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.
00:01:00What 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... you're back.
00:01:35No.
00:01:35I told you marrying me means this is non-negotiable.
00:01:42Three years of marriage, and I've been nothing more than a soulless object for his pleasure.
00:01:46I can't cry. I can't fight.
00:01:48Lila Sinclair, look at me.
00:01:53Will you 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've told you.
00:02:10I'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.
00:04:49The doctor said it's a low probability.
00:04:52Oh, 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?
00:09:52You'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.
00:10:01Oh, little 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?
00:10:31You may be his wife, but he loves me.
00:10:34You're just a 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 teamless homeworker.
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?
00:11:20Divorce?
00:11:21And they hit me!
00:11:26You bullied Layla first!
00:11:33Landon, my foot hurts.
00:11:35Can you take me to the hospital?
00:11:38Follow me.
00:11:39Rose, it's fine.
00:11:49I need to go.
00:11:50Layla!
00:11:59Landon, I don't want to be in the same space as her.
00:12:04You need to find your own way home.
00:12:06But sir, it's raining.
00:12:08Just ignore her.
00:12:10Let's go.
00:12:11Listen.
00:12:18Abandoned again.
00:12:20How many times now?
00:12:22Yep.
00:12:22Twelve times.
00:12:24Landon, do you know?
00:12:25I can only forgive you 17 times.
00:12:34Madam!
00:12:35Mrs. Green, it's so cold.
00:12:38Please open the door.
00:12:39Madam, Mr. Kensington said I can't let you in.
00:12:42Here.
00:12:43Bless this.
00:12:44Take care.
00:12:45Take care.
00:12:46Take care.
00:12:47Take care.
00:12:47Take care.
00:12:47Take care.
00:12:47Take care.
00:12:48Ask her if she knows that she did wrong.
00:13:07Yes, sir.
00:13:10Sir, something's wrong.
00:13:12Madam has fainted.
00:13:13Call the doctor.
00:13:27Hey, my name is Mariana Colboon, and I'm very excited to introduce to you the next action-packed
00:13:32playlet.
00:13:32Hi, my name is Tim Stein.
00:13:34I play Landon Kensington in Playlit's new drama and action-packed performance.
00:13:39Hey, y'all.
00:13:40My name is Gage Robinson, and I play Louis in Love in Silence on Playlit.
00:13:45Hi, my name is Chelsea Gray, and I'm playing Aurora in Love in Silence.
00:13:51Now, Aurora is going to get what she wants, and she's going to do whatever she needs to
00:13:56do to get it.
00:13:57And 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 Laila 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
00:14:18and every one of you can find a little bit of themselves in Laila Sinclair.
00:14:22One of my favorite things about Louis is that he's a character that's a little bit off the
00:14:26beaten path of normal verticals, where he gets to come in and kind of be the saving grace
00:14:30and the voice of reason, especially in such a chaotic and large format script.
00:14:37Something that I really love about Louis is how charming he is, all the while being the
00:14:42gentleman.
00:14:43Not somebody who wants a lot for power, greed, and money, but somebody who wants for a big
00:14:49heart and wants to help everybody else around him, including his best friend Landon.
00:14:54And make sure to catch this on Playlit.
00:14:57Catch it on Playlit.
00:14:58Catch it on Playlit.
00:15:00Catch it on Playlit.
00:15:01Oh, thank you.
00:15:31Oh, I'm sorry, Ms. Miller, but you don't meet the criteria to adopt Sarah.
00:15:37I told you she wasn't fit to be a mother.
00:15:42Please.
00:15:43I love Sarah, okay?
00:15:44I can provide her with a loving home.
00:15:47Our policies are clear.
00:15:49Without a stable marriage and financial security, there's no way they're going to let me approve
00:15:53this application.
00:15:54Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:16:10Where is this guy?
00:16:12We've been waiting for over an hour.
00:16:14Mr. Rodriguez is known for his fashion-related entrances.
00:16:17Well, I hope he comes in good spirits.
00:16:20This 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?
