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!
00:11:30I tried to think to her.
00:11:32An ultimately did the recording of how Sunish diluted her friend, D 000ся.
00:11:33Leiden!
00:11:34My foot hurts!
00:11:35Can you take me to the hospital?
00:11:38Follow me!
00:11:40Listen, tell me...
00:11:41Take me downstairs now, not take my feet from Chicago.
00:11:43This river metres the only route now.
00:11:44See youibo välja my feet versus Niagara-
00:11:45Rose, it's fine. I need to go home.
00:11:50Layla!
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.
00:12:10Let's go. Listen.
00:12:15Abandoned 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, where's this?
00:12:44Take care.
00:12:51Landon, why are you so cruel?
00:13:05Ask her if she knows that she did wrong.
00:13:07Yes, sir.
00:13:08Sir, something's wrong. Madam has fainted.
00:13:18Call the doctor.
00:13:19Call the doctor.
00:13:20Call the doctor.
00:13:27Hey, 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, and 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.
00:14:09Full 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, and I hope that each and every one of you can find a little bit of themselves in Layla Sinclair.
00:14:21One of my favorite things about Lewis is that he's a character that's a little bit off the beaten path of normal verticals, where he gets to come in and kind of be the saving grace and the voice of reason, especially in such a chaotic and large format script.
00:14:37Something that I really love about Lewis is how charming he is, all the while being the gentleman.
00:14:43Not somebody who wants a lot for power, greed, and money, but somebody who wants for a big heart, and wants to help everybody else around him, including his best friend Landon.
00:14:55And make sure to catch this on Playlit.
00:14:57Catch it on Playlit.
00:14:58Catch it on Playlit.
00:14:59Catch it on Playlit.
00:15:00Catch it on Playlit.
00:15:13Catch it on Playlit.
00:15:14Catch it on Playlit.
00:15:28Oh thank you.
00:15:31Oh, I'm sorry Miss Miller but you don't meet the criteria to adopt Sarah.
00:15:37I told you she wasn't fit to be a mother.
00:15:39Please. 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.
00:16:04Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:16:09Where 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.
00:16:24Speaking 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.
00:16:43Hi, I am so sorry I'm late.
00:16:48I'm sorry, how are you?
00:16:49Oh, I'm Allison Miller. I am a handmade jewelry designer.
00:16:53So you saw my ad online for contract marriage?
00:16:58Oh, is that for me? Thanks.
00:17:00Oh, I don't really like mine with a bit more sugar.
00:17:09I'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? I mean, I know it's crazy.
00:17:19I mean, I won't really cause you any trouble. It's just a formality, really.
00:17:25Would you be willing to marry me today?
00:17:27What?
00:17:32Well, that's a bold proposal, but 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, but I accept your proposal.
00:17:51Really?
00:17:53Let's get married.
00:17:54Let's get married.
00:18:02Excuse me. Is there a woman named Allison looking for Bob Johnson?
00:18:05I can't believe this is happening.
00:18:19Yeah.
00:18:21Ready?
00:18:22Ready.
00:18:28Allison, don't take this the wrong way, but why were you so willing to marry a guy you've just met?
00:18:36There's this little girl, Sarah, and she's only five, but her foster parents views her, so I want to adopt her.
00:18:45Give her the loving home that she deserves.
00:18:48But the adoption agency keeps denying me because I'm single, so 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? She's been pying for you for years.
00:19:23June and I are ancient history. It's none of her business.
00:19:31Jason, I need you to purchase a small place for me. Something 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.
00:19:40Any news on Kevin Rodriguez's recent move?
00:19:45He's been quite active, Ruby. Seems to be planning something.
00:19:50Kevin Rodriguez is no match for me.
00:19:53Allison, you actually married someone to adopt Sarah?
00:19:58Yeah.
00:20:00Hi.
00:20:02I'm Robert, Allison's husband.
00:20:10I'm sorry the house isn't that big.
00:20:16Oh, no. Don't worry about it. I'm just thankful you were willing to marry me.
00:20:31Wait, how did you get such a nice place in the hills?
00:20:34Oh, I've been renting it for years.
00:20:38Well, I'll have to move in because the adoption agency is going to be stopping by for a home visit in a few days.
00:20:45So we'll have to play the happy couple until they come and then that we can get a divorce.
00:20:50Until 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. You'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?
00:21:18No, no. Not a scam. I promise.
