A Deal With My Billionaire Donor - Full Movie
Transcript
00:00:00Your overall health is fine, but your AMH levels are low, meaning your ovarian reserves are below average for your age.
00:00:10Um, will that make it hard to get pregnant?
00:00:14Not always, but if you want children, I would recommend you some time soon.
00:00:20Soon? How soon?
00:00:23Ideally within three months.
00:00:25Oh my god. Sweetheart, don't cry.
00:00:34Having you was the best thing I ever did.
00:00:38Mom.
00:00:39I just hope you'll have children of your own one day.
00:00:44After I'm gone.
00:00:45Yes.
00:00:47I promise.
00:00:50I love you so much.
00:00:53I love you, sweetie.
00:00:55I've always wanted kids.
00:00:59Maybe it's time.
00:00:59I'm so sorry.
00:01:21I'm sorry.
00:01:22That was, um, I think, I think that's not me.
00:01:26Hey, I'm sorry.
00:01:34Didn't see that coming.
00:01:37Handsome guy.
00:01:38Unexpected kiss.
00:01:39Are you okay?
00:01:47Mm-hmm.
00:01:48Okay.
00:01:56Well, well.
00:01:57If it isn't my perfect innocent ex, what's the occasion?
00:02:02Are you pregnant too?
00:02:04I'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.
00:02:14Oh, please.
00:02:16You couldn't keep a man, let alone raise a kid.
00:02:19Or, are you here to raid the sperm bank and DIY a family?
00:02:27Hey, get that back.
00:02:28No.
00:02:29Dad.
00:02:31If you're not married by 30, even the trust and the company is 30-year-old.
00:02:35It's fine.
00:02:36Look, Mom, seriously, I...
00:02:38Low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, recommended to start trying within three months.
00:02:49Oh, poor her, my thing.
00:02:51Wow.
00:02:52Looks like the golden goose is running out of eggs.
00:02:55Fuck, fuck.
00:02:56This is truly a plot twist.
00:02:59Ha, ha, ha.
00:03:00Oh.
00:03:03Oh.
00:03:04Oh.
00:03:06Oh.
00:03:06Oh.
00:03:08I'm really worried about you, Claire.
00:03:11I mean, a girl with your history, you think you're going to be able to snag a sperm donor
00:03:15before 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.
00:03:25You can rest assured, I already have a boyfriend.
00:03:30Yeah.
00:03:32MIT, 6'2, IQ off the charts, trust fund air,
00:03:36practically built for greatness.
00:03:38Way better than loser rider.
00:03:43Boyfriend.
00:03:44Ugh.
00:03:45Yeah.
00:03:46Sure, Claire.
00:03:47Uh, let me guess.
00:03:48He lives in the Canadian wilderness?
00:03:50Or some bullshit like that?
00:03:52Ha, ha, ha.
00:03:53And the best thing of all,
00:03:55he has the one thing you can't die.
00:03:57Oh.
00:03:59Kindness.
00:03:59Funny.
00:04:02You're funny.
00:04:03How about we make a bet?
00:04:05If you're not pregnant within, say, three months,
00:04:08you have to admit the truth.
00:04:10You are just a dried up old woman.
00:04:13You have to admit it,
00:04:14out loud,
00:04:16and to the public.
00:04:17Oh, baby, you're bad.
00:04:19What if I win for you?
00:04:21Oh.
00:04:22And if I win,
00:04:25you strip you the office naked,
00:04:27screaming that you are nothing
00:04:28but a little slimy suck-up bitch boy.
00:04:34Deal.
00:04:35Game on, Miss Nobody Wants You.
00:04:38Nobody wants you.
00:04:41Oh, my God.
00:04:43What the fuck did I just do?
00:04:47Even the sperm banks are booked six months out,
00:04:50and I only have three.
00:04:52Where the hell am I going to find
00:04:53the perfect gene donor boyfriend?
00:04:55Oh, God, someone help me.
00:04:57Now, that's interesting.
00:05:02You know,
00:05:03I think I did help with that.
00:05:15Ethan Reed.
00:05:16MIT, PhD, IQ 200.
00:05:19That's my medical report.
00:05:20No genetic disorders,
00:05:22clean family history.
00:05:23I take every box
00:05:25on your donor wish list.
00:05:29Okay.
00:05:30What's the catch?
00:05:32You marry me contractually
00:05:34three months,
00:05:35just long enough
00:05:36to shut my family up
00:05:37and lock in my inheritance.
00:05:39In return,
00:05:40you get my sperm.
00:05:41And we get you pregnant
00:05:43just in time
00:05:44to win your little bet.
00:05:46That's really all you want?
00:05:47A paper marriage?
00:05:50Look,
00:05:51Claire,
00:05:51I'm not looking for love.
00:05:53I'm looking for efficiency.
00:05:58Honestly,
00:05:59this might be
00:06:00the fastest route
00:06:01to motherhood.

00:16:50Welcome to Delta, Mr. Reed.
00:16:53Is it?
00:16:54Uh...
00:16:56Uh...
00:16:57Welcome, sir.
00:16:59I'm...
00:17:00Claire...
00:17:01From design.
00:17:02Hm.
00:17:04Claire
00:17:12Design director
00:17:20Effective
00:17:21Immediately
00:17:23Yes, sir
00:17:29Okay, what?
00:17:32She is fairly qualified
00:17:34And I have been running this program for two years
00:17:37If she is director, then who am I?
00:17:43Support staff
00:17:43Come on, that is blatant favoritism
00:17:46Byron, I've done some research on Milva before acquiring it
00:17:53This sketch, created by Miss Miller herself
00:17:56Has had the highest performing markers a year straight
00:18:01If anything, I'd say this promotion is long overdue
00:18:05So how do you know the new CEO?
00:18:19I, I don't
00:18:21Don't lie
00:18:22He comes and promotes you first thing
00:18:25And you don't know him
00:18:26Come on, babe
00:18:30The new guy's obviously clueless
00:18:32That's why he picked her
00:18:33No real skill
00:18:35It won't lie
00:18:37It won't lie
00:18:38Ethan
00:18:52Claire
00:18:55Why did you buy Milva
00:18:59And make me the director?
