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, I've been thinking.
00:04:38Why do we help each other out here?
00:04:40Mia, I've been thinking, why don't we help each other out here?
00:04:52What do you mean?
00:05:07Maybe we can be the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:05:14Quick boyfriend? Interesting.
00:05:19Only once, and we can be free for a long time.
00:05:24It's not what I usually do, but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:05:32These 90s just keep getting more interesting.
00:05:35Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:05:39Not yet. Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:42Okay, boyfriend. Why don't you introduce yourself more together?
00:05:48Well, I own a real estate company. We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:54You sure look like a boss. The scotch gives it away.
00:05:59Alright, enough about it. Tell me something about yourself.
00:06:03Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner. Not to show off, but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:06:13Wait, are you Mia Davis? That Mia Davis?
00:06:20In the flesh, darling.
00:06:22I understand the emergence, but this is not how negotiation works.
00:06:33I need this to be done in three days. Our investors are not going to wait for us.
00:06:39Anderson, I assure you, we are doing everything we can.
00:06:45I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:06:48We won't let you down.
00:06:50I trust ourselves.
00:07:02You are the best I've got here when we lose our students.
00:07:03We love by the people.
00:07:08We're doing everything.
00:07:13Woah.
00:07:18Hey there.
00:07:24Mia, what 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, sounds like you could use a break.
00:07:40How about a drink to unwind later?
00:07:43Let me check.
00:07:44Yeah, I can really use that.
00:07:49I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:08:01Knowing 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.
00:08:13Sounds like a plan.
00:08:23Here we go, James.
00:08:27Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:08:31Got it.
00:08:32Mom, I'm home.
00:08:41Mia!
00:08:44It's been so long.
00:08:46Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:08:49Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Davis.
00:08:51Mia's told you so much you've broken.
00:08:53Please, call me Maria.
00:08:55Come and eat.
00:08:57Help yourself with some cookies.
00:08:59Before I finish dressing with turkey.
00:09:05So far, so good.
00:09:07Let's keep it up.
00:09:16You know, I'm actually enjoying this day.
00:09:19Me too.
00:09:21I feel like we're a real couple.
00:09:26So, you two.
00:09:27Tell me how you met.
00:09:28Of course.
00:09:29It was a charming little buffet on the 3rd Avenue.
00:09:33You know, I was sitting alone, reading a chat with each other, and I think everybody is striking up a conversation.
00:09:39Oh, how I met you...
00:09:40I'm so happy you guys just met each other.
00:09:42It's been too long for me, I thought I saw it so deep in here.
00:09:46Oh, I met you...
00:09:49I'm so happy you guys just met each other!
00:09:54It's been so long, for me it's a little bit...
00:09:59That's so deep.
00:10:06All right.
00:10:08I'm sorry.
00:10:08Your mom's here, what do we do?
00:10:27Uh, quick, come in here.
00:10:32Good morning, lovebirds.
00:10:42I can see you had a lovely night.
00:10:46Stop it, mom, you're making it awkward.
00:10:50Look at you, all glowing.
00:10:57How do you reckon for my princess?
00:11:00Okay, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:11:06Okay, okay, just don't take too long.
00:11:09And why don't you get back to the city today?
00:11:13I have to say it was quite a play in your house.
00:11:25It was perfect.
00:11:26They 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, but we made it.
00:11:41So, has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit?
00:11:46They just won't let the topic off you.
00:11:49Same here.
00:11:50But now, my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding.
00:11:54I'm gonna lose my mind.
00:12:00Let's just share the night we have right now.
00:12:03While we still can.
00:12:16You know, James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:12:22I feel the same.
00:12:25I know there's beauty in commitment, but shouldn't it be our own life choice to make?
00:12:32Exactly.
00:12:33I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends.
00:12:39Telling me to rush into a life.
00:12:42Raising kids in a house and giving up all of my freedoms.
00:12:47No, thank you.
00:12:55Wait.
00:12:57I have an idea.
00:13:00It might help both of us.
