Transcript
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. 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.
00:01:02You 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 grown-up.
00:01:45I never wanted to be CEO.
00:01:46You know very well why you 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, and 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.
00:03:06Go back to work.
00:03:07Go 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.
00:03:38You'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.
00:03:54I never said I was selling.
00:03:56Xander, wouldn't it make more sense if you didn't live in a penthouse?
00:04:01You'd also be closer to your PT, which Mother says is progressing.
00:04:07I wouldn't call taking five steps with a walker progressing.
00:04:11I should probably leave.
00:04:13Stay.
00:04:14I 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.
00:04:28I 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.
00:04:38What the press forgot to mention.
00:04:40You were there in the accident.
00:04:44Can we discuss the apartment?
00:04:46This meeting has 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, he'll break you another.
00:05:09Really, Xander?
00:05:10Thank 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.
00:05:21Interesting.
00:05:22Xander, please.
00:05:23I'm only trying to help you.
00:05:29I don't know about you, but I could use a drink.
00:05:33Okay.
00:05:40I guess you could say that my relationship with my brother is 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 were 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.
00:05:58We're business.
00:06:00What should we talk about?
00:06:02You tricked my mother.
00:06:04And stood your own against Xander on the same day.
00:06:07That makes me a little curious.
00:06:11You know, they say curiosity is a dangerous thing.
00:06:15I'm not just another assistant you're going to go home with.
00:06:19I've had a lovely evening, though.
00:06:22And I'll see you tomorrow.
00:06:26Bye.
00:06:27I've had a lovely evening, though.
00:06:29And I'll see you tomorrow.
00:06:57Curiosity isn't enough.
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, you sleep with the right person, you get the right job.
00:07:41Oh my god, you spilled coffee everywhere.
00:07:45That was so embarrassing.
00:07:47Excuse me, ladies.
00:07:49I'm afraid I need to confiscate your key cards and escort you out.
00:07:53Wait, what? Why?
00:07:55It was a direct order from Mr. Cross.
00:07:57He fired us?
00:07:59I mean, he can't do that.
00:08:01I believe he can.
00:08:03Now, are you packing your cell phones?
00:08:06Yes, sir.
00:08:12Now, are you packing yourself or do you need a hand?
00:08:23You messed with the wrong person, you lose your job.
00:08:40Zoe, get in. Come in 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.
00:08:52Zoe, you're my assistant now.
00:08:54You'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, 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?
00:09:16Can I at least ask where we're going?
00:09:19On a date.
00:09:21What?
00:09:23Mr. Cross, I can't do this.
00:09:26Black Zoe, this isn't for you. This is for me and a friend.
00:09:31You brought me on a date with another woman?
00:09:34Technically, three other women.
00:09:37Why would you do that?
00:09:39I trust your judgment. Tell me which one of these girls I should marry.
00:09:42I just love yachts. You know, you sail out from L.A. and the entire Atlantic Ocean is yours.
00:09:50The 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. She's all the maintenance.
00:10:08Okay.
00:10:10Babies, I mean, they're just so small.
00:10:13They're scrungy and they look old, like old people.
00:10:16But they're little and they're babies and they don't know how to talk to you.
00:10:19And so they start screaming and they start crying and then they poop and it goes everywhere and they throw up.
00:10:25Honestly, it's the grossest thing I've ever experienced in my entire life.
00:10:29And not even that I experience babies because I've never been around babies.
00:10:32Other than the fact that I used to be a baby, I just, I do not.
00:10:35Babies, like, at all.
00:10:37I think children are one of the most amazing gifts of life.
00:10:40And you are so funny, Ashton.
00:10:43I mean, the reality is just that babies would also get in the way of my social life.
00:10:48And I have very high standards for, like, living.
00:10:53And so...
00:10:55Don't you think that's kind of selfish?
00:10:58I'm being a realist.
00:11:00And you're joking, right?
