00:00:00Billionaire from Montgomery Enterprises, Aston Montgomery, who is known for his corporate ruthlessness.
00:00:06Stella Evans? You didn't even graduate from college?
00:00:10Yeah!
00:00:14Mr. Montgomery is your love child.
00:00:18You said there'd be no more scandals!
00:00:20No, father, there are no scandals.
00:00:22Be my fiance and the mother of my child until my father signs the company over to me.
00:00:26Then I will pay you five million dollars.
00:00:29Fine, but only because my rent's already overdue.
00:00:31It's hard to believe you had a baby less than a year ago.
00:00:35Ah!
00:00:37Montgomery's don't associate with peasants.
00:00:39Touch my wife again, I will end you.
00:00:41No, my baby!
00:00:43Maybe life with Aston won't be so bad after all.
00:00:45I would do anything for you, anything for our family.
00:00:49Aston isn't the man you think he is, whatever feelings you think he may have.
00:00:55I love you, Stella Evans.
00:00:57It's all just one big lie.
00:00:59I have meant every word I have said to you.
00:01:03I'm in, Stella, I'm all in.
00:01:05Are you?
00:01:23You have to be prepared.
00:01:25I don't have long.
00:01:29I'm not going to let you die, Mo.
00:01:31You're going to beat this cancer.
00:01:41Danny, what are you doing?
00:01:43What does it look like I'm doing?
00:01:45Your rent's late.
00:01:47You're digging it.
00:01:49It's two days late, and you said it wouldn't be an issue.
00:01:57I changed my mind.
00:01:59So, unless you want to pay up with that tight little amount of yours, you're out by tomorrow morning.
00:02:07You've got to be kidding me.
00:02:09I have never been late before.
00:02:11And you know my mom's medical bills are insane.
00:02:13Oh, not my problem.
00:02:17You should have thought of that before dumping me.
00:02:21I'll get you the money.
00:02:23I have a job interview today, and the signing bonus will be more than enough to cover it.
00:02:27Just give me 24 hours.
00:02:33Then you better get that job.
00:02:35Tick-tock, cupcake.
00:02:47Billionaire financer Robert Montgomery has announced his retirement from Montgomery Enterprises this morning, the company he built five decades ago.
00:02:59His successor is presumed to be Aston Montgomery, his eldest son and heir, who is known not only for his playboy ways, but his corporate ruthlessness.
00:03:11Stella Evans?
00:03:13Come with me.
00:03:25So, you don't have any corporate experience, and you didn't even graduate from college?
00:03:31Well, something came up at home, and I couldn't.
00:03:35I'm not running a charity, Ms. Evans.
00:03:37I'm sorry, but I can't hire you.
00:03:39Please.
00:03:41I really need the money.
00:03:45So do 400 other applicants.
00:03:47What makes you so special?
00:03:49I may not be experienced, but I'm a quick learner, and I really need the money.
00:03:55And I need someone who already knows what they're doing.
00:03:57This interview is over.
00:04:03Hey, you can't just walk away from me, you entitled prick!
00:04:08What did you say to me?
00:04:10You heard me, just because you think you're better than everyone else.
00:04:19Shut up.
00:04:27You know what you...
00:04:34What is that doing in my office?
00:04:37Can you see that?
00:04:46That, Mr. Montgomery, is your love child.
00:05:07I'm a father.
00:05:11What do I do?
00:05:14You said you needed a job.
00:05:16Help me.
00:05:22Come here, Emma.
00:05:25Here you go.
00:05:29It's okay.
00:05:37Perhaps...
00:05:39I misjudged you.
00:05:46So the rumors are true.
00:05:48I'm a grandfather.
00:05:50No, Father, this is not...
00:05:52The board will never let an irresponsible playboy lead the company.
00:05:55You said there'd be no more scandals.
00:05:58I have no choice but to turn the company over to your brother, Clive.
00:06:02No, Father, there are no scandals.
00:06:05There are no scandals.
00:06:08Father, this is Stella.
00:06:11My fiancé and the mother of my child.
00:06:15What the fuck?
00:06:23Excuse me?
00:06:25You expect me to believe this low-class woman is your fiancé?
00:06:29Do not speak about her that way.
00:06:31I love her.
00:06:33And I'm tired of hiding it.
00:06:36Right, honey?
00:06:40Please go with it.
00:06:43...yourself.
00:06:44Or what?
00:06:45Or you'll find out how much of a sweetheart I really am.
00:06:47You're really going to let your fiancé act like that?
00:06:49Oh, yeah, I encourage it, actually.
00:06:51So unless you want to see what she's really made of, I suggest you back the fuck off.
00:06:56And one more thing.
00:06:58Touch my fiancé again, I'll break more than just your camera.
00:07:01Sir! Sir! We're going to have it!
00:07:03Can we answer our questions, please?
00:07:05You cannot ignore us, Mr. Montgomery.
00:07:07Come on now, Mr. Montgomery.
00:07:08What do you have to say?
00:07:23This place is beautiful.
00:07:27So what do we do now?
00:07:30Simple.
00:07:32We do what fiancés do.
00:07:47Look at me.
00:08:00What the hell was that?
00:08:04This is part of the deal.
00:08:06We have to sell it.
00:08:08I have someone looking into where Emma came from.
00:08:10It should all be sorted out soon.
00:08:12What will be sorted, brother?
00:08:14Clive.
00:08:16Welcome home.
00:08:18This fiancé and baby certainly came out of nowhere, didn't they?
00:08:22What are you doing here, Clive?
00:08:24I came to meet my niece and soon-to-be sister-in-law, you know.
00:08:28Since it all happened so fast.
00:08:32Stella...
00:08:34Evans, is it?
00:08:37And what trash barrel did you crawl out of?
