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.
00:05:20Oh, thanks.
00:05:21Ah!
00:05:23Good-bye.
00:05:26Here you go.
00:05:30It's okay.
00:05:36It's okay.
00:05:39Perhaps...
00:05:40I 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.
00:06:14What the fuck?
00:06:23Excuse me?
00:06:24You 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?
00:06:40Please 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 gonna 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,
00:06:53I 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!
00:07:02Can we answer our question, please?
00:07:04Sir, sir, sir!
00:07:05You cannot ignore us, Mr. Montgomery.
00:07:07Come on now, Mr. Montgomery.
00:07:08Sir, what do you have to say?
00:07:22This place is beautiful.
00:07:27So what do we do now?
00:07:29Simple.
00:07:30We do what fiancés do.
00:07:44We do what fiancés do.
00:07:46Look at me.
00:08:02What the hell was that?
00:08:04This is part of the deal.
00:08:06Alright, we have to sell it.
00:08:07I have someone looking into where Emma came from.
00:08:10This should all be sorted out soon.
00:08:11What will be sorted, brother?
00:08:14Clive?
00:08:16Welcome home.
00:08:18This fiancé and baby certainly came out of nowhere, didn't they?
00:08:22What are you doing here, Clive?
00:08:23I came to meet my niece and soon-to-be sister-in-law, you know.
00:08:28Since it all happened so fast.
00:08:33Stella...
00:08:34Evans, is it?
00:08:37And what trash barrel did you crawl out of?
00:08:41The trash barrel I crawled out of is none of your business.
00:08:46Au contraire, mon cherie.
00:08:48It's most definitely my business.
00:08:52The Montgomerys don't associate with peasants.
00:08:55Bad for business.
00:08:56Leaper, Omo!
00:08:57What?
00:08:59Care to find out?
00:09:04Care to find out?
00:09:07So, my playboy brother does have feelings.
00:09:11And 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 and that baby back into the gutter where you came
00:09:22from.
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 and 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.
00:10:48I...
00:10:51I got a job.
00:10:52Don't worry about me.
00:10:56I gotta go.
00:10:58I'll see you soon.
00:11:02Mom.
00:11:04Mom.
00:11:06Oh!
00:11:11Holy...
00:11:12Hot.
00:11:18See something you like?
00:11:22Hi.
00:11:26Miss Evans?
00:11:28Everything okay?
00:11:32Emma needs us.
00:11:35Right behind you.
00:11:43What's wrong with her?
00:11:46Hey, hey, hey.
00:11:50Shh, there you go. Good job, baby girl.
00:11:54How did you do that?
00:11:56She just wanted to be held. You should hold her.
00:11:59Oh, I don't know about that.
00:12:01She's your daughter. She probably wants you more than anyone else.
00:12:07Trust me, I 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.
00:12:15Aston, she's yours.
00:12:19You can't be scared of her forever.
00:12:27Um, hey, Emma, um...
00:12:32I'm your daddy.
00:12:33I'm your daddy.
00:12:39See?
00:12:41That wasn't so bad.
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?
00:13:28No.
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.
00:13:50Um, my family is coming over for dinner tonight.
00:13:56They want to meet you.
00:13:57Your family?
00:13:59Aston, I can't-
00:14:00Oh, you 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.
00:14:49This is part of what I was saying.
00:15:07Knock 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, man, she'll do it.
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.
00:15:34And he's rich and 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.
00:16:05Aston, stop.
00:16:06He's not worth it.
00:16:11Stella?
00:16:12Mom!
00:16:14Mom!
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, thank you.
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 I have nothing to wear.
00:17:31I'll take care of that.
00:17:38I'll be right back.
00:17:40Bye.
00:17:43Bye.
00:17:46Bye.
00:17:56Bye.
00:17:59Bye.
00:18:09I hoped you'd pick the red.
00:18:11You look beautiful.
00:18:15I'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.
00:19:06May I?
00:19:21Perfect fit.
00:19:29I 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.
00:20:26It'll take a moment.
00:20:30Go.
00:20:33I'll be fine.
00:20:49Stella.
00:20:50How nice of you to join us.
00:20:52This is the woman who trapped our Aston with a bastard child.
00:20:59Funny. It's hard to believe 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 Aston had a sister.
00:21:18Sister?
00:21:19No. I'm Clarissa.
00:21:24Aston's ex-fiance?
00:21:33Oh, God. Is she pregnant with Aston's baby?
00:21:39No wonder Aston didn't introduce you earlier. You'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.
00:21:48At least we didn't hide our child from the entire family.
