22:07immediately destroying any credibility she may have built for herself
22:11you
22:14you saved me
22:16told you i would
22:17you're free
22:19you're welcome
22:20oh my gosh
22:25you
22:38you
22:40What the hell is this?
22:56What do you mean? Erica cheated on me.
22:59William, you understand the only way to fix your image and keep this role is for you to settle down.
23:05You said you were picking out rings.
23:06Yes, mother. That's because Erica was blackmailing me.
23:11Do you really want me to marry someone who would do that? If it wasn't for Lily.
23:15What? Lily did this?
23:18No. Mom, no.
23:27Oof, yeah. I'd be pissed too if my blackmailing slut got arrested and lost all credibility to ruin my brother's life.
23:34Fuck you.
23:36What is wrong with you? All I ever did was protect you.
23:39I don't need your protection.
23:41You have to stop this.
23:45Make me.
23:47You want to hit me? Is that it?
23:50Be the man you can never be. The man you never will be.
23:57You're a brother of mine.
23:59We need to talk, Miss Wilson.
24:05You were supposed to keep my son's personal life private.
24:08I warned him about Erica.
24:10Then you should have come to me.
24:11I would have found a way to kill the article.
24:13Kill the article?
24:15Erica cheated on him. He deserves better.
24:18This will ruin his chances of staying CEO.
24:20It was Christopher.
24:23What? Christopher was the one who introduced Erica to William at the company gala.
24:28Christopher.
24:30That little scheming snake.
24:32Thank you for telling me.
24:33But you're finished meddling with my family.
24:35Your only job is to keep him from falling back into his old patterns.
24:39Is that clear?
24:40I don't deserve you.
24:51One second. I'm sorry. I have to get this.
24:59Hello?
25:01She what?
25:04How did she...
25:06Was she...
25:07What is it?
25:09She did it.
25:11Erica somehow got someone else to publish her article against me.
25:14Everyone knows everything.
25:18Mr. Russell?
25:20No, Mr. Russell. I assure you.
25:21This is a smear campaign from an angry ex.
25:23It's all lies.
25:25No, but the numbers speak for themselves.
25:28No, please just let me explain.
25:31Hey.
25:33What's happening?
25:34Russell's pulling out.
25:35The whole deal is about to collapse.
25:38I'm about to lose everything.
25:39Everything I've ever worked for.
25:41No, you're not.
25:43Everything's gonna be okay.
25:45Okay?
25:46Trust me.
25:48We got this.
25:51I know.
25:53Russell's withdrawal is just the beginning.
25:55The other investors are getting spooked.
25:57If I don't take care of this now, the whole company could go under.
26:00Let's assess the damage.
26:02What's our biggest weakness right now?
26:04The narrative.
26:05And everyone's buying it.
26:06I need to change the perception.
26:08And fast.
26:09We need a counter strategy.
26:13We need to speak, William.
26:16You.
26:17Get out.
26:20This article?
26:21It's a disaster.
26:22Dad, I'm trying to fix it.
26:23It's not just about bad press, William.
26:26It's about your judgement.
26:27Your priorities.
26:29You've lost your focus.
26:30Dad, I can explain.
26:31I don't need explanations.
26:32I need results.
26:34Now, you have one week to salvage this deal and regain the trust of the investors.
26:41Because if you fail, you're out.
26:45For good.
26:46William?
26:47He's right, you know.
26:48I messed up.
26:49Everybody makes mistakes.
26:50I believe in you.
26:52I'm going to address this head on.
26:54I'm holding a press conference.
26:55Mr. Hayes.
26:56Are you sure that's wise?
26:57The public perception.
26:58We're going to straighten this out.
26:59I'm doing this.
27:00I want to address the most recent article published about my personal life.
27:01While I acknowledge that some of my actions in the past are regrettable, the betrayal of
27:02me as a heartless playboy is deliberately unrighteous.
27:03I believe in you.
27:04I'm going to address this head on.
27:05I'm holding a press conference.
27:06Mr. Hayes.
27:07Are you sure that's wise?
27:08The public perception.
