00:00:00What are your conditions marry me the doctor said I have to decide today
00:00:04But I've gone through my entire contacts, and I can't borrow a dime to save my mom
00:00:10Am I really out of options
00:00:19The surgery can be arranged right now
00:00:23What are your conditions marry me
00:00:27You've got the wrong person
00:00:30No
00:00:31You need the money, and I need a wife
00:00:36You have no other choice
00:00:40For how long?
00:00:45One year
00:00:48You will regret this time limit
00:00:51I thought it was just a deal back then
00:00:53I didn't know I was signing away
00:00:55A life I could no longer control
00:01:01The third rule is void
00:01:08Go in
00:01:10I'm not here to put on an act
00:01:12It started the moment you signed
00:01:17Good evening, Mrs. Blake
00:01:24Those words felt more real and piercing than the cold contract itself
00:01:30Rules
00:01:31First, act like a real married couple
00:01:35Second, no questions about the past
00:01:38Third, never step out of my control
00:01:42The third rule
00:01:43The third rule is void
00:01:44The third rule is void
00:01:45You signed up for my rules
00:01:47I signed a marriage certificate, not a bill of sale
00:01:54He wasn't just controlling me
00:01:56He wasn't just controlling me
00:01:57He was making them or seeing her prastity
00:01:59Try breaking that
00:02:00He was making me willingly step into his cage
00:02:06I knew it was all an act
00:02:08But coming from him
00:02:09Those words sounded way too real
00:02:15Where did Ethan tie the knot?
00:02:20I clearly didn't belong here
00:02:23Those stairs were suffocating
00:02:32No warnings
00:02:33No questions
00:02:36But in that moment
00:02:37I didn't push him away
00:02:46My wife
00:02:49I knew it was all an act
00:02:51But coming from him
00:02:52Those words sounded way too real
00:02:55Suddenly, I refused to be looked down on by anyone
00:03:07You're late
00:03:08I suddenly realized I wasn't being dragged here
00:03:12I was...
00:03:14Stepping into his world
00:03:19What exactly do you want?
00:03:21You
00:03:22Three days here, and zero sense of belonging
00:03:25Is this really...
00:03:27My life now?
00:03:34Can't sleep?
00:03:36Still getting used to it
00:03:42What exactly do you want?
00:03:45You
00:03:49Lena
00:03:50I wanted to fight back
00:03:51But no words came out
00:03:53Because I knew he was dead serious
00:03:57Don't make me take this seriously
00:04:00Suddenly, it hit me
00:04:03The real danger wasn't him
00:04:05It was me
00:04:07Goodnight
00:04:11I thought I won
00:04:12But I knew the truth
00:04:15I didn't step back
00:04:17Because I wasn't afraid
00:04:18But because...
00:04:19I didn't want to
00:04:23In that split second
00:04:24I didn't pull away
00:04:25I didn't really want him to let go
00:04:29I still haven't adapted to the pace here
00:04:31Let alone...
00:04:32This man's constant overbearing presence
00:04:34I don't want you to come up on my hands
00:04:34...
00:04:45Look at all my feelings...
00:04:47How's she living?
00:04:48What could you do?
00:04:50What could you do?
00:04:54What could you do?
00:04:59Look at all your thoughts
00:05:00That I didn't want you to leave
00:05:03I didn't really want him to let go.
00:05:05I can stand on my own!
00:05:08I pushed him away, not because I hated it,
00:05:11but because I almost didn't want to push him away at all.
00:05:18But because I was actually getting used to him.
00:05:22It was too quiet here.
00:05:23I had to find something to do, just to ignore the uneasiness in my chest.
00:05:42Like this.
00:05:45I stared at the pan, but saw absolutely nothing.
00:05:49All my attention was on him, on how close he was.
00:05:52His hand wasn't letting go.
00:05:54And the worst part...
00:05:56I wasn't fighting it at all.
00:05:59My breathing steadied.
00:06:02Not out of tension, but because...
00:06:05I was actually getting used to him.
00:06:08That's it.
00:06:09I suddenly realized the danger wasn't him.
00:06:11It was me getting used to him.
00:06:13I didn't move, not because he told me not to,
00:06:16but because...
00:06:17I didn't want to.
00:06:21Why do you keep staring at me?
00:06:24Confirming.
00:06:43Confirming.
00:06:46Confirming what?
00:06:49If you're going to run away.
00:06:52You overestimate me.
00:06:56Confirming.
00:07:03I don't like uncertainty.
00:07:13Then don't look!
