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!

00:18:05Ow.
00:18:07Sorry.
00:18:08Didn't see you.
00:18:10It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:16Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancée.
00:18:20Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:23Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:36Tell me, dear.
00:18:37How did you meet Adrienne?
00:18:41Through mutual friends.
00:18:43Really?
00:18:45Mutual friends?
00:18:48Pray tell, what mutual friend would Adrienne possibly have in your social circle?
00:18:55Unless, of course, it was a business arrangement.
00:18:59I'm sorry?
00:19:04A girl in your position surely would have negotiated.
00:19:10The only negotiations was whether I'd take his last name or keep mine.
00:19:15Well then, next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:20You, as Adrienne's fiancée, would be expected to attend.
00:19:26I'd be honored.
00:19:28I'd be honored.
00:19:30I'm sure you can find something suitable to wear.
00:19:37Helen, make sure to take good care of your mistress.
00:19:52Excuse me, Miss Reed.
00:19:54I need to clean.
00:19:55Oh, of course, let me just get my stuff out of your way.
00:20:02Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:07I'll create.
00:20:09It must 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!
00:20:22How a plan told me.
00:20:26Stop it!
00:20:28Really?
00:20:29I didn't see you.
00:20:30You could just marry a rich man.
00:20:32You're just trash trying to climb a social ladder.
00:20:36Hey!
00:20:36Mr. 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.
00:21:05Please.
00:21:07I need some time alone.
00:21:09No, you stay.
00:21:11I'll sleep on the salt.
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 won't let the words get to me.
00:21:30I promise.
00:21:38Lila, what happened?
00:21:42What should I do?
00:21:54How's the happy couple today?
00:22:04This is awkward.
00:22:13No worries.
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.
00:22:44It 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
00:22:52and 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, uh, need some assistance.
00:23:32Oh, do you need help?
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...
00:24:00Do you want to help?
00:24:02Yeah, what 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, um...
00:24:12I'm...
00:24:13I'm...
00:24:14I'm...
00:24:15I'm gonna go.
00:24:16I'm gonna go.
00:24:17I'm gonna go so far away.
00:24:20Helpful.
00:24:34Are you okay?
00:24:36Dr. Anderson said the hormone shots might hurt a little, but...
00:24:40You're in pain.
00:24:41It's just some discomfort.
00:24:42It'll pass.
00:24:43I'll be okay.
00:24:49Here, this should help.
00:24:58Um, well, the hormone shots were part of the agreement, so any resulting discomfort
00:25:14is technically a work-related issue.
00:25:16And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:57Purely professional care.
00:26:05Hmmm.
00:26:25Adrian, wait.
00:26:26About this weekend.
00:26:27Sorry, emergency in Atlanta. The merger's falling apart.
00:26:30But...
00:26:31Thompson, have the jet ready in 20.
00:26:33Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:35Now you know what?
00:26:37I can do it myself.
00:26:41I don't suppose that we could expect punctuality
00:26:45from someone who has never owned a watch in her entire life.
00:26:51I introduced him to the Thompson Arons.
00:26:54Senator Stalter.
00:26:55I 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
00:27:12will raise her to the top and then she can have her own fashion show.
00:27:16She's poor. Fine.
00:27:19But no sense of time either.
00:27:21I need to have a serious talk with Adrian.
00:27:23She's probably 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.
00:27:37Okay, but 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.
00:28:14Apologies for the delay.
00:28:24My, my, my. Trying hard to get the part. James, make sure none of the silver is missing after
00:28:34dinner. At least we know that Adrian's credit card is being put to good use. Although money
00:28:46can buy you designer clothing, it can't buy you a good upbringing. Actually, I made the
00:28:52dress myself. The little seamstress that you are, how quaint. At least we know who will
00:28:59be darning. Adrian sucks. You know, I wasn't brought up into wealth, but I was raised with
00:29:08something far more valuable. Integrity. Integrity. Is that what you call seducing your
00:29:15way into our family? How much? How much would it take for you to disappear? Name your price.
00:29:28Mr. Crawford, I believe that's the difference between you and me. I don't think everything
00:29:33can leave off of mine. Excuse me.
00:29:48Stay calm. You got this. All dressed up for me, baby.
00:30:00I need to get back to dinner. What's the rush? We're all family here.
