00:00:03Miss Ri, your ovaries aren't doing their best lately, this could be the start of ovarian failure.
00:00:09Ovarian failure? I mean, I'm so young. Is this gonna mess with me having kids?
00:00:14I always wanted to be a mom.
00:00:16If you want a child, it's medically advisable to do so within the next six months.
00:00:21Through everything, here we stand.
00:00:25Babe, meet you at X Hotels, 3.02 at 7 p.m.
00:00:29Got 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, if someone sees this, die of embarrassment.
00:01:12Sorry.
00:01:13Are you okay?
00:01:14Yeah, 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.
00:01:38Cheating?
00:01:39Is this the big surprise you had planned for me?
00:01:44Oh, you're such a buzzkill.
00:01:47You always said you wanted to try something new?
00:01:49Come join us.
00:01:53You always said you wanted to try something new?
00:01:55Come 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.
00:02:08Sweetheart.
00:02:17You really think I'd marry you for your cheap love over legs like these?
00:02:23You 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?
00:02:42I 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.
00:03:07Well, sir, the surrogate candidates have all been vetted thoroughly.
00:03:11I mean, Ivy League graduates, impeccable health histories.
00:03:17I don't need resumes.
00:03:18I 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.
00:03:30You.
00:03:34Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:03:36Oh, um...
00:03:38Right, well, let's get started.
00:03:43Um...
00:03:43Education background?
00:03:45Excuse me?
00:03:46And I'm going to need a complete medical history.
00:03:48Family genetic conditions, mostly.
00:03:50Um...
00:03:51Do you exercise regularly?
00:03:52You look...
00:03:56Acceptable.
00:03:57Do 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 always so full of themselves?
00:04:09Um...
00:04:11Um, sir, I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:04:13I 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.
00:04:23Okay.
00:04:24What are you doing?
00:04:32I'm making sure this is...
00:04:34Thorough.
00:04:52I'm making sure this is...
00:04:55Thorough.
00:04:55That performance has never been a problem.
00:04:57Now that Thompson's gone, are you comfortable sharing yours?
00:05:01Um...
00:05:01Of course.
00:05:02Uh...
00:05:03I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:05:04Uh...
00:05:05No genetic conditions.
00:05:06I get checkups regularly.
00:05:08I even started taking prenatal vitamins.
00:05:12Good.
00:05:12I...
00:05:13I have to say...
00:05:14You're a perfect match.
00:05:16How about...
00:05:16In 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?
00:05:26Well...
00:05:28I was expecting a figure...
00:05:30Much higher than that.
00:05:32I know it's not much, but...
00:05:33You know...
00:05:35Considering the quality, and...
00:05:37And I could help out in other ways.
00:05:38I could do your paperwork, or...
00:05:41Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:05:52Are 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?
00:06:06Are you kidding me?
00:06:07You wanna keep my baby?
00:06:09My baby?
00:06:10My baby?
00:06:11Is this some kind of sick joke?
00:06:13That's standard procedure for a surrogacy agreement.
00:06:16Surrogacy what?
00:06:17Surrogacy?
00:06:18The position that you're interviewing for.
00:06:20Interviewing?
00:06:20No, I came here to buy sperm.
00:06:23You came to what?
00:06:28Oh my God.
00:06:31I?
00:06:34I...
00:06:34I thought you were a donor.
00:06:36That is why I came here asking you all those questions about your...
00:06:40Qualifications.
00:06:41And I thought you were applying to be my surrogate.
00:06:45I am...
00:06:47So sorry about all the confusion.
00:06:49I...
00:06:51I'm gonna go.

00:18:07Sorry.
00:18:08Didn't see you.
00:18:09It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:15Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancée.
00:18:19Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:22Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:35Tell me, dear, how did you meet Adrienne?
00:18:40Through mutual friends.
00:18:43Really?
00:18:44Mutual friends.
00:18:47Pray tell, what mutual friend would Adrienne possibly have in your social circle?
00:18:54Unless, of course, it was a business arrangement.
00:18:58I'm sorry.
00:19:03A girl in your position surely would have negotiated.
00:19:10The only negotiations was whether I'd take his last name or keep mine.
