00:00:04Miss Ri, your ovaries aren't doing their best lately.
00:00:07This could be the start of ovarian failure.
00:00:10Ovarian failure? I mean, I'm so young.
00:00:13Is this going to mess with me having kids?
00:00:15I've always wanted to be a mom.
00:00:17If you want a child, it is medically advisable to do so within the next six months.
00:00:26Babe, me at X Hotels, 3.02 at 7 p.m.
00:00:30Got a surprise for you.
00:00:35Ethan loves me so much, maybe...
00:00:38Maybe it's not such a bad idea to have a baby sooner rather than later.
00:00:44No, I'm going to tell him now.
00:00:46Yeah.
00:00:47Okay.
00:00:50Oh!
00:01:05Early ovarian failure at 25.
00:01:07If someone sees this, die of embarrassment.
00:01:13Sorry.
00:01:14Are you okay?
00:01:15Yeah.
00:01:16I'm fine.
00:01:17Oh!
00:01:34Oh, my God!
00:01:36Lila!
00:01:38You said you'd be back at 7.
00:01:39Chidi, is this the big surprise you had planned for me?
00:01:45Oh, you're such a buzzkill.
00:01:48You always said you wanted to try something new?
00:01:50Come join us.
00:01:54You always said you wanted to try something new?
00:01:56Come join us.
00:01:58Three years.
00:01:59You know, I wasted three years on you.
00:02:02God, I'm such an idiot.
00:02:04You know, I was planning on having a baby.
00:02:06A baby?
00:02:08Sweet art.
00:02:18You really think I'd marry you for your cheap love over legs like these?
00:02:24You know what?
00:02:26We're done.
00:02:29Six months?
00:02:30What, am I just supposed to find some random guy to get me pregnant?
00:02:43I don't need a man to have my dreams come true.
00:02:47One appointment, one sperm donor, and I can have my own baby.
00:02:59Six months to produce an heir, or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:03:05Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:03:08Sir, the surrogate candidates have all been better thoroughly.
00:03:12I mean, Ivy League graduates, impeccable healthcare histories.
00:03:18I don't need resumes.
00:03:19I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:03:22Find me someone who knows their place.
00:03:24Someone who will quietly disappear after they give birth.
00:03:31You.
00:03:35Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:03:37Oh, um, right.
00:03:40Well, let's get started.
00:03:42Um, education background?
00:03:46Excuse me?
00:03:47And I'm going to need a complete medical history.
00:03:49Family genetic conditions, mostly.
00:03:50Um, do you exercise regularly?
00:03:53You look...
00:03:57Acceptable.
00:03:58Do you have any idea who I am?
00:04:01I'm just being thorough.
00:04:03This is about making a healthy baby, after all.
00:04:08Why are men always so fools of themselves?
00:04:10Um, um, sir, I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:04:14I need to know about your reproductive history.
00:04:18Sexual partners in the last six months?
00:04:20Mr. Crawford, I can show her out.
00:04:22It's okay.
00:04:23Thompson, you can leave us.
00:04:24Okay.
00:04:25What are you doing?
00:04:33I'm making sure this is thorough.
00:04:55I'm making sure this is thorough.
00:04:56That performance has never been a problem.
00:04:58Now that Thompson's gone, are you comfortable sharing yours?
00:05:01Oh, um, of course.
00:05:03Uh, I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:05:05Uh, no genetic conditions.
00:05:07I get checkups regularly.
00:05:09I even started taking prenatal vitamins.
00:05:13Good.
00:05:13I have to say, you're a perfect match.
00:05:17How about, in regards to compensation, have you got a figure in mind?
00:05:21Well, I was thinking, $800?
00:05:24Dollars?
00:05:25$800?
00:05:28Well, I was expecting a figure much higher than that.
00:05:33I know it's not much, but, you know, considering the quality, and I could help out in other ways.
00:05:39I could do your paperwork.
00:05:42Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:05:53Are you serious?
00:05:56All this?
00:05:57Take your time reviewing, but the key point is, after birth, the child stays with me.
00:06:01No contact.
00:06:02Are you kidding me?
00:06:04You want to keep my baby?
00:06:07Are you kidding me?
00:06:08You want to keep my baby?
00:06:10My baby!
00:06:12Is this some kind of sick joke?
00:06:14That's standard procedure for a surrogacy agreement.
00:06:17Surrogacy what?
00:06:18Surrogacy!
00:06:19The position that you're interviewing for.
00:06:21Interviewing?
00:06:21No, I came here to buy sperm.
00:06:24You came to what?
00:06:29Oh, my God.
00:06:32I?
00:06:33I?
00:06:35I thought you were a donor.
00:06:37I thought you were a donor.
00:06:37That is why I came here to ask you all those questions about your qualifications.
00:06:42And I thought you were applying to be my surrogate.
00:06:46I am so sorry about all the confusion.
00:06:49I?
00:06:52I'm going to go.
00:06:55A million dollars.
00:06:58For caring my child.
00:07:05I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:07:08Not somebody else's.

