00:34:52To be quiet
00:35:22Where are you, Shana?
00:35:28Aw, you look fabulous.
00:35:30I love it.
00:35:31Hi.
00:35:36Antonio?
00:35:43Finally.
00:35:44The whole family is here.
00:35:47Let me make the introduction proper.
00:35:49My fiance, Antonio.
00:35:51He's Catherine's fiance?
00:35:56And my niece, Shannon.
00:35:59She's Catherine's niece?
00:36:04Antonio is engaged to my aunt?
00:36:07Does that make him my uncle by law?
00:36:11Why the stunned face, Antonio?
00:36:13Oh, you're Shannon's aunt?
00:36:17Her guardian, technically.
00:36:20After her mother passed.
00:36:22How could I abandon her?
00:36:24Why didn't you tell me this earlier?
00:36:26Why does it matter?
00:36:27You're her professor.
00:36:29Knowing this wouldn't change anything.
00:36:34Oh, come on.
00:36:36Dinner's waiting.
00:36:37This can't be real.
00:36:52To our dear Shannon.
00:36:55Finally home where she belongs.
00:36:57Is that wine?
00:37:02Amelia, why don't you get your cousin some juice instead?
00:37:08Sure, not with me.
00:37:16Here you are.
00:37:17Oh, my God.
00:37:40I'm so, so sorry.
00:37:43Here, are you all right?
00:37:45I'm fine.
00:37:45Oh, he's so protective of his niece.
00:37:52What a gentleman.
00:37:54Antonio, darling.
00:37:55Why don't you go change first?
00:38:01Second floor.
00:38:02Five minutes.
00:38:07Why does he care for her so much?
00:38:15Antonio.
00:38:16Why didn't you tell me Catherine is your aunt?
00:38:26You're questioning me?
00:38:28You didn't tell me you were engaged.
00:38:30To her.
00:38:31That's not the point.
00:38:32Why did you sell yourself?
00:38:34You could have asked for money from Catherine instead of...
00:38:35You're her fiancé.
00:38:37Why are you buying someone's virginity if you're so moral?
00:38:40It's not like that.
00:38:42Catherine and I, we...
00:38:43We're not really engaged.
00:38:46It's...
00:38:47Antonio, are you in there?
00:39:00Don't move.
00:39:11What are you doing?
00:39:13Antonio, are you in there?
00:39:15Don't move.
00:39:25Catherine, what are you doing here?
00:39:26I brought you a fresh shirt.
00:39:35Just leave it there.
00:39:36I'm taking a shower.
00:39:38You've been so protective of Shannon lately.
00:39:42Well, she is family, isn't she?
00:39:44Really?
00:39:47I figured your sudden kindness has something more to do with her mother.
00:39:54What are you getting at?
00:39:55Don't act so clueless, Antonio.
00:39:57Everyone remembers the scandal.
00:40:00You killed your last girlfriend, didn't you?
00:40:07Poor Lucy.
00:40:09Shannon's mother.
00:40:15You killed your last girlfriend, didn't you?
00:40:18Poor Lucy.
00:40:20Shannon's mother.
00:40:22So tell me, Antonio.
00:40:27How does it feel to look at the same face?
00:40:33Guilt?
00:40:34Or maybe something more...
00:40:37primal?
00:40:38That's enough, Catherine.
00:40:39Get out!
00:40:41Just remember, Antonio.
00:40:43You owe your combat to me.
00:40:46Don't ruin it for some cheap girl.
00:40:48You killed my mom?
00:40:57No, Shannon.
00:40:58It's not true.
00:40:59But she just said that you did.
00:41:00The rumors weren't true.
00:41:02I didn't.
00:41:03Don't!
00:41:05I don't want to hear another lie.
00:41:07I just saw her run out of the house.
00:41:21What happened?
00:41:22It's none of your business.
00:41:23Shannon.
00:41:37Shannon.
00:41:39Hey.
00:41:40Hey.
00:41:41It's late.
00:41:42Let me take you home.
00:41:43I don't want your help.
00:41:45Just leave me alone.
00:41:47I know this is overwhelming.
00:41:50Don't you want to know the truth about your parents?
00:41:51Fine.
