00:00:00We had boyfriends? Interesting.
00:00:11I just 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 won't happen to a minute.
00:00:34I've thought as much.
00:00:36It's me.
00:00:38I would be laughing at that.
00:00:40She would never find out.
00:00:45Now this is 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, 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.
00:02:07I don't want to end up like this.
00:02:12Mack Allen.
00:02:13Neat.
00:02:14Okay.
00:02:17Marriage.
00:02:18Suffocating.
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 have already chosen my future spouse.
00:02:53My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:02:56I'm James.
00:02:57James Therner, by the way.
00:02:59I'm Mia.
00:03:00Pleasure to meet you.
00:03:02It's our endless battle.
00:03:04It's my new comrade.
00:03:07new york.
00:03:09My death.
00:03:10Yeah.
00:03:11You're hurt.
00:03:13It's my normal life.
00:03:15Uh, well I just say,
00:03:16you're hurting.
00:03:17It's my new comrade.
00:03:18Oh my God.
00:03:19What's your name?
00:03:20Yeah, you're hurting my whole family.
00:03:21Oh my God.
00:03:22I'm Mia.
00:03:23Pleasure to meet you.
00:03:25For endless battle.
00:03:26To my new comrade.
00:03:32James, right?
00:03:39Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:41Mia, must be Faith.
00:03:44Uh, or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:50Scotch, neat.
00:03:51Got it.
00:03:54How are things going on your end?
00:03:56My mom calls me every single day
00:04:02to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:04:06And what was your response?
00:04:09Um, I said yes just to stop her calls,
00:04:13but I don't think there's anyone.
00:04:16You?
00:04:18My parents are obsessed with my kids,
00:04:21even though I'm still single.
00:04:24Scotch, please.
00:04:26Here, to our endless battle.
00:04:46Mia, I've been thinking,
00:04:48why don't we help each other out here?
00:04:56What do you mean?
00:05:08Maybe we can be the plus one for each other,
00:05:11so our families will stop pushing us.
00:05:15Fake boyfriends?
00:05:17Interesting.
00:05:18Only once.
00:05:21We can be free for a long time.
00:05:25It's not what I usually do,
00:05:27but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:05:32This night is just getting more interesting.
00:05:35Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:05:39Not yet.
00:05:40Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:41Hey, boyfriends.
00:05:45Why don't you introduce yourself more to you?
00:05:48Well, I own a real estate company.
00:05:51We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:54You sure look like a boss.
00:05:57The scotch gives it away.
00:05:59All right, enough about it.
00:06:01Tell me something about yourself.
00:06:03Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner.
00:06:08Not to show off,
00:06:10but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:06:15Wait, are you Mia Davis?
00:06:18That Mia Davis?
00:06:20In the flesh, darling.
00:06:22I understand the emergence,
00:06:31but this is not how negotiation works.
00:06:34I need this to be done in three days.
00:06:36Our investors are not going to wait for us.
00:06:39Anderson,
00:06:40I assure you,
00:06:42we are doing everything we can.
00:06:45I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:06:47We won't let you down.
00:06:52We won't let you down.
00:07:22Hey there.
00:07:23Mia,
00:07:24what a pleasant surprise.
00:07:26How 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,
00:07:37sounds like you could use a break.
00:07:40How about a drink to unwind later?
00:07:43Let me check.
00:07:47Yeah,
00:07:48I can really use that.
00:07:49I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:07:52Knowing my mom,
00:08:02she'll definitely want you to stay over.
00:08:05So,
00:08:05we'll probably spend
00:08:07three days in one bedroom.
00:08:10After that,
00:08:11we'll be free to go back to our regular lives.
00:08:13Sounds like a plan.
00:08:14Here we go,
00:08:26James.
00:08:27Remember,
00:08:28we're a couple
00:08:29deeply in love.
00:08:31Got it.
00:08:38Mom,
00:08:39I'm home.
00:08:40Mia!
00:08:44It's been so long.
00:08:46Mom,
00:08:47this is James,
00:08:49my boyfriend.
00:08:50Pleasure to meet you,
00:08:51Mrs. Davis.
00:08:51Mia told you so much you've broken.
