00:00Open the door! Open now!
00:02Covering Emma's mouth, the stranger whispered into her ear.
00:05Stay quiet. If you say a word, I could lose my life.
00:09They're gone. You saved my life.
00:12Next morning, Emma woke up with sudden realization.
00:15Emma didn't have the courage to face the stranger from last night.
00:18She took her clothes and ran away from the scene.
00:21Later, Stephanie entered the same hotel room.
00:24Emma doesn't know that we've been tracking her location this whole time.
00:29She looked at the bed and smiled cunningly.
00:32Her evil mind started planning something devious.
00:36I knew Emma wasn't as innocent as she pretends to be.
00:40Suddenly, there was an unexpected knock on the door.
00:43A stern young man stood at the door.
00:45My boss wants to thank you for saving his life.
00:47As Stephanie looked at the business card, she couldn't believe her eyes.
00:51How was this possible? How could Emma attract a man like this?
00:55Who's your boss?
00:57William Anderson.
00:58What?
00:59William Anderson.
01:05The man was William Anderson.
01:08The most powerful man in Los Angeles.
01:11Five years later, Emma is back in the city to find answers about her past.
01:16She is now a mother to five-year-old twins.
01:19A result of her work with the stranger.
01:22While Stephanie has stolen Emma's dream and become the biggest star of Hollywood.
01:28What Emma doesn't know yet is that Stephanie stole a lot more than just her dream of becoming a star.
01:35Stephanie, what are you doing here?
01:36You know better than to show up at my office like this.
01:39Stephanie is standing in front of the biggest producer of Hollywood, William Anderson.
01:44William is annoyed with her persistent advances.
01:47He has already given her a career.
01:49I have back-to-back meetings all day.
01:51As I've told you before, I have business to do.
01:54Stephanie, don't make me repeat myself. It's pathetic.
01:57Stephanie has been pursuing William for five years.
02:00But somehow, William always finds a way to push her away.
02:06It's alright. I'm not going to disturb you with your work any longer.
02:11After all, it's my birthday, so I'm super busy. I have so many plans today.
02:16I might even have a date after my party later.
02:19He didn't even wish her a happy birthday.
02:22On the other side of L.A., Emma and her twins finally found solace and warmth in Aunt Marie's house.
02:31Mommy has some important errands to run tonight.
02:34Now that Emma is back in L.A., the first thing she wants to do is to get her mother's belongings from the family house.
02:42Drive safely.
02:47As Emma reaches the house where she grew up, Emma could not believe her eyes.
02:52It seemed like the Miller house was the new entertainment destination.
03:06Go grab a tray and pass out the champagne.
03:08Oh, I'm not here to work as a waiter. I'm here to speak with my…
03:11Typical millennials. Never want to work.
03:13You know what? You're fired.
03:17Welcome back to Hollywood.
03:24As Emma reflects on her past and the pain of being ostracized by her family resurfaces,
03:30soon after she went abroad, all financial help she was getting was distorted.
03:47I asked him, but he said he has to work. He's so busy.
03:59How did she climb such a rank so quickly? What is she hiding?
04:08Hey, Stephanie! You look gorgeous!
04:12Hey, Stephanie! You look gorgeous!
04:16Thank you. Thank you.
04:22What is she doing here? And tonight of all nights? I swear she wants to ruin my life.
04:27I don't know, Stephanie, but we must handle this carefully.
04:30Emma and Stephanie finally meet, Stephanie's shrewd eyes gazing at Emma.
04:36Where are my mother's things?
04:41You guys go on and have fun. I have some family matters to attend to.
04:46I'll catch up with you later.
04:48Follow me.
04:52How dare you come back? I thought I made it perfectly clear that no one wants you here.
04:57My mother left me some things. I just want them back.
05:00As soon as we give them to you, I will leave right away.
05:02You want your mother's things?
05:04Fine.
05:05Follow me. We're going to have a little chat.
