A Deal With My Billionaire Donor
Transcript
00:00:00Your overall health is fine, but your AMH levels are low.
00:00:05Meaning your ovarian reserves are below average for your age.
00:00:10Um, will that make it hard to get pregnant?
00:00:14Not always, but if you want children, I would recommend you stop trying soon.
00:00:20Soon? How soon?
00:00:23Ideally within three months.
00:00:26Oh my god.
00:00:30Sweetheart.
00:00:32Don't cry.
00:00:34Having you was the best thing I ever did.
00:00:38Mom.
00:00:40I just hope you'll have children of your own one day.
00:00:44After I'm gone.
00:00:46Yeah.
00:00:48I promise.
00:00:50I love you so much.
00:00:52I love you, sweetie.
00:00:56I've always wanted kids.
00:00:58Maybe it's time.
00:01:00Oh!
00:01:02I'm so sorry.
00:01:04I'm sorry.
00:01:06That was...
00:01:08I think that's fine.
00:01:10Hey, I'm sorry.
00:01:12Didn't see that coming.
00:01:14Handsome guy.
00:01:16Unexpected kiss.
00:01:18Oh.
00:01:19Oh.
00:01:20Um...
00:01:46Okay.
00:01:49Okay.
00:01:56Well, well, if it isn't my perfect innocent ex,
00:02:00what's the occasion?
00:02:03Are you pregnant too?
00:02:05I'm not as efficient as you, Ryder.
00:02:08We broke up, what, three months ago?
00:02:10And Candy is six months along.
00:02:13Impressive timeline.
00:02:14Oh, please, you couldn't keep a man,
00:02:17let alone raise a kid.
00:02:20Or are you here to raid the sperm bank
00:02:23and DIY a family?
00:02:27Hey, get that back.
00:02:31If you're not married by 30,
00:02:32even the trust and the company
00:02:34to your brother is fine.
00:02:36Look, mom, seriously, I...
00:02:38Low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve,
00:02:46recommended to start trying within three months.
00:02:49Oh, for her, I think.
00:02:51Wow, looks like the golden goose
00:02:54is running out of eggs.
00:02:55Oh, fuck, fuck.
00:02:56This is truly a plot twist.
00:02:59I'm really worried about you, Claire.
00:03:10I mean, a girl with your history,
00:03:13you 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.
00:03:24You can rest assured,
00:03:27I already have a boyfriend.
00:03:29Yeah.
00:03:31MIT, 6'2, IQ off the charts,
00:03:35trust fund air,
00:03:36practically built for greatness.
00:03:38Way better than loser rider.
00:03:43Boyfriend?
00:03:44Ugh.
00:03:45Sure, Claire.
00:03:47Let me guess,
00:03:48he lives in the Canadian wilderness?
00:03:50Or some bullshit like that?
00:03:54And the best thing of all,
00:03:55he has the one thing you can't die.
00:03:58Oh.
00:03:59Penis.
00:04:01Funny.
00:04:02You're funny.
00:04:03How about we make a bet?
00:04:04If you're not pregnant
00:04:06within, 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
00:04:15and to the public.
00:04:17Oh, baby, you're bad.
00:04:19The violin for you.
00:04:21Oh.
00:04:22And if I win,
00:04:25you strip through 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.
00:04:40Oh, my God.
00:04:43What the fuck did I just do?
00:04:45Even the sperm banks
00:04:48are booked six months out
00:04:49and I only have three.
00:04:51Where 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 could help with that.
00:05:05Ethan Reed,
00:05:16MIT, PhD,
00:05:18IQ 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.
00:05:26Okay.
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,
00:05:41you get my sperm.
00:05:42And 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, Claire,
00:05:52I'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.
00:06:04All right?
00:06:06Deal.
00:06:15Boss.
00:06:16Prenuptial agreement.
00:06:25Thanks.

00:06:29of artificial insemination.
00:06:31Temporary cohabitation
00:06:32to keep up party appearances.
00:06:34Contract terminates
00:06:35after three months.
00:06:39I'd like to add
00:06:39one more term.
00:06:40Oh.
00:06:41Financial independence.
00:06:43I don't want anyone
00:06:44thinking I'm some gold digger.
00:06:46Fair enough.
00:06:49If that's what you want,
00:06:50I'm in.
00:06:51Great.
00:06:53Great.
00:07:00Lovely.

00:07:08Sure.
00:07:11Good luck.
00:07:16Mrs. Reed.
00:07:18Would you like to go in with him?

00:07:49Um...
00:07:49That's his way.
00:07:50Um...
00:07:50Yeah, I did not mean
00:08:04that I was gonna...
00:08:06Oh, my God.
00:08:09Shut up, shut up, shut up.
00:08:11Please, how do I turn this off?
00:08:12Um...
00:08:13Claire?
00:08:14Shut up.
00:08:14How do I...
00:08:15How do I make this stop?
00:08:17This is so crazy.
00:08:18Um...
00:08:20Like that.
00:08:30Um, you should probably
00:08:31get started.
00:08:33I probably should.
00:08:34Yeah.
00:08:35I'm gonna...
00:08:36I'm gonna wait outside.
00:08:37Be my guest.
00:08:38Okay.

00:09:08Yeah.
00:09:18Boss.
00:09:20You married somewhere
00:09:20out of the blue?
00:09:21Feels a little impulsive.
00:09:23Even for you.
00:09:25No.
00:09:26It's not impulsive.
00:09:27Actually, she's...
00:09:29I don't know.
00:09:30She's...
00:09:31interesting.
00:09:31Interesting.
00:09:31Anyways, what'd you find?

00:09:47hell ever since.
00:09:49Just last week,
00:09:50she killed
00:09:51Mrs. Reed's proposal.
00:09:52Said it wasn't
00:09:53feminine enough.

00:11:44all my matchmaking attempts.
00:11:46Uh,
00:11:48yeah,
00:11:49I'll explain that eventually.
00:11:52Of course.
00:11:53I'll never win
00:11:54your wedding event.
00:11:56Come,
00:11:57Byron.
00:11:57They have a mission.
00:11:59Make me a grandchild.
00:12:02Don't have too much fun.
00:12:05Okay.
00:12:12It's my mother.
00:12:13Yeah.
00:12:16Sorry for grabbing here
00:12:22without having a chance
00:12:23to pack.
00:12:32This should be fine.
00:12:34Thanks.
00:12:35I'm sure.
00:12:39I'll go and
00:12:40make some tea.
00:12:43Make yourself home.
00:12:46Oh my god.
00:12:53And his cologne
00:12:54is perfect.