00:08:54Please,
00:08:54call me Maria.
00:08:57Common name.
00:08:58Help yourself with some cookies.
00:09:00Before I finish dressing with turkey.
00:09:02So far,
00:09:07so good.
00:09:08Let's keep it up.
00:09:15You know,
00:09:17I'm actually enjoying this day.
00:09:20Me too.
00:09:21I feel like
00:09:23we're a real couple.
00:09:25Yeah.
00:09:25So,
00:09:27you two,
00:09:29tell me how you met.
00:09:32Of course.
00:09:35It was a charming little buffet
00:09:36on the third avenue.
00:09:38You know,
00:09:38we're sitting alone,
00:09:39reading the
00:09:40chucking,
00:09:41which you did it.
00:09:42And everybody's
00:09:43striking up a conversation.
00:09:46Oh,
00:09:47how I met you.
00:09:49I'm so happy you guys
00:09:51who met each other.
00:09:53It's been too long
00:09:55for me,
00:09:56that's a good song.
00:09:57It's so easy.
00:09:58You're a mom's here.
00:10:26What do we do?
00:10:28Quick, come in here.
00:10:36Come 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.
00:10:50Look at you, all glowing.
00:10:57I'll do everything for my princess.
00:10:59Okay, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:11:05Okay, okay. Just don't take too long. And she'll let you get back to the city today.
00:11:13I have to say it was quite a play in your house.
00:11:23It was perfect. They all bought it.
00:11:27Remember how your mom almost got us in the bedroom.
00:11:31My heart was about to jump out when I heard that knock. But we made it.
00:11:39So, has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit?
00:11:45They just won't let the topic off you.
00:11:49Same here. But now, my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding.
00:11:53I'm gonna lose my mind.
00:11:55Let's just share the night we have right now.
00:12:03While we still can.
00:12:05You know, James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:12:23I feel the same.
00:12:25I know there's beauty in commitment, but...
00:12:29Shouldn't it be our own life choice to make?
00:12:33Exactly.
00:12:35I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends.
00:12:39Telling me to rush into a life?
00:12:43Raising 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.
00:13:06What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:13:16What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:13:22Please elaborate.
00:13:24What 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?
00:13:44Financial terms and so on?
00:13:46Oh.
00:13:48No feelings should be included.
00:13:50This is huge.
00:13:52I need to think about it.
00:13:56I know.
00:13:58It's not something to deal with the person whom you just met.
00:14:02But think about this.
00:14:04The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:14:08So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:14:12It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:14:16It's just, like I said, love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:14:24They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:14:30Get it, Mia.
00:14:32I do.
00:14:34But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:14:36And we need to adapt to that.
00:14:38Our life won't change a bit.
00:14:40Just more freedom with this contract.
00:14:42But what about the no emotions term?
00:14:48Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:14:52It's necessary.
00:14:54We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:14:58It won't make things difficult.
00:15:04You do make a good point.
00:15:06I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:15:10But we need to set boundaries. Conditions.
00:15:18We'll stick with friendship. Contractual partners.
00:15:22Agreed, Mia.
00:15:24I'll write the legal contract.
00:15:26And we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:15:30Oh, and one more thing, James.
00:15:32We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this.
00:15:36We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:15:42Absolutely.
00:15:44Our contract won't affect Daniel for our lives.
00:15:48We can make it done tomorrow.
00:15:50While our script will take care of everything.
00:15:52Deal.
00:15:54Deal.
00:16:08I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:16:12Yeah, we've got that formula.
00:16:16Let's go through this country together.
00:16:20Okay.
00:16:22Separate bedrooms.
00:16:26The no feelings clause.
00:16:30And it's clear financial terms.
00:16:40Yep.
00:16:42We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:16:46From now on.
00:17:14I just can't believe we did that.
00:17:18So, what's next?
00:17:21We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:17:24I'll propose to you in your apartment and send pictures to our families.
00:17:30Oh, it's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:17:35Yes, then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it.
00:17:40It's all part of the plan.
00:17:42I really want to get this out of my head.
00:17:45Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:17:59Did you turn the camera on?
00:18:02Yeah, it's working.
