00:00:00We had boyfriends? Interesting.
00:00:10I just can't believe we did that.
00:00:14Mia, will you marry me?
00:00:17Yes! Oh my God!
00:00:22I can sing to you.
00:00:26Perhaps, this will help you to remember?
00:00:34I've thought as much.
00:00:37It's me.
00:00:38Will the life look done?
00:00:40She would never find out.
00:00:45Now that is what we're talking about, James.
00:01:09Is 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.
00:01:57What?
00:02:11Mack-Allen, meet you.
00:02:18Marriage… suffocating.
00:02:22Tell me about it.
00:02:26Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:02:31Family pressures, right?
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. James Turner, by the way.
00:03:07I'm Mia. Pleasure to meet you.
00:03:13It's our endless battle.
00:03:19It's my new comrade.
00:03:37James, right? Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:41Mia, you must be afraid.
00:03:44Or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:50Scotch, neat.
00:03:51Got it.
00:03:54How are things going on your end?
00:03:58My mom calls me every single day to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:04:06And what was your response?
00:04:09Um, I said yes just to stop her calls, but I don't think there's anyone.
00:04:16You?
00:04:18My parents are obsessed with my kids, even though I'm still single.
00:04:23Special thanks.
00:04:34Here, to our endless battle.
00:04:46Mia, I've been thinking, wouldn't we help each other out here?
00:05:05What do you mean?
00:05:08Maybe we can be the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:05:14Fake boyfriend? Interesting.
00:05:19Only once, and we can be free for a long time.
00:05:24It'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.
00:05:38Not yet. Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:43Okay, boyfriend. Why don't you introduce yourself more today?
00:05:48Well, I own a real estate company. We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:54You 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?
00:06:20In the flesh, darling.
00:06:29I understand the emergence, but this is not how negotiation works.
00:06:33I 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.
00:06:49You know what?
00:07:03I feel like this woman.
00:07:22Hey there.
00:07:23Mia, what a pleasant surprise.
00:07:26How did you have time to call me today?
00:07:29Is this a bad time?
00:07:31You 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.
00:07:39How about a drink to unwind later?
00:07:43Let me check.
00:07:47Yeah, I can really use that.
00:07:49I'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.
00:08:13Sounds like a plan.
00:08:25Here we go, James.
00:08:27Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:08:31Got it.
00:08:38Mom, I'm home.
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.
00:08:52Mia's told me so much you've broken.
00:08:53Please, call me Maria.
00:08:57Call my name.
00:08:58Help herself with some cookies.
00:09:00Before I finish dressing with working.
00:09:05So far, so good.
00:09:08Let's keep it up.
00:09:15You know, I'm actually enjoying this day.
00:09:19Me too.
00:09:21I feel like we're a real couple.
00:09:26So, you two, tell me how you met.
00:09:49I'm so happy you guys who met each other.
00:09:54It's been too long for me.
00:09:56It's been too long for me.
00:09:57I'm so 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.
00:10:46Stop it, Mom.
00:10:48You're making it awkward.
00:10:50Look at you.
00:10:52All 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.
00:11:08Just don't take too long.
00:11:09And she'll let you get back to the city today.
00:11:22I have to say it was quite a play in your house.
00:11:24It was perfect.
00:11:26They 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.
00:11:40So, 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?
00:13:21Please elaborate.
00:13:24What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:13:30A contract marriage?
00:13:33Yeah.
00:13:33Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life.
00:13:39We'll make a legal contract with...
00:13:41Maybe separate bedrooms?
00:13:43Financial terms and so on?
00:13:46Oh.
00:13:47No feelings should be included.
00:13:50This is huge.
00:13:52This is huge.
00:13:53I need to think about it.
00:13:56I know.
00:13:57It's not something you deal with the person whom you just met.
00:14:01But think about this.
00:14:03The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:14:08So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:14:13It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:14:15It's just...
00:14:17Like I said...
