00:00:00Will you marry me?
00:00:07Yes.
00:00:08She's been cross.
00:00:09I'll marry you.
00:00:10No one gets close to my sons without wanting something.
00:00:11What do you want?
00:00:12Zoey, he loves me.
00:00:13I know he does.
00:00:14I've changed my face.
00:00:33I've come so far.
00:00:34I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:00:35And I'll make him pay.
00:00:37There's no turning back.
00:00:38I promise.
00:01:07Hi, I'm Zoey Campbell.
00:01:10I'm here for my interview.
00:01:16Take a seat.
00:01:17We'll call you when he's ready.
00:01:18Oh, okay.
00:01:27I have an interview later, Mother.
00:01:29I swear.
00:01:30Ashton, you throw away assistants as if they have expiration dates printed on them.
00:01:34Don't worry.
00:01:35I won't take long.
00:01:37This is the third time this month.
00:01:39And every time it means thousands of dollars paid to shut up these blood-sucking flies on the wall.
00:01:46Come on.
00:01:48Boys just want to have fun.
00:01:49Not when you're taking over a publicly traded company in two weeks.
00:01:56You leave me no choice.
00:02:00You're not crossing me off the trust fund.
00:02:03I won't.
00:02:05If you get married.
00:02:07This company is your father's life's work.
00:02:10I'm not letting a weak link ruin it.
00:02:12I'm so sorry for interrupting.
00:02:21Who did her hair?
00:02:22Do you think she even combed it this morning?
00:02:24No.
00:02:25She did not comb it.
00:02:26It's called a rat's nest.
00:02:27Oh, yes.
00:02:31This is bullshit.
00:02:32It can help redeem your image.
00:02:34It'll show the public that you've stopped screwing around and started acting like a grown-up.
00:02:39I never wanted to be CEO.
00:02:40You know very well why it cannot be the same.
00:02:45Or do I have to remind you?
00:02:49No.
00:02:57You're the heir to the Cross family, Ashton.
00:03:01This is the hand you've been dealt with.
00:03:03Play it well.
00:03:06This company is your father's life's work.
00:03:09I'm so sorry for interrupting, but Jeff said he needed your signature in three minutes.
00:03:15Or we wouldn't be able to close the contract with Gabe from K&L.
00:03:19And he'd be really, really unhappy.
00:03:22Who are you?
00:03:23Pam from Marketing Strategies.
00:03:26Mrs. Cross, it's a pleasure to meet you.
00:03:28Thank you, Pam.
00:03:29Well, obviously, Pam and I have a lot of work to do.
00:03:33We'll talk about this another time.
00:03:36You're not off the hook, Ashton.
00:03:38I've gone through great lengths to set you up with some very worthy candidates.
00:03:42Remember, you have two weeks, and I want to see a ring.
00:03:50We're so sorry, Mr. Cross.
00:03:51We didn't mean to let this woman disturb you.
00:03:54Yeah, we're really sorry.
00:03:55We'll escort her out right away.
00:03:56Did I say I wanted her out?
00:03:59She's fine. She can stay.
00:04:01Go back to work.
00:04:05Now, go back to work!
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:14Zoe Campbell.
00:04:16Why did you just burst in here like that?
00:04:18I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but it sounded like you could use an escape from that conversation.
00:04:22And you came up with that whole story on the spot, just like that?
00:04:25I act fast under pressure.
00:04:33You're hired.
00:04:35Okay.
00:04:36Your first day starts right now.
00:04:38Didn't expect it to be so easy, but yes, I guess it all starts right now.
00:04:48I never said I was selling.
00:04:51Xander, wouldn't it make more sense if you didn't live in a penthouse?
00:04:57You'd also be closer to your PT, which Mother says is progressing.
00:05:02I wouldn't call taking five steps with a walker progressing.
00:05:06I should probably leave.
00:05:08Stay.
00:05:09I see my little brother has yet another young lady in his life.
00:05:13This is my new assistant.
00:05:15Her name is Zoe.
00:05:17I shall enjoy getting to know your acquaintance, Zoe.
00:05:20At least these next few months.
00:05:21Xander.
00:05:22I can fend for myself.
00:05:26What happened to you?
00:05:27Car accident.
00:05:28Our father died.
00:05:30Cross kingdom shattered overnight.
00:05:32What the press forgot to mention.
00:05:35You were there in the accident.
00:05:39Can we discuss the apartment?
00:05:41This meeting has completely been derailed.
00:05:44Zoe, perhaps it's best if Xander and I continue alone.
00:05:54Wait, Zoe.
00:05:55That's what I'm telling you now.
00:05:58If he doesn't bend you over one way, he'll break you another.
00:06:03Really, Xander?
00:06:04Thank you for your concern.
00:06:07But the last thing you need to worry about is me falling for your brother.
00:06:11I assure you, you should be more afraid of me.
00:06:15Interesting.
00:06:16Xander, please.
00:06:18I'm only trying to help you.
00:06:23I don't know about you, but I could use a drink.
00:06:34I guess you could say that my relationship with my brother is improving.
00:06:38I mean, at least you're willing to work on it.
00:06:40I know my brother, and I know he's charming.
00:06:43Most of those women were in your position.
00:06:46Maybe Xander secretly wants to be close to you.
00:06:49Yeah.
