00:00:00If I could, rewind the clock.
00:00:05Matthew?
00:00:07Here.
00:00:09Hi.
00:00:11I'm Emily.
00:00:13Matthew.
00:00:14How many times have I dreamed of you?
00:00:25I'll keep it safe.
00:00:30You were my first friend in college.
00:00:33Yet, I know you'll never come back.
00:00:36Hey, Matthew!
00:00:44Matthew?
00:00:46Are you okay?
00:00:48Oh my god.
00:00:49Somebody help!
00:00:51Please!
00:00:52How I miss seeing your face and hearing your voice.
00:01:00This is your new assistant.
00:01:07Um...
00:01:07My name is Emily.
00:01:09This is the document you asked for.
00:01:12But I never expected it to be this way.
00:01:15I need you now.
00:01:23Being a personal assistant means not only being on call 24-7, but also handling some of
00:01:29his little secrets.
00:01:30Tracy, 24, you work as a receptionist at Pearl of Jewelry.
00:01:48And of course, your father asked for you to come and see Alexander.
00:01:51What exactly do you want?
00:01:53You want to accuse him of rape so that you can sabotage the partnership?
00:01:56What did they do to threaten you?
00:01:59Use your father's gambling debts?
00:02:01How did you...
00:02:01How did you leave before everyone you love knows what you've done?
00:02:11Hey, it's too late.
00:02:12It's too late.
00:02:14Please help me.
00:02:16I forgot to mention that, besides being Alexander's assistant, I also serve as his lover.
00:02:22I have good news for you.
00:02:37I've settled things with my father.
00:02:39He's agreed to invest.
00:02:41Well, that is good news.
00:02:48Is that all?
00:02:49When are you going to announce our wedding date to my dad?
00:02:54Cynthia, I think you misunderstood.
00:02:56I'm not part of the gift.
00:03:00Alexander, you should know that my father wouldn't be willing to invest a penny if you weren't
00:03:04my boyfriend.
00:03:13This tie suits you well.
00:03:15You should wear it tonight.
00:03:16Emily!
00:03:25Emily!
00:03:26Hi.
00:03:27Um, do you have that quarterly report ready for me?
00:03:31Yes, is now a good time.
00:03:33Are you sending me away already?
00:03:35You know, why don't I have Mike accompany you if you can take my credit card and get whatever
00:03:40you like?
00:03:40Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:03:47Wait, wait, wait.
00:03:50You're in your office.
00:03:52So you can see us.
00:03:54We won't do anything.
00:03:56Watch.
00:03:59I like this necklace on you.
00:04:00Since you helped me out, yet again, I'm going to get you a little gift.
00:04:06Maybe some...
00:04:08earrings.
00:04:13Maybe a nice dress.
00:04:15Alexander, it's not needed.
00:04:17Okay, this is stuff I should be doing as your assistant anyways.
00:04:19Don't look at me like that.
00:04:28You know, sometimes...
00:04:29I wonder if you see me...
00:04:32when you look at me.
00:04:36Are you seeing someone else?
00:04:37Oh, you know what?
00:04:42Let me...
00:04:43I'm going to get back to work.
00:04:44For the banquet tonight, wear something nice.
00:04:46And that necklace.
00:04:48I like it on you.
00:04:50Yes, sir.
00:04:55Boss, I've got information about our investigation on that man.
00:05:02His name is Matthew.
00:05:03He was Emily's first love back in school.
00:05:07And according to our investigation,
00:05:17he died in a car accident three years ago.
00:05:20How can a dead man still have such a hold on her?
00:05:24When did you say he died?
00:05:25Three years ago?
00:05:27Could this be related to my memory loss?
00:05:37What makes you think you deserve a diamond necklace this expensive?
00:05:43Oh, dear.
00:05:45Alexander showers me with gifts like this every year.
00:05:47But you...
00:05:49You strut around with your little participants award like it's some grand prize.
00:05:55Do you even realize you're just a lowly assistant?
00:05:58As if Alexander would ever care about someone like you.
00:06:03I don't need anything from Alexander.
00:06:05Because I've earned everything that I've worked for.
00:06:07Don't think I haven't caught on to your game, you sneaky bitch.
00:06:11Alexander is mine.
00:06:13And you'll never get your claws on him.
