00:00:00Billionaire from Montgomery Enterprises, Aston Montgomery, who is known for his
00:00:05corporate ruthlessness. Stella Evans, you didn't even graduate from college?
00:00:14Mr. Montgomery, it's your love child. You said there'd be no more scandals. No,
00:00:20father, there are no scandals. Me, my fiancee, and the mother of my child, until my
00:00:25father signs the company over to me, then I will pay you five million dollars.
00:00:29Fine, but only because my rent's already overdue.
00:00:32It's hard to believe you had a baby less than a year ago.
00:00:36The Montgomerys don't associate with peasants.
00:00:39Touch my wife again, I will end you.
00:00:41No, my baby!
00:00:42Maybe Michael Aston won't be so bad after all.
00:00:46I would do anything for you, anything for our family.
00:00:49Aston isn't the man you think he is, whatever feelings you think he may have.
00:00:54I love you, Stella Evans.
00:00:56It's all just one big lie.
00:00:59I have meant every word I have said to you.
00:01:03I'm in, Stella, I'm all in.
00:01:05Are you?
00:01:22You have to be prepared.
00:01:25I don't have mom.
00:01:29I'm not gonna let you die, mom.
00:01:32You're gonna beat this cancer.
00:01:41Danny, what are you doing?
00:01:44What does it look like I'm doing?
00:01:46Your rent's late.
00:01:47You're digging it.
00:01:52It's two days late.
00:01:54And you said it wouldn't be an issue.
00:01:57I changed my mind.
00:01:58So, unless you want to pay up with that tight little lot of yours.
00:02:03You're out by tomorrow morning.
00:02:07You've got to be kidding me.
00:02:08I have never been late before.
00:02:10And you know my mom's medical bills are insane.
00:02:13Oh.
00:02:15Dump me.
00:02:16You should have thought of that before dumping me.
00:02:21I'll get you the money.
00:02:23I have a job interview today.
00:02:24And the signing bonus will be more than enough to cover it.
00:02:27Just give me 24 hours.
00:02:32And you better get that job.
00:02:35Tick-tock cupcake.
00:02:50Billionaire financer Robert Montgomery has announced his retirement from Montgomery Enterprises this morning, the company he built five decades ago.
00:02:59His successor is presumed to be Aston Montgomery, his eldest son and heir, who is known not only for his
00:03:06Playboy ways, but his corporate ruthlessness.
00:03:10Stella Evans?
00:03:14Come with me.
00:03:25So, you don't have any corporate experience and you didn't even graduate from college?
00:03:31Well, something came up at home and I couldn't.
00:03:35I'm not running a charity, Ms. Evans.
00:03:37I'm sorry, but I can't hire you.
00:03:38Please.
00:03:40I really need the money.
00:03:44So do 400 other applicants.
00:03:46What makes you so special?
00:03:49I may not be... experienced, but I'm a quick learner.
00:03:54And I really need the money.
00:03:55And I need someone who already knows what they're doing.
00:03:58This interview is over.
00:04:03Hey, you can't just walk away from me, you entitled prick!
00:04:09What did you say to me?
00:04:10And you heard me just because you think you're better than everyone else-
00:04:20Shut up.
00:04:34What is that doing in my office?
00:04:40Can you see that?
00:04:48What is that doing in my office?
00:04:50Montgomery is your love child.
00:05:09I'm a father?
00:05:13What?
00:05:14What?
00:05:14What?
00:05:14What?
00:05:15What do I do?
00:05:16What do I do?
00:05:17You said you needed a job.
00:05:19Help me.
00:05:20Please!
00:05:20Oh yeah, I'm a kid.
00:05:26Here you go.
00:05:29Shh.
00:05:30It's okay.
00:05:40Perhaps I misjudged you.
00:05:47So the rumors are true.
00:05:49I'm a grandfather.
00:05:51No, father, this is not...
00:05:52The board will never let an irresponsible playboy lead the company.
00:05:57You said there'd be no more scandals.
00:06:00I have no choice but to turn the company over to your brother, Clive.
00:06:04No, father, there are no scandals.
00:06:09Father, this is Stella.
00:06:11My fiancé and the mother of my child.
00:06:15What the fuck?
00:06:23Excuse me?
00:06:24Do you expect me to believe this low-class woman is your fiancé?
00:06:29Do not speak about her that way.
00:06:30I love her.
00:06:33And I'm tired of hiding it.
00:06:36Right, honey?
00:06:39Please go with it.
00:06:43To yourself.
00:06:44Or what?
