00:00:00You've got this, Bella. Do it for Ethan.
00:00:14Save your effort, Christian.
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.
00:00:23That'd be 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 in your 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.
00:01:11Ouch.
00:01:12That's embarrassing.
00:01:13Get your sorry ass off the stage.
00:01:17You're ruining it for the rest of us.
00:01:18Damn it.
00:01:19I blew it.
00:01:21I need to hold myself together.
00:01:23I can't cry in front of them.
00:01:25Just...
00:01:26Stand up.
00:01:40Don't let them see you this way.
00:01:45Who is this man?
00:01:47And why is he looking at me like...
00:01:50He knows me.
00:01:51Get up.
00:01:52I 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.
00:02:10I can't believe I screwed this up.
00:02:14The medical pills are due soon.
00:02:17Oh, God.
00:02:18Ethan.
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 like one.
00:02:30No.
00:02:31Sir.
00:02:31I wouldn't dare.
00:02:32It'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.
00:02:39You just want to completely fall off yourself.
00:02:42Hand it with me!
00:02:43I'm sorry.
00:02:45I didn't mean to.
00:02:46No one cares about your shitty life.
00:02:49Get the hell out of here.
00:02:50Give me a private room.
00:02:52Of course.
00:02:53I'll make sure we have a great time, sir.
00:02:55Not with you.
00:02:57You.
00:03:00You come with me.
00:03:07Sit down.
00:03:09Tell me why.
00:03:19What do you mean?
00:03:20Why are you stripping, Bing?
00:03:22You're not like the other girls.
00:03:25It's all for my little brother.
00:03:28He's really sick.
00:03:29He has a rare brain disease.
00:03:33I dropped out of college to pay for his medical bills, but they just keep piling up.
00:03:40This competition was my last chance to fix everything.
00:03:53And I messed it up.
00:03:55Not yet.
00:03:57I'll give you another shot.
00:03:59But you better make it count.
00:04:01I will.
00:04:02Keep your eyes on me.
00:04:30Come on.
00:04:35How many times?
00:04:37Come on.
00:04:39Come on.
00:04:40There you go.
00:04:42There you go.
00:04:46There you go.
00:04:46You got to know me.
00:04:50Come on.
00:04:52You got to know me.
00:04:53That's enough.
00:05:11Did he even like it?
00:05:13I can't get a read on him.
00:05:15He's just so serious and calm.
00:05:18Different from other people I've met.
00:05:23Let me get to the point.
00:05:26You need help, and I can provide it.
00:05:30You want to help me?
00:05:33Yes.
00:05:34But you might find my arrangement a bit unusual.
00:05:38Ever thought of having a sugar daddy?
00:05:42A sugar daddy?
00:05:46What do you mean?
00:05:48Look, I think you've got the wrong idea of me, Mr. Delaney.
00:05:52I don't want to see you anywhere near this club again.
00:05:56Let me be blunt with you.
00:05:57I'll cover all your brother's medical bills, and all the rest.
00:06:01But in return, I want you.
00:06:04But we barely know each other.
00:06:07And aren't you the biggest client here?
00:06:09I'm the owner of the hotel.
00:06:13I'm mostly here for the pool.
00:06:15You own the hotel?
00:06:17The entire thing?
00:06:18Yes, the entire thing.
00:06:21And other properties in the cities you've only dreamed of.
00:06:23If you agree to this arrangement, you'll have everything you need to make all your problems disappear.
00:06:35I don't know, sir.
00:06:38This is all just so sudden.
00:06:40Think it over.
00:06:43Whenever you're ready, give me a call.
00:06:45Taking my time in the morning
00:06:52Under the sheets when it's pouring
00:06:56Rolling the same trees
00:06:58Then on with the same dreams
00:07:01Oops, my bad.
00:07:12What did Mr. Delaney want with you?
00:07:14It's none of your business.
00:07:17Trying to worm your way into Mr. Delaney's what, huh?
00:07:20Dream on, virgin.
00:07:22You know nothing about my life.
00:07:25Do you even know what they say about Mr. Delaney?
00:07:28If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time
00:07:31fantasizing about a happily ever after with a man like him.
00:07:36There are stories about him you wouldn't even believe.