00:06:18Oh, thank God.
00:06:21Why does it bother me?
00:06:27I shouldn't fall for Alexander.
00:06:43Hey.
00:06:48Where's the necklace?
00:06:52I don't like it.
00:07:02Aw, Emily, thank you for pulling out my chair for me.
00:07:05My father and I have some confidential things to discuss tonight.
00:07:08Go sit in the corner.
00:07:10We all know who the star is today.
00:07:15So, how about I give you a yes to marrying my daughter?
00:07:19Wow, uh...
00:07:22Thank you, but...
00:07:25Actually, my heart belongs with someone else.
00:07:29So, I hope you understand my reasoning.
00:07:34Oh, my. You're too pasty.
00:07:39The children need time to develop their feelings for each other.
00:07:44Alexander, would you like some dessert?
00:07:47Yeah.
00:07:48Servant?
00:07:52Serve that to the woman opposite, Alexander.
00:07:55Emily, what happened this afternoon was completely my fault.
00:08:09I really hope you don't take it to heart.
00:08:12Mrs. DeVillis, just a misunderstanding.
00:08:15No harm done.
00:08:17Is this the girl that made you cry when you came home today, Cynthia?
00:08:21Yes, Mom.
00:08:22I upset Emily, which made Alexander angry and sent me away.
00:08:26Hmm.
00:08:27Well, Mr. Alexander had better taste than this.
00:08:29Actually, Emily is the best assistant that I've had the pleasure of working with.
00:08:34Now I understand why you refused so firmly before.
00:08:39You kids are fighting.
00:08:41Emily, I'm so happy you're not upset with me.
00:08:45I made these pastries specifically for you.
00:08:48I really hope you'll try them and forgive me.
00:08:52Does this have pistachio cream in it?
00:08:54Because I'm allergic.
00:08:57Does this mean you won't forgive me?
00:09:03Does this mean you won't forgive me?
00:09:06You don't have to eat them if you don't want to.
00:09:10Mr. Alexander, I think you pay too much attention to your employee.
00:09:15And besides, these pastries are hand-made by Cynthia.
00:09:20How could they possibly do her any harm?
00:09:23I can't make things difficult for Alexander.
00:09:25Hmm.
00:09:42Excuse me.
00:09:45You all right?
00:10:04How do you have that brooch?
00:10:05I have it for your old friend.
00:10:12Emily?
00:10:13Hey.
00:10:15Hey.
00:10:20Hey.
00:10:22You okay? Who is it?
00:10:23Don't worry.
00:10:24Alexander, I just came up here for some fresh air.
00:10:27Look, I don't mean to point fingers, but this is Cynthia's territory, so just be cautious.
00:10:33Okay.
00:10:34Can't get enough of this face.
00:10:36Matthew, was that you just now?
00:10:38Are you alive?
00:10:39What is taking Alexander so long?
00:10:49Did he go find that woman?
00:10:51For what?
00:10:53He doesn't take the Deville family seriously.
00:10:55I'm so certain that you could easily win him over.
00:11:02Now it seems we need to use some tactics.
00:11:07Hmm.
00:11:09I can use our collaboration to force Alexander to marry you.
00:11:13No, Dad.
00:11:14I know Alexander.
00:11:16And then, like him, doesn't respond well to force.
00:11:19Hmm.
00:11:20We need to target that bitch assistant.
00:11:28Alexander!
00:11:32Mr. Alexander.
00:11:34Let's finalize the details of our partnership.
00:11:37Emily, come with me. I have several new dresses to show you.
00:11:48Darling, could you help me take off the necklace around my neck? I can't quite reach the clasp.
00:11:53Yes, of course.
00:11:58Oh, there. The strap on your back is tied wrong. Let me help you retie it.
00:12:07All done. Let's show Mom.
00:12:15Oh, darling. You look gorgeous.
00:12:21Oh, so beautiful.
00:12:24Darling, where is that necklace that your father gave you for your birthday?
00:12:29Oh, I found it cumbersome while changing dresses, so I had Emily take it off of me and then...
00:12:33What are you standing around for? Go to the dressing room and help me find it. That necklace is worth a hundred million dollars.
00:12:42Move it!
00:12:43Oh, darling. Do you remember where you put it after you took it off of me?
