00:00:00We had boyfriends? Interesting.
00:00:10I can't believe we did that.
00:00:14I can soon tell you.
00:00:17Perhaps this will help you to remember?
00:00:25I thought as much.
00:00:27It's me.
00:00:30She would never find out.
00:00:35Now that's what we're talking about, James.
00:00:37Anyone here are talking about James?
00:00:41It's time to tell the truth for you, don't you think?
00:00:45Yes.
00:00:47It's time to tell the truth for you, don't you think?

00:00:57Mia is the only one in love.
00:00:59It's time to tell the truth for you, don't you think?
00:01:02It's time to tell the truth, don't you think?
00:01:15Please, put the gun down.

00:01:32Max Hallen, meet you.
00:01:51Marriage. Suffocating.
00:01:57Please, put the gun down.
00:02:00You don't want to end up like this.
00:02:03Mia is the only one in love.
00:02:17My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:02:25I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:02:30I'm Mia. Pleasure to meet you.
00:02:36It's our endless battle.
00:02:41It's mine.
00:02:45Marriage. Suffocating.
00:02:54James, right? Fancy seeing you here again.
00:02:58Mia, it must be fate.
00:03:01Or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:07Wanna talk?
00:03:12Every single day, to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:03:16And what was your response?
00:03:20Um, I said yes, just to stop for calls, but I don't think there's anyone.
00:03:26You?
00:03:28My parents are obsessed...
00:03:30Family wants to plan my entire life.
00:03:32I'm James.
00:03:33James Turner, by the way.
00:03:34I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:03:35I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:03:39Yeah, I've been thinking...
00:03:40Why don't we help you with our endless battle?
00:03:41It's my...
00:03:42What do you mean?
00:03:47...
00:03:48What do you mean?
00:03:50Maybe we can do the plus...
00:03:53...
00:03:56It's my...
00:04:02What do you mean?
00:04:04Maybe we can do the plus...
00:04:15James, right?
00:04:17Fancy seeing you here again.
00:04:19Mia, you must be fake.
00:04:21Uh, that or you just come here a little too...
00:04:24Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:04:26Okay, boyfriend.
00:04:28Why don't you introduce yourself more to me?
00:04:31Well, I always...
00:04:34How are things going on right?
00:04:36My mom calls me every single day
00:04:40to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:04:44But you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:04:49Wait, are you Mia Davis?
00:04:52Is that Mia Davis?
00:04:54Eds, I don't think there's anyone.
00:04:56You?
00:04:58My parents are obsessed with my kids.
00:05:01Even dolls still sing.
00:05:03Splash cookies.
00:05:07I assure you, we are doing everything we can.
00:05:10I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:05:13We won't let you down.
00:05:33Now, I've been thinking...
00:05:35What if we help each other out here?
00:05:49What do you mean?
00:05:51How about a drink to unwind later?
00:05:53Let me check.
00:05:55Yeah, I can really use that.
00:05:59I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:06:01I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:06:03I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:06:05I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:06:07I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:06:09I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:06:11And we can be free for a long time.
00:06:13It's not what I usually do,
00:06:14but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:06:18This night is just getting more interesting.
00:06:22Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:06:25Not yet. Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:06:28Okay, boyfriend. Why don't you introduce yourself more to me?
00:06:33Well, I own a real estate company. We work with many partners on their...
00:06:39Pleasure to meet Mrs. Davis. She has told me so much about it.
00:06:42Please, call me Maria.
00:06:45Come and eat. Help yourself with some cookies before I finish dressing the turkey.
00:06:53So far, so good.
00:06:55Let's keep it up.
00:06:57I'm the gallery owner. Not to show off, but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan too.
00:07:04I feel like we're a real couple.
00:07:08So, you two, tell me how you met.
00:07:13Of course.
00:07:15It was a charming little buffet on the 3rd Avenue.
00:07:19You know, we're sitting alone reading a chat for each of these.
00:07:23And we're just striking up a conversation.
00:07:26Oh, how I met you.
