00:00:03Miss Reed, 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!

00:07:38You're going to be okay.
00:07:39I'm not afraid to die.
00:07:41Hey, I'm just afraid to leave you alone.
00:07:47Dad?
00:07:49Dad?
00:07:50Doctor!
00:07:51Help, please!
00:08:01A doctor, my father.
00:08:03How is he?
00:08:03The cancer has spread aggressively, without immediate treatment.
00:08:07Then treat him.
00:08:08Now.
00:08:08The full course of treatment will cost approximately $1 million.
00:08:14Aristocratic etiquette training, influencer, bachelor in economics.
00:08:19Yeah, right.
00:08:20She's underage.
00:08:21Is this the last batch?
00:08:22Yes, sir.
00:08:24The brunette asked about ring sizes.
00:08:25Blonde.
00:08:26All she asked about.
00:08:27And the redhead.
00:08:29All of them just wanted.
00:08:31Crawford name.
00:08:33But none of them are suitable.
00:08:38This one was refreshing.
00:08:43She was real.
00:08:44No schemes.
00:08:46Well, Mr. Crawford, she wasn't here for servicing.
00:08:49Sometimes the best candidates aren't looking for the job.
00:08:51Oh, my God.
00:08:53A million dollars?
00:08:54I...
00:08:55Maybe I could get a loan?
00:09:01A million dollars.
00:09:04For carrying my child.
00:09:17Hello?
00:09:18Mila Reed.
00:09:19This is Adrienne Crawford.
00:09:27This is all I was thinking about the other day.
00:09:33I think I may have been a 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 its mother.
00:10:04Why would you do that?
00:10:07You're direct.
00:10:08Honest.
00:10:09No hidden agendas.
00:10:11All it is 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.
00:10:20But just to be clear,
00:10:22you'll be parents.
00:10:24Nothing 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
00:10:38the arrangement that I suggested?
00:10:40I have my own plans.
00:10:42Hey,
00:10:42if you're thinking of using some random surrogate
00:10:46to produce an heir,
00:10:48forget it.
00:10:49The growth of name means something.
00:10:51I won't have it changed it by...
00:10:54I've already chosen my fiance.
00:10:57What?
00:10:58I will talk about it at dinner.
00:11:01I'm sorry.
00:11:03Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiance?
00:11:08Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiance?
00:11:13Didn't somebody just say...
00:11:15just parents, nothing more?
00:11:18The situation requires adaptation.
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.
00:11:31Um,
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,
00:11:42the original match is fine.
00:11:43It's just...
00:11:47I do need it soon.
00:11:51So...
00:12:19Welcome to the family, Ms. Reed.
00:12:23We were heightened.
00:12:48My whole apartment could fit in this hallway.
00:12:55Well, well.
00:12:58Missed 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.
00:13:10Followed you? No, 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.
00:13:25Now 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?
00:13:53Your filthy hands.
00:13:54Off of my fiancée.
00:13:58Fiancée?
00:13:59Uncle?
00:14:04Fiancée?
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.
00:14:15This is crazy.
00:14:18You seriously don't know.
00:14:22I won't repeat myself.
00:14:24Stay away from my fiancée.
00:14:28One more word and you can kiss your trust when goodbye.
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...
00:14:58He may have been kind of...
00:15:01My boyfriend.
00:15:03Ex.
00:15:04Ex-boyfriend.
00:15:06Very ex.
00:15:06Extremely ex.

00:15:14Where 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.

00:22:15It's just a small pinch.
00:22:16That is not small.
00:22:22It's okay.
00:22:24Over here.
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 that door.
00:23:21Mr. Crawford, are you all right in there?
00:23:26I'm fine.
00:23:28I just need some assistance.
00:23:32Oh, do you need help?
00:23:34What?
00:23:34No, wait.
00:23:35I didn't mean...
00:23:36Are you sure?
00:23:37I can come in there.
00:23:41Um...
00:23:45Okay.
00:23:47Come in.
00:23:59So...
00:24:00What the hell?
