00:01Ma chère chère Chloé s'arrête, donc j'ai été obligé de prendre son nom et m'ambrer la très
00:06forte mafia donne, Callan Moretti.
00:09Mais comme Stella, je suis déjà son assistant.
00:13Par jour, Callan est allé soudé, face-tochée, m'ambrayant.
00:16Par jour, il se rie l'offre son tie et s'est devenu un incroyable, insatiable, madmane.
00:22Babe, votre chère Stella est tellement fake.
00:24Si ce n'était pas pour toi, je serais de l'hier longtemps.
00:27C'est trop long ago.
00:28Right before I completely broke down,
00:31Chloé came back and told me to give her back her spot as Callan's wife.
00:34Meanwhile, Callan's telling me to get lost, too.
00:37So I blackmailed a fat check off both of them and walked away.
00:41Three months later, I was lying on a beach soaking up the sun.
00:45Chloé called me crying.
00:47Callan refuses to touch me.
00:49Come back, help us have a baby, okay?
00:51I hung up with confusion.
00:54Callan went wild every single night.
00:57What could make him hold for three months?
00:59I'm Callan's personal assistant, but I can't take it much longer.
01:03Who knew Callan, all cold and distant during the day, is such a slut in bed at night?
01:08In boardrooms, he is insanely intimidating.
01:10All I can think about is him grabbing my waist last night.
01:14Honey, faster.
01:15Stella, Stella!
01:19Sorry, Mr. Morello.
01:20Zoning out in a meeting?
01:21Company bring you in to daydream?
01:22You don't sleep at night?
01:24Every day you're wiped out.
01:26And since when does Morelli Grapp tolerate such inappropriate a pyre?
01:29I followed his gaze down and realized he meant the hickeys on my neck.
01:32My scarf hadn't even covered them.
01:34Sorry, Mr. Morelli.
01:35I don't need excuses.
01:36Stella, if it weren't for Chloe, you wouldn't last a day here.
01:39And you and your boyfriend, keep it decent.
01:41I don't want to see this trashy stuff again.
01:43Get out next time.
01:45Meeting's over.
01:48Getting chewed out like that, I was mortified.
01:50But I still hadn't snapped out of it.
01:52Three hours of sleep last night.
01:54Now I'm at my desk.
01:55Headache.
01:56So I hid in the bathroom to pull myself together, trying to cover that red mark on my neck with
02:01concealer.
02:02Looking at the wrecked girl in the mirror, I couldn't help letting out a bitter laugh.
02:09Chloe and me, it's complicated.
02:11We're twins, but we didn't grow up together.
02:13I stayed with mom and dad in New York.
02:14She stayed with our grandparents in the California countryside.
02:17Mom and dad always felt guilty about her.
02:20After they brought her back, they spoiled her rotten and made me give in to her at every
02:24turn.
02:24You stole the love that belonged to Chloe?
02:26You owe her!
02:28Later, Chloe got sent to Europe to study art, while I stayed in this city the whole time.
02:34So even after Chloe came back to New York for work, she and I still weren't close.
02:38Six months ago, right after I started as Callan's assistant, mom and dad called me home.
02:43They said Chloe had run off with her rock musician boyfriend.
02:46No one's marrying into the Moretti family anymore.
02:49They wanted me to marry him as Chloe.
02:51Chloe's going to regret this someday.
02:53We can't leave her with no way back!
02:58Stella, you had us your whole life.
03:01Chloe was stuck in the country.
03:03You owe her.
03:04And pay it back now.
03:06Okay?
03:07I had no choice.
03:09I said yes.
03:10I figured I'd only have to be Callan's wife on paper.
03:13At first, that's how it was.
03:14But later, every single night, he was all over me.
03:18Honey, don't you love me anymore?
03:20You got yourself a boy toy.
03:21What choice did I have?
03:23He begged, so I rolled with it.
03:25Callan thinks we're twin sisters.
03:26But the truth is that Mrs. Moretti who tangles with him every night is me.
03:30That assistant he chews out all day?
03:32That's still me.
03:33And those hickeys he sneered at?
03:35He bit them into me himself last night.
03:38I looked at myself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and started my familiar transformation.
03:43Perfect makeup, an elegant gown.
03:46I grabbed the dinner I'd bought and headed to Callan's office.
03:49He was in a video meeting.
03:51When he saw me, he gestured for me to come over and sit on his lap.
03:54Why are you here so late, babe?
03:57I thought I'd be stuck eating cold toast tonight.
04:00The formal reports were still playing from his laptop speakers,
04:02and even though the camera and mic were off, I felt embarrassed.
04:06You're in a meeting.
04:07Don't do this.
