Landon Kensington was handsome, wealthy, and accomplished, slated to inherit the prestigious Kensington Group. In high - society circles, it was common knowledge that he had a “white moon” - a kept woman he doted on. It was also known that he had a wife, Leila Sinclair, the adopted daughter of the Kensington family and a woman who was mute. She was entirely dependent on him, much like a doddering vine clinging to a tree. He had assumed that his little mute wife would never have the courage to leave him. But one day, she placed a divorce agreement before him, and the usually composed Landon finally panicked...

00:00:00Today is her third wedding anniversary. Will he come back?
00:00:05I told you marrying me means this is non-negotiable.
00:00:09Three years of marriage, and I've been nothing more than a soulless object for his pleasure.
00:00:13I can't cry, I can't fight. Please let me keep this child.
00:00:17What if the child is a mute too? I'm embarrassed enough to have you in my family.
00:00:21Well, if it wasn't for that little mute, I would be Mrs. Kensington.
00:00:25You need to find your own way home.
00:00:27Don't.
00:00:28This should have never existed.
00:00:30How many times did I tell you not to see Rose, and you don't listen?
00:00:34Everything that you own belongs to me.
00:00:36You leave with nothing.
00:00:40Abandoned again.
00:00:42How many times now?
00:00:44Yep, 12 times.
00:00:46Landon, do you know I can only forgive you 17 times?
00:00:50I will protect you forever.
00:00:53I won't fall into your traps again. Not anymore.
00:00:57Landon, let's divorce.
00:00:59What did you just say?
00:01:01I said, let's divorce.
00:01:09Today is our third wedding anniversary.
00:01:11Will he come back?
00:01:15I guess he won't.
00:01:16You're back.
00:01:26You're back.
00:01:35No.
00:01:35Three years of marriage, and I've been nothing more than a soulless object for his pleasure.
00:01:46I can't cry.
00:01:47I can't fight.
00:01:48Hey, listen, Claire.
00:01:51Look at me.
00:01:53Will fulfill your duty as my wife.
00:01:57Then will you fulfill your duty as my husband?
00:01:59Don't tell me you've fallen for me.
00:02:06Have you forgotten?
00:02:08I've told you.
00:02:08I've told you.
00:02:08I'm only marrying you because it was Grandpa's last wish.
00:02:24Do not love me.
00:02:25Be obedient and you'll remain at Kensington for your lifetime.
00:02:28Every time we fight, you go back to that mute just to spite me.
00:02:43You saw that?
00:02:50You saw that?
00:02:51Sorry, I just saw it by a mistake.
00:02:58You should reply to her.
00:02:59I'm going to bed.
00:03:00Today is our third wedding anniversary.
00:03:23Today is our third wedding anniversary.
00:03:30What's wrong with you?
00:03:41Sorry, I burned myself.
00:03:43Why are you even doing that?
00:03:44Mrs. Green handles it.
00:03:46Mrs. Green took the day off.
00:03:47You have this sandwich every morning.
00:03:49You're such a hassle.
00:03:52It's Mother's birthday banquet tonight.
00:03:54Dress nicely.
00:03:55Don't make it look like I mistreat you.
00:03:57A hassle.
00:04:01I'm still just a hassle to you.
00:04:11Mother.
00:04:13Landon, you're here.
00:04:17You came too?
00:04:19Well, since you're here, go find a place to sit.
00:04:22And don't embarrass me.
00:04:24Mr. and Mrs. Kensington, so good to see you.
00:04:28This is from my son's baby shower.
00:04:29We would love for you to be there.
00:04:32Have you two thought about children of your own?
00:04:35It's been three years.
00:04:37Actually, a year ago, we did.
00:04:42You're going in there.
00:04:44Please let me keep this child.
00:04:45What if the child is a mute, too?
00:04:47I'm embarrassed enough to have you in my family.
00:04:50The doctor said it's a low probability.
00:04:51Oh, we're not taking the risk.
00:04:54And Landon, he agreed?
00:04:56Huh, what do you think?
00:04:57He's not here, is he?
00:05:07Oh, don't make me laugh.
00:05:10There's no way a mute's child can be the Kensington heir.
00:05:13Happy birthday to the beautiful Diana.
00:05:27Aurora, such a sweet blessing.
00:05:30Unlike some people who can't even say nice words.
