00:00:00See if Leo Christopher still wants to marry me now.
00:00:03What is that on your face?
00:00:06No one has time for your little games, Vivian.
00:00:08No husband, no inheritance.
00:00:10Bunch of freeloading parasites.
00:00:13Daddy, she's lost it.
00:00:15Excuse me.
00:00:16What are you doing in my room?
00:00:19We never had a chance to get properly introduced.
00:00:21Aaron Christopher.
00:00:23Contract marriage.
00:00:24One year.
00:00:25Help me get back my mother's inheritance.
00:00:27Your husband?
00:00:30For my mother's will, I'm officially stepping in as CEO of Lawrence Corp.
00:00:33Is this what we want as the face of our company?
00:00:38You'll make a great husband someday.
00:00:40I already am a great husband.
00:00:43Aaron mentioned that Stephen was responsible for his accident.
00:00:47Stephen hurt his own brother?
00:00:49That's absurd.
00:00:50Once we can get that footage to the team at Lawrence Corp, we can end this.
00:00:54It's such a shame a woman like you.
00:00:56He's on a man like Aaron.
00:00:57Keep your hands to yourself.
00:01:00I heard his heart belongs to someone else.
00:01:07You can't do this to me.
00:01:09Watch me.
00:01:17Let's see if Leo Christopher still wants to marry me now.
00:01:20You're Vivian Lawrence?
00:01:31Oh God.
00:01:32What is that on your face?
00:01:34You know, you look nothing like your profile pic.
00:01:37More like a warthog.
00:01:39With a trust fund.
00:01:40You think I want this marriage, please.
00:01:42But I did enjoy your dad and stepmom begging me on their knees to show up today.
00:01:47Pathetic.
00:01:48Tell her to forget about drugging me and shipping me off to marry that creep Leo.
00:02:17Excuse me.
00:02:19What are you doing to my room?
00:02:23Whoa.
00:02:24Abs.
00:02:25Test on an answer.
00:02:28Sorry.
00:02:28I, um...
00:02:29Are you okay?
00:02:31Someone's trying to get me.
00:02:32Um...
00:02:33Get out.
00:02:37I said get out!
00:02:38Okay?
00:02:48Mm-hmm.
00:02:56Wait.
00:02:58Do you know who I am?
00:03:00A really, really hot guy.
00:03:33Where the hell are you?
00:03:40Vivian, where the hell are you?
00:03:42You know how many strings I had to pull to get you a date with a member of the Christopher family?
00:03:47You're meeting him in an hour.
00:03:48Do not be late.
00:03:50Dad, we need to talk about this.
00:03:54Oh my God.
00:03:56Did I just have a one-night stand with a complete stranger?
00:03:59Shit, he's coming out.
00:04:01I need to get out of here.
00:04:03Let's pretend this never happened.
00:04:16No hard feelings.
00:04:17Last night was magnificent.
00:04:25Yeah.
00:04:26Yeah, I remember the arranged date.
00:04:30I'll be there to check it out.
00:04:47Thanks for stopping by.
00:04:48But your services won't be needed.
00:04:50I've already found my husband.
00:04:58I've already found my husband.
00:05:05Is that so?
00:05:07Leo, try not to embarrass the family.
00:05:09Besides, is that how Christopher treats his future aunt?
00:05:12My apologies, dear uncle.
00:05:16After all, with your impairment...
00:05:22You're being visually challenging.
00:05:24Maybe you are a match made in heaven.
00:05:26Didn't I hear that you were in Vegas last week?
00:05:30Tell me.
00:05:31How much of your trust fund did you gamble away this time?
00:05:35You know, I've been meaning to call your mother and...
00:05:38Check in.
00:05:40Say hi.
00:05:40My apologies for the misunderstanding.
00:05:48It's nice meeting you.
00:05:55There's no way.
00:05:57I remember...
00:05:59last night.
00:06:03This can't be the same person.
00:06:07Looks just like her.
00:06:08But that's scar.
00:06:17We never had a chance to get properly introduced.
00:06:20Aaron Christopher.
00:06:21Vivian, your future wife.
00:06:25I'm sorry, is that a real proposition?
00:06:28More like destiny.
00:06:30Don't you think?
00:06:33Terms?
00:06:34Contract marriage.
00:06:35One year.
00:06:37You helped me get back my mother's inheritance.
00:06:43Done.
00:06:44But I also have a condition we'll need to discuss.
00:06:53Morning, Dad.
00:06:55You look happy to see me.
00:06:56No one has time for your little games, Vivian.
00:07:00Vivian.
00:07:00Leo just called.
00:07:02Needless to say, he was not impressed.
00:07:06To be honest, he said you were...
00:07:07ugly and uncultured.
00:07:11Can't blame him.
00:07:12Fire a guy with his pedigree.
00:07:14I wouldn't be caught dead with you.
00:07:16I was really hoping this one would work out.
00:07:19Well, I guess, no husband.
00:07:23No inheritance.
00:07:25And now that you're done embarrassing the family name,
00:07:29be useful for once, Vivian.
00:07:31Please leave this house.
00:07:33This is my mother's house.
00:07:35If anyone's going to get the hell out, it's you.
00:07:38Bunch of freeloading parasites.
00:07:42Daddy, she's lost it.
00:07:44Vivian, are you insane?
00:07:46Get the hell out.
00:07:49One more thing.
00:07:52Mom left me 50% of Lawrence Corp.
00:07:54So guess what, Daddy?
00:07:57That makes me the boss here.
00:08:06So guess what, Daddy?
00:08:08That makes me the boss here.
00:08:11No, that is impossible.
00:08:14Leo said that...
00:08:15Who said Leo was my only option?
00:08:17Aaron Christopher?
00:08:21Who the hell is that?
00:08:24Leo's uncle.
00:08:26Paralyzed in an accident years ago,
00:08:28became a total recluse
00:08:29and hasn't amounted to much ever since.
00:08:32Well, congratulations, Vivian.
00:08:34Looks like you found yourself a real winner.
00:08:36Boss, we finally have a lead on the accident from five years ago.
00:08:52Our team managed to find the original surveillance footage.
00:08:54That took long enough.
00:08:56Seems like someone is really trying to bury this.
00:08:59Once I have the evidence that I need,
00:09:01Steven is finished.
00:09:03It's still amazing that you spent all these years faking an injury.
00:09:06Had your whole family thinking you'd given up.
00:09:08Meanwhile, you're building an entire empire from the shadows of Zex.
00:09:11That's not just revenge, boss.
00:09:13That's art.
00:09:15That's justice.
00:09:16But there's only one problem.
00:09:18Steven's team wiped everything.
00:09:19It's not a trace.
00:09:22There's always a trace.
00:09:24You ever had a Lawrence Corp?
00:09:26Yeah.
00:09:27Big tech giant owns Skynet.
00:09:29They have something to do with data restoration.
00:09:31Exactly.
00:09:33Guess who just took over as their new CEO?
00:09:35For my mother's will, I'm officially stepping in as CEO of Lawrence Corp.
00:09:48This is absolute nonsense.
00:09:50Vivian isn't qualified for this.
00:09:51And frankly, is this what we want as the face of our company?
00:09:55We're asking for a PR nightmare.
00:09:57And let's not forget, her new husband, Aaron Christopher,
00:10:00not exactly bringing much to the table.
00:10:02Do you want this company to become a total laughingstock?
00:10:06Vivian, the board has concerns about your leadership.
00:10:09There's no proof you're ready for this.
00:10:13Unless you can prove your worth.
00:10:16Land a contract with Everest Capital in the next three days and we'll reconsider.
00:10:23This is ridiculous.
00:10:24We're just wasting time.
00:10:29Consider it done.
00:10:32Vivian, sweetie, Everest Capital is run by the most powerful man in the world, X.
00:10:46The guy's practically a ghost.
00:10:48What makes you think you have a shot at getting in a room with him?
00:10:51I guess we'll find out.
