00:00Mr. Roy, that's Veronica Quinn, our newest performer.
00:10A one-in-a-million star, but just like every sob story you've heard around here,
00:15she has a sick mother and needs money urgently.
00:19Though short on cash and super popular, she keeps her distance.
00:24Our guests aren't particularly fans of that.
00:30Yeah, you're done here.
00:52What, is my dancing not good enough for you?
00:54No, it's good.
00:56It's so good, I only want you to dance for me now.
00:57But, I don't even know your name.
01:03I'm Lawrence Roy, Veronica, and I'm going to make sure you never have to pay for your mom again.
01:07I should tell Lawrence I'm pregnant.
01:22But, it might mean the end of our relationship.
01:36But, it might mean the end of our relationship.
01:48I'm a stranger.
01:54You know we have maids to do chores, right?
02:14Right, your hands are too delicate.
02:16I don't know who.
02:24It's good.
02:25No.
02:29I can't like it.
02:37My lord.
02:38Just tell me.
02:40Shh, shh, shh, shh.
02:43What do I?
02:54I actually went for a check-up at that.
03:01Sir, we've located a woman who saved you five years ago.
03:05Um, yeah, okay, I'll be right there.
03:15Are you leaving already?
03:16Yeah, it's urgent, I gotta run.
03:25Miss Quinn, it's time for you to leave.
03:28And here's your compensation, as usual.
03:31Miss Quinn, must I remind you that your arrangement with Mr. Roy is strictly contractual, and you are not permitted to loiter on his property in his absence.
03:46And please remember to take your contraceptives.
03:51Do not even think about trapping Mr. Roy with a bastard child.
03:57Failure to comply? Well, you are aware of the $5 million penalty.
04:04Ms. Quinn, your mother is about to begin her next round of treatment.
04:22Please ensure that the overdue bill is cleared before the cycle starts.
04:26Mom, I have a new dance choreography that you will love.
04:45Please get better and come see me dance.
04:49No, I'm becoming a mother soon.
04:54And I'm so lost.
04:59I only became Lawrence's contract lover to cover the medical bill.
05:04And I could never think that I could actually truly fall in love with him.
05:08I want to keep this baby.
05:11I want what Lawrence and I have to be real.
05:15Not just physical.
05:17But love for each other.
05:20So spin you off to scratch your marriage integer.
05:26Let's see.
05:33Oh shit.
05:36Yes.
05:37Before you got started.
05:40I wish you had for rest.
05:43Fun.
05:44In the last week they had for him to push on a new town.
05:46Yeah, you wasn't supposed to say now.
05:47Sir, you are incredibly fortunate.
05:57Not only did that lady save her life on the spot, she also donated her blood.
06:02She even shares a rare blood type.
06:04Well, where is she now?
06:05She disappeared without any trace.
06:07This is what she left behind.
06:11The name embroidered on it is torn.
06:14But we know one thing.
06:16This belonged to her.
06:18Okay, then find the best caller to fix these.
06:21And find her for me.
06:23Yes, sir.
06:27Please let me find you.
06:33So, didn't you have something that you wanted to tell me earlier?
06:38Um, well, actually, so, my dance studio has a bunch of these new kids.
06:47Including these adorable twins.
06:51And it got me thinking, do you even like kids?
06:58No.
06:59I hate the non-stop crying of children.
07:05But I was thinking now that it's time we terminate our contract.
07:11Uh, because I'm getting engaged.
07:17Oh, my beautiful sister, I am thrilled to have you here for my engagement.
07:34Your engagement?
07:35Your engagement?
07:36Mm-hmm.
07:37Your engagement?
07:40We can't let Veronica know about Elena marrying Lawrence in her place, pretending to be his lifesaver.
07:46Sure.
07:47This wedding has to happen.
07:48Poor Elena.
07:49Poor Elena.
07:50These are Veronica's shoes.
08:02Hello, Mr. Crowder.