00:19:15Well, then.
00:19:17Next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:20You, as Adrienne's fiancée, would be expected to attend.
00:19:26Helen, I'd be honored.
00:19:28I'd be honored.
00:19:29I'm sure you can find something suitable to wear.
00:19:36Helen, make sure to take good care of your mistress.
00:19:52Excuse me, Miss Reed.
00:19:54Need to clean.
00:19:55Oh, of course.
00:19:56Let me just get my stuff out of your way.
00:20:01Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:07How creative.
00:20:09Must be harder than your family watching you change as 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.
00:20:28Sorry, I can't see you.
00:20:30Yes, you could just marry a rich man.
00:20:31You're just trash trying to climb a social ladder.
00:20:35Hey, Mr. Crawford.
00:20:39She was trying to attack me.
00:20:43I'm just trying to help.
00:20:46Get out.
00:20:46I'm sorry.
00:20:47I can't explain.
00:20:48One more word and you're fired.
00:20:49Get 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.
00:21:03Lali, you don't have to.
00:21:04Please.
00:21:07I need some time alone.
00:21:08No, you stay.
00:21:10I'll sleep on the side.
00:21:19I miss her so much, daddy.
00:21:23Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:24As long as we can get you better,
00:21:27I will let the words get to me.
00:21:29I promise.
00:21:37Lali, what happened?
00:21:41What should I do?
00:21:54How's the happy couple today?
00:22:13No worries.
00:22:14It's just a small pinch.
00:22:15That is not small.
00:22:22It's okay.
00:22:23Over here.
00:22:24It'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 correction room and use your hand.
00:22:53Okay.
00:22:54Okay.
00:22:55Okay.
00:22:57Okay.
00:22:58Okay.
00:23:01Okay.
00:23:15And pretend she's not right out that door.
00:23:20Mr. Crawford, are you all right in there?
00:23:26I'm fine.
00:23:27I just, uh, need some assistance.
00:23:32Uh, oh, do you need help?
00:23:34What?
00:23:34No, wait.
00:23:34I, I didn't mean...
00:23:35Are you sure?
00:23:36I, I can come in there.
00:23:40Um.
00:23:45Okay.
00:23:46Come in.
00:23:58So.
00:24:00Do you want to help?
00:24:01Yeah.
00:24:01What can I?
00:24:04Oh my God.
00:24:06You thought.
00:24:07No, no, I didn't.
00:24:09Um, I didn't.
00:24:10I, um, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm going to go.
00:24:15I'm going to go.
00:24:16I'm going to go so far away.
00:24:19Helpful.
00:24:34Are you okay?
00:24:36Dr. Anderson said the hormone shots might hurt a little, but...
00:24:39You're in pain.
00:24:40It's just some discomfort.
00:24:42It'll pass.
00:24:42I'll be okay.
00:24:49Here, this should help.
00:25:07um well the hormone shots were part of the agreement
00:25:12so any resulting discomfort is technically a work-related issue
00:25:15and as your employer have a duty of care

00:38:54It is not gonna happen.
00:39:05Why?
00:39:06You seem to care a lot about him.
00:39:08No, it's not like that.
00:39:11Just get some rest.
00:39:12You had a rough day.
00:39:14Why?
00:39:14Why did you choose to believe me about Ethan?
00:39:17Just...
00:39:20I know you're not like that.
00:39:24Just get some rest.
00:39:25Make yourself a home.
00:39:27Anything you need, anything you want,
00:39:29I'll be around.
00:39:29Whatever I want.
00:39:45Hmm.
00:39:48What in the...
00:39:50What are you doing?
00:39:52This is junk food.
00:39:54Like, these have zero nutritional value.
00:39:57You can't take those.
00:39:59The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:01The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:03And chips.
00:40:05And chips.
00:40:06And ice cream.
00:40:06You wouldn't deny anyone.
00:40:09I've been doing research into optimal pregnancy nutrition, okay?
00:40:13Week by week, what you should be having every day.
00:40:16I've got a meal plan, breakfast, lunch.
00:40:18How about a compromise?
00:40:21One treat per day.
00:40:23Half a treat.
00:40:24Three quarters?
00:40:32Two quarters?