00:10:53Vivian, please.
00:10:54Yeah, Vivian.
00:10:55What's her big plan?
00:10:55Lurema into bed and pegging for a contract?
00:10:57Oh, please.
00:10:59Like she'd even hesitate.
00:11:00She's probably dreaming about it already.
00:11:02Poor girl needs the attention.
00:11:09Hey, babe.
00:11:10Thought you might need a lift.
00:11:11Hey.
00:11:17Hey, babe.
00:11:18Thought you might need a lift.
00:11:19Didn't you know?
00:11:26She's already married.
00:11:28Her poor husband clearly isn't enough.
00:11:30Now she's playing you.
00:11:32Hmm.
00:11:33Well, in that case, I guess I don't mind being played.
00:11:38You entitled bitch.
00:11:39Who do you think you are?
00:11:41I'm the bitch?
00:11:42Look at the way you just threw yourself at my husband.
00:11:44How embarrassing.
00:11:45Your husband?
00:11:48Right.
00:11:49I forgot to introduce myself.
00:11:51Aaron Christopher.
00:12:04Wow.
00:12:06This is nicer than I expected from the least favored son in the Christopher family.
00:12:11Well, it suits me well enough.
00:12:13It's easy to get around.
00:12:15There's an elevator to the second floor.
00:12:18And lucky for you, this will be your home too for the next year.
00:12:22Contractually speaking.
00:12:23Medium rare, just the way you like it.
00:12:52Please tell me you didn't hire a private chef, just to impress me.
00:12:57Oh, trust me.
00:12:57Cooking is just the beginning.
00:13:00Life with me?
00:13:01That's pretty good.
00:13:06To you.
00:13:08My wife.
00:13:11To business partnerships.
00:13:12So, what was that one condition you mentioned?
00:13:23Don't worry.
00:13:25When the time is right, you'll know.
00:13:27Erin?
00:13:32Can I come in?
00:13:50I thought you'd be in bed.
00:14:05You must be tired after such a crazy day.
00:14:11I was thinking bathing must be tricky for you.
00:14:15Well, as your wife, I thought maybe I could help.
00:14:21Uh, I appreciate that, but thanks.
00:14:24I got it.
00:14:25Maybe I could help you get on dress?
00:14:47Um, I know that we're married now, but this is a little fast, isn't it?
00:15:02Why don't you let me?
00:15:05Vivian, you're Scar.
00:15:30Vivian, you're Scar.
00:15:40I'm sorry.
00:15:44So, this is the real you?
00:15:48That night, it was you.
00:15:53I wasn't trying to fool you.
00:15:55You know, the scars have been sort of a protection for me ever since my mom died.
00:16:04Since my stepmother and her daughter came into the picture, it was easier to just disappear.
00:16:12I was no longer a threat to them.
00:16:17I'm sorry.
00:16:19You don't have to explain.
00:16:21I get it.
00:16:22I get it.
00:16:25Where are you going?
00:16:29Uh, like you said, it's been a long day.
00:16:33I should probably get to bed.
00:16:36I was thinking, uh...
00:16:38You were right.
00:16:39It is just our first night.
00:16:41I'm sorry.
00:16:41I'm sorry.
00:16:42I'm sorry.
00:16:43I'm sorry.
00:16:44I'm sorry.
00:16:45I'm sorry.
00:16:46I'm sorry.
00:16:47I'm sorry.
00:16:48I'm sorry.
00:16:49I'm sorry.
00:16:50I'm sorry.
00:16:51I'm sorry.
00:16:52I'm sorry.
00:16:53I'm sorry.
00:16:54I'm sorry.
00:16:55I'm sorry.
00:16:56You're not?
00:16:57Aaron.
00:17:01Who the hell gave you permission to get married?
00:17:10Who the hell gave you permission to get married?
00:17:15It's my marriage.
00:17:15It's my life.
00:17:16I don't need your approval.
00:17:17Ever since that accident, you've changed.
00:17:21You're...
00:17:23Go on.
00:17:25Say it.
00:17:26You know what, Dad?
00:17:27Even if I never walk again,
00:17:29even if I never meet your expectations,
00:17:32at least I know what it was.
00:17:33You still resent me, don't you?
00:17:35The board chose Stephen as my successor.
00:17:37That was never my decision.
00:17:39All I ever wanted was that you two look out for one another.
00:17:42Wake up, Dad.
00:17:44My half-brother wants me dead.
00:17:45You always misjudge him.
00:17:47He is a good man, and a good brother to you.
00:17:48He has turned the whole family against me.
00:17:50That's enough about your brother.
00:17:53Fine, this marriage is a done deal.
00:17:56At least promise me you'll treat your wife well.
00:17:59Spoil her. Take her out on a proper date.
00:18:04I always wished I was a better husband to your mother.
00:18:07Don't mess this up.
00:18:08You wanted to see me, boss?
00:18:18William, I need your advice.
00:18:21You go on a lot of dates, right?
00:18:23You want my advice?
00:18:25Of course, happy to help.
00:18:27Great.
00:18:28Um, how do you plan a really memorable date?
00:18:31Who's the lucky lady?
00:18:33My wife.
00:18:34Who else would it be?
00:18:35We could do worse.
00:18:37Like, kidding.
00:18:38I got you, boss.
00:18:39Don't worry.
00:18:41Okay.
00:18:42Where do we start?
00:18:46Okay, Mr. Mysterious.
00:18:48What's the big surprise?
00:18:51Okay, Mr. Mysterious.
00:18:53What's the big surprise?
00:18:56I swear, if this is some sort of prank...
00:18:59Be patient.
00:19:01Okay, you can take off your blindfold now.
00:19:12Do you really think a perfect romantic evening will win me over?
00:19:20Because it might.
00:19:23I just want to prove to you that I am the most romantic contract husband you will ever have.
00:19:30You know this isn't necessary, right?
00:19:32I was just kidding about the private chef.
00:19:35As long as we're married, I'm going to treat you right.
00:19:42Well, in that case, dear husband, I do have one complaint.
00:19:50This steak, not as good as yours.
00:19:54Your complaint is noted.
00:19:56I'll cook for you tomorrow, but in the meantime, happy one week anniversary.
00:20:12You know, you'll make a great husband someday.
00:20:36I already am a great husband.
00:20:37Well, you're certainly full of surprises.
00:20:42What are you doing?
00:20:45These shoes are torture.
00:20:47Shouldn't wear those.
00:20:49Here.
00:20:50A gift.
00:20:53I want you to feel like you can always be comfortable around me.
00:20:59You know my size?
00:21:02I know everything about you.
00:21:04I know everything about you.
00:21:07I know everything about you.
00:21:12For everything.
00:21:14That's all for you.
00:21:37It might be my time.
00:21:48I just thought I'd give you a break.
00:21:50I don't have to worry about me.
00:21:51Erin, did your light just move?
00:22:17Aaron, did your leg just move?
00:22:26I swear his leg just moved.
00:22:29Is that even possible?
00:22:34Aaron.
00:22:37Morning.
00:22:39Good morning.
00:22:41I had no idea my wife was so affectionate.
00:22:44I was just stretching.
00:22:47Stretching, huh?
00:22:50You need a little sexy morning workout?
00:22:55Happy to help?
00:22:56I think we did enough of that last night, don't you think?
00:23:00Did we?
00:23:11Come to the office.
00:23:13I've got a secret that'll blow your mind.
00:23:17What's all this about?
00:23:29Vivian, sweetie, has your perfect husband told you about his first love?
00:23:34He may be married to you, but I heard his heart belongs to someone else.
00:23:44It doesn't matter.
00:23:45He's my husband, whether he loves me or not.
00:23:49You really are delusional.
00:23:53Ashley, why don't you focus on yourself?
00:23:55Start working on your resume, because the first thing I'm doing when I'm CEO is firing dead weight, like you.
00:24:05You're not going to get away with this.
00:24:06That'll be all.
00:24:08You're dismissed.