00:13:02I'm all ears.
00:13:05Thinking.
00:13:08What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:13:15Thinking.
00:13:17What 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.
00:13:41Maybe separate bedrooms?
00:13:43Financial terms and so on?
00:13:45Oh.
00:13:47No feelings should be included.
00:13:50This is huge.
00:13:52I need to think about it.
00:13:53I know.
00:13:54It's not something you deal with the person whom you just met.
00:13:56But think about this.
00:13:57The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:13:58So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:13:59It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:14:02It's just, like I said, love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:14:03They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:14:04Get it, Mia?
00:14:05I do.
00:14:06I do.
00:14:07I do.
00:14:09But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:14:10And we can not find our conditions.
00:14:11There's a freeζδΉ that goes to it.
00:14:12We can not stand our standards.
00:14:13And that's it.
00:14:14We are not meant to come to you.
00:14:16The second time we belong to you.
00:14:17It's not the responsibility.
00:14:18The second time we need to be as simple as that, we want to come to you.
00:14:19So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:14:21It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:14:22It's just, like I said, love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:14:25They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:14:30Get it, Mia.
00:14:31I do.
00:14:32But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:14:33Sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:14:36doesn't follow our script and we need to adapt to that. Our life won't change to
00:14:41bit, just more freedom with this contract.
00:14:45But what about the no emotions term? Should we really cut off our feelings
00:14:51like that? It's necessary. We need to avoid the situation of falling in love
00:14:57with each other. We'll make things difficult.
00:15:02You do make a good point. I do want to take control over my own destiny again. But we
00:15:15need to set boundaries, conditions. We'll stick with friendship, contractual
00:15:22partners. Agreed, Nia. I'll write the legal contract and we should both be clear about
00:15:29all the tasks. Oh, and one more thing, James. We need to keep our personal lives
00:15:36separate from all of this. We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and
00:15:42relationships. Absolutely. Our contract won't affect Daniel
00:15:48foreign lives. We can make it done tomorrow. Follow our squad, we'll take care of everything.
00:15:55Deal.
00:15:57I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:16:03I can't believe we're actually doing this. Yeah, we've got that formula. Let's go through
00:16:20this country together. Okay. Separate bedrooms. No feelings clause.
00:16:32And it's clear of financial terms. Yep. We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:16:51I just can't believe we did that. So, what's next? I can't believe we did that. So, what's next?
00:16:58We'll tell our parents and make it official. I'll propose to you in your apartment and
00:17:05send pictures to our families. Oh, it's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:17:12Yes. Then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it. It's all part of the plan.
00:17:19I really want to get this out of my head. Can we just get it over with so we can move on
00:17:26with our lives? Yes. Then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it. It's all part of the
00:17:32plan. I really want to get this out of my head. Can we just get it over with so we can move
00:17:38on with our lives? Did you turn the camera on? Yeah, it's working.
00:17:45Mia, there is something I'm wanting to ask you tonight. Yes?
00:17:52Mia, will you marry me? Yes?
00:18:10There is something I'm wanting to ask you tonight.
00:18:13Yes?
00:18:17Mia, will you marry me?
00:18:21Oh my God, James. Yes!
00:18:28Oh my God.
00:18:40I can't believe we just did that.
00:18:58It's all part of that.
00:19:10This 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.
00:19:25Of course.
00:19:27Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:19:40Another successful play.
00:19:57It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:20:02I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:20:08Focus on the bigger picture.
00:20:10Neither of us want a real marriage right now.
00:20:14And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:20:22Let's get some rest.
00:20:24Good night.
00:20:25Good night.
00:20:26Good night.
00:20:26Mia, are you okay?
00:20:46Okay?
00:20:46Please, 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.
00:21:19I saw their faces.
00:21:22They believed in us.
00:21:25It was all a huge lie.
00:21:29I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:21:33But it's not easy for me either.
00:21:37But we have to hang in there.
00:21:40We can't let them down right now.
00:21:42I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:22:04I wish that to Mia, but I promise we can't get through.
