00:00:00Zoe Campbell, will you marry me?
00:00:02Yes, it's Sting Cross.
00:00:05I'll marry you.
00:00:08No one gets close to my sons without wanting something.
00:00:12What do you want?
00:00:16Zoe, he loves me.
00:00:18I know he does.
00:00:19I've changed my face. I've come so far.
00:00:32I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:00:36And I'll make him pay.
00:00:44There's no turning back.
00:00:46I promise.
00:00:49Hi, I'm Zoe Campbell. I'm here for my interview.
00:01:11Take a seat. We'll call you when he's ready.
00:01:14Oh, okay.
00:01:15I'll have an interview later, Mother.
00:01:24I swear.
00:01:26Ashton, you throw away assistants as if they have expiration dates printed on them.
00:01:30Don't worry.
00:01:31It won't take long.
00:01:33This is the third time this month.
00:01:35And every time, it means thousands of dollars paid to shut up these blood-sucking flies on the wall.
00:01:41Come on.
00:01:43Boys just want to have fun.
00:01:45Not when you're taking over a publicly traded company in two weeks.
00:01:51You leave me no choice.
00:01:55You're not crossing me off the trust fund.
00:01:59I won't.
00:02:00If you get married.
00:02:02This company is your father's life's work.
00:02:05I'm not letting a weak link ruin it.
00:02:07I'm so sorry for interrupting.
00:02:16I never said I was selling.
00:02:18Xander, wouldn't it make more sense if you didn't live in a penthouse?
00:02:24You'd also be closer to your PT, which Mother says is progressing.
00:02:28I wouldn't call taking five steps with a walk or progressing.
00:02:33I should probably leave.
00:02:35Stay.
00:02:36I see my little brother has yet another young lady in his life.
00:02:40This is my new assistant.
00:02:42Her name is Zoe.
00:02:44I shall enjoy getting to know your acquaintance, Zoe.
00:02:47At least these next few months.
00:02:49Xander.
00:02:49I can fend for myself.
00:02:53What happened to you?
00:02:54Car accident.
00:02:54Our father died.
00:02:57Cross kingdom shattered overnight.
00:03:00What the press forgot to mention.
00:03:02You were there.
00:03:03In the accident.
00:03:05Can we discuss the apartment?
00:03:08This meeting's completely been derailed.
00:03:12Zoe, perhaps it's best if Xander and I continue alone.
00:03:21Wait, Zoe.
00:03:22That's what I'm telling you now.
00:03:24If he doesn't bend you over one way, he'll break you another day.
00:03:30Really, Xander?
00:03:31Thank you for your concern.
00:03:34But the last thing you need to worry about is me falling for your brother.
00:03:38I assure you, you should be more afraid of me.
00:03:42Interesting.
00:03:43Xander, please.
00:03:45I'm only trying to help you.
00:03:46I don't know about you, but I could use a drink.
00:04:01I guess you could say that my relationship with my brother is improving.
00:04:05I mean, at least you're willing to work on it.
00:04:07I know my brother, and I know he's charming.
00:04:10Most of those women were in your position.
00:04:13Maybe Xander secretly wants to be close to you.
00:04:16Yeah, we don't have to talk about my brother.
00:04:19Or business.
00:04:21What should we talk about?
00:04:24We don't have to talk about my brother.
00:04:26Or business.
00:04:28What should we talk about?
00:04:29You tricked my mother, and stood your own against Xander on the same day?
00:04:34That makes me a little curious.
00:04:39You know they say curiosity is a dangerous thing.
00:04:43I'm not just another assistant you're going to go home with.
00:04:47I've had a lovely evening, though.
00:04:49And I'll see you tomorrow.
00:04:59I'll see you tomorrow.
00:05:29Curiosity isn't enough.
00:05:37I need his trust.
00:05:40I've changed my face.
00:05:42I've come so far.
00:05:43There's no turning back.
00:05:46I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:05:48And I'll make him pay.
00:05:50I promise.
00:05:55I can't believe she left with Ashton last night.
00:05:58You know what you say.
00:05:59You sleep with the right person, you get the right job.
00:06:02Oh, my God.
00:06:03You spilled coffee everywhere.
00:06:05That was so embarrassing.
00:06:19Excuse me, ladies.
00:06:21I'm afraid I need to confiscate your key cards and escort you out.
00:06:24Wait, what?
00:06:25Why?
00:06:25It was a direct order from Mr. Cross.
00:06:28He fired us?
00:06:29I mean, he can't do that.
00:06:31I believe he can.
00:06:33Now, are you packing yourself or do you need a hand?
00:06:39Just a moment.