00:07:39And no woman's ever managed to get close to him.
00:07:42I'm not trying to.
00:07:43Good.
00:07:44If you did, you'd only end up hurting yourself.
00:07:58Why don't you tell me about this new job?
00:08:01You look exhausted.
00:08:02It's just a pizza parlor, Ethan.
00:08:06They stay open late.
00:08:10How are you feeling today?
00:08:12I hate this.
00:08:15I already cost you college, and now this, I'm in.
00:08:19If it's my time to go,
00:08:21maybe we should just accept it.
00:08:24Hey, don't say that.
00:08:27You're all I have left.
00:08:29I will do whatever it takes to make sure you get better.
00:08:33For both of us.
00:08:34Sorry to interrupt.
00:08:36Bella, can we talk for a moment?
00:08:38What is it, doctor?
00:08:51Uh, it's urgent.
00:08:53Ethan needs intensive care as soon as possible.
00:08:56But if you can't find the funds by tomorrow,
00:08:58the hospital's gonna have to let him go.
00:09:00Tomorrow?
00:09:01But I'm trying my best to pay the bills.
00:09:07I'm really sorry.
00:09:09Is there no one that you can ask to borrow from?
00:09:13Like your family?
00:09:15No.
00:09:16When my mom passed,
00:09:18my stepfather moved on.
00:09:20And he's taken everything.
00:09:22Money, the house.
00:09:24I'm sorry.
00:09:25I could lend you.
00:09:26Thank you, Dr. Carlson,
00:09:28but you've already done enough.
00:09:34Don't worry.
00:09:37I'll figure something out.
00:09:47Hi.
00:09:49My name is Isabella Rivera,
00:09:51and I'm here to see Mr. Marcus Delaney.
00:09:54Do you have an appointment?
00:09:56Um,
00:09:57no,
00:09:58but he's waiting for me.
00:10:00He told me to come last night.
00:10:02No way.
00:10:03If I let any gold digger go see Mr. Delaney,
00:10:05I would lose my job.
00:10:07Gold digger?
00:10:08No, I'm not a gold digger.
00:10:11I let go of me.
00:10:14But, go.
00:10:16You need to leave.
00:10:17No, I'm not a gold digger.
00:10:19Fine.
00:10:29I'll wait outside.
00:10:30It's not like this day could get any worse.
00:10:40Mom,
00:10:41what am I gonna do?
00:10:43I don't know.
00:11:13Mr. Delaney, I 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?
00:11:48On ease or wet?
00:11:53Well...
00:11:54Why do you need to see me so urgently?
00:11:59Mr. Delaney, about your offer to help me in exchange for my company, is it still on the table?
00:12:08Yes, it is.
00:12:09What made you come back?
00:12:11My brother's...
00:12:12His 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.
00:12:34Here's 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.
00:12:59I 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?
00:13:19Well, 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.
00:13:38He'll bend over the desk.
00:13:42What?
00:13:43You want me to bend over?
00:13:45You heard me.
00:13:46People here respect my authority.
00:13:47And 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.
00:13:56But I can't let him think I'll just do anything he says.
00:14:00Come here.
00:14:13You like it like this?
00:14:17Let's make something clear.
00:14:18I 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?
00:14:43Do I sleep with you?
00:14:46It's not bad.
00:14:49Relax.
00:14:50For now, we'll start with having dinner.
00:14:56But I need to change.
00:14:57Try this one on.
00:15:16Okay.
00:15:17Okay.
00:15:17Okay.
00:15:17Mr. Delaney.
00:15:35How do I look?
00:15:39Everyone will be looking at you.
00:15:40Wow.
00:16:00This place is...
00:16:02It's mine.
00:16:03It's one of many.
00:16:05I like the dinners here.
00:16:06This is yours, too?
00:16:09Jesus, do you own the entire city?
00:16:12There are stories about him you wouldn't even believe.
00:16:16And no woman's ever managed to get close to him.
00:16:18Have you ever been married?
00:16:19I find the whole concept of marriage and romance to be, uh...
00:16:26It complicates things.
00:16:28Being tied up to somebody can feel like a prison.
00:16:32But enough about me.
00:16:35Tell me more about yourself.