00:30:07Almost family. Don't touch me.
00:30:09You used to like it when I touched you. Remember how shy you were? Always saying no.
00:30:13Let go of me, you creep. Eh? Careful now. One scream and everyone at dinner will find
00:30:19out what kind of a girl you really are and her love history.
00:30:34Is everything okay? You look a bit flustered. As I was thinking about the rules of the
00:30:42manager. Stop it. Something wrong with me.
00:30:56I don't agree. Enough. No manners. No class. I don't know how you managed to seduce my son.
00:31:04Someone like you never deserve a place in this family. I'm the one that told her to stay here
00:31:10and be with me. Adrian. If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me. You want to know how we met?
00:31:26She crashed into my life. Quite literally. She's brave. It's just a love letter in her hand. She confessed to
00:31:34me right there at the hospital. She's not into money. Even if someone dropped a million dollars at her feet,
00:31:40she would have been
00:31:40I don't think. For carrying my child. I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford. Not somebody else's.
00:31:50And she's tough. Even after everything you did to humiliate her, she didn't walk away in anger. And she's still
00:31:56here.
00:31:57I thought you were supposed to be in Atlanta. How did you...
00:32:02Sir, it's two things. First, your mother's invited Mrs. Crawford to the family dinner. Second, the daddy's ready. We can
00:32:08go now.
00:32:12Cancel Atlanta. But, but, but, but, sir, the...
00:32:15Your voice so soft and strong...
00:32:17Andrew.
00:32:18Yes, sir.
00:32:32What a cutchin' story, Uncle. Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:32:40What are you talking about?
00:32:42We've been dating for three years. See?
00:32:54So, clearly she planned all this, dated me first to get to know the family, and now, well, set her
00:33:00sights higher.
00:33:02You manipulative little...
00:33:04Face it, Uncle. You'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? Nudes?
00:33:29Or 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!
00:33:48You Lila!
00:33:51Where do you think you're going?
00:33:53We're not finished yet.
00:33:56Yes, we are.
00:34:01Oh, I'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.
00:34:15What 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 Crawford now.
00:34:48I'm blank.
00:35:01Dr. Anderson.
00:35:02Mr. Crawford, the cycles are ready.
00:35:05We can proceed with the implementation tomorrow morning.
00:35:08I see. Thank you.
00:35:10Is it something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:12So 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?
00:35:34Um...
00:35:35We should probably get some sleep.
00:35:37You know, the procedure.
00:35:41Good night, Mr. Crawford.
00:35:53Good 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 chin?
00:36:00It might feel a bit cold.
00:36:03Is it cold?
00:36:08The white little spot?
00:36:10Yeah?
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, no matter what
00:36:53it takes.
00:36:56Maybe finding the chance to get her back into my arms is the best way.
00:37:12What?
00:37:30Adrian?
00:37:32Not quite.
00:37:33You 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?
00:37:42No.
00:38:00I was just getting some food.
00:38:03Get out.
00:38:07Adrian?
00:38:10Mara.
00:38:11What's wrong?
00:38:12My stomach.
00:38:13No.
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 going to happen.
00:38:45What?
00:38:48Thompson, 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, have you?
00:39:06Why?
00:39:07You seem to care a lot about him.
00:39:09No, it's not like that.
00:39:11Just get some rest.
00:39:12You had a rough day.
00:39:15Why 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 at 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...
00:40:18Uh, 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.
00:40:54Okay, um...
00:40:56Lie down.
00:40:57Yeah.
00:40:58I...
00:40:58I got it.
00:41:00I promise.
00:41:00I can do it myself.
00:41:05Maybe you should...
00:41:06Call 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.
00:41:22Now, exposing your legs.
00:41:26Apply the oil and gently massage her muscles with your palms.
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.
00:41:56I'm gonna go.
00:41:59Yeah, sorry, Dr. Anderson.
00:42:01We might have to try this again sometime.
00:42:04Yeah.
00:42:05Bye.
00:42:16The Charity Gala is in 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.
00:42:54You look exactly the same.
00:43:03And you must be the fiancé.
00:43:10I'm so pleased.
00:43:11Adrian's finally found someone after all this time.
00:43:15It'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 Reed.
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.
00:44:15My congratulations to you, girl.
00:44:18I want to talk to you about this.
00:44:20Marriage with me.