00:11:01A man with your Playboy reputation?
00:11:04You're honestly telling me that you want to settle down and have children?
00:11:11You are so funny.
00:11:14You are so funny.
00:11:17My mother said that you study literature.
00:11:20Are you, uh, Red Fitzgerald?
00:11:22Who?
00:11:24Oh, no, I didn't go to school.
00:11:26Did I go to school with him?
00:11:28I don't think I went to school with him.
00:11:29No, no, no.
00:11:31Uh, Fitzgerald.
00:11:33The great Gatsby.
00:11:35I love Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:11:37I love him.
00:11:39I was at a party and he was, like, so hitting on me.
00:11:41It was so crazy.
00:11:43He was so short.
00:11:45It was so weird.
00:11:47Everything's been taken care of.
00:11:49Have a great night, alright?
00:11:51Oh, you paid for it?
00:11:52Yeah.
00:11:53Oh, really?
00:11:54Oh, thank you.
00:11:55Enjoy, let's go.
00:11:56Yeah.
00:11:57Where are we going?
00:11:58Okay.
00:12:00Tell your mom I said hi.
00:12:01I miss her.
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,
00:12:26just like everybody else.
00:12:28Truth is, when people misunderstand you,
00:12:33and enough misunderstand you,
00:12:35you slowly forget who you are, too.
00:12:40This place is amazing.
00:12:45Xander and I designed this place.
00:12:47Wow.
00:12:49You were close.
00:12:51Yeah.
00:12:53Until we weren't.
00:12:56Do you have any siblings?
00:12:58No.
00:13:01It's just me.
00:13:03You know,
00:13:05two years ago it was actually me
00:13:07who was supposed to be on that flight to Zurich with my father,
00:13:10not Xander.
00:13:13Sometimes I wish it was me.
00:13:18It was late at night.
00:13:22The car was headed to the airport.
00:13:25But I didn't show up.
00:13:29Xander was the heir.
00:13:33He was raised to take over the company.
00:13:38But I ruined him.
00:13:40You didn't ruin him.
00:13:42No one's meant to be one thing.
00:13:44I mean, we all have a choice.
00:13:48Not in my world, Zoe.
00:13:50You saw for yourself.
00:13:52You saw for yourself.
00:13:54I can't even get married when I'd like.
00:13:57Well, 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,
00:14:34will you marry me?
00:14:37This is a joke.
00:14:39You're joking.
00:14:41I've
00:14:43never been more serious.
00:14:45Listen, Eshen, you may be used to getting whatever you want whenever you want it.
00:14:48I don't want to marry you out of convenience.
00:14:51Zoe,
00:14:54women see me as a golden ticket to money and fame.
00:14:57My father's passed away.
00:14:59Xander sees me as competition and my mother sees me as a pawn to save the family business.
00:15:04But you, Zoe, you actually see me for who I really am.
00:15:10That's good.
00:15:12You 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.
00:15:29And 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.
00:17:09And 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.
00:17:23My husband built this empire,
00:17:25but he wouldn't have been able to rule it without me.
00:17:29And now it's your turn
00:17:31to stand next to Ashton on the throne.
00:17:34Support him.
00:17:36Help 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,
00:18:06whatever his company's name,
00:18:08in any way.
00:18:10And not only won't you see a single penny,
00:18:13but I
00:18:15will personally destroy you.
00:18:19Well, that's where you're wrong, Mrs. Cross.
00:18:22I don't want anything from him.
00:18:26I 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,
00:18:51trust, and honesty.
00:18:53The virtues 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, for worse,
00:19:13for richer, for poorer,
00:19:15until death do you part?
00:19:37Yes,
00:19:39I do.
00:19:42As a token of your vows,
00:19:45you may exchange your symbol of love.
00:19:57By the power vested in me,
00:19:59by God,
00:20:01I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:20:04You may kiss the bride.
00:20:35Uh oh,
00:20:36what's that look?
