00:00:03Miss 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.
00:00:12Is this gonna mess with me having kids?
00:00:14I've always wanted to be a mom.
00:00:16If you want a child, it is medically advisable to do so within the next six months.
00:00:22Through everything, here we stand.
00:00:26Babe, me at X Hotels, 3.02 at 7 p.m.
00:00:30Got a surprise for you.
00:00:34Ethan loves me so much, maybe...
00:00:37Maybe it's not such a bad idea to have a baby sooner rather than later.
00:00:43No, I'm gonna tell him now.
00:00:45Yeah, okay.
00:00:49Oh!
00:01:04Early ovarian failure at 25.
00:01:07If someone sees this, die of embarrassment.
00:01:13Sorry.
00:01:14Are you okay?
00:01:15Yeah, I'm fine.
00:01:22I'm fine.
00:01:33Oh, my God!
00:01:35Lila!
00:01:37You said you'd be back at 7.
00:01:39Cheating?
00:01:40Is this the big surprise you had planned for me?
00:01:45Oh, you're such a buzzkill.
00:01:47You always said you wanted to try something new?
00:01:49Come join us.
00:01:54You always said you wanted to try something new?
00:01:56Come join us.
00:01:57Three years.
00:01:58You know, I wasted three years on you.
00:02:01God, I'm such an idiot.
00:02:03You know, I was planning on having a baby.
00:02:05A baby.
00:02:06A baby.
00:02:07Oh.
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.
00:02:28Six months?
00:02:29What, 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.
00:02:46One appointment, one sperm donor, and I can have my own baby.
00:02:58Six months to produce an heir, or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:03:04Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:03:08Well, sir, the surrogate candidates have all been vetted thoroughly.
00:03:11I mean, Ivy League graduates.
00:03:15Expectable health histories.
00:03:17I don't need resumes.
00:03:19I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:03:21Find me someone who knows their place.
00:03:23Someone who will quietly disappear after they give birth.
00:03:31It's you.
00:03:35Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:03:37Oh, um...
00:03:39Right, well, let's get started.
00:03:44Education background?
00:03:45Excuse me?
00:03:46Um...
00:03:47And I'm going to need a complete medical history.
00:03:48Family genetic conditions, mostly.
00:03:51Um...
00:03:51Do you exercise regularly?
00:03:52You look...
00:03:56Acceptable.
00:03:58Do you have any idea who I am?
00:04:00I'm just being thorough.
00:04:02This is about making a healthy baby, after all.
00:04:07Gosh, why are men almost so full of themselves?
00:04:10Um...
00:04:11Um, sir, I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:04:14I need to know about your...
00:04:15Reproductive history.
00:04:17Sexual partners in the last six months?
00:04:19Mr Crawford, I can show her out.
00:04:21It's okay.
00:04:22Thompson, you can leave us.
00:04:24Okay.
00:04:25What are you doing?
00:04:32I'm making sure this is...
00:04:35Thorough.
00:04:39Harvard Business School.
00:04:40MBA.
00:04:41Top of my class.
00:04:43No family history of any genetic disorders.
00:04:45I work out five times a week.
00:04:47Crossfit.
00:04:48Yoga.
00:04:49Rock climbing.
00:04:49Cycling.
00:04:50Cycling.
00:04:51As for...
00:04:53Intimate matters, I can assure you that performance has never been a problem.
00:04:58Now that Thompson's gone, are you comfortable sharing yours?
00:05:01Of course.
00:05:03I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:05:05No genetic conditions.
00:05:06I get checkups regularly.
00:05:08I haven't started taking prenatal vitamins.
00:05:12Good.
00:05:13I have to say, you're a perfect match.
00:05:16How about...
00:05:17In regards to compensation, have you got a figure in mind?
00:05:20Well, I was thinking...
00:05:22Eight hundred?
00:05:23Dollars?
00:05:24Eight hundred dollars?
00:05:27Well...
00:05:28I was expecting a figure...
00:05:31Much higher than that.
00:05:32I know it's not much, but...
00:05:34You know...
00:05:36Considering the quality, and...
00:05:37And I could help out in other ways.
00:05:39I could do your paperwork, or...
00:05:42Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:05:53Are you serious?
00:05:55All this?
00:05:56Take your time reviewing, but the key point is...
00:05:58After birth, the child stays with me.
00:06:00No contact.
00:06:01Are you...
00:06:02Are you kidding me?
00:06:03You wanna keep my baby?
00:06:07Are you kidding me?
00:06:08You wanna keep my baby?
00:06:09My baby!
00:06:11Is this some kind of sick joke?
00:06:13That's standard procedure for a surrogacy.
00:06:16Surrogacy agreement?
00:06:16Surrogacy?
00:06:17What?
00:06:17Surrogacy?
