✍Synopsis:
Okay, I'll be honest — I wasn't sure about this one at first, but Marry Me Twice Mr. Grant pulled me in way faster than I expected.
The setup is classic: contract marriage between the female lead and Vince Grant, a composed CEO who runs a business empire. But here's where it gets interesting — he actually treats her well. Like, genuinely well. For the first time in her life, she's being protected instead of controlled.
Then the contract ends. She's forced back into her abusive family, and a new arranged marriage is already in the works. She escapes, but a car accident brings her and Vince back together. And then she finds out she's pregnant. Vince realizes he never should've let her go, and now he's fighting to win her back.
It's messy, it's emotional, and the "all-too-late" regret from Vince is everything.
**✨ What actually worked for me:**
This one works because Vince isn't the villain. He's not toxic, he's not controlling — he's just a man who made a mistake and spends the rest of the story trying to fix it. The pregnancy reveal adds real stakes, the car accident brings them back together at exactly the right moment, and the ending is earned. Kirby Ellwood and Marc Herrmann have great chemistry. ReelShort's been quietly delivering some solid second-chance romances lately — this one's a standout.
Tell me I'm not the only one who wanted Vince to fight harder sooner. Drop a comment ❤️

00:05You
00:05So where'd you get in the divorce
00:08Nothing
00:10He paid off our debt when we got married. He doesn't know us anything you useless idiot
00:16Cassian Bain had a thing for you. He's now some manager with Grant group subsidiary if you can't keep Vince
00:23Grant
00:25Aim lower
00:26I've already set up a meeting. It's your next meal ticket while you're young enough to do anything good for
00:32us
00:32but I just got divorced and
00:35This is my house. My word is law and remember something your mother's company
00:42Is still in my hands
00:44You know what? Why don't you just get your shit?
00:49And get out
00:53Ah
00:59Oh
01:00Know your place and stay outside like a good little watchdog
01:18Oh
01:20I love you guys.
01:22Vince, if things were different, you'd be here keeping me safe.
01:25Giving me a home.
01:40Um, let me...
01:41Thanks.
01:42Here.
01:45For a moment, it felt like the weight of the world was lifted off my feet.
01:55Miss Blake, this is the last day of our contract marriage.
01:59Thank you for your cooperation this past year.
02:02Mr. Grant, our marriage was a mutually beneficial agreement.
02:06No feelings, no complications, no drama.
02:09This was our deal from the beginning.
02:11Why do I feel so much pain?
02:18Miss Blake, I'd need a marriage in order to fulfill my grandfather's last wish.
02:24And I need money to help save my mom's company.
02:26Very well.
02:28Um, as you'll see in the terms, this arrangement is strictly confidential.
02:32There will be no complications, no feelings, no...
02:35No drama.
02:36I read it twice, actually. I get it. It's very simple.
02:41Deal?
02:44Deal.
02:51For one year in this platonic marriage, my husband gave me everything.
02:56I know that you say I don't owe you anything, but if you ever need my help, anything at all,
03:00just ask.
03:01I'd do anything for you, Nara.
03:03Hmm?
03:04You are...
03:06You once were my wife.
03:09And I know that this agreement was confidential.
03:12So don't worry, I will take our secret to the grave.
03:20Bye.
03:32Don't be silly. You knew that he was never going to fall for you.
03:40Is this the end of us?
03:52You became everything I ever wanted in a man who could ever compare.
04:03Then...
04:04Vince and I got divorced.
04:09Ah!
04:10Useless!
04:11A whole year!
04:13And you couldn't even lock him down.
04:15He's Vince Grant.
04:17One word from him, and our debt is cleared.
04:20But you just let him.
04:21Walk away!
04:22If only we'd have sent Amber.
04:24They would have had babies by now.
04:27Honey, I tried.
04:28But the old man specifically asked for her.
04:32So, where'd you get in the divorce?
04:35Nothing.
04:37He paid off our debt when we got married.
04:39He doesn't owe us anything.
04:40You useless idiot.
04:43Cassie and Bane had a thing for you.
04:45He's now some manager with Grant Group subsidiary.
04:49If you can't keep Vince Grant, aim lower.
04:53I've already set up a meeting.
04:55Get your next meal ticket while you're young enough to do anything good for us.
04:59But I just got divorced.
05:01Ann, this is my house.
05:04My word is law.
05:06And remember something.
05:07Your mother's company is still in my hands.
05:11You know what?
05:12Why don't you just get your shit?
05:16And get out.
