00:00:00Billionaire from Montgomery Enterprises, Aston Montgomery, who is known for his corporate ruthlessness.
00:00:06Stella Evans? You didn't even graduate from college?
00:00:10Mr. Montgomery is your love child.
00:00:17You said there'd be no more scandals!
00:00:20No, father, there are no scandals.
00:00:22Me, my fiancée, and the mother of my child, until my father signs the company over to me, and I will pay you five million dollars.
00:00:29Fine, but only because my rent's already overdue.
00:00:32It's hard to believe you had a baby less than a year ago.
00:00:35Montgomery's don't associate with peasants.
00:00:39Touch my wife again, I will end you.
00:00:41No, my baby!
00:00:43Maybe life with Aston won't be so bad after all.
00:00:46I would do anything for you, anything for our family.
00:00:49Aston isn't the man you think he is, whatever feelings you think he may have.
00:00:55I love you, Stella Evans.
00:00:57It's all just one big lie.
00:00:59I have meant every word I have said to you.
00:01:03I'm in, Stella, I'm all in.
00:01:05Are you?
00:01:07You have to be prepared.
00:01:26I don't have long.
00:01:30I'm not going to let you die, Mom.
00:01:33You're going to beat this cancer.
00:01:42Danny, what are you doing?
00:01:44What does it look like I'm doing?
00:01:46Your rent's late.
00:01:47It didn't.
00:01:53It's two days late, and you said it wouldn't be an issue.
00:01:57I changed my mind.
00:02:00So, unless you want to pay up with that tight little amount of yours,
00:02:04you're out by tomorrow morning.
00:02:08You've got to be kidding me.
00:02:09I have never been late before.
00:02:11And you know my mom's medical bills are insane.
00:02:16Not my problem.
00:02:18You should have thought of that before dumping me.
00:02:22I'll get you the money.
00:02:24I have a job interview today, and the signing bonus will be more than enough to cover it.
00:02:28Just give me 24 hours.
00:02:33Then you better get that job.
00:02:36Tick-tock, cupcake.
00:02:51Billionaire financer Robert Montgomery has announced his retirement from Montgomery Enterprises this morning.
00:02:57The company he built five decades ago.
00:03:00His successor is presumed to be Aston Montgomery, his eldest son and heir,
00:03:05who is known not only for his playboy ways, but his corporate ruthlessness.
00:03:11Stella Evans?
00:03:15Come with me.
00:03:25So, you don't have any corporate experience and you didn't even graduate from college?
00:03:32Well, something came up at home and I couldn't.
00:03:36I'm not running a charity, Ms. Evans.
00:03:38I'm sorry, but I can't hire you.
00:03:39Please.
00:03:41I really need the money.
00:03:45So do 400 other applicants.
00:03:47What makes you so special?
00:03:50I may not be experienced, but I'm a quick learner.
00:03:54And I really need the money.
00:03:55And I need someone who already knows what they're doing.
00:03:58This interview is over.
00:04:04Hey, you can't just walk away from me, you entitled prick.
00:04:10What did you say to me?
00:04:11You heard me, just because you think you're better than everyone else.
00:04:20Shut up.
00:04:28No, you...
00:04:35What is that doing in my office?
00:04:41Did you see that?
00:04:49That, Mr. Montgomery, is your love child.
00:05:10I'm a father.
00:05:14What do I do?
00:05:17You said you needed a job.
00:05:19Help me.
00:05:24Come here, Emma.
00:05:28Here you go.
00:05:31It's okay.
00:05:40Perhaps I misjudged you.
00:05:48So the rumors are true.
00:05:50I'm a grandfather.
00:05:51No, Father, this is not...
00:05:53The board will never let an irresponsible playboy lead the company.
00:05:57You said there'd be no more scandals.
00:06:01I have no choice but to turn the company over to your brother, Clive.
00:06:04No, Father, there are no scandals.
00:06:08Father, this is Stella, my fiancé and the mother of my child.
00:06:15What the fuck?
00:06:23Excuse me?
00:06:25You expect me to believe this low-class woman is your fiancé?
00:06:29Do not speak about her that way.
00:06:31I love her.
00:06:33And I'm tired of hiding it.
00:06:37Right, honey?
00:06:40Please go with it.
00:06:43...yourself.
00:06:44Or what?
00:06:45Or you'll find out how much of a sweetheart I really am.
00:06:47You're really going to let your fiancé act like that?
00:06:50Oh, yeah, I encourage it, actually.
00:06:52So unless you want to see what she's really made of, I suggest you back the fuck off.
00:06:56And one more thing.
00:06:59Touch my fiancé again, I'll break more than just your camera.
00:07:01Sir, sir, sir.
00:07:03Mr. Montgomery, can you answer our questions, please?
00:07:05You cannot ignore us, Mr. Montgomery.
00:07:07Come on now, Mr. Montgomery.
00:07:08What do you have to say?
00:07:23This place is beautiful.
00:07:27So what do we do now?
00:07:30Simple.
00:07:32We do what fiancés do.
00:07:47Look at me.
00:08:02What the hell was that?
00:08:04This is part of the deal.
00:08:06All right, we have to sell it.
00:08:08I have someone looking into where Emma came from.
00:08:10It should all be sorted out soon.
00:08:12What will be sorted, brother?
00:08:15Clive.
00:08:17Welcome home.
00:08:18This fiancé and baby certainly came out of nowhere, didn't they?
00:08:22What are you doing here, Clive?
00:08:24I came to meet my niece and soon-to-be sister-in-law, you know.
00:08:29Since it all happened so fast.
00:08:33Stella Evans, is it?
00:08:38And what trash barrel did you crawl out of?
00:08:43The trash barrel I crawled out of is none of your business.
00:08:47Oh, contraire, mon chéri.
00:08:50It's most definitely my business.
00:08:53The Montgomerys don't associate with peasants.
00:08:56Bad for business.
00:08:57Leave her alone.
00:08:58For what?
00:09:00Care to find out?
00:09:05Care to find out?
00:09:08So, my playboy brother does have feelings.
