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.
00:03:06I wish.
00:03:07I'd rather.
00:03:16Yes.
00:03:17I'm Mia.
00:03:18Pleasure to meet you.
00:03:20It's our endless battle.
00:03:23To my new comrade.
00:03:24James, right?
00:03:39Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:41Mia, you must be afraid.
00:03:44Uh, that 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?
00:03:58My mom calls me every single day to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:04:06And what was your response?
00:04:09Um, I said yes just to stop her calls, but I don't think there's anyone.
00:04:16You?
00:04:18My parents are obsessed with my kids, even though I'm still single.
00:04:24Splash, please.
00:04:35Here, to our endless battle.
00:04:46Mia, I've been thinking, wouldn't we help each other out here?
00:04:51What do you mean?
00:05:08Maybe we can do the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:05:13Fake boyfriend?
00:05:14Fake boyfriend?
00:05:15Fake boyfriend?
00:05:16Interesting?
00:05:17Only once.
00:05:18We can be free for a long time.
00:05:19It's not what I usually do, but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:05:20This night is just getting more interesting.
00:05:21Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:05:22Not yet.

00:10:57i'll do everything for my princess okay um i think the couple needs their alone time now
00:11:03okay okay just don't take too long and she'll let you get back to the city today
00:11:22i have to say it was quite a play in your house it was perfect they all bought it remember how
00:11:29your mom almost got us in the bedroom my heart was about to jump out when i heard that knock
00:11:36but we made it
00:11:41so has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit they just won't let the
00:11:47topic off you same here but now my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding i'm gonna lose my mind
00:12:00let's just share the night we have right now while we still can
00:12:16you know james it's nice like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life
00:12:22i feel the same i know there's beauty and commitment but
00:12:30shouldn't it be our own life choice to make exactly i'd rather cherish these moments with you and my
00:12:38friends telling me to rush into a life raising kids in a house and giving up all of my freedoms no thank you
00:12:52i have an idea it might help both of us i'm all ears
00:13:05thinking what if we turn the tables on our families
00:13:11please elaborate
00:13:25what if we consider a contract marriage
00:13:31a contract marriage yeah our 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 oh no feelings
00:13:48should be included this is huge i need to think about it
00:13:53i know it's not something to deal with the person who you just met but think about this the contract will
00:14:04satisfy our parents expectations so 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 they should be based on
00:14:26emotions and connection that grows naturally get it mia i do but sometimes life doesn't follow our
00:14:37script and we need to adapt to them our life won't change a bit just more freedom with this contract
00:14:45but what about the no emotions term should we really cut off our feelings like that
00:14:53it's necessary we need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other
00:14:58you do make a good point i do want to take control over my own destiny again
00:15:14but we need to set boundaries conditions we'll stick with friendship contractual partners
00:15:22agree agree i'll write the legal contract and we should both be clear about all the terms
00:15:31oh and one more thing james we need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this we both
00:15:38continue to pursue our goals passions and relationships absolutely our contract won't affect any of our lives
00:15:48so we can make it done tomorrow while our squad will take care of everything deal
00:16:08i can't believe we're actually doing this
00:16:11yes yeah we've got that formula let's go through this country together okay
00:16:26separate bedrooms
00:16:30no feelings clause
00:16:31no feelings clause
00:16:36and it's clear financial terms
00:16:42yep
00:16:44we'll be committed to each other from now on
00:16:58i just can't believe we did that
00:17:18so what's next
00:17:21we'll tell our parents and make it official
00:17:25i'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
00:17:36yes then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it
00:17:40it's all part of the plan
00:17:43i 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
00:17:54on property
00:17:59did you turn the camera on
00:18:00on
00:18:01on
00:18:02yeah
00:18:04it's working
00:18:09yeah
00:18:10there's something i wanted to ask you tonight
00:18:12Yes?
00:18:17Mia, will you marry me?
00:18:20Oh my God, James! Yes!
00:18:27Oh my God!
00:18:42I can't believe we just did that.
00:18:57It's all part of that.
