00:00:00You've got this, Bella. Do it for Ethan.
00:00:14Save your effort, Susan.
00:00:16I know you're desperate to pay for your brother's medical bills, but you're not going to make it.
00:00:20You want to know why?
00:00:21Because you know nothing about men.
00:00:23Bloody sexy.
00:00:24We'll see about that.
00:00:26Watch out, sweetheart.
00:00:26The spotlight could blind you.
00:00:30Let's give them a show to remember.
00:00:53Come over here, shake my ass for me.
00:00:55Take your waist, guys. We could be expensive.
00:00:57You need a little fee in your life.
00:00:59You need a little real life.
00:01:00Oh, yeah, babe. Move those legs.
00:01:01I want to see the sea in your eyes.
00:01:03You need to be free.
00:01:04Shit.
00:01:11Ouch.
00:01:12That's embarrassing.
00:01:13Get your sorry ass off the stage. You're ruining it for the rest of us.
00:01:18Damn it. I blew it.
00:01:21I need to hold myself together. I can't cry in front of them. Just...
00:01:26Stand up. Don't let them see you this way.
00:01:45Who is this man?
00:01:47And why is he looking at me like he knows me?
00:01:51Get up. I don't have all night.
00:01:59Have we met before?
00:02:01I don't think so.
00:02:03I'm so sorry, Mr. Delaney.
00:02:06Please have a seat and have some fun with us.
00:02:09And don't mind this stupid amateur.
00:02:12I can't believe I screwed this up.
00:02:14The medical pills are due soon.
00:02:16Oh, God. Ethan.
00:02:19Stop.
00:02:20This is a place for fun.
00:02:22Not for your pathetic mess.
00:02:25Can you even hear me?
00:02:28Now you're ruining my fun.
00:02:30No.
00:02:31Sir.
00:02:32I wouldn't dare.
00:02:33It's just...
00:02:34You're the biggest name in the club, in this whole city.
00:02:37I was only trying to teach you a lesson for spoiling the name.
00:02:40You.
00:02:41You're so completely full of yourself.
00:02:42Hand of me!
00:02:43I'm sorry.

00:11:13Mr. Delaney?
00:11:22I thought you had left.
00:11:27You turned me down just a few hours ago, and now you're already back?
00:11:32Yeah, I...
00:11:35My kindness and my time comes at the cost.
00:11:37You're making me...
00:11:47What? Unheased or wet?
00:11:53Well...
00:11:54Why do you need to see me so urgently?
00:11:58Mr. Delaney, about your offer.
00:12:03To help me in exchange for my company.
00:12:05Is it still on the table?
00:12:08Yes, it is.
00:12:09What made you come back?
00:12:11My brother's...
00:12:13His medical bills are due today.
00:12:17I see.
00:12:18Money isn't an issue, but I need you to understand what you're stepping into.
00:12:22Becoming my sugar babe.
00:12:24I will own your time and attention.
00:12:27Everything will be mine.
00:12:30I understand.
00:12:32I've made my decision, and I won't change it.
00:12:34I hear something to start with.
00:12:50That should be enough to cover the bills for now.
00:12:53There's more if you perform well.
00:12:56Mr. Delaney, this is more than I need.
00:12:58I want you to stop working at the club.
00:13:01From now on, you only work for me.
00:13:04Of course, sir.
00:13:07I don't know how to thank you.
00:13:09Or even begin to repay you.
00:13:12Well, we'll take this one step at a time.
00:13:14But I do have certain requirements.
00:13:17What requirements?
00:13:18Well, this is strictly going to be business.
00:13:25There will be a contract for you to sign.
00:13:28But for starters, I need to see your submission.
00:13:32What do you mean by submission?
00:13:35Is this an assignment?
00:13:36Yes.
00:13:38Now bend over the desk.
00:13:39What?
00:13:43You want me to bend over?
00:13:45You heard me.
00:13:46People here respect my authority.
00:13:48And it's important that you do understand that as well.
00:13:51So he's the dominant type.
00:13:54Damn.
00:13:55That's kind of hot.
00:13:57But I can't let him think I'll just do anything he says.
00:14:01Come here.
00:14:01Come here.
00:14:01Come here.
00:14:01Come here.
00:14:02Come here.

00:14:08Come here.
00:14:09You like it like this.
00:14:17Let's make something clear.
00:14:19I decide if I want to do this.
00:14:32That's enough.
00:14:33You passed the test.
00:14:34So, what am I supposed to be doing?
00:14:44Do I sleep with you?
00:14:46It's that bad.

00:21:39Mr. Delaney, I'm sorry.
00:21:40I saw your name.
00:21:42My past is not of your concern.
00:21:44Stay out of my office.
00:21:46Did you really?
00:21:48Hey, we have an agreement, though, and nothing else.
00:21:52So stop asking about it.
00:21:55Right.