00:21:53That'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.
00:22:02She'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 Beyonce.
00:22:32You'll never be good enough to be CEO.
00:22:36Aston 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 fiancee and I won't stand for that.
00:22:56Dinner is cancelled.
00:22:58Get out of my house!
00:23:02Now.
00:23:20I'm sorry if I was out of line.
00:23:22No.
00:23:23Thank you for defending me.
00:23:26You didn't have to do that.
00:23:29Of course I did.
00:23:33I'm your fiancee.
00:23:39I never should have watched her 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...
00:24:03This contract between us is over.
00:24:09What 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.
00:25:00You 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.
00:25:26Because 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.
00:26:24Congratulations.
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.
00:27:29It 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...
00:27:54Is ready.
00:27:56Truly.
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.
00:28:34It didn't even work out.
00:28:36It ended before I was born.
00:28:40Just because something doesn't last...
00:28:43Doesn't mean you can't enjoy it while you have it.
00:28:52Plus...
00:28:53Your 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.
00:29:07You'll 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, boy's fiancée.
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.
00:33:01Your 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 or 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 that makes you feel lucky to be-
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?
00:35:03Every look you're giving me?
00:35:04Is it all just some charade?
00:35:05Jesus.
00:35:07Is this necklace even real?
00:35:09God.
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 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. This wedding's way too much too soon.
00:36:38Stay here and I'll tell everybody the wedding is off.
00:36:51Excellent. A runaway bride is an even bigger scandal than a love child.
00:37:03This must be a record, brother. Two fiancés down. At least this one made it to the altar.
00:37:11Hi, everyone. Sorry to keep you waiting, but...
00:37:14There won't be...
00:37:16Any more interruptions.
00:37:19Who's ready for a wedding?
00:37:20I'm fine.
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.
00:38:23Asked him.
00:38:24Do 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?
00:38:42Stella?
00:38:43Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:38:56Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
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.
00:39:25This is bullshit. CEO should be mine.
00:39:32This is your fault, you little bitch.
00:39:34I hope that hurt.
00:39:38Not as much as this world.
00:39:40You're not my baby!
00:39:43Not as much as this world.
00:39:45You're not my baby!
00:39:49What the hell? You ruined my suit!
00:39:51You touched my wife again. I will end you.
00:39:53Now get the hell out of my wedding!
00:40:01Baby!
00:40:02You're just gonna stand there and let him do that?
00:40:06You're right.
00:40:07I should've stopped him before the slap.
00:40:09Let's get out of here before someone else tries to ruin our wedding day.
00:40:12Let's get out of here.
00:40:16Let's get out of here.
00:40:16Let's get out of here.
00:40:17Let's get out of here.
00:40:20Whoa!
00:40:22Are you okay?
00:40:25I'm fine.
00:40:27He barely got me.
00:40:28I'm fine.
00:40:32So...
00:40:34husband...
00:40:36What 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.
00:41:22I said 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.
00:41:53Oh, I'll make this unforgettable.
00:41:58Oh, yeah.
00:42:00Make this unforgettable.
00:42:03Oh, yeah.
00:42:03Oh, yeah.
00:42:06Oh, yeah.
00:42:10Oh, yeah.
00:42:14Oh, yeah.
00:42:30She'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, yeah.
00:42:42Oh, yeah.
00:42:43Thank god.
00:42:45Hey.
00:42:47Hey.
00:42:48It's okay.
00:42:48She's okay now, see?
00:42:50Hi.
00:42:52Mom.
00:43:01That's the most terrified I've ever been in my life.
00:43:05It'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 costs $10 million?
00:44:35Something like that could save my mom.
00:44:38But how am I ever going to get that much money?
00:44:46There 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, 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
00:46:14to become CEO.
00:46:17What are you talking about?
00:46:21You.
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.
00:46:4110 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.
00:47:28And 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?
00:48:05It's a tie.
00:48:07So it all comes down to my father.
00:48:12And I have decided.
00:48:17The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises is...
00:48:33Aston Montgomery.
00:48:39What 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.
00:48:48Their Cobb 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?
00:49:27I've already read every page of the HR handbook.
00:49:29It's a good thing you never gave me that job.
00:49:37I need you.
00:49:38I need you.
00:49:41I need you.
00:50:00So close and yet so far.
00:50:03Let me get you there.
00:50:05Let me get you there.
00:50:07Let me get you there.
00:50:08So.
00:50:24Honey.