00:08:42The trash barrel I crawled out of is none of your business.
00:08:46Oh, contraire, mon chéri.
00:08:49It's most definitely my business.
00:08:51The Montgomerys don't associate with peasants.
00:08:54Bad for business.
00:08:56Leave her alone!
00:08:58For what?
00:09:00Care to find out?
00:09:04Care to find out?
00:09:08So, my playboy brother does have feelings.
00:09:11And for a low-class gold digger, no less.
00:09:15Be careful.
00:09:17It's only a matter of time before he dumps you and that baby back into the gutter where you came from.
00:09:27She's cute.
00:09:32Looks just like you, brother.
00:09:48Get away from our baby and get out of our house!
00:09:51Fine.
00:09:53But there's something weird going on here, and I'll find out what it is.
00:09:57The CEO position will be mine.
00:10:00And the first thing I'll do is fire you, brother.
00:10:15Is everyone in your family like that?
00:10:18My half-brother is just the tip of the iceberg.
00:10:21So keep your guard up.
00:10:27I have a few things I have to do.
00:10:30Your room is upstairs.
00:10:34What have I gotten myself into?
00:10:37At least I'll be able to take care of my mom when this is all over.
00:10:41If there's anything you need while I'm gone, just call.
00:10:43But the nurse will take care of you.
00:10:45How did you get the money for a nurse? It's so expensive.
00:10:49I... I got a job. Don't worry about me.
00:10:57I gotta go. I'll see you soon.
00:11:11Holy hot!
00:11:15Huh.
00:11:18See something you like?
00:11:23I...
00:11:26Miss Evans? Everything okay?
00:11:32Emma needs us.
00:11:35Right behind you.
00:11:44What's wrong with her?
00:11:47Hey. Hey. Hey.
00:11:50Shh. There you go.
00:11:53Good job, baby girl.
00:11:55How did you do that?
00:11:57She just wanted to be held.
00:11:59You should hold her.
00:12:00Oh, I don't know about that.
00:12:02She's your daughter.
00:12:04She probably wants you more than anyone else.
00:12:08Trust me. I wish my dad was around.
00:12:11I've never held a baby before, and she's so little, I don't want to hurt her.
00:12:16Aston, she's yours.
00:12:19You can't be scared of her forever.
00:12:26Um...
00:12:28Hey.
00:12:30Emma, um...
00:12:33I'm your daddy.
00:12:37See?
00:12:40That wasn't so bad.
00:12:45Okay.
00:12:47Good night, Emma.
00:13:02It's the private investigator.
00:13:05The sooner I find out who Emma's mom is, the better.
00:13:25Did the private chef make all this?
00:13:28No.
00:13:30I did.
00:13:33A playboy billionaire who cooks.
00:13:36Maybe I misjudged you.
00:13:39Not such a prick after all, huh?
00:13:42Maybe life with Aston won't be so bad after all.
00:13:48But back to business.
00:13:52My family is coming over for dinner tonight.
00:13:56They want to meet you.
00:13:58Your family? Aston, I can't...
00:14:00Oh, you can. And you will.
00:14:11This is part of the deal.
00:14:13If you want the money, everyone has to believe that you're my fiancé and the mother of my child, starting with my family.
00:14:24Mom?
00:14:26Mom?
00:14:28Can you hear me?
00:14:30My mom's in trouble.
00:14:38Danny, what are you doing?
00:14:40I paid you!
00:14:42Well, I changed my mind when I heard you were shacking up with some billionaire.
00:14:58Knock it off! You know my mom needs that medicine.
00:15:01Well, now that you've come in to some money, you can pay me more.
00:15:05Two years, that should do it.
00:15:08She'll pay you what she owes you and not a cent more.
00:15:16Is this the place?
00:15:19Yeah.
00:15:21I've been here before.
00:15:25Is this your billionaire boyfriend?
00:15:29Actually, he's my fiancé.
00:15:33And he's rich and powerful.
00:15:37He has a bigger dick than you.
00:15:44You really think you're good enough for him?
00:15:47I only fucked you because I felt sorry for you and your dying child.
00:15:55No.
00:15:59Stella is more than good enough for me. If you touch her again, I will kill you.
00:16:05Aston, stop. He's not worth it.
00:16:11Stella? Mom!
00:16:14Mom!
00:16:17Hey, hey.
00:16:19Stella, he took my medicine.
00:16:24I have it right here, Mrs. Evans.
00:16:27That man will never bother you again. I will make sure of it.
00:16:34And I'm sending someone for your things. They're coming to live with us.
00:16:46Thank you for helping me with my mom.
00:16:50That wasn't part of the deal.
00:16:57Not everything I do has to be about our deal, Stella.
00:17:07Still, thank you.
00:17:11And I'm sorry for calling you a prick earlier.
00:17:14Why? I can be a prick.
00:17:17When I really want to be.
00:17:21Speaking of our deal, be ready by 7 p.m. for the family dinner.
00:17:27But I have nothing to wear.
00:17:31I'll take care of that.
00:17:47Okay.
00:18:09I hoped you'd pick the red. You look beautiful.
00:18:15I'm still debating what shoes to wear, though.
00:18:18Allow me.
00:18:46There's one thing missing.
00:18:52There's one thing missing.
00:18:59A ring.
00:19:02May I?
00:19:23Perfect fit.
00:19:29Esten, it's too much. I don't deserve this.
00:19:33No. Whoever told you this is more than you deserve is wrong.
00:19:39Because nothing is too much for my future wife.
00:19:42Even if it's only for appearances, you were made to wear it.
00:19:52Let's go.
00:19:54I want to show off my new fiancé.
00:20:13You ready to sell this?
00:20:19Esten, a word.
00:20:23It'll take a moment.
00:20:27Go.