00:16:32That's never going to happen.
00:16:34You know what, Jason, go back to the office.
00:16:37I'll wait for Mr. Rodriguez myself.
00:16:41Yes, 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.
00:16:52I am a handmade jewelry designer.
00:16:54So you saw my ad online for contract marriage?
00:16:58Oh, is that for me?
00:17:00Thanks.
00:17:04Oh, I probably like mine with a bit more sugar.
00:17:09I'm Robert Johnson's.
00:17:10Yeah, I know your name, Robert Johnson.
00:17:13I just didn't know you'd be so hot.
00:17:16Anyway, so are you down for this?
00:17:18I mean, I know it's crazy.
00:17:20I mean, I won't really cause you any trouble.
00:17:21It's just a formality, really.
00:17:25Would you be willing to marry me today?
00:17:29Wait.
00:17:33Well, that's a bold proposal.
00:17:35But an interesting one.
00:17:36This might also be a way for me to push back against the pressure from my family.
00:17:42Well, Allison, it's definitely a first.
00:17:49But I accept your proposal.
00:17:51Really?
00:17:53Let's get married.
00:17:54Let's get married.
00:17:55Let's get married.
00:17:55Excuse me.
00:18:03Is there a woman named Allison looking for Bob Johnson?
00:18:05I can't believe this is happening.
00:18:19Yeah.
00:18:21Ready?
00:18:23Ready.
00:18:28Allison, don't take this the wrong way, but why were you so willing to marry a guy you've just met?
00:18:34There's this little girl, Sarah, and she's only five, but her foster parents abuse her, so I want to adopt her.
00:18:46Give her the loving home that she deserves.
00:18:49But 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, see ya.
00:18:59That's why when you heard my name.
00:19:05Thanks for marrying me.
00:19:07Here.
00:19:11You, CEO of MJ Group, got married just like that.
00:19:17You, CEO of MJ Group, got married just like that.
00:19:21What 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.
00:19:31Jason, I need you to purchase a small place for me.
00:19:34Something to downplay my CEO status.
00:19:37Don't you think you should tell Allison the truth about who you are?
00:19:40Not yet.
00:19:42Any news on Kevin Rodriguez's recent move?
00:19:45He's been quite active, Ruby.
00:19:47Seems like you're planning something.
00:19:50Kevin Rodriguez is no match for me.
00:19:52Allison, you actually married someone to adopt Sarah?
00:19:58Yeah.
00:19:59Hi.
00:20:01I'm Robert.
00:20:03Allison's husband.
00:20:14Sorry the house isn't that big.
00:20:17Oh, no.
00:20:18Don't worry about it.
00:20:18I'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.
00:20:39Well, I'll have to move in because the adoption agency is going to be stopping by for a home
00:20:43visit in a few days, so we'll have to play the happy couple until they come, and then
00:20:47that we can get a divorce.
00:20:50Until then, I'll be a good wife.
00:20:53Deal.
00:20:54Your arrangements are really thorough.
00:20:59So, um, I mean, you seem to be pretty well off.
00:21:04You'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.
00:21:20No.
00:21:20Uh, not a scam.
00:21:22I promise.
00:21:24Look, I wanted to give you this.
00:21:27Any living expenses you may have.
00:21:29Oh.
00:21:30No, we'll split everything equally.
00:21:32It's a partnership, remember?
00:21:33Hi, Sarah.
00:21:47Hi, honey.
00:21:48Hi.
00:21:49So, this is Robert, the minute I was telling you about.
00:21:52Hi.
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?
00:21:58Robert, this is Sarah.
00:22:01It's nice to meet you, Sarah.
00:22:02You do.
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.
00:22:15Ah.
00:22:21Could you help me try this on?
00:22:24Yeah.
00:22:24Actually, I'll get that for you.
00:22:42Oh.
00:22:44Okay.
00:22:45Cool.
00:22:53I don't know.
00:22:54Maybe not this time.
00:22:56I mean, I think you look beautiful.
00:23:02Mm-hmm.
