00:06:34Hey there!
00:06:38Mia, what a pleasant surprise.
00:06:41How did you have time to call me today?
00:06:43Is this a bad time?
00:06:45You sound like you've had a rough day.
00:06:47It was one of those days.
00:06:49Well, sounds like you could use a break.
00:06:53How about a drink to unwind later?
00:06:56Let me check.
00:06:59Yeah, I can really use that.
00:07:01I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:07:04Knowing my mom, she'll definitely want you to stay over.
00:07:16So we'll probably spend three days in one bedroom.
00:07:20After that, we'll be free to go back to our regular lives.
00:07:23Sounds like a plan.
00:07:24Here we go, James.
00:07:35Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:07:39Got it.
00:07:40Mom, I'm home.
00:07:48Mia!
00:07:50It's been so long.
00:07:53Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:07:56It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Davis.
00:07:57Mia's told me so much about.
00:07:59Please, call me Maria.
00:08:02Common name.
00:08:04Help yourself with some cookies.
00:08:05Before I finish dressing, it's working.
00:08:10So far, so good.
00:08:12Let's keep it up.
00:08:19You know, I'm actually enjoying this day.
00:08:23Me too.
00:08:24I feel like we're a real couple.
00:08:27So, you two, tell me how you met.
00:08:34Of course.
00:08:36It was a charming little cafe on the 3rd Avenue.
00:08:39Mia was sitting alone reading a chat for Eugenides.
00:08:43And I couldn't resist striking out the conversation.
00:08:45Oh, how I met you.
00:08:50I'm so happy you guys who met each other.
00:08:54It's been too long for me to walk from someone.
00:08:57So, thank you.
00:09:15Mia, your mom's here.
00:09:22What do we do?
00:09:24Uh, quick.
00:09:25Come in here.
00:09:30Okay.
00:09:31Come in.
00:09:36Good morning, lovebirds.
00:09:38I can see you had a lovely night.
00:09:41Stop it, mom.
00:09:42You're making it awkward.
00:09:43Look at you.
00:09:46All glowing.
00:09:50How do you everything, my princess?
00:09:53Okay, um, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:09:58Okay, okay.
00:10:00Just don't take too long.
00:10:01And shouldn't you get back to the city today?
00:10:03I have to say, it was quite a play in your house.
00:10:15It was perfect.
00:10:16They all bought it.
00:10:19Remember how your mom almost got us in the bedroom.
00:10:21My heart was about to jump out when I heard that knock.
00:10:26But we made it.
00:10:29So, has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit?
00:10:34They just won't let the topic off you.
00:10:37Same here.
00:10:38But now, my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding.
00:10:42I'm going to lose my mind.
00:10:43Let's just share the night we have right now.
00:10:50Well, we still can.
00:10:51You know, James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:11:09I feel the same.
00:11:10I know there's beauty in commitment, but shouldn't it be our own life trips to make?
00:11:17Exactly.
00:11:18I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends.
00:11:23Telling me to rush into a life.
00:11:26Raising kids in a house and giving up all of my freedoms.
00:11:31No, thank you.
00:11:36Wait.
00:11:38I have an idea.
00:11:40It might help both of us.
00:11:43I'm all ears.
00:11:46Thinking.
00:11:48What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:11:54Thinking.
00:11:56What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:12:00Please elaborate.
00:12:03What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:12:07A contract marriage?
00:12:09A contract marriage?
00:12:10Yeah.
00:12:11Yeah.
00:12:12Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life.
00:12:16We'll make a legal contract with maybe separate bedrooms, financial terms and so on.
00:12:22No feelings should be included.
00:12:26This is huge.
00:12:27I need to think about it.
00:12:29I know.
00:12:30It's not something to do with the person whom you just met.
00:12:35But think about this.
00:12:37The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:12:41So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:12:45It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:12:49It's just, like I said, love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:12:57They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:13:02I get it, Mia.
00:13:05I do.
00:13:05But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:13:08And we need to adapt to that.
00:13:10Our life won't change the bit.
00:13:12Just more freedom with this contract.
00:13:14But what about the no emotions term?
00:13:18Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:13:21It's necessary.
00:13:24We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:13:27It will make things difficult.
00:13:29Well, you do make a good point.
00:13:36I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:13:41But we need to set boundaries, conditions.
00:13:46We'll stick with friendship, contractual partners.
00:13:51Agreed, Mia.
