00:00My world shattered with a knock the next morning.
00:03Natalie!
00:05Nick, can you get the door?
00:07Natalie, are you in there?
00:14Nick?
00:18Whose room is this?
00:22But who's in there?
00:26I can't believe it.
00:27You cheated on me?
00:30The night before our wedding?
00:33Who are you?
00:36No, Nick, wait! Come back!
00:39Today I was supposed to marry Nick.
00:41What the hell, Natalie?
00:43How? How could you do that?
00:45Tom, try to remain calm.
00:48You've brought shame to yourself and our entire family.
00:51But please, it's not my fault.
00:54How can you say that?
00:56You cheated on your fiance the day before your wedding.
00:59Don't you dare say it's not your fault.
01:01God, how did I raise you to do that?
01:04Stop it. Stop it, okay?
01:06I'm sure she can explain what happened.
01:08Cheryl, do not interrupt your father. He's right.
01:13I always knew Natalie wouldn't grow up to be a decent person.
01:17My stepmother, Rosemary, she's never liked me.
01:22Why'd you do it?
01:24Was that man really better than me?
01:26No.
01:27No, of course not, Nick.
01:31I don't even know who that man was.
01:33I was just... I was really drunk.
01:36And when he came into the room, I thought it was you.
01:41What a load of crap.
01:44I mean, oh my God, do you actually believe that?
01:47He was right. It was really hard to believe.
01:50Nick, I love you.
01:53No.
01:55No.
01:56No, you don't.
02:03The wedding's off, Nick.
02:06Wait, calm down.
02:07Honey, don't go after him.
02:09You would have done the same.
02:11I need to talk to him.
02:16Cheryl, please help me.
02:18I need to figure this out.
02:20It's not my fault.
02:23Believe me, please.
02:24I believe you, honey.
02:26Of course I know you're innocent.
02:28Oh my God, sis.
02:29What a nightmare.
02:31Cheating on your fiance the night before the wedding?
02:34I would have never pegged you for that.
02:36Cheryl, I don't understand.
02:39You set this up?
02:41How?
02:42It's really simple.
02:44We partied hard all day yesterday.
02:46And when you weren't looking, I put sleeping pills in your drinks.
02:50And then I led you to another room.
02:52And I told you that Nick was waiting for you.
02:54And you didn't even question it.
02:56But I don't understand.
02:58Why did you do this to me?
03:01Because I want Nick.
03:05This is a shock.
03:06My stepsister is in love with my fiance.
03:09I can't stand the thought of you being happy with him.
03:12And I would do anything to have him.
03:19Stop it, let go.
03:20You're hurting me.
03:21Girls, what's going on in here?
03:24Natalie, get off her.
03:25Are you crazy?
03:27But she, she set me up.
03:32How dare you accuse my daughter?
03:36You are just as vile as your mother was.
03:40But she just confessed to everything.
03:43Right before you walked in.
03:45Why are you slandering me?
03:47We're sisters.
03:50Tom, do you hear what your daughter is saying?
03:54From now on, you're no longer my daughter.
03:57What?
03:58What do you mean?
04:00Dad.
04:02You disappointed me twice today.
04:05You're no longer worthy of this family.
04:08Pack your things and get out.
04:15That day I lost everything.
04:19They kicked me out of the house
04:21and forced me to leave the country.
04:25My father told me I was no longer welcome.
04:29At that time, I was well aware of what I had gotten myself into.
04:34But one question kept nagging at me.
04:37Who was that man I was with that night?
04:39Wait, wait, wait, wait.
04:40What did you say?
04:41Is this some sort of a joke?
04:43No, sir.
04:44Look, according to security cameras,
04:46you were at the bar last night getting drunk
04:49and some girl put something in your wine.
04:51Look, you see that?
04:53Then you gave her your hotel key?
04:55Yeah.
04:57But instead of her, she brought another girl to your room.
05:00But being under the influence of those drugs,
05:02you weren't able to notice the switch.
05:04It looks like she acted according to a precise plan.
05:08So what do we do now?
05:10Now, everything needs to be destroyed.
05:16Media finds out about this, my company is finished.
05:20And I won't let that happen.
05:22I want you to go down to that hotel.
05:23I want you to destroy every shred of evidence that leads back to this.
05:27Do you understand me?
05:29I'll do that now, sir.
05:31What about the girl who was framed?
05:32Should we find her?
05:34No, no, no, no, no.
05:37Don't even think about her, okay?
05:40She is not our problem.
05:41Do you understand me?
05:43Just do what I told you.
05:49I just hope I never see her again.
05:53Five years have passed since everything happened.
05:56From the moment my family kicked me out until now,
05:59we haven't spoken to each other.
06:01But yesterday morning, my father called and said I had to come back.
06:06He didn't give me a reason.
06:08He just said it was urgent.
06:10And that's why we're here.
06:11Me and...
06:12Come on, Mom, the plane's going to leave without us.
06:15So what?
06:17We'll walk.