00:40:35Congratulations.
00:40:37The feet have been stable and developing perfectly.
00:40:39Really?
00:40:45Everything looks wonderful.
00:40:46Now that we are in a stable period,
00:40:48I would like to discuss some prenatal care.
00:40:53Okay.
00:40:55Lie down.
00:40:57Yeah.
00:40:57I...
00:40:58I got it.
00:40:59I promise.
00:41:00I can do it myself.
00:41:04Maybe you should call the doctor.
00:41:08Yeah.
00:41:09Yeah, Dr. Anderson.
00:41:10Yeah, we're ready.
00:41:12I'm putting you on speaker.
00:41:15First, remove the clothes.
00:41:21Now, exposing your legs.
00:41:25Apply the oil and gently massage her muscles with your palm.
00:41:41You know, I'm actually feeling kind of sick.
00:41:46So, why don't we try this again tomorrow?
00:41:50And, um, I'm gonna go.
00:41:55All right, I'm gonna go.
00:41:59Yeah, sorry, Dr. Anderson.
00:42:01We might have to try this again sometime.
00:42:03Yeah.
00:42:05Bye.
00:42:16The Charity Gala isn't a test.
00:42:19Your dad requests specifically that I attend.
00:42:22And you look perfect.
00:42:35Just be yourself.
00:42:50Adrian!
00:42:51It's been so long.
00:42:54You look exactly the same.
00:43:02You look exactly the same.
00:43:04You look exactly the same.
00:43:07And you must be the fiance.
00:43:09I'm so pleased.
00:43:11Adrian's finally found someone after all this time.
00:43:15It's very sweet.
00:43:16I'm sorry.
00:43:17You are just someone who wants Adrian's happiness.
00:43:22More than anything.
00:43:26Oh, my God.
00:43:28You two are finally back together.
00:43:30Everyone, look who is here.
00:43:32The golden couple.
00:43:35I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged.
00:43:39I knew.
00:43:40It must be you, Vivian.
00:43:42The perfect match.
00:43:44Just like a Harvard.
00:43:46Where's your wedding?
00:43:54Actually, I'd like everyone to meet my fiancee.
00:43:57Lila Reed.
00:43:59We're expecting our first child.
00:44:01And yes.
00:44:02You're all invited to the wedding.
00:44:08She's pregnant?
00:44:10I'm so sorry.
00:44:12I just assumed.
00:44:14My congratulations to you.
00:44:17In order to get on.
00:44:18I want to talk to you.
00:44:19But it's.
00:44:20Marjority.
00:44:21Black.
00:44:30They could be so judgmental, can't they?
00:44:33Don't take it personally, dear.
00:44:42They do look like the perfect couple.
00:44:51Drinking.
00:44:53Thought you were pregnant.
00:44:56That's none of your business.
00:44:58Do you even know the true Adrian?
00:45:00I tell you he's someone who cares a lot about love.
00:45:03What do you want?
00:45:04What?
00:45:07Look.
00:45:10Aren't they the perfect couple?
00:45:12You know, he'd do anything for her.
00:45:15Even save her from the pains of childbirth.
00:45:20Yeah.
00:45:22They've been real happy ever since she got back.
00:45:27Get it now, don't you?
00:45:30He's just using you to have a baby so that she doesn't have to.
00:45:34You're so naive.
00:45:38So I'm just a tool to have a baby?
00:45:48I don't want my fiance thinking there's anything between it.
00:46:06What do you think you're doing?
00:46:08You're pregnant.
00:46:09What are you doing?
00:46:11Why do you care?
00:46:13It's soda, okay?
00:46:14I know what I'm doing.
00:46:23What happened back there?
00:46:25Talk to me.
00:46:27Lila, I'm worried.
00:46:29What, so 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?
00:46:53What's that supposed to mean, Amy?
00:46:55You know, is that why you've been so nice to me?
00:46:56All of a sudden, giving me snacks and being protected?
00:46:59What, because, because of carrying your child?
00:47:01Lila, why are you acting so weird since yesterday?
00:47:04Did you date Vivian?
00:47:05Yes.
00:47:06And now she wants to get back together with you?
