00:00:00We had boyfriends? Interesting.
00:00:11I can't believe we did that.
00:00:14Mia, will you marry me?
00:00:17Yes! Oh my god!
00:00:22I can sing to you.
00:00:24Perhaps this will happen to a member?
00:00:34I've got as much.
00:00:36It's me.
00:00:38Your beloved mother?
00:00:40She would never find out.
00:00:45Now that's what we're talking about, James.
00:00:54Anyone here?
00:01:10What do you want from me?
00:01:12What do you want from me?
00:01:25It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think?
00:01:34Please, put the gun down.
00:01:38You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:41Mia is the only one in love.
00:02:07You don't want to end up like this.
00:02:12Mack Allen.
00:02:13Neat.
00:02:14Okay.
00:02:17Marriage.
00:02:19Suffocating.
00:02:23Tell me about it.
00:02:27Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:02:32Family pressures, right?
00:02:33Want to talk?
00:02:43My family have been on my case for years.
00:02:46It's like they've already chosen my future spouse.
00:02:53My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:02:56My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:03:02I'm James.
00:03:04James Turner, by the way.
00:03:08I'm Mia.
00:03:09Pleasure to meet you.
00:03:14It's our endless battle.
00:03:20It's my new comrade.
00:03:26James, right?
00:03:40Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:42Mia.
00:03:43Must have a fade.
00:03:45Or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:50Scotch. Neat.
00:03:51Got it.
00:03:55How are things going on your end?
00:03:58My mom calls me every single day to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:04:06And what was your response?
00:04:11I said yes just to stop her calls, but I don't think there's anyone.
00:04:15You?
00:04:19My parents are obsessed with my kids.
00:04:22Even though I'll still see them.
00:04:24Splash please.
00:04:35Here, to our endless battle.
00:04:37Mia.
00:04:47I've been thinking.
00:04:49What if we help each other out here?
00:04:51What do you mean?
00:04:52Maybe we can be the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:05:02Quick boyfriend?
00:05:04Interesting.
00:05:06Only once.
00:05:07And we can be the plus one for each other.
00:05:08Maybe we can be the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:05:15Quick boyfriend?
00:05:17Interesting.
00:05:19Only once.
00:05:21And we can be free for a long time.
00:05:24It's not what I usually do, but...
00:05:28Maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:05:33These 90's just keep getting more interesting.
00:05:35Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:05:39Not yet.
00:05:40Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:42Okay, boyfriend.
00:05:45Why don't you introduce yourself more together?
00:05:48Well, I own a real estate company.
00:05:52We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:55You sure look like a boss.
00:05:57The scotch gives it away.
00:06:00Alright, enough about it.
00:06:02Tell me something about yourself.
00:06:03Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner.
00:06:09Not to show off, but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:06:15Wait.
00:06:17Are you Mia Davis?
00:06:19That Mia Davis?
00:06:21In the flesh, darling.
00:06:22I understand the emergence, but this is not how negotiation works.
00:06:34I need this to be done in three days.
00:06:37Our investors are not gonna wait for us.
00:06:40Anderson, I assure you, we are doing everything we can.
00:06:44I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:06:48We won't let you down.
00:06:49We'll let you down.
00:06:50We'll let you down.
00:06:54We'll let you down.
00:06:55Hey there.
00:07:23Mia.
00:07:25What a pleasant surprise.
00:07:27How did you have time to call me today?
00:07:29Is this a bad time?
00:07:31You sound like you've had a rough day.
00:07:34It was one of those days.
00:07:36Well, sounds like you could use a break.
00:07:40How about a drink to unwind later?
00:07:43Let me check.
00:07:47Yeah, I can really use that.
00:07:49I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:07:51Knowing my mom, she'll definitely want you to stay over.
00:08:05So we'll probably spend three days in one bedroom.
00:08:10After that, we'll be free to go back to our regular lives.
00:08:14Sounds like a plan.
00:08:25Here we go, James.
00:08:27Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:08:31Got it.
00:08:35Mom, I'm home.
00:08:41Mia!
00:08:44It's been so long.
00:08:46Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:08:50Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Davis.
00:08:52Mia's told me so much about it.
00:08:54Please, call me Maria.
00:08:57Call my name.
00:08:58Help yourself with some cookies.
00:09:00Before I finish dressing with turkey.
00:09:05So far, so good.
00:09:08Let's keep it up.
00:09:16You know, I'm actually enjoying this day.
00:09:20Me too.
00:09:21I feel like we're a real couple.
00:09:25So, you two, tell me how you met.
00:09:33Of course.
00:09:35It was a charming little buffet on the 3rd Avenue.
00:09:38You know, we're sitting alone, reading a chat with each other.
00:09:42You know, everybody's striking out the conversation.
