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.
00:00:22Aaron 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.
00:00:56He's on a man like Aaron.
00:00:57Keep your hands to yourself.
00:01:00I heard his heart belongs to someone else.
00:01:02You 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.
00:01:16With a trust fund.
00:01:17I 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.
00:01:39Pathetic.
00:01:40Pathetic.
00:01:41Pathetic.
00:01:45Pathetic.
00:01:47Get up.
00:01:49Tell 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 in my room?
00:02:22Whoa.
00:02:23Abs?
00:02:24Test on an answer.
00:02:26Sorry, I...
00:02:28Are you okay?
00:02:30Someone's trying to get me.
00:02:32Get out.
00:02:36I said get out!
00:02:38Okay?
00:02:45Mhm.
00:02:47Wait.
00:02:48Do you know who I am?
00:02:51I'm a really, really hot guy.
00:03:02Ha ha ha.
00:03:03Ha ha ha.
00:03:04Ha ha ha.
00:03:05Vivian, where the hell are you?
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?
00:03:46You're meeting him in an hour.
00:03:47Do not be late.
00:03:49Dad, we need to talk about this.
00:03:52Oh my god.
00:03:55Did I just have a one night stand with a complete stranger?
00:03:59Shit.
00:04:00He's coming out.
00:04:01I need to get out of here.
00:04:03Let's pretend this never happened.
00:04:15No hard feelings.
00:04:17Last night was magnificent.
00:04:20Yeah.
00:04:21Yeah, I remember the arranged date.
00:04:25I'll be there to check it out.
00:04:30Thanks for stopping by, but your services won't be needed.
00:04:49I've already found my husband.
00:04:56I've already found my husband.
00:05:02Is that so?
00:05:06Leo, try not to embarrass the family.
00:05:08Besides, is that how Christopher treats his future aunt?
00:05:12My apologies, dear uncle.
00:05:15After all, with your impairment...
00:05:17You're being visually challenging.
00:05:23Maybe you are a match made in heaven.
00:05:26Didn't I hear that you were in Vegas last week?
00:05:29Tell me, how 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.
00:05:39Say hi.
00:05:44My apologies for the misunderstanding.
00:05:47It's nice meeting you.
00:05:53There's no way.
00:05:57I remember last night.
00:06:02This can't be the same person.
00:06:06Looks just like her.
00:06:13But that scar...
00:06:16We never had a chance to get properly introduced.
00:06:19Aaron Christopher.
00:06:21Vivian, your future wife.
00:06:24I'm sorry, is that a real proposition?
00:06:27More like...
00:06:28Destiny.
00:06:29Don't you think?
00:06:33Terms?
00:06:34Contract marriage.
00:06:35One year.
00:06:36You helped me get back my mother's inheritance.
00:06:43Done.
00:06:44But I also have a condition we'll need to discuss.
00:06:46We'll need to take us.
00:06:53Morning, Dad.
00:06:55You look happy to see me.
00:06:56No one has time for your little games, Vivian.
00:06:59Vivian.
00:07:00Leo just called.
00:07:02Needless to say, he was not impressed.
00:07:05To be honest, he said you were ugly and uncultured.
00:07:10Can't blame him.
00:07:11If I were a guy with his pedigree, I wouldn't be caught dead with you.
00:07:15Hmm.
00:07:16I was really hoping this one would work out.
00:07:19Well, I guess no husband.
00:07:23No inheritance.
00:07:24And now that you're done embarrassing the family name, be useful for once, Vivian.
00:07:31Please leave this house.
00:07:33This is my mother's house.
00:07:35If anyone's gonna get the hell out, it's you.
00:07:38Bunch of freeloading parasites.
00:07:39Daddy, she's lost it.
00:07:44Vivian, are you insane?
00:07:46Get the hell out.
00:07:49One more thing.
00:07:51Mom 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?
00:08:07Daddy, that makes me the boss here.
00:08:11No, that is impossible.
00:08:13Leo said that-
00:08:14Who said Leo was my only option?
00:08:19Aaron Christopher?
00:08:20Who the hell is that?
00:08:23Leo's uncle.
00:08:25Paralyzed in an accident years ago, became a total recluse and hasn't amounted to much ever since.
00:08:32Well, congratulations, Vivian.
00:08:34Looks like you found yourself a real winner.
00:08:37What?
00:08:39What?
00:08:41What?
00:08:47Boss, we finally have a lead on the accident from five years ago.
00:08:51Our 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.
00:08:57Once I have the evidence that I need, Steven is finished.
00:09:02It's still amazing that you spent all these years faking an injury.
00:09:06Had your whole family thinking you'd given up.
00:09:07Meanwhile, you're building an entire empire from the shadows of Zex.
00:09:10That's not just revenge boss.
00:09:12That's art.
00:09:14That's justice.
00:09:16But there's only one problem.
00:09:17Steven's team wiped everything.
00:09:19Not a trace.
00:09:21There's always a trace.
00:09:23You ever heard of Lawrence Corp?
00:09:25Yeah.
00:09:27Big tech giant owns Skynet.
00:09:29They have something to do with data restoration.
00:09:31Exactly.
00:09:32Guess who just took over as their new CEO?
00:09:42For my mother's will, I'm officially stepping in as CEO of Lawrence Corp.
00:09:47This is absolute nonsense.
00:09:49Vivian 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.
00:09:56And let's not forget, her new husband, Aaron Christopher, not exactly bringing much to the table.
00:10:02Do you want this company to become a total laughing stock?
00:10:05Vivian, the board has concerns about your leadership.
00:10:09There's no proof you're ready for this.
00:10:12Unless you can prove your worth.
00:10:16Land a contract with Everest Capital in the next three days and we'll reconsider.
00:10:22This is ridiculous. We're just wasting time.
00:10:27Consider it done.
00:10:40Vivian, sweetie. Everest Capital's run by the most powerful man in the world.
00:10:45X. The 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.
00:10:54Vivian, what's her big plan? Lurman to bed and pegging for a contract?
00:10:57Oh, please. Like she'd even hesitate.
00:11:00She's probably dreaming about it already.
00:11:02Poor girl needs the attention.
00:11:08Hey, bed. Thought you might need a lift.
00:11:17Hey, bed. Thought you might need a lift.
00:11:18Didn'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.
00:11:36You entitled bitch. Who do you think you are?
00:11:40I'm the bitch? Look at the way you just threw yourself at my husband. How embarrassing.
