00:00:00McAllen, meet you.
00:00:06Marriage, suffocating.
00:00:11Tell me about it.
00:00:14Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:00:19Family pressures, right?
00:00:22Want to talk?
00:00:24My family have been on my case for years. It's likely they had already chosen my future spouse.
00:00:38My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:00:46I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:00:49I'm Mia. Pleasure to meet you.
00:00:57It's our endless battle.
00:01:02It's my new comrade.
00:01:08What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:01:13A contract marriage?
00:01:15Yeah. Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life.
00:01:21We'll make a legal contract with.
00:01:23Maybe separate bedrooms? Financial terms and so on?
00:01:27Oh. No feelings should be included.
00:01:31This is huge. I need to think about it.
00:01:34I know. It's not something to deal with the person whom you just met.
00:01:41But think about this.
00:01:43The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:01:47So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:01:51It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:01:53It's just, like I said, love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:02:02They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:02:07Get it, Mia. I do.
00:02:11But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:02:14And we need to adapt to that.
00:02:16Our life won't change the bit.
00:02:18Just more freedom with this contract.
00:02:20But what about the no emotions term?
00:02:24Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:02:27It's necessary.
00:02:28We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:02:33This will make things difficult.
00:02:38You do make a good point.
00:02:41I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:02:47But we need to set boundaries.
00:02:50Conditions.
00:02:52We'll stick with friendship.
00:02:54Contractual partners.
00:02:56Agreed, Mia.
00:02:58I'll write the legal contract.
00:02:59And we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:03:02Oh, and one more thing, James.
00:03:05We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this.
00:03:09We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:03:14Absolutely.
00:03:16Our contract won't affect any of our lives.
00:03:19We can make it done tomorrow.
00:03:21While our script will take care of everything.
00:03:22Deal.
00:03:36I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:03:39Yeah.
00:03:41We've got that formula.
00:03:43Let's go through this contract together.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:48Separate bedrooms.
00:03:50Uh, no feelings clause.
00:03:53And clear financial terms.
00:03:56Yep.
00:03:58We'll be commuted to each other from now on.
00:03:59We'll be commuted to each other from now on.
00:04:00We'll be commuted to each other from now on.
00:04:01We'll be commuted to each other from now on.
00:04:02We'll be commuted to now on.
00:04:03How could we need to make it return the bill?
00:04:04Do you want to miss any difference?
00:04:05No scars?
00:04:06No.
00:04:06With all beautiful, this one is fin Obama.
00:04:08We'll be commuted to each other from now on.
00:04:15We'll be commuted to each other from now on.
00:04:18I so can't believe we did that.
00:04:38So, what's next?
00:04:41We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:04:44I'll propose to you in your apartment
00:04:46and send pictures to our families.
00:04:48Oh, it's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:04:53Yes, then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it.
00:04:57It's all part of the plan.
00:04:59I really want to get this out of my head.
00:05:02Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:05:14Did you turn the camera on?
00:05:17Yeah, it's working.
00:05:23Mia, there is something I'm going to ask you tonight.
00:05:26Yes?
00:05:31Mia, will you marry me?
00:05:33Will you marry me?
00:05:34Oh, my God, James.
00:05:35Yes!
00:05:41Oh, my God!
00:05:42I can't believe we just did that.
00:05:54It's all part of the plan.
00:05:55I can't believe we just did that.
00:05:56It's all part of the plan.
00:05:57I can't believe we just did that.
00:06:01It's all part of the plan.
00:06:02I can't believe we just did that.
00:06:04I can't believe we just did that.
00:06:06It's all part of the plan.
00:06:08I can't believe we just did that.
00:06:09It's all part of the plan.
00:06:10It's all part of the plan.
00:06:11It's all part of the plan.
00:06:12It's all part of the plan.
00:06:13Another successful play.
00:06:20It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:06:27I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:06:33Focus on the bigger picture.
00:06:36Neither of us wants a real marriage right now.
00:06:39And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:06:46Let's get some rest.
00:06:48Good night.
00:06:49Good night.
00:06:57Mia, are you okay?