00:07:23Miss Reed.

00:07:38You're going to be okay.

00:17:09I don't know what I'm going to do, but I don't know what I'm going to do, but I don't
00:17:35know what I'm going to do.
00:17:43Oh, oh, oh, oh, okay, maintain control, oh, oh, oh, that's cold, that's cold.
00:18:06Ow, sorry.
00:18:09I didn't see you.
00:18:10It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:15Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancée.
00:18:20Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:23Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:36Tell me, dear, how did you meet Adrienne?
00:18:42Through mutual friends.
00:18:43Really?
00:18:45Mutual friends.
00:18:48Pray tell, what mutual friend would Adrienne possibly have in your social circle?
00:18:55Unless, of course, it was a business arrangement.
00:18:59I'm sorry?
00:19:04A girl in your position surely would have negotiated.
00:19:11The only negotiations was whether I'd take his last name or keep mine.
00:19:15Well, then, next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:21You, as Adrienne's fiancée, would be expected to attend.
00:19:27I'd be honored.
00:19:28Wonderful.
00:19:30I'm sure you can find something suitable to wear.
00:19:38Helen, make sure to take good care of your mistress.
00:19:53Excuse me, Miss Reed.
00:19:55Need to clean.
00:19:56Oh, of course.
00:19:57Let me just get my stuff out of your way.
00:20:02Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:08How creative.
00:20:10It must be harder than your family watching you change a rich man.
00:20:14As a maid, maybe you should just focus on your own job.
00:20:16My business is none of your concern.
00:20:22Oh, how a plant told me.
00:20:27Stop it!
00:20:29Oh, really, I think the name is you could just marry a rich man.
00:20:32You're just trash trying to climb a social ladder.
00:20:36Hey!
00:20:37Mr. Crawford!
00:20:40She was trying to attack me.
00:20:44I'm just trying to help.
00:20:47Get out.
00:20:47I'm sorry.
00:20:48I can't explain.
00:20:49One more word and you're fired.
00:20:50Get out.
00:20:55What happened?
00:20:56Nothing.
00:20:58I just...
00:21:00I need some space.
00:21:03I'll stay in the guest room tonight.
00:21:04Lali, you don't have to.
00:21:05Please.
00:21:08I need some time alone.
00:21:09No, you stay.
00:21:11I'll sleep on the song.
00:21:20I miss her so much, daddy.
00:21:23Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:25As long as we can get you better,
00:21:28I will if they weren't to get to me.
00:21:30I promise.
00:21:38Lali, what happened?
00:21:42What should I do?
00:21:55How's the happy couple today?
00:22:04This is awkward.
00:22:14No worries.
00:22:15It's just a small pinch.
00:22:16That is not small.
00:22:23It's okay.
00:22:24Over here.
00:22:25Here's that.
00:22:32It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:44Mr. Crawford,
00:22:45it is your time for the sperm collection.
00:22:47Okay.
00:22:48How do we do this water equipment?
00:22:49Do we need?
00:22:50No need.
00:22:51Just head to the collection room
00:22:52and use your hand.
00:22:54Okay.
00:23:16And pretend she's not right out that door.
00:23:22Mr. Crawford,
00:23:22are you all right in there?
00:23:27I'm fine.
00:23:28I just, uh,
00:23:30need some assistance.
00:23:33Oh, do you need help?
00:23:35What?
00:23:35No, wait.
00:23:35I didn't mean...
00:23:36Are you sure?
00:23:37I can come in there.
00:23:46Okay.
00:23:47Come in.
00:24:01Do you want to help?
00:24:02Yeah, what can I...
00:24:05Oh, my God.
00:24:07You saw...
00:24:08No, no, I didn't.
00:24:10Um, I didn't.
00:24:11All right.
00:24:12Um, I'm...
00:24:14I'm...
00:24:15I'm going to go.
00:24:16I'm going to go.
00:24:17I'm going to go so far away.
00:24:20Helpful.
00:24:35Are you okay?
00:24:37Dr. Anderson said the hormone chops might hurt a little, but...
00:24:40You're in pain.
00:24:41It's just some discomfort.
00:24:42It'll pass.
00:24:43I'll be okay.
00:24:50Here, this should help.
00:25:09Um, well, the hormone shots were part of the agreement.
00:25:13So any resulting discomfort is technically a work-related issue.
00:25:17And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:26:26Adrian, wait. About this weekend.
00:26:28Sorry, emergency in Atlanta. The merger's falling apart.
00:26:31But...
00:26:31Thompson, have the jet ready in 20.
00:26:33Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:35Now, you know what?
00:26:37I can do it myself.
00:26:41I don't suppose that we could expect punctuality from someone who has never owned a watch in
00:26:48her entire life.
00:26:51I introduced him to the...
00:26:53Thompson Arons.
00:26:55Senator's daughter.
00:26:56I don't know why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:27:01Ethan, what did you say that she does? A fashion designer?
00:27:06Worse.
00:27:08A seamstress.
00:27:10She probably thinks having the proper family do her name will raise her to the top and
00:27:14then she can have her own fashion show.
