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. That 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 grown-up.
00:01:45I never wanted to be CEO.
00:01:46You know very well why you 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 K&L.
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.
00:03:07Go back to work.
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.
00:03:38You're hired.
00:03:40Okay.
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?
00:04:01You'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.
00:04:14I 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.
00:04:38What the press forgot to mention.
00:04:40You were there in the accident.
00:04:44Can we discuss the apartment?
00:04:46This meeting has completely been derailed.
00:04:50Zoe, 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 one way, he'll break you another.
00:05:09Really, Xander?
00:05:10Thank 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.
00:05:21Interesting.
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.
00:06:26Bye.
00:06:27I've had a lovely evening, though.
00:06:29And I'll see you tomorrow.
00:06:57Curiosity isn't enough.
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?
00:08:06Yes, sir.
00:08:12Now, are you packing yourself or do you need a hand?
00:08:23You messed with the wrong person, you lose your job.
00:08:40Zoe, get in. Come in with me.
00:08:44Look, 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.
00:09:26Black Zoe, this isn't for you. This is for me and a friend.
00:09:31You 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.
00:09:53What?
00:09:55Never mind, though. I actually don't own a yacht.
00:09:59But you're rich!
00:10:01I'm sorry, this is a deal breaker.
00:10:04Maybe you should just go for your assistant. She's all the maintenance.
00:10:08Okay.
00:10:10Babies, I mean, they're just so small.
00:10:13They're scrungy and they look old, like old people.
00:10:16But they're little and they're babies and they don't know how to talk to you.
00:10:19And so they start screaming and they start crying and then they poop and it goes everywhere and they throw up.
00:10:25Honestly, it's the grossest thing I've ever experienced in my entire life.
00:10:29And not even that I experience babies because I've never been around babies.
00:10:32Other than the fact that I used to be a baby, I just, I do not.
00:10:35Babies, like, at all.
00:10:37I think children are one of the most amazing gifts of life.
00:10:40And you are so funny, Ashton.
00:10:43I mean, the reality is just that babies would also get in the way of my social life.
00:10:48And I have very high standards for, like, living.
00:10:53And so...
00:10:55Don't you think that's kind of selfish?
00:10:58I'm being a realist.
00:11:00And you're joking, right?
00:11:01A man with your Playboy reputation?
00:11:04You're honestly telling me that you want to settle down and have children?
00:11:11You are so funny.
00:11:14You are so funny.
00:11:17My mother said that you study literature.
00:11:20Are you, uh, Red Fitzgerald?
00:11:22Who?
00:11:24Oh, no, I didn't go to school.
00:11:26Did I go to school with him?
00:11:28I don't think I went to school with him.
00:11:29No, no, no.
00:11:31Uh, Fitzgerald.
00:11:33The great Gatsby.
00:11:35I love Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:11:37I love him.
00:11:39I was at a party and he was, like, so hitting on me.
00:11:41It was so crazy.
00:11:43He was so short.
00:11:45It was so weird.
00:11:47Everything's been taken care of.
00:11:49Have a great night, alright?
00:11:51Oh, you paid for it?
00:11:52Yeah.
00:11:53Oh, really?
00:11:54Oh, thank you.
00:11:55Enjoy, let's go.
00:11:56Yeah.
00:11:57Where are we going?
00:11:58Okay.
00:12:00Tell your mom I said hi.
00:12:01I miss her.
00:12:02Okay.
00:12:09Absolutely.
00:12:10Cheers.
00:12:14So, um, Fitzgerald, you want kids?
00:12:18I have to say, I did not expect that.
00:12:21Let me guess.
00:12:23You 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,
00:12:33and enough misunderstand you,
00:12:35you slowly forget who you are, too.
00:12:40This place is amazing.
00:12:45Xander 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.
00:13:03You know,
00:13:05two years ago it was actually me
00:13:07who was supposed to be on that flight to Zurich with my father,
00:13:10not Xander.
00:13:13Sometimes I wish it was me.
00:13:18It was late at night.
00:13:22The 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 thing.
00:13:44I mean, we all have a choice.
00:13:48Not in my world, Zoe.