00:07:19but in that split second i knew every boundary was crumbling
00:07:27i just got out of the shower when i frozen ethan was in my room
00:07:36this is my room the atmosphere shifted i just wanted to get past him to keep my distance
00:08:02air was utterly still i didn't step back he didn't move but in that split second
00:08:08i knew every boundary was crumbling one more step and everything completely shatters
00:08:15but i realized i didn't actually want to stop it at all
00:08:23i didn't answer but in that moment i suddenly realized he cares
00:08:28the dining room was still quiet but this quiet felt different from the past few days
00:08:37i could feel it ethan's gaze was still on me
00:08:46what exactly are you looking at you
00:08:51what's so interesting about me
00:08:55seeing when you'll leave
00:09:01afraid i'll run
00:09:02not afraid i just dislike uncertainty
00:09:07i didn't answer
00:09:09but in that moment i suddenly realized
00:09:11he cares
00:09:14that thought unsettled me and it made me waver
00:09:18that night i couldn't sleep
00:09:23i thought i was just trapped here
00:09:25but now i'm actually starting to care about what he thinks
00:09:29this is far more dangerous than the contract
00:09:35he touched you
00:09:38are you spying on me
00:09:40i'm protecting you
00:09:42this was my first time leaving the estate on my own
00:09:45i needed some air
00:09:47and i needed to find a little piece of the me i used to be
00:09:51lena
00:09:58you look even more beautiful than before
00:10:04he was already gone
00:10:06but that look he gave me before he left
00:10:08i couldn't read it
00:10:18you seemed very happy today
00:10:19just a normal chat
00:10:23he touched you
00:10:26are you spying on me
00:10:28i'm protecting you
00:10:31i don't like anyone touching what belongs to me
00:10:33for the first time i realized
00:10:36he wasn't cold-blooded at all
00:10:38he had just been forcefully suppressing
00:10:43then try it
00:10:50what if i see daniel again
00:10:55what are you trying to do
00:10:57didn't you say you hate uncertainty
00:11:00here's one for you
00:11:03you want to test me
00:11:05yes
00:11:15are you sure you know what game you're playing
00:11:20you could always stop me
00:11:26then try it
00:11:31the air returned
00:11:32but my heart was still racing
00:11:35suddenly it hit me
00:11:36i wasn't fighting back just now
00:11:38i was anticipating it
00:11:45don't test me again
00:11:46i needed to cool down
00:11:48but standing in the pouring rain
00:11:50it only became clearer
00:11:52i couldn't calm down at all
00:11:53what are you betting on
00:11:55betting on whether you'll lose control
00:12:02you win
00:12:05if i just moved an inch
00:12:06it would all be over
00:12:08but i didn't step back
00:12:09didn't even close my eyes
00:12:12in that moment
00:12:13i had already made my choice
00:12:21this wasn't a test anymore
00:12:24i relaxed and kissed him back
00:12:25in that moment
00:12:27the world faded away
00:12:28leaving nothing but his heat
00:12:39don't test me again
00:12:40i didn't say a word
00:12:41because i knew deep down
00:12:44it was already way too late
00:12:48he threw the question right back at me
00:12:50my heartbeat was completely erratic
00:12:53the sun was bright the next morning
00:12:56everything seemed way too normal
00:12:57so normal that it was as if that
00:13:00out of control kiss last night never even happened
00:13:09are you just going to pretend it didn't happen
00:13:12what happened
00:13:17the words got caught in my throat
00:13:20because i suddenly realized i didn't know how to define last night
00:13:24it was a kiss but it was absolutely more than just a kiss
00:13:30what do you want it to be
00:13:33he threw the question right back at me
00:13:36my heartbeat was completely erratic
00:13:38i didn't know the answer
00:13:40and i definitely didn't dare to say it out loud
00:13:44then don't define it
00:13:49watching his back it suddenly hit me
00:13:51it wasn't he didn't care he was in absolute control
00:13:54while i had already begun to completely lose mine
00:14:00you care that's enough for me
00:14:05i couldn't fight back because i really did care that he was watching me
00:14:09his fear has been totally off lately
00:14:11every time he gets close he stops right at the edge
00:14:16what frustrates me even more is
00:14:19i'm actually waiting for him to cross it
00:14:27on the screens
00:14:29it was all me
00:14:31every single frame
00:14:35have you always been doing this
00:14:37yes
00:14:40are you spying on me
00:14:47i need to know exactly where you are
00:14:50you're sick
00:14:56you care that's enough for me
00:15:01i couldn't fight back because i really did care that he was watching me
00:15:05it hit me then
00:15:06he wasn't controlling me
00:15:08he was getting addicted to me
00:15:16do you still want to test me
00:15:18i knew he was behind me the moment the door opened
00:15:22he didn't press close but his presence
00:15:25was stronger than any actual touch
00:15:29what do you want to do now
00:15:32what do you think
00:15:36i don't want to guess
00:15:47do you still want to test me
00:16:03i didn't answer
00:16:04but i didn't pull away either