00:27:16She's poor. Fine.
00:27:19But no sense of time either.
00:27:22I need to have a serious talk with Adrian.
00:27:24Probably just digging for a wardrobe. Can't find something to wear.
00:27:28A fashion designer scrounging around for an outfit. How ironic.
00:27:33Maybe her designs are just too embarrassing to be seen in public.
00:27:37Okay.
00:27:38But seriously.
00:27:40I mean, I do pity her, right?
00:27:43Her worthless clothing in our beautiful home.
00:27:46I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:51Go get her now.
00:27:57And I lay down with everything.
00:28:02Every part of me.
00:28:06I'm gone.
00:28:12To everything.
00:28:14Apologies for the delay.
00:28:24My, my, my.
00:28:26I'm trying hard to get the part.
00:28:30James, make sure none of the silver is missing after dinner.
00:28:37At least we know that Adrian's credit card is being put to good use.
00:28:45Although money can buy you designer clothing, it can't buy you a good upbringing.
00:28:52Actually, I made the dress myself.
00:28:53The little seamstress that you are.
00:28:56How quaint.
00:28:58At least we know who will be darning.
00:29:01Adrian sucks.
00:29:05You know, I wasn't brought up into wealth, but I was raised to something far more valuable.
00:29:10Integrity.
00:29:12Integrity.
00:29:13Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:29:22How much?
00:29:24How much would it take for you to disappear?
00:29:28Name your price.
00:29:29Mr. Crawford, I believe that's the difference between you and me.
00:29:32I don't think everything can be bought from me.
00:29:37Excuse me.
00:29:49Stay calm.
00:29:51You got this.
00:29:53I'll dress up for me, baby.
00:30:01I need to get back to dinner.
00:30:02What's the rush?
00:30:03We're all family here.
00:30:07Almost family.
00:30:08Don't touch me.
00:30:10You used to like it when I touched you.
00:30:12Remember how shy you were?
00:30:13Always saying no.
00:30:14Let go of me, you creep.
00:30:16Right?
00:30:17Careful now.
00:30:18One scream and everyone at dinner will find out what kind of a girl you really are.
00:30:21And her love history.
00:30:22Oh, come on.
00:30:27Stop it.
00:30:34Stop it.
00:30:35Is everything okay?
00:30:37You look a bit flustered.
00:30:40As I was thinking about the world's adventure.
00:30:46Stop it.
00:30:48Something wrong with me, for you?
00:30:59No manners.
00:31:00No class.
00:31:02I don't know how you managed to seduce my son.
00:31:04Someone like you never deserve a place in this family.
00:31:09I'm the one that told her to stay here and be with me.
00:31:19Adrian.
00:31:20If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:31:25You want to know how we met?
00:31:27She crashed into my life.
00:31:29Quite literally.
00:31:30She's brave.
00:31:32It's just a love letter in her hand.
00:31:33She confessed to me right there at the hospital.
00:31:36She's not into money.
00:31:38Even if someone dropped a million dollars at her feet, she wouldn't have been sick.
00:31:42For carrying my child.
00:31:44I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:31:48Not somebody else's.
00:31:50And she's tough.
00:31:51Even after everything you did to humiliate her, she didn't walk away in anger.
00:31:56And she's still here.
00:31:57I thought you were supposed to be in Atlanta.
00:31:59How did you...
00:32:02Sir, two things.
00:32:04First, your mother's invited Mrs. Crawford to the family dinner.
00:32:06Second, the daddy's ready.
00:32:08We can go now.
00:32:12Cancel Atlanta.
00:32:14But, but, but, sir, the...
00:32:17Murder.
00:32:18Yes, sir.
00:32:19Yes, sir.
00:32:32What a touching story, Uncle.
00:32:35Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:32:40What are you talking about?
00:32:42We've been dating for three years.
00:32:45See?
00:32:46See?
00:32:55So, clearly she planned all this.
00:32:57Dated me first to get to know the family.
00:33:00And now, well, set her sights higher.
00:33:03Manipulative little...
00:33:04Face it, Uncle.
00:33:05You're just another step on her ladder to the top.
00:33:08Who knows how many men she's slept with already, right?
00:33:13You're right.
00:33:15We did date for three years, but you were cheating on me for two of them.
00:33:22What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:25Nudes?
00:33:28What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:30Nudes?
00:33:31Or do you record videos?
00:33:38That was for every lie you just told me.
00:33:40You, Lila!
00:33:43How dare you, Adrian, hit my son!
00:33:49Lila!
00:33:52Where do you think you're going?
00:33:53We're not finished yet.
00:33:57Yes, we are.
00:34:02I'm sorry.
00:34:03I should have never left you alone with my family.
00:34:05It's okay.
00:34:08Thank you for coming back.
00:34:10And for all the kind lies you said about us.
00:34:15What happened to your hands?
00:34:17Oh, I was fixing the hemline, and I can get kind of clumsy with the needles.
00:34:21Lila, sit down.
00:34:23Let me have a look at that.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:28Sit down.