00:18:05Mia, there is something I wanted to ask you tonight.
00:18:12Yes?
00:18:17Mia, will you marry me?
00:18:20Oh my God, James! Yes!
00:18:28Oh my God!
00:18:29I can't believe we just did that.
00:18:44I can't believe we just did that.
00:18:57It's all part of that.
00:18:59It's all part of the plan.
00:19:12This is our first big show on the stage.
00:19:16We have to make sure that we look like a happy couple in front of everyone.
00:19:21Of course.
00:19:22Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:19:28Another successful play.
00:19:53It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:20:00I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:20:06Focus on the bigger picture.
00:20:09Neither of us want a real marriage right now.
00:20:12And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:20:22Let's get some rest.
00:20:24Goodnight.
00:20:25Goodnight.
00:20:26Goodnight.
00:20:42Mia, are you okay?
00:20:45Are you okay?
00:20:48Please, open up.
00:20:51Talk to me.
00:20:55I can't do this, James.
00:20:58At the wedding, I saw everyone's faces.
00:21:02They were so happy and blessed us with their whole hearts.
00:21:07I feel like I betrayed every one of them.
00:21:14But we are already here.
00:21:17There is no way of going back.
00:21:20I saw their faces.
00:21:23They believed in us.
00:21:25It was all a huge lie.
00:21:28I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:21:32It's not easy for me either.
00:21:36But we have to hang in there.
00:21:39We can't let them down right now.
00:21:41I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:21:42I wish that too, Mia.
00:21:43But I promise, we can't get through.
00:21:44I promise.
00:21:45I promise.
00:21:46We can't get through.
00:21:47I promise.
00:21:48I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:22:05I wish that Timia, but I promise we can't get through.
00:22:10I promise.
00:22:18James, I have something that I want to say.
00:22:43Mia, we agreed.
00:22:48No feelings.
00:22:54I know, but...
00:23:06Compliments of a friend.
00:23:08Please enjoy your evening.
00:23:23James?
00:23:24What's this?
00:23:27I know.
00:23:29No.
00:24:00James?
00:24:22Where are you?
00:24:28Right here, Mia.
00:24:30Is there any candle?
00:24:38James?
00:24:45So, any clue on that note?
00:24:47Um...
00:24:54Sorry.
00:25:07Hello?
00:25:08I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you. A gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:25:24Someone knows our secret. What should we do?
00:25:38You know, I've been thinking about the day we met. It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:26:01I know, and I'm glad that I met you. You're such a special woman, and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:26:18You too. I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:26:31Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:26:46It's not a fairy tale. It's a bloody reality. But I still like it. It's our story.
00:27:01What's happening?
00:27:08We're stuck. What do we do?
00:27:14What's happening?
00:27:27We're stuck.
00:27:29What do we do?
00:27:31I need to be there on time.
00:27:35Let's call the building.
00:27:37They should come and fix this.
00:27:44There's no signal.
00:27:50We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:27:54We won't.
00:27:56Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:28:01We just need to be patient.
00:28:08What's that for?
00:28:10Just to give us some strength.
00:28:12Friends can hug too.
00:28:14Okay.
00:28:26I can't believe this is happening.
00:28:31Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:28:37You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:28:41James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:28:51They'd be so disappointed.
00:28:53We're doing everything we can.
00:28:57So far, we did good.
00:29:00Everyone is happy.
00:29:03I just think about how far we've come.
00:29:07Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:29:16Well, it's like an endless spy game.
00:29:21I know.
00:29:23But we're in this together.
00:29:26We chose this to take control of our life.
00:29:28We chose this to take control of our life.
00:29:29Now we're tied together by fate.
00:29:32We are one.
00:29:38I suddenly feel so relieved.
00:29:42Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:29:46I know.
00:29:48I always rush to my friends after a bad day.
00:29:51And here I am with a dearest friend.
00:29:56And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom.
00:30:00Now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:30:04Mine too.
00:30:05My mom called the other day.
00:30:07But 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.
00:30:15Or maybe next time I can show up even sexier.
00:30:20And then she can make fun of you some more.
00:30:23I'm sexy now.
00:30:24Okay.
00:30:38Maybe we should talk about what just happened.