00:24:02Yeah!
00:24:02What can I...
00:24:04Oh, my God.
00:24:07You thought...
00:24:08No, no.
00:24:08I didn't...
00:24:09Um...
00:24:09I didn't...
00:24:10Um...
00:24:11I...
00:24:11Um...
00:24:12I'm...
00:24:13I'm...
00:24:14I'm gonna go.
00:24:16I'm gonna go.
00:24:17I'm gonna go.
00:24:18So far.
00:24:18Away.
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.
00:24:42It'll pass.
00:24:43I'll be okay.
00:24:44Okay.
00:24:49Here.
00:24:50This should help.
00:25:09Um...
00:25:09Well...
00:25:09The hormone shots were part of the agreement.
00:25:12So any resulting discomfort is technically a work-related issue.
00:25:17And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:27This was the first coisa number of emotions.
00:25:28So many people have checked if they don't want it.
00:25:30So we had to do something free now.
00:25:31It's getting aension for heart.
00:25:31Yes, sir.
00:25:34We had to take advantage.
00:25:34Thank you, vibration, go along.
00:25:34Authentic and Caroline.
00:25:34To do it withashing rules, support, are you, more likely?
00:25:38Today's hope is gonna die again.
00:25:38How do you need it?
00:25:40Than you prohibit, Mai?
00:25:57Purely professional care.
00:26:25Adrien, wait.
00:26:26About this weekend.
00:26:27Sorry.
00:26:27Emergency in Atlanta.
00:26:29The merger's falling apart.
00:26:30But...
00:26:31Thompson, have the jet ready in 20.
00:26:33Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:35Now you know what?
00:26:37I can do it myself.
00:26:41I don't suppose that we could expect punctuality from someone who has never owned a watch in
00:26:48her entire life.
00:26:51I introduced him to the Thompson Arons, Senator's daughter.
00:26:56I don't know why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:27:01Ethan, what did you say that she does, a fashion designer?
00:27:06Worse.
00:27:08Seamstress.
00:27:09She probably thinks having the proper family do her name will raise her to the top and then
00:27:14she can have her own fashion show.
00:27:16She's poor.
00:27:17Fine.
00:27:19But no sense of time either.
00:27:21I need to have a serious talk with Adrien.
00:27:24Probably just stinging for a wardrobe.
00:27:25Can't find something to wear.
00:27:27A fashion designer scrounging around for an outfit.
00:27:31How ironic.
00:27:32Maybe her designs are just too embarrassing to be seen in public.
00:27:36Okay.
00:27:37But seriously.
00:27:39I mean, I do pity her, right?
00:27:42Her worthless clothing and our beautiful home.
00:27:46I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:51Go get her now.
00:27:52Go get her now.
00:28:14Apologies for the delay.
00:28:24My, my, my.
00:28:26Trying hard to get the part.
00:28:30James!
00:28:31Make 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.
00:28:56How quaint.
00:28:58At 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.
00:29:29I believe that's the difference between you and me.
00:29:32I don't think everything can be bothered me.
00:29:37Excuse me.
00:29:48Stay calm.
00:29:51You got this.
00:29:52All dressed 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.
00:30:17One scream and everyone at dinner will find out what kind of a girl you really are
00:30:21and her love history.
00:30:23Oh, come on.
00:30:34Is everything okay?
00:30:36You look a bit flustered.
00:30:40As I was thinking about the rules of the merger.
00:30:45Stop it.
00:30:48Something wrong with us, 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 deserved a place in this family.
00:31:09I'm the one that told her to stay here and be with me.
00:31:18Adrian.
00:31:20If 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, quite 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 would have been blank.
00:31:42For carrying my child.
00:31:44I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:31:48Not somebody else's.
00:31:50And she's tough.
00:31:51Even after everything you did to humiliate her, she didn't walk away in anger.
00:31:55And 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 Atlanta.
00:32:14Sir, is there the murder?
00:32:17Andrew.
00:32:18Yes, sir.
00:32:32What a cutchin' story, Uncle.
