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