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.
02:16Listen.
02:24I don't want you.
02:37Right, Lawrence.
02:39You have to tell us.
02:40I actually went for a chocobeta.
03:01Sir, we've located a woman who saved you five years ago.
03:09Yeah, okay.
03:10I'll be right there.
03:10Are you leaving already?
03:16Yeah, it's urgent.
03:18I gotta run.
03:25Miss Quinn, it's time for you to leave.
03:29And here's your compensation, as usual.
03:34Miss Quinn, must I remind you that your arrangement with Mr. Roy is strictly...
03:40strictly contractual, and you are not permitted to loiter on his property in his absence.
03:47And 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.
04:05Ms. Quinn, your mother is about to begin her next round of treatment.
04:13Ms. Quinn, your mother is about to begin her next round of treatment.
04:23Please ensure that the overdue bill is cleared before the cycle starts.
04:26Mom, I have a new dance choreography that you will love.
04:40I have a new dance choreography that you will love.
04:44Please get better and come see me dance.
04:49You know, I'm becoming a mother soon.
04:55And 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.
05:09I want to keep this baby.
05:10I want what Lawrence and I have to be real, not just physical, but love for each other.
05:35Oh, shit!
05:40Sir, 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.
06:10The 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.
06:28So, 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, including 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, but 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?
07:36Your engagement?
07:36Your engagement?
07:40We can't let Veronica know about Elena marrying Lawrence in her place, pretending to be his lifesaver.
07:46This wedding has to happen.
07:48Poor Elena.
07:49These are Veronica's shoes.
08:02Well, Mr. Crowder.
08:03Hi.
08:03Hi.
08:04I'm Lawrence Roy.
08:05Listen, I believe your daughter saved me about five years ago today.
08:11Lawrence Roy?
08:13The 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!
08:20This is our daughter, Elena.
08:22Those are her shoes.
08:24You're Elena?
08:25Yeah.
08:26It's been forever trying to find you.
08:28Listen, I can't thank you guys enough of my words, so I'm here to repay you anything you guys want, whatever you desire.
08:36Anything?
08:37Yeah, if you want money, power, whatever you guys desire, I can give it to you.
08:43I want to be your wife.
08:48I want to be your wife.
08:49I want to be your wife.
08:52Sorry?
08:54I said, I want to be your wife.
08:58I'm sorry.
08:59I think you misunderstood what I'm trying to say.
09:00No, no.
09:01Lawrence, saving you five years ago was just the beginning of our fate.
09:08All I ask now is to be your wife.
09:11Okay.
09:12I mean, I can guarantee you and your family are set up financially, but as far as love goes, trying to have feelings...
09:24No, Lawrence.
09:24It's okay.
09:25It's okay.
09:25So long as I can call you my husband, that's enough.
09:30Just wait, Lawrence.
09:32I'll make sure you fall in love with me.
09:34Well, congratulations on your engagement.
09:39Wait, 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.
10:03Those expenses.
10:04Do you have enough money?
10:06I could...
10:06Elena's wedding will need every penny we have.
10:09Dear, mine.
10:10Right, right.
10:12Weddings can be quite the hassle.
10:15Sweetie, 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.
10:23Well, I'll stay tonight, and I'll leave first thing in the morning tomorrow.
10:30No, no.
10:30Stay a few more days for my sake.
10:32You can help me pick out my wedding dress tomorrow.
10:35It'll be like a fun little bonding experience, and you can meet my fiancé.
10:40Oh 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!
11:01Elena's fiancé's Lawrence?
11:03How could this happen?
11:06Why him?
11:08Who's this?
11:09This is my sister, and my maid of honor, and Veronica.
11:15This is my fiancé, Lawrence.
11:18I have a great idea.
11:20You should try on dresses too, over here.
11:22Oh, thank you.
11:25Yes.
11:26Okay, try this.
11:28Go.
11:28How did you get in here?
11:41Yeah, I didn't know.
11:42Why are you here?
11:44My sister's getting engaged, and I'm helping her.
11:48Why the hell are you here?
11:50I heard that, yeah.
11:51Your sister.
11:53It's really funny, actually.
11:54You shouldn't believe that.
11:57Believe it or not, Elena's your fiancé.
12:03Come on.
12:05Why are you really here?
12:06Because you know, you know the contract isn't exactly off the table yet, right?
12:17We're instead of engaged.