00:06:18The position that you're interviewing for.
00:06:20Interviewing?
00:06:21No, I came here to buy sperm.
00:06:24You came to what?
00:06:29Oh my God.
00:06:31I?
00:06:35I thought you were a donor.
00:06:36That is why I came here asking you all those questions about your...
00:06:40Qualifications.
00:06:42And I thought you were applying to be my surrogate.
00:06:45I am...
00:06:47So sorry about all the confusion.
00:06:49I...
00:06:52I'm gonna go.
00:06:55A million dollars...
00:06:58For carrying my child.
00:06:59No problem.
00:07:04I want my own baby, Mr Crawford.
00:07:08Not somebody else's.
00:07:13Next.
00:07:21Miss Reed.
00:07:22Your father.
00:07:23You need to come now.
00:07:33My love.
00:07:36It's gonna be okay, Dad.
00:07:37You're gonna be okay.
00:07:39I'm not afraid to die.
00:07:43I'm just afraid...
00:07:45To leave you alone.
00:07:47Dad?
00:07:49Dad?
00:07:50Doctor!
00:07:51Help!
00:07:52Please!
00:08:01Doctor!
00:08:02My father.
00:08:03How is he?
00:08:04The cancer has spread aggressively.
00:08:05Without immediate treatment.
00:08:07Then treat him!
00:08:08Now!
00:08:09The full course of treatment will cost approximately one million dollars.
00:08:14Aristocratic etiquette training.
00:08:16Influencer.
00:08:18Bachelor in economics.
00:08:19Yeah, right.
00:08:20She's underage.
00:08:21Is this the last batch?
00:08:22Yes, sir.
00:08:23The brunette asked about ring sizes.
00:08:25Blonde.
00:08:26That's all she asked about.
00:08:27A good name.
00:08:28And a redhead.
00:08:29All of them just want the Crawford name.
00:08:33But none of them are suitable.
00:08:39This one...
00:08:41Was refreshing.
00:08:43She was real.
00:08:45No schemes.
00:08:46Well, Mr Crawford, I wish she wasn't here for servicing.
00:08:49Sometimes the best candidates aren't looking for the job.
00:08:52Oh my God.
00:08:53A million dollars?
00:08:54I...
00:08:55Maybe I could get a loan?
00:09:01A million dollars.
00:09:03For carrying my child.
00:09:17Hello?
00:09:18Mila Reid.
00:09:19This is Adrienne Crawford.
00:09:21This is Adrienne Crawford.
00:09:27It's all I was thinking.
00:09:31About the other day.
00:09:33I think I may have been...
00:09:35A little hasty.
00:09:37You're reconsidering?
00:09:38Don't look so smug.
00:09:39I just...
00:09:43I have my reasons.
00:09:45As do I.
00:09:47I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:09:54What kind of modification?
00:09:57Joint custody.
00:09:59As well as carrying the child you'd be...
00:10:01Its mother.
00:10:04Why would you do that?
00:10:06You're direct.
00:10:08Honest.
00:10:09No hidden agendas.
00:10:11Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:10:15So...
00:10:17I'd really be a part of the baby's life?
00:10:19Yes.
00:10:21But just to be clear.
00:10:22We'll be parents.
00:10:23Nothing more.
00:10:25No emotional entanglements.
00:10:27No romantic expectations.
00:10:28Please don't flatter yourself.
00:10:33Father.
00:10:34The board is getting impatient.
00:10:37Have you considered the arrangement that I suggested?
00:10:40I have my own plans.
00:10:42Aces.
00:10:43If you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an error, forget it.
00:10:48The Crawford name means something.
00:10:51I won't have it tainted by...
00:10:54I've already chosen my fiancee.
00:10:57What?
00:10:58I will talk about it again.
00:11:00I'm sorry.
00:11:02Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiancee?
00:11:08Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiancee?
00:11:13Didn't somebody just say,
00:11:15Just parents, nothing more?
00:11:18The situation requires...
00:11:21Adaptation.
00:11:22Is that CEO speak for I changed my mind?
00:11:25You'll need a convincing story.
00:11:27You'll stay at my house during the pregnancy.
00:11:30Okay.
00:11:32What about after?
00:11:34We'll arrange an amicable split.
00:11:36Continue co-parenting.
00:11:37I'll provide additional compensation for the complexity.
00:11:41No, the original match is fine, it's just...
00:11:46I do need it soon.
00:11:50I do need it soon.
00:11:53So...aret
00:11:54мало
00:12:19Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:12:47My whole apartment could fit in his hallway.
00:12:55Well, well, missed me so much you had to track me down.
00:13:03Couldn't get over me, huh?
00:13:06Had to follow me here like a lost puppy dog.
00:13:10Father, do you know I didn't...
