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.
00:00:37Then I will pay you five million dollars.
00:00:38Fine, but only because my rent's already overdue.
00:00:39It's hard to believe you had a baby less than a year ago.
00:00:52Montgomerys 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, I'm all in.
00:01:19Are you?
00:01:26You have to be prepared, I don't have long.
00:01:45I'm not going to let you die, Mom.
00:01:46You're going to beat this cancer.
00:01:47Danny, what are you doing?
00:01:49What does it look like I'm doing?
00:01:59Your rent's late, you're digging it.
00:02:08It's two days late, and you said it wouldn't be an issue.
00:02:14So, unless you want to pay up with that tight little lot of yours, you're out by tomorrow morning.
00:02:24Please, you know my mom's cancer treatments are expensive, and I've never been late before.
00:02:30Oh, stop it! 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.
00:02:48Then you better get that job.
00:02:51Tick-tock, cupcake.
00:02:54Sorry.
00:03:06Billionaire financer Robert Montgomery has announced his retirement from Montgomery Enterprises this morning,
00:03:12the company he built five decades ago.
00:03:15His successor is presumed to be Aston Montgomery, his eldest son and heir,
00:03:20who is known not only for his playboy ways, but his corporate ruthlessness.
00:03:27Stella Evans?
00:03:31Come with me.
00:03:40So, you don't have any corporate experience, and you didn't even graduate from college?
00:03:47Well, something came up at home, and I couldn't.
00:03:51I'm not running a charity, Ms. Evans. I'm sorry, but I can't hire you.
00:03:55Please, I really need the money.
00:04:00So do 400 other applicants. What makes you so special?
00:04:07My mom and I are about to get evicted. I really need this money.
00:04:13Look, I'm sorry, but I can't help you.
00:04:18This interview is over.
00:04:24Hey, you can't just walk away from me, you entitled prick.
00:04:29What did you say to me?
00:04:31You 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?
00:05:09That, Mr. Montgomery, is your love child.
00:05:18I love you.
00:05:30I'm a father.
00:05:34What? What do I do?
00:05:37You said you needed a job. Help me.
00:05:48God, he's still crying.
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. I'm a grandfather.
00:06:12No, Father, this is...
00:06:14The board will never let an irresponsible playboy lead the company.
00:06:18You said there'd be no more scandals.
00:06:22I have no choice but to turn the company over to your brother, Clive.
00:06:25No, Father, there are no scandals.
00:06:30Father, this is Stella.
00:06:33My fiance and the mother of my child.
00:06:36What the fuck?
00:06:44Excuse me?
00:06:46You expect me to believe this low-class woman is your fiance?
00:06:50Do not speak about her that way.
00:06:52I love her.
00:06:54And I'm tired of hiding it.
00:06:57Right, honey?
00:07:01Please go with it.
00:07:08Right!
00:07:10Even in secret, Aston is a wonderful fiance.
00:07:15On the outside, he's a...
00:07:19...tardened businessman.
00:07:22But on the inside, he's a total sweetheart.
00:07:25Well, only for you.
00:07:27You saw through it the moment we met.
00:07:31Don't mistake me for a fool, son.
00:07:34If 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?
00:08:06You said you needed money, right?
00:08:08I 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,
00:08:22and we will never see each other again.
00:08:24$5 million could change everything.
00:08:26It could help me save my mom.
00:08:28Do we have a deal, Ms. Evans?
00:08:31Fine.
00:08:33But only because my rent's overdue and I need you to pay it.
00:08:36Done.
00:08:40I'll have my assistant wire the money today.
00:08:43And you're mine.
00:08:45Starting right now.
00:09:01Mr. Montgomery! Mr. Montgomery!
00:09:03Excuse me! Excuse me!
00:09:05Why are you trying to keep this under wraps?
00:09:07Step aside! Mr. Montgomery!
00:09:09How did you hide your fiance and child for so long?
00:09:11Ms. Evans, did you have this baby on purpose to trap him?
00:09:15Don't! Ignore me, bitch.
00:09:18Be a good girl.
00:09:20Give me your watch. Get off of her!
00:09:23Come on, sweetheart. You're just a little gold digger, aren't you?
00:09:27Come out!
00:09:29It's nice to meet her!
00:09:31Mr. Montgomery! Mr. Montgomery!
00:09:33Excuse me!
00:09:35You want a quote? Fine.
00:09:38Our 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.
00:09:55Mr. Montgomery! Mr. Montgomery!
00:10:11This place is beautiful.
00:10:15So what do we do now?
00:10:18Simple.
00:10:20We do what fiancés do.
00:10:26Look at me.
00:10:41What the hell was that?
00:10:43This is part of the deal.
00:10:45We have to stop this.
00:10:47I'm sorry.
00:10:49I'm sorry.
00:10:51I'm sorry.
00:10:53This is part of the deal.
00:10:55We have to sell it.
00:10:57I have someone looking into where Emma came from.
00:10:59It should all be sorted out soon.
00:11:01What will be sorted, brother?
00:11:03Clive?
00:11:05Welcome home.
00:11:07This fiancé and baby certainly came out of nowhere, didn't they?
00:11:11What are you doing here, Clive?
00:11:13I came to meet my niece and soon-to-be sister-in-law, you know.
00:11:17Since it all happened so fast.
00:11:20Stella Evans, 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.
00:11:45Leave her alone!
00:11:46For what?
00:11:48Care to find out?
00:11:52Care to find out?
00:11:56So, 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.
00:12:12Oh.
