00:00:00Your overall health is fine, but your AMH levels are low.
00:00:05Meaning your ovarian reserves are below average for your age.
00:00:10Um, will that make it hard to get pregnant?
00:00:14Not always.
00:00:16But if you want children, I would recommend you sometime soon.
00:00:20Soon?
00:00:21How soon?
00:00:23Ideally within three months.
00:00:28Oh my god.
00:00:29Sweetheart, don't cry.
00:00:34Having you was the best thing I ever did.
00:00:38Mom.
00:00:40I just hope you'll have children of your own one day.
00:00:44After I'm gone.
00:00:46Yeah.
00:00:47I promise.
00:00:50I love you so much.
00:00:53I love you, sweetie.
00:00:55I have always wanted kids.
00:00:57Maybe it's time.
00:00:59Maybe it's time.
00:00:59I'm so sorry.
00:01:21I'm so sorry.
00:01:22That was, um, I think, I think that's fine.
00:01:26Hey, I'm sorry.
00:01:34I didn't see that coming.
00:01:37Handsome guy.
00:01:38Not expected kiss.
00:01:39Are you okay?
00:01:48Okay.
00:01:56Well, well.
00:01:57If it is my perfect innocent ex, what's the occasion?
00:02:03Are you pregnant, too?
00:02:05I'm not as efficient as you, Ryder.
00:02:08We broke up, what, three months ago?
00:02:10And Candy is six months along.
00:02:13Impressive timeline.
00:02:15Please!
00:02:16You couldn't keep a man, let alone raise a kid?
00:02:20Or are you here to raid the sperm bank and DIY a family?
00:02:27Hey, get that back!
00:02:29Dad.
00:02:31If you're not married by 30, even the trust and the confidence of your father is final.
00:02:36Look, Mom, seriously, I...
00:02:43Low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, recommended to start trying within three months.
00:02:49Oh, for her, my thing.
00:02:52Wow, looks like the golden goose is running out of eggs.
00:02:55Fuck, fuck!
00:02:56This is truly a plot twist.
00:03:09I'm really worried about you, Claire.
00:03:11I mean, a girl with your history?
00:03:13You think you're going to be able to snag a sperm donor before your eggs are all dried up?
00:03:17You're basically a clearance rack.
00:03:19Expired, free, and still no takers.
00:03:23No takers.
00:03:24You can rest assured, I already have a boyfriend.
00:03:30Yeah.
00:03:32MIT, 6-2, IQ off the charts, trust fund air, practically built for greatness.
00:03:39Way better than loser rider.
00:03:43Boyfriend?
00:03:44Ugh.
00:03:45Yeah.
00:03:45Sure, Claire, let me guess.
00:03:49He lives in the Canadian wilderness or some bullshit like that?
00:03:54And the best thing of all, he has the one thing you can't die for.
00:03:58Oh.
00:03:59Guinness.
00:04:00Funny.
00:04:02You're funny.
00:04:03How about we make a bet?
00:04:05If you're not pregnant within, say, three months, you have to admit the truth.
00:04:10You are just a dried up old woman.
00:04:13You have to admit it out loud and to the public.
00:04:17Oh, baby, you're bad.
00:04:18You have to admit it out loud and to the public.
00:04:19But if I win, you strike through the office naked, screaming that you are nothing but a little
00:04:29slimy suck-up bitch boy.
00:04:35Deal.
00:04:35Game on, Miss Nobody Wants You.
00:04:38Nobody wants you.
00:04:40Oh, my God.
00:04:44What the fuck did I just do?
00:04:47Even the sperm banks are booked six months out, and I only have three.
00:04:52Where the hell am I going to find the perfect gene donor boyfriend?
00:04:55Oh, God, someone help me.
00:04:57Now, that's interesting.
00:05:02You know, I think I did help with that.
00:05:10Ethan Reed, MIT, PhD, IQ 200, that's my medical report, no genetic disorders, clean family
00:05:22history, I take every box on your donor wish list.
00:05:29Okay, what's the catch?
00:05:32You marry me contractually three months, just long enough to shut my family up and lock in
00:05:38my inheritance, and in return, you get my sperm, and we get you pregnant just in time to
00:05:45win your little bet.
00:05:46That's really all you want?
00:05:48A paper marriage?
00:05:50Look, Claire, I'm not looking for love.
00:05:53I'm looking for efficiency.
00:05:58Honestly, this might be the fastest route to motherhood.
00:06:04Alright?
00:06:06Deal.
00:06:08Loss.
00:06:18Prenuptial agreement.
00:06:25Thanks.
00:06:27Okay.
00:06:29Three rounds of artificial insemination.
00:06:31Temporary cohabitation to keep up party appearances.
00:06:35Contract terminates after three months.
00:06:36I'd like to add one more term.
00:06:40Oh?
00:06:41Financial independence.
00:06:43I don't want anyone thinking I'm some gold digger.
00:06:48Fair enough.
00:06:49If that's what you want, I'm in.
00:06:52Great.
00:06:53Great.
00:07:00Lovely.
00:07:01Excuse me, Mr. Reed.
00:07:03Are you ready to head into the collection room for your investment?
00:07:09Sure.
00:07:11Good luck.
00:07:14Mrs. Reed.
00:07:18Would you like to go in with him?
00:07:20Show him a little support.
00:07:22Oh, no.
00:07:23I...
00:07:23Oh.
00:07:24No.
00:07:25Excuse me.
00:07:26I...
00:07:26I...
00:07:26Oh.
00:07:28Oh, no.
00:07:29Um...
00:07:29Excuse me.
00:07:30I...