00:06:44Or you'll find out how much of a sweetheart I really am.
00:06:47You're really going to let your fiancé act like that?
00:06:49Oh yeah, I encourage it, actually.
00:06:51So unless you want to see what she's really made of, I suggest you back the fuck off.
00:06:56And one more thing.
00:06:58Touch my fiancé again, I'll break more than just your camera.
00:07:01Sir, sir, sir.
00:07:02Mr. Montgomery, can we answer our question, please?
00:07:04Mr. Montgomery, you cannot ignore us, Mr. Montgomery.
00:07:07Come on now, Mr. Montgomery.
00:07:07Sir, what do you have to say?
00:07:23This place is beautiful.
00:07:27So what do we do now?
00:07:30Simple.
00:07:31We do what fiancés do.
00:07:47Look at me.
00:08:01What the hell was that?
00:08:04This is part of the deal.
00:08:05All right, we have to sell it.
00:08:07I have someone looking into where Emma came from.
00:08:10They should all be sorted out soon.
00:08:11What will be sorted, brother?
00:08:15Clive?
00:08:16Welcome home.
00:08:18This fiancé and baby certainly came out of nowhere, didn't they?
00:08:21What are you doing here, Clive?
00:08:23I came to meet my niece and soon-to-be sister-in-law, you know, since it all happened so
00:08:29fast.
00:08:34Stella Evans, is it?
00:08:37And what trash barrel did you crawl out of?
00:08:42The trash barrel I crawled out of is none of your business.
00:08:46Au contraire, mon chéri.
00:08:48It's most definitely my business.
00:08:51The Montgomerys don't associate with peasants.
00:08:54Bad for business.
00:08:56Leap or Omoe?
00:08:57Or what?
00:08:59Care to find out?
00:09:04Care to find out?
00:09:07So, my playboy brother does have feelings.
00:09:10And for a low-class gold digger, no less.
00:09:15Be careful.
00:09:16It's only a matter of time before he dumps you
00:09:19and that baby back into the gutter where you came from.
00:09:27She's cute.
00:09:32Looks just like you, brother.
00:09:49Get away from our baby and get out of our house!
00:09:51Fine.
00:09:53But there's something weird going on here.
00:09:55And I'll find out what it is.
00:09:56The CEO position will be mine.
00:09:59And the first thing I'll do is fire you, brother.
00:10:15Is everyone in your family like that?
00:10:18My half-brother is just the tip of the iceberg.
00:10:21So keep your guard up.
00:10:26I have a few things I have to do.
00:10:29Your room is upstairs.
00:10:34What have I gotten myself into?
00:10:37At least I'll be able to take care of my mom when this is all over.
00:10:40If there's anything you need while I'm gone, just call.
00:10:43But the nurse will take care of you.
00:10:45How did you get the money for a nurse?
00:10:47It's so expensive.
00:10:49I...
00:10:51I got a job.
00:10:52Don't worry about me.
00:10:56I got to go.
00:10:58I'll see you soon.
00:11:03Oh!
00:11:10Oh!
00:11:11Hot.
00:11:17See something you like?
00:11:23I...
00:11:25Miss Evans?
00:11:28Everything okay?
00:11:32Emma needs us.
00:11:35Right behind you.
00:11:44What's wrong with her?
00:11:46Hey, baby.
00:11:48Hey.
00:11:50Shh.
00:11:50There you go.
00:11:52Good job, baby girl.
00:11:54How did you do that?
00:11:56I just wanted to be held.
00:11:58You should hold her.
00:11:59Oh, I don't know about that.
00:12:00She's your daughter.
00:12:03She probably wants you more than anyone else.
00:12:07Trust me.
00:12:08I wish my dad was around.
00:12:10I've never held a baby before, and she's so little, I don't want to hurt her.
00:12:16Aston.
00:12:17She's yours.
00:12:19You can't be scared of her forever.
00:12:25Um.
00:12:28Hey.
00:12:29Emma?
00:12:30Um.
00:12:30I'm...
00:12:32I'm your daddy.
00:12:39See?
00:12:41That wasn't so bad.
00:12:43Hot.
00:12:45Okay.
00:12:48Good night, Emma.
00:13:03It's the private investigator.
00:13:05The sooner I find out who Emma's mom is, the better.
00:13:25Did the private chef make all this?
00:13:28Did the private chef make all this?
00:13:28No.
00:13:29I did.
00:13:33A playboy billionaire who cooks.
00:13:36Maybe I misjudged you.
00:13:38Not such a prick after all, huh?