00:06:40You messed up the wrong person, you lose your job.
00:06:48Zoe, get in.
00:07:03You're coming with me.
00:07:05Look, Mr. Cross, I appreciate what you did, but I can't be seen going home with you every night.
00:07:11It's unprofessional.
00:07:12I said, well, you're my assistant now.
00:07:14You're going to work when I need you to work.
00:07:16Or I can save us both the trouble and fire you right now.
00:07:2126 hours, that would be a record even for me.
00:07:29Can I at least ask where we're going?
00:07:32On a date.
00:07:34What?
00:07:34Mr. Cross, I can't do this.
00:07:46Black Zoe, this isn't for you.
00:07:49This is for me and a friend.
00:07:52You brought me on a date with another woman.
00:07:55Technically, three other women.
00:07:57Why would you do that?
00:07:59I trust your judgment.
00:08:01Tell me which one of these girls I should marry.
00:08:04I just love yachts.
00:08:08You know, you sail out from L.A. and the entire Atlantic Ocean is yours.
00:08:14The Pacific Ocean.
00:08:16What?
00:08:19Never mind, though.
00:08:20I actually don't own a yacht.
00:08:22But you're rich!
00:08:24I'm sorry, this is a deal breaker.
00:08:28Maybe we should just go for your assistant.
00:08:29She's on maintenance.
00:08:33Okay.
00:08:34Babies, I mean, they're just so small.
00:08:37They're scrungy and they look old.
00:08:39Like old people, but they're little and they're babies and they don't know how to talk to you.
00:08:44And so they start screaming and they start crying and then they poop and it goes everywhere and they throw up.
00:08:49And like, honestly, it's the grossest thing I've ever experienced in my entire life.
00:08:53And not even that I experienced babies because I've never been around babies.
00:08:56Other than the fact that I used to be a baby, I just, I do not like babies.
00:09:00Like, at all.
00:09:01I think children are one of the most amazing gifts of life.
00:09:04And you are so funny, Ashton.
00:09:07I mean, the reality is just that babies would also get in the way of my social life.
00:09:11And I have very high standards for, like, living.
00:09:16And so...
00:09:16Don't you think that's kind of selfish?
00:09:21I'm being a realist.
00:09:23And you're joking, right?
00:09:25A man with your playboy reputation?
00:09:28You're honestly telling me that you want to settle down and have children.
00:09:32You are so funny.
00:09:38You are so funny.
00:09:40My mother said that you study literature.
00:09:43Have you, uh, read Fitzgerald?
00:09:46Who?
00:09:47Oh, no, I didn't go to school.
00:09:49Did I go to school with him?
00:09:50I don't think I went to school with him.
00:09:52No, no, no.
00:09:53Uh, Fitzgerald.
00:09:54The Great Gatsby.
00:09:57I love Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:09:59I love him.
00:10:00I was at a party, and he was, like, so hitting on me.
00:10:03It was so crazy.
00:10:05He was so short.
00:10:06It was so weird.
00:10:07Everything's been taken care of.
00:10:08Have a great night, are you right?
00:10:08Oh, you paid for it?
00:10:09Yeah.
00:10:10Oh, really?
00:10:10Oh, thank you.
00:10:11So, wait, let's go.
00:10:11Yeah.
00:10:12Where are we going?
00:10:12Um, I have another date.
00:10:15Can you order another way, like, on your way out?
00:10:18Absolutely.
00:10:18Okay.
00:10:20Tell your mom I said hi.
00:10:21I miss her.
00:10:22Yes, I will do.
00:10:22Okay.
00:10:29Absolutely.
00:10:30Cheers.
00:10:34So, um, Fitzgerald, you want kids?
00:10:39I have to say, I did not expect that.
00:10:42Let me guess.
00:10:43You thought I was some playboy who didn't care about anything, just like everybody else.
00:10:47The truth is, when people misunderstand you, and enough misunderstand you, you slowly forget
00:10:57who you are, too.
00:10:57This place is amazing.
00:11:05Xander and I designed this place.
00:11:08Wow.
00:11:09You were close.
00:11:11Yeah.
00:11:13Until we weren't.
00:11:14Do you have any siblings?
00:11:17Um, no.
00:11:20Um, it's just me.
00:11:22You know, two years ago, it was actually me who was supposed to be on that flight to
00:11:29Zurich with my father.
00:11:31Not Xander.
00:11:32Sometimes I wish it was me.
00:11:35It was late at night.
00:11:43The car was headed to the airport.
00:11:44But I didn't show up.
00:11:52Xander was the heir.
00:11:55He was raised to take over the company.
00:11:57But I ruined him.