00:09:11And for a low-class gold digger, no less.
00:09:16Be careful.
00:09:17It's only a matter of time before he dumps you and that baby back into the gutter where you came from.
00:09:28She's cute.
00:09:33Looks just like you, brother.
00:09:49Get away from our baby and get out of our house!
00:09:52Fine.
00:09:54But there's something weird going on here, and I'll find out what it is.
00:09:57The CEO position will be mine.
00:10:00And the first thing I'll do is fire you, brother.
00:10:15Is everyone in your family like that?
00:10:18My half-brother is just the tip of the iceberg.
00:10:21So keep your guard up.
00:10:27I have a few things I have to do.
00:10:30Your room is upstairs.
00:10:35What have I gotten myself into?
00:10:38At least I'll be able to take care of my mom when this is all over.
00:10:41If there's anything you need while I'm gone, just call.
00:10:44But the nurse will take care of you.
00:10:46How did you get the money for a nurse?
00:10:48It's so expensive.
00:10:50I...
00:10:52I got a job.
00:10:53Don't worry about me.
00:10:57I gotta go.
00:10:58I'll see you soon.
00:11:11Holy hot.
00:11:18See something you like?
00:11:23I...
00:11:27Miss Evans?
00:11:29Everything okay?
00:11:33Emma needs us.
00:11:36Right behind you.
00:11:44What's wrong with her?
00:11:47Hey, baby.
00:11:49Hey.
00:11:51There you go.
00:11:53Good job, baby girl.
00:11:55How did you do that?
00:11:57She just wanted to be held.
00:11:59You should hold her.
00:12:00Oh, I don't know about that.
00:12:02She's your daughter.
00:12:04She probably wants you more than anyone else.
00:12:08Trust me.
00:12:09I wish my dad was around.
00:12:11I've never held a baby before, and she's so little, I don't want to hurt her.
00:12:16Aston.
00:12:18She's yours.
00:12:20You can't be scared of her forever.
00:12:26Um...
00:12:28Hey...
00:12:30Emma, um...
00:12:33I'm your daddy.
00:12:40See?
00:12:42That wasn't so bad.
00:12:46Okay.
00:12:48Good night, Emma.
00:12:56Okay.
00:13:04It's the private investigator.
00:13:06The sooner I find out who Emma's mom is, the better.
00:13:26Did the private chef make all this?
00:13:28No.
00:13:30I did.
00:13:33A playboy billionaire who cooks.
00:13:36Maybe I misjudged you.
00:13:39Not such a prick after all, huh?
00:13:42Maybe life with Aston won't be so bad after all.
00:13:48Uh, but...
00:13:49Back to business.
00:13:52My family is coming over for dinner tonight.
00:13:56They want to meet you.
00:13:58Your family?
00:13:59Aston, I can't...
00:14:00Oh, you can.
00:14:02And you will.
00:14:11This is part of the deal.
00:14:13If you want the money,
00:14:15everyone has to believe that you're my fiancé and the mother of my child,
00:14:18starting with my family.
00:14:22Mom?
00:14:24Mom?
00:14:26Can you hear me?
00:14:28My mom's in trouble.
00:14:36Danny, what are you doing?
00:14:38I paid you.
00:14:40Well, I changed my mind
00:14:42when I heard you were shacking up with some billionaire.
00:14:51What?
00:15:10Knock it off!
00:15:11You know my mom needs that medicine.
00:15:13Well, now that you've come in to some money,
00:15:16you can pay me more.
00:15:17Two years, that should do it.
00:15:19She'll pay you what she owes you and not a cent more.
00:15:28Is this your billionaire boyfriend?
00:15:30Actually, he's my fiancé.
00:15:34And he's rich and powerful.
00:15:38He has a bigger dick than you.
00:15:45You really think you're good enough for him?
00:15:48I only fucked you because I felt sorry for you and you're dying.
00:15:59Stella is more than good enough for me.
00:16:01If you touch her again, I will kill you.
00:16:05Aston, stop. He's not worth it.
00:16:11Stella?
00:16:13Mom!
00:16:15Mom!
00:16:17Hey, hey. Stella.
00:16:19Stella, he took my medicine.
00:16:24I have it right here, Mrs. Evans.
00:16:28That man will never bother you again.
00:16:30I will make sure of it.
00:16:34And I'm sending someone for your things.
00:16:36They're coming to live with us.
00:16:39Thank you for helping me with my mom.
00:16:43That wasn't part of the deal.
00:16:50Not everything I do has to be about our deal, Stella.
00:17:00Stella, I'm sorry.
00:17:03I'm sorry.
00:17:06Still, thank you.
00:17:10And I'm sorry for calling you a prick earlier.
00:17:12Why?
00:17:14I can be a prick.
00:17:16When I really want to be.
00:17:20Speaking of our deal.
00:17:22Be ready by 7 p.m. for the family dinner.
00:17:25But I have nothing to wear.
00:17:30I'll take care of that.
00:17:35Okay.
00:18:06I hoped you'd pick the red.
00:18:08You look beautiful.
00:18:12I'm still debating what shoes to wear, though.
00:18:14Allow me.
00:18:35I'm sorry.
00:18:51There's one thing missing.
00:18:58There's one thing missing.
00:19:06May I?
00:19:22Perfect fit.
00:19:27Essence.
00:19:29Too much.
00:19:31I don't deserve this.
00:19:33No.
00:19:35Whoever told you this is more than you deserve is wrong.
00:19:39Because nothing is too much for my future wife.
00:19:42Even if it's only for appearances.
00:19:45You were made to wear it.
00:19:52Let's go.
00:19:55I want to show off my new fiancé.
00:20:04You ready to sell this?
00:20:10Asked in a word.
00:20:14It'll take a moment.
00:20:18Go.
00:20:22I'm not going to wait.
00:20:24I'm not going to wait.
00:20:26I'm not going to wait.
00:20:28I'm not going to wait.
00:20:30I'm not going to wait.
00:20:33I'll be fine.
00:20:49Stella.
00:20:51How nice of you to join us.
00:20:53This is the woman who trapped our Aston with a bastard child.
