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 like they've 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.
00:03:45Let'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.
00:04:03We'll be opera.
00:04:04We'll be commuted to each other from now on.
00:04:08We'll be commuted to each other from now on.
00:04:35I still can't believe we did that.
00:04:39So, what's next?
00:04:42We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:04:45I'll propose to you in your apartment and send pictures to our families.
00:04:50Oh, it's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:04:55Yes, then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it.
00:04:59It's all part of the plan.
00:05:01I 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?
00:05:06Did you turn the camera on?
00:05:18Yeah, it's working.
00:05:20It's working.
00:05:24Mia, there is something I'm going to ask you tonight.
00:05:28Yes?
00:05:32Mia, will you marry me?
00:05:34Will you marry me?
00:05:35Oh my God, James! Yes!
00:05:42Oh my God!
00:05:43I can't believe we just did that.
00:05:53It's all part of the plan.
00:05:54I can't believe we just did that.
00:05:55It's all part of the plan.
00:05:56I can't believe we just did that.
00:06:00It's all part of the plan.
00:06:01I can't believe we just did that.
00:06:02It's all part of the plan.
00:06:03I can't believe we just did that.
00:06:05It's all part of the plan.
00:06:06Yeah.
00:06:07Another successful play.
00:06:09It's all part of a man.
00:06:19Another 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.
00:06:36Neither 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.
00:07:00Mia, are you okay?
00:07:02Please, open up. Talk to me.
00:07:10I can't do this, James.
00:07:13At 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.
00:07:30There is no way of going back.
00:07:33I saw their faces.
00:07:36They 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.
00:07:52Right now.
00:08:10I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:08:12I wish that to Mia, but I promise, we can get through it.
00:08:18I promise.
00:08:28James, I have something that I want to say.
00:08:31Mia, we agreed.
00:08:39No feelings.
00:08:44I know.
00:08:46But...
00:08:56Compliments of a friend.
00:08:57Please enjoy your evening.
00:09:00Please enjoy your evening.
00:09:11James?
00:09:12What's this?
00:09:27I'll be so excited.
00:09:28It's been a long time, but I love it.
00:09:29I didn't know.
00:09:30I'll be so excited.
00:09:31But then, if you don't put it and you're going to try.
00:09:33You can eat my stomach.
00:09:34I'll be so excited.
00:09:35I'll be so excited.
00:09:36I've seen the morning.
00:09:37I will be so excited.
00:09:39I'll be so excited.
00:09:41I'm so excited.
00:09:43I want to go.
00:09:45I can't see you.
00:09:47You're seeing how you are.
00:09:49I'm so excited.
00:09:51You're like me and I see you.
00:09:53You're the little girl.
00:09:54James?
00:10:04Where are you?
00:10:09Right here, Mia.
00:10:11Is there any candle?
00:10:18James.
00:10:24So, any clue on that note?
00:10:40Sorry.
00:10:45Hello?
00:10:47I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you, a gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:10:54Someone knows our secret.
00:11:01What should we do?
00:11:05What should we do?
00:11:12You know, I've been thinking about the date we met.
00:11:19It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:11:27I know.
00:11:28And I'm glad that I met you.
00:11:29You're such a special woman, and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:11:34You too.
00:11:35I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:11:41Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:11:48It's not a fairy tale.
00:11:49It's not a fairy tale.
00:11:50It's a bloody reality.
00:11:51It's a bloody reality.
00:11:52But I still like it.
00:11:53But I still like it.
00:11:54It's not a fairy tale.
00:11:55It's a bloody reality.
00:12:00But I still like it.
00:12:01It's our story.
00:12:02It's our story.
00:12:07It's not a fairy tale.
00:12:14It's not a fairy tale.
00:12:17It's a bloody reality.
00:12:19But I still like it.
00:12:22It's our story.
00:12:24What's happening?
00:12:47We're stuck.
00:12:52What do we do?
00:12:55I need to be there on time.
