00:00:00We had a boyfriend? Interesting.
00:00:09I can't believe we did that.
00:00:13Mia, will you marry me?
00:00:15Yes!
00:00:17Oh my god!
00:00:20I can sing to.
00:00:23Perhaps this will help you to remember?
00:00:31I thought as much.
00:00:33It's me.
00:00:35Your beloved mother?
00:00:36She would never find out.
00:00:41Now this is what we're talking about, James.
00:01:01Is anyone here?
00:01:04What do you want from me?
00:01:16It's time to tell the truth, don't you think?
00:01:19Please, put the gun down.
00:01:28You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:31Mia is the only one in love.
00:01:49Yes.
00:01:59Mack-Alan, meet.
00:02:03Marriage, suffocating.
00:02:08Tell me about it.
00:02:12Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:02:16Family pressures, right?
00:02:17Right?
00:02:19Wanna talk?
00:02:25My family have been on my case for years.
00:02:28It's likely they have already chosen my future spouse.
00:02:35My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:02:43I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:02:48I'm Mia. Pleasure to meet you.
00:02:54It's our endless battle.
00:02:59To my new comrade.
00:03:15James, right?
00:03:17Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:19Mia, must be fate.
00:03:22That or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:27Scotch. Neat.
00:03:28Got it.
00:03:29How are things going on your end?
00:03:34My mom calls me every single day to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:03:42And what was your response?
00:03:43Um, I said yes just to stop her calls, but I don't think there's anyone.
00:03:50You?
00:03:52My parents are obsessed with my kids. Even though I'm still single.
00:03:57Splash please.
00:03:58Here.
00:03:59To our endless battle.
00:04:09Mia, I've been thinking, wouldn't we help each other out here?
00:04:11What do you mean?
00:04:12Maybe we can be the plus one for each other.
00:04:13So our families will stay together.
00:04:14I'm sorry.
00:04:15I'm sorry.
00:04:16I'm sorry.
00:04:17I'm sorry.
00:04:18I'm sorry.
00:04:19I'm sorry.
00:04:20I'm sorry.
00:04:21I'm sorry.
00:04:22I'm sorry.
00:04:23I'm sorry.
00:04:24I'm sorry.
00:04:25I'm sorry.
00:04:26I'm sorry.
00:04:27There's no doubt in the world.
00:04:28What do you mean?
00:04:29Maybe we can be the plus one for each other.
00:04:32So our families will stop pushing us.
00:04:36Quick boyfriend?
00:04:37Interesting.
00:04:38Only once.
00:04:39And we can be free for a long time.
00:04:45What do you mean?
00:04:48Maybe we can be the plus one for each other.
00:04:50It's not what I usually do, but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:04:57This night is just getting more interesting.
00:05:01Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:05:04Not yet. Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:07Okay, boyfriend. Why don't you introduce yourself more to me?
00:05:12Well, I own a real estate company. We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:18You sure look like a boss. The scotch gives it away.
00:05:23Alright, enough about it. Tell me something about yourself.
00:05:27Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner.
00:05:31Not to show off, but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:05:37Wait, are you Mia Davis? That Mia Davis?
00:05:42In the flesh, darling.
00:05:48I understand the emergence, but this is not how negotiation works.
00:05:53I need this to be done in three days. Our investors are not going to wait for us.
00:05:58Anderson, I assure you, we are doing everything we can.
00:06:03I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:06:06We won't let you down.
00:06:08We won't let you down.
00:06:09We won't let you down.
00:06:13We won't let you down.
00:06:14We won't let you down.
00:06:15We won't let you down.
00:06:19Hey there.
00:06:39Mia, what a pleasant surprise.
00:06:41How did you have time to call me today?
00:06:43Is this a bad time?
00:06:45You sound like you've had a rough day.
00:06:47It was one of those days.
00:06:49Well, sounds like you could use a break.
00:06:53How about a drink to unwind later?
00:06:56Let me check.
00:07:00Yeah, I can really use that.
00:07:02I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:07:12Knowing my mom, she'll definitely want you to stay over.
00:07:15So, we'll probably spend three days in one bedroom.
00:07:20After that, we'll be free to go back to our regular lives.
00:07:23Sounds like a plan.
00:07:34Here we go, James.
00:07:35Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:07:39Got it.
00:07:40Mom, I'm home.
00:07:48Mia!
00:07:51It's been so long.
00:07:53Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:07:56Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Davis.
00:07:58Mia's told you so much about it.
00:07:59Please, call me Maria.
00:08:02Common name.
00:08:04Help yourself with some cookies.
00:08:05Before I finish dressing the turkey.
00:08:10So far, so good.
00:08:12Let's keep it up.
00:08:20You know, I'm actually enjoying this day.
00:08:23Me too.
00:08:24I feel like we're a real couple.
00:08:28So, you two.
00:08:31Tell me how you met.
00:08:34Of course.
00:08:37It was a charming little buffet on the 3rd Avenue.