00:16:06i knew it deep down this wasn't the end
00:16:09it was the beginning of losing complete control
00:16:14he paused for less than a second
00:16:17his hand
00:16:19loosened just a fraction
00:16:21everything here was flawlessly exquisite
00:16:24but the moment i stood there i knew with absolute certainty
00:16:28i didn't belong in this world
00:16:31who is she
00:16:33when did ethan get married she doesn't look like she's from our circle
00:16:36i hated this feeling
00:16:37being judged defined and forced into a position where i clearly didn't belong
00:16:50he paused for less than a second
00:16:52his hand
00:16:54loosened just a fraction
00:16:56but that tiny shift was enough to make my heart sink
00:17:05clara
00:17:06it was the first time i heard him say a name like that
00:17:09no control no commands it was the sound of someone familiar
00:17:16long time no see
00:17:18that single look carried a natural superiority as if evacuating whether i was worthy to stand there
00:17:23i didn't move but i knew for the first time my place beside him felt completely uncertain
00:17:31i couldn't hear what she said but what stung more than any words was
00:17:35ethan didn't pull away
00:17:38you really got married
00:17:42when did you get back
00:17:45yesterday
00:17:48just in time for this
00:17:51hello
00:17:55lena
00:17:59he's changed quite a bit
00:18:05clara
00:18:07relax i'm just curious
00:18:16i couldn't hear what she said
00:18:19but what stung more than any words was
00:18:22ethan didn't pull away
00:18:23i hope you can adapt to it here
00:18:28she left but i was rooted to the spot looking at ethan i realized with brutal clarity
00:18:33i wasn't just dragged into this world i was put here to be compared and i had absolutely no way
00:18:38to fight back
00:18:41i knew deep down that wasn't me being calm it was a decision
00:18:46the car ride back was dead quiet
00:18:49i waited the whole way for even a single word of explanation
00:18:53but he said absolutely nothing
00:18:58i let out a soft laugh but that tiny sound only ended up piercing my own heart
00:19:06lena
00:19:06what is it
00:19:10what are you thinking about
00:19:15in that moment my disappointment was absolute
00:19:18i gave him a chance and he still didn't take it
00:19:23nothing
00:19:24the door clicked shut softly but it felt like severing something completely
00:19:29i knew deep down that wasn't me being calm it was a decision
00:19:35for the first time i wanted to walk away from his world
00:19:41you can ask
00:19:47if i ask will you tell me
00:19:54morning
00:19:56you're hiding
00:19:59no i acted way too normal but it was exactly this exaggerated normalcy that made the tension in the room
00:20:05even more glaring
00:20:07what do you want to ask
00:20:11i don't have the right to ask
00:20:21if i ask will you tell me
00:20:29then there's no need to ask
00:20:32his silence was the answer
00:20:34i knew clearly
00:20:36i had already taken a step back while he was still stubbornly standing exactly where he was
00:20:44no
00:20:45i'm just following our rules
00:20:51over the next few days i stopped waiting for him
00:20:54i stopped lingering in the living room
00:20:56i shifted my focus back to myself instead of this absurd relationship

00:27:30it's valid
00:27:32temporarily
00:27:34temporarily
00:27:36you're still on probation
00:27:38all right
00:27:38it was the first time he accepted my rules
00:27:41i wavered for a split second
00:27:44but i knew i couldn't step back
00:27:45if i did
00:27:46he'd take control again
00:27:52any other conditions
00:27:54keep it like this
00:27:56keep losing control
00:27:58he didn't chase after me
00:27:59but he knew it all too well
00:28:01he was completely wrapped around my finger
00:28:04utterly and hopelessly hooked
00:28:08are you still trying to hide now
00:28:10i couldn't focus on work at all
00:28:12because from the moment i sat down
00:28:15i knew
00:28:16he had been watching me
00:28:19are you that free
00:28:21you didn't go out today
00:28:24are you watching me
00:28:32i'm looking at you

00:28:52when did i ever hide
00:28:54are you sure
00:29:01you really are losing control
00:29:09if the outcome is a win
00:29:11does the process even matter
00:29:19where are we going
00:29:20to meet some people
00:29:22you are my wife now
00:29:26mr blake
00:29:30i didn't step back this time
00:29:32since he gave me this title
00:29:34i was going to own it
00:29:38your recent decisions are far too risky
00:29:41including your marriage
00:29:46if the outcome is a win
00:29:48does the process even matter
00:29:54continue
00:29:59what you did in there
00:30:00not bad
00:30:03just doing my part
00:30:05but i clearly from this moment on
00:30:06i had officially stepped into his world
00:30:08not as a subordinate
00:30:10but as an equal
00:30:19i won't be back for dinner today
00:30:21i won't be back for dinner today
00:30:33i don't know exactly what it is
00:30:37yes
00:30:37but i know for sure
00:30:38he's hiding something from me
00:30:49you went to bed early last night
00:31:02i won't be back for dinner today
00:31:04where are you going
00:31:08don't you have your own arrangements too
