00:00:00Zoe Campbell, will you marry me?
00:00:03Yes, it's St. Cross.
00:00:06I'll marry you.
00:00:09No one gets close to my sons without wanting something.
00:00:13What do you want?
00:00:18Zoe, he loves me.
00:00:20I know he does.
00:00:30I've changed my face. I've come so far.
00:00:36I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:00:40And I'll make him pay.
00:00:49There's no turning back.
00:00:51I promise.
00:01:00Hi, I'm Zoe Campbell. I'm here for my interview.
00:01:19Take a seat. We'll call you when he's ready.
00:01:23Oh, okay.
00:01:30I have an interview later, Mother.
00:01:34I swear.
00:01:36Ashton, you throw away assistants
00:01:37as if they have expiration dates printed on them.
00:01:40Don't worry.
00:01:41I won't take long.
00:01:43This is the third time this month.
00:01:46And every time,
00:01:47it means thousands of dollars
00:01:49paid to shut up these
00:01:50blood-sucking flies on the wall.
00:01:53Come on.
00:01:55Boys just want to have fun.
00:01:57Not when you're taking over a publicly traded company
00:01:59in two weeks.
00:02:04You leave me no choice.
00:02:08You're not crossing me off the trust fund.
00:02:12I won't.
00:02:14If you get married.
00:02:16This company is your father's life's work.
00:02:19I'm not letting a weak link ruin it.
00:02:21I'm so sorry for interrupting.
00:02:29I never said I was selling.
00:02:33Zander.
00:02:36Wouldn't it make more sense
00:02:37if you didn't live in a penthouse?
00:02:40You'd also be closer to your PT,
00:02:42which Mother says is progressing.
00:02:45I wouldn't call taking five steps
00:02:47with a walker progressing.
00:02:49I should probably leave.
00:02:52Stay.
00:02:54I see my little brother
00:02:55has yet another young lady in his life.
00:02:58This is my new assistant.
00:03:00Her name is Zoe.
00:03:02I shall enjoy getting to know
00:03:04your acquaintance, Zoe.
00:03:06At least these next few months.
00:03:07Zander.
00:03:08I can fend for myself.
00:03:12What happened to you?
00:03:13Car accident.
00:03:15Our father died.
00:03:17Cross Kingdom shattered overnight.
00:03:20What the press forgot to mention.
00:03:22You were there in the accident.
00:03:26Can we discuss the apartment?
00:03:29This meeting's completely been derailed.
00:03:33Zoe, perhaps it's best
00:03:34if Zander and I continue alone.
00:03:38Wait, Zoe.
00:03:45So I'm telling you now.
00:03:47If he doesn't bend you over one way,
00:03:51he'll break you another.
00:03:54Really, Zander?
00:03:55Thank you for your concern.
00:03:58But the last thing you need to worry about
00:03:59is me falling for your brother.
00:04:02I assure you,
00:04:04you should be more afraid of me.
00:04:06Interesting.
00:04:09Zander, please.
00:04:10I'm only trying to help you.
00:04:16I don't know about you,
00:04:17but I could use a drink.
00:04:18I guess you could say
00:04:29that my relationship with my brother
00:04:31is improving.
00:04:32I mean, at least you're willing to work on it.
00:04:35I know my brother,
00:04:36and I know he's charming.
00:04:39Most of those women
00:04:39were in your position.
00:04:42Maybe Zander secretly wants to be close to you.
00:04:45Yeah.
00:04:46We don't have to talk about my brother.
00:04:48Or business.
00:04:50What should we talk about?
00:04:51You tricked my mother
00:05:01and stood your own against Zander
00:05:04on the same day.
00:05:05That makes me a little curious.
00:05:08You know,
00:05:11they say curiosity
00:05:12is a dangerous thing.
00:05:14I'm not just another assistant
00:05:16you're going to go home with.
00:05:19I've had a lovely evening, though.
00:05:21And I'll see you tomorrow.
00:05:23I'll see you tomorrow.
00:05:24I love this thing.
00:05:27I love this thing.
