00:00:00I'm Maya Hart, a wedding planner, and this is not part of the wedding plan.
00:00:08Making a scene at my client's engagement party? Not my style.
00:00:12How we got here? It all started a week ago.
00:00:19Come on, you're gonna play this game with me right now?
00:00:24Come on, where did you go?
00:00:26Where did you go?
00:00:29Parker? Tracy?
00:00:32Oh my god, Maya.
00:00:33Maya, you're home early.
00:00:35Listen, it doesn't look like what you think it is.
00:00:37Oh, it's not what it looks like? So you're not fucking my best friend?
00:00:42Tracy, you're supposed to be my maid of honor. How could you do this to me?
00:00:46Is that my nightgown?
00:00:49Maya, all you ever do is do work. It's so dull and pathetic.
00:00:53Parker needs a real woman, someone like me.
00:00:58I mean, she is right. You always do work. What am I supposed to do? A man has needs.
00:01:04Needs? You mean like this fancy apartment, utility bills, and student debt that I've been paying?
00:01:12You don't see the real problem that needs to be solved.
00:01:15Maya, let me give you a tip.
00:01:17It's you.
00:01:18Get out of my house. Now!
00:01:21Geez, calm down. You're the one who's throwing it all away.
00:01:27Tracy, are you okay?
00:01:29Let's go, babe. We'll finish it at my place.
00:01:34You're unbelievable.
00:01:52Wake up. It's time to get to work.
00:01:54A client just named you to design her wedding.
00:01:57Not sure why they chose you and nobody, but...
00:01:59I'll do my best.
00:02:00You've got to bring your A-game. Do you understand?
00:02:03Do not mess this up.
00:02:22Good to see you again, Maya.
00:02:24What?
00:02:26We're so honored to design your wedding, and we promise you a lifelong memory you will never forget.
00:02:31No, no, no, Annie. I absolutely...
00:02:34This isn't just a client. This is the daughter of the Black family.
00:02:37If you say no to this, you might as well pack up your things now and go.
00:02:41I'm sure our designer will surprise me.
00:02:45Do you hear that?
00:02:47If you want to keep your job, you better treat this like it's your own wedding.
00:02:50I'm sure she will. After all, it's your wedding, right Maya?
00:02:54How dare you?
00:02:55Hey!
00:02:57If you want to keep your job, you better treat this like it's your own wedding.
00:03:00I'm sure she will. After all, it's your wedding, right Maya?
00:03:04How dare you?
00:03:05Hey!
00:03:20Thank you. Have a wonderful night.
00:03:21Hi. Yes, if you could please sign.
00:03:24Hi. Welcome. If you could please sign.
00:03:26Oh my God.
00:03:31Welcome. Please sign here.
00:03:34Okay. Calm down, Maya. This is just work, and you got this.
00:03:45Thank you. Have a wonderful evening.
00:03:49Hi. Welcome. If you could please sign.
00:03:51Of course.
00:03:54Hi.
00:04:00Ethan, what's going on? You didn't answer any of your grandma's calls.
00:04:04What calls? I didn't get any calls.
00:04:07See?
00:04:12Who's that?
00:04:24Hi.
00:04:33I get it. Alright, get out of here, juicy.
00:04:45You cannot drink your problems away, darling.
00:04:49Cheers.
00:04:50So, what are the plans for my wedding, genius?
00:04:54And remember, no coffin from you.
00:04:57I have standards.
00:04:59Don't worry. I wouldn't waste my ideas on a couple of cheers.
00:05:04Tracy, I didn't know you were already engaged.
00:05:06You and Parker make such a lovely couple.
00:05:09Oh, and is this the wedding planner that you were talking about?
00:05:12She's so young and talented.
00:05:15Yeah, she's adorable.
00:05:18Thanks, girls.
00:05:19Maya did a wonderful job.
00:05:22And I bet she has a perfect boyfriend to inspire your work, right?
00:05:26Oh, really?
00:05:28He's gonna be here today at this fancy event, right?
00:05:33Oh, you'll make him up just to feel yourself better?
00:05:37That would be such an awful thing to do.
00:05:47There he is.
00:05:50Oh, my God.
00:06:08I'm so sorry, Mr. Winston. I was not expecting you to be here.
00:06:11My friend is being silly. She just got dumped.
00:06:14Oh, my God. I hope she did not offend you.
00:06:16It's so good to have you here.
00:06:18My father, he does a business with the Winston Group, but I never thought you would show up.
00:06:22Thank you, but tell me, what's so offensive about me kissing my fiancé?
00:06:26Are you crazy?
00:06:28Winston's family basically owns this entire city and this place included.
00:06:32Stop being a drunk loser and apologize to Mr. Winston now.
00:06:36It's so embarrassing.
00:06:39Is she out of her mind?
00:06:41Out of my mind?
00:06:43No, true insanity would be faking happiness at a wedding built on deception.
00:06:48It's just a joke.
00:06:50Maya, do you honestly believe you can get yourself attached to the richest family by pulling something like this?
00:06:57Taking discarded trash from me, Parker, in this wedding?
00:07:01Is this your something old for the big day?
00:07:07No one touches my fiancé.
00:07:19Hey, I think I have this.
00:07:21I need a favor.
00:07:49I'm sorry.
00:07:54What a troublemaker.
00:07:56Well...
00:08:06Um...
00:08:10So, so what happened?
00:08:12You don't remember?
00:08:14I remember taking your phone and...
00:08:21Oh my God.
00:08:23I should probably just...
00:08:25It's fine.
00:08:27Relax.
00:08:33So, um...
00:08:35How did I get here?
00:08:37Well, I had to bring you somewhere safe.
00:08:39Otherwise, you probably would have went on a rampage and ruined the entire engagement party.