00:22:10I promise.
00:22:11I promise.
00:22:34James, I have something that I want to say.
00:22:43Mia, we agreed.
00:22:47No feelings.
00:22:53I know, but...
00:23:05Compliments of a friend.
00:23:10Please enjoy your evening.
00:23:22James?
00:23:24What's this?
00:24:04James?
00:24:22Where are you?
00:24:28Right here, Mia.
00:24:30Is there any candle?
00:24:34Uh, James.
00:24:42So, any clue on that note?
00:24:47Uh...
00:24:54Sorry.
00:25:07Hello?
00:25:08I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you, a gift to a celebrity or a fake wedding.
00:25:24Someone knows our secret.
00:25:28What should we do?
00:25:29Hello?
00:25:30Hello?
00:25:31Hello?
00:25:32Hello?
00:25:33Hello?
00:25:34Hello?
00:25:35Hello?
00:25:36You know...
00:25:36I've been thinking about the date we met...
00:25:42You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:25:58It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:26:05I know, and I'm glad that I met you.
00:26:08You'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.
00:26:23Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:26:38It's not a fairy tale. It's a bloody reality.
00:26:52But I still like it. It's our story.
00:26:57It's my story.
00:26:58What's happening?
00:27:00What's happening?
00:27:27We're stuck.
00:27:28What do we do?
00:27:30I need to be there on time.
00:27:35Let's call the building.
00:27:36They should come and fix this.
00:27:48There's no signal.
00:27:50We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:27:54We won't.
00:27:55Someone 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?
00:28:09Just to give us some strength.
00:28:11Friends can hug too.
00:28:13Okay.
00:28:14I can't believe this is happening.
00:28:15Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:28:26You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:28:27James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:28:31They'd be so disappointed.
00:28:32We are doing everything we can.
00:28:33So far, we did good.
00:28:34Everyone is happy.
00:28:35Everyone is happy.
00:28:36I just think about it.
00:28:37We are doing everything we can.
00:28:38So far, we did good.
00:28:40Everyone is happy.
00:28:41I just think about how far we've come.
00:28:50they'd be so disappointed we're doing everything we can so far we did good everyone is happy
00:29:01I just think about how far we've come since the day we met there was the gala the proposal the
00:29:13wedding and now blackmail it's like an endless spy game I know we're in this together we chose this
00:29:27to take control of our life now we're tied together by fate we are one I suddenly feel so relieved
00:29:41maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore I know I always rush to my friends after a bad day
00:29:51and here I am with a dearest friend and now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom
00:30:00now that I'm busy with my new husband mine too my mom called the other day but when she saw you
00:30:08walk up from the bath she hung up as soon as she could but of course she made fun of us
00:30:13or maybe next time I can show up even sexier and then she can make fun of you some more
00:30:22maybe we should talk about what just happened the moment was I enjoyed it there's something I never
00:30:47thought I would say but 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 I care about you more than I should
00:31:05I don't want to lie to you I don't want to lie to my feelings pretend nothing is there I'm in love with you
00:31:12I'm in love with you
00:31:14I actually feel the exact same way I can't stop thinking about you all the time although we got into this
00:31:32relationship to avoid affection I'm glad that fate brought us together let's tell everyone the truth
00:31:42I'm sure they will understand maybe mad at first but they will be happy for us in the end
00:31:48our families will be shocked when they find out I know Mia but it's time to set things right
00:31:55that's right it should be our priority right now
00:32:12James our parents aside I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar
00:32:19who would be so interested in our personal matters
00:32:24Mia I have no idea but I hired an investigator hope she can bring me some valuable information
00:32:32I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark
00:32:36we should have never gotten ourselves into this mess this contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight
00:32:51bringing us all of these unexpected problems
00:32:54I chose this to live a better life smear
00:32:57and yet I feel that life is worse under the pretense
00:33:10we will get ourselves out of this situation
00:33:13we'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
00:33:48who's there?
