00:00:00We had boyfriends? Interesting.
00:00:09I still can't believe we did that.
00:00:13Mia, will you marry me?
00:00:15Yes! Oh my god!
00:00:20I can soon tell you.
00:00:23Perhaps this will help you to remember?
00:00:30I thought as much.
00:00:33It's me.
00:00:34Open off, my dog.
00:00:36She would never find out.
00:00:40Now this is what we're talking about, James.
00:01:00Anyone here?
00:01:04What do you want from me?
00:01:16It's time to tell the truth, don't you think?
00:01:19Please, put the gun down.
00:01:27You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:30Mia is the only one in love.
00:01:49I'm here, James.
00:01:51I'm here.
00:01:53I'm here.
00:01:55I'm here.
00:01:56I'm here.
00:01:58I'm here.
00:01:59MacAllen, meet.
00:02:00Okay.
00:02:02Marriage.
00:02:04Suffocating.
00:02:08Tell me about it.
00:02:11Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:02:15Family pressures, right?
00:02:17Right?
00:02:19Wanna talk?
00:02:25My family have been on my case for years.
00:02:28It's like 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.
00:02:54To our endless battle.
00:02:59To my new comrade.
00:03:15James, right?
00:03:17Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:19Mia? Must be fate.
00:03:22Or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:27Scotch. Neat.
00:03:28Got it.
00:03:29How are things going on your end?
00:03:30My mom calls me every single day to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:03:42And what was your response?
00:03:43I said yes, just to stop her calls, but I don't think there's anyone. You?
00:03:53My parents are obsessed with my kids. Even dolls still sing.
00:03:57Splash, please.
00:03:58Here. To our endless battle.
00:03:59Mia, I've been thinking. Why don't we help each other out here?
00:04:13What do you mean?
00:04:14Maybe we can do the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:04:28Quick boyfriend?
00:04:29Interesting.
00:04:30Only once. We can be free for a long time.
00:04:31It's not what I usually do, but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:04:32These 90s just keep getting more interesting.
00:04:33So, what do you mean?
00:04:35What do you mean?
00:04:36What do you mean?
00:04:38Maybe we can do the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:04:43Big boyfriend? Interesting.
00:04:46Only once. And we can be free for a long time.
00:04:51It's not what I usually do, but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:04:57need right now. This night is just getting more interesting. Sounds like the craziest
00:05:03night I've ever had. Not yet. Wait till Thanksgiving. Okay, boyfriend, why don't you introduce yourself
00:05:12more to me? Well, I own a real estate company. We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:19You sure look like a boss. The scotch gives it away. All right, InĂĄclavĂĄ, tell me something
00:05:26about yourself. Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner. Not to show off, but you've probably
00:05:34seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already. Wait, are you Mia Davis? That Mia Davis? In
00:05:43the flesh, darling. I understand the emergence, but this is not how negotiation works. I need
00:05:54this to be done in three days. Our investors are not going to wait for us. Anderson, I assure
00:06:02you, we are doing everything we can. I trust you because you are the best I've got. We won't
00:06:07let you down.
00:06:14the an MVP.
00:06:15the
00:06:22the

00:06:33the
00:06:36the
00:06:38Hey there!
00:06:39Mia!
00:06:40What a pleasant surprise!
00:06:42How did you have time to call me today?
00:06:44Is this a bad time?
00:06:46You sound like you've had a rough day.
00:06:48It was one of those days.
00:06:50Well, sounds like you could use a break.
00:06:53How about a drink to unwind later?
00:06:57Let me check.
00:07:00Yeah, I can really use that.
00:07:02I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:07:08Knowing 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.
00:07:24Sounds like a plan.
00:07:34Here we go, James.
00:07:36Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:07:40Got it.
00:07:46Mom! I'm home!
00:07:48Mia!
00:07:50It's been so long.
00:07:52Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:07:56It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Davis.
00:07:58Mia's told you so much about it.
00:08:00Please, call me Maria.
00:08:02Come and eat.
00:08:04Help yourself with some cookies.
00:08:06Before I finish dressing with turkey.
00:08:10So far, so good.
00:08:12Let's keep it up.
00:08:20You know, I'm actually enjoying this day.
00:08:22Me too.
00:08:24I feel like we're a real couple.
00:08:28Yeah.
00:08:30So, you two.
00:08:32Tell me how you met.
00:08:34Of course.
00:08:36It was a charming little cafe on the 3rd Avenue.
00:08:38I know we're sitting alone, reading, uh,
00:08:42the chat here, we treated it.
00:08:44And I think we resist striking out the conversation.
00:08:46Oh, I met you.
00:08:48Oh, how I met you.