00:13:50You saw for yourself.
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.
00:14:08What if I chose you?
00:14:18What if I chose you?
00:14:22What?
00:14:25You heard me.
00:14:31Zoe Campbell,
00:14:34will you marry me?
00:14:37This is a joke.
00:14:39You're joking.
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.
00:14:48I don't want to marry you out of convenience.
00:14:51Zoe,
00:14:54women see me as a golden ticket to money and fame.
00:14:57My father's passed away.
00:14:59Xander sees me as competition and my mother sees me as a pawn to save the family business.
00:15:04But you, Zoe, you actually see me for who I really am.
00:15:10That's good.
00:15:12You 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?
00:15:44The city's most eligible bachelor is off the market.
00:15:48My mom gets what she wants.
00:15:50Most able-bodied son
00:15:52takes the throne and keeps his trust fund.
00:15:55And today's your big day.
00:15:57See you out there.
00:16:10This is cross.
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.
00:18:53The virtues 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?
00:19:37Yes,
00:19:39I do.
00:19:42As a token of your vows,
00:19:45you may exchange your symbol of love.
00:19:57By the power vested in me,
00:19:59by God,
00:20:01I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:20:04You may kiss the bride.
00:20:35Uh oh,
00:20:36what's that look?
00:20:38There seems to be a competition going on called
00:20:40who can come up with the most humiliating article
00:20:42about Zoe Campbell.
00:20:44Zoe Campbell puts a ring on Ashton Cross
00:20:46a week after becoming his assistant.
00:20:48One can only imagine how good Mrs. Campbell
00:20:50is at impressing her boss.
00:20:55Why are
00:20:57you even reading that garbage?
00:20:59I'm just not used to seeing my name trending.
00:21:06See something you like?
00:21:08Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:21:10Fine, I'll make you a dress for dinner.
00:21:12Uh, I think you're fine.
00:21:15Right where you are.
00:21:37Sorry.
00:21:40I've never felt like this
00:21:42before Zoe.
00:21:44Look me in my eyes.
00:21:47Tell me you feel the same way.
00:21:51I'm sorry.
00:21:53I'm sorry.
00:21:55I'm sorry.
00:21:57I'm sorry.
00:21:59I'm sorry.
00:22:01I'm sorry.
00:22:03I'm sorry.
00:22:04I'm sorry.
00:22:07This marriage is
00:22:09just a piece of paper.
00:22:12It's a contract.
00:22:14Nothing more.
00:22:18Okay.
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,
00:22:38but 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.
00:22:47Just wanted to know what the deal was.
00:22:49Yeah.
00:22:51Don't worry about the articles.
00:22:53I'll have it taken care of.
00:22:55You won't see anything tomorrow.
00:22:59Yeah.
00:23:00Don't mention it.
00:23:02Good night.
00:23:31Receiving more information
00:23:33about the deadly shooting that took place
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
00:23:43are actively searching for suspects at large,
00:23:45including certain members of the well-known
00:23:47Saviano and Mancini families.
00:23:49We'll be sure to update everyone on that story
00:23:51as soon as we can.
00:23:53Back to you, Tom.
00:23:54Back to you, Tom.
00:23:56Back to you, Tom.
00:23:58Back to you, Tom.
00:24:00Back to you, Tom.
00:24:02Back to you, Tom.
00:24:16I really hope it wasn't you.
00:24:24I need to get rid of it all.
00:24:32Alright, well, if I can't meet the guy,
00:24:34you at least have to tell me something about him.
00:24:36What 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?
00:24:44He loved dancing.
00:24:46He just doesn't, okay?
00:24:48Zoe!
00:24:50I'm blocking the meeting,
00:24:52and I'm taking you to lunch.
00:24:54I wasn't expecting you on so soon.
00:24:56Oh, can a guy take his girl out on a date?
00:25:00Yeah.
00:25:02But,
00:25:04I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:25:12I feel like there's something you're not telling me.
00:25:19You're a cheeseburger girl, aren't you?
00:25:21Not a lobster girl?
00:25:22What?
00:25:24I'm taking you to lunch,
00:25:26and I never really asked.