27:09We're going to straighten this out.
27:10I'm doing this.
27:11I want to address the most recent article published about my personal life.
27:13While I acknowledge that some of my actions in the past are regrettable, the portrayal
27:26of me as a heartless playboy is deliberately misleading and factually inaccurate.
27:32Are you denying these allegations, Mr. Hayes?
27:35I'm not denying that I've made mistakes.
27:37But my mistakes do not define me and they do not define Hayes Group.
27:40I'm here today to prove that I am dedicated and committed to this company.
27:44And most importantly, I want to introduce you to the woman who stood by me through this
27:49difficult time.
27:50My fiancee, Lily Wilson.
27:52This is a PR stunt.
27:54This is not a stunt.
27:56This is my life.
27:57And I'm choosing to share it with the world.
28:00Thank you, Lily.
28:01For everything.
28:03What are we doing?
28:05This could benefit both of us.
28:07You already helped me salvage the company.
28:10And this arrangement will solidify your position and protect you from any fallout.
28:15Arrangement?
28:17You're proposing a fake engagement?
28:19Well...
28:20William, I don't want to use you to protect me.
28:23I'm not Erica at all.
28:25And I know we haven't talked about us, but I've been wanting to...
28:27Eddie.
28:30I already told you I don't deserve you.
28:32Stop.
28:33But I want to earn it.
28:35Think of this as a placeholder for maybe the future.
28:38And then we can get out of here and go far, far away.
28:41Fine.
28:42I'll do it.
28:43But on one condition.
28:44Anything you want.
28:45Not a word of this to anyone.
28:46If we want it to be convincing enough.
28:47Deal.
28:48This is unacceptable.
28:49And a little skimming bitch.
28:50I need to teach her a lesson.
28:51Find out everything you can on Lily Wilson.
28:52Everything you want.
28:53Anything you want.
28:54Not a word of this to anyone.
28:55If we want it to be convincing enough.
28:56Deal.
28:57This is unacceptable.
28:58And a little skimming bitch.
28:59I need to teach her a lesson.
29:01Find out everything you can on Lily Wilson.
29:03Everything.
29:04I want you to know her secrets.
29:05Her weaknesses.
29:06Her past.
29:08And a little skimming bitch.
29:10I need to teach her a lesson.
29:13Find out everything you can on Lily Wilson.
29:17Everything.
29:18I want to know her secrets.
29:19Her weaknesses.
29:20Her past.
29:23I'll teach you a lesson on playing games, Miss Wilson.
29:26There's one thing I know about William.
29:28You can never say no to a good time.
29:30You can never say no to a good time.
29:32You know, you're not at all that I expected.
29:42Oh?
29:43And what were you expecting?
29:45A cold, ruthless businessman.
29:49A heartless playboy.
29:52And what did you get?
29:53A man who's been hurt.
29:55A man who's afraid to open up.
30:00Hey.
30:01Hey, tell me.
30:07There was never any room for vulnerability.
30:12It was always about proving myself and getting my father's approval, which of course never came.
30:20I thought if I surrounded myself with enough people, enough distractions, I would forget about the loneliness.
30:27You're not alone, William.
30:28You will never be alone, ever again.
30:31Oh, hey.
30:42You're still here?
30:43No.
30:44I'm leaving.
30:45There's a big after-premier party happening at Old Smith's Bar.
30:47Old Smith's.
30:49That's my favorite bar.
30:50Oh, yeah.
30:51It is.
30:52Well, I'll see you.
30:53I'm going to be late.
30:53Apparently there's an open bar and hot models, and I definitely can't miss that.
30:57Hey, wait up.
30:58What?
30:59What?
31:00I thought you were too good for these type of things now.
31:04Uh-oh.
31:05Your old lady's calling you.
31:07You should probably get that.
31:08I'm going.
31:12You're driving.
31:14Whatever.
31:15Fine.
31:16He's playing right into my hand.
31:21Oh, my God.
31:23That is good.
31:23I'm going to grab one more.
31:24One more.
31:25Another one.
31:26Another round.
31:26Another round.