00:30:42The moment was...
00:30:44I enjoyed it.
00:30:46There is something I never thought I would say.
00:30:49But it's not what we expected.
00:30:52I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:30:56Mia, I have to tell you.
00:30:58I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:31:03I care about you more than I should.
00:31:06I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:31:10I'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.
00:31:31Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection,
00:31:36I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:31:39Let's tell everyone the truth.
00:31:43I'm sure they will understand.
00:31:45Maybe mad at first, but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:31:49Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:31:53I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right.
00:31:56It should be our priority right now.
00:31:58Please.
00:32:13James, our parents aside,
00:32:16I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:32:20Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:32:26Mia, I have no idea.
00:32:28But I hired an investigator, hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:32:33I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:32:43We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:32:47This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight, bringing 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.
00:33:10We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:33:13We will find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage, and we will for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:33:20This is the person hunting us.
00:33:50Who is there?
00:34:07Anyone here?
00:34:09What do you want from me?
00:34:11You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:34:24Where am I?
00:34:27What did I do?
00:34:29I assure you, there is a misunderstanding.
00:34:33Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:34:36Don't worry, don't worry, you will know what we want soon or not.
00:34:39I just need you to behave right now.
00:34:43We 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.
00:34:56Let me go.
00:35:22Hello?
00:35:23Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:35:27Maya's life depends on you.
00:35:29Don'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 dollars 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.
00:35:51That's not my concern.
00:35:53Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:35:58I need to be sure she's okay. Let me talk to her.
00:36:01That won't be happening.
00:36:03I swear, if you dare to touch her, I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:36:18I don't know what to do, Scott. They're asking for 5 million in 24 hours. I can't lose her.
00:36:26Well, figure it out, James. I'll do everything I can.
00:36:31I can't lose Mia.
00:36:33I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:36:40We found each other the one we have been looking for her whole life.
00:36:45Oh, no. This was not meant to happen.
00:36:49I have to find her. I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:36:54We will. But who will commit such a horrible crime? Anyone ring the bell?
00:37:01Mia wouldn't hurt anyone. I can assure you. This has something to do with that blackmail we received.
00:37:11Blackmail?
00:37:13Someone has been stalking us. They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:37:20Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down!
00:37:22Mark, please. I need your help. Mia's life is in danger.
00:37:32I wish I could, James. 5 million is a lot. I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:37:41David, Mark. When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help you. You're a fucking nuisance! I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:37:51I might be able to catch this up.
00:37:52Thank you for calling CPM Bank.
00:37:53Mr. Turner, how can we have a help?
00:37:56I might be able to catch this up.
00:38:00I might be able to cash this out.
00:38:19Thank you for calling CPM bank.
00:38:21Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:38:25I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:38:28I want to cash it out immediately.
00:38:31I understand the urgency.
00:38:33Please give us a moment.
00:38:44Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:38:46It's for an urgent matter.
00:38:49Sure, since this is a huge sum of money,
00:38:51I will be needing you to come over.
00:38:54I will be there in 20 minutes.
00:38:56Please get the cash ready by then.
00:38:58Yes sir, I'll move it.
00:39:00Great.
00:39:02Is it ready?
00:39:20Yes.
00:39:21Give me the location.
00:39:23Boom!
00:39:40I 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.
00:39:48I thought I'd never see you again.
00:39:55I swear to you.
00:39:57I'll protect you with my life.
00:39:59I want to give you both an update.
00:40:15We are investigating the lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:40:20Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers
00:40:24and bringing them to justice.
00:40:29Thank you, Detective.
00:40:30We appreciate your efforts.
00:40:39I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:40:43It's not your fault.
00:40:47We'll get from this.
00:40:50Here we go.
00:41:13It's been a while since we had a busy room like this.
00:41:21Yeah.
00:41:22It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:41:25Mia.
00:41:39You won't believe this.
00:41:44What is it?
00:41:46A company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:41:50They love my pitch.
00:41:52Oh my God, James.
00:41:53That's amazing.
00:41:56I'm going to call my employees to announce this news.
00:42:02And an after party later?
00:42:05You know me too well.
00:42:10Will you pick me up later for a little celebration?