00:47:08Yes.
00:47:08So what, am I just some replacement for her?
00:47:10Is that why you were looking for a surrogate?
00:47:12Yes, I wanted a surrogate, but it wasn't for Vivian.
00:47:15It was-
00:47:15No, you know what, I get it.
00:47:17I get it.
00:47:17Follow the contract, have your baby.
00:47:24Thompson.
00:47:25Sir, sorry to bother you at night.
00:47:27The Singapore merger is falling apart.
00:47:28We need you here immediately.
00:47:30I'm in the middle of something.
00:47:31I can't-
00:47:32The board is threatening to pull out.
00:47:37Okay, I'll be there.
00:47:42Lila, we need to talk about this.
00:47:44As soon as I get back.
00:47:46Sure.
00:47:47Business first.
00:47:54Sir, there have been some complications.
00:47:56Explain.
00:47:57Well, during your absence Ethan has been meeting with board members.
00:47:59The suggestion that your sudden marriage plans may indicate that you're unstable to run the company.
00:48:03Sir, several executives are questioning if somebody so personally invested could run the company.
00:48:20Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing-
00:48:22My personal life?
00:48:24Your sudden absence has-
00:48:25Let me be very clear about something.
00:48:28This company had a 40% profit loss before I took over.
00:48:33Within three years I tripled our market share.
00:48:36Every major merger.
00:48:38Every successful acquisition.
00:48:40Every stock surge.
00:48:41My strategies.
00:48:42My execution.
00:48:44My execution.
00:48:48So yes, I'm getting married.
00:48:51And yes, I took some time off.
00:48:53But no.
00:48:55Not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:49:00Because without me, there wouldn't even be a company to inherit.
00:49:06So now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:49:10All's evidentğı
00:49:10Yeah.٩
00:49:29T zusammen
00:49:29Have you
00:49:30ready? Get out.
00:49:30Lila,
00:49:31there's nothing between me and Vivian. The surrogacy is not for her. I know what
00:49:36I saw. Just get out!
00:50:03What?
00:50:04Adrian!
00:50:04Adrian!
00:50:07What the hell were you thinking
00:50:09at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:11Of doing my job.
00:50:12Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:50:15Ever since she came into your life,
00:50:18you've been ruining,
00:50:19you've been undermining everything
00:50:21that 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.
00:50:31We 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 fruit mare.
00:50:42Once she delivers,
00:50:43you pay her off and you'll be done with it.
00:50:46Adrian needs someone
00:50:47who understands this world.
00:50:48Someone like me.
00:50:54Yeah.
00:50:55Vivian joins Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:50:59Unnegotiable.
00:51:00We'll be with you every day.
00:51:03Just like before.
00:51:04And your little pet project.
00:51:06She can stay at home with just that.
00:51:08That's all she's good for.
00:51:11Get out.
00:51:13Both of you.
00:51:14Dare you.
00:51:15If you ever speak about my wife like that again,
00:51:18I swear I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground
00:51:21before I let either of you touch it.
00:51:25Adrian,
00:51:26be reasonable.
00:51:28She is worth a thousand up here.
00:51:30Tomorrow,
00:51:329am.
00:51:33Vivian starts.
00:51:35No discussion.
00:51:37Is that all?
00:51:38For now,
00:51:39don't disappoint me again.
00:51:43Ah.
00:51:54Stop it.
00:51:54Stop checking.
00:51:55I was independent before him.
00:51:57I didn't need someone to create a meal plan for me
00:52:02or hold me while I sleep.
00:52:07No.
00:52:08I'm not going to be that girl.
00:52:15I can work on my own.
00:52:17You know,
00:52:18I don't need his arrangements or his dental care.
00:52:24Just a tool for a baby.
00:52:25Ah.
00:52:34So Lila and Adrian's relationship is on the rocks.
00:52:38Well,
00:52:38if it isn't the perfect opportunity to gain her trust
00:52:41and trick her back to me.
00:52:43Lila.
00:52:45I'm fine.
00:52:46You're not fine.
00:52:47Hospital.
00:52:49Now.
00:52:50Put me down.
00:52:51Put me down.
00:52:57Thank you for bringing me here.