00:08:50I'm so happy you guys, you met each other.
00:08:54It's been too long for me to walk from silence so deeply.
00:08:58I'm so happy you guys, you met each other.
00:09:00It's been too long for me to walk from silence so deeply.
00:09:02Your mom's here. What do we do?
00:09:24Uh, quick, come in here.
00:09:27Come in.
00:09:37Good morning, lovebirds. I can see you had a lovely night.
00:09:42Stop it, mom. You're making it awkward. Look at you, all glowing.
00:09:51I'll do everything for my princess.
00:09:54Okay, um, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:09:59Okay, okay, just don't take too long. And she'll let you get back to the city today.
00:10:05I have to say it was quite a play in your house.
00:10:16It was perfect. They all bought it.
00:10:19Remember how your mom almost got us in the bedroom.
00:10:22My heart was about to jump out when I heard that knock. But we made it.
00:10:27So, 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.
00:10:43Let's just share the night we have right now.
00:10:50Well, we still can.
00:10:52You know James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:11:08I feel the same. I know there's beauty in commitment, but shouldn't it be our own life choice to make?
00:11:17Exactly. I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends.
00:11:23Telling me to rush into a life? Raising kids in a house and giving up all of my freedoms? No thank you.
00:11:33Wait. I have an idea. It might help both of us.
00:11:43I'm all ears.
00:11:45Thinking. What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:11:51Thinking. What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:11:56Please elaborate.
00:12:03What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:12:09A contract marriage?
00:12:11Yeah. Our 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? Oh. No feelings should be included.
00:12:26This is huge. I need to think about it.
00:12:30I know. It's not something to deal with the person who you just met. But think about this. The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations. So we can take control of our own lives without their interference. It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:12:50It's just, like I said, love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual. They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:13:05Get it, Mia. I do. But sometimes life doesn't follow our script. And we need to adapt to that. Our life won't change a bit. Just more freedom with this contract.
00:13:16But what about the no emotions term? Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:13:23It's necessary. We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other. It will make things difficult.
00:13:30Well, you do make a good point. I do want to take control over my own destiny again. But we need to set boundaries. Conditions. We'll stick with friendship. Contractual partners.
00:13:51Agreed, Mia. I'll write the legal contract and we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:13:58Oh, and one more thing, James. We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this. We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:14:09Absolutely. Our contract won't affect any of our lives. We can make it done tomorrow. While our script will take care of everything.
00:14:19Deal. Deal. I can't believe we're actually doing this. Yeah, we've got that formula. Let's go through this contract together. Okay.
00:14:43Okay. Separate bedrooms. The no feelings clause. And clear financial terms. Yep.
00:15:03We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:15:05We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:15:07We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:15:21I just can't believe we did that.
00:15:34So, what's next?
00:15:37We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:15:40I'll propose to you in your apartment and send pictures to our families.
00:15:45Oh, 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.
00:15:54It's all part of the plan.
00:15:56I really want to get this out of my head.
00:15:59Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:16:11Did you turn the camera on?
00:16:14Yeah, it's working.
00:16:19Mia, there is something I'm going to ask you tonight.
00:16:23Yes?
00:16:28Mia, will you marry me?
00:16:31Oh my God, James.
00:16:32Yes!
00:16:37Oh my God.
00:16:39Oh my God.
00:16:39I can't believe we just did that.
00:17:04It's all part of that.
00:17:05This is our first big show on the stage.
00:17:21We have to make sure that we look like a happy couple in front of everyone.
00:17:25Of course.
00:17:30Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:17:32Another successful play.
00:17:54It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:18:01I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:18:07Focus on the bigger picture.
00:18:09Neither of us wants a real marriage right now.
00:18:12And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:18:15Let's get some rest.
00:18:22Good night.
00:18:23Good night.
00:18:23Good night.
00:18:39Mia, are you okay?
00:18:41Please, open up.
00:18:46Talk to me.
00:18:49I can't do this, James.
00:18:52At the wedding, I saw everyone's faces.
00:18:56They were so happy and blessed us with their whole hearts.
00:19:01I feel like I betrayed every one of them.
00:19:05But we are already here.
00:19:09There is no way of going back.
00:19:12I saw their faces.
00:19:15They believed in us.
00:19:17It was all a huge lie.
00:19:20I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:19:24It's not easy for me either.
00:19:27But we have to hang in there.
00:19:30We can't let them down right now.
00:19:32I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:19:53I wish to do, Mia.
00:19:54But I promise, we can't get through.
00:19:56I promise.
00:19:58James, I have something that I want to say.
00:20:23Mia, we agreed.
00:20:30No feelings.