00:06:50We don't have to talk about my brother or business.
00:06:54What should we talk about?
00:06:57We don't have to talk about my brother or business.
00:07:01What should we talk about?
00:07:03You tricked my mother and stood your own against Xander on the same day.
00:07:08That makes me a little curious.
00:07:12You know, they say curiosity is a dangerous thing.
00:07:16I'm not just another assistant you're going to go home with.
00:07:20I've had a lovely evening, though, and I'll see you tomorrow.
00:07:33All right.
00:08:03Curiosity isn't enough.
00:08:11I need his trust.
00:08:14I've changed my face.
00:08:15I've come so far.
00:08:17There's no turning back.
00:08:19I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey, and I'll make him pay.
00:08:24I promise.
00:08:29I can't believe she left with Ashton last night.
00:08:32You know what they say.
00:08:33You sleep with the right person, you get the right job.
00:08:36Oh, my God.
00:08:37You spilled coffee everywhere.
00:08:51That was so embarrassing.
00:08:53Excuse me, ladies.
00:08:54I'm afraid I need to confiscate your key cards and escort you out.
00:08:58Wait, what?
00:08:59Why?
00:09:00It was a direct order from Mr. Cross.
00:09:02He fired us?
00:09:03I mean, he can't do that.
00:09:05I believe he can.
00:09:07Now, are you packing yourself, or do you need a hand?
00:09:19You mess with the wrong person, you lose your job.
00:09:35Zoe, get in.
00:09:37You're coming with me.
00:09:39Look, Mr. Cross, I appreciate what you did, but I can't be seen going home with you every night.
00:09:45It's unprofessional.
00:09:46Zoe, you're my assistant now.
00:09:48You're going to work when I need you to work, or I can save us both the trouble and fire you right now.
00:09:5526 hours, that would be a record even for me.
00:10:03Can I at least ask where we're going?
00:10:06On a date.
00:10:08What?
00:10:11Can I at least ask where we're going?
00:10:14On a date.
00:10:16What?
00:10:18Mr. Cross, I can't do this.
00:10:21Relax, Zoe.
00:10:22This isn't for you.
00:10:24This is for me and a friend.
00:10:27You brought me on a date with another woman?
00:10:30Technically, three other women.
00:10:32Why would you do that?
00:10:34I trust your judgment.
00:10:35Tell me which one of these girls I should marry.
00:10:41I just love yachts.
00:10:43You know, you sail out from L.A. and the entire Atlantic Ocean is yours.
00:10:49The Pacific Ocean.
00:10:51What?
00:10:53Never mind.
00:10:55I actually don't own a yacht.
00:10:57But you're rich!
00:10:59I'm sorry, this is a deal breaker.
00:11:03Maybe you should just go for your assistant.
00:11:05She's on maintenance.
00:11:08Okay.
00:11:10Babies, I mean, they're just so small.
00:11:12They're scrunchy and they look old, like old people.
00:11:15But they're little and they're babies and they don't know how to talk to you.
00:11:18And so they start screaming and they start crying and then they poop and it goes everywhere and they throw up.
00:11:24And honestly, it's the grossest thing I've ever experienced in my entire life.
00:11:28And not even that I experience babies because I've never been around babies.
00:11:31Other than the fact that I used to be a baby, I just, I do not like babies.
00:11:35Like, at all.
00:11:36I think children are one of the most amazing gifts of life.
00:11:39And you are so funny, Ashton.
00:11:42I mean, the reality is just that babies would also get in the way of my social life.
00:11:46And I have very high standards for, like, living.
00:11:51And so...
00:11:52Don't you think that's kind of selfish?
00:11:56I'm being a realist.
00:11:58And you're joking, right?
00:12:00A man with your Playboy reputation?
00:12:03You're honestly telling me that you want to settle down and have children?
00:12:09You are so funny.
00:12:13You are so funny.
00:12:16My mother said that you study literature.
00:12:19Have you read Fitzgerald?
00:12:21Who?
00:12:23Oh, no, I didn't go to school.
00:12:25Did I go to school with him?
00:12:26I don't think I went to school with him.
00:12:28No, no, no.
00:12:29Fitzgerald.
00:12:30The great Gatsby.
00:12:32I love Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:12:35I love him.
00:12:36I was at a party, and he was, like, so hitting on me.
00:12:39It was so crazy.
00:12:40He was so short.
00:12:41It was so weird.
00:12:42Everything's been taken care of.
00:12:43Have a great night, all right?
00:12:44Oh, you paid for it?
00:12:45Yeah.
00:12:46Oh, really?
00:12:47Oh, thank you.
00:12:48Joy, let's go?
00:12:49Yeah.
00:12:50Where are we going?
00:12:51Have another date.
00:12:52Can you order another on your way out?
00:12:54Absolutely.
00:12:55Okay.
00:12:56Tell your mom I said hi.
00:12:57I miss her.
00:12:58Yes, will do.
00:12:59Okay.
00:13:06Cheers.
00:13:10So, um, Fitzgerald, you want kids?
00:13:14I have to say, I did not expect that.
00:13:17Let me guess.
00:13:19You thought I was some playboy who didn't care about anything,
00:13:22just like everybody else.
00:13:24Truth is, when people misunderstand you,
00:13:28and enough misunderstand you,
00:13:31you slowly forget who you are, too.