00:12:50I gave it right back to you, Cynthia.
00:12:52Cynthia?
00:12:53Cynthia? Why are you being so rude to our guests? And why would Mr. Alexander keep somebody around with sticky fingers?
00:13:01Besides, stealing something worth one hundred million dollars? That could get you ten years in prison.
00:13:11Miss, we searched the entire dressing room and we can't find your necklace.
00:13:18Oh, are you suggesting that I remember?
00:13:21Miss, actually, there is one last place that we haven't checked yet.
00:13:26Miss Emily's handbag.
00:13:28Miss, I'll be back.
00:13:49Mr. DeVille.
00:13:52Miss Phyl is all the confidential technology you need.
00:13:56On the condition you agree to marry Cynthia.
00:14:00I don't recall that being part of the agreement.
00:14:04Cynthia likes you. I was going to give you more time
00:14:08to get to know each other, but your actions tonight concern me.
00:14:12May I be blunt, Mr. Deville?
00:14:16Besides the fact that love can't be forced, are you trying to make a business deal or sell your daughter?
00:14:20You! You.
00:14:24Alexander, you should know that your rival Clinton Corporation
00:14:28also wants this opportunity.
00:14:32I rejected Clinton Corporation's offer because of your close relationship with Cynthia.
00:14:36If you don't marry Cynthia tonight,
00:14:40I will cease our partnership immediately.
00:14:54Alexander, consider your decision carefully.
00:15:04The value that I provide as a business partner is much more than that of a husband.
00:15:10At my age, money is no longer critical.
00:15:14Cynthia's happiness is all that matters.
00:15:16I think we have a misunderstanding.
00:15:18I've never loved Cynthia, nor do I believe I'm the man for her.
00:15:22She won't find any happiness with me.
00:15:24I knew it. Cynthia was right. You'll be enriched by that little assistant.
00:15:28How could Alexander be seduced by such a lowly assistant?
00:15:34Emily is not like that.
00:15:36This partnership is crucial to the both of us and there's no need to ruin it over personal matters.
00:15:42In any case, it would help if you did not let Cynthia be hurt or mistreated.
00:15:48If you do, this partnership will end.
00:15:54Sir, we need you. Miss Cynthia and Miss Emily are arguing in the living room.
00:16:02Miss, actually, there is one last place that we haven't checked yet.
00:16:06Miss Emily's handbag.
00:16:08Are you saying that I stole the necklace?
00:16:11Well, this is absolutely unacceptable.
00:16:14I mean, first you're failing to do your job properly and now you're trying to shift the blame onto a guest.
00:16:20Miss Cynthia, I swear I'm telling the truth.
00:16:24Are you saying that you saw Miss Emily take my necklace with your own eyes?
00:16:30Yes. Yes, I saw Miss Emily take the necklace while you were changing. It's in her handbag.
00:16:36Miss Emily is an honorable guest.
00:16:39Do you know the consequences of falsely accusing a guest?
00:16:43I'm not lying. If I were, I would readily walk away from DeVille household.
00:16:48Emily, you see, she swore by it. You know I have no choice. This is just, it's too important to me.
00:16:58I didn't steal the necklace.
00:17:01Relax, Emily. I'm sure you didn't steal it.
00:17:06We just have to confirm.
00:17:18We just have to confirm.
00:17:20No.
00:17:32No, the necklace can't just go missing. Emily, you didn't give it back to me.
00:17:36Oh.
00:17:37Search her. The necklace must be on her.
00:17:40If you can't find it, you'll take her place in prison.
00:17:43No, you can't do this. Would you stop?
00:17:45Hey!
00:17:46Hey!
00:17:47What the hell is going on here?
00:17:49Does anyone care to explain?
00:17:51Miss Cynthia, we found the necklace and the purse in the dressing room.
00:17:55How is this possible?
00:18:10I'll be right there.
00:18:23You wretched woman. I'll never underestimate you again.
00:18:28This is absurd.
00:18:30Mr. Alexander, I apologize for subjecting you to such a spectacle.
00:18:34It appears I haven't been firm enough in my discipline.
00:18:37I believe the person you owe an apology to is my assistant.
00:18:41Cynthia, go over there and apologize to Emily.
00:18:47Miss Emily, I'm deeply sorry.