00:23:04I'll take it.
00:23:06You know, my company is actually hiring jewelry designers.
00:23:16Really?
00:23:17Yeah.
00:23:18Think about it.
00:23:20Robert!
00:23:21How come you didn't tell me you were going to be here today, dude?
00:23:24This is my cousin, Peter.
00:23:27So nice to meet you.
00:23:28It's lovely to meet you, too.
00:23:29Uh, you know, it's funny.
00:23:33Peter actually loves jewelry.
00:23:36Really?
00:23:39Yeah, I do.
00:23:41Oh, great.
00:23:43And you want to buy all of this.
00:23:49You want to buy all of this.
00:23:52Right?
00:23:54How much?
00:23:56It'll be $8,000.
00:23:59Of 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.
00:24:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:24:13I have more hands.
00:24:15I can't read to wear it all.
00:24:17Yeah.
00:24:19Oh, my God.
00:24:20Oh, my God.
00:24:29Allison, these are incredible.
00:24:34You have a real gift.
00:24:39But I only have a high school diploma.
00:24:41Do you really think your company's going to accept my resume?
00:24:45Well, 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.
00:24:56Thanks.
00:25:04Hi there.
00:25:05Are you interviewing for the design position, too?
00:25:09Yeah, I am.
00:25:10I'm Allison.
00:25:11Olivia.
00:25:12I just came back from studying in France.
00:25:14Oh, wow.
00:25:14I hear that most people here are actually more interested in the hot CEO than the job itself.
00:25:22Really?
00:25:23Not that way.
00:25:25Olivia.
00:25:26The only of you.
00:25:28Wish me luck.
00:25:29Good luck.
00:25:41You're going to do great.
00:25:43Just be yourself.
00:25:44Mr. Dawson's?
00:26:06Still thinking about your ex-girlfriend?
00:26:10Are you sure his office has what we're looking for?
00:26:12Yes.
00:26:13And once we get it, we'll be able to persuade the pack to overthrow Lawrence.
00:26:19And take revenge for your father.
00:26:23Keep an eye on him.
00:26:25I'm going to go get it from his office.
00:26:26Okay.
00:26:26Okay.
00:26:26Okay.
00:26:26Okay.
00:26:26Okay.
00:26:26Okay.
00:26:26Okay.
00:26:26Okay.
00:26:27Okay.
00:26:28Okay.
00:26:43All right.
00:26:43Okay.
00:26:43All right.
00:26:48I'm going to go get it.
00:26:48Do you like the color of my lingerie?
00:26:59Audrey, 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.
00:27:06Since when is Lawrence your father?
00:27:07He's my stepfather.
00:27:12He's my stepfather.
00:27:14Do you know him?
00:27:16Hey, hey, hey.
00:27:17And you didn't answer my question.
00:27:19What are you doing here?
00:27:20It's none of your business.
00:27:47How did I do?
00:27:52Did you like my dance?
00:27:53How did I do?
00:28:08Did you like my dance?
00:28:12You were the best dancer in the club.
00:28:15I could keep my eyes off of you.
00:28:17I'll be good 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'm planning on proposing to her.
00:28:43Okay.
00:28:51Mom, please give me some more time.
00:28:58I will kill Lawrence to avenge you.
00:29:05Hey, 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 on me?
00:29:14I can pay for you, bitch.
00:29:19Is this enough?
00:29:22You're wild.
00:29:24You're getting better.
00:29:30Faster!
00:29:35Look, 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.
00:29:53I'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.
00:30:05Not 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?
00:30:55I haven't seen you in three years.
00:30:58At least let me leave with a good impression of you.
00:31:02All right?
00:31:02What'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?
00:31:42If you want to win me over,
00:31:45Sweet Words alone won't do the trick.
00:31:47And 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.
00:32:06What's up, sweetie?
00:32:22Give it.
00:32:27Look, Audrey, I'm sorry I disappointed you.
00:32:30But I had no choice.
00:32:32Lawrence is just too dangerous.
00:32:33This 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.
