00:00:00See if Leo Christopher still wants to marry me now.
00:00:03What is that on your face?
00:00:06No one has time for your little games, Vivian.
00:00:08No husband, no inheritance.
00:00:10Bunch of freeloading parasites.
00:00:13Daddy, she's lost it!
00:00:15Excuse me, what are you doing in my room?
00:00:19We never had a chance to get properly introduced.
00:00:22Aaron Christopher.
00:00:23Contract marriage, one year.
00:00:25Help me get back my mother's inheritance.
00:00:27Your husband?
00:00:30For my mother's will, I'm officially stepping in as CEO of Lawrence Corp.
00:00:34Is this what we want as the face of our company?
00:00:38You'll make a great husband someday.
00:00:40I already am a great husband.
00:00:43Aaron mentioned that Steven was responsible for his accident.
00:00:47Steven hurt his own brother? That's absurd.
00:00:50Once we can get that footage to the team at Lawrence Corp, we can end this.
00:00:53It's such a shame a woman like you.
00:00:56He's on a man like Aaron.
00:00:57Keep your hands to yourself.
00:01:00I heard his heart belongs to someone else.
00:01:02You can't do this to me!
00:01:03Watch me!
00:01:04Let's see if Leo Christopher still wants to marry me now.
00:01:06You're Vivian Lawrence?
00:01:08Oh God.
00:01:09What is that on your face?
00:01:10You know, you look nothing like your profile pic.
00:01:14More like a warthog.
00:01:16With a trust fund.
00:01:17I think I want this marriage, please.
00:01:20But I did enjoy your dad and stepmom begging me on their knees to show up today.
00:01:21Pathetic.
00:01:22Pathetic.
00:01:23Pathetic.
00:01:24Pathetic.
00:01:25Pathetic.
00:01:26Pathetic.
00:01:27Pathetic.
00:01:28Pathetic.
00:01:29Pathetic.
00:01:30Pathetic.
00:01:31Pathetic.
00:01:32Pathetic.
00:01:33Pathetic.
00:01:34Pathetic.
00:01:35Pathetic.
00:01:36Pathetic.
00:01:37Pathetic.
00:01:38Pathetic.
00:01:39Pathetic.
00:01:40Pathetic.
00:01:41Ugh.
00:01:42EUGENO.
00:01:46HTUN.
00:01:47TAHUN.
00:01:48Doctors are dead.
00:01:51I want this marriage, please.
00:01:54But I did enjoy your dad and stepmom begging me on their knees to show up today.
00:01:55Pathetic.
00:01:59Tell her to forget about drugging me and shipping me off to marry that creep Leo.
00:02:18Excuse me.
00:02:19What are you doing in my room?
00:02:23Whoa.
00:02:24Abs?
00:02:25That's not an answer.
00:02:28Sorry, I...
00:02:30Are you okay?
00:02:32Someone's trying to get me.
00:02:36Get out.
00:02:38I said get out!
00:02:40Wait.
00:02:42Do you know who I am?
00:02:44A really, really hot guy.
00:02:46A really, really hot guy.
00:02:56A really, really hot guy.
00:03:00A really, really hot guy.
00:03:02A really hot guy.
00:03:04A really, really hot guy.
00:03:06A really, really hot guy.
00:03:08A really hot guy.
00:03:32Vivian, where the hell are you?
00:03:40Vivian, where the hell are you?
00:03:43You know how many strings I had to pull to get you a date with a member of the Christopher family?
00:03:47You're meeting him in an hour.
00:03:48Do not be late.
00:03:50Dad, we need to talk about this.
00:03:54Oh my God.
00:03:55Did I just have a one-night stand with a complete stranger?
00:04:00Shit, he's coming out.
00:04:01I need to get out of here.
00:04:14Let's pretend this never happened.
00:04:16No hard feelings.
00:04:17Last night was magnificent.
00:04:25Yeah.
00:04:28Yeah, I remember the arranged date.
00:04:29I'll be there to check it out.
00:04:47Thanks for stopping by, but your services won't be needed.
00:04:50I've already found my husband.
00:04:58I've already found my husband.
00:05:05Is that so?
00:05:07Leo, try not to embarrass the family.
00:05:09Besides, is that how Christopher treats his future aunt?
00:05:12My apologies, dear uncle.
00:05:16After all, with your impairment...
00:05:22You're being visually challenging.
00:05:24Maybe you are a match made in heaven.
00:05:27Didn't I hear that you were in Vegas last week?
00:05:30Tell me.
00:05:31How much of your trust fund did you gamble away this time?
00:05:34You know, I've been meaning to call your mother and check in.
00:05:40Say hi.
00:05:44My apologies for the misunderstanding.
00:05:48It was nice meeting you.
00:05:49There's no way.
00:05:58I remember last night.
00:06:03This can't be the same person.
00:06:07Looks just like her.
00:06:08But that scar...
00:06:17We never had a chance to get properly introduced.
00:06:19Aaron Christopher.
00:06:21Vivian, your future wife.
00:06:25I'm sorry, is that a real proposition?
00:06:28More like destiny.
00:06:30Don't you think?
00:06:33Terms?
00:06:34Contract marriage.
00:06:35One year?
00:06:37You helped me get back my mother's inheritance.
00:06:43Done.
00:06:44But I also have a condition we'll need to discuss.
00:06:53Morning, Dad.
00:06:55You look happy to see me.
00:06:56No one has time for your little games, Vivian.
00:07:00Vivian.
00:07:01Leo just called.
00:07:02Needless to say, he was not impressed.
00:07:05To be honest, he said you were ugly and uncultured.
00:07:11Can't blame him.
00:07:12Fire a guy with his pedigree.
00:07:14I wouldn't be caught dead with you.
00:07:16I was really hoping this one would work out.
00:07:20Well, I guess no husband.
00:07:23No inheritance.
00:07:24And now that you're done embarrassing the family name, be useful for once, Vivian.
00:07:31Please leave this house.
00:07:33This is my mother's house.
00:07:34If anyone's going to get the hell out, it's you.
00:07:38Bunch of freeloading parasites.
00:07:40Daddy, she's lost it.
00:07:44Vivian, are you insane?
00:07:46Get the hell out.
00:07:49One more thing.
00:07:51Mom left me 50% of Lawrence Corp.
00:07:54So guess what, Daddy?
00:07:57That makes me the boss here.
00:08:06So guess what, Daddy?
00:08:09That makes me the boss here.
00:08:11No, that is impossible.
00:08:14Leo said that...
00:08:15Who said Leo was my only option?
00:08:17Aaron Christopher?
00:08:21Who the hell is that?
00:08:24Leo's uncle.
00:08:26Paralyzed in an accident years ago, became a total recluse and hasn't amounted to much ever since.
00:08:32Well, congratulations, Vivian.
00:08:34Looks like you found yourself a real winner.
00:08:41What?
00:08:47Boss, we finally have a lead on the accident from five years ago.
00:08:52Our team managed to find the original surveillance footage.
00:08:55That took long enough.
00:08:57Seems like someone was really trying to bury this.
00:08:59Once I have the evidence that I need, Steven is finished.
00:09:03It's still amazing that you spent all these years faking an injury.
00:09:06Had your whole family thinking you'd given up.
00:09:08Meanwhile, you're building an entire empire from the shadows of Zex.
00:09:11That's not just revenge, boss.
00:09:13That's art.
00:09:15That's justice.
00:09:17But there's only one problem.
00:09:18Steven's team wiped everything.
00:09:19Not a trace.
00:09:22There's always a trace.
00:09:24They wrote a Lawrence Corp?
00:09:26Yeah.
00:09:27Big tech giant owns Skynet.
00:09:30They have something to do with data restoration.
00:09:31Exactly.
00:09:33Guess who just took over as their new CEO?
00:09:39That's the verdict for the two-year-old policy.
00:09:41For my mother's will, I'm officially stepping in as CEO of Lawrence Corp.
00:09:48This is absolute nonsense.
00:09:49Vivian isn't qualified for this.
00:09:51And frankly, is this what we want as the face of our company?
00:09:55We're asking for a PR nightmare.
00:09:57And let's not forget her new husband, Aaron Christopher.
00:10:00Not exactly bringing much to the table.
00:10:03Do you want this company to become a total laughingstock?
00:10:05Vivian, the board has concerns about your leadership.
00:10:09There's no proof you're ready for this.