00:19:00This 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. Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:19:30Oh my God.
00:19:51Another 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.
00:20:05Focus on the bigger picture.
00:20:09Neither of us wants a real marriage right now.
00:20:12And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:20:21Let's get some rest.
00:20:23Goodnight.
00:20:24Goodnight.
00:20:25Goodnight.
00:20:44Mia! Are you okay?
00:20:46Please, open up. Talk 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.
00:21:24It was all a huge lie.
00:21:27I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:21:33It'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.
00:22:01I wish that Tumia, but I promise we can't get through.
00:22:06I promise.
00:22:07I promise.
00:22:08We can't get through.
00:22:10I promise.
00:22:11I promise.
00:22:35James, I have something that I want to say.
00:22:38Mia, we agreed.
00:22:45No feelings.
00:22:48I know.
00:22:50But...
00:22:52Complements are my friend.
00:22:55I promise.
00:22:57I promise.
00:22:59I promise.
00:23:01I promise.
00:23:03I promise.
00:23:05I promise.
00:23:06I promise.
00:23:07I promise.
00:23:09ंiem.
00:23:11Please enjoy your evening.
00:23:15James?
00:23:16What's this?
00:23:59James?
00:24:22Where are you?
00:24:28Right here, Mia.
00:24:29Is there any candle?
00:24:36James?
00:24:44So, any clue on that note?
00:24:47Hello?
00:24:52I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you.
00:25:00I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you, a gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:25:25Everyone knows our secret, what should we do?
00:25:53You know, I've been thinking about the day we met, it feels like a lifetime ago.
00:26:06I know, and I'm glad that I met you. You're such a special woman and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:26:14You 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. But I still like it. It's our story.
00:26:57What's happening?
00:27:21We're stuck. What do we do? I need to be there on time.
00:27:35Let's call the building. They should come and fix this.
00:27:40There's no signal. We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:27:54We won't. Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:28:00We just need to be patient.
00:28:08What's that for?
00:28:10Just to give us some strength. Friends can hug too.
00:28:14Okay.
00:28:15I can't believe this is happening.
00:28:30Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:28:35You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:28:46James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:28:51They'd be so disappointed.
00:28:55We'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 wedding, and now blackmail?
00:29:18It's like an endless spy game.
00:29:20I know. But we're 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.
00:29:56And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom, now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:30:03Mine too. My mom called the other day. But when she saw you walk up from the bath, she hung up as soon as she could.
00:30:11But of course, she made fun of us.
00:30:15Or maybe next time I can show up even sexier, and then she can make fun of you some more.
00:30:23I'm sexy now.
00:30:24Maybe we should talk about what just happened. The moment was...
00:30:43I enjoyed it. There is something I never thought I would say.
00:30:47But it's not what we expected. I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:30:55Mia, I have to tell you. I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:31:01I care about you more than I should. I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:31:10I'm in love with you.
00:31:11I actually feel the exact same way. I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:31:30Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection, I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:31:41Let'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.
00:31:52I know, Mia, but it's time to set things 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?
00:32:25Mia, 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.
00:32:36We 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.
00:32:54I chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:33:06And yet, I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:33:11We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:33:13We will find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage.
00:33:19And we will for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:33:22We will unackered nearby.
00:33:24This is work towards Momo.
00:33:25Perhaps She has noérable清 Helena How to buy her.
00:33:27Please help me try and see her основation.
00:33:29Who will be is she who will be in the south water?
00:33:32He knows how to suffer?
00:33:39Woman in the south water.
00:33:45She has lived there today.
00:33:50Who's there?
00:34:08Anyone here?
00:34:10What do you want from me?
00:34:20You'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.
00:34:47I will cooperate.
00:34:50If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:34:55Just let me go.
00:35:20Hello?
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 five million dollars if you want to see her alive.
00:35:40Who 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.
00:35:48I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:35:52That's not my concern.
00:35:54Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:35:57I need to be sure she is okay.
00:36:00Let me talk to her.
00:36:02That won't be happening.
