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, what 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, one 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.
00:00:34Is 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 Steven was responsible for his accident.
00:00:47Steven hurt his own brother? That's absurd.
00:00:50Once we can get that footage to the team at Lawrence Corp, we can end this.
00:00:53It's such a shame a woman like you.
00:00:56We sit on a man like Aaron.
00:00:57Keep your hands to yourself.
00:01:00I heard his heart belongs to someone else.
00:01:02You can't do this to me!
00:01:03Watch me!
00:01:04Let's see if Leo Christopher still wants to marry me now.
00:01:06You're Vivian Lawrence?
00:01:08Oh God.
00:01:09What is that on your face?
00:01:10You know, you look nothing like your profile pic.
00:01:14More like a warthog.
00:01:15With a trust fund.
00:01:16You think I want this marriage, please.
00:01:20But I did enjoy your dad and stepmom begging me on their knees to show up today.
00:01:21Pathetic.
00:01:22Pathetic.
00:01:23Pathetic.
00:01:24Pathetic.
00:01:25Pathetic.
00:01:26Pathetic.
00:01:27Pathetic.
00:01:28Pathetic.
00:01:29Pathetic.
00:01:30Pathetic.
00:01:31Pathetic.
00:01:32Pathetic.
00:01:33Pathetic.
00:01:34Pathetic.
00:01:35Pathetic.
00:01:36Pathetic.
00:01:37Pathetic.
00:01:38Pathetic.
00:01:43Pathetic.
00:01:45Pathetic.
00:01:50Pathetic.
00:01:55Get up! Don't make this hard for me!
00:02:14Tell her to forget about drugging me and shipping me off to marry that creep Leo!
00:02:18Excuse me, what are you doing to my room?
00:02:23Well, abs? Test on an answer.
00:02:28Sorry, I...
00:02:30Are you okay?
00:02:32Someone's trying to get me.
00:02:36Get out! I said get out!
00:02:53Wait...
00:02:58Do you know who I am?
00:03:00A really, really hot guy.
00:03:03I don't know.
00:03:04I don't know.
00:03:05I don't know.
00:03:06I don't know.
00:03:08I don't know.
00:03:09I don't know.
00:03:10I don't know.
00:03:11I don't know.
00:03:15I don't know.
00:03:18I don't know.
00:03:20I'm alive!
00:03:22I'm alive!
00:03:24Vivian, where 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?
00:03:46You'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.
00:03:55Did 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.
00:04:13Let's pretend this never happened.
00:04:16No hard feelings.
00:04:17Last night was magnificent.
00:04:24Yeah.
00:04:28Yeah, I remember the arranged date.
00:04:30I'll be there to check it out.
00:04:31Thanks for stopping by.
00:04:48But your services won't be needed.
00:04:52I've already found my husband.
00:04:53I'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...
00:05:19You're being visually challenging.
00:05:24Maybe you are a match made in heaven.
00:05:27Didn'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?
00:05:34You know, I've been meaning to call your mother and check in.
00:05:40Say hi.
00:05:44My apologies for the misunderstanding.
00:05:48It's nice meeting you.
00:05:49There's no way.
00:05:58I remember last night.
00:06:03This can't be the same person.
00:06:07Luke's just like her.
00:06:13But that 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.
00:06:36One year, you helped me get back my mother's inheritance.
00:06:43Done.
00:06:44But I also have a condition we'll need to discuss.
00:06:49I don't care about her.
00:06:49I don't care about her.
00:06:50I don't care about her.
00:06:53Good morning, dad.
00:06:55You look happy to see me.
00:06:56No one has time for your little games, Vivian.
00:06:59Vivian.
00:07:01Leo just called.
00:07:02Needless to say, he was not impressed.
00:07:06To be honest, he said you were ugly and uncultured.
00:07:10Can't blame him. If I were a guy with his pedigree, I wouldn't be caught dead with you.
00:07:15I was really hoping this one would work out. Well, I guess no husband,
00:07:23no inheritance. And now that you're done embarrassing the family name,
00:07:29be useful for once, Vivian. Please leave this house.
00:07:33This is my mother's house. If anyone's gonna get the hell out, it's you. Bunch of freeloading
00:07:39parasites. Daddy, she's lost it. Vivian, are you insane? Get the hell out.
00:07:49One more thing. Mom left me 50% of Lawrence Corp. So guess what, Daddy? That makes me the boss here.
00:07:59No, that is impossible. Leo said that... Who said Leo was my only option?
00:08:17Aaron Christopher? Who the hell is that?
00:08:21Leo's uncle. Paralyzed in an accident years ago, became a total recluse and hasn't amounted to much
00:08:31ever since. Well, congratulations, Vivian. Looks like you found yourself a real winner.
00:08:36Boss, we finally have a lead on the accident from five years ago. Our team managed to find the original
00:08:53surveillance footage. That took long enough. Seems like someone is really trying to bury this.
00:08:58Once I have the evidence that I need, Steven is finished. It's still amazing that you spent all
00:09:05these years faking an injury. Had your whole family thinking you'd given up. Meanwhile,
00:09:08you're building an entire empire from the shadows of Zex. That's not just revenge, boss. That's art.
00:09:15That's justice. But there's only one problem. Steven's team wiped everything. Not a trace.
00:09:20There's always a trace. You ever heard of Lawrence Corp? Yeah. Big tech giant owns Skynet. They have
00:09:30something to do with data restoration. Exactly. Guess who just took over as their new CEO?
00:09:43For my mother's will, I'm officially stepping in as CEO of Lawrence Corp.
00:09:47This is absolute nonsense. Vivian isn't qualified for this. And frankly, is this what we want as the
00:09:53face of our company? We're asking for a PR nightmare. And let's not forget, her new husband,
00:09:59Aaron Christopher, not exactly bringing much to the table. Do you want this company to become a total
00:10:04laughing stock? Vivian, the board has concerns about your leadership. There's no proof you're ready for this.
00:10:10unless you can prove your worth. Land a contract with Everest Capital in the next three days, and
00:10:21we'll reconsider. This is ridiculous. We're just wasting time. Consider it done.
00:10:38Vivian, sweetie, Everest Capital's run by the most powerful man in the world,
00:10:45X. The guy's practically a ghost. What makes you think you have a shot at getting in a room with him?
