Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Billionaire from Montgomery Enterprises, Aston Montgomery, was known for his corporate ruthlessness.
00:00:21Stella Evans?
00:00:22You didn't even graduate from college?
00:00:29Mr. Montgomery is your love child.
00:00:33You said there'd be no more scandals.
00:00:34No, father, there are no scandals.
00:00:35Me, my fiance, and the mother of my child, until my father signs the company over to
00:00:36me, then I will pay you $5 million.
00:00:37Fine, but only because my rent's already overdue.
00:00:38It's hard to believe you had a baby less than a year ago.
00:00:51The Montgomerys don't associate with peasants.
00:00:54Touch my wife again, I will end you.
00:00:55No, my baby!
00:00:56Maybe life with Aston won't be so bad after all.
00:01:01I would do anything for you, anything for our family.
00:01:05Aston isn't the man you think he is, whatever feelings you're thinking they have.
00:01:10I love you, Stella Evans.
00:01:12It's all just one big lie.
00:01:14I have meant every word I have said to you.
00:01:18I'm in, Stella.
00:01:19I'm all in.
00:01:20Are you?
00:01:27You have to be prepared.
00:01:33I don't have, mom.
00:01:37I'm not going to let you die, mom.
00:01:43You're going to beat this cancer.
00:01:50Danny, what are you doing?
00:01:58What does it look like I'm doing?
00:02:01Your rent's late.
00:02:02It didn't.
00:02:03It's two days late, and you said it wouldn't be an issue.
00:02:11I changed my mind.
00:02:13So, unless you want to pay up with that tight little lot of yours.
00:02:18You're out by tomorrow morning.
00:02:23Please.
00:02:24You know my mom's cancer treatments are expensive, and I've never been late before.
00:02:29Oh, stop it.
00:02:33You should have thought of that before dumping me.
00:02:37I'll get you the money.
00:02:39I have a job interview today, and the signing bonus will be more than enough to cover it.
00:02:44Just give me 24 hours.
00:02:48And you better get that job.
00:02:51Tick-tock, cupcake.
00:03:06Billionaire financer Robert Montgomery has announced his retirement from Montgomery Enterprises this morning,
00:03:13the company he built five decades ago.
00:03:16His successor is presumed to be Aston Montgomery, his eldest son and heir,
00:03:21who is known not only for his playboy ways, but his corporate ruthlessness.
00:03:27Stella Evans?
00:03:31Come with me.
00:03:35So, you don't have any corporate experience, and you didn't even graduate from college?
00:03:44Well, something came up at home, and I couldn't.
00:03:48I'm not running a charity, Ms. Evans.
00:03:50I'm sorry, but I can't hire you.
00:03:52Please.
00:03:53I really need the money.
00:03:57So do 400 other applicants.
00:04:00What makes you so special?
00:04:03My mom and I are about to get evicted.
00:04:06I really need this money.
00:04:09Look, I'm sorry, but I can't help you.
00:04:13This interview is over.
00:04:19Hey, you can't just walk away from me, you entitled prick!
00:04:24What did you say to me?
00:04:26You heard me, just because you think you're better than me.
00:04:29What did you say to me?
00:04:30You heard me, just because you think you're better than everyone else.
00:04:40Shut up.
00:04:47No, you...
00:04:54What is that doing in my office?
00:05:00Can I see that?
00:05:09That, Mr. Montgomery, is your love child.
00:05:29I'm a father.
00:05:33What do I do?
00:05:36You said you needed a job.
00:05:39Help me.
00:05:48God, stop crying.
00:05:50Mom!
00:05:57I can't believe that worked.
00:05:59See, you didn't need my help after all.
00:06:09So the rumors are true.
00:06:11I'm a grandfather.
00:06:13No, father, this is not...
00:06:14The board will never let an irresponsible playboy lead the company.
00:06:18You said there'd be no more scandals.
00:06:21I have no choice but to turn the company over to your brother, Clive.
00:06:25No, father, there are no scandals.
00:06:29Father, this is Stella.
00:06:33My fiance and the mother of my child.
00:06:36What the fuck?
00:06:44Excuse me?
00:06:45You expect me to believe this low-class woman is your fiance?
00:06:49Do not speak about her that way.
00:06:51I love her.
00:06:53And I'm tired of hiding it.
00:06:56Right, honey?
00:07:00Please go with it.
00:07:08Right.
00:07:09Even in secret, Aston is a wonderful fiance.
00:07:15On the outside, he's a...
00:07:19hardened businessman, but on the inside, he's a total sweetheart.
00:07:24Well, only for you.
00:07:27You saw through it the moment we met.
00:07:31Don't mistake me for a fool, son.
00:07:33If I find out you're lying,
00:07:36I will strip you of the company and your inheritance,
00:07:39and you'll have nothing left.