00:09:45Oh, I'm so happy you guys who met each other.
00:09:54It's been too long for me to talk to someone so deeply.
00:09:58You know.
00:10:09Who is it?
00:10:09I keep going.
00:10:10You know, um...
00:10:11Be...
00:10:12Come on, Monsieur.
00:10:14What do we do?
00:10:18Uh...
00:10:18I don't really know.
00:10:19I don't really know.
00:10:20I
00:10:25What do we do?
00:10:27Uh, quick, come in here.
00:10:35Come in.
00:10:41Good morning, lovebirds.
00:10:43I can see you had a lovely night.
00:10:46Stop it, Mom, you're making it awkward.
00:10:49Look at you, all glowing.
00:10:55I'll do everything for my princess.
00:10:59Okay, um, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:11:05Okay, okay, just don't take too long.
00:11:08And shouldn't you get back to the city today?
00:11:21I have to say, it was quite a play in your house.
00:11:24It was perfect. They all bought it.
00:11:28Remember how your mom almost caught us in the bedroom.
00:11:32My heart was about to jump out when I heard that knock.
00:11:36But we made it.
00:11:38So, has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit?
00:11:46They just won't let the topic off you.
00:11:48Same here.
00:11:50But now, my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding.
00:11:54I'm gonna lose my mind.
00:11:56Let's just share the night we have right now.
00:12:02Well, we still can.
00:12:04You know, James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:12:22I feel the same.
00:12:24I know there's beauty in commitment, but shouldn't it be our own life choice to make?
00:12:32Exactly.
00:12:34I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends.
00:12:38Telling me to rush into a life?
00:12:42Raising kids in a house and giving up all of my freedoms?
00:12:48No, thank you.
00:12:54Wait.
00:12:56I have an idea.
00:12:58It might help both of us.
00:13:02I'm all ears.
00:13:05Thank King.
00:13:08What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:13:14Thank King.
00:13:16What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:13:22Please elaborate.
00:13:25What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:13:30A contract marriage?
00:13:32Yeah.
00:13:34Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life.
00:13:38We'll make a legal contract with...
00:13:40Maybe separate bedrooms?
00:13:42Financial terms and so on?
00:13:45Oh.
00:13:47No feelings should be included.
00:13:49This is huge.
00:13:51I need to think about it.
00:13:53I know.
00:13:54It's not something you deal with the person whom you just met.
00:14:00But think about this.
00:14:02The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:14:07So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:14:11It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:14:12It's just...
00:14:13Like I said...
00:14:14Love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:14:15They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:14:17Get it, Mia?
00:14:18I do.
00:14:19But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:14:20And we need to adapt to that.
00:14:21Our life won't change a bit.
00:14:22Just more freedom with this contract.
00:14:23But...
00:14:24What about the no emotions term?
00:14:25Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:14:26No.
00:14:27No.
00:14:28No.
00:14:29No.
00:14:30No.
00:14:31No.
00:14:32No.
00:14:33No.
00:14:34No.
00:14:35No.
00:14:36No.
00:14:37No.
00:14:38No.
00:14:39No.
00:14:40No.
00:14:41No.
00:14:42No.
00:14:43No.
00:14:44No.
00:14:45No.
00:14:46No.
00:14:47No.
00:14:48No.
00:14:49No.
00:14:50No.
00:14:51No.
00:14:52No.
00:14:53No.
00:14:54No.
00:14:55No.
00:14:56No.
00:14:57No.
00:14:58No.
00:14:59No.
00:15:00No.
00:15:01No.
00:15:02It's necessary.
00:15:03We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:15:05To me things difficult.
00:15:06And you do make a good point.
00:15:08I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:15:12But we need to set boundaries... conditions.
00:15:15to set boundaries, conditions, we'll stick with friendship, contractual
00:15:22partners. Agreed. I'll write the legal contract and we should both be clear
00:15:29about all the terms. Oh and one more thing James, we need to keep our personal
00:15:35lives separate from all of this. We both continue to pursue our goals, passions
00:15:42and relationships. Absolutely. Our contract won't affect any of our lives. We can make
00:15:50it done tomorrow. Follow our squad, we'll take care of everything. Deal.
00:15:58I can't believe we're actually doing this. Yeah, we've got that formula. Let's go through
00:16:19this country together. Okay. Separate bedrooms, the no feelings clause and it's clear financial
00:16:39terms. Yep. We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:17:09So, what's next? We'll tell our parents and make it official. I'll propose to you in your
00:17:26apartment and send pictures to our families. Oh, it's a lot to get done just to prove we're
00:17:34getting married. Yes, them will plan a wedding so everyone will buy it. It's all part of the
00:17:41plan. I really want to get this out of my head. Can we just get it over with so we can move
00:17:48on with our lives? Did you turn the camera on? Yeah, it's working. Mia, there is something I'm
00:18:11wanting to ask you tonight. Yes? Mia, will you marry me? Oh my God, James. Yes. Oh my God.
