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.
00:36:46I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:36:51I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:36:56I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:37:01I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:37:06I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:37:11Is this necklace even real?
00:37:21Hey. Hey.
00:37:41I have meant every word I've said to you.
00:37:46None of this is a lie.
00:37:51And this necklace?
00:37:56My mother left it to me before she died.
00:38:01She said that I should only give it to someone I care about.
00:38:06I'm falling for you Stella Evans.
00:38:11I have been since the moment I met you.
00:38:16I'm falling for you Stella Evans.
00:38:21I have been since the moment we met.
00:38:26I'm falling for you Stella Evans.
00:38:31I'm falling for you Stella Evans.
00:38:36I have been since the moment we met.
00:38:41I don't know how I feel right now.
00:38:46Today's just been a lot and my mind is all over the place.
00:38:51You're right.
00:38:56I'll see you soon.
00:39:01Stay here and I'll tell everybody the wedding is off.
00:39:06Excellent.
00:39:11A runaway bride is an even bigger scandal than a love child.
00:39:16This must be a record brother.
00:39:21Two fiancés down.
00:39:26At least this one made it to the altar.
00:39:31Hi everyone. Sorry to keep you waiting but there won't be...
00:39:36Any more interruptions.
00:39:41Okay, let's try this again.
00:39:46Okay, let's try this again.
00:39:51Okay, let's try this again.
00:39:56Okay, let's try this again.
00:40:01Okay, let's try this again.
00:40:06Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
00:40:11Marriage is powerful in ways you'd never expect.
00:40:16It's something that makes you feel lucky to be alive exactly when and where you are.
00:40:21It's choosing your partner at every moment of every day
00:40:26and of learning how to love even the darkest parts of another person.
00:40:31A true partner stays with you through thick and thin, in sickness and in health,
00:40:36for better or worse, for richer or poorer, on death do you part.
00:40:41Aston, do you take Stella to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:40:46I do.
00:40:51And Stella, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:40:56Stella, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:41:11I do.
00:41:16Good. You may kiss the bride now.
00:41:26I'd like to congratulate my eldest son on his marriage today
00:41:31and to announce that he's going to be taking over Montgomery Enterprises
00:41:36as my successor and CEO tomorrow.
00:41:41This is bullshit. CEO should be mine.
00:41:46This is your fault, you little bitch.
00:41:51This is your fault, you little bitch.
00:41:56I hope that hurt.
00:42:01Not as much as this girl.
00:42:06What the hell?
00:42:11You ruined my suit!
00:42:16Baby!
00:42:21You're just going to stand there and let him do that?
00:42:26You're right. I should have stopped him before the slap.
00:42:31Let's get out of here before the bell starts to ring.
00:42:36Whoa.
00:42:41Are you okay?
00:43:06Are you okay?
00:43:11Are you okay?
00:43:16Are you okay?
00:43:21Are you okay?
00:43:26Are you okay?
00:43:31Are you okay?
00:43:36Are you okay?
00:43:41Are you okay?
00:43:46Are you okay?
00:43:51Are you okay?
00:43:56Are you okay?
00:44:01Are you okay?
00:44:06Are you okay?
00:44:11Are you okay?
00:44:16Are you okay?
00:44:21Are you all right?
00:44:26Are you all right?
00:44:31Are you all right?
00:44:42Are you okay?
00:44:47He barely got me
00:44:52So husband, what should we do next?
00:45:07I have wanted you since the moment we met mrs. Montgomery
00:45:17I
00:45:33Don't leave now, I won't be able to stop myself. I'm tearing you out of that dress
00:45:43So I wanted you to stop
00:45:47I
00:45:58Can't eat I can't sleep I can't work without thinking about you
00:46:05Without imagining this
00:46:09You want me
00:46:17Forgetful
00:46:44Still a help
00:46:47I
00:47:01Don't know what happened one minute. She was breathing in the next thing she
00:47:10It's okay, she's okay now see
00:47:17I
00:47:23That's the most terrified I've ever been in my life
00:47:27That's because she's your baby girl and you love her
00:47:32What if I can't do this on my own what if I can't raise an entire human being
00:47:47You
00:47:57You're not alone you have me
00:48:06It's the private investigator you might have information who Emma's mom is
00:48:17You
00:48:26Mom I wanted to let you know that I went through with the wedding. Mm-hmm, and I brought you a picture
00:48:35I even wore your dress Stella. Oh, you're so beautiful
00:48:43I'm so glad you found someone to take care of you after my car
00:48:51What are you talking about
00:48:59What's this
00:49:01Clinical trial, but it cost ten million dollars
00:49:05Something like that could save my mom
00:49:08But how am I ever gonna get that much money?