00:12:02You didn't ruin him.
00:12:04No one's meant to be one thing.
00:12:06I mean, we all have a choice.
00:12:10Not in my world, Zoe.
00:12:12You saw for yourself.
00:12:14I can't even get married when I'd like.
00:12:17Well, maybe not win, but you get to choose who.
00:12:20That's the most important part.
00:12:24No.
00:12:27What if I chose you?
00:12:38What if I chose you?
00:12:42What?
00:12:45You heard me.
00:12:49What?
00:12:52Zoe Gamble?
00:12:54Will you marry me?
00:12:57This is the joke.
00:13:00You're joking.
00:13:02I've never been more serious.
00:13:05Listen, Eshin, you may be used to getting whatever you want whenever you want it.
00:13:09I don't want to marry you out of convenience.
00:13:12Zoe.
00:13:15Women see me as a golden ticket to money and fame.
00:13:18My father's passed away.
00:13:19Xander sees me as competition and my mother sees me as a pawn to save the family business.
00:13:25But you, Zoe, you actually see me for who I really am.
00:13:29It was good.
00:13:33You should have used that with some of your blind dates.
00:13:38I have to get married or I'm crossed off the trust fund.
00:13:42Negotiate your price.
00:13:44I'll have to put together.
00:13:47I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:13:49And I'll make him pay.
00:13:50How do I look?
00:14:06The city's most eligible bachelor is off the market.
00:14:10My mom gets what she wants.
00:14:11Her most able-bodied son.
00:14:14Takes the throne and keeps his trust fund.
00:14:17And today's your big day.
00:14:18I'll see you out there.
00:14:31Mrs. Cross.
00:14:36What a lovely bride you are.
00:14:39Ashton is a very lucky man.
00:14:44But you can cut the act with me, sweetheart.
00:14:46I know you and Ashton aren't really together.
00:14:51Well, if you really believed that, then why didn't you do something?
00:14:55I wanted to at first.
00:14:57But then I realized...
00:15:00You're actually perfect.
00:15:02Why didn't you do something?
00:15:04I wanted to at first.
00:15:07But then I realized...
00:15:09You're actually perfect.
00:15:11A working-class girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
00:15:16Pretty.
00:15:17But not too gorgeous.
00:15:22Sweet.
00:15:24But not too innocent.
00:15:27You're a real-life Cinderella.
00:15:29And the people love seeing a fairy tale come true.
00:15:32How do you know this will work?
00:15:36Because.
00:15:39It worked for Robert and me.
00:15:42My husband built this empire.
00:15:45But he wouldn't have been able to rule it without me.
00:15:48And now it's your turn.
00:15:50To stand next to Ashton on the throne.
00:15:54Support him.
00:15:55Help him.
00:15:56And play your part.
00:16:02I will, Mrs. Cross.
00:16:03Of course you will.
00:16:05And I intend to make sure of it.
00:16:15Stay with Ashton and you'll have everything you need.
00:16:19Title.
00:16:20Money.
00:16:22Leave him.
00:16:23Or harm him.
00:16:25Or his company's name.
00:16:26In any way.
00:16:29And not only won't you see a single penny.
00:16:32But I.
00:16:33Will personally.
00:16:34Destroy you.
00:16:38Well that's where you're wrong.
00:16:39Mrs. Cross.
00:16:41I don't want anything from him.
00:16:44I just.
00:16:45Want.
00:16:46Ashton.
00:16:56I think it looks perfect.
00:16:57I think it looks perfect.
00:16:58Don't you think so?
00:17:00Mom.
00:17:07The essence of marriage is love, trust, and honesty.
00:17:12Virtues that we as human beings share.
00:17:15Ashton Cross.
00:17:16Ashton Cross.
00:17:17Do you take this woman to be your wedded wife?
00:17:21I do.
00:17:23Zoe Campbell.
00:17:24Do you take this man to be your wedded husband?
00:17:27To cherish?
00:17:29For better, for worse.
00:17:31For richer, for poorer.
00:17:32Until death do you part.
00:17:35Yes.
00:17:59I do.
00:18:00As a token of your vows, you may exchange your symbol of love.
00:18:17By the power vested in me, by God, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:18:23You may kiss the bride.
00:18:24Uh-oh.
00:18:54I don't like that look.
00:18:55There seems to be a competition going on called
00:18:57Who Can Come Up With The Most Humiliating Article About Zoe Campbell.
00:19:01Zoe Campbell puts a ring on Ashton Cross a week after becoming his assistant.
00:19:06One can only imagine how good Mrs. Campbell is at impressing her boss.
00:19:13Why are you even reading that garbage?