00:16:37You told me about your brother.
00:16:38What about the rest of your family?
00:16:40My dad died when I was young.
00:16:43And my mom...
00:16:46She passed away in a car accident a couple months ago.
00:16:49Then there's my stepdad, but he's a total asshole.
00:16:54You got a boyfriend?
00:16:56I don't have one.
00:16:58I've been too focused on other things.
00:17:01Like...
00:17:02Surviving.
00:17:03Certain pleasures in life can be pretty life-fulfilling.
00:17:09Do you like sex?
00:17:11I'm...
00:17:12I'm still a virgin.
00:17:15A virgin.
00:17:16Well, that's weird nowadays.
00:17:20What are you trying to say?
00:17:22Nothing.
00:17:24I'm willing to give you that if you want it.
00:17:27It's the only thing I have to pay you back with.
00:17:30How old are you?
00:17:3119?
00:17:3220?
00:17:33You sound like you're from the last century.
00:17:34Stop making fun of me.
00:17:38No, I'm not.
00:17:40You remind me of somebody that I used to know.
00:17:43Really?
00:17:44Is that why you picked me?
00:17:46Harshly.
00:17:47I like your honesty.
00:17:48It's refreshing.
00:17:49In a world where everybody likes to hide behind...
00:17:52masks...
00:17:53You should smile more.
00:17:56It makes you more attractive.
00:17:59That's something I expected to hear.
00:18:02Look, you don't need to worry about me.
00:18:04Our relationship will move at the pace that works for the both of us.
00:18:10Understood?
00:18:14I'm worried about my brother.
00:18:16Then let's go pay him a visit.
00:18:17You paid off the bills?
00:18:22How?
00:18:22Where'd you get the kind of money?
00:18:23You don't have to worry about that.
00:18:25Just focus on getting better and I'll handle everything else, okay?
00:18:30Yeah, Bella's right.
00:18:32Just focus on that.
00:18:34If you don't, you'll break her heart.
00:18:44I'll sort it?
00:18:45Yeah.
00:18:45They'll start Ethan's treatments as soon as possible.
00:18:53Where are we?
00:18:55Somewhere special to me.
00:18:57I always wanted to take someone with me, but I've got the chance.
00:19:01I didn't know you had such a romantic side, Mr. Delaney.
00:19:05Why don't you call me Marcus?
00:19:10I can't thank you enough for what you've done.
00:19:13You've saved my brother's life.
00:19:15I don't know how I could ever repay you.
00:19:18You know, you keep saying that.
00:19:20Do you want to repay me that badly or such a step to your words?
00:19:32Let me show you, Daddy.
00:19:35I don't know what got into me.
00:19:40Why am I imagining my first night with him?
00:19:43Why am I imagining my first night with him?
00:19:43I don't know.
00:19:53You have to abstain.
00:19:55You had to...

00:32:53Marcus, this is too much
00:32:56I can't accept it
00:32:57It isn't spoiling your job
00:33:00Thank 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
00:33:12Home
00:33:20Ah, there it is
00:33:24What are you doing here, Sam?
00:33:29Shouldn't you show a little respect to your dad, kid?
00:33:33You're not my dad
00:33:34And this is not your house
00:33:36You have no right to be here
00:33:38Then 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 her grave
00:33:53Knowing her daughter is a
00:33:55Stripper, 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
00:34:28When she needed you to be
00:34:29You ungrateful asshole
00:34:32How dare you
00:34:34You fucking bitch
00:34:35Let her go
00:34:38Who are you?
00:34:44Marcus Delaney
00:34:45That's ridiculous
00:34:46Why would the richest man in town be
00:34:48Standing up for this
00:34:49Slut?
00:34:50Hey, one more word about her
00:34:52And 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
00:34:58Get out of here
00:34:59Hey
00:35:03Hey
00:35:04You okay?
00:35:07I'm fine
00:35:08Thank you for stepping in
00:35:11How did you find me?
00:35:13You 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
00:35:30And I want to make sure that you're safe
00:35:31What's wrong?
00:35:36Hmm?