00:20:35I know.
00:20:38But...
00:20:39Complements of a friend.
00:20:48James, enjoy your evening.
00:21:02James, what's this?
00:21:05Thanks.
00:21:19Oh.
00:21:26Oh, my.
00:21:31Oh.
00:21:31Oh.
00:21:31Oh.
00:21:31Oh, my.
00:21:31Oh.
00:21:32Oh, no.
00:21:32Okay.
00:21:33Oh, my.
00:21:34James?
00:21:55Where are you?
00:21:59Right here Mia.
00:22:02Is there any candle?
00:22:04No.
00:22:10James.
00:22:16So, any clue on that note?
00:22:23Oh.
00:22:32Sorry.
00:22:37Hello?
00:22:38I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you. A gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:22:44Someone knows our secret.
00:22:54What should we do?
00:22:56You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:23:08You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:23:20Feels like a lifetime ago.
00:23:24A lifetime ago.
00:23:25I know.
00:23:26And I'm glad that I met you.
00:23:27You're such a special woman and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:23:36You too.
00:23:37I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:23:45Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:23:57It's not a fairy tale.
00:24:09It's a bloody reality.
00:24:10But, I still like it.
00:24:14It's our story.
00:24:15It's our story.
00:24:16What's happening?
00:24:36what's happening we're stuck what do we do I need to be there on time let's call
00:24:50the building they should come and fix this
00:24:55there's no signal we could be trapped in here for hours we won't someone will notice the elevator
00:25:10went wrong and come to fix this you just need to be patient what's that for just to give us some
00:25:22strength friends can help to okay I can't believe this is happening well at least it's a short break
00:25:42from our complex life you always find a way to be positive don't you
00:25:52James what if people find out about our contract marriage they'd be so disappointed
00:26:00we're doing everything we can so far we did good everyone is happy
00:26:07I just think about how far we've come since the day we met there was the gala the proposal
00:26:16the wedding and now blackmail it's like an endless spy game I know we're in this together
00:26:28we chose this to take control of our life now we're tied together by fate we are one
00:26:36I suddenly feel so relieved maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore
00:26:47I know I always rush to my friends after a bed day and here I am with a dearest friend
00:26:54and now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom now that I'm busy with my new husband
00:27:02mine too my mom called the other day but when she saw you walk out from the bath she hung up as soon
00:27:09as she could but of course she made fun of us or maybe next time I can show up even sexier
00:27:17maybe we should talk about what just happened the moment was enjoyed it there's something I never thought I would say
00:27:24but it's not what we expected I thought we got into this to avoid marriage
00:27:31Mia I have to tell you I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore I care about you more than I should
00:27:38was... I enjoyed it. There is something I never thought I would say. But it's not
00:27:45what we expected. I thought we got into this to avoid marriage. Mia, I have to
00:27:51tell you, I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore. I care about you more
00:27:58than I should. I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:28:05I'm in love with you.
00:28:12I actually feel the exact same way. I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:28:21Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection, I'm glad that fate brought
00:28:28us together.
00:28:31Let's tell everyone the truth. I'm sure they will understand. Maybe mad at first,
00:28:36but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:28:38Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:28:41I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right. It should be our priority right now.
00:28:46James, our parents aside, I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the
00:29:05bar. Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:29:09Mia, I have no idea. But I hired an investigator, hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:29:16I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:29:20We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess. This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight,
00:29:32bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:29:35I chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:29:39And yet, I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:29:44We will get ourselves out of this situation. We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage. And we'll for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:30:03Who's there?
00:30:32Anyone here? What do you want from me?
00:30:46You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:30:57Where am I? What did I do? I assure you there's a misunderstanding. Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:31:09Don't worry, you will know what we want soon enough. I just need you to behave right now.
00:31:14We can talk things out. You don't need to tie me to a chair. I will cooperate. If it is money, I can give it to you. Just let me go.
00:31:30Let me go.
00:31:51Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide. Maya's life depends on you. Don't bother. You won't recognize who I am.
00:32:00What matters is Maya. You have 24 hours to prepare $5 million if you want to see her alive.
00:32:06Who are you and what do you want?
00:32:08That is not a question for me to answer. Just do as I said.
00:32:13I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:32:16That's not my concern. Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:32:22I need to be sure she's okay. Let me talk to her.
00:32:25That won't be happening.
00:32:27I swear, if you dare to touch her, I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:32:41I don't know what to do, Scott. They're asking for $5 million in 24 hours.
00:32:46I can't lose her.
00:32:48Well, figure it out, James. I'll do everything I can.
00:32:52I can't lose Maya.
