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 not 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.
00:01:40If you think I want this marriage, please.
00:01:43But 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.
00:02:05Excuse me.
00:02:06What are you doing in my room?
00:02:07Whoa.
00:02:08Abs?
00:02:09Test on an answer.
00:02:10Sorry.
00:02:11Are you okay?
00:02:12Someone's trying to get me.
00:02:13Get out.
00:02:14I said get out!
00:02:15I said get out!
00:02:17Hey.
00:02:18Hey.
00:02:19Hey.
00:02:20Hey.
00:02:21Hey.
00:02:22Well, abs?
00:02:24That's not an answer.
00:02:27Sorry, I, um...
00:02:29Are you okay?
00:02:30Someone's trying to get me, um...
00:02:35Get out.
00:02:36I said get out!
00:02:46You okay?
00:02:47Mm-hmm.
00:02:52Wait...
00:02:58Do you know who I am?
00:03:00I'm a really, really hot guy.
00:03:22Vivian, 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.
00:03:55Did 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.
00:04:02Let's pretend this never happened. No hard feelings. Last night was magnificent.
00:04:18Yeah.
00:04:24Yeah, I remember the arranged date. I'll be there to check it out.
00:04:30I'll be there to check it out.
00:04:46Thanks for stopping by.
00:04:48But your services won't be needed.
00:04:51I've already found my husband.
00:04:53Is 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.
00:05:14After all, with your impairment...
00:05:21Her 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.
00:05:31How much of your trust fund did you gamble away this time?
00:05:34You know, I've been meaning to call your mother and check in.
00:05:39Say hi.
00:05:40My apologies for the misunderstanding.
00:05:47It's nice meeting you.
00:05:55There's no way.
00:05:57I remember...
00:05:59Last night...
00:06:02This can't be the same person.
00:06:06Lucia's like her.
00:06:07But that scar...
00:06:13We never had a chance to get properly introduced.
00:06:19Aaron Christopher.
00:06:21Vivian, your future wife.
00:06:25I'm sorry, is that a real proposition?
00:06:27More like...
00:06:28Destiny.
00:06:29Don't you think?
00:06:32Terms?
00:06:34Contract marriage.
00:06:35One year?
00:06:36You...
00:06:37Help me get back my mother's inheritance.
00:06:42Done.
00:06:44But I also have a condition we'll need to discuss.
00:06:52Morning, Dad.
00:06:54You look happy to see me.
00:06:56No one has time for your little games, Vivian.
00:06:58Vivian...
00:07:00Leo just called.
00:07:02Needless to say, he was...
00:07:04Not impressed.
00:07:06To be honest, he said you were...
00:07:08Ugly...
00:07:09And uncultured.
00:07:11Can't blame him.
00:07:12If I were a guy with his pedigree, I wouldn't be caught dead with you.
00:07:16I was really hoping this one would work out.
00:07:18Well...
00:07:20I guess...
00:07:21No husband.
00:07:23No inheritance.
00:07:25And now that you're done embarrassing the family name...
00:07:29Be useful for once, Vivian.
00:07:31Please leave this house.
00:07:33This is my mother's house.
00:07:35If anyone's gonna get the hell out, it's you!
00:07:38Bunch of freeloading parasites.
00:07:40Daddy, she's lost it!
00:07:44Vivian!
00:07:45Are 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.
00:08:08That makes me the boss here.
00:08:10No.
00:08:11That 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.
00:08:31Wow.
00:08:32Congratulations, 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 was really trying to bury this.
00:08:59Once 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.
00:09:15But 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.
00:09:33Guess who just took over as their new CEO?
00:09:35For my mother's will, I'm officially stepping in as CEO of Lawrence Corp.
00:09:47This 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,
00:09:59not exactly bring you much to the table.
00:10:02Do you want this company to become a total laughing stock?
00:10:06Vivian, 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.
00:10:24We're just wasting time.
00:10:25Consider it done.
00:10:27Vivian, sweetie.
00:10:29Everest Capital is run by the most powerful man in the world.
00:10:32X.
00:10:34The guy's practically a ghost.
00:10:36What makes you think you have a shot at getting in a room with him?
00:10:38I guess we'll find out.
00:10:40Vivian, please.
00:10:42Yeah, Vivian.
00:10:43What's your big plan?
00:10:45Love it.
00:10:47What makes you think you have a shot at getting in a room with him?
00:10:50I guess we'll find out.
00:10:52Vivian, please.
00:10:53Yeah, Vivian.
00:10:54What's her big plan?
00:10:55Lurman to bed and pegging for a contract?
00:10:57Oh, please.
00:10:58Like she'd even hesitate.
00:10:59She's probably dreaming about it already.
00:11:02Poor girl needs the attention.
00:11:08Hey, babe.
00:11:09Thought you might need a lift.
00:11:17Hey, babe.
00:11:18Thought you might need a lift.
00:11:19Didn't you know?
00:11:20She's already married.
00:11:21Her poor husband clearly isn't enough.
00:11:22Now she's playing you.
00:11:23Hmm.
00:11:24Well, in that case, I guess I don't mind being played.
00:11:25Ugh.
00:11:26You entitled bitch.
00:11:27Who do you think you are?
00:11:28I'm the bitch?
00:11:29Look at the way you just threw yourself at my husband.
00:11:30How embarrassing.
00:11:31Your husband?
00:11:32Right.
00:11:33I forgot to introduce myself.
00:11:34Aaron Christopher.
00:11:35Wow.
00:11:37Wow.
00:11:38Entitled bitch? Who do you think you are?
00:11:40I'm the bitch?
00:11:42Look at the way you just threw yourself at my husband.
