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.

00:00:28I've changed my face.

00:00:29I'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.

00:00:46Hi, I'm Zoe Campbell.

00:01:06I'm here for my interview.

00:01:06Take 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.

00:01:31It 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.

00:02:16I never said I was selling.

00:02:18Xander, wouldn't it make more sense if you didn't live in a penthouse?

00:02:23He'd also be closer to your PT, which Mother says is progressing.

00:02:29I wouldn't call taking five steps with a walk or progressing.

00:02:33I should probably leave him.

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.

00:02:55Our 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.

00:03:06Can we discuss the apartment?

00:03:08This meeting's completely been derailed.

00:03:11Zoe, perhaps it's best if Xander and I continue alone.

00:03:14Wait, 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.

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.

00:03:41Interesting.

00:03:43Xander, please.

00:03:45I'm only trying to help you.

00:03:50I don't know about you, but I could use a drink.

00:03:52I 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.

00:04:20What 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.

00:04:37You 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.

00:04:50I'll see you tomorrow.

00:04:51I'll see you tomorrow.

00:04:52I'll see you tomorrow.

00:04:53I'll see you tomorrow.

00:04:54I'll see you tomorrow.

00:04:55I'll see you tomorrow.

00:04:56I'll see you tomorrow.

00:04:57I'll see you tomorrow.

00:04:58I'll see you tomorrow.

00:04:59I'll see you tomorrow.

00:05:00I'll see you tomorrow.

00:05:01I'll see you tomorrow.

00:05:02I'll see you tomorrow.

00:05:03I'll see you tomorrow.

00:05:04I'll see you tomorrow.

00:05:05I'll see you tomorrow.

00:05:06I'll see you tomorrow.

00:05:07I'll see you tomorrow.

00:05:08I'll see you tomorrow.

00:05:09I'll see you tomorrow.

00:05:10Curiosity isn't enough.

00:05:36I need his trust.

00:05:40I've changed my face.

00:05:42I've come so far.

00:05:44There's no turning back.

00:05:46I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.

00:05:48And I'll make him pay.

00:05:51I promise.

00:05:55I can't believe she left with Ashton last night.

00:05:58You know what they say.

00:05:59You sleep with the right person, you get the right job.

00:06:02Oh my God, you spilled coffee everywhere.

00:06:10Please, that was so embarrassing.

00:06:19Excuse me, ladies.

00:06:20I'm afraid I need to confiscate your key cards and escort you out.

00:06:24Wait, what?

00:06:25Why?

00:06:26There's 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?

00:06:36You mess with the wrong person, you lose your job.

00:07:01Zoe, 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

00:07:10night.

00:07:11It's unprofessional.

00:07:12Zoe, 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.

00:07:1926 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.

00:07:33What?

00:07:34Can I at least ask where we're going?

00:07:39On a date.

00:07:40Mr. Cross, I can't do this.

00:07:46Black Zoe, this isn't for you.

00:07:49This is for me.

00:07:50And 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.

00:08:13The Pacific Ocean.

00:08:16What?

00:08:17Never mind though.

00:08:20I actually don't own a yacht.

00:08:22But you're rich!

00:08:24I'm sorry.

00:08:25This is a deal breaker.

00:08:27Maybe you should just go for your assistant.

00:08:29She's a maintenance.

00:08:31Okay.

00:08:34Babies, I mean, they're just so small.

00:08:37And they're scrungy.

00:08:38And they look old.

00:08:39Like old people.

00:08:40But they're little.

00:08:41And they're babies.

00:08:42And they don't know how to talk to you.

00:08:43And so they start screaming.

00:08:45And they start crying.

00:08:46And then they poop.

00:08:47And it goes everywhere.

00:08:48And 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 experience 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.

00:09:06I 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...

00:09:17Don't you think that's kind of selfish?

00:09:20I'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.

00:09:36You are so funny.

00:09:38You are so funny.

00:09:41My 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.

