Short filmTranscript
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, it's your loved child.
00:00:18You said there'd be no more scandals!
00:00:19No, father, there are no scandals.
00:00:21Me, my fiancé, 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 long.
00:01:30I'm not going to let you die, Mom.
00:01:32You'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.
00:01:53It's two days late, and you said it wouldn't be an issue.
00:01:56I changed my mind.
00:01:58So?
00:01:59Unless you want to pay up with that tight little lot of yours.
00:02:03You're out by tomorrow morning.
00:02:07You've got to be kidding me. I have never been late before.
00:02:10And you know my mom's medical bills are insane.
00:02:14Not my job.
00:02:16You should have thought of that before dumping me.
00:02:20I'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.
00:02:28Just give me 24 hours.
00:02:32Then you better get that job.
00:02:35Tick-tock, cupcake.
00:02:37I'm sorry.
00:02:50Billionaire financer Robert Montgomery has announced his retirement from Montgomery Enterprises this morning,
00:02:56the company he built five decades ago.
00:02:59His successor is presumed to be Aston Montgomery,
00:03:03his eldest son and heir, who is known not only for his playboy ways, but his corporate ruthlessness.
00:03:11Stella Evans?
00:03:15Come 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. I'm sorry, but I can't hire you.
00:03:38Please. I really need the money.
00:03:44So do 400 other applicants. What 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.
00:03:57This interview is over.
00:04:01Hey, you can't just walk away from me, you entitled prick.
00:04:07What did you say to me?
00:04:08You heard me, just because you think you're better than everyone else.
00:04:17Shut up.
00:04:25No, you...
00:04:28No, you...
00:04:35What is that doing in my office?
00:04:49That, Mr. Montgomery, is your love child.
00:04:58I love you.
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.
00:05:39Perhaps I misjudged you.
00:05:48So the rumors are true. I'm a grandfather.
00:05:51No, father, this is...
00:05:53The board will never let an irresponsible playboy lead the company.
00:05:57You said there'd be no more scandals.
00:06:00I have no choice but to turn the company over to your brother, Clive.
00:06:03No, father, there are no scandals.
00:06:08Father, this is Stella, my fiancée and the mother of my child.
00:06:15What the fuck?
00:06:23Excuse me?
00:06:26You expect me to believe this low-class woman is your fiancée?
00:06:29Do not speak about her that way.
00:06:31I love her.
00:06:33And I'm tired of hiding it.
00:06:36Right, 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 gonna let your fiancée 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 fiancée again, I'll break more than just your camera.
00:07:01Sir, sir, we're gonna have it.
00:07:03Can we answer our questions, please?
00:07:05You cannot ignore us, Mr. Montgomery.
00:07:07Come on now, Mr. Montgomery.
00:07:09Hi.
00:07:23This place is beautiful.
00:07:27So what do we do now?
00:07:30Simple.
00:07:32We do what fiancées do.
00:07:39Look at me.
00:07:53The hell was that?
00:07:55This is part of the deal.
00:07:57We have to sell it.
00:07:59I have someone looking into where I am.
00:08:01I'm not gonna let you do this.
00:08:03I'm not gonna let you do this.
00:08:05I'm not gonna let you do this.
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?
00:08:14Clive.
00:08:16Welcome home.
00:08:18This fiancée 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...
00:08:34Evans...
00:08:36Is it?
00:08:38And 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.
00:08:48It's most definitely my business.
00:08:52The Montgomerys don't associate with peasants.
00:08:54Bad for business.
00:08:56Leave her alone!
00:08:58For what?
00:09:00Care to find out?
00:09:03So, my playboy brother does have feelings.
00:09:06And for a low-class gold digger, no less.
00:09:10Be careful.
00:09:12It's only a matter of time before he dumps you
00:09:14and that baby back into the gutter where you came from.
00:09:22She's cute.
00:09:28I'm not gonna let you do this.
00:09:30I'm not gonna let you do this.
00:09:32Looks just like you, brother.
00:09:48Get away from our baby and get out of our house!
00:09:51Fine.
00:09:53But there's something weird going on here.
00:09:55And 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.
00:10:29Your 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.
00:10:40If there's anything you need while I'm gone, just call.
00:10:43But the nurse will take care of you.
00:10:45How did you get the money for a nurse?
00:10:47It's so expensive.
00:10:49I...
00:10:51I got a job.
00:10:53Don't worry about me.
00:10:56I gotta go.
00:10:58I'll see you soon.
00:11:11Holy hot.
00:11:18See something you like?
00:11:23I...
00:11:25Miss Evans?
00:11:28Everything okay?
00:11:32Emma needs us.
00:11:35Right behind you.
00:11:43What's wrong with her?
00:11:46Hey, baby.
00:11:48Hey.
00:11:50There you go.
00:11:52Good job, baby girl.
00:11:55How did you do that?
00:11:57She just wanted to be held.
00:11:59You should hold her.
00:12:01Oh, I don't know about that.
00:12:03She's your daughter.
00:12:05She probably wants you more than anyone else.
00:12:07Trust me.
00:12:09I wish my 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.
00:12:25Um...
00:12:27Hey.
00:12:29Emma, um...
00:12:33I'm your daddy.
00:12:39See?
00:12:41That wasn't so bad.
00:12:45Okay.
00:12:47Good night, Emma.
00:12:55Okay.
