00:00:00Tonight, I will sell my virginity to a man who doesn't love me.
00:00:07Hey, get your ass on that stage right now. The auction is about to start.
00:00:14I don't want to sell my virginity. Not like this. But what other choice do I have?
00:00:24Congratulations. We are thrilled to inform you that you have been selected to audition for our prestigious piano performance program.
00:00:33So what?
00:00:35Your mother is dead. You're 19 now, Shannon. I have no obligation to fund your dreams.
00:00:41Oh, Catherine, please. I'll work extra jobs. I'll do anything. I'm begging you.
00:00:48If you're so desperate for money, there is a shortcut.
00:00:52What shortcut?
00:00:54There's an auction. A private one. To sell your virginity.
00:01:05And now, gentlemen, a truly special offering. An angelic pianist.
00:01:11And yes, she's a virgin.
00:01:16A grand piano at a virgin auction? How absurd.
00:01:22This piece reminds me of her. It was a long time ago.
00:01:35Help! Somebody help! Please! Help me, please!
00:01:44Lucy.
00:01:49Lucy.
00:01:52Lucy.
00:02:03Antonio, what is it?
00:02:05She reminds me of Lucy.
00:02:12A virgin pianist. Now that is a rarity. I want her.
00:02:18Come here, please.
00:02:23Let's start the bidding at $10,000.
00:02:27$11,000.
00:02:28$20,000.
00:02:29$30,000.
00:02:30That guy is a virgin predator. He's preyed on plenty of girls.
00:02:42$1 million.
00:02:45$1 million? Are you serious?
00:02:49I get that you want to have things with Catherine, but this isn't serious.
00:02:53$1 million. Going once. Going twice. Sold to this gentleman.
00:03:00What the fuck? $1 million for her? Is this how you bid at a virgin auction?
00:03:05I outbid you. That's all that matters. Just jump.
00:03:18Sir, the bank just flagged your $1 million transaction. Mr. Lawson is concerned.
00:03:30It's not his concern.
00:03:32Shannon, just get through this, and then you can go after your dream school.
00:03:37Mind your own business, father.
00:03:42Wait, sir, I...
00:03:49Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to. I'm so sorry.
00:03:54It's okay. Hey, I'm covered.
00:04:02You're a talented pianist. There are better ways to earn what you need.
00:04:07Why sell yourself like this?
00:04:09I'm not selling myself. I'm selling you.
00:04:12You're a talented pianist. There are better ways to earn what you need.
00:04:16Why sell yourself like this?
00:04:18There's no why. I just need the money. And you paid.
00:04:29I'll do whatever you want.
00:04:36You don't have to do anything. Stay for the night. That's enough.
00:04:41What? But you paid. Shouldn't I serve you something?
00:04:48You think you can serve me? You don't even know what you're doing.
00:05:01I know what I should do.
00:05:11You asked for this.
00:05:42I love you.
00:05:49Are you sure this is what you want? Are you sure you can handle it?
00:05:53I can.
00:06:05My virginity taken by a stranger.
00:06:08But it wasn't as terrifying as I thought.
00:06:12Good morning.
00:06:21How dare you go to a virgin auction? We're engaged, Antonio.
00:06:25If my private life bothers you, feel free to end it.
00:06:28Don't tempt me. Imagine what the media would say if I reported this.
00:06:33Then do it. I'm not afraid of another scandal.
00:06:36Stop pretending. You know you need this career just as much as I need you.
00:06:59What's your name?
00:07:01It's Shannon. Shannon Wood.
00:07:05Shannon Wood? This transaction's over. Consider it a night of nothing.
00:07:19I told you not to find me.
00:07:21Mr. Lawson wants me to bring you back, sir.
00:07:23Tell my father I'll be starting a green conservatory tomorrow and that no one, not even him, can change my mind.
00:07:30He's right. It was just a transaction.
00:07:35Hi. I've got my tuition ready.
00:07:38I'd like to schedule an audition at Green Conservatory.
00:08:00I hope that my lucky brooch brings you some good fortune in the competition.
00:08:09Mom, I promise I'll be a pianist like you one day.
00:08:15Then I'll be waiting, sweetheart.
00:08:30I miss you so much, Mom. I'm going to make it. I'll finish what you started.
00:08:37Did you hear? Antonio Lawson's back. He's selecting students for the world competition.
00:08:42You mean Professor Satan? I heard no one can last more than one lesson under him.
00:08:51What the hell are you doing here? I thought my mother refused to pay your tuition.
00:08:57I have my tuition ready, Amelia.
00:08:59Please. Where did you get the money from selling yourself out?
00:09:11I'm really sorry, Shannon. Maybe you should watch where you're going.
00:09:14For the next group, please move to the audition hall.
00:09:26Let's meet our judge panel today. Mr. Juliette, Mr. Martin, and the new Green Professor, renowned pianist Mr. Lawson.