00:12:59Let's call the building.
00:13:00They should come and fix this.
00:13:11There's no signal.
00:13:12We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:13:15We won't.
00:13:17Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:13:21We just need to be patient.
00:13:22What's that for?
00:13:23Just to give us some strength.
00:13:24Friends can hug too.
00:13:25Okay.
00:13:26I can't believe this is happening.
00:13:27Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:13:33You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:13:40James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:13:41They'd be so disappointed.
00:13:46We are doing everything we can.
00:13:47We are doing everything we can.
00:13:48So far, we did good.
00:13:49Everyone is happy.
00:13:50Everyone is happy.
00:13:51I just think about how far we've come.
00:13:52I just think about how far we've come.
00:13:53We are doing everything we can.
00:13:54So far, we did good.
00:13:56Everyone is happy.
00:13:57I just think about how far we've come.
00:14:03Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:14:04It's like an endless spy game.
00:14:05I do feel like we are doing everything we can.
00:14:06We're doing everything we can and we'll be happy.
00:14:07We are doing everything we can and so far, we did good.
00:14:08We are doing everything we can.
00:14:09We are doing everything we can.
00:14:10And so far, we did good.
00:14:13And so far, we did good.
00:14:15Everyone is happy.
00:14:18I 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.
00:14:36But we're in this together.
00:14:38We chose this to take control of our life.
00:14:40And now we are tied together by fate.
00:14:44We are one.
00:14:49I suddenly feel so relieved.
00:14:53Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:14:58I know.
00:14:59I always rush to my friends after a bad day.
00:15:01And here I am, with a dearest friend.
00:15:05And 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,
00:15:17she 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.
00:15:29I'm sexy now.
00:15:30Maybe we should talk about what just happened.
00:15:47The moment was...
00:15:48I enjoyed it.
00:15:50There's 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.
00:16:06I care about you more than I should.
00:16:09I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:16:14I'm in love with you.
00:16:15I actually feel the exact same way.
00:16:27I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:16:31Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection,
00:16:36I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:16:40Let's tell everyone the truth.
00:16:42I'm sure that wouldn't stand.
00:16:43They'd be mad at first,
00:16:45but 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.
00:16:53It should be our priority right now.
00:16:55James, our parents aside,
00:17:11I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:17:16Who 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.
00:17:30We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:17:40This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight,
00:17:43bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:17:46We chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:17:56And 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.
00:18:41Who's there?
00:18:52Anyone here?
00:18:54What do you want from me?
00:19:04You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:19:07Where am I?
00:19:09What did I do?
00:19:11I assure you, there's a misunderstanding.
00:19:15Please, 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.
00:19:26You 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.
00:19:36Just let me go.
00:19:36Just let me go.
00:19:36Hello?
00:19:56Hello?
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.
00:20:10You have 24 hours to prepare $5 million 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.
00:20:23I 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?
00:20:31I 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 that I can.
00:21:02I can't lose Mia.
00:21:06I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:21:11We 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?
00:21:28Mia wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:21:31I can assure you.
00:21:33This has something to do with that blackmail we received.
00:21:38Blackmail?
00:21:38Someone 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.
00:21:47Mark, please, I need your help.
00:21:54Mia's life is in danger.
00:21:56I wish I could, James.
00:21:59$5 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.
00:22:32Thank 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.
00:22:50I understand the urgency.
00:22:52Please give us a moment.
00:22:53Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:23:03It's for an urgent matter.
00:23:06Sure.
00:23:06Since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:23:10I will be there in 20 minutes.
00:23:12Please get the cash ready by then.
00:23:14Yes, sir.
00:23:15I'll move it.
00:23:16Great.
00:23:23Is it ready?
00:23:33Yes.
00:23:34Give me the location.
00:23:36Boom!
00:23:36I 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.
00:24:02I thought I'd never see you again.
00:24:05I swear to you.
00:24:07Protect 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.