00:22:03Bella, you're coming with me to Gala tonight.
00:22:08You should go get ready.
00:22:08What's wrong?
00:22:23These people, but this place, it's just, it's a totally different world.
00:22:30You should be yourself.
00:22:31Everything will be fine.
00:22:32So you're doing great.
00:22:44Well, because of you.
00:22:47Oh!
00:22:49Sharp as ever, sweet guy.
00:22:52Sweetheart?
00:22:53I see you never change, huh?
00:22:55Grace?
00:22:56I'm just having fun.
00:23:00Mrs. Isabella.
00:23:01She is my date.
00:23:04Hi.
00:23:05I'm Grace.
00:23:06Marcus's ex.
00:23:07You must be the stripper I've been hearing about.
00:23:13The stripper?
00:23:15I'm surprised they even let you in here.
00:23:18It's a very distinguished event.
00:23:20Not really a place for the dancers.
00:23:24Am I right?
00:23:25We don't have a ball here.
00:23:30Sweetheart.
00:23:31It's time to go back to where you belong.
00:23:34Security!
00:23:35Hey, go!
00:23:39Hey!
00:23:40Let go of her.
00:23:43She's with me.
00:23:45And if any one of you has a problem with that, you have to go through me.
00:23:49Your standards have really gone down, Marcus.
00:23:53I value Bella for who she is.
00:23:55I will pass this in the finest.
00:23:57Okay, but isn't that a little insulting to the rest of us?
00:24:02Marcus, think of your status, Marcus.
00:24:07This is beneath you.
00:24:12I've been called many things before.
00:24:14An arrogant, a liar, and even a murderer!
00:24:17And I've never given any of that a second talk.
00:24:21I have found myself attracted, hopelessly attracted to someone who is very close to me.
00:24:30Very much so.
00:24:32It looks like you don't know him as well as you think you do, of course.
00:24:53Aren't you treating me a little too nicely, Marcus?
00:24:56What do you mean?
00:25:01This thing between us.
00:25:03Whatever it is, it won't last.
00:25:05I know it.
00:25:07You're a man with more experience than most, and I'm...
00:25:11To you, this is all just a game.
00:25:15Some harmless fun, but to me...
00:25:17I understand.
00:25:21But I've never expected anything from you.
00:25:23I told you that.
00:25:25I know you want me, Marcus.
00:25:28I can see it in the way you look at me.
00:25:30I'm not blind.
00:25:32I brought you here for a reason.
00:25:34I wanted to make things clear between the two of us.
00:25:36Yes, I would be lying if I would say that I don't crave you.
00:25:42But that's not all.
00:25:44I don't want you the way you think.
00:25:47Bella, I want you to be mine.
00:25:50I don't know what to say.
00:25:51I want your mind, body, and soul.
00:26:10Do you really want me, Marcus?
00:26:11Yes.
00:26:13Let's go.
00:26:14Where do we go?
00:26:16Home.
00:26:17I have a little surprise for you.
00:26:19Shh.
00:26:21Are you trying to be a bad girl tonight?
00:26:26Only for you.
00:26:28You do know there's a price for being a bad girl, don't you?
00:26:33Oh, I do.
00:26:35But wouldn't it be more fun?
00:26:43You always obey me, won't you?
00:26:46Yes, sir.
00:26:47I'm yours.
00:26:57Mind, body, and soul.
00:27:01No, Bella, that's not what I meant.
00:27:04You really don't get it, do you?
00:27:06You're just a blank page after all.
00:27:12No, Bella, wait.
00:27:14I'm sorry.
00:27:16Please sit down.
00:27:17How can you say that?
00:27:24You really don't know me.
00:27:26I'm not like the others.
00:27:28I have my own dreams, my own ambitions.
00:27:32Speak up, then.
00:27:32I want to know more about you.
00:27:34My mom was an incredible interior designer.
00:27:38She had this way of turning houses into homes.
00:27:42Places full of warmth and love.
00:27:46Is that what you want to do?
00:27:49Yeah.
00:27:51Before my brother got sick, I was studying at Parsons.
00:27:54I wanted to be just like her, because I grew up never knowing what it felt like to have a real home.
00:28:04And now I've even lost the home she left behind.
00:28:09It's so unfair.
00:28:11I already lost my mother and my career.
00:28:14I can't lose my brother, too.
00:28:17Come here.
00:28:19I won't let that happen, I promise.
00:28:21Hey, have you had dinner yet?
00:28:29I was thinking I could...
00:28:33Marcus!
00:28:35Marcus!
00:28:37Marcus, can you hear me?
00:28:38That feels right there in the box.
00:28:59Well, don't worry about it.
00:29:00It's nothing serious.
00:29:02Marcus, how long has this been going on?
00:29:04Have you been to the hospital?
00:29:06I don't have time for hospitals.
00:29:09Don't worry about it.
00:29:13Marcus, you didn't answer my question.