00:10:51I guess we'll find out. Vivian, please. Yeah, Vivian. What's her big plan? Lurem into bed and
00:10:56pegging for a contract? Oh, please. Like she'd even hesitate. She's probably dreaming about it already.
00:11:02Poor girl needs the attention. Hey, babe. Thought you might need a lift.
00:11:17Hey, babe. Thought you might need a lift.
00:11:19Didn't you know? She's already married. Her poor husband clearly isn't enough. Now she's playing you.
00:11:32Hmm. Well, in that case, I guess I don't mind being played.
00:11:38You entitled bitch. Who do you think you are? I'm the bitch? Look at the way you just threw
00:11:43yourself at my husband. How embarrassing. Your husband?
00:11:48Right. I forgot to introduce myself. Aaron Christopher.
00:12:04Wow. This is nicer than I expected from the least favored son in the Christopher family.
00:12:11Well, it suits me well enough. It's easy to get around. There's an elevator to the second floor.
00:12:18And lucky for you, this will be your home too for the next year. Contractually speaking.
00:12:40Medium rare. Just the way you like it. Please tell me you didn't hire a private chef just to impress me.
00:12:57Oh, trust me. Cooking is just the beginning. Life with me? It's pretty good.
00:13:02To you. My wife. To business partnerships.
00:13:20So, what was that one condition you mentioned? Don't worry. When the time is right, you'll know.
00:13:27Erin? Can I come in?
00:13:50Erin? Can I come in?
00:14:01I 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.
00:14:15You? As your wife, I thought maybe I could help.
00:14:21Uh, I appreciate that, but thanks. I got it.
00:14:36Maybe I could help you get on dress?
00:14:48Um, I know that we're married now, but this is a little fast, isn't it?
00:14:54Why don't you let me...
00:15:04Why don't you let me...
00:15:16Vivian, you're scar.
00:15:39Vivian, you're scar.
00:15:40I'm sorry.
00:15:41So, this is the real you?
00:15:48That night...
00:15:51It was you.
00:15:53I wasn't trying to fool you.
00:15:56The scar's been sort of a protection for me ever since my mom died.
00:16:02Since my stepmother and her daughter came into the picture, it was easier to just disappear.
00:16:13I was no longer a threat to them.
00:16:17I'm sorry.
00:16:18You don't have to explain.
00:16:21I get it.
00:16:21I get it.
00:16:27Where are you going?
00:16:30Like you said, it's been a long day. I should probably get to bed.
00:16:36I was thinking, uh...
00:16:38You were right. It is just our first night.
00:16:51It's been a long day.
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?
00:17:14It'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, even if I never meet your expectations,
00:17:32at least I know what I'm with.
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.
00:17:41Wake up, Dad.
00:17:43My half-brother wants me dead.
00:17:45You always misjudge him.
00:17:46He is a good man and a good brother for me.
00:17:48He has turned the whole family against me.
00:17:50That's enough about your brother.
00:17:53Fine.
00:17:54This marriage is a done deal.
00:17:56At least promise me you'll treat your wife well.
00:17:59Spoil her.
00:17:59Take her out on a proper date.
00:18:03I 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, uh, I need your advice.
00:18:21You go on a lot of dates, right?
00:18:22You want my advice?
00:18:25Of course.
00:18:26Happy to help.
00:18:27Great.
00:18:29How do you plan a really memorable date?
00:18:31Who's the lucky lady?
00:18:34My wife.
00:18:34Who else would it be?
00:18:35You could do worse.
00:18:37Kidding.
00:18:38I got you, boss.
00:18:39Don't worry.
00:18:43Where do we start?
00:18:46Okay, Mr. Mysterious, what's the big surprise?
00:18:51Okay, Mr. Mysterious, what's the big surprise?
00:18:54I swear, if this is some sort of prank...
00:18:59Be patient.
00:19:01Okay, you can take off your blindfold now.
00:19:15Do you really think a perfect romantic evening will win me over?
00:19:18Because it might.
00:19:23I just want to prove to you that I'm 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.
00:19:38Well, 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.
00:20:01You're everything that I crave in this life.
00:20:31You know, you'll make a great husband someday.
00:20:36I already am a great husband.
00:20:38Well, you're certainly full of surprises.
00:20:42What are you doing?
00:20:45These shoes are torture.
00:20:47Shouldn't wear those.
00:20:48Here.
00:20:50A gift.
00:20:54I 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.
00:21:10Thank you for everything.
00:21:14That's all for you.
00:21:27I just thought I'd give you a break.
00:21:41I don't have to worry about me.
00:21:46It might be me too.
00:21:48I just thought I'd give you a break.
00:21:50I don't have to worry about me.
00:21:52Erin, did your light just move?
00:22:22I swear his leg just moved.
00:22:28Is that even possible?
00:22:35Morning.
00:22:38Good morning.
00:22:40I had no idea my wife was so affectionate.
00:22:44I was just stretching.
00:22:47Stretching, huh?
00:22:49You need a little sexy morning workout?
00:22:54Happy to help?
00:22:56I think we did enough of that last night, don't you think?
00:22:59Did we?
00:23:01Come to the office.
00:23:13I've got a secret that'll blow your mind.
00:23:15What'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.
00:23:51Ashley, why don't you focus on yourself?
00:23:55Start working on your resume.
00:23:57Because the first thing I'm doing when I'm CEO is firing dead weight.
00:24:01Like you.
00:24:05You're not going to get away with this.
00:24:07That'll be all.
00:24:08You're dismissed.
00:24:10So, Erin 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.
00:24:33Mom, we can't let Vivian secure this Everest deal.
00:24:36If she does, we're finished.
00:24:38Relax, darling.
00:24:40Everest's rep Ralph, he has a particular kink.
00:24:45And Vivian is exactly his time.
00:24:49Oh, this is getting good.
00:24:56No new leads on Steven.
00:24:58Our 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 is 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.
00:25:19Find her.
00:25:21Whatever it takes.
00:25:24Who's handling the Everest meeting tonight with Vivian?
00:25:26Ralph.
00:25:27Get the car.
00:25:28We need to go now.
00:25:32To a successful partnership.
00:25:33Before we finalize anything, I want to see how enthusiastic you are about this deal.
00:25:40Of course.
00:25:41Our latest proposal.
00:25:42Not what I meant.
00:25:43I prefer a more personal approach.
00:25:47Your scar is such a turn-on for me, Ms. Lawrence.