00:36:04I swear, if you dare to touch her, I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:36:10I don't know what to do, Scott.
00:36:21They are asking for five million dollars in 24 hours.
00:36:24I can't lose her.
00:36:27Well, figure it out, James.
00:36:28I will do everything that I can.
00:36:31I can't lose Maya.
00:36:36I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:36:41We found each other the one we have been looking for our whole life.
00:36:46Oh, no.
00:36:47This was not meant to happen.
00:36:50I have to find her.
00:36:52I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:36:54We will.
00:36:55But who will commit such a horrible crime?
00:37:00Anyone ring the bell?
00:37:03Maya wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:37:04I can assure you.
00:37:06This has something to do with the blackmail we received.
00:37:11Blackmail?
00:37:14Someone has been stalking us.
00:37:16They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:37:19Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:37:25Mark, please, I need your help.
00:37:30Maya's life is in danger.
00:37:32I wish I could, James.
00:37:35Five million is a lot.
00:37:38I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:37:42Save it, Mark.
00:37:43When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help.
00:37:47You're a fucking nuisance.
00:37:48I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:38:09I might be able to catch this out.
00:38:11Thank 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.
00:38:34Please give us a moment.
00:38:35I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:38:40Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:38:47It's for an urgent matter.
00:38:49Sure, since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:38:55I will be there in 20 minutes.
00:38:56Please get the cash ready by then.
00:38:59Yes, sir, I'll know you.
00:39:01Great.
00:39:10Is it ready?
00:39:19Yes.
00:39:21Give me the location.
00:39:22Boom!
00:39:23I 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.
00:39:47I 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 and bringing them to justice.
00:40:29Thank you, Dr. We appreciate your efforts.
00:40:32I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:40:45It's not your fault.
00:40:48We'll get from this.
00:40:51Here we go.
00:40:51It's been a while since we had a busy room like this.
00:41:19Yeah, it's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:41:39Mia, you won't believe this.
00:41:41What is it?
00:41:47A company chose us to partner on a luxury project.
00:41:50They 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.
00:42:02And an after party later?
00:42:05You know me too well.
00:42:07Will you pick me up later for a little celebration?
00:42:14Absolutely.
00:42:15I'll meet you at home after work.
00:42:37Yes, I need you 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, that's fantastic.
00:42:52I will gather them.
00:42:53Thank you all for your time.
00:43:12I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:43:15Before I finish, I'm just curious.
00:43:21Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the 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?
00:43:33I'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 I know you're not sure what it might be.
00:43:48I'm not sure what it might be.
00:43:52I don't know you're missing.
00:44:13You're
00:44:14What'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.
00:44:44Samantha, 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 only yours.
00:45:10Details, please.
00:45:11We managed to trace the source of the blackmail.
00:45:15At times, we found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:45:20Richard Kingsley?
00:45:22Never heard that name.
00:45:23And why would he do this?
00:45:25We're still walking on that part.
00:45:28We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:45:32Thank you, Samantha.
00:45:34Keep me posted on any updates.
00:45:35I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:45:39Of course, we'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.
00:46:07I thought something happened to you.
00:46:09I'm so sorry.
00:46:11I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:46:15Everything's okay.
00:46:16I'm just glad you're okay.
00:46:19I'm safe and sound.
00:46:21Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:46:26Samantha, the private detective at heart is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:46:31I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:46:43You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:46:50Contract or not.
00:46:52I feel the same way, Mia.
00:46:54I won't ever want to lose you.
00:46:56I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:47:02It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:47:11It's wonderful.
00:47:13You're really talented.
00:47:15Thank you so much for your support.
00:47:18It means the world to me.
00:47:26James, I trust you are well.
00:47:41I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:47:49Sure.
00:47:50Where should we meet?
00:47:51I can rearrange some work to me, maybe.
00:47:57That's great.
00:47:59Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:48:04I'll be at your office at 3 p.m. and we can go over all the details.
00:48:09Thank you for your recognition.