00:11:45Your husband?
00:11:46Right.
00:11:48I forgot to introduce myself. Aaron Christopher.
00:11:51Wow. This is nicer than I expected from the least favored son in the Christopher family.
00:12:09Well, it suits me well enough. It's easy to get around. There's an elevator to the second floor.
00:12:17And lucky for you, this will be your home too for the next year. Contractually speaking.
00:12:22Medium rare. Just the way you like it.
00:12:24medium-rare, just the way you like it.
00:12:52Please tell me you didn't hire a private chef just to impress me.
00:12:56Oh, trust me, cooking is just the beginning.
00:12:59Life with me? It's pretty good.
00:13:06To you, my wife.
00:13:10To business partnerships.
00:13:13So, what was that one condition you mentioned?
00:13:22Don't worry. When the time is right, you'll know.
00:13:27Erin? Can I come in?
00:13:49Erin? Can I come in?
00:13:57I thought you'd be in bed.
00:14:02You must be tired after such a crazy day.
00:14:07I was thinking bathing must be tricky for you.
00:14:14As your wife, I thought maybe I could help.
00:14:17I appreciate that, but thanks. I got it.
00:14:23Maybe I could help you get undress?
00:14:46Um, I know that we're married now, but this is a little fast, isn't it?
00:15:02Why don't you let me?
00:15:28Vivian, your scar.
00:15:38Vivian, your 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.
00:15:55The scars have been sort of a protection for me ever since my mom died.
00:16:03Since 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.
00:16:16I'm sorry.
00:16:18You don't have to explain.
00:16:20I get it.
00:16:27Where are you going?
00:16:28Uh, like you said, it's been a long day.
00:16:32I should probably get to bed.
00:16:35I was thinking, uh...
00:16:37You were right.
00:16:38You're right.
00:16:39It is just our first night.
00:16:57Erin.
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.
00:17:20You're...
00:17:22Go on.
00:17:23Say it.
00:17:25You know what, Dad?
00:17:26Even if I never walk again, even if I never meet your expectations, at least I know what
00:17:32I'm with.
00:17:33You still resent me, don't you?
00:17:34The board chose Steven as my successor.
00:17:36That was never my decision.
00:17:38All I ever wanted was that you two look out for one another.
00:17:41Wake up, Dad.
00:17:42My half-brother wants me dead.
00:17:44You always misjudge him.
00:17:46He 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.
00:17:52Fine.
00:17:53This marriage is a done deal.
00:17:55At least promise me you'll treat your wife well.
00:17:58Spoil her.
00:17:59Take her out on a proper date.
00:18:03I always wished I was a better husband to your mother.
00:18:06Don't mess this up.
00:18:16You wanted to see me, boss?
00:18:17William.
00:18:18Um...
00:18:19I need your advice.
00:18:20You go on a lot of dates, right?
00:18:22You want my advice?
00:18:24Of course.
00:18:25Happy to help.
00:18:26Great.
00:18:27Um...
00:18:28How 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?
00:18:35You could do worse.
00:18:36Kidding.
00:18:37I got you, boss.
00:18:38Don't worry.
00:18:39Okay.
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?
00:18:54I swear, if this is some sort of prank...
00:18:58Be patient.
00:19:00Okay, you can take off your blindfold now.
00:19:15Do you really think a perfect romantic evening will win me over?
00:19:20Because it might.
00:19:21I just want to prove to you that I am the most romantic contract husband you will ever have.
00:19:29You know this isn't necessary, right?
00:19:31I was just kidding about the private chef.
00:19:34As 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.
00:19:49The steak...
00:19:52Not as good as yours.
00:19:54Your complaint is noted.
00:19:56I'll cook for you tomorrow, but...
00:19:58In the meantime...
00:19:59Happy one week.
00:20:00Anniversary.
00:20:01I'm going to try it.
00:20:02I'm going to try it.
00:20:03After that, everything is common, I should do.
00:20:04I'm going to try it.
00:20:05Well, I'm going to try it.
00:20:06I'm going to try it...
00:20:07I'm going to cry out and stay back to this place.
00:20:09Ben.
00:20:10I'll put the separate sheet.
00:20:13Can I try to be on the chef's.
00:20:15I have to check it out and see you at my next time.
00:20:16Have a good time when I come to go.
00:20:18I'm packing welcome.
00:20:20I needed to pick one of my toenails.
00:20:21You 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.
00:20:50A gift.
00:20:53I want you to feel like you can always be comfortable around me.
00:20:58You know my size?
00:21:01I know everything about you.
00:21:11For everything.
00:21:13That's all for you.
00:21:20It might be my time.
00:21:35It might be my time.
00:21:48I just thought I'd give you a break.
00:21:50You don't have to worry about me.
00:21:52Erin, did your light just move?
00:21:55Aaron, did your light just move?
00:22:22Aaron, did your light just move?
00:22:25Aaron, I swear his leg just moved.
00:22:29Is that even possible?
00:22:32Morning.
00:22:37Good morning.
00:22:39I had no idea my wife was so affectionate.
00:22:43I was just stretching.
00:22:46Stretching, huh?
00:22:49You need a little sexy morning workout?
00:22:53Happy to help?
00:22:55I think we did enough of that last night, don't you think?
00:22:58Did we?
00:23:00Come to the office.
00:23:12I've got a secret that'll blow your mind.
00:23:15What's all this about?
00:23:28Vivian, 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.
00:23:41It doesn't matter.
00:23:44He's my husband, whether he loves me or not.
00:23:47You really are delusional.
00:23:50Ashley, why don't you focus on yourself?
00:23:54Start working on your resume.
00:23:56Because the first thing I'm doing when I'm CEO is firing dead weight.
00:24:00Like you.
00:24:02You're not going to get away with this.
00:24:06That'll be all.
00:24:08You're dismissed.
00:24:11So Aaron does have a first love.
00:24:15Whatever.
00:24:16Back to business.
00:24:19I can't make dinner tonight.
00:24:22Meeting Everest's rep at the office.
00:24:24Wish me luck.
00:24:26Mom, we can't let Vivian secure this Everest deal.
00:24:35If she does, we're finished.
00:24:37Relax, darling.
00:24:39Everest rep Ralph, he has a particular kink.
00:24:44And Vivian is exactly his time.
00:24:48Oh, 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.
00:25:08Once 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.
00:25:19Find her.