00:35:36No 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
00:35:54Going to have the family
00:35:56She always dreamed of
00:35:57But then after they got married
00:35:59Everything changed
00:36:01I saw you slept in
00:36:04I don't
00:36:07I don't usually
00:36:07I don't know what got into me
00:36:10I just
00:36:10I got so angry
00:36:11No, no, no
00:36:12You did what needed to be done
00:36:14It's good
00:36:16But honestly
00:36:17It was
00:36:18It was a turnout 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?
00:36:28You
00:36:29Want to come to the hospital with me?
00:36:34Bella
00:36:36What's going on?
00:36:38This is Mr. Delaney, Ethan
00:36:39He's my
00:36:41I'm her new boss
00:36:42Nice to meet you, Ethan
00:36:43New boss
00:36:46From the pizza place
00:36:48Well, I guess I like to make things cheesy
00:36:51That was terrible
00:36:54Well, here, just something a little
00:36:58To help your recovery
00:36:59I hope they'll do some good
00:37:01Thank you
00:37:09Mr. 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
00:37:30Well, I've 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
00:37:38Seems like a good guy
00:37:41I hope we get plenty of rest
00:37:49We're flying to Dubai this afternoon
00:37:50Dubai?
00:37:52Today?
00:37:53I 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 gowns 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?
00:38:10Yeah, there's nothing I can't do
00:38:11Prepare the luggage
00:38:14You don't own this place, too, do you?
00:38:24Mr. Delaney
00:38:25Thank you
00:38:27Thank you
00:38:27I usually stay at my own hotels when I travel
00:38:31Thank you
00:38:35You should start getting used to that
00:38:37Listen, I gotta go take care of something quick
00:38:40I'll be right back
00:38:41Well, well
00:38:48If it isn't Marcus's newest little plaything
00:38:51What are you doing here?
00:38:55Didn'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 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
00:39:46That business proposal I mentioned is
00:39:49Highly confidential
00:39:51You don't mind today?
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
00:40:18Drink, please
00:40:20Hey
00:40:23What's going on?
00:40:26I was your meeting with your partner
00:40:28What, you jealous?
00:40:32Jealous?
00:40:33Why would I be jealous?
00:40:34It's just business, right?
00:40:36Just like us
00:40:37What we have is just a contract, an agreement
00:40:40Mr. Glenn?
00:40:42Thank you
00:40:43Bella
00:40:44Look at me
00:40:45I need you to understand one thing
00:40:48You mean to me a lot more 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?
00:41:00It's Dr. Carlson
00:41:06Hey, doctor, is everything okay?
00:41:09What?
00:41:10Ethan's in the ICU
00:41:16Ethan, please
00:41:28Come back to me
00:41:31How's Ethan doing?
00:41:36I'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 goodbye
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
00:42:03Not 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 by draining the excess cerebral spinal fluid
00:42:16But
00:42:17There are risks
00:42:19What kinds of risks?
00:42:22Infection
00:42:23Bleeding
00:42:24Even further brain damage
00:42:26If it works, it could significantly improve his condition
00:42:38The success rate is promising, but it's not guaranteed
00:42:42I 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
00:43:17It 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 is that?
00:43:28Well, I mean
00:43:29People 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
00:43:45We 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 that they're going to be saved
00:43:57And
00:43:58I mean sometimes we can do that
00:44:00That must be a heavy weight to carry
00:44:04I mean it's not always easy
00:44:06But when I can like help my patients
00:44:10See the joy and relief on their face
00:44:13I mean
00:44:13That 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
00:44:39Who's that
00:44:41Older John man
00:44:42That 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 with the costs
00:44:52Oh
00:44:54Yeah
00:44:56Ethan mentioned him
00:44:57Say he's a great guy
00:45:00Yeah
00:45:01Um
00:45:02Speaking of Ethan
00:45:03What 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
00:45:15I mean I think it's our best choice
00:45:18I think the best way of moving forward
00:45:21Is to take a 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 was 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
00:46:07I 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
00:46:16I'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
00:46:25Are 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?
00:46:42Somewhere in front
00:46:43Mr. Delaney
00:46:54Hi
00:46:57Ever played pool before?