00:32:56I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:33:01We found each other the one we have been looking for our whole life.
00:33:05Oh, no. This was not meant to happen.
00:33:09I have to find her. I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:33:12We will.
00:33:14But who will commit such a horrible crime?
00:33:18Anyone ring the bell?
00:33:20Maya wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:33:22I can assure you.
00:33:23This has something to do with that blackmail we received.
00:33:28Blackmail?
00:33:30Someone has been stalking us.
00:33:32They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:33:35Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:33:38Mark, please. I need your help.
00:33:45Maya's life is in danger.
00:33:47I wish I could, James.
00:33:49$5 million is a lot.
00:33:52I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:33:56Save it, Mark.
00:33:57When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help you.
00:34:00You're a fucking nuisance.
00:34:01I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:34:04I might be able to cash this out.
00:34:29Thank you for calling CPM Bank.
00:34:31Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:34:33I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:34:37I want to cash it out immediately.
00:34:40I understand the urgency.
00:34:42Please give us a moment.
00:34:51Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:34:54It's for an urgent matter.
00:34:56Sure. Since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:34:59I will be there in 20 minutes.
00:35:03Please get the cash ready by then.
00:35:05Yes, sir. I'll move it.
00:35:06Great.
00:35:07Is it ready?
00:35:23Yes. Give me the location.
00:35:26Boom!
00:35:27I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:35:45Do anything to keep you safe.
00:35:47We're in this together.
00:35:48I thought I'd never see you again.
00:35:54I swear to you.
00:35:58Protect you with memory.
00:35:59I want to give you both an update.
00:36:13We are investigating the lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:36:18Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers and bringing them to justice.
00:36:26Thank you, Detective.
00:36:27We appreciate your efforts.
00:36:29I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:36:41It's not your fault.
00:36:43We'll get through this.
00:36:45Here we go.
00:36:59It's been a while since we had a pissy room like this.
00:37:13Yeah.
00:37:14It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:37:17Mia, you won't believe this.
00:37:33What is it?
00:37:36A company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:37:39They love my pitch.
00:37:41Oh my god, James, that's amazing.
00:37:42I'm going to call my employees to announce this news.
00:37:50And an after party later?
00:37:53You know me too well.
00:37:56Will you pick me up later for a little celebration?
00:38:01Absolutely.
00:38:01I'll meet you at home after work.
00:38:12Yes, I need you to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:38:28We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:38:33Wow, this is fantastic.
00:38:34I will gather them.
00:38:35Thank you all for your time.
00:38:53I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:38:58Before I finish, I'm just curious.
00:39:01Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:39:04Well, our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:39:08She said you're an old friend.
00:39:11An old friend?
00:39:13I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:39:17You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:39:21For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:39:23Don't waste your time.
00:39:31I'm here to sit your business.
00:39:33I'm here to prepare for my son.
00:39:35I'll shoot my mom.
00:39:35I'm here to pray for my journey.
00:39:36I'm here to show you that you're the perfect fit.
00:39:38Come on and be careful.
00:39:39You've heard it all?
00:39:44How come on?
00:39:45What's wrong, James?
00:40:03What could that be?
00:40:07I don't know.
00:40:09But we are going to find out soon.
00:40:15Samantha, have you found anything?
00:40:23I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:40:25Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:40:28James, we've made some significant progress.
00:40:31I think we are closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:40:38I'm only yours.
00:40:39Details, please.
00:40:40We managed to trace the source of the blackmail attempts.
00:40:43We found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:40:48Richard Kingsley?
00:40:49Never heard that name.
00:40:51And why would he do this?
00:40:53We are still walking on that part.
00:40:55We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:40:58Thank you, Samantha.
00:41:00Keep me posted on any updates.
00:41:02I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:41:05Of course.
00:41:06We are so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:41:13I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:41:27I tried to call you many times and you didn't answer.
00:41:30I thought something happened to you.
00:41:33I'm so sorry.
00:41:34I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:41:37Everything's okay.
00:41:39I'm just glad you're okay.
00:41:40I'm safe and sound.
00:41:43Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:41:47Samantha, the private detective I heart, is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:41:53I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:41:56You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:42:09Contract or not.
00:42:10I feel the same way, Mia.
00:42:13I won't ever want to lose you.
00:42:17I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:42:20It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:42:24It's wonderful.
00:42:29You're really talented.
00:42:32Thank you so much for your support.
00:42:34It means the world to me.
00:42:50Hello?
00:42:50James, I trust you are well.
00:42:55I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:43:02Sure.
00:43:03Where should we meet?
00:43:03I can rearrange some work to make it.
00:43:09That's great.