00:13:12Wait, what are you doing here?
00:13:13What am I doing here?
00:13:14Sweetheart, you should know better.
00:13:16This is my family's home.
00:13:21You were so mad last time I saw you.
00:13:24Now I find you wandering around.
00:13:28I finally realized what you were missing, huh?
00:13:30Get your hands off me.
00:13:33Plain hard to get.
00:13:35Now that was cute before, but now...
00:13:39Come on, baby.
00:13:42This is what you really came in for.
00:13:45Right?
00:13:49Uncle!
00:13:51What are you doing?
00:13:53What are you doing?
00:13:53Your filthy hands off of my fiancee.
00:13:58Fiancee?
00:13:59Uncle?
00:14:04Fiancee?
00:14:05No way.
00:14:07She is just...
00:14:08Shut your mouth.
00:14:10Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:14:14Come on.
00:14:16This is crazy.
00:14:18You seriously don't know.
00:14:22I won't repeat myself.
00:14:24Stay away from my fiancee.
00:14:28One more word and you can kiss your trustful goodbye.
00:14:39No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:14:45Are you all right?
00:14:46Yeah.
00:14:48Yeah, I'm fine.
00:14:51I just...
00:14:53Ethan's your nephew?
00:14:54And he's your...
00:14:58Well...
00:14:59He may have been kinda...
00:15:01My boyfriend.
00:15:03Ex.
00:15:05Ex-boyfriend.
00:15:06Very ex.
00:15:06Extremely ex.
00:15:08I see.
00:15:10Thompson will bring your things up shortly.
00:15:12Thanks.
00:15:12Um, where will I be staying?
00:15:16Here.
00:15:22What?
00:15:24Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple are sleeping in separate rooms.
00:15:29Oh.
00:15:31Right. Fake engagement.
00:15:34Real roommates.
00:15:37This is the line.
00:15:39Don't cross it. Ever.
00:15:41I wasn't planning on it.
00:15:43Good. Didn't want you to.
00:15:45Good. I won't.
00:15:46Okay.
00:16:01See? My brilliant plan work.
00:16:07Wait, how did I?
00:16:10Okay.
00:16:11Sir, our new project in Singapore has been blooming.
00:16:13I mean, we have some meetings for you to attend to discuss our future plans with the board members.
00:16:19Sir?
00:16:24You okay?
00:16:26You okay?
00:16:28Jesus Christ.
00:16:29You okay?
00:16:30Yeah, I'm fine.
00:16:31Continue.
00:16:32Okay.
00:16:33So, the meeting, Singapore.
00:16:43I know.
00:16:45I set on my return is сот.
00:16:45Stay on your side.
00:16:50Lila
00:16:51Lila wake up
00:17:07Lila
00:17:24Lila
00:17:26Lila
00:17:26Lila
00:17:26Lila
00:17:29Lila
00:17:54Oh, that's cold, that's cold.
00:18:07Sorry, didn't see you, it's hard to notice the help.
00:18:15Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancee.
00:18:20Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:23Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:35Tell me, dear, how did you meet Adrienne?
00:18:41Through 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.
00:19:20You, as Adrienne's fiancee, would be expected to attend.
00:19:26I'd be honored.
00:19:28Wonderful.
00:19:30I'm sure you can find something suitable to wear.
00:19:37Helen, make sure to take good care of your mistress.
00:19:52Excuse me, Miss Reed.
00:19:54Need 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?
00:20:07How creative.
00:20:09Must be harder than your family watching you change a rich man.
00:20:13As a maid, maybe you should just focus on your own job.
00:20:15My business is none of your concern.
00:20:21Oh, how clumsy of me.
00:20:26Stop it!
00:20:28Oh, really?
00:20:29The thing is you could just marry a rich man.
00:20:32You're just trash trying to climb a social ladder.
00:20:35Hey!
00:20:37Mr. Crawford!
00:20:40She was trying to attack me.
00:20:44I'm just trying to help.
00:20:46Get out.
00:20:46I'm sorry.
00:20:47Can't explain.
00:20:48One more word and you're fired.
00:20:50Get out.
00:20:54What happened?
00:20:56Nothing.
00:20:57I just...
00:20:59I need some space.
00:21:02I'll stay in the guest room tonight.
00:21:04Lala, you don't have to.
00:21:05Please.
00:21:07I need some time alone.
00:21:09No, you stay.
00:21:11I'll sleep on the side.
00:21:20I miss her so much, darling.
00:21:23Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:25As long as we can get you better, I will let the words get to me.
00:21:30I promise.
00:21:37Lala, what happened?
00:21:41What should I do?
00:21:53What should I do?
00:22:03Well, this is awkward.
00:22:13No worries.
00:22:14It's just a small pinch.
00:22:16That is not small.