00:07:30Uh...
00:07:31Hey.
00:07:38Need any, uh...
00:07:40Help with that?
00:07:42Oh.
00:07:43And, um...
00:07:45How, pray tell, do you plan on helping me?
00:07:48No, I...
00:07:49Um...
00:07:49It's a sore door.
00:07:51Um...
00:07:51No, I did not mean that I was gonna...
00:08:05Oh, my God.
00:08:10Shut up, shut up, shut up.
00:08:11Please, how do I turn this off?
00:08:13Um...
00:08:13Claire?
00:08:13Claire?
00:08:14Shut up.
00:08:14How do I make this stop?
00:08:17This is so crazy.
00:08:18Um...
00:08:19Like that.
00:08:30Um, you should probably get started.
00:08:33I probably should.
00:08:35Yeah.
00:08:35I'm gonna...
00:08:36I'm gonna wait outside.
00:08:37Be my guest.
00:08:38Okay.
00:08:39Bye.
00:08:45Adorable.
00:08:49Enjoying yourself, doctor?
00:08:59Thank you, Mr. Reed.
00:09:00Of course.
00:09:01We'll begin shortly.
00:09:02You can wait outside.
00:09:03Okay.
00:09:05If you need anything, just...
00:09:07Yell for me.
00:09:14Yeah.
00:09:15Boss.
00:09:20You married somewhere out of the blue?
00:09:21Feels a little impulsive.
00:09:23Even for you.
00:09:25No.
00:09:26It's not impulsive.
00:09:27Actually, she's...
00:09:29I don't know.
00:09:30She's...
00:09:31Interesting.
00:09:35Anyways, what'd you find?
00:09:36Mrs. Reed has been working as a designer at Nova.
00:09:40Her ex cheated on her with his boss, Candy Ashford.
00:09:45Miss Ashford's been making her life hell ever since.
00:09:49Just last week, she killed Mrs. Reed's proposal.
00:09:52Said it wasn't feminine enough.
00:09:55Bye, Nova.
00:09:58Make Claire the new design director.
00:10:01Seriously?
00:10:01Yeah.
00:10:03Look, our marriage may have a deadline, but she's still my wife.
00:10:09Anyone mistreating my wife is mistreating me.
00:10:12She's dead, sir.
00:10:15Now, go get the car ready.
00:10:16We have to go meet Mom.
00:10:18Captain.
00:10:26Hello?
00:10:27Mr. Reed, the procedure went smoothly.
00:10:29We'll know in four weeks if it was successful.
00:10:32Oh, wonderful.
00:10:39Thank you so much, Mr. Reed.
00:10:42I might actually get to be a mom now.
00:10:45Of course.
00:10:47But, um...
00:10:49You know, we are married now.
00:10:51And you are my wife.
00:10:53Call me Ethan.
00:10:55Fake wife.
00:10:58Remember?
00:10:59Right.
00:11:03So, Ethan, you've done your part.
00:11:06When do I get to do mine?
00:11:08Right now.
00:11:10We're about to go meet my mother.
00:11:13Okay.
00:11:18Mother.
00:11:20This is...
00:11:21My wife.
00:11:23Claire.
00:11:23Claire, my mother.
00:11:25Nora.
00:11:26Nora, it's so lovely to meet you.
00:11:28Oh, hi.
00:11:29Hi.
00:11:36Oh, sweetie.
00:11:38I've been looking forward to this for so long.
00:11:41And you rascal.
00:11:43So this is why you kept dodging all my matchmaking attempts.
00:11:46Uh, yeah, I'll explain that eventually.
00:11:52Of course.
00:11:53I'm going to want everyone to your wedding night.
00:11:56Come, Byron.
00:11:58They have a mission.
00:11:59Make me a grandchild.
00:12:02Don't have too much fun.
00:12:05Okay.
00:12:06That's my mother.
00:12:13Yeah.
00:12:20Uh, sorry for grabbing here without having a chance to pack.
00:12:24This should do for now, honey.
00:12:34Thanks.
00:12:36Beers.
00:12:39I'll go and make some money.
00:12:43Make yourself home.
00:12:44Oh, my God.
00:12:53And his cologne is perfect.
00:12:56I mean, my knees are actually weak.
00:12:59Too bad it's just temporary.
00:13:00Three months and that is it.
00:13:02God.
00:13:04I need a grip.
00:13:04What am I doing?
00:13:05What are you making?
00:13:23I'm...
00:13:24I'm...
00:13:25Making some things.
00:13:27Sure.
00:13:33Oh, my God.
00:13:33I just got promoted.
00:13:36Design director.
00:13:37I start tomorrow.
00:13:38Oh, my God.
00:13:38Oh, shit.
00:13:42I am so sorry.
00:13:43I did not do that.
00:13:43No, no, no.
00:13:44It's fine.
00:13:45No, really.
00:13:46It's...
00:13:46Oh, Claire.
00:13:49Yeah?
00:13:50Claire, be careful, please.
00:13:52No, it's fine.
00:13:53There's just a huge...
00:13:54No, Claire, you don't under...
00:13:55Oh.
00:13:57Oh.
00:13:58Oh.
00:13:58Oh.
00:14:03Careful.
00:14:06Claire, you are playing with fire.
00:14:09Is it sweet?
00:14:11Holy shit.
00:14:13Yep.
00:14:14Definitely hard.
00:14:16And definitely huge.
00:14:18Oh, jeez.
00:14:19I'm...
00:14:19I, um...
00:14:20No, it's not really.
00:14:21Okay.
00:14:28Okay.
00:14:29That body should come with a warning label.