00:19:17I'm just not used to seeing my name trending.
00:19:24Do you see something you like?
00:19:27Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:19:29Fine.
00:19:30I'm going to address your dinner.
00:19:32Uh, uh, I think you're fine.
00:19:34Right where you are.
00:19:35I don't know.
00:19:36I don't know.
00:19:36I don't feel any good.
00:19:37I'm looking for someone else here now.
00:19:51Too drunk.
00:19:52I've never felt like this before, Zoey.
00:20:17Look me in my eyes.
00:20:20Tell me you feel the same way.
00:20:22This marriage is just a piece of paper.
00:20:30It's a contract.
00:20:32Nothing more.
00:20:36Okay.
00:20:40Ashton, what happened to the woman at your work who killed herself?
00:20:48Did you know her?
00:20:49Um, no, not really.
00:20:52Uh, I know that she was nice.
00:20:55I saw her in the office a few times, but that was it.
00:20:57Why are you asking?
00:20:59Nothing.
00:21:00I, um, saw it on the news.
00:21:03Thought I was sad.
00:21:05Just wanted to know what the deal was.
00:21:07Yeah.
00:21:10Don't worry about the articles.
00:21:12I'll have it taken care of.
00:21:13You won't see anything tomorrow.
00:21:17Yeah.
00:21:18Don't mention it.
00:21:20Good night.
00:21:21Well, that's what I did.
00:21:48We're receiving more information about the deadly shooting that took away from people, involving two rival families heavily involved in the bomb.
00:21:56No names have been released yet.
00:21:58Do note that the police are actively searching for suspects at law, including certain members of the well-known Saviano and Mancini family.
00:22:06We'll be sure to update everyone on that story, and we'll see you next time.
00:22:10Back to you, Tom.
00:22:12I really hope it wasn't you.
00:22:34I need to get rid of it all.
00:22:49Alright, well, if I can't meet the guy yet, I'll at least have to tell me something about him.
00:22:53What do you guys do? Do you go dancing?
00:22:55Um, he can't really dance.
00:22:57What do you mean he can't dance? You love dancing.
00:23:00He just doesn't, okay?
00:23:03Zoe!
00:23:07I'm well at the meeting, and I'm taking you to lunch.
00:23:10I wasn't expecting you on so soon.
00:23:12Oh, can a guy take his girl out on a date?
00:23:17Yeah.
00:23:19But, I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:23:28I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:23:32You're a cheeseburger girl, aren't you? Not a lobster girl.
00:23:38What?
00:23:39I'm taking you to lunch, and I never really asked.
00:23:43Do you like cheeseburgers, or do you like lobster?
00:23:45Oh, sounds like we need to get some food in you pretty quick.
00:23:51Don't worry. I already made reservations at Il Floor.
00:23:54They have cheeseburgers and lobster.
00:23:57I...
00:23:58Look, Ashton, um, there's something I have to tell you.
00:24:01Wait.
00:24:03How could I be so stupid?
00:24:05I keep making these reservations, and I never even asked about your feelings.
00:24:09I keep showing you my world, but you haven't even had a chance to show me yours.
00:24:15Forget the reservations.
00:24:16Let's go wherever you want.
00:24:19Um...
00:24:20Okay.
00:24:34Mmm.
00:24:35No, this is food.
00:24:36Is everything okay?
00:24:46Yeah.
00:24:47It's just...
00:24:50I don't do stuff like this often.
00:24:53You wouldn't believe it, but this is my first ever picnic.
00:24:56What? Like, not even as a kid?
00:24:58Between Latin, math, leadership class, we didn't really have time to be kids.
00:25:11Come on.
00:25:12Where are we going?
00:25:13Somewhere where we can be kids again.
00:25:19You want me to do this?
00:25:21Uh-huh.
00:25:22Zoe, I'm a 28-year-old man in an $8,500 suit.
00:25:26I'm not kidding on that.
00:25:28That's crazy.
00:25:30I married someone I knew less than 30 hours.
00:25:32I think I get to decide what's crazy or not.
00:25:36This?
00:25:37Yeah, is this a dog?
00:25:41Is this your first time on a swing?
00:25:43No.
00:25:44Why would you think that?
00:25:45Oh, my God, it is.
00:25:46Okay.
00:25:47Look, you're just going to have to trust me, okay?
00:25:49I'm not going to let you fall.
00:25:50Okay.
00:25:51Don't forget.
00:25:52When I was little, my sister used to push me so high.
00:25:57And I would just focus on the sky.
00:26:00I felt like I was flying.
00:26:03Wow.
00:26:07So, Ashton Cross, what do you think about my world?
