Original subtitles

Too many margaritas. I'm okay. Let's get

you in bed. Oh, Jesus.

You have pajamas upstairs. Um

and and I have breakfast and all that,

too. Oh,

Chloe.

Um,

so you're drunk?

We're both drunk, right?

Funny

cuz I've never felt more so.

Hey,

we're best friends. We're roommates.

This is your last chance.

I can't believe it, Maddie. It's my

3-year anniversary with Sam.

I think he's going to propose.

H,

which is why I need you to take pictures

of me from the bar when it happens.

And uh why would I do that?

cuz I'm your best friend. You love me.

Hey, you're right.

Sam's here. Thank you, Maddie. You're

the best.

Okay, go.

Mr. Sheldon, the usual.

You know it.

I can't stay, Chloe. I uh only came here

cuz I wanted to do this right. Breaking

up with you.

It's our 3-year anniversary. I thought,

look, I just really need to focus on

myself now. My business is taking off

after I finish my MBA.

the NBA I've been working two jobs to

pay for.

And I will forever cherish that. But I'm

different now. I'm better. And it's time

for me to move on to something better.

But hey, no hard feelings, right?

Gave you everything.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

It's okay. Just let it go. All right.

It's no big deal. Let it go. What the

hell is

Sam? What's up, man?

Look, dude. I get it. She's my best

friend and even I can't handle her

temper sometimes.

I also heard that you're now a big fancy

CEO. Am I right? Congrats, dude.

Hey, thanks for looking out for me, man.

Yeah, see, even your best friend knows

I'm right. We're just in different

worlds now. I may be more successful,

but don't be ashamed.

Oh, Sam, I'm not ashamed.

You know what? I just got an idea. It's

the 21st century, right? Breakups

happen. But that doesn't mean life ends.

Sam, you're the man here. Yeah. Why Why

don't you guys just hug it out? Put it

in the past. Clean slate. What do you

say? I'll give you some privacy.

Chloe, if you're interested in staying

friends, I'm more than happy to

Hey,

get your hands off my wife.

Wife? Your wife?

your wife. Don't act so [ __ ]

surprised. You're the one that's been

following us around like a stalker.

I'm not a stalker.

You follow her to work. You sit outside

of our apartment and you put these

[ __ ] love letters in our mailbox.

Also, glad you're here. On your camera,

I found all these pictures of us.

And then you put your hands on her here

in front of me.

That's not true, [ __ ]

Whoa. Whoa. Hands off. Let go of me.

He's crazy.

I'm crazy. Get this through your [ __ ]

skull. She don't want you, pal.

What? Move. You're insane.

I messed up my shirt.

Well, that went well.

What? Dude,

what?

Mm-m.

Mhm.

Hey,

we're best friends, your family. We're

roommates.

This is your last chance.

Don't worry, Matteo.

You can hold me accountable.

How?

I'll marry you.

I've loved her since the first day.

I want this. I want her.

I'll hold you to it.

What happened last night?

Why am I wearing Matteo's rings?

Do you remember what happened now?

Well, good morning to you too, fianceé.

Oh my god. I slept with my best friend

and promised to marry him.

Oh,

hey, Perve.

Eyes up here.

I'm not looking at you.

All right. Hey, Chloe, listen. Look at

me.

First of all, thank you. Um, but we need

to talk about this. Look, I we've been

best friends for forever. We work at the

same company. I even help you with your

side job. Now, last night.

He's right. How could I do this to him?

I can't lose my best friend.

I'm so sorry, Maddie.

Please don't be mad at me. I promise

I'll make it up to you. Just say the

word.

Well,

I can think of a way that you could make

it up to me.

What?

What do you mean?

You're kidding, right?

Hey, look, I won't force you. We can

back out. I'll just I'll move out and be

homeless.

Wait, just let me think about this. I

mean, I just I didn't think that I would

get married so young. There's an entire

world of hot guys who have limits now.

Wait a minute.

We're here at a courthouse. All you're

thinking about is hot dudes.

Mhm.

Okay. But seriously,

I mean, I know you're worried about your

mom and your brother, and

I know they want to ship you off to a

bunch of rich old dudes or something

like that, right? Plus, you know, maybe

this is a good thing. So, this is really

me kind of doing you a favor.

Okay. Yes, you have a point. I mean, at

least you are the one person I can

always rely on.

All right, best friend. Let's get

married.

What have you done, Chloe?

Most people just get drunk when they get

dumped. But no, no, you had to sleep

with your best friend.

God, I am so sorry.

It's okay. I was headed to Mr. White's

class and I Thank you.

Huh? Um Oh, Mr. White. Yeah. Yeah. Uh he

uh flunks anyone who's late, which by

the way, we are 30 seconds late, so we

should probably

How um

I'm not giving up. Uh why don't we both

go together? He'll probably yell at us.

It'll probably still be embarrassing,

but

I love that. Uh I'm Matt Lane. It's nice

to meet you.

Chloe Pascal.

Hey,

you okay?

Yeah.

This is my mom. I have to take this.

No problem. You go ahead,

boss. Hey, there you are. I've been

looking for you.

What are you doing outside city hall?

Oh, nothing, dude. Just getting married.

Married to Miss Pascal.

Congratulations.

I know. I know. Plus, now you can tell

her the truth. That you're actually the

richest man in the country. Uh,

and that you insisted on buying her

company and you've only been working

here undercover just to be with her.

No, no, no, no. As far as she knows, I'm

just her best friend, dude.

And I'm the only person she can trust.

And And that's true. So, what I'm

thinking is we fall in love, right? And

then I'll tell her the truth.

Tell me what.

Um,

the CEO has some really urgent work for

me to do, which is why Mr. Miles just

happened to be in the area.

Urgent?

We only asked off for half a day so we

could get married.

The CEO doesn't even show up to the

office. The dickhead's working us like

mules.

What an [ __ ] So, um, what' your mom

want?

Oh, you know, she got me a date with an

old man. If I don't go, she's going to

burn my grandma's house down.

Just the usual normal stuff. Yeah.

Don't worry. I'm going to take care of

it. We should get you to the office

since they clearly can't survive without

you, Mr. Lane. Well,

well, only if she knew her husband owns

the company.

I'm about to head back to the office

now. Would you two like a lift?