00:18:50Please let us know if there's anything we can do to make it up to you.
00:18:54Well, in that case, can you help me pick up all my stuff that dropped, Cynthia?
00:19:02Well, in that case, can you help me pick up all my stuff that dropped, Cynthia?
00:19:05This is ludicrous!
00:19:07That request is a bit excessive.
00:19:10Is this how you treat all your business partners, Mr. DeVille?
00:19:14Cynthia, do as Miss Emily requested.
00:19:19Alexandra, I don't know why you protect this lowly woman so much!
00:19:22Yes, why does he protect me so much?
00:19:24Am I not just a stand-in lover?
00:19:26What I do is none of your concern.
00:19:29Emily is a part of my company.
00:19:31And when you are disrespecting her, you are disrespecting me.
00:19:34Oh no, my safe!
00:19:41Mr. DeVille, there's trouble.
00:19:43Our thief has broken into your study.
00:19:45Damn, my confidential files!
00:19:46Let's go!
00:19:52Damn, my confidential files!
00:19:55Sir, we need you.
00:19:56Miss Cynthia and Miss Emily are arguing in the living room.
00:19:59Damn it!
00:20:22Someone find him!
00:20:24Search the entire grounds if you have to!
00:20:26But find that thief tonight!
00:20:27No!
00:20:29He's still in the house.
00:20:37Sweetheart, can't you just apologize to Emily already?
00:20:40No!
00:20:41I will not apologize!
00:20:43Who did she think she is?
00:20:45A seducing wench?
00:20:46A bitch?
00:20:48Why should I apologize to her?
00:20:50What's going on?
00:20:52Why is the power out?
00:20:53Where are the servants?
00:20:54Fix this immediately!

00:32:38you better watch what you say next
00:32:50you better watch what you say next
00:33:53Explain yourself then.
00:33:56I was Matthew's friend back in college.
00:33:58And my biggest regret is that I couldn't protect him three years ago.
00:34:02But if I'd seen through Alexander's schemes, then maybe Matthew would have...
00:34:06Oh, hold on. Are you saying that Alexander is responsible for Matthew's death?
00:34:13Are you saying that Alexander is responsible for Matthew's death?
00:34:17Yes. Matthew's five, but yes.
00:34:22Okay. Tell me everything.
00:34:25Why does Alexander look exactly like Matthew? And why did he want Matthew dead?
00:34:29What people don't know is that Alexander, the world group's esteemed CEO, is actually Matthew's illegitimate brother.
00:34:37Matthew and his mom took Alexander in, but...
00:34:40Growing up, he harbored secret ambitions to eliminate Matthew and take the family's inheritance for himself.
00:34:44So three years ago, he orchestrated that car accident to try to hit you both.
00:34:50Okay, let's make a deal.
00:34:54Get close to Alexander, find out his secrets, and together, you can take him down and avenge Matthew.
00:34:58Are you really starting to like him?
00:35:10Where's the evidence?
00:35:12Okay, you've said a lot, but you haven't proven anything.
00:35:14Once Alexander took control of his family's power, he didn't let any of his illegitimate status leak out.
00:35:20If I can prove to you, I'm Matthew's friend.
00:35:23I win.
00:35:24This piece, this is something you gave him the last time you two met.
00:35:27Okay, so I actually got this for you.
00:35:38What's this for?
00:35:40So, my family is actually in a little bit of trouble.
00:35:44And my dad has a lot of gambling debt, and so I think we are going to have to leave the city.
00:35:51I might have to leave school early.
00:35:57Emily, you know, I've always wanted to tell you.
00:36:12Oh, Matthew, hold on.
00:36:13I'm sorry.
00:36:14There's an emergency at home.
00:36:15I have to go.
00:36:16I'm so sorry.
00:36:16So, Matthew told you all about this.
00:36:23As Matthew's friend, it's only natural I'd want to protect you.
00:36:28Dammit.
00:36:29Why can't you just forget about him?
00:36:32Remember our deal.
00:36:34Get close to Alexander.
00:36:35Find him the sweetness.
00:36:35Hey.
00:36:55I just want to say sorry for being a bit impulsive last night.
00:37:00It's okay.
00:37:04Did you wake up early and get some work done at least?
00:37:07Yeah.
00:37:07Yeah, I did.
