1. 0:00He roughly yanks me out of bed,
2. 0:02completely disregarding the fact that
3. 0:03I'm still
4. 0:05He spent all our strength to try to
5. 0:06twist in weed.
6. 0:09>> Let go of her.
7. 0:10>> Gideon stands up for me, but Dorian
8. 0:12instantly gets the wrong idea about him
9. 0:13and me.
10. 0:15>> Ainsley,
11. 0:16got yourself a little boyfriend now?
12. 0:20So this is why you've been pushing me
13. 0:21away. You've been cheating on me. Or are
14. 0:23you just playing hard to get hoping to
15. 0:24catch my attention again?
16. 0:26>> I never expect Dorian to say something
17. 0:27so disgusting about me. I lose it and
18. 0:29slap him.
19. 0:31This has nothing to do with you. Get out
20. 0:33now.
21. 0:34>> So you're on his side now?
22. 0:37Leave, or I'll call security to escort
23. 0:39you out.
24. 0:40>> Fine. Have it your way, Ainsley.
25. 0:42>> Honestly, I have no idea why he's so
26. 0:44angry. After all, he cheated first.
27. 0:47Thank you.
28. 0:48Gideon offers to help, but I turn him
29. 0:49down. I can manage on my own. As On my
30. 0:52birthday, I discover everything.
31. 0:55>> [music]
32. 0:57>> For those few seconds, I close my eyes
33. 1:00and wish for us to get married and for
34. 1:01our baby to be healthy.
35. 1:05>> [music]
36. 1:06>> Then I see Dorian chatting with someone
37. 1:08else
38. 1:09wearing a sweet smile I haven't seen in
39. 1:11a long time.
40. 1:15>> [music]
41. 1:18>> I never imagined Dorian would ever share
42. 1:20my private photos with another person.
43. 1:22>> She's awful in bed. She can't take my
44. 1:25size at all. God, I wish it were you
45. 1:27lying next to me.
46. 1:29>> I stare at their messages,
47. 1:31>> [snorts]
48. 1:31>> unable to believe that they've already
49. 1:32been seeing each other for 6 months.
50. 1:36Dorian snatches the phone from my hand
51. 1:38and quickly puts it away, looking
52. 1:40nervous as though he's afraid I've
53. 1:42discovered something I shouldn't have.
54. 1:44>> Who said you could touch my phone?
55. 1:46>> We didn't used to keep secrets from each
56. 1:48other. He promises he'll never hide
57. 1:50anything from me.
58. 1:53>> [music]
59. 1:55>> He apologizes, then gives me a ring for
60. 1:57my birthday as if that's supposed to
61. 1:59prove he loves me.
62. 2:03Yet, every time I beg him to come out
63. 2:05with our relationship, he turns me down.
64. 2:07I ask him again and again, year after
65. 2:09year.
66. 2:10And even when I say I'm carrying his
67. 2:12child, he just won't believe me.
68. 2:13>> What are you on about, darling? We've
69. 2:15been using protection, haven't we? Don't
70. 2:17freak me out.
71. 2:18>> Yet,
72. 2:19he had once told me how much he wanted
73. 2:21us to have a child together.
74. 2:23Apparently, I'm the only one who
75. 2:25remembers what we once promised each
76. 2:27other.
77. 2:29But what I can't accept is that Dorian
78. 2:32handed Camille the very project I've
79. 2:34devoted months of overtime to.
80. 2:44>> Poor you, Ainslie.
81. 2:46All I have to do is sweet-talk Dorian,
82. 2:48and your project is mine. You're invited
83. 2:50to my celebration tonight, by the way.
84. 2:52As soon as I hear it, a terrible ache
85. 2:54grips my stomach, as though even my baby
86. 2:56knows this is wrong.
87. 2:59>> You're pregnant?
88. 3:00>> [snorts]
89. 3:00>> That's not your concern.
90. 3:03Angry and wounded, I cast aside every
91. 3:06ounce of courtesy and storm into
92. 3:07Dorian's office.
93. 3:12I confront Dorian about what he did, but
94. 3:14he brushes off my anger and once again
95. 3:16takes Camille's side.
96. 3:19>> She's new here.
97. 3:20You have plenty of other contracts to
98. 3:22work on.
99. 3:23Just let this one go, darling.
100. 3:25Don't make a big [music] deal out of it.
101. 3:27>> He's always saying that I should be the
102. 3:28bigger person, but it hurts too much.
103. 3:30I'm his girlfriend. Night celebration,
104. 3:32giving me a small glimmer of hope. For
105. 3:34the sake of our baby, I decide to trust
106. 3:36him one last time.
107. 3:38That night, I dress up for the
108. 3:40celebration, convinced that Dorian is
109. 3:42finally going to make our relationship
110. 3:44public.
111. 3:48But then I see him
112. 3:55I freeze on the spot.
113. 3:57He has clearly forgotten the promise he
114. 3:59made to me 3 years ago.
115. 4:02>> Ainslie, we're not allowed to date
116. 4:03within the company. I'm sorry, but I
117. 4:05swear I want to make our relationship
118. 4:07public, too.
119. 4:10>> Really?
120. 4:11You really feel that way?
121. 4:13>> Of course.
122. 4:14I know how much you've done for me.
123. 4:16I couldn't have become a manager without
124. 4:17you.
125. 4:21I mean it, Ainsley.
126. 4:23I love you.
127. 4:24Public or not, that will never change.
128. 4:26>> I'm such a fool.
129. 4:28If I hadn't believed him then, I
130. 4:30wouldn't be hurting like this now.
131. 4:33>> Wait, are you two dating?
132. 4:37>> [snorts]
133. 4:39>> It hits me right then.