00:13:52I'll write the legal contract and we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:13:56Oh, and one more thing, James.
00:13:59We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this.
00:14:03We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:14:07Absolutely.
00:14:10Our contract won't affect any of our lives.
00:14:13We can make it done tomorrow.
00:14:15While our script will take care of everything.
00:14:19Deal.
00:14:26I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:14:35Yeah, we've got that far, Mia.
00:14:39Let's go through this contract together.
00:14:42Okay.
00:14:46Separate bedrooms.
00:14:47Uh, no feelings clause.
00:14:53Um, and it's clear financial terms.
00:15:00Yep.
00:15:02We will be committed to each other from now on.
00:15:17I can't believe we did that.
00:15:33So, what's next?
00:15:36We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:15:39I'll propose to you in your apartment and send pictures to our families.
00:15:44Well, it's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:15:49Yes, then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it.
00:15:52It's all part of the plan.
00:15:55I really want to get this out of my head.
00:15:57Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:16:00Yes.
00:16:10Did you turn the camera on?
00:16:13Yeah, it's working.
00:16:18Mia, there is something I'm wanting to ask you tonight.
00:16:22Yes?
00:16:26Mia, will you marry me?
00:16:29Oh my god, James.
00:16:31Yes!
00:16:36Oh my god.
00:16:59I can't believe we just did that.
00:17:03It's all part of the plan.
00:17:15This is our first big show on the stage.
00:17:18We have to make sure that we look like a happy couple in front of everyone.
00:17:27Of course.
00:17:28Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:17:30It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:17:43It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:17:47I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:18:05Focus on the bigger picture.
00:18:07Neither of us wants a real marriage right now.
00:18:10And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:18:18Let's get some rest.
00:18:19Good night.
00:18:21Good night.
00:18:38Mia, are you okay?
00:18:39Please, open up.
00:18:44Talk to me.
00:18:48I can't do this, James.
00:18:50At the wedding, I saw everyone's faces.
00:18:54They were so happy and blessed us with their whole hearts.
00:18:59I feel like I betrayed every one of them.
00:19:05But we are already here.
00:19:07There is no way of going back.
00:19:11I saw their faces.
00:19:13They believed in us.
00:19:15It was all a huge lie.
00:19:18I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:19:23It's not easy for me either.
00:19:26But we have to hang in there.
00:19:27We can't let them down right now.
00:19:47I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:19:50I wish that to Mia, but I promise we can get through it.
00:19:55I promise.
00:19:57I promise.
00:20:17James, I have something that I want to say.
00:20:21Mia, we agreed.
00:20:29No feelings.
00:20:30I know, but...
00:20:45Compliments of a friend.
00:20:46James, please enjoy your evening.
00:21:00James, what's this?
00:21:02James, what's this?
00:21:06The time for the Ayers?
00:21:07James, what's this?
00:21:10The time for me.
00:21:11James, what were this?
00:21:13James, what's this?
00:21:14Is it a time for us?
00:21:15It was already over what it was.
00:21:15My honor and I was trying to be like,
00:21:16I don't know.
00:21:16I'm sorry.
00:21:17I'm sorry.
00:21:18I'm sorry.
00:21:19I'm sorry.
00:21:19I know.
00:21:21I know.
00:21:21I think I'm just waiting for you,
00:21:25but I'm testing it out and the time.
00:21:27I lost all my business,
00:21:28and I said I'm sorry.
00:21:29I hope this is a time for you.
00:21:30James?
00:21:54Where are you?
00:21:57Right here, Mia. Is there any candle?
00:22:07James?
00:22:14So, any clue on that note?
00:22:27Sorry. Hello?
00:22:34I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you, a gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:22:49Someone knows our secret. What should we do?
00:22:56You know, I've been thinking about the day we met. It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:23:11I know, and I'm glad that I met you. You're such a special woman, and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:23:18You, too. I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:23:25You, too. I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:23:30You're such a special woman, and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:23:36You, too. I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:23:42Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:23:59It's not a fairy tale. It's a bloody reality. But I still like it. It's our story.
00:24:14It's my friend. It's my friend. It's my friend. I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:24:33What's happening?
00:24:36We're stuck. What do we do? I need to be there on time.
00:24:46Let's call the building. They should come and fix this.
00:24:58There's no signal. We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:25:03We won't. Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:25:09We just need to be patient.
00:25:16What's that for?