00:07:48Okay. We need to figure this out.
00:07:51We? Oh, there is no we. I am so out of here.
00:07:54No, you can't go. I need you.
00:08:01You're a billionaire. You can have any woman.
00:08:04Why me?
00:08:05You said you needed money, right?
00:08:07I happen to have a lot of it.
00:08:11Be my fiance and the mother of my child
00:08:14until my father signs the company over to me.
00:08:17Then I will pay you $5 million.
00:08:20We can go our separate ways, and we will never see each other again.
00:08:23$5 million could change everything.
00:08:25It could help me save my mom.
00:08:27Do we have a deal, Ms. Evans?
00:08:35Fine. But only because my rent's overdue and I need you to pay it.
00:08:39Done.
00:08:43I'll have my assistant wire the money today.
00:08:46And you're mine.
00:08:48Starting right now.
00:08:51Mr. Montgomery! Mr. Montgomery!
00:08:53Excuse me, sir! Excuse me!
00:08:55Why are you trying to keep this under wraps, sir?
00:08:57Step aside!
00:08:58Mr. Montgomery, how did you hide your fiance and child for so long?
00:09:01Ms. Evans, did you let this baby on purpose to trap him?
00:09:05Don't! Ignore me, bitch.
00:09:08Be a good girl.
00:09:10You're a good girl.
00:09:12You're a good girl.
00:09:14You're a good girl.
00:09:16You're a good girl.
00:09:19Be a good girl.
00:09:21Get off of her!
00:09:23Come on, sweetheart. You're just a little gold digger, aren't you?
00:09:35You want a quote? Fine.
00:09:37Our engagement announcement was ruined by some grabby asshole with a camera.
00:09:44And one more thing.
00:09:46Touch my fiance again, I'll break more than just your camera.
00:09:49Sir! Sir!
00:09:51Can we answer our questions, please?
00:09:53You cannot ignore us, Mr. Montgomery.
00:09:55Come on now, Mr. Montgomery.
00:10:11This place is beautiful.
00:10:15So what do we do now?
00:10:18Simple.
00:10:20We do what fiances do.
00:10:35Look at me.
00:10:45What the hell was that?
00:10:47This is part of the deal.
00:10:49We have to sell it.
00:10:51I have someone looking into where Emma came from.
00:10:53It should all be sorted out soon.
00:10:55What will be sorted, brother?
00:10:57Clive?
00:10:59Welcome home.
00:11:01This fiance and baby certainly came out of nowhere, didn't they?
00:11:05What are you doing here, Clive?
00:11:07I came to meet my niece and...
00:11:10What are you doing here, Clive?
00:11:12I came to meet my niece and soon-to-be sister-in-law, you know.
00:11:16Since it all happened so fast.
00:11:20Stella...
00:11:22Evans, is it?
00:11:25And what trash barrel did you crawl out of?
00:11:30The trash barrel I crawled out of is none of your business.
00:11:34Oh, contraire, mon chéri.
00:11:37It's most definitely my business.
00:11:40The Montgomerys don't associate with peasants.
00:11:43Bad for business.
00:11:44Leave her alone!
00:11:46For what?
00:11:48Care to find out?
00:11:52Care to find out?
00:11:55So, my playboy brother does have feelings.
00:11:59And for a low-class gold digger, no less.
00:12:03Be careful.
00:12:05It's only a matter of time before he dumps you and that baby back into the gutter where you came from.
00:12:16She's cute.
00:12:20Looks just like you, brother.
00:12:29Get away from our baby and get out of our house!
00:12:32Fine.
00:12:34There's something weird going on here, and I'll find out what it is.
00:12:37The CEO position will be mine.
00:12:40And the first thing I'll do is fire you, brother.
00:12:55Is everyone in your family like that?
00:12:58My half-brother is just the tip of the iceberg.
00:13:01So keep your guard up.
00:13:07I have a few things I have to do.
00:13:10Your room is upstairs.
00:13:14What have I gotten myself into?
00:13:17At least I'll be able to take care of my mom when this is all over.
00:13:21If there's anything you need while I'm gone, just call.
00:13:24But the nurse will take care of you.
00:13:26How did you get the money for a nurse?
00:13:28It's so expensive.
00:13:31I got a job. Don't worry about me.
00:13:37I gotta go. I'll see you soon.
00:13:51Holy hot.
00:13:55Huh.
00:13:58See something you like?
00:14:03I...
00:14:06Miss Evans?
00:14:08Everything okay?
00:14:12Emma needs us.
00:14:15Right behind you.
00:14:24What's wrong with her?
00:14:27Hey. Hey. Hey.
00:14:30There you go.
00:14:33Good job, baby girl.
00:14:35How did you do that?
