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.
00:04:38Mia.
00:04:47I've been thinking.
00:04:49What do we help each other out here?
00:04:50We help each other out here.
00:05:06What do you mean?
00:05:09Maybe we can be the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:05:15Fake boyfriend? Interesting.
00:05:20Only once. We can be free for a long time.
00:05:25It's not what I usually do, but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:05:32This night is just getting more interesting.
00:05:36Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:05:39Not yet. Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:41Okay, boyfriend. Why don't you introduce yourself more to me?
00:05:48Well, I own a real estate company. We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:55You sure look like a boss. The scotch gives it away.
00:05:59All right, enough about me. Tell me something about yourself.
00:06:04Well, 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.
00:06:14Wait, are you Mia Davis? That Mia Davis?
00:06:21In the flesh, darling.
00:06:23I 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.
00:06:52We'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.
00:07:51Oh no.
00:08:01Knowing my mom,
00:08:02she'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.
00:09:58I'm so happy you guys.
00:10:17Your mom's here.
00:10:26What do we do?
00:10:28Quick, come in here.
00:10:36Come in.
00:10:42Good morning, lovebirds.
00:10:44I can see you had a lovely night.
00:10:47Stop it mom, you're making it awkward.
00:10:51Look 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 shouldn't you get back to the city today?
00:11:17I 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 caught us in the bedroom.
00:11:31My heart was about to jump out when I heard that knock.
00:11:35But we made it.
00:11:37So, has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit?
00:11:47They just won't let the topic off you.
00:11:49Same here.
00:11:51But now, my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding.
00:11:54I'm gonna lose my mind.
00:12:01Let's just share the night we have right now.
00:12:03While we still can.
00:12:17You know James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:12:23I feel the same.
00:12:27I know there's beauty in commitment, but...
00:12:30Shouldn'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.
00:12:40Telling me to rush into a life?
00:12:43Raising kids in a house and giving up all of my freedoms?
00:12:49No, thank you.
00:12:55Wait.
00:12:57I have an idea.
00:13:00It might help both of us.
00:13:03I'm all ears.
00:13:06Thinking.
00:13:09What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:13:15Thinking.
00:13:16What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:13:22Please elaborate.
00:13:26What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:13:31A contract marriage?
00:13:33Yeah.
00:13:35Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life.
00:13:38We'll make a legal contract with, maybe separate bedrooms, financial terms and so on.
00:13:46Oh.
00:13:48No feelings should be included.
00:13:51This is huge.
00:13:53I need to think about it.
00:13:54I know.
00:13:55It's not something you deal with the person whom you just met.
00:14:01But think about it.
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.
00:14:25They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:14:30Get it, Mia. I do.
00:14:32But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:14:34And we need to adapt to that.
00:14:36Our life won't change a bit.
00:14:38Just more freedom with this contract.
00:14:40But what about the no emotions term?
00:14:44Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:14:45It's necessary.
00:14:46We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:14:48It won't make things difficult.
00:14:50You do make a good point.
00:14:52I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:14:55But, what about the no emotions term?
00:14:57Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:14:59It's necessary.
00:15:01We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:15:03It won't make things difficult.
00:15:05You do make a good point.
00:15:07I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:15:11But, we need to set boundaries.
00:15:17Conditions.
00:15:19We'll stick with friendship.
00:15:21Contractual partners.
00:15:23Agreed, Mia.
00:15:25I'll write the legal contract and we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:15:31Oh, and one more thing, James.
00:15:34We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this.
00:15:37We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:15:44Absolutely.
00:15:46Our contract won't affect any foreign lives.
00:15:49We can make it done tomorrow.
00:15:52While our squad will take care of everything.
00:15:56Deal.
00:16:07I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:16:13Yeah.
00:16:15We've got that formula.
00:16:19Let's go through this country together.
00:16:22Okay.
00:16:26Separate bedrooms.
00:16:27Bedrooms.
00:16:30The no feelings clause.