00:25:20Whatever it takes.
00:25:23Who's handling the Everest meeting tonight with Vivian?
00:25:26Oh.
00:25:30Ralph.
00:25:33Get the car.
00:25:34We need to go now.
00:25:44To a successful partnership.
00:25:46Before we finalize anything, I want to see how enthusiastic you are about this deal.
00:25:54Of course.
00:25:56Our latest proposal.
00:25:58Not what I meant.
00:26:00I prefer a more personal approach.
00:26:03Your scar is such a turn-on for me, Ms. Lawrence.
00:26:06Please.
00:26:07Don't touch me.
00:26:08Relax.
00:26:09Let's toast to a real partner, Chef.
00:26:12Get off me.
00:26:13Get off me.
00:26:14Get off me.
00:26:15Get back here.
00:26:20Eric?
00:26:21Whoa.
00:26:23Mr. X.
00:26:26Ralph.
00:26:28You really crossed the line this time.
00:26:30Mr. X.
00:26:31I swear it was her.
00:26:32She was trying to steal our company's secrets.
00:26:33She attacked me.
00:26:34That is my wife.
00:26:35If she wanted this company, she would already have it.
00:26:36Mr. X.
00:26:37I didn't know.
00:26:38I was just following orders.
00:26:39Whose orders?
00:26:40Ashley Lawrence.
00:26:41Call the lawyers.
00:26:42Take his confession.
00:26:43Every single word.
00:26:44And William.
00:26:45Make sure I never see his face at Everest again.
00:26:48Oh.
00:26:49Oh.
00:26:50Oh.
00:26:51Oh.
00:26:52Oh.
00:26:53Oh.
00:26:54Oh.
00:26:55Oh.
00:26:56Oh.
00:26:57Oh.
00:26:58Oh.
00:26:59Oh.
00:27:00Oh.
00:27:01Oh.
00:27:02Oh.
00:27:03Oh.
00:27:04Oh.
00:27:05Oh.
00:27:06Oh.
00:27:07Oh.
00:27:08Oh.
00:27:09Oh.
00:27:10Oh.
00:27:11Oh.
00:27:26X?
00:27:27Last night.
00:27:29How did I get home?
00:27:32The CEO from Everest Capital brought you.
00:27:36How are you feeling?
00:27:38Like I got hit by a truck?
00:27:39Yes.
00:27:40Wait.
00:27:41So his ex?
00:27:42Do you know him?
00:27:43No.
00:27:44Why would I know him?
00:27:45I don't know.
00:27:46I remember.
00:27:47He was tall.
00:27:48Broad shoulders.
00:27:49Actually looks a lot like you.
00:27:50Okay.
00:27:51Your legs.
00:27:52Are they better?
00:27:53I swear the other day I felt them move.
00:27:54You know I love your optimism.
00:27:55But I'm afraid you're going to be stuck with me just the way I am.
00:27:56You know I didn't mean it like that.
00:27:57I know.
00:27:58I'm just teasing you.
00:27:59So I guess I didn't sign the deal with Everest Capital.
00:28:00If I can't secure this partnership I'll lose my claim to Lawrence Corp.
00:28:02Wait.
00:28:03What?
00:28:04Wait.
00:28:05What?
00:28:06What?
00:28:07What?
00:28:08What?
00:28:09Are they better?
00:28:10I swear the other day I felt them move.
00:28:11You know I love your optimism but I'm afraid you're going to be stuck with me just the way
00:28:12I am.
00:28:13You know I didn't mean it like that.
00:28:14I know.
00:28:15I'm just teasing you.
00:28:16So I guess I didn't sign the deal with Everest Capital.
00:28:17If I can't secure this partnership I'll lose my claim to Lawrence Corp.
00:28:23Yeah.
00:28:30Wait.
00:28:31What?
00:28:37What?
00:28:42That 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?
00:28:55Why 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.
00:29:01Obviously he wants this partnership.
00:29:04I just kind of wish I could have helped you out the way that X did.
00:29:08Well it doesn't matter.
00:29:09Once I get back Lawrence Corp everything will be different.
00:29:14And no matter what happens I'm always going to be by your side.
00:29:21It's time.
00:29:38She's late.
00:29:39There's no way she closed the deal.
00:29:41Told you.
00:29:42Everest Capital doesn't work with nobody's.
00:29:44Given 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?
00:30:04I failed.
00:30:06Per our agreement I signed the deal with Everest Capital.
00:30:10Which means I run Lawrence Corp now.
00:30:13Where's your scar?
00:30:15Yeah that was fake.
00:30:17No.
00:30:18This is impossible.
00:30:19You 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.
00:30:28We have here an official statement from the CEO of Everest.
00:30:31Confirming that Ashley Lawrence instructed Ralph to harass her business partner Vivian Lawrence.
00:30:36Everest Capital has entered in a permanent partnership with Lawrence Corp under Vivian's leadership.
00:30:41So Mr. David Lawrence, Ashley Lawrence, you're both blacklisted.
00:30:45You're both officially removed from Lawrence Corp.
00:30:47Effective immediately.
00:30:49No, you're not going to get away with this.
00:30:50I'm your father.
00:30:51No, 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.
00:31:05So I figured it's time that my bride gets what she deserves.
00:31:11An exquisite choice.
00:31:13We had this piece specifically restored to Mr. X's request.
00:31:17X?
00:31:19I mean, Mr. Christopher, of course.
00:31:23Silly me.
00:31:24Silly by the tongue.
00:31:26Here, try it on.
00:31:28It's beautiful.
00:31:29It suits you.
00:31:30This ruby's gorgeous.
00:31:31It must have cost...
00:31:32Don't worry about it.
00:31:33You deserve the best.
00:31:34Aaron, I heard about your first...
00:31:35Sorry.
00:31:36Yeah.
00:31:37What?
00:31:38You found her.
00:31:39I'll be right there.
00:31:40I have to take care of something.
00:31:41You keep going.
00:31:42I'll be back.
00:31:43I'll be back.
00:31:44I'll be back.
00:31:45I'll be back.
00:31:46I'll be back.
00:31:47I'll be back.
00:31:49I'll be back.
00:31:51I'll be back.
00:31:53I'll be back.
00:31:54I'll be back.
00:31:55I'll be back.
00:31:56I'll be back.
00:31:57I'll be back.
00:31:58I'll be back.
00:31:59I'll be back.
00:32:00I'll be back.
