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 too long for a minute, I'm so happy.

00:11:06okay okay just don't take too long and shouldn't you get back to the city today
00:11:21i have to say it was quite a play in your house it was perfect they all bought it remember
00:11:29how your
00:11:30mom almost caught us in the bedroom my heart was about to jump out when i heard that knock but
00:11:37we
00:11:37made it so has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit they just won't
00:11:47let the topic off you same here but now my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding i'm gonna
00:11:55lose my
00:11:59mind let's just share the night we have right now while 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 i know there's beauty and commitment but shouldn't it be our only choice to make
00:12:34exactly i'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends telling me to rush into a life
00:12:43raising kids in a house and giving up all of my freedoms no thank you
00:12:55okay wait i have an idea might help both of us i'm all ears
00:13:08thinking what if we turn the tables on our families
00:13:16thinking what if we turn the tables on our families
00:13:22please elaborate
00:13:25what if we consider a contract marriage
00:13:31a contract marriage yeah our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life
00:13:39we'll make a legal contract with maybe separate bedrooms financial terms and so on
00:13:46oh no feelings should be included this is huge i need to think about it
00:13:56i know it's not something to deal with the person who you just met
00:14:01but think about us the contract will satisfy our parents expectations
00:14:08so we can take control of our own lives without their interference
00:14:13it'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
00:14:24so they should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally
00:14:32get it mia i do but sometimes life doesn't follow our script and we need to adapt to that
00:14:39our life won't change the bit just more freedom with this contract
00:14:45but what about the no emotions term should we really cut off our feelings like that
00:14:53it's necessary we need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other
00:14:58so we'll make things difficult
00:15:04you do make a good point
00:15:08i do want to take control over my own destiny again
00:15:14but we need to set boundaries conditions we'll stick with friendship contractual partners
00:15:24i agree i'll write the legal contract and we should both be clear about all the terms
00:15:31oh and one more thing james we need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this
00:15:38we both continue to pursue our goals passions and relationships absolutely our contract won't
00:15:47affect any of our lives we can make it done tomorrow
00:15:51follow our squad we'll take care of everything deal
00:16:08i can't believe we're actually doing this yeah we've got that formula
00:16:18let's go through this country together okay
00:16:26separate bedrooms uh no feelings clause
00:16:36and it's clear financial terms
00:16:41and it's clear financial terms
00:16:44we'll be committed to each other from now on
00:16:47we'll be committed to each other from now on
00:17:09we'll be committed to each other from now on
00:17:14i just can't believe we did that
00:17:19so what's next we'll tell our parents and make it official
00:17:25i'll propose to you in your apartment and send pictures to our families
00:17:31oh it's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married
00:17:36yes then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it
00:17:40it's all part of the plan
00:17:43i really want to get this out of my head

00:19:50another 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
00:20:08focus on the bigger picture
00:20:10neither of us wants a real marriage right now