00:09:52It's him.
00:09:57Mr. Lawson, shall we begin? Let's start with introductions.
00:10:05You there. Begin, please.
00:10:07My name is Amelia Barnes. I'm here on behalf of the recommendation of my mother, Catherine Barnes.
00:10:15She's the dean's daughter. I bet you're going to pick her for sure.
00:10:20Ella Chow, freshman, piano program. Spit out the gum before addressing me.
00:10:27Pathetic.
00:10:32Next.
00:10:33Ryan Smith. I'm a transfer senior.
00:10:38A C in piano pedagogy last year. Impressive. Truly.
00:10:45Asshole.
00:10:49That's enough introductions. Let's move on to performances.
00:10:52Mr. Lawson, I think you forgot about me.
00:10:56Shannon Wood, 19, applying under a special treatment fund. You can perform first.
00:11:08Whenever you're ready.
00:11:10Yes, sir.
00:11:12Oh, no. My hand. It hurts.
00:11:28Did you hear that? She sounds terrible.
00:11:35I've come so far. I can't just give up.
00:11:43That's enough.
00:11:45Stop this embarrassing display.
00:12:04That's enough. Stop this embarrassing display.
00:12:08Miss Wood, we can't take you in.
00:12:10Sir, I'm so sorry. Just give me one more chance.
00:12:14There are no apologies on stage. You're wasting everyone's time. Leave.
00:12:20Too bad money can't buy talent or fashion sense.
00:12:29She's so tragic.
00:12:33Pack your shit and go. Green is for talent, not Barnes.
00:12:38Silence!
00:12:41I'd like her to be my student.
00:12:43What?
00:12:45I told you.
00:12:46Are you serious?
00:12:48Quite serious.
00:12:50Despite her mistakes, I still see tremendous potential in Miss Wood.
00:12:56And I think she can surprise us.
00:12:59As she always does.
00:13:09So, coming to Green was your way of threatening me.
00:13:17What? No, that's not...
00:13:20Don't play innocent, Shannon.
00:13:24You don't think I know what you're trying to do?
00:13:26Sabotage me?
00:13:28Ruin my career?
00:13:30All because of one night.
00:13:39I didn't come here for you.
00:13:41I didn't even know you were teaching at Green.
00:13:44Still lying to me?
00:13:46I should have known.
00:13:48Someone like you would sell anything for money.
00:13:51What are you even talking about?
00:13:53Tell me. How much did they pay you to get to me?
00:13:56Was it as much as I paid for your virginity?
00:14:00Stop your nonsense.
00:14:04I was only at that auction because I can't pay for my tuition.
00:14:09I'm sorry.
00:14:15I didn't know.
00:14:21I'm sorry.
00:14:23You don't have to apologize.
00:14:26You were right. I'm only here because of you.
00:14:29So, if you want to throw me out, then that's fine.
00:14:33I guess I'm just a pathetic nobody who doesn't belong here.
00:14:36Listen to me.
00:14:38You are not a nobody.
00:14:40You're a talent.
00:14:42That night, when you played, I couldn't take my eyes off you.
00:14:46You don't have to say that just to make me feel better.
00:14:49I'm not. I'm telling you the truth.
00:14:51Are you sure you still want to be my mentor?
00:14:53My background, it feels like a mistake I can't erase.
00:14:57None of that matters to me.
00:14:59You're the only one I want.
00:15:02Well, let's get you a new dress.
00:15:18Well, well, well.
00:15:20Who is this beautiful angel you've brought along?
00:15:26Aren't you the girl from the auction?
00:15:31This is my student, Shannon.
00:15:35We'll be needing a performance dress tailored for her.
00:15:40The girl you bought from the auction is now your student?
00:15:44Antonio, what on earth are you thinking?
00:15:47Let's get started, shall we?
00:15:51All right, angel. Face me and raise your arms.