134. 4:41He doesn't mind the world knowing he's
135. 4:42with someone.
136. 4:44He just minds the world knowing that
137. 4:45it's me.
138. 4:50Dorian sees me, but he doesn't chase
139. 4:52after me.
140. 4:56I head outside to get some air.
141. 4:58Camille comes up to me, gloats about how
142. 5:00Dorian adores her, and says he sleeps at
143. 5:03her place multiple nights a week.
144. 5:06You need him to keep your job, don't
145. 5:07you?
146. 5:08What makes you think you have the right
147. 5:09to stand beside him?
148. 5:11And that baby you're carrying,
149. 5:14it won't be enough to make him stay. I
150. 5:15never imagined Camille would go after my
151. 5:16baby.
152. 5:18Well, I can't swim at all, yet the only
153. 5:19thing on my mind is my baby.
154. 5:22My baby!
155. 5:23Dorian rushes over, and I call to him
156. 5:25using every bit of energy I have left.
157. 5:27Dorian, help me!
158. 5:30Dorian, help me!
159. 5:32>> [music]
160. 5:34>> I'm convinced that Dorian will save my
161. 5:35baby and me.
162. 5:39But he doesn't.
163. 5:43He clearly sees me, yet he still chooses
164. 5:45Camille.
165. 5:48Camille looks down at me like she's won
166. 5:49it all,
167. 5:50and I'm too drained to even say a single
168. 5:52word, let alone fight back.
169. 5:57The water closes over me,
170. 5:59and I realize that I don't love Dorian
171. 6:01anymore.
172. 6:06But I never expect someone to come and
173. 6:08save me.
174. 6:23>> [music]
175. 6:24>> The first thing I do when I wake up is
176. 6:26ask about my baby.
177. 6:28>> [music]
178. 6:32>> But I can no longer feel them.
179. 6:40>> My baby.
180. 6:44>> I can't bear losing my baby.
181. 6:59The man who pulls me out tells me that I
182. 7:00had been under too long.
183. 7:03The baby doesn't make it.
184. 7:06>> What is your name?
185. 7:07>> I'm incredibly grateful to him, but when
186. 7:09I ask for his name, he seems briefly
187. 7:12hurt. Then, he pulls himself together.
188. 7:15>> I'm Gideon. Gideon Donovan, and I'm the
189. 7:18president of GD.
190. 7:19>> He then invites me to work for his
191. 7:20company.
192. 7:22>> Miss Sinclair, I've reviewed your
193. 7:24portfolio. You're far too talented for
194. 7:26where you are now. Anyone who truly
195. 7:28respects you would never leave you
196. 7:29there.
197. 7:29>> grateful to him. His company is
198. 7:31overseas. It's my ticket out of this
199. 7:33city and all the pain it holds. Mr.
200. 7:35Donovan, I'm in. I'll go with you.
201. 7:38>> [snorts]
202. 7:38>> I say yes almost immediately.
203. 7:42Then, Dorian storms in.
204. 7:44He must have overheard our conversation
205. 7:47as he looks panicked.
206. 7:49>> Ainsley, where are you going?
207. 7:53You're the reason Camille fell into the
208. 7:55pool.
209. 7:56You're staying right here.
210. 7:58Now, get up and apologize to her.
211. 8:01>> Dorian's panic catches me by surprise.
212. 8:05Then, just as I'm about to calm things
213. 8:07down,
214. 8:08his face twists with anger.
215. 8:10So, that's why he's here.
216. 8:12It's all for Camille.
217. 8:14He roughly yanks me out of bed,
218. 8:16completely disregarding the fact that
219. 8:17I'm still
220. 8:19He's been all our strength to try to
221. 8:20twist in weed.
222. 8:23>> Let go of her.
223. 8:24>> Gideon stands up for me, but Dorian
224. 8:26instantly gets the wrong idea about him
225. 8:27and me.
226. 8:29>> Ainsley,
227. 8:30got yourself a little boyfriend now?
228. 8:34So, this is why you've been pushing me
229. 8:35away. You've been cheating on me. Or are
230. 8:37you just playing hard to get hoping to
231. 8:38catch my attention again?
232. 8:40>> I never expect Dorian to say something
233. 8:41so disgusting about me. I lose it and
234. 8:43slap him.
235. 8:45This has nothing to do with you. Get out
236. 8:47now.
237. 8:48>> So, you're on his side now?
238. 8:51Leave, or I'll call security to escort
239. 8:53you out.
240. 8:54>> Fine. Have it your way, Ainsley.
241. 8:56>> Honestly, I have no idea why he's so
242. 8:58angry. After all, he cheated first.
243. 9:01Thank you.
244. 9:02Gideon offers to help, but I turn him
245. 9:03down. I can manage on my own. As soon as
246. 9:06I'm out of the hospital, I submit my
247. 9:08resignation.
248. 9:09My supervisor just sighs when she finds
249. 9:11out.
250. 9:15Well, perhaps it's better this way.
251. 9:17After all, everyone knows how capable
252. 9:18you've always been. I get her point.
253. 9:21I had given Dorian years of my work
254. 9:23without demanding recognition or status,
255. 9:26and now I see how stupid that was.
256. 9:28Still, I have to get Dorian to sign the
257. 9:30papers.
258. 9:32But as I enter the office with my
259. 9:33resignation letter,
260. 9:35I find Camille lying weakly in Dorian's
261. 9:37arms. I freeze.
262. 9:40>> Oh, Ainsley,
263. 9:42I just tripped and fell onto Dorian.
264. 9:43Don't get the wrong idea.
265. 9:53>> It's almost funny.
266. 9:55There's lipstick on his collar, yet she
267. 9:57insists there's nothing between them.