00:21:24Look, I wanted to give you this. Any living expenses you may have.
00:21:29Oh. No, we'll split everything equally.
00:21:32It's a partnership, remember?
00:21:34Right.
00:21:42Hi, Sarah.
00:21:46Hi, honey.
00:21:48Hi.
00:21:50So, this is Robert, Amanda was telling you about.
00:21:52Hi.
00:21:53What do you think? You want him to be your new dad?
00:21:55Yes.
00:21:56Oh, look at this. What's this?
00:21:58And Robert, this is Sarah.
00:22:01It's nice to meet you, Sarah.
00:22:03You too.
00:22:05Who are these guys?
00:22:07This one's actually my favorite.
00:22:10Wait, this is only $10?
00:22:12Mm-hmm.
00:22:13Allison, your talent is worth far more than $10.
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.
00:22:42Oh.
00:22:44Okay.
00:22:53I don't know. Maybe not this time.
00:22:56I mean, I think you look beautiful.
00:23:02Mm-hmm.
00:23:04I'll take it.
00:23:12You know, my company is actually hiring jewelry designers.
00:23:15Really?
00:23:16Yeah.
00:23:17Think about it.
00:23:19Robert!
00:23:21How come you didn't tell me you were going to be here today, dude?
00:23:23This is my cousin, Peter.
00:23:26So nice to meet you.
00:23:28It's lovely to meet you, too.
00:23:30You know, it's funny.
00:23:32Peter actually loves jewelry.
00:23:34It's jewelry.
00:23:36Really?
00:23:39Yeah, I do.
00:23:41Oh, great.
00:23:43And you want to buy all of this.
00:23:46All of this.
00:23:49You want to buy all of this.
00:23:52Right?
00:23:54How much?
00:23:56It'll be $8,000.
00:23:58Of course.
00:24:01It's beautiful.
00:24:03$8,000.
00:24:05$8,000.
00:24:07Great.
00:24:09I'll take the whole lot.
00:24:13Should I have more hands?
00:24:15I can't read to wear it all.
00:24:17Yeah.
00:24:19Oh, my God.
00:24:27Allison, these are incredible.
00:24:33You have a real gift.
00:24:38But I only have a high school diploma.
00:24:41Do you really think your company's going to accept my resume?
00:24:44Well, I know the CEO of my company values talent above all else.
00:24:50With your skills and creativity, I have no doubt you'll succeed.
00:24:55Thanks.
00:24:57Hi there.
00:25:05Are you interviewing for the design position too?
00:25:08Yeah, I am.
00:25:10I'm Allison.
00:25:11Olivia.
00:25:12I just came back from studying in France.
00:25:14Oh, wow.
00:25:16I hear that most people here are actually more interested in the hot CEO than the job itself.
00:25:22Really?
00:25:24Olivia?
00:25:25Olivia?
00:25:26The Olivia.
00:25:27Wish me luck.
00:25:28Good luck.
00:25:41You're gonna do great.
00:25:43Just be yourself.
00:25:46Mr. Johnson's?
00:25:55Still thinking about your ex-girlfriend?
00:26:08Are you sure his office has what we're looking for?
00:26:11Yes.
00:26:12And once we get it, we'll be able to persuade the pack to overthrow Lawrence.
00:26:18And take revenge for your father.
00:26:20Keep an eye on him.
00:26:21Keep an eye on him.
00:26:22And go get it from his office.
00:26:25Lawrence.
00:26:26Do you like the colour of my lingerie?
00:26:35Audrey, is that you?
00:26:36James?
00:26:37What are you doing here?
00:26:38What are you doing here?
00:26:39This is my father's club.
00:26:40Since when is Lawrence your father?
00:26:41Since when is Lawrence your father?
00:26:42He's my step-father.
00:26:43He's my step-father.
00:26:45He's my step-father.
00:26:51Audrey, is that you?
00:27:00James?
00:27:01What are you doing here?
00:27:03What are you doing here?
00:27:04This is my father's club.
00:27:05Since when is Lawrence your father?
00:27:08He's my stepfather.
00:27:13He's my stepfather.
00:27:14Do you know him?
00:27:16Hey, hey, hey.
00:27:17You didn't answer my question.
00:27:19What are you doing here?
00:27:20It's none of your business.
00:27:21It's none of your business.
00:27:51How did I do?
00:28:10Did you like my dance?
