Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Emma had just caught her fiancé, Nathan, cheating with her biggest rival the night before their wedding.
00:00:07This whole forbidden affair really revs me up.
00:00:13It's her last night as a bachelor.
00:00:17I can't stand the thought of giving.
00:00:18As if that wasn't bad enough, a positive pregnancy test that didn't belong to her was lying in Nathan's trash can.
00:00:27Emma was devastated.
00:00:30Despite his infidelity, Emma planned to go through with the marriage, then divorce Nathan for half of his fortune as payback.
00:00:41Please leave a message at the town.
00:00:43Will we smell again?
00:00:46God, who's late to their own wedding day?
00:00:50But Emma never cared about money.
00:00:53She loved Nathan and secretly hoped that things could still work between them.
00:00:58Finally, Nathan, where the hell have you been?
00:01:02Emma, Emma, listen. Something's come up. Amber is sick.
00:01:06Amber? Who cares? How is that your problem?
00:01:09You know she's my agency's top model and she's supposed to pose for the Bellam jewelry show today.
00:01:13Today is our wedding day, you slimy piece...
00:01:17Bellam is an important client. I can't afford to disappoint them.
00:01:21Besides, Amber is your friend. I thought you'd have a little compassion, Emma.
00:01:26Compassion?
00:01:27Look, I can't talk right now. We'll reschedule the wedding. Goodbye.
00:01:32Nathan?
00:01:32What was supposed to be the happiest day of her life had become a total nightmare.
00:01:47No, Dad. I have no idea why she left.
00:01:50Maybe one of your ridiculous contracts scared her off.
00:01:53I want you to take responsibility.
00:01:55You're supposed to be the CEO soon.
00:01:58Don't you care about the company?
00:01:59Many appearances matter, Eric.
00:02:02The board won't accept a bachelor as their CEO.
00:02:06Fine. Find me a suitable bride and I will sign the paperwork.
00:02:10I had a suitable bride. You scared her off.
00:02:14Find yourself a wife in the next 24 hours or our company goes down the drain.
00:02:19And put the damn bow tie back on.
00:02:21Interesting.
00:02:28Hot, eligible bachelor looking for a wife.
00:02:32I added a few names, sir.
00:02:33I don't have a choice.
00:02:35So just get somebody here as quickly as you can, okay?
00:02:37Right away, Mr. Rapp.
00:02:38A wild idea struck Emma like a bolt of lightning.
00:02:44This was how she would get revenge on her cheating fiancé.
00:02:48Hi.
00:02:49My name is Emma. Emma Miller.
00:02:52That was fast.
00:02:53Eric.
00:02:56Eric Roberts.
00:02:58Hi.
00:03:00I heard you're in need of a bride, so here I am.
00:03:06Walk with me.
00:03:08I don't remember seeing you on my list of potential brides.
00:03:12Oh.
00:03:13Uh, yeah, I was a late addition.
00:03:15You must have just not noticed me.
00:03:18I doubt that.
00:03:19It would be impossible not to notice you.
00:03:24Uh, listen, Mr. Roberts, I...
00:03:27Eric, please.
00:03:29Eric.
00:03:30Um, I'm sort of trying to get revenge on my cheating ex-fiancé by marrying you,
00:03:36so you'd be doing me a favor with this wedding.
00:03:39That's good.
00:03:41Because you'd be doing me a favor as well.
00:03:43So, what do you say?
00:03:48Oh, how?
00:03:53Emma Miller, will you marry me out of the sheer convenience for us both?
00:04:02Okay, let's do this.
00:04:05Let's go.
00:04:08I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:04:12You may kiss the bride.
00:04:13As their lips touched, Emma's mind went blank.
00:04:18She had never been kissed like this.
00:04:20For a moment, she forgot all about Nathan.
00:04:23Next.
00:04:24And the fact that Amber was now pregnant with his child.
00:04:27Oh, my God, that was...
00:04:30Fun?
00:04:31Exhilarating?
00:04:32I was going to say crazy, but...
00:04:34God, yeah, it's exhilarating being married to a complete straight bird.
00:04:38Um, about that.
00:04:39Now that we're married, I think there's maybe a few things you should know about.
00:04:43Don't tell me you are a masked vigilante by night.
00:04:48Nothing that heroic, I'm afraid.
00:04:51I'm somewhat of a public figure.
00:04:54My family's company is generated a considerable amount of wealth.
00:04:58You say that like it's laughing.
00:05:02As a wise man once said, more money, more problems.
00:05:07Mr. Roberts, is it true that you tied the knot?
00:05:09Does this mean you're the CEO of Kaleidoscope Entertainment?
00:05:12Kaleidoscope, how rich are you?
00:05:18You know what?
00:05:22You should take that.
00:05:24When you're done,
00:05:26why don't you meet me at this hotel?
00:05:33Miss, over here!
00:05:35Uh, we're here.
00:05:37What do you want?
00:05:39Don't hang up.
00:05:41Where have you been? I tried calling.
00:05:43Oh, I was busy. It is my wedding day.
00:05:46Listen, I need your help.
00:05:48Amber is too sick to model for the Bellarm show.
00:05:50I need you to step in for her.
00:05:52Oh, now you need me.
00:05:54Well, gee, I wouldn't want to take such a big opportunity away from precious Amber.
00:05:59Baby, I know I messed up.
00:06:01You have every right to be upset.
00:06:03Yeah, gee, you think?
00:06:05You're the only available model that could possibly get here in time.
00:06:09This show is for the Bellarm crown bracelet.
00:06:11The prize of the collection.
00:06:13This could make or break a career, understand?
00:06:15This is your time to shine, Emma.
00:06:17You're right.
00:06:19It is my time to shine.
00:06:22All right, I will be there as soon as I can.
00:06:25And when I get there, you and I are going to have a little chat.
00:06:36Where to Mr. Roberts? Back to the manor?
00:06:38Not yet.
00:06:40I want you to pull up everything you can find about my new wife, Emma Miller.
00:06:49Let's see where she's headed.
00:06:52Follow that car.
00:06:55As Emma arrived backstage at the Bellarm fashion show, she couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope until she saw Nathan.
00:07:03It took you so long.
00:07:04Are you kidding me? You just left me at the altar.
00:07:06You're a mess.
00:07:07You're not even wearing shoes. Can we get our camera ready, please?
00:07:10You can't do what you can.
00:07:11Nathan!
00:07:12Go!
00:07:13Okay, here is the centerpiece of the crown.
00:07:19What's going on?
00:07:24It's too big.
00:07:26It was fitted for Amber, not you.
00:07:28My god, we're screwed.
00:07:29We don't have to untrue the saw.
00:07:30I got it.
00:07:31I will make it work.
00:07:36Here.
00:07:37Put this on.
00:07:38What's this?
00:07:39What does it look like?
00:07:40It's a mask.
00:07:41For your face.
00:07:42Don't look at me like that.
00:07:44Bellarm insisted.
00:07:45They want to...
00:07:46I like the person.
00:07:48Maintain a certain...
00:07:50Mystique.
00:07:51Oh, I get it.
00:07:53It's like a mystery.
00:07:55Like when you don't know the sex of your unborn baby.
00:07:57Uh...
00:07:59Baby, I don't know.
00:08:01Just put the mask on, alright?
00:08:04Sure, Nathan.
00:08:05Whatever Bellarm wants.
00:08:07Curtain in five.
00:08:08Five.
00:08:09Thank you, five.
00:08:17Hey, girly.
00:08:18How's my favorite client?
00:08:20And yes, I tell all my clients they're my favorite.
00:08:23But with you, I mean it.
00:08:24I'm at the Bellarm Fashion Show.
00:08:26Uh, Nathan wants me to fill in for Amber.
00:08:29That's great.
00:08:30This could be your big break.
00:08:31Not great.
00:08:32Amber is pregnant with Nathan's child.
00:08:34And is out with morning sickness.
00:08:36Oh my god.
00:08:38Oh my god!
00:08:39Yeah, I know.
00:08:45Also, uh, I got married this morning to someone that I just met.
00:08:49Girl, I have to ask.
00:08:52Are you having a psychotic episode or something?
00:08:55Maybe.
00:08:56Okay, listen.
00:08:57Nathan wants me to wear this ridiculous mask.
00:09:00He says that the client wants it, but I know it's because he just doesn't want me in the spotlight.
00:09:04Dad, as your friend and manager, I won't let him get away with it.
00:09:09Don't worry.
00:09:11I have a plan.
00:09:13But I'm gonna need your help.
00:09:16Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this year's annual Bellarm Jewelry Show.
00:09:23Finally, it was Emma's moment to shine.
00:09:34Julius, Bellarm's founder himself.
00:09:37I hope everything's to your liking, sir.
00:09:39Nathan, why is Amber wearing that god-awful mask?
00:09:43Oh, you thought it would add like this nice.