00:22:22It's okay.
00:22:24Over here.
00:22:25You stay.
00:22:31It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:43Mr. Crawford, it is your time for the sperm collection.
00:22:46Okay.
00:22:47How do we do this?
00:22:48What equipment do we need?
00:22:49No need.
00:22:50Just head to the collection room and use your hand.
00:22:53Okay.
00:23:15And pretend she's not right out the door.
00:23:21Mr. Crawford, are you all right in there?
00:23:23Mr. Crawford?
00:23:23Mr. Crawford, are you all right in there?
00:23:28Mr. Crawford, can you and I just well walk away.
00:23:30Mr. Crawford are all right in there and aye Johnny?
00:23:32Mr. Crawford?
00:23:33Mr. Hahn, what would you look good in here?
00:23:33and Mr. Crawford, do you look at home.
00:23:34Mr. Crawford?
00:23:34What art are you doing?
00:23:35I won't look at home.
00:23:39Mr. Crawford, don't look at home.
00:24:00So, do you want to help?
00:24:01Yeah, what can I?
00:24:04Oh my God.
00:24:06You thought...
00:24:08No, no, I didn't.
00:24:09Um, I didn't.
00:24:11I, um, I'm...
00:24:13I'm...
00:24:14I'm gonna go.
00:24:16I'm gonna go.
00:24:17I'm gonna go so far away.
00:24:20Helpful.
00:24:34Are you okay?
00:24:36Dr. Anderson said the hormone shots might hurt a little bit.
00:24:40You're in pain.
00:24:41It's just some discomfort. It'll pass.
00:24:43I'll be okay.
00:24:49Here, this should help.
00:25:02Yes.
00:25:08Um, well, the hormone shots were part of the agreement.
00:25:12So, any resulting discomfort is technically a work-related issue.
00:25:16And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:57Purely professional care.
00:26:25Adrien, wait. About this weekend.
00:26:27Sorry, emergency in Atlanta. The merger's falling apart.
00:26:30But...
00:26:31Thompson, have the jet ready in 20.
00:26:33Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:34Now, you know what?
00:26:37I can do it myself.
00:26:41I don't suppose that we could expect punctuality
00:26:45from someone who has never owned a watch in her entire life.
00:26:51I introduced him to the Thompson Arons,
00:26:54Senator Stolter.
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. Seamstress.
00:27:09She probably thinks having the proper family do her name will raise her to the top and then she can
00:27:14have her own fashion show.
00:27:15If she's poor, fine. But no sense of time either.
00:27:21I need to have a serious talk with Adrien.
00:27:24Probably just digging for a wardrobe. Can't find something to wear.
00:27:27A fashion designer scrounging around for an outfit. How ironic.
00:27:32Maybe her designs are just too embarrassing to be seen in public.
00:27:35Okay, but seriously, I mean, I do pity her, right?
00:27:42Her worthless clothing and our beautiful home, I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:51Go get her now, you.
00:28:14Apologies for the delay.
00:28:24My, my, my, my. 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 Adrien's credit card is being put to good use.
00:28:44Although money can buy you designer clothing, it can't buy you a good upbringing.
00:28:51Actually, I made the dress myself.
00:28:53The little seamstress that you are. How quaint.
00:28:57At least we know who will be darning.
00:29:00Adrien sucks.
00:29:04You know, I wasn't brought up into wealth, but I was raised with 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?
00:29:27Name your price.
00:29:28Mr. Crawford, I believe that's the difference between you and me.
00:29:32I don't think everything can be bought with money.
00:29:37Excuse me.
00:29:48Stay calm.
00:29:51You got this.
00:29:52I'll dress up for me, baby.
00:30:00I need to get back to dinner.
00:30:02What's the rush?
00:30:03We're all family here.
00:30:06Almost, family.
00:30:08Don't touch me.
00:30:09You used to like it when I touched you.
00:30:11Remember how shy you were?
00:30:13Always saying no.
00:30:14Let go of me, you creep.
00:30:15Right?
00:30:16Careful now.
00:30:17I'm screaming.
00:30:18Everyone at dinner will find out what kind of a girl you really are.
00:30:21And her love history.
00:30:26I'm so excited.
00:30:28I'm so excited.
00:30:32I'm so excited.
00:30:34Is everything okay?
00:30:36You look a bit flustered.
00:30:40As I was saying about the world's adventure.
00:30:45Stop it.
00:30:47Something wrong with me, Reed?
00:30:58Enough.
00:30:59No manners.
00:31:00No class.
00:31:01I don't know how you managed to seduce my son.
00:31:04Someone like you never deserve a place in this family.
00:31:08I'm the one that told her to stay here and be with me.
00:31:18Adrian.
00:31:19If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:31:24You want to know how we met?
