Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Billionaire from Montgomery Enterprises, Aston Montgomery, was known for his corporate ruthlessness.
00:00:21Stella Evans?
00:00:22You didn't even graduate from college?
00:00:29Mr. Montgomery is your love child.
00:00:33You said there'd be no more scandals.
00:00:34No, father, there are no scandals.
00:00:35Me, my fiance, and the mother of my child, until my father signs the company over to
00:00:36me.
00:00:37Then I will pay you five million dollars.
00:00:38Fine, but only because my rent's already overdue.
00:00:39It's hard to believe you had a baby less than a year ago.
00:00:52Montgomerys don't associate with peasants.
00:00:54Touch my wife again, I will end you.
00:00:55No, my baby!
00:00:56Maybe life with Aston won't be so bad after all.
00:01:01I would do anything for you, anything for our family.
00:01:05Aston isn't the man you think he is, whatever feelings you're thinking they have.
00:01:10I love you, Stella Evans.
00:01:12It's all just one big lie.
00:01:14I have meant every word I have said to you.
00:01:18I'm in, Stella, I'm all in.
00:01:19Are you?
00:01:26You have to be prepared, I don't have long.
00:01:45I'm not going to let you die, mom.
00:01:46You're going to beat this cancer.
00:01:48What does it look like I'm doing?
00:02:06Your rent's late.
00:02:10It's two days late and you said it wouldn't be an issue.
00:02:14I changed my mind.
00:02:15Yes, you want to pay up with that tight little behind of yours.
00:02:18You're out. By tomorrow morning.
00:02:24Please. You know my mom's cancer treatments are expensive.
00:02:27And I've never been late before.
00:02:33You should have thought of that before dumping me.
00:02:37I'll get you the money.
00:02:39I have a job interview today and
00:02:41the signing bonus will be more than enough to cover it.
00:02:44Just give me 24 hours.
00:02:48Then you better get that job.
00:02:51Daytime cupcake.
00:03:06Billionaire financer Robert Montgomery
00:03:08has announced his retirement from Montgomery Enterprises this morning.
00:03:12The company he built five decades ago.
00:03:15His successor is presumed to be Aston Montgomery,
00:03:18his eldest son and heir,
00:03:20who is known not only for his playboy ways,
00:03:23but his corporate ruthlessness.
00:03:27Stella Evans?
00:03:31Come with me.
00:03:33So, you don't have any corporate experience
00:03:36and you didn't even graduate from college?
00:03:40Well, something came up at home and I couldn't...
00:03:44I'm not running a charity, Ms. Evans.
00:03:46I'm sorry, but I can't hire you.
00:03:48Please. I really need the money.
00:03:53So do 400 other applicants.
00:03:55I'm sorry, but I can't hire you.
00:03:57Please. I really need the money.
00:04:00So do 400 other applicants.
00:04:02What makes you so special?
00:04:07My mom and I are about to get evicted.
00:04:10I really need this money.
00:04:13Look, I'm sorry, but I can't help you.
00:04:17This interview is over.
00:04:23Hey! You can't just walk away from me, you entitled prick!
00:04:29What did you say to me?
00:04:30You heard me just because you think you're better than everyone else!
00:04:40Shut up.
00:04:47No, you...
00:04:54What is that doing in my office?
00:05:00Can I see that?
00:05:09That, Mr. Montgomery, is your love child.
00:05:29I'm a father.
00:05:33What? What do I do?
00:05:36You said you needed a job.
00:05:39Help me.
00:05:48God, she's still crying.
00:05:56I can't believe that worked.
00:05:59See? You didn't need my help after all.
00:06:09So the rumors are true. I'm a grandfather.
00:06:12No, Father, this is...
00:06:13The board will never let an irresponsible playboy lead the company.
00:06:18You said there'd be no more scandals.
00:06:21I have no choice but to turn the company over to your brother, Clive.
00:06:25No, Father, there are no scandals.
00:06:29Father, this is Stella.
00:06:33My fiancée and the mother of my child.
00:06:36What the fuck?
00:06:44Excuse me?
00:06:45You expect me to believe this low-class woman is your fiancée?
00:06:49Do not speak about her that way.
00:06:51I love her.
00:06:54And I'm tired of hiding it.
00:06:56Right, honey?
00:07:00Please go with it.
00:07:08Right!
00:07:09Even in secret, Aston is a wonderful fiancée.
00:07:15On the outside, he's a...
00:07:19hardened businessman, but on the inside, he's a total sweetheart.
00:07:24Well, only for you.
00:07:27You saw through it the moment we met.
00:07:31Don't mistake me for a fool, son.
00:07:33If I find out you're lying, I will strip you of the company and your inheritance.
00:07:39And you'll have nothing left.
00:07:48Okay, we need to figure this out.
00:07:50We?
00:07:51We?
00:07:52Oh, there is no we.
00:07:53I am so out of here.
00:07:54No, you can't go.
00:07:56I need you.
00:08:02You're a billionaire.
00:08:03You can have any woman.
00:08:05Why me?
00:08:06You said you needed money, right?
00:08:08I happen to have a lot of it.
00:08:11Fee my fiancée and the mother of my child until my father signs the company over to me.
00:08:17Then I will pay you five million dollars.
00:08:20We can go our separate ways and we will never see each other again.
00:08:23Five million dollars could change everything.
00:08:25It could help me save my mom.
00:08:27Do we have a deal, Miss Evans?
00:08:35Fine.
00:08:36But only because my rent's overdue and I need you to pay it.
00:08:39Done.
00:08:43I'll have my assistant wire the money today.
00:08:47And you're mine.
00:08:49Starting right now.
00:09:01Mr. Montgomery! Mr. Montgomery!
00:09:03Excuse me! Excuse me!
00:09:04Is this your child?
00:09:05Why are you trying to keep this under wraps, sir?
00:09:07Step aside!
