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

00:54:24 (phone vibrates)
00:54:36 (dramatic music)
00:54:39 (sighs)
00:54:41 - Xander, now's not a good time.
00:54:46 - Now is the perfect time.
00:54:47 I know where Zoe is.
00:54:49 I'll send you the address, but you better hurry
00:54:53 if you wanna say goodbye.
00:54:56 - What are you talking about?
00:54:58 - Everyone has their tipping point, Ashton.
00:55:00 All I need to do is get you out of here.
00:55:04 All I need to do is give her one tiny push.
00:55:07 - Xander, if you hurt her, I'll kill you.
00:55:13 - You've already done that, Ashton.
00:55:17 Two years ago.
00:55:18 - Xander.
00:55:21 Xander.
00:55:23 - Paternity test results.
00:55:34 (paper rustles)
00:55:36 - A family legacy, Zoe.
00:55:40 - I see.
00:55:41 - Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:55:45 - Xander Cross.
00:55:46 Alexander Cross.
00:55:49 (keys jangle)
00:55:54 (door opens)
00:55:59 (door closes)
00:56:02 - Um, he can't really dance.
00:56:13 What do you mean he can't dance?
00:56:14 You love dancing, he just doesn't, okay?
00:56:17 - Audrey betrayed me.
00:56:22 - What are you doing here?
00:56:24 - And so did Ashton.
00:56:27 - I guess some curses do run in the family.
00:56:31 Get inside.
00:56:32 (soft music)
00:56:38 - Happy birthday.
00:56:53 - Oh, Xander.
00:56:54 Wow.
00:56:57 This is an amazing gift,
00:56:59 but I was hoping that maybe I could ask for something else.
00:57:05 - Anything.
00:57:06 - Well, I was thinking that maybe it was time
00:57:10 that we take our relationship public
00:57:13 so that we don't have to keep this a secret.
00:57:16 - You're pregnant.
00:57:22 - Yeah.
00:57:24 We're gonna have the baby.
00:57:27 I never thought it'd come to this.
00:57:29 - But you're happy, right?
00:57:32 - Of course.
00:57:33 So happy.
00:57:35 - I love you, Xander.
00:57:39 - I love you, Audrey.
00:57:42 You're mine, now and forever.
00:57:44 Come on, help me up.
00:57:46 Let me put this necklace on my future wife.
00:57:50 Turn around.
00:57:54 (soft music)
00:57:56 - Xander, what are you doing?
00:58:09 - I never told you because I was ashamed.
00:58:13 I can't have kids.
00:58:15 You wanna fool me into being your crippled rich husband?
00:58:19 - Xander, please.
00:58:20 I have proof.
00:58:22 It's your baby.
00:58:24 Our baby.
00:58:25 (screaming)
00:58:31 - Get inside.
00:58:36 - It was you.
00:58:45 You killed Audrey.
00:58:47 And you're the one who sent my DNA
00:58:50 and my passport to Ashton.
00:58:52 All of it was you.
00:58:53 How did you know who I was?
00:58:56 - The day you came and visited me in my office,
00:58:59 you hugged me the exact same way she did.
00:59:03 The exact same way she did.
00:59:05 Sentiments can really fuck things up, huh?
00:59:14 - And so you're gonna kill me now, too?
00:59:17 - No.
00:59:19 I have a better plan for you.
00:59:21 - Zoe!
00:59:22 - No, no, Ashton, no, you can't come in.
00:59:24 Please.
00:59:25 - Zoe, thank God.
00:59:27 - Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.
00:59:31 I don't know about you,
00:59:32 but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
00:59:35 Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.
00:59:42 I don't know about you,
00:59:43 but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
00:59:46 - One more step and she's dead.
00:59:48 It's not her fault what happened, it's mine.
00:59:50 - Don't worry about it.
00:59:52 You're gonna get yours, I'm gonna have my payback.
00:59:55 I'm gonna take back everything you took from me.
00:59:57 My job, my title, my reputation.
01:00:00 But in order to do that,
01:00:03 I gotta make sure you never get in my way again.
01:00:07 You see two sisters dying in the same apartment,
01:00:12 that's gonna lead to suspicion.
01:00:14 But if I can connect--
01:00:15 - Have you lost your mind?
01:00:16 - Let me fucking finish.
01:00:18 If I can connect them to the same men.
01:00:23 - You killed Audrey?
01:00:27 You killed Audrey?
01:00:33 - You did.
01:00:35 Soon the BCOO turns out to be a maniac,
01:00:39 brutally killing his mistress and his wife.
01:00:42 After he kills her, he turns himself in.
01:00:46 Or puts the gun to his own head, I don't care.
01:00:49 You choose, little brother.
01:00:51 - You can't get away with this.
01:00:53 - Of course I will.
01:00:54 All I gotta do is convince the shareholders.
01:00:58 You'd be surprised how quickly a bunch of lies
01:01:00 can turn into the truth.
01:01:03 But enough of that, we don't have all night.
01:01:05 Ladies first.
01:01:06 Xander, you don't have to do this.
01:01:14 - Shut the fuck up.
01:01:16 Just shut the fuck up.
01:01:18 Please, you're too late, little brother.
01:01:21 Two years too late.
01:01:23 - You chose this.
01:01:24 You could have lived your life with someone
01:01:26 who truly loved you, but instead you murdered her.
01:01:28 - She never loved me.
01:01:29 - She had an AC tattoo.
01:01:31 She loved you so much that she marked herself as yours.
01:01:34 - She betrayed me with another man!
01:01:37 - Did you not see the paternity test?
01:01:40 It's all right here.
01:01:45 (dramatic music)
01:01:47 If you kill me now, the police will come
01:01:49 and they'll find me and they'll link me to Audrey
01:01:52 and they'll know that you murdered her
01:01:53 while she was pregnant with your baby.
01:01:56 - You're fucking lying.
01:01:57 - You should have trusted Audrey.
01:02:01 But you were so blinded by your jealousy and your anger
01:02:05 that you killed someone who truly loved you.
01:02:10 (dramatic music)
01:02:13 (punching)
01:02:16 - Action!
01:02:17 (punching)
01:02:19 (panting)

01:02:28 And you're dead.
01:02:29 Audrey Hale, mother.

01:02:38 (dramatic music)
01:02:41 Alexander Gross, father.
01:02:44 Oh, Jesus.
01:02:47 What have I done?
01:02:50 What have I done?
01:02:53 I'm so sorry, Audrey.
01:02:55 - So that we don't have to keep this a secret.
01:02:59 - You're pregnant.
01:03:03 - Yeah.
01:03:05 We're gonna have the baby.
01:03:07 - I'm so sorry.