31:27Another round.
31:28Another round.
31:28Cheers, cheers, cheers.
31:34I don't know.
31:36I.
31:37Whoa.
31:38Ooh.
31:40Hmm.
31:41I think William.
31:43Lily.
31:44Hey, it's Christopher.
31:45Sorry.
31:45I know it's late, but I think you need to come get William.
31:47He's gone too far.
31:49Okay.
31:50See you.
31:51Bye.
31:51Bye.
31:51Bye.
31:51Bye.
31:51Bye.
31:51Bye.
31:51Bye.
31:51Bye.
31:51Bye.
31:52Bye.
31:52Bye.
31:52Bye.
31:52Bye.
31:52Bye.
31:52Bye.
31:52Bye.
31:53Bye.
31:53Bye.
31:53Bye.
31:54Bye.
31:54Bye.
31:55Bye.
31:55Bye.
31:56Bye.
31:57Bye.
31:58Bye.
31:58Hey, I'm so sorry.
32:00I know it's late.
32:00I just thought you'd be the best to call.
32:01I know he's been trying to be different.
32:03Where is he?
32:09Wait.
32:10Wait.
32:11You're really hot, but now I can't.
32:15No.
32:18It's not what your brother said.
32:22But Chris?
32:25William.
32:26Look, it's not what it looks like.
32:28How could you?
32:29How could you?
32:29Let me explain.
32:30Don't bother.
32:32I've seen enough.
32:34I really, I really thought that you had changed.
32:37It's not what it looks like.
32:39Oh, really?
32:39Because it looks like you were getting lip service from a dirty skank in a bar.
32:43It was a moment of weakness.
32:44Christopher!
32:45You can't blame Christopher for everything wrong in your life.
32:47In the charade.
32:49If you stay at this company, you will keep falling into Christopher's trap.
32:53But the company?
32:54The company will survive, but our relationship won't if you don't make a choice.
33:02It's me with them.
33:07Your choice.
33:08I choose you.
33:11I don't want it.
33:13I don't.
33:14I want you.
33:15I want a real relationship with you.
33:18Let's make it feel.
33:19That bitch is ruining my plans!
33:29This can't be happening!
33:32If William wins back our father's favor, I'll be left with nothing!
33:39But I do still have a few cards to play.
33:42I just need to go and find them.
33:43Let's make it feel.
33:49You think it's real?
33:50Or just for the cameras?
33:52Don't let them get to you.
33:54I'm not.
33:57Darling, you look positively smitten.
33:59Tell me, how long do you think this little charade will last?
34:02Erica, you're out.
34:04I didn't know they let criminals in here.
34:07He'll tire of you soon enough.
34:08He always does.
34:10I'm not worried.
34:11Well, you should be.
34:13He's just using you, just like he used me, just like all of the others.
34:17You can deny all you want, but I know the truth.
34:20I know all about this little engagement stunt.
34:23Tell me, has he... slipped up?
34:26That's enough, Erica.
34:27Fine.
34:29Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you.
34:31I'm coming for you both.
34:33And I will not rest until I expose both of you.
34:39Cheers.
34:40Are you okay?
34:42I'm fine.
34:44I'm just tired of the games.
34:46Me too.
34:49I'm tired of the whispers, the doubts, the rumors.
34:54Everyone to know.
35:00Can I have everyone's attention?
35:03We are aware of the rumors and we want to set the record straight.
35:06This relationship is real.
35:08This is not a publicity stunt.
35:10This is not a business arrangement.
35:12It's love.
35:15We face challenges.
35:16We face scrutiny.
35:17But our feelings for each other have only grown stronger.
35:21There's nothing I wouldn't do for her and nothing she wouldn't do for me.
35:25I've never done anything like that before.
35:34Me neither.
35:35I meant it, you know.
35:36I meant it, you know.
35:37Every word.
35:38I know.
35:44Love you, Lily.
35:45I love you, Lillian.
35:46I never thought I could be this happy.
35:54Boardroom?
35:54I know we can use a change of scenery.
35:57I like it.
36:01Ready for another productive day, Mr. Hayes?