268. 9:58But when I open my mouth, all that comes
269. 10:00out is They're both bracing for me to
270. 10:02explode. Instead, I stay perfectly calm.
271. 10:05I trust you. The words they were about
272. 10:07to yell at me get stuck in their mouths.
273. 10:09And when Dorian sees me unfazed, it only
274. 10:11makes him angrier.
275. 10:13>> Camille is only here to ask me about the
276. 10:14project. Can you stop being so
277. 10:16suspicious all the time? These little
278. 10:18games you play every day are getting
279. 10:19really boring.
280. 10:22>> I say nothing. I simply hand Dorian my
281. 10:25resignation letter.
282. 10:26Sign them.
283. 10:33I'm still worried about what Dorian will
284. 10:35say when he sees my resignation letter.
285. 10:37But he doesn't even look at the
286. 10:38documents. He simply signs them.
287. 10:51I have everything in order.
288. 10:53I take every single thing Dorian has
289. 10:55ever given me and drop it off at the
290. 10:57pawn shop.
291. 11:00But there's still one last thing I need
292. 11:02to give Dorian.
293. 11:04Inside, I place the official records of
294. 11:07my miscarriage.
295. 11:09Dorian deserves to know that the child
296. 11:10he once longed for is gone, and it's his
297. 11:13fault.
298. 11:18Goodbye, Dorian.
299. 11:30I'm surprised when I see Gideon.
300. 11:32He looks genuinely happy.
301. 11:36>> [sighs and gasps]
302. 11:38>> A new chapter begins today, Mrs.
303. 11:39Sinclair.
304. 11:45>> Thank you, Mr. Donovan.
305. 11:52I think I'll never come back here again.
306. 11:54>> [sighs]
307. 12:01>> Dorian, what's wrong?
308. 12:03>> A sudden piercing pain shoots through my
309. 12:04chest. I've never experienced anything
310. 12:06like it, as though everything is about
311. 12:08to go wrong. I ignore Camille and pull
312. 12:10up my messages with Ainslie. My blood
313. 12:12runs cold. We haven't talked in a long
314. 12:13time. For some reason, that makes me
315. 12:15feel uneasy. Ainsley has never gone more
316. 12:17than 2 days without messaging me. I
317. 12:19immediately call Ainsley, but she
318. 12:21doesn't answer me. I'm getting nervous.
319. 12:23Then I get a call. I assume it's her and
320. 12:25answer right away. Ainsley?
321. 12:27>> Mr. Prescott, if I may ask, is your
322. 12:30employee Ainsley Sinclair all right?
323. 12:35>> Ainsley?
324. 12:36What happened to her?
325. 12:37>> We saw on the security footage that Ms.
326. 12:39Sinclair fell into the swimming pool. We
327. 12:41hope she's okay.
328. 12:43>> What did you say? Ainsley fell into the
329. 12:45pool?
330. 12:46Why didn't she tell me?
331. 12:55>> Dorian, don't go to her.
332. 12:57She's just trying to reel you back in.
333. 12:59And if you go, she'll think she's won.
334. 13:03>> She's not that kind of person. I've been
335. 13:05with her for 5 years. I know her better
336. 13:06than you do.
337. 13:24This is Ainsley's favorite dessert shop.
338. 13:33One cake, please.
339. 13:36She'll be happy when she sees this.
340. 13:38I've been wavering lately and I haven't
341. 13:40given her much attention, but I can
342. 13:42still make it up to her.
343. 13:44I'll sincerely apologize to her and
344. 13:46tomorrow I'll make our relationship
345. 13:47public.
346. 13:48I've made up my mind. I'm going to marry
347. 13:50Ainsley.
348. 13:58Ainsley,
349. 13:59I'm back.
350. 14:09She isn't here.
351. 14:11The house feels like it's missing so
352. 14:12much.
353. 14:14More accurately, it seems like only her
354. 14:16things are gone.
355. 14:17A sense of dread creeps in and then I
356. 14:19spot an envelope on the table.
357. 14:26A miscarriage report? Ainsley?
358. 14:28She had a miscarriage? Our baby? No.
359. 14:31No.
360. 14:35>> [panting and sighs]
361. 14:36[gasps]
362. 14:39>> Ainsley, PLEASE PICK UP THE PHONE.
363. 14:45>> [panting and sighs]
364. 14:46[gasps]
365. 14:46>> RIGHT, she must be working late.
366. 14:51I rush to the company as quickly as I
367. 14:53can only to find that everything on
368. 14:55Ainsley's desk is gone.
369. 15:03WHERE IS AINSLEY?
370. 15:05I ASK EVERYONE AROUND ME WHERE Ainsley
371. 15:07has gone, but they all keep their heads
372. 15:09down, afraid to meet my eyes.
373. 15:11Finally, Ainsley's former supervisor
374. 15:13stands up.
375. 15:14>> Mr. Prescott,
376. 15:16Ainsley has resigned.
377. 15:19>> Resigned?
378. 15:20When?
379. 15:21>> She left yesterday.
380. 15:23You personally signed her resignation
381. 15:25letter.
382. 15:30>> What?
383. 15:41The papers I signed yesterday?
384. 15:43That was her resignation letter? NO. NO
385. 15:45WAY. YOU'RE ALL LYING TO ME.
386. 15:51THERE'S NO WAY AINSLEY WOULD LEAVE ME.
387. 16:02I SLIP INTO A dream
388. 16:05reliving every joyful moment I ever
389. 16:06shared with Ainsley.
390. 16:11I couldn't close the deal with that
391. 16:12client.
392. 16:14Ainsley's always is to comfort me.
393. 16:17Without her, I never would have been
394. 16:18able to keep going back then.
