Alright, ladies.

Today we'll be learning

how to do a pelvic ultrasound

Cora

we'll use you for our demonstration.

Yes, Dr. Mills.

Now, take a close look.

This is what a typical uterus...

See that dark spot?

That's a gestational sac.

I read about it in a book.

Cora is pregnant!

Who's the father?

Wait, isn't she single?

OMG, what a slut!

Wow, I guess Little Miss Perfect is

not so innocent after all.

Her love life must be a mess.

She should be expelled for that.

That's enough.

That was a polyp, not a fetus,

so no more gossiping.

Is that clear?

Now listen.

Our new visiting professor,

Dr. Hawkins,

will be here any minute.

He's not only a brilliant researcher

but also the sponsor of this program.

And he'll be handpicking interns

for his company.

So if you want a shot at the job,

cut the drama.

That's all for today.

Dismissed.

Slut!

Cora,

can I talk to you for a second?

Yes, Dr. Mills.

Earlier,

I told the class it was a polyp.

But the truth is, it's not.

It is a fetus.

Wait, what?

So I'm actually pregnant?

What am I supposed to do?

Well, first things first.

You should probably tell the father.

Howdy there, sweetheart.

Join us for a drink?

Out of my-

Don't be shy.

We'll show you a good time.

Stop!

You got the wrong girl.

Seriously!

Now, don't be

pretend to be all innocent now

Stop!

Look at that cute red bra.

Come on.

Stop!

Come on, open wide.

Let go of me!

Stop!

Somebody!

Oh no!

Somebody help!

Oh no!

Let her go!

Who is he?

Who the hell are you?

Get him!

Wait, look at his wrist.

That's an Aura Celeste.

Twenty million on his wrist.

Fuck.

We can't afford to mess with this guy.

Clear out.

Now!

Shit.

God.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Hey, hey.

Oh my God.

Are you alright?

I think I was drugged.

What do you need?

Help me.

My car.

It's

it's in the back lot.

Okay.

Hey, hey.

Hey, are you okay?

Here, I got you.

He's nothing like the others.

He's

gentle

and so handsome.

Is this from when he saved me?

I'm sorry.

It's the drugs.

They're messing with my head.

They make me want you

too much.

His skin.

He's burning up.

I need to help him.

I want to help him.

You smell

so sweet.

I'm sorry.

It's the drug.

Will you

be gentle

and teach me how?

Is this your first time?

Then I'll go slow.

And I'll be a good teacher.

He's inside.

And I don't want him to stop.

No.

It was a mistake.

A one time thing.

But I'm keeping the baby.

In case you change your mind,

there are other options

available. - I won't

change my mind.

My mom passed away

a few weeks ago

I had no one.

But now,

I'll have the baby.

My baby...

What am I supposed to do with you?

This is a Dr. Hawkins' class,

the new rotating professor.

Good thing we got here early.

First row seats.

Did you hear about the new professor?

What was his name again?

Dr. Hawkins.

I heard Dr. Hawkins is rich,

powerful, and hot.

God, I hope he's single.

Okay, well, I heard that

Dr. Hawkins owns

like a billion medical laboratories.

There's no way that he would fall

for an average medical student.

Oh wow.

He's younger than I thought

and way hotter.

I'm Damon Hawkins,

entrepreneur, investor,

and your guest lecturer

for this semester's course

on Medical Entrepreneurship

and Innovation.

I'll be selecting

one outstanding student

to be my assistant

on a confidential research project.

No.

Oh my God!

It's him!

My baby daddy is my professor?

Do I know you?

Do I know you?

No.

Um,

I don't think so, Dr. Hawkins.

Is there a problem, Hawkins?

Ah, no.

Nothing at all.

Well, this is Cora.

In fact, she's one of our top students.

She's been involved

in almost every research project

you said you were interested in.

So, if you're looking

for a research assistant,

she'd be an excellent choice.

He doesn't remember me.

Why would he?

He's rich and powerful.

I was probably just another lay to him.

Very well.

I'll assign her to be my new RA.

Oh my gosh, Cora!

You hit the jackpot!

You're going to be

Hawkins' new assistant!

Congratulations!

Do I tell him that a woman

he doesn't even remember

is now carrying his child?

Would he even want anything

to do with us?

Boss, why'd you pick that Cora girl

to be your assistant?

You into her?

If you have time to chit chat,

you have time to be working.

The girl from the bar that night,

have you been able to track her down?

I still got nothing.

Boss, if I may,

why are you so determined

to find that girl anyway?

Because she saved me that night.

I owe her everything

I can't let Dr. Hawkins know I'm pregnant.

With his status and money.

he could take my baby

and I'd have no way to fight back.

This child is my everything.

I won't let anyone take that.

Dr. Smith.

Cora.

I think it's best

if you pick someone else

to be Dr. Hawkins' RA.

Cora

this is a

once in a lifetime opportunity

I recommended you

because I know your family situation.

You impress Dr. Hawkins,

this could be your golden ticket

for your future career.

He doesn't remember me anyway.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Okay.

Okay, I'll do it.

Thank you

for the opportunity.

Yeah.

Come on, get in there.

He's waiting on you.

Boss

Miss Johnson is here.

Morning, Dr. Hawkins.

I'll be assisting you

with your research.

If you have any questions

about what we've done so far,

I'd be happy to help.

Alright.

Tell me,

what do you know

about T cell immunotherapy?

It's a type of experimental therapy

that extracts T-cells from the patient.

genetically modifies them in vitro,

and then reintroduces them

to the patient to directly...

Her voice is intoxicating.

That's my understanding

of our current progress.

You're Cora, right?

Are you sure

that we've never met before?

Boss, you're scaring her.

Dr. Hawkins.

Damn it, Damon.

The girl that you should be

thinking about

is the one that saved you that night.

Miss Johnson,

I'm sorry.

I thought I saw something

on your shirt.

If I crossed the line, I apologize.

Dr. Hawkins

if you don't require anything further,

I'll excuse myself

You know, boss, if you're into her,

you could just ask her out.

Look, I'm not supposed to

tell you this

but, your grandma's on live TV right now,

and she's trying to get you a wife-

Who said that I'm into her?

Wait, my grandma's doing what?

See for yourself.

Ms. Evelyn,

what can you tell us about Damon?

And as I was saying

he is only 32.

He is incredibly handsome,

and not only is he incredibly handsome,

he is filthy rich.

So, Damon Hawkins

is looking for his lucky bride,

and that could be you.

Great.

Grandma's at it again.

I mean, can you blame her?

All that wealth and no heir?