00:25:48Please.
00:25:49Don't touch me.
00:25:50Relax.
00:25:51Let's toast to a real partnership.
00:25:52Get off me.
00:25:53Get off me.
00:25:54Get off me.
00:25:55Get back here.
00:25:57Eric!
00:26:23Who's Drex?
00:26:25Ralph, you really crossed the line this time.
00:26:35You really crossed the line this time.
00:26:38Mr. X, I 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.
00:26:51I was just following orders.
00:26:53Whose orders?
00:26:55Ashley 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.
00:27:10Oh.
00:27:27X?
00:27:28Last night.
00:27:30How did I get home?
00:27:34The CEO 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.
00:27:51I remember.
00:27:52He was tall.
00:27:54Broad 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 the move.
00:28:07You know, I love your optimism, but 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, I'll lose my claim to Lawrence Corp.
00:28:23Wait, what?
00:28:38What?
00:28:43That was Everest Capital.
00:28:45X agreed to sign the deal.
00:28:50This deal?
00:28:51You brought it back with you last night.
00:28:54But why?
00:28:56Why would X 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 X did.
00:29:09Well, it doesn't matter.
00:29:10Once I get back Lawrence Corp, everything will be different.
00:29:14No matter what happens, I'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.
00:29:41I told you.
00:29:43Everest Capital doesn't work with nobodies.
00:29:48Given the circumstances, I'll be resuming my position as CEO.
00:29:54Who said I failed?
00:29:59Given the circumstances, I'll be resuming my position as CEO.
00:30:03Who said I failed?
00:30:05Per our agreement, I signed the deal with Everest Capital.
00:30:10Which means I run Lawrence Corp now.
00:30:14Where'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, sending 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 from the CEO of Everest confirming that Ashley Lawrence
00:30:33instructed Ralph to harass her business partner, Vivian Lawrence.
00:30:36Everest Capital has entered in a permanent partnership with Lawrence Corp under Vivian's
00:30:40leadership.
00:30:42So, Mr. David Lawrence, Ashley Lawrence, you're both blacklisted.
00:30:45You're both officially removed from 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.
00:30:58What's all this for?
00:31:04Our wedding was rushed, so I figured it's time that my bride gets what she deserves.
00:31:12An exquisite choice.
00:31:13We had this be specifically restored to Mr. X's request.
00:31:18X?
00:31:20I mean, Mr. Christopher, of course.
00:31:24Silly me.
00:31:25Silly me.
00:31:25Silly me.
00:31:25Silly me.
00:31:25Silly me.
00:31:25Silly me.
00:31:25Silly me.
00:31:25Silly me.
00:31:25Silly me.
00:31:26Silly me.
00:31:26Silly me.
00:31:26Silly me.
00:31:27Silly me.
00:31:27Silly me.
00:31:27Silly me.
00:31:28It's beautiful.
00:31:35It suits you.
00:31:37This room is gorgeous.
00:31:39It must have caused...
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.
00:31:53What?
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.
00:32:01I'll be back.
00:32:14This isn't just a necklace, Mrs. Christopher.
00:32:17This is a symbol of eternal love.
00:32:20Must mean a lot to him.
00:32:21Absolutely.
00:32:22Mr. Christopher had this restored five years ago.
00:32:25Said it was meant for his future wife.
00:32:28Five years ago?
00:32:31This 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.
00:32:56Stay with you.
00:32:57Vivian?
00:32:58It was you?
00:32:59It was you.
00:32:59I can't keep this.
00:33:15Why not?
00:33:16It was meant for your first love, wasn't it?
00:33:18It doesn't matter.
00:33:20This belongs to you now.
00:33:22Our marriage has always just been a contract.
00:33:29Now that I have Lauren's court back, I'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.
00:33:40I 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.
00:33:46Well, 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?
00:34:16Do you like what you see?
00:34:25Do you like what you see?
00:34:27I guess the accident didn't stop you from staying in shape.
00:34:32You're not so bad yourself.
00:34:46Maybe this isn't the best time.
00:35:01You should go before I forget how to behave myself.
00:35:12I forgot my jacket.
00:35:14Wait, did he just stand?
00:35:27No.
00:35:28Impossible.
00:35:30Unless he's hiding something.
00:35:33Maybe it's time I dropped by his office unannounced.
00:35:36Mr. X.
00:35:46At Christopher Group.
00:35:48It's just Aaron.
00:35:49Some new developments from the PI firm about Stephen's involvement in the accident.
00:35:53But without the recovered footage, I'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, he might slip up at work.
00:36:08Lucky for me, I have the perfect excuse.
00:36:11Hi, Vivian Christopher, Aaron'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.
00:36:24I'm afraid we have really strict policies.
00:36:26You'll need to make an appointment.
00:36:34Off!
00:36:35Back here!
00:36:35You!
00:36:44You!
00:36:47So, you're my new sister.
00:36:50You're Stephen Christopher.
00:36:52The tie.
00:36:54The 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.
00:37:04Wow.
00:37:06Fire.
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.
00:37:27Oh, me?
00:37:28See, that's an interesting thought.
00:37:30Maybe 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,
00:37:47you'll lose that fucking hand.
00:37:49Relax.
00:37:52Don't get yourself worked up.
00:37:54Just being friendly is all.
00:37:55Or you're just worried about the Christopher Group Gala tonight.
00:37:59Yeah, maybe you're afraid to 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.
00:38:39He is my father's illegitimate son.
00:38:41He has always resented 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 the 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.
00:39:09I did.
00:39:11Yeah.
00:39:14Until 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.
00:39:30If only the past didn't exist.
00:39:31No first love.
00:39:34No what ifs.
00:39:36Just us.
00:39:39Just him and me
00:39:40as husband and wife.
00:39:41Take my hand
00:39:44and my promises.
00:39:46So 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.
00:40:06Father,
00:40:08you know my health makes outings inconvenient.
00:40:10Aaron, tonight is a celebration.
00:40:12Stop dragging old wounds into it.
00:40:14It's an honour
00:40:15to finally meet you, sir.
00:40:18Come.
00:40:19Let's talk.
00:40:20Just the two of us.
00:40:31That necklace.
00:40:33Aaron 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.
00:40:47Aaron 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,
00:40:59Neviat's chairman is expecting you.
00:41:01Vivian,
00:41:01we'll continue this another time.