395. 16:20>> Ainsley,
396. 16:22I'll give you everything you deserve.
397. 16:28>> When my career starts to show promise, I
398. 16:30ask Ainsley to marry me.
399. 16:32Ainsley,
400. 16:34will you marry me?
401. 16:36>> [laughter]
402. 16:41>> We were so happy back then,
403. 16:43but eventually, everything changes.
404. 16:47I start to stay out later each night.
405. 16:48>> Dorian, don't come home so late next
406. 16:50time. I'll worry about you.
407. 16:51>> What do you know? You're not the one who
408. 16:53has to work hard outside and negotiate
409. 16:55deals.
410. 16:55>> And I treat Ainsley worse with each
411. 16:57passing day.
412. 16:57>> Dorian, it's been 3 years. When are you
413. 16:59going to make our relationship public?
414. 17:01>> Soon. Stop rushing me.
415. 17:03>> She constantly begs me to tell the world
416. 17:05about us, but I'm too focused on my
417. 17:07rising career.
418. 17:08I keep delaying it, and before I know
419. 17:10it, she's gone.
420. 17:14I end up losing the one woman who truly
421. 17:15loves me.
422. 17:17>> I'm sorry,
423. 17:18Ainsley.
424. 17:19>> [laughter]
425. 17:23>> Dorian, are you okay?
426. 17:26>> I stare at this woman,
427. 17:28unable to believe that I hurt Ainsley
428. 17:30again and again because of her.
429. 17:33You're fired.
430. 17:35I have to find Ainsley and beg her to
431. 17:36forgive me for everything.
432. 17:38>> No, I love you. You can't do this to me.
433. 17:42>> Get out of here.
434. 17:43>> [gasps]
435. 17:44>> No matter the time or place, I will only
436. 17:47ever have one wife, and that's Ainsley.
437. 17:50>> Then what am I to you?
438. 17:52If she's the one you really love, why
439. 17:53did you string me along? Why didn't you
440. 17:55make your relationship with her public?
441. 18:01>> I was going to make it public.
442. 18:03>> Stop kidding yourself. You broke her
443. 18:05heart every single day.
444. 18:08She's finally gone,
445. 18:10and you deserve every bit of it.
446. 18:17Mr. Prescott, we have a A issue with the
447. 18:18development project in Eastbrook. Our
448. 18:20partner is withdrawing their funding.
449. 18:22>> What?
450. 18:23Who's in charge of the project?
451. 18:25>> It was Ainsley who handled it initially,
452. 18:27but later they learned that the proposal
453. 18:28had been changed, which resulted in this
454. 18:29mess.
455. 18:30>> I didn't change it. It has nothing to do
456. 18:32with me. I'm not EVEN AN EMPLOYEE OF THE
457. 18:34COMPANY ANYMORE.
458. 18:36>> [gasps]
459. 18:37>> They're strongly insisting that Ainsley
460. 18:39be the one in charge.
461. 18:43>> So, without Ainsley
462. 18:44I'm nothing.
463. 18:46>> Gideon brings me to London and arranges
464. 18:48a place for me to stay.
465. 18:51Thank you, Gideon. Goodbye.
466. 18:57Just as I'm about to walk inside I hear
467. 18:59the sound of keys behind me.
468. 19:04You live across from me?
469. 19:08>> Yes.
470. 19:09The house is also mine.
471. 19:12It's sitting empty anyway.
472. 19:13I'd rather rent it to you.
473. 19:15That way I'll feel more at ease.
474. 19:17No more thank you's, Ainsley. You've
475. 19:18already said plenty. This is worth it to
476. 19:20me. I want you to be my neighbor.
477. 19:21>> Before I can even thank him, Gideon
478. 19:23already knows what I'm about to say and
479. 19:24stops me short.
480. 19:26>> That way if anything happens, I'll be
481. 19:27the first person you think of and I'll
482. 19:29always be here. Good night.
483. 19:40>> What I don't see coming is Dorian being
484. 19:42let go from the company over a business
485. 19:43dispute only to be arrested afterwards.
486. 19:49>> Mr. Prescott, do you have ANYTHING ELSE
487. 19:50TO SAY?
488. 19:58>> I LOVE YOU, AINSLEY.
489. 20:00I won't give up on you.
490. 20:18>> None of it has anything to do with me
491. 20:20anymore.
492. 20:21I've changed my phone number, so Dorian
493. 20:23has no way of finding me.
494. 20:27>> [music]
495. 20:28>> Now, I'm going to start my life over.
496. 20:34Today is the day I officially join GD.
497. 20:43Everyone, this is our department's new
498. 20:44manager, Ainsley Sinclair.
499. 20:47From now on, Ainsley will be taking over
500. 20:48the Hyde Plaza project.
501. 20:53We've bid on Hyde Plaza for three
502. 20:54quarters and been rejected every time.
503. 20:56Are you here because they think we can't
504. 20:57deliver? I know there will be doubts, so
505. 20:59I've already done my homework. I've
506. 21:01reviewed the old plans. The drainage in
507. 21:03version 3.0 doesn't work with the
508. 21:04underground utility tunnel. I've dealt
509. 21:06with this kind of issue before. Give me
510. 21:082 weeks. I'll bring the updated proposal
511. 21:10to the planning department and
512. 21:11renegotiate.
513. 21:13I know they're all whispering about
514. 21:14whether I got here through connections.
515. 21:16Let them. For 5 years, I worked beside
516. 21:18Dorian and let him take all the credit.
517. 21:20This time, I'm working for myself.
518. 21:27I used to stay up late working overtime
519. 21:29to help Dorian finish his projects.
520. 21:32Now, I'm working late for myself.
521. 21:36And somehow,
522. 21:37it feels a hundred times better than I
523. 21:40can ever imagine.
