Original subtitles

I'm making you vice president of our company.

You mean it, Dad?

Keep your eyes on everyone in the Chokprasertsap family.

That's your old family name, isn't it?

These are the names of the suspects and several persons of interest.

And if what you're thinking turns out to be true,

what will you do?

Then it'll be to the death.

He can hurt me and I'll take it.

But when he hurts you, the person I love most,

I can't forgive that.

Boss.

Tawan.

You're here early. Have you eaten yet?

Why come here and ruin the mood?

Hey.

- Hey! - Tawan!

How dare you slap my son!

Then ask your son first

how he could do such an evil thing.

What are you talking about?

Mr. Mekha, please come with us to the station to give a statement.

Hold on, officer.

What has my son done that you're taking him in?

Tawan, why did you call the police?

What lies are you feeding them about me?

Your subordinate, Mr. Thawat, has confessed.

He testified that you ordered him

to abduct Ms. Ayla, daughter of Mr. Thana,

to force Mr. Thana to withdraw from the bidding.

And in the incident, one of Mr. Thana's hired bodyguards was killed.

But I didn't order that.

Dad, you've got to believe me.

Thawat acted on his own.

I know nothing about it.

I'm not involved in any of it!

Dad…

Mom… Please help me, Mom.

Of course, I'll help you. Calm down. They're framing you.

That bitch is framing you!

You've got to help our son.

Please come with us.

Mom! Mom, help me!

I didn't do it, officer!

Let me go! I'm innocent!

- Mom! Mom! - Mek!

- You have to help him! - Mom!

- You have to! - Let me go!

He didn't do anything wrong!

Don't just believe one side of the story.

You have to help him!

Mek, my son! Mek!

Mek!

That girl… She's safe, isn't she?

Ayla's safe.

Good…

That's good.

Hey!

How could you just stand there and do nothing?

How could you let them drag our son away like that?

The police have the evidence.

Are you going to say our son's innocent?

Stop spoiling him the wrong way.

Spoiling him?

You're saying I'm the one spoiling him?

You've never once

taken his side!

Everything Mek does, to you, is wrong, bad, worthless.

Nothing he does is ever good enough for you.

The only one who pleases you…

is that mistress's daughter. Everything she does is perfect in your eyes!

That's why, isn't it?

That's why you're letting our son rot in jail!

Listen to me. I've never played favorites.

I love both my children the same.

You're the one who hates Tawan.

And you poisoned Mek into hating her too.

In the end, they could never live under the same roof.

So, this is my fault?

You destroyed their bond.

The elder hates the younger.

The younger rejects the elder.

How fortunate

you haven't turned Mek against me as well.

I'll tell you this.

If Mek ends up in prison,

both he and I will hate you for the rest of our lives.

Couldn't sleep?

Because of your father?

This is the first time

I've seen his tears.

I understand.

I don't know

how much this will break him.

Mek's case

could shake the board of directors,

destroy the company's credibility.

If Dad can't fix this problem,

then there might not be a T.S. Construction anymore.

Mr. Mek's case looks grim.

The evidence is solid.

Multiple money transfer slips from him to the suspect,

especially on the day of the abduction.

The total is in the millions.

Can we at least apply for bail?

It's going to be very difficult.

Draft the termination papers for the latest project.

If we cancel, the penalty fees will be enormous.

No matter how much it costs, we'll pay.

Boss,

intel says T.S. Construction

has pulled out of their latest project.

I think your father must've thought it through

before deciding that.

T.S. CONSTRUCTION SECRETARY

Hello?

Hello, Ms. Tawan.

Hello.

Let me get straight to the point.

Ever since the incident with Mr. Mek,

Mr. Songklod hasn't been functioning at all.

No partner meetings, no signing papers,

no site visits.

We don't know what to do anymore.

Ms. Duangnet stepped in to handle things,

but honestly, it's only gotten worse.

You had time to come see me today, huh?

What about you, Dad?

Not going in to work?

All I ever wanted was to build this company

into the biggest in ASEAN,

for the future of both Mek and you.

Sometimes I wonder…

All this ambition,

all this fighting…

What's it really worth?

The wealth, the assets,

traded for family,

for friendships lost.

Was it worth it?

If I came to help at the company,

would you teach me the ropes?

Don't waste your time on a company that's already on the brink of collapse.

I'd like you two

to design the third floor so it goes with the rest of the building.

Please help look into this.

And you, please help on the swimming pool design.

Please help handle this.

I'll help the company.

This here is our latest quarter report.