00:42:14Absolutely.
00:42:15I'll meet you at home after work.
00:42:16Yeah.
00:42:17Yes.
00:42:18I needed to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:42:32We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:42:33Wow.
00:42:34That's fantastic.
00:42:35I will gather them.
00:42:37I will gather them.
00:42:42all for your time.
00:42:43Thank you all for your time.
00:42:44I'm eager to bring my team on board.
00:42:45Thank you all for your time.
00:42:46I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:42:47Thank you all for your time.
00:42:48I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:42:49Before I finish.
00:42:50Before I finish.
00:42:51I will be able to complete the meeting.
00:42:52Let's say thank you all for your time.
00:42:53Let's say thank you all for your time.
00:42:55Thank you all for your time.
00:42:56And now I get to the meeting.
00:42:57Why are you emailing me?
00:42:58I'm eager to put my team on board to execute this project.
00:42:59Before I finish.
00:43:00I'll leave me.
00:43:01If I have something out and say thank you all for your time.
00:43:14I'll leave you to complete the meeting.
00:43:16Before I finish, I'm just curious, why you guys chose us out of all the companies in
00:43:24the world?
00:43:25Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:43:29She said you're an old friend.
00:43:32An old friend?
00:43:34I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:43:39You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:43:42For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:44:12What's wrong, James?
00:44:26What could that be?
00:44:31I don't know, but we are going to find out soon.
00:44:49Samantha, have you found anything?
00:44:52I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:44:54Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:44:57James, we've made some significant progress.
00:45:01I think we're closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:45:07I'm only yours.
00:45:09Details, please.
00:45:10We managed to trace the source of the blackmail attempts.
00:45:14We found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:45:19Richard Kingsley?
00:45:21Never heard that name.
00:45:23And why would he do this?
00:45:25We're still walking on that part.
00:45:27We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:45:31Thank you, Samantha.
00:45:33Keep me posted on any updates.
00:45:35I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:45:38Of course.
00:45:39We're 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.
00:46:06I thought something happened to you.
00:46:08I'm so sorry.
00:46:10I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:46:13Everything's okay.
00:46:15I'm just glad you're okay.
00:46:17I'm safe and sound.
00:46:20Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:46:23Samantha, the private detective at heart is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:46:30I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:46:35You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:46:49Contract or not.
00:46:51I 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.
00:47:01It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:47:10It's wonderful.
00:47:11You're really talented.
00:47:13Thank you so much for your support.
00:47:16It means the world to me.
00:47:18Hello?
00:47:19James, I trust you are well.
00:47:23I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:47:36Sure. Where should we meet?
00:47:40I can rearrange some work to maybe.
00:47:41That's great.
00:47:42Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:47:45I'll be at your office at 3pm and we can go over all the details.
00:47:46Thank you for your recognition.
00:47:47I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:47:48I'll be at your office at 3pm and we can go over all the details.
00:47:54Thank you for your recognition. I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:48:01been invaluable to us. I'll be at your office at 3 p.m. and we can go over all
00:48:08the details. Thank you for your recognition. I'm more than happy to lead
00:48:13this project to our huge success.
00:48:31Hi, I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:48:44My apologies, James. I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some
00:48:50unexpected events, but our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:48:56Wow, I was not aware of that.
00:49:00Maybe you can catch up with each other. It's a great opportunity. She surely is
00:49:06very excited about this.
00:49:30I'm James Sterner. You're...
00:49:48Jimmy, don't you remember me?
00:49:56I'm sorry, but I can see too.
00:50:02I can see too.
00:50:05Perhaps... this will help you to remember me.
00:50:10I've thought as much. It's me.
00:50:18Your beloved Mabel.
00:50:22You know, Mabel, what the...
00:50:50You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:50:55I know, babe. I can't believe you're graduating. Time did fly.
00:51:02Life after college. It's a bit scary, but I'm so excited. I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:51:12I'm sure nothing can stop you from the goal.
00:51:22I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:51:26Yeah, I know.
00:51:30Should you lock the door?
00:51:31Of course I do.
00:51:35I hope you won't change it to me.
00:51:38I won't.
00:51:42Mabel?
