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.
00:04:50Cycling.
00:04:50As for...
00:04:53Intimate matters.
00:04:55I 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.
00:05:13I have to say, you're a perfect match.
00:05:16How about in 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 agreement.
00:06:16Surrogacy what?
00:06:17Surrogacy!
00:06:18The position that you're interviewing for.
00:06:20Interviewing? No, I came here to buy sperm.
00:06:23You came to what?
00:06:29Oh my god.
00:06:32I...
00:06:33I...
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.
00:06:42And I thought you were applying to be my surrogate.
00:06:45I am...
00:06:47So sorry about all the confusion. I...
00:06:52I'm gonna go.
00:06:55A million dollars.
00:06:58For carrying my child.
00:07:04I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:07:08Not somebody else's.
00:07:13Next.
00:07:21Miss Reed, your father.
00:07:23You need to come now.
00:07:33My love.
00:07:36It's gonna be okay, dad. You'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! Please!
00:08:01A doctor, my father. How is he?
00:08:04The cancer has spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:08:07Then treat him. Now!
00:08:09The full course of treatment will cost approximately one million dollars.
00:08:14Aristocratic etiquette training.
00:08:17Influencer.
00:08:18Bachelor in economics.
00:08:19Yeah, right. She'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 red hat.
00:08:29All of them just want the Crawford name.
00:08:33But none of them are suitable.
00:08:38This one was refreshing. She was real. No 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? I...
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.
00:09:27I saw her 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.
00:09:48I could propose a modification to the original tombs.
00:09:54What kind of modification?
00:09:56Joint 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.
00:10:22You'll be parents.
00:10:24Nothing more.
00:10:25No emotional entanglements.
00:10:26No romantic expectations.
00:10:28Please don't flatter yourself.
00:10:33No other...
00:10:34No.
00:10:39No.
00:10:39No.
00:10:40No.
00:10:44No.
00:10:45No.
00:10:46No.

00:18:07Sorry, didn't see you. It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:14Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancée.
00:18:20Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:22Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:35Tell me, dear, how did you meet Adrienne?
00:18:41Through mutual friends.
00:18:43Really? Mutual 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.
00:19:17Next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:20You, as Adrienne's fiancée, would be expected to attend.
00:19:27I'd be honored.
00:19:28Wonderful.
00:19:29I'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.
00:20:28Really?
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, Mr. 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.
00:20:47I can'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.
00:21:04Lali, you don't have to.
00:21:04Please.
00:21:07I need some time alone.
00:21:09No, you stay.
00:21:11I'll sleep on the song.
00:21:20I miss her so much, daddy.
00:21:23Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:25As long as we can get you better,
00:21:28I will let the words get to me.
00:21:30I promise.
00:21:37Lali, what happened?
00:21:41What should I do?
00:21:54How's the happy couple today?
00:22:04This 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.
00:22:25Here's that.
00:22:31It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:43Mr. Crawford,
00:22:44it is your time for the sperm collection.
00:22:46Okay.
00:22:47How do we do this water prep?
00:22:49Do we need?
00:22:49No need.
00:22:50Just head to the collection room
00:22:52and use your hand.
00:22:53Okay.
00:23:15And pretend she's not right out that door.
00:23:21Mr. Crawford,
00:23:22are 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.
00:23:40Um.
00:23:45Okay.
00:23:47Come in.
00:23:48Come in.
00:24:00Do you want to help?
00:24:02Yeah.
00:24:02What can I...
00:24:04Oh, my God.
00:24:07You thought...
00:24:08No, no, I didn't.
00:24:09Um, I didn't.
00:24:10I...
00:24:11I...
00:24:12Um...
00:24:12I'm...
00:24:13I'm...
00:24:14I'm gonna go.
00:24:15I'm gonna go.
00:24:17I'm gonna go so far away.
00:24:20Helpful.
00:24:34Are you okay?
00:24:36Okay.
00:24:36Dr. Anderson said the hormone shots might hurt a little bit.
00:24:40You're in pain.
00:24:40It's just some discomfort.
00:24:42It'll pass.
00:24:43I'll be okay.
00:24:49Here.