00:14:37She just wanted to be held.
00:14:39You should hold her.
00:14:40Oh, I don't know about that.
00:14:42She's your daughter.
00:14:44She probably wants you more than anyone else.
00:14:48Trust me. I wish my dad was around.
00:14:51I've never held a baby before, and she's so little, I don't want to hurt her.
00:15:00Okay. Baby steps.
00:15:03Say goodnight to your daughter.
00:15:14Goodnight, Emma.
00:15:22Phone rings.
00:15:27It's the private investigator.
00:15:29The sooner I find out who Emma's mom is, the better.
00:15:33Emma.
00:15:49Did the private chef make all this?
00:15:52No.
00:15:54I did.
00:15:57A playboy billionaire who cooks.
00:16:00Maybe I misjudged you.
00:16:02Not such a prick after all, huh?
00:16:05Maybe life with Aston won't be so bad after all.
00:16:11But back to business.
00:16:15My family is coming over for dinner tonight.
00:16:20They want to meet you.
00:16:22Your family?
00:16:23Aston, I can't.
00:16:24Oh, you can.
00:16:26And you will.
00:16:33This is part of the deal.
00:16:36If you want the money, everyone has to believe that you're my fiancée and the mother of my child, starting with my family.
00:16:43Phone rings.
00:16:47Mom?
00:16:49Mom?
00:16:51Can you hear me?
00:16:53My mom's in trouble.
00:16:57Phone rings.
00:17:00Danny, what are you doing?
00:17:03I paid you.
00:17:05Well, I changed my mind when I heard you were shacking up with some billionaire.
00:17:14Don't touch those.
00:17:16It's all we have. Without them, she'll die.
00:17:19Well, now that you've come into some money, you can pay me more.
00:17:23Two years rent should do it.
00:17:26She'll pay you what she owes you, not a cent more.
00:17:34Is this your billionaire boyfriend?
00:17:37Actually, he's my fiancée.
00:17:41And he's rich and powerful.
00:17:45He has a bigger dick than you.
00:17:49Shh.
00:17:52You really think you're good enough for him?
00:17:55I only fucked you because I felt sorry for you and your dying child.
00:18:05Stella is more than good enough for me. If you touch her again, I will kill you.
00:18:11Those are for my fiancée. And this one's for me.
00:18:19Stella?
00:18:21Mom!
00:18:23Mom!
00:18:25Hey.
00:18:27Stella, you took my medicine.
00:18:31I have it right here, Mrs. Evans.
00:18:36I have it right here, Mrs. Evans.
00:18:40That man will never bother you again. I will make sure of it.
00:18:47And I'm sending someone for your things. They're coming to live with us.
00:18:59Thank you for helping me with my mom.
00:19:03That wasn't part of the deal.
00:19:10Not everything I do has to be about our deal, Stella.
00:19:21Still, thank you.
00:19:25And I'm sorry for calling you a prick earlier.
00:19:28Why? I can be a prick.
00:19:32And I really want to be.
00:19:36Speaking of our deal, be ready by 7 p.m. for the family dinner.
00:19:41But I have nothing to wear.
00:19:46I'll take care of that.
00:20:02Okay.
00:20:23I hoped you'd pick the red. You look beautiful.
00:20:27Thank you. I'm still debating what shoes to wear, though.
00:20:31Allow me.
00:21:02There's one thing missing.
00:21:11There's one thing missing.
00:21:18A ring.
00:21:21May I?
00:21:25It's beautiful, but it's too much.
00:21:30It's only for appearances. Nothing more.
00:21:34Please wear it.
00:21:45Shall we?
00:21:55Okay.
00:22:07You ready to sell this?
00:22:15Asked in a word.
00:22:19It'll take a moment.
00:22:24Go.
00:22:27I'll be fine.
00:22:42Stella! How nice of you to join us.
00:22:46This is the woman who trapped our Aston with a bastard child.
00:22:52Funny. It's hard to believe that you had a baby less than a year ago.
00:22:57Mother, be nice. I'm sure Stella's...
00:23:02trying her best.
00:23:06Oh, I didn't know Aston had a sister.
00:23:11Sister? No. I'm Clarissa.
00:23:16Aston's ex-fiancé.
00:23:23Oh, God. Is she pregnant with Aston's baby?
00:23:30No wonder Aston didn't introduce you earlier. You're nothing like me.
00:23:35And thank God for that. Stella would never cheat on me and get knocked up by my brother.
00:23:40At least we didn't hide our child from the entire family.
00:23:45That's right. Where even is my step-grandbaby?
00:23:51You see, Robert, he's as negligent a father as he would be a CEO.
00:23:56She's with the nanny. To keep her from the judgment of people like you.
00:24:00All that matters is our judgment. And bringing in this peasant certainly doesn't help your case.