00:32:35Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:32:40What are you talking about?
00:32:41Yeah.
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,
00:32:59well, set her sights higher.
00:33:02You manipulative 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.
00:33:13You're right.
00:33:14We did date for three years, but you were cheating on me.
00:33:17For two of them.
00:33:21What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:24Nudes?
00:33:29Or do you record videos?
00:33:38That was for every lie you just tried.
00:33:40You, Lila!
00:33:42How dare you, Adrian!
00:33:44Hit my son!
00:33:46How dare you, Adrian!
00:33:48Hit my son!
00:33:48Lila.
00:33:51Where do you think you're going?
00:33:52We're not finished yet.
00:33:56Yes, we are.
00:34:01Oh, I'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.
00:34:14What happened to your hands?
00:34:16Oh, I was fixing the hemline and I can get kind of clumsy with the needles.
00:34:21Lila.
00:34:22Sit down, let me have a look at that.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:28Sit down, let me have a look at that.
00:34:30Okay.
00:34:33As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:37I expect you to use them.
00:34:39I didn't want to assume.
00:34:43You're at Crawford now.
00:34:48I like it.
00:35:01Dr. Anderson.
00:35:02Mr. Crawford, the psychos 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?
00:35:12That's what I've been thinking.
00:35:14Perhaps we can approach this in a more natural manner.
00:35:19That's how it's been wrong.
00:35:26So, what do you think?
00:35:28Can't afford to let you in.
00:35:30Wow.
00:35:33Um.
00:35:34We 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.
00:35:56Mrs. Crawford, try to relax.
00:35:58Can I open up the window?
00:35:59Um.
00:36:00It might feel a little bit cold.
00:36:03Uh.
00:36:04You cold?
00:36:09The white little spot.
00:36:11Yeah.
00:36:12It's our baby.
00:36:15Really?
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.
00:37:12What?
00:37:14I'm so sorry.
00:37:30Adrian?
00:37:31Not quite.

00:43:15Thank you. It's very sweet.
00:43:17I'm sorry, you are just someone who wants Adrian's happiness.

00:43:26Oh my God.
00:43:29You two are finally back together.
00:43:30Everyone, look who's here.
00:43:33It's a golden couple.
00:43:35I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged.
00:43:39I knew it must be you, Vivian.
00:43:42It's a perfect match, just like a Harvard.
00:43:46Where's your wedding?
00:43:54Actually, I'd like everyone to meet my fiancé, Lila Reid.
00:43:59We're expecting our first job.
00:44:01And yes, you're all invited to the wedding.
00:44:08She's pregnant?
00:44:11I'm so sorry.
00:44:13I just assumed my congratulations to you.
00:44:18I want to talk to you about this.
00:44:20Marriage, you're going to be back.
00:44:30They could be so judgmental, can't they?
00:44:33Don't take it personally, dear.
00:44:43They do look like the perfect couple.
00:45:10You know, he'd do anything for her.
00:45:15You can save her from the pains of childbirth.
00:45:21Yeah.
00:45:22They've been real happy ever since she got back.
00:45:28Get it now, don't you?
00:45:31He's just using you to have a baby so that she doesn't have to.
00:45:35You're so naive.
00:45:39So I'm just a tool to have a baby?
00:45:49I don't want my fiancé thinking there's anything between them.
00:46:06What do you think you're doing?
00:46:08You're pregnant.
00:46:10Are you drinking?
00:46:11Why do you care?
00:46:13It's soda, okay?
00:46:15I know what I'm doing.
00:46:24What happened back there?
00:46:26Talk to me.
00:46:27Lila, I'm worried.
00:46:29What?
00:46:30So you'll talk to Ethan but not me?
00:46:32When you were having such a lovely chat with your girlfriend back there, did you even notice I was there?
00:46:42Lila, I'm worried about you.
00:46:45Worried about me?
00:46:46Or worried about your baby?
00:46:51Worried about me?
00:46:52Or worried about your baby?
00:46:54What's that supposed to mean, babe?
