Hearts Under Siege
Transcript
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 who 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.
00:03:24Deal.
00:03:36I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:03:39Yeah.
00:03:41We've got that formula.
00:03:42Let's go through this contract together.
00:03:47Okay.
00:03:52Separate bedrooms.
00:03:55The no feelings clause.
00:04:02And clear financial terms.
00:04:05Yep.
00:04:06We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:04:08We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:04:10We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:04:11We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:04:12I can't believe we did that.
00:04:13I just can't believe we did that.
00:04:39So, what's next?
00:04:42We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:04:44I'll propose to you in your apartment and send pictures to our families.
00:04:49Oh, it's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:04:54Yes, then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it.
00:04:58It's all part of the plan.
00:05:00I really want to get this out of my head.
00:05:03Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:05:12Did you turn the camera on?
00:05:18Yeah, it's working.
00:05:21Mia, there is something I'm going to ask you tonight.
00:05:27Yes?
00:05:28Mia, will you marry me?
00:05:34Oh my god, James.
00:05:36Yes.
00:05:37Oh my god.
00:05:40I can't believe we just did that.
00:05:55I can't believe we just did that.
00:06:08It's all part of the plan.
00:06:10Another successful play.
00:06:25It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:06:29I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:06:34Focus on the bigger picture.
00:06:37Neither of us wants a real marriage right now.
00:06:40And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:06:47Let's get some rest.
00:06:49Goodnight.
00:06:50Goodnight.
00:06:59Mia, are you okay?
00:07:04Please, open up.
00:07:06Talk to me.
00:07:10I can't do this, James.
00:07:13At the wedding, I saw everyone's faces.
00:07:17They were so happy and blessed us with their whole hearts.
00:07:23I feel like I betrayed every one of them.
00:07:26But we are already here.
00:07:30There is no way of going back.
00:07:33I saw their faces.
00:07:35They believed in us.
00:07:38It was all a huge lie.
00:07:41I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:07:45It's not easy for me either.
00:07:48But we have to hang in there.
00:07:51We can't let them down right now.
00:07:56I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:08:13I wish that to Mia.
00:08:15But I promise, we can get through it.
00:08:18I promise.
00:08:19James, I have something that I want to say.
00:08:35Mia, we agreed.
00:08:39No feelings.
00:08:40I know.
00:08:45I know.
00:08:47But...
00:08:56Compliments of a friend.
00:09:00Please, enjoy your evening.
00:09:01James?
00:09:11What's this?
00:09:13James?
00:09:15What's this?
00:09:16No.
00:09:17No.
00:09:46No.
00:10:04James?
00:10:08Where are you?
00:10:10Right here, Mia.
00:10:12Is there any candle?
00:10:13James?
00:10:15So...
00:10:17Any clue on that note?
00:10:19Um...
00:10:20So, any clue on that note?
00:10:27Um...
00:10:32Sorry.
00:10:37Hello?
00:10:42I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you.
00:10:46A gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:11:01Someone knows our secret.
00:11:04What should we do?
00:11:16You know, I've been thinking about the date we met.
00:11:31It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:11:35I know. And I'm glad that I met you.
00:11:40You're such a special woman.
00:11:42And I've never met anyone like you before.
00:11:49You too.
00:11:51I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:11:54Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:12:09It's not a fairy tale.
00:12:16It's a bloody reality.
00:12:19But...
00:12:21I still like it.
00:12:23It's our story.
00:12:26What's happening?
00:12:46We're stuck.
00:12:48What do we do?
00:12:50I need to be there on time.
00:12:55Let's call the building.
00:12:56They should come and fix this.
00:13:01There's no signal.
00:13:03We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:13:05We won't.
00:13:16Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:13:21We just need to be patient.
00:13:28What's that for?
00:13:29Just to give us some strength.
00:13:31Friends can hug too.
00:13:34Okay.
00:13:45I can't believe this is happening.
00:13:49Well...
00:13:50At least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:13:55You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:13:58James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:14:07They'd be so disappointed.
00:14:10We are doing everything we can.