00:37:08But nothing's more important than seeing you.
00:37:12Well, I am also your executive assistant, so I can share in your burdens.
00:37:18Well, Emily, let me report to you then.
00:37:21After pissing off Cynthia's family last night, Mr. DeVille has stopped agreeing to give us
00:37:28the technology we need.
00:37:30But we've begun developing our own technology, so we won't have to rely on partnerships in
00:37:36the future.
00:37:37That's actually really good.
00:37:39I'm really happy for you.
00:37:41Yeah.
00:37:45But there is just, you know, one little thing.
00:37:51No one can know about this technology.
00:38:00So I hope I can rely on your professional discretion.
00:38:04Well, whether I stay quiet or not really just depends on how much leverage you have to keep
00:38:08me.
00:38:15How's that for leverage?
00:38:21How's that for leverage?
00:38:42How's that for leverage?
00:38:44How about a deal, Mr. DeVille?
00:39:04I help you, Garavage and Alexander.
00:39:07We take everything from him and ensure he can never hold his head high before the DeVille family again.
00:39:11Sometimes, reliable allies come not from marital bonds or blood ties, but from having a common enemy.
00:39:34Once you find Alexander's weakness, bring a USB drive to the bar downtown.
00:39:38I choose you.
00:39:41Hello, what are you up to?
00:39:43Uh, nothing. Let me get you some water.
00:39:48You going out?
00:39:50No, I was just, uh, cold.
00:39:53Here you go.
00:39:56You're welcome.
00:40:00Leave it, leave it, leave it. I'll have someone clean up.
00:40:02Hello, please and thank you.
00:40:03The USB drive.
00:40:15Hello?
00:40:16Alexander, we need you at the company immediately.
00:40:18Yeah, yeah, for sure.
00:40:20Be right over.
00:40:23That was work. I just gotta go head over there, but I will be right back.
00:40:26Yeah, of course.
00:40:27Work isn't.
00:40:28Okay.
00:40:30I'm stuck.
00:41:00Hi, why don't you wait here?
00:41:10I'll be right back, okay?
00:41:11Yeah, let me grab your coat.
00:41:12You might be a little bit too hot.
00:41:14Okay.
00:41:30No wine for me tonight.
00:41:39I got some work to do later.
00:41:41Well, that's okay.
00:41:43Why don't you try the food and see if it's to your liking?
00:41:45Emily, your cooking is always to my liking.
00:41:48Oh, Emily.
00:42:03I coated the fork.
00:42:08Alexander?
00:42:09Hey.
00:42:12Hey, Ella.
00:42:15Mr. Alexander is tipsy.
00:42:17Can you help him to his room, please?
00:42:18Yes, ma'am.
00:42:25I'm sorry, Alexander.
00:42:26I have to do this.
00:42:45Did she leave?
00:42:48Yes, sir.
00:42:49Miss Emily has left to be left.
00:42:51Get the car ready.
00:42:52I won't know where she's going.
00:42:54I'll do that immediately.
00:42:55Miss Emily, please join me for a drink.
00:43:07Are you going to keep that mask on all night?
00:43:16Of course not.
00:43:18I've always been sincere with you.
00:43:20So, are you so eager to get down to business or would you like to set the mood first?
00:43:34I actually brought the confidential files that you were looking for.
00:43:39Well, well.
00:43:41I actually brought the confidential files that you were looking for.
00:43:48Well, well.
00:43:50It seems you're very capable of being an assistant and might I say entirely fitting as a spy.
00:44:00Well, it's not that difficult.
00:44:02And dealing with Alexander is pretty simple.
00:44:04You just show a little skin and be passionate in bed and express admiration.
00:44:09But you know what?
00:44:10I actually have a question for you that I've been wanting to ask.
00:44:13Why are you so interested in me?
00:44:16I mean, do you have a little crush?
00:44:19Because back in school when I was with Matthew, whether we were, you know, in class together or going on dates or in the cafeteria, I never saw you around.
00:44:27Were you secretly in love with me back then?
00:44:30Yes, I was.
00:44:35I've liked you from the start.
00:44:37But of course, my good friend Matthew got you first and I just didn't want to intrude.
00:44:44Oh.
00:44:45Later, I had health issues and I dropped out.
