00:00:00See, if Leo Christopher still wants to marry me now.
00:00:03What is that on your face?
00:00:06No one has time for your little games, Vivian.
00:00:08No husband, no inheritance.
00:00:10Bunch of freeloading parasites.
00:00:13Daddy, she's lost it.
00:00:15Excuse me.
00:00:16What are you doing in my room?
00:00:19We never had a chance to get properly introduced.
00:00:21Aaron Christopher.
00:00:23Contract marriage.
00:00:24One year.
00:00:25Help me get back my mother's inheritance.
00:00:27Your husband?
00:00:30For my mother's will, I'm officially stepping in as CEO of Lawrence Corp.
00:00:33Is this what we want as the face of our company?
00:00:38You'll make a great husband someday.
00:00:40I already am a great husband.
00:00:43Aaron mentioned that Stephen was responsible for his accident.
00:00:47Stephen hurt his own brother?
00:00:49That's absurd.
00:00:50Once we can get that footage to the team at Lawrence Corp, we can end this.
00:00:54It's such a shame a woman like you.
00:00:56He's on a man like Aaron.
00:00:57Keep your hands to yourself.
00:01:00I heard his heart belongs to someone else.
00:01:07You can't do this to me.
00:01:09Watch me.
00:01:17Let's see if Leo Christopher still wants to marry me now.
00:01:20You're Vivian Lawrence?
00:01:31Oh God.
00:01:32What is that on your face?
00:01:34You know, you look nothing like your profile pic.
00:01:37More like a warthog.
00:01:39With a trust fund.
00:01:40You think I want this marriage, please.
00:01:42But I did enjoy your dad and stepmom begging me on their knees to show up today.
00:01:47Pathetic.
00:01:48Tell her to forget about drugging me and shipping me off to marry that creep Leo.
00:02:17Excuse me.
00:02:18Excuse 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.
00:02:27I, um...
00:02:28Are you okay?
00:02:29Someone's trying to get me.
00:02:30Um...
00:02:31Get out.
00:02:32I said get out!
00:02:33Wait.
00:02:34Do you know who I am?
00:02:35A really, really hot guy.
00:02:36A really hot guy.
00:02:37I said get out.
00:02:38I said get out!
00:02:39I said get out!
00:02:40I said get out.
00:02:41You're okay.
00:02:42Mm-hmm.
00:02:43Yes.
00:02:44All right.
00:02:45You okay?
00:02:46Mm-hmm.
00:02:47Wait.
00:02:48Do you know who I am?
00:02:50Uh, really, really hot guy.
00:02:51Wait, do you know who I am?
00:03:00A really, really hot guy.
00:03:21Vivian, 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. Do not be late.
00:03:49Dad, we need to talk about this.
00:03:54Oh my god, did I just have a one night stand with a complete stranger?
00:03:59Shit, he's coming out. I need to get out of here.
00:04:13Let's pretend this never happened. No hard feelings.
00:04:17Last night was magnificent.
00:04:25Yeah.
00:04:27Yeah, I remember the arranged date. I'll be there to check it out.
00:04:31Thanks for stopping by. But your services won't be needed. I've already found my husband. I've already found my husband. I've already found my husband.
00:04:50I've already found my husband.
00:04:57I've already found my husband.
00:05:05Is that so?
00:05:06Leo, try not to embarrass the family. Besides, is that how Christopher treats his future aunt?
00:05:12My apologies, dear uncle. After all, with your impairment.
00:05:21You're being visually challenging. Maybe you are a match made in heaven.
00:05:25Didn't I hear that you were in Vegas last week? Tell 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. Say hi.
00:05:40Say hi.
00:05:44My apologies for the misunderstanding.
00:05:48It's nice meeting you.
00:05:55There's no way.
00:05:57I remember last night.
00:05:59Last night.
00:06:03This can't be the same person.
00:06:07Lucia's like her.
00:06:14But that scar...
00:06:17We never had a chance to get properly introduced.
00:06:20Aaron Christopher.
00:06:22Vivian, your future wife.
00:06:26I'm sorry, is that a real proposition?
00:06:27More like destiny. Don't you think?
00:06:33Terms?
00:06:34Contract marriage.
00:06:36One year.
00:06:37You helped me get back my mother's inheritance.
00:06:43Done.
00:06:45But I also have a condition we'll need to discuss.
00:06:53Morning, Dad.
00:06:55You look happy to see me.
00:06:56No one has time for your little games, Vivian.
00:06:59Vivian.
00:07:01Leo just called.
00:07:03Needless to say, he was not impressed.
00:07:06To be honest, he said you were ugly and uncultured.
00:07:10Can't blame him.
00:07:12Fire a guy with his pedigree.
00:07:14I 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.
00:07:22No inheritance.
00:07:25And now that you're done embarrassing the family name,
00:07:29be useful for once, Vivian.
00:07:31Please leave this house.
00:07:33This is my mother's house.
00:07:35If anyone's gonna get the hell out, it's you.
00:07:36Bunch of freeloading parasites.
00:07:38Daddy, she's lost it.
00:07:40Vivian, are you insane?
00:07:42Get the hell out.
00:07:44One more thing.
00:07:46Mom left me 50% of Lawrence Corp.
00:07:49So guess what, Daddy?
00:07:50That makes me the boss here.
00:07:55So guess what, Daddy?
00:07:57That makes me the boss here.
00:07:59So guess what, Daddy?
00:08:03That makes me the boss here.
00:08:05No, that is impossible.
00:08:07Leo said that...
00:08:09Who said Leo was my only option?
00:08:13Oh, no.
00:08:14Aaron Christopher?
00:08:15Who the hell is that?
00:08:17Leo's uncle.
00:08:19Paralyzed in an accident years ago,
00:08:20became a total recluse and hasn't amounted to much ever since.
00:08:24Well, congratulations, Vivian.
00:08:26Looks like you found yourself a real winner.