00:28:12You were the best dancer in the club.
00:28:15I couldn't keep my eyes off of you.
00:28:18I'll be getting changed.
00:28:20See you later.
00:28:21She's good, isn't she?
00:28:31Yeah.
00:28:32Is she a new dancer?
00:28:33She's my new girlfriend.
00:28:35New girlfriend?
00:28:37She often reminds me of someone.
00:28:41I'll plan on proposing to her.
00:28:43Mom, please give me some more time.
00:28:58I will kill Lawrence to avenge you.
00:29:01Hey, I was looking for you, sweetie.
00:29:08I want to spot you for the night.
00:29:09Get off!
00:29:11Backstages and welcome for guests.
00:29:13Are you looking down at me?
00:29:17I can pay for you, bitch.
00:29:19Is this enough?
00:29:20You're wild.
00:29:24You're getting better.
00:29:30Faster!
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.
00:29:44I'm sorry.
00:29:54Don't kill me.
00:29:56I'll leave right now.
00:30:02You all right?
00:30:04Please go.
00:30:05I have to change.
00:30:06Not 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?
00:31:02All right.
00:31:12What's on your mind?
00:31:18Am 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.
00:31:26You're not a pet.
00:31:28You're a beast.
00:31:29That'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?
00:31:40If you want to win me over, Sweet Words alone won't do the trick.
00:31:55And the shipment down at the dock has arrived.
00:31:57You might want to take a look.
00:31:58I'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.
00:32:27Look.
00:32:28Audrey, 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.
00:32:52Darlene, are you missing me already?
00:33:03Lawrence, 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?
00:33:26Sure.
00:33:29As long as I'm not the target.
00:33:32I loved you so much.
00:33:33How could you do this to me?
00:33:36What's so funny?
00:33:38Audrey, are you being a bad girl?
00:33:39Oh, nothing.
00:33:42I'm just playing with a dog.
00:33:46Bye, 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.
00:34:02Stepmother.
00:34:09She slowly removes the dress and leather boots, revealing lace lingerie that teases with its delicate allure.
00:34:35Tonight is the last night with her client.
00:34:39She shall move like Gamora.
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, rather 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, but absolutely zero in return.
00:35:09Look, you know, maybe it's time you admit your talent is nothing but a joke.
00:35:14Speak.
00:35:18Listen 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, she 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.
00:35:38I just want it done.
00:35:39Is that clear?
00:35:46Give me one week.
00:35:49Give me one week, Charlie.
00:35:51And I will bring you a column that will 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 can evoke emotion, exude refinement, and really resignate with the reader.
00:36:08Okay?
00:36:12You'll see.
00:36:17Absolutely impossible.
00:36:20Unless she does something drastic.
00:36:24No way.
00:36:28Well, I'm surprised at how easy it was to join.
00:36:49I guess I should mention I'm not the greatest dancer.
00:36:52You better understand, this gig ain't as easy as it looks on that poster.
00:37:03Got me?
00:37:09Welcome home, my new girl.
00:37:13Welcome home, my new girl.
00:37:13Welcome home, my new girl.
00:37:22Welcome home, furnished.
00:37:23Welcome home, my new girl.
00:37:24Okay.
00:37:29Here we go.
00:37:31Chapter 1.
00:37:34Ready to roll.
00:37:35Oh, I'm gonna be out.
00:37:37And I'll be back.
00:37:39Oh, hello.
00:37:41I'm gonna be back.
00:37:43Oh, I'm gonna be right.
00:37:45I'm gonna be back.
00:37:47I'm gonna be right back.
00:37:49Oh, she's gonna be right back.
00:37:51Yeah.
00:37:52Yeah.
00:37:52Elise.
00:37:53Ooh, hello.
00:37:55She is...
00:37:57a ton of wine.
00:37:59I know she was a little nugget.
00:38:03What 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. It'll help you relax a little.
00:38:57So, can I call you Mr. Mask? Is 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. I 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?
00:40:09The type like you.
00:40:13That's what I go for.
00:40:17Hmm.
00:40:18The type like you.
00:40:44Client A
00:41:03Referred to as Mr. Mask, Smart, Polite, Sexy
00:41:33I hope you like it. Why are you laughing? Doubting the authenticity?
00:41:44It's better, but...
00:41:46Okay, well just wait until the next chapters. It'll be worth it.
00:41:53Listen, Jennifer. This is important!
