00:00:00Zoe Campbell, will you marry me?
00:00:03Yes, it's St. Kross.
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.
00:00:28I've changed my face.
00:00:30I've come so far.
00:00:33I'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.
00:00:47Hi, I'm Zoe Campbell.
00:01:06I'm here for my interview.
00:01:07Take a seat.
00:01:12We'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.
00:01:31That won't take long.
00:01:32This 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.
00:01:42Come on.
00:01:43The boys 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.
00:01:57I 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.
00:02:14Um, thank you.
00:02:16Who did her hair?
00:02:17Do you think she even combed it?
00:02:18I was mourning.
00:02:19No.
00:02:19She did not comb it.
00:02:20It's called a rat's nest.
00:02:22Oh, yes.
00:02:26This is bullshit.
00:02:27It can help redeem your image.
00:02:30It'll show the public that you've stopped screwing around.
00:02:33Started acting like a crono.
00:02:34I never wanted to be CEO.
00:02:36You know very well why it cannot be the same.
00:02:41What do I have to remind you?
00:02:45No.
00:02:53You're the heir to the Cross family, Ashton.
00:02:55This is the hand you've been dealt with.
00:02:59Play it well.
00:02:59This company is your father's life's work.
00:03:04I'm so sorry for interrupting, but Jeff said he needed your signature in three minutes,
00:03:10or we wouldn't be able to close the contract with Gabe from K&L, and he'd be really, really unhappy.
00:03:17Who are you?
00:03:17Pam from Marketing Strategies.
00:03:21Mrs. Cross, it's a pleasure to meet you.
00:03:23Thank you, Pam.
00:03:24Well, obviously, Pam and I have a lot of work to do.
00:03:29We'll talk about this another time.
00:03:31You're not off the hook, Ashton.
00:03:33I've gone through great lengths to set you up with some very worthy candidates.
00:03:38Remember, you have two weeks, and I want to see a ring.
00:03:45We're so sorry, Mr. Cross.
00:03:47We didn't mean to let this woman disturb you.
00:03:49Yeah, we're really sorry.
00:03:51We'll escort her out right away.
00:03:52Did I say I wanted her out?
00:03:55She's fine.
00:03:56She can stay.
00:03:57Go back to work.
00:03:57Now, go back to work.
00:04:02Okay.
00:04:09Zoe Campbell.
00:04:11Why did you just burst in here like that?
00:04:13I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but it sounded like you could use an escape from that conversation.
00:04:18And you came up with that whole story on the spot, just like that.
00:04:21Act fast under pressure.
00:04:27You're hired.
00:04:30Okay.
00:04:31Your first day starts right now.
00:04:34Didn't expect it to be so easy, but yes, I guess it all starts right now.
00:04:43I never said I was selling.
00:04:46Xander, wouldn't it make more sense if you didn't live in a penthouse?
00:04:51You'd also be closer to your PT, which Mother says is progressing.
00:04:55I wouldn't call taking five steps with a walker progressing.
00:05:00I should probably leave.
00:05:02Stay.
00:05:04I see my little brother has yet another young lady in his life.
00:05:07This is my new assistant.
00:05:09Her name is Zoe.
00:05:11I shall enjoy getting to know your acquaintance, Zoe.
00:05:14At least these next few months.
00:05:16Xander.
00:05:16I can fend for myself.
00:05:20What happened to you?
00:05:21Car accident.
00:05:22Our father died.
00:05:24Cross Kingdom shattered overnight.
00:05:27What the press forgot to mention.
00:05:29You were there in the accident.
00:05:33Can we discuss the apartment?
00:05:35This meeting has completely been derailed.
00:05:39Zoe, perhaps it's best if Xander and I continue alone.
00:05:41Wait, Zoe.
00:05:49That's what I'm telling you now.
00:05:52If he doesn't bend you over one way, he'll break you with another.
00:05:58Really, Xander?
00:05:59Thank you for your concern.
00:06:01But the last thing you need to worry about is me falling for your brother.
00:06:04I assure you, you should be more afraid of me.
00:06:10Interesting.
00:06:11Xander, please.
00:06:12I'm only trying to help you.
00:06:18I don't know about you, but I could use a drink.
00:06:20I guess you could say that my relationship with my brother is improving.
00:06:33I mean, at least you're willing to work on it.
00:06:35I know my brother, and I know he's charming.
00:06:38Most of those women were in your position.
00:06:41Maybe Xander secretly wants to be close to you.
00:06:44Yeah.
00:06:44We don't have to talk about my brother or business.
00:06:48What should we talk about?
00:06:51We don't have to talk about my brother or business.
00:06:55What should we talk about?
00:06:57You tricked my mother and stood your own against Xander on the same day.
00:07:02That makes me a little curious.
00:07:06You know, they say curiosity is a dangerous thing.
00:07:10I'm not just another assistant you're going to go home with.
00:07:13I've had a lovely evening, though.
00:07:17And I'll see you tomorrow.
00:07:18I'll see you tomorrow.
00:07:43Curiosity isn't enough.
00:08:05I need his trust.
00:08:06I've changed my face.
00:08:09I've come so far.
00:08:11There's no turning back.