00:07:29I'm so happy you guys met each other.
00:07:33It's been too long for me.
00:07:35I'm so happy.
00:07:37I assure you, we are doing everything we can.
00:07:42I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:07:45We won't let you down.
00:07:47Your mom's here. What do we do?
00:07:57Uh, quick. Come in here.
00:08:01Come in.
00:08:05Good morning, lovebirds. I can see you had a lovely night.
00:08:15Stop it, mom. You're making it awkward.
00:08:17Look at you. All glowing.
00:08:21I'll do everything for my princess.
00:08:26Okay, um, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:08:30Okay, okay. Just don't take too long. And she'll-
00:08:35Angela?
00:08:36How did you have time to call me today?
00:08:38Is this a bad time? You sound like you've had a rough day.
00:08:43I have to say, it was quite a play in your house.
00:08:46It was perfect. They all bought it.
00:08:49Remember, how are your mom-
00:08:51How about a drink to unwind later?
00:08:53Let me check.
00:08:57So, has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit?
00:09:02They just won't let the topic off you.
00:09:05Same here.
00:09:13Knowing my mom, she'll definitely want you to stay over.
00:09:16So, we'll probably spend-
00:09:24You know, James, it's nice like these that-
00:09:27Sounds like a plan.
00:09:32Here we go, James. Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:09:43Got it.
00:09:49I love! I love!
00:09:51It might help both of us.
00:09:53I'm all ears.
00:09:55I'm thinking.
00:09:57What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:10:00I love thinking.
00:10:02What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:10:04Please, call me Maria.
00:10:06Call my name.
00:10:07Help yourself with some cookies.
00:10:08Before I finish dressing the turkey.
00:10:10So far, what contract with?
00:10:11Maybe separate bedrooms?
00:10:12Financial terms and so on?
00:10:13Oh.
00:10:14No feelings should be included.
00:10:15This is huge.
00:10:16I need to think about it.
00:10:17I know.
00:10:18It's not something I do with a person from you.
00:10:19Me too.
00:10:20I feel like we're a real couple.
00:10:21So-
00:10:22No lives without their interference.
00:10:23It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:10:25It's just-
00:10:27Like I said, love-
00:10:28It was a charming little cafe.
00:10:29No feelings should be included.
00:10:30No feelings should be included.
00:10:31No feelings should be included.
00:10:32No feelings should be included.
00:10:33No feelings should be included.
00:10:34This is huge.
00:10:35I need to think about it.
00:10:36I know.
00:10:37It's not something I do with a person from you.
00:10:38Me too.
00:10:39I feel like we're a real couple.
00:10:40So-
00:10:42We're a real couple.
00:10:43So-
00:10:44We're a real couple.
00:10:45We're a real couple of lives without their interference.
00:10:47It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:10:51It's just-
00:10:52Like I said, love-
00:10:55It was a charming little cafe on the 3rd Avenue, you know, we were sitting alone, reading...
00:11:00Because naturally...
00:11:02Get it Mia, I do.
00:11:04But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:11:07And we need to adapt to that.
00:11:09Our life won't change a bit.
00:11:11Just more freedom with this contract.
00:11:13But what about the no emotions term?
00:11:17Should we really...
00:11:18It's been too long for a minute to walk us on a society.
00:11:23You do make a good point.
00:11:30I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:11:35But we need to set boundaries.
00:11:39Conditions.
00:11:41We'll stick with friendship.
00:11:43Contractual partners.
00:11:45Agreed, Mia.
00:11:47I'll write the legal contract, and we should both be clear about all this...
00:11:51What do we do?
00:11:53Uh...
00:11:54Quick, come in here.
00:11:56Make it done tomorrow.
00:11:58While our squad will take care of everything.
00:12:00Deal.
00:12:01I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:12:02Yeah.
00:12:03We've got that formula.
00:12:04Let's go through this contract together.
00:12:05I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:12:08Yeah.
00:12:09We've got that formula.
00:12:10Let's go through this contract together.