00:14:31You made this mess.
00:15:00You clean it up.
00:15:02Uh...
00:15:04Where are you going?
00:15:06Oh, I'm just...
00:15:07I'm just gonna go take a cold shower.
00:15:09You know, put out the...
00:15:11Where are you starting?
00:15:21If I'm a new design director,
00:15:23candy butters your packing up her desk.
00:15:30I can't wait.
00:15:35Yeah.
00:15:36What's going on here?
00:15:38Waiting for the new CEO, obviously.
00:15:41Nova got bowed out yesterday.
00:15:43Word is his rich, young and single.
00:15:46I call dips.
00:15:48Eau Claire,
00:15:49don't forget your perfect jean baby bat with Ryder.
00:15:53Maybe you could try your luck with the new CEO.
00:15:56Lots of old money there.
00:15:58With a face like that, land the CEO?
00:16:01Please.
00:16:02What are you gonna do, sneak into his bed and turkey base yourself?
00:16:05I don't need to trap anyone, Ryder.
00:16:11Unlike you, I offer value all on my own.
00:16:14Oh, please.
00:16:15You have been so heartbroken, you can't even manage a rebound.
00:16:20What are you expecting, immaculate conception?
00:16:23I don't need divine conception.
00:16:26And for all you know, I'm already pregnant.
00:16:29Please.
00:16:30I can't be my handler.
00:16:32Welcome to Nova, Mr. Reed.
00:16:49Welcome to Nova, Mr. Reed.
00:16:52Is it?
00:16:54Uh...
00:16:56Uh...
00:16:57Welcome, sir.
00:16:59I'm...
00:17:00Claire.
00:17:01From design.
00:17:11Claire.
00:17:18Design director.
00:17:20Effective...
00:17:22Immediately.
00:17:28Yes, sir.
00:17:31Okay, what?
00:17:32She is fairly qualified and I have been running this program for two years.
00:17:38If...
00:17:39If she is director, then who am I?
00:17:42Support staff.
00:17:44Come on, that is blatant favoritism.
00:17:49Byron, I've done some research on Nova before acquiring it.
00:17:52This sketch, created by Miss Miller herself, has had the highest performing markers a year straight.
00:18:01If anything, I'd say this promotion is long overdue.
00:18:04Overdue.
00:18:16So how do you know the new CEO?
00:18:18I...
00:18:20I don't...
00:18:21Don't lie.
00:18:23He comes and promotes you first thing and you don't know him?
00:18:25Come on, babe.
00:18:26The new guy is obviously clueless.
00:18:27That's why he picked her.
00:18:28No real skill.
00:18:30It won't lie.
00:18:31It won't lie.
00:18:32It won't lie.
00:18:37Ethan?
00:18:38Claire?
00:18:39Why did you buy Nova and make me the director?
00:18:43Well...
00:18:44Because you're my wife.
00:18:45And more importantly...
00:18:46You're talented.
00:18:50Look, Claire, I'm not going to waste that.
00:18:51Now I'm gonna give you a wild look and we'll run up to over the next week!
00:18:54I'm gonna kill you last week, so I'm gonna kill you later.
00:18:56But, I'll tell you all of the characters what...
00:18:58Why did you buy Nova and make me the director?
00:19:02Well...
00:19:03Because you're my wife.
00:19:05And more importantly, you're talented!
00:19:10There are more you will!
00:19:11Claire, I'm not going to waste that.
00:19:14But everyone's going to think I'm just here because of you.
00:19:19Maybe.
00:19:20But we're connected nonetheless, Claire.
00:19:25Contract or not, you are the future mother of my child.
00:19:28And the future mother of my child will not be disrespected.
00:19:31So I'll tell everyone today and clear the air.
00:19:34No.
00:19:36Wait, Ethan, you can't go public.
00:19:39Please.
00:19:41I don't want to be the woman who's known for using your sperm to climb the ladder.
00:19:48Seen by whom?
00:19:49Ryder?
00:19:50Candy?
00:19:51Anyone.
00:19:53You're the CEO, Ethan.
00:19:54I'm just...
00:19:55I'm just someone under contract.
00:20:00And in three months, it's all over.
00:20:03Isn't it?
00:20:07All right.
00:20:08It's your choice.
00:20:11Okay.
00:20:11Yeah, Byron, what is with that woman?
00:20:23I mean, any sane person would kill me, Mrs. Reep, right?
00:20:27She acts like it's a life sentence.
00:20:29That must be what makes her so interesting.
00:20:35Hmm.
00:20:38Maybe.
00:20:38Maybe.
00:20:38Long meeting with the CEO.
00:20:54I guess that means we can add him to your perfect gene list.
00:20:59Hmm.
00:21:00Someone seems desperate.
00:21:02What?
00:21:02What?
00:21:03Are you nervous?
00:21:05Afraid to lose the back?
00:21:08Mind your own business, Ryder.
00:21:15Mind your own business, Ryder.
00:21:16Mind your own business?
00:21:26Ah.
00:21:27Woo.
00:21:29Oh.
00:21:31Oh.
00:21:37Mary.
00:21:37Oh.
00:21:38Oh.
00:21:38Oh.
00:21:38Oh.
00:21:39Oh.
00:21:39Oh.
00:21:39Oh.
00:21:40Oh.
00:21:40Oh.
00:21:40Oh.
00:21:40Oh.
00:21:41Oh.
00:21:42Oh, Maybach.
00:21:49Does she have a sugar daddy now?
00:21:58Ever since I saw her getting that Maybach, nothing.
00:22:02No sign of it again.
00:22:04Was it all just for show?
00:22:05Mm, stale.