00:12:56I mean,
00:12:56my knees are actually weak.
00:12:59Too bad it's just temporary.
00:13:00Three months
00:13:01and that is it.
00:13:02God.
00:13:03Get a grip.
00:13:04What am I doing?
00:13:07What are you making?
00:13:09What are you making?
00:13:09I'm making some things.
00:13:27Sure.
00:13:28Oh my god.
00:13:34I just got promoted.
00:13:36Design director.
00:13:37I start tomorrow.
00:13:37Oh my god.
00:13:38Oh shit.
00:13:42I am so sorry.
00:13:43I did not do that.
00:13:43No, no, no.
00:13:44It's fine.
00:13:45No, really.
00:13:45It's...
00:13:46Oh, Claire.
00:13:49Claire, be careful, please.
00:13:52No, it's fine.
00:13:53There's just a huge thing.
00:13:54No, Claire.
00:13:54You don't under...
00:13:55Oh.
00:13:57Oh.
00:13:58Oh.
00:13:58Oh.
00:14:04Careful.
00:14:06Claire.
00:14:07You are playing with fire.
00:14:09Is it straight?
00:14:09Holy shit.
00:14:13Yep.
00:14:14Definitely hard.
00:14:16And definitely huge.
00:14:18Oh jeez.
00:14:19I'm...
00:14:19I...
00:14:20No, it's not really.
00:14:27Okay.
00:14:29That body should come with a warning label.
00:14:39You made this mess.
00:15:01You clean it up.
00:15:04Uh...
00:15:04Where are you going?
00:15:06Oh, I'm just...
00:15:07I'm just gonna go take a cold shower.
00:15:09You know...
00:15:10Put out the...
00:15:12Player you started.
00:15:21If I'm a new design director...
00:15:24Candy betters your packing in Prodesk.
00:15:34I can't wait.
00:15:35Yeah.
00:15:36What's going on here?
00:15:38Waiting for the new CEO, obviously.
00:15:42Nova got bowed out yesterday.
00:15:44Word is he's rich, young, and single.
00:15:47I call dips.
00:15:49Oh, Claire.
00:15:50Don't forget your perfect gene baby bat with Ryder.
00:15:54Maybe.
00:15:55You could try your luck with the new CEO.
00:15:57Lots of old money there.
00:15:59With a face like that?
00:16:01Land the CEO?
00:16:02Please.
00:16:03What are you gonna do?
00:16:04Sneak into his bed and turkey base yourself?
00:16:10I don't need to trap anyone, Ryder.
00:16:12Unlike you, I offer value all on my own.
00:16:16Oh, please.
00:16:17You have been so heartbroken, you can't even manage a rebound.
00:16:21What, are you expecting immaculate conception?
00:16:23I don't need divine conception.
00:16:27And for all you know, I'm already pregnant.
00:16:30Please.
00:16:31Keep my hand.
00:16:32Welcome to Nova, Mr. Reed.
00:16:49Welcome to Nova, Mr. Reed.
00:16:53Is it?
00:16:54Uh.
00:16:56Uh.
00:16:57Welcome, sir.
00:16:59I'm Claire.
00:17:01Claire from Design.
00:17:03Hmm.
00:17:12Claire.
00:17:18Design director.
00:17:21Effective immediately.
00:17:28Yes, sir.
00:17:31Okay, what?
00:17:33She is barely qualified, and I have been running this program for two years.
00:17:38If she is director, then who am I?
00:17:42Support staff.
00:17:44Come on, that is blatant favoritism.
00:17:49Byron, I've done some research on Nova before acquiring it.
00:17:53This sketch, created by Miss Miller herself, has had the highest performing markers a year
00:18:00straight.
00:18:01If anything, I'd say this promotion is long overdue.
00:18:05So how do you know the new CEO?
00:18:18Oh.
00:18:18I mean, I don't.
00:18:21Don't lie.
00:18:23He comes and promotes you first thing, and 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.
00:18:36Yeah.
00:18:37It won't lie.
00:18:37It won't lie.
00:18:51Ethan.
00:18:54Claire.
00:18:55Why did you buy Nova, and make me the director?
00:19:02Well, because you're my wife.
00:19:07And more importantly, you're talented.
00:19:11Look, Claire, I'm not going to waste that.
00:19:14But everyone's going to think I'm just here because of you.
00:19:18Maybe, but we're connected nonetheless, Claire.
00:19:24Claire, contract or not, you are the future mother of my child, and the future mother of
00:19:28my child will not be disrespected.
00:19:30So, I'll tell everyone today and clear the air.
00:19:34No.
00:19:36Wait, Ethan, you can't go public.
00:19:39Please.
00:19:39I don't want to be the woman who's known for using your sperm to climb the ladder.
00:19:47Seen by whom?
00:19:49Ryder?
00:19:50Candy?
00:19:51Anyone.
00:19:52You're the CEO, Ethan.
00:19:54I'm just...
00:19:55I'm just someone under contract.
00:19:57And in three months, it's all over.
00:20:03Isn't it?
00:20:04All right.
00:20:08It's your choice.
00:20:11Okay.
00:20:21Yeah, 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.
00:20:30That must be what makes her so...
00:20:33Interesting?
00:20:35Hmm.
00:20:37Maybe.
00:20:52Long meeting with the CEO.
00:20:55I guess that means we can add him to your perfect gene list.
00:20:58Hmm.
00:21:00Someone seems desperate.
00:21:02What?
00:21:04Are you nervous?
00:21:05Afraid to lose the butt?
00:21:07Mind your own business, Ryder.
00:21:15Mind your own business, Ryder.
00:21:16Hold me back.
00:21:44Oh, Maybach.
00:21:49Does she have a sugar daddy now?
00:21:58Ever since I saw her getting that Maybach, nothing.
00:22:02No sign of it again.
00:22:03Was it all just for show?
00:22:05Mmm, stale.
00:22:07Mr. Reed says you've all been working hard.
00:22:09Lunch is on him.
00:22:10Design team, gonna get their own special menu.
00:22:14Well, I said you're doing wonderful.
00:22:19You bring that to you.
00:22:21Oh, my God.
00:22:34Oh, my God.
00:22:38Tastes fine to me.
00:22:55Unless you're pregnant or something.
00:22:58You got a secret boyfriend hiding somewhere?
00:23:08Please, um, I'm just not feeling great.
00:23:17I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
00:23:22Claire.
00:23:25Could she really be pregnant?
00:23:38What the hell?
00:23:41This is the ladies room.
00:23:43No way, are you seriously pregnant?
00:23:44Back 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?
00:23:50Your sperm donor?
00:23:53She said back off!