524. 21:42>> [sighs and gasps]
525. 21:48[sighs and gasps]
526. 22:02>> Gideon?
527. 22:06>> Did I wake you?
528. 22:09You're still not leaving?
529. 22:11Want me to give you a ride home?
530. 22:14>> I still have some work to finish.
531. 22:21I catch a flicker of worry in Gideon's
532. 22:23gaze.
533. 22:24I expect him to order me out of the
534. 22:26office,
535. 22:27but instead, he picks up one of my
536. 22:29drawings and looks it over.
537. 22:35>> You've done well, Ainsley.
538. 22:37>> All Dorian ever did was criticize my
539. 22:39proposals, leaving me feeling like I had
540. 22:42no real talent.
541. 22:44He never saw my value.
542. 22:52>> I'll be in my office.
543. 22:54If you need anything, come get me.
544. 23:05>> I arrive at the site to conduct an
545. 23:06inspection.
546. 23:11I'm the new project lead from GD. I need
547. 23:13to go down to the lower level and check
548. 23:15the actual route of the utility tunnel.
549. 23:18>> It's all in the plans. It's nothing but
550. 23:19mud down there.
551. 23:23>> I brought them with me.
552. 23:25The plans are based on data from a year
553. 23:27ago. The main pipeline was replaced last
554. 23:29month, and the deviation is at least 6
555. 23:31in.
556. 23:32I need to go down there.
557. 23:34Darian, you're always telling me I don't
558. 23:36grasp the bigger picture,
559. 23:39but you overlook the fact that the
560. 23:40foundation is what holds everything up.
561. 23:44>> [snorts]
562. 23:57>> I reorganize all the data I've collected
563. 23:59over the past few days and revise the
564. 24:01proposal.
565. 24:13It's done.
566. 24:16Tomorrow is the renegotiation, and my
567. 24:18nerves are getting the better of me.
568. 24:21Gideon gives me an encouraging look.
569. 24:25>> Am I imagining it, or is this a lot
570. 24:27cleaner than last week's draft?
571. 24:28>> I rechecked the north section of the
572. 24:30utility tunnel. The plan is off by 6 in,
573. 24:32but the actual deviation is 8.7 in.
574. 24:35I also pulled the commercial entrance
575. 24:36back 4 ft to avoid the pipeline overlap
576. 24:38zone.
577. 24:39>> That means we'll lose a row of shops.
578. 24:42The commercial revenue will be lower.
579. 24:44>> Yes, removing a row of shops cuts into
580. 24:46short-term profits. But in 10 years, if
581. 24:48the foundation sinks and the walls
582. 24:50split, you won't be missing that one
583. 24:52row. You'll be watching the whole Hyde
584. 24:54Plaza project collapse in value and
585. 24:55credibility.
586. 25:01>> Consider it done. We'll go with your
587. 25:02version.
588. 25:05>> Thank you for believing in me.
589. 25:10The entire office is quiet. Just as I'm
590. 25:12about to tell everyone the good news,
591. 25:18>> Congrats, Ms. Sinclair, on securing the
592. 25:20HYDE PLAZA DEAL.
593. 25:22>> [screaming]
594. 25:28>> IT ISN'T UNTIL THIS MOMENT THAT I
595. 25:29realize how many years I've wasted on
596. 25:31Dorian.
597. 25:33Fortunately, I won't waste another
598. 25:35second. Six months of hard work, and
599. 25:37I've risen from manager to director. Now
600. 25:40I'm stepping into the negotiation room
601. 25:41again. This time, as GD's lead.
602. 25:45But I never expected our partner this
603. 25:46time to be Dorian. Hello.
604. 25:51He's out of prison.
605. 25:53He's lost a noticeable amount of weight
606. 25:55over the past 6 months. The moment he
607. 25:57sees me, his eyes turn red, as if he
608. 25:59can't believe he's actually seeing me
609. 26:01here.
610. 26:03>> Ansley.
611. 26:04>> I had dreamed of all the ways we could
612. 26:06cross paths again, and yet the world is
613. 26:08so small. Just when I climb to the top,
614. 26:11I run straight into the person I had
615. 26:12once tried so hard to escape. He stands
616. 26:14and reaches out, but my instincts kick
617. 26:16in faster than my mind. I take two steps
618. 26:18back, and when he sees that, he freezes.
619. 26:20He doesn't come any closer.
620. 26:22>> I'm sorry, Ansley.
621. 26:25I've missed you so much these past 6
622. 26:26months.
623. 26:27>> He's the one who hurt me, yet somehow
624. 26:29he's the one who looks wounded now.
625. 26:31Mr. Prescott, let's keep personal
626. 26:33matters out of work. I steady myself and
627. 26:35listen as his assistant goes over the
628. 26:37details of the partnership with me.
629. 26:39Meanwhile, Dorian keeps staring at me as
630. 26:42if he's afraid I'll disappear the moment
631. 26:43he looks away. It makes me deeply
632. 26:45uncomfortable.
633. 26:48Mr. Prescott, could you please stop
634. 26:49staring at me?
635. 26:51I'm sorry, but I need to reevaluate this
636. 26:52partnership proposal.
637. 26:58I pick up the documents, turn around,
638. 27:00and walk away.
639. 27:02I can feel his gaze following me all the
640. 27:03way out.
641. 27:08I never expected to see Dorian waiting
642. 27:10downstairs when I got home.
643. 27:22>> Ainsley?
644. 27:26>> [sighs and gasps]
645. 27:27>> How did you find out where I live?
646. 27:30>> I asked the front desk at GD.
647. 27:31>> He looks incredibly cautious, as if he's
648. 27:33afraid of saying the wrong thing.