04:08Why worry?
04:09We're married.
04:11Don't you think this is an inappropriate?
04:16Did Stella complain to you again?
04:21You yelled at her in front of everyone.
04:23That hurts her.
04:25Just don't do it next time, okay?
04:29Honey, I know you're sweet, but don't you think she's copying you?
04:33What do you mean?
04:34Callan ended the meeting, then turned back to me.
04:37Even twins can't be identical in behavior and taste.
04:40You love pearls, so she wears pearl earrings every day.
04:44You're lively and cheerful, so she bounces into work every morning.
04:49It's obvious she's up to something.
04:51It's so fake.
04:53You mean?
04:54She's copying you to seduce me.
04:57I've seen plenty of women like her.
05:00They ride on your trust to steal your man.
05:03You're just too innocent to see it, honey.
05:04Honey, you have to be careful.
05:08Are you sure you're not overthinking?
05:10Stella isn't like that.
05:12I knew you'd say that.
05:14Honey, I'm the closest person to you.
05:16Why don't you believe me instead of her?
05:19I was completely speechless.
05:21Luckily, Callan didn't dwell on it.
05:23He just kissed me sweetly.
05:25By the time I dragged myself out of the building, exhausted, Callan called.
05:29Stella, are you a little kid?
05:31You complained to Chloe just because I yelled at you?
05:33And what is wrong with last month's report?
05:35Full of mistakes.
05:37If you can't do the job, get out.
05:39The next second, another call came in.
05:41I answered furious.
05:42I said I'm heading back right now.
05:44Stop rushing me.
05:45Stella.
05:46It's Chloe.
05:47I'm back.
05:50My sister and I aren't close.
05:52Her sudden chummy call just felt strange.
05:55What do you want?
05:57Mom told me everything about our family and Callan.
06:02I'm back now.
06:04That Mrs. Moretti spot?
06:06Shouldn't you hand it back to me?
06:08Back to grab my spot?
06:10Your rocker boyfriend dumped you?
06:12Stella, don't push your luck.
06:14Don't forget.
06:15The Moretti family only knows me as the wife.
06:18You're just a fake.
06:20Who gives you the right to act big?
06:23I'm not cleaning up your mess for free, though.
06:27What do you mean?
06:30Give me ten million.
06:32Or we can just ask Callan to pick his real wife.
06:35Ten million for a spot as a mafia Donna is a steal.
06:39Out of guilt, my parents spent all their money spoiling her.
06:42While I worked odd jobs to pay my tuition, she was living in luxury in Paris.
06:46I had to get payback for the bitterness in my heart.
06:50You're sure?
06:51You take the money and leave?
06:53Don't trust me?
06:54I can go tell Callan right now.
06:56No!
06:56I'll give you the money, but promise you'll vanish from Callan's life forever.
06:59I agreed without hesitation.
07:01We agreed I'd hand in my resignation a week from now.
07:05To leave nothing to chance, Chloe took the phone I used with Callan and asked about all
07:09my likes and little habits with him these past six months.
07:12I told her everything, honestly.
07:14Over the past six months, by day I was the browbeaten assistant getting yelled at.
07:18By night I was the pampered wife getting worked ragged.
07:20Now I can finally quit playing the wife on night duty and actually sleep in peace.
07:28I woke up naturally several days in a row, feeling amazing.
07:33Even running into Callan in the elevator, I could smile and say hi.
07:36Morning, Mr. Moretti.
07:39But he looked like complete garbage, though.
07:41Pale, exhausted, and drained.
07:43Even when he used to stay up messing around with me all night before jumping straight into
07:47an international meeting, he never looked this terrible.
07:50Mr. Moretti?
07:53You feeling okay?
07:56Mind your business.
07:58Got it.
07:59I crushed my work all morning.
08:00Just as I was thinking about lunch, Chloe showed up with a lunchbox.
08:04She strolled straight into Callan's office.
08:07Just as I was about to head down, Callan called.
08:11Bring two coffees in.
08:13Callan loved sweet and loved the rich smell of coffee.
08:16So the sugar and milk ratio mattered a lot.
08:18I made two cups the way he liked it.
08:22Honey, I made it all myself.
08:24Try it.
08:25I didn't want any drama.
08:27Stella, why'd you come in?
08:29Bringing coffee.
08:30Callan was still behind the desk, so I set the coffee down and handed the other cup to
08:34Chloe on the couch.
08:35Is there something about him you still haven't told me?
08:38He won't let me touch him these days.
08:39Something's really off.
08:41Did he figure something out?
08:44I've told you all I have to say.
08:46I've got no reason to lie.
08:47Chloe looked at me, still harboring doubt.
