Hooker Is Ex-Girlfriend Episode 1

Five years ago, Liam Carter, a ruthless CEO on the rise, made a brutal choice. To secure a business merger, he publicly denounced his sweetheart, Elena, framing her for a crime she didn't commit. He watched her world burn, believing it was for the greater good. Elena vanished, left with nothing but heartbreak and a mountain of her family's debt. Now, to save her sick mother, she does the unthinkable: she enters the city's most exclusive escort service, hiding her identity behind a veil of makeup and a false name. Liam, still haunted by her memory and unable to move on, books a companion for a high-society gala. The moment he sees "Scarlett," it's a punch to the gut. She looks so much like *her*. He becomes obsessed, paying exorbitant sums to keep her by his side, all while cruelly mocking the "gold-digging" woman he thinks she is. He lavishes her with gifts and insults in the same breath, using her body while torturing his own soul with the ghost of his past. Elena plays her part perfectly, swallowing her rage and heartache with every degrading encounter, secretly gathering the money and the evidence to ruin him. The conflict explodes when Liam's powerful new fiancée, the daughter of his business partner, grows suspicious. She launches a vicious investigation into "Scarlett's" past, threatening to expose Elena and destroy what's left of her life. As the walls close in, Liam stumbles upon a forgotten locket—Elena's locket—in Scarlett's things. The realization hits him like a freight train: the woman he's been punishing is the only woman he's ever loved. But by the time he races to confess, it may be too late. Elena has her final payment, and her plan for vengeance is already in motion.
