Short filmTranscript
00:00:00you have to be prepared. I don't have mom. I'm not gonna let you die, mom. You're gonna
00:00:20beat this cancer. Danny, what are you doing? What does it look like I'm doing? Your rent's
00:00:33late. It's two days late, and you said it wouldn't be an issue. I changed my mind. So, unless
00:00:47you want to pay up with that tight little bond of yours, you're out by tomorrow morning.
00:00:56Please, you know my mom's cancer treatments are expensive, and I've never been late before.
00:01:04You should have thought of that before dumping me.
00:01:09I'll get you the money. I have a job interview today, and the signing bonus will be more than
00:01:15enough to cover it. Just give me 24 hours.
00:01:20Then you better get that job.
00:01:23Tick-tock cupcake.
00:01:38Billionaire financer Robert Montgomery has announced his retirement from Montgomery
00:01:43Enterprises this morning, the company he built five decades ago. His successor is presumed
00:01:49to be Aston Montgomery, his eldest son and heir, who is known not only for his playboy ways,
00:01:55but his corporate ruthlessness.
00:01:59Stella Evans?
00:02:03Come with me.
00:02:04So, you don't have any corporate experience, and you didn't even graduate from college?
00:02:20Well, something came up at home, and I couldn't.
00:02:23I'm not running a charity, Ms. Evans. I'm sorry, but I can't hire you.
00:02:27Please. I really need the money.
00:02:33So do 400 other applicants. What makes you so special?
00:02:39My mom and I are about to get evicted.
00:02:42I really need this money.
00:02:46Look, I'm sorry, but I can't help you.
00:02:50This interview is over.
00:02:51Hey, you can't just walk away from me, you entitled prick.
00:03:01What did you say to me?
00:03:02You heard me just because you think you're better than everyone else.
00:03:12Shut up.
00:03:12What is that doing in my office?
00:03:32Can I see that?
00:03:33That, Mr. Montgomery, is your love child.
00:04:01I'm a father.
00:04:03You said you needed a job.
00:04:11Help me.
00:04:20God, stop crying.
00:04:29I can't believe that worked.
00:04:31See?
00:04:31You didn't need my help after all.
00:04:41So the rumors are true.
00:04:43I'm a grandfather.
00:04:44No, father, this is not...
00:04:46The board will never let an irresponsible playboy lead the company.
00:04:50You said there'd be no more scandals.
00:04:53I have no choice but to turn the company over to your brother, Clive.
00:04:57No, father, there are no scandals.
00:04:59Father, this is Stella, my fiancé and the mother of my child.
00:05:07Do you expect me to believe this low-class woman is your fiancé?
00:05:21Do not speak about her that way.
00:05:23I love her.
00:05:26And I'm tired of hiding it.
00:05:27Right, honey?
00:05:30Please go with it.
00:05:34Right.
00:05:41Even in secret, Aston is a wonderful fiancé.
00:05:46On the outside, he's a hardened businessman.
00:05:53But on the inside, he's a total sweetheart.
00:05:56Well, only for you.
00:06:00You saw through it the moment we met.
00:06:03Don't mistake me for a fool, son.
00:06:06If I find out you're lying, I will strip you of the company and your inheritance.
00:06:11And you'll have nothing left.
00:06:13Okay.
00:06:22We need to figure this out.
00:06:23We?
00:06:24Oh, there is no we.
00:06:25I am so out of here.
00:06:27No, you can't go.
00:06:28I need you.
00:06:34You're a billionaire.
00:06:35You can have any woman.
00:06:37Why me?
00:06:38You said you needed money, right?
00:06:40I happen to have a lot of it.
00:06:41Be my fiancé and the mother of my child until my father signs the company over to me.
00:06:49Then I will pay you five million dollars.
00:06:52We can go our separate ways, and we will never see each other again.
00:06:56Five million dollars could change everything.
00:06:58It could help me save my mom.
00:06:59Do we have a deal, Miss Evans?
00:07:07Fine.
00:07:08But only because my rent's overdue, and I need you to pay it.
00:07:12Done.
00:07:16I'll have my assistant wire the money today.
00:07:19And you're mine.
00:07:21Starting right now.
00:07:22Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Montgomery, it's this one.
00:07:35Stop, stop, stop, stop.
00:07:36Excuse me.
00:07:36Excuse me.
00:07:37This your child.
00:07:37Why are you trying to keep this under wraps here?
00:07:39Step aside.
00:07:40Mr. Montgomery, why have you had your fiancé and child for so long?
00:07:43Miss Evans?
00:07:44Did you have this baby on the circus?
00:07:45Does it trap him?
00:07:46Don't.
00:07:49Ignore me, bitch.
00:07:50Don't be a good girl.
00:07:52Give me a good watch.
00:07:54Get off of her!
00:07:55Come on, sweetheart.
00:07:56You're just a little gold thing around you.
00:07:58Please, don't worry.
00:08:00Please, this is mine.
00:08:01It's late to meet her.
00:08:02Mr. Montgomery, excuse me.
00:08:04Stop, stop, stop.
00:08:05You want a quote?
00:08:08Fine.
00:08:10Our engagement announcement was ruined by some grabby asshole with a camera.
00:08:14And one more thing.
00:08:19Touch my fiancé again, I'll break more than just your camera.
00:08:21Sir, sir, sir.
00:08:22Mr. Montgomery, can we answer our questions, please?
