Heiress Iris's journey to motherhood becomes a fight for dignity. Under the manipulation of her mother-in-law Tessa, Iris is torn from her private suite and forced into a substandard ward by her weak-willed husband, Dorian. While battling relentless contractions, Iris faces a different kind of pain: the crushing betrayal of her partner and the cruelty of her new family. Just as her strength falters, a powerful figure from her past appears. Her father's arrival promises not just solace, but a reckoning for those who pushed her to the brink.

00:00You
00:12Where's Dorian?
00:14Maybe he's coming any second now
00:16Can a husband disappears in a moment like this? He'll be here soon
00:21You're just going to get his mom
00:23Seriously, thank you, Anita
00:25For being here
00:27I'm your best friend
00:29I wouldn't miss this for the world
00:33I'm gonna go grab the doctor
00:46Chairman Astor, this gift just came in for you
00:49The CEO of Cartelier
00:51It's a custom cheetah brooch
00:53It's the purest Ruby
00:55On the planet
00:57Not bad
01:10Dad?
01:12I'm about to have the baby
01:14What?
01:16Virus
01:18What?
01:19Are you really walking out on your family?
01:22Dad
01:24You were wrong about Dorian, okay?
01:27He doesn't care about money
01:29He loves me
01:31And I choose him
01:33If you walk through that gate
01:36You are no longer my daughter
01:39And you'll have nothing to do with the Esther name ever again
01:42Even if you never call me your daughter again
01:47Even if you never call me your daughter again
01:50I'm still your dad
01:54And I love your dad
01:56I always will
01:59But I choose him
02:01Because our love is real dad
02:03And I'm gonna prove it to you
02:05I love you
02:20Congratulations, sir
02:21You're gonna be your grandfather
02:22Your grandfather
02:26Dorian still rubs me the wrong way
02:29He barely looks like he could take care of a goldfish
02:32Let alone a family
02:34Still, Irish chose him
02:37And now they're about to have a baby
02:40Maybe it's time I gave the guy a chance
02:43Get the finest gifts money can buy
02:46I want my grandchild to enter the world like royalty
02:53Guess I'll finally see if Dorian's truly worthy of Iris
02:57If not
02:59He'll have me to answer to
03:15Mr. Holland
03:19Mr. Holland
03:20Mr. Holland, what's wrong?
03:21What happened?
03:22You sounded like you were having a heart attack
03:24Hurry, I need to get the Baltimore Sierra from the vault
03:27I need it delivered to Miss Aster ASAP
03:29You're giving that away?
03:31I just got word that Miss Aster
03:33The richest heiress on earth
03:34Is having a baby today
03:36We must congratulate it with a most spectacular gift
03:38If we pull this off
03:39We could have a partnership with THE Aster Dominion
03:42We're talking billions, Jessica
03:44Billions!
03:45No, go!
03:46Run!
03:47Now!
04:03A private hospital?
04:06Doesn't it cost like two grand a night just to stay here?
04:09She's burning through your money like it grows on trees
04:12Mom, please don't get worked up
04:14The doctor said Iris has placenta previa
04:16It's serious
04:18There's a real risk of bleeding
04:20Oh, Dorian!
04:22Your wife's just being dramatic
04:24And who does she think she is?
04:25Some royal heiress or something?
04:27This is why we're bleeding money
04:30If you let her stay in a fancy hospital like this today
04:33Tomorrow, she's going to want to live in Nanny
04:35And then what?
04:36A private chef?
04:38A butler?
04:40What do I do, Mom?
04:42You haven't paid the hospital bill yet, right?
