00:00:00Hi, I'm Zoe Campbell. I'm here for my interview.
00:00:21Take a seat. We'll call you when he's ready.
00:00:24Oh, okay.
00:00:30I have an interview later, Mother.
00:00:34I swear. Ashton, you throw away assistants as if they have expiration dates printed on them.
00:00:40Don't worry. That won't take long.
00:00:43This is the third time this month.
00:00:45And every time, it means thousands of dollars paid to shut up these blood-sucking flies on the wall.
00:00:52Come on. Boys just want to have fun.
00:00:55Not when you're taking over a publicly traded company in two weeks.
00:01:00You leave me no choice.
00:01:06You're not crossing me off the trust fund.
00:01:09I won't. If you get married.
00:01:12This company is your father's life's work. I'm not letting a weak link ruin it.
00:01:17I'm so sorry for interrupting.
00:01:19Who did her hair? Do you think she even combed it this morning?
00:01:29No. She did not comb it.
00:01:31It's called a rat's nest.
00:01:32Oh, yes.
00:01:33This is bullshit.
00:01:37It can help redeem your image.
00:01:40It'll show the public that you've stopped screwing around.
00:01:43It started acting like a cronaut.
00:01:45I never wanted to be CU.
00:01:46You know very well why you cannot be the same.
00:01:51What do I have to remind you?
00:01:55No.
00:01:55You're the heir to the Cross family, Ashton.
00:02:06This is the hand you've been dealt with.
00:02:09Play it well.
00:02:11This company is your father's life's work.
00:02:14I'm so sorry for interrupting, but Jeff said he needed your signature in three minutes,
00:02:20or we wouldn't be able to close the contract with Gabe from K&L, and he'd be really, really unhappy.
00:02:27Who are you?
00:02:28Pam from Marketing Strategies.
00:02:31Mrs. Cross, it's a pleasure to meet you.
00:02:33Thank you, Pam.
00:02:35Well, obviously, Pam and I have a lot of work to do.
00:02:39We'll talk about this another time.
00:02:42You're not off the hook, Ashton.
00:02:44I've gone through great lengths to set you up with some very worthy candidates.
00:02:48Remember, you have two weeks, and I want to see a ring.
00:02:55We're so sorry, Mr. Cross.
00:02:57We didn't mean to let this woman disturb you.
00:03:00Yeah, we're really sorry.
00:03:01We'll escort her out right away.
00:03:02Did I say I wanted her out?
00:03:05She's fine.
00:03:06She can stay.
00:03:07Go back to work.
00:03:11Now, go back to work.
00:03:12Okay.
00:03:14Zoe Campbell.
00:03:22Why did you just burst in here like that?
00:03:24I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but it sounded like you could use an escape from that conversation.
00:03:28And you came up with that whole story on the spot, just like that?
00:03:31I act fast under pressure.
00:03:32You're hired.
00:03:40Okay.
00:03:41Your first day starts right now.
00:03:44Didn't expect it to be so easy.
00:03:46But yes, I guess it all starts right now.
00:03:49I never said I was selling.
00:03:56Xander, wouldn't it make more sense if you didn't live in a penthouse?
00:04:02You'd also be closer to your PT, which Mother says is progressing.
00:04:06I wouldn't call taking five steps with a walker progressing.
00:04:11I should probably leave.
00:04:13Stay.
00:04:13I see my little brother has yet another young lady in his life.
00:04:18This is my new assistant.
00:04:20Her name is Zoe.
00:04:22I shall enjoy getting to know your acquaintance, Zoe.
00:04:25At least these next few months.
00:04:27Xander.
00:04:27I can fend for myself.
00:04:31What happened to you?
00:04:32Car accident.
00:04:33Our father died.
00:04:35Cross Kingdom shattered overnight.
00:04:37What the press forgot to mention.
00:04:40You were there.
00:04:41In the accident.
00:04:44Can we discuss the apartment?
00:04:46This meeting's completely been derailed.
00:04:50Zoe, perhaps it's best if Xander and I continue alone.
00:04:59Wait, Zoe.
00:05:00That's what I'm telling you now.
00:05:03If he doesn't bend you over one way,
00:05:05he'll break you, Mother.
00:05:08Really, Xander?
00:05:10Thank you for your concern.
00:05:12But the last thing you need to worry about
00:05:13is me falling for your brother.
00:05:16I assure you,
00:05:18you should be more afraid of me.
00:05:21Interesting.
00:05:22Xander, please.
00:05:23I'm only trying to help you.
00:05:28I don't know about you,
00:05:29but I could use a drink.
00:05:35I guess you could say
00:05:40that my relationship with my brother
00:05:42is improving.
00:05:44I mean, at least you're willing to work on it.
00:05:46I know my brother,
00:05:47and I know he's charming.
00:05:49Most of those women
00:05:50were in your position.
00:05:52Maybe Xander secretly wants to be close to you.