00:08:45Boss, 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.
00:08:59Once I have the evidence that I need, Steven is finished.
00:09:03It's still amazing that you spent all these years faking an injury.
00:09:06Had your whole family thinking you'd given up.
00:09:08Meanwhile, you're building an entire empire from the shadows of Zex.
00:09:11That's not just revenge, boss.
00:09:12That's art.
00:09:15That's justice.
00:09:17But there's only one problem.
00:09:18Steven's team wiped everything.
00:09:19There's not a trace.
00:09:22There's always a trace.
00:09:24You ever heard of Lawrence Corp?
00:09:26Yeah.
00:09:27Big tech giant owns Skynet.
00:09:29They have something to do with data restoration.
00:09:31Exactly.
00:09:33Guess who just took over as their new CEO?
00:09:43For 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.
00:09:57And 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?
00:10:04Vivian, the board has concerns about your leadership. There's no proof you're ready for this.
00:10:13Unless you can prove your worth.
00:10:16Land a contract with Everest Capital in the next three days and we'll reconsider.
00:10:21We'll reconsider.
00:10:23This is ridiculous. We're just wasting time.
00:10:29Consider it done.
00:10:40Vivian, sweetie. Everest Capital is run by the most powerful man in the world, X.
00:10:45The 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.
00:10:53Vivian, please.
00:10:54Yeah, Vivian. What's her big plan? Lurman to bed and pegging for a contract?
00:10:58Oh, please. Like she'd even hesitate. She's probably dreaming about it already. Poor girl needs the attention.
00:11:08Hey, babe. Thought you might need a lift.
00:11:11Okay.
00:11:15Didn'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.
00:11:37You 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?
00:11:47Right.
00:11:49I forgot to introduce myself. Aaron Christopher.
00:11:51Aaron Christopher.
00:12:04Wow. This is nicer than I expected from the least favored son in the Christopher family.
00:12:10Well, 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.
00:12:23Okay.
00:12:29Wow.
00:12:39We're great дети.
00:12:43What are we doing?
00:12:45Medium 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.
00:13:09To business partnerships.
00:13:15So, what was that one condition you mentioned?
00:13:23Don't worry. When the time is right, you'll know.
00:13:45Aaron? Can I come in?
00:13:51Aaron? Can I come in?
00:13:57I thought you'd be in bed.
00:14:02You must be tired after such a crazy day.
00:14:08I was thinking bathing must be tricky for you.
00:14:14As your wife, I thought maybe I could help.
00:14:18Uh, I appreciate that, but thanks. I got it.
00:14:24Maybe I could help you get on dress?
00:14:34Um, I know that we're married now, but this is a little fast, isn't it?
00:14:52Why don't you let me?
00:15:06Vivian, your scar?
00:15:30Vivian, your scar.
00:15:40I'm sorry.
00:15:41So, this is the real you?
00:15:45That night, it was you.
00:15:51I wasn't trying to fool you.
00:15:55The scars have been sort of a protection for me ever since my mom died.
00:16:01Since my stepmother and her daughter came into the picture, it was easier to just disappear.
00:16:08I was no longer a threat to them.
00:16:13I'm sorry.
00:16:18You don't have to explain.
00:16:21I get it.
00:16:27Where are you going?
00:16:30Uh, like you said, it's been a long day.
00:16:33I should probably get to bed.
00:16:36I was thinking, uh...
00:16:38You were right.
00:16:39It is just our first night.
00:16:42Aaron.
00:16:57Who the hell gave you permission to get married?
00:17:02Who the hell gave you permission to get married?
00:17:11It's my marriage.
00:17:12It's my life.
00:17:13I don't need your approval.
00:17:14Ever since that accident, you've changed.
00:17:16You're...
00:17:17Go on.
00:17:18Say it.
00:17:19You know what, Dad?
00:17:20Even 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?
00:17:35The board chose Steven as my successor.
00:17:37That was never my decision.
00:17:39All I ever wanted was that you two look out for one another.
00:17:42Wake up, Dad.
00:17:43My half-brother wants me dead.
00:17:45You always misjudge him.
00:17:46He is a good man and a good brother for 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.
00:18:00I always wished I was a better husband to your mother.
00:18:07Don't mess this up.
00:18:16You wanted to see me, boss?
00:18:18William, I need your advice.
00:18:21You go on a lot of dates, right?
00:18:23You want my advice?
00:18:25Of course.
00:18:26Happy to help.
00:18:27Great.
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?
00:18:35We could do worse.
00:18:37Kidding.
00:18:38I got you, boss.
00:18:39Don't worry.
00:18:41Where 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?
00:18:55I swear, if this is some sort of prank...
00:18:58Be patient.
00:18:59Okay, you can take off your blindfold now.
00:19:02Do you really think a perfect romantic evening will win me over?
00:19:18Because it might.
00:19:19I 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.
00:19:33As long as we are married, I'm going to treat you right.
00:19:37Well, in that case, dear husband, I do have one complaint.
00:19:50The 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.
00:20:02They are good.
00:20:04I was waiting for you.
00:20:08You're the only third.
00:20:09You're the only third.
00:20:10The first thing I was missing.

00:23:34it doesn't matter he's my husband whether he loves me or not you really are delusional
00:23:50Ashley why don't you focus on yourself start working on your resume because the first thing I'm doing when I'm CEO is firing dead weight like you

00:24:09so Aaron does have a first love whatever back to business I can't make dinner tonight meeting Everest rep at the office wish me luck
00:24:24mom we can't let Vivian secure this Everest deal if she does we're finished relax darling Everest rep Ralph he has a particular kink and Vivian is exactly his time oh this is getting good
00:24:51no reasoning
00:24:56no new leads on Steven our team'll try tracking down additional surveillance
00:25:01from the night of the accident no luck I've waited five years at this point it's a little
00:25:07bit longer once Vivian's able to secure Lawrence corp we'll have everything we need to recover the footage
00:25:13there's something else the woman who saved your life that night we might finally have a lead
00:25:19on her. Find her. Whatever it takes. Who's handling the Everest meeting tonight with Vivian?
