Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Hi, I'm Zoe Campbell, I'm here for my interview.
00:00:16Take a seat, we'll call you when he's ready.
00:00:19Oh, okay.
00:00:22I have an interview later, mother.
00:00:29I swear, Ashton, you throw away assistants as if they have expiration dates printed on them.
00:00:34Don't worry, I won't take long.
00:00:37This is the third time this month.
00:00:39And every time it means thousands of dollars paid to shut up these blood-sucking flies on the wall.
00:00:46Come on, boys just want to have fun.
00:00:49Not when you're taking over a publicly traded company in two weeks.
00:00:56You leave me no choice.
00:00:59You're not crossing me off the trust fund.
00:01:03I won't, if you get married.
00:01:06This company is your father's life's work.
00:01:09I'm not letting a weak link ruin it.
00:01:11I'm so sorry for interrupting.
00:01:19Um, thank you.
00:01:20Who did her hair?
00:01:21Do you think she even combed it this morning?
00:01:23No, she did not comb it.
00:01:25It's called a rat's nest.
00:01:26Oh, yes.
00:01:29This is bullshit.
00:01:32It can help redeem your image.
00:01:34And show the public that you've stopped screwing around.
00:01:37Started acting like a grown-up.
00:01:39I never wanted to be CEO.
00:01:40You know very well why you cannot be the same.
00:01:45Or do I have to remind you?
00:01:49No.
00:01:50You're the heir to the Cross family, Ashton.
00:01:53This is the hand you've been dealt with.
00:01:56Play it well.
00:01:58This company is your father's life's work.
00:02:01I'm so sorry for interrupting.
00:02:04But Jeff said he needed your signature in three minutes.
00:02:07Or we wouldn't be able to close the contract with Gabe from K&L.
00:02:12And he'd be really, really unhappy.
00:02:13I'm sorry.
00:02:14I'm sorry.
00:02:14I'm sorry.
00:02:15I'm sorry.
00:02:15I'm sorry.
00:02:16I'm sorry.
00:02:16I'm sorry.
00:02:17I'm sorry.
00:02:17I'm sorry.
00:02:18I'm sorry.
00:02:18I'm sorry.
00:02:19I'm sorry.
00:02:19I'm really unhappy.
00:02:21Who are you?
00:02:22Pam from Marketing Strategies.
00:02:25Mrs. Cross, it's a pleasure to meet you.
00:02:27Thank you, Pam.
00:02:29Well, obviously, Pam and I have a lot of work to do.
00:02:33We'll talk about this another time.
00:02:36You're not off the hook, Ashton.
00:02:38I've gone through great lengths to set you up with some very worthy candidates.
00:02:42Remember, you have two weeks.
00:02:45And I want to see a ring.
00:02:49We're so sorry, Mr. Cross.
00:02:51We didn't mean to let this woman disturb you.
00:02:54Yeah, we're really sorry.
00:02:55We'll escort her out right away.
00:02:56Did I say I wanted her out?
00:02:59She's fine.
00:03:00She can stay.
00:03:01Go back to work.
00:03:05Now, go back to work.
00:03:14Zoe Campbell, why did you just burst in here like that?
00:03:18I didn't mean to eavesdrop.
00:03:19But it sounded like you could use an escape from that conversation.
00:03:22And you came up with that whole story on the spot just like that?
00:03:25I act fast under pressure.
00:03:33You're hired.
00:03:35Your first day starts right now.
00:03:38Didn't expect it to be so easy.
00:03:40But yes, I guess it all starts right now.
00:03:48I never said I was selling.
00:03:50Xander, wouldn't it make more sense if you didn't live in a penthouse?
00:03:56You'd also be closer to your PT, which Mother says is progressing.
00:04:01I wouldn't call taking five steps with a walker progressing.
00:04:05I should probably leave.
00:04:07Stay.
00:04:09I see my little brother has yet another young lady in his life.
00:04:12This is my new assistant.
00:04:14Her name is Zoe.
00:04:16I shall enjoy getting to know your acquaintance, Zoe.
00:04:18At least these next few months.
00:04:20Xander.
00:04:21I can fend for myself.
00:04:24What happened to you?
00:04:25Car accident.
00:04:26Our father died.
00:04:28Cross kingdom shattered overnight.
00:04:31What the press forgot to mention.
00:04:34You were there in the accident.
00:04:37Can we discuss the apartment?
00:04:39This meeting has completely been derailed.
00:04:43Zoe, perhaps it's best...
00:04:45If Xander and I continue alone.
00:04:53Wait, Zoe.
00:04:54So I'm telling you now.
00:04:57If he doesn't bend you over one way, he'll break you another.
00:05:02Really, Xander?
00:05:04Thank you for your concern.
00:05:06But the last thing you need to worry about is me falling for your brother.
00:05:10I assure you, you should be more afraid of me.
00:05:15Interesting.
00:05:16Xander, please.
00:05:17I'm only trying to help you.
00:05:23I don't know about you, but I could use a drink.