00:05:55Yeah.
00:05:56We don't have to talk about my brother.
00:05:58Or business.
00:05:59What should we talk about?
00:06:00You tricked my mother
00:06:09and stood your own against Xander
00:06:12on the same day.
00:06:13That makes me a little curious.
00:06:17You know, they say curiosity
00:06:19is a dangerous thing.
00:06:21I'm not just another assistant
00:06:23you're going to go home with.
00:06:25I've had a lovely evening, though,
00:06:28and I'll see you tomorrow.
00:06:29Bye-bye.
00:06:39Bye-bye.
00:06:46Curiosity isn't enough.
00:07:15I need his trust.
00:07:18I've changed my face.
00:07:20I've come so far.
00:07:22There's no turning back.
00:07:24I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:07:26And I'll make him pay.
00:07:29I promise.
00:07:33I can't believe she left with Ashton last night.
00:07:37You know what they say.
00:07:38You sleep with the right person.
00:07:39You get the right job.
00:07:41Oh my God!
00:07:42You spilled coffee everywhere!
00:07:45That was so embarrassing.
00:07:58Excuse me, ladies.
00:07:59I'm afraid I need to confiscate your key cards and escort you out.
00:08:03Wait, what?
00:08:04Why?
00:08:05It was a direct order from Mr. Cross.
00:08:07He fired us?
00:08:08I mean, he can't do that.
00:08:10I believe he can.
00:08:11Now, are you packing yourself?
00:08:13Or do you need a hand?
00:08:15You messed up the wrong person.
00:08:25You missed your job.
00:08:26You missed your job.
00:08:40Zoe.
00:08:41Get in.
00:08:42You're coming with me.
00:08:44Look, Mr. Cross, I appreciate what you did, but I can't be seen going home with you every night.
00:08:50It's unprofessional.
00:08:51Zoe, you're my assistant now.
00:08:53You're going to work when I need you to work.
00:08:55Or I can save us both the trouble and fire you right now.
00:09:0026 hours.
00:09:01That would be a record even for me.
00:09:03Can I at least ask where we're going?
00:09:11On a date.
00:09:12What?
00:09:15Can I at least ask where we're going?
00:09:18On a date.
00:09:20What?
00:09:22Mr. Cross, I can't do this.
00:09:25Black Zoe, this isn't for you.
00:09:28This is for me.
00:09:29And a friend.
00:09:30You brought me on a date with another woman.
00:09:33Technically, three other women.
00:09:36Why would you do that?
00:09:38I trust your judgment.
00:09:39Tell me which one of these girls I should marry.
00:09:45I just love yachts.
00:09:47You know, you sail out from LA and the entire Atlantic Ocean is yours.
00:09:53The Pacific Ocean.
00:09:55What?
00:09:56Never mind though.
00:09:58I actually don't own yacht.
00:10:01But you're rich.
00:10:03I'm sorry.
00:10:04This is a deal breaker.
00:10:07Maybe you should just go for your assistant.
00:10:08She's a little maintenance.
00:10:12Okay.
00:10:14Babies, I mean, they're just so small.
00:10:16They're scrunchy and they look old.
00:10:18Like old people, but they're little and they're babies and they don't know how to talk to you.
00:10:22And so they start screaming and they start crying and then they poop and it goes everywhere and they throw up.
00:10:27And like, honestly, it's the grossest thing I've ever experienced in my entire life.
00:10:31And not even that I experienced babies because I've never been around babies.
00:10:34Other than the fact that I used to be a baby, I just, I do not like babies at all.
00:10:39I think children are one of the most amazing gifts of life.
00:10:42And you are so funny, Ashton.
00:10:45I mean, the reality is just that babies would also get in the way of my social life.
00:10:49And I have very high standards for like living.
00:10:54And so...
00:10:55Don't you think that's kind of selfish?
00:10:58I'm being a realist.
00:11:01And you're joking, right?
00:11:03A man with your playboy reputation.
00:11:06You're honestly telling me that you want to settle down and have children.
00:11:11You are so funny.
00:11:16You are so funny.
00:11:19My mother said that you study literature.
00:11:22Have you, uh, read Fitzgerald?
00:11:24Who?
00:11:26Oh, no, I didn't go to school.
00:11:28Did I go to school with him?
00:11:29I don't think I went to school with him.
00:11:31No, no, no.
00:11:32Uh, Fitzgerald.
00:11:33The Great Gatsby.
00:11:35I love Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:11:38I love him.
00:11:39I was at a party and he was like so hitting on me.
00:11:42It was so crazy.
00:11:43He was so short.
00:11:45It was so weird.
00:11:46Everything's been taken care of.
00:11:47Have a great night, alright?
00:11:48Oh, you paid for it?
00:11:49Yeah.
00:11:50Oh, really?
00:11:51Oh, thank you.
00:11:52Where are we going?
00:11:53Can you order another on your way out?
00:11:57Absolutely.