I'd be scared too.

Save it!

Your only job right now

is to find that girl

that I met at the bar.

Understood, boss

That's exactly what I was saying.

Look, Alyssa, there goes Cora Johnson.

Dr. Hawkins picked her

to be his research assistant today.

Fucking social climber bitch.

Ew, Damon chose that Cora slut?

Disgusting

Cora Johnson.

A broke bitch like you

doesn't deserve to be anywhere

near Dr. Hawkins.

How is that any of your business?

Alyssa's dad is one of the biggest

investors of our university.

close to Dr. Hawkins. Her family's super

If you had a shred of self preservation,

you'd give that RA spot to her.

If you have a problem,

address it directly to Dr. Hawkins.

Don't bother me.

What did you get for lunch, girl?

Oh, this is it for today.

Oh my God.

Are you nauseous?

I knew it.

You are pregnant

She's pregnant?

What a filthy whore.

You know, I know you can't afford rent,

but you didn't have to spread your legs

to get it.

I bet she doesn't even know

who the father is.

Wait.

Do you think it's from that time

when we saw her at the nightclub

last month?

That's enough!

She probably just has a stomach bug.

You can't say stuff without proof.

If she isn't lying,

then prove it.

Come with me to the bathroom.

And pee on the stick.

If it's negative,

I'll get on my knees

and grovel in front of the whole school

Wow Stacy that is a brilliant idea.

What's wrong, Cora?

Scared?

I don't owe you or anyone proof.

And just to be clear.

there's nothing wrong

with being pregnant.

If your moms weren't pregnant

you wouldn't be here

running your fat mouths.

You bitch!

You can't even afford to feed yourself. feed yourself.

How many more men

are you going to sleep with

to take care of the baby, huh?

That's none of your business.

And besides,

why do you even have

a pregnancy test

in your purse in the first place?

Worried you might need it?

They passed them out

in class yesterday.

Whatever!

Cora Johnson,

you're a big fat liar.

Okay.

If you truly have nothing to hide,

pee on the stick.

Like I said

I don't owe anyone an explanation.

Especially not you, Alyssa.

She's lying.

Stacy,

go tell the faculty that she's unfit

to be Dr. Hawkins' assistant.

Gladly.

Don't you dare.

Dr. Hawkins is here for research.

Whether I'm pregnant or not

has nothing to do with him.

Shut up, okay?

You're nothing

but a slut with a bastard child

that you can't even feed.

They'll kick you out

once they realize

you can't afford tuition.

Why is he here?

Did he hear what Stacy was saying?

What on earth is going on here?

Cora's pregnant.

What?

No, I can't let him know

I'm carrying his baby

It would ruin everything.

You're pregnant?

No, it's not true

I just was nauseous at lunch.

They're making stuff up.

Stacy,

are you spreading rumors again?

Consider your scholarship revoked.

Dr. Smith, we were just concerned

that someone who's pregnant

can't handle the research.

Damon

she's just a poor girl from the boonies

My dad's the president

of the school.

Let me be your research

assistant instead.

That's Dr. Hawkins to you.

I've worked with your father for years,

but that gives you

no special privileges.

Is that all you brought for lunch?

Uh,

I just wasn't hungry today.

Well, you're under my supervision now.

Nobody on my team skips a meal.

Come on, let's get you a proper lunch.

Alyssa,

this is a medical college,

not one of your family's

annual Christmas parties.

I don't care

how powerful your family is.

If you keep up these shenanigans,

I'll be forced

to take disciplinary action.

The entire time I've known Damon,

he's never had a wife or a girlfriend.

So what makes Cora different?

You're sure she's pregnant, right?

A hundred percent.

The nausea, the ultrasound.

Someone knocked her up.

Fine.

If she won't admit it,

then we'll just have to make her talk.

That stupid little fetus

growing inside of her

will never make it out alive.

Lure her into the storage room

and I'll handle the rest.

Oh, uh, I'm good.

Monsieur,

Mademoiselle.

Bon appetit.

Eat.

You'll need your protein.

We've got a long day in the lab.

Okay.

Are you okay?

Cora, be honest

Is it really just the nausea?

I,

um...

I don't like when people lie to me.

So tell me the truth.

I'm pregnant.

I promise it won't interfere

with the research

but I understand

if you want to replace me.

Just please don't tell anyone.

You're what

a third-year med student?

Are you and the father still together?

Does it matter?

Of course it matters.

It's your life.

Your child's life.

Did he walk out on you?

Why is she getting under my skin

like this?

She's just a student

My assistant.

Look,

never mind what he did.

Your life is in your hands now.

I'm keeping you on

as long as the work is solid.

And I promise not to say a word

to anyone else.

Thank you,

Dr. Hawkins

It's alright.

Just tell me, what is your plan after?

I'll finish out the semester.

I'll take a gap year

to have the baby.

You're throwing away

three years of med school

for a coward that dumped you?

I'm not doing this for him.

I'm doing it for me.

Dr. Smith told me

about your financial situation.

You can barely afford lunch.

How are you planning

to raise a child?

I'll start working again.

I'll save what I can.

No matter what

I'm protecting this baby.

Hello?

Oh, she needs some now.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Sorry, Dr. Hawkins,

Dr. Mills needs me.

She needs something

from the storage room.

See you at the lab?

Yeah

see you.

Thanks again.

She's pregnant, poor, single,

vulnerable.

Why do I want to be the one

to protect her,

to save her?

What are you doing?

You slut.

I tried to sleep with you for years

and you ignored me

just to get knocked up

by some no-name prick.

You tricked me.

Dr. Mills didn't need anything.

You set me up.

Damon doesn't let women

get close to him,

so do tell, Cora,

what tricks did you use to seduce him?

I didn't do anything.

He picked me to be his RA

because I know the research best.

That's all.

Yeah, right.

I suspected that you wouldn't spill, so

Stacy,

feed her the pill.

You said you're not pregnant, right?

In that case

this chemical abortion pill

should have no effect on you.

How could you do this to me?

You're all in school to be doctors.

You know the risks.

Uterine damage, infertility.

massive internal hemorrhaging.

You'd risk all of that

just to humiliate me?

Well, well, well.

Seems like consequences

are a bitter pill to swallow.

No.

No, no, no!

Stop!

Let me go!

No!

Hold her down.

Cora, if you're not pregnant,

then what's the big deal?

Open your fucking mouth

and take the pills.

No!

Boss

you've been acting different

since your lunch with Cora.

Did she say something

that pissed you off?

She's pregnant.

What?

The father's not even in the picture.