05:12The tension between the stepsisters escalates after conflicting emotions and resentments of the past come to the forefront.
05:23Wow, Emma. You really know how to pick your time, don't you?
05:27I mean, don't you know that today is my birthday? Look at how many famous people are here to celebrate me.
05:33And then you show up, dressed like that.
05:37I mean, you can't have people thinking that my stepsister was a waitress.
05:41It's like you have no regard for my reputation. You're so embarrassing.
05:45Stephanie, trust me. All I want is my mother's things.
05:49And I promise when you give them to me, she'll never sit in front of me again.
05:53You're here because you're jealous of my success.
05:56I mean, you can't accept the fact that I made something of my life.
06:00Don't always play the victim. It's pathetic.
06:02Pathetic? What's pathetic is the fact that, despite me knowing your devious ways, I thought that maybe I could see you in a better light.
06:11It's so clear that you were the one who orchestrated the downfall of my career.
06:18And I have no doubt that it was you who spiked my drink that night.
06:24Led to an unpredicted encounter with a stranger and an unpredicted pregnancy.
06:28You and your actions are pathetic.
06:33You're making up stories, Emma. Besides, you can't prove any of that.
06:38You're just bitter because your life fell apart.
06:40Bitter? You are the reason my life fell apart.
06:43You couldn't stand that I had a successful career.
06:46And you did everything in your power to destroy it.
06:49Listen, Stephanie.
06:52I am here because I am owed something and I am not leaving until you give it to me.
06:58Oh, Emma, are you that oblivious?
07:00Do you honestly think that I have time to go around and hunt for some old hand-me-downs, which I don't even know where I stashed them?
07:06It's my birthday bash. I mean, I have Oscar winners on my guest list for crying out loud.
07:12Yeah, yeah.
07:14Now who's sounding jealous?
07:16Listen, Stephanie, I am not trying to make a scene in front of your high-class guests.
07:22Now, all I'm asking is for you to give me my mother's things and I will leave without hesitation.
07:28Okay, listen, can you do something for me?
07:30I'm a little nervous.
07:32I don't know what to do.
07:33I don't know what to do.
07:34I don't know what to do.
07:35I don't know what to do.
07:36I don't know what to do.
07:37I don't know what to do.
07:38I don't know what to do.
07:39I don't know what to do.
07:40I don't know what to do.
07:41Can you do something for me?
07:42I'm a little preoccupied right now.
07:44Can you just come back in a couple of days to get your things?
07:46What is wrong with you?
07:48I'm not here to play games.
07:49Unlike you, I don't have any hidden agendas.
07:51And, trust me, I do not want to set foot in this place ever again.
07:58He's here.
08:12Who are you talking about?
08:14None of your business.
08:15You know what, listen, you're right.
08:17I've been lying to you this whole time.
08:19I know exactly where your mother's things are.
08:21And if you don't leave right now, I promise you, I will burn them.
08:26How dare you?
08:27Those are the only things I've left of her.
08:29I don't understand why you have this much hate for me.
08:32We're supposed to be sisters, for God's sake.
08:35We're not family.
08:38We're not family.
08:42I guess it's about time you find out your father's dirty little secret.
08:46One night, he got drunk and he told my mom that you're not even his biological daughter.
08:52That's right.
08:54I guess your sweet mother wasn't as innocent as she pretended to be.
08:57Stop it. Stop. You're insane.
09:00What's wrong?
09:01I thought you of all people appreciated hearing the truth.
09:05Should I go on? Can I share more?
09:07Other than that, he also told my mother that...
09:10Leave her alone.
09:12Emma turns around to see who spoke up for her and is absolutely shocked to see the man in front of her.
09:19Suddenly, the memories of that fateful night five years back flashed in front of her eyes.
09:25It can't be him.
09:26Emma is finally face to face.
09:28Will she be able to reunite her children with their father?
09:32How will Emma take revenge from Stephanie for destroying her life and her dreams?