00:24:50This 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.
00:25:16And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:28I have a duty of care.
00:25:28I have a duty of care.
00:25:29I have a duty of care.
00:25:34I have a duty of care.
00:25:36I have a duty of care.
00:25:36I have a duty of care.
00:25:37I have duty of care.
00:25:37I have duty of care.
00:25:37I have duty of care.
00:25:38I have duty of care.
00:25:38I have duty of care.
00:25:38I have duty of care.
00:25:39I have duty of care.
00:25:41I have duty of care.
00:25:43I have duty of care.
00:25:48I have duty of care.
00:25:57Purely professional care.
00:26:14Purely professional care.
00:26:40I 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.
00:27:15She's poor.
00:27:17Fine.
00:27:19But no sense of time either.
00:27:21I need to have a serious talk with Adrian.
00:27:24Probably just digging for a wardrobe.
00:27:25Can't find something to wear.
00:27:28A 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.
00:27:35Okay.
00:27:37But seriously, I 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.
00:28:12Go get her now.
00:28:14Apologies for the delay.
00:28:24My, 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 Adrian's credit card is being put to good use.
00:28:43Yes.
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.
00:28:54The little seamstress that you are.
00:28:56How quaint.
00:28:57At least we know who will be darning.
00:29:00Adrian sucks.
00:29:04You know, I wasn't brought up into wealth, but I was raised with something far more valuable.
00:29:09Integrity.
00:29:12Integrity.
00:29:12Is 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.
00:29:31I don't think everything can leave off of mine.
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.
00:30:07Almost family.
00:30:07Don'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.
00:30:33Is everything okay?
00:30:36You look a bit flustered.
00:30:40As I was saying about the rules of nature.
00:30:45Stop it.
00:30:47Something wrong with us, Reed?
00:30:57Enough!
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.
00:31:08I'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.
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.
00:31:37Even if someone dropped a million dollars at her feet, she wouldn't 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. How did you...
00:32:01Sir.
00:32:02Two 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.
00:32:13But, but, but, sir, the...
00:32:17Andrew.
00:32:18Yes, sir.
00:32:32What a touching story, Uncle.
00:32:35Too bad it's either a complete lie or...
00:32:37She's been playing us both.
00:32:40What are you talking about?
00:32:42We've been dating for three years.
00:32:45See?
00:32:54So, clearly she planned all this.
00:32:57Dated me first to get to know the family.
00:32:59And now, well, set her sights higher.
00:33:01You 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.
00:33:14We 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?
00:33:27What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:30Nudes?
00:33:31Or do you record videos?
00:33:37That 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.
00:34:02I'm sorry, I 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, sit 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 fiance, 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 a Crawford now.
00:34:47I 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. Thank you.
00:35:10What is it? Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:12That's what I've been thinking.
00:35:14Perhaps we could approach this in a more...
00:35:17natural manner.
00:35:19That sounds good.
00:35:26So, what do you think?
00:35:33Um...
00:35:35We 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.
00:35:58Can I open up the window?
00:36:00It might feel a bit cold.
00:36:04You cold?
00:36:09That 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.
00:37:01If I can't go, I can't go.
00:37:06I can't go.
00:37:06I am not happy, but...
00:37:07I can't go.
00:37:13You're so stupid...
00:37:17Could you please take your hand?
00:37:17Is that it?
00:37:19Can you please take your hand off your hand?
00:37:19I can't go.
00:37:21Dr. Crawford...
00:37:21Harry, I can't go.
00:37:25I can't go.
00:37:27No matter what you are...
00:37:29I can help her.
00:37:30Adrian?
00:37:31Not quite.
00:37:32You want my help?
00:37:35Let go of me.
00:37:36You used to like being in my arms.
00:37:38Remember all those late nights together?
00:37:41Did she?
00:37:48Remember all those late nights together?
00:37:52Did she?
00:38:00I was just getting some food.
00:38:03Get out.
00:38:07Adrian?
00:38:10My love.
00:38:11My stomach.
00:38:15If anything, anything happens to me Fionki or our unborn child, you will pay.
00:38:29You've been cheating all along.