00:13:03It's the private investigator.
00:13:05The sooner I find out who Emma's mom is,
00:13:07the better.
00:13:25Did the private chef make all this?
00:13:27No.
00:13:29I did.
00:13:33A playboy billionaire who cooks.
00:13:35Maybe I misjudged you.
00:13:39Not such a prick after all, huh?
00:13:41Maybe life with Aston won't be so bad after all.
00:13:47Uh, but...
00:13:49Back to business.
00:13:51My family is coming over for dinner
00:13:53tonight.
00:13:55They want to meet you.
00:13:57You're family.
00:13:59Aston, I can't...
00:14:01Oh, you can. And 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 fiance
00:14:17and the mother of my child, starting with my family.
00:14:20Phone ringing.
00:14:24Mom?
00:14:26Mom?
00:14:28Can you hear me?
00:14:30My mom's in trouble.
00:14:38Danny, what are you doing?
00:14:40I paid you!
00:14:42Well, I changed my mind when I heard
00:14:44you were shacking up with some billionaire.
00:14:50Danny?
00:14:52Danny?
00:14:54Danny?
00:14:56Danny?
00:14:58Danny?
00:15:00Danny?
00:15:02Danny?
00:15:04Danny?
00:15:06Danny?
00:15:08Knock it off!
00:15:10You know my mom needs that medicine.
00:15:12Well, now that you've come into
00:15:14some money, you can pay me more.
00:15:16Two years, and I should do it.
00:15:18She'll pay you what she owes you,
00:15:20and not a cent more.
00:15:26Is this your billionaire boyfriend?
00:15:28Actually,
00:15:30he's my fiance.
00:15:32And he's rich.
00:15:34And powerful.
00:15:36He has a bigger dick than you.
00:15:44You really think you're good enough for him?
00:15:47I only fucked you because I felt
00:15:49sorry for you, and you're done.
00:15:58Stella is more than good enough for me.
00:16:00If you touch her again, I will kill you.
00:16:04Aston, stop.
00:16:06He's not worth it.
00:16:10Stella?
00:16:12Mom!
00:16:14Mom!
00:16:16Hey.
00:16:18Stella.
00:16:20Stella, he took my medicine.
00:16:22I have it right here, Mrs. Evans.
00:16:26That man
00:16:28will 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.
00:16:48For helping me with my mom.
00:16:50That wasn't part of the deal.
00:16:57Not everything I do has to be about our deal, Stella.
00:17:07Still,
00:17:09thank you.
00:17:11And I'm sorry for calling you a prick earlier.
00:17:13Why?
00:17:16I can be a prick
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.
00:17:28But I have nothing to wear.
00:17:32I'll take care of that.
00:17:46Okay.
00:18:09I hoped you'd pick the red.
00:18:11You look beautiful.
00:18:15I'm still debating what shoes to wear, though.
00:18:17Allow me.
00:18:45There's one thing missing.
00:18:53There's one thing missing.
00:18:59A ring.
00:19:02May I?
00:19:15Perfect fit.
00:19:21Aston, it's
00:19:23too much.
00:19:25I don't deserve this.
00:19:27No.
00:19:29Whoever told you this is more than you deserve is wrong.
00:19:33Because nothing is too much for my future wife.
00:19:37Even if it's only for appearances.
00:19:39You were made to wear it.
00:19:42Let's go.
00:19:44I want to show off my new fiancée.
00:20:12You ready to sell this?
00:20:18Aston, a word.
00:20:22It'll take a moment.
00:20:26Go.
00:20:28I'll be fine.
00:20:42Stella.
00:20:44How nice of you to join us.
00:20:46This is the woman who
00:20:48trapped our Aston with a bastard
00:20:50childhood.
00:20:52Funny.
00:20:54It's hard to believe that
00:20:56you had a baby less than a year ago.
00:20:58Mother, be nice.
00:21:00I'm sure Stella's
00:21:02trying her best.
00:21:04I didn't know Aston had a sister.
00:21:08Sister?
00:21:10No.
00:21:12I'm Clarissa.
00:21:14Aston's
00:21:16ex-fiancée.
00:21:24Oh god.
00:21:26I'm so sorry.
00:21:28I'm so sorry.
00:21:30I'm sorry.
00:21:33Oh god.
00:21:35Is she pregnant with Aston's baby?
00:21:39No wonder Aston
00:21:41didn't introduce you earlier.
00:21:43You're nothing like me.
00:21:45And thank god for that.
00:21:47Stella would never cheat on me and get knocked up by my brother.
00:21:49At least we didn't hide
00:21:51our child from the entire family.
00:21:53That's right.
00:21:55Where even is my
00:21:57step-grandbaby?
00:21:59You see, Robert.
00:22:01A legitimate father is able to 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
00:22:11this peasant
00:22:13certainly doesn't help your case.
00:22:15Excuse me?
00:22:17Who are you calling peasant?
00:22:19Being rich doesn't mean you can walk all over me.
00:22:23How dare you talk back
00:22:25to me like that?
00:22:28You can't even
00:22:30control your worthless fiancé.
00:22:32You'll never be good enough
00:22:34to be CEO.
00:22:36Aston is the only
00:22:38person who should run Montgomery Enterprises.
00:22:40Anyone else's CEO would be a mistake.
00:22:42Especially
00:22:44your son.
00:22:52You have upset
00:22:54my fiancé and I won't stand for that.