00:12:15She'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.
00:12:33But there'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.
00:13:05I have a few things I have to do.
00:13:08Your room is upstairs.
00:13:13What have I gotten myself into?
00:13:16At least I'll be able to take care of my mom when this is all over.
00:13:19If there's anything you need while I'm gone, just call.
00:13:22But the nurse will take care of you.
00:13:24How did you get the money for a nurse?
00:13:26It's so expensive.
00:13:28I...
00:13:29I got a job.
00:13:31Don't worry about me.
00:13:33Don't worry about me.
00:13:37I gotta go. I'll see you soon.
00:13:51Holy hot.
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?
00:14:26Hey, baby. Hey.
00:14:31There you go.
00:14:33Good job, baby girl.
00:14:35How did you do that?
00:14:37She just wanted to be held.
00:14:39We 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.
00:15:27It's the private investigator.
00:15:29The sooner I find out who Emma's mom is, the better.
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 perk after all, huh?
00:16:05Maybe life with Aston won't be so bad after all.
00:16:12But back to business.
00:16:15My family is coming over for dinner tonight.
00:16:20They want to meet you.
00:16:22Your family? Aston, I can't...
00:16:24Oh, you can.
00:16:26And you will.
00:16:35This is part of the deal.
00:16:37If you want the money, everyone has to believe that you're my fiancé and the mother of my child, starting with my family.
00:16:48Mom?
00:16:50Mom!
00:16:52Can you hear me?
00:16:54My mom's in trouble.
00:17:01Danny, 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!
00:17:16That'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.
00:17:35Is this your billionaire boyfriend?
00:17:37Actually, he's my fiancé.
00:17:41And he's rich and powerful.
00:17:45He has a bigger dick than you.
00:17:50Shhh.
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.
00:18:06Stella is more than good enough for me. If you touch her again, I will kill you.
00:18:10Fuck.
00:18:16Those were for my fiancé. And this one's for me.
00:18:23Stella?
00:18:25Mom!
00:18:27Mom!
00:18:29Hey, hey.
00:18:31Stella?
00:18:32Stella, you took my medicine.
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.
00:19:31When I really want to be.
00:19:35Speaking of our deal, be ready by 7 p.m. for the family dinner.
00:19:40But I have nothing to wear.
00:19:44I'll take care of that.
00:20:04I'm sorry.
00:20:24I hoped you'd pick the red. You look beautiful.
00:20:30I'm still debating what shoes to wear, though.
00:20:32Allow me.
00:21:03There's one thing missing.
00:21:11There's one thing missing.
00:21:18A ring.
00:21:21May I?
00:21:26Aspen, it's beautiful, but it's too much.
00:21:32It's only for appearances, nothing more.
00:21:35Please wear it.
00:21:46Shall we?
00:22:02You ready to sell this?
00:22:11Aspen, a word.
00:22:15It'll take a moment.
00:22:19Go.
00:22:22I'll be fine.
00:22:31I'll be fine.
00:22:43Stella, how nice of you to join us.
00:22:46This is the woman who trapped our Aspen with a bastard child.
00:22:53Funny, it's hard to believe that you had a baby less than a year ago.
00:22:58Be nice. I'm sure Stella's trying her best.
00:23:06Oh, I didn't know Aspen had a sister.
00:23:11Sister? No, I'm Clarissa.
00:23:16Aspen's ex-fiancé.
00:23:21Oh, God. Is she pregnant with Aspen's baby?
00:23:29No wonder Aspen didn't introduce you earlier. You're nothing like me.
00:23:33And thank God for that.
00:23:35Stella would never cheat on me and get knocked up by my brother.
00:23:39At least we didn't hide our child from the entire family.
00:23:42That's right. Where even is my stepmother?
00:23:47Where 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.
00:24:03And bringing in this peasant certainly doesn't help your case.
00:24:08Excuse me? Who are you calling peasant?
00:24:11Being rich doesn't mean you can walk all over me.
00:24:15How dare you talk back to me like that?
00:24:22You can't even control your worthless fiancé.
00:24:25You'll never be good enough to be CEO.
00:24:31Aspen is the only person who should run Montgomery Enterprises.
00:24:35Anyone else's CEO would be a mistake.
00:24:38Especially your son.
00:24:45You have upset my fiancé and I won't stand for that.
00:24:49Dinner is cancelled. Get out of my house.
00:24:55Now.
00:25:15I'm sorry if I was out of line.
00:25:17No. Thank you for defending me.
00:25:21You didn't have to do that.
00:25:24Of course I did.
00:25:28I'm your fiancé.
00:25:34I never should have brought you into this.
00:25:38It's not fair to you.
00:25:41I'll pay you what I owe you. Just...
00:25:46Take the money and go, Stella.
00:25:48What's going to happen to you and Emma?
00:25:50Don't worry about us.
00:25:51I do worry about you.
00:25:55I care about you both.
00:25:56I'm sorry, Stella, but...
00:25:59This contract between us is over.
00:26:04What contract?
00:26:12What contract?
00:26:18I told you what would happen if I caught you lying.
00:26:21We're not lying.
00:26:23Prove it.
00:26:28We were just talking about a prenup.
00:26:31Aspen wants me to sign one to protect your family.
00:26:35I think it's admirable.
00:26:39I see.
00:26:51You've saved me twice in the last 20 minutes.
00:26:57You're not what I expected.
00:27:00What did you expect?
00:27:03I don't know.
00:27:07Not you.
00:27:12Why are you looking at me like you want to kiss me?
