00:00:00Hi, I'm Zoe Campbell. I'm here for my interview.
00:00:22Take a seat. We'll call you when he's ready.
00:00:24Oh, okay.
00:00:33I have an interview later, Mother.
00:00:35I swear. Ashton, you throw away assistants as if they have expiration dates printed on them.
00:00:40Don't worry. I won't take long.
00:00:43This is the third time this month.
00:00:45And every time it means thousands of dollars paid to shut up these blood-sucking flies on the wall.
00:00:52Come on. Boys just want to have fun.
00:00:55Not when you're taking over a publicly traded company in two weeks.
00:01:02You leave me no choice.
00:01:06You're not crossing me off the trust fund.
00:01:09I won't. If you get married.
00:01:12This company is your father's life's work. I'm not letting a weak link ruin it.
00:01:17I'm so sorry for interrupting.
00:01:25Um, thank you.
00:01:26Who did her hair? Do you think she even combed it this morning?
00:01:29No, she did not comb it. It's called a rat's nest.
00:01:32Oh, yes.
00:01:36This is bullshit.
00:01:37It can help redeem your image.
00:01:40It'll show the public that you've stopped screwing around and started acting like a necrona.
00:01:45I never wanted to be CEO.
00:01:46You know very well why it cannot be the same.
00:01:51Or do I have to remind you?
00:01:55No.
00:02:03You're the heir to the Cross family, Ashton.
00:02:06This is the hand you've been dealt with.
00:02:09Play it well.
00:02:11This company is your father's life's work.
00:02:14I'm so sorry for interrupting, but Jeff said he needed your signature in three minutes.
00:02:20Or we wouldn't be able to close the contract with Gabe from KNL.
00:02:24And he'd be really, really unhappy.
00:02:27Who are you?
00:02:28Pam from Marketing Strategies.
00:02:31Mrs. Cross, it's a pleasure to meet you.
00:02:33Thank you, Pam.
00:02:35Well, obviously, Pam and I have a lot of work to do.
00:02:38We'll talk about this another time.
00:02:41You're not off the hook, Ashton.
00:02:43I've gone through great lengths to set you up with some very worthy candidates.
00:02:47Remember, you have two weeks, and I want to see a ring.
00:02:54We're so sorry, Mr. Cross.
00:02:56We didn't mean to let this woman disturb you.
00:02:59Yeah, we're really sorry.
00:03:00We'll escort her out right away.
00:03:01Did I say I wanted her out?
00:03:04She's fine.
00:03:05She can stay.
00:03:06Go back to work.
00:03:08Okay.
00:03:11Now, go back to work.
00:03:12Okay.
00:03:20Zoe Campbell.
00:03:22Why did you just burst in here like that?
00:03:24I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but it sounded like you could use an escape from that conversation.
00:03:28And you came up with that whole story on the spot, just like that?
00:03:31I act fast under pressure.
00:03:39You're hired.
00:03:41Your first day starts right now.
00:03:44Didn't expect it to be so easy.
00:03:46But yes, I guess it all starts right now.
00:03:54I never said I was selling.
00:03:56Xander, wouldn't it make more sense if you didn't live in a penthouse?
00:04:02You'd also be closer to your PT, which Mother says is progressing.
00:04:07I wouldn't call taking five steps with a walker progressing.
00:04:11I should probably leave.
00:04:13Stay.
00:04:15I see my little brother has yet another young lady in his life.
00:04:18This is my new assistant.
00:04:20Her name is Zoe.
00:04:22I shall enjoy getting to know your acquaintance, Zoe.
00:04:25At least these next few months.
00:04:27Xander.
00:04:28I can fend for myself.
00:04:31What happened to you?
00:04:32Car accident.
00:04:33Our father died.
00:04:35Cross kingdom shattered overnight.
00:04:37What the press forgot to mention.
00:04:40You were there.
00:04:41In the accident.
00:04:44Can we discuss the apartment?
00:04:46This meeting has completely been derailed.
00:04:49Zoe, perhaps it's best if Xander and I continue alone.
00:04:59Wait, Zoe.
00:05:00That's what I'm telling you now.
00:05:03If he doesn't bend you over in one way, he'll break you in another.
00:05:08Really, Xander?
00:05:09Thank you for your concern.
00:05:12But the last thing you need to worry about is me falling for your brother.
00:05:16I assure you, you should be more afraid of me.
00:05:20Interesting.
00:05:22Xander, please.
00:05:23I'm only trying to help you.