08:50Then the second I let go of the cup, a smile flickered across her face.
08:54She hurled her coffee at me.
08:56The scalding liquid splashed across my bare arm.
08:59Oh, sweetie, look at you.
09:00So clumsy.
09:03Is that going to leave a scar?
09:04It's not your fault.
09:06She, she just didn't hold it steady.
09:09Chloe hid in Callan's arms and shot me a defiant smile.
09:12Like all those times she played the victim and flipped the story on her parents.
09:16Just as I turned to leave, Callan caught my arm.
09:19The smile.
09:21Why do you have the exact same one as Chloe?
09:26Mr. Moretti, it's not a mole.
09:28It's just an allergic breakout from the changing weather lately.
09:32Beside us, guilty Chloe went white in an instant.
09:35But to keep the swap secret, she forced a smile and played along.
09:39Yeah, honey.
09:40It's just Stella's rash.
09:42Besides, I already had the mole on my arm removed.
09:45Callan kept staring at us both.
09:47The doubt in his eyes not fully gone.
09:50Chloe rushed to change the subject.
09:52Go get that treated.
09:53You'll scar otherwise.
09:56Chloe seized the chance to lean into Callan's arms, sobbing softly.
10:00It's all my fault.
10:01If Stella scars over this, I'll feel guilty forever.
10:04I left the office.
10:06I patched up the wound quick, then leaned against the elevator doors to wait.
10:11When Chloe came out, I curled a finger at her.
10:15You!
10:19You!
10:20You dare!
10:22Back there in front of Callan, I played along for you.
10:25But that doesn't mean I eat that garbage for free.
10:28Whatever little play you and your husband put on, keep me out of it.
10:33Otherwise, you really don't want to push me.
10:36Stella, you better watch yourself.
10:39You almost blew everything just now.
10:42Just quit and get out.
10:44The world's huge, so why stay right under his nose playing assistant?
10:48You took the money.
10:49Leave this city.
10:50Go far away.
10:51Don't sit here like a ticking bomb.
10:54Quit?
10:55Relax.
10:56I don't want one more second of this crappy job.
10:59But until every dollar clears, drop the orders.
11:03You think you're the only one who wants me gone?
11:05I can't wait to be rid of you two headaches either.
11:08But before that, I need to hard work.
11:10Settle the bill for six months of hard work.
11:20What is it?
11:22Mr. Moretti, Chloe's probably told you she wants me to quit.
11:25I'll leave.
11:26For ten million.
11:27He looked almost amused and walked toward me.
11:30With all the mistakes you've made lately, firing you is more than fair.
11:35What makes you worth ten million?
11:37I drew a slow breath.
11:39Then I smiled.
11:40I stepped up to him and lightly slid my arms around his neck.
11:44Because you've fallen for me, Callan.
11:49He instinctively tried to shove me away, but I clung to him and wouldn't budge.
11:53Stella.
11:55You caught feelings for me, so seeing me drives you nuts.
11:58You chew me out three times more than any other secretary.
12:01But you feel guilty about Chloe, so you want me gone.
12:04Right?
12:06Because you watch me extra close, you notice the kiss mark on my neck.
12:10Because you can't betray your family, you had to fire me.
12:14Because seeing me stirs you up, you snap at me all the time, hoping I'll just quit on my own.
12:20Callan, did I seduce you, or can you just not control your own heart?
12:26Callan, that coffee was so hot, it left a huge blister.
12:30My arm hurt so bad.
12:33Callan, get up first.
12:35I'll take you to the hospital.
12:37No, give me a kiss, okay?
12:39It hurts so much.
12:41His heartbeat stumbled for a second.
12:43Then he shoved me off hard.
12:45You can't do this.
12:49Ten million, I'll give it to you.
12:51But let me warn you, everybody's got a line.
12:54Don't turn into some cheap, shameless little devil.
12:57I laughed.
12:58Standing over him like a winner, I looked down at him, smug.
13:02Callan, your heart skipped.
13:03You love me.
13:05No, I don't.
13:05Look, you just remind me of your sister.
13:09He sighed deeply.
13:12Whatever, it's better if you just leave.
13:15He sat back behind his desk and ordered someone to send me the transfer.
13:19Seeing my smug face, he tried to hold back but just couldn't resist.
13:25Take the money and do something legit.
13:28You've got good talent and a solid degree.
13:30Even if your mind isn't on your career, don't resort to trashy tricks.
13:34Trashy tricks?
13:35I couldn't help laughing out loud.
13:37Callan, if you found out the woman you thought was your wife was actually the older sister,
13:42who was really the younger sister,
13:44and that the taboo younger sister you tormented yourself over falling for was actually your real wife,
13:50but then got swapped back for the older sister.