00:22:07Mr. Reed says you've all been working hard.
00:22:09Lunch is not him.
00:22:10Oh, design team, can you get their own special menu?
00:22:17Well, so you're doing wonderful.
00:22:19You bring that to you, Claire.
00:22:36Mm.
00:22:40Tis fine to me.
00:22:56Unless you're pregnant or something.
00:22:59You got a secret boyfriend hiding somewhere?
00:23:01Please, um, I'm just not feeling great.
00:23:18I don't...
00:23:19I'm going to go to the bathroom.
00:23:21Oh, you're right.
00:23:23Claire.
00:23:24Could she really be pregnant?
00:23:28What the hell?
00:23:42This is the ladies' room.
00:23:43No way.
00:23:43Are you seriously pregnant?
00:23:45Back off.
00:23:46That is none of your business.
00:23:47This is if your concerns are bad.
00:23:49Now, spill.
00:23:49Who's the Maybach guy?
00:23:51Your sperm donor?
00:23:54She said back off!
00:23:55What?
00:23:56What?
00:23:56I don't know.
00:24:26She's not really pregnant, is she?
00:24:32Now, I don't see why that would be any concern of yours.
00:24:35Well, hey, I'm just looking out for her, boss.
00:24:37I mean, after all, she used to be my girlfriend.
00:24:43Guess her eggs really are busted, aren't they?
00:24:46Or maybe that perfect gene donor of yours, shooting blanks.
00:24:49I'll tell you what, I'll help you out for all time's sake.
00:24:53Don't want that mummy in the bone.
00:25:00You are disgusting!
00:25:03Oh, you bitch.
00:25:09Touch her, and I swear it'll be the last thing you ever do.
00:25:12What the fuck?
00:25:17Sorry, it's just a joke.
00:25:19Max, you're all too protective of your employee.
00:25:22Something I should know about?
00:25:25What happens between Claire and me?
00:25:27It's none of your goddamn business.
00:25:30So, get your damn mouth shut if you want to keep your job.
00:25:33Uh, gang.
00:25:49Claire?
00:25:51Claire?
00:25:52Hey.
00:25:56I'm sorry.
00:25:57Here.
00:25:58You've been under a lot of stress, which can reduce ovarian function.
00:26:08Probably why conception hasn't happened.
00:26:10You need rest, moderate exercise, and a better mood before the next artificial insemination.
00:26:16So, it's my fault.
00:26:17Hey, no, no, no.
00:26:19No, none of this is your fault.
00:26:21All right, but we still have time, and we're in this together, okay?
00:26:41Light movement helps.
00:26:43Walks, swimming, yoga, anything to keep your brain slow and present.
00:26:51You know, I bet you're pretty fond of yoga for the shop.
00:26:57Great.
00:27:01Ladies, raise your hands slowly.
00:27:05Gentlemen, support your partners.
00:27:08Breathe together.
00:27:17That's the case.
00:27:18Don't worry, I'm not going to try anything.
00:27:23Just relax.
00:27:27Now, gently lean back.
00:27:30Your back rests against your partner's chest.
00:27:33Feel their support.
00:27:35Feel the connection.
00:27:36Their grounding presence.
00:27:39It's okay.
00:27:41Trust me.
00:27:41You know, you're kind of laecessible when you're there.
00:27:51I don't know.
00:27:51Don't worry.
00:27:52I don't know.
00:27:52You're not.
00:27:53You're not.
00:27:54You're kind of laecessible when you're there.
00:27:55now take your partner in your arms and slowly lean back together feel that stretch on your
00:28:21spine and breathe through it

00:30:59Chris!
00:31:01What?
00:31:02What, your baby brother needs an appointment to come home now?
00:31:09And who is this beautiful mystery?
00:31:14Hi, I'm Claire.
00:31:15Chris, Ethan's younger brother.
00:31:18Just back from London.
00:31:21Okay.
00:31:23She's my wife.
00:31:26Now, feel free to make yourself at home, but don't overstay your rope.
00:31:30Perfect!
00:31:31The family's all here.
00:31:33So, Chris, I was hoping that you can shadow Ethan at Nova to learn the ropes you're starting tomorrow.
00:31:40What?
00:31:41Come on, you guys.
00:31:43You are both adults.
00:31:44You've got to stop this sibling war.
00:31:46Come on, big brother.
00:31:48I mean, it's just a little family favor.
00:31:51You own the whole empire now.
00:31:54Fine.
00:31:55But don't be late.
00:32:01Oh, and Claire.
00:32:03I can't wait to work with you.
00:32:04Hey, it's not cool.
00:32:18Look, Claire, listen to me.
00:32:20My brother, he's always been so competitive.
00:32:27I mean, anything I have, he wants.
00:32:31And I know he's...
00:32:32He's on here by accident.
00:32:35So please, promise me that you'll stay away from him.
00:32:41Yeah.
00:32:42Yeah, of course.
00:33:00You're right.
00:33:01They're in a three-month contract marriage.
00:33:04Ethan tries to keep it under wraps, but I found the calf surveillance footage.
00:33:08Send it your way.
00:33:10Received.
00:33:12Oh, Ethan.
00:33:14You've always been the crown prince.
00:33:17The heir.
00:33:18The one with the spotlight on him.
00:33:21But me?
00:33:22I was born despair.
00:33:23So, big bro.
00:33:25Once again, you have something that I don't...
00:33:29Let's see who wins this round.
00:33:31Everybody, this is Chris.
00:33:43Oh, God.
00:33:44The newest member of the design team.
00:33:48Hello, colleagues.