00:25:18Just to give us some strength. Friends can hurt, too.
00:25:22Okay.
00:25:33I can't believe this is happening.
00:25:37Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:25:43You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:25:50James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:25:55They'd be so disappointed.
00:25:57We are doing everything we can. And so far, we did good. Everyone is happy.
00:26:06I just think about how far we've come. Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:26:19It's like an endless spy game.
00:26:22I know.
00:26:24But we're in this together.
00:26:26We chose this to take control of our life.
00:26:29And now we are tied together by fate.
00:26:32We are one.
00:26:33I suddenly feel so relieved. Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:26:45I know. I always rush to my friends after a bed day. And here I am, with a dearest friend.
00:26:52And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom, now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:26:59Mine too. My mom called the other day, but when she saw you walk out from the bath, she hung up as soon as she could.
00:27:07But of course, she made fun of us.
00:27:10Or maybe next time I can show up even sexier, and then she can make fun of you some more.
00:27:18I'm sexy now.
00:27:19Maybe we should talk about what just happened? The moment was...
00:27:36I enjoyed it. There is something I never thought I would say.
00:27:39But it's not what we expected. I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:27:46Mia, I have to tell you. I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:27:51I care about you more than I should. I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:27:59I'm in love with you.
00:28:08I actually feel the exact same way.
00:28:14I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:28:19Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection,
00:28:22I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:28:26Let's tell everyone the truth. I'm sure they will understand.
00:28:31They may be mad at first, but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:28:35Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:28:38I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right.
00:28:41It should be our priority right now.
00:28:52James, our parents aside, I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:29:03Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:29:07Mia, I have no idea.
00:29:10But I hired an investigator, hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:29:14I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:29:17We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:29:27This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight, bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:29:34I chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:29:37And yet, I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:29:48We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:29:52We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage,
00:29:56and we'll for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:29:58Who are nothing you like.
00:29:59That's the person hunting us .
00:30:01.
00:30:28Who's there?
00:30:40Anyone here?
00:30:42What do you want from me?
00:30:52You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:30:54Where am I?
00:30:56What did I do?
00:30:58I assure you, there's a misunderstanding.
00:31:02Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:31:05Where are you, Mia?
00:31:07I just need you to be here, Maya.
00:31:10We can talk things out.
00:31:12You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:31:15I will cooperate.
00:31:17If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:31:22Just let me go.
00:31:26Hello?
00:31:27Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:31:37Maya's life depends on you.
00:31:39Hello?
00:31:48Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:31:51Maya's life depends on you.
00:31:53Don't bother.
00:31:54You won't recognize who I am.
00:31:57What matters is Maya.
00:31:58You have 24 hours to prepare five million dollars if you want to see her alive.
00:32:04Who are you and what do you want?
00:32:06That is not a question for me to answer.
00:32:08Just do as I said.
00:32:10I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:32:14That's not my concern.
00:32:16Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:32:20I need to be sure she's okay. Let me talk to her.
00:32:23That won't be happening.
00:32:25I swear, if you dare to touch her, I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:32:30I don't know what to do, Scott. They're asking for five millions in 24 hours. I can't lose her.
00:32:44Well, figure it out, James. I'll do everything I can.
00:32:48I can't lose Maya.
00:32:51I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:32:57We found each other the one. We have been looking for her whole life.
00:33:02Oh, no. This was not meant to happen.
00:33:05I have to find her. I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:33:09We will. But who will commit such a horrible crime?
00:33:14Anyone? Anyone raise a bell?
00:33:17Maya wouldn't hurt anyone. I can assure you, this has something to do with that blackmail we received.
00:33:25Blackmail?
00:33:27Someone has been stalking us.
00:33:29They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:33:32Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down!
00:33:35Mark, please. I need your help. Maya's life is in danger.
00:33:44I wish I could, James. Five million is a lot. I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:33:53Say good, Mark. When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help you.
00:33:57You're a fucking nuisance! I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:34:05I might be able to cash this out.
00:34:26Thank you for calling CPM Bank. Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:34:32I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:34:34I want to cash it out immediately.
00:34:37I understand the urgency. Please give us a moment.
00:34:49Can you get money for me in an hour? It's for an urgent matter.
00:34:53Sure. Since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:34:58I will be there in 20 minutes. Please get the cash ready by then.
00:35:02Yes, sir. All noted.
00:35:03Great.
00:35:19Is it ready?