00:07:03Please, open up.
00:07:05Talk to me.
00:07:09I can't do this, James.
00:07:12At the wedding, I saw everyone's faces.
00:07:16They were so happy and blessed us with their whole hearts.
00:07:22I feel like I betrayed every one of them.
00:07:27But we are already here.
00:07:29There is no way of going back.
00:07:32I saw their faces.
00:07:35They believed in us.
00:07:37It was all a huge lie.
00:07:40I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:07:44It's not easy for me either.
00:07:47But we have to hang in there.
00:07:50We can't let them down right now.
00:07:57I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:08:12I wish that too, Mia.
00:08:14But I promise, we can get through it.
00:08:17I promise.
00:08:18James, I have something that I want to say.
00:08:35Mia, we agreed.
00:08:37We agreed.
00:08:39No feelings.
00:08:44I know.
00:08:46But...
00:08:55Compliments of a friend.
00:08:56Please, enjoy your evening.
00:09:10James?
00:09:12What's this?
00:09:13Please, enjoy your quest for today.
00:09:31I
00:09:43James?
00:10:03Where are you?
00:10:09Right here, Mia.
00:10:11Is there any candle?
00:10:18James?
00:10:24So, any clue on that note?
00:10:30Sorry.
00:10:40Hello?
00:10:45I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you. A gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:11:00Someone knows our secret. What should we do?
00:11:07You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:11:14You know, I've been thinking about the day we met. It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:11:29I know, and I'm glad that I met you. You're such a special woman, and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:11:44You too. I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:11:59Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:12:14It's not a fairytale. It's a bloody reality. But, I still like it. It's our story.
00:12:29What's happening?
00:12:46We're stuck. What do we do? I need to be there on time.
00:12:55Let's call the building. They should come and fix this.
00:13:01There's no signal. We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:13:14We won't. Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:13:21We just need to be patient.
00:13:27What's that for?
00:13:28Just to give us some strength. Friends can hug too.
00:13:33Okay.
00:13:44I can't believe this is happening.
00:13:48Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:13:54You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:13:58James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:14:06They'd be so disappointed.
00:14:10We are doing everything we can. So far, we did good. Everyone is happy.
00:14:15I 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.
00:14:32I know. But we're in this together. We chose this to take control of our life. And now we are tied together by fate. We are one.
00:14:45I suddenly feel so relieved. Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:14:55I know. I always rush to my friends after a bad day. And here I am with a dearest friend.
00:15:04And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom. Now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:15:12Mine too. My mom called the other day. But when she saw you walk out from the bath, she hung up as soon as she could. But of course, she made fun of us.
00:15:21Or maybe next time I can show up even sexier. And then she can make fun of you some more.
00:15:29I'm sexy now.
00:15:42Maybe we should talk about what just happened. The moment was...
00:15:47I enjoyed it. There is something I never thought I would say.
00:15:52But it's not what we expected. I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:15:58Mia, I have to tell you, I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:16:05I care about you more than I should. I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:16:11I'm in love with you.
00:16:12I actually feel the exact same way. I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:16:30Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection, I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:16:36Let's tell everyone the truth. I'm sure they will understand.
00:16:43Maybe mad at first, but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:16:47Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:16:50I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right. It should be our priority right now.
00:16:54James, our parents aside, I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:17:15Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:17:18Mia, I have no idea. But I hired an investigator, hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:17:26I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:17:36We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:17:39This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight, bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:17:45I chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:17:56And yet, I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:18:00We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:18:03We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage, and we'll for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:18:15Who's there?
00:18:40Who's there?
00:18:41Who's there?
00:18:52Anyone here?
00:18:54What do you want from me?
00:19:04You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:19:06Where am I?
00:19:09What did I do?
00:19:11I assure you, there's a misunderstanding.
00:19:14Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:19:18Don't worry, you will know what we want soon enough. I just need you to behave right now.
00:19:23We can talk things out.
00:19:25You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:19:27I will cooperate.
00:19:28I will cooperate.
00:19:30If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:19:34Just let me go.
00:19:35Just let me go.
00:19:36Just let me go.