00:12:12Okay.
00:12:13Separate bedrooms.
00:12:15Uh...
00:12:16Okay.
00:12:17Uh...
00:12:18Okay.
00:12:19Uh...
00:12:20Okay.
00:12:21Uh...
00:12:22Okay.
00:12:23Uh...
00:12:24Okay.
00:12:25We've got that formula.
00:12:29Let's go through this contract together.
00:12:31Okay.
00:12:35Separate bedrooms...
00:12:39Okay, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:12:45Okay, okay, just don't take too long.
00:12:47And why don't you get back to the city today?
00:12:55I have to say it was quite a play in your house.
00:13:04It was perfect. They...
00:13:10I still can't believe we did that.
00:13:14So, I was about to jump out when I heard that knock.
00:13:18But we made it.
00:13:21Oh, it's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:13:26Yes, then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it.
00:13:30They just won't let the topic off you.
00:13:32Same here.
00:13:33But now, my mom won't stop asking me about...
00:13:44Did you turn the camera on?
00:13:47Yeah, it's working.
00:13:53Oh yeah.
00:14:03You know James, it's nice like these that...
00:14:06I know there's beauty in commitment, but...
00:14:18Shouldn't it be our own life choice to make?
00:14:25I can't believe we just did that.
00:14:28It's all part of that.
00:14:30All of my freedoms?
00:14:41No thank you.
00:14:45A couple in front of everyone.
00:14:50Of course.
00:14:51Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:14:54It might help both of us.
00:14:56I'm all ears.
00:14:57I'm thinking.
00:15:01What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:15:07Another successful play.
00:15:13It's getting harder for me to tell between no...
00:15:17Please elaborate.
00:15:20What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:15:23A contract marriage?
00:15:26Yeah.
00:15:29Let's get some rest.
00:15:31Good night.
00:15:33Good night.
00:15:36A contract with?
00:15:38Maybe separate bedrooms?
00:15:40Financial terms and so on?
00:15:42Oh.
00:15:46Mia.
00:15:47Are you okay?
00:15:49Please.
00:15:51About it.
00:15:53I know.
00:15:55It's not something to deal with the person who you just met.
00:15:58But think about us.
00:16:00The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:16:03So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:16:08It's...
00:16:10I saw their faces.
00:16:12They believed in us.
00:16:14It was all a huge lie.
00:16:16I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:16:21It's not easy for me either.
00:16:24But we have to hang in there.
00:16:27We can't let them down right now.
00:16:28I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:16:48I wish that too, Mia.
00:16:50But I promise.
00:16:52We can get through.
00:16:54I promise.
00:17:03It's necessary.
00:17:05We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:17:08If we'll make things difficult.
00:17:10You do make a good point.
00:17:15I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:17:21But...
00:17:23We need to set boundaries.
00:17:25Conditions.
00:17:27We'll stick with friendship.
00:17:29Contractual partners.
00:17:31Agreed, Mia.
00:17:33I'll write the legal contract, and we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:17:37Oh, and one more thing, James.
00:17:40We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this.
00:17:43We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:17:48Absolutely.
00:17:50Our contract won't affect any of our lives.
00:17:53We can make it done tomorrow.
00:17:55While our squad will take care of everything.
00:17:59Deal.
00:18:06I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:18:17Yeah.
00:18:19We've got that formula.
00:18:23Let's go through this country.
00:18:25Is there any candle?
00:18:31James.
00:18:33Bedrooms.
00:18:35No feelings, Claus.
00:18:42Oh.
00:18:50Sorry.
00:18:55Hello?
00:18:57I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you.
00:19:00A gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:19:04Someone knows our secret.
00:19:06What should we do?
00:19:10Someone knows our secret.
00:19:13What should we do?
00:19:14I just can't believe we did that.
00:19:24So, what's next?
00:19:26We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:19:27I'll propose to you in your apartment and send pictures to our families.
00:19:28Oh.
00:19:29It's a lot to get done just to prove-
00:19:30I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:19:31It's all part of the plan.