00:35:21Yes. Give me the location.
00:35:23Boom!
00:35:25I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:35:42Do anything to keep you safe. We're in this together.
00:35:45I want to give you both an update. We are investigating the lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:36:14And our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers and bringing them to justice.
00:36:23Thank you, Detective. We appreciate your efforts.
00:36:26Thank you, Detective.
00:36:32I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:36:38It's not your fault. We'll get through this.
00:36:42Here we go.
00:36:56It's been a while since we had a piss room like this.
00:37:08Yeah. It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:37:13It's nice to get a break from all of this.
00:37:25Mia, you won't believe this.
00:37:28What is it?
00:37:32A company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:37:36They love my pitch.
00:37:37Oh my god, James. That's amazing.
00:37:39I'm going to call my employees to announce this news.
00:37:46And an after party later?
00:37:49You know me too well.
00:37:53Will you pick me up later for our little celebration?
00:37:57Absolutely. I'll meet you at home after work.
00:38:09Yes. I need you to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:38:25We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:38:29Wow. That's fantastic. I will gather them.
00:38:39Thank you all for your time. I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:38:54Before I finish, I'm just curious.
00:38:57Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:39:01Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:39:04She said you're an old friend.
00:39:07An old friend?
00:39:10I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:39:14You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:39:17For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:39:39What's wrong, James?
00:39:54How could that be?
00:40:01I don't know, but we are going to find out soon.
00:40:08I'm going to find out soon.
00:40:16Samantha, have you found anything? I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:40:21Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:40:24James, we've made some significant progress.
00:40:27I think we're closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:40:33I'm over yours. Details please.
00:40:36We managed to trace the source of the blackmail attempts
00:40:39we found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:40:43Richard Kingsley? Never heard that name. And why would he do this?
00:40:48We're still walking on that part. We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:40:54Thank you, Samantha. Keep me posted on any updates.
00:40:58I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:41:01Of course, we're so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:41:13I received these pictures of you in the apartment. I tried to call you many times and you didn't answer.
00:41:26I thought something happened to you.
00:41:28I'm so sorry. I've been so engrossed in my painting. Everything's okay.
00:41:34I'm just glad you're okay.
00:41:36I'm safe and sound. Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:41:41Samantha, the private detective I heart is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:41:48I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:41:51You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James. Contract or not.
00:42:06I feel the same way, Mia. I won't ever want to lose you.
00:42:12I've been working on this for a few weeks. It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:42:24It's wonderful. You're really talented.
00:42:27Thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me.
00:42:42Hello?
00:42:47James, I trust you are well. I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:42:58Sure. Where should we meet? I can rearrange some work to make it.
00:43:05That's great. Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:43:11I'll be at your office at 3 p.m. and we can go over all the details.
00:43:16Thank you for your recognition. I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:43:35Hi. I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:43:47My apologies, James. I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events.
00:43:54But our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:43:58Wow. I was not aware of that.
00:44:01Maybe you can catch up with each other. It's a great opportunity. She surely is very excited about this.
00:44:31I'm James Turner. You're...
00:44:44Jimmy? Don't you remember me?
00:44:52I'm sorry, but I can't seem to.
00:44:59Perhaps...
00:45:01Perhaps...
00:45:02This will help you to remember?
00:45:08I thought as much.
00:45:10It's me.
00:45:11Your beloved Mabel.
00:45:16Mabel?
00:45:18What the...
00:45:29You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:45:45I know, babe. I can't believe you're graduating. Time did fly.
00:45:51Life after college. It's a bit scary, but I'm so excited.
00:45:56I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:46:01I'm sure nothing can stop you from the goal.
00:46:10I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:46:13Yeah, I know.
00:46:16Did you lock the door?
00:46:17Of course I did.
00:46:21Hope you won't change after you leave.
00:46:24I won't.
00:46:25What?
00:46:39Mabel?
00:46:41James, I can't explain.
00:46:44I'm so sorry I have to find out like this, but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:46:55I'm so sorry.
00:46:56I'm so sorry.
00:47:02Mabel?
00:47:03What are you doing here?
00:47:05It's Victorian.
00:47:07And through business, of course, darling.
00:47:14What are you playing here?
00:47:16What's up with all the charade?
00:47:20Let's say...
00:47:22I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:47:25You know...
00:47:27For the old time's sake.
00:47:29Old time's sake?
00:47:31You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:47:33What do you want?
