00:00:00Big boyfriends? Interesting.
00:00:10I just can't believe we've got that.
00:00:14Mia, will you marry me?
00:00:18Yes! Oh my God!
00:00:22I can sue you.
00:00:27Perhaps this will happen to your memory.
00:00:34I've thought as much.
00:00:37It's me.
00:00:39Will you come off my back?
00:00:41She would never find out.
00:00:45And now that's 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.
00:01:38You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:41Mia is the only one in love.
00:01:44What do you want from me?
00:01:55He is the only one in love.
00:01:56It is the only one in love.
00:01:56It is just what I do.
00:01:57You will be the only one of the ugly ones.
00:01:58And he's the only one in love.
00:01:59That's how the lion's f**k is.
00:02:00The lion's f**k will be bought.
00:02:02Yes.
00:02:03Go on.
00:02:04I don't know.
00:02:09I don't know.
00:02:13You're missing something that doesn't matter my will.
00:02:14Okay.
00:02:18Marriage suffocating.
00:02:23Tell me about it.
00:02:27Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:02:32Family pressures, right?
00:02:35Want to talk?
00:02:42My family have been on my case for years.
00:02:45It's like they have already chosen my future spouse.
00:02:53My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:03:02I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:03:08I'm Mia. Pleasure to meet you.
00:03:14Our endless battle.
00:03:19It's my new comrade.
00:03:37James, right?
00:03:39Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:42Mia? Must be Faith.
00:03:44Uh, or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:50Scotch. Neat.
00:03:52Got 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.
00:04:07And what was your response?
00:04:09Um, I said yes just to stop her calls, but I don't think there's anyone.
00:04:17You?
00:04:19My parents are obsessed with my kids.
00:04:22Even dolls still sing.
00:04:24Specials.
00:04:25Please.
00:04:35Here.
00:04:36To our endless battle.
00:04:47Mia, I've been thinking, why do we help each other out here?
00:05:06What do you mean?
00:05:09Maybe we can do the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:05:15Quick boyfriend? Interesting.
00:05:20Only 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.
00:05:33This night is just getting more interesting.
00:05:36Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:05:39Not yet.
00:05:40Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:43Hey, boyfriend.
00:05:45Why don't you introduce yourself more to?
00:05:48Well, I own a real estate company.
00:05:52We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:55You sure look like a boss.
00:05:58The scotch gives it away.
00:06:00Alright, enough about it.
00:06:02Tell me something about yourself.
00:06:04Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner.
00:06:08Not to show off, but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:06:16Wait.
00:06:17Are you Mia Davis?
00:06:19That 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.
00:06:37Our investors are not going to wait for us.
00:06:40Anderson, I assure you we are doing everything we can.
00:06:45I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:06:48We won't let you down.
00:06:54Give me a shout.
00:06:57Oh.
00:07:22Hey there.
00:07:24Mia, what a pleasant surprise.
00:07:26How did you have time to call me today?
00:07:29Is this a bad time?
00:07:32You 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.
00:07:40How about a drink to unwind later?
00:07:44Let me check.
00:07:48Yeah, I can really use that.
00:07:50I'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.
00:08:26Here we go, James.
00:08:28Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:08:32Got it.
00:08:39Mom, I'm home.
00:08:41Mia!
00:08:44It's been so long.
00:08:47Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:08:50Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Davis.
00:08:52You have told me so much about it.
00:08:54Please, call me Maria.
00:08:57Call my name.
00:08:59Help yourself with some cookies.
00:09:00Before I finish dressing the turkey.
00:09:06So far, so good.
00:09:08Let's keep it up.
00:09:16You know, I'm actually enjoying this day.
00:09:20Me too.
00:09:22I feel like we're a real couple.
00:09:26So, you two.
00:09:29Tell me how you met.
00:09:33Of course.
00:09:35It was a charming little buffet on the third avenue.
00:09:39You know, we're sitting alone, reading a chat with you.
00:09:42You did it.
00:09:43You were really striking out the conversation.
00:09:46Oh, how I met you.
00:09:50I'm so happy you guys who met each other.
00:09:54It's been too long for me.