00:27:16Because I do want to kiss you.
00:27:24Because I do want to kiss you.
00:27:27It's all I've thought about since you put on that red dress.
00:27:36We probably shouldn't complicate this whole fake relationship thing.
00:27:41Especially since we're not actually getting married.
00:27:46You're right.
00:27:48We'll break off this engagement as soon as possible and we'll both get everything we want.
00:28:07I have some good news.
00:28:09You're getting married.
00:28:11Tomorrow.
00:28:20Congratulations.
00:28:22By this time tomorrow, you'll officially be husband and wife.
00:28:26Tomorrow?
00:28:29Unless there's some sort of problem with getting married tomorrow.
00:28:33It's just...
00:28:35We're not in a rush.
00:28:37But the board is.
00:28:39A child out of wedlock is a scandal.
00:28:43And one that must be remedied immediately.
00:28:47I hope that won't be a problem.
00:28:58Married?
00:29:01Married?
00:29:03That wasn't part of the deal.
00:29:05I know.
00:29:08But would it be so bad being married to me?
00:29:17No.
00:29:19It's just...
00:29:21This isn't exactly how I pictured getting married.
00:29:32It takes some time to think about it.
00:29:36But I need an answer tonight.
00:29:48Mom.
00:29:50How did you know when you were ready to get married?
00:29:54I don't think anybody ever is ready, truly.
00:30:00I mean, your father and I certainly weren't.
00:30:02You weren't?
00:30:04No.
00:30:05We were young.
00:30:07Too young, even.
00:30:11But your father made me feel the way I'd never felt before.
00:30:15He made me feel loved.
00:30:17Valued.
00:30:20Whole.
00:30:31But...
00:30:33It didn't even work out.
00:30:35It ended before I was born.
00:30:39Just because something doesn't last
00:30:42doesn't mean you can't enjoy it while you have it.
00:30:51Plus, your father gave me you,
00:30:55which is more than enough.
00:30:59I can't deny it.
00:31:01I want to marry Aston, even if it's temporary.
00:31:04He and Emma are my family.
00:31:07It'll break my heart when it's all over.
00:31:19She just went down.
00:31:23Look, I know this isn't what you wanted.
00:31:26Look, I know this isn't what you wanted.
00:31:29And you deserve to marry someone who truly cares about you.
00:31:34So...
00:31:37If you want to walk away now, I won't blame you.
00:31:43So...
00:31:45Do you have an answer for me?
00:31:50So...
00:31:52Do you have an answer for me?
00:31:54I do.
00:31:58Aston, look at me.
00:32:03I never thought I would get married as part of a contract,
00:32:06but I said I'd help you, and I'll keep my word.
00:32:14It means a lot to me.
00:32:20I have to say I'm surprised Aston is going through with this.
00:32:23I definitely thought that he would have dumped you by now.
00:32:26He probably will once he sees her in that rag.
00:32:30It was my mother's wedding dress.
00:32:32Of course it was.
00:32:34Only a poor person would wear something like that.
00:32:36I'm surprised your Prince Charming didn't buy you something better.
00:32:39He clearly doesn't care about you.
00:32:46Aston cares about me, and I don't need a dress to prove it.
00:32:50Are you sure?
00:32:52If he really loved you, he would have given you his mother's ring.
00:33:00Are you sure?
00:33:02If he really loved you, he would have given you his mother's ring.
00:33:16Is that what he gave you, Clarissa?
00:33:19No, but that's only because I wanted something bigger.
00:33:27From Mr. Montgomery, for his fiancée.
00:33:31Oh my God, it's gorgeous.
00:33:35That's the late Mrs. Montgomery's necklace.
00:33:39That's supposed to be mine.
00:33:41I am under strict orders to allow nobody but Ms. Evans near this necklace.
00:33:48Especially you.
00:34:08You look like the future Mrs. Montgomery.
00:34:13I do.
00:34:15If only this were real.
00:34:32I know that you and Aston are lying about your relationship.
00:34:37So, if you know what's best, you won't go through with this wedding.
00:34:41Aston isn't who you think he is.
00:34:45Whatever money you think you might be getting.
00:34:48Whatever feelings you think he may have.
00:34:52It's all just one big lie.
00:34:54Your vision of the future is not the reality.
00:35:02I'm sorry.
00:35:04I'm sorry.
00:35:06I'm sorry.
00:35:08I'm sorry.
00:35:10I'm sorry.
00:35:13Thank you for the advice.
00:35:16But I don't need it.
00:35:18I can handle myself.
00:35:20And nothing you say can scare me.
00:35:26Say no to Aston in front of everyone.
00:35:29Or I'll make sure you regret it.
00:35:32Your choice, Stella Evans.
00:35:34Don't make the wrong one.
00:35:42I'm sorry.
00:36:03You look beautiful.
00:36:05Hey.
00:36:07Is everything okay?
00:36:09Is it true?
00:36:10Is he just using me to get what he wants?
00:36:12Is he just using Emma?
00:36:14Dearly beloved.
00:36:16We are gathered here today to join this man and woman in holy matrimony.
00:36:21Marriage is powerful in a way.
00:36:23You take Aston to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:36:36I'm sorry. I can't marry you.
00:36:41I'm sorry. I can't marry you.
00:36:57What the hell was that about?
00:36:59Is this all fake, Aston?
00:37:01Every word you're telling me?
00:37:03Every look you're giving me?
00:37:04Is it all just some charade?
00:37:06Every word you're telling me?
00:37:07Every look you're giving me?