00:09:46Oh, see, I don't pay you to think.
00:09:48This better go good, Nathan, or your head is gonna roll.
00:09:52Bellarm is thrilled to present the star of our spring collection, the crown bracelet.
00:09:59Sorry, folks.
00:10:00I'm not sure what's going on.
00:10:02Our model, Amber, was supposed to be wearing the...
00:10:05Nathan, where is my bracelet?
00:10:13This stunning piece was designed by our founder, Julius Duran.
00:10:17Her beloved daughter, and worn in an unconventional, yet memorable style.
00:10:24But then, something caught Emma's eye.
00:10:26A face in the crowd.
00:10:28But not just any face.
00:10:30Then, disaster struck.
00:10:37I knew it.
00:10:51You're an imposter.
00:10:52Somebody get this imposter off my stage.
00:10:55She broke the crown bracelet.
00:10:57I'm sorry.
00:10:58I didn't mean to.
00:10:59It was an accident.
00:11:00Who the hell do you think you are?
00:11:05That's Emma Miller.
00:11:06She used to be a hot model until her career tanked a few years back.
00:11:09Let me rephrase.
00:11:10What is she doing on my stage?
00:11:12Where is the girl that I hired?
00:11:14Amber fell ill at the last minute.
00:11:17Emma must have snuck in wearing the mask.
00:11:19Why, I wouldn't be surprised if she poisoned Amber to steal the spotlight.
00:11:23Oh, you begged me to take over, you lying...
00:11:26I'm not!
00:11:27I should have you arrested.
00:11:30You are ruined.
00:11:32Your career is over.
00:11:34The only career it's ending today is yours, Julius.
00:11:40Unless you change your tone, I'm back away from Miss Miller.
00:11:44Now.
00:11:45Eric.
00:11:46Mr. Roberts, my apologies, sir.
00:11:50Clearly, your manners are as polished as your tacky jewelry.
00:11:55If you would be so kind as to...
00:11:57I'm sorry, Eric was it?
00:12:00You can call me Mr. Roberts.
00:12:03Kaleidoscope Entertainment, CEO.
00:12:07Show some respect, nitwit.
00:12:10This is Kaleidoscope.
00:12:12They can fly global 20 times over.
00:12:19Miss Miller.
00:12:21He's so kind as to join me.
00:12:25Wait a minute.
00:12:26Hey, baby, Emma!
00:12:29Hey!
00:12:30Do you know this guy?
00:12:31What?
00:12:32What?
00:12:33Are you jealous?
00:12:35I've long been a fan of Miss Miller's career.
00:12:38I'd like to see her succeed.
00:12:40Unlike some people.
00:12:43Let's go.
00:12:44You will be hearing from my lawyers.
00:12:56You just swooped in there and snapped your fingers.
00:12:58Hey.
00:12:59What are husbands for?
00:13:00Oh my god.
00:13:01You're my husband.
00:13:02And I'm your wife.
00:13:03I'm s-
00:13:04I ruined the fashion show.
00:13:05The media's gonna have a field day.
00:13:06Nathan is gonna destroy me.
00:13:07They will do nothing of the sort.
00:13:08I meant what I said in there.
00:13:09I meant what I said in there.
00:13:10I really want to see your career flourish.
00:13:11Are you real?
00:13:12Were you made in some kind of like perfect man lab?
00:13:13Trust me.
00:13:14I'm far from perfect.
00:13:15We all have our secrets.
00:13:17Oh!
00:13:18It was alright.
00:13:19I know.
00:13:20What?
00:13:21You're good.
00:13:22Yeah, what?
00:13:23I was a guy in a special location.
00:13:24You're a guy with a lawyer.
00:13:26You're good.
00:13:27I was a guy in a school city.
00:13:28You're a guy with a boss.
00:13:30And I have a guy in a car.
00:13:32Who is a guy?
00:13:33You're a guy.
00:13:34Sure thing.
00:13:35Let's go.
00:13:36Yeah.
00:13:37I have a friend.
00:13:38What?
00:13:39It's not a guy.
00:13:40No.
00:13:41It's not a guy.
00:13:42It's not a man.
00:13:43We.
00:13:44Well.
00:13:45What?
00:13:46Emma suddenly realized that her fairytale wedding might be over unless she acted.
00:13:55Eric, there's something that you should know about me.
00:13:58Emma Miller. Grew up in Ohio.
00:14:02Promising modeling career until two years ago when your idiot fiancé made a bad business decision.
00:14:08Bachelor's degree. It's a charity, even though you're broke.
00:14:13And you have a cat named Daisy.
00:14:15Okay, how did you know?
00:14:17I had my assistant run a thorough background check on you.
00:14:21You were not one of the women from the pre-approved list.
00:14:24I'm sorry. You were there and you needed a wife and I was devastated.
00:14:28Emma, it's okay. I knew right away. And I'm glad.
00:14:34You are?
00:14:35I could never end up with somebody that my father approves of.
00:14:39Some stuffy aristocrat with no personality, poor manners, and even worse breath.
00:14:47But Emma, you are a gift.
00:14:50Sorry, it's my manager.
00:14:58It's fine. You can take it.
00:15:01How bad is it?
00:15:06This just in, Bell Am Show spiraled out of control when former model Emma Miller went full stolen identity and replaced Amber Lee, Global Entertainment's top model.
00:15:26Although, she did end up breaking a priceless bracelet.
00:15:33Whoops.
00:15:34She also absolutely served.
00:15:38She is in her queen era and we are here for it.
00:15:44Are you seeing this?
00:15:45Not now, babe. I need to think.
00:15:48Emma is blowing up.
00:15:50The media is taking her side. That was supposed to be my moment.
00:15:54Uh-huh.
00:15:54This is humiliating me. Us.
00:15:58She probably broke that bracelet on purpose.
00:16:01We can't let her get away with this.
00:16:03What do you want me to do?
00:16:05That night, Eric brought Emma to the honeymoon suite of the most lavish hotel in the city.
00:16:11This room is incredible. It's bigger than my last apartment.
00:16:15Well, I hope you don't mind the honeymoon suite.
00:16:17My father has people watching my every move, so I need to make the marriage look legit.
00:16:23So you can be the CEO of Kaleidoscope?
00:16:25That's right. It is all my father talks about.
00:16:31You know, frankly, I don't have any interest in the family business.
00:16:36Okay, well, I say if you don't love it, then don't do it.
00:16:39Is that right?
00:16:40Weren't you the one that was about to marry their cheating fiancé before I showed up?
00:16:44I'm sorry, that came out wrong?
00:16:50No, you're right. I love Nathan despite the way you treated me, and in return, he...
00:16:58Oh my god, I'm such an idiot.
00:16:59No, no, no, no. You are not an idiot.
00:17:02You're incredible.
00:17:06You're gorgeous.
00:17:08Brave.
00:17:09Maybe a little impulsive.
00:17:11He is a fool for letting you go.
00:17:16I would never let something like that happen.
00:17:19I'm going to go take a shower.
00:17:32A very cold shower.
00:17:41Wait, uh, just wait a second.
00:17:44What? What's wrong? Are you okay?
00:17:45No, this is great. I mean, this is crazy hot, and you're perfect. It's just...
00:17:52It's okay, you can tell me. Is it my breath?
00:17:55No. Um...
00:17:56I'm...
00:17:58I've never...
00:18:01This would be your first time.
00:18:06Oh. Wow.
00:18:07You're a famous model.
00:18:10You have a fiancé. I just assumed that...
00:18:12Nathan's the only man I've ever been in a serious relationship with.
00:18:16And he was the one who said that he always wanted to wait until marriage, and I always thought it was a religious thing, but...
00:18:22Turns out he wasn't waiting. He just...
00:18:25Didn't want to be with me.
00:18:26That guy is an idiot.
00:18:30And you have nothing that you need to worry about.
00:18:34I mean, I want to. I mean, believe me, I do. It's just that all this is happening so fast. I mean, I don't even know your middle name.
00:18:42It's okay.
00:18:42It's okay. I am in no rush. We have all the time in the world.
00:18:54It's Tucker. By the way.
00:18:57Hmm. Eric Tucker Roberts.
00:19:00I know. I know. It's a family name.
00:19:04Emma and Eric spent the whole night talking, kissing, and getting closer. The whole thing felt like a dream.
00:19:12I know.
00:19:26Eric?
00:19:27Eric?
00:19:27Sorry, I didn't want to wake you, but I thought that you might be hungry.
00:19:43Oh, I have your espresso.
00:19:46Here.
00:19:54It's Nathan.
00:19:54I'm surprised it took him this long.
00:19:57Should I answer?
00:19:59I've got a few words for that guy.
00:20:01Okay, thanks, but I can't have you fighting all my battles for me.
00:20:06Suit yourself.
00:20:09What do you want?
00:20:10Emma!
00:20:11So good to hear your voice, babe.