00:22:56Dinner is cancelled.
00:22:58Get out of my house.
00:23:02Now.
00:23:20Sorry if I was out of line.
00:23:22No. Thank you for defending me.
00:23:26You didn't have to do that.
00:23:29Of course I did.
00:23:33I'm your fiancé.
00:23:39I never should have brought you into this.
00:23:43It's not fair to you.
00:23:47I'll pay you what I owe you.
00:23:51Take the money and go, Stella.
00:23:53What's going to happen to you and Emma?
00:23:55Don't worry about us.
00:23:57I do worry about you.
00:23:59I care about you both.
00:24:01I'm sorry, Stella, but
00:24:03this contract between us is over.
00:24:09What contract?
00:24:17What contract?
00:24:19I told you what would happen
00:24:21if I caught you lying.
00:24:23We're not lying.
00:24:25Prove it.
00:24:27We were just talking about a prenup.
00:24:29Aston wants me to sign one
00:24:31to protect your family.
00:24:33I think it's admirable.
00:24:39I see.
00:24:49You've saved me twice
00:24:51in the last 20 minutes.
00:24:57You are not what I expected.
00:24:59What did you expect?
00:25:03I don't know.
00:25:05Not you.
00:25:11Why are you looking at me
00:25:13like you want to kiss me?
00:25:15Because I do want to kiss you.
00:25:17Because I do want to kiss you.
00:25:25Because I do want to kiss you.
00:25:29That's all I've thought about since you put on that red dress.
00:25:35We probably shouldn't complicate
00:25:37this whole fake
00:25:39relationship thing.
00:25:41Especially since we're not actually getting married.
00:25:43You're right.
00:25:45We'll break off this engagement
00:25:47as soon as possible
00:25:49and we'll both get everything we want.
00:25:51I have some good news.
00:25:53You're getting married.
00:25:55Tomorrow.
00:26:11I have some good news.
00:26:13You're getting married.
00:26:15Tomorrow.
00:26:21Congratulations.
00:26:23By this time tomorrow,
00:26:25you'll officially be husband and wife.
00:26:27Tomorrow?
00:26:29Unless there's some sort of
00:26:31problem with getting married tomorrow.
00:26:33It's just...
00:26:35we're not in a rush.
00:26:37But the board is.
00:26:39A child out of wedlock
00:26:41is a scandal.
00:26:43And one that must be remedied immediately.
00:26:45I hope that won't be a problem.
00:26:55Married?
00:26:57That wasn't part of the deal.
00:26:59I know.
00:27:01But would it be so bad
00:27:03being married to me?
00:27:09No.
00:27:11No.
00:27:13No.
00:27:15It's just...
00:27:17this isn't
00:27:19exactly how I pictured getting married.
00:27:29It takes some time to think about it.
00:27:33But I need an answer tonight.
00:27:43Mom.
00:27:45How did you know
00:27:47when you were ready to get married?
00:27:49I don't think anybody
00:27:51ever is ready.
00:27:53Truly.
00:27:55I mean, your father and I
00:27:57certainly weren't.
00:27:59You weren't?
00:28:01No.
00:28:03We were young.
00:28:05Too young, even.
00:28:07But your father made me feel
00:28:09a way I'd never felt before.
00:28:11He made me feel loved.
00:28:13Valued.
00:28:15Whole.
00:28:31But...
00:28:33it didn't even work out.
00:28:35It ended before I was born.
00:28:37Just because something
00:28:39doesn't last
00:28:41doesn't mean you can't enjoy it
00:28:43while you have it.
00:28:49Plus,
00:28:51your father gave me you,
00:28:53which is more than enough.
00:28:57I can't deny it.
00:28:59I want to marry Aston,
00:29:01even if it's temporary.
00:29:03He and Emma are my family.
00:29:05We will break my heart
00:29:07when it's all over.
00:29:19She just went down.
00:29:23Look, I know this isn't what you wanted.
00:29:25And...
00:29:27you deserve to marry someone
00:29:29who truly cares about you.
00:29:31So...
00:29:34if you want to walk away now,
00:29:36I won't blame you.
00:29:40So...
00:29:42do you have an answer for me?
00:29:47So...
00:29:49do you have an answer for me?
00:29:51I do.
00:29:55Aston, look at me.
00:29:59I never thought I would get married
00:30:01as part of a contract, but
00:30:03I said I'd help you,
00:30:05and I'll keep my word.
00:30:09It means a lot to me.
00:30:15I have to say
00:30:17I'm surprised Aston is going through with this.
00:30:19I definitely thought that he would have
00:30:21dumped you by now.
00:30:23He probably will once he sees her in that rag.
00:30:25It was my mother's
00:30:27wedding 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.
00:30:35He clearly
00:30:37doesn't care about you.
00:30:41Doesn'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?
00:31:13No,
00:31:15but that's only because I wanted something bigger.
00:31:21From Mr. Montgomery,
00:31:23Bowie's fiance.
00:31:25Oh my god.
00:31:27It's gorgeous.
00:31:29That's the late Mrs.
00:31:31Montgomery's necklace.
00:31:33That's supposed to be mine.
00:31:35I am under strict orders
00:31:37to allow nobody
00:31:39but Ms. Evans near this necklace.
00:31:41Especially you.
00:31:55You look like
00:31:57the future Mrs. Montgomery.