00:33:50I cannot wait to learn from each of you.
00:33:54Chris is hot.
00:33:56He is CEO's younger brother.
00:33:58A total golden boy.
00:34:00And a walking HR violation.
00:34:03If I can't lend the CEO, the younger Mr. Reid is still pretty sweet to you.
00:34:09Well, um...
00:34:11Good luck with that.
00:34:12Shh.
00:34:13Oh, and Claire.
00:34:16I believe I will be reporting to you.
00:34:20I think I'll be in great hands.
00:34:24Uh...
00:34:25Uh...
00:34:25Uh...
00:34:29Yeah.
00:34:31Welcome aboard, Chris.
00:34:35She's more than just a deal, too, isn't she?
00:34:38Well, you never did like Sharon.
00:34:46Okay.
00:34:50Yes, the Wilson sketches are approved.
00:34:52You can go ahead and send those over to the account this afternoon.
00:34:56You strike me as an Americana kind of girl.
00:34:59Thanks.
00:35:03You know, I think we should get lunch sometime.
00:35:06Just us together.
00:35:07It could be fun.
00:35:10My brother has always been so competitive.
00:35:13I mean, anything I have, he wants.
00:35:15So please,
00:35:18promise me that we'll stay away from him.
00:35:22Sorry.
00:35:23I just don't think I'll have time today.
00:35:26You're not scared of me already, are you, Claire?
00:35:28I mean, come on, I'm harmless.
00:35:31I don't bite.
00:35:32Of course not.
00:35:34I just don't think...
00:35:35Relax.
00:35:38I know your marriage to my brother is fake.
00:35:39How...
00:35:40How do you know that?
00:35:47No one keeps secrets from me, Claire.
00:35:50Although, I am a little curious about the kind of woman that suddenly gets my work-coly brother to tie the knot.
00:35:57Even if it is a victim.
00:35:58What do you want?
00:36:02Lunch.
00:36:04Conversation.
00:36:04If I say no, and he spills the truth, Ethan loses everything.
00:36:10And if I say yes...
00:36:12Fine.
00:36:15Just lunch.
00:36:16Great.
00:36:17I will see you downstairs.
00:36:26Claire.
00:36:28My office.
00:36:30Now.
00:36:31I'll be right there.
00:36:32She really does mean something to you.
00:36:37Which means...
00:36:38It's just not fun.
00:36:46Claire, what did my brother say to you?
00:36:49Nothing.
00:36:51Just...
00:36:52Work stuff.
00:36:57Okay.
00:36:58Good.
00:36:59Claire.
00:37:00Please, just stay away from him.
00:37:03My brother has spent his entire life trying to ruin everything that I have.
00:37:10But I won't let him ruin this.
00:37:14Should I tell him about Chris asking me to lunch?
00:37:20He's in that.
00:37:21Hey, boss.
00:37:22Meeting's about to start.
00:37:25Okay.
00:37:25I'll be right there.
00:37:27All right.
00:37:27You gotta go.
00:37:28I'll talk to you after, okay?
00:37:30One minute.
00:37:34I can handle it.
00:37:35Ethan's so busy.
00:37:39Chris?
00:37:39It's the same car as last time.
00:38:01Wait, is...
00:38:06Is Chris the perfect gene guy?
00:38:10After you.
00:38:11Isn't this Ethan's car?
00:38:14It is.
00:38:16No fucking...
00:38:17No fucking way.
00:38:21She actually landed a rich golden boy.
00:38:24Problems.
00:38:25Problems?
00:38:29Are you worried that your fake hubby will catch you with your mom and brother?
00:38:33What are you fucking talking about?
00:38:42Just kidding.
00:38:44We're just grabbing lunch from Smelly.
00:38:45No wonder she got director.
00:39:01And had the guts to make a bet with me?
00:39:05It's because you're all cozy with the CEO's brother.
00:39:09Hmm.
00:39:10You know what?
00:39:12Time to take down the office sweetheart.
00:39:15There it is.
00:39:30Proof.
00:39:31Claire is sleeping with the CEO's brother.
00:39:33No wonder she jumped the ranks.
00:39:38CEO in the boardroom.
00:39:40Brother in the bedroom.
00:39:41I just bought her streets.
00:39:48Well, um, boss?
00:39:57Go!
00:39:58Get out!
00:40:01And that will be all.
00:40:04Right away.
00:40:08Sorry, I'm gonna run to the bathroom.
00:40:11It's a free country.
00:40:17Come on, Claire.
00:40:19Come on, answer me.
00:40:24I can't wait to see the look on your face.
00:40:27Now, please read all the details.
00:40:34She's not picking up.
00:40:38Chris, you better fucking listen.
00:40:43Hello?
00:40:49Chris, where the fuck did you take her?
00:40:52Yeah, it's this nice little restaurant.
00:40:55It's called Les Jardins Secrets.
00:40:58It's a lovely place.
00:41:00Bye-bye.
00:41:05Fuck.
00:41:05Les Jardins Secrets.
00:41:07Step on it.
00:41:09On it.
00:41:10Fuck it, Chris.
00:41:11You see, I'm kind of sad.
00:41:22Which is surprising because most women, they can't help but to smile around me.
00:41:28I'm fine.
00:41:28Look, Chris, I've had lunch now, so please, can you keep the contract thing to yourself?
00:41:37It's funny that this marriage is real enough to have a baby, but not real enough to matter.
00:41:45I mean, do you really love him?
00:41:46Oh, you bitch.
00:42:05Touch her, and I swear to be the last thing you'll ever do.
00:42:08I guess I do like him a little.
00:42:18Oh, there's some hesitation.