00:48:11I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:48:21Hi, I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:48:42My apologies, James.
00:48:46I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events.
00:48:52But our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:48:56Wow.
00:48:57I was not aware of that.
00:49:00Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:49:02It's a great opportunity.
00:49:05She surely is very excited about this.
00:49:07We'll see you next time.
00:49:37I'm James Sterner.
00:49:45You're...
00:49:47Jimmy?
00:49:52Don't you remember me?
00:50:00I'm sorry, but I can see you.
00:50:03Perhaps this will help you to remember me.
00:50:13I've felt as much.
00:50:16It's me.
00:50:18Your beloved Mabel.
00:50:23Mabel?
00:50:24You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new year.
00:50:54I know, babe.
00:50:55I can't believe you're graduating.
00:50:59Time did fly.
00:51:01Life after college.
00:51:03It's a bit scary.
00:51:04It's a bit scary.
00:51:05But I'm so excited.
00:51:06I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:51:10I'm sure nothing can stop you from your goal.
00:51:17I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:51:19Yeah, I know.
00:51:20I know.
00:51:21Should you lock the door?
00:51:22Of course I do.
00:51:23I hope you won't change after you live.
00:51:26I won't.
00:51:27I won't.
00:51:28Mabel?
00:51:29Mabel?
00:51:30James, I can't explain.
00:51:31Mabel?
00:51:32I can't explain.
00:51:33I'm so sorry.
00:51:34I have to find out.
00:51:35I have to find out like this but Mabel and I have been to the hospital.
00:51:36I can't explain.
00:51:37I'm so sorry.
00:51:38I have to find out like this but Mabel and I have been to the hospital.
00:51:42a while now.
00:51:43I have to find out like this but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:52:10Mabel and I have to find out like this but I don't have to be昨...
00:52:17I have to find out like this.
00:52:20Mabel?
00:52:21What are you doing here?
00:52:22It's Victoria.
00:52:23And for business of course darling.
00:52:24Why are you playing here?
00:52:25What's up with all the charade?
00:52:28For business, of course, darling.
00:52:33What are you playing here?
00:52:36What's up with all the charade?
00:52:40Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:52:46You know, for the old time's sake.
00:52:50Old time's sake?
00:52:52You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:52:55What do you want?
00:52:58People change, James, and I just can't let you out my mind.
00:53:07How did you become the president of this company?
00:53:10What are you hiding?
00:53:12A woman like me can get whatever I want with just a little trick.
00:53:19See?
00:53:21I helped you out 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 me.
00:53:39Not again.
00:53:40You 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 the project, let's get to it.
00:53:59Otherwise, you should leave.
00:54:01Don't be so harsh.
00:54:02Don't be so harsh.
00:54:04You want business, we'll talk about business.
00:54:09Let's get professional.
00:54:13James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our opacity.
00:54:17I trust you on your ability.
00:54:20I know what you're capable of.
00:54:25Really?
00:54:26Oh, please.
00:54:27Oh, please.
00:54:29Put 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.
00:54:41Fine.
00:54:42Let's be clear.
00:54:44I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:54:50Agree, James.
00:54:53We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:54:55Scott, you won't believe what you're saying.
00:55:25What's the matter?
00:55:38Wait, Mabelle?
00:55:40Your ex-girlfriend from college?
00:55:43You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:55:46That's the one.
00:55:47She's now gone by Victoria, and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:55:53She wants my help on a project.
00:55:55I can't shake feeling that there's more to it.
00:56:01I think we have to wait for her more.
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.
00:56:21Nothing is ever pure about her.
00:56:22I don't want Riyad to worry about this.
00:56:25She's working on an important artwork.
00:56:28And I promised I'll protect her.
00:56:31Of course.
00:56:33I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:56:36Thanks, ma'am.
00:56:38What should I do without you?
00:56:53James, are you okay?
00:56:54You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:56:59Sorry to make your word, babe.
00:57:01Just stuff at work, you know.
00:57:04All right.
00:57:05It's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:57:08You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:57:12If you want to talk about something,
00:57:15we can figure it out together.