00:16:37And it's clear financial terms.
00:16:42Yup.
00:16:45We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:16:57I just can't believe we did that.
00:17:19So, what's next?
00:17:22We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:17:25I'll propose to you in your apartment.
00:17:28And send pictures to our families.
00:17:30Oh.
00:17:32It's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:17:35Yes.
00:17:37Then 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?
00:17:48Did you turn the camera on?
00:18:02Yeah.
00:18:04It's working.
00:18:09Mia, there is something I'm wanting to ask you tonight.
00:18:13Yes?
00:18:18Mia.
00:18:20Will you marry me?
00:18:22Oh my God, James.
00:18:23Yes!
00:18:29Oh my God.
00:18:48I can't believe we just did that.
00:18:58It's all part of the plan.
00:19:00This is our first big show on the stage.
00:19:17We have to make sure that we look like a happy couple in front of everyone.
00:19:21Of course.
00:19:23Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:19:27No mistake is allowed tonight.
00:19:52Another successful play.
00:19:58It'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.
00:20:11Neither of us want a real marriage right now.
00:20:13And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:20:22Let's get some rest.
00:20:24Goodnight.
00:20:26Goodnight.
00:20:44Mia.
00:20:45Are you okay?
00:20:49Please, 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.
00:21:13But 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.
00:21:33It's not easy for me either.
00:21:35But we have to hang in there.
00:21:40We can't let them down right now.
00:21:59I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:22:06I wish that to Mia.
00:22:08But I promise.
00:22:09We can't get through.
00:22:11I promise.
00:22:35James.
00:22:36I have something that I want to say.
00:22:43Mia.
00:22:45We agreed.
00:22:48No feelings.
00:22:54I know.
00:22:56But...
00:23:05I...
00:23:06I like me.
00:23:08I'll help her with my friend.
00:23:10I would love your friend.
00:23:11Please enjoy your evening.
00:23:13James?
00:23:27Whats this?
00:23:29Wow.
00:23:59James?
00:24:22Where are you?
00:24:26Right here, Mia.
00:24:30Is there any candle?
00:24:33James.
00:24:40So, any clue on that note?
00:24:51Sorry.
00:24:58Hello?
00:25:00I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you, a gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:25:15Someone knows our secret.
00:25:26What should we do?
00:25:30You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:25:45It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:25:52I know.
00:25:53And I'm glad that I met you.
00:25:55You're such a special woman and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:25:59You too.
00:26:00I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:26:06Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding.
00:26:13I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:26:20It's not a fairy tale.
00:26:27It's a bloody reality.
00:26:28But I still like it.
00:26:34It's our story.
00:26:35It's our story.
00:26:41It's our story.
00:26:48It's our story.
00:26:49It's our story.
00:26:55What's happening?
00:27:20What's happening?
00:27:23We're stuck.
00:27:28What do we do?
00:27:30I need to be there on time.
00:27:35Let's call the building.
00:27:37They should come and fix this.
00:27:48There's no signal.
00:27:50We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:27:53We won't.
00:27:55Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:28:00We just need to be patient.
00:28:07What's that for?
00:28:09Just to give us some strength.
00:28:12Friends can hug too.
00:28:13Okay.
00:28:14I can't believe this is happening.
00:28:28Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:28:35You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:28:41I can't believe this is coming.
00:28:42No, maybe we can run a hospital for a couple of years.
00:28:45I can't believe it's a cyst.
00:28:46No, but we're not good.
00:28:47I can't believe it's yourیں.
00:28:48Oh no, I'm not good.
00:28:49This house can take place for a future.
00:28:50So bad?
00:28:51You're not good.
00:28:52You're not good.
00:28:53However, you've got to be a nurse for your patients.
00:28:54You're not good.
00:28:55We are doing everything we can. So far, we did good. Everyone 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?
00:29:17It's like an endless spy game.
00:29:20I know. But we are in this together. We chose this to take control of our life.
00:29:29And now we are tied together by fate. We are one.