00:41:09Vivian, wait.
00:41:13I just want to apologise.
00:41:14I don't want to hear it.
00:41:15Brother,
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,
00:41:53Vivian and I had quite
00:41:53the intimate evening
00:41:54last night.
00:41:55Yeah.
00:41:56Yeah,
00:41:56you could say
00:41:57that she couldn't keep her hands
00:41:58to herself.
00:41:59I swear to God,
00:41:59Stephen,
00:42:00you 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 but my sheets.
00:42:06Stephen?
00:42:07What the hell?
00:42:21We,
00:42:23we did.
00:42:24Good morning, sweetheart.
00:42:27You couldn't keep your hands
00:42:29off me last night.
00:42:29Liar.
00:42:30I'd never.
00:42:32Really?
00:42:33Well,
00:42:35how would you explain
00:42:36this?
00:42:41How would you explain this?
00:42:43Hmm?
00:42:45This one.
00:42:47This one's my favourite.
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.
00:43:05What 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 gems 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
00:43:43from here on out.
00:43:44Or we can just show the world
00:43:48what your wife
00:43:49was up to last night.
00:44:07Would you look at that.
00:44:09and now Everest Capital
00:44:10is mine.
00:44:12See,
00:44:13signing over
00:44:14a billion dollar company
00:44:15to your brother
00:44:16for a woman?
00:44:18Now that's either
00:44:18real devotion
00:44:19or just plain stupid.
00:44:23Delete the photos
00:44:24and you'll have
00:44:26my resignation
00:44:26in two months.
00:44:27Two months?
00:44:28Two months.
00:44:29Well, 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
00:44:36in 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.
00:45:01Evian,
00:45:02none of this
00:45:02was your fault.
00:45:03You've been through
00:45:04so much already.
00:45:05you deserve real happiness.
00:45:10Maybe even
00:45:11with that woman
00:45:12you've always loved.
00:45:15Don't worry,
00:45:16y'all.
00:45:16I'll still hold up
00:45:17my end of the deal.
00:45:21Do you remember
00:45:22the stormy night
00:45:22five years ago
00:45:23on Houston Road?
00:45:26The car accident?
00:45:27It was you.
00:45:45You have never
00:45:46been second.
00:45:50Never a replacement.
00:45:51My first love,
00:45:55Vivian.
00:45:58It's always been you.
00:46:05Always.
00:46:05I like it when you
00:46:15take charge,
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.
00:46:34And now for some
00:46:40breaking news.
00:46:41X,
00:46:41the mysterious CEO
00:46:43of Everest Capital,
00:46:44has officially resigned.
00:46:46The reason remains
00:46:47unclear.
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.
00:47:00I,
00:47:02Steven 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,
00:47:10Steven.
00:47:14I wouldn't get ahead
00:47:15of yourself,
00:47:15Steven.
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%,
00:47:31well,
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 Steven out.
00:47:44No, no, no,
00:47:45you can't.
00:47:45I'm the CEOs.
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.
00:47:56Now we just need
00:47:56to make sure
00:47:56we keep him out
00:47:57for good.
00:48:02You've been home
00:48:03a lot lately.
00:48:04Is everything okay
00:48:05at the office?
00:48:08Why are you
00:48:15tired of having
00:48:16me around already?
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 Steven
00:48:23playing dirty again?
00:48:24What if
00:48:25I just want to spend
00:48:27a little bit more time
00:48:28as 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 for life.
00:48:38Vivian,
00:48:41what'd 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.
00:48:54I'll be right back.
00:49:05Et voilà .
00:49:11Mmm.
00:49:13Are you sure
00:49:13you don't want to
00:49:14quit the business
00:49:14and cook for me
00:49:16full time?
00:49:16Good news.
00:49:22Guess we just pitched
00:49:23to Steven's biggest
00:49:24client.
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.
00:49:39Steven!
00:49:40I have some good news
00:49:42for you.
00:49:42Unless 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
00:49:51negotiate directly
00:49:52with 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?
00:50:02Hey,
00:50:03business is cutthroat.
00:50:05Hang in there, buddy.
00:50:06Your next meeting
00:50:21is in 30 minutes.
00:50:23I'll get the
00:50:23presentation ready.
00:50:27Back-to-back meetings
00:50:28again.
00:50:30Why am I so
00:50:30exhausted all of a sudden?
00:50:34Take a quick nap.
00:50:36A 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.
00:50:57Our deal with
00:50:57Everest Capital
00:50:58is a game-changer.
00:50:59If we execute
00:51:00the plan we're proposing,
00:51:02we will go far beyond
00:51:03what's been possible
00:51:03so far in this sector.
00:51:04Our margins
00:51:06and 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, but when's
00:51:12the last time
00:51:12that she slipped?
00:51:13Lately she looks
00:51:13like she's running
00:51:14on fumes.
00:51:15Care to loop us
00:51:16into your little
00:51:16conversation?
00:51:18Don't forget,
00:51:18I'm your CEO.
00:51:20I don't think
00:51:20I need proof.
00:51:24Prove that I have
00:51:25what it takes to...
00:51:26good news.
00:51:41It's nothing critical,
00:51:42just exhaustion.
00:51:45But also, there's
00:51:46something else.
00:51:47What is it?
00:51:49You're three months
00:51:50pregnant.
00:51:51Congratulations.
00:51:52I'm sorry, what?
00:51:57This can't be happening.
00:52:05This can't be happening.
00:52:07We've triple-checked
00:52:08the results.
00:52:09There's no mistake,
00:52:11you are definitely
00:52:12pregnant.
00:52:13Steven?
00:52:21This wasn't
00:52:22supposed to happen.
00:52:25You always have a choice,
00:52:27but considering
00:52:28your medical history,
00:52:30if you terminate,
00:52:32there's a high chance
00:52:33you may never
00:52:34conceive again.
00:52:36I need time
00:52:38to digest this.
00:52:43Excuse me.
00:53:00Hi, I'm Ashley Lawrence,
00:53:02Vivian's sister.
00:53:04She's been a little
00:53:05emotional lately,
00:53:07so she wanted me to
00:53:08check on her results
00:53:08for her.
00:53:12Family should look
00:53:12out for each other.
00:53:13Am I right?
00:53:20You told me
00:53:21it was just an act?
00:53:22Why the hell
00:53:23is Vivian pregnant?