00:42:03What are you still doing in this building?
00:42:24Can I get a solid reason on why she's still here?
00:42:28May I ask who you are?
00:42:30Everyone here knows that I'm Charlie's fiancée. But you didn't seem to get the memo.
00:42:36What she's written is horrible. You may not care about the image of this company, but I do. She needs to resign. Now.
00:42:48Miss Thompson, this company is still mine. And this column belongs to Miss Bradshaw. You need to show us a little bit of respect.
00:43:00Changes are coming fast. I spoke with your uncle about the acquisition plan. The Metropolis Magazine will soon be mine.
00:43:06I don't buy that. Robert's nothing but a scheming old man trying to push me out of this company. He is not fit to make decisions for me.
00:43:12You don't need to worry so much. You can still be the chief editor. But this column will be mine.
00:43:18Jennifer's position on this is solid. Okay? She is top tier talent at this firm.
00:43:24Miss Thompson, I think it's time for you to leave.
00:43:26Jennifer's position on this is solid. Okay. She is top tier talent at this firm.
00:43:30be the chief editor but this column will be mine. Jennifer's position on this is
00:43:37solid. Okay, she is top-tier talent at this firm. Miss Thompson, I think it's
00:43:43time for you to leave.
00:43:46What I want, I will get, and nobody will stand in my way.
00:44:09Thank you, Charlie.
00:44:13Remember, no one will dare to lay a finger on you.
00:44:20Charlie is going mad? Protecting some woman and talking to me like that?
00:44:26Don't get upset. My nephew's usually very manageable. It surprises me too.
00:44:32Need I remind you, I own 50% of your enterprise and I can make you crumble at any moment.
00:44:38Just relax. I'll take care of it. Just trust me.
00:44:43Sir! I'm sorry, but this is a closed area. I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
00:44:58Want to play some exciting games with me? Come on!
00:45:05Sir, you need to leave.
00:45:07How about you come out here and deal with a real man first?
00:45:10Who the hell is disturbing my peace?
00:45:17Mom?
00:45:19Don't ever talk to me like that again. I better not ever see you in here.
00:45:25Just, just, I won't. I'm done. I don't want to see you again. I don't want to see you again. Then let me go.
00:45:37I will take care of that for you, Mr. Roy. I truly apologize for having to trouble you with this.
00:45:54This better never happen again. If it does, I will call your boss and have you fired on the spot. Got it?
00:46:03Got it?
00:46:29Mom?
00:46:30My darling daughter, you're almost 30. It's time for you to make a decision.
00:46:35I can't just marry a random stranger that's not fair to me.
00:46:39Oh dear, Jennifer. He's not just any random guy.
00:46:44That guy, Leonardo, is nothing but trouble. And... I never want to see him again.
00:46:52Listen to me. His father is an important figure at City Hall. If you two marry, we won't have to worry for the rest of our lives.
00:47:03Mom, there's really bad signal here. So I can't hear you. I'm gonna have to go, okay?
00:47:09I don't know. I'm gonna have to go, okay?
00:47:18I don't know. I'm gonna have to go, huh?
00:47:21Sorry.
00:47:26Babe...
00:47:29Oh my God.
00:47:33I'm gonna have to go.
00:47:35I'm gonna have to go...
00:47:37Mr. Mask.
00:47:42What 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, you're a total mystery to me,
00:48:00yet you still feel inclined to share your input on my life?
00:48:03Look, it is not what you think.
00:48:07Do 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.
00:48:25You're defending him.
00:48:29Why isn't anybody ever on my side?
00:48:35I'm not really feeling this tonight.
00:48:37Why don't you treat me as your exclusive client?
00:48:54Thank you for believing in me.
00:48:57But I need more time.
00:48:59You know how many beautiful women are in there?
00:49:15Oh, she'll look.
00:49:18Mr. 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.
00:49:24Don't you think?
00:49:26I'm sorry, have we met?
00:49:27I don't...
00:49:28We're total strangers.
00:49:29But I got VIP access to that radiant face of yours.
00:49:34Just leave me alone.
00:49:36What do you think, Nicole?
00:49:37I don't know if you're going.
00:49:44Please.
00:49:47Sound awesome fun.
00:49:48Please.
00:49:48Sounds awesome fun.
00:49:49Let me go.
00:49:49Let go of me.
00:49:51Please, let me go.
00:49:52Please.