06:18It's only a couple thousand miles.
06:20Miles!
06:22It builds character, right?
06:23I found out I was pregnant with Liam after leaving the country.
06:27Despite being alone, I chose to keep him.
06:31He never knew his real father, but that was about to change.
06:34Here are your tickets.
06:39First class?
06:40Yes, so right there.
06:42Okay, seriously?
06:44First class for a kid?
06:46What is this, a plane or a daycare?
06:48I'm sorry?
06:50Never mind.
06:51Hey, Mike, exchange those tickets.
06:53I don't pay for expensive tickets to listen to some kid scream for six hours.
06:57My son is well-behaved, unlike some adults.
07:01Oh, yeah, because most three-year-olds are known for their good behavior.
07:05Actually, I'm four.
07:06Oh, really?
07:07Oh, wow.
07:09That's worse.
07:11Watch your tone with my child.
07:13Do you see the absurdity of the situation?
07:17At that moment, neither he nor I recognized each other at all,
07:21even though we had spent the night together five years ago.
07:25Are there any other flights today?
07:28Knowing this one fact about our night, it becomes 100% clear.
07:32Daddy?
07:34Liam.
07:35Daddy?
07:37That this man, who is now cursing at my son, is his real father.
07:42What's the truth?
07:43Look, Mom, it's the same mark as mine.
07:47Okay, yeah, no, that's a coincidence.
07:49Don't make a big deal of it, kid.
07:51Why'd you leave Mom and me?
07:53Liam, that's enough.
07:55I see what's going on here.
07:56Do you really think you're the first woman to parade a kid in front of me,
07:59have him say, oh, you're my father?
08:02That's pathetic.
08:03All you care about is my money.
08:05I didn't bring anyone to you.
08:08You're delusional.
08:10Okay, so he did this all on his own, huh?
08:12You know, I actually feel sorry for him.
08:16How would you even think about bringing a kid into this world
08:20with no hope of a stable family, huh?
08:22Look at this, Mike.
08:23Look who we got here.
08:25Mother of the year.
08:31How dare you speak to me and my son like this?
08:34What gives you the right?
08:35You think because you're rich, you're better than me?
08:38Well, you're not.
08:41Come on, Liam.
08:43No woman had ever put Bryce in his place before.
08:47They were all infatuated by his strength and authority.
08:51At that moment, he was challenged for the first time.
08:55You okay?
08:56Oh, yeah.
08:58I'm good.
08:59There is another flight out of here.
09:00Should we take it?
09:02And he liked it.
09:04Oh, no.
09:04We're going with them.
09:06Are you sure?
09:07Are you sure?
09:10But a few hours later, none of this mattered.
09:14I finally returned to my hometown.
09:16My father didn't tell me why he invited me.
09:19Hey, Natalie.
09:21Finally.
09:21We've been waiting for you.
09:23But soon, I understood why.
09:26My stepsister and my ex-fiancé are getting married.
09:32And they had to come pick me up from the airport.
09:37Hey, mister, you dropped this.
09:45Did it drop or did you pull it?
09:47You're so young and you're already stealing.
09:50We are your parents.
09:52Liam would never take something from someone.
09:55He was just giving you back your wallet.
09:59Unless this is one of your ugly schemes, you fraud.
10:04Is this your son?
10:05Oh, my God.
10:07I can't believe it.
10:09Wait.
10:10Don't tell me you cheated on Nick.
10:12Had him after.
10:14That's just pathetic.
10:15Now you're raising him on your own.
10:18It's no wonder he's picking pockets.
10:21And that's what happens when you get pregnant on a whim.
10:25It was all very painful to hear.
10:27I couldn't believe that my stepsister and ex-fiancé,
10:31who had once sworn that he loved me, could now say such things.
10:37At that moment, I could not hold myself back.
10:41If you say that again, you'll get a second one.
10:45That goes for you, too, skank.
10:48How dare you?
10:50You think just because you're a woman, I won't do anything to you?
10:55Don't touch my mom.
10:57What's wrong with you, kid?
10:58That hurt.
10:59You guys are bad people.
11:01It's your mom's fault that you have to grow up without a father.
11:05And you're calling us bad?
11:07Great parenting skills.
11:10Hey, sweetie.
11:12There you are.
11:13We were looking for you everywhere.
11:14I was getting worried.
11:17Dad!
11:17Hey, little man.
11:20Did you decide on lunch?
11:22Yes, darling.
11:24Liam wants pizza.
11:26How about Mario's?
11:28That's a great idea.
11:29Hey, Mike.
11:30Go get the car.
11:31Thanks.
11:36I'm sorry.
11:37Who are you?
11:40These friends of yours, sweetie?
11:42No.
11:43I don't know them.
11:45They were just asking for money for a taxi.
11:48Do you have any?
11:50No.
11:52Not for them.
11:54Sorry.
11:55Nick and Cheryl couldn't believe it.
11:58Let's go get some pizza.