00:24:07Excuse me? Who are you calling peasant?
00:24:11Being rich doesn't mean you can walk all over me.
00:24:16How dare you talk back to me like that!
00:24:21You can't even control your worthless fiancé.
00:24:26You'll never be good enough to be CEO.
00:24:31Aston is the only person who should run Montgomery Enterprises.
00:24:36Anyone else's CEO would be a mistake. Especially your son.
00:24:47You have upset my fiancé and I won't stand for that.
00:24:51Dinner is cancelled! Get out of my house!
00:24:56Now.
00:24:59I'm sorry if I was out of line.
00:25:04No. Thank you for defending me.
00:25:09You didn't have to do that.
00:25:14Of course I did.
00:25:19I'm your fiancé.
00:25:24I never should have brought you into this.
00:25:29It's not fair to you.
00:25:34I'll pay you what I owe you. Just take the money and go, Stella.
00:25:39What's going to happen to you and Emma?
00:25:44Don't worry about us.
00:25:49I do worry about you.
00:25:54I care about you both.
00:25:59This contract between us is over.
00:26:04What contract?
00:26:09What contract?
00:26:14I told you what would happen if I caught you lying.
00:26:19We're not lying.
00:26:24Prove it.
00:26:29We were just talking about a prenup.
00:26:34Aston wants me to sign one to protect your family.
00:26:39I see.
00:26:51You've saved me twice in the last 20 minutes.
00:26:56You are not what I expected.
00:27:01What did you expect?
00:27:06Not you.
00:27:11Why are you looking at me like you want to kiss me?
00:27:16Because I do want to kiss you.
00:27:21Because I do want to kiss you.
00:27:26It's all I've thought about since you put on that red dress.
00:27:32We probably shouldn't complicate this whole fake relationship thing.
00:27:37Especially since we're not actually getting married.
00:27:42You're right.
00:27:47We'll break off this engagement as soon as possible and we'll both get everything we want.
00:28:02I have some good news.
00:28:07You're getting married.
00:28:12Tomorrow.
00:28:17Congratulations.
00:28:22By this time tomorrow you'll officially be husband and wife.
00:28:27Tomorrow?
00:28:32Unless there's some sort of problem with getting married tomorrow.
00:28:37It's just we're not in a rush.
00:28:42But the board is.
00:28:47A child out of wedlock is a scandal and one that must be remedied immediately.
00:28:52That won't be a problem.
00:29:02Married? That wasn't part of the deal.
00:29:07I know. But would it be so bad being married to me?
00:29:12No.
00:29:17It's just this isn't exactly how I pictured getting married.
00:29:27It takes some time to think about it.
00:29:32But I need an answer tonight.
00:29:42Mom.
00:29:47How did you know when you were ready to get married?
00:29:52I don't think anybody ever is ready.
00:29:57Truly. Your father and I certainly weren't.
00:30:02You weren't?
00:30:07Too young even.
00:30:12But your father made me feel the way I'd never felt before.
00:30:17He made me feel loved. Valued.
00:30:22Whole.
00:30:27But it didn't even work out.
00:30:32It ended before I was born.
00:30:37Just because something doesn't last
00:30:42doesn't mean you can't enjoy it while you have it.
00:30:47Plus, your father gave me you.
00:30:52Which is more than enough.
00:30:57I can't deny it. I want to marry Aston. Even if it's temporary.
00:31:02He and Emma are my family.
00:31:07It would break my heart when it's all over.
00:31:17She just went down.
00:31:22Look, I know this isn't what you wanted.
00:31:27And you deserve to marry someone who truly cares about you.
00:31:32So if you want to walk away now,
00:31:37I won't blame you.
00:31:42So, do you have an answer for me?
00:31:50So, do you have an answer for me?
00:31:55I do.
00:32:00Aston, look at me.
00:32:05I never thought I would get married as part of a contract, but I said I'd help you.
00:32:15It means a lot to me.
00:32:20I have to say I'm surprised Aston is going through with this.
00:32:25I definitely thought that he would have dumped you by now.
00:32:30He probably will once he sees her in that rag.
00:32:35I'm surprised your Prince Charming didn't buy you something better.
00:32:40He clearly doesn't care about you.
00:32:45Aston cares about me, and I don't need a dress to prove it.
00:32:50Are you sure if he really loved you,
00:32:55he would have given you his mother's ring?
00:33:00Is that what he gave you, Clarissa?
00:33:05No, but that's only because I wanted something bigger.
00:33:10From Mr. Montgomery, Foy's fiancée.
00:33:15I'm sorry.
00:33:20I'm sorry.
00:33:25From Mr. Montgomery, Foy's fiancée.
00:33:30Oh my God, it's gorgeous.