00:31:26She crashed into my life.
00:31:28Quite literally.
00:31:30She's brave.
00:31:31It'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 even blink.
00:31:40Look, for caring 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.
00:31:55And 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.
00:32:03First, your mother's invited Mrs. Crawford to the family dinner.
00:32:06Second, the daddy's ready.
00:32:07We can go now.
00:32:12Cancel it, Lana.
00:32:13But, but, but, sir, is there the murder?
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.
00:32:39What are you talking about?
00:32:42We've been dating for three years.
00:32:45See?
00:32:54So, clearly she planned all this, dated me first to get to know the family, and now, well, set her
00:33:00sights 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?
00:33:12You're right.
00:33:12You're right.
00:33:14We did date for three years, but you were cheating on me for two of them.
00:33:21What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:24Nudes?
00:33:30Or do you record videos?
00:33:38That was for every lie you just told.
00:33:40You, Lila!
00:33:42How dare you, Adrian, hit my son!
00:33:48Lila.
00:33:51Where do you think you're going?
00:33:53We're not finished yet.
00:33:56Yes, we are.
00:34:01I'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.
00:34:22Sit down.
00:34:22Let me have a look at that.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:28Sit down.
00:34:28Let me have a look at that.
00:34:30Okay.
00:34:33As my fiancé, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:37I expect you to use them.
00:34:39I didn't want to assume.
00:34:43You're Crawford now.
00:34:47I like it.
00:34:49I like it.
00:35:01Dr. Anderson.
00:35:02Mr. Crawford, the zygots are ready.
00:35:05We can proceed with the implementation tomorrow morning.
00:35:08I see.
00:35:10What is it?
00:35:11Is there something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:12So I've been thinking.
00:35:14Perhaps we could approach this in a more natural manner.
00:35:19Let's help.
00:35:26So, what do you think?
00:35:28Can't afford to let you in.
00:35:30Wow.
00:35:32Um, we should probably get some sleep.
00:35:37You know, the procedure.
00:35:39Oh.
00:35:41Good night, Mr. Crawford.
00:35:54You don't need to be so nervous.
00:35:56Mr. Crawford, try to relax.
00:35:58When I open up the window, it might feel a bit cold.
00:36:03Are you cold?
00:36:08That white little spot?
00:36:11Yeah.
00:36:12That's our baby.
00:36:14Really?
00:36:23I can't walk, you know.
00:36:25The doctor said to stay off your feet.
00:36:27Complete rest.
00:36:28You seem more nervous than I am.
00:36:30Hey, I'm just following medical protocol.
00:36:47Ethan, in order to claim your inheritance, you have to find a way to break them up.
00:36:52No matter what it takes.
00:36:56Maybe finding the chance to get her back into my arms is the best way.

00:50:05Adrian!
00:50:07What the hell were you thinking
00:50:09at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:11Of doing my job.
00:50:13Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:50:16Ever since she came into your life,
00:50:18you've been ruining,
00:50:20you've been undermining everything that we built.
00:50:22Leave Ryla out of this.
00:50:23I don't need to stand here and listen to you.
00:50:25Oh, run along.
00:50:27The adults are talking business now.
00:50:30Don't worry, dear.
00:50:32We just need to borrow him for a moment.
00:50:34Business matters.
00:50:35Who wouldn't understand?
00:50:39She's nothing but a brute mare.
00:50:42Once she delivers,
00:50:43you pay her off and you'll be done with it.
00:50:46Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:50:49Someone like me.
00:50:54Yeah.
00:50:55Vivian joins Crawford Industries.
00:50:57Tomorrow.
00:50:59Unnegotiable.
00:51:01We'll be with you every day.
00:51:03Just like before.
00:51:05And your little pet project.
00:51:07She can stay at home with just eight.
00:51:09That's all she's good for.
00:51:12Get out! Both of you!
00:51:14Dare you.
00:51:16If you ever speak about my wife like that again,
00:51:18I 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, 9 a.m.
00:51:34Vivian starts.
00:51:35No discussion.
00:51:37Is that all?
00:51:39For now,
00:51:40don't disappoint me again.
00:51:53Stop it! Stop checking!
00:51:56I was independent before him.
00:51:58I didn't need someone to
00:52:00create a meal plan for me
00:52:02or hold me while I sleep.
00:52:07No.
00:52:09I'm not going to be that girl.
00:52:15I can work on my own.
00:52:17You know, I don't need his
00:52:20arrangements or his
00:52:22dental care.
00:52:24I'm just a tool for a baby.
00:52:34So Lila and Adrian's relationship
00:52:37is on the rocks.
00:52:38Well, if it isn't the perfect opportunity
00:52:40to 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.
00:52:49Now.
00:52:50Put me down!
00:52:52Put me down!