00:08:24Sir, sir, sir.
00:08:25You cannot ignore us, Mr. Montgomery.
00:08:27Come on now, Mr. Montgomery.
00:08:28Sir, what do you have to say?
00:08:29This place is beautiful.
00:08:47So what do we do now?
00:08:50Simple.
00:08:52We do what fiancés do.
00:08:53Look at me.
00:09:08What the hell was that?
00:09:24This is part of the deal.
00:09:26All right, we have to sell it.
00:09:28I have someone looking into where Emma came from.
00:09:30It should all be sorted out soon.
00:09:32What will be sorted, brother?
00:09:35Clive?
00:09:37Welcome home.
00:09:37This fiancée and baby certainly came out of nowhere, didn't they?
00:09:42What are you doing here, Clive?
00:09:44I came to meet my niece and soon-to-be sister-in-law, you know.
00:09:49Since it all happened so fast.
00:09:53Stella Evans, is it?
00:09:57And what trash barrel did you crawl out of?
00:10:02The trash barrel I crawled out of is none of your business.
00:10:06Oh, contraire, mon cherie.
00:10:09It's most definitely my business.
00:10:11The Montgomerys don't associate with peasants.
00:10:15Bad for business.
00:10:16Leave her alone.
00:10:18For what?
00:10:20Care to find out?
00:10:24Care to find out?
00:10:25So, my playboy brother does have feelings.
00:10:31And for a low-class gold digger, no less.
00:10:36Be careful.
00:10:37It's only a matter of time before he dumps you and that baby back into the gutter where you came from.
00:10:42She's cute.
00:10:52Looks just like you, brother.
00:10:54Get away from our baby and get out of our house!
00:11:04Fine.
00:11:05But there's something weird going on here.
00:11:07And I'll find out what it is.
00:11:09The CEO position will be mine.
00:11:12And the first thing I'll do is fire you, brother.
00:11:15Is everyone in your family like that?
00:11:30My half-brother is just the tip of the iceberg.
00:11:33So keep your guard up.
00:11:39I have a few things I have to do.
00:11:42Your room is upstairs.
00:11:43What have I gotten myself into?
00:11:49At least I'll be able to take care of my mom when this is all over.
00:11:53If there's anything you need while I'm gone, just call.
00:11:56But the nurse will take care of you.
00:11:57How did you get the money for a nurse?
00:12:00It's so expensive.
00:12:01I...
00:12:02I got a job.
00:12:05Don't worry about me.
00:12:09I gotta go.
00:12:10I'll see you soon.
00:12:13Oh.
00:12:23Holy...
00:12:25Hot.
00:12:31See something you like?
00:12:35I...
00:12:36Miss Evans? Everything okay?
00:12:43Emma needs us.
00:12:46Right behind you.
00:12:56What's wrong with her?
00:12:58Hey, hey. Hey.
00:13:01Shh, there you go. Good job, baby girl.
00:13:05How did you do that?
00:13:07She just wanted to be held. You should hold her.
00:13:11Oh, I don't know about that.
00:13:13She's your daughter. She probably wants you more than anyone else.
00:13:17Trust me, I wish my dad was around.
00:13:22I've never held a baby before and she's so little I don't want to hurt her.
00:13:26Okay, baby steps. Say goodnight to your daughter.
00:13:36Goodnight, Emma.
00:13:42Goodnight, Emma.
00:13:46It's the private investigator. The sooner I find out who Emma's mom is, the better.
00:14:04I don't know.
00:14:06Did the private chef make all this?
00:14:10No. I did.
00:14:14A playboy billionaire who cooks. Maybe I misjudged you.
00:14:18Not such a prick after all, huh?
00:14:20Maybe life with Aston won't be so bad after all.
00:14:24Ah, but back to business. My family is coming over for dinner tonight. They want to meet you.
00:14:40Your family? Aston, I can't. Oh, you can. And you will.
00:14:58This is part of the deal. If you want the money, everyone has to believe that you're my fiancé and the mother of my child, starting with my family.
00:15:20Mom?
00:15:22Mom?
00:15:23Can you hear me?
00:15:25My mom's in trouble.
00:15:27Mom?
00:15:33Danny, what are you doing? I paid you.
00:15:36Ah, well, I changed my mind when I heard you were checking out with some billion.
00:15:46Don't touch those. That's all we have. Without them, she'll die.
00:15:51Well, now that you've come into some money, you can pay me more.
00:15:55Two years' rent should do it.
00:15:58She'll pay you what she owes you and not a cent more.
00:16:06This is your billionaire boyfriend?
00:16:08Actually, he's my fiancé.
00:16:12And he's rich and powerful.
00:16:17He has a bigger dick than you.
00:16:19You really think you're good enough for him?
00:16:27I only fucked you because I felt sorry for you and your dying time.
00:16:38Stella is more than good enough for me. If you touch her again, I will kill you.
00:16:40I will kill you.
00:16:47Those for my fiancé.
00:16:49And this one's for me.
00:16:55Stella?
00:16:57Mom!
00:16:59Mom!
00:17:01Oh, and he took my medicine.
00:17:08I have it right here, Mrs. Evans.
00:17:12That man will never bother you again.
00:17:15I will make sure of it.
00:17:19And I'm sending someone for your things.
00:17:20You're coming to live with us.
00:17:30Thank you for helping me with my mom.
00:17:34That wasn't part of the deal.