00:11:44How embarrassing.
00:11:46Your husband?
00:11:48Right.
00:11:49I forgot to introduce myself.
00:11:51Aaron Christopher.
00:12:04Wow.
00:12:05This is nicer than I expected from the least favored son in the Christopher family.
00:12:11Well, it suits me well enough.
00:12:13It's easy to get around.
00:12:15There's an elevator to the second floor.
00:12:18And, lucky for you, this will be your home too for the next year.
00:12:22Contractually speaking.
00:12:35Medium rare.
00:12:50Just the way you like it.
00:12:52Please tell me you didn't hire a private chef just to impress me.
00:12:57Oh, trust me.
00:12:57Cooking is just the beginning.
00:12:59Life with me?
00:13:01It's pretty good.
00:13:02To you.
00:13:08My wife.
00:13:10To business partnerships.
00:13:19So, what was that one condition you mentioned?
00:13:23Don't worry.
00:13:25When the time is right, you'll know.
00:13:27Aaron?
00:13:35Can I come in?
00:13:50I thought you'd be in bed.
00:14:05You must be tired after such a crazy day.
00:14:11I was thinking bathing must be tricky for you.
00:14:15As your wife, I thought maybe I could help.
00:14:21Uh, I appreciate that.
00:14:23But thanks.
00:14:24I got it.
00:14:24Maybe I could help you get on dress?
00:14:47Um, I know that we're married now, but this is a little fast, isn't it?
00:15:02Why don't you let me?
00:15:05Vivian, you, your scar.
00:15:30Vivian, you, your scar.
00:15:40I'm sorry.
00:15:44So this is the real you?
00:15:48That night.
00:15:51It was you.
00:15:52I wasn't trying to fool you.
00:15:56The scar's been sort of a protection for me ever since my mom died.
00:16:03Since 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.
00:16:14I was no longer a threat to them.
00:16:17I'm sorry.
00:16:18You don't have to explain.
00:16:21I get it.
00:16:27Where are you going?
00:16:30Like 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.
00:16:44Aaron.
00:16:57Aaron.
00:17:01Who the hell gave you permission to get married?
00:17:10Who the hell gave you permission to get married?
00:17:14It's my marriage.
00:17:15It's my life.
00:17:16I don't need your approval.
00:17:17Ever since that accident, you've changed.
00:17:22You're...
00:17:23Go on.
00:17:24Say it.
00:17:26You know what, Dad?
00:17:27Even if I never walk again, even if I never meet your expectations, at least I know what
00:17:33I'm worth.
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.
00:17:47He is a good man, and a good brother to you.
00:17:48He has turned the whole family against me.
00:17:50That's enough about your brother.
00:17:53Fine.
00:17:54This marriage is a done deal.
00:17:56At least promise me you'll treat your wife well.
00:17:59Spoil her.
00:17:59Take her out on a proper date.
00:18:03I always wished I was a better husband to your mother.
00:18:07Don't mess this up.
00:18:08You wanted to see me, boss?
00:18:18William, uh, I need your advice.
00:18:21You go on a lot of dates, right?
00:18:23You want my advice?
00:18:25Of course.
00:18:26Happy to help.
00:18:27Great.
00:18:27Um, how do you plan a really memorable date?
00:18:32Who's the lucky lady?
00:18:32My wife.
00:18:34Who else would it be?
00:18:35We could do worse.
00:18:37I-kidding.
00:18:37I got you, boss.
00:18:39Don't worry.
00:18:40Okay.
00:18:42Where do we start?
00:18:43Okay, Mr. Mysterious.
00:18:48What's the big surprise?
00:18:51Okay, Mr. Mysterious.
00:18:53What's the big surprise?
00:18:56I swear, if this is some sort of prank...
00:18:59Be patient.
00:19:01Okay, you can take off your blindfold now.
00:19:03Okay.
00:19:13Do you really think a perfect romantic evening will win me over?
00:19:20Because it might.
00:19:23I just want to prove to you that I am the most romantic contract husband you will ever have.
00:19:29You know this isn't necessary, right?
00:19:32I was just kidding about the private chef.
00:19:35As long as we're married, I'm going to treat you right.
00:19:38Mm-hmm.
00:19:39Well, 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.
00:20:01You're everything that I crave in this life.
00:20:25You know, you'll make a great husband someday.
00:20:36I already am a great husband.
00:20:38Well, you're certainly full of surprises.
00:20:42What are you doing?
00:20:45These shoes are torture.
00:20:47Shouldn't wear those.
00:20:48Here.
00:20:50A gift.
00:20:53I want you to feel like you can always be comfortable around me.
00:20:59You know my size?
00:21:02I know everything about you.
00:21:12For everything.
00:21:14That's all for you.
00:21:18That's all for you.
00:21:48I just thought I'd give you a break.
00:21:50I don't have to worry about me.
00:21:51I don't have to worry about you.
00:22:14Aaron, did your light just move?
00:22:17Aaron, did your leg just move?
00:22:26I swear his leg just moved.
00:22:29Is that even possible?
00:22:35Morning.
00:22:38Good morning.
00:22:41I had no idea my wife was so affectionate.
00:22:44I was just stretching.
00:22:47Stretching, huh?
00:22:50You need a little sexy morning workout?
00:22:55Happy to help?
00:22:56I think we did enough of that last night, don't you think?
00:23:00Did we?
00:23:11Come to the office.
00:23:13I've got a secret that'll blow your mind.
00:23:17What's all this about?
00:23:29Vivian, sweetie, has your perfect husband told you about his first love?
00:23:34He may be married to you, but I heard his heart belongs to someone else.
00:23:41It doesn't matter.