00:09:49Oh, did 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, all right?

00:10:09Oh, you pay for it?

00:10:10Yeah.

00:10:11Oh, really?

00:10:12Oh, thank you.

00:10:13So, let's go.

00:10:14Yeah.

00:10:15Where are we going?

00:10:16Can you order another way, like, on your way out?

00:10:18Absolutely.

00:10:19Okay.

00:10:20Tell your mom I said hi.

00:10:21I miss her.

00:10:22Yes, I do.

00:10:23Okay.

00:10:29Absolutely.

00:10:30Cheers.

00:10:35So, um, Fitzgerald, you want kids?

00:10:38I have to say, I did not expect that.

00:10:41Let me guess.

00:10:43You thought I was some playboy who didn't care about anything, just like everybody else.

00:10:48Truth is, when people misunderstand you, and enough misunderstand you, you slowly forget who you are, too.

00:10:57This place is amazing.

00:10:58Xander and I designed this place.

00:10:59Wow.

00:11:00You were close.

00:11:01Yeah.

00:11:02Until we weren't.

00:11:03Do you have any siblings?

00:11:04Uh, no.

00:11:05Um, it's just me.

00:11:06You know, two years ago, it was actually me who was supposed to be on that flight to Zurich with my father.

00:11:13Not Xander.

00:11:15Sometimes I wish it was me.

00:11:16Do you have any siblings?

00:11:19No, um, it's just me.

00:11:23You know, two years ago it was actually me who was supposed to be on that flight to Zurich with my father.

00:11:31Not Xander.

00:11:33Sometimes I wish it was me.

00:11:39It was late at night.

00:11:42The car was headed to the airport.

00:11:46But I didn't show up.

00:11:51Xander was the heir.

00:11:55He was raised to take over the company.

00:12:00But 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 sell for yourself.

00:12:14I can't even get married when I'd like.

00:12:17Well, maybe not when, but you get to choose who.

00:12:20That's the most important part.

00:12:23What if I chose you?

00:12:30What if I chose you?

00:12:35What if I chose you?

00:12:40What?

00:12:41You heard me?

00:12:42What?

00:12:43You heard me?

00:12:45What?

00:12:46Zoe Campbell?

00:12:47Will you marry me?

00:12:48This is the joke.

00:12:49You're joking.

00:12:50I've never been more serious.

00:12:51Listen, Ashen.

00:12:52You may be used to getting whatever you want whenever you wanted.

00:12:53I don't want to marry you out of convenience.

00:12:55Zoe.

00:12:56Zoe.

00:12:57Women see me as a golden ticket to money and fame.

00:12:58My father's passed away.

00:13:00Xander sees me as competition and my mother sees me as a pawn to save the family business, but you, Zoe, you actually see me for who I really am.

00:13:11That's good.

00:13:32You should have used that with some of your blind dates.

00:13:36I have to get married, or I'm crossed off the trust fund.

00:13:42Negotiate your price.

00:13:44I'll have it put together.

00:13:47I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.

00:13:49And I'll make him pay.

00:14:02How do I look?

00:14:06The city's most eligible bachelor is off the market, and mom gets what she wants.

00:14:11Her most able-bodied son takes 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.

00:14:33What a lovely bride you are.

00:14:38Ashton is a very lucky man.

00:14:44But you can cut the act with me, sweetheart.

00:14:47I 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.

00:14:58But then I realized, you're actually perfect.

00:15:02Yes.

00:15:03Why didn't you do something?

00:15:04I wanted to, at first.

00:15:07But then I realized, you're actually perfect.

00:15:12A working class girl from the wrong side of the tracks.

00:15:16Pretty, but not too gorgeous.

00:15:19Sweet.

00:15:19But not too innocent.

00:15:24But you're a real-life Cinderella, and the people love seeing a fairy tale come true.

00:15:32How do you know this will work?

00:15:35How do you know this will work?

00:15:36Because.

00:15:39It worked for Robert and me.