05:26Now get out.
05:27Know your place.
05:28And stay outside.
05:29Like a good little watchdog.
05:46I love you guys.
05:49Vince, if things were different, you'd be here keeping me safe, giving me a home.
06:07Um, let me...
06:08Thanks.
06:09Here.
06:12For a moment, it felt like the weight of the world was lifted off my feet.
06:28Take this brown sugar candy.
06:32It'll help with your period cramps.
06:38I never imagined someone of his stature would do these little things for me.
06:44And for the first time, I know what it feels like to be loved.
06:48But I can't hold on to that anymore.
06:52Someone like me doesn't deserve a love like that.
06:58Agnes, do you know where my black cufflinks are?
07:01Oh, I'm sorry, sir. Miss Blake is the one who organized all your things this past year.
07:06I see.
07:26I really need to take this.
07:31Mr. Grant.
07:33Sorry to bother you.
07:35My black cufflinks?
07:36It's in a box on your desk by your watches and glasses.
07:39It's in the bottom drawer.
07:40Yeah, you'll find all your favorite cufflinks there.
08:00Hey.
08:01You okay?
08:02Yeah.
08:03I just...
08:04I had to go to the bathroom and I bumped into something in the dark.
08:11Vince?
08:13What are you doing?
08:15I'm installing a motion sensor light so you don't bump into anything else in the dark.
08:20Oh.
08:20Yeah.
08:21Oh!
08:29I don't know how helpful it's gonna be. I'm still pretty clumsy.
08:46Did Nora forget her bracelet?
08:54I'm so sorry.
08:58You're mine.
08:59You're with me.
09:00You don't answer phone calls.
09:01You got that?
09:06Back to business.
09:08Yeah, I used to like you, but then you went and married someone else.
09:11Now that you've been, uh, kicked to the curb, luckily you still got that figure.
09:17And your family, pretty well off, so I will consider marrying you.
09:22Mr. Vane, I think I...
09:23Zip it!
09:24I am talking here.
09:26You should thank your lucky stars that I am even considering you.
09:31I mean, there's no way your ex-husband was better than me.
09:34What did he ditch you?
09:36Anyway, find a side chick?
09:38No, he was a good man.
09:40I said never, ever mention other men in front of me.
09:44Ever!
09:45There's a high society event tomorrow.
09:49He'll come with me.
09:50Clean yourself up.
09:56Don't embarrass me.
10:03I won't be like my mom.
10:05And I won't give up on life for something as silly as love.
10:09I've fallen for a gentleman like Vince Grant.
10:12And anyone else is settling for less.
10:15And if I'm going to marry, I may as well pick someone I'll never love.
10:26For a while...
10:26A treat from The Grant Company?
10:28Exclusive single origin beam?
10:30Oh.
10:30Please enjoy.
10:31Grant group?
10:33Yes.
10:34The Grands.
10:35Ever heard of them?
10:36Their word is law in this city.
10:40And they own the company I work for now.
10:44Mr. Vane, who is that?
10:47I don't believe we've met before.
10:50My fiancé.
10:52Family's idea.
10:53Decent background.
10:54Decent fit.
10:56Except she's a divorcee.
10:59Aw, Mr. Vane.
11:01She already suits you.
11:02How sweet of you to include her.
11:10Grant, the state's first batch of Yurga Chef beans for the year.
11:13Your dream come true?
11:15I had it flown in on a charter flight.
11:17Personal, overnight, international, just for you to sample.
11:25Hmm.
11:29Clear notes of lemon and orange blossom.
11:34And my...
11:37Jasmine.
11:38Yeah?
11:39Blooming underneath.
11:50You know we're not really husband and wife.
11:53Right?
11:54I mean, these beans are really hard to source, especially at this time of year, and you really
11:58don't have to go that far.
12:00I don't want you to make being Mrs. Grant your job.
12:03Now, you've dreamed of being the best barista, and I want to help make that happen.
12:06Even if I only have one year.
12:13What are you spacing out for?
12:17Everyone, please welcome our guests of honor.
12:23Vince Grant, head of the Grant family, and Miss Claire, who's just returned from her post
12:31at the Geneva Institute of Private Wealth.
12:42Thanks.
12:44Mr. Grant never brings a date to these parties.
12:48Oh, she's gotta be the one for him.
12:50So beautiful.
12:52So elegant.
12:56Aren't you supposed to be some kind of well-bred heiress?
13:00I mean, look at you.
13:01You look like a lost little child.
13:07Mr. Grant!
