00:00:00We had boyfriends? Interesting.
00:00:10I just can't believe we did that.
00:00:15Mia, will you marry me?
00:00:17Yes! Oh my god!
00:00:22I can sing to you.
00:00:26Perhaps it won't happen to me.
00:00:34I've got as much.
00:00:36It's me.
00:00:38Will the lock went back?
00:00:40She would never find out.
00:00:45Now that is what we're talking about, James.
00:01:08Is anyone here?
00:01:11What 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.
00:01:37You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:41Mia is the only one in love.
00:02:06What?
00:02:11Mack Allen.
00:02:13Neat.
00:02:17Marriage.
00:02:19Suffocating.
00:02:22Tell me about it.
00:02:26Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:02:31Kind of the pressures, right?
00:02:33Jane?
00:02:35Wanna talk?
00:02:42My family have been on my case for years.
00:02:45It's like they have already chosen my future spouse.
00:02:52My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:03:02I'm James.
00:03:03James Therner, by the way.
00:03:07I'm Mia.
00:03:09Pleasure to meet you.
00:03:13It's our endless battle.
00:03:19It's my new comrade.
00:03:22It's our endless battle.
00:03:25It's my new comrade.
00:03:37James, right?
00:03:39Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:42Mia?
00:03:42Must be Faith.
00:03:44Or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:50Scotch. Neat.
00:03:51Got it.
00:03:55How are things going on your end?
00:03:58My mom calls me every single day to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:04:06And what was your response?
00:04:09Um, 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.
00:04:21Even though I'm still single.
00:04:24Slushies.
00:04:35Here.
00:04:36To our endless battle.
00:04:46Mia, I've been thinking, why do we help each other out here?
00:05:05What do you mean?
00:05:08Maybe we can do the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:05:15Big boyfriend? Interesting.
00:05:19Only once.
00:05:21And we can be free for a long time.
00:05:25It's not what I usually do, but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:05:32This night is just getting more interesting.
00:05:35Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:05:39Not yet.
00:05:40Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:43Hey, boyfriend. Why don't you introduce yourself more to you?
00:05:48Well, I own a real estate company. We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:55You sure look like a boss. The scotch gives it away.
00:06:00Alright, enough about it. Tell me something about yourself.
00:06:03Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner. Not to show off, but you've probably seen a lot of my
00:06:12work around Manhattan already.
00:06:15Wait, are you Mia Davis? That Mia Davis?
00:06:21In the flesh, darling.
00:06:29I understand the emergence, but this is not how negotiation works.
00:06:34I need this to be done in three days. Our investors are not going to wait for us.
00:06:41Anderson, I assure you, we are doing everything we can.
00:06:44I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:06:48We won't let you down.
00:07:22Hey there.
00:07:23Mia, what a pleasant surprise. How did you have time to call me today?
00:07:29Is this a bad time? You sound like you've had a rough day.
00:07:34It was one of those days.
00:07:36Well, sounds like you could use a break. How about a drink to unwind later?
00:07:43Let me check.
00:07:47Yeah, I can really use that. I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:08:01Knowing my mom, she'll definitely want you to stay over.
00:08:05So we'll probably spend three days in one bedroom.
00:08:10After that, we'll be free to go back to our regular lives.
00:08:14Sounds like a plan.
00:08:25Here we go, James. Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:08:31Got it.
00:08:38Mom, I'm Paul.
00:08:41Mia!
00:08:44It's been so long.
00:08:46Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:08:50Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Davis. Mia's told me so much you've broken.
00:08:53Please, call me Maria.
00:08:57Common name.
00:08:58Help yourself with some cookies.
00:09:00Before I finish dressing with turkey.
00:09:05So far, so good.
00:09:08Let's keep it up.
00:09:15You know, I'm actually enjoying this day.
00:09:20Me too.
00:09:21I feel like we're a real couple.
00:09:26So, you two.
00:09:29Tell me how you met.
00:09:32Of course.
00:09:35It was a charming little cafe on the 3rd Avenue.
00:09:38You know, we're sitting alone, reading the chat for each of the idiots.
00:09:43And we were just striking out the conversation.
00:09:46Oh, how I met you.
00:09:49I'm so happy you guys have met each other.
00:09:54It's been a long time to hang on to the restaurant.
00:09:58My boy is a big pie there in the hostel.