00:53:00I know we've had our differences.
00:53:04I'm like.
00:53:05Now you used to look at me like this.
00:53:08So sweet and sincere.
00:53:10No.
00:53:11Why not?
00:53:12You're telling me there's really nothing still between us.
00:53:16Ethan.
00:53:16He's using you Lila.
00:53:18Yeah,
00:53:19I know I've messed up,
00:53:20but seeing the way he treats you,
00:53:22it's tearing me apart.
00:53:27Ethan.
00:53:30Adrian, stop.
00:53:31What are you doing?
00:53:31I'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?
00:53:37I'm defending the truth.
00:53:39Adrian.
00:53:40Sometimes people surprise you.
00:53:41I see.
00:53:43Adrian.
00:53:45I'll get the doctor.
00:53:47Adrian.
00:53:52I want full blood with fetal monitoring
00:53:55and get the OBGYN down here.
00:53:58Sir, it's just a minor car.
00:54:01I want to get a complete prenatal checkup.
00:54:04I've already called Dr. Reynolds.
00:54:06She'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:54:06So bossy.
00:54:08No.
00:54:09Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:54:13One of those beach dates we used to have.
00:54:15You said I was the best.
00:54:20Thompson.
00:54:21Call in the catering.
00:54:23Yeah, the one with my specialist.
00:54:25Lila's been cravings, sir.
00:54:28Female fatty cut.
00:54:30No, what's up?
00:54:30I didn't say those.
00:54:33The prenatal vitamins I researched should arrive shortly.
00:54:35They're custom formulated for Lila flood type and genetic makeup.
00:54:45Everything's already being taken care of.
00:54:47You can defend him.
00:54:49If he touches you, Reagan.
00:54:52I'll be there.
00:54:55I didn't mean to.
00:54:56Hello?
00:54:56Good.
00:55:04Vivian was sick.
00:55:05I gave her a key and let her rest at our place.
00:55:09Overworked, they say.
00:55:10I'm cleaning up your company's mess.
00:55:13I have meetings.
00:55:15Well, 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,
00:55:26or I'll call an emergency board meeting.
00:55:34You can skip the performance, Vivian.
00:55:37It's still so cold.
00:55:40Remember the first time you bought me flowers?
00:55:43Yeah, that was a long time ago.
00:55:47Adrian, we could be that again.
00:55:52Whatever game you're playing here, it won't work.
00:55:58Get out.
00:56:00I don't want my fiance seeing you here.
00:56:04Maybe I was wrong.
00:56:06I should have trusted him.
00:56:07I should have given him a chance to explain.
00:56:13I guess some things never change.
00:56:31Laila.
00:56:32Hi, Dad.
00:56:38Your head.
00:56:40It's nothing.
00:56:43Dad, I have something I want to tell you.
00:56:48I'm having a baby.
00:56:50You're going to be a grandpa.
00:56:53Is that one of Ethan's boys?
00:56:54No, not him.
00:56:56Then who?
00:56:57It doesn't matter.
00:56:59Dad, look.
00:57:00What really matters is that this is my baby.
00:57:04And I am going to love them just like you love me.
00:57:08Oh, 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.
00:57:16If I could work.
00:57:17Dad, it's okay.
00:57:18The hospital bills.
00:57:20Where 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. It isn't like that.
00:57:30Did 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.
00:57:45I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:57:47I'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
00:57:55and our child have 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.
00:58:10The very best specialists.
00:58:12Adrian.
00:58:13And I promise you this.
00:58:15Every morning, your daughter will wake up knowing that she's cherished.
00:58:20Every decision I make.
00:58:22Every step I take.
00:58:24Will be to ensure her happiness.
00:58:27You really mean that, don't you?
00:58:30Yes, I do.
00:58:34Well, maybe I don't have to worry so much anymore.
00:58:45Saying all that, I know you were just trying to make my dad feel better, but...
00:58:48I wasn't just trying to do anything.
00:58:52Everything I said was true.
00:58:55I thought you were just worried about me breaking the contract.
00:58:59Eileen, 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.
00:59:16Not my surrogate.
00:59:19Not my pretend fiance.
00:59:23If you're willing, would you like to forget the contract and become my real wife?