00:09:57It was so, so, so, so deep.
00:10:25What do you do?
00:10:28Uh, quick, come in here.
00:10:36Come in.
00:10:42Good morning, lovebirds.
00:10:44I can see you had a lovely night.
00:10:47Stop it, Mom, you're making it awkward.
00:10:51Look at you, all glowing.
00:10:58I'll do everything for my princess.
00:11:00Okay, um, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:11:07Okay, okay, just don't take too long.
00:11:10And shouldn't you get back to the city today?
00:11:22I have to say, it was quite a play in your house.
00:11:25It was perfect. They all bought it.
00:11:29Remember how your mom almost caught us in the bedroom.
00:11:33My heart was about to jump out when I heard that knock.
00:11:37But we made it.
00:11:41So, has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit?
00:11:47They just won't let the topic off you.
00:11:49Same here.
00:11:51But now, my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding.
00:11:55I'm gonna lose my mind.
00:12:01Let's just share the night we have right now.
00:12:04Well, we still can.
00:12:17You know, James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:12:25I feel the same.
00:12:27I know there's beauty in commitment, but...
00:12:30Shouldn't it be our own life choice to make?
00:12:34Exactly.
00:12:35I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends.
00:12:40Telling me to rush into a life?
00:12:44Raising 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.
00:13:03I'm all yours.
00:13:09What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:13:17What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:13:22Please elaborate.
00:13:26What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:13:31A contract marriage?
00:13:33Yeah.
00:13:35Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life.
00:13:39We'll make a legal contract with...
00:13:42Maybe separate bedrooms?
00:13:44Financial terms and so on?
00:13:47Oh.
00:13:48No feelings should be included.
00:13:50This is huge.
00:13:53I need to think about it.
00:13:57I know.
00:13:57It's not something to deal with the person whom you just met.
00:14:02But think about it.
00:14:04The 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.
00:14:17It's just...
00:14:18Like I said, love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:14:25They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:14:33You get it, Mia. I do.
00:14:35But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:14:38And we need to adapt to that.
00:14:40Our life won't change a bit.
00:14:42Just more freedom with this contract.
00:14:45But...
00:14:46What about the no emotions term?
00:14:50Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:14:54It's necessary.
00:14:55We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:14:59If we'll make things difficult.
00:15:05You do make a good point.
00:15:09I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:15:15But...
00:15:15We need to set boundaries.
00:15:18Conditions.
00:15:20We'll stick with friendship.
00:15:22Contractual 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.
00:15:32Oh, and one more thing, James.
00:15:34We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this.
00:15:38We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:15:44Absolutely.
00:15:46Our contract won't affect any of our lives.
00:15:49We can make it done tomorrow.
00:15:52While our script will take care of everything.
00:15:56Deal.
00:16:08I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:16:13We can make it done tomorrow.
00:16:15We've got that formula.
00:16:19Let's go through this country together.
00:16:22Okay.
00:16:26Separate bedrooms.
00:16:29The no-feelings clause.
00:16:37And...
00:16:38Clear financial terms.
00:16:41Yep.
00:16:44We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:17:15I just can't believe we did that.
00:17:19So...
00:17:20What's next?
00:17:22We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:17:25I'll propose to you in your apartment.
00:17:28And send features to our families.
00:17:30Oh.
00:17:32It'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?
00:18:00Did you turn the camera on?
00:18:03Yeah.
00:18:04It's working.
00:18:09Mia.
00:18:10There is something I'm wanting to ask you tonight.
00:18:13Yes?
00:18:18Mia.
00:18:20Will you marry me?
00:18:21Oh my God, James.
00:18:23Yes!
00:18:29Oh my God.
00:18:55I can't believe we just did that.
00:18:59It's all part of the plan.
00:19:12It's all part of the plan.
00:19:12This is our first big show on the stage.
00:19:17We have to make sure that we look like a happy couple in front of everyone.
00:19:26Of course.
00:19:27Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:19:51I don't know.
00:19:53You're right.
00:19:53Oh my God.
00:19:55Oh my God.
00:19:58You're right.
00:19:59Oh my God.
00:20:00Oh my God.