00:20:59Funny.
00:21:01It's hard to believe that you had a baby less than a year ago.
00:21:05Mother, be nice.
00:21:07I'm sure Stella's
00:21:09trying her best.
00:21:14Oh, I didn't know Aston had a sister.
00:21:19Sister?
00:21:20No.
00:21:21I'm Clarissa.
00:21:24Aston's ex-fiancé.
00:21:32Oh, God.
00:21:34Is she pregnant with Aston's baby?
00:21:39No wonder Aston didn't introduce you earlier.
00:21:41You're nothing like me.
00:21:43And thank God for that.
00:21:45Stella would never cheat on me and get knocked up by my brother.
00:21:48At least we didn't hide our child from the entire family.
00:21:52That's right.
00:21:53Where even is my step-grandbaby?
00:21:57You see, Robert,
00:21:59he's as negligent a father as he would be a CEO.
00:22:02She's with the nanny
00:22:04to keep her from the judgment of people like you.
00:22:06All that matters is our judgment.
00:22:08And bringing in this peasant
00:22:12certainly doesn't help your case.
00:22:14Excuse me?
00:22:15Who are you calling peasant?
00:22:17Being rich doesn't mean you can walk all over me.
00:22:22How dare you talk back to me like that?
00:22:30You can't even control your worthless fiancé.
00:22:33You'll never be good enough to be CEO.
00:22:37Aston is the only person who should run Montgomery Enterprises.
00:22:41Anyone else's CEO would be a mistake.
00:22:44Especially your son.
00:22:54You have upset my fiancé and I won't stand for that.
00:22:57Dinner is canceled.
00:22:59Get out of my house.
00:23:03Now.
00:23:20I'm sorry if I was out of line.
00:23:22No.
00:23:23Thank you for defending me.
00:23:26You didn't have to do that.
00:23:30Of course I did.
00:23:33I'm your fiancé.
00:23:39I never should have launched any of this.
00:23:43It's not fair to you.
00:23:47I'll pay you what I owe you, just...
00:23:51take the money and go, Stella.
00:23:53What's gonna happen to you and Emma?
00:23:55Don't worry about us.
00:23:56I do worry about you.
00:24:00I care about you both.
00:24:01I'm sorry, Stella, but...
00:24:04this contract between us is over.
00:24:10What contract?
00:24:17What contract?
00:24:24I told you what would happen if I caught you lying.
00:24:27We're not lying.
00:24:29Prove it.
00:24:31We were just talking about a prenup.
00:24:34Aston wants me to sign one to protect your family.
00:24:38I think it's admirable.
00:24:43I see.
00:24:54You've saved me twice in the last 20 minutes.
00:25:01You are not what I expected.
00:25:04What did you expect?
00:25:07I don't know.
00:25:10Not you.
00:25:15Why are you looking at me like you want to kiss me?
00:25:18Because I do want to kiss you.
00:25:24Because I do want to kiss you.
00:25:27That's all I've thought about since you put on that red dress.
00:25:34We probably shouldn't complicate this whole fake relationship thing.
00:25:39Especially since we're not actually getting married.
00:25:44You're right.
00:25:46We'll break off this engagement as soon as possible
00:25:48and we'll both get everything we want.
00:25:50We'll break off this engagement as soon as possible and we'll both get everything we want.
00:26:13I have some good news.
00:26:15You're getting married.
00:26:17Tomorrow.
00:26:20Tomorrow?
00:26:25Congratulations.
00:26:27By this time tomorrow, you'll officially be husband and wife.
00:26:31Tomorrow?
00:26:33Unless there's some sort of problem with getting married tomorrow.
00:26:37It's just...
00:26:39We're not in a rush.
00:26:41But the board is.
00:26:43A child out of wedlock is a scandal.
00:26:47And one that must be remedied immediately.
00:26:51I hope that won't be a problem.
00:27:02Married?
00:27:04That wasn't part of the deal.
00:27:05I know.
00:27:08But would it be so bad being married to me?
00:27:15No.
00:27:17It's just...
00:27:19This isn't exactly how I pictured getting married.
00:27:30It takes some time to think about it.
00:27:34But I need an answer tonight.
00:27:36Mom?
00:27:47Mom?
00:27:49How did you know when you were ready to get married?
00:27:52I don't think anybody ever is ready, truly.
00:27:58I mean, your father and I certainly weren't.
00:28:01You weren't?
00:28:02No.
00:28:04We were young.
00:28:06Young even.
00:28:09But your father made me feel the way I'd never felt before.
00:28:14He made me feel loved.
00:28:16Valued.
00:28:18Whole.
00:28:19Whole.
00:28:34But...
00:28:36It didn't even work out.
00:28:37It ended before I was born.
00:28:41Just because something doesn't last
00:28:44doesn't mean you can't enjoy it while you have it.
00:28:50Plus, your father gave me you,
00:28:55which is more than enough.
00:28:58I can't deny it.
00:29:00I want to marry Aston.
00:29:02Even if it's temporary.
00:29:04He and Emma are my family.
00:29:06It'll break my heart when it's all over.
00:29:20She just went down.
00:29:25Look, I know this isn't what you wanted.
00:29:27And you deserve to marry someone who truly cares about you.
00:29:32So...
00:29:35If you want to walk away now, I won't blame you.
00:29:41So...
00:29:43Do you have an answer for me?
00:29:44So...
00:29:46Do you have an answer for me?
00:29:48I do.
00:29:53Aston, look at me.
00:29:57I never thought I would get married as part of a contract,
00:30:00but I said I'd help you, and I'll keep my word.
00:30:08It means a lot to me.
00:30:15I have to say I'm surprised Aston is going through with this.
00:30:19I definitely thought that he would have dumped you by now.
00:30:22He probably will once he sees her in that rag.
00:30:25It was my mother's wedding dress.
00:30:28Of course it was.
00:30:30Only a poor person would wear something like that.
00:30:32I'm surprised your Prince Charming didn't buy you something better.
00:30:35He clearly doesn't care about you.
00:30:40It doesn't matter what you think.