00:41:57Let's talk.
00:42:10What was my mother to you?
00:42:13Did you kill her?
00:42:14How could you think I could do such a thing?
00:42:17After everything we've been through.
00:42:19Why shouldn't I?
00:42:20You slept with me.
00:42:21You're engaged to my aunt.
00:42:23And now you're only with me because of my mom.
00:42:26Is there anything you wouldn't do?
00:42:28Who's the man on the right?
00:42:43That's your father.
00:42:45Oscar.
00:42:49He met your mom while they were in college.
00:42:52And we fell in love.
00:42:53Oscar was like a brother to me, but he was seriously ill and he passed away when you were four.
00:43:04And what happened to my mom?
00:43:20Struggled.
00:43:21I tried my best to help her through that time, but people misinterpreted everything.
00:43:27I tried my best to be there for her.
00:43:51For Oscar's sake, I never meant for things to get complicated.
00:44:00She wasn't your girlfriend?
00:44:04Then what happened the night she died?
00:44:11Then what happened the night she died?
00:44:13It was an accident.
00:44:24We were driving home from the performance.
00:44:27The road was slick.
00:44:29I just couldn't stop the car.
00:44:35The police said that the brake cable had been cut.
00:44:39I promise.
00:44:41It was sabotaged.
00:44:43But they never found out who did it.
00:44:45Please.
00:44:46Please.
00:44:55Please.
00:44:57Please.
00:44:57Please.
00:44:58Please.
00:44:59Please.
00:44:59Please.
00:44:59Please.
00:45:00Please.
00:45:00Please.
00:45:00Please.
00:45:01Help!
00:45:01Somebody help!
00:45:03Please!
00:45:03Help!
00:45:04Please!
00:45:04Help!
00:45:05Help!
00:45:05Please!
00:45:06Please!
00:45:06Help!
00:45:07Help!
00:45:07In the media, they said that I planned the accident.
00:45:10And I was...
00:45:12I was just too overwhelmed to stop the rumors.
00:45:17I was just too overwhelmed to stop the rumors.
00:45:26They continue.
00:45:27They continue.
00:45:28To this day.
00:45:29They continue.
00:45:30To this day.
00:45:31So you fell in love with me.
00:45:33Was that just some sick way of trying to ease the guilt about my mom?
00:45:39Do you only care for me because I remind you of my mom?
00:45:52Is that why you took me in as your student?
00:45:57I didn't.
00:45:58But...
00:45:59But it's more than my career this time.
00:46:00If you want to get back to your music and reclaim your reputation, you'll have to engage me.
00:46:07If I don't?
00:46:08You don't have a choice.
00:46:09Your fame's gone.
00:46:10It's ruined.
00:46:11I am the only one who would have a choice.
00:46:12Your fame's gone.
00:46:13It's ruined.
00:46:14I am the only one who would have a choice.
00:46:16I am the only one who would hire you.
00:46:17I can't let rumors consume you two.
00:46:21I can't let rumors consume you two.
00:46:23It is.
00:46:24It's ruined.
00:46:25If I don't
00:46:31You don't have a choice your fame's gone. It's rude
00:46:39I'm the only one who would hire you I
00:46:44Can't let rumors consume you too
00:46:48You're right
00:46:50Everything I did was because of your mom I see her in you
00:46:53So I chose you to be my student, and that's why I bought
00:46:59Your first night you're lying believe what you want, but from now on we're only going to be known as student and teacher or
00:47:08Your aunt's fiance
00:47:19I'm sorry Shannon
00:47:23You
00:47:33Are they talking about me?
00:47:35I'm sorry
00:47:45Your talents are just as invisible as that bucket Shannon
00:47:49Did you hear the good news?
00:47:50Your mentor left you because you're nothing
00:47:53She thought her pretty little face would make her a prodigy truth is she's just a whore
00:47:59Hey, smile for the camera little whore
00:48:06Anyone else want to play this game?
00:48:08Would someone like to explain to me what the hell is going on here?
00:48:20It's because you dropped her as a mentee
00:48:22So that means you can bully her?
00:48:25How about this?
00:48:27You and everyone else involved gets put on probation
00:48:37How about this?