00:33:55anyone here?
00:34:09what do you want from me?
00:34:11you're exactly where I want you Mia
00:34:23where am I?
00:34:25what did I do?
00:34:28I assure you there's a misunderstanding
00:34:32please just tell me what you want from me
00:34:36don't worry you will know what we want soon enough
00:34:39I just need you to behave right now
00:34:42we can talk things out
00:34:44you don't need to tie me to a chair
00:34:47I will cooperate

00:40:20Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers and bringing them to justice.
00:40:27I swear to you.
00:40:29Thank you, detective.
00:40:30We appreciate your effort.
00:40:31I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:40:32It's not your fault.
00:40:33We'll get through this.
00:40:34Here we go.
00:40:35Here we go.
00:40:36I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:40:42It's not your fault.
00:40:47We'll get through this.
00:40:50Here we go.
00:41:05It'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.
00:41:35Yeah.
00:41:36You won't believe this.
00:41:42What is it?
00:41:45The company chose us to partner on a luxury project.
00:41:49They love my pitch.
00:41:51Oh my God, James.
00:41:52That's amazing.
00:41:54I'm going to call my employees to announce this news.
00:41:58And 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.
00:42:14I'll meet you at home after work.
00:42:17Yes, I needed to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:42:45We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:42:49Wow.
00:42:50That's fantastic.
00:42:51I will gather them.
00:43:10Thank you all for your time.
00:43:11I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:43:16Before I finish, I'm just curious.
00:43:20Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:43:24Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:43:28She said you're an old friend.
00:43:30An old friend?
00:43:32I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:43:39You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:43:43For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:44:02What's wrong, James?
00:44:23What'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.
00:44:39Samantha, 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.
00:44:58James, we've made some significant progress.
00:45:01I think we are closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:45:08I'm only yours.
00:45:10Details, please.
00:45:11We managed to trace the source of the blackmail attempts.
00:45:14We found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:45:20Richard Kingsley?
00:45:21Never heard that name.
00:45:22And why would he do this?
00:45:24We'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.
00:45:39Of course.
00:45:40We're so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:45:54I 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.
00:46:10I'm so sorry.
00:46:11I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:46:14Everything'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.
00:46:25Samantha, the private detective I heard is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:46:32I 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.
00:46:51I feel the same way, Mia.
00:46:54I won't ever want to lose you.
00:46:59I'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.
00:47:10It's wonderful.
00:47:11You're really talented.
00:47:12Thank you so much for your support.
00:47:17It means the world to me.

00:51:31Of course I do.
00:51:34I hope you won't change after you leave.
00:51:38I won't.
00:51:47Mabel?
00:51:56James, I can't explain.
00:51:59I'm so sorry you have to find out like this, but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:52:06Mabel?
00:52:07What are you doing here?
00:52:21It's Victorian.
00:52:22And food business, of course, darling.
00:52:24What are you playing here?
00:52:25What's up with all the charade?
00:52:26Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:52:31You know, for the old times' sake.
00:52:35For the old times' sake.
00:52:36For the old times' sake?
00:52:37You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:52:38What do you want?
00:52:39People change, James.
00:52:40and I just can't let you on my mind.
00:52:41But how did you become the president of this company?
00:52:43How did you become the president of this company?
00:52:46Yeah, I know.
00:52:47Well, I can't think.
00:52:48No, but I don't know.
00:52:49You're right.
00:52:50You can't.
00:52:51You're right.
00:52:52No, I'm fine.
00:52:53No.
00:52:54No, have to be addressed.
00:52:55No.
00:52:56What do you want?
00:52:58People change, James.
00:53:01And...
00:53:03I just can't let you off my mind.
00:53:07How did you become the president of this company?
00:53:10What are you hiding?
00:53:13A woman like me can get whatever I want.
00:53:16It's just a little trick.
00:53:19See?
00:53:21I helped you got this project.
00:53:24I've missed you, James. Missed us.
00:53:28We should be together.
00:53:31I'm the only one who can help you.
