00:00This can't be happening, Kevin gasped as he held his cell phone to his ear.
00:06An eager voice replied, It is, you're rich again!
00:10But how?
00:12Kevin's banker smiled.
00:13Your investment in Orion Group paid off.
00:14You now have more money than your entire family combined.
00:15Your grandpa will be so proud of you for making such a smart move with your inheritance.
00:25Kevin clicked his tongue, I don't know about that.
00:28Don't you remember how my grandpa kicked me out of the family two years ago when I
00:32lost everything with this very same investment?
00:35That's the nice thing about stocks, it's a rollercoaster.
00:39If you stay on long enough, you can rise up even higher than you dropped.
00:44Within one day you can have an insta-empire.
00:48Looking at his lonely mattress on the floor, Kevin whispered, Has this news been made public?
00:54Not yet, but I'm sure that he'll welcome you back with open arms.
00:58You're officially the wealthiest man in Chicago.
01:03Kevin smiled, We'll see about that.
01:05Also, out of curiosity, just how much money do I have?
01:11Just then Kevin was interrupted by a cold voice screaming at him from down the hall.
01:16Kevin, where are you?
01:19You said that you would help me.
01:21I'll be right there, Kevin replied.
01:25Looking at his cell phone, Kevin dropped his voice.
01:28I have to go, but thank you for calling me with this great news.
01:32Just one last thing, can you do me a favor?
01:35Of course, anything.
01:38Please don't tell anyone.
01:39I want to keep this a secret for now.
01:42Understood.
01:43With a confident grin, Kevin hung up the phone and adjusted his clothing as he walked down
01:48the hallway to the kitchen.
01:51Sitting in front of the sink, Kevin saw his mother-in-law, Dorothy, washing her hands
01:55with a nasty look on her face.
01:58Hearing Kevin, Dorothy turned around and barked, So glad that you could finally make it.
02:04These dishes aren't going to wash themselves.
02:08Kevin forced a smile, Sorry, I spilled on my shirt while I was doing the dishes earlier,
02:14so I quickly went to the room to change.
02:16I fully intended to come back and finish them.
02:20Dorothy sarcastically replied, Oh, whoa, thank you.
02:24That would be so very helpful.
02:27I mean, you've only been staying as a guest in our home for the past two years, but really
02:32doing the dishes more than makes up for that.
02:36Kevin bit his tongue as he thought to himself.
02:39I pay rent to live here, plus I do a lot more than the dishes.
02:43I've become my mother-in-law's very own handyman.
02:46I mean, I have literally renovated their entire house these past few years, but I could never
02:51tell them the truth because it would upset Lily and I'm already on thin ice with her.
02:57The last thing that our relationship needs is for her parents to hate me even more than
03:01they already do.
03:03Silencing his thoughts, Kevin turned to his mother-in-law.
03:06Yes, of course, you've been so generous to me and Lily.
03:12The very least I can do is the dishes.
03:14I'll finish them right now.
03:16Please let me know if there's anything else I can do.
03:19You could make some money.
03:21You know, our Lily could have married anyone, but for whatever reason, she chose you.
03:27Remembering his recent phone call, Kevin nodded.
03:30I am going to work to prove my love for her.
03:33I promise you one day I will be worthy of Lily.
03:37Dorothy dried her hands and cackled.
03:40I highly doubt that.
03:42The only reason why we haven't pushed Lily to divorce you is because she was stupid enough
03:46not to get a prenup.
03:48She is the chairman of a huge corporation.
03:51I don't want you taking half of her money.
03:55Kevin paused.
03:56I would never do that.
03:58Dorothy, I love your daughter.
04:00I know that it may not seem like it to you now, but I promise you that I'm going to do
04:04right by her.
04:06Dorothy's face softened.
04:08My husband would kill me for saying this, but I really hope that you do.
04:15Kevin nodded as he stepped around Dorothy and went to the sink.
04:19With a smile, Kevin picked up a dirty plate and continued.
04:22Now I've got some dishes to wash.
04:26Fifteen minutes later, Kevin started the dishwasher and looked at his watch.
04:30It's after five.
04:32Lily should be home by now.
04:34Going down the hallway, Kevin heard the sound of the TV coming from the living room.
04:39Taking a deep breath, Kevin adjusted his shirt and entered the living room.
04:44Welcome home, babe.
04:45Kevin grinned at his wife, Lily.
04:47Sitting on the couch in front of him, Lily lifted her hand and politely waved.
04:52Staring at Lily's bright eyes and luscious lips, Kevin thought to himself.
04:57I still get butterflies every time that I look at her.
05:01Lily's beauty is undeniable, but that's not why I love her.
05:05She is the most driven woman I have ever met.
05:08I mean, in the past few years alone, Lily has worked her way up from assistant to chairman
05:14at her company in record time.
05:16She's incredible.
05:18Hey, Kevin.
05:20A woman who could only be described as basic chimed.
05:24Kevin nodded to his wife's best friend.
05:26Hi, Rachel.
05:27It's good to see you.
05:29Sitting next to Lily on the couch, Rachel smirked.
05:32Nice shirt.
05:34Looking down, Kevin noticed that he had spilled on his shirt again.
05:38Feeling his cheeks blush, Kevin replied, I was doing the dishes.
05:43That's so cute.
05:44At my house, we just pay someone to do that for us.
05:48Rachel cattily responded.
05:51Lily turned to Rachel.
05:52Well, not everyone can be born into wealth like you were.
05:56Some of us have to work for it.
05:58Looking at Kevin, Lily continued.
06:00And some of us have to try even harder.
06:03But when the hard work pays off, it will all be worth it.
06:08Lily secretly winked at Kevin.
06:10Kevin winked back as he thought to himself.