00:29:38I suddenly feel so relieved. Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:29:46I know. I always rush to my friends after a bad day. And here I am, with a dearest friend.
00:29:55And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom, now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:30:02Mine 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.
00:30:21I'm sexy now, okay.
00:30:24Maybe we should talk about what just happened. The moment was...
00:30:42I enjoyed it. There is something I never thought I would say.
00:30:48But 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.
00:31:12I'm in love with you.
00:31:14I actually feel the exact same way.
00:31:27I 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. I'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. It should be our priority right now.
00:32:09James, our parents aside, I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:32:20Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:32:25Mia, I have no idea.
00:32:28But 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.
00:32:43We 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.
00:32:53I 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'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage.
00:33:17And we'll for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:33:47Who's there?
00:33:54Who's there?
00:34:08Anyone here?
00:34:10What do you want from me?
00:34:17You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:34:24Where am I?
00:34:27What 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.
00:35:11Hello?
00:35:23Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:35:27Maya's life depends on you.
00:35:29Don't bother.
00:35:31You 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.
00:35:39Who are you and what do you want?
00:35:42That is not a question for me to answer.
00:35:45Just 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?
00:35:57I need to be sure she's okay. Let me talk to her.
00:36:01That won't be happening.
00:36:02I swear, if you dare to touch her, I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:36:09I don't know what to do, Scott. They're asking for $5 million in 24 hours. I can't lose her.
00:36:24Well, figure it out, James. I'll do everything I can.
00:36:31I can't lose Mia.
00:36:35I 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.
00:36:44Oh, 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.
00:37:08Blackmail?
00:37:13Someone has been stalking us. They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:37:19Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:37:26Mark, please, I need your help. Mia's life is in danger.
00:37:31I wish I could, James. Five million is a lot. I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:37:42Save it, Mark. When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help.
00:37:47You're a fucking nuisance. I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:37:51I might be able to cash this out.
00:38:10Thank you for calling CPM Bank. Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:38:24I have a certificate of deposit with your bank. I want to cash it out immediately.
00:38:30I understand the urgency. Please give us a moment.
00:38:34Can you get money for me in an hour? It's for an urgent matter.
00:38:48Sure. Since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:38:53I will be there in 20 minutes. Please get the cash ready by then.
00:38:58Yes, sir. I'll note it.
00:39:00Great.
00:39:01Is it ready?
00:39:20Yes. Give 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. We're in this together.
00:39:52I thought I'd never see you again.
00:39:55I swear to you.
00:39:57I'll protect you with my life.
00:40:13I 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 and bringing them to justice.
00:40:29Thank you, Detective. We appreciate your effort.
00:40:32I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:40:46It's not your fault. We'll get through this.
00:40:50Here we are.
00:40:51It's been a while since we had a piss moon like this.
00:41:09Yeah. It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:41:15It'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.
00:41:22It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:41:39Mia, you won't believe this.
00:41:44What is it?
00:41:47A company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:41:49They love my pitch.
00:41:52Oh my God, James. That's amazing.
00:41:56I'm going to call my employees to announce this news.
00:41:59And an after party later?
00:42:04You 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.
00:42:16Very good.
00:42:23Yes. I need you to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:42:25Yes, 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.
00:42:50Wow, this is fantastic, I will gather them.
00:43:10Thank you all for your time, I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:43:18Before I finish, I'm just curious, why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the
00:43:24world?
00:43:25Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:43:29She said you're an old friend.
00:43:31An old friend?
00:43:34I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:43:39You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:43:43For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:43:46I'm not sure.
00:43:56I'm not sure.
00:43:57I'm not sure.
00:43:59What's wrong, James?
00:44:24What could that be?
00:44:31I don't know, but we are going to find out soon.
00:44:45Samantha, have you found anything?
00:44:52I 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're closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:45:09I'm over yours.
00:45:10Details, please.
00:45:11We managed to trace the source of the blackmail attempts.