00:05:36Little mute.
00:05:37You're not actually still fantasizing about having Landon's child, are you?
00:05:43Enough.
00:05:44Don't bring it up again.
00:05:45There'll be no mute as heir to the Kensington family.
00:05:49Got it?
00:05:50Yes, Mother.
00:05:51I have a matter to attend this evening, so I will not be staying for dinner.
00:05:56What did you think about what James said earlier?
00:06:04What?
00:06:05Having a child.
00:06:06Why are you acting so surprised?
00:06:15We do it every day.
00:06:16It's only going to happen again.
00:06:18Mom's right.
00:06:19We shouldn't.
00:06:20Well, I didn't use protection last night.
00:06:22It's fine.
00:06:23I took the pill.
00:06:27How fucking obedient of you.
00:06:29Aurora, what are you doing here?
00:06:37I'm heading to a store near your office.
00:06:39Give me a ride.
00:06:40Hop in.
00:06:41I'm not your customer.
00:06:42I'm not sitting in the back.
00:06:45Get out.
00:06:51Don't wander around, okay?
00:06:53Find a cab.
00:06:53What are you doing?
00:07:00What are you doing?
00:07:02Anything she touches is too dirty for me.
00:07:04You.
00:07:09Anything she touches is too dirty for me.
00:07:13You.
00:07:13Forget it.
00:07:17Forget it.
00:07:22Fucking happy now?
00:07:29Leonard, this is Leila Sinclair, your uncle's daughter.
00:07:33From now on?
00:07:33She'll be living with us.
00:07:35And you, you've got to protect her like an older brother.
00:07:40I, I will protect you forever.
00:07:51Ben's promises are only made to be broken.
00:08:05Hey, darling.
00:08:15That was perfect.
00:08:17Come on, you knew you should be my model.
00:08:19Rose, stop joking around.
00:08:21You know Landon would never say yes.
00:08:23Isn't today that old lady's birthday?
00:08:25My brother was just there.
00:08:26What are you doing out here?
00:08:27Landon had something to do,
00:08:29so I just wanted to take a walk alone.
00:08:31Don't tell me that bastard Landon ditched you again.
00:08:35You know what?
00:08:36It's perfect timing.
00:08:37Come on, let's go shopping.
00:08:44Oh no, don't tell me the car smells bad.
00:08:47You're not pregnant, are you?
00:08:48No, I, I take my pills daily.
00:08:51Maybe my stomach just hurts.
00:08:53Well, go have some fun.
00:09:01I want all of this.
00:09:03All right, you must be feeling better.
00:09:05You left me the other day to see that mute.
00:09:08I still haven't forgiven you.
00:09:10I'll get you whatever you want.
00:09:11If you behave, I will take care of you for the rest of your life.
00:09:16I want the title of Mrs. Kensington.
00:09:18Anything but that.
00:09:19Fine.
00:09:21But you owe me.
00:09:22What do you want?
00:09:23I'm bored of that seaside villa you got me.
00:09:25There's new penthouses downtown.
00:09:27I want one.
00:09:28Consider it done.
00:09:29Happy?
00:09:29Yes, of course, darling.
00:09:40Be good.
00:09:42I'm getting a call.
00:09:44Keep shopping around.
00:09:45Just get whatever you want, okay?
00:09:46All right.
00:09:47Do they have no shade?
00:09:49You're tolerating this bullshit?
00:09:54I'm used to it.
00:09:55Forget it.
00:09:56Let's just go somewhere else.
00:09:58Okay?
00:09:59Come on.
00:10:01Hmm.
00:10:03Oh!
00:10:04That'll mute.
00:10:05You saw that?
00:10:06Did your mother not teach you any manners?
00:10:09She has a name.
00:10:10Oh.
00:10:11Tell me, then.
00:10:13What's your name?
00:10:14Enough, Aurora.
00:10:16Just because Landon spoils you doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
00:10:19Well, if it wasn't for that little mute, I would be Mrs. Kensington.
00:10:22You know, Layla and Landon's marriage was arranged by the late Mr. Kensington himself.
00:10:28So, if you have a problem with it, why don't you take it up with him?
00:10:30You may be his wife, but he loves me.
00:10:34You're just the little pet he keeps around when he's in the mood.
00:10:37I'd advise you to know your place.
00:10:39Then tell him to divorce me.