00:09:08Mr. Montgomery!
00:09:09How do you hide your fiancée and child for so long?
00:09:11Miss Evans!
00:09:12Did you have this baby on birth?
00:09:13Did you trap him?
00:09:15Don't ignore me, bitch.
00:09:18Be a good girl.
00:09:21Get off of her!
00:09:22Come on, sweetheart.
00:09:24You're just a little gold digger, aren't you?
00:09:34You want a quote?
00:09:36Fine.
00:09:37Our engagement announcement was ruined by some grabby asshole with a camera.
00:09:44And one more thing.
00:09:46Touch my fiancée again, I'll break more than just your camera.
00:09:49Sir! Sir!
00:09:50Mr. Montgomery, can we answer our questions, please?
00:09:52Sir! Sir!
00:09:53You cannot ignore us, Mr. Montgomery.
00:09:55Come on now, Mr. Montgomery.
00:09:56What do you have to say?
00:10:11This place is beautiful.
00:10:15So what do we do now?
00:10:18Simple.
00:10:20We do what fiancées do.
00:10:35Look at me.
00:10:45What the hell was that?
00:10:47This is part of the deal.
00:10:48All right, we have to sell it.
00:10:50I have someone looking into where Emma came from.
00:10:52It should all be sorted out soon.
00:10:54What will be sorted, brother?
00:10:57Clive.
00:10:59Welcome home.
00:11:00This fiancée and baby certainly came out of nowhere, didn't they?
00:11:04What are you doing here, Clive?
00:11:06I came to meet my niece and...
00:11:09I'm sorry.
00:11:10What are you doing here, Clive?
00:11:12I came to meet my niece and soon-to-be sister-in-law, you know.
00:11:16Since it all happened so fast.
00:11:20Stella...
00:11:22Evans, is it?
00:11:25And what trash barrel did you crawl out of?
00:11:30The trash barrel I crawled out of is none of your business.
00:11:34Oh, contraire, mon chéri.
00:11:37It's most definitely my business.
00:11:40The Montgomerys don't associate with peasants.
00:11:43Bad for business.
00:11:44Leave her alone!
00:11:46Or what?
00:11:48Care to find out?
00:11:52Care to find out?
00:11:55So, my playboy brother does have feelings.
00:11:59And for a low-class gold digger, no less.
00:12:03Be careful.
00:12:05It's only a matter of time before he dumps you and that baby
00:12:08back into the gutter where you came from.
00:12:15She's cute.
00:12:20Looks just like you, brother.
00:12:29Get away from our baby and get out of our house!
00:12:31Fine.
00:12:33But there's something weird going on here.
00:12:35And I'll find out what it is.
00:12:36The CEO position will be mine.
00:12:39And the first thing I'll do is fire you, brother.
00:12:54Is everyone in your family like that?
00:12:57My half-brother is just the tip of the iceberg.
00:13:00So keep your guard up.
00:13:07I have a few things I have to do.
00:13:10Your room is upstairs.
00:13:14What have I gotten myself into?
00:13:17At least I'll be able to take care of my mom when this is all over.
00:13:21If there's anything you need while I'm gone, just call.
00:13:23But the nurse will take care of you.
00:13:25How did you get the money for a nurse?
00:13:27It's so expensive.
00:13:29I...
00:13:31I got a job.
00:13:33Don't worry about me.
00:13:37I gotta go.
00:13:38I'll see you soon.
00:13:51Holy hot.
00:13:58See something you like?
00:14:03I...
00:14:06Miss Evans?
00:14:08Everything okay?
00:14:12Emma needs us.
00:14:15Right behind you.
00:14:23What's wrong with her?
00:14:26Hey, baby.
00:14:28Hey.
00:14:30There you go.
00:14:32Good job, baby girl.
00:14:34How did you do that?
00:14:36She just wanted to be held.
00:14:38We should hold her.
00:14:39Oh, I don't know about that.
00:14:41She's your daughter.
00:14:43She probably wants you more than anyone else.
00:14:47Trust me.
00:14:48I wish my dad was around.
00:14:51I've never held a baby before and she's so little I don't want to hurt her.
00:15:00Okay.
00:15:01Baby steps.
00:15:03Say goodnight to your daughter.
00:15:07Okay.
00:15:13Goodnight, Emma.
00:15:27It's the private investigator.
00:15:29The sooner I find out who Emma's mom is, the better.
00:15:37I love you.
00:15:49Did the private chef make all this?
00:15:52No.
00:15:54I did.
00:15:57A playboy billionaire who cooks.
00:16:00Maybe I misjudged you.
00:16:02Not such a prick after all, huh?
00:16:05Maybe life with Aston won't be so bad after all.
00:16:11But back to business.
00:16:15My family is coming over for dinner tonight.
00:16:20They want to meet you.
00:16:21Your family?
00:16:22Aston, I can't.
00:16:23Oh, you can.
00:16:25And you will.
00:16:35This is part of the deal.
00:16:36If you want the money, everyone has to believe that you're my fiancé and the mother of my child, starting with my family.
00:16:48Mom?
00:16:50Mom?
00:16:51Can you hear me?
00:16:53My mom's in trouble.
00:17:01Dani, what are you doing?
00:17:02I paid you!
00:17:04Well, I changed my mind when I heard you were shacking up with some billionaire.
00:17:14Don't touch those!
00:17:16That's all we have. Without them, she'll die.
00:17:19Well, now that you've come into some money, you can pay me more.
00:17:23Two years rent should do it.
00:17:26She'll pay you what she owes you, not a cent more.
00:17:33Is this your billionaire boyfriend?
00:17:36Actually, he's my fiancé.
00:17:40And he's rich and powerful.
00:17:44He has a bigger dick than you.
00:17:51You really think you're good enough for him?
00:17:54I only fucked you because I felt sorry for you and you're dying.