00:32:01I'll be back.
00:32:02I'll be back.
00:32:03I'll be back.
00:32:04I'll be back.
00:32:05I'll be back.
00:32:06I'll be back.
00:32:07I'll be back.
00:32:08I'll be back.
00:32:09I'll be back.
00:32:10I'll be back.
00:32:11I'll be back.
00:32:12I'll be back.
00:32:13I'll be back.
00:32:14This isn't just a necklace, Mrs. Christopher.
00:32:16This is a symbol of eternal love.
00:32:19It must 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.
00:32:27Five years ago, this wasn't meant for me.
00:32:32It was for her.
00:32:34His first love.
00:32:39We found her.
00:32:40The woman who saved your life that night.
00:32:49Hey!
00:32:55Hey, stay with me.
00:32:57Vivian?
00:32:58It was you?
00:33:09I can't keep this.
00:33:14Why 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.
00:33:22It doesn't matter.
00:33:26Our 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.
00:33:44I don't want to be standing in the way.
00:33:47Well, since we are still married for the time being.
00:33:52Maybe there's something you can help me out with.
00:33:57Well, what did you have in mind?
00:33:58Do you like what you're seeing?
00:33:59Do you like what you're seeing?
00:34:00Do you like what you're seeing?
00:34:01Do you like what you're seeing?
00:34:02I guess the accident didn't stop you from staying in shape.
00:34:03Do you like what you're seeing?
00:34:05Do you like what you're seeing?
00:34:07Do you like what you're seeing?
00:34:12Do you like what you're seeing?
00:34:13I guess the accident didn't stop you from staying in shape.
00:34:26You're not so bad yourself.
00:34:27I guess the accident didn't stop you from staying in shape.
00:34:32You're not so bad yourself.
00:34:57Maybe this isn't the best time.
00:35:01You should go before I forget how to behave myself.
00:35:13I forgot my jacket.
00:35:24Wait, 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.
00:35:45Mr. X.
00:35:46Christopher Group.
00:35:48It's just Aaron.
00:35:49Some new developments from the PI firm about Steven'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, we can end this.
00:36:05If Aaron's hiding something, he might slip up at work.
00:36:09Lucky for me, I have the perfect excuse.
00:36:12Hi.
00:36:13Vivian 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.
00:36:23I'm afraid we have really strict policies.
00:36:26You'll need to make an appointment.
00:36:27You're off.
00:36:34You're off.
00:36:35Back here.
00:36:38You.
00:36:44You.
00:36:44So, you're my new sister-in-law.
00:36:50You're Steven Christopher.
00:36:52The tie.
00:36:53The height.
00:36:54Even his face looks like the man at Everest that night.
00:36:57Could Steven be X?
00:36:58Such a shame, isn't it?
00:37:00A woman like you.
00:37:02Based on a man like Aaron.
00:37:03Keep your hands to yourself.
00:37:05Wow.
00:37:06Fiery.
00:37:08Steven.
00:37:10Did I meet you at Everest Capital the other night?
00:37:12I don't know.
00:37:13You tell me.
00:37:16Are you...
00:37:17X?
00:37:19Look.
00:37:19If you're the one that saved me, fine.
00:37:22I owe you.
00:37:24But don't think for a second that gives you the right to disrespect Aaron.
00:37:27Owe me?
00:37:28See, that's an interesting thought.
00:37:31Maybe we can...
00:37:33Discussing form of repayment.
00:37:35Touch my wife again, you'll lose that fucking hand.
00:37:46Touch my wife again, you'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 about the Christopher Group Gala tonight.
00:38:00Yeah, maybe you're afraid to remind everyone you haven't done anything.
00:38:03Worthwhile since the accident.
00:38:09We'll be there.
00:38:11I look forward to seeing you again, Vivian.
00:38:13I look forward to seeing you again.
00:38:26Steven, your brother?
00:38:27He kind of reminds me of X.
00:38:30Steven can barely put together a sentence, let alone run an empire.
00:38:38He is my father's illegitimate son.
00:38:41He has always resented me.
00:38:44And he's also the reason that I'm in this wheelchair.
00:38:48What?
00:38:54I've been trying for five years to track down the evidence.
00:38:58And soon hopefully I'll have everything that I need to show that it was him.
00:39:01I'm so sorry.
00:39:03You must hate him.
00:39:04I did.
00:39:05Yeah.
00:39:06Until you came along and you showed me that there's more to life than just revenge.
00:39:08Well, I'll be by your side.
00:39:10No matter what.
00:39:12If only the past didn't exist.
00:39:16No first love.
00:39:17No what ifs.
00:39:18Just us.
00:39:19Just him and me.
00:39:20Just him and me.
00:39:21As husband and wife.
00:39:22Take my hand and my promises.
00:39:27Bye.
00:39:27Bye.
00:39:28Bye.
00:39:29Bye.
00:39:30Bye.
00:39:31Two.
00:39:32Bye.
00:39:34Bye.
00:39:36Bye.
00:39:37Bye.
00:39:38Bye.
00:39:40Bye.
00:39:41Bye.
00:39:42Bye.
00:39:46Bye.
00:39:47Bye.
00:39:48So you're Vivian, as striking as I expected.
00:39:59You know Aaron's kept his distance since the accident.
00:40:02If I hadn't insisted on meeting you, he never would have shown.
00:40:06Father, you 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 honor to finally meet you, sir.
00:40:18Come, let's talk. Just the two of us.
00:40:31That necklace. Aaron must truly care about you to give you that.
00:40:35That belonged to his mother, one of the few things she left behind.
00:40:39Aaron's mother, I heard she passed away early.
00:40:42Both his and Stephen's mothers are gone.
00:40:44I only hope my sons can take care of each other.
00:40:46Aaron mentioned that Stephen was responsible for his accident.
00:40:52Stephen hurt his own brother? That's absurd.
00:40:57Father, Nevian's chairman is expecting you.
00:41:01Vivian, we'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.
00:41:34Brother, your wife was so insatiable last night.
00:41:38I could barely keep up.
00:41:47Hello?
00:41:47Stephen, what have you done?
00:41:49Oh, hello to you too.
00:41:52Well, Vivian and I had quite the intimate evening last night.
00:41:55Yeah.
00:41:56Yeah, you could say that she couldn't keep her hands to herself.
00:41:59I swear to God, Stephen.
00:42:00Shh.