00:08:13I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:08:15And I'll make him pay.
00:08:18I promise.
00:08:19I can't believe she left with Ashton last night.
00:08:25You know what they say.
00:08:26You sleep with the right person.
00:08:28You get the right job.
00:08:30Oh, my God.
00:08:31You spilled coffee everywhere.
00:08:32That was so embarrassing.
00:08:47Excuse me, ladies.
00:08:48I'm afraid I need to confiscate your key cards and escort you out.
00:08:52Wait, what?
00:08:53Why?
00:08:53It was a direct order from Mr. Cross.
00:08:55He fired us?
00:08:57I mean, he can't do that.
00:08:58I believe he can.
00:09:01Now, are you packing yourself?
00:09:03Or do you need a hand?
00:09:07You messed up the wrong person.
00:09:14You lose your job.
00:09:28Zoe, get in.
00:09:31You're coming with me.
00:09:33Look, Mr. Cross, I appreciate what you did, but I can't be seen going home with you every
00:09:38night.
00:09:39It's unprofessional.
00:09:40Zoe, you're my assistant now.
00:09:42You're going to work when I need you to work.
00:09:44Or I can save us both the trouble and fire you right now.
00:09:4926 hours.
00:09:49That would be a record even for me.
00:09:51Can I at least ask where we're going?
00:10:00On a date.
00:10:01What?
00:10:04Can I at least ask where we're going?
00:10:07On a date.
00:10:09What?
00:10:11Mr. Cross, I can't do this.
00:10:14Black Zoe, this isn't for you.
00:10:16This is for me.
00:10:18And a friend.
00:10:18You brought me on a date with another woman.
00:10:22Technically, three other women.
00:10:25Why would you do that?
00:10:27I trust your judgment.
00:10:28Tell me which one of these girls I should marry.
00:10:33I just love yachts.
00:10:36You know, you sail out from L.A. and the entire Atlantic Ocean is yours.
00:10:41The Pacific Ocean.
00:10:44What?
00:10:46Never mind, though.
00:10:47I actually don't own the yacht.
00:10:50But you're rich.
00:10:52I'm sorry.
00:10:53This is a deal breaker.
00:10:55Maybe you should just go for your assistant.
00:10:57She's a little maintenance.
00:11:01Okay.
00:11:01Babies, I mean, they're just so small.
00:11:05They're scrungy and they look old, like old people, but they're little and they're babies
00:11:09and they don't know how to talk to you.
00:11:11And so they start screaming and they start crying and then they poop and it goes everywhere
00:11:15and they throw up.
00:11:16And like, honestly, it's the grossest thing I've ever experienced in my entire life.
00:11:20And not even that I experience babies because I've never been around babies.
00:11:23Other than the fact that I used to be a baby, I just, I do not like babies, like at all.
00:11:28I think children are one of the most amazing gifts of life.
00:11:31And you are so funny, Ashton.
00:11:34I mean, the reality is just that babies would also get in the way of my social life.
00:11:38And I have very high standards for, like, living.
00:11:43And so...
00:11:44Don't you think that's kind of selfish?
00:11:48I'm being a realist.
00:11:50And you're joking, right?
00:11:52A man with your Playboy reputation?
00:11:55You're honestly telling me that you want to settle down and have children.
00:12:03You are so funny.
00:12:05You are so funny.
00:12:08My mother said that you study literature.
00:12:11Have you, uh, read Fitzgerald?
00:12:13Who?
00:12:15Oh, no, I didn't go to school.
00:12:17Did I go to school with him?
00:12:18I don't think I went to school with him.
00:12:19No, no, no.
00:12:21Uh, Fitzgerald.
00:12:22The Great Gatsby.
00:12:23I love Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:12:27I love him.
00:12:28I was at a party, and he was, like, so hitting on me.
00:12:31It was so crazy.
00:12:32He was so short.
00:12:33It was so weird.
00:12:34Everything's been taken care of.
00:12:35Have a great night, alright?
00:12:36Oh, you paid for it?
00:12:37Yeah.
00:12:37Oh, really?
00:12:38Oh, thank you.
00:12:38So, wait, let's go?
00:12:39Yeah.
00:12:39Where are we going?
00:12:40Um, I have another date.
00:12:43Can you order another way, like, on your way out?
00:12:45Absolutely.
00:12:46Okay.
00:12:47Tell your mom I said hi.
00:12:49I miss her.
00:12:49Yes, we'll do.
00:12:50Okay.
00:12:56Absolutely.
00:12:58Cheers.
00:13:02So, um, Fitzgerald, you want kids?
00:13:06I have to say, I did not expect that.
00:13:09Let me guess.
00:13:10You thought I was some playboy who didn't care about anything, just like everybody else.
00:13:15The truth is, when people misunderstand you, and enough misunderstand you, you slowly forget
00:13:24who you are, too.
00:13:28This place is amazing.
00:13:30Xander and I designed this place.
00:13:35Wow.
00:13:36You were close.
00:13:39Yeah.
00:13:40Until we weren't.
00:13:44Do you have any siblings?
00:13:46No.
00:13:47Um, it's just me.
00:13:50You know, two years ago, it was actually me who was supposed to be on that flight to Zurich
00:13:57with my father.