00:13:41Maybe life with Aston won't be so bad after all.
00:13:47Uh, but back to business, um, my family is coming over for dinner tonight.
00:13:56They want to meet you.
00:13:57You're family.
00:13:59Aston, I can't...
00:14:00Oh, you can.
00:14:02I can.
00:14:02And you will.
00:14:11This is part of the deal.
00:14:13If you want the money, everyone has to believe that you're my fiancé and the mother of my child, starting
00:14:17with my family.
00:14:24Mom?
00:14:26Mom?
00:14:27Can you hear me?
00:14:29My mom's in trouble.
00:14:37Danny, what are you doing?
00:14:39I paid you!
00:14:41Well, I changed my mind when I heard you were shacking up with some billionaire.
00:14:46Fuck.
00:14:47Fuck.
00:14:48Fuck.
00:14:49Fuck.
00:15:09Knock it off!
00:15:10You know my mom needs that medicine.
00:15:12Well, now that you've come into some money, you can pay me more.
00:15:16Two years and I should do it.
00:15:17Fuck.
00:15:19She'll pay you what she owes you and not a cent more.
00:15:27This is your billionaire boyfriend?
00:15:31Actually, he's my fiancé.
00:15:33And he's rich.
00:15:35And powerful.
00:15:38He has a bigger dick than you.
00:15:45You really think you're good enough for him?
00:15:48I only fucked you because I felt sorry for you and your dying mind.
00:15:58Stella is more than good enough for me.
00:16:00If you touch her again, I will kill you.
00:16:02No.
00:16:05Aston, stop.
00:16:06He's not worth it.
00:16:10Stella?
00:16:12Mom!
00:16:14Mom!
00:16:16Hey, hey.
00:16:19Stella, he took my medicine.
00:16:23I have it right here, Mrs. Evans.
00:16:27That man would never bother you again.
00:16:30I will make sure of it.
00:16:34And I'm sending someone for your things.
00:16:36You're coming to live with us.
00:16:47For helping me with my mom.
00:16:50That wasn't part of the deal.
00:16:57Not everything I do has to be about our deal, Stella.
00:17:08Still...
00:17:11And I'm sorry for calling you a prick earlier.
00:17:13Why?
00:17:15I can be a prick.
00:17:17When I really want to be.
00:17:21Speaking of our deal.
00:17:23Be ready by 7pm for the family dinner.
00:17:27But...
00:17:27I have nothing to wear.
00:17:31I'll take care of that.
00:17:37you.
00:17:48cựuQ
00:18:05You're welcome.
00:18:09I hoped you'd pick the red. You look beautiful.
00:18:13Thank you. I'm still debating what shoes to wear though.
00:18:17Allow me.
00:18:50There's one thing missing.
00:18:57There's one thing missing.
00:19:03A ring.
00:19:07May I?
00:19:22Perfect fit.
00:19:28Astin, it's too much. I don't deserve this.
00:19:32No. Whoever told you this is more than you deserve is wrong.
00:19:38Because nothing is too much for my future wife.
00:19:41Even if it's only for appearances.
00:19:44You were made to wear it.
00:19:52Let's go.
00:19:54I want to show off my new fiance.
00:20:16You ready to sell this?
00:20:22Asked in a word.
00:20:27It'll take a moment.
00:20:30Go.
00:20:33I'll be fine.
00:20:59I'll be fine.
00:21:01Here's that you had a baby less than a year ago.
00:21:04Mother, be nice. I'm sure Stella's trying her best.
00:21:13Oh, I didn't know Astin had a sister.
00:21:18Sister?
00:21:19No.
00:21:21I'm Clarissa.
00:21:21Uh...
00:21:24Astin's ex-fiancé?
00:21:32Oh, God. Is she pregnant with Astin's baby?
00:21:39No wonder Astin didn't introduce you earlier.
00:21:42You're nothing like me.
00:21:44And thank God for that.
00:21:46Stella would never cheat on me and get knocked up by my brother.
00:21:49At least we didn't hide our child from the entire family.
00:21:52That's right. Where even is my step-grandbaby?
00:21:58You see, Robert, he's as negligent a father as he would be a CEO.
00:22:03She's with the nanny. To keep her from the judgment of people like you.
00:22:07All that matters is our judgment. And bringing in this peasant certainly doesn't help your case.
00:22:15Excuse me? Who are you calling peasant? Being rich doesn't mean you can walk all over me.
00:22:22How dare you talk back to me like that?
00:22:29You can't even control your worthless Beyoncé. You'll never be good enough to be CEO.