00:05:29I don't know about you, but I could use a drink.
00:05:33Okay.
00:05:40I guess you could say that my relationship with my brother is improving.
00:05:44I mean, at least you're willing to work on it.
00:05:46I know my brother.
00:05:47And I know he's charming.
00:05:49Most of those women were in your position.
00:05:52Maybe Xander secretly wants to be close to you.
00:05:55Yeah.
00:05:56We don't have to talk about my brother.
00:05:58We're business.
00:06:00What should we talk about?
00:06:02You tricked my mother.
00:06:04And stood your own against Xander on the same day.
00:06:07That makes me a little curious.
00:06:11You know, they say curiosity is a dangerous thing.
00:06:15I'm not just another assistant you're going to go home with.
00:06:19I've had a lovely evening, though.
00:06:22And I'll see you tomorrow.
00:06:27I'm sorry.
00:06:29I'm sorry.
00:06:30I'm sorry.
00:07:00I'm sorry.
00:07:14Curiosity isn't enough.
00:07:16I need his trust.
00:07:19I've changed my face.
00:07:20I've come so far.
00:07:22There's no turning back.
00:07:24I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:07:27And I'll make him pay.
00:07:29I promise.
00:07:34I can't believe she left with Ashton last night.
00:07:37You know what they say, you sleep with the right person, you get the right job.
00:07:41Oh my god, you spilled coffee everywhere.
00:07:45That was so embarrassing.
00:07:47Excuse me, ladies.
00:07:49I'm afraid I need to confiscate your key cards and escort you out.
00:07:53Wait, what? Why?
00:07:55It was a direct order from Mr. Cross.
00:07:57He fired us?
00:07:59I mean, he can't do that.
00:08:01I believe he can.
00:08:03Now, are you packing your cell phones?
00:08:06I'm not sure.
00:08:08I'm not sure.
00:08:10I'm not sure.
00:08:12Now, are you packing yourself, or do you need a hand?
00:08:23You messed with the wrong person.
00:08:26You lost your job.
00:08:27I'm sorry.
00:08:41Zoe, get in. You're coming with me.
00:08:45Look, Mr. Cross, I appreciate what you did, but I can't be seen going home with you every night.
00:08:50It's unprofessional.
00:08:52Zoe, you're my assistant now.
00:08:54You're going to work when I need you to work.
00:08:55Or I can save us both the trouble and fire you right now.
00:09:0026 hours, that would be a record even for me.
00:09:08Can I at least ask where we're going?
00:09:11On a date.
00:09:13What?
00:09:16Can I at least ask where we're going?
00:09:19On a date.
00:09:21What?
00:09:23Mr. Cross, I can't do this.
00:09:26Relax, Zoe. This isn't for you. This is for me and a friend.
00:09:32You brought me on a date with another woman?
00:09:34Technically, three other women.
00:09:37Why would you do that?
00:09:39I trust your judgment. Tell me which one of these girls I should marry.
00:09:42I just love yachts. You know, you sail out from L.A. and the entire Atlantic Ocean is yours.
00:09:50The Pacific Ocean.
00:09:52What?
00:09:54Never mind, though. I actually don't own a yacht.
00:09:58But you're rich!
00:10:00I'm sorry, this is a deal breaker.
00:10:03Maybe you should just go for your assistant. She's all the maintenance.
00:10:08Babies, I mean, they're just so small.
00:10:11They're scrunchy and they look old, like old people.
00:10:14But they're little and they're babies and they don't know how to talk to you.
00:10:17And so they start screaming and they start crying and then they poop and it goes everywhere and they throw up.
00:10:22And honestly, it's the grossest thing I've ever experienced in my entire life.
00:10:26And not even that I experience babies because I've never been around babies.
00:10:29Other than the fact that I used to be a baby, I don't know.
00:10:31I think children are one of the most amazing gifts of life.
00:10:34And you are so funny, Ashton.
00:10:37I mean, the reality is just that babies would also get in the way of my social life.
00:10:41And I have very high standards for, like, living.
00:10:46And so...
00:10:48Don't you think that's kind of selfish?
00:10:51I'm being a realist.
00:10:53I'm being a realist.
00:10:55I'm being a realist.
00:10:57I'm being a realist.
00:10:58I'm being a realist.
00:11:00I'm being a realist.
00:11:02And you're joking, right?
00:11:04A man with your Playboy reputation?
00:11:07You're honestly telling me that you want to settle down and have children?