00:43:11Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:43:15I'll be at your office at 3 p.m. and we can go over all the details.
00:43:20Thank you for your recognition.
00:43:22I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:43:25I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:43:55meeting myself due to some unexpected events.
00:43:59But our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:44:03Wow.
00:44:03I was not aware of that.
00:44:06Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:44:08It's a great opportunity.
00:44:10She surely is very excited about this.
00:44:13I'm more than happy to meet with you.
00:44:19And I love you.
00:44:19I'm more than happy to meet you.
00:44:22Good night.
00:44:23I'm watching you.
00:44:24Bye.
00:44:25Bye.
00:44:25Bye.
00:44:26Bye.
00:44:26Bye.
00:44:27Bye.
00:44:28Bye.
00:44:28Bye.
00:44:29I'm James Turner, you're...
00:44:53Jimmy, don't you remember me?
00:44:59I'm sorry, but I can see too.
00:45:04Perhaps this will help you to remember?
00:45:12I've felt as much. It's me, your beloved Mabel.
00:45:20Mabel?
00:45:22Mabel?
00:45:29You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:45:48I know, babe. I can't believe you're graduating. Time did fly.
00:45:55Life after college. It's a bit scary, but I'm so excited.
00:46:00I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:46:04I'm sure nothing can stop you from your goal.
00:46:14I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:46:17Yeah, I know.
00:46:20Did you lock the door?
00:46:22Of course I did.
00:46:23I hope you won't change it to me.
00:46:28I won't.
00:46:29I won't.
00:46:43Mabel?
00:46:45James, I can't explain.
00:46:47I'm so sorry I have to find out like this, but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:47:06Mabel? What are you doing here?
00:47:08It's Victoria. And through business, of course, darling.
00:47:18What are you playing here? What's up with all the charade?
00:47:24Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:47:30You know, for the old time's sake.
00:47:34Old time's sake? You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:47:38What do you want?
00:47:40People change, James.
00:47:43And...
00:47:45I just can't let you have my mind.
00:47:48How did you become the president of this company?
00:47:51What are you hiding?
00:47:53A woman like me can get whatever I want.
00:47:57It's just a little trick.
00:47:59See?
00:48:01I helped you get this project.
00:48:04I've missed you, James.
00:48:06Missed us.
00:48:08We should be together.
00:48:10I'm the only one who can help you.
00:48:13No, Victoria. I won't let you manipulate. Not again.
00:48:19You have always been a challenge, James.
00:48:29This is not how I imaged our reunion.
00:48:32If you come here to talk about the project, let's get to it.
00:48:35Otherwise, you should leave.
00:48:37Don't be so harsh.
00:48:38If you want business, we'll talk about business.
00:48:43Let's get professional.
00:48:47James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our past.
00:48:52I trust you and your ability.
00:48:54I know what you're capable of.
00:48:58Really?
00:49:00Oh, please.
00:49:02Put our history behind, will you?
00:49:05I'd pay responsibility to my company too, okay?
00:49:09I didn't take this job for fun.
00:49:12Fine.
00:49:13Let's be clear.
00:49:16I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:49:21Agree, James.
00:49:23We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:49:25Scott.
00:49:51You won't believe what just happened.
00:49:53What's the matter?
00:49:55Wait.
00:49:56Mabel?
00:49:57Your ex-girlfriend from college?
00:49:58You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:50:00That's the one.
00:50:01She's now going by Victoria and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:50:04She wants my help on a project.
00:50:07I can't shake feeling that there's more to it.
00:50:09I think we have to wait for her move.
00:50:10I need to find out what's really going on.
00:50:11But I can't do it alone.
00:50:12Will you help me, Scott?
00:50:13Of course.
00:50:14Happy to help.
00:50:15She wants you to help.
00:50:16She wants you involved in a real estate project.
00:50:17But it's more than just business.
00:50:18I'm sure of it.
00:50:19I have the same feeling.
00:50:20Nothing is ever pure about her.
00:50:21I don't want Mia to worry about this.
00:50:22She's working on an important artwork.
00:50:24And I promise I'll protect her.
00:50:25Of course.
00:50:26I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true.
00:50:27I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true.
00:50:28I'll try my best.
00:50:29I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true.
00:50:30But I can't do it alone.
00:50:31Will you help me, Scott?
00:50:33Of course.
00:50:34Happy to help.
00:50:35She wants you involved in a real estate project.
00:50:37But it's more than just business.
00:50:39I'm sure of it.
00:50:41I have the same feeling.
00:50:42Nothing is ever pure about her.
00:50:44I don't want Mia to worry about this.
00:50:46She's working on an important artwork.
00:50:49And I promise I'll protect her.