00:44:31They could be so judgmental, can't they?
00:44:33Don't take it personally, dear.
00:44:43You two 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?
00:45:01To tell you he's someone who cares a lot about love.
00:45:04What do you want?
00:45:07Look.
00:45:11Aren't 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 it.
00:45:52You're beautiful.
00:45:54I don't care if it tears me apart.
00:45:58We couldn't let go.
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, 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, Amy?
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 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, 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.
00:47:15It was-
00:47:16No, you know what, I get it.
00:47:17I get it.
00:47:18Follow 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.
00:47:29We 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.
00:47:41Lila, we need to talk about this as 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, several executives are questioning 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.
00:48:36Every major merger.
00:48:38Every major merger.
00:48:39Every successful acquisition.
00:48:40Every stock surge.
00:48:42My strategies.
00:48:43My execution.
00:48:49So yes, I'm getting married.
00:48:52And 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.
00:49:01Because 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 Vivien.
00:49:34The surrogacy is not for her.
00:49:36I know what I saw.
00:49:37Just get out.
00:49:38What?
00:50:04Adrian!
00:50:05Adrian!
00:50:07What the hell were you thinking
00:50:09at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:11Of doing my job.
00:50:13Your job is to follow the family strategy.
00:50:16Ever since she came into your life,
00:50:18you've been ruining,
00:50:20you'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.
00:50:26Oh, 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,
00:50:43you pay her off and you'll be done with it.
00:50:46Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:50:49Someone like me.
00:50:54Yeah.
00:50:55Vivian joins Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:50:59Non-negotiable.
00:51:01We'll be with you every day.
00:51:03Just like before.
00:51:04What?
00:51:05And your little pet project.
00:51:07She can stay at home majestic.
00:51:09That's all she's good for.
00:51:12Get out!
00:51:13Both of you!
00:51:14Dare you.
00:51:16If you ever speak about my wife like that again,
00:51:18I swear I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground
00:51:22before I let either of you touch it.
00:51:26Adrian, be reasonable.
00:51:29She's worth a thousand up here.
00:51:32Tomorrow, 9am.
00:51:34Vivian starts.
00:51:35No discussion.
00:51:37Is that all?
00:51:39For now,
00:51:40don't disappoint me again.
00:51:54Stop 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 gonna 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.
00:52:35So 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 differences.
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.
00:53:17Ethan...
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...
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.
00:53:45I'll get to talk to you.
00:53:47Adrian.
00:53:53I want full blood work, fetal monitoring, and get the OBGYN down here.
00:53:59Sir, it's just a minor car.
00:54:02I want to get a complete prenatal checkup.
00:54:05I've already called Dr. Reynolds, she'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:54:07So bossy.
00:54:09No, some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:54:13Some 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, the one on the push list.
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, Reagan.
00:54:52I'll be there.
00:54:55I didn't mean to.
00:54:57Hello.
00:54:57Wait.
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.
00:56:32Laila.
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.
00:56:59Dad, look, what 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, I'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, pregnant 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.
00:58:00Pretty words from a rich man.
00:58:02Not words.
00:58:04Facts.
00:58:05I've already arranged for you to be transferred to a private medical facility.
00:58:09Full treatment plan.
00:58:11The very best specialists.
00:58:12Adrian.
00:58:13And I promise you this.
00:58:16Every morning, your daughter will wake up knowing that she's cherished.
00:58:21Every decision I make, every step I take, will be to ensure her happiness.
00:58:28You really mean that, don't you?
00:58:30Yes, I do.
00:58:33Well, maybe I don't have to worry so much anymore.
00:58:46Saying 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.
00:59:00Arlene, 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 fiancé.
00:59:21Anyway, if you're willing, would you like to forget the contract and become my real wife?
00:59:40Baby.
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 Truella?
00:59:50I saw you taking care of her early.
00:59:52What?
00:59:53I have nothing to do with her anymore.
00:59:55Yes, my father asked her over, but I kicked her out.
00:59:58I haven't had feelings for her since we broke up.
01:00:02Really?
01:00:11I'm not letting you go.
01:00:13Not ever.
01:00:15I think we're past trying to hide who we are.
01:00:22Surrogacy?
01:00:23Contract marriage?
01:00:26No, this is perfect.
01:00:31What was so urgent?