00:24:12So Aaron does have a first love.
00:24:16Whatever.
00:24:17Back to business.
00:24:21I can't make dinner tonight.
00:24:23Meeting Everest's rep at the office.
00:24:25Wish me luck.
00:24:26Mom, we can't let Vivian secure this Everest deal.
00:24:36If she does, we're finished.
00:24:38Relax, darling.
00:24:40Everest rep Ralph, he has a particular kink.
00:24:45And Vivian is exactly his time.
00:24:49Oh, this is getting good.
00:24:51No new leads on Steven.
00:24:59Our team tried tracking down additional surveillance from the night of the accident.
00:25:02No luck.
00:25:04I've waited five years at this point.
00:25:06That's a little bit longer.
00:25:09Once Vivian's able to secure Lawrence Corp, we'll have everything we need to recover the footage.
00:25:13There's something else.
00:25:15The woman who saved your life that night, we might finally have a lead on her.
00:25:20Find her.
00:25:21Whatever it takes.
00:25:24Who's handling the Everest meeting tonight with Vivian?
00:25:30Ralph.
00:25:33Get the car.
00:25:35We need to go now.
00:25:44To a successful partnership.
00:25:45Before we finalize anything, I want to see how enthusiastic you are about this deal.
00:25:55Of course.
00:25:57Our latest proposal.
00:25:59Not what I meant.
00:25:59I prefer a more personal approach.
00:26:04Your scar is such a turn-on for me, Miss Lawrence.
00:26:07Please, don't touch me.
00:26:09Relax.
00:26:09Let's toast to a real partnership.
00:26:12Get off me.
00:26:14Get off me.
00:26:14Get back here.
00:26:20Eric?
00:26:21Mr. X.
00:26:24Mr. X.
00:26:26Ralph.
00:26:28You really crossed the line this time.
00:26:34You really crossed the line this time.
00:26:37Mr. X.
00:26:39I swear, it was her.
00:26:41She was trying to steal our company's secrets.
00:26:43She attacked me.
00:26:44That is my wife.
00:26:45If she wanted this company, she would already have it.
00:26:49Mr. X, I didn't know.
00:26:50I was just following orders.
00:26:53Whose orders?
00:26:56Ashley Lawrence.
00:27:00Call the lawyers.
00:27:02Take his confession every single word.
00:27:06And William, make sure I never see his face at Everest again.
00:27:20Last night, how did I get home?
00:27:35CEO from Everest Capital brought you.
00:27:38How you feeling?
00:27:40Like I got hit by a truck?
00:27:42Yes.
00:27:44Wait, so his ex?
00:27:46Do you know him?
00:27:47No.
00:27:48Why would I know him?
00:27:49I don't know.
00:27:50I remember.
00:27:52He was tall.
00:27:53Broad shoulders.
00:27:57Actually looks a lot like you.
00:28:00Okay.
00:28:01Your legs, are they better?
00:28:03I swear the other day I felt them move.
00:28:07You know, I love your optimism,
00:28:09but I'm afraid you're going to be stuck with me just the way I am.
00:28:12You know I didn't mean it like that.
00:28:14I know.
00:28:14I'm just teasing you.
00:28:16So I guess I didn't sign the deal with Everest Capital.
00:28:19If I can't secure this partnership,
00:28:21I'll lose my claim to Lawrence Corp.
00:28:31Wait.
00:28:31Wait.
00:28:32What?
00:28:38What?
00:28:43That was Everest Capital.
00:28:45Ex agreed to sign the deal.
00:28:47This deal.
00:28:51You brought it back with you last night.
00:28:54But why?
00:28:56Why would Ex agree to work with me?
00:28:57I didn't even get a chance to tell him about the proposal.
00:29:00Don't question it.
00:29:02Obviously, he wants this partnership.
00:29:05I just kind of wish I could have helped you out the way that Ex did.
00:29:08Well, it doesn't matter.
00:29:10Once I get back Lawrence Corp,
00:29:12everything will be different.
00:29:14And no matter what happens,
00:29:16I'm always going to be by your side.
00:29:21It's time.
00:29:22She's late.
00:29:40There's no way she closed the deal.
00:29:41Told you.
00:29:43Everest Capital doesn't work with nobody's.
00:29:44Given the circumstances,
00:29:50I'll be resuming my position as CEO.
00:29:54Who said I failed?
00:29:59Given the circumstances,
00:30:00I'll be resuming my position as CEO.
00:30:03Who said I failed?
00:30:06Per our agreement,
00:30:07I signed the deal with Everest Capital.
00:30:10Which means I run Lawrence Corp now.
00:30:12Where's your scar?
00:30:15Yeah, that was fake.
00:30:18No, this is impossible.
00:30:20You weren't even supposed to come back.
00:30:21You mean after your little setup?
00:30:23Sending Ralph after me?
00:30:25Cute.
00:30:26Really.
00:30:27Enough.
00:30:27Stop this nonsense.
00:30:28We have here an official statement
00:30:30from the CEO of Everest
00:30:31confirming that Ashley Lawrence instructed Ralph
00:30:34to harass her business partner, Vivian Lawrence.
00:30:36Everest Capital has entered in
00:30:37a permanent partnership with Lawrence Corp
00:30:40under Vivian's leadership.
00:30:41So, Mr. David Lawrence,
00:30:43Ashley Lawrence,
00:30:44you're both blacklisted.
00:30:45You're both officially removed
00:30:46from Lawrence Corp.
00:30:48Effective immediately.
00:30:49No, you're not going to get away with this.
00:30:51I'm your father.
00:30:52No, no, no.
00:30:52You can't do this to me.
00:30:55Watch me.
00:31:02What's all this for?
00:31:04Our wedding was rushed.
00:31:06So I figured it's time
00:31:07that my bride gets what she deserves.
00:31:08An exquisite choice.
00:31:13We had this be specifically restored
00:31:15to Mr. X's request.
00:31:18X?
00:31:20I mean, Mr. Christopher, of course.
00:31:24Silly me.
00:31:25Sick of the tongue.
00:31:26Here, try it on.
00:31:27It's beautiful.
00:31:35It suits you.
00:31:37This ruby's gorgeous.
00:31:39It must have cost...
00:31:40Don't worry about it.
00:31:42You deserve the best.
00:31:46Aaron, I...
00:31:47I heard about your first...
00:31:49Sorry.
00:31:51Yeah.
00:31:51All right.
00:31:54You found her.
00:31:56I'll be right there.
00:31:57I have to take care of something.
00:31:59You keep going.
00:32:00I'll be back.
00:32:14This isn't just a necklace, Mrs. Christopher.
00:32:16This is a symbol of eternal love.
00:32:20It must mean a lot to him.
00:32:21Absolutely.
00:32:23Mr. Christopher had this restored five years ago.
00:32:25Said it was meant for his future wife.
00:32:28Five years ago?
00:32:30This wasn't meant for me.
00:32:33It was for her.
00:32:35His first love.
00:32:40We found her.
00:32:41The woman who saved your life that night.
00:32:43Hey!
00:32:55Hey, stay with you.
00:32:57Vivian?
00:32:58It was you?
00:33:09I can't keep this.
00:33:13Why not?
00:33:15It was meant for your first love, wasn't it?
00:33:18It doesn't matter.
00:33:20This belongs to you now.
00:33:26Our marriage has always just been a contract.
00:33:29Now that I have Lauren's court back,
00:33:31I'll fulfill my end of the deal.
00:33:34We'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:33:37That really sounds like you're trying to get rid of me.
00:33:39I know you've always had a first love.
00:33:43Maybe one day you'll go find her.
00:33:45I don't want to be standing in the way.
00:33:49Well, since we are still married for the time being,
00:33:52maybe there's something you can help me out with.
00:33:58Well, what did you have in mind?
00:33:59Do you like what you're seeing?
00:34:25Do you like what you're seeing?
00:34:26I guess the accident didn't stop you from staying in shape.