00:14:13So far, we did good.
00:14:15Everyone is happy.
00:14:17I just think about how far we've come.
00:14:21Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:14:31It's like an endless spy game.
00:14:34I know.
00:14:35But we are in this together.
00:14:37We chose this to take control of our life.
00:14:41And now we are tied together by fate.
00:14:44We are one.
00:14:45I suddenly feel so relieved.
00:14:52Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:14:57I know.
00:14:58I always rush to my friends after a bed day.
00:15:01And here I am with a dearest friend.
00:15:04And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom.
00:15:09Now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:15:12Mine too.
00:15:13My mom called the other day.
00:15:15But when she saw you walk out from the bath, she hung up as soon as she could.
00:15:19But of course, she made fun of us.
00:15:22Or maybe next time I can show up even sexier.
00:15:27And then she can make fun of you some more.
00:15:29Sexy now.
00:15:34Maybe we should talk about what just happened.
00:15:47The moment was...
00:15:49I enjoyed it.
00:15:50There is something I never thought I would say.
00:15:53But it's not what we expected.
00:15:56I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:15:59Mia, I have to tell you.
00:16:01I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:16:04I care about you more than I should.
00:16:08I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:16:13I'm in love with you.
00:16:16I actually feel the exact same way.
00:16:28I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:16:31Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection,
00:16:35I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:16:39Let's tell everyone the truth.
00:16:42I'm sure they will understand.
00:16:44Maybe mad at first, but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:16:48Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:16:51I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right.
00:16:54It should be our priority right now.
00:16:56James, 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?
00:17:19Mia, I have no idea.
00:17:22But I hired an investigator.
00:17:24Hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:17:27I 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,
00:17:43bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:17:46I chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:17:57And yet, I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:18:01We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:18:04We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage,
00:18:08and we'll for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:18:16Who's there?
00:18:41Anyone here?
00:18:54What do you want from me?
00:18:56You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:19:07Where 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.
00:19:21I 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.
00:19:28I will cooperate.
00:19:30If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:19:33Just let me go.
00:19:36Let me go.
00:20:00Hello?
00:20:01Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:20:04Maya's life depends on you.
00:20:06Don't bother.
00:20:07You 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.
00:20:20Just do as I said.
00:20:22I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:20:25That's not my concern.
00:20:27Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:20:31I need to be sure she's okay.
00:20:33Let me talk to her.
00:20:34That won't be happening.
00:20:36I swear, if you dare to touch her, I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:20:42I don't know what to do, Scott.
00:20:53They're asking for 5 millions in 24 hours.
00:20:55I can't lose her.
00:20:57Well, figure it out, James.
00:20:59I'll do everything I can.
00:21:01I can't lose Mia.
00:21:04I 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.
00:21:36Blackmail?
00:21:39Someone 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.
00:21:48Mark, 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.
00:22:10You're a fucking nuisance.
00:22:11I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:22:14I might be able to cash this out.
00:22:29I might be able to cash 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.
00:22:52Please give us a moment.
00:22:53Can you get money from me in an hour?
00:22:59It's for an urgent matter.
00:23:02Sure, 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 it.
00:23:16Great.
00:23:29Is it ready?
00:23:33Yes.
00:23:34Give me the location.
00:23:36Boom!
00:23:52I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:23:55Do anything to keep you safe.
00:23:57We're in this together.
00:23:59I thought I'd never see you again.
00:24:04I swear to you, I'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 and bringing them to justice.
00:24:36Thank you, Detective.
00:24:37We appreciate your efforts.
00:24:39I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:24:51It's not your fault.
00:24:52We'll get for this.
00:24:54Hughie.
00:24:55Hughie.
00:24:56It's been a while since we had a piece of room like this.
00:25:08Yeah.
00:25:09It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:25:21Yeah.
00:25:22It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:25:26Mia.
00:25:27You won't believe this.
00:25:41What is it?
00:25:43A company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:25:49They love my pitch.
00:25:50Oh my god, James.
00:25:51That's amazing.