00:33:35That's the late Mrs. Montgomery's necklace. That's supposed to be mine.
00:33:40I am under strict orders to allow nobody but Ms. Evans near this necklace.
00:33:45Especially you.
00:33:50Ugh!
00:34:08You look like the future Mrs. Montgomery.
00:34:13I do. If only this were real.
00:34:21I know that you and Aston are lying about your relationship.
00:34:26So if you know what's best, you won't go through with this wedding.
00:34:31Aston isn't who you think he is.
00:34:36So if you know what's best, you won't go through with this wedding.
00:34:41Aston isn't who you think he is.
00:34:46So if you know what's best, you won't go through with this wedding.
00:34:51Aston isn't the man you think he is.
00:34:56Whatever money you think you might be getting.
00:35:01Whatever feelings you think he may have.
00:35:06It's all just one big lie.
00:35:11Thank you for the advice.
00:35:16But I don't need it. I can handle myself.
00:35:21And nothing you say can scare me.
00:35:26Say no to Aston in front of everyone, or I'll make sure you regret it.
00:35:31Your choice, Stella Evans.
00:35:36Don't make the wrong one.
00:35:41You look beautiful.
00:35:46Hey. Is everything okay?
00:35:51Is it true?
00:35:56Is Aston just using me to get what he wants?
00:36:01No.
00:36:06Is everything okay?
00:36:11Is it true?
00:36:16Is Aston just using me to get what he wants?
00:36:21Is he just using Emma?
00:36:26You take Aston to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:36:31I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:36:36I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:36:41I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:36:46What the hell was that about?
00:36:51This is all fake, Aston?
00:36:56Every word you're telling me, every look you're giving me, is it all just some charade?
00:37:01Jesus! Is this necklace even real?
00:37:06God!
00:37:11Is this necklace even real?
00:37:13God.
00:37:15Oh, God.
00:37:17Oh, God.
00:37:19Oh, God.

00:37:43Oh, God.
00:37:45I have meant every word I've said to you.
00:37:47None of this is a lie.
00:37:49None of this is a lie.
00:37:51And this necklace?
00:37:53My mother left it to me before she died.
00:37:55My mother left it to me before she died.
00:37:57She said, uh,
00:37:59that I should only give it to someone I care about.
00:38:01that I should only give it to someone I care about.
00:38:03Someone I saw a future with.

00:54:35of course
00:54:50Knock, knock!
00:54:53Clarissa, if you're here to bully me, I am not in the mood.
00:54:56That's not why I'm here. I'm here as a courtesy.
00:55:00You deserve the truth, and clearly Aston isn't going to give it to you.
00:55:08This baby isn't Clive's.
00:55:11It's Aston's.
00:55:20What the hell are you talking about? That baby cannot be Aston's.
00:55:23Well, we clearly couldn't tell you until the ruse was over, until he became CEO.
00:55:28But now that it's all over, and Aston got what he wanted, we don't need you anymore.
00:55:35He doesn't need you anymore.
00:55:50I don't believe you.
00:56:07Believe Aston, then. Go ahead. Open that desk drawer.
00:56:21Oh my god, he's signed the divorce papers.
00:56:27Clarissa's telling the truth.
00:56:38You can go now.
00:56:50Sweet Emma, I'm going to miss you so much.
00:56:56What's going on?
00:56:58I'm saying goodbye to Emma, and then I'm out of here. Just like you want me to be.
00:57:08Stella, why are you packing?
00:57:10Here, I signed them. You don't have to worry about me anymore.
00:57:13What are you talking about?
00:57:14Come on, Aston! You used me to get everything you wanted!
00:57:18I was a fool to think we could ever be together, that we could ever have a family together!
00:57:22Oh, and by the way, congratulations on the baby!
00:57:26I hope you and Clarissa are really happy together.
00:57:29Wait!
00:57:36Wait!
00:57:41Please, let me explain.
00:57:47What could you possibly have to say to me?
00:57:52There is nothing and will never be anything between me and Clarissa ever again.
00:57:57I'm not even the father of her child.
00:57:58And these? I had these drawn up the day I met you before. I knew this could be anything more than a contract.
00:58:04And this? Just take it!
00:58:08Please, just take everything out. All I want is you and Emma. I could take or leave anything else.
00:58:14You don't mean that.
00:58:15Of course I mean it!
00:58:17I have meant every word I have said to you!
00:58:21I'm in, Stella! I'm all in!
00:58:24Are you?
00:58:30I'm in, Stella! I'm all in!
00:58:33Are you?
00:58:39Yeah, I'm all in.
00:58:40I'm all in.
00:58:46Yes.
00:58:55The paternity results are in.
00:58:59I'm not Emma's father.
00:59:10The paternity results are in.