00:08:39You know, we're sitting alone, reading a chat for each other.
00:08:43It's a good reason striking out the conversation.
00:08:46Oh, how I met you.
00:08:49I'm so happy you guys, you met each other.
00:08:53It's been too long for me to go for so long.
00:08:57So, I was so happy.
00:08:58Please follow me one more time.
00:09:14Bye-bye.
00:09:15Bye-bye.
00:09:15Bye-bye.
00:09:17Your mom's here.
00:09:22What do we do?
00:09:25Quick, come in here.
00:09:32Come in.
00:09:37Good morning, lovebirds.
00:09:39I can see you had a lovely night.
00:09:41Stop it, Mom. You're making it awkward.
00:09:45Look at you, all glowing.
00:09:51I'll do everything for my princess.
00:09:53Okay, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:09:59Okay, okay, just don't take too long.
00:10:01And shouldn't you get back to the city today?
00:10:04I have to say it was quite a play in your house.
00:10:15It was perfect. They all bought it.
00:10:18Remember how your mom almost got us in the bedroom.
00:10:21My heart was about to jump out when I heard that knock.
00:10:25But we made it.
00:10:27So, has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit?
00:10:33They just won't let the topic off you.
00:10:36Same here.
00:10:38But now, my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding.
00:10:42I'm gonna lose my mind.
00:10:47Let's just share the night we have right now.
00:10:50Well, we still can.
00:10:52You know, James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:11:08I feel the same.
00:11:10I know there's beauty in commitment, but...
00:11:14Shouldn't it be our own life choice to make?
00:11:16Exactly.
00:11:18I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends.
00:11:22Telling me to rush into a life?
00:11:26Raising kids in a house?
00:11:28And giving up all of my freedoms?
00:11:30No, thank you.
00:11:36Wait.
00:11:38I have an idea.
00:11:40It might help both of us.
00:11:42I'm all ears.
00:11:44Thank King.
00:11:46What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:11:50Thank King.
00:11:52What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:11:54Thank King.
00:11:56What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:12:00Please elaborate.
00:12:02What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:12:06A contract marriage?
00:12:10Yeah.
00:12:12Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life.
00:12:16We'll make a legal contract with...
00:12:18Maybe separate bedrooms?
00:12:20Financial terms and so on?
00:12:22Oh.
00:12:24No feelings should be included.
00:12:26This is huge.
00:12:28I need to think about it.
00:12:30I know.
00:12:32It's not something to do with the person who mutates on it.
00:12:36But think about this.
00:12:38The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:12:42So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:12:46It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:12:50It's just...
00:12:52Like I said, love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:12:58They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:13:04Get it Mia, I do.
00:13:06But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:13:08And we need to adapt to that.
00:13:10Our life won't change the bit.
00:13:12Just more freedom with this contract.
00:13:14But...
00:13:16What about the no emotions term?
00:13:18Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:13:22It's necessary.
00:13:24We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:13:28This will make things difficult.
00:13:33You do make a good point.
00:13:36I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:13:41But...
00:13:42We need to set boundaries.
00:13:44Conditions.
00:13:46We'll stick with friendship.
00:13:48Contractual partners.
00:13:50Agreed, Mia.
00:13:52I'll write the legal contract.
00:13:54And we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:13:57Oh, and one more thing, James.
00:13:59We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this.
00:14:03We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:14:08Absolutely.
00:14:10Our contract won't affect any of our lives.
00:14:13We can make it done tomorrow.
00:14:15While our squad will take care of everything.
00:14:19Deal.
00:14:21I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:14:34Yeah.
00:14:35We've got that formula.
00:14:37Let's go through this contract together.
00:14:41Okay.
00:14:42Separate bedrooms.
00:14:43Uh...
00:14:44No feelings clause.
00:14:45Um...
00:14:46And it's...
00:14:47Clear financial terms.
00:14:48Yep.
00:14:49We'll be commuted to each other from now on.
00:14:52We'll be commuted to each other from now on.
00:15:06We could help.
00:15:07We can't help.
00:15:08We could help.
00:15:09It's worth $100,000.
00:15:10No.
00:15:11We could help.
00:15:12That might help.
00:15:13You know how to help.
00:15:14No.
00:15:15We could help.
00:15:16But we're...
00:15:17Not that we're gonna help.
00:15:18Okay.
00:15:19We could help.
00:15:20We could help.
00:15:21That's not what you can help.
00:15:22We could help.
00:15:23But we could help.
00:15:24And we could help.
00:15:25We could help.
00:15:26I can't believe we did that.
00:15:33So, what's next?
00:15:36We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:15:39I'll propose to you in your apartment and send pictures to our families.
00:15:44Well, it's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:15:49Yes, then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it.
00:15:53It's all part of the plan.
00:15:55I really want to get this out of my head.
00:15:58Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:16:10Did you turn the camera on?
00:16:13Yeah, it's working.
00:16:19Mia, there is something I'm going to ask you tonight.