00:18:41I can't believe we just did that. It's all part of that.
00:19:11This is our first big show on the stage. We have to make sure that we look like a happy
00:19:20couple in front of everyone.
00:19:23Of course. Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:19:30Another successful play.
00:19:53It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:20:01I know, but we have to stay firm. Focus on the bigger picture. Neither of us want a real
00:20:12marriage right now. And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:20:18Let's get some rest. Good night.
00:20:25Good night.
00:20:43Mia, are you okay?
00:20:46Please, open up. Talk to me.
00:20:55I can't do this, James. At the wedding, I saw everyone's faces. They were so happy and blessed
00:21:05us with their whole hearts. I feel like I betrayed every one of them.
00:21:11But we are already here. There is no way of going back.
00:21:20I saw their faces. They believed in us. It was all a huge lie. I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:21:32It's not easy for me either. But we have to hang in there. We can't let them down right now.
00:21:41I just wish it didn't have to be like this. I wish that too, Mia. But I promise we can't get through it. I promise.
00:21:50I promise.
00:21:59I promise.
00:22:00I promise.
00:22:01I promise.
00:22:02I promise.
00:22:03I promise.
00:22:04I promise.
00:22:05I promise.
00:22:06I promise.
00:22:07I promise.
00:22:08I promise.
00:22:11I promise.
00:22:17I promise.
00:22:27James, I have something that I want to say.
00:22:43Mia, we agreed. No feelings.
00:22:53I know, but...
00:23:05Compliments of a friend.
00:23:10Please, enjoy your evening.
00:23:22James, what's this?
00:23:35He looks good?
00:23:45It looks good so good.
00:23:55James?
00:24:25Where are you?
00:24:28Right here Mia.
00:24:30Is there any candle?
00:24:38James?
00:24:45So, any clue on that note?
00:24:50Sorry.
00:24:57Hello?
00:24:59I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you, a gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:25:15Someone knows our secret.
00:25:25What should we do?
00:25:28You know, I've been thinking about the date we met.
00:25:43It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:25:44I know.
00:25:45And I'm glad that I met you.
00:25:46You're such a special woman.
00:25:47And I've never met anyone like you.
00:25:50I know.
00:25:51And I'm glad that I met you.
00:25:52You too.
00:25:53I'm glad that I met you.
00:25:54You're such a special woman.
00:25:55And I've never met anyone like you.
00:25:59You too.
00:26:00I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:26:06Even though it was a dramatic fake wedding.
00:26:09I know.
00:26:10I know.
00:26:11I know.
00:26:12I know.
00:26:13And I'm glad that I met you.
00:26:14You're such a special woman.
00:26:15And I've never met anyone like you.
00:26:18You too. I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:26:32Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:26:39It's not a fairy tale. It's a bloody reality. But I still like it. It's our story.
00:27:09What's happening?
00:27:27We're stuck. What do we do? I need to be there on time.
00:27:33Let's call the building. They should come and fix this.
00:27:48There's no signal. We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:27:54We won't. Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:28:00You just need to be patient.
00:28:08What's that for?
00:28:10Just to give us some strength. Friends can help too.
00:28:14Okay.
00:28:15I can't believe this is happening.
00:28:29Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:28:34You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:28:45James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:28:50They'd be so disappointed.
00:28:53We're doing everything we can. So far, we did good. Everyone is happy.
00:29:00I just think about how far we've come. Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:29:15It's like an endless spy game.
00:29:21I know. But we're in this together.
00:29:25We chose this to take control of our life.
00:29:29And now we are tied together by fate.
00:29:32We are one.
00:29:33I suddenly feel so relieved. Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:29:47I know. I always rush to my friends after a bad day. And here I am with a dearest friend.
00:29:53And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom, now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:30:03Mine too. My mom called the other day. But when she saw you walk up from the bath, she hung up as soon as she could.
00:30:11But of course, she made fun of us.
00:30:14Or maybe next time I can show up even sexier and then she can make fun of you some more.
00:30:22I'm sexy now, okay.
00:30:37Maybe we should talk about what just happened? The moment was...
00:30:44I enjoyed it. There's something I never thought I would say.
00:30:47But it's not what we expected. I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:30:55Mia, I have to tell you. I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:31:00I care about you more than I should. I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:31:10I'm in love with you.
00:31:12I'm in love with you.
00:31:20I actually feel the exact same way.
00:31:25I can't stop thinking about you all the time. Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection, I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:31:39Let's tell everyone the truth. I'm sure they will understand. Maybe mad at first, but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:31:49Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:31:52I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right. It should be our priority right now.