00:11:14You are so funny.
00:11:17You are so funny.
00:11:19My mother said that you study literature.
00:11:22Are you Red Fitzgerald?
00:11:24Who?
00:11:25Oh, no, I didn't go to school.
00:11:27Did I go to school with him?
00:11:29I don't think I went to school with him.
00:11:31No, no, no.
00:11:33Fitzgerald, the great Gatsby.
00:11:35I love Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:11:38I love him.
00:11:40I was at a party, and he was, like, so hitting on me.
00:11:43It was so crazy.
00:11:45He was so short.
00:11:47Everything's been taken care of.
00:11:49Have a great night, alright?
00:11:51Oh, you paid for it?
00:11:53Oh, really?
00:11:55Can you order another on your way out?
00:11:58Absolutely.
00:12:00Tell your mom I said hi. I miss her.
00:12:02Yes, I will do.
00:12:10Cheers.
00:12:14So, Fitzgerald, you want kids?
00:12:18I have to say, I did not expect that.
00:12:21Let me guess.
00:12:22You thought I was some playboy who didn't care about anything,
00:12:26just like everybody else.
00:12:28Truth is, when people misunderstand you,
00:12:32and enough misunderstand you,
00:12:35you slowly forget who you are, too.
00:12:40This place is amazing.
00:12:44Xander and I designed this place.
00:12:47Wow.
00:12:49You were close.
00:12:51Yeah.
00:12:53Until we weren't.
00:12:56Do you have any siblings?
00:12:58No.
00:13:01It's just me.
00:13:04You know,
00:13:06two years ago, it was actually me
00:13:08who was supposed to be on that flight to Zurich with my father.
00:13:11Not Xander.
00:13:13Sometimes I wish it was me.
00:13:16It was late at night.
00:13:20The car was headed to the airport.
00:13:25But I didn't show up.
00:13:29Xander was the heir.
00:13:33He was raised to take over the company.
00:13:38But I ruined him.
00:13:40You didn't ruin him.
00:13:42No one's meant to be one-sided.
00:13:43I am.
00:13:45No one's meant to be one thing.
00:13:47I mean, we all have a choice.
00:13:50Not in my world, Zoe.
00:13:52You saw for yourself.
00:13:54I can't even get married when I'd like.
00:13:57Well, maybe not when, but you get to choose who.
00:14:00That's the most important part.
00:14:09What if I chose you?
00:14:13What?
00:14:16You heard me.
00:14:19What?
00:14:22Zoe Campbell,
00:14:24will you marry me?
00:14:28This is a joke.
00:14:30You're joking.
00:14:32I've
00:14:34never been in a relationship.
00:14:36I've never been in a relationship.
00:14:38I've never been in a relationship.
00:14:40I've never been in a relationship.
00:14:41I've
00:14:43never been more serious.
00:14:45Listen, Eshen, you may be used to getting whatever you want whenever you want it.
00:14:49I don't want to marry you out of convenience.
00:14:52Zoe,
00:14:55women see me as a golden ticket to money and fame.
00:14:58My father's passed away.
00:15:00Xander sees me as competition, and my mother sees me as a pawn to save the family business.
00:15:05But you, Zoe, you actually see me
00:15:07for who I really am.
00:15:11That's good.
00:15:13You should have used that with some of your blind dates.
00:15:18I have to get married, or I'm crossed off the trust fund.
00:15:22Negotiate your price.
00:15:24I'll have it put together.
00:15:27I'll find out the truth about you, Audrey.
00:15:29And I'll make him pay.
00:15:42How do I look?
00:15:46The city's most eligible bachelor is off the market.
00:15:50My mom gets what she wants.
00:15:52The most able-bodied son
00:15:54takes the throne and keeps his trust fund.
00:15:57And today's your big day.
00:15:59I'll see you out there.
00:16:12This is cross.
00:16:16What a lovely bride you are.
00:16:18Ashton is a very lucky man.
00:16:24But you can cut the act with me, sweetheart.
00:16:27I know you and Ashton aren't really together.
00:16:31Well, if you really believe that, then why didn't you do something?
00:16:35I wanted to, at first.
00:16:38But then I realized
00:16:39you're actually perfect.
00:16:42Why didn't you do something?
00:16:44I wanted to, at first.
00:16:46But then I realized
00:16:49you're actually perfect.
00:16:51A working-class girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
00:16:55Pretty,
00:16:57but not too gorgeous.