00:20:02Oh my God.
00:20:03And I'm sorry.
00:20:07Oh my God.

00:24:28Right here, Mia.
00:24:30Is there any candle?
00:24:38James?
00:24:45So, any clue on that note?
00:25:08Hello?
00:25:10I hope you enjoyed the champagne and sent you a gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:25:25If someone knows our secret, what should we do?
00:25:53You know, I've been thinking about the date we met.
00:25:58It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:26:06I know, and I'm glad that I met you.
00:26:09You're such a special woman, and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:26:19You too.
00:26:21I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:26:33Even though it's a dramatic faith wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:26:47It's not a fairy tale.
00:26:50It's a bloody reality.
00:26:53But I still like it.
00:26:55It's our story.
00:27:23It's our story.
00:27:27It's our story.
00:27:28We'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.
00:27:51We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:27:55We won't.
00:27:56Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:28:01We just need to be patient.
00:28:09What's that for?
00:28:10Just to give us some strength.
00:28:13Friends can help too.
00:28:15Okay.
00:28:27I 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?
00:28:52They'd be so disappointed.
00:28:56We're doing everything we can.
00:28:58So far, we did good.
00:29:00Everyone is happy.
00:29:04I just think about how far we've come.
00:29:08Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:29:18It's like an endless spy game.
00:29:22I know.
00:29:24But we're in this together.
00:29:26We chose this to take control of our life.
00:29:30And now we are tied together by fate.
00:29:33We are one.
00:29:38I suddenly feel so relieved.
00:29:42Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:29:48I know.
00:29:49I always rush to my friends after a bad day.
00:29:52And here I am, with a dearest friend.
00:29:57And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom, now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:30:04Mine too.
00:30:05My mom called the other day.
00:30:07But when she saw you walk up from the bath, she hung up as soon as she could.
00:30:12But of course, she made fun of us.
00:30:16Or 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...
00:30:45I enjoyed it.
00:30:46There is something I never thought I would say.
00:30:50But it's not what we expected.
00:30:53I 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.
00:31:04I care about you more than I should.
00:31:07I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:31:13I'm in love with you.
00:31:21I actually feel the exact same way.
00:31:27I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:31:32Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection,
00:31:37I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:31:42Let's tell everyone the truth.
00:31:44I'm sure that wouldn't stand.
00:31:46Maybe mad at first, but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:31:50Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:31:53I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right.
00:31:56It should be our priority right now.
00:31:58I know, but it's time to stop.
00:32:00My family will be happy for us.
00:32:00I just want to stay safe,
00:32:00I think it's time to stop.
00:32:02I'll do the truth.
00:32:02I'll do the truth.
00:32:13James, our parents aside,
00:32:16I'm really worried about that blackmail
00:32:19that we received at the bar.
00:32:21Who would be so interested
00:32:23in our personal matters?
00:32:26Mia, I have no idea. But I hired an investigator, hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:32:34I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:32:44We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:32:48This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight,
00:32:51bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:32:56I 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.
00:33:15We'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?
00:34:09Anyone here? What do you want from me?
00:34:22You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:34:25Where am I?
00:34:28What 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.
00:34:43We can talk things out.
00:34:45You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:34:48I will cooperate.
00:34:51If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:34:56Just let me go.
00:35:23Hello?
00:35:24Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:35:28Maya's life depends on you.
00:35:30Don't bother.
00:35:31You won't recognize who I am.
00:35:33What matters is, Maya.
00:35:35You have 24 hours to prepare $5 million if you want to see her alive.
00:35:41Who are you, and what do you want?
00:35:44That 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. Let 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. They're asking for $5 million in 24 hours.
00:36:25I can't lose her.
00:36:27Well, figure it out, James. I'll do everything I can.
00:36:32I can't lose Mia.
00:36:36I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:36:42We found each other the one. We have been looking for her whole life.
00:36:46Oh, no. This was not meant to happen.
00:36:50I have to find her. I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:36:55We will. But who will commit such a horrible crime? Anyone ring the bell?
00:37:03Mia wouldn't hurt anyone. I can assure you. This has something to do with that blackmail we received.