00:20:38There seems to be a competition going on called
00:20:40who can come up with the most humiliating article
00:20:42about Zoe Campbell.
00:20:44Zoe Campbell puts a ring on Ashton Cross
00:20:46a week after becoming his assistant.
00:20:48One can only imagine how good Mrs. Campbell
00:20:50is at impressing her boss.
00:20:55Why are
00:20:57you even reading that garbage?
00:20:59I'm just not used to seeing my name trending.
00:21:06See something you like?
00:21:08Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:21:10Fine, I'll make you a dress for dinner.
00:21:12Uh, I think you're fine.
00:21:15Right where you are.
00:21:37Sorry.
00:21:40I've never felt like this
00:21:42before Zoe.
00:21:44Look me in my eyes.
00:21:47Tell me you feel the same way.
00:21:51I'm sorry.
00:21:53I'm sorry.
00:21:55I'm sorry.
00:21:57I'm sorry.
00:21:59I'm sorry.
00:22:01I'm sorry.
00:22:03I'm sorry.
00:22:04I'm sorry.
00:22:07This marriage is
00:22:09just a piece of paper.
00:22:12It's a contract.
00:22:14Nothing more.
00:22:18Okay.
00:22:22Ashton.
00:22:25What happened to the woman
00:22:27at your work who killed herself?
00:22:29Did you know her?
00:22:31Um,
00:22:32no, not really.
00:22:34I know that she was nice.
00:22:36I saw her in the office a few times,
00:22:38but that was it.
00:22:39Why are you asking?
00:22:41Nothing, I um,
00:22:43saw it on the news.
00:22:45Thought it was sad.
00:22:47Just 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.
00:22:59Yeah.
00:23:00Don't mention it.
00:23:02Good night.
00:23:31Receiving more information
00:23:33about the deadly shooting that took place
00:23:35involving two rival families
00:23:37heavily involved in the bomb.
00:23:39No names have been released yet,
00:23:41but we do know that the police
00:23:43are actively searching for suspects at large,
00:23:45including certain members of the well-known
00:23:47Saviano and Mancini families.
00:23:49We'll be sure to update everyone on that story
00:23:51as soon as we can.
00:23:53Back to you, Tom.
00:23:54Back to you, Tom.
00:23:56Back to you, Tom.
00:23:58Back to you, Tom.
00:24:00Back to you, Tom.
00:24:02Back to you, Tom.
00:24:16I really hope it wasn't you.
00:24:24I need to get rid of it all.
00:24:32Alright, well, if I can't meet the guy,
00:24:34you at least have to tell me something about him.
00:24:36What do you guys do?
00:24:38Do you go dancing?
00:24:40He can't really dance.
00:24:42What do you mean he can't dance?
00:24:44He loved dancing.
00:24:46He just doesn't, okay?
00:24:48Zoe!
00:24:50I'm blocking the meeting,
00:24:52and I'm taking you to lunch.
00:24:54I wasn't expecting you on so soon.
00:24:56Oh, can a guy take his girl out on a date?
00:25:00Yeah.
00:25:02But,
00:25:04I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:25:12I 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?
00:25:24I'm taking you to lunch,
00:25:26and I never really asked.
00:25:28Do you like cheeseburgers, or do you like lobster?
00:25:33Oh, sounds like we need to get some food in you pretty quick.
00:25:36Don't worry.
00:25:38I already made reservations at Il Flore.
00:25:40They have cheeseburgers and lobster.
00:25:43Look, Ashton,
00:25:45there's something I have to tell you.
00:25:47Wait.
00:25:49How can I be so stupid?
00:25:50I made these reservations,
00:25:52and I never even asked about your feelings.
00:25:54I keep showing you my world,
00:25:56but 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,
00:26:04okay.
00:26:06Mmm.
00:26:08Now this is food.
00:26:16Is everything okay?
00:26:18Yeah.