00:31:57James, our parents aside, I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar. Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:32:23Mia, I have no idea. But I hired an investigator. Hope she can bring me some valuable information. I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:32:43We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess. This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight.
00:32:50bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:32:55I chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:33:06And yet, I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:33:09We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:33:14We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage.
00:33:18And we'll for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:33:21the other one to know us.
00:33:26inos.
00:33:28Who's there?
00:33:58Anyone here?
00:34:10What do you want from me?
00:34:21You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:34:24Where am I?
00:34:25What did I do?
00:34:29I assure you there's a misunderstanding.
00:34:33Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:34:37Don't worry, you will know what we want soon enough.
00:34:40I just need you to behave right now.
00:34:42We can talk things out.
00:34:45You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:34:48I will cooperate.
00:34:50If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:34:55Just let me go.
00:34:57Hello?
00:34:58Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:35:02Hello?
00:35:02Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:35:04Maya's life depends on you.
00:35:29Maya, don't bother.
00:35:30You won't recognize who I am.
00:35:33What matters is, Maya.
00:35:35You have 24 hours to prepare $5 million if you want to see her alive.
00:35:41Who are you and what do you want?
00:35:43That is not a question for me to answer.
00:35:46Just do as I said.
00:35:47I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:35:52That's not my concern.
00:35:54Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:35:58I need to be sure she's okay.
00:36:00Let me talk to her.
00:36:02That won't be happening.
00:36:04I swear, if you dare to touch her, I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:36:17I don't know what to do, Scott.
00:36:21They're asking for $5 million in 24 hours.
00:36:24I can't lose her.
00:36:26Well, figure it out, James.
00:36:29I'll do everything I can.
00:36:31I can't lose Maya.
00:36:36I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:36:41We found each other the one.
00:36:43We have been looking for our whole life.
00:36:46Oh, no.
00:36:47This was not meant to happen.
00:36:50I have to find her.
00:36:52I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:36:55We will.
00:36:56But who will commit such a horrible crime?
00:37:00Anyone ring the bell?
00:37:03Maya wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:37:05I can assure you, this has something to do with that blackmail we received.
00:37:11Blackmail?
00:37:14Someone has been stalking us.
00:37:16They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:37:19Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:37:22Mark, please, I need your help.
00:37:30Mia's life is in danger.
00:37:31I wish I could, James.
00:37:35$5 million is a lot.
00:37:37I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:37:42Save it, Mark.
00:37:43When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help.
00:37:47You're a fucking nuisance.
00:37:49I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:37:51I might be able to cash this out.
00:38:11Thank you for calling CPM Bank.
00:38:21Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:38:26I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:38:28I want to cash it out immediately.
00:38:31I understand the urgency.
00:38:34Please give us a moment.
00:38:35Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:38:46It's for an urgent matter.
00:38:49Sure.
00:38:50Since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:38:55I will be there in 20 minutes.
00:38:56Please get the cash ready by then.
00:38:59Yes, sir.
00:39:00I'll know you.
00:39:01Great.
00:39:01Is it ready?
00:39:20Yes.
00:39:21Give me the location.
00:39:23Boom.
00:39:31I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:39:44Do anything to keep you safe.
00:39:46We're in this together.
00:39:52I thought I'd never see you again.
00:39:55I swear to you.
00:39:58We'll protect you with memory.
00:39:59I want to give you both an update.
00:40:16We are investigating the lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:40:20Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers
00:40:25and bringing them to justice.
00:40:26Thank you, Detective.
00:40:31We appreciate your effort.
00:40:39I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:40:46It's not your fault.
00:40:48We'll get through this.
00:40:51You.
00:40:51I'm so, so happy.
00:41:16It's been a while since we had a piss moon like this.
00:41:19Yeah, it's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:41:38Mia, you won't believe this!
00:41:42What is it?
00:41:45A company chose us to partner on a luxury project. They love my pitch!
00:41:52Oh my god, James, that's amazing!
00:41:56I'm gonna call my employees to announce this news.
00:42:01And an after party later?
00:42:05You know me too well.
00:42:09Will you pick me up later for a little celebration?
00:42:13Absolutely! I'll meet you at home after work!
00:42:17Yes, I needed to gather the people online for a meeting. We got that project and we need to present it to you.
00:42:24to the client this afternoon.
00:42:31Wow, this is fantastic! I will gather them.
00:42:36Wow, this is fantastic! I will gather them.
00:42:43Thank you all for your time. I'm eager to bring my team together and gather the people online for a meeting.
00:42:50We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:42:53Thank you all for your time. I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:43:15Before I finish, I'm just curious. Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:43:24Our president insisted you were the perfect fit. She said you're an old friend.