00:32:01I do.
00:32:03If only this were real.
00:32:25I know that you and Aston
00:32:27are lying about your relationship.
00:32:31So if you know what's best,
00:32:33you won't go through with this wedding.
00:32:35Aston isn't who you think he is.
00:32:41So if you know what's best,
00:32:43you won't go through with this wedding.
00:32:49Aston isn't the man you think he is.
00:32:51Whatever money you think
00:32:53you might be getting,
00:32:55whatever feelings you think he may have,
00:32:57it's all just one big lie.
00:33:01Your vision of the future
00:33:03is 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
00:33:25in front of everyone,
00:33:27or I'll make sure you regret it.
00:33:29Your choice, Stella Evans.
00:33:31Don't make the wrong one.
00:33:53You look beautiful.
00:33:55Hey.
00:33:57Is everything okay?
00:33:59Is it true?
00:34:01Is Aston just using me to get what he wants?
00:34:03Is he just using Emma?
00:34:05Dearly beloved,
00:34:07we are gathered here today
00:34:09to join this man and woman
00:34:11in holy matrimony.
00:34:13Marriage is powerful,
00:34:15and wouldn't it make you feel lucky to be married?
00:34:17Do you take Aston to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:34:19Do you take Aston to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:34:31I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:34:39I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:34:49Oh my God.
00:34:55What the hell was that about?
00:34:59Is this all fake, Aston?
00:35:01Every word you're telling me,
00:35:03every look you're giving me, is it all just some charade?
00:35:05Jesus.
00:35:07Is this necklace even real?
00:35:09God.
00:35:19God.
00:35:35I have meant
00:35:37every word I've said to you.
00:35:39None of this is a lie.
00:35:43And this necklace?
00:35:45My mother
00:35:47left it to me before she died.
00:35:49She said
00:35:51that I should only give it to someone
00:35:53I care about.
00:35:55Someone I saw a future with.
00:36:15I've fallen for you Stella Evans.
00:36:17I have been since the moment we met.
00:36:25I don't know how I feel right now.
00:36:27Today's just been a lot
00:36:29and my mind is
00:36:31all over the place.
00:36:33You're right.
00:36:35This wedding's way too much, too soon.
00:36:37Stay here
00:36:39and I'll tell everybody
00:36:41the wedding is off.
00:36:45Excellent.
00:36:47A runaway bride is an even bigger scandal
00:36:49than a love child.
00:36:59This must be a record, brother.
00:37:01Two fiancées down.
00:37:03At least this one made it to the altar.
00:37:07Hi everyone.
00:37:09Sorry to keep you waiting, but
00:37:11there won't be a wedding.
00:37:13Sorry to keep you waiting, but
00:37:15there won't be...
00:37:17Any more interruptions.
00:37:19Who's ready for a wedding?
00:37:43Okay, let's try
00:37:45this again.
00:37:47Dearly beloved,
00:37:49we are gathered here today
00:37:51to join this man and this woman
00:37:53in holy matrimony.
00:37:55Marriage is powerful in ways you'd never expect.
00:37:57It's something that makes you
00:37:59feel lucky to be alive
00:38:01exactly when and where you are.
00:38:03It's choosing your partner
00:38:05at every moment of every day
00:38:07and of learning how to
00:38:09love even the darkest parts of another person.
00:38:11A true partner
00:38:13stays with you through thick and thin,
00:38:15in sickness and in health,
00:38:17for better or worse,
00:38:19for richer or poorer,
00:38:21on death do you part.
00:38:23Aston, do you take
00:38:25Stella to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:38:27I do.
00:38:29And Stella, do you take
00:38:31this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:38:41Stella,
00:38:43do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:38:55I do.
00:38:57Good.
00:38:59You may kiss the bride now.
00:39:11I'd like to congratulate
00:39:13my eldest son on his marriage
00:39:15today, and to
00:39:17announce that he's going to be
00:39:19taking over Montgomery Enterprises
00:39:21as my successor and CEO
00:39:23tomorrow.
00:39:25This is bullshit.
00:39:27CEO should be mine.
00:39:31This is your fault,
00:39:33you little bitch.
00:39:35I hope that hurt.
00:39:37Oh my God.
00:39:39Not as much as this girl.
00:39:43Not as much as this girl.
00:39:49What the hell? You ruined my suit!
00:39:51If you touch my wife again, I will end you.
00:39:53Now get the hell out of my wedding.
00:40:01Baby!
00:40:03You're just gonna stand there and let him do that?
00:40:05You're right.
00:40:07I should have stopped him before the slap.
00:40:09Let's get out of here before
00:40:11someone else tries to ruin our wedding day.
00:40:21Are you okay?
00:40:25I'm fine.
00:40:27He barely got me.
00:40:31So,
00:40:33husband,
00:40:35what should we do next?
00:40:47I have wanted you
00:40:49since the moment we met,
00:40:51Mrs. Montgomery.
00:41:06Are you going?
00:41:11If I don't leave now,
00:41:13I won't be able
00:41:15to stop myself
00:41:17from tearing you out of that dress.
00:41:21You said I wanted you to stop?
00:41:31Since the moment I met you,
00:41:33you have consumed
00:41:35my everything.
00:41:37I can't eat.
00:41:39I can't sleep.
00:41:41I can't work without thinking about you.
00:41:43Without imagining
00:41:45that.