00:34:32You're not so bad yourself.
00:34:33Maybe this isn't the best time.
00:34:44Maybe this isn't the best time.
00:35:00You should go before I forget how to behave myself.
00:35:12I forgot my...
00:35:14Trackit.
00:35:23Wait.
00:35:25Did he just stand?
00:35:26No.
00:35:28Impossible.
00:35:30Unless...
00:35:31He's hiding something.
00:35:33Maybe it's time I dropped by his office unannounced.
00:35:44Mr. X.
00:35:46At Christopher Group.
00:35:48It's just Aaron.
00:35:49Some new developments from the PI firm
00:35:50about Stephen's involvement in the accident.
00:35:52But without the recovered footage,
00:35:54I'm afraid we still don't have a case.
00:35:56Yeah, I'm working on that.
00:35:58Once we can get that footage to the team at Lawrence Corp,
00:36:00we can end this.
00:36:05If Aaron's hiding something,
00:36:06he might slip up at work.
00:36:09Lucky for me,
00:36:10I have the perfect excuse.
00:36:12Hi.
00:36:13Vivian and Christopher,
00:36:14Aaron's wife.
00:36:15I'm just here to drop off some lunch.
00:36:17I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:36:18Mr. Christopher isn't accepting any unscheduled visits.
00:36:21I'm not here for a business meeting.
00:36:22Just lunch.
00:36:23I'm afraid we have really strict policies.
00:36:26You'll need to make an appointment.
00:36:34Off!
00:36:35Back here!
00:36:37You!
00:36:38You!
00:36:41So, you're my new sister-in-law.
00:36:50You're Stephen Christopher.
00:36:52The tie, the height,
00:36:54even his face looks like the man at Everest that night.
00:36:57Could Stephen be X?
00:36:59Such a shame, isn't it?
00:37:00A woman like you.
00:37:02He's on a man like Aaron.
00:37:03Keep your hands to yourself.
00:37:05Wow, fiery.
00:37:08Stephen,
00:37:09did I meet you at Everest Capital the other night?
00:37:12I don't know.
00:37:13You tell me.
00:37:15Are you X?
00:37:18Look,
00:37:19if you're the one that saved me,
00:37:21fine.
00:37:22I owe you.
00:37:23But don't think for a second
00:37:25that gives you the right to disrespect Aaron.
00:37:27Owe me?
00:37:28See, that's an interesting thought.
00:37:31Maybe we can
00:37:32discuss some form of repayment.
00:37:35Touch my wife again,
00:37:37you'll lose that fucking hand.
00:37:46Touch my wife again,
00:37:48you'll lose that fucking hand.
00:37:51Relax.
00:37:52Don't get yourself worked up.
00:37:54Just being friendly is all.
00:37:55Or you're just worried
00:37:56about the Christopher Group Gala tonight.
00:37:59Hmm?
00:37:59Yeah, maybe you're afraid
00:38:01to remind everyone
00:38:02you haven't done anything worthwhile
00:38:04since the accident.
00:38:09We'll be there.
00:38:11I look forward to seeing you again, Vivian.
00:38:13Steven, your brother?
00:38:28He kind of reminds me of X.
00:38:32X.
00:38:34Steven can barely put together a sentence,
00:38:36let alone run an empire.
00:38:37He is my father's illegitimate son.
00:38:41He has
00:38:42always
00:38:43resented me.
00:38:47And he's also the reason
00:38:48that I'm in this wheelchair.
00:38:50What?
00:38:54I've been trying for five years
00:38:56to track down
00:38:57the evidence.
00:38:59And soon, hopefully,
00:39:00I'll have everything that I need
00:39:01to show that it was him.
00:39:04I'm so sorry.
00:39:06You must hate him.
00:39:08I did.
00:39:11Yeah.
00:39:13Until you came along
00:39:15and you showed me
00:39:17that there's more to life
00:39:18than just revenge.
00:39:21Well, I'll be by your side.
00:39:24No matter what.
00:39:29If only the past didn't exist.
00:39:32No first love.
00:39:34No what-ifs.
00:39:36Just us.
00:39:37Just him and me
00:39:40as husband and wife.
00:39:42Take my hand
00:39:44until my promise ends.
00:39:55So you're Vivian.
00:39:57As striking as I expected.
00:39:59You know Aaron's kept his distance
00:40:01since the accident.
00:40:02If I hadn't insisted on meeting you,
00:40:04he never would have shown.
00:40:05Father,
00:40:06you know my health
00:40:09makes outings inconvenient.
00:40:10Aaron,
00:40:10tonight is a celebration.
00:40:12Stop dragging old wounds into it.
00:40:14It's an honor
00:40:15to finally meet you, sir.
00:40:18Come.
00:40:19Let's talk.
00:40:20Just the two of us.
00:40:21That necklace.
00:40:32Aaron must truly care about you
00:40:34to give you that.
00:40:35That belonged to his mother,
00:40:37one of the few things
00:40:37she left behind.
00:40:39Aaron's mother,
00:40:39I heard she passed away early.
00:40:42Both his and Stephen's mothers are gone.
00:40:44I only hope my sons
00:40:45can take care of each other.
00:40:46Aaron mentioned that Stephen
00:40:49was responsible for his accident.
00:40:52Stephen hurt his own brother?
00:40:54That's absurd.
00:40:57Father,
00:40:58Nevian's chairman is expecting you.
00:41:01Vivian,
00:41:01we'll continue this another time.
00:41:11Vivian, wait.
00:41:12I just want to apologize.
00:41:14I don't want to hear it.
00:41:16I don't want to hear it.
00:41:34Brother,
00:41:35your wife was so insatiable last night.
00:41:39I could barely keep up.
00:41:40Hello?
00:41:47Stephen,
00:41:48what have you done?
00:41:49Oh,
00:41:50hello to you too.
00:41:52Well,
00:41:52Vivian and I had quite
00:41:53the intimate evening last night.
00:41:55Yeah.
00:41:56Yeah,
00:41:56you could say
00:41:57that she couldn't keep
00:41:57her hands to herself.
00:41:59I swear to God,
00:41:59Stephen,
00:41:59you don't want to wake her up
00:42:01now,
00:42:02do you?
00:42:02Come on,
00:42:03she's in my bed
00:42:03with nothing on
00:42:04and buck my sheets.
00:42:06Stephen?
00:42:19Stephen?
00:42:20What the hell?
00:42:22We,
00:42:23we did.
00:42:25Good morning, sweetheart.
00:42:27You could keep your hands
00:42:28off me last night.
00:42:30Liar.
00:42:30I'd never.
00:42:31Really?
00:42:33Well,
00:42:34how would you explain
00:42:35this?
00:42:41How would you explain this?
00:42:44Hmm?
00:42:45This one.
00:42:47This one's my favorite.
00:42:48You asshole!
00:42:49Don't touch me!
00:42:50Wow,
00:42:53you are feisty.
00:42:55Jesus.
00:42:56But you are a lot prettier
00:42:57when you are quiet.
00:43:05Oh,
00:43:05what the fuck?
00:43:06Who the hell are you?
00:43:07Get away from me!
00:43:08I warned you.
00:43:09You lay a finger on her
00:43:11and you are dead.
00:43:12Jesus.
00:43:13I have to get her
00:43:13so violent, brother.
00:43:15Besides,
00:43:17I have these.
00:43:20Son of a bitch!
00:43:21Hey!
00:43:22If you roll any closer,
00:43:24these little jams go viral.
00:43:25Get the damn phone!
00:43:28You don't think
00:43:29I have backups?
00:43:33What do you want?
00:43:35Simple.
00:43:37Step down.
00:43:38You resign
00:43:39as Everest Capital CEO.
00:43:42And I'll just take over
00:43:43as ex from here on out.
00:43:46Or we could just show the world
00:43:48what your wife was up to
00:43:49last night.
00:43:50Do you look at that?
00:44:09And now,
00:44:10Everest Capital is mine.