00:50:52Of course.
00:50:53I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true.
00:50:55I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:50:57Thanks, man.
00:50:58What should I do without you?
00:51:11James, are you okay?
00:51:13You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:51:16Sorry to make your work, babe.
00:51:18Just step with work, you know.
00:51:20All right.
00:51:21It's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:51:24You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:51:27If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:51:32Babe.
00:51:33It shouldn't worry you.
00:51:34I can handle it myself.
00:51:35Trust me.
00:51:36Okay.
00:51:37Just remember, I'm always here for you.
00:51:39If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm here.
00:51:51Thank you, Mia.
00:51:52You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to me.
00:51:56James, we're one.
00:51:57There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:52:06You're right.
00:52:07Hi, Jamie.
00:52:08Victoria.
00:52:09What an unexpected surprise.
00:52:10I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:52:15What an unexpected surprise. I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:52:22I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:52:25I've moved on with my life. I have Mia, and she means everything to me.
00:52:31Oh, please, James. You wouldn't let a college flinch close your judgment after all these years. Right?
00:52:40Spare me the details. You betrayed me as my own roommate.
00:52:45What did you expect me to do, James? You were leaving college, and I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:52:53I need someone to back me up. I was a child.
00:52:57I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria. I got over you a long time ago.
00:53:05So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:53:09Come back here, dummy.
00:53:10I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:53:22James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:53:26I just wanted to be in your life.
00:53:28And you are calm with us to check the new site for our project.
00:53:38It's required by our partnership contracts.
00:53:47Mia, I've got a business trip coming up.
00:53:50It's a sudden opportunity, and I need to leave for a few days.
00:53:55Oh, really? That's unexpected.
00:53:58When do you leave?
00:54:00Tomorrow morning.
00:54:02I know, it's a short notice, but I'll be back before you know it.
00:54:07All right, James.
00:54:08Just be safe, and don't overwork yourself.
00:54:13I will.
00:54:13I'll miss you so much.
00:54:31James.
00:54:34You've had quite a bit.
00:54:38Has everything always?
00:54:40I'll miss you.
00:54:43I'll miss you.
00:54:43I'll miss you.
00:54:45I'll miss you.
00:54:52I'll miss you.
00:54:53I'll miss you.
00:54:57Everything's fine.
00:54:58Just leave me.
00:55:00You've had enough tonight, James.
00:55:12Let me make sure you're comfortable.
00:55:17Doria, what are you doing?
00:55:21Don't you worry.
00:55:23We'll have a little chat.
00:55:25You're safe with me.
00:55:26What do you want?
00:55:31You, James.
00:55:33I want you.
00:55:36I want all of you.
00:55:38Your body, your love, and even your soul.
00:55:47Stop.
00:55:48I'm married.
00:55:51I don't mind.
00:55:52Or maybe it makes you want you even more.
00:56:00You enjoy it, don't you?
00:56:03I know exactly how to please you.
00:56:06Yeah.
00:56:07I can do it, Hermione.
00:56:09Oh, come on, darling.
00:56:12James, we all know about your little contract.
00:56:16Besides, she would never find out.
00:56:23You know, this is what we're talking about, James.
00:56:25What the hell happened?
00:56:45I can't believe I let it get this far.
00:56:50John, baby?
00:56:51What's wrong?
00:56:52Victoria, this is a mistake.
00:56:56Did you set me up?
00:56:57Where are you laying next to me?
00:57:00Oh, you were just so energetic.
00:57:04Stop the games.
00:57:05I'm serious.
00:57:07I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do.
00:57:09Let's say we have a stunning night and I save some pictures for members.
00:57:27Delete those pictures right now.
00:57:32Why don't you come here and make me?
00:57:34You're playing with fire.
00:57:38I won't be blackmailed or manipulated.
00:57:40Delete them.
00:57:41Now.
00:57:47You're just no fun, James.
00:57:54I want you to step away from my life.
00:57:57This can't happen again.
00:58:00We'll see about that.
00:58:01Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy.
00:58:16You can never run away from me.
00:58:22Oh, my God.
00:58:23James, you're home.
00:58:25I miss you too, babe.
00:58:27It's good to be home.
00:58:28Tell me everything about your trip.
00:58:30It was a normal business trip.
00:58:32Nothing special.
00:58:34Let's not talk about it.
00:58:35I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
00:58:39Okay, sure.
00:58:42I'm just so glad you're home.
00:58:43Tell me the truth, James.
00:58:58James, is she important to you?
00:59:02She's my ex from college, and also my current business partner.
00:59:17And what about this?
00:59:20Is this part of your business?
00:59:21We had a business partner.