We're down 11.1%.

As for the industry outlook…

We were just discussing the latest VIP client, Boss.

This project is a 45-story residential tower.

The current design is twin towers.

If we can build new investor confidence,

we'll stand a chance at winning government bids.

That could restore the company's liquidity.

I agree.

I agree as well.

Yes?

Hello, Tawan.

On your way home yet? I'm about to sleep.

Not yet. Still working.

What, still not done?

Have you even eaten?

I had a sandwich.

Just trying to clear this backlog.

Might be a late night.

First day and already working hard, Ms. CEO.

What about you? How was your day?

Tired?

Not at all. At this level, it's a breeze.

You're not upset with me, right?

For not picking you up?

Not at all. I understand

why you're doing this.

I won't sulk. I'm grown up now.

My girlfriend is the sweetest.

Then I won't bother you anymore.

Get back to work.

Goodnight,

my love.

Goodnight.

Love you most.

Mr. Thana, I sincerely apologize

for the awful things my brother did to you

and Ayla.

The matter's now

in the hands of the law.

And where's Songklod hiding?

Why are you apologizing for him?

Make him kneel before me!

What kind of man raises a son that vile?

I'm speaking on behalf of my father and our family.

But I assure you,

he had no knowledge

or involvement in what my brother did.

And how can you be so sure

he wasn't involved?

If he had been,

he wouldn't have canceled our latest project contract,

costing the company tens of millions.

He feels devastated by what happened.

Even the company he built with his own hands,

he was willing to let it collapse.

What is it you really want from me?

I know I can't ask you

to forgive my father.

But I stand by what I said before.

I will take care of Ayla and protect her for the rest of my life.

I only hope my sincerity and my life itself

might at least begin to make amends for the failures

of the Chokprasertsap family.

Songklod is lucky

to have you as his daughter.

I'm so glad

that this time, Dad has forgiven your father too.

They must know each other well enough.

So Mr. Thana believes my father truly had no part in it.

The two of them…

They were best friends once. Why fight?

And drag the children into it?

If it weren't for all this bad blood,

we might've met long ago.

Oh!

You're right!

I could've met you back in grade school.

What a shame.

No. Kindergarten!

Kindergarten?

Or maybe in Mommy's womb.

Well, even if we met late, we still found each other.

Then here's my promise.

No matter when or where,

I'll keep finding you, in every lifetime.

You'll never escape me.

And I'll gladly let you find me.

I'm afraid Mr. Mek's case is hopeless.

Take the bags to the car.

Congratulations.

You got everything you wanted.

The company,

your father, this house.

By working instead of Dad,

I'm not taking advantage.

And I'm not trying to steal anything from anyone.

I'm only doing

what any daughter should.

You're doing it well.

When Mek returns,

I'll hand everything back to him.

Everything.

You know me. I keep my word.

This house

belongs to Father,

to you,

to Mek.

But not to me.

Tawan.

I brought some papers for you to sign.

Papers?

Actually,

Mr. Tos asked for your signature.

I'm helping at the company now, Dad.

Why?

Because I don't want to see everything fall apart.

Yesterday I met with Mr. Thana.

He said

this time, he'll forgive you.

And he asked me to tell you,

he hopes

you'll finally reflect

and learn something.

That bastard!

Thank you, my child.

Thank you so much.

All this time…

I've been a terrible father.

I never protected you, never took care of you.

I let you suffer alone.

And because I didn't want you fighting with Mek anymore,

I forced myself to send you away to Hong Kong.

At least there, your aunt and uncle could keep you safe.

Mui, I'm entrusting my daughter to you.

I can't bear to see her living like this anymore.

Duangnet has gone too far.

I never realized how much Tawan was suffering.

When will you send her?

Tomorrow.

Please, take care of her.

Tawan,

go live with Aunt Mui in Hong Kong, okay?

You know, Tawan,

you've always been my pride.

Even when you refused to see me

during my visits,

I knew

how hard you were studying.

I knew your dreams.

It's in the past, Dad.

Please don't say more.

I'm sorry.

Sorry

I never looked after you.

Sorry I made you suffer.

Please give me one more chance.

Thank you, my child.

Thank you so much.

And your dad's not going to kick me out of the house?

I'm right here.

You don't have to be afraid of anything.

Hello, Aa.

I'm Ayla.

I brought you lots of vitamins today.

Not Aa.

Call me Lung, like Uncle.

I'm older than your father by a few months.

Thank you. Sit down.

That day we first met… I'm sorry.