00:17:41Not everything I do has to be about our deal, Stella.
00:17:50Still, thank you.
00:17:57And I'm sorry for calling you a prick earlier.
00:17:59Why?
00:18:01I can be a prick.
00:18:03When I really want to be.
00:18:07Speaking of our deal, be ready by 7pm for the family dinner.
00:18:12But I have nothing to wear.
00:18:17I'll take care of that.
00:18:20I'm not a prick.
00:18:23I'm not a prick.
00:18:26I'm very happy.
00:18:27What should I do?
00:18:29I'm not a prick.
00:18:31I'm not a prick.
00:18:33Oh my God.
00:18:36Oh my God.
00:18:37Oh my God.
00:18:40Oh my God.
00:18:43Oh my God.
00:18:46I hoped you'd pick the red
00:18:56You look beautiful
00:18:59Thank you
00:19:00I'm still debating what shoes to wear though
00:19:03Allow me
00:19:16There's one thing missing
00:19:43There's one thing missing
00:19:44A ring
00:19:51May I?
00:19:59Aston, it's beautiful, but it's too much
00:20:03It's only for appearances, nothing more
00:20:05Please wear it
00:20:08Shall we?
00:20:19Shall we?
00:20:19You ready to sell this?
00:20:40Aston, a word
00:20:48It'll take a moment
00:20:53Go
00:20:56I'll be fine
00:20:59Stella
00:21:15How nice of you to join us
00:21:17This is the woman who trapped our Aston with a bastard child
00:21:22Funny, it's hard to believe that you had a baby less than a year ago
00:21:29Mother, be nice
00:21:31I'm sure Stella's trying her best
00:21:35Doing her best
00:21:35Oh, I didn't know Aston had a sister
00:21:40Sister?
00:21:44No
00:21:45I'm Clarissa
00:21:46Aston's ex-fiancé
00:21:50Oh, God
00:21:59Is she pregnant with Aston's baby?
00:22:05No wonder Aston didn't introduce you earlier
00:22:07You're nothing like me
00:22:08And thank God for that
00:22:10Stella would never cheat on me and get knocked up by my brother
00:22:13At least we didn't hide our child from the entire family
00:22:17That's right
00:22:19Where even is my step-grandbaby?
00:22:23You see, Robert
00:22:25He's as negligent a father as he would be a CEO
00:22:27She's with the nanny
00:22:29To keep her from the judgment of people like you
00:22:31All that matters is our judgment
00:22:34And bringing in this peasant
00:22:37Certainly doesn't help your case
00:22:39Excuse me?
00:22:41Who are you calling peasant?
00:22:43Being rich doesn't mean you can walk all over me
00:22:45How dare you talk back to me like that?
00:22:54You can't even control your worthless fiancé
00:22:57You'll never be good enough to be CEO
00:23:00Aston is the only person
00:23:05Who should run Montgomery Enterprises
00:23:07Anyone else's CEO would be a mistake
00:23:09Especially your son
00:23:12You have upset my fiancé and I won't stand for that
00:23:22Dinner is canceled
00:23:24Get out of my house
00:23:26Now
00:23:30Sorry if I was out of line
00:23:48No
00:23:49Thank you for defending me
00:23:51You didn't have to do that
00:23:54Of course I did
00:23:57I'm your fiancé
00:24:01I never should have watched you do this
00:24:08It's not fair to you
00:24:11I'll pay you what I owe you
00:24:14Take the money and go Stella
00:24:19What's going to happen to you and Emma?
00:24:22Don't worry about us
00:24:23I do worry about you
00:24:24I care about you both
00:24:28I'm sorry Stella but
00:24:29This contract with me and this is over
00:24:32What contract?
00:24:37What contract?
00:24:44What contract?
00:24:50I told you what would happen if I caught you lying
00:24:52We're not lying
00:24:54Prove it
00:24:56We were just talking about a prenup
00:25:02Aston wants me to sign one
00:25:04To protect your family
00:25:06I think it's admirable
00:25:08I see
00:25:13You've saved me twice in the last 20 minutes
00:25:26You are not what I expected
00:25:32What did you expect?
00:25:34I don't know
00:25:37Not you
00:25:40Why are you looking at me like you want to kiss me?
00:25:48Because I do want to kiss you
00:25:49Because I do want to kiss you
00:25:57That's all I thought about
00:26:00Is that you put on that red dress
00:26:04We probably shouldn't complicate this whole fake relationship thing
00:26:12Especially since we're not actually getting married
00:26:15You're right
00:26:18We'll break off this engagement as soon as possible
00:26:22And we'll both get everything we want
00:26:24I have some good news
00:26:45You're getting married
00:26:47Tomorrow
00:26:48Congratulations
00:26:57By this time tomorrow
00:26:59You'll officially be husband and wife
00:27:01Tomorrow?
00:27:04Unless there's some sort of problem with getting married tomorrow
00:27:08It's just
00:27:09We're not in a rush
00:27:11But the board is
00:27:13A child out of wedlock
00:27:15Is a scandal
00:27:17And one that must be remedied immediately
00:27:20I hope that won't be a problem
00:27:25Married?
00:27:35That wasn't part of the deal
00:27:36I know
00:27:37But would it be so bad being married to me?
00:27:42No
00:27:49It's just
00:27:51This isn't exactly how I pictured getting married
00:27:55It takes some time to think about it
00:28:06But I need an answer tonight
00:28:09Mom
00:28:21How did you know when you were ready to get married?