Whoever he is,

he is a goddamn asshole!

She wants to keep the baby. She's willing to throw away

her entire future

for this child.

It's too bad.

I really thought you liked her.

Enough!

What's important now

is finding the girl from the bar,

the one that helped me that night.

Have you found any trace of her?

Yeah.

Wait, what?

Are you sure?

Boss

it's Cora.

The girl that saved you that night

at the bar is none other

than your research assistant

Cora Johnson.

What?

Are you,

are you sure?

Look, that is definitely her.

That means that

the child she's carrying...

Could be yours.

So, uh,

sorry, boss,

but I guess that damn asshole

was you all along.

I'm gonna be a father.

Where is she right now?

Stop it!

I'm pregnant!

I can't take the pill

I knew it.

Your lies got me in trouble.

So now

So now,

you're gonna pay.

No!

Please!

Fess up, bitch.

Who's the baby daddy?

That's none of your business.

Fine.

If you won't tell us,

then we'll just have to make sure

there's no baby left

What a coincidence.

We just went over abortion pills

in class this week

How did it go again?

That's right.

First,

your uterus starts cramping so bad

that it feels like your bones

are breaking from the inside.

And, you know,

if you're lucky.

it'll last a few hours.

If not,

it can last for days.

Either way, it won't be an experience

you'll forget.

Please!

No!

Please!

Stop!

Somebody!

Cora!

Cora!

Where the hell is she?

She told me to meet her here.

I'll give Miss Johnson a call.

Boss, she's not picking up.

You think something happened to her?

Sorry, Dr. Hawkins,

Dr. Mills needs me.

She needs something

from the storage room.

The storage room.

Cora!

Shh!

He left.

No!

No one's coming to save you.

Help!

You can't!

Dr. Hawkins is the dad!

If you touch me again,

he'll destroy every last one of you.

You trashy whore.

You wormed your way

into Damon's bed.

I will never

let you have his baby

No!

Fine!

If you won't take the pills,

then we'll just have to do it

the surgical way.

No!

Please!

Stop!

Please!

Hold her down!

Stop!

No!

Go to hell, bitch!

Get your hands off her!

Drop it now!

Dr. Hawkins!

Cora.

Damon

Cora's pregnant with some hobo's baby.

We're just

trying to teach her a lesson, right?

She's mine!

If you ever do anything

to hurt her

I will destroy you!

Wait, what?

Adam, teach them a lesson.

I'm the Wilson family heiress.

Don't you dare touch me.

You're right, Miss Wilson.

I can't hurt you.

But Dr. Hawkins is mad.

Someone needs to pay.

How do you feel about

your two little yes men?

I want you to teach them a lesson.

Now!

Are you happy?

Ecstatic.

This is all that bitch Cora's fault.

I'm gonna destroy her!

Doctor,

is the exam over?

Is she okay?

Shh.

There.

That's the baby's heartbeat.

This is our baby.

I need to give Cora and this child.

a home.

No.

I will.

Cora should recover from her injuries, but she's severely malnourished.

The baby's doing fine for now,

but they'll both need proper nutrition

and medical treatment

moving forward.

I understand.

Thank you.

Malnutrition in this day and age?

She must have been starving.

All she ate today was a tiny sandwich.

She probably hasn't had

a proper meal in weeks.

Well, that stops now.

From now on,

Miss Johnson will be under your care.

She'll never have to worry about food

or money ever again.

Dr. Hawkins?

You're awake.

How are you?

I'm so sorry, Dr. Hawkins.

I didn't mean for you

to get... - No!

Please don't apologize.

This is my responsibility.

You're carrying my baby after all.

No, Dr. Hawkins.

I think there's been

some misunderstanding.

This child has

nothing to do with you.

A month ago

at the Nightshade Bar,

I was drugged.

And you were the one who saved me,

weren't you?

If I'm not the father

who is?

I was at that bar.

but I didn't see you there.

Miss Johnson,

why can't you just admit it?

If you're pregnant with the boss's kid,

it's gonna change your life.

I know.

But I'm not willing to lie.

Adam

give us a moment alone.

Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

The one detail

I have clear in my mind from that night

was a birthmark.

The girl who saved me

had a birthmark

of a butterfly on her collarbone.

Just like yours.

Cora, how long were you planning

on keeping this from me?

Why didn't you just say something?

Were you planning

to use this child against me?

No.

Of course not.

Yes.

Okay.

The baby is yours.

But that night

was an accident.

I never planned to trap you

with a child.

I don't care

if it was an accident.

The only thing I care about

is that you

and this child are mine.

Yours?

Dr. Hawkins, please.

You can't just throw money at us

or give me some room

in your mansion.

I don't want to be another

nameless child's mother

in your world.

Cora, it's not what you think.

Dr. Hawkins, we're very different.

I know this is just

responsibility for you

No.

You're wrong.

You think that this is just

duty to me.

That we would never last.

But I'm not just saying responsibility.

Cora,

I'm saying

I want you to marry me.

What?

You want to marry me?

Yes.

I want you to be my wife.

Dr. Hawkins

we come from two different worlds.

You have everything

I have nothing.

You deserve better.

And you're my professor.

I'm only a visiting professor.

And I'm leaving the university soon.

And you, Cora,

you're carrying my child.

I'm serious.

Unless it's the age gap.

I'm almost ten years older than you.

Okay, of course.

You want to run.

No, no.

It's not that at all.

Alright.

It's settled then.

Let's go get married.

Maybe marriage really would be

the best choice for the baby.

Dr. Hawkins is a good man.

He would be a good father.

Can you promise me one thing?

If we get divorced,

please,

let me raise our child.

We haven't even tied the knot

and you're already

thinking about divorce?

What if you regret marrying me?

Regret it?

Never.

But if the day ever comes

that we do get a divorce,

the child stays with you.

You have my word.

As if I'd ever let you go.

And if it eases your heart,

we can put it in writing.

No.

I believe you.

Alright.

Let's get married then.

I can't believe it.

I'm Mrs. Damon Hawkins?

It's real.

You're Mrs. Hawkins now.

What?

How did you know I

Boss!

Boss, it's your grandma Evelyn.

She's ill.

What?

Come on.

We gotta go home.

Aunt Miranda, how's Grandma?

Oh, finally!

Damon,

your grandma's worried sick.

Literally!

She hasn't eaten for days.

And she barely sleeps.

It's all because you refuse

to settle down with a nice girl.

The doctors just said

there's nothing more they can do.

This might be the end of her.

Haha.

Very funny.

She was fine yesterday.

Oh, dearest Grandma!

What a shame!