12:20Come 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 a balcony, countless times in my bathroom, my bathtub.
12:32My sister, your fiancé's outside.
12:41Or do you want this to go public?
12:45You know she's in the bathroom, right?
12:49Right.
12:57Sorry.
12:57Have you seen the guy that was here?
13:02Or it said, stop.
13:07Stop, Lord.
13:08Stop.
13:09That tailoring here, I tell you, is just not, it's terrible, isn't it?
13:34It doesn't even match your beauty at all.
13:35It's fine, then.
13:37We'll just find another place.
13:39Another time?
13:40Yeah?
13:40Yeah.
13:40Okay, let's go, then.
13:42Okay.
13:50I thought that wedding dress was pretty.
13:55Is Veronica really your sister?
13:58What's wrong?
14:01Do you two know each other?
14:02No.
14:03No, we just...
14:05I don't know, you guys 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.
14:19Mm-hmm.
14:19But Veronica, she's all about money.
14:23And as a result, she works at all kinds of places.
14:29Like what?
14:30You know, like bars, clubs, especially the ones where women perform erotic dances for men.
14:38It's just a hard-knock life for her, I guess.
14:40Mr. Roy, that's Veronica Quinn, our newest performer.
14:55A one-in-a-million star, but just like every sob story you've heard around here, she has a sick mother and needs money urgently.
15:03Though short on cash and super popular, she keeps her distance.
15:09Our guests aren't particularly fans of that.
15:12You know, you're done here.
15:37What, is my dancing not good enough for you?
15:39Oh, that's good.
15:40You're so good, I only want you to dance for me now.
15:44But I don't even know your name.
15:48I'm Lawrence Roy, Veronica, and I'm going to make sure you never have to pay for your mom again.
15:59Honey, what's wrong?
16:00Didn't you find a dress you like?
16:03There's something going on between Veronica and Lawrence.
16:05Then don't let her show up at the engagement party.
16:09We can't risk everyone knowing about her.
16:11No.
16:13No, she has to come.
16:14She has always overshadowed me, and now I finally have the man of everyone's dreams.
16:20I just want to see her be the jealous one for once.
16:26Lisa, I should probably go now.
16:30And, Elena, congratulations.
16:32No, please don't leave.
16:37I mean, you have to come to my engagement party.
16:40You wouldn't miss my big day, right?
16:52Is that a pink diamond?
16:55Mr. Roy must really love you.
16:57It's gorgeous.
16:58I'm so jealous.
16:59I'm so jealous.
17:02Isn't it beautiful, Veronica?
17:09She could wear at least a pair of earrings not to look so out of displays.
17:13She probably couldn't afford it.
17:15Showing up to such a grand event like this, so tacky.
17:19Oh, no.
17:21My sister is pretty enough, even without the earrings.
17:24I hope you like I'm that custom man, ballet shoes.
17:37Look, I know you missed your performance because of me.
17:40Ballet shoes?
17:41When did Elena learn ballet?
17:43Five years ago, I missed the Flora Goddess audition for saving someone from a car accident.
17:48Consider this my apology. In fact, why don't you perform for all of us?
17:54How could I possibly dance ballet?
17:57Oh, unfortunately, Elena injured her ankle during rehearsal this week.
18:03And I think it's best that we save her performance till the wedding.
18:08Yes, I'm so sorry, but I do think it's better if we save it for the wedding so we can share it with everyone.
18:17Together.
18:22Okay, we can't make up the skill, alright? We're just gonna simplify the choreography.
18:28Okay, but no one can know that I don't know how to dance.
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.
18:49Okay.
18:52Everyone, please excuse Elena for her injuries and allow me the liberty to perform for you all.
18:58Ronnie, may I have this dance?
19:01Please, it'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.
19:15We worked so well together.
19:18Would you ever return to the stage with me?
19:20You know, I really miss dancing, but I just... I just don't think it's the right time right now.
19:29Ronnie, I've waited five years to ask you this.
19:34Are you single now?
19:35I'm single now.
20:05Wow, Raymond, you and Veronica seem very well acquainted.
20:17Yeah, um, 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?
20:37Oh, excuse 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?
20:54To give the same gifts to all your girlfriends.
20:57The all my girlfriends made you jealous?
21:00Ernst, you're a damn joke, we can't be doing this.
21:03The contract is over.
21:05So then what, you're just trying to look for a new sponsor or something?
