04:20Lord knows what she was thinking when she chose you. I'm gonna make you and Lily proud one day
04:25You'll see you're just lucky. She was too loved drunk to sign the prenup like I suggested
04:30Otherwise, I'd have gotten her to divorce you years ago
04:34Kevin still got butterflies every time he looked at Lily. Oh, hi, honey. Mother-son bonding time I see

05:03Freshen up, okay
05:12For their entire marriage Kevin had searched for a way to tell Lily
05:15He was actually the son of one of the oldest and wealthiest families in the entire country
05:24You fool
05:26You've wasted your entire inheritance
05:30What?
05:31You're out of the family
05:34Out
05:40Grandpa
05:44I don't care. How could you say that?
05:46You're always so mean to him it's because I care about you Lil you're a bad boss and Kevin no offense is an absolute bum
05:55He's like the before picture of an Ambien commercial. Oh my god. Seriously. Why do you stay with him?
06:07He wasn't always like this when we first met he was confident and charming and
06:14I don't know what happened
06:16But I just feel like if I stay with him long enough, he might actually find himself again
06:22I really love the man that he used to be
06:25But do you love the guy he is right now?
06:31Sometimes I just feel like I
06:34Don't know. He's just been so closed off lately and the romance is gone and and if he could just find himself again
06:42Be the man that I knew him to be the man that I know he can be
06:46You could be with any man you want. You shouldn't stay with someone out of pity. I don't want to talk about this anymore
06:52I just spent my whole day putting out fires at work
06:54we got a new contract last month and there was an error in some of the data and
07:00Now we owe the client seven million dollars
07:04Someone offered to step in and give us the three
07:07Someone offered to step in and give us the three
07:09But I still need to find the other four million by the end of the week or the whole company goes out of business
07:14Oh my god
07:17How are you gonna find four million dollars in one week?
07:28Never thought I'd hear from you again. I
07:31Was wrong about you your family needs you we've gone bankrupt. Will you save us?
07:37Do you honestly think that I would want that after everything you did to me?
07:41Don't you want to be the man you used to be?
07:44If he could just find himself again be the man that I knew him to be the man that I know he can be
07:51What do you say?
07:52Kevin's grandfather was right about one thing
07:55Kevin was tired of being the shell of a man that he was
07:59It was time. He developed a spine and built his own Empire
08:03Kevin
08:05More determined than ever Kevin knew what he had to do