00:20:30I'll be fine.
00:20:49Stella, how nice of you to join us.
00:20:53This is the woman who trapped our Esten with a bastard child.
00:20:59Funny. It's hard to believe that you had a baby less than a year ago.
00:21:05Mother, be nice. I'm sure Stella's trying her best.
00:21:13Oh, I didn't know Esten had a sister.
00:21:18Sister? No. I'm Clarissa.
00:21:23Esten's ex-fiancé.
00:21:33Oh, God. Is she pregnant with Esten's baby?
00:21:38No wonder Esten didn't introduce you earlier. You're nothing like me.
00:21:43And thank God for that. Stella would never cheat on me and get knocked up by my brother.
00:21:48At least we didn't hide our child from the entire family.
00:21:52That's right. Where even is my step-grandbaby?
00:21:57You see, Robert, he's as negligent a father as he would be a CEO.
00:22:03She's with the nanny to keep her from the judgment of people like you.
00:22:07All that matters is our judgment, and bringing in this peasant certainly doesn't help your case.
00:22:15Excuse me? Who are you calling peasant? Being rich doesn't mean you can walk all over me.
00:22:23How dare you talk back to me like that?
00:22:28You can't even control your worthless fiancé. You'll never be good enough to be CEO.
00:22:36Esten is the only person who should run Montgomery Enterprises.
00:22:40Anyone else's CEO would be a mistake. Especially your son.
00:22:53You have upset my fiancé, and I won't stand for that.
00:22:56Dinner is canceled. Get out of my house.
00:23:02Now.
00:23:20I'm sorry if I was out of line.
00:23:22No. Thank you for defending me.
00:23:26You didn't have to do that.
00:23:29Of course I did. I'm your fiancé.
00:23:39I never should have brought you into this. It's not fair to you.
00:23:46I'll pay you what I owe you. Just take the money and go, Stella.
00:23:53What's going to happen to you and Emma?
00:23:55Don't worry about us.
00:23:56I do worry about you. I care about you both.
00:24:01I'm sorry, Stella, but this contract between us is over.
00:24:09What contract?
00:24:17What contract?
00:24:20I told you what would happen if I caught you lying.
00:24:23We're not lying.
00:24:25Prove it.
00:24:27We were just talking about a prenup. Esten wants me to sign one to protect your family.
00:24:34I think it's admirable.
00:24:39I see.
00:24:42I see.
00:24:54You've saved me twice in the last 20 minutes.
00:25:00You're not what I expected.
00:25:03What did you expect?
00:25:06I don't know.
00:25:09Not you.
00:25:15Why are you looking at me like you want to kiss me?
00:25:18Because I do want to kiss you.
00:25:26Because I do want to kiss you.
00:25:29It's all I've thought about since you put on that red dress.
00:25:33We probably shouldn't complicate this whole fake relationship thing.
00:25:38Especially since we're not actually getting married.
00:25:43You're right.
00:25:45We'll break off this engagement as soon as possible and we'll both get everything we want.
00:26:03I love you.
00:26:13I have some good news.
00:26:15You're getting married.
00:26:17Tomorrow.
00:26:25Congratulations.
00:26:27By this time tomorrow, you'll officially be husband and wife.
00:26:31Tomorrow?
00:26:33Unless there's some sort of problem with getting married tomorrow.
00:26:37It's just...
00:26:39We're not in a rush.
00:26:41But the board is.
00:26:43A child out of wedlock is a scandal.
00:26:46And one that must be remedied immediately.
00:26:52I hope that won't be a problem.
00:27:02Married?
00:27:04That wasn't part of the deal.
00:27:05I know.
00:27:08But would it be so bad being married to me?
00:27:15No.
00:27:17It's just...
00:27:19This isn't exactly how I pictured getting married.
00:27:23I love you.
00:27:30It takes some time to think about it.
00:27:34But I need an answer tonight.
00:27:46Mom.
00:27:48How did you know when you were ready to get married?
00:27:52I don't think anybody ever is ready.
00:27:56Truly.
00:27:58I mean, your father and I certainly weren't.
00:28:00You weren't?
00:28:02No.
00:28:03We were young.
00:28:05Too young, even.
00:28:09But your father made me feel the way I'd never felt before.
00:28:13He made me feel loved.
00:28:15Valued.
00:28:18Whole.
00:28:23But...
00:28:35It didn't even work out.
00:28:37It ended before I was born.
00:28:41Just because something doesn't last
00:28:44doesn't mean you can't enjoy it while you have it.
00:28:52Plus, your father gave me you.
00:28:56Which is more than enough.
00:28:59I can't deny it.
00:29:01I want to marry Aston.
00:29:03Even if it's temporary.
00:29:05He and Emma are my family.
00:29:07It would break my heart when it's all over.
00:29:11She just went down.
00:29:16Look, I know this isn't what you wanted.
00:29:18And...
00:29:20You deserve to marry someone who truly cares about you.
00:29:23So...
00:29:27If you want to walk away now, I...
00:29:29I won't blame you.
00:29:34I'm sorry.
00:29:36If you want to walk away now, I...
00:29:38I won't blame you.
00:29:41So...
00:29:43Do you have an answer for me?
00:29:48So...
00:29:50Do you have an answer for me?
00:29:52I do.
00:29:56Aston, look at me.
00:30:00I never thought I would get married as part of a contract, but...
00:30:03I said I'd help you.
00:30:05And I'll keep my word.
00:30:11It means a lot to me.
00:30:17I have to say I'm surprised Aston is going through with this.
00:30:20I definitely thought that he would have dumped you by now.
00:30:23He probably will once he sees her in that rag.
00:30:27It was my mother's wedding dress.
00:30:29Of course it was.
00:30:31Only a poor person would wear something like that.