Are you sure, Mr. Miles? Isn't this the

CEO's car?

Oh, well, I'm sure the uh, you know,

[ __ ] boss wouldn't mind. Isn't that

right, Mr. Miles?

After you, Miss Pascal.

Dude.

Oh [ __ ]

Chill.

Thank you.

Maddie, I did something crazy. I married

my best friend.

Now that we're married, it's kind of

awkward, but I miss telling him

everything.

Is there something you want to tell me?

You ready to burn the bridge?

What are you doing here?

I brought you some coffee.

Actually, I do need some green teeth.

Slacking again. Are we Chloe?

You know, if you like flirting with men

so much, there's another job for women

like you, Chloe. A hooker.

He's my friend, Nancy. You know what

that word means, right? Friend,

drop the act. We all saw you come in to

work today in the CEO's car. Did some

extra credit, huh, Chloe?

I'm warning you, [ __ ] The CEO is mine,

so you better back off.

Poor you. Following Chloe around like a

stray dog while she's been seducing the

CEO behind your back.

Okay, I have no interest in the CEO.

Okay, you can have him. But

I heard he has good taste, so I doubt

he'll be interested.

Take that back, you little [ __ ]

You know, I don't usually hit women. You

do that again, though, and I'll break.

Also, this uh fantasy that you have with

the CEO, I've I just have a suspicion

that he's not going to be interested.

Yeah. And why are you so sure of that?

You're just an IT geek. Let's just say

that I have a good feeling.

My designer dress.

You all saw it. Chloe and this loser

attacked me.

You are fired. Both of you.

Wow. Uh, firing both of us. That's a lot

of power for the head of the marketing

department.

What are you going to do about it?

You're just a nerd on the IG team. I'm

not scared of you.

You should be.

Hey, just forget it. What if the CEO

finds out about this? I can't risk you

losing your job, too. Who's going to pay

rent?

That's my job now to protect you, right?

We've only been married a few hours,

Matteo Lane. You're rather committed to

the role.

That's it. I've wasted enough time on

these two. Security, get them out of

here. You see that everyone? I'm just

taking the trash out for the company. If

the CEO were here, he'd thank me. Oh,

Mr. Miles, thank God you're here. We're

just kicking these losers out for

insulting the CEO.

That's very interesting, Miss Gibson.

But I have a direct message from the CEO

himself.

Miss Khloe Pascal has been promoted to

the head of the marketing team. And uh

oh here, Miss Nancy Gibson has been

fired effective immediately.

No, this is impossible.

It was you. You did this. I'm

sorry. What was it that you said? Uh oh.

Yeah, we're just taking the trash out.

Get her out of here.

My god, what just happened?

I don't know, but that was crazy.

Did you have something to do with this?

Oh my god. No, I think that the CEO

promoted you because he recognizes your

talent and you've worked very hard.

Okay. Well, I can't believe that I got

married and promoted in the same day.

And

so, I think that we should go and

celebrate

and get a drink or get some food or

so. You're drunk.

No, no, no, no. Um, I don't think I

should drink ever again.

Are you avoiding me, Mrs. Lane?

Not avoiding you. I'm just

You know what? We haven't gone to the

flower market in a while. We should go

there and make some extra cash.

Okay. Well, the flower market, I mean,

that's not fun. And it's our wedding

night. You just got promoted. We should

celebrate. I mean,

hey. Hey, look. Stop.

I know that we're married now, but we

cannot do this at work. So, just go

actually be productive elsewhere. Okay.

Please.

It's okay, Chloe. I've loved you for all

these years. I'll wait for you to fall

in love with me.

Come on, Maddie. You know how important

my side job is to me. Are you going to

be helpful or what?

Smile. You're scaring away the

customers.

See, isn't that better?

Keep it up. Uh, I'm going to go grab

something from the cart.

Hi, handsome. How much could the

bouquet?

The uh prices are all on the labels,

miss.

And what's your favorite flower here? I

would love your recommendation. Hey, can

I help you with anything?

Thanks. But this gentleman and I were

talking here and he's been very helpful.

So handsome.

How about you throw your number in while

we're at it?

But you know what? Uh I I don't think I

can do that cuz my wife wouldn't

appreciate it.

My wife would appreciate it. Also,

your pickup lines do seem a little

rusty. I will look on that.

What?

What did you do? That was a customer.

I Wait, so you wouldn't be jealous if I

gave a random customer my number?

That's not what I mean.

So, you would be jealous?

Stop it. Just go get some water before

you scare away the rest of the

customers.

I can do that. I can do that. How's it

going, little sis?

What are you doing here, Henry? Oh,

I'm sorry, your highness. I didn't know

you own this street.

What do you want?

Ah, not much. Just a few hundred bucks.

Huh?

No. No way. I'm not giving you anymore.

Are you deaf or just dumb? Chloe,

I'm telling you, mom and I need money.

You ungrateful brat.

Ungrateful.

I've been working since high school, and

I send you and mom money every month.

Stop taking credits and just hand me

some cash. I'm warning you.

Scared now, huh?

Let go, Henry. You're crazy.

Shut your trapper. I'll shut it for you,

[ __ ]

I'll break your arm for you. How does

that sound?

Then I know who you are. You're Henry,

right? Your closed brother. The the one

who uh still lives in your basement.

How's that going?

You pushed me, you [ __ ]

Oh my.

You better give me some money now before

I sue you for assault.

In your dreams, Henry. We're not giving

you a scent. Leave now.

You little [ __ ]

Hey, you're going to side with this jerk

and not your family.

See, that's the funny thing.

I'm her husband, which means that she's

my family now.

I have a feeling that I'm probably going

to do a better job than you ever did.

Husband? Chloe pass. Will you marry this

penniles deadbeat? Divorce him. Come

home with me now. Mom and I found you a

rich guy. He's willing to pay half a

million for you.

Are you kidding, Henry? You can't just

sell me like some cattle.

Half a million. I'll take care of it.

There's no way Matteo has that kind of

money unless

he's hiding something from me.

I'll take care of it.

What are you talking about, Matt? You

don't have 500 grand.

But I do. And if it makes you happy, I'd

give up 10 times more than that.

You're going to give me 500 grand.

You're just a dirty little vendor.

You're basically a beggar. This is your

precious husband, Chloe.

I don't care if he's rich. I like him

for who he is.