00:50:32Just a minute
00:50:41Aston
00:50:43The board would like to see you
00:50:44To go over some financials
00:50:46Of course
00:51:01Knock knock
00:51:04Clarissa, if you're here to bully me
00:51:06I am not in the mood
00:51:07That's not why I'm here
00:51:09I'm here as a courtesy
00:51:11You deserve the truth
00:51:12And clearly Aston isn't going to give it to you
00:51:18This baby isn't Clive's
00:51:22It's Aston's
00:51:30What the hell are you talking about?
00:51:32That baby cannot be Aston's
00:51:34Well we clearly couldn't tell you until the ruse was over
00:51:36Until he became CEO
00:51:39But now that it's all over
00:51:40And Aston got what he wanted
00:51:42We don't need you anymore
00:51:46He doesn't need you anymore
00:51:54What the hell are you talking about?
00:51:57Open Aston's desk door and find out
00:52:11Oh my god
00:52:12He signed the divorce papers
00:52:15Clarissa's telling the truth
00:52:25You can go now
00:52:37Sweet Emma
00:52:41I'm going to miss you so much
00:52:44What's going on?
00:52:46I'm saying goodbye to Emma
00:52:47And then I'm out of here
00:52:49Just like you want me to be
00:52:56Stella, why are you packing?
00:52:57Here
00:52:58I signed up
00:52:59You don't have to worry about me anymore
00:53:00What are you talking about?
00:53:02Come on Aston
00:53:03You used me to get everything you wanted
00:53:06I was a fool to think we could ever be together
00:53:08That we could ever have a family together
00:53:10Oh and by the way
00:53:11Congratulations on the baby
00:53:13I hope you and Clarissa are really happy together
00:53:17Wait
00:53:24Wait
00:53:29Please
00:53:30Let me explain
00:53:32What could you possibly have to say to me?
00:53:38There is nothing
00:53:39And will never be anything
00:53:40Between me and Clarissa ever again
00:53:42I'm not even the father of her child
00:53:44And these
00:53:45I have these drawn up the day I met you before
00:53:46I knew this could be anything more than a contract
00:53:50And this
00:53:50Just take it
00:53:53Please just take everything out
00:53:55All I want
00:53:55Is you
00:53:57And Emma
00:53:57I can take or leave anything else
00:54:00You don't mean that
00:54:01Of course I mean it
00:54:02I have meant
00:54:03Every
00:54:04Word
00:54:05I have said to you
00:54:07I'm in Stella
00:54:08I'm all in
00:54:10Are you?
00:54:16I'm in Stella
00:54:16I'm all in
00:54:19Are you?
00:54:22Yeah
00:54:22I'm all in
00:54:29Yes
00:54:38The paternity results are in
00:54:42I'm not going to be fine
00:54:56I'm not Emma's father
00:55:05I can't believe I'm not her father
00:55:11If she doesn't belong to me
00:55:12Then
00:55:14Why would that woman
00:55:14Have shown up at my office
00:55:16And made me believe she was mine
00:55:21I can't tell you
00:55:22Why this is happening
00:55:23Aston
00:55:24But Emma's lucky
00:55:25To have you as a dad
00:55:28Biological or not
00:55:31We need to find the truth
00:55:39Dahlia's behind it all
00:55:45I'm not telling you anything
00:55:47This isn't a game, Dahlia
00:55:49She's a child
00:55:50Where did Emma come from?
00:55:52Step down as CEO
00:55:53And I'll tell you
00:55:59Step down as CEO
00:56:00And I'll tell you
00:56:01Are you kidding me?
00:56:02This is way bigger than a CEO position
00:56:05This is a child's life you're messing with
00:56:08Shut up
00:56:09You little tramp
00:56:11If you hadn't come along pretending to be her mother
00:56:13The scandal would have proceeded as planned
00:56:17And that little child would be back at the orphanage
00:56:20Right where she belonged
00:56:23Orphanage?
00:56:24That's right
00:56:25The baby's trash
00:56:27Just like you
00:56:39My hair
00:56:40You
00:56:41You better get control of your little wife
00:56:49Or nothing
00:56:52You will not speak about my wife or my family that way
00:56:55Get out
00:57:09Call every orphanage in the city
00:57:10Until you find one that's missing a baby
00:57:22It's okay
00:57:23It's okay
00:57:24We're gonna figure this out
00:57:29Oh my god
00:57:30Did she just call me mama?