00:25:52I'm gonna call my employees to announce this news.
00:25:59And an after party later?
00:26:01You know me too well.
00:26:03Will you pick me up later for a little celebration?
00:26:07Absolutely.
00:26:08I'll meet you at home after work.
00:26:10Yeah, yeah.
00:26:32Yes.
00:26:34Yes, 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.
00:26:43Wow!
00:26:44That's fantastic!
00:26:45I will get that done.
00:27:01Thank you all for your time.
00:27:02I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:27:07Before I finish, I'm just curious.
00:27:10Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:27:14Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:27:17She said you're an old friend.
00:27:20An old friend?
00:27:23I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:27:26You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:27:30For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:27:32The job done.
00:27:33The job done.
00:27:34The job done.
00:27:38The job done.
00:27:40How about your security in the world?
00:27:43The job done.
00:27:44The job done.
00:27:45The job done.
00:27:46The job done.
00:27:47It's impossible.
00:27:48The job done.
00:27:49You're not a man.
00:27:50However, his job done.
00:27:51The job done.
00:27:52The job done.
00:27:53What's wrong, James?
00:28:13What could that be?
00:28:16I don't know.
00:28:19But we are going to find out soon.
00:28:23Samantha, 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.
00:28:38James, we've made some significant progress.
00:28:42I think we are closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:28:48I'm over yours.
00:28:49Details, please.
00:28:49We managed to trace the source of the blackmail.
00:28:53At times, we found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:28:58Richard Kingsley?
00:28:59Never heard that name.
00:29:00And why would he do this?
00:29:02We are still walking on that part.
00:29:05We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:29:08Thank you, Samantha.
00:29:10Keep me posted on any updates.
00:29:12I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:29:15Of course, we are so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:29:34I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:29:37I tried to call you many times and you didn't answer.
00:29:39Richard, I thought something happened to you.
00:29:43I'm so sorry.
00:29:44I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:29:47Everything's okay.
00:29:48I'm just glad you're okay.
00:29:51I'm safe and sound.
00:29:53Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:29:57Samantha, 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.
00:30:23I won't ever want to lose you.
00:30:27I'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.
00:30:36It's wonderful.
00:30:39You're really talented.
00:30:42Thank you so much for your support.
00:30:44It means the world to me.
00:31:00Hello?
00:31:00James, 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?
00:31:16I can't really need 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 3 p.m., and we can go over all the details.
00:31:30Thank you for your recognition.
00:31:32I'm more than happy to leave this project to our huge success.
00:31:35Hi.
00:31:43I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:32:00My apologies, James. I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events, but our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:32:12Wow. I was not aware of that.
00:32:15Maybe you can catch up with each other. It's a great opportunity. She surely is very excited about this.
00:32:30I'm James Turner. You're...
00:33:00Jimmy, don't you remember me?
00:33:09I'm sorry, but I can't seem to.
00:33:14Perhaps this will help you to remember.
00:33:22I thought as much. It's me, your beloved daughter.
00:33:30Mabel!
00:33:31What the...
00:33:33You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:33:59I know, babe. I can't believe you're graduating. I'm a date flight.
00:34:05Life after college. It's a bit scary, but I'm so excited.
00:34:11I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:34:16I'm sure nothing can stop you from the goal.
00:34:24I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:34:27Yeah, I know.
00:34:30Did you lock the door?
00:34:32Of course I did.
00:34:35Hope you won't change after you live.
00:34:38I won't.
00:34:40I can't wait to get married.
00:34:43I'm sorry. I have to find out like this, but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:34:47Mabelle?
00:34:54James, I can't explain.
00:34:57I'm so sorry you have to find out like this, but Mabelle and I have been together for a while now.
00:35:03Mabelle? What are you doing here?
00:35:19It's Victoria. And through business, of course, darling.
00:35:25What are you playing here? What's up with all the charade?
00:35:32Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James. You know, for the old time's sake.
00:35:43Old time's sake? You cheated on me with my best friend. What do you want?
00:35:49People change, James. And I just can't let you off my mind.