00:59:35I made a mistake.
00:59:38But it's not how it looks like.
00:59:40I love you, and I don't want her to ruin us.
00:59:46Tell me the truth, James.
00:59:48What happened that night?
00:59:54Yeah, I tried to stop her.
00:59:58I was too drunk and also confused.
01:00:05I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
01:00:09You put our relationship on edge.
01:00:12I'm so sorry.
01:00:13I'll do everything it takes to make this right.
01:00:18Please, don't give up on us.
01:00:25I need some space.
01:00:27Please, just...
01:00:30leave me alone.
01:00:43Samantha, found anything?
01:00:51Yes, I got a lead.
01:00:53It's been a challenging investigation,
01:00:55but I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley.
01:01:01I'm listening.
01:01:02He went to the same college with Mia,
01:01:04and he developed an obsession over her everything.
01:01:09He's been stalking your life,
01:01:11collecting information,
01:01:12and attempting to get her.
01:01:15This is insane.
01:01:17How did he head so close to us?
01:01:19He used virus, illnesses,
01:01:21and keep a low profile,
01:01:23which made it challenging to track him.
01:01:25But we've identified his patterns and his current location.
01:01:30I'd advise involving the authorities
01:01:32and getting a restraining order against him.
01:01:36Thank you, Samantha.
01:01:37I appreciate your dedication.
01:01:39You and Mia deserve peace, James.
01:01:41I will continue to monitor the situation,
01:01:44but please take legal action to protect yourself.
01:01:49I'll take care of her,
01:01:50and it's time for me to take control.
01:01:55It's time to tell the truth, Richard.
01:02:11Don't you think?
01:02:13Who sent you after us?
01:02:14Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan.
01:02:17If you don't tell the truth,
01:02:19I will call the cops on you.
01:02:21Fine.
01:02:23Fine.
01:02:24It was Victoria.
01:02:25Victoria.
01:02:27How did she convince you to do this?
01:02:32She told me about your contract marriage.
01:02:36She told me you don't even care about Mia.
01:02:40She promised to help me get Mia back
01:02:42after she gets you back.
01:02:46You were manipulated, Richard.
01:02:48You're such a clown.
01:02:50James, I've been seeing you.
01:03:01I thought someone never really seen me again, huh?
01:03:07Miss me already?
01:03:10Victoria, I want answers.
01:03:13Richard, why did you hire Richard to stalk us?
01:03:18Richard?
01:03:20Never heard any Richard in my life.
01:03:23I know it was you.
01:03:25He told me everything.
01:03:26I know it was me.
01:03:27I know it was me.
01:03:28I know it was me.
01:03:29I know it was me.
01:03:30I know it was me.
01:03:31But I did it for us.
01:03:33For us?
01:03:34I don't know there isn't us.
01:03:35For us?
01:03:36For us?
01:03:37For us?
01:03:38I don't know there isn't us.
01:03:40I've always loved you, Jimmy.
01:03:42I just want to be back together with you.
01:03:47I've always loved you, Jimmy.
01:03:48I just want to be back together with you.
01:03:59Here is the plan.
01:04:02We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
01:04:09We are professionals.
01:04:10We know how to cover our tracks.
01:04:14Good.
01:04:15And remember, I want her unharmed.
01:04:21This is just to make James realized he belongs to me.
01:04:28We understand.
01:04:29You get which one?
01:04:45What?
01:04:52Hello?
01:04:56Who's there?
01:05:02My, my, Mia.
01:05:04What a tangled web we weave.
01:05:12It's me.
01:05:14Victoria.
01:05:16What do you want?
01:05:18I warned you to walk away, but you just wouldn't listen.
01:05:21So I decided to teach you a little less.
01:05:25See?
01:05:27He cried.
01:05:29You would never be good enough for James.
01:05:33He'll never get away with this.
01:05:36James wants nothing to do with you.
01:05:39We'll see about that.
01:05:41You can't control other people's feelings.
01:05:44You're such a bunny.
01:05:46Baby, Jimmy wanted to have a bet.
01:05:48Why else he would choose you over me?
01:05:49What we have is real.
01:05:51And you need to face the truth.
01:05:53Listen to me carefully, Bunny.
01:05:55If you truly care for James, you'll stay away from me.
01:05:57It's not a negotiation. It's a demand.
01:05:59James and I are married.
01:06:01And there's nothing you can do about it.
01:06:04Don't be too confident.
01:06:06Just yet.
01:06:08I'm sorry.
01:06:10I'm sorry.
01:06:12I'm sorry.
01:06:14I'm sorry.
01:06:15I'm sorry.
01:06:17I'm sorry.