00:05:54curiosity isn't enough
00:06:14I need his trust
00:06:16I've changed my face
00:06:20I've come so far
00:06:21there's no turning back
00:06:23I'll find out the truth
00:06:25about you Audrey
00:06:26and I'll make him pay
00:06:28I promise
00:06:31I can't believe she left
00:06:37with Ashton last night

00:09:38but they're little
00:09:39and they're babies
00:09:40and they don't know how to talk to you
00:09:41and so they start screaming
00:09:43and they start crying
00:09:45and then they poop
00:09:45and it goes everywhere
00:09:46and they throw up

00:09:48it's the grossest thing
00:09:49I've ever experienced
00:09:51in my entire life
00:09:52and not even that I experience babies
00:09:54because I've never been around babies
00:09:55other than the fact that I used to be a baby
00:09:57I just
00:09:58I do not like babies
00:10:00like at all
00:10:01I think children are one of the most amazing gifts of life
00:10:04and you are so funny Ashton

00:24:28including certain members of the well-known Saviano and Mancini family.
00:24:33We'll be sure to update everyone on that story and keep them safe.
00:24:38Back to you, Tom.
00:24:40I really hope it wasn't you.
00:25:10I need to get rid of it all.
00:25:21Alright, well, if I can't meet the guy yet, at least have to tell me something about him.
00:25:26What do you guys do? Do you go dancing?
00:25:29Um, he can't really dance.
00:25:31What do you mean he can't dance? You love dancing.
00:25:33He just doesn't, okay?
00:25:36Zoe!
00:25:40I've lost your meeting, and I'm taking you to lunch.
00:25:44I wasn't expecting you on so soon.
00:25:47Well, can a guy take his girl out on a date?
00:25:52Yeah.
00:25:54But...
00:25:56I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:26:05I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:26:07You're a cheeseburger girl, aren't you? Not a lobster girl.
00:26:16What?
00:26:17I'm taking you to lunch, and I never really asked.
00:26:21Do you like cheeseburgers or do you like lobster?
00:26:23I don't know.
00:26:24Oh, sounds like we need to get some food in you pretty quick.
00:26:30Don't worry. I already made reservations at Il Floor.
00:26:33They have cheeseburgers and lobster.
00:26:36Look, Ashton, there's something I have to tell you.
00:26:41Wait.
00:26:43How could I be so stupid?
00:26:45I keep making these reservations, and I never even asked about your feelings.
00:26:51I keep showing you my world, but you haven't even had a chance to show me yours.
00:26:56Forget the reservations. Let's go wherever you want.
00:26:59Um...
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:18Mmm.
00:27:19Now this is food.
00:27:20Is everything okay?
00:27:31Yeah.
00:27:33It's just...
00:27:36I don't do stuff like this often.
00:27:39You wouldn't believe it, but this is my first ever picnic.
00:27:42What? Like, not even as a kid?
00:27:44Between Latin, math, leadership class, we didn't really have time to be kids.
00:27:58Come on.
00:27:59Where are we going?
00:28:00Somewhere where we can be kids again.
00:28:07You want me to do this?
00:28:09Uh-huh.
00:28:10Zoe, I'm a 28-year-old man in an $8,500 suit.
00:28:16I'm not kidding on that.
00:28:18That's crazy.
00:28:20I married someone I knew less than 30 hours.
00:28:22I think I get to decide what's crazy or not.
00:28:27This?
00:28:28Yes, sit down.
00:28:32Is this your first time on a swing?
00:28:34No.
00:28:35Why would you think that?
00:28:36Oh, my God.
00:28:37It is.
00:28:38Okay.
00:28:39Look.
00:28:40You're just going to have to trust me, okay?
00:28:41I'm not going to let you fall.
00:28:42Okay.
00:28:43Don't forget.
00:28:47When I was little, my sister used to push me so high.
00:28:50And I would just focus on the sky.
00:28:53I felt like I was flying.
00:28:57Wow.
00:28:58Okay.
00:29:03So.
00:29:05Ashton Cross?
00:29:07What do you think about my world?
00:29:10It's chaotic.
00:29:13But wonderful.
00:29:14Hey, you two!
00:29:24This is clearly not the time or place.
00:29:26Children, God, get a room!
00:29:41You see anything you like?
00:29:42Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:29:50Now that I haven't seen before.
00:29:53You see anything you like?
00:30:00I love what you've done with the place.
00:30:24None for me.
00:30:27Since when?
00:30:31Since...
00:30:31Holy shit, you're pregnant?
00:30:36Am I going to get to meet the guy before I leave town?