00:05:34I guess you could say that my relationship with my brother is improving.
00:05:38I mean, at least you're willing to work on it.
00:05:40I know my brother.
00:05:41And I know he's charming.
00:05:43Most of those women were in your position.
00:05:46Maybe Xander secretly wants to be close to you.
00:05:49Yeah, we don't have to talk about my brother or business.
00:05:54What should we talk about?
00:05:57We don't have to talk about my brother or business.
00:06:00What should we talk about?
00:06:02You tricked my mother and stood your own against Xander on the same day.
00:06:07That makes me a little curious.
00:06:10You know, they say curiosity is a dangerous thing.
00:06:14I'm not just another assistant you're going to go home with.
00:06:18I've had a lovely evening, though.
00:06:21And I'll see you tomorrow.
00:06:40So.
00:07:08Curiosity isn't enough.
00:07:10I need his trust.
00:07:13I've changed my face.
00:07:14I've come so far.
00:07:16There's no turning back.
00:07:18I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:07:21And I'll make him pay.
00:07:23I promise.
00:07:28I can't believe she left with Ashton last night.
00:07:31You know what they say, you sleep with the right person, you get the right job.
00:07:35Oh my god, you spilled coffee everywhere.
00:07:40I'm so embarrassing.
00:07:52Excuse me, ladies.
00:07:53I'm afraid I need to confiscate your key cards and escort you out.
00:07:57Wait, what?
00:07:58Why?
00:07:59It was a direct order from Mr. Cross.
00:08:01He fired us?
00:08:02I mean, he can't do that.
00:08:04I believe he can.
00:08:06Now, are you packing yourself or do you need a hand?
00:08:10It's just...
00:08:18You mess with the wrong person, you lose your job.
00:08:34Zoe, get in.
00:08:36You're coming with me.
00:08:38Look, Mr. Cross, I appreciate what you did,
00:08:40but I can't be seen going home with you every night.
00:08:43It's unprofessional.
00:08:44Zoe, you're my assistant now.
00:08:46You're gonna work when I need you to work.
00:08:48Or I can save us both the trouble and fire you right now.
00:08:5326 hours, that would be a record even for me.
00:09:01Can I at least ask where we're going?
00:09:04On a date.
00:09:07What?
00:09:10Can I at least ask where we're going?
00:09:13On a date.
00:09:14What?
00:09:17Mr. Cross, I can't do this.
00:09:19Black Zoe, this isn't for you.
00:09:22This is for me and a friend.
00:09:26You brought me on a date with another woman?
00:09:28Technically, three other women.
00:09:31Why would you do that?
00:09:33I trust your judgment.
00:09:34Tell me which one of these girls I should marry.
00:09:37Okay.
00:09:39I just love yachts.
00:09:41You know, you sail out from LA and the entire Atlantic Ocean is yours.
00:09:47The Pacific Ocean.
00:09:50What?
00:09:52Never mind, though.
00:09:53I actually don't own a yacht.
00:09:56But you're rich!
00:09:58I'm sorry, this is a deal breaker.
00:10:01Maybe you should just go for your assistant.
00:10:02She's on maintenance.
00:10:04Okay.
00:10:06Babies, I mean, they're just so small and they're scrunchy and they look old, like old people,
00:10:11but they're little and they're babies and they don't know how to talk to you.
00:10:14And so they start screaming and they start crying and then they poop and it goes everywhere
00:10:18and they throw up and like, honestly, it's the grossest thing I've ever experienced in
00:10:23my entire life.
00:10:23And not even that I experienced babies because I've never been around babies.
00:10:26Other than the fact that I used to be a baby, I just, I do not like babies at all.
00:10:32I think children are one of the most amazing gifts of life.
00:10:34And you are so funny, Ashton.
00:10:37I mean, the reality is just that babies would also get in the way of my social life and
00:10:42I have very high standards for like, living.
00:10:47And so...
00:10:48Don't you think that's kind of selfish?
00:10:52I'm being a realist.
00:10:54And you're joking, right?
00:10:55A man with your Playboy reputation?
00:10:59You're honestly telling me that I'm a playboy?
00:11:01You're honestly telling me that you want to settle down and have children?
00:11:09You are so funny.
00:11:11You are so funny.
00:11:14My mother said that you study literature.
00:11:16Have you read Fitzgerald?
00:11:19Who?
00:11:21Oh no, I didn't go to school.
00:11:22Did I go to school with him?
00:11:23I don't think I went to school with him.
00:11:25No, no, no.
00:11:26Uh, Fitzgerald.
00:11:28The great Gatsby.
00:11:29I love Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:11:32I love him.
00:11:33I was at a party and he was like, so hitting on me.
00:11:36It was so crazy.
00:11:37He was so short.
00:11:38It was so weird.
00:11:39Everything's been taken care of.
00:11:40Have a great night, alright?
00:11:41Oh, you paid for it?
00:11:42Yeah.
00:11:42Oh, really?
00:11:43Oh, thank you.