00:10:40Shut up!
00:10:42You shamelessly worker.
00:10:44What the hell did you just call me?
00:10:46I said you're a mistress.
00:10:48You know that Landon is married and still you cling to him.
00:10:51What else would you call that?
00:10:53You!
00:10:53You want to fight?
00:10:55You?
00:11:00Layla?
00:11:01What are you doing here?
00:11:02I told you to go home!
00:11:04Landon!
00:11:05Are you disobeying me?
00:11:07No, I just...
00:11:08She is your wife, not your slave.
00:11:11Who are you to keep her locked up at home?
00:11:13Landon!
00:11:15The little mute wants a divorce!
00:11:17Why don't you just give it to her?
00:11:19Divorce?
00:11:24Divorce?
00:11:25And they hit me!
00:11:26You bullied Layla first!
00:11:30No, I didn't know what to do.
00:11:33Layla!
00:11:34My foot hurts!
00:11:34Can you take me to the hospital?
00:11:38Follow me!
00:11:39Rose, it's fine. I need to go home.
00:11:50Leela!
00:12:01Landon, I don't want to be in the same space as her.
00:12:04You need to find your own way home.
00:12:07Sir, it's raining. Just ignore her.
00:12:09Let's go. Listen.
00:12:18Abandoned again. How many times now?
00:12:21Yep, twelve times.
00:12:23Landon, do you know? I can only forgive you seventeen times.
00:12:34Madam!
00:12:35Mrs. Green, it's so cold. Please open the door.
00:12:39Madam, Mr. Kensington said I can't let you in.
00:12:42Here.
00:12:43Mrs.
00:12:44Take care.
00:12:50Landon, why are you so cruel?
00:13:04Ask her if she knows that she did wrong.
00:13:06Yes, sir.
00:13:07Sir, something's wrong. Madam has fainted.
00:13:16Call the doctor.
00:13:18Call the doctor.
00:13:19Call the doctor.
00:13:26Hey, my name is Mariah Nicole Boone, and I'm very excited to introduce to you the next action-packed Playlit.
00:13:32Hi, my name is Tim Stein. I play Landon Kensington in Playlit's new drama and action-packed performance.
00:13:39Hey, y'all. My name is Gage Robinson, and I play Lewis in Love in Silence on Playlit.
00:13:45Hi, my name is Chelsea Gray, and I'm playing Aurora in Love in Silence.
00:13:50Now, Aurora is going to get what she wants, and she's going to do whatever she needs to do to get it,
00:13:56and although her motivations may seem surface level, there is definitely more to her story.
00:14:02Where you can catch the twists and turns of my dark relationship with Layla Sinclair.
00:14:08Full of betrayal and drama, of course, and a little bit of passion.
00:14:13This was actually one of the most intense acting roles I've ever taken on,
00:14:17and I hope that each and every one of you can find a little bit of themselves in Layla Sinclair.
00:14:22One of my favorite things about Lewis is that he's a character that's a little bit off the beaten path of normal verticals,
00:14:27where he gets to come in and kind of be the saving grace and the voice of reason,
00:14:31especially in such a chaotic and large format script.
00:14:36Something that I really love about Lewis is how charming he is, all the while being the gentleman.
00:14:42Not somebody who wants a lot for power, greed, and money, but somebody who wants for a big heart
00:14:49and wants to help everybody else around him, including his best friend Landon.
00:14:54And make sure to catch this on Playlit.
00:14:56Catch it on Playlit.
00:14:57Catch it on Playlit.
00:14:58Catch it on Playlit.
00:14:59Catch it on Playlit.
00:15:26Oh, thank you.
00:15:32Oh, I'm sorry Miss Miller, but you don't meet the criteria to adopt Sarah.
00:15:36I told you she wasn't fit to be a mother.
00:15:40Please. I love Sarah, okay? I can provide her with a loving home.
00:15:46Our policies are clear. Without a stable marriage and financial security, there's no way they're going to let me approve this application.
00:15:56Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:16:10Where is this guy? We've been waiting for over an hour.
00:16:14Mr. Rodriguez is known for his fashion-related entrances.
00:16:18Well, I hope he comes in good spirits. This deal is crucial for our expansion.
00:16:23Speaking of company's expansions, your family has been pressuring you to get married.
00:16:29To June, right? That's never going to happen.