00:26:14It's chaotic.
00:26:17But wonderful.
00:26:25Hey, you two!
00:26:27This is clearly not the time or place.
00:26:29Children!
00:26:30God, get a room!
00:26:31You see anything you like?
00:26:45Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:26:50Now, that, I haven't seen before.
00:27:01I love what you've done with the place.
00:27:22None for me.
00:27:24Since when?
00:27:26Since...
00:27:29Holy shit, you're pregnant?
00:27:32Am I going to get to meet the guy before I leave town?
00:27:34It's complicated.
00:27:36He's complicated and everything's happening so fast and I'm scared that something might go wrong.
00:27:42You are happy though, right?
00:27:44I just worry about you living here without me now.
00:27:47Zoe, I'm fine.
00:27:49I mean, I don't know, you're just rushing into this relationship and now motherhood adds so much stress.
00:27:54I'm in a really good place now.
00:27:57I've been doing this new therapy.
00:27:59Yeah, but I mean, you're rushing into a relationship with this guy that is going to be the father of your child and I haven't even met him.
00:28:06Zoe, he loves me.
00:28:10I know he does.
00:28:13He loves me.
00:28:15I know he does.
00:28:18You'd be crazy not to.
00:28:24Audrey?
00:28:27No, Audrey, please!
00:28:29Zoe, are you okay?
00:28:31I am.
00:28:32Zoe.
00:28:34You're screaming.
00:28:35I am.
00:28:36I am.
00:28:37I am.
00:28:38I am.
00:28:39I am.
00:28:40I'm fine.
00:28:41I'm fine.
00:28:43I'm fine.
00:28:45Are you sure?
00:28:46I had a sister.
00:28:47Our parents died when we were young.
00:28:48So, you know?
00:28:49Growing up and...
00:28:50Growing up and I've been...
00:28:54I am.
00:28:55I'm fine.
00:28:56I'm fine.
00:28:57I'm fine.
00:28:58I'm fine.
00:28:59Are you sure?
00:29:01Are you sure?
00:29:07I had a sister.
00:29:11Our parents died when we were young.
00:29:14So, you know, growing up in orphanages and foster homes,
00:29:21you never really feel like anything belongs to you.
00:29:25Snacks and toys.
00:29:27You share everything.
00:29:28And my sister, she, um, she developed this habit
00:29:33that any time she felt like something was, like, hers, truly hers,
00:29:39she would write her initials on it.
00:29:47She was all I had.
00:29:51And now that she's gone, it's just like I don't have anything.
00:29:55I totally understand.
00:29:58My dad was the only person alive who understood me.
00:30:11And after he died,
00:30:13I haven't had a real connection with anyone since.
00:30:17Anything remotely real,
00:30:20Xander would sabotage out of jealousy.
00:30:21Wait here.
00:30:26Wait here.
00:30:43Now you can have something that's actually yours again.
00:30:45You can't blame this all on your brother.
00:30:59You need to learn to control your anger.
00:31:02It's consuming you.
00:31:04If you're not asking, I'm not answering.
00:31:06You know this is the only way.
00:31:08It should be me and you know it.
00:31:10And he had the nerve to offer me an advisor position
00:31:13to the company you took away from me.
00:31:15You think I want to hand the company over to him?
00:31:18You're right, Xander.
00:31:27It should be you.
00:31:29But we have the board and the shareholders to convince.
00:31:32And they're blind.
00:31:32All they see is you in a wheelchair.
00:31:36Fuck the board!
00:31:37Fuck the shareholders!
00:31:37This is what I mean!
00:31:39The rage!
00:31:41You were once committed to getting better.
00:31:44We can't get over what happened.
00:31:48But you have to want it.
00:31:51He doesn't deserve everything.
00:31:53Your father would have wanted you both to be happy.
00:31:57And that's all I want for you.
00:31:59Are you sure you're not coming?
00:32:15Do I want to go to a charity gala
00:32:17that zombie rich people hold
00:32:18just to feel better about buying $3 million mansions
00:32:21and not paying taxes?
00:32:23Hmm.
00:32:24I'm good.
00:32:25Thank you, though.
00:32:26Hey, better watch it.
00:32:28You're married to one of those rich, snobby people now.
00:32:31Come on, Zoe.
00:32:33We'll find some way to have fun.
00:32:42Go.
00:32:43You'll be late.
00:32:46Fine.
00:32:47I'll have a car to pick you up if you change your mind.
00:32:58Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:33:19Audrey.
00:33:20Audrey.
00:33:20Can you get the car ready, please?
00:33:33I am going to the gala.
00:33:36And, um...