00:11:58Okay.
00:11:59Tell your mom I said hi.
00:12:00I miss her.
00:12:01Yes, we do.
00:12:02Okay.
00:12:09Absolutely.
00:12:10Cheers.
00:12:14So, um, Fitzgerald, you want kids?
00:12:18I have to say, I did not expect that.
00:12:21Let me guess.
00:12:22You thought I was some playboy who didn't care about anything, just like everybody else.
00:12:28Truth is, when people misunderstand you, and enough misunderstand you, you slowly forget who you are too.
00:12:40This place is amazing.
00:12:42You know, Xander and I designed this place.
00:12:47Wow.
00:12:48You were close.
00:12:51Yeah.
00:12:52Until we weren't.
00:12:56Do you have any siblings?
00:12:58No.
00:12:59Um...
00:13:01It's just me.
00:13:02You know, two years ago, it was actually me who was supposed to be on that flight to Zurich with my father.
00:13:10Not Xander.
00:13:13Sometimes I wish it was me.
00:13:14It was late at night.
00:13:15The car was headed to the airport.
00:13:27But I didn't show up.
00:13:31Xander was the heir.
00:13:35He was raised to take over the company.
00:13:38But I ruined him.
00:13:41You didn't ruin him.
00:13:43No one's meant to be one thing.
00:13:45I mean...
00:13:47We all have a choice.
00:13:49Not in my world, Zoe.
00:13:51You saw for yourself.
00:13:53I can't even get married when I'd like.
00:13:56Well, maybe not win, but you get to choose who.
00:13:59That's the most important part.
00:14:00What if I chose you?
00:14:18What if I chose you?
00:14:22What?
00:14:25You heard me?
00:14:26What?
00:14:31Zoe Campbell?
00:14:34Will you marry me?
00:14:37This is the joke.
00:14:39You're joking.
00:14:41I've...
00:14:43never been more serious.
00:14:45Listen, Ashen, you may be used to getting whatever you want whenever you want it.
00:14:49I don't want to marry you out of convenience.
00:14:52Zoe...
00:14:54Women see me as a golden ticket to money and fame.
00:14:58My father's passed away.
00:15:00Xander sees me as competition and my mother sees me as a pawn to save the family business.
00:15:05But you, Zoe, you actually see me.
00:15:07For who I really am.
00:15:11That was good.
00:15:13You should have used that with some of your blind dates.
00:15:18I have to get married or I'm crossed off the trust fund.
00:15:20Negotiate your price.
00:15:23I'll have it put together.
00:15:25I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:15:28And I'll make him pay.
00:15:29I'll make him pay.
00:15:42How do I look?
00:15:46The city's most eligible bachelor is off the market.
00:15:49My mom gets what she wants.
00:15:51The most able-bodied son.
00:15:53Takes the throne and keeps his trust fund.
00:15:56And today's your big day.
00:15:58See you out there.
00:15:59Mrs. Cross.
00:16:15What a lovely bride you are.
00:16:18Ashton is a very lucky man.
00:16:23But you can cut the act with me, sweetheart.
00:16:26I know you and Ashton aren't really together.
00:16:31Well, if you really believe that, then why didn't you do something?
00:16:35I wanted to, at first.
00:16:37But then I realized, you're actually perfect.
00:16:43Why didn't you do something?
00:16:44I wanted to, at first.
00:16:47But then I realized, you're actually perfect.
00:16:52A working-class girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
00:16:56Pretty, but not too gorgeous.
00:17:02Sweet, but not too innocent.
00:17:06You're a real-life Cinderella.
00:17:09And the people love seeing a fairy tale come true.
00:17:12How do you know this will work?
00:17:16Because.
00:17:19It worked for Robert and me.
00:17:22My husband built this empire.
00:17:25But he wouldn't have been able to rule it without me.
00:17:28And now it's your turn.
00:17:30To stand next to Ashton on the throne.
00:17:33Support him.
00:17:35Help him.
00:17:37And play your part.
00:17:39I will, Mrs. Cross.
00:17:41Of course you will.
00:17:43And I intend to make sure of it.
00:17:45Stay with Ashton and you'll have everything you need.
00:17:47Title, money.
00:17:48Leave him.
00:17:49Or harm him.
00:17:51Or his company's name.
00:17:53In any way.
00:17:55And not only won't you see a single penny.
00:17:58But I will personally destroy you.
00:18:01Well, that's where you're wrong, Mrs. Cross.
00:18:02I don't want anything from him.
00:18:03I just want Ashton.
00:18:04Ashton.
00:18:05Thornton.
00:18:06Gordon-
00:18:25I just want Ashton.
00:18:36I think it looks perfect.
00:18:39Don't you think so, Mom?
00:18:47The essence of marriage is love, trust, and honesty.
00:18:52The virtues that we as human beings share.
00:18:57Ashton Cross, do you take this woman to be your wedded wife?