00:30:38It's complicated.
00:30:40He's complicated and everything's happening so fast and I'm scared that something might go wrong.
00:30:47You are happy though, right?
00:30:50I just worry about you living here without me now.
00:30:53Zoe, I'm fine.
00:30:55I mean, I don't know.
00:30:56You're just rushing into this relationship and now motherhood adds so much stress.
00:31:01I'm in a really good place now.
00:31:04I've been doing this new therapy.
00:31:05Yeah, 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.
00:31:13Zoe...
00:31:14He loves me.
00:31:18I know he does.
00:31:22He loves me.
00:31:23I know he does.
00:31:24You'd be crazy not to.
00:31:43Audrey?
00:31:51No, Audrey, please!
00:31:52Zoe, are you okay?
00:31:56Zoe...
00:31:57You're screaming.
00:32:00I am...
00:32:01I'm fine.
00:32:05I'm fine.
00:32:13I'm fine.
00:32:14Are you sure?
00:32:22I had a sister.
00:32:26Our parents died when we were young.
00:32:29So, you know, growing up in orphanages and foster homes, you never really feel like anything belongs to you.
00:32:41Snacks and toys.
00:32:43You share everything.
00:32:44And 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.
00:33:00And now that she's gone, I'm just like, I don't have anything.
00:33:15I totally understand.
00:33:17My dad was the only person alive who understood me.
00:33:32And after he died,
00:33:35I haven't had a real connection with anyone since.
00:33:39Anything remotely real, Xander would sabotage out of jealousy.
00:33:44Wait here.
00:34:08Now I can have something that's actually yours again.
00:34:10I don't know.
00:34:14You can't blame this all on your brother.
00:34:26You need to learn to control your anger.
00:34:29It's consuming you.
00:34:31If you're not asking, I'm not answering.
00:34:33You know this is the only way.
00:34:36It should be me and you know it.
00:34:37And he had the nerve to offer me an advisor position to the company you took away from me.
00:34:44You think I want to hand the company over to him?
00:34:47You're right, Xander.
00:34:56It should be you.
00:34:57When we have the board and shareholders to convince, and they're blind, all they see is you in a wheelchair.
00:35:06Fuck the board!
00:35:07Fuck the shareholders!
00:35:08This is what I mean!
00:35:09This is what I mean!
00:35:11The rage!
00:35:13You were once committed to getting better.
00:35:17We can get over what happened.
00:35:21But you have to want it.
00:35:24He doesn't deserve everything.
00:35:26Your father would have wanted you both to be happy.
00:35:30And that's all I want for you.
00:35:32Are you sure you're not coming?
00:35:50Do I want to go to a charity gala that zombie rich people hold just to feel better about buying $3 million mansions and not paying taxes?
00:36:00I'm good.
00:36:01Thank you, Tom.
00:36:03Hey, you better watch it.
00:36:05You're married to one of those rich, snobby people now.
00:36:08Come on, Zoe.
00:36:10We'll find some way to have fun.
00:36:20Go.
00:36:22You'll be late.
00:36:24Fine.
00:36:25I'll have a car to pick you up if you change your mind.
00:36:31Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:36:33Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:36:46I have a car to pick you up.
00:36:47No.
00:36:47No.
00:36:49I have a car to pick you up.
00:36:49No.
00:36:50No.
00:36:51No.
00:36:51Audrey.
00:37:02Audrey.
00:37:15Can you get the car ready, please?
00:37:17I am going to the gala.
00:37:18Uh, and, um, don't let Mr. Cross know I'm coming.
00:37:25I want it to be a surprise.
00:37:34Care to grab your brother a drink?
00:37:35Uh, so, how's the married life?
00:37:50And how's my sister-in-law?
00:37:52She's good.
00:37:54You know, this isn't really her thing.
00:37:57That's good.
00:37:58You know, I was worried about her.
00:37:59People are going to say what they're going to say, but she shouldn't let those rumors
00:38:04bother her.
00:38:06Rumors?
00:38:07What are you talking about?
00:38:09I took care of everything.
00:38:11This came out 30 minutes ago.
00:38:13An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and
00:38:20Zoe Campbell, showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:38:25The news confirms suspicions that Zoe is a ploy for Ashton to finally seize the throne
00:38:32of Cross Enterprise.
