulance arrived he'd
45:41i spun around to run twisted my ankle and crashed to the ground
45:48amid the chaos someone threw themselves over me pulling me tight into their arms and shielding me with
45:54their entire back one bullet in his left shoulder another beside his lung only three centimeters away from his heart
46:06i stood outside the operating room for 10 hours praying desperately that he would survive
46:20the day he woke up the ward was only filled with sunlight and the beeping of medical equipment
46:27i sat beside his hospital bed the first thing he said after waking up was to ask about me
46:34is your ankle still swelling only then did i notice my ankle bruised black and blue i hadn't even felt
46:42the pain earlier
46:45tears rolled down my cheeks julian don't ever do something like this again he smiled faintly do what
46:54don't risk your life protecting me i'm not worth it he slowly curled his fingers around mine holding my hand
47:00tight
47:03whether you're worth it is for me to decide
47:07he brushed his fingers gently over my lips
47:11may i kiss you i leaned down and pressed my lips to his
47:20i'm yours
47:25julian and i prepared to hold our wedding ceremony we picked a church on the outskirts of town hoping to
47:32keep the wedding low teen
47:35while i waited in the dressing room my assistant rushed over to me in a panic
47:40vera i have terrible news
47:45derek escaped from prison he broke out last night my heart skipped a beat violently for some reason a
47:53terrible premonation washed over me thinking of derek's deranged look i clenched my palms tight
47:59but the joy of seeing julian soon wad away all my unease the wedding ceremony officially began
48:06my father walked me down the aisle hand in hand towards julian i heard the priest speak to me
48:13miss vera do you take mr julian to be your lawfully wedded husband for better or for worse
48:24i do
48:26the church doors were kicked wide open i forbid this marriage it was derek
48:32his expression was wild and unhinged and he held a gun he'd gotten somewhere he pointed the firearm
48:39straight at julian
48:47let go of vera she belongs to me
48:59i stood frozen and julian didn't move an inch either
49:05the next second derek pulled the trigger
49:09a gunshot rang out and julian crumpled to his knees shot in the left shoulder
49:19i told you vera is mine
49:23he turned his gaze to me will you come with me
49:29if you refuse the next bullet goes straight through his heart i knelt down to support julian
49:38his warm blood soaked into my palms
49:41i stared at at derek he had nothing left to lose which made him fearless of everything
49:51i let go of julia's arm and stood to my feet
49:58i'll go with you just stop shooting
50:04derek broke into a crazed laugh grabbed my arm and dragged me outside
50:10i glanced back at julian he clutched his bleeding shoulder bloodshot eyes his lips moving wiltly
50:21don't go
50:24yet i had no choice but to follow derek
50:34derek dragged me into his car and drove to an abandoned warehouse
50:46he hauled me inside the warehouse
50:57i said nothing he alternated between crying and laughing dragging the gun barrel across the concrete floor
51:09then we'll stay here forever
51:13we'll die together
51:14i locked eyes with him
51:19derek
51:20calm down
51:21derek flew into a sudden rage
51:24i can't calm down everything's been taken away from me

51:54he pulled a chain out of his pocket and locked me to a concrete pillar
52:01police shiren suddenly wailed outside the warehouse
52:05derek's face twisted with panic
52:08did you call the police
52:11he didn't know julian had planted a tracker on the sole of my shoe
52:15ever since the terrorist attack julian had never let me out of his sight
52:21as swat officers burst through the warehouse doors derek shot to his feet
52:31he raised the gun and aimed it straight at me
52:39let's go to hell together
52:40his face twisted into a bizarre expression half laughing half weeping
52:46the gunshot echoed echoed
52:50but it was derek who collapsed to the ground
52:55three shots fired two to his chest one square between his miles
53:01julian rushed into the warehouse supported by two officers
53:06he unlocked the chain and pulled me into a titan brace
53:17let's go home
53:19he nodded lifted me into his arms and carried me step by step out of the warehouse
53:26sunlight fell across my face and i squinted softly