00:11:43Enjoy, let's go.
00:11:44Yeah.
00:11:44Where are we going?
00:11:45Um, have another date.
00:11:48Can you order another when you're like, on your way out?
00:11:50Absolutely.
00:11:51Okay.
00:11:52Tell your mom I said hi, I miss her.
00:11:54Yes, will do.
00:11:55Okay.
00:12:02Absolutely.
00:12:04Cheers.
00:12:08So, um, Fitzgerald, you want kids?
00:12:12I have to say, I did not expect that.
00:12:15Let me guess.
00:12:17You thought I was some playboy who didn't care about anything, just like everybody else.
00:12:22The truth is, when people misunderstand you, and enough misunderstand you,
00:12:29you slowly forget who you are, too.
00:12:34This place is amazing.
00:12:39Xander and I designed this place.
00:12:41Wow, you were close.
00:12:45Yeah, until we weren't.
00:12:50Do you have any siblings?
00:12:53No, um, it's just me.
00:12:56You know, two years ago, it was actually me who was supposed to be on that flight to
00:13:00Zurich with my father, not Xander.
00:13:05Sometimes I wish it was me.
00:13:10It was late at night.
00:13:14The car was headed to the airport, but I didn't show up.
00:13:23Xander was there.
00:13:26He was the air.
00:13:29He was raised to take over the company.
00:13:34But I ruined him.
00:13:36You didn't ruin him.
00:13:38No one's meant to be one thing.
00:13:39I mean, we all have a choice.
00:13:44Not in my world, Zoe.
00:13:46You saw for yourself.
00:13:48I can't even get married when I'd like.
00:13:50Well, maybe not when, but you get to choose who.
00:13:54That's the most important part.
00:13:57What if I chose you?
00:14:12What if I chose you?
00:14:16What?
00:14:19You heard me.
00:14:21Zoe Campbell, will you marry me?
00:14:27This is a joke.
00:14:28You're joking.
00:14:30I've never been more serious.
00:14:34Listen, Ashton, you may be used to getting whatever you want, whenever you want it.
00:14:38I don't want to marry you out of convenience.
00:14:41Zoe, women see me as a gold digger.
00:14:46Zoe, women see me as a golden ticket to money and fame.
00:14:52My father's passed away.
00:14:54Xander sees me as competition and my mother sees me as a pawn to save the family business.
00:14:59But you, Zoe, you actually see me for who I really am.
00:15:05That's good.
00:15:07You should have used that with some of your blind dates.
00:15:12I have to get married or I'm crossed off the trust fund.
00:15:16Negotiate your price.
00:15:18I'll have it put together.
00:15:20I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey, and I'll make him pay.
00:15:36How do I look?
00:15:40The city's most eligible bachelor is off the market,
00:15:43and mom gets what she wants.
00:15:45Most able-bodied son takes the throne and keeps his trust fund.
00:15:50And today's your big day.
00:15:52See you out there.
00:16:06Mrs. Cross,
00:16:10what a lovely bride you are.
00:16:12Ashton is a very lucky man.
00:16:18But you can cut the act with me, sweetheart.
00:16:21I know you and Ashton aren't really together.
00:16:25Well, if you really believe that, then why didn't you do something?
00:16:29I wanted to at first, but then I realized you're actually perfect.
00:16:37Why didn't you do something?
00:16:39I wanted to at first, but then I realized you're actually perfect.
00:16:46A working-class girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
00:16:50Pretty, but not too gorgeous.
00:16:56Sweet, but not too innocent.
00:17:01You're a real-life Cinderella, and the people love seeing a fairy tale come true.
00:17:08How do you know this will work?
00:17:11Because it worked for Robert and me.
00:17:17My husband built this empire, but he wouldn't have been able to rule it without me.
00:17:23And now it's your turn to stand next to Ashton on the throne,
00:17:28support him, help him, and play your part.
00:17:36I will, Mrs. Cross.
00:17:38Of course you will, and I intend to make sure of it.
00:17:50Stay with Ashton, and you'll have everything you need.
00:17:54Title, money.
00:17:57Leave him, or harm him, or his company's name, in any way.
00:18:03And not only won't you see a single penny, but I will personally destroy you.
00:18:12Well, that's where you're wrong, Mrs. Cross.
00:18:15I don't want anything from him.
00:18:18I just want Ashton.
00:18:29I think it looks perfect.
00:18:33Don't you think so, Mom?
00:18:42The essence of marriage is love, trust, and honesty.
00:18:47The virtues that we as human beings share.
00:18:51Ashton Cross, do you take this woman to be your wedded wife?
00:18:56I do.
00:18:58Zoe Campbell, do you take this man to be your wedded husband?
00:19:02To cherish, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, until death do you part?
00:19:33Yes, I do.
00:19:38As a token of your vows, you may exchange your symbol of love.
00:19:52By the power vested in me, by God, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:19:58You may kiss the bride.
00:20:28Uh-oh, I don't like that look.