00:47:03Yes
00:47:04But I wouldn't say no
00:47:07To a refresher
00:47:08From someone as handsome as you
00:47:09There we go
00:47:15Marcus
00:47:15There are other people here
00:47:17It's okay
00:47:18Let them watch
00:47:18Put 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
00:47:37Interesting
00:47:59Oh
00:48:24Someone has all red
00:48:26We'd better do something about that.
00:48:38What's all this?
00:48:40This is the fun I was talking about.
00:48:50I don't... I don't know about this.
00:48:52Think of it as roleplay.
00:48:54An open out there.
00:48:56We'll help you get into character.
00:49:00You want me.
00:49:02And I want you.
00:49:08Just let go.
00:49:12This is about you, Lexi.
00:49:16To free up that part of you that has been held back for so long.
00:49:24Black and blue.
00:49:26In love with you.
00:49:30Broken and bruised.
00:49:32From all the abuse.
00:49:38You were right.
00:49:40It does help.
00:49:42What do you think?
00:49:44Don't go mad if anyone else sees how sexy you look right now.
00:49:56You hear me?
00:49:58Yes.
00:50:00Please.
00:51:02Then beg very nicely.
00:51:04Please.
00:51:08Then beg very nicely.
00:51:10Please.
00:51:12Sir?
00:51:14I want more.
00:51:24I want more.
00:51:26I want more.
00:51:30I want more.
00:51:32I want more.
00:51:34I want more.
00:51:36I want more.
00:51:38I want more.
00:51:40I want more.
00:51:42I want more.
00:51:44I want more.
00:51:46I want more.
00:51:48I want more.
00:51:50I want more.
00:52:06Hey, um, okay, so I have some good news.
00:52:09Now you may not be able to see Ethan yet,
00:52:11but he's showing strong signs of improvement.
00:52:15Thank you for telling me this.
00:52:18You don't know how much this means to me.
00:52:20Also, I, uh, I got you something.
00:52:24I noticed how you're always sketching
00:52:26with random pieces of paper when you're here with Ethan,
00:52:28so I thought you might find this useful.
00:52:32I didn't think you would have noticed that.
00:52:35Uh, call me Will.
00:52:37I 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.
00:52:51The type of guy I always thought I would date.
00:52:53Mmm.
00:53:02Oh, shit.
00:53:03Shhh.
00:53:04Is everything okay?
00:53:07No.
00:53:08No, it's not.
00:53:11Jenny.
00:53:13Why, hello there.
00:53:14If it isn't it's Bella Rivera, the new gold digger in town.
00:53:17You posted these photos, didn't you?
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?
00:53:27Do you have any proof?
00:53:28No?
00:53:29Then move along.
00:53:31Some 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?
00:53:39Are you really that naive to think Marcus is serious about you?
00:53:43You're just a replacement for his ex-wife.
00:53:47What?
00:53:48See for yourself.
00:53:50Go ask your beloved Marcus.
00:53:54No, it can't be.
00:53:57Stand up.
00:53:58Don't let them see you this way.
00:54:00You remind me of somebody that I used to know.
00:54:04Oh my god, you are so pathetic even I feel sorry for you.
00:54:18Fine.
00:54:19I'll tell you her name.
00:54:21Lindsay Delaney.
00:54:23It's not like it's a secret that Delaney's were famous.
00:54:27And she was the love of his life.
00:54:34Mafia?
00:54:35Marks has ties to the Mafia?
00:54:39Who are you?
00:54:40Really?

01:13:52But you made it clear it was just a deal between us. You said you didn't believe in love.

01:16:06Hmm?
01:16:07About what you said before.
01:16:09I love you, Marcus.
01:16:12There was never going to be somebody else.
01:16:15It was always going to be you.
01:16:28I may not be able to walk again.
01:16:31I'll love you no matter what.

01:17:04Hey, did you hear Julian DeLathine got arrested too?
01:17:07Yeah, Marcus told me.
01:17:09They finally got enough evidence against him.
01:17:12It's a good thing Marcus' legacy did.
01:17:15It's an item for me, okay?
01:17:17I 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.
01:17:43May I propose another contract?
01:17:49One that proves my undying love for you.
01:17:52Isabella, Rivera, would you marry me?
01:17:59Oh my God. Yes, I will.
01:18:02No.
01:18:03I've been dreaming of you.
01:18:17You, you, you.