00:44:12See,
00:44:13it's signing over
00:44:13a billion dollar company
00:44:15to your brother.
00:44:16For a woman?
00:44:16Now that's either
00:44:18real devotion
00:44:19or just plain stupid.
00:44:23Delete the photos
00:44:24and you'll have
00:44:25my resignation
00:44:26in two months.
00:44:27Two months?
00:44:28Two months.
00:44:29Or I'll make sure
00:44:30we both burn.
00:44:32All right.
00:44:33Two months.
00:44:34Guess I don't have to worry
00:44:35about you going anywhere
00:44:35in that state.
00:44:36Aaron,
00:44:47after everything
00:44:48that happened
00:44:49with Steven,
00:44:50how are we supposed
00:44:51to go back to normal?
00:44:54It's too much.
00:44:57Maybe we should
00:44:58end this.
00:45:00Evian,
00:45:02none of this
00:45:02was your fault.
00:45:03You've been through
00:45:04so much already.
00:45:06You deserve real happiness.
00:45:10Maybe even
00:45:11with that woman
00:45:12you've always loved.
00:45:15Don't worry,
00:45:16I'll still hold up
00:45:17my end of the deal.
00:45:18Do you remember
00:45:22the stormy night
00:45:22five years ago
00:45:23on Houston Road?
00:45:26The car accident?
00:45:27The car accident?
00:45:35Say what the...
00:45:36It was you.
00:45:43You have never
00:45:46been second.
00:45:50Never a replacement.
00:45:54My first love,
00:45:55Vivian,
00:45:56it's always been you.
00:46:05Always.
00:46:13I like it
00:46:15when you take
00:46:15charge,
00:46:16Mrs. Christopher.
00:46:28Stick to the plan.
00:46:30When I resign,
00:46:31nothing changes.
00:46:33I still run this show.
00:46:39And now for
00:46:40some breaking news.
00:46:41X,
00:46:41the mysterious CEO,
00:46:43of Everest Capital
00:46:44has officially resigned.
00:46:46The reason remains unclear.
00:46:48This is a disaster.
00:46:49We're about to close
00:46:50on the client deal.
00:46:51Who's going to be
00:46:51running the show now?
00:46:53Gentlemen,
00:46:54let's not panic.
00:46:57Everest Capital
00:46:58is in great hands.
00:47:00Mine.
00:47:01I,
00:47:02Stephen Christopher,
00:47:03am your new CEO.
00:47:04And let me tell you,
00:47:05this company's future
00:47:06just got a whole lot brighter.
00:47:09I wouldn't get ahead
00:47:10of yourself, Stephen.
00:47:10I wouldn't get ahead
00:47:15of yourself, Stephen.
00:47:17I hate to interrupt
00:47:18your little coronation,
00:47:19but there's been
00:47:20a change in management.
00:47:22What the hell
00:47:22are you doing here?
00:47:23This is an executive...
00:47:24Before stepping down,
00:47:26Mr. X transferred
00:47:26his 70% company shares
00:47:28to me.
00:47:29And with my existing
00:47:3030%,
00:47:30well,
00:47:32you do the math.
00:47:34That's right.
00:47:35I own this company now.
00:47:37No, no, no.
00:47:37This is a joke, right?
00:47:38And as my first
00:47:40order of business,
00:47:41please,
00:47:42escort CEO Stephen out.
00:47:44No, no, no.
00:47:45You can't.
00:47:45I'm the CEO.
00:47:47You're not getting
00:47:48away with this!
00:47:51Let's get down
00:47:51to business.
00:47:54Great work.
00:47:55Now we just need to make
00:47:56sure we keep him out
00:47:57for good.
00:47:57You've been home
00:48:03a lot lately.
00:48:04Is everything okay
00:48:05at the office?
00:48:11You've been home
00:48:11a lot lately.
00:48:12Is everything okay
00:48:14at the office?
00:48:14Why?
00:48:15Are you tired
00:48:16of having me around
00:48:17already?
00:48:17Of course not.
00:48:18Just wondering
00:48:19what's going on.
00:48:20Did someone piss you
00:48:21off at work,
00:48:22or is Stephen
00:48:23playing dirty again?
00:48:24What if I just want
00:48:27to spend a little bit
00:48:27more time
00:48:28with my wife?
00:48:30Or should I say
00:48:30the mighty CEO
00:48:31of Lawrence Corp?
00:48:33And she cooks!
00:48:35I'm going to have
00:48:35to stick around
00:48:36for life.
00:48:40Vivian,
00:48:41what did you put
00:48:43in this?
00:48:46Oh my God.
00:48:47I swapped
00:48:48the sugar
00:48:48and the salt.
00:48:49Three minutes.
00:48:51I'll be right back.
00:48:52Don't move.
00:48:53Okay.
00:48:53And here we go.
00:49:04Mmm.
00:49:05Et voilà .
00:49:11Mmm.
00:49:13Are you sure you don't
00:49:13want to quit the business
00:49:14and cook for me
00:49:15full time?
00:49:16Good news.
00:49:22Guess who just pitched
00:49:23to Stephen's biggest client?
00:49:32Trust me.
00:49:33Whether it's
00:49:34Christopher Group
00:49:34or Everest Capital,
00:49:36as long as I'm
00:49:37running things,
00:49:38our deal's locked in.
00:49:39Stephen!
00:49:40I have some good news
00:49:42for you.
00:49:44Unless you're
00:49:45resigning,
00:49:46I don't think
00:49:46I'm interested.
00:49:48Our biggest investor,
00:49:50Mr. Frank,
00:49:50just decided to negotiate
00:49:51directly with our board,
00:49:53which means...
00:49:54Which means
00:49:55you're officially
00:49:55off the hook.
00:49:56No stress,
00:49:57no responsibilities.
00:49:59Exciting, huh?
00:50:00You think that's funny?
00:50:01Hey,
00:50:03business is cutthroat.
00:50:05Hang in there, buddy.
00:50:05Your next meeting
00:50:21is in 30 minutes.
00:50:22I'll get the
00:50:23presentation ready.
00:50:26Back-to-back meetings
00:50:28again.
00:50:30Why am I so exhausted
00:50:31all of a sudden?
00:50:34I'll take a quick nap.
00:50:35A proper house husband
00:50:42could never let
00:50:43his hard-working wife
00:50:43go hungry.
00:50:45I swear I would
00:50:46marry you all over again
00:50:47just for this.
00:50:56Our deal with
00:50:57Everest Capital
00:50:58is a game-changer.
00:50:59If we execute
00:51:00the plan we're proposing,
00:51:01we will go far beyond
00:51:02what's been possible
00:51:03so far in this sector.
00:51:04our margins
00:51:05and production rates
00:51:06are impossible
00:51:07for competitors to...
00:51:08No doubt under Vivian
00:51:09our profits
00:51:10have skyrocketed.
00:51:11Yeah,
00:51:11but when's the last time
00:51:12that she slipped?
00:51:13Lately she looks like
00:51:14she's running on fumes.
00:51:15Care to loop us in
00:51:16to your little conversation?
00:51:18Don't forget,
00:51:18I'm your CEO.
00:51:20I don't think I need proof.
00:51:24Prove that I have
00:51:25what it takes to...
00:51:26Good news. It's nothing critical, just exhaustion.
00:51:45But also, there's something else.
00:51:47What is it?
00:51:49You're three months pregnant. Congratulations.
00:51:52I'm sorry. What?
00:51:56This can't be happening.
00:52:05This can't be happening.
00:52:07We've triple-checked the results.
00:52:09There's no mistake. You are definitely pregnant.
00:52:16Steven?
00:52:21This wasn't supposed to happen.
00:52:23You always have a choice, but considering your medical history, if you terminate, there's a high chance you may never conceive again.
00:52:36I need time to digest this.
00:52:39Excuse me.
00:52:51Hi. I'm Ashley Lawrence, Vivian's sister. She's been a little emotional lately, so she wanted me to check on her results for her.