00:59:14I'm not Emma's father.
00:59:23I can't believe I'm not her father.
00:59:28If she doesn't belong to me, then why would that woman have shown up at my office and made me believe she was mine?
00:59:34She was mine!
00:59:40I can't tell you why this is happening, Aston.
00:59:43But Emma's lucky to have you as a dad.
00:59:47Biological or not.
00:59:50We need to find the truth.
00:59:58Dolly is behind it all.
01:00:04I'm not telling you anything.
01:00:06This isn't a game, Dahlia.
01:00:08She's a child. Where did Emma come from?
01:00:10Step down as CEO and I'll tell you.
01:00:17Step down as CEO and I'll tell you.
01:00:20Are you kidding me?
01:00:22This is way bigger than a CEO position.
01:00:24This is a child's life you're messing with.
01:00:27Shut up, you little tramp!
01:00:29If you hadn't come along pretending to be her mother, the scandal would have proceeded as planned.
01:00:36And that little child would be back at the orphanage, right where she belonged.
01:00:41Orphanage?
01:00:43That's right. The baby's trash, just like you.
01:00:59My hair!
01:01:06Aston McGovern, you better get control of your little wife or...
01:01:10Or nothing!
01:01:12You will not speak upon my wife or my family that way.
01:01:15Get out.
01:01:17I'm going to be right back.
01:01:29Call every orphanage in the city until you find one that's missing a baby.
01:01:42It's okay.
01:01:44It's okay, we're gonna figure this out.
01:01:46Oh my god, did she just call me mama?
01:01:51She's yours if you want her to be.
01:01:52I don't want to be, but until we figure out what's going on, I can't get attached.
01:02:03I understand.
01:02:04Mr. Montgomery!
01:02:05Mr. Montgomery!
01:02:06Mr. Montgomery!
01:02:07What can you say about the recent allegations that Ms. Evans is not the mother of your son's
01:02:18child?
01:02:20Mr. Montgomery!
01:02:21You can't ignore us, Mr. Montgomery!
01:02:29What's going on?
01:02:30The press is having a field day out here.
01:02:33I told you to.
01:02:34No more scandals!
01:02:35What are you talking about?
01:02:38I went out on a limb for you, son.
01:02:40I trusted you.
01:02:42And this has been a lie the whole time?
01:02:45You say she's the mother of your child?
01:02:47Prove it, or I'll expect you to step down as CEO tomorrow morning.
01:02:52How do we prove it?
01:02:57Simple.
01:02:59Take a maternity test.
01:03:06This has to be something else.
01:03:08This is not going to work.
01:03:11Get out of here.
01:03:12Get out of here.
01:03:13Come on, Aston.
01:03:14Okay.
01:03:15Aston, if I take a maternity test, they're gonna know that Emma's not the mother of your
01:03:17child.
01:03:18I'm not going away Mr. Moe, I'm not going away.
01:03:23Come on now.
01:03:25Woah, woah, woah.
01:03:27Okay.
01:03:29Aston, if I take a maternity test they're gonna know that Emma's not mine and then we may lose her.
01:03:37Forever.
01:03:38No.
01:03:44We should have never lied in the first place.
01:03:48Ah, ah.
01:03:51Mom, mom.
01:03:56Ah.
01:03:57My mom is dying.
01:04:04My head is so warm.
01:04:07It's okay.
01:04:17My heart was racing.
01:04:19I was so scared.
01:04:22It's okay.
01:04:26It's okay.
01:04:27It's all gonna be okay.
01:04:41Hey.
01:04:43My mom's getting worse.
01:04:47She needs this experimental treatment but we can't afford it so.
01:04:53Why didn't you tell me?
01:04:57I didn't want to be a burden to you.
01:04:59You can never be a burden.
01:05:02How much does the treatment cost?
01:05:09Ten million dollars.
01:05:12I'll pay it.
01:05:13Every penny.
01:05:17Aston.
01:05:18Like I said.
01:05:20Money doesn't matter.
01:05:21I would do anything for you.
01:05:22Anything for our family.
01:05:29You have no idea what this means to me.
01:05:39I'm sorry.
01:05:41I'm sorry.
01:05:43I'm sorry.
01:05:45I'm sorry.
01:05:48How do you always know just what to say to make me feel better?
01:05:53Because I know you.
01:05:55I know what you want.
01:05:56I know what you need.
01:05:58That's what happens to someone when you...
01:06:03When you...
01:06:05When you what?
01:06:08When you love someone.
01:06:11And I love you.
01:06:12Stella Evans.
01:06:18You love me?
01:06:22I do.
01:06:25I can't believe it's taken me so long to say it.
01:06:32Please tell me you feel the same.
01:06:36I do.
01:06:38I do.
01:06:40I do.