00:19:32It's all part of the plan.
00:19:33I really want to get this out of my mind.
00:19:34I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:19:37It's all part of the plan.
00:19:38It's all part of the plan.
00:19:39It's all part of the plan.
00:19:40I really want to get this out of my head.
00:19:41Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:19:42A bloody reality.
00:19:43But-
00:19:44It's all part of the plan.
00:19:45It's all part of the plan.
00:19:46It's all part of the plan.
00:19:47I really want to get this out of my head.
00:19:49Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:19:52It's all part of the plan.
00:19:53It's all part of the plan.
00:19:55I really want to get this out of my head.
00:19:58Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:19:59A bloody reality.
00:20:04But I still like it.
00:20:05It's our story.
00:20:07A bloody reality.
00:20:12But-
00:20:13I still like it.
00:20:16It's our story.
00:20:22Mia, there is something I'm going to ask you tonight.
00:20:32Yes?
00:20:36Mia, will you marry me?
00:20:39Oh my God, James, yes!
00:20:52Oh, there's no signal. We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:20:58We won't. Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix that.
00:21:16I can't believe we just did that.
00:21:19It's all part of that.
00:21:22Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:21:28You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:21:35James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:21:40They'd be so disappointed.
00:21:44We are doing everything we can. So far, we did good. Everyone is happy.
00:21:49I just think about how far we've come. Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail? It's like an endless spy game.
00:22:06I know. But we're in this together. We chose this to take control of our life. And now we're...
00:22:15I'm so relieved. Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:22:26I know. I always rush to my friends after a bad day. And here I am with a dearest friend.
00:22:35And now maybe I can finally get some space for my mom.
00:22:38All this and the truth.
00:22:41I know, but...
00:22:43We have to stay firm.
00:22:46Focus on the bigger picture.
00:22:48Neither of us wants a real marriage right now.
00:22:51And then she can make fun of you some more.
00:22:53Maybe we should talk about what just happened. The moment was...
00:23:13I enjoyed it. There is something I never thought I would say.
00:23:17But...
00:23:23Mia, are you okay?
00:23:30Please, open up. Talk to me.
00:23:35I actually feel the exact same way.
00:23:41I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:23:44But everyone's faces...
00:23:47They were so happy and blessed us with their whole...
00:23:50Let's tell everyone the truth. I'm sure they will understand.
00:23:55Maybe mad at first, but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:23:59Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:24:02I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right.
00:24:05It should be our priority right now.
00:24:09I saw their faces. They believed in us.
00:24:12They believed in us.
00:24:14It was all...
00:24:17James...
00:24:19Our parents aside...
00:24:21I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:24:24Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:24:29Mia, I have no idea.
00:24:31But I hired an investigator.
00:24:33Hope we can't let them down right now.
00:24:34And yet, I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:24:48We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:24:50And yet, I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:25:00We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:25:03We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage.
00:25:07And we for sure...
00:25:20Who's there?
00:25:40Mia.
00:25:42We agreed.
00:25:45What do you want from me?
00:25:50I know.
00:25:55But...
00:25:56This needs you to behave right now.
00:26:08We can talk things out.
00:26:10You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:26:12I will cooperate.
00:26:20Hello?
00:26:25Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:26:45Mia's life depends on you.
00:26:47Don't bother.
00:26:53Live.
00:26:54Who are you?
00:26:55And what do you want?
00:26:56That is not a question for me to answer.
00:26:59Just do as I said.
00:27:01I can't arrange that much money.
00:27:02It's okay.
00:27:09Let me talk to you.
00:27:10That won't be happening.
00:27:12I swear.
00:27:13If you dare to touch her,
00:27:15I will hunt you down
00:27:16and pull out your eyes myself.
00:27:29And I can.
00:27:30I can't lose Mia.
00:27:35I thought a relationship between you two
00:27:37was strictly based on the contract.
00:27:40Right here, Mia.
00:27:41Is there any candle?
00:27:48James.
00:27:55So...
00:27:56Any...