00:08:43Oh my God.
00:08:44My boss is gonna kill me.
00:08:46Look, I'm so sorry for taking your phone and the mess.
00:08:50And if I cause any trouble, I promise I'll clear it all up.
00:08:53But right now, I really have to go.
00:08:56Ashley, it's probably not gonna be that easy to fix.
00:09:03What do you think?
00:09:04Fiancé.
00:09:06In a rare public appearance,
00:09:08Ethan, the youngest son of the Winston family,
00:09:11was spotted at an engagement party hosted by a family business partner.
00:09:15It was reported that he made a public statement declaring his engagement and left with his fiancé.
00:09:21So when did my grandson get engaged?
00:09:23Fiancé is the wedding planner of this family.
00:09:39You're done, Maya.
00:09:41What the hell were you thinking?
00:09:42The wedding planner showing up at the engagement party and stealing the spotlight?
00:09:46Do you have any idea what this means for our reputation?
00:09:48I'm so sorry.
00:09:49The orders for the next six months are cancelled.
00:09:53And now, Tracy is the only one left.
00:09:56I'm so sorry.
00:09:57I'm so sorry.
00:09:58I'm so sorry.
00:09:59I'm so sorry.
00:10:00I'm so sorry.
00:10:01I'm so sorry.
00:10:02I'm so sorry.
00:10:03I'm so sorry.
00:10:04I'm so sorry.
00:10:05I'm so sorry.
00:10:06I'm so sorry.
00:10:07And now Tracy wants to sue.
00:10:09Do you have any idea how much that could cost us?
00:10:14But there is something you can do.
00:10:16Tracy said if you can find something extremely unique and make this the wedding of the century,
00:10:22she'll drop the case.
00:10:25Okay.
00:10:26The condition is the artist's noiré.
00:10:30You have to get him to collaborate on the design.
00:10:33But no one's been able to find noiré for the past three years.
00:10:36Am I supposed to...
00:10:38You can pack up and leave the company.
00:10:48Are you okay, Grandma?
00:10:51Well, I might be okay if you bring the girl back.
00:10:54Listen, Ethan, you're my favorite and only heir to the Winston family.
00:10:59I want to walk you down the aisle, not being old and sitting in a wheelchair.
00:11:05If you don't act soon, I'll just arrange for you to marry someone else,
00:11:09and I won't care if you like it or not.
00:11:21We need to stay engaged.
00:11:35We need to stay engaged.
00:11:37What?
00:11:40Here's the deal.
00:11:41I need you, Maya, need to be my fiancé.
00:11:45Just pretend.
00:11:46No, I'm tired of the lies and deceit.
00:11:48Edith is talking about you, right?
00:11:50You need to take responsibility for this.
00:11:53That doesn't mean I need to keep faking it.
00:11:55No, I need to get back to work.
00:11:57Please just leave my apartment.
00:12:05This could be the one lie that ends all lies.
00:12:08Out!
00:12:09Alright, alright, anything you want, just ask, I'll make it happen.
00:12:14Well, you know that artist that hasn't been seen in the public in three years?
00:12:18I need him to co-plan this wedding with me,
00:12:20so unless there's a magical way you can make him appear, then please just leave.
00:12:26What if I just happen to know this Mr. DeMore?
00:12:29Graduated from ENSBA in Paris, majored in art history and oil painting.
00:12:35A young American, right?
00:12:37I can bring Mr. DeMore into it.
00:12:39But in exchange, you have to marry me.
00:12:44What?
00:12:46Do you really know him, or is this just another lie?
00:12:49He's somewhat of a mystery figure in the art world.
00:12:52Oh yeah, I met him when I was studying abroad in Europe.
00:12:56Given who I am, getting in touch with him was never an issue.
00:13:00Look, I need to think about this.
00:13:02With that expression, I'll take it we have a deal.
00:13:04You have 30 minutes.
00:13:26Okay, I'm in.
00:13:29But if we're going to do this, we have to set some rules.
00:13:34Turn around.
00:13:42Did it really take you that long to decide?
00:13:44What? We still have time.
00:13:46No, I mean, I guess people usually wait for me.
00:13:50Okay, like I said, if we're going to do this,
00:13:53we have to have some rules between us.
00:13:56Rule number one, we don't get involved in each other's lives.
00:14:01Sure.
00:14:02Rule number two, no developing feelings for each other.
00:14:06And we can't, you know,
00:14:12we can't have no sex.
00:14:16Wow, yeah, no problem.
00:14:19But we will need to act like you're my fiancé.
00:14:22So be staying at my place from now on.
00:14:24Moreover, I'll need to touch you.
00:14:28It's a necessary part of making this whole thing look real.
00:14:32Like this.
00:14:41I like this.
00:14:43I like this.
00:14:47I mean, people don't think that we're a couple.
00:14:52See that car across the street?
00:14:55Everyone in town is watching our every move.
00:15:02But we have to sleep in different beds.
00:15:06Deal.
00:15:12Deal.
00:15:26It's my honor to announce that I, Ethan Winston,
00:15:29am now engaged to Miss Maya Hart.
00:15:31Our wedding will take place in the near future.
00:15:37Wait here. I'll go get the car.
00:15:39Well, well, well.
00:15:41What do we have here?
00:15:43My old friend.
00:15:44Do you like the photos I took of you, Maya?
00:15:46Or should I call you future Mrs. Winston?
00:15:51You know what?
00:15:52I don't know what are you playing,
00:15:54but I'm sure when the truth's gonna come out,
00:15:57you're gonna be down.
00:15:58It's none of your business.
00:15:59I'm a professional, so your wedding will go smoothly,
00:16:01but then just get out of my sight.
00:16:03Look at you, acting all tough.