00:48:38You and everyone else involved gets put on probation
00:48:43What's going on here?
00:48:44Mom, Mr. Lawson is punishing the entire class and it's because of her a student no one wants
00:48:59Speaking of this since you don't want to be Shannon's mentor anymore. I've already found you a new one
00:49:07No
00:49:08I'm not mentoring anyone
00:49:11What?
00:49:12Let me clarify. I stepped down because my own issues
00:49:16Not Shannon's I've been out of active teaching for years. I'm still getting my bearings
00:49:20I'm unfit to guide anyone
00:49:22You're ruining your reputation
00:49:27So be it I've arranged for Shannon to work with Mr. Martin
00:49:38Shannon glad to see you again. I'll be your mentor from now on
00:49:45Martin is a highly respected mentor and he will guide her well
00:49:50I hear she's a a bit of a challenge
00:50:03But I'm sure I can handle it
00:50:06She's not a challenge. She's one of the best
00:50:08Antonio
00:50:10She's not your responsibility anymore. Is she?
00:50:16No, I suppose not
00:50:18All right, folks, let's get back to work
00:50:34From now on Antonio and I are nothing more than student and teacher
00:50:39Tears won't fix your mistakes
00:50:47Tears won't fix your mistakes
00:51:00Sorry, I'll continue
00:51:09You're so passionate
00:51:18You're so
00:51:20Passionate
00:51:22Sir
00:51:23That's good
00:51:24I
00:51:26Think I think we should just continue the lesson
00:51:29Antonio is not the only one
00:51:39Antonio is not the only one who sees your potential
00:51:45You don't want to cry over him
00:51:48She's nothing
00:51:48Please
00:51:49Please
00:51:52Please
00:51:53Please
00:51:54Can you stop?
00:51:55Please
00:51:56Please
00:51:57I've seen the way he looks at you
00:52:01You seduced him
00:52:05Didn't you?
00:52:06If he can have you
00:52:11He can have you
00:52:14Mike can't die
00:52:22Stay away from me
00:52:24Oh, so brave now
00:52:27Why don't you come over and let daddy take a look at your little hand
00:52:31Go ahead
00:52:32Get out
00:52:39Stop!
00:52:40Please!
00:52:41Please!
00:52:42Get your hands off her
00:52:50Don't you dare touch her
00:52:52Ever!
00:52:57Get out!
00:53:01Get out!
00:53:03Get out!
00:53:04Get out!
00:53:05Yes!
00:53:06No!
00:53:08No!
00:53:10Stop!
00:53:11Stop!
00:53:12Please!
00:53:13Get out!
00:53:14Keep it out!
00:53:16Stop!
00:53:16Please!
00:53:17Take it off!
00:53:18Please!
00:53:19Get your hands off her!
00:53:21Don't you dare touch her?
00:53:22Never!
00:53:24Off me!
00:53:26If I see you near her again
00:53:27I'll rip your tongue out, with my bare hands
00:53:29Do you understand me?
00:53:30Let me see.
00:53:45I'm sorry.
00:53:47This shouldn't have happened.
00:53:49It's none of your business.
00:53:51You're not my teacher anymore.
00:53:53But I promised you.
00:53:54I promised to protect you.
00:53:56Remember?
00:53:57So you think you're a hero now?
00:53:59Like I'm a damsel you can just swoop in to save whenever it suits you?
00:54:04I'm not trying to use you to fix anything, Shannon.
00:54:08Then why?
00:54:10Why are you doing this?
00:54:12Do you think I'm your fucking possession?
00:54:15Like you're the one man that can actually touch me?
00:54:19Oh, fucking hell.
00:54:29This feels so great
00:54:36But still it's so new
00:54:40I'm so glad I met someone like you
00:54:46No.
00:54:49Antonio, we can't.
00:54:50We can't.
00:54:51Martin just quit in a huff
00:55:00Care to explain what's going on here?
00:55:11Martin just quit in a huff
00:55:13Care to explain what's going on here?
00:55:15Ask Martin
00:55:16You just ran out of here like a coward
00:55:18After you harassed Shannon
00:55:19That's some serious claim, Antonio
00:55:22Do you have any proof?