00:13:59Not Xander.
00:14:01Sometimes I wish it was me.
00:14:07It was late at night.
00:14:08The car was headed to the airport.
00:14:15But I didn't show up.
00:14:19Xander was the heir.
00:14:23He was raised to take over the company.
00:14:25But I ruined him.
00:14:30You didn't ruin him.
00:14:32No one's meant to be one thing.
00:14:33I mean, we all have a choice.
00:14:37Not in my world, Zoe.
00:14:40You saw for yourself.
00:14:42I can't even get married when I'd like.
00:14:44Well, maybe not win, but you get to choose who.
00:14:48That's the most important part.
00:14:52No.
00:14:55What if I chose you?
00:15:06What if I chose you?
00:15:10What?
00:15:13You heard me.
00:15:16What?
00:15:19Zoe Gamble?
00:15:22Will you marry me?
00:15:25This is the joke.
00:15:27You're joking.
00:15:29I've never been more serious.
00:15:33Listen, Eshin, you may be used to getting whatever you want whenever you wanted.
00:15:37I don't want to marry you out of convenience.
00:15:40Zoe.
00:15:42Women see me as a golden ticket to money and fame.
00:15:46My father's passed away.
00:15:47Xander sees me as competition and my mother sees me as a pawn to save the family business.
00:15:53But you, Zoe, you actually see me for who I really am.
00:15:56That was good.
00:16:01You should have used that with some of your blind dates.
00:16:06I have to get married or I'm crossed off the trust fund.
00:16:10Negotiate your price.
00:16:12I'll have it put together.
00:16:14I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:16:16And I'll make him pay.
00:16:17How do I look?
00:16:33The city's most eligible bachelor is off the market.
00:16:37My mom gets what she wants.
00:16:39Her most able-bodied son.
00:16:41Takes the throne and keeps his trust fund.
00:16:44And today's your big day.
00:16:45I'll see you out there.
00:16:59Mrs. Cross.
00:17:03What a lovely bride you are.
00:17:06Ashton is a very lucky man.
00:17:12But you can cut the act with me, sweetheart.
00:17:14I know you and Ashton aren't really together.
00:17:19Well, if you really believe that, then why didn't you do something?
00:17:23I wanted to at first.
00:17:25But then I realized...
00:17:27You're actually perfect.
00:17:30Why didn't you do something?
00:17:32I wanted to at first.
00:17:34But then I realized...
00:17:37You're actually perfect.
00:17:39A working-class girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
00:17:44Pretty.
00:17:45But not too gorgeous.
00:17:49Sweet.
00:17:51But not too innocent.
00:17:54You're a real-life Cinderella.
00:17:56And the people love seeing a fairy tale come true.
00:18:00How do you know this will work?
00:18:04Because.
00:18:06It worked for Robert and me.
00:18:10My husband built this empire.
00:18:12But he wouldn't have been able to rule it without me.
00:18:16And now it's your turn.
00:18:18To stand next to Ashton on the throne.
00:18:21Support him.
00:18:23Help him.
00:18:24And play your part.
00:18:29I will, Mrs. Cross.
00:18:31Of course you will.
00:18:33I intend to make sure of it.
00:18:43Stay with Ashton and you'll have everything you need.
00:18:47Title.
00:18:47Money.
00:18:49Leave him.
00:18:51Or harm him.
00:18:52Or his company's name.
00:18:53In any way.
00:18:56And not only won't you see a single penny.
00:18:59But I.
00:19:01Will personally.
00:19:02Destroy you.
00:19:05Well that's where you're wrong.
00:19:07Mrs. Cross.
00:19:08I don't want anything from him.
00:19:12I just.
00:19:13Want.
00:19:14Ashton.
00:19:22I think it looks perfect.
00:19:26Don't you think so?
00:19:28Mom.
00:19:34The essence of marriage is love, trust, and honesty.
00:19:40Virtues that we as human beings share.
00:19:42Ashton Cross.
00:19:45Do you take this woman to be your wedded wife?
00:19:48I do.
00:19:50Zoe Campbell.
00:19:52Do you take this man to be your wedded husband?
00:19:55To cherish?
00:19:57For better, for worse.
00:19:59For richer, for poorer.
00:20:01Until death do you part?
00:20:03Yes.
00:20:27I do.
00:20:28As a token of your vows, you may exchange your symbol of love.
00:20:44By the power vested in me, by God, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:20:51You may kiss the bride.
00:20:52Uh-oh.
00:21:22I don't like that look.
00:21:23There seems to be a competition going on called
00:21:25Who Can Come Up With The Most Humiliating Article About Zoe Campbell.
00:21:29Zoe Campbell puts a ring on Ashton Cross a week after becoming his assistant.
00:21:33One can only imagine how good Mrs. Campbell is at impressing her boss.
00:21:40Why are you even reading that garbage?
00:21:44I'm just not used to seeing my name trending.
00:21:52Do you see something you like?
00:21:55Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:21:57Fine.
00:21:58I'll meet you for dinner.
00:21:59Uh, uh, I think you're fine.
00:22:02Right where you are.
00:22:03How will you say?
00:22:05De�ar Your Hazard
00:22:06You see what I'm saying?