00:24:08She's not really pregnant, is she?
00:24:29I don't see why that would be any concern of yours.
00:24:33Hey, I'm just looking out for her, boss.
00:24:35I'm just looking out for her boss. I 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. I'll tell you what I help you out for old time's sake
00:24:53It's been one night with me and then boom
00:25:00You are disgusting!
00:25:02Oh, 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. Inax
00:25:19You're awfully protective of your employee. Something I should know about
00:25:25What happens between Claire and me is none of your goddamn business
00:25:29So, put your damn mouth shut if you wanna keep your job
00:25:33Okay?
00:25:34Okay
00:25:49Claire
00:25:51Claire
00:25:52Hey
00:25:56I'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
00:26:09You need rest, moderate exercise, and a better mood before the next artificial insemination
00:26:15So, it's my fault
00:26:17Hey, no, no, no
00:26:19No, none of this is your fault
00:26:23Alright
00:26:25We still have time
00:26:26And
00:26:27We're in this together
00:26:36Okay
00:26:37Light movement helps
00:26:42Walks, swimming, yoga
00:26:45Anything to keep your brain slow and present
00:26:48Present
00:26:51You know, I bet you're
00:26:53Pretty bomb at yoga
00:26:55For the shop
00:26:57Great
00:27:02Ladies, raise your hands slowly
00:27:05Gentlemen, support your partners
00:27:07Breathe together
00:27:09Don't worry
00:27:21Don't worry, I'm not gonna try anything
00:27:23Just
00:27:24Relax
00:27:27Now
00:27:28Gently lean back
00:27:30Your back rest against your partner's chest
00:27:33And feel their support
00:27:34Feel the connection
00:27:35Their grounding presence
00:27:39It's okay
00:27:40Trust me
00:27:48You know
00:27:49You're kind of accessible when you're seven
00:27:51You're out
00:27:53You're not
00:27:53You're not
00:27:54You're not
00:27:56You're kind of accessible when you're seven
00:27:57Now take your partner in your arms and slowly lean back together.
00:28:19Feel that stretch on your spine and breathe through it.
00:28:27Ready?
00:28:29Yeah.
00:28:30Nice.
00:28:33I'm not.
00:28:35I did.
00:28:36Yeah.
00:28:37Whoa!
00:28:38Oh my God.
00:28:39I'm so sorry that that was an accident.
00:28:42I was like, oh, I'm so sorry.
00:28:45Oh my God.
00:28:46I'm not.
00:28:47You did?
00:28:48Yeah.
00:28:49Whoa!
00:28:50Whoa!
00:28:51Oh my God.
00:28:52I'm so sorry that was an accident.
00:28:53Oh my God.
00:28:54Oh my God.
00:28:55I'm so sorry that that was an accident.
00:28:59Lucky me.
00:29:01He's just a contract partner.
00:29:04So why the hell is my heart doing backflips?
00:29:20Um.
00:29:21Is that carrot your mortal enemy? Because you've turned it into confetti.
00:29:27You try perfectly slicing for prenatal nutrition.
00:29:30I'm a novice under pressure, okay?
00:29:33You're actually trying to ace a pregnancy diet?
00:29:36That's oddly endearing.
00:29:44Oh.
00:29:45Let me take a verb of that carrot press his charges.
00:29:47Uh-uh. Not a chance.
00:29:49Uh-uh.
00:29:51Uh-uh.
00:29:51Uh-uh.
00:29:54Your job is to sit there and learn that we, all right?
00:29:59We 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?
00:31:14Hi, I'm Claire.
00:31:15Chris.
00:31:16Ethan's younger brother.
00:31:18Just back from London.
00:31:19Okay.
00:31:24She'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.
00:31:53Fine.
00:31:55But don't be late.
00:31:56I can tell you what you're running around.
00:32:01Oh, and Claire.
00:32:03I can't wait to work with you.
00:32:06Hey, Ethan.
00:32:07It's not cool.
00:32:09What?
00:32:10Look, Claire, listen to me.
00:32:21My brother, he's always been so competitive.
00:32:27I mean, anything I have, he wants.
00:32:31And I know he's not here by accident.
00:32:34So please, promise me that you'll stay away from him.
00:32:41Yeah. Yeah, of course.
00:33:00You're right. They're in a three-month contract marriage.
00:33:03Ethan 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 heir.
00:33:18The one with the spotlight on him.
00:33:20But me?
00:33:22I was born despair.
00:33:23So, big bro, once again, you have something that I don't...
00:33:28Let's see who wins this round.
00:33:33Everybody, 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.
00:33:55He is CEO's younger brother.
00:33:58A total golden boy.
00:34:00And a walking HR violation.
00:34:03If I can't lend the CEO, the younger Mr. Reid is still pretty sweet deal.
00:34:09Well, um...
00:34:10Good luck with that.
00:34:12Shh.
00:34:15Oh, 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.
00:34:27Uh...
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.
00:34:46Okay.
00:34:46Okay.
00:34:46Yes, the Wilson sketches are approved.
00:34:52You can go ahead and send those over to the account this afternoon, and...
00:34:56You strike me as an Americana kind of girl?
00:35:02Thanks.
00:35:03You know, I think we should get lunch sometime.
00:35:06Just us together.
00:35:07It could be fun.
00:35:08My brother has always been so competitive.
00:35:13I mean, anything I have, he wants.
00:35:15So please...
00:35:17Promise 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.
00:35:35I 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-molly brother to tie the knot.
00:35:57Even if it is a fake.
00:36:00What do you want?
00:36:02I want a conversation.
00:36:04If I say no, and he spills the truth, Ethan loses everything.
00:36:10And if I say yes...
00:36:13Fine.
00:36:15Just lunch.
00:36:16Great.
00:36:17I will see you downstairs.
00:36:26Claire.
00:36:27My office.
00:36:30Now.
00:36:31I'll be right there.
00:36:34She really does mean something to you.
00:36:37Which means...
00:36:38This just got far.
00:36:46Claire, what did my brother say to you?
00:36:49Nothing.
00:36:50Just...
00:36:52Work stuff.
00:36:53Oh, 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.
00:37:10But I won't let him ruin this.
00:37:12Should I tell him about Chris asking me to lunch?
00:37:20Ethan, what?
00:37:21Hey, boss.
00:37:22Meeting's about to start.
00:37:25Okay.
00:37:25I'll be right there.
00:37:26All right.
00:37:27I gotta go.
00:37:27Um...
00:37:28I'll talk to you after, okay?
00:37:32One week.
00:37:33I can handle it.
00:37:35Ethan's so busy.
00:37:36Chris?