00:30:33I'm surprised your Prince Charming didn't buy you something better.
00:30:36He clearly doesn't care about you.
00:30:41It doesn't matter what you think.
00:30:43I know how Aston feels.
00:30:45Are you sure if he really loved you,
00:30:48he would have given you his mother's ring?
00:30:54Are you sure if he really loved you,
00:30:58he would have given you his mother's ring?
00:31:04Yes.
00:31:11Is that what he gave you, Clarissa?
00:31:14No, but that's only because I wanted something bigger.
00:31:22From Mr. Montgomery, Bowie's fiance.
00:31:26Oh my God!
00:31:28It's gorgeous!
00:31:30That's the late Mrs. Montgomery's necklace.
00:31:33That's supposed to be mine.
00:31:35I am under strict orders
00:31:38to allow nobody but Ms. Evans near this necklace.
00:31:42Especially you.
00:32:01You look like the future Mrs. Montgomery.
00:32:06I do.
00:32:08If only this were real.
00:32:25I know that you and Aston are lying about your relationship.
00:32:30So if you know what's best,
00:32:32you won't go through with this wedding.
00:32:35Aston isn't who you think he is.
00:32:41So if you know what's best,
00:32:43you won't go through with this wedding.
00:32:48Aston isn't the man you think he is.
00:32:51Whatever money you think you might be getting,
00:32:54whatever feelings you think he may have,
00:32:57it's all just one big lie.
00:32:59Your vision of the future is not the reality.
00:33:10Thank you for the advice.
00:33:12But I don't need it.
00:33:14I can handle myself.
00:33:16And nothing you say can scare me.
00:33:22Say no to Aston in front of everyone.
00:33:25Say no to Aston in front of everyone.
00:33:27Or I'll make sure you regret it.
00:33:30Your choice, Stella Evans.
00:33:32Don't make the wrong one.
00:33:56You look beautiful.
00:33:58Hey.
00:34:00Is everything okay?
00:34:02Is it true?
00:34:03Is Aston just using me to get what he wants?
00:34:06Is he just using Emma?
00:34:08Dearly beloved,
00:34:10we are gathered here today
00:34:12to join this man and woman in holy matrimony.
00:34:15Marriage is powerful in a way that makes you feel lucky to be married.
00:34:17Do you take Aston to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:34:20Do you take Aston to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:34:32I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:34:40I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:34:50Why?
00:34:54Why?
00:34:56What the hell was that about?
00:34:59Is this all fake, Aston?
00:35:01Every word you're telling me,
00:35:03every look you're giving me,
00:35:04is it all just some charade?
00:35:06Jesus.
00:35:07Is this necklace even real?
00:35:09God.
00:35:20God.
00:35:36I have meant every word I've said to you.
00:35:40None of this is a lie.
00:35:43And this necklace?
00:35:47My mother left it to me before she died.
00:35:49She said, uh,
00:35:51that I should only give it to someone I care about.
00:35:55Someone I saw a future with.
00:36:15I'm falling for you Stella Evans.
00:36:18I have been since the moment we met.
00:36:25I don't know how I feel right now.
00:36:28Today's just been a lot and
00:36:30my mind is all over the place.
00:36:34You're right.
00:36:35This wedding's way too much, too soon.
00:36:39Stay here and
00:36:41I'll tell everybody the wedding is off.
00:36:48Excellent.
00:36:49A runaway bride is an even bigger scandal than a love child.
00:37:01This must be a record, brother.
00:37:03Two fiancées down.
00:37:05At least this one made it to the altar.
00:37:09Hi everyone.
00:37:10Sorry to keep you waiting, but
00:37:12there won't be-
00:37:13Any more interruptions.
00:37:15Who's ready for a wedding?
00:37:41Okay.
00:37:43Okay, let's try this again.
00:37:47Dearly beloved,
00:37:48we are gathered here today
00:37:50to join this man and this woman
00:37:52in holy matrimony.
00:37:54Marriage is powerful in ways you'd never expect.
00:37:57It's something that makes you feel lucky to be alive
00:38:00exactly when and where you are.
00:38:02It's choosing your partner
00:38:04at every moment of every day
00:38:07and of learning how to love
00:38:09even the darkest parts of another person.
00:38:11A true partner stays with you
00:38:13through thick and thin,
00:38:15in sickness and in health,
00:38:17for better or worse,
00:38:18for richer or poorer,
00:38:20on death do you part.
00:38:22Aston,
00:38:24do you take Stella to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:38:27I do.
00:38:28And Stella,
00:38:30do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:38:42Stella,
00:38:43do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:38:55I do.
00:38:57Good.
00:38:58You may kiss the bride now.
00:39:12I'd like to congratulate my eldest son on his marriage today
00:39:16and to announce
00:39:18that he's going to be taking over Montgomery Enterprises
00:39:21as my successor and CEO tomorrow.
00:39:25This is bullshit.
00:39:27CEO should be mine.
00:39:32This is your fault, you little bitch.
00:39:36I hope that hurt.
00:39:38Not as much as this girl.
00:39:40You're my baby!
00:39:43Not as much as this girl.
00:39:45You're my baby!
00:39:49What the hell?
00:39:50You ruined my suit!
00:39:51If you touch my wife again, I will end you.
00:39:53Now get the hell out of my wedding.
00:40:01Baby!
00:40:03You're just gonna stand there and let him do that?
00:40:06You're right.
00:40:07I should have stopped him before the slap.
00:40:10Let's get out of here before someone else tries to ruin our wedding day.
00:40:21Whoa.
00:40:23Are you okay?
00:40:26I'm fine.
00:40:27He barely got me.
00:40:33So,
00:40:35husband,
00:40:37what should we do next?
00:40:40I don't know.