00:31:14the door closed softly
00:31:15but in that exact moment
00:31:17i heard it clearly
00:31:18a real crack had formed between us
00:31:22i'll handle it
00:31:25i see
00:31:25so i'm just another part of what needs to be handled
00:31:29i came back earlier than usual without telling him
00:31:33the moment i opened the door
00:31:34i knew something was off
00:31:43you shouldn't have let her get involved
00:31:45i'll handle it
00:31:46you used to say that too
00:31:48and the result
00:31:55you're back
00:31:58did i interrupt you too
00:32:00it's not what you think
00:32:03then tell me what is it
00:32:08i'll handle it
00:32:10i see
00:32:11so i'm just another part of what needs to be handled
00:32:18you chose to keep me in the dark
00:32:20so now
00:32:21there's absolutely no need to make me understand
00:32:23the morning sun was beautiful
00:32:26everything seemed completely normal
00:32:28but between us
00:32:30everything was entirely different now
00:32:37do you have something to say
00:32:42last night
00:32:43you don't need to explain
00:32:47you should listen to me
00:32:50whatever you say
00:32:51it's all the same
00:32:53because you already made your choice
00:32:58what do you mean
00:33:00you chose to keep me in the dark
00:33:01so now there's absolutely no need to make me understand
00:33:06lena
00:33:15where are you going
00:33:17isn't it obvious
00:33:19i didn't take much
00:33:20but everything was packed neatly
00:33:22this wasn't an impulse
00:33:23it was a decision
00:33:25every corner of this room used to hold my emotions
00:33:28but now
00:33:30they've all faded away
00:33:39where are you going
00:33:41where are you going
00:33:41isn't it obvious
00:33:43you can't leave
00:33:46you're doing it again
00:33:49i can explain
00:33:52there's no need
00:33:53you've already said it
00:33:55you'll handle it
00:33:56the door closed so softly
00:33:59but in that moment
00:34:01the entire space was instantly emptied
00:34:03i finally understood
00:34:04she wasn't testing me this time
00:34:06she was truly
00:34:07leaving me for good
00:34:12where is she
00:34:15she didn't show up today sir
00:34:18this was the first time i've looked at her name and had absolutely no idea what to say
00:34:38i'm not ignoring his calls to be petty i just need space to confirm one thing
00:34:43to see if i can truly leave him for good
00:34:50where is she
00:34:53she didn't show up today sir
00:34:58keep searching
00:35:03i've looked everywhere
00:35:04and only now do i realize
00:35:06i can't find her because i never truly knew the whole of her
00:35:11keep looking
00:35:12i will find her
00:35:19i don't care about control anymore
00:35:21i only have one thought
00:35:22i'm bringing her back home
00:35:25that wasn't just anger
00:35:26it was a final conclusion
00:35:29i recovered quickly as if nothing had happened
00:35:32but only i know
00:35:33i'm using logic to suppress every emotion

00:36:28his first time admitting he was wrong

00:36:32no conditions
00:36:39this was the first time
00:36:40i shut that world out completely
00:36:42because right now
00:36:43i only belong in front of this door
00:36:45i knew he was still there
00:36:47i'm waiting for him to change
00:36:49lena
00:36:50this time
00:36:52i was wrong
00:36:55his first time admitting he was wrong

00:37:17no words were needed
00:37:20in that silent gaze
00:37:22every rule dissolved
00:37:23and our world began to reshape itself
00:37:29i was wrong
00:37:31i shouldn't have kept secrets
00:37:33and i shouldn't have excluded you
00:37:37he said everything he needs to say
00:37:40the rest is in my hands
00:37:42i'm not hesitating
00:37:43i'm judging
00:37:45judging if the man in front of me has truly changed
00:37:49what you just said say it again
00:37:54i was wrong
00:37:55i shouldn't have kept secrets
00:37:57and i shouldn't have excluded you

00:38:56the same building
00:38:58the same building
00:39:00this time
00:39:01no one led me in
00:39:02i pushed open these doors myself
00:39:07personal relationships are clouding our decisions mr blake
00:39:11this is unacceptable
00:39:16then look at the results
00:39:18if we win
00:39:19do your questions even matter
00:39:23i realized for the first time
00:39:26that when she decides to fight
00:39:27she doesn't need my protection at all
00:39:40this time
00:39:41you don't have to handle me anymore right
00:39:46there is nothing left to handle
00:39:55in this moment
00:39:56everyone finally saw it
00:39:58i am no longer a secret hidden away by him
00:40:02i am the one standing truly and firmly by his side
00:40:06and this is
00:40:09my choice
00:40:14nervous

00:41:11choosing each other
00:41:18ethan
00:41:23go slow
00:41:25you've been standing there for three minutes
00:41:28i'm judging
00:41:31judging what
00:41:33whether this bed is safe enough
00:41:35it was a contract before
00:41:37it isn't now
00:41:41you're worried about that now
00:41:42so
00:41:43are you afraid of me
00:41:45you're worried about that now
00:41:49what do you think

00:42:04too much
00:42:05so
00:42:06what do you

00:42:09what do you think
00:42:11what do you think
00:42:22it
00:42:23is
00:42:23Last time I was here, everyone was guessing who I was.
