Calla gives him a polite refusal while Emmett keeps his patient smile.
Calla

Emmett. You know I don't do this.

Emmett

Synopsis

At the Bellamy winter show, Roman Bellamy calls his wife Calla a thief and ends their marriage in front of the room. He names model Sylvie Draper as the woman he trusts. “You are nothing without me,” he says. Calla walks out with her head high and does not beg. Five years later, Calla runs Winslow Studio, one of the most wanted names in fashion. She raises her son, Jamie, alone and keeps kind lawyer Emmett at a safe distance. She has built a life that does not need Roman Bellamy. Then Roman walks into a meeting with her. He sees Jamie’s photo and asks, “Is he mine?” Calla tells him no. Roman admits he was wrong about the past and says he wants to make amends. Calla tells him there is nothing to fix. Can the man who shamed her in public ever win back the woman who built a life without him?