00:33:37Don't let Mr. Cross know I'm coming.
00:33:41I want it to be a surprise.
00:33:42Care to grab your brother a drink?
00:33:54Whatever.
00:33:59Wow.
00:34:01So, how's the married life?
00:34:03And how's my sister-in-law?
00:34:05She's good.
00:34:06You know, this isn't really her thing.
00:34:09That's good.
00:34:09You know, I was worried about her.
00:34:12People are going to say what they're going to say, but...
00:34:15She shouldn't let those rumors bother her.
00:34:17Rumors?
00:34:18What are you talking about?
00:34:20I took care of everything.
00:34:21This came out 30 minutes ago.
00:34:23An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and
00:34:30Zoe Campbell, showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:34:35The news confirms suspicions that Zoe is a ploy for Ashton to finally seize the throne
00:34:40of Cross Enterprise.
00:34:41I'm just glad Zoe's not here to take...
00:34:46Wow.
00:34:52Zoe?
00:34:55You told me you barely knew her.
00:35:01What are you talking about?
00:35:02I'm talking about this book.
00:35:04That's Xander's book.
00:35:05Zoe, we have something bigger going on right now.
00:35:07What do you mean it's Xander's book?
00:35:08How could he...
00:35:10Yeah, I can tell you're upset, but look at this.
00:35:15An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and
00:35:20Zoe Campbell, showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:35:23I know that this is a sham marriage, but I'm falling for you, and I want to protect us, protect
00:35:32you.
00:35:33I don't know why, but I believe you.
00:35:37I don't know if you're a psychopath or if everything I thought I knew was wrong.
00:35:43I don't know what's going on with you.
00:35:45I am falling for you, but these people, they're going to eat you alive.
00:35:48Well, I like to think I act fast under pressure.
00:35:55Zoe, wait.
00:36:01Zoe, what are you doing?
00:36:03Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:36:06Um, I'm Zoe Cross.
00:36:08I'm sure you all know my husband, Ashton Cross.
00:36:11Now, I'm aware that many are questioning the authenticity of our marriage, and
00:36:18I'm here to confirm that it's true.
00:36:23Our marriage was a sham.
00:36:27I signed a prenup agreeing to marry Ashton because I thought that it would bring me wealth
00:36:33and fame, but I was wrong.
00:36:37It turned out to be so much more than that.
00:36:40He isn't just this spoiled rich kid, playboy, heartbreaker.
00:36:47Everything people say is just to sell stories.
00:36:53He's actually kinder and stronger and better.
00:37:00And I want him to know that I'm falling for him, too.
00:37:06I want him to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know that I'm going to know
00:37:36I don't know.
00:38:06I can feel you staring at me.
00:38:22I haven't felt like this in a while.
00:38:27I feel like myself.
00:38:31Sometimes, when I look in the mirror, I don't recognize myself.
00:38:37When I see you, I see you.
00:38:43You promise?
00:38:47It crossed my heart.
00:38:53Hey, Chad.
00:39:05Of course.
00:39:07What can I do for you?
00:39:11I know that you are the anonymous source and that you sent the press our marriage contract.
00:39:19I don't want to make a deal.
00:39:21Why would I do something like that?
00:39:23It doesn't matter and I don't care, but for whatever reason you're doing it, you're coming between Ashton and I.
00:39:30You mean your scam of a marriage?
00:39:33It was.
00:39:34But it's real now.
00:39:36I just want you and Ashton to repair this relationship so that we can all be happy.
00:39:42What's your angle here?
00:39:44There's no angle.
00:39:45I just...
00:39:46I'm going through my own trauma and there are a lot of things that I wish I could go back and say differently to my sis...
00:39:54I know you have a history and I know that it's difficult.
00:40:02But it's worth making amends.
00:40:05Does he know I leaked this story to the press?
00:40:08I know.
00:40:09It's been through enough already.
00:40:21Whatever hurt that you've caused each other can be forgiven.
00:40:26What if the things you've done aren't forgivable?
00:40:30The past doesn't matter.
00:40:33Just what you do now matters.
00:40:36You fell for him.
00:40:39I got to know him.
00:40:41Maybe you should too.
00:40:44Maybe.
00:41:00But come you might really be back, huh?
00:41:04I really hope that you and your brother can work things out.
00:41:12I'd like nothing more than to get closer to you, Zoe.
00:41:26It's impossible.