00:16:05Just being engaged just for a few days.
00:16:08Who knows how long you've been involved with him.
00:16:10You?
00:16:11You have no say here.
00:16:13Who was the one playing hide-and-seek in my house
00:16:15while I was on a work trip?
00:16:17I don't get it.
00:16:18Why would Ethan choose you?
00:16:20What trick did you play on him, huh?
00:16:22Oh, I see.
00:16:24You work hard for the money, or...
00:16:28How dare you!
00:16:29Stay away from my fiancée.
00:16:34Are you all right?
00:16:35She just slapped Tracy.
00:16:37I could call the police on her.
00:16:38I don't see anything wrong with Mrs. Winston
00:16:40defending herself on my property.
00:16:44Don't test my patience.
00:17:02Wow.
00:17:03You're really into art.
00:17:08Come in.
00:17:15Well, this is my room, but if the night is yours,
00:17:18just make yourself at home.
00:17:20And where will you be sleeping?
00:17:22Don't worry about me.
00:17:25Excuse me.
00:17:34Where's the girl?
00:17:36Wait.
00:17:39You must be Maya,
00:17:41my dear granddaughter-in-law.
00:17:54You must be Maya,
00:17:56my dear granddaughter-in-law.
00:18:00So, how are you feeling staying here?
00:18:03Is Ethan making you comfortable?
00:18:06Oh, yeah.
00:18:07We've known each other for so long,
00:18:09I know exactly what she wants.
00:18:12Oh, are you two going on a trip together?
00:18:16We just got back from a trip.
00:18:17We went to the beach.
00:18:19We went to the beach.
00:18:20Oh, you young people.
00:18:23I just can't figure you out on my old noggin.
00:18:28Oh, don't worry, Grandma.
00:18:29We made an official.
00:18:31We're engaged.
00:18:34Oh.
00:18:37It's getting late.
00:18:39Let me drive you home.
00:18:41Ah, who said I wanted to go?
00:18:44Well, you're not going to kick your old dear grandmother
00:18:48out in the middle of the night, are you?
00:18:51Let me show you to your room.
00:19:02Hey, I thought we agreed we weren't sharing a room.
00:19:06Well, it's a special circumstance.
00:19:11If we slip up tonight, this whole thing's over.
00:19:18What are you doing?
00:19:19Shh.
00:19:22Someone's outside.
00:19:30Hey.
00:19:31What?
00:19:33You have really beautiful eyes.
00:19:39Especially this close.
00:19:51You have really beautiful eyes.
00:19:56Especially this close.
00:19:59Ethan.
00:20:03Ah.
00:20:08Okay.
00:20:10She's gone.
00:20:18Hey, these are definitely in Noiria's style.
00:20:25What about those empty frames in the living room?
00:20:27Who are those?
00:20:28I...
00:20:30I think I know who you are.
00:20:40What about those empty frames in the living room?
00:20:42Who are those?
00:20:46I think I know who you are.
00:20:51Wait.
00:20:52It's not that I was trying to hide it from you.
00:20:54It's just...
00:20:55Just like me.
00:20:56You're a secret Noiria fan too.
00:20:59Like crazy about him.
00:21:02Yeah, I'm just a big fan.
00:21:04I really admire his work.
00:21:06There's no reason to hide.
00:21:08He's one of the most innovative artists in recent years.
00:21:11I love him too.
00:21:13What do you love most about him?
00:21:15He really inspires my wedding planning.
00:21:17I'd love to just capture the vibe and energy that he brings into my work.
00:21:23He's always been my favorite artist.
00:21:26Even though he's been missing for three years.
00:21:30Plus, I have to find him.
00:21:33My whole career depends on him.
00:21:39What's your story?
00:21:41Well...
00:21:43In my family there's a lot of pressure.
00:21:47Art...
00:21:49Art gives me peace.
00:21:52It's just too bad I don't have any real talent.
00:21:56You know, life...
00:21:58Things happen.
00:22:00Three years ago my dad passed away and well...
00:22:03I had to step up and run the Winston family empire.
00:22:08Oh, I'm sorry about your dad.
00:22:11But if art brings you peace, that's what matters.
00:22:16If you like it, you should just go for it.
00:22:19Hey...
00:22:20What?
00:22:22If you were here right now, standing right in front of you, just like we are...
00:22:30What would you say?
00:22:37If you were here right now, standing right in front of you, just like we are...
00:22:45What would you say?
00:22:47I'd tell him how much his work means to me.
00:22:51He's the artist I admire most.
00:23:03Okay, your turn.
00:23:05Why did you break up with Skylar, the famous dancer?
00:23:08How do you know about Skylar?
00:23:10I'm your fiancé.
00:23:12I should at least know a little bit.
00:23:14Well, the relationship, it just kind of ran its course.
00:23:17You know, just the usual stuff.
00:23:18Come on, that's not a good excuse.
00:23:21It's late. We need some rest.
00:23:30Good morning, lovebirds.
00:23:32Sleep well, Maya.
00:23:34If you need anything, just ask.
00:23:37Seriously, don't be shy.
00:23:39Good morning, Ada.
00:23:41Thank you so much.
00:23:43Sounds like you had a wonderful evening, Ethan.
00:23:49Um, good news.
00:23:51Warren is attending a gallery opening today.
00:23:54If you want to meet him, you can come with me.
00:23:56Really? You got in touch with him?
00:24:00Wait, I thought you stopped going to galleries three years ago.
00:24:08Wait, I thought you stopped going to galleries three years ago.
00:24:13Oh.
00:24:18Ethan's just helping me out.
00:24:20I'm hoping to collaborate with Noiré on this wedding.
00:24:22Why is she talking as if Ethan and Noiré are two different people and they can't talk here?