13:53Would you lose your mind?
13:54Bagging a pair of hot twin sisters might be something another guy would brag about,
13:58but for a guy like Callan with responsibility baked into his bones,
14:02I said to him with a sparkling smile,
14:04Callan, I wish you and Chloe a long and happy marriage.
14:09I'm sure your future life is going to be so much fun.
14:14I took the money and headed to a coastal town in Miami.
14:17Chloe absolutely hated places like this.
14:20Thinking rural dirt and ocean air corrupted her noble soul.
14:23But I loved it.
14:25I really loved it here.
14:27In the city, my life was crammed with work,
14:30and only here could I lie comfortably on the beach,
14:33soaking up the sun,
14:34thinking about nothing at all.
14:36I rented a beachfront villa all to myself,
14:39waking up every morning to warm sunshine and blue oceans.
14:43I chilled out like this for almost a month.
14:46When Chloe called, I was lying on the beach sunbathing.
14:50Seeing her number was annoying, so I hung up twice,
14:53but she kept calling like a psycho.
14:55I lazily answered, and before I could even speak,
14:58her panicked voice blasted through.
15:01Did Callan use to touch you?
15:03Don't you think that's a bit rude?
15:04Why won't he touch me?
15:07I tried everything, and he still won't touch me.
15:09Why?
15:11Did he figure it out?
15:14Her shrieks almost blew out my eardrums,
15:16so I pulled the phone away.
15:17Maybe you just lack charm, Chloe.
15:19Ever thought about hitting the gym?
15:21No, he definitely knows.
15:23I drugged him last night,
15:25and he'd rather cut himself with a blade than lay a finger on me.
15:28He's in the hospital right now.
15:31When he gets back, he's gonna destroy me.
15:33What am I supposed to do?
15:35She broke down screaming,
15:36her voice shaking with pure terror.
15:39You drugged him?
15:41Then you better run fast.
15:43As far as I know,
15:45the last person who drugged him,
15:47they couldn't even find their ashes.
15:50Callan, as the Don of the Moretti family,
15:52he had a million ways to destroy you.
15:55Chloe didn't hesitate for a second.
15:57She knew where I was,
15:58so she bought a ticket for the very next flight.
16:01When she shoved open the VIP door at the bar,
16:03she caught a hot male model smiling and feeding me drinks.
16:06She looked at me with total disgust.
16:08Aren't you disgusted by yourself?
16:10He's a lot cleaner than you.
16:14What are you doing here?
16:15To settle the score with you, of course,
16:18my dear sister.
16:22She grabbed a glass from the table
16:23and smashed it straight at me.
16:25Our upbringings were completely different growing up.
16:28The only thing we had in common
16:29was that we both took kickboxing.
16:31Every move was vicious.
16:35You did this on purpose!
16:36If you had told me earlier
16:37that you and Callan actually caught feelings,
16:39I never would have wanted to swap back!
16:41You set me up on purpose.
16:43I set you up?
16:44Are you out of your freaking mind?
16:47If you hadn't eloped,
16:48would I have married him using your name?
16:51Do you have any idea
16:52what kind of hell I lived through
16:53for those six months?
16:55You deserve to die!
16:56You deserve to die!
16:57Half an hour later,
16:59both of us were lying on the bar couch
17:01covered in bruises,
17:02still clutching each other's hair.
17:04So what do we do now?
17:06Callan is going to track us down real soon.
17:08What are we going to say?
17:11Tell the truth.
17:11It's not like the fake marriage
17:13was my stupid idea anyway.
17:16Whoever came up with it,
17:18let them go destroy them.
17:20Chloe went quiet.
17:21After a moment,
17:22she rubbed the bruise on her face
17:23and sighed.
17:24You still blame mom and dad.
17:26Don't you hate them too?
17:28Stop acting like a saint.
17:30I...
17:31Fair enough.
17:32No point pretending in front of you.
17:36When it came to hitting bars
17:38and picking up men,
17:39Chloe was way more experienced than me.
17:41She knew every wild play,
17:43making my jaw drop in shock.
17:49I think...
17:50Callan...
17:51would actually love you.
17:53I looked at her long, slender fingers
17:55wearing leather gloves
17:57and swallowed hard.
17:58Huh?
17:58She wrapped a leather whip
18:00around her palm
18:00and gently lifted my chin
18:02with her fingertips.
18:05Stella,
18:06want to play with me tonight?
18:07Countless bodyguards
18:08flooded into the private room.
18:12Looks like I showed up
18:13at a bad time.
18:14Callan walked in.
