00:00:00Fake boyfriends? Interesting.
00:00:09I just can't believe we did that.
00:00:13Mia, will you marry me?
00:00:15Yes! Oh my god!
00:00:20I can seem to.
00:00:23Perhaps this will help return in room?
00:00:30I thought as much.
00:00:33It's me.
00:00:34You're bluffing my dog.
00:00:36She would never find out.
00:00:40Now this is what we're talking about, James.
00:00:44Anyone here?
00:00:47What do you want from me?
00:00:50Anyone here?
00:01:03What do you want from me?
00:01:05It's time to tell the truth Richard, don't you think?
00:01:24Please, put the gun down. You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:30Mia is the only one in love.
00:01:35I don't want to end up like this.
00:01:40Yeah, I don't want to end up like this.
00:01:46I have to do so.
00:01:53Yeah!
00:01:54Yeah!
00:01:55Yeah!
00:01:56Yeah!
00:01:57Yeah!
00:01:58Yeah!
00:01:59Yeah!
00:02:00Yeah!
00:02:01Oh my god!
00:02:02Okay.
00:02:03Marriage.
00:02:04Suffocating.
00:02:06Tell me about it.
00:02:09Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:02:14Family pressures, right?
00:02:19Wanna talk?
00:02:22My family have been on my case for years, it's likely they have already chosen my future spouse.
00:02:35My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:02:43I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:02:48I'm Mia. Pleasure to meet you.
00:02:53It's our endless battle.
00:02:59It's my new comrade.
00:03:14James, right? Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:19Mia, must be fake.
00:03:21That or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:27Scotch. Neat.
00:03:28Got it.
00:03:29How are things going on right?
00:03:34My mom calls me every single day to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:03:41And what was your response?
00:03:44Um, I said yes just to stop her calls, but I don't think there's anyone.
00:03:50You?
00:03:52My parents are obsessed with my kids, even though I'm still single.
00:03:57Scotch please.
00:03:59Here, to our endless battle.
00:04:09Mia, I've been thinking, why don't we help each other out here?
00:04:13What do you mean?
00:04:14Maybe we can be the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:04:19Fake boyfriends?
00:04:20Interesting.
00:04:21Only once.
00:04:22Only once.
00:04:23And we can be free for a long time.
00:04:24No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:04:28What do you mean?
00:04:29Maybe we can be the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:04:43Fake boyfriends?
00:04:45Interesting.
00:04:47Only once.
00:04:48And we can be free for a long time.
00:04:52It's not what I usually do, but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:04:59This night is just getting more interesting.
00:05:01Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:05:04Not yet.
00:05:05Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:08Okay, boyfriend.
00:05:10Why don't you introduce yourself more to me?
00:05:13Well, I own a real estate company.
00:05:16We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:19You sure look like a boss.
00:05:21The Scotch gives it away.
00:05:23Alright, enough about it.
00:05:25Tell me something about yourself.
00:05:26Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner.
00:05:31Not to show off, but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:05:37Wait.
00:05:38Are you Mia Davis?
00:05:40That Mia Davis?
00:05:42In the flesh, darling.
00:05:44I understand the emergence, but this is not how negotiation works.
00:05:53I need this to be done in three days.
00:05:56Our investors are not gonna wait for us.
00:05:59Anderson.
00:06:01I assure you, we are doing everything we can.
00:06:04I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:06:06We won't let you down.
00:06:08We won't let you down in half.
00:06:09Hey 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.
00:07:08Knowing my mom, she'll definitely want you to stay over.
00:07:15So we'll probably spend three days in one bedroom.
00:07:19After that, we'll be free to go back to our regular lives.
00:07:23Sounds like a plan.
00:07:25Here we go, James.
00:07:35Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:07:39Got it.
00:07:41Mom, I'm home!
00:07:48Mia!
00:07:49It's been so long.
00:07:53Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:07:56Pleasure to meeting Mrs. Davis.
00:07:57Mia's told me so much about.
00:07:59Please, call me Maria.
00:08:02Common name.
00:08:03Help yourself with some cookies.
00:08:05Before I finish dressing the turkey.
00:08:10So far, so good.
00:08:12Let's keep it up.
00:08:19You know, I'm actually enjoying this day.