00:43:30An old friend? I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:43:36You'll find out soon enough, James. For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:43:45I'm getting the job done.
00:44:15What's wrong, James?
00:44:30What could that be?
00:44:34I don't know.
00:44:37But we are going to find out soon.
00:44:45Samantha, have you found anything?
00:44:53I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:44:55Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:44:58James, we've made some significant progress.
00:45:02I think we are closed to uncovering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:45:09I'm only yours.
00:45:10Details, please.
00:45:12We managed to trace the source of the blackmail.
00:45:15At times, we found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:45:20Richard Kingsley?
00:45:22Never heard that name.
00:45:23And why would he do this?
00:45:25We're still walking on that part.
00:45:28We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:45:32Thank you, Samantha.
00:45:34Keep me posted on any updates.
00:45:35I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:45:39Of course, we are so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:45:43I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:46:03I tried to call you many times and you didn't answer.
00:46:07I thought something happened to you.
00:46:09I'm so sorry.
00:46:12I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:46:15Everything's okay.
00:46:16I'm just glad you're okay.
00:46:19I'm safe and sound.
00:46:21Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:46:26Samantha, the private detective I heard, is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:46:31I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:46:43You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:46:50Contract or not.
00:46:52I feel the same way, Mia.
00:46:53I won't ever want to lose you.
00:46:56I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:47:02It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:47:11It's wonderful.
00:47:13You're really talented.
00:47:15Thank you so much for your support.
00:47:18It means the world to me.
00:47:26James, I trust you are well.
00:47:41I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:47:49Sure.
00:47:50Where should we meet?
00:47:51I can rearrange some work to make it.
00:47:57That's great.
00:47:59Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:48:04I'll be at your office at 3 p.m. and we can go over all the details.
00:48:10Thank you for your recognition.
00:48:11I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:48:21Hi, I'm just going to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:48:42My apologies, James.
00:48:46I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events.
00:48:52But our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:48:56Wow.
00:48:57I was not aware of that.
00:49:00Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:49:02It's a great opportunity.
00:49:05She surely is very excited about this.
00:49:07We'll see you next time.
00:49:37I'll see you next time.
00:50:07I'll see you next time.
00:50:09I'm fed as much, it's me, your beloved Mabelle.
00:50:24Mabelle?
00:50:26Mabelle.
00:50:39You know, Mabelle, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:50:55I know, babe.
00:50:57I can't believe you're graduating.
00:51:00I'm day flying.
00:51:02Life after college, it's a bit scary, but I'm so excited.
00:51:08I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:51:13I'm sure nothing can stop you from your goal.
00:51:22I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:51:26Yeah, I know.
00:51:29Did you lock the door?
00:51:31Of course I did.
00:51:34I hope you won't change after you leave.
00:51:38I won't.
00:51:55Mabelle?
00:51:57James, I can't explain.
00:52:00I'm so sorry I have to find out like this, but Mabelle and I have been together for a while now.
00:52:06Mabelle?
00:52:07What are you doing here?
00:52:08It's Victorian.
00:52:09And for business, of course, darling.
00:52:13What are you playing here?
00:52:14What's up with all the charade?
00:52:15Let's say I don't know if I'm the best to learn anything about my business and everything.
00:52:16What are you playing here?
00:52:18What's up with all the charade?
00:52:19Mabel? What are you doing here?
00:52:24It's Victoria. And for business, of course, darling.
00:52:33What are you playing here? What's up with all the charade?
00:52:40Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:52:46You know, for the old time's sake.
00:52:51For the old time's sake? He cheated on me with my best friend. What do you want?
00:52:58People change, James. And I just can't let you out my mind.
00:53:07How did you become the president of this company? What are you hiding?
00:53:12A woman like me can get whatever I want with just a little trick.
00:53:19See? 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.
00:53:33No, Victoria. I won't let you manipulate. Not again.
00:53:40You have always been a challenge, James.
00:53:52This 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.
00:54:01James, don't be so harsh. If you want a business, we'll talk about business.
00:54:10Let's get professional.
00:54:13James, 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.
00:54:25Really?
00:54:27Oh, please. Put our history behind, will you? I pay responsibility to my company too, okay? I didn't take this job for fun.
00:54:41Fine. Let's be clear. I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:54:49I agree, James. I will keep it strictly professional.
00:55:19Scott, you won't believe what just happened.
00:55:26What's the matter?
00:55:38Wait, Mabel? Your ex-girlfriend from college? You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:55:45That's the one. She's now going by Victoria and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:55:52She wants my help on a project. I can't shake feeling that there's more to it.
00:56:00I think we have to wait for her more.
00:56:04I need to find out what's really going on. But I can't do it alone. Will you help me, Scott?