00:19:02I do.
00:19:04Zoe Campbell, do you take this man to be your wedded husband?
00:19:08To cherish, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, until death do you part?
00:19:22Yes, I do.
00:19:43As a token of your vows, you may exchange your symbol of love.
00:19:48By the power vested in me, by God, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:20:04You may kiss the bride.
00:20:05Uh-oh.
00:20:35I don't like that look.
00:20:37There seems to be a competition going on called
00:20:38Who Can Come Up With The Most Humiliating Article About Zoe Campbell.
00:20:43Zoe Campbell puts a ring on Ashton Cross a week after becoming his assistant.
00:20:47One can only imagine how good Mrs. Campbell is at impressing her boss.
00:20:54Why are you even reading that garbage?
00:20:58I'm just not used to seeing my name trending.
00:21:00You see something you like?
00:21:09Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:21:10Fine.
00:21:11I'll make you dress for dinner.
00:21:13Uh, uh, I think you're fine.
00:21:15Right where you are.
00:21:17I haven't seen them in white house.
00:21:31Gave me my face to laju over there.
00:21:32Emmy my face to laju over there.
00:21:37It's home.
00:21:38You have something you like.
00:21:40You're so dusty.
00:21:42Just you.
00:21:43I've never felt like this before, Zoe.
00:21:59Look me in my eyes.
00:22:02Tell me you feel the same way.
00:22:06This marriage is just a piece of paper.
00:22:11It's a contract.
00:22:13Nothing more.
00:22:17Okay.
00:22:22Ashton?
00:22:24What happened to the woman at your work who killed herself?
00:22:29Did you know her?
00:22:31Um, no, not really.
00:22:34I know that she was nice.
00:22:36I saw her in the office a few times, but that was it.
00:22:39Why are you asking?
00:22:41Nothing.
00:22:41I, um, saw it on the news.
00:22:45Thought I was sad.
00:22:46Just wanted to know what the deal was.
00:22:49Yeah.
00:22:51Don't worry about the articles.
00:22:53I'll have it taken care of.
00:22:55You won't see anything tomorrow.
00:22:57Yeah.
00:22:59Don't mention it.
00:23:01Good night.
00:23:02I don't know.
00:23:32I don't know.
00:24:02I really hope it wasn't you.
00:24:17I need to get rid of it all.
00:24:26Alright, well, if I can't meet the guy yet, at least have to tell me something about him.
00:24:36What do you guys do?
00:24:38Do you go dancing?
00:24:39Um, he can't really dance.
00:24:41What do you mean he can't dance?
00:24:42You love dancing.
00:24:43He just doesn't, okay?
00:24:46Zoe!
00:24:46I belong to the meeting, and I'm taking you to lunch.
00:24:53I wasn't expecting you on so soon.
00:24:55Oh, can a guy take his girl out on a date?
00:24:58I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:25:06I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:25:19You're a cheeseburger girl, aren't you?
00:25:21Not a lobster girl.
00:25:22What?
00:25:23I'm taking you to lunch, and I never really asked.
00:25:27Do you like cheeseburgers or do you like lobster?
00:25:28Oh, uh, sounds like we need to get some food in you pretty quick.
00:25:35Don't worry.
00:25:36I already made reservations at Il Floor.
00:25:38They have cheeseburgers and lobster.
00:25:41I, look, Ashton, um, there's something I have to tell you.
00:25:45Wait, how could I be so stupid?
00:25:48I keep making these reservations, and I never even asked about your feelings.
00:25:54I keep showing you my world, but you haven't even had a chance to show me yours.
00:25:58Forget the reservations.
00:26:00Let's go wherever you want.
00:26:02Um, okay.
00:26:18Mmm.
00:26:19Now this is food.
00:26:20Mmm.
00:26:20Mmm.
00:26:20Now this is food.
00:26:22Mmm.
00:26:28Is everything okay?
00:26:30Yeah.
00:26:31It's just...
00:26:32I don't do stuff like this often.
00:26:37You wouldn't believe it, but this is my first ever picnic.
00:26:40What?
00:26:40Like, not even as a kid?
00:26:42Between Latin, math, leadership class, we didn't really have time to be kids.
00:26:48Come on.
00:26:55Where are we going?
00:26:56Somewhere we can be kids again.
00:26:57You want me to do this?
00:27:05Uh-huh.
00:27:06Zoe, I'm a 28-year-old man in an $8,500 suit.
00:27:11I'm not kidding on that.
00:27:12That's crazy.
00:27:14I married someone I knew less than 30 hours.
00:27:17I think I get to decide what's crazy or not.
00:27:21This?
00:27:21Yeah, is it done?
00:27:25Is it your first time on a swing?
00:27:27No.
00:27:28Why would you think that?
00:27:29Oh my god, it is.
00:27:31Okay.
00:27:31Look, you're just going to have to trust me, okay?
00:27:33I'm not going to let you fall.