00:18:03Stella is more than good enough for me. If you touch her again, I will kill you.
00:18:15That was for my fiancé, and this one's for me.
00:18:23Stella?
00:18:25Mom!
00:18:27Mom!
00:18:29Hey, hey.
00:18:32Oh, and you took my medicine.
00:18:36I have it right here, Mrs. Evans.
00:18:40That man will never bother you again. I will make sure of it.
00:18:47And I'm sending someone for your things. They're coming to live with us.
00:18:59Thank you for helping me with my mom.
00:19:02That wasn't part of the deal.
00:19:09Not everything I do has to be about our deal, Stella.
00:19:21Still, thank you.
00:19:25And I'm sorry for calling you a prick earlier.
00:19:28Why? I can be a prick.
00:19:31When I really want to be.
00:19:35Speaking of our deal, be ready by 7 p.m. for the family dinner.
00:19:41But I have nothing to wear.
00:19:45I'll take care of that.
00:20:00Okay.
00:20:23I hoped you'd pick the red.
00:20:26You look beautiful.
00:20:29I'm still debating what shoes to wear, though.
00:20:32Allow me.
00:21:04There's one thing missing.
00:21:11There's one thing missing.
00:21:18A ring.
00:21:21May I?
00:21:22Yes.
00:21:27It's beautiful, but it's too much.
00:21:32It's only for appearances, nothing more.
00:21:35Please wear it.
00:21:47Shall we?
00:21:52Let's go.
00:22:07You ready to sell this?
00:22:15Asked in a word.
00:22:18It'll take a moment.
00:22:22Go.
00:22:25I'll be fine.
00:22:40Stella, how nice of you to join us.
00:22:43How nice of you to join us.
00:22:46This is the woman who trapped our Aston with a bastard child.
00:22:52Funny, it's hard to believe that you had a baby less than a year ago.
00:22:58Mother, be nice. I'm sure Stella's trying her best.
00:23:06Oh, I didn't know Aston had a sister.
00:23:08Sister?
00:23:11Sister?
00:23:12No, I'm Clarissa.
00:23:16Aston's ex-fiancé.
00:23:26Oh God, is she pregnant with Aston's baby?
00:23:32No wonder Aston didn't introduce you earlier.
00:23:35You're nothing like me.
00:23:36And thank God for that.
00:23:39Stella would never cheat on me and get knocked up by my brother.
00:23:42At least we didn't hide our child from the entire family.
00:23:46That's right. Where even is my step-grandbaby?
00:23:51You see, Robert, he's as negligent a father as he would be a CEO.
00:23:56She's with the nanny, to keep her from the judgment of people like you.
00:23:59All that matters is our judgment.
00:24:02And bringing in this peasant certainly doesn't help your case.
00:24:07Excuse me? Who are you calling peasant?
00:24:11Being rich doesn't mean you can walk all over me.
00:24:15How dare you talk back to me like that?
00:24:21You can't even control your worthless fiancé.
00:24:25You'll never be good enough to be CEO.
00:24:30Aston is the only person who should run Montgomery Enterprises.
00:24:35Anyone else's CEO would be a mistake.
00:24:38Especially your son.
00:24:47You have upset my fiancé and I won't stand for that.
00:24:51Dinner is cancelled. Get out of my house.
00:24:54Now.
00:25:13I'm sorry if I was out of line.
00:25:15No. Thank you for defending me.
00:25:19You didn't have to do that.
00:25:24Of course I did.
00:25:28I'm your fiancé.
00:25:34I never should have brought you into this.
00:25:37It's not fair to you.
00:25:41I'll pay you what I owe you. Just...
00:25:46Take the money and go, Stella.
00:25:48What's going to happen to you and Emma?
00:25:50Don't worry about us.
00:25:51I do worry about you.
00:25:55I care about you both.
00:25:56I'm sorry, Stella, but...
00:25:59This contract between us is over.
00:26:04What contract?
00:26:12What contract?
00:26:18I told you what would happen if I caught you lying.
00:26:21We're not lying.
00:26:23Prove it.
00:26:28We were just talking about a prenup.
00:26:31Aston wants me to sign one to protect your family.
00:26:35I think it's admirable.
00:26:40I see.
00:26:52You saved me twice in the last 20 minutes.
00:26:58You are not what I expected.
00:27:01What did you expect?
00:27:04I don't know.
00:27:07Not you.
00:27:12Why are you looking at me like you want to kiss me?
00:27:15Because I do want to kiss you.
00:27:23Because I do want to kiss you.
00:27:26That's all I've thought about since you put on that red dress.
00:27:35We probably shouldn't complicate this whole fake relationship thing,
00:27:40especially since we're not actually getting married.
00:27:45You're right.
00:27:47We'll break off this engagement as soon as possible
00:27:49and we'll both get everything we want.
00:27:52Deal?
00:28:13I have some good news.
00:28:15You're getting married.
00:28:17Tomorrow.
00:28:23Congratulations.
00:28:25By this time tomorrow, you'll officially be husband and wife.
00:28:29Tomorrow?
00:28:31Unless there's some sort of problem with getting married tomorrow.
00:28:35It's just...
00:28:37We're not in a rush.
00:28:39But the board is.
00:28:41A child out of wedlock is a scandal.
00:28:45And one that must be remedied immediately.
00:28:48I hope that won't be a problem.
00:28:59Married?
00:29:01That wasn't part of the deal.
00:29:02I know.
00:29:06But would it be so bad being married to me?
00:29:14No.
00:29:16No.
00:29:18It's just...
00:29:20This isn't exactly how I pictured getting married.
00:29:32It takes some time to think about it.
00:29:36But I need an answer tonight.
00:29:46Mom.
00:29:48How did you know when you were ready to get married?
00:29:51I don't think anybody ever is ready, truly.
00:29:57I mean, your father and I certainly weren't.
00:30:00You weren't?
