00:00:00Hi, I'm Zoe Campbell. I'm here for my interview.
00:00:16Take a seat. We'll call you when he's ready.
00:00:19Oh, okay.
00:00:27I have an interview later, Mother.
00:00:28I swear. Ashton, you throw away assistants as if they have expiration dates printed on them.
00:00:35Don't worry. That won't take long.
00:00:37This is the third time this month.
00:00:40And every time, it means thousands of dollars paid to shut up these blood-sucking flies on the wall.
00:00:46Come on. Boys just want to have fun.
00:00:49Not when you're taking over a publicly traded company in two weeks.
00:00:56You leave me no choice.
00:00:58You're not crossing me off the trust fund.
00:01:03I won't.
00:01:05If you get married.
00:01:07This company is your father's life's work.
00:01:10I'm not letting a weak link ruin it.
00:01:12I'm so sorry for interrupting.
00:01:17Oh, thank you.
00:01:18Who did her hair? Do you think she even combed it this morning?
00:01:21No.
00:01:22She did not comb it.
00:01:23It's called a rat's nest.
00:01:24Oh, yes.
00:01:25This is bullshit.
00:01:30It can help redeem your image.
00:01:32It'll show the public that you've stopped screwing around.
00:01:35I've started acting like a grown-up.
00:01:37I never wanted to be CU.
00:01:38You know very well why you cannot be the same.
00:01:43What do I have to remind you?
00:01:45You're the heir to the Cross family, Ashton.
00:01:58This is the hand you've been dealt with.
00:02:01Play it well.
00:02:03This company is your father's life's work.
00:02:06I'm so sorry for interrupting, but Jeff said he needed your signature in three minutes,
00:02:12or we wouldn't be able to close the contract with Gabe from K&L, and he'd be really, really unhappy.
00:02:19Who are you?
00:02:20Pam from Marketing Strategies.
00:02:23Mrs. Cross, it's a pleasure to meet you.
00:02:25Thank you, Pam.
00:02:26Well, obviously, Pam and I have a lot of work to do.
00:02:31We'll talk about this another time.
00:02:34You're not off the hook, Ashton.
00:02:36I've gone through great lengths to set you up with some very worthy candidates.
00:02:40Remember, you have two weeks, and I want to see a ring.
00:02:47We're so sorry, Mr. Cross.
00:02:49We didn't mean to let this woman disturb you.
00:02:52Yeah, we're really sorry.
00:02:53We'll escort her out right away.
00:02:54Did I say I wanted her out?
00:02:56She's fine.
00:02:58She can stay.
00:02:59Go back to work.
00:03:03Now, go back to work.
00:03:04All right.
00:03:12Zoe Campbell.
00:03:14Why did you just burst in here like that?
00:03:16I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but it sounded like you could use an escape from that conversation.
00:03:20And you came up with that whole story on the spot, just like that.
00:03:23I act fast under pressure.
00:03:26You're hired.
00:03:33Okay.
00:03:33Your first day starts right now.
00:03:36Didn't expect it to be so easy.
00:03:39But yes, I guess it all starts right now.
00:03:41I never said I was selling.
00:03:46I never said I was selling.
00:03:47Xander, wouldn't it make more sense if you didn't live in a penthouse?
00:03:52You'd also be closer to your PT, which mother says is progressing.
00:03:56I wouldn't call taking five steps with a walker progressing.
00:04:01I should probably leave.
00:04:03Stay.
00:04:05I see my little brother has yet another young lady in his life.
00:04:08This is my new assistant.
00:04:10Her name is Zoe.
00:04:11I shall enjoy getting to know your acquaintance, Zoe.
00:04:15At least these next few months.
00:04:17Xander.
00:04:17I can fend for myself.
00:04:21What happened to you?
00:04:22Car accident.
00:04:23Our father died.
00:04:25Cross Kingdom shattered overnight.
00:04:28What the press forgot to mention.
00:04:30You were there in the accident.
00:04:34Can we discuss the apartment?
00:04:35And this meeting has completely been derailed.
00:04:40Zoe, perhaps it's best if Xander and I continue alone.
00:04:46Wait, Zoe.
00:04:48That's what I'm telling you now.
00:04:50If he doesn't bend you over one way, he'll break you another.
00:04:56Really, Xander?
00:04:57Thank you for your concern.
00:04:59But the last thing you need to worry about is me falling for your brother.
00:05:02I assure you, you should be more afraid of me.
00:05:08Interesting.
00:05:09Xander, please.
00:05:10I'm only trying to help you.
00:05:16I don't know about you, but I could use a drink.
00:05:26I guess you could say that my relationship with my brother is improving.
00:05:30I mean, at least you're willing to work on it.
00:05:33I know my brother, and I know he's charming.
00:05:36Most of those women were in your position.
00:05:39Maybe Xander secretly wants to be close to you.