00:17:01Sweet,
00:17:03but not too innocent.
00:17:06You're a real-life Cinderella.
00:17:09And the people love seeing a fairy tale come true.
00:17:14How do you know this will work?
00:17:16Because
00:17:19it worked for Robert and me.
00:17:23My husband built this empire,
00:17:25but he wouldn't have been able to rule it without me.
00:17:29And now it's your turn
00:17:31to stand next to Ashton on the throne.
00:17:34Support him.
00:17:36Help him.
00:17:38And play your part.
00:17:42I will, Mrs. Cross.
00:17:44Of course you will.
00:17:46And I intend to make sure of it.
00:17:56Stay with Ashton and you'll have everything you need.
00:18:00Title, money.
00:18:03Leave him,
00:18:05or harm him,
00:18:06whatever his company's name,
00:18:08in any way.
00:18:10And not only won't you see a single penny,
00:18:13but I
00:18:15will personally destroy you.
00:18:19Well, that's where you're wrong, Mrs. Cross.
00:18:22I don't want anything from him.
00:18:26I just want Ashton.
00:18:36I think it looks perfect.
00:18:39Don't you think so,
00:18:41Mom?
00:18:48The essence of marriage is love,
00:18:51trust, and honesty.
00:18:53Virtues that we as human beings share.
00:18:57Ashton Cross,
00:18:59do you take this woman to be your wedded wife?
00:19:02I do.
00:19:04Zoe Campbell,
00:19:06do you take this man to be your wedded husband?
00:19:09To cherish,
00:19:11for better, for worse,
00:19:13for richer, for poorer,
00:19:15until death do you part?
00:19:37Do you love me?
00:19:39Yes.
00:19:41I do.
00:19:44As a token of your vows,
00:19:46you may exchange your symbol of love.
00:19:58By the power vested in me,
00:20:00by God,
00:20:02I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:20:04You may kiss the bride.
00:20:06You may kiss the bride.
00:20:07You may kiss the bride.
00:20:09You may kiss the bride.
00:20:35Uh-oh.
00:20:36I don't like that look.
00:20:37There seems to be a competition going on
00:20:38about who can come up with the most humiliating article
00:20:41about Zoe Campbell.
00:20:43Zoe Campbell puts a ring on Ashton Cross
00:20:45a week after becoming his assistant.
00:20:47One can only imagine how good Mrs. Campbell is at
00:20:49impressing her boss.
00:20:54Why are
00:20:56you even reading that garbage?
00:20:58I'm just not used to seeing my name trending.
00:21:07Do you see something you like?
00:21:09Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:21:10Fine.
00:21:11How about you dress for dinner?
00:21:14I think you're fine.
00:21:16Right where you are.
00:21:38It's okay.
00:21:51Sorry.
00:21:55I've never felt like this before, Zoe.
00:21:59Look me in my eyes.
00:22:02Tell me you feel the same way.
00:22:03No way.
00:22:07This marriage is
00:22:09just a piece of paper.
00:22:12It's a contract.
00:22:13Nothing more.
00:22:17Okay.
00:22:22Ashton.
00:22:25What happened to the woman
00:22:27at your work who killed herself?
00:22:29Did you know her?
00:22:31Um.
00:22:32No, not really.
00:22:34I know that she was nice.
00:22:36I saw her in the office a few times.
00:22:37But that was it.
00:22:39Why are you asking?
00:22:41Nothing. I um
00:22:43saw it on the news.
00:22:45Thought it was sad.
00:22:46Just wanted to know what the deal was.
00:22:49Yeah.
00:22:52Don't worry about the articles.
00:22:53I'll have it taken care of.
00:22:55You won't see anything tomorrow.
00:22:58Yeah.
00:23:00No matter.
00:23:02Goodnight.
00:23:29That's right.
00:23:31Receiving more information
00:23:32about the deadly shooting
00:23:33that took place in New York
00:23:35involving two rival families
00:23:37heavily involved in the bomb.
00:23:39No names have been released yet.
00:23:41But we do know that the police
00:23:42are actively searching
00:23:43for suspects at the bomb
00:23:44including certain members
00:23:45of the well-known Saviano
00:23:47and Mancini family.
00:23:49We'll be sure to update everyone
00:23:50on that story
00:23:51as soon as we can.
00:23:53Back to you, Tom.
00:23:59We'll be sure to update everyone
00:24:00on that story
00:24:01as soon as we can.
00:24:02Back to you, Tom.
00:24:16I really hope it wasn't you.