00:35:57How did you become the president of this company? What are you hiding?
00:36:02A woman like me can get whatever I want with just a little trick.
00:36:08See? I helped you got this project. I've missed you, James. Missed us. We should be together. I'm the only one who can help you.
00:36:23No, Victoria. I won't let you manipulate. Not again.
00:36:28You have always been a challenge, James.
00:36:39This is not how I imaged our reunion. If you come here to talk about that project, let's get to it. Otherwise, you should leave.
00:36:47Don't be so harsh. If you want business, we'll talk about business. Let's get professional.
00:36:58James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our opacity. I trust you and your ability. I know what you're capable of.
00:37:09Really? Oh, please. Put our history behind, will you? I pay responsibility to my company too, okay? I didn't take this job for fun.
00:37:23Fine. Let's be clear. I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:37:31Agree, James. We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:38:01Scott, you won't believe what just happened. What's the matter?
00:38:15Wait. Mabel? Your ex-girlfriend from college? You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:38:21That's the one. She's now going by Victoria and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:38:27She wants my help on the project. I can't shake feeling that there's more to it.
00:38:35I think we have to wait for her move. I need to find out what's really going on.
00:38:40But I can't do it alone. Will you help me, Scott?
00:38:43Of course. Happy to help. She wants you involved in a realistic project.
00:38:48But it's more than just business. I'm sure of it.
00:38:51I have the same feeling. Nothing is ever pure about her. I don't want Mia to worry about this.
00:38:56She's working on an important artwork. And I promised I'll protect her.
00:39:02Of course. I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:39:07Thanks, man. What should I do without you?
00:39:10James, are you okay? You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:39:25Sorry to make your work, babe. Just stuff with work, you know.
00:39:31Alright. It's just that we've been through a lot together. You don't need to hide anything from me. If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:39:43Babe, it shouldn't worry you. I can handle it myself. Trust me.
00:39:49Okay. Just remember, I'm always here for you. If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm here.
00:40:02Thank you, Mia. You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to me.
00:40:07James, we're one. There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:40:19Hi, Jimmy.
00:40:23Victoria.
00:40:25What an unexpected surprise. I 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. I have Mia and she means everything to me.
00:40:42Oh, please, James. You wouldn't let a college flinch cloud your judgement after all these years. Right?
00:40:50Spare me the details. You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:40:56What did you expect me to do, James?
00:40:59You were leaving college and I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:41:05I need someone to back me up. I was a child.
00:41:09I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria.
00:41:13I 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 outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:41:33James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:41:37I just want to be in your life.
00:41:39And you are calm with us to check the new site for our project. It's required by our partnership contract.
00:41:51Mia, I've got a business trip coming up. It's a sudden opportunity and I need to leave for a few days.
00:42:05Oh, really? That's unexpected. When do you leave?
00:42:11Tomorrow morning. I know, it's a short notice, but I'll be back before you know it.
00:42:16Alright, James. Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
00:42:23I will. I'll miss you so much.
00:42:25I miss you so much.
00:42:42James. You've had quite a bit.
00:42:47Is everything all right?
00:42:52She's strong, too.
00:42:55Thanks.
00:42:57Everything's fine. She's leaving.
00:43:00Yeah.
00:43:08Everything's fine. She's leaving.
00:43:21You've had enough tonight, James.
00:43:23Let me make sure you're comfortable.
00:43:25You're comfortable.
00:43:28Victoria.
00:43:30What are you doing?
00:43:32Don't you worry.
00:43:34We'll have a little chat.
00:43:36You're safe with me.
00:43:39What do you want?
00:43:42You, James.
00:43:44I want you.
00:43:46I want all of you.
00:43:48Your body, your love, and even your soul.
00:43:53Stop.
00:43:58I'm...
00:44:00I'm married.
00:44:02I don't mind.
00:44:04Poor leaving.
00:44:06This makes you want you more.
00:44:11You enjoy it, don't you?
00:44:13I know exactly how to please you.
00:44:17Yeah.
00:44:19I can do it, darling.
00:44:20Oh, come on.