00:30:01No.
00:30:03We were young.
00:30:05Too young, even.
00:30:08But your father made me feel the way I'd never felt before.
00:30:12He made me feel loved.
00:30:14Valued.
00:30:17Whole.
00:30:33It didn't even work out.
00:30:35It ended before I was born.
00:30:37Just because something doesn't last
00:30:40doesn't mean you can't enjoy it while you have it.
00:30:49Plus, your father gave me you,
00:30:53which is more than enough.
00:30:56I can't deny it.
00:30:58I want to marry Aston.
00:31:00Even if it's temporary.
00:31:01I can't deny it.
00:31:03I want to marry Aston.
00:31:05Even if it's temporary.
00:31:07He and Emma are my family.
00:31:09It would break my heart when it's all over.
00:31:22She just went down.
00:31:26Look, I know this isn't what you wanted.
00:31:28And you deserve to marry someone who truly cares about you.
00:31:33So...
00:31:37If you want to walk away now, I won't blame you.
00:31:43So...
00:31:45Do you have an answer for me?
00:31:50So...
00:31:52Do you have an answer for me?
00:31:54I do.
00:31:58Aston, look at me.
00:32:03I never thought I would get married as part of a contract,
00:32:06but I said I'd help you.
00:32:08And I'll keep my word.
00:32:14It means a lot to me.
00:32:20I have to say I'm surprised Aston is going through with this.
00:32:23I definitely thought that he would have dumped you by now.
00:32:25He probably will once he sees her in that rag.
00:32:29It was my mother's wedding dress.
00:32:31Of course it was.
00:32:33Only a poor person would wear something like that.
00:32:35I'm surprised your Prince Charming didn't buy you something better.
00:32:38He clearly doesn't care about you.
00:32:45Aston cares about me.
00:32:47And I don't need a dress to prove it.
00:32:49Are you sure?
00:32:51If he really loved you,
00:32:52he would have given you his mother's ring.
00:32:58Are you sure?
00:33:00If he really loved you,
00:33:02he would have given you his mother's ring.
00:33:14Is that what he gave you, Clarissa?
00:33:17No.
00:33:19But that's only because I wanted something bigger.
00:33:21But that's only because I wanted something bigger.
00:33:27From Mr. Montgomery.
00:33:29For his fiancée.
00:33:31Oh my God.
00:33:33It's gorgeous.
00:33:35That's the late Mrs. Montgomery's necklace.
00:33:39That's supposed to be mine.
00:33:41I am under strict orders
00:33:43to allow nobody but Ms. Evans near this necklace.
00:33:47Especially you.
00:33:48Especially you.
00:34:08You look like the future, Mrs. Montgomery.
00:34:13I do.
00:34:15If only this were real.
00:34:18If only this were real.
00:34:32I know that you and Aston are lying about your relationship.
00:34:37So if you know what's best,
00:34:39you won't go through with this wedding.
00:34:41Aston isn't who you think he is.
00:34:48Whatever money you think you might be getting,
00:34:51whatever feelings you think he may have,
00:34:54it's all just one big lie.
00:34:56Your vision of the future is not the reality.
00:35:05Thank you for the advice.
00:35:07But I don't know what to do.
00:35:09I don't know what to do.
00:35:11I don't know what to do.
00:35:13I don't know what to do.
00:35:15I don't know what to do.
00:35:16Thank you for the advice.
00:35:18But I don't need it.
00:35:20I can handle myself.
00:35:22And nothing you say can scare me.
00:35:28Say no to Aston in front of everyone,
00:35:31or I'll make sure you regret it.
00:35:34Your choice, Stella Evans.
00:35:36Don't make the wrong one.
00:36:02You look beautiful.
00:36:05Hey.
00:36:07Is everything okay?
00:36:09Is it true? Is Aston just using me to get what he wants?
00:36:12Is he just using Emma?
00:36:14Dearly beloved,
00:36:16we are gathered here today
00:36:18to join this man and woman in holy matrimony.
00:36:21Marriage is powerful in a way.
00:36:23You take Aston to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:36:35I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:36:44I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:36:47I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
00:37:00What the hell was that about?
00:37:03Is this all fake, Aston?
00:37:05Every word you're telling me,
00:37:07every look you're giving me,
00:37:08is it all just some charade?
00:37:10Jesus!
00:37:12Is this necklace even real?
00:37:14God!
00:37:16God!
00:37:21Hey.
00:37:23Hey.
00:37:24Hey.
00:37:44I have meant every word I've said to you.
00:37:48None of this is a lie.
00:37:51And this necklace?
00:37:55My mother left it to me before she died.
00:37:58She said
00:38:00that I should only give it to someone I care about.
00:38:03Someone I saw a future with.
00:38:05I'm sorry.
00:38:23I'm falling for you, Stella Evans.
00:38:26I have been since the moment I met you.
00:38:31I'm falling for you, Stella Evans.
00:38:34I have been since the moment we met.
00:38:44I don't know how I feel right now.
00:38:47Today's just been a lot and
00:38:50my mind is all over the place.
00:38:53You're right.
00:38:54This wedding's way too much, too soon.
00:38:58Stay here and
00:39:00I'll tell everybody the wedding is off.
00:39:03Okay.
00:39:10Excellent.
00:39:11A runaway bride is an even bigger scandal than a love child.
00:39:23This must be a record, brother.
00:39:25Two fiancées down.
00:39:27At least this one made it to the altar.
00:39:30Hi, everyone.
00:39:31Sorry to keep you waiting, but
00:39:33there won't be
00:39:34any more interruptions.
00:39:38Who's ready for a wedding?
00:40:00Okay, let's try this again.
00:40:04Dearly beloved,
00:40:05we are gathered here today
00:40:07to join this man and this woman
00:40:09in holy matrimony.
00:40:11Marriage is powerful in ways you'd never expect.
