00:00:00Marriage. Suffocating.
00:00:06Tell me about it.
00:00:09Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:00:14Family pressures, right?
00:00:17Wanna talk?
00:00:23My family have been on my case for years.
00:00:26It's like they have already chosen my future spouse.
00:00:30My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:00:41I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:00:46I'm Mia. Pleasure to meet you.
00:00:51To our endless battle.
00:00:57To my new comrade.
00:01:00What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:01:08A contract marriage?
00:01:10Yeah.
00:01:11Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life.
00:01:16We'll make a legal contract with, maybe separate bedrooms, financial terms and so on.
00:01:21Oh.
00:01:22No feelings should be included.
00:01:25This is huge. I need to think about it.
00:01:29I know. It's not something I deal with the person whom you just met.
00:01:35But think about this.
00:01:37The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:01:42So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:01:45It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:01:46It's just, like I said, love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:01:55They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:02:05You should admit it, Mia. I do.
00:02:07But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:02:09And we need to adapt to that.
00:02:11Our life won't change a bit.
00:02:13Just more freedom with this contract.
00:02:15But what about the no emotions term?
00:02:19Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:02:23It's necessary.
00:02:25We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:02:28This won't make things difficult.
00:02:33You do make a good point.
00:02:37I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:02:41But we need to set boundaries.
00:02:45Conditions.
00:02:46We'll stick with friendship.
00:02:48Contractual partners.
00:02:51Agreed, Mia.
00:02:52I'll write the legal contract.
00:02:54And we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:02:58Oh, and one more thing, James.
00:03:00We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this.
00:03:03We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:03:08Absolutely.
00:03:10Our contract won't affect any of our lives.
00:03:13We can make it done tomorrow.
00:03:15While our squad will take care of everything.
00:03:19Deal.
00:03:30I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:03:33Yeah, we've got that formula.
00:03:40Let's go through this contract together.
00:03:42Okay.
00:03:46Separate bedrooms.
00:03:50No feelings clause.
00:03:56And it's clear financial terms.
00:03:59Yep.
00:04:03We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:04:29I just can't believe we did that.
00:04:34So, what's next?
00:04:37We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:04:40I'll propose to you in your apartment.
00:04:42And send pictures to our families.
00:04:45Oh.
00:04:46It's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:04:50Yes, then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it.
00:04:53It's all part of the plan.
00:04:56I really want to get this out of my head.
00:04:58Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:05:11Did you turn the camera on?
00:05:12Yeah.
00:05:14It's working.
00:05:20Mia.
00:05:21There is something I'm wanting to ask you tonight.
00:05:23Yes?
00:05:28Mia.
00:05:29Will you marry me?
00:05:31Oh my God, James.
00:05:32Yes!
00:05:33I can't believe we just did that.
00:05:55I can't believe we just did that.
00:06:00It's all part of the plan.
00:06:01Yeah.
00:06:02Another successful play.
00:06:03It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:06:07I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:06:11Focus on the way.
00:06:13I can't believe we just did that.
00:06:15It's all part of the plan.
00:06:16Another successful play.
00:06:18It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:06:22I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:06:25Focus on the bigger picture.
00:06:27Neither of us wants a real marriage right now.
00:06:30And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:06:34Let's get some rest.
00:06:35Goodnight.
00:06:37Goodnight.
00:06:39Goodnight.
00:06:40Goodnight.
00:06:55Mia.
00:06:56Are you okay?
00:06:59Please.
00:07:00Open up.
00:07:01Talk to me.
00:07:02I can't do this, James.
00:07:03At the wedding, I saw everyone's faces.
00:07:04They were so happy and blessed us with their whole hearts.
00:07:18I feel like I betrayed every one of them.
00:07:22But we are already here.
00:07:25There is no way of going back.
00:07:28I saw their faces.
00:07:31They believed in us.
00:07:33It was all a huge lie.