00:30:41It doesn't matter what you think.
00:30:43I know how Aston feels.
00:30:45Are you sure?
00:30:47If he really loved you,
00:30:49he would have given you his mother's ring.
00:30:55Are you sure?
00:30:57If he really loved you,
00:30:59he would have given you his mother's ring.
00:31:11Is that what he gave you, Clarissa?
00:31:14No.
00:31:16But that's only because I wanted something bigger.
00:31:22From Mr. Montgomery.
00:31:24For his fiancée.
00:31:26Oh my God.
00:31:28It's gorgeous.
00:31:30That's the late Mrs. Montgomery's necklace.
00:31:34That's supposed to be mine.
00:31:36I am under strict orders
00:31:38to allow nobody but Ms. Evans near this necklace.
00:31:42Especially you.
00:32:02You look like the future Mrs. Montgomery.
00:32:08I do.
00:32:10If only this were real.
00:32:27I know that you and Aston are lying about your relationship.
00:32:32So if you know what's best,
00:32:34you won't go through with this wedding.
00:32:36Aston isn't who you think he is.
00:32:43So if you know what's best,
00:32:45you won't go through with this wedding.
00:32:50Aston isn't the man you think he is.
00:32:52Whatever money you think you might be getting,
00:32:55whatever feelings you think he may have,
00:32:59it's all just one big lie.
00:33:01Your vision of the future is not the reality.
00:33:11Thank you for the advice.
00:33:13But I don't need it.
00:33:15I can handle myself.
00:33:17And nothing you say can scare me.
00:33:23Say no to Aston in front of everyone,
00:33:26or I'll make sure you regret it.
00:33:30Your choice, Stella Evans.
00:33:32Don't make the wrong one.
00:33:35I love you.
00:34:00You look beautiful.
00:34:02Hey.
00:34:04You okay?
00:34:05Is it true?
00:34:06Is Aston just using me to get what he wants?
00:34:09Is he just using Emma?
00:34:11Dearly beloved,
00:34:13we are gathered here today
00:34:15to join this man and woman in holy matrimony.
00:34:18Marriage is powerful in a way.
00:34:20You take Aston to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:34:32I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:34:34I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:34:40I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:34:57What the hell was that about?
00:35:00This is all fake, Aston!
00:35:02Every word you're telling me,
00:35:03every look you're giving me,
00:35:04is it all just some charade?
00:35:06Jesus!
00:35:08Is this necklace even real?
00:35:10God!
00:35:34I have meant every word I've said to you.
00:35:38None of this is a lie.
00:35:41And this necklace?
00:35:45My mother left it to me before she died.
00:35:47She said, uh,
00:35:49that I should only give it to someone I care about.
00:35:53Someone I saw a future with.
00:36:03Someone I saw a future with.
00:36:16I'm falling for you Stella Evans.
00:36:19I have been since the moment we met.
00:36:26I don't know how I feel right now.
00:36:29Today's just been a lot,
00:36:31and my mind is all over the place.
00:36:34You're right.
00:36:36This wedding's way too much, too soon.
00:36:39Stay here and
00:36:41I'll tell everybody the wedding is off.
00:36:52Excellent!
00:36:53A runaway bride is an even bigger scandal
00:36:54than a love child.
00:37:04This must be a record, brother.
00:37:06Two fiancées down.
00:37:08At least this one made it to the altar.
00:37:12Hi everyone.
00:37:13Sorry to keep you waiting, but
00:37:15there won't be-
00:37:16Any more interruptions.
00:37:19Who's ready for a wedding?
00:37:34Okay, let's try this again.
00:37:38Dearly beloved,
00:37:40we are gathered here today
00:37:42to join this man and this woman
00:37:44in holy matrimony.
00:37:46Marriage is powerful in ways
00:37:48you'd never expect.
00:37:50It's something that makes you feel
00:37:52lucky to be alive
00:37:54exactly when and where you want to be.
00:37:56And it's something that makes you feel
00:37:58lucky to be alive
00:38:00exactly when and where you want to be.
00:38:01And it's something that makes you feel
00:38:03lucky to be alive
00:38:05exactly when and where you are.
00:38:07It's choosing your partner
00:38:09at every moment of every day
00:38:11and of learning how to love
00:38:13even the darkest parts of another person.
00:38:15A true partner stays with you
00:38:17through thick and thin
00:38:19in sickness and in health
00:38:21for better or worse
00:38:23for richer or poorer
00:38:25on death do you part.
00:38:27Aston,
00:38:29do you take Stella
00:38:31do you take this man
00:38:33to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:38:42Stella,
00:38:44do you take this man
00:38:46to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:38:55I do.
00:38:57Good.
00:38:59You may kiss the bride now.
00:39:13I'd like to congratulate
00:39:15my eldest son on his marriage today
00:39:17and to announce
00:39:19that he's going to be taking over
00:39:21Montgomery Enterprises
00:39:23as my successor and CEO tomorrow.
00:39:26This is bullshit.
00:39:28CEO should be mine.
00:39:32This is your fault
00:39:34you little bitch.
00:39:36I hope that hurt.
00:39:38Not as much as this girl.
00:39:40You're my baby!
00:39:43Not as much as this girl.
00:39:45You're my baby!
00:39:49What the hell?
00:39:51You ruined my suit!
00:39:53If you touch my wife again
00:39:55I will end you.
00:39:57Now get the hell out of my wedding.
00:40:02Baby!
00:40:04You're just going to stand there
00:40:06and let him do that?
00:40:08You're right.
00:40:10I should have stopped him before the slap.
00:40:12Let's get out of here
00:40:14before someone else tries to ruin our wedding day.
00:40:22Whoa.
00:40:24Are you okay?
00:40:27I'm fine.
00:40:29He barely got me.
00:40:32So
00:40:35husband
00:40:37what should we do next?
00:40:47I have wanted you
00:40:49since the moment we met
00:40:52Mrs. Montgomery.
00:41:02Are you going?
00:41:07If I don't leave now
00:41:10I won't be able to stop myself
00:41:13from tearing you out of that dress.