00:27:34Okay.
00:27:35Don't forget.
00:27:36When I was little, my sister used to push me so high, and I would just focus on the sky.
00:27:45It felt like I was flying.
00:27:47Wow.
00:27:52So, Eshin-Cross, what do you think about my world?
00:27:59It's chaotic, but wonderful.
00:28:06Hey, you two!
00:28:11This is clearly not the time or place.
00:28:13Children, God, get a room!
00:28:27You see anything you like?
00:28:30Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:28:36Now, that, I haven't seen before.
00:28:38I love what you've done with the place.
00:29:06None for me.
00:29:09Since when?
00:29:13Since...
00:29:13Holy shit, you're pregnant?
00:29:17Am I going to get to meet the guy before I leave town?
00:29:19It's complicated.
00:29:21He's complicated, and everything's happening so fast, and I'm scared that something might
00:29:26go wrong.
00:29:27You are happy, though, right?
00:29:29I just worry about you living here without me now.
00:29:32Zoe, I'm fine.
00:29:33I mean, I don't know, you're just rushing into this relationship, and now, motherhood
00:29:38adds so much stress.
00:29:39I'm in a really good place now.
00:29:42I've been doing this new therapy.
00:29:44Yeah, but, I mean, you're rushing into a relationship with this guy that is going to be the father
00:29:48of your child, and I haven't even met him.
00:29:50Zoe...
00:29:51He loves me.
00:29:55I know he does.
00:29:59He loves me.
00:30:00I know he does.
00:30:04You'd be crazy not to.
00:30:05You'd be crazy not to.
00:30:18Audrey?
00:30:19No, Audrey, please!
00:30:28Zoe, are you okay?
00:30:30Zoe.
00:30:32You're screaming.
00:30:33I am.
00:30:34I am.
00:30:36I'm fine.
00:30:38I'm fine.
00:30:44I'm fine.
00:30:46Are you sure?
00:30:47I had a sister.
00:30:57Our parents died when we were young, so, you know, growing up in orphanages and foster homes,
00:31:06you never really feel like anything belongs to you.
00:31:10Snacks and toys.
00:31:11You share everything.
00:31:15And my sister, she, um, she developed this habit that any time she felt like something was, like, hers,
00:31:23truly hers, she would, um, write her initials on it.
00:31:27She was all I had, and now that she's gone, I just feel like I don't have it.
00:31:40And I totally understand.
00:31:50My dad was the only person alive who understood me.
00:31:57And after he died,
00:31:58I haven't had a real connection with anyone since.
00:32:03Anything remotely real, Xander would sabotage out of jealousy.
00:32:11Wait here.
00:32:12Now I can have something that's actually yours again.
00:32:31You can't blame this all on your brother.
00:32:45You need to learn to control your anger.
00:32:49It's consuming you.
00:32:50If you're not asking, I'm not answering.
00:32:52You know this is the only way.
00:32:55It should be me and you know it.
00:32:56And he had the nerve to offer me an advisor position to the company you took away from me.
00:33:02You think I want to hand the company over to him?
00:33:12You're right, Xander.
00:33:13It should be you.
00:33:15But we have the board and the shareholders to convince.
00:33:18And they're blind.
00:33:20All they see is you in a wheelchair.
00:33:22Fuck the board!
00:33:23Fuck the shareholders!
00:33:24This is what I mean!
00:33:25The rage!
00:33:28You were once committed to getting better.
00:33:32We can get over what happened.
00:33:35But you have to want it.
00:33:38He doesn't deserve everything.
00:33:40Your father would have wanted you both to be happy.
00:33:43And that's all I want for you.
00:33:45Are you sure you're not coming?
00:34:02Do I want to go to a charity gala that zombie rich people hold just to feel better about buying three million dollar mansions and not paying taxes?
00:34:09I'm good.
00:34:12Thank you, Thab.
00:34:13Hey, you better watch it.
00:34:15You're married to one of those rich snobby people now.
00:34:18Come on, Zoe.
00:34:20We'll find some way to have fun.
00:34:29Go.
00:34:30You'll be late.
00:34:31Fine.
00:34:33I'll have a car to pick you up if you change your mind.
00:34:51Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:34:52Audrey.
00:35:06Audrey.
00:35:09Can you get the car ready, please?
00:35:21I am going to the gala.
00:35:23And, um, don't let Mr. Cross know I'm coming.
00:35:28I want it to be a surprise.
00:35:35Care to grab your brother a drink?
00:35:37So, how's the married life?
00:35:50And how's my sister-in-law?
00:35:52She's good.
00:35:54You know, this isn't really her thing.
00:35:56That's good.
00:35:57You know, I was worried about her.
00:35:59People are going to say what they're going to say, but...
00:36:02She shouldn't let those rumors bother her.
00:36:04Rumors?
00:36:06What are you talking about?
00:36:07I took care of everything.
00:36:09This came out 30 minutes ago.