00:24:29This is another young people thing again.
00:24:32You have really beautiful eyes.
00:24:39Especially this close.
00:24:43Hey, our future Mrs. Winston.
00:24:47So what happened?
00:24:49Don't even tell me. I want to guess.
00:24:51Either you had a wild night, or the master isn't happy with your services.
00:24:57Don't even worry. It's totally okay.
00:25:00You're good.
00:25:02Because dating a heartthrob like Ethan, wow, you have a lot to learn.
00:25:07I don't want to scare you, but you have a lot of drama coming up.
00:25:10What drama?
00:25:11Oh my god.
00:25:13Wait, you don't know?
00:25:15Oh, okay.
00:25:18Ethan's girlfriend?
00:25:20No, you don't know.
00:25:22She's coming back to town.
00:25:24You know what? She's also going to that art show featuring Noiré.
00:25:27That's the one you've been looking for, right?
00:25:29Wow, it's so crazy I didn't tell you, but like, it's a good thing you have me as a friend, right?
00:25:33Because now you know.
00:25:35And like, wait until you see her because she is actually so gorgeous.
00:25:38Like, I wonder what her regimen is.
00:25:39Like, you know what?
00:25:41I bet she does like that apple cider vinegar stuff.
00:25:43You know what? I try...
00:25:47Yeah?
00:25:49Ethan, did you miss me?
00:26:07Hey, congratulations.
00:26:09You really nailed it out there.
00:26:13What's going on?
00:26:15We're done.
00:26:18What?
00:26:20My sponsor wants me.
00:26:22He's offering a lot more than some artist could ever get.
00:26:31Hello? I'm heading back home.
00:26:34Haven't seen you for a while.
00:26:36What do you want?
00:26:37Are you happy?
00:26:39Well, probably not as happy as you.
00:26:41How's the sponsor? Your career must just be really taken off, huh?
00:26:44Why are you coming back?
00:26:46Don't be so bitter.
00:26:48I was just doing what I needed to do for my dreams.
00:26:51Yeah, well I'm glad we went our separate ways then.
00:26:55Water under the fridge.
00:26:57Now I'm back.
00:26:59Heard you're engaged.
00:27:01Should I check in?
00:27:04No need. I'm picking up my fiancé.
00:27:07Okay.
00:27:21What are you doing here?
00:27:23Just, uh, making this whole thing a little more convincing.
00:27:28Okay, Maya. Don't be an idiot.
00:27:31You and Ethan, it's all fake, remember?
00:27:34Get in.
00:27:37Okay.
00:27:48Ethan?
00:27:50Yeah?
00:27:52Can you help me zip my dress?
00:28:08You look great.
00:28:19Ready?
00:28:21Fiancé?
00:28:33That's Ethan Winston!
00:28:35He's actually here!
00:28:37Oh my god, isn't that his fiancé?
00:28:43Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:28:45My name is Ethan Winston,
00:28:47and I am the investor and curator for tonight's event.
00:28:50Thank you all for coming.
00:28:52We have a very special evening,
00:28:54as we will be unveiling Maré's comeback work, so stay tuned.
00:28:58I hope you all enjoy all the art.
00:29:01Gotcha.
00:29:06Well, well, well.
00:29:08I did not expect Ethan drag you along here.
00:29:11Let me guess.
00:29:13You must want to meet your idol.
00:29:15Right, sweetheart?
00:29:17That's none of your business.
00:29:19Ah.
00:29:21Just so you know,
00:29:23Ethan's real love is his ex, Skylar, the dancer.
00:29:28She's the only one who owns his heart.
00:29:31And you,
00:29:32you're just a little placeholder.
00:29:34You would lose your job,
00:29:36you would lose your precious boyfriend,
00:29:39and you would be nothing.
00:29:42Mind your business, Miss Mistress.
00:29:45Shouldn't you be worrying about pleasure?
00:29:48Who is he playing hide-and-seek with right now?
00:30:02I wouldn't do that.
00:30:04I already did.
00:30:06Maya, another guy to save your serious, right?
00:30:10Ah!
00:30:16Hey!
00:30:19No more warnings, I told you that.
00:30:25Are you alright?
00:30:28She's alright, now.
00:30:30Chris?
00:30:32It's been a while, Maya.
00:30:35It's been a while.
00:30:37You should probably step away from my friend as well.
00:30:49Do you know who I am?
00:30:51Chris, why didn't you tell me you were back?
00:30:54Who's this?
00:30:56Oh, this is my childhood neighbor, Chris.
00:30:59We've known each other forever.
00:31:01He just got back from studying abroad.
00:31:03Just a neighbor, huh?
00:31:05You used to chase me around like a little soccer, didn't you?
00:31:08You used to say when you grew up, you'd marry me, remember?
00:31:13Maya, your neighbor has a really great sense of humor, doesn't he?
00:31:17Hey, neighbor, that's a really silly story from your childhood,
00:31:20but I'm her fiancé now, so, you know.
00:31:24Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
00:31:26and now please welcome our sponsor, Mr. Winston,
00:31:29the highlight of our exhibition.
00:31:31You should get a closer look at this.
00:31:44It's my honor to unveil this for all of you tonight.
00:31:47This painting is done by an artist
00:31:49who has been in seclusion for the last three years.
00:31:52Well, this is his declaration of return.
00:31:55I present to you all...
00:32:00Rebirth.
00:32:08This artist is none other than Noiré.
00:32:12He's also mentioned that he will be collaborating
00:32:14with another designer who he admires very much.
00:32:17This will also be given to a beautiful woman here tonight.
00:32:22And she is...
00:32:30Is that Skyler?
00:32:32Skyler the dancer?
00:32:34She's Ethan's ex. No wonder he threw this whole exhibition.