00:07:36I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:07:40It's not easy for me either.
00:07:43But we have to hang in there.
00:07:46We can't let them down right now.
00:07:57I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:08:08I wish that Timia.
00:08:10But I promise, we can get through it.
00:08:13I promise.
00:08:14James, I have something that I want to say.
00:08:31Mia.
00:08:33We agreed.
00:08:35No feelings.
00:08:40I know.
00:08:41But...
00:08:51Call him and set my friend.
00:08:55Please enjoy the evening.
00:09:06James?
00:09:07What's this?
00:09:11No.
00:09:12No.
00:09:41No.
00:09:59James?
00:10:03Where are you?
00:10:05Right here, Mia.
00:10:07Is there any candle?
00:10:12Hey, Hassan.
00:10:13That's...
00:10:15James...
00:10:21So...
00:10:23Any clue on that note?
00:10:27Uh...
00:10:29Sorry.
00:10:30I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you, a gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:10:56Everyone knows our secret, what should we do?
00:11:21You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:11:26It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:11:32I know, and I'm glad that I met you.
00:11:35You're such a special woman, and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:11:44You too.
00:11:45I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:11:53Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:12:08It's not a fairy tale.
00:12:12It's a bloody reality.
00:12:14But, I still like it.
00:12:17It's our story.
00:12:20You too.
00:12:21You too.
00:12:22You too.
00:12:23You too.
00:12:24You too.
00:12:25You too.
00:12:26You too.
00:12:27You too.
00:12:28You too.
00:12:29You too.
00:12:30You too.
00:12:31You too.
00:12:33You too.
00:12:35You too.
00:12:36You too.
00:12:37You too.
00:12:38You too.
00:12:40You too.
00:12:41You too.
00:12:42You too.
00:12:43You too.
00:12:44You too.
00:12:45You too.
00:12:46You too.
00:12:47You too.
00:12:48You too.
00:12:49You too.
00:12:50You too.
00:12:51You too.
00:12:52You too.
00:12:53I need to be there on time.
00:12:54Let's call the building.
00:12:55They should come and fix this.
00:13:05There's no signal.
00:13:07We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:13:10We won't.
00:13:12Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:13:16We just need to be patient.
00:13:23What's that for?
00:13:24Just to give us some strength.
00:13:26Friends can hug too.
00:13:28Okay.
00:13:39I can't believe this is happening.
00:13:41Well...
00:13:42At least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:13:47You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:13:52James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:14:01They'd be so disappointed.
00:14:04We are doing everything we can.
00:14:07And so far, we did good.
00:14:09Everyone is happy.
00:14:11I just think about how far we've come.
00:14:16Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:14:26It's like an endless spy game.
00:14:28I know.
00:14:29But we are in this together.
00:14:32We chose this to take control of our life.
00:14:35And now we are tied together by fate.
00:14:38We are one.
00:14:44I suddenly feel so relieved.
00:14:47Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:14:53I know.
00:14:54I always rush to my friends after a bad day.
00:14:56And here I am, with a dearest friend.
00:15:00And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom.
00:15:04Now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:15:07Mine too.
00:15:08My mom called the other day.
00:15:10But when she saw you walk out from the bath,
00:15:12she hung up as soon as she could.
00:15:14But of course, she made fun of us.
00:15:17Or maybe next time I can show up even sexier.
00:15:21And then she can make fun of you some more.
00:15:24I'm sexy now.
00:15:38Maybe we should talk about what just happened?
00:15:42The moment was...
00:15:44I enjoyed it.
00:15:45There is something I never thought I would say.
00:15:48But it's not what we expected.
00:15:51I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:15:54Mia, I have to tell you.
00:15:56I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:16:01I care about you more than I should.
00:16:04I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:16:09I'm in love with you.
00:16:12I actually feel the exact same way.
00:16:22I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:16:26Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection,
00:16:30I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:16:33Let's tell everyone the truth.