00:16:34You know what, Jason, go back to the office. I'll wait for Mr. Rodriguez myself.
00:16:40Yes, Robert.
00:16:41Hi, I am so sorry I'm late.
00:16:48I'm sorry, how are you?
00:16:50Oh, I'm Allison Miller. I am a handmade jewelry designer.
00:16:54So you saw my ad online for contract marriage?
00:16:58Oh, is that for me? Thanks.
00:16:59Oh, I don't really like mine with a bit more sugar.
00:17:07I'm Robert Johnson's.
00:17:10Yeah, I know your name, Robert Johnson.
00:17:12I just didn't know you'd be so hot.
00:17:15Anyway, so are you down for this?
00:17:18I mean, I know it's crazy. I mean, I won't really cause you any trouble.
00:17:20It's just a formality, really.
00:17:25Would you be willing to marry me today?
00:17:28I...
00:17:32Well, that's a bold proposal.
00:17:35But an interesting one.
00:17:37This might also be a way for me to push back against the pressure from my family.
00:17:41Well, Allison, it's definitely a first.
00:17:48But I accept your proposal.
00:17:50Really?
00:17:52Let's get married.
00:17:54Let's get married.
00:18:01Excuse me.
00:18:03Is there a woman named Allison looking for Bob Johnson?
00:18:05Can't believe this is happening.
00:18:19Yeah.
00:18:21Ready?
00:18:23Ready.
00:18:28Allison, don't take this the wrong way, but why were you so willing to marry a guy you've just met?
00:18:33There's this little girl, Sarah, and she's only five, but her foster parents views her.
00:18:43So I want to adopt her, give her the loving home that she deserves.
00:18:48But the adoption agency keeps denying me because I'm single.
00:18:53So I put up an ad for a contract marriage and Bob Johnson responded.
00:18:58Well, it's you.
00:19:00That's why when you heard my name.
00:19:04Thanks for marrying me.
00:19:06Yeah.
00:19:11You, CEO of MJ Group, got married just like that.
00:19:16You, CEO of MJ Group, got married just like that.
00:19:20What about June?
00:19:22She's been pying for you for years.
00:19:24June and I are ancient history.
00:19:26It's none of her business.
00:19:27Jason, I need you to purchase a small place for me.
00:19:33Something to downplay my CEO status.
00:19:36Don't you think you should tell Allison the truth about who you are?
00:19:39Not yet.
00:19:41Any news on Kevin Rodriguez's recent move?
00:19:44He's been quite active, Ruby.
00:19:46Seems to be planning something.
00:19:48Kevin Rodriguez is no match for me.
00:19:51Allison, you actually married someone to adopt Sarah?
00:19:57Yeah.
00:19:59Hi.
00:20:01I'm Robert.
00:20:02Allison's husband.
00:20:03I'm sorry the house isn't that big.
00:20:16Oh, no.
00:20:17Don't worry about it.
00:20:18I'm just thankful you were willing to marry me.
00:20:19Wait, how did you get such a nice place in the hills?
00:20:33Oh, I've been renting it for years.
00:20:36Well, I'll have to move in because the adoption agency is going to be stopping by for a home visit in a few days.
00:20:44So we'll have to play the happy couple until they come and then that we can get a divorce.
00:20:50And then I'll be a good wife.
00:20:52Ew.
00:20:54Your arrangements are really thorough.
00:20:55So, um, I mean you seem to be pretty well off.
00:21:05You're quite handsome if you don't mind me saying.
00:21:09Why would you even agree to a contract marriage?
00:21:12Is this like a scam?
00:21:17Is this like a scam?
00:21:19No, no.
00:21:20Not a scam.
00:21:21I promise.
00:21:22Look, I wanted to give you this.
00:21:26Any living expenses you may have.
00:21:28Oh.
00:21:30No, we'll split everything equally.
00:21:32It's a partnership, remember?
00:21:42Hi, Sarah.
00:21:46Hi, honey.
00:21:47Hi.
00:21:49So, this is Robert.
00:21:50Amanda was telling you about.
00:21:51Hi.
00:21:52Hi.
00:21:53What do you think?
00:21:54You want him to be your new dad?
00:21:55Yes.
00:21:56Oh, look at this.
00:21:57What's this?
00:21:58And Robert, this is Sarah.