00:45:15We found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:45:20Richard Kingsley?
00:45:21Never heard that name.
00:45:23And why would he do this?
00:45:25We're still walking on that part.
00:45:28We'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.
00:45:55I 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.
00:46:09I'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.
00:46:18I'm safe and sound.
00:46:21Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:46:24Samantha, 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.
00:46:49Contract or not.
00:46:51I feel the same way, Mia.
00:46:53I 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.
00:47:11It's wonderful.
00:47:12You're really talented.
00:47:14Thank you so much for your support.
00:47:17It means the world to me.
00:47:19Hello?
00:47:20James, I trust you are well.
00:47:25I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:47:34Sure.
00:47:35Where should we meet?
00:47:36Sure.
00:47:37Where should we meet?
00:47:40I can rearrange some work tonight.
00:47:41That's great.
00:47:42That's great.
00:47:43Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:47:45I'll be at your office at 3 p.m. and we can go over all the details.
00:47:52Thank you for your recognition.
00:47:53I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:48:07Thank you for your recognition.
00:48:08I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:48:37Hi.
00:48:38I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:48:43My apologies, James.
00:48:45I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events.
00:48:51But our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:48:56Wow.
00:48:57I was not aware of that.
00:48:59Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:49:02It's a great opportunity.
00:49:04She surely is very excited about this.
00:49:34I'm James Sterner.
00:49:35You're...
00:49:36Jimmy?
00:49:37Don't you remember me?
00:49:39I'm sorry, but...
00:49:40I can suit you.
00:49:41I'm James Sterner, you're...
00:49:48Jimmy, don't you remember me?
00:49:55I'm sorry, but I can see too.
00:50:03Perhaps this will help you to remember?
00:50:10I'm fed as much.
00:50:16It's me, your beloved Mabel.
00:50:23Mabel?
00:50:25Mabel.
00:50:40You 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. I'm deep-like.
00:51:01Life 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.
00:51:18I 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 after you live.
00:51:38I won't.
00:51:42Mabel?
00:51:57James, I can't explain.
00:52:00I'm so sorry I have to find out like this, but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:52:20Mabel?
00:52:21What are you doing here?
00:52:24It's Victoria.
00:52:26And for business, of course, darling.
00:52:30What are you playing here?
00:52:35What's up with all the charade?
00:52:39Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:52:46You know, for the old time's sake.
00:52:50Old time's sake?
00:52:52You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:52:55What do you want?
00:52:57People change, James.
00:53:00And I just can't let you off my mind.
00:53:06How 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 with just a little trick.
00:53:19See?
00:53:21I helped you got this project.
00:53:24I've missed you, James.
00:53:26Missed us.
00:53:28We should be together.
00:53:31I'm the only one who can help you.
00:53:35No, Victoria.
00:53:37I won't let you manipulate.
00:53:39Not 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.
00:54:03If you want a 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.
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?
00:54:36I didn't take this job for fun.
00:54:40Fine.
00:54:41Let's be clear.
00:54:43I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:54:50Agree, James.
00:54:52We'll keep it strictly professional.

01:07:20Samantha found anything yes I got a lead it's been a challenging investigation but I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley
01:07:47I'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
01:08:02this 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 but we've identified his patterns and his current location
01:08:20I had a device involving the authorities and getting a restraining order against him
01:08:26thank you Samantha I appreciate your dedication
01:08:29you and Mia deserve peace James
01:08:32I will continue to monitor the situation

01:11:42what?
01:11:44hello?
01:11:51who's there?
01:11:52What?
01:12:05Hello?
01:12:09Who's there?
01:12:16My, my, Mia.
01:12:20What 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?
01:12:45You cried.
01:12:47You 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.
01:13:00You can't control other people's feelings.
01:13:05You're such a bunny.
01:13:09Baby, Jamie wanted to have a bet.
01:13:12Why else he would choose you over me?
01:13:15What 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.
01:13:31It's a demand.
01:13:33James 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.