00:53:24Relax, I never
00:53:25touched her, okay?
00:53:26That kid is not mine.
00:53:28Then whose is it?
00:53:29Her disabled husband?
00:53:30We both know
00:53:31that's not possible.
00:53:33Maybe Vivian
00:53:34isn't as innocent
00:53:35as she puts on.
00:53:36This could work
00:53:37out for us.
00:53:38Let's picture
00:53:39the scandal for a sec.
00:53:40A wife caught
00:53:41between two brothers.
00:53:43How do you think
00:53:44Aaron will handle that?
00:53:51Aaron?
00:53:54I'm pregnant.
00:53:58Wait, seriously?
00:54:01That's great news.
00:54:03No, it's not.
00:54:05Because I don't
00:54:06know if it's yours.
00:54:08You think it might
00:54:09be Steven's?
00:54:11I don't know.
00:54:12I just...
00:54:12I can't be certain
00:54:14what happened that night.
00:54:17I can't keep it.
00:54:19I won't.
00:54:23Listen to me.
00:54:24This child is yours.
00:54:27That's all that matters.
00:54:30Just stay where you are.
00:54:31I'm coming to get you.
00:54:51Vivian?
00:54:52What are you doing?
00:54:55She's coming with me.
00:54:57We have a lot
00:54:58to talk about.
00:54:59What the hell
00:55:00did you say to her?
00:55:02I'm just helping her
00:55:03see the truth.
00:55:05I asked him
00:55:06to meet me.
00:55:08I need to figure this out.
00:55:11Let's go.
00:55:12Let's go.
00:55:12I need you to be honest
00:55:24with me.
00:55:25You were just trying
00:55:26to get a rise
00:55:26out of Aaron.
00:55:28Nothing actually
00:55:29happened that night.
00:55:30Right?
00:55:31Of course
00:55:32something happened.
00:55:33Then why
00:55:34don't I remember anything?
00:55:36I don't know.
00:55:37Maybe you blacked out.
00:55:38But I remember
00:55:40quite vividly.
00:55:42You were certainly
00:55:42into it.
00:55:43One of the best
00:55:45nights of my life.
00:55:48Let me out.
00:55:49Now, Steven!
00:55:50Okay, Jesus.
00:55:51I've decided
00:56:04I'm not
00:56:06keeping this baby.
00:56:10You know
00:56:11that if you go through
00:56:11with this,
00:56:12you might never
00:56:13be able to have
00:56:13children again.
00:56:16But if there's
00:56:17even the slightest
00:56:18chance
00:56:18that it's Steven's,
00:56:20how do I live
00:56:22with that?
00:56:23How do you?
00:56:27This isn't
00:56:28about Steven.
00:56:32This child
00:56:33is yours.
00:56:35That's all
00:56:35I need to know.
00:56:37DNA doesn't
00:56:38define family.
00:56:40Love does.
00:56:40And Vivian,
00:56:42I love you.
00:56:57Steven's reaction
00:56:58to the pregnancy.
00:57:00Something doesn't
00:57:01feel right.
00:57:03You're just
00:57:03too confident.
00:57:05Too assured.
00:57:10Erin,
00:57:11something doesn't
00:57:11add up.
00:57:13Why?
00:57:19What's going on?
00:57:21The night
00:57:21Steven drugged me.
00:57:23It was barely
00:57:23two months ago.
00:57:25This baby is
00:57:26three months
00:57:27alone.
00:57:27So you're saying
00:57:28the baby was
00:57:29conceived before
00:57:29that night?
00:57:32It was before
00:57:32I met you.
00:57:34I was supposed
00:57:35to go on a blind
00:57:36date.
00:57:37Stayed at a hotel,
00:57:39met this guy.
00:57:41It has to be
00:57:42from that night.
00:57:45Yeah,
00:57:46it's gotta be.
00:57:48It's not
00:57:49Steven's.
00:57:50Thank God
00:57:51it's not his.
00:57:58It's all happening.
00:58:00Steven's finished.
00:58:02We've notified
00:58:02his clients
00:58:03that the evidence
00:58:03against him
00:58:04has officially
00:58:04been filed in court.
00:58:05I can't believe
00:58:11that tomorrow
00:58:11I get to finally
00:58:12put all this
00:58:13behind me.
00:58:14Show what
00:58:15really happened
00:58:16the night
00:58:16of the accident.
00:58:18And it's all
00:58:19because of you.
00:58:21I sent William
00:58:22everything.
00:58:23My team recovered.
00:58:24It's all there.
00:58:26Make sure
00:58:27Steven never
00:58:28comes back
00:58:29from this.
00:58:30Oh, don't worry.
00:58:31He's finished.
00:58:39You should be
00:58:39more careful.
00:58:41Aaron's been
00:58:41sniffing around.
00:58:42I'm not even
00:58:43worried in the slightest.
00:58:45We're orchestrating
00:58:46Aaron's downfall
00:58:46together.
00:58:47If you continue
00:58:48to play your part,
00:58:50I'll make you
00:58:51my wife.
00:58:52You better
00:58:52keep your word.
00:58:53Don't even worry.
00:58:55By tomorrow,
00:58:56the old man
00:58:56will sign
00:58:57everything over
00:58:58to me.
00:58:58Once I'm running
00:58:59Christopher Group,
00:59:00you'll have
00:59:02everything I promise.
00:59:09Father,
00:59:10you shouldn't
00:59:10push yourself
00:59:11so hard.
00:59:12The doctor warned
00:59:12you stress
00:59:13isn't good
00:59:14for your heart.
00:59:15I don't want
00:59:16you to worry
00:59:16about me, son.
00:59:17I just want
00:59:17what's best
00:59:18for you
00:59:18and for the
00:59:19company.
00:59:21I'm sure
00:59:22all of you
00:59:22are wondering
00:59:23what the big
00:59:23news is.
00:59:25I've decided
00:59:25it's time
00:59:26to embark
00:59:27on a new
00:59:28chapter
00:59:28in this
00:59:29company.
00:59:30I'm officially
00:59:31signing over
00:59:32Christopher Group
00:59:33to Stephen.
00:59:35Any objections?
00:59:39A wife's choice,
00:59:40sir.
00:59:41Stephen has done
00:59:41nothing but
00:59:42proven his
00:59:42loyalty.