00:20:25good night
00:20:44Mia, are you okay?
00:20:48Please, open up.
00:20:51Talk to me.
00:20:55I can't do this, James.
00:20:58At the wedding, I saw everyone's faces.
00:21:02They were so happy and blessed us with their whole hearts.
00:21:08I feel like I betrayed every one of them.
00:21:14But we are already here.
00:21:17There is no way of going back.
00:21:21I 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.
00:21:40We 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't get through.
00:22:10I promise.
00:22:35James, I have something that I want to say.
00:22:43Mia, we agreed.
00:22:47No feelings.
00:22:53I know.
00:22:57But...
00:23:05Call him and set my friend.
00:23:11Please, enjoy your evening.
00:23:23James, what's this?
00:23:25It's...
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?
00:25:07Hello?
00:25:10I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you, a gift to a celebrity or fake wedding.
00:25:25Someone 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.
00:26:07And I'm glad that I met you.
00:26:09You're such a special woman and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:26:18You too.
00:26:20I'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.
00:26:51But, I still like it.
00:26:56It's our story.
00:27:20What'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.
00:27:50We 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 help 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.
00:29:37I suddenly feel so relieved.
00:29:42Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:29:47I know.
00:29:49I 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.
00:30:00Now 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.
00:30:20And then she can make fun of you some more.
00:30:38Maybe we should talk about what just happened.
00:30:42The moment was...
00:30:44I 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.
00:31:45Maybe 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.
00:32:12James, our parents aside, I'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.
00:32:30Hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:32:33I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:32:43We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:32:47This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight.
00:32:51Bringing 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.
00:33:19And we'll for sure catch the person hunting us.
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.
00:34:40I just need you to behave right now.
00:34:42We can talk things out.
00:34:44You don't...
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.
00:35:24It's time for you to decide.
00:35:27Maya's life depends on you.
00:35:29Don't bother.
00:35:30You won't recognize who I am.
00:35:33What matters is, Maya.
00:35:35You have 24 hours to prepare five million dollars if you want to see her alive.
00:35:40Who are you?
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's okay.
00:36:01Let me talk to you.
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're asking for five millions in 24 hours.
00:36:24I can't lose her.
00:36:27Well, figure it out, James.
00:36:29I'll do everything that I can.
00:36:32I can't lose Mia.
00:36:36I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:36:41We found each other the one we have been looking for our whole life.
00:36:46Oh, no.
00:36:47This was not meant to happen.
00:36:50I have to find her.
00:36:52I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:36:54We will.
00:36:56But who will commit such a horrible crime?
00:37:00Anyone ring the bell?
00:37:03Mia wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:37:05I can assure you.
00:37:06This has something to do with that 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.
00:37:28Please.
00:37:29I need your help.
00:37:30Mia's life is in danger.
00:37:33I wish I could, James.
00:37:35Five million?
00:37:36That's 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.
00:38:28I 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 know you.
00:39:01Great.
00:39:18Is it ready?
00:39:19Yes.
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.
00:39:56I swear to you, we'll attack you with memory.
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.
00:40:29Thank you, Secretary.
00:40:31We appreciate your efforts.
00:40:39I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:40:46It's not your fault.
00:40:48We'll get from this.
00:40:51Hughie.
00:41:16It's been a while since we had a piss moon like this.
00:41:21Yeah.
00:41:23It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:41:39Mia!
00:41:40You won't believe this!
00:41:44What is it?
00:41:47The company chose us to partner on a luxury project.
00:41:50They love my pitch!
00:41:52Oh my god, James, that's amazing!
00:41:56I'm 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 our little celebration?
00:42:14Absolutely!
00:42:15I'll meet you at home after work!
00:42:20I need to gather together the people online for a meeting.
00:42:20Why are you?
00:42:23This plan?
00:42:24You want to approach yourself at work?
00:42:42Yes!
00:42:43I needed to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:42:45We got that project.
00:42:47we need to present it to the client this afternoon. Wow, this is fantastic. I will gather down.
00:43:10Thank you all for your time. I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:43:18Before I finish, I'm just curious. Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:43:25Our president insisted you were the perfect fit. She said you're an old friend.
00:43:32An old friend? I'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.
00:44:23What'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.
00:44:49Samantha.
00:44:51Have 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 closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:45:09I'm only yours.
00:45:10Details, please.
00:45:11We managed to trace the source of the blackmail 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 are 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, we are so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:46:01I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:46:03I tried to call you many times and you didn't answer.
00:46:07I thought something happened to you.
00:46:10I'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.
00:47:38James, 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 to do.
00:47:57That's great.
00:47:59Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:48:04I'll be at your office at 3 p.m. and we can go over all the details.
00:48:10Thank you for your recognition.
00:48:12I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:48:37Hi.
00:48:38I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:48:44My apologies, James.
00:48:46I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events.
00:48:52But our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:48:56Wow.
00:48:57I was not aware of that.
00:49:00Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:49:02It's a great opportunity.
00:49:04She surely is very excited about this.
00:49:08I'll see you in the next one.
00:49:11Bye-bye.
00:49:12Bye-bye.
00:49:13Bye-bye.
00:49:22Bye-bye.
00:49:27Bye-bye.
00:49:28Bye-bye.
00:49:32Bye-bye.
00:49:43I'm James Sterner.
00:49:47You're...
00:49:52Jimmy?
00:49:53Don't you remember me?
00:50:00I'm sorry, but I can see you.
00:50:06Perhaps this will help us, remember?
00:50:14I've got as much.
00:50:16It's me.
00:50:18I love you, though.
00:50:23About?
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.
00:50:57I can't believe you're graduating.
00:51:01I'm deep, Lai.
00:51:02Life after college.
00:51:04It'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.
00:51:22I 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.
00:51:37I 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.

00:52:36What'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.
00:52:51Old time's sake?
00:52:52You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:52:56What do you want?
00:52:58People change, James.
00:53:02And I just can't let you know 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.

01:07:35Samantha
01:07:36found anything
01:07:37yes
01:07:38I got a lead
01:07:39it's been a challenging investigation
01:07:41but
01:07:42I've uncovered some crucial information
01:07:45leads on
01:07:45Richard Kingsley
01:07:47I'm listening
01:07:49he went to the same college with Mia
01:07:52and
01:07:53he developed an obsession
01:07:55over her everything
01:07:56it's been stalking your life
01:07:59collecting information
01:08:00and attempting to get her
01:08:03this is insane
01:08:05how did he head so close to us
01:08:07he used virus
01:08:09illnesses
01:08:10and keep a low profile
01:08:12which made it challenging to track him
01:08:15but we've identified his patterns
01:08:18and his current location
01:08:20I'd advise involving the authorities
01:08:22and getting a restraining order against him
01:08:26thank you Samantha
01:08:28I appreciate your dedication
01:08:29you and Mia deserve peace James
01:08:32I will continue to monitor the situation
01:08:35but please take legal action to protect yourself
01:08:41I'll take care of her
01:08:43and it's time for me to take control
01:09:04it's time to tell the truth Richard
01:09:06don't you think?
01:09:08who sent you after us?
01:09:09someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan
01:09:12if you don't tell the truth
01:09:14I will call the cops on you
01:09:17fine
01:09:19fine

