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