00:20:13Wish I could say the same.
00:20:15Where the hell are you?
00:20:16You disappeared after the whole Bill Am fiasco.
00:20:18You mean after you threw me under the bus and tried to ruin my career?
00:20:24Listen, babe, I know that now.
00:20:31Everything's a mess.
00:20:33I'm sorry.
00:20:35I just want a chance to make things right.
00:20:37Please, Emma.
00:20:38I have to see you.
00:20:40You're still my fiancée after all.
00:20:42Yeah, about that.
00:20:44What's that supposed to mean?
00:20:44It means that we should discuss some things.
00:20:51I mean, okay.
00:20:53Let's meet up and talk.
00:20:55And we go out to a nice dinner.
00:20:56Just like old times.
00:20:58What do you say?
00:21:04Fine.
00:21:04I'll see you tonight.
00:21:05Thank you for coming.
00:21:10I hope you're hungry.
00:21:11Chef, he's been cooking up a storm.
00:21:14You hired a private chef.
00:21:15Best in the city.
00:21:16He comes highly recommended.
00:21:17Only the best for you, my love.
00:21:23I'm happy to share.
00:21:24Prepare your favorite.
00:21:25Don't you worry.
00:21:27May I?
00:21:29So, where's Amber?
00:21:30I thought she'd be staying here.
00:21:32They are keeping her overnight in the hospital for observation.
00:21:35Really?
00:21:37Gosh, I hope she pulls through.
00:21:39What's her diagnosis?
00:21:40I think she has a growth of some kind.
00:21:42Yeah, definitely some kind of growth.
00:21:45You know, I have a feeling that she'll get better in nine months.
00:21:52Listen, babe.
00:21:55Sorry I pushed the wedding.
00:21:58I got so caught up in work,
00:22:00I lost sight of what's important.
00:22:02Really?
00:22:04Amber got in my head,
00:22:05but you're my priority.
00:22:07Your steak, sir.
00:22:12Steak?
00:22:12Sure.
00:22:13Your favorite.
00:22:14Five years, Nathan.
00:22:16We were together for five years.
00:22:19And?
00:22:20I'm a vegetarian.
00:22:22Are you sure?
00:22:24And for the lovely lady,
00:22:26spaghetti pomodoro.
00:22:28That's not right.
00:22:29She ordered a steak.
00:22:30No, this is my favorite meal.
00:22:33How did you know?
00:22:34Courtesy of Mr. Roberts.
00:22:37He'd like to pay for tonight's dinner
00:22:38and sends his congratulations on your wedding.
00:22:42I guess it's the least he could do.
00:22:44Well, it was a little early.
00:22:46I'm not even married yet.
00:22:47He's talking about our wedding.
00:22:49Hmm?
00:22:50It was a mistake coming here.
00:22:53Emma, wait, wait!
00:22:54My life is a wreck.
00:22:58Global entertainment is going up in flames.
00:23:00How is that my problem?
00:23:02You dug your own grave.
00:23:03Please!
00:23:05I need you to put out a statement
00:23:06saying the whole Go-On thing was your idea.
00:23:08That you broke the bracelet to get attention.
00:23:11Absolutely not!
00:23:12God, I am so sick of taking the blame
00:23:14for your mistakes!
00:23:16You have manipulated me enough.
00:23:17Goodbye, Nathan.
00:23:21Blah, blah, blah.
00:23:22I don't want to hear that.
00:23:23No!
00:23:24Hmm.
00:23:25Uh, I'm going to have to call you back.
00:23:30Here.
00:23:35Oh, God.
00:23:36What is that?
00:23:37Irish coffee.
00:23:38Without the coffee.
00:23:40What happened?
00:23:42Nathan!
00:23:43Just when I thought that he couldn't sink any lower?
00:23:44I never liked that guy.
00:23:48So what's the plan?
00:23:49Well, Nathan wants me to put out a statement
00:23:52about what really happened at the Bell Am show, so...
00:23:56That's exactly what we're going to do.
00:23:58Stop the presses.
00:24:00We have just received a jaw-dropping statement
00:24:03from Emma Miller's manager
00:24:05claiming that global entertainment
00:24:07forced Emma to stand in for Amber Lee
00:24:11on numerous occasions.
00:24:12Then, digitally editing the pictures
00:24:16to make it look like Amber
00:24:18did all the work.
00:24:21Shameless!
00:24:22Emma, you are a clever woman.
00:24:25They also claim that Nathan Davis
00:24:27of Global Entertainment
00:24:29has been having an affair
00:24:31with Amber
00:24:32cheating on his fiancée, Emma.
00:24:36Boom.
00:24:40Babe, calm down.
00:24:41Useless!
00:24:44I...
00:24:44I've had it!
00:24:46Nathan!
00:24:48What else do you...
00:24:49I just tried to convince Emma,
00:24:50but I can't control her.
00:24:52What else do you want from me?
00:24:53I can't...
00:24:54Nothing.
00:24:59I'm tired of watching you fail.
00:25:03It's my turn now.
00:25:04That night, when Emma returned to the honeymoon suite,
00:25:11she was stunned to find a gorgeous array of flowers from Eric.
00:25:15But little did Emma know,
00:25:17her luck was about to run out.
00:25:23Hello, Emma.
00:25:24Oh, God.
00:25:26Amber, how did you get in here?
00:25:27Oh, this little game has gone on far too long.
00:25:33I'm here to discuss the details of your unconditional surrender.
00:25:37I already told Nathan I'm not going to take the blame for the mess that you two caused.
00:25:41Yes, you are.
00:25:42You will go on live television to admit that you lied about everything.
00:25:48That you took my place and broke that bracelet on purpose.
00:25:53All in a desperate attempt to kickstart your failing career.
00:25:59And if I refuse?
00:26:01Global Enterprise will sue you and your little manager for breach of contract.
00:26:08Okay, you can't do that.
00:26:10Lisa didn't even do anything wrong.
00:26:13She didn't?
00:26:14Because you both worked for Global and...
00:26:18You leaked confidential information.
00:26:21And if that doesn't work, then we'll go for slander.
00:26:25Point being, I'll win.
00:26:28Why?
00:26:30Why are you doing this to me?
00:26:31Isn't it enough that you took my fiancé?
00:26:35I guess I just like to take out the trash.
00:26:38You're sick.
00:26:40You know, you two really deserve each other.
00:26:43Ah.
00:26:44Aw, you're just upset that you can't keep a man happy.
00:26:48You're pathetic.
00:26:50That's why Nathan chose me to carry each child.
00:26:55And Eric will get bored of you within a few days.
00:26:58And kick you to the curb, too.
00:27:00Like garbage.
00:27:02Well, this was fun.
00:27:03I will see you at the press conference.
00:27:04That night, Emma went to her friend Lisa for comfort.
00:27:10Too embarrassed and heartbroken to see Eric.
00:27:15You know I'll stand by you no matter what.
00:27:18You don't have to do this.
00:27:20Yes, I do.
00:27:21I can't have them ruin your career, too.
00:27:23Eric again?
00:27:30I almost didn't know where I went.
00:27:33Why don't you just talk to him?
00:27:35I'm sure he could help.
00:27:36I can't.
00:27:37I can't let him see me like this.
00:27:41I was right.
00:27:42I'm pathetic.
00:27:44And I can't keep expecting him to fight all my battles for him.
00:27:47You know what?
00:27:49You look a mess.
00:27:50Why don't you go get cleaned up and I will make you drink.
00:28:02Hey, listen.
00:28:03We don't know each other.
00:28:05But we both care about Emma.
00:28:07And, well...
00:28:08She needs you.
00:28:12You have money for this being.
00:28:14I know.
00:28:14She's together.
00:28:15You showed up!
00:28:16Ha!
00:28:17Oh, how the mighty tables have crumbled.
00:28:20What does that even mean?
00:28:21It means you were...
00:28:24No, I'm the one.
00:28:26Don't hurt yourself, darling.
00:28:29Well, go ahead.
00:28:32Gloat.
00:28:33You know I would, but I'm feeling a little tired.
00:28:37Being pregnant can be such hard work.
00:28:40Not that you would know.
00:28:43Okay, so...
00:28:44How are we going to do this?
00:28:46I'm going to need you to stick to the script.
00:28:49Word from her.
00:28:53Fine.
00:28:55Whatever.
00:28:55Let's do this.
00:28:56Right this way, you see.
00:28:59Emma bravely took the stage, ready to lie and publicly admit wrongdoing in order to save her friend, Lisa.
00:29:06Hello.
00:29:07Hello.
00:29:07My name is Emma Miller.
00:29:10I'm here to admit that...
00:29:12Stop!
00:29:12Emma's heart skipped a beat when she saw her husband, Eric, in the crowd.
00:29:18You don't need to do this, Emma.
00:29:27Yes, you do.
00:29:30It means the world to me that you're here, Eric.