00:38:36I'm just glad Zoe's not here to take the blow.
00:38:45Zoe?
00:38:53You told me you barely knew her.
00:38:55What are you talking about?
00:38:56I'm talking about this book.
00:38:58That's Xander's book.
00:38:59Zoe, we got something bigger going on right now.
00:39:01What do you mean it's Xander's book?
00:39:03How could he?
00:39:04Yeah, I can tell you're upset, but look at this.
00:39:11An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross
00:39:16and Zoe Campbell, showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:39:20I know that this is a sham marriage, but I'm falling for you.
00:39:26And I want to protect us, protect you.
00:39:31I don't know why, but I believe you.
00:39:34I don't know if you're a psychopath or if everything I thought I knew was wrong.
00:39:41I don't know what's going on with you.
00:39:44I am falling for you, but these people, they're going to eat you alive.
00:39:48Well, I like to think I act fast under pressure.
00:39:51Zoe, wait.
00:40:02Zoe, what are you doing?
00:40:03Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:40:05I'm Zoe Cross.
00:40:09I'm sure you all know my husband, Ashton Cross.
00:40:13Now, I'm aware that many are questioning the authenticity of our marriage,
00:40:19and I'm here to confirm that it's true.
00:40:24Our marriage was a sham.
00:40:30I signed a prenup agreeing to marry Ashton because I thought that it would bring me wealth and fame,
00:40:38but I was wrong.
00:40:41It turned out to be so much more than that.
00:40:45He isn't just this spoiled rich kid, playboy, heartbreaker.
00:40:52Everything people say is just to sell stories.
00:40:59He's actually kinder and stronger and better.
00:41:06And I want him to know that I'm falling for him, too.
00:41:36No, no, no, no.
00:41:49I don't know.
00:42:19I can feel you staring at me.
00:42:39I haven't felt like this in a while.
00:42:44I feel like myself.
00:42:48Sometimes, when I look in the mirror, I don't recognize myself.
00:42:55When I see you, I see you.
00:43:02You promise?
00:43:06Cross my heart.
00:43:13Yeah.
00:43:14Yeah.
00:43:15Yeah.
00:43:16Yeah.
00:43:17Yeah.
00:43:18Yeah.
00:43:19Yeah.
00:43:20Yeah.
00:43:21Yeah.
00:43:22Yeah.
00:43:23Yeah.
00:43:24Yeah.
00:43:25Yeah.
00:43:26Yeah.
00:43:27Yeah.
00:43:28Yeah.
00:43:30Yeah.
00:43:31What can I do for you?
00:44:04Yeah.
00:44:05Yeah.
00:44:06Yeah.
00:44:07Yeah.
00:44:08Yeah.
00:44:09Yeah.
00:44:10Yeah.
00:44:11Yeah.
00:44:12Yeah.
00:44:13Yeah.
00:44:14Yeah.
00:44:15Yeah.
00:44:16Yeah.
00:44:17Yeah.
00:44:18Yeah.
00:44:19Yeah.
00:44:20Yeah.
00:44:21Yeah.
00:44:22Yeah.
00:44:23Yeah.
00:44:24Yeah.
00:44:25Yeah.
00:44:26Yeah.
00:44:27You have a history, and I know that it's difficult.
00:44:30But it's worth making amends.
00:44:34Does he know I like this story to the press?
00:44:37I don't know.
00:44:38It's been through enough already.
00:44:51Whatever hurt that you've caused each other can be forgiven.
00:44:57What if the things you've done aren't forgivable?
00:45:02The past doesn't matter.
00:45:05Just what you do now matters.
00:45:09You fell for him.
00:45:12I got to know him.
00:45:15Maybe you should, too.
00:45:20Maybe.
00:45:27I really hope that you and your brother can work things out.
00:45:47I'd like nothing more than to get closer to you, Zoe.
00:45:50I'm sorry.
00:46:03This is impossible.
00:46:04this is important Henry I need to know I can trust you on this of course you can Xander but
00:46:20why are you I don't need questions Henry I need answers

00:48:18it won't take long Mrs. Cross
00:48:24I'm in
00:48:43this is sick time Xander I'm a private detective not a sniffer dog
00:48:53I'm in
00:49:23If you're thinking of having one of those, I won't object.
00:49:43You handled the crisis, wow.