00:22:01It's nice to meet you, Sarah.
00:22:02You too.
00:22:04Who are these guys?
00:22:07This one's actually my favorite.
00:22:10Wait, this is only $10?
00:22:11Mm-hmm.
00:22:13Allison, your talent is worth far more than $10.
00:22:15Oh.
00:22:21Could you help me try this on?
00:22:23Yeah.
00:22:28All right.
00:22:32Okay.
00:22:35Okay.
00:22:39Actually, I'll get that for you.
00:22:41Oh.
00:22:42Cool.
00:22:43I don't know.
00:22:44Maybe not this time.
00:22:45I mean, I think you look beautiful.
00:22:48Mm-hmm.
00:22:49I'll take it.
00:22:52You know, my company is actually hiring jewelry designers.
00:22:58Really?
00:22:59Yeah.
00:23:00Think about it.
00:23:01Robert!
00:23:02How come you didn't tell me you were going to be here today, dude?
00:23:03This is my cousin, Peter.
00:23:05So nice to meet you.
00:23:06Hi.
00:23:07Hi.
00:23:08Hi.
00:23:09Hi.
00:23:10Hi.
00:23:11Hi.
00:23:12Hi.
00:23:13Hi.
00:23:14Hi.
00:23:15Hi.
00:23:16Hi.
00:23:17Hi.

00:29:11Backstages and welcome for guests.
00:29:13Are you looking down on me?

00:29:34Look, buddy.
00:29:36The show for guests is on stage.
00:29:38So what are you doing back here?
00:29:39He's not a guest.
00:29:43That answers my question.
00:29:45Oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:29:50I'm sorry.
00:29:54Don't kill me.

00:30:02You all right?
00:30:04Please go.
00:30:05I have to change.
00:30:05Not even a thank you?
00:30:07Thank you?
00:30:09For what?
00:30:10For cheating on me three years ago?
00:30:12For abandoning me when I needed you most?
00:30:16Why are you with Lawrence?
00:30:17You know what kind of person he is, right?
00:30:19I don't care what kind of person he is.
00:30:21I know he would never betray me.
00:30:23That's all that matters.
00:30:24Look at you now.
00:30:26What have you become?
00:30:27You don't belong in a place like this.
00:30:28How do I look?
00:30:30Like a whore?
00:30:31I thought that's what you guys wanted.
00:30:33Talk about yourself like that.
00:30:35Is it money?
00:30:36Do you need money?
00:30:36I can help you.
00:30:37So you think money can just solve all problems?
00:30:40Sure, you are wealthy.
00:30:42But are you wealthier than our Alpha Lawrence?
00:30:47Miss Audrey, Alpha Lawrence is waiting for you outside.
00:30:51I'll be right there.
00:30:52Really?
00:30:54Lawrence?
00:30:56I haven't seen you in three years.
00:30:59At least let me leave with a good impression of you.
00:31:02All right?
00:31:06What's on your mind?
00:31:19Am I just a pet to you?
00:31:20Like your other lovers?
00:31:22At first that's what I thought.
00:31:24But I was wrong.
00:31:25You're not a pet.
00:31:28You're a beast.
00:31:30That's still the same.
00:31:32No.
00:31:33I can have as many pets as I want.
00:31:35But I'll only have one Luna.
00:31:38Audrey, will you be my Luna?
00:31:43If you want to win me over,
00:31:45Sweet Words alone won't do the trick.
00:31:47Okay.
00:31:55And the shipment down at the dock has arrived.
00:31:57You might want to take a look.
00:32:00I'm sorry.
00:32:02I won't be able to keep you company tonight.
00:32:04It's okay.
00:32:06I'll leave.
00:32:21What's up, sweetie?
00:32:22Give it.
00:32:22Give it.
00:32:25Look, Audrey, I'm sorry I disappointed you.
00:32:30But I had no choice.
00:32:32Lawrence is just too dangerous.
00:32:36This is my card.
00:32:37It's got five million dollars on it.
00:32:39Take it and get out of here.
00:32:43Are you buying me?
00:32:51Let's go back to the club.
00:32:55Lawrence, do you know what I love most about you?
00:33:08Because you're a dangerous man.
00:33:11Women love dangerous men.
00:33:13But we don't like men who betray us.
00:33:16Yeah, what a coincidence.