00:28:26I don't think anybody ever is ready, truly
00:28:30I mean, your father and I certainly weren't
00:28:34You weren't?
00:28:36No
00:28:36We were young
00:28:38Too young, even
00:28:40But your father made me feel the way I'd never felt before
00:28:46He made me feel loved
00:28:49Valued
00:28:50Whole
00:28:53It didn't even work out
00:29:10It ended before I was born
00:29:12Just because something doesn't last
00:29:17Doesn't mean you can't enjoy it while you have it
00:29:21Plus
00:29:27Your father gave me you
00:29:29Which is more than enough
00:29:32I can't deny it
00:29:35I want to marry Aston
00:29:36Even if it's temporary
00:29:38He and Emma are my family
00:29:40But you would break my heart when it's all over
00:29:43She just went down
00:29:55Look, I know this isn't what you wanted
00:30:00And
00:30:01You deserve to marry someone who truly cares about you
00:30:05So
00:30:06If you want to walk away now
00:30:10I
00:30:10I won't blame you
00:30:12So
00:30:15Do you have an answer for me?
00:30:22So
00:30:23Do you have an answer for me?
00:30:25I do
00:30:27Aston, look at me
00:30:32I never thought I would get married as part of a contract
00:30:38But
00:30:38I said I'd help you
00:30:40And I'll keep my word
00:30:42Thank you
00:30:45It means a lot to me
00:30:47I have to say I'm surprised Aston is going through with this
00:30:55I definitely thought that he would have dumped you by now
00:30:58He probably will once he sees her in that rag
00:31:01It was my mother's wedding dress
00:31:04Of course it was
00:31:06Only a poor person would wear something like that
00:31:08I'm surprised your prince charming didn't buy you something better
00:31:11He clearly doesn't care about you
00:31:14Aston cares about me
00:31:20And I don't need a dress to prove it
00:31:22Are you sure
00:31:23If he really loved you
00:31:25He would have given you his mother's ring
00:31:29Are you sure
00:31:33If he really loved you
00:31:35He would have given you his mother's ring
00:31:39Is that what he gave you, Clarissa?
00:31:50No
00:31:52But that's only because I wanted something bigger
00:31:54From Mr. Montgomery
00:32:00For his fiancée
00:32:02Oh my god
00:32:04It's gorgeous
00:32:07That's the late Mrs. Montgomery's necklace
00:32:10That's supposed to be mine
00:32:12I am under strict orders
00:32:15To allow nobody but Ms. Evans near this necklace
00:32:18Especially you
00:32:21You look like the future Mrs. Montgomery
00:32:42I do
00:32:45If only this were real
00:32:49I know that you and Aston are lying about your relationship
00:33:07So if you know what's best
00:33:10You won't go through with this wedding
00:33:12Aston isn't who you think he is
00:33:15So if you know what's best
00:33:21You won't go through with this wedding
00:33:23Aston isn't the man you think he is
00:33:29Whatever money you think you might be getting
00:33:32Whatever feelings you think he may have
00:33:35It's all just one big lie
00:33:38Your vision of the future is not the reality
00:33:42Thank you for the advice
00:33:48But I don't need it
00:33:51I can handle myself
00:33:52And nothing you say can scare me
00:33:56Say no to Aston in front of everyone
00:34:02Or I'll make sure you regret it
00:34:04Your choice, Stella Evans
00:34:07Don't make the wrong one
00:34:09You look beautiful
00:34:35Hey
00:34:37Is everything okay?
00:34:40Is it true?
00:34:41Is Aston just using me to get what he wants?
00:34:44Is he just using Emma?
00:34:46Dearly beloved
00:34:47We are gathered here today
00:34:50To join this man and woman in holy magic
00:34:52Marriage is powerful in ways
00:34:54It makes you feel lucky to be
00:34:55You take Aston to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:34:57I'm sorry, I can't marry you
00:35:09I'm sorry, I can't marry you
00:35:17What the hell was that about?
00:35:35Is this all fake, Aston?
00:35:37Every word you're telling me
00:35:39Every look you're giving me
00:35:40Is it all just some charade?
00:35:42Jesus
00:35:42Is this necklace even real?
00:35:44God
00:35:46Hey
00:35:53Hey
00:35:55God
00:35:57I have meant every word I've said to you
00:36:19None of this is a lie
00:36:22And this necklace
00:36:24My mother left it to me before she died
00:36:29She said
00:36:30That I should only give it to someone I care about
00:36:34Someone I saw a future with
00:36:37I'm falling for you Stella Evans
00:36:56I have been since the moment I met you
00:37:00I don't know how I feel right now
00:37:18Today's just been a lot
00:37:20And my mind is all over the place
00:37:23You're right
00:37:25This wedding's way too much too soon
00:37:28Stay here and
00:37:31I'll tell everybody the wedding is off
00:37:33Excellent
00:37:43A runaway bride is an even bigger scandal than a love child
00:37:46This must be a record, brother
00:37:56Two fiancés down
00:37:59At least this one made it to the altar
00:38:00Hi everyone
00:38:03Sorry to keep you waiting
00:38:04But
00:38:05There won't be
00:38:07Any more interruptions
00:38:08Who's ready for a wedding?