00:44:21No.
00:44:22Darling.
00:44:24We all know about your little contract.
00:44:27Besides...
00:44:29She would never find out.
00:44:34You know this is what we're talking about, James?
00:44:36Oh, James.
00:44:48What the hell happened?
00:44:56I can't believe I'll have to get this far.
00:45:01Don, baby.
00:45:03What's wrong?
00:45:04Victoria, this is a mistake.
00:45:07Did you set me up?
00:45:09Why are you laying next to me?
00:45:11Oh, you were just so energetic.
00:45:15Stop the games.
00:45:17I'm serious.
00:45:18I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do.
00:45:20Oh, well.
00:45:21Let's say we had a stunning night and I saved some pictures for members.
00:45:38Delete those pictures right now.
00:45:40Why don't you come here and make me?
00:45:43Why don't you come here and make me?
00:45:47You're playing with fire.
00:45:49I won't be blackmailed or manipulated.
00:45:51Delete them.
00:45:52Now.
00:45:58You're just no fun, James.
00:46:00I want you to step away from my life.
00:46:08This can't happen again.
00:46:10We'll see about that.
00:46:12Oh, Jamie, Jamie.
00:46:26You can never run away from me.
00:46:30Oh, my God. James, you're home.
00:46:33I miss you too, babe.
00:46:34It's good to be home.
00:46:36Tell me everything about your trip.
00:46:38It was a normal business trip.
00:46:39Nothing special.
00:46:41Let's not talk about it.
00:46:42I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
00:46:45Okay, sure.
00:46:47I'm just so glad you're home.
00:46:49Okay, sure.
00:46:51I'm just so glad you're home.
00:47:03Hello?
00:47:17Hello, Mia.
00:47:19Who's this?
00:47:21I guess Jimmy didn't tell you about me.
00:47:24I'm Victoria, the president of the company James is presently partnering in.
00:47:29Okay.
00:47:31How may I help you?
00:47:32You see, Jimmy and I have come a long way, and since you're not really married to him,
00:47:38so I guess there is no harm in stepping in.
00:47:41What do you mean?
00:47:43You see, James is mine, and mine alone.
00:47:47He will kindly excuse us so we can be together.
00:47:51That will be great.
00:47:53He would never like someone like you.
00:47:55Oh, please.
00:47:57He showed lots of love to me not long ago.
00:47:59He surely had no time to think of you.
00:48:02I sent you the pictures.
00:48:04Hope you enjoy them.
00:48:05Hope you enjoy them.
00:48:14Impossible.
00:48:16He would never do this to me.
00:48:18Just me.
00:48:26Hey.
00:48:27What's wrong?
00:48:29Nothing.
00:48:33How was your day?
00:48:35Oh.
00:48:36Who is...
00:48:37Victoria?
00:48:38Victoria?
00:48:39Where did you hear that name from?
00:48:41She called me James.
00:48:42She said things.
00:48:43Things...
00:48:44I can't believe.
00:48:45Mia, it's...
00:49:07Can you explain?
00:49:08You have to know, you're the one and the only one I love.
00:49:10She's the only one I love.
00:49:15Tell me the truth, James.
00:49:17Is she important to you?
00:49:29She's my ex from college.
00:49:32And also my current business partner.
00:49:36And what about this?
00:49:38Is this part of your business?
00:49:49We had a businessman.
00:49:51She set me up.
00:49:53I made a mistake.
00:49:56But it's not how it looks like.
00:49:58I love you.
00:50:00And I don't want her to ruin us.
00:50:04Tell me the truth, James.
00:50:06What happened that night?
00:50:12Yeah.
00:50:13I tried to stop her.
00:50:16I was...
00:50:18too drunk and also confused.
00:50:23I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
00:50:26You put our relationship on edge.
00:50:30I'm so sorry.
00:50:31I'll...
00:50:33I'll do everything it takes to make this right.
00:50:36Please, don't give up on us.
00:50:43I need some space.
00:50:45Please, just...
00:50:46Leave me alone.