00:55:25It's true
00:55:26He judged
00:55:28You don't need to explain anymore
00:55:29I need to be reinstated as Shannon's mentor
00:55:32And you expect me to agree to that?
00:55:36If you don't
00:55:37I will tell everyone
00:55:38Exactly what just happened in this classroom
00:55:41Are you threatening me?
00:55:44No
00:55:44We both know
00:55:47That a scandal would harm this school, right?
00:55:54Fine
00:55:55But don't you ever forget, Antonio
00:55:58You're mine
00:56:01You made a promise when we got engaged
00:56:03And you will act like the fiancé I expect from this arrangement
00:56:07Let's go
00:56:09Just like her mother
00:56:17If she thinks she can lure Antonio away from me
00:56:21She's sucky mistaken
00:56:24That's enough, Professor
00:56:35I can take it from here
00:56:37What did you just call me?
00:56:41You called me Professor
00:56:42Yes, Professor
00:56:44I think we should keep it professional
00:56:47You're engaged to Catherine
00:56:50And I have no intention of being a mistress
00:56:53I'm not with her, Shannon
00:56:55Well, everyone knows you're engaged
00:56:57So
00:56:57And you guys have a deal, don't you?
00:57:01It's not like that
00:57:04Shannon
00:57:06I don't want to hurt you
00:57:11Then you should keep your distance
00:57:14Hello
00:57:18Hello
00:57:24Hello
00:57:25An angel?
00:57:55Standing all alone?
00:57:57Um...
00:57:59Sorry, I have to go.
00:58:01You don't remember me, do you?
00:58:06We've met before.
00:58:10The auction house?
00:58:17We've met before.
00:58:21The auction house?
00:58:26I think you're mistaken.
00:58:28Oh, I would never forget a face that left such an impression.
00:58:34Pity though, you were taken by someone else.
00:58:38I don't know what you're talking about.
00:58:41Stay with me, and I'll offer you more than that auction ever could.
00:58:49Let me go.
00:58:52Let go of me.
00:58:54Hey!
00:58:56I suggest you leave her alone.
00:59:00Is this how you treat a selected candidate?
00:59:05Seriously.
00:59:06She's a candidate of the Chopin competition.
00:59:11Her.
00:59:12Selling herself up in a virgin auction, and she's Green's prize pianist candidate?
00:59:18She sold herself in the virgin auction?
00:59:22I mean, what is Green really thinking?
00:59:27Well, no wonder you paid your tuition so quickly.
00:59:32You sold your first night in bed for that?
00:59:35No.
00:59:36It's...
00:59:39How dare you use the green name to join the competition?
00:59:43You're shaming us all.
00:59:45Whore.
00:59:47Never answered a hall with that slutty face.
00:59:50It's disgusting.
00:59:53Oh, perfect timing.
00:59:55Who gave you the nerve to shame her right in front of me?
01:00:05Who gave you the nerve to shame her right in front of me?
01:00:14She doesn't need to sell herself for money.
01:00:17I'm funding her tuition.
01:00:21You!
01:00:23Fascinating.
01:00:25You know, I've always been curious about you, Antonio.
01:00:28You're not even a pianist anymore.
01:00:31So what's your claim to this kind of money?
01:00:33I don't need to justify my finances to you.
01:00:35Don't need to or can't?
01:00:39I mean, we all know you couldn't get hired after the scandal.
01:00:42So where exactly does your money come from?
01:00:44I heard he's the one who killed his girlfriend.
01:00:48And now he's funding some girl?
01:00:51I mean, where did he get that kind of money?
01:00:54I believe I can answer that.
01:00:57I believe I can answer that.
01:01:06Antonio here is the heir to Lawson Enterprises.
01:01:10And as for the money to fund his protege's education, it's a small fraction compared to what he controls.
01:01:22Wait, what?
01:01:23You're the heir of the Lawson Enterprises?
01:01:26The Lawson family?
01:01:28They own half of Europe's wealth and he's teaching here?
01:01:33That's impossible.
01:01:34And Lawson would never buy a virgin.
01:01:38Shut your mouth, Josh.
01:01:40You will respect my student or I'll make sure you regret it.