00:42:21I'm not so sure if you're so sure.
00:42:26And how exactly does that concern you?
00:42:29Because if it's not love, maybe you just chose the wrong brother.
00:42:35You just chose the wrong brother.
00:42:37Neil, are you trying to be funny right now?
00:42:41I am your sister, your brother's wife.
00:42:45I'm leaving.
00:42:46Why won't you sit back down?
00:42:50What are you doing?
00:43:02Careful.
00:43:03Nothing, uh, you just have a little something right here.
00:43:12I guess that's just what happens when you're too focused on eating.
00:43:17Are you insane?
00:43:18No.
00:43:20I'm just asking out a theory, seeing how he would react.
00:43:25Who?
00:43:25What the fuck are you doing?
00:43:43Get home.
00:43:44Ethan, what are you doing here?
00:43:51Relax.
00:43:52I was just fucking taking care of Claire.
00:43:56Oh, yeah?
00:43:57Yeah.
00:43:58Whatever sick, twisted game you're playing, leave my wife out of it.
00:44:04Come on, Claire.
00:44:06Let's go.
00:44:06Oh, Ethan.
00:44:13You've fallen for her, haven't you?
00:44:15That only makes me want her more, because now it's my turn to win.
00:44:18Come on.
00:44:19You're hurting me.
00:44:21Yeah?
00:44:22I just told you to stay away from my brother.
00:44:24Why are you at lunch with him?
00:44:26Why are you at lunch with him?
00:44:28Because he found out about the contract marriage.
00:44:31So what?
00:44:33Are you scared he'll tell someone?
00:44:34Or are you scared I'll back out and you'll lose your little bet?
00:44:37But no, it's not to do...
00:44:38Then what?
00:44:39Do you have feelings for him?
00:44:40Are you being serious right now?
00:44:42I've been trying to protect you.
00:44:44If your mother finds out her marriage is fake, we should cut you off.
00:44:49She's actually worried about me, not just the baby.
00:44:51God, I mean, you are blowing this way out of proportion.
00:44:54And our marriage is just paperwork.
00:44:56So what if I'm having lunch with Chris?
00:44:58Why do you even care?
00:44:59Because it feels real.
00:45:01Claire.
00:45:02I'm so fucking tired of pretending that it doesn't.
00:45:06Claire.
00:45:09I am falling in love with you.
00:45:11And I was not prepared for that.
00:45:13Honestly, I didn't even think I wanted that until I met you.
00:45:17What the actual fuck?
00:45:19He's jealous?
00:45:21Or is this some cruel joke?
00:45:23Why does my heart feel like it's about to explode?
00:45:27Please.
00:45:28I need to know if you feel the same.
00:45:31All right.
00:45:39I do.
00:45:40I do.
00:45:40I do.
00:45:40I do.
00:45:40I do.
00:45:40I do.
00:45:41I do.
00:45:44I do.
00:45:53I do.
00:45:54I do.
00:45:54I do.
00:45:54I do.
00:45:54I do.
00:45:55Congratulations, Mrs. Reed. Your hormone levels are back to normal. You're cleared for insemination next week.
00:46:15Oh my god. Thank you so much, Doctor.
00:46:20And?
00:46:22Ethan, we're good to go. We can finally try again next week.
00:46:27Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.
00:46:35Claire, I'm so sorry I ever got you.
00:46:38Good morning, Nova's very own sperm queen. How's the donor search going? Is the CEO's little brother premium enough for you?
00:46:53What is your problem, Ryder?
00:46:55I caught you cozying up to Chris Reed. I'm curious to see how Ethan's going to react when he finds out you've been playing both brothers.
00:47:06You don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:15And what exactly am I looking at? Two co-workers showing up to the office? No wonder you never deliver anything good. You're too busy playing paparazzi all day.
00:47:23Cut the crap, Claire. You strut around here like you earned that title. And you think you're better than the rest of us, but guess what? You are nothing but an incubator with broken parts. Does Chris even know that your eggs are defective?
00:47:36You say one more word and I will sue you for defamation.
00:47:46You filthy bitch.
00:47:54Try me and you're done.
00:48:01Hey. Hey. Are you okay?
00:48:03Are you okay?
00:48:06Boss, I'm telling you the truth. Claire was only getting close to Chris because of a bet. Okay? She's not this sweet, innocent angel. She is just playing him.
00:48:14One more slanderous word towards Claire and you're fired.
00:48:17For fuck's sake. She's just an employee. Why are you protecting her like this?
00:48:21Because.
00:48:23Because he is my future girlfriend's boss.
00:48:26Oh, and Claire. I got these gorgeous flowers for you.
00:48:35Sweetie. Are you okay?
00:48:38No.
00:48:42You don't know what the fuck you're doing, Chris.
00:48:44I do. I'm trying to work Claire.
00:49:01Keep your filthy hands off her. She's a married woman.
00:49:06Wait, what? Claire is married?
00:49:08To who?
00:49:19Careful, big bro.
00:49:23I mean, you should really, really think this through.
00:49:27Once the truth gets out, well, we both know how mom's temper is.
00:49:30If she gets angry and takes away your inheritance while the breed group matches all in my hands.
00:49:40I'm her husband.
00:49:44How is that even possible?
00:49:47How is that even legal?
00:49:49Whoa.
00:49:51I can't believe you actually did it.
00:49:53You chose love over legacy.
00:49:55I mean, I am impressed.
00:49:56I, what?
00:49:59You missed out the juicy bit.
00:50:02Why don't you tell everyone that your marriage is just a three-month contract?
00:50:06A business proposition.