00:52:55No!
00:52:58Thank you for bringing me here.
00:53:00I know we've had our...
00:53:02differences.
00:53:04I'm like...
00:53:06Now you used to look at me like this.
00:53:08So sweet and sincere.
00:53:10No.
00:53:11Why not?
00:53:13You're telling me there's really nothing still between us.
00:53:16Ethan...
00:53:17He'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...
00:53:30Adrian, stop!
00:53:31What are you doing?
00:53:32I'm protecting you!
00:53:33Ethan, help me!
00:53:34He found me bleeding and brought me here!
00:53:36Now you're defending him?
00:53:38I'm defending the truth.
00:53:39Sometimes we have to surprise you.
00:53:42I see.
00:53:45Adrian...
00:53:45I'll get the doctor.
00:53:48Adrian...
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.
00:54:04I've already called Dr. Reynolds, she'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:54:07He's so bossy.
00:54:09No.
00:54:10Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:54:13One of those beach dates we used to have.
00:54:16You said I was the best.
00:54:20Thompson, call in the catering.
00:54:23Yeah, they're one of the questions.
00:54:26Lila's been craving something.
00:54:28Medium fatty cut.
00:54:30No, what's up?
00:54:31I didn't say those.
00:54:33The prenatal vitamins I researched should arrive shortly.
00:54:36They're custom formulated for a Lila flood type and genetic makeup.
00:54:46Everything's already being taken care of.
00:54:48You can defend him if he touches you, Reagan.
00:54:52I'll be there.
00:54:55I didn't mean to.
00:54:57Hello?
00:54:57Good.
00:55:04Vivian was sick.
00:55:06I gave her a key and let her rest at our place.
00:55:09Overwork, they say.
00:55:11I'm cleaning up your company's mess.
00:55:14I have meetings.
00:55:16Well, cancel them.
00:55:18You're going to take care of her now.
00:55:20No negotiation.
00:55:22Well, either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you, or I'll call an emergency
00:55:28board meeting.
00:55:34You can skip the performance, Vivian.
00:55:38It's still so cold.
00:55:41Remember the first time you bought me flowers?
00:55:44Yeah, that was a long time ago.
00:55:47Adrian, we could be that again.
00:55:53Whatever game you're playing here, it won't work.
00:55:59Get out.
00:56:01I don't want my fiance seeing you here.
00:56:04Maybe I was wrong.
00:56:06I should have trusted him.
00:56:08I should have given him a chance to explain.
00:56:13I guess some things never change.
00:56:31Laila!
00:56:32Hi, Dad.
00:56:39Your hand!
00:56:40It's nothing.
00:56:43Dad, 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.
00:56:56Not him.
00:56:57Then who?
00:56:58It doesn't matter.
00:57:00Dad, look.
00:57:01What really matters is that this is my baby.
00:57:04And I am going to love them just like you love me.
00:57:09Oh, sweetheart.
00:57:10I'm so sorry.
00:57:12I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you.
00:57:14If I was healthier, if I could work...
00:57:17Dad, 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?
00:57:26Please tell me you didn't sell yourself to someone.
00:57:29No, Dad.
00:57:30It isn't like that.
00:57:31Did someone take advantage of you?
00:57:33My little girl.
00:57:35Pregnant and alone.
00:57:37She's not alone.
00:57:43Adrian.
00:57:44Mr. Reid.
00:57:46I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:57:48I'm the father of the child.
00:57:50Not just the father.
00:57:52I'm the man who's going to spend the rest of his life making sure that your daughter and our child
00:57:57have everything they deserve.
00:58:00Pretty words from a rich man.
00:58:02Not words.
00:58:04Facts.
00:58:05I've already arranged for you to be transferred to a private medical facility.
00:58:09Full treatment plan.
00:58:11The very best specialists.
00:58:12Adrian.
00:58:13And I promise you this.
00:58:16Every morning, your daughter will wake up knowing that she's cherished.
00:58:21Every decision I make, every step I take, will be to ensure her happiness.
00:58:28You really mean that, don't you?
00:58:30Yes, I do.
00:58:33Well, maybe I don't have to worry so much anymore.
00:58:37No.
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.
00:58:55I thought you were just worried about me breaking the contract.
00:59:00Riley, you have to understand something.
00:59:02I have been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
00:59:10Yes, we had a contract.
00:59:13But I realized you've become everything to me.
00:59:17Not my surrogate.
00:59:19Not my pretend fiance.
00:59:24If you're willing, would you like to forget the contract and become my real wife?
00:59:41Did she come and see you?
00:59:44Did she hurt you?
00:59:45No.
00:59:47Just...
00:59:48Wasn't she your true love? I saw you taking care of her early.
00:59:52What?
00:59:53I have nothing to do with her anymore.