00:37:08Is it all just some charade?
00:37:10Jesus.
00:37:11Is this necklace even real?
00:37:14God.
00:37:21Hey.
00:37:23Hey.
00:37:36Hey.
00:37:45I have meant every word I've said to you.
00:37:49None of this is a lie.
00:37:52And this necklace?
00:37:56My mother left it to me before she died.
00:37:58She said, uh,
00:38:00that I should only give it to someone I care about.
00:38:03Someone I saw a future with.
00:38:23I'm falling for you, Stella Evans.
00:38:26I have been since the moment I met you.
00:38:28I'm falling for you, Stella Evans.
00:38:31I have been since the moment I met you.
00:38:41I don't know how I feel right now.
00:38:43Today's just been a lot, and
00:38:46my mind is all over the place.
00:38:49You're right.
00:38:50This wedding's way too much, too soon.
00:38:53You're right.
00:38:54This wedding's way too much, too soon.
00:38:58Stay here and
00:39:00I'll tell everybody the wedding is off.
00:39:10Excellent.
00:39:11A runway bride is an even bigger scandal than a love child.
00:39:23This must be a record, brother.
00:39:25Two fiancées down.
00:39:27At least this one made it to the altar.
00:39:31Hi, everyone.
00:39:32Sorry to keep you waiting, but
00:39:34there won't be
00:39:35Any more interruptions.
00:39:38Who's ready for a wedding?
00:39:53Okay, let's try this again.
00:39:56Dearly beloved,
00:39:57we are gathered here today
00:39:59to join this man and this woman
00:40:01in holy matrimony.
00:40:03Marriage is powerful in ways you'd never expect.
00:40:06It's something that makes you feel lucky to be alive
00:40:09exactly when and where you are.
00:40:12It's a gift.
00:40:14It's a gift.
00:40:15It's a gift.
00:40:16It's a gift.
00:40:18It's a gift.
00:40:19It's a gift.
00:40:20It's a gift.
00:40:21It's a gift.
00:40:23It's choosing your partner
00:40:24at every moment, of every day
00:40:27and of learning how to love
00:40:29even the darkest parts of another person.
00:40:32A true partner stays with you
00:40:33through thick and thin
00:40:34in sickness and in health
00:40:36for better or worse
00:40:38for richer or poorer
00:40:40undeath to you part.
00:40:42Aston.
00:40:43Do you take Stella to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:40:47I do.
00:40:49And Stella?
00:40:50Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:40:53♪♪
00:41:01Stella, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:41:05♪♪
00:41:14I do.
00:41:16Good.
00:41:17You may kiss the bride now.
00:41:19♪♪
00:41:31I'd like to congratulate my eldest son on his marriage today.
00:41:35And to announce that he's going to be taking over Montgomery Enterprises
00:41:40as my successor and CEO tomorrow.
00:41:44This is bullshit.
00:41:46CEO should be mine.
00:41:49Ugh.
00:41:51This is your fault, you little bitch.
00:41:53Why? What's wrong?
00:41:55I hope that hurt.
00:41:57Not as much as this girl.
00:41:59You're my baby!
00:42:02Not as much as this girl.
00:42:04You're my baby!
00:42:06Oh!
00:42:08What the hell?
00:42:09You ruined my suit!
00:42:10You touch my wife again, I will end you.
00:42:12Now get the hell out of my wedding.
00:42:14♪♪
00:42:20Baby!
00:42:21You're just going to stand there and let him do that?
00:42:24You're right.
00:42:26I should have stopped him before the slap.
00:42:28Let's get out of here before the bell starts to ring.
00:42:31♪♪
00:42:39Whoa.
00:42:41Are you okay?
00:42:43♪♪
00:42:53♪♪
00:43:13♪♪
00:43:23♪♪
00:43:33♪♪
00:43:43♪♪
00:43:53♪♪
00:44:03♪♪
00:44:13♪♪
00:44:23♪♪
00:44:33♪♪
00:44:43♪♪
00:44:45I'm fine.
00:44:47He barely got me.
00:44:49♪♪
00:44:52So, husband, what should we do next?
00:44:58♪♪
00:45:07I have wanted you since the moment we met.
00:45:11This is my gun, right?
00:45:13♪♪
00:45:18♪♪
00:45:27Are you going?
00:45:29♪♪
00:45:32If I don't leave now,
00:45:35I won't be able to stop myself
00:45:37from tearing you out of that dress.
00:45:40♪♪
00:45:42Is that I wanted you to stop?
00:45:45♪♪
00:45:52Since the moment I met you,
00:45:54you have consumed my everything.
00:45:57I can't eat.
00:45:59I can't sleep.
00:46:00I can't work without thinking about you,
00:46:04without imagining us.
00:46:06♪♪
00:46:09Do you want me?
00:46:10♪♪
00:46:12More than anything.
00:46:14♪♪
00:46:24♪♪
00:46:34♪♪
00:46:44Stella, help!
00:46:46♪♪
00:46:51The baby's not breathing.
00:46:53♪♪
00:47:01I don't know what happened.
00:47:02One minute she was breathing
00:47:03and then she...
00:47:05Thank God.
00:47:07Hey.
00:47:09Hey.
00:47:10It's okay.
00:47:11She's okay now, see?
00:47:13Hi.
00:47:14It's okay.
00:47:16♪♪
00:47:23That's the most terrified
00:47:24I've ever been in my life.
00:47:27That's because she's your baby girl
00:47:28and you love her.
00:47:32What if I can't do this on my own?