00:34:29Let me have a look at that.
00:34:30Okay.
00:34:33As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:37I expect you to use them.
00:34:40I didn't want to assume.
00:34:44You're a Crawford now.
00:34:48Good, Mike.
00:35:01Dr. Anderson.
00:35:03Mr. Crawford, the psychos are ready.
00:35:06We can proceed with the implementation tomorrow morning.
00:35:08I see.
00:35:10What is it?
00:35:11Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:12That's what I've been thinking.
00:35:14Perhaps we could approach this in a more natural manner.
00:35:20That's how it's been gone.
00:35:27So, what do you think?
00:35:35We should probably have to get some sleep.
00:35:37You know, the procedure.
00:35:40Oh.
00:35:41Good night, Mr. Crawford.
00:35:55You don't need to be so nervous.
00:35:56Mrs. Crawford, try to relax.
00:35:59Can I open up the window?
00:36:01It might feel a bit cold.
00:36:04You cold?
00:36:09That white little spot.
00:36:11Yeah?
00:36:12That's our baby.
00:36:15Really?
00:36:24I can't walk, you know.
00:36:26The doctor said to stay off your feet.
00:36:28Complete rest.
00:36:29You seem more nervous than I am.
00:36:30Hey, I'm just following a medical protocol.
00:36:47Ethan, in order to claim your inheritance, you have to find a way to break them up, no matter what
00:36:54it takes.
00:36:56Maybe finding a chance to get her back into my arms is the best way.
00:37:13Oh.
00:37:14Oh.
00:37:17Oh.
00:37:18Oh.
00:37:20Oh.
00:37:20Oh.
00:37:22Oh.
00:37:22Oh.
00:37:31Adrian?
00:37:32Not quite.
00:37:33You want my help?
00:37:35Let go of me.
00:37:37You used to like being in my arms.
00:37:39Remember all those late nights together?
00:37:41Did she?
00:37:49Remember all those late nights together?
00:37:52Did she?
00:38:01I was just getting some food.
00:38:04Get out.
00:38:07Adrian?
00:38:10Mama.
00:38:12What's wrong?
00:38:12My stomach.
00:38:15If anything, anything happens to me, Fionki, or our unborn child, you will pay.
00:38:29You've been cheating all along.
00:38:32A few weeks with my uncle and you're carrying his child.
00:38:35You want a perfect little family?
00:38:37It is not going to happen.
00:38:49Thompson, cancel all my plans.
00:38:52Everything for the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:54Sir?
00:38:54What happened?
00:38:56You need my help?
00:38:56You can't help me on this.
00:38:58Just do as I say.
00:39:01You and Ethan, you've never gotten along, have you?
00:39:06Why?
00:39:07You seem to care a lot about him.
00:39:09No, it's not like that.
00:39:12Just get some rest.
00:39:13You had a rough day.
00:39:15Why did you choose to believe me about Ethan?
00:39:18Just...
00:39:19Just...
00:39:20I know you're not like that.
00:39:24Just get some rest.
00:39:26Make yourself a home.
00:39:28Anything you need, anything you want, I'll be around.
00:39:30Whatever I want?
00:39:49What in the...
00:39:50What are you doing?
00:39:53This is junk food.
00:39:55Like, these have zero nutritional value.
00:39:58You can take those.
00:40:00The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:02The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:04And chips.
00:40:06And chips.
00:40:07And ice cream.
00:40:08You wouldn't deny anyone, Jack.
00:40:10I've been doing research into optimal pregnancy nutrition, okay?
00:40:14Week by week, what you should be having every day.
00:40:17I've got a meal plan, breakfast, lunch.
00:40:19How about a compliment?
00:40:22One treat per day.
00:40:24Half a treat.
00:40:25Three quarters?
00:40:27Three quarters?
00:40:30Four quarters?
00:40:31Three quarters?
00:40:32Four quarters?

00:45:15You can save her from the pains of childbirth.
00:45:21Yeah.
00:45:23They've been real happy ever since she got back.
00:45:29Get it now, don't you?
00:45:31He's just using you to have a baby so that she doesn't have to.
00:45:35You're so naive.
00:45:40So I'm just a tool to have a baby?
00:45:49I don't want my fiancée thinking there's anything between them.
00:46:07What do you think you're doing?
00:46:09You're pregnant.
00:46:10Why are you drinking?
00:46:11Why do you care?
00:46:14It's soda, okay?
00:46:15I know what I'm doing.
00:46:24What happened back there?
00:46:26Talk to me.
00:46:28Lila, I'm worried.
00:46:30What, so you'll talk to Ethan but not me?
00:46:33When you were having such a lovely chat with your girlfriend back there, did you even notice I was there?
00:46:43Lila, I'm worried about you.
00:46:46Worried about me or worried about your baby?
00:46:52Worried about me or worried about your baby?
00:46:54What's that supposed to mean, babe?
00:46:56You know, I thought why you'd been so nice to me.
00:46:58All of a sudden, giving me snacks and being protected.