00:41:49Do you want me?
00:41:53More than anything.
00:42:03More than anything.
00:42:21Stella, help!
00:42:29The baby's not breathing.
00:42:33The baby's not breathing.
00:42:37Hey.
00:42:39I don't know what happened.
00:42:41One minute she was breathing
00:42:43and the next thing she...
00:42:45Thank God.
00:42:47Hey.
00:42:49It's okay.
00:42:51She's okay now, see?
00:42:53It's okay.
00:43:01That's the most terrified I've ever been in my life.
00:43:05That's because she's your baby girl and you love her.
00:43:09What if I can't do this on my own?
00:43:13What if I can't raise an entire human being?
00:43:19You can do this.
00:43:21You already are doing it.
00:43:23All 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 on who Emma's mom is.
00:43:51Mom.
00:43:53I wanted to let you know
00:43:55that I went through with the wedding.
00:43:57And I brought you a picture.
00:44:01I even wore your dress.
00:44:03Stella.
00:44:07Oh, you're so beautiful.
00:44:11I'm so glad you found someone
00:44:13to take care of you after Mom died.
00:44:15I'm so glad you found someone
00:44:17to take care of you after Mom died.
00:44:21What are you talking about?
00:44:29What's this?
00:44:31A clinical trial?
00:44:33But it cost ten million dollars?
00:44:35Something like that could save my mom.
00:44:37But how am I ever going to get that much money?
00:44:46There you are.
00:44:51Everything okay?
00:44:53Yep.
00:44:55What are you doing?
00:44:59I have to
00:45:01take a paternity test.
00:45:09I have to
00:45:11take a paternity test.
00:45:15I guess we'll know soon
00:45:17if I'm Emma's father.
00:45:19If?
00:45:21They got the footage from the office
00:45:23the day Emma was dropped off.
00:45:25But the woman who was there...
00:45:27I don't recognize her.
00:45:31So you just forgot
00:45:33someone you slept with?
00:45:35That wasn't
00:45:37a good time in my life.
00:45:39I made a lot of bad decisions.
00:45:41But I've changed.
00:45:43You've changed me.
00:45:47Which
00:45:49is why I need you to come with me
00:45:51to the board meeting today.
00:45:53You keep me grounded.
00:45:55Of course I'll go with you.
00:46:01Today is about
00:46:03more than my retirement.
00:46:05It's about the future
00:46:07of Montgomery Enterprises.
00:46:09A future
00:46:11that will be ripped to shreds if you allow
00:46:13your lying son
00:46:15to become CEO.
00:46:17What are you talking about?
00:46:21You.
00:46:23You're not the mother of his child.
00:46:29You're not the mother of his child.
00:46:31You're lying.
00:46:33They're both lying to all of you.
00:46:35Stella Evans.
00:46:3710 o'clock interview
00:46:39with Ashton Montgomery
00:46:41for the executive assistant
00:46:43position.
00:46:45Looks like he offered a different
00:46:47job to her altogether.
00:46:49This man would go so far
00:46:51as to marry a complete stranger
00:46:53in order to become your CEO.
00:46:55I don't know how much
00:46:57he's paying you, but it must be a lot.
00:46:59If this is true, son,
00:47:01you're going to be
00:47:03If this is true, son,
00:47:05you're an embarrassment to this family and this
00:47:07company.
00:47:09The board can't proceed
00:47:11with a vote.
00:47:13It's true.
00:47:15Stella was there to interview
00:47:17that day. Me.
00:47:19To see if I was up for the challenge
00:47:21to raising our daughter.
00:47:23But this isn't about my personal life.
00:47:25This is about what's best for Montgomery
00:47:27Enterprises going into the future.
00:47:29And since I've become COO, I have
00:47:31more than doubled our profits.
00:47:33And if that's not enough for you, then I don't know what is.
00:47:37It doesn't
00:47:39matter what you say.
00:47:41Mom already promised me the position of
00:47:43CEO would be mine.
00:47:45Enough.
00:47:47We will vote now.
00:47:51Is there a vote for Clive?
00:47:55And for Ashton?
00:48:01It's a tie.
00:48:03So it all comes down to my father.
00:48:07And I have decided.
00:48:13The new CEO
00:48:15of Montgomery Enterprises
00:48:17is
00:48:23The new CEO
00:48:25of Montgomery Enterprises
00:48:27is
00:48:29Ashton Montgomery.
00:48:35What about me?
00:48:37I've looked at the financials.
00:48:39You've spent more time at the country
00:48:41club than in the boardroom.
00:48:43It's not my fault their
00:48:45Cobb salads are excellent.
00:48:47And the boardroom is boring.
00:48:53Come on.
00:48:55Come on.
00:48:59Congratulations, Ashton.
00:49:01The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises.
00:49:03But make me doubt
00:49:05anything else, and I'll rip everything
00:49:07away from you too, without hesitation.
00:49:09Congratulations.
00:49:23So what's your first act as CEO?
00:49:27I violate every page of the HR handbook.
00:49:29It's a good thing you never gave me that job.
00:49:31I need you.
00:50:01It's normal.
00:50:23It's normal.
00:50:32Just a minute.
00:50:40Ashton.
00:50:42The board would like to see you.
00:50:44To go over some financials.
00:50:46Of course.
00:50:49Knock, knock.
00:50:53Clarissa, if you're here to bully me,
00:50:55I am not in the mood.