I spoke harshly to you.

It's okay.

I understood the situation.

And honestly, my dad

wasn't exactly gentle either.

The truth is…

it was me who cheated your father.

Back then, we started a construction company together.

We were best friends and partners.

But I got greedy. I wanted to get rich fast.

So, I secretly set up my own company.

And when I found out how much Thana would bid,

I always undercut him to win.

In the end, the company we built together collapsed.

And I pulled out my shares before it happened,

leaving your father to shoulder all the debts,

to pay off employees,

to pay the suppliers.

I'm glad

you finally admitted the truth.

The truth is the truth.

And I also want to apologize for my son,

for the harm he caused you and your father.

I truly regret it.

Please don't blame yourself.

My father and I are safe now.

And besides, Tawan takes good care of me.

No wonder.

That's why she loves you so much.

You can't stop smiling.

Of course.

I've already secured my crown as the family's future daughter-in-law.

And you can be sure

I've never given that title

to anyone else.

Let's get married then.

I want to marry you.

Slow down, Ayla.

That line is supposed to come from me.

Oh please, whoever says it doesn't matter. What matters is the result.

So? Are we getting married or not?

We are.

But Mr. Thana won't storm our wedding, right?

Oh, you just ruined the mood.

Let's hope

he softens his heart.

Have hope!

Have hope, have hope… I'm manifesting it!

Have hope, have hope, have hope!

Hope or not,

I'll never

let go of the one

my heart chose.

I love your treehouse, Tawan.

So that means…

the only one left is your dearest dad.

Honestly, it's not about Tawan.

It's old grudges between our fathers.

I don't know when they'll forgive each other.

Well, at least now there's a little light at the end of the tunnel.

Just hoping that day comes soon.

BEC MUSIC FESTIVAL

And…

Where's Tawan been?

I haven't seen her lately.

You miss her?

She's been busy, working for both companies.

We only get to talk on the phone these days.

I've signed off on several payments

for her bodyguard services.

But accounting tells me

her company hasn't picked up the checks.

Tell her to come get them.

She won't take them.

She says

protecting me is her duty as a good girlfriend.

When she can't be here herself, she sends her staff.

The whole team.

I'm basically

VVVVIP Ayla!

If only she weren't Songklod's daughter,

things would be so much easier.

But can't her goodness

outweigh that or something?

Time will tell.

Let's wait and see.

Then get ready, Dad. You'll be seeing a lot of her for a very, very long time.

Because I'm not letting go.

Tawan!

Wait, how did you get here? You said you couldn't come!

Come here.

Kie.

- It's… - Oh, okay.

Actually, it'd be nice if you could sit here and watch, clearly.

You really want me to just sit and watch?

Don't you feel it's a waste of my potential?

I'm a great bodyguard, you know.

So what? I just want to sing for you.

That's been my dream.

If you sit here and listen to me sing,

and I'm singing right here…

But if you came up and sang with me,

that would make me so happy.

Me? On stage? Singing?

Poor audience.

Don't lie. I've heard you sing before.

I was eavesdropping.

You really are trouble.

I'll stick to listening.

Fine, fine.

I won't force you up on stage.

But can I ask just one thing?

Will you sit here and watch over me while I'm singing?

Tomorrow I have a big meeting.

A major project.

I can't skip it.

That's a shame.

But I won't sulk.

I'm sorry.

No, don't be.

You didn't do anything wrong. Really, I understand.

Just wish me luck. That's enough.

My Ayla's amazing.

You've got this.

Piece of cake, right?

Is Tawan here yet?

Not yet.

BACK STAGE STAFF ONLY

I just wish You'd understand my heart for once

Every time I lock eyes with you I'm hoping you'll hear my voice

Hear what it's saying deep inside

But you never seem to care at all

No matter how hard I try

Your heart stays closed And all you do is look right past me

You better know, the one you're looking at Won't just fall for your magic like that

You better know, I'm a superstar

If you wanna try You'll have to wait in line

It's not that I'm stuck-up I'm just not that easygoing

If you wanna shoot your shot You'll have to pass my review

Only you

Don't mean to scare you…

See you later!

Encore! Encore!

Encore! Encore!

Ayla.

How could this happen?

Ayla is still so young.

She won't be able to go back to working the way she used to.

Please tell me the truth.

Is this your way of forcing me to accept you,

even as Songklod's daughter?

Please just give me the chance to see them one more time.

Are you sure you can handle this, Ayla?

Ayla! Ayla!

I don't know if this will be the last time we meet.