00:46:55You know, is that why you've been so nice to me?
00:46:57All of a sudden, giving me snacks and being protective?
00:47:00What?
00:47:00Because I'm carrying your child?
00:47:02Lila, why are you acting so weird since yesterday?
00:47:04Did you date Vivian?
00:47:06Yes.
00:47:06And now she wants to get back together with you?
00:47:08Yes.
00:47:09So what?
00:47:09Am I just some replacement for her?
00:47:11Is that why you were looking for a surrogate?
00:47:13Yes, I wanted a surrogate.
00:47:14But it wasn't for Vivian.
00:47:15It was...
00:47:16No, you know what?
00:47:16I get it.
00:47:17I get it.
00:47:18Follow the contract.
00:47:19Have your baby.
00:47:20Have your baby.
00:47:21Have your baby.
00:47:23Have your baby.
00:47:24Thompson.
00:47:25Sir, sorry to bother you at night.
00:47:27The Singapore merger is falling apart.
00:47:29We need you here immediately.
00:47:30I'm in the middle of something.
00:47:32I can't...
00:47:33The board is threatening to pull out.
00:47:37Okay, I'll be there.
00:47:42Lila, we need to talk about this.
00:47:45As soon as I get back.
00:47:47Sure.
00:47:48Business first.
00:47:54Sir, there have been some complications.
00:47:57Explain.
00:47:58Well, during your absence, Ethan has been meeting with board members.
00:48:00Suggestion that your sudden marriage plans may indicate that you're unstable to run the company.
00:48:04Sir.
00:48:04Several executives have questioned if somebody so personally invested could run the company.
00:48:20Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing...
00:48:23My personal life?
00:48:24Your sudden absence has...
00:48:26Let me be very clear about something.
00:48:28This company had a 40% profit loss before I took over.
00:48:34Within three years, I tripled our market share.
00:48:37Every major merger.
00:48:39Every successful acquisition.
00:48:40Every stock surge.
00:48:42My strategies.
00:48:43My execution.
00:48:48So yes, I'm getting married.
00:48:52And yes, I took some time off.
00:48:54But no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:49:01Because without me, there wouldn't even be a company to inherit.
00:49:06So now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:49:30Get out.
00:49:31Lila, there's nothing between me and Vivian.
00:49:34The surrogacy is not for her.
00:49:36I know what I saw.
00:49:37Just get out.
00:50:04Hey, Vivian!
00:50:07What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:11They're doing my job.
00:50:12Your job is to follow the family's tragedy.
00:50:16Ever since she came into your life, you've been ruining...
00:50:20You've been undermining everything that we built.
00:50:22Leave Lila out of this.
00:50:23I don't need to stand here and listen to you.
00:50:26Oh, 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, you pay her off and you'll be done with it.
00:50:46Adrienne needs someone who understands this world.
00:50:49Someone like me.
00:50:55Vivian joins Crawford Industry tomorrow.
00:50:59Non-negotiable.
00:51:01She'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 and just take it.
00:51:09That's all she's good for.
00:51:12Get out!
00:51:13Both of you!
00:51:14Get at 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 before I let either of you touch it.
00:51:26Adrienne, be reasonable.
00:51:29She is worth a thousand up here.
00:51:31Tomorrow, 9 a.m.
00:51:34Vivian starts.
00:51:35No discussion.
00:51:37Is that all?
00:51:39For now, don't disappoint me again.
00:51:43Ah.
00:51:54Stop it.
00:51:55Stop checking.
00:51:56I was independent before him.
00:51:58I didn't need someone to create a meal plan for me or hold me while I sleep.
00:52:07No.
00:52:09I'm not going to be that girl.
00:52:11I'm not going to be that girl.
00:52:13I'm not going to be that girl.
00:52:15I can work on my own.
00:52:18You know, I don't need his arrangements or his dental care.
00:52:24Just a tool for a baby.
00:52:27Ah!
00:52:35So Lila and Adrienne's relationship is on the rocks.