00:38:31A few weeks with my uncle and you're carrying his child.
00:38:34You want a perfect little family?
00:38:36It is not gonna happen.
00:38:41I lost him.
00:38:45What?
00:38:49Compson, cancel all my plans.
00:38:51Everything for the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:53Sir?
00:38:54What happened?
00:38:55You need my help?
00:38:56You can't help me on this.
00:38:57Just do as I say.
00:39:00You and Ethan, you've never gotten along.
00:39:03Have you?
00:39:06Why?
00:39:06You seem to care a lot about him.
00:39:09No, it's not like that.
00:39:11Just get some rest.
00:39:13You had a rough day.
00:39:14Why did you choose to believe me about Ethan?
00:39:17Just...
00:39:19Just...
00:39:20I know you're not like that.
00:39:24Just get some rest.
00:39:26Make yourself a home.
00:39:27Anything you need, anything you want, I'll be around.
00:39:30Whatever I want?
00:39:48What in the...
00:39:50What are you doing?
00:39:52This is junk food.
00:39:55Like, these have zero nutritional value.
00:39:58You can't take those.
00:40:00The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:02The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:04And chips.
00:40:05And chips.
00:40:06And ice cream.
00:40:07You wouldn't deny anyone.
00:40:10I've been doing research into optimal pregnancy nutrition, okay?
00:40:14Week by week, what you should be having every day.
00:40:16I've got a meal plan, breakfast, lunch...
00:40:18Okay, okay.
00:40:18Uh, how about a compromise?
00:40:22One treat per day.
00:40:23Half a treat.
00:40:25Three quarters?
00:40:25Two quarters?
00:40:35Congratulations.
00:40:37The feet have been stable and developing perfectly.
00:40:40Really?
00:40:45Everything looks wonderful.
00:40:47Now that we are in a stable period,
00:40:49I would like to discuss some prenatal care.
00:40:54Okay.
00:40:56Lie down.
00:40:57Yeah.
00:40:58I got it.
00:41:00I can do it myself.
00:41:05Maybe you should call the doctor.
00:41:08Yeah.
00:41:09Yeah, Dr. Anderson.
00:41:11Yeah, we're ready.
00:41:12I'm putting you on speaker.
00:41:16First, remove the clothes.
00:41:21Now, exposing your legs.
00:41:26Apply the oil and gently massage her muscles with your palm.
00:41:42You know, I'm actually feeling kind of sick.
00:41:47So, why don't we try this again tomorrow?
00:41:50And, um, I'm gonna go.
00:41:55I'm gonna go.
00:41:59Uh, sorry, Dr. Anderson.
00:42:01We might have to try this again sometime.
00:42:03Yeah, thank you.
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.
00:42:37Just be yourself.
00:42:50Adrian!
00:42:51It's been so long.
00:42:55You look exactly the same.
00:43:03You look exactly the same.
00:43:07And you must be the fiancé.
00:43:10I'm so pleased.
00:43:11Adrian's finally found someone after all this time.
00:43:15That's very sweet.
00:43:17I'm sorry, you are...
00:43:18Just someone who wants Adrian's happiness.
00:43:22More than anything.
00:43:26Oh, my God.
00:43:29You two are finally back together.
00:43:30Everyone, look who is here.
00:43:33The golden couple.
00:43:35I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged.
00:43:39I knew.
00:43:40It must be you, Vivian.
00:43:42It's a perfect match.
00:43:44Just like a harvard.
00:43:46Where's your wedding?
00:43:54Actually, I'd like everyone to meet my fiancé.
00:43:58Lila Reid.
00:43:59We're expecting our first child.
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.
00:44:15My congratulations to you.
00:44:18I want to talk to you.
00:44:20Marginally black.
00:44:30They could be so judgmental, can't they?
00:44:33Don't take it personally, dear.
00:44:42I do look like the perfect couple.
00:44:51Drinking.
00:44:53I thought you were pregnant.
00:44:56That's none of your business.
00:44:58Do you even know the true Adrian?
00:45:01I tell you, he's someone who cares a lot about love.
00:45:04What do you want?
00:45:07Look.
