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

01:02:59information leads on Richard Kingsley I'm listening he went to the same college
01:03:06with Mia and he developed an obsession over her everything it's been stalking your life
01:03:12collecting information and attempting to get her this is insane how did he get so
01:03:20close to us he used a virus illnesses and keep a low profile which made it
01:03:26challenging to track him but we've identified his patterns and his
01:03:30current location I'd advise involving the authorities and getting a
01:03:35restraining order against him thank you Samantha I appreciate your dedication

01:09:54i was so scared James
01:09:57i thought i'd never see you again
01:09:59I know. I was scared too. But here we are. And I'll always protect you. You mean the world to me.
01:10:10I love you James.
01:10:13I love you too.
01:10:18Why? Why did you betray me?
01:10:22I never wanted to hurt you. I was hurt and I lost control. I didn't know how to handle it so I decided not to tell you and I'm so sorry.
01:10:37You should have trusted me James. I'm the kind of woman you can fight with.
01:10:47Mia? Mia?
01:10:52Are you okay? You scared the hell out of me.
01:11:10It's okay. I feel better now. I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:11:17I guess tonight's events took a lot out of me.
01:11:24I'm so sorry for everything that has happened. I love you.
01:11:31And I guess carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:11:38What? What did you just say?
01:11:44Well, I've been having some fainting incidents recently so I went to the hospital by myself and it looks like in eight months you're going to become a dad.
01:12:01What? You're pregnant? Oh my God. I can't believe. I had no idea. You should have told me earlier. I can't believe we're becoming parents. This is the most exciting moment in my life.
01:12:22Why? I knew you would be happy. James, with the baby coming and the incidents behind us, I think it's time we come clean to our parents. They deserve to know the truth. And we have to tell them they have a grandchild on the way.
01:12:43You're right, Mia. It's time to be honest with them.
01:12:52I'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. But as long as the little one is healthy, I'm satisfied.
01:13:13Never been more excited about the future.
01:13:16Me 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.
01:13:38Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:13:41Oh my God. Are you trying to spoil me?
01:13:45Maybe I am. You deserve it.
01:13:48This looks amazing. I love the nuggets.
01:13:51I believe in us, James.
01:13:55We've gone through a lot of challenges and come out even stronger.
01:14:02Tonight is the last step for us to become a real couple.
01:14:09I'm lucky to have you here by my side, Mia.
01:14:12It doesn't matter how angry they get upon hearing the news.
01:14:17We'll face it together.
01:14:22Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:14:32Our marriage started with a like-to-new apology.
01:14:36And?
01:14:37It was a business arrangement, but over time, we fell in love with each other. We want to make it real.
01:14:50And we'd like to have your blessing for real this time.
01:14:54What?
01:14:56Well, 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.
01:15:15Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:15:18I'll always be there for her.
01:15:19And we have a new member coming to the family soon.
01:15:28Do you?
01:15:29No, no.
01:15:30No, no.
01:15:31I'm not with my family soon.
01:15:32No, no.
01:15:33I am not with my family soon.
01:15:34I'm not with my family anymore.
01:15:35I'm not with my family now.
01:15:36We'll be there for a very soon.
01:15:37But I'm definitely going on the family.
01:15:39Do you think you're part of your family?
01:15:40Yes, yes.
01:15:41You guys are the great family?
01:15:43You guys are the great family.