00:16:36I'm sure they'll understand.
00:16:39Maybe mad at first, but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:16:43Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:16:45Why now?
00:16:46I know, Mia.
00:16:47But it's time to set things right.
00:16:48It should be our priority right now.
00:16:50It should be our priority right now.
00:17:03Yeah.
00:17:04James.
00:17:06Our parents aside,
00:17:07I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:17:11Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:17:15Mia, I have no idea.
00:17:17But I hired an investigator, hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:17:22I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:17:31We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:17:34This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight,
00:17:38bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:17:42I chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:17:51And yet, I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:17:56We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:17:59We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage,
00:18:03and we'll for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:18:08Who's there?
00:18:36Anyone here?
00:18:49What do you want from me?
00:18:51You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:19:02Where am I?
00:19:05What did I do?
00:19:06I assure you, there's a misunderstanding.
00:19:10Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:19:13Don't worry, you will know what we want soon enough.
00:19:16I just need you to behave right now.
00:19:18We can talk things out.
00:19:21You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:19:23I will cooperate.
00:19:25If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:19:30Just let me go.
00:19:31Hello?
00:19:49Hello?
00:19:56Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:19:58Maya's life depends on you.
00:20:00Don't bother.
00:20:02You won't recognize who I am.
00:20:04What matters is Maya.
00:20:06You have 24 hours to prepare 5 million dollars if you want to see her alive.
00:20:11Who are you and what do you want?
00:20:13That is not a question for me to answer.
00:20:15Just do as I said.
00:20:17I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:20:21That's not my concern.
00:20:23Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:20:27I need to be sure she's okay. Let me talk to her.
00:20:30That won't be happening.
00:20:32I swear, if you dare to touch her, I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:20:37I don't know what to do, Scott. They're asking for 5 million in 24 hours. I can't lose her.
00:20:52Well, figure it out, James. I'll do everything I can.
00:20:57I can't lose Mia.
00:20:58I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:21:06We found each other the one we have been looking for our whole life.
00:21:09Oh, no. This was not meant to happen.
00:21:13I have to find her. I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:21:17We will.
00:21:18But who will commit such a horrible crime?
00:21:23Anyone ring the bell?
00:21:25Mia wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:21:26I can assure you, this has something to do with that blackmail we received.
00:21:33Blackmail?
00:21:35Someone has been stalking us.
00:21:37They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:21:40Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:21:42Mark, please. I need your help. Mia's life is in danger.
00:21:51I wish I could, James. 5 million is a lot.
00:21:56I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:22:00Save it, Mark.
00:22:01When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help you.
00:22:04You're a fucking nuisance.
00:22:06I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:22:09I might be able to catch this up.
00:22:33Thank you for calling CPM Bank.
00:22:36Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:22:39I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:22:42I want to cash it out immediately.
00:22:45I understand the urgency.
00:22:47Please give us a moment.
00:22:56Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:22:58It's for an urgent matter.
00:23:01Sure. Since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:23:05I will be there in 20 minutes.
00:23:07Please get the cash ready by then.
00:23:09Yes, sir. I'll move it.
00:23:11Later.
00:23:27Is it ready?
00:23:28Yes. Give me the location.
00:23:30Boom!
00:23:31I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:23:50Do anything to keep you safe.
00:23:52We're in this together.
00:23:53I want to give you both an update.
00:24:15I want to give you both an update.
00:24:18We are investigating the lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:24:22Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers
00:24:26and bringing them to justice.
00:24:30Thank you, Detective. We appreciate your efforts.
00:24:39I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:24:45It's not your fault. We'll get through this.
00:24:49You.
00:24:51It's been a while since we had a pissy moon like this.
00:24:57Yeah. It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:25:01It's been a while since we had a pissy moon like this.
00:25:15Yeah. It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:25:21Mia, you won't believe this.
00:25:35What is it?