Meet my new wife.

Cora.

We were just married a few hours ago.

It's too bad

Grandma will never get to meet her

Your wife?

I, Damon.

You've never even brought a girl home.

Why did you offer this poor girl

to play along?

No games.

Cora's pregnant.

But at this rate,

Grandma's not only missing a wedding.

she's never going to meet

her great grandchild.

What?

A baby?

Oh, my grandchild!

Oh, baby!

Oh my goodness!

Wonderful!

I thought the doctors said

you were never gonna make it.

What?

I was so sick and worried, but...

This!

With this, I'm cured!

Oh my goodness!

It's a miracle!

And look at you!

So beautiful!

You really are pregnant, yeah?

You sure?

Yeah, yes, yes, of course,

Oh my goodness!

Oh, it's such a... Mom!

Mom!

What?

I don't mean to sour the mood,

but

you know how hard it's been

for people in our family

to get pregnant.

You, me, my siblings,

it's been hard for all of us.

But Damon just gets a woman pregnant

out of the blue?

Aunt Miranda

what exactly are you trying to say?

Damon, your kid is going to

inherit the Hawkins Group.

An empire!

We can't afford any mistakes.

The least you can do

is get a paternity test.

And I'm saying this for your own good.

That's enough.

I trust Cora.

And I know the baby's mine.

That's not the same

as seeing the cold hard facts.

This is about our future, Damon.

Our legacy.

Miranda, look at you!

That is just rude!

I trust Damon,

and I trust his wife.

And if you cannot find something

nice to say about this,

then you can just

let your own self out.

Thank you, Grandma.

Oh, this is so wonderful.

Oh my goodness.

Okay, I cannot wait

to tell the whole world

about the new.

wonderful Mrs. Hawkins.

So we're gonna start

putting the wedding together right away.

Actually.

I was thinking

maybe we could wait

on the wedding.

I don't want everyone at school

to know I'm married.

Why?

Are you embarrassed of me?

No, no, no, no, of course not, Damon.

I mean, if everyone at school found out

I married my professor,

I would never be able to live it down.

Okay.

Alright, so let's do this.

Let's wait until you graduate,

and wait until the baby comes.

The baby!

And then we'll do the wedding. do the wedding

We'll make it big.

We'll make it exciting.

Okay, Grandma,

I'm gonna take Cora back to our room.

I love you, Grandma.

Okay.

Bye.

Come in.

Dr. Hawkins?

We're back to Dr. Hawkins now,

are we?

Damon.

You're my wife.

There's nothing to be shy about.

Just not used to it yet.

What are you doing?

I'm pregnant.

I was just tucking you in.

What did you think I was doing?

Um,

nothing.

You're blushing, sweetie.

I need you to be honest with me!

Are you keeping our marriage a secret

because you already want a divorce?

Is that why you don't want a big wedding?

No, no.

Of course not.

I guess I'm just scared

that you'll regret it.

Regret it?

Cora, I will never regret marrying you.

I will spend every day

for the rest of my life

proving it to you.

Now get some sleep.

I'll drive you to class in the morning.

Sweet dreams.

Good night,

Damon.

Good night,

Mrs. Hawkins.

Oh, my baby.

I think we might've lucked out

with your dad.

Okay, Damon, I'm ready.

You're wearing the same thing

as yesterday.

Yeah.

The clothes Emma brought me

were a bit much.

Style-wise or too expensive?

Um,

both.

Okay.

We'll have them curate a closet

that feels more like you.

Thanks

Come on, let's get you to class.

This is perfect.

You can drop me off here.

But we're four blocks away from school.

Exactly.

Any closer and half the school

is gonna see me

get out of a Hawkins car.

And that's a problem because?

Because you're my professor,

and my boss,

and kind of a big deal.

People talk.

Please, Damon.

For me.

Alright.

Be safe.

I will.

Bye.

And the boys.

Alyssa, look.

Still wearing the same clothes.

Charity case

I knew Damon

couldn't be the father.

If that were his baby,

he would've showered her

in pearls by now.

What are you doing?

We don't have anything due.

It's for the research project.

I need to check my figures

before I present them to Dr. Hawkins.

She's still working

as Dr. Hawkins' assistant?

I can't believe he hasn't fired her

I don't know what kind of dirty tricks

this bitch is playing on Damon

but I swear I'm gonna make sure

he sees her for the whore that she is.

She's clearly obsessed with that baby.

Whoever the father is,

she's probably still sneaking off

to see him.

Good point.

Tail her.

Make sure you get dirt on her fast.

Got it.

Mrs. Hawkins.

Your husband's in a meeting

with some other professors,

but should I let him know you're here?

Shh, don't call me that at school.

Could you just give this to him

after his meeting?

Why not just give it to him yourself?

I have to head to my next class.

Just make sure he gets it, please?

Thanks

Mr. Hawkins, today we're presenting

our latest technology in immunotherapy.

It's where we're targeting

cancer cells

through immobilized T-cells.

One minute.

Adam?

Cora asked me to deliver this to you.

Where is she?

She said she had class

and then she left.

She's avoiding me.

Call her.

Tell her I need her to double-check

some figures.

Understood

My apologies.

Please continue

As I was saying,

we're targeting cancer cells

through immobilized T-cells.

Hello?

Okay.

I'll be right there.

She's heading somewhere

by herself.

She's totally having a secret

rendezvous with her lover.

Perfect.

I want you to wait

until they're in the middle of it

and then barge in.

And make sure the camera's rolling.

I'm on my way.

Cora Johnson,

you're done for.

Dr. Hawkins?

What are you doing?

I just needed a word.

Was there something wrong

with the documents?

Why are you avoiding me?

I'm not.

It's just we're at school.

You promised we'd play it cool.

You promised.

But you won't even call me Damon.

Because we're in public.

Nobody else is here.

Say it.

Damon.

Good girl.

You know, I've been regretting

making you that promise.

You breeze past me in the hallways

like I'm nobody.

You flinch

every time I touch you.

It drives me crazy.

I want everyone

to know you're my wife.

Mine.

Someone might see.

Let them.

Bingo.

Damon

someone might hear us.

Who cares?

You're my wife,

and I want everyone to know

who you belong to.

Damon.

Say it again.

Not professor,

not Dr. Hawkins.

Just my name.

Damon.

I thought you said we'd be careful.

I lied.

You drive me insane.

You know that?

Maybe.

Well, well.

Look what we've got here.

Cora Johnson caught red-handed

I got everything on video

I can't believe you're making out

with some random dilf at school.

You're done, slut.