00:19:37Hello?
00:20:00Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:20:03Maya's life depends on you.
00:20:05Don't bother.
00:20:06You won't recognize who I am.
00:20:09What matters is Maya.
00:20:11You have 24 hours to prepare 5 million dollars if you want to see her alive.
00:20:16Who are you and what do you want?
00:20:18That is not a question for me to answer.
00:20:21Just do as I said.
00:20:22I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:20:26That's not my concern.
00:20:28Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:20:32I need to be sure she's okay.
00:20:34Let me talk to her.
00:20:35That won't be happening.
00:20:37I swear, if you dare to touch her, I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:20:51I don't know what to do, Scott.
00:20:53They're asking for 5 million in 24 hours.
00:20:55I can't lose her.
00:20:57We'll figure it out, James.
00:20:59I'll do everything I can.
00:21:02I can't lose Mia.
00:21:06I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:21:10We found each other the one we have been looking for our whole life.
00:21:14Oh, no.
00:21:16This was not meant to happen.
00:21:18I have to find her.
00:21:20I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:21:22We will.
00:21:24But who will commit such a horrible crime?
00:21:27Anyone ring the bell?
00:21:29Mia wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:21:31I can assure you, this has something to do with that blackmail we received.
00:21:38Blackmail?
00:21:40Someone has been stalking us.
00:21:42They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:21:45Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:21:51Mark, please, I need your help.
00:21:54Mia's life is in danger.
00:21:56I wish I could, James.
00:21:585 million is a lot.
00:22:01I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:22:05Save it, Mark.
00:22:06When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help you.
00:22:09You're a fucking nuisance.
00:22:11I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:22:14I might be able to catch this out.
00:22:39Thank you for calling CPM Bank.
00:22:41Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:22:44I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:22:47I want to cash it out immediately.
00:22:49I understand the urgency.
00:22:51Please give us a moment.
00:23:01Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:23:03It's for an urgent matter.
00:23:05Sure, since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:23:09I will be there in 20 minutes.
00:23:12Please get the cash ready by then.
00:23:14Yes, sir, I'll move in.
00:23:16Great.
00:23:17I'll move in.
00:23:32Is it ready?
00:23:33Yes.
00:23:34Give me the location.
00:23:35Boom!
00:23:36Boom!
00:23:52I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:23:54Do anything to keep you safe.
00:23:57We're in this together.
00:24:02I thought I'd never see you again.
00:24:04I swear to you.
00:24:06I'll protect you with my life.
00:24:21I want to give you both an update.
00:24:23We are investigating the lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:24:27Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers
00:24:31and bringing them to justice.
00:24:36Thank you, Detective.
00:24:37We appreciate your efforts.
00:24:45I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:24:48It's not your fault.
00:24:53We'll get through this.
00:24:54Here we go.
00:25:18It's been a while since we had a piece of room like this.
00:25:23Yeah.
00:25:24It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:25:39Mia!
00:25:40You won't believe this!
00:25:43What is it?
00:25:44The company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:25:48They love my pitch!
00:25:50Oh my god, James.
00:25:51That's amazing!
00:25:54I'm gonna call my employees to announce this news.
00:25:59And an after party later?
00:26:02You know me too well.
00:26:06Will you pick me up later for our little celebration?
00:26:10Absolutely!
00:26:11I'll meet you at home after work.
00:26:12Yes, I needed to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:26:38We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:26:41Wow!
00:26:42This is fantastic!
00:26:43I will gather them!
00:26:44Wow!
00:26:45This is fantastic!
00:26:46I will gather them!
00:26:47Thank you all for your time.
00:26:48I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:26:50Before I finish, I'm just curious.
00:26:52Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:26:53Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:26:55She said you're an old friend.
00:26:56An old friend?
00:26:57An old friend?
00:26:58I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:27:00You'll find out soon enough,
00:27:01you'll find out soon enough,
00:27:03James.
00:27:04For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:27:05Now, focus on getting the job done.
00:27:06I'm not sure.
00:27:07I'm not sure who it could be.
00:27:08You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:27:09I'm not sure who it could be.