00:59:14up in a virgin auction and she's Green's prize pianist candidate she sold
00:59:20herself in the virgin auction I mean what is green really thinking well no
00:59:30wonder you paid your tuition so quickly you sold your first night in bed for
00:59:35that no it's how dare you use the green name to join the competition you're
00:59:45shaming us all whore never answered a hall with that slutty face it's
00:59:51disgusting perfect timing who gave you the nerve to shame her right in front of
01:00:02me
01:00:06who gave you the nerve to shame her right in front of me
01:00:15she doesn't need to sell herself for money I'm funding her tuition you
01:00:24fascinating you know I've always been curious about you Antonio you're not
01:00:30even a pianist anymore so what's your claim to this kind of money I don't need
01:00:35to justify my finances to you don't need to or can't I mean we all know
01:00:41couldn't get hired after the scandal where exactly does your money come from
01:00:45I heard he's the one who killed his girlfriend and now he's funding some
01:00:52girl I mean where did he get that kind of money I believe I can answer that
01:01:06Antonio here is the heir to Lawson Enterprises and as for the money to fund
01:01:15his protege's education it's a small fraction compared to what he controls
01:01:22wait what you're the heir of the Lawson Enterprises the Lawson family they own
01:01:30half of Europe's wealth and he's teaching here that's possible and a
01:01:37Lawson heir would never buy a virgin shut your mouth Josh you will respect my
01:01:46student or I'll make sure you regret it as for your behavior insulting a student
01:01:52and tarnishing the Greens reputation you're not welcome here
01:01:56mr. Lawson please I don't listen please listen to me I'm so sorry please let me
01:02:02explain let me explain please come on let's get out of here
01:02:07Antonio wait I need to talk to you not now it doesn't matter you should talk to
01:02:13your brother no you matter more how could you Antonio how could you hide
01:02:19your identity from me you wouldn't have given up on me if you knew would you
01:02:24Catherine someone like him backing her Shannon's guaranteed to take the top
01:02:33prize with the Lawson name alone she's gonna crush the competition mom what do

01:15:19right don't I and I will not stand by while you try to undermine a talented

01:22:35Damn
01:22:39Antonio
01:22:41You liar
01:22:44Why did you sacrifice everything for me?
01:22:48Antonio, I love you
01:22:52Please don't leave me
01:22:59You should really leave that poor man in peace, Shannon
01:23:05And if you're going to confess, you should do it to the right man
01:23:09You scared me half to death, you idiot
01:23:13Yeah
01:23:15I heard about your performance
01:23:17Your mother would be proud
01:23:19Are you proud?
01:23:26More than you'll ever know
01:23:28More than you'll ever know
01:23:35Yeah
01:23:37Sir, we found Josh Lowe
01:23:39He has confessed his crime with Catherine to orchestrating Lucy's accident and attempting to harm Shannon
01:23:46What is it?
01:23:48There's something you need to know about your mother's tragedy
01:23:52You
01:23:57Why, Catherine?
01:23:59Why did you kill my mom?
01:24:01She was your sister
01:24:02She stopped being my sister the moment she stole my man
01:24:06Antonio was supposed to be mine
01:24:08I was never Lucy's
01:24:10And I can never love someone as harmless as you, not for a single moment
01:24:13Of course you couldn't
01:24:15That's why I had Josh plant the rumors
01:24:18Destroy your career
01:24:20I needed you to fall straight into my hands
01:24:23But even after everything I did, you still chose her
01:24:26That bitch and her fricking mother
01:24:29My love for Shannon has nothing to do with Lucy
01:24:33I love her
01:24:36You'll never belong with him
01:24:39His family would never accept someone like you
01:24:43That's enough, Catherine
01:24:45You know I'm right, Antonio
01:24:47The moment you leave for Europe, it'll all be over
01:24:52You have no right to speak for our family, Catherine Barnes
01:25:02If my son stands by her, then so will I
01:25:07Father, I...
01:25:08Let me finish
01:25:10And I always thought that you cared more for your music than for your family
01:25:15But I was wrong
01:25:16Today I saw a man who was willing to give up everything he loved
01:25:21For someone else, showing true responsibility
01:25:25Thank you, father
01:25:27You can't be serious
01:25:29This girl is a whore
01:25:31She's nothing but a whore
01:25:33You've caused enough pain
01:25:36They have my support
01:25:38And nothing you can say will change that
01:25:41And you'll do nothing but face the consequences for your crimes
01:25:45Officer, take her away
01:25:48No, no, Antonio, you can't do this to me
01:25:51You can't do this to me
01:25:54You can't stop me
01:25:56Antonio!
01:26:02Hey
01:26:04It's over now, Shannon
01:26:16Mom, dad
01:26:20Justice has been served
01:26:23And...
01:26:28I became the pianist you'd always dreamed I'd be
01:26:38They'd be so proud of you
01:26:41They'd be so proud of you
01:26:50I miss them so much
01:26:52But you're not alone anymore, Shannon
01:26:59I understand now why you gave me that brooch, Lucy
01:27:02You wanted me to protect her
01:27:04To guide her, right?
01:27:07I'll keep my promise
01:27:10I'll take care of Shannon for as long as I live
01:27:15So please
01:27:17Rest in peace
01:27:41You are the star of my life, Shannon
01:27:44Is this your graduation surprise?
01:27:48It's a little more than that
01:27:54Shannon Wood
01:27:56From the moment we met
01:27:58You reminded me of everything I never knew I needed
01:28:01Your mother entrusted you to this world
01:28:04And now I want to be the one entrusted with your heart
01:28:08Will you marry me?
01:28:11Yes
01:28:13Yes, Antonio
01:28:19You have made this
01:28:21The most unforgettable night of my life
01:28:24This is only the beginning
01:28:26My dear wife
01:28:37Thank you