00:29:15How long have you been taking these painkillers?
00:29:18Stop interrogating me.
00:29:20I don't pay you for this.
00:29:21Marcus, don't shut me out.
00:29:24I might understand better than you think.
00:29:27How could you?
00:29:29Because I know how you feel.
00:29:32When my mother passed, I couldn't sleep.
00:29:36I had to rely heavily on sleeping pills.
00:29:38At first, they helped.
00:29:42But then, I got addicted.
00:29:44I started having trouble breathing and feeling like I was drowning, even when I wasn't.
00:29:50Yeah.
00:29:51I had a family once.
00:29:53A wife and a beautiful daughter.
00:29:58You had a family?
00:30:01But I lost them.
00:30:02What happened?
00:30:03But you can tell me, Marcus.
00:30:07Well, let's just say, it changed everything.
00:30:11I started working nonstop.
00:30:13Yeah.
00:30:15You know, no matter how much I worked, how much I earned, I just felt more alone.
00:30:21Like I could never have a family again.
00:30:24But you're not alone, Marcus.
00:30:26Marcus, you have me.
00:30:29I know what we have is just an arrangement, but I can still be your family.
00:30:37I'm sorry if I said too much.
00:30:40Yeah, you did.
00:30:42And there's consequences for that.
00:30:44I need you to make me yours.
00:31:11Is that what you really want, Belle?
00:31:17I trust you, Marcus.
00:31:21I'm ready.
00:31:21Are you nervous?
00:31:42No.
00:31:43Are you?
00:31:44I'll make you regret ever asking me that.
00:31:46You're mine.
00:32:08I'm yours.
00:32:10I'm all yours.
00:32:11I'm all yours.
00:32:13Oh my gosh.
00:32:34When we get hot
00:32:37We make it crazy
00:32:39We stop the clock
00:32:41And take the payments
00:32:43Do you like a gift?
00:32:53Marcus, this is too much
00:32:56I can't accept it
00:32:57Isn't spoiling much of it?
00:33:01Thank you, but...
00:33:03Take it for a spin
00:33:04Have fun with it
00:33:05Okay
00:33:07I'm swinging by my old house
00:33:10To grab you from some headphones
00:33:11I'll see you tonight
00:33:12Oh
00:33:15There it is
00:33:24What are you doing here, Sam?
00:33:29Shouldn't you show a little respect to your dad, kid?
00:33:31You're not my dad
00:33:34And this is not your house
00:33:36You have no right to be here
00:33:38And how come I have these, huh?
00:33:45Because you stole them from my mom
00:33:47This house belongs to Ethan and I
00:33:50Don't make me laugh
00:33:51Your mother's probably rolling around in a grave
00:33:53Knowing her daughter is a stripper, a tramp, and a thief
00:33:57What are you talking about?
00:33:59The Rolex she gave me
00:34:00It's gone missing
00:34:02I think you took it
00:34:04That's ridiculous
00:34:07I haven't even been home lately
00:34:09Why don't you ask your new girlfriend?
00:34:12Not me
00:34:13Look, I know you don't like her
00:34:14But your mother's been gone for months
00:34:17A man's gotta move on
00:34:19I have needs
00:34:20Move on?
00:34:22You moved on long before mom died
00:34:25She gave you everything
00:34:27And you were never there for her when she needed you to be
00:34:30You ungrateful asshole
00:34:32How dare you, you fucking bitch
00:34:35Let her go
00:34:38Who, who are you?
00:34:44Marcus Delaney
00:34:45That's ridiculous
00:34:46Why would the richest man in town be standing up for this slack?
00:34:50Hey, one more word about her and I'll make sure it'll be your last
00:34:53Get that?
00:34:56Yes, sir
00:34:57No, sir
00:34:57Get out
00:34:58Get out of here
00:34:59Hey, you okay?
00:35:07I'm fine
00:35:08Thank you for stepping in
00:35:11How did you find me?
00:35:15You told me you were coming here
00:35:17But I didn't tell you where it was
00:35:19Did you?
00:35:22Are you following me?
00:35:27I just know you
00:35:28You're my baby and I want to make sure that you're safe
00:35:31What's wrong?
00:35:36Hmm?
00:35:38No one's cared about me like this
00:35:41Not since mom
00:35:43Sam didn't deserve her
00:35:46When he first came into our lives
00:35:49He was perfect
00:35:50He was kind
00:35:51Supportive
00:35:52Mom thought she was finally going to have the family she always dreamed of
00:35:57But then after they got married
00:35:59Everything changed
00:36:01I'm sorry you slapped him
00:36:04I don't usually
00:36:07I don't know what got into me
00:36:10I just
00:36:10I got so angry
00:36:12You did what needed to be done
00:36:14It's good
00:36:16Honestly it was
00:36:18It was a turn out to me
00:36:21Are you teasing me?