11:59From raising an illegitimate child to having a rich husband abroad,
12:04I'll never forget their faces.
12:07Thanks for your help.
12:08Yeah, those two are mean.
12:09I just didn't like what they were saying, that's all.
12:11Yeah, thanks, Dad.
12:13Liam, stop it.
12:15You can't just call someone Dad.
12:17Why not?
12:17It's him.
12:18Liam!
12:20It's him.
12:21Okay.
12:23To have a baby with a woman,
12:25she has to be at least a little bit attractive.
12:27And, uh, that's not your mom, kid.
12:33Stop the car.
12:35Stop the car, please.
12:40What?
12:42Are you mad at me now?
12:44Come on, Liam.
12:45The second time a woman put Bryce in his place,
12:49and both times, it was me.
12:55What the hell is this?
12:56It's for the ride.
12:57Thanks for your help.
12:59I hope I never see you again.
13:07There.
13:08Mike, did you see that?
13:10Crazy.
13:13Let's go.
13:15When we got out of Bryce's car,
13:17we didn't go to my father's mansion.
13:20We took a taxi to another place.
13:22Adelaide, is that really you?
13:23Granny!
13:25I missed you so much.
13:28How much you must have endured.
13:31Turn your time away.
13:35Hello, sweetie.
13:36What's your name?
13:38Hi, I'm Liam.
13:39Come inside.
13:40Come in.
13:41You must be exhausted after your trip.
13:44Is it going through her brain?
13:45Where did it go?
13:46Oh, it's going through your brain.
13:48Of course, my grandmother and I
13:50Of course, my grandmother was happy to see me
13:53and she was just infatuated with Liam.
13:56She fell in love with him at first sight.
14:00A woman of her experience knew what to ask a person
14:04and what not to ask.
14:06That's why she didn't ask me where my son came from.
14:11Returning to the place of my childhood
14:13filled me with joy.
14:15Nothing could tarnish this idyllic feeling.
14:18Nothing.
14:19Well, almost nothing.
14:25Hey again, sis.
14:27We didn't mean to find you here.
14:29I don't think we have anything else to talk about.
14:32Please just leave me alone.
14:35Hold on.
14:39Look, we didn't exactly plan on coming here.
14:41Yeah, daddy asked us to come and he wants to see you right away.
14:45But of course, it's your call.
14:51On the way to the family mansion, none of us said a word.
14:56The house seemed to be the same as it was five years ago,
15:00but the people in it had changed.
15:05I couldn't look into their eyes anymore.
15:10Natalie, how are you?
15:14How is your plight?
15:16Are you hungry?
15:18Say that.
15:19I know you don't like me.
15:20Is that a way to talk to your mother?
15:27Stepmother.
15:30Hi, dad.
15:33I sent you out of the country to think about your behavior.
15:38Instead, you brought back a b****.
15:42Hi, I'm Liam.
15:43You will never be a Davidson.
15:45Daddy, calm down, okay?
15:47Don't be so angry.
15:49The kid is not the one to blame.
15:51Besides, he's your grandson.
15:55Of course she emphasized the word grandson.
15:58She knew that word would make my father even angrier.
16:02Don't you dare call him that!
16:03When they threw me out, I struggled to make ends meet.
16:07They never called once.
16:09Now they want to reject the one person who cares about me?
16:14Liam is my son.
16:16I don't care if you accept him or not.
16:20I only came back because you called me.
16:22I'll go to the engagement party,
16:26but I'm leaving as soon as it's over.
16:29You're expected at the wedding, but not with him.
16:33I forbid you to embarrass our family once again.
16:36After the wedding is over, you can leave once again.
16:40Fine, if that's what you want, Dad.
16:44At that moment, I felt nothing but disgust.
16:50It was great seeing you all.
16:52I wanted to leave the house I lived in for 20 years
16:55and return to my grandmother's.
16:57But as I made my exit, I was intercepted.
17:01What do you want?
17:02Did you come out here to insult me even more?
17:06Look, I gotta ask you something.
17:09What did you mean yesterday about Cheryl's another ugly scheme?
17:12What?
17:13Seriously?
17:16I mean, what gives you the right to say that about her?
17:19You were the one that tried to deceive me behind my back.
17:21Are you done?
17:23Listen to me.
17:25Never bring up what happened back then.
17:27It was a setup, and you just walked away
17:31without asking a single question.
17:34After all those years together, you didn't trust me.
17:38All this time here, Nick hasn't taken his eyes off Liam.
17:42He clearly couldn't stop thinking about the man who was with me yesterday.
17:47So go be with Cheryl now.
17:50You both deserve each other.
17:53Wait, hold on, hold on.
17:55What do you mean you were set up?
17:57Natalie, answer me.
17:58What do you mean you were set up?
18:00Should Natalie tell Nick that Chloe is the one who separated them five years ago?
18:04Will Nick leave Chloe and return to Natalie?
18:07What will happen when Bryce finds out that Liam is his son?
18:10Will he accept Natalie and Liam?