00:16:22Yes?
00:16:25Mia, will you marry me?
00:16:29Oh my God, James, yes!
00:16:32Oh my God!
00:16:37I can't believe we just did that.
00:16:49It's all part of the plan.
00:16:50I can't believe we just did that.
00:17:02It's all part of the plan.
00:17:04We'll party with them then.
00:17:05This is our first big show on the stage.
00:17:19We have to make sure that we look like a happy couple in front of everyone.
00:17:25of course.
00:17:26Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:17:30Another successful play.
00:17:31It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:17:37I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:17:52Focus on the bigger picture.
00:17:53Neither of us wants a real marriage right now.
00:17:55And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:17:59Let's get some rest.
00:18:00Good night.
00:18:01Good night.
00:18:02Good night.
00:18:03Good night.
00:18:04Good night.
00:18:05Good night.
00:18:06Good night.
00:18:07Good night.
00:18:08Good night.
00:18:09Good night.
00:18:11Good night.
00:18:12Good night.
00:18:13Good night.
00:18:15Good night.
00:18:17Good night.
00:18:19Remember, let me tell you.
00:18:21You're right there.
00:18:22Good night.
00:18:38Mia, are you okay?
00:18:42Please, open up. Talk to me.
00:18:48I can't do this, James.
00:18:50At the wedding, I saw everyone's faces.
00:18:54They were so happy and blessed us with their whole hearts.
00:19:00I feel like I betrayed every one of them.
00:19:05But we are already here.
00:19:07There is no way of going back.
00:19:11I saw their faces.
00:19:13They believed in us.
00:19:15It was all a huge lie.
00:19:18I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:19:23It's not easy for me either.
00:19:26But we have to hang in there.
00:19:28We can't let them down right now.
00:19:30I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:19:36I wish that too, Mia.
00:19:37But I promise, we can get through it.
00:19:39I promise.
00:19:41I promise.
00:19:50I promise.
00:19:51I will stick to Mia, but I promise we can't get through it. I promise.
00:20:18James, I have something that I want to say.
00:20:21Mia, we agreed. No feelings.
00:20:34I know, but...
00:20:45Compliments of a friend.
00:20:46Please, enjoy your evening.
00:21:00James, what's this?
00:21:02Yes.
00:21:04Yes.
00:21:06Yes.
00:21:14Yes.
00:21:16Yes.
00:21:47James?
00:21:57Where are you?
00:21:59Right here, Mia.
00:22:01Is there any candle?
00:22:08James.
00:22:14So, any clue on that note?
00:22:17I'm sorry.
00:22:31Hello?
00:22:37I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you.
00:22:39A gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:22:50Someone knows our secret.
00:22:53What should we do?
00:22:54You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:23:18It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:23:27I know.
00:23:28And I'm glad that I met you.
00:23:30You're such a special woman.
00:23:32And I've never met anyone like you before.
00:23:39You too.
00:23:41I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:23:52Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:23:56It's not a fairy tale.
00:24:06It's a bloody reality.
00:24:09But I still like it.
00:24:13It's our story.
00:24:14What's happening?
00:24:35We're stuck.
00:24:42What do we do?
00:24:44I need to be there on time.
00:24:47Let's call the building.
00:24:49They should come and fix this.
00:24:51There's no signal.
00:25:01We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:25:05We won't.
00:25:06Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:25:11We just need to be patient.
00:25:17What's that for?
00:25:18Just to give us some strength.
00:25:21Friends can hug too.
00:25:23Okay.
00:25:34I can't believe this is happening.
00:25:38Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:25:44You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:25:48James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:25:56They'd be so disappointed.
00:25:59We're doing everything we can.
00:26:02So far, we did good.
00:26:04Everyone is happy.
00:26:05I just think about how far we've come.
00:26:11Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:26:20It's like an endless spy game.
00:26:22I know.
00:26:24But we're in this together.
00:26:27We chose this to take control of our life.
00:26:30And now we are tied together by fate.
00:26:33We are one.
00:26:34I suddenly feel so relieved.
00:26:42Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:26:47I know.
00:26:48I always rush to my friends after a bed day.
00:26:50And here I am with a dearest friend.
00:26:52And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom, now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:27:01Mine too.
00:27:02My mom called the other day, but when she saw you walk out from the bath, she hung up as
00:27:07soon as she could.
00:27:08But of course, she made fun of us.
00:27:11Or maybe next time I can show up even sexier, and then she can make fun of you some more.
00:27:18I'm sexy now.
00:27:32Maybe we should talk about what just happened?
00:27:35The moment was...
00:27:37I enjoyed it.
00:27:39There's something I never thought I would say.
00:27:42But it's not what we expected.
00:27:45I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:27:48Mia, I have to tell you.
00:27:50I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:27:55I care about you more than I should.
00:27:57I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:28:03I'm in love with you.
00:28:04I actually feel the exact same way.
00:28:16I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:28:20Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection, I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:28:27Let's tell everyone the truth.