She said she liked me.

That's it, Chloe. I'm telling Mom, don't

say I didn't warn you.

Sure. Go ahead. Run away to mom. It's

all you're good for anyway.

You

You really don't want this hand, do you?

Touch my wife again

and I'll break it permanently.

Go.

Oh, looks like your knee's just fine

after all.

I can't believe it. No one's ever stood

up for me like that. Oh,

you're amazing, Maddie.

Was I?

Yeah, that's why you're my best friend,

right?

When is she going to realize that I

don't want to be just her best friend?

Well, we have a lot of flowers left

over, so I guess it's just not our day.

We should probably just close up and

head home.

Tom, send him back up here to the

market.

Hello. Can I get those ones, please?

Thank you.

Well, looks like it is our day after

all, huh?

Does this man know Matteo?

It's funny. I was just saying how slow

it's been. Who knew it would take such a

turn? Don't you think this is kind of

weird?

H

All these men in suits and the way

they're looking at you.

No, no, no, no. I mean, maybe they just

have good taste.

No, but it's not weird. Not at all.

Maddie,

did you

No, no. I mean, these fine gentlemen

probably have a corporate event that

they're needing flowers for, and uh I

wouldn't worry about it, but we have

customers, so it's

Hi.

Great choice, Tom. You dummy. At least

tell the boys to change into something

else before coming from the office.

How we doing?

Hi. Hey, Mr. Miles. Why did the CEO

order the entire department to get

flowers from some random vendor? I I

mean one phone call and he can get

whatever he wants.

Boss is doing it for love. You get it?

Love.

Thank you.

Beautiful choice.

You know, maybe it's time I told Chloe

that I'm the CEO so she doesn't have to

work so hard.

Maddie, are you there?

Yeah.

Where are you?

I forgot my bathroom. Can you get me

one?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no can

do. I put it right out here for you

because look, I know that we've been

best friends since

the dinosaurs were here. But I'm telling

you, you got to remember that I'm

technically a man. All right, which and

and now that we're married,

what do you mean?

Come on, Maddie. We do this all the

time.

Dear God. Okay. Um, no. No.

I'm freezing.

Well, make an igloo. I'm sorry.

All right. You know, I think I know why

you're so shy and don't want to see me

naked.

Because you like me. You want to kiss

me.

What are you doing, Matt?

No, we can't do this. We're just

friends.

You know, it's funny to hear you say

friend because I seem to remember you

being the one who seduced me the other

night. Remember,

this is your last chance.

Don't worry, Matteo.

You can hold me accountable.

How?

I'll marry you.

Fine, I get it. I was a drunk idiot and

I forced you to marry me.

No, you were a drunk idiot. But I never

said that I was forced.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You all done?

Yes.

Great. What?

All right, let's go. Watch that. It's

okay.

You know I've seen it all, right?

Stop it.

Why are you doing this?

We're best friends.

I know.

For 10 whole years, we've been best

friends.

But what if what if I want something

more?

Look,

tell me the truth.

If there's nothing more to this, if this

is a dead end, a locked door,

I'll let it go.

Mom, what do you want?

Chloe Pascal,

how dare you hit your brother and get

married behind my back, you ungrateful

[ __ ] We found a wonderful man for you.

So get your ass home tomorrow or I swear

I will sell your dead grandma's house.

Let me guess.

Your mom is holding your grandma's house

over your head and trying to sell you

off to some rich old man.

I can't keep letting her do this to me.

Or you.

All right, that's it. Tomorrow I'm going

over there and I'm telling her I'm

married.

I can go with you if you want.

No, I

This is my family, my mess.

I can take care of it.

I know Chloe's mom and brother. They're

not going to let her off of her that

easily.

Hey, Tom. Listen.

I want you to make three expensive

engagement gifts.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm meeting my wife's family

tomorrow.

Thank you.

What do you want me to do?

Told you to be here on time. How dare

you keep Mr. Cooper waiting?

Mr. Cooper, this is my baby girl, Chloe.

Isn't she pretty?

Mom, I already told you I'm not marrying

a sugar daddy.

She doesn't mean that, Mr. Cooper. Oh, I

do mean that, Mr. Cooper. I'm not going

to sell my soul for money. So, if you

want to buy a bride, you've come to the

wrong place. Cuz I'm

already married.

What is this? She's married.

You're tricking me into marrying a

handme-down [ __ ]

How dare you?

Don't listen to her, sir. She married a

dirty scumbag, but they're getting a

divorce.

That's right, Mr. Cooper. We'll take her

to the court. It'll be done today.

No. No. This is my life. My marriage.

You have no say in this. I am never

divorcing Matteo Lane. So,

give me grandma's house and I will leave

forever.

Running off with some dirty vendor.

You know what you are?

An easy lay. You're so desperate for

men. Go with Mr. Cooper.

Lucky for you, sugar. Please do like

young and feisty.

Help your man. I'll give you all the

money you want.

Let me go.

What are you doing?

I don't care if you're rich. You're just

a disgusting perk.

Shut up, Coop. Mr. Cooper here is the

sales manager of the Nella Media.

Uh-huh.

Think about the bonus and raise you'll

get just by spreading your legs.

That's right. You're lucky he's even

interested in you. Get down on your

knees and apologize.

That's right. Apologize and be a good

girl to me tonight or I'm walking up

with my 500 grand

in your dream.

Okay, Chloe, you want to do this the

hard way? Henry, take her into the room

with Mr. Cooper now.

Time to have some fun.

Mom,

let me out.

Let me go. Somebody help.

Chloe. Chloe.

Where is my wife?

Hey,

come

look at me.

Damn.

You're here.

Of course I'm here. I'll always be here.

What the hell?

If you keep talking, I'll break much

more than that.

This is crazy. You're trespassing.

This is Matteo. Mom, the poor piece of

trash that Chloe married.

I think we all know who the trash is

around here.

Speaking of broke, show them.

It's impossible. It's just a poor vendor

at some farmers market.

Everybody hired these thugs to play as

phony guards. Do you even know who I am?

I'm the sales manager at Nella, the

biggest corporation in this state.

Oh,

I'm so sorry. No, you're right. I I I

actually do know who you are.

It's our CEO's assistant. Oh, I can't

wait to tell him about this. Our lawyers

are going to put you in jail.