00:25:28Do you like cheeseburgers, or do you like lobster?
00:25:33Oh, sounds like we need to get some food in you pretty quick.
00:25:36Don't worry.
00:25:38I already made reservations at Il Flore.
00:25:40They have cheeseburgers and lobster.
00:25:43Look, Ashton,
00:25:45there's something I have to tell you.
00:25:47Wait.
00:25:49How can I be so stupid?
00:25:50I made these reservations,
00:25:52and I never even asked about your feelings.
00:25:54I keep showing you my world,
00:25:56but you haven't even had a chance to show me yours.
00:25:58Forget the reservations.
00:26:00Let's go wherever you want.
00:26:02Um,
00:26:04okay.
00:26:06Mmm.
00:26:08Now this is food.
00:26:16Is everything okay?
00:26:18Yeah.
00:26:20It's just...
00:26:23I don't do stuff like this.
00:26:25I don't know what to do.
00:26:27I don't know what to do.
00:26:29I don't know what to do.
00:26:31I don't know what to do.
00:26:33I don't know what to do.
00:26:35I don't do stuff like this often.
00:26:37You wouldn't believe it but this is my first ever picnic.
00:26:40What?
00:26:42Like not even as a kid?
00:26:44Between Latin, math, leadership class,
00:26:46we didn't really have time to be kids.

00:30:27Zoe are you okay?
00:30:29Zoe?
00:30:31You're screaming
00:30:33I am
00:30:35I'm... I'm fine.
00:30:37I'm fine.
00:30:44I'm fine.
00:30:45Are you sure?
00:30:52I had a sister.
00:30:56Our parents died when we were young, so...
00:31:00You know, growing up in orphanages and foster homes,
00:31:05you never really feel like anything belongs to you.
00:31:09Snacks and toys, you share everything.
00:31:14And my sister, she, um...
00:31:17She developed this habit that any time she felt like something was, like, hers,
00:31:23truly hers, she would, um, write her initials on it.
00:31:31She was all I had.
00:31:36And now that she's gone, it's like I don't have anything.
00:31:40I totally understand.
00:31:52My dad was the only person alive who understood me.
00:31:56And after he died, I haven't had a real connection with anyone since.
00:32:03Anything remotely real, Xander would sabotage out of jealousy.
00:32:11Wait here.
00:32:27Now you can have something that's actually yours again.
00:32:42You can't blame this all on your brother.
00:32:45You need to learn to control your anger.
00:32:48It's consuming you.
00:32:50If you're not asking, I'm not answering.
00:32:52You know this is the only way.
00:32:54It should be me and you know it.
00:32:56And he had the nerve to offer me an advisor position to the company you took away from me.
00:33:01You think I want to hand the company over to him?
00:33:11You're right, Xander. It should be you.
00:33:14When we have the board and the shareholders to convince, and they're blind,
00:33:19all they see is you in a wheelchair.
00:33:21Fuck the board! Fuck the shareholders!
00:33:23This is what I mean!
00:33:25The rage!
00:33:27You were once committed to getting better.
00:33:31We can get over what happened.
00:33:34But you have to want it.
00:33:37He doesn't deserve everything.
00:33:39Your father would have wanted you both to be happy.
00:33:43And that's all I want for you.
00:33:54Are you sure you're not coming?
00:34:01Do I want to go to a charity gala that snobby rich people hold
00:34:05just to feel better about buying three million dollar mansions and not paying taxes?
00:34:09I'm good. Thank you, though.
00:34:13Hey, you better watch it.
00:34:15You're married to one of those rich snobby people now.
00:34:17Come on, Zoe.
00:34:19We'll find some way to have fun.
00:34:23Go.
00:34:25You'll be late.
00:34:27Fine.
00:34:29I'll have a car to pick you up if you change your mind.
00:34:46Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:34:50Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:35:06Audrey.
00:35:09Audrey.
00:35:18Can you get the car ready, please?
00:35:20I am going to the gala.
00:35:22And, um, don't let Mr. Cross know I'm coming.
00:35:27I want it to be a surprise.
00:35:31Care to grab your brother a drink?
00:35:43Okay.
00:35:45So, how's the married life?