00:27:56Blackmail?
00:27:58Someone has been stalking us.
00:28:02They know about the contract marriage
00:28:03and threaten to expose us.
00:28:05Whatever it takes,
00:28:06I will hunt this person down.
00:28:12Mark, please.
00:28:13I need your help.
00:28:16Sorry.
00:28:21Hello?
00:28:22Hello?
00:28:22I hope you enjoy the champagne I sent you.
00:28:26A gift to you has also come to an end.
00:28:44What should we do?
00:28:47I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:28:58I want to cash it out immediately.
00:29:09Can you get money from me in an hour?
00:29:11It's for an urgent matter.
00:29:14Sure.
00:29:15I've been thinking about the date we met.
00:29:19It feels like...
00:29:20a la...
00:29:21Great.
00:29:29And I'm glad that I met you.
00:29:31You're such a special woman
00:29:33and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:29:36Yes.
00:29:37Give me the location.
00:29:38Boom!
00:29:53I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:29:56Do anything to keep you safe.
00:29:59We're in this together.
00:30:02Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding,
00:30:04I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:30:17It's not a fairy tale.
00:30:20It's a bloody reality.
00:30:23But...
00:30:23I still like it.
00:30:25It's our story.
00:30:29Good detective.
00:30:30We appreciate your efforts.
00:30:38Oops.
00:30:38It's been a while since we had a busy room like this.
00:31:08Yeah, it's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:31:25Mia!
00:31:28There's no signal! We could be trapped in here for hours!
00:31:33They love my pitch!
00:31:34Oh my god, James, that's amazing!
00:31:38I'm gonna call my employees to announce this news.
00:31:41Yes, you just need to be patient.
00:31:47Will you pick me up later for a little celebration?
00:31:51Absolutely! I'll meet you at home after work!
00:32:00Yes, I need you to gather the people online for a meeting. We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:32:09Wow! That's fantastic! I will gather them!
00:32:18What if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:32:21They'd be so disappointed!
00:32:22Curious! Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:32:28Our president insisted you were the perfect fit. She said you're an old friend.
00:32:35An old friend? I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:32:42You'll find out soon enough, James. For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:33:19What's wrong, James?
00:33:49Who could that be?
00:33:55I don't know, but we are going to find out soon.
00:34:08Samantha, have you found anything?
00:34:11I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:34:13Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:34:16James, we've made some significant progress.
00:34:20I think we are closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:34:25I'm over yours.
00:34:27Details please.
00:34:28When we managed to trace the source of the blackmail, at times we found a connection
00:34:32to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:34:35Richard Kingsley?
00:34:36Never heard that name.
00:34:38And why would he do this?
00:34:40We're still walking on that part.
00:34:42We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:34:46Thank you, Samantha.
00:34:48Keep me posted on any updates.
00:34:49I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:34:56Maybe we should talk about what just happened?
00:35:06The moment was...
00:35:08I enjoyed it.
00:35:09There is something I never thought I would say.
00:35:11But it's not what we expected.
00:35:13I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:35:19Mia, I have to tell you.
00:35:21I don't want to lie to myself or to you and the person behind all this.
00:35:24I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:35:28You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:35:41Contract or not.
00:35:42I feel the same way, Mia.
00:35:45I won't ever want to lose you.
00:35:48I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:35:52It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:35:57I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:36:02Although we got into this relation...
00:36:06Hello?
00:36:20James, I trust that they will be happy for us in the end.
00:36:25Her families will be shocked when they find out.
00:36:28I know, Mia.
00:36:29But it's time to set things right.
00:36:31It should be our priority right now.
00:36:33James.
00:36:34Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:36:46Mia, I have no idea.
00:36:47But I hired an investigator, hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:36:51I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:36:56Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:36:57It's a great opportunity.
00:36:58She surely is very excited about this.
00:37:01She surely is very excited about this.
00:37:08I have no idea.
00:37:09I have no idea.
00:37:10I have no idea.
00:37:11I have no idea.