00:37:59It's the same car as last time.
00:38:01Wait, is...
00:38:05Is Chris the perfect gene guy?
00:38:09After you.
00:38:11Uh...
00:38:12Isn't this Ethan's car?
00:38:14It is.
00:38:15No fucking...
00:38:18No fucking way.
00:38:20She actually landed a rich golden boy.
00:38:25Problem.
00:38:25Problem.
00:38:25Are you worried that your fake hubby will catch you with the wrong brother?
00:38:33What are you fucking about?
00:38:42Just kidding.
00:38:44We're just grabbing lunch, Miss Miller.
00:38:45No wonder she got director.
00:39:02Anne had the guts to make a bet with me?
00:39:05It's because you were 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?
00:39:40Brother in the bathroom?
00:39:41It's just for the streets.
00:39:42Oh, my God.
00:39:43Oh, my God.
00:39:44Oh, my God.
00:39:44Oh, my God.
00:39:45Oh, my God.
00:39:46Oh, my God.
00:39:49Well, um, boss?
00:39:56Oh!
00:39:57Get out!
00:40:01And that will be all.
00:40:04Right away.
00:40:05Sorry, I'm going to run to the bathroom.
00:40:11It's a free country.
00:40:17Come on, Claire.
00:40:19Come on, answer me.
00:40:20I can't wait to see the look on your face.
00:40:32Now, please read all the time.
00:40:34She's not picking up.
00:40:38Chris, you better document.
00:40:40Let's go.
00:40:40Let's go.
00:40:48Hello?
00:40:49Chris, where the fuck did you take her?
00:40:52Yeah, it's this nice little restaurant.
00:40:55It's called Les Jardins Secrets.
00:40:58It's a lovely place.
00:41:00Bye-bye.
00:41:04Fuck.
00:41:05Les Jardins Secrets.
00:41:07Step on it.
00:41:08On it.
00:41:10Fuck it, Chris.
00:41:19You seem kind of sad.
00:41:22Which is surprising because most women,
00:41:24they can't help but to smile around me.
00:41:27I'm fine.
00:41:29Look, Chris,
00:41:31I've had lunch now.
00:41:32So, please,
00:41:33can you keep the contract thing to yourself?
00:41:35It'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'll ever do.
00:42:08I guess
00:42:13I 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.
00:42:23And how exactly does that concern you?
00:42:28Because if it's not love,
00:42:31maybe you just chose the wrong brother.
00:42:35You just chose the wrong brother.
00:42:38Neil,
00:42:38are you trying to be funny right now?
00:42:41I am your sister-in-law,
00:42:43your brother's wife.
00:42:45I'm leaving.
00:42:46Why don't you
00:42:47sit back down?
00:42:49What are you doing?
00:43:02Careful.
00:43:04What?
00:43:05Well,
00:43:06nothing.
00:43:06You just have a little something right here.
00:43:12I 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
00:43:23he would react.
00:43:25Who?
00:43:41What the fuck are you doing?
00:43:42Get home.
00:43:46He's finished.
00:43:48What 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.
00:44:04Come on, Claire.
00:44:06Let's go.
00:44:06Oh, Ethan.
00:44:12You've fallen for her,
00:44:14haven't you?
00:44:14That 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.
00:44:21Yeah?
00:44:22I just told you to stay away from my brother.
00:44:24Why are you at lunch with him?
00:44:25Why are you at lunch with him?
00:44:28Because he found out about the contract marriage.
00:44:31So what?
00:44:33Are you scared he'll tell someone?
00:44:34Or are you scared I'll back out and you'll lose your little bet?
00:44:36But 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 her marriage is fake,
00:44:46she'll cut you off.
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 way out of proportion.
00:44:54And our marriage is just paperwork.
00:44:56So what if I'm having lunch with Chris?
00:44:58Why do you even care?
00:44:59Because it feels real, Claire.
00:45:02I'm so fucking tired of pretending that it doesn't.
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.
00:45:16What the actual fuck?
00:45:19He's jealous?
00:45:20Or is this some cruel joke?
00:45:23Why does my heart feel like it's about to explode?
00:45:27Please.
00:45:28You need to know if you feel the same.
00:45:32Right.
00:45:46Congratulations, Mrs. Reed.
00:46:10Your hormone levels are back to normal.
00:46:12You're cleared for insemination next week.
00:46:16Oh my god.
00:46:18Thank you so much, doctor.
00:46:21And?
00:46:22Ethan.
00:46:24We're good to go.
00:46:25We can finally try again next week.
00:46:27Oh my god.
00:46:28Oh my god.
00:46:30Oh my god.
00:46:34Claire, I...
00:46:35I'm so sorry I ever got to get you.
00:46:45Good morning!
00:46:47Nova's very own sperm queen.
00:46:48How's the donor search going?
00:46:50Is the CEO's little brother premium enough for you?
00:46:53What is your problem, Ryder?
00:46:55I caught you cozying up to Chris Reed.
00:47:00I'm curious to see how Ethan's going to react
00:47:04when he finds out you've been playing both brothers.
00:47:07You don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:14And what exactly am I looking at?
00:47:16Two co-workers showing up to the office?
00:47:19No wonder you never deliver anything good.
00:47:21You're too busy playing paparazzi all day.
00:47:23Cut the crap, Claire.
00:47:25You strut around here like you earned that title.
00:47:27You think you're better than the rest of us,
00:47:28but guess what?
00:47:29You are nothing but an incubator with broken parts.
00:47:33Does Chris even know that your eggs are defective?
00:47:38You say one more word,
00:47:39and I will sue you for defamation.
00:47:45You filthy bitch.
00:47:53Try me,
00:47:54and you're done.
00:47:59Claire.
00:48:00Hey.
00:48:01Hey.
00:48:02Are 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.
00:48:11She is just playing him.
00:48:13One more slanderous word towards Claire,
00:48:15and you're fired.
00:48:16For fuck's sake.
00:48:17She's just an employee.
00:48:19Why are you protecting her like this?
00:48:20Because.
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.
00:48:39You don't know what the fuck you're doing, Chris.
00:48:45I do.
00:48:46I'm trying to work Claire.
00:48:52Oh.
00:49:00Keep your filthy hands off her.
00:49:02She's a married woman.
00:49:05Wait, what?
00:49:07Claire is married?
00:49:08To who?
00:49:17Please tell me.
00:49:21Careful, big bro.
00:49:23I mean, you should really, really think this through.
00:49:26Once the truth gets out, well,
00:49:28we both know how mom's temper is.
00:49:31If she gets angry and takes away your inheritance,
00:49:34well, the breed group matches one in my hands.
