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