00:08:22Me too.
00:08:24I feel like we're a real couple.
00:08:28So, you two.
00:08:31Tell me how you met.
00:08:33Of course.
00:08:35It was a charming little cafe on the 3rd Avenue.
00:08:39Neil was sitting alone, reading a chat for Eugenides.
00:08:43And I couldn't resist striking out the conversation.
00:08:46Oh, how I met you.
00:08:49I'm so happy you guys have met each other.
00:08:53It's been so long for me.
00:08:55I'm so happy you guys have met each other.
00:08:57It's been so long for me.
00:08:58I'm so happy.
00:09:03The next day, I'm so happy.
00:09:07Mia, you're a mom's here.
00:09:08What do we do?
00:09:09Uh…
00:09:10Quick, come in here.
00:09:25Quick, come in here
00:09:31Come in
00:09:36Good morning, lovebirds. I can see you had a lot of night
00:09:41Stop it mom. You're making it awkward
00:09:44Look at you all glowing
00:09:50How do you agree with my princess?
00:09:52Okay, um, I think the couple needs their alone time now
00:09:58Okay, okay, just don't take too long and why don't you get back to the city today?
00:10:12I have to say it was quite a play in your house. It was perfect. They 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, but 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, but now my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding. I'm gonna lose my mind
00:10:42Let's just share the night we have right now
00:10:48Well, we still can
00:10:50Well, we still can
00:11:02You know James
00:11:03It's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life
00:11:07I feel the same
00:11:09I know there's beauty in commitment, but
00:11:14Shouldn'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
00:11:30No, thank you
00:11:36Wait
00:11:38I have an idea
00:11:40It might help both of us
00:11:42I'm all yours
00:11:44Thinking
00:11:46What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:11:50Thinking
00:11:54What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:11:58Please elaborate
00:12:02What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:12:06A contract marriage?
00:12:08Yeah
00:12:10Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life
00:12:14We'll make a legal contract with
00:12:16Maybe separate bedrooms?
00:12:18Financial terms and so on?
00:12:20Oh
00:12:22No feelings should be included
00:12:24This is huge
00:12:26I need to think about it
00:12:28I know
00:12:30It's not something we deal with the person whom you just met
00:12:34But think about this
00:12:36The contract will satisfy our parents expectations
00:12:40So we can take control of our own lives without their interference
00:12:44It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma
00:12:46It's just
00:12:50Like I said
00:12:52Love and marriage
00:12:54Are not supposed to be contractual
00:12:56They should be based on emotions
00:12:58And
00:13:00Connection that grows naturally
00:13:02Get it Mia
00:13:04I do
00:13:06But 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
00:13:15What about the no emotions term?
00:13:18Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:13:22It's necessary
00:13:24We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other
00:13:27It will make things difficult
00:13:32Well
00:13:34You do make a good point
00:13:36I do want to take control over my own destiny again
00:13:40But
00:13:42We need to set boundaries
00:13:44Conditions
00:13:46We'll stick with friendship
00:13:48Contractual partners
00:13:50Agreed Mia
00:13:52I'll write the legal contract
00:13:54And we should both be clear about all the terms
00:13:56Oh
00:13:57And one more thing James
00:13:59We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this
00:14:02We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships
00:14:07Absolutely
00:14:09Our contract won't affect any of our lives
00:14:12We can make it done tomorrow
00:14:14While our script will take care of everything
00:14:17Deal
00:14:26I can't believe we're actually doing this
00:14:33Yeah
00:14:35We've got that far Mia
00:14:37Let's go through this contract together
00:14:41Okay
00:14:42Separate bedrooms
00:14:47Uh
00:14:49No feelings clause
00:14:51Um
00:14:53And
00:14:55Clear financial terms
00:14:58Yep
00:15:00We'll be committed to each other from now on
00:15:04We'll be committed to each other from now on
00:15:17I just can't believe we did that
00:15:33So
00:15:34What's next?
00:15:35We'll tell our parents and make it official
00:15:38I'll propose to you in your apartment
00:15:41And send pictures to our families
00:15:43Well
00:15:44It's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married
00:15:48Yes
00:15:49Then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it
00:15:52It's all part of the plan
00:15:54I 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?