00:29:33But this is my battle.
00:29:35I take full responsibility for the Bellown fiasco.
00:29:48It was my idea and mine alone to impersonate Amber and steal the spotlight.
00:29:55I'm truly sorry.
00:29:59Just to be clear, none of this was my, uh, global entertainment's fault.
00:30:04It was all Emma.
00:30:08Well, now I'll take any questions.
00:30:09Right here, Miss Miller, Miss Miller, right here, Miss Miller, right here, right here, right here.
00:30:13Uh, how about, uh, how about you?
00:30:15Is it true that you and billionaire playboy Eric Roberts are an item?
00:30:20Next question.
00:30:20Is it?
00:30:21Stop, stop.
00:30:22Next question.
00:30:23Stop, stop.
00:30:24Does anyone have a good question?
00:30:25Yeah, right, right, right.
00:30:29I'm getting reports that you and Mr. Roberts have been pulled up in a honeymoon suite for days.
00:30:37Now that this is all in response to your fiancé Nathan's infidelity, care to comment?
00:30:45I, um...
00:30:46Okay, no, no, no, no, no.
00:30:49Stop it.
00:30:50Stop asking questions about Emma's love life.
00:30:54She sabotaged me, you idiots.
00:30:56How are you not seeing this?
00:30:59She's the villain.
00:31:01This, this is about me, okay?
00:31:04I am the star, and I am...
00:31:06Oh, watch out!
00:31:08Oh!
00:31:09What will happen to Amber and her unborn child?
00:31:12Will Emma come out on top, or will Nathan continue to torture her?
00:31:16Can Emma and Eric find happiness?
00:31:21Emma entered the hospital, escorted only by Nathan's assistant.
00:31:25She would have to face Amber without the support of her own team.
00:31:29Gary, Amber's assistant, was guarding the door.
00:31:31So you're here to apologize, he said, looking her up and down with a sneer.
00:31:37You'll just have to wait.
00:31:38You'll just have to wait.
00:31:39Amber's resting.
00:31:40Emma looked Gary straight in the eyes.
00:31:43With a deceptively calm voice, she said,
00:31:46How dare you talk to me like that?
00:31:48Before he could respond, Amber called out from the room.
00:31:53Is that Emma?
00:31:54Come in, Emma!
00:31:55Amber was annoyed with Gary.
00:31:57Right now was not the time to be rude to her.
00:32:00And she still had the power of her family behind her,
00:32:03even if they no longer paid as much attention to her as they had when she was famous.
00:32:08Emma held her head high and walked into the room,
00:32:11not sparing another glance for Gary.
00:32:13Amber, how are you?
00:32:16Nathan told me we're going to film a live broadcast.
00:32:18Isn't that exciting, Emma?
00:32:20I'm so happy to help you show the world how sorry you are.
00:32:24Emma hesitated for a moment.
00:32:26She honestly couldn't believe how shameless Amber was.
00:32:29She was almost as bad as Nathan.
00:32:32They all knew he had asked Emma to fill in at the Bellamy show,
00:32:36but they were all still trying to pretend that it had been Emma's idea.
00:32:40We already prepared this scene, Gary said.
00:32:44In just a moment, the doctor will come in to change Amber's bandages.
00:32:47You'll have the opportunity to show how sorry you are by helping Amber wash her feet.
00:32:52That's enough, Emma snapped.
00:32:55We all know what really happened.
00:32:57Don't you think it's time we stop pretending you're innocent?
00:33:01Emma, what are you talking about?
00:33:03I don't understand, said Amber, opening her eyes wide.
00:33:07I can't believe my ears.
00:33:10If it wasn't for Nathan, I wouldn't put up with this.
00:33:13You know all this is your doing.
00:33:16Emma, it's bad enough you won't apologize to me.
00:33:20Do you have to be mean to me when I've done nothing wrong?
00:33:23Amber really was a good actor, even managing to look hurt as she maintained her innocence.
00:33:31Apologize to you?
00:33:32I'm never going to apologize to you.
00:33:34I have nothing to apologize for, Emma said.
00:33:38Unfortunately, she didn't realize that Gary was recording the whole scene.
00:33:43He immediately posted the video online with an attention-grabbing tagline.
00:33:48Attention-seeking disgraced model declares, I'm never going to apologize to you.
00:33:53In an instant, the wave of hate rose again, ready to come crashing down on Emma.
00:33:59Gary kept recording as Emma left the room.
00:34:03This time, Emma really has gone too far.
00:34:06Amber summoned up tears for the camera.
00:34:09Not only did she refuse to apologize, she even had the nerve to say it was all my fault.
00:34:16And that was when the war between the models really sparked off.
00:34:21Global quickly released a statement, apologizing to the public and implying that they intended to release Emma from their contract with her.
00:34:28No one would have believed that Emma's career could possibly recover from that last, devastating blow.
00:34:36But, just as it seemed that things could never get better, a collection of photos surfaced online with a caption,
00:34:44No apology necessary.
00:34:47Emma was wronged.
00:34:48The photo showed Amber and Nathan embracing and kissing passionately in Amber's hospital bed, with Amber wearing a skimpy hospital gown.
00:34:56The text posted with the photos exposed the whole story of Amber and Nathan cheating on Emma for months and manipulating her into filling in for Amber.
00:35:06And just like that, the truth was out.
00:35:10Amber and Nathan's intimate photos spread everywhere, along with the truth that Emma had acted honorably all along.
00:35:18Public opinion swung back 180 again.
00:35:22Emma, who had given up her career for love, had never once tried to make excuses for herself.
00:35:29She was so noble that she'd even taken full responsibility for the Bellamy incident.
00:35:34The tables had turned once again, but Amber did not know it yet.
00:35:39She was in her hospital room, in the middle of yet another interview.
00:35:43Just as she was saying how she actually felt sorry for Emma, the reporter's phone dinged.
00:35:50Miss Lee, she said, how do you explain these photos?
00:35:54Amber's face turned pale.
00:35:56What are those?
00:35:57She asked.
00:35:58These appear to be intimate photos of you and Nathan Davis.
00:36:02Do you want me to go into more detail about what you're doing in the photos?
00:36:06Amber froze.
00:36:07A moment ago, she had everyone's sympathy.
00:36:11Now, everyone knew she had seduced someone else's fiancée.
00:36:15Her mind went blank.
00:36:17How could she possibly get out of this situation?
00:36:20No, it's all fake.
00:36:22This must be part of Emma's plan.
00:36:23Don't film me anymore.
00:36:25Just get out.
00:36:25Go!
00:36:27Miss Lee, the reporter said.
00:36:29Just when I thought I'd seen everything in the entertainment industry,
00:36:32you've still managed to shock me.
00:36:35I'm gonna tell you this.
00:36:36There is still some justice in the world.
00:36:39I'm never going to write another negative word about Emma Miller.
00:36:43Amber began trembling.
00:36:44As soon as the reporters left, she called Nathan.
00:36:47Nathan, have you seen the photos?
00:36:50What should we do?
00:36:51It's just some photos.
00:36:53Don't panic.
00:36:53I'm working on a solution.
00:36:55He responded calmly.
00:36:56But inside, he wasn't calm at all.
00:37:00Not only was Amber's future at risk,
00:37:02the whole of Global was in trouble as well.
00:37:05And perhaps worst of all, he realized,
00:37:08he could lose Emma forever.
00:37:10Emma must be behind all this, Amber said shrilly.
00:37:14Well, maybe if you'd been nicer to her, this wouldn't have happened.
00:37:18Nathan answered angrily and hung up.
00:37:21He tried to call Emma right away,
00:37:23but her phone kept ringing out to voicemail.
00:37:26Emma was holding her phone and watching it ring.
00:37:28She was imagining how anxious Nathan must be,
00:37:32and she decided to let him stew a little longer.
00:37:35Emma, I'm outside the back entrance.
00:37:37She hadn't let Eric's call go to voicemail.
00:37:40The second she heard his deep voice,
00:37:43all her uneasiness fled.
00:37:46As she got in the car,
00:37:47her phone continued to ring and ring,
00:37:50but she ignored it and threw it into the back seat.
00:37:53You're not going to pick up?
00:37:54Eric asked, turning his handsome face to her.
00:37:58You already know the answer, Emma smirked.
00:38:01She planned to make Nathan look for her all night long.
00:38:06Eric stopped talking and focused on the road.
00:38:08Meanwhile, Emma focused on the birthmark on his earlobe.
00:38:12It made him look like he was born with an earring,
00:38:15giving him a slightly evil and dangerous aura.
00:38:17Why are you looking at me like that?
00:38:20He asked.
00:38:21Is there dirt on my face?
00:38:23Emma reached out for Eric's arm.
00:38:26Before we go to our new home,
00:38:27could you come with me somewhere?
00:38:29Of course, but after that,
00:38:32are you interested in finishing what we started last night?