00:09:58I'm so happy.
00:10:11My brother said they would have been in the hostel.
00:10:13I'm so happy.
00:10:15Aloud, you made me enjoy theγon cup for the holiday in theθΎ² Sur.
00:10:19I came oftenβ¦
00:10:23So happy!
00:10:24Your mom's here.
00:10:26What do we do?
00:10:28Uh, quick, come in here.
00:10:36Come in.
00:10:41Good morning, lovebirds.
00:10:43I can see you had a lovely night.
00:10:47Stop it, Mom. You're making it awkward.
00:10:50Look at you, all glowing.
00:10:57I'll do everything for my princess.
00:11:00Okay, um, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:11:06Okay, okay, just don't take too long.
00:11:09And shouldn't you get back to the city today?
00:11:21I have to say, it was quite a play in your house.
00:11:25It was perfect. They all bought it.
00:11:29Remember how your mom almost got us in the bedroom?
00:11:32My 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?
00:11:46They just won't let the topic off you.
00:11:49Same here.
00:11:50But now, my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding.
00:11:54I'm gonna lose my mind.
00:12:00Let's just share the night we have right now.
00:12:04Well, we still can.
00:12:16You know, James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:12:24I feel the same.
00:12:26I know there's beauty in commitment, but...
00:12:30Shouldn't it be our own life choice to make?
00:12:33Exactly.
00:12:35I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends.
00:12:40Telling me to rush into a life?
00:12:43Raising kids in a house and giving up all of my freedoms?
00:12:49No, thank you.
00:12:55Wait.
00:12:57I have an idea.
00:13:00It might help both of us.
00:13:02I'm all ears.
00:13:08What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:13:17What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:13:22Please elaborate.
00:13:25What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:13:30A contract marriage?
00:13:33Yeah.
00:13:34Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life.
00:13:39We'll make a legal contract with, maybe separate bedrooms, financial terms and so on.
00:13:45Oh.
00:13:47No feelings should be included.
00:13:50This is huge.
00:13:52I need to think about it.
00:13:56I know.
00:13:57It's not something to deal with the person whom you just met.
00:14:01But think about it.
00:14:03The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:14:08So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:14:12It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:14:16It's just, like I said, love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:14:25They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:14:32I get it, Mia. I do.
00:14:35But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:14:38And we need to adapt to that.
00:14:40Our life won't change a bit.
00:14:42Just more freedom with this contract.
00:14:45But what about the no emotions term?
00:14:49Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:14:53It's necessary.
00:14:55We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:14:59This will make things difficult.
00:15:04You do make a good point.
00:15:08I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:15:13But we need to set boundaries.
00:15:18Conditions.
00:15:19We'll stick with friendship.
00:15:21Contractual partners.
00:15:24Agreed, Mia.
00:15:25I'll write the legal contract.
00:15:28And we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:15:31Oh, and one more thing, James.
00:15:34We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this.
00:15:38We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:15:44Absolutely.
00:15:46Our contract won't affect any of our lives.
00:15:49We can make it done tomorrow.
00:15:51While our script will take care of everything.
00:15:55Deal.
00:16:08I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:16:13Yeah, we've got that formula.
00:16:18Let's go through this contract together.
00:16:21Okay.
00:16:25Separate bedrooms.
00:16:29The no feelings clause.
00:16:36And it's...
00:16:38Clear financial terms.
00:16:41Yup.
00:16:44We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:17:14I just can't believe we did that.
00:17:16I just can't believe we did that.
00:17:16Yeah.
00:17:19So...
00:17:20What'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 features to our families.
00:17:31Well...
00:17:31It's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:17:36Yes.
00:17:37Then 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?
00:17:59Yes.
00:18:00Did you turn the camera on?
00:18:02Yeah.
00:18:04It's working.
00:18:05It's working.
00:18:09Mia...
00:18:10There is something I'm wanting to ask you tonight.
00:18:13Yes?
00:18:19Mia...
00:18:19Will you marry me?
00:18:21Oh my God, James.
00:18:23Yes!
00:18:23Yes!
00:18:28Oh my God.
00:18:55I can't believe we just did that.
00:18:58It's all part of the plan.
00:19:12This is our first big show on the stage.
00:19:17We have to make sure that we look like a happy couple in front of everyone.