00:35:47And how's my sister-in-law?
00:35:49She's good.
00:35:51You know, this isn't really her thing.
00:35:53That's good.
00:35:55You know, I was worried about her.
00:35:57People are going to say what they're going to say,
00:35:59but she shouldn't let those rumors bother her.
00:36:02Rumors?
00:36:04What are you talking about?
00:36:05I took care of everything.
00:36:07This came out 30 minutes ago.
00:36:10An anonymous source leaked the pronuncial agreement
00:36:13between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell,
00:36:16showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:36:20The news confirmed suspicions that Zoe is a ploy for Ashton
00:36:23to finally seize the throne.
00:36:26Seize the throne of Cross Enterprise.
00:36:32I'm just glad Zoe's not here to take the blowout.
00:36:39Zoe?
00:36:47You told me you barely knew her.
00:36:49What are you talking about?
00:36:50I'm talking about this book.
00:36:51That's Zander's book.
00:36:52Zoe, we've got something bigger going on right now.
00:36:54What do you mean it's Zander's book?
00:36:55How could he...
00:36:57Yeah, I can tell you're upset, but...
00:37:00Look at this.
00:37:02An anonymous source leaked the pronuncial agreement
00:37:05between real estate mogul Ashton Cross and Zoe Campbell,
00:37:08showing that this is a well-constructed fake marriage.
00:37:11I know that this is a sham marriage.
00:37:13But I'm falling for you.
00:37:16And I want to protect us.
00:37:18Protect you.
00:37:20I don't know why, but I believe you.
00:37:24I don't know if you're a psychopath or...
00:37:27if everything I thought I knew was wrong.
00:37:30I don't know what's going on with you.
00:37:32I am falling for you, but these people,
00:37:34they're going to eat you alive.
00:37:36Well, I like to think I act fast under pressure.
00:37:42Zoe, wait!
00:37:48Zoe, what are you doing?
00:37:50Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:37:53I'm Zoe Cross.
00:37:55I'm sure you all know my husband, Ashton Cross.
00:37:58Now, I'm aware that many are questioning
00:38:02the authenticity of our marriage,
00:38:04and I'm here to confirm that it's true.
00:38:09Our marriage was a sham.
00:38:14I signed a prenup agreeing to marry Ashton
00:38:17because I thought that it would bring me wealth and fame,
00:38:21but I was wrong.
00:38:24It turned out to be so much more than that.
00:38:28He isn't just this spoiled rich kid,
00:38:31playboy, heartbreaker.
00:38:34Everything people say is just to sell stories.
00:38:40He's actually kinder
00:38:44and stronger and better,
00:38:48and I want him to know that I'm falling for him, too.
00:39:18LAUGHS
00:39:49Okay.
00:40:07I can feel you staring at me.
00:40:10I haven't felt like this in a while.
00:40:14I feel like myself.
00:40:18Sometimes, when I look in the mirror,
00:40:22I don't recognize myself.
00:40:25When I see you, I see you.
00:40:31You promise?
00:40:34Cross my heart.
00:40:49DOOR KNOCKS
00:40:52May I chat?
00:40:54Of course.
00:40:57What can I do for you?
00:41:00I know that you were the anonymous source
00:41:03and that you sent the press our marriage contract.
00:41:06I don't want to make a deal.
00:41:09Why would I do something like that?
00:41:11It doesn't matter, and I don't care,
00:41:14but for whatever reason you're doing it,
00:41:16you're coming between Ashton and I.
00:41:18Do you mean your scam of a marriage?
00:41:21It was, but it's real now.
00:41:24I just want you and Ashton to repair this relationship
00:41:28so that we can all be happy.
00:41:30What's your angle here?
00:41:32There's no angle. I just...
00:41:34I'm going through my own trauma,
00:41:36and there are a lot of things that I wish I could go back
00:41:39and say differently to my...
00:41:43I know you have a history,
00:41:47and I know that it's difficult,
00:41:49but it's worth making amends.
00:41:52Does he know I leaked the story to the press?
00:41:55I don't know.
00:41:57He's been through enough already.
00:42:01Whatever hurt that you've caused each other
00:42:05can be forgiven.