00:40:48I have wanted you
00:40:50since the moment we met,
00:40:52Mrs. Montgomery.
00:40:55I'm sorry.
00:41:08Are you going?
00:41:13If I don't leave now,
00:41:16I won't be able to stop myself
00:41:18from tearing you out of that dress.
00:41:21Is that why I wanted you to stop?
00:41:31Since the moment I met you,
00:41:33you have consumed my everything.
00:41:36I can't eat.
00:41:38I can't sleep.
00:41:39I can't work without thinking about you.
00:41:43Without imagining this.
00:41:45Without imagining this.
00:41:49Do you want me?
00:41:53More than anything.
00:42:16I love you.
00:42:22Stella, help!
00:42:29The baby's not breathing.
00:42:37Hey.
00:42:39I don't know what happened.
00:42:40One minute she was breathing and the next thing she...
00:42:42I...
00:42:44Thank God.
00:42:47Hey.
00:42:48It's okay.
00:42:49She's okay now, see?
00:43:01That's the most terrified I've ever been in my life.
00:43:05That's because she's your baby girl and you love her.
00:43:10What if I can't do this on my own?
00:43:13What if I can't raise an entire human being?
00:43:19You can do this.
00:43:20Actually, you already are doing it.
00:43:24All you have to do is love her.
00:43:27That's more than my dad did for me.
00:43:35It's the private investigator.
00:43:38He might have information on who Emma's mom is.
00:43:44I love you.
00:43:55Mom.
00:43:57I wanted to let you know that I went through with the wedding.
00:44:00And I brought you a picture.
00:44:05I even wore your dress.
00:44:07Stella.
00:44:10Oh, you're so beautiful.
00:44:14I'm so glad you found someone to take care of you after Mom got...
00:44:22What are you talking about?
00:44:30What's this?
00:44:32A clinical trial?
00:44:33But it cost ten million dollars?
00:44:36Something like that could save my mom.
00:44:38But how am I ever going to get that much money?
00:44:43Here.
00:44:48There you are.
00:44:51Everything okay?
00:44:53Yep.
00:44:55What are you doing?
00:45:00I have to take a paternity test.
00:45:04I have to take a paternity test.
00:45:10I guess we'll know soon if I'm Emma's father.
00:45:14If?
00:45:16Well, they got the footage from the office the day Emma was dropped off.
00:45:20But the woman who was there...
00:45:23I don't recognize her.
00:45:26So you just forgot about her?
00:45:29I don't know.
00:45:31So you just forgot someone you slept with?
00:45:36That wasn't a good time in my life.
00:45:39And I made a lot of bad decisions.
00:45:43But I've changed.
00:45:45You've changed me.
00:45:48Which is why I need you to come with me to the board meeting today.
00:45:53You keep me grounded.
00:45:56Of course I'll go with you.
00:46:01Today is about more than my retirement.
00:46:05It's about the future of Montgomery Enterprises.
00:46:08A future that will be ripped to shreds if you allow your lying son to become CEO.
00:46:16What are you talking about?
00:46:20You.
00:46:22You're not the mother of his child.
00:46:27You're not the mother of his child.
00:46:30You're lying.
00:46:32They're both lying to all of you.
00:46:37Stella Evans.
00:46:40Ten o'clock interview with Ashton Montgomery for the executive assistant position.
00:46:47Looks like he offered a different job to her altogether.
00:46:51This man would go so far as to marry a complete stranger in order to become your CEO.
00:46:57In order to become your CEO.
00:46:59I don't know how much he's paying you, but it must be a lot.
00:47:03If this is true, son, you're an embarrassment to this family and this company.
00:47:10The board can't proceed with a vote.
00:47:14It's true.
00:47:16Stella was there at the interview that day.
00:47:18Me.
00:47:20To see if I was up for the challenge to raising our daughter.
00:47:23But this isn't about my personal life.
00:47:25This is about what's best for Montgomery Enterprises going into the future.
00:47:29And since I've become COO, I have more than doubled our profits.
00:47:33And if that's not enough for you, then I don't know what is.
00:47:39It doesn't matter what you say.
00:47:41Mom already promised me the position of CEO would be mine.
00:47:45Enough.
00:47:48We will vote now.
00:47:51Is there a vote for Clive?
00:47:56And for Aston?
00:48:06It's a tie.
00:48:08So it all comes down to my father.
00:48:12And I have decided.
00:48:18The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises is...
00:48:26The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises is...
00:48:32Aston Montgomery.
00:48:38What about me?
00:48:40I've looked at the financials.
00:48:42You've spent more time at the country club than in the boardroom.
00:48:46It's not my fault their Cobb salads are excellent.
00:48:50And the boardroom is boring.
00:48:56Come on.
00:48:59Congratulations, Aston.
00:49:01The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises.
00:49:04But make me doubt anything else, and I'll rip everything away from you two without hesitation.
00:49:09Without hesitation.
00:49:23So what's your first act as CEO?
00:49:27I violate every page of the HR handbook.
00:49:30It's a good thing you never gave me that job.
00:49:37I need you.
00:49:39I need you.
00:50:09I need you.
00:50:24I need you.
00:50:33Just a minute.
00:50:40Aston.
00:50:42The board would like to see you.
00:50:44To go over some financials.
00:50:46Of course.
00:51:00Knock, knock.
00:51:04Clarissa, if you're here to bully me, I am not in the mood.
00:51:07That's not why I'm here.
00:51:09I'm here as a courtesy.
00:51:11You deserve the truth, and clearly Aston isn't going to give it to you.
00:51:19This baby isn't Clive's.
00:51:22It's Aston's.
00:51:31What the hell are you talking about?
00:51:33That baby cannot be Aston's.
00:51:35Well, we clearly couldn't tell you until the roost was over.