00:22:07Oh my God.
00:22:12I don't have seen him tell him, but I know how it is.
00:22:15Yes, I don't have seven days.
00:22:16I know what you are doing.
00:22:17You're supposed to see her day in there.
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:20I'm proud of.
00:22:21I have a couple days.
00:22:22Yeah.
00:22:23I live there today.
00:22:24Okay.
00:22:25Yeah.
00:22:25I'm proud of my contexto.
00:22:27I've never felt like this before Zoey. Look me in my eyes. Tell me you feel the same way.
00:22:53This marriage is just a piece of paper.
00:22:57That's a contract. Nothing more.
00:23:03Okay.
00:23:07Ashton, what happened to the woman at your work who killed herself? Did you know her?
00:23:17Um, no, not really. I know that she was nice. I saw her in the office a few times, but that was it. Why are you asking?
00:23:25Nothing. I, um, saw it on the news. Thought I was sad. Just wanted to know what the deal was.
00:23:33Yeah. Don't worry about the articles. I'll have it taken care of. You won't see anything tomorrow.
00:23:41Thank you. Yeah. Don't mention it. Good night.
00:23:49Good night.
00:23:51Good night.
00:23:55Good night.
00:23:57Good night.
00:24:01Good night.
00:24:03Good night.
00:24:05Good night.
00:24:07Good night.
00:24:09Good night.
00:24:15Good night.
00:24:17Good night.
00:24:19We'll be sure to update everyone on that story, as he tells you, back to you, Tom.
00:24:49I really hope it wasn't you.
00:25:09I need to get rid of it all.
00:25:11All right, well, if I can't meet the guy yet, I at least have to tell me something about him.
00:25:22What do you guys do?
00:25:23Do you go dancing?
00:25:24Um, he can't really dance.
00:25:26What do you mean he can't dance?
00:25:27You love dancing.
00:25:28He just doesn't, okay?
00:25:29Hey.
00:25:31Zoe!
00:25:35I'm holding on to the meeting, and I'm taking you to lunch.
00:25:38I wasn't expecting you on so soon.
00:25:40Oh, can a guy take his girl out on a date?
00:25:45Yeah.
00:25:45But, I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:25:56I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:25:58You're a cheeseburger girl, aren't you?
00:26:05Not a lobster girl.
00:26:07What?
00:26:07I'm taking you to lunch.
00:26:09And, I never really asked.
00:26:11Do you like cheeseburgers or do you like lobster?
00:26:13Oh, I don't know.
00:26:16Oh, uh, sounds like we need to get some food in you pretty quick.
00:26:20Don't worry.
00:26:21I already made reservations at Il Floor.
00:26:23They have cheeseburgers and lobster.
00:26:26I, look, Ashton, um, there's something I have to tell you.
00:26:30Wait.
00:26:31How can I be so stupid?
00:26:33I keep making these reservations, and I never even asked about your feelings.
00:26:38I keep showing you my world, but you haven't even had a chance to show me yours.
00:26:43Forget the reservations.
00:26:44Let's go wherever you want.
00:26:46Um, okay.
00:27:02Mmm.
00:27:04Now this is food.
00:27:05Mmm.
00:27:13Is everything okay?
00:27:15Yeah.
00:27:15It's just, I don't do stuff like this often.
00:27:21You wouldn't believe it, but this is my first ever picnic.
00:27:24What?
00:27:25Like, not even as a kid?
00:27:26Between Latin, math, leadership class, we didn't really have time to be kids.
00:27:32Come on.
00:27:39Where are we going?
00:27:41Somewhere where we can be kids again.
00:27:42You want me to do this?
00:27:43I'm a 28-year-old man in an $8,500 suit.
00:27:54I'm not kidding on that.
00:27:56That's crazy.
00:27:57I married someone I knew less than 30 hours.
00:28:00I think I get to decide what's crazy or not.
00:28:01I think I get to decide what's crazy or not.
00:28:02What's that?
00:28:03Oh.
00:28:04This?
00:28:05Yes.
00:28:06Sit down.
00:28:07Is this your first time on a swing?
00:28:11No.
00:28:12No.
00:28:13Why would you think that?
00:28:14Oh my god.
00:28:15It is.
00:28:16Okay.
00:28:17Look.
00:28:18You're just going to have to trust me, okay?
00:28:19I'm not going to let you fall.
00:28:20When I was little, my sister used to push me so high, and I would just focus on the sky.
00:28:29I felt like I was flying.
00:28:31Wow.
00:28:36So, Ashton Cross, what do you think about my world?
00:28:43It's chaotic, but wonderful.
00:28:50Hey, you two!
00:28:54This is clearly not the time or place.
00:28:57Children!
00:28:58God, get a room!
00:29:11You see anything you like?
00:29:13Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:29:15Now, that, I haven't seen before.
00:29:21I love what you've done with the place.
00:29:49None for me.
00:29:52Since when?
00:29:54Since...
00:29:56Holy shit, you're pregnant?
00:29:59Am I going to get to meet the guy before I leave town?
00:30:02It's complicated.
00:30:03He's complicated, and everything's happening so fast, and I'm scared that something might go wrong.