Mr. Miles, the CEO is firing me. What?

Hello? Hello?

Bummer. Not so tough now, are you?

Although, I can't wait to see how well

you do in jail.

Take him to the police, please. Now,

I can't go to jail. Please. No.

God, this is so thoughtful. Mattail,

you really want to marry my baby girl?

We'll just take these

plus um a new car and a mansion. You can

afford it, right, Mattail?

A minute ago, you were calling him a

liar and a loser.

You've been leeching off of me for

years. I'm not going to let you do the

same thing to Matteo. Why do you treat

me like a cash cow? Tell me, have I ever

even remotely been like a daughter to

you?

Of course, you're my daughter.

I fed you. I I I raised you. Do you have

any idea how much it cost me?

I think Khloe's mom is hiding something.

I need to look into this. Give us the

money.

You earned up.

My wife. You would have nothing. If it

wasn't for her, you'd be penniless.

So, I'm taking my things and I'm taking

her.

Trash the place.

What?

The whole place.

Come on.

No. No. My tail. Come on, man.

Please, we're family.

Understanding.

Well,

here we go.

Wait,

be honest.

Where did you get all of this stuff?

The guards, the money.

Who are you really?

All right, actually.

All right, actually.

What am I saying?

You've been my best friend since I was

18. You wouldn't hide anything from me.

God knows how much I needed that after

Sam dumped me, Maddie.

So,

what were you saying?

Oh. Uh, I was just going to say that,

uh,

actually, you're right. Um,

Mr. Miles borrowed all this stuff from

the CEO. He wanted to help me impress

your mom so that way she would stop

trying to send you off to a bunch of

rich old guys. So,

you did all of this

just for me?

Of course I did.

You're my best friend.

You've always been my best friend for a

long time. And now you're my wife

technically,

which means that I vow to protect you

and love you and serve you and

which speaking of protection,

we should probably put this on. Why is

my heart pounding? I'm not used to him

looking at me this way.

Oh, blocking. Okay. Uh, all right.

Wait,

before that

to say thank you.

um for saving me

again.

Yeah. Uh

yeah,

of course. Anytime.

Okay,

Chloe Pascal. 2 days after we break up

and you've moved on.

After all these years you've cheated on

me with your so-called best friend, I'll

make you regret treating me like a

goddamn fool.

Boss, you told me to dig in your wife's

family. Yep. Found something.

Wait, so Chloe and Jane were born on the

same day in the same hospital?

Yes. Yes, boss. The Ridley Ays that your

mother wants you to marry. Mrs. Pascal

was a helper for the Ridley family. And

maybe she swapped the two babies so that

way Jane could grow up and be the

Ridley. All right, Tom. Look, man. I

want you to go and get all the evidence

you can. Okay. Uh, and get a DNA test

for Chloe and her mom if she is her real

mom.

You got a boss.

Hey, great work.

Do I know you miss?

No, but you should. Jane Redley, the

richest ais in the city. I came back

from Europe ready to marry my childhood

sweetheart.

Of course, the secret CEO of Nailor. But

I've heard of it.

Well, Mr. Sheldon, you can imagine my

surprise when I found out that my man

was stolen from me

by Chloe Pascal,

your ex.

Wait,

you're telling me Matteo Lane is the

mysterious CEO of the biggest enterprise

in the country? Nella Lane,

you do the math, Mr. Sheldon.

This is why I came to you.

Mr. Sheldon,

we have the same enemies,

which makes us friends.

And lucky for you, I have the perfect

plan.

Maddie's been working so hard lately.

Can't wait for him to come home and see

this surprise dinner I made.

Who are you? Wait.

A

friend of ours wants to see you.

Come with us, honey.

Chloe, finally. I was starting to worry

you wouldn't wake up.

Where am I?

What do you want? Since your precious

husband ended our contract and basically

ruined my company, I thought I'd ruin

something he cared about, too.

You

Chloe.

Chloe.

She should be home by now.

Hello,

boss. Someone saw two men take your wife

into a minivan from your place.

Find her now.

See these? We bored in 2 hours. I'm

taking you somewhere. He'll never find

us and we'll get married.

You're crazy.

Matteo's going to find me and I'm never

going to marry you.

Guess I got to teach you to treat your

future husband with respect.

The drug. I'm still too dizzy.

This should keep me awake.

I'm going to kill you, [ __ ]

Come on. Come on. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

It doesn't hurt. I I just did it so I

could get back to you.

I'm sorry I'm late.

You're safe.

I'm back. Okay.

Keep her safe.

It's all good, man. Chloe and I were

just having a little spat

around the corner. Must be enough. What

do I do with the pieces of trash?

Damn.

All right, I'll give you a choice.

I'm going to keep your arms, your legs.

H

or

maybe I'll just snap her neck. No, no,

please. It wasn't my idea. It was Jane

Ridley.

She's jealous of Chloe and told me to

keep her away from you. She even sent

those two men to kidnap her from the

apartment. Jane Ridley?

Yeah, Matteo Lane. I know you're the

secret CEO. And I know your fianceé,

Miss Ridley.

You guys listen up. If she finds out who

I am, I'm going to [ __ ] know who it

was. I'll find you and I will kill you.

Do you understand? Call the [ __ ]

police.

I'm going to get you out of here.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you for saving me. Of

course,

Matteo. Hey. Hey. Whoa. Whoa. Chloe.

Chloe. Hey. Whoa. Stay with me. Stay.

Tom.

Oh my god. Chloe. Hi.

So glad you're okay.

I'm so sorry. I should have been there.

I could have taken care of you. I I

could have made sure that never

happened.

Stop.

You're the reason I'm here, not on some

airplane kidnapped to god knows where.

No,

you do make a pretty wonderful

best friend.

I know.

Actually, I was I was going to say you

make a pretty wonderful husband,

but Sam,

I mean, I know he's an [ __ ] but

drugging and abducting, I I didn't think

he was capable of that.

Maddie, do you think Do you think

someone else could be behind this?

It was Jane Ridley.

She's jealous of Chloe. But Teao Lane, I

know you're the secret Zo and I know

your fiance, Miss Ridley.

If I tell her my mother wants me to

marry Jane Ridley, the Ridley Eris,

she'll know I've been hiding my whole

identity to her. Actually, Chloe, you

know, I

Hey, Miss Pascal. How you feeling?