00:50:47Please, just...
00:50:49Leave me alone.
00:50:50I need some space.
00:50:51Thanks.
00:50:52Let me go.
00:50:56This is the same.
00:50:57I have to stop her.
00:50:59This is the same thing.
00:51:00This is your DNA.
00:51:01I'm sure...
00:51:02It's not the same one.
00:51:03It's the same.
00:51:04Anything?
00:51:05Is that right?
00:51:07I lost my mind.
00:51:08You should just take two days.
00:51:09I can't wait.
00:51:10I've done that for four to five years now.
00:51:11It's been a challenging investigation, but I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kinsley.
00:51:19I'm listening.
00:51:21He went to the same college with Mia, and he developed an obsession over her everything.
00:51:27He'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.
00:51:44But we've identified his patterns and his current location.
00:51:48I'd advise involving the authorities and getting a restraining order against him.
00:51:54Thank you, Samantha. I appreciate your dedication.
00:51:57You and Mia deserve peace, James. I will continue to monitor the situation,
00:52:02but please take legal action to protect yourself.
00:52:07I'll take care of her, and it's time for me to take control.
00:52:28It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think?
00:52:31Who sent you after us? Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan.
00:52:36If you don't tell the truth, I will call the cops on you.
00:52:40Fine. Fine. It was Victoria.
00:52:44Victoria? How did she convince you to do this?
00:52:48She 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.
00:53:03You were manipulated, Richard. You were manipulated, Richard. You're such a clown.
00:53:16James? I've been seeing you.
00:53:22I thought someone never would see me again, huh? Miss me already?
00:53:26Victoria, I want answers. Why did you hire Richard to stalk us?
00:53:36Richard? I've never heard any Richard in my life.
00:53:41I know it was you. I know it was you. He told me everything.
00:53:47Okay. It was me. But I did it for us.
00:53:54For us? I don't know there isn't us.
00:53:59I've always loved you, Jimmy. I just want to be back together with you.
00:54:18Here's the plan.
00:54:21We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
00:54:25We are professionals. We know how to follow 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.
00:54:47We understand. You get which one?
00:54:55What?
00:55:09Hello?
00:55:14Who's there?
00:55:16My, my, Mia.
00:55:21What a tangled web we weave.
00:55:31It's me.
00:55:33Victoria.
00:55:35What do you want?
00:55:37I warned you to walk away.
00:55:39But you just wouldn't listen.
00:55:41So 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.
00:55:52He'll never get away with this.
00:55:54James wants nothing to do with you.
00:55:58We'll see about that.
00:56:00You can't control other people's feelings.
00:56:04You're such a bunny.
00:56:07Baby Jamie wanted to have a bet.
00:56:10Why 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.
00:56:24It's not a negotiation. It's a demand.
00:56:26James and I are married.
00:56:28And there's nothing you can do about it.
00:56:32Don't be too confident.
00:56:34Just yet.
00:56:36Mia!
00:56:38Hi, Jimmy.
00:56:40What's the hurry?
00:56:42You came last night?
00:56:44I'm sorry.
00:56:46I'm sorry.
00:56:48I'm sorry.
00:56:49I'm sorry.
00:56:51I'm sorry.
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.
00:57:07You've got one minute, James.
00:57:10Your precious contract wife with the woman who's loved you all along.
00:57:19Victoria.
00:57:22Why are you doing this?
00:57:24You're risking your own life.
00:57:27You just never believed that I truly loved you, right?
00:57:31I won't even have a life after tonight.
00:57:34But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
00:57:37Please.
00:57:39Put the gun down.
00:57:41You don't want to end up like this.
00:57:42Mia is the only one in love.
00:57:43Hey.
00:57:44It's over now.
00:57:45You're safe.
00:57:46I was so scared, James.
00:57:47I thought I'd never see you again.
00:57:48You don't want to end up like this.
00:57:49You don't want to end up like this.
00:57:50Mia is the only one in love.
00:57:51You don't want to end up like this.
00:57:52Mia is the only one in love.
00:57:53I'm so scared.