00:40:14It's something that makes you feel lucky to be alive
00:40:17exactly when and where you are.
00:40:20It's choosing your partner
00:40:21at every moment of every day
00:40:24and of learning how to love even the closest ones.
00:40:27And of learning how to love
00:40:28even the darkest parts of another person.
00:40:31A true partner stays with you
00:40:33through thick and thin
00:40:34in sickness and in health
00:40:36for better or worse
00:40:38for richer or poorer
00:40:39on death do you part.
00:40:42Aston,
00:40:43do you take Stella to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:40:46I do.
00:40:48And Stella,
00:40:49do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:40:58Stella,
00:40:59do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:41:11I do.
00:41:13Good.
00:41:14You may kiss the bride now.
00:41:28I'd like to congratulate my eldest son on his marriage today
00:41:33and to announce
00:41:34that he's going to be taking over Montgomery Enterprises
00:41:37as my successor and CEO tomorrow.
00:41:41This is bullshit.
00:41:43CEO should be mine.
00:41:48This is your fault, you little bitch.
00:41:50Clyde, what the?
00:41:52I hope that hurt.
00:41:53Oh my God.
00:41:55I hope that hurt.
00:41:56Oh my God.
00:41:57Not as much as this girl.
00:41:59You're my baby!
00:42:02Not as much as this girl.
00:42:04You're my baby!
00:42:08What the hell?
00:42:09You ruined my suit!
00:42:10If you touch my wife again, I will end you.
00:42:12Now get the hell out of my wedding.
00:42:20Baby!
00:42:21You're just going to stand there and let him do that?
00:42:25You're right.
00:42:26I should have stopped him before the slap.
00:42:28Let's get out of here before the bell starts to ring again.
00:42:41Are you okay?
00:42:51I'm okay.
00:43:21I'm okay.
00:43:22I'm okay.

00:44:46I'm okay.
00:44:47I'm okay.
00:44:49I'm okay.
00:44:53So-
00:44:55husband.
00:44:57What should we do next?
00:45:07I have wanted you
00:45:09since the moment we met.
00:45:11Mrs. Montgomery.
00:45:18Where are you going?
00:45:33If I don't leave now, I won't be able to stop myself from tearing you out of that dress.
00:45:43You said I wanted you to stop.
00:45:53Since the moment I met you, you have consumed my every thought.
00:45:58I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't work without thinking about you.
00:46:05Without imagining us.
00:46:10For me?
00:46:13More than anything.
00:46:40Stella, help!
00:46:52The baby's not breathing.
00:47:00Hey.
00:47:01I don't know what happened.
00:47:02One minute she was breathing and the next thing she...
00:47:06Thank God.
00:47:08Hey.
00:47:10It's okay.
00:47:11She's okay now, see?
00:47:23That's the most terrified I've ever been in my life.
00:47:27That's because she's your baby girl and you love her.
00:47:32What if I can't do this on my own?
00:47:35What if I can't raise an entire human being?
00:47:57You're not alone.
00:47:59You have me.
00:48:06It's the private investigator.
00:48:09He might have information on who Emma's mom is.
00:48:26Mom, I wanted to let you know that I went through with the wedding.
00:48:31And I brought you a picture.
00:48:36I even wore your dress.
00:48:38Stella.
00:48:41Oh, you're so beautiful.
00:48:45I'm so glad you found someone to take care of you after...
00:48:49Oh, God.
00:48:53What are you talking about?
00:49:01What's this?
00:49:03A clinical trial?
00:49:05But it cost ten million dollars?
00:49:07Something like that could save my mom.
00:49:10But how am I ever going to get that much money?
00:49:19There you are.
00:49:22Everything okay?
00:49:24Yep.
00:49:26What are you doing?
00:49:31I have to take a paternity test.
00:49:41I have to take a paternity test.
00:49:47I guess we'll know soon if I'm Emma's father.
00:49:50If?
00:49:52Well, they got the footage from the office the day Emma was dropped off.
00:49:56But the woman who was there...
00:49:59I don't recognize her.
00:50:03So you just forgot someone you slept with?
00:50:07That wasn't a good time in my life.
00:50:10And I made a lot of bad decisions.
00:50:14But I've changed.
00:50:16You've changed me.
00:50:20Which is why I need you to come with me to the board meeting today.
00:50:25You keep me grounded.
00:50:30Of course I'll go with you.
00:50:37Today is about more than my retirement.
00:50:40It's about the future of Montgomery Enterprise.
00:50:43A future that will be ripped to shreds if you allow your lying son to become CEO.
00:50:50What are you talking about?
00:50:54You.
00:50:56You're not the mother of his child.
00:51:01You're not the mother of his child.
00:51:04You're lying.
00:51:06They're both lying to all of you.
00:51:11Stella Evans.
00:51:14Ten o'clock interview with Ashton Montgomery for the executive assistant position.
00:51:21Looks like he offered a different job to her altogether.
00:51:25This man would go so far as to marry a complete stranger in order to become your CEO.
00:51:32I don't know how much he's paying you, but it must be a lot.
00:51:36If this is true, son, you're an embarrassment to this family and this company.
00:51:43The board can't proceed with a vote.
00:51:49It's true.
00:51:51Stella was there at the interview that day.
00:51:53Me.
00:51:54To see if I was up for the challenge to raising our daughter.
00:51:58But this isn't about my personal life.
00:52:00This is about what's best for Montgomery Enterprise's going into the future.
00:52:04And since I've become COO, I have more than doubled our profits.
00:52:08And if that's not enough for you, then I don't know what is.
00:52:14It doesn't matter what you say.
00:52:16Mom already promised me the position of CEO would be mine.
00:52:20Enough.
00:52:23We will vote now.
00:52:26Is there a vote for Clive?
00:52:32Is there a vote for Aston?
00:52:41It's a tie.
00:52:43So it all comes down to my father.