18:16If I came any later,
18:17would I have caught a nice show
18:19between real sisters?
18:21Looking at the smirk
18:22in Callan's eyes,
18:23a cold shiver
18:24ran straight down my spine.
18:26He genuinely thought
18:27it was hilarious,
18:28but he was also completely
18:29out of his mind furious.
18:31The look he gave me
18:31was icy cold,
18:32like delivering
18:33a final notice.
18:35You're dead.
18:37I sniffled,
18:38whining weakly.
18:39Callan...
18:39The muscles in Callan's face
18:40twitched.
18:41Chloe gasped beside me.
18:43Chloe, what are you saying?
18:44Callan came all the way
18:46here for you.
18:47Stop throwing a fit
18:48and just go home with him.
18:49I stared at her in total disbelief.
18:51Chloe, you'll never find a guy
18:52as good as Callan again.
18:53Stop throwing tantrums
18:54and go home.
18:55Chloe frantically shoved
18:56all those wild props
18:58back into her bag,
18:59picked it up,
18:59and edged away cautiously.
19:01Well then,
19:02I won't intrude on you two lovebirds.
19:04Bye, Callan.
19:05I'm...
19:05Callan gave her a cold glance,
19:07scaring her so bad
19:08she froze mid-sentence.
19:10Her back pressed tight
19:11against the wall,
19:12swallowing hard twice
19:13while trembling.
19:14You're Chloe, right?
19:16We'll settle the score
19:17about you drugging me later.
19:19Get out.
19:20Oh, right.
19:21Okay, okay.
19:22Chloe threw me a helpless look
19:24and bolted out the door.
19:28All the bodyguards
19:29backed out of the VIP room.
19:31Callan walked over to me,
19:33sat down,
19:33and took a sip
19:34from the drink
19:35I had just touched.
19:37Stella.
19:39Mr. Moretti,
19:40I can explain.
19:42Just like you wanted,
19:43I do have dirty feelings for you.
19:46But I won't divorce my wife either.
19:49So from now on,
19:50you'll be my mistress,
19:51sneaking around
19:52behind Chloe's back.
19:53I was completely stunned.
19:55Callan, actually...
19:56Chloe is my legal wife,
19:58but the person sleeping
19:58in my bed is you.
20:01Having an affair
20:02with my wife's sister
20:03every single day.
20:05Isn't that exciting, Stella?
20:08The glass in his hand
20:09shattered into pieces
20:10under his bare grip.
20:12So, Stella,
20:13getting screamed at
20:14by me by day
20:15and played with
20:16by me by night.
20:17What do you think?
20:18I swallowed hard,
20:19trembling as I forced
20:21the words out.
20:23Callan, I think...
20:24I think you should
20:25go straight to hell.
20:26Callan suddenly
20:27snapped into a rage,
20:29grabbing my neck
20:29and shoving me flat
20:30against the couch,
20:31only to let go
20:32just as abruptly.
20:35Stella, you've been laughing
20:36at me for half a year.
20:39Watching me fall for you,
20:41spinning me around
20:42your finger for six
20:43whole months.
20:43Was it hilarious?
20:47I'm sorry.
20:48I coughed violently,
20:49scrambling to explain myself,
20:51but I couldn't make any sense.
20:53He was still hovering over me.
20:56You didn't just lie to me.
20:57You let Chloe take your place.
21:00Am I really that stupid
21:02in your eyes?
21:03So blind I can't even
21:04recognize my own wife?
21:05You're not sorry at all.
21:06You don't love, love me.
21:08You don't care about me.
21:09You don't even have a heart.
21:10I froze,
21:12shutting my mouth completely.
21:13I couldn't even say
21:14sorry anymore.
21:15I'm usually great
21:16at making excuses,
21:17twisting things my way
21:18even when I'm wrong.
21:19But looking at the teary
21:20corners of Callan's eyes,
21:22hearing his agonizing voice
21:23and feeling his freezing body,
21:25I couldn't bring myself
21:26to throw out
21:27any more fake excuses.
21:28Do I love Callan?
21:29The answer is definitely
21:31no.
21:32Not only did I not love him,
21:33I spent plenty of time
21:34laughing at him,
21:35cursing him out
21:36millions of times
21:37in my head.
21:38Mockery,
21:39manipulation,
21:40mind games.
21:41I was filled with malice
21:42toward him.
21:43Yet even I didn't truly
21:44understand where all
21:45this malice came from.
21:46Maybe it's because
21:47he's too perfect,
21:48I thought.
21:49Loving parents,
21:50a wholesome life,
21:51a stable soul.
21:51He had everything
21:52I dreamed of having,
21:54so I hated him.