Once I send this to Dr. Hawkins,

no one's gonna want to work

with you again.

Stacy, stop it.

Delete it now.

Why?

In fact

I think I'll text it to him right now.

Hey

mystery man.

What?

Too ashamed to show your face?

Turn around, you coward.

Dr. Hawkins?

Why are you here?

I thought you were gonna text me

that video.

I'm waiting.

Stacy, did you get that video?

I want that bitch exposed.

Damon?

What are you doing here with her?

Alyssa Wilson.

I should have guessed.

Still wasting your time

harassing the mother of my child?

What?

You're the baby's father?

No

no way.

If that were the case,

then she wouldn't be walking around

like she's homeless.

And it would be front-page news.

You're rich.

You hear that?

It's what most people see

when they look at me.

Labels, money, power.

But not Cora.

Cora's better than that.

Damon, I don't care what they think.

Let them talk.

Good.

Because in three months,

the world will know

that the Hawkins

don't just protect her.

They'll know that we cherish her

and this baby.

Alyssa,

I've let your behavior go

because of the Wilsons.

But now

But now,

you have crossed a line.

I don't ever want to see you

or your minions

on the same campus as Cora again.

Transfer or quit medicine.

Dr. Hawkins

please!

I can't afford to transfer

in the middle of the semester.

My, my family's

struggling enough as it is.

Please forgive me.

You're apologizing to the wrong person.

Cora.

Cora, please!

Please forgive me.

It was wrong for me to do that to you.

Damon

I think we let her off

with a warning this time.

You should be grateful

she gave you grace

Now go.

And leave your phone.

What do you need her phone for?

Well, she got a video of me holding you.

Then delete it.

Delete it?

It's a great shot.

Why would you save something like that?

Research,

scientific study.

See how your body reacts

when I touch you.

Come on, where were we?

I'd taste his lips forever if I could.

Earth to Cora.

Who was the lucky boy?

Nothing.

I was just

thinking about something.

Uh huh.

With that smile,

you're probably thinking about

Alyssa's transfer.

Guess Daddy's money

couldn't help her this time.

That girl has been a nightmare

to everyone forever.

It's about time

she got what she deserves.

So true.

Alyssa,

don't worry.

Us Wilsons won't let anyone

walk over us.

Damon Hawkins

cannot force you to transfer.

He's gone too far.

Dad, we can't, okay?

Not yet.

We're nowhere near as powerful

as the Hawkins Group.

Besides, it's not even Damon's fault.

It's that bitch Cora.

She's totally manipulated Damon.

Cora?

Who's Cora?

Cora Johnson, she's in my program.

She convinced Damon

that she's pregnant with his baby.

But if we prove it's not his,

then he'll break up with her.

I see.

Leave it to me.

Thank you, Daddy. You're the best.

Sir, don't you think Robert's assistant, you're taking it a little easy

on the young miss?

After all, she's not even

your biological daughter.

Alyssa's my daughter in every sense of the word.

Josh, you know I can't have

biological children of my own.

Alyssa and I might not be blood-related,

but I love her just the same.

And she shares a striking resemblance

to your late sister.

Maybe that's why I'm so fond of her.

My sister was

the only one who loved me.

I remember seeing little Alyssa

for the first time.

It was like seeing my sister

all over again.

And I swore then

I would protect her

no matter what.

No wonder you've always spoiled her.

I'll give Alyssa

everything she wants,

and I mean no one will stand in my way.

Damon Hawkins has an aunt, right?

Miranda.

She wanted the Hawkins Group

to go to her

instead of him.

You know what?

We can use that.

That'll be all.

Thank you.

Okay.

I grabbed everything I needed

from the dorm.

All you got was a photo?

Yeah.

It's my only photo of me and my mom.

Wow,

you look just like her.

Thanks.

Everyone says that.

So,

both of your parents passed away.

Do you have any other relatives?

No.

I mean, I don't know anyone

on my dad's side.

My mom said she had

a younger brother, but

they lost contact a long time ago.

So no,

I don't have anyone.

Well, you have our baby.

And you have me.

I just need you to realize

that I'm not going anywhere,

sweetheart.

Buckle up.

Let's go home.

Mom, your birthday soiree is the perfect occasion

to announce that Damon and Cora Damon and Cora

are expecting.

That baby is the future of our family.

The sooner the world knows, the better.

Aunt Miranda

just last night you were saying

how Cora wasn't good enough for me.

What changed?

Damon, you're back.

Last night was all jus

a misunderstanding.

I got a little emotional.

Seeing how in love you are

and with a baby on the way.

this is the best thing to happen

to our family in years.

Cora is just a few weeks along.

I think it would be better

if we just waited a little bit of time

and.

Actually, Grandma,

I think Aunt Miranda has a point.

Damon.

If this is what you want, Damon,

then we'll do what Miranda says.

Perfect.

I'll handle the arrangements

But Damon,

everyone at med school's

gonna find out

that I'm pregnant.

Don't worry.

Only close family, friends,

and business partners

will be allowed to attend

Grandma's birthday soiree.

But

I...

Do you remember

what Alyssa said today?

If my family doesn't show

that we're serious about you,

people will take it as a chance

to hurt you.

Or even the baby.

Is it really that serious?

Yes.

Yes, it is, sweetheart.

Okay.

Then we'll announce that I'm pregnant

at your birthday soiree.

Good girl.

So what you're saying is,

you're the father of Cora's

little bastard spawn?

That's right.

I'm the father.

That conniving snake!

I want you to expose her

at my mother's birthday

in front of everyone

And I'll handle the rest.

Yes, ma'am.

It worked, Alyssa.

Alyssa, she bought it

Good.

You know I've never even

kissed Cora before.

We can't get caught.

Relax, okay?

I've got everything covered.

We'll ruin Cora

and she won't ever be able

to show her face at school again.

Oh Mom, happy birthday!

Evening, Mrs. Hawkins.

I heard you had big news

to announce tonight.

Maybe Damon Hawkins

got engaged.

Oh my goodness

Wait and see.

Oh, look who's just come.

This is the first time

I've seen Damon Hawkins

look this smitten.

Guess the rumors are true.

They really did tie the knot.

Thank you all for being here.

Tonight, I'm celebrating

two women in my life.

My grandmother,

of course

and my beautiful, amazing wife,

Cora.

Give me that,

give me.

Now

there is no official wedding yet, there is no official there is no official there is no official there is no official

because the baby's on the way.

and Cora is in the middle

of all her studies.

But we will do the wedding next year.

That's wonderful.

Congratulations, Damon and Cora.

Wow!