00:50:57That's not why I'm here.
00:50:59I'm here as a courtesy.
00:51:01You deserve the truth, and clearly
00:51:03Ashton isn't going to give it to you.
00:51:09I'm not here to bully you.
00:51:11I'm here as a courtesy.
00:51:13You deserve the truth, and clearly
00:51:15Ashton isn't going to give it to you.
00:51:18This baby isn't Clive's.
00:51:21It's Ashton's.
00:51:30What the hell are you talking about?
00:51:32That baby cannot be Ashton's.
00:51:34Well, we clearly couldn't tell you until the roost was over.
00:51:36Until he became CEO.
00:51:38But now that it's all over,
00:51:40and Ashton got what he wanted,
00:51:42we don't need you anymore.
00:51:45He doesn't need you anymore.
00:51:53What the hell are you talking about?
00:51:56Open Ashton's desk drawer and find out.
00:52:10Oh my god.
00:52:12He signed the divorce papers.
00:52:15Clarissa's telling the truth.
00:52:25You can go now.
00:52:37Sweet Emma.
00:52:40I'm going to miss you so much.
00:52:43What's going on?
00:52:45I'm saying goodbye to Emma,
00:52:47and then I'm out of here.
00:52:49Just like you want me to be.
00:52:55Stella, why are you packing?
00:52:57Here, I signed them.
00:52:59You don't have to worry about me anymore.
00:53:01What are you talking about?
00:53:02Come on Ashton, you used me
00:53:04to get everything you wanted.
00:53:06I was a fool to think we could ever be together.
00:53:08I didn't think we could ever have a family together.
00:53:10Oh, and by the way,
00:53:12congratulations on the baby.
00:53:14I hope you and Clarissa are really happy together.
00:53:17Wait!
00:53:24Wait!
00:53:29Please, let me explain.
00:53:33What could you possibly have to say to me?
00:53:36There is nothing
00:53:38and will never be anything
00:53:40between me and Clarissa ever again.
00:53:42I'm not even the father of her child,
00:53:44and these, I had these drawn up the day I met you
00:53:46before I knew this could be anything more than a contract.
00:53:49And this, just take it.
00:53:53Please, just take everything out.
00:53:55All I want is you and Emma.
00:53:57I could take or leave anything else.
00:53:59You don't mean that.
00:54:01Of course I mean it.
00:54:03Every word I have said to you.
00:54:06I'm in Stella, I'm all in.
00:54:09Are you?
00:54:15I'm in Stella, I'm all in.
00:54:18Are you?
00:54:22Yeah, I'm all in.
00:54:29Yes.
00:54:34Yes.
00:54:38The paternity results are in.
00:54:42I'm not Emma's father.
00:54:53The paternity results are in.
00:54:57I'm not Emma's father.
00:55:04I can't believe I'm not her father.
00:55:09If she doesn't belong to me, then
00:55:12why would that woman have shown up at my office
00:55:14and made me believe she was mine?
00:55:19I can't tell you why this is happening, Aston.
00:55:22But Emma's lucky to have you as a dad.
00:55:26Biological or not.
00:55:29We need to find the truth.
00:55:31We need to find the truth.
00:55:39Dahlia's behind it all.
00:55:45I'm not telling you anything.
00:55:47This isn't a game, Dahlia.
00:55:49She's a child. Where did Emma come from?
00:55:52Step down as CEO and I'll tell you.
00:55:54Step down as CEO and I'll tell you.
00:55:56Are you kidding me?
00:55:58This is way bigger than a CEO position.
00:56:01This is a child's life you're messing with.
00:56:04Shut up, you little tramp.
00:56:07If you hadn't come along pretending to be her mother
00:56:10the scandal would have proceeded as planned
00:56:13and that little child would be back at the orphanage
00:56:16right where she belonged.
00:56:19Orphanage?
00:56:21That's right.
00:56:23The baby's trash, just like you.
00:56:37My hair!
00:56:44Aston, you better get control of your little wife.
00:56:47Or nothing!
00:56:49You will not speak about my wife or my family that way.
00:56:52Get out.
00:57:05Call every orphanage in the city
00:57:08until you find one that's missing a baby.
00:57:20It's okay.
00:57:22It's okay, we're going to figure this out.
00:57:28Oh my God, did she just call me Mama?
00:57:30She's yours if you want her to be.
00:57:33I want to be, but
00:57:36until we figure out what's going on
00:57:38I can't get attached.
00:57:42I understand.
00:57:46Mr. Montgomery! Mr. Montgomery!
00:57:48Mr. Montgomery!
00:57:50What can you say about the recent allegations
00:57:52that Ms. Evans is not the mother of your son's child?
00:57:56Mr. Montgomery!
00:57:58You 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.
00:58:10No more scandals!
00:58:12What are you talking about?
00:58:14I went out on a limb for you, son.
00:58:16I trusted you.
00:58:18And this has been a lie the whole time?
00:58:22You say she's the mother of your child?
00:58:24Prove it, or I'll expect you to step down
00:58:26as CEO tomorrow morning.
00:58:30How do we prove it?
00:58:34Simple.
00:58:36Take a maternity test.
00:58:42How do we prove it?
00:58:46Take a maternity test.
00:59:06Aston.
00:59:08If I take a maternity test,
00:59:10they're gonna know that Emma's not mine
00:59:12and then we may lose her.