00:59:43Thank you,
00:59:44Father.
00:59:44I know I have
00:59:45some big shoes
00:59:46to fill here,
00:59:47but I promise
00:59:48that I will
00:59:49try my best
00:59:49to carry
00:59:50this family's
00:59:51legacy.
00:59:51I object.
01:00:01There's the
01:00:01accident.
01:00:05There.
01:00:09Or should I
01:00:10say attempted
01:00:11murder?
01:00:12This is
01:00:12impossible.
01:00:13No, no, no.
01:00:13The camera
01:00:14on that road
01:00:14was...
01:00:15Sabotaged?
01:00:16Yeah.
01:00:17I know.
01:00:19Lucky for us,
01:00:19Lawrence Corp
01:00:20is world-class
01:00:22in data recovery.
01:00:24Stephen,
01:00:24tell me this
01:00:25isn't true.
01:00:28I had nothing.
01:00:31I had to
01:00:32crawl my way
01:00:32to the top
01:00:33while he was
01:00:34headed to everything.
01:00:36I just wanted
01:00:37to be seen.
01:00:38Speaking of secrets,
01:00:40here's another
01:00:40big one.
01:00:42After the crash,
01:00:43I pulled away.
01:00:45I faked an injury.
01:00:49I just wanted
01:00:51this snake
01:00:53to think
01:00:54that he'd
01:00:54won.
01:00:57In the meantime,
01:00:58I also built
01:01:00Everest Capital.
01:01:03Mysterious X?
01:01:06Me.
01:01:08Aaron,
01:01:09your patience
01:01:10and resilience,
01:01:12you were always
01:01:12meant to lead.
01:01:13But you,
01:01:17you took
01:01:17the wrong path.
01:01:19I've always
01:01:19been supportive
01:01:20of you,
01:01:21but it's over.
01:01:22You are no longer
01:01:23part of this family.
01:01:25No, no, no.
01:01:26You can't do
01:01:26this to me.
01:01:27Actions have
01:01:28consequences.
01:01:29Now get out.
01:01:39You're going to
01:01:40regret this!
01:01:41Get your hands
01:01:52off me!
01:01:54So I guess
01:01:55this means
01:01:56things didn't
01:01:56go as planned.
01:01:57If you're here
01:01:58to rub it in
01:01:59just like the rest
01:02:00of them,
01:02:01get in line.
01:02:02You and me
01:02:03were cut
01:02:05from the same
01:02:05cloth.
01:02:06You,
01:02:07the bastard's
01:02:08son,
01:02:08and me,
01:02:09the stepdaughter
01:02:10nobody wanted.
01:02:12So why do we
01:02:13keep playing
01:02:14their game
01:02:15when we could
01:02:17just rewrite
01:02:17the rules?
01:02:30Vivian,
01:02:31let me explain.
01:02:34What's there
01:02:35to explain?
01:02:36How you lied
01:02:37to me?
01:02:38How you made
01:02:39me look like
01:02:40a complete fool
01:02:41while I poured
01:02:41my heart out?
01:02:43No.
01:02:43No!
01:02:45My feelings
01:02:46for you
01:02:46were never
01:02:47a lie.
01:02:49I just,
01:02:49I had to make
01:02:50sure that my plan
01:02:51would work.
01:02:51I couldn't risk it.
01:02:52And you didn't
01:02:52trust me to be
01:02:53part of it?
01:02:53Yeah.
01:02:53There's no
01:02:59coming back
01:02:59from this.
01:03:02We're done,
01:03:03Erin.
01:03:04I want a
01:03:05divorce.
01:03:05Damn, Viv.
01:03:22You moving in
01:03:22or launching
01:03:23an apartment
01:03:23store?
01:03:24Come on.
01:03:25You can't spare
01:03:26one room
01:03:27for your bestie?
01:03:28Yeah.
01:03:28Well,
01:03:29Daddy put my
01:03:30black card
01:03:30in timeout,
01:03:31so technically
01:03:32I'm broke.
01:03:33But now
01:03:35that you're
01:03:35a CEO,
01:03:36I guess
01:03:36you could
01:03:37be my
01:03:37sugar mom.
01:03:38Yeah?
01:03:39Fine.
01:03:41Please make
01:03:42yourself useful
01:03:42and help
01:03:43me unpack.
01:03:45Okay.
01:03:46Yeah,
01:03:47yeah,
01:03:47yeah.
01:03:47Thanks.
01:03:52So,
01:03:53you're really
01:03:54divorcing Erin?
01:03:55He lied to
01:03:56my face
01:03:56for months.
01:03:57What am I
01:03:58supposed to do?
01:03:58Applaud his
01:03:59performance?
01:04:00Okay,
01:04:01but he did
01:04:01kind of do it
01:04:01to take down
01:04:02Steven.

01:04:41life.
01:04:42You sure
01:04:42you're not

01:05:01minutes until I
01:05:02have to deal
01:05:03with corporate
01:05:03sharks.
01:05:04At least have
01:05:04some breakfast.
01:05:06God.
01:05:07By now,
01:05:15Erin would
01:05:15have dropped
01:05:15off my
01:05:16favorite
01:05:16lunch.
01:05:18No way.
01:05:20Could it
01:05:20be?
01:05:25Could it
01:05:26be?
01:05:28Hey,
01:05:29boss,
01:05:29the research
01:05:29team's ready
01:05:30for you,
01:05:30but someone
01:05:31thought you
01:05:31might skip
01:05:32lunch and
01:05:32brought you
01:05:33this.
01:05:34Let me
01:05:34guess.
01:05:35Erin,
01:05:36you two
01:05:37still at
01:05:37odds?
01:05:38It's been
01:05:38days.
01:05:39Who wants
01:05:39to fight
01:05:40with a
01:05:40liar?
01:05:42Buddy is
01:05:43a good
01:05:43cook.
01:05:48Let's
01:05:48go.
01:05:50This is
01:05:50our biggest
01:05:51tech breakthrough
01:05:52yet.
01:05:52It relies on
01:05:53the same
01:05:54algorithm that
01:05:54was used to
01:05:55recover the
01:05:56Everest Capital
01:05:56car accident
01:05:57footage.
01:05:58Hang on,
01:05:58who was your
01:05:59contact at
01:06:00Everest for
01:06:01that project?
01:06:02Uh,
01:06:02their executive
01:06:03assistant,
01:06:04William.