00:36:25Don't be silly
00:36:25How about we get those headphones to Ethan now?
00:36:29You want to come to the hospital with me?
00:36:32Bella
00:36:36What's going on?
00:36:38This is Mr. Delaney, Ethan
00:36:40He's my...
00:36:41I'm her new boss
00:36:42Nice to meet you, Ethan
00:36:43New boss
00:36:47From the pizza place
00:36:49Well, I guess I like to make things cheesy
00:36:51That was terrible
00:36:54Well, here, just something a little to help your recovery
00:36:59I hope they'll do some good
00:37:01Thank you, Mr. Delaney
00:37:11Call me Marcus
00:37:12Oh, Marcus, you must be some special bonus
00:37:16Bella's never brought anyone to see me before
00:37:18Ethan
00:37:18Marcus is just really supportive
00:37:23That's all
00:37:24Well, your sister told me a lot about you
00:37:26Keep chasing that dream of becoming a musician
00:37:28I will once I get out of here
00:37:31Well, I got some work to manage
00:37:33I'll leave you two to catch up
00:37:35If you need a ride home, call Jason
00:37:38Sounds like a good guy
00:37:41I hope we get plenty of room
00:37:48And rest, we're flying to Dubai this afternoon
00:37:50Dubai?
00:37:51Today?
00:37:52I have a meeting with a new business partner tomorrow
00:37:56Who wants you to come with me
00:37:57And don't forget to pack the gallons that I got you
00:38:01There will be some important events to attend
00:38:03But my passport has expired
00:38:06Not anymore, I took care of it
00:38:08You did?
00:38:09Yeah, there's nothing I can do
00:38:11Prepare the luggage
00:38:14You don't own this place too, do you?
00:38:24Mr. Delaney, ma'am
00:38:25Thank you
00:38:27I usually stay at my own hotels when I travel
00:38:32Thank you
00:38:35You should start getting used to that
00:38:37Listen, I gotta go take care of something quick
00:38:41I'll be right back
00:38:41Well, well, if it isn't Marcus's news that'll plaything
00:38:51What are you doing here?
00:38:54Didn't Marcus tell you?
00:38:56He came all the way here for me
00:38:58For you?
00:39:01He wanted to come alone, but I insisted he bring you along
00:39:05But we'll always have our own little secrets that he'll never tell you about, though
00:39:10What are you talking about?
00:39:13I don't believe you
00:39:14Because I know what he needs
00:39:17He may be all over you for now, but
00:39:20A guy like that will never end up with a girl like you
00:39:24Isn't that right?
00:39:31Let's keep this professional
00:39:32We're a business partner only
00:39:34Nothing else
00:39:35She must be lying
00:39:37Trying to get under my skin
00:39:38I won't let this happen
00:39:40Whatever you say
00:39:42But it would be good if Bella could give us a moment alone
00:39:47That business proposal I mentioned is highly confidential
00:39:51You don't mind, Sid?
00:39:56Fine
00:39:56I'll go
00:39:58We'll pick this up later
00:40:07Don't keep me waiting
00:40:09I won't
00:40:10Drink, please
00:40:20Hey
00:40:23What's going on?
00:40:26How was your meeting with your partner?
00:40:29What, you jealous?
00:40:32Jealous?
00:40:33Why would I be jealous?
00:40:35It's just business, right?
00:40:36Just like us
00:40:37What we have is just a contract, an agreement
00:40:41Mr. Glenn?
00:40:42Thank you
00:40:43And Bella
00:40:44Look at me
00:40:45I need you to understand one thing
00:40:48You mean to me a lot
00:40:49More than she ever did
00:40:50She's my past
00:40:53You're my present
00:40:55But your past
00:40:57Like, why is your past so complicated?
00:41:05It's Dr. Carlson
00:41:06Hey
00:41:08Doctor, is everything okay?
00:41:13What?
00:41:15Ethan's in the ICU
00:41:16Ethan, please
00:41:28Come back to me
00:41:31How's Ethan doing?
00:41:38I'm not sure
00:41:39But it's not looking good
00:41:41Everything will be alright
00:41:44I'm still tied up in Dubai
00:41:46But I'll be there as soon as I can
00:41:48Okay
00:41:49Doctor, what's going on with Ethan?
00:41:55His cranial pressure has spiked
00:41:56Now we're doing everything we can to stabilize him
00:41:59But it's critical right now
00:42:00Can I see him?
00:42:01No, not yet
00:42:02We can't allow visitors in right now
00:42:04Not with the condition he said
00:42:05Please
00:42:06Doctor, there must be something we can do
00:42:09We're considering a specialized intubation procedure
00:42:12It's meant to relieve the pressure
00:42:14By draining the excess cerebral spinal fluid
00:42:16But
00:42:17There are risks
00:42:19What kinds of risks?