13:09Cassian Vane.
13:11Sales lead at one of your subsidiaries.
13:13Mr. Vane.
13:14This is my welcome home party, but you don't seem to be here for me.
13:20Of course I am.
13:22I was just waiting on my date.
13:30Ladies first, right?
13:33Nora?
13:34Nora Blake.
13:35Eldest daughter of the Blake family.
13:37And my fiancée.
13:39Fiancée?
13:42I am.
13:43Oh, Aster.
13:45This place, it isn't for you.
13:50I think I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
13:56Women are so fussy.
13:59You can shut up now.
14:07Ryan, go buy something for me.
14:12Dammit.
14:13My period just had to start now.
14:24What now?
14:25You have more trouble?
14:26Hey, Cassian, can you please get me?
14:28I'm busy.
14:28Oh, I'm busy.
14:51Vince.
14:52Running about when you're on your period.
14:54I'm just with a friend.
14:57I'm just with me.
15:05You mean that man just now?
15:08I mean, he called you his fiancée.
15:11Is it true?
15:16Look, he works beneath me.
15:18Smooth talker, empty words.
15:20Doesn't respect you either.
15:21You deserve better.
15:24We're not married anymore, okay?
15:26You don't have to look out for me.
15:28You were once in my life.
15:31I can't just stand back and watch you ruin your life.
15:37Vince.
15:40Vince, what are you doing here?
15:42Father's waiting for you.
15:49Of course, she's already met the parents.
15:53Perfect for each other.
15:54I don't know what I was thinking.
15:59I'm on the way home.
16:01Get your own ride.
16:17Your boyfriend is very thoughtful.
16:23He's not my boyfriend.
16:29He's not my boyfriend.
16:51You were once in my life.
16:52I can't just watch you ruin your life.
16:58Laura, don't forget why mom died.
17:01Love is a luxury someone like you can't afford.
17:09So, how'd the party go?
17:11Cassian, is he in or out?
17:13I think he's a bad person.
17:17Listen, I already lost my chance to get in with Vince Grant.
17:20Marrying Cassian is the least you can do for me.
17:24I already married someone once.
17:26For you, for your company.
17:32You don't get to tell me no.
17:34You don't get to tell me no.
17:35I don't get to tell you no.
17:37Fine.
17:39Kill me.
17:39Kill me like you killed my mother.
17:42And the Blake family helped me.
17:43Oh, fuck.
17:46Say it again.
17:48I dare you.
17:54Your mother killed herself.
17:58The company is scraping by because of me.
18:05I'm going to marry Cassian, or I swear you're going to watch it crash and burn.
18:29Did you see that, mom?
18:31The man you gave your life to?
18:33Just trampling over your life's work.
18:36He's trying to force me to do what he wants.
18:41But I promised myself that I would save your company.
18:45And I'm going to live, no matter what it takes.
19:00You left something.
19:02Let's meet when you're free.
19:04I cleaned your suit, too.
19:06I'll bring it.
19:12Mom, what am I going to do?
19:14I think I still love my ex-husband.
19:23How have you been?
19:25You've lost weight.
19:27You said you brought my jacket?
19:30Yeah.
19:44God, why are you so on edge?
19:47You were never like this before.
19:49Yeah.
19:50Is someone harassing you?
19:52No.
19:55Do you really have to marry Cassian?
19:58He just has a bit of a short temper.
20:02That's it.
20:03There's really nothing to worry about.
20:05How can I not?
20:06He insults you in front of strangers.
20:08He doesn't show you basic respect.
20:12Are you sure that that's the life that you want?
20:15Well, I have to at least try.
20:17Vince, you don't understand.
20:18The life I want is with you.
20:20And I love you too much to be with you.
20:23She's already started a new life.
20:25If this is what you want, I'll stop bothering you.
20:28So you said that I left something behind?
20:32If I keep your bracelet, would it be an excuse to see you again?
20:38I was mistaken.
20:41You know I have transferred $10 million into your account.
20:45You can spend it however you'd like.
20:48No, no, we were divorced.
20:51No, I know.
20:52But you kept refusing the alimony that I offered, so...
20:56I want you to have the freedom to chase your dreams.
20:59Look, how's this?
21:00One year.
21:02If you're well off and you don't need the money, you can return it.
21:05But don't turn it down for now.
21:07Please?
21:08Please.
21:11Okay.
21:21Well, I should probably get going.
21:24Cassini's gonna pick me up soon, and we're gonna go see my dad and talk about the wedding.