00:19:25Of course.
00:19:27Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:19:50Another successful play.
00:19:58it's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth
00:20:02i know but we have to stay firm focus on the bigger picture neither of us want a real marriage
00:20:12right now and we still have our wedding in two days
00:20:22let's get some rest good night good night
00:20:43Mia are you okay
00:20:48please open up talk to me
00:20:55I can't do this James
00:20:58at the wedding I saw everyone's faces
00:21:01they were so happy and blessed us with their whole hearts
00:21:09I feel like I betrayed every one of them
00:21:14but we are already here
00:21:16there is no way of going back
00:21:21I saw their faces
00:21:23they believed in us
00:21:25it was all a huge lie
00:21:29I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth
00:21:34it's not easy for me either
00:21:37but we have to hang in there
00:21:39we can't let them down right now
00:22:01I just wish it didn't have to be like this
00:22:05I wish that to Mia but I promise we can get through
00:22:35James I have something that I want to say
00:22:39James I have something that I want to say
00:22:42James I have something that I want to say
00:22:44Mia we agreed
00:22:46no feelings
00:22:53I know but
00:22:56James I have something that I want to say
00:22:58I want to say
00:22:59I want to say
00:22:59I want to say
00:23:02I want to say
00:23:03I want to say
00:23:06please enjoy your evening
00:23:22James
00:23:24what's this?
00:23:27Wow.
00:24:21James?
00:24:25Where are you?
00:24:28Right here Mia.
00:24:30Is there any candle?
00:24:38James.
00:24:45So, any clue on that note?
00:24:53Oh.
00:25:02Sorry.
00:25:07Hello?
00:25:10I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you. A gift to a celebrity or a fake wedding.
00:25:24Someone knows our secret. What should we do?
00:25:52You know, I've been thinking about the date we met.
00:25:58It 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
00:26:12you before.
00:26:19You too. I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:26:33Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:26:46It's not a fairy tale.
00:26:49It's a bloody reality.
00:26:53But...
00:26:54I still like it.
00:26:56It's our story.
00:26:58I still like it.
00:27:21What's happening?
00:27:27We're stuck.
00:27:29What do we do?
00:27:31I need to be there on time.
00:27:35Let's call the building.
00:27:37They should come and fix this.
00:27:49There's no signal. We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:27:54We won't.
00:27:56Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:28:01We just need to be patient.
00:28:08What's that for?
00:28:10Just to give us some strength.
00:28:12Friends can hug too.
00:28:14Okay.
00:28:26I can't believe this is happening.
00:28:31Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:28:38You 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.
00:28:57So far, we did good.
00:29:00Everyone is happy.
00:29:03I just think about how far we've come.
00:29:07Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:29:18It's like an endless spy game.
00:29:21I know.
00:29:23But we're in this together.
00:29:26We chose this to take control of our life.
00:29:29And now we are tied together by fate.
00:29:32We are one.
00:29:38I suddenly feel so relieved.
00:29:43Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:29:47I know.
00:29:48I always rush to my friends after a bad day.
00:29:51And 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.
00:30:04Mine too.
00:30:05My mom called the other day.
00:30:07But when she saw you walk up from the bath, she hung up as soon as she could.
00:30:12But 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.
00:30:22I'm sexy now.
00:30:24Okay.
00:30:37Maybe we should talk about what just happened.
00:30:42The moment was...
00:30:43I enjoyed it.
00:30:46There is something I never thought I would say.
00:30:49But it's not what we expected.
00:30:52I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:30:56Mia, I have to tell you.
00:30:58I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:31:03I care about you more than I should.
00:31:06I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:31:12I'm in love with you.
00:31:20I actually feel the exact same way.
00:31:27I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:31:31Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection,
00:31:37I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:31:41Let's tell everyone the truth.
00:31:43I'm sure they wouldn't stand.
00:31:45We may be mad at first, but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:31:50Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:31:53I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right.
00:31:56It should be our priority right now.
00:31:58I know.
00:31:58I know.
00:31:58I know.
00:31:59I know.
00:32:00I know.
00:32:02I know.
00:32:10I know.
00:32:12I know.
00:32:13James.
00:32:14Our parents aside,
00:32:16I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:32:21Who 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.
00:32:44We 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.
00:32:55I 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.