00:25:30Ralph. Get the car. We need to go now.
00:25:44To a successful partnership.
00:25:45Before we finalize anything, I want to see how enthusiastic you are about this deal.
00:25:55Our latest proposal. Not what I meant. I prefer a more personal approach. Your scar is such
00:26:05a turn-on for me, Ms. Lawrence. Please. Don't touch me. Relax. Let's toke to a real partnership.
00:26:12Mr. X. Ralph. You really crossed the line this time.
00:26:31Mr. X, I swear it was her. She was trying to steal our company's secrets. She attacked
00:26:43me. That is my wife. If she wanted this company, she would already have it. Mr. X, I didn't
00:26:49know it. I was just following orders. Whose orders? Ashley Lawrence. Call the lawyers. Take
00:27:03his confession every single word. And William, make sure I never see his face at Everest again.
00:27:10Oh.
00:27:11Mr. X? Last night. How did I get home?
00:27:33The CEO from Everest Capital brought you.
00:27:38How are 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, why 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 them move.
00:28:07You know, I love your optimism,
00:28:09but I'm afraid you're going to be stuck with me just the way I am.
00:28:12You know I didn't mean it like that.
00:28:14I know, I'm just teasing you.
00:28:16So I guess I didn't sign the deal with Everest Capital.
00:28:20If I can't secure this partnership,
00:28:21I'll lose my claim to Lawrence Corp.
00:28:30Wait, what?
00:28:38What?
00:28:42That was Everest Capital.
00:28:45Ex agreed to sign the deal.
00:28:50This deal?
00:28:52You brought it back with you last night.
00:28:54But why?
00:28:56Why would Ex agree to work with me?
00:28:57I didn't even get a chance to tell him about the proposal.
00:29:00Don't question it.
00:29:02Obviously, he wants this partnership.
00:29:05Just kind of wish I could have helped you out
00:29:07the way that Ex did.
00:29:09Well, it doesn't matter.
00:29:10Once I get back Lawrence Corp,
00:29:12everything will be different.
00:29:14No matter what happens,
00:29:16I'm always going to be by your side.
00:29:18It's time.
00:29:39She's late.
00:29:40There's no way she closed the deal.
00:29:42Told you.
00:29:43Everest Capital doesn't work with nobody's.
00:29:45Given the circumstances,
00:29:50I'll be resuming my position as CEO.
00:29:54Who said I failed?
00:29:59Given the circumstances,
00:30:00I'll be resuming my position as CEO.
00:30:03Who said I failed?
00:30:06Per our agreement,
00:30:08I signed the deal with Everest Capital.
00:30:10Which means I run Lawrence Corp now.
00:30:12Where's your scar?
00:30:15Yeah, that was fake.
00:30:18No, this is impossible.
00:30:20You weren't even supposed to come back.
00:30:21You mean after your little setup?
00:30:23Sending Ralph after me?
00:30:25Cute.
00:30:26Really.
00:30:27Enough.
00:30:27Stop this nonsense.
00:30:29We have here an official statement
00:30:30from the CEO of Everest
00:30:31confirming that Ashley Lawrence
00:30:33instructed Ralph
00:30:34to harass her business partner,
00:30:35Vivian Lawrence.
00:30:36Everest Capital has entered in
00:30:37a permanent partnership
00:30:39with Lawrence Corp
00:30:40under Vivian's leadership.
00:30:41So, Mr. David Lawrence,
00:30:43Ashley Lawrence,
00:30:44you're both blacklisted.
00:30:46You're both officially removed
00:30:46from Lawrence Corp.
00:30:48Effective immediately.
00:30:49No, you're not going to get away with this.
00:30:51I'm your father.
00:30:52No, no, no.
00:30:52You can't do this to me.
00:30:55Watch me.
00:31:02What's all this for?
00:31:04Our wedding was rushed.
00:31:06So I figured it's time
00:31:07that my bride gets what she deserves.
00:31:11An exquisite choice.
00:31:13We had this be specifically restored
00:31:15to Mr. X's request.
00:31:18X?
00:31:18I 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.
00:31:26Here, try it on.
00:31:33It's beautiful.
00:31:35It suits you.
00:31:37This movie's gorgeous.
00:31:39It must have cost...
00:31:40Don't worry about it.
00:31:42You deserve the best.
00:31:43Aaron, 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.
00:32:01I'll be back.
00:32:01This isn't just a necklace, Mrs. Christopher.
00:32:17This is a symbol of eternal love.
00:32:20It must mean a lot to him.
00:32:21Absolutely.
00:32:23Mr. Christopher had this restored five years ago.
00:32:26Said it was meant for his future wife.
00:32:29Five years ago?
00:32:30This wasn't meant for me.
00:32:33It was for her.
00:32:35His first love.
00:32:40We found her.
00:32:41The woman who saved your life that night.
00:32:49Hey!
00:32:55Hey, stay with me.
00:32:57Vivian?
00:32:58It was you?
00:33:00I 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.
00:33:21This 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.
00:33:35We'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:33:37That really sounds like you're trying to get rid of me.
00:33:40I know you're trying to get rid of me.
00:33:41I know you've always had a first love.
00:33:43Maybe one day you'll go find her.
00:33:45I don't want to be standing in the way.
00:33:49Well, since we are still married for the time being,
00:33:52maybe there's something you can help me out with.
00:33:58Well, what did you have in mind?
00:33:59Do you like what you see?
00:34:20Do you like what you see?
00:34:22I guess the accident didn't stop you from staying in shape.
00:34:32Well, you're not so bad yourself.
00:34:33Maybe this isn't the best time.
00:35:01You should go before I forget how to behave myself.