00:30:09You are happy though, right?
00:30:11I just worry about you living here without me now.
00:30:15Zoe, I'm fine.
00:30:17I mean, I don't know.
00:30:18You're just rushing into this relationship, and now motherhood adds so much stress.
00:30:22I'm in a really good place now.
00:30:24I've been doing this new therapy.
00:30:26Yeah, 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.
00:30:33Zoe, he loves me.
00:30:38I know he does.
00:30:42He loves me.
00:30:43I know he does.
00:30:46You'd be crazy not to.
00:31:01Audrey?
00:31:08No, Audrey, please!
00:31:10Zoe, are you okay?
00:31:13Zoe!
00:31:15You're screaming!
00:31:16I am.
00:31:19I am.
00:31:20I'm fine.
00:31:21I'm fine.
00:31:28I'm fine.
00:31:29Are you sure?
00:31:36I had a sister.
00:31:40Our parents died when we were young, so, you know, growing up in orphanages and foster homes, you never really feel like anything belongs to you.
00:31:53Snacks and toys, you share everything.
00:31:57And my sister, she, um, she developed this habit that anytime she felt like something was, like, hers, truly hers, she would, um, write her initials on it.
00:32:15She was all I had.
00:32:20And now that she's gone, I just feel like I don't have anything.
00:32:23And I totally understand.
00:32:35My dad was the only person alive who understood me.
00:32:39And after he died,
00:32:42I haven't had a real connection with anyone since.
00:32:46Anything remotely real, Xander would sabotage out of jealousy.
00:32:50Wait here.
00:32:54Wait here.
00:33:11Now you can have something that's actually yours again.
00:33:13You can't blame this all on your brother.
00:33:27You need to learn to control your anger.
00:33:30It's consuming you.
00:33:32If you're not asking, I'm not answering.
00:33:34You know this is the only way.
00:33:35It should be me and you know it.
00:33:38And he had the nerve to offer me an advisor position to the company you took away from me.
00:33:44You think I want to hand the company over to him?
00:33:54You're right, Xander. It should be you.
00:33:55But we have the board and the shareholders to convince.
00:34:00And they're blind.
00:34:02All they see is you in a wheelchair.
00:34:04Fuck the board! Fuck the shareholders!
00:34:06This is what I mean!
00:34:08The rage!
00:34:10You were once committed to getting better.
00:34:13We can get over what happened.
00:34:15But you have to want it.
00:34:19He doesn't deserve everything.
00:34:21Your father would have wanted you both to be happy.
00:34:24And that's all I want for you.
00:34:26Are you sure you're not coming?
00:34:42Do I want to go to a charity gala that zombie rich people hold just to feel better about buying three million dollar mansions and not paying taxes?
00:34:51I'm good. Thank you though.
00:34:54Hey, you better watch it.
00:34:57You're married to one of those rich snobby people now.
00:35:00Come on, Zoe.
00:35:02We'll find some way to have fun.
00:35:10Go.
00:35:12You'll be late.
00:35:14Fine.
00:35:15I'll have a car to pick you up if you change your mind.
00:35:24Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:35:47Audrey.
00:35:48Audrey.
00:35:59Can you get the car ready, please?
00:36:02I am going to the gala.
00:36:04And, um...
00:36:06Don't let Mr. Cross know I'm coming.
00:36:09I want it to be a surprise.
00:36:16Care to grab your brother a drink?
00:36:18I love you.
00:36:19I love you.
00:36:21I love you.
00:36:27Bye.
00:36:29So, how's the married life?
00:36:31And how's my sister-in-law?
00:36:32She's good.
00:36:34You know, this isn't really her thing.
00:36:36That's good.
00:36:38You know, I was worried about her.
00:36:40People are going to say what they're going to say, but...
00:36:43She shouldn't let those rumors bother her.
00:36:45Rumors?
00:36:47What are you talking about?
00:36:49I took care of everything.
00:36:50This came out 30 minutes ago.
00:36:54An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell.
00:37:00Showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:37:03The news confirms suspicions that Zoe is a ploy for Ashton to finally seize the throne of Cross Enterprise.
00:37:13I'm just glad Zoe's not here to take the blow.
00:37:20Zoe?
00:37:28You told me you barely knew her.
00:37:30What are you talking about?
00:37:31I'm talking about this book.
00:37:32That's Xander's book.
00:37:33Zoe, we've got something bigger going on right now.
00:37:35What do you mean it's Xander's book?
00:37:37How could he...
00:37:39Yeah, I can tell you're upset, but...
00:37:41Look at this.
00:37:44An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell.
00:37:49Showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:37:52I know that this is a sham marriage.
00:37:54But I'm falling for you.
00:37:56And I want to protect us.
00:37:59Protect you.
00:38:01I don't know why would I believe you.
00:38:04I don't know if you're a psychopath or...
00:38:08If everything I thought I knew was wrong.
00:38:11I don't know what's going on with you.
00:38:14I am falling for you, but these people, they're going to eat you alive.
00:38:17Well...
00:38:19I like to think I act fast under pressure.
00:38:24Zoe, wait!
00:38:30Zoe, what are you doing?
00:38:31Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:38:35I'm Zoe Cross.