00:14:19Love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:14:25They should be based on emotions and...
00:14:28Connection that grows naturally.
00:14:32Get it, Mia.
00:14:34I do.
00:14:35But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:14:37And 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...
00:14:45What 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.
00:14:59It won't 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...
00:15:15We need to set boundaries.
00:15:18Conditions.
00:15:19We'll stick with friendship.
00:15:21Contractual partners.
00:15:25Agreed, Mia.
00:15:26I'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 Daniel foreign lives.
00:15:49We can make it done tomorrow.
00:15:52While our squad will take care of everything.
00:15:56Deal.
00:15:56Deal.
00:16:08I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:16:13Yeah.
00:16:14We've got that formula.
00:16:18Let's go through this contract together.
00:16:21Okay.
00:16:26Separate bedrooms.
00:16:28The no feelings clause.
00:16:37And it's...
00:16:38Clear financial terms.
00:16:41Yep.
00:16:44We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:16:59We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:17:14I just can't believe we did that.
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.
00:17:27And send pictures to our families.
00:17:30Oh.
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?
00:17:59Did you turn the camera on?
00:18:02Yeah.
00:18:04It's working.
00:18:09Mia.
00:18:10There is something I'm wanting to ask you tonight.
00:18:13Yes?
00:18:17Mia.
00:18:19Will you marry me?
00:18:21Oh my God, James.
00:18:23Yes!
00:18:28Oh my God.
00:18:41Oh my God.
00:18:55I can't believe we just did that.
00:18:58It's all part of that.
00:19:01Oh my God.
00:19:03Hey, man.
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. Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:19:51Another successful play.
00:19:57It'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 want a real marriage right now.
00:20:14And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:20:21Let's get some rest. Good night.
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. There is no way of going back.
00:21:20I saw their faces. They 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.
00:22:04I wish that too, Mia.
00:22:07But I promise, we can get through.
00:22:10I promise.
00:22:35James, I have something that I want to say.
00:22:42Yeah.
00:22:44We agreed.
00:22:47No feelings.
00:22:52I know.
00:22:56But...
00:22:58If not, Iratos...
00:23:05One hundred and five hundred friends.
00:23:11Please, enjoy the evening.
00:23:22James, what's this?
00:24:11James, what's this?
00:24:24James, where are you?
00:24:28Right here Mia, is there any candle?
00:24:37James.
00:24:44So, any clue on that note?
00:25:07Hello?
00:25:10I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you, a gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:25:24Someone knows our secret, what should we do?
00:25:52No.
00:25:53You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:25:58Feels like a lifetime ago.
00:26:05I know, and I'm glad that I met you.
00:26:08You'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, it'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.
00:27:48There'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.
00:28:00We 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.
00:28:32Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:28:37You 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 are doing everything we can.
00:28:57And so 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.
00:29:48I 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.
00:30:11But 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.
00:30:23I'm sexy now.
00:30:38Maybe we should talk about what just happened.
00:30:42The moment was...
00:30:44I enjoyed it.
00:30:45There 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,
00:31:36I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:31:41Let's tell everyone the truth.
00:31:43I'm sure they will understand.
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.
00:31:58I don't want to leave my family.
00:32:12James, our parents aside, I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:32:20Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:32:25Mia, I have no idea. But 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.
00:32:43We 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.
00:33:18And 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 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?
00:35:23Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:35:27Maya's life depends on you.
00:35:29Don't bother.
00:35:30You won't recognize who I am.
00:35:33What matters is, Maya.
00:35:35You have 24 hours to prepare five million dollars if you want to see her alive.
00:35:40Who are you and what do you want?
00:35:43That is not a question for me to answer.
00:35:46Just do as I said.
00:35:48I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:35:52That's not my concern.
00:35:54Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:35:58I need to be sure she's 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'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?
00:37:02Mia wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:37:05I can assure you.
00:37:06This has something to do with the blackmail we received.