00:41:18Is that what I wanted you to stop?
00:41:19Since the moment I met you
00:41:21you have consumed my everything.
00:41:24I can't eat.
00:41:26I can't sleep.
00:41:28I can't work
00:41:30without thinking about you.
00:41:32Without imagining this.
00:41:36I can't sleep.
00:41:38I can't work
00:41:40without thinking about you.
00:41:42Without imagining this.
00:41:44I can't sleep.
00:41:46I can't work.
00:41:48Do you want me?
00:41:52More than anything.
00:42:18Still a help.
00:42:25The baby's not breathing.
00:42:34I don't know what happened.
00:42:35One minute she was breathing
00:42:36and the next thing she
00:42:39Thank God.
00:42:41Hey.
00:42:43Hey.
00:42:45Hey.
00:42:48Hey.
00:42:49It's okay.
00:42:50She's okay now.
00:42:51See?
00:42:52Hi.
00:42:53It's okay.
00:43:02That's the most terrified
00:43:03I've ever been in my life.
00:43:06That's because she's your baby girl
00:43:07and you love her.
00:43:11What if I can't do this on my own?
00:43:14What if I can't raise
00:43:15an entire human being?
00:43:18You can do this.
00:43:20Actually, you already
00:43:21are doing it.
00:43:23All you have to do
00:43:24is love her.
00:43:26That's more than
00:43:27my dad did for me.
00:43:35It's the private investigator.
00:43:37He might have information
00:43:38on who Emma's mom is.
00:43:48Mom.
00:43:50I wanted to let you know
00:43:51that I went through
00:43:52with the wedding.
00:43:54And I brought you a picture.
00:43:58And I even wore your dress.
00:44:01Stella.
00:44:04Oh, you're so beautiful.
00:44:08I'm so glad
00:44:09you found someone
00:44:10to take care of you.
00:44:12I'm so glad
00:44:13you found someone
00:44:14to take care of you.
00:44:15I'm so glad
00:44:16you found someone
00:44:17to take care of you
00:44:18after Mom died.
00:44:22What are you talking about?
00:44:30What's this?
00:44:32A clinical trial?
00:44:34But it cost $10 million?
00:44:36Something like that
00:44:37could save my mom.
00:44:39But how am I ever
00:44:40going to get that much money?
00:44:46There you are.
00:44:50Everything okay?
00:44:52Yep.
00:44:54What are you doing?
00:44:59I have to
00:45:00take a paternity test.
00:45:09I have to
00:45:10take a paternity test.
00:45:12Take a paternity test.
00:45:16I guess we'll know soon
00:45:18if I'm Emma's father.
00:45:20If?
00:45:22Well, they got the footage
00:45:23from the office the day
00:45:24Emma was dropped off.
00:45:26But the woman who was there,
00:45:29I don't recognize her.
00:45:33So you just forgot
00:45:34someone you slept with?
00:45:37That wasn't a good time
00:45:38in my life.
00:45:40And I made a lot
00:45:41of mistakes.
00:45:44But I've changed.
00:45:46You've changed me.
00:45:49Which
00:45:51is why I need you
00:45:52to come with me
00:45:53to the board meeting today.
00:45:54You keep me grounded.
00:45:57Of course I'll go with you.
00:46:04Today is about
00:46:05more than my retirement.
00:46:07It's about the future
00:46:08of Montgomery Enterprises.
00:46:09A future
00:46:11that will be ripped to shreds
00:46:12if you allow your lying son
00:46:15to become CEO.
00:46:17What are you talking about?
00:46:21You.
00:46:23You're not the mother
00:46:24of his child.
00:46:28You're not the mother
00:46:29of his child.
00:46:31You're lying.
00:46:33They're both lying
00:46:34to all of you.
00:46:35Stella Evans.
00:46:38Ten o'clock interview
00:46:39with Ashton Montgomery
00:46:41for the executive
00:46:43assistant position.
00:46:46Looks like he offered
00:46:47a different job to her
00:46:48altogether.
00:46:50This man would go so far
00:46:52as to marry
00:46:53a complete stranger
00:46:54in order to become
00:46:55your CEO.
00:46:57I don't know how much
00:46:58he's paying you,
00:46:59but it must be a lot.
00:47:01If this is true, son,
00:47:02you're an embarrassment
00:47:03to this family
00:47:04and this company.
00:47:08The board can't proceed
00:47:09with a vote.
00:47:12It's true.
00:47:14Stella was there
00:47:15to interview that day.
00:47:17Me.
00:47:18To see if I was up
00:47:19for the challenge
00:47:20to raising our daughter.
00:47:22But this isn't about
00:47:23my personal life.
00:47:24This is about what's best
00:47:25for Montgomery Enterprises
00:47:26going into the future.
00:47:27And since I've become COO,
00:47:29I have more
00:47:30and more to say
00:47:31I have more than
00:47:32doubled our profits.
00:47:33And if that's not
00:47:34enough for you,
00:47:35then I don't know what is.
00:47:39It doesn't matter
00:47:40what you say.
00:47:42Mom already promised me
00:47:43the position of CEO
00:47:44would be mine.
00:47:46Enough.
00:47:49We will vote now.
00:47:52Is there a vote for Clive?
00:47:57And for Ashton?
00:48:01No.
00:48:07It's a tie.
00:48:09So it all comes down
00:48:10to my father.
00:48:13And I have decided.
00:48:19The new CEO
00:48:20of Montgomery Enterprises
00:48:23is
00:48:28The new CEO
00:48:29of Montgomery Enterprises
00:48:31is
00:48:34Ashton Montgomery.
00:48:39What about me?
00:48:41I've looked at the financials.
00:48:43You've spent more time
00:48:44at the country club
00:48:45than in the boardroom.
00:48:47It's not my fault
00:48:48their Cobb salads are excellent.
00:48:51And the boardroom is boring.
00:48:57Come on.
00:48:59Congratulations Ashton.
00:49:01The new CEO
00:49:02of Montgomery Enterprises.
00:49:04But make me doubt
00:49:05anything else
00:49:06and I'll rip everything
00:49:07away from you too
00:49:08without hesitation.