00:36:12An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell,
00:36:19showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:36:22The news confirms suspicions that Zoe is a ploy for Ashton to finally seize the throne of Cross Enterprise.
00:36:32I'm just glad Zoe's not here to take the blow.
00:36:34You told me you barely knew her.
00:36:49What are you talking about?
00:36:50I'm talking about this book.
00:36:51That's Xander's book.
00:36:53Zoe, we got something bigger going on right now.
00:36:54What do you mean it's Xander's book?
00:36:56How could he...
00:36:57Yeah, I can tell you're upset, but look at this.
00:37:03An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell,
00:37:09showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:37:11I know that this is a sham marriage, but I'm falling for you.
00:37:17And I want to protect us, protect you.
00:37:21I don't know why, but I believe you.
00:37:24I don't know if you're a psychopath or if everything I thought I knew was wrong.
00:37:31I don't know what's going on with you.
00:37:33I am falling for you, but these people, they're going to eat you alive.
00:37:37Well, I like to think I act fast under pressure.
00:37:43Zoe, wait.
00:37:49Zoe, what are you doing?
00:37:51Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:37:54I'm Zoe Cross.
00:37:56I'm sure you all know my husband, Ashton Cross.
00:37:59Now, I'm aware that many are questioning the authenticity of our marriage,
00:38:05and I'm here to confirm that it's true.
00:38:11Our marriage was a sham.
00:38:15I signed a prenup agreeing to marry Ashton because I thought that it would bring me wealth and fame,
00:38:22but I was wrong.
00:38:25It turned out to be so much more than that.
00:38:28He isn't just this spoiled rich kid, playboy, heartbreaker.
00:38:35Everything people say is just to sell stories.
00:38:41He's actually kinder and stronger and better.
00:38:47And I want him to know that I'm falling for him, too.
00:38:54I'll have to know today.
00:39:05Okay.
00:39:14Oh
00:39:44I can feel you staring at me I haven't felt like this in a while
00:40:15I feel like myself
00:40:19Sometimes when I look in the mirror I don't recognize myself
00:40:25When I see you, I see you
00:40:32You promise?
00:40:35Cross my heart
00:40:44Hey Chad?
00:40:54Of course
00:40:56What can I do for you?
00:41:00I know that you are the anonymous source and that you sent the press our marriage contract
00:41:07I don't want to make a deal
00:41:09Why would I do something like that?
00:41:12It doesn't matter and I don't care but for whatever reason you're doing it you're coming between Ashton and I
00:41:18Do you mean your scam of a marriage?
00:41:21It was but it's real now
00:41:24I just want you and Ashton to repair this relationship so that we can all be happy
00:41:30What's your angle here?
00:41:31There's no angle I just
00:41:34I'm going through my own trauma and there are a lot of things that I wish I could go back and say differently to my sister
00:41:42I know you have a history and I know that it's difficult
00:41:50But it's worth making amends
00:41:52Does he know I leaked the story to the press?
00:41:57I don't know
00:41:58He's been through enough already
00:42:10Whatever hurt that you've caused each other can be forgiven
00:42:16What if the things you've done aren't forgivable?
00:42:18The past doesn't matter
00:42:22Just what you do now matters
00:42:25You fell for him
00:42:28I got to know him
00:42:30Maybe you should too
00:42:35Maybe
00:42:48I really hope that you and your brother can work things out
00:43:00I'd like nothing more than to get closer to you Zoe
00:43:03This is impossible
00:43:16This is important Henry
00:43:21I need to know I can trust you on this
00:43:25Of course you can Xander but why are you
00:43:27I don't need questions Henry, I need answers
00:43:32Don't worry, I'll have the best results in 24 hours
00:43:35Good, call me when you have it
00:43:37And remember, I was never here
00:43:39Good, call me when you have it
00:43:40Good, call me when you have it
00:43:41Good, call me when you have it
00:43:43And remember, I was never here
00:43:44I know that you were the anonymous source
00:44:02I know that you were the anonymous source
00:44:05I know that you are the anonymous source.
00:44:18Hey, I have the test results.
00:44:21It's a perfect match.
00:44:23So they're related.
00:44:24It's more than that, Xander.
00:44:25I said, perfect match.
00:44:27The two DNA samples are identical.
00:44:31I feel like I know you from somewhere.
00:44:34Maybe another life.
00:44:35They're twins.
00:44:40Good morning, Mrs. Cross.
00:45:07Is it about time?
00:45:08For cleaning?
00:45:10Yes, Mrs. Cross.
00:45:11I come every Monday.
00:45:13I can always come back.
00:45:14No, come in.
00:45:15I'll just go get a coffee.
00:45:17It won't take long, Mrs. Cross.
00:45:23I'm in.
00:45:23I'm in.
00:45:39This is sick time, Xander.
00:45:46I'm a private detective, not a sniffer dog.
00:45:49Oh, it's okay.