00:10:13Unless you can prove your worth.
00:10:16Land a contract with Everest Capital in the next three days and we'll reconsider.
00:10:23This is ridiculous.
00:10:24We're just wasting time.
00:10:26Consider it done.
00:10:41Vivian, sweetie.
00:10:42Everest Capital is run by the most powerful man in the world.
00:10:45X.
00:10:46The guy's practically a ghost.
00:10:48What makes you think you have a shot at getting in a room with him?
00:10:51I guess we'll find out.
00:10:53Vivian, please.
00:10:54Yeah, Vivian.
00:10:55What's her big plan?
00:10:55Lurem into bed and pegging for a contract?
00:10:58Oh, please.
00:10:59Like she'd even hesitate.
00:11:00She's probably dreaming about it already.
00:11:02Poor girl needs the attention.
00:11:03Hey, babe.
00:11:10Thought you might need a lift.
00:11:15Hey, babe.
00:11:18Thought you might need a lift.
00:11:25Didn't you know?
00:11:26She's already married.
00:11:28Her poor husband clearly isn't enough.
00:11:30Now she's playing you.
00:11:32Well, in that case, I guess I don't mind being played.
00:11:38You entitled bitch.
00:11:40Who do you think you are?
00:11:41I'm the bitch?
00:11:42Look at the way you just threw yourself at my husband.
00:11:44How embarrassing.
00:11:46Your husband?
00:11:48Right.
00:11:49I forgot to introduce myself.
00:11:51Aaron Christopher.
00:11:52Aaron Christopher.
00:12:02Aaron Christopher.
00:12:03Aaron Christopher.
00:12:04Aaron Christopher.
00:12:05Aaron Christopher.
00:12:06Wow.
00:12:07This is nicer than I expected from the least favored son in the Christopher family.
00:12:11Well, it suits me well enough.
00:12:14It's easy to get around.
00:12:15There's an elevator to the second floor.
00:12:18And, lucky for you, this will be your home too for the next year.
00:12:22Contractually speaking.
00:12:23medium rare, just the way you like it.
00:12:52And, please tell me you didn't hire a private chef just to impress me.
00:12:57Oh, trust me.
00:12:57Cooking is just the beginning.
00:13:00Life with me?
00:13:01It's pretty good.
00:13:07To you.
00:13:08My wife.
00:13:11To business partnerships.
00:13:12So, what was that one condition you mentioned?
00:13:24Don't worry.
00:13:25When the time is right, you'll know.
00:13:27Erin?
00:13:28Can I come in?
00:13:33Erin?
00:13:34Can I come in?
00:13:50Aaron, can I come in?
00:14:01I thought you'd be in bed.
00:14:05You must be tired after such a crazy day.
00:14:11I was thinking bathing must be tricky for you.
00:14:15As your wife, I thought maybe I could help.
00:14:20Uh, I appreciate that, but thanks.
00:14:24I got it.
00:14:44Maybe I could help you get on dress?
00:14:47Um, I know that we're married now, but this is a little fast, isn't it?
00:15:02Why don't you let me?
00:15:05Vivian, you, you're Scar.
00:15:30Vivian, you're Scar.
00:15:40I'm sorry.
00:15:44So this is the real you?
00:15:48That night, it was you.
00:15:52I wasn't trying to fool you.
00:15:56The Scar's been sort of a protection for me ever since my mom died.
00:16:04Since my stepmother and her daughter came into the picture, it was easier to just disappear.
00:16:12I was no longer a threat to them.
00:16:14I'm sorry.
00:16:19You don't have to explain.
00:16:21I get it.
00:16:27Where are you going?
00:16:30Like you said, it's been a long day.
00:16:33I should probably get to bed.
00:16:36I was thinking, uh...
00:16:37You were right.
00:16:39It is just our first night.
00:16:57Aaron.
00:16:58Who the hell gave you permission to get married?
00:17:10Who the hell gave you permission to get married?
00:17:14It's my marriage.
00:17:15It's my life.
00:17:16I don't need your approval.
00:17:18Ever since that accident, you've changed.
00:17:22You're...
00:17:23Go on.
00:17:25Say it.
00:17:25You know, Dad, even if I never walk again, even if I never meet your expectations,
00:17:32at least I know what I'm with.
00:17:33You still resent me, don't you?
00:17:35The board chose Stephen as my successor.
00:17:37That was never my decision.
00:17:39All I ever wanted was that you two look out for one another.
00:17:42Wake up, Dad.
00:17:44My half-brother wants me dead.
00:17:45You always misjudge him.
00:17:47He is a good man and a good brother to me.
00:17:48He has turned the whole family against me.
00:17:50That's enough about your brother.
00:17:53Fine.
00:17:54This marriage is a done deal.
00:17:56At least promise me you'll treat your wife well.
00:17:59Spoil her.
00:17:59Take her out on a proper date.
00:18:03I always wished I was a better husband to your mother.
00:18:07Don't mess this up.
00:18:08You wanted to see me, boss?
00:18:18William, I need your advice.
00:18:21You go on a lot of dates, right?
00:18:23You want my advice?
00:18:25Of course.
00:18:26Happy to help.
00:18:27Great.
00:18:27Um, how do you plan a really memorable date?
00:18:32Who's the lucky lady?
00:18:33My wife.
00:18:34Who else would it be?
00:18:35We could do worse.
00:18:37Kidding.
00:18:38I got you, boss.
00:18:39Don't worry.
00:18:40Okay.
00:18:43Where do we start?
00:18:43Okay, Mr. Mysterious.
00:18:48What's the big surprise?
00:18:51Okay, Mr. Mysterious.
00:18:53What's the big surprise?
00:18:56I swear, if this is some sort of prank...
00:18:59Be patient.
00:19:01Okay, you can take off your blindfold now.
00:19:03Do you really think a perfect romantic evening will win me over?
00:19:20Because it might.
00:19:23I just want to prove to you that I am the most romantic contract husband you will ever have.
00:19:30You know this isn't necessary, right?
00:19:32I was just kidding about the private chef.
00:19:35As long as we are married, I'm going to treat you right.
00:19:43Well, in that case, dear husband, I do have one complaint.
00:19:50The steak, not as good as yours.
00:19:54Your complaint is noted.
00:19:56I'll cook for you tomorrow, but in the meantime...
00:19:59Happy one week.
00:20:01Anniversary.
00:20:02Have a great day.
00:20:19You're right.
00:20:21I crave in this life.
00:20:24This is beautiful.
00:20:25I like them too.
00:20:26Good.
00:20:27I like them too.
00:20:27I'm going to figure it out.
00:20:28Let's use an SD name.
00:20:29Do everyone?
00:20:29Do them too.
00:20:31You know, you'll make a great husband someday.
00:20:36I already am a great husband.
00:20:38Well, you're certainly full of surprises.
00:20:41What are you doing?
00:20:44These shoes are torture.
00:20:47Shouldn't wear those.
00:20:49Here.
00:20:50A gift.
00:20:52I want you to feel like you can always be comfortable around me.
00:20:58You know my size?
00:21:00I know everything about you.
00:21:12For everything.
00:21:14That's all for you.
00:21:30You might be mental.
00:21:48I just thought I'd give you a break.
00:21:50I don't have to worry about me.
00:21:52Fine.
00:21:58Arran, did your light just move?
00:22:06Aaron, did your leg just move?
00:22:22Aaron, did your leg just move?
00:22:26I swear his leg just moved.
00:22:29Is that even possible?
00:22:30Good morning.
00:22:39Good morning.
00:22:41I had no idea my wife was so affectionate.
00:22:44I was just stretching.
00:22:47Stretching, huh?
00:22:50You need a little sexy morning workout?
00:22:55Happy to help?
00:22:56I think we did enough of that last night, don't you think?
00:23:00Did we?
00:23:12Come to the office.
00:23:13I've got a secret that'll blow your mind.
00:23:28What's all this about?
00:23:29Vivian, sweetie, has your perfect husband told you about his first love?
00:23:35He may be married to you, but I heard his heart belongs to someone else.
00:23:41It doesn't matter.
00:23:45He's my husband, whether he loves me or not.
00:23:49You really are delusional.
00:23:53Ashley, why don't you focus on yourself?
00:23:55Start working on your resume.
00:23:57Because the first thing I'm doing when I'm CEO is firing dead weight.
00:24:01Like you.