00:47:35People change, James.
00:47:38And...
00:47:40I just can't let you off my mind.
00:47:44How did you become the president of this company?
00:47:47What are you hiding?
00:47:49A woman like me can get whatever I want with just a little trick.
00:47:54See?
00:47:56I helped you got this project.
00:47:58I've missed you, James.
00:48:00Missed us.
00:48:02We should be together.
00:48:04I'm the only one who can help you.
00:48:08No, Victoria.
00:48:10I won't let you manipulate.
00:48:13Not again.
00:48:21You have always been a challenge, James.
00:48:25This is not how I imaged our reunion.
00:48:26If you come here to talk about that project, let's get to it.
00:48:31Otherwise, you should leave.
00:48:33Don't be so harsh.
00:48:35You want business?
00:48:37We'll talk about business.
00:48:40Let's get professional.
00:48:42James.
00:48:44The reason I chose you is not only because of our past.
00:48:48I trust you and your ability.
00:48:50I know what you're capable of.
00:48:54Really?
00:48:56Oh, please.
00:48:58Put our history behind, will you?
00:49:00I pay responsibility to my company too, okay?
00:49:05I didn't take this job for fun.
00:49:08Fine.
00:49:10Let's be clear.
00:49:12I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:49:17Agree, James.
00:49:19We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:49:37Scott, you won't believe what just happened.
00:49:48What's the matter?
00:49:59Wait, Mabel?
00:50:01Your ex-girlfriend from college?
00:50:04You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:50:05That's the one.
00:50:07She's now going by Victoria and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:50:12She wants my help on a project.
00:50:15I can't shake feeling that there's more to it.
00:50:19I think we have to wait for her move.
00:50:22I need to find out what's really going on.
00:50:25But I can't do it alone.
00:50:26Will you help me, Scott?
00:50:28Of course. Happy to help.
00:50:29Happy to help.
00:50:30She wants you involved in a realistic project.
00:50:33But it's more than just business, I'm sure of it.
00:50:36I have the same feeling.
00:50:38Nothing is ever pure about her.
00:50:40I don't want Mia to worry about this.
00:50:42She's working on an important artwork.
00:50:44And I promise, I'll protect her.
00:50:47Of course.
00:50:49I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:50:52Thanks, man.
00:50:54What should I do without you?
00:50:59James, are you okay? You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:51:12Sorry to make your word, babe.
00:51:14Just stuff with work, you know.
00:51:16Alright, it's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:51:21You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:51:24If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:51:29Babe, it shouldn't worry you. I can handle it myself. Trust me.
00:51:35Okay. Just remember, I'm always here for you.
00:51:40If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm here.
00:51:46Thank you, Mia. You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to you.
00:51:52James, we're one. There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:51:57Hi, Jimmy.
00:51:59Victoria.
00:52:01What an unexpected surprise. I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:52:03I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:52:06I've moved on with my life. I have Mia and she means everything to me.
00:52:07Oh, please, James. You wouldn't let a college flinch cross your judgement after all these years. Right?
00:52:08Spare me the details. You betrayed me with my own friends.
00:52:10Victoria, what an unexpected surprise. I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:52:14I'm just visiting an old friend. I've moved on with my life. I have Mia and she means everything to me.
00:52:24Oh, please, James. You wouldn't let a college flinch cross your judgement after all these years. Right?
00:52:35Spare me the details. You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:52:38Who did you expect me to do, James? You were leaving college and I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:52:48I need someone to back me up. I was a child.
00:52:51I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria. I got over you a long time ago. So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:53:03Come back here, dummy.
00:53:06I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:53:16James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:53:21I just want to be in your life.
00:53:26And...
00:53:29You are coming with us to check the new site for our project.
00:53:33It's required by our partnership contracts.
00:53:42Yeah, I've got a business trip coming up.
00:53:46It's a sudden opportunity and I need to leave for a few days.
00:53:50Oh, really? That's unexpected. When do you leave?
00:53:55Tomorrow morning. I know. It's a short notice. But I'll be back before you know it.
00:54:01Alright, James. Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
00:54:06I will. I'll miss you so much.
00:54:09I will. I'll miss you so much.
00:54:10I will. I'll miss you so much.
00:54:13Oh, James. You've had quite a bit.
00:54:18Is everything alright?
00:54:20James, you've had quite a bit.
00:54:33Is everything alright?