00:57:31She's yours if you want her to be
00:57:34I want to be but
00:57:37Until we figure out what's going on
00:57:38I can't get attached
00:57:44Mr. Montgomery
00:57:48Mr. Montgomery
00:57:49Mr. Montgomery
00:57:50What can you say about the recent allegations
00:57:52That Miss Evans is not the mother of your son's child
00:57:55Thank you
00:57:56Mr. Montgomery
00:57:57You can't ignore us
00:57:58Mr. Montgomery
00:58:04What's going on?
00:58:05The press is having a field day out there
00:58:08I told you to
00:58:09No more scandals
00:58:11What are you talking about?
00:58:14I went out on a limb for you son
00:58:15I trusted you
00:58:17And this has been a lie the whole time?
00:58:21You say she's the mother of your child?
00:58:23Prove it
00:58:24Or I'll expect you to step down as CEO tomorrow morning
00:58:30How do we prove it?
00:58:33Simple
00:58:34Take a maternity test
00:58:42How do we prove it?
00:58:45Simple
00:58:46Take a maternity test
00:58:55We're not going away Mr. Montgomery
00:58:58Come on now
00:59:02Whoa whoa whoa
00:59:04Okay
00:59:06Aston
00:59:08If I take a maternity test
00:59:10They're going to know that Emma's not mine
00:59:11And then we may lose her
00:59:14Forever
00:59:14No
00:59:18We've been lying
00:59:21If they find out
00:59:22There's no way we can keep Emma
00:59:33My mom is dying
00:59:34My head is so warm
00:59:52My heart was racing
00:59:54I was so scared
00:59:57It's okay
01:00:01It's okay
01:00:03It's all going to be okay
01:00:05It's all going to be okay
01:00:05Yeah
01:00:17Hey
01:00:19My mom's getting worse
01:00:23She needs this experimental treatment
01:00:25But we can't afford it
01:00:27So
01:00:29Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:33I didn't want to be a burden to you
01:00:35You can never be a burden
01:00:38How much does the treatment cost?
01:00:45Ten million dollars
01:00:47I'll pay it
01:00:49Every penny
01:00:57I'll pay it
01:00:57Every penny
01:01:01Aston
01:01:01Like I said
01:01:03Money doesn't matter
01:01:04I would do anything for you
01:01:05Anything for our family
01:01:09Thank you
01:01:11You have no idea what this means to me
01:01:23How do you always know just what to say to make me feel better?
01:01:27Because I know you
01:01:29I know what you want
01:01:30I know what you need
01:01:32That's what happens to someone when you
01:01:37When you
01:01:39When you what?
01:01:42When you love someone
01:01:45And I love you
01:01:46It still happens
01:01:53And I love you
01:01:55It's not Evans
01:02:03You love me?
01:02:07I do
01:02:10I can't believe it's taken me so long to see you
01:02:18Please tell me you feel the same
01:02:24I don't know what I'm feeling
01:02:26It's all just
01:02:27It's too much
01:02:32I understand
01:02:41Hi
01:02:41I'd like to pay a bill for Mary Evans
01:02:45It has
01:02:48By who?
01:02:52I see
01:02:55Thank you
01:03:13A year ago
01:03:15I gave up my baby girl
01:03:19I had no choice
01:03:21And it broke my heart
01:03:22The chances are almost impossible
01:03:24But I have to know
01:03:26Could Emma be my daughter?
01:03:39Hello
01:03:41I'd like to schedule a maternity test
01:03:53Hey Stella
01:03:55Do you
01:03:57Everything okay?
01:03:58Fine
01:04:03You seem
01:04:05Off
01:04:12I'm fine
01:04:12I just
01:04:14I have a lot on my mind
01:04:18I just can't stop thinking about Emma's mother
01:04:20And how
01:04:21Our lives could come
01:04:22Crashing down over some
01:04:24Maternity test
01:04:25Then don't take it
01:04:26What?
01:04:28No I can't ask you to do that
01:04:29That's not fair to you
01:04:33Don't worry about what's fair to me
01:04:35It's all I'm worried about
01:04:37You mean more to me than this CEO position
01:04:41He's trying to help
01:04:42But
01:04:43If Emma's somehow mine
01:04:44I can save Aston's job
01:04:46And his reputation
01:04:48Just
01:04:50Don't do anything rash okay?
01:04:53We still have until tomorrow to figure it out
01:04:59I need to ask
01:05:01Does the name Andrew Beaumont
01:05:03Mean anything to you?
01:05:06No
01:05:06Should it?
01:05:09Well
01:05:10He paid for your mother's treatment
01:05:13All
01:05:14Ten million
01:05:28Mom
01:05:30Who's Andrew Beaumont?
01:05:35How do you know about him?