01:09:33she told me you don't even care about Mia
01:09:38she promised to help me get Mia back
01:09:40after she gets you back
01:09:44you were manipulated Richard
01:09:47you're such a clown
01:09:57James
01:09:58James
01:09:59I've been seeing you
01:10:03I thought someone never would see me again, huh?
01:10:08you miss me all right?
01:10:11Victoria
01:10:12Victoria
01:10:13I want answers
01:10:15why did you hire Richard to stalk us?
01:10:20Richard?
01:10:23I've never heard any Richard in my life
01:10:25I know it was you
01:10:27he told me everything
01:10:33okay

01:10:41for us?
01:10:43I don't know there is an us
01:10:52I've always loved you, Jimmy
01:10:55I just want to be back together with you
01:11:06here is a plan
01:11:09we need to kidnap Mia
01:11:11without anyone tracing back to us
01:11:17we are professionals
01:11:18we know how to cover our tracks
01:11:22good
01:11:24and remember
01:11:25I want her unharmed. This is just to make James realized he belongs to me.
01:11:38We understand. You get what you want.
01:11:57What? Hello? Who's there?
01:12:16My, my, Mia. What a tangled web we're with.
01:12:27It's me, Victoria.
01:12:31What do you want?
01:12:33I warned you to walk away, but you just wouldn't listen.
01:12:38So I decided to teach you a little lesson.
01:12:43See? You cried.
01:12:47You would never be good enough for James.
01:12:51You'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.
01:13:18And 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. It's a demand.
01:13:32James and I are married.
01:13:35And 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?
01:14:41I won't even have a life after tonight.
01:14:44But 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.
01:15:19The actual owner ofucker.
01:15:20We're sober now.
01:15:22We're safe.
01:15:24I was so scared James.
01:15:28To be afraid I'd never see you again.
01:15:32Steve.
01:15:32I know.
01:15:33I'm more scared too.
01:15:35Very, very nimble.
01:15:35But here we are, and I'll always protect you. You mean the world to me.
01:15:44I love you, James.
01:15:46I love you too.
01:15:53Why? Why did you betray me?
01:15:58I never wanted to hurt you. I 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.
01:16:25Mia? Mia?
01:16:45Are you okay? You scared the hell out of me.
01:16:51It's okay. I feel better now. I'm sorry to have scared you. I guess tonight's events took a lot out
01:17:03of me.
01:17:06I'm so sorry for everything that has happened. I love you.
01:17:14And I guess carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:17:23What? What did you just say?
01:17:28Well, I've been having some fainting incidents recently, so I went to the hospital by myself.
01:17:39And it looks like in eight months you're going to become a dad.
01:17:50What? You're pregnant?
01:17:56Oh my God! I can't believe! I had no idea!
01:18:01You should have told me earlier!
01:18:04I can't believe we're becoming parents!
01:18:07This is the most exciting moment in my life!
01:18:10I knew you would be happy.
01:18:14James, with the baby coming, and the incidents behind us,
01:18:20I think it's time we come clean to our parents.
01:18:25They 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. It's time to be honest with you.
01:18:43I'm so happy.
01:18:46You know, Mia, I was thinking I want a girl. She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:18:52Oh, really? I'm imagining a boy with your intelligence and my sense of beauty.
01:19:02But as long as the little one is healthy, I'm satisfied.
01:19:07I've never been more excited about the future.
01:19:10Me too, James.
01:19:12This journey, our journey, it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:19:18Surprise 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. Are you trying to spoil me?
01:19:41Maybe I am. You deserve it.
01:19:44This looks amazing. I 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, ma'am.
01:20:12It doesn't matter how angry they get upon hearing the news.
01:20:18We'll face it together.
01:20:25Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:20:34Our marriage started with a light to you and me.
01:20:39And...
01:20:41It was a business arrangement.
01:20:45But...
01:20:46Over time...
01:20:48We fell in love with each other.
01:20:51We want to make it real.
01:20:54And we'd like to have your blessing.
01:20:57For real this time.
01:21:01Well...
01:21:02Your marriage, contract or not,
01:21:06was...
01:21:06Has looked pretty real to me.
01:21:09From the very beginning.
01:21:11And I'm glad you guys are brave enough
01:21:14to admit the mistakes.
01:21:17And go on with your real, happy marriage life.
01:21:24Thank you for understanding, mom.
01:21:29I'll always be there for her.
01:21:32And we have a new member come into the family soon.
01:21:36This is a great question.
01:21:37I don't mind that we can raise the right hand.
01:21:38I'm sorry.