36:03Only if it involves a few distractions.
36:09I'm hoping for a lot of distractions.
36:29Mom!
36:29Shit!
36:30William, why is the boardroom locked?
36:34I need to speak with you.
36:35Just a minute!
36:38Son, this is urgent!
36:41William!
36:44Mrs. Hayes, how are you?
36:46Lift!
36:48Out!
36:49Now!
36:54I'll deal with you later.
36:57How dare you!
36:58Mrs. Hayes, it was never my intention.
37:00I told you to keep my son's personal life under the radar when I hired you.
37:04And to cover for his mistresses.
37:06I didn't ask you to become one of them.
37:08I know, but I...
37:09You are nothing but a scheming, ladder-climbing mistress manager.
37:14I'll deal with you when the time's right.
37:17The plan?
37:23Kinky, but okay.
37:24You'll never guess what I just found out.
37:26Something that will really shake things up.
37:28William and Lily may have won the battle, but they will not win the war.
37:33Tell me more.
37:37What an unpleasant surprise.
37:38Still playing the role of devoted fiancé, I see.
37:43It's not an act, Erika.
37:45You won't win, Lily.
37:45I'll make sure he sees you for the fraud you really are.
37:50I have nothing to hide.
37:52We'll see about that.
37:53You look like you're about to explode.
38:02I'm not the one who's steaming.
38:05It's just, after the other day with your mother.
38:08Yeah.
38:09She's not exactly known for her warm welcomes.
38:11It's so embarrassing.
38:15Hey.
38:16It's just you and me.
38:19And honestly, this is easier.
38:22At least they already know, right together.
38:27Byron, you want to put some clothes on now?
38:30Yeah.
38:39Ah, William, Lily, you made it.
38:44Darling, I've missed you.
38:47You look lovely.
38:49Dressed.
38:50Look who it is.
38:51Welcome to the family, Miss Wilson.
38:54Shall we?
39:00You know, love can be fleeting.
39:04A passing fancy.
39:05Especially when you barely know someone.
39:08Or even their past.
39:10Or what they're hiding.
39:12Am I right, Lily?
39:14I'm not the one lurking over William's position
39:16or scheming to ruin his reputation.
39:18Enough!
39:20Know your place, Miss Wilson.
39:21Apologize to her right now!
39:23How dare you speak to me that way!
39:25No, I've built this empire!
39:27I've sacrificed everything for you!
39:29You sacrificed us!
39:31You sacrificed our happiness for your ambition!
39:33And I will not let you throw it away on this girl!
39:36Her name is Lily.
39:38I love her.
39:40Love, you don't even know her.
39:42I know more about love than you.
39:44You ungrateful little girl!
39:46William, please!
39:47Oh, let them fight.
39:49It's quite entertaining.
39:51I'm not you, Dad.
39:53I won't make the same mistakes.
39:59William, what brings you here?
40:03We need to talk.
40:04About what?
40:05Your latest romantic escapade?
40:07No.
40:08I was so angry, Dad.
40:11Angry at you.
40:12Angry at the world.
40:14I thought if I could fill my time with enough distractions,
40:19I'd be able to cover that void that I felt.
40:24I know, son.
40:25I know.
40:25When I was a kid, I watched how much more affection you gave Christopher,
40:29while you were cold and heartless towards me.
40:34I needed that connection.
40:35I needed your love.
40:37Look, I thought if I treated you that way, you'd be tough enough to take over the family
40:43business one day and rule with an iron fist.
40:50I am so sorry, William.
40:53I love Lily, Dad.
40:55She is the one who filled that void.
40:58I know she did.
41:00I'm proud of you, son.
41:09I want to raise a glass to Lily Wilson, a rising star in this company.
41:13Her determination, her intelligence, and her drive make her a valuable asset.
41:18And the most important woman in my life.
41:22Congratulations.
41:23You really did it.
41:25Thanks.
41:27I would have thought, from managing mistresses to making deals worth millions.
41:33What did you say?
41:34I know your little secret, and soon I will be the only one.
41:39Good evening, mistress manager.