00:37:11Blackmail?
00:37:14Someone has been stalking us.
00:37:16They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:37:19Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:37:27Mark, please, I need your help.
00:37:30Mia's life is in danger.
00:37:32I wish I could, James.
00:37:35Five million is a lot.
00:37:38I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:37:42Save it, Mark.
00:37:43When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help.
00:37:47You're a fucking nuisance.
00:37:48I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:38:09I might be able to 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.
00:38:31I 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?
00:39:20Yes.
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.
00:39:56I swear to you.
00:39:57I'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.
00:40:29Thank you, detective.
00:40:31We 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 for this.
00:40:51You.
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.
00:41:39Mia.
00:41:40You won't believe this.
00:41:44What is it?
00:41:46A company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:41:50They love my pitch.
00:41:52Oh my god, James.
00:41:53That's amazing.
00:41:56I'm gonna call my employees to announce this news.
00:42:02And an after party later?
00:42:05You know me too well.
00:42:10Will you pick me up later for our little celebration?
00:42:14Absolutely.

00:44:31What could that be?
00:44:34I 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.
00:44:59James, we've made some significant progress.
00:45:02I think we're close to uncovering 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.
00:45:15We found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:45:20Richard Kingsley?
00:45:21Never 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, we're so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:46:00I 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 I 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.
00:46:51I 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.
00:47:12You're really talented.
00:47:15Thank you so much for your support.
00:47:17It 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 to me, maybe.
00:47:57That's great.
00:47:59Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:48:04I'll be at your office at 3 p.m. and we can go over all the details.
00:48:10Thank you for your recognition.
00:48:11I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:48:38Hi.
00:48:39I'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.
00:48:56Wow.
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.
00:49:43I'm James Sterner.
00:49:47You're...
00:49:51Jimmy?
00:49:53Don't you remember me?
00:50:00I'm sorry, but...
00:50:02I can see you.
00:50:06Perhaps this will help you to remember me.
00:50:14I've thought as much.
00:50:16It's me.
00:50:18Your beloved Babel.
00:50:23Babel?
00:50:25Babel.
00:50:50You know, Babel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:50:55I know, Babel.
00:50:57I can't believe you're graduating.
00:51:00I'm date flight.
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.
00:51:14I'm sure nothing can stop you from the 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 it to me.
00:51:38I won't.
00:51:55Babel?
00:52:00I'm so sorry to have to find out like this, but...
00:52:04...Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:52:20Mabel? What are you doing here?
00:52:24It's Victorian. And for business, of course, darling.
00:52:33What are you playing here?
00:52:36What's up with all the charade?
00:52:40Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:52:46You know, for the old time's sake.
00:52:51Old time's sake? You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:52:55What do you want?
00:52:57People change, James.
00:53:02And I just can't let you of my mind.
00:53:07How did you become the president of this company?
00:53:10What are you hiding?
00:53:12A woman like me can get whatever I want with just a little trick.
00:53:20See? I helped you got this project.
00:53:24I've missed you, James.
00:53:26Missed us.
00:53:28We should be together.
00:53:31I'm the only one who can help you.
00:53:35No, Victoria. I won't let you manipulate. Not again.
00:53:49You have always been a challenge, James.
00:53:52This is not how I imaged our reunion.
00:53:55If you come here to talk about the project, let's get to it.
00:53:59Otherwise, you should leave.
00:54:01James, don't be so harsh.
00:54:04You want business, we'll talk about business.
00:54:09Let's get professional.
00:54:13James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our opacity.
00:54:18I trust you and your ability.
00:54:21I know what you're capable of.
00:54:25Really?
00:54:27Oh, please.
00:54:29Put our history behind, will you?
00:54:32I'd pay responsibility to my company too, okay?
00:54:36I didn't take this job for fun.
00:54:40Fine.
00:54:42Let's be clear.
00:54:44I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:54:50Agree, James.