00:54:37I'm just trying to relax.
00:54:43Everything's fine, just leave me.
00:55:05You've had enough tonight, James.
00:55:08Maybe make sure you're comfortable.
00:55:12Victoria, what are you doing?
00:55:16Don't you worry, we'll have a little chat.
00:55:20You're safe with me.
00:55:23What do you want?
00:55:26You, James.
00:55:29I want you.
00:55:31I want all of you.
00:55:33Your body, your love, and even your soul.
00:55:42Stop it.
00:55:44I'm married.
00:55:46I don't mind.
00:55:48Or maybe this makes you want even more.
00:55:55You enjoy it, don't you?
00:55:58I know exactly how to please you.
00:56:01Yeah, I can do it there.
00:56:04Oh, come on, darling.
00:56:08We all know about your little contract.
00:56:11Besides, she would never find out.
00:56:17Now this is what we're talking about, James.
00:56:28What the hell happened?
00:56:40I can't believe I'll ever get this far.
00:56:44Don't worry.
00:56:46Don't worry.
00:56:46Don't worry.
00:56:48What's wrong?
00:56:50Victoria, this is a mistake.
00:56:51Did you set me up?
00:56:52Why are you lying next to me?
00:56:55Oh, you were just so energetic.
00:56:58Stop the games.
00:57:00I'm serious.
00:57:01I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do with you.
00:57:09Well, well.
00:57:11Let's say we had a stunning night and I saved some pictures for memories.
00:57:22Delete those pictures right now.
00:57:27Why don't you come here and make me?
00:57:29You're playing with fire.
00:57:33I won't be blackmailed or manipulated.
00:57:35Delete them now.
00:57:42You're just no fun, James.
00:57:49I want you to step away from my life.
00:57:51This can't happen again.
00:57:54We'll see about that.
00:57:59Oh, Jamie, Jamie.
00:58:11You can never run away from me.
00:58:17Oh my god, James, you're home.
00:58:19I'm busy too, babe.
00:58:22It's good to be home.
00:58:23Tell me everything about your trip.
00:58:25It was a normal business trip.
00:58:27Nothing special.
00:58:29Let's not talk about it.
00:58:30I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
00:58:33Okay, sure.
00:58:36I'm just so glad you're home.
00:58:55Hello.
00:59:00Hello, Mia.
00:59:00Who's this?
00:59:03I guess Jimmy didn't tell you about me.
00:59:07I'm Victoria, the president of the company James is presently partnering in.
00:59:13Okay, how may I help you?
00:59:15You see, Jimmy and I have come a long way, and since you're not really married to him,
00:59:21so I guess there is no harm in stepping in.
00:59:24What do you mean?
00:59:26You see, James is mine, and mine alone.
00:59:30If he will kindly excuse us so we can be together, that would be great.
00:59:35He would never like someone like you.
00:59:38Oh, please.
00:59:39He showed lots of love to me not long ago.
00:59:43He surely had no time to think of you.
00:59:46I sent you the pictures.
00:59:48Hope you enjoy them.
00:59:58Impossible.
01:00:00He would never do this to me.
01:00:05Hey, how's Rome?
01:00:13Nothing.
01:00:16How was your day?
01:00:18Oh.
01:00:20Just as usual.
01:00:23Who is Victoria?
01:00:28Victoria?
01:00:29Victoria?
01:00:29Where did you hear that name from?
01:00:31She called me James.
01:00:35She said things.
01:00:37Things I can't believe.
01:00:44Mia, it's...
01:00:47Can you explain?
01:00:49You have to know you're the one and the only one I love.
01:00:54Tell me the truth, James.
01:01:01Is she important to you?
01:01:13She's my ex from college.
01:01:15And...
01:01:15Also my current business partner.
01:01:20And what about this?
01:01:22Is this part of your business?
01:01:23Is this part of your business?
01:01:29We...
01:01:30We had a businessman.
01:01:34She set me up.
01:01:36I made a mistake.
01:01:39But it's not how it looks like.
01:01:42I love you.
01:01:43And I don't want her to ruin us.
01:01:47Tell me the truth, James.
01:01:50What happened that night?
01:01:51I tried to stop her.
01:01:58I tried to stop her.
01:01:59I was...
01:02:01Too drunk and also confused.
01:02:06I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
01:02:10You put our relationship on edge.
01:02:12I'm so sorry.
01:02:15I'll...