06:13I feel so guilty about hiding my past from her.
06:16Maybe she would understand if I just explained it to her, but at this point, it might be
06:20too late.
06:21I mean, we've been married for years now, and Lily still has no idea that I was born
06:26into one of the wealthiest families in Chicago.
06:29I hid it from her because I didn't want her to marry me because of my money.
06:33But then as luck would have it, I literally lost everything the day that we got engaged.
06:39Closing his eyes, Kevin took a deep breath as he remembered.
06:43I'll never forget that day.
06:45I called my grandpa to tell him the good news, but he interrupted me and instead scolded
06:50me for investing my entire trust fund into Orion Corporation stocks, which unexpectedly
06:56dropped.
06:57I will never forget how my grandpa told me, I'm kicking you out of the family.
07:02It's for your own good.
07:04You need to learn the value of money.
07:07And now years later, that Orion investment has generated more money than my entire family
07:12could ever dream of.
07:14I'm the richest man in Chicago.
07:17But how do I tell my wife the truth?
07:19She still thinks that I'm just some unemployed schmuck.
07:23I need to show her that she can trust me before I reveal my secret.
07:28Lily stood up from the couch and came over and softly kissed Kevin on the cheek.
07:32Kevin, no offense, but Rachel's right.
07:36You look like a complete mess right now.
07:38Maybe you should go freshen up.
07:41Turning back to look at Rachel sitting on the couch, Lily continued, especially since
07:46we have a guest over.
07:48Kevin nodded.
07:49Of course, I'll go change right now.
07:51After changing his shirt for the second time that night, Kevin walked towards the living
07:56room but stopped when he heard Rachel whispering to Lily.
08:00I don't know how you do it.
08:02You're this badass boss bitch and he's honestly kind of pathetic.
08:08He feels like the before picture in a commercial.
08:11Why do you stay with him?
08:13After a long pause, Lily whispered back.
08:16He wasn't always like this.
08:18When we first met, he was charming and confident.
08:21I don't know what happened to him, but I keep thinking that if I stay with him long enough,
08:26maybe he'll find himself again because I really love the man who he used to be.
08:31Do you love him now?
08:34Lily bit her bottom lip.
08:36I don't know.
08:37I'd be lying if I didn't admit that sometimes I just feel like a caretaker in our relationship.
08:43He's so closed off these days.
08:45It feels like the romance is completely gone, and I know that if I were to ever talk to
08:50him about it directly, I would lose him even more.
08:53I love him, but I don't know if I'm in love with him anymore.
08:58Rachel nodded.
08:59You could have any man.
09:01You're stunning, kind, and killing it at your job.
09:05Have you thought about getting a divorce?
09:07You shouldn't stay with someone because you pity them.
09:11I don't pity him.
09:12I just wish that he could be the man who he used to be.
09:15Honestly, I don't want to talk about this right now.
09:18I spend my entire day putting out fires at work.
09:21The last thing in the world that I want to do is put them out at home.
09:25Rachel paused.
09:27Of course, that makes sense.
09:29But what's going on at work?
09:31You seem more stressed than usual.
09:34Lily sighed.
09:35My company received a new contract last month, and there was an error in the calculation
09:40of the data.
09:42Our products did not meet the requirements, so we need to compensate them with $7 million.
09:47My company's funds are not going to be able to turn around, which means that I need to
09:51get at least $4 million of investment in a week.
09:55Otherwise, my company will most likely go bankrupt.
09:59I can't do that to my employees.
10:02Rachel's eyes widened.
10:03How are you supposed to find someone willing to invest $4 million in less than a week?
10:09Since then, Lily turned around and saw Kevin standing in the hallway.
10:13With a tear falling down her soft cheek, Lily whispered,
10:16Kevin, I'm sorry to say this, but Rachel and I need some privacy.
10:21Can you please give me some space?
10:24Feeling distraught over his wife's pain, Kevin slowly nodded.
10:27Of course.
10:28I'll go back to the bedroom.
10:30It was good to see you, Rachel.
10:32Rushing back to his room, Kevin promised himself,
10:35I have to help her.
10:37I will prove to Lily that I am the man who she married,
10:40not the shell of a human being who I've been these past two years.
10:44I'm going to create my own empire.
10:47Taking out his cell phone, Kevin gasped when he saw that he had over 10 missed calls from
10:52his grandfather's estate.
10:54Looking at the screen, Kevin asked himself,
10:57Why did my grandpa call me so many times?
11:00He hasn't called me in over two years.
11:02The last time we spoke, he kicked me out of the family.
11:06I wonder if he knows about the money.
11:10Kevin saw his grandpa's name flash on his screen.
11:13Taking a deep breath, he read the message.
11:16Kevin, I was wrong about you.
11:19Your family needs you.
11:21I know all about your recent success with Orion Corporation and we need that money in
11:26order to save the family line.
11:28If you don't help us, the Williams family will collapse completely.
11:34Kevin looked at the message in a daze.
11:36Just two years ago, his family had kicked him out because of his investment in Orion
11:40Corporation.
11:41They had left him with nothing just days before his wedding.
11:46And now because of the same investment, his grandpa was asking him to help the Williams
11:50family.
11:52This feels like a sick joke.
11:54Kevin sighed.
11:56As he was thinking, his phone vibrated again with a message from the same number.
12:00Kevin, we've lost everything.
12:03After a few bad investments, we're going bankrupt.
12:06Please, save us with your new money.
12:09If you do, I promise that I will find a way to make it up to you.
12:13You will be a member of the Williams family again.
12:16Don't you want to be the man who you used to be?
12:20Remembering his wife's desire for him to be his old self, Kevin nodded and texted back.
12:26I'll meet you tomorrow.
12:28And grandpa, we have a lot to discuss.