Hi. Oh, these are from the CEO himself.

He wishes for a speedy recovery.

Wow, these are beautiful.

He knows all my favorite flowers.

Tell him thank you for me, Mr. Miles.

Well,

whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey there, Tiger Slam.

I don't know if you know this, but

you're wounded. Okay. So,

yeah. And today is my first day as the

department director, and this wound is

not going to get in the way of that. So,

come on.

We have work to do.

I got to say, boss, you really found

yourself a special lady. Tell me about

it.

Damn. Good work on the flowers.

I told you to get her out of the

country.

What do you mean Matteo got her away?

Useless idiot. Forget it. You stay put

in jail. I'll deal with that [ __ ]

myself.

I don't care who you are to Matteo,

Chloe Pascal. I'm the Ridley Aerys and

I'll make sure your life is a living

hell until Matteo is mine.

First day as the department director.

You can do this, Chloe. This [ __ ] I've

been here longer than her and now she's

my boss. I have to do something about

her.

Chloe Pascal, where are you?

Mom.

Henry,

what are you doing here?

You got married behind our back and now

you're cutting us off.

I sacrificed so much for you and this is

how you repay me. I'm the one who's been

working since high school to pay for

your mortgage and your bills. Oh, this

is perfect. With her crazy family, I can

take this [ __ ] down.

Is this true, Chloe? You just got a

promotion and you don't even take care

of your own mother.

See, Chloe, even a stranger cares more

about us.

Would it kill you to give us some money?

You got a rich husband.

How can you treat your family like this?

You should be ashamed.

You know what? If you care so much about

them, why don't you marry my brother?

Then you can take care of them.

You're going to be sorry for talking to

me like this, [ __ ]

H. What do we have here?

Is this your proposal for the new

quarter? You must have spent months

working on this, huh? Chloe, don't.

No. I need that proposal. If it gets

selected, I'll get $20,000. I'll give it

to mom and she'll leave Matteo alone.

No. My proposal.

Guess you'll start your pathetic

proposal from scratch, [ __ ]

Hey,

what are you doing to my wife?

Mr. Miles, thank God Chloe was just

abusing her mother. I I tried to stop

her and she attacked me. You expect me

to believe that Chloe destroyed her own

laptop?

Nobody asked you. You're just an itiner.

What can you do?

You have no idea what I can do.

Wait. No.

All my work is in there. Are you [ __ ]

crazy?

Heard my wife again. You'll find out.

Mr. Miles, look at him. I'm scared. You

have to do something.

You're right.

I do need to do something.

You're going down, jerk. Have fun

visiting your jerk husband in prison.

Chloe,

you're fired, Gina. Order from the CEO.

Also, we'll make sure you're never hired

by any business affiliated with the

Unicorn.

Wait, what does that mean? It means that

you can't work for anyone who's

affiliated with an unicorn, which let me

just quue you in. That's Yeah, that's

every single business in the whole damn

city.

No.

Where do you think you're going? I'm not

leaving until I get my money. Chloe,

see this Chloe Pascal?

It's the ownership papers to your dead

grandma's house. I will burn this

godforsaken house down unless you tell

your precious husband to give us what

we're owed.

What you're owed.

We owe you nothing.

You have never loved me. Now you're

treating me and my husband like ATMs.

Stop wasting my time. Give me the money.

That's enough.

Joanne, tell you what. I gave you the

money.

What? No.

Yeah, baby. That's what I'm talking

about. Woo.

You might recall, I think it was

yesterday, I came by your house and I

brought $500,000 cash, right? This is a

$100,000 check. You're going to take it

or you're going to leave it?

That's enough for now. I'll squeeze the

rest out of you anyway.

Another condition. You're going to give

Chloe her grandma's house back today.

Of course. I don't want that stupid

house anyway. She can take it.

One more condition.

Come on, Matiel. Let's be reasonable.

After all, we're family now.

No, I have never been, nor will I ever

be your [ __ ] family in this universe

or another.

Now, you listen to me. You are never

ever going to come near my wife again.

Do you understand? Cuz if you do, I will

take everything you [ __ ] have.

Are we clear?

Okay,

come with me.

10 years.

That's the first time she's held my hand

like that.

It feels so

right.

Come on now.

Okay. Okay. First of all,

are you locking the door?

Matteo Lane,

did you just offer my mom $100,000 so

she would leave me alone?

Is she mad?

Maybe it's time I just told her my

identity. Okay, look. Yes, but I only do

that because I'm actually

Maddie. I'm I'm so sorry. I I didn't

mean anything.

That was the best kiss that I have ever

had with my wife.

Just one second. Oh.

Just take this. It has 50,000 on it.

That's what I have in savings right now.

But I'm going to keep working so I can

pay you back everything. And

Chloe,

you're not going to pay me a damn scent.

You're my wife now. Remember?

I know, but I I don't want to be a

burden to you. You've been taking so

and you have never been a burden

ever.

Um, I need to go back to work now. Since

Gina destroyed my laptop, I'm going to

have to completely rewrite my proposal.

So,

but we can head home together afterward.

Home. It sounds so different now that

it's our home.

Tom, hey, I need to get that uh DNA test

from Chloe and her mom. Also, could you

please try to get Mr. Ridley to give us

a sample? It's time to figure out who

Khloe's real family is.

Chloe Pascal, this is all your fault.

You're going to pay for this.

Excuse me. Did I overhear you say the

name Chloe Pascal? Jane Ridley. What if

I told you I had a plan to bring her

down?

I'm in. Tell me more.

Okay. Hey, let's get you to bed.

Get cold out here.

That's my girl. She nailed it.

She needs rest. Yeah. I'm just going to

wrap this up for her.

I can't believe I fell asleep last

night. I have to finish this.

Wait.

Wait. My presentation's done.

Am I dreaming? If I win that bonus,

Maddie is not going to have to work so

hard.

You think you'll get the bonus and the

CEO's attention with this proposal,

Chloe? Never.

I have your original documents now,

Chloe. Wait until I tell everyone that

you stole my proposal.

All proposals have been received. The

winner will be announced at our company

banquet tonight.

Did you hear?

The first prize winner get a $20,000

bonus.

What?

Oh my god. Do you think the CEO is going

to be?