00:49:10There you are
00:49:14Everything okay. Yep. What are you doing?
00:49:23I have to take a paternity test
00:49:26What are you doing I have to take a paternity test
00:49:40I have to take a paternity test. I
00:49:48Guess we'll know soon if I'm Emma's father
00:49:52Well, they got the footage from the office the day I most dropped off
00:49:57But the woman who was there I
00:49:59Don't recognize her
00:50:03So you just forgot someone you slept with
00:50:07That wasn't a good time in my life and I made a lot of bad decisions
00:50:14But I've changed you've changed me
00:50:20Which is
00:50:21Why I need you to come with me to the board meeting today
00:50:24You keep me grounded
00:50:29Of course I'll go with you
00:50:36Today is about more than my retirement
00:50:39it's about the future of Montgomery Enterprise a
00:50:43Future that will be ripped to shreds if you allow your lying son to become CEO. What are you talking about?
00:50:54You you're not the mother of his child
00:51:01You're not the mother of his child you're lying they're both lying to all of you
00:51:11Stella Evans
00:51:14Ten o'clock interview with Ashton Montgomery for the executive assistant position
00:51:21Looks like he offered a different job to her altogether
00:51:25This man would go so far as to marry a complete stranger in order to become your CEO. I
00:51:32Don't know how much he's paying you but it must be a lot
00:51:36If this is true son, you're an embarrassment to this family and this company
00:51:44What can't proceed with a vote
00:51:46You
00:51:49It's true
00:51:51Stella was there to interview that day
00:51:53me
00:51:54To see if I was up for the challenge to raising our daughter, but this isn't about my personal life
00:52:00This is about what's best for Montgomery Enterprises going into the future
00:52:04And since I've become CEO, I have more than doubled our profits and if that's not enough for you, then I don't know what is
00:52:10It
00:52:14Doesn't matter what you say mom already promised me the position of CEO would be mine enough
00:52:23We will vote now
00:52:26Is there a vote for Clive
00:52:31And for Aston
00:52:41It's a tie so it all comes down to my father
00:52:47And I have decided
00:52:52The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises is
00:53:02The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises is
00:53:06Aston Montgomery
00:53:12What about me I've looked at the financials
00:53:16You've spent more time at the country club than in the boardroom. It's not my fault. Their Cobb salads are excellent
00:53:24The boardroom is boring
00:53:26The boardroom is boring
00:53:35Congratulations Aston the new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises
00:53:39But make me doubt anything else and I'll rip everything away from you too without hesitation
00:53:56I
00:54:04Hate every page of the HR handbook. It's a good thing. You never gave me that job
00:54:18We can't somebody could walk in so so remember what your dad said can't afford another skindle
00:54:27Aston
00:54:32The board would like to see you to go over some financials, of course
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
00:55:07This baby isn't Clive's it's Aston's
00:55:19What the hell are you talking about that baby cannot be Aston's well
00:55:23We clearly couldn't tell you until the roosters 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
00:55:53You
00:56:02I
00:56:05Don't believe you believe us and then go ahead open that desk drawer
00:56:23Oh my god, he signed the divorce papers Clarissa's telling the truth
00:56:38You can go now
00:56:50Sweet
00:56:53I miss you so much
00:56:56What's going on I'm saying goodbye to Emma and then I'm out of here just like you want me to be
00:57:08So, why are you packing here I signed up you don't have to worry about me anymore
00:57:13What are you talking about? Come 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
00:57:24Congratulations on the baby. I hope you and Clarissa really happy together
00:57:29wait
00:57:37Wait
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
00:57:56I'm not even the father of a child and these I have these drawn up the day
00:58:00I met you before I knew this could be anything more than a contract
00:58:04And this just just just take it
00:58:08Please just take everything out. All I want is you and Emma I could take or leave it
00:58:14You don't mean that of course, I mean it I have met 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 are you?