00:19:03Well, because you're my wife
00:19:04And more importantly, you're talented
00:19:09Look, Claire, I'm not going to waste that
00:19:13But everyone's gonna think I'm just here because of you
00:19:18Maybe
00:19:20But
00:19:21We're connected nonetheless
00:19:23Claire
00:19:24Contract or not, you are the future mother of my child
00:19:27And the future mother of my child will not be disrespected
00:19:30So
00:19:31I'll tell everyone today and clear the air
00:19:34No
00:19:34Wait, Ethan, you can't go public
00:19:37Please
00:19:40I don't want to be the woman who's known for
00:19:43Using your sperm to climb the ladder
00:19:47Seen by home
00:19:48Writer
00:19:50Candy
00:19:51Anyone
00:19:51You're the CEO, Ethan
00:19:54I'm just
00:19:55I'm just under contract
00:19:57And in three months, it's all over
00:20:02Isn't it?
00:20:07Alright
00:20:08It's your choice
00:20:09Okay
00:20:11Yeah, Byron, what is with that woman?
00:20:23I mean, any sane person would kill me, Mrs. Reed, right?
00:20:27She acts like it's a life sentence
00:20:29That must be what makes her so
00:20:32Interesting
00:20:34Hmm
00:20:35Maybe
00:20:38Long meeting with the CEO
00:20:53I guess that means we can add him to your perfect gene list
00:20:58Someone seems desperate
00:21:02What?
00:21:04Are you nervous?
00:21:05Afraid to lose the back?
00:21:08Mind your own business, Ryder
00:21:09Mind your own business, Ryder
00:21:16I want me back
00:21:34I want me back
00:21:46I want you to shoot a sugar daddy now
00:21:51Ever since I saw her getting that payback
00:22:00Nothing
00:22:01No sign of it again
00:22:03Was it all just for show?
00:22:05Hmm
00:22:05Stale
00:22:06Mr. Reed says you've all been working hard
00:22:08Lunch is on him
00:22:10Design team
00:22:11Can you get your own special menu?
00:22:12Thank you
00:22:13Well, I said you're doing wonderful
00:22:18You bring that to you, Claire
00:22:20Thank you
00:22:21Hmm
00:22:36Tastes fine to me
00:22:54Unless you're pregnant or something
00:22:58You got a secret boyfriend hiding somewhere?
00:23:01Please, um
00:23:15I'm just not feeling great
00:23:17I'm gonna go to the bathroom
00:23:21Claire
00:23:23Claire
00:23:23Could she really be pregnant?
00:23:40What the hell?
00:23:42This is the ladies room
00:23:43No way
00:23:43Are you seriously pregnant?
00:23:45Back off
00:23:45That is none of your business
00:23:47This is if your concerns are bad
00:23:48Now spill
00:23:49Who's the Maybach guy?
00:23:51Your sperm donor?
00:23:54She said back off
00:23:55I'm just not sure
00:23:57Of the til made it
00:23:58I'm just not sure
00:23:59No way
00:23:59Yeah
00:24:00I'm just not sure
00:24:01From whatever
00:24:03also
00:24:03I'm just not that
00:24:03I've tried
00:24:04This is like
00:24:05the film
00:24:06Move to guilt
00:24:08Because the film
00:24:08is the world
00:24:09It's really great
00:24:10You look
00:24:10Like the film
00:24:11What about
00:24:12It's really, like
00:24:12super
00:24:25She'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.
00:24:43Kiss her eggs really are busted, aren't they?
00:24:45Or maybe that perfect gene donor of yours, shooting blanks.
00:24:49I'll tell you what, I'll help you out for a whole time's sake.
00:24:53Don't want that mummy in the bone.
00:24:55You are disgusting!
00:25:03Oh, you bitch.
00:25:09Touch her, and I swear it'll be the last thing you ever do.
00:25:13Fuck.
00:25:14What the fuck?
00:25:17Sorry, it's just a joke.
00:25:18Linox, you're awfully protective of your employee.
00:25:21Is that something I should know about?
00:25:22What happens between Claire and me, it's none of your goddamn business.
00:25:30So, your damn mouth shut if you want to keep your job.
00:25:34Okay?
00:25:34Okay?
00:25:35Claire.
00:25:48Claire.
00:25:50Claire.
00:25:52Hey.
00:25:54Me?
00:25:54Okay.
00:25:54I'm sorry.
00:25:57Here.
00:26:04You've been under a lot of stress, which can reduce ovarian function.
00:26:07Probably 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.
00:26:23All right.
00:26:24We 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.
00:26:48You know, I bet you're pretty bomb at yoga for the shop.
00:26:57Great.
00:26:58Ladies, raise your hands slowly.
00:27:05Gentlemen, support your partners.
00:27:08Breathe together.
00:27:09Breathe together.
00:27:09Don't worry.
00:27:21Don't worry, I'm not going to try anything.
00:27:23Just relax.
00:27:24Now, gently lean back.
00:27:30Your back rests against your partner's chest.
00:27:33Feel their support.
00:27:34Feel the connection.
00:27:36Their grounding presence.
00:27:37It's okay.
00:27:38It's okay.
00:27:40Trust me.
00:27:48You know, you're kind of a system for when you're zen.
00:27:51Now, take your partner in your arms and slowly lean back together.
00:28:19Feel that stretch on your spine and breathe through it.
00:28:38Ready?
00:28:39Yeah.
00:28:45Nice.
00:28:47I'm a picket.
00:28:49Yeah.
00:28:50Whoa!
00:28:53Oh!
00:28:54Oh, my God.
00:28:55I'm so sorry that that was an accident.
00:28:59Lucky me.
00:29:00He's just a contract partner.
00:29:04So why the hell is my heart in your backflips?
00:29:06Um...
00:29:08Is that carrot your mortal enemy?
00:29:24Because you've turned it into confetti?
00:29:27You tried perfectly slicing for prenatal nutrition.
00:29:30I'm a novice under pressure, okay?
00:29:32You're actually trying to ace a pregnancy diet?
00:29:37That's...
00:29:37Oddly endearing.
00:29:44Okay.
00:29:45Let me take over before that carrot presses charges.