00:26:20It's just...
00:26:23I don't do stuff like this.
00:26:25What?
00:26:27I don't do stuff like this.
00:26:29I don't do stuff like this.
00:26:31I don't do stuff like this.
00:26:33I don't do stuff like this.
00:26:35I don't do stuff like this often.
00:26:37You wouldn't believe it,
00:26:39but this is my first ever picnic.
00:26:41What? Like, not even as a kid?
00:26:43Between Latin, math, leadership class,
00:26:46we 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.
00:27:00You want me to do this?
00:27:02Uh-huh.
00:27:04Zoe,
00:27:06I'm a 28-year-old man
00:27:08in an $8,500 suit.
00:27:10I'm not kidding on that.
00:27:12That's crazy.
00:27:14I married someone I knew less than 30 hours.
00:27:16I think I get to decide what's crazy or not.
00:27:19This?
00:27:21Yeah, sit down.
00:27:24Is this your first time on a swing?
00:27:26No.
00:27:27No?
00:27:29Why would you think that?
00:27:31Oh, my God, it is.
00:27:33Okay, look, you're just going to have to trust me, okay?
00:27:35I'm not going to let you fall.
00:27:37Okay, don't forget it.
00:27:39When I was little,
00:27:41my sister used to push me so high
00:27:43and I would just focus on the sky.
00:27:45It felt like I was flying.
00:27:47Wow.
00:27:52So,
00:27:54as she crossed,
00:27:56what do you think about my world?
00:27:59It's chaotic,
00:28:01but wonderful.
00:28:09Hey, you two!
00:28:11This is clearly not the time or place.
00:28:13Children,
00:28:15God, get a room!
00:28:26You see anything you like?
00:28:29Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:28:34Now that I haven't seen before.
00:28:56I love what you've done with the place.
00:28:59None for me.
00:29:01Since when?
00:29:03Since...
00:29:06Holy shit, you're pregnant?
00:29:08Am I going to get to meet the guy
00:29:10before I leave town?
00:29:12It's complicated.
00:29:14He's complicated
00:29:16and everything's happening so fast
00:29:18and I don't know what to do.
00:29:20I don't know what to do.
00:29:22I don't know what to do.
00:29:23Everything's happening so fast
00:29:25and I'm scared that something might go 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.
00:29:34I mean, I don't know,
00:29:36you're just rushing into this relationship
00:29:38and now motherhood adds so much stress.
00:29:40I'm in a really good place now.
00:29:42I've been doing this new therapy.
00:29:44Yeah, but I mean,
00:29:46you're rushing into a relationship with this guy
00:29:48that is going to be the father of your child
00:29:50and I haven't even met him.
00:29:51Zoe,
00:29:54he loves me.
00:29:56I know he does.
00:29:59He loves me.
00:30:01I know he does.
00:30:04You'd be crazy not to.
00:30:19Audrey?
00:30:21Audrey?
00:30:26No, Audrey, please!
00:30:29Zoe, are you okay?
00:30:31Zoe?
00:30:33You're screaming.
00:30:35I am.
00:30:37I am.
00:30:39I'm fine.
00:30:46I'm fine.
00:30:48Are you sure?
00:30:52I had a sister.
00:30:56Our parents died when we were young,
00:30:59so, you know,
00:31:01growing up in orphanages and foster homes,
00:31:05you never really feel like anything belongs to you.
00:31:09Snacks and toys,
00:31:11you share everything.
00:31:13And my sister, she, um,
00:31:16she developed this habit
00:31:18that any time she felt lonely,
00:31:19that any time she felt like something was,
00:31:22like, hers, truly hers,
00:31:24she would, um,
00:31:26write her initials on it.
00:31:32She was all I had.
00:31:37And now that she's gone,
00:31:39it's like I don't have anything.
00:31:41I totally understand.
00:31:50My dad was the only person alive who understood me.