00:32:37Look at her dress.
00:32:39That painting was definitely made for her.
00:32:41How romantic.
00:32:44It's been ages.
00:32:46You can't even fix your tie without me.
00:32:55What are you doing here?
00:32:56Isn't it normal for dancers to get inspired by art exhibitions?
00:33:00Do you remember that time that we...
00:33:02That's enough.
00:33:08We are over.
00:33:10Stay with me.
00:33:12Don't lie to yourself, Ethan. I know you.
00:33:14I am engaged and you know that.
00:33:17She's just a plain girl.
00:33:19You'll need me, Ethan.
00:33:21We were meant to be together. We always were.
00:33:27I'm not sure what's going on here.
00:33:30That doesn't seem right.
00:33:32It's fine, Chris.
00:33:34He's just living his life.
00:33:36This is part of our marital agreement.
00:33:39Maya, no matter what happens,
00:33:41you can always talk to me.
00:33:43Maya, look, this isn't what you think. I was just...
00:33:46I get it.
00:33:48We were busy.
00:33:53I get it.
00:33:54I get it.
00:33:56You were busy.
00:33:59Shall I take you home, Maya?
00:34:02No.
00:34:04Neighbor, there's no need.
00:34:06Okay, she's my fiancé. I'll take care of her. Thanks.
00:34:08And what about your dancer ex-girlfriend, fiancé?
00:34:11Maya deserves someone better than a half-hearted playboy.
00:34:14Look, Maya isn't an errand girl for a playboy like you.
00:34:18Treat her right.
00:34:20She has a better place to be.
00:34:22My number hasn't changed, Maya.
00:34:24Call me anytime you need me.
00:34:30Hello, darling.
00:34:32I know we haven't met yet,
00:34:34but I know for sure that's what shared a common interest here.
00:34:51Hey, big-time planner.
00:34:52Your RA asked me to give this to you.
00:35:03This means a lot.
00:35:05About tonight, it...
00:35:07Look, it shouldn't be like this.
00:35:10You know, I've held up my end of the bargain, and I really think...
00:35:14What?
00:35:16I think you should do your part, too.
00:35:18In public, I mean.
00:35:19I mean...
00:35:21You shouldn't be getting that close to other men.
00:35:23Chris, the neighbor boy, huh?
00:35:26Wait a minute.
00:35:28This is just an act, remember?
00:35:30We said we wouldn't interfere with each other.
00:35:32All I'm saying is, in the eyes of the public,
00:35:34this could look bad for us.
00:35:36Bad for us?
00:35:38Oh, come on.
00:35:40Even I can feel the chemistry between you and your ex-girlfriend from 50 yards away.
00:35:43No, it's not what you think.
00:35:45No, I know! It's not what I think. I'm not Skyler.
00:35:47She's beautiful and famous, and you have history.
00:35:50She's everything I'm not.
00:35:52Of course you'd choose her.
00:35:54Oh, wait. Why should I be surprised to know this is the first time this has happened?
00:35:57Look, I'm not the playboy that Chris says I am, okay?
00:35:59And I'm certainly not doing what your ex-boyfriend, Parker, is doing.
00:36:02I chose you.
00:36:04I feel it, and it's getting stronger every day.
00:36:06So don't make assumptions about me.
00:36:08Oh, really? So what, am I just making it up, then?
00:36:10Well, maybe we should stop the show and let the truth come out.
00:36:16No one touches my fiancée.
00:36:46Did I go too far?
00:36:52Did I go too far?
00:36:57Breaking news. Young CEO holds art exhibit for ex-girlfriend,
00:37:01the famous dancer Skyler, and spends big on her paintings.
00:37:06Rumors of reconciliation.
00:37:08Fiancée may be left in the dust.
00:37:10Fiancée may be left in the dust.
00:37:18Can we talk, please?
00:37:20If you want to call off the wedding, you can do it anytime.
00:37:29So your engagement's not real. It's just a deal?
00:37:33Technically, yes.
00:37:34Hey, no matter how you look at it, he's complicated.
00:37:38As a heir to a big family, your feelings will never be his top priority.
00:37:41You can't rely on these types of love and relationships.
00:37:44Too many things get in the way in their life.
00:37:46I know, but Chris...
00:37:48Also, his past, and maybe even present with Skyler?
00:37:51The right man would never leave you in tears.
00:37:54You know that.
00:37:56You deserve better.
00:37:58Thank you, Chris.
00:38:00I get it, but he's already done so much for me.
00:38:02A deal's a deal, and I agreed to it.
00:38:04I have to do my part.
00:38:06Even if it's just a fake engagement.
00:38:08Besides, all we really have to do is pretend to be a couple in public.
00:38:21Ethan, we need to talk.
00:38:33Skyler?
00:38:35What are you doing here?
00:38:37You never changed the locks.
00:38:39Don't you want to know why I'm back?
00:38:41Not really.
00:38:49What happened?
00:38:51An accident. I got hurt.
00:38:53I'm sorry.
00:38:55I'm sorry.
00:38:57I'm sorry.
00:38:59I'm sorry.
00:39:00An accident. I got hurt.
00:39:05I can't dance again.
00:39:07My career is over, Ethan.
00:39:15I know I messed up in the past, but I never ever stopped loving you.
00:39:20The past is in the past.
00:39:22Let's move forward.
00:39:25I'm sorry, Ethan.
00:39:28I'm sorry.
00:39:30I shouldn't be here.
00:39:32Sorry for interrupting something important.
00:39:34Maya, wait!
00:39:36Let her go.
00:39:38What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:39:44Ethan, this isn't like you.
00:39:46I know this engagement is fake.
00:39:48Whether it's real or fake is none of your concern.
00:39:52Maya!