00:51:37Until he became CEO.
00:51:39But now that it's all over, and Aston got what he wanted, we don't need you anymore.
00:51:46He doesn't need you anymore.
00:51:54What the hell are you talking about?
00:51:57Open Aston's desk drawer and find out.
00:52:10Oh my god.
00:52:12He signed the divorce papers.
00:52:14Clarissa's telling the truth.
00:52:25You can go now.
00:52:37Sweet Emma.
00:52:40I'm going to miss you so much.
00:52:44What's going on?
00:52:46I'm saying goodbye to Emma, and then I'm out of here.
00:52:49Just like you want me to be.
00:52:56Stella, why are you packing?
00:52:58Here, I signed up. You don't have to worry about me anymore.
00:53:01What are you talking about?
00:53:03Come on Aston, you used me to get everything you wanted.
00:53:05I was a fool to think we could ever be together.
00:53:08That we could ever have a family together.
00:53:10Oh, and by the way, congratulations on the baby.
00:53:13I hope you and Clarissa are really happy together.
00:53:16Wait.
00:53:24Wait.
00:53:28Please, let me explain.
00:53:31What could you possibly have to say to me?
00:53:34There is nothing and will never be anything between me and Clarissa ever again.
00:53:39I'm not even the father of her child.
00:53:41And these, I had these drawn up the day I met you before.
00:53:44I knew this could be anything more than a contract.
00:53:47And this, just take it.
00:53:51Please, just take everything out.
00:53:53All I want is you and Emma.
00:53:55I could take or leave anything else.
00:53:57You don't mean that.
00:53:59Of course I mean it.
00:54:00I have meant every word I have said to you.
00:54:04I'm in Stella, I'm all in.
00:54:07Are you?
00:54:13I'm in Stella, I'm all in.
00:54:16Are you?
00:54:19Yeah, I'm all in.
00:54:26You're not going to leave me, are you?
00:54:29Yes.
00:54:38The paternity results are in.
00:54:42I'm not going to miss father.
00:54:53The paternity results are in.
00:54:54The paternity results are in.
00:54:57I'm not going to miss father.
00:55:06I can't believe I'm not her father.
00:55:11If she doesn't belong to me, then why would that woman have shown up at my office and made me believe she was mine?
00:55:21I can't tell you why this is happening, Aston.
00:55:25But Emma's lucky to have you as a dad.
00:55:28Biological or not.
00:55:32We need to find the truth.
00:55:39Dahlia's behind it all.
00:55:46I'm not telling you anything.
00:55:48This isn't a game, Dahlia.
00:55:50She's a child. Where did Emma come from?
00:55:52Step down to CEO and I'll tell you.
00:55:59Step down to CEO and I'll tell you.
00:56:01Are you kidding me? This is way bigger than a CEO position.
00:56:05This is a child's life you're messing with.
00:56:08Shut up, you little tramp.
00:56:11If you hadn't come along pretending to be her mother, the scandal would have proceeded as planned.
00:56:17And that little child would be back at the orphanage right where she belonged.
00:56:22Orphanage?
00:56:24That's right. The baby's trash, just like you.
00:56:39My hair!
00:56:47Aston McGovern, you better get control of your little wife!
00:56:50Or nothing!
00:56:52You will not speak about my wife or my family that way.
00:56:55Get out.
00:57:09Call every orphanage in the city until you find one that's missing a baby.
00:57:17Call every orphanage in the city until you find one that's missing a baby.
00:57:22It's okay.
00:57:24It's okay, we're going to figure this out.
00:57:29Oh my God, did she just call me Mama?
00:57:32She's yours if you want her to be.
00:57:35I want to be, but until we figure out what's going on, I can't get attached.
00:57:40I want to be, but until we figure out what's going on, I can't get attached.
00:57:47Mr. Montgomery! Mr. Montgomery!
00:57:50What can you say about the recent allegations that Ms. Evans is not the mother of your son's child?
00:57:57Mr. Montgomery! You can't ignore us! Mr. Montgomery!
00:58:04What's going on?
00:58:06The press is having a field day out here.
00:58:08I told you to. No more scandals!
00:58:11What are you talking about?
00:58:14I went out on a limb for you, son. I trusted you.
00:58:17And this has been a lie the whole time?
00:58:21You say she's the mother of your child?
00:58:23Prove it, or I'll expect you to step down as CEO tomorrow morning.
00:58:30How do we prove it?
00:58:33Simple.
00:58:35Take a maternity test.
00:58:39Mr. Montgomery! Mr. Montgomery!
00:58:41Come on now.
00:58:46Okay.
00:58:48Aston.
00:58:50Please.
00:58:52Please.
00:58:54Please!
00:58:56Please.
00:58:58I'm sorry.
00:59:00I'm sorry.
00:59:01I'm sorry.
00:59:03You son of a...
00:59:04Mr. Montgomery.
00:59:06I'm sorry.
00:59:08If I take a maternity test, they're going to know that Emma's not mine, and then we may lose her.
00:59:14Forever.
00:59:15No.
00:59:18They've been lying.
00:59:21If they find out, there's no way we can keep Emma.
00:59:25Ah! Ah!
00:59:28Mom! Mom!
00:59:32Ah!
00:59:33My mom is dying!
00:59:39Oh, my head is so warm.
00:59:43It's okay.
00:59:52Oh, my heart was racing. I was so scared.
00:59:57It's okay.
01:00:01It's okay. It's all going to be okay.
01:00:08Hey.
01:00:17Hey.
01:00:19My mom's getting worse.
01:00:23She needs this experimental treatment, but we can't afford it, so...
01:00:29Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:33I didn't want to be a burden to you.
01:00:35You can never be a burden.
01:00:38How much does the treatment cost?