00:33:14We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage, and we'll for sure catch the person
00:33:21hunting us.
00:33:50We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage.
00:33:55Who's there?
00:34:08Anyone here?
00:34:10What do you want from me?
00:34:21You'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.
00:34:39I just need you to behave right now.
00:34:42We can talk things out.
00:34:45You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:34:48I will cooperate.
00:34:50If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:34:55Just let me go.
00:35:22Hello?
00:35:24Mr. 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 5 million dollars if you want to see her alive.
00:35:41Who are you?
00:35:42And 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?
00:35:59I need to be sure she is okay.
00:36:01Let 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.
00:36:20I don't know what to do, Scott.
00:36:22They are asking for 5 million in 24 hours.
00:36:25I can't lose her.
00:36:27Well, figure it out, James.
00:36:29I will do everything I can.
00:36:32I can't lose Mia.
00:36:36I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contrary.
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.
00:36:55We will.
00:36:56But who will commit such a horrible crime?
00:37:00Anyone raise the bell?
00:37:03Mia wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:37:05I can assure you, this has something to do with the blackmail we received.
00:37:12Blackmail?
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.
00:37:27Mark, please.
00:37:29I need your help.
00:37:30Mia's life is in danger.
00:37:32I wish I could, James.
00:37:355 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 cash this out.
00:38:19Thank you for calling CPM Bank.
00:38:21Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:38:26I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:38:29I want to cash it out immediately.
00:38:32I understand the urgency.
00:38:34Please give us a moment.
00:38:44Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:38:47It's for an urgent matter.
00:38:49Sure.
00:38:50Since 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.
00:39:00I'll move it.
00:39:01Great.
00:39:18Is it ready?
00:39:20Yes.
00:39:21Give me the location.
00:39:23Boom!
00:39:40I 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.
00:39:52I thought I'd never see you again.
00:39:55I swear to you.
00:39:58We'll protect you with my life.
00:40:13I want to give you both an update.
00:40:16We 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.
00:40:30Thank you, Dr. We appreciate your efforts.
00:40:39I'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.
00:41:16It's been a while since we had a busy room like this.
00:41:21Yeah.
00:41:23It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:41:38Mia, you won't believe this.
00:41:43What is it?
00:41:47The company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:41:50They love my pitch.
00:41:52Oh my god, James, that's amazing.
00:41:57I'm gonna call my employees to announce this news.
00:42:02And an after party later?
00:42:06You know me too well.
00:42:10Will you pick me up later for a little celebration?
00:42:14Absolutely.
00:42:15I'll meet you at home after work.
00:42:42Yes.
00:42:42I needed to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:42:45We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:42:50Wow.
00:42:51That's fantastic.
00:42:52I will gather them.
00:43:10Thank you all for your time.
00:43:12I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:43:18Before 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?
00:43:35I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:43:39You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:43:43For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:44:24What's wrong, James?
00:44:31What could that be?
00:44:35I don't know.
00:44:37But we are going to find out soon.
00:44:50Samantha, have you found anything?
00:44:53I 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 are close to uncovering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:45:09I'm only yours.
00:45:10Details, please.
00:45:12We managed to trace the source of the blackmail attempts.
00:45:16We 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.
00:45:36I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:45:39Of course.
00:45:40We're so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:46:01I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:46:04I tried to call you many times and you didn't answer.
00:46:07I thought something happened to you.
00:46:10I'm so sorry.
00:46:12I'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.
00:46:32I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:46:43You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:46:50Contract or not.
00:46:52I feel the same way, Mia.
00:46:54I won't ever want to lose you.
00:46:59I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:47:02It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:47:11It'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.
00:47:35Hello?
00:47:38James, 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
00:47:48on.
00:47:49Sure.
00:47:50Where should we meet?
00:47:54I can rearrange some work tonight.
00:47:57That's great.
00:47:58Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:48:04I'll be at your office at 3pm 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.
00:48:38Hi, I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:48:43My 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.
00:48:57Wow.
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.
00:49:38You are welcome.
00:49:43I'm James Turner, you're...
00:49:53Jimmy, don't you remember me?
00:50:00I'm sorry, but I can see too.
00:50:06Perhaps this will help you to remember.
00:50:13I've got as much. It's me.
00:50:18I love Mabel.
00:50:23Mabel?