00:25:37A company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:25:43They love my pitch.
00:25:45Oh my god, James. That's amazing.
00:25:47I'm gonna call my employees to announce this news.
00:25:51And an after party later?
00:25:57You know me too well.
00:25:59Will you pick me up later for our little celebration?
00:26:03Absolutely. I'll meet you at home after work.
00:26:07Yes. I needed to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:26:21We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:26:37Wow. This is fantastic. I will gather them.
00:26:55Thank you all for your time.
00:26:57I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:27:02Before I finish, I'm just curious. Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:27:09Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:27:12She said you're an old friend.
00:27:15An old friend?
00:27:18I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:27:21You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:27:25For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:27:32Family business.
00:27:48I'm glad you can get it to the people you have.
00:28:00What's wrong, James?
00:28:08What could that be?
00:28:11I don't know.
00:28:14But we are going to find out soon.
00:28:25Samantha, have you found anything?
00:28:28I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:28:30I hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:28:33James, we've made some significant progress.
00:28:36I think we are closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:28:43I'm over yours. Details, please.
00:28:45We managed to trace the source of the blackmail attempts.
00:28:48We found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:28:52Richard Kingsley?
00:28:54You never heard that name.
00:28:55And why would he do this?
00:28:58We are still working on that part.
00:29:00We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:29:03Thank you, Samantha.
00:29:04Keep me posted on any updates.
00:29:06I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:29:09Of course, we are so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:29:14I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:29:18I tried to call you many times and you didn't answer.
00:29:22I thought something happened to you.
00:29:26I'm so sorry. I've been so engrossed in my painting. Everything's okay.
00:29:31I'm just glad you're okay.
00:29:32I'm safe and sound.
00:29:34Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:29:36Samantha, the private detective at heart is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:29:39I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:29:42You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life,
00:29:47James. Contract or not.
00:29:49I feel the same way, Mia.
00:29:50You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:29:54Contract or not.
00:29:56I feel the same way, Mia. I won't ever want to lose you.
00:30:06I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:30:10I don't know what you're doing.
00:30:12I'm going to feel the same way, Mia.
00:30:14I would never want to lose you.
00:30:18I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:30:24It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:30:32It's wonderful. You're really talented.
00:30:36Thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me.
00:30:55Hello?
00:30:57James, I trust you are well. I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:31:07Sure. Where should we meet?
00:31:11I can rearrange some work to make it.
00:31:14That's great. Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:31:19I'll be at your office at 3 p.m. and we can go over all the details.
00:31:25Thank you for your recognition. I'm more than happy to leave this project to our huge success.
00:31:50Hi. I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:31:55My apologies, James. I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events.
00:32:03But our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:32:07Wow. I was not aware of that.
00:32:10Maybe you can catch up with each other. It's a great opportunity. She surely is very excited about this.
00:32:17Yes.
00:32:47I'm James Turner. You're...
00:32:50I'm James Turner. You're...
00:32:57Jimmy? Don't you remember me?
00:33:04I'm sorry, but I can see too.
00:33:07And...
00:33:09Perhaps...
00:33:11This will help you to remember?
00:33:17I've felt as much.
00:33:19It's me.
00:33:21Your beloved Mabel.
00:33:25Mabel?
00:33:27What the...
00:33:37You know, Mabel?
00:33:38Next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:33:54I know, babe.
00:33:56I can't believe you're graduating.
00:33:59I'm day-flight.
00:34:00Life after college.
00:34:02It's a bit scary.
00:34:04But I'm so excited.
00:34:06I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:34:11I'm sure nothing can stop you from the goal.
00:34:19I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:34:22Yeah, I know.
00:34:23I know.
00:34:25Did you lock the door?
00:34:27Of course I did.
00:34:30Hope you won't change after you leave.
00:34:33I won't.
00:34:48Mabel?
00:34:50James.
00:34:51I can't explain.