00:50:08I warned you to get the fuck out of our relationship, Chris.
00:50:16Cool off, big bro.
00:50:20Your relationship has an expiration date.
00:50:23And once it's over, she'll be mine.
00:50:25Yeah.
00:50:26Funny.
00:50:28Because I won't let you get close enough to steal her from me.
00:50:31Oh.
00:50:40That's enough!
00:50:42Both of you, stop!
00:50:44Stop it!
00:50:46Claire!
00:50:51Claire!
00:50:55Both of Reed brothers are fighting over Claire.
00:50:58What has she got that we don't?
00:51:00Her bedroom skills, of course.
00:51:03That's probably how she earned my promotion.
00:51:05How did I not see this sooner?
00:51:07She is sleeping her way to the top.
00:51:09What is that?
00:51:10Shut your mouth!
00:51:12If word of this gets out, I will end you.
00:51:18Claire! Claire!
00:51:19Let go of me!
00:51:21I'm sorry.
00:51:22Alright, I screwed up.
00:51:23I was impulsive.
00:51:25I didn't stop to think about how you might feel going public with our relationship.
00:51:29Stay fit, Ethan.
00:51:31I am done.
00:51:32I can't do this anymore.
00:51:33No.
00:51:34No, no, please.
00:51:35Please don't go.
00:51:37I only did it because I was scared of losing you to Chris.
00:51:41And that's why I rushed to tell everybody that you're my wife.
00:51:45What about the consequences?
00:51:47If your mother finds out we're in a fake relationship, you'll lose everything.
00:51:51And Chris and I are not a thing.
00:51:52Okay?
00:52:00Hey, listen to me.
00:52:03Right before you came into my life, all I cared about was my work and my inheritance.
00:52:08But I need you to know that as long as you're here with me, nothing else matters.
00:52:17Ethan.
00:52:19No.
00:52:20Don't worry.
00:52:21Alright.
00:52:23I'm here with you.
00:52:25Whatever comes our way, we'll face it together.
00:52:28Okay?
00:52:29Okay.
00:52:30Okay.
00:52:35Sophia, if you don't hop on a plane right now, your ex, he might find us happily ever after somewhere else.
00:52:53after somewhere else. What? That workaholic. Falling for someone. No, no, not possible.
00:53:13Book me the next flight to New York.
00:53:15I don't care who she is. Ethan Reed is mine.
00:53:32Mmm, their cooking's actually gotten a lot better.
00:53:42Doctor just confirmed.
00:53:45You're good to go. I love you in a smile.
00:53:52Perfect. We'll leave first thing in the morning.
00:53:55Go where exactly?
00:54:10Sophia?
00:54:12You're back?
00:54:14Oh, Ethan, I miss you so much.
00:54:26Um, well, Claire, this is Sophia, an old friend. Sophia, this is my wife.
00:54:35It's nice to meet you.
00:54:37It's nice to meet you.
00:54:38It's nice to meet you.
00:54:39Pleasure.
00:54:40Though I'm not just friend.
00:54:46I'm Ethan's ex.
00:54:48I think we broke up two years ago. It's nothing.
00:54:53We were so in love back then. I thought you'd wait. You know, if Chris hadn't told me, I'd still believe you were mine.
00:55:01If I remember correctly, you left to pursue a career halfway across the world. I thought that fit you wanted.
00:55:11Well, actually, she's my pick for brand manager. That won't be a problem for you. Right, brother?
00:55:18What's the matter, Ethan? You don't want me back?
00:55:24Well, I'm afraid that decision's not entirely up to me. That's up to the board.
00:55:27It's funny. What a coincidence. It just so happened to have big signatures, right?
00:55:37Oh.
00:55:51Well, if that's what the board wants, fine. We'll see if you're up to the task.
00:55:57Why did you tell me about Ethan and Claire? What's your angle?
00:56:14I want Claire and you want Ethan.
00:56:17We can help each other out.
00:56:18Help each other how?
00:56:20You? You can blow up their little fairy tale.
00:56:23And me? We'll carve your path straight to Ethan.
00:56:27Everyone wins.
00:56:30Let the games begin.
00:56:34Hey.
00:56:36What are you doing?
00:56:38Look, Claire, I'm...
00:56:39I'm sorry if the night upset you.
00:56:43But...
00:56:44Would it be bad if I was a little glad if it did?
00:56:47Does that mean that you were jealous?
00:56:52At least when you do care.
00:56:56Don't flatter yourself.
00:56:57She's from my past.
00:57:06All right, but you are my wife.
00:57:12And...
00:57:12Once you're finally pregnant,
00:57:16we can make it official.
00:57:20Wedding, life together.
00:57:21I don't want a contract married with you.
00:57:30I want forever.
00:57:32Are you serious?
00:57:34And when my mom's back from Europe,
00:57:35we'll tell her, too.
00:57:38Look, our marriage won't just be a show anymore.
00:57:41We could try for that baby ourselves.
00:58:02We could.
00:58:05Oh, my God.
00:58:06Oh, my God.
00:58:27Ethan, are you not...
00:58:28What?
00:58:29Oh.
00:58:31Damn it.
00:58:31Damn it.
00:58:36Hello?
00:58:38Ethan, I fell down the stairs.
00:58:41You can't...
00:58:42I'm really hurt.
00:58:44I can't move.
00:58:46Sophia, is there not anybody else you can call?
00:58:50Ethan, I don't know anyone else in this city.
00:58:53Who else am I supposed to call?
00:58:55Besides, are we not still friends?
00:58:58Always.
00:58:59No, fine.
00:59:00Yeah, I'll be over in just a few.