649. 27:35>> I've been out for 6 months.
650. 27:37I've started my own company.
651. 27:39Ainsley, I'm not the same person I used
652. 27:41to be.
653. 27:43Can you give me a chance to pursue you
654. 27:44again?
655. 27:45>> It's absurd. After everything that has
656. 27:47happened, he still believes there's a
657. 27:49chance for us to get back together.
658. 27:52>> I'm sorry.
659. 27:54I didn't know you were the one who fell
660. 27:55into the pool.
661. 27:57Nothing happened between Camille and me.
662. 27:59I was planning to make our relationship
663. 28:00public.
664. 28:02>> Are you done?
665. 28:04Do you think saying all that can bring
666. 28:05my baby back?
667. 28:07Those words leave Dorian frozen. It's
668. 28:09the one truth he least wants to face.
669. 28:13>> I'm sorry, Ainsley.
670. 28:14You can do whatever you want to me. Hit
671. 28:16me, scream at me, anything.
672. 28:19Just please give me one more chance.
673. 28:21>> It's too late, Dorian.
674. 28:23I don't love you anymore.
675. 28:28>> [gasps]
676. 28:28[sighs]
677. 28:30>> No, Ainsley.
678. 28:32That's not true. We can start over.
679. 28:34>> Just I'm about to call for help, it's
680. 28:36Gideon.
681. 28:37He pulls me away from Dorian's grip.
682. 28:40Dorian falls silent and stares blankly
683. 28:42at Gideon's arm around me.
684. 28:48>> Who are you?
685. 28:49>> Before I can get a single word out,
686. 28:51Gideon answers on my behalf.
687. 28:54>> I'm her boyfriend.
688. 28:56>> I never expect Gideon to use that excuse
689. 28:58to brush Dorian off.
690. 29:02>> It's you.
691. 29:04The man from the hospital room.
692. 29:06Thank you for saving her back then.
693. 29:08>> Dorian looks ashamed,
694. 29:10but Gideon has nothing but contempt for
695. 29:11his words.
696. 29:13>> Why are you acting so devoted now?
697. 29:15>> [music]
698. 29:15>> If you really loved her, where were you
699. 29:17when she was drowning?
700. 29:19Where were you when she woke up in that
701. 29:20hospital bed alone and learned that she
702. 29:21lost her baby?
703. 29:24She doesn't need you anymore.
704. 29:25Stay away from my girlfriend.
705. 29:29>> [snorts]
706. 29:29>> I'm sorry, Ansley. I'm sorry.
707. 29:31>> At this point, sorry is all he has.
708. 29:34Gideon puts his arm around me and leads
709. 29:36me into the apartment while Dorian
710. 29:38remains standing there alone.
711. 29:40As soon as we're at the door, Gideon
712. 29:42releases me.
713. 29:43>> I'm sorry, Ansley.
714. 29:45I just wanted to get him to leave as
715. 29:46quickly as possible.
716. 29:47>> He says he's sorry, but something about
717. 29:48his expression tells me that he's not
718. 29:50all that sorry. He almost seems pleased.
719. 29:52It's fine. Thank you for helping me get
720. 29:53rid of that nuisance.
721. 29:57>> Ansley,
722. 29:58I actually
723. 30:02Never mind. Get some rest.
724. 30:16>> Dorian's still there, looking like he's
725. 30:18hoping I'll throw him a shred of love,
726. 30:21but all I feel is pure annoyance.
727. 30:30Dorian comes again the next day as if
728. 30:32yesterday never happened.
729. 30:36He carries himself well, looking every
730. 30:38bit the successful man.
731. 30:41A couple of co-workers who just got off
732. 30:43shift can't help but glance over,
733. 30:45clearly curious about our history.
734. 30:50Why are you here again?
735. 30:54>> Used to love the tiramisu from this
736. 30:55place.
737. 30:56I waited in line for 40 minutes.
738. 30:58>> He's trying to win me over with it, but
739. 31:00people change and so do their tastes.
740. 31:13>> Can I give you a ride home?
741. 31:16>> Dorian,
742. 31:17have some shame.
743. 31:21Without even looking at his expression,
744. 31:23I turn and leave.
745. 31:25All the shareholders are very satisfied
746. 31:26with Dorian's proposal.
747. 31:33>> I'll reject them right now.
748. 31:38>> No need.
749. 31:43Gideon, you can trust me.
750. 31:45I won't let my personal affairs affect
751. 31:47my work.
752. 31:49I spent 6 months earning my way to this
753. 31:51position.
754. 31:52I'm not here to hide from anyone.
755. 31:55>> Okay.
756. 31:57Then we'll face it head on.
757. 32:00But if you're ever uncomfortable, just
758. 32:01say the word.
759. 32:03I'll tear up the contract myself if I
760. 32:04have to.
761. 32:07>> You don't have to tear it all apart. I
762. 32:09have a better way.
763. 32:16Do you think you could play the part of
764. 32:17my boyfriend for a bit?
765. 32:24Gideon doesn't look upset at all. If
766. 32:26anything, it seems like he's been
767. 32:27waiting a long time to hear those words.
768. 32:29>> Okay.
769. 32:30>> Then I'll be counting on you tonight.
770. 32:38At the dinner with our business
771. 32:39partners, Dorian keeps glancing my way
772. 32:41from the moment he sits down. But
773. 32:43tonight, I'm not giving him an opening.
774. 32:46>> [music]
775. 32:48>> The contract signing went smoothly,
776. 32:50thanks to everyone's efforts.
777. 32:52And I want to give extra thanks to my
778. 32:53girlfriend Ainslie.