00:42:26This time, all they see is confirmation.
00:42:29Lena.
00:42:36You work into you.
00:42:38You're trach less.
00:42:38We'll high five on you.
00:42:39I don't know who.
00:42:40That's seven in.
00:42:41Why didn't you tell me you were coming?
00:42:43I just felt like it.
00:42:50No explanations.
00:42:51No hiding.
00:42:53This simple gesture was his most direct public announcement.
00:43:00We need to separate personal relationships from business.
00:43:03She is not a personal variable.
00:43:05She is part of the decision.
00:43:07His favoritism was never about private whispers.
00:43:11He gave me the highest form of respect, allowing me to stand right by his side.
00:43:19In this moment, it's no longer his battlefield alone.
00:43:22The new game has officially begun.
00:43:31Sir, we have a situation.
00:43:35Speak.
00:43:39It's Clara.
00:43:41She intercepted the South American project.
00:43:47Is she coming after you?
00:43:51It could be you too.
00:43:53Even better.
00:43:54We'll solve it together.
00:43:58Let's begin.
00:43:59In this moment, it's no longer his battlefield alone.
00:44:02The new game has officially begun.
00:44:05And we are each other's strongest allies.
00:44:12What you just did was dangerous.
00:44:16So were you.
00:44:18This is the only way we can save the company.
00:44:25The pressure is building faster than ever.
00:44:28I'm not here for company anymore.
00:44:30I'm here to join this high-stakes game.
00:44:32She's cutting our core logistics line in South America.
00:44:35We're going to stall.
00:44:37It's not logistics.
00:44:38She's hitting the junction points.
00:44:40She wants control, not profit.
00:44:51She's waiting for you to make a mistake.
00:44:53So, that's work.
00:44:56Don't move.
00:44:57Do exactly what she said.
00:45:05What you just did was dangerous.
00:45:09So were you.
00:45:13I'm no longer the shadow hiding behind him.
00:45:15Or the pawn under his control.
00:45:20In this moment, we are on the same side.
00:45:29Do you have any idea what you're up against?
00:45:32I do.
00:45:33But you've underestimated me.
00:45:36I didn't tell Ethan.
00:45:38Some battles, I have to initiate myself.
00:45:44Clara.
00:45:55I thought you'd never show up.
00:45:58You've made your move.
00:46:01Did he send you?
00:46:03I came on my own.
00:46:06Do you have any idea what you're up against?
00:46:09I do.
00:46:11But you've underestimated me.
00:46:14I'm not alone.
00:46:15We're not alone.
00:46:19Fine.
00:46:20Let's begin.
00:46:22This isn't a test.
00:46:23It's war.
00:46:24From this moment on, I'm fighting for his empire.
00:46:27And my dignity.
00:46:31I'm not someone you need to protect.
00:46:34I'm the one who's going to win with you.
00:46:43I felt the tension the moment I walked in.
00:46:46He'd been waiting for a long time.
00:46:48And clearly, he hadn't read a single word of those documents.
00:46:52Where were you?
00:46:53I saw someone.
00:46:56Clara.
00:46:58I'm not someone you need to protect.
00:47:01I'm the one who's going to win with you.
00:47:07Next time, take me with you.
00:47:09We'll see.