00:57:18Babe, it shouldn't worry you.
00:57:21I can handle it myself.
00:57:23Trust me.
00:57:24Okay.
00:57:25Just remember,
00:57:27I'm always here for you.
00:57:30If you want to talk things through
00:57:32or need some help,
00:57:35I'm here.
00:57:37Thank you, Mia.
00:57:39You focus on your beautiful project
00:57:41and leave everything else to me.
00:57:44James, we're one.
00:57:47There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:57:51Hi, Jimmy.
00:58:01Victoria.
00:58:03What an unexpected surprise.
00:58:06I 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.
00:58:18I have Mia,
00:58:19and she means everything to me.
00:58:21Oh, please, James.
00:58:24You wouldn't let a college flinch
00:58:26cloud your judgment
00:58:27after all these years.
00:58:30Right?
00:58:31Spare me the details.
00:58:33You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:58:35Who did you expect me to do, James?
00:58:40You were a living college,
00:58:42and I wouldn't survive alone
00:58:43with a blood-sucking family.
00:58:46I need someone to back me up.
00:58:49I was a child.
00:58:50I don't care about your reasons anymore,
00:58:54Victoria.
00:58:56I got over here a long time ago.
00:58:59So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:59:03Come back here, dummy.
00:59:06I don't ever want to meet you again
00:59:09outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:59:11James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:59:23I just wanted to be in your life.
00:59:28And you are a column without the check,
00:59:33didn't you decide for our project?
00:59:36It's required by our partnership contract.
00:59:41I've got a business trip coming up.
00:59:50It's a sudden opportunity,
00:59:53and I need to leave for a few days.
00:59:55Oh, really?
00:59:56That's unexpected.
00:59:58When do you leave?
01:00:00Tomorrow morning.
01:00:02I know, it's short notice,
01:00:05but I'll be back before you know it.
01:00:08All right, James.
01:00:09Just be safe
01:00:11and don't overwork yourself.
01:00:14I will.
01:00:15I'll miss you so much.
01:00:35James.
01:00:36We've had quite a bit.
01:00:42Is everything all right?
01:00:45I know.
01:00:46I know.
01:00:47I know.
01:00:47I have quite a lot of fun.
01:00:51I have quite a few days.
01:01:03Are you OK?
01:01:04I love you, James.
01:01:04It's fine, James.
01:01:06Leave me.
01:01:07Yes.
01:01:08Yeah.
01:01:08I love you.
01:01:09I love you.
01:01:09I love you.
01:01:10I love you.
01:01:11I love you.
01:01:11I love you.
01:01:12I love you.
01:01:12I love you.
01:01:13My husband's a little son.
01:01:14I love you.
01:01:14I love you.
01:01:14I love you.
01:01:14You've had enough tonight, James.
01:01:21Let me make sure you're comfortable.
01:01:25Doria, what are you doing?
01:01:30Don't you worry.
01:01:32We'll have a little chat.
01:01:35You're safe with me.
01:01:38What do you want?
01:01:41You, James.
01:01:43I want you.
01:01:46I want all of you.
01:01:49Your body, your love, and even your soul.
01:01:59Stop.
01:02:00I am married.
01:02:04I don't mind.
01:02:06The work we do is makes you want even more.
01:02:09You enjoy it, don't you?
01:02:17I know exactly how to please you.
01:02:20Yeah.
01:02:22I can do it to her.
01:02:24Oh, come on, darling.
01:02:26James, we all know about your new contract.
01:02:32Besides, she would never find out.
01:02:39Enough of this is what we're talking about, James.
01:02:42What the hell happened?
01:02:57I can't believe I let it get this far.
01:03:06Don't, baby.
01:03:11What's wrong?
01:03:13Victoria, this is a mistake.
01:03:16Did you set me up?
01:03:17Where are you laying next to me?
01:03:20Oh, you were just so energetic.
01:03:23Stop the games.
01:03:26I'm serious.
01:03:27I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do.