00:37:12I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:37:14Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:37:16It's a great opportunity.
00:37:17She surely is very excited about this.
00:37:21She surely is very excited about this.
00:37:43I'm James Turner, you're...
00:38:01Jimmy, don't you remember me?
00:38:08Catch the person hunting us.
00:38:13You know, my Belle, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:38:42I know, babe. I can't believe you're graduating. I'm day flying.
00:38:48Life after college, it's a bit scary, but I'm so excited. I want to work in real estate.
00:38:56Anyone here? What do you want from me?
00:39:00What do you want from me?
00:39:09You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:39:11Where am I?
00:39:23Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:39:25Don't worry, you will know what we want soon enough. I just...
00:39:29I'm so sorry I have to find out like this, but...
00:39:32...Madella and I have been together for a while now.
00:39:34...to a chair. I will cooperate. If it is money, I can give it to you. Just let me go.
00:39:46Fine.
00:39:50What are you playing here? What's up with all the charade?
00:39:56For all time's sake, you cheated on me with my best friend. What do you want?
00:40:12People change, James.
00:40:14Hello?
00:40:17Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:40:20Maya's life depends on you. Don't bother. You won't recognize who I am.
00:40:27I helped you got this project. I've missed you, James. Missed us. We should be together.
00:40:35What?
00:40:36Who are you and what do you want?
00:40:38That is not a question for me to answer. Just do as I said.
00:40:42I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:40:45That's not my concern.
00:40:47Always been a challenge, James.
00:40:49This is not how I imaged our reunion. If you come here to talk about that project, let's get to it. Otherwise...
00:40:56It's okay. Let me talk to you.
00:40:57That won't be happening.
00:40:59I swear, if you dare to touch her...
00:41:02Let's get professional.
00:41:04James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our past. I trust you on your own.
00:41:12I don't know what to do, Scott. They're asking for 5 millions in 24 hours. I can't lose her.
00:41:22We'll figure it out, James. I'll do everything that I can.
00:41:27I can't lose me.
00:41:29Agree, James. We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:41:33Scott, you won't believe what just happened.
00:41:43Scott, you won't believe what just happened.
00:42:02What's the matter?
00:42:03Wait, Mabel? Your ex-girlfriend from college? You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:42:19That's the one. She's now going by Victoria and she's the president of this...
00:42:24Someone has been stalking us. They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:42:29Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:42:31Mark, please, I need your help. Mia's life is in danger.
00:42:41I wish I could.
00:42:41Nothing is ever clear about her. I don't want Mia to worry about this.
00:42:46She's working on an important artwork. And I promised I'll protect her.
00:42:50This is in such a short time.
00:42:52Save it, Mark. When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help.
00:42:56I'm gonna be able to catch this up.
00:43:22If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm here.
00:43:36Thank you, Mia.
00:43:38We focus on the defecative deposit with your bank.
00:43:40I want to cash it out immediately.
00:43:43I understand the urgency.
00:43:45Please give us a moment.
00:43:52Victoria, what an unexpected surprise.
00:43:56I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:44:01I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:44:04I've moved on with my life.
00:44:06I have Mia, and she means everything to me.
00:44:09Oh, please, James.
00:44:12You wouldn't let a college flinch close your judgment after all these years, right?
00:44:18Spare me the details.
00:44:20You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:44:23What did you expect me to do, James?
00:44:27You were leaving college, and I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:44:32I need someone to back me up.
00:44:34I was a child.
00:44:35I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria.
00:44:41I got over you a long time ago.
00:44:43So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:44:47Come back here, dummy.
00:44:50I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:45:00James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:45:04I just wanted to be in your life.
00:45:09And...
00:45:10I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:45:15Do anything to keep you safe.
00:45:17We're in this together.
00:45:22I thought I'd never see you again.
00:45:25I swear to you.
00:45:27We'll protect you with memory.
00:45:28Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers and bringing them to justice.
00:45:47Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers and bringing them to justice.
00:45:59Thank you, Detective.
00:46:00We appreciate your efforts.