00:53:35No, Victoria. I won't let you manipulate. Not again.
00:53:49You have always been a challenge, James.
00:53:52This is not how I imaged our reunion.
00:53:55If you come here to talk about that project, let's get to it.
00:53:59Otherwise, you should leave.
00:54:01Don't be so harsh.
00:54:03You want a business? We'll talk about business.
00:54:07Let's get professional.
00:54:11James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our opacity.
00:54:18I trust you and your ability.
00:54:21I know what you're capable of.
00:54:24Really?
00:54:26Oh, please.
00:54:28Put our history behind, will you?
00:54:32I'd pay responsibility to my company too, okay?
00:54:37I didn't take this job for fun.
00:54:41Fine.
00:54:42Let's be clear.
00:54:44I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:54:49I agree, James.
00:54:52I will keep it strictly professional.
00:55:19Scott, you won't believe what just happened.
00:55:25What's the matter?
00:55:26What's the matter?
00:55:38Wait.
00:55:39Mabel?
00:55:40Your ex-girlfriend from college?
00:55:42You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:55:45That's the one.
00:55:46She's now going by Victoria and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:55:53She wants my help on a project.
00:55:56I can't shake the feeling that there's more to it.
00:56:01I think we have to wait for her move.
00:56:04I need to find out what's really going on.
00:56:07But I can't do it alone.
00:56:08Will you help me, Scott?
00:56:10Of course.
00:56:11Happy to help.
00:56:12She wants you involved in a realistic project.
00:56:15But it's more than just business.
00:56:17I'm sure of it.
00:56:18I have the same feeling.
00:56:20Nothing is ever pure about her.
00:56:22I don't want me yet to worry about this.
00:56:24She's working on an important artwork.
00:56:27And I promise I'll protect her.
00:56:30Of course.
00:56:32I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:56:36Thanks, man.
00:56:38What should I do without you?
00:56:45James.
00:56:46Are you okay?
00:56:47You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:56:48It's great to make your work, babe.
00:56:49Just stuff with work, you know.
00:56:50All right.
00:56:51It's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:56:52You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:56:54If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:56:55Babe.
00:56:56It shouldn't worry you.
00:56:57I can handle it myself.
00:56:58Trust me.
00:56:59Okay.
00:57:00Just remember.
00:57:01I'm always here for you.
00:57:02It's great to make your work, babe.
00:57:03Just stuff with work, you know.
00:57:04All right.
00:57:05It's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:57:09You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:57:12If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:57:18Babe.
00:57:19It shouldn't worry you.
00:57:21I can handle it myself.
00:57:23Trust me.
00:57:24Okay.
00:57:25Just remember, I'm always here for you.
00:57:29If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm here.
00:57:36Thank you, Mia.
00:57:38You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to me.
00:57:43James, we're one.
00:57:46There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:57:55Hi, Jimmy.
00:58:01Victoria.
00:58:02What an unexpected surprise.
00:58:05I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:58:11I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:58:14I've moved on with my life.
00:58:17I have Mia and she means everything to me.
00:58:20Oh, please, James.
00:58:23You wouldn't let a college flinch cloud your judgement after all these years.
00:58:29Right?
00:58:31Spare me the details.
00:58:33You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:58:36What did you expect me to do, James?
00:58:39You were leaving college and I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:58:45I need someone to back me up.
00:58:48I was a child.
00:58:50I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria.
00:58:54I got over you a long time ago.
00:58:57So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:59:01Come back here, dummy.
00:59:04I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:59:17James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:59:22I just wanted to be in your life.
00:59:25And you are a column 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.
00:59:50It's a sudden opportunity and I need to leave for a few days.
00:59:55Oh, really?
00:59:57That's unexpected.
00:59:59When do you leave?
01:00:01Tomorrow morning.
01:00:03I know, it's short notice.
01:00:05But I'll be back before you know it.
01:00:08Alright, James.
01:00:10Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
01:00:14I will.
01:00:15I'll miss you so much.