00:47:17Then win it back.
00:47:20Fine.
00:47:22Hmm.
00:47:25Our South American nodes.
00:47:27They're locked.
00:47:33My judgment was right, but I underestimated Clara's speed.
00:47:37She didn't wait for us.
00:47:38She went straight for the throat.
00:47:47She's forcing our hand.
00:47:48The more we panic, the more she wins.
00:47:53Suspend all expansion.
00:47:56Secure the core.
00:48:00I underestimated her.
00:48:03You weren't wrong.
00:48:04You just had bad information.
00:48:06The result is wrong.
00:48:08And I am not going to make excuses for it.
00:48:12Then win it back.
00:48:15Fine.
00:48:17I didn't back down.
00:48:20A momentary slip doesn't mean the end.
00:48:22Now, I'm starting my counterattack.
00:48:31Then let's win this together.
00:48:33Of course.
00:48:35Who proposed this strategy?
00:48:37Dined it now.
00:48:38Right.
00:48:39I did.
00:48:41Every decision is my responsibility.
00:48:49You didn't have to do that.
00:48:58Yes, I did.
00:49:01It was my judgment.
00:49:04You aren't behind me.
00:49:06You are beside me.
00:49:11Then let's win this together.
00:49:12Of course.
00:49:13At that moment, I realized he wasn't blocking the arrows because he thought I was weak.
00:49:17He did it because I've become the only equal existence in his world.
00:49:24We trap her.
00:49:26Lock her in her own game.
00:49:29I didn't rest.
00:49:30I had to re-evaluate, re-evaluate every single lead.
00:49:34Clara must have left a gap.
00:49:36The moment she moved, she left a trail.
00:49:48Still up?
00:49:50I found it!
00:49:51I found her weakness!
00:50:00She's locking nodes, but her cash flow can't keep up.
00:50:03She's over-leveraged.
00:50:04If we stall, she breaks.
00:50:12We trap her.
00:50:13Lock her in her own game.
00:50:17Do it.
00:50:31This time, I won't let her be faster.
00:50:34And she won't underestimate you anymore.
00:50:36The tides turned at that moment.
00:50:38We weren't prey anymore.
00:50:39We were the hunters on the move.
00:50:43It's starting.
00:50:45Execute phase two.
00:50:46Now.
00:50:53Her capital chain is starting to fluctuate.
00:51:07It's starting.
00:51:09Execute phase two.
00:51:11Now.
00:51:22Jepp's down.
00:51:23Add another layer.
00:51:24Block her escape.
00:51:26Do it.
00:51:32We're back!
00:51:34We've surpassed the original numbers!
00:51:47I won the first step.
00:51:48This wasn't just about recovering data.
00:51:51It was the first territory I claimed in his world, by my own hands.
00:51:56Ethan gave the stage entirely to me.
00:51:59His silence wasn't a retreat.
00:52:02This time, there's no contempt in their eyes.
00:52:05I'm no longer the shadow that needs protection.
00:52:07I am standing at the very front.
00:52:09We've locked her in.
00:52:11Her funding won't last three days.
00:52:14If she continues, she falls first.
00:52:19He'll have vast times.
00:52:20And if she withdraws...
00:52:22Then she loses.
00:52:25Ethan gave the stage entirely to me.
00:52:27His silence wasn't a retreat.
00:52:29It was the ultimate support.
00:52:31At this moment, I've finally earned their respect.
00:52:37You're more dangerous than me now.
00:52:40Are you scared?
00:52:49I've reached his height.
00:52:50And it gave him a little scare.
00:52:52And that is the perfect balance in our relationship.
00:52:58At that moment, I realize she doesn't need protection.
00:53:01She's the person meant to stand in the eye of the storm with me.
00:53:05I won today, but I didn't relax.
00:53:07In this game, winning once is just the beginning.
00:53:11I'm already thinking about the next move.
00:53:15You were beautiful today.
00:53:18You're just noticing that now?
00:53:20No.
00:53:21It's just that I'm only admitting it now.
00:53:24In the meeting today,
00:53:26I didn't want you standing that far out front.
00:53:29Why?
00:53:31Because I was worried.
00:53:34Then keep up with me.
00:53:43At that moment, I realize she doesn't need protection.
00:53:46She's the person meant to stand in the eye of the storm with me.
00:53:51This isn't about who won or who surrendered.
00:53:53It's about us,
00:53:55finally deciding
00:53:56to win the world,
00:53:57together.
00:54:01It's not thiefed.
00:54:02It's bait.
00:54:03She wants us to see this.
00:54:05She's leading us to a misjudgment.
00:54:07Something's wrong.