00:53:09You told me it was just an act? Why the hell is Vivian pregnant?
00:53:24Relax. I never touched her, okay? That kid is not mine.
00:53:28Then whose is it? Her disabled husband? We both know that's not possible.
00:53:32Maybe Vivian isn't as innocent as she puts on.
00:53:36This could work out for us.
00:53:38Let's picture the scandal for a sec.
00:53:40A wife caught between two brothers.
00:53:43How do you think Aaron will handle that?
00:53:45Aaron?
00:53:46I'm pregnant.
00:53:55Wait, seriously?
00:54:01That's great news.
00:54:03No, it's not.
00:54:05Because I don't know if it's yours.
00:54:08You think it might be Steven's?
00:54:10I don't know. I just...
00:54:12I can't be certain what happened that night.
00:54:17I can't keep it.
00:54:19I won't.
00:54:20I won't.
00:54:20Listen to me.
00:54:25This child is yours.
00:54:27That's all that matters.
00:54:30Just stay where you are. I'm coming to get you.
00:54:32Vivian?
00:54:53What are you doing?
00:54:55She's coming with me.
00:54:57We have a lot to talk about.
00:54:59What the hell did you say to her?
00:55:01I'm just helping her see the truth.
00:55:05I asked him to meet me.
00:55:07I need to figure this out.
00:55:11Let's go.
00:55:20I need you to be honest with me.
00:55:25You were just trying to get a rise out of Aaron.
00:55:28Nothing actually happened that night.
00:55:30Right?
00:55:31Of course something happened.
00:55:33Then why don't I remember anything?
00:55:36I don't know.
00:55:37Maybe you blacked out.
00:55:39But I remember quite vividly.
00:55:42You were certainly into it.
00:55:43One of the best nights of my life.
00:55:48Let me out.
00:55:49Now, Steven!
00:55:50Okay, Jesus.
00:55:51I've decided.
00:55:51I'm not keeping this baby.
00:56:08You know that if you go through with this, you might never be able to have children again.
00:56:16But if there's even the slightest chance that it's Steven's, how do I live with that?
00:56:23How do you?
00:56:24This isn't about Steven.
00:56:32This child is yours.
00:56:35That's all I need to know.
00:56:37DNA doesn't define family.
00:56:40Love does.
00:56:40And Vivian, I love you.
00:56:49Steven's reaction to the pregnancy.
00:57:00Something doesn't feel right.
00:57:03You're just too confident.
00:57:05Too assured.
00:57:10Aaron, something doesn't add up.
00:57:12Something doesn't add up.
00:57:18Why?
00:57:19What's going on?
00:57:20The night Steven drugged me.
00:57:22It was barely two months ago.
00:57:25This baby is three months along.
00:57:27So you're saying the baby was conceived before that night?
00:57:32It was before I met you.
00:57:34I was supposed to go on a blind date.
00:57:37Stayed at a hotel.
00:57:39Met this guy.
00:57:40It has to be from that night.
00:57:45Yeah, it's gotta be.
00:57:48It's not Steven's.
00:57:50Thank God it's not his.
00:57:58It's all happening.
00:58:00Steven's finished.
00:58:01We've notified his clients that the evidence against him has officially been filed in court.
00:58:05I can't believe that tomorrow I get to finally put all this behind me.
00:58:14Show what really happened the night of the accident.
00:58:18And it's all because of you.
00:58:21I sent William everything.
00:58:23My team recovered.
00:58:24It's all there.
00:58:26Make sure Steven never comes back from this.
00:58:29Oh, don't worry.
00:58:31He's finished.
00:58:37You should be more careful.
00:58:41Aaron's been sniffing around.
00:58:42I'm not even worried in the slightest.
00:58:45We're orchestrating Aaron's downfall together.
00:58:47If you continue to play your part,
00:58:49I'll make you my wife.
00:58:51You better keep your word.
00:58:53Don't even worry.
00:58:55By tomorrow,
00:58:56the old man will sign everything over to me.
00:58:58But once I'm running Christopher Group,
00:59:00you'll have everything I promise.
00:59:09Father, you shouldn't push yourself so hard.
00:59:12The doctor warned you,
00:59:13stress isn't good for your heart.
00:59:15I don't want you to worry about me, son.
00:59:16I just want what's best for you
00:59:18and for the company.
00:59:21I'm sure all of you are wondering
00:59:23what the big news is.
00:59:24I've decided it's time
00:59:26to embark on a new chapter
00:59:28in this company.
00:59:30I'm officially signing over Christopher Group
00:59:33to Steven.
00:59:35Any objections?
00:59:39A wise choice, sir.
00:59:41Steven has done nothing
00:59:42but proven his loyalty.
00:59:43Thank you, Father.
00:59:44I know I have some big shoes to fill here.
00:59:47But I promise
00:59:48that I will try my best
00:59:49to carry this family's legacy.
00:59:55I object.
01:00:01There's the accident.
01:00:05There.
01:00:09Or should I say
01:00:10attempted murder?
01:00:12This is impossible.
01:00:13No, no, no.
01:00:13The camera on that road was...
01:00:15Sabotaged?
01:00:15Yeah, I know.
01:00:18But lucky for us,
01:00:19Lawrence Corp
01:00:20is world-class
01:00:22of data recovery.
01:00:23Steven,
01:00:24tell me this isn't true.
01:00:28I had nothing.
01:00:31I had to crawl my way to the top
01:00:33while he was at it everything.
01:00:36I just wanted to be seen.
01:00:37Speaking of secrets,
01:00:40here's another big one.
01:00:42After the crash,
01:00:43I pulled away.
01:00:47I faked an injury.
01:00:50I just wanted this
01:00:51snake
01:00:52to think that he'd won.
01:00:55And in the meantime,
01:00:58I also built
01:01:00Everest Capital.
01:01:01Mysterious X?
01:01:06Hey.
01:01:08Aaron,
01:01:08your patience and resilience.
01:01:11You were always meant to leave.
01:01:15But you,
01:01:16you took the wrong path.
01:01:19I've always been supportive of you,
01:01:21but it's over.
01:01:22You are no longer part of this family.
01:01:25No, no, no.
01:01:25You can't do this to me.
01:01:27Actions have consequences.
01:01:29Now get out.
01:01:40You're gonna regret this!
01:01:51Get your hands off me!
01:01:54So I guess this means
01:01:55things didn't go as planned.
01:01:57If you're here to rub it in,
01:01:59just like the rest of them,
01:02:00get in line.
01:02:02You and me?
01:02:04We're cut from the same cloth.
01:02:06You,
01:02:07the bastard son,
01:02:08and me,
01:02:09the stepdaughter nobody wanted.
01:02:12So why do we keep
01:02:13playing their game?
01:02:16When we could just
01:02:17rewrite the rules?
01:02:18Vivian,
01:02:18let me explain.
01:02:35What's there to explain?
01:02:36How you lied to me?
01:02:38How you made me look like
01:02:39a complete fool
01:02:41while I poured my heart out?
01:02:42No.
01:02:43No!
01:02:45My feelings for you
01:02:46were never
01:02:47a lie.
01:02:49I just,
01:02:49I had to make sure
01:02:50that my plan would work.
01:02:51I couldn't risk it.
01:02:52And you didn't trust me
01:02:52to be part of it.
01:02:58There's no coming back
01:02:59from this.
01:03:02We're done, Aaron.
01:03:04I want a divorce.
01:03:05Damn, Viv.
01:03:22You moving in
01:03:22or launching
01:03:23an apartment store?
01:03:24Come on.
01:03:25You can't spare
01:03:26one room for your bestie?
01:03:28Yeah.
01:03:28Well,
01:03:29Daddy put my black card
01:03:30in timeout,
01:03:31so technically I'm broke.
01:03:33Yeah.
01:03:34But,
01:03:34now that you're a CEO,
01:03:36I guess you could be
01:03:37my sugar ma.
01:03:38Yeah?