00:13:35This place is amazing.
00:13:40Xander and I designed this place.
00:13:43Wow.
00:13:44You were close.
00:13:46Yeah.
00:13:48Until we weren't.
00:13:52Do you have any siblings?
00:13:54No.
00:13:55Um, it's just me.
00:13:59You know, two years ago, it was actually me.
00:14:03It was supposed to be on that flight to Zurich with my father.
00:14:06Not Xander.
00:14:08Sometimes I wish it was me.
00:14:14It was late at night.
00:14:18The car was headed to the airport.
00:14:22But I didn't show up.
00:14:26Xander was the heir.
00:14:29He was raised to take over the company.
00:14:34But I ruined him.
00:14:36You didn't ruin him.
00:14:38No one's meant to be one thing.
00:14:40I mean, we all have a choice.
00:14:44Not in my world, Zoe.
00:14:46You saw for yourself.
00:14:48I can't even get married when I'd like.
00:14:51Well, maybe not when, but you get to choose who.
00:14:54That's the most important part.
00:14:57That's the most important part.
00:15:05What if I chose you?
00:15:15What if I chose you?
00:15:19What?
00:15:22You heard me.
00:15:25What?
00:15:28Zoe Campbell.
00:15:30Will you marry me?
00:15:34This is a joke.
00:15:36You're joking.
00:15:38I've never been more serious.
00:15:41Listen, Eshen, you may be used to getting whatever you want whenever you want it.
00:15:45I don't want to marry you out of convenience.
00:15:48Zoe.
00:15:51Women see me as a golden ticket to money and fame.
00:15:55My father's passed away.
00:15:57Xander sees me as competition, and my mother sees me as a pawn to save the family business.
00:16:02But you, Zoe, you actually see me for who I really am.
00:16:07That's good.
00:16:09You should have used that with some of your blind dates.
00:16:15I have to get married, or I'm crossed off the trust fund.
00:16:18Negotiate your price.
00:16:20I'll have it put together.
00:16:23I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey, and I'll make him pay.
00:16:39How do I look?
00:16:43The city's most eligible bachelor is off the market.
00:16:47My mom gets what she wants.
00:16:49Most able-bodied son.
00:16:51Takes the throne and keeps his trust fund.
00:16:54And today's your big day.
00:16:56See you out there.
00:17:09This is cross.
00:17:13What a lovely bride you are.
00:17:16Ashton is a very lucky man.
00:17:21But you can cut the act with me, sweetheart.
00:17:24I know you and Ashton aren't really together.
00:17:28Well, if you really believe that, then why didn't you do something?
00:17:32I wanted to, at first.
00:17:35But then I realized, you're actually perfect.
00:17:40Why didn't you do something?
00:17:42I wanted to, at first.
00:17:45But then I realized, you're actually perfect.
00:17:50A working-class girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
00:17:54Pretty, but not too gorgeous.
00:18:00Sweet, but not too innocent.
00:18:05You're a real-life Cinderella.
00:18:07And the people love seeing a fairy tale come true.
00:18:12How do you know this will work?
00:18:14Because.
00:18:17It worked for Robert and me.
00:18:20My husband built this empire, but he wouldn't have been able to rule it without me.
00:18:26And now it's your turn.
00:18:28To stand next to Ashton on the throne.
00:18:31Support him.
00:18:33Help him.
00:18:35And play your part.
00:18:39I will, Mrs. Cross.
00:18:41Of course you will.
00:18:43And I intend to make sure of it.
00:18:54Stay with Ashton and you'll have everything you need.
00:18:57Title, money.
00:19:00Leave him.
00:19:02Or harm him.
00:19:03Or his company's name.
00:19:04In any way.
00:19:07And not only won't you see a single penny.
00:19:10But I will personally destroy you.
00:19:16Well, that's where you're wrong, Mrs. Cross.
00:19:19I don't want anything from him.
00:19:22I just want Ashton.
00:19:34I think it looks perfect.
00:19:36Don't you think so?
00:19:38Mom.
00:19:45The essence of marriage is love, trust, and honesty.
00:19:50Virtues that we as human beings share.
00:19:54Ashton Cross.
00:19:56Do you take this woman to be your wedded wife?
00:19:59I do.
00:20:01Zoe Campbell.
00:20:03Do you take this man to be your wedded husband?
00:20:06To cherish.
00:20:07For better or worse.
00:20:09For richer or poorer.
00:20:11Until death do you part?
00:20:37Yes.
00:20:39I do.
00:20:42As a token of your vows, you may exchange your symbol of love.
00:20:56By the power vested in me, by God, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:21:02You may kiss the bride.
00:21:33Uh oh.
00:21:34I don't like that look.
00:21:35There seems to be a competition going on called
00:21:37who can come up with the most humiliating article about Zoe Campbell.
00:21:41Zoe Campbell puts a ring on Ashton Cross a week after becoming his assistant.
00:21:45One can only imagine how good Mrs. Campbell is at impressing her boss.
00:21:52Why are you even reading that garbage?
00:21:56I'm just not used to seeing my name trending.
00:22:05I see something you like.
00:22:07Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:22:09Fine. How many do you dress for dinner?
00:22:11Uh, I think you're fine. Right where you are.
00:22:45Fine.