00:29:48Uh-uh.
00:29:48Not a chance.
00:29:49Your job is to sit there and lie with me, all right?
00:29:59You supervise.
00:30:01I stress.
00:30:02Okay.
00:30:10What?
00:30:11Wait, did you cut yourself?
00:30:12No, it's just a scratch.
00:30:16Here, let me see.
00:30:21There.
00:30:26Better?
00:30:26Well, this part wasn't in the contract, but...
00:30:44Hell, I don't want her to stop.
00:30:52Well!
00:30:53I hope I'm not catching the honeymoon.
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?
00:31:13Hi, I'm Claire.
00:31:15Chris.
00:31:16Ethan'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 welcome.
00:31:29Perfect.
00:31:31The family's all here.
00:31:32So, 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 gotta 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.
00:32:06Hey.
00:32:07It's not cool.
00:32:09Look, Claire.
00:32:19Listen to me.
00:32:21My brother...
00:32:23He's always been so competitive.
00:32:27I mean, anything I have, he wants.
00:32:28And I know he's, he's not here by accident.
00:32:35So, please, promise me that you'll stay away from him.
00:32:41Yeah.
00:32:42Yeah, of course.
00:32:46You'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 cap 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 air.
00:33:18The one with the spotlight on him.
00:33:20But me?
00:33:22I was born in despair.
00:33:23So, big bro.
00:33:24Once again, you have something that I don't...
00:33:29Let's see who wins this round.
00:33:39Everybody, this is Chris.
00:33:43Oh, God.
00:33:46The 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 land the CEO, the younger Mr. Reid is still a pretty sweet deal.
00:34:09Well, um...
00:34:11Good luck with that.
00:34:12Shh.
00:34:13Oh, and Claire, I believe I'll be reporting to you.
00:34:20I think I'll be in great hands.
00:34:24Uh...
00:34:24Uh...
00:34:25Sorry.
00:34:28Uh...
00:34:28Yeah.
00:34:31Welcome aboard, Chris.
00:34:35She's more than just a deal to you, isn't she?
00:34:38Well, you never did like Sharon.
00:34:41Okay.
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?
00:35:02Thanks.
00:35:02You 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, promise 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?
00:35:29I mean, come on.
00:35:30I'm harmless.
00:35:31I don't bite.
00:35:32Of course not.
00:35:34I just don't think...
00:35:35Relax.
00:35:37I know your marriage to my brother is fake.
00:35:43How?
00:35:44How 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-friendly brother to tie the knot.
00:35:57Even if it is a fake.
00:36:00What do you want?
00:36:02Lunch conversation?
00:36:04If I say no, and he spills the truth, Ethan loses everything.
00:36:10And if I say yes, fine.
00:36:15Just lunch.
00:36:16Great.
00:36:17I will see you downstairs.
00:36:19I will see you downstairs.
00:36:26Claire.
00:36:28My office.
00:36:30Now.
00:36:31I'll be right there.
00:36:32Claire.
00:36:33I'll be right there.
00:36:34I'll be right there.
00:36:34Claire.
00:36:35She really does mean something to you, which means it's just that far.
00:36:45Claire, what did my brother say to you?
00:36:49Nothing.
00:36:50Just work stuff.
00:36:53Claire.
00:36:56Oh, okay.
00:36:58Good.
00:36:59Claire.
00:37:00Please.
00:37:01Just stay away from him.
00:37:03My brother has spent his entire life trying to ruin everything that I have.
00:37:07But I won't let him ruin this.
00:37:14Should I tell him about Chris asking me to lunch?
00:37:20Ethan, what?
00:37:21Hey, boss.
00:37:22Meeting's about to start.
00:37:23Okay, well, I'll be right there.
00:37:26All right, I gotta go.
00:37:27Um, okay.
00:37:28I'll talk to you after, okay?
00:37:33One minute.
00:37:34I can handle it.
00:37:35Ethan's so busy.
00:37:36Okay.
00:37:53Chris?
00:37:59It's the same car as last time.
00:38:04Wait, is Chris the perfect gene guy?
00:38:09After you.
00:38:10Uh, isn't this Ethan's car?
00:38:14It is.
00:38:15No fucking, no fucking way.
00:38:19She actually landed a rich golden boy.
00:38:25Problem.
00:38:29Are you worried that your fake hubby will catch you with the wrong brother?
00:38:34What are you fucking about?
00:38:42Just kidding.
00:38:44We're just grabbing lunch, Miss Miller.
00:38:49No wonder she got director.
00:39:02Anne had the guts to make a bet with me?
00:39:05It's because you're all cozy with the CEO's brother.
00:39:08Hmm.
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.
00:39:35No wonder she jumped the ranks.
00:39:38CEO in the boardroom, brother in the bathroom.
00:39:41I just want to speak.
00:39:42Stop.
00:39:43Stop.
00:39:44Yeah.
00:39:45Oh.
00:39:45What is this?
00:39:49Well, um, boss.
00:39:56Go!
00:39:57Get out!
00:40:00And that will be all.
00:40:04Right away.
00:40:08Sorry.
00:40:09I'm gonna run to the bathroom.
00:40:10It'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.
00:40:32Now, please read all the...
00:40:34She's not picking up.
00:40:36Chris.
00:40:39Chris.
00:40:39You better document.
00:40:41Okay.
00:40:43You?
00:40:48Hello?
00:40:49Chris.
00:40:50Where the fuck did you take her?
00:40:52Yeah, it's this nice little restaurant.
00:40:55It's called...
00:40:56It's a lovely place.
00:41:00Bye-bye.
00:41:01Fuck.
00:41:05Step on it.
00:41:09On it.
00:41:10Fuck it, Chris.
00:41:19You seem...
00:41:20kind of sad.
00:41:22Which is surprising because most women,
00:41:24they can't help but to smile around me.
00:41:26I'm fine.
00:41:29Look, Chris.
00:41:31I've had lunch now.
00:41:33So please,
00:41:33can you keep the contract thing to yourself?
00:41:37It's funny that this marriage
00:41:39is real enough to have a baby,
00:41:41but not real enough to matter.
00:41:45I mean, do you really love him?
00:41:46You bitch.