00:45:11Are they the perfect couple?
00:45:13You know, he'd do anything for her.
00:45:15Even 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 fiance thinking there's anything between them.
00:46:06What do you think you're doing?
00:46:08You're pregnant.
00:46:10Why are 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, so you'll talk to Ethan but not me?
00:46:32When you were having such a lovely chat with your girlfriend back there,
00:46:36did 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 protected?
00:47:00What, because of 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, am I just some replacement for her?
00:47:11Is that why you were looking for a surrogate?
00:47:13Yes, I wanted a surrogate, but it wasn't for Vivian.
00:47:16No, you know what, I get it.
00:47:18Follow the contract, have your baby.
00:47:24In turn, in turn...
00:47:25Sir, sorry to bother you at night.
00:47:27The Singapore merger is falling apart.
00:47:29We need you here immediately.

00:50:04Adrian!
00:50:07What the hell were you thinking at 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, you'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.
00:50:26Oh, run along. The adults are talking business now.
00:50:30Don't worry, dear. We just need to borrow him for a moment.
00:50:33Business matters. Who 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.
00:50:46Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:50:50Someone like me.
00:50:55Vivian joins Crawford Industries 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 with just that.
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,
00:51:19I swear I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground
00:51:22before I let either of you touch it.
00:51:25Adrian, be reasonable.
00:51:29She is worth a thousand up here.
00:51:32Tomorrow, 9am.
00:51:34Vivian starts.
00:51:35No discussion.
00:51:37Is that all?
00:51:39For now, don't disappoint me again.
00:51:54Stop it! Stop checking!
00:51:56I was independent before him.
00:51:58I didn't need someone to create 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 arrangements or his dental care.
00:52:24Just a tool for a baby.
00:52:27Ah!
00:52:34So Lila and Adrian's relationship is on the rocks.
00:52:38Well, if it isn't the perfect opportunity to 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!
00:52:58Thank you for bringing me here.
00:53:00I know we've had our...
00:53:05I'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 I have to surprise you.
00:53:42I see.
00:53:44Adrian.
00:53:45I'll get the doctor.
00:53:47Adrian.
00:53:53I want full blood work, fetal monitoring, and get the OBGYN down here.
00:53:59So, it's just a minor cough.
00:54:02I want to get a complete prenatal check-up.
00:54:05I've already called Dr. Reynolds, she'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:54:07So bossy.
00:54:09Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:54:13One of those beach dates we used to have.
00:54:16You said I was the best.
00:54:20Thompson.
00:54:21Call in the catering.
00:54:23Yeah, they're one of the questions.
00:54:26Lila's been cravings, so...
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 take-up.
00:54:46Everything's already being taken care of.
00:54:48You can defend him.
00:54:50If he touches you, Reagan.
00:54:52I'll be there.
00:54:55I didn't mean to.
00:54:57Hello?
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,
00:55:27or I'll call an emergency board 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.
00:56:31Lila!
00:56:33Hi, 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, not him.
00:56:57Then who?
00:56:58It doesn't matter.
00:56:59Dad, 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, it 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.
00:57:45I'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 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.
00:58:34Well, maybe I don't have to worry so much anymore.
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.
00:59:00Eileen, 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?
00:59:39I'm being in your room.
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? I 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? Contract 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? He hired her.
01:00:45She's just a surrogate.
01:00:46The whole engagement is a lie.
01:00:49A 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.
01:01:52Surrogately moved.
01:01:56Wonderful history.
01:01:59There must be some evidence somewhere.
01:02:01I know.
01:02:04Adrian's always so organized.
01:02:07Where are the important documents?
01:02:21Adrian?
01:02:23Is that you?
01:02:26Adrian?
01:02:30Is that you?
01:02:30Shit.
01:02:32What?
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, you 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 secret.
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 somewhere.
01:03:13Private.
01:03:19Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:03:25Adrian?
01:03:27Adrian!
01:03:28Enjoy the storage closet.
01:03:30Adrian!
01:03:46How'd it go?
01:03:47Just drive.
01:03:48Guessed as much.
01:03:50Don't worry.
01:03:51I've got a new plan now.