Stop!

I can't take this anymore.

I am the father of her unborn child.

Who the hell let you in?

Security,

get this lunatic out of the party.

No!

I'm telling the truth.

Cora and I have been together for years.

The baby is mine.

Bullshit.

You asked her out

but she never gave you the time of day

And now,

you're trying to make things up

to hide your own hurt pride.

Is that what she told you?

She slept with me behind your back.

Dr. Hawkins, she's playing you.

Shut your mouth

before I shut it for you.

I believe my wife.

Cora's baby is next in line

to be the leader of the Hawkins Group

Do you think

that we would have made this public

if it were not

a hundred percent certain?

Security, throw him out.

Wait!

Wait!

Mom, Damon hasn't even

taken a paternity test.

And the kid seems serious

about being Cora's lover.

What if

they... - Miranda

are you trying to humiliate us

at my birthday party!

No, I would never.

But think about it.

Why would he come here

and make a huge deal about it

if he wasn't sure?

He's not even scared we'll retaliate.

That says something.

Miranda has a point.

What if the Hawkins family's

being tricked? being tricked?

Then what do you suggest,

aunt Miranda?

Simple.

Take a paternity test.

Right here, right now.

Prove that Cora's innocent

in front of everyone

Miranda

I raised you better than this.

Mom, I'm just doing

what's best for the family.

And Cora,

if you're telling the truth,

you have nothing to fear.

You're right.

Mrs. Hawkins, Damon,

thank you both,

for trusting me.

I'm okay with a paternity test.

Huh.

She's not nervous at all?

Alright.

Bring in the doctor.

Wow.

Huh?

You came prepared.

You?

No, you, you misunderstand.

I only have a doctor on call

because you were sick earlier.

I just didn't want anything to happen

at the party.

We'll get the result

in about 30 minutes.

Oh, and him.

Take his sample too.

Yeah.

Check my blood as well.

I'm ready to take full responsibility

for my child.

David, you know damn well

this child isn't yours.

You're just ashamed of me

because I'm poor

You'd rather live it up with Dr. Hawkins

instead of admitting to the truth.

Shut him up!

Damon's completely under her spell.

But soon, she'll be in Hell.

Dr. Hawkins!

The results are in.

I'm sorry, but

you are not the father.

What?

Are you sure the child isn't mine?

It's okay.

I still believe you.

Doctor.

Are you absolutely sure?

Now, Damon,

why would Dr. Vicario lie to us?

But now that we have proof

you need to divorce this whore.

Shut up!

Last chance.

Talk, or you'll regret it later.

Nice try, Damon.

He's not going to turn on us

just because he got a little scared.

I dropped ten fucking million on this. million on this.

No.

No, Dr. Hawkins.

I, I'm sure

You have no biological relations

to the child.

Can you believe this?

The Hawkins have been praying

for an heir.

And it turns out,

the baby isn't even Damon's.

You dirty slut.

How dare you pass off a bastard child

as a Hawkins heir?

Get the hell out of here.

And you're not taking

any of our stuff with you.

Don't you dare lay a finger on her!

Damon, what's going on here?

Grandma, the doctor is lying.

I believe Cora.

Then you're out of

your goddamn mind

Why would Dr. Vicario lie to us?

Unbelievable.

He's still not buying it?

Damon,

Cora's nothing

but a streetwalking whore.

Okay,

the proof is right

underneath your nose.

Why are you refusing

to see the truth?

You put the doctor up to this, Alyssa.

Try again, okay?

This is your family doctor.

That's right, he's on my payroll.

Damon

you don't really think

that I would conspire

with the doctor

just to frame Cora?

Mom, you don't think

that I would do that, right?

I would never do that!

I don't know what to believe anymore.

The baby is Damon's.

I'm sure of it.

I believe her.

Why?

She is lying to you, Damon.

The only liars here

are you and that doctor.

A few days ago,

I took Cora to the hospital.

I secretly requested a paternity test.

The results show

that I am the biological father.

The proof is right here in my hand!

Wait, so you knew everything all along?

It's true.

Cora, I'm so sorry I doubted you.

It's okay, Mrs. Hawkins.

I thought he trusted me.

He did a paternity test

without telling me?

This proves that Cora is innocent.

And you,

you are preposterous.

Get ready for your license

to be revoked.

No.

No, Dr. Hawkins.

I, I'm sorry.

I must have been missing something

This was no simple human error.

Someone was using you

to turn me against Cora.

Speak!

Who told you to frame my wife?

No one put me up to this.

It was a mistake!

My mistake.

If I find any evidence

implicating that it was you,

you won't just lose your license.

You'll wish that you were dead.

Confess now

and I might let you walk out of here

in one piece.

What?

I, you,

you sick liar!

I, when did I tell you to do anything?

It's true!

It was her.

She told me to frame Cora.

She said if I didn't do it

that she would make sure

I didn't graduate medical school!

Dr. Hawkins, please forgive me.

You lying bastard!

You told me you're the father!

I was trying to protect Damon

from getting used.

If that was your concern,

why didn't you mention it to me

or to Damon?

But instead, you turned it

into this huge game.

And you turned my birthday

into a circus!

What were you thinking?

I'm sorry.

Get them out of here!

Shit.

How did things get this out of control?

They better not drag me down with them.

It was Alyssa!

She told me to do it.

It was all her idea!

What?

You're lying!

Alyssa, it's over!

I'm not getting screwed

over lying for you.

Me too!

I should have never taken your money!

Fucking traitors!

So you admit it.

It was you all along.

You planned everything.

You used Aunt Miranda

as a scapegoat,

all just because

you were jealous of Cora.

And you thought that we would never

trace it back to you

Geez,

Alyssa's rotten to the core.

Thank goodness

Dr. Hawkins saw through her act.

Why, Alyssa?

I have done nothing to you.

Why are you always

trying to destroy me?

Because you don't deserve

to be with Damon

and you don't deserve

to have his babies.

I want her out, now!

I'm the Wilson heiress.

You touch me, you'll regret it!

I don't give a shit who your dad is.

It's my house, my rules.

Let go of me!

Get out.

Get your filthy hands

off my daughter!

Daddy!

Sweetheart, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Damon Hawkins

pick on somebody your own size.

Is that an invitation?

Let's settle this like men.

That face...

Faye?

Faye?

Dad, are you okay?

What's going on?

I, nothing, sweetheart.

What an uncanny resemblance.

That girl just looks like my sister,

Faye

Wilson,

you owe my wife an apology.

My apologies, Dr. Hawkins.