00:52:47And I have decided.
00:52:53The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises is...
00:53:02The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises is...
00:53:08Aston Montgomery.
00:53:14What about me?
00:53:16I've looked at the financials.
00:53:18You've spent more time at the country club than in the boardroom.
00:53:22It's not my fault their Cobb salads are excellent.
00:53:26And the boardroom is boring.
00:53:34Congratulations, Aston.
00:53:36The new CEO of Montgomery Enterprises.
00:53:40But make me doubt anything else, and I'll rip everything away from you two without hesitation.
00:53:46So what's your first act as CEO?
00:54:04I violate every page of the HR handbook.
00:54:06It's a good thing you never gave me that job.
00:54:14I need you.
00:54:18We can't.
00:54:19Somebody could walk in.
00:54:20So?
00:54:21So.
00:54:22Remember what your dad said?
00:54:23We can't afford another scandal.
00:54:30Aston.
00:54:32The board would like to see you.
00:54:33To go over some financials.
00:54:35Of course.
00:54:50Knock, knock.
00:54:53Clarissa, if you're here to bully me, I am not in the mood.
00:54:56That's not why I'm here.
00:54:58I'm here as a courtesy.
00:55:00You deserve the truth, and clearly Aston isn't going to give it to you.
00:55:08This baby isn't Clive's.
00:55:11It's Aston's.
00:55:20What the hell are you talking about?
00:55:21That baby cannot be Aston's.
00:55:23Well, we clearly couldn't tell you until the roost was over.
00:55:25Until he became CEO.
00:55:28But now that it's all over, and Aston got what he wanted, we don't need you anymore.
00:55:35He doesn't need you anymore.
00:55:58I don't believe you.
00:56:08Believe Aston then.
00:56:10Go ahead.
00:56:11Open that desk drawer.
00:56:24Oh my god.
00:56:25He signed the divorce papers.
00:56:27Clarissa's telling the truth.
00:56:38You can go now.
00:56:50Sweet Emma.
00:56:53I'm going to miss you so much.
00:56:56What's going on?
00:56:58I'm saying goodbye to Emma, and then I'm out of here.
00:57:01Just like you want me to be.
00:57:08Stella, why are you packing?
00:57:10Here, I signed them.
00:57:11You don't have to worry about me anymore.
00:57:13What are you talking about?
00:57:14Come on, Aston.
00:57:15You used me to get everything you wanted.
00:57:18I was a fool to think we could ever be together, that we could ever have a family together.
00:57:23Oh, and by the way, congratulations on the baby.
00:57:26I hope you and Clarissa are really happy together.
00:57:29Wait.
00:57:37Wait.
00:57:41Please, let me explain.
00:57:47What could you possibly have to say to me?
00:57:52There is nothing and will never be anything between me and Clarissa ever again.
00:57:56I'm not even the father of her child.
00:57:58And these, I had these drawn up the day I met you before.
00:58:01I knew this could be anything more than a contract.
00:58:04And this, just take it.
00:58:08Please, just take everything out.
00:58:09All I want is you and Emma.
00:58:11I could take or leave anything else.
00:58:14You don't mean that.
00:58:15Of course I mean it.
00:58:17I have meant every word I have said to you.
00:58:21I'm in, Stella.
00:58:22I'm all in.
00:58:25Are you?
00:58:30I'm in, Stella.
00:58:31I'm all in.
00:58:34Are you?
00:58:39Yeah, I'm all in.
00:58:43Are you?
00:58:46Yes.
00:58:55The paternity results are in.
00:58:59I'm not gonna miss fun.
00:59:10The paternity results are in.
00:59:14I'm not gonna miss fun.
00:59:23I can't believe I'm not her father.
00:59:28If she doesn't belong to me, then why would that woman have shown up at my office
00:59:33and made me believe she was mine?
00:59:39I can't tell you why this is happening, Aston.
00:59:43But Emma's lucky to have you as a dad.
00:59:46Biological or not.
00:59:50We need to find the truth.
00:59:57Dahlia's behind it all.
01:00:04I'm not telling you anything.
01:00:06This isn't a game, Dahlia.
01:00:07She's a child.
01:00:08Where did Emma come from?
01:00:10Step down as CEO and I'll tell you.
01:00:17Step down as CEO and I'll tell you.
01:00:20Are you kidding me?
01:00:21This is way bigger than a CEO position.
01:00:24This is a child's life you're messing with.
01:00:26Shut up, you little tramp.
01:00:29If you hadn't come along pretending to be her mother,
01:00:32the scandal would have proceeded as planned
01:00:36and that little child would be back at the orphanage right where she belonged.
01:00:41Orphanage?
01:00:43That's right.
01:00:44The baby's trash, just like you.
01:01:00There!
01:01:07Aston McGovern, you better get control of your little wife.
01:01:10Or nothing!
01:01:12You will not speak upon my wife or my family that way.
01:01:15Get out.
01:01:29Follow every orphanage in the city until you find one that's missing a baby.
01:01:42It's okay.
01:01:44It's okay, we're gonna figure this out.
01:01:49Oh my god, did she just call me mama?
01:01:51She's yours if you want her to be.
01:01:58I want to be, but until we figure out what's going on, I can't get attached.
01:02:07I understand.
01:02:11Mr. Montgomery! Mr. Montgomery!
01:02:13Mr. Montgomery!
01:02:14What can you say about the recent allegations that Miss Evans is not the mother of your son's child?
01:02:20Mr. Montgomery! You can't ignore us, Mr. Montgomery!
01:02:28What's going on?
01:02:30The press is having a field day out here.
01:02:32I told you to. No more scandals!
01:02:35What are you talking about?
01:02:38I went out on a limb for you, son. I trusted you.
01:02:41And this has been a lie the whole time?
01:02:45You say she's the mother of your child?
01:02:47Prove it!