21:57Callan pressed his lips
21:58together in a tight line.
21:59I looked back at him
22:00in complete silence.
22:02The private room
22:03was dead quiet.
22:04After a long pause,
22:05he took a deep breath.
22:06No explanation?
22:08I shook my head.
22:09Aren't you usually
22:10so good with words?
22:11How come with me
22:12you don't even bother
22:13to make up an excuse?
22:14Even if it's a lie?
22:15He completely broke down,
22:17leaning over me
22:17and wrapping his arms
22:18around my neck.
22:19Say something!
22:20Don't act like you're mute!
22:21I didn't push him away.
22:23Instead, I looked up,
22:24eyes wide open,
22:25staring right into his.
22:26Back then,
22:27when Chloe ran away,
22:29my mom forced me
22:30to replace her
22:31and marry you,
22:32so...
22:32I don't want to hear it.
22:33He slapped his hand
22:34over my mouth.
22:35His wet eyes
22:36stared straight into mine,
22:37filled with hurt
22:38and desperation.
22:39I hesitated,
22:40then slowly wrapped
22:41my arms around his waist.
22:44I knew what he wanted.
22:46Sweet-talking people
22:48was my ultimate weapon.
22:50But since I didn't love him,
22:52should I really
22:52keep lying to him?
22:54Then again,
22:55even if I didn't love him,
22:56I didn't love anyone else either.
22:58If I could lie to him
22:59for the rest of my life,
23:00keeping him happy
23:01and making myself comfortable?
23:04Isn't that a win-win?
23:06I blinked my eyes.
23:09I immediately switched back
23:11to my shameless self.
23:12I leaned in on my own,
23:14kissed his lips,
23:15and whined softly.
23:16Everything before
23:16was just me losing my mind.
23:18I know I was wrong.
23:20Please forgive me, okay?
23:23Honey,
23:24you know I've been with you
23:25right after college.
23:26Day and night,
23:2724-7,
23:28I'm always by your side.
23:30Just forgive me, please.
23:32Callan was five years
23:33older than me,
23:34used to lecturing me.
23:35When you mess up,
23:37you own it
23:37and promise to do better.
23:39Besides,
23:39I was already acting cute.
23:41What more could he want?
23:42I stared at him,
23:44totally unapologetic.
23:46He locked eyes with me,
23:47letting out a massive
23:48breath of relief
23:49before burying his head
23:50straight into my neck.
23:51He didn't make a sound,
23:53but my skin felt
23:54a sudden rush of wetness,
23:55big, scorching tears.
23:57He was crying,
23:58I felt a bit lost,
24:00suddenly doubting
24:01if lying to him
24:01was actually
24:02the right thing to do.
24:03Callan?
24:04He snapped,
24:05pinning me hard
24:06against the couch.
24:07Fine.
24:08Keep lying to me
24:09for the rest of your life.
24:14Callan dragged me
24:15straight back to New York
24:16and forced me back
24:17into being
24:18his executive assistant.
24:19He messed with me
24:20until three in the morning,
24:21then dragged me out of bed
24:23at eight to go to work.
24:24I was completely exhausted,
24:26tugging his sleeve,
24:27whining like a helpless puppy.
24:29Honey,
24:30I don't want to go to work.
24:31He leaned down,
24:32stroked my face,
24:33and said,
24:33Nope.
24:35With that,
24:36he scooped me
24:36right out of the covers,
24:37brushing my teeth,
24:39dressing me,
24:40and stuffing breakfast
24:40into my mouth
24:41like I was a human rag doll,
24:43then tossing me
24:44into the car.
24:45There was even this one time
24:46at one in the morning,
24:48right in the middle
24:48of a hot moment.
24:49He suddenly propped himself up,
24:51sweaty as hell,
24:52slapped my flushed cheeks,
24:54and asked,
24:54Did you finish
24:55the quarterly sales report?
24:57I need it tomorrow morning.
24:59I screamed,
25:00Are you even human?
25:01The next day,
25:03I slammed the report
25:03onto his desk,
25:04practically oozing rage.
25:06He swept the files aside,
25:08picked me up,
25:09and sat me right on his desk.
25:10Learned your lesson yet?
25:11I stayed dead silent,
25:13glaring at him with a pout.
25:15Fine.
25:16I'll stop messing with you.
25:18Go sleep in my lounge.
25:20I'll wake you up
25:21when it's time to head home.
25:23You asshole.
25:26Yeah.
25:26Yeah, I'm an asshole.
25:28But weren't you totally used
25:29to this kind of life before?
25:30Why can't you handle it now?
25:31He stroked my ear,
25:33leaning in close.
25:34It's pretty thrilling, actually.