00:05:42Yeah, we don't have to talk about my brother.
00:05:45Or business.
00:05:47What should we talk about?
00:05:48You tricked my mother and stood your own against Xander on the same day.
00:05:53That makes me a little curious.
00:05:58You know they say curiosity is a dangerous thing.
00:06:02I'm not just another assistant you're going to go home with.
00:06:06I've had a lovely evening, though.
00:06:08And I'll see you tomorrow.
00:06:09I'll see you tomorrow.
00:06:39Curiosity isn't enough.
00:06:56I need his trust.
00:06:59I've changed my face.
00:07:01I've come so far.
00:07:02There's no turning back.
00:07:04I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:07:07And I'll make him pay.
00:07:09I promise.
00:07:12I can't believe she left with Ashton last night.
00:07:15You know what they say.
00:07:16You sleep with the right person, you get the right job.
00:07:19Oh my god, you spilled coffee everywhere.
00:07:22That was so embarrassing.
00:07:36Excuse me, ladies.
00:07:38I'm afraid I need to confiscate your key cards and escort you out.
00:07:41Wait, what?
00:07:42Why?
00:07:43It was a direct order from Mr. Cross.
00:07:45He fired us?
00:07:46I mean, he can't do that.
00:07:48I believe he can.
00:07:50Now, are you packing yourself or do you need a hand?
00:07:57You messed with the wrong person, you lose your job.
00:08:05Zoe, get in.
00:08:21You're coming with me.
00:08:23Look, Mr. Cross, I appreciate what you did, but I can't be seen going home with you every
00:08:28night.
00:08:28It's unprofessional.
00:08:29Zoe, you're my assistant now.
00:08:31You're going to work when I need you to work, or I can save us both the trouble and fire
00:08:36you right now.
00:08:3826 hours, that would be a record even for me.
00:08:46Can I at least ask where we're going?
00:08:49On a date.
00:08:54Mr. Cross, I can't do this.
00:08:56Black Zoe, this isn't for you, this is for me, and a friend.
00:09:02You brought me on a date with another woman.
00:09:05Technically, three other women.
00:09:08Why would you do that?
00:09:09I trust your judgment.
00:09:11Tell me which one of these girls I should marry.
00:09:16I just love yachts.
00:09:18You know, you sail out from L.A., and the entire Atlantic Ocean is yours.
00:09:24The, uh, Pacific Ocean.
00:09:26What?
00:09:29Never mind, though.
00:09:30I actually don't own yacht.
00:09:32But you're rich!
00:09:34I'm sorry, this is a deal breaker.
00:09:38Maybe you should just go for your assistant.
00:09:39She's a maintenance.
00:09:43Okay.
00:09:44Babies, I mean, they're just so small.
00:09:47They're scrunchy, and they look old, like old people, but they're little, and they're babies,
00:09:51and they don't know how to talk to you.
00:09:53And so they start screaming, and they start crying, and then they poop, and it goes everywhere,
00:09:57and they throw up.
00:09:58And, like, honestly, it's the grossest thing I've ever experienced in my entire life.
00:10:02And not even that I experience babies, because I've never been around babies.
00:10:05Other than the fact that I used to be a baby, I just, I do not like babies, like, at all.
00:10:10I think children are one of the most amazing gifts of life.
00:10:13And you are so funny, Ashton.
00:10:16I mean, the reality is just that babies would also get in the way of my social life, and
00:10:20I have very high standards for, like, living.
00:10:25And so...
00:10:26Don't you think that's kind of selfish?
00:10:30I'm being a realist.
00:10:33And you're joking, right?
00:10:34A man with your playboy reputation?
00:10:37You're honestly telling me that you want to settle down and have children.
00:10:45You are so funny.
00:10:47My mother said that you study literature.
00:10:50Have you, uh, read Fitzgerald?
00:10:53Who?
00:10:54Oh, no, I didn't go to school.
00:10:56Did I go to school with him?
00:10:57I don't think I went to school with him.
00:10:59No, no, no.
00:11:00Uh, Fitzgerald.
00:11:01The Great Gatsby.
00:11:04I love Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:11:06I love him.
00:11:07I was at a party, and he was, like, so hitting on me.
00:11:10It was so crazy.
00:11:12He was so short.
00:11:13It was so weird.
00:11:14Everything's been taken care of.
00:11:15Have a great night, or what?
00:11:15Oh, you pay for it?
00:11:16Yeah.
00:11:16Oh, really?
00:11:17Oh, thank you.
00:11:18So, wait, let's go?
00:11:18Yeah.
00:11:19Where are we going?
00:11:19Um, I have another date.
00:11:22Can you order another, like, on your way out?
00:11:25Absolutely.
00:11:25Okay.
00:11:27Tell your mom I said hi.
00:11:28I miss her.
00:11:29Yes, I will do.
00:11:29Okay.