00:28:31I'm sure they will understand.
00:28:33They may be mad at first, but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:28:36Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:28:39I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right.
00:28:42It should be our priority right now.
00:28:44James, our parents aside, I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:29:04Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:29:07Mia, I have no idea.
00:29:11But I hired an investigator, hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:29:16I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:29:25We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:29:28This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight, bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:29:34We chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:29:45And yet, I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:29:49We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:29:53We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage.
00:29:56And we'll for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:30:04Who's there?
00:30:29Who's there?
00:30:29Anyone here?
00:30:43What do you want from me?
00:30:52You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:30:55Where am I?
00:30:58What did I do?
00:30:59I assure you, there's a misunderstanding.
00:31:03Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:31:07Don't worry, you will know what we want soon enough.
00:31:09I just need you to behave right now.
00:31:12We can talk things out.
00:31:14You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:31:17I will cooperate.
00:31:19If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:31:23Just let me go.
00:31:29Hello?
00:31:30Hello?
00:31:30Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:31:51Maya's life depends on you.
00:31:53Maya's life depends on you.
00:31:54Don't bother.
00:31:55You won't recognize who I am.
00:31:57What matters is, Maya.
00:31:59You have 24 hours to prepare $5 million if you want to see her alive.
00:32:04Who are you and what do you want?
00:32:06That is not a question for me to answer.
00:32:09Just do as I said.
00:32:11I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:32:14That's not my concern.
00:32:16Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:32:20I need to be sure she's okay.
00:32:22Let me talk to her.
00:32:23That won't be happening.
00:32:24I swear, if you dare to touch her, I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:32:39I don't know what to do, Scott.
00:32:41They're asking for $5 million in 24 hours.
00:32:43I can't lose her.
00:32:45We'll figure it out, James.
00:32:47I'll do everything that I can.
00:32:50I can't lose Mia.
00:32:51I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:32:59We found each other the one we have been looking for our whole life.
00:33:03Oh, no.
00:33:04This was not meant to happen.
00:33:06I have to find her.
00:33:08I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:33:10We will.
00:33:12But who will commit such a horrible crime?
00:33:16Anyone ring the bell?
00:33:18Mia wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:33:19I can assure you.
00:33:20This has something to do with that blackmail we received.
00:33:26Blackmail?
00:33:28Someone has been stalking us.
00:33:30They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:33:33Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:33:40Mark.
00:33:41Please.
00:33:41I need your help.
00:33:43Mia's life is in danger.
00:33:44I wish I could, James.
00:33:47Five million is a lot.
00:33:50I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:33:53Save it, Mark.
00:33:54When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help you.
00:33:57You're a fucking nuisance.
00:33:59I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:34:02I might be able to catch this out.
00:34:19Thank you for calling CPM Bank.
00:34:29Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:34:32I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:34:35I want to cash it out immediately.
00:34:36I understand the urgency.
00:34:40Please give us a moment.
00:34:49Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:34:51It's for an urgent matter.
00:34:53Sure.
00:34:54Since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:34:58I will be there in 20 minutes.
00:35:00Please get the cash ready by then.
00:35:02Yes, sir.
00:35:03I'll know you.
00:35:04Great.
00:35:04Is it ready?
00:35:21Yes.
00:35:22Give me the location.
00:35:34I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:35:43Do anything to keep you safe.
00:35:45We're in this together.
00:35:50I thought I'd never see you again.
00:35:53I swear to you.
00:35:55I'll protect you with memory.
00:35:56I want to give you both an update.
00:36:11We are investigating the lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:36:15Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers and bringing them to justice.
00:36:21Thank you, detective.
00:36:24We appreciate your efforts.
00:36:32I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:36:38It's not your fault.
00:36:40We'll get through this.
00:36:43Here we go.
00:36:43It's been a while since we had a pissy room like this.
00:37:08Yeah, it's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:37:26Mia, you won't believe this.
00:37:30What is it?
00:37:31A company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:37:36They love my pitch.
00:37:38Oh my God, James, that's amazing.
00:37:42I'm going to call my employees to announce this news.
00:37:47And an after party later?
00:37:50You know me too well.
00:37:54Will you pick me up later for a little celebration?
00:37:58Absolutely.
00:37:58I'll meet you at home after work.
00:38:00Yes, I need you to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:38:26We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:38:29Wow, that's fantastic.
00:38:31Wow, that's fantastic.
00:38:32I will gather them.
00:38:48Thank you all for your time.
00:38:49I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:38:55Before I finish, I'm just curious.
00:38:58Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:39:01Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:39:05She said you're an old friend.
00:39:08An old friend?
00:39:10I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:39:14You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:39:18For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:39:20Along with the work done.
00:39:37You're doing what for the work done.
00:39:38You watch.
00:39:39For now, if you're not looking for it, you'll find out.
00:39:41You're a teacher.
00:39:41You're an old friend.
00:39:42What's wrong, James?
00:40:00What could that be?