00:42:05Touch her,
00:42:06and I swear it'll be the last thing you ever do.
00:42:08I guess...
00:42:14I do like him.
00:42:17A little.
00:42:18Oh!
00:42:19There's some hesitation.
00:42:21I'm not so sure if you're so sure.
00:42:26And how exactly does that concern you?
00:42:28Because if it's not love,
00:42:31maybe you just chose the wrong brother.
00:42:34You just chose the wrong brother.
00:42:38Neil,
00:42:38are you trying to be funny right now?
00:42:41I am your sister,
00:42:42your brother's wife.
00:42:45I'm leaving.
00:42:46Why don't you
00:42:47sit back down?
00:42:50What are you doing?
00:43:02Careful.
00:43:03What?
00:43:06Nothing.
00:43:07You just have a little something right here.
00:43:13I guess that's just what happens
00:43:14when you're too focused on eating.
00:43:16Are you insane?
00:43:18No.
00:43:20I'm just testing out a theory.
00:43:22Seeing how he would react.
00:43:25Who?
00:43:25What the fuck are you doing?
00:43:42Ethan.
00:43:43What are you doing here?
00:43:50Relax.
00:43:52I was just
00:43:53fucking taking care of Claire.
00:43:56Oh yeah?
00:43:57Whatever sick,
00:43:58twisted game you're playing,
00:44:00leave my wife
00:44:01out of it.
00:44:02Come on, Claire.
00:44:06Let's go.
00:44:11Oh, Ethan.
00:44:13You've fallen for her,
00:44:14haven't you?
00:44:15That only makes me want her more.
00:44:16Because now it's my turn to win.
00:44:18Come on.
00:44:19You're hurting me.
00:44:20Yeah?
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
00:44:35and you'll lose your little bet?
00:44:36But 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 our marriage is fake,
00:44:46she'll cut you off.
00:44:48Huh.
00:44:48She's actually worried about me,
00:44:50not just the baby.
00:44:51God, I mean,
00:44:52you are blowing this
00:44:53way 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.
00:45:06Okay.
00:45:08Claire.
00:45:09I am falling in love with you.
00:45:11And I was not prepared for that.
00:45:13Honestly, I didn't think I wanted that
00:45:15until 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?
00:45:25Please.
00:45:28We need to know if you feel the same.
00:45:32Right.
00:45:33Adieu.
00:45:40Adieu.
00:45:40My God.
00:45:47I'm so sorry.
00:45:55No.
00:45:55No.
00:45:57Hello.
00:45:57Oh.
00:45:57No.
00:45:58No.
00:45:59No.
00:45:59No.
00:45:59No.
00:46:00No.
00:46:00No.
00:46:00No.
00:46:01No.
00:46:01No.
00:46:02No.
00:46:02No.
00:46:03Congratulations Mrs. Reed. Your hormone levels are back to normal. You're cleared for insemination next week.
00:46:16Oh my god. Thank you so much, Doctor.
00:46:21And?
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.
00:46:33Claire, I'm so sorry I ever met you.
00:46:46Good morning, Nova's very own sperm queen. How's the donor search going?
00:46:50Is the CEO's little brother premium enough for you?
00:46:53What is your problem, Ryder?
00:46:56I caught you cozying up to Chris Reed.
00:46:59I'm curious to see how Ethan's going to react when he finds out you've been playing both brothers.
00:47:06I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:08And what exactly am I looking at? Two coworkers showing up to the office? No wonder you never deliver anything good. You're too busy playing paparazzi all day.
00:47:12Cut the crap, Claire. You strut around here like you earned that title. You think you're better than the rest of us, but guess what? You are nothing but an incubator with broken hearts. Does Chris even know that your eggs are defective?
00:47:25You say one more word and I will sue you for defamation.
00:47:40You filthy bitch. Try me and you're done.
00:47:55And you're done.
00:48:00Claire?
00:48:01Hey.
00:48:02Hey.
00:48:03Are you okay?
00:48:04Hi.
00:48:05Boss, I'm telling you the truth.
00:48:07Claire was only getting close to Chris because of a bet, okay?
00:48:10She's not this sweet, innocent angel. She is just playing him.
00:48:13One more slanderous word towards Claire and you're fired.
00:48:16For fuck's sake. She's just an employee. Why are you protecting her like this?
00:48:20Because.
00:48:21Because!
00:48:22Because!
00:48:23He is my future girlfriend's boss.
00:48:28Oh, and Claire.
00:48:29I 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.
00:48:46I'm trying to work Claire.
00:48:52Uh.
00:49:01Keep your filthy hands off her! She's a married woman!
00:49:05Wait, what? Claire is married?
00:49:08To who?
00:49:14To who?
00:49:15To who?
00:49:16To who?
00:49:18To who?
00:49:22Careful, 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.
00:49:32If she gets angry and takes away your inheritance, well, the breed group might just fall in my hands.
00:49:36I'm her husband!
00:49:45How is that even possible?
00:49:46How is that even legal?
00:49:49Whoa!
00:49:50I can't believe you actually did it!
00:49:52You chose love over legacy!
00:49:54I mean, I am impressed!
00:49:57But...
00:49:59You missed out...
00:50:01The 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 stay the fuck out of our relationship, Chris!
00:50:11Cool.
00:50:17Off.
00:50:18Big 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.
00:50:28Cause I won't let you get close enough to steal her from me.
00:50:30No!
00:50:31No!
00:50:32That's enough!
00:50:33Both of you, stop!
00:50:34Stop it!
00:50:35Wait, Claire!
00:50:36Wait, Claire!
00:50:38Wait, Claire!
00:50:40Both of Reed brothers are fighting over Claire.
00:50:41What has she got that we don't?
00:50:42No!
00:50:43No!
00:50:44No!
00:50:45No!
00:50:46No!
00:50:47No!
00:50:48No!
00:50:49No!
00:50:50No!
00:50:51No!
00:50:52No!
00:50:53No!
00:50:54No!
00:50:55No!
00:50:56No!
00:50:57No!
00:50:58No!
00:50:59No!
00:51:00Her bedroom skills, of course.
00:51:02That's probably how she earned my promotion.
00:51:04How did I not see this sooner?