01:02:48Or I'll expect you to step down as CEO tomorrow morning.
01:02:54How do we prove it?
01:02:57Simple.
01:02:59Take a maternity test.
01:03:06How do we prove it?
01:03:09Simple.
01:03:11Take a maternity test.
01:03:21We're not going away, Mr. Montgomery!
01:03:22We're not going away!
01:03:23Come on, Ashton!
01:03:30Ashton...
01:03:32If I take a maternity test, they're going to know that Emma's not mine, and then we may lose her.
01:03:38No.
01:03:45I should have never lied in the first place.
01:03:50Ah!
01:03:51Ah!
01:03:53Mom!
01:03:54Mom!
01:03:57Ah!
01:03:58My mom is dying!
01:04:00Mom!
01:04:06My head is so warm.
01:04:09It's okay.
01:04:18My heart was racing.
01:04:20I was so scared.
01:04:23It's okay.
01:04:27It's okay.
01:04:28It's all gonna be okay.
01:04:30Yeah.
01:04:42Hey.
01:04:44My mom's getting worse.
01:04:48She needs this experimental treatment, but we can't afford it, so...
01:04:54Why didn't you tell me?
01:04:58I didn't wanna be a burden to you.
01:05:00You can never be a burden.
01:05:03How much does the treatment cost?
01:05:10Ten million dollars.
01:05:12I'll pay it.
01:05:14Every penny.
01:05:22I'll pay it.
01:05:23Every penny.
01:05:26Aston!
01:05:27Like I said!
01:05:29Money doesn't matter.
01:05:30I would do anything for you, anything for our family.
01:05:38You have no idea what this means to me.
01:05:50How do you always know just what to say to make me feel better?
01:05:54Because I know you.
01:05:56I know what you want.
01:05:57I know what you need.
01:05:59That's what happens to someone when you...
01:06:04When you...
01:06:06When you what?
01:06:09When you love someone.
01:06:12And I love you, Stella Evans.
01:06:21And I love you, Stella Evans.
01:06:30You love me?
01:06:34I do.
01:06:37I can't believe it's taken me so long to say it.
01:06:45Please tell me you feel the same.
01:06:55I don't know what I'm feeling.
01:06:58It's all just...
01:06:59It's too much.
01:07:03I understand.
01:07:12Hi, I'd like to pay a bill for Mary Evans.
01:07:17It has?
01:07:20By who?
01:07:24I see.
01:07:45A year ago, I gave up my baby girl.
01:07:51I had no choice and it broke my heart.
01:07:53Chances are almost impossible, but I have to know.
01:07:57Could Emma be my daughter?
01:08:10Hello?
01:08:12I'd like to schedule a maternity test.
01:08:24Hey, Stella, do you...
01:08:28Everything okay?
01:08:29Fine.
01:08:35You seem...
01:08:37Off.
01:08:43I'm just stressed.
01:08:47I just can't stop thinking about Emma's mother
01:08:49and how our lives could come crashing down over some maternity test.
01:08:54Then don't take it.
01:08:56What?
01:08:58No, I can't ask you to do that. That's not fair to you.
01:09:03Don't worry about what's fair to me.
01:09:04It's all I'm worried about.
01:09:07You mean more to me than this CEO position.
01:09:10He's trying to help, but if Emma's somehow mine,
01:09:14I can save Aston's job and his reputation.
01:09:18Just don't do anything rash, okay?
01:09:22We still have until tomorrow to figure it out.
01:09:28I need to ask.
01:09:31Does the name Andrew Beaumont mean anything to you?
01:09:35No.
01:09:37Should it?
01:09:39Well, he paid for your mother's treatment.
01:09:43All 10 million.
01:09:48Mom?
01:09:59Mom?
01:10:01Who's Andrew Beaumont?
01:10:07How do you know about him?
01:10:10He paid for your treatment.
01:10:12Who is he?
01:10:17Mom?
01:10:19Mom?
01:10:20Mom!
01:10:22Someone call a doctor!
01:10:24Mom!
01:10:41I spoke with the doctors.
01:10:42She's been put in a medically induced coma until the swelling in her brain subsides.
01:10:49It's all my fault if I wouldn't have pushed her.
01:10:51No, Estella. It is not your fault.
01:10:56I know. I know. And I know she's sick. I just wish there was something I could do.
01:11:01She's with the doctors now.
01:11:03She's getting the treatment she needs.
01:11:06It'll all be fine.
01:11:07No matter how much you keep blaming yourself, I'll say it again.
01:11:12It's not your fault.
01:11:37Okay, Emma. Time to learn the truth.
01:12:00In breaking news, CEO Aston Montgomery has called a last minute press conference
01:12:04to address the future of Montgomery Enterprises.
01:12:07Reporters have it on good authority that he is prepared to step down as CEO,
01:12:12handing the company over to his half-brother, Clive Montgomery, in the wake of a paternity scandal.
01:12:34Oh, my God. I can save him.
01:12:43Ma'am. Ma'am. How do you answer the allegation?
01:12:46What do you say about the allegations and accusations against you?
01:12:49Mr. Montgomery, you do understand that not forcing your wife to take a maternity test
01:12:54is an admission of guilt, right?
01:12:56Which means you've been lying. To everyone.
01:12:59Wait! We're not lying. I took the test. I have the results right here.
01:13:10I have the results right here.
01:13:16Hey! You know how much I'm willing to pay for those?
01:13:18Not enough. Trust me.
01:13:29You took the maternity test? Why?
01:13:31Aston, there's something I need to tell you.
01:13:33Show us the results, sweetheart. Prove your husband's not lying.
01:13:42I don't owe anyone proof. Believe me or don't. But I am Emma's mother.
01:13:47I believe you.
01:13:48Don't even think about it, Dahlia.
01:13:51This is so sweet.
01:13:56If only it mattered.
01:13:59You're too late, Stella. Aston already stepped down.