00:31:54And after he died,
00:31:57I haven't had a real connection with anyone since.
00:32:01Anything remotely real,
00:32:03Xander would sabotage out of jealousy.
00:32:09Wait here.
00:32:19Mom.
00:32:29Now you can have something that's actually yours again.
00:32:43You can't blame this all on your brother.
00:32:46You need to learn to control your anger.
00:32:49It's consuming you.
00:32:51If you're not asking, I'm not answering.
00:32:53You know this is the only way.
00:32:55It should be me and you know it.
00:32:57And he had the nerve to offer me an advisor position
00:33:01to the company you took away from me.
00:33:03You think I want to hand the company over to him?
00:33:12You're right, Xander.
00:33:14It should be you.
00:33:16We have the board and the shareholders to convince.
00:33:19Never mind.
00:33:21All they see is you in a wheelchair.
00:33:23Fuck the board, fuck the shareholders.
00:33:25This is what I mean.
00:33:27The rage.
00:33:29You were once committed to getting better.
00:33:33We can get over what happened.
00:33:36But you have to want it.
00:33:39He doesn't deserve everything.
00:33:41Your father would have wanted you both to be happy.
00:33:44And that's all I want for you.
00:33:50Are you sure you're not coming?
00:33:52Do I want to go to a charity gala
00:33:54that snobby rich people hold
00:33:56just to feel better about buying $3 million mansions
00:33:58and not paying taxes?
00:34:01I'm good.
00:34:03Thank you, though.
00:34:05Hey, you better watch it.
00:34:07You're married to one of those rich snobby people now.
00:34:09I'm not.
00:34:11I'm not.
00:34:13I'm not.
00:34:15I'm not.
00:34:17I'm not.
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.
00:34:50Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:35:06Audrey.
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.
00:35:30Care to grab your brother a drink?
00:35:44So, how's the married life?
00:35:46And how's my sister-in-law?
00:35:48She's good.
00:35:50You know, this isn't really her thing.
00:35:52That's good.
00:35:54You know, I was worried about her.
00:35:56I know.
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?
00:36:08I took care of everything.
00:36:10This came out 30 minutes ago.
00:36:13An anonymous source leaked the pronuncial agreement
00:36:16between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell,
00:36:19showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:36:22The news confirmed suspicions that Zoe is a ploy for Ashton
00:36:25to finally seize the throne of Cross Enterprise.
00:36:32I'm just glad Zoe's not here to take the blowout.
00:36:39Zoe?
00:36:47You told me you barely knew her.
00:36:49What are you talking about?
00:36:51I'm talking about this book.
00:36:53That's Xander's book.
00:36:55What do you mean it's Xander's book?
00:36:57How could he...
00:36:59Yeah, I can tell you're upset, but
00:37:01look at this.
00:37:03An anonymous source leaked the pronuncial agreement
00:37:06between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell,
00:37:09showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:37:12I know that this is a sham marriage,
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.
00:37:34I am falling for you, but these people,
00:37:36they're going to eat you alive.
00:37:38Well, 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
00:38:03the 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
00:38:18because I thought that it would bring me wealth and fame,
00:38:21but I was wrong.
00:38:24It turned out to be so much more than that.
00:38:28He isn't just this spoiled rich kid,
00:38:32playboy, heartbreaker.
00:38:34Everything people say is just to sell stories.
00:38:40He's actually kinder
00:38:44and stronger and better,
00:38:47and I want him to know that I'm falling for him, too.
00:39:17No, I'm not.
00:39:47I love you.
00:40:09I can feel you staring at me.
00:40:12I haven't felt like this in a while.
00:40:15I feel like myself.
00:40:19Sometimes, when I look in the mirror,
00:40:23I don't recognize myself.
00:40:25When I see you, I see you.
00:40:32You promise?
00:40:35Cross my heart.
00:40:44I love you.
00:40:53Hey, Chad.
00:40:55Of course.