08:03Hi.
08:04Hi.
08:05I'm Lawrence Roy.
08:06Listen, I believe your daughter, she saved me about five years ago today.
08:11Lawrence Roy?
08:12The young business tycoon of the Roy family?
08:15Yeah.
08:16What do you mean my daughter saved you?
08:18Well, I had a car.
08:19Mr. Roy, this is our daughter Elena.
08:22Those are her shoes.
08:24You're Elena?
08:25Yeah.
08:26It's been forever trying to find you.
08:29Listen, I can't thank you guys enough in my words, so I'm here to repay you anything you
08:34guys want, whatever you desire.
08:36Anything?
08:37Yeah, if you want money, power, whatever you guys desire, I can give it to you.
08:44I want to be your wife.
08:47I want to be your wife.
08:51Sorry?
08:54I said, I want to be your wife.
08:58I'm sorry.
08:59I think you misunderstood what I'm trying to say.
09:01No, no.
09:02Lawrence, saving you five years ago was just the beginning of our fate.
09:08All I ask now is to be your wife.
09:13Okay.
09:15I mean, I can guarantee you and your family are set up financially, but as far as love goes,
09:22trying to have feelings.
09:24No, Lawrence.
09:25It's okay.
09:26So long as I can call you my husband, that's enough.
09:31Just wait, Lawrence.
09:32I'll make sure you fall in love with me.
09:37Well, congratulations on your engagement.
09:40Wait, who's the lucky guy?
09:43Is he here right now?
09:45No, no, no.
09:46But, oh my God, he's the total package.
09:49He's tall, handsome, successful, and from a very prestigious family.
09:55Veronica, how's your mom doing?
09:58My mom is still undergoing treatment right now.
10:02Those expenses.
10:04Do you have enough money?
10:05I could...
10:06Elena's wedding will need every penny we have, dear.
10:09Right, right.
10:12Weddings can be quite the hassle.
10:14Sweetie, can you stay a few more days and give us a hand?
10:18We can stay one night, but once the wedding guests start to arrive, it's going to get a little crowded.
10:24Well, I'll stay tonight and I'll leave first thing in the morning tomorrow.
10:29No, no.
10:30Stay a few more days for my sake.
10:32You can help me pick out my wedding dress tomorrow.
10:34It'll be like a fun little bonding experience.
10:37And you can meet my fiancée.
10:45Oh my God.
10:47This wedding dress looks like what's made for you.
10:51Veronica, my shoe needs a little bit of fixing.
10:53Can you help me?
10:59Baby, you're here!
11:00Elena's fiancée's Lawrence?
11:04How could this happen?
11:06Why him?
11:08Who's this?
11:10This is my sister.
11:12And my maid of honor.
11:13And Veronica.
11:15This is my fiancée, Lawrence.
11:19I have a great idea.
11:20You should try on dresses, too, over here.
11:22Oh, thank you.
11:25Yes.
11:27Okay, try this.
11:28Go.
11:29Go.
11:30Go.
11:40How did you get in here?
11:41Yeah, I didn't know.
11:42Why are you here?
11:45My sister's getting engaged and I'm helping her.
11:48Why the hell are you here?
11:49Why the hell are you here?
11:50I heard that, yeah.
11:51You're a sister.
11:53It's really funny, actually, you certainly believe that.
11:58Believe it or not, Elena's your fiancée.
12:04Come on.
12:05Why are you here?
12:06Why are you really here?
12:08Because you know...
12:10You know the contract isn't exactly off the table yet, right?
12:18We're instead of...
12:20We're engaged.
12:21Come on.
12:22When did you eat all those thrills?
12:25I don't have to tell you, but I will.
12:27I mean, there was...
12:29Balcony.
12:31Countless times in my bathroom, in my bathtub.
12:37My sister?
12:39Your fiancée's outside.
12:41Or do you want this to go public?
12:43You know she's in the bathroom, right?