00:38:36I'm sure you all know my husband, Ashton Cross.
00:38:39Now, I'm aware that many are questioning the authenticity of our marriage.
00:38:45And I'm here to confirm that it's true.
00:38:51Our marriage was a sham.
00:38:55I signed a prenup agreeing to marry Ashton because I thought that it would bring me wealth and fame.
00:39:02But I was wrong.
00:39:05It turned out to be so much more than that.
00:39:09He isn't just this spoiled rich kid, playboy, heartbreaker.
00:39:15Everything people say is just to sell stories.
00:39:21He's actually kinder and stronger and better.
00:39:28And I want him to know that I'm falling for him, too.
00:39:34And I'm waiting for him, too.
00:40:04I'll be right back.
00:40:05I was trying to think...
00:40:06I'm sorry, I was trying to think of this how I was going to be wrong.
00:40:07James, I'm running out of time.
00:40:09Keep going on, well, I'm going to go out of my cupboard.
00:40:11Because...
00:40:14I kept paying attention for the toilet.
00:40:17And I was going to see what that is.
00:40:20Here you go.
00:40:24Let's go.
00:40:26I can feel you staring at me.
00:40:51I haven't felt like this in a while.
00:40:53I feel like myself.
00:40:59Sometimes, when I look in the mirror, I don't recognize myself.
00:41:05When I see you, I see you.
00:41:12You promise?
00:41:15Cross my heart.
00:41:20Hey, Chad.
00:41:34Of course.
00:41:36What can I do for you?
00:41:40I know that you are the anonymous source and that you sent the press our marriage contract.
00:41:46I don't want to make a deal.
00:41:48Why would I do something like that?
00:41:51It doesn't matter, and I don't care, but for whatever reason you're doing it, you're coming between Ashton and I.
00:41:58You mean your scam of a marriage?
00:42:01It was, but it's real now.
00:42:04I just want you and Ashton to repair this relationship so that we can all be happy.
00:42:10What's your angle here?
00:42:12There's no angle.
00:42:13I just...
00:42:14I'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...
00:42:22I know you have a history, and I know that it's difficult.
00:42:30But it's worth making amends.
00:42:33Does he know I leaked this story to the press?
00:42:36I don't know.
00:42:37He's been through enough already.
00:42:39Alright.
00:42:50Whatever hurt that you've caused each other can be forgiven.
00:42:55What if the things you've done aren't forgivable?
00:43:00The past doesn't matter.
00:43:02Just what you do now matters.
00:43:06You fell for him.
00:43:08I got to know him.
00:43:11Maybe you should too.
00:43:16Maybe.
00:43:32I really hope that you and your brother can work things out.
00:43:38I'd like nothing more than to get closer to you, Zoe.
00:43:42This is impossible.
00:43:46This is important, Henry.
00:43:47I need to know I can trust you on this.
00:43:52Of course you can, Zander, but why are you...
00:43:53I don't need questions, Henry.
00:43:54I need answers.
00:43:55Don't worry.
00:43:56I'll have the test results in 24 hours.
00:43:57Good.
00:43:58Call me when you have it.
00:43:59Good.
00:44:00Call me when you have it.
00:44:01And remember.
00:44:02I was never here.
00:44:03I was never here.
00:44:04I was never here.
00:44:05I was never here.
00:44:06I was never here.
00:44:07I was never here.
00:44:08Hey.
00:44:09Hey.
00:44:10I was never here.
00:44:11I can't do the best.
00:44:12come on, Zoe.
00:44:13Hey, go.
00:44:14Hey, go.
00:44:15Come on, Zoe.
00:44:17Get out of here.
00:44:19Hey, go.
00:44:20Hey, go.
00:44:21How are you?
00:44:22You are.
00:44:23I was never here.
00:44:49I know that you are the anonymous source.
00:44:54Hey, I have the test results.
00:44:59It's a perfect match.
00:45:01So they're related.
00:45:03It's more than that, Xander. I said, perfect match.
00:45:06The two DNA samples are identical.
00:45:09I feel like I know you from somewhere.
00:45:12Maybe another life.
00:45:18They're twins.
00:45:20They're twins.
00:45:21They're twins.
00:45:22They're twins.
00:45:23They're twins.
00:45:26They're twins.
00:45:27They're twins.
00:45:28They're twins.
00:45:29They're twins.
00:45:32They're twins.
00:45:33They're twins.
00:45:34They're twins.
00:45:35They're twins.
00:45:36They're twins.
00:45:37They're twins.
00:45:38They're twins.
00:45:43They're twins.
00:45:44Good morning, Mrs. Cross. Is it about time?
00:45:47For cleaning?
00:45:49Yes, Mrs. Cross. I come every Monday. I can always come back.
00:45:53No, come in. I'll just go get a coffee.
00:46:00It won't take long, Mrs. Cross.
00:46:14I'm in.
00:46:23This is stick time, Zender. I'm a private detective, not a sneifer dog.
00:46:44Oh, Jackpot.
00:47:06If you're thinking of having one of those, I won't object.
00:47:08You handled the crisis. Wow.
00:47:15I was sure you'd run away with your tail between your legs.
00:47:19But you stayed.
00:47:22But what for?