00:59:14No.
00:59:18They've been lying.
00:59:20If they find out,
00:59:22there's no way we can keep Emma.
00:59:26Mom!
00:59:28Mom!
00:59:32My mom is dying!
00:59:40Her head is so warm.
00:59:42It's okay.
00:59:52My 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.
01:00:12Hey.
01:00:16Hey.
01:00:18My mom's getting worse.
01:00:22She needs this experimental treatment,
01:00:24but we can't afford it, so...
01:00:28Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:32I 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?
01:00:42Ten million dollars.
01:00:44I'll pay it.
01:00:46Every penny.
01:00:54I'll pay it.
01:00:56Every penny.
01:00:58Aston...
01:01:00Like I said,
01:01:02money doesn't matter.
01:01:04I would do anything for you,
01:01:06anything for our family.
01:01:12You have no idea what this means to me.
01:01:22How do you always know
01:01:24just what to say to make me feel better?
01:01:26Because I know you.
01:01:28I know what you want.
01:01:30I know what you need.
01:01:32That'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,
01:01:46Stella Evans.
01:01:52And I love you,
01:01:54Stella Evans.
01:02:02You love me?
01:02:04I do.
01:02:08I can't believe it's taking me so long to say it.
01:02:16Please tell me you feel the same.
01:02:22I don't know what I'm feeling.
01:02:24It's all just...
01:02:26It's too much.
01:02:30I understand.
01:02:34I understand.
01:02:40Hi, I'd like to pay a bill
01:02:42for Mary Evans.
01:02:44It has?
01:02:48By who?
01:02:52I see.
01:03:14A year ago,
01:03:16I gave up my baby girl.
01:03:20I had no choice,
01:03:22and it broke my heart.
01:03:24The chances are almost impossible,
01:03:26but I have to know.
01:03:28Could Emma be my daughter?
01:03:34Hello?
01:03:40Hello?
01:03:42I'd like to schedule a maternity test.
01:03:54Hey, Stella, do you...
01:03:58Everything okay?
01:04:00Fine.
01:04:03You seem...
01:04:05off.
01:04:10I'm fine.
01:04:12I just...
01:04:14I have a lot on my mind.
01:04:18I just can't stop 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.
01:04:30Why not?
01:04:32Don't worry about what's fair to...
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.
01:04:57I need to ask.
01:04:59Does the name
01:05:01Andrew Beaumont
01:05:03mean anything to you?
01:05:05No.
01:05:07Should it?
01:05:09Well,
01:05:11he paid for your mother's treatment.
01:05:13All...
01:05:15ten million.
01:05:27Mom?
01:05:29Who's Andrew Beaumont?
01:05:34How...
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!
01:06:10I spoke with the doctors.
01:06:15She's been put in a medically induced coma
01:06:17until the swelling in her brain subsides.
01:06:21It's all my fault
01:06:23if I wouldn't have pushed her.
01:06:25No, Estella, it is not your fault.
01:06:27I know.
01:06:29I know, and I know she's sick.
01:06:31I 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.
01:06:37It'll all be fine.
01:06:41No matter how much you keep blaming yourself,
01:06:43I'll say it again.
01:06:45It's not your fault.
01:06:53It's not your fault.
01:07:17Okay, Emma.
01:07:19Time to learn the truth.
01:07:23In breaking news,
01:07:25CEO Aston Montgomery
01:07:27has called a last-minute press conference
01:07:29to address the future
01:07:31of Montgomery Enterprises.
01:07:33Reporters have it on good authority
01:07:35that he is prepared to step down as CEO,
01:07:37handing the company over
01:07:39to his half-brother,
01:07:41Clive Montgomery,
01:07:43in the wake of a paternity scandal.
01:07:53Oh, my God.
01:07:55I can save him.
01:07:59Do you have anything to say about this?
01:08:01Ma'am, how do you answer the allegation
01:08:03that he's having an accusation?
01:08:05Sir, can you please tell her?
01:08:07Mr. Montgomery, you do understand
01:08:09that not forcing your wife
01:08:11to take a maternity test
01:08:13is an admissible act.
01:08:15It's not a crime.
01:08:17It's not a crime.
01:08:19It's not a crime.
01:08:21Forcing your wife to take a maternity test
01:08:23is an admission of guilt, right?
01:08:25Which means you've been lying.
01:08:27To everyone.
01:08:29Wait! We'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.
01:08:41Over here, ma'am.
01:08:45Hey! You know how much I'm willing to pay for those?
01:08:47Not enough. Trust me.
01:08:49Over here, ma'am.
01:08:57You took the maternity test? Why?
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.
01:09:07I don't owe anyone proof.
01:09:09Believe me or don't, but I am Emma's mother.
01:09:11I believe you.
01:09:13Don't even think about it, Dahlia.
01:09:19This is so sweet.
01:09:21This is so sweet.
01:09:23This is so sweet.
01:09:25This is so sweet.
01:09:27If only it mattered.
01:09:29If 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.
01:09:47To protect Emma.
01:09:49Aston, we were fine. All you've ever wanted to do is be safe.
01:09:51To be a great husband to you
01:09:53and 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
01:10:01you're working for me now, brother.
01:10:03I own the company now.
01:10:05Which means I
01:10:07owe you.
01:10:09Not quite.
01:10:13I just received an offer from Montgomery Enterprises.