00:35:03I forgot my jacket.
00:35:23Wait, 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.
00:35:44Mr. 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.
00:35:52But 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.
00:36:02If 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, I'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.
00:36:23Just lunch.
00:36:24I'm afraid we have really strict policies.
00:36:26You'll need to make an appointment.
00:36:27Back here.
00:36:37You.
00:36:44You.
00:36:47So, you're my new sister.
00:36:49You'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 not a man like Aaron.
00:37:03Keep your hands to yourself.
00:37:05Wow.
00:37:06Fiery.
00:37:08Stephen.
00:37:10Did I meet you at Everest Capital the other night?
00:37:12I don't know.
00:37:13You tell me.
00:37:15Are you X?
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.
00:37:27Oh, me.
00:37:28See, that's an interesting thought.
00:37:31Maybe we can discuss some 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.
00:37:49Touch 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.
00:37:58Yeah, maybe you're afraid to remind everyone you haven't done anything worthwhile since the accident.
00:38:09We'll be there.
00:38:10I look forward to seeing you again, Vivian.
00:38:25Steven, your brother, he kind of reminds me of X.
00:38:30X.
00:38:32X.
00:38:34Steven can barely put together a sentence, let 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 that I'm in this wheelchair.
00:38:49What?
00:38:55I've been trying for five years to track down the evidence.
00:38:59And soon, hopefully, I'll have everything that I need to show that it was him.
00:39:02I'm so sorry.
00:39:06You must hate him.
00:39:08I did.
00:39:11Yeah.
00:39:14Until you came along and...
00:39:16You showed me that there's more to life than just revenge.
00:39:21Well, I'll be by her side.
00:39:24No matter what.
00:39:24If only the past didn't exist.
00:39:33No 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 and my promises.
00:39:54So you're Vivian.
00:39:57As 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.
00:40:19Let's talk.
00:40:20Just the two of us.
00:40:24That necklace.
00:40:33Aaron must truly care about you to give you that.
00:40:35That belonged to his mother.
00:40:37One of the few things she left behind.
00:40:39Aaron's mother.
00:40:40I 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.
00:40:47Aaron mentioned that Stephen was responsible for his accident.
00:40:52Stephen hurt his own brother?
00:40:54That's absurd.
00:40:57Father, Nevian's chairman is expecting you.
00:41:01Vivian, we'll continue this another time.
00:41:11Vivian, wait.
00:41:13I just want to apologize.
00:41:14I don't want to hear it.
00:41:15Brother, your wife was so insatiable last night.
00:41:39I could barely keep up.
00:41:40Hello?
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?
00:42:07Stephen?
00:42:07What the hell?
00:42:23We.
00:42:23We did.
00:42:24Good morning, sweetheart.
00:42:28You couldn't keep your hands off me last night.
00:42:30Liar.
00:42:31I'd never.
00:42:32Really?
00:42:33Well, 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.
00:42:53Wow.
00:42:53You are feisty.
00:42:55Jesus.
00:42:56But 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.
00:43:10You lay a finger on her and you are dead.
00:43:12Jesus.
00:43:13I have to get her so violent, brother.
00:43:14Besides, I have these.
00:43:20Son 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.
00:43:50Do you look at that?
00:44:09And now Everest Capital is mine.
00:44:12See, signing over a billion dollar company to your brother for a woman?
00:44:17Now that's either real devotion or 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.
00:44:29Or I'll make sure we both burn.
00:44:32All right.
00:44:33Two months.
00:44:34Guess I don't have to worry about you going anywhere in that state.
00:44:36Aaron, after everything that happened with Stephen, how are we supposed to go back to normal?
00:44:54It's too much.
00:44:55Maybe we should end this.
00:45:01Evian, none of this was your fault.
00:45:03You've been through so much already.
00:45:06You deserve real happiness.
00:45:10Maybe even with that woman you've always loved.
00:45:15Don't worry, I'll still hold up my end of the deal.
00:45:18Do you remember the stormy night five years ago on Houston Road?
00:45:26The car accident?
00:45:35It was you.
00:45:43You have never been second.
00:45:50Never a replacement.
00:45:54My first love, Vivian.
00:45:58It's always been you.
00:46:05Always.
00:46:13I like it when you take charge, Mrs. Christopher.
00:46:28Stick to the plan.
00:46:30When I resign, nothing changes.
00:46:33I still run this show.
00:46:39And now for some breaking news.
00:46:41X, the mysterious CEO of Everest Capital, has officially resigned.
00:46:46The reason remains unclear.
00:46:48This is a disaster.
00:46:49We're about to close on the client deal.
00:46:51Who's going to be running the show now?
00:46:54Gentlemen.
00:46:55Let's not panic.
00:46:58Everest Capital is in great hands.
00:47:00Mine.
00:47:01I, Stephen Christopher, am your new CEO.
00:47:04And let me tell you, this company's future has got a whole lot brighter.
00:47:09I wouldn't get ahead of yourself, Stephen.
00:47:11I wouldn't get ahead of yourself, Stephen.
00:47:17I hate to interrupt your little coronation, but there's been a change in management.
00:47:22What the hell are you doing here?
00:47:23This is an executive...
00:47:25Before stepping down, Mr. X transferred his 70% company shares to me.
00:47:29And with my existing 30%, well, you do the math.
00:47:34That's right.
00:47:34I own this company now.
00:47:37No, no, no.
00:47:37This is a joke, right?
00:47:39And as my first order of business, please escort CEO Stephen out.
00:47:45No, no, no.
00:47:45You can't.
00:47:45I'm the CEO.
00:47:47You're not getting away with this.
00:47:51Let's get down to business.
00:47:52Great work.
00:47:56Now 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.
00:48:13Is everything okay at the office?
00:48:15Why?
00:48:15Are 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!
00:48:35I'm going to have to stick around for life.
00:48:40Vivian, what did you put in this?
00:48:46Oh my God.