01:03:39Fine.
01:03:41At least make yourself useful
01:03:42and help me unpack.
01:03:45Okay.
01:03:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:03:47Thanks.
01:03:52So,
01:03:53you're really divorcing Aaron?
01:03:55He lied to my face
01:03:56for months.
01:03:57What am I supposed to do?
01:03:58Applaud his performance?
01:04:00Okay,
01:04:01but he did kind of do it
01:04:01to take down Stephen.
01:04:02Aaron Christopher
01:04:04has officially assumed
01:04:05leadership of Christopher Group,
01:04:07securing his place
01:04:09as the new CEO.
01:04:10Damn.
01:04:11Your man is really
01:04:12the whole package.
01:04:14Hey,
01:04:14if you're done with him,
01:04:15I'm happy to...
01:04:18Fair enough.
01:04:22Vivian,
01:04:35it's 7 a.m.
01:04:36Are you possessed?
01:04:37Nope.
01:04:38Just focusing on me
01:04:40and getting on with my life.
01:04:42You sure you're not overdoing it?
01:04:44Especially with the baby?
01:04:46Still ghosting him?
01:04:52That makes what?
01:04:54300 texts?
01:04:55Damn,
01:04:56the guy's not giving up.
01:04:58I don't want to talk about him.
01:05:00I have exactly 29 minutes
01:05:02until I have to deal
01:05:03with corporate sharks.
01:05:04At least have some breakfast.
01:05:05Oh, my God.
01:05:07By now,
01:05:15Aaron would have dropped off
01:05:16my favorite lunch.
01:05:18No way.
01:05:20Could it be?
01:05:25Could it be?
01:05:28Hey, boss.
01:05:29The research team's ready for you,
01:05:30but someone thought
01:05:31you might skip lunch
01:05:32and brought you this.
01:05:34Let me guess.
01:05:35Aaron?
01:05:36You two still at odds?
01:05:38It's been days.
01:05:39Who wants to fight with a liar?
01:05:42Buddy is a good cook.
01:05:48Let's go.
01:05:50This is our biggest
01:05:51tech breakthrough yet.
01:05:52It relies on the same algorithm
01:05:54that was used to recover
01:05:55the Everest Capital
01:05:56car accident footage.
01:05:58Hang on.
01:05:58Who was your contact
01:06:00at Everest for that project?
01:06:02Uh, their executive assistant,
01:06:04William.
01:06:05William?
01:06:07Aaron's right-hand man?
01:06:10Could Aaron be ex?
01:06:159%.
01:06:16We can't afford that.
01:06:17That's...
01:06:17Tell me the truth.
01:06:19Aaron is ex, isn't he?
01:06:25Yes, it's true.
01:06:30Look, he had to fake the injury.
01:06:34You think Stephen would have stopped
01:06:35if he knew Aaron was fine?
01:06:36And what about the lying?
01:06:37Was that a part of the grand strategy, too?
01:06:41You think he wasn't trying
01:06:42to protect you, too?
01:06:43That deal you made
01:06:44with Everest Capital,
01:06:45he made sure it went through.
01:06:46That's how you secured Lawrence Corp.
01:06:48He risked everything to back you.
01:06:50And that night with Ralph,
01:06:52he didn't care about blowing his cover.
01:06:53He just ran in to save you.
01:06:55I have a charity gala tonight.
01:07:02Do you want to be my plus one?
01:07:05After all, we are still married.
01:07:08Ma'am, your leadership skills
01:07:15are turning heads.
01:07:16A toast to your continued success.
01:07:18I appreciate the toast, really,
01:07:20but I'm a disaster with alcohol.
01:07:22Let's not ruin a perfectly good evening.
01:07:24Come on, just one drink.
01:07:26Consider it an investment.
01:07:28Appreciate the gesture,
01:07:29but my wife doesn't drink.
01:07:31I'm sure you understand.
01:07:34Funny.
01:07:35Word is she won't be your wife much longer.
01:07:37But perhaps when she's single,
01:07:39I'll have better luck.
01:07:40Nonsense.
01:07:41I haven't signed a damn thing.
01:07:43She's still mine.
01:07:46All I can say is
01:07:47the rumors might be true.
01:07:49And once it's official,
01:07:50I'll be throwing
01:07:50a fabulous singles party.
01:07:53You should come.
01:07:58Aaron, do you care to dance with us?
01:08:02Uh, well, um...
01:08:03Come on, just win the song.
01:08:05Ladies, if you'll excuse me,
01:08:08I have to get some air.
01:08:17Look who finally escaped
01:08:19his fan club.
01:08:22You know you shouldn't be drinking.
01:08:25Come on, let's take you home.
01:08:27Relax.
01:08:28It's just a ginger ale.
01:08:29You are such an asshole.
01:08:38Oh, yeah?
01:08:39So what does that make you?
01:08:41Because this asshole
01:08:42is still so damn in love with you.
01:08:51I'm sorry.
01:08:52What the hell am I doing?
01:09:04Vivian,
01:09:05why are you sneaking in
01:09:06like a teenager past curfew?
01:09:09Because I'm a mess.
01:09:11I was supposed to be done with Aaron,
01:09:13and then...
01:09:15Let me guess.
01:09:18Things got...
01:09:19heated?
01:09:21Maybe I should see you shrink.
01:09:23Look,
01:09:24I just think you should
01:09:25at least have a proper
01:09:26conversation with him.
01:09:28You know,
01:09:29maybe deep down
01:09:30you don't want to leave him?
01:09:32Viv,
01:09:45I was at the hospital
01:09:46with my mom,
01:09:47and you won't believe
01:09:48who I just saw.
01:09:49Who?
01:09:49William with Aaron
01:09:50heading into the ER.
01:09:52What?
01:09:52What?
01:09:53What?
01:10:02Christopher?
01:10:04Where is he?
01:10:06Mr. Christopher
01:10:07suffered a severe
01:10:08heart attack.
01:10:09He's in emergency care now.
01:10:11The doctors are doing
01:10:11everything they can.
01:10:13Heart attack?
01:10:21Please.
01:10:23Don't take him.
01:10:25Not like this.
01:10:28I love him.
01:10:30I still love him.
01:10:32You need to tell him that.
01:10:34Just give me one more chance.
01:10:55Aaron?
01:10:57How?
01:10:58Weren't you just...
01:10:59It wasn't me in the ER.
01:11:13It was my dad.
01:11:14Your dad?
01:11:15What happened?
01:11:16Heart attack.
01:11:18Again.
01:11:19Aaron, I...
01:11:21Look,
01:11:23Lawrence Corp
01:11:24has some of the best
01:11:25cardiologists.
01:11:27If you need anything.
01:11:29Vivian,
01:11:30thank you.
01:11:33Please, just
01:11:34promise me
01:11:36you'll take care of yourself.
01:11:39You're
01:11:40holding something back.
01:11:41What is it?
01:11:44I think we need to talk.
01:11:47About the divorce.
01:11:49Really?
01:11:49You'll reconsider?
01:11:57Yeah, okay.
01:11:59Yeah.
01:12:00Here.
01:12:01Take my car
01:12:01and
01:12:03I'll meet you at home
01:12:04and we can talk there.
01:12:06I just...
01:12:06I gotta get back to my dad.
01:12:08Okay.
01:12:09I'll, um...
01:12:10I'll see you there.
01:12:11Okay.
01:12:11I'll see you there.
01:12:13Yeah.
01:12:13I'll see you there.
01:12:31Ashley?
01:12:33What?
01:12:35Dad, was it an accident?
01:12:37Is he okay?
01:12:38Where is he?
01:12:40I'll be right there.
01:12:41I'll be right there.
01:12:43Dad?
01:12:51It's me.
01:12:52I'm here.
01:12:55Hmm.
01:12:56Something doesn't feel right.
01:12:59Maybe they already
01:13:00transferred him
01:13:01to the hospital?
01:13:07The procedure
01:13:08was very successful.