00:40:58What can I do for you?
00:41:01I know that you were the anonymous source
00:41:05and that you sent the press our marriage contract.
00:41:08I don't want to make a deal.
00:41:10Why would I do something like that?
00:41:12It doesn't matter.
00:41:14I don't care, but
00:41:16for whatever reason you're doing it,
00:41:18you're coming between Ashton and I.
00:41:20Do you mean your scam of a marriage?
00:41:22It was, but it's real now.
00:41:25I just want you and Ashton to
00:41:28repair this relationship so that we can all be happy.
00:41:31What's your angle here?
00:41:33There's no angle.
00:41:35I'm going through my own trauma,
00:41:37and there are a lot of things that I wish I could go back
00:41:39and say differently to my...
00:41:46I know you have a history,
00:41:49and I know that it's difficult,
00:41:51but it's worth making amends.
00:41:54Does he know I leaked the story to the press?
00:41:57I don't know.
00:41:59He'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.
00:42:40Maybe.
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.
00:43:10This isn't possible.
00:43:19This is important, Henry.
00:43:21I need to know I can trust you on this.
00:43:24Of course you can, Xander, but why are you...
00:43:27I don't need questions, Henry. I need answers.
00:43:31Don't worry.
00:43:33I'll have the test results in 24 hours.
00:43:35I'll be right back.
00:43:3924 hours.
00:43:40Good.
00:43:41Call me when you have it.
00:43:43And remember,
00:43:44I was never here.
00:44:10I know
00:44:11that you were the anonymous source.
00:44:19Hey, I have the test results.
00:44:21It's a perfect match.
00:44:23So they're related.
00:44:25It's more than that, Xander.
00:44:26I said, perfect match.
00:44:28The two DNA samples are identical.
00:44:32I feel like I know you from somewhere.
00:44:34Maybe another life.
00:44:39They're twins.
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.
00:45:39I'm in.
00:45:44This takes time, Xander.
00:45:47I'm a private detective,
00:45:48not a sniffer dog.
00:46:09Jackpot.
00:46:23If you're thinking of having one of those,
00:46:25I won't object.
00:46:30You handle the crisis well.
00:46:33I was sure you'd run out of ideas.
00:46:35But you stayed.
00:46:38But what for?
00:46:41Now I know,
00:46:42no one gets close to my sons
00:46:44without wanting something.
00:46:46The question is,
00:46:48what do you want?
00:47:06Voila.
00:47:10What do you want?
00:47:15You're right, Lauren.
00:47:16I think I did want something from Ashton, but...
00:47:20I don't know that I want it now.
00:47:25I recognize that look on your face.
00:47:30It happened to me with Robert,
00:47:32Xander 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.
00:47:59But I still know what love is.
00:48:06You wanted to see me?
00:48:08Take a seat.
00:48:14What's up?
00:48:15I found something,
00:48:16and I think you should see this.
00:48:23She's Audrey's sister?
00:48:24She changed her identity, her face,
00:48:26just to get close to you.
00:48:28Why?
00:48:29Think about it, Ashton.
00:48:30She came into your life out of nowhere,
00:48:32three months after Audrey's death.
00:48:34She lied to you, married you,
00:48:36manipulated you,
00:48:37shared a bed with you.
00:48:39There's only one thing
00:48:40that drives people this far.
00:48:43Revenge.
00:48:45I'm sorry, little brother.
00:48:48Looks like it's time
00:48:49to wake up from this dream.
00:48:55You're just saying that
00:48:56because you want me to help
00:48:57run your precious company.
00:48:59Yes, I was Robert's wife,
00:49:01and his wife was Audrey.
00:49:03I was his wife,
00:49:04and his company is 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.
00:49:26There was one woman before,
00:49:27but she disappeared.
00:49:29Who knows why?
00:49:30She probably couldn't handle
00:49:31the pressure of being a cross.