01:01:47As for your behavior, insulting a student and tarnishing the Green's reputation, you're not welcome here.
01:01:55Mr. Lawson, please.
01:01:57I know.
01:01:58Listen.
01:01:59Please listen to me.
01:02:00I'm so sorry.
01:02:01Please let me explain this.
01:02:02Let me explain this, please.
01:02:04Come on.
01:02:05Let's get out of here.
01:02:06Antonio, wait.
01:02:07I need to talk to you.
01:02:08Not now.
01:02:09It doesn't matter.
01:02:10You should talk to your brother.
01:02:12No.
01:02:13You matter more.
01:02:14How could you, Antonio?
01:02:17How could you hide your identity from me?
01:02:20You wouldn't have given up on me if you knew, would you, Catherine?
01:02:26Someone like him backing her?
01:02:30Shannon's guaranteed to take the top prize.
01:02:34With the Lawson name alone, she's gonna crush the competition.
01:02:39Mom, what do we do now?
01:02:41I'll make sure she doesn't win.
01:02:44No matter who stands behind her.
01:02:51You just bought me this dress.
01:02:54And now it's ruined.
01:02:57It's just a dress, Shannon.
01:02:59Hey, we can buy another one.
01:03:02Why can't you just tell me who you are?
01:03:05First, you're engaged to my aunt.
01:03:07And now you're the heir to Lawson Enterprises?
01:03:12After the scandal, I had no choice but to hide who I really am.
01:03:17Hey.
01:03:20That's enough.
01:03:21Look at how your so-called dream of music has destroyed you.
01:03:25People are calling you a murderer.
01:03:27Your reputation's ruined.
01:03:29Your girlfriend's dead.
01:03:35What's your point?
01:03:37Father sent me.
01:03:38Come back.
01:03:40Take your responsibility as the heir.
01:03:42No, William.
01:03:45I'm not a Lawson anymore.
01:03:47And maybe this is the only way I will ruin your precious reputation.
01:03:52Then die with your music.
01:03:59Catherine?
01:04:00She...
01:04:02She offered me my only way out.
01:04:06A position at Green.
01:04:08If I agreed to marry her.
01:04:09So how did you end up at the auction?
01:04:11So how did you end up at the auction?
01:04:12So how did you end up at the auction?
01:04:16At first?
01:04:17I did use you.
01:04:18To escape her, I won't deny it.
01:04:19But Shannon, somewhere along the way, I can't lie to myself anymore.
01:04:22I fell in love with you.
01:04:23I fell in love with you.
01:04:24I'm sorry.
01:04:25But no matter your feelings for me.
01:04:26You're my aunt's fiance.
01:04:27I can't.
01:04:28You're right.
01:04:30Perhaps it's better if we just keep our distance.
01:04:35That way it won't cause you more pain.
01:04:37That's right.
01:04:38I'm sorry.
01:04:40And I won't do anything.
01:04:41I'm sorry.
01:04:42But no matter your feelings for me, you're my aunt's fiancée.
01:04:48I can't.
01:04:49You're right.
01:04:51Perhaps it's better if we just keep our distance.
01:04:55That way it won't cause you more pain.
01:04:59Then let's do it.
01:05:00Your intuition was right.
01:05:16Antonio was the one who bought Shannon at the auction.
01:05:22Antonio Shannon.
01:05:25Neither of you would get away with it.
01:05:28Let me know when you're ready to take the next steps.
01:05:30I will.
01:05:50Right on time.
01:05:53What do you want?
01:05:55It's not about what we want.
01:05:57It's about what you're going to do.
01:06:01No.
01:06:02No.

01:21:05Let's hear the winner's story.
01:21:11This award isn't just for me tonight.
01:21:15It's for my mom and for my mentor, Antonio Lawson.
01:21:22Antonio saved my life tonight.
01:21:26And now he's lying injured in a hospital because of it.
01:21:30If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be standing here right now.
01:21:34Antonio believed in me when no one else did.
01:21:36He gave up everything to give me a chance.
01:21:40He always says that music has the power to change hearts.
01:21:45I hope that tonight my music did just that.
01:21:50No.
01:22:06Wait.
01:22:08Please.
01:22:10Let me see him.
