00:03:18And I need someone who already knows what they're doing
00:03:21This interview is over
00:03:27Hey you can't just walk away from me you entitled prick
00:03:33What did you say to me?

00:03:43Shut up
00:03:51You
00:03:58What is that doing in my office?
00:04:03Can you see that?
00:04:12That Mr. Montgomery is your love child
00:04:22I love you
00:04:32I'm a father

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