00:38:11Okay
00:38:36Let's try this again
00:38:37Dearly beloved
00:38:40We are gathered here today
00:38:42To join this man and this woman
00:38:44In holy matrimony
00:38:46Marriage is powerful in ways you'd never expect
00:38:49It's something that makes you feel lucky to be alive
00:38:52Exactly when and where you are
00:38:54It's choosing your partner
00:38:56At every moment of every day
00:38:59And of learning how to love
00:39:01Even the darkest parts of another person
00:39:03A true partner stays with you
00:39:05Through thick and thin
00:39:06In sickness and in health
00:39:08For better or worse
00:39:10For richer or poorer
00:39:11And death do you part
00:39:13Asked him
00:39:15Do you take Stella to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:39:19I do
00:39:19And Stella
00:39:21Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:39:24Stella
00:39:34Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:39:37I do
00:39:47You may kiss the bride now
00:39:50I'd like to congratulate my eldest son on his marriage today
00:40:07And to announce that he's going to be taking over Montgomery Enterprises
00:40:12As my successor and CEO tomorrow
00:40:16Oh, this is bullshit
00:40:17CEO should be mine
00:40:20This is your fault, you little bitch
00:40:25I hope that hurt
00:40:28Oh my god
00:40:29Not as much as this world
00:40:31You're not my baby!
00:40:34Not as much as this world
00:40:35You're not my baby!
00:40:40What the hell?
00:40:41You ruined my suit!
00:40:42You touched my wife again
00:40:43I will end you
00:40:44Now get the hell out of my wedding
00:40:46Baby!
00:40:49You're just going to stand there and let him do that
00:40:57You're right
00:40:58I should have stopped him before the slap
00:41:00Let's get out of here before someone else tries to ruin everything
00:41:03Whoa
00:41:12Are you okay?
00:41:19God bless you!
00:43:19You barely got me.
00:43:24So, husband, what should we do next?
00:43:30I have wanted you since the moment we met, Mrs. Montgomery.
00:43:45Where are you going?
00:44:01If I don't leave now, I won't be able to stop myself from tearing you out of that dress.
00:44:12I said I wanted you to stop.
00:44:16This is the moment I met you.
00:44:26You have consumed my everything.
00:44:29I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't work without thinking about you, without imagining this.
00:44:38Do you want me?
00:44:42More than anything.
00:44:46I'll make this unforgettable.
00:44:50Oh, yeah.
00:44:52Make this unforgettable.
00:44:54Oh, yeah.
00:44:56Tell me what you want if I need you.
00:45:04Tell me if you want to die.
00:45:07I'm trying to teach you.
00:45:09I'm trying to teach you.
00:45:11I'm trying to teach you.
00:45:13I'm trying to teach you.
00:45:26I'm trying to teach you.
00:45:31I don't know what happened. One minute she was breathing and the next thing she...
00:45:35Thank God.
00:45:40Hey.
00:45:42Hey. It's okay. She's okay now. See?
00:45:56That's the most terrified I've ever been in my life.
00:45:57That's because she's your baby girl and you love her.
00:46:05What if I can't do this on my own?
00:46:07What if I can't raise an entire human being?
00:46:09That's...
00:46:16You're not alone.
00:46:31You have me.
00:46:38It's the private investigator.
00:46:41He might have information on who Emma's mom is.
00:46:43Mom, I wanted to let you know that I went through with the wedding.
00:47:03And I brought you a picture.
00:47:08And I even wore your dress.
00:47:11Stella.
00:47:13Oh, you're so beautiful.
00:47:17I'm so glad you found someone to take care of you after.
00:47:21Oh, God.
00:47:25What are you talking about?
00:47:33What's this?
00:47:34A clinical trial?
00:47:37But it costs $10 million?
00:47:39Something like that could save my mom.
00:47:41But how am I ever going to get that much money?
00:47:51There you are.
00:47:54Everything okay?
00:47:57Yep.
00:47:59What are you doing?
00:48:00I have to take a paternity test.
00:48:14I have to take a paternity test.
00:48:17I guess we'll know soon if I'm Emma's father.
00:48:23If?
00:48:24Well, they got the footage from the office the day Emma was dropped off.
00:48:29But the woman who was there, I don't recognize her.
00:48:33So you just forgot someone you slept with?
00:48:40That wasn't a good time in my life.
00:48:43I made a lot of bad decisions.
00:48:44But I've changed.
00:48:48You've changed me.
00:48:52Which is why I need you to come with me to the board meeting today.
00:48:57You keep me grounded.
00:48:58Of course, I'll go with you.
00:49:09Today is about more than my retirement.
00:49:11It's about the future of Montgomery Enterprises.
00:49:15A future that will be ripped to shreds if you allow your lying son to become CEO.
00:49:22What are you talking about?
00:49:26You.
00:49:28You're not the mother of his child.
00:49:34You're not the mother of his child.
00:49:37You're lying.
00:49:38They're both lying to all of you.
00:49:44Stella Evans.
00:49:45This 10 o'clock interview with Aston Montgomery for the executive assistant position.
00:49:54Looks like he offered a different job to her altogether.
00:49:58This man would go so far as to marry a complete stranger in order to become your CEO.
00:50:05I don't know how much he's paying you, but it must be a lot.
00:50:09If this is true, son, you're an embarrassment to this family and this company.
00:50:13The board can't proceed with a vote.
00:50:21It's true.
00:50:23Stella was there to interview that day.
00:50:26Me.