00:42:00You don't want to wake her up now, do you?
00:42:02Come on.
00:42:03She's in my bed with nothing on but my shits.
00:42:06Stephen?
00:42:07What the hell?
00:42:22We.
00:42:24We did.
00:42:26Morning, sweetheart.
00:42:27You couldn't keep your hands off me last night.
00:42:30Liar.
00:42:31I'd never.
00:42:31Really?
00:42:32Well, how would you explain this?
00:42:41How would you explain this?
00:42:45This one.
00:42:47This one's my favorite.
00:42:48You asshole.
00:42:49Don't touch me.
00:42:52Wow.
00:42:53You are feisty.
00:42:54Jesus.
00:42:55But you are a lot prettier when 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 and you are dead.
00:43:12Jesus.
00:43:13I have to get a so violent, brother.
00:43:15Besides, I have these.
00:43:18Son of a bitch.
00:43:21Hey.
00:43:22If you roll any closer, these little gems go viral.
00:43:25Get the damn phone.
00:43:28You don't think I have backups?
00:43:33What do you want?
00:43:35Simple.
00:43:37Step down.
00:43:38You resign as Everest Capital CEO.
00:43:41And I'll just take over as ex from here on out.
00:43:46Or we could just show the world what your wife was up to last night.
00:44:07Would you look at that.
00:44:09And now Everest Capital is mine.
00:44:12See, it's not even over a billion dollar company to your brother.
00:44:16For a woman?
00:44:18Now that's either real devotion.
00:44:20Or just plain stupid.
00:44:23Delete the photos.
00:44:25And you'll have my resignation in two months.
00:44:27Two months?
00:44:28Two months.
00:44:29Well, I'll make sure we both burn.
00:44:32Alright.
00:44:33Two months.
00:44:34Guess I don't have to worry about you going anywhere in that state.
00:44:50Erin.
00:44:50After everything that happened with Steven, how are we supposed to go back to normal?
00:44:54It's too much.
00:44:55Maybe we should end this
00:45:00Evian, none of this was your fault
00:45:03You've been through so much already
00:45:05You deserve real happiness
00:45:08Maybe even with that woman you've always loved
00:45:13Don't worry, I'll still hold up my end of the deal
00:45:21Do you remember the stormy night five years ago on Houston Road?
00:45:25A car accident
00:45:27It was you
00:45:43You have never been second
00:45:47Never a replacement
00:45:51My first love, Vivian
00:45:55It's always been you
00:45:59Always
00:46:05I like it when you take charge, Mrs. Christopher
00:46:17Stick to the plan
00:46:29When I resign, nothing changes
00:46:32I still run this show
00:46:34And now for some breaking news
00:46:41X, the mysterious CEO of Everest Capital
00:46:44Has officially resigned
00:46:45The reason remains unclear
00:46:47This is a disaster
00:46:48We're about to close on the client deal
00:46:51Who's going to be running the show now?
00:46:53Gentlemen
00:46:54Let's not panic
00:46:57Everest Capital is in great hands
00:46:59Mine
00:47:00I, Stephen Christopher
00:47:02I'm your new CEO
00:47:04And let me tell you
00:47:05This company's future
00:47:06Just got a whole lot brighter
00:47:08I wouldn't get ahead of yourself, Stephen
00:47:10I wouldn't get ahead of yourself, Stephen
00:47:16I hate to interrupt your little coronation
00:47:19But there's been a change in management
00:47:21What the hell are you doing here?
00:47:23This is an executive
00:47:24Before stepping down, Mr. X transferred his 70% company shares to me
00:47:29And with my existing 30%, well, you do the math
00:47:33That's right, I own this company now
00:47:36No, no, no, this is a joke, right?
00:47:39And as my first order of business, please, escort CEO Stephen out
00:47:44No, no, no, you can't, dude, I'm the CEO
00:47:46You're not getting away with this!
00:47:51Let's get down to business
00:47:52Great work
00:47:55Now we just need to make sure we keep him out for good
00:47:58You've been home a lot lately
00:48:04Is everything okay at the office?
00:48:11You've been home a lot lately
00:48:12Is everything okay at the office?
00:48:14Why, are you tired of having me around already?
00:48:17Of course not
00:48:18Just wondering what's going on
00:48:20Did someone piss you off at work?
00:48:22Or is Stephen playing dirty again?
00:48:24What if I just want to spend a little bit more time with my wife?
00:48:30Or should I say the mighty CEO of Lawrence Corp?
00:48:33And she cooks!
00:48:34I'm gonna have to stick around for life
00:48:40Vivian
00:48:41What'd you put in this?
00:48:46Oh my god
00:48:47I swapped the sugar and the salt
00:48:49Three minutes
00:48:50I'll be right back
00:48:52Don't move
00:48:52Okay
00:48:54Mmm
00:49:05Et voilÃ
00:49:06Thank you
00:49:07Mmm
00:49:12Are you sure you don't want to quit the business and cook for me full time?
00:49:16Good news
00:49:22Guess who just pitched to Stephen's biggest client?
00:49:32Trust me
00:49:33Whether it's Christopher Group
00:49:34Or Everest Capital
00:49:35As long as I'm running things
00:49:37Our deal's locked in
00:49:39Stephen
00:49:40I have some good news for you
00:49:42Unless you're resigning
00:49:45I don't think I'm interested
00:49:47Our biggest investor, Mr. Frank
00:49:50Just decided to negotiate directly with our board
00:49:53Which means
00:49:54Which means you're officially off the hook
00:49:56No stress, no responsibilities
00:49:58Exciting, huh?
00:50:00You think that's funny?
00:50:01Hey
00:50:02Business is cutthroat
00:50:04Hang in there, buddy
00:50:12Your next meeting is in 30 minutes
00:50:22I'll get the presentation ready
00:50:26Back-to-back meetings again
00:50:29Why am I so exhausted all of a sudden?
00:50:33I'll take a quick nap
00:50:34Take a quick nap
00:50:40A proper house husband
00:50:41Could never let his hard-working wife go hungry
00:50:44I swear I would marry you all over again
00:50:46Just for this
00:50:56Our deal with Everest Capital is a game-changer
00:50:58If we execute the plan we're proposing
00:51:00We will go far beyond what's been possible so far in this sector
00:51:04Our margins and production rates are impossible for competitors to
00:51:08No doubt under Vivian our profits have skyrocketed
00:51:10Yeah, but when's the last time that she slipped?