00:33:18I also hate those who betray me.
00:33:21Are you seeking revenge on me?
00:33:23Audrey, are you sure you want to see the dangerous side of me?
00:33:28Sure.
00:33:30As long as I'm not the target.
00:33:32I loved you so much.
00:33:33How could you do this to me?
00:33:34What's so funny?
00:33:38Audrey, are you being a bad girl?
00:33:41Oh, nothing.
00:33:43I'm just playing with a dog.
00:33:47Bye, Lawrence.
00:33:51You're just with them to annoy me?
00:33:54You narcissist.
00:33:55Not everything is about you.
00:33:57Take your money back.
00:33:59Sooner or later, you'll have to call me stepmother.
00:34:02She slowly removes the dress and leather boots,
00:34:27revealing lace lingerie that teases with its delicate allure.
00:34:35Tonight is the last night with her client.
00:34:39She shall move like a mortal.
00:34:42So?
00:34:44This is the best you got.
00:34:46My intern has more imagination than you.
00:34:49Have you ever considered that the issue might be the assignment itself,
00:34:53rather than my capabilities or talents?
00:34:55You can find somebody else to do your dirty work.
00:34:59Talent.
00:35:00That's funny.
00:35:01That's what you call this?
00:35:02All this looks like to me is a whole lot of effort,
00:35:05but absolutely zero in return.
00:35:09Oh, God.
00:35:10You know, maybe it's time you admit your talent is nothing but a joke.
00:35:17Speak.
00:35:17Listen up.
00:35:19Regina's family is very powerful.
00:35:22Jennifer needs to be fired immediately.
00:35:23No barred.
00:35:24Look, I'm in the middle of something.
00:35:25Can we talk about this later?
00:35:26I'll be straight with you.
00:35:28Regina, who's likely to be your future wife,
00:35:30she is set on taking Jennifer's position in the company.
00:35:33Look, this is my company, and what I say goes.
00:35:36I don't care.
00:35:37I just want it done.
00:35:39Is that clear?
00:35:40Give me one week.
00:35:49Give me one week, Charlie,
00:35:51and I will bring you a column that'll leave you speechless.
00:35:55Hold on.
00:35:56Jennifer, you really think you can keep this up?
00:35:58I'll demonstrate that even the most basic themes
00:36:02can evoke emotion, exude refinement,
00:36:06and really resonate with the reader.
00:36:08Okay?
00:36:11You'll see.
00:36:17Absolutely impossible.
00:36:20Unless she does something drastic.
00:36:24No way.
00:36:38Well, I'm surprised at how easy it was to join.
00:36:49I guess I should mention I'm not the greatest dancer.
00:36:54You better understand.
00:36:56This gig ain't as easy as it looks on that poster.
00:37:02Got me?
00:37:03Welcome home, my new girl.
00:37:24Okay.
00:37:29Here we go.
00:37:30Chapter 1.
00:37:34Ready to roll.
00:37:52Please.
00:37:53Oh, hello.
00:37:55What have I done to deserve this?
00:38:09Just be patient.
00:38:10You're about what you want, right?
00:38:12First time on the job?
00:38:14You're probably the last peak of the night.
00:38:16You won't be the last one standing tonight.
00:38:34Thank you for not making this, um, too awkward for me.
00:38:51Here, drink this.
00:38:53It'll help you relax a little.
00:38:57So, can I call you Mr. Mask?
00:39:05Is that okay?
00:39:07Oh, hold on.
00:39:09Um, don't you want to see me perform first?
00:39:14I mean, like I could dance.
00:39:16Well, I'm actually not really a great dancer.
00:39:20Wow, you were so right to give me that drink.
00:39:23But I'm actually not a very good, uh, drinker, either.
00:39:29Um, I don't know why I'm here.
00:39:30I mean...
00:39:31Look, I know it's your first day.
00:39:33Just sit down.
00:39:41I meant beside me.
00:39:44Oh, no.
00:40:03So, just curious.
00:40:07What type do you usually go for?
00:40:11The type like you.
00:40:12You know, that's what I go for.
00:40:14I don't know.
00:40:44Client A, referred to as Mr. Mask, Smart, Polite,
00:41:13and...
00:41:15Sexy.
00:41:20I hope you like it.
00:41:34Why are you laughing?
00:41:42Doubting the authenticity?