00:42:23Infection
00:42:24Bleeding
00:42:24Even further brain damage
00:42:31If it works, it could significantly improve his condition
00:42:38The success rate is promising
00:42:40But it's not guaranteed
00:42:42And the cost?
00:42:45It's expensive
00:42:48I don't know if Ethan's insurance will cover it
00:42:51I need some air
00:42:54Um, I know a place
00:42:57Follow me
00:42:58I see why you come here when you're stressed
00:43:12Yeah
00:43:12Sometimes you need a break from all the chaos happening downstairs
00:43:16Yeah, I can imagine
00:43:18It must take a toll on you after a while
00:43:21Yeah, I mean it does, but
00:43:24I don't regret a second of it
00:43:26Why's that?
00:43:29Oh, I mean
00:43:30People think that we're working so hard
00:43:32Just to try to prevent the inevitable
00:43:35But
00:43:36I mean when the time comes
00:43:38My job has one thing different
00:43:40Than any other job
00:43:42What is that?
00:43:45Hope
00:43:46We bring hope
00:43:48People
00:43:49People need that, Bella
00:43:52They want to believe
00:43:54That it's not the end
00:43:56And
00:43:56That they're going to be saved
00:43:58And
00:43:58I mean
00:43:59Sometimes we can do that
00:44:01That must be a heavy weight to carry
00:44:04I mean
00:44:06It's not always easy
00:44:06But
00:44:08When I can like
00:44:09Help my patients
00:44:10See the joy
00:44:12And relief on their face
00:44:13I mean
00:44:14That makes it worth it
00:44:17Must be beautiful
00:44:19I understand what you're going through
00:44:21No, like
00:44:23Trust me
00:44:24I've been there
00:44:25But I know
00:44:27Ethan is going to be fine
00:44:28Well
00:44:30Let's hope you're right
00:44:33I was wanting to ask you something
00:44:40Who's that
00:44:41Older gentleman
00:44:43That you've been hanging out with
00:44:44What's your relationship with him?
00:44:49He's actually the one
00:44:51That's been helping me
00:44:51With the cost
00:44:52Oh
00:44:54Yeah
00:44:56Ethan mentioned him
00:44:58Say he's a great guy
00:45:00Yeah
00:45:01Um
00:45:02Speaking of Ethan
00:45:04What do you think I should do about him?
00:45:08Um
00:45:08I mean
00:45:10He has a rare condition
00:45:12The operation I mentioned is risky
00:45:15But
00:45:16I mean
00:45:17I think it's our best choice
00:45:18I think the best way of moving forward
00:45:21Is to take
00:45:22A calculated risk
00:45:23I see
00:45:25I guess I have no other choice then
00:45:29I have to figure out a way to pay for everything
00:45:32I can help you if you ever need anything
00:45:38Bring the luggage to the bedroom
00:45:45You got it boss
00:45:46How's it then?
00:45:52Have you made your decision about the operation yet?
00:45:55Yes
00:45:56We're moving forward with the surgery
00:45:58Good
00:45:59I'm sure he'll be alright Bella
00:46:01Thanks
00:46:03There's
00:46:06Also something
00:46:08I know what's on your mind
00:46:09Don't worry about the money
00:46:12Everything will be taken care of
00:46:14But it's really expensive
00:46:17I'll do anything for Ethan
00:46:19As long as it makes you happy
00:46:20Besides it's nothing compared to what you have done for me
00:46:23My headaches after all of these years are finally getting better
00:46:26And it's all because of you
00:46:28I'm really glad to hear that
00:46:31I can't thank you enough for what you've done for me
00:46:35And for Ethan
00:46:36Let's get out of here
00:46:38You need to relax a little bit
00:46:40Where are we going?
00:46:43Somewhere fun
00:46:53Mr. Billy
00:46:54Hi
00:46:57Ever played pool before?
00:47:04Yes
00:47:04But I wouldn't say no to a refresher from someone as handsome as you
00:47:09Marcus
00:47:15There are other people here
00:47:17It's okay
00:47:18Let them watch
00:47:19Put your hand in the front
00:47:21Get low
00:47:23And really look at the ball
00:47:25Nice shot
00:47:31It's your time to impress me
00:47:34Hold this
00:47:38Interesting
00:47:59Interesting
00:47:59Oh, someone is all wet
00:48:26We'd better do something about that
00:48:30What's all this?
00:48:41This is the fun I was talking about
00:48:43I don't know about this
00:48:53Think of it as role play
00:48:54Let it open out there
00:48:56We hope you get into character
00:48:59You want me
00:49:02And I want you
00:49:05Just let go
00:49:10This is about you
00:49:13Relaxing
00:49:15To free up that part of you
00:49:18That has been held back for so long
00:49:20Black and blue
00:49:26In love with you
00:49:29Broken and bruised
00:49:32From all the abuse
00:49:35You were right
00:49:38It does help
00:49:40What do you think?
00:49:43Don't go mad if anyone else sees how sexy you look right now
00:49:46Do you hear me?