00:23:45He's my husband, whether he loves me or not.
00:23:49You really are delusional.
00:23:53Ashley, why don't you focus on yourself?
00:23:55Start working on your resume.
00:23:56Because the first thing I'm doing when I'm CEO is firing dead weight, like you.
00:24:05You're not going to get away with this.
00:24:07That'll be all.
00:24:09You're dismissed.
00:24:09So, Erin does have a first love.
00:24:16Whatever.
00:24:17Back to business.
00:24:21I can't make dinner tonight.
00:24:23Meeting Everest's rep at the office.
00:24:25Wish me luck.
00:24:26Mom, we can't let Vivian secure this Everest deal.
00:24:36If she does, we're finished.
00:24:38Relax, darling.
00:24:40Everest's rep, Ralph, he has a particular kink.
00:24:45And Vivian is exactly his time.
00:24:49Oh, this is getting good.
00:24:51It's good.
00:24:51It's good.
00:24:51It's good.
00:24:51It's good.
00:24:52It's good.
00:24:52It's good.
00:24:53It's good.
00:24:53It's good.
00:24:53It's good.
00:24:53It's good.
00:24:53It's good.
00:24:54It's good.
00:24:55It's good.
00:24:55It's good.
00:24:55It's good.
00:24:55It's good.
00:24:56No new leads on Steven.
00:24:58Our team tried tracking down additional surveillance from the night of the accident.
00:25:02No luck.
00:25:04I've waited five years at this point.
00:25:06That's a little bit longer.
00:25:09Once Vivian's able to secure Lawrence Corp, we'll have everything we need to recover the footage.
00:25:13There's something else.
00:25:15The woman who saved your life that night, we might finally have a lead on her.
00:25:20Find her.
00:25:21Whatever it takes.
00:25:22Who's handling the Everest meeting tonight with Vivian?
00:25:25Who's handling the Everest meeting tonight with Vivian?
00:25:26Oh.
00:25:30Ralph.
00:25:33Get the car.
00:25:35We need to go now.
00:25:36To a successful partnership.
00:25:49Before we finalize anything, I want to see how enthusiastic you are about this deal.
00:25:54Of course.
00:25:55Of course.
00:25:55Our latest proposal.
00:25:58Not what I meant.
00:25:59I prefer a more personal approach.
00:26:03Your scar is such a turn-on for me, Miss Lawrence.
00:26:07Please.
00:26:07Don't touch me.
00:26:08Relax.
00:26:10Let's toast to a real partnership.
00:26:12Get off me.
00:26:14Get off me.
00:26:15Get back here.
00:26:16Get back here.
00:26:20Eric?
00:26:24Mr. X.
00:26:26Ralph.
00:26:29You really crossed the line this time.
00:26:35You really crossed the line this time.
00:26:38Mr. X, I swear it was her.
00:26:41She was trying to steal our company's secrets.
00:26:42She attacked me.
00:26:43That is my wife.
00:26:45If she wanted this company, she would already have it.
00:26:48Mr. X, I didn't know.
00:26:50I was just following orders.
00:26:53Whose orders?
00:26:56Ashley Lawrence.
00:27:00Call the lawyers.
00:27:02Take his confession every single word.
00:27:05And William, make sure I never see his face at Everest again.
00:27:10Oh.
00:27:27X?
00:27:29Last night.
00:27:31How did I get home?
00:27:32The 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.
00:27:48Why would I know him?
00:27:49I don't know.
00:27:50I remember.
00:27:52He was tall.
00:27:53Broad shoulders.
00:27:54Actually 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.
00:28:06You know, I love your optimism, but I'm afraid you're going to be stuck with me just the way I am.
00:28:12You know I didn't mean it like that.
00:28:14I know.
00:28:14I'm just teasing you.
00:28:16So I guess I didn't sign the deal with Everest Capital.
00:28:19If I can't secure this partnership, I'll lose my claim to Lawrence Corp.
00:28:23Wait, what?
00:28:38What?
00:28:42That 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?
00:28:56Why would X agree to work with me?
00:28:57I didn't even get a chance to tell him about the proposal.
00:29:00Don't question it.
00:29:02Obviously, he wants this partnership.
00:29:05I just kind of wish I could have helped you out the way that X did.
00:29:08Well, it doesn't matter.
00:29:10Once I get back Lawrence Corp, everything will be different.
00:29:13And no matter what happens, I'm always going to be by your side.
00:29:21It's time.
00:29:22She's late.
00:29:40There's no way she closed the deal.
00:29:41I told you, Everest Capital doesn't work with nobodies.
00:29:48Given the circumstances, I'll be resuming my position as CEO.
00:29:54Who said I failed?
00:29:59Given the circumstances, I'll be resuming my position as CEO.
00:30:02Who said I 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.
00:30:16No, this is impossible.
00:30:20You weren't even supposed to come back.
00:30:21You mean after your little setup, sending Ralph after me?
00:30:25Cute.
00:30:26Really.
00:30:26Enough.
00:30:27Stop this nonsense.
00:30:28We have here an official statement from the CEO of Everest
00:30:31confirming that Ashley Lawrence instructed Ralph
00:30:34to harass her business partner, Vivian Lawrence.
00:30:36Everest Capital has entered into a permanent partnership
00:30:38with 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.
00:30:48Effective 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 that my bride gets what she deserves.
00:31:12An exquisite choice.
00:31:13We had this be specifically restored to Mr. X's request.
00:31:18X?
00:31:20I mean, Mr. Christopher, of course.
00:31:24Silly me.
00:31:25Silly me.
00:31:25Silly me.
00:31:25Silly me.
00:31:25Silly me.
00:31:25Silly me.