00:40:04I don't know.
00:40:06But we are going to find out soon.
00:40:12Samantha, have you found anything?
00:40:20I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:40:22Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:40:25James, we've made some significant progress.
00:40:29I think we are closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:40:35I'm only yours.
00:40:36Details, please.
00:40:37We managed to trace the source of the blackmail attempts.
00:40:41We found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:40:45Richard Kingsley?
00:40:46Never heard that name.
00:40:48And why would he do this?
00:40:49We are still walking on that part.
00:40:52We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:40:55Thank you, Samantha.
00:40:57Keep me posted on any updates.
00:40:59I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:41:02Of course, we are so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:41:21I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:41:24I tried to call you many times and you didn't answer.
00:41:27I thought something happened to you.
00:41:28I'm so sorry.
00:41:31I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:41:34Everything's okay.
00:41:35I'm just glad you're okay.
00:41:38I'm safe and sound.
00:41:40Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:41:44Samantha, the private detective I heart,
00:41:46is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:41:49I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:41:52I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:41:57You know, it's moments like these
00:42:01that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:42:05Contract or not.
00:42:07I feel the same way, Mia.
00:42:10I won't ever want to lose you.
00:42:14I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:42:17It may not be to everyone's taste,
00:42:19but it means a lot to me.
00:42:21It's wonderful.
00:42:26You're really talented.
00:42:28Thank you so much for your support.
00:42:31It means the world to me.
00:42:46Hello?
00:42:47James, I trust you are well.
00:42:52I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled
00:42:55regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:42:59Sure.
00:42:59Where should we meet?
00:43:03I can't really need some work to make it.
00:43:06That's great.
00:43:08Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:43:11I'll be at your office at 3 p.m.
00:43:14and we can go over all the details.
00:43:17Thank you for your recognition.
00:43:19I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:43:21Hi.
00:43:25I'm calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:43:46My apologies, James. I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events, but our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:43:58Wow, I was not aware of that.
00:44:01Maybe you can catch up with each other. It's a great opportunity. She surely is very excited about this.
00:44:16I'm James Turner. You're...
00:44:46Jimmy, don't you remember me?
00:44:52I'm sorry, but I can see too.
00:44:59Perhaps this will help you to remember.
00:45:04I thought as much. It's me, your beloved mother.
00:45:14Mabel! What the...
00:45:20You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:45:32I know, babe. I can't believe you're graduating. I'm a date fly.
00:45:38Life after college. It's a bit scary, but I'm so excited. I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:45:46I'm sure nothing can stop you from the goal. I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:45:52Yeah, I know. Did you lock the door?
00:45:56Of course I did.
00:45:58Hope you won't change after you live.
00:46:00I won't.
00:46:02Hope you won't change after you live.
00:46:04I won't.
00:46:08Hope you won't.
00:46:24I won't.
00:46:39Mabelle?
00:46:41James, I can't explain.
00:46:44I'm so sorry I have to find out like this, but Mabelle and I have been together for a while now.
00:46:54Mabelle? What are you doing here?
00:47:05It's Victoria. And for business, of course, darling.
00:47:11What are you playing here? What's up with all the charade?
00:47:18Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James. You know, for the old times' sake.
00:47:29Old times' sake? You cheated on me with my best friend. What do you want?
00:47:35People change, James. And... I just can't let you off my mind.
00:47:44How did you become the president of this company? What are you hiding?
00:47:48A woman like me can get whatever I want was just a little trick.
00:47:55See? I helped you got this project. I've missed you, James. Missed us.
00:48:03We should be together. I'm the only one who can help you.
00:48:09No, Victoria. I won't let you manipulate. Not again.
00:48:21You have always been a challenge, James.
00:48:24This is not how I imaged our reunion. If you come here to talk about that project, let's get to it. Otherwise, you should leave.
00:48:32Don't be so harsh. If you want business, we'll talk about business. Let's get professional.
00:48:43James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our past. I trust you and your ability. I know what you're capable of.
00:48:54Really?
00:48:56Oh, please. Put our history behind, will you? I pay responsibility to my company too, okay? I didn't take this job for fun.
00:49:08Fine. Let's be clear. I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:49:17Agree, James. We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:49:26Scott, you won't believe what just happened. What's the matter?
00:49:50Wait, Mabel? Your ex-girlfriend from college? You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:50:06That's the one. She's now going by Victoria and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:50:12She wants my help on a project. I can't shake feeling that there's more to it.
00:50:18I think we have to wait for her move. I need to find out what's really going on. But I can't do it alone. Will you help me, Scott?
00:50:28Of course. Happy to help. She wants you involved in a real estate project. But it's more than just business. I'm sure of it.
00:50:36I have the same feeling. Nothing is ever clear about her. I don't want Mia to worry about this. She's working on an important artwork. And I promised I'll protect her.
00:50:47Of course. I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:50:52Thanks, man. What should I do without you?