00:49:57What did you, son?
00:49:58The young master had a wife.
00:50:01She's already pregnant.
00:50:02A wife?
00:50:03This is Peyton, my youngest son.
00:50:06And 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.
00:50:19Get her into the surgery room.
00:50:22If you need a child, she will be worthless.
00:50:27Messing with a member of the Owens family?
00:50:29You got a death wish?
00:50:31Sorry, and if you give me another chance,
00:50:34I promise I can take care of you.
00:50:37I can take care of the baby.
00:50:38I can take care of myself and my child.
00:50:41She's Bart's wife.
00:50:43What the fuck was I doing?
00:50:45Amanda, I've been watching all this time.
00:50:48Peyton, he never really cares about you.
00:50:52But he's Bart's younger brother.
00:50:54You and the baby.
00:50:56You need someone to care for you.
00:50:59What if Bart wouldn't mind that it's Peyton?
00:51:12What did you, son?
00:51:13She's already pregnant.
00:51:24A wife?
00:51:26Pastor, bring the car around immediately.
00:51:30I need to get to see my daughter-in-law.
00:51:33Isma.
00:51:37Bart, I'll take care of her child.
00:51:40I promise.
00:51:45What the fuck are you doing?
00:51:49He's dead.
00:51:50Why are you still having this tenuous loser's child?
00:51:56I'm having my baby.
00:51:58This is your brother-in-law's only heir.
00:52:01And what about my kid?
00:52:03This is because of you.
00:52:05I'm so sorry about what happened when we were kids.
00:52:09But please, haven't I done enough?
00:52:11I've worked my hardest to provide for the family.
00:52:14I covered your gambling debt.
00:52:16Shut up.
00:52:17Hand over the dead loser's compensation or I'll get rid of your baby.
00:52:22No.
00:52:24Bart left me the money for our child.
00:52:29Amanda, my baby daughter.
00:52:31Are you really going to let the Hill family bloodline in?
00:52:35Please, I am hating you.
00:52:38No.
00:52:39Don't you want it?
00:52:40I'll get rid of that baby myself right now.
00:52:45Stop.
00:52:46No.
00:52:47Stop.
00:52:47Stop.
00:52:52Yes.
00:52:56Stop.
00:52:57Stop.
00:53:01I'm in the Hill.
00:53:09I'll ask.
00:53:12I'm Bart's mother.
00:53:15It's me.
00:53:19Don't you worry.
00:53:20You and your baby are going to have the best life.
00:53:26With what money?
00:53:28Your son is a poor loser.
00:53:32Wait.
00:53:32Wait.
00:53:33You're here for the compensation payments as well.
00:53:35No.
00:53:36Embarrassed and angry, huh?
00:53:38Amanda, she is a grieving old woman trying to trick you.
00:53:42She's Bart's mother.
00:53:43And the grandmother of my child, she's family.
00:53:46Let's go.
00:53:47What?
00:53:48I'm your fucking brother and you choose that old hag over giving me money?
00:53:52Sir.
00:53:54Excuse me.
00:53:57Stop hurting my son.
00:53:59Watch your mouth.
00:54:03Oh, child, are you all right?
00:54:07Butler, take her away.
00:54:12Stop bullying my daughter-in-law.
00:54:16Teach them a lesson.
00:54:20No.
00:54:21No!
00:54:22No!
00:54:22No!
00:54:22No!
00:54:23No!
00:54:23No!
00:54:23No!
00:54:23No!
00:54:24No!
00:54:24Child, you're away.
00:54:37This is...
00:54:39Oh, this is our home.
00:54:44You're away.
00:54:46This is...
00:54:47This is our home.
00:54:49How are you feeling?
00:54:50Do you like it here?
00:54:51Bart told me that his parents were just farmers.
00:54:56Well, we were.
00:54:57But we changed careers.
00:54:59Now we own the largest real estate company in the United States.
00:55:03And Bart's younger brother is the founder of a top global law firm, where both the legitimate
00:55:09and underworld have to cater to his mood.
00:55:12And let me introduce our child care expert and our family doctor.
00:55:19They will be at your beck and call for whatever you may need.
00:55:26Greetings, madam.
00:55:27You may leave now.
00:55:32Thank you, Butler.
00:55:33Now, this has no spending limit, and I want you to use it however you'd like.
00:55:40Oh.
00:55:41No, no.