01:03:35Well, well.
01:03:38Let's say we have a stunning night.
01:03:42And 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.
01:04:02I won't be blackmailed or manipulated.
01:04:05Delete them now.
01:04:12You're just no fun, James.
01:04:20I want you to step away from my life.
01:04:23This can happen again.
01:04:26We'll see about that.
01:04:37I don't know.
01:04:42Oh, Jamie, Jamie.
01:04:45You can never run away from me.
01:04:51Oh, my God.
01:04:53James, you're home.
01:04:55I miss you too, babe.
01:04:57It's good to be home.
01:04:58Tell me everything about your trip.
01:05:01It was a normal business trip.
01:05:03Nothing special.
01:05:05Let's not talk about it.
01:05:06I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
01:05:10Okay, sure.
01:05:12Um, I'm just so glad you're home.
01:05:30Tell me the truth, James.
01:05:32Is she important to you?
01:05:35No.
01:05:42She's my ex from college, and also my current business partner.
01:05:54And what about this?
01:05:56Is this part of your business?
01:05:57Is this part of your business?
01:06:08We had a business partner.
01:06:10She set me up.
01:06:12I made a mistake.
01:06:16But it's not how it looks like.
01:06:18I love you, and I don't want her to ruin us.
01:06:22Tell me the truth, James.
01:06:27What happened that night?
01:06:33Yeah.
01:06:35I tried to stop her.
01:06:36I was too drunk, and also confused.
01:06:46I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
01:06:50You put our relationship on edge.
01:06:52I'm so sorry, I'll do everything it takes to make this right.
01:07:00Please, don't give up on us.
01:07:08I need some space.
01:07:11Please, just...
01:07:13leave me alone.
01:07:15Samantha, found anything?
01:07:37Yes, I got a lead.
01:07:38It's been a challenging investigation,
01:07:41but I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kinsley.
01:07:48I'm listening.
01:07:50He went to the same college with Mia,
01:07:52and he developed an obsession over her everything.
01:07:57He's been stalking your life,
01:07:59collecting information,
01:08:00and attempting to get her.
01:08:03This is insane.
01:08:05How did he head so close to us?
01:08:07He used virus, illnesses, and keep a low profile,
01:08:12which made it challenging to track him.
01:08:15But we've identified his patterns and his current location.
01:08:20I'd advise involving the authorities
01:08:22and getting a restraining order against him.
01:08:27Thank you, Samantha.
01:08:28I 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.
01:08:41I'll take care of her,
01:08:43and it's time for me to take control.
01:08:44It's time to tell the truth, Richard.
01:09:06Don't you think?
01:09:08Who 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,
01:09:14I will call the cops on you.
01:09:17Fine.
01:09:19Fine.
01:09:20It was Victoria.
01:09:22Victoria.
01:09:23How did she convince you to do this?
01:09:29She told me about your contract marriage.
01:09:33She told me you don't even care about Mia.
01:09:38She promised to help me get Mia back
01:09:40after she gets you back.
01:09:44You were manipulated, Richard.
01:09:47You're such a clown.
01:09:57James.
01:09:59I've been seeing you.
01:10:01I thought someone would never want to see me again, huh?
01:10:08Miss Morgan.
01:10:11Victoria.
01:10:13I want answers.
01:10:15Why did you hire Richard to stalk us?
01:10:20Richard?
01:10:23Never heard any Richard in my life.
01:10:26I know it was you.
01:10:28He told me everything.
01:10:29Okay.
01:10:34It was me.
01:10:37But I did it for us.
01:10:41For us?
01:10:43I don't know there is an us.
01:10:52I've always loved you, Jimmy.
01:10:55I just want to be back together with you.
01:10:57Here is the plan.
01:11:09We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
01:11:14We are professionals.
01:11:18We know how to cover our tracks.
01:11:22Good.
01:11:24And remember,
01:11:26I want her unharmed.
01:11:30This is just
01:11:31to make James realized
01:11:34he belongs to me.
01:11:35We understand.