00:33:00Darling, are you missing me already?
00:33:02Lawrence, 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.
00:33:17Yeah, 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, as 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?
00:33:40Oh, nothing.
00:33:42I'm just playing with a dog.
00:33:46Bye, Lawrence.
00:33:48You'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.
00:34:02You're just with them to annoy me?
00:34:06You narcissist.
00:34:09Not everything is about you.
00:34:10Take your money back.
00:34:11Sooner or later, you'll have to call me stepmother.
00:34:13She 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 a mortal.
00:34:41So?
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.
00:35:09Oh, God.
00:35:09You know, maybe it's time you admit your talent is nothing but a joke.
00:35:17Speak.
00:35:18Listen up.
00:35:19Regina's family is very powerful.
00:35:22Jennifer needs to be fired immediately.
00:35:23No bar.
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.
00:35:27Regina, 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 can evoke emotion, exude refinement, and really resignate with the reader.
00:36:08Okay?
00:36:12You'll see.
00:36:13Absolutely impossible.
00:36:20Unless she does something drastic.
00:36:25No way.
00:36:43Well, 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 one.
00:37:33Ready to roll.
00:37:52Police.
00:37:54Oh, hello.
00:38:00I know, she was like a little nugget.
00:38:03What have I done to deserve this?
00:38:09Just be patient.
00:38:10You'll bet 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.
00:38:30You 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.
00:39:01So, 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?
00:39:13I 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.
00:39:24But 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.
00:39:58Oh, no.
00:40:01So, just curious.
00:40:07What type do you usually go for?
00:40:11The type like you.
00:40:13That's what I go for.
00:40:17Hmm.
00:40:18What type do you usually go for?
00:40:33What type do you usually go for?
00:40:35What type do you usually go for?
00:40:37What type do you usually go for?
00:40:39What type do you usually go for?
00:40:41What type do you usually go for?
00:40:43What type do you usually go for?
00:40:45What type do you usually go for?
00:40:47Client A, referred to as Mr. Mask, smart, polite, sexy.
00:41:17Client A, referred to as Mr. Mask, smart, polite, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy,
00:41:47Just wait until the next chapters, it'll be worth it.
00:41:53Listen, Jennifer, this is important!
00:41:59What 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?
00:42:30Everyone here knows that I'm Charlie's fiancé, but you didn't seem to get the memo.
00:42:36What she's written is horrible.
00:42:51You may not care about the image of this company, but I do.
00:42:57She needs to resign. Now.
00:43:01Ms. Thompson, this company is still mine, and this column belongs to Ms. 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.
00:43:16The 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.
00:43:37Okay, she has top-tier talent at this firm.
00:43:42Ms. 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.
00:44:10Thank you, Charlie.
00:44:14Remember, 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.
00:44:27My 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!
00:44:43I'm sorry, but this is a closed area.
00:44:44I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
00:44:45I'm sorry, but this is a closed area.
00:44:47I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
00:44:49He he he he.
00:44:50Want to play some exciting games with me?
00:44:51Come on!
00:44:52Sir, you need to leave.
00:44:53He he he he.
00:44:54How about you come out here and deal with a real man at first?
00:44:55How about you come out here and deal with a real man at first?
00:44:56Who the hell is disturbing my peace?
00:44:57Mom?
00:44:58How about you come out here and deal with a real man at first?
00:44:59Who the hell is disturbing my peace?
00:45:02Mom?
00:45:03Don't ever talk to me like that again.
00:45:04I better not talk to her again.
00:45:05I better not.
00:45:06It seems to be impossible to believe me.
00:45:07We all have to tell her that I can't think of myself.
00:45:08Well let me show you something, sir.
00:45:09I'm sorry.
00:45:10I'm sorry, sir.
00:45:11I'm sorry.
00:45:12You'll need to leave.
00:45:13He he he he.
00:45:14How about you come out here and deal with a real man at first?
00:45:15Who the hell is disturbing my peace?
00:45:17Mom?
00:45:29Don'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 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.