00:11:35Absolutely.
00:11:36Cheers.
00:11:40So, um, Fitzgerald, you want kids?
00:11:44I have to say, I did not expect that.
00:11:46You thought I was some playboy who didn't care about anything, just like everybody else.
00:11:53Truth is, when people misunderstand you, and enough misunderstand you, you slowly forget who you are, too.
00:12:03This place is amazing.
00:12:11Xander and I designed this place.
00:12:13Wow.
00:12:15You were close.
00:12:17Yeah.
00:12:18Until we weren't.
00:12:22Do you have any siblings?
00:12:23No.
00:12:25Um, it's just me.
00:12:30You know, two years ago, it was actually me who was supposed to be on that flight to Zurich with my father.
00:12:37Not Xander.
00:12:38Sometimes I wish it was me.
00:12:45It was late at night.
00:12:49The car was headed to the airport.
00:12:50But I didn't show up.
00:12:57Xander was the heir.
00:13:01He was raised to take over the company.
00:13:03But I ruined him.
00:13:08You didn't ruin him.
00:13:10No one's meant to be one thing.
00:13:11I mean, we all have a choice.
00:13:16Not in my world, Zoe.
00:13:18You saw for yourself.
00:13:20I can't even get married when I'd like.
00:13:22Well, maybe not when, but you get to choose who.
00:13:26That's the most important part.
00:13:34What if I chose you?
00:13:38What?
00:13:41You heard me.
00:13:45What?
00:13:48Zoe Gamble?
00:13:50Will you marry me?
00:13:52This is the joke.
00:13:56You're joking.
00:13:58I've never been more serious.
00:14:01Listen, Eshin, you may be used to getting whatever you want whenever you want it.
00:14:05I don't want to marry you out of convenience.
00:14:08Zoe.
00:14:11Women see me as a golden ticket to money and fame.
00:14:14My father's passed away.
00:14:17Xander sees me as competition, and my mother sees me as a pawn to save the family business.
00:14:21But you, Zoe, you actually see me for who I really am.
00:14:27That was good.
00:14:29You should have used that with some of your blind dates.
00:14:31I have to get married, or I'm crossed off the trust fund.
00:14:38Negotiate your price.
00:14:40I'll have it put together.
00:14:43I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:14:45And I'll make him pay.
00:14:46How do I look?
00:15:02The city's most eligible bachelor is off the market.
00:15:05My mom gets what she wants.
00:15:07Her most able-bodied son.
00:15:10Takes the throne and keeps his trust fund.
00:15:12And today's your big day.
00:15:14See you out there.
00:15:15Mrs. Cross.
00:15:28What a lovely bride you are.
00:15:34Ashton is a very lucky man.
00:15:40But you can cut the act with me, sweetheart.
00:15:42I know you and Ashton aren't really together.
00:15:47Well, if you really believe that, then why didn't you do something?
00:15:51I wanted to, at first.
00:15:53But then I realized, you're actually perfect.
00:15:58A working class girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
00:16:03Pretty, but not too gorgeous.
00:16:05Sweet.
00:16:10But not too innocent.
00:16:13You're a real-life Cinderella.
00:16:15And the people love seeing a fairy tale come true.
00:16:20How do you know this will work?
00:16:23Because.
00:16:25It worked for Robert and me.
00:16:27My husband built this empire.
00:16:31But he wouldn't have been able to rule it without me.
00:16:35And now it's your turn.
00:16:37To stand next to Ashton on the throne.
00:16:40Support him.
00:16:42Help him.
00:16:44And play your part.
00:16:48I will, Mrs. Cross.
00:16:50Of course you will.
00:16:52And I intend to make sure of it.
00:16:53Stay with Ashton and you'll have everything you need.
00:17:01Title.
00:17:02Money.
00:17:04Leave him.
00:17:05Or harm him.
00:17:06Or his company's name.
00:17:08In any way.
00:17:11And not only won't you see a single penny.
00:17:13But I will personally destroy you.
00:17:19Well, that's where you're wrong, Mrs. Cross.
00:17:22I don't want anything from him.
00:17:26I just want Ashton.
00:17:37I think it looks perfect.
00:17:40Don't you think so, Mom?
00:17:43The essence of marriage is love, trust, and honesty.
00:17:54Virtues that we as human beings share.
00:17:58Ashton Cross.
00:17:59Do you take this woman to be your wedded wife?
00:18:03I do.
00:18:05Zoe Campbell.
00:18:06Do you take this man to be your wedded husband?
00:18:09To cherish, for better, for worse.
00:18:13For richer, for poorer.
00:18:15Until death do you part?
00:18:17Do you part?
00:18:17Yes.
00:18:38Yes.
00:18:40I do.
00:18:40As a token of your vows, you may exchange your symbol of love.
00:18:57By the power vested in me, by God, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:19:03You may kiss the bride.