00:37:12Blackmail?
00:37:13No.
00:37:14Someone has been stalking us. They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:37:20Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:37:27Mark, please. I need your help. Mia's life is in danger.
00:37:33I wish I could, James. 5 million is a lot. I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:37:43Save it, Mark. When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help.
00:37:47You're a fucking nuisance. I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:38:10I might be able to catch this out.
00:38:19Thank you for calling CPM Bank. Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:38:26I have a certificate of deposit with your bank. I want to cash it out immediately.
00:38:32I understand the urgency. Please give us a moment.
00:38:45Can you get money for me in an hour? It's for an urgent matter.
00:38:50Sure. Since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:38:55I will be there in 20 minutes. Please get the cash ready by then.
00:39:00Yes, sir. I'll note it.
00:39:01Great.
00:39:03Great.
00:39:18Is it ready?
00:39:20Yes. Give me the location.
00:39:23Boom!
00:39:40I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:39:45Do anything to keep you safe. We're in this together.
00:39:53I thought I'd never see you again.
00:39:56I swear to you.
00:39:58I'll protect 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.
00:40:21Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers and bringing them to justice.
00:40:30Thank you, Saki. We appreciate your efforts.
00:40:39I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:40:46It's not your fault.
00:40:49We'll get from this.
00:40:51Here we go.
00:41:17It's been a while since we had a busy room like this.
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:23It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:41:39Mia.
00:41:40You won't believe this.
00:41:45What is it?
00:41:47A company chose us to partner on a luxury project.
00:41:51They love my pitch.
00:41:53Oh my god, James. That's amazing.
00:41:57I'm gonna call my employees to announce this news.
00:42:03And an after party later?
00:42:06You know me too well.
00:42:10Will you pick me up later for a little celebration?
00:42:15Absolutely. I'll meet you at home after work.
00:42:42Yes. I needed to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:42:45We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:42:50Wow. That's fantastic. I will gather them.
00:43:11Thank 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?
00:43:26Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:43:30She said you're an old friend.
00:43:33An old friend?
00:43:35I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:43:40You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:43:44For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:44:24What's wrong, James?
00:44:31What could that be?
00:44:35I don't know.
00:44:38but we are going to find out soon.
00:44:51Samantha, have you found anything?
00:44:53I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:44:56Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:44:59James, we've made some significant progress.
00:45:02I think we are close to uncovering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:45:09I'm only yours. Details please.
00:45:12We managed to trace the source of the blackmail attempts.
00:45:16We found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:45:20Richard Kingsley? Never heard that name.
00:45:24And why would he do this?
00:45:26We 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.
00:45:40Of course, we are so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:46:01I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:46:04I tried to call you many times and you didn't answer.
00:46:07I thought something happened to you.
00:46:11I'm so sorry. I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:46:15Everything's okay.
00:46:17I'm just glad you're okay.
00:46:20I'm safe and sound.
00:46:22Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:46:27Samantha, the private detective I heard 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.
00:46:55I won't ever want to lose you.
00:47:00I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:47:03It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:47:11It's wonderful. You're really talented.
00:47:16Thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me.
00:47:36Hello?
00:47:38James, I trust you are well.
00:47:42I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled regarding the latest project we are partnering up
00:47:49on.
00:47:49Sure. Where should we meet?
00:47:54I can rearrange some work together.
00:47:58That's great.
00:47:59Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:48:04I'll be at your office at 3pm and we can go over all the details.
00:48:10Thank you for your recognition.
00:48:12I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:48:38Hi. I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:48:44My 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.
00:48:57Wow. I was not aware of that.
00:49:00Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:49:03It's a great opportunity.
00:49:05She surely is very excited about this.
00:49:43I'm James Sterner.
00:49:47You're...
00:49:52Jimmy?
00:49:54Don't you remember me?
00:50:01I'm sorry, but I can see you.
00:50:07Perhaps this will help us remember.
00:50:15I've heard as much.
00:50:44It's me.
00:50:51You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:50:56I know, babe.
00:50:57I can't believe you're graduating.
00:51:01I'm deep-like.
00:51:02Life after college.
00:51:04It's a bit scary, but I'm so excited.