00:49:23So what's your first
00:49:24act as CEO?
00:49:28I violate every page
00:49:29of the HR handbook.
00:49:30It's a good thing
00:49:31you never gave me that job.
00:49:38I need you.
00:49:58I need you.
00:50:24I'm almost home.
00:50:28Come on.
00:50:33Just a minute.
00:50:41Ashton.
00:50:43The board would like to see you.
00:50:45To go over some financials.
00:50:47Of course.
00:50:59Knock knock.
00:51:03Clarissa, if you're here
00:51:04to bully me
00:51:05I am not in the mood.
00:51:06That's not why I'm here.
00:51:08I'm here as a courtesy.
00:51:10You deserve the truth
00:51:11and clearly
00:51:12Ashton isn't going
00:51:13to give it to you.
00:51:18This baby isn't Clive's.
00:51:21It's Ashton's.
00:51:29What the hell
00:51:30are you talking about?
00:51:31That baby cannot be Ashton's.
00:51:32Well we clearly
00:51:33couldn't tell you
00:51:34until the roost was over.
00:51:35Until he became CEO.
00:51:38But now that it's all over
00:51:39and Ashton got what he wanted
00:51:41we don't need you anymore.
00:51:45He doesn't need you anymore.
00:51:53What the hell
00:51:54are you talking about?
00:51:55Open Ashton's desk door
00:51:56and find out.
00:52:09Oh my god.
00:52:10He signed the divorce papers.
00:52:13Clarissa's telling the truth.
00:52:26You can go now.
00:52:38Sweet Emma.
00:52:41I'm going to miss you so much.
00:52:44What's going on?
00:52:46I'm saying goodbye to Emma
00:52:47and then I'm out of here.
00:52:49Just like you want me to be.
00:52:56Stella why are you packing?
00:52:58Here.
00:52:59I signed them.
00:53:00You don't have to worry about me anymore.
00:53:01What are you talking about?
00:53:02Come on Ashton.
00:53:03You used me
00:53:04to get everything you wanted.
00:53:06I was a fool to think
00:53:07we could ever be together.
00:53:08That we could ever
00:53:09have a family together.
00:53:10Oh and by the way
00:53:12congratulations on the baby.
00:53:14I hope you and Clarissa
00:53:15are really happy together.
00:53:17Wait.
00:53:25Wait.
00:53:29Please.
00:53:30Let me explain.
00:53:33What could you possibly
00:53:34have to say to me?
00:53:38There is nothing
00:53:39and will never be anything
00:53:40between me and Clarissa
00:53:41ever again.
00:53:42I'm not even the father
00:53:43of her child.
00:53:44And these
00:53:45I had these drawn up
00:53:46the day I met you before.
00:53:47I knew this could be anything
00:53:48more than a contract.
00:53:50And this just
00:53:51just take it.
00:53:52Take it.
00:53:54Please just take everything out.
00:53:55All I want
00:53:56is you and Emma.
00:53:57I could take or leave
00:53:58anything else.
00:54:00You don't mean that.
00:54:01Of course I mean it.
00:54:03I have meant
00:54:04every word
00:54:05I have said to you.
00:54:07I'm in Stella.
00:54:08I'm all in.
00:54:10Are you?
00:54:16I'm in Stella.
00:54:17I'm all in.
00:54:19Are you?
00:54:23Yeah.
00:54:24I'm all in.
00:54:30Yes.
00:54:38The paternity results are in.
00:54:42I'm not going to miss fun.
00:54:53The paternity results are in.
00:54:57I'm not going to miss fun.
00:55:06I can't believe
00:55:07I'm not her father.
00:55:11If she doesn't belong to me
00:55:12then
00:55:14why would that woman
00:55:15have shown up at my office
00:55:16and made me believe
00:55:17she was mine?
00:55:18I can't tell you
00:55:19why this is happening, Aston.
00:55:22But Emma's lucky
00:55:23to have you as a dad.
00:55:26Biological or not.
00:55:29We need to find the truth.
00:55:36Dahlia's behind it all.
00:55:43I'm not telling you
00:55:44anything.
00:55:46I'm not telling you
00:55:47anything.
00:55:48This isn't a game, Dahlia.
00:55:50She's a child.
00:55:51Where did Emma come from?
00:55:53Step down as CEO
00:55:54and I'll tell you.
00:55:59Step down as CEO
00:56:00and I'll tell you.
00:56:02Are you kidding me?
00:56:03This is way bigger
00:56:04than a CEO position.
00:56:06This is a child's life
00:56:07you're messing with.
00:56:09Shut up.
00:56:10You little tramp.
00:56:12If you hadn't come along
00:56:13pretending to be her mother
00:56:14the scandal
00:56:15would have proceeded
00:56:16as planned
00:56:18and that little child
00:56:19would be back
00:56:20at the orphanage
00:56:21right where she belonged.
00:56:23Orphanage?
00:56:25That's right.
00:56:26The baby's trash
00:56:27just like you.
00:56:40My hair!
00:56:45Ask him to come here.
00:56:46You better get control
00:56:47of your little wife!
00:56:48Or nothing!
00:56:50You will not speak
00:56:51about my wife
00:56:52or my family that way.
00:56:54Get out.
00:57:07Call every orphanage
00:57:08in the city
00:57:09until you find one
00:57:10that's missing a baby.
00:57:14It's okay.
00:57:16It's okay.
00:57:17We're going to figure this out.
00:57:21Mama.
00:57:22Oh my God.
00:57:23Did she just call me Mama?
00:57:24She's yours
00:57:25if you want her to be.
00:57:27I want to be
00:57:28but until we figure out
00:57:30what's going on
00:57:31I can't get attached.
00:57:35Mama.
00:57:37I'm sorry.
00:57:39I'm sorry.
00:57:41I'm sorry.
00:57:42Mama.
00:57:43I understand.
00:57:45I'm sorry.
00:57:47Mr. Montgomery!
00:57:48Mr. Montgomery!
00:57:49Mr. Montgomery!