00:49:46I was sure you'd run away with your tail between your legs, but you stayed.
00:49:52But what for?
00:49:58Now I know no one gets close to my sons without wanting something.
00:50:04The question is, what do you want?
00:50:11Voila.
00:50:24What do you want?
00:50:28You're right, Lauren.
00:50:31I think I did want something from Ashton, but I don't know that I want it now.
00:50:39I recognize that look on your face.
00:50:46It happened to me with Robert, Sander and Ashton's father.
00:50:50I fell in love with a man I hated.
00:50:57It was an arranged marriage, and I didn't want to be in it.
00:51:01I got to truly know him, and it changed me.
00:51:10Don't stare at me like that, Zoe.
00:51:13You might think I'm a witch whose heart is made of stone, but I still know what love is.
00:51:27You wanted to see me?
00:51:30Take a seat.
00:51:31I found something, and I think you should see this.
00:51:46She's Audrey's sister?
00:51:48She changed her identity, her face, just to get close to you.
00:51:52Why?
00:51:53Think about it, Ashton.
00:51:54She came into your life out of nowhere.
00:51:56Three months after Audrey's death, she lied to you, married you, manipulated you, shared
00:52:02a bed with you.
00:52:04There's only one thing that drives people this far.
00:52:09Revenge.
00:52:10I'm sorry, little brother, but it looks like it's time to wake up from this dream.
00:52:18You're just saying that because you want me to help run your precious company.
00:52:25Yes, I was Robert's wife, and his company is very important to me, but I'm also a mother.
00:52:38I can see Ashton cares about you more than the others.
00:52:45He has calmed his Playboy antics.
00:52:50I can see he's a better person with you.
00:52:53There was one woman before, but she disappeared.
00:52:57Who knows why?
00:52:58She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being across.
00:53:04Love isn't logical, Zoe.
00:53:05And loving Ashton is probably the most illogical thing you could do.
00:53:19But that doesn't make it wrong.
00:53:26Wait.
00:53:29There was another woman?
00:53:30A serious relationship?
00:53:32What happened to her?
00:53:33I don't know, Zoe.
00:53:34You probably got sick of her like all the other girls.
00:53:40You're here now.
00:53:41She's gone forever.
00:53:42And for some reason, he likes keeping you around.
00:53:47So you're my only hope.
00:53:50Your only hope for what?
00:53:53A family legacy, Zoe.
00:53:56Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:54:01Ashton is the future of this company and this family.
00:54:05Xander's reign ended in that car accident.
00:54:08Everything is working according to plan.
00:54:12At least for Ashton.
00:54:15Ashton?
00:54:28You actually believe it?
00:54:29That I killed Audrey?
00:54:34I don't want to.
00:54:35But I see it now.
00:54:38The AC tattoo.
00:54:43the high-profile lover
00:54:45a pregnancy
00:54:48it has to be you
00:54:51there's no other explanation
00:54:53wait
00:54:59Audrey was pregnant?
00:55:03you didn't know, did you?
00:55:13when you pushed her off the balcony?
00:55:15I never slept with Audrey
00:55:18she was with someone else
00:55:20stop lying to me
00:55:23you've been lying to me
00:55:25I wanted to tell you
00:55:26but how do you tell someone
00:55:29that you completely changed what you looked like
00:55:32to avenge your sister's death?
00:55:34you made me fall in love with you
00:55:36and I fell in love with the man who murdered my Audrey
00:55:42I didn't kill her, Zoe
00:55:46I swear
00:55:48it crossed my heart
00:56:12I really
00:56:13wish that it wasn't you
00:56:17would you believe me
00:56:21if I said I really did love you?
00:56:32neither would I
00:56:34or else would I
00:57:04I don't know.
00:57:34Paternity test results.
00:58:04Xander, now's not a good time.
00:58:11Now is the perfect time.
00:58:13I know where Zoe is.
00:58:15I'll send you the address, but you better hurry if you want to say goodbye.
00:58:21What are you talking about?
00:58:24Everyone has their tipping point, Ash.
00:58:27All I need to do is give her one tiny push.
00:58:32Xander, if you hurt her, I'll kill you.
00:58:39You've already done that, Ash.
00:58:42Two years ago.
00:58:45Xander.
00:58:47Xander.
00:58:48Xander.
00:58:57Paternity test results.