00:51:09I 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.
00:51:23I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:51:27Yeah, I know.
00:51:30Should you lock the door?
00:51:31Of course I do.
00:51:36I hope you won't change it to me.
00:51:39I won't.
00:51:55Mabel?
00:51:57James, I can't explain.
00:52:01I'm so sorry you have to find out like this, but Mabel and I have been together for a while
00:52:06now.
00:52:20Mabel?
00:52:22What are you doing here?
00:52:24It's Victoria.
00:52:27And for business, of course, darling.
00:52:34What are you playing here?
00:52:36What's up with all the charade?
00:52:41Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:52:47You know, for the old time's sake.
00:52:51For the old time's sake?
00:52:53He cheated on me with my best friend.
00:52:56What do you want?
00:52:58People change, James.
00:53:02And...
00:53:03I just can't watch from my mind.
00:53:07How did you become the president of this group?
00:53:11What are you hiding?
00:53:13A woman like me can get whatever I want.
00:53:17It's just a little trick.
00:53:20See?
00:53:21I helped you out this project.
00:53:24I've missed you, James.
00:53:26Missed us.
00:53:29We should be together.
00:53:31I'm the only one who can help you.
00:53:35No, Victoria.
00:53:38I won't let you manipulate me.
00:53:40Not again.
00:53:49You have always been a challenge, James.
00:53:53This is not how I wish I reunion.
00:53:56If you come here to talk about the project, let's get to it.
00:54:00Otherwise, you should leave.
00:54:01Don't be so harsh.
00:54:05Don't be so harsh.
00:54:05You want a business, we'll talk about business.
00:54:10Let's get professional.
00:54:13James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our past.
00:54:18I trust you and your ability.
00:54:21I know what you're capable of.
00:54:26Really?
00:54:27Oh, please.
00:54:30Put our history behind, will you?
00:54:33I'd pay responsibility to my company too, okay?
00:54:37I didn't take this job for fun.
00:54:41Fine.
00:54:43Let's be clear.
00:54:44I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:54:51Agree, James.
00:54:53Well, you look strictly professional.
00:55:24I won't do anything that goes against my principles.
00:55:25What happened?
00:55:26What's the matter?
00:55:38Wait.
00:55:40Mabel?
00:55:41Your 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 gone by Victoria and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:55:53She wants my help on a project.
00:55:57I can't shake feeling that there's more to it.
00:56:01I think we have to wait for her more.
00:56:04I need to find out what's really going on.
00:56:07But I can't do it alone.
00:56:09Will you help me, Scott?
00:56:10Of course.
00:56:12Happy to help.
00:56:12She wants you involved in a real estate project.
00:56:16But it's more than just business.
00:56:18I'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 Ria 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.
00:56:38Thanks, ma'am.
00:56:39What should I do without you?
00:56:54James, are you okay?
00:56:55You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:56:59It's great to make your work, babe.
00:57:02Just step with work, you know.
00:57:04Alright, it's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:57:09You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:57:12If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:57:19Babe, it shouldn't worry you.
00:57:21I can handle it myself.
00:57:23Trust me.
00:57:25Okay.
00:57:26Just remember, I'm always here for you.
00:57:29If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm here.
00:57:38Thank you, Mia.
00:57:40You 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.
00:58:02Victoria.
00:58:04What an unexpected surprise.
00:58:06I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:58:12I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:58:16I've moved on with my life.
00:58:18I have Mia, and she needs everything to me.
00:58:22Oh, please, James.
00:58:24You wouldn't let a college flinch cloud your judgement after all these years.
00:58:30Right?
00:58:32Spare me the details.
00:58:34You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:58:37What did you expect me to do, James?
00:58:40You were a living college, and 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.
00:58:56I got over you a long time ago.
00:58:59So cut wherever you're playing.
00:59:04Come back here, dummy.
00:59:07I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:59:18James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:59:23I just wanted to be in your life.
00:59:31And you are a column with us to check the new site for our project.
00:59:35It's required by our partnership arrangements.
00:59:46Mia, I've got a business trip coming up.
00:59:51It's a sudden opportunity, and I need to leave for a few days.