01:11:40You can't watch one.
01:11:41We understand.
01:11:41You can't watch one.
01:11:43good.
01:11:53Good.
01:11:53Well...
01:11:54we know in and ready for this time.
01:11:54We can't work for him.
01:11:55Good.
01:11:56Good.
01:11:57Good.
01:11:58Good.
01:11:59Good.
01:12:01Good.
01:12:02Good.
01:12:03Good.
01:12:05Good.
01:12:05Good.
01:12:06Good.
01:12:07Good.
01:12:07Good.
01:12:08Good.
01:12:09Good.
01:12:10Good.
01:12:10Good.
01:12:11Good.
01:12:11Good.
01:12:11My, my, Mia, what a tangled web we're with.
01:12:27It's me, Victoria.
01:12:31What do you want?
01:12:33I warned you to walk away, but you just wouldn't listen.
01:12:37So 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.
01:12:53James wants nothing to do with you.
01:12:57We'll see about that.
01:13:00You can't control other people's feelings.
01:13:05You're such a bunny.
01:13:07Baby, Jamie, why did you have a bet?
01:13:12Why else he would choose you over me?
01:13:15What we have is real, and 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.
01:13:28It's not a negotiation, it's a demand.
01:13:31James and I are married, and there's nothing you can do about it.
01:13:40Don't be too confident.
01:13:43Just yet.
01:13:44Mia!
01:13:44Hi, Jimmy.
01:13:55What's the hurry?
01:13:58You 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.
01:14:12You've got one minute, James.
01:14:17Your precious, contract wife, or the woman who's loved you all alone.
01:14:27Victoria.
01:14:27Why are you doing this?
01:14:33You're risking your own life.
01:14:36You just never believed that I truly loved you, right?
01:14:40I won't even have a life after tonight.
01:14:44But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:14:48Please, put the gun down.
01:14:58You don't want to end up like this.
01:15:01Mia is the only one in love.
01:15:18Hey, we're sober now.
01:15:22We're safe.
01:15:24I was so scared, James.
01:15:28I thought I'd never see you again.
01:15:32I know.
01:15:33I was scared, too.
01:15:35But here we are.
01:15:38And I'll always protect you.
01:15:41You mean the world to me.
01:15:44I love you, James.
01:15:46I love you, too.
01:15:48I love you.
01:15:52Why?
01:15:54Why did you betray me?
01:15:58I never wanted to hurt you.
01:16:01I was ever in the last control.
01:16:05I didn't know how to handle it, so...
01:16:09I decided not to tell you, and I'm so sorry.
01:16:13You should have trusted me, James.
01:16:15But I'm the kind of woman you can fight with.
01:16:22You scared me.
01:16:23You scared me.
01:16:23I'm the one.
01:16:24I'm the one.
01:16:25You scared me.
01:16:27Are you okay?
01:16:47You scared the hell out of me.
01:16:50It's okay.
01:16:52I feel better now.
01:16:53I'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?
01:17:25What did you just say?
01:17:28Well, I've been having some fainting incidents recently, so...
01:17:35I went to the hospital by myself, and...
01:17:40It looks like in eight months, you'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, with the baby coming, and the incidents behind us,
01:18:20I think it's time we come clean to our parents.
01:18:25They deserve to know the truth.
01:18:28And we have to tell them they have a grandchild on the way.
01:18:33You're right, Mia.
01:18:34It's time to be honest with her.
01:18:43I'm so happy.
01:18:46You know, Mia, I was thinking,
01:18:48I 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
01:18:58and my sense of beauty.
01:19:01But, as 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, our journey,
01:19:15it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:19:18Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:19:21And maybe, just maybe,
01:19:23we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:19:25Breakfast in bed for 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.
01:19:48I believe in us, James.
01:19:53We've gone through a lot of challenges
01:19:56and 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, Mia.
01:20:12It doesn't matter how angry they get
01:20:14upon hearing the news.
01:20:15We'll face it together.
01:20:24Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:20:34Our marriage started with a light to you, Ellen.