00:50:25What the...
00:50:50You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:50:55I know, babe. I can't believe you're graduating. Time did fly.
00:51:02Life after college. It's a bit scary, but I'm so excited.
00:51:08I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:51:14I'm sure nothing can stop you from your goal.
00:51:22I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:51:26Yeah, I know.
00:51:30Should you lock the door?
00:51:31Of course I do.
00:51:35I hope you won't change after you leave.
00:51:38I won't.
00:51:55Mabel?
00:51:57James, I can't explain.
00:52:01I'm so sorry I have to find out like this, but Mabel and I have been together for a while
00:52:06now.
00:52:20Mabel?
00:52:22What are you doing here?
00:52:24It's Victorian.
00:52:27And for business, of course, darling.
00:52:33What are you doing?
00:52:35What 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.
00:52:51For the old time's sake?
00:52:52You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:52:56What do you want?
00:52:58People change, James.
00:53:01And...
00:53:02I just can't let you from my mind.
00:53:07How did you become the president of this company?
00:53:10What are you hiding?
00:53:13A woman like me can get whatever I want.
00:53:16It's just a little trick.
00:53:19See?
00:53:21I helped you got this project.
00:53:24I've missed you, James.
00:53:27You missed us.
00:53:28We should be together.
00:53:31I'm the only one who can help you.
00:53:35No, Victoria.
00:53:37I won't let you manipulate.
00:53:39Not again.
00:53:49You have always been a challenge, James.
00:53:53This is not how I imagined our reunion.
00:53:55If you come here to talk about the project, let's get to it.
00:53:59Otherwise, you should leave.
00:54:02Don't be so harsh.
00:54:04You want a business?
00:54:06We'll talk about business.
00:54:10Let's get professional.
00:54:13James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our past.
00:54:18I trust you and your ability.
00:54:21I know what you're capable of.
00:54:26Really?
00:54:27Oh, please.
00:54:29Put our history behind, will you?
00:54:32I'd pay responsibility to my company, too.
00:54:36Okay?
00:54:37I didn't take this job for fun.
00:54:41Fine.
00:54:42Let's be clear.
00:54:43I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:54:50Agree, James.
00:54:53We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:55:22Scott.
00:55:24You won't believe what just happened.
00:55:26What's the matter?
00:55:38Wait.
00:55:39Mabel?
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 going by Victoria, and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:55:53She wants my help on a project.
00:55:56I can't shake 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. Happy to help.
00:56:12She wants you involved in a real estate project.
00:56:15But it's more than just business, I'm sure of it.
00:56:19I 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 promise, I'll protect her.
00:56:31Of course.
00:56:33I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:56:37Thanks, man.
00:56:38What should I do without you?
00:56:53James, are you okay? You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:56:59It's great to make your work, babe. Just step with work, you know.
00:57:04All right. It'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, we can figure it out together.
00:57:18Babe, it shouldn't worry you. I can handle it myself. Trust me.
00:57:24Okay. Just remember, I'm always here for you. If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm
00:57:35here.
00:57:37Thank you, Mia. You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to me.
00:57:44James, we're one. There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:57:56Hi, Jimmy.
00:58:01Victoria.
00:58:03What an unexpected surprise. I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:58:12I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:58:15I've moved on with my life. I have Mia, and she means everything to me.
00:58:21Oh, please, James. You wouldn't let a college flinch cause your judgement after all these years. Right?
00:58:31Spare me the details. You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:58:37What did you expect me to do, James?
00:58:40You were leaving college, and I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:58:46I need someone to back me up. I was a child.
00:58:51I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria.
00:58:55I got over you a long time ago.
00:58:59So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:59:04Come back here, dummy.
00:59:06I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:59:18James, I never said I wanted to be your wife. I just wanted to be in your life.
00:59:30And you are calm with us to check the new site for our project. It's required by our partnership contracts.
00:59:46Yeah, I've got a business trip coming up. It's a sudden opportunity, and I need to leave for a few
00:59:54days.
00:59:55Oh, really? That's unexpected. When do you leave?
01:00:00Tomorrow morning. I know. It's short notice, but I'll be back before you know it.
01:00:08Alright, James. Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
01:00:14I will. I'll miss you so much.
01:00:36James. We've had quite a bit. Is everything all right?
01:00:50James.