00:54:53We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:55:22Scott, you won't believe what just happened.
00:55:26What's the matter?
00:55:28What's the matter?
00:55:38Wait, Mabel, your 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 the feeling that there's more to it.
00:56:01I think we have to wait for her move.
00:56:04I need to find out what's really going on.
00:56:07But I can't do it alone.
00:56:08Will you help me, Scott?
00:56:10Of course.
00:56:11Happy to help.
00:56:12She wants you involved in a realistic project.
00:56:15But it's more than just business.
00:56:17I'm sure of it.
00:56:19I have the same feeling.
00:56:21Nothing is ever clear about her.
00:56:23I don't want me to have to worry about this.
00:56:25She's working on an important artwork.
00:56:28And I promised I'll protect her.
00:56:31Of course.
00:56:33I would try my best to find our victorious true intent.
00:56:37Thanks, man.
00:56:38What should I do without you?
00:56:53James, are you okay?
00:56:55You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:56:59It's great to make you work, babe.
00:57:01Just step with work, you know.
00:57:04All right.
00:57:05It's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:57:08You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:57:12If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:57:18Babe, it shouldn't worry you.
00:57:21I can handle it myself.
00:57:23Trust me.
00:57:24Okay.
00:57:25Just remember, I'm always here for you.
00:57:29If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm here.
00:57:37Thank you, Mia.
00:57:39You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to me.
00:57:44James, we're one.
00:57:47There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:57:56Hi, Jimmy.
00:58:01Victoria.
00:58:03What an unexpected surprise.
00:58:06I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:58:11I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:58:15I've moved on with my life.
00:58:17I have Mia, and she means everything to me.
00:58:21Oh, please, James.
00:58:24You wouldn't let a college flinch cloud your judgment after all these years.
00:58:29Right?
00:58:31Spare me the details.
00:58:33You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:58:37What did you expect me to do, James?
00:58:40You were a living college.
00:58:42And I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:58:46I need someone to back me up.
00:58:49I 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.
00:59:03Come back here, dummy.
00:59:06I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:59:17James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:59:22I just wanted to be in your life.
00:59:30And you are a column with us to check the new site for our project.
00:59:36It's required by our partnership contracts.
00:59:46Mia, I've got a business trip coming up.
00:59:50It's a sudden opportunity, and I need to leave for a few days.
00:59:55Oh, really?
00:59:56That's unexpected.
00:59:58When do you leave?
01:00:00Tomorrow morning.
01:00:02I know, it's short notice.
01:00:05But I'll be back before you know it.
01:00:08All right, James.
01:00:09Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
01:00:13I will.
01:00:15I'll miss you so much.
01:00:35James.
01:00:38We've had quite a bit.
01:00:43Is everything all right?
01:00:47This is short.
01:00:50Thanks.
01:01:03Everything's fine, James.
01:01:05So, believe me.
01:01:17You've had enough tonight, James.
01:01:21Let me make sure you're comfortable.
01:01:26Doria, what are you doing?
01:01:30Don't you worry. We'll have a little chat.
01:01:35You're safe with me.
01:01:37What do you want?
01:01:41You, James. I want you.
01:01:46I want all of you.
01:01:48Your body, your love, and even your soul.
01:01:58Stop. I'm married.
01:02:03I don't mind.
01:02:06Or maybe this makes you want even more.
01:02:13You enjoy it, don't you?
01:02:16I know exactly how to please you.
01:02:20Yeah.
01:02:22I can do it to her.
01:02:24Oh, come on.
01:02:26No.
01:02:26Darling.
01:02:28We all know about your new contract.
01:02:32Besides,
01:02:34she would never find out.
01:02:39Enough of this is what we're talking about, James.
01:02:54What the hell happened?
01:03:04I can't believe I let it get this far.
01:03:09Don't, baby.
01:03:11What's wrong?
01:03:13Victoria, this is a mistake.