Quit dreaming. No one even knows what

the CEO looks like except for his

assistant.

I don't care about the CEO as long as

Maddie is there for me.

Maddie, come to the banquet tonight.

I'll win that prize for us.

Tom.

Yeah. Get a dress for Chloe and then the

most expensive one they've got, please.

No, we uh we're going to the banquet

tonight. We uh we're going to the

banquet tonight.

Is that Chloe?

You recognize her?

Her dress is fabulous. And that IT guy

she married, he looks fine in that suit.

Good evening everyone.

Before I announce the proposal of our

contest winner, I'd like for you to join

me and welcome a special guest, the

famous Ridley Harris, Miss Jane Ridley.

What is Jane doing here?

You think you can just marry another

woman and get rid of me? Matteo,

isn't that the name Sam mentioned when

he kidnapped me?

Friend of ours wants to see you.

Come with us, honey.

Maybe I'll just snap the neck.

No, no, please. It wasn't my idea. It

was Jane Ridley.

I must have misheard Sam. Miss Ridley is

a famous aerys. Why would he know her?

Pleasure to be here tonight. As some of

you may know, the CEO of Nella Corp is a

very dear friend of mine, and I have the

honor of announcing the winner on his

behalf.

The winner is

Miss Chloe Pascal.

Wait, she stole my proposal.

Let's see what Matteo does when he

realizes he's married a thief and a

liar.

Jok went to jail for stealing my man,

[ __ ]

Did you really think that you could

steal my proposal and nobody would find

out?

What? I did. I didn't steal anything.

I'm sure this is just a

misunderstanding.

I can testify for Chloe, okay? I read

every inch of her entire proposal. I can

tell you she didn't steal anything.

Okay.

A Aren't you a good husband? Siding with

this sneaky thief.

Miss Ridley, meet Khloe's nerd IT

husband working in the basement.

An IT guy. So, Matteo hid his CEO

identity at his own company just to be

with this [ __ ] Chloe.

Matteo's telling the truth. I've spent

days on this project. It's all my own

work.

Wait,

it was you. You stole my proposal from

my computer.

Something isn't right.

Is Jane behind all this?

I I don't know what you're talking

about. Don't you dare free me, you dirty

thief.

Miss Pascal, I think it's best you admit

what you did.

Exactly, Chloe.

Get your dirty paws off my trophy.

Criminal.

All right. Very well, Gina. If you're

saying that this is your proposal,

why don't you do a presentation

right here, right now?

Top, I need you to get both of Chloe's

and Gina's proposals here and check the

security footage now.

This is a company banquet. We don't have

time for your nonsense.

Why are you so nervous, Gina?

Is it maybe because this isn't your

proposal and you have no idea what it's

about?

Come on, Gina. Just show them you really

made the proposal.

That's right, Gina. Show her. You think

you've got me, [ __ ] I put my name on

the original file. Everyone's going to

believe me.

Fine. I'll show you. Just you wait. Once

I prove you're the real liar here, you

will both apologize to me on your knees.

That's the original file of my proposal.

Chloe, are you delusional or just

stupid? Don't you see my name here?

So, the proposal really is Gina's? How

can Chloe lie like this?

She better apologize now or Gina can

send her to jail.

Come on, Chloe.

Get down on your knees and apologize.

I'll never apologize to a thief.

I think we've heard enough.

Miss Pascal, stealing an original

proposal is a serious crime. I'll need

to have security remove you and turn you

into the police.

Hold it right there.

What if we could prove that Gina took

the presentation from Chloe's computer?

Everyone knows you're married to this

lying snake. No one's going to believe

your fake proof, idiot.

Don't talk to him like that.

I'll talk to him however I want. You're

the ones trying to frame me in front of

the whole company.

Tick tock, Chloe, time is running out.

Beg for my forgiveness before it's too

late.

Listen to me, Gina. I will never ever

beg a viper like you. Security, what are

you waiting for? Get this thief out of

here.

Hey, hey, hold on. Hold it right there.

Mr. Miles, we're so sorry. This

troublemaker was just leaving.

Miss Pascal isn't the troublemaker. You

are.

Gina Gibson took Ky Pascal's proposal

and I have the evidence right here in my

hand.

This footage shows Gina Gibson going

through Khloe Pascal's laptop, stealing

her proposal.

That That's not true, sir. I was just

The CEO wasn't happy.

That's why you asked me to investigate

this myself. This is your last chance to

admit your crimes, Miss Gibson.

Yes, I I took Khloe's proposal. Just

please don't call the police. I can't

believe she's a thief. We never should

have doubted Chloe.

Gina, I think you owe Chloe a massive,

massive apology. We haven't got all day.

Let's go.

I'm sorry, Chloe. I shouldn't have

stolen your proposal.

Please forgive me.

I'm sorry, Gina, but my forgiveness is

just like this trophy.

You're unworthy of it.

Take her to the police.

Wait, no. Don't arrest me. This This was

all her idea. She She put me up to this.

What? Why would I frame Miss Pascal? I

don't even know her.

You're lying. This whole thing was your

plan.

I'm the Ridley Aerys, Miss Gibson. I'm

from one of the most powerful families

in town, and I really don't like being

framed. Take this to your grave, Gina,

or I'll make sure you never get out of

that jail. Security.

Take her to the police.

No. No.

Now that the mess is dealt with. Ladies

and gentlemen, I hereby present the

award and the bonus to Miss Chloe

Pascal.

That's 20,000, Maddie.

This way we can actually pay back some

of those loans.

Silly girl. You're working too hard. I

should have tripled the prize. Maddie

Matteo,

it's been a while, hasn't it?

Matteo, how do you know the Ridley erys?

Matteo and I go way back, don't we?

More like acquaintances, really.

Well, I guess there's still a lot of

things we need to learn about the man

you married.

My family's having a charity gala this

weekend. We're one of the biggest

business partners of the company. And

since your proposal won the contest,

you're invited.

Wow. Oh, this is such an honor. Thank

you, Miserly.

You should bring your husband along. I

mean, who knows? You might finally get

to meet the mysterious Nell Corp CEO

there.

This is so exciting. I I can't wait.

Um,

please excuse me. I need to go to the

lady's room, but it was a pleasure

meeting you, Ms. Ridley. We'll see you

at the gala.