00:44:48It's a really good performance, mystery man.
00:44:52Performance?
00:44:53I'm being sincere with you.
00:44:55Right.
00:44:56But if you were Matthew's best friend, then you would have known that he never goes to the cafeteria because he thinks the food is bland.
00:45:02He doesn't like it.
00:45:03So he either cooks it or goes out.
00:45:06But don't worry, I'm going to give you some time to think of a much better excuse and then you can have what you asked for.
00:45:19Okay?
00:45:20Just as I suspected, this person has something off about him.
00:45:23I need to get more information from Alexander.
00:45:25I might.
00:45:27Wait.
00:45:28Don't touch me.
00:45:29I can take you to see Matthew whenever you want to.
00:45:32Where is he?
00:45:36Well, when you get to see him depends entirely on your sincerity.
00:45:47It seems you may have been followed.
00:46:02What are you doing here?
00:46:12I think you owe me an explanation.
00:46:15Alexander, I...
00:46:17Emily!
00:46:18Hi!
00:46:19Thank you so much for coming to my birthday.
00:46:20I had so much fun.
00:46:23I'm Sophie.
00:46:25Right.
00:46:26Sophie, it's such a pleasure celebrating your big day with you.
00:46:29Emily, what's going on?
00:46:30Who are these girls?
00:46:31They're my friends.
00:46:33This is Sophie.
00:46:34It's her birthday, so we're having a little party.
00:46:36Emily, is this your boyfriend?
00:46:38So handsome.
00:46:39No, he's not my boyfriend.
00:46:46He's my fiancé.
00:46:49Get in.
00:46:50What?
00:46:51You're leaving already?
00:46:52That's my birthday.
00:46:53Me and my fiancé have some private matters to discuss.
00:46:57Okay, it looks like I can't stay, so...
00:47:00Wow.
00:47:01Uh, your fiancé is a little possessive.
00:47:04But come on, we're still having fun.
00:47:06Yeah, sorry about that.
00:47:08I'll have my assistant send you a gift.
00:47:12I'm sorry.
00:47:13Ladies.
00:47:14I have a small favor to ask you.
00:47:15I wonder if you could help me cover if they are your young lady at the door over there.
00:47:28Of course.
00:47:31Handsome.
00:47:32You're pretty good at this.
00:47:40Okay, why did you come for me?
00:47:41Is there something urgent?
00:47:42Let's go.
00:47:43Get in the car.
00:48:01Okay, what is going on with you?
00:48:04You've been silent all night.
00:48:06Were you surprised to see me at the bar tonight?
00:48:09I mean, what were you thinking?
00:48:11Were you worried that the dose of the drug was too low?
00:48:15What are you talking about?
00:48:17I don't even know what you're saying right now.
00:48:19Emily.
00:48:20I'm giving you a chance to tell me everything.
00:48:30Emily.
00:48:31I'm giving you a chance to tell me everything.
00:48:34What do you want me to say?
00:48:36Why?
00:48:37Why did you drug me?
00:48:38Why did you take the files off of my computer?
00:48:40And who are you meeting tonight?
00:48:42So you knew all along.
00:48:44What about the kindness that you've showed me for the last couple days that that was an act?
00:48:48No.
00:48:49This is how you interrogate someone.
00:48:50Emily, just...
00:48:52Just tell me.
00:48:53Everyone has their secrets, Alexander.
00:48:56God.
00:48:57Emily.
00:48:58Your patience is running thin.
00:48:59Just tell me.
00:49:00Look, all I can tell you is that I've done nothing to harm you.
00:49:04Okay?
00:49:05That USB cord didn't have any company secrets.
00:49:07It just had files that it was acting like a decoy.
00:49:09As for who I was with, I don't even know that person.
00:49:11Emily.
00:49:12Look, I'm telling you the truth.
00:49:13Emily, what are you trying to do?
00:49:18Before we continue, can we talk about your past?
00:49:22Maybe three years ago?
00:49:24Why do you want to talk about that?
00:49:26Just tell me.
00:49:27Just think of it as a way for me to get to know you better.
00:49:30I've already told you everything.
00:49:32I can't remember anything from that time.
00:49:33Right, you have amnesia.
00:49:35But those memories are important to me, so I was hoping that you could recall something.
00:49:38I'm not hiding anything.