00:41:44It's better, but...
00:41:46Okay, well just wait until the next chapters.
00:41:48It'll be worth it.
00:41:49Listen, Jennifer.
00:41:55This is important.
00:41:57What are you still doing in this building?
00:42:17Can I get a solid reason on why she's still here?
00:42:28May I ask who you are?
00:42:31Everyone here knows that I'm Charlie's fiancé.
00:42:34But you didn't seem to get the memo.
00:42:36What she's written is horrible.
00:42:52You may not care about the image of this company, but I do.
00:42:57She needs to resign.
00:43:00Now.
00:43:02Miss Thompson, this company is still mine.
00:43:06And this column belongs to Miss Bradshaw.
00:43:08You need to show us a little bit of respect.
00:43:11Changes are coming fast.
00:43:13I spoke with your uncle about the acquisition plan.
00:43:17The Metropolis magazine will soon be mine.
00:43:19I don't buy that.
00:43:21Robert's nothing but a scheming old man trying to push me out of this company.
00:43:24He is not fit to make decisions for me.
00:43:27You don't need to worry so much.
00:43:29You can still be the chief editor.
00:43:31But this column will be mine.
00:43:35Jennifer's position on this is solid.
00:43:38Okay, she is top-tier talent at this firm.
00:43:42Miss Thompson, I think it's time for you to leave.
00:43:49What I want, I will get.
00:43:58And nobody will stand in my way.
00:44:09Thank you, Charlie.
00:44:13Remember, no one will dare to lay a finger on you.
00:44:19Charlie is going mad?
00:44:22Protecting some woman and talking to me like that?
00:44:26Don't get upset.
00:44:28My nephew's usually very manageable.
00:44:30It surprises me, too.
00:44:32Need I remind you, I own 50% of your enterprise.
00:44:35And I can make you crumble at any moment.
00:44:38Just relax.
00:44:40I'll take care of it.
00:44:41Just trust me.
00:44:42Sir, I'm sorry, but this is a closed area.
00:45:00I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
00:45:01You want to play some exciting games with me?
00:45:08Come on.
00:45:09Sir, you need to leave.
00:45:11How about you come out here and deal with a real man first?
00:45:14Who the hell is disturbing my peace?
00:45:24Mom?
00:45:24Don't ever talk to me like that again.
00:45:31I better not ever see you in here.
00:45:33Just, just, I won't.
00:45:35I'm, I'm dead.
00:45:36I don't want to see you again.
00:45:37I don't want to see you again.
00:45:37Then let me go.
00:45:38I will take care of that for you, Mr. Roy.
00:45:51I truly apologize for having to trouble you with this.
00:45:55This better never happen again.
00:45:57If it does, I will call your boss and have you fired on the spot.
00:46:03Got it?
00:46:08Mom?
00:46:31My darling daughter, you're almost 30.
00:46:34It's time for you to make a decision.
00:46:35I can't just marry a random stranger that's not fair to me.
00:46:40Oh, dear, Jennifer.
00:46:42He's not just any random guy.
00:46:45That guy, Leonardo, is nothing but trouble.
00:46:48And I never want to see him again.
00:46:53Listen to me.
00:46:54His father is an important figure at City Hall.
00:46:57If you two marry, we won't have to worry for the rest of our lives.
00:47:01Mom, there's really bad signal here.
00:47:07So I can't hear you.
00:47:08I'm going to have to go, okay?
00:47:09Okay?
00:47:09I'm going to be quiet, maybe.
00:47:19Oh, my God.
00:47:20I'm going to have to go, I'm going to have to.
00:47:23I'm going to have to go.
00:47:25I'm going to have to.
00:47:28I'm going to have to go?
00:47:29No.
00:47:32No.
00:47:34I'm coming to have to go.
00:47:36No.
00:47:37Don't have to go.
00:47:38Mr. Mask.
00:47:43What are you still doing here?
00:47:44I thought I made myself very clear I do not want you working here anymore.
00:47:49I've had it up to here today.
00:47:51Why is everybody on my case?
00:47:54It's like no matter where I go, I can't do anything right.
00:47:57And you?
00:47:58You're a total mystery to me, yet you still feel inclined to share your input on my life?
00:48:02Look, it is not what you think.
00:48:05Do you think I desire to be here?