00:24:01You're not going to get away with this.
00:24:07That'll be all.
00:24:09You're dismissed.
00:24:13So Aaron does have a first love.
00:24:16Whatever.
00:24:17Back to business.
00:24:21I can't make dinner tonight.
00:24:23Meeting Everest's rep at the office.
00:24:25Wish me luck.
00:24:26Mom, we can't let Vivian secure this Everest deal.
00:24:36If she does, we're finished.
00:24:38Relax, darling.
00:24:40Everest rep, Ralph, he has a particular kink.
00:24:44And Vivian is exactly his time.
00:24:49Oh, this is getting good.
00:24:56No new leads on Steven.
00:24:59Our team tried tracking down additional surveillance from the night of the accident.
00:25:02No luck.
00:25:04I've waited five years at this point.
00:25:06That's a little bit longer.
00:25:09Once Vivian's able to secure Lawrence Corp,
00:25:11we'll have everything we need to recover the footage.
00:25:13There's something else.
00:25:15The woman who saved your life that night,
00:25:18we might finally have a lead on her.
00:25:20Find her.
00:25:21Whatever it takes.
00:25:24Who's handling the Everest meeting tonight with Vivian?
00:25:30Ralph.
00:25:33Get the car.
00:25:35We need to go now.
00:25:43To a successful partnership.
00:25:47Before we finalize anything,
00:25:50I want to see how enthusiastic you are about this deal.
00:25:55Of course.
00:25:57Our latest proposal.
00:25:59Not what I meant.
00:26:00I prefer a more personal approach.
00:26:04Your scar is such a turn-on for me, Miss Lawrence.
00:26:07Please, don't touch me.
00:26:09Relax.
00:26:10Let's toast to a real partnership.
00:26:13Get off me.
00:26:14Get off me.
00:26:15Get back here.
00:26:20Eric?
00:26:21Mr. X.
00:26:27Ralph.
00:26:28You really crossed the line this time.
00:26:35You really crossed the line this time.
00:26:38Mr. X.
00:26:39I swear, it was her.
00:26:41She was trying to steal our company's secrets.
00:26:43She attacked me.
00:26:44That is my wife.
00:26:45If she wanted this company,
00:26:47she would already have it.
00:26:49Mr. X, I didn't know.
00:26:51I was just following orders.
00:26:53Whose orders?
00:26:56Ashley Lawrence.
00:27:00Call the lawyers.
00:27:02Take his confession.
00:27:04Every single word.
00:27:06And William.
00:27:07Make sure I never see his face at Everest again.
00:27:15X?
00:27:29Last night.
00:27:31How did I get home?
00:27:35The CEO from Everest Capital brought you.
00:27:38How you feeling?
00:27:40Like I got hit by a truck?
00:27:42Yes.
00:27:42Wait, so his ex?
00:27:46Do you know him?
00:27:47No.
00:27:48Why would I know him?
00:27:49I don't know.
00:27:50I remember.
00:27:52He was tall.
00:27:54Broad shoulders.
00:27:57Actually looks a lot like you.
00:28:00Okay.
00:28:01Your legs, are they better?
00:28:03I swear the other day I felt them move.
00:28:07You know, I love your optimism,
00:28:09but I'm afraid you're going to be stuck with me
00:28:11just the way I am.
00:28:12You know I didn't mean it like that.
00:28:14I know.
00:28:14I'm just teasing you.
00:28:16So I guess I didn't sign the deal with Everest Capital.
00:28:20If I can't secure this partnership,
00:28:21I'll lose my claim to Lawrence Corp.
00:28:31Wait.
00:28:32What?
00:28:32What?
00:28:32That was Everest Capital.
00:28:45X agreed to sign the deal.
00:28:50This deal?
00:28:52You brought it back with you last night.
00:28:54But why?
00:28:54But why?
00:28:55Why would X agree to work with me?
00:28:57I didn't even get a chance to tell him about the proposal.
00:29:00Don't question it.
00:29:02Obviously, he wants this partnership.
00:29:05Just kind of wish I could have helped you out
00:29:07the way that X did.
00:29:09Well, it doesn't matter.
00:29:10Once I get back Lawrence Corp,
00:29:12everything will be different.
00:29:13And no matter what happens,
00:29:16I'm always going to be by your side.
00:29:21It's time.
00:29:22She's late.
00:29:40There's no way she closed the deal.
00:29:42Told you.
00:29:43Everest Capital doesn't work with nobody's.
00:29:48Given the circumstances,
00:29:50I'll be resuming my position as CEO.
00:29:52Who said I failed?
00:29:59Given the circumstances,
00:30:00I'll be resuming my position as CEO.
00:30:03Who said I failed?
00:30:06Per our agreement,
00:30:08I signed the deal with Everest Capital.
00:30:10Which means I run Lawrence Corp now.
00:30:14Where's your scar?
00:30:15Yeah, that was fake.
00:30:18No, this is impossible.
00:30:20You weren't even supposed to come back.
00:30:21You mean after your little setup,
00:30:23sending Ralph after me?
00:30:25Cute.
00:30:26Really.
00:30:27Enough.
00:30:27Stop this nonsense.
00:30:29We have here an official statement
00:30:30from the CEO of Everest
00:30:31confirming that Ashley Lawrence
00:30:33instructed Ralph
00:30:34to harass her business partner,
00:30:35Vivian Lawrence.
00:30:36Everest Capital has entered in
00:30:37a permanent partnership
00:30:38with Lawrence Corp
00:30:40under Vivian's leadership.
00:30:41So, Mr. David Lawrence,
00:30:43Ashley Lawrence,
00:30:44you're both blacklisted.
00:30:45You're both officially removed
00:30:46from Lawrence Corp.
00:30:48Effective immediately.
00:30:49No, you're not going to get away with this.
00:30:51I'm your father.
00:30:52No, no, no.
00:30:52You can't do this to me.
00:30:55Watch me.
00:30:56What's all this for?
00:31:04Our wedding was rushed,
00:31:06so I figured it's time
00:31:07that my bride gets what she deserves.
00:31:12An exquisite choice.
00:31:13We had this be specifically restored
00:31:15to Mr. X's request.
00:31:18X?
00:31:18I mean, Mr. Christopher, of course.
00:31:24Silly me.
00:31:25Suck of the tongue.
00:31:26Here, try it on.
00:31:33It's beautiful.
00:31:35It suits you.
00:31:37This movie's gorgeous.
00:31:39It must have cost...
00:31:40Don't worry about it.
00:31:42You deserve the best.
00:31:43Aaron, I...
00:31:47I heard about your first...
00:31:49Sorry.
00:31:51Yeah.
00:31:53What?
00:31:54You found her.
00:31:56I'll be right there.
00:31:57I have to take care of something.
00:31:59You keep going.
00:32:01I'll be back.
00:32:01I'll be back.
00:32:13This isn't just a necklace,
00:32:16Mrs. Christopher.
00:32:17This is a symbol
00:32:18of eternal love.
00:32:20It must mean a lot to him.
00:32:21Absolutely.
00:32:23Mr. Christopher had this restored
00:32:24five years ago.
00:32:26Said it was meant
00:32:26for his future wife.
00:32:28Five years ago?
00:32:31This wasn't meant for me.
00:32:33It was for her.
00:32:35His first love.
00:32:40We found her.
00:32:41The woman who saved
00:32:42your life that night.
00:32:43Hey!
00:32:55Hey, stay with me.
00:32:57Vivian?
00:32:58It was you?
00:33:09I can't keep this.
00:33:11Why not?
00:33:16It was meant for your first love,
00:33:17wasn't it?
00:33:18It doesn't matter.
00:33:21This belongs to you now.
00:33:22Our marriage has always
00:33:27just been a contract.
00:33:29Now that I have
00:33:30Lauren's court back,
00:33:31I'll fulfill my end of the deal.
00:33:34We'll start making
00:33:35arrangements tomorrow.
00:33:37That really sounds like
00:33:38you're trying to get rid of me.
00:33:40I know you've always
00:33:41had a first love.
00:33:43Maybe one day
00:33:44you'll go find her.
00:33:45I don't want to be
00:33:46standing in the way.
00:33:49Well, since we are
00:33:50still married
00:33:51for the time being,
00:33:52maybe there's something
00:33:54you can help me out with.
00:33:58Well, what did you have in mind?
00:33:59Do you like what you're seeing?