00:20:30There seems to be a competition going on called
00:20:33who can come up with the most humiliating article about Zoe Campbell.
00:20:37Zoe Campbell puts a ring on Ashton Cross a week after becoming his assistant.
00:20:41One can only imagine how good Mrs. Campbell is at impressing her boss.
00:20:48Why are you even reading that garbage?
00:20:52I'm just not used to seeing my name trending.
00:21:00See something you like?
00:21:03Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:21:04Fine, I'm gonna dress for dinner.
00:21:07Uh, I think you're fine right where you are.
00:21:30I've never felt like this before, Zoe.
00:21:53Look me in my eyes.
00:21:56Tell me you feel the same way.
00:22:00This marriage is just a piece of paper.
00:22:06It's a contract.
00:22:07Nothing more.
00:22:11Okay.
00:22:16Ashton, what happened to the woman at your work who killed herself?
00:22:23Did you know her?
00:22:25Um, no, not really.
00:22:27Uh, I know that she was nice.
00:22:30I saw her in the office a few times, but that was it.
00:22:32Why are you asking?
00:22:35Nothing.
00:22:35I, um, saw it on the news.
00:22:39Thought it was sad.
00:22:40Just wanted to know what the deal was.
00:22:43Yeah.
00:22:45Don't worry about the articles.
00:22:47I'll have it taken care of.
00:22:49You won't see anything tomorrow.
00:22:52Yeah.
00:22:54Don't mention it.
00:22:56Good night.
00:23:00Good night.
00:23:31Heavily involved in the mob.
00:23:33No names have been released.
00:23:43We'll be sure to update everyone on that story.
00:23:52Everyone on that story.
00:24:00I really hope it wasn't you.
00:24:19I need to get rid of it all.
00:24:26All right, well, if I can't meet the guy,
00:24:28you at least have to tell me something about him.
00:24:31What do you guys do?
00:24:32Do you go dancing?
00:24:33Um, he can't really dance.
00:24:35What do you mean he can't dance?
00:24:36You love dancing.
00:24:37He just doesn't, okay?
00:24:40Zoe!
00:24:44I'm holding a meeting and I'm taking you to lunch.
00:24:47I wasn't expecting you on so soon.
00:24:49Oh, can a guy take his girl out on a date?
00:24:52But, I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:25:04I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:25:10You're a cheeseburger girl, aren't you?
00:25:12Not a lobster girl.
00:25:13What?
00:25:14I'm taking you to lunch and I never really asked.
00:25:18Do you like cheeseburgers or do you like cheeseburgers?
00:25:19Never really asked.
00:25:21Do you like cheeseburgers or do you like lobster?
00:25:26Oh, sounds like we need to get some food in you pretty quick.
00:25:30Don't worry.
00:25:30Already made reservations at Il Flore.
00:25:32They have cheeseburgers and lobster.
00:25:35I, look Ashton, there's something I have to tell you.
00:25:39Wait, how can I be so stupid?
00:25:43I keep making these reservations and I never even asked about your feelings.
00:25:48I keep showing you my world, but you haven't even had a chance to show me yours.
00:25:52Forget the reservations.
00:25:54Let's go wherever you want.
00:25:56Um, okay.
00:26:12Mmm, now this is food.
00:26:18Is everything okay?
00:26:24Yeah, it's just, I don't do stuff like this often.
00:26:31You wouldn't believe it, but this is my first ever picnic.
00:26:34What?
00:26:35Like, not even as a kid?
00:26:36Between Latin, math, leadership class, we didn't really have time to be kids.
00:26:48Come on.
00:26:49Where are we going?
00:26:50Somewhere we can be kids again.
00:26:58You want me to do this?
00:27:00Zoe, I'm a 28 year old man in an $8,500 suit.
00:27:05I'm not kidding on that.
00:27:06That's crazy.
00:27:08I married someone I knew less than 30 hours.
00:27:11I think I get to decide what's crazy or not.
00:27:15This?
00:27:15Yes, sit down.
00:27:19Is this your first time on a swing?
00:27:21No, why would you think that?
00:27:23Oh my god, it is.
00:27:25Okay, look, you're just gonna have to trust me, okay?
00:27:27I'm not gonna let you fall.
00:27:28Okay, don't forget it.
00:27:33When I was little, my sister used to push me so high, and I would just focus on the sky.
00:27:39It felt like I was flying.
00:27:41Wow.
00:27:42So, Ashton Kross, what do you think about my world?
00:27:50It's chaotic, but wonderful.
00:28:01Hey, you two!
00:28:03This is clearly not the time or place.
00:28:05Children, god, get a room!
00:28:08You see anything you like?
00:28:11Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:28:16Now that I haven't seen before.
00:28:37I love what you've done with the place.
00:29:02None for me.
00:29:03Since when?
00:29:04Since...
00:29:07Holy shit, you're pregnant?
00:29:10Am I gonna get to meet the guy before I leave town?
00:29:12It's complicated.