00:22:50Sorry.
00:22:54I've never felt like this before Zoe.
00:22:58Look me in my eyes.
00:23:00Tell me you feel the same way.
00:23:05This marriage is just a piece of paper.
00:23:10It's a contract.
00:23:12Nothing more.
00:23:16Okay.
00:23:20Ashton.
00:23:23What happened to the woman at your work who killed herself?
00:23:27Did you know her?
00:23:29Um, no, not really.
00:23:32I know that she was nice.
00:23:34I saw her in the office a few times, but that was it.
00:23:37Why are you asking?
00:23:39Nothing. I, um, saw it on the news.
00:23:43Thought it was sad.
00:23:45Just wanted to know what the deal was.
00:23:47Yeah.
00:23:49Don't worry about the articles.
00:23:51I'll have it taken care of.
00:23:53You won't see anything tomorrow.
00:23:57Yeah. Don't mention it.
00:24:00Good night.
00:24:13Good night.
00:24:43...certain members of the well-known Saviano and Mancini family.
00:24:47We'll be sure to update everyone on that story as we...
00:24:51Back to you, Tom.
00:24:56We'll be sure to update everyone on that story as we...
00:25:00Back to you, Tom.
00:25:14I really hope it wasn't you.
00:25:23I need to get rid of it all.
00:25:31Alright, well, if I can't meet the guy, you at least have to tell me something about him.
00:25:35What do you guys do? Do you go dancing?
00:25:37Um, he can't really dance.
00:25:39What do you mean he can't dance? He loved dancing. He just doesn't, okay?
00:25:44Zoey!
00:25:48I'm a while from the meeting, and I'm taking you to lunch.
00:25:51I wasn't expecting you on so soon.
00:25:54Oh, can a guy take his girl out on a date?
00:25:58Yeah.
00:26:00But...
00:26:02I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:26:10I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:26:17You're a cheeseburger girl, aren't you? Not a lobster girl?
00:26:20What?
00:26:21I'm taking you to lunch, and I never really asked.
00:26:25Do you like cheeseburgers, or do you like lobster?
00:26:27Uh...
00:26:30Oh, sounds like we need to get some food in you pretty quick.
00:26:34Don't worry. I already made reservations at Il Flore.
00:26:37They have cheeseburgers and lobster.
00:26:39I... look, Ashton, um, there's something I have to tell you.
00:26:44Wait. How can I be so stupid?
00:26:47I keep making these reservations, and I never even asked about your feelings.
00:26:52I keep showing you my world, but you haven't even had a chance to show me yours.
00:26:57Forget the reservations. Let's go wherever you want.
00:27:01Um... okay.
00:27:04Okay.
00:27:17Mmm. Now this is food.
00:27:27Is everything okay?
00:27:29Yeah. It's just...
00:27:33I don't do stuff like this often.
00:27:36You wouldn't believe it, but this is my first ever picnic.
00:27:39What? Like, not even as a kid?
00:27:41Between Latin, math, leadership class, we didn't really have time to be kids.
00:27:53Come on.
00:27:54Where are we going?
00:27:55Somewhere we can be kids again.
00:28:02You want me to do this?
00:28:04Uh-huh.
00:28:05Zoe, I'm a 28-year-old man in an $8,500 suit.
00:28:09I'm not kidding on that. That's crazy.
00:28:12I married someone I knew less than 30 hours.
00:28:15I think I get to decide what's crazy or not.
00:28:19This?
00:28:20Yeah, sit down.
00:28:24Is it your first time on a swing?
00:28:26No. Why would you think that?
00:28:28Oh my god, it is. Okay.
00:28:30Look, you're just gonna have to trust me, okay?
00:28:32I'm not gonna let you fall.
00:28:33Okay. Don't forget it.
00:28:37When I was little, my sister used to push me so high,
00:28:40and I would just focus on the sky.
00:28:43It felt like I was flying.
00:28:46Wow.
00:28:50So, Ashton Cross, what do you think about my world?
00:28:57It's chaotic.
00:29:00But wonderful.
00:29:08Hey, you two!
00:29:10This is clearly not the time or place.
00:29:12Children! God, get a room!
00:29:26You see anything you like?
00:29:29Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:29:34Now that I haven't seen before.
00:29:59I love what you've done with the place.
00:30:02None for me.
00:30:04Since when?
00:30:06Since...
00:30:09Holy shit, you're pregnant?
00:30:11Am I gonna get to meet the guy before I leave town?
00:30:14It's complicated.
00:30:15He's complicated, and everything's happening so fast,
00:30:19and I'm scared that something might go wrong.
00:30:21You are happy, though, right?
00:30:23I just worry about you living here without me now.
00:30:25Zoe, I'm fine.
00:30:27I mean, I don't know.
00:30:28You're just rushing into this relationship,
00:30:30and now, motherhood adds so much stress.
00:30:32I'm in a really good place now.
00:30:34I've been doing this new therapy.
00:30:36Yeah, but I mean, you're rushing into a relationship
00:30:39with this guy that is gonna be the father of your child,
00:30:42and I haven't even met him.
00:30:43Zoe...
00:30:46He loves me.
00:30:48He loves me.
00:30:51He loves me.
00:30:53I know he does.
00:30:57He loves me.
00:30:58I know he does.
00:31:02You'd be crazy not to.