00:40:01Hi, Tracey. It's me.
00:40:04I'm in.
00:40:07Let's do this.
00:40:12Breaking news. Heir of the Winston family, Ethan,
00:40:15has reconciled with his ex-girlfriend, Skylar.
00:40:18The chief dancer of a dance troupe
00:40:20seemed to hint at her indifference
00:40:22towards the engagement talk.
00:40:24She rarely mentions Ethan.
00:40:30Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
00:40:32Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
00:40:35Brim?
00:40:37I want you to bring Maya tomorrow.
00:40:39I have a few things I want to discuss with you.
00:40:55No way! Really?
00:40:57That is exactly what happened when we went to Europe.
00:41:01Oh, Ethan.
00:41:03You're here.
00:41:05Look who's back.
00:41:09Skylar, what are you doing here?
00:41:11It's Grandmother's birthday.
00:41:13You know, she's always been a grandmother to me.
00:41:16I heard about her health scare
00:41:18and I wanted to come by and check on her.
00:41:20That's okay, right?
00:41:22Happy birthday, Grandma.
00:41:24Thank you, darling.
00:41:26Having someone who loves you and gets you,
00:41:27looking after you for the rest of your life
00:41:30is the best birthday present I could have.
00:41:36You know I'm the one that's meant for you.
00:41:48I knew you'd come.
00:41:50Don't get the wrong idea.
00:41:52I didn't come for you.
00:41:57At least I kept my word.
00:42:04Happy birthday, Ada.
00:42:06Thank you, darling.
00:42:08You look stunning.
00:42:11You're always so glamorous, Ada.
00:42:13And you shine the most.
00:42:15Oh.
00:42:28Everyone, if I may, a toast.
00:42:33It's Ada's birthday
00:42:35and not only is she the pillar of the Winston family,
00:42:37but she is a loving grandmother
00:42:39and the most remarkable woman.
00:42:41She always puts her family first
00:42:44and is a great support to us all.
00:42:47There's also a couple with us today.
00:42:50And if Ethan's happiness is always what Ada wanted,
00:42:54then this is truly a double blessing.
00:42:58Cheers!
00:43:07We need to talk.
00:43:10There's nothing to talk about.
00:43:14Oh my god, I am so sorry.
00:43:18Let me help you with that.
00:43:20No, it's fine.
00:43:22I'll do it myself.
00:43:24No.
00:43:43Ada looks great tonight, doesn't she?
00:43:47What do you want, Skylar?
00:43:49She still doesn't get it.
00:43:50Our relationship ended three years ago.
00:43:53Can I remind you that you're the one who broke it off?
00:43:56Oh, come on.
00:43:58Is this about Maya?
00:44:00Your fake fiancé?
00:44:02Are you really falling for her?
00:44:04Yes, okay?
00:44:06Yes, and for the hundredth time, we are over.
00:44:08Okay, Maya's the only one I want.
00:44:13Maya.
00:44:15Maya.
00:44:20Maya.
00:44:22No.
00:44:48How much did you have to drink?
00:44:52You didn't even realize what you just did?
00:44:57I kissed my fiancé.
00:44:59What's wrong with that?
00:45:04Does kissing your fiancé always require getting drunk?
00:45:10I hate him!
00:45:12He plays with my heart.
00:45:14I don't think it's hate.
00:45:21I really don't.
00:45:51Okay.
00:46:11We'll talk tomorrow, okay?
00:46:14Lie down for a bit.
00:46:16I'm going to go say goodbye to Grandma and we'll head home.
00:46:21Okay.
00:46:30Grandma, I'm sorry I didn't get to spend more time with you,
00:46:33but I have to take Maya home now.
00:46:36This does not look like the Ethan I know.
00:46:42There's some people causing trouble, but don't worry, I'll handle it.
00:46:46I don't know what's going on between you and Maya,
00:46:47but remember, you don't hurt people you love.
00:46:52I know, Grandma.
00:46:55I believe you'll make the right choice.
00:47:00I will.
00:47:04Alright, Maya, let's go home.
00:47:07Maya?
00:47:09Maya!
00:47:18Oh, it's been ages.
00:47:20You can't even fix your tie without me.
00:47:44Nice body.
00:47:46Nice body.
00:47:48Even with the coat hiding it, huh?
00:47:52This is what happens when you get too close to me.
00:48:05Are you okay?
00:48:08Watch out!
00:48:11Maya!
00:48:16Maya!
00:48:17Help! Someone help!
00:48:22Come on, easy.
00:48:37How are you feeling?
00:48:39Is it painful?
00:48:42The doctor says I'll be fine.
00:48:45Have you had any issues with anyone recently?
00:48:47I mean, any idea who might have done this?
00:48:50The only issue I've had is with your jealous ex-girlfriend and my cheating lying client.
00:48:57Well, once you get better, I don't want you going out alone.
00:49:01Okay, even if it's just to meet up with Chris.
00:49:04Didn't we say we wouldn't get involved in each other's lives?
00:49:07This feels a lot like restriction to me.
00:49:10Yeah, I know.
00:49:12Okay, but special times require special measures.
00:49:15I just want you to be with me and be safe, that's all.
00:49:18Oh, really?
00:49:20Because if I remember correctly, the entire reason I'm lying here is because I got too close to you.
00:49:42God, I...
00:49:46Maya, Maya.
00:49:48The girl who survives it all.
00:49:51Why do you get everything you want?
00:50:00Maya, Maya. It's always Maya!
00:50:03Smarter, more successful.
00:50:06Island Parker, but somehow she gets Ethan.
00:50:09Skylar's supposed to break them up, but well...
00:50:12I'm at a wrong move here.
00:50:15Skylar!
00:50:21Skylar!
00:50:23It's all taken care of.