01:00:52James.
01:00:54James.

01:11:30This is just to make James realize he belongs to me.
01:11:38We understand.
01:11:40You get what you want.
01:11:57What?
01:12:04Hello?
01:12:08Who's there?
01:12:16My, my, Mia.
01:12:20What a tangled web we have.
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?
01:12:45He 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.
01:13:09Baby Jamie wanted to have a bet?
01:13:12Why else he would choose you over me?
01:13:15What we have is real.
01:13:17And you need to face the truth.
01:13:22Listen to me carefully, bunny.
01:13:24If you truly care for James, you'll stay away from me.
01:13:29It's not a negotiation.
01:13:30It's a demand.
01:13:32James and I are married.
01:13:34And there's nothing you can do about it.
01:13:40Don't be too confident.
01:13:43Just yet.
01:13:52Mia!
01:13:53Hi Jimmy.
01:13:55What's the hurry?
01:13:59You came as soon as you got the message, huh?
01:14:02I only send you the message to see how much you would sacrifice for Mia.
01:14:07Mia!
01:14:09Let her go.
01:14:10You want me?
01:14:11I'm here.
01:14:14You've got one minute, James.
01:14:17Your precious contract wife or the woman who's loved you all alone.
01:14:27Victoria.
01:14:30Why 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.
01:14:45But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:14:54Please.
01:14:56Put the gun down.
01:14:58You don't want to end up like this.
01:15:01Mia is the only one I love.
01:15:20I'm almost done.
01:15:22I'm 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.
01:15:38I'm so scared James.
01:15:39I thought I'd never see you again.
01:15:39And 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.
01:15:52Why?
01:15:54Why did you betray me?
01:15:58I never wanted to hurt you.
01:16:01I was over and we lost control.
01:16:05I didn't know how to handle it, so I decided not to tell you and I'm so sorry.
01:16:13You should have trusted me, James.
01:16:16I'm the kind of woman you can fight with.
01:16:24Mia?
01:16:25Mia?
01:16:45Are you okay?
01:16:47You scared the hell out of me.
01:16:51It's okay. I 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.
01:17:06I'm so sorry for everything that has happened.
01:17:11I love you.
01:17:14And I guess carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:17:23What?
01:17:26What did you just say?
01:17:27Well, I've been having some fainting incidents recently, so I went to the hospital by myself and it looks like
01:17:43in eight months you're going to become a dad.
01:17:50What?
01:17:52You are pregnant?
01:17:55Oh 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 are becoming parents.
01:18:07This is the most exciting moment in my life.
01:18:10I knew you would be happy.
01:18:15James, with the baby coming and the incidents behind us, I 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.
01:18:35It's time to be honest with her.
01:18:43I'm so happy.
01:18:46You know, Mia, I was thinking, I want the girl.
01:18:50She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:18:52Oh, really?
01:18:54I'm imagining a boy with your intelligence and my sense of beauty.
01:19:02But as long as the little one is healthy, I'm satisfied.
01:19:07Never been more excited about the future.
01:19:10Me too, James.
01:19:12This journey, our journey, it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:19:19Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:19:21And maybe, just maybe, we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:19:34Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:19:37Oh, my God.
01:19:39Are you trying to spoil me?
01:19:42Maybe I am.
01:19:43You deserve it.
01:19:44Oh, my God.
01:19:45This looks amazing.
01:19:47I love the nuggets.
01:19:50I believe in us, James.
01:19:54We've gone through a lot of challenges that come out even stronger.
01:20:01Tonight is the last step for us to become a real couple.
01:20:08I'm lucky to have you here by my side, Mia.
01:20:12It doesn't matter how angry they get upon hearing the news.
01:20:18We'll face it together.
01:20:24Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:20:34Our marriage started with a light to you and me.
01:20:39And it was a business arrangement.
01:20:43But over time, we fell in love with each other.
01:20:51We want to make it real.
01:20:54And we'd like to have your blessing for real this time.
01:21:00Well, your marriage, contract or not, has looked pretty real to me from the very beginning.
01:21:11And I'm glad you guys are brave enough to admit the mistakes.
01:21:17And go on with your real, happy marriage life.
01:21:23Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:21:29I'll always be there for her.
01:21:32And we have a new member coming to the family soon.
01:21:36Bye.