00:49:38I'm her husband.
00:49:44How 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.
00:49:56I, but
00:49:57you missed out
00:49:59the juicy bit.
00:50:02Why don't you tell everyone
00:50:03that your marriage is just a three-month contract?
00:50:06A business proposition.
00:50:07I warned you to stay the fuck out of our relationship, Chris.
00:50:15Cool.
00:50:16Off.
00:50:17Big bro.
00:50:19Your relationship has an expiration date.
00:50:22And once it's over,
00:50:24she'll be mine.
00:50:25Yeah.
00:50:26Funny.
00:50:26Because I won't let you get close enough
00:50:29to steal her from me.
00:50:40That's enough!
00:50:41Both of you, stop!
00:50:43Stop it!
00:50:45Wait, Claire!
00:50:51Wait, Claire!
00:50:51Both of Reed brothers
00:50:56are fighting over Claire.
00:50:58What has she got that we don't?
00:51:00Her bedroom skills, of course.
00:51:02That's probably how she earned
00:51:03my promotion.
00:51:04How did I not see this sooner?
00:51:06She is sleeping her way to the top.
00:51:08What is that?
00:51:09Shut your mouth!
00:51:11If word of this gets out,
00:51:14I will end you.
00:51:17Claire.
00:51:18Claire.
00:51:19Let go of me.
00:51:20I'm sorry.
00:51:22I screwed up.
00:51:23I was impulsive.
00:51:24I can stop to think about
00:51:25how you might feel
00:51:26going public with our relationship.
00:51:28Say it, Ethan.
00:51:29I am done.
00:51:31I can't do this anymore.
00:51:34No, no, no, please.
00:51:35Please don't go.
00:51:36I only did it because
00:51:37I was scared of losing you to Chris.
00:51:40And that's why I rushed
00:51:41to tell everybody
00:51:41that you're my wife.
00:51:44What about the consequences?
00:51:46If your mother finds out
00:51:47we're in a fake relationship,
00:51:48you'll lose everything.
00:51:50And Chris and I
00:51:51are not a thing.
00:51:52Okay?
00:51:59Hey.
00:52:01Listen to me.
00:52:02All right?
00:52:03Before you came into my life,
00:52:04all I cared about
00:52:05was my work
00:52:06and my inheritance.
00:52:07But I need you to know
00:52:09that as long as you're here with me,
00:52:12nothing else matters.
00:52:17Ethan.
00:52:18No.
00:52:19Don't worry.
00:52:20All right?
00:52:21I'm here with you.
00:52:23Whatever comes our way,
00:52:26we'll face it together.
00:52:28Okay?
00:52:29Okay.
00:52:30Sophia, if you don't hop on a plane right now,
00:52:50your ex,
00:52:51he might find us happily ever after
00:52:53somewhere else.
00:52:54What?
00:52:56That workaholic.
00:52:58I'm falling for someone.
00:53:01No, no.
00:53:02Not possible.
00:53:04What?
00:53:04Book me the next flight to New York!
00:53:15I don't care who she is,
00:53:23Ethan Reed
00:53:25is mine.
00:53:27Your cooking's actually
00:53:34gotten a lot better.
00:53:36Oh.
00:53:42Doctor just confirmed.
00:53:45You're good to go.
00:53:47I'm up with my next smile.
00:53:52Perfect.
00:53:53We'll leave first thing in the morning.
00:53:55Go where?
00:53:56Exactly.
00:53:57Sofía?
00:54:12You're back?
00:54:15Oh, Ethan.
00:54:17I miss you so much.
00:54:19Well, Claire, this is Sofia,
00:54:30an old friend.
00:54:33Sofia, this is my wife.
00:54:37It's nice to meet you.
00:54:39Pleasure.
00:54:41Though I'm not just friend,
00:54:43I'm Ethan's ex.
00:54:45I'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,
00:54:58if Chris hadn't told me,
00:54:59I'd still believe you were mine.
00:55:01If I remember correctly,
00:55:03you left to pursue a career
00:55:04halfway across the world.
00:55:06I thought that's what you wanted.
00:55:07Well,
00:55:07actually,
00:55:14she's my pick for brand manager.
00:55:16That won't be a problem to you.
00:55:17Right, brother?
00:55:20What's the matter, Ethan?
00:55:21You don't want me back?
00:55:24Well, I'm afraid
00:55:25that decision's not entirely up to me.
00:55:26That's up to the board.
00:55:27It's funny.
00:55:32What a coincidence.
00:55:34It just so happened
00:55:35to have their signatures, right?
00:55:37Oh.
00:55:51Well,
00:55:52if that's what the board wants,
00:55:54fine.
00:55:55We'll see if you're up to the task.
00:55:57Why did you tell me
00:56:11about Ethan and Claire?
00:56:13What's your angle?
00:56:14I want Claire
00:56:15and 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
00:56:22their little fairy tale.
00:56:23And me?
00:56:24We'll carve you a path
00:56:26straight to Ethan.
00:56:27Everyone wins.
00:56:30Let the games begin.
00:56:34Hey.
00:56:35What are you doing?
00:56:37Look, Claire, I'm...
00:56:39I'm sorry if the night upset you.
00:56:41But would it be bad
00:56:45if I was a little glad
00:56:46if it did?
00:56:49Does that mean
00:56:50that you were jealous?
00:56:52At least if you do care.
00:56:56Don't flatter yourself.
00:56:57She's from my past.
00:57:04She's from my past.
00:57:05All right, but
00:57:06you
00:57:08are my wife.
00:57:12And
00:57:12once you're finally pregnant,
00:57:15we can make it official.
00:57:19Wedding, life together.
00:57:21What?
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?
00:57:34And when my mom's back
00:57:35from Europe,
00:57:35we'll tell her too.
00:57:37Look, our marriage
00:57:38won't just be
00:57:39a show anymore.
00:57:43Then...
00:57:44yes?
00:57:44Of course.
00:57:58We could
00:57:59try for that baby ourselves.
00:58:02We could.
00:58:05Oh my God.
00:58:06No.
00:58:14Oh my God.
00:58:26Ethan.
00:58:27Ethan!
00:58:28What?
00:58:29Oh.
00:58:30Damn it.
00:58:37Hello?
00:58:38Ethan,
00:58:39I fell down the stairs.
00:58:41You can't...
00:58:41I'm really hurt.
00:58:44I can't move.
00:58:46Sophia,
00:58:47is there not
00:58:48anybody else
00:58:48you can call?
00:58:50Ethan,
00:58:50I don't know
00:58:51anyone else
00:58:52in this city.
00:58:53Who else am I
00:58:54supposed to call?