00:24:25I need to get rid of it all.
00:24:29Okay.
00:24:33All right.
00:24:34Well, if I can't meet the guy
00:24:35you at least have to tell me
00:24:36something about him.
00:24:37What do you guys do?
00:24:38Do you go dancing?
00:24:40He can't really dance.
00:24:42What do you mean he can't dance?
00:24:43He loved dancing.
00:24:44He just doesn't, okay?
00:24:47Zoe!
00:24:50I'm the boss of the meeting
00:24:52and I'm taking you to lunch.
00:24:54I wasn't expecting you
00:24:55on so soon.
00:24:56Can a guy take his girl out
00:24:57on a date?
00:25:00Yeah.
00:25:02But...
00:25:04I feel like there's something
00:25:05you're not telling me.
00:25:12I feel like there's something
00:25:13you're not telling me.
00:25:19You're a cheeseburger girl,
00:25:20aren't you?
00:25:21Not a lobster girl.
00:25:22What?
00:25:23I'm taking you to lunch
00:25:24and
00:25:25I never really asked.
00:25:26Do you like cheeseburgers
00:25:27or do you like lobster?
00:25:32Oh.
00:25:33Sounds like we need to get
00:25:34some food in you pretty quick.
00:25:35Don't worry.
00:25:36I already made reservations
00:25:37at Hill Floor.
00:25:38They have cheeseburgers
00:25:39and lobster.
00:25:42Look, Ashton.
00:25:43There's something
00:25:44I have to tell you.
00:25:45Wait.
00:25:46How can I be so stupid?
00:25:48I keep making these reservations
00:25:50and I never even asked
00:25:52about your feelings.
00:25:53I keep showing you my world
00:25:54but you haven't even had a chance
00:25:55to show me yours.
00:25:57Forget the reservations.
00:25:59Let's go wherever you want.
00:26:01Um.
00:26:03Okay.
00:26:17Mmm.
00:26:18Now this is food.
00:26:25Wow.
00:26:28Is everything okay?
00:26:30Yeah.
00:26:31It's just...
00:26:34I don't do stuff like this often.
00:26:37You wouldn't believe it
00:26:38but this is my first ever picnic.
00:26:40What?
00:26:41Like not even as a kid?
00:26:42Between Latin, math,
00:26:44leadership class,
00:26:45we didn't really have time
00:26:47to be kids.
00:26:54Come on.
00:26:55Where are we going?
00:26:56Somewhere we can be kids again.
00:27:03You want me to do this?
00:27:05Uh-huh.
00:27:06Zoe.
00:27:07I'm a 28-year-old man
00:27:09in an $8,500 suit.
00:27:11I'm not kidding on that.
00:27:12That's crazy.
00:27:14I married someone
00:27:15I knew less than 30 hours.
00:27:16I think I get to decide
00:27:17what's crazy or not.
00:27:21This?
00:27:22Yeah, sit down.
00:27:25Is this your first time on a swing?
00:27:27No.
00:27:28Why would you think that?
00:27:29Oh my God, it is.
00:27:30Okay.
00:27:31Look, you're just gonna
00:27:32have to trust me, okay?
00:27:33I'm not gonna let you fall.
00:27:34Okay.
00:27:35Don't forget it.
00:27:39When I was little,
00:27:40my sister used to push me
00:27:41so high
00:27:42and I would just
00:27:43focus on the sky.
00:27:45Felt like I was flying.
00:27:47Wow.
00:27:52So...
00:27:54Ashton Kross.
00:27:56What do you think about my world?
00:27:59It's chaotic.
00:28:01But wonderful.
00:28:09Hey, you two!
00:28:11This is clearly
00:28:12not the time or place.
00:28:13Children!
00:28:14God, get a room!
00:28:25You see anything you like?
00:28:28Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:28:33Now that,
00:28:34I haven't seen before.
00:28:55F***.
00:29:04I love what you've done with the place.
00:29:07None for me.
00:29:09Since when?
00:29:11Since...
00:29:14Holy shit, you're pregnant?
00:29:16Am I gonna get to meet the guy
00:29:17before I leave town?
00:29:19It's complicated.
00:29:20He's complicated
00:29:22complicated and
00:29:23Everything's happening so fast, and I'm scared that something might go wrong. You are happy though, right?