00:51:57James, I can't explain.
00:52:00I'm so sorry you have to find out like this, but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:52:06Mabel?
00:52:21What are you doing here?
00:52:23It's Victorian 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. You know, for the old time's sake.
00:52:50Old time's sake? You cheated on me with my best friend. What do you want?
00:52:57People change, James. And I just can't let you off 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.
00:53:28We should be together. I'm the only one who can help you.
00:53:34No, Victoria. I won't let you manipulate. Not again.
00:53:48You 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.
00:54:01Don't be so harsh. If you want business, we'll talk about business.
00:54:09Let's get professional.
00:54:12James, 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?
00:54:26Oh, please. Put our history behind, will you? I'd pay responsibility to my company too, okay? I didn't take this job for fun.
00:54:39Fine. Let's be clear. I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:54:50Agree, James. We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:54:57Scott, you won't believe what just happened. What's the matter?
00:55:26Wait. Mabel? Your ex-girlfriend from college? You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:55:44That's the one. She's now going by Victoria and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:55:50She wants my help on a project. I can't shake feeling that there's more to it.
00:55:59I think we have to wait for her more. I need to find out what's really going on.
00:56:05But 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.
00:56:18I have the same feeling. Nothing is ever clear about her. I don't want Riyad to worry about this. She's working on an important artwork. And I promised I'll protect her.
00:56:30Of course. I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:56:36Thanks, ma'am. What should I do without you?
00:56:40James, are you okay? You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:56:56It's great to make your work, babe. Just step with work, you know.
00:57:02Alright. It's just that we've been through a lot together. You don't need to hide anything from me. If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:57:17Babe, 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.
00:57:53Hi, Jimmy.
00:58:01Victoria.
00:58:03What an unexpected surprise. I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:58:11I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:58:15I've moved on with my life. I have Mia, and she means everything to me.
00:58:20Oh, 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.
00:58:34Who did you expect me to do, James? You were a living college, and I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family. I need someone to back me up. I was a child.
00:58:49I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria. I got over here a long time ago. So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:59:00Come back here, dummy.
00:59:03I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:59:09James, I never said I wanted to be your wife. I just wanted to be in your life.
00:59:23And you are a condom without the check, the new site for our project. It's required by our partnership contracts.
00:59:38Yeah, I've got a business trip coming up. It's a sudden opportunity, and I need to leave for a few days.
00:59:55Oh, really? That's unexpected. When do you leave?
00:59:59Tomorrow morning. I know. It's a short notice, but I'll be back before you know it.
01:00:07Alright, James. Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
01:00:13I will. I'll miss you so much.
01:00:29James, we've had quite a bit. Is everything alright?
01:00:46This is so terrible.
01:00:50Thanks, man.
01:00:52No, you're okay.
01:00:53I feel you okay.
01:00:55Ah.
01:01:02Everything's fine. Just leave me.
01:01:14Oh!
01:01:17You've had enough tonight, James.
01:01:18tonight James. Let me make sure you're comfortable.
01:01:25Victoria, what are you doing? Don't you worry, we'll have a little chat. You're asleep
01:01:36with me. What do you want? You James, I want you. I want all of you. Your body, your love and
01:01:53even your soul. Stop it. I'm married. I don't mind. Or maybe this makes you want even more.
01:02:14You enjoy it, don't you? I know exactly how to please you.
01:02:21I can do it to her. Oh, come on, darling. We all know about your little contract.
01:02:31Besides, she would never find out.
01:02:38Enough of this is what we're talking about, James.
01:02:51What the hell happened?
01:03:01I can't believe I let it get this far.
01:03:07Don't. Don't, baby. What's wrong?
01:03:13Victoria, this is a mistake. Did you set me up? Where are you laying next to me?
01:03:19Oh, you were just so energetic. Stop the games. I'm serious. I don't love you and don't want
01:03:29to have anything to do.
01:03:31Stop that.
01:03:32Oh, I'm serious. I'm serious. What are you doing?
01:03:33What are you doing?
01:03:34Oh, well. Let's say we have a stunning night and I saved some pictures for memories.