00:47:26Now I know no one gets close to my sons without wanting something.
00:47:31The question is, what do you want?
00:47:38What do you want?
00:47:54You're right, Lauren. I think I did want something from Ashton, but...
00:47:59I don't know that I want it now.
00:48:04I recognize that look on your face.
00:48:07It happened to me with Robert, Sander and Ashton's father.
00:48:14I fell in love with a man I hated.
00:48:19It was an arranged marriage, and I didn't want to be in it.
00:48:23I got to truly know him.
00:48:26And it changed me.
00:48:31Don't stare at me like that, Zoe.
00:48:33You might think I'm a witch whose heart is made of stone.
00:48:37But I still know what love is.
00:48:46You wanted to see me?
00:48:48Take a seat.
00:48:54What's up?
00:48:55I found something, and I think you should see this.
00:49:03She's Audrey's sister?
00:49:05She changed her identity, her face, just to get close to you.
00:49:09Why?
00:49:10Think about it, Ashton.
00:49:11She came into your life out of nowhere, three months after Audrey's death.
00:49:14She lied to you, married you, manipulated you, shared a bed with you.
00:49:20There's only one thing that drives people this far.
00:49:24Revenge.
00:49:26I'm sorry, little brother.
00:49:29Looks like it's time to wake up from this dream.
00:49:31You're just saying that because you want me to help run your precious company.
00:49:40Yes, I was Robert's wife, and his company is very important to me.
00:49:45But I'm also a mother.
00:49:50I can see Ashton cares about you more than the others.
00:49:54He has calmed his playboy antics.
00:50:00I can see he's a better person with you.
00:50:04There was one woman before, but she disappeared.
00:50:07Who knows why?
00:50:08She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being across.
00:50:13There was one woman before, but she disappeared.
00:50:17Who knows why?
00:50:18She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being across.
00:50:22Love isn't logical, Zoe.
00:50:23And loving Ashton is probably the most illogical thing you could do.
00:50:28But that doesn't make it wrong.
00:50:33Wait.
00:50:35There was another woman?
00:50:37A serious relationship?
00:50:39What happened to her?
00:50:40I don't know, Zoe.
00:50:42You probably got sick of her like all the other girls.
00:50:46You're here now.
00:50:47She's gone forever.
00:50:49And for some reason, he likes keeping you around.
00:50:53So you're my only hope.
00:50:55Your only hope for what?
00:50:58A family legacy, Zoe.
00:51:01Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:51:05Ashton is the future of this company and this family.
00:51:09Xander's reign ended in that car accident.
00:51:11Everything is working according to plan.
00:51:15At least for Ashton.
00:51:29Ashton?
00:51:30You actually believe it?
00:51:33That I killed Audrey?
00:51:35I don't want to.
00:51:38But I see it now.
00:51:41The AC tattoo.
00:51:44The high profile lover.
00:51:46The pregnancy.
00:51:49It has to be you.
00:51:50There's no other explanation.
00:51:57Wait.
00:51:59Audrey was pregnant?
00:52:00You didn't know, did you?
00:52:10When you pushed her off the balcony?
00:52:12I never slept with Audrey.
00:52:15She was with someone else.
00:52:17Stop lying to me.
00:52:19You've been lying to me!
00:52:21I wanted to tell you.
00:52:22But how do you tell someone
00:52:24that you completely changed what you looked like
00:52:27to avenge your sister's death?
00:52:29You made me fall in love with you.
00:52:33And I fell in love with the man who murdered my Audrey.
00:52:37I didn't kill her, Zoe.
00:52:40I swear.
00:52:43It crossed my heart.
00:52:44I really wish that it wasn't you.
00:53:07Would you believe me
00:53:11if I said I really did love you?
00:53:21Neither would I.
00:53:22I.
00:53:37I.
00:53:51I.
00:53:56I.
00:53:57Paternity test results.
00:54:27Xander, now's not a good time.
00:54:50Now is the perfect time.
00:54:52I know where Zoe is.
00:54:54I'll send you the address, but you better hurry if you want to say goodbye.
00:54:59What are you talking about?
00:55:02Everyone has their tipping point, Ash.
00:55:04All I need to do is give her one tiny push.
00:55:09Xander, if you hurt her, I'll kill you.
00:55:14You've already done that, Ash.
00:55:17Two years ago.
00:55:21Xander.
00:55:22Xander.
00:55:23Xander.
00:55:30Paternity test results.
00:55:38A family legacy, Zoe.
00:55:40I see.
00:55:41Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:55:45Xander cross.
00:55:47Xander cross.
00:55:48Xander cross.
00:55:49Xander cross.
00:55:54Xander cross.
00:55:55Xander cross.
00:55:57Xander cross.
00:56:00Xander cross.
00:56:04Xander locks.
00:56:05Xander sect.
00:56:06Xander cross.
00:56:12Let's just find out each other.
00:56:13really dance. What do you mean he can't dance? You love dancing. He just doesn't, okay?
00:56:22Audra betrayed me. What are you doing here? And so did Ashton.
00:56:28I guess some curses do run in the family. Get inside.