00:31:26Silly 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.
00:31:46Aaron, I heard about your first...
00:31:49Sorry.
00:31:51Yeah.
00:31:53What?
00:31:54You found her.
00:31:56I'll be right there.
00:31:57I have to take care of something.
00:31:59You keep going.
00:32:00I'll be back.
00:32:01This 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.
00:32:25Said it was meant for his future wife.
00:32:28Five years ago?
00:32:30This wasn't meant for me.
00:32:33It was for her.
00:32:35His first love.
00:32:40We found her.
00:32:41The woman who saved your life that night.
00:32:49Hey!
00:32:55Hey!
00:32:56Stay with me.
00:32:57Vivian?
00:32:58It was you?
00:33:00I can't keep this.
00:33:15Why 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.
00:33:22Our marriage has always just been a contract.
00:33:29Now that I have Lauren's court back, I'll fulfill my end of the deal.
00:33:34We'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:33:37That really sounds like you're trying to get rid of me.
00:33:39I 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're seeing?
00:34:24Do you like what you're seeing?
00:34:26I guess the accident didn't stop you from staying in shape.
00:34:32You're not so bad yourself.
00:34:33Maybe this isn't the best time.
00:35:01You should go before I forget how to behave myself.
00:35:03I forgot my...
00:35:14Check it.
00:35:23Wait.
00:35:25Did he just stand?
00:35:27No.
00:35:28Impossible.
00:35:30Unless he's hiding something.
00:35:33Maybe it's time I dropped by his office unannounced.
00:35:36Mr. X.
00:35:46At Christopher Group.
00:35:48It's just Aaron.
00:35:49Some new developments from the PI firm about Stephen's involvement in the accident.
00:35:53But without the recovered footage, I'm afraid we still don't have a case.
00:35:56Yeah, I'm working on that.
00:35:57Once we can get that footage to the team at Lawrence Corp., we can end this.
00:36:04If Aaron's hiding something, he might slip up at work.
00:36:08Lucky for me, I have the perfect excuse.
00:36:11Hi, Vivian Christopher, Aaron's wife.
00:36:15I'm just here to drop off some lunch.
00:36:17I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:36:18Mr. Christopher isn't accepting any unscheduled visits.
00:36:21I'm not here for a business meeting.
00:36:22Just lunch.
00:36:23I'm afraid we have really strict policies.
00:36:26You'll need to make an appointment.
00:36:27I'm not here for a business meeting.
00:36:57Could Stephen be X?
00:36:59Such a shame, isn't it?
00:37:00A woman like you.
00:37:02You sit on a man like Aaron.
00:37:03Keep your hands to yourself.
00:37:05Wow.
00:37:06Fire.
00:37:08Stephen, did I meet you at Everest Capital the other night?
00:37:12I don't know.
00:37:13You tell me.
00:37:15Are you X?
00:37:18Look, if you're the one that saved me, fine.
00:37:22I owe you.
00:37:23But 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.
00:37:38Touch my wife again, you'll lose that fucking hand.
00:37:50Relax.
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.
00:38:13Steven, your brother?
00:38:28He kind of reminds me of X.
00:38:30X.
00:38:32X.
00:38:33Steven 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.
00:38:50What?
00:38:54I'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.
00:39:09I did.
00:39:11Yeah.
00:39:13Until 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 your side.
00:39:24No matter what.
00:39:29If only the past didn't exist.
00:39:32No first love.
00:39:34No what-ifs.
00:39:36Just us.
00:39:39Just him and me.
00:39:40As husband and wife.
00:39:55So you're Vivian.
00:39:57As striking as I expected.
00:39:59You know Aaron's kept his distance since the accident.
00:40:01If I hadn't insisted on meeting you, you 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.
00:40:16Come, let's talk.
00:40:20Just the two of us.
00:40:31That necklace.
00:40:33Aaron must truly care about you to give you that.
00:40:35That belonged to his mother.
00:40:36One of the few things she left behind.
00:40:39Aaron's mother.
00:40:39I heard she passed away early.
00:40:41Both 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.
00:40:54Father, 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.
00:41:45Hello.
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, she's in my bed with nothing on but my sheets.
00:42:06Stephen?
00:42:07Stephen?
00:42:15What the hell?
00:42:23We.
00:42:24We did.
00:42:25Good morning, sweetheart.
00:42:27You could keep your hands off me last night.
00:42:30Liar.
00:42:30I'd never.
00:42:31Really?
00:42:33Well, how would you explain this?
00:42:40How would you explain this?
00:42:42This 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.
00:42:56But 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.
00:43:09You lay a finger on her and you are dead.
00:43:11Jeez, we don't have to get her so violent, brother.
00:43:15Besides, 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.
00:43:37You resign as Evers Capital CEO.
00:43:42And 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 Evers Capital is mine.
00:44:11You see, signing over a billion dollar company to your brother for a woman?
00:44:18Now 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.
00:44:29Well, I'll make sure we both burn.
00:44:31All right.
00:44:32Two months.
00:44:34Guess I don't have to worry about you going anywhere in that state.
00:44:47Aaron, after 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.
00:45:01Evian, 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, y'all.
00:45:16I'll still hold up my end of the deal.
00:45:21Do you remember this dormy night five years ago on Houston Road?
00:45:25Car accident.
00:45:35Say what you did.
00:45:41It was you.
00:45:45You have never been second.
00:45:50Never a replacement.
00:45:51My first love, Vivian.
00:45:58It's always been you.
00:46:05Always.
00:46:05I like it when you take charge, Mrs. Christopher.
00:46:17Stick to the plan.
00:46:30When I resign, nothing changes.
00:46:33I still run this show.