00:19:04You may kiss the bride.
00:19:34There seems to be a competition going on called
00:19:36Who Can Come Up With The Most Humiliating Article About Zoe Campbell.
00:19:40Zoe Campbell puts a ring on Ashton Cross a week after becoming his assistant.
00:19:44One can only imagine how good Mrs. Campbell is at impressing her boss.
00:19:51Why are you even reading that garbage?
00:19:55I'm just not used to seeing my name trending.
00:19:57I see something you like.
00:20:06Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:20:08Fine.
00:20:08I'm going to address your dinner.
00:20:10Uh, uh, I think you're fine.
00:20:13Right where you are.
00:20:13Sorry.
00:20:24I've never felt like this before, Zoe.
00:20:31Look me in my eyes.
00:20:32Tell me you feel the same way.
00:20:39This marriage is just a piece of paper.
00:20:44It's a contract.
00:20:46Nothing more.
00:20:50Okay.
00:20:50Ashton?
00:20:57What happened to the woman at your work who killed herself?
00:21:01Did you know her?
00:21:03Um, no, not really.
00:21:06Uh, I know that she was nice.
00:21:08I saw her in the office a few times, but that was it.
00:21:11Why are you asking?
00:21:12Nothing.
00:21:13Nothing.
00:21:14I, um, saw it on the news.
00:21:17Thought I was sad.
00:21:19Just wanted to know what the deal was.
00:21:22Yeah.
00:21:24Don't worry about the articles.
00:21:26I'll have it taken care of.
00:21:27You won't see anything tomorrow.
00:21:31Yeah.
00:21:32Don't mention it.
00:21:34Good night.
00:21:42No names have been released yet.
00:22:12I really hope it wasn't you.
00:22:42I need to get rid of it all.
00:22:53All right, well, if I can't meet the guy yet, at least have to tell me something about him.
00:22:57What do you guys do?
00:22:58Do you go dancing?
00:22:59Um, he can't really dance.
00:23:01What do you mean he can't dance?
00:23:03You love dancing.
00:23:04He just doesn't, okay?
00:23:05Zoe!
00:23:07Zoe!
00:23:10I'm holding on to the meeting, and I'm taking you to lunch.
00:23:13I wasn't expecting you on so soon.
00:23:16Well, can't a guy take his girl out on a date?
00:23:20Yeah.
00:23:23But, I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:23:26You're a cheeseburger girl, aren't you?
00:23:33Not a lobster girl.
00:23:34What?
00:23:35I'm taking you to lunch.
00:23:36And, I never really asked.
00:23:39Do you like cheeseburgers, or do you like lobster?
00:23:40Oh, uh, sounds like we need to get some food in you pretty quick.
00:23:48Don't worry.
00:23:49I already made reservations at Il Floor.
00:23:50They have cheeseburgers and lobster.
00:23:53I, look, Ashton, um, there's something I have to tell you.
00:23:57Wait, how could I be so stupid?
00:24:01I keep making these reservations, and I never even asked about your feelings.
00:24:06I keep showing you my world, but you haven't even had a chance to show me yours.
00:24:10Forget the reservations.
00:24:12Let's go wherever you want.
00:24:15Um, okay.
00:24:28Mmm.
00:24:29Now this is food.
00:24:30Mmm.
00:24:38Is everything okay?
00:24:40Yeah.
00:24:41It's just, I don't do stuff like this often.
00:24:47You wouldn't believe it, but this is my first ever picnic.
00:24:50What?
00:24:51Like, not even as a kid?
00:24:52Between Latin, math, leadership class, we didn't really have time to be kids.
00:24:58Come on.
00:25:05Where are we going?
00:25:06Somewhere we can be kids again.
00:25:08You want me to do this?
00:25:13Uh-huh.
00:25:14Zoe, I'm a 28-year-old man in an $8,500 suit.
00:25:19I'm not kidding on that.
00:25:20That's crazy.
00:25:21I married someone I knew less than 30 hours.
00:25:24I think I get to decide what's crazy or not.
00:25:27What's that?
00:25:27Oh.
00:25:29This?
00:25:29Yeah, is it the dog?
00:25:30Is it your first time on a swing?
00:25:35No.
00:25:36Why would you think that?
00:25:37Oh my god, it is.
00:25:38Okay.
00:25:39Look, you're just going to have to trust me, okay?
00:25:41I'm not going to let you fall.
00:25:42Okay.
00:25:43Don't forget.
00:25:43When I was little, my sister used to push me so high.
00:25:50And I would just focus on the sky.
00:25:53Felt like I was flying.
00:25:55Wow.
00:26:00So, as you cross, what do you think about my world?
00:26:07It's chaotic, but wonderful.
00:26:13Hey, you two!
00:26:19This is clearly not the time or place.
00:26:21Children, God, get a room!
00:26:34You see anything you like?