00:38:35Eric's tone was casual,
00:38:37but Emma couldn't hide her nervousness.
00:38:40She wasn't sure she felt as confident
00:38:42as she had the previous night.
00:38:44Eric didn't pressure her though.
00:38:46He just continued to drive
00:38:48and enjoy the touch of her hand on his arm.
00:38:51At Emma's request,
00:38:52they headed to a park known for its beautiful
00:38:54cherry blossom trees and wonderful restaurant.
00:38:58Emma and Nathan had met at the park frequently,
00:39:00or at least had often made plans to meet there.
00:39:04Finally answering Nathan's call,
00:39:05she said,
00:39:06I'm heading to the cherry blossom park.
00:39:08Meet me under our favorite tree as soon as you can.
00:39:11I'm on my way, Nathan said immediately.
00:39:14Even though he was having an affair with Amber,
00:39:17he had never intended to stop seeing Emma.
00:39:20Where would he find another woman who was so easy to manipulate?
00:39:24He appreciated her loyalty,
00:39:26her family background,
00:39:28and her easygoing nature.
00:39:30He would be foolish to let her go.
00:39:32Emma hung up and looked at Eric.
00:39:34I have no love left for Nathan, she said.
00:39:37Without a word,
00:39:39he patted the seat beside him,
00:39:41gesturing for Emma to sit.
00:39:42The two of them looked out the window at the scenery below.
00:39:46Not long after,
00:39:47an anxious figure appeared beneath her favorite cherry blossom tree.
00:39:51Nathan had arrived.
00:39:54She had stood under that tree so many times,
00:39:57naively waiting all day for him to show up.
00:40:00Most of the time,
00:40:01she had waited in vain.
00:40:03She couldn't believe how badly she let him treat her.
00:40:06He had stood her up,
00:40:08toyed with her,
00:40:09and then betrayed her.
00:40:10But now,
00:40:12it was his turn to suffer.
00:40:14Will this make you feel better?
00:40:16Eric asked as the two of them continued to look at the sad figure below.
00:40:20It's a start.
00:40:22I want him to experience everything he made me go through.
00:40:25The big things,
00:40:27and the small ones.
00:40:28With long,
00:40:29powerful fingers,
00:40:31Eric reached for Emma's chin.
00:40:32Turning her face to his,
00:40:34he saw a woman who was delicate on the outside,
00:40:38but had an inner core of steel.
00:40:41I ordered foie gras,
00:40:42she said.
00:40:43The waiter said it was quite good.
00:40:45Eric released her from his grasp,
00:40:47and let out a surprise smile.
00:40:49How did you know that I liked that?
00:40:51I have my ways,
00:40:53she said.
00:40:54Emma gestured for the waiter to start serving.
00:40:56Let's eat while we chat.
00:40:58Nathan remained standing along under the tree,
00:41:01while Emma and Eric enjoyed their meal and their glances.
00:41:05She might look unassuming,
00:41:07but she isn't weak,
00:41:08he thought.
00:41:09Time passed quickly for the couple,
00:41:11as Nathan continued to wait outside.
00:41:14He kept calling Emma,
00:41:15but she had turned her phone off.
00:41:18Finally,
00:41:18the two finished their meal.
00:41:20Eric took a last glance down at Nathan and asked,
00:41:24Do you want to continue watching him wait?
00:41:26No,
00:41:27I want you to help me move into your house.
00:41:30Eric paid the bill,
00:41:32escorted Emma out through the side door,
00:41:34and drove her to her home.
00:41:36She'd asked for five minutes alone in the house
00:41:38to remove all traces of her relationship with Nathan.
00:41:42To be honest,
00:41:43there wasn't much.
00:41:44Nathan had never left any of his belongings there.
00:41:47While she packed,
00:41:49Eric looked around.
00:41:49He found a huge photo in the living room
00:41:52of Emma receiving a modeling trophy.
00:41:54If she hadn't retreated from the industry,
00:41:57he thought,
00:41:57she would have been an international superstar by now.
00:42:01A few minutes later,
00:42:02she emerged from her bedroom
00:42:04with a teddy bear and a small bag.
00:42:06I'm ready.
00:42:08You don't want anything else?
00:42:10No,
00:42:10let's leave the memories behind.
00:42:13Eric took the bag and the teddy bear
00:42:14and placed them on the sofa.
00:42:16He said,
00:42:17Let's leave the rest for when we get home.
00:42:20But for now,
00:42:20has my kiss helped you to make some better final memories here?
00:42:25Back at the park,
00:42:26Nathan waited for four hours.
00:42:29He had planned to stay all night if that's what it took.
00:42:32But then Amber called.
00:42:34Nathan,
00:42:35where are you?
00:42:36I'm waiting outside your house.
00:42:37I need you.
00:42:38Why are those photos of us still all over the web?
00:42:41I'm going to be destroyed.
00:42:43Nathan rushed home.
00:42:45Seeing Amber standing pitifully on one foot outside his door,
00:42:48he couldn't help but run to her.
00:42:51I won't let you be destroyed.
00:42:53And I won't let Global be destroyed.
00:42:55Nathan,
00:42:56you're all I have.
00:42:58Don't leave me and the baby.
00:43:00Nathan tried his best to comfort and reassure her.
00:43:03That night,
00:43:04he ordered his staff to release a statement
00:43:06saying that the pictures of the two of them
00:43:08that had been posted earlier in the day
00:43:10were misleading.
00:43:12The truth,
00:43:13so the statement said,
00:43:14was that Amber had been standing on one foot
00:43:17due to her injury and had lost her balance.
00:43:20She had fallen into Nathan's arms
00:43:22and they had landed on the bed together.
00:43:24After Global's PR team released their statement,
00:43:28Nathan paid a few social influencers
00:43:30to post glowing reviews of his company
00:43:33and of Amber.
00:43:35Over the next three days,
00:43:36he contacted everyone he could think of
00:43:38to clean up Amber's image
00:43:40and to cast blame on Emma.
00:43:42He could only hope that the public
00:43:44would soon forget his latest scandal
00:43:46and Amber would be able to return to work.
00:43:50His goal was to position Amber
00:43:51to win the Top 10 Model Award
00:43:54and then announce she would be leaving the country to study.
00:43:57She could have her child away
00:43:59from the prying eyes of the public.
00:44:01Nathan really was infatuated with Amber,
00:44:04so he was willing to go to great lengths
00:44:06to make this plan work.
00:44:08And once she was acknowledged as a top model,
00:44:11she would be very profitable for global entertainment.
00:44:15Emma's manager read through the latest global press release
00:44:18with a shake of her head.
00:44:19She'd come over to Emma's apartment
00:44:21to plan their next move,
00:44:23but was surprised to find that Emma wasn't home.
00:44:27Feeling confused, she called Emma.
00:44:29Where are you?
00:44:31Emma had just started filling the tub at Eric's house.
00:44:34She laughed and said,
00:44:36I haven't had the chance to tell you.
00:44:38I moved.
00:44:39Where did you move to?
00:44:41Does Nathan know?
00:44:42Emma turned around and looked at Eric,
00:44:44who had just entered the bathroom.
00:44:46Not realizing she was on the phone,
00:44:48he said in that deep voice of his,
00:44:51Is it bath time yet?
00:44:53On the other side of the line,
00:44:55Lisa heard the voice and asked in disbelief,
00:44:58Who are you with?
00:44:59Are you safe?
00:45:00Is someone taking advantage of your situation?
00:45:03Beginning to sound frantic, she said,
00:45:05You don't need to rely on some strange man to take care of you.
00:45:09Tell me where you are and I'll come get you right now.
00:45:11Emma didn't know what to say.
00:45:13She put her phone on mute and said,
00:45:15My manager seems to think I need help.
00:45:18I'd like to talk with her in person and explain what's going on.
00:45:21Do you trust her completely?
00:45:24Eric had already found out quite a lot about Lisa.
00:45:27He knew that she was passionate and loyal,
00:45:30but scatterbrained at times.
00:45:32Of course.
00:45:34Then let me send someone to pick her up and bring her here.
00:45:37Emma thought about it carefully,
00:45:39and then told Lisa she would send a car for her.
00:45:42Lisa paced back and forth while she waited.
00:45:45What on earth was going on?
00:45:47Had Emma willingly gone off with some other man?
00:45:50Was it someone in the entertainment industry?
00:45:53Didn't she know how dangerous that was?
00:45:56They all wanted the same thing.
00:45:57One night of fun to be forgotten about the next day.
00:46:02Lisa was fuming by the time Luke, Eric's assistant, arrived.
00:46:06Please get in the car.
00:46:07I'm here to take you to see Emma.
00:46:09If anything has happened to Emma,
00:46:11I will do some serious physical harm to you and your boss, she threatened.
00:46:15Let's not talk about who's going to hurt who.
00:46:18Just get in the car.