00:27:10You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:27:11How many guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:27:14Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:27:18She said you're an old friend.
00:27:21An old friend?
00:27:23I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:27:27You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:27:31For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:27:41What's wrong, James?
00:28:09What could that be?
00:28:15I don't know.
00:28:19But we are going to find out soon.
00:28:30Samantha, have you found anything?
00:28:33I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:28:35Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:28:37James, we've made some significant progress.
00:28:41I think we are closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:28:47I'm over yours. Details, please.
00:28:49We managed to trace the source of the blackmail attempts.
00:28:53We found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:28:57Richard Kingsley?
00:28:59Never heard that name.
00:29:01And why would he do this?
00:29:03We're still walking on that part.
00:29:05We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:29:08Thank you, Samantha.
00:29:09Keep me posted on any updates.
00:29:11I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:29:15Of course, we are so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:29:19I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:29:37I tried to call you many times and you didn't answer.
00:29:40I thought something happened to you.
00:29:42I'm so sorry.
00:29:44I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:29:46Everything's okay.
00:29:48I'm just glad you're okay.
00:29:50I'm safe and sound.
00:29:52Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:29:56Samantha, the private detective at heart is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:30:02I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:30:06You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:30:18Contract or not.
00:30:20I feel the same way, Mia.
00:30:22I won't ever want to lose you.
00:30:25I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:30:30It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:30:38It's wonderful.
00:30:39You're really talented.
00:30:41Thank you so much for your support.
00:30:44It means the world to me.
00:30:55Hello?
00:30:56James, I trust you are well.
00:31:05I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:31:12Sure.
00:31:13Where should we meet?
00:31:17I can rearrange some work to make it.
00:31:19That's great.
00:31:21Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:31:25I'll be at your office at 3pm and we can go over all the details.
00:31:30Thank you for your recognition.
00:31:31I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:31:35Hi.
00:31:36I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:31:48My apologies, James.
00:31:49I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events.
00:31:54But our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:31:57Wow.
00:31:58I was not aware of that.
00:31:59Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:32:00It's a great opportunity.
00:32:01She surely is very excited about this.
00:32:29I'm James Turner.
00:32:57You're...
00:32:58Jimmy?
00:32:59Don't you remember me?
00:33:04I'm sorry, but I can see too.
00:33:13Perhaps this will help you to remember.
00:33:18I've thought as much.
00:33:24It's me.
00:33:25Your beloved Mabel.
00:33:27Mabel?
00:33:30Mabel?
00:33:31What the...
00:33:33You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:33:46I know, Mabel.
00:33:47I can't believe you're graduating.
00:33:48I'm day-flight.
00:33:49Life after college.
00:33:50It's a bit scary, but I'm so excited.
00:33:51I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:33:53I'm sure nothing can stop you from the goal.
00:34:00I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:34:01Yeah, I know.
00:34:02Did you lock the door?
00:34:03I can't wait to graduate so we can get married?
00:34:04Yeah, I know.
00:34:05Did you lock the door?
00:34:06I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:34:09Yeah, I know.
00:34:10Did you lock the door?
00:34:11Of course I did.
00:34:12Hope you won't change after you live.
00:34:13I know.
00:34:14I know.
00:34:15I know.
00:34:16I know.
00:34:17I know.
00:34:18But I'm so excited.
00:34:19I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:34:21I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:34:24Yeah, I know.
00:34:25Did you lock the door?
00:34:26Of course I did.
00:34:27I hope you won't change after you live.
00:34:40I won't.
00:34:45Mabelle?
00:34:55James, I can't explain.
00:34:58I'm so sorry I have to find out like this,
00:35:01but Mabelle and I have been together for a while now.
00:35:15Mabelle? What are you doing here?
00:35:19It's Victoria.
00:35:22And through business, of course, darling.
00:35:28What are you playing here?
00:35:30What's up with all the charade?
00:35:34Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:35:40You know, for the old time's sake.
00:35:43For the old time's sake?
00:35:45You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:35:48What do you want?
00:35:50People change, James.
00:35:52And I just can't let you off my mind.