00:34:21Do you like what you're seeing?
00:34:22I guess the accident
00:34:28didn't stop you
00:34:29from staying in shape.
00:34:32You're not so bad yourself.
00:34:52Maybe this isn't the best time.
00:35:01You should go before
00:35:02I forget how to behave myself.
00:35:12I forgot my
00:35:14track it.
00:35:22Wait, did he just stand?
00:35:27No.
00:35:28Impossible.
00:35:30Unless
00:35:31he's hiding something.
00:35:33Maybe it's time
00:35:34I dropped by his office
00:35:36unannounced.
00:35:44Mr. X.
00:35:46Christopher Group.
00:35:48It's just Aaron.
00:35:49Some new developments
00:35:50from the PI firm
00:35:50about Stephen's involvement
00:35:51in the accident
00:35:52but without the
00:35:53recovered footage
00:35:54I'm afraid we still
00:35:55don't have a case.
00:35:56Yeah, I'm working on that.
00:35:58Once we can get that footage
00:35:59to the team at Lawrence Corp
00:36:00we can end this.
00:36:05If Aaron's hiding something
00:36:06he might slip up at work.
00:36:09Lucky for me
00:36:09I have the perfect excuse.
00:36:12Hi.
00:36:13Vivian Christopher,
00:36:14Aaron's wife.
00:36:15I'm just here
00:36:16to drop off some lunch.
00:36:17I'm sorry ma'am.
00:36:18Mr. Christopher
00:36:19isn't accepting
00:36:19any unscheduled visits.
00:36:21I'm not here
00:36:21for a business meeting.
00:36:23Just lunch.
00:36:24I'm afraid we have
00:36:24really strict policies.
00:36:26You'll need to make
00:36:26an appointment.
00:36:34Off!
00:36:35Back here!
00:36:37You!
00:36:43You!
00:36:44So, you're my new sister.
00:36:50You're Stephen Christopher.
00:36:52The tie.
00:36:54The height.
00:36:54Even his face
00:36:55looks like the man
00:36:56at Everest that night.
00:36:57Could Stephen be X?
00:36:59Such a shame, isn't it?
00:37:00A woman like you.
00:37:02Based on a man like Aaron.
00:37:03Keep your hands to yourself.
00:37:05Wow.
00:37:06Fiery.
00:37:08Stephen...
00:37:09Did I meet you
00:37:11at Everest Capital
00:37:11the other night?
00:37:12I don't know.
00:37:13You tell me.
00:37:15Are you...
00:37:17X?
00:37:19Look,
00:37:19if you're the one
00:37:20that saved me,
00:37:21fine.
00:37:22I owe you.
00:37:23But don't think
00:37:24for a second
00:37:25that gives you
00:37:25the right to
00:37:26disrespect Aaron.
00:37:27Owe me?
00:37:28See, that's
00:37:29an interesting thought.
00:37:31Maybe we can
00:37:32discuss some form
00:37:34of repayment.
00:37:35Touch my wife again,
00:37:37you'll lose
00:37:37that fucking hand.
00:37:46Touch my wife again,
00:37:48you'll lose
00:37:48that fucking hand.
00:37:51Relax.
00:37:52Don't get yourself
00:37:52worked up.
00:37:54Just being friendly
00:37:55is all.
00:37:55Or you're just
00:37:56worried about
00:37:57the Christopher Group
00:37:57Gala tonight.
00:37:59Yeah, maybe you're
00:38:00afraid to remind
00:38:01everyone you haven't
00:38:03done anything
00:38:03worthwhile
00:38:04since the accident.
00:38:09We'll be there.
00:38:11I look forward
00:38:12to seeing you again,
00:38:12Vivian.
00:38:26Steven,
00:38:26your brother?
00:38:28He kind of
00:38:29reminds me of X.
00:38:32X?
00:38:33Steven can barely
00:38:35put together
00:38:35a sentence,
00:38:36let alone run
00:38:37an empire.
00:38:39He is my father's
00:38:40illegitimate son.
00:38:41He has
00:38:42always
00:38:43resented me.
00:38:47And he's also
00:38:48the reason
00:38:48that I'm in this
00:38:48wheelchair.
00:38:50What?
00:38:51I've been trying
00:38:55for five years
00:38:56to track down
00:38:57the evidence
00:38:58and soon
00:39:00hopefully I'll have
00:39:00everything that I
00:39:01need to show
00:39:02that it was him.
00:39:04I'm so sorry.
00:39:06You must hate him.
00:39:09I did.
00:39:11Yeah.
00:39:14Until you came along
00:39:15and
00:39:15you showed me
00:39:17that there's more
00:39:18to life than just
00:39:18revenge.
00:39:19I'll be by
00:39:23your side
00:39:23no matter
00:39:24what.
00:39:29If only the past
00:39:31didn't exist.
00:39:33No first love.
00:39:34No what ifs.
00:39:36Just us.
00:39:39Just him
00:39:39and me
00:39:40as husband
00:39:41and wife.
00:39:41take my
00:39:43hand
00:39:44and my
00:39:45promises.
00:39:55So you're Vivian.
00:39:57As striking
00:39:58as I expected.
00:39:59You know Aaron's
00:40:00kept his distance
00:40:01since the accident.
00:40:02If I hadn't
00:40:02insisted on meeting
00:40:03you,
00:40:04he never would
00:40:05have shown.
00:40:06Father,
00:40:08you know my health
00:40:09makes outings
00:40:09inconvenient.
00:40:10Aaron,
00:40:10tonight is a
00:40:11celebration.
00:40:12Stop dragging
00:40:13old wounds
00:40:14into it.
00:40:14It's an honor
00:40:15to finally meet you,
00:40:16sir.
00:40:18Come.
00:40:19Let's talk.
00:40:20Just the two of us.
00:40:31That necklace.
00:40:33Aaron must truly
00:40:34care about you
00:40:34to give you that.
00:40:35That belonged
00:40:36to his mother,
00:40:37one of the few
00:40:37things she left
00:40:38behind.
00:40:39Aaron's mother,
00:40:40I heard she
00:40:40passed away early.
00:40:42Both his
00:40:42and Stephen's
00:40:43mothers are gone.
00:40:44I only hope
00:40:45my sons can
00:40:45take care of
00:40:46each other.
00:40:47Aaron mentioned
00:40:48that Stephen
00:40:49was responsible
00:40:50for his accident.
00:40:52Stephen hurt
00:40:53his own brother?
00:40:54That's absurd.
00:40:57Father,
00:40:59Neviant's chairman
00:40:59is expecting you.
00:41:01Vivian,
00:41:01we'll continue
00:41:02this another time.
00:41:11Vivian,
00:41:12wait.
00:41:13I just want
00:41:13to apologize.
00:41:14I don't want
00:41:15to hear it.
00:41:32brother,
00:41:35your wife
00:41:36was so
00:41:37insatiable
00:41:38last night.
00:41:39I could
00:41:39barely keep up.
00:41:47Hello?
00:41:47Stephen,
00:41:48what have you done?
00:41:49Oh,
00:41:50hello to you too.
00:41:52Well,
00:41:53Vivian and I
00:41:53had quite the
00:41:54intimate evening
00:41:54last night.
00:41:55Yeah.
00:41:56Yeah,
00:41:56you could say
00:41:57that she couldn't
00:41:57keep her hands
00:41:58to herself.
00:41:59I swear to God,
00:41:59Stephen,
00:42:00it...
00:42:00you don't want
00:42:01to wake her up
00:42:01now,
00:42:02do you?
00:42:02Come on,
00:42:03she's in my bed
00:42:03with nothing
00:42:04on but my sheets.
00:42:06Stephen?
00:42:19Stephen?
00:42:20What the hell?
00:42:22We...
00:42:23we did.
00:42:26Morning,
00:42:26sweetheart.
00:42:28You couldn't
00:42:28keep your hands
00:42:29off me
00:42:29last night.
00:42:30Liar.
00:42:30I'd never...
00:42:31Really?
00:42:33Well,
00:42:35how would you
00:42:35explain this?
00:42:41How would you
00:42:42explain this?
00:42:45This one.
00:42:47This one's
00:42:47my favorite.
00:42:48You asshole,
00:42:49don't touch me.
00:42:52Wow,
00:42:53you are feisty.
00:42:55Jesus.
00:42:56But you are a lot
00:42:57prettier when
00:42:58you are quiet.