41:41What's on your mind?
41:47You seem distant.
41:49William, there's something I need to tell you about how we met.
41:54What do you mean, Lily?
41:56Remember when I first started working at Hayes Group as your assistant?
42:00Yeah.
42:01You were incredible.
42:02Your mother...
42:03Your mothers would have hired me?
42:06My mother, I don't understand.
42:12She was worried about your reputation, your company, your father taking everything away from you.
42:18And you were seeing multiple women, and she just wanted me to manage it.
42:22I...
42:23Manage it?
42:24What does that even mean?
42:27To keep them from causing any trouble, I...
42:29I...
42:29You were spying on me?
42:31And my mistresses?
42:32No, no, no, but...
42:33I mean, yesterday, I started to fall for you, and I didn't mean for it to happen.
42:39I'm so sorry.
42:40How could I believe anything that you say?
42:43Please, William, please.
42:46I need some time to think.
42:52How could she do this to me?
42:54Please, William, it wasn't like that.
42:56I...
42:57I care about you, William.
42:58You care about me?
43:01You were spying on me.
43:03For my mother.
43:04No, no, it wasn't like that.
43:06You're no better than Erica.
43:07Please, William.
43:10Don't do this.
43:11What about our life together, William?
43:13What about us?
43:14I...
43:15How can I trust anything that you say or do?
43:18I'm not lying to you now.
43:21Please.
43:23Don't do this.
43:24It's over, Lily.
43:30I needed to prove to myself, and to William, that I could succeed on my own terms.
43:35Lily, could you come in the conference room a minute and meet our new partner?
43:41Of course.
43:44Mr. Hayes, allow me to introduce Miss Wilson.
43:49She is the person who built this company.
43:51Excuse me.
43:52Excuse me.
43:52I...
43:58Lily.
44:04I was a fool.
44:05A blind, arrogant fool.
44:07What are you talking about?
44:10I chose ambition over love.
44:13I chose my career over you.
44:15William, I...
44:17I was so focused on proving myself.
44:19A betrayal with my brother.
44:21And when you told me how my mom hires you, I didn't see what was right in front of me.
44:26You were hurt.
44:27I understand.
44:29I wasn't hurt.
44:30I was scared.
44:31Scared of vulnerability.
44:33Scared of falling in love with somebody who will betray me.
44:36You never have.
44:37I see that now.
44:39I know.
44:41I forgive you if you forgive me too.
44:46I forgive you, my love.
44:47Can we have a fresh start?
44:48No more lies.
44:52No more secrets.
44:54No more lies.
44:55No more secrets.
44:59Va, please.
45:02Happiness is a fleeting thing.
45:04Responsibility.
45:06Legacy.
45:07These are the things that truly matter.
45:10You've changed, William.
45:12I have.
45:14Lily has shown me that there's more to life than ambition.
45:16And she's filled the emptiness I never knew I had.
45:19And it's all thanks to her.
45:21Perhaps.
45:22Perhaps I was wrong.
45:24I owe you an apology, Lily.
45:26I was wrong about you.
45:28I was blinded by my own prejudices.
45:30My own fears.
45:32I didn't see you as the woman who captivated my son.
45:36He has a good heart.
45:38He does.
45:41And you've made it even better.
45:44Lily, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I want you to know that I'm happy for you and William.
45:51Thank you, Mr. Hayes.
45:53William, I think it's time, son.
45:56Lily, I wanted to do this differently, but something's telling me this is right.
46:01When I first met you, I never imagined that I would fall in love with somebody who is strong,
46:05intelligent, and beautiful.
46:07You make me a better man.
46:08Who are you?
46:09Lily Wilson.
46:11Will you do me the honor of being my wife?
46:15Yes! Oh my god, a thousand times yes!
46:23By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
46:30You may kiss the bride.
46:39This is the happiest day of my life.
46:41Mine too, William.
46:43Yeah?
46:44I have to tell you something.
46:47I gotta have a baby.
46:50A baby?
46:51A baby?
46:51Can I have a baby?
47:00I love you too, Lily.