To make amends

Wilson Group will concede

an extra one percent

on the deal

we discussed last month.

Does that sound alright?

Deal?

You think that we have a deal

after this?

Please, okay, three percent.

And I'll sign over my French villa

as an early wedding present.

That villa's worth

a hundred million dollars.

That's supposed to be mine!

What do you think, Cora?

The man's offering you his villa.

Me?

What?

But it's supposed to be yours.

I-

What's mine is yours.

Her eyes,

her face

she looks just like Faye.

Could she be Faye's daughter?

But they told me the kid died years ago.

Was that a lie?

Why is he staring at my wife?

Now that Cora has accepted

your apology.

you can fuck off.

Keep your daughter on a tighter leash.

Or the next time you see her,

will be in prison.

I will

Dr. Hawkins.

Alyssa, let's go.

Move it.

And take the others to the police.

I made you some tea.

Thank you.

I'm sure you have a lot of questions

No.

You're not mad

that I went behind your back

to get a paternity test?

I mean, we barely knew each other

before we got married.

It's normal for you to have doubts

on my character.

You're saying that,

but your smile seems forced.

To be honest,

I never got that DNA test.

The document that I showed today was a fake.

And I had it created to protect you.

Today, it finally did.

What?

Do you remember when Aunt Miranda

suddenly insisted

that you announce your pregnancy

at Grandma's soiree?

I knew

then and there,

that she was cooking up

some sort of scheme

and that if I didn't attack first,

she was going to hurt you.

Why didn't you just tell me?

Because I didn't want you to think

that I was making up excuses.

Everything I did was planned.

It was to protect you

and our child.

So you've been suspicious of Alyssa this whole time?

A little at the start

but we have strong ties

with the Wilson Group in business.

So, if I exposed her too early, So, if I exposed

Robert wouldn't have

given us anything.

By exposing Alyssa when I did,

he had to pay us out,

big time.

I see.

So if you'd called her out too early,

she would have just changed her ruse.

Exactly.

Cora

you and this baby

are the most important things

in my life.

Now, and always.

You really trust me that much?

You have the kindest soul.

I trusted you

from the moment that you told me.

Damon, you're amazing.

And I need you to know

I'm not here out of duty.

Cora

I love you.

Damon.

Okay, kids.

What we have here -

Oh.

Uh, I

Cora, I am so sorry.

I, I didn't, um

It's okay. - Cora, I Cora, I didn't

see anything.

I'll just go.

Come in, come in.

It's okay.

What do you need, - Come in.

Grandma?

Well

I just happen to have the deed

to the lakeside villa.

Robert was

incredibly cooperative.

And, he insisted that the entire thing

be signed over to Cora.

Really?

Cora's name?

He was staring at you

at Grandma's birthday soiree, too

Do you know him?

No, I've never met him.

You don't think he has

any sinister intentions for Cora,

do you?

I'll look into it.

Either way,

what happened with Aunt Miranda?

Oh.

Well, it seems as though

Miranda has signed

over all of her shares

to Cora.

And some of those shares

will go to Cora for compensation.

You're brilliant, Grandma.

Well, thank you.

I think so, too.

Sign it.

With this,

you'll be the third largest shareholder

of the Hawkins Group.

Oh.

No.

I mean, the villa's already a lot,

but the shares?

Come on, we want you to have it.

Mm-hmm.

Everyone's been so nice to me.

It almost feels like a dream.

Well...

Ow!

See?

No dream.

This is reality, sweetheart.

I totally blew it for Dad today.

He hasn't said anything.

but I know he's mad.

I need to calm him down.

Sir,

are you telling me that you think

the new Mrs. Hawkins

is your late sister's daughter?

Are you telling me that you think the new Mrs. Hawkins

is your late sister's daughter?

He's talking about Cora.

Doesn't just look like her, Josh.

She's a spitting image of her.

I think Cora's my niece.

Understood.

I'll arrange for a DNA test.

If Cora is Faye's daughter,

I have a lot to make up for her.

If Cora is your niece,

what will happen to Miss Alyssa?

I raised Alyssa.

I'm not going to abandon her.

She's still my daughter.

Dad only dotes on me

because I look like his dead sister?

I'm not letting anyone

take my place,

especially not that bitch Cora

Don't say anything to Alyssa

until I've confirmed everything.

Yes, sir.

I won't say a word.

Sir, you think that Mrs. Hawkins

is related to Robert Wilson?

He had an older sister,

Faye Wilson.

She gave up her dreams

to support his business ventures,

but she died before he made it.

I believe Faye Wilson

may be Cora's mother.

Really?

When Robert saw Cora last night,

he completely lost his composure.

Like he saw Faye's ghost.

And I've seen a picture

of Cora's mother.

The resemblance is uncanny.

And I've seen a picture of Cora's mother.

The resemblance is uncanny.

So, Cora's found more family.

Perhaps.

Perhaps

But that's not always

a good thing.

Robert has spoiled Alyssa for years.

And even if Cora is his niece,

I doubt he would throw Alyssa

to the curb.

I see, sir.

I'll keep digging.

Josh.

Miss Alyssa.

I just squeezed

some fresh orange juice.

Would you like some?

Thank you, miss.

Ah!

I am so sorry.

It's alright.

I'll go clean up.

So, Cora really is Dad's niece?

No, I won't let her take everything

away from me.

Sir?

Yeah.

We extracted Cora's DNA

from some of her belongings.

This is the report.

Sir?

No genetic relation.

Are you sure this is right, Josh?

Positive

I didn't even look at it.

I brought it straight to you.

God doesn't dole out miracles

that easy.

Destroy this document.

I don't want Alyssa

to even know it exists.

Understood.

Dad.

Hi, sweetheart, hi.

I had a bad dream last night

that you didn't want me anymore.

How could you think that?

I would never abandon my baby.

I know,

but every time

I think about Damon doting on Cora,

then my chest hurts, and I can't breathe,

and I hate her.

I want her to disappear!

There, there.

If making Cora disappear

makes my baby happy.

then leave it to your father.

Boss, I found something.

You were right,

Robert Wilson is likely Cora's uncle.

Explain it to me.

Cora's mother, Faye,

handed off all of her assets

to support her brother's business.

And then she had a child

with Cora's father.

But when Robert tried to find them,

that man claimed that Faye

already died from illness.

No wonder Robert

spoiled Alyssa rotten

He's been trying to make it up to Faye.

because she looks just like her.

Boss, should I tell him?

No.

If Robert's sincere, he'll come to us

Got it, boss.

Cora hasn't called me back

in two hours.

Well, she's probably just busy.