00:45:47I 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.
00:45:56If it does, I will call your boss and have you fired on the spot.
00:46:03Got it?
00:46:26Mom?
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.
00:47:04Mom, 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?
00:47:14Mr. Mask.
00:47:41What are you still doing here? I thought I made myself very clear I do not want you working here anymore.
00:47:47I've had it up to here today. Why is everybody on my case? It's like no matter where I go, I can't do anything right.
00:47:56And you? You'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.
00:48:11Do you think I desire to be here? I'm only here because of my unpredictable, bothersome boss god. 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. Why isn't anybody ever on my side? I'm not really feeling this tonight.
00:48:41Why don't you treat me as your exclusive client?
00:48:54Thank you for believing in me.
00:48:57But I need more time.
00:49:11You know how many beautiful women are in there?
00:49:14Oh, she'll 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?
00:49:25I'm sorry, have we met? I don't...
00:49:27We're total strangers. But I got VIP access to that gradient face of yours.
00:49:33Just leave me alone.
00:49:35Where do you think you're going?
00:49:44Please.
00:49:46Sound all so fun.
00:49:47Sound so fun.
00:49:48Let me go. Let go of me!
00:49:51Please, let me go!
00:49:57What did you sign?
00:49:58The young master had a wife. She's already pregnant.
00:50:01A wife?
00:50:03This is Peyton, my youngest son. And Peyton, this is Amanda Hill.
00:50:09You were after our money, weren't you?
00:50:11I wasn't.
00:50:12Mom, Mom, are you okay?
00:50:14Is that useless husband yours?
00:50:17No way! He's connected with the Owens.
00:50:18Get her into the surgery room.
00:50:22If you leave the child, she will be worthless.
00:50:27Messing with a member of the Owens family? You got a death wish?
00:50:30Sorry, and if you give me another chance, I 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. What the fuck was I doing?
00:50:45Amanda, I've been watching all this time.
00:50:49Peyton 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?
00:51:11What if you son?
00:51:16Manna?
00:51:18The young master had a wife.
00:51:21She's already pregnant.
00:51:24A wife?
00:51:26Puzzle, bring the car around immediately.
00:51:30I need to get to see my daughter-in-law.
00:51:33Yes, ma'am.
00:51:34I'll take care of her child.
00:51:35I promise.
00:51:37What the fuck are you doing? He's dead. Why are you still having this tenuous loser's child?
00:51:56I'm having my baby. This is your brother-in-law's only heir.
00:52:00And what about my kid? This is because of you!
00:52:06I'm so sorry about what happened when we were kids, but please, haven't I done enough?
00:52:11I've worked my hardest to provide for the family. I've covered your gambling debt.
00:52:16Shut up!
00:52:18Hand 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.
00:52:26Amanda, my baby daughter, are you really going to let the Hill family bloodline in?
00:52:35Please, I am making you!
00:52:38No!
00:52:39Don't you want it? I'll get rid of that baby myself right now.
00:52:44Stop!
00:52:46No!
00:52:47Stop!
00:52:51Yes!
00:52:56Stop!
00:52:57I'm Amanda Hill.
00:53:09I'm Bart's mother.
00:53:13It's me.
00:53:15Don't you worry, you and your baby are going to have the best life.
00:53:24With what money? Your son is a poor loser.
00:53:31Wait, wait, wait, wait.
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 and 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.
00:54:03Who?
00:54:04Child, are you alright?
00:54:06Butler, take her away!
00:54:12Stop bullying my daughter alone.
00:54:15Teach them a lesson.
00:54:20No.
00:54:21No!
00:54:22No!
00:54:23No!
00:54:24No!
00:54:25No!
00:54:34Child, you're away.
00:54:37This is...
00:54:39Oh.
00:54:40This is our home.
00:54:41How are you feeling?
00:54:42Do you like it here?
00:54:44Bart told me that his parents were just farmers.
00:54:47Well, we were.
00:54:48But we changed careers.
00:54:49Now we own the largest real estate company in the United States.