00:50:25Our partnership is still on.
00:50:41Mr. Noiré, this is Maya.
00:50:43Thank you so much for helping out.
00:50:46It's an honor to collaborate with you.
00:50:48I've been a loyal fan of yours for years.
00:50:51I would love to have your insight into a couple of things.
00:50:54Hope that's okay.
00:50:56To you, what is love?
00:50:58What does it mean to you?
00:51:01Hi, Maya.
00:51:03Tell me, what is love to you?
00:51:06To be honest, I'm a little confused about it right now.
00:51:09If two people are together as an act at the beginning,
00:51:13would it turn into real feelings along the way?
00:51:16Also, how do I know what my true feelings are?
00:51:40So, have you thought it through?
00:51:43I'm the right one for you, Ethan.
00:51:46You know that.
00:51:49Explain yourself.
00:51:51I don't know what you're talking about.
00:51:54I'm gonna let it slide this time, but stay away from Maya.
00:52:09Maya?
00:52:26Hey, you're up.
00:52:28Are you feeling better?
00:52:30Yeah.
00:52:32You were in a hurry. Where'd you go?
00:52:35I had to go to the office.
00:52:36Something urgent came up and it needed to be handled.
00:52:41Liar.
00:52:44I see.
00:52:46With everything that happened, you must be so busy.
00:52:49No, it's fine. Ada's been helping, so...
00:52:55Are you sure you're alright?
00:52:58I'm fine.
00:53:00I'm just tired of living in lies.
00:53:01What if I just happen to know this Mr. Moore?
00:53:04He's a big fan. I really admire his work.
00:53:10This means a lot.
00:53:13Look, Maya, there's some things that I need to tell you.
00:53:18Hello?
00:53:26This guy was in trouble.
00:53:28This guy was in trouble.
00:53:42Wake up.
00:53:44Your relationship with him is just business.
00:53:49Noire helped me.
00:53:51A nobody wedding planner.
00:53:53Should I meet him in person and thank him?
00:53:57No.
00:54:15Ah, hi.
00:54:17Did Ethan bring you?
00:54:19Hi, Ada.
00:54:21Actually, I came by myself.
00:54:23Is Mr. Noire here?
00:54:25Okay.
00:54:27I guess she'll just keep addressing him as Noire when he's the artist.
00:54:32Cute.
00:54:34I see.
00:54:42He hasn't arrived yet.
00:54:45You can wait here.
00:54:54Okay.
00:55:12Oh my God.
00:55:24Maya?
00:55:28Oh my God.
00:55:30Oh my God.
00:55:32I thought you left, thank God.
00:55:34Who am I talking to now?
00:55:37Is it the CEO of the Winston family?
00:55:40Or the mysterious artist, Noire?
00:55:42Just listen.
00:55:44You dragged me into this mess and you've been lying to me the entire time.
00:55:47I wanted to tell you the truth. I just...
00:55:49Maya, I never found the right time.
00:55:51We've been together for so long and you never told me the truth about any of it.
00:55:52Maya, I wanted to.
00:55:54Okay, but I was...
00:55:56I was afraid if I told you, you might...
00:55:58Oh, I'm leaving.
00:56:00But tell me.
00:56:02What was I to you?
00:56:04Just a tool for drama?
00:56:06Or some toy for you to play with?
00:56:15What else have you been hiding from me?
00:56:18Nothing. I have nothing else to hide.
00:56:20Just like a liar would say.
00:56:22Let me explain.
00:56:24Explain?
00:56:26Explain this!
00:56:36This is all a misunderstanding.
00:56:38Maya, I can explain.
00:56:40Sebastian figured everything out.
00:56:42The photos, the attack, it was all Skylar.
00:56:44Okay, but Tracy, she was the mastermind.
00:56:46She set this whole thing up.
00:56:48Tracy?
00:56:50What are you going to do about it?
00:56:52Skylar?
00:56:54She was just clouded by jealousy.
00:56:56Don't get me wrong, she's still at fault here,
00:56:58but she's not the bigger issue.
00:57:00What?
00:57:02This might not mean much to you,
00:57:04but it turned my entire life upside down.
00:57:06Why are you still defending her?
00:57:08That's it.
00:57:11You and I,
00:57:13we're from different worlds.
00:57:15You don't even see me as an equal.
00:57:18No more deals.
00:57:20It's over.
00:57:22Maya, wait.
00:57:24We can talk this through, okay?
00:57:26Think about Ada.
00:57:28This will break her heart.
00:57:30What about me?
00:57:32What about my heart?
00:57:34Dude, wait!
00:57:53It's all my fault.
00:57:55I should have told her earlier.
00:58:00Listen, kid.
00:58:02I was young once, too.
00:58:04We all make mistakes.
00:58:06But true love is priceless.
00:58:09Don't let it slip away.
00:58:11Yeah, well,
00:58:13it's too late now.
00:58:16It's too late.
00:58:18I'm sorry.
00:58:19It's too late now.
00:58:22You don't know that.
00:58:42Follow your heart.
00:58:50Grandma?
00:58:52Yeah, I need your help.
00:59:03Ada?
00:59:07What's going on?
00:59:19Maya?
00:59:25Maya Hart?
00:59:27Are you...
00:59:32Kenny?
00:59:46Crazy.
00:59:47Exact copy.
00:59:49Plagiarism?
00:59:50What were you thinking?
00:59:52Do you have any idea what this means?
00:59:55Who did I plagiarize?
00:59:57Looks like someone forgot where they really came from.
01:00:01I thought you really fell in love with Ray,
01:00:03but it turned out that you still relied on someone else's content.
01:00:07That's impossible.
01:00:08Ray and I worked on this together.
01:00:10Enough.