00:46:34And 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?
00:46:53Gentlemen.
00:46:55Let's not panic.
00:46:57Everest Capital is in great hands.
00:46:59Mine.
00:47:01I, Stephen Christopher, am your new CEO.
00:47:04And let me tell you, this company's future just got a whole lot brighter.
00:47:08I wouldn't get ahead of yourself, Stephen.
00:47:14I wouldn't get ahead of yourself, Stephen.
00:47:17I hate to interrupt you a 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...
00:47:24Before stepping down, Mr. X transferred his 70% company shares to me.
00:47:29And with my existing 30%, well, you do the math.
00:47:34That's right.
00:47:35I own this company now.
00:47:37No, no, no.
00:47:37This is a joke, right?
00:47:38And as my first order of business, please, escort CEO Stephen out.
00:47:44No, no, no.
00:47:45You can't.
00:47:45I'm the CEO.
00:47:47You're not getting 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.
00:48:02You'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?
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?
00:48:43Oh my God.
00:48:47I swapped the sugar and the salt.
00:48:49Three minutes.
00:48:51I'll be right back.
00:48:52Don't move.
00:48:53Okay.
00:48:53I'm going to have to stick around for a while.
00:49:04I'm going to have to stick around for a while.
00:49:06Et voilà.
00:49:07Are 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 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.
00:49:59Exciting, huh?
00:50:00You think that's funny?
00:50:01Hey, business is cutthroat.
00:50:05Hang in there, buddy.
00:50:09Your next meeting is in 30 minutes.
00:50:22I'll get the presentation ready.
00:50:26Back-to-back meetings again.
00:50:30Why am I so exhausted all of a sudden?
00:50:34Take a quick nap.
00:50:39A proper house husband could never let his hard-working wife go hungry.
00:50:45I swear I would marry you all over again just for this.
00:50:47Our deal with Everest Capital is a game-changer.
00:50:59If we execute the plan we're proposing, we will go far beyond what's been possible so
00:51:03far 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.
00:51:10Yeah, but when's the last time that she slipped?
00:51:13Lately she looks like she's running on fumes.
00:51:15Care to loop us into your little conversation?
00:51:18Don't forget, I'm your CEO.
00:51:20I don't think I need proof.
00:51:24Prove that I have what it takes to...
00:51:27Good news.
00:51:41It's nothing critical, just exhaustion.
00:51:45But also, there's something else.
00:51:47What is it?
00:51:49You're three months pregnant.
00:51:51Congratulations.
00:51:52I'm sorry, what?
00:51:57This can't be happening.
00:51:58This can't be happening.
00:52:07We've triple-checked the results.
00:52:09There's no mistake.
00:52:11You are definitely pregnant.
00:52:17Steven?
00:52:17This wasn't supposed to happen.
00:52:25You always have a choice.
00:52:27But, 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.
00:52:39Excuse me.
00:52:51Excuse me.
00:52:51Hi, I'm Ashley Lawrence,
00:53:02Vivian's sister.
00:53:04She's been a little emotional lately,
00:53:07so she wanted me to check on her results for her.
00:53:11Families should look out for each other,
00:53:13am I right?
00:53:14You told me it was just an act?
00:53:22Why the hell is Vivian pregnant?
00:53:24Relax.
00:53:24I never touched her, okay?
00:53:26That kid is not mine.
00:53:28Then whose is it?
00:53:29Her disabled husband?
00:53:31We 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.
00:53:38Let's picture the scandal for a sec.
00:53:40A wife caught between two brothers.
00:53:42How do you think Aaron will handle that?
00:53:51Aaron?
00:53:54I'm pregnant.
00:53:58Wait, seriously?
00:54:01That's great news.
00:54:03No, it's not.
00:54:05Because I don't know if it's yours.
00:54:08You 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.
00:54:23Listen to me.
00:54:25This child is yours.
00:54:27That's all that matters.
00:54:30Just stay where you are.
00:54:31I'm coming to get you.
00:54:32I'm coming to get you.
00:54:32Vivian?
00:54:52Vivian?
00:54:52What 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?
00:55:02I'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, right?
00:55:31Of course something happened.
00:55:33Then why don't I remember anything?
00:55:36I don't know.
00:55:37Maybe you blacked out.
00:55:39But I remember quite vividly.
00:55:42You were certainly into it.
00:55:43One of the best nights of my life.
00:55:48Let me out.
00:55:49Now, Steven!
00:55:50Okay, Jesus.
00:56:03I've decided.
00:56:05I'm not keeping this baby.
00:56:10You know that if you go through with this, you might never be able to have children again.
00:56:14But if there's even the slightest chance that it's Steven's, how do I live with that?
00:56:23How do you?
00:56:27This isn't about Steven.
00:56:32This child is yours.
00:56:35That's all I need to know.
00:56:37DNA doesn't define family.
00:56:40Love does.
00:56:40And Vivian, I love you.
00:56:57Steven's reaction to the pregnancy.
00:57:00Something doesn't feel right.
00:57:03You're just too confident.
00:57:05Too assured.
00:57:10Aaron, something doesn't add up.
00:57:13Mike, what's going on?
00:57:21The night Steven drugged me.
00:57:22It was barely two months ago.
00:57:25This baby is three months alone.
00:57:27So you're saying the baby was conceived before that night?
00:57:32It was before I met you.
00:57:34I was supposed to go on a blind date.
00:57:36I stayed at a hotel, met this guy.
00:57:41It has to be from that night.
00:57:45Yeah, it's gotta be.
00:57:48It's not Steven's.
00:57:50Thank God it's not his.
00:57:52It's all happening.
00:58:00Steven's finished.