00:57:50What can you say
00:57:51about the recent allegations
00:57:52that Miss Evans
00:57:53is not the mother
00:57:54of your son's child?
00:57:56Mr. Montgomery!
00:57:57You can't ignore us!
00:57:58Mr. Montgomery!
00:58:04What's going on?
00:58:06The press is having
00:58:07a field day out there.
00:58:09I told you to.
00:58:10No more scandals!
00:58:11What are you talking about?
00:58:14I went out on a limb
00:58:15for you, son.
00:58:16I trusted you.
00:58:17And this has been
00:58:18a lie the whole time?
00:58:21You say she's
00:58:22the mother of your child?
00:58:23Prove it
00:58:24or I'll expect you
00:58:25to step down
00:58:26as CEO tomorrow morning.
00:58:30How do we prove it?
00:58:33Simply.
00:58:35Take a maternity test.
00:58:42We're not going away
00:58:43Mr. Montgomery!
00:58:44We're going a long way.
00:58:45You might as well ask
00:58:46the question, come on Aston.
00:58:47I...
00:58:50I got...
00:58:52Aston...
00:58:54If they take a maternity test
00:58:55they're gonna know
00:58:56who the father is.
00:58:58I know.
00:59:01I know.
00:59:03I have proof you're
00:59:04the father of my child.
00:59:05What?
00:59:06I have proof
00:59:07I have proof
00:59:08you're the father
00:59:09of my child.
00:59:10test they're gonna know that Emma's not mine and then we may lose her. Forever.
00:59:14No.
00:59:18We've been lying. If they find out there's no way we can keep Emma.
00:59:23Ah! Mom! Mom! My mom is dying!
00:59:41My head is so warm.
00:59:43It's okay.
00:59:44Oh, my heart was racing. I was so scared.
00:59:58It's okay.
01:00:02It's okay. It's all gonna be okay.
01:00:14Hey. My mom's getting worse.
01:00:23She needs this experimental treatment, but we can't afford it, so...
01:00:29Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:33I didn't want to be a burden to you.
01:00:35You can never be a burden.
01:00:38How much does the treatment cost?
01:00:44Ten million dollars.
01:00:48I'll pay it. Every penny.
01:00:57I'll pay it. Every penny.
01:01:01Aston...
01:01:02Like I said, money doesn't matter. I would do anything for you, anything for our family.
01:01:10Thank you. You have no idea what this means to me.
01:01:15I love you.
01:01:23How do you always know just what to say to make me feel better?
01:01:27Because I know you. I know what you want. I know what you need.
01:01:32That's what happens to someone when you...
01:01:37When you... When you what?
01:01:42When you love someone.
01:01:45And I love you, Stella Evans.
01:01:54And I love you, Stella Evans.
01:02:03You love me?
01:02:07I do.
01:02:10I can't believe it's taken me so long to say it.
01:02:15Please, tell me you feel the same.
01:02:24I don't know what I'm feeling. It's all just... It's too much.
01:02:32I understand.
01:02:41Hi, I'd like to pay a bill for Mary Evans.
01:02:45It has?
01:02:49By who?
01:02:53I see.
01:03:14A year ago, I gave up my baby girl.
01:03:20I had no choice and it broke my heart.
01:03:23The chances are almost impossible, but I have to know.
01:03:27Could Emma be my daughter?
01:03:40Hello, I'd like to schedule a maternity test.
01:03:44Okay.
01:03:54Hey, Stella, do you...
01:03:58Everything okay?
01:03:58Fine.
01:04:05You seem... off.
01:04:07I'm fine. I just... I have a lot on my mind.
01:04:14I just can't stop thinking about Emma's mother and how
01:04:17our lives could come crashing down over some maternity test.
01:04:20Then don't take it.
01:04:22What?
01:04:24No, I can't ask you to do that. That's not fair to you.
01:04:28Don't worry about what's fair to me.
01:04:30It's all I'm worried about.
01:04:33I'm not worried about you.
01:04:35It's all I'm worried about.
01:04:37You mean more to me than this CEO position.
01:04:41He's trying to help, but if Emma's somehow mine,
01:04:45I can save Aston's job and his reputation.
01:04:49Just don't do anything rash, okay?
01:04:53We still have until tomorrow to figure it out.
01:04:59I need to ask.
01:05:02Does the name Andrew Beaumont mean anything to you?
01:05:04No.
01:05:06No?
01:05:08Should it?
01:05:10Well, he paid for your mother's treatment.
01:05:14All $10 million of it.
01:05:29Mom, who's Andrew Beaumont?
01:05:35How do you know about him?
01:05:40He paid for your treatment.
01:05:42Who is he?
01:05:47Mom?
01:05:49Mom?
01:05:51Mom!
01:05:52Someone call a doctor!
01:05:54Mom!
01:06:04Mom?
01:06:11I spoke with the doctors.
01:06:16She's been put in a medically induced coma until the swelling in her brain subsides.
01:06:22It's all my fault if I wouldn't push her.
01:06:24No, Estella.
01:06:25It is not your fault.
01:06:28I know.
01:06:29I know.
01:06:30And I know she's sick.
01:06:30I just wish there was something I could do.
01:06:33She's with the doctors now.
01:06:35She's getting the treatment she needs.
01:06:38It'll all be fine.
01:06:41No matter how much you keep blaming yourself, I'll say it again.
01:06:46It's not your fault.
01:07:05Okay, Emma.
01:07:05Time to learn the truth.
01:07:06In breaking news, CEO Aston Montgomery has called a last minute press conference to address
01:07:33the future of Montgomery Enterprises.
01:07:36Reporters have it on good authority that he is prepared to step down as CEO,
01:07:40handing the company over to his half-brother, Clive Montgomery, in the wake of a paternity scandal.
01:07:55Oh, my God.
01:08:06I can save him.
01:08:17Mr. Montgomery, you do understand that not forcing your wife to take a maternity test
01:08:23is an admission of guilt, right?
01:08:25Which means you've been lying to everyone.
01:08:28Wait!
01:08:30We're not lying.
01:08:31I took the test.
01:08:33I have the results right here.