00:31:16Audrey?
00:31:21Audrey?
00:31:23No, Audrey, please!
00:31:26Zoe, are you okay?
00:31:28Zoe.
00:31:30You're screaming.
00:31:32I am.
00:31:34I am.
00:31:35I'm fine.
00:31:36I'm fine.
00:31:43I'm fine.
00:31:45Are you sure?
00:31:51I had a sister.
00:31:55Our parents died when we were young,
00:31:57so, you know,
00:32:00growing up in orphanages and foster homes,
00:32:04you never really feel like anything belongs to you.
00:32:08Snacks and toys, you share everything.
00:32:12And my sister, she, um...
00:32:15she developed this habit
00:32:17that any time she felt like something was, like, hers,
00:32:21truly hers, she would, um, write her initials on it.
00:32:30She was all I had.
00:32:34And now that she's gone, it's like I don't have anything.
00:32:38I totally understand.
00:32:48My dad was the only person alive who understood me.
00:32:52And after he died,
00:32:55I haven't had a real connection with anyone since.
00:32:59Anything remotely real,
00:33:01Xander would sabotage out of jealousy.
00:33:07Wait here.
00:33:17Okay.
00:33:28Now you can have something that's actually yours again.
00:33:47It's consuming you.
00:33:49If you're not asking, I'm not answering.
00:33:51You know this is the only way.
00:33:53It should be me and you know it.
00:33:56And he had the nerve to offer me an advisor position
00:33:59to the company you took away from me.
00:34:01You think I want to hand the company over to him?
00:34:10You're right, Xander. It should be you.
00:34:14We have the board and the shareholders to convince,
00:34:16and they're blind.
00:34:18All they see is you in a wheelchair.
00:34:20Fuck the board! Fuck the shareholders!
00:34:22This is what I mean!
00:34:24The rage!
00:34:26You were once committed to getting better.
00:34:30We can get over what happened.
00:34:33But you have to want it.
00:34:36He doesn't deserve everything.
00:34:38Your father would have wanted you both to be happy.
00:34:42And that's all I want for you.
00:34:58Are you sure you're not coming?
00:35:00Do I want to go to a charity gala
00:35:02that zombie-rich people hold just to feel better
00:35:04about buying $3 million mansions and not paying taxes?
00:35:09I'm good. Thank you, though.
00:35:12Hey, you better watch it.
00:35:14You're married to one of those rich, snobby people now.
00:35:17Come on, Zoe.
00:35:19We'll find some way to have fun.
00:35:27Go.
00:35:29You'll be late.
00:35:31Fine. I'll have a car to pick you up if you change your mind.
00:35:38Okay.
00:35:50Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:35:53Audrey.
00:36:03Can you get the car ready, please?
00:36:05I am going to the gala.
00:36:07And, um...
00:36:09I'm sorry.
00:36:11I'm sorry.
00:36:13I'm sorry.
00:36:15I'm sorry.
00:36:17I'm sorry.
00:36:19I'm sorry.
00:36:21And, um...
00:36:23Don't let Mr. Cross know I'm coming.
00:36:26I want it to be a surprise.
00:36:34Care to grab your brother a drink?
00:36:39Whatever.
00:36:46So, how's the married life?
00:36:48How's my sister-in-law?
00:36:50She's good.
00:36:52You know, this isn't really her thing.
00:36:54That's good.
00:36:56You know, I was worried about her.
00:36:58People are going to say what they're going to say,
00:37:00but she shouldn't let those rumors bother her.
00:37:02Rumors?
00:37:04What are you talking about? I took care of everything.
00:37:07This came out 30 minutes ago.
00:37:11An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement
00:37:14between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell,
00:37:17showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:37:20The news confirms suspicions
00:37:22that Zoe is a ploy for Ashton
00:37:24to finally seize the throne of Cross Enterprise.
00:37:30I'm just glad Zoe's not here to take the blowout.
00:37:37Zoe?
00:37:40You told me you barely knew her.
00:37:42What are you talking about?
00:37:44I'm talking about this book.
00:37:46That's Zander's book.
00:37:48Zoe, we've got something bigger going on right now.
00:37:50What do you mean it's Zander's book?
00:37:52How could he...
00:37:54Yeah, I can tell you're upset, but...
00:37:56look at this.
00:37:58An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement
00:38:01between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell,
00:38:04showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:38:07I know that this is a sham marriage.
00:38:10But I'm falling for you.
00:38:12And I want to protect us.
00:38:14Protect you.
00:38:16I don't know why, but I believe you.
00:38:19I don't know if you're a psychopath
00:38:22or if everything I thought I knew was wrong.
00:38:25I don't know what's going on with you.
00:38:28I am falling for you,
00:38:30but these people, they're going to eat you alive.
00:38:33Well, I like you.
00:38:35Well, I like to think I act fast under pressure.
00:38:41Zoe, wait!
00:38:48Zoe, what are you doing?
00:38:50Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:38:52Um, I'm Zoe Cross.
00:38:54I'm sure you all know my husband, Ashton Cross.
00:38:58Now, I'm aware that many are questioning
00:39:01the authenticity of our marriage
00:39:04and I'm here to confirm that it's true.
00:39:10Our marriage was a sham.