01:05:39He paid for your treatment
01:05:41Who is he?
01:05:47Mom?
01:05:48Mom?
01:05:50Mom!
01:05:51Someone call the doctor!
01:05:54Mom!
01:05:54Mom!
01:05:55Mom!
01:06:11I spoke with the doctors
01:06:15She's been put in a medically induced coma
01:06:17Until the swelling in her brain subsides
01:06:22It's all my fault if I wouldn't push her
01:06:24No Estella
01:06:25It is not your fault
01:06:28I know
01:06:29I know
01:06:29And I know she's sick
01:06:30I just wish there was something I could do
01:06:32She's with the doctors now
01:06:35She's getting the treatment she needs
01:06:38It'll all be fine
01:06:40No matter how much you keep blaming yourself
01:06:43I'll say it again
01:06:46It's not your fault
01:06:47I know
01:07:17Okay, Emma.
01:07:19Time to learn the truth.
01:07:28In breaking news, CEO Aston Montgomery has called a last-minute press conference to
01:07:33address the future of Montgomery Enterprises.
01:07:36Reporters have it on good authority that he is prepared to step down as CEO, handing
01:07:40the company over to his 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?
01:08:13How long was the divorce happen?
01:08:14What do you say about the allegation that accusation was against you?
01:08:17Sir, can you please tell her?
01:08:18Over here.
01:08:18Mary, you do understand that not forcing your wife to take a maternity test is an admission
01:08:23of guilt, right?
01:08:24Which means you've been lying.
01:08:26To 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.
01:08:42Come on.
01:08:43Don't be tired of it, ma'am.
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.
01:08:52Don't be tired of it, ma'am.
01:08:53Come on, ma'am.
01:08:54What are you having to give us a quote?
01:08:55How long has this happened?
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.
01:09:02Prove 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.
01:09:12I believe you.
01:09:14Don't even think about it, Dahlia.
01:09:24This is so sweet.
01:09:27If only it mattered.
01:09:31You'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.
01:10:05Which 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.
01:10:24You 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 speak 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, she kicked me out.
01:11:10Because I wasn't the husband or 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.
01:11:20Not this low-class peasant bitch.
01:11:24No! My baby!
01:11:27Damn, that felt good.
01:11:30Get out of my office or I'll have you arrested for assault.
01:11:34Actually, the office belongs to my daughter now.
01:11:39As does the company.
01:11:42What?
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?!
01:12:26Dahlia's words have no power.
01:12:29Not anymore.
01:12:35Uh...
01:12:37This...
01:12:38Can'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, but no, you
01:13:00failed and fucked us all.
01:13:03I didn't, I did, hey, hey, hey, Clive, 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.
01:13:22Oh, what? This is not...
01:13:24I 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 when mom got sick and medical bills, I just, I knew
01:13:58we couldn't afford it.
01:14:01That's all in the past.
01:14:05But I want to talk about our future.
01:14:11How would you feel about one more?
01:14:18I could be persuaded.
01:14:21Let me persuade you.
01:14:47So, what's your first order of business as CEO?
01:14:52Well, since I've already violated the employee handbook.
01:14:57Twice.
01:15:01I was thinking we could talk business.
01:15:06No 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.
01:15:25I was hoping you could talk about my mind for the sunrise, yeah.
01:15:36And when it's finally time, it's just more of the same.
01:15:40Got a rest of the day, no.
01:15:44I said it a thousand times.
01:15:48So,
01:16:14you're not going to freeze me.
01:16:16I'm pregnant!
01:16:27Hey!
01:16:30The 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.
01:16:46Forgiving him.
01:16:49I never thought you would.
01:16:54And um...
01:16:56I hope you can forgive me too.
01:17:04You saved me and my family.
01:17:06Of course I'll forgive you.
01:17:11You know, speaking of family...
01:17:15I'd really like to meet my grandbaby.
01:17:22Which one?
01:17:29Oh, Stella!
01:17:35Aston, your assistant called and said it was an emergency.
01:17:40Stella Evans?
01:17:42Yes.
01:17:47Come 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.
01:18:28Stella Evans?
01:18:30Stella 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.
01:18:40I'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!
01:18:58Yes!
01:18:59Yes, I'll marry you!
01:19:12It's beautiful.
01:19:15Just like you.
01:19:21There we go.
01:19:32What do you say, Mrs. Montgomery?
01:19:35Should we blow those popsicle stuff?
01:19:37Let's do it.
01:19:52I love you.
01:19:53I love you.
01:19:54How much do you love me?
01:19:55Enough to last forever.