01:13:52Mia!
01:13:54Hi, Jimmy.
01:13:56What'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 would sacrifice for Mia.
01:14:07Mia!
01:14:09Let her go.
01:14:10You want me?
01:14:11I'm here.
01:14:14You've got one minute, James.
01:14:17Your precious contract wife or the woman who's left you all alone.
01:14:22Victoria.
01:14:27Victoria.
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?
01:14:41I won't even have a life after tonight.
01:14:45But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:14:52Please, put the gun down.
01:14:58You don't want to end up like this.
01:15:01Mia is the only one I love.
01:15:04I don't want to end up like that.
01:15:05She's the only one I love.
01:15:06She's the only one I love you.
01:15:07You're the only one I love you.
01:15:08And she's the only one I love you.
01:15:09I love you.
01:15:11I love you.
01:15:12She's the only one I love you.
01:15:14I love you.
01:15:16You're the only one I love you.
01:15:18Hey.
01:15:20It's over now.
01:15:22We're safe.
01:15:24I was so scared, James.
01:15:27I thought I'd never see you again.
01:15:30you again. I know. I was scared too. But here we are. And I'll always protect you. You
01:15:41mean the world to me. I love you James. I love you too. Why? Why did you betray me? I
01:15:59never wanted to hurt you. I was scared. I didn't know how to handle it so I decided not to tell
01:16:10you and I'm so sorry. You should have trusted me James. I'm the kind of woman you can fight
01:16:22me. Yeah. Mia! Are you okay? You scared the hell out of me. It's okay. I'm not
01:16:50It's okay. I 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.
01:17:05I'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?
01:17:26What did you just say?
01:17:29Well, I've been having some fainting incidents recently, so...
01:17:36I went to the hospital by myself and...
01:17:41It looks like in eight months you're going to become a dad.
01:17:51What? You're pregnant?
01:17:55Oh my god!
01:17:58I can't believe! I had no idea!
01:18:02You should have told me earlier.
01:18:04I 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, with the baby coming and 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 we have to tell them.
01:18:30They have a grandchild on the way.
01:18:33You're right, Mia.
01:18:35It's time to be honest with them.
01:18:44I'm so happy.
01:18:46You know, Mia.
01:18:47I was thinking...
01:18:49I want a girl.
01:18:50She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:18:52Oh, really?
01:18:54I'm imagining a boy with your intelligence and my sense of beauty.
01:19:02But as long as the little one is healthy, I'm satisfied.
01:19:07I've never been more excited about the future.
01:19:10Me too, James.
01:19:12This journey, our journey, it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:19:19Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:19:21And maybe...
01:19:22Just maybe...
01:19:23We'll have the best of both worlds.
01:19:34Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:19:37Oh my god.
01:19:39Are you trying to spoil me?
01:19:41Maybe I am.
01:19:43You deserve it.
01:19:44This looks amazing.
01:19:46I love the nuggets.
01:19:50I believe in us, James.
01:19:54We've gone through a lot of challenges that come out even stronger.
01:20:01Tonight is the last step for 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 upon hearing the news.
01:20:18We'll face it together.
01:20:24Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:20:28Our marriage started with a light to your family.
01:20:39And...
01:20:42It was a business arrangement.
01:20:44But...
01:20:46Over time...
01:20:48We fell in love with each other.
01:20:51We want to make it real.
01:20:54And we'd like to have your blessing.
01:20:57For real this time.
01:21:00Well...
01:21:02Your marriage...
01:21:03Contract or not...
01:21:05Was...
01:21:06Has looked pretty real to me.
01:21:09From the very beginning.
01:21:11And I'm glad you guys are brave enough...
01:21:15To admit the mistakes.
01:21:17And...
01:21:18Go on with your...
01:21:20Real...
01:21:21Happy...
01:21:23Thank you for understanding, mom.
01:21:29I'll always be there for her.
01:21:32And we have a new member come into the family soon.
01:21:36Haha.