00:15:42My husband built this empire.

00:15:44But he wouldn't have been able to rule it without me.

00:15:47And 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.

00:16:07Stay with Ashton, and you'll have everything you need.

00:16:19Title.

00:16:20Money.

00:16:22Leave him.

00:16:23Or harm him.

00:16:24Or 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, Mrs. 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.

00:16:58Don'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.

00:17:16Ashton 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 or worse?

00:17:31For richer or poorer?

00:17:33Until death do you part?

00:17:35Do you part?

00:17:54Yes.

00:17:54I do.

00:18:00As a token of your vows, you may exchange your symbol of love.

00:18:07By the power vested in me, by God, I now pronounce you husband and wife.

00:18:23You may kiss the bride.

00:18:24You may kiss the bride.

00:18:54I don't like that look.

00:18:55There seems to be a competition going on called Who 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.

00:19:09Why are you even reading that garbage?

00:19:17I'm just not used to seeing my name trending.

00:19:25See something you like?

00:19:27Nothing I haven't seen before.

00:19:29Fine.

00:19:30I'm going to address your dinner.

00:19:32I think you're fine.

00:19:34Right where you are.

00:19:35What?

00:19:44I think you're nervous.

00:19:44I think you're good.

00:19:44How are you doing?

00:19:45I know.

00:19:46So, I'm kind.

00:19:46I'm kind.

00:19:47I'm kind.

00:19:48I can't.

00:19:49I'm kind.

00:19:50I've never felt like this before, Zoe.

00:20:17Looked me in my eyes.

00:20:20Tell me you feel the same way.

00:20:25This 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?

00:20:47Did you know her?

00:20:50No, not really.

00:20:52I know that she was nice.

00:20:54I saw her in the office a few times, but that was it.

00:20:57Why are you asking?

00:20:59Nothing.

00:21:00I saw it on the news.

00:21:03Thought I was sad.

00:21:05Just wanted to know what the deal was.

00:21:08Yeah.

00:21:09Don't worry about the articles.

00:21:11I'll have it taken care of.

00:21:13You won't see anything tomorrow.

00:21:16Yeah.

00:21:17Don't mention it.

00:21:19Good night.

00:21:21Good night.

00:21:27Good night.

00:21:31Sigh.

00:22:01Sigh.

00:22:32Sigh.

00:22:33I really hope it wasn't you.

00:22:42I need to get rid of it all.

00:22:50Alright, well if I can't meet the guy yet,

00:22:52at least I have to tell me something about him.

00:22:54What do you guys do? Do you go dancing?

00:22:56Um, he can't really dance.

00:22:58What do you mean he can't dance? You love dancing.

00:23:00He just doesn't, okay?

00:23:03Zoe!

00:23:07I belong to the meeting, and I'm taking you to lunch.

00:23:10I wasn't expecting you home since then.

00:23:12Well, 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.

00:23:23I feel like there's something you're not telling me.

00:23:35You're a cheeseburger girl, aren't you?

00:23:37Not a lobster girl.

00:23:38You got a lobster girl?

00:23:39What?

00:23:40I'm taking you to lunch.

00:23:41And, 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.

00:23:52Don't worry.

00:23:53I already made reservations at Il Floor.

00:23:55They have cheeseburgers and lobster.

00:23:58I...

00:23:59Look, Ashton, there's something I have to tell you.

00:24:02Wait.

00:24:03How can I be so stupid?

00:24:05I keep making these reservations, and I never even asked about your feelings.

00:24:11I 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.

00:24:35Mmm.

00:24:36Now this is food.

00:24:37Is everything okay?

00:24:47Yeah.

00:24:48It's just...

00:24:51I don't do stuff like this often.

00:24:54You wouldn't believe it, but this is my first ever picnic.

00:24:57What?

00:24:58Like, not even as a kid?

00:24:59Between Latin, math, leadership class, we didn't really have time to be kids.