00:49:40I have amnesia.
00:49:42That's the truth.
00:49:43I can't change it.
00:49:44I know.
00:49:45I understand that.
00:49:46And if that's how you want to forget, I guess I can't interfere with that.
00:49:49But I need to process my own feelings.
00:49:51Emily, what's happening?
00:49:53God, we can figure this out together.
00:49:55I don't even know what I want.
00:50:00We can figure this out together.
00:50:02Okay, I don't know what I want.
00:50:03I need time.
00:50:04Emily, just wait.
00:50:05Listen.
00:50:06I need time.
00:50:09I don't know what I believe.
00:50:11Emily, everything I'm telling you is the truth.
00:50:17I've lost my memories, and I can't remember anything.
00:50:20But the feelings I have for you are true.
00:50:27What about the feelings for Bella?
00:50:29Are they real?
00:50:31What about the feelings for your twin brother?
00:50:33Twin brother, what are you talking about?
00:50:36You mean you don't have a brother?
00:50:38Someone that you care about?
00:50:39No.
00:50:40I don't have a brother.
00:50:41Why are you asking him?
00:50:45I don't know.
00:50:46I don't know.
00:50:47I just think that sometimes we have secrets that we don't know about, Alexander.
00:50:50That's it.
00:50:51That's it.
00:50:55Sometimes we have secrets that we don't know about, Alexander.
00:50:58That's it.
00:51:01They're both suspicious.
00:51:02Who should I trust?
00:51:03Alexander says he has amnesia, but I don't believe it.
00:51:06And then Matthew seems to know things that I don't.
00:51:10What do I do?
00:51:11Emily, I will be by your side, and we can figure this out.
00:51:22I wish I could trust you.
00:51:34And dealing with Alexander is pretty simple.
00:51:36Do you just show a little skin?
00:51:41Oh, who would have thought that Alexander was deceived by the girl he trusts the very most?
00:51:46Thanks to your help, we can finally put Alexander in the trap we have set for you.
00:51:51What's the next step?
00:51:56What's the next step?
00:51:58Matter of fact, Emily's father told us.
00:52:01You mentioned before that Emily's father is a gambler, right?
00:52:04Correct.
00:52:06Oh, I look forward to seeing Alexander's reaction when he is thoroughly betrayed.
00:52:11Next time, I want them all on their knees, begging me.
00:52:24Hey, Dad, what's going on?
00:52:27Hey, everything okay?
00:52:29Okay.
00:52:31Um, that's my dad.
00:52:32He says I have to get back.
00:52:33It's urgent.
00:52:35Yeah, I'll come with you.
00:52:37No, I...
00:52:38Alexander, I'm sorry to interrupt your breakfast.
00:52:41There's something happening at the office.
00:52:43We might need you there immediately.
00:52:45Emily, I...
00:52:46No, you can handle your situation.
00:52:48I'm gonna go be with my dad.
00:52:49Okay.
00:52:50Yeah, I'll finish up quickly and come see you.
00:52:51Okay.
00:52:52Hey, Dad, are you okay?
00:52:53It's...
00:52:54It's nothing, Emily.
00:52:55I...
00:52:56I just missed you.
00:52:57Okay.
00:52:58Who was that?
00:52:59No one.
00:53:00Wrong number.
00:53:01Dad, just tell me.
00:53:02You're not still gambling again, are you?
00:53:03Emily, I...
00:53:04Gather...
00:53:05Don't worry, Emily.
00:53:06We're just taking you as collateral for your father's debt.
00:53:07You really set me up as collateral, Dad?
00:53:08I'm your daughter?
00:53:09How could you do that?
00:53:10Emily, I'm so sorry.
00:53:11This is all my fault.
00:53:12Enough talk.
00:53:13Let's go.
00:53:14No!
00:53:15Dad!
00:53:16Dad!
00:53:17You're not...
00:53:18You're not...
00:53:19Dad!
00:53:20You're not...
00:53:21You're not still gambling again, are you?
00:53:22Emily, I...
00:53:23Gather...

01:03:44debts. Use any means necessary.
01:03:56Oh, that's strange. Where is everybody?
01:04:05Oh, Alex. A girl named Emily says she wants to meet you in the park later.
01:04:14Hey, Matthew. Wait, she should have known my name is Alexander.