00:54:09Our internal system was synchronized in red last night.
00:54:19Source of the authorization.
00:54:22It came from an internal key.
00:54:24It's not thiefed.
00:54:25It's bait.
00:54:26She wants us to see this.
00:54:28She's leading us to a misjudgment.
00:54:33So the real target...
00:54:34She hasn't moved yet.
00:54:40She's playing big now.
00:54:41She's trying to force us to lose control.
00:54:44Will you?
00:54:46No.
00:54:49Lena Vio.
00:54:51Clara is serious now.
00:54:53She doesn't just want our money.
00:54:54She wants my sanity.
00:54:56But I know...
00:54:58The real game has only just begun.
00:55:04Then what's the plan?
00:55:06Let it ferment.
00:55:12The atmosphere has changed.
00:55:14This isn't professional scrutiny.
00:55:16It's something dirter,
00:55:17more destructive.
00:55:20There are rumors online.
00:55:22They're saying you're using your relationship to manipulate projects.
00:55:27Who leaked it?
00:55:31Suppress everything.
00:55:32Now.
00:55:35Don't.
00:55:36The more you suppress it,
00:55:38the truer it looks.
00:55:39Then what's the plan?
00:55:40Let it ferment.
00:55:43Are you sure you can bring this back?
00:55:45I don't fight battles I can't win.
00:55:47When I friend?
00:55:51Clara wants to kill me with public opinion.
00:55:54I'll show her what it means to rise from the ashes.
00:55:59But when these filthy words target her one by one,
00:56:02I find I can't stay calm at all.
00:56:07They are attacking you.
00:56:11I know.
00:56:15This isn't a game.
00:56:23Then what do you want me to do?
00:56:31Just stand on my side.
00:56:37I'm always here.
00:56:43This was the first time he lost control because of me.
00:56:46Not for cold numbers.
00:56:48And I know.
00:56:49With him by my side,
00:56:50our counterattack has truly begun.
00:56:56If the result is a win,
00:56:57the controversy itself is meaningless.
00:57:00You're not ready for this.
00:57:04They want to see me hide behind Ethan.
00:57:06But standing here today,
00:57:08I'm telling everyone,
00:57:09this battlefield belongs to me.
00:57:11I'll do it.
00:57:16I'll answer that.
00:57:19First, I make the decisions.
00:57:22Second, I take the responsibility.
00:57:25Third,
00:57:28If the result is a win,
00:57:30the controversy itself is meaningless.
00:57:35Check the data.
00:57:37This is the answer.
00:57:40Lena Vio.
00:57:42Controversy is never settled by explanations,
00:57:45but by results.
00:57:46This wave of counterattack,
00:57:48I won.
00:57:53Seal it.
00:57:54Every channel.
00:57:55Now!
00:58:01She moved.
00:58:02It's out.
00:58:04When was this from?
00:58:06That's my past.
00:58:07And my only fatal flaw.
00:58:09I thought it was buried,
00:58:10but it became her deadliest thorn.
00:58:13Is this real?
00:58:14Yes.
00:58:16It's real.
00:58:23Seal it.
00:58:24Every channel.
00:58:25Now!
00:58:26We can't seal it.
00:58:28If she's letting this out,
00:58:30she's prepared suppression.
00:58:33You are not alone in this.
00:58:37This time,
00:58:38I must stand out first.
00:58:40I must tear this contract apart
00:58:41with my own hands.
00:58:43For him,
00:58:44and for the reborn version of myself.
00:58:48I don't care about your past.
00:58:50I only care about now.
00:58:51For three years,
00:58:52I've never missed a call
00:58:54that mattered to the business.
00:58:55But tonight,
00:58:56I don't care about the numbers.
00:58:57I only care about the person
00:58:59they're trying to destroy
00:59:00with those filthy words.
00:59:01It started.
00:59:05You don't respond.
00:59:06I'll handle this.
00:59:09I don't care about your past.
00:59:11I only care about now.
00:59:16Then you have to face the consequences.
00:59:20I've already made my choice.
00:59:24This was the first time
00:59:25I moved toward him
00:59:26in the middle of a storm.
00:59:28At this moment,
00:59:29it's not about protection.
00:59:31It's two souls
00:59:32deciding to survive
00:59:33this wreckage together.
00:59:36I'm not here to defend myself.
00:59:38I'm just telling the whole truth.
00:59:44Public relations
00:59:45can't fix human nature.
00:59:46They want to see me craft a lie.
00:59:48But I'm only giving them the truth.
00:59:50I'm here to answer.
00:59:52That agreement is real.