00:25:07Come on.

00:25:12Where are we going?

00:25:13Somewhere 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.

00:25:27I'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.

00:25:34What's that?

00:25:35No.

00:25:37This?

00:25:38Yes, sit down.

00:25:41Is it your first time on a swing?

00:25:43No.

00:25:44Why would you think that?

00:25:45Oh, my God.

00:25:46It is.

00:25:47Okay.

00:25:48Look.

00:25:49You're just going to have to trust me, okay?

00:25:50I'm not going to let you fall.

00:25:51Okay.

00:25:52Don't forget.

00:25:55When I was little, my sister used to push me so high.

00:25:58And I would just focus on the sky.

00:26:01I felt like I was flying.

00:26:02It's...

00:26:03Wow.

00:26:08So...

00:26:09Ashton Cross.

00:26:12What do you think about my world?

00:26:15It's chaotic.

00:26:17But wonderful.

00:26:26Hey, you two!

00:26:27This is clearly not the time or place.

00:26:29Children!

00:26:30God, get a room!

00:26:43You see anything you like?

00:26:46Nothing I haven't seen before.

00:26:47No, that I haven't seen before.

00:26:53No, that I haven't seen before.

00:27:17I love what you've done with the place.

00:27:23None for me.

00:27:25Since when?

00:27:27Since...

00:27:30Holy 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.

00:27:38And everything's happening so fast.

00:27:40And 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.

00:27:50You're just rushing into this relationship.

00:27:53And 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...

00:28:09He loves me.

00:28:11I know he does.

00:28:14He loves me.

00:28:15I know he does.

00:28:19You'd be crazy not to.

00:28:24Audrey?

00:28:40No, Audrey, please!

00:28:42Zoe, are you okay?

00:28:44Yeah.

00:28:46Zoe.

00:28:48You're screaming.

00:28:50I am...

00:28:52I'm fine.

00:28:53I'm fine.

00:29:00I'm fine.

00:29:01Are you sure?

00:29:08I had a sister.

00:29:12Our parents died when we were young.

00:29:14So, you know, growing up in orphanages and foster homes, you 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 that anytime she felt like something was, like, hers, truly hers, she would, um, write her initials on it.

00:29:41She was all I had.

00:29:42And now that she's gone, I just feel like I don't have anything.

00:29:55And I totally understand.

00:29:56And I totally understand.

00:30:07My dad was the only person alive who understood me.

00:30:11And after he died, I haven't had a real connection with anyone since.

00:30:17Anything remotely real, Xander would sabotage out of jealousy.

00:30:21My ear.

00:30:22Now you're gonna have something that's actually yours again.

00:30:36Now you're gonna have something that's actually yours again.

00:30:43You can't blame this all on your brother.

00:30:59You need to learn to control your anger.

00:31:02It's consuming you.

00:31:03If you're not asking, I'm not answering.

00:31:05You 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 to the company you took away from me.

00:31:15You think I want to hand the company over to him?

00:31:25You're right, Xander. It should be you.

00:31:27But we have the board and the shareholders to convince.

00:31:31And they're blind.

00:31:33All they see is you in a wheelchair.

00:31:35Fuck the board! Fuck the shareholders!

00:31:37This is what I mean!

00:31:39The rage!

00:31:40You were once committed to getting better.

00:31:45We can 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.

00:31:56And that's all I want for you.

00:31:58Are you sure you're not coming?

00:32:14Do 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?

00:32:20I'm good. Thank you, though.

00:32:22Hey, you better watch it.

00:32:24You're married to one of those rich snobby people now.

00:32:27Come on, Zoe.

00:32:29We'll find some way to have fun.

00:32:32Go.

00:32:33You'll be late.

00:32:35Fine.

00:32:36I'll have a car to pick you up if you change your mind.

00:32:39I'll be late.

00:32:40Fine.

00:32:41I'll have a car to pick you up if you change your mind.

00:32:44I'll be late.