12:57Sorry.
12:58Um, have you seen the guy that was here?
13:05Orton, stop.
13:08Stop, Orton.
13:13That tailoring here, I tell you, is just not...
13:32It's terrible, isn't it?
13:33It doesn't even match your beauty at all.
13:36It's fine, then.
13:37We'll just find another place.
13:39Another time?
13:40Yeah?
13:41Okay, let's go then.
13:43I thought that wedding dress was pretty.
13:56Is Veronica really your sister?
13:59What's wrong?
14:01Do you two know each other?
14:02No.
14:03No, we just...
14:06I don't know, you guys just don't really look alike, is all...
14:08Yeah.
14:09Well, we're worlds apart.
14:11You know, I'm a classy girl with refined tastes in arts and culture.
14:16I've been practicing classical ballet since I was a kid.
14:20But Veronica, she's all about money.
14:24And as a result, she works at all kinds of places.
14:27Like what?
14:28You know, like bars, clubs, especially the ones where women perform erotic dances for men.
14:37It's just a hard knock life for her, I guess.
14:40Hmm.
14:41Mr. Roy, that's Veronica Quinn, our newest performer.
14:55A one-in-a-million star.
14:57But just like every sob story you've heard around here, she has a sick mother and needs money urgently.
15:04Though short on cash and super popular, she keeps her distance.
15:09Huh.
15:10Our guests aren't particularly fans of that.
15:12Huh.
15:13Huh!
15:14Huh!
15:15Huh!
15:16Huh!
15:17Huh!
15:18Huh!
15:19Huh!
15:20Huh!
15:21Huh!
15:22Huh!
15:23Huh!
15:24Huh!
15:25Huh!
15:26Huh!
15:27Huh!
15:28Huh!
15:29Huh!
15:31Huh!
15:32Huh!
15:33Huh!
15:34Huh!
15:35You know, you're done here.
15:37What is my dancing not good enough for you?
15:39Oh, it's good.
15:41It's so good, I only want you to dance for me now.
15:44But...
15:45I don't even know your name.
15:47I'm Lawrence Roy, Veronica, and I'm gonna make sure you never have to pay for your mama yet.
15:58Honey, what's wrong? Didn't you find a dress you like?
16:02There's something going on between Veronica and Lawrence.
16:06Then don't let her show up at the engagement party. We can't risk everyone knowing about her.
16:11No. No, she has to come.
16:14She has always overshadowed me, and now I finally have the man of everyone's dreams.
16:19I just want to see her be the jealous one for once.
16:26Lisa, I should probably go now.
16:29And, Elena, congratulations.
16:34No, please don't leave. I mean, you have to come to my engagement party.
16:39You wouldn't miss my big day, right?
16:44It's not a pink diamond.
16:47Mr. Roy must really love you.
16:49It's gorgeous. I'm so jealous.
16:51Isn't it beautiful, Veronica?
16:53She could wear at least a pair of iris not to look so out of displays.
16:57She probably couldn't afford it.
16:58Showing up to such a grand event like this.
16:59So tacky.
17:00No. My sister is pretty enough. Even without the earrings.
17:03I'm so jealous.
17:04It's gorgeous. I'm so jealous.
17:06Isn't it beautiful, Veronica?
17:09It's gorgeous. I'm so jealous.
17:11Isn't it beautiful, Veronica?
17:12She could wear at least a pair of iris not to look so out of displays.
17:14She probably couldn't afford it.
17:16Showing up to such a grand event like this.
17:18So tacky.
17:19Oh, no. My sister is pretty enough. Even without the earrings.
17:34I hope you like them that custom-made ballet shoes.
17:37Look, I know you missed your performance because of me.
17:40Ballet shoes?
17:42When did Elena learn ballet?
17:44Five years ago, I missed the Flora Goddess audition for saving someone from a car accident.
17:49Consider this my apology. In fact, why don't you perform for all of us?