01:03:51Delete those pictures right now
01:04:00You're playing with fire, I won't be blackmailed or manipulated delete them now
01:04:13You're just no fun James
01:04:21I want you to step away from my life. This can't happen again
01:04:26We'll see about that
01:04:41Oh, 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. Tell 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
01:05:10Okay, sure
01:05:13I'm just so glad you're home
01:05:21Tell me the truth James. Is 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?
01:05:57We had a business man. She set me up. I made a mistake
01:06:16But it's not how it looks like I love you and I don't want her to ruin us
01:06:21Tell me the truth James. What happened that night?
01:06:33Yeah, I tried to stop her I was
01:06:40Too drunk and also confused
01:06:42I
01:06:46Don't know if I can trust you anymore James
01:06:50You put our relationship on edge
01:06:54I'm so sorry I'll
01:06:56Do everything it takes to make this right

01:16:38and i'm sorry
01:16:39like you were trying to get out of it

01:16:55I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:16:58I guess
01:16:59tonight's events
01:17:01took a lot out of me.
01:17:05I'm so sorry
01:17:07for everything that has happened.
01:17:11I love you.
01:17:13And I guess
01:17:15carrying a baby
01:17:17also takes away from my strength.
01:17:23What?
01:17:25What did you just say?
01:17:28Well,
01:17:29I've been having some
01:17:31fainting incidents
01:17:33recently, so
01:17:35I went to the hospital
01:17:38by myself and
01:17:40that looks like
01:17:42in eight months
01:17:44you're going to become a dad.
01:17:50What?
01:17:52You are pregnant?
01:17:54Oh my God!
01:17:58I can't believe!
01:18:00I had no idea!
01:18:02You should have told me earlier.
01:18:05I can't believe we're becoming parents.
01:18:07This is the most exciting moment in my life.
01:18:10I knew you would be happy.
01:18:14James,
01:18:15with the baby coming
01:18:17and 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.
01:18:28And we have to tell them
01:18:30they have a grandchild on the way.
01:18:32You're right,
01:18:33You're right, Mia.
01:18:35It's time to be honest.
01:18:43I'm so happy.
01:18:46You know, Mia,
01:18:46I was thinking
01:18:48I want the girl.
01:18:50She'll have your eyes
01:18:51and my smile.
01:18:52Oh, really?
01:18:53I'm imagining a boy
01:18:56with your intelligence
01:18:58and my sense of beauty.
01:19:02But,
01:19:03as long as the little one is healthy,
01:19:05I'm satisfied.
01:19:07Never be more excited about the future.
01:19:10Me too, James.
01:19:12This journey,
01:19:13our journey,
01:19:15it's been a surprise
01:19:16in every sense of the word.
01:19:18Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:19:21And maybe,
01:19:22just maybe,
01:19:22we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:19:34Breakfast in bed
01:19:35for my beautiful princess.
01:19:37Oh my God.
01:19:39Are you trying to spoil me?
01:19:42Maybe I am.
01:19:43You deserve it.
01:19:44This looks amazing.
01:19:47I love the nuggets.
01:19:50I believe in us, James.
01:19:52We've gone through a lot of challenges
01:19:56and come out even stronger.
01:20:01Tonight is the last step
01:20:03for us to become a real couple.
01:20:05I'm lucky to have you here by my side, ma'am.
01:20:12It doesn't matter how angry they get
01:20:14upon hearing the news.
01:20:18We'll face it together.
01:20:24Mom,
01:20:25we need to tell you something
01:20:27about our marriage.
01:20:28Our marriage started with a light
01:20:36to you and me.
01:20:39And
01:20:39it was a business arrangement.
01:20:44But
01:20:44over time,
01:20:46we fell in love with each other.
01:20:51We want to make it real.
01:20:52And we'd like to have your blessing
01:20:56for real this time.
01:21:00Well,
01:21:02your marriage,
01:21:03contract or not,
01:21:05has looked pretty real to me
01:21:08from the very beginning.
01:21:10And I'm glad you guys
01:21:13you're great enough
01:21:14to admit the mistakes
01:21:15and
01:21:17go on with your
01:21:19real
01:21:20happy
01:21:21marriage life.
01:21:23Thank you for understanding, mom.