00:22:36Astin is the only person who should run Montgomery Enterprises. Anyone else's CEO would be a mistake.
00:22:43Especially your son.
00:22:53You have upset my fiancé and I won't stand for that.
00:22:56Dinner is cancelled. Get out of my house!
00:23:02Now.
00:23:20I'm sorry if I was out of line.
00:23:22No. Thank you for defending me. You didn't have to do that.
00:23:29Of course I did.
00:23:33I'm your fiancé.
00:23:39I never should have watched you do this.
00:23:43It's not fair to you.
00:23:46I'll pay you what I owe you. Just...
00:23:51Take the money and go, Stella.
00:23:53What's gonna happen to you and Emma?
00:23:55Don't worry about us.
00:23:56I do worry about you.
00:24:00I care about you both.
00:24:01I'm sorry, Stella, but...
00:24:04This contract between us is over.
00:24:06It's about to tell you just an hour...
00:24:09What contract?
00:24:17What contract?
00:24:23I told you what would happen if I caught you lying.
00:24:26We're not lying.
00:24:28Prove it.
00:24:30We were just talking about a prenup.
00:24:33Aston wants me to sign one.
00:24:35To protect your family.
00:24:37I think it's admirable.
00:24:42I see.
00:24:54You've saved me twice in the last 20 minutes.
00:24:56What?
00:25:00You are not what I expected.
00:25:03What did you expect?
00:25:07I don't know.
00:25:09Not you.
00:25:15Why are you looking at me like you want to kiss me?
00:25:18Because I do want to kiss you.
00:25:29That's all I've thought about since you put on that red dress.
00:25:36We probably shouldn't complicate this whole fake relationship thing.
00:25:41Especially since we're not actually getting married.
00:25:46You're right.
00:25:48We'll break off this engagement as soon as possible and we'll both get everything we want.
00:26:12I have some good news.
00:26:14You're getting married.
00:26:16Tomorrow.
00:26:18I have some good news.
00:26:24I have some good news.
00:26:26By this time tomorrow, you'll officially be husband and wife.
00:26:30Tomorrow?
00:26:33Unless there's some sort of problem with getting married tomorrow.
00:26:36It's just...
00:26:38We're not in a rush.
00:26:40But the board is.
00:26:42A child out of wedlock is a scandal.
00:26:46And one that must be remedied immediately.
00:26:51I hope that won't be a problem.
00:27:02Married?
00:27:03That wasn't part of the deal.
00:27:05I know.
00:27:08But would it be so bad being married to me?
00:27:14No.
00:27:16It's just...
00:27:18This isn't exactly how I pictured getting married.
00:27:30It takes some time to think about it.
00:27:34But I need an answer tonight.
00:27:46Mom.
00:27:48How did you know when you were ready to get married?
00:27:51I don't think anybody ever is ready, truly.
00:27:57I mean, your father and I certainly weren't.
00:28:00You weren't?
00:28:01No.
00:28:02We were young.
00:28:05Too young, even.
00:28:08But your father made me feel the way I'd never felt before.
00:28:13He made me feel loved.
00:28:15Valued.
00:28:18Whole.
00:28:33But...
00:28:35It didn't even work out.
00:28:36It ended before I was born.
00:28:40Just because something doesn't last, doesn't mean you can't enjoy it while you have it.
00:28:52Plus, your father gave me you.
00:28:56Which is more than enough.
00:28:59I can't deny it.
00:29:01I want to marry Aston.
00:29:02Even if it's temporary.
00:29:04He and Emma are my family.
00:29:07It would break my heart when it's all over.
00:29:19She just went down.
00:29:24Look, I know this isn't what you wanted.
00:29:27And...
00:29:28You deserve to marry someone who truly cares about you.
00:29:32So...
00:29:35If you want to walk away now, I...
00:29:37I won't blame you.
00:29:41So...
00:29:42Do you have an answer for me?
00:29:49So...
00:29:50Do you have an answer for me?
00:29:52I do.
00:29:56Aston, look at me.
00:30:00I never thought I would get married as part of a contract, but...
00:30:03I said I'd help you.
00:30:05And I'll keep my word.
00:30:10It means a lot to me.
00:30:16I have to say I'm surprised Aston is going through with this.
00:30:19I definitely thought that he would have dumped you by now.
00:30:22He probably will once he sees her in that rag.
00:30:26It was my mother's wedding dress.
00:30:28Of course it was.
00:30:30Only a poor person would wear something like that.