00:42:07What if the things you've done aren't forgivable?
00:42:12The past doesn't matter.
00:42:14Just what you do now matters.
00:42:18You fell for him.
00:42:20I got to know him.
00:42:23I'm sorry.
00:42:26You fell for him.
00:42:28I got to know him.
00:42:31Maybe you should, too.
00:42:36Maybe.
00:42:39Maybe.
00:42:53I 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.
00:43:10This is impossible.
00:43:20This is important, Henry.
00:43:22I need to know I can trust you on this.
00:43:24Of course you can, Xander, but why are you...
00:43:27I don't need questions, Henry. I need answers.
00:43:31Don't worry.
00:43:33I'll have the test results in 24 hours.
00:43:36Good. Call me when you have it.
00:43:39And remember, I was never here.
00:44:07I know that you were the anonymous source.
00:44:17Hey, I have the test results.
00:44:19It's a perfect match.
00:44:21So they're related.
00:44:23It's more than that, Xander. I said, perfect match.
00:44:26The two DNA samples are identical.
00:44:29I feel like I know you from somewhere.
00:44:32Maybe another life.
00:44:36They're twins.
00:44:39They're twins.
00:45:05Good morning, Mrs. Cross. Is it about time?
00:45:08For cleaning?
00:45:10Yes, Mrs. Cross. I come every Monday.
00:45:13I can always come back.
00:45:15No, come in. I'll just go get a coffee.
00:45:21It won't take long, Mrs. Cross.
00:45:38I'm in.
00:45:44This takes time, Xander.
00:45:46I'm a private detective, not a sniffer dog.
00:46:09Jackpot.
00:46:22If you're thinking of having one of those, I won't object.
00:46:28You handled the crisis well.
00:46:31I was sure you'd run away with your child.
00:46:34But you stayed.
00:46:36But what for?
00:46:39Now, I know no one gets close to my sons without wanting something.
00:46:44The question is, what do you want?
00:46:49Voila.
00:46:53What do you want?
00:46:58You're right, Lauren. I think I did want something from my son.
00:47:02But I don't know what it is.
00:47:05I don't know what it is.
00:47:07I don't know what it is.
00:47:09I don't know what it is.
00:47:11I don't know what it is.
00:47:13I don't know what it is.
00:47:15You're right, Lauren. I think I did want something from Ashton, but...
00:47:20I don't know that I want it now.
00:47:25I recognize that look on your face.
00:47:30It happened to me with Robert, Xander and Ashton's father.
00:47:35I fell in love with a man I hated.
00:47:39It was an arranged marriage, and I didn't want to be in it.
00:47:44I got to truly know him, and it changed me.
00:47:51Don't stare at me like that, Zoe.
00:47:54You might think I'm a witch whose heart is made of stone,
00:47:58but I still know what love is.
00:48:07You wanted to see me?
00:48:09Take a seat.
00:48:15What's up?
00:48:16I found something, and I think you should see this.
00:48:24She's Audrey's sister?
00:48:25She changed her identity, her face, just to get close to you.
00:48:29Why?
00:48:30Think 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, manipulated you, shared a bed with you.
00:48:40There's only one thing that drives people this far.
00:48:44Revenge.
00:48:47I'm sorry, little brother.
00:48:49Looks like it's time to wake up from this dream.
00:48:56You're just saying that because you want me to help run your precious company.
00:49:00Yes, I was Robert's wife, and his company is very important to me.
00:49:06But I'm also a mother.
00:49:11I can see Ashton cares about you more than the others.
00:49:17He has calmed his playboy antics.
00:49:21I can see he's a better person with you.
00:49:25There was one woman before, but she disappeared.
00:49:28Who knows why?
00:49:30She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being across.
00:49:35There was one woman before, but she disappeared.
00:49:38Who knows why?
00:49:39She probably couldn't handle the pressure of being across.
00:49:43Love isn't logical, Zoe.
00:49:45And loving Ashton is probably the most illogical thing you could do.
00:49:49But that doesn't make it wrong.
00:49:54Wait.
00:49:57There was another woman? A serious relationship? What happened to her?