00:26:37Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:26:39Now, that, I haven't seen before.
00:26:45I love what you've done with the place.
00:27:13None for me.
00:27:16Since when?
00:27:21Since...
00:27:21Holy shit, you're pregnant?
00:27:24Am I going to get to meet the guy before I leave town?
00:27:26It's complicated.
00:27:28He's complicated, and everything's happening so fast, and I'm scared that something might go wrong.
00:27:34You are happy, though, right?
00:27:36I just worry about you living here without me now.
00:27:39Zoe, I'm fine.
00:27:41I mean, I don't know, you're just rushing into this relationship, and now, motherhood adds so much stress.
00:27:46I'm in a really good place now.
00:27:49I've been doing this new therapy.
00:27:51Yeah, 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.
00:27:57Zoe, he loves me.
00:28:01I know he does.
00:28:02You'd be crazy not to.
00:28:19Audrey?
00:28:26No, Audrey, please!
00:28:27Zoe, are you okay?
00:28:30Yeah.
00:28:30Zoe.
00:28:32You're screaming.
00:28:34I am.
00:28:35I am.
00:28:36I am.
00:28:37I'm fine.
00:28:38I'm fine.
00:28:41I am.
00:28:45I'm fine.
00:28:47Are you sure?
00:28:53I had a sister.
00:28:55Our 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.
00:29:11Snacks and toys, you share everything.
00:29:14And my sister, she, um, she developed this habit that any time she felt like something was, like, hers, truly hers, she would, um, write her initials on it.
00:29:33She was all I had.
00:29:37And now that she's gone, I just feel like I don't have anything.
00:29:40And I totally understand.
00:29:51My dad was the only person alive who understood me.
00:29:56And after he died,
00:29:58I haven't had a real connection with anyone since.
00:30:02Anything remotely real,
00:30:04Xander would sabotage out of jealousy.
00:30:06Wait here.
00:30:10Wait here.
00:30:28Now I can have something that's actually yours again.
00:30:30You can't blame this all on your brother.
00:30:42You need to learn to control your anger.
00:30:46It's consuming you.
00:30:47If you're not asking, I'm not answering.
00:30:49You know this is the only way.
00:30:52It should be me and you know it.
00:30:53And he had the nerve to offer me an advisor position to the company you took away from me.
00:30:59You think I want to hand the company over to him?
00:31:09You're right, Xander.
00:31:10It should be you.
00:31:11But we have the board and the shareholders to convince.
00:31:15And they're blind.
00:31:17All they see is you in a wheelchair.
00:31:19Fuck the board!
00:31:20Fuck the shareholders!
00:31:21This is what I mean!
00:31:23The rage!
00:31:25You were once committed to getting better.
00:31:29We can get over what happened.
00:31:32But you have to want it.
00:31:34He doesn't deserve everything.
00:31:37Your father would have wanted you both to be happy.
00:31:40And that's all I want for you.
00:31:54Are you sure you're not coming?
00:31:56Do 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?
00:32:05Mmm...
00:32:06I'm good.
00:32:07Thank you, Thub.
00:32:08Hey, you better watch it.
00:32:10You're married to one of those rich snobby people now.
00:32:13Come on, Zoe.
00:32:15We'll find some way to have fun.
00:32:23Go.
00:32:25You'll be late.
00:32:27Fine.
00:32:28I'll have a car to pick you up if you change your mind.
00:32:34Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:32:46Audrey.
00:33:12Can you get the car ready, please?
00:33:15I am going to the gala.
00:33:16And, um, don't let Mr. Cross know I'm coming.
00:33:22I want it to be a surprise.
00:33:28Care to grab your brother a drink?
00:33:39Bye.
00:33:41So, how's the married life?
00:33:43And how's my sister-in-law?
00:33:45She's good.
00:33:45And, you know, this isn't really her thing.
00:33:49That's good.
00:33:50You know, I was worried about her.
00:33:52People are going to say what they're going to say, but she shouldn't let those rumors bother her.
00:33:57Rumors?
00:33:58What are you talking about?
00:33:59I took care of everything.
00:34:01This came out 30 minutes ago.
00:34:03An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell, showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:34:14The news confirms suspicions that Zoe is a ploy for Ashton to finally seize the throne of Cross Enterprise.
00:34:21I'm just glad that Zoe's not here to take the block.
00:34:32Zoe?
00:34:32You told me you barely knew her.
00:34:39What are you talking about?
00:34:40I'm talking about this book.
00:34:41That's Xander's book.
00:34:43Zoe, we've got something bigger going on right now.
00:34:45What do you mean it's Xander's book?
00:34:46How could he...
00:34:47Yeah, I can tell you're upset, but look at this.
00:34:53An anonymous source leaked the prenuptial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell, showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:35:01I know that this is a sham marriage, but I'm falling for you.
00:35:07And I want to protect us, protect you.