00:32:45Fine.

00:32:46I'll have a car to pick you up if you change your mind.

00:32:48Nothing I haven't seen before.

00:33:18Audrey.

00:33:20Audrey.

00:33:31Can you get the car ready, please?

00:33:34I am going to the gala.

00:33:36And, um...

00:33:38Don't let Mr. Cross know I'm coming.

00:33:41I want it to be a surprise.

00:33:48Care to grab your brother a drink?

00:33:54Whatever.

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.

00:34:10You 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?

00:34:19What are you talking about?

00:34:20I took care of everything.

00:34:22This came out 30 minutes ago.

00:34:23An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe 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 of Cross Enterprise.

00:34:41I'm just glad Zoe's not here to take the blow out.

00:34:52Zoe?

00:35:00You 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've got something bigger going on right now.

00:35:07What do you mean it's Xander's book? How could he...?

00:35:09Yeah, I can tell you're upset, but...

00:35:13Look at this.

00:35:15An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell, showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.

00:35:24I know that this is a sham marriage.

00:35:26But I'm falling for you.

00:35:29And I want to protect us.

00:35:31Protect you.

00:35:34I don't know why, but I believe you.

00:35:35I don't need you.

00:35:37I don't know if you're a psychopath or...

00:35:40If everything I thought I knew was wrong.

00:35:43I don't know what's going on with you.

00:35:46I am falling for you, but these people, they're gonna eat you alive.

00:35:49Well...

00:35:51I like to think I act fast under pressure.

00:35:56Zoe, wait!

00:35:57Zoe, what are you doing?

00:35:59Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

00:36:01Um...

00:36:03I'm Zoe Cross. I'm sure you all know my husband, Ashton Cross.

00:36:07Now, I'm aware that many are questioning the authenticity of our marriage, and...

00:36:12I'm here to confirm that it's true.

00:36:22Our marriage was a sham.

00:36:25I signed a prenup agreeing to marry Ashton because I thought that it would bring me wealth and fame, but I was wrong.

00:36:35It turned out to be so much more than that.

00:36:41He isn't just this spoiled rich kid, playboy, heartbreaker.

00:36:47Everything people say is just to sell stories.

00:36:50He's actually kinder, and stronger, and better.

00:37:01And I want him to know that I'm falling for him, too.

00:37:06I want him to know that I'm going for him, too.

00:37:07I want him to know that I'm going for him, too.

00:37:36What is the case?

00:37:38I want him to know that I'm gonna try and apologize, because I've been murdered.

00:37:41I want you to know that I'm going to know that I'm going for a while or for a while, and I haven't considered the fact that I'm tied up, but I was really worried about it.

00:37:46I want you to know that I'm going to know that I'm gonna be so lucky that I'm going for you.

00:37:49I'm going for a while.

00:37:51I'm going to tell you that I'm going for a while.

00:37:53I can't wait for you.

00:37:55If you don't want me to know how I can just say this, say, this is a fun thing.

00:37:59I'm gonna wait for you.

00:38:01I can't forget to know that I'm going for you to do too many times.

00:38:02I can feel you staring at me.

00:38:23I 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.

00:38:44You promise?

00:38:47You cross my heart.

00:39:01Hey, Chad.

00:39:07Of course.

00:39:09What can I do for you?

00:39:13I 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.

00:39:22Why would I do something like that?

00:39:24It doesn't matter.

00:39:25And I don't care.

00:39:26But for whatever reason you're doing it, you're coming between Ashton and I.

00:39:31You 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

00:39:51and say differently to my sis... to...

00:39:57I know you have a history and I know that it's difficult.

00:40:03But it's worth making amends.

00:40:06Does he know I leaked this story to the press?

00:40:09I don't know.

00:40:10He's been through enough already.

00:40:12Whatever hurt that you've caused each other can be forgiven.

00:40:27What if the things you've done aren't forgivable?

00:40:31The past doesn't matter.