00:56:09Of course. Happy to help. She wants you involved in a realistic project. But it's more than just business. I'm sure of it.
00:56:19I have the same feeling. Nothing is ever pure about her. I don't want Ria to worry about this.
00:56:25She's working on an important artwork. And I promise I'll protect her.
00:56:30Of course. I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:56:37Thanks, man. What should I do without you?
00:56:40James, are you okay? You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:56:56Sorry to make your work, babe. Just stuff at work, you know.
00:57:03Alright. It's just that we've been through a lot together. You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:57:11If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:57:17Babe, it shouldn't worry you. I can handle it myself. Trust me.
00:57:23Okay. Just remember, I'm always here for you. If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm here.
00:57:37Thank you, Mia. You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to me.
00:57:43James, we're one. There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:57:56Hi, Jimmy.
00:58:01Victoria.
00:58:03What an unexpected surprise. I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:58:08I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:58:15I've moved on with my life. I have Mia, and she means everything to me.
00:58:21Oh, please, James. You wouldn't let a college flinch cloud your judgement after all these years. Right?
00:58:30Spare me the details. You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:58:36What did you expect me to do, James?
00:58:40You were leaving college, and I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:58:46I need someone to back me up. I was a child.
00:58:49I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria. I got over you a long time ago.
00:58:59So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:59:03Come back here, dummy.
00:59:06I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:59:11James, I never said I wanted to be your wife. I just wanted to be in your life.
00:59:25And...
00:59:28You are calm with us to check the new site for our project.
00:59:35It's required by our partnership contracts.
00:59:46Mia, I've got a business trip coming up.
00:59:49It's a sudden opportunity, and I need to leave for a few days.
00:59:55Oh, really? That's unexpected. When do you leave?
01:00:00Tomorrow morning.
01:00:02I know, it's short notice, but I'll be back before you know it.
01:00:07Alright, James. Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
01:00:14I will. I'll miss you so much.
01:00:16James.
01:00:22You've had quite a bit.
01:00:27Is everything all right?
01:00:31No.
01:00:33No.
01:00:35No.
01:00:37No.
01:00:39No.
01:00:41No.
01:00:43No.
01:00:44No.
01:00:45No.
01:00:46No.
01:00:47No.
01:00:49No.
01:00:50No.
01:00:52No.
01:00:54No.
01:00:56No.
01:00:58No.
01:00:59No, no, no, no.
01:01:01No new.
01:01:04No, no...
01:01:05That's fine, just.
01:01:07Leave me.
01:01:10Map, up...
01:01:11You've had enough tonight, James.
01:01:21Let me make sure you're comfortable.
01:01:25Doria, what are you doing?
01:01:30Don't you worry.
01:01:32We'll have a little chat.
01:01:35You're safe with me.
01:01:38What do you want?
01:01:41You, James.
01:01:44I want you.
01:01:46I want all of you.
01:01:49Your body, your love, and even your soul.
01:01:59Stop.
01:02:00I'm married.
01:02:03I don't mind.
01:02:06Or maybe this makes you want even more.
01:02:09You enjoy it, don't you?
01:02:17I know exactly how to please you.
01:02:21Yeah.
01:02:22I can do it to her.
01:02:24Oh, come on.
01:02:25No.
01:02:26Darling.
01:02:26James, we all know about you and your contract.
01:02:32Besides, she would never find out.
01:02:39Enough of this is what we're talking about, James.
01:02:42What the hell happened?
01:02:56I can't believe I'll let it get this far.
01:03:06Victoria.
01:03:09Don, baby.
01:03:11What's wrong?
01:03:13Victoria, this is a mistake.
01:03:16Did you set me up?
01:03:17Where are you laying next to me?
01:03:20Oh, you are just so energetic.
01:03:23Stop the games. I'm serious. I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do.
01:03:38Let's say we have a stunning night and I save some pictures for memories.
01:03:45Delete those pictures right now.
01:03:56Why don't you come here and make me?
01:04:00You're playing with fire. I won't be blackmailed or manipulated. Delete them now.
01:04:06You're just no fun, James.
01:04:20I want you to step away from my life. This can't happen again.
01:04:26We'll see about that.
01:04:36Oh, Jamie, Jamie. You can never run away from me.
01:04:51Oh my god, James, you're home!
01:04:55I miss you too, babe. It's good to be home.
01:04:58Tell me everything about your trip.
01:05:01It was a normal business trip. Nothing special.
01:05:04Let's not talk about it. I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
01:05:10Okay, sure.
01:05:13I'm just so glad you're home.
01:05:15Tell me the truth, James.
01:05:32Is she important to you?
01:05:35She's my ex from college and also my current business partner.