00:39:14I signed a prenup agreeing to marry Ashton
00:39:17because I thought that it would bring me wealth and fame,
00:39:21but I was wrong.
00:39:23It turned out to be so much more than that.
00:39:28He isn't just this spoiled rich kid,
00:39:31playboy, heartbreaker.
00:39:34Everything people say is just to sell stories.
00:39:40He's actually kinder
00:39:44and stronger and better
00:39:48and I want him to know that
00:39:51I'm falling for him, too.
00:40:33Okay.
00:41:04I can feel you staring at me.
00:41:08I haven't felt like this in a while.
00:41:12I feel like myself.
00:41:16Sometimes, when I look in the mirror,
00:41:19I don't recognize myself.
00:41:22When I see you, I see you.
00:41:29You promise?
00:41:34Cross my heart.
00:41:52Can we chat?
00:41:54Of course.
00:41:57What can I do for you?
00:42:00I know that you were the anonymous source
00:42:04and that you sent the press our marriage contract.
00:42:07I don't want to make a deal.
00:42:09Why would I do something like that?
00:42:12It doesn't matter, and I don't care,
00:42:14but for whatever reason you're doing it,
00:42:16you're coming between Ashton and I.
00:42:19Do you mean your scam of a marriage?
00:42:21It was, but it's real now.
00:42:24I just want you and Ashton to repair this relationship
00:42:28so that we can all be happy.
00:42:30What's your angle here?
00:42:32There's no angle. I just...
00:42:34I'm going through my own trauma,
00:42:36and there are a lot of things that I wish I could go back
00:42:39and say differently to my...
00:42:46I know you have a history,
00:42:49and I know that it's difficult,
00:42:51but it's worth making amends.
00:42:54Does he know I leaked this story to the press?
00:42:57No. He's been through enough already.
00:43:10Whatever hurt that you've caused each other
00:43:14can be forgiven.
00:43:16What if the things you've done aren't forgivable?
00:43:21The past doesn't matter.
00:43:23Just what you do now matters.
00:43:26You fell for him.
00:43:28I got to know him.
00:43:31Maybe you should, too.
00:43:36Maybe.
00:43:39I really hope that you and your brother can work things out.
00:43:47I'd like nothing more than to get closer to you, Zoey.
00:43:55I'm sorry.
00:43:57I'm sorry.
00:43:59I'm sorry.
00:44:01I'm sorry.
00:44:03I'm sorry.
00:44:05I'm sorry.
00:44:16This isn't possible.
00:44:26This is important, Henry.
00:44:28I need to know I can trust you on this.
00:44:30Of course you can, Xander, but why are you...
00:44:33Henry, I need answers.
00:44:36Don't worry. I'll have the test results in 24 hours.
00:44:39Good. Call me when you have it.
00:44:42And remember, I was never here.
00:45:04I know that you were the anonymous source.
00:45:14Hey, I have the test results.
00:45:16It's a perfect match.
00:45:18So they're related.
00:45:20It's more than that, Xander. I said, perfect match.
00:45:23The two DNA samples are identical.
00:45:27I feel like I know you.
00:45:31I feel like I know you from somewhere.
00:45:33Maybe another life.
00:45:39They're twins.
00:46:01Good morning, Mrs. Cross. Is it about time?
00:46:04For cleaning?
00:46:06Yes, Mrs. Cross. I come every Monday.
00:46:09I can always come back.
00:46:11No, come in. I'll just go get a coffee.
00:46:17It won't take long, Mrs. Cross.
00:46:31I'm in.
00:46:37This takes time, Xander.
00:46:39I'm a private detective, not a sniffer dog.
00:47:01Checkmate.
00:47:11If you're thinking of having one of those, I won't object.
00:47:14I'm not a sniffer dog.
00:47:16I'm a private detective.
00:47:18I'm not a sniffer dog.
00:47:20I'm not a sniffer dog.
00:47:22I'm not a sniffer dog.
00:47:24I'm not a sniffer dog.
00:47:26I'm not a sniffer dog.
00:47:28If you're thinking of having one of those, I won't object.
00:47:34You handled the crisis well.
00:47:37I was sure you'd run away with your tail between your legs.
00:47:41But you stayed.
00:47:44But what for?
00:47:48Now, I know no one gets close to my sons without wanting something.
00:47:53The question is, what do you want?
00:47:59What do you want?
00:48:04You're right, Lauren. I think I did want something from Ashton, but...
00:48:09I don't know that I want it now.
00:48:14I recognize that look on your face.
00:48:17I know.
00:48:19I know.
00:48:21I know.
00:48:23I know.
00:48:26I recognize that look on your face.
00:48:31It happened to me with Robert, Sander and Ashton's father.
00:48:36I fell in love with a man I hated.
00:48:41It was an arranged marriage, and I didn't want to be in it.
00:48:45I got to truly know him.
00:48:48And it changed me.
00:48:52Don't stare at me like that, Zoe.
00:48:56You might think I'm a witch whose heart is made of stone,
00:48:59but I still know what love is.
00:49:08You wanted to see me?
00:49:10Take a seat.
00:49:16What's up?
00:49:18I found something, and I think you should see this.
00:49:25She's Audrey's sister?
00:49:27She changed her identity, her face, just to get close to you.
00:49:31Why?
00:49:32Think about it, Ashton. She came into your life out of nowhere three months after Audrey's death.