00:57:54I'm so scared, James.
00:57:55I thought I'd never see you again.
00:57:56I know.
00:57:57I'm more scared too.
00:57:58But here we are.
00:57:59And I'll always protect you.
00:58:00You mean the world to me.
00:58:01I love you, babe.
00:58:02I love you.
00:58:03I love you.
00:58:04I love you.
00:58:05I love you, woman.
00:58:06I love you.
00:58:07I love you, babe.
00:58:08That's cool.
00:58:09I love you.
00:58:10You love you, baby.
00:58:11I love you, baby.
00:58:12You're too.
00:58:13I love you, baby.
00:58:14I love you.
00:58:15I don't know.
00:58:16I love you.
00:58:18Hey.
00:58:19We're home.
00:58:20We're safe.
00:58:21I was so scared, James.
00:58:23I thought I'd never see you again.
00:58:25I know.
00:58:26I was scared too.
00:58:27I love you, James.
00:58:30I love you, too.
00:58:35Why?
00:58:37Why did you betray me?
00:58:41I never wanted to hurt you.
00:58:44I was ill and I was ill.
00:58:47I did not like to handle it, so...
00:58:51I decided not to tell you that I'm so sorry.
00:58:54You should have trusted me, James.
00:58:57I'm not the kind of woman you can fight with.
00:59:04Yeah.
00:59:06Nina!
00:59:23Are you okay?
00:59:24You scared the hell out of me.
00:59:28It's okay.
00:59:30I feel better now.
00:59:32I'm sorry to have scared you.
00:59:35I guess tonight's events took a lot out of me.
00:59:40I'm so sorry for everything that has happened.
00:59:45I love you.
00:59:47I'm so sorry.
00:59:48I love you.
00:59:50I love you.
00:59:51I love you.
00:59:53also takes away from my strength.
00:59:58What?
01:00:00What did you just say?
01:00:02Well, I've been having some fainting incidents recently, so...
01:00:09I went to the hospital by myself, and...
01:00:14it looks like in eight months, you're going to become a dad.
01:00:19What? You're pregnant?
01:00:26Oh my God!
01:00:29I can't believe! I had no idea!
01:00:32You should have told me earlier!
01:00:35I can't believe we're becoming parents!
01:00:37This is the most exciting moment in my life!
01:00:40I knew you would be happy.
01:00:43James, with the baby coming, and the incidents behind us,
01:00:49I think it's time we come clean to our parents.
01:00:52They deserve to know the truth,
01:00:55and we have to tell them they have a grandchild on the way.
01:01:00You're right, Mia. It's time to be honest with them.
01:01:04I'm so happy.
01:01:12You know, Mia, I was thinking, I want a girl.
01:01:16She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:01:18Oh, really?
01:01:19I'm imagining a boy with your intelligence and my sense of beauty.
01:01:26But, as long as the little one is healthy, I'm satisfied.
01:01:31I've never been more excited about the future.
01:01:33Me too, James.
01:01:35This journey, our journey, it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:01:41Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:01:43And maybe, just maybe, we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:01:47Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:01:57Oh, my God.
01:02:00Are you trying to spoil me?
01:02:02Maybe I am.
01:02:03You deserve it.
01:02:04This looks amazing.
01:02:06I love the nuggets.
01:02:08I believe in us, James.
01:02:12We've gone through a lot of challenges,
01:02:16and 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.
01:02:37Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:02:45Our marriage started with a light tune of all of you.
01:02:52And?
01:02:54It was a business arrangement.
01:02:58But, over time, we fell in love with each other.
01:03:04We want to make it real.
01:03:06And we'd like to have your blessing for real this time.
01:03:13Well, your marriage, contract or not, has looked pretty real to me from the very beginning.
01:03:23And I'm glad you guys are brave enough to admit the mistakes.
01:03:28And go on with your real happy marriage love.
01:03:33Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:03:36I'll always be there for her.
01:03:41And we have a new member coming to the family soon.
01:03:45Bye.
01:03:46Bye.
01:03:47Bye.