01:06:42I do.
01:06:44I do.
01:06:45I do feel the same.
01:06:55I don't know what I'm feeling.
01:06:57It's all just...
01:06:58It's too much.
01:07:03I understand.
01:07:12Hi, I'd like to pay a bill for Mary Evans.
01:07:16It has?
01:07:19By who?
01:07:23I see.
01:07:45A year ago, I gave up my baby girl.
01:07:51I had no choice and it broke my heart.
01:07:53The chances are almost impossible, but I have to know.
01:07:57Could Emma be my daughter?
01:08:10Hello?
01:08:12I'd like to schedule a maternity test.
01:08:24Hey, Stella, do you...
01:08:28Everything okay?
01:08:29Fine.
01:08:35You seem...
01:08:37Off.
01:08:43I'm just stressed.
01:08:44I just...
01:08:48I just can't stop thinking about Emma's mother and how our lives could come crashing down over some maternity test.
01:08:54Then don't take it.
01:08:56What?
01:08:58No, I can't ask you to do that. That's not fair to you.
01:09:03Don't worry about what's fair to me.
01:09:04It's all I'm worried about.
01:09:07You mean more to me than this CEO position.
01:09:10He's trying to help, but...
01:09:12If Emma's somehow mine, I can save Aston's job and his reputation.
01:09:18Just...
01:09:19Don't do anything rash, okay?
01:09:22We still have until tomorrow to figure it out.
01:09:28I need to ask.
01:09:31Does the name Andrew Beaumont mean anything to you?
01:09:35No.
01:09:37Should it?
01:09:39Well...
01:09:41He paid for your mother's treatment.
01:09:43All...
01:09:44Ten million.
01:09:58Mom?
01:10:00Who's Andrew Beaumont?
01:10:06How do you know about him?
01:10:09He paid for your treatment.
01:10:11Who is he?
01:10:16Mom?
01:10:18Mom?
01:10:20Mom!
01:10:21Someone call a doctor!
01:10:23Mom!
01:10:40I spoke with the doctors.
01:10:45She's been put in a medically induced coma until the swelling in her brain subsides.
01:10:51It's all my fault if I wouldn't have pushed her.
01:10:54No, Estella. It is not your fault.
01:10:59I know. I know. And I know she's sick. I just wish there was something I could do.
01:11:04She's with the doctors now.
01:11:06She's getting the treatment she needs.
01:11:09It'll all be fine.
01:11:11No matter how much you keep blaming yourself.
01:11:14I'll say it again.
01:11:17It's not your fault.
01:11:40Okay, Emma.
01:11:42Time to learn the truth.

01:12:19handing the company over to his half-brother, Clive Montgomery,
01:12:22in the wake of a paternity scandal.
01:12:24in the wake of a paternity scandal.
01:12:33Oh my God. I can save him.
01:12:40Do you have anything to say about this?
01:12:43Ma'am, how do you answer the allegation?
01:12:45What do you say about the allegations and accusations against you?
01:12:48Mr. Montgomery, you do understand that not forcing your wife to take a maternity test is an admission of guilt, right?
01:12:55Which means you've been lying. To everyone.
01:12:59Wait! We're not lying. I took the test. I have the results right here.
01:13:10I have the results right here.
01:13:12Over here, ma'am. Ma'am, come on. Don't be childish, ma'am.
01:13:15Hey! You know how much I'm willing to pay for those?
01:13:18Not enough. Trust me.
01:13:21Over here, ma'am. Ma'am, come on. Don't be childish, ma'am.
01:13:26Over here, ma'am.
01:13:28You took the maternity test? Why?
01:13:30Aston, there's something I need to tell you.
01:13:32Show us the results, sweetheart. Prove your husband's not lying.
01:13:41I don't owe anyone proof. Believe me or don't. But I am Emma's mother.
01:13:46I believe you.
01:13:47Don't even think about it, Dahlia.
01:13:56This is so sweet. If only it mattered.
01:14:03You're too late, Stella. Aston already stepped down.
01:14:16You already stepped down?
01:14:18Yes. To protect you. To protect Emma.
01:14:21Aston, you were fine. All you've ever wanted to do is be seen.
01:14:24To be a great husband to you and a great father to Emma.
01:14:28That's all that matters to me. We can figure out the rest.
01:14:31It looks like you're working for me now, brother.
01:14:36I own the company now. Which means I own you.
01:14:42Not quite.
01:14:46I just received an offer from Montgomery Enterprises.
01:14:49One that I couldn't refuse.
01:14:52Meet our buyer.
01:14:55Andrew Beaumont.
01:15:02Stella's father.
01:15:09Stella, you look just like your mother.
01:15:13You look just like your mother.
01:15:18This is ridiculous.