01:03:16Did you set me up?
01:03:17Where are you laying next to me?
01:03:20Oh, you were just so energetic.
01:03:25Stop the games.
01:03:26I'm serious.
01:03:27I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do.
01:03:35Well, well.
01:03:38Let's say we have a stunning night.
01:03:43And I saved some pictures for members.
01:03:50Delete those pictures right now.
01:03:56Why won't you come here and make me?
01:04:00You're playing with fire.
01:04:02I won't be blackmailed or manipulated.
01:04:05Delete them now.
01:04:12You're just no fun, James.
01:04:20I want you to step away from my life.
01:04:23This can happen again.
01:04:26We'll see about that.
01:04:42Oh, Jamie, Jamie.
01:04:45You can never run away from me.
01:04:51Oh, my God.
01:04:53James, you're home.
01:04:55I miss you too, babe.
01:04:57It's good to be home.
01:04:58Tell me everything about your trip.
01:05:01It was a normal business trip.
01:05:03Nothing special.
01:05:05Let's not talk about it.
01:05:06I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
01:05:10Okay.
01:05:11Sure.
01:05:13I'm just so glad you're home.
01:05:30Tell me the truth, James.
01:05:32Is she important to you?
01:05:46She's my ex from college.
01:05:50And also my current business partner.
01:05:54And what about this?
01:05:56Is this part of your business?
01:06:04We...
01:06:08We had a businessman.
01:06:10She set me up.
01:06:12I made a mistake.
01:06:16But it's not how it looks like.
01:06:18I love you.
01:06:19And I don't want her to ruin us.
01:06:24Tell me the truth, James.
01:06:27Tell me the truth, James.
01:06:27What happened that night?
01:06:33Yeah.
01:06:35I tried to stop her.
01:06:38I was...
01:06:40too drunk and also confused.
01:06:45I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
01:06:50You put our relationship on edge.
01:06:53I'm so sorry.
01:06:55I'll...
01:06:56I'll do everything it takes to make this right.
01:07:00Please, don't give up on us.
01:07:07I need some space.
01:07:10Please, just...
01:07:13Leave me alone.
01:07:16I need some space.
01:07:35Samantha?
01:07:36Found anything?
01:07:37Yes, I got a lead.
01:07:39It's been a challenging investigation.
01:07:41But I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley.
01:07:47I'm listening.
01:07:49He went to the same college with Mia.
01:07:52And he developed an obsession over her everything.
01:07:56He's been stalking your life, collecting information, and attempting to get her.
01:08:03This is insane.
01:08:05How did he head so close to us?
01:08:07He used virus illnesses and keep a low profile, which made it challenging to track him.
01:08:15But we've identified his patterns and his current location.
01:08:20I'd advise involving the authorities and getting a restraining order against him.
01:08:27Thank you, Samantha.
01:08:28I appreciate your dedication.
01:08:30You and Mia deserve peace, James.
01:08:33I will continue to monitor the situation.
01:08:36But please take legal action to protect yourself.
01:08:41I'll take care of her.
01:08:43It's time for me to take control.
01:09:04It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think?
01:09:08Who sent you after us?
01:09:10Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan.
01:09:13If you don't tell the truth, I will call the cops on you.
01:09:17Fine.
01:09:19Fine. It was Victoria.
01:09:22Victoria.
01:09:23Victoria.
01:09:23How did she convince you to do this?
01:09:30She told me about your contract marriage.
01:09:33She told me you don't even care about Mia.
01:09:38She promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back.
01:09:44You were manipulated, Richard.
01:09:47You're such a clown.
01:09:57James.
01:09:59I've been seeing you.
01:10:04I thought someone would never want to see me again, huh?
01:10:08Miss me alright?
01:10:12Victoria.
01:10:13I want answers.
01:10:15Why did you hire Richard to stalk us?
01:10:20Richard?
01:10:23Never heard any Richard in my life.