00:51:06James, are you okay? You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:51:10Sorry to make your word, babe. Just stuff with work, you know.
00:51:16Alright. It's just that we've been through a lot together. You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:51:23If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:51:28Babe, it shouldn't worry you. I can handle it myself. Trust me.
00:51:34Okay. Just remember, I'm always here for you. If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm here.
00:51:47Thank you, Mia. You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to me.
00:51:53James, we're one. There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:51:58Hi, Jimmy.
00:52:08Victoria. What an unexpected surprise. I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:52:17I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:52:21I've moved on with my life. I have Mia and she means everything to me.
00:52:26Oh, please, James. You wouldn't let a college flinch cloud your judgement after all these years. Right?
00:52:35Spare me the details. You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:52:40What did you expect me to do, James? You were leaving college and I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:52:49I need someone to back me up. I was a child.
00:52:52I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria. I got over here a long time ago.
00:53:00So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:53:03Come back here, dummy.
00:53:05I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:53:17James, I never said I wanted to be your wife. I just want to be in your life.
00:53:23And you are calm with us to check the new site for our project. It's required by our partnership contracts.
00:53:36I've got a business trip coming up. It's a sudden opportunity and I need to leave for a few days.
00:53:51Oh, really? That's unexpected. When do you leave?
00:53:54Tomorrow morning. I know. It's a short notice. But I'll be back before you know it.
00:54:02Alright, James. Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
00:54:08I will. I'll miss you so much.
00:54:10James. You've had quite a bit. Is everything all right?
00:54:35is everything all right?
00:54:37Is everything all right?
00:54:45Everyone is fine. Do you see?
00:54:46Believe me.
00:54:48Everything's fine, just leave me.
00:55:05You've had enough tonight, James.
00:55:08Let me make sure you're comfortable.
00:55:12Doria, what are you doing?
00:55:16Don't you worry, we'll have a little chat.
00:55:20You're safe with me.
00:55:23What do you want?
00:55:26You, James. I want you.
00:55:30I want all of you.
00:55:32Your body, your love, and even your soul.
00:55:38Stop it. I'm married.
00:55:46I don't mind.
00:55:48Or maybe this makes you want even more.
00:55:52You enjoy it, don't you?
00:55:56I know exactly how to please you.
00:56:00Yeah, I can do it, darling.
00:56:04Oh, come on, darling.
00:56:06We all know about your little contract.
00:56:11Besides, she would never find out.
00:56:17You know this is what we're talking about, James?
00:56:21What the hell happened?
00:56:40I can't believe I'll ever get this far.
00:56:43Don't, baby. What's wrong?
00:56:47Victoria, this is a mistake.
00:56:50Did you set me up?
00:56:52Where are you laying next to me?
00:56:54Oh, you are just so energetic.
00:56:58Stop the games. I'm serious.
00:57:01I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do.
00:57:04Well, let's say we had a stunning night and I saved some pictures for members.
00:57:22Delete those pictures right now.
00:57:27Why don't you come here and make me?
00:57:29You're playing with fire.
00:57:32I won't be blackmailed or manipulated.
00:57:35Delete them. Now.
00:57:42You're just no fun, James.
00:57:49I want you to step away from my life.
00:57:51This can't happen again.
00:57:54We'll see about that.
00:57:59Oh, Jamie, Jamie.
00:58:11You can never run away from me.
00:58:17Oh, my God. James, you're home.
00:58:20I miss you too, babe. It's good to be home.
00:58:23Tell me everything about your trip.
00:58:25It was a normal business trip. Nothing special.
00:58:29Let's not talk about it. I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
00:58:33Okay, sure.
00:58:36I'm just so glad you're home.
00:58:38Hello?
00:58:39Hello?
00:58:40Hello, Mia.
00:58:41Who's this?
00:58:42I guess Jimmy didn't tell you about me.
00:58:43I'm Victoria, the president of the company James is presently partnering with me.
00:58:47Okay.
00:58:48Okay.
00:58:49How may I help you?
00:58:50You see, Jimmy didn't tell you about me.
00:58:52I'm Victoria, the president of the company James is presently partnering in.
00:58:54Okay.
00:58:55How may I help you?
00:58:56You see, Jimmy and I have come a long way.
00:58:57And since you're not really married to him, so I guess there is no harm in staying with you.
00:58:58You see, Jimmy and I have come a long way.
00:58:59What do you mean?
00:59:00You see, James is mine.
00:59:01I'm not going to tell you about me.
00:59:02I'm Victoria, the president of the company James is presently partnering in.
00:59:03Okay.
00:59:04How may I help you?
00:59:05You see, Jimmy and I have come a long way.
00:59:06And since you're not really married to him, so I guess there is no harm in stepping it.
00:59:10Okay?
00:59:11What do you mean?
00:59:12You see, James is mine.
00:59:13And mine alone.
00:59:14People will kindly excuse us so we can be together.
00:59:15I will be great.
00:59:16Well, how may I help you?