00:51:12Lately she looks like she's running on fumes
00:51:14Care to loop us into your little conversation?
00:51:16Don't forget, I'm your CEO
00:51:18I don't think I need proof
00:51:20Prove that I have what it takes to
00:51:25Good news, it's nothing critical
00:51:42Just exhaustion
00:51:45But also, there's something else
00:51:47What is it?
00:51:49You're three months pregnant
00:51:50Congratulations
00:51:52I'm sorry
00:51:53What?
00:51:57This can't be happening
00:52:05This can't be happening
00:52:06We've triple checked the results
00:52:08There's no mistake
00:52:10You are definitely pregnant
00:52:16Steven?
00:52:17Steven?
00:52:21This wasn't supposed to happen
00:52:24You always have a choice
00:52:26But considering your medical history
00:52:30If you terminate
00:52:32There's a high chance
00:52:33You may never conceive again
00:52:36I need time to digest this
00:52:47Excuse me
00:53:00Hi, I'm Ashley Lawrence
00:53:02Vivian's sister
00:53:04She's been a little emotional lately
00:53:06So she wanted me to check on her results for her
00:53:11Families should look out for each other
00:53:13Am I right?
00:53:17You told me it was just an act?
00:53:22Why the hell is Vivian pregnant?
00:53:23Relax
00:53:24I never touched her
00:53:25Okay?
00:53:26That kid is not mine
00:53:27Then whose is it?
00:53:29Her disabled husband?
00:53:30We both know that's not possible
00:53:33Maybe Vivian isn't as innocent as she puts on
00:53:36This could work out for us
00:53:38Just picture the scandal for a sec
00:53:40A wife caught between two brothers
00:53:43How do you think Aaron will handle that?
00:53:44Oh, I know 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 know if it's yours
00:54:08You think it might be Steven's?
00:54:09I don't know
00:54:11I just...
00:54:13I can't be certain what happened that night
00:54:17I can't keep it
00:54:19I won't
00:54:23Listen to me
00:54:25This child is yours
00:54:27That's all that matters
00:54:29Just stay where you are
00:54:30I'm coming to get you
00:54:31Just stay where you are
00:54:32I'm coming to get you
00:54:51Vivian?
00:54:54What 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
00:55:12I need you to be honest with me
00:55:24You were just trying to get a rise out of Aaron
00:55:27Nothing actually happened that night
00:55:30Right?
00:55:32Of course something happened
00:55:34Then why don't I remember anything?
00:55:36I don't know
00:55:38Maybe you blacked out
00:55:39I remember quite vividly
00:55:41You 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
00:56:03I've decided
00:56:05I'm not
00:56:07Keeping this baby
00:56:10You know that if you go through with this
00:56:11You might
00:56:13Never be able to have children again
00:56:16But if there's even the slightest chance
00:56:18That it's Steven's
00:56:21How do I live with that?
00:56:23How do you?
00:56:27This isn't about Steven
00:56:32This child
00:56:34Is yours
00:56:35That's all I need to know
00:56:36I love you
00:56:37I love you
00:56:38DNA doesn't define family
00:56:39Love does
00:56:40And Vivian
00:56:42I love you
00:56:48Thank you
00:56:57Steven's reaction to the pregnancy
00:57:00Something doesn't feel right
00:57:02You're just too confident
00:57:04Too assured
00:57:10Aaron, something doesn't add up
00:57:16Something doesn't add up
00:57:18Why? What's going on?
00:57:20The night Steven drugged me
00:57:22It was barely two months ago
00:57:24This baby is three months alone
00:57:27So you're saying the baby was conceived before that night?
00:57:32Before I met you
00:57:34I was supposed to go on a blind date
00:57:37Stayed at a hotel
00:57:38Met this guy
00:57:41It has to be from that night
00:57:42Yeah, it's gotta be
00:57:45Yeah, it's gotta be
00:57:47It's not Steven's
00:57:49Thank God
00:57:51It's not his
00:57:58It's all happening
00:57:59Steven's finished
00:58:01We've notified his clients
00:58:02And 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
00:58:13Show what really happened the night of the accident
00:58:17And it's all because of you
00:58:20I sent William everything
00:58:22My 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
00:58:32You should be more careful
00:58:40Aaron's been sniffing around
00:58:42I'm not even worried in the slightest
00:58:44We'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, the old man will sign everything over to me
00:58:58But once I'm running Christopher group
00:58:59You'll have everything I promise
00:59:01You'll have everything I promise
00:59:09Father, you shouldn't push yourself so hard
00:59:11The doctor warned you stress isn't good for your heart
00:59:14I 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
00:59:19I'm sure all of you are wondering what 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 but proven his loyalty
00:59:43Thank you, father
00:59:45I know I have some big shoes to fill here
00:59:47But I promise that I will try my best
00:59:50To carry this family's legacy
00:59:55I object
01:00:01There's the accident
01:00:05There
01:00:07What should I say?
01:00:09Attempted murder
01:00:11This is impossible
01:00:13The camera on that road was
01:00:15Sabotaged?
01:00:17Yeah, I know
01:00:19Lucky for us, Lawrence Corp
01:00:21Is world class in data recovery
01:00:23Steven, tell me this isn't true
01:00:28I had nothing
01:00:30I had to crawl my way to the top
01:00:33While he was headed to everything
01:00:34I just wanted to be seen
01:00:37Speaking of secrets
01:00:39Here's another big one
01:00:41After the crash
01:00:43I pulled away
01:00:45I faked an injury
01:00:48I just wanted this
01:00:51Snake
01:00:53To think that he'd won
01:00:57In the meantime, I also built
01:01:00Everest Capital
01:01:02Mysterious X
01:01:05Hey
01:01:07Aaron
01:01:09Your patience and resilience
01:01:11You were always meant to leave
01:01:13But you
01:01:16You took the wrong path
01:01:18I've always been supportive of you
01:01:20But it's over
01:01:22You are no longer part of this family
01:01:24No, no, no
01:01:25You can't do this to me
01:01:27Actions have consequences
01:01:29Now get out
01:01:30You're going to regret this!
01:01:32You're going to regret this!
01:01:33You're gonna regret this!
01:01:51Get your hands off me!
01:01:54So I guess this means things didn't go as planned.
01:01:57If you're here to rub it in, just like the rest of them, get in line.
01:02:01You and me, we're cut from the same cloth.