00:51:06She is sleeping her way to the top.
00:51:08What's left?
00:51:09Shut your mouth!
00:51:12If word of this gets out, I will end you.
00:51:17Claire!
00:51:18Claire!
00:51:19Let go of me!
00:51:20I'm sorry.
00:51:21I screwed up.
00:51:23I was impulsive.
00:51:24I can stop to think about how you might feel going public with our relationship.
00:51:28Stay fit, Ethan.
00:51:29Ethan.
00:51:30I am done.
00:51:31I can't do this anymore.
00:51:33No.
00:51:34No.
00:51:35Please.
00:51:36Please don't go.
00:51:37I only did it because I was scared of losing you to Chris.
00:51:40And that's why I rushed to tell everybody that you're my wife.
00:51:43But what about the consequences?
00:51:46If your mother finds out we're in a fake relationship, you'll lose everything.
00:51:50And Chris and I are not a thing.
00:51:52Okay?
00:51:53Hey.
00:51:54Listen to me.
00:51:55Right 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.
00:52:18No.
00:52:19No.
00:52:20Don't worry.
00:52:21All right.
00:52:22I'm here with you.
00:52:24Whatever comes our way, we'll face it together.
00:52:27Okay?
00:52:28Okay?
00:52:29Okay.
00:52:47Sophia, if you don't hop on a plane right now, your ex, he might find us happily ever after somewhere else.
00:52:54What?
00:52:55That workaholic.
00:52:58I'm falling for someone.
00:53:00No.
00:53:01No.
00:53:02Not possible.
00:53:13Book me the next flight to New York.
00:53:21I don't care who she is.
00:53:25Ethan Reed is mine.
00:53:33Mmm.
00:53:33Their cooking has actually gotten a lot better.
00:53:43Doctor just confirmed.
00:53:45You're good to go.
00:53:47Mine преarlets tomorrow.
00:53:52Perfect.
00:53:53We'll leave first thing in the morning.
00:53:55Go where?
00:53:56Exactly.
00:54:09Sophia?
00:54:12You're back?
00:54:15Oh, Ethan, I miss you so much!
00:54:23Um, well, Claire, this is Sophia, an old friend.
00:54:33Sophia, this is my wife.
00:54:37Ceci.
00:54:39Pleasure.
00:54:41Though I'm not just friend.
00:54:46I'm Ethan's ex.
00:54:50We broke up two years ago.
00:54:52It's nothing.
00:54:53We were so in love back then.
00:54:56I thought you'd wait.
00:54:57You 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.
00:55:06I thought that's what you wanted.
00:55:11Well, actually, she's my pick for brand manager.
00:55:16That won't be a problem for you, right, brother?
00:55:18What's the matter, Ethan?
00:55:21You don't want me back?
00:55:24Well, I'm afraid that decision's not entirely up to me.
00:55:27That's up to the board to decide.
00:55:29No!
00:55:31It's funny.
00:55:32What a coincidence.
00:55:32I just so happen to have their signatures, right?
00:55:37Oh.
00:55:38Well, if that's what the board wants, fine.
00:55:55We'll see if you're up to the task.
00:55:57Why did you tell me about Ethan and Claire?
00:56:13What's your angle?
00:56:13I want Claire, and you want Ethan.
00:56:17We can help each other out.
00:56:18Help each other how?
00:56:20You?
00:56:21You can blow up their little fairy tale.
00:56:23And me?
00:56:24We'll carve your path straight to Ethan.
00:56:28Everyone wins.
00:56:30Let the games begin.
00:56:34Hey.
00:56:36What are you doing?
00:56:37Look, Claire, I'm...
00:56:39I'm sorry if the night upset you.
00:56:41No.
00:56:43But would it be bad if I was a little glad if it did?
00:56:49Because that would mean that you were jealous.
00:56:52At least when you do care.
00:56:55Don't flatter yourself.
00:57:04She's from my past.
00:57:06All right, but...
00:57:08You...
00:57:08are my wife.
00:57:12And...
00:57:13once you're finally pregnant,
00:57:16we can make it official.
00:57:19A wedding.
00:57:20A life together.
00:57:22Wait.
00:57:23Wait, what did you just say?
00:57:25I don't want
00:57:27a contract marriage with you.
00:57:30I want forever.
00:57:32Are you serious?
00:57:33And when my mom's back from Europe,
00:57:35we'll tell her, too.
00:57:37Look, our marriage won't just be
00:57:40for show anymore.
00:57:43Then...
00:57:43then yes,
00:57:45of course.
00:57:46We could try for that baby ourselves.
00:57:59Try for that baby ourselves.
00:58:02We could.
00:58:05Oh, my God.
00:58:06Oh, my God.
00:58:16Oh, my God.
00:58:17Ethan.
00:58:38Ethan...
00:58:39Ethan...
00:58:39I fell down the stairs.
00:58:40you come up
00:58:42I'm really hurt
00:58:44I can't move
00:58:45Sophia
00:58:46is there not anybody else you can call?
00:58:50Hey Vince
00:58:50I don't know anyone else in this city
00:58:53who else am I supposed to call?
00:58:55Besides
00:58:55are we not still friends?
00:58:58No
00:58:59fine
00:58:59yeah
00:59:00I'll be over in just a few
00:59:01Hey
00:59:05what happened?
00:59:08Um
00:59:09it's
00:59:09Sophia
00:59:10she apparently fell and hurt herself
00:59:12and
00:59:12well she doesn't really know anybody in the city
00:59:14so
00:59:14I just
00:59:16I need to go over and check on her
00:59:17Do you want me to come?
00:59:20No
00:59:21no no no
00:59:21you
00:59:21stay here and rest
00:59:23I need to go over and check on her
00:59:34I need to go over and check on her
00:59:36SofĂ­a, you said you were hurt.
00:59:46Yummy.
00:59:49I did hurt my ankle.
00:59:52It still hurts when I walk.
00:59:54See?
00:59:57No.
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.
01:00:07Seeing you now, I realized what I gave up.
01:00:11What we had.
01:00:12It's over.
01:00:14I'm married now.
01:00:17Married?
01:00:18It's just a contract.
01:00:20What?