00:24:28Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers
00:24:31and bringing them to justice.
00:24:33Thank you, Detective.
00:24:37We appreciate your efforts.
00:24:44I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:24:48It's not your fault.
00:24:53We'll get through this.
00:24:55Here we go.
00:24:56It's been a while since we had a pissy room like this.
00:25:21Yeah, it's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:25:38Mia, you won't believe this.
00:25:41What is it?
00:25:44A company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:25:49They love my pitch.
00:25:50Oh my God, James, that's amazing.
00:25:52I'm going to call my employees to announce this news.
00:26:00And an after party later?
00:26:02You know me too well.
00:26:06Will you pick me up later for a little celebration?
00:26:08Absolutely.
00:26:11I'll meet you at home after work.
00:26:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:26:13I know.
00:26:15Yes, I need you 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, this is fantastic.
00:26:44I will gather them.
00:27:00Thank you all for your time.
00:27:02I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:27:05Before 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.
00:27:18She 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.
00:27:30For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:27:33I'll ask us for the best I've ever done Eh sir.
00:27:37I wish for the best I can.
00:27:39See you guys.
00:27:42was invested in?
00:27:47I got my Introduction
00:27:49I did it.
00:27:51I needed to be a place for you.
00:27:55I just thought I had to be a place for yourself.
00:27:56Well see what you didn't ease myself
00:27:59I was just a problem
00:28:00What'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.
00:28:30Samantha, 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.
00:28:38James, we've made some significant progress.
00:28:41I think we are closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:28:48I'm over yours. Details, please.
00:28:50We 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.
00:29:00And why would he do this?
00:29:02We are still walking on that part.
00:29:04We will gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:29:08Thank you, Samantha.
00:29:09Keep me posted on any updates.
00:29:12I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:29:15Of course, we are so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:29:29I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:29:36I tried to call you many times and you didn't answer.
00:29:39I thought something happened to you.
00:29:41I'm so sorry.
00:29:43I'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.
00:29:55Samantha, the private detective at heart, is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:30:01I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:30:13You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:30:19Contract or not.
00:30:20I feel the same way, Mia.
00:30:22I won't ever want to lose you.
00:30:27I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:30:29It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:30:37It's wonderful.
00:30:38You're really talented.
00:30:40Thank you so much for your support.
00:30:43It means the world to me.
00:30:49Hello?
00:31:00James, I trust you are well.
00:31:04I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:31:11Sure.
00:31:12Where should we meet?
00:31:13I can rearrange some work to make it.
00:31:18That's great.
00:31:20Your 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 lead this project to our huge success.
00:31:35My apologies, James.
00:31:52Hi, I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:32:01My apologies, James.
00:32:03I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events.
00:32:09But our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:32:12Wow, I was not aware of that.
00:32:16Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:32:18It's a great opportunity.
00:32:19She surely is very excited about this.
00:32:49I'm James Turner.
00:32:57You're...
00:32:58Jimmy?
00:33:04Don't you remember me?
00:33:05I'm sorry, but I can't seem to...
00:33:14Perhaps this will help you to remember?
00:33:18I've got as much.
00:33:24It's me.
00:33:26Your beloved Mabel.
00:33:30Mabel?
00:33:32What the...
00:33:34You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:33:47You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:33:59I know, Mabel.
00:34:01I can't believe you're graduating.
00:34:04I'm day flying.
00:34:05Life after college.
00:34:07It'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.
00:34:29Did you lock the door?
00:34:32Of course I did.
00:34:36Hope you won't change after you live.
00:34:38I won't.
00:34:53Mabel?
00:34:55James, I can't explain.
00:34:59I'm so sorry I have to find out like this, but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:35:16Mabel?
00:35:17What are you doing here?
00:35:20It's Victoria.
00:35:21Victoria.
00:35:22And for business, of course, darling.
00:35:25What 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.
00:35:43Old time's sake?
00:35:45You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:35:48What do you want?