00:47:00What, because I'm carrying your child?
00:47:02Lila, why are you acting so weird since yesterday?
00:47:04Did you date Vivian?
00:47:06Yes.
00:47:07And now she wants to get back together with you?
00:47:09Yes.
00:47:09So what, am I just some replacement for her?
00:47:11Is that why you were looking for a surrogate?
00:47:13Yes, I wanted a surrogate, but it wasn't for Vivian.
00:47:16It was...
00:47:16No, you know what, I get it.
00:47:18I get it.
00:47:18Follow the contract, have your baby.
00:47:25Thompson.
00:47:26Sir, sorry to bother you at night.
00:47:28The Singapore merger is falling apart.
00:47:29We need you here immediately.
00:47:31I'm in the middle of something.
00:47:32I can't...
00:47:33The board is threatening to pull out.
00:47:38Okay, I'll be there.
00:47:43Lila, we need to talk about this as soon as I get back.
00:47:47Sure.
00:47:48Business first.
00:47:55Sir, there have been some complications.
00:47:57Explain.
00:47:58Well, during your absence, Ethan has been meeting with board members.
00:48:00It's a question that your sudden marriage plans may indicate that you're unstable to run the company.
00:48:04Sir, several executives are questioning if somebody so personally invested could run the company.
00:48:21Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing...
00:48:23My personal life?
00:48:25Your sudden absence is...
00:48:26Let me be very clear about something.
00:48:29This company had a 40% profit loss before I took over.
00:48:34Within three years, I tripled our market share.
00:48:37Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge, my strategies, my execution.
00:48:49So yes, I'm getting married.
00:48:52And yes, I took some time off.
00:48:54But no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:49:01Because without me, there wouldn't even be a company to an heir.
00:49:07So now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:49:30Get out.
00:49:31Lila, there's nothing between me and Vivian.
00:49:34The surrogacy is not for her.
00:49:36I know what I saw.
00:49:38Just get out.
00:49:39Just get out.
00:50:05Adrian!
00:50:08What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:12Of doing my job.
00:50:13Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:50:16Ever since she came into your life,
00:50:19you've been ruining,
00:50:20you've been undermining everything that we built.
00:50:23Leave Rila out of this.
00:50:24I don't need to stand here and listen to you.
00:50:26Oh, run along.
00:50:28The adults are talking business now.
00:50:31Don't worry, dear.
00:50:32We just need to borrow him for a moment.
00:50:35Business matters.
00:50:36Who wouldn't understand?
00:50:40She's nothing but a brute mare.
00:50:43Once she delivers,
00:50:44you pay her off and you'll be done with it.
00:50:47Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:50:50Someone like me.
00:50:56Vivian joins Crowfoot Industries tomorrow.
00:50:59Non-negotiable.
00:51:02You'll be with you every day.
00:51:04Just like before.
00:51:05And your little pet project.
00:51:07She can stay at home with Jess's sake.
00:51:09That's all she's good for.
00:51:12Get out!
00:51:14Both of you!
00:51:15Dare you!
00:51:16If you ever speak about my wife like that again,
00:51:19I swear I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground
00:51:22before I let either of you touch it.
00:51:26Adrian, be reasonable.
00:51:29She's worth a thousand up here.
00:51:32Tomorrow, 9am.
00:51:35Vivian starts.
00:51:36No discussion.
00:51:38Is that all?
00:51:39For now, don't disappoint me again.
00:51:55Stop it! Stop checking!
00:51:56I... I was independent before him.
00:51:58I didn't need someone to...
00:52:01create a meal plan for me or...
00:52:03hold me while I sleep.
00:52:07No.
00:52:09I'm not gonna be that girl.
00:52:15I can work on my own.
00:52:18You know, I don't need his...
00:52:21arrangements or his...
00:52:23dental care.
00:52:25Just a tool for a baby.
00:52:26Ah!
00:52:35So Lila and Adrian's relationship is on the rocks.
00:52:39Well, if it isn't the perfect opportunity to gain her trust
00:52:42and trick her back to me.
00:52:44Lila!
00:52:46I'm fine.
00:52:47You're not fine.
00:52:48Hospital.
00:52:50Now.
00:52:51Put me down!
00:52:52Put me down!
00:52:59Thank you...
00:53:00for bringing me here.
00:53:01I know we've had our...
00:53:03differences.
00:53:05I'm like...
00:53:06Now you used to look at me like this.
00:53:09So sweet and sincere.
00:53:11No.
00:53:12Why not?
00:53:13You're telling me there's really nothing still between us.
00:53:17Ethan...
00:53:18He's using you, Lila.
00:53:19Yeah, I know I've messed up, but...
00:53:21seeing the way he treats you, it's tearing me apart.
00:53:28Ethan, you...
00:53:31Adrian, stop!
00:53:32What are you doing?
00:53:32I'm protecting you!
00:53:34Ethan, help me!
00:53:35He found me bleeding and brought me here.
00:53:37Now you're defending him?
00:53:38I'm defending the truth.
00:53:40Sometimes people surprise you.