01:00:45Ten million dollars.
01:00:48I'll pay it. Every penny.
01:00:57I'll pay it. Every penny.
01:01:01Aston, I...
01:01:02Like I said, money doesn't matter. I would do anything for you, anything for our family.
01:01:11You have no idea what this means to me.
01:01:23How do you always know just what to say to make me feel better?
01:01:27Because I know you.
01:01:29I know what you want. I know what you need.
01:01:32That's what happens to someone when you...
01:01:35When you... When you what?
01:01:40When you love someone.
01:01:42And I love you, Stella Evans.
01:01:51And I love you, Stella Evans.
01:01:54And I love you, Stella Evans.
01:02:03You love me?
01:02:07I do.
01:02:10I can't believe it's taken me so long to see you.
01:02:18Please tell me you feel the same.
01:02:24I don't know what I'm feeling.
01:02:26It's all just... It's too much.
01:02:32I understand.
01:02:41Hi, I'd like to pay a bill for Mary Evans.
01:02:46It has?
01:02:49By who?
01:02:51I see.
01:03:12A year ago, I gave up my baby girl.
01:03:20I had no choice, and it broke my heart.
01:03:23The chances are almost impossible, but I have to know.
01:03:27Could Emma be my daughter?
01:03:40Hello?
01:03:41I'd like to schedule a maternity test.
01:03:51Hello?
01:03:54Hey, Stella, do you...
01:03:58Everything okay?
01:03:59Fine.
01:04:05You seem... off.
01:04:12I'm fine. I just...
01:04:15I have a lot on my mind.
01:04:18I just can't stop thinking about Emma's mother,
01:04:20and how our lives could come crashing down over some maternity test.
01:04:25Then don't take it.
01:04:26What?
01:04:28No, I can't ask you to do that. That's not fair to you.
01:04:33Don't worry about what's fair to...
01:04:35It's all I'm worried about.
01:04:37You mean more to me than this CEO position.
01:04:41He's trying to help, but...
01:04:43If Emma's somehow mine, I can save Aston's job and his reputation.
01:04:49Just...
01:04:50Don't do anything rash, okay?
01:04:53We still have until tomorrow to figure it out.
01:04:59I need to ask.
01:05:02Does the name Andrew Beaumont mean anything to you?
01:05:06No.
01:05:08Should it?
01:05:10Well...
01:05:11He paid for your mother's treatment.
01:05:14All ten million.
01:05:29Mom?
01:05:31Who's Andrew Beaumont?
01:05:35How...
01:05:37How do you know about him?
01:05:40He paid for your treatment.
01:05:42Who is he?
01:05:47Mom?
01:05:49Mom?
01:05:51Mom!
01:05:52Someone call a doctor!
01:05:54Mom!
01:06:10I spoke with the doctors.
01:06:15She's been put in a medically induced coma until the swelling in her brain subsides.
01:06:22It's all my fault if I wouldn't have pushed her.
01:06:24No, Estella. It is not your fault.
01:06:28I know. I know. And I know she's sick. I just wish there was something I could do.
01:06:32She's with the doctors now.
01:06:34She's getting the treatment she needs.
01:06:37It'll all be fine.
01:06:40No matter how much you keep blaming yourself,
01:06:43I'll say it again.
01:06:46It's not your fault.
01:07:09Okay, Emma.
01:07:11Time to learn the truth.
01:07:19In breaking news, CEO Aston Montgomery has called a last-minute press conference
01:07:23to address the future of Montgomery Enterprises.
01:07:26Reporters have it on good authority that he is prepared to step down as CEO.
01:07:31He's not.
01:07:33He's not.
01:07:35He's not.
01:07:37He's not.
01:07:39He's not going down as CEO,
01:07:41handing the company over to his half-brother, Clive Montgomery,
01:07:44in the wake of a paternity scandal.
01:08:03Oh, my God.
01:08:06I can save him!
01:08:09Do you have anything to say about this?
01:08:11Ma'am, ma'am, how do you answer the allegations?
01:08:13What do you say about the allegations of accusations against you?
01:08:17Mr. Montgomery, you do understand that not forcing your wife to take a maternity test is an admission of guilt, right?
01:08:24Which means you've been lying.
01:08:26To everyone.
01:08:28Wait!
01:08:29We're not lying.
01:08:31I took the test.
01:08:33I have the results right here.
01:08:39I have the results right here.
01:08:41Over here, ma'am, ma'am.
01:08:43Don't be childish, ma'am.
01:08:45Hey! You know how much I'm willing to pay for those?
01:08:47Not enough. Trust me.
01:08:49Over here, ma'am, ma'am.
01:08:51Don't be childish, ma'am.
01:08:53What do you have to give us a quote?
01:08:55How long has this happened?
01:08:57You took the maternity test? Why?
01:08:59I asked him, there's something I need to tell you.
01:09:01Show us the results, sweetheart.
01:09:03Prove your husband's not lying.
01:09:06I don't owe anyone proof. Believe me or don't.
01:09:09But I am Emma's mother.
01:09:11I believe you.
01:09:13Don't even think about it, Dahlia.
01:09:23This is so sweet.
01:09:27If only it mattered.
01:09:29You're too late, Stella.
01:09:31Aston already stepped down.
01:09:33Aston already stepped down.
01:09:43You already stepped down?
01:09:45Yes.
01:09:47To protect you. To protect Emma.
01:09:49Aston, you were fine. All you've ever wanted to do is be safe.
01:09:51To be a great husband to you
01:09:53and a great father to Emma.
01:09:55That's all that matters to me.
01:09:57We can figure out the rest.
01:09:59It looks like
01:10:01you're working for me now, brother.
01:10:03I own the company now.
01:10:05Which means
01:10:07I own you.
01:10:09Not quite.