00:29:13He's complicated, and everything's happening so fast, and I'm scared that something might go wrong.
00:29:20You are happy, though, right?
00:29:22I just worry about you living here without me now.
00:29:25Zoe, I'm fine.
00:29:27I mean, I don't know, you're just rushing into this relationship, and now motherhood adds so much stress.
00:29:33I'm in a really good place now, I've been doing this new therapy.
00:29:38Yeah, but I mean, you're rushing into a relationship with this guy that
00:29:42is gonna be the father of your child, and I haven't even met him.
00:29:44Zoe, he loves me.
00:29:49I know he does.
00:29:53He loves me.
00:29:54I know he does.
00:29:58You'd be crazy not to.
00:30:02Audrey?
00:30:19No, Audrey, please!
00:30:22Zoe, are you okay?
00:30:24Zoe!
00:30:26You're screaming!
00:30:31I'm fine.
00:30:32I'm fine.
00:30:39I'm fine.
00:30:40Are you sure?
00:30:47I had a sister.
00:30:51Our parents died when we were young, so, you know, growing up in orphanages and foster homes,
00:31:00you never really feel like anything belongs to you.
00:31:04Snacks and toys, you share everything.
00:31:09And my sister, she developed this habit that anytime she felt like something was
00:31:16like hers, truly hers, she would write her initials on it.
00:31:27She was all I had.
00:31:31And now that she's gone, it's like I don't have anything.
00:31:35I totally understand.
00:31:47My dad was the only person alive who understood me.
00:31:51And after he died, I haven't had a real connection with anyone since.
00:31:57Anything remotely real, Xander would sabotage out of jealousy.
00:32:05Wait here.
00:32:22Now I can have something that's actually yours again.
00:32:27You can't blame this all on your brother.
00:32:40You need to learn to control your anger.
00:32:43It's consuming you.
00:32:44If you're not asking, I'm not answering.
00:32:46You know this is the only way.
00:32:49It should be me and you know it.
00:32:51And he had the nerve to offer me an advisor position to the company you took away from me.
00:32:56You think I want to hand the company over to him?
00:33:06You're right, Xander.
00:33:07It should be you.
00:33:09We have the board and the shareholders to convince and they're blind.
00:33:14All they see is you in a wheelchair.
00:33:16Fuck the board.
00:33:17Fuck the shareholders.
00:33:18This is what I mean.
00:33:20The rage.
00:33:22You were once committed to getting better.
00:33:26We can get over what happened.
00:33:29But you have to want it.
00:33:32He doesn't deserve everything.
00:33:34Your father would have wanted you both to be happy.
00:33:38And that's all I want for you.
00:33:49Are you sure you're not coming?
00:33:56Do I want to go to a charity gala that snobby rich people hold
00:33:59just to feel better about buying three million dollar mansions and not paying taxes?
00:34:06I'm good.
00:34:06Thank you, though.
00:34:08Hey, you better watch it.
00:34:09You're married to one of those rich snobby people now.
00:34:13Come on, Zoe.
00:34:15We'll find some way to have fun.
00:34:19Go, you'll be late.
00:34:27Fine, I'll have a car to pick you up if you change your mind.
00:34:45Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:34:49Audrey.
00:35:12Can you get the car ready, please?
00:35:15I am going to the gala.
00:35:17Uh, and um, don't let Mr. Cross know I'm coming.
00:35:22I want it to be a surprise.
00:35:30Care to grab your brother a drink?
00:35:35Love you.
00:35:42So, how's the married life?
00:35:44And how's my sister-in-law?
00:35:46She's good.
00:35:48You know, this isn't really her thing.
00:35:50That's good.
00:35:51You know, I was worried about her.
00:35:54People are going to say what they're going to say, but
00:35:56she shouldn't let those rumors bother her.
00:35:58Rumors?
00:36:00What are you talking about?
00:36:01I took care of everything.
00:36:03This came out 30 minutes ago.
00:36:26I'm just glad Zoe's not here to take the blowout.
00:36:32Zoe?
00:36:41You told me you barely knew her.
00:36:43What are you talking about?
00:36:44I'm talking about this book.
00:36:45That's Xander's book.
00:36:46Zoe, we got something bigger going on right now.
00:36:48What do you mean it's Xander's book?
00:36:50How could he?
00:36:51Yeah, I can tell you're upset, but look at this.
00:36:57An anonymous source leaked the pronunciable agreement between real estate mogul Ashton
00:37:01Cross and Zoe Campbell, showing that this is a well-constructed marriage.
00:37:05I know that this is a sham marriage, but I'm falling for you.
00:37:11And I want to protect us, protect you.
00:37:15I don't know why, but I believe you.
00:37:18I don't know if you're a psychopath or if everything I thought I knew was wrong.
00:37:25I don't know what's going on with you.
00:37:27I am falling for you, but these people, they're going to eat you alive.
00:37:31Well, I like to think I act fast under pressure.
00:37:37Zoe, wait!
00:37:43Zoe, what are you doing?