00:48:47I swapped the sugar and the salt.
00:48:50Three minutes.
00:48:51I'll be right back.
00:48:52Don't move.
00:48:53Okay.
00:49:06Et voila.
00:49:11Mmm.
00:49:13Are you sure you don't want to quit the business and cook for me full time?
00:49:17Good news.
00:49:22Guess who just pitched to Stephen's biggest client?
00:49:33Trust me.
00:49:33Whether it's Christopher Group or Everest Capital, as long as I'm running things, our deal's locked in.
00:49:39Stephen, I have some good news for you.
00:49:44Unless you're resigning, I don't think I'm interested.
00:49:48Our biggest investor, Mr. Frank, just 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.
00:50:06Your next meeting is in 30 minutes.
00:50:23I'll get the presentation ready.
00:50:24Back-to-back meetings again.
00:50:30Why am I so exhausted all of a sudden?
00:50:34I'll take a quick nap.
00:50:40A proper house husband could never let his hard-working wife go hungry.
00:50:44I swear I would marry you all over again, just for this.
00:50:57Our deal with Everest Capital is a game-changer.
00:51:00If we execute the plan we're proposing, we will go far beyond what's been possible so far in this sector.
00:51:05Our margins and production rates are impossible for competitors to...
00:51:08No doubt under Vivian, our profits have skyrocketed.
00:51:11Yeah, but when's the last time that she slipped?
00:51:13Lately she looks like she's running on fumes.
00:51:15Can you loop us into your little conversation?
00:51:17Don't forget, I'm your CEO.
00:51:19I don't think I need proof.
00:51:21Prove that I have what it takes to...
00:51:25Prove that I have what it takes to...
00:51:27Go, go, go, go!
00:51:31Go, go, go, go!
00:51:33Good news.
00:51:37It's nothing critical.
00:51:39Just exhaustion.
00:51:40But also, there's something else.
00:51:41What is it?
00:51:42You're three months pregnant.
00:51:43Congratulations.
00:51:44I'm sorry.
00:51:45What?
00:51:46This can't be happening.
00:51:48This can't be happening.
00:51:50This can't be happening.
00:51:51We've triple checked the results.
00:51:53There's no mistake.
00:51:54You are definitely pregnant.
00:51:55Steven?
00:51:56Steven?
00:51:57This wasn't supposed to happen.
00:51:58You always have a choice.
00:51:59But, consider it a choice.
00:52:00But, consider it a choice.
00:52:01It's not a choice.
00:52:02It can't be happening.
00:52:03It can't be happening.
00:52:04This can't be happening.
00:52:05This can't be happening.
00:52:06This can't be happening.
00:52:07We've triple checked the results.
00:52:09There's no mistake.
00:52:11You are definitely pregnant.
00:52:13Steven?
00:52:15Steven?
00:52:16This wasn't supposed to happen.
00:52:22You always have a choice.
00:52:27But, considering your medical history, if you terminate, there's a high chance you may never conceive again.
00:52:36I need time to digest this.
00:52:40Excuse me.
00:53:00Hi, I'm Ashley Lawrence, Vivian's sister.
00:53:04She's been a little emotional lately, so she wanted me to check on her results for her.
00:53:09Family should look out for each other, am I right?
00:53:20You told me it was just an act?
00:53:22Why the hell is Vivian pregnant?
00:53:24Relax.
00:53:25I never touched her.
00:53:26Okay?
00:53:27That kid is not mine.
00:53:28Then whose is it?
00:53:29Her disabled husband?
00:53:30We both know that's not possible.
00:53:32Maybe Vivian isn't as innocent as she puts on.
00:53:36This could work out for us.
00:53:38Just picture the scandal for a sec.
00:53:40A wife caught between two brothers.
00:53:43How do you think Aaron will handle that?
00:53:47Aaron?
00:53:52I'm pregnant.
00:53:55Wait, seriously?
00:53:59That's great news.
00:54:03No.
00:54:04It's not.
00:54:05Because I don't know if it's yours.
00:54:07You think it might be Steven's?
00:54:10I don't know.
00:54:11I just...
00:54:12I can't be certain what happened that night.
00:54:17I can't keep it.
00:54:19I won't.
00:54:20Listen 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.
00:54:52Vivian?
00:54:53What are you doing?
00:54:55She's coming with me.
00:54:56We 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.
00:55:25You were just trying to get a rise out of Aaron.
00:55:28Nothing actually happened that night.
00:55:30Right?
00:55:31Of course something happened.
00:55:33Then why don't I remember anything?
00:55:36I don't know.
00:55:37Maybe you blacked out, but I 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 keeping this baby.
00:56:08You know that if you go through with this, you might never be able to have children again.
00:56:15But if there's even the slightest chance that it's Steven's, how do I live with that?
00:56:23How do you?
00:56:25This isn't about Steven.
00:56:33This child is yours.
00:56:35That's all I need to know.
00:56:38DNA doesn't define family.
00:56:40Love does.
00:56:41And Vivian...
00:56:43I love you.
00:56:57Steven's reaction to the pregnancy.
00:57:00Something doesn't feel right.
00:57:03You're just too confident.
00:57:05Too assured.
00:57:06Aaron, something doesn't add up.
00:57:16Something doesn't add up.
00:57:18Why?
00:57:19What's going on?
00:57:21The night Steven drugged me.
00:57:23It was barely two months ago.
00:57:25This baby is three months along.
00:57:27So you're saying that the baby was conceived before that night?
00:57:32It was before I met you.
00:57:34I was supposed to go on a blind date.
00:57:37Stayed at a hotel.
00:57:39Met this guy.
00:57:41It has to be from that night.
00:57:46Yeah, it's gotta be.
00:57:48It's not Steven's.
00:57:50Thank God it's not his.
00:57:52It's all happening.
00:58:00Steven's finished.
00:58:02We've notified his clients that the evidence against him has officially been filed in court.