Finally, we can talk. What's

Whatever you're doing, you need to stop

it now. Jane,

I don't know what you're talking about.

Really? I know that you helped Sam

kidnap Chloe. I also know that you

framed Gina to try to get her put in

jail.

So what if I did? She's a manstealing

[ __ ] I went abroad for a few years and

when I come back, I find out you're

married.

She's not stealing me. I chose her.

Look, I was never going to marry you.

That was just a decision that our

families made. Look at me.

Now, I'm going to say this

one time. She's my wife. You're going to

leave her alone. Understood. Have a good

day, Miss.

You think you can have it all, Chloe

Pascal?

You wait until I wake you up from this

fairy tale dream.

Hey, Chloe.

Um,

I I got you this.

Maddie, what did you get me this time?

Just Just open it, will you? Please.

So, I changed the locks on your

grandma's house, which means that it's

it's yours officially.

And that also means that your family

can't try to take it from you ever

again.

Manny, this is the nicest gift anyone's

ever given me.

I mean, what are best friends for,

right?

be with me tonight.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

I want this. I want you.

Wait, wait, wait. You do know that if we

burn this bridge, there's no going back.

You know, you know that.

I know.

I want you to be more than just my best

friend.

You have no idea how long I've been

waiting to hear you say that.

I'm telling you who I really am tonight.

I don't want to keep this secret between

us anymore.

Tom, what do you want, man? It's 7:00

a.m. on a Saturday.

What?

I'm coming. I'm on my way.

Okay, Tom, what do you got?

The DNA results are back, boss. It's

confirmed. Mrs. Pascal and her mother

are not related.

This makes sense. This is why her mom

and her brother treat her so badly.

There's one more thing.

It's a match.

Yeah.

I need to tell Chloe that she's not her

mom's daughter, but the real he aires to

one of the richest men in the country.

But I also have to tell her that I'm

actually the billionaire CEO of her

company.

How the hell am I going to do that,

Matteo?

Never worn something like this before,

but it's it's the Ridley Gala, so I

thought

Is it too much? I

You look perfect.

Don't look too bad yourself, Merling.

Thanks.

She seems so excited. I don't want to

disrupt the night by revealing the DNA

result in my identity.

I can't wait to tell Maddie I'm pregnant

with his baby

and that I've fallen for him for real.

I'll tell her tonight. I promise.

Jane, it's the mysterious CEO of Nella

Court really coming.

I have a friend who once saw him in

Europe and she said he's super hot.

Is it true you two are childhood

sweethearts and basically you're

engaged?

I won't kiss and tell, but I'll tell you

this. After tonight, I'll make sure he's

mine.

Isn't that Chloe Pascal,

the winner of the Nalaore Penal

Proposal?

She's so pretty, smart, and beautiful.

I'm so jealous. And look at her date.

He's stunning. Who's he? They look so

perfect together.

Chloe, you [ __ ] How dare you steal my

thunder at my family gala?

Miss Pascal, I see you made it. I bet

it's the first time you've attended a

party like this, isn't it? Matteo,

you look good. I see you're still bow

with bow ties.

Miss Ridley, I see what you're trying to

do, and I'm going to have to ask you to

stop.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Matteo and I are old friends. That may

be true, but he's my husband now,

and you're going to learn to respect

that. Let me go. Are you crazy? What's

crazy is you thinking that you can walk

around the playground trying to steal

other people's toys without

consequences.

It's not going to make you many friends,

is it?

Thank you for having us. I think we're

going to walk around a little. As you

said,

never been to a party like this. Better

make the most of it.

You sneaky [ __ ] Chloe Pascal. I'm

telling the whole world who Mattail

really is.

Good evening. Thank you all for

attending the Ridley Charity Gala. As a

Ridley Aerys, I have an important

announcement to make.

Wait, that's my family heirloom.

This ring belongs to the Nella

Corporation. That's right. I'm engaged

to the CEO of Nella Court.

In fact, he's here in this room.

Ladies and gentlemen, Matteo Lane, the

CEO in hiding.

What is she talking about?

Listen to me, okay? Don't listen to her.

You own Nella Corp?

Yes. Nella Lane.

Wait,

be honest.

Where did you get all of this stuff? The

guards, the money.

Who are you really?

Yeah, Mr. Miles borrowed all this stuff

from the CEO.

Hey,

why would you lie to me?

I did. You think that I was going to

come after your money?

No. No. 10 years. I've known you for 10

years. If you were my best friend,

I am. I am. I thought you were the one

person in this world that I could

actually trust. You can, Chloe.

No, it was wrong.

I'm begging you. Okay? Just

please please don't listen to her. Okay?

Let let me explain. I can

then explain the explain why you lied to

me. Explain why you married me, but

there is another woman wearing your

family's heirloom wedding ring.

I don't know how she got the ring. Okay,

listen. I promise you on my whole life,

I have no idea how she got that. I did

not give that to her. I don't know.

I gave it to her.

Mom,

I'm going to say this once and one time

only. So, you listen. Legally, Chloe is

my wife. Do you understand? So that ring

does not belong to her. It belongs to

Chloe.

That ring is worth $10 million, Matteo.

It's our most valuable family heirloom.

There is no way I am letting it go to

this

lowly nobody.

I thought she was some a herself.

All dled up like that. Turns out she's

just a wannabe gold digger. That's

embarrassing.

Well, I guess spreading her legs only

got her this far.

I didn't know who Matteo was. I wasn't

with him for the money. And

I've never asked anything of him.

Even if that was true, I still don't

approve of this marriage. Just look at

Jane. She's a Ridley. richest family in

this city. She can help our business

reach a new height.

But you

nothing

and you have nothing to offer.

I had attorneys draft this divorce

paper. Sign it now.

Here's $1 billion. Divorce Matteo and

it's yours.

Okay, that's enough. Listen,

I will never take your money and I will

never be part of your world walking all

over people just because you're rich and

powerful.

So,

I'll sign Chloe.

You don't have to do this.

Look, it really hurts knowing that you

have been lying to me this whole time.

But I think I understand why you did it.

You and I come from very different

worlds and being best friends and

pretending that was that was the only

way for us to actually be in each

other's lives.

You ready to burn the bridge? Because

once we do, there's no turning back.

Yes, I'm ready, Matteo.