00:29:29I just worry about you living here without me now. Zoey, I'm fine. I mean, I don't know you're just rushing into this relationship and now
00:29:38Motherhood adds so much stress. I'm in a really good place now. I I've been doing this new therapy
00:29:43Yeah
00:29:44But I mean you're rushing into a relationship with this guy that is gonna be the father of your child and I haven't even met him
00:29:50So he
00:29:53He loves me I know he does
00:29:59He loves me I know he does
00:30:03You'd be crazy not to
00:30:05Oh
00:30:28Zoey are you okay?
00:30:32You're screaming
00:30:35I'm fine. I'm fine.
00:30:45I'm fine. Are you sure?
00:30:53I had a sister
00:30:57Our parents died when we were young so
00:31:01you know
00:31:02Growing up in orphanages and foster homes. You never really feel like anything
00:31:09Belongs to you like snacks and toys
00:31:12You share everything
00:31:14and my sister she
00:31:17She developed this habit
00:31:19that anytime she felt like something was
00:31:22Like hers truly hers. She would um write her initials on it
00:31:32She was all I had
00:31:37And now that she's gone it's like I don't have it. I totally understand
00:31:52My dad was the only person alive who understood me and after he died I
00:32:00Haven't had a real connection with anyone since
00:32:03Anything remotely real Xander would sabotage out of jealousy
00:32:11Wait here
00:32:29Now you can have something that's actually yours again
00:32:33You
00:32:43Can't blame this all on your brother
00:32:45You need to learn to control your anger
00:32:48It's consuming you if you're not asking I'm not answering. You know this is the only way
00:32:54It should be me and you know it
00:32:57And he had the nerve to offer me an advisor position to the company you took away from me
00:33:02You think I want to hand the company over to him
00:33:11You're right Xander it should be you
00:33:15We have the board and the shareholders to convince and they're blind
00:33:20All they see is you in a wheelchair fuck the board fuck the shareholders. This is what I mean
00:33:25The rage
00:33:28You were once committed to getting better
00:33:32We can get over what happened
00:33:35But you have to want it
00:33:38He doesn't deserve everything your father would have wanted you both to be happy
00:33:43And that's all I want for you
00:33:55You
00:34:00Are you sure you're not coming
00:34:02Do I want to go to a charity gala that some be rich people hold just to feel better about buying three million dollar?
00:34:07mansions and not paying taxes
00:34:10Mmm. I'm good. Thank you though. Hey better watch it. You're married to one of those rich snobby people now
00:34:18Come on, Zoe
00:34:20We'll find some way to have fun
00:34:26You
00:34:29Go you'll be late fine. I'll have a car to pick you up if you change your mind
00:34:51Nothing I haven't seen before
00:34:55I
00:35:18Can you get the car ready, please I am going to the gala and um
00:35:25Don't let mr. Cross know I'm coming. I want it to be a surprise
00:35:35Care to grab your brother a drink
00:35:48So, how's the married life and how's my sister-in-law she's good, you know, this isn't
00:35:55Really her thing. That's good. You know, I was worried about her
00:35:59People are gonna say what they're gonna say, but she shouldn't let those rumors bother rumors
00:36:06What are you talking about? I took care of everything
00:36:09This came out 30 minutes ago
00:36:12An anonymous source leaked the pronuncial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell
00:36:18Showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage
00:36:22The news confirmed suspicions that Zoe is a ploy for Ashton to finally seize the throne of cross-enterprise
00:36:32I'm just glad Zoe's not here to take the blow
00:36:39Zoe
00:36:41You
00:36:47Told me you barely knew her. What are you talking about? I'm talking about this book. That's Xander's book
00:36:52So we we got something bigger going on right now. What do you mean? It's Xander's book. How did how could he?