01:22:12Okay.
01:22:13Antonio, you liar.
01:22:21Why did you sacrifice everything for me?
01:22:25Antonio, I love you.
01:22:29Please don't leave me.
01:22:30You should really leave that poor man in peace, Shannon.
01:22:44And if you're going to confess, you should do it to the right man.
01:22:47You scared me half to death, you idiot.
01:22:52Yeah.
01:22:54I heard about your performance.
01:22:56Your mother would be proud.
01:22:58Are you proud?
01:23:05More than you'll ever know.
01:23:06Sir, we've found Josh Lowe.
01:23:16He has confessed his crime with Catherine to orchestrating Lucy's accident and attempting to harm Shannon.
01:23:23What is it?
01:23:25There's something you need to know about your mother's tragedy.
01:23:27Why, Catherine?
01:23:37Why did you kill my mom?
01:23:39She was your sister!
01:23:40She stopped being my sister the moment she stole my man!
01:23:44Antonio was supposed to be mine!
01:23:46I was never Lucy's!
01:23:48And I could never love someone as heartless as you, not for a single moment!
01:23:51Of course you couldn't.
01:23:53That's why I had Josh plant the rumors.
01:23:55To destroy your career, I needed you to fall straight into my hands.
01:24:01But even after everything I did, you still chose her.
01:24:04A bitch and a wicked mother!
01:24:06My love for Shannon has nothing to do with Lucy.
01:24:10I love her.
01:24:14You'll never be along with him.
01:24:17His family would never accept someone like you.
01:24:20That's enough, Catherine!
01:24:22You know I'm right, Antonio!
01:24:24The moment you leave for Europe, it'll all be over.
01:24:29You have no right to speak for our family, Catherine Barnes.
01:24:33If my son stands by her, then so will I.
01:24:44Father, I...
01:24:45Let me finish.
01:24:47And I always thought that you cared more for your music than for your family.
01:24:52But I was wrong.
01:24:54Today I saw a man who was willing to give up everything he loved for someone else, showing true responsibility.
01:25:02Thank you, Father.
01:25:03You can't be serious.
01:25:07This girl is a whore!
01:25:09She's nothing but a whore!
01:25:11You've caused enough pain.
01:25:14They have my support.
01:25:15And nothing you can say will change that.
01:25:19And you'll do nothing but face the consequences for your crimes.
01:25:22Officer, take her away.
01:25:26No.
01:25:26No, Antonio, you can't do this to me!
01:25:29You can't do this to me!
01:25:31Get off me!
01:25:32Missy, help me!
01:25:34Antonio!
01:25:40Hey.
01:25:42It's over now, Shannon.
01:25:43Mom, Dad, justice has been served.
01:26:05And...
01:26:05I became the pianist you'd always dreamed I'd be.
01:26:19They'd be so proud of you.
01:26:28I miss them so much.
01:26:30But you're not alone anymore, Shannon.
01:26:32I understand now why you gave me that brooch, Lucy.
01:26:39You wanted me to protect her.
01:26:42To guide her, right?
01:26:45I'll keep my promise.
01:26:47I'll take care of Shannon for as long as I live.
01:26:53So please...
01:26:55rest in peace.
01:26:56You are the star of my life, Shannon.
01:27:21Is this your graduation surprise?
01:27:23It's a little more than that.
01:27:32Shannon what?
01:27:34From the moment we met,
01:27:36you reminded me of everything I never knew I needed.
01:27:39Your mother entrusted you to this world.
01:27:41And now, I want to be the one entrusted with your heart.
01:27:47Will you marry me?
01:27:48Yes.
01:27:51Yes, Antonio.
01:27:58You have made this the most unforgettable night of my life.
01:28:03This is only the beginning, my dear wife.
01:28:05I'm looking for the first few years to say too much.
01:28:07Anne and I, Christina.
01:28:19Bye.
01:28:19Bye.
01:28:21Bye.
01:28:22Bye.
01:28:22Bye.
01:28:23Bye.
01:28:23Bye.
01:28:23Bye.
01:28:25Bye.
01:28:27Bye.
01:28:28Bye.
01:28:32Bye.
01:28:32Bye.