00:46:02Well, let's go over.
00:46:08If you're thinking of having one of those, I won't object.
00:46:33You handled the crisis. Wow.
00:46:35I was sure you'd run away with your tail between your legs.
00:46:40But you stayed.
00:46:43But what for?
00:46:47Now I know no one gets close to my sons without wanting something.
00:46:52The question is, what do you want?
00:47:05Voila.
00:47:10What do you want?
00:47:16You're right, Lauren. I think I did want something from Ashton, but I don't know that I want it now.
00:47:22I recognize that look on your face.
00:47:30It happened to me with Robert, Sander and Ashton's father.
00:47:35I fell in love with a man I hated.
00:47:38It was an arranged marriage, and I didn't want to be in it.
00:47:44I got to truly know him.
00:47:47And it changed me.
00:47:52Don't stare at me like that, Zoe.
00:47:55You might think I'm a witch whose heart is made of stone, but I still know what love is.
00:48:00You wanted to see me?
00:48:09Take a seat.
00:48:15What's up?
00:48:16I found something, and I think you should see this.
00:48:24She's Audrey's sister?
00:48:26She changed her identity, her face, just to get close to you.
00:48:30Why?
00:48:31Think about it, Ashton.
00:48:32She came into your life out of nowhere, three months after Audrey's death.
00:48:36She lied to you, married you, manipulated you, shared a bed with you.
00:48:41There's only one thing that drives people this far.
00:48:45Revenge.
00:48:47I'm sorry, little brother.
00:48:50Looks like it's time to wake up from this dream.
00:48:52You're just saying that because you want me to help run your precious company.
00:49:01Yes, I was Robert's wife, and his company is very important to me.
00:49:06But I'm also a mother.
00:49:11I can see Ashton cares about you more than the others.
00:49:18He has calmed his playboy antics.
00:49:21I can see he's a better person with you.
00:49:25There was one woman before, but she disappeared.
00:49:28Who knows why?
00:49:30She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being across.
00:49:32Love isn't logical, Zoe.
00:49:45And loving Ashton is probably the most illogical thing you could do.
00:49:49But that doesn't make it wrong.
00:49:51Wait.
00:49:57There was another woman?
00:49:59A serious relationship?
00:50:00What happened to her?
00:50:02I don't know, Zoe.
00:50:04You probably got sick of her like all the other girls.
00:50:07You're here now.
00:50:09She's gone forever.
00:50:10And for some reason, he likes keeping you around.
00:50:15So you're my only hope.
00:50:17Your only hope for what?
00:50:18A family legacy, Zoe.
00:50:22Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:50:26Ashton is the future of this company and this family.
00:50:30Xander's reign ended in that car accident.
00:50:34Everything is working according to plan.
00:50:37At least for Ashton.
00:50:42What?
00:50:48Ashton?
00:50:52You actually believe it?
00:50:55That I got Audrey?
00:50:57I don't want to.
00:51:00But I see it now.
00:51:03The AC tattoo.
00:51:06The high-profile lover.
00:51:08The pregnancy.
00:51:11It has to be you.
00:51:12There's no other explanation.
00:51:13Wait.
00:51:21Audrey was pregnant?
00:51:23You didn't know, did you?
00:51:31When you pushed her off the balcony?
00:51:33I never slept with Audrey.
00:51:37She was with someone else.
00:51:39Stop lying to me.
00:51:41You've been lying to me!
00:51:42I wanted to tell you.
00:51:45But how do you tell someone?
00:51:47That you completely changed what you looked like to avenge your sister's death.
00:51:51You made me fall in love with you.
00:51:55And I fell in love with the man who murdered my Audrey.
00:51:59I didn't kill her, Zoe.
00:52:01I swear.
00:52:05It crossed my heart.
00:52:11I really wish that it wasn't you.
00:52:32Would you believe me if I said I really did love you?
00:52:36Neither would I.
00:52:44Neither would I.
00:52:44Oh, my God.
00:52:55Oh, my God.
00:52:58Oh.
00:53:01Oh.
00:53:02Oh, my God.
00:53:03Oh, my God.
00:53:09You won't.
00:53:40Paternity test results.
00:54:10Xander, now's not a good time.
00:54:12Now is the perfect time.
00:54:14I know where Zoe is.
00:54:16I'll send you the address, but you better hurry if you want to say goodbye.
00:54:22What are you talking about?
00:54:24Everyone has their tipping point, Ash.
00:54:26All I need to do is give her one tiny push.
00:54:32Xander, if you hurt her, I'll kill you.
00:54:38You've already done that, Ash.
00:54:40Two years ago.
00:54:43Xander.
00:54:45Xander.
00:54:46Faternity test results.
00:55:00A family legacy, Zoe.
00:55:03I see.
00:55:04Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:55:08Xander, cross.
00:55:09Xander, cross.
00:55:12Um, he can't really dance.
00:55:36What do you mean he can't dance?