00:16:09Did you turn the camera on?
00:16:12Yeah
00:16:13Yeah
00:16:14It's working
00:16:18Mia
00:16:19There is something I'm wanting to ask you tonight
00:16:21Yes?
00:16:26Mia
00:16:28Will you marry me?
00:16:29Oh my god James
00:16:30Yes
00:16:36Oh my god
00:16:43I can't believe we just did that
00:17:00I can't believe we just did that
00:17:02It's all part of that
00:17:04It's all we can
00:17:05I can't believe we just did that
00:17:06I can't believe we can
00:17:07I can't believe we were so much
00:17:08I can't believe we can
00:17:09You know we're so much
00:17:10I can't believe you
00:17:11I can't believe we can
00:17:12This is our first big show on the stage
00:17:20We have to make sure that we look like a happy couple in front of everyone
00:17:24Of course, not mistake is allowed tonight
00:17:26Of course, not mistake is allowed tonight
00:17:30It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:18:00I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:18:06Focus on the bigger picture.
00:18:08Neither of us wants a real marriage right now, and we still have our wedding in two days.
00:18:18Let's get some rest.
00:18:19Goodnight.
00:18:20Goodnight.
00:18:21Goodnight.
00:18:30Mia, are you okay?
00:18:42Please, open up.
00:18:44Talk to me.
00:18:46I can't do this, James.
00:18:49At the wedding, I saw everyone's faces.
00:18:53They were so happy and blessed us with their whole hearts.
00:18:58I feel like I betrayed every one of them.
00:19:03But we are already here.
00:19:06There is no way of going back.
00:19:09I saw their faces.
00:19:12They believed in us.
00:19:14It was all a huge lie.
00:19:17I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:19:21It's not easy for me either.
00:19:24But we have to hang in there.
00:19:27We can't let them down right now.
00:19:34I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:19:50I wish that to Mia, but I promise, we can't get through it.
00:19:55I promise.
00:19:57James, I have something that I want to say.
00:20:24Mia, we agreed.
00:20:27No feelings.
00:20:33I know, but...
00:20:44Compliments of a friend.
00:20:49Please, enjoy your evening.
00:20:54James, what's this?
00:21:01James, what's this?
00:21:06Oh.
00:21:24James, could I not with you?
00:21:29heavens are around here?
00:21:39I would love you.
00:21:40Yeah.
00:21:42I've never been there.
00:21:44Do you have anything to do?
00:21:47No problem.
00:21:49James?
00:21:53Where are you?
00:21:57Right here, Mia. Is there any candle?
00:22:05James...
00:22:13So, any clue on that note?
00:22:19Um...
00:22:29Sorry.
00:22:33Hello?
00:22:35I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you, a gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:22:49Someone knows our secret.
00:22:53What should we do?
00:22:55You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:23:01You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:23:05It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:23:09I know.
00:23:11And I'm glad that I met you.
00:23:13You're such a special woman, and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:23:17You, too.
00:23:19I'm glad that I met a real gentleman.
00:23:23You've been thinking about the day we met.
00:23:25It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:23:27I know.
00:23:29And I'm glad that I met you.
00:23:31I've never met anyone like you before.
00:23:38You, too.
00:23:39I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:23:43You, too.
00:23:44You, too.
00:23:45You, too.
00:23:51Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding,
00:23:53I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:23:55It's not a fairy tale.
00:24:05It's a bloody reality.
00:24:07But, I still like it.
00:24:11It's our story.
00:24:13It's our story.
00:24:33What's happening?
00:24:39We're stuck.
00:24:41What do we do?
00:24:43I need to be there on time.
00:24:47Let's call the building.
00:24:49They should come and fix this.
00:24:59There's no signal.
00:25:01We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:25:03We won't.
00:25:05Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:25:09We just need to be patient.
00:25:15What's that for?
00:25:17Just to give us some strength.
00:25:19Friends can hurt, too.
00:25:21Okay.
00:25:23I can't believe this is happening.
00:25:37Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:25:41You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:25:51James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:25:55They'd be so disappointed.
00:25:57We are doing everything we can.
00:25:59We are doing everything we can.
00:26:01And so far, we did good.
00:26:03Everyone is happy.
00:26:05I just think about how far we've come.