00:50:27To see if I was up for the challenge to raising our daughter.
00:50:30But this isn't about my personal life.
00:50:33This is about what's best for Montgomery Enterprises going into the future.
00:50:36And since I've become COO, I have more than doubled our profits.
00:50:40And if that's not enough for you, then I don't know what is.
00:50:43It doesn't matter what you say.
00:50:48Mom already promised me the position of CEO would be mine.
00:50:52Enough.
00:50:55We will vote now.
00:50:58Is there a vote for Clive?
00:51:04And for Aston?
00:51:05It's a tie.
00:51:15So it all comes down to my father.
00:51:19And I have decided.
00:51:21The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises is...
00:51:34The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises is...
00:51:40Aston Montgomery.
00:51:42What about me?
00:51:48I've looked at the financials.
00:51:50You've spent more time at the country club than in the boardroom.
00:51:54It's not my fault their Cobb salads are excellent.
00:51:58And the boardroom is boring.
00:52:00Come on.
00:52:07Congratulations, Aston.
00:52:08The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises.
00:52:12But make me doubt anything else.
00:52:14And I'll rip everything away from you two without hesitation.
00:52:17So what's your first act as CEO?
00:52:36I violate every page of the HR handbook.
00:52:38It's a good thing you never gave me that job.
00:52:40I need you.
00:52:50We can't.
00:52:51Somebody could walk in.
00:52:52So?
00:52:53So.
00:52:53Remember what your dad said?
00:52:55Can't afford another scandal.
00:53:02Aston.
00:53:04The board would like to see you.
00:53:06To go over some financials.
00:53:08Of course.
00:53:10Knock, knock.
00:53:26Clarissa, if you're here to bully me, I am not in the mood.
00:53:28That's not why I'm here.
00:53:30I'm here as a courtesy.
00:53:32You deserve the truth.
00:53:33And clearly, Aston isn't going to give it to you.
00:53:36This baby isn't Clive's.
00:53:43It's Aston's.
00:53:44What the hell are you talking about?
00:53:53That baby cannot be Aston's.
00:53:55Well, we clearly couldn't tell you until the ruse was over.
00:53:58Until he became CEO.
00:54:00But now that it's all over, and Aston got what he wanted,
00:54:04we don't need you anymore.
00:54:05He doesn't need you anymore.
00:54:09He doesn't need you anymore.
00:54:09I don't believe you.
00:54:38Leave Aston, then.
00:54:42Go ahead.
00:54:43Open that desk drawer.
00:54:55Oh my god.
00:54:57He signed the divorce papers.
00:55:00Clarissa's telling the truth.
00:55:01You can go now.
00:55:22Sweet, Emma.
00:55:25I'm gonna miss you so much.
00:55:27What's going on?
00:55:30I'm saying goodbye to Emma, and then I'm out of here.
00:55:34Just like you want me to be.
00:55:40Stella, why are you packing?
00:55:42Here.
00:55:43I signed up.
00:55:43You don't have to worry about me anymore.
00:55:45What are you talking about?
00:55:46Come on, Aston.
00:55:47You used me to get everything you wanted.
00:55:50I was a fool to think we could ever be together.
00:55:52That we could ever have a family together.
00:55:55Oh, and by the way, congratulations on the baby.
00:55:58I hope you and Clarissa are really happy together.
00:56:02Wait.
00:56:09Wait.
00:56:10Please, let me explain.
00:56:19What could you possibly have to say to me?
00:56:24There is nothing and will never be anything between me and Clarissa ever again.
00:56:29I'm not even the father of her child.
00:56:31And these, I have these drawn up the day I met you before.
00:56:33I knew this could be anything more than a contract.
00:56:35And this, just, just, just take it.
00:56:40Please, just take everything out.
00:56:42All I want is you and Emma.
00:56:44I could take or leave anything.
00:56:46You don't mean that.
00:56:47Of course I mean it.
00:56:49I have meant every word I have said to you.
00:56:54I'm in, Stella.
00:56:54I'm all in.
00:56:57Are you?
00:57:03I'm in, Stella.
00:57:03I'm all in.
00:57:05Are you?
00:57:11Yeah.
00:57:12I'm all in.
00:57:18Yes.
00:57:27The paternity results are in.
00:57:31I'm not going to be fine.
00:57:32I'm not going to be fine.
00:57:35I can't believe I'm not her father.
00:57:53I can't believe I'm not her father.
00:57:57If she doesn't belong to me, then why would that woman have shown up at my office and
00:58:05made me believe she was mine?
00:58:11I can't tell you why this is happening, Aston.
00:58:15But Emma's lucky to have you as a dad.
00:58:19Biological or not.
00:58:20We need to find the truth.
00:58:30Dahlia's behind it all.
00:58:36I'm not telling you anything.
00:58:38This isn't a game, Dahlia.
00:58:39She's a child.
00:58:41Where did Emma come from?
00:58:43Step down to CEO and I'll tell you.
00:58:49Step down to CEO and I'll tell you.
00:58:52Are you kidding me?
00:58:53This is way bigger than a CEO position.
00:58:56This is a child's life you're messing with.
00:58:59Shut up, you little tramp.
00:59:02If you hadn't come along pretending to be her mother, the scandal would have proceeded as
00:59:07planned.
00:59:08And that little child would be back at the orphanage right where she belonged.
00:59:13Orphanage?
00:59:15That's right.