01:00:20How's it so...
01:00:23James?
01:00:25You've had...
01:00:26quite a bit.
01:00:29Is...
01:00:30everything alright?
01:00:33When I was wondering if I had about one another room,
01:00:35maybe I Rob wouldfound to
01:00:40see my patterns at...
01:00:45this time.
01:00:47Oh, they didn't fall asleep.
01:00:49Thanks.
01:01:03Everything's fine, Gigi.
01:01:05Leave me.
01:01:07You've heard 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. We'll have a little chat.
01:01:35You're safe with me.
01:01:37What do you want?
01:01:41You, James.
01:01:43I want you.
01:01:45I want all of you.
01:01:47Your body.
01:01:49Your love.
01:01:51And even your soul.
01:01:57Stop.
01:01:59I'm married.
01:02:01I don't mind.
01:02:03I don't mind.
01:02:05Or maybe it makes you want even more.
01:02:13You enjoy it, don't you?
01:02:15I know exactly how to please you.
01:02:19You...
01:02:21I can't do it there.
01:02:23Oh, come on, darling.
01:02:25No.
01:02:27We all know about your new contract.
01:02:31Besides...
01:02:33She would never find out.
01:02:35Enough of this is what we're talking about, James.
01:02:41What the hell happened?
01:02:55I can't believe I'll never get this far.
01:02:59John, baby.
01:03:01What's wrong?
01:03:03Victoria, this is a mistake.
01:03:05Did you set me up?
01:03:07Where are you laying next to me?
01:03:09Oh, you were just so energetic.
01:03:11Stop the games.
01:03:13I'm serious.
01:03:15I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do.
01:03:17Hm.
01:03:18Well, well...
01:03:19Let's say...
01:03:20Let's say...
01:03:21We have a stunning night.
01:03:23And...
01:03:24I save some pictures for memories.
01:03:26I'm sorry.
01:03:27You're right?
01:03:28I'm sorry.
01:03:29I'm sorry.
01:03:30You're right.
01:03:31I'm sorry.
01:03:32You're right.
01:03:34I'm sorry.
01:03:35You were just so energetic.
01:03:37Stop the games.
01:03:38I'm serious.
01:03:40We have a stunning night and I saved some pictures for members.
01:03:51Delete 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!
01:04:10You're just no fun, James.
01:04:20I want you to step away from my life. This can 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.
01:04:59Tell me everything about your trip.
01:05:00It was a normal business trip. Nothing special.
01:05:05Let'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.
01:05:30Tell me the truth, James.
01:05:33Is she important to you?
01:05:46She's my ex from college.
01:05:49And also my current business partner.
01:05:52And what about this? Is this part of your business?
01:06:01We...
01:06:03We had a businessman. She set me up.
01:06:06I made a mistake.
01:06:10But it's not how it looks like.
01:06:14I love you.
01:06:15And I don't want her to ruin us.
01:06:18Tell me the truth, James.
01:06:21What happened that night?
01:06:24Yeah.
01:06:26I tried to save her.
01:06:29I tried to save her.
01:06:31I tried to save her.
01:06:32I was...
01:06:36Too drunk and also confused.
01:06:39I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
01:06:43You put our relationship on edge.
01:06:45I'm so sorry. I'll...
01:06:47I'll do everything it takes to make this right.
01:06:51Please, don't give up on me.
01:06:53I'm so sorry.
01:06:55I'll do everything it takes to make this right.
01:06:58Please, don't give up on me.
01:07:00Please, don't give up on us.
01:07:08I need some space.
01:07:11Please, just...
01:07:14Leave me alone.
01:07:30I need some space.
01:07:31Don't tell me what you think.
01:07:32I'll do everything.
01:07:34Don't ask for a better job.
01:07:35You are going to ask for something.
01:07:37Samantha, found anything?
01:07:38Yes, I got a lead.
01:07:40It's been a challenging investigation.
01:07:42But I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley.
01:07:48I'm listening.