00:58:10I can't believe that tomorrow I get to finally put all this behind me.
00:58:14Show what really happened the night of the accident.
00:58:18And it's all because of you.
00:58:19I sent William everything.
00:58:23My team recovered.
00:58:24It's all there.
00:58:26Make sure Steven never comes back from this.
00:58:30Oh, don't worry.
00:58:32He's finished.
00:58:39You should be more careful.
00:58:41Aaron's been sniffing around.
00:58:43I'm not even worried in the slightest.
00:58:45We're orchestrating Aaron's downfall together.
00:58:47If you continue to play your part, I'll make you my wife.
00:58:52You better keep your word.
00:58:54Don't even worry.
00:58:55By tomorrow, the old man will sign everything over to me.
00:58:59But once I'm running Christopher Group, you'll have everything I promise.
00:59:03Father, you shouldn't push yourself so hard.
00:59:04The doctor warned you.
00:59:05Stress isn't good for your heart.
00:59:06I don't want you to worry about me, son.
00:59:07I just want what's best for you.
00:59:08And for the company.
00:59:10I'm sure all of you are wondering what the big news is.
00:59:12I've decided it's time to embark on a new chapter in this company.
00:59:15I'm officially signing over Christopher Group to Steven.
00:59:16Any objections?
00:59:17A wife's choice, sir.
00:59:18Steven has done nothing but proven his loyalty.
00:59:19Thank you, Father.
00:59:20I know I have some big shepherds.
00:59:21I don't want you to worry about me, son.
00:59:22I just want what's best for you.
00:59:23Right.
00:59:24And for the company.
00:59:25I'm sure all of you are wondering what the big news is.
00:59:26I've decided it's time to embark on a new chapter in this company.
00:59:31I'm officially signing over Christopher Group to Steven.
00:59:36Any objections?
00:59:40A wife's choice, sir.
00:59:41Steven has done nothing but proven his loyalty.
00:59:43Thank you, Father.
00:59:44I know I have some big shoes to fill here.
00:59:47But I promise that I will try my best to carry this family's legacy.
00:59:55I object.
01:00:01There's the accident.
01:00:06There.
01:00:10Or should I say attempted murder?
01:00:12This is impossible.
01:00:13No, no, no.
01:00:14The camera on that road was...
01:00:15Sabotaged?
01:00:16Yeah.
01:00:17I know.
01:00:19Lucky for us, Lawrence Corp is world class in data recovery.
01:00:24Steven, tell me this isn't true.
01:00:29I had nothing.
01:00:31I had to crawl my way to the top while he was at it everything.
01:00:36I just wanted to be seen.
01:00:38Speaking of secrets, here's another big one.
01:00:42After the crash, I pulled away.
01:00:47I faked an injury.
01:00:50I just wanted this snake to think that he'd won.
01:00:55And in the meantime, I also built Everest Capital.
01:01:03Mysterious X?
01:01:06Me.
01:01:08Aaron, your patience and resilience.
01:01:12You were always meant to lead.
01:01:13You took the wrong path.
01:01:14I've always been supportive of you.
01:01:15But it's over.
01:01:16You are no longer part of this family.
01:01:18No, no, no.
01:01:19You can't do this to me.
01:01:20Actions have consequences.
01:01:21Now get out.
01:01:22You know what?
01:01:23You're gonna regret this!
01:01:24Get your hands off me!
01:01:25Get your hands off me!
01:01:26I'm sorry.
01:01:27No, no, no, no.
01:01:28You can't do this to me.
01:01:29Actions have consequences.
01:01:30Now get out.
01:01:31You're gonna regret this!
01:01:39You'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.
01:02:03You and me?
01:02:04We're cut from the same cloth.
01:02:06You, the bastard's son.
01:02:08And me, the stepdaughter nobody wanted.
01:02:12So why do we keep playing their game?
01:02:16When we could just rewrite the rules.
01:02:27Vivian.
01:02:30Vivian.
01:02:34Let me explain.
01:02:35What's there to explain?
01:02:36How you lied to me?
01:02:38How you made me look like a complete fool while I poured my heart out.
01:02:43No.
01:02:44No!
01:02:46My feelings for you were never a lie.
01:02:49I just, I had to make sure that my plan would work.
01:02:51I couldn't risk-
01:02:52And you didn't trust me to be part of it?
01:02:53There's no coming back from this.
01:02:58We're done, Erin.
01:03:00I want a divorce.
01:03:02We're done, Erin.
01:03:04I want a divorce.
01:03:21Damn Viv, you 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.
01:03:29Well, Daddy put my black card in timeout, so technically I'm broke.
01:03:33Yeah.
01:03:34But, now that you're a CEO, I 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.
01:03:48Thanks.
01:03:53So, you're really divorcing Erin?
01:03:56He lied to my face for months.
01:03:58What am I supposed to do?
01:03:59Uplaud his performance?
01:04:01Okay, but he did kind of do it to take down Steven.
01:04:04Erin Christopher has officially assumed leadership of Christopher Group,
01:04:08securing his place as the new CEO.
01:04:11Damn.
01:04:12Your man is really the whole package.
01:04:14Hey, if you're done with him, I'm happy to-
01:04:16Fair enough.
01:04:21Vivian, it's 7am. Are you possessed?
01:04:38Nope. Just focusing on me and getting on with my life.
01:04:42You sure you're not overdoing it?
01:04:43Especially with the baby.
01:04:51Still ghosting him?
01:04:52That makes what?
01:04:54300 texts?
01:04:56Damn, the guy's not giving up.
01:04:58I 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.
01:05:06God.
01:05:07By now, Erin would have dropped off my favorite lunch.
01:05:18No way.
01:05:20Could it be?
01:05:26Could it be?
01:05:28Hey, boss. The research team's ready for you, but someone thought you might skip lunch and brought you this.
01:05:34Let me guess.