00:47:35What if I can't raise
00:47:36an entire human being?
00:47:38♪♪
00:47:57You're not alone.
00:47:58You have me.
00:48:02♪♪
00:48:06It's the private investigator.
00:48:08He might have information
00:48:09on who Emma's mom is.
00:48:11♪♪
00:48:26Mom, I wanted to let you know
00:48:28that I went through with the wedding
00:48:30and I brought you a picture.
00:48:35I even wore your dress.
00:48:38Stella.
00:48:41Oh, you're so beautiful.
00:48:45I'm so glad you found someone
00:48:47to take care of you after...
00:48:49Oh, God.
00:48:53What are you talking about?
00:48:55♪♪
00:49:00What's this?
00:49:02A clinical trial?
00:49:04But it cost $10 million?
00:49:06Something like that could save my mom.
00:49:09But how am I ever gonna get
00:49:10that much money?
00:49:12♪♪
00:49:18There you are.
00:49:22Everything okay?
00:49:24Yep.
00:49:26What are you doing?
00:49:31I have to take a paternity test.
00:49:35♪♪
00:49:41I have to take a paternity test.
00:49:47I guess we'll know soon
00:49:48if I'm Emma's father.
00:49:50If?
00:49:52Well, they got the footage
00:49:53from the office the day
00:49:54Emma was dropped off.
00:49:56But the woman who was there,
00:49:59I don't recognize her.
00:50:03So you just forgot someone
00:50:04you slept with?
00:50:07That wasn't a good time in my life.
00:50:10And I made a lot of bad decisions.
00:50:14But I've changed.
00:50:16You've changed me.
00:50:19Which is why I need you
00:50:22to come with me
00:50:23to 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
00:50:37than my retirement.
00:50:39It's about the future
00:50:40of Montgomery Enterprise.
00:50:42A future that will be
00:50:44ripped to shreds
00:50:45if you allow your lying son
00:50:48to become CEO.
00:50:50What are you talking about?
00:50:54You.
00:50:56You're not the mother
00:50:57of his child.
00:51:01You're not the mother
00:51:02of his child.
00:51:04You're lying.
00:51:06They're both lying
00:51:07to all of you.
00:51:11Stella Evans.
00:51:14Ten o'clock interview
00:51:15with Ashton Montgomery
00:51:17for the executive
00:51:18assistant position.
00:51:21Looks like he offered
00:51:22a different job to her
00:51:23altogether.
00:51:25This man would go so far
00:51:27as to marry a complete stranger
00:51:29in order to become your CEO.
00:51:32I don't know how much
00:51:33he's paying you,
00:51:34but it must be a lot.
00:51:36If this is true, son,
00:51:38you're an embarrassment
00:51:39to this family
00:51:40and this company.
00:51:44The board can't proceed
00:51:45with a vote.
00:51:49It's true.
00:51:51Stella was there
00:51:52to interview that day.
00:51:53Me.
00:51:54To see if I was up
00:51:55for the challenge
00:51:56to raising our daughter.
00:51:58But this isn't about
00:51:59my personal life.
00:52:00This is about what's best
00:52:01for Montgomery Enterprise's
00:52:02going into the future.
00:52:04And since I've become COO,
00:52:05I have more than doubled
00:52:07our profits.
00:52:08And if that's not enough
00:52:09for you,
00:52:11it doesn't matter what you say.
00:52:14Mom already promised me
00:52:15the position of CEO
00:52:16would be mine.
00:52:18Enough.
00:52:21We will vote now.
00:52:24Is there a vote for Clive?
00:52:30And for Aston?
00:52:41It's a tie.
00:52:43So it all comes down
00:52:44to my father.
00:52:47And I have decided.
00:52:53The new CEO
00:52:54of Montgomery Enterprises
00:52:57is...
00:53:02The new CEO
00:53:03of Montgomery Enterprises
00:53:05is...
00:53:08Aston Montgomery.
00:53:14What about me?
00:53:15I've looked at the financials.
00:53:17You've spent more time
00:53:18at the country club
00:53:19than in the boardroom.
00:53:21It's not my fault
00:53:22their Cobb salads are excellent.
00:53:26And the boardroom is boring.
00:53:32Come on.
00:53:34Congratulations, Aston.
00:53:36The new CEO
00:53:37of Montgomery Enterprises.
00:53:39But make me doubt anything else
00:53:41and I'll rip everything
00:53:42away from you two
00:53:43without hesitation.
00:53:59So what's your first act as CEO?
00:54:03I violate every page
00:54:04of the HR handbook.
00:54:05That's a good thing
00:54:06you never gave me that job.
00:54:13I need you.
00:54:18We can't.
00:54:19Somebody could walk in.
00:54:20So?
00:54:21So what?
00:54:22Remember what your dad said?
00:54:23We can't afford another scandal.
00:54:30Aston.
00:54:32The board would like to see you
00:54:33to go over some financials.
00:54:35Of course.
00:54:49Knock, knock.
00:54:53Clarissa, if you're here to bully me
00:54:54I am not in the mood.
00:54:56That's not why I'm here.
00:54:58I'm here as a courtesy.
00:55:00You deserve the truth
00:55:01and clearly Aston
00:55:02isn't going to give it to you.
00:55:07This baby isn't Clive's.
00:55:10It's Aston's.
00:55:19What the hell are you talking about?
00:55:21That baby cannot be Aston's.
00:55:22Well, we clearly couldn't tell you
00:55:23until the roost was over.
00:55:25Until he became CEO.