25:35I shoved him away instantly.
25:37My face turned bright red.
25:38This is the office!
25:40Callan gave me
25:40a dark, knowing look.
25:42Don't you know exactly
25:42what kind of guy I am, honey?
25:44He paused.
25:45Alright, starting right now,
25:46the past is in the past.
25:47You don't bring it up,
25:48I don't bring it up,
25:49and we both forget it.
25:50Before, I was the one
25:50playing him.
25:51Now, he was the one
25:52playing me.
25:53Or even now,
25:54let's call it a day.
25:55I threw a punch at him,
25:56then turned around
25:57and marched into his lounge
25:58to catch up on my sleep.
26:00I slept for six hours.
26:02It was completely dark outside.
26:04I rubbed my eyes
26:05and stumbled out
26:06of the break room,
26:07half awake.
26:08Callan was still sitting
26:09behind his desk,
26:10going through paperwork.
26:11I sat right down
26:12in his lap,
26:13arms around his shoulders,
26:15yawning.
26:16It's past quitting time,
26:17why didn't you wake me up?
26:19You were sleeping so good.
26:20Couldn't bring myself to.
26:22He ruffled my hair,
26:23pulling me closer.
26:24By the way,
26:25Chloe, when she ran
26:26from the wedding,
26:27she eloped with someone, right?
26:28The sudden shift
26:29caught me off guard.
26:30I don't know where she went,
26:31why are you asking?
26:32She told me she's getting married.
26:34My eyes snapped open.
26:35Chloe?
26:35To who?
26:36Callan smirked,
26:37refusing to answer.
26:38Accompany me to a family banquet
26:40tomorrow and you'll see.
26:44The Moretti family banquet
26:45was painfully awkward.
26:47Chloe sat beside
26:48the barely legal boy,
26:49eyes lowered,
26:50smile gentle,
26:51and attentive.
26:53About the past,
26:54Callan simply said
26:55there'd been a mix-up.
26:56The one who married in
26:57was actually
26:58the younger sister.
27:00Callan's parents
27:01didn't know the details either,
27:03but Callan was happy,
27:04so they let it go.
27:07But facing Chloe,
27:08who was about to marry
27:09their grandson,
27:10they still found it
27:11hard to accept.
27:13Lucas,
27:13Chloe is six years older
27:15than you
27:15and she's Stella's sister.
27:17Isn't that a little
27:17inappropriate?
27:20It's fine.
27:22Keeping it in the family.
27:2318-year-old Lucas
27:24wrapped his arm
27:25around Chloe's waist,
27:26possessive as hell.
27:27I'm marrying her
27:28no matter what.
27:29I don't want anyone else.
27:32If I can't have her,
27:33I'm never getting married.
27:36Callan sat beside them,
27:37peeling an orange,
27:38watching the show.
27:39And I stared at Chloe,
27:41furious.
27:43What the hell
27:43was she doing?
27:45If the rock musician
27:46boyfriend she eloped with
27:47was a Moretti,
27:48then why elope at all?
27:50Our parents would have
27:51been thrilled
27:51to marry her off sooner.
27:52None of this mess
27:53needed to happen.
27:55Chloe wouldn't look at me,
27:56too guilty to lift her head.
27:58In the bathroom,
27:59I washed my hands,
28:01stared coldly at
28:02Chloe's uneasy reflection
28:03in the mirror.
28:06I didn't know
28:07he was a Moretti
28:08at first, Stella.
28:09I grabbed her collar
28:10and shoved her
28:11against the wall.
28:12Running off with Lucas
28:13and making me
28:14take your place
28:15at the altar?
28:15Fine.
28:16But why come back?
28:18And coming back
28:19is one thing,
28:19marrying the nephew?
28:21Now you're marrying
28:21the nephew, too?
28:22You trying to work
28:23your way through
28:23the uncle
28:24and the nephew
28:24both?
28:27Chloe,
28:28I don't care
28:28what excuses
28:29you have.
28:30You played me,
28:31that's a fact.
28:34I want some payback.
28:36That's fair, right?
28:37Chloe knew she was guilty,
28:39but she was also
28:40afraid of pain,
28:41so she bluffed.
28:41Don't push it.
28:43I've got someone
28:43backing me up now.
28:44I twisted the flesh
28:46at her waist,
28:46hard.
28:48I clamped my hand
28:49over her mouth.
28:51Sweat dripped
28:51onto my arm.
28:52Her face turned
28:53beet red.
28:54Hatred burst
28:55from her eyes.
28:56I smiled slightly,
28:58reached up,
28:59brushed the loose hair
29:00from her forehead,
29:01leaned close to her ear
29:02and whispered,
29:03Congrats on the wedding,
29:04sis.