21:36And, um, now that we're divorced, I don't really think we should see each other anymore.
22:05What the...
22:32Nora, go marry him.
22:39Nora, go marry him.
23:07Why do I feel so much pain?
23:14Miss Blake, I'd need a marriage in order to fulfill my grandfather's last wish.
23:19And I need money to help save my mom's company.
23:22Very well.
23:24As you will see in the terms, this arrangement is strictly confidential.
23:27There will be no complications, no feelings, no...
23:31I read it twice, actually. I get it. It's very simple.
23:36Deal?
23:39Deal.
23:39Deal.
23:46For one year in this platonic marriage, my husband gave me everything.
23:51I know that you say I don't owe you anything.
23:53But if you ever need my help, anything at all, just ask.
23:56I'd do anything for you, Nora.
23:58You are...
24:01You once were my wife.
24:03And I know that this agreement was confidential.
24:06So don't worry, I will take our secret to the grave.
24:14Bye.
24:26Don't be silly.
24:27You knew that he was never going to fall for you.
24:33Is this the end of us?
24:45You became everything I ever wanted in a man who could ever compare.
24:56Then, Vince and I got divorced.
25:03Useless!
25:04A whole year!
25:05And you couldn't even lock him down.
25:08He's Vince Grant.
25:09One word from him, and our debt is cleared.
25:12But you just let him walk away!
25:14If only we'd have sent Amber.
25:17They would have had babies by now.
25:19Honey, I tried.
25:20But the old man specifically asked for her.
25:24So, where'd you get in the divorce?
25:27Nothing.
25:28He paid off our debt when we got married.
25:31He doesn't owe us anything.
25:32You useless idiot.
25:34Cassian Bane had a thing for you.
25:36He's now some manager with Grant Group subsidiary.
25:40If you can't keep Vince Grant, aim lower.
25:45I've already set up a meeting.
25:46Get your next meal ticket while you're young enough to do anything good for us.
25:50But I just got divorced.
25:52Ann, this is my house.
25:55My word is law.
25:57And remember something.
25:58Your mother's company is still in my hands.
26:02You know what?
26:03Why don't you just get your shit and get out?
26:16Know your place and stay outside like a good little watchdog.
26:36Oh, love you guys.
26:38Vince, if things were different, you'd be here keeping me safe.
26:42Giving me home.
26:56Um, let me...

26:58Here.
27:01For a moment, it felt like the weight of the world was lifted off my feet.

27:36But I can't hold on to that anymore.
27:40Someone like me doesn't deserve a love like that.
27:46Agnes.
27:47Do you know where my black cufflinks are?
27:49Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
27:50Miss Blake is the one who organized all your things this past year.
27:54I see.
28:13I really need to take this.
28:18Mr. Grant.
28:19Sorry to bother you.
28:21My black cufflinks?
28:23It's in a box on your desk by your watches and glasses.
28:25It's in the bottom drawer.
28:26Yeah, you'll find all your favorite cufflinks there.
28:46Hey.
28:47You okay?
28:48Yeah.
28:49I just...
28:49I had to go to the bathroom and I bumped into something in the dark.
28:57Vince?
28:58What are you doing?
29:00I'm installing a motion sensor light so you don't bump into anything else in the dark.
29:05Oh.
29:05Yeah.
29:07Oh!
29:13Um.
29:14I don't know how helpful it's gonna be.
29:16I'm still pretty clumsy.
29:19I'm still pretty clumsy.
29:31Did Nora forget her bracelet?
29:39I'm so sorry.
29:42You're mine.
29:43You're with me.
29:44You don't answer phone calls.
29:46You got that?

30:20Find a side chick?
30:21No, he was a good man.
30:23I said never, ever mention other men in front of me.
30:27Ever.
30:28It was a high society event tomorrow.
30:31He'll come with me.
30:33Clean yourself up.
30:39Don't embarrass me.
30:45I won't be like my mom.
30:47And I won't give up on life for something as silly as love.
30:51I've fallen for a gentleman like Vince Grant.
30:54And anyone else is settling for less.
30:57And if I'm going to marry, I may as well pick someone I'll never love.
31:07A treat from the Grant Company.
31:10Exclusive single origin beam.
31:11Please enjoy.
31:13Grant group.
31:14Yes.
31:15The Grants.
31:16Ever heard of them?
31:18Their word is law in this city.
31:21And they own the company I work for now.
31:25Mr. Vane.
31:27Who is that?
31:28I don't believe we've met before.
31:31My fiancé.