00:36:57yeah, I can tell you're upset but
00:37:00look at this an
00:37:03Anonymous source leaked the pronuncial agreement between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell showing that this is a well-constructed
00:37:10I know that this is a sham marriage
00:37:14But I'm falling for you
00:37:16And I want to protect us protect you I
00:37:21Don't know why but I believe you
00:37:24You know if you're a psychopath or
00:37:27If everything I thought I knew was wrong
00:37:31I don't know what's going on with you. I am falling for you. But these people they're gonna eat you alive
00:37:36well, I
00:37:38Like to think I act fast under pressure
00:37:41I
00:37:43So we wait
00:37:49So, what are you doing good evening ladies and gentlemen
00:37:54I'm Zoe cross. I'm sure you all know my husband Ashton cross
00:37:59now I'm aware that many are questioning the authenticity of our marriage and
00:38:06I'm here to confirm that it's true
00:38:11Our marriage was a sham. I
00:38:15Signed a prenup agreeing to marry Ashton because I thought that it would bring me wealth and fame, but I was wrong
00:38:24It turned out to be
00:38:26So much more than that
00:38:29He isn't just this spoiled rich kid playboy
00:38:33heartbreaker
00:38:35Everything people say is just to sell stories
00:38:41He's actually kinder and stronger and better and
00:38:49I want him to know that
00:38:52I'm falling for him, too
00:39:10I
00:39:40I
00:40:08Can feel you staring at me
00:40:11I haven't felt like this in a while. I
00:40:15Feel like myself
00:40:19Sometimes
00:40:21When I look in the mirror, I don't recognize myself
00:40:25When I see you I see you
00:40:32You promise
00:40:35Cross my heart
00:40:41You
00:40:53Hey Chad, of course
00:40:58What can I do for you I
00:41:01Know that you are the anonymous source and that you sent the press our marriage contract. I
00:41:07Don't want to make a deal
00:41:10Why would I do something like that? It doesn't matter and I don't care but
00:41:15For whatever reason you're doing it. You're coming between Ashton. I
00:41:19Do you mean your scam of a marriage? It was but it's real now. I
00:41:25Just want you and Ashton to
00:41:27Repair this relationship so that we can all be happy
00:41:31What's your angle here? There's no angle. I just
00:41:34I'm going through my own trauma and
00:41:37There are a lot of things that I wish I could go back and say differently to my sister I
00:41:46Know
00:41:48You have a history and I know that it's difficult
00:41:51But it's worth making amends
00:41:54Does he know I leaked the story to the press
00:41:58It's been through enough already
00:42:07You
00:42:10Whatever hurt they've caused each other can be forgiven. What if the things you've done aren't forgivable?
00:42:20The past doesn't matter just what you do now matters
00:42:26You fell for him I got to know him maybe you should do
00:42:37Maybe
00:42:52I really hope that you and your brother can work things out
00:43:00I'd like nothing more than to get closer to you Zoe
00:43:06I
00:43:15This is that possible
00:43:24This is important Henry I
00:43:26Need to know I can trust you on this. Of course you can send her but why are you I don't need questions Henry
00:43:33I need answers
00:43:36Don't worry. I'll have the test results in 24 hours good
00:43:40Call me when you have it and remember I was never here
00:44:07I know that you were the anonymous source
00:44:18Hey, I have the test results
00:44:20It's a perfect match
00:44:22So they're related. It's more than that vendor. I said perfect match. The two DNA samples are identical. I
00:44:32Feel like I know you from somewhere maybe another life
00:44:37You
00:44:39They're twins
00:44:41You
00:45:05Good morning, mrs. Cross. Is it about time?
00:45:08For cleaning yes, mrs. Cross. I come every Monday. I can always come back. No, come in
00:45:15I'll just go get a coffee
00:45:21It won't take long mrs. Cross
00:45:38I'm in
00:45:44This stick times under I'm a private detective not a sniffer dog
00:46:07You
00:46:27If you're thinking of having one of those I won't object
00:46:33You handle the crisis Wow, I
00:46:36Was sure you'd run away with your tail between your legs, but you stayed
00:46:43But what for
00:46:47Now I know no one gets close to my sons without wanting something the question is what do you want?