01:07:49He went to the same college with Mia, and he developed an obsession over her everything.
01:07:56He's been stalking your life, collecting information, and attempting to get her.
01:08:03This is insane! How did he get so close to us?
01:08:07He used virus illnesses and keep a low profile, which made it challenging to track him.
01:08:15But we've identified his pattern 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.
01:08:30You and Mia deserve peace, James.
01:08:32I will continue to monitor the situation,
01:08:35but please take legal action to protect yourself.
01:08:39I'll take care of her, and it's time for me to take control.
01:08:46It's time to tell the truth, Richard, don't you think?
01:09:07Who sent you after us?
01:09:09Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan.
01:09:12If you don't tell the truth, I will call the cops on you.
01:09:17Fine. Fine. It was Victoria.
01:09:21Victoria.
01:09:23How did she convince you to do this?
01:09:29She told me about your contract marriage.
01:09:32She told me you don't even care about Mia.
01:09:35She promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back.
01:09:44You were manipulated, Richard.
01:09:46You're such a clown.
01:09:48You're such a clown.
01:09:57James.
01:09:59I've been seeing you.
01:10:04I thought someone never want to see me again, huh?
01:10:08Miss Morgan?
01:10:11Victoria.
01:10:12I 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.
01:10:33Okay.
01:10:35It was me.
01:10:37But I did it for us.
01:10:39For us?
01:10:41For us?
01:10:43I don't know there isn't us.
01:10:52I've always loved you, Jimmy.
01:10:55I just want to be back together with you.
01:11:06Here's the plan.
01:11:09We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
01:11:17We are professionals.
01:11:18We know how to cover our tracks.
01:11:22Good.
01:11:24And remember,
01:11:26I want her unharmed.
01:11:30This is just to make James realized he belongs to me.
01:11:35We understand.
01:11:36You get what you want.
01:11:38We understand.
01:11:40You get what you want.
01:11:58What?
01:12:00Who's there?
01:12:05Hello?
01:12:09Who's there?
01:12:14My, my, Mia.
01:12:18Yeah. What a tangled web we weave.
01:12:27It's me, Victoria.
01:12:31What do you want?
01:12:34I warned you to walk away, but you just wouldn't listen.
01:12:39So I decided to teach you a little lesson.
01:12:43See? You cried.
01:12:46You would never be good enough for James.
01:12:51He'll never get away with this.
01:12:54James wants nothing to do with you.
01:12:58We'll see about that.
01:13:01You can't control other people's feelings.
01:13:05You're such a bunny.
01:13:09Baby, Jamie wanted to have a bet.
01:13:12Why else would he choose you over me?
01:13:14What we have is real.
01:13:18And you need to face the truth.
01:13:22Listen to me carefully, Bunny.
01:13:25If you truly care for James, you'll stay away from me.
01:13:29It's not a negotiation. It's a demand.
01:13:31James and I are married.
01:13:34And there's nothing you can do about it.
01:13:40Don't be too confident. Just yet.
01:13:43Just yet.
01:13:52Mia!
01:13:53Hi, Jimmy.
01:13:55What's the hurry?
01:13:59You came as soon as you got the message, huh?
01:14:01I only send you the message to see how much you will sacrifice for Mia.
01:14:07Mia!
01:14:09Let her go.
01:14:10You want me?
01:14:11I'm here.
01:14:13You've got one minute, James.
01:14:17Your precious contract wife with the woman who's loved you all alone.
01:14:21Victoria.
01:14:31Why 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.
01:14:45But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:14:55Please.
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.
01:15:19I know.
01:15:20I was scared too.
01:15:22But here we are.
01:15:24I know.
01:15:25I know.
01:15:26I was scared too.
01:15:28But here we are.
01:15:30I know.
01:15:32I know.
01:15:33I was scared too.
01:15:35But here we are.
01:15:36And I'll always protect you.
01:15:41You mean the world to me.
01:15:43I love you, James.
01:15:46I love you too.
01:15:52Why?
01:15:54Why did you betray me?