31:32Family's idea.
31:34Decent background.
31:35Decent fit.
31:37Except she's a divorcee.
31:40Aw.
31:40Mr. Vane.
31:42Charity suits you.
31:43How sweet of you to include her.
31:50Grant Estates first batch of Yerga Chef beans for the year.
31:53Your dream come true?
31:55I had it flown in on a charter flight.
31:57Personal overnight.
31:59International.
31:59Just for you to sample.
32:09Clear notes of lemon and orange blossom.
32:13And...
32:14Wait.
32:16Jasmine.
32:17Yeah?
32:18Blooming underneath.
32:30You know we're not really husband and wife.
32:32Right?
32:33I mean, these beans are really hard to source, especially at this time of year, and you really
32:37don't have to go that far.
32:39I don't want you to make being Mrs. Grant your job.
32:42Now, you've dreamed of being the best barista, and I want to help make that happen.
32:45Even if I only have one year.
32:51What are you spacing out for?
32:56Everyone, please welcome our guests of honor.
33:01Vince Grant, head of the Grant family, and Miss Claire, who's just returned from her post
33:09at the Geneva Institute of Private Wealth.
33:20Vince.
33:22Mr. Grant never brings a date to these parties.
33:26Oh, she's gotta be the one for him.
33:27So beautiful.
33:29So elegant.
33:33Are you supposed to be some kind of well-bred heiress?
33:38I mean, look at you.
33:38You look like a lost little child.
33:44Mr. Grant!
33:46Cassian Vane.
33:47Sales lead at one of your subsidiaries.
33:50Mr. Vane.
33:50This is my welcome home party, but you don't seem to be here for me.
33:56Of course I am.
33:58I was just waiting on my date.
34:06Ladies first, right?
34:09Nora?
34:10Nora Blake.
34:11Eldest daughter of the Blake family.
34:13And my fiancée.
34:15Fiancée?
34:18I am.
34:19Who asked her?
34:21This place, it isn't for you.
34:25I think I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
34:31Women are so fussy.
34:34You can shut up now.
34:42Ryan, go buy something for me.
34:47Damn it.
34:48My period just had to start now.
34:58What now?
34:59You have more trouble?
35:00Hey, Cassian, can you please get me-
35:02I'm busy.
35:25Vince.
35:26Running about when you're on your period.
35:28I'm just with a friend.
35:30I'm just with a friend.
35:38You mean that man just now?
35:42I mean, he called you his fiancée.
35:44Is it true?
35:49Look, he works beneath me.
35:51Smooth talker, empty words.
35:53Doesn't respect you either.
35:54You deserve better.
35:57We're not married anymore, okay?
35:59You don't have to look out for me.
36:00You were once my wife.
36:03I can't just stand back and watch you ruin your life.
36:09Vince!
36:13Vince, what are you doing here?
36:14Father's waiting for you.
36:21Of course.
36:23She's already met the parents.
36:25Perfect for each other.
36:26I don't know what I was thinking.
36:31I'm on the way home.
36:33Get your own ride.
36:33I'm on the way home...
36:33I'm on the way home.
36:34I'm on the way home.
36:34I can't take your side...
36:34You're going to take your side.
36:48Your boyfriend is very thoughtful.
36:54He's not my boyfriend.
37:00My husband.
37:21You were once in my life.
37:23I can't just let you ruin your life.
37:28Laura, don't forget why Mom died.
37:31Love is a luxury someone like you can't afford.
37:38So how'd the party go?
37:40Cassian, is he in or out?
37:43I think he's a bad person.
37:46Listen, I already lost my chance to get in with Vince Grant.
37:49Marrying Cassian is the least you can do for me.
37:53I already married someone once.
37:55For you, for your company.
38:01You don't get to tell me no.
38:05Understand?
38:06Fine.
38:08Kill me. Kill me like you killed my mother.
38:10And the Blake family will be over.
38:15Say it again.
38:16I dare you.
38:22Your mother killed herself.
38:26The company is scraping by because of me.
38:34I'm gonna marry Cassian or I swear you're gonna watch it crash and burn.
38:37No!
38:56Did you see that, Mom?
38:58The man you gave your life to.
39:00Just trampling over your life's work.
39:03He's trying to force me to do what he wants.
39:08But I promised myself that I would save your company.
39:12And I'm going to live.
39:13No matter what it takes.
39:27You left something.
39:29Let's meet when you're free.
39:30I cleaned your suit too.
39:33I'll bring it.
39:39Mom, what am I gonna do?