01:00:21You think she loves you?
01:00:23She's in it for the genes.
01:00:26And honestly, even...
01:00:28Who could blame her?
01:00:32No, 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, we won't even be friends.
01:00:46All right.
01:00:48Friends, then.
01:00:50At least that way, I still get to see you.
01:00:53The latest male contraceptive.
01:00:59Not FDA-approved yet, but it can instantly be off the date soon.
01:01:04Oh, Ethan.
01:01:05No way I'm letting that bitch, Claire, carry 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.
01:01:27She can borrow you, but you're mine to the grave.
01:01:42They took your sample ages ago.
01:01:45Why haven't they called me in?
01:01:46Do you think something's wrong?
01:01:50Claire.
01:01:52Come on.
01:01:53Stop overthinking.
01:01:54All right?
01:01:55You know, they're probably just swamped with patients.
01:01:57I mean, stuff like this happens all the time.
01:02:00Yeah.
01:02:01See?
01:02:02Doctor, can I go in now?
01:02:05Not quite, Mrs. Reed.
01:02:06We've just received the results.
01:02:12Unfortunately, Mr. 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, that can't, right?
01:02:23I'm perfectly healthy.
01:02:24My sperm is fine.
01:02:25Test me again.
01:02:25I understand this is very upsetting, but the numbers are mine.
01:02:29I suggest a Reed test in two weeks.
01:02:31In the meantime, rest, nutrition, hydration.
01:02:39No, this doesn't make any sense.
01:02:43Hey.
01:02:44Maybe you're just working too hard?
01:02:47You were there for me when this all started, and now it's my turn.
01:02:52We'll get through this together.
01:02:56Bye.
01:02:57Together.
01:03:01Should we plan on having this whole thing up by 2026?
01:03:15I mean, we have an additional 5,000 rooms on the left wing that we have-
01:03:19Apologies for being late.
01:03:21Everyone, this is Sophia Turner.
01:03:32Effective immediately, she will be taking over as head of the branding division.
01:03:35She walks in late, and she's already manager.
01:04:02What's her background?
01:04:03I mean, it's getting clear, do you point out?
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 to take her throne, huh?
01:04:17I guess that means the temp wife position isn't getting renewed.
01:04:21Nice.
01:04:22They 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?
01:04:47Do you ever wonder if Ethan only married you to scare me back into his life?
01:04:56What?
01:04:57I twisted my ankle last night.
01:05:00Oh!
01:05:00He freaked.
01:05:02It was like his world was ending.
01:05:05He promised me he wouldn't let you get pregnant.
01:05:09And, oh, didn't your little fertility trip to the hospital fail?
01:05:15Well, how did he know that?
01:05:18Because I gave him a glass of wine with a little something extra.
01:05:25And let's just say his swimmers are on strike.
01:05:28I watched him drink it and totally enjoy it.
01:05:33Something extra.
01:05:34Wait.
01:05:35Are you telling me you gave him a drug that he'll sperm?
01:05:38And he knew about it?
01:05:41Obviously!
01:05:41Oh, my God!
01:05:42You're so much more naive than I thought.
01:05:46Claire.
01:05:47Babe.
01:05:48Honey.
01:05:50Cinderella only becomes a princess in the fairy tales.
01:05:53And we ain't in one.
01:05:55So!
01:05:56Why don't you go pack your things?
01:05:58Because Mrs. Reed.
01:06:01That's my name.
01:06:05Bye!
01:06:05I should trust Ethan.
01:06:17Sophia probably just settled up to mess with my head.
01:06:21One call to the doctor.
01:06:23I'll prove she's lying.
01:06:25Dr. Young?
01:06:26It's Claire.
01:06:27I just had a quick question.
01:06:28Um, Ethan's sperm motility came back low.
01:06:34Could that ever be caused by medication?
01:06:38Given Mr. Reed's health history, this result is unusual.
01:06:42It's quite possible he was exposed to something that impairs sperm function.
01:06:47Thank you, doctor.
01:06:52She wasn't lying.
01:06:54Hey!
01:07:14Hey!
01:07:15What?
01:07:19What are you doing to a down hero by yourself?
01:07:21Wait, is everything okay?
01:07:28You've kind of seemed a little down lately.
01:07:38Just ask if there's an explanation.
01:07:46Ethan, the night you went over to Sophia's, did you drink anything?
01:07:50Uh-huh.
01:07:51Yeah, wine.
01:07:55Why?
01:07:57So it's true?
01:08:00He drank that wine on purpose, fully aware.
01:08:03Maybe he never wanted to get me pregnant.
01:08:06Did you even know what that meant?
01:08:09Did you even know what that meant?
01:08:13Meant?
01:08:14What do you mean?
01:08:16I...
01:08:16Diffension.
01:08:18Why the hell is she asking me this?
01:08:26To me, it just meant I set boundaries with her.
01:08:28We're just friends now, right?
01:08:30Um...
01:08:30I mean, I guess...
01:08:32Yeah, yeah, I know what that meant.
01:08:34It's all true.
01:08:36I was naive, thinking we could have a future.
01:08:39Sophia was right.
01:08:40But maybe it's time we start putting some distance between us.
01:08:46Tom.
01:08:49What is going on in that little head of yours?
01:08:55Nothing.
01:08:55I'm fine.
01:09:01Oh, um...
01:09:02So I'm flying out tomorrow with Sophia.
01:09:06She just landed a major contract.
01:09:09And so our hospital case is going to have to wait.
01:09:13But I'll be back as soon as I can.
01:09:15No need.
01:09:19Our contract's almost up anyway.
01:09:20Ah, exactly.
01:09:22Finally won't have that thing looming over our heads.
01:09:25Sophia.
01:09:39Um, I'll just take this through.
01:09:41I'll be right back.
01:09:42So that's it.
01:09:47You couldn't even wait for the contract to end?
01:09:49To be with her again?
01:09:52Fine.
01:09:54I won't stand in your way.
01:10:03Ahem.
01:10:06Well, our three-month bet is hitting the final stretch.
01:10:09Belly's still flat.
01:10:10The CEO was off on a trip with his ex.
01:10:12Oh, ouch.
01:10:13Are you feeling the heat yet?