01:15:56I know.
01:15:58I never wanted to hurt you.
01:16:01I was scared.
01:16:03And we lost control.
01:16:05I didn't know what to do with handling it.
01:16:08So...
01:16:09I decided not to tell you.
01:16:11I'm so sorry.
01:16:13You should have trusted me, James.
01:16:16I'm the...
01:16:18kind of woman you can...
01:16:21fight with.
01:16:25Yeah.
01:16:26Mia.
01:16:34Are you okay?
01:16:48You scared the hell out of me.
01:16:51It's okay.
01:16:53I feel better now.
01:16:55I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:16:58I guess...
01:17:00tonight's events took a lot out of me.
01:17:06I'm so sorry for everything that has happened.
01:17:10I love you.
01:17:14And I guess...
01:17:16carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:17:20What?
01:17:24What?
01:17:26What did you just say?
01:17:28Well...
01:17:30I've been having some...
01:17:32painting incidents recently, so...
01:17:36I went to the hospital by myself, and...
01:17:40It looks like in eight months, you're going to become a dad.
01:17:45To become a dad.
01:17:51What?
01:17:53You are pregnant?
01:17:56Oh 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.
01:18:12James...
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.
01:18:24They deserve to know the truth.
01:18:27And...
01:18:29We have to tell them...
01:18:31They have a grandchild on the way.
01:18:33You're right in here.
01:18:35It's time to be honest with me.
01:18:36I'm so happy.
01:18:37You know, Mia...
01:18:39I was thinking...
01:18:41I want a girl.
01:18:42She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:18:44Oh really?
01:18:46I'm imagining a boy...
01:18:48With your intelligence...
01:18:50And my sense of beauty.
01:18:52But...
01:18:54As long as the little one is healthy...
01:18:56I'm satisfied.
01:18:57Never been more excited about the future.
01:18:59Me too, James.
01:19:01This journey...
01:19:03Our journey...
01:19:05It's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:19:07Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:19:09And maybe...
01:19:11Just maybe...
01:19:13We'll have the best of both worlds.
01:19:14Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:19:16Oh my god...
01:19:18Are you trying to spoil me?
01:19:20Maybe I am.
01:19:21You deserve it.
01:19:23I'm sorry.
01:19:24I'm sorry.
01:19:26I'm sorry.
01:19:27I'm sorry.
01:19:29I'm sorry.
01:19:31I'm sorry.
01:19:33I'm sorry.
01:19:35I'm sorry.
01:19:37I'm sorry.
01:19:39I'm sorry.
01:19:41I'm sorry.
01:19:42Maybe I am.
01:19:43You deserve it.
01:19:45This looks amazing.
01:19:47I love the nuggets.
01:19:50I believe in us, James.
01:19:54We've gone through a lot of challenges...
01:19:57...that come out even stronger.
01:20:01Tonight is the last step for us to become a real couple.
01:20:08I'm lucky to have you here by my side now.
01:20:12It doesn't matter how angry they get upon hearing the news.
01:20:18We'll face it together.
01:20:24Mom.
01:20:26We need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:20:28Our marriage started with a lie to you and all of you.
01:20:38And...
01:20:40It was a business arrangement.
01:20:44But...
01:20:46...over time...
01:20:48...we fell in love with each other.
01:20:50We want to make it real.
01:20:53And we'd like to have your blessing...
01:20:57...for real this time.
01:20:59Well...
01:21:01...your marriage...
01:21:03...contract or not...
01:21:05...was...
01:21:07...has looked pretty real to me...
01:21:09...from the very beginning.
01:21:11And I'm glad you guys are brave enough...
01:21:14...to admit the mistakes...
01:21:15...and...
01:21:17...go on with your...
01:21:19...real...
01:21:20...happy...
01:21:21...nourish life.
01:21:23Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:21:26I'll always be there for her...
01:21:28...and we have a new member...
01:21:30...come into the family soon.
01:21:32...and we have a new member...
01:21:34...come into the family soon.