00:46:07I'm sorry.
00:46:08Everything's fine.
00:46:12Just leave me.
00:46:17We'll get for this.
00:46:21You.
00:46:24Let me make sure you're comfortable.
00:46:29Doria.
00:46:30What are you...
00:46:31doing?
00:46:32You love.
00:46:47And even your soul.
00:46:52Stop.
00:46:53I'm...
00:46:54I'm married.
00:46:55I don't mind.
00:46:59Or maybe you'll see if you'll want you more.
00:47:06You enjoy it, don't you?
00:47:08I know exactly how to please you.
00:47:12You...
00:47:12I can do it, darling.
00:47:15Oh, come on, darling.
00:47:18We all know about you.
00:47:20We will come to you.
00:47:21You won't believe this.
00:47:24What is it?
00:47:26The company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:47:30They love my pitch.
00:47:31Oh, my God, James.
00:47:32That's amazing.
00:47:35I'm gonna call my employees to announce this news.
00:47:41And...
00:47:41an after party later?
00:47:43You know me too well.
00:47:47Will you pick me up later for a little celebration?
00:47:51Absolutely.
00:47:52I'll meet you at home after work.
00:47:53Yeah, yeah.
00:47:55I won't be blackmailed or manipulated.
00:48:19Delete them.
00:48:20Now.
00:48:20You're just no fun, James.
00:48:33I want you to step away from my life.
00:48:35This can't happen again.
00:48:38We'll see about that.
00:48:40Oh, Jimmy.
00:48:53Oh, Jimmy.
00:48:53Jimmy.
00:48:55You can never run away from me.
00:48:59I'm on board to execute this project.
00:49:01Before I finish, I'm just curious.
00:49:06Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:49:10Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:49:14She said you're an old friend.
00:49:16An old friend?
00:49:17I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:49:23You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:49:26For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:49:36Also my current business partner.
00:49:39And what about this?
00:49:41Is this part of your business?
00:49:42We had a businessman.
00:49:54She set me up.
00:49:56I made a mistake.
00:49:58But it's not how it looks like.
00:50:01I love you.
00:50:02And I don't want her to ruin us.
00:50:06Tell me the truth, James.
00:50:08What happened that night?
00:50:15What's wrong, James?
00:50:18Too drunk and also confused.
00:50:22I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
00:50:28I don't know.
00:50:30But we are going to find out soon.
00:50:38Please, just leave me alone.
00:50:43I think we are close to uncovering who has been trying to blackmail you.
00:51:02We are a major investigation.
00:51:04But I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley.
00:51:09I'm listening.
00:51:12Source of the blackmail attempts.
00:51:13We found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:51:17Richard Kingsley?
00:51:19Never heard that name.
00:51:20And why would he do this?
00:51:22We're still walking and keep a low profile, which made it challenging to track him, but
00:51:29we've identified his patterns and his current location.
00:51:33Keep me posted on any updates, I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his
00:51:37motives.
00:51:38Of course, you and Mia deserve peace, James.
00:51:41I will continue to monitor the situation, but please take legal action to protect yourself.
00:51:47I'll take care of her, and it's time for me to take control.
00:52:03I received these pictures of you in the apartment, I tried to call you many times and you didn't
00:52:08answer.
00:52:09Like you would never think of such a deliberate plan.
00:52:11If you don't tell the truth, I will call the cops on you.
00:52:15Fine, fine, it was Victoria, Victoria.
00:52:21How did she convince you to do this?
00:52:27She told me about your contract marriage, she told me you don't even care about Mia.
00:52:34She promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back.
00:52:40You were manipulated Richard, you're such a clown.
00:52:44In one piece, after what he has done.
00:52:49You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:52:59Contract or not.
00:53:00I feel the same way, Mia.
00:53:03I won't ever want to lose you.
00:53:08I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:53:10It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:53:18It's wonderful.
00:53:19You're really talented.
00:53:21Thank you so much for your support.
00:53:25It means the world to me.
00:53:29Hello?