01:10:15The whole clock is ticking.
01:10:17You lose, and we want your confession loud and clear.
01:10:22I'm a dried-up old hag.
01:10:26Don't break up the confetti quite yet.
01:10:29I still have one month left.
01:10:32Oh, TikTok.
01:10:33I'm a jerk.
01:10:43Pleasure doing business with you.
01:10:45Pleasure is much.
01:10:46Likewise.
01:10:50Boss, you cut things short and bumped your flight.
01:10:54Trying to get home to Mrs. Reed?
01:10:55You know it. She's ovulating tomorrow, so I'm going to take the first flight back I can.
01:11:01And when she's expecting...
01:11:04Ha-ha! Got a new surprise for her.
01:11:11Wow, that is so stunning.
01:11:15Mind if I take a closer look?
01:11:18Sure.
01:11:25Um, what are you doing?
01:11:32Um, sorry, it's so beautiful. I just... I needed a picture. I couldn't resist.
01:11:40Put it back in the box.
01:11:42Now?
01:11:43Yeah.
01:11:43Right now?
01:11:50Am I really going to lose to Ryder?
01:11:55Oh! Careful. You're going to flood the kitchen.
01:12:03So you finally found out that my brother's lying to you, haven't you?
01:12:09Mind your own business.
01:12:10He only married you for the inheritance.
01:12:23He was never going to actually get you pregnant. He's too far in with Sophia.
01:12:28Leave him, Claire. He's not worth it.
01:12:31And you're going to be my white knight?
01:12:33You're only talking to me because I'm a pawn in your little sibling game.
01:12:36Look, yeah, maybe at first, of course, I wanted to steal you away from him.
01:12:45But then, I saw your heart.
01:12:50I saw your generosity.
01:12:52I saw your work ethic.
01:12:54And I actually care.
01:12:55Do you think I am dumb or something?
01:13:00You and Ethan really are brothers.
01:13:02Different jerks.
01:13:04Same old script.
01:13:06You want a kid, right?
01:13:10My papers.
01:13:12I have a perfect sperm count.
01:13:14I can help you.
01:13:15You don't have to put all your eggs into one basket.
01:13:17So you'd rather lose the bed
01:13:22and be the jokes that everyone thought you were?
01:13:36Oh, God, I don't know.
01:13:39Chris would make the perfect donor, but...
01:13:42Why can't I feel at peace about it?
01:13:55Pretty, huh?
01:13:57Ethan proposed.
01:14:02He...
01:14:02He proposed her.
01:14:05See, I told you.
01:14:10My brother, he only ever saw you as a business strategy.
01:14:13But me, I can take real care of you.
01:14:17No lies, no contracts.
01:14:21Right.
01:14:24I'll take the deal.
01:14:26I will use your sperm.
01:14:28You got it!
01:14:31There's one thing you need to take care of first.
01:14:35You're so much more naive than I thought.
01:14:45He promised me he wouldn't let you get pregnant.
01:14:49Though I'm not just a friend.
01:14:52I'm Ethan's ex.
01:14:55Pretty, huh?
01:14:57Ethan proposed.
01:14:58Ethan, this time, it's really over.
01:15:15Ethan, this time, you're finally gonna lose.
01:15:28Ethan, this time, we're ready for the procedure.
01:15:30Claire!
01:15:34Your turn.
01:15:36Doctor's waiting.
01:15:46If you need anything, just yell for me.
01:15:52Miss Miller?
01:15:53This way.
01:15:54We're ready for the procedure.
01:15:55Knock yourself up, champ.
01:16:09Claire.
01:16:12Where are you?
01:16:15You really don't know how to pick up your phone.
01:16:22Donor agreement?
01:16:23Donor agreement?
01:16:25What?
01:16:27Byron, to the hospital now.
01:16:30On it.
01:16:38Miss Miller?
01:16:40Are you ready?
01:16:42Yes, doctor.
01:16:44I am.
01:16:44Like that.
01:17:00Like that.
01:17:00Like that.
01:17:02Okay.
01:17:03Relax.
01:17:20It'll be over soon.
01:17:21Checkmate, brother.
01:17:26Checkmate, brother.
01:17:31Claire!
01:17:32Claire!
01:17:34You!
01:17:36Where is she?
01:17:38You're too late.
01:17:41She's already in there getting inseminated by my...
01:17:44Claire!
01:17:53Claire!
01:17:55Claire!
01:17:56Claire!
01:17:58Claire!
01:17:59Claire!
01:17:59Claire!
01:18:00Ethan!
01:18:01Calm down.
01:18:02This is a hospital.
01:18:03Let's...
01:18:03Claire!
01:18:04Let's go.
01:18:08Claire.
01:18:11Claire.
01:18:13Why did you accept Chris as your donor?
01:18:15Talk to me.
01:18:16Ethan.
01:18:17We are done.
01:18:19What?
01:18:20Claire.
01:18:21We had plans.
01:18:23I mean, aren't we in this together?
01:18:27What changed?
01:18:28Hands off, Ethan.
01:18:29She is my girlfriend now.
01:18:33She's my wife.
01:18:36Oh.
01:18:38Maybe not for long.
01:18:40She signed the divorce papers.
01:18:42And soon, he will too.
01:18:44And the both of you will be nothing but strangers.
01:18:51No, you signed.
01:18:53No.
01:18:55No, he's lying.
01:18:56Tell me he's lying, Claire.
01:19:00Sign them.
01:19:01Please.
01:19:13No.
01:19:14I won't sign without an explanation.
01:19:21Oh, come on, Ethan.
01:19:23She just wanted your perfect jeans.
01:19:26What?
01:19:28You thought she really loved you?
01:19:30No, I don't believe that.
01:19:34Claire, I need to hear it from you.
01:19:37You want an explanation?
01:19:39Fine.
01:19:40You married me for your inheritance.
01:19:43At the same time, you were messing around with Sophia, letting her drug you.
01:19:46I mean, a sperm-killing drug, Ethan, really?
01:19:50And you think I didn't know that you proposed to her?
01:19:53You are just pretending to care now because you're scared I'll find out and break the contract.
01:19:58Am I right?
01:19:59Sperm-killing?