01:10:15One that I couldn't refuse.
01:10:19Meet our buyer.
01:10:21Andrew Beaumont.
01:10:29Stella's father.
01:10:35Stella?
01:10:37You look just like your mother.
01:10:39This is ridiculous.
01:10:41You're trying to tell me
01:10:43that Stella's related to a billionaire?
01:10:45Ha!
01:10:47She's nothing but a piece of trash.
01:10:49Don't speak about my daughter that way.
01:10:51Your daughter?
01:10:53How dare you call me that?
01:10:55You left Mom and I.
01:10:57No.
01:10:59Stella and I never left you.
01:11:01Your mother,
01:11:03she kicked me out.
01:11:05She kicked me out.
01:11:07She kicked me out.
01:11:09Because I wasn't the husband
01:11:11or the father that I needed to be.
01:11:13But I'm here now
01:11:15to make
01:11:17it up to you.
01:11:19This company belongs to me.
01:11:21Not this low class peasant bitch.
01:11:23Ow!
01:11:25My baby!
01:11:27Damn that felt good.
01:11:29Get out of my office
01:11:31or I'll have you arrested for assault.
01:11:33Actually,
01:11:35the office belongs to my daughter now.
01:11:37As does the company.
01:11:41What?
01:11:47I'm the CEO
01:11:49of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:11:55I'm
01:11:57the CEO of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:11:59Montgomery Enterprises?
01:12:03Oh yes.
01:12:05Which means you get to decide
01:12:07how we get rid of Clive.
01:12:09You're nothing more
01:12:11than a spoiled little rich kid
01:12:13who thinks the world is out to get him.
01:12:15You never deserved this company.
01:12:17So fuck off.
01:12:19I...
01:12:21Mother!
01:12:23You'll let her talk to me
01:12:25that way?
01:12:27Those words have no power.
01:12:29Not anymore.
01:12:37This
01:12:39can't be happening.
01:12:41I planned everything perfectly.
01:12:45That little orphan would have made the perfect
01:12:47scandal if not for Stella
01:12:49interfering.
01:12:51And you!
01:12:53You were supposed to convince
01:12:55that little bitch that you were pregnant with
01:12:57Aston's baby. But no!
01:12:59You failed
01:13:01and fucked us all.
01:13:03I didn't.
01:13:07Clive, Clarissa, get the hell
01:13:09out of my office. You too, Dahlia.
01:13:11Get out! You can't
01:13:13kick me out. I'm Robert's
01:13:15wife.
01:13:17Not anymore.
01:13:19I want a divorce.
01:13:21What?
01:13:23This is not...
01:13:37I always thought she looked just like you when she was sleeping.
01:13:43I never thought I'd see her
01:13:45again.
01:13:47I never wanted
01:13:49to give her up, but
01:13:51when Mom got sick
01:13:53and the medical
01:13:55bills, I just...
01:13:57I knew we couldn't afford it.
01:14:01That's all in the past.
01:14:05But I want to talk about our future.
01:14:11How would you feel
01:14:13about one more?
01:14:15I could be persuaded.
01:14:17Let me persuade you.
01:14:45So,
01:14:47what's your
01:14:49first order of business as CEO?
01:14:51Well,
01:14:53since I've already
01:14:55violated the employee handbook...
01:14:57Twice.
01:15:01I was thinking we could talk business.
01:15:05No one knows more about
01:15:07Montgomery Enterprises than you.
01:15:11I was hoping
01:15:13you might show me the ropes.
01:15:15I'd be happy to.
01:15:21Let's violate the handbook one more time.
01:15:43I said it a thousand times.
01:16:13I'm pregnant.
01:16:27Hey.
01:16:29Your mother and I were just catching up.
01:16:33I still can't believe this.
01:16:37Forgive me for not
01:16:39telling you about your father sooner.
01:16:41When I got sick,
01:16:43I decided to write him.
01:16:45Forgiving him.
01:16:49I never thought you would.
01:16:53And, um...
01:16:55I hope you can forgive me too.
01:17:03You saved me and my family.
01:17:05Of course I'll forgive you.
01:17:11You know, speaking of family...
01:17:15I'd really like to meet my grandbaby.
01:17:21Which one?
01:17:29Stella!
01:17:35Aston, your assistant called and said it was an emergency.
01:17:37Emergency?
01:17:39Stella Evans?
01:17:43Yes.
01:17:47Come with me.
01:17:57The last time I heard those words,
01:17:59I got roped into a fake marriage.
01:18:03Well, this time,
01:18:05I'm hoping you'll say yes to a real one.
01:18:19Aston, is that your mother's ring?
01:18:21It is.
01:18:23And you're the only person who's ever
01:18:25been 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
01:18:35a beautiful child.
01:18:37Children?
01:18:39I'm pregnant.
01:18:45I want forever with you.
01:18:47No deals.
01:18:49No schemes.
01:18:51Just us.
01:18:53Will you marry me?
01:18:57Yes!
01:18:59Yes, I'll marry you!
01:19:03Yes!
01:19:13It's beautiful.
01:19:17Just like you.
01:19:33Say, Mrs. Montgomery,
01:19:35should we pull all this Popsicle stuff?
01:19:37Let's do it.
01:19:51I love you.
01:19:53How much do you love me?
01:19:55Enough to last forever.
01:20:03I love you.