00:41:30this is important Henry I need to know I can trust you on this of course you
00:41:41can't end her but why are you I don't need questions Henry I need answers don't
00:41:48worry I'll have the test results in 24 hours good call me when you have it and
00:41:54remember I was never here I know that you were the anonymous source

00:43:28it won't take long Mrs. Cross
00:43:34I'm in
00:43:50this is sick time Xander I'm a private detective not a sniffer dog
00:44:00this is what a sniffer or
00:44:01comes back no
00:44:02yes Schneeman�� I was talking about when the researcher got termed to catch my
00:44:03school
00:44:04or insurance
00:44:05I'm in this case I'm aware that now does a perfect month
00:44:06I feel like he's in this case I have a lot of私
00:44:23If you're thinking of having one of those, I won't object.
00:44:44You handled the crisis. Wow.
00:44:47I was sure you'd run away with your tail between your legs.
00:44:51But you stayed.
00:44:53But what for?
00:44:57Now I know no one gets close to my sons without wanting something.
00:45:03The question is, what do you want?
00:45:17Voilà.
00:45:21What do you want?
00:45:22You're right, Lauren. I think I did want something from Ashton, but I don't know that I want it now.
00:45:33I recognize that look on your face.
00:45:40It happened to me with Robert, Sander and Ashton's father. I fell in love with a man I hated.
00:45:49It was an arranged marriage and I didn't want to be in it. I got to truly know him. And it changed me.
00:45:59Don't stare at me like that, Zoe. You might think I'm a witch whose heart is made of stone, but I still know what love is.
00:46:11You wanted to see me?
00:46:12Take a seat.
00:46:13Take a seat.
00:46:14Take a seat.
00:46:18What's up?
00:46:19I found something and I think you should see this.
00:46:25She's Audrey's sister. She changed her identity, her face, just to get close to you.
00:46:35Why?
00:46:36Think about it, Ashton. She came into your life out of nowhere, three months after Audrey's death.
00:46:41She lied to you, married you, manipulated you, shared a bed with you.
00:46:45There's only one thing that drives people this far. Revenge. I'm sorry, little brother. Looks like it's time to wake up from this dream.
00:47:06You're just saying that because you want me to help run your precious company.
00:47:10Yes, I was Robert's wife and his company is very important to me. But I'm also a mother.
00:47:21I can see Ashton cares about you more than the others. He has calmed his playboy antics. I can see he's a better person with you.
00:47:35There was one woman before, but she disappeared. Who knows why? She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being across.
00:47:44There was one woman before, but she disappeared. Who knows why? She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being across.
00:47:53Love isn't logical, Zoe. And loving Ashton is probably the most illogical thing you could do. But that doesn't make it wrong.
00:48:02Wait. There was another woman? A serious relationship? What happened to her?
00:48:11Who knows, Zoe? You probably got sick of her like all the other girls. You're here now. She's gone forever. And for some reason, he likes keeping you around.
00:48:23So you're my only hope. Your only hope for what? A family legacy, Zoe. Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:48:36Ashton is the future of this company and this family. Xander's reign ended in that car accident. Everything is working according to plan. At least for Ashton.
00:48:48When? Ashton? You actually believe it? That I caught Audrey? I don't want to. But I see it now. The AC tattoo. The high profile lover.
00:49:16The pregnancy. It has to be you. There's no other explanation.
00:49:28Wait. Audrey was pregnant?
00:49:32You didn't know, did you?
00:49:33When you pushed her off the balcony? I never slept with Audrey. She was with someone else.
00:49:48Stop lying to me. You've been lying to me!
00:49:51I wanted to tell you. But how do you tell someone that you completely changed what you looked like to avenge your sister's death?
00:50:00You made me fall in love with you. And I fell in love with the man who murdered my Audrey.
00:50:09I didn't kill her, Zoe. I swear. It crossed my heart.
00:50:30I really wish that it wasn't you. Would you believe me if I said I really did love you?
00:50:45Neither would I.
00:50:46Neither would I.
00:50:52Neither would I.
00:50:53Neither would I.
00:50:54Neither would I.
00:50:59Neither would I be if I were to cry enough.
00:51:11I would see you soon.
00:51:14I would see you soon.
00:51:48Paternity test results.
00:52:19Xander, now's not a good time.
00:52:22Now is the perfect time.
00:52:24I know where Zoe is.
00:52:25I'll send you the address, but you better hurry if you want to say goodbye.
00:52:31What are you talking about?
00:52:33Everyone has their tipping point, Ash.
00:52:36All I need to do is give her one tiny push.
00:52:42Xander, if you hurt her, I'll kill you.
00:52:47You've already done that, Ash.
00:52:49Two years ago.
00:52:53Xander.
00:52:54Xander.
00:52:55Xander.
00:53:02Paternity test results.
00:53:09A family legacy, Zoe.