01:00:33I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you.
01:00:37If this is about Lila and my uncle...
01:00:39It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:00:42Your perfect uncle?
01:00:43He hired her.
01:00:45She's just a surrogate.
01:00:47The whole engagement is a lie.
01:00:50A contract?
01:00:54Oh, the board would love to hear about this.
01:00:58Next week's family meeting, we reveal everything.
01:01:02Until then, we need to find some evidence.
01:01:07And once he's ruined?
01:01:09I'll comfort him.
01:01:10Help him rebuild, of course.
01:01:13Show him who really belongs by his side.
01:01:16And Lila?
01:01:17Once the truce out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:01:20You can have your little toy back.
01:01:35Thankfully, Mr. Crawford gave me the key.
01:01:53Surrogatically moved.
01:01:57Medical history.
01:01:59There must be some evidence somewhere.
01:02:04Adrienne's always so organized.
01:02:08Where are the important documents?
01:02:22Adrienne?
01:02:24Is that you?
01:02:31Oh, shit.
01:02:37Vivian.
01:02:40Oh, Adrienne.
01:02:41What are you doing here?
01:02:43I was just looking for you.
01:02:46You know, Adrienne, 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 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?
01:03:22Can we?
01:03:25Adrian?
01:03:26Adrian?
01:03:28Enjoy the storage closet.
01:03:30Adrian!
01:03:45How'd it go?
01:03:47Just drive.
01:03:48Guess 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.
01:04:07As long as you are gentle, intimacy is perfectly safe.
01:04:13Oh.
01:04:15Listen to your buddies and then...
01:04:17Thanks, thanks, Doc.
01:04:19Thanks.
01:04:29Mr. Anderson.
01:04:33Let's talk about the scene Sinclair's arrangement.
01:04:38Was 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 in the best room.
01:04:55Won't it?
01:04:59Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:12Oh, my God.
01:05:23Surrogacy?
01:05:24Surrogacy?
01:05:26Surrogacy?
01:05:28Five generations.
01:05:30Four for 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, why 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.
01:06:11Lila 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 on 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 12-foot 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 if 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.
01:07:52The only woman I've ever loved.
01:07:54And we're getting married.
01:07:56Officially.
01:07:58Publicly.
01:08:09Science!
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?
01:08:49You need to wait.
01:08:54I'm not worth giving up your future.
01:08:57You are my future.
01:08:59You might everything.
01:09:02You and I are trying.
01:09:15Let's go.
01:09:39I'm not worth giving up your future.
01:09:45I'm not worth giving up your future.
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.
01:10:10I was wrong.
01:10:17I love you.
01:10:39I'll see you.
01:10:40Hey.
01:10:43Hi.
01:10:45Beautiful.
01:10:50Yeah.
01:10:52It is.
01:11:00Milo, were you?
01:11:03Yes.
01:11:03Of course.
01:11:14When did you get this?
01:11:17Back when I realized I'd give up everything for you.
01:11:37How's it going?
01:11:38Good.
01:11:39Just finished my last sketch.
01:11:41I knew a 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, please don't call Adrian.
01:12:17So you want me to come back?
01:12:20I have to ask my wife.
01:12:22I 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.
01:12:37I was just announcing your termination.
01:12:41The company crisis last month turns out wasn't an accident.
01:12:46Ethan deliberately sabotaged every deal.
01:12:48There's no proof.
01:12:51You misappropriated partnership funds to indulge in your own personal affairs.
01:12:55Bad investments, shady deals, and reckless spending have led us to financial setbacks and operational setbacks.
01:13:06And it's all documented right here.
01:13:10The lawsuit's already been filed.
01:13:13What?
01:13:14You actually 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.
01:13:36Mr. Crawford, the vote for new director.
01:13:43Competence is everything.
01:13:46I'm getting old.
01:13:48And from now on, Adrian will handle everything.
01:13:53No.
01:13:55Don'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.
01:14:13Guess 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.
01:14:24Incredible.
01:14:25I might hire you to design my tux.
01:14:29You know, I think I'm going to have to check my schedule.
01:14:33Oh, it's like that.
01:14:37I still can't believe we're getting married.
01:14:40Ever since you crashed into me at the hospital, 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.
01:15:35I brought you all a basket from the Miller farm.
01:15:37A bottle.