01:06:19I'm sorry.
01:06:21I'm sorry.
01:06:23I'm sorry.
01:06:29Mia!
01:06:30Hello, Jimmy.
01:06:32What's the hurry?
01:06:35You came as soon as you got the message, huh?
01:06:38I only send you the message to see how much you would sacrifice for Mia.
01:06:42Mia!
01:06:44Let her go.
01:06:45You want me?
01:06:46I'm here.
01:06:49You've got one minute, James.
01:06:51Your precious contract wife
01:06:53or the woman who's left you all alone.
01:06:59Victoria.
01:07:03Why are you doing this?
01:07:05You're risking your own life.
01:07:08You just never believed that I truly loved you, right?
01:07:12I won't even have a life after tonight.
01:07:15But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:07:18Please, put the gun down.
01:07:28You don't want to end up like this.
01:07:31Mia is the only one I love.
01:07:33I love.
01:07:47Hey.
01:07:48It's over now.
01:07:50You're safe.
01:07:52I was so scared, James.
01:07:55I thought I'd never see you again.
01:07:58I know.
01:07:59I was scared too.
01:08:01But here we are.
01:08:04And I'll always protect you.
01:08:07You mean the world to me.
01:08:09I love you, James.
01:08:11I love you too.
01:08:16Why?
01:08:18Why did you betray me?
01:08:21No.
01:08:23I never wanted to hurt you.
01:08:25I was scared, and we lost control.
01:08:29I didn't know how to handle it, so...
01:08:32I decided not to tell you, and I'm so sorry.
01:08:35You should have trusted me, James.
01:08:38I'm the kind of woman you can fight with.
01:08:43Why?
01:08:45Mia?
01:08:47Mia!
01:09:04Are you okay?
01:09:06You scared the hell out of me.
01:09:09It's okay.
01:09:10I feel better now.
01:09:13I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:09:16I guess...
01:09:18tonight's events took a lot out of me.
01:09:23I'm so sorry for everything that has happened.
01:09:27I love you.
01:09:30And I guess...
01:09:32carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:09:36What?
01:09:38What did you just say?
01:09:42Well...
01:09:44I've been having some...
01:09:46fainting incidents recently, so...
01:09:50I went to the hospital by myself, and...
01:09:54it looks like in eight months, you're going to become a dad.
01:09:58You're going to become a dad.
01:10:03What?
01:10:05You're pregnant?
01:10:07Oh my God!
01:10:10I can't believe!
01:10:12I had no idea!
01:10:14You should have told me earlier.
01:10:16I can't believe we're becoming parents.
01:10:18This is the most exciting moment in my life.
01:10:20I knew you would be happy.
01:10:24James...
01:10:26with the baby coming...
01:10:28and the incidents behind us...
01:10:30I think it's time we come clean to our parents.
01:10:33They deserve to know the truth.
01:10:36And...
01:10:38we have to tell them...
01:10:40they have a grandchild on the way.
01:10:42You're right in here.
01:10:44It's time to be honest with them.
01:10:45I'm so happy.
01:10:47You know, Mia...
01:10:49I was thinking...
01:10:51I want a girl.
01:10:53She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:10:55Oh, really?
01:10:57I'm imagining a boy...
01:10:59with your intelligence...
01:11:01and my sense of beauty.
01:11:03But...
01:11:05as long as the little one is healthy...
01:11:07I'm satisfied.
01:11:09I've never been more excited about the future.
01:11:11Yeah.
01:11:12I've never been more excited about the future.
01:11:15Me too, James.
01:11:17This journey...
01:11:18our journey...
01:11:20it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:11:23Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:11:25And maybe...
01:11:26just maybe...
01:11:27we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:11:37Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:11:39Oh my God!
01:11:40Are you trying to spoil me?
01:11:43Maybe I am.
01:11:44You deserve it.
01:11:46This looks amazing.
01:11:48I love the nuggets.
01:11:51I believe in us, James.
01:11:54We've gone through a lot of challenges...
01:11:57that have come out even stronger.
01:12:00Tonight is the last step for us to become a real couple.
01:12:04I'm lucky to have you here by my side, ma'am.
01:12:09It doesn't matter how angry they get upon hearing the news.
01:12:14We'll face it together.
01:12:16We'll face it together.
01:12:22Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:12:25I'm going to start with a light to your enemy.
01:12:26And...
01:12:28it was a business arrangement.
01:12:29But...
01:12:31over time...
01:12:32we fell in love with each other.
01:12:33We want to make it real.
01:12:34We want to make it real.
01:12:35And...
01:12:37we'd like to have your blessing...
01:12:39for real this time.