01:20:01Proposed?
01:20:02What the hell are you talking about, Claire?
01:20:04It's over, Ethan.
01:20:07I mean, don't you get it?
01:20:09She already signed the divorce papers.
01:20:11And Claire over here, she's carrying my child.
01:20:15Stop it!
01:20:21Don't hurt him.
01:20:22Chris has nothing to do with this.
01:20:24What?
01:20:25You're protecting him now?
01:20:28Are you okay?
01:20:30Look, Claire.
01:20:32I'm not letting you leave me until you give me an explanation.
01:20:36Right?
01:20:36What medication are you talking about?
01:20:38I've never taken anything like that in my life and proposed this over you.
01:20:41That's just insane.
01:20:42What the fuck?
01:20:43Literally, Claire, you are the only person I've ever wanted to marry.
01:20:56Didn't you already give that ring to Sophia?
01:20:59What?
01:20:59Uh, dramatic much?
01:21:02I literally just tried it on, like, for a second, like, for funsies.
01:21:06Okay, that is not what she said.
01:21:10She posted this online.
01:21:11Said you proposed to her.
01:21:12The boss said that ring custom-made for you.
01:21:15He wrapped up the business deal early just to catch the next flight back.
01:21:18Sophia is just not trying.
01:21:21That's all it wants.
01:21:23Okay, get out of here, Byron!
01:21:26Please.
01:21:27Claire, you have to listen to me.
01:21:28I would never hurt you.
01:21:31Okay, but...
01:21:33What about the night you went over to Sophia's?
01:21:36What?
01:21:36You knew she drugged your drink and you drank it anyways.
01:21:40That's why your tests came back like they did.
01:21:43You never wanted a baby with me.
01:21:47Wait, what?
01:21:50You fucking drugged my drink?
01:21:53You fucking drugged me and set me up.
01:21:57I wonder if you couldn't try.
01:21:58Why would you do that?
01:22:00To be drugged is a strong word, but I could not bear to see you end up with Claire.
01:22:05That bitch doesn't deserve you.
01:22:07You are the bitch, Sophia.
01:22:13Manipulative and pathetic.
01:22:15Oh, you filthy little...
01:22:17Ethan, defend her all you want.
01:22:22Does not change the fact that she could be carrying Chris's child right now.
01:22:27And now the two of you, never gonna happen.
01:22:30That's right.
01:22:32She chose me.
01:22:34So stay out of my relationship.
01:22:36Chris, you knew about Sophia's plan, didn't you?
01:22:39Or have you two been scheming together this entire time?
01:22:46Does it matter?
01:22:47I mean, you're already carrying my child.
01:22:50And you signed the divorce papers.
01:22:52You and the whole Reed Empire is now mine.
01:22:57Oh, and best of all, I finally beat you, brother.
01:23:02Oh, and it feels so good!
01:23:05You pathetic asshole!
01:23:07I don't belong to you.
01:23:08You can go rot in hell.
01:23:10I'm bastard!
01:23:15Look, Claire, listen to me.
01:23:17All right, I don't care whose child you're carrying or who gets the inheritance.
01:23:22The only thing I care about is that I get to spend the rest of my life with you.
01:23:31Wow!
01:23:33I mean, the crown prince groveling to play daddy to my son!
01:23:38Captain, Ethan, I can give you a child, okay?
01:23:42You don't want this bitch to be the one who...
01:23:44Shut up!
01:23:45Don't listen to that.
01:23:46All right, you are the only thing that matters to me.
01:23:49No, Ethan.
01:23:51You should care.
01:23:52Because my future child, your inheritance,
01:23:55it's all yours.
01:24:00What?
01:24:05I never used Chris's soup.
01:24:08I couldn't go through with it.
01:24:09Oh, my God.
01:24:18Relax.
01:24:19It'll be over soon.
01:24:19You know,
01:24:23I can't go through with it.
01:24:26Not until you know the truth.
01:24:33I'm sorry.
01:24:34No, it's okay.
01:24:37Ms. Miller,
01:24:38please don't book the procedure unless you're sure.
01:24:41Some of us value our time.
01:24:43Oh, my God.
01:24:48Claire.
01:24:49Thank you so much for not giving up on us.
01:24:53You've got to be kidding me!
01:24:58Don't fucking touch her!
01:25:00All right, this is fucked up even for you, Chris.
01:25:03Byron,
01:25:04send his ass back to England.
01:25:05Make sure he never comes back.
01:25:07Yes, sir.
01:25:13You'll regret this, both of you.
01:25:16You'll never be happy!
01:25:17Oh, thank God.
01:25:29Claire.
01:25:33Will you marry me?
01:25:36For real this time?
01:25:38Yes.
01:25:38Yes, I will.
01:25:41Come on.
01:25:48It's beautiful.
01:25:50It's beautiful.
01:25:50I don't know.
01:26:20I don't know.
01:26:50I don't know.
01:26:52This time, I'm with the real deal.
01:26:56I don't know.
01:26:58I don't know.
01:27:00I don't know.
01:27:02I don't know.
01:27:06I don't know.
01:27:08I don't know.
01:27:10I don't know.
01:27:12I don't know.
01:27:14I mean, it's okay if we're not.
01:27:16We still have time.
01:27:20We're having a baby.
01:27:22Yeah.
01:27:24We're having a baby.
01:27:30Yeah, it's okay.
01:27:32Claire, Claire.
01:27:40You know, I didn't mean all the stuff I said, right?
01:27:44It was a joke.
01:27:46All right?
01:27:47Right.
01:27:48Come on, hey man, that's a bet
01:27:53Lucky for you, we're feeling merciful, so no full frontal humiliation today
01:27:58No one wants to see that anyway
01:28:02But we did come up with a creative alternative
01:28:07Put that on and then say exactly what you promised and make sure you say it loud enough for the entire office to hear
01:28:18I slept my way to the top, I'm a little bitch boy
01:28:33I remember that reserve is the father of my child
01:28:38Yes
01:28:39Oh, that's good
01:28:41That's really good
01:28:41This is much better than the original plan
01:28:43I think so too
01:28:44Ugly
01:28:48Should we hang on a star?
01:28:57No