00:49:36There was one woman before,
00:49:37but she disappeared.
00:49:39Who knows why?
00:49:40She probably couldn't handle
00:49:41the pressure of being a cross.
00:49:44Love isn't logical, Zoe.
00:49:46And loving Ashton is probably
00:49:47the most illogical thing you could do.
00:49:50But that doesn't make it wrong.
00:49:55Wait.
00:49:58There 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,
00:50:24but Ashton can.
00:50:26Ashton is the future of this company
00:50:28and this family.
00:50:30Xander's reign ended
00:50:31in that car accident.
00:50:34Everything is working
00:50:35according to plan.
00:50:37At least for Ashton.
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?
00:51:31When 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
00:51:56with the man who murdered my Audrey.
00:51:59I didn't kill her, Zoe.
00:52:02I swear.
00:52:05Cross my heart.
00:52:25I really
00:52:26wish that it wasn't you.
00:52:31Would you believe me
00:52:33if I said I really did love you?
00:52:42Neither would I.
00:52:56No.
00:53:27I'm sorry.
00:53:48Paternity test results.
00:53:57Zander.
00:53:59Now's not a good time.
00:54:00Now is the perfect time.
00:54:02I know where Zoe is.
00:54:04I'll send you the address, but
00:54:06you better hurry
00:54:08if you want to say goodbye.
00:54:10What are you talking about?
00:54:12Everyone has their tipping point,
00:54:14and I don't have mine.
00:54:16I don't have mine.
00:54:18I don't have mine.
00:54:20I don't have mine.
00:54:22I don't have mine.
00:54:24I don't have mine.
00:54:26Ash,
00:54:27all I need to do
00:54:29is give her one tiny
00:54:31push.
00:54:33Zander,
00:54:35if you hurt her,
00:54:37I'll kill you.
00:54:38You've already done that, Ash.
00:54:41Two years ago.
00:54:44Zander.
00:54:46Zander.
00:54:54Paternity test results.
00:54:56A family legacy, Zoe.
00:54:58I see.
00:55:00Zander can't give me a grandchild,
00:55:02but Ash can.
00:55:04Zander calls.
00:55:07Alexander calls.
00:55:27He can't really dance.
00:55:29What do you mean he can't dance?
00:55:31He loved dancing.
00:55:32He just doesn't, okay?
00:55:37Audrey betrayed me.
00:55:39What are you doing here?
00:55:41And so did Ashton.
00:55:44I guess some curses do run in the family.
00:55:48Get inside.
00:55:50I'll see you outside.
00:55:52Okay.
00:55:56Okay.
00:56:14Happy birthday.
00:56:16Oh,
00:56:17Zander.
00:56:19Wow.
00:56:20This is
00:56:21an amazing gift.
00:56:23But I was hoping
00:56:24that maybe
00:56:25I could ask
00:56:26for something else.
00:56:28Anything.
00:56:29Um, well,
00:56:30I was thinking that
00:56:31maybe it was time
00:56:33that we take our relationship
00:56:34public
00:56:36so that
00:56:37we don't have to keep
00:56:39this
00:56:41a secret.
00:56:44You're pregnant.
00:56:45Yeah.
00:56:47We're gonna have the baby.
00:56:50I 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, Zander.
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
00:57:10on my future wife.
00:57:15Turn around.
00:57:23Zander, what are you doing?
00:57:25I never told you
00:57:27because I was ashamed.
00:57:29I can't have kids.
00:57:32You want to fool me
00:57:33into being your crippled rich husband?
00:57:35Zander, please.
00:57:36I have proof.
00:57:38It's your baby.
00:57:40Our baby.
00:57:44Ah!
00:57:46Oh, God.
00:57:48Oh, God.
00:57:50Oh, God.
00:57:52Ah!
00:57:58Get inside.
00:58:07It was you.
00:58:09You killed Audrey.
00:58:12And you're the one
00:58:13who sent my DNA
00:58:14and my passport to Ashton.