00:26:09Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding.
00:26:15And now blackmail?
00:26:17It's like an endless spy game.
00:26:21I know.
00:26:23But we're in this together.
00:26:25We chose this to take control of our life.
00:26:29And now we are tied together by fate.
00:26:31We are one.
00:26:33I suddenly feel so relieved.
00:26:41Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:26:45I know.
00:26:47I always rush to my friends after a bed day.
00:26:49And here I am with a dearest friend.
00:26:53And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom.
00:26:57Now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:26:59Mine, too.
00:27:01My mom called the other day.
00:27:03But when she saw you walk out from the bath,
00:27:05she hung up as soon as she could.
00:27:07But of course, she made fun of us.
00:27:11Or maybe next time I can show up even sexier.
00:27:15And then she can make fun of you some more.
00:27:17I'm sexy now.
00:27:31Maybe we should talk about what just happened.
00:27:35The moment was...
00:27:37I enjoyed it.
00:27:39There is something I never thought I would say.
00:27:41But it's not what we expected.
00:27:43I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:27:47Mia, I have to tell you.
00:27:49I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:27:51I care about you more than I should.
00:27:55I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:28:01I'm in love with you.
00:28:03I actually feel the exact same way.
00:28:15I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:28:19Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection,
00:28:23I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:28:27Let's tell everyone the truth.
00:28:29I'm sure they will understand.
00:28:31Maybe mad at first.
00:28:33But 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.
00:28:39But it's time to set things right.
00:28:41It should be our priority right now.
00:28:53James, 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.
00:29:23We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:29:27This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight.
00:29:31Bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:29:34I chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:29:44And yet, I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:29:48We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:29:51We will find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage.
00:29:55And we will for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:29:58and
00:30:04continue
00:30:06to
00:30:09to
00:30:10to
00:30:16us.
00:30:16Who's there?
00:30:40Anyone here?
00:30:42What do you want from me?
00:30:46You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:30:55Where am I?
00:30:57What did I do?
00:30:59I assure you, there's a misunderstanding.
00:31:03Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:31:06Where are you, Mia?
00:31:08I just need you to be here, your wife.
00:31:11We can talk things out.
00:31:14You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:31:16I will cooperate.
00:31:18If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:31:23Just let me go.
00:31:47Hello?
00:31:48Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:31:51Mia's life depends on you.
00:31:53Don't bother.
00:31:54You won't recognize who I am.
00:31:57What matters is, Mia.
00:31:58You have 24 hours to prepare $5 million if you want to see her alive.
00:32:03Who 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.
00:32:13That's not my concern.
00:32:15Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:32:20I need to be sure she's okay.
00:32:21Let me talk to her.
00:32:22That won't be happening.
00:32:24I 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.
00:32:40They're asking for $5 million in 24 hours.
00:32:43I can't lose her.
00:32:45Well, figure it out, James.
00:32:47I'll do everything I can.
00:32:49I can't lose Mia.
00:32:53I 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 our whole life.
00:33:02Oh, no.
00:33:03This was not meant to happen.
00:33:06I have to find her.
00:33:07I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:33:10We will.
00:33:11But who will commit such a horrible crime?
00:33:15Anyone ring the bell?
00:33:17Mia wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:33:19I can assure you, this has something to do with the 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.
00:33:39Mark, please, I need your help.
00:33:42Mia's life is in danger.
00:33:44I wish I could, James.
00:33:46$5 million is a lot.
00:33:49I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:33:53Save it, Mark.
00:33:53When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help you.
00:33:57You're a fucking nuisance.
00:33:58I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:34:01I might be able to cash this out.
00:34:19Thank you for calling CPM Bank.
00:34:28Mr. 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.
00:34:36Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:34:50It's for an urgent matter.
00:34:52Sure.
00:34:53Since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:34:56I will be there in 20 minutes.
00:34:59Please, please get the cash ready by then.
00:35:02Yes, sir.
00:35:02All noted.
00:35:03Great.
00:35:19Is it ready?
00:35:21Yes.
00:35:22Give me the location.
00:35:23Boom!
00:35:29I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:35:42Do anything to keep you safe.
00:35:44We're in this together.
00:35:49I thought I'd never see you again.