01:05:53And what about this? Is this part of your business?
01:05:56Is this part of your business?
01:06:05We...
01:06:08We had a businessman.
01:06:10She set me up.
01:06:13I made a mistake.
01:06:16But it's not how it looks like.
01:06:17I love you.
01:06:18And I don't want her to ruin us.
01:06:23Tell me the truth, James.
01:06:26What happened that night?
01:06:28Yeah.
01:06:30I tried to stop her.
01:06:31I was...
01:06:33Too drunk and also confused.
01:06:34I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
01:06:49You put our relationship on edge.
01:06:53I'm so sorry.
01:06:55I'll...
01:06:57I'll do everything it takes to make this right.
01:07:00Please, don't give up on us.
01:07:08I need some space.
01:07:10Please, just...
01:07:14Leave me alone.
01:07:22We've got a picnic, you can see her.
01:07:24But...
01:07:27Maybe you did that.
01:07:29The woman's living in the house.
01:07:30We've got lucky somewhere.
01:07:31Let's try something.
01:07:32Here we go.
01:07:34Thanks for asking.
01:07:36Samantha, you found anything?
01:07:37Yes, I got a list.
01:07:39It's been a challenging investigation.
01:07:41But I've uncovered some crucial information list on Richard Kingsley.
01:07:47I'm listening.
01:07:49He went to the same college with Mia.
01:07:52And he developed an obsession over her everything.
01:07:57He's been stalking your life, collecting information, and attempting to get her.
01:08:04This is insane. How did he get so close to us?
01:08:08He used virus illnesses and keep a low profile, which made it challenging to track him.
01:08:15But we've identified his patterns and his current location.
01:08:20I'd advise involving the authorities and getting a restraining order against him.
01:08:26Thank you, Samantha. I appreciate your dedication.
01:08:29You and me deserve peace, James.
01:08:32I will continue to monitor the situation, but please take legal action to protect yourself.
01:08:41I'll take care of her, and it's time for me to take control.
01:08:50It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think?
01:09:07Who sent you after us?
01:09:10Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan.
01:09:13If you don't tell the truth, I will call the cops on you.
01:09:16Fine. Fine. It was Victoria.
01:09:22Victoria.
01:09:23How did she convince you to do this?
01:09:29She told me about your contract marriage.
01:09:33She told me you don't even care about Mia.
01:09:36She promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back.
01:09:41You were manipulated, Richard.
01:09:47You're such a clown.
01:09:58James.
01:09:59I've been seeing you.
01:10:04I thought someone never would see me again, huh?
01:10:08Missed me already?
01:10:09Victoria, I want answers.
01:10:15Why did you hire Richard to stalk us?
01:10:20Richard?
01:10:23Never heard any Richard in my life.
01:10:26I know it was you.
01:10:28He told me everything.
01:10:29Okay.
01:10:33It was me.
01:10:37But I did it for us.
01:10:41For us?
01:10:43I don't know there isn't us.
01:10:45I've always loved you, Jimmy.
01:10:55I just want to be back together with you.
01:10:57Here is a plan.
01:11:07We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
01:11:14We are professionals.
01:11:18We know how to cover our tracks.
01:11:22Good.
01:11:24And remember, I want her unharmed.
01:11:30This is just to make James realized he belongs to me.
01:11:35We understand.
01:11:39You get which one.
01:11:41We understand.
01:11:42You get which one.
01:11:43We understand.
01:11:44You get which one.
01:11:45What?
01:11:58What?
01:12:04Hello?
01:12:09Who's there?
01:12:10My, my, Mia, what a tangled web we're with.
01:12:27It's me, Victoria.
01:12:30What do you want?
01:12:33I warned you to walk away, but you just wouldn't listen.
01:12:38So I decided to teach you a little lesson.
01:12:43See? You cried.
01:12:47You would never be good enough for James.
01:12:51He'll never get away with this.
01:12:53James wants nothing to do with you.
01:12:57We'll see about that.
01:13:00You can't control other people's feelings.
01:13:05You're such a bunny.
01:13:09Baby Jamie wanted to have a bet.
01:13:11Why else he would choose you over me?
01:13:14What we have is real.
01:13:17And you need to face the truth.
01:13:21Listen to me carefully, Bunny.
01:13:24If you truly care for James, you'll stay away from me.
01:13:28It's not a negotiation. It's a demand.
01:13:32James and I are married.
01:13:34And there's nothing you can do about it.
01:13:40Don't be too confident.
01:13:43Just yet.
01:13:51Mia!
01:13:52Hi, Jimmy.
01:13:55What's the hurry?
01:13:58You came as soon as you got the message, huh?
01:14:02I only send you the message to see how much you would sacrifice for Mia.
01:14:07Mia!