00:49:56Yes
00:49:58This is the best
00:50:10That's the best
00:50:11That's the best
00:50:44I want more.
00:51:01Then beg for it nicely.
00:51:04Please.
00:51:07Then beg for it nicely.
00:51:11Please.
00:51:12Sir?
00:51:13I want more.
00:51:14I want more.
00:51:43I want more.
00:51:44Oh
00:52:05Hey
00:52:07Okay, so I have some good news
00:52:09Now you may not be able to see Ethan yet, but he's showing strong signs of improvement
00:52:15Thank you for telling me this. You don't know how much this means to me
00:52:20Also, I uh, I got you something. I
00:52:24Notice how you're always sketching with random pieces of paper when you're here with Ethan, so I
00:52:30Thought you might find this useful
00:52:32I didn't think you would have noticed that
00:52:35Call me Will. I do have an identity outside of the hospital, you know
00:52:41You do look kind of cute when you're not in scrubs
00:52:45He's so different from Marcus
00:52:47Simple straightforward and kind
00:52:49The type of guy I always thought I would date
00:52:53Hmm
00:53:02Shit
00:53:06Is everything okay?
00:53:07No, no, it's not
00:53:09Jenny
00:53:10Why hello there, if it isn't this Bella Rivera, the new gold digger in town
00:53:16You posted these photos, didn't you?
00:53:18I have no idea what you're talking about
00:53:20I have no idea what you're talking about
00:53:22You were the only one that knew I was in a private room with Marcus
00:53:26So, do you have any proof?
00:53:28No?
00:53:29Then move along
00:53:30Some of us have to work for a living
00:53:33Honestly, I don't even understand what's got you so worked up
00:53:37You know it's true, don't you?
00:53:39Were you really that naive to think Marcus is serious about you?
00:53:42You're just a replacement for his ex-wife
00:53:48What?
00:53:49See for yourself
00:53:57Go ask your beloved Marcus
00:53:58No, it can't be
00:54:01No, it can't be
00:54:04Stand up, don't let them see you this way
00:54:09You remind me of somebody that I used to know
00:54:12Oh my god
00:54:13You are so pathetic, even I feel sorry for you
00:54:17Fine
00:54:19I'll tell you her name
00:54:21Lindsay Delaney
00:54:22Delaney
00:54:24It's not like it's a secret
00:54:25The Delaney's were famous
00:54:27And she
00:54:28Was the love of his life
00:54:49Althea
00:54:51This has ties to the Mafia?
00:55:00Who are you?
00:55:01Really?
00:55:03Lindsay?
00:55:20I've been trying to call you
00:55:22Why did you pick up?
00:55:24No reason
00:55:25I was just in the bathroom
00:55:27You okay?
00:55:28Michelle?
00:55:30I'm fine
00:55:32Just...
00:55:33A little distracted, I guess
00:55:35It's about Ethan, isn't it?
00:55:38Don't worry, he's going to be okay
00:55:41Yeah, I know
00:55:43So...
00:55:45Why are you calling?
00:55:47I need you to come to your mother's house
00:55:50My mom's house?
00:55:53Let go of me!
00:55:54Don't fucking move
00:55:55Let go of me!
00:55:57Hey!
00:56:01What's going on?
00:56:03We're here to settle some long overdue matters with Alcott
00:56:06It's time the truth came out
00:56:08What the fuck are you doing in my house?
00:56:09Your house?
00:56:10Your house?
00:56:12This document proves your years of infidelity
00:56:15and financial misconduct
00:56:17It shows your embezzlement of funds that rightfully belong to Itabella
00:56:21and Ethan Rivera
00:56:29How could you?
00:56:31Mom trusted you
00:56:32Mom trusted you
00:56:33and you betrayed her
00:56:34I... I didn't do it here, Alcott
00:56:36I don't think you could deny this any further
00:56:40Marcus, how did you know about all this?
00:56:43I promised you it helped, didn't I?
00:56:45This is total bullshit!
00:56:48You have no fucking proof!
00:56:50You have no right to treat me this way!
00:56:52Get the fuck out of my house!
00:56:56Marcus, who is he?
00:56:57They work for me!
00:56:59Your relinquency control of your property, Mr. Alcott
00:57:03Sign the contract
00:57:05I'm not fucking signing anything!
00:57:08You'll want to reconsider that, Sam
00:57:10I'm doing you a favor
00:57:12Sign it!
00:57:14Well, let's just say the consequences won't be as pretty
00:57:18How does Marcus have all this power?
00:57:21Is it because of his mafia connections?
00:57:24They'll handle the rest
00:57:25Let's get out of here
00:57:26Let's do something else
00:57:27Let's do something else
00:57:56So this is what you've come to the left home for
00:58:01Thank you for saving my house
00:58:04Ethan's going to be so happy to hear it
00:58:07How did you even manage that?