00:58:55Besides,
00:58:56are we not
00:58:56still friends?
00:58:58Oh, hey.
00:58:58No, uh,
00:58:59fine.
00:58:59Yeah, uh,
00:59:00I'll be over
00:59:01in just a few.
00:59:05Hey.
00:59:06Hey, what happened?
00:59:08Um,
00:59:09it's
00:59:09Sophia.
00:59:10She apparently
00:59:11fell and hurt herself
00:59:12and, well,
00:59:12she doesn't really
00:59:13know anybody
00:59:13in the city,
00:59:14so I just
00:59:16need to go over
00:59:16and check on her.
00:59:18Do you
00:59:18want me to come?
00:59:20No.
00:59:21No, no, no.
00:59:21You stay here
00:59:22and rest.
00:59:23Mm-hmm.
00:59:24Sophia, you said you were hurt.
00:59:45Yummy.
00:59:46I did hurt my ankle.
00:59:52It still hurts
00:59:53when I walk.
00:59:54See?
00:59:57No.
00:59:59You lied.
01:00:01Well, I had to see
01:00:02whether you still cared.
01:00:03I was stupid
01:00:04to think you'd
01:00:05wait around forever,
01:00:06but seeing you now,
01:00:08I realized
01:00:10what I gave up.
01:00:11What we had.
01:00:12It's over.
01:00:15I'm married now.
01:00:17Married?
01:00:18It's just a contract.
01:00:20What?
01:00:21You think
01:00:22she loves you?
01:00:23She's in it
01:00:24for the genes.
01:00:26And
01:00:26honestly,
01:00:28even
01:00:28a little complaint.
01:00:32No,
01:00:33enough.
01:00:33Wait.
01:00:34Don't go.
01:00:35Please,
01:00:36stay one night.
01:00:37That's all I ask.
01:00:38If you keep this up,
01:00:44we won't even be friends.
01:00:46All right.
01:00:48Friends, then.
01:00:50At least that way,
01:00:51I still get to see you.
01:00:57The latest male contraceptive.
01:01:00Not FDA-approved yet,
01:01:01but it can instantly
01:01:03be a bit firm.
01:01:06Diffenching.
01:01:08Oh,
01:01:14Ethan.
01:01:15No way
01:01:16I'm letting that
01:01:17bitch Claire
01:01:17carry your child.
01:01:21You know,
01:01:22you should rest up.
01:01:23Heal that ankle.
01:01:24Don't shit me late tomorrow.
01:01:25Oh,
01:01:26wouldn't drain it.
01:01:30She can borrow you,
01:01:32but you're mine.
01:01:34To the grave.
01:01:38They took your sample
01:01:44ages ago.
01:01:45I mean,
01:01:45why haven't they
01:01:46called me in?
01:01:47Do you think
01:01:47something's wrong?
01:01:50Claire,
01:01:51come on.
01:01:53Stop overthinking.
01:01:54All right,
01:01:55you know,
01:01:55they're probably just
01:01:56swamped with patients.
01:01:57I mean,
01:01:58stuff like this
01:01:58happens all the time.
01:02:00Yeah.
01:02:01See?
01:02:02Doctor,
01:02:03can I go in now?
01:02:05Not quite,
01:02:05Mrs. Reid.
01:02:06We've just received
01:02:07the results.
01:02:12Unfortunately,
01:02:13Mr. Reid's
01:02:13sperm motility
01:02:14is very low.
01:02:15It's currently
01:02:15not viable
01:02:16for fertilization.
01:02:18What?
01:02:19How is that
01:02:19even possible?
01:02:21What?
01:02:21No,
01:02:22that can't be,
01:02:22right?
01:02:23I'm perfectly healthy.
01:02:24My sperm is fine.
01:02:25Test me again.
01:02:26I understand
01:02:26this is very upsetting,
01:02:27but the numbers
01:02:28are mine.
01:02:29I suggest
01:02:29I retest
01:02:30in two weeks.
01:02:31In the meantime,
01:02:33rest,
01:02:33nutrition,
01:02:34hydration.
01:02:39No,
01:02:39this doesn't make
01:02:41any sense.
01:02:43Hey.
01:02:43Maybe you're just
01:02:45working too hard?
01:02:47You were there
01:02:48for me
01:02:49when this all started,
01:02:50and now it's my turn.
01:02:52We'll get through this
01:02:53together.
01:02:57Bye.
01:02:57Together.
01:03:11Should we plan on
01:03:12having this whole thing
01:03:13up by 2026?
01:03:15I mean,
01:03:15we have
01:03:16an additional
01:03:175,000 rooms
01:03:18on the left wing
01:03:19that we have...
01:03:20Apologies
01:03:20for being late.
01:03:28Everyone,
01:03:29this is
01:03:30Sophia Turner.
01:03:32Effective immediately,
01:03:33she will be taking over
01:03:33as head
01:03:34of the branding division.
01:03:42Oh, pleasure.
01:03:46I'm looking forward
01:03:47to working with you all.
01:03:50She walks in late,
01:04:01and she's already manager.
01:04:02What's her background?
01:04:03I mean,
01:04:03it's getting clear
01:04:04to you point out.
01:04:05Shag her socials,
01:04:07CEO's acts,
01:04:08the only one
01:04:09he ever won public with.
01:04:10Daughter of some
01:04:11investment tycoon.
01:04:13Wonder where
01:04:14they broke up.
01:04:15So the queen's
01:04:15come back
01:04:16to take her throne,
01:04:17huh?
01:04:17I guess that means
01:04:18the temp wife position
01:04:20isn't getting renewed.
01:04:21Nice.
01:04:23Okay.
01:04:28They look like
01:04:29the perfect couple.
01:04:40Your contract marriage
01:04:42with Ethan.
01:04:43What?
01:04:44One month left?
01:04:46What's your point?
01:04:47Do you ever wonder
01:04:49if Ethan only married you
01:04:51to scare me
01:04:52back into his life?
01:04:56What?
01:04:56I twisted my ankle
01:04:58last night.
01:05:00He freaked.
01:05:02It was like
01:05:03his world was ending.
01:05:05He promised me
01:05:07he wouldn't let
01:05:08you get pregnant.
01:05:09And,
01:05:10oh,
01:05:11didn't your little
01:05:12fertility trip
01:05:13to the hospital fail?
01:05:16How did you know that?
01:05:18Because
01:05:18I gave him
01:05:20a glass of wine
01:05:22with
01:05:22a little something extra.
01:05:24and let's just say
01:05:26his swimmers
01:05:26are on strike.
01:05:28I watched him
01:05:29drink it
01:05:29and
01:05:30totally
01:05:31enjoy it.