00:59:05Please.
00:59:06Hey, what happened?
00:59:08Um, it's Sophia.
00:59:10She apparently fell and hurt herself,
00:59:12and she doesn't really know anybody in the city,
00:59:14so I just need to go over and check on her.
00:59:18Do you want me to come?
00:59:20No.
00:59:21No, no, no.
00:59:21You stay here and rest.
00:59:23Mm-hmm.
00:59:36Sophia, you said you were hurt.
00:59:46Yummy.
00:59:49Oh, I did hurt my ankle.
00:59:52It still hurts when I walk.
00:59:54See?
00:59:56Ow.
00:59:56Oh, no.
00:59:58No.
00:59:59You lied.
01:00:01Well, I had to see whether you still cared.
01:00:03I was stupid to think you'd wait around forever,
01:00:06but seeing you now,
01:00:08I realized what I gave up.
01:00:11What we had.
01:00:12It's over.
01:00:15I'm married now.
01:00:18Married?
01:00:19It's just a contract.
01:00:21What?
01:00:21You think she loves you?
01:00:23She's in it for the genes.
01:00:26And honestly, Ethan,
01:00:28who could blame her?
01:00:29No, enough.
01:00:33Wait.
01:00:35Don't go.
01:00:35Please stay one night.
01:00:37That's all I ask.
01:00:42If you keep this up,
01:00:44we won't even be friends.
01:00:46All right.
01:00:49Friends, then.
01:00:50At least that way,
01:00:51I still get to see you.
01:00:53The latest male contraceptive.
01:01:00Not FDA approved yet,
01:01:02but it can instantly be off date soon.
01:01:06Diffenching.
01:01:13Oh, Ethan.
01:01:15No way I'm letting that bitch Claire
01:01:18carry your child.
01:01:21You know you should rest up.
01:01:23Heal that ankle.
01:01:24Don't shit me late tomorrow.
01:01:26Wouldn't drain it.
01:01:30She can borrow you.
01:01:32But you're mine.
01:01:34To the grave.
01:01:42They took your sample
01:01:44ages ago.
01:01:45Why haven't they called me in?
01:01:47Do you think something's wrong?
01:01:50Claire.
01:01:52Come on.
01:01:53Stop overthinking.
01:01:55All right.
01:01:55You know,
01:01:55they're probably just
01:01:56swamped with patients.
01:01:57I mean,
01:01:58stuff like this happens
01:01:58all the time.
01:02:00Yeah.
01:02:02See?
01:02:03Doctor,
01:02:03can I go in now?
01:02:05Not quite,
01:02:05Mrs. Reed.
01:02:06We've just received the results.
01:02:07Unfortunately,
01:02:08Mr. Reed's sperm motility is very low.
01:02:15It's currently not viable for fertilization.
01:02:18What?
01:02:19How is that even possible?
01:02:21What?
01:02:21No,
01:02:22that can't be right.
01:02:23I'm perfectly healthy.
01:02:24My sperm is fine.
01:02:25Test me again.
01:02:26I understand this is very upsetting,
01:02:27but the numbers are fine.
01:02:29I suggest I retest in two weeks.
01:02:31In the meantime,
01:02:33rest,
01:02:33nutrition,
01:02:34hydration.
01:02:39No,
01:02:40this doesn't make,
01:02:41this doesn't make any sense.
01:02:43Hey,
01:02:43maybe you're just
01:02:45working too hard.
01:02:47You were there for me
01:02:49when this all started,
01:02:50and now it's my turn.
01:02:52We'll get through this
01:02:53together.
01:02:57Right.
01:02:57Together.
01:02:57So we plan on having
01:03:12this whole thing up
01:03:13by 2026.
01:03:15I mean,
01:03:15we have an additional
01:03:175,000 rooms
01:03:18on the left wing
01:03:19that we have.

01:03:32Effective immediately,

01:03:54Oh.
01:03:54Oh.
01:03:59She walks in late
01:04:00and she's already manager.
01:04:02What's her background?
01:04:03I mean,
01:04:04it's getting clear at 2.0.
01:04:05Shag her socials.
01:04:07CEO's acts.
01:04:08The only one he ever won public with.
01:04:10Daughter of some investment tycoon.
01:04:13Wonder where they broke up.
01:04:15So the queen's come back
01:04:16to take her throne, huh?
01:04:18I guess that means
01:04:18the temp wife position
01:04:20isn't getting renewed.
01:04:22Nice.
01:04:23Okay.
01:04:24They look like the perfect couple.
01:04:40Your contract marriage with Ethan.
01:04:43What?
01:04:44One month left?
01:04:46What's your point?
01:04:48Do you ever wonder
01:04:49if Ethan only married you
01:04:51to scare me
01:04:52back into his life?
01:04:56What?
01:04:57I twisted my ankle last night.
01:05:00Oh.
01:05:01He freaked.
01:05:02It was like his world was ending.
01:05:06He promised me
01:05:07he wouldn't let you get pregnant.
01:05:10And, oh,
01:05:11didn't your little
01:05:12fertility trip to the hospital fail?
01:05:16How did he know that?
01:05:17Because
01:05:19I gave him
01:05:20a glass of wine
01:05:22with a little something extra.
01:05:25And let's just say
01:05:26his swimmers are on strike.
01:05:28I watched him drink it.
01:05:30I was like, mm,
01:05:40I said, oh, what's the earth?
01:05:42Oh, yeah.
01:05:43Yeah.
01:05:44I agreed.
01:05:45I'mETHING
01:05:45I'm sorry.
01:05:46I've seen him
01:05:57Let's go home.