00:42:59who the hell are you?
00:43:07Get away from me!
00:43:08I warned you.
00:43:09You lay a finger
00:43:10on her
00:43:11and you are dead.
00:43:12Jeez,
00:43:13we don't have to get
00:43:13a so violent,
00:43:14brother.
00:43:15Besides,
00:43:17I have these.
00:43:20Son of a bitch!
00:43:21Hey!
00:43:22If you roll any closer,
00:43:24these little gems
00:43:25go viral.
00:43:25Get the damn phone!
00:43:28You don't think
00:43:29I have backups?
00:43:33What do you want?
00:43:35Simple.
00:43:37Step down.
00:43:38You resign
00:43:39as Everest Capital CEO.
00:43:42And I'll just take over
00:43:43as ex from here on out.
00:43:44Or we could just show
00:43:48the world
00:43:48what your wife
00:43:49was up to last night.
00:44:07Would you look at that.
00:44:09And now Everest Capital
00:44:10is mine.
00:44:12See,
00:44:13signing over a billion
00:44:14dollar company
00:44:15to your brother
00:44:16for a woman?
00:44:18Now that's either
00:44:19real devotion
00:44:19or just plain stupid.
00:44:23Delete the photos
00:44:24and you'll have
00:44:26my resignation
00:44:26in two months.
00:44:27Two months?
00:44:28Two months.
00:44:29Well,
00:44:30I'll make sure
00:44:30we both burn.
00:44:32All right.
00:44:33Two months.
00:44:34Guess I don't have
00:44:34to worry about you
00:44:35going anywhere
00:44:36in that state.
00:44:36Aaron,
00:44:47after everything
00:44:48that happened
00:44:49with Steven,
00:44:50how are we supposed
00:44:51to go back to normal?
00:44:54It's too much.
00:44:57Maybe we should
00:44:58end this.
00:45:01Evian,
00:45:02none of this
00:45:02was your fault.
00:45:03You've been through
00:45:04so much already.
00:45:05you deserve
00:45:07real happiness.
00:45:10Maybe even
00:45:11with that woman
00:45:12you've always loved.
00:45:15Don't worry,
00:45:16I'll still hold up
00:45:17my end of the deal.
00:45:21Do you remember
00:45:22the stormy night
00:45:22five years ago
00:45:23on Houston Road?
00:45:26A car accident?
00:45:27It was you.
00:45:45You have never
00:45:46been second.
00:45:50Never a replacement.
00:45:51my first love,
00:45:55Vivian.
00:45:58It's always been you.
00:46:05Always.
00:46:14I like it
00:46:15when you take charge,
00:46:16Mrs. Christopher.
00:46:17Stay to the plan.
00:46:30When I resign,
00:46:31nothing changes.
00:46:33I still run this show.
00:46:34And now for some
00:46:40breaking news.
00:46:41X,
00:46:41the mysterious CEO
00:46:43of Everest Capital,
00:46:44has officially resigned.
00:46:46The reason remains
00:46:47unclear.
00:46:48This is a disaster.
00:46:49We're about to close
00:46:50on the client deal.
00:46:51Who's going to be
00:46:51running the show now?
00:46:53Gentlemen,
00:46:55let's not panic.
00:46:57Everest Capital
00:46:58is in great hands.
00:47:00Mine.
00:47:00I,
00:47:02Steven Christopher,
00:47:03am your new CEO.
00:47:04And let me tell you,
00:47:05this company's future
00:47:06just got a whole lot brighter.
00:47:09I wouldn't get ahead
00:47:10of yourself,
00:47:10Steven.
00:47:14I wouldn't get ahead
00:47:15of yourself,
00:47:15Steven.
00:47:17I hate to interrupt
00:47:18your little coronation,
00:47:19but there's been
00:47:20a change in management.
00:47:22What the hell
00:47:22are you doing here?
00:47:23This is an executive...
00:47:24Before stepping down,
00:47:26Mr. X transferred
00:47:26his 70% company shares
00:47:28to me.
00:47:29It was my existing
00:47:3030%.
00:47:31Well,
00:47:32you do the math.
00:47:34That's right.
00:47:35I own this company now.
00:47:37No, no, no.
00:47:37This is a joke, right?
00:47:38And as my first
00:47:40order of business,
00:47:41please,
00:47:42escort CEO Steven out.
00:47:44No, no, no, no.
00:47:45You can't.
00:47:45I'm the CEO.
00:47:47You're not getting
00:47:48away with this!
00:47:51Let's get down
00:47:51to business.
00:47:54Great work.
00:47:56Now we just need
00:47:56to make sure
00:47:56we keep him out
00:47:57for good.
00:47:58You've been home a lot
00:48:03lately.
00:48:04Is everything okay
00:48:05at the office?
00:48:11You've been home a lot
00:48:12lately.
00:48:13Is everything okay
00:48:14at the office?
00:48:15Why?
00:48:15Are you tired
00:48:16of having me around
00:48:17already?
00:48:17Of course not.
00:48:18Just wondering
00:48:19what's going on.
00:48:20Did someone piss you
00:48:21off at work,
00:48:22or is Steven
00:48:23playing dirty again?
00:48:24What if
00:48:25I just want to
00:48:27spend a little bit
00:48:28more time
00:48:28with my wife?
00:48:30Or should I say
00:48:30the mighty CEO
00:48:32of Lawrence Corp?
00:48:33And she cooks!
00:48:35I'm going to have to
00:48:35stick around for life.
00:48:40Vivian,
00:48:41what did you put in this?
00:48:43Oh my god.
00:48:47I swapped the sugar
00:48:48and the salt.
00:48:50Three minutes.
00:48:51I'll be right back.
00:48:52Don't move.
00:48:53Okay.
00:49:05Et voila.
00:49:07Are you sure you don't
00:49:13want to quit the business
00:49:14and cook for me full-time?
00:49:21Good news.
00:49:22Guess who just pitched
00:49:23to Steven's biggest client?
00:49:32Trust me.
00:49:33Whether it's Christopher Group
00:49:34or Everest Capital,
00:49:35as long as I'm running things,
00:49:38our deal's locked in.
00:49:39Steven!
00:49:41I have some good news for you.
00:49:44Unless you're resigning,
00:49:46I don't think I'm interested.
00:49:48Our biggest investor,
00:49:50Mr. Frank,
00:49:50just decided to negotiate
00:49:52directly with our board.
00:49:53Which means...
00:49:54Which means you're
00:49:55officially off the hook.
00:49:56No stress,
00:49:57no responsibilities.
00:49:59Exciting, huh?
00:50:00You think that's funny?
00:50:02Hey,
00:50:03business is cutthroat.
00:50:04Hang in there, buddy.
00:50:21Your next meeting
00:50:21is in 30 minutes.
00:50:23I'll get the presentation ready.
00:50:27Back-to-back meetings again.
00:50:28Why am I so exhausted
00:50:31all of a sudden?
00:50:34I'll take a quick nap.
00:50:40A proper house husband
00:50:42could never let his hard-working wife
00:50:43go hungry.
00:50:45I swear I would marry you
00:50:46all over again
00:50:47just for this.
00:50:47Our deal with Everest Capital
00:50:58is a game-changer.
00:50:59If we execute the plan
00:51:01we're proposing,
00:51:02we will go far beyond
00:51:03what's been possible
00:51:03so far in this sector.
00:51:05Our margins and production rates
00:51:06are impossible
00:51:07for competitors to...
00:51:08No doubt under Vivian
00:51:09our profits have skyrocketed.
00:51:11Yeah, but when's the last time
00:51:12that she slipped?
00:51:13Lately she looks like
00:51:14she's running on fumes.
00:51:15Care to loop us in
00:51:16too little conversation?
00:51:18Don't forget,
00:51:18I'm your CEO.
00:51:20I don't think I need proof.
00:51:24Prove that I have
00:51:25what it takes to...
00:51:28Get in there!
00:51:29Go, go, go, go!
00:51:40Good news.
00:51:41It's nothing critical.
00:51:43Just exhaustion.
00:51:44But also,
00:51:46there's something else.
00:51:47What is it?
00:51:49You're three months pregnant.
00:51:51Congratulations.
00:51:52I'm sorry.
00:51:54What?
00:51:57This can't be happening.
00:52:05This can't be happening.
00:52:07We've triple-checked the results.
00:52:09There's no mistake.