01:14:09Let her go.
01:14:10You want me?
01:14:11I'm here.
01:14:12You've got one minute, James.
01:14:17Your precious contract wife with the woman who's loved you all alone.
01:14:27Victoria.
01:14:30Why are you doing this?
01:14:33You're risking your own life.
01:14:36You just never believed that I truly loved you, right?
01:14:39I...
01:14:41I won't even have a life after tonight.
01:14:44But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:14:54Please.
01:14:56Put the gun down.
01:14:58You don't want to end up like this.
01:15:01Mia is the only one in love.
01:15:09It's over now.
01:15:10You're safe.
01:15:12I was so scared, James.
01:15:15I thought I'd never see you again.
01:15:18I know.
01:15:20I was scared too.
01:15:22But here we are.
01:15:23And I'll always protect you.
01:15:24You mean the world to me.
01:15:25I love you, James.
01:15:26I love you, too.
01:15:27I love you.
01:15:28Why?
01:15:29Why?
01:15:30Why?
01:15:31Why?
01:15:32Why?
01:15:33Why?
01:15:34Why?
01:15:35Why?
01:15:36Why?
01:15:37Why?
01:15:38Why?
01:15:39Why?
01:15:40Why?
01:15:41Why?
01:15:43Why?
01:15:44Why?
01:15:45Why?
01:15:46Why?
01:15:47Why?
01:15:48Why?
01:15:49Why?
01:15:50Why?
01:15:51Why?
01:15:52Why?
01:15:53Why?
01:15:54Why did you betray me?
01:15:56Mom.
01:15:58I know.
01:15:59I never wanted to hurt you.
01:16:00I was scared of you.
01:16:02I didn't know how to defend her.
01:16:03I didn't know how to defend her, so...
01:16:07I decided not to tell her, and I'm so sorry.
01:16:11You should have trusted me, James.
01:16:12You should have trusted me, James.
01:16:16I'm the kind of woman you can fight with.
01:16:23Yeah.
01:16:25Yeah.
01:16:42Are you okay?
01:16:46You scared the hell out of me.
01:16:50It's okay.
01:16:52I feel better now.
01:16:54I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:16:58I guess tonight's events took a lot out of me.
01:17:04I'm so sorry for everything that has happened.
01:17:10I love you.
01:17:13And I guess carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:17:23What?
01:17:25What did you just say?
01:17:28Well, I've been having some fainting incidents recently,
01:17:34so I went to the hospital by myself and it looks like in eight months you're going to become a dad.
01:17:49What?
01:17:52You are pregnant?
01:17:55Oh my God!
01:17:58I can't believe.
01:18:00I had no idea.
01:18:02You should have told me earlier.
01:18:04I can't believe we are becoming parents.
01:18:07This is the most exciting moment in my life.
01:18:10I knew you would be happy.
01:18:14James, with the baby coming and the incidents behind us,
01:18:20I think it's time we come clean to our parents.
01:18:25They deserve to know the truth.
01:18:27And we have to tell them they have a grandchild on the way.
01:18:32You're right, Mia.
01:18:34It's time to be honest with you.
01:18:43I'm so happy.
01:18:45You know, Mia, I was thinking I want a girl.
01:18:49She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:18:52Oh, really?
01:18:53I'm imagining a boy with your intelligence and my sense of beauty.
01:19:01But as long as the little one is healthy, I'm satisfied.
01:19:06I've never been more excited about the future.
01:19:09Me too, James.
01:19:11This journey, our journey, it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:19:18Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:19:20And maybe, just maybe, we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:19:33Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:19:36Oh, my God.
01:19:39Are you trying to spoil me?
01:19:41Maybe I am.
01:19:42You deserve it.
01:19:43This looks amazing.
01:19:46I love the nuggets.
01:19:50I believe in us, James.
01:19:53We've gone through a lot of challenges and come out even stronger.
01:20:00Tonight is the last step for us to become a real couple.
01:20:05I'm lucky to have you here by my side, Ma.
01:20:10It doesn't matter how angry they get upon hearing the news.
01:20:15We'll face it together.
01:20:19Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:20:34Our marriage started with a lie to you already.
01:20:38And it was a business arrangement, but over time, we fell in love with each other.
01:20:51We want to make it real.
01:20:53And we'd like to have your blessing for real this time.
01:20:59Well, your marriage, contract or not, has looked pretty real to me from the very beginning.
01:21:11And I'm glad you guys are brave enough to admit the mistakes and go on with your real happy marriage life.
01:21:21And there's love.
01:21:24Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:21:29I'll always be there for her.
01:21:32I'll be having a new member come into the family soon.
01:21:35Bye.
01:21:36Bye.
01:21:37Bye.
01:21:38Bye.