01:08:39I have the results right here.
01:08:44Hey!
01:08:46You know how much I'm willing to pay for those?
01:08:47Not enough.
01:08:48Trust me.
01:08:53Do you understand what we're talking about?
01:08:55How long has this happened?
01:08:58You took the maternity test?
01:08:59Why?
01:08:59Aston, there's something I need to tell you.
01:09:01Show us the results, sweetheart.
01:09:03Prove your husband's not lying.
01:09:08I don't owe anyone proof.
01:09:09Believe me or don't.
01:09:10But I am Emma's mother.
01:09:13I believe you.
01:09:14Don't even think about it, Dahlia.
01:09:24This is so sweet.
01:09:28If only it mattered.
01:09:31You're too late, Stella.
01:09:33Aston already stepped down.
01:09:43You already stepped down?
01:09:45Yes.
01:09:46To protect you.
01:09:47To protect Emma.
01:09:48Aston, we were fine.
01:09:49All you've ever wanted to do is be safe.
01:09:51To be a great husband to you and a great father to Emma.
01:09:55That's all that matters to me.
01:09:57We can figure out the rest.
01:09:59It looks like you're working for me now, brother.
01:10:04I own the company now.
01:10:06Which means I owe you.
01:10:10Not quite.
01:10:13I just received an offer from Montgomery Enterprises.
01:10:17One that I couldn't refuse.
01:10:18Meet our buyer, Andrew Beaumont.
01:10:30Stella's father.
01:10:37Stella, you look just like your mother.
01:10:44This is ridiculous.
01:10:46You're trying to tell me that Stella's related to a billionaire?
01:10:51She's nothing but a piece of trash.
01:10:53Don't speak about my daughter that way.
01:10:57Your daughter?
01:10:58How dare you call me that?
01:11:00You left mom and I.
01:11:02No.
01:11:04Stella, I never left you.
01:11:06Your mother, she kicked me out.
01:11:10Because I wasn't the husband or the father that I needed to be.
01:11:14But I'm here now to make it up to you.
01:11:19This company belongs to me, not this low-class peasant bitch.
01:11:24Ow, my baby!
01:11:27Damn, that felt good.
01:11:30Get out of my office or I'll have you arrested for assault.
01:11:34Actually, the office belongs to my daughter now.
01:11:39As does the company.
01:11:43What?
01:11:44I'm the CEO of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:11:57I'm the CEO of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:12:04Oh yes, which means you get to decide how we get rid of Clive.
01:12:08You're nothing more than a spoiled little rich kid who thinks the world is out to get him.
01:12:13You never deserved this company, so fuck off.
01:12:18I...
01:12:20Mother, you'll let her talk to me that way?
01:12:25Dahlia's words have no power.
01:12:27Not anymore.
01:12:28This can't be happening.
01:12:32I planned everything perfectly.
01:12:36That little orphan would have made the perfect scandal if not for Stella interfering.
01:12:43And you!
01:12:45You were supposed to convince that little bitch that you were pregnant with Aston's baby.
01:12:49And now you're just going to let her do whatever she wants to do with it?
01:12:52You!
01:12:54You were supposed to convince that little bitch that you were pregnant with Aston's baby.
01:12:58But no, you failed and fucked us all.
01:13:04I didn't.
01:13:07Clive, Clarissa, get the hell out of my office.
01:13:10You too, Dahlia.
01:13:12Get out!
01:13:13You can't kick me out.
01:13:14I'm Robert's wife.
01:13:17Not anymore.
01:13:19I want a divorce.
01:13:22Oh my gosh, what?
01:13:37I always thought she looked just like you when she was sleeping.
01:13:44I never thought I'd see her again.
01:13:49I never wanted to give her up, but...
01:13:52When mom got sick and the medical bills, I just...
01:13:58I knew we couldn't afford it.
01:14:02That's all in the past.
01:14:05But I want to talk about our future.
01:14:11How would you feel about one more?
01:14:18I could be persuaded.
01:14:21Let me persuade you.
01:14:46So, what's your future?
01:14:50First order of business as CEO.
01:14:53Well, since I've already violated the employee handbook...
01:14:57Twice.
01:15:02I was thinking we could talk business.
01:15:06No one knows more about Montgomery Enterprises than you.
01:15:12I was hoping you might show me the ropes.
01:15:16I'd be happy to.
01:15:20Let's violate the handbook one more time.
01:15:50I'm pregnant.
01:16:20Hey, the mother and I were just catching up.
01:16:34I still can't believe this.
01:16:39Forgive me for not telling you about your father sooner.
01:16:42When I got sick, I decided to write him.
01:16:46Forgiving him.
01:16:50I never thought you would.
01:16:54And I hope you can forgive me too.
01:17:04You saved me and my family.
01:17:06Of course I'll forgive you.
01:17:12You know, speaking of family...
01:17:15I'd really like to meet my grandbaby.
01:17:20Which one?
01:17:30Stella!
01:17:35Ashton, your assistant called and said it was an emergency.
01:17:40Stella Evans?
01:17:43Yes.
01:17:48Come with me.
01:17:50Okay.
01:17:57Last time I heard those words, I got roped into a fake marriage.
01:18:02Well, this time I'm hoping you'll say yes to a real one.
01:18:07Come on.
01:18:19Ashton, is that your mother's ring?
01:18:21It is.
01:18:24You're the only person who's ever been worthy of it.
01:18:29Stella Evans, ever since you stepped into my office,
01:18:31you have changed the course of my life.
01:18:33You have given me a beautiful child.
01:18:37Children.
01:18:40I'm pregnant.
01:18:46I want forever with you.
01:18:47No deals.
01:18:49No schemes.
01:18:51Just us.
01:18:54Will you marry me?
01:18:58Yes! Yes, I'll marry you!
01:19:08Oh, it's beautiful.
01:19:16Just like you.
01:19:33What do you say, Mrs. Montgomery?
01:19:35Should we blow this popsicle stuff?
01:19:37Let's do it.
01:19:52I love you.
01:19:53How much do you love me?
01:19:56Enough to last forever.