01:05:33Something extra.
01:05:34Wait,
01:05:35are you telling me
01:05:36you gave him
01:05:36a drug that
01:05:37killed sperm
01:05:37and he knew
01:05:39about it?
01:05:41Obviously!
01:05:41Oh my god,
01:05:42you're so much
01:05:43more naive
01:05:43than I thought.
01:05:46Claire,
01:05:47babe,
01:05:48honey,
01:05:48Cinderella
01:05:50only becomes
01:05:51a princess
01:05:52in the fairy tales.
01:05:53And we ain't
01:05:54in one.
01:05:55So,
01:05:56why don't you
01:05:57go pack your things?
01:05:58Because
01:05:59Mrs. Reed,
01:06:01that's my name.
01:06:04Bye!
01:06:05I should trust
01:06:16Ethan.
01:06:17Sophia probably
01:06:18just settled up
01:06:19to mess with my head.
01:06:21One call
01:06:21to the doctor.
01:06:23I'll prove
01:06:23she's lying.
01:06:25Dr. Young,
01:06:26it's Claire.
01:06:27I just had
01:06:28a quick question.
01:06:29Um,
01:06:31Ethan's
01:06:31spermotility
01:06:32came back low.
01:06:33Could that
01:06:34ever be
01:06:35caused by
01:06:36medication?
01:06:38Given
01:06:39Mr. Reed's
01:06:39health history,
01:06:40his result
01:06:41is unusual.
01:06:42It's quite
01:06:43possible he
01:06:43was exposed
01:06:44to something
01:06:44that impairs
01:06:45sperm function.
01:06:47Thank you,
01:06:48doctor.
01:06:52She wasn't
01:06:53lying.
01:07:03Hey.
01:07:15What?
01:07:19What are you doing
01:07:20to a down hero
01:07:21by yourself?
01:07:24Is everything
01:07:25okay?
01:07:28You've
01:07:29kind of seemed
01:07:29a little
01:07:30down lately.
01:07:38Just ask
01:07:39if there's
01:07:41an explanation.
01:07:45Ethan,
01:07:46the night
01:07:46you went
01:07:46over to
01:07:47Sophia's,
01:07:48did you
01:07:49drink anything?
01:07:50Uh,
01:07:53yeah,
01:07:54wine.
01:07:55Why?
01:07:55So it's
01:07:58true?
01:08:00He drank
01:08:00that wine
01:08:00on purpose
01:08:01fully aware?
01:08:03Maybe he
01:08:03never wanted
01:08:04to get me
01:08:05pregnant.
01:08:06Did you
01:08:07even know
01:08:07what that
01:08:08meant?
01:08:10Did you
01:08:10even know
01:08:11what that
01:08:11meant?
01:08:13Meant?
01:08:14What do you
01:08:15mean?
01:08:18Defensive.
01:08:18Why the
01:08:24hell
01:08:24is she
01:08:24asking
01:08:25me
01:08:25this?
01:08:26To me,
01:08:27it just
01:08:27meant I
01:08:27set boundaries
01:08:28with her.
01:08:28We're just
01:08:29friends now,
01:08:29right?
01:08:30Um,
01:08:31I mean,
01:08:31I guess,
01:08:32yeah,
01:08:32yeah,
01:08:32I know
01:08:33what that
01:08:33meant.
01:08:34It's
01:08:35all true.
01:08:36I was
01:08:36naive,
01:08:37thinking we
01:08:37could have
01:08:37a future.
01:08:39Sophia was
01:08:39right.
01:08:41Maybe
01:08:41it's time
01:08:42we start
01:08:42putting
01:08:42some distance
01:08:43between
01:08:43us.
01:08:46Don't
01:08:47what is
01:08:50going on
01:08:51in that
01:08:51little head
01:08:51of yours?
01:08:54Nothing.

01:11:59You're going to

01:12:03So you finally
01:12:04found out that
01:12:04my brother's
01:12:05lying to you,
01:12:05haven't you?
01:12:09Mind your own
01:12:10business.
01:12:21He only
01:12:21married you
01:12:22for the
01:12:22inheritance.
01:12:23He was never
01:12:24going to actually
01:12:24get you pregnant.
01:12:25He's too far
01:12:26in with Sophia.
01:12:28Leave him,
01:12:29Claire.
01:12:30He's not worth it.
01:12:31And you're
01:12:32going to be my
01:12:32white man?
01:12:33You're only
01:12:34talking to me
01:12:34because I'm a
01:12:35pawn in your
01:12:35little sibling game.
01:12:38Look,
01:12:39yeah,
01:12:40maybe at first,
01:12:42of course,
01:12:42I wanted to
01:12:43steal you away
01:12:44from him.
01:12:45But then,
01:12:47I saw your
01:12:48heart.
01:12:50I saw your
01:12:51generosity.
01:12:52I saw your
01:12:53work ethic.
01:12:54And I
01:12:54actually care.
01:12:57Do you think
01:12:58I am dumb
01:12:58or something?
01:13:00You and Ethan
01:13:01really are brothers.
01:13:02Different jerks,
01:13:04same old script.
01:13:06You want a
01:13:07kid, right?
01:13:09My papers.
01:13:11I have a
01:13:12perfect sperm
01:13:13count.
01:13:14I can help
01:13:14you.
01:13:15You don't have
01:13:16to put all
01:13:16your eggs
01:13:16into one basket.
01:13:20So you'd
01:13:21rather lose
01:13:21the bed
01:13:22than be the
01:13:23joke that
01:13:24everyone thought
01:13:24you were?
01:13:25the bed
01:13:37Oh God,
01:13:37I don't know.
01:13:39Chris would
01:13:40make the
01:13:40perfect donor,
01:13:41but
01:13:41why can't
01:13:43I feel
01:13:44at peace
01:13:44about it?
01:13:45I don't
01:13:45know.
01:13:45I don't
01:13:46know.
01:13:46I don't

01:14:08See,
01:14:09I told
01:14:09you.
01:14:10My brother,
01:14:11he only ever

01:14:12business strategy.
01:14:13But me,
01:14:15I can take
01:14:15real care
01:14:16of you.
01:14:16no lies,
01:14:18no contracts.
01:14:21Right.
01:14:24I'll take
01:14:24the deal.

01:14:27sperm.

01:14:42You're
01:14:43so much
01:14:43more naive
01:14:44than I
01:14:44thought.
01:14:45He
01:14:45promised
01:14:46me.
01:14:46He
01:14:47wouldn't
01:14:47let you
01:14:47get
01:14:48pregnant.