00:59:54Three years ago,
00:59:56I signed it.
00:59:58Because back then,
00:59:59I had no choice.
01:00:01What you need to do
01:00:02is sign here.
01:00:04What's this?
01:00:05Just some standard legal jargon.
01:00:08I wasn't the one profiting.
01:00:10I was being used.
01:00:11And I have the evidence.
01:00:13You don't need to read it.
01:00:18I'm not here to defend myself.
01:00:20I'm just telling the whole truth.
01:00:27In that moment,
01:00:29I stopped waiting for judgment
01:00:30and took the initiative back
01:00:32from Clara's hands.
01:00:35This isn't even desperation yet.
01:00:38These are her last few cards.
01:00:40You know the truth.
01:00:45I said a three-year game,
01:00:47torn down by her simple words.
01:00:51Impossible.
01:00:52She shouldn't have had the courage
01:00:54to admit it.
01:01:00Release the second one.
01:01:02Now.
01:01:09She's getting desperate.
01:01:14This isn't even desperation yet.
01:01:16These are her last few cards.
01:01:26Then let her play them all.
01:01:35You shouldn't have survived
01:01:37until now.
01:01:38She's starting to lose it.
01:01:39That was the first time
01:01:40she spoke with emotion.
01:01:42And I know a desperate opponent
01:01:43is close to total collapse.
01:01:48Not just the game,
01:01:49but my name has become
01:01:51a footnote to her victory.
01:01:53The second allegation.
01:01:55Let's look at the facts.
01:01:57It's hergy,
01:01:59rebound and more
01:01:59depreciations of Haverk fast.
01:02:06What you saw before
01:02:07was a fragment.
01:02:09But to serve a line
01:02:10to the country's of aircraft
01:02:11and have independent meaning
01:02:13than your license.
01:02:15The true controller
01:02:16of these funds,
01:02:18Clara.
01:02:19This is the final answer.
01:02:21Not just the game,
01:02:23but my name has become
01:02:24a footnote to her victory.
01:02:27This isn't just a counterattack.
01:02:30It's a public execution.
01:02:36Fine.
01:02:37Then let's end this.
01:02:39At this moment,
01:02:40the game is truly over.
01:02:41Clara lost more than just a project.
01:02:43She lost her dignity
01:02:44as the master of the board.
01:02:48You will be held liable
01:02:50for the funding issues.
01:02:53The board has made its decision.
01:02:58I know.
01:03:00I've been waiting for you.
01:03:03All your authorities
01:03:04are suspended.
01:03:05An investigation has been launched.
01:03:08You will be held liable
01:03:10for the funding issues.
01:03:16Finally.
01:03:19She was one step faster than me.
01:03:22Book me a flight.
01:03:24Where to?
01:03:25Somewhere far away.
01:03:28She didn't lose to me.
01:03:29She lost to a rhythm
01:03:30that was already broken.
01:03:32Her era is over.
01:03:34Ours
01:03:34has just begun.
01:03:38So, who will take charge
01:03:40of the South American sector
01:03:42moving forward?
01:03:43Me.
01:03:44This time,
01:03:45there's no scent of blood in the air.
01:03:47These numbers aren't my shield.
01:03:49They're the throne.
01:03:52So, who will take charge
01:03:54of the South American sector
01:03:55moving forward?
01:04:00Me.
01:04:09You're the center
01:04:10of this place now.
01:04:14No.
01:04:16I'm my own.
01:04:22I know.
01:04:24This isn't the end.
01:04:26No contracts.
01:04:27No dependency.
01:04:29Only control reclaimed
01:04:30by my own hands.
01:04:32Here,
01:04:32I am finally my own.
01:04:38Then you'll be chasing
01:04:39for a long time.
01:04:40I have time.
01:04:43Lena,
01:04:44VO,
01:04:45everything is back
01:04:46to where it started.
01:04:48But everything has changed.
01:04:51Without those chaotic files,
01:04:53I can finally be
01:04:54a quiet version of myself.
01:05:04Remember the beginning?
01:05:06The contract.
01:05:09Right.
01:05:10We wrote everything down back then.
01:05:13We don't need it anymore.
01:05:16Lena,
01:05:17Kalmanis.
01:05:22Why?
01:05:24Because I won't use terms
01:05:25to keep you.
01:05:29And if I leave,
01:05:34I'll chase you.
01:05:42Then you'll be chasing
01:05:43for a long time.
01:05:44I have time.
01:05:49No contracts.
01:05:50No terms.
01:05:52Only us.
01:05:52In this night
01:05:53where nothing needs
01:05:54to be proven.
01:05:55Choosing each other.