00:59:55Yes, my father asked her over, but I kicked her out.
00:59:58I haven't had feelings for her since we broke up.
01:00:02Really?
01:00:11I'm not letting you go.
01:00:13Not ever.
01:00:22Surrogacy?
01:00:23Contract marriage?
01:00:26No, this is perfect.
01:00:31What 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?
01:00:43He hired her.
01:00:45She'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, we reveal everything.
01:01:02Until then, we need to find some evidence.
01:01:07And once he's ruined?
01:01:09I'll comfort him.
01:01:10Help him rebuild, of course.
01:01:13Show him who really belongs by his side.
01:01:16And Lila?
01:01:17Once the truce out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:01:20You can have your little toy back.
01:01:35Thankfully, Mr. Crawford gave me the key.
01:01:36No.
01:01:52Surrogatically moved.
01:01:56What a cool history.
01:01:59There must be some evidence somewhere.
01:02:05Adrian's always so organized where are the important documents
01:02:23Adrian is that you
01:02:31Shit
01:02:37Vivian
01:02:40Oh Adrian
01:02:41What are you doing here?
01:02:43I was just looking for you
01:02:46You know Adrian
01:02:47If 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
01:02:57It'll be our little
01:02:59Secret
01:03:02Here in the hallway
01:03:04Wherever you want darling
01:03:06What if someone sees us
01:03:08Scared
01:03:10I know someone
01:03:13Private
01:03:19Can't risk being interrupted can we
01:03:25Adrian
01:03:26Adrian
01:03:28Enjoy the storage closet
01:03:29Adrian
01:03:46How'd it go?
01:03:47Just drive
01:03:48Guessed as much
01:03:49Don't worry got a new plan now
01:03:53Dr. Anderson will tell us if there's a surrogate involved
01:03:59Everything looks perfect the baby is developing perfectly
01:04:03Really?
01:04:04Really you have officially entered the stable station
01:04:07As long as you are gentle
01:04:09Intimacy is perfectly safe
01:04:13Oh
01:04:15Listen to your buddies and then
01:04:17Thanks, thanks doc
01:04:18Thanks
01:04:29Mr. Anderson
01:04:33Let's talk about the scene Sinclair's
01:04:37Arrangement
01:04:37Was it a contract surrogacy?
01:04:40Mr. Herringham
01:04:41I can't discuss the patient information
01:04:45I hear the hospital is opening up a new wing
01:04:48It would be a shame
01:04:49It would be a shame if your name
01:04:51Mysteriously
01:04:53Disappeared
01:04:53The best
01:04:55Won't it?
01:04:59Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:11Oh my god
01:05:13Oh my god
01:05:23Surrogacy!
01:05:24Surrogacy!
01:05:27Five generations
01:05:30Fall for dignity
01:05:32All trashed by a
01:05:33Tabloid scandal
01:05:36A surrogate!
01:05:37You used a surrogate to gain the inheritance?
01:05:41If that's what you wanted Adrian
01:05:43Why didn't you just say it?
01:05:45Why drag the family's name through the mud?
01:05:48This isn't true
01:05:49It's nothing but a malicious rumor
01:05:52Don't believe everything you see in the news
01:05:56Myla and I
01:05:57We're in love
01:06:02Your lives stop here uncle
01:06:08Grandfather
01:06:08The files
01:06:09Proving their contract
01:06:11Lila isn't his fiancee
01:06:14She's just a surrogate who got hired to bear an heir
01:06:19Medical files
01:06:21Medical files
01:06:22From Crawford Fertility Center
01:06:23They show Miss Reed
01:06:26Undergoing IVF treatment
01:06:28And was generously compensated
01:06:31A surrogate!
01:06:33How vulgar!
01:06:35You dare deceive me with this filth?
01:06:38Dragging the
01:06:3912 foot name through the mud
01:06:42I'll deal with it
01:06:43Alright
01:06:44How?
01:06:46God knows what else you've schemed
01:06:49Actually
01:06:50I might have a solution
01:06:52Replace Adrian's fiancee
01:06:54With me
01:06:56Let Lila take the fall in the media
01:06:58Let Lila take the fall in the media
01:06:59She's just a desperate gold digger
01:07:01Who wants to bear an heir
01:07:03Just so she can become queen
01:07:05Shut your mouth
01:07:10Fine
01:07:13Marry Vivian now
01:07:14Or you give up your shares
01:07:16And get out
01:07:18Adrian
01:07:19I always get the man I want
01:07:25Well if he does this
01:07:26He could still get inheritance
01:07:27No rush
01:07:29Let's get them into trouble
01:07:32He's fought too hard to lose everything now
01:07:36He'll do it
01:07:38I'll give it all up
01:07:40The company
01:07:42My inheritance
01:07:45Everything
01:07:47But not Lila
01:07:49Not my wife
01:07:52The only woman I've ever loved
01:07:53And we're getting married
01:07:56Officially
01:07:58Publicly
01:08:01The company
01:08:02The company
01:08:02The company
01:08:03The company
01:08:05The company
01:08:09Cyan
01:08:09You wanna give up
01:08:11Everything for her
01:08:12Give up your inheritance
01:08:14Everything goes to Eden
01:08:18Adrian
01:08:19You're giving up your inheritance
01:08:20Just for her?