00:35:53Swear to you.
00:35:54I'll protect you with memory.
00:35:59I want to give you both an update.
00:36:11We are investigating the lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:36:15Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers
00:36:18and bringing them to justice.
00:36:23Thank you, Detective.
00:36:24We appreciate your effort.
00:36:29I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:36:38It's not your fault.
00:36:40We'll get through this.
00:36:42Here we go.
00:36:59It's been a while since we had a pissy moon like this.
00:37:09Yeah.
00:37:11It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:37:25Mia!
00:37:26You won't believe this.
00:37:30What 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.
00:37:38That's amazing.
00:37:41I'm going to call my employees to announce this news.
00:37:46And an after party later?
00:37:49You know me too well.
00:37:51Will you pick me up later for our little celebration?
00:37:57Absolutely.
00:37:58I'll meet you at home after work.
00:37:59Yeah.
00:38:02Hmm.
00:38:21Yes.
00:38:22I 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.
00:38:30That's fantastic.
00:38:31I will gather them.
00:38:32Thank you all for your time.
00:38:49I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:38:52Before 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?
00:39:08I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:39:13You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:39:17For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:39:20I'm not sure I know who it is.
00:39:38I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:39:41What's wrong, James?
00:39:59How could that be?
00:40:03I don't know.
00:40:05But we are going to find out soon.
00:40:11Samantha, have you found anything?
00:40:19I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:40:22Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:40:25James, we've made some significant progress.
00:40:28I think we are closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:40:34I'm over yours.
00:40:35Details, please.
00:40:36We managed to trace the source of the blackmail.
00:40:39At times we found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:40:44Richard Kingsley?
00:40:46Never heard that name.
00:40:47And why would he do this?
00:40:49We are still walking on that part.
00:40:51We will gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:40:55Thank you, Samantha.
00:40:56Keep me posted on any updates.
00:40:58I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:41:01Of course, we are so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:41:20I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:41:23I 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.
00:41:30I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:41:33Everything's okay.
00:41:35I'm just glad you're okay.
00:41:37I'm safe and sound.
00:41:39Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:41:44Samantha, the private detective I heard,
00:41:46is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:41:49I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:41:58You know, it's moments like these
00:42:01that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:42:05Contract or not.
00:42:07I feel the same way, Mia.
00:42:09I won't ever want to lose you.
00:42:13I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:42:16It may not be to everyone's taste,
00:42:18but it means a lot to me.
00:42:20It's wonderful.
00:42:25You're really talented.
00:42:28Thank you so much for your support.
00:42:30It means the world to me.
00:42:31James, I trust you are well.
00:42:51I wanted to inform you
00:42:52that there is an urgent meeting scheduled
00:42:55regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:42:58Sure.
00:42:59Where should we meet?
00:43:00I can rearrange some work to make it.
00:43:05That's great.
00:43:07Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:43:11I'll be at your office at 3 p.m.
00:43:13and we can go over all the details.
00:43:16Thank you for your recognition.
00:43:18I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:43:30Hi.
00:43:42I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:43:46My apologies, James. I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events, but our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:43:58Wow. I was not aware of that.
00:44:02Maybe you can catch up with each other. It's a great opportunity. She surely is very excited about this.
00:44:16I'm James Turner. Your...
00:44:46Jimmy? Don't you remember me?
00:44:55I'm sorry, but I can't seem to.
00:45:00Perhaps this will help you to remember?
00:45:08I thought as much. It's me. Your beloved, Mabel.
00:45:16Mabel? What the...
00:45:20You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:45:31You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:45:45I know, Mabel. 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.
00:46:00I'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?
00:46:18Of course I did.
00:46:21Hope you won't change after you leave.
00:46:24I won't.
00:46:30I won't.
00:46:39Mabel?
00:46:41James, I can't explain.
00:46:44I'm so sorry you have to find out like this,
00:46:46but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:46:57Ha!
00:47:00Mabel? What are you doing here?
00:47:05It's Victorian.
00:47:08And for business, of course, darling.
00:47:14What do you play here?
00:47:16What's up with all the charade?
00:47:20Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:47:25You know, for the old time's sake.
00:47:29Old time's sake?
00:47:31You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:47:34What do you want?