00:40:34Just what you do now matters.

00:40:37You fell for him.

00:40:40I got to know him.

00:40:43Maybe you should too.

00:40:48Maybe.

00:41:04I really hope that you and your brother can work things out.

00:41:10I'd like nothing more than to get closer to you, Zoe.

00:41:15This is impossible.

00:41:19This is important, Henry.

00:41:20I need to know I can trust you on this.

00:41:22Of course you can, Xander, but why are you...

00:41:24I don't need questions, Henry.

00:41:25I need answers.

00:41:26Don't worry.

00:41:27I'll have to test results in 24 hours.

00:41:29Good.

00:41:30Call me when you have it.

00:41:31And remember, I was never here.

00:41:36I was never here.

00:41:37I was never here.

00:41:38I was never here.

00:41:40I was never here.

00:41:41I was never here.

00:41:42I was never here.

00:41:43I was never here.

00:41:44I was never here.

00:41:45I was never here.

00:41:50I'll have to test results in 24 hours.

00:41:52Call me when you have it.

00:41:53And remember, I was never here.

00:41:56I know that you are the anonymous source.

00:42:26Hey, I have the test results.

00:42:32It's a perfect match.

00:42:34So they're related.

00:42:35It's more than that, Xander.

00:42:37I said, perfect match.

00:42:39The two DNA samples are identical.

00:42:43I feel like I know you from somewhere.

00:42:45Maybe another life.

00:42:51They're twins.

00:42:56Good morning, Mrs. Cross.

00:43:17Is it about time?

00:43:18For cleaning?

00:43:19Yes, Mrs. Cross.

00:43:20I come every Monday.

00:43:21I can always come back.

00:43:22No, come in.

00:43:23I'll just go get a coffee.

00:43:27It won't take long, Mrs. Cross.

00:43:33It won't win, Mrs. Cross.

00:43:50It won't win.

00:43:51This takes time, Xander.

00:43:57I'm a private detective, not a sniffer dog.

00:44:00Alright, let's go back.

00:44:24If you're thinking of having one of those, I won't object.

00:44:44You handled the crisis well.

00:44:47I was sure you'd run away with your tail between your legs.

00:44:51But you stayed.

00:44:54But what for?

00:44:58Now I know, no one gets close to my sons without wanting something.

00:45:03The question is, what do you want?

00:45:17Voila.

00:45:21What do you want?

00:45:25You'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.

00:45:41It happened to me with Robert, Sander and Ashton's father.

00:45:45I fell in love with a man I hated.

00:45:46It was an arranged marriage and I didn't want to be in it.

00:45:55I got to truly know him.

00:45:56And it changed me.

00:46:03Don't stare at me like that, Zoe.

00:46:05You might think I'm a witch whose heart is made of stone, but I still know what love is.

00:46:10You wanted to see me?

00:46:11Take a seat.

00:46:20What's up?

00:46:21What's up?

00:46:22I found something and I think you should see this.

00:46:35She's Audrey's sister.

00:46:36She changed her identity, her face, just to get close to you.

00:46:40Why?

00:46:41Think about it, Ashton.

00:46:42She came into your life out of nowhere, three months after Audrey's death.

00:46:45She lied to you, married you, manipulated you, shared a bed with you.

00:46:51There's only one thing that drives people this far.

00:46:55Revenge.

00:46:58I'm sorry, little brother.

00:47:00Looks like it's time to wake up from this dream.

00:47:07You'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.

00:47:17But I'm also a mother.

00:47:22I can see Ashton cares about you more than the others.

00:47:28He has calmed his playboy antics.

00:47:32I can see he's a better person with you.

00:47:35There was one woman before, but she disappeared.

00:47:38Who knows why?

00:47:40She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being across.

00:47:45There was one woman before, but she disappeared.

00:47:48Who knows why?

00:47:50She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being across.

00:47:53Love isn't logical, Zoe.

00:47:56And loving Ashton is probably the most illogical thing you could do.