00:59:17I guess Jimmy didn't tell you about me.
00:59:18I'm Victoria, the president of the company James is presently partnering in.
00:59:19Okay.
00:59:20How may I help you?
00:59:21You see, Jimmy and I have come a long way.
00:59:22And since you're not really married to him, so I guess there is no harm in stepping it.
00:59:29What do you mean?
00:59:30You see, James is mine and mine alone.
00:59:32He will kindly excuse us so we can be together.
00:59:33That will be great.
00:59:34That will be great.
00:59:37He would never like someone like you.
00:59:39Oh, please.
00:59:41He showed lots of love to me not long ago.
00:59:44He surely had no time to think of you.
00:59:47I sent you the pictures.
00:59:49Hope you enjoy them.
00:59:59Impossible.
00:59:59He would never do this to me.
01:00:04Hey, what's wrong?
01:00:13Nothing.
01:00:16How was your day?
01:00:19Oh, it's Azir.
01:00:24Who is Victoria?
01:00:28Victoria?
01:00:29Victoria?
01:00:30Where did you hear that name from?
01:00:33She called me James.
01:00:35She said things.
01:00:38Things...
01:00:40I can't believe.
01:00:45Mia, it's...
01:00:48I can explain.
01:00:50You have to know...
01:00:52You're the one...
01:00:54And the only one I love.
01:00:55Tell me the truth, James.
01:01:01Is she important to you?
01:01:04She's my ex from college.
01:01:16And...
01:01:16Also my current business partner.
01:01:21And what about this?
01:01:22Is this part of your business?
01:01:24Yes.
01:01:24Yes.
01:01:24Yes.
01:01:24We had a businessman.
01:01:35She set me up.
01:01:37I made a mistake.
01:01:40But it's not how it looks like.
01:01:42I love you.
01:01:44And I don't want her to ruin us.
01:01:46Tell me the truth, James.
01:01:50What happened that night?
01:01:56Yeah.
01:01:57I tried to stop her.
01:02:00I was...
01:02:01too drunk and also confused.
01:02:04I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
01:02:11You put our relationship on edge.
01:02:14I'm so sorry.
01:02:16I'll...
01:02:16I'll do everything it takes to make this right.
01:02:20Please, don't give up on us.
01:02:27I need some space.
01:02:30Please, just...
01:02:32Leave me alone.
01:02:50I need some space.
01:02:51Samantha?
01:02:52Found anything?
01:02:53Yes, I got a lead.
01:02:55It's been a challenging investigation.
01:02:57But I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley.
01:03:03I'm listening.
01:03:05He went to the same college with Mia.
01:03:07And he developed an obsession over her everything.
01:03:11He's been stalking your life, collecting information, and attempting to get her.
01:03:17This is insane.
01:03:18How did he get so close to us?
01:03:21He used virus, illnesses, and keep a low profile, which made it challenging to track him.
01:03:28But we've identified his patterns and his current location.
01:03:32I'd advise involving the authorities and getting a restraining order against him.
01:03:38Thank you, Samantha.
01:03:39I appreciate your dedication.
01:03:41You and Mia deserve peace, James.
01:03:43I will continue to monitor the situation.
01:03:45But please take legal action to protect yourself.
01:03:51I'll take care of her when it's time for me to take control.
01:03:54It's time to tell the truth, Richard.
01:04:14Don't you think?
01:04:14Who sent you after us?
01:04:16Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan.
01:04:19If you don't tell the truth, I will call the cops on you.
01:04:23Fine.
01:04:25Fine.
01:04:26It was Victoria.
01:04:28Victoria.
01:04:28How did she convince you to do this?
01:04:34She told me about your contract marriage.
01:04:38She told me you don't even care about Mia.
01:04:42She promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back.
01:04:45You were manipulated, Richard.
01:04:50You're such a clown.
01:05:00James.
01:05:01I've been seeing you.
01:05:05I thought someone never would have seen me again, huh?
01:05:09Missed me already?
01:05:10Victoria, I want answers.
01:05:16Why did you hire Richard to stalk us?
01:05:20Richard?
01:05:22Never heard any Richard in my life.
01:05:25I know it was you.
01:05:27He told me everything.
01:05:31Okay.
01:05:33It was me.
01:05:34But I did it for us.
01:05:39For us?
01:05:40I don't know there is enough.
01:05:49I've always loved you, Jimmy.
01:05:51I just want to be back together with you.
01:06:01Here's the plan.
01:06:04We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
01:06:10We are professionals.
01:06:12We know how to cover our tracks.
01:06:14We know how to cover our tracks.
01:06:16Good.
01:06:17And remember,
01:06:19I want her unharmed.
01:06:23This is just
01:06:24to make James realized
01:06:26he belongs to me.
01:06:30We understand.
01:06:31You get much fun.
01:06:32What?
01:06:48Hello?
01:06:54Who's there?
01:06:59My, my, Mia, what a tangled web we weave.