04:44No, not yet
04:45Good
04:47When we get inside, stay quiet and follow my lead
04:51Okay, Mom
04:52Just remember
04:53No other woman will ever love you as much as Mommy does
04:58Oh, my precious baby
05:03Iris, placenta previa is serious
05:06You need to rest and take it easy
05:08We've got you covered around the clock
05:10We'll do everything we can to keep you and your little ones safe
05:14Thank you
05:15Mommy and Daddy are so excited to meet you
05:21You are going to be the happiest baby in the entire planet, I promise
05:30Tessa, Dorian, you're here
05:37Look at this room
05:40This isn't a hospital
05:42She's treating labor like it's a spara treat
05:46Do you know that my friend's daughter-in-laws gave birth at local clinics
05:51And it only cost three grand total
05:55But your wife is spending two grand a night
05:59I don't know, Mom
06:01I think she's just trying to do what's best for the baby
06:03Ugh
06:05Oh, Dorian
06:06Don't be stupid
06:08This has nothing to do with the baby
06:11She's flaunting
06:12She just wants to tell her friends that she gave birth in some luxury suite
06:17I warned you
06:19She is not as sweet as she seems
06:22If you keep letting her burn through your money like this
06:26One day you're going to wake up with nothing left
06:31Then what do I do?
06:33Don't worry, my sweet boy
06:36You're going to handle everything, okay?
06:38Okay?
06:40Let's go
06:42Tessa, Dorian, what were you guys talking about out there?
06:44Oh, actually, the doctor said the bill was due
06:47Do you think you could take care of that?
06:48Oh
06:50Iris
06:51Do you have any idea what all this costs?
06:54A room like this runs 50, 60 grand
06:57Dorian busts his ass every day to support this family
07:02Stop blowing through his savings
07:06And leave this hospital immediately
07:11What?
07:13Leave the hospital?
07:14A good wife doesn't rack up mountains of debt before the baby's even born
07:19Could you just think about Dorian for once?
07:25Tessa, I love him
07:28I'm not wasting anyone's money
07:30I chose this hospital because I have placentia previa
07:33I could bleed out
07:35And it's the only hospital that is equipped for that kind of emergency
07:38I'm not here for comfort
07:40I'm here to protect the baby and make sure that they're safe
07:44Dorian
07:46I know how hard you work
07:48Come on
07:50Just let me stay one night
07:52Just to make sure the baby is stable
07:54And then we can transfer, I promise
07:56Son, don't fall for that
07:58We don't even know if the baby's coming tonight
08:01If she drags this out, it's gonna be thousands more down the drain
08:06Tessa, this is between my husband and I
08:08Please just give us a moment
08:10I'm his mother
08:12Dorian's opinion is my opinion
08:13Now come on
08:14We are leaving this hospital
08:17Ow!
08:21Dorian
08:26Dorian!
08:27Iris, let's just go to a local clinic
08:33Raising a kid is expensive, we need to save where we can
08:36That's right, we're not the bad guys here
08:39Tons of women give birth at local hospitals
08:42But you are a greedy little leech
08:46And I'm not letting you bleed my son dry
08:49What do you think he is?
08:51Your personal ATM?
08:52I'm not trying to waste anyone's money
08:53I'm not trying to waste anyone's money
08:55I have a low lying placenta
08:57And if something goes wrong
08:59The BB could die
09:01Don't go soft on her
09:03Let her play you
09:04Every pregnant woman has complications
09:07Just because it's risky doesn't mean it's gonna happen
09:10If you cave now, she will bleed you dry for the rest of your life
09:15You're right, mom
09:17Thanks for always having my back
09:18Mm-hmm
09:20I'm here for you
09:22Unlike certain people
09:24I will never let someone make a fool of you
09:28Iris
09:30If you wanna stay in this hospital, fine
09:33But you're gonna pay for it yourself
09:35I'm not letting a greedy little wife like you
09:40Waste one more cent of my son's money
09:45Something's wrong with me
09:46I think you called an entrepreneur
09:48No!
09:50Do not take one more step
09:52Until she agrees to pay for it herself
10:16Dorian, what happened to you?
10:17Okay, Rolly and I will help out pay for it
10:19Hi, could you settle the bill with us, please?
10:21Thank you
10:22See?
10:24No!
10:25No!
10:26No!
10:27No!
10:28No!
10:29No!
10:30No!
10:31No!

10:41No!
10:42No!
10:43No!
10:44No!