00:47:35People change, James.
00:47:38And I 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?
00:47:47A woman like me can get whatever I want was just a little trick.
00:47:55See?
00:47:56I helped you got this project.
00:47:59I've missed you, James.
00:48:01Missed us.
00:48:03We should be together.
00:48:05I'm the only one who can help you.
00:48:09No, Victoria.
00:48:11I won't let you manipulate it.
00:48:13Not again.
00:48:17You have always been a challenge, James.
00:48:25This is not how I imaged our reunion.
00:48:27If 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.
00:48:41James, the 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 time.
00:49:08Fine.
00:49:09Let's be clear.
00:49:11I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:49:17Agree, James.
00:49:19We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:49:39I won't believe what just happened.
00:49:48What's the matter?
00:49:59Wait, Mabelle?
00:50:01Your ex-girlfriend from college?
00:50:04You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:50:06That's the one.
00:50:07She's now going by Victoria and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:50:13She wants my help on the project.
00:50:16I can't shake feeling that there's more to it.
00:50:18I think we have to wait for her move.
00:50:23I need to find out what's really going on, but I can't do it alone.
00:50:26Will you help me, Scott?
00:50:28Of course.
00:50:29Happy to help.
00:50:30She wants you involved in a real estate project, but it's more than just business.
00:50:35I'm sure of it.
00:50:36I have the same feeling.
00:50:38Nothing is ever pure about her.
00:50:39I don't want Mia to worry about this.
00:50:42She's working on an important artwork.
00:50:44And I promised I'll protect her.
00:50:47Of course.
00:50:49I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:50:53Thanks, man.
00:50:54What should I do without you?
00:50:55James, are you okay?
00:51:08You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:51:12Sorry to make your word, babe.
00:51:14Just step with work, you know it.
00:51:16All right.
00:51:17It's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:51:21You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:51:23If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:51:29Babe, it shouldn't worry you.
00:51:32I can handle it myself.
00:51:33Trust me.
00:51:35Okay.
00:51:36Just remember, I'm always here for you.
00:51:40If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm here.
00:51:47Thank you, Mia.
00:51:48You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to me.
00:51:51You focus on me.
00:51:53James, we're one.
00:51:55There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:52:03Hi, Jimmy.
00:52:08Victoria.
00:52:10What an unexpected surprise.
00:52:12I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:52:14I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:52:21I've moved on with my life.
00:52:23I have Mia and she means everything to me.
00:52:26Oh, please, James.
00:52:28You wouldn't let a college flinch cloud your judgment after all these years.
00:52:34Right?
00:52:35Spare me the details.
00:52:37You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:52:40What did you expect me to do, James?
00:52:43You were leaving college and I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:52:48I need someone to back me up.
00:52:51I was a child.
00:52:53I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria.
00:52:57I got over you a long time ago.
00:53:00So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:53:04Come back here, dummy.
00:53:07I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:53:17James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:53:20I just want to be in your life.
00:53:26And you are coming with us to check the new site for our project.
00:53:33It's required by our partnership contract.
00:53:42Mia, 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?
00:53:52That's unexpected.
00:53:53When do you leave?
00:53:55Tomorrow morning.
00:53:57I know.
00:53:57It's a short notice, but I'll be back before you know it.
00:54:02All right, James.
00:54:03Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
00:54:07I will.
00:54:08I'll miss you so much.
00:54:20James, you've had quite a bit.
00:54:33Is everything all right?
00:54:37Just straight.
00:54:40Relax.
00:54:41Everything's fine.
00:54:53Just leave me.
00:54:55You've had enough tonight, James.
00:55:08Let me make sure you're comfortable.
00:55:12Doria, what are you doing?
00:55:15Don't you worry.
00:55:16Don't you worry.
00:55:17We'll have a little chat.
00:55:20You're safe with me.
00:55:23What do you want?
00:55:25You, James.
00:55:28I want you.
00:55:29I want all of you.
00:55:33Your body, your love, and even your soul.
00:55:42Stop it.
00:55:43I'm married.
00:55:45I don't mind.
00:55:48Or maybe this makes you want you more.
00:55:55You enjoy it, don't you?
00:55:56I know exactly how to please you.
00:56:01Yeah, I can do it there.