01:06:04William?
01:06:07Aaron's
01:06:07right-hand
01:06:07man?
01:06:10Could
01:06:10Aaron be
01:06:11ex?
01:06:15Tell me
01:06:18the truth.
01:06:19Aaron is
01:06:19ex,
01:06:20isn't he?
01:06:25Yes,
01:06:26it's
01:06:26true.
01:06:27look,
01:06:32he had to
01:06:33fake the
01:06:33injury.
01:06:34You think
01:06:34Stephen would
01:06:35have stopped
01:06:35if he knew
01:06:36Aaron was
01:06:36fine?
01:06:36And what
01:06:36about the
01:06:37lying?
01:06:37Was that
01:06:38a part of
01:06:38the grand
01:06:38strategy,
01:06:39too?
01:06:41You think
01:06:42he wasn't
01:06:42trying to
01:06:42protect you,
01:06:43too?
01:06:43That deal
01:06:44you made
01:06:44with Everest
01:06:44Capital,
01:06:45he made
01:06:45sure it
01:06:46went through.
01:06:46That's how
01:06:46you secured
01:06:47Lawrence
01:06:47Corp.
01:06:48He risked
01:06:48everything to
01:06:49back you.
01:06:50And that
01:06:51night with
01:06:51Ralph,
01:06:52he didn't
01:06:52care about
01:06:53blowing his
01:06:53cover,
01:06:54he just ran
01:06:54in to
01:06:54save you.
01:07:00I have
01:07:01a charity
01:07:01gala
01:07:01tonight.
01:07:03Do you
01:07:03want to
01:07:03be my
01:07:04plus one?
01:07:05After all,
01:07:06we are
01:07:07still
01:07:07married.
01:07:13Ma'am,
01:07:14your leadership
01:07:14skills are
01:07:15turning heads.
01:07:16A toast
01:07:16to your
01:07:17continued
01:07:17success.
01:07:18I appreciate
01:07:19the toast,
01:07:19really,
01:07:20but I'm
01:07:20a disaster
01:07:21with alcohol.
01:07:22Let's not
01:07:23ruin a
01:07:23perfectly good
01:07:24evening.
01:07:24Come on,
01:07:25just one
01:07:25drink.
01:07:26Consider it
01:07:27an investment.
01:07:28Appreciate
01:07:28the gesture,
01:07:29but my
01:07:30wife doesn't
01:07:30drink.
01:07:31I'm sure
01:07:31you understand.
01:07:34Funny.
01:07:35Word is
01:07:35she won't
01:07:36be your
01:07:36wife much
01:07:36longer.
01:07:37Perhaps
01:07:38when she's
01:07:38single,
01:07:39I'll have
01:07:39better luck.
01:07:40Nonsense.
01:07:41I haven't
01:07:42signed a
01:07:42damn thing.
01:07:44She's still
01:07:44mine.
01:07:46All I
01:07:46can say
01:07:47is the
01:07:47rumors might
01:07:48be true,
01:07:48and once
01:07:49it's official,
01:07:50I'll be
01:07:50throwing a
01:07:50fabulous
01:07:51singles
01:07:51party.
01:07:52You should
01:07:53come.
01:07:53do you
01:08:00care to
01:08:00dance

01:08:03Um...
01:08:03Come on,
01:08:04just win the
01:08:05song.
01:08:06Ladies,
01:08:07if you'll
01:08:08excuse me,
01:08:08I have to
01:08:09get some air.
01:08:09look who finally
01:08:18escaped his
01:08:19fan club.
01:08:22You know you
01:08:23shouldn't be
01:08:23drinking.
01:08:25Come on,
01:08:26let's take you
01:08:26home.
01:08:27Relax,
01:08:28it's just a
01:08:28ginger ale.
01:08:29home.
01:08:35You are such
01:08:36an asshole.
01:08:38Oh, yeah?
01:08:39So what does
01:08:40that make you?
01:08:41Because this
01:08:42asshole is still
01:08:43so damn in love
01:08:44with you.
01:08:45what the hell am I
01:09:00doing?
01:09:04Vivian, why are you
01:09:06sneaking in like a
01:09:07teenager past curfew?
01:09:08Because I'm a
01:09:09mess.
01:09:11I was supposed to
01:09:12be done with
01:09:13Aaron, and then
01:09:14ugh.
01:09:16Let me guess.
01:09:18Things got
01:09:19heated?
01:09:21Maybe I should
01:09:22see you shrink.
01:09:23Look, I just
01:09:25think you should
01:09:25at least have a
01:09:26proper conversation
01:09:27with him.
01:09:28You know,
01:09:29maybe deep down
01:09:30you don't want to
01:09:31leave him?
01:09:32Viv, I was at
01:09:46the hospital with
01:09:46my mom, and you
01:09:47won't believe who
01:09:48I just saw.
01:09:49Who?
01:09:49William with
01:09:50Aaron heading
01:09:51into the ER.
01:09:52What?
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
01:10:10care now.
01:10:11The doctors are
01:10:11doing everything
01:10:12they can.
01:10:13Heart attack?
01:10:21Please, don't
01:10:23take him.
01:10:25Not like this.
01:10:28I love him.
01:10:30I still love him.
01:10:32You need to tell
01:10:33him that.
01:10:34Just give me
01:10:35one more chance.
01:10:55Aaron?
01:10:57How?
01:10:58Weren't you just...
01:11:02It wasn't me in the E.R.
01:11:12It 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 has
01:11:24some of the best
01:11:25cardiologists.
01:11:27If you need anything.
01:11:28Vivian...
01:11:33Please, just...
01:11:35Promise me you'll
01:11:36take 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?
01:11:52You'll...
01:11:52You'll reconsider?
01:11:53Yeah, okay.
01:11:58Um...
01:11:59Yeah.
01:12:00Here.
01:12:01Take my car.
01:12:02And...
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.
01:12:13Yeah.
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.
01:12:43Dad?
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 take care
01:13:19of something at home first.
01:13:30Vivian?
01:13:35Viv?
01:13:35Vivian.
01:13:36Yeah.
01:13:38She's gonna come home.
01:13:40Okay, Vivian, stay calm.
01:14:07I think Ashley called, dad was in danger, I rushed home and I was there, then blackout.
01:14:20It was a setup.
01:14:24Ashley, come out!