00:50:01Who knows, Zoe?
00:50:03You probably got sick of her like all the other girls.
00:50:07You're here now. She's gone forever.
00:50:10And for some reason, he likes keeping you around.
00:50:15So you're my only hope.
00:50:17Your only hope for what?
00:50:19A family 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.
00:50:30Xander's reign ended in that car accident.
00:50:34Everything is working according to plan.
00:50:36At least for Ashton.
00:50:42What?
00:50:50Ashton?
00:50:52You actually believe it?
00:50:55That I killed Audrey?
00:50:57I don't want to.
00:50:59But I see it now.
00:51:03The AC tattoo.
00:51:05The high-profile lover.
00:51:08The pregnancy.
00:51:10It has to be you. There's no other explanation.
00:51:19Wait. Audrey was pregnant?
00:51:22You didn't know, did you?
00:51:25No.
00:51:31When you pushed her off the balcony?
00:51:33I never slept with Audrey.
00:51:36She was with someone else.
00:51:38Stop lying to me.
00:51:40You've been lying to me!
00:51:42I wanted to tell you.
00:51:44But how do you tell someone?
00:51:46That you completely changed what you looked like to avenge your sister's death?
00:51:50You made me fall in love with you.
00:51:54And I fell in love with the man who murdered my Audrey.
00:51:59I didn't kill her, Zoe.
00:52:01I swear.
00:52:05Cross my heart.
00:52:25I really 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.
00:52:54I love you.
00:53:24I love you.
00:53:45Paternity test results.
00:53:55Phone vibrates.
00:54:09Xander, now's not a good time.
00:54:12Now is the perfect time.
00:54:14I know where Zoe is.
00:54:16I'll send you the address, but you better hurry if you want to say goodbye.
00:54:21What are you talking about?
00:54:23Everyone has their tipping point, Ashton.
00:54:26All I need to do is give her one tiny push.
00:54:32Xander, if you hurt her, I'll kill you.
00:54:37You've already done that, Ashton.
00:54:39Two years ago.
00:54:42Xander.
00:54:44Xander.
00:54:53Paternity test results.
00:55:00A family legacy, Zoe.
00:55:02AC.
00:55:04Xander can't give me a grandchild, but Ashton can.
00:55:07Xander Cross.
00:55:10Alexander Cross.
00:55:23Xander Cross.
00:55:34He can't really dance.
00:55:36What do you mean he can't dance? He loved dancing.
00:55:38He just doesn't, okay?
00:55:44Audrey betrayed me.
00:55:46What are you doing here?
00:55:48And so did Ashton.
00:55:50I guess some curses do run in the family.
00:55:54Get inside.
00:56:13Happy birthday.
00:56:15Oh, Xander.
00:56:18Wow, this is an amazing gift.
00:56:22But I was hoping that maybe I could ask for something else.
00:56:27Anything.
00:56:29Well, I was thinking that maybe it was time that we take our relationship public.
00:56:35So that we don't have to keep this a secret.
00:56:44You're pregnant.
00:56:46We're gonna have the baby.
00:56:50I never thought it'd come to this.
00:56:52But you're happy, right?
00:56:55Of course.
00:56:57So happy.
00:57:00I love you, Xander.
00:57:02I love you, Audrey.
00:57:04You're mine.
00:57:06Now and forever.
00:57:08Come on, help me up.
00:57:09Let me put this necklace on my future wife.
00:57:13Turn around.
00:57:28Xander, what are you doing?
00:57:30I never told you.
00:57:32Because I was ashamed.
00:57:34I can't have kids.
00:57:36You want to fool me into being your crippled rich husband?
00:57:39You want to fool me into being your crippled rich husband?
00:57:41Xander, please.
00:57:43I have proof.
00:57:44It's your baby.
00:57:46Our baby.
00:57:57Get inside.
00:58:06It was you.
00:58:08You killed Audrey.
00:58:11And you're the one who sent my DNA and my passport to Ashton.
00:58:14All of it was you.
00:58:16How did you know who I was?
00:58:18The day you came and visited me in my office.
00:58:21You hugged me the exact same way she did.
00:58:25The exact same way she did.