00:34:53I'm so sorry I have to find out like this, but...
00:34:56Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:35:11Mabel?
00:35:13What are you doing here?
00:35:15It's Victoria.
00:35:17And...
00:35:19Through business, of course, darling.
00:35:23What are you playing here?
00:35:25What's up with all the charade?
00:35:29Let's say...
00:35:31I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:35:35You know...
00:35:37For the old times' sake.
00:35:39Old times' sake?
00:35:41You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:35:43What do you want?
00:35:45People change, James.
00:35:47And...
00:35:49I just can't let you off my mind.
00:35:53How did you become the president of this company?
00:35:56What are you hiding?
00:35:58A woman like me can get whatever I want with just a little trick.
00:36:02See?
00:36:04I helped you got this project.
00:36:06I've missed you, James.
00:36:08Missed us.
00:36:10We should be together.
00:36:12I'm the only one who can help you.
00:36:14No, Victoria.
00:36:16I won't let you manipulate.
00:36:18Not again.
00:36:19Victoria.
00:36:20Victoria.
00:36:21I won't let you manipulate.
00:36:22Not again.
00:36:31You have...
00:36:32You have always been a challenge, James.
00:36:35This is not how I imaged our reunion.
00:36:37If you come here to talk about that project, let's get to it.
00:36:41Otherwise, you should leave.
00:36:43Don't be so harsh.
00:36:45If you want business, we'll talk about business.
00:36:50Let's get professional.
00:36:53James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our past.
00:36:58I trust you and your ability.
00:37:00I know what you're capable of.
00:37:04Really?
00:37:06Oh, please.
00:37:08Put our history behind, will you?
00:37:11I pay responsibility to my company too, okay?
00:37:15I didn't take this job for fun.
00:37:18Fine.
00:37:20Let's be clear.
00:37:22I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:37:27Agree, James.
00:37:29We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:37:35Scott.
00:37:57You won't believe what just happened.
00:37:59What's the matter?
00:38:05Wait.
00:38:07Mabel?
00:38:08Your ex-girlfriend from college?
00:38:10You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:38:12That's the one.
00:38:14She's now going by Victoria and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:38:18She wants my help on a project.
00:38:20I can't shake the feeling that there's more to it.
00:38:22I think we have to wait for her move.
00:38:24I need to find out what's really going on.
00:38:26I need to find out what's really going on.
00:38:29I need to find out what's really going on.
00:38:31I need to find out what's really going on.
00:38:33I need to find out what's really going on.
00:38:35But I can't do it alone.
00:38:36Will you help me, Scott?
00:38:38Of course.
00:38:39Happy to help.
00:38:41She wants you involved in a realistic project.
00:38:43But it's more than just business.
00:38:45I'm sure of it.
00:38:47I had the same feeling.
00:38:48Nothing is ever pure about her.
00:38:50I don't want Ria to worry about this.
00:38:52She's working on an important artwork.
00:38:54And I promised I'll protect her.
00:38:57Of course.
00:38:58I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:39:02Thanks, man.
00:39:04What should I do without you?
00:39:05James, are you okay?
00:39:19You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:39:23Sorry to make your word, babe.
00:39:25Just stuff with work, you know.
00:39:27Alright.
00:39:29It's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:39:31You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:39:34If you want to talk about something,
00:39:37we can figure it out together.
00:39:39Babe.
00:39:41It shouldn't worry you.
00:39:43I can handle it myself.
00:39:45Trust me.
00:39:47Okay.
00:39:49Just remember, I'm always here for you.
00:39:50If you want to talk things through or need some help,
00:39:55I'm here.
00:39:57Thank you, Mia.
00:39:59You focus on your beautiful project
00:40:01and leave everything else to me.
00:40:03James, we're one.
00:40:06There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:40:14Hi, Jimmy.
00:40:15Victoria.
00:40:21What an unexpected surprise.