00:37:45Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:37:49I'm Zoe Cross.
00:37:50I'm sure you all know my husband, Ashton Cross.
00:37:53Now, I'm aware that many are questioning the authenticity of our marriage
00:37:59and I'm here to confirm that it's true.
00:38:05Our marriage was a sham.
00:38:09I signed a prenup agreeing to marry Ashton because I thought
00:38:13that it would bring me wealth and fame, but I was wrong.
00:38:19It turned out to be so much more than that.
00:38:22He isn't just this spoiled, rich kid, playboy, heartbreaker.
00:38:28Everything people say is just to sell stories.
00:38:34He's actually kinder and stronger and better.
00:38:43And I want him to know that I'm falling for him, too.
00:39:52I can feel you staring at me.
00:40:05I haven't felt like this in a while.
00:40:09I feel like myself.
00:40:13Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I don't recognize myself.
00:40:19When I see you, I see you.
00:40:22Do you promise?
00:40:29Cross my heart.
00:40:47Can we chat?
00:40:48Of course.
00:40:52What can I do for you?
00:40:55I know that you are the anonymous source and that you sent the press our marriage contract.
00:41:01I don't want to make a deal.
00:41:04Why would I do something like that?
00:41:06It doesn't matter and I don't care, but for whatever reason you're doing it,
00:41:11you're coming between Ashton and I.
00:41:13Do you mean your scam of a marriage?
00:41:15It was, but it's real now.
00:41:18I just want you and Ashton to repair this relationship so that we can all be happy.
00:41:24What's your angle here?
00:41:25There's no angle.
00:41:26I just, I'm going through my own trauma and there are a lot of things that I wish I could
00:41:31go back and say differently to my sister.
00:41:39I know you have a history and I know that it's difficult, but it's worth making amends.
00:41:48Does he know I leaked the story to the press?
00:41:50No, no, no.
00:41:52It's been thrown up already.
00:42:04Whatever hurt that you've caused each other can be forgiven.
00:42:10What if the things you've done aren't forgivable?
00:42:15The past doesn't matter.
00:42:16Just what you do now matters.
00:42:20You fell for him.
00:42:22I got to know him.
00:42:25Maybe you should too.
00:42:30Maybe.
00:42:47I really hope that you and your brother can work things out.
00:42:55I'd like nothing more than to get closer to you, Zoey.
00:43:09Is that possible?
00:43:16This is important, Henry.
00:43:21I need to know I can trust you on this.
00:43:23Of course you can, Xander.
00:43:24But why are you...
00:43:26I don't need questions, Henry.
00:43:27I need answers.
00:43:30Don't worry.
00:43:31I'll have the test results in 24 hours.
00:43:33Good.
00:43:34Call me when you have it.
00:43:36And remember, I was never here.
00:43:46Never.
00:44:04I know that you were the anonymous source.
00:44:13Hey, I have the test results.
00:44:15It's a perfect match.
00:44:17So they're related.
00:44:18It's more than that, Xander.
00:44:19I said perfect match.
00:44:21The two DNA samples are identical.
00:44:26I feel like I know you from somewhere.
00:44:28Maybe another life.
00:44:34They're twins.
00:44:44They're twins.
00:44:59Good morning, Mrs. Cross.
00:45:01Is it about time?
00:45:02For cleaning?
00:45:04Yes, Mrs. Cross.
00:45:05I come every Monday.
00:45:07I can always come back.
00:45:08No, come in.
00:45:09I'll just go get a coffee.
00:45:15It won't take long, Mrs. Cross.
00:45:33I'm in.
00:45:38This takes time, Xander.
00:45:40I'm a private detective, not a sniffer dog.
00:45:44I need to go.
00:46:07Checkmate.
00:46:14If you're thinking of having one of those, I won't object.
00:46:28You handled the crisis well.
00:46:31I was sure you'd run away with your tail between your legs.
00:46:34But you stayed.
00:46:38But what for?
00:46:41Now I know, no one gets close to my sons without wanting something.
00:46:46The question is, what do you want?
00:46:56Voila.
00:47:05What do you want?
00:47:10You're right, Lauren.
00:47:11I think I did want something from Ashton, but I don't know that I want it now.
00:47:20I recognize that look on your face.
00:47:25It happened to me with Robert, Sander and Ashton's father.
00:47:30I fell in love with a man I hated.
00:47:35It was an arranged marriage and I didn't want to be in it.
00:47:39I got to truly know him and it changed me.
00:47:47Don't stare at me like that, Zoe.
00:47:49You might think I'm a witch whose heart is made of stone, but I still know what love
00:47:54is.
00:48:02You wanted to see me?
00:48:04Take a seat.
00:48:10What's up?
00:48:11I found something and I think you should see this.
00:48:19She's Audrey's sister.
00:48:20She changed her identity, her face, just to get close to you.
00:48:24Why?
00:48:25Think about it, Ashton.
00:48:26She came into your life out of nowhere three months after Audrey's death.