00:53:13AC.
00:53:14Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:53:17Xander calls.
00:53:18Xander calls.
00:53:25Xander calls.
00:53:34He can't really dance.
00:53:46What do you mean he can't dance?
00:53:47He love dancing.
00:53:48He just doesn't, okay?
00:53:53Audrey betrayed me.
00:53:56What are you doing here?
00:53:57And so did Ashton.
00:54:00I guess some curses do run in the family.
00:54:04Get inside.
00:54:05I love you, Xander.
00:54:09I love you, Audrey.
00:54:12You're mine.
00:54:13Now and forever.
00:54:15Come on, help me out.
00:54:17Let me put this necklace on my future wife.
00:54:23Turn around.
00:54:24Turn around.
00:54:24Xander, what are you doing?
00:54:39I never told you.
00:54:41Because I was ashamed.
00:54:43I can't have kids.
00:54:46You want to fool me into being your crippled rich husband?
00:54:49Xander, please.
00:54:50I have proof.
00:54:52It's your baby.
00:54:54Our baby.
00:54:58Get inside.
00:55:05Get inside.
00:55:06Happy birthday.
00:55:26Oh, Xander.
00:55:29Wow.
00:55:31This is an amazing gift.
00:55:34But I was hoping that maybe I could ask for something else.
00:55:39Anything.
00:55:41Well, I was thinking that maybe it was time that we take our relationship public.
00:55:47So that we don't have to keep this a secret.
00:55:55You're pregnant.
00:55:56We're going to have the baby.
00:56:01I never thought I'd come to this.
00:56:04But you're happy, right?
00:56:07Of course.
00:56:09I'm so happy.
00:56:12Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.
00:56:15I don't know about you, but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
00:56:19One more step and she's dead.
00:56:22It's not her fault what happened.
00:56:23It's mine.
00:56:24Don't worry about it.
00:56:25You're going to get yours.
00:56:26I'm going to have my payback.
00:56:28I'm going to take back everything you took from me.
00:56:31My job, my title, my reputation.
00:56:35But in order to do that, I got to make sure you never get in my way again.
00:56:39You see two sisters dying in the same apartment.
00:56:46That's going to lead to suspicion.
00:56:48But if I can connect...
00:56:49Have you lost your mind?
00:56:50Let me fucking finish.
00:56:51If I can connect him to the same men...
00:56:59You killed Audrey?
00:57:00You killed Audrey?
00:57:04You killed Audrey?
00:57:06You did.
00:57:08Soon the B.C.U.O. turns out to be a maniac.
00:57:12Brutally killing his mistress and his wife.
00:57:15After he kills her, he turns himself in.
00:57:19Or puts the gun to his own head.
00:57:21I don't care.
00:57:22You choose, little brother.
00:57:24You can't get away with it.
00:57:26Of course I will.
00:57:28All I got to do is convince the shareholders.
00:57:31You'd be surprised how quickly a bunch of lies can turn into the truth.
00:57:36But enough of that.
00:57:37We don't have all night.
00:57:38Ladies first.
00:57:45Xander, you don't have to do this.
00:57:47Shut the fuck up.
00:57:49Just shut the fuck up.
00:57:51Please.
00:57:52You're too late, little brother.
00:57:54Two years too late.
00:57:56You chose this.
00:57:58You could have lived your life with someone who truly loved you, but instead you murdered her.
00:58:01She never loved me.
00:58:02She had an AC tattoo.
00:58:04She loved you so much that she marked herself as yours.
00:58:07She betrayed me with another man!
00:58:10Did you not see the paternity test?
00:58:15It's all right here.
00:58:16If you kill me now, the police will come and they'll find me, and they'll link me to Audrey,
00:58:25and they'll know that you murdered her while she was pregnant with your baby.
00:58:29You're fucking lying.
00:58:30You should have trusted Audrey.
00:58:33But you were so blinded by your jealousy and your anger that you killed someone who truly loved you.
00:58:40You're a liar, Zoe Campbell.
00:58:59And you're dead.
00:59:04Audrey Hale, mother, 99.9% match with Alexandra Cross, father.
00:59:19Oh, Jesus.
00:59:20What have I done?
00:59:23What have I done?
00:59:24I'm so sorry, Audrey.
00:59:28So that we don't have to keep this a secret.
00:59:34You're pregnant.
00:59:36Yeah.
00:59:37We're gonna have a baby.
00:59:40I'm so sorry.
00:59:43No, no, no!
00:59:45No!
00:59:45No!

00:59:54No!
00:59:54No!
00:59:56No!
01:00:12Ready?
01:00:14Ready as I'll ever be.