01:04:24You made me do this, Alex.
01:04:35Matthew, are you okay? Oh my God. Somebody help! Please!
01:04:44Matthew, are you okay? Oh my God. Somebody help! Please!
01:05:05Emily, I left you from the very beginning.
01:05:08Emily. Sir, the doctor said you have to rest.
01:05:12Where is she? Where'd she go?
01:05:15She just ran out, sir.
01:05:16Go find her. Start an investigation on Matthew and DeVille family.
01:05:20What is going on with me? Why am I so sad?
01:05:30I thought this was what I wanted.
01:05:37Okay. We're going to confront our feelings. We're going to talk to him and make everything clear.
01:05:41Yeah, I'm not going to miss my chance.
01:05:49Emily!
01:05:51I remember everything from three years ago.
01:05:53I took my roommate's place to attend his class and I never had the chance to tell you.
01:05:57I'm your Matthew. We've always loved each other.
01:06:00But as you know, my real name is Alex.
01:06:04Alex, I've never gotten you out of my head. I've missed you so much. I love you.
01:06:14You two can stop the tragic love story now.
01:06:18You've been lucky getting away from me. I'm not going to let it happen this time.
01:06:21Watch out!
01:06:37Watch out!
01:06:38Alex, you don't get out!
01:06:44Damn it!
01:06:45Didn't I already pay off these cops?
01:06:51What are you doing?
01:06:55What are you doing?
01:06:56You're under arrest for attempted murder and human traffic.
01:07:00Bullshit!
01:07:01Give me evidence!
01:07:02You have the right to remain silent.
01:07:04Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.
01:07:08You have the right to an attorney.
01:07:09And that attorney can be present at any questioning.
01:07:12If you do not afford an attorney, one will be provided at the government's expense.
01:07:16Alexander's assistance provided us with all the evidence linking you and the DeVille family
01:07:20to human trafficking through the gambling den.
01:07:23It will also prove that you intentionally ran someone over two years ago.
01:07:26So you and the DeVille family will most likely be sitting in front of the burden real soon.
01:07:31Alexander!
01:07:32I hate you!
01:07:33I hate you!
01:07:34I hate you!
01:07:34I hate you!
01:07:50I hate you!
01:07:53I hate you!
01:07:53Are you OK?
01:07:55Yeah.
01:07:57You're that nightmare again?
01:07:58Yeah, yeah, but I'm just glad I didn't lose you.
01:08:00I didn't lose you.
01:08:02Well, it's time to get up.
01:08:03Got a lot to do today.
01:08:04Got to go pick out a venue for the wedding.
01:08:08Got to go get you to try on some dresses.
01:08:10The butler's got several options based
01:08:12on what you mentioned last time.
01:08:14But first, I want to ask you something.
01:08:16Will you marry me?
01:08:32Yes.
01:08:33Yeah.
01:08:35You know, I think we can delay our plans just a little bit.
01:08:44Oh, hold on just a second.
01:08:48Before we continue, I need some clarity on something.
01:08:53Ask me anything.
01:08:56OK, this legendary Bella.
01:09:00Who is she?
01:09:04Come with me.
01:09:06Come with me.
01:09:07So when I was a kid, my parents had high expectations for me,
01:09:15and I never really had any friends.
01:09:18But I had Bella.
01:09:20Whenever I felt sad or like I couldn't keep going,
01:09:24thinking of Bella giving me hope again.
01:09:26Why am I jealous listening to this right now?
01:09:33When I started high school, I never really got to see Bella.
01:09:35My parents wanted me to focus on my studies.
01:09:38So they separated us.
01:09:41I was mad, but I couldn't argue with them.
01:09:43How could your parents do that to you?
01:09:45Thankfully, if I moved on, and you've become the new light of my life,
01:09:50And here we are.
01:09:54What?
01:09:56This is Bella, my childhood companion.
01:10:00I'll never forget her.
01:10:05I don't think anybody will ever forget Bella.
01:10:08Definitely not.
01:10:20Watch out for this podcast.
01:10:26I don't think anybody will ever forget.
01:10:29We will be here.
01:10:31Sometimes, one of us will be happy for the next month.
01:10:32We live in there today.
01:10:33esaella And evidence that you might wonder B5