00:53:43I see.
00:53:45Adrian...
00:53:46I'll get the doctor.
00:53:49Adrian...
00:53:53I want full blood work, fetal monitoring, and get the OBGYN down here.
00:53:59Sir, it's just a minor cough.
00:54:02I want to get a complete prenatal check-up.
00:54:05I've already called Dr. Reynolds, she'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:54:08So bossy.
00:54:10No, some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:54:14Remember those beach dates we used to have?
00:54:16Ah, you said I was the best.
00:54:21Thompson, call in the catering.
00:54:24Yeah, they're one of the questions.
00:54:26Lila's been craving, sir.
00:54:29You need a fatty cut.
00:54:31No, what's up?
00:54:31I didn't say those.
00:54:33Please.
00:54:34The prenatal vitamins I researched should arrive shortly.
00:54:37They're custom formulated for Lila flood type and genetic makeup.
00:54:46Everything's already being taken care of.
00:54:48You can defend him.
00:54:50If he touches you, Reagan.
00:54:53I'll be there.
00:54:56I didn't mean to.
00:54:57Hello?
00:55:05Vivian was sick.
00:55:06I gave her a key and let her rest at our place.
00:55:10Overworked, they say.
00:55:12I'm cleaning up your company's mess.
00:55:14I have meetings.
00:55:17Well, cancel them.
00:55:19You're going to take care of her now.
00:55:21No negotiation.
00:55:23Well, either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you,
00:55:27or I'll call an emergency board meeting.
00:55:35You can skip the performance, Vivian.
00:55:39It's still so cold.
00:55:41Remember the first time you bought me flowers?
00:55:44Yeah, that was a long time ago.
00:55:48Adrian, we could be that again.
00:55:53Whatever game you're playing here, it won't work.
00:55:59Get out.
00:56:01I want my fiance seeing you.
00:56:05Maybe I was wrong.
00:56:07I should have trusted him.
00:56:08I should have given him a chance to explain.
00:56:14Because some things never change.
00:56:32Lila.
00:56:33Hi, Dad.
00:56:40Your hand.
00:56:41It's nothing.
00:56:44Dad, I have something I want to tell you.
00:56:49I'm having a baby.
00:56:51You're going to be a grandpa.
00:56:53Is that one of Ethan's boys?
00:56:55No, not him.
00:56:57Then who?
00:56:59It doesn't matter.
00:57:00Dad, look.
00:57:01What really matters is that this is my baby.
00:57:05And I am going to love them just like you love me.
00:57:10Oh, sweetheart.
00:57:11I'm so sorry.
00:57:13I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you.
00:57:15If I was healthier, if I could work...
00:57:18Dad, it's okay.
00:57:19The hospital bills.
00:57:21Where are you going to get the money from?
00:57:23How are you going to pay for them?
00:57:27Please tell me you didn't sell yourself to someone.
00:57:30No, Dad, it isn't like that.
00:57:31Did someone take advantage of you?
00:57:34My little girl.
00:57:36Pregnant and alone.
00:57:38She's not alone.
00:57:44Adrian.
00:57:45Mr. Reid.
00:57:46I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:57:49I'm the father of the child.
00:57:51Not just the father.
00:57:53I'm the man who's going to spend the rest of his life making sure that your daughter and our child
00:57:58have everything they deserve.
00:58:00Pretty words from a rich man.
00:58:03Not words.
00:58:05Facts.
00:58:06I've already arranged for you to be transferred to a private medical facility.
00:58:10Full treatment plan.
00:58:11The very best specialists.
00:58:13Adrian.
00:58:14And I promise you this.
00:58:16Every morning.
00:58:18Your daughter will wake up knowing that she's cherished.
00:58:21Every decision I make.
00:58:23Every step I take.
00:58:25Will be to ensure her happiness.
00:58:28You really mean that, don't you?
00:58:31Yes, I do.
00:58:35Well, maybe I don't have to worry so much anymore.
00:58:46Saying all that, I know you were just trying to make my dad feel better, but...
00:58:49I wasn't just trying to do anything.
00:58:53Everything I said was true.
00:58:56I thought you were just worried about me breaking the contract.
00:59:00Eileen, you have to understand something.
00:59:03I have been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
00:59:11Yes, we had a contract.
00:59:14But I realized you've become everything to me.
00:59:17Not my surrogate.
00:59:20Not my pretend fiance.
00:59:24If you're willing, would you like to forget the contract and become my real wife?
00:59:42Did she come and see you?
00:59:44Did she hurt you?
00:59:46No.
00:59:48Just...
00:59:49Was it she your true love? I saw you taking care of her.
00:59:52What?
00:59:53I have nothing to do with her anymore.
00:59:56Yes, my father asked her over, but I kicked her out.
00:59:59I haven't had feelings for her since we broke up.
01:00:02Really?
01:00:11I'm not letting you go.
01:00:14Not ever.
01:00:15I think we're past trying to hide who we are.
01:00:22Surrogacy?
01:00:24Contract marriage?
01:00:27No, this is perfect.