00:56:04Oh, come on, darling.
00:56:07We all know about your little contract.
00:56:11Besides, she would never find out.
00:56:18Now this is what we're talking about, James.
00:56:26What the hell happened?
00:56:40I can't believe I let it get this far.
00:56:45Don, baby.
00:56:46What's wrong?
00:56:48Victoria, this is a mistake.
00:56:51Did you set me up?
00:56:52Why are you laying next to me?
00:56:53Oh, you were just so energetic.
00:56:59Stop 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.
00:57:15And I saved some pictures for memories.
00:57:19Please.
00:57:22Delete those pictures right now.
00:57:27Why don't you come here and make me?
00:57:31You'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.
00:57:56Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy.
00:58:11You can never run away from me.
00:58:17Oh my god, James, you're home.
00:58:19I miss you 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.
00:58:49I'm just so glad you're here.
00:58:58Hello?
00:59:00Hello, Mia.
00:59:01Who's this?
00:59:04I 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 you will kindly excuse us so we can be together, that would be great.
00:59:36He would never like someone like you.
00:59:38Oh, please.
00:59:40He showed lots of love to me not long ago.
00:59:42He 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.
01:00:01Hey, what's wrong?
01:00:13Nothing.
01:00:16How was your day?
01:00:18Oh, just as usual.
01:00:23Who is Victoria?
01:00:26Victoria, where did you hear that name from?
01:00:32She called me James.
01:00:35She said things.
01:00:37Things I can't believe.
01:00:41What do you believe?
01:00:45Mia, it's...
01:00:47Can you explain?
01:00:49You have to know you're the one and the only one I love.
01:00:58Tell me the truth, James.
01:01:01Is she important to you?
01:01:11She's my ex from college, and also my current business partner.
01:01:20And what about this?
01:01:21Is this part of your business?
01:01:23Is this part of your business partner?
01:01:33We had a businessman.
01:01:34She set me up.
01:01:37I made a mistake.
01:01:39But it's not how it looks like.
01:01:41I 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?
01:01:53I tried to stop her.
01:01:59I was too 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.
01:02:13I'm so sorry.
01:02:15I'll do everything it takes to make this right.
01:02:20Please, don't give up on us.
01:02:23I need some space.
01:02:29Please, just leave me alone.
01:02:41I need some space for you.
01:02:46Like this, I want to have a discounts for you.
01:02:46I'm so sorry.
01:02:47I'll have to leave the money.
01:02:51It's been a challenging investigation.
01:02:54It's been a challenging investigation, but 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.
01:03:24Which made it challenging to track him, but 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.
01:03:54It'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.
01:04:18If you don't tell the truth, I will call the cops on you.
01:04:22Fine.
01:04:24Fine. It was Victoria.
01:04:27Victoria.
01:04:28How did she convince you to do this?
01:04:33She 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.
01:04:44You were manipulated, Richard.
01:04:50You're such a clown.
01:04:59James.
01:05:00I've been seeing you.
01:05:04I thought someone never would want to see me again, huh?
01:05:09Miss me already?
01:05:09Victoria, I want answers.
01:05:15Why did you hire Richard to stalk us?
01:05:19Richard?
01:05:22Never heard any Richard in my life.
01:05:24I know it was you.
01:05:26He told me everything.
01:05:31Okay.
01:05:32It was me.
01:05:34But I did it for us.
01:05:36For us?
01:05:40I don't know there isn't us.
01:05:48I'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.
01:06:17And remember,
01:06:18I want her unharmed.
01:06:22This is just
01:06:23to make James realized
01:06:25he belongs to me.
01:06:27We understand.
01:06:31You get what you want?
01:06:47What?
01:06:53Hello?
01:06:53Hello?
01:06:54Hello?
01:06:57Who's there?
01:06:58Who's there?
01:06:58Who's there?
01:07:03My, my, Mia.
01:07:07What a tangled web we weave.
01:07:13It's me.
01:07:15Victoria.
01:07:17What do you want?
01:07:19I warned you to walk away,
01:07:21but you just wouldn't listen.
01:07:22So I decided to teach you a little less.
01:07:28See?
01:07:29He cried.
01:07:31You would never be good enough for James.
01:07:35He'll never get away with this.