00:48:30She lied to you, married you, manipulated you, shared a bed with you.
00:48:34There's only one thing that drives people this far.
00:48:38Revenge.
00:48:39I'm sorry, little brother.
00:48:42Looks like it's time to wake up from this dream.
00:48:50You're just saying that because you want me to help run your precious company.
00:48:55Yes, I was Robert's wife and his company is very important to me.
00:49:01But I'm also a mother.
00:49:06I can see Ashton cares about you more than the others.
00:49:12He has calmed his playboy antics.
00:49:16I can see he's a better person with you.
00:49:20There was one woman before, but she disappeared.
00:49:23Who knows why?
00:49:24She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being across.
00:49:31Love isn't logical, Zoe.
00:49:33And loving Ashton is probably the most illogical thing you could do.
00:49:37But that doesn't make it wrong.
00:49:41Wait.
00:49:44There was another woman?
00:49:46A serious relationship?
00:49:47What happened to her?
00:49:49Who knows, Zoe?
00:49:50You probably got sick of her like all the other girls.
00:49:53I don't think so.
00:49:56Who knows, Zoe?
00:49:58You probably got sick of her like all the other girls.
00:50:01You're here now.
00:50:03She's gone forever.
00:50:04And for some reason, he likes keeping you around.
00:50:09So you're my only hope.
00:50:11Your only hope for what?
00:50:14A family legacy, Zoe.
00:50:16Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:50:20Ashton is the future of this company and this family.
00:50:25Xander's reign ended in that car accident.
00:50:29Everything is working according to plan.
00:50:32At least for Ashton.
00:50:45Ashton?
00:50:47You actually believe it?
00:50:50That I killed Audrey?
00:50:52I don't want to.
00:50:55I see it now.
00:50:58The AC tattoo.
00:51:00The high-profile lover.
00:51:03The pregnancy.
00:51:05It has to be you.
00:51:07There's no other explanation.
00:51:14Wait.
00:51:16Audrey was pregnant?
00:51:17You didn't know, did you?
00:51:25When you pushed her off the balcony?
00:51:28I never slept with Audrey.
00:51:31She was with someone else.
00:51:33Stop lying to me.
00:51:35You've been lying to me!
00:51:37I wanted to tell you.
00:51:39But how do you tell someone?
00:51:41That you completely changed what you looked like to avenge your sister's death?
00:51:45You made me fall in love with you.
00:51:49And I fell in love with the man who murdered my Audrey.
00:51:54I didn't kill her, Zoe.
00:51:56I swear.
00:52:00Cross my heart.
00:52:20I really wish that it wasn't you.
00:52:24Would you believe me if I said I really did love you?
00:52:37Neither would I.
00:52:53I love you.
00:53:24I love you.
00:53:41Paternity test results.
00:53:54Zander.
00:53:56Now's not a good time.
00:53:58Now is the perfect time.
00:54:00I know where Zoe is.
00:54:02I'll send you the address, but
00:54:04you better hurry
00:54:06if you want to say goodbye.
00:54:08What are you talking about?
00:54:10Everyone has their tipping point, Ashton.
00:54:12All I need to do
00:54:14is give her one last chance.
00:54:16I'm sorry.
00:54:18I'm sorry.
00:54:20I'm sorry.
00:54:23Just give her one tiny push.
00:54:27Zander,
00:54:29if you hurt her,
00:54:31I'll kill you.
00:54:33You've already done that, Ashton.
00:54:35Two years ago.
00:54:38Zander.
00:54:40Zander.
00:54:48Paternity test results.
00:54:53A family legacy, Zoe.
00:54:55I see.
00:54:57Zander can't give me a grandchild,
00:54:59but Ashton can.
00:55:01Zander Cross.
00:55:03Alexander Cross.
00:55:23Um, he can't really dance.
00:55:25What do you mean he can't dance?
00:55:27He loved dancing.
00:55:29He just doesn't, okay?
00:55:33Audrey betrayed me.
00:55:35What are you doing here?
00:55:37And so did Ashton.
00:55:39I guess some curses do run in the family.
00:55:43Get inside.
00:55:47I'm sorry.
00:55:49I'm sorry.
00:55:51I'm sorry.
00:56:07Happy birthday.
00:56:09Oh, Zander.
00:56:11Wow.
00:56:13This is an amazing gift.
00:56:15But I was hoping
00:56:17that maybe
00:56:20I could ask for something else?
00:56:22Anything.
00:56:24Well, I was thinking that maybe
00:56:26it was time that we take our relationship
00:56:28public.
00:56:30So that we don't have to keep
00:56:32this
00:56:34a secret.
00:56:38You're pregnant.
00:56:40We're gonna have the baby.
00:56:44I never thought it'd come to this.
00:56:46But you're happy, right?
00:56:50Of course.
00:56:52So happy.
00:56:54I love you, Zander.
00:56:56I love you, Audrey.
00:56:58You're mine.
00:57:00Now and forever.
00:57:02Come on, help me up.