01:00:32What was so urgent?
01:00:33I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you.
01:00:37If this is about Lila and my uncle...
01:00:39It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:00:42Your perfect uncle?
01:00:44He hired her.
01:00:46She's just a surrogate.
01:00:47The whole engagement is a lie.
01:00:50A contract?
01:00:54Oh, the board would love to hear about this.
01:00:58Next week's family meeting...
01:01:00We reveal everything.
01:01:03Until then...
01:01:04We need to find some evidence.
01:01:07And once he's ruined...
01:01:09I'll comfort him.
01:01:11Help him rebuild, of course.
01:01:13Show him who really belongs by his side.
01:01:16And Lila?
01:01:18Once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:01:21You can have your little toy back.
01:01:35Thankfully, Mr. Crawford gave me the key.
01:01:53Surrogatic lament.
01:01:57Medical history.
01:01:59There must be some evidence somewhere.
01:02:05Adrian's always so organized.
01:02:08Where are the important documents?
01:02:22Adrian?
01:02:24Is that you?
01:02:31Shit.
01:02:36Vivian.
01:02:40Oh, Adrian!
01:02:42What are you doing here?
01:02:44I was just looking for you.
01:02:46You know, Adrian.
01:02:48If it's an heir you want...
01:02:50You can make one right now.
01:02:53Poor Lila doesn't have to know.
01:02:55She's already asleep.
01:02:58It'll be our little...
01:03:00Secret.
01:03:02Here.
01:03:04In the hallway.
01:03:05Wherever you want, darling.
01:03:08Someone sees us.
01:03:09Scared?
01:03:11I know someone.
01:03:13Private.
01:03:19Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:03:25Adrian?
01:03:27Adrian!
01:03:28Enjoy the storage closet!
01:03:31Adrian!
01:03:46How'd it go?
01:03:47Just drive.
01:03:49Guess as much.
01:03:51Don't worry.
01:03:51I've got a new plan now.
01:03:54Dr. Anderson will tell us if there's a surrogate involved.
01:04:00Everything looks perfect.
01:04:02The baby is developing perfectly.
01:04:04Really?
01:04:05Really!
01:04:05You have officially entered the stable station.
01:04:08As long as you are gentle, intimacy is perfectly safe.
01:04:13Oh.
01:04:15Listen to your buddies, and then...
01:04:18Thanks, Doc.
01:04:19Thanks.
01:04:29Mr. Anderson.
01:04:34Let's talk about the scene Sinclair's...
01:04:37arrangement.
01:04:38Was it a contract surrogacy?
01:04:41Mr. Herringham, I can't discuss patient information.
01:04:45I heard the hospital is opening up a new wing.
01:04:49It would be a shame if your name mysteriously disappeared from this.
01:04:55Weren't it?
01:04:59Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:02No.
01:05:13Oh, my God.
01:05:23Surrogacy!
01:05:24Surrogacy!
01:05:28Five generations.
01:05:30Four for dignity.
01:05:32All trash by Ed.
01:05:34Tabloid scandal.
01:05:36A surrogate!
01:05:38You used a surrogate to gain the inheritance?
01:05:42If that's what you wanted, Adrian, why didn't you just say it?
01:05:45Why drag the family's name through the mud?
01:05:48This isn't true.
01:05:50It's nothing but a malicious rumor.
01:05:53Don't believe everything you see in the news.
01:05:56Lila and I were in love.
01:06:00Lila and I were in love.
01:06:03Your lives stop here, uncle.
01:06:08Grandfather, the files.
01:06:11Proving their contract.
01:06:12Lila isn't his fiancee.
01:06:15She's just a surrogate who got hired to bear an heir.
01:06:20Medical files from Crawford Fertility Center.
01:06:24They show Miss Reed undergoing IVF treatment.
01:06:29And was generously compensated.
01:06:32A surrogate.
01:06:34How vulgar.
01:06:36You dare deceive me with this, Mel?
01:06:39Dragging the 12-foot name through the mud?
01:06:42I'll deal with it.
01:06:44Alright.
01:06:45How?
01:06:46God knows what else you've schemed.
01:06:49Actually, I might have a solution.
01:06:53Replace Adrian's fiancee with me.
01:06:56Let Lila take the fall in the media.
01:06:59She's just a desperate gold digger who wants his barren heir.
01:07:03Just so she can become queen.
01:07:06I'll tell you now.
01:07:11Fine.
01:07:13Marry Vivian now.
01:07:15Or you give up your shares and get up.
01:07:18Adrian, I always get the move you want.
01:07:25Now that he does this, he could still get inheritance.
01:07:28No rush.
01:07:30Let's get them into trouble.
01:07:32He's fought too hard to lose everything now.
01:07:36I don't know if he does this, he could still get inheritance.
01:07:36He'll do it.
01:07:39I'll give it all up.
01:07:41The company.
01:07:43My inheritance.
01:07:46Everything.
01:07:48But not Lila.
01:07:50Not my wife.
01:07:52The only woman I've ever loved.