779. 32:54>> Gideon openly announces our relationship
780. 32:56in front of everyone. He doesn't hold
781. 32:58back at all, and for a moment, I can't
782. 33:00tell whether he's just acting or if he
783. 33:02really means it.
784. 33:04Dorian stares blindly into space as he
785. 33:06watches Gideon and me act so close.
786. 33:09I can tell he's doing everything he can
787. 33:11to keep his emotions under control.
788. 33:14>> Take that away. She's allergic to it.
789. 33:17>> Dorian remembers that I'm allergic to
790. 33:18lobster. For a moment, everyone looks
791. 33:20between the three of us. I know exactly
792. 33:22what they're thinking, so I have to do
793. 33:24something.
794. 33:25It's fine. My boyfriend can pick the
795. 33:27lobster out for me, right?
796. 33:30I kiss Gideon, and I make sure Dorian is
797. 33:33watching when I do.
798. 33:36>> Absolutely. I'll take care of it for
799. 33:37you.
800. 33:38>> Everyone at the table laughs at how in
801. 33:40sync Gideon and I are. Everyone that is,
802. 33:42except Dorian. He just stares at his
803. 33:44plate, and I notice his hands are
804. 33:46shaking.
805. 33:49>> How long have you and Mr. Donovan been
806. 33:50together, Ms. Sinclair?
807. 33:52When are you getting married?
808. 33:54>> I'm more than happy just having her as
809. 33:55my girlfriend. There's no rush to get
810. 33:57married. It's up to her.
811. 33:59>> Then the conversation shifts to Dorian.
812. 34:01>> And you, Mr. Prescott,
813. 34:03with everything you have going for you,
814. 34:06why are you still single?
815. 34:07>> I do have someone in mind. It's just
816. 34:09that
817. 34:10she's no longer interested in me.
818. 34:13>> Wow, there's actually someone who turned
819. 34:14you down, Mr. Prescott. She must be hard
820. 34:15to impress.
821. 34:16>> Dorian doesn't say another word. He
822. 34:17knows the truth better than anyone.
823. 34:18>> I used to know a man whose wife stood by
824. 34:19his side while he cheated on her and
825. 34:20left her. Men like that are just
826. 34:21scumbags.
827. 34:22>> He doesn't realize the man he's talking
828. 34:23about is sitting across from him right
829. 34:24now. Dorian can't handle the tension
830. 34:26anymore, so he gets to his feet.
831. 34:28>> I'm going to the restroom. Please,
832. 34:29everyone enjoy the rest of your meal.
833. 34:30>> Dorian hurries out of room and very
834. 34:31happy tonight. Eventually, everyone else
835. 34:33drinks too much, and no one pays Dorian
836. 34:35any more attention. As the dinner wraps
837. 34:36up, I wait by the curb for Gideon,
838. 34:39but I see Dorian, who is supposed to
839. 34:41have left a long time ago.
840. 34:47He looks like he's had way too much to
841. 34:48drink. He doesn't notice me. I watch him
842. 34:51take out an old photo of the two of us.
843. 34:57He stares at it for a long time, clearly
844. 34:59lost in memories of the way we used to
845. 35:01be.
846. 35:03>> Ainsley,
847. 35:04what do I have to do for you to love me
848. 35:06again?
849. 35:07>> His shadow stretches long under the
850. 35:08street light. Never again, I think to
851. 35:11myself.
852. 35:29Gideon is away on a business trip.
853. 35:31After what happened last time, Dorian
854. 35:34doesn't dare show up in front of me
855. 35:35again.
856. 35:37I need to retrieve an old file, so I log
857. 35:39into an account I haven't used in years.
858. 35:42To my surprise, I find countless unread
859. 35:44messages.
860. 35:48They're all from Dorian.
861. 35:53I'm shocked. Dorian has texted me
862. 35:55thousands of times over the year talking
863. 35:56as if the breakup never happened.
864. 35:57>> It's thundering today, Ainsley. I really
865. 35:59wish I were there with you, so you
866. 36:01wouldn't be scared.
867. 36:02I bought you jasmine flowers. I know
868. 36:04you'll love them.
869. 36:06I visited cursed pond today. I put a
870. 36:08spell on you, so you'll think of me
871. 36:10every single night.
872. 36:11>> These are all things I used to say to
873. 36:13him. Now, our roles are reversed, and
874. 36:15the final message is from just an hour
875. 36:17ago.
876. 36:18>> I think I really have lost you.
877. 36:21>> I stop right there. After work,
878. 36:26I deactivate the account.
879. 36:29I don't ever want to see another message
880. 36:30from him.
881. 36:37>> Hey, sweetheart.
882. 36:40Are you alone?
883. 36:41Want us to walk you home?
884. 36:43>> No, thanks.
885. 36:44They're closing in on me.
886. 36:46>> Don't leave so soon. Join us for a quick
887. 36:48chat.
888. 36:50>> I have nowhere left to go.
889. 36:52Just as I'm about to grab my bag and
890. 36:54fight back, someone comes to my rescue.
891. 37:08It's Dorian.
892. 37:13>> Ansley, run!
893. 37:22>> Gideon!
894. 37:27I pull out my phone and call the police.
895. 37:30One by one, the thugs are backing off,
896. 37:32but we miss one, and I don't realize the
897. 37:34danger creeping up behind me.
898. 37:37>> [music]
899. 37:38>> GO TO HELL!
900. 37:40>> BY the time I realize what's happening,
901. 37:42it's already too late.
902. 37:44All I can do is stare as the baseball
903. 37:45bat comes down.
904. 37:47Thwack.
905. 37:49Gideon!
906. 37:52His [laughter] face is covered in blood.
907. 37:53I've never been this terrified.
908. 37:56Look at me. Don't close your eyes. I'm
909. 37:58calling an ambulance.