00:58:01We've notified his clients that the evidence against him has officially been filed in court.
00:58:05I can't believe that tomorrow I get to finally put all this behind me.
00:58:14Show what really happened the night of the accident.
00:58:18And it's all because of you.
00:58:21I sent William everything.
00:58:23My team recovered.
00:58:24It's all there.
00:58:25Make sure Steven never comes back from this.
00:58:30Oh, don't worry.
00:58:31He's finished.
00:58:37You 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,
00:58:50I'll make you my wife.
00:58:51You better keep your word.
00:58:53Don't even worry.
00:58:55By tomorrow,
00:58:56the old man will sign everything over to me.
00:58:58But once I'm running Christopher Group,
00:59:00you'll have everything I promised.
00:59:09Father, you shouldn't push yourself so hard.
00:59:12The doctor warned you,
00:59:13stress isn't good for your heart.
00:59:15I don't want you to worry about me, son.
00:59:17I just want what's best for you.
00:59:18And for the company.
00:59:21I'm sure all of you are wondering
00:59:23what the big news is.
00:59:24I've decided it's time
00:59:26to embark on a new chapter
00:59:28in this company.
00:59:30I'm officially signing over Christopher Group
00:59:33to Steven.
00:59:35Any objections?
00:59:39A wise choice, sir.
00:59:40Steven has done nothing
00:59:42but proven his loyalty.
00:59:43Thank you, father.
00:59:44I know I have some big shoes to fill here,
00:59:47but I promise that I will try my best
00:59:49to carry this family's legacy.
00:59:51I object.
01:00:01There's the accident.
01:00:05There.
01:00:06Or should I say attempted murder?
01:00:12This is impossible.
01:00:13No, no, no.
01:00:13The camera on that road was...
01:00:15Sabotaged?
01:00:16Yeah.
01:00:17I know.
01:00:19But lucky for us,
01:00:19Lawrence Corp
01:00:20is world-class
01:00:22in data recovery.
01:00:23Steven,
01:00:24tell me this isn't true.
01:00:26I had nothing.
01:00:31I had to crawl my way to the top
01:00:33while he was headed to everything.
01:00:36I just wanted to be seen.
01:00:38Speaking of secrets,
01:00:40here's another big one.
01:00:42After the crash,
01:00:43I pulled away.
01:00:46I faked an injury.
01:00:47I just wanted this
01:00:51snake
01:00:52to think that he'd won.
01:00:57In the meantime,
01:00:58I also built
01:01:00Everest Capital.
01:01:02Mysterious X?
01:01:06Me.
01:01:07Aaron,
01:01:09your patience and resilience.
01:01:11You were always meant to leave.
01:01:15But you,
01:01:16you took the wrong path.
01:01:19I've always been supportive of you,
01:01:20but it's over.
01:01:22You are no longer
01:01:23part of this family.
01:01:25No, no, no.
01:01:25You can't do this to me.
01:01:27Actions have consequences.
01:01:29Now get out.
01:01:40You're gonna regret this!
01:01:46Get your hands off me!
01:01:54So I guess this means
01:01:55things didn't go as planned.
01:01:57If you're here to rub it in,
01:01:59just like the rest of them,
01:02:00get in line.
01:02:02You and me
01:02:03are cut from the same cloth.
01:02:06You,
01:02:07the bastard's son,
01:02:08and me,
01:02:09the stepdaughter nobody wanted.
01:02:11So why do we keep
01:02:13playing their game
01:02:15when we could just
01:02:17rewrite the rules?
01:02:18Vivian.
01:02:33Let me explain.
01:02:35What's there to explain?
01:02:36How you lied to me?
01:02:38How you made me look like
01:02:39a complete fool
01:02:41while I poured my heart out?
01:02:43No.
01:02:43No!
01:02:43My feelings for you
01:02:46were never
01:02:47a lie.
01:02:49I just,
01:02:49I had to make sure
01:02:50that my plan would work.
01:02:51I couldn't risk it.
01:02:52And you didn't trust me
01:02:52to be part of it.
01:02:58There's no coming back
01:02:59from this.
01:03:02We're done, Aaron.
01:03:04I want a divorce.
01:03:13Damn, Viv.
01:03:22You moving in
01:03:22or launching
01:03:23an apartment store.
01:03:24Come on.
01:03:25You can't spare
01:03:26one room for your bestie?
01:03:28Yeah.
01:03:28Well,
01:03:29Daddy put my black card
01:03:30in timeout,
01:03:31so technically I'm broke.
01:03:33Yeah.
01:03:34But,
01:03:34now that you're a CEO,
01:03:36I guess you could be
01:03:37my sugar mom.
01:03:38Yeah?
01:03:39Fine.
01:03:41At least make yourself useful
01:03:42and help me unpack.
01:03:45Okay.
01:03:46Yeah.
01:03:47Yeah.
01:03:47Yeah.
01:03:47Thanks.
01:03:52So,
01:03:53you're really divorcing Aaron?
01:03:55He lied to my face
01:03:56for months.
01:03:57What am I supposed to do?
01:03:58Uplaud his performance?
01:04:00Okay,
01:04:01but he did kind of do it
01:04:01to take down Stephen.
01:04:03Aaron Christopher
01:04:04has officially assumed
01:04:05leadership of Christopher Group,
01:04:07securing his place
01:04:09as the new CEO.
01:04:10Damn.
01:04:11Your man is really
01:04:12the whole package.
01:04:14Hey,
01:04:14if you're done with him,
01:04:15I'm happy to...
01:04:20Fair enough.
01:04:22Vivian,
01:04:35it's 7 a.m.
01:04:36Are you possessed?
01:04:37Nope.