01:02:06You, the bastard's son, and me, the stepdaughter nobody wanted.
01:02:12So why do we keep playing their game when we could just rewrite the rules?
01:02:18Let me explain.
01:02:21What's there to explain?
01:02:23How you lied to me?
01:02:25How you made me look like a complete fool while I poured my heart out?
01:02:29No!
01:02:29No!
01:02:30No!
01:02:30My feelings for you were never a lie.
01:02:31I just, I had to make sure that my plan would work.
01:02:33I couldn't risk it.
01:02:34And you didn't trust me to be a part of it.
01:02:35And you didn't trust me to be a part of it.
01:02:38There's no coming back from this.
01:02:40We're done, Aaron.
01:02:41I want a divorce.
01:02:42We're done, Aaron.
01:02:43I want a divorce.
01:02:44Oh, my God.
01:02:45No!
01:02:46My feelings for you were never a lie.
01:02:48I just, I had to make sure that my plan would work.
01:02:51I couldn't risk it.
01:02:52And you didn't trust me to be a part of it.
01:02:58There's no coming back from this.
01:02:59We're done, Aaron.
01:03:03I want a divorce.
01:03:21Damn, Biff.
01:03:22You moving in or launching an apartment store.
01:03:24Come on.
01:03:25You can't spare one room for your bestie?
01:03:28Yeah.
01:03:28Well, Daddy put my black card in timeout,
01:03:31so technically I'm broke.
01:03:34But now that you're a CEO,
01:03:36I guess you could be my sugar ma, yeah?
01:03:39Fine.
01:03:41At least make yourself useful and help me unpack.
01:03:45Okay.
01:03:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:03:47Thanks.
01:03:52So, you're really divorcing Aaron?
01:03:55He lied to my face for months.
01:03:57What am I supposed to do?
01:03:58Uplaud his performance?
01:04:00Okay, but he did kind of do it to take down Steven.
01:04:03Aaron Christopher has officially assumed leadership of Christopher Group,
01:04:07securing his place as the new CEO.
01:04:10Damn.
01:04:11Your man is really the whole package.
01:04:14Hey, if you're done with him, I'm happy to...
01:04:17Fair enough.
01:04:22Vivian, it's 7 a.m.
01:04:36Are you possessed?
01:04:37Nope.
01:04:38Just focusing on me and getting on with my life.
01:04:42Are you sure you're not overdoing it?
01:04:44Especially with the baby.
01:04:51Still ghosting him?
01:04:52That makes what?
01:04:53300 texts?
01:04:55Damn, the guy's not giving up.
01:04:57I don't want to talk about him.
01:05:00I have exactly 29 minutes until I have to deal with corporate sharks.
01:05:04At least have some breakfast.
01:05:05God.
01:05:06God.
01:05:14By now, Aaron would have dropped off my favorite lunch.
01:05:19No way.
01:05:20Could it be?
01:05:25Could it be?
01:05:26Hey, boss, the research team's ready for you,
01:05:30but someone thought you might skip lunch and brought you this.
01:05:34Let me guess.
01:05:35Aaron, you 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.
01:05:48This is our biggest tech breakthrough yet.
01:05:53It relies on the same algorithm that was used to recover the Everest Capital car accident footage.
01:05:58Hang on.
01:05:59Who was your contact at Everest for that project?
01:06:02Uh, their executive assistant, William.
01:06:05William?
01:06:07Aaron's right-hand man?
01:06:10Could Aaron be X?
01:06:155% and we can't afford that.
01:06:17That's absolutely...
01:06:17Tell me the truth.
01:06:19Aaron is X, isn't he?
01:06:26Yes, it's true.
01:06:32Look, he had to fake the injury.
01:06:34You think Stephen would have stopped if 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 to protect you, too?
01:06:43That deal you made with 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, he didn't care about blowing his cover.
01:06:54He just ran in to save you.
01:06:55I have a charity gala tonight.
01:07:03Do you want to be my plus one?
01:07:05After all, we are still married.
01:07:08Ma'am, your leadership skills are turning heads.
01:07:16A toast to your continued success.
01:07:18I appreciate the toast, really, but 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, but 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.
01:07:37Perhaps when she's single, I'll have better luck.
01:07:40Nonsense.
01:07:41I haven't signed a damn thing.
01:07:43She's still mine.
01:07:44All I can say is, the rumors might be true.
01:07:49And once it's official, I'll be throwing a fabulous singles party.
01:07:53You should come.
01:07:58Aaron, do you care to dance with us?
01:08:02Uh, what, um...
01:08:03Come on, just win the song.
01:08:07Ladies, if you'll excuse me, I have to get some air.
01:08:10Luke, who finally escaped his fan club.
01:08:22You know you shouldn't be drinking.
01:08:25Come on, let's take you home.
01:08:27Relax, it's just a ginger ale.
01:08:35You are such an asshole.
01:08:38Are you?
01:08:40So what does that make you?
01:08:41Because this asshole is still so damn in love with you.
01:08:58What the hell am I doing?
01:09:04Vivian, why are you sneaking in like a teenager past curfew?
01:09:08Because I'm a mess.
01:09:11I was supposed to be done with Aaron.
01:09:14And then, ugh.
01:09:16Let me guess.
01:09:18Things got heated?
01:09:21Maybe I should see you shrink.
01:09:23Look, I just think you should at least have a proper conversation with him.
01:09:28You know, maybe deep down you don't want to leave him?
01:09:32Viv, I was at the hospital with my mom, and you won't believe who I just saw.
01:09:49Who?
01:09:49William with Aaron heading into the ER.
01:09:51What?
01:10:03Christopher?
01:10:04Where is he?
01:10:06Mr. Christopher suffered a severe heart attack.
01:10:09He's in emergency care now.
01:10:11The doctors are doing everything they can.
01:10:13Heart attack?
01:10:14Please, don'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.
01:10:36It's more than enough to let the light in
01:10:43The way you're making me feel, it's divine
01:10:48It's enough to let it flow, let it be
01:10:53Aaron?
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...
01:11:22Look.
01:11:23Lawrence Corp has some of the best cardiologists.
01:11:26If you need anything...
01:11:29Vivian...
01:11:33Please, just...
01:11:34Promise me you'll take care of yourself.
01:11:39You're holding something back.
01:11:41What is it?
01:11:44I think we need to talk.
01:11:47About the divorce.
01:11:49Really?