00:30:33I'm surprised your prince charming didn't buy you something better.
00:30:35He clearly doesn't care about you.
00:30:41It doesn't matter what you think.
00:30:43I know how Aston feels.
00:30:44Are you sure?
00:30:46If he really loved you, he would have given you his mother's ring.
00:31:10Is that what he gave you, Clarissa?
00:31:13No.
00:31:14But that's only because I wanted something bigger.
00:31:21From Mr. Montgomery.
00:31:23Boy's fiancé.
00:31:25Oh my god.
00:31:27It's gorgeous.
00:31:29That's the late Mrs. Montgomery's necklace.
00:31:33That's supposed to be mine.
00:31:35I am under strict orders to allow nobody but Ms. Evans near this necklace.
00:31:42Especially you.
00:31:43No.
00:32:02You look like the future, Mrs. Montgomery.
00:32:07I do.
00:32:09If only this were real.
00:32:26I know that you and Aston are lying about your relationship.
00:32:31So if you know what's best, you won't go through with this wedding.
00:32:36Aston isn't who you think he is.
00:32:49Aston isn't the man you think he is.
00:32:51Whatever money you think you might be getting.
00:32:55Whatever feelings you think he may have.
00:32:58It's all just one big lie.
00:33:00Your vision of the future is not the reality.
00:33:11Thank you for the advice.
00:33:13But I don't need it.
00:33:15I can handle myself.
00:33:17And nothing you say can scare me.
00:33:23Say no to Aston in front of everyone.
00:33:26Or I'll make sure you regret it.
00:33:29Your choice, Stella Evans.
00:33:31Don't make the wrong one.
00:33:57You look beautiful.
00:34:00Hey.
00:34:02You look beautiful.
00:34:03Everything okay?
00:34:04Is it true?
00:34:05Is Aston just using me to get what he wants?
00:34:08Is he just using Emma?
00:34:10Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and woman in holy magic.
00:34:16Marriage is powerful in a way.
00:34:18It makes you feel lucky to be...
00:34:19Do you take Aston to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:34:31I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:34:40I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:34:56What the hell was that about?
00:34:59Is this all fake, Aston?
00:35:01Every word you're telling me, every look you're giving me, is it all just some charade?
00:35:06Jesus, is this necklace even real?
00:35:08No, God.
00:35:12Oh, God.
00:35:16Oh, God.
00:35:19Oh, God.
00:35:25Oh.
00:35:36I have meant every word I've said to you.
00:35:40None of this is a lie.
00:35:43And this necklace?
00:35:47My mother left it to me before she died.
00:35:49She said, uh, that I should only give it to someone I care about.
00:35:55Someone I saw a future with.
00:36:15I'm falling for you, Stella Evans.
00:36:18I have been since the moment we met.
00:36:25I don't know how I feel right now.
00:36:28Today's just been a lot, and my mind is all over the place.
00:36:33You're right.
00:36:35This wedding's way too much too soon.
00:36:38Stay here, and I'll tell everybody the wedding is off.
00:36:51Excellent.
00:36:52A runaway bride is an even bigger scandal than a love child.
00:37:03This must be a record, brother.
00:37:06Two fiancés down.
00:37:07At least this one made it to the altar.
00:37:11Hi, everyone.
00:37:12Sorry to keep you waiting, but...
00:37:14There won't be...
00:37:16Any more interruptions.
00:37:19Who's ready for a wedding?
00:37:44Okay, let's try this again.
00:37:48Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
00:37:55Marriage is powerful in ways you'd never expect.
00:37:58It's something that makes you feel lucky to be alive exactly when and where you are.
00:38:03It's choosing your partner at every moment of every day and of learning how to love even the darkest parts
00:38:11of another person.
00:38:12A true partner stays with you through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, for better or worse, for
00:38:19richer or poorer, and death do you part.
00:38:23Aston, do you take Stella to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:38:27I do.
00:38:29And Stella, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:38:41And Stella, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:38:55I do.
00:38:57Good.
00:38:58You may kiss the bride now.
00:39:12I'd like to congratulate my eldest son on his marriage today, and to announce that he's going to be taking
00:39:19over Montgomery Enterprises as my successor and CEO tomorrow.
00:39:25Oh, this is bullshit.
00:39:27CEO should be mine.
00:39:32This is your fault, you little bitch.
00:39:34Why?
00:39:34What the hell?
00:39:36I hope that hurt.
00:39:38Not as much as this girl.
00:39:40You're not my baby!
00:39:43Not as much as this girl.
00:39:45You're not my baby!