01:14:49Though
01:14:50I'm not
01:14:50just a
01:14:51friend.
01:14:52I'm
01:14:53Ethan's
01:14:53ex.
01:14:55Pretty,

01:15:31Claire?

01:15:35Doctor's way.
01:15:45If you need anything, just yell for me.
01:15:49Miss Miller?
01:15:51Miss Miller?
01:15:53This way. We're ready for the procedure.
01:16:01Knock yourself up, champ.
01:16:09Claire?
01:16:13Where are you?
01:16:15You really don't know how to pick up your phone.
01:16:21The owner agreement?
01:16:25What?
01:16:27Byron! To the hospital now!
01:16:29On it.
01:16:39Miss Miller? Are you ready?
01:16:41Yes, Doctor.
01:16:43I am.
01:16:59Like that.
01:17:01Relax.
01:17:03It'll be over soon.
01:17:07Relax. It'll be over soon.
01:17:17Checkmate me, brother.
01:17:19Claire! Claire!
01:17:21You...
01:17:23Where is she?
01:17:25You're too late.
01:17:27She's already in there getting inseminated by my...
01:17:31Claire!
01:17:33Claire!
01:17:35Claire!
01:17:37You...
01:17:39Where is she?
01:17:41You're too late.
01:17:43She's already in there getting inseminated by my...
01:17:45Claire!
01:17:47Claire!
01:17:49Claire!
01:17:51Claire!
01:17:53Claire!
01:17:55Claire!
01:17:57Claire!
01:17:59Claire!
01:18:00Ethan!
01:18:01Calm down, this is a hospital!
01:18:03Stop!
01:18:04Stop!
01:18:08Claire!
01:18:09Claire!
01:18:10Claire!
01:18:11Why did you accept Chris as your donor?
01:18:13Talk to me!
01:18:15Ethan!
01:18:16Shh!
01:18:18We are done.
01:18:19What?
01:18:20Claire...
01:18:21We had plans...
01:18:22I mean, aren't we in this together?
01:18:23What changed?
01:18:26Tend off, Ethan!
01:18:27She is my girlfriend now!
01:18:30She is my girlfriend now.
01:18:33She's my wife.
01:18:36Oh, maybe not for long.
01:18:40She signed the divorce papers.
01:18:42And soon, you will too.
01:18:44Then, 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, please.
01:19:17No.
01:19:18I won't sign without an explanation.
01:19:21Oh, come on, Ethan.
01:19:23She just wanted your perfect jeans.
01:19:27What?
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?
01:19:52Claire, you 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?
01:20:01P-propose?
01:20:02What the hell are you talking about, Claire?
01:20:04It's over, Ethan.
01:20:06I mean, don't you get it?
01:20:08She already signed the divorce papers.
01:20:11And Claire over here, she's carrying my child.
01:20:20Stop 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 to Sophia.
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.
01:21:13Boss 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.
01:21:42You never wanted a baby with me.
01:21:46Wait, what?
01:21:50You fucking drugged my drink!
01:21:54You fucking drugged me and set me up!
01:21:57I wonder if you couldn't try.
01:21:58Why would you do that?
01:22:00Be 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.
01:22:10You are the bitch, Sophia.
01:22:13Manipulative and pathetic.
01:22:15Oh, you filthy little...
01:22:16Ethan, 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 are never going to happen.
01:22:29That's right.
01:22:31That's right.
01:22:32She...
01:22:33She 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?
01:22:42Does 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...
01:23:00I 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!
01:23:10Look, Claire, listen to me.
01:23:17All right, I don't care whose child you're carrying or who gets the inheritance.
01:23:23The only thing I care about is that I get to spend the rest of my life with you.
01:23:31Wow!
01:23:32I mean, the crown prince groveling to play daddy to my son!
01:23:38Haven't, 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...
01:23:56It's all yours.
01:23:59What?
01:24:05We never used Chris's suit.
01:24:08I couldn't go through with it.
01:24:09Oh!
01:24:10Wait.
01:24:14Oh, my God.
01:24:15Oh, my God.
01:24:18Relax.
01:24:19It'll be over soon.
01:24:22No.
01:24:24I can't go through with it.
01:24:25Not until you know the truth.
01:24:33I'm sorry.
01:24:34No, it's okay.
01:24:37Ms. Miller, please don't book a procedure unless you're sure.
01:24:41Some of us value our time.
01:24:42Claire, thank 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, send his ass back to England.
01:25:05Make sure he never comes back.
01:25:07Yes, sir.
01:25:08Yes, sir.
01:25:10You'll regret this, both of you.
01:25:16You'll never be happy!
01:25:19Oh, thank God.
01:25:28Claire.
01:25:33Will you marry me?
01:25:36For real this time?
01:25:38Yes.
01:25:40Yes, I will.
01:25:50It's beautiful.
01:25:50It's beautiful.
01:25:52I don't know.
01:26:22I don't know.
01:26:52I don't know.
01:26:53This time, I'm with the real deal.
01:26:56Well, I mean, it's okay if we're not.
01:27:16We still have time.
01:27:16I'm pregnant.
01:27:21We're having a baby.
01:27:23Yeah.
01:27:26We're having a baby.
01:27:31Yeah, I'm like...
01:27:33Claire, Claire, you know I didn't mean all the stuff I said, right?
01:27:45It was a joke.
01:27:47All right?
01:27:48Right.
01:27:49Come on.
01:27:50Hey, man.
01:27:51I bet it's a bet.
01:27:53Lucky for you, we're feeling merciful.
01:27:55So no full-friendful 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.
01:28:09And then say exactly what you promised.
01:28:12And make sure you say it loud enough for the entire audience to hear.
01:28:14I slept my way to the top.
01:28:32I'm a little bitch boy.
01:28:33I don't know if I built the reserve as the father of my child.
01:28:39Yes.
01:28:40Oh, that's good.
01:28:41That's really good.
01:28:41This is much better than the original plan.
01:28:43I think it's too ugly.
01:28:44Ugly.
01:28:56Should we head inside?
01:28:57No.
01:29:03No.
01:29:04No.
01:29:05No.
01:29:06No.
01:29:07No.
01:29:08No.
01:29:09No.
01:29:10No.
01:29:11No.
01:29:12No.
01:29:13No.
01:29:14No.
01:29:15No.
01:29:16No.
01:29:17No.
01:29:18No.
01:29:19No.
01:29:20No.
01:29:21No.
01:29:22No.
01:29:23No.
01:29:24No.
01:29:25No.
01:29:26No.
01:29:27No.
01:29:28No.
01:29:29No.
01:29:30No.
01:29:31No.