00:35:11I don't know why, but I believe you.
00:35:13I don't know if you're a psychopath or if everything I thought I knew was wrong.
00:35:21I don't know what's going on with you.
00:35:23I am falling for you, but these people, they're going to eat you alive.
00:35:27Well, I like to think I act fast under pressure.
00:35:33Zoe, wait!
00:35:38Zoe, what are you doing?
00:35:40Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:35:42I'm Zoe Cross.
00:35:45I'm sure you all know my husband, Ashton Cross.
00:35:48Now, I'm aware that many are questioning the authenticity of our marriage, and I'm here to confirm that it's true.
00:36:00Our marriage was a sham.
00:36:01I signed a prenup agreeing to marry Ashton because I thought that it would bring me wealth and fame, but I was wrong.
00:36:14It turned out to be so much more than that.
00:36:18He isn't just this spoiled rich kid, playboy, heartbreaker.
00:36:23Everything people say is just to sell stories.
00:36:30He's actually kinder and stronger and better.
00:36:36And I want him to know that I'm falling for him, too.
00:36:43And I want him to know that I want him to know how to repair together.
00:37:01No, no, no, no.
00:37:31I can feel you staring at me.
00:37:56I haven't felt like this in a while.
00:37:58I feel like myself.
00:38:04Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I don't recognize myself.
00:38:10When I see you, I see you.
00:38:17You promise?
00:38:21Cross my heart.
00:38:28Hey, Chad.
00:38:38Of course.
00:38:42What can I do for you?
00:38:43I know that you were the anonymous source
00:38:48And that you sent the press our marriage contract
00:38:50And I want to make a deal
00:38:52Why would I do something like that?
00:38:56It doesn't matter, and I don't care, but
00:38:58For whatever reason you're doing it, you're coming between Ashton and I
00:39:02You mean your scam of a marriage?
00:39:05It was, but it's real now
00:39:07I just want you and Ashton to repair this relationship
00:39:12So that we can all be happy
00:39:14What's your angle here?
00:39:16There's no angle, I just
00:39:18I'm going through my own trauma
00:39:20And there are a lot of things that I wish I could go back and
00:39:23Say differently to my sister
00:39:25I know
00:39:31You have a history, and I know that it's difficult
00:39:34But it's worth making amends
00:39:37Does he know I leaked this story to the press?
00:39:41No
00:39:41It's been through enough already
00:39:44Whatever hurt
00:39:54That you've caused each other
00:39:56Can be forgiven
00:39:58What if the things you've done aren't forgivable?
00:40:04The past doesn't matter
00:40:05Just what you do now matters
00:40:08You fell for him
00:40:11I got to know him
00:40:13Maybe you should too
00:40:16Maybe
00:40:20I really hope that you and your brother can work things out
00:40:39I'd like nothing more than to get closer to you, Zoe
00:40:47This is impossible
00:40:59This is important, Henry
00:41:08I need to know I can trust you on this
00:41:11Of course you can, Xander
00:41:13But why are you
00:41:14I don't need questions, Henry
00:41:16I need answers
00:41:17Don't worry
00:41:19I'll have the test results in 24 hours
00:41:22Good
00:41:22Call me when you have it
00:41:24And remember
00:41:26I was never here
00:41:27I know that you were the anonymous source
00:41:55Hey, I have the test results
00:42:00It's a perfect match
00:42:02So they're related
00:42:04It's more than that, Xander
00:42:05I said, perfect match
00:42:07The two DNA samples are identical
00:42:10I feel like I know you from somewhere
00:42:14Maybe another life
00:42:15They're twins
00:42:20Good morning, Mrs. Cross
00:42:47Is it about time?
00:42:48For cleaning?
00:42:50Yes, Mrs. Cross
00:42:51I come every Monday
00:42:52I can always come back
00:42:54No, come in
00:42:55I'll just go get a coffee
00:42:57It won't take long, Mrs. Cross
00:43:03I'm in
00:43:19This takes time, Xander
00:43:25I'm a private detective
00:43:28Not a sniffer dog
00:43:29I'll just go get a coffee
00:43:54If you're thinking of having one of those, I won't object.
00:44:13You handled the crisis. Wow.
00:44:16I was sure you'd run away with your tail between your legs.
00:44:20But you stayed.
00:44:21But what for?
00:44:26Now I know no one gets close to my sons without wanting something.
00:44:32The question is, what do you want?
00:44:46Voilà .
00:44:47You're right, Lauren. I think I did want something from Ashton, but I don't know that I want it now.
00:44:57I recognize that look on your face.
00:45:03It happened to me with Robert, Sander and Ashton's father.
00:45:10I fell in love with a man I hated.
00:45:13It was an arranged marriage, and I didn't want to be in it.
00:45:19I got to truly know him.
00:45:22And it changed me.
00:45:27Don't stare at me like that, Zoe.