00:39:49What the hell?
00:39:50You ruined my suit!
00:39:51You touched my wife again.
00:39:52I will end you.
00:39:53Now get the hell out of my wedding.
00:40:01Baby!
00:40:02Baby!
00:40:03You're just going to stand there and let him do that!
00:40:06You're right.
00:40:07I should have stopped him before the slap.
00:40:10Let's get out of here before the house tries to ruin our wedding day.
00:40:21Oh, are you okay?
00:40:25I'm fine.
00:40:27You barely got me.
00:40:33So, husband, what should we do next?
00:40:47I have wanted you since the moment we met, Mrs. Montgomery.
00:41:07Where are you going?
00:41:12If I don't leave now, I won't be able to stop myself from tearing you out of that dress.
00:41:22So, I wanted you to stop.
00:41:32This is the moment I met you.
00:41:34You have consumed my everything.
00:41:37I can't eat.
00:41:39I can't sleep.
00:41:40I can't work without thinking about you.
00:41:44Without imagining this.
00:41:49Do you want me?
00:41:52More than anything.
00:41:55I'll make this unforgettable.
00:41:58Oh, yeah.
00:42:00Maybe it's unforgettable.
00:42:03Oh, yeah.
00:42:06Tell me what you want in life.
00:42:10Tell me what you want in life.
00:42:12Tell me what you want in life.
00:42:13I'm trying to treat each other.
00:42:16I'm trying to treat each other.
00:42:22Still a help!
00:42:29The baby's not breathing.
00:42:37Hey.
00:42:39I don't know what happened.
00:42:39One minute she was breathing and the next thing she...
00:42:41Oh, hi.
00:42:43Thank God.
00:42:45Hey.
00:42:47Hey.
00:42:48It's okay.
00:42:48She's okay now.
00:42:49See?
00:42:50Hi.
00:42:52Sweetie.
00:43:01That's the most terrified I've ever been in my life.
00:43:05That's because she's your baby girl and you love her.
00:43:10What if I can't do this on my own?
00:43:13What if I can't raise an entire human being?
00:43:19You can do this.
00:43:20Actually, you already are doing it.
00:43:23All you have to do is love her.
00:43:26That's more than my dad did for me.
00:43:35It's the private investigator.
00:43:37He might have information on who Emma's mom is.
00:43:56Mom, I wanted to let you know that I went through with the wedding.
00:43:59And I brought you a picture.
00:44:04And I even wore your dress.
00:44:07Stella.
00:44:09Oh, you're so beautiful.
00:44:14I'm so glad you found someone to take care of you after.
00:44:18Oh, God.
00:44:21What are you talking about?
00:44:29What's this?
00:44:31A clinical trial?
00:44:33But it cost ten million dollars?
00:44:35Something like that could save my mom.
00:44:38But how am I ever going to get that much money?
00:44:47There you are.
00:44:51Everything okay?
00:44:53Yep.
00:44:55What are you doing?
00:44:59I have to take a paternity test.
00:45:09I have to take a paternity test.
00:45:16I guess we'll know soon if I'm Emma's father.
00:45:19If?
00:45:21Well, they got the footage from the office the day Emma was dropped off.
00:45:25But the woman who was there.
00:45:28But the woman who was there, I don't recognize her.
00:45:31So you just forgot someone you slept with?
00:45:36That wasn't a good time in my life.
00:45:38And I made a lot of bad decisions.
00:45:43But I've changed.
00:45:45You've changed me.
00:45:49Which is why I need you to come with me to the board meeting today.
00:45:53You keep me grounded.
00:45:56Of course, I'll go with you.
00:46:03Today is about more than my retirement.
00:46:06It's about the future of Montgomery Enterprises.
00:46:09A future that will be ripped to shreds if you allow your lying son to become CEO.
00:46:17What are you talking about?
00:46:22You're not the mother of his child.
00:46:28You're not the mother of his child.
00:46:31You're lying.
00:46:32They're both lying to all of you.
00:46:38Stella Evans.
00:46:40Ten o'clock interview with Aston Montgomery for the executive assistant position.
00:46:48Looks like he offered a different job to her altogether.
00:46:52This man would go so far as to marry a complete stranger in order to become your CEO.
00:46:59I don't know how much he's paying you, but it must be a lot.
00:47:03If this is true, son, you're an embarrassment to this family and this company.
00:47:10The board can't proceed with a vote.
00:47:14It's true.
00:47:16Stella was there to interview that day.
00:47:18Me.
00:47:19To see if I was up for the challenge to raising our daughter.