00:35:58How did you become the president of this company?
00:36:01What are you hiding?
00:36:03A woman like me can get whatever I want with just a little trick.
00:36:09See?
00:36:11I helped you get this project.
00:36:13I've missed you, James.
00:36:16Missed us.
00:36:17We should be together.
00:36:20I'm the only one who can help you.
00:36:23No, Victoria.
00:36:25I won't let you manipulate me.
00:36:27Not again.
00:36:28You have always been a challenge, James.
00:36:40This is not how I imaged our reunion.
00:36:42If you come here to talk about that project, let's get to it.
00:36:46Otherwise, you should leave.
00:36:48Don't be so harsh.
00:36:49If you want a business, we'll talk about business.
00:36:55Let's get professional.
00:36:58James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our opacity.
00:37:02I trust you and your ability.
00:37:05I know what you're capable of.
00:37:09Really?
00:37:11Oh, please.
00:37:13Put our history behind, will you?
00:37:15I pay responsibility to my company too, okay?
00:37:20I didn't take this job for fun.
00:37:23Fine.
00:37:25Let's be clear.
00:37:26I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:37:32Agree, James.
00:37:34We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:37:36Scott, you won't believe what just happened.
00:38:04What's the matter?
00:38:06Wait, Mabelle, your ex-girlfriend from college?
00:38:19You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:38:22That's the one.
00:38:23She's now going by Victoria,
00:38:24and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:38:28She wants my help on a project.
00:38:31I can't shake the feeling that there's more to it.
00:38:33I think we have to wait for her move.
00:38:38I need to find out what's really going on.
00:38:41But I can't do it alone.
00:38:42Will you help me, Scott?
00:38:44Of course.
00:38:45Happy to help.
00:38:46She wants you involved in a realistic project,
00:38:48but it's more than just business.
00:38:50I'm sure of it.
00:38:52I have the same feeling.
00:38:53Nothing is ever pure about her.
00:38:55I don't want Mia to worry about this.
00:38:57She's working on an important artwork.
00:39:00And I promised I'll protect her.
00:39:03Of course.
00:39:04I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:39:07Thanks, man.
00:39:09What should I do without you?
00:39:22James, are you okay?
00:39:24You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:39:26Sorry to make your word, babe.
00:39:30Just stuff with work, you know.
00:39:32Alright.
00:39:33It's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:39:36You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:39:39If you want to talk about something,
00:39:42we can figure it out together.
00:39:45Babe.
00:39:46It shouldn't worry you.
00:39:48I can handle it myself.
00:39:49Trust me.
00:39:50Okay.
00:39:51Just remember,
00:39:53I'm always here for you.
00:39:55If you want to talk things through
00:39:58or need some help,
00:40:00I'm here.
00:40:02Thank you, Mia.
00:40:04You focus on your beautiful project
00:40:06and leave everything else to me.
00:40:08James, we're one.
00:40:11There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:40:13Hi, Jimmy.
00:40:24Victoria.
00:40:26What an unexpected surprise.
00:40:28I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:40:33I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:40:37I've moved on with my life.
00:40:39I have Mia,
00:40:40and she means everything to me.
00:40:42Oh, please.
00:40:43James.
00:40:44You wouldn't let a college flinch
00:40:46cloud your judgment after all these years.
00:40:50Right?
00:40:51Spare me the details.
00:40:53You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:40:56What did you expect me to do, James?
00:40:59You were leaving college,
00:41:01and I wouldn't survive alone
00:41:02with a blood-sucking family.
00:41:04I need someone to back me up.
00:41:06I was a child.
00:41:08I don't care about your reasons anymore,
00:41:12Victoria.
00:41:12I got over you a long time ago.
00:41:16So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:41:20Come back here, dummy.
00:41:23I don't ever want to meet you again
00:41:25outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:41:27James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:41:36I just want to be in your life.
00:41:39And you are calm with us to check the new site for our project.
00:41:49It's required by our partnership contracts.
00:41:52Mia, I've got a business trip coming up.
00:42:01It's a sudden opportunity, and I need to leave for a few days.