00:45:30You might think I'm a witch whose heart is made of stone, but I still know what love is.
00:45:35You wanted to see me?
00:45:44Take a seat.
00:45:50What's up?
00:45:51I found something, and I think you should see this.
00:45:54She's Audrey's sister?
00:46:01She changed her identity, her face, just to get close to you.
00:46:05Why?
00:46:06Think about it, Ashton.
00:46:07She came into your life out of nowhere, three months after Audrey's death.
00:46:11She lied to you, married you, manipulated you, shared a bed with you.
00:46:16There's only one thing that drives people this far.
00:46:20Revenge.
00:46:22I'm sorry, little brother.
00:46:25Looks like it's time to wake up from this dream.
00:46:30You're just saying that because you want me to help run your precious company.
00:46:34Yes, I was Robert's wife, and his company is very important to me.
00:46:40But I'm also a mother.
00:46:45I can see Ashton cares about you more than the others.
00:46:51He has calmed his playboy antics.
00:46:55I can see he's a better person with you.
00:46:58There was one woman before, but she disappeared.
00:47:02Who knows why?
00:47:03She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being a cross.
00:47:07Love isn't logical, Zoe.
00:47:09And loving Ashton is probably the most illogical thing you could do.
00:47:13But that doesn't make it wrong.
00:47:15Wait.
00:47:20There was another woman?
00:47:22A serious relationship?
00:47:24What happened to her?
00:47:25Who knows, Zoe?
00:47:27He probably got sick of her like all the other girls.
00:47:30You're here now.
00:47:32She's gone forever.
00:47:34And for some reason, he likes keeping you around.
00:47:36So you're my only hope.
00:47:40Your only hope for what?
00:47:43A family legacy, Zoe.
00:47:45Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:47:50Ashton is the future of this company and this family.
00:47:54Xander's reign ended in that car accident.
00:47:56Everything is working according to plan.
00:47:59At least for Ashton.
00:48:01Ashton.
00:48:02You actually believe it?
00:48:18That I killed Audrey?
00:48:19I don't want to.
00:48:22But I see it now.
00:48:26The AC tattoo.
00:48:28The high profile lover.
00:48:31The pregnancy.
00:48:34It has to be you.
00:48:35There's no other explanation.
00:48:36Wait.
00:48:44Audrey was pregnant?
00:48:45You didn't know, did you?
00:48:52When you pushed her off the balcony?
00:48:55I never slept with Audrey.
00:48:58She was with someone else.
00:49:00Stop lying to me.
00:49:02You've been lying to me!
00:49:03I wanted to tell you.
00:49:05But how do you tell someone
00:49:07that you completely changed what you looked like
00:49:10to avenge your sister's death?
00:49:12You made me fall in love with you.
00:49:16And I fell in love with the man who murdered my Audrey.
00:49:20I didn't kill her, Zoe.
00:49:23I swear.
00:49:26Cross my heart.
00:49:35I really wish that it wasn't you.
00:49:50Would you believe me
00:49:51if I said I really did love you?
00:49:54Neither would I.
00:50:02Neither would I.
00:50:02Would go.
00:50:04By the way.
00:50:04Weeknd.
00:50:05Kindly.
00:50:06If I used to be a hoped-
00:50:23I don't know.
00:50:53Paternity test results.
00:51:23Xander, now's not a good time.
00:51:27Now is the perfect time.
00:51:28I know where Zoe is.
00:51:30I'll send you the address but you better hurry if you want to say goodbye.
00:51:36What are you talking about?
00:51:38Everyone has their tipping point, Ash.
00:51:41All I need to do is give her one tiny push.
00:51:47Xander, if you hurt her, I'll kill you.
00:51:52You've already done that, Ash.
00:51:54Two years ago.
00:51:57Xander.
00:51:59Xander.
00:52:06Paternity test results.
00:52:13A family legacy, Zoe.
00:52:15AC.
00:52:16Xander can't give me a grandchild but Ashton can.
00:52:20Xander calls.
00:52:21Xander calls.
00:52:22Xander calls.
00:52:23Xander calls.
00:52:25Xander calls.
00:52:26Xander calls.
00:52:27Xander calls.
00:52:36.
00:52:38.
00:52:47Um, he can't really dance.
00:52:49What do you mean he can't dance? You love dancing.
00:52:51He just doesn't, okay?
00:52:57Audrey betrayed me.
00:52:59What are you doing here?
00:53:01And so did Ashton.
00:53:03I guess some curses do run in the family.
00:53:08Get inside.
00:53:17Happy birthday.
00:53:27Oh, Xander.
00:53:29Wow.
00:53:31This is an amazing gift.
00:53:33But I was hoping that maybe I could ask for something else.
00:53:39Anything.
00:53:40Um, well, I was thinking that maybe it was time that we take our relationship public.
00:53:45So that we don't have to keep this a secret.