00:46:20Lisa glared at Luke as she got in the car
00:46:23and kept glaring throughout the ride,
00:46:25keeping up a steady stream of threats about what would happen
00:46:28if even one hair on Emma's head had been harmed.
00:46:32But as the car approached one of the most expensive streets in Tribeca,
00:46:37Lisa grew silent in shock.
00:46:40Just who the hell is your boss?
00:46:42She said weakly.
00:46:44You'll find out once you get inside.
00:46:46He replied in an annoyed tone.
00:46:49He could have a bit of a temper too.
00:46:51Lisa started to worry.
00:46:52She'd have to be very careful.
00:46:55Whoever lived there probably had a lot of power to go along with their money.
00:46:59Luke escorted Lisa out of the car and led her into the building.
00:47:03She remained quiet as the elevator opened up to a palatial living room
00:47:07where Emma was waiting on the sofa.
00:47:10Even without any makeup, she was stunning,
00:47:13as was the view of Manhattan out the window behind her.
00:47:16Emma, what's going on?
00:47:18You don't really live here, do you?
00:47:20Lisa, there's something I need to tell you,
00:47:23but I don't want you to be upset.
00:47:25Emma motioned Lisa to sit on the sofa next to her.
00:47:28Tell me, do you have a new boyfriend?
00:47:31No.
00:47:32Emma shook her head, holding back a smile.
00:47:35I'm married.
00:47:36After a long pause, Lisa burst out.
00:47:40What did you say?
00:47:41You're married?
00:47:42Who are you married to?
00:47:43What are you talking about?
00:47:45Interrupting her barrage of questions,
00:47:48Eric came into the room.
00:47:50Hello, Lisa, he said.
00:47:52To her surprise, he walked over to Emma,
00:47:54leaned over affectionately, and whispered gently into her ear.
00:47:58I know, she responded.
00:48:00I'll only be about a half an hour.
00:48:01See you later, Lisa, he said, and headed back out of the room.
00:48:05Lisa froze in disbelief.
00:48:08Emma, pinch me.
00:48:09I want to know if I'm dreaming.
00:48:11Are you married to Eric Roberts, the CEO of Kaleidoscope?
00:48:15Um, yeah.
00:48:17For real?
00:48:18Yes, you're not hallucinating.
00:48:21It's really him.
00:48:22My new husband, Emma said.
00:48:24Lisa's mood changed from distress to excitement.
00:48:28Emma, this is such a great surprise.
00:48:30I can't believe it.
00:48:31I'm cured.
00:48:32You're cured?
00:48:34Yes, I'm cured of my hatred for your mystery, man.
00:48:37You totally made the right decision.
00:48:39If you're going to get married to someone,
00:48:41it shouldn't be to that piece of trash, Nathan.
00:48:44Ooh, when he finds out?
00:48:46God, that'll be so satisfying.
00:48:49I'm not planning to announce my relationship with Eric just yet,
00:48:53Emma explained calmly and confidently.
00:48:56With his help, I know my career could advance by leaps and bounds.
00:49:01But I don't want anyone to say that my success is due to being his wife.
00:49:05Three years ago, I became a top model in New York through my own hard work.
00:49:10I'm confident I can do it again.
00:49:12If you're still willing to help me, then let's do this together.
00:49:16But if you want to move on, I won't pressure you.
00:49:19I'll even help you find another position at a better company.
00:49:22Of course, I'll stand by your side.
00:49:25I want to become the manager of the next international supermodel,
00:49:29Lisa replied enthusiastically.
00:49:31But are you planning to stay at Global Entertainment?
00:49:34What do you think?
00:49:36Emma gave Lisa a look, letting her figure out the answer herself.
00:49:40Nathan has used me over and over, and I plan to make him pay.
00:49:46Lisa burst out laughing as she leaned into Emma.
00:49:49Emma, I never knew you could be so sneaky.
00:49:53So what's the next move?
00:49:54Should we release the video?
00:49:56No, let's secure the spokesperson deal first.
00:49:59To be precise, let's take what should have been mine right out of Amber's hands.
00:50:04Afterwards, when Amber's fans are complaining, then we'll release the video.
00:50:09In the meantime, can you help edit the clips from the Bella Me show and post them online?
00:50:14Of course, leave it to me.
00:50:15Lisa was impressed with the changes she was seeing in Emma.
00:50:20Who knew she could be this powerful?
00:50:22The next morning, the war between the two models was already old news,
00:50:27and the rumors about Nathan and Amber had been buried under Global's newest press releases.
00:50:32Interestingly, Emma's straightforward response to the media had an unexpected benefit.
00:50:37She gained a huge number of new fans, who were now searching online for her old appearances and photos.
00:50:45Amber and Nathan had failed to notice that Emma's popularity was on the rise.
00:50:50Her performance with the Crown star during the Bella Me show had been spectacular.
00:50:56Her new fans felt that she should get the recognition she deserved,
00:51:00so they shared her videos online and bombarded Bella Me with fan mail.
00:51:05Based on the fans' reactions, Bella Me's founder, Julius Taylor, began watching the videos of Emma's performance.
00:51:13He was amazed by her beauty and suddenly realized that the model he'd been so angry with
00:51:19was the perfect match for his jewelry.
00:51:22It was like they were made for each other.
00:51:24Now that he had the time to calm down, he realized that Emma's elegance and professionalism
00:51:30were infinitely better for representing the Crown star than Amber had ever been.
00:51:37Ironically, because Emma had admitted wrongdoing, Julius even felt he could now trust her.
00:51:43He called a meeting at Bella Me to discuss changing the spokesperson.
00:51:48After watching the videos, the group reached the only possible conclusion.
00:51:52Emma had to be the next spokesperson.
00:51:55Julius called the head of global entertainment.
00:51:58Mr. Taylor, Nathan said as he answered the phone.
00:52:02Amber has almost completely recovered from her injuries and should be able to represent your company very soon.
00:52:08I'm not calling about that, Mr. Davis.
00:52:11Bella Me has decided to change spokespersons.
00:52:14We would like Emma to step in for Amber, he said.
00:52:17Nathan didn't know how to react.
00:52:19Mr. Taylor, I don't think that's right.
00:52:23We haven't signed the contract yet.
00:52:25If you're not willing to have Emma serve as the spokesperson,
00:52:28we would prefer to cancel this collaboration and work with another company.
00:52:32But we have other models, ones that are more famous than Amber.
00:52:36We only want Emma.
00:52:38Taylor had made up his mind, leaving Nathan with no choice.
00:52:42This deal was supposed to have cleared Amber's path to the Top 10 Model Award.
00:52:46Telling her she was no longer the spokesperson was going to be tricky.
00:52:51The news quickly spread to Lisa, who called Emma right away.
00:52:55Emma!
00:52:56Emma!
00:52:56You got the deal!
00:52:58She yelled over the phone.
00:53:00Don't get ahead of yourself, Lisa.
00:53:02Amber isn't going to just let this deal slip away.
00:53:05News of Bella Me's request to change spokespersons quickly spread throughout the entertainment industry.
00:53:11Eric heard the news and realized that Emma had successfully taken back her position from Amber.
00:53:17It would barely have registered on the radar as an impressive contract for any of his models.
00:53:23But he knew it was a huge deal for Emma.
00:53:26He called her immediately.
00:53:28You did well.
00:53:29I'm very impressed.
00:53:31She laughed and responded,
00:53:33Getting that compliment from you makes me happier than anything else.
00:53:37I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll do next, he said.
00:53:42She simply responded,
00:53:44So am I.
00:53:45But for now, she needed to return to Global and face Amber.
00:53:50Amber was fast asleep at Nathan's home, not yet aware of Bella Me's decision.
00:53:55She'd headed straight to his place from the hospital and demanded his undivided attention all night,
00:54:01refusing to let him call Emma.
00:54:03She was determined not to lose anything that was hers,
00:54:07and especially not to Emma, who always seemed to be waiting just around the corner.
00:54:12She was awoken by her assistant banging on the door.
00:54:16Finally, she reluctantly rolled out of the comfortable bed,
00:54:20pulled a dressing gown around her, and opened the door just a crack.
00:54:24Gary was impatient and flustered.
00:54:26Without speaking, he shoved the door further open with his elbow
00:54:30and held out his phone to show her the screen, already open to the entertainment news.
00:54:36Her first reaction was disbelief.
00:54:39What the hell is this?
00:54:40Bella Me already chose me.
00:54:42They can't go back on it now.
00:54:44Amber, this has already happened.
00:54:47Bella Me called Nathan and personally told him to make Emma the spokesperson,
00:54:51or they would find another company.
00:54:53Gary jabbed his finger at the phone.
00:54:56What did Emma do?
00:54:57How did she make this happen?
00:54:58We're going to Global to talk to Nathan in person, Amber said.
00:55:03She knew that if she just called him, he would say he was too busy to talk to her.