00:42:06Oh, really?
00:42:07That's unexpected.
00:42:09When do you leave?
00:42:11Tomorrow morning.
00:42:12I know.
00:42:13It's short notice, but I'll be back before you know it.
00:42:17All right, James, just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
00:42:23I will.
00:42:24I'll miss you so much.
00:42:26James, I've had quite a bit.
00:42:47I'll miss you.
00:42:48I'll miss you.
00:42:49Is everything all right?
00:42:51She's short.
00:42:52Thanks.
00:42:53Everything's fine, she said.
00:42:55Believe me.
00:42:56Yeah.
00:42:57Yeah.
00:42:58Yeah.
00:42:59Yeah.
00:43:00Yeah.
00:43:01Yeah.
00:43:02Yeah.
00:43:03Yeah.
00:43:04Yeah.
00:43:05Yeah.
00:43:06Yeah.
00:43:07Yeah.
00:43:08Yeah.
00:43:09Yeah.
00:43:10Yeah.
00:43:11Yeah.
00:43:12Yeah.
00:43:13Yeah.
00:43:14Yeah.
00:43:15Yeah.
00:43:16Yeah.
00:43:17You've had enough tonight, James.
00:43:22Let me make sure you're comfortable.
00:43:27Victoria, what are you doing?
00:43:32Don't you worry.
00:43:33We'll have a little chat.
00:43:35You're safe with me.
00:43:38What do you want?
00:43:41You James.
00:43:43I want you.
00:43:45I want you. I want all of you. Your body, your love, and even your soul.
00:43:57Stop. I'm... I'm married.
00:44:02I don't mind. Or maybe this makes you want even more.
00:44:10You enjoy it, don't you? I know exactly how to please you.
00:44:17Yeah, I can do it, darling.
00:44:20Oh, come on, darling.
00:44:23We all know about your little contracts.
00:44:27Besides, she would never find out.
00:44:32Now this is what we're talking about, James.
00:44:40What the hell happened?
00:44:55I can't believe I let it get this far.
00:45:00John, baby? What's wrong?
00:45:04Victoria, this is a mistake. Did you set me up? Why are you laying next to me?
00:45:10Oh, you are just so energetic.
00:45:14Stop the games. I'm serious. I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do.
00:45:21Oh, well. Let's say we had a stunning night and I saved some pictures for memories.
00:45:38Delete those pictures right now.
00:45:42Why don't you come here and make me?
00:45:47You're playing with fire. I won't be blackmailed or manipulated. Delete them. Now!
00:45:53You're just no fun, James.
00:46:01I want you to step away from my life. This can't happen again.
00:46:10We'll see about that.
00:46:14Oh, Jamie, Jamie. You can never run away from me.
00:46:33Oh, my God! James, you're home!
00:46:36I miss you too, babe. It's good to be home.
00:46:39Tell me everything about your trip.
00:46:41It was a normal business trip. Nothing special.
00:46:44Let's not talk about it. I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
00:46:49Okay, sure. I'm just so glad you're home.
00:46:55Hello? Hello, Mia. Who's this?
00:47:20I guess Jimmy didn't tell you about me. I'm Victoria, the president of the company James is presently partnering in.
00:47:29Okay. How may I help you?
00:47:31You see, Jimmy and I have come a long way and since you're not really married to him, so I guess there is no harm in stepping in.
00:47:41What do you mean?
00:47:42You see, James is mine and mine alone. He will kindly excuse us so we can be together. That would be great.
00:47:52He would never like someone like you.
00:47:54Oh, please. He showed lots of love to me not long ago. He surely had no time to think of you. I sent you the pictures. Hope you enjoy them.
00:48:07Impossible. He would never do this to me.
00:48:26Hey, what's wrong?
00:48:29Nothing. How was your day?
00:48:34Oh, who's your day?
00:48:39Who is Victoria?
00:48:44Victoria? Where did you hear that name from?
00:48:48She called me James. She said things. Things I can't believe.
00:49:01Mia, it's...
00:49:03Can you explain?
00:49:05You have to know, you're the one and the only one I love.