01:07:14It's me, Victoria.
01:07:17What do you want?
01:07:20I warned you to walk away, but you just wouldn't listen.
01:07:24So I decided to teach you a little lesson.
01:07:27See, you cried.
01:07:32You would never be good enough for James.
01:07:35He'll never get away with this.
01:07:38James wants nothing to do with you.
01:07:41We'll see about that.
01:07:44You can't control other people's feelings.
01:07:48You're such a bunny.
01:07:52Baby, Jimmy, you wanted to have a bet.
01:07:54Why else he would choose you over me?
01:07:57What we have is real, and you need to face the truth.
01:08:03Listen to me carefully, bunny.
01:08:05If you truly care for James, you'll stay away from him.
01:08:09It's not a negotiation, it's a demand.
01:08:13James and I are married, and there's nothing you can do about it.
01:08:17Don't be too confident, just yet.
01:08:30Mia!
01:08:31Hello, Jimmy.
01:08:33What's the hurry?
01:08:34You came as soon as you got the message, huh?
01:08:39I only send you the message to see how much you will sacrifice for Mia.
01:08:44Mia!
01:08:45Let her go.
01:08:47You want me?
01:08:48I'm here.
01:08:50You've got one minute, James.
01:08:52Your precious contract wife, or the woman who's loved you all along.
01:09:02Victoria.
01:09:05Why are you doing this?
01:09:07You're risking your own life.
01:09:10You just never believed that I truly loved you, right?
01:09:13I won't even have a life after tonight.
01:09:17But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:09:26Please, put the gun down.
01:09:30You don't want to end up like this.
01:09:33Mia is the only one I love.
01:09:43Hey, it's over now.
01:09:52We're safe.
01:09:53I was so scared, James.
01:09:57I thought I'd never see you again.
01:10:00I know.
01:10:01I was scared, too.
01:10:03But here we are.
01:10:06And I'll always protect you.
01:10:09You mean the world to me.
01:10:10I love you, James.
01:10:13I love you, too.
01:10:18Why?
01:10:20Why did you betray me?
01:10:23Mia.
01:10:24I never wanted to hurt you.
01:10:27I was hurt, and I lost control.
01:10:30I did not want to offend the man, so...
01:10:34I decided not to tell him that I'm so sorry.
01:10:37You should have trusted me, James.
01:10:40I'm the kind of woman you can fight with.
01:10:47Mia.
01:10:48Mia.
01:10:49Mia.
01:10:49Are you okay?
01:10:58You scared the hell out of me.
01:11:10It's okay.
01:11:11It's okay.
01:11:12I feel better now.
01:11:15I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:11:18I guess tonight's events took a lot out of me.
01:11:22I'm so sorry for everything that has happened.
01:11:28I love you.
01:11:30I'm sorry for the time.
01:11:32You're okay.
01:11:33And I guess carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:11:37What? What did you just say?
01:11:44Well, I've been having some fainting incidents recently so I went to the hospital by myself
01:11:54and it looks like in eight months you're going to become a dad.
01:12:04What? You're pregnant? Oh my god! I can't believe! I had no idea!
01:12:14You should have told me earlier. I can't believe we're becoming parents.
01:12:19This is the most exciting moment in my life.
01:12:22I knew you would be happy. James, with the baby coming and the incidents behind us,
01:12:31I think it's time we come clean to our parents. They deserve to know the truth.
01:12:37And we have to tell them they have a grandchild on the way.
01:12:42You're right, Mia. It's time to be honest with them.
01:12:48I'm so happy.
01:12:54You know, Mia, I was thinking I want a girl. She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:13:00Oh, really? I'm imagining a boy with your intelligence and my sense of beauty.
01:13:08But as long as the little one is healthy, I'm satisfied.
01:13:13I've never been more excited about the future.
01:13:15Me too, James. This journey, our journey, it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:13:23Surprise can be a good thing, right? And maybe, just maybe, we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:13:29Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:13:39Oh, my God. Are you trying to spoil me?
01:13:44Maybe I am. You deserve it.
01:13:46This looks amazing. I love the nuggets.
01:13:50I believe in us, James. We've gone through a lot of challenges and come out even stronger.
01:14:01Tonight is the last step for us to become a real couple.
01:14:07I'm lucky to have you here by my side, Mia.
01:14:11It doesn't matter how angry they get upon hearing the news.
01:14:16We'll face it together.
01:14:22Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:14:31Our marriage started with a light to your quality.
01:14:35And?
01:14:37It was a business arrangement.
01:14:40But, over time, we fell in love with each other.
01:14:46We want to make it real.
01:14:49And we'd like to have your blessing for real this time.
01:14:54Well, your marriage, contract or not, has looked pretty real to me from the very beginning.
01:15:04And I'm glad you guys are brave enough to admit the mistakes.
01:15:10And go on with your real happy marriage life.
01:15:16Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:15:21I'll always be there for her.
01:15:23And we have a new member coming to the family soon.