00:47:23But this isn't about my personal life.
00:47:25This is about what's best for Montgomery Enterprises going into the future.
00:47:29And since I've become COO, I have more than doubled our profits.
00:47:33And if that's not enough for you, then I don't know what is.
00:47:38It doesn't matter what you say.
00:47:41Mom already promised me the position of CEO would be mine.
00:47:45Enough.
00:47:48We will vote now.
00:47:51Is there a vote for Clive?
00:47:56And for Aston?
00:48:06It's a tie.
00:48:08So it all comes down to my father.
00:48:11And I have decided.
00:48:17The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises
00:48:20is...
00:48:26The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises
00:48:29is...
00:48:33Aston Montgomery.
00:48:35Oh!
00:48:38What about me?
00:48:40I've looked at the financials.
00:48:42You've spent more time at the country club than in the boardroom.
00:48:46It's not my fault their COG salads are excellent.
00:48:51And the boardroom is boring.
00:48:56Come on.
00:48:59Congratulations, Aston.
00:49:01The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises.
00:49:04But make me doubt anything else
00:49:06and I'll rip everything away from you two
00:49:08without hesitation.
00:49:23So what's your first act as CEO?
00:49:27Have I had every page of the HR handbook?
00:49:29It's a good thing you never gave me that job.
00:49:37I need you.
00:49:46I just want to feel you everywhere
00:49:47all the time
00:49:48because my mind is always set on you.
00:49:53You take me higher than I've ever been
00:49:56when I look into your eyes
00:49:58I can't hope it's happened
00:50:00so close and yet so far

01:07:04unless...
01:07:05well
01:07:17Okay, Emma. Time to learn the truth.
01:07:28In breaking news, CEO Aston Montgomery has called a last-minute press conference to address the future of Montgomery Enterprises.
01:07:35Reporters have it on good authority that he is prepared to step down as CEO, handing the company over to
01:07:41his half-brother, Clive, Montgomery, in the wake of a paternity scandal.
01:08:02Oh my god.
01:08:06I can save him.
01:08:11Do you have anything to say about this?
01:08:12Ma'am, how do you answer the allegation?
01:08:14What do you say about the allegation that accusation is against you?
01:08:17Mr. Montgomery, you do understand that not forcing your wife to take a maternity test is an admission of guilt,
01:08:24right?
01:08:24Which means you've been lying.
01:08:27To everyone.
01:08:28Wait!
01:08:29We're not lying.
01:08:31I took the test.
01:08:33I have the results right here.
01:08:39I have the results right here.
01:08:40Over here, ma'am.
01:08:41Ma'am.
01:08:42They've been fighting a long time.
01:08:44Hey!
01:08:45You know how much I'm willing to pay for those?
01:08:47Not enough.
01:08:48Trust me.
01:08:50Over here, ma'am.
01:08:51Ma'am.
01:08:52They've been fighting a long time.
01:08:53Come on, ma'am.
01:08:57You took the maternity test?
01:08:59Why?
01:08:59Aston, there's something I need to tell you.
01:09:01Show us the results, sweetheart.
01:09:03Prove your husband's not lying.
01:09:07I don't owe anyone proof.
01:09:09Believe me or don't.
01:09:10But I am Emma's mother.
01:09:13I believe you.
01:09:13Don't even think about it, Dahlia.
01:09:23This is so sweet.
01:09:27If only it mattered.
01:09:30You're too late, Stella.
01:09:33Aston already stepped down.
01:09:43You already stepped down?
01:09:45Yes.
01:09:46To protect you.
01:09:47To protect Emma.
01:09:48Aston, we were fine.
01:09:49All you've ever wanted to do is be seen.
01:09:51To be a great husband to you and a great father to Emma.
01:09:55That's all that matters to me.
01:09:57We can figure out the rest.
01:09:59It looks like you're working for me now, brother.
01:10:03I own the company now, which means I own you.
01:10:09Not quite.
01:10:12I just received an offer from Montgomery Enterprises.
01:10:16One that I couldn't refuse.
01:10:19Meet our buyer.
01:10:22Andrew Beaumont.
01:10:30Stella's father.
01:10:39You look just like your mother.
01:10:44This is ridiculous.
01:10:46You're trying to tell me that Stella's related to a billionaire?
01:10:50Ha!
01:10:51She's nothing but a piece of trash.
01:10:53Don't.
01:10:54Speak about my daughter that way.
01:10:56Your daughter?
01:10:58How dare you call me that?
01:11:00You left mom and I.