00:49:37She lied to you, married you, manipulated you, shared a bed with you.
00:49:42There's only one thing that drives people this far.
00:49:46It's revenge.
00:49:49I'm sorry, little brother.
00:49:51Looks like it's time to wake up from this dream.
00:49:59You're just saying that because you want me to help run your precious company.
00:50:03Yes, I was Robert's wife, and his company is very important to me.
00:50:09But I'm also a mother.
00:50:12I can see Ashton cares about you more than the others.
00:50:19He has calmed his playboy antics.
00:50:23I can see he's a better person with you.
00:50:26There was one woman before, but she disappeared.
00:50:29Who knows why? She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being a cross.
00:50:37There was one woman before, but she disappeared.
00:50:40Who knows why? She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being a cross.
00:50:45Love isn't logical, Zoe.
00:50:47And loving Ashton is probably the most illogical thing you could do.
00:50:51But that doesn't make it wrong.
00:50:56Wait.
00:50:59There was another woman? A serious relationship? What happened to her?
00:51:03Who knows, Zoe?
00:51:05You probably got sick of her like all the other girls.
00:51:09You're here now. She's gone forever.
00:51:12And for some reason, he likes keeping you around.
00:51:16So you're my only hope.
00:51:18Your only hope for what?
00:51:21A family legacy, Zoe.
00:51:24Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:51:28Ashton is the future of this company and this family.
00:51:32Xander's reign ended in that car accident.
00:51:35Everything is working according to plan. At least for Ashton.
00:51:52Ashton?
00:51:54You actually believe it?
00:51:57That I killed Audrey?
00:51:59I don't want to.
00:52:01But I see it now.
00:52:05The AC tattoo.
00:52:07The high-profile lover.
00:52:10The pregnancy.
00:52:12It has to be you. There's no other explanation.
00:52:20Wait.
00:52:22Audrey was pregnant?
00:52:24You didn't know, did you?
00:52:26When you pushed her off the balcony?
00:52:28I never slept with Audrey.
00:52:31She was with someone else.
00:52:33Stop lying to me.
00:52:35You've been lying to me!
00:52:37I wanted to tell you.
00:52:39But how do you tell someone?
00:52:41That you completely changed what you looked like to avenge your sister's death?
00:52:45You made me fall in love with you.
00:52:47You made me fall in love with you.
00:52:49You made me fall in love with you.
00:52:51You made me fall in love with you.
00:52:53You made me fall in love with you.
00:52:57And I fell in love with the man who murdered my Audrey.
00:53:01I didn't kill her, Zoe.
00:53:04I swear.
00:53:07Cross my heart.
00:53:23I really wish that it wasn't you.
00:53:31Would you believe me if I said I really did love you?
00:53:42Neither would I.
00:53:52I love you.
00:54:23I do.
00:54:47Paternity test results.
00:54:52Xander.
00:55:12Xander.
00:55:14Now's not a good time.
00:55:15Now is the perfect time.
00:55:17I know where Zoe is.
00:55:19I'll send you the address, but...
00:55:20You better hurry if you want to say goodbye.
00:55:24What are you talking about?
00:55:26Everyone has their tipping point, Ashton.
00:55:29All I need to do is give her one tiny push.
00:55:35Xander, if you hurt her, I'll kill you.
00:55:40You've already done that, Ashton.
00:55:42Two years ago.
00:55:45Xander.
00:55:47Xander.
00:55:50Xander.
00:55:56Paternity test results.
00:56:03A family legacy, Zoe.
00:56:06AC.
00:56:07Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:56:11Xander Cross.
00:56:14Alexander Cross.
00:56:20Xander Cross.
00:56:37He can't really dance.
00:56:39What do you mean he can't dance?
00:56:40He loved dancing.
00:56:41He just doesn't, okay?
00:56:47Audrey betrayed me.
00:56:49What are you doing here?
00:56:50And so did Ashton.
00:56:53I guess some curses do run in the family.
00:56:57Get inside.
00:57:16Happy birthday.
00:57:19Oh, Xander.
00:57:21Wow, this is an amazing gift.
00:57:25But I was hoping that maybe I could ask for something else.
00:57:31Anything.
00:57:32Well, I was thinking that maybe it was time that we take our relationship public.
00:57:38So that we don't have to keep this a secret.
00:57:44Great.
00:57:47You're pregnant.
00:57:49We're gonna have the baby.
00:57:53I never thought it'd come to this.
00:57:56But you're happy, right?
00:57:58Of course.
00:58:01So happy.
00:58:04I love you, Xander.
00:58:05I love you, Audrey.
00:58:08You're mine.
00:58:10Now and forever.
00:58:12Come on, help me up.
00:58:13Let me put this necklace on my future wife.
00:58:19Turn around.
00:58:34Xander, what are you doing?
00:58:35I never told you.
00:58:37Because I was ashamed.
00:58:39I can't have kids.
00:58:40You want to fool me into being your crippled rich husband?
00:58:43Xander, please.
00:58:45I have proof.
00:58:47It's your baby.
00:58:49Our baby.
00:58:59Get inside.
00:59:10It was you.
00:59:12You killed Audrey.
00:59:15And you're the one who sent my DNA and my passport to Ashton.
00:59:18All of it was you.