01:08:22Are you insane?
01:08:24I would never choose anything over my wife
01:08:26Not ever
01:08:28And I would never choose you
01:08:30You'll regret this.
01:08:35Go on.
01:08:37Sign this.
01:08:39Walk away from your legacy.
01:08:41So you've had this planned all along?
01:08:49Wait.
01:08:52Don't.
01:08:54I'm not worth giving up your future.
01:08:56You are my future.
01:08:58You're my future.
01:08:59You're my future.
01:09:01You're my future.
01:09:15Let's go.
01:09:26Adrian.
01:09:28Hey, what's wrong?
01:09:31Don't tell me you only love me for my CEO status and more money.
01:09:34No, I can make more money.
01:09:37You know, I'm kind of excited to be your sugar mommy.
01:09:40I always want a sugar mommy.
01:09:41I...
01:09:43Wait, yeah, I'm just going to grab somebody from the car.
01:09:45Okay.
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?
01:10:02It's simple.
01:10:04I love her.
01:10:06Not you.
01:10:08Adrian, please.
01:10:09I was wrong.
01:10:10I'm wrong.
01:10:11I don't believe me.
01:10:17Yeah.
01:10:33I don't like a ghost.
01:10:34I don't like a ghost.
01:10:35I don't like a ghost.
01:10:37I don't like a ghost.
01:10:38I don't like a ghost.
01:10:41Hey.
01:10:43Hi.
01:10:45Beautiful.
01:10:50Yeah, it is.
01:11:00Milo, were you?
01:11:02Yes, of course.
01:11:14When did you get this?
01:11:17Back when I realized I'd give up everything for you.
01:11:37How's it going?
01:11:38All right.
01:11:38Good.
01:11:39Just finished my last sketch.
01:11:42Your sugar mommy just landed another big deal.
01:11:50Yeah?
01:11:51Adrian, 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?
01:12:06We've been partners for ten years.
01:12:12Grandfather, no.
01:12:13Please don't call Adrian.
01:12:17So you want me to come back?
01:12:20I have to ask my wife.
01:12:24What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:12:30First order of business today.
01:12:34What is this?
01:12:35Starting without me.
01:12:37Perfect timing.
01:12:38I was just announcing your termination.
01:12:41The company crisis last month turns out wasn't an accident.
01:12:46Ethan deliberately sabotaged every deal.
01:12:48There's no proof.
01:12:51There's no proof.
01:12:51You misappropriated partnership funds to indulge in your own personal affairs.
01:12:55Bad 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.
01:13:17He's lying.
01:13:18It's all a lie.
01:13:21Dad.
01:13:22Either you let me handle this my way.
01:13:25Or I can still walk.
01:13:30Adrian.
01:13:37Mr. Crawford, the vote for new director.
01:13:43Competence is everything.
01:13:46I'm getting old.
01:13:48And from now on, Adrian will handle everything.
01:13:53No.
01:13:54Don't listen to him.
01:13:56Don't listen to him.
01:13:56Please.
01:13:57You're making a mistake.
01:13:59Where are you going?
01:14:02My company.
01:14:03You hear that?
01:14:04My fucking company.
01:14:05Come back.
01:14:10The baby's asleep.
01:14:13Guess that means I get you all to myself.
01:14:17Don't distract me.
01:14:19I'm almost finished.
01:14:21I'm designing my wedding dress.
01:14:23Incredible.
01:14:25I might hire you to design my tux.
01:14:29You know, I think I'm going to have to check my schedule.
01:14:33Oh, it's like that.
01:14:37I still can't believe we're getting married.
01:14:40Ever since you crashed into me at the hospital.
01:14:42I haven't been able to get you out of my head.
01:14:44And soon I'll be able to love you openly and officially for the rest of my life.
01:14:51Uh, practicing your vows?
01:14:53Yeah.
01:14:57We practice the kiss as well.
01:15:00If we have to.
01:15:14Your father said no fiance by Christmas, no inheritance.
01:15:18Do you really want to give all that up?
01:15:26Everybody, this is my new girlfriend.
01:15:30You didn't tell me your parents were this rich.
01:15:34I brought you all a basket from the Miller farm.
01:15:37A bottle.
