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