00:57:04Let me put this necklace on my future wife.
00:57:10Turn around.
00:57:20Zander, what are you doing?
00:57:22I never told you.
00:57:24Because I was ashamed.
00:57:26I can't have kids.
00:57:28You want to fool me
00:57:30into being your crippled rich husband?
00:57:32Zander, please.
00:57:34I have proof.
00:57:36It's your baby.
00:57:38Our baby.
00:57:42Ah!
00:57:45Ah!
00:57:51Get inside.
00:58:00It was you.
00:58:02You killed Audrey.
00:58:05And you're the one who sent my DNA
00:58:07and my passport to Ashton.
00:58:09All of it was you.
00:58:11How did you know who I was?
00:58:14The day you came and visited me in my office,
00:58:16you hugged me the exact same way she did.
00:58:20The exact
00:58:22same way she did.
00:58:28Sentiments can really fuck things up, huh?
00:58:32So you're gonna kill me now, too?
00:58:34No.
00:58:36I have a better plan for you.
00:58:38Zoe!
00:58:40No, no, Ashton, no, you can't come in.
00:58:43Welcome to
00:58:45the grand finale, little brother.
00:58:47I don't know about you,
00:58:49but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
00:58:55Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.
00:58:57I don't know about you,
00:58:59but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
00:59:03One more step and she's dead.
00:59:05It's not her fault what happened, it's mine.
00:59:07Don't worry about it.
00:59:09You're gonna get yours, I'm gonna have my payback.
00:59:12I'm gonna take back everything you took from me.
00:59:14My job, my title, my reputation.
00:59:18But in order to do that,
00:59:20I gotta make sure you never get in my way again.
00:59:25You see two sisters dying in the same apartment?
00:59:29That's gonna lead to suspicion.
00:59:31But if I can connect them...
00:59:33Have you lost your mind?
00:59:35Let me fucking finish.
00:59:37If I can connect them to the same men,
00:59:39You killed Audrey?
00:59:45You killed Audrey?
00:59:47You did.
00:59:49Soon the B-C-U-O turns out to be a maniac.
00:59:53Brutally killing his mistress and his wife.
00:59:57After he kills her, he turns himself in.
01:00:01Or puts the gun to his own head.
01:00:03I don't care.
01:00:05You choose, little brother.
01:00:08You can't get away with this.
01:00:10Of course I will.
01:00:12All I gotta do is convince the shareholders.
01:00:14You'd be surprised how quickly
01:00:16a bunch of lies can turn into the truth.
01:00:20But enough of that, we don't have all night.
01:00:22Ladies first.
01:00:28Xander, you don't have to do this!
01:00:30Shut the fuck up.
01:00:32Just shut the fuck up.
01:00:34Please.
01:00:37I'm sorry, little brother.
01:00:39Two years too late.
01:00:41You chose this.
01:00:43You could have lived your life with someone who truly loved you,
01:00:45but instead you murdered her.
01:00:47She never loved me.
01:00:49She had an A.C. tattoo!
01:00:51She loved you so much that she marked herself as yours!
01:00:53She betrayed me with another man!
01:00:55Did you not see the paternity test?
01:00:59It's all right here.
01:01:03If you kill me now,
01:01:06the police will come and they'll find me
01:01:08and they'll link me to Audrey
01:01:10and they'll know that you murdered her
01:01:12while she was pregnant with your baby.
01:01:14You're fucking lying.
01:01:16You should have trusted Audrey.
01:01:18But you were so blinded by your jealousy
01:01:20and your anger
01:01:22that you killed someone who truly loved you.
01:01:32Action!
01:01:36You're a liar, Zoey Campbell.
01:01:40And you're dead.
01:01:44Audrey Hale,
01:01:46mother.
01:01:4899.9% match with
01:01:54Alexander Cross.
01:01:56Fuck.
01:01:58Oh, Jesus.
01:02:00What have I done?
01:02:02What have I done?
01:02:05What have I done?
01:02:07What have I done?
01:02:09I'm so sorry, Audrey.
01:02:11So that
01:02:13we don't have to keep
01:02:15this
01:02:17a secret.
01:02:19You're pregnant.
01:02:21We're gonna have the baby.
01:02:23I'm so sorry.
01:02:27No, no, no!
01:02:35I'm so sorry.
01:02:57Ready?
01:02:59As ready as I'll ever be.
01:03:05Okay, okay, okay.
01:03:07One.
01:03:09Two.
01:03:11Three.
01:03:13We're having a girl.
01:03:15It's our girl.
01:03:17We're having a baby girl.
01:03:19I know the perfect name.
01:03:21Mm-hmm.
01:03:23Audrey.
01:03:27I know the perfect name.
01:03:29Mm-hmm.
01:03:31Audrey.
01:03:34You wanna swing?
01:03:38Don't let me fall, okay?
01:03:40Cross my heart.
01:03:42Ready?
01:03:44Okay.
01:03:50How does it feel?
01:03:52Like I'm flying.
