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