17:55How could I possibly dance ballet?
17:57Oh.
17:58Unfortunately, Elena injured her ankle during rehearsal this week.
18:04And I think it's best that we save her performance until the wedding.
18:09Yes. I'm so sorry.
18:12But I do think it's better if we save it before the wedding so we can share it with everyone together.
18:19Okay. We can't make up the skill, alright? We're just going to simplify the choreography.
18:28Okay. Okay, but no one can know that I don't know how to dance, okay?
18:32Why? Why not?
18:33Because Lawrence likes girls who dance and he thinks I've been doing it my whole life.
18:38So, look, Raymond, I know that you've always liked Veronica, right?
18:42If you help me, I will do my absolute best to bring you two together, okay? Please?
18:48Please, please, please, please.
18:50Okay.
18:52Everyone, please excuse Elena for her injuries and allow me the liberty to perform for you all.
18:59Ronnie, may I have this dance?
19:02It's been a while. I've missed you.
19:10It's been five years since our last rehearsal.
19:12It's a shame you don't perform anymore.
19:14Everyone. We worked so well together.
19:18Would you ever return to the stage with me?
19:22You know, I really miss dancing.
19:26But I just...
19:28I just don't think it's the right time right now.
19:30Ronnie, I've waited five years to ask you this.
19:35Are you single now?
19:36Do you understand?
19:37What are you doing?
19:39I have a grip.
19:41I'm fishing.
19:42Over...
19:43These...
19:44This kids are really good at work.
19:45ованizen
19:47But the kids are really good at work.
19:49Wow, Raymond, you and Veronica seem very well-acquainted.
20:17Yeah, me and Raymond have actually known each other for years.
20:22Ronnie was and still is my best partner.
20:26Yeah, I remember when they used to hang out all the time.
20:28I legit thought that Raymond was Veronica's boyfriend.
20:35Are you okay?
20:37Excuse me, sorry.
20:47What's your relationship with Raymond?
20:49It's really not your business.
20:51Do you want to remind you that you can only dance for me?
20:53To give the same gifts to all your girlfriends.
20:57All my girlfriends, are you jealous?
20:59Lawrence, you're a damn joke.
21:01We can't be doing this.
21:03The contract is over.
21:05Okay, so then what? You're just trying to look for a new sponsor or something?
21:08And who's Raymond?
21:09You know, you fucking love your hellbining, don't you?
21:15You know, you're acting like this while you're put to mind for your sister.
21:29Lawrence, are you in here?
21:32Lawrence, are you in here?
21:42Veronica, have you seen Lawrence?
21:45No, I haven't seen him.
21:47Oh my God.
21:48What happened to your neck? Are you hurt?
21:50No, I'm not. I'm just a little tired. I'm gonna go home if that's okay.
21:55Okay.
22:02C-
22:23Hey.
22:24Hi.
22:26Engagement party was just really exhausting.
22:28Are you not tired?
22:29Tired? No, not at all.
22:32For us, the night's just getting started.
22:36You know, baby, I think that it's time for us to celebrate just the two of us.
22:42I'm sorry.
22:45I can't tonight, Milena.
22:58Hello?
23:02Asshole.
23:12Veronica?
23:16Veronica?
23:20Why does Veronica have the same ring as me?
23:23And why does Lawrence have the ring?
23:27What happened to your neck? Are you hurt?
23:29No, I'm not. I'm just a little tired. I'm gonna go home.
23:32They've known each other all along.
23:42Mom?
23:44It's Veronica.
23:46That bitch stole my fiance.
23:48What? That little slut. Don't worry, darling. I'll deal with her myself.
23:57Dad!
24:01Are you home?
24:04Veronica, why are you here so late? You said you'd be gone by now.
24:11I have a house full of friends and family. I've got no room for you.
24:15I'm just here to say goodbye to my dad.
24:18He's not here. Go now. I need some rest.
24:21Hey, Milena.