29:07Chloe slid down the wall
29:08like her legs
29:09gave out,
29:09gasping loudly.
29:12I walked out
29:13of the bathroom
29:14like nothing happened.
29:15Callan was leaning
29:16against the wall.
29:18I froze.
29:21How long have you
29:22been here?
29:23Since your second punch.
29:25Callan smiled
29:26and said,
29:29Couldn't tell.
29:29You and your sister
29:30are pretty close, huh?
29:31Even wished her
29:32a happy marriage.
29:33Cut the sarcasm.
29:35I'm not being sarcastic.
29:37I just noticed
29:38you only hit people
29:38you're close to.
29:40You've hit me too.
29:42So I guess I'm
29:42someone you care about.
29:44That makes me
29:45kind of happy.
29:46Are you insane?
29:48He pulled me
29:48into his arms,
29:49buried his face
29:50in my chest
29:51and murmured,
29:52Baby, do you hate her?
29:54If you don't want her
29:55to have a good life,
29:56I can wreck
29:57this marriage for you.
29:58No!
29:59I refused
30:00without thinking.
30:02Landing a rich guy
30:03is her talent.
30:04Don't mess with it.
30:06Callan laughed
30:07and kissed me.
30:08Baby, you're so kind.
30:09I thought so too.
30:11I sighed quietly.
30:12What could I do anyway?
30:14She's my sister.
30:18Lucas and Chloe's
30:19wedding at the estate.
30:20Chloe held her champagne flute high,
30:23walking over to Callan
30:24and me with a triumphant smirk.
30:26Well, Stella,
30:27looks like we're still family after all.
30:29Before I could answer,
30:30Callan, swirling his whiskey glass,
30:32stepped forward.
30:33Congratulations, Chloe.
30:35By the way,
30:36Lucas transferred
30:36all his trust fund assets
30:37to a joint account today.
30:42Her Moretti family
30:44prenupial protofall.
30:45Every dollar requires
30:47dual signatures.
30:48Chloe's smile
30:48froze instantly.
30:50She thought she was marrying
30:51a naive, rich boy
30:53to secure her soft landing.
30:55Turns out,
30:56she just locked herself
30:57into financial lockdown
30:58with a hyper-possessive teenager
31:00who will follow her 24-7.
31:03Uncle Callan!
31:04Chloe doesn't care about money.
31:06She loves me for me!
31:07Lucas cut in,
31:09wrapping his arms tight
31:10around Chloe's waist,
31:11clinging to her
31:12like a golden retriever.
31:14I caught Chloe's desperate,
31:16soul-crushing glance
31:17and nearly choked on my drink.
31:19Walking out of the reception,
31:21Callan draped his tailored
31:22suit jacket over my shoulders
31:23and squeezed my hand tight.
31:27Happy with her ending, honey?
31:29Beyond thrilled.
31:31Callan stopped in his tracks,
31:33pulling me close
31:33until his dark eyes
31:34locked onto mine,
31:36a subtle smirk
31:36playing on his lips.
31:38Now what about ours?
31:43Instead of heading back
31:44to Manhattan,
31:45Callan took me straight
31:46to a private runway,
31:47flying us to a beachfront mansion
31:49in Miami.
31:50I was stunned
31:51when he pushed open
31:52the glass doors,
31:53ocean breeze,
31:54sunset views,
31:55and white roses
31:56covering the terrace.
31:58You said you loved Miami.
32:00Callan murmured,
32:01pulling me against
32:01his chest from behind.
32:03So I bought it.
32:04He slipped a black velvet box
32:06into my hand.
32:07Inside weren't just two rings,
32:09but a deed
32:09for half his private assets.
32:12Callan.
32:13I know how this started,
32:15Stella.
32:16He whispered into my hair,
32:17his voice laced
32:18with pure,
32:19vulnerable intensity.
32:20I know you hated me,
32:21used me,
32:22and lied to me.
32:23I don't care.
32:25You don't have to be
32:26Chloe's shadow,
32:27and you're never
32:28my overworked assistant again.
32:30You're just Stella.
32:34My wife.
32:35Looking into those
32:36dark, intense eyes
32:38that once intimidated me,
32:39all my defense mechanisms
32:41completely shattered.
32:42I let out a breathless laugh,
32:44wrapping my arms
32:45around his neck.
32:46You're so stupidly easy
32:48to manipulate,
32:49Mr. Morello.
32:50Callan smirked,
32:51leaning down to capture
32:52my lips in a deep,
32:53possessive kiss.
32:56Then manipulate me
32:57for the rest of your life,
32:58babe.