01:14:26I know it was you.
01:14:29Wow, it took you long enough.
01:14:34You really should have been smart about this, sweetheart.
01:14:38You could have had everything.
01:14:39The 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, I don't care what it takes.
01:14:55Just find her.
01:14:59I 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.
01:15:23You just have to sign it, sweetheart.
01:15:34Transfer all of your Lawrence Corp shares over to Ashley and I.
01:15:40You're my father.
01:15:42How 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.
01:16:03And 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.
01:16:14That's the only way you'll walk out of your life.
01:16:17Keep dreaming.
01:16:18Lawrence Corp is my mother's legacy.
01:16:20I'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.
01:16:28I knew you'd be stubborn.
01:16:30So here's a little incentive.
01:16:37My darling Vivian.
01:16:40What?
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.
01:16:51So it's your choice.
01:16:53Do you care to know your mother's last dying words?
01:16:55Or do you want to say goodbye to her forever?
01:17:01Last chance.
01:17:03Sign the contract.
01:17:05Come on, sis.
01:17:06Don't be stupid.
01:17:15Come on, sis.
01:17:16Don't be stupid.
01:17:17Fine.
01:17:18I'll sign it.
01:17:31There.
01:17:32Now give me the drive.
01:17:35No!
01:17:36Look at you.
01:17:38Pathetic.
01:17:39All that crying over a worthless piece of plastic.
01:17:44Everything you had.
01:17:46Your company.
01:17:47Your life.
01:17:48It's mine now.
01:17:53Eric!
01:17:54Step away from my wife!
01:17:56Whoa, whoa.
01:17:57Just 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.
01:18:11Steven, 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 gonna help your man?
01:18:23Ashley, Steven's hurt.
01:18:24Aren't you gonna help your man?
01:18:25Hang on, babe.
01:18:26I'm coming!
01:18:27Aaron, watch out!
01:18:29Are you okay?
01:18:30Are you okay?
01:18:31Look out!
01:18:32Look out!
01:18:33Aaron!
01:18:34Aaron!
01:18:35Watch out!
01:18:38Aaron, watch out!
01:18:49Are you okay?
01:18:51Look out!
01:18:52Look out!
01:19:02Not so tough now, huh?
01:19:04This head...
01:19:06It's over, Steven!
01:19:08You bitch!
01:19:10You will ruin everything!
01:19:12Say goodbye to your precious mommy!
01:19:14No!
01:19:16Say goodbye to your precious mommy!
01:19:18No!
01:19:22I got it!
01:19:28Steven! What are you waiting for?
01:19:30Put your hands in the air!
01:19:32You're under arrest for kidnapping!
01:19:34It's not my fault!
01:19:36They forced me.
01:19:38Officers!
01:19:40I think you should look into my mother's death.
01:19:42I don't think this is their first crime.
01:19:46Oh god, we're finished!
01:19:48Oh god, we're finished!
01:19:58It's okay. Over.
01:20:00It's over.
01:20:06Finally you two.
01:20:08I'm glad I survived to see you again.
01:20:12But what's this nonsense I'm hearing about a divorce?
01:20:16Um...
01:20:18It's uh...
01:20:19It's complicated.
01:20:20Complicated?
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.
01:20:26Vivian, 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.
01:20:48Vivian...
01:20:50Just...
01:20:51Give me some time.
01:20:52I need to...
01:20:53Think through everything.
01:20:55I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:21:12I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:21:14Dad, there is one more thing.
01:21:24Steven's going to prison.
01:21:26He kidnapped Vivian and he conspired with Ashley
01:21:29to take over the company while you were sick.
01:21:31My god.
01:21:32After all these years, I felt guilty.
01:21:35Favored him.
01:21:36Protected him.
01:21:38And 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?
01:21:46Got this, Dad.
01:21:58Aaron, you lied to me.
01:22:02Then you also came to help me and save my mom's memories.
01:22:07What am I supposed to do now?
01:22:11Vivian?
01:22:12Sweetheart?
01:22:13Wherever life takes you, I just want you to be happy.
01:22:14And remember that true love is always where it's vital for us.
01:22:18I wish you were here, Mom.
01:22:20I don't know what to do.
01:22:21I don't know what to do.
01:22:25I wish you were here, Mom.
01:22:26I don't know what to do.
01:22:27I wish you were here, Mom.
01:22:32I don't know what to do.
01:22:33I wish you were here, Mom.
01:22:35I don't know what to do.
01:22:39Vivian collapsed.
01:22:40She's at the hospital now.
01:22:54They said something might be wrong with the baby.
01:22:55Hurry.
01:22:56What?
01:22:57Vivian.
01:22:58I don't know what to do.
01:22:59I don't know what to do.
01:23:00I don't know what to do.
01:23:01I don't know what to do.
01:23:02Vivian collapsed.
01:23:03She's at the hospital now.
01:23:04They said something might be wrong with the baby.
01:23:05Hurry.
01:23:06What?
01:23:07Vivian, I screwed up.
01:23:22I know.
01:23:25But I...
01:23:29I can't lose you.
01:23:32Not again.
01:23:35Because, because I love you, just give me one chance to start over.
01:23:48Aaron?
01:23:49Aaron?
01:23:50How long have you been here?
01:23:52I'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?
01:24:09Before the blind date?
01:24:10You left a note complimenting my, um, 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.
01:24:34Vivian Lawrence, no matter what life throws at us, I promise I will always be by your side.
01:24:42I will love you and protect you and our baby.
01:24:48So Vivian?
01:24:52Will you marry me?
01:24:54Again?
01:24:56Yes.
01:24:57Yes?
01:24:58Yes.
01:24:59For everything that I crave in this life
01:25:05With everything we can find in another life
01:25:13Take my hand and my promises
01:25:15Take my hand and my promises
01:25:20They are yours to be held and I want you
01:25:25No one, I want you to find my promises
01:25:26With everything else
01:25:27And the nuisance
01:25:29I want you to know
01:25:31Let me know
01:25:32I can't believe it
01:25:34You won't be afraid
01:25:35That I can believe
01:25:36You are my ki-
01:25:37If I want you
01:25:38To beني
01:25:40With everything
01:25:41I love you
01:25:42I can't believe
01:25:43You're my ki-
01:25:44With everything
01:25:46You're mine
01:25:47I can't believe

01:25:49You're my ki-