01:11:02No.
01:11:04Stella, I never left you.
01:11:06Your mother.
01:11:08She kicked me out.
01:11:10Because I wasn't the husband.
01:11:12Or the father that I needed to be.
01:11:13But I'm here now.
01:11:17To make it up to you.
01:11:19This company belongs to me.
01:11:21Not this low-class peasant bitch.
01:11:24Ow!
01:11:25My baby!
01:11:27Damn, that felt good.
01:11:30Get out of my office.
01:11:31Or I'll have you arrested for assault.
01:11:34Actually, the office belongs to my daughter now.
01:11:38As does the company.
01:11:47I'm the CEO of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:11:56I'm the CEO of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:12:04Oh, yes.
01:12:05Which means you get to decide how we get rid of Clive.
01:12:10You're nothing more than a spoiled little rich kid who thinks the world is out to get him.
01:12:15You never deserved this company.
01:12:17So fuck off.
01:12:20I...
01:12:22Mother!
01:12:24You'll let her talk to me that way?
01:12:27Dahlia's words have no power.
01:12:29Not anymore.
01:12:38This can't be happening.
01:12:41I planned everything perfectly.
01:12:45That little orphan would have made the perfect scandal if not for Stella interfering.
01:12:51And you! You were supposed to convince that little bitch that you were pregnant with Aston's baby.
01:12:58But no! You failed and fucked us all!
01:13:03I didn't! I did-
01:13:07Clive, Clarissa, get the hell out of my office!
01:13:10You too, Dahlia. Get out!
01:13:12You can't kick me out. I'm Robert's wife.
01:13:17Not anymore. I want a divorce.
01:13:22Whoa, whoa! What?! This is not-
01:13:25I-
01:13:25Do you have any statements?
01:13:37I always thought she looked just like you when she was sleeping.
01:13:44I never thought I'd see her again.
01:13:48I never wanted to give her up, but...
01:13:51When Mom got sick and the medical bills, I just-
01:13:58I knew we couldn't afford it.
01:14:01That's all in the past.
01:14:05But I want to talk about her future.
01:14:11How would you feel about one more?
01:14:18I could be persuaded.
01:14:21Let me persuade you.
01:14:26Let me persuade you.
01:14:48What's your first order of business as CEO?
01:14:53What's your first order of business as CEO?
01:14:57Twice.
01:15:01I was thinking we could talk business.
01:15:05No one knows more about Montgomery Enterprises than you.
01:15:11I was hoping you might show me the ropes.
01:15:15I'd be happy to.
01:15:21Let's violate the handbook one more time.
01:15:23I've been thinking about the last thing.
01:15:42Oh...
01:15:44oh...
01:15:45oh...
01:15:45Oh, no, no, you can't lose.
01:15:46Oh, no.
01:15:48Oh, no.
01:16:15I'm pregnant.
01:16:27Hey, my mother and I were just catching up.
01:16:34I still can't believe this.
01:16:38Forgive me for not telling you about your father sooner.
01:16:42When I got sick I decided to write him, forgiving him.
01:16:49I never thought you would and I hope you can forgive me too.
01:17:04You saved me and my family, of course I'll forgive you.
01:17:11You know, speaking of family, I'd really like to meet my grandbaby.
01:17:22Which one?
01:17:26Me.
01:17:28Oh, Stella!
01:17:35Stella!
01:17:35Aston, your assistant called and said it was an emergency.
01:17:40Stella Evans?
01:17:43Yes.
01:17:48Come with me.
01:17:57The last time I heard those words I got roped into a fake marriage.
01:18:03Well, this time I'm hoping you'll say yes to a real one.
01:18:19Aston, is that your mother's ring?
01:18:21It is.
01:18:23And you're the only person who's ever been worthy of it.
01:18:29Stella Evans, ever since you stepped into my office, you have changed the course of my life.
01:18:33You have given me a beautiful child.
01:18:37Children.
01:18:39I'm pregnant.
01:18:45I want forever with you.
01:18:47No deals.
01:18:49No schemes.
01:18:51Just us.
01:18:53Will you marry me?
01:18:58Yes!
01:18:59Yes!
01:18:59Yes!
01:18:59I'll marry you!
01:19:12It's beautiful.
01:19:15Just like you.
01:19:20There we go!
01:19:34Let's go.
01:19:37Let's go.
01:19:38Let's go.
01:19:44Let's go.
01:19:52I love you.
01:19:53How much do you love me?
01:19:55Enough to last forever.
01:20:16I love you.