01:04:39Just focusing on me
01:04:40and getting on with my life.
01:04:42You sure you're not
01:04:43overdoing it?
01:04:44Especially with
01:04:45the baby?
01:04:46Still ghosting him?
01:04:52That makes what?
01:04:54300 texts?
01:04:56Damn,
01:04:56the guy's not giving up.
01:04:58I don't want to talk about him.
01:05:00I have exactly
01:05:0029 minutes
01:05:02until I have to deal
01:05:03with corporate sharks.
01:05:04At least have some breakfast.
01:05:06God.
01:05:07By now,
01:05:15Aaron would have
01:05:15dropped off
01:05:16my favorite lunch.
01:05:18No way.
01:05:20Could it be?
01:05:25Could it be?
01:05:28Hey, boss.
01:05:29The research team's ready
01:05:30for you,
01:05:30but someone thought
01:05:31you might skip lunch
01:05:32and brought you this.
01:05:34Let me guess.
01:05:35Aaron?
01:05:36You two still at odds?
01:05:38It's been days.
01:05:39Who wants to fight
01:05:40with a liar?
01:05:42Buddy is a good cook.
01:05:48Let's go.
01:05:50This is our biggest
01:05:51tech breakthrough yet.
01:05:52It relies on
01:05:53the same algorithm
01:05:54that was used
01:05:55to recover
01:05:55the Everest Capital
01:05:56car accident footage.
01:05:58Hang on.
01:05:58Who was your contact
01:06:00at Everest
01:06:01for that project?
01:06:01Their executive assistant,
01:06:04William.
01:06:05William?
01:06:07Aaron's right-hand man?
01:06:09Could Aaron be ex?
01:06:17Tell me the truth.
01:06:19Aaron is ex,
01:06:20isn't he?
01:06:25Yes, it's true.
01:06:31Look,
01:06:32you had to fake the injury.
01:06:34You think Stephen
01:06:35would have stopped
01:06:35if you knew Aaron was fine?
01:06:36And what about the lying?
01:06:37Was that a part
01:06:38of the grand strategy too?
01:06:41You think he wasn't
01:06:42trying to protect you too?
01:06:43That deal you made
01:06:44with Everest Capital,
01:06:45he made sure it went through.
01:06:46That's how you secured
01:06:47Lawrence Corp.
01:06:48He risked everything
01:06:48to back you.
01:06:50And that night
01:06:51with Ralph,
01:06:52he didn't care about
01:06:53blowing his cover,
01:06:53he just ran in
01:06:54to save you.
01:06:55I have a charity gala tonight.
01:07:02Do you want to be
01:07:03my plus one?
01:07:05After all,
01:07:06we are still married.
01:07:08Ma'am,
01:07:14your leadership skills
01:07:15are turning heads.
01:07:16A toast
01:07:16to your continued success.
01:07:18I appreciate the toast,
01:07:19really,
01:07:20but I'm a disaster
01:07:21with alcohol.
01:07:22Let's not ruin
01:07:23a perfectly good evening.
01:07:24Come on,
01:07:25just one drink.
01:07:26Consider it
01:07:27an investment.
01:07:28Appreciate the gesture,
01:07:29but my wife
01:07:30doesn't drink.
01:07:31I'm sure you understand.
01:07:34Funny.
01:07:35Word is she won't
01:07:36be your wife
01:07:36much longer.
01:07:37But perhaps
01:07:38when she's single,
01:07:39I'll have better luck.
01:07:40Nonsense.
01:07:41I haven't signed
01:07:42a damn thing.
01:07:44She's still mine.
01:07:46All I can say is
01:07:47the rumors might be true.
01:07:49And once it's official,
01:07:50I'll be throwing
01:07:50a fabulous singles party.
01:07:53You should come.
01:07:58Aaron,
01:07:59do you care
01:08:00to dance with us?
01:08:02What, um...
01:08:03Come on,
01:08:04just win the song.
01:08:07Ladies,
01:08:07if you'll excuse me,
01:08:08I have to get some air.
01:08:17Look who finally
01:08:18escaped his fan club.
01:08:22You know you
01:08:23shouldn't be drinking.
01:08:25Come on.
01:08:26Take you home.
01:08:27Relax.
01:08:27It's just a ginger ale.
01:08:34You are such
01:08:36an asshole.
01:08:38Oh, yeah?
01:08:39So what does that make you?
01:08:41Because this asshole
01:08:42is still so damn
01:08:44in love with you.
01:08:45What the hell
01:08:59am I doing?
01:09:04Vivian,
01:09:05why are you sneaking in
01:09:06like a teenager
01:09:07past curfew?
01:09:08Because I'm a mess.
01:09:10I was supposed
01:09:12to be done
01:09:13with Aaron.
01:09:14And then...
01:09:15Ugh.
01:09:16Let me guess.
01:09:18Things got...
01:09:19heated?
01:09:21Maybe I should
01:09:22see you shrink.
01:09:23Look,
01:09:24I just think
01:09:25you should at least
01:09:25have a proper
01:09:26conversation with him.
01:09:28You know,
01:09:29maybe deep down
01:09:30you don't
01:09:31want to leave him?
01:09:32Viv,
01:09:45I was at the hospital
01:09:46with my mom
01:09:47and you won't believe
01:09:48who I just saw.
01:09:49Who?
01:09:49William with Aaron
01:09:50heading into the ER.
01:09:52What?

01:10:08heart attack.
01:10:09He's in emergency
01:10:09care now.

01:10:11everything they can.
01:10:13Heart attack?
01:10:21Please.
01:10:23Don't take him.
01:10:25Not like this.
01:10:28I love him.
01:10:30I still love him.