00:53:55You're pregnant.
00:53:57We're gonna have a baby.
00:54:01I never thought I'd come to this.
00:54:03But you're happy, right?
00:54:06Of course.
00:54:08So happy.
00:54:10I love you, Xander.
00:54:12I love you, Audrey.
00:54:14You're mine.
00:54:16Now and forever.
00:54:18Come on, help me out.
00:54:20Let me put this necklace on my future wife.
00:54:26Turn around.
00:54:27Turn around.
00:54:27Xander, what are you doing?
00:54:42I never told you.
00:54:43I never told you.
00:54:44Because I was ashamed.
00:54:46I can't have kids.
00:54:49You wanna fool me into being your crippled rich husband?
00:54:52Xander, please.
00:54:53I have proof.
00:54:55It's your baby.
00:54:57Our baby.
00:54:57Get inside.
00:55:04It was you.
00:55:10You killed Audrey.
00:55:12And you're the one who sent my DNA and my passport to Ashton.
00:55:17All of it was you.
00:55:20How did you know who I was?
00:55:21The day you came and visited me in my office,
00:55:24you hugged me the exact same way she did.
00:55:27The exact same way she did.
00:55:37Sentiments can really fuck things up, huh?
00:55:40And so you're gonna kill me now, too?
00:55:41No.
00:55:44I have a better plan for you.
00:55:46Zoe!
00:55:47No, no, Ashton, no, you can't come in.
00:55:49Please.
00:55:50Zoe, thank God.
00:55:52Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.
00:55:55I don't know about you,
00:55:56but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
00:56:00One more step and she's dead.
00:56:02It's not her fault what happened.
00:56:03It's mine.
00:56:04Don't worry about it.
00:56:06You're gonna get yours.
00:56:06I'm gonna have my payback.
00:56:08I'm gonna take back everything you took from me.
00:56:11My job, my title, my reputation.
00:56:15But in order to do that,
00:56:16I gotta make sure you never get in my way again.
00:56:21You see two sisters dying in the same apartment.
00:56:26That's gonna lead to suspicion.
00:56:28But if I can connect...
00:56:29Have you lost your mind?
00:56:30Let me fucking finish.
00:56:34If I can connect them to the same men...
00:56:39You killed Audrey?
00:56:40You did.
00:56:43Soon the B.C.U.O. turns out to be a maniac.
00:56:47Brutally killing his mistress and his wife.
00:56:50After he kills her, he turns himself in.
00:56:54Or puts the gun to his own head.
00:56:56I don't care.
00:56:57You choose, little brother.
00:57:00You can't get away with it.
00:57:01Of course I will.
00:57:02All I gotta do is convince the shareholders.
00:57:06You'd be surprised how quickly a bunch of lies can turn into the truth.
00:57:11But enough of that.
00:57:12We don't have all night.
00:57:13Ladies first.
00:57:15Xander, you don't have to do this!
00:57:16Shut the fuck up.
00:57:18Just shut the fuck up.
00:57:20Please.
00:57:22You're too late, little brother.
00:57:24Two years too late.
00:57:25You chose this.
00:57:28You could have lived your life with someone who truly loved you, but instead you murdered her.
00:57:31She never loved me.
00:57:32She had an AC tattoo!
00:57:34She loved you so much that she marked herself as yours!
00:57:37She betrayed me with another man!
00:57:40Did you not see the paternity test?
00:57:44It's all right here.
00:57:45If you kill me now, the police will come and they'll find me and they'll link me to Audrey
00:57:54and they'll know that you murdered her while she was pregnant with your baby!
00:57:58I'm fucking lying.
00:58:00You should have trusted Audrey.
00:58:03But you were so blinded by your jealousy and your anger that you killed someone who truly loved you.
00:58:15You're a liar, Zoe Campbell.
00:58:27And you're dead.
00:58:32Audrey Hale, mother, 99.9% match with Alexander Cross, father.
00:58:45Oh, Jesus.
00:58:48What have I done?
00:58:51What have I done?
00:58:54I'm so sorry, Audrey.
00:58:56So that we don't have to keep this a secret.
00:59:03You're pregnant.
00:59:04Yeah.
00:59:05We're gonna have a baby.
00:59:08I'm so sorry.
00:59:11No, no, no!
00:59:15I'm so sorry.
00:59:32I'm so sorry.
00:59:36Hey.
00:59:38Ready?
00:59:39Ready as I'll ever be.
00:59:40One, two, three, we're having a baby girl, I know the perfect name, Audrey, you want
01:00:10to swing?
01:00:12Don't let me fall, okay?
01:00:15Cross my heart.
01:00:16Ready?
01:00:17Ready?
01:00:18Okay.
01:00:19Here we go.
01:00:25How does it feel?
01:00:26Like I'm flying.
01:00:40I'm flying.
01:00:57Okay.