01:00:11Your counterfeit has caused major damage to Tracy and her client,
01:00:15and it could bring shame to the entire cloud company.
01:00:20Our whole company is going down because of this,
01:00:22and you're going to pay the price.
01:00:23Nori and I did work on this together.
01:00:25I can prove it.
01:00:33Prove how?
01:00:35Nobody even knows who Ray is.
01:00:38And you just found him?
01:00:41Let's find out who's been impersonating me.
01:00:45Oh, Mr. Winston.
01:00:48What brings you here in person?
01:00:50You could have just called.
01:00:52When it comes to my fiancée,
01:00:54I'd rather handle things face-to-face.
01:00:56Got it, Mr. Winston.
01:00:58You two are very close.
01:01:00But, all due respect,
01:01:02Tracy and I have been working on this for a long time.
01:01:05I'm sorry.
01:01:06I'm sorry.
01:01:07I'm sorry.
01:01:08I'm sorry.
01:01:09I'm sorry.
01:01:10I'm sorry.
01:01:11I'm sorry.
01:01:12I'm sorry.
01:01:13But, all due respect,
01:01:15plagiarism is a big deal
01:01:17and it could send us into bankruptcy.
01:01:19Who said I'm here as the Winston's heir?
01:01:21I'm here as the artist,
01:01:23Nori.
01:01:26You?
01:01:27No way.
01:01:28You're just a rich playboy
01:01:30pretending to be a global artist.
01:01:32Come on.
01:01:33I might also say that I'm a bank sweep.
01:01:36Surprise!
01:01:37It's hard to believe.
01:01:38No offense, but do you have any proof?
01:01:41Who are you to question me,
01:01:42Ms. Plath, being from a second-tier family?
01:01:56How's that bank sweep?
01:01:58Why don't you have those authentic?
01:02:00I've also included some wedding design drafts.
01:02:03Collaborations with Maya.
01:02:05Done under my alias, Moray.
01:02:08As for your evidence,
01:02:10I am much more interested
01:02:12in whether or not someone's been pretending
01:02:14to be a global artist
01:02:16than to be a bank sweep.
01:02:18I'm sorry.
01:02:19I'm sorry.
01:02:20I'm sorry.
01:02:21I'm sorry.
01:02:22I'm sorry.
01:02:23I'm sorry.
01:02:24I'm sorry.
01:02:25I'm interested in whether or not
01:02:26someone's been pretending to be me.
01:02:33Now, I suggest you apologize
01:02:36to Ms. Hart.
01:02:37If that gets back to the Black family,
01:02:39well, your position as the eldest daughter
01:02:42might be in jeopardy.
01:02:45Sorry.
01:02:47I always knew Maya was
01:02:48an amazing wedding planner.
01:02:51The designs you've been working on together
01:02:52are nothing short of masterpieces.
01:02:56Sorry I'm late.
01:02:58No.
01:02:59Perfect timing.
01:03:10Where are you?
01:03:11We agreed we'd make it up to Ada
01:03:12for her birthday
01:03:13and we're already running late.
01:03:16Just go in first.
01:03:18I'll be there in a minute.
01:03:26Maya.
01:03:32What is all this?
01:03:34Well, now we have witnesses.
01:03:44Maya,
01:03:45I know I crossed the line,
01:03:47but I couldn't help falling for you.
01:03:50I'm sorry that all this mess
01:03:52has hurt you.
01:03:54But I love you, Maya.
01:03:56From the bottom of my heart, I do.
01:03:59So, Maya, will you give me another chance?
01:04:07Maya Hart,
01:04:09will you marry me?
01:04:14Yes!
01:04:15Yes, I will!
01:04:23Yes!
01:04:53Yes!
01:05:14Skylar,
01:05:18we're doing just fine without you.
01:05:21We need to talk.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:37So how long are you going to keep up this act?
01:05:40What act?
01:05:41I know everything.
01:05:42You two are just in a contract marriage.
01:05:45If the scandal gets out,
01:05:46you wouldn't want to hurt Ethan, would you?
01:05:49Walk away from him.
01:05:51Then the game is over.
01:05:54Wait, what is that?
01:05:59Yes.
01:06:00You made it real.
01:06:02No.
01:06:03That, that can't be.
01:06:04That ring is supposed to be mine.
01:06:08It's Ethan.
01:06:09I gotta go.
01:06:12Maya!
01:06:13I need to tell you something.
01:06:14Maya!
01:06:15I need to tell you something.
01:06:33Go to hell, Maya!
01:06:45Papa!
01:06:49Maya?
01:06:50Ethan!
01:06:55Maya?
01:07:10Here.
01:07:14Really?
01:07:15I'm fine.
01:07:16It's nothing.
01:07:18I can't believe we're making a big deal out of this little thing.
01:07:21Being pregnant is a big deal, Maya.
01:07:24From now on, you probably shouldn't take any risks.
01:07:27Tell me everything, okay?
01:07:31You and our baby are the most important things in my life now.
01:07:44Where are you taking me?
01:07:46I have a surprise for you.
01:07:49Watch your step, come on.
01:07:53A little farther.
01:07:54A little more farther.
01:07:57And...
01:08:14Baby, there's so much we can be.
01:08:20Just wait and see.
01:08:22The future is bright.
01:08:31It's all yours.
01:08:32The story has just begun.
01:08:39The story has just begun.
01:08:45Congrats, my dear.
01:08:48What kind of unimaginative person gives up company for a wedding gift?
01:08:55I thought he was an artist.
01:08:57Congrats.
01:08:59I'm glad you two found each other.
01:09:01This is the painting you were working on that day.
01:09:04Yeah.
01:09:06It's amazing what we can make come true.
01:09:14The future is bright.
01:09:17The story has just begun.