01:10:32You need to tell him
01:10:33that.
01:10:34Just give me
01:10:35one more chance.
01:10:55Aaron?
01:10:57How?
01:10:58Weren't you just...
01:10:59It wasn't me in the ER.
01:11:13It was my dad.
01:11:14Your dad?
01:11:15What happened?
01:11:16Heart attack.
01:11:18Again.
01:11:19Aaron, I...
01:11:21Look.
01:11:22Lauren's Corp
01:11:24has some of the best
01:11:25cardiologists.
01:11:27If you need anything.
01:11:29Vivian...
01:11:33Please, just...
01:11:35Promise me
01:11:36you'll take care of yourself.
01:11:39You're...
01:11:40holding something back.
01:11:41What is it?
01:11:44I think we need to talk.
01:11:47About the divorce.
01:11:49Really?
01:11:49Do you reconsider?
01:11:57Yeah, okay.
01:11:59Yeah.
01:12:00Here.
01:12:01Take my car.
01:12:02And...
01:12:03I'll meet you at home.
01:12:04And we can talk there.
01:12:06I just...
01:12:06I gotta get back to my dad.
01:12:08Okay.
01:12:09I'll...
01:12:09I'll see you there.
01:12:11Yeah.
01:12:11Yeah.
01:12:11I'll see you there.
01:12:13Yeah.
01:12:31Ashley?
01:12:33What?
01:12:35Dad, was it an accident?
01:12:37Is he okay?
01:12:38Where is he?
01:12:40I'll be right there.
01:12:41Dad?
01:12:51It's me.
01:12:52I'm here.
01:12:55Hmm.
01:12:56Something doesn't feel right.
01:12:59Maybe they already
01:13:00transferred him
01:13:01to the hospital?
01:13:07The procedure
01:13:08was very successful.
01:13:09Your father is stable.
01:13:11But you'll need
01:13:1248 hours of close monitoring.
01:13:14I'll come back
01:13:15to check on them later.
01:13:16But...
01:13:17I need to
01:13:18take care of something
01:13:19at home first.
01:13:30Viv?
01:13:30Viv?
01:13:35Viv?
01:13:35Do you want to come home?
01:13:40Do you want to come home?
01:13:40Okay, Vivian, stay calm.
01:14:08Ashley called.
01:14:10Dad was in danger.
01:14:13I rushed home.
01:14:15Everyone was there.
01:14:17Then blackout.
01:14:20It was a setup.
01:14:23Ashley!
01:14:25Come out!
01:14:26I know it was you.
01:14:26Wow.
01:14:29Wow.
01:14:30It took you long enough.
01:14:33You really should have been
01:14:35smarter about this, sweetheart.
01:14:37You could have had everything.
01:14:39Money.
01:14:40Power.
01:14:42Me.
01:14:43But you just had to
01:14:44throw it all away
01:14:45from that pathetic liar.
01:14:47Go to hell.
01:14:51William,
01:14:52track Vivian's phone.
01:14:53I don't care what it takes.
01:14:55Just find her.
01:14:56I know you've always
01:15:00had a soft spot
01:15:01for Daddy.
01:15:02Well, lucky for you,
01:15:03here he is.
01:15:11I know you've always had a soft spot
01:15:12for Daddy.
01:15:13Well, lucky for you,
01:15:15here he is.
01:15:16We found her.
01:15:18Send me the info.
01:15:19Meet me there
01:15:20and bring backup.
01:15:31You just have to sign it, sweetheart.
01:15:34Transfer all of your
01:15:35Lawrence Corp shares
01:15:35over to Ashley and I.
01:15:37You're my father.
01:15:41How could you do this to me?
01:15:43So you and Ashley
01:15:52were in on this together all along?
01:15:55Why?
01:15:56Why couldn't you just support me?
01:15:58Well, I spent years
01:15:59resenting your perfect mother.
01:16:01Nothing I ever did
01:16:02was good enough for her.
01:16:04And you?
01:16:04Well, let's be honest.
01:16:07You always chose her side.
01:16:09So just sign the damn papers
01:16:11and we can finally move on
01:16:12from all of this.
01:16:14It's the only way
01:16:15you'll walk out of your life.
01:16:17Keep dreaming.
01:16:18Lawrence Corp is my mother's legacy.
01:16:21I'd rather let this place
01:16:22burn down
01:16:22than you parasites take it.
01:16:24Vivian,
01:16:25be reasonable.
01:16:26It's not like you have
01:16:27much of a choice.
01:16:29I knew you'd be stubborn.
01:16:30So here's a little incentive.
01:16:31My darling Vivian.
01:16:41Mom?
01:16:41I wanted to give you
01:16:42one final message.
01:16:44This was your mom's
01:16:45final gift to you
01:16:45before she died.
01:16:46She recorded a special message
01:16:48and asked me to pass it along
01:16:49to you
01:16:50when the time was right.
01:16:52So it's your choice.
01:16:53Do you care to know
01:16:54your mother's last dying words?
01:16:56Or do you want to say
01:16:57goodbye to her forever?
01:17:01Last chance.
01:17:03Sign the contract.
01:17:05Come on, sis.
01:17:06Don't be stupid.
01:17:14Come on, sis.
01:17:16Don't be stupid.
01:17:17Fine.
01:17:19I'll sign it.
01:17:19There.
01:17:32Now give me the drive.
01:17:34No!
01:17:35Look at you.
01:17:39Pathetic.
01:17:40All that crying
01:17:41over 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.

01:18:01Do something!
01:18:02Gladly.
01:18:03Time to finish what we started.

01:18:13I'd fucking kill you!
01:18:16Ashley, Steven's hurt.