10:45No!
10:46No!
10:47No!
10:48No!

11:01No!
11:02No!
11:03No!
11:04No!
11:05No!
11:06No!
11:07No!
11:08No!
11:09No!
11:10No!
11:11No!
11:12No!
11:13No!
11:14No!
11:15No!
11:16No!
11:17We have to discharge you.
11:23This is everything I have left.
11:25Is she really broke?
11:27Doesn't make any sense.
11:29With her three jobs, she should have saved
11:31at least 20 grand.
11:33Yeah, well that's because I cover all the household bills.
11:35And ever since I got pregnant,
11:37everything has been going to prenatal stuff.
11:39Vitamins, supplements, hospital visits.
11:41I mean, it all adds up, Dorian.
11:43What on earth has she been through these past three years?
11:47Dorian, can you just...
11:49Please, just consider it alone.
11:51Just...
11:53I swear, I'll pay you back.
11:55Absolutely not.
11:57Don't fall for this.
11:59Every wife stashes emergency cash.
12:02Did you see how she pulled that card out like it was nothing?
12:05Do you think it's her only one?
12:07She's still hiding money.
12:09I know she is.
12:13Dory.
12:15Dory, please.
12:17Please just help me pay the 20 grand.
12:19I swear, I'll pay you back.
12:21Don't fall for her act.
12:23I know what you're playing at.
12:25You're trying to squeeze money out of Dory.
12:28And then you're just gonna run away without paying a cent.
12:32How could you say that?
12:34Okay.
12:35Okay.
12:36Okay, Dorian.
12:37I think something's going to happen with the baby.
12:38The baby's in trouble.
12:39You're not fooling anyone.
12:40If you're really so broke, why are you insisting on staying at such a luxury hospital?
12:54You've already drained him dry.
12:56What more do you want from him?
12:58Dorian.
12:59Dorian, please.
13:00I am begging you.
13:01Please just say something.
13:03Don't fall for her drama.
13:05You have two choices.
13:07Either we can transfer her to a cheaper hospital, or she can pay for everything herself.
13:12And if she doesn't want to do either, then we don't want the baby anyway.
13:17Okay.
13:18I'll listen to you, Mom.
13:20Okay.
13:21I'll listen to you, Mom.
13:23Okay.
13:24I'll listen to you, Mom.
13:26Dorian, I gave up my family to be with you.
13:30And when you started your business, I supported you.
13:33I gave you everything that I have.
13:36I mean, I paid for the mortgage and the car payments.
13:39I have nothing left.
13:40Please save us the sob story.
13:44You ruined your own ties with your family.
13:47Don't blame Dorian for that.
13:49If you want to stay here, then fine.
13:52Pay for it yourself.
13:54But the Bates family is not paying a single cent.
14:01Dorian, it hurts.
14:03Please, can I just see a doctor of hers?
14:06Oh, my God, Iris.
14:07Stop acting like the victim.
14:09Now it all makes sense.
14:11You stayed here to show off.
14:13When did he become so shallow?
14:16He used to become shallow.
14:18Well, aren't you?
14:19If you were really worried about the baby,
14:22why wouldn't you take out a loan?
14:24This is 2025.
14:26There's apps for that.
14:28You want me to take out a highly predatory,
14:31a high-interest loan to give birth.
14:34Who's going to be your grandchild?
14:36I mean, how could you be so heartless?
14:38Are you really guilt-tripping me right now?
14:42You're the one refusing to pay for your own baby.
14:45God, in my day, we didn't need luxury hospitals to give birth.
14:49We gave birth at home for free.
14:52I don't know what my son saw in a gold digger like you.
14:56This is ridiculous.
14:58I didn't marry Dorian for the money.
15:01Stop lying!
15:03If you weren't after our money,
15:06why haven't you taken out the loan yet?
15:09Quit stalling.
15:10.
15:17BASTARDS!
15:18HOW DARE YOU TREAT MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER LIKE THIS?
15:21.
15:23.
15:25.
15:29.
15:33.
15:35.