00:58:33Sentiments can really fuck things up, huh?
00:58:36And so you're going to kill me now too?
00:58:39No.
00:58:41I have a better plan for you.
00:58:43Zoe!
00:58:44No, no, Ashton, no, you can't come in.
00:58:46Please.
00:58:47Zoe, thank God.
00:58:49Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.
00:58:53I don't know about you, but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
00:59:00Welcome to the grand finale, little brother.
00:59:04I don't know about you, but I'm dying to see how this all turns out.
00:59:08One more step and she's dead.
00:59:10It's not her fault what happened, it's mine.
00:59:12Don't worry about it.
00:59:14You're going to get yours, I'm going to have my payback.
00:59:17I'm going to take back everything you took from me.
00:59:19My job, my title, my reputation.
00:59:23But in order to do that, I got to make sure you never get in my way again.
00:59:30You see two sisters dying in the same apartment?
00:59:34That's going to lead to suspicion.
00:59:36But if I can connect them...
00:59:37Have you lost your mind?
00:59:38Let me fucking finish.
00:59:42If I can connect them to the same men...
00:59:47You killed Audrey?
00:59:53You killed Audrey?
00:59:55You did.
00:59:57Adam the B.C.U.O. turns out to be a maniac.
01:00:01Brutally killing his mistress and his wife.
01:00:04After he kills her, he turns himself in.
01:00:08Or puts the gun to his own head, I don't care.
01:00:11You choose, little brother.
01:00:13You can't get away with this.
01:00:15Of course I will.
01:00:17All I got to do is convince the shareholders.
01:00:20You'd be surprised how quickly a bunch of lies can turn into the truth.
01:00:25But enough of that, we don't have all night.
01:00:27Ladies first.
01:00:34Xander, you don't have to do this.
01:00:35Shut the fuck up.
01:00:37Just shut the fuck up.
01:00:39Please.
01:00:41You're too late, little brother.
01:00:43Two years too late.
01:00:45You chose this.
01:00:47You could have lived your life with someone who truly loved you, but instead you murdered her.
01:00:50She never loved me.
01:00:51She had an A.C. tattoo.
01:00:53She loved you so much that she marked herself as yours.
01:00:55She betrayed me with another man.
01:00:58Did you not see the paternity test?
01:01:03It's all right here.
01:01:08If you kill me now, the police will come and they'll find me.
01:01:12And they'll link me to Audrey and they'll know that you murdered her while she was pregnant with your baby.
01:01:17You're fucking lying.
01:01:19You should have trusted Audrey.
01:01:22But you were so blinded by your jealousy and your anger that you killed someone who truly loved you.
01:01:37Action!
01:01:47You're a liar, Zoe Campbell.
01:01:49And you're dead.
01:01:54Audrey Hale.
01:01:56Mother.
01:01:5899.9% match with...
01:02:04Alexander Gross.
01:02:06Father.
01:02:08Oh, Jesus.
01:02:10What have I done?
01:02:13What have I done?
01:02:15I'm so sorry, Audrey.
01:02:17So that we don't have to keep this a secret.
01:02:23You're pregnant.
01:02:25Yeah.
01:02:26We're gonna have the baby.
01:02:29I'm so sorry.
01:02:33No, no, no!
01:02:47I love you.
01:03:03Ready?
01:03:04As ready as I'll ever be.
01:03:07Okay.
01:03:10Gosh.
01:03:11Okay, okay, okay.
01:03:13One.
01:03:14Two.
01:03:15Three.
01:03:18We're having a girl.
01:03:19It's our girl.
01:03:21We're having a baby girl.
01:03:25I know the perfect name.
01:03:27Mm-hmm.
01:03:28Audrey.
01:03:31I know the perfect name.
01:03:33Mm-hmm.
01:03:34Audrey.
01:03:37That's perfect.
01:03:41You wanna swing?
01:03:44Don't let me fall, okay?
01:03:46Okay.
01:03:47Cross my heart.
01:03:48Ready?
01:03:49Ready?
01:03:50Okay.
01:03:51Here we go.
01:03:56How does it feel?
01:03:58Like I'm flying.