01:10:13I just received an offer from Montgomery Enterprises.
01:10:15One that I couldn't refuse.
01:10:19Meet our buyer.
01:10:21Andrew Beaumont.
01:10:23Andrew Beaumont.
01:10:29Stella's father.
01:10:37Stella?
01:10:39You look just like your mother.
01:10:43This is ridiculous.
01:10:45You're trying to tell me
01:10:47that Stella's related to a billionaire?
01:10:49Ha!
01:10:51She's nothing but a piece of trash.
01:10:53Don't
01:10:55speak about my daughter that way.
01:10:57Your daughter?
01:10:59How dare you call me that?
01:11:01You left Mom and I.
01:11:03No. Stella, I never left you.
01:11:05Your mother.
01:11:07She kicked me out.
01:11:11Because I wasn't the husband
01:11:13or the father that I needed to be.
01:11:15But I'm here now
01:11:17to make it up to you.
01:11:19This company belongs to me.
01:11:21Not this low-class peasant bitch.
01:11:25Ow! My baby!
01:11:27Damn, that felt good.
01:11:29Get out of my office
01:11:31or I'll have you arrested for assault.
01:11:33Actually,
01:11:35the office belongs to my daughter now.
01:11:39As does the company.
01:11:41What?
01:11:43What?
01:11:47I'm
01:11:49the CEO of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:11:57I'm the CEO
01:11:59of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:12:05Oh, yes.
01:12:07Which means you get to decide how we get rid of Clive.
01:12:09You're
01:12:11nothing more than a spoiled little rich kid
01:12:13who thinks the world is out to get him.
01:12:15You never deserved this company.
01:12:17So fuck off.
01:12:19I...
01:12:23Mother!
01:12:25You'll let her talk to me that way?
01:12:27Dahlia's words have no power.
01:12:29Not anymore.
01:12:31Ah!
01:12:33Ah!
01:12:37This
01:12:39can't be happening.
01:12:41I planned everything
01:12:43perfectly.
01:12:45That little orphan would have made
01:12:47the perfect scandal if not for Stella
01:12:49interfering.
01:12:51And you!
01:12:53You were supposed to convince
01:12:55that little bitch that you were pregnant
01:12:57with Aston's baby.
01:12:59No! You failed
01:13:01and fucked us all.
01:13:03I didn't.
01:13:07Clive, Clarissa,
01:13:09get the hell out of my office.
01:13:11You too, Dahlia. Get out!
01:13:13You can't kick me out.
01:13:15I'm Robert's wife.
01:13:17Not anymore.
01:13:19I want a divorce.
01:13:23What? This is not...
01:13:29I always thought she looked just like you
01:13:31when she was sleeping.
01:13:37I never thought I'd see her again.
01:13:41I never wanted to give her up, but
01:13:43when Mom got sick
01:13:45and the medical bills,
01:13:47I just...
01:13:49I knew we couldn't afford to lose her.
01:13:51I didn't want to lose her.
01:13:53I didn't want to lose her.
01:13:55I didn't want to lose her.
01:13:57I knew we couldn't afford it.
01:14:01That's all in the past.
01:14:05But I want to talk about our future.
01:14:11How would you feel
01:14:13about one more?
01:14:19I could be persuaded.
01:14:21Let me persuade you.
01:14:27Okay.
01:14:47So,
01:14:49what's your first order of business
01:14:51as CEO?
01:14:53Well, since I've already
01:14:55violated the employee handbook...
01:14:57Twice.
01:15:01I was thinking we could talk
01:15:03business.
01:15:05No one knows more
01:15:07about Montgomery Enterprises than you.
01:15:11I was
01:15:13hoping you might show me the ropes.
01:15:15I'd be happy to.
01:15:21Let's violate the handbook one more time.
01:15:25Okay.
01:15:55I'm pregnant.
01:16:15I'm pregnant.
01:16:25Hey.
01:16:27Your mother and I were just catching up.
01:16:31I still can't believe this.
01:16:35Forgive me for not telling you
01:16:37about your father sooner.
01:16:39When I got sick,
01:16:41I decided to write him.
01:16:43Forgiving him.
01:16:47I never thought you would.
01:16:51And...
01:16:53I hope you can forgive me too.
01:17:01You saved me and my family.
01:17:03Of course I'll forgive you.
01:17:09You know, speaking of family...
01:17:13I'd really like to meet my grandbaby.
01:17:19Which one?
01:17:21Which one?
01:17:29Stella!
01:17:35Alston, your assistant called and said
01:17:37it was an emergency.
01:17:39Stella Evans?
01:17:43Yes.
01:17:47Come with me.
01:17:51Okay.
01:17:57The last time I heard those words
01:17:59I got roped into a fake marriage.
01:18:03Well, this time
01:18:05I'm hoping you'll say yes
01:18:07to a real one.
01:18:09Alston.
01:18:19Alston, is that your mother's ring?
01:18:21It is.
01:18:23And you're the only person
01:18:25who has ever been worthy of it.
01:18:29Stella Evans, ever since you stepped into my office
01:18:31you have changed the course
01:18:33of my life. You have given me
01:18:35a beautiful child.
01:18:37Children.
01:18:39I'm pregnant.
01:18:45I want forever with you.
01:18:47No deals.
01:18:49No schemes.
01:18:51Just us.
01:18:53Will you marry me?
01:18:57Yes!
01:18:59Yes, I'll marry you!
01:19:07Yes.
01:19:13It's beautiful.
01:19:17Just like you.
01:19:33What do you say, Mrs. Montgomery?
01:19:35Should we blow those popsicles, Stella?
01:19:37Let's do it.
01:19:51I love you.
01:19:53How much do you love me?
01:19:55Enough to last forever.
01:20:05I love you.