00:54:50And Bart's younger brother is the founder of a top global law firm, where both the legitimate and underworld have to cater to his mood.
00:55:09underworld have to cater to his mood. And let me introduce our child care expert
00:55:18and our family doctor. They will be at your beck and call for whatever you may
00:55:22need.
00:55:25Greetings madam. You may leave now.
00:55:31Thank you butler. Now this has no spending limit and I want you to use it
00:55:38however you'd like. Oh no no this is so generous but I have a job I can earn my
00:55:45own money please. You are such a good girl. But from now on this is your home you
00:55:55don't have to be so formal.
00:56:08Welcome back Mr. Payton.
00:56:25Hi mom.
00:56:32This is Payton, my youngest son and the best lawyer in the whole world. And Payton this
00:56:40is Amanda Hill.
00:56:47And Payton this is Amanda Hill.
00:56:53My brother died in a car accident picking you up from work. Isn't that right?
00:56:59You took out an insurance policy and the next thing you know he's dead.
00:57:04No Payton. I investigate. It 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. I didn't even know who Bart was when he was alive.
00:57:17Still lying. You're already proudly living in my home.
00:57:22I'll leave.
00:57:24No. No, I asked you to move in here. And as long as I am here, no one is kicking you out.
00:57:31Mom, listen to me. She's definitely connected to Bart's death.
00:57:35Why don't you show some respect? She is carrying Bart's child.
00:57:41I see women like her all of the time in court every day. They don't even know if the baby is really Bart's.
00:57:49You can say whatever you want about me, but you will not speak of my child.
00:57:57You have gone too far. I'm leaving.
00:58:02God damn it, I'll expose you one day.
00:58:07Don't you worry about him. That's just how he is.
00:58:21Look, tonight, I want you to meet the entire Owens family.
00:58:28But, Maiden, what? Don't say no just yet. If not for you, then for the baby.
00:58:35I really don't want to cause you any trouble.
00:58:38Sir, this is the bill from Madam and Mrs. Hale's visit to the mall. Two million dollars in total.
00:58:59She spent two million in a few hours. This 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.
00:59:18Also, Madam will be holding a banquet tonight to formally introduce Ms. Hale to the entire Owens family.
00:59:31Go to the police immediately or get my brother's accident report and get all the information on that woman.
00:59:38Yes, Master.
00:59:40Bart, if she had anything to do with your death, I will make her life hell.
00:59:50The boy's children.
00:59:53I see.
00:59:56When did Bart get a wife?
00:59:58She's ugly and fat. If she really weren't carrying Bart's child, do you think they would have brought her back?
01:00:03No way. Have you actually seen Bart's wife?
01:00:06Of course, she looks like a potato but walks like a worm.
01:00:09Good evening, Mr. Owens.
01:00:17Mr. Owens, I...
01:00:19Okay, what's going on? Peyton hates people gossiping about his family.
01:00:24Oh my god. Could it be that even Peyton thinks she's a problem?
01:00:28Doesn't make sense. I mean, Peyton's a top, well-connected lawyer. If 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.
01:00:39This must be all. I've been dreaming now.
01:00:47Maybe Bart's fine.
01:00:49He could have lived off of his family lane. I mean, he insisted on carving his own path. Now, just because some ugly random...
01:00:56Ah! Ah!
01:00:58Mr. Owens, I was just...
01:01:06Defamation 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.
01:01:17Oh, no, please. Mr. Owens, I mean, we shouldn't have been gossiping about your brother's wife.
01:01:21Please, have...
01:01:22Mr. Owens, we're so sorry. Please, let me explain. I'm so, so sorry.
01:01:26Please, no, no, please don't keep us out. Please have mercy on us, please. We'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.
01:01:38Really? You know, I was thinking I was going to have to mediate between him and Amanda. But maybe now, there's no need...
01:01:46Madam, actually...
01:01:47Amanda must be ready. She should be ready. We've got to go!
01:02:04Let's do this, yes?
01:02:06All right, everyone. We have a very special announcement to make.