01:15:20You're trying to tell me that Stella's related to a billionaire?
01:15:25She's nothing but a piece of trash.
01:15:27Don't speak about my daughter that way.
01:15:30Your daughter? How dare you call me that?
01:15:34You left Mom and I.
01:15:36No. Stella, I never left you.
01:15:40Your mother, she kicked me out.
01:15:44Because I wasn't the husband or the father that I needed to be.
01:15:48But I'm here now.
01:15:51To make it up to you.
01:15:53This company belongs to me.
01:15:55Not this low class peasant bitch.
01:15:58Ow! My baby!
01:16:01Damn, that felt good.
01:16:04Get out of my office or I'll have you arrested for assault.
01:16:08Actually, the office belongs to my daughter now.
01:16:13As does the company.
01:16:16What?
01:16:21I'm the CEO of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:16:31I'm the CEO of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:16:38Oh yes. Which means you get to decide how we get rid of Clive.
01:16:47You're fired. Effective immediately.
01:16:50You can't do that.
01:16:52Montgomery Enterprises belongs to her.
01:16:55She can do whatever she wants.
01:17:04This can't be happening.
01:17:08I planned everything perfectly.
01:17:12That little orphan would have made the perfect scandal if not for Stella interfering.
01:17:18And you!
01:17:20You were supposed to convince that little bitch that you were pregnant with Aston's baby.
01:17:25But no!
01:17:27You failed and fucked us all.
01:17:30I didn't. I didn't.
01:17:34Clive, Clarissa, get the hell out of my office.
01:17:37You too, Dahlia. Get out!
01:17:39You can't kick me out. I'm Robert's wife.
01:17:44Not anymore. I want a divorce.
01:17:49What? This is not...
01:17:52Do you have any sleep?
01:18:04I always thought she looked just like you when she was sleeping.
01:18:11I never thought I'd see her again.
01:18:15I never wanted to give her up, but...
01:18:19When mom got sick and the medical bills, I just...
01:18:24I knew we couldn't afford it.
01:18:28That's all in the past.
01:18:32But I want to talk about our future.
01:18:38How would you feel about one more?
01:18:43This house is pretty big. Why stop at one?
01:18:48I like the way you think.
01:19:13So, what's your first order of business as CEO?
01:19:19Well, since I've already violated the employee handbook...
01:19:23Twice.
01:19:28I was thinking we could talk business.
01:19:32No one knows more about Montgomery Enterprises than you.
01:19:36I was hoping you might show me the ropes.
01:19:40I'd be happy to.
01:19:45Let's violate the handbook one more time.
01:20:07I'm sorry.
01:20:09I'm sorry.
01:20:11I'm sorry.
01:20:13I'm sorry.
01:20:15I'm sorry.
01:20:17I'm sorry.
01:20:19I'm sorry.
01:20:21I'm sorry.
01:20:23I'm sorry.
01:20:25I'm sorry.
01:20:27I'm sorry.
01:20:29I'm sorry.
01:20:31I'm sorry.
01:20:33I'm sorry.
01:20:35I'm sorry.
01:20:48I'm pregnant.
01:21:00Hey.
01:21:02Your mother and I were just catching up.
01:21:06I still can't believe this.
01:21:10Forgive me for not telling you about your father sooner.
01:21:14When I got sick, I decided to write him.
01:21:18Forgiving him.
01:21:21I never thought you would.
01:21:25And...
01:21:28I hope you can forgive me too.
01:21:32I love you.
01:21:38You've been missing from my life for years.
01:21:41It's going to take more than money to earn my forgiveness.
01:21:46I understand.
01:21:48And I'd really like to get to know you better.
01:21:52And my grandbaby.
01:21:58Which one?
01:22:03You.
01:22:06Stella!
01:22:12Aston, your assistant called and said it was an emergency.
01:22:17Stella Evans?
01:22:19Yes.
01:22:24Come with me.
01:22:33The last time I heard those words, I got roped into a fake marriage.
01:22:39Well, this time...
01:22:42I'm hoping you'll say yes to a real one.
01:22:55Aston, is that your mother's ring?
01:22:58It is.
01:23:01And you're the only person who's ever been worthy of it.
01:23:06Stella Evans, ever since you stepped into my office, you have changed the course of my life.
01:23:11You have given me a beautiful child.
01:23:14Children?
01:23:17I'm pregnant.
01:23:23I want forever with you.
01:23:25No deals, no schemes.
01:23:28Just us.
01:23:31Will you marry me?
01:23:40I can't.
01:23:48It's just, we've done this whole thing backwards.
01:23:51I want us to take our time.
01:23:54Okay.
01:23:56I can be patient.
01:23:59But when you're ready for forever, let me know.
01:24:03Because I'm all in, Stella Evans.
01:24:26you