00:55:27But now that it's all over
00:55:29and Aston got what he wanted
00:55:31we don't need you anymore.
00:55:35He doesn't need you anymore.
00:56:02I don't believe you.
00:56:07Believe Aston then.
00:56:09Go ahead.
00:56:10Open that desk drawer.
00:56:23Oh my God.
00:56:24He signed the divorce papers.
00:56:27Clarissa's telling the truth.
00:56:32You can go now.
00:56:47Sweet Emma.
00:56:50I'm going to miss you so much.
00:56:53What's going on?
00:56:55I'm saying goodbye to Emma
00:56:57and then I'm out of here.
00:56:59Just like you want me to be.
00:57:05Stella, why are you packing?
00:57:06Here.
00:57:07I signed them.
00:57:08You don't have to worry about me anymore.
00:57:10What are you talking about?
00:57:11Come on Aston.
00:57:12You used me
00:57:13to get everything you wanted.
00:57:15I was a fool to think
00:57:16we could ever be together.
00:57:17That we could ever
00:57:18have a family together.
00:57:19Oh, and by the way
00:57:21congratulations on the baby.
00:57:23I hope you and Clarissa
00:57:24are really happy together.
00:57:27We're really happy together.
00:57:29Wait.
00:57:36Wait.
00:57:41Please.
00:57:42Let me explain.
00:57:47What could you possibly
00:57:48have to say to me?
00:57:52There is nothing
00:57:53and will never be anything
00:57:54between me and Clarissa
00:57:55ever again.
00:57:56I'm not even the father
00:57:57of her child.
00:57:58And these
00:57:59I had these drawn up
00:58:00the day I met you before.
00:58:01I knew this could be anything
00:58:02more than a contract.
00:58:04And this?
00:58:05Just take it.
00:58:08Please just take everything out.
00:58:09All I want
00:58:10is you and Emma.
00:58:11I could take or leave
00:58:12anything else.
00:58:14You don't mean that.
00:58:15Of course I mean it.
00:58:17I have meant
00:58:18every word
00:58:19I have said to you.
00:58:21I'm in Stella.
00:58:22I'm all in.
00:58:24Are you?
00:58:30I'm in Stella.
00:58:31I'm all in.
00:58:33Are you?
00:58:38Yeah.
00:58:39I'm all in.
00:58:46Yes.
00:58:54The paternity results are in.
00:58:58I'm not Emma's father.
00:59:09The paternity results are in.
00:59:13I'm not Emma's father.
00:59:16I'm not Emma's father.
00:59:23I can't believe
00:59:24I'm not her father.
00:59:28If she doesn't belong to me
00:59:29then why would that woman
00:59:31have shown up at my office
00:59:33and made me believe
00:59:34she was mine?
00:59:39I can't tell you
00:59:40why this is happening, Aston.
00:59:43But Emma's lucky
00:59:44she has a dad.
00:59:47Biological or not.
00:59:50We need to find the truth.
00:59:58Dahlia's 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.
01:00:09Where did Emma come from?
01:00:11Step down as CEO
01:00:12and I'll tell you.
01:00:17Step down as CEO
01:00:18and I'll tell you.
01:00:19Are you kidding me?
01:00:21This is way bigger
01:00:22than a CEO position.
01:00:24This is a child's life
01:00:25you're messing with.
01:00:26Shut up, you little tramp.
01:00:29If you hadn't come along
01:00:30pretending to be her mother
01:00:32the scandal would have
01:00:33proceeded as planned
01:00:35and that little child
01:00:37would be back at the orphanage
01:00:38right where she belonged.
01:00:40Orphanage?
01:00:42That's right.
01:00:43The baby's trash
01:00:45just like you.
01:00:59My hair!
01:01:06Aston McElroy,
01:01:07you better get control
01:01:08of your little wife
01:01:09or...
01:01:10Or nothing!
01:01:11You will not speak
01:01:12about my wife or my family
01:01:13that way.
01:01:14Get out.
01:01:28Call every orphanage
01:01:29in the city until you find
01:01:30one that's missing a baby.
01:01:40It's okay.
01:01:42It's okay,
01:01:43we're gonna figure this out.
01:01:48Oh my God,
01:01:49did she just call me Mama?
01:01:50She's yours
01:01:51if you want her to be.
01:01:57I want to be,
01:01:58but until we figure out
01:02:01what's going on
01:02:02I can't get attached.
01:02:06I understand.
01:02:10Mr. Montgomery!
01:02:11Mr. Montgomery!
01:02:12Mr. Montgomery!
01:02:13What can you say
01:02:14about the recent allegations
01:02:15that Miss Evans
01:02:16is not the mother
01:02:17of your son's child?
01:02:19Mr. Montgomery!
01:02:20You can't ignore us!
01:02:21Mr. Montgomery!
01:02:27What's going on?
01:02:29The press is having
01:02:30a field day out here.
01:02:31I told you to.
01:02:33No more scandals!
01:02:34What are you talking about?
01:02:36I went out on a limb for you.
01:02:38I went out on a limb for you, son.
01:02:40I trusted you.
01:02:41And this has been a lie
01:02:42the whole time?
01:02:45You say she's the mother
01:02:46of your child?
01:02:47Prove it,
01:02:48or I'll expect you
01:02:49to step down as CEO
01:02:50tomorrow morning.
01:02:54How do we prove it?
01:02:57Simple.
01:02:59Take a maternity test.
01:03:01You're not going away,
01:03:02Mr. Montgomery!