21:08I mean, who's Raymond?
21:09I mean, you know you fucking love to help I need, don't you?
21:15You know, you're acting like this while you're putting my sister.
21:18Laurence, are you in here?
21:31Laurence, are you in here?
21:33Laurence, are you in here?
21:38Laurence, have you seen Laurence?
21:46No, I haven't seen him.
21:47Oh my god.
21:49What happened to your neck?
21:50Are you hurt?
21:51No, I'm not.
21:51I'm just a little tired.
21:53I'm gonna go home if that's okay.
21:54Bye.
21:55Hi.
22:00Hi.
22:01Hi.
22:01Hi.
22:02Hi.
22:03Hi.
22:03Hi.
22:04Hey.
22:24Hi.
22:26That engagement party was just really exhausting.
22:28You're not tired?
22:30Tired?
22:30No, not at all.
22:31For 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.
22:43I'm sorry.
22:45I can't tonight, Melina.
22:56Hello?
22:57Asshole.
23:11Veronica?
23:15Veronica?
23:16Veronica?
23:16Why does Veronica have the same ring as me?
23:24Why does Lawrence have the ring?
23:27What happened to your neck?
23:28Are you hurt?
23:29No, I'm not.
23:30I'm just a little tired.
23:31I'm going to go home.
23:32They've known each other all along.
23:42Mom?
23:42It's Veronica.
23:46That bitch stole my fiancé.
23:48What?
23:49That little slut.
23:52Don't worry, darling.
23:53I'll deal with her myself.
24:02Dad!
24:04Are you home?
24:07Veronica, why are you here so late?
24:09You said you'd be gone by now.
24:10I have a house full of friends and family.
24:14I've got no room for you.
24:16I'm just here to say goodbye to my dad.
24:18He's not here.
24:19Go now.
24:20I need some rest.
24:39Hey.
24:39Nina.
24:42What's up?
24:45All alone?
24:47We need some company?
24:48Huh?
24:49What's wrong?
24:50Hey!
24:51Hey!
24:53Shut up!
24:54Fucking bitch!
24:55You fucking bitch!
24:59Shut up, you fucking bitch!
25:03Who's that?
25:04Who's that?
25:05Is that your daddy?
25:08The boys want to keep going?
25:09Huh?
25:10Hey, hey!
25:10No one?
25:11No one?
25:12Don't!
25:14Are you okay?
25:16Are you okay?
25:16Look at me.
25:17See how?
25:17Let's go.
25:17You just stay here for the time being.
25:24Just for one night until I get myself sorted out.
25:30I'll pay you.
25:32What are you trying to do?
25:33Just push me away.
25:34We can't keep doing this.
25:36I don't need you.
25:37Let me go.
25:39Yeah?
25:39Go where?
25:40To the dance teacher?
25:41It's none of your business.
25:43You're marrying my sister.
25:45And I don't want her to know about our ugly contractual relationship.
25:49Our ugly contractual relationship?
25:51Is that all you think of us?
25:53Yes, asshole.
25:57Oh, God.
25:58Are you okay?
25:58Are you sick?
25:59S-
26:00Go.
26:00Go.
26:17Find those men.
26:18Make sure they never see the sun again.
26:23Uh, honey?
26:40Yes?
26:41Did you and Veronica know each other before?
26:44That has nothing to do with our wedding.
26:46Get that crossed the line, though.
26:48I'm marrying you for marriage, not love.
26:50Okay?
26:50Gotta remember that.
26:51So, Lawrence, you do care about Veronica?
27:01You, um, you really are incredible at dancing still.
27:04Oh, thank you.
27:05I appreciate that.
27:07Director Lucas is looking for new dancers.
27:10Do you, um, care to give that a shot?
27:13I mean, um, I'm not ready to dance right now, but if you guys have some teaching gigs available, I'd love that.
27:26My friend's studio is hiring teachers for children.
27:31I mean, I got some experience, so...
27:34Yeah.
27:35True.
27:35Veronica!
27:37What a coincidence.
27:40Look at the two of you.
27:42So sweet.
27:45We're just catching up.
27:47Yeah.
27:48Um, anything Veronica needs, I will provide.
27:52Do you guys, uh, care to join us?
27:54No.
27:55No need.
27:56Bye.
27:56You know, I'll reach out to him and I'll see if he can, uh, help you, uh, out there.
28:03Yeah.
28:05Well, cheers to that.