00:58:59A family legacy, Zoe.
00:59:06I see.
00:59:08Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:59:12Xander cross.
00:59:14Alexander cross.
00:59:15Alexander cross.
00:59:21He can't really dance.
00:59:22What do you mean he can't dance?
00:59:23You love dancing.
00:59:24He just doesn't, okay?
00:59:28Audrey betrayed me.
00:59:42What are you doing here?
00:59:44What do you mean he can't dance? You love dancing. He just doesn't, okay?
00:59:53Audrey betrayed me.
00:59:56What are you doing here?
00:59:57And so did Ashton.
01:00:00I guess some curses do run in the family.
01:00:05Get inside.
01:00:08I love you, Xander.
01:00:10I love you, Audrey.
01:00:11You're mine.
01:00:15Now and forever.
01:00:17Come on, help me out.
01:00:19Let me put this necklace on my future wife.
01:00:25Turn around.
01:00:42Xander, what are you doing?
01:00:44I never told you this.
01:00:46Because I was ashamed.
01:00:48I can't have kids.
01:00:51You want to fool me into being your crippled rich husband?
01:00:54Xander, please.
01:00:56I have proof.
01:00:58It's your baby.
01:01:00Our baby.
01:01:01Get inside.
01:01:13Get inside.
01:01:13Happy birthday.
01:01:35Oh, Xander.
01:01:40Wow.
01:01:41This is an amazing gift.
01:01:44But I was hoping that maybe I could ask for something else.
01:01:50Anything.
01:01:51Well, I was thinking that maybe it was time that we take our relationship public so that we don't have to keep this a secret.
01:02:05You're pregnant.
01:02:10Yeah.
01:02:11We're gonna have the baby.
01:02:15I never thought it'd come to this.
01:02:18But you're happy, right?
01:02:21Of course.
01:02:24So happy.
01:02:25Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.
01:02:30I don't know about you, but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
01:02:35One more step and she's dead.
01:02:38It's not her fault what happened.
01:02:39It's mine.
01:02:40Don't worry about it.
01:02:42You're gonna get yours.
01:02:43I'm gonna have my payback.
01:02:45I'm gonna take back everything you took from me.
01:02:48My job, my title, my reputation.
01:02:50But in order to do that, I gotta make sure you never get in my way again.
01:03:00You see two sisters dying in the same apartment.
01:03:04That's gonna lead to suspicion.
01:03:07But if I can connect...
01:03:08Have you lost your mind?
01:03:09Let me fucking finish.
01:03:13If I can connect him to the same men...
01:03:16You killed Audrey?
01:03:25You killed Audrey?
01:03:27You did.
01:03:29Soon the B.C.U.O. turns out to be a maniac.
01:03:34Brutally killing his mistress and his wife.
01:03:37After he kills her, he turns himself in.
01:03:42Or puts the gun to his own head, I don't care.
01:03:44You choose, little brother.
01:03:47You can't get away with it.
01:03:49Of course I will.
01:03:52All I gotta do is convince the shareholders.
01:03:55You'd be surprised how quickly a bunch of lies can turn into the truth.
01:04:00But enough of that.
01:04:01We don't have all night.
01:04:03Ladies first.
01:04:11Xander, you don't have to do this.
01:04:12Shut the fuck up.
01:04:14Just shut the fuck up.
01:04:16Please.
01:04:18You're too late, little brother.
01:04:20Two years too late.
01:04:22You chose this.
01:04:24You could have lived your life with someone who truly loved you, but instead you murdered her.
01:04:28She never loved me.
01:04:30She had an AC tattoo.
01:04:32She loved you so much that she marked herself as yours.
01:04:35She betrayed me with another man!
01:04:37Did you not see the paternity test?
01:04:43It's all right here.
01:04:48If you kill me now, the police will come and they'll find me.
01:04:52And they'll link me to Audrey and they'll know that you murdered her while she was pregnant with your baby.
01:04:58You're a fucking lying.
01:05:00You should have trusted Audrey.
01:05:04But you were so blinded by your jealousy and your anger that you killed someone who truly loved you.
01:05:11And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:13And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:14And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:15And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:16And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:17And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:18And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:19And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:20And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:21And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:22And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:23And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:24And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:25And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:26And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:27And then you're so blinded by your baby.
01:05:28And then you're so blinded by your baby.