00:55:42This is so generous, but I have a job.
00:55:44I can earn my own money.
00:55:45Please.
00:55:48You are such a good girl.
00:55:51But, from now on, this is your home.
00:55:55You don't have to be so formal.
00:56:03Welcome back, Mr. Payton.
00:56:31Hi, Mom.
00:56:32This is Payton, my youngest son, and the best lawyer in the whole world.
00:56:39And, Payton, this is Amanda Hill.
00:56:48And, Payton, this is Amanda Hill.
00:56:53My brother died in a car accident picking you up from work.
00:56:58Isn't that right?
00:56:58You took out an insurance policy, and the next thing you know, he's dead.
00:57:05No, Payton.
00:57:06I investigate.
00:57:08It was an accident.
00:57:09Even if it was just an accident, you were after our money, weren't you?
00:57:13I wasn't.
00:57:15I didn't even know who Bart was when he was alive.
00:57:17Still lying.
00:57:18You're already proudly living in my home.
00:57:23Ali, no.
00:57:25No.
00:57:26I asked you to move in here.
00:57:28And as long as I am here, no one is kicking you out.
00:57:31Mom, listen to me.
00:57:33She's definitely connected to Bart's death.
00:57:36Why don't you show some respect?
00:57:38She is carrying Bart's child.
00:57:42I see women like her all of the time in court, every day.
00:57:46They don't even know if the baby is really Bart's.
00:57:51You can say whatever you want about me, but you will not speak of my child.
00:57:59You have gone too far.
00:58:01I'm leaving.
00:58:04God damn it, I'll expose you one day.
00:58:07Don't you worry about him.
00:58:18That's just how he is.
00:58:22Look, tonight I want you to meet the entire Owens family.
00:58:28But, what, don't say no just yet.
00:58:32If not for you, then for the baby.
00:58:34I really don't want to cause you any trouble.
00:58:38We're family.
00:58:41No need.
00:58:42Sir, this is the bill from Madam and Mrs. Hale's visit to the mall.
00:58:57Two million dollars in total.
00:58:59She spent two million in a few hours.
00:59:07This woman is something else.
00:59:08I heard that after marrying Master Owens, she supported her family and paid off her brother's gambling debt.
00:59:14That is suspicious.
00:59:16Welcome home, Madam.
00:59:17Also, Madam will be holding a banquet tonight to formally introduce Ms. Hale to the entire Owens family.
00:59:31Go to the police immediately.
00:59:33Right, get my brother's accident report.
00:59:35And get all the information on that woman.
00:59:38Yes, Master.
00:59:39Bart, if she had anything to do with your death, I will make her life hell.
00:59:50Boy, sir.
00:59:53When did Bart get a wife?
00:59:58She's ugly and fat.
00:59:59If she really weren't carrying Bart's child, do 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.
01:00:11Good evening, Mr. Owens.
01:00:17Mr. Owens, I...
01:00:20Okay, what's going on?
01:00:22Peyton hates people gossiping about his family.
01:00:25Oh my God.
01:00:26Could 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, he would have dealt with her already.
01:00:34I think he's waiting to expose her in front of everybody.
01:00:48Maybe Bart's blind.
01:00:49He could have lived off of his family lane.
01:00:52I mean, he insisted on carving his own path.
01:00:55Now, just because some ugly, random...
01:00:57Ah!
01:00:58Ah!
01:00:58My head!
01:00:59Mr. Owens, I was just...
01:01:07Defamation has a five-year maximum sentence, but I think that's a little bit too lenient for you.
01:01:14Throw him out.
01:01:16Ban him.
01:01:16Oh, no, please.
01:01:17Mr. Owens, I mean, we shouldn't have been gossiping about your brother's wife.
01:01:21Please, have...
01:01:21Mr. Owens, we're so sorry.
01:01:23Please, let me explain.
01:01:24I'm so, so sorry.
01:01:25Please, no, no, please don't keep us...
01:01:27Please have mercy on us, please.
01:01:29We're so sorry.
01:01:31What in the world is going on outside?
01:01:34Young master is punishing those fools who spoke ill of Miss Hill.
01:01:37Really?
01:01:39You know, I was thinking I was going to have to mediate between him and Amanda.
01:01:44But maybe now, there's no need...
01:01:46Madam, actually...
01:01:47Amanda must be ready.
01:01:50She should be ready.
01:01:50We've got to go!