00:59:20How did you know who I was?
00:59:22The day you came and visited me in my office.
00:59:25You hugged me the exact same way she did.
00:59:29The exact same way she did.
00:59:34Sentiments can really fuck things up, huh?
00:59:37So you're going to kill me now, too?
00:59:39No.
00:59:41I have a better plan for you.
00:59:43Zoe!
00:59:44No, no, Ashton, no!
00:59:45You can't kill me.
00:59:46Please.
00:59:47Zoe, thank God.
00:59:49Xander!
00:59:50Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.
00:59:53I don't know about you, but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
01:00:04Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.
01:00:08I don't know about you, but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
01:00:12One more step and she's dead.
01:00:14It's not her fault what happened.
01:00:15It's mine.
01:00:16Don't worry about it.
01:00:18You're going to get yours.
01:00:19I'm going to have my payback.
01:00:21I'm going to take back everything you took from me.
01:00:23My job, my title, my reputation.
01:00:27But in order to do that, I got to make sure you never get in my way again.
01:00:34You see two sisters dying in the same apartment?
01:00:38That's going to lead to suspicion.
01:00:40But if I can connect...
01:00:41Have you lost your mind?
01:00:42Let me fucking finish.
01:00:46If I can connect them to the same men...
01:00:52You killed Audrey?
01:00:57You killed Audrey?
01:00:59You did.
01:01:01Soon the B.C.U.O. turns out to be a maniac.
01:01:05Brutally killing his mistress and his wife.
01:01:08After he kills her, he turns himself in.
01:01:13Or puts the gun to his own head, I don't care.
01:01:16You choose, little brother.
01:01:18You can't get away with it.
01:01:19Of course I will.
01:01:22All I got to do is convince the shareholders.
01:01:24You'd be surprised how quickly a bunch of lies can turn into the truth.
01:01:29But enough of that, we don't have all night.
01:01:31Ladies first.
01:01:39Xander, you don't have to do this.
01:01:40Shut the fuck up.
01:01:42Just shut the fuck up.
01:01:44Please.
01:01:45You're too late, little brother.
01:01:47Two years too late.
01:01:49You chose this.
01:01:51You could have lived your life with someone who truly loved you, but instead you murdered her.
01:01:55She never loved me.
01:01:56She had an A.C. tattoo.
01:01:57She loved you so much that she marked herself as yours.
01:02:00She betrayed me with another man.
01:02:03Did you not see the paternity test?
01:02:08It's all right here.
01:02:12If you kill me now, the police will come and they'll find me.
01:02:16And they'll link me to Audrey.
01:02:18And they'll know that you murdered her while she was pregnant with your baby.
01:02:22You're fucking lying.
01:02:23You should have trusted Audrey.
01:02:26But you were so blinded by your jealousy and your anger that you killed someone who truly loved you.
01:02:42Ashton!
01:02:51You're a liar, Zoe Campbell.
01:02:54And you're dead.
01:02:58Audrey Hale.
01:03:00Mother.
01:03:0299.9% match with...
01:03:08Alexander Gross.
01:03:10Father.
01:03:12Oh, Jesus.
01:03:14What have I done?
01:03:17What have I done?
01:03:20I'm so sorry, Audrey.
01:03:21So that we don't have to keep this a secret.
01:03:28You're pregnant.
01:03:30We're gonna have the baby.
01:03:34I'm so sorry.
01:03:37No, no, no!
01:03:51I'm so sorry.
01:04:05Wait.
01:04:07Ready?
01:04:09Ready as I'll ever be.
01:04:11Okay.
01:04:14Gosh.
01:04:16Okay, okay, okay.
01:04:17One.
01:04:18Two.
01:04:19Three.
01:04:22We're having a girl.
01:04:23It's our girl.
01:04:25We're having a baby girl.
01:04:29I know the perfect name.
01:04:32Audrey.
01:04:36I know the perfect name.
01:04:39Audrey.
01:04:42That's perfect.
01:04:45You wanna swing?
01:04:46You wanna swing?
01:04:49Don't let me fall.
01:04:50Okay.
01:04:51Cross my heart.
01:04:53You ready?
01:04:55Okay.
01:05:01How does it feel?
01:05:03Like I'm flying.
01:05:16Like I'm flying.
01:05:41Stewie, are you okay?
01:05:43Stewie.
01:05:45You're screaming.
01:05:46I am.
01:05:49I am.
01:05:50I'm fine.
01:05:51I'm fine.
01:05:58I'm fine.
01:05:59Are you sure?
01:06:06I had a sister.
01:06:10Our parents died when we were young.
01:06:12So, you know, growing up in orphanages and foster homes, you never really feel like anything belongs to you.
01:06:23Snacks and toys.
01:06:25You share everything.
01:06:27And my sister, she developed this habit that any time she felt like something was hers, truly hers, she would write her initials on it.
01:06:40She was all I had.
01:06:45And now that she's gone, it's just like I don't have anything.
01:06:49I totally understand.
01:07:02My dad was the only person alive who understood me.
01:07:06My dad was the only person alive who understood me.
01:07:10And after he died, I haven't had a real connection with anyone since.
01:07:17Anything remotely real, Xander would sabotage out of jealousy.
01:07:25Wait here.
01:07:35Okay.
01:07:43Now you can have something that's actually yours again.