00:59:16The baby's trash just like you.
00:59:19You better get control of your little wife.
00:59:42Or nothing.
00:59:44You will not speak about my wife or my family that way.
00:59:47Get out.
00:59:49Call every orphanage in the city until you find one that's missing a baby.
01:00:14It's okay.
01:00:15It's okay.
01:00:16We're gonna figure this out.
01:00:19Oh my god, did she just call me mama?
01:00:23She's yours if you want her to be.
01:00:30I don't want to be, but until we figure out what's going on, I can't get attached.
01:00:38Mama.
01:00:39I understand.
01:00:41Mama.
01:00:42Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Montgomery, what can you say about the recent allegations that
01:00:48Ms. Evans is not the mother of your son's child?
01:00:53Mr. Montgomery, you can't ignore us, Mr. Montgomery.
01:00:55What's going on?
01:01:01The press is having a field day out there.
01:01:05I told you to.
01:01:06No more scandals!
01:01:07What are you talking about?
01:01:10I went out on a limb for you, son.
01:01:12I trusted you.
01:01:13And this has been a lie the whole time?
01:01:17You say she's the mother of your child?
01:01:19Prove it, or I'll expect you to step down as CEO tomorrow morning.
01:01:26How do we prove it?
01:01:29Simple.
01:01:31Take a maternity test.
01:01:38How do we prove it?
01:01:42Simple.
01:01:43Take a maternity test.
01:01:45We're not going away, Mr. Montgomery, by the way.
01:01:55Come on, Al.
01:01:58Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:02:00Okay.
01:02:03Aston, if I take a maternity test, they're going to know that Emma's not mine, and then we
01:02:08may lose her.
01:02:10Forever.
01:02:11No.
01:02:15We should have never lied in the first place.
01:02:25Mom!
01:02:27Mom!
01:02:30My mom is dying!
01:02:37My head is so warm.
01:02:41It's okay.
01:02:41It's okay.
01:02:41My heart was racing.
01:02:52I was so scared.
01:02:55It's okay.
01:02:59It's okay.
01:03:00It's all going to be okay.
01:03:01It's okay.
01:03:14Hey.
01:03:16My mom's getting worse.
01:03:20She needs this experimental treatment, but we can't afford it, so...
01:03:26Why didn't you tell me?
01:03:27I didn't want to be a burden to you.
01:03:32You can never be a burden.
01:03:36How much does the treatment cost?
01:03:43Ten million dollars.
01:03:45I'll pay it.
01:03:46Every penny.
01:03:47Every penny.
01:03:47I'll pay it.
01:03:56Every penny.
01:03:58Aston...
01:03:59Like I said, money doesn't matter.
01:04:02I would do anything for you.
01:04:03Anything for our family.
01:04:10You have no idea what this means to me.
01:04:22How do you always know just what to say to make me feel better?
01:04:26Because I know you.
01:04:28I know what you want.
01:04:29I know what you need.
01:04:31That's what happens to someone when you...
01:04:32When you...
01:04:33When you...
01:04:37When you what?
01:04:41When you love someone.
01:04:44And I love you.
01:04:46Stella Evans.
01:04:53And I love you.
01:04:54Stella Evans.
01:05:02Do you love me?
01:05:06I do.
01:05:09I can't believe it's taken me so long to say...
01:05:12Please tell me you feel the same.
01:05:27I don't know what I'm feeling.
01:05:30It's all just...
01:05:31It's too much.
01:05:35I understand.
01:05:44Hi.
01:05:45I'd like to pay a bill for Mary Evans.
01:05:49It has.
01:05:52By who?
01:05:56I see.
01:06:01A year ago...
01:06:18I gave up my baby girl.
01:06:21I had no choice and it broke my heart.
01:06:26The chances are almost impossible.
01:06:28But I have to know.
01:06:30Could Emma be my daughter?
01:06:43Hello.
01:06:44I'd like to schedule a maternity test.
01:06:57Hey, Stella.
01:06:58Do you...
01:06:59Everything okay?
01:07:02Fine.
01:07:02I don't know.
01:07:05I don't know.
01:07:08You seem...
01:07:09Off.
01:07:16I'm just stressed.
01:07:20I just can't stop thinking about Emma's mother and how our lives could come crashing down over some maternity test.
01:07:27Yeah, then don't take it.
01:07:28What?
01:07:30No, I can't ask you to do that.
01:07:32That's not fair to you.
01:07:35Don't worry about what's fair to me.
01:07:37It's all I'm worried about.
01:07:39You mean more to me than this CEO position.
01:07:42He's trying to help, but if Emma's somehow mine, I can save Aston's job and his reputation.
01:07:51Just...
01:07:52Don't do anything rash, okay?
01:07:55We still have until tomorrow to figure it out.
01:07:57I need to ask.
01:08:03Does the name Andrew Beaumont mean anything to you?
01:08:08No.
01:08:10Should it?
01:08:12Well, he paid for your mother's treatment.
01:08:16All 10 million.
01:08:18Mom, who's Andrew Beaumont?
01:08:37How do you know about him?
01:08:42He paid for your treatment.
01:08:44Who is he?
01:08:45Who is he?
01:08:48Mom?
01:08:51Mom?
01:08:52Mom!
01:08:54Someone call a doctor!
01:08:56Mom!
01:08:57Mom!
01:09:13I spoke with the doctors.