00:58:09I mean, it must have been hard to find all those documents
00:58:12Let the past be the past
00:58:16Let's not talk about it anymore
00:58:18And just relax
00:58:19It seems like part of you isn't relaxed enough
00:58:30You're blaming?
00:58:31Blaming?
00:58:46Just like that
00:58:47What's the answer?
00:58:48What is the situation?
00:58:50Not as much of a problem, but it was a massive problem
00:58:53Let's get out of here
00:58:54Let's try it out here
00:58:55If you've never imagined
00:58:57It feels like nothing
00:58:59It's a great problem
00:59:01You're listening to a regular time
00:59:03You're asking yourself a lot who is?
00:59:05Let's do something else
00:59:07You're telling yourself
00:59:09It's something else
00:59:11You're asking yourself
00:59:12You're asking yourself

01:05:56I know exactly what to do with it.
01:06:05Hi.
01:06:07Is it okay to visit Ethan today?
01:06:09Ethan, um, we don't have a patient here by that name.
01:06:14What?
01:06:15Dr. Carlson.
01:06:18Will, where's Ethan?
01:06:19Ethan's fine. Calm down.
01:06:22He's moved to a regular ward now that he's more stable.
01:06:25God, really?
01:06:27Yes, of course.
01:06:29Can I go see him?
01:06:30Yes, of course.
01:06:37You should try talking to him.
01:06:40Some patients start showing better signs when they hear a familiar voice.
01:06:45Hey, Ethan.
01:06:47It's Bella.
01:06:49I was thinking about that one time the other day, on Halloween, when you saved all the candy corn because you knew it was my favorite.
01:06:59And at the A.T.H. concert, I think that was the first time I saw you smile since Mom passed.
01:07:05Ethan, I don't want you to become just another memory.
01:07:13There's still so much I want to do with you, and I need you to come back.
01:07:19What can you tell us about her metaphor from when she was born to...
01:07:27Mr. Rivera, is it true you're with Marcus Delaney for his inheritance?
01:07:31Any comments on your past as a stripper?
01:07:33Where's your brother?
01:07:34Can we talk to him?
01:07:35Okay, stop, stop, stop.
01:07:37Stay close to me.
01:07:39Is that your true?
01:07:40How much is this imperative?
01:07:42I mean, come on.
01:07:43Please tell us, this is as much as imperative.
01:07:46Is there a ring in your view, sir?
01:07:47How do you feel about cancer fakers?
01:07:49Maybe...
01:07:50Are you a real doctor?
01:07:55Shh, shh.
01:07:57We should be good here.
01:08:00Wait, where are they?
01:08:02We should be good here.
01:08:16I'm sorry.
01:08:17I didn't think they'd follow me all the way to the hospital.
01:08:20Don't apologize.
01:08:21It's not your fault.
01:08:22I can't imagine the pressure of being with someone so popular.
01:08:29He's...
01:08:29He's been helpful to me.
01:08:32You already have so much on your plate.
01:08:34You shouldn't take on more.
01:08:37Well...
01:08:38I don't want to be just Dr. Carlson to you anymore.
01:08:45I feel like this...
01:08:46You already know this, but...
01:08:48I've fallen for you, Bella.
01:08:52I...
01:08:53I don't know what to say.
01:08:56Oh, you don't have to say anything.
01:08:58I just wanted to tell you how I feel.
01:09:02What should I do about Marcus?
01:09:06I wouldn't even have this house back if it weren't for him.
01:09:10But with Will, everything just feels so easy.
01:09:14How did they find me?
01:09:19Where the hell have you been?
01:09:25I've been trying to reach you all day.
01:09:27Listen to me.
01:09:28You don't disappear on me without an explanation.
01:09:30I'm sorry.
01:09:34I had to wait for the paparazzi to leave my mom's house.
01:09:38Well, they followed you.
01:09:40They're everywhere.
01:09:41They even went to the hospital.
01:09:43Come here.
01:09:46Sit down.
01:09:49I'll have Jason handle it.
01:09:51They won't bother me anymore.
01:09:54Where's Ethan?
01:09:57He got out of the ICU.
01:10:00And the surgery is in two days.
01:10:03I'll have an important meeting that day.
01:10:08I'll try to be there as soon as I can.
01:10:11That's okay.
01:10:12You don't have to.
01:10:14No, I won't to.
01:10:24The surgery was successful.
01:10:26Ethan pulled through greatly.
01:10:28That's amazing.
01:10:29He's unconscious right now, but you can see him already.
01:10:31Ethan, it's Bella.
01:10:39Thank you for being so strong.
01:10:44Bella?
01:10:45Bella!
01:10:47Bella, what's wrong?
01:10:50I don't know.
01:10:52We'll have to see.
01:10:53Yeah, because you've been working yourself so much.
01:10:56The hell is going on around here?
01:10:58Marcus, no!