00:52:10You are definitely pregnant.
00:52:12You are definitely pregnant.
00:52:17Steven?
00:52:21This wasn't supposed to happen.
00:52:25You always have a choice.
00:52:27But, considering your medical history,
00:52:30if you terminate,
00:52:32there's a high chance
00:52:33you may never conceive again.
00:52:35I need time to digest this.
00:52:39I need time to digest this.
00:52:50Excuse me.
00:52:51I need time to digest this.
00:52:52Okay.
00:53:00Hi.
00:53:01I'm Ashley Lawrence.
00:53:02Vivian's sister.
00:53:04She's been a little emotional lately,
00:53:07so she wanted me to check on her results for her.
00:53:12Family should look out for each other.
00:53:13Am I right?
00:53:14You told me it was just an act?
00:53:22Why the hell is Vivian pregnant?
00:53:24Relax.
00:53:24I never touched her.
00:53:26Okay?
00:53:26That kid is not mine.
00:53:28Then whose is it?
00:53:29Her disabled husband?
00:53:31We both know that's not possible.
00:53:33Maybe Vivian isn't as innocent as she puts on.
00:53:36This could work out for us.
00:53:38Let's picture the scandal for a sec.
00:53:40A wife caught between two brothers.
00:53:43How do you think Aaron will handle that?
00:53:51Aaron?
00:53:54I'm pregnant.
00:53:58Wait, seriously?
00:54:01That's great news.
00:54:03No, it's not.
00:54:05Because I don't know if it's yours.
00:54:08You think it might be Stephen's?
00:54:11I don't know.
00:54:12I just...
00:54:13I can't be certain what happened that night.
00:54:17I can't keep it.
00:54:19I won't.
00:54:23Listen to me.
00:54:25This child is yours.
00:54:27That's all that matters.
00:54:30Just stay where you are.
00:54:31I'm coming to get you.
00:54:32I'm coming to get you.
00:54:40Vivian?
00:54:51Vivian?
00:54:54What are you doing?
00:54:55She's coming with me.
00:54:57We have a lot to talk about.
00:54:59What the hell did you say to her?
00:55:02I'm just helping her see the truth.
00:55:03I asked him to meet me.
00:55:08I need to figure this out.
00:55:11Let's go.
00:55:12I need you to be honest with me.
00:55:25You were just trying to get a rise out of Aaron.
00:55:28Nothing actually happened that night.
00:55:30Right?
00:55:31Of course something happened.
00:55:33Then why don't I remember anything?
00:55:36I don't know.
00:55:37Maybe you blacked out.
00:55:39But I remember quite vividly.
00:55:42You were certainly into it.
00:55:43One of the best nights of my life.
00:55:48Let me out.
00:55:49Now, Stephen!
00:55:50Okay, Jesus.
00:56:03I've decided.
00:56:05I'm not keeping this baby.
00:56:10You know that if you go through with this,
00:56:12you might never be able to have children again.
00:56:16But if there's even the slightest chance
00:56:18that it's Stephen's,
00:56:20how do I live with that?
00:56:23How do you?
00:56:27This isn't about Stephen.
00:56:32This child is yours.
00:56:35That's all I need to know.
00:56:37DNA doesn't define family.
00:56:40Love does.
00:56:40And Vivian,
00:56:42I love you.
00:56:57It's Stephen's reaction to the pregnancy.
00:57:00Something doesn't feel right.
00:57:03It's too confident.
00:57:05Too assured.
00:57:10Aaron,
00:57:11something doesn't add up.
00:57:12Something doesn't add up.
00:57:19Why?
00:57:19What's going on?
00:57:21The night Stephen drugged me.
00:57:23It was barely two months ago.
00:57:25This baby is three months alone.
00:57:27So you're saying the baby was conceived before that night?
00:57:32It was before I met you.
00:57:34I was supposed to go on a blind date.
00:57:36I stayed at a hotel,
00:57:39met this guy.
00:57:41It has to be from that night.
00:57:45Yeah,
00:57:46it's gotta be.
00:57:48It's not Stephen's.
00:57:50Thank God,
00:57:51it's not his.
00:57:58It's all happening.
00:58:00Stephen's finished.
00:58:01We've notified his clients
00:58:03that the evidence against him
00:58:04has officially been filed in court.
00:58:05I can't believe that tomorrow
00:58:11I get to finally put all this behind me.
00:58:14Show what really happened
00:58:16the night of the accident.
00:58:18And it's all because of you.
00:58:21I sent William everything.
00:58:23My team recovered.
00:58:24It's all there.
00:58:26Make sure Stephen never
00:58:28comes back from this.
00:58:30Oh, don't worry.
00:58:31He's finished.
00:58:35You should be more careful.
00:58:41Aaron's been sniffing around.
00:58:42I'm not even worried in the slightest.
00:58:45We're orchestrating Aaron's downfall together.
00:58:47If you continue to play your part,
00:58:50I'll make you my wife.
00:58:52You better keep your word.
00:58:53Don't even worry.
00:58:54By tomorrow,
00:58:56the old man will sign everything over to me.
00:58:58But once I'm running Christopher Group,
00:59:00you'll have everything I promised.
00:59:09Father, you shouldn't push yourself so hard.
00:59:12The doctor warned you
00:59:13stress isn't good for your heart.
00:59:14I don't want you to worry about me, son.
00:59:17I just want what's best for you
00:59:18and for the company.
00:59:21I'm sure all of you are wondering
00:59:23what the big news is.
00:59:24I've decided it's time
00:59:26to embark on a new chapter
00:59:28in this company.
00:59:30I'm officially signing over Christopher Group
00:59:33to Stephen.
00:59:36Any objections?
00:59:36Stephen has done nothing
00:59:42but proven his loyalty.
00:59:43Thank you, Father.
00:59:44I know I have some big shoes to fill here,
00:59:47but I promise that I will try my best
00:59:49to carry this family's legacy.
00:59:55I object.
01:00:01There's the accident.
01:00:05There.
01:00:06What should I say?
01:00:11Attempted murder.
01:00:12This is impossible.
01:00:13No, no, no.
01:00:13The camera on that road was...
01:00:15Sabotaged?
01:00:16Yeah.
01:00:17I know.
01:00:19Lucky for us,
01:00:19Lawrence Corp
01:00:20is world-class in data recovery.
01:00:24Stephen,
01:00:24tell me this isn't true.
01:00:28I had nothing.
01:00:31I had to crawl my way to the top
01:00:33while he was at it everything.
01:00:34I just wanted it to be seen.
01:00:38Speaking of secrets,
01:00:39here's another big one.
01:00:42After the crash,
01:00:43I pulled away.
01:00:46I faked an injury.
01:00:49I just wanted this snake
01:00:53to think that he'd won.
01:00:55And in the meantime,
01:00:58I also built Everest Capital.
01:01:03Mysterious X?
01:01:06Me.
01:01:06Aaron,
01:01:08Aaron,
01:01:08your patience and resilience.
01:01:12You were always meant to leave.
01:01:15But you,
01:01:17you took the wrong path.
01:01:19I've always been supportive of you,
01:01:21but it's over.
01:01:22You are no longer part of this family.
01:01:24No, no, no, no.
01:01:26You can't do this to me.
01:01:27Actions have consequences.
01:01:29Now get out.
01:01:39You know what?
01:01:40You're gonna regret this!
01:01:41Get your hands off me!
01:01:54So I guess this means
01:01:56things didn't go as planned.
01:01:57If you're here to rub it in,
01:01:59just like the rest of them,
01:02:00get in line.
01:02:02You and me?
01:02:04We're cut from the same cloth.
01:02:06You,
01:02:07the bastard's son,
01:02:08and me,
01:02:09the stepdaughter nobody wanted.
01:02:12So why do we keep
01:02:13playing their game
01:02:15when we could just
01:02:17rewrite the rules?
01:02:30Vivian.
01:02:33Let me explain.
01:02:35What's there to explain?
01:02:36How you lied to me?
01:02:37How you made me look like
01:02:40a complete fool
01:02:41while I poured my heart out.
01:02:43No.
01:02:43No!
01:02:45My feelings for you
01:02:46were never a lie.
01:02:49I just,
01:02:49I had to make sure
01:02:50that my plan would work.
01:02:51I couldn't risk it.
01:02:52And you didn't trust me
01:02:53to be part of it.