39:41I think I still love my ex-husband.
39:49How have you been?
39:50You've lost weight.
39:53You said you brought my jacket?
39:56Yeah.
40:10Dawn, why are you so on edge?
40:12You were never like this before.
40:15Is someone harassing you?
40:17No.
40:20Do you really have to marry Cassian?
40:23He just has a bit of a...
40:26short temper.
40:27That's it. There's really nothing to worry about.
40:29How can I not?
40:31He insults you in front of strangers.
40:33He doesn't show you basic respect.
40:37Are you sure that that's the life that you want?
40:39Well, I have to at least try.
40:41Vince, you don't understand.
40:42The life I want is with you.
40:44And I love you too much to be with you.
40:47She's already started a new life.
40:49If this is what you want, I'll stop bothering you.
40:52So you said that I left something behind?
40:56If I keep your bracelet, would it be an excuse to see you again?
41:02I was mistaken.
41:04You know I have transferred 10 million into your account.
41:08You can spend it however you'd like.
41:12No. No, we were divorced.
41:14No, I know.
41:15But you kept refusing the alimony that I offered, so...
41:19I want you to have the freedom to chase your dreams.
41:22I...
41:22Look, how's this?
41:24One year.
41:25If you're well off and you don't need the money, you can return it.
41:28But don't turn it down for now.
41:30Please?
41:34Okay.
41:43Well, I should probably get going.
41:47Cassini's gonna pick me up soon, and we're gonna go see my dad and talk about the wedding.
41:59And, um...
42:02Now that we're divorced, I don't really...
42:05And we should see each other anymore.
42:07I don't know anymore.
42:26Wake up.
42:29Wake up.
42:32Wake up.
42:36Wake up.
42:38Wake up.
42:55Look.
42:56Don't marry him!
42:59Wake up.
43:00Wake up.
43:01Wake up.
43:12Miss Blake, this is the last day of our contract marriage.
43:16Thank you for your cooperation this past year.
43:18Mr. Grant, our marriage was a mutually beneficial agreement.
43:22No feelings, no complications, no drama.
43:25This was our deal from the beginning.
43:27Why do I feel so much pain?
43:33Miss Blake, I'd need a marriage in order to fulfill my grandfather's last wish.
43:39And I need money to help save my mom's company.
43:41Very well.
43:43As you'll see in the terms, this arrangement is strictly confidential.
43:47There will be no complications, no feelings, no...
43:49No drama.
43:50I read it twice, actually. I get it. It's very simple.
43:55Deal?
43:58Deal.
44:05For one year in this platonic marriage, my husband gave me everything.
44:09I know that you say I don't owe you anything.
44:12But if you ever need my help, anything at all, just ask.
44:14I'd do anything for you, Nora.
44:16You are...
44:19You once were my wife.
44:21And I know that this agreement was confidential.
44:24So don't worry, I will take our secret to the grave.
44:32Bye.
44:43Don't be silly.
44:45You knew that he was never going to fall for you.
44:51Is this the end of us?
45:02You became everything I ever wanted in a man who could ever compare.
45:13Then, Vince and I got divorced.
45:19Useless!
45:20A whole year!
45:22And you couldn't even lock him down.
45:24He's Vince Grant.
45:25One word from him, and our death is cleared.
45:28But you just let him walk away!
45:30If only we'd have sent Amber.
45:33They would have had babies by now.
45:35Honey, I tried.
45:36But the old man specifically asked for her.
45:40So, what'd you get in the divorce?
45:43Nothing.
45:44He paid off our debt when we got married.
45:47He doesn't owe us anything.
45:48You useless idiot!
45:50Cassie and Bane had a thing for you.
45:52He's now some manager with Grant Group subsidiary.
45:56If you can't keep Vince Grant, aim lower!
46:00I've already set up a meeting.
46:01Get your next meal ticket while you're young enough to do anything good for us.
46:06But I just got divorced.
46:07And this is my house.
46:10My word is law.
46:11And remember something.
46:13Your mother's company is still in my hands.
46:17You know what?
46:18Why don't you just get your shit and get out?
46:25Ah!
46:29Ah!
46:30Ah!
46:31Know your place and stay outside like a good little watchdog.
46:38Ah!
46:47Ah!
46:48Ah!
46:49Ah!
46:49Ah!
46:50I love you guys.
46:52Vince, if things were different, you'd be here keeping me safe.
46:55Giving me home.
47:04Oh!
47:09Um, let me...
47:10Thanks.