00:55:08Her best option was just to go down to the office and force him to deal with her face to face.
00:55:14Nathan was sitting in his office, feeling wrung out.
00:55:18Bella Me were adamant about signing Emma instead of Amber,
00:55:21and he couldn't lose the deal, but he knew how upset Amber would be.
00:55:26While he was still trying to figure out what he could say to Amber,
00:55:30she showed up at his office in the wheelchair the hospital had provided for her recovery.
00:55:35Nathan, what's going on?
00:55:37How could my deal be going to Emma instead?
00:55:40He bent down awkwardly to hug her.
00:55:43Amber, it's beyond my control, but I promise I'll help you secure an even better deal.
00:55:48She angrily pushed him away.
00:55:51I don't want another deal.
00:55:53You know as well as I do that Julius Taylor's sister is on the judging panel for the Top 10 Model Awards.
00:56:00This deal was really important to me.
00:56:03How could you just hand it over to Emma?
00:56:05She's already stolen you from me.
00:56:07Isn't that enough?
00:56:08Why is she trying to take everything from me like this?
00:56:12If I lose this deal, I'm not going through with your plan to leave the country to have our child,
00:56:17and I won't stay a global either.
00:56:19Don't say that, Amber.
00:56:21We need to stick with what we've planned.
00:56:23You know I'm on your side.
00:56:25Why does she need this deal anyway?
00:56:28As far as she knows, she's about to marry you.
00:56:30I bet you could get her to change your mind if you really tried.
00:56:34Emma's given in to pressure easily enough in the past.
00:56:37Maybe I could convince her to give up the deal with Bellamy, Nathan thought.
00:56:43I'll speak to her.
00:56:44Don't cry, honey.
00:56:45It'll all be okay.
00:56:47Amber reached out for Nathan, sobbing.
00:56:50Just then, Emma knocked on the door.
00:56:53Amber immediately stopped crying and pulled away from Nathan with a fierce, bitter expression on her face.
00:56:59Emma, where were you?
00:57:01Don't you know I was looking for you all night?
00:57:03He asked.
00:57:04Emma glanced at him and then at Amber as Nathan continued.
00:57:08It was all just a misunderstanding between Amber and me, and I've already released a statement to clear it up.
00:57:14You don't need to make such a fuss.
00:57:17Emma knew very well what he meant by looking for her all night.
00:57:21He had obviously searched so hard, he'd ended up searching in his bed with Amber.
00:57:26Otherwise, he would have noticed that she was no longer living at her old place.
00:57:31Calmly, she met his eyes and said,
00:57:34Well, it's too bad that the problem between me and Amber isn't just a misunderstanding.
00:57:40I've helped out covering for her so many times in the past few years.
00:57:44But she turned around and stabbed me in the back the first chance she got.
00:57:48Do you both really think I'm that easy to push around?
00:57:52Emma, Amber was worried and stressed with all the media attention.
00:57:56She did the only thing she thought she could.
00:57:59Emma raised her eyebrows skeptically, but Nathan didn't notice and carried on.
00:58:05Look, that's not the issue right now.
00:58:07That incident is all over.
00:58:09It's water under the bridge.
00:58:10Please, let's forget about it.
00:58:13I have something else I want to talk to you about.
00:58:15I want you to turn down the spokesperson deal with Bellamy.
00:58:19Getting that deal is very important to Amber.
00:58:21You've already stepped away from the spotlight, so you don't need this kind of exposure.
00:58:27He spoke straightforwardly, as if it was already a done deal that Emma would agree.
00:58:32That contract was always meant to be mine, Amber added.
00:58:36Bellamy only suggested you because of my injuries, but as you can see, I'm almost recovered.
00:58:41And besides, you haven't done a show for so long, you probably can't even walk a runway anymore.
00:58:47You don't want to look like some stand-in, do you?
00:58:50That's a bit ironic, you asking that question of me, don't you think?
00:58:55Emma responded coldly.
00:58:57Emma, what's gotten into you?
00:58:59Nathan snapped.
00:59:00If you love me, you won't take this deal.
00:59:03Global needs Amber to win the top 10 model competition as a reputation boost.
00:59:08And the best way for her to win is by signing this deal with Bellamy.
00:59:13Amber laughed to herself.
00:59:14She was confident Emma would do anything for Nathan, even if it meant giving up such a lucrative deal.
00:59:20Nathan, quick, give Bellamy a call, she said.
00:59:23Let them know Emma's too busy planning her wedding and can't take on any new jobs.
00:59:28Nathan nodded, reaching for the phone.
00:59:31But just as he picked it up, Emma stopped him.
00:59:34You're too late.
00:59:35I've already accepted the offer.
00:59:37Emma, Nathan exclaimed in shock.
00:59:40She had never pushed back against any of his decisions before.
00:59:45I spoke to Mr. Taylor this morning, she continued.
00:59:48We're both really looking forward to working together.
00:59:51Emma, I'm the president of Global Entertainment.
00:59:54I make the decisions, not you.
00:59:57Nathan was furious.
00:59:59Why are you insisting on taking Amber's deal?
01:00:03You think this was my idea?
01:00:05Bellamy asked for me and said they would take their business elsewhere unless I stepped up.
01:00:10I took the deal for your sake, so Global wouldn't be left with nothing.
01:00:14You know, I hadn't believed the rumors about you and Amber.
01:00:18But if you'd rather take a loss like that than have me be the spokesperson,
01:00:22then maybe the two of you do have something going on after all.
01:00:26Of course not, he denied hastily.
01:00:29I can't believe you'd say such a thing.
01:00:30It's just that, since we're going to get married and start a family soon,
01:00:35I figured you'd rather not take on any extra professional responsibilities.
01:00:40But Emma wasn't done.
01:00:42Oh, so would you like to try explaining that to Julius Taylor?
01:00:46And what do you mean by saying that I took the deal from Amber?
01:00:50As far as I can tell, she's done all the taking.
01:00:53She's been doing it for years.
01:00:54Amber was getting angry now as well, resenting the accusations and the suggestions that she hadn't earned her own success.
01:01:03Emma, you're the one who stepped out of the limelight.
01:01:06I didn't take anything from you.
01:01:08What did you think was going to happen to your work?
01:01:10That we'd just let it go to another company?
01:01:13Fine, Emma said.
01:01:15You're right.
01:01:16If you can persuade Mr. Taylor to change his mind, I'll step down.
01:01:19Could Emma really be giving in?
01:01:23Nathan was now stuck in a difficult position.
01:01:26Emma was obviously still angry, or else she wouldn't have had the nerve to defy him like she never had before.
01:01:32And he'd promised Amber that Emma would give her back the deal.
01:01:36But ultimately, it was clear that Bellamy would take their contract somewhere else if they didn't get Emma.
01:01:42In the end, he had to protect the bottom line.
01:01:45Enough. Since Bellamy has requested Emma and Emma has already agreed, we're going with her.
01:01:52But Nathan...
01:01:54Amber whined.
01:01:55I made my decision, he snapped.
01:01:57It's time for both of you to accept it and leave.
01:02:01Emma, ask Lisa to come in when you go.
01:02:03It was clear that, even though he was left with no choice, he resented being pushed into the decision.
01:02:10Emma had a pretty good idea what Nathan was thinking.
01:02:12But if he expected her to feel bad about hurting his feelings, he was dreaming.
01:02:18Amber followed Emma out of the office, her anger continuing to boil up inside her.
01:02:24But she comforted herself that, even if Emma appeared to be making a comeback right now, she wasn't that popular yet.
01:02:31Amber planned to do everything she could to crush her.
01:02:34As soon as she saw her assistant, Gary, who was waiting in the lobby, she said,
01:02:39I want you to take a few photos of me working hard to recover and post them online.
01:02:44Let's stir up my fans' sympathy and get them to complain that Emma has stolen my deal.
01:02:49If I can't have it, I'm not going to let her take it.
01:02:52Don't you worry, Gary said.
01:02:54I know exactly what to do.
01:02:56Emma found Lisa waiting in her office and said,
01:02:59Nathan wants to talk to you.
01:03:01Don't be too nervous.
01:03:02Nervous? Are you kidding me?
01:03:04Who do you think I am?
01:03:06Lisa rolled her eyes.
01:03:08It's not my first day on the job, you know.
01:03:10If he thinks I'm just some pushover he can tear down, he's in for a shock.
01:03:15She headed into Nathan's office, a fierce expression on her face.
01:03:19She was not going to hold back.
01:03:21Nathan thrust a pile of papers in front of Lisa.
01:03:24I'm terminating your agreement with Global.
01:03:27You need to leave the premises.
01:03:28And you should make preparations to compensate us for breach of contract.
01:03:32Leave?
01:03:33Lisa laughed.
01:03:34Nathan, you must have a bad memory.
01:03:36When I first signed my contract, my salary was clearly stated alongside Emma's appearance fees.