01:11:01Mr. Delaney, I presume.
01:11:06Get your hands off of her.
01:11:08She's mine.
01:11:09She's yours.
01:11:11When did she ever become yours?
01:11:13I'm going to say this one last time.
01:11:15She belongs to me.
01:11:17Wait, this is unbelievable.
01:11:18She's going through so much,
01:11:20and all you're thinking about is trying to control her?
01:11:22I wasn't sure about it at first,
01:11:25but now I'm certain you're bad for her.
01:11:27Bella?
01:11:29Ethan, I'm here.
01:11:31How are you feeling?
01:11:33I can't breathe.
01:11:35Yeah, no, it's because you just went through a major surgery, all right?
01:11:38You're okay.
01:11:39It's just going to take some time to adjust.
01:11:43You're doing great, Ethan.
01:11:44Hey, you said there was something you wanted to talk to me about?
01:11:56I want to terminate our contract.
01:11:57Oh, why?
01:12:03Is this about what happened with Will, Dr. Carlson?
01:12:07No.
01:12:08I want you to be free.
01:12:11Especially now, since Ethan's condition is improving,
01:12:13I don't want you to be bound by this contract any longer.
01:12:24So, you're not jealous?
01:12:27Yes and no.
01:12:31I think it's time that we reassess what we are.
01:12:57I hope I can see you again, Mr. Delaney.
01:13:02Thank you for everything you've done for me and for Ethan.
01:13:09Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:13:11I'm not finished.
01:13:14I...
01:13:15Now, since the contract is over,
01:13:17there's something I need to tell you.
01:13:19Bella, I love you.
01:13:26And I want a future with you.
01:13:36What did you say?
01:13:38Damn it, Bella.
01:13:39I said I love you.
01:13:40And it's not because of Lindsay or the damn contract.
01:13:46It's because of who you are.
01:13:48You changed my life.
01:13:50And I want to spend the rest of it with you.
01:13:52But you made it clear it was just a deal between us.
01:13:57You said you didn't believe in love.
01:14:00Yeah.
01:14:02For the longest time, I thought love would make me weak.
01:14:05But then you came along.
01:14:07You showed me that we can be...
01:14:09It can make us stronger together.
01:14:10I'm ready to fully commit to this.
01:14:14To us.
01:14:17Bella, be mine.
01:14:19I don't know.
01:14:21Marcus, this is just so sudden.
01:14:25I need time to figure things out.
01:14:29Yeah, I understand.
01:14:33Take all the time you need.
01:14:34Just like the first time when I brought up the deal.
01:14:37And if you choose to be with Dr. Carlson over there,
01:14:40I...
01:14:41But there's one thing I want you to know.
01:14:45I want to protect you for the rest of my life.
01:14:48I'm serious about that.
01:15:03You took everything from me.
01:15:10Are you all right?
01:15:19Why are you so fucking persistent?
01:15:26Oh, no!
01:15:27Marcus!
01:15:27Marcus, are you okay?
01:15:29This is a force.
01:15:34Marcus!
01:15:35I don't know if I can't get help.
01:15:38Please!
01:15:39Please!
01:15:49Marcus!
01:15:50Hey.
01:15:51How are you feeling?
01:15:53I'm all right.
01:15:55I can't believe you did that.
01:15:58I'll do it again.
01:15:59I'll do anything to keep you safe.
01:16:05Marcus, I have to tell you something.
01:16:07Hmm?
01:16:07About what you said before.
01:16:09I love you, Marcus.
01:16:13There was never going to be somebody else.
01:16:16It was always going to be you.
01:16:18But I may not be able to walk again.
01:16:32I'll love you no matter what.
01:16:34I feel so good now that Sam's in jail.
01:16:50You still need to be careful, though.
01:16:53Will only agreed to let you come home as a trial, remember?
01:16:55I know, I know, I know.
01:16:56It's just...
01:16:57We're here.
01:16:59The home we grew up in.
01:17:00This is going to do a lot of good for me.
01:17:02Okay?
01:17:02I know.
01:17:03I feel it.
01:17:04Hey.
01:17:05Did you hear Julian de Levine got arrested, too?
01:17:07Yeah.
01:17:08Marcus told me.
01:17:09They finally got enough evidence against him.
01:17:12It's a good thing Marcus' legacy did.
01:17:15Okay?
01:17:16Say hide him for me, okay?
01:17:18I will.
01:17:19Marcus, what is all this?
01:17:33This is your new office.
01:17:35Your own interior design studio.
01:17:38Marcus, I can't believe it.
01:17:44May I propose another contract?
01:17:50One that proves my undying love for you.
01:17:54Isabella, Rivera, would you marry me?
01:18:00Oh my God.
01:18:01Yes, I will.
01:18:02My undying love for you.
01:18:09Beetle.
01:18:09Yes, I will.
01:18:10Just let your student play.
01:18:11Oh my God.