00:47:06Wow
00:47:10What do you want
00:47:15You're right Lauren, I think I did want something from Ashton, but I don't know that I want it now I
00:47:26Recognize that look on your face
00:47:30It happened to me with Robert Sander and Ashton's father
00:47:35I fell in love with a man. I hated
00:47:40It was an arranged marriage and I didn't want to be in it I got to truly know him
00:47:47And it changed me
00:47:52Don't stare at me like that Zoe you might think I'm a witch whose heart is made of stone
00:47:58But I still know what love is
00:48:06You wanted to see me take a seat
00:48:15What's up, I found something and I think you should see this
00:48:24She's Audrey's sister she changed her identity her face just to get close to you
00:48:30Why think about it Ashton she came into your life out of nowhere three months after Audrey's death
00:48:35She lied to you married you
00:48:38Manipulated you shared a bed with you
00:48:41There's only one thing that drives people this far
00:48:45Revenge
00:48:47I'm sorry little brother looks like it's time to wake up from this dream
00:48:57You're just saying that because you want me to help run your precious company
00:49:01Yes, I was Robert's wife and his company is very important to me
00:49:07But I'm also a mother
00:49:11I can see Ashton cares about you more than the others
00:49:18He has calmed his playboy antics I
00:49:22Can see he's a better person with you
00:49:25There was one woman before but she disappeared who knows why she probably couldn't handle the pressure of being across
00:49:35There was one woman before but she disappeared who knows why she probably couldn't handle the pressure of being across
00:49:43Love isn't logical Zoe and loving Ashton is probably the most illogical thing you could do that doesn't make it wrong
00:49:55Wait
00:49:57There was another woman with a serious relationship what happened to her Oh Zoe
00:50:03You probably got sick of her like all the other girls
00:50:07You're here now she's gone forever and for some reason he likes keeping you around
00:50:15So you're my only hope your only hope for what a
00:50:20family legacy Zoe
00:50:22Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can
00:50:26Ashton is the future of this company and this family Xander's reign ended in that car accident
00:50:34Everything is working according to plan at least for Ashton
00:50:38I
00:50:51Shouldn't you actually believe it
00:50:55And I got Audrey I don't want to
00:51:00But I see it now
00:51:03The AC tattoo the high-profile lover
00:51:09Pregnancy it has to be you there's no other explanation
00:51:19Wait Audrey was pregnant you didn't know did you?
00:51:24When you pushed her off the balcony I never slept with Audrey she was with someone else
00:51:31Stop lying to me. You've been lying to me. I wanted to tell you
00:51:37But how do you tell someone?
00:51:39Now you completely change what you look like to avenge your sister's death. You made me fall in love with you
00:51:46I
00:51:49Murdered my Audrey I didn't kill her Zoe. I swear
00:51:58Cross my heart
00:52:18I
00:52:26Really wish that it wasn't you
00:52:32Would you believe me if I said I really did love you
00:52:43Neither would I
00:52:48I
00:53:18I
00:53:20I
00:53:46Paternity test results
00:53:50I
00:54:11Was not a good time that was the perfect time I know where Zoe is
00:54:16I'll send you the address but
00:54:18You better hurry if you want to say goodbye
00:54:22What are you talking about?
00:54:24Everyone has their tipping point. That's all I need to do is give her one tiny push
00:54:33Xander if you hurt her, I'll kill you. You've already done that
00:54:40Two years ago
00:54:43Xander Xander
00:54:48I
00:55:03See
00:55:08Xander cross
00:55:11Alexander
00:55:18I
00:55:34Can't really dance. What do you mean? He can't dance. You love dancing. He just doesn't okay
00:55:40I
00:55:44Audrey betrayed me
00:55:46What are you doing here? And so did Ashton I
00:55:51Guess some curses do run in the family
00:55:55Get inside
00:56:10I
00:56:14Happy birthday Oh
00:56:17Xander
00:56:18Wow
00:56:20This is an amazing gift
00:56:23But I was hoping that maybe I could ask for something else
00:56:28Anything?
00:56:30Well, I was thinking that maybe it was time that we take our relationship public
00:56:36So that we don't have to keep
00:56:39This a secret
00:56:44You're pregnant, yeah, we're gonna have the baby I
00:56:50Never thought it'd come to this but you're happy, right?
00:56:55Of course
00:56:58So happy I
00:57:01Love you Xander. I love you
00:57:05You're mine now and forever
00:57:08Come on, help me out. Let me put this necklace on my future wife
00:57:16Turn around
00:57:31Xander what are you doing? I never told you because I was ashamed
00:57:39You wanna fool me into being your crippled rich husband
00:57:45It's your baby
00:57:57Get inside
00:57:59It
00:58:06Was you you killed Audrey
00:58:11You're the one who sent my DNA and my passport to Ashton hell of it with you
00:58:17How did you know who I was there you came and visited me in my office
00:58:22You hugged me the exact same way she did
00:58:26the exact
00:58:28Same way she did
00:58:34Sentiments can really fuck things up, huh? And so you're gonna kill me now, too
00:58:39No, I
00:58:42Have a better plan for you
00:58:45No, no, I should know you can't come in. Please
00:58:50Welcome to the grand finale little brother. I don't know about you, but I'm dying to see how this all turns out
00:58:58One more step and she's dead. It's not her fault. What happened is mine. Don't worry about it
00:59:04You're gonna get yours. I'm gonna have my payback
00:59:07I'm gonna take back everything you took from me my job my title my reputation
00:59:13But in order to do that, I gotta make sure you never get in my way