01:05:35Erin?
01:05:37You two still at odds?
01:05:38It's been days.
01:05:40Who wants to fight with a liar?
01:05:42Buddy is a good cook.
01:05:43Let's go.
01:05:44This is our biggest tech breakthrough yet. It relies on the same algorithm that was used to recover the Everest Capital car accident footage.
01:05:58Hang on. Who was your contact at Everest for that project?
01:06:02Their executive assistant, William.
01:06:04William?
01:06:06William?
01:06:07Erin's right-hand man?
01:06:10Could Erin be ex?
01:06:17Tell me the truth.
01:06:19Erin is ex, isn't he?
01:06:25Yes, it's true.
01:06:26Look, you had to fake the injury. You think Steven would have stopped if you knew Erin was fine?
01:06:36And what about the lying? Was that a part of the grand strategy too?
01:06:40You think he wasn't trying to protect you too? That deal you made with Everest Capital, he made sure it went through. That's how you secured Lawrence Corp. He risked everything to back you.
01:06:49And that night with Ralph, he didn't care about blowing his cover. He just ran in to save you.
01:07:00I have a charity gala tonight. Do you want to be my plus one? After all, we are still married.
01:07:08Ma'am, your leadership skills are turning heads. A toast to your continued success.
01:07:19I appreciate the toast, really, but I'm a disaster with alcohol. Let's not ruin a perfectly good evening.
01:07:25Come on, just one drink. Consider it an investment.
01:07:29Appreciate the gesture, but my wife doesn't drink. I'm sure you understand.
01:07:32Funny. Word is she won't be your wife much longer. Perhaps when she's single, I'll have better luck.
01:07:40Nonsense. I haven't signed a damn thing. She's still mine.
01:07:45All I can say is the rumors might be true, and once it's official, I'll be throwing a fabulous singles party.
01:07:52You should come.
01:07:53Aaron, do you care to dance with us?
01:08:02Uh, what, um...
01:08:03Come on, just win the song.
01:08:06Ladies, if you'll excuse me, I have to get some air.
01:08:18Roku finally escaped his fan club.
01:08:20You know you shouldn't be drinking.
01:08:26Come on, let's take you home.
01:08:27Relax, it's just a ginger ale.
01:08:35You are such an asshole.
01:08:38Oh yeah?
01:08:40So what does that make you?
01:08:42Because this asshole is still so damn in love with you.
01:08:50What the hell am I doing?
01:09:04Vivian, why are you sneaking in like a teenager past curfew?
01:09:09Because 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...
01:09:20heated?
01:09:22Maybe I should see you shrink.
01:09:24Look, 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?
01:09:33Viv, I was at the hospital with my mom and you won't believe who I just saw.
01:09:49Who?
01:09:50William with Aaron heading into the ER.
01:09:52What?
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?
01:10:22Please, don't take him.
01:10:25Not like this.
01:10:28I love him.
01:10:29I still love him.
01:10:30I still love him.
01:10:32You need to tell him that.
01:10:34Just give me one more chance.
01:10:39It's more than enough to let the light in.
01:10:44The way you're making me feel, it's divine.
01:10:49It's enough to let it flow, let it be.
01:10:55Aaron?
01:10:57How?
01:10:58Weren't you just...
01:11:06Vivian?
01:11:08Aaron?
01:11:09How...
01:11:10Weren't you just...
01:11:12It wasn't me in the ER.
01:11:14It was my dad.
01:11:15Your dad?
01:11:16What happened?
01:11:17Heart attacks.
01:11:19Again.
01:11:20Aaron, I...
01:11:22Look.
01:11:23Lawrence Corp has some of the best cardiologists.
01:11:27If you need anything.
01:11:29Vivian...
01:11:33Please, just...
01:11:35Promise me you'll take care of yourself.
01:11:40You're...
01:11:41Holding something back.
01:11:42What is it?
01:11:44I think we need to talk.
01:11:47About the divorce.
01:11:48Really?
01:11:52Do you reconsider?
01:11:57Yeah, okay, um...
01:11:59Yeah.
01:12:00Here.
01:12:01Take my car.
01:12:02And...
01:12:04I'll meet you at home.
01:12:05And we can talk there.
01:12:06I just...
01:12:07I gotta get back to my dad.
01:12:08Okay.
01:12:09I'll, um...
01:12:10I'll see you there.
01:12:13Yeah.
01:12:14Ashley.
01:12:15What?
01:12:16Dad was in an accident?
01:12:17Is he okay?
01:12:18Where is he?
01:12:19I'll be right there.
01:12:21Dad?
01:12:22Dad!
01:12:33He's coming.
01:12:34Dad!
01:12:35I'll be here.
01:12:36Look at him.
01:12:40chairman.
01:12:41Thank goodness.
01:12:43Tom, who is burst from the Including Theater?
01:12:44In part 1 and out.
01:12:45Welcome.
01:12:46When...
01:12:47I-
01:12:48Dad?
01:12:49Dad?
01:12:51It's me.
01:12:53I'm here.
01:12:55Hmm.
01:12:57Something doesn't feel right.
01:12:59Maybe they already transferred him to the hospital?
01:13:07The procedure was very successful.
01:13:09Your father is stable,
01:13:11but you'll need 48 hours of close monitoring.
01:13:15I'll come back to check on him later,
01:13:17but I need to take care of something at home first.
01:13:29Vivian?
01:13:35Viv?
01:13:39Should I come home?
01:13:47Okay, Vivian.
01:13:49Stay calm.
01:13:51Think.
01:13:53Ashley called.
01:13:55Dad was in danger.
01:13:57I rushed home.
01:13:59I was there.
01:14:01Then blacked out.
01:14:03It was a setup.
01:14:05Ashley!
01:14:07Come out!
01:14:09I know it was you!
01:14:11Wow!
01:14:12It took you long enough.
01:14:13You really should've been smarter about this, sweetheart.