01:07:37James wants nothing to do with you.
01:07:41We'll see about that.
01:07:43You can't control other people's feelings.
01:07:47You're such a bunny.
01:07:49Baby Jimmy 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.
01:08:02Listen to me carefully, Bunny.
01:08:05If 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.
01:08:12James and I are married.
01:08:14And there's nothing you can do about it.
01:08:16Don't be too confident.
01:08:22Just yet.
01:08:29Mia!
01:08:30Hello, Jimmy.
01:08:32What's the hurry?
01:08:35You came as soon as you got the message, huh?
01:08:38I only send you the message
01:08:40to see how much you would sacrifice for Mia.
01:08:43Mia!
01:08:45Let her go.
01:08:45You want me?
01:08:47I'm here.
01:08:49You've got one minute, James.
01:08:52Your precious contract wife
01:08:54or the woman who's loved you all along.
01:09:01Victoria.
01:09:01Why are you doing this?
01:09:06You're risking your own life.
01:09:09You just never believed
01:09:10that I truly loved you, right?
01:09:13I won't even have a life after tonight.
01:09:17But before anything happens,
01:09:18I'll get what I want.
01:09:26Please.
01:09:27Put the gun down.
01:09:29You don't want to end up like this.
01:09:31Mia
01:09:32is the only one in love.
01:09:34Hey, it's over now.
01:09:51We're safe.
01:09:51I was so scared, James.
01:09:54I thought I'd never see you again.
01:09:59I know.
01:10:00I was scared, too.
01:10:02But here we are.
01:10:05And I'll always protect you.
01:10:08You mean the world to me.
01:10:10I love you, James.
01:10:12I love you, too.
01:10:13Why?
01:10:18Why?
01:10:19Why did you betray me?
01:10:22Mia,
01:10:22I never wanted to hurt you.
01:10:25That was all wrong.
01:10:27I know less control.
01:10:28I didn't know how to handle it,
01:10:32so I decided not to tell you,
01:10:34and I'm so sorry.
01:10:36You should have trusted me, James.
01:10:39I'm the kind of woman you can fight with.
01:10:46And yet, Mia.
01:10:48Are you okay?
01:11:07You scared the hell out of me.
01:11:10It's okay.
01:11:11I feel better now.
01:11:13I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:11:17I guess tonight's events took a lot out of me.
01:11:23I'm so sorry for everything that has happened.
01:11:28I love you.
01:11:31And I guess carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:11:39What?
01:11:40What did you just say?
01:11:44Well,
01:11:45I've been having some
01:11:47fainting incidents recently,
01:11:50so
01:11:50I went to the hospital by myself,
01:11:54and
01:11:54it looks like
01:11:57in eight months,
01:11:58you're going to become a dad.
01:12:04What?
01:12:05You are pregnant?
01:12:08Oh, my God!
01:12:10I can't believe.
01:12:12I had no idea.
01:12:14You should have told me earlier.
01:12:17I can't believe we're becoming parents.
01:12:19This is the most exciting moment in my life.
01:12:21I knew you would be happy.
01:12:23James,
01:12:24James,
01:12:24James,
01:12:26with the baby coming,
01:12:28and the incidents behind us,
01:12:31I think it's time we come clean to our parents.
01:12:35They deserve to know the truth,
01:12:37and we have to tell them
01:12:39they have a grandchild on the way.
01:12:42You're right, Mia.
01:12:44It'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?
01:13:00I'm imagining a boy
01:13:03with your intelligence
01:13:05and my sense of beauty.
01:13:08But as long as the little one is healthy,
01:13:11I'm satisfied.
01:13:12Never been more excited about the future.
01:13:15Me too, James.
01:13:17This journey,
01:13:18our journey,
01:13:20it's been a surprise
01:13:21in 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.
01:13:37Breakfast in bed
01:13:38for 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.
01:13:51I believe in us, James.
01:13:53We've gone through a lot of challenges
01:13:57and come out even stronger.
01:14:01Tonight is the last step
01:14:03for us to become a real couple.
01:14:07I'm lucky to have you here by my side, Mia.
01:14:11It doesn't matter how angry they get
01:14:13upon hearing the news.
01:14:16We'll face it together.