00:35:49People 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?
00:36:02A woman like me can get whatever I want with just a little trick.
00:36:09See?
00:36:11I helped you get this project.
00:36:14I've missed you, James.
00:36:16Missed us.
00:36:17We should be together.
00:36:19I'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.
00:36:36You 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.
00:36:47Don't be so harsh.
00:36:50If you want 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 past.
00:37:03I trust you and your ability.
00:37:06I know what you're capable of.
00:37:10Really?
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.
00:38:03What's the matter?
00:38:15Wait.
00:38:16Mabel?
00:38:17Your ex-girlfriend from college?
00:38:19You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:38:22That's the one.
00:38:22She's now going by Victoria, and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:38:28She wants my help on a project.
00:38:31I can't shake 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.
00:39:08Thanks, man.
00:39:09What should I do without you?
00:39:22James, are you okay?
00:39:24You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:39:27Sorry 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,
00:40:09we're one.
00:40:11There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:40:13Hi, Jimmy.
00:40:24Victoria.
00:40:24Victoria.
00:40:26What an unexpected surprise.
00:40:28I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:40:30I'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, James.
00:40:44You wouldn't let a college flinch
00:40:46close your judgment after all these years.
00:40:50Right?
00:40:51Spare me the details.
00:40:52You 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.
00:41:07I was a child.
00:41:08I don't care about your reasons anymore,
00:41:12Victoria.
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.
00:41:21I don't ever want to meet you again
00:41:25outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:41:33James,
00:41:33I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:41:37I just want to be in your life.
00:41:44And...
00:41:44you are coming with us
00:41:46to check the new site for our project.
00:41:49It's required by our partnership
00:41:51and the new site for our clients.
00:41:58Mia,
00:41:59I've got a business trip coming up.
00:42:02It's a sudden opportunity,
00:42:04and I need to leave for a few days.
00:42:06Oh, really?
00:42:08That's unexpected.
00:42:10When do you leave?
00:42:11Tomorrow morning.
00:42:12I know.
00:42:13It's a short notice,
00:42:16but I'll be back before you know it.
00:42:18All right, James.
00:42:19Just be safe,
00:42:21and don't overwork yourself.
00:42:24I will.
00:42:25I'll miss you so much.
00:42:26James.
00:42:43I've had quite a bit.
00:42:47James.
00:42:50Is everything old right?
00:42:53It's just short.
00:42:56Mad eggs.
00:43:02You Full Glee.
00:43:04Come on.
00:43:06Everything's fine,
00:43:09just leave me.
00:43:11You've had enough tonight, James.
00:43:24Let me make sure you're comfortable.
00:43:28Doria, what are you doing?
00:43:32Don't you worry.
00:43:34We'll have a little chat.
00:43:36You're safe with me.
00:43:38What do you want?
00:43:42You, James.
00:43:44I want you.
00:43:47I want all of you.
00:43:49Your body, your love, and even your soul.
00:43:58Stop.
00:43:59I'm married.
00:44:02I don't mind.
00:44:03Or maybe this makes you want you more.
00:44:11You enjoy it, don't you?
00:44:14I know exactly how to please you.
00:44:17Yeah.
00:44:19I can do it, darling.
00:44:21Oh, come on, darling.
00:44:23We all know about your little contract.
00:44:28Besides, she would never find out.
00:44:34You know, this is what we're talking about, James.
00:44:37What the hell happened?
00:44:56I can't believe I let it get this far.
00:45:01Don't, baby.
00:45:03What's wrong?
00:45:03Victoria, this is a mistake.
00:45:07Did you set me up?
00:45:09Why are you laying next to me?
00:45:11Oh, you are 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.
00:45:20Let's say we had a stunning night and I saved some pictures for memories.
00:45:39Delete those pictures right now.
00:45:41Why don't you come here and make me?
00:45:47You're playing with fire.
00:45:49I won't be blackmailed or manipulated.
00:45:52Delete them.