00:49:15Tell me the truth, James. Is she important to you?
00:49:20She's my ex from college. And also my current business partner.
00:49:36And what about this? Is this part of your business?
00:49:40We...
00:49:41We had a businessman. She set me up. I made a mistake. But it's not how it looks like. I love you. And I don't want her to ruin us.
00:50:01Tell me the truth, James. What happened that night?
00:50:11Yeah. I tried to stop her. I was... too drunk and also confused.
00:50:20I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James. You put our relationship on edge.
00:50:29I'm so sorry. I'll... I'll do everything it takes to make this right. Please, don't give up on us.
00:50:38I need some space. Please, just... Leave me alone.
00:50:51I need some space.
00:51:07Samantha? Found anything?
00:51:09Yes, I got a lead. It's been a challenging investigation. But I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley.
00:51:19I'm listening.
00:51:20He went to the same college with Mia. And he developed an obsession over her everything. He's been stalking your life, collecting information, and attempting to get her.
00:51:33This is insane. How did he get so close to us?
00:51:37He used virus, illnesses, and keep a low profile. Which made it challenging to track him. But we've identified his patterns and his current location.
00:51:48I'd advise involving the authorities and getting a restraining order against him.
00:51:53Thank you, Samantha. I appreciate your dedication.
00:51:56You and Mia deserve peace, James. I will continue to monitor the situation. But please take legal action to protect yourself.
00:52:05I'll take care of her. And it's time for me to take control.
00:52:10It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think? Who sent you after us? Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan. If you don't tell the truth, I will call the cops on you.
00:52:28Fine. Fine. It was Victoria.
00:52:43Victoria. How did she convince you to do this?
00:52:50She told me about your contract marriage. She told me you don't even care about Mia.
00:52:58She promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back.
00:53:04You were manipulated, Richard. You're such a clown.
00:53:08James. I've been seeing you.
00:53:19I thought someone would never want to see me again, huh? Miss me already?
00:53:27Victoria. I want answers. Why did you hire Richard to stalk us?
00:53:33Richard?
00:53:36Richard? I've never heard any Richard in my life.
00:53:41I know it was you. He told me everything.
00:53:47Okay. It was me.
00:53:51But I did it for us.
00:53:54For us? I don't know there isn't us.
00:53:58I've always loved you, Jimmy. I just want to be back together with you.
00:54:17Here is the plan.
00:54:18We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
00:54:27We are professionals. We know how to cover our tracks.
00:54:32Good.
00:54:34And remember, I want her unharmed.
00:54:39This is just to make James realized he belongs to me.
00:54:44We understand. You get what you want.
00:54:47We understand. You get what you want.
00:55:04What?
00:55:10Hello?
00:55:11Who's there?
00:55:14Who's there?
00:55:20My, my, Mia.
00:55:24What a tangled web we weave.
00:55:30It's me.
00:55:32Victoria.
00:55:34What do you want?
00:55:35I warned you to walk away, but you just wouldn't listen.
00:55:40So I decided to teach you a little less.
00:55:44See?
00:55:46He cried.
00:55:48You would never be good enough for James.
00:55:51He'll never get away with this.
00:55:54James wants nothing to do with you.
00:55:57We'll see about that.
00:55:58We'll see about that.
00:56:01You can't control other people's feelings.
00:56:04You're such a bunny.
00:56:08Baby, Jamie wanted to have a bet.
00:56:11Why else he would choose you over me?
00:56:13What we have is real.
00:56:16And you need to face the truth.
00:56:19Listen to me carefully, Bunny.
00:56:22If you truly care for James, you'll stay away from me.
00:56:25It's not a negotiation, it's a demand.
00:56:28James and I are married.
00:56:31And there's nothing you can do about it.
00:56:34Don't be too confident.
00:56:38Just yet.
00:56:39Just yet.
00:56:47Mia!
00:56:48Hi, Jimmy.
00:56:50What's the hurry?
00:56:53You came as soon as you got the message, huh?
00:56:56I'll only send you the message to see how much you will sacrifice for Mia.
00:57:01Mia!