00:59:39I'm being in you.
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 Treuella? I saw you taking care of her early.
00:59:51What?
00:59:52I 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?
01:00:03Take off your halo.
01:00:05You're beautiful.
01:00:07I don't care if it tears me apart.
01:00:10I'm not letting you go.
01:00:12Not ever.
01:00:14I think we're past trying to hide who we are.
01:00:21Surrogacy?
01:00:22Contract marriage?
01:00:26No, this is perfect.
01:00:31What was so urgent?
01:00:32I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you.
01:00:36If this is about Lila and my uncle...
01:00:38It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:00:41Your perfect uncle?
01:00:43He hired her.
01:00:45She's just a surrogate.
01:00:46The whole engagement is a lie.
01:00:49A contract?
01:00:53Oh, the board would love to hear about this.
01:00:58Next week's family meeting, we reveal everything.
01:01:01Until then, we need to find some evidence.
01:01:07And once he's ruined?
01:01:08I'll comfort him.
01:01:10Help him rebuild, of course.
01:01:12Show him who really belongs by his side.
01:01:15And Lila?
01:01:17Once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:01:20You can have your little toy back.
01:01:34Thankfully, Mr. Crawford gave me the key.
01:01:52Surrogatically moved.
01:01:56What a cool history.
01:01:58There must be some evidence somewhere.
01:02:00I know.
01:02:04Adrian's always so organized.
01:02:07Where are the important documents?
01:02:21Adrian?
01:02:22Is that you?
01:02:26Is that you?
01:02:30Shit!
01:02:36Vivian!
01:02:39Oh, Adrian!
01:02:41What are you doing here?
01:02:42I was just looking for you.
01:02:45You know, Adrian.
01:02:47If it's an heir you want, you can make one right now.
01:02:52Poor Lila doesn't have to know.
01:02:54She's already asleep.
01:02:57It'll be our little...
01:02:59secret.
01:03:01Here.
01:03:03In the hallway.
01:03:03Wherever you want, darling.
01:03:06What if someone sees us?
01:03:08Scared?
01:03:10I know somewhere.
01:03:13Private.
01:03:19Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:03:25Adrian?
01:03:26Adrian!
01:03:27Enjoy the storage closet!
01:03:30Adrian!
01:03:45How'd it go?
01:03:46Just drive.
01:03:48Guessed as much.
01:03:49Don't worry.
01:03:50I've got a new plan now.
01:03:53Dr. Anderson will tell us if there's a surrogate involved.
01:03:59Everything looks perfect.
01:04:01The baby is developing perfectly.
01:04:02Really?
01:04:04Really!
01:04:04You have officially entered the stable station.
01:04:07As long as you are gentle, intimacy is perfectly safe.
01:04:14I'll...
01:04:14Listen to your buddies and then...
01:04:17Thanks, Doc.
01:04:18Thanks.
01:04:28Mr. Anderson.
01:04:33Let's talk about the scene Sinclair's...
01:04:36arrangement.
01:04:37Was it a contract surrogacy?
01:04:40Mr. Harrington, I can't discuss the patient information.
01:04:44I hear the hospital is opening up a new wing.
01:04:48It would be a shame if your name mysteriously disappeared in the bathroom.
01:04:55Weren't it?
01:04:58Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:23Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:25What?
01:05:27Five generations.
01:05:30Four for dignity.
01:05:31All trash by a tabloid scandal.
01:05:35A surrogate?
01:05:37You used a surrogate to gain the inheritance?
01:05:41If that's what you wanted, Adrian, why didn't you just say it?
01:05:44Why drag the family's name through the mud?
01:05:47This isn't true.
01:05:49It's nothing but a malicious rumor.
01:05:52Don't believe everything you see in the news.
01:05:55Lila and I...
01:05:57We're in love.
01:06:02Your lives stop here, Uncle.
01:06:07Grandfather, the 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 from Crawford Fertility Center.
01:06:23They show Miss Reed undergoing IVF treatment.
01:06:28And was generously compensated.
01:06:31A surrogate? How vulgar.
01:06:35You dare deceive me with this filth?
01:06:38Dragging the 12-foot name through the mud?