Or she's avoiding me

in her own head

trying to convince herself

that I love her.

that I love her

Sir, if may?

You come from two

completely different worlds.

She's just scared to trust you.

It'll take time

but she will.

Then I'll keep proving to her

that I love her.

No matter how long it takes.

Wow,

who'd have thought boss

is such a hopeless romantic?

Cora.

I called you in,

because you've been asked

to present your research

at today's seminar.

You'll leave after lunch.

Wait, what?

That's like no notice.

Yeah, I just heard about it myself.

It's sponsored

by a mysterious billionaire.

It is a great

networking opportunity

for you.

Okay.

Thank you, Dr. Mill

You're funny.

I'll pick you up after your classes.

Oh, no need.

I'm actually going

to this research seminar.

I'll just get a taxi home when I'm done. I'll just get a taxi

A seminar?

Yeah, they want me to present

our research, so...

Oh, sorry, I think my car's here.

Talk to you later, okay?

Bye.

Oh, sorry.

Is no one else going to the seminar?

The others already left.

Dr. Mills recommended this.

So it should be fine,

right?

Adam, I need you to look into

this research seminar.

Something feels off

On it, boss.

Sir, the seminar is sponsored

by Wilson Group.

Could Robert Wilson

have figured out

that Cora is his niece?

Maybe this is his way

of giving her more opportunities?

No.

If Robert found out

that Cora was his niece

he would have come straight to me.

Track her location.

Something's off.

Where, where,

where am I?

I was in the car to go to the seminar.

Wake up, bitch.

You've fallen right into my trap.

Alyssa?

What are you doing?

You might have tricked Damon

to falling head over heels for you

but that all ends today.

Because you're gonna die.

You're crazy!

Damon won't let you get away with this!

All anybody'll know

is you got kidnapped

on the way to the seminar.

You brought this on yourself, Cora.

Robert

you're gonna murder me

because your daughter's in love

with my husband?

Is that how you show her

you love her?

Shut up, orphan!

You know nothing

about a father's love.

Damon will never love you,

even if I'm dead

Shut up!

You don't know that.

This isn't even about

Damon anymore.

It's about taking Dad's love

away from me.

Alyssa,

let's wait outside.

Let's give Josh the honor.

I wanted to do it myself!

No.

You don't wanna see this.

Fine.

No.

No!

Where's Cora?

What did you do with my wife?

I don't know what you're fucking

talking about.

You fucking imbecile!

If you hurt her, you'll regret it!

She's your niece.

That's impossible.

We did a DNA test. - Yeah.

Cora and I are not related.

We have her records.

Cora's mother was named Faye Wilson

Faye?

No, that's my sister.

That means that...

Oh my God!

Too late, Daddy.

Josh never hesitates.

Cora's dead meat.

Cora,

you're awake.

Damon, the baby.

Is the baby okay?

Perfectly fine.

I'm so sorry to make you worry again.

Don't say that.

I should be the one apologizing.

I should have been there to protect you.

I do have something to tell you.

What is it?

You said your mother

had a younger brother,

who vanished years ago.

You thought he was gone.

Yeah?

Why?

He's not.

Your uncle,

it's Robert Wilson.

What?

What?

No, no way.

He tried to kill me, Damon.

How could he be my uncle?

You don't have to forgive him.

You don't even have to

acknowledge him.

I just thought you should know.

I don't want him.

Then from this moment on,

he doesn't exist.

Mr. Wilson is insisting

on seeing Mrs. Hawkins.

He says that he didn't know

she was his niece

and he regrets everything.

He is begging for a chance

to explain himself.

He tried to kill me.

Family or not,

I don't want a man like that in my life.

You heard her.

Tell Mr. Wilson he can go to Hell.

Sweetheart, are you alright?

Yeah, I'm fine, Grandma.

Better than fine, actually.

I'm surrounded by the best people.

Sir, ma'am,

Mr. Wilson insists on seeing Cora.

He says he won't leave until he does.

I can't believe that bastard

had the nerve to show up here.

Let him in.

I'll handle this.

Okay, fine.

Cora!

Cora, I know you hate me

and I don't blame you.

I didn't know

you were Faye's daughter.

I panicked!

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

Terribly wrong.

My mother

was a kind and gentle soul.

And Alyssa has been nothing

but cruel.

Cora, he's not worth your time.

I want Alyssa punished.

No, no, please.

She just

she just lost control.

She didn't know you were my niece.

Robert, leave.

I don't care that we're related.

As long as Alyssa is in your life,

I want nothing to do with you.

You heard her.

Get out.

Cora, please.

Cora.

We're family!

You're my only family!

Josh!

Are you sure nobody tampered

with that DNA report?

It never even left my sight!

Wait.

What?

Before I brought it to you,

Alyssa accidentally spilled

some juice on me

I left the report on the coffee table

while I went to clean up.

Are you kidding me?

Check the security reports.

On it, sir.

Sir,

someone deleted the footage.

The maids say Miss Wilson

asked to see it earlier.

So it was Alyssa.

She switched the reports.

That little-

Dad, you wanted to see me?

You knew Cora was my niece.

You just wanted her out of the way.

didn't you?

Didn't you?

You even faked a suicide attempt

to convince me.

That's, that's not-

Enough!

I cared about you.

I loved you.

I gave you everything.

Everything!

And you still try to convince me

to kill my own niece.

Dad, please-

Don't!

Don't ever call me that again.

I am no longer your father.

As of now, I'm disowning you.

You're no longer my daughter.

I want you out of this house

and out of my life, now.

Go!

Just get out!

Go!

This is all your fault, you bitch.

You ruined my life.

So, I'm gonna kill you

Alyssa, no!

Alyssa?

Dad?

No.

Dad.

Robert!

Cora,

I'm so sorry.

I owed Faye everything I have.

I've paid her back, now.

Robert!

No!

Someone!

Someone call an ambulance!

Uncle Robert.

I can die now in peace.

Thank you.

Thank you, Cora,

for giving me the life

I always dreamed of.

A beautiful wife

and children.

Being a mother

is the best thing

that ever happened to me.

Hi, Cora.

It's Robert.

I was wondering

if I might come see the babies.

Now that Alyssa passed away,

you're really the only family

I have left, I-

Yeah.

Come see them

Uncle Robert.

You're sure?

Oh, thank you!

I'm on my way.

Sometimes,

the family you're born with

is taken away.

by choice,

by circumstance,

or by tragedy.

And sometimes

we get another chance

to start over.

This is my fresh start.

And with Damon holding me close,

the future is nothing but hopeful.