01:11:52Do you reconsider?
01:11:57Yeah, okay.
01:11:58Yeah, um...
01:11:59Yeah.
01:12:00Here.
01:12:01Take my car.
01:12:03And...
01:12:03I'll meet you at home.
01:12:05And 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.
01:12:25I'll see you there.
01:12:29I'll see you there.
01:12:31Ashley.
01:12:33What?
01:12:35Dad was in an accident?
01:12:36Is he okay?
01:12:38Where is he?
01:12:38I'll be right there.
01:12:48Dad?
01:12:50It's me.
01:12:52I'm here.
01:12:54Hmm.
01:12:56Something doesn't feel right.
01:12:58Maybe they already transferred him to the hospital?
01:13:02What?
01:13:07The procedure was very successful.
01:13:09Your father is stable, but you'll need 48 hours of close monitoring.
01:13:14I'll come back to check on him later, but...
01:13:17I need to take care of something at home first.
01:13:29Vivian?
01:13:33Viv?
01:13:38Should I come home?
01:13:40Okay, Vivian. Stay calm.
01:13:42Ashley called.
01:13:46Dad was in danger.
01:13:47I rushed home.
01:13:48I was there.
01:13:49I was there.
01:13:50I'm blackout.
01:13:51I'm blackout.
01:13:52I'm blackout.
01:13:53I'm blackout.
01:13:54It was a setup.
01:13:55Ashley!
01:13:56I'm blackout.
01:13:57I'm blackout.
01:13:58I'm blackout.
01:13:59It was a setup.
01:14:00Ashley!
01:14:01Come out!
01:14:02I know it was you.
01:14:04Wow.
01:14:05It took you long enough.
01:14:06It took you long enough.
01:14:07You really should've been smart about this, sweetheart.
01:14:08You could've had a bad idea.
01:14:09I'm blackout.
01:14:10I'm blackout.
01:14:11I'm blackout.
01:14:12I'm blackout.
01:14:13I'm blackout.
01:14:14I'm blackout.
01:14:15I'm blackout.
01:14:16I'm blackout.
01:14:17I'm blackout.
01:14:44You really should've been smart about this, sweetheart.
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.
01:15:17Send me the info. Meet me there and bring backup.
01:15:21You just have to sign it, sweetheart.
01:15:33Transfer all of your Lawrence Corp shares over to Ashley and I.
01:15:39You're my father. How 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. You 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.
01:16:39My darling Vivian.
01:16:41What?
01:16:42I 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.
01:16:50when 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?
01:17:01Last chance.
01:17:03Sign the contract.
01:17:04What?
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.
01:17:18I'll sign it.
01:17:19I'll sign it.
01:17:31There.
01:17:32Now give me the drive.
01:17:34No!
01:17:37Look at you.
01:17:39Pathetic.
01:17:40That crying over a worthless piece of plastic.
01:17:44Everything you had.
01:17:46Your company.
01:17:47Your life.
01:17:49It's mine now.
01:17:53Eric!
01:17:54Step away from my wife!
01:17:55Whoa, whoa.
01:17:56Just calm down now.
01:17:58Okay.
01:18:00Steven, what's he doing here?
01:18:01Do something!
01:18:02Gladly.
01:18:03It's time to finish what we started.
01:18:11Steven, I told you.
01:18:12If you hurt Vivian, I'd fucking kill you!
01:18:15Ashley!
01:18:16Steven's hurt.
01:18:17Aren't you gonna help your man?
01:18:23Ashley!
01:18:24Steven's hurt.
01:18:25Aren't you gonna help your man?
01:18:26Are you okay?
01:18:30Hang on, babe.
01:18:31I'm coming!
01:18:32Aaron, watch out!
01:18:50Are you okay?
01:18:53Look out!
01:18:56No!
01:19:03Not so tough now, huh?
01:19:04That's it.
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!
01:19:19No!
01:19:21No!
01:19:27I 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!
01:19:42I think you should look into my mother's death.
01:19:46I don't think this is their first crime.
01:19:48Oh, God!
01:19:50We're finished!
01:19:56It's okay.
01:19:57Over here.
01:19:59It's all right.
01:20:00It's all right.
01:20:01It'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?
01:20:15Um, it's, uh, it's complicated.
01:20:20Complicated?
01:20:21Vivian 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.
01:20:38He did lie to me, Mr. Christopher.
01:20:43But unfortunately, I'm still hopelessly in love with him.
01:20:48Vivian.
01:20:50Just give me some time.
01:20:52I need to think through everything.
01:20:54I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:21:08I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:21:20Dad, 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.
01:21:39Hey, no, it's okay.
01:21:40It's done now.
01:21:42You just rest.
01:21:44I'll handle everything, okay?
01:21:47Got this, Dad.
01:21:48Aaron, you 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?
01:22:18Vivian, sweetheart.
01:22:22Wherever life takes you, I just want you to be happy.
01:22:26And remember that true love is always worth fighting for.
01:22:34I wish you were here, Mom.
01:22:37I don't know what to do.
01:22:48Vivian collapsed.
01:23:05She's at the hospital now.
01:23:07They said something might be wrong with the baby.
01:23:09Hurry.
01:23:10What?
01:23:18Vivian.
01:23:22Vivian.
01:23:24I screwed up.
01:23:26I know.
01:23:31But I...
01:23:32I can't lose you.
01:23:34Not again.
01:23:37Because...
01:23:39Because I love you.
01:23:42Just give me one chance to start over.
01:23:44Erin?
01:23:48Erin?
01:23:50How long have you been here?
01:23:52I'm glad you're awake.
01:23:54Everything looks good.
01:23:56Your little one is quite the fighter.
01:23:59Definitely inherited Dad's strength.
01:24:04Wait, how do you know who the...
01:24:06Do you remember that night?
01:24:08Before the blind date?
01:24:10You left a note complimenting my, um...
01:24:12exceptional performance.
01:24:16That was you?
01:24:18Vivian, this is our baby.
01:24:22Now we really can be together.
01:24:24I can't believe it.
01:24:26Our story started long before we even knew it.
01:24:35Vivian Lawrence, no matter what life throws at us,
01:24:38I promise I will always be by your side.
01:24:42I will love you and protect you and...
01:24:45our baby.
01:24:48So Vivian...
01:24:52Will you marry me?

01:24:56Yes.
01:24:58Yes.
01:24:59We are...
01:25:00We're...