01:03:53Dr. Anderson 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.
01:04:08As long as you are gentle, intimacy is perfectly safe.
01:04:13Oh.
01:04:15Listen to your buddies and then...
01:04:17Thanks, Doc.
01:04:18Thanks.
01:04:28Mr. Anderson.
01:04:34Let's talk about Lucene Sinclair's arrangement.
01:04:38Was it a contract surrogacy?
01:04:40Mr. Herringham, I can't discuss patient information.
01:04:45I hear the hospital is opening up a new wing.
01:04:48It would be a shame if your name mysteriously disappeared from the best.
01:04:55Won't it?
01:04:55What?
01:04:59Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:12Oh, my God.
01:05:15Oh, my God.
01:05:29My God.
01:05:32Mr. You are the right at this time.
01:05:33I am the left at this time.
01:05:35Mr. Herringham, Mr. Herringham.
01:05:39The Englishman, Mr. Herringham, The Americanian, Mr. Herringham.
01:05:46name through the mud. This isn't true. It's nothing but a malicious rumor. Don't
01:05:53believe everything you see in the news. Lila and I, we're in love.
01:06:02Your lives stop here, Uncle.
01:06:08Grandfather, the files. Proving their contract. Lila isn't his fiance. She's just a surrogate
01:06:16who got hired to bear an heir. Medical files from Crawford Fertility Center. They show
01:06:25Ms. Reed undergoing IVF treatment and was generously compensated. A surrogate. How vulgar.
01:06:35You dare deceive me with this filth? Dragging the Crawford name through the mud? I'll deal
01:06:42with it. All right. How? God knows what else you've schemed. Actually, I might have a solution.
01:06:52Replace Adrian's fiance with me. Let Lila take the fall in the media. She's just a desperate
01:07:00gold digger who wants to bear an heir just so she can become queen.
01:07:05Shut your mouth.
01:07:10Fine. Marry Vivian now. Will you give up your shares and get out?
01:07:18Adrian, I always get the man you want.
01:07:24Mother, if he does this, he could still get inheritance.
01:07:27No rush. Let's get the man you need to trouble. He's fought too hard to lose everything now.
01:07:36He'll do it.
01:07:38I'll give it all up. The company. My inheritance. Everything. But not Lila. Not my wife. The only
01:07:52woman I've ever loved. And we're getting married. Officially. Publicly.
01:08:09Say it! You want to give up everything for her! Give up your inheritance. Everything goes to Eden.
01:08:18Adrian! Adrian! You're giving up your inheritance just for her? Are you insane?
01:08:24I 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?
01:08:50Hey, hey, hey, wait.
01:08:53Don't. I'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.
01:09:14Let'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've always wanted 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?
01:10:03It's simple.
01:10:04I love her.
01:10:07Not you.
01:10:08Adrian, please.
01:10:09I was wrong.
01:10:11I don't know.
01:10:12I don't know.
01:10:14I don't know.
01:10:15I don't know.
01:10:15I don't know.
01:10:15I don't know.
01:10:45It's beautiful.
01:10:51Yeah.
01:10:52It is.
01:11:00Milo, were you?
01:11:02Yes.
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?
01:11:38Good.
01:11:39Just finished my last sketch.
01:11:41When you were 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 10 years.
01:12:12Grandfather, no.
01:12:13Please don't call Adrian.
01:12:17I don't know.
01:12:18I don't know.
01:12:18I don't know.
01:12:19I don't know.
01:12:20I don't know.
01:12:21I don't know.
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.
01:13:05And, and it's all documented right here, the lawsuit's already been filed.
01:13:13What?
01:13:14You actually did this?
01:13:16No, Grandfather.
01:13:17He's lying.
01:13:18It's all a lie.
01:13:21Dad, either you let me handle this my way, or 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, and 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, you hear that?
01:14:04My fucking company.
01:14:05Come back.
01:14:10The baby's asleep.
01:14:13I guess 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 we have to.
01:15:14Your father said, no fiancé by Christmas, no inheritance.
01:15:19Do you really want to give all that up?
01:15:27Everybody, 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 bottom.