01:03:03Daniel, quiet please.
01:03:04Come on now.
01:03:08Hey, whoa, whoa.
01:03:09Okay.
01:03:11Astin,
01:03:14I appreciate everything you've done
01:03:16for the organization,
01:03:17but I get the impression
01:03:18that you ain't with us anymore.
01:03:21And I wonder
01:03:22if I can answer
01:03:23any of your questions
01:03:24right here at this time,
01:03:25please?
01:03:27Tara
01:03:28I got you.
01:03:30Aston, if I take a maternity test, they're going to know that Emma's not mine, and then we may lose her forever.
01:03:38No.
01:03:45You should have never lied in the first place.
01:03:47Mom! Mom! My mom is dying!
01:04:05My head is so warm.
01:04:08It's okay.
01:04:17My heart was racing. I was so scared.
01:04:22It's okay.
01:04:26It's okay. It's all going to be okay.
01:04:41Hey.
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?
01:04:58I didn't want to be a burden to you.
01:05:00You can never be a burden.
01:05:03How much does the treatment cost?
01:05:10Ten million dollars.
01:05:12I'll pay it. Every penny.
01:05:17Aston, I...
01:05:18Like I said, money doesn't matter. I would do anything for you, anything for our family.
01:05:27Thank you. You have no idea what this means to me.
01:05:32How do you always know just what to say to make me feel better?
01:05:36Because I know you.
01:05:38I know what you want. I know what you need.
01:05:41That's what happens to someone when you...
01:05:43When you...
01:05:45When you...
01:05:47When you...
01:05:49When you...
01:05:51When you...
01:05:53When you...
01:05:55When you...
01:05:57When you...
01:05:59When you...
01:06:01When you...
01:06:04When you...
01:06:06When you what?
01:06:09When you love someone.
01:06:12And I love you, Stella Evans.
01:06:21And I love you, Stella Evans.
01:06:23I love you.
01:06:31You love me?
01:06:34I do.
01:06:37I can't believe it's taken me so long to say it.
01:06:45Please tell me you feel the same.
01:06:54I don't know what I'm feeling.
01:06:57It's all just... It's too much.
01:07:02I understand.
01:07:11Hi, I'd like to pay a bill for Mary Evans.
01:07:16It has?
01:07:19By who?
01:07:24I see.
01:07:45A year ago, I gave up my baby girl.
01:07:49I had no choice, and it broke my heart.
01:07:52The chances are almost impossible, but I have to know.
01:07:56Could Emma be my daughter?
01:08:09Hello?
01:08:11I'd like to schedule a maternity test.
01:08:19A year later
01:08:25Hey, Stella, do you...
01:08:28Everything okay?
01:08:29Fine.
01:08:36You seem... off.
01:08:43I'm just stressed.
01:08:45I just can't stop thinking about Emma's mother,
01:08:47and how our lives could come crashing down
01:08:50over some maternity test.
01:08:52Then don't take it.
01:08:54What?
01:08:56No, I can't ask you to do that.
01:08:57That's not fair to you.
01:09:01Don't worry about what's fair to me.
01:09:02It's all I'm worried about.
01:09:05You mean more to me than this CEO position.
01:09:08He's trying to help, but...
01:09:10He's trying to help, but...
01:09:12If Emma's somehow mine,
01:09:14I can save Aston's job and his reputation.
01:09:18Just...
01:09:20Don'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?
01:09:36No.
01:09:37Should it?
01:09:39Well...
01:09:41He paid for your mother's treatment.
01:09:43All...
01:09:4410 million.
01:09:58Mom?
01:10:00Who's Andrew Beaumont?
01:10:01Andrew Beaumont?
01:10:05How...
01:10:07How do you know about him?
01:10:10He paid for your treatment.
01:10:12Who is he?
01:10:17Mom?
01:10:19Mom?
01:10:20Mom!
01:10:22Someone call a doctor!
01:10:24Mom!
01:10:31Mom?
01:10:41I spoke with the doctors.
01:10:45She's been put in a medically induced coma until the swelling in her brain subsides.
01:10:52It's all my fault if I wouldn't have pushed her.
01:10:54No, Estella.
01:10:55It is not your fault.
01:10:56I know.
01:10:57I know.
01:10:58And I know she's sick.
01:10:59I just wish there was something I could do.
01:11:01She's with the doctors now.
01:11:03She's getting the treatment she needs.
01:11:06It'll all be fine.
01:11:09No matter how much you keep blaming yourself.
01:11:12I'll say it again.
01:11:15It's not your fault.
01:11:26It's not your fault.
01:11:49Okay, Emma.
01:11:51Time to learn the truth.
01:11:57In breaking news, CEO Aston Montgomery has called a last minute press conference to address the future of Montgomery Enterprises.
01:12:05Reporters have it on good authority that he is prepared to step down as CEO,
01:12:09handing the company over to his half-brother, Clive Montgomery, in the wake of a paternity scandal.
01:12:27Oh, my God.
01:12:30I can save him.
01:12:35Do you have anything to say about this?
01:12:36Ma'am, how do you answer the allegation?
01:12:37What do you say about these accusations?
01:12:39Sir, can you please tell her?
01:12:40Mr. Montgomery, you do understand that not forcing your wife to take a maternity test is an admission of guilt, right?
01:12:47Yes, sir.
01:12:49Mr. Montgomery, you do understand that not forcing your wife to take a maternity test is an admission of guilt, right?
01:12:56Which means you've been lying.
01:12:58To everyone.