01:06:41I'll deal with it.
01:06:43All right.
01:06:44How? God knows what else you've schemed.
01:06:48Actually, I might have a solution.
01:06:52Replace Adrian's fiancee with me.
01:06:55Let Lila take the fall in the media.
01:06:58She's just a desperate gold digger who wants to bear an heir.
01:07:02Just so she can become queen.
01:07:05Shut your mouth.
01:07:10Fine!
01:07:12Marry Vivian now!
01:07:14Or you give up your shares and get out!
01:07:17Adrian, I always get the man I want.
01:07:24Now that if he does this, he could still get inheritance.
01:07:27No rush.
01:07:29Let's get him 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.
01:07:46But 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.
01:08:07Yes!
01:08:08Thank you!
01:08:09You want to give out everything for her!
01:08:12Give up the inheritance.
01:08:14Everything goes to Eden.
01:08:17Adrian!
01:08:18You're giving up your inheritance just for her?
01:08:21Are 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?
01:08:49Hey, hey, wait.
01:08:54I'm not worth giving up your future.
01:08:56You are my future. You're my everything. You and our child.
01:09:14Let's go.
01:09:25Adrian.
01:09:27Hey, what's wrong?
01:09:29Mom, don't tell me you only love me for my CEO status and more money.
01:09:33No, I can make more money.
01:09:36You know, I'm kind of excited to be a sugar mommy.
01:09:39I always want a sugar mommy.
01:09:42Wait, yeah, I'm just going to grab somebody from the car.
01:09:55What are you doing here?
01:09:57Why?
01:09:58Why?
01:09:59What does she have that I don't?
01:10:00Why do you always choose her?
01:10:03It's simple.
01:10:04I love her.
01:10:06Not you.
01:10:07Adrian, please.
01:10:09I was wrong.
01:10:10I'm fine.
01:10:12I'm sorry.
01:10:14I don't know.
01:10:20I'm fine.
01:10:26I'm fine.
01:10:29It's cool.
01:10:30I'm fine.
01:10:33I'm fine.
01:10:36You're fine.
01:10:38I'm fine.
01:10:38You're fine.
01:10:40I'm fine.
01:10:41Hey.
01:10:43Hi.
01:10:45Beautiful.
01:10:50Yeah, it is.
01:10:59Lyla, were you?
01:11:02Yes, of course.
01:11:14When did you get this?
01:11:16Back when I realized I'd give up everything for you.
01:11:36How's it going?
01:11:38Good.
01:11:38Just finished my last sketch.
01:11:41I didn't hear a sugar mommy just landed another big deal.
01:11:50Yeah?
01:11:51Adrian, come back to the Crawford family.
01:11:54Come back to your position and your inheritance.
01:12:03What do you mean you're canceling the contract?
01:12:06We've been partners for ten years.
01:12:12Grandfather, no. Please don't call Adrian.
01:12:17So you want me to come back?
01:12:20I have to ask my wife.
01:12:23What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:12:30First order of business today.
01:12:33What is this?
01:12:35Starting without me.
01:12:36Perfect timing.
01:12:37I was just announcing your termination.
01:12:41The company crisis last month turns out wasn't an accident.
01:12:45Ethan, Ethan 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.
01:13:05And it's all documented right here.
01:13:09The lawsuit's already been filed.
01:13:12What?
01:13:13You actually did this?
01:13:15No, Grandpa.
01:13:17He's lying. It's all a lie.
01:13:21Dad, either you let me handle this my way, or I can still walk.
01:13:36Mr. Crawford, the vote for new director.
01:13:43Competence is everything.
01:13:46I'm getting old, and from now on, Adrian will handle everything.
01:13:53No.
01:13:54Don't listen to him.
01:13:55Don't listen to him.
01:13:56Please.
01:13:57You're making a mistake.
01:13:58Where are you going?
01:14:02My company, you hear that?
01:14:03My 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.
01:14:18I'm almost finished.
01:14:20I'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.
01:14:36I 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?
01:14:59If we 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?
01:15:26Everybody?
01:15:27This 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.
01:15:36A bottom.
01:15:37Then I'll begin.
01:15:37What?