01:02:15I'll do everything it takes to make this right.
01:02:20Please, don't give up on us.
01:02:26I need some space.
01:02:29Please, just...
01:02:31Leave me alone.
01:02:33Leave me alone.
01:02:33Leave me alone.
01:02:42I'll do everything.
01:02:51Samantha...
01:02:52Found anything?
01:02:53Yes, I got a lead.
01:02:54It's been a challenging investigation.
01:02:56But I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley.
01:03:02I'm listening.
01:03:04He went to the same college with Mia, and he developed an obsession over her everything.
01:03:10He's been stalking your life, collecting information, and attempting to get her.
01:03:16This is insane. How did he get so close to us?
01:03:20He used virus, illnesses, and keep a low profile, which made it challenging to track him.
01:03:27But we've identified his patterns and his current location.
01:03:31I'd advise involving the authorities and getting a restraining order against him.
01:03:37Thank you, Samantha. I appreciate your dedication.
01:03:40You and Mia deserve peace, James.
01:03:42I will continue to monitor the situation, but please take legal action to protect yourself.
01:03:50I'll take care of her, and it's time for me to take control.
01:04:01It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think?
01:04:14Who sent you after us?
01:04:16Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan.
01:04:19If you don't tell the truth, I will call the cops on you.
01:04:21Fine. Fine. It was Victoria.
01:04:27Victoria.
01:04:28How did she convince you to do this?
01:04:34She told me about your contract marriage.
01:04:37She told me you don't even care about Mia.
01:04:39She promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back.
01:04:47You were manipulated, Richard.
01:04:50You're such a clown.
01:04:51James, I've been seeing you.
01:05:04I thought someone would never want to see you again, huh?
01:05:09Miss me already?
01:05:11Victoria, I want answers.
01:05:15Why did you hire Richards to stalk us?
01:05:19Richard?
01:05:19I've never heard any Richard in my life.
01:05:25I know it was you.
01:05:26He told me everything.
01:05:30Okay.
01:05:32It was me.
01:05:34But I did it for us.
01:05:38For us?
01:05:40I don't know there isn't us.
01:05:42I've always loved you, Jimmy.
01:05:50I just want to be back together with you.
01:06:00Here's the plan.
01:06:01We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
01:06:10We are professionals.
01:06:12We know how to cover our tracks.
01:06:15Good.
01:06:16And remember,
01:06:18I want her unharmed.
01:06:20This is just to make James realized
01:06:25he belongs to me.
01:06:29We understand.
01:06:31You can't watch what.
01:06:32What?
01:06:47Hello?
01:06:50Who's there?
01:06:58My, my, Mia
01:07:05What a tangled web we weave
01:07:09It's me, Victoria
01:07:16What do you want?
01:07:19I warned you to walk away
01:07:21But you just wouldn't listen
01:07:23So I decided to teach you a little lesson
01:07:26See, he cried
01:07:30You would never be good enough for James
01:07:33He'll never get away with this
01:07:37James wants nothing to do with you
01:07:40We'll see about that
01:07:42You can't control other people's feelings
01:07:46You're such a bunny
01:07:49Baby, Jimmy, you wanted to have a bet
01:07:53Why else he would choose you over me?
01:07:56What we have is real
01:07:58And you need to face the truth
01:08:01Listen to me carefully, bunny
01:08:04If you truly care for James
01:08:06You'll stay away from him
01:08:08It's not a negotiation
01:08:10It's a demand
01:08:11James and I are married
01:08:13And there's nothing you can do about it
01:08:17Don't be too confident
01:08:20Just yet
01:08:22Mia!
01:08:30Hello, Jimmy
01:08:31What's the hurry?
01:08:35You came as soon as you got the message, huh?
01:08:39I only send you the message to see how much you would sacrifice for Mia
01:08:42Mia!
01:08:44Let her go
01:08:45You want me, I'm here
01:08:48You've got one minute, James
01:08:51Your precious contract wife
01:08:54Or the woman who's loved you all alone
01:08:56Victoria
01:09:01Why are you doing this?
01:09:06You're risking your own life
01:09:08You just never believed that I truly loved you, right?