01:02:58There's no coming back from this.
01:03:02We're done, Aaron.
01:03:04I want a divorce.
01:03:05Damn, Viv.
01:03:22You moving in
01:03:22or launching an apartment store?
01:03:24Come on.
01:03:25You can't spare one room
01:03:27for your bestie?
01:03:28Yeah.
01:03:28Well,
01:03:29Daddy put my black card
01:03:30in timeout,
01:03:31so technically I'm broke.
01:03:33But now that you're a CEO,
01:03:36I guess you could be
01:03:37my sugar ma.
01:03:38Yeah?
01:03:39Fine.
01:03:41At least make yourself useful
01:03:42and help me unpack.
01:03:45Okay.
01:03:46Yeah.
01:03:47Yeah.
01:03:47Thanks.
01:03:52So,
01:03:53you're really divorcing Aaron?
01:03:55He lied to my face
01:03:56for months.
01:03:57What am I supposed to do?
01:03:58Applaud his performance?
01:04:00Okay,
01:04:01but he did kind of do it
01:04:02to take down Stephen.
01:04:03Aaron Christopher
01:04:04has officially assumed
01:04:06leadership of Christopher Group,
01:04:07securing his place
01:04:09as the new CEO.
01:04:10Damn.
01:04:11Your man is really
01:04:12the whole package.
01:04:14Hey,
01:04:14if you're done with him,
01:04:15I'm happy to...
01:04:18Fair enough.
01:04:22Vivian,
01:04:35it's 7 a.m.
01:04:36Are you possessed?
01:04:38Nope.
01:04:39Just focusing on me
01:04:40and getting on with my life.
01:04:42You sure you're not
01:04:43overdoing it?
01:04:44Especially with
01:04:45the baby?
01:04:46Mm-hmm.
01:04:47Still ghosting him?
01:04:52That makes what?
01:04:54300 texts?
01:04:56Damn,
01:04:56the guy's not giving up.
01:04:58I don't want to talk
01:04:59about him.
01:05:00I have exactly
01:05:0129 minutes
01:05:02until I have to deal
01:05:03with corporate sharks.
01:05:04At least have some breakfast.
01:05:06God.
01:05:14By now,
01:05:15Aaron would have
01:05:15dropped off
01:05:16my favorite lunch.
01:05:19No way.
01:05:20Could it be?
01:05:25Could it be?
01:05:28Hey, boss.
01:05:29The research team's
01:05:30ready for you,
01:05:30but someone thought
01:05:31you might skip lunch
01:05:32and brought you this.
01:05:34Let me guess.
01:05:35Aaron?
01:05:37You two still at odds?
01:05:38It's been days.
01:05:39Who wants to fight
01:05:40with a liar?
01:05:42Buddy is a good cook.
01:05:45Let's go.
01:05:50This is our biggest
01:05:51tech breakthrough yet.
01:05:53It relies on
01:05:53the same algorithm
01:05:54that was used
01:05:55to recover the Everest
01:05:56Capitol car accident footage.
01:05:58Hang on.
01:05:59Who was your contact
01:06:00at Everest
01:06:01for that project?
01:06:02Uh, their executive
01:06:03assistant, William.
01:06:05William?
01:06:07Aaron's right-hand man?
01:06:10Could Aaron be X?
01:06:11Tell me the truth.
01:06:19Aaron is X,
01:06:20isn't he?
01:06:26Yes, it's true.
01:06:32Look,
01:06:32you had to fake the injury.
01:06:34You think Stephen
01:06:35would have stopped
01:06:35if he knew Aaron was fine?
01:06:36And what about the lying?
01:06:37Was that a part
01:06:38of the grand strategy, too?
01:06:39You think he wasn't
01:06:42trying to protect you, too?
01:06:43That deal you made
01:06:44with Everest Capital,
01:06:45he made sure it went through.
01:06:46That's how you secured
01:06:47Lawrence Corp.
01:06:48He risked everything
01:06:49to back you.
01:06:50And that night with Ralph,
01:06:52he didn't care about
01:06:53blowing his cover.
01:06:54He just ran in
01:06:54to save you.
01:07:00I have a charity gala tonight.
01:07:03Do you want to be
01:07:03my plus one?
01:07:05After all,
01:07:06we are still married.
01:07:09Ma'am,
01:07:14your leadership skills
01:07:15are turning heads.
01:07:16A toast
01:07:16to your continued success.
01:07:18I appreciate the toast,
01:07:19really,
01:07:20but I'm a disaster
01:07:21with alcohol.
01:07:22Let's not ruin
01:07:23a perfectly good evening.
01:07:24Come on,
01:07:25just one drink.
01:07:26Consider it
01:07:27an investment.
01:07:28Appreciate the gesture,
01:07:29but my wife doesn't drink.
01:07:31I'm sure you understand.
01:07:34Funny.
01:07:35Word is she won't
01:07:36be your wife much longer.
01:07:37But perhaps when she's single,
01:07:39I'll have better luck.
01:07:40Nonsense.
01:07:41I haven't signed a damn thing.
01:07:44She's still mine.
01:07:46All I can say is
01:07:47the rumors might be true.
01:07:49And once it's official,
01:07:50I'll be throwing
01:07:50a fabulous singles party.
01:07:53You should come.
01:07:53Aaron,
01:07:59do you care to dance with us?
01:08:03Come on,
01:08:04just win the song.
01:08:07Ladies,
01:08:07if you'll excuse me,
01:08:08I have to get some air.
01:08:10Rukum finally escaped
01:08:19his fan club.
01:08:22You know you shouldn't
01:08:23be drinking.
01:08:25Come on,
01:08:26let's take you home.
01:08:27Relax,
01:08:28it's just a ginger ale.
01:08:35You are such
01:08:36an asshole.
01:08:37Oh, yeah?
01:08:39So what does that make you?
01:08:41Because this asshole
01:08:42is still so damn
01:08:44in love with you.
01:08:49I'm sorry.
01:08:52What the hell am I doing?
01:09:04Vivian,
01:09:05why are you sneaking in
01:09:06like a teenager
01:09:07past curfew?
01:09:09Because I'm a mess.
01:09:11I was supposed to be done
01:09:13with Aaron,
01:09:13and then,
01:09:15ugh.
01:09:16Let me guess.
01:09:18Things got
01:09:19heated.
01:09:21Maybe I should
01:09:22see you shrink.
01:09:23Look,
01:09:24I just think
01:09:25you should at least
01:09:26have a proper conversation
01:09:27with him.
01:09:28You know,
01:09:29maybe deep down
01:09:30you don't
01:09:31want to leave him?
01:09:44Viv,
01:09:45I was at the hospital
01:09:46with my mom,
01:09:47and you won't believe
01:09:48who I just saw.
01:09:49Who?
01:09:49William with Aaron
01:09:50heading into the ER.
01:09:52What?
01:10:03Christopher?
01:10:04Where is he?
01:10:06Mr. Christopher
01:10:07suffered a severe
01:10:08heart attack.
01:10:09He's in emergency
01:10:10care now.
01:10:11The doctors are doing
01:10:11everything they can.
01:10:13Heart attack?
01:10:14Please,
01:10:23don't take him.
01:10:25Not like this.
01:10:28I love him.
01:10:30I still love him.
01:10:32You need to tell him that.
01:10:35Just give me
01:10:35one more chance.
01:10:36It's more than enough
01:10:42to let the light in
01:10:43The way you're
01:10:46making me feel
01:10:47it's divine
01:10:48It's enough
01:10:50to let it flow
01:10:51let it be
01:10:53Aaron?
01:10:57How?
01:10:58Weren't you just...
01:10:59It wasn't me
01:11:12in the ER
01:11:12It was my dad.
01:11:14Your dad?
01:11:15What happened?
01:11:16Heart attack.
01:11:18Again.
01:11:19Aaron, I...
01:11:22Look,
01:11:23Lawrence Corp
01:11:24has some of the best
01:11:25cardiologists.
01:11:26if you need
01:11:28anything.
01:11:29Vivian...
01:11:33Please,
01:11:33just...
01:11:35promise me
01:11:36you'll take care
01:11:37of yourself.
01:11:39You're
01:11:40holding something
01:11:41back.
01:11:41What is it?
01:11:44I think we need
01:11:45to talk.
01:11:47About the divorce.
01:11:49Really?
01:11:52Do you
01:11:52reconsider?