01:13:00Wait!
01:13:01We're not lying.
01:13:03I took the test.
01:13:04I have the results right here.
01:13:10I have the results right here.
01:13:16Hey!
01:13:17You know how much I'm willing to pay for those?
01:13:18Not enough.
01:13:19Trust me.
01:13:29You took the maternity test?
01:13:30Why?
01:13:31Aston, there's something I need to tell you.
01:13:33Show us the results, sweetheart.
01:13:34Prove your husband's not lying.
01:13:42I don't owe anyone proof.
01:13:43Believe me or don't.
01:13:44But I am Emma's mother.
01:13:47I believe you.
01:13:48Don't even think about it, Dahlia.
01:13:58This is so sweet.
01:14:02If only it mattered.
01:14:05You're too late, Stella.
01:14:07Aston already stepped down.
01:14:17You already stepped down?
01:14:19Yes.
01:14:21To protect you.
01:14:22To protect Emma.
01:14:23Aston, you were fine.
01:14:24All you've ever wanted to do is be safe.
01:14:26To be a great husband to you and a great father to Emma.
01:14:30That's all that matters to me.
01:14:31We can figure out the rest.
01:14:34It looks like you're working for me now, brother.
01:14:38I own the company now.
01:14:40Which means I own you.
01:14:44Not quite.
01:14:47I just received an offer from Montgomery Enterprises.
01:14:51One that I couldn't refuse.
01:14:54Meet our buyer.
01:14:57Andrew Beaumont.
01:15:04Stella's father.
01:15:11Stella?
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.
01:15:31Your daughter?
01:15:32How dare you call me that?
01:15:34You left Mom and I.
01:15:36No.
01:15:38Stella, I never left you.
01:15:40Your mother.
01:15:42She 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?
01:16:22I'm the CEO of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:16:31I'm the CEO of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:16:38Oh yes.
01:16:40Which means you get to decide how we get rid of Clive.
01:16:44No.
01:16:47You're fired.
01:16:49Effective immediately.
01:16:51You can't do that.
01:16:53Montgomery Enterprises belongs to her.
01:16:56She can do whatever she wants.
01:17:05This can't be happening.
01:17:08I planned everything perfectly.
01:17:11That 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.
01:17:33Clive, Clarissa, get the hell out of my office.
01:17:37You too, Dahlia.
01:17:38Get out!
01:17:40You can't kick me out.
01:17:42I'm Robert's wife.
01:17:44Not anymore.
01:17:46I want a divorce.
01:18:04I always thought she looked just like you when she was sleeping.
01:18:08Yeah.
01:18:11I never thought I'd see her again.
01:18:16I never wanted to give her up, but...
01:18:19when Mom got sick and...
01:18:22the medical bills, I just...
01:18:25I knew we couldn't afford it.
01:18:29That's all in the past.
01:18:32But I want to talk about our future.
01:18:38How would you feel...
01:18:40about one more?
01:18:47This house is pretty big.
01:18:50Why stop at one?
01:18:52I like the way you think.
01:19:08So...
01:19:10what's your first order of business as CEO?
01:19:14Well, since I've already violated the employee handbook...
01:19:19Twice.
01:19:23I was thinking we could talk business.
01:19:27No one knows more about my past than you do.
01:19:31I'm sorry.
01:19:33I'm sorry.
01:19:35I'm sorry.
01:19:37No one knows more about Montgomery Enterprises than you.
01:19:44I was hoping you might show me the ropes.
01:19:48I'd be happy to.
01:19:54Let's violate the handbook one more time.
01:20:06I'm sorry.
01:20:08I'm sorry.
01:20:10I'm sorry.
01:20:12I'm sorry.
01:20:14I'm sorry.
01:20:16I'm sorry.
01:20:18I'm sorry.
01:20:20I'm sorry.
01:20:22I'm sorry.
01:20:24I'm sorry.
01:20:26I'm sorry.
01:20:28I'm sorry.
01:20:30I'm sorry.
01:20:32I'm sorry.
01:20:34I'm sorry.
01:20:36I'm sorry.
01:20:48I'm pregnant.
01:21:00Hey.
01:21:02Your mother and I were just catching up.
01:21:07I still can't believe this.
01:21:11Forgive me for not telling you about your father sooner.
01:21:15When I got sick, I decided to write him.
01:21:18Forgiving him.
01:21:22I never thought you would.
01:21:26And, um...
01:21:29I hope you can forgive me too.
01:21:37You'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.
01:22:05Oh, Stella.
01:22:12Aston, your assistant called and said it was an emergency.
01:22:17Stella Evans?
01:22:19Yes.
01:22:24Come with me.
01:22:35The last time I heard those words, I got roped into a fake marriage.
01:22:40Well, this time, I'm hoping you'll say yes to a real one.
01:22:57Aston, is that your mother's ring?
01:22:59It is.
01:23:01And you're the only person who has ever been worthy of it.
01:23:07Stella Evans, ever since you stepped into my office, you have changed the course of my life.
01:23:12You have given me a beautiful child.
01:23:15Children?
01:23:18I'm pregnant.
01:23:24I want forever with you.
01:23:26No deals. No schemes.
01:23:29Just us.
01:23:32Will you marry me?
01:23:41I can't.
01:23:49It's just, we've done this whole thing backwards.
01:23:52I want us to take our time.
01:23:55Okay.
01:23:57I can be patient.
01:24:00But when you're ready for forever, let me know.
01:24:04Because I'm all in, Stella Evans.
01:24:26I love you.
