EZ thought he wanted revenge until he gets to know Lucky. Now all he wants is her to. Her independence is what attracts her to EZ, who has spent most of his life caring for his father and helping to raise his sister after their mother died. He wanted nothing more than to lose the job of family caretaker, until his sister looks to Lucky for guidance and he becomes jealous. In the heat of anger, he says Lucky has no right to tell his sister what to do since she is not family. Lucky is hurt and goes to the fortuneteller. When he comforts her, he calls her Lucy. No one knew that was her name. She finds out Zos is her father. He'd faked his death, distanced himself from her after she was kidnapped as a child. He stole the Funland money to pay the ransom. His way of loving her was to keep away so his enemies wouldn't use her against him. But one enemy called his bluff, and he ended up faking his death to protect her. Now, he is dying, but she's come to forgive him. Can she forgive EZ, too? He lied to her about his father, and kept her here to save the park for his dad. She goes to him and accidentally she sees his law degree. As a lawyer, he knew all along that her businesses wouldn't have been affected if Funland went bankrupt. Still, he's told her the truth now. When he'd sought revenge and lied, he didn't love her. She's learned to forgive her father, and EZ, too. They'll marry and once again form a partnership with the Santanellis and the Daltons.