00:40:23I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:40:28I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:40:31I've moved on with my life.
00:40:34I have Mia, and she means everything to me.
00:40:37Oh, please, James.
00:40:39You wouldn't let a college flinch close your judgement
00:40:42after all these years, right?
00:40:45Spare me the details.
00:40:47You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:40:50What did you expect me to do, James?
00:40:53You were leaving college,
00:40:55and I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:40:59I need someone to back me up.
00:41:01I was a child.
00:41:03I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria.
00:41:07I got over you a long time ago.
00:41:09So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:41:13Come back here, dummy.
00:41:15I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:41:20James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.

00:41:24And...

00:51:05yes I got a lead
00:51:07it's been a challenging investigation
00:51:09but I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley
00:51:14I'm listening
00:51:16he went to the same college with Mia
00:51:18and he developed an obsession over her everything
00:51:22he's been stalking your life
00:51:24collecting information
00:51:26and attempting to get her
00:51:28this is insane
00:51:30how did he get so close to us?
00:51:32he used virus, illnesses and keep a low profile
00:51:36which made it challenging to track him
00:51:39but we've identified his patterns and his current location
00:51:42I'd advise involving the authorities
00:51:46and getting a restraining order against him
00:51:49thank you Samantha, I appreciate your dedication
00:51:52you and Mia deserve peace James
00:51:54I will continue to monitor the situation
00:51:57but please take legal action to protect yourself
00:52:00I'll take care of her and it's time for me to take control

00:58:01silver apprentice
00:58:02we're safe
00:58:03we're safe
00:58:05I was so scared, James. I thought I'd never see you again.
00:58:12I know. I was scared too. But here we are. And I'll always protect you. You mean the
00:58:22world to me. I love you, James. I love you too.
00:58:30Why? Why did you betray me?
00:58:35No. I never wanted to hurt you. I was hurt and I lost control. I didn't know what to
00:58:44handle it, so I decided not to tell you and I'm so sorry.
00:58:49You should have trusted me, James. I'm the kind of woman you can fight with.
00:58:59Yeah. Mina!
00:59:18Are you okay? You scared the hell out of me.
00:59:22It's okay. I feel better now. I'm sorry to have scared you. I guess tonight's events took a lot out of me.
00:59:34I'm so sorry for everything that has happened. I love you.
00:59:40And I guess carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
00:59:53What? What did you just say?
00:59:57Well, 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.
01:00:14What? 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.
01:00:35I 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.
01:00:55You're right, Mia. It's time to be honest with you.
01:01:05I'm so happy.
01:01:07You know, Mia, I was thinking I want a girl. She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:01:13Oh 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.
01:01:26Never been more excited about the future.
01:01:28Me too, James. This journey, our journey, it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:01:36Surprise can be a good thing, right? And maybe, just maybe, we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:01:50Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:01:53Oh my God. Are you trying to spoil me?
01:01:57Maybe I am. You deserve it.
01:01:59This looks amazing. I love the nuggets.
01:02:03I believe in us, James. We've gone through a lot of challenges and come out even stronger.
01:02:14Tonight is the last step for us to become a real couple.
01:02:19I'm lucky to have you here by my side, Mia.
01:02:24It doesn't matter how angry they get upon hearing the news.
01:02:28We'll face it together.
01:02:36Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:02:45Our marriage started with a light to a new apology.
01:02:48And it was a business arrangement.
01:02:53But over time, we fell in love with each other.
01:02:59We want to make it real.
01:03:01And we'd like to have your blessing for real this time.
01:03:07Well, your marriage, contract or not, has looked pretty real to me from the very beginning.
01:03:18And I'm glad you guys are brave enough to admit the mistakes and go on with your real, happy marriage life.
01:03:28Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:03:34I'll always be there for her.
01:03:37And we have a new member coming to the family soon.
01:03:40Bye.
01:03:41Bye.
01:03:42Bye.