01:13:10Your father is stable,
01:13:11but you'll need
01:13:1248 hours of close monitoring.
01:13:15I'll come back
01:13:15to check on them later,
01:13:16but
01:13:17I need to
01:13:18take care of
01:13:19something at home first.
01:13:30Vivian?
01:13:35Viv?
01:13:35I need a
01:13:38depending on why
01:13:39I need a
01:13:40change.
01:13:41Okay, Vivian, stay calm.
01:14:09Ashley called.
01:14:11Dad was in danger.
01:14:14I rushed home, and I was there.
01:14:17Then blackout.
01:14:20It was a setup.
01:14:23Ashley, come out!
01:14:26I know it was you.
01:14:29Wow.
01:14:30It took you long enough.
01:14:33You really should have been smarter about this, sweetheart.
01:14:37You could have had everything.
01:14:38Like the money, the power, me.
01:14:43But you just had to throw it all away from that pathetic liar.
01:14:47Go to hell.
01:14:51William, track Vivian's phone.
01:14:53I don't care what it takes.
01:14:55Just find her.
01:14:56I know you've always had a soft spot for Daddy.
01:15:02Well, lucky for you, here he is.
01:15:04Boss, we found her.
01:15:18Send me the info.
01:15:19Meet me there, and bring backup.
01:15:21You just have to sign it, sweetheart.
01:15:34Transfer all of your Lawrence Corp shares over to Ashley and I.
01:15:39You're my father.
01:15:40How could you do this to me?
01:15:51So you and Ashley were in on this together all along.
01:15:55Why?
01:15:56Why couldn't you just support me?
01:15:58Well, I spent years resenting your perfect mother.
01:16:01Nothing I ever did was good enough for her.
01:16:04And you?
01:16:05Well, let's be honest.
01:16:07You always chose her side.
01:16:09So just sign the damn papers, and we can finally move on from all of this.
01:16:14It's the only way you'll walk out of your life.
01:16:17Keep dreaming.
01:16:18Lawrence Corp is my mother's legacy.
01:16:21I'd rather let this place burn down than you parasites take it.
01:16:24Vivian, be reasonable.
01:16:26It's not like you have much of a choice.
01:16:29I knew you'd be stubborn.
01:16:30So here's a little incentive.
01:16:31My darling Vivian.
01:16:41Mom.
01:16:41I wanted to give you one final message.
01:16:44This was your mom's final gift to you before she died.
01:16:46She recorded a special message and asked me to pass it along to you when the time was right.
01:16:52So it's your choice.
01:16:53Do you care to know your mother's last dying words?
01:16:56Or do you want to say goodbye to her forever?
01:16:58Last chance.
01:17:03Sign the contract.
01:17:05Come on, sis.
01:17:06Don't be stupid.
01:17:14Come on, sis.
01:17:16Don't be stupid.
01:17:17Fine.
01:17:19I'll sign it.
01:17:19There.
01:17:32Now give me the drive.
01:17:34No!
01:17:37Look at you.
01:17:39Pathetic.
01:17:39All that crying over a worthless piece of plastic.
01:17:43Everything you had, your company, your life, it's mine now.
01:17:53Eric!
01:17:54Step away from my wife!
01:17:56Whoa, whoa.
01:17:56Just calm down now.
01:17:58Okay.
01:17:59Steven, what's he doing here?
01:18:01Do something!
01:18:02Gladly.
01:18:03Time to finish what we started.
01:18:04Steven, I told you.
01:18:12If you hurt baby, I'd fucking kill you!
01:18:16Ashley, Steven's hurt.
01:18:17Aren't you going to help your man?
01:18:23Ashley, Steven's hurt.
01:18:25Aren't you going to help your man?
01:18:30Hang on, babe.
01:18:31I'm coming.
01:18:32Aaron, watch out!
01:18:33Are you okay?
01:18:53Look out!
01:18:54Not so tough now, huh?
01:19:04Miss Hattie, it's over, Steven!
01:19:07No, you bitch!
01:19:10You will ruin everything!
01:19:12Say goodbye to your precious mommy!
01:19:14No!
01:19:15Say goodbye to your precious mommy!
01:19:18No!
01:19:20No!
01:19:28I got it.
01:19:30Steven!
01:19:31What are you waiting for?
01:19:32Put your hands in the air!
01:19:35You're under arrest for kidnapping.
01:19:37It's not my fault.
01:19:39They forced me.
01:19:40Officers, I think you should look into my mother's death.
01:19:45I don't think this is their first crime.
01:19:50Oh, God, we're finished.
01:19:57It's okay.
01:19:58Over.
01:20:00It's all right.
01:20:06Finally, you two.
01:20:08I'm glad I survived to see you again.
01:20:11But what's this nonsense I'm hearing about a divorce?
01:20:18Um...
01:20:19It's, uh...
01:20:20It's complicated.
01:20:21Complicated?
01:20:22Vivian is the best thing that's ever happened to you.
01:20:24You need to find a way to work it out.
01:20:28Vivian, if my son has done something stupid, you let me know.
01:20:32I will straighten him out myself.
01:20:34But please, reconsider this divorce.
01:20:40He did lie to me, Mr. Christopher.
01:20:44But unfortunately, I'm still hopelessly in love with him.
01:20:49Vivian.
01:20:50Just give me some time.
01:20:51I need to think through everything.
01:20:55I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:20:56I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:21:11I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:21:16Dad, there is one more thing.
01:21:23Steven's going to prison.
01:21:26He kidnapped Vivian, and he conspired with Ashley to take over the company while you were sick.
01:21:30My God.
01:21:32After all these years, I felt guilty.
01:21:34Favored him.
01:21:36Protected him.
01:21:37And this is how he repays me.
01:21:39No, it's okay.
01:21:40It's done now.
01:21:41You just rest.
01:21:43I'll handle everything, okay?
01:21:45Got this, Dad.
01:21:58Aaron.
01:22:00You lied to me.
01:22:03Then you also came to help me and save my mom's memories.
01:22:10What am I supposed to do now?
01:22:15Vivian.
01:22:19Vivian.
01:22:20Sweetheart.
01:22:22Wherever life takes you, I just want you to be happy.
01:22:27And remember that true love is always worth fighting for.
01:22:34I wish you were here, Mom.
01:22:38I don't know what to do.
01:22:39Vivian collapsed.
01:22:52She's at the hospital now.
01:22:53They said something might be wrong with the baby.
01:23:08Hurry.
01:23:09What?
01:23:10Vivian.
01:23:11I screwed up.
01:23:12I know.
01:23:13But I...
01:23:14I can't lose you.
01:23:15Not again.
01:23:17Because...
01:23:31Because...
01:23:33Because I love you.
01:23:34Not again, because I love you.
01:23:42Just give me one chance to start over.
01:23:48Aaron?
01:23:50How long have you been here?
01:23:53I'm glad you're awake.
01:23:55Everything looks good.
01:23:57Your little one is quite the fighter.
01:24:00Definitely inherited Dad's strength.
01:24:05Wait, how do you know who the...
01:24:07Do you remember that night before the blind date?
01:24:10You left a note complimenting my exceptional performance.
01:24:16That was you?
01:24:18Vivian, this is our baby.
01:24:22Now we really can be together.
01:24:25I can't believe it.
01:24:27Our story started long before we even knew it.
01:24:30Vivian Lawrence, no matter what life throws at us,
01:24:39I promise I will always be by your side.
01:24:42I will love you and protect you and our baby.
01:24:47So Vivian, will you marry me again?
01:24:55Yes.
01:24:56Yes.
01:24:57Yes.
01:24:58Yes.
01:24:59You're everything that I crave in this life.
01:25:06We're everything we can find in another life.
01:25:14What?
01:25:15Oh.
01:25:16Look.
01:25:17Good.
01:25:18Oh.
01:25:19Oh.
01:25:20Well, we're going after the day.
01:25:21And we'll go home and try.
01:25:23That I want you