01:10:26I know it was you.
01:10:28He told me everything.
01:10:33Okay.
01:10:34It was me.
01:10:37But I did it for us.
01:10:41For us?
01:10:43I don't know there isn't us.
01:10:52I've always loved you, Jimmy.
01:10:55I just want to be back together with you.
01:11:06Here is the plan.
01:11:09We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
01:11:16We are professionals.
01:11:19We know how to cover our tracks.
01:11:22Good.
01:11:24And remember, I want her unharmed.
01:11:30This is just to make James realized he belongs to me.
01:11:38We understand.
01:11:40You get which one?
01:11:57What?
01:12:04Hello?
01:12:09Who is there?
01:12:10Who is there?
01:12:11Who is there?
01:12:14Who is there?
01:12:16My, my, Mia.
01:12:20What a tangled web we weave.
01:12:27It's me.
01:12:29Victoria.
01:12:31What do you want?
01:12:32I 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?
01:12:44You 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 vet.
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.
01:13:28It's not a negotiation. It'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!
01:13:53Hello, Jimmy.
01:13:55What's the hurry?
01:13:58You 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!
01:14:08Let 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 left 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.
01:14:44But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:14:55Please, put the gun down.
01:14:58You don't want to end up like this.
01:15:01Mia is the only one in love.
01:15:19You're so scared.
01:15:20We're sober now.
01:15:22You're safe.
01:15:24I was so scared, James.
01:15:28I thought I'd never see you again.
01:15:32I know.
01:15:33I was scared too.
01:15:35But here we are.
01:15:38And I'll always protect you.
01:15:41You've ruined 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?
01:15:57No.
01:15:58I never wanted to hurt you.
01:16:01I was scared.
01:16:03And we lost control.
01:16:05I didn't know how to handle it, so...
01:16:09I decided not to tell you.
01:16:11I'm so sorry.
01:16:13You should have trusted me, James.
01:16:16I'm the...
01:16:18kind of woman you can...
01:16:21fight with.
01:16:23Yeah.
01:16:25Yeah.
01:16:45Are you okay?
01:16:47You scared the hell out of me.
01:16:50It's okay.
01:16:52I feel better now.
01:16:54I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:16:58I guess...
01:17:00tonight's events...
01:17:02took a lot out of me.
01:17:05I'm so sorry for everything that has happened.
01:17:11I love you.
01:17:13And I guess...
01:17:16carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:17:23What?
01:17:25What did you just say?
01:17:29Well...
01:17:30I've been having some...
01:17:31fainting incidents recently, so...
01:17:36I went to the hospital by myself, and...
01:17:41it looks like...
01:17:43in eight months...
01:17:44you'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!
01:18:06This is the most exciting moment in my life!
01:18:10I knew you would be happy.
01:18:15James...
01:18:15with the baby coming...
01:18:17and 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...
01:18:28we have to tell them...
01:18:30they have a grandchild on the way.
01:18:33You're right, Mia.
01:18:35It's time to be honest with them.
01:18:43I'm so happy!
01:18:46You know, Mia...
01:18:47I was thinking...
01:18:48I want the girl!
01:18:50She'll have your eyes and my smile!
01:18:52Oh, really?
01:18:54I'm imagining a boy...
01:18:56with your intelligence...
01:18:59and my sense of beauty.
01:19:02But...
01:19:03as long as the little one is healthy...
01:19:05I'm satisfied.
01:19:07I've never been more excited about the future.
01:19:09Me too, James.
01:19:11This journey...
01:19:13our journey...
01:19:15it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:19:18Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:19:21And maybe...
01:19:22just maybe...
01:19:23we'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.
01:19:44This looks amazing.
01:19:46I love the nuggets.
01:19:50I believe in us, James.
01:19:54We've gone through a lot of challenges...
01:19:57that 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.
01:20:19We'll face it together.

01:20:39And...