01:09:18She's been put in a medically induced coma until the swelling in her brain subsides.
01:09:24It's all my fault if I wouldn't have pushed her.
01:09:27No, Estella.
01:09:28It is not your fault.
01:09:32I know.
01:09:33I know.
01:09:33And I know she's sick.
01:09:34I just wish there was something I could do.
01:09:37She's with the doctors now.
01:09:38She's getting the treatment she needs.
01:09:41It'll all be fine.
01:09:44No matter how much you keep blaming yourself.
01:09:47I'll say it again.
01:09:50It's not your fault.
01:09:51It's not your fault.
01:09:52It's not your fault.
01:09:52It's not your fault.
01:09:53It's not your fault.
01:09:53It's not your fault.
01:09:54It's not your fault.
01:09:54It's not your fault.
01:09:55It's not your fault.
01:09:56It's not your fault.
01:09:56It's not your fault.
01:09:56It's not your fault.
01:09:57It's not your fault.
01:09:57It's not your fault.
01:09:57It's not your fault.
01:09:58It's not your fault.
01:09:58It's not your fault.
01:09:59It's not your fault.
01:09:59It's not your fault.
01:10:00Okay, Emma, time to learn the truth.
01:10:30In breaking news, CEO Aston Montgomery has called a last-minute press conference to address
01:10:37the future of Montgomery Enterprises.
01:10:40Reporters have it on good authority that he is prepared to step down as CEO, handing
01:10:44the company over to his half-brother, Clive Montgomery, in the wake of a paternity scandal.
01:11:00Oh, my God, I can save him.
01:11:13Ma'am, ma'am, how do you answer the allegation and the accusation against you?
01:11:19Sir, can you please tell us?
01:11:21Mr. Montgomery, you do understand that not forcing your wife to take a maternity test
01:11:26is an admission of guilt, right?
01:11:29Which means you've been lying...to everyone.
01:11:32Wait!
01:11:33We're not lying.
01:11:35I took the test.
01:11:37I have the results right here.
01:11:43I have the results right here.
01:11:44Over here, ma'am.
01:11:45Ma'am, ma'am.
01:11:46They've been fighting a long while.
01:11:48Hey!
01:11:49You know how much I'm willing to pay for those?
01:11:51Not enough.
01:11:52Trust me.
01:11:53Over here, ma'am.
01:11:54Ma'am.
01:11:55Ma'am.
01:11:56They've been fighting a long while.
01:11:57Do you understand what you're talking about?
01:11:59How long has this happened?
01:12:01Our readers want to know...
01:12:02You took the maternity test?
01:12:03Why?
01:12:04Aston, there's something I need to tell you.
01:12:05Show us the results, sweetheart.
01:12:07Prove your husband's not lying.
01:12:14I don't owe anyone proof.
01:12:16Believe me or don't.
01:12:17But I am Emma's mother.
01:12:20I believe you.
01:12:21Don't even think about it, Dahlia.
01:12:31This is so sweet.
01:12:35If only it mattered.
01:12:38You're too late, Stella.
01:12:39Aston already stepped down.
01:12:50You already stepped down?
01:12:52Yes.
01:12:53To protect you.
01:12:54To protect Emma.
01:12:55Aston, we were fine.
01:12:56All you've ever wanted to do is be safe.
01:12:58To be a great husband to you and a great father to Emma.
01:13:02That's all that matters to me.
01:13:03We can figure out the rest.
01:13:06It looks like you're working for me now, brother.
01:13:10I own the company now, which means I own you.
01:13:16Not quite.
01:13:20I just received an offer from Montgomery Enterprises.
01:13:23One that I couldn't refuse.

01:19:08the story
01:19:08I think it was
01:19:17I'm pregnant.
01:19:33Hey.
01:19:35Your mother and I were just catching up.
01:19:39I still can't believe this.
01:19:43Forgive me for not telling you about your father sooner.
01:19:47When I got sick, I decided to write him.
01:19:51Forgiving him.
01:19:54I never thought you would.
01:19:58And, um, I hope you can forgive me, too.
01:20:10You've been missing from my life for years.
01:20:13It's going to take more than money to earn my forgiveness.
01:20:17I understand.
01:20:20And I'd really like to get to know you better.
01:20:24And my grandbaby.
01:20:25Which one?
01:20:36Oh, Stella!
01:20:39Aston, your assistant called and said it was an emergency.
01:20:49Stella Evans?
01:20:52Yes.
01:20:57Come with me.
01:20:58The last time I heard those words, I got roped into a fake marriage.
01:21:13Well, this time, I'm hoping you'll say yes to a real one.
01:21:18Aston, is that your mother's ring?
01:21:32It is.
01:21:34And you're the only person who's ever been worthy of it.
01:21:39Stella Evans, ever since you stepped into my office, you have changed the course of my life.
01:21:44You have given me a beautiful child.
01:21:47Children.
01:21:50I'm pregnant.
01:21:56I want forever with you.
01:21:57No deals.
01:21:58No schemes.
01:21:59No schemes.
01:22:01Just us.
01:22:04Will you marry me?
01:22:13I can't.
01:22:14It's just, we've done this whole thing backwards.
01:22:24I want us to take our time.
01:22:27Okay.
01:22:29I can be patient.
01:22:32But when you're ready for forever, let me know.
01:22:37Because I'm all in Stella Evans.
01:22:38Okay.
01:22:39I can be patient.
