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