00:48:00But that doesn't make it wrong.

00:48:01Wait.

00:48:04There was another woman?

00:48:08A serious relationship?

00:48:10What happened to her?

00:48:12Who knows, Zoe?

00:48:14You probably got sick of her like all the other girls.

00:48:17You're here now.

00:48:19She's gone forever.

00:48:21And for some reason, he likes keeping you around.

00:48:24So you're my only hope.

00:48:27Your only hope for what?

00:48:29A family legacy, Zoe.

00:48:32Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.

00:48:36Ashton is the future of this company and this family.

00:48:40Xander's reign ended in that car accident.

00:48:42Everything is working according to plan.

00:48:46At least for Ashton.

00:48:48When?

00:49:01Ashton?

00:49:03You actually believe it?

00:49:05That I killed Audrey?

00:49:07I don't want to.

00:49:09But I see it now.

00:49:10The AC tattoo.

00:49:15The high profile lover.

00:49:18The pregnancy.

00:49:20It has to be you.

00:49:22There's no other explanation.

00:49:29Wait.

00:49:31Audrey was pregnant?

00:49:33You didn't know, did you?

00:49:41When you pushed her off the balcony?

00:49:44I never slept with Audrey.

00:49:47She was with someone else.

00:49:49Stop lying to me.

00:49:51You've been lying to me!

00:49:53I wanted to tell you.

00:49:55But how do you tell someone?

00:49:57That you completely changed what you looked like to avenge your sister's death?

00:50:00You made me fall in love with you.

00:50:05And I fell in love with the man who murdered my Audrey.

00:50:09I didn't kill her, Zoe.

00:50:12I swear.

00:50:15It crossed my heart.

00:50:30I really wish that it wasn't you.

00:50:42Would you believe me?

00:50:44If I said I really did love you?

00:50:53Neither would I.

00:51:00No.

00:51:01No.

00:51:02No.

00:51:04You may have started waiting for me.

00:51:05No.

00:51:07No.

00:51:08Yeah, it's not so good.

00:51:10No.

00:51:12No.

00:51:14No.

00:51:17No.

00:51:19No.

00:51:20No.

00:51:22No.

00:51:25No

00:51:26Shh, shh, shh, shh.

00:51:56I need 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.

00:52:48Two years ago.

00:52:53Xander.

00:52:54Xander.

00:52:55Xander.

00:53:03Xander.

00:53:03Xander test results.

00:53:10A family legacy, Zoe.

00:53:12AC.

00:53:14Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.

00:53:17Xander Cross.

00:53:18Xander Cross.

00:53:22Xander Cross.

00:53:22Um, he can't really dance.

00:53:46What do you mean he can't dance?

00:53:47You love dancing.

00:53:48He just doesn't, okay?

00:53:52Audrey betrayed me.

00:53:55What 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.

00:54:07I love you, Xander.

00:54:09I love you, Audrey.

00:54:11You'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.

00:54:22Turn around.

00:54:38Xander, what are you doing?

00:54:39I never told you this, because I was ashamed.

00:54:43I can't have kids.

00:54:44You want to fool me into being your crippled, rich husband?

00:54:48Xander, please.

00:54:50I have proof.

00:54:52It's your baby.

00:54:54Our baby.

00:54:58Get inside.

00:55:05Happy birthday.

00:55:26Oh, Xander.

00:55:29Xander, wow.

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.

00:55:46So that we don't have to keep this a secret.

00:55:55You're pregnant.

00:55:58We're going to have a baby.

00:56:01I never thought I'd come to this.

00:56:04But you're happy, right?

00:56:07Of course.

00:56:09So happy.

00:56:12Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.

00:56:14I don't know about you, but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.

00:56:20One 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.

00:56:54If I can connect them to the same men...

00:56:56You 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, I don't care.

00:57:23You choose, little brother.

00:57:25You 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 and they'll know that you murdered her while she was pregnant with your baby.