01:11:53Consider?
01:11:56Yeah, okay.
01:11:59Yeah.
01:12:00Here.
01:12:01Take my car
01:12:02and
01:12:02I'll meet you
01:12:04at home
01:12:04and we can
01:12:05talk there.
01:12:06I just
01:12:06I gotta get back
01:12:07to my dad.
01:12:08Okay.
01:12:09I'll
01:12:09see you there.
01:12:13Yeah.
01:12:26Ashley.
01:12:33What?
01:12:35Dad was in an accident?
01:12:37Is he okay?
01:12:38Where is he?
01:12:40I'll be right there.
01:12:48Dad?
01:12:51It's me.
01:12:52I'm here.
01:12:53Something doesn't
01:12:57feel right.
01:12:59Maybe they already
01:13:00transferred him
01:13:01to the hospital?
01:13:07The procedure
01:13:08was very successful.
01:13:10Your father
01:13:10is stable
01:13:11but you'll need
01:13:1248 hours
01:13:12of close monitoring.
01:13:15I'll come back
01:13:15to check on him
01:13:16later
01:13:16but
01:13:17I need to
01:13:18take care of
01:13:19something at home
01:13:19first.
01:13:20Vivian?
01:13:35Viv?
01:13:39Should I come home?
01:13:40Okay, Vivian, stay calm.
01:14:08Ashley called, Dad was in danger, I rushed home, and I was there, and blacked out.
01:14:20It was a setup.
01:14:23Ashley!
01:14:24Come out!
01:14:25I know it was you.
01:14:29Wow, it took you long enough.
01:14:33You really should have been smart about this, sweetheart.
01:14:36You could have had everything, the money, the power, me, but you just had to throw it
01:14:45all away from that pathetic liar.
01:14:48Go to hell.
01:14:51William, track Vivian's phone.
01:14:53I don't care what it takes.
01:14:55Just find her.
01:14:57I know you've always had a soft spot for Daddy.
01:15:02Well, lucky for you, here he is.
01:15:06Go.
01:15:07Off.
01:15:16Boss, we found her.
01:15:18Send me the info.
01:15:19Meet me there and bring backup.
01:15:21I'll bring back up.
01:15:32Just have to sign it, sweetheart.
01:15:34Transfer all of your Lawrence Corp shares
01:15:36over to Ashley and I.
01:15:40You're my father.
01:15:42How could you do this to me?
01:15:51So you and Ashley were in on this together all along?
01:15:55Why?
01:15:56Why couldn't you just support me?
01:15:58Well, I spent years resenting your perfect mother.
01:16:01Nothing I ever did was good enough for her.
01:16:03And you?
01:16:05Well, let's be honest.
01:16:07You always chose her side.
01:16:09So just sign the damn papers
01:16:11and we can finally move on from all of this.
01:16:14That's the only way you'll walk out of your life.
01:16:17Keep dreaming.
01:16:18Lawrence Corp is my mother's legacy.
01:16:20I'd rather let this place burn down
01:16:22than you parasites take it.
01:16:24Vivian, be reasonable.
01:16:26It's not like you have much of a choice.
01:16:28I knew you'd be stubborn.
01:16:30So here's a little incentive.
01:16:39My darling Vivian.
01:16:40What?
01:16:41I wanted to give you one final message.
01:16:44This was your mom's final gift to you before she died.
01:16:46She recorded a special message
01:16:48and asked me to pass it along to you
01:16:50when the time was right.
01:16:52So it's your choice.
01:16:53Do you care to know your mother's last dying words?
01:16:56Or do you want to say goodbye to her forever?
01:17:01Last chance.
01:17:02Sign the contract.
01:17:04Come on, sis.
01:17:06Don't be stupid.
01:17:15Come on, sis.
01:17:16Don't be stupid.
01:17:17Fine.
01:17:18I'll sign it.
01:17:19I'll sign it.
01:17:31There.
01:17:32Now give me the drive.
01:17:35No!
01:17:37Look at you.
01:17:39Pathetic.
01:17:40All that crying over a worthless piece of plastic.
01:17:43Everything you had.
01:17:46Your company.
01:17:47Your life.
01:17:49It's mine now.
01:17:53Eric!
01:17:54Step away from my wife!
01:17:55Whoa, whoa.
01:17:56Just calm down now.
01:17:59Okay.
01:18:00Steven, what's he doing here?
01:18:01Do something!
01:18:02Gladly.
01:18:03Time to finish what we started.
01:18:05Steven, I told you.
01:18:06If you hurt baby, I'd fucking kill you!
01:18:07Ashley!
01:18:08Steven's hurt.
01:18:09Aren't you going to help your man?
01:18:10Ashley!
01:18:11Steven's hurt.
01:18:12Aren't you going to help your man?
01:18:13Hang on, babe.
01:18:14I'm coming!
01:18:15Aaron, watch out!
01:18:17Oh!
01:18:18Oh!
01:18:19Oh!
01:18:20Oh!
01:18:21Oh!
01:18:22Oh!
01:18:23Oh!
01:18:24Oh!
01:18:25Oh!
01:18:26Oh!
01:18:27Oh!
01:18:28Oh!
01:18:29Oh!
01:18:30Oh!
01:18:31Oh!
01:18:32Oh!
01:18:33Oh!
01:18:34Oh!
01:18:35Oh!
01:18:50Are you okay?
01:18:53Look out!
01:19:03Not so tough now, huh?
01:19:04No, huh?
01:19:05That's it.
01:19:06It's over, Steven!
01:19:09You bitch!
01:19:10You will ruin everything!
01:19:12Say goodbye to your precious mommy!
01:19:15No!
01:19:17Say goodbye to your precious mommy!
01:19:20No!
01:19:28I got it.
01:19:31Steven!
01:19:32What are you waiting for?
01:19:33Put your hands in the air!
01:19:35You're under arrest for kidnapping!
01:19:37It's not my fault.
01:19:39They forced me.
01:19:40Officers!
01:19:41I think you should look into my mother's death.
01:19:46I don't think this is their first crime.
01:19:50Oh God, we're finished.
01:19:57It's okay. Over.
01:20:00It's all right.
01:20:02Finally, you two.
01:20:03I'm glad I survived to see you again.
01:20:04But what's this nonsense I'm hearing about a divorce?
01:20:15Um, it's, uh, it's complicated.
01:20:20Complicated?
01:20:21Vivian is the best thing that's ever happened to you.
01:20:24You need to find a way to work it out.
01:20:27Vivian, if my son has done something stupid, you let me know.
01:20:31I will straighten him out myself.
01:20:34But please, reconsider this divorce.
01:20:40He did lie to me, Mr. Christopher.
01:20:44But unfortunately, I'm still hopelessly in love with him.
01:20:49Vivian.
01:20:50I just...
01:20:51Give me some time.
01:20:52I need to think through everything.
01:20:55I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:21:12I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:21:13by tomorrow. Dad, there is one more thing. Steven's going to prison. He kidnapped Vivian
01:21:27and he conspired with Ashley to take over the company while you were sick. My God. After
01:21:33all these years, I felt guilty, favored him, protected him, and this is how he repays me.
01:21:39Hey, no, it's okay. It's done now. You just rest. I'll handle everything, okay? Got this, Dad.
01:21:58Aaron, you lied to me. Then you also came to help me and save my mom's memories.
01:22:09What am I supposed to do now?
01:22:18Vivian, sweetheart, wherever life takes you, I just want you to be happy. And remember
01:22:28that true love is always worth fighting for. I wish you were here, Mom. I don't know what to do.
01:22:39Vivian collapsed. She's at the hospital now. They said something might be wrong with the baby.
01:23:08Hurry. Hurry. What?
01:23:22What? Vivian, I screwed up. I know.
01:23:27But I... I can't lose you. Not again. Because... Because I love you. Just give me one chance to start over.
01:23:45Erin? Erin? How long have you been here? I'm glad you're awake. Everything looks good. Your little one is quite the fighter.
01:23:59definitely inherited Dad's strength. Wait, how do you know who the...
01:24:06Do you remember that night? Before the blind date? You left a note complimenting my, um, exceptional performance.
01:24:14That was you? Vivian, this is our baby. Now we really can be together.
01:24:24I can't believe it. Our story started long before we even knew it.
01:24:29Vivian. Vivian Lawrence, no matter what life throws at us, I promise I will always be by your side.