01:09:13I won't even have a life after tonight
01:09:15But before anything happens, I'll get what I want
01:09:20Please, put the gun down
01:09:28You don't want to end up like this
01:09:31Mia is the only one in love
01:09:34Hey, it's over now
01:09:50We're safe
01:09:51I was so scared, James
01:09:54I thought I'd never see you again
01:09:58I know
01:10:00I was scared too
01:10:01But here we are
01:10:03And I'll always protect you
01:10:07You mean the world to me
01:10:09I love you, James
01:10:12I love you too
01:10:13But
01:10:15Why
01:10:18Why did you betray me?
01:10:22Mia
01:10:22I never wanted to hurt you
01:10:25That was all wrong
01:10:27And all that's control
01:10:28I didn't know how to handle it
01:10:31So
01:10:32I decided not to tell you
01:10:34And I'm so sorry
01:10:35You should have trusted me, James
01:10:38I'm the
01:10:40Kind of
01:10:42Woman you can
01:10:43Fight with
01:10:45Mia
01:10:47Mia
01:10:48Are you okay?
01:11:06Are you okay?
01:11:06You scared the hell out of me
01:11:09It's okay
01:11:11I feel better now
01:11:13I'm sorry to have scared you
01:11:16I guess
01:11:18Tonight's events
01:11:20Took a lot out of me
01:11:22I'm so sorry for
01:11:25Everything that has happened
01:11:27I love you
01:11:29And I guess
01:11:32Carrying a baby
01:11:34Also takes away from my strength
01:11:37What?
01:11:41What did you just say?
01:11:44Well
01:11:45I've been having some
01:11:47Fainting incidents
01:11:48Recently
01:11:49So
01:11:50I went to the hospital
01:11:52By myself
01:11:54And
01:11:54It looks like
01:11:57In eight months
01:11:58You're going to become a dad
01:12:00What?
01:12:05You're pregnant?
01:12:08Oh my god
01:12:10I can't believe
01:12:12I had no idea
01:12:13You should have told me earlier
01:12:16I can't believe we're becoming parents
01:12:18This is the most exciting moment in my life
01:12:21I knew you would be happy
01:12:23James
01:12:26With the baby coming
01:12:28And the incidents behind us
01:12:30I think it's time we come clean to our parents
01:12:34They deserve to know the truth
01:12:37And
01:12:38We have to tell them
01:12:39They have a grandchild on the way
01:12:41You're right, Mia
01:12:43It's time to be honest with them
01:12:46I'm so happy
01:12:53You know, Mia
01:12:54I was thinking
01:12:56I want a girl
01:12:57She'll have your eyes and my smile
01:12:59Oh, really?
01:13:01I'm imagining a boy
01:13:03With your intelligence
01:13:05And my sense of beauty
01:13:07But
01:13:09As long as the little one is healthy
01:13:11I'm satisfied
01:13:12I've never been more excited about the future
01:13:14Me too, James
01:13:16This journey
01:13:18Our journey
01:13:19It's been a surprise in every sense of the word
01:13:23Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:13:25And maybe
01:13:26Just maybe
01:13:27We'll have the best of both worlds
01:13:29Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess
01:13:39Oh my god
01:13:41Are you trying to spoil me?
01:13:44Maybe I am
01:13:45You deserve it
01:13:46This looks amazing
01:13:48I love the nuggets
01:13:49I believe in us, James
01:13:53We've gone through a lot of challenges
01:13:57And
01:13:58Come out even stronger
01:14:00Tonight is the last step
01:14:03For us to become a real couple
01:14:05I'm lucky to have you here by my side, Mia
01:14:10It doesn't matter how angry they get
01:14:13Upon hearing the news
01:14:14We'll face it together
01:14:18Mom
01:14:23We need to tell you something about our marriage
01:14:26Our marriage started with the light to me of all of you
01:14:34And
01:14:36It was a business arrangement
01:14:39But
01:14:40Over time
01:14:42We fell in love with each other
01:14:45We want to make it real
01:14:47And we'd like to have your blessing
01:14:51For real this time
01:14:53Well
01:14:55Your marriage
01:14:57Contract or not
01:14:59Was
01:15:00Has looked pretty real to me
01:15:02From the very beginning
01:15:03And I'm glad you guys
01:15:06You're brave enough
01:15:07To admit the mistakes
01:15:08And
01:15:10Go on with your
01:15:11Real
01:15:12Happy
01:15:13Marriage life
01:15:14Thank you for understanding, Mom
01:15:17I'll always be there for
01:15:22And we have a new member
01:15:24Coming to the family soon
01:15:26But
01:15:27You're