00:57:03Let her go.
00:57:04You want me, I'm here.
00:57:05You've got one minute, James.
00:57:09Your precious contract wife
00:57:12or the woman who's loved you all alone.
00:57:18Victoria.
00:57:21Why are you doing this?
00:57:23You're risking your own life.
00:57:26You just never believed that I truly loved you, right?
00:57:30I won't even have a life after tonight.
00:57:32But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
00:57:43Please.
00:57:45Put the gun down.
00:57:47You don't want to end up like this.
00:57:49Mia is the only one I love.
00:57:51The only one in love.
00:58:06Hey.
00:58:07It's over now.
00:58:08You're safe.
00:58:09I was so scared James. I thought I'd never see you again.
00:58:16I know. I was scared too. But here we are. And I'll always protect you. You mean the world to me.
00:58:27I love you James. I love you too.
00:58:31Why? Why did you betray me?
00:58:39I know. I never wanted to hurt you. I was overwhelmed and we lost control.
00:58:46I didn't know how to handle it so I decided not to tell you and I'm so sorry.
00:58:53You should have trusted me James. I'm the kind of woman you can fight with.
00:59:03Me? Me?
00:59:23Are you okay? You scared the hell out of me.
00:59:28It's okay. I feel better now. I'm sorry to have scared you. I guess tonight's events took a lot out of me.
00:59:41I'm so sorry for everything that has happened. I love you.
00:59:48And I guess carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
00:59:57What? What did you just say?
01:00:01Well, I've been having some fainting incidents recently so I went to the hospital by myself and it looks like in eight months you're going to become a dad.
01:00:17What? You're pregnant? Oh my God! I can't believe. I had no idea. You should have told me earlier. I can't believe we're becoming parents. This is the most exciting moment in my life.
01:00:39I knew you would be happy. James, with the baby coming and the incidents behind us, I think it's time we come clean to our parents. They deserve to know the truth. And we have to tell them they have a grandchild on the way.
01:00:59You're right, Mia. It's time to be honest with you.
01:01:09I'm so happy.
01:01:11You know, Mia, I was thinking I want a girl. She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:01:17Oh, really? I'm imagining a boy with your intelligence and my sense of beauty. But as long as the little one is healthy, I'm satisfied.
01:01:30I've never been more excited about the future.
01:01:32Me too, James. This journey, our journey, it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:01:40Surprise can be a good thing, right? And maybe, just maybe, we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:01:46Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:01:56Oh, my God. Are you trying to spoil me?
01:02:01Maybe I am. You deserve it.
01:02:03This looks amazing. I love the nuggets.
01:02:07I believe in us, James.
01:02:11We've gone through a lot of challenges and come out even stronger.
01:02:19Tonight is the last step for us to become a real couple.
01:02:25I'm lucky to have you here by my side, Mia.
01:02:29It doesn't matter how angry they get upon hearing the news.
01:02:34We'll face it together.
01:02:40Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:02:49Our marriage started with a light to your apology.
01:02:53And?
01:02:55It was a business arrangement.
01:02:58But, over time, we fell in love with each other.
01:03:04We want to make it real.
01:03:07And we'd like to have your blessing for real this time.
01:03:12Well, your marriage, contract or not, has looked pretty real to me from the very beginning.
01:03:22And I'm glad you guys are grateful enough to admit the mistakes.
01:03:27And go on with your real happy marriage life.
01:03:33Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:03:35I'll always be there for her.
01:03:40And we have a new member coming to the family soon.
01:03:45Of course, thanks to her family then.
01:03:46It was great.
01:03:47Thank you very much for helping me, too.
01:03:48That made me see you for us, too.
01:03:49Who'd things like you?
01:03:50What do we do in the future?
01:03:51You wanna think of half a million years ago?
01:03:52Who'd you like?
01:03:53Who'd you like me to think of that?
01:03:54You'd more like relationships.
01:03:55I do longer for love for, you know, my dear home,�.
01:03:57You'd better be beautiful, who'd really appreciate it.
01:03:58Huh?
01:03:59You're stuck in love with the ハ There's always here in store.
