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