01:14:12You already stepped down?
01:14:14Yes.
01:14:15You already stepped down?
01:14:17Yes.
01:14:18To protect you. To protect Emma.
01:14:20Aston, you were fine. All you've ever wanted to do is be safe.
01:14:23To be a great husband to you and a great father to Emma.
01:14:27That's all that matters to me. We can figure out the rest.
01:14:31It looks like you're working for me now, brother.
01:14:35I own the company now.
01:14:37Which means I own you.
01:14:41Not quite.
01:14:42I just received an offer from Montgomery Enterprises.
01:14:46One that I couldn't refuse.
01:14:49Meet our buyer.
01:14:52Andrew Beaumont.
01:15:00Stella's father.
01:15:07Stella, I'm sorry.
01:15:10Stella, you're just like your mother.
01:15:18This is ridiculous.
01:15:20You're trying to tell me that Stella's related to a billionaire?
01:15:25She's nothing but a piece of trash.
01:15:28Don't speak about my daughter that way.
01:15:31Your daughter? How dare you call me that?
01:15:34You left Mom and I.
01:15:37No.
01:15:38Stella, I never left you.
01:15:40Your mother.
01:15:42She kicked me out.
01:15:45Because I wasn't the husband or the father that I needed to be.
01:15:48But I'm here now.
01:15:51To make it up to you.
01:15:53This company belongs to me.
01:15:55Not this low class peasant bitch.
01:15:59No! My baby!
01:16:01Damn, that felt good.
01:16:04Get out of my office or I'll have you arrested for assault.
01:16:08Actually, the office belongs to my daughter now.
01:16:13As does the company.
01:16:17What?
01:16:22I'm the CEO of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:16:26I'm the CEO of Montgomery Enterprises?
01:16:33Oh yes.
01:16:35Which means you get to decide how we get rid of Clive.
01:16:42You're fired.
01:16:43Effective immediately.
01:16:45You can't do that.
01:16:47Montgomery Enterprises belongs to me.
01:16:51This can't be happening.
01:16:55I planned everything perfectly.
01:16:59That little orphan would have made the perfect scandal if not for Stella interfering.
01:17:05And you!
01:17:07You're fired.
01:17:09Effective immediately.
01:17:11You can't do that.
01:17:13Montgomery Enterprises belongs to her.
01:17:15She can do whatever she wants.
01:17:21You were supposed to convince that little bitch that you were pregnant with Aston's baby.
01:17:25But no!
01:17:27You failed and fucked us all.
01:17:30I didn't.
01:17:34Clive, Clarissa, get the hell out of my office.
01:17:37You too, Dahlia.
01:17:39Get out!
01:17:40You can't kick me out.
01:17:42I'm Robert's wife.
01:17:44Not anymore.
01:17:46I want a divorce.
01:17:49What?
01:17:51This is not...
01:18:04I always thought she looked just like you when she was sleeping.
01:18:11I never thought I'd see her again.
01:18:15I never wanted to give her up, but...
01:18:19when Mom got sick and...
01:18:22the medical bills, I just...
01:18:25I knew we couldn't afford it.
01:18:28That's all in the past.
01:18:32But I want to talk about our future.
01:18:38How would you feel about one more?
01:18:45This house is pretty big.
01:18:48Why stop at one?
01:18:51I like the way you think.
01:19:15So...
01:19:17what's your first order of business as CEO?
01:19:21Well, since I've already violated the employee handbook...
01:19:25Twice.
01:19:30I was thinking we could talk business.
01:19:34No one knows more about Montgomery Enterprises than you.
01:19:38I was hoping you might show me the ropes.
01:19:42I'd be happy to.
01:19:48Let's violate the handbook one more time.
01:20:09I'm sorry.
01:20:11I'm sorry.
01:20:13I'm sorry.
01:20:15I'm sorry.
01:20:17I'm sorry.
01:20:19I'm sorry.
01:20:21I'm sorry.
01:20:23I'm sorry.
01:20:25I'm sorry.
01:20:27I'm sorry.
01:20:29I'm sorry.
01:20:31I'm sorry.
01:20:33I'm sorry.
01:20:35I'm sorry.
01:20:37I'm sorry.
01:20:49I'm pregnant.
01:21:01Hey.
01:21:03Your mother and I were just catching up.
01:21:07I still can't believe this.
01:21:11Forgive me for not telling you about your father sooner.
01:21:15When I got sick, I decided to write him.
01:21:18Forgiving him.
01:21:22I never thought you would.
01:21:26And...
01:21:29I hope you can forgive me too.
01:21:38You've been missing from my life for years.
01:21:41It's going to take more than money to earn my forgiveness.
01:21:46I understand.
01:21:48And I'd really like to get to know you better.
01:21:52And my grandbaby.
01:21:58Which one?
01:22:03You.
01:22:06Stella.
01:22:12Aston, your assistant called and said it was an emergency.
01:22:17Stella Evans?
01:22:19Yes.
01:22:25Come with me.
01:22:35The last time I heard those words, I got roped into a fake marriage.
01:22:40Well, this time, I'm hoping you'll say yes to a real one.
01:22:57Aston, is that your mother's ring?
01:22:59It is.
01:23:01And you're the only person who has ever been worthy of it.
01:23:07Stella Evans, ever since you stepped into my office, you have changed the course of my life.
01:23:12You have given me a beautiful child.
01:23:15Children?
01:23:18I'm pregnant.
01:23:24I want forever with you.
01:23:26No deals, no schemes.
01:23:29Just us.
01:23:32Will you marry me?
01:23:41I can't.
01:23:49It's just, we've done this whole thing backwards.
01:23:52I want us to take our time.
01:23:55Okay.
01:23:57I can be patient.
01:24:00But when you're ready for forever, let me know.
01:24:04Because I'm all in, Stella Evans.
01:24:27I love you.