00:52:38Well, if it isn't the perfect opportunity to gain her trust and 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.
00:52:53Put me down.
00:52:53Put me down.
00:52:58Thank you for bringing me here.
00:53:00I know we've had our differences.
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.
00:53:40Sometimes people surprise you.
00:53:42I see.
00:53:44Adrian, I'll get the doctor.
00:53:48Adrian, I'll get the doctor.
00:53:51Adrian, I want a 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 checkup.
00:54:05I've already called Dr. Reynolds.
00:54:06She'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:54:07So bossy.
00:54:09No, some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:54:13None 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.
00:54:50If he touches you, Rick, I'll be there.
00:54:55I didn't mean to.
00:54:58But...
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.
00:55:13I 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,
00:55:27or I'll call an emergency board meeting.
00:55:35You 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 fiancee 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.
00:56:32Laila.
00:56:33Hi, Dad.
00:56:39Your hand.
00:56:40It's nothing.
00:56:44Dad, I have something I want to tell you.
00:56:49I'm having a baby.
00:56:51You're going to be a grandpa.
00:56:53Is that one of Ethan's boys?
00:56:55No, not him.
00:56:57Then who?
00:56:58It 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.
00:57:38She'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.
00:57:59Pretty 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.
00:58:42Thank you for saying all that.
00:58:47I know you were just trying to make my dad feel the hurt, 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.
00:59:00Violin, 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 realize you've become everything to me.
00:59:17Not my surrogate.
00:59:19Not my pretend fiancé.
00:59:24If you're willing,
00:59:26would 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...
00:59:48Was it she or Trevella?
00:59:50I saw you taking care of her.
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.
01:00:01Really?
01:00:10I'm not letting you go.
01:00:13Not ever.
01:00:21Surrogacy?
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.
01:00:36If 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.
01:00:46But the 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 truth's 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.
01:01:53Surrogatically moved.
01:01:56Limpical history.
01:01:59There must be some evidence somewhere.
01:02:04Adrian's always so organized.
01:02:08Where are the important documents?
01:02:22Adrian?
01:02:23Is that you?
01:02:26Is that you?
01:02:31Oh, shit.
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, if 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.
01:03:03In the hallway.
01:03:05Wherever you want, darling.
01:03:07What if someone sees us?
01:03:09Scared?
01:03:10I know someone up in your room.
01:03:13Private.
01:03:19Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:03:25Adrian?
01:03:27Adrian!
01:03:28Enjoy the storage closet!
01:03:31Adrian!
01:03:34Adrian!
01:03:46How'd it go?
01:03:47Just drive.
01:03:48Guessed as much.
01:03:50Don't worry.
01:03:51Got a new plan now.
01:03:53Dr. Andersen will tell us if there's a surrogate involved.
01:04:00Everything looks perfect.
01:04:01The baby is developing perfectly.
01:04:03Really?
01:04:04Really.
01:04:05You 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.
01:04:18Thanks, Doc.
01:04:19Thanks.
01:04:34Let's talk about the scene Sinclair's arrangement.
01:04:37Was it a contract surrogacy?
01:04:40Mr. Harrington, I can't discuss patient information.
01:04:45I hear the hospital is opening up a new wing.
01:04:48It'd be a shame if your name mysteriously disappeared.
01:04:54The best.
01:04:55Won't it?
01:04:59Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:12Oh, my God.
01:05:22Surrogacy?
01:05:24Surrogacy?
01:05:27Five generations.
01:05:30Four-fold dignity.
01:05:32All trash by a tabloid 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.
01:05:50It's nothing but a malicious rumor.
01:05:53Don't believe everything you see in the news.
01:05:56Myla and I were in love.
01:06:02Your lives stop here, Uncle.
01:06:08Grandfather, the files.
01:06:10Proving their contract.
01:06:12Lila isn't his fiancée.
01:06:14She's just a surrogate who got hired to bear an heir.
01:06:19Medical files from Crawford Fertility Center.
01:06:23They show Miss Reed undergoing IVF treatment and was generously compensated by it.