00:58:46Yes
00:58:50The paternity results are
00:59:10The paternity results are
00:59:21I
00:59:23Can't believe I'm not a 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 I
00:59:39Can't tell you why this is happening Aston, but I'm as lucky to have you as a dad
00:59:47Biological or not
00:59:50We need to find the truth
00:59:57Dahlia's behind it all
01:00:04I'm not telling you and this isn't a game Dahlia. She's a child. Where did Emma come from?
01:00:10Step down to see you
01:00:13Step down to CEO and I'll tell you are you kidding me? This is way bigger than a CEO position
01:00:19This is a child's life. You're messing with shut up
01:00:23You little trail you hadn't come along pretending to be her mother
01:00:28The scandal would have proceeded as planned and that little child would be back at the orphanage right where she belonged
01:00:36That's right the baby's trash just like you
01:00:50My hair
01:01:06You better get control of your little wife or nothing
01:01:12You will not speak about my wife or my family that way
01:01:15Get out
01:01:28Call every orphanage in the city until you find one that's missing a baby
01:01:35Oh
01:01:49My god, did she just call me mama? She's yours if you want her to be
01:01:58I want to be but until we figure out what's going on. I can't get attached
01:02:06I
01:02:14What can you say about the recent allegations that miss Evans is not the mother of your son's child, thank you
01:02:28What's going on the press is having a field day out I
01:02:33Told you to no more scandals. What are you talking about? I
01:02:38Went out on a limb for you son. I trusted you and this has been a lie the whole time
01:02:45You say she's the mother your child prove it I'll expect you to step down as CEO tomorrow morning
01:02:54How do we prove it
01:02:57Simple take a maternity test
01:03:02I
01:03:28Got
01:03:30Aston
01:03:32If I take a maternity test, they're gonna know that I'm is not mine and then we may lose her
01:03:38No
01:03:45You should never fight in the first place
01:04:00Oh
01:04:06Right, it's so warm
01:04:18Heart was racing. I was so scared
01:04:30Yeah
01:04:42Hey
01:04:44My mom's getting worse
01:04:48She needs this experimental treatment, but we can't afford it so
01:04:54Why didn't you tell me I
01:04:57I didn't want to be a burden to you. You can never be a burden. How much does the treatment cost?
01:05:10Ten million dollars, I'll pay it every penny
01:05:22I'll pay it every penny
01:05:26Aston like I said money doesn't matter. I would do anything for you anything for our family
01:05:36Thank you, you have no idea what this means to me
01:05:50How do you always know just what to say to make me feel better
01:05:54Because I know you
01:05:56I know what you want. I know what you need
01:05:58That's what happens to someone when you
01:06:04When you when you what?
01:06:09When you love someone and I love you Stella Evans
01:06:20And I love you Stella Evans
01:06:26I

01:06:45Please tell me you feel the same
01:06:53I
01:06:55Don't know what I'm feeling. It's all just it's too much. I
01:07:03Understand

01:07:22I see. Thank you
01:07:45A year ago. I gave up my baby girl. I
01:07:49I
01:07:51Had no choice and it broke my heart
01:07:54Chances are almost impossible, but I have to know
01:07:58Could Emma be my daughter?
01:08:11Well, I'd like to schedule a maternity test
01:08:19I
01:08:25Hey Stella, do you everything? Okay fine
01:08:36You seem off
01:08:43I'm just stressed. I
01:08:46I
01:08:48Just can't stop thinking about Emma's mother and how our lives could come crashing down over some maternity time then 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 it's all I'm worried about you mean more to me than this CEO position
01:09:10He's trying to help but if Emma somehow mine I can save Aston's job and his reputation
01:09:18just
01:09:20Don't do anything rash. Okay
01:09:22We still have till tomorrow to figure it out. I
01:09:29Need to ask
01:09:31Does the name Andrew Beaumont mean anything to you?
01:09:34No, should it
01:09:37Well, he paid for your mother's treatment all 10 million
01:09:56Mom who's Andrew Beaumont?
01:10:04Oh
01:10:06How do you know about him he paid for your treatment who is he

01:10:52It's all my fault if I wouldn't push her no Stella it is not your fault I
01:10:57I
01:11:00Know I know and I know she's sick. I just wish there was something I could do. She's with the doctors now
01:11:06She's getting the treatment she needs
01:11:09It'll all be fine
01:11:12No matter how much you keep blaming yourself, I'll say it again
01:11:18It's not your fault
01:11:27You