00:58:15All of it was you.
00:58:18How did you know who I was?
00:58:19That day you came
00:58:20and visited me in my office.
00:58:22You hugged me
00:58:23the exact same way she did.
00:58:26The exact
00:58:28same way she did.
00:58:34Sentiments can really
00:58:35fuck things up, huh?
00:58:37So you're gonna kill me now, too?
00:58:40No.
00:58:42I have a better plan for you.
00:58:44Zoe!
00:58:45No, no, Ashton, no!
00:58:46You can't come in.
00:58:47Please.
00:58:48Zoe, thank God.
00:58:50Welcome to the grand finale,
00:58:51little brother.
00:58:53I don't know about you,
00:58:54but I'm dying to see
00:58:55how this all turns out.
00:59:00Welcome to the grand finale,
00:59:01little brother.
00:59:04I don't know about you,
00:59:05but I'm dying to see
00:59:06how this all turns out.
00:59:08One more step,
00:59:09and she's dead.
00:59:10It's not her fault
00:59:11what happened.
00:59:12It's mine.
00:59:13Don't worry about it.
00:59:14You're gonna get yours.
00:59:15I'm gonna have my payback.
00:59:17I'm gonna take back
00:59:18everything you took from me.
00:59:19My job, my title,
00:59:20my reputation.
00:59:23But in order to do that,
00:59:24I gotta make sure
00:59:25you never get in my way again.
00:59:30You see two sisters
00:59:31dying in the same apartment?
00:59:34That's gonna lead to suspicion.
00:59:36But if I can connect them...
00:59:37Have you lost your mind?
00:59:38Let me fucking finish.
00:59:42If I can connect them
00:59:43to the same men...
00:59:47You killed Ashton.
00:59:48You killed Audrey?
00:59:53You killed Audrey?
00:59:55You did.
00:59:57Soon the B-C-U-O
00:59:58turns out to be a maniac.
01:00:01Brutally killing
01:00:02his mistress and his wife.
01:00:04After he kills her,
01:00:05he turns himself in.
01:00:08Or puts the gun
01:00:09to his own head.
01:00:10I don't care.
01:00:12You choose, little brother.
01:00:14You can't get away with this.
01:00:15Of course I will.
01:00:18All I gotta do
01:00:19is convince the shareholders.
01:00:21You'd be surprised
01:00:22how quickly a bunch of lies
01:00:23can turn into the truth.
01:00:26But enough of that.
01:00:27We don't have all night.
01:00:28Ladies 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.
01:00:42You're too late, little brother.
01:00:44Two years too late.
01:00:45You chose this.
01:00:48You were gonna live your life
01:00:49with someone who truly loved you
01:00:50but 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
01:00:55that she marked herself as yours.
01:00:56She betrayed me
01:00:57with another man.
01:00:59Did you not see
01:01:00the paternity test?
01:01:04It's all right here.
01:01:09If you kill me now,
01:01:11the police will come
01:01:12and they'll find me
01:01:13and they'll link me to Audrey
01:01:14and they'll know
01:01:15that you murdered her
01:01:16while she was pregnant
01:01:17with your baby.
01:01:18You're fucking lying.
01:01:20You should have trusted Audrey.
01:01:23But you were so blinded
01:01:24by your jealousy
01:01:25and your anger
01:01:27that you killed someone
01:01:28who 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
01:02:04Alexander Cross.
01:02:06Father.
01:02:08Oh, Jesus.
01:02:11What have I done?
01:02:13What have I done?
01:02:14What have I done?
01:02:16I'm so sorry, Audrey.
01:02:18So that we don't have to keep
01:02:21this
01:02:23a secret.
01:02:25You're pregnant.
01:02:27We're gonna have the baby.
01:02:30I'm so sorry.
01:02:34No, no, no!
01:02:44I'm so sorry.
01:03:06Ready?
