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