00:45:53Now.
00:45:58You're just no fun, James.
00:46:06I want you to step away from my life.
00:46:08This can't happen again.
00:46:11We'll see about that.
00:46:12Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy.
00:46:27You can never run away from me.
00:46:33Oh, my God.
00:46:34James, you're home.
00:46:37I miss you too, babe.
00:46:38It's good to be home.
00:46:40Tell me everything about your trip.
00:46:41It was a normal business trip.
00:46:44Nothing special.
00:46:45Let's not talk about it.
00:46:47I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
00:46:50Okay, sure.
00:46:53I'm just so glad you're home.
00:46:54Hello?
00:47:15Hello?
00:47:15Hello, Mia.
00:47:18Who's this?
00:47:19I guess Jimmy didn't tell you about me.
00:47:23I'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?
00:47:42You 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.
00:47:52He would never like someone like you.
00:47:55Oh, please.
00:47:57He showed lots of love to me not long ago.
00:48:00He surely had no time to think of you.
00:48:03I sent you the pictures.
00:48:05Hope you enjoy them.
00:48:06It's impossible.
00:48:16He would never do this to me.
00:48:26Hey.
00:48:27What's wrong?
00:48:30Nothing.
00:48:33How was your day?
00:48:34Oh.
00:48:37It's Azir.
00:48:40Who is Victoria?
00:48:45Victoria?
00:48:46Where did you hear that name from?
00:48:49She called me James.
00:48:52She said things.
00:48:54Things I can't believe.
00:48:58You have to know you're the one, and the only one I love.
00:49:15Tell me the truth, James.
00:49:17Is she important to you?
00:49:20She's my ex from college, and also my current business partner.
00:49:37And what about this?
00:49:38Is this part of your business?
00:49:40Is this part of your business?
00:49:40We 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, and I don't want her to ruin us.
00:50:04Tell me the truth, James.
00:50:06What happened that night?
00:50:08I tried to stop her.
00:50:16I was too drunk and also confused.
00:50:23I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
00:50:27You put our relationship on edge.
00:50:29I'm so sorry.
00:50:32I'll do everything it takes to make this right.
00:50:36Please, don't give up on us.
00:50:43I need some space.
00:50:46Please, just...

00:58:04Hey, it's over now. You'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.
00:58:34Why? Why did you betray me?
00:58:39I never wanted to hurt you. I was over now and we lost control.
00:58:46I did not like to offend him, so I decided not to tell him that I'm so sorry.
00:58:53You should have trusted me, James. I'm the kind of woman you can fight with.
00:59:03Yeah.
00:59:05Mina!
00:59:22Are you okay? You scared the hell out of me.
00:59:26It'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.
00:59:54What? 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.
01:01:30Never been more excited about the future.
01:01:33Me 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.
01:01:55Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:01:58Oh my God. Are you trying to spoil me?
01:02:02Maybe I am. You deserve it.
01:02:05This looks amazing. I love the nuggets.
01:02:08I believe in us, James.
01:02:13We'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.
01:02:26I'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 you together.
01:02:39Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:02:49Our marriage started with a light to new quality.
01:02:53And...
01:02:55It was a business arrangement.
01:02:57But...
01:03:00Over time...
01:03:02We fell in love with each other.
01:03:04We want to make it real.
01:03:08And we'd like to have your blessing.
01:03:10For real this time.
01:03:12Well...
01:03:14Your marriage, contract or not, was...
01:03:18Has looked pretty real to me from the very beginning.
01:03:22And I'm glad you guys are brave enough to admit the mistakes.
01:03:27And go on with your real happy marriage life.
01:03:32Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:03:34I'll always be there for her.
01:03:36And we have a new member come into the family soon.
01:03:38I'll always be there for her.
01:03:41And we have a new member come into the family soon.
01:03:43Ha!
01:03:44I'll always be there for her...
01:03:45That's when I am going to the family soon.
01:03:46Ha!