00:56:43Happy birthday. Oh, Xander. Wow. This is an amazing gift. But I was hoping that maybe
00:57:03I could ask for something else. Anything. Well, I was thinking that maybe it was time
00:57:10that we take our relationship public so that we don't have to keep this a secret.
00:57:21You're pregnant. We're gonna have a baby. I never thought I'd come to this. But you're
00:57:31happy, right? Of course. So happy. I love you, Xander. I love you, Audra. You're mine.
00:57:44Now and forever. Come on, help me out. Let me put this necklace on my future wife.
00:57:53Turn around.
00:57:54Xander, what are you doing? I never told you. Because I was ashamed. I can't have kids.
00:58:16You want to fool me into being your crippled rich husband?
00:58:19Xander, please. I have proof. It's your baby. Our baby.
00:58:34Get inside.
00:58:43It was you. You killed Audrey.
00:58:46And you're the one who sent my DNA and my passport to Ashton. And all of it was you.
00:58:54How did you know who I was?
00:58:56The day you came and visited me in my office, you hugged me the exact same way she did.
00:59:03The exact same way she did.
00:59:11Sentiments can really fuck things up, huh?
00:59:13And so you're gonna kill me now, too?
00:59:17No.
00:59:19I have a better plan for you.
00:59:21Zoe!
00:59:22No, no. Ashton, no! You can't come in! Please!
00:59:25Zoe, thank God.
00:59:27Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.
00:59:31I don't know about you, but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
00:59:34One more step and she's dead. It's not her fault what happened. It's mine.
00:59:49Don't worry about it.
00:59:51You're gonna get yours. I'm gonna have my payback.
00:59:53I'm gonna take back everything you took from me.
00:59:57My job, my title, my reputation.
01:00:01But in order to do that, I gotta make sure you never get in my way again.
01:00:07You see two sisters dying in the same apartment.
01:00:10That's gonna lead to suspicion.
01:00:14But if I can connect...
01:00:15Have you lost your mind?
01:00:16Let me fucking finish.
01:00:19If I can connect them to the same men...
01:00:24You killed Audrey?
01:00:30You killed Audrey?
01:00:31You did.
01:00:34Soon the B-C-U-O turns out to be a maniac.
01:00:38Brutally killing his mistress and his wife.
01:00:41After he kills her, he turns himself in.
01:00:45Or puts the gun to his own head. I don't care.
01:00:48You choose, little brother.
01:00:50You can't get away with it.
01:00:52Of course I will.
01:00:54All I gotta do is convince the shareholders.
01:00:57You'd be surprised how quickly a bunch of lies can turn into the truth.
01:01:02But enough of that. We don't have all night.
01:01:04Ladies first.
01:01:11Xander, you don't have to do this!
01:01:13Shut the fuck up!
01:01:15Just shut the fuck up.
01:01:16Please.
01:01:18You're too late, little brother.
01:01:20Two years too late.
01:01:21You chose this.
01:01:24You could've lived your life with someone who truly loved you, but instead you murdered her.
01:01:27She never loved me.
01:01:28She had an AC tattoo!
01:01:30Two! She loved you so much that she marked herself as yours!
01:01:33She betrayed me with another man!
01:01:36Did you not see the paternity test?
01:01:41It's all right here.
01:01:42If you kill me now, the police will come and they'll find me, and they'll link me to Audrey, and they'll know that you murdered her while she was pregnant with your baby!
01:01:54You're fucking lying!
01:01:55You should've trusted Audrey, but you were so blinded by your jealousy and your anger, that you killed someone who truly loved you.
01:02:06You're a liar, Zoe Campbell.
01:02:12And you're dead.
01:02:27You're dead.
01:02:28You're dead.
01:02:28You're dead.
01:02:29You're dead.
01:02:29Okay.
01:02:31You're dead.
01:02:32Mother, 99.9% match with Alexandra Cross.
01:02:43Father.
01:02:44Oh, Jesus.
01:02:46What have I done?
01:02:49What have I done?
01:02:52I'm so sorry, Andrew.
01:02:53So that we don't have to keep this a secret.
01:03:00You're pregnant.
01:03:01Yeah.
01:03:02We're gonna have a baby.
01:03:06I'm so sorry.
01:03:09No, no, no!
01:03:28Hmm.
01:03:29I'm so sorry.
01:03:36Wait.
01:03:38Ready?
01:03:40As ready as I'll ever be.
01:03:43Okay.
01:03:45Oh my gosh.
01:03:47Okay, okay, okay.
01:03:49One.
01:03:49Two.
01:03:50Three.
01:03:53We're having a girl.
01:03:55It's our girl.
01:03:55It's our girl.
01:03:57We're having a baby girl.
01:04:00I know the perfect name.
01:04:03Mm-hmm.
01:04:04Audrey.
01:04:07I know the perfect name.
01:04:09Mm-hmm.
01:04:10Audrey.
01:04:13That's perfect.
01:04:14You want to swing?
01:04:20Don't let me fall, okay?
01:04:22Cross my heart.
01:04:23Mm-hmm.
01:04:24Ready?
01:04:24Ready?
01:04:25No.
01:04:26Okay.
01:04:27Here you go.
01:04:32How does it feel?
01:04:34Like I'm flying.
01:04:35What's happening?