I'm ready to be more than just best

friends with you.

I fell for you and that's why I'm losing

you now.

Wait,

Daddy, I thought you were at a

conference in Europe.

I'm the one who invited Derek here.

And I'm glad you did, Matteo. Otherwise,

I wouldn't have known that Jane was

using our family gala as a chance to

bully your wife.

Derek, what are you talking about? No

one is bullying anyone here. I'm just

trying to talk some sense into her. Of

course, she can't compete with your

daughter. That's just the truth.

That's right. She's about to sign the

divorce papers and leave with a check.

She's nothing but a greedy gold digger.

Daddy,

didn't you just bribe her with the check

that she ripped in half? Or am I

mistaken?

You should be ashamed of yourself, Jane.

What you've done is in no way how a true

Ridley would behave.

But Daddy, I should be Mary Matteo. I'm

the Ridley Aerys.

Indeed, Derek. Only your daughter is

worthy enough of my son.

Wait a minute. So, the only reason that

the two of you want me to marry her is

because you think that she's the Ridley

Aerys?

Yes.

Yes.

I have a DNA test result right here that

proves that you are not in the family.

You are not the Ridleys.

Chloe

is the Ridley. Or should I say

Chloe Ridley?

What do What do you mean? I couldn't

understand, you see, why your mom could

talk to you and treat you so poorly like

she did. So, I just kind of

instinctually did some digging. Turns

out your mom, Joanne,

was just a helper of the Ridleys. In

fact, the two of you were born on the

same night. So, she swapped the two of

you so you could grow up in wealth and

become the Ridley.

Let me see that DNA result.

Sure.

So, this is why Tom came to me and asked

for my DNA, Sam. Yep.

All these years I've been away from my

real daughter.

This is impossible.

This is a fake. Don't you see it?

They're trying to steal my family

fortune.

Daddy, wake up. You old fool. Don't let

them trick you. I'm your real daughter,

you idiot.

I never laid a finger on you, Jean. Not

when you disobeyed me. Not even when

Matteo came to me with evidence that you

kidnapped Chloe and framed her for

theft.

If you've been a good daughter, a good

person,

I would have taken care of you even if

you weren't my daughter. But you've

shown your true colors, Jane. I hereby

disown you.

You can't disown me.

I may be an old fool, Jane, but I still

call the shots in the Ridley family.

Lane, you believe me, right? I'm the

real Ridley Eris. She's a desperate

thief and so is he. He faked the DNA

results.

My son may have disobeyed me and married

a woman without my blessing, but I will

not let you call him a liar. I am wrong

about you, Jane. I sided with you

because I thought you would be good for

my son. But I see it now. You don't care

about him. You just want our family

fortune. You stubborn witch. Hey,

you're going to insult Chloe right in

front of my [ __ ] face and then put

your hands on my mom after you stole

from us your whole [ __ ] life.

You're going to give back what you

stole.

No, that's that's my engagement ring.

It's not your ring.

This is my wife's ring.

Chloe, I promised to you on my entire

life. I I really did not know that you

were the really Aerys when we met. I

swear. But what I do know,

I know that I was scared. I was

terrified of telling you the truth cuz I

just I didn't want to lose what we had.

But I also know that I was so so wrong.

Look, you're not just my best friend,

okay?

Your family.

So I

I'm begging you

if you can please forgive me.

I do. All I've ever wanted is just a

best friend

that I can call my husband.

That's you.

Really?

No, you [ __ ] You stole everything from

me.

I'm going to kill you, [ __ ]

I think of the police.

Oh my gosh, you're hurt. No,

it's fine.

Chloe, why are you bleeding? Hey. Hey.

What? Chloe. Huh? Call that woman right

now. Chloe. Chloe. Hey. Hey. Hey. Stay

with me. Stay with me. Hey. Hey.

Oh, I'm so glad you're awake.

I thought that I lost you. What?

The baby.

The baby is healthy and safe and sound

just like you.

You saved me.

You saved our baby.

I can't believe we're going to have a

baby.

Our baby.

Your baby.

Your baby.

Hey, Mom. Chloe just woke up, so

whatever you're here for.

Matteo, I just want to talk to her.

It's okay, Matteo.

Mr. Lane, just hear me out.

You married my son behind my back, then

you got him hurt. And now you're telling

me that you're carrying his child. I

don't even know what to say

except thank you.

Yes, maybe I was shocked to find out

about you. And yes, maybe I cared too

much about him marrying the right girl

from the right family.

But seeing everything you've gone

through together, I can see that you are

the right girl for him.

And she is, it turns out, from the right

family,

Mr. Absolutely.

I know it'll take some time to get used

to this, Chloe, but call me dad.

You're my real daughter,

and the rightful Ridley Eris.

All of my trophies and treasures will be

yours one day.

What I did was unacceptable, and I'd

like to apologize.

I brought a peace offering, a belated

wedding gift for you. It's the matching

necklace to the diamond ring.

The most precious heirloom of the Lane

family.

It's the matching necklace to the

diamond ring. The most precious heirloom

of the Lane family. I trusted that ring

to the wrong woman. Chloe, this time I

want to make things right.

Thank you, Mrs. L.

There you have it. You are officially a

part of the Lane family now

and our baby.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. I

was planning on telling you after the

Gallup.

No, no, no, no. Hey, it's my fault. I

should have told you who I really was.

No,

Matt.

You stood by me for 10 years. You've

protected me from my family. You gave me

a house when I needed it most. No one

knows me or loves me the way you do.

See that? Mommy and daddy are getting

married

again.

They say

that if you get to marry your best

friend, you're the lucky one.

For 11 years, Matteo Lane, you were my

best friend

until one night.

You became more than that.

And I wasn't sure at first. I didn't

want to lose you. And I was afraid to

take that leap. But time after time, you

showed me

it's okay to take those chances when

you're with the one that you love.

And that's you.

It's always been you.

I love you, Matteo.

I've loved you since the day that I met

you.

And then when I was scared to tell you

everything about me, show you every

piece of me,

reveal my secrets, things that no one

else knows.

You made that so safe. and

and then I fell in love with you so much

more in ways I didn't even know was

possible.

You truly are my best friend and I love

you. So, Chloe,

what do you say to being best friends

forever?

Yes,

forever and ever.

Heat. Heat.