01:07:55And we're getting married.
01:07:57Officially.
01:07:59Publicly.
01:08:09Fine.
01:08:10You want to give up everything for her.
01:08:13Give up your inheritance.
01:08:15Everything goes to Eden.
01:08:18Adrian.
01:08:19You're giving up your inheritance just for her?
01:08:23Are you insane?
01:08:24I would never choose anything over my wife.
01:08:27Not ever.
01:08:29And I would never choose you.
01:08:31You'll regret this.
01:08:36Go on.
01:08:38Sign this.
01:08:39Walk away from your legacy.
01:08:42So you've had this planned all along?
01:08:50Adrian, wait.
01:08:54I'm not worth giving up your future.
01:08:57You are my future.
01:09:00You might everything.
01:09:01You were natural.
01:09:04You were natural.
01:09:16Let's go.
01:09:27Adrian.
01:09:29Hey, what's wrong?
01:09:31Don't tell me you only love me for my CEO status in your mommy.
01:09:34No.
01:09:35I can make more money.
01:09:37You know, I'm kind of excited to be your sugar mommy.
01:09:40I've always wanted a sugar mommy.
01:09:43Wait.
01:09:44Yeah, I was gonna grab somebody from the car.
01:09:56What are you doing here?
01:09:58Why?
01:09:59What does she have that I don't?
01:10:01Why do you always choose her?
01:10:04It's simple.
01:10:05I love her.
01:10:07Not you.
01:10:08Adrian, please.
01:10:09Please.
01:10:10I was wrong.
01:10:11Please.
01:10:12Slow your cooking.
01:10:16I'm coming.
01:10:17No.
01:10:23I don't know what you are.
01:10:27I'm coming.
01:10:30Yeah.
01:10:31I can.
01:10:32I'm coming.
01:10:32Oh, you're going.
01:10:37I'm coming.
01:10:38Through the house.
01:10:39It's totally off.
01:10:42Hey.
01:10:44Hi.
01:10:46Beautiful.
01:10:51Yeah, it is.
01:11:00Laila, were you?
01:11:03Yes, of course.
01:11:15When did you get this?
01:11:17Back when I realized I'd give up everything for you.
01:11:37How's it going?
01:11:39Good.
01:11:39Just finished my last sketch.
01:11:42I didn't hear a sugar mommy just landed another big deal.
01:11:51Yeah?
01:11:52Adrian, come back to the Crawford family.
01:11:55Come back to your position and your inheritance.
01:12:04What do you mean you're canceling the contract?
01:12:07We've been partners for ten years.
01:12:13Grandfather, no.
01:12:14Please don't call Adrian.
01:12:18So you want me to come back?
01:12:21I have to ask my wife.
01:12:24What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:12:31First order of business today.
01:12:34What is this?
01:12:36Starting without me.
01:12:37Perfect timing.
01:12:38I was just announcing your termination.
01:12:42The company crisis last month turns out wasn't an accident.
01:12:47Ethan deliberately sabotaged every deal.
01:12:50There's no proof.
01:12:51You misappropriated partnership funds to indulge in your own personal affairs.
01:12:56Bad investments, shady deals, and reckless spending have led us to financial setbacks and operational setbacks.
01:13:06And it's all documented right here.
01:13:10The lawsuit's already been filed.
01:13:13What?
01:13:14You actually did this?
01:13:16No, Grandpa.
01:13:18He's lying.
01:13:19It's all a lie.
01:13:21Dad.
01:13:23Either you let me handle this my way, or I can still walk.
01:13:31Adrian.
01:13:37Mr. Crawford, the vote for new director.
01:13:44Competence is everything.
01:13:47I'm getting old, and from now on, Adrian will handle everything.
01:13:54No.
01:13:55Don't listen to him.
01:13:56Don't listen to him.
01:13:57Please.
01:13:58You're making a mistake.
01:13:59Where are you going?
01:14:03My company, you hear that?
01:14:04My fucking company.
01:14:06Come back.
01:14:11The baby's asleep.
01:14:14I guess that means I get you all to myself.
01:14:18Don't distract me.
01:14:19I'm almost finished.
01:14:21I'm designing my wedding dress.
01:14:24Incredible.
01:14:26I might hire you to design my tux.
01:14:30You know, I think I'm going to have to check my schedule.
01:14:34Oh, it's like that.
01:14:37I still can't believe we're getting married.
01:14:41Ever since you crashed into me at the hospital, I haven't been able to get you out of my head.
01:14:45And soon I'll be able to love you openly.
01:14:48And officially, for the rest of my life.
01:14:52Uh, practicing your vats?
01:14:54Yeah.
01:14:58Can we practice the kiss as well?
01:15:00If you have to.
01:15:15Your father said, no fiancé by Christmas.
01:15:18No inheritance.
01:15:19Do you really want to give all that up?
01:15:27Everybody?
01:15:28This is my new girlfriend.
01:15:31You didn't tell me your parents were this rich.
01:15:35I brought you all a basket from the Miller farm.
01:15:37The bottom is the difference.