910. 38:00Dorian is standing behind me.
911. 38:03He's hurt, too, but I can't spare a
912. 38:04thought for him.
913. 38:09>> I'm fine.
914. 38:12You
915. 38:14Ansley?
916. 38:16Are you hurt?
917. 38:18>> I say nothing.
918. 38:21Behind me, I hear a cold, bitter laugh.
919. 38:29>> As long as you're safe.
920. 38:52>> And then he was gone.
921. 38:54Just like that. I wait outside until the
922. 38:57surgery is over. Dorian walks over to
923. 38:59me.
924. 39:14>> You really care about him?
925. 39:15>> Of course I do. Who else am I supposed
926. 39:17to care about you, Dorian? Can you
927. 39:18please leave?
928. 39:31>> [snorts]
929. 39:31>> I'm not going anywhere.
930. 39:33Ainsley, I know you don't want me back.
931. 39:34I'm not asking for that. I'll stay out
932. 39:36of your way. I won't even touch you.
933. 39:38Just don't make me leave.
934. 39:42>> I can't believe this is what he's come
935. 39:44to.
936. 39:45Just when I have no idea what to do,
937. 39:48the surgery ends.
938. 40:01>> The surgery was successful.
939. 40:02If everything goes well, he should wake
940. 40:03up tomorrow.
941. 40:06>> [sighs]
942. 40:07>> I finally feel myself relax.
943. 40:10If anything happens to Gideon, I'll
944. 40:12never forgive myself for the rest of my
945. 40:14life.
946. 40:16As I look at Gideon, I still feel
947. 40:18incredibly guilty.
948. 40:26>> [music]
949. 40:33>> Have you been crying?
950. 40:35>> I was really scared for you. If you ever
951. 40:38do that again, I
952. 40:38>> It was worth it.
953. 40:40>> What?
954. 40:41I'm stern. Gideon looks genuinely happy,
955. 40:44almost as if he's been waiting for this
956. 40:46moment for a long time.
957. 40:47>> You saved me when we were kids.
958. 40:49>> [music]
959. 40:51>> Me?
960. 40:54I saved you?
961. 40:57>> You don't remember, do you?
962. 41:06When I was a kid, I fell into a lake in
963. 41:08winter.
964. 41:09A young girl found me and tried to pull
965. 41:11me out. She grabbed me with all her
966. 41:13strength and didn't let I've been
967. 41:14looking for you for a long time.
968. 41:17And now I'm just grateful that fate led
969. 41:18you right to me.
970. 41:20Why didn't you tell me sooner?
971. 41:29>> [music]
972. 41:33>> Gideon,
973. 41:34I like you.
974. 41:36Will you be my girlfriend?
975. 41:37>> [music]
976. 41:38>> His gaze is so gentle.
977. 41:40My heart is thundering in my chest,
978. 41:42and I just can't bring myself to turn
979. 41:44him down.
980. 41:48I will.
981. 41:50Dorian is at the door, staring at us.
982. 41:53>> [snorts]
983. 41:54>> There's a loneliness in his expression
984. 41:56that I've never seen before.
985. 41:58I don't see Dorian again for a long time
986. 42:00after that day.
987. 42:02Then one night, when I return home, I
988. 42:04find a cardboard box waiting by my door.
989. 42:07Inside are several stock transfer
990. 42:09agreements.
991. 42:11Then Dorian appears.
992. 42:13He looks like he's lost even more
993. 42:15weight.
994. 42:16When he sees the guarded look in my
995. 42:17eyes, he doesn't come any closer.
996. 42:21>> Here are half of my company's shares.
997. 42:24They're for you
998. 42:26and our baby.
999. 42:29I'm sorry for everything I put you
1000. 42:30through over the past 5 years.
1001. 42:32>> I say nothing. I simply look at him
1002. 42:34calmly.
1003. 42:36>> [snorts]
1004. 42:36>> I've seen the way you smile at Gideon.
1005. 42:38It's different.
1006. 42:40You genuinely love him.
1007. 42:42So I'm stepping away.
1008. 42:43>> He looks at me with a pleading
1009. 42:44expression.
1010. 42:47>> Can I have one last hug before we go our
1011. 42:48separate ways?
1012. 42:50>> I say nothing. I just open the door walk
1013. 42:53in. I don't want to say another word to
1014. 42:54him. Dorian stands there as I shut the
1015. 42:56door.
1016. 42:57We both realize that this is the final
1017. 42:59time our eyes will meet.
1018. 43:03Today is the day I marry Gideon.
1019. 43:11>> [music]
1020. 43:19[music]
1021. 43:24[music]
1022. 43:29>> And I'm pregnant again.
1023. 43:40Gideon's eyes are on me as I walk toward
1024. 43:42him.
1025. 43:44I know without a doubt that if this
1026. 43:46weren't our wedding day, he'd already be
1027. 43:48holding me and crying.
1028. 43:51Gideon has longed for this day for so
1029. 43:54long.
1030. 43:55And with him,
1031. 43:57every day is filled with happiness.
1032. 44:01>> [singing]
1033. 44:06>> I glance around at all the smiling,
1034. 44:08joyful faces,
1035. 44:10and then I see someone familiar in the
1036. 44:11distance.
1037. 44:21>> [cough]
1038. 44:23[snorts]
1039. 44:25>> I don't have the time or energy to
1040. 44:27wonder who it is because the ceremony is
1041. 44:29moving on to the next part.
1042. 44:32>> [music]
1043. 44:32>> Ainsley,
1044. 44:34I love you.
1045. 44:39>> I love you, too.
1046. 44:41>> [music]
1047. 44:50[music]
1048. 44:59>> Oh.