01:06:32A surrogate.
01:06:33A surrogate.
01:06:33How vulgar.
01:06:35You dare deceive me with this, filth?
01:06:38Dragging the Crawford name through the mud?
01:06:41I'll deal with it.
01:06:43All right.
01:06:45How?
01:06:45God knows what else you've schemed.
01:06:49Actually, I might have a solution.
01:06:52Replace Adrian's fiancée with me.
01:06:56Let Lila take the fall in the media.
01:06:59She's just a desperate gold digger who wants to bear an heir just so she can become queen.
01:07:05I'll shut your mouth.
01:07:10Fine.
01:07:13Marry Vivian now.
01:07:14Or you give up your shares and get out.
01:07:18Adrian, I always get the man I want.
01:07:24Now that he does this, he could still get the inheritance.
01:07:28No rush.
01:07:29Let's get the man into trouble.
01:07:31He'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.
01:07:51The only woman I've ever loved.
01:07:54And we're getting married.
01:07:56Officially.
01:07:58Publicly.
01:08:09Simon.
01:08:10You want to give up everything 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 just for her?
01:08:22Are you insane?
01:08:23I would never choose anything over my wife. Not ever. And I would never choose you.
01:08:30You'll regret this.
01:08:35Go on. Sign this. Walk away from your legacy.
01:08:41So you've had this planned all along?
01:08:49Easy, wait.
01:08:54I'm not worth giving up your future.
01:08:57You are my future.
01:08:59You're my everything.
01:09:02You and our child.
01:09:15Let's go.
01:09:17I'm not worth giving up your future.
01:09:26Adrian.
01:09:28Hey, what's wrong?
01:09:31Don't tell me you only love me for my CEO status and my 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've always wanted a sugar mommy.
01:09:41I...
01:09:43Wait, yeah, I was going to grab somebody from the car.
01:09:56What are you doing here?
01:09:58Why?
01:09:59What does she have that I don't?
01:10:01Why do you always choose her?
01:10:03It's simple.
01:10:04I love her.
01:10:06Not you.
01:10:08Adrian, please.
01:10:09I was wrong.
01:10:10Fuck.
01:10:12Fuck.
01:10:12Fuck.
01:10:14Fuck.
01:10:17Fuck.
01:10:18Fuck.
01:10:20Fuck.
01:10:21Fuck.
01:10:21Fuck.
01:10:22Fuck.
01:10:22Fuck.
01:10:23Fuck.
01:10:23Fuck.
01:10:24Fuck.
01:10:24Fuck.
01:10:25Fuck.
01:10:26Fuck.
01:10:27Fuck.
01:10:27Fuck.
01:10:28Fuck.
01:10:28Fuck.
01:10:29Fuck.
01:10:30Fuck.
01:10:31Fuck.
01:10:32Fuck.
01:10:41Hey.
01:10:43Hi.
01:10:45Beautiful.
01:10:50Yeah.
01:10:52It is.
01:11:00My love.
01:11:01Were you?
01:11:02No.
01:11:03Yes.
01:11:04Of course.
01:11:15When did you get this?
01:11:17Back when I realized I'd give up everything for you.
01:11:36How's it going out?
01:11:39Good.
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?
01:12:07We've been partners for 10 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.
01:12:49There's no proof.
01:12:50You 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.
01:13:04And...
01:13:06And it's all documented right here.
01:13:10The lawsuit's already been filed.
01:13:13What?
01:13:14You actually get this?
01:13:16No, Grandfather.
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.
01:13:38The vote for new director.
01:13:43Competence is everything.
01:13:46I'm getting old.
01:13:48And from now on...
01:13:50Adrian.
01:13:51Will 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.
01:14:26I 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, I 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.
01:14:57Can we practice the kiss as well?
01:15:00If you have to.
01:15:14Your father said, no fiancé by Christmas.
01:15:17No inheritance.
01:15:18Do you really want to give all that up?
01:15:27Everybody?
01:15:28This 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 bottom.