00:55:38You love dancing.
00:55:38He just doesn't, okay?
00:55:40Audrey betrayed me.
00:55:46What are you doing here?
00:55:48And so did Ashton.
00:55:50I guess some curses do run in the family.
00:55:55Get inside.
00:55:56Happy birthday.
00:56:16Oh, Xander.
00:56:17Wow, this is an amazing gift.
00:56:23But I was hoping that maybe I could ask for something else.
00:56:28Anything.
00:56:29Um, well, I was thinking that maybe it was time that we take our relationship public.
00:56:35So that we don't have to keep this a secret.
00:56:44You're pregnant.
00:56:47We're gonna have the baby.
00:56:50I never thought I'd come to this.
00:56:53But you're happy, right?
00:56:54Of course.
00:56:58I'm so happy.
00:56:59I love you, Xander.
00:57:02I love you, Audrey.
00:57:05You're mine.
00:57:07Now and forever.
00:57:08Come on, help me out.
00:57:10Let me put this necklace on my future wife.
00:57:16Turn around.
00:57:17Turn around.
00:57:17Xander, what are you doing?
00:57:32I never told you this.
00:57:34Because I was ashamed.
00:57:36I can't have kids.
00:57:39You want to fool me into being your crippled rich husband?
00:57:42Xander, please.
00:57:43I have proof.
00:57:45It's your baby.
00:57:47Our baby.
00:57:51Get inside.
00:58:06It was you.
00:58:08You killed Audrey.
00:58:11And you're the one who sent my DNA and my passport to Ashton.
00:58:15All of it was you.
00:58:17How did you know who I was?
00:58:19The day you came and visited me in my office,
00:58:21you hugged me the exact same way she did.
00:58:26The exact same way she did.
00:58:34Sentiments can really fuck things up, huh?
00:58:36And so you're going to kill me now, too?
00:58:40No.
00:58:42I have a better plan for you.
00:58:44Zoe!
00:58:44No, no.
00:58:45Ashton, no, you can't come in.
00:58:46Please.
00:58:47Zoe, thank God.
00:58:50Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.
00:58:52I don't know about you, but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
00:59:00Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.
00:59:04I don't know about you, but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
00:59:07One more step and she's dead.
00:59:10It's not her fault what happened.
00:59:12It's mine.
00:59:12Don't worry about it.
00:59:14You're going to get yours.
00:59:15I'm going to have my payback.
00:59:17I'm going to take back everything you took from me.
00:59:20My job, my title, my reputation.
00:59:24But in order to do that, I've got to make sure you never get in my way again.
00:59:30You see two sisters dying in the same apartment.
00:59:35That's going to lead to suspicion.
00:59:37But if I can connect...
00:59:38Have you lost your mind?
00:59:39Let me fucking finish.
00:59:42If I can connect them to the same men.
00:59:48You killed Audrey?
00:59:49You killed Audrey?
00:59:55You did.
00:59:57Soon the B.C.U.O. turns out to be a maniac.
01:00:01Brutally killing his mistress and his wife.
01:00:04After he kills her, he turns himself in.
01:00:09Or puts the gun to his own head, I don't care.
01:00:12You choose, little brother.
01:00:14You can't get away with it.
01:00:15Of course I will.
01:00:16All I got to do is convince the shareholders.
01:00:20You'd be surprised how quickly a bunch of lies can turn into the truth.
01:00:25But enough of that.
01:00:26We don't have all night.
01:00:27Ladies first.
01:00:35Xander, you don't have to do this.
01:00:36Shut the fuck up.
01:00:38Just shut the fuck up.
01:00:40Please.
01:00:40You're too late, little brother.
01:00:43Two years too late.
01:00:45You chose this.
01:00:47You could have lived your life with someone who truly loved you, but instead you murdered her.
01:00:51She never loved me.
01:00:52She had an AC tattoo.
01:00:54She loved you so much that she marked herself as yours.
01:00:56She betrayed me with another man.
01:00:59Did you not see the paternity test?
01:01:04It's all right here.
01:01:08If you kill me now, the police will come and they'll find me and they'll link me to Audrey
01:01:14and they'll know that you murdered her while she was pregnant with your baby.
01:01:18I'm fucking lying.
01:01:19You should have trusted Audrey.
01:01:22But you were so blinded by your jealousy and your anger
01:01:26that you killed someone who truly loved you.
01:01:38Action!
01:01:38You're a liar, Zoe Campbell.
01:01:49And you're dead.
01:01:54Audrey Hale.
01:01:56Mother.
01:01:5899.9% match with...
01:02:03Alexandra Cross.
01:02:07Father.
01:02:08Oh, Jesus.
01:02:11What have I done?
01:02:13What have I done?
01:02:16I'm so sorry, Audrey.
01:02:18So that we don't have to keep this a secret.
01:02:24You're pregnant.
01:02:26We're gonna have a baby.
01:02:30I'm so sorry.