01:14:15You could've had everything.
01:14:17The money...
01:14:31The power...
01:14:33You really should've been smarter about this, sweetheart.
01:14:35You really should have been smarter about this, sweetheart.
01:14:38You could have had everything.
01:14:39The money, the power, me.
01:14:44But you just had to throw it all away from that pathetic liar.
01:14:48Go to hell.
01:14:52William, 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.
01:15:05We found her.
01:15:17Send me the info. Meet me there and bring backup.
01:15:31You 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?
01:15:43So you and Ashley were in on this together all along?
01:15:53Why? Why couldn't you just support me?
01:15:58Well, I spent years resenting your perfect mother. Nothing 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.
01:16:16Keep 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. It's not like you have much of a choice.
01:16:28I knew you'd be stubborn. So here's a little incentive.
01:16:38My darling Vivian.
01:16:40Mom?
01:16:41I wanted to give you one final message.
01:16:43This was your mom's final gift to you before she died.
01:16:46She recorded a special message and asked me to pass it along to you when the time was right.
01:16:52So it's your choice.
01:16:53Do you care to know your mother's last dying words?
01:16:56Or do you want to say goodbye to her forever?
01:17:01Last chance.
01:17:03Sign the contract.
01:17:05Come on, sis. Don't be stupid.
01:17:13Fine. I'll sign it.
01:17:31There. Now give me the drive.
01:17:34No!
01:17:37Look at you.
01:17:39Pathetic.
01:17:40All that crying over a worthless piece of plastic.
01:17:44Everything you had.
01:17:46Your company.
01:17:48Your life.
01:17:49It's mine now.
01:17:53Eric!
01:17:54Step away from my wife!
01:17:56Whoa, whoa. Just calm down now.
01:17:59Okay.
01:18:00Steven, what's he doing here?
01:18:01Do something!
01:18:03Gladly. Time 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. Aren't you gonna help your man?
01:18:23Ashley, Steven's hurt. Aren't you gonna help your man?
01:18:30Hang on, babe. I'm coming!
01:18:32Aaron, watch out!
01:18:33Look out!
01:18:51Are you okay?
01:18:54Look out!
01:19:03Not so tough now, huh?
01:19:05I just hit.
01:19:07It's over, Steven!
01:19:09You bitch!
01:19:11You will ruin everything!
01:19:13Say goodbye to your precious mommy!
01:19:15No!
01:19:17Say goodbye to your precious mommy!
01:19:20No!
01:19:28I got it.
01:19:31Steven!
01:19:32What are you waiting for?
01:19:33Put your hands in the air!
01:19:36You're under arrest for kidnapping!
01:19:38It's not my fault.
01:19:39They forced me.
01:19:41Officers!
01:19:42I think you should look into my mother's death.
01:19:46I don't think this is their first crime.
01:19:50Oh, God. We're finished.
01:19:58It's okay. Over.
01:19:59It's okay.
01:20:00It's okay.
01:20:01It's okay.
01:20:07Finally, you two.
01:20:09I'm glad I survived to see you again.
01:20:12But what's this nonsense I'm hearing about a divorce?
01:20:15Um, it's, uh, it's complicated.
01:20:19Complicated?
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.
01:20:27Vivian, if my son has done something stupid, you let me know.
01:20:32I will straighten him out myself.
01:20:33But please, reconsider this divorce.
01:20:40He did lie to me, Mr. Christopher.
01:20:44But unfortunately, I'm still hopelessly in love with him.
01:20:49Vivian.
01:20:50Just give me some time.
01:20:52I need to think through everything.
01:20:53I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:20:55I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:20:59I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:21:00I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:21:01I'll give you an answer by tomorrow.
01:21:13I'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.
01:21:31My God.
01:21:33After all these years, I felt guilty.
01:21:35Favored him.
01:21:37Protected him.
01:21:38And this is how he repays me?
01:21:40Hey, no, it's okay.
01:21:41It's done now.
01:21:42You just rest.
01:21:44I'll handle everything, okay?
01:21:48Got this, Dad.
01:21:55Aaron.
01:22:00You lied to me.
01:22:04Then you also came to help me and save my mom's memories.
01:22:10What am I supposed to do now?
01:22:19Vivian.
01:22:20Sweetheart.
01:22:23Wherever life takes you, I just want you to be happy.
01:22:27And remember that true love is always worth fighting for.
01:22:35I wish you were here, Mom.
01:22:38I don't know what to do.
01:22:50Vivian.
01:23:04Vivian 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?
01:23:21Vivian.
01:23:24I screwed up.
01:23:26I know.
01:23:31But I...
01:23:33I can't lose you.
01:23:34Not again.
01:23:38Because...
01:23:40Because I love you.
01:23:42Just give me one chance to start over.
01:23:48Aaron?
01:23:51How long have you been here?
01:23:53I'm glad you're awake.
01:23:55Everything looks good.
01:23:57Your little one is quite the fighter.
01:24:00Definitely inherited Dad's strength.
01:24:05Wait, how do you know who the...
01:24:07Do you remember that night?
01:24:09Before the blind date?
01:24:11You left a note complimenting my, um, exceptional performance.
01:24:17That was you?
01:24:19Vivian, this is our baby.
01:24:23Now we really can be together.
01:24:25I can't believe it.
01:24:27Our story started long before we even knew it.
01:24:36Vivian 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.
01:24:58Yes?
01:24:59Wait.
01:25:00I don't know.
01:25:01I don't know.
01:25:03I'm sorry.
01:25:05No?
01:25:06No.
01:25:07No.
01:25:08I don't know.
01:25:09No.
01:25:11No.
01:25:12No.
01:25:13No.
01:25:15I don't know.
01:25:16You creep.
01:25:17That's a good point.
01:25:18I haven't found it.
01:25:20Sorry?
01:25:23I've been there, but it's not the wholeest...
01:25:24You