00:48:14I'm only here because of my unpredictable, bothersome boss.
00:48:18God, I can't stand him.
00:48:20Maybe your boss cares a lot more about you than you realize.
00:48:26You're defending him.
00:48:30Why isn't anybody ever on my side?
00:48:35I'm not really feeling this tonight.
00:48:42Why don't you treat me as your exclusive client?
00:48:54Thank you for believing in me, but I need more time.
00:49:00You know how many beautiful women are in there?
00:49:14Oh, so look.
00:49:17Mr. Mask, I'm really not in the mood.
00:49:20I think it's time for me and my friend here to have a little bit of fun, don't you think?
00:49:26I'm sorry, have we met?
00:49:27I don't...
00:49:28We're total strangers, but I got VIP access to that radiant face of yours.
00:49:33Just leave me alone.
00:49:35Where do you think you're going?
00:49:44Please.
00:49:47Sound awesome fun.
00:49:48Sounds so fun.
00:49:49Let me go.
00:49:50Let go of me.
00:49:51Please, let me go.
00:49:53What did you summon?
00:49:59The young master had a wife.
00:50:01She's already pregnant.
00:50:02A wife?
00:50:03This is Peyton, my youngest son, and Peyton, this is Amanda Hill.
00:50:10You were after our money, weren't you?
00:50:12I wasn't.
00:50:13Mom, Mom, are you okay?
00:50:15That useless husband of yours?
00:50:17No way!
00:50:18He's connected with the Owens.
00:50:20Get her into the surgery room.
00:50:22If you need a child, she will be worthless.
00:50:26Messing with a member of the Owens family?
00:50:29You got a death wish?
00:50:30Sorry, and if you give me another chance, I promise I can take care of you.
00:50:36I can take care of the baby.
00:50:38I can take care of myself and my child.
00:50:41She's Bart's wife.
00:50:42What the fuck was I doing?
00:50:44Amanda, I've been watching all this time.
00:50:48Peyton, he really cares about you.
00:50:51But he's Bart's younger brother.
00:50:53You and the baby.
00:50:55You need someone to care for you.
00:50:58What if Bart wouldn't mind that it's Peyton?
00:51:03There's nothing to do but the bad skin.
00:51:12What did you son?
00:51:16Amanda?
00:51:17The young master had a wife.
00:51:21She's already pregnant.
00:51:24A wife?
00:51:26Pasa, bring the car around immediately.
00:51:29I need to get to see my daughter-in-law.
00:51:32Yes, ma'am.
00:51:33Yes, ma'am.
00:51:37Why?
00:51:38I'll take care of her child.
00:51:40It probably needs...
00:51:46What the fuck are you doing?
00:51:48He's dead!
00:51:49Why are you still having this tenuous loser's child?
00:51:53I'm having my baby.
00:51:57This is your brother-in-law's only heir.
00:52:00And what about my kid?
00:52:02This is because of you!
00:52:05I'm so sorry about what happened when we were kids, but please, haven't I done enough?
00:52:10I've worked my hardest to provide for the family.
00:52:13I covered your gambling debt.

00:59:46hell
00:59:47boy sir
00:59:51when did bart get a wife
00:59:57she's ugly and fat
00:59:59if she really weren't caring for its child
01:00:01do you think they would have brought her back
01:00:03no way
01:00:04have you actually seen bart's wife
01:00:05of course she looks like a potato but walks like a worm
01:00:08good evening mr owens
01:00:17mr owens i
01:00:18okay what's going on
01:00:22peyton hates people gossiping about his family
01:00:24oh my god
01:00:25could it be that even peyton thinks she's a problem
01:00:28doesn't make sense
01:00:29i mean peyton's a top well-connected lawyer
01:00:31if he really thinks she's a fraud
01:00:33he would have dealt with her already
01:00:34i think he's waiting to expose her in front of everybody
01:00:36maybe bart's blind
01:00:49he could have lived
01:00:50off of his family lane
01:00:52i mean
01:00:52he insisted on carving his own path
01:00:55now just because some
01:00:56ugly random
01:00:57defamation has a five-year maximum sentence
01:01:11but i think
01:01:12that's a little bit too lenient for you
01:01:14throw him out
01:01:15ban him
01:01:16oh no please
01:01:17mr owens i mean we shouldn't have been gossiping about your
01:01:19brother's wife