01:03:42With all the work you've let Amber steal from her, I haven't once gotten paid as much as my contract stipulates.
01:03:48And the posts I made were all in Emma's best interests, ultimately benefiting the company.
01:03:54I did nothing wrong.
01:03:56If anyone should be worrying about breach of contract, it's you.
01:04:00You.
01:04:01Nathan couldn't believe his ears.
01:04:04If you weren't afraid of making Global's situation worse, we can always take this to court.
01:04:09I'm fine with that.
01:04:10But you might want to think about the rest of the industry losing trust in your brand.
01:04:14She paused to let her words sink in.
01:04:18Look, Nathan, I obviously won't be staying, but I don't want to leave on bad terms.
01:04:23Let's make this as painless as possible.
01:04:26What do you want?
01:04:28He muttered through gritted teeth.
01:04:30I'll agree to leave Global without a fuss, and you'll let all of this drop.
01:04:34You won't come after me for any kind of compensation, and from now on, we don't owe each other anything.
01:04:40He glared at her angrily, but recognized that this was the only option he had left.
01:04:46Fine.
01:04:46Just leave.
01:04:48I don't want to see you again.
01:04:50Nathan, let me give you a warning.
01:04:52There is no wall thick enough to block out what you've got coming to you.
01:04:56You'll be paying for the way you treated Emma for a very long time.
01:05:01Nathan glared at her as she walked out of the door with the now worthless paperwork he'd based his whole plan on.
01:05:07He grabbed his desk and flipped it over, scattering the contents all over the floor.
01:05:13Instead of leaving the building, Lisa went back to Emma's office,
01:05:17where the two of them celebrated the success of this part of the plan and set to work plotting their next steps.
01:05:23When Nathan left his office to take a break, they ran straight into each other.
01:05:29Why are you still here?
01:05:30He asked.
01:05:31Emma froze for a moment.
01:05:33Then she replied,
01:05:34I just hired Lisa.
01:05:35Emma, what are you talking about?
01:05:37It's Global's call who will be managing you, not yours.
01:05:41She was driving him crazy.
01:05:44Oh, I didn't hire Lisa to be my manager.
01:05:46I hired her to be my assistant.
01:05:48It's in my contracts that I can hire my own assistant, isn't it?
01:05:52Emma smiled sweetly.
01:05:54Lisa has looked after me so well for so long.
01:05:57She's the only person I trust to understand what I need to do a good job.
01:06:02Nathan pulled her aside, out of Lisa's earshot.
01:06:05Emma, what's wrong with you?
01:06:07Are you doing this just to spite me?
01:06:10Not everything is about you, Nathan.
01:06:12But for your information, Lisa is a lot more thoughtful than you
01:06:16and has never accused me of stealing anything from anybody.
01:06:20He looked at her coldly.
01:06:22Emma, you've always supported my career before.
01:06:25I don't understand what's going on.
01:06:28I told you, that whole mess with the crown star was the last time I'll ever take the blame for you or Amber.
01:06:34She remained calm, her voice steady and firm, her eyes completely emotionless.
01:06:41Nathan took a deep breath.
01:06:43If you're really going to be this childish, maybe we should call off our wedding, he hissed.
01:06:49He was sure that this tactic would make Emma apologize and regret ever trying to go up against him.
01:06:55She remained silent for a few moments, allowing him to believe that his threat was sinking in and she would cave.
01:07:02He could never have anticipated the response she was about to give.
01:07:06You don't want to get married anymore?
01:07:08Okay, we won't, Emma said with a pleasant smile.
01:07:12Let's wait until you're not busy.
01:07:14We can talk more later.
01:07:16Nathan was in shock.
01:07:18He reached out and grabbed Emma's shoulder.
01:07:21Don't you love me anymore?
01:07:23What about you?
01:07:24Do you love me?
01:07:26Emma carefully slipped out of his grasp, mindful of her promise to Eric not to get too close to another man.
01:07:31Nathan was stunned into silence.
01:07:35He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
01:07:37The truth was he had never had any real feelings for Emma.
01:07:41But he wasn't ready to give up his hold over her just yet.
01:07:45How can you even question my love?
01:07:48He finally said.
01:07:49Of course I want to marry you.
01:07:52I just wish you would think a little about all the stress I'm under.
01:07:55It hasn't been easy trying to get Amber into the running for the top 10 model awards.
01:08:00It's frustrating that you can't be more understanding.
01:08:04Emma slowly distanced herself from him, remaining composed.
01:08:09Well, if we're going to get married, you'll have to get used to me.
01:08:12This is who I am from now on.
01:08:15She left him standing there alone as she left the building.
01:08:19Nathan stood still for a while, trying to figure things out.
01:08:23He couldn't understand why Emma's attitude had changed so much.
01:08:27But after some thought, he decided she was just jealous of Amber.
01:08:32He didn't have the energy to chase after her and try and talk things out.
01:08:36After she cools down, she'll get over it, he thought, soothing things over with Amber, who was still very upset.
01:08:44Emma put Nathan to Eric.
01:08:45The very thought of seeing him made her horror worth signing the Bellamy contract and then straight off for an out-of-town commercial shoot.
01:08:54Lisa, would you be up for cancelling the lease on your apartment and moving into my old home, rent-free?
01:09:00You can go ahead and change the locks.
01:09:02If Nathan asks, you could just say that you've moved in to work more closely with me, and he can't have a key anymore.
01:09:09Tomorrow, I'll sign a new contract with you.
01:09:11That works for me.
01:09:13It'll save me some money, if nothing else.
01:09:14After a pause, Lisa looked at Emma with a smirk.
01:09:18The mighty president of Kaleidoscope.
01:09:21How are things going there?
01:09:23Don't be so nosy, Emma replied, refusing to meet her friend's eyes.
01:09:28When Emma got to Eric's place, he wasn't back yet.
01:09:31She made her way into the kitchen and found his personal chef preparing dinner.
01:09:36Please, let me help, she said.
01:09:38There's no need.
01:09:39I wouldn't want to trouble you, the chef.
01:09:41An amicable middle-aged woman answered.
01:09:44How about this instead, Emma suggested.
01:09:47Please, let me give you the rest of the day off, and I'll cook dinner for Eric tonight.
01:09:53After some persuasion, Emma ushered the chef out of the kitchen and started her own cooking.
01:09:59Eric didn't get home until late at night.
01:10:01Not seeing Emma at first, he followed his nose to the kitchen.
01:10:05He was surprised to see her standing at the stove wearing an apron.
01:10:09After a moment, admiring her long, slender legs, he quietly approached her.
01:10:15Eric, careful, I'm cooking.
01:10:17Don't you want to eat?
01:10:19Mr. Eric Roberts, CEO of Kaleidoscope, can cook?
01:10:23Emma asked, raising her eyebrows.
01:10:25You know, this one time is okay, he said softly.
01:10:30But from now on, no more cooking for you.
01:10:32You shouldn't have to put in all this work, and it would be a tragedy if you scalded yourself.
01:10:37I'm quite capable of taking care of myself in the kitchen, she said playfully, touched by his concern.
01:10:44They continued preparing their dinner together.
01:10:47It turned out that Eric was actually quite an accomplished cook.
01:10:50When the meal was ready, they took a moment to admire the gorgeous spread they'd put together.
01:10:56It felt special, like something not just any couple could do in such perfect sync.
01:11:01As they sat down to enjoy their meal together, Emma said,
01:11:05Tomorrow, I'm headed to Seattle for a commercial shoot.
01:11:08I'm not sure how long the trip will be, but I definitely won't be home tomorrow night.
01:11:13Are you signing the contract with Bellamy tomorrow?
01:11:16Will you be leaving right after that?
01:11:18Yes, Bellamy wants to launch their new product as soon as possible, she said.
01:11:23Eric, I'll need some time, but I know that I can rise to a position that you'll be proud of.
01:11:29I'm already proud of you, but I have no doubt that you can reach the most dizzying heights of the industry,
01:11:36he responded, placing a morsel of food on Emma's plate.
01:11:40Not only was he looking forward to seeing her advance,
01:11:43he was also gleefully anticipating just how miserable Nathan and Amber would be.
01:11:49Emma and Eric, their lives now intertwined, embark on a new chapter.
01:11:56Emma's career takes flight, fueled by ambition and a newfound confidence.
01:12:00But as she ascends the corporate ladder, can she truly leave the past behind?
01:12:06Will Nathan ever truly accept Emma's independence?
01:12:10And what unforeseen challenges await this dynamic duo as they navigate the complexities of love,
01:12:17ambition, and the ever-shifting sands of the entertainment industry?
01:12:20Will Emma's career flourish?
01:12:24Or will the pressures of success strain her relationship with Eric?
01:12:28How will Nathan react to Emma's growing success and her blossoming relationship with Eric?
01:12:33Hey, I'm Emma.