00:59:55Oh, really?
00:59:57That's unexpected.
00:59:59When do you leave?
01:00:01Tomorrow morning.
01:00:02I know.
01:00:04It's a short notice, but I'll be back before you know it.
01:00:09Alright, James.
01:00:10Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
01:00:14I will.
01:00:16I'll miss you so much.
01:00:36For you.
01:00:37We have deleted my life.
01:00:39We've had quite a bit.
01:00:44Has everything at let?
01:00:45What?
01:00:47This is short.
01:00:51Thanks.
01:01:03It's fine. Just leave me.
01:01:15Oh.
01:01:18You've had enough tonight, James.
01:01:21Let me make sure you're comfortable.
01:01:26Doria.
01:01:27What are you...
01:01:30doing?
01:01:31Don't you worry.
01:01:32We'll have a little chat.
01:01:35You're asleep with me.
01:01:38What do you...
01:01:40want?
01:01:42You, James.
01:01:43I want you.
01:01:46I want all of you.
01:01:49Your body.
01:01:51Your love.
01:01:53And even your soul.
01:01:59Stop it.
01:02:01I'm...
01:02:01I'm married.
01:02:04I don't mind.
01:02:06Or maybe
01:02:08I still want you more.
01:02:12No.
01:02:14No.
01:02:14You enjoy it, don't you?
01:02:17I know exactly how to please you.
01:02:21You...
01:02:22You can do it to her.
01:02:25Oh, come on.
01:02:26No.
01:02:27Darling.
01:02:28We all know about your new contract.
01:02:33Besides...
01:02:34She would never find out.
01:02:40Enough of this is what we're talking about, James.
01:02:55What the hell happened?
01:03:04Can't believe I let it get this far.
01:03:10Don't, baby.
01:03:11What's wrong?
01:03:14What's wrong?
01:03:14Victoria, this is a mistake.
01:03:16Did you set me up?
01:03:18Where are you laying next to me?
01:03:20Oh, you were just so energetic.
01:03:25Stop the games.
01:03:27I'm serious.
01:03:28I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do.
01:03:36I don't know.
01:03:37Well, well.
01:03:39Let's say
01:03:39we have a stunning night
01:03:43and
01:03:45I saved some pictures
01:03:47for members.
01:03:51Delete those pictures
01:03:53right now.
01:03:57Why don't you come here and make me?
01:04:01You're playing with fire.
01:04:03I won't be blackmailed or manipulated.
01:04:06Delete them.
01:04:07Now.
01:04:13Which is no fun, James.
01:04:21I want you to step away from my life.
01:04:24This can't happen again.
01:04:27We'll see about that.
01:04:42Oh, Jamie, Jamie.
01:04:45You can never run away from me.
01:04:51Oh, my God. James, you're home.
01:04:56Oh, my God. James, you're home.
01:04:59Tell me everything about your trip.
01:05:01It was a normal business trip.
01:05:04Nothing special.
01:05:05Let's not talk about it.
01:05:07I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
01:05:10Okay, sure.
01:05:14I'm just so glad you're home.
01:05:30Tell me the truth, James.
01:05:33Is she important to you?
01:05:46She's my ex from college and also my current business partner.
01:05:54And what about this?
01:05:56Is this part of your business?
01:05:59Is this part of your business?
01:06:04We had a business.
01:06:10She set me up.
01:06:13I made a mistake.
01:06:16But it's not how it looks like.
01:06:18But it's not how it looks like.
01:06:18I love you.
01:06:20And I don't want her to ruin us.
01:06:25Tell me the truth, James.
01:06:27What happened that night?
01:06:34Yeah.
01:06:35I tried to stop her.
01:06:38I was...
01:06:41too drunk and also confused.
01:06:46I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
01:06:50You put our relationship on edge.
01:06:53I'm so sorry.
01:06:56I'll...
01:06:57I'll do everything it takes to make this right.
01:07:01Please, don't give up on us.
01:07:08I need some space.
01:07:11Please, just...
01:07:13Leave me alone.
01:07:35Samantha?
01:07:36Found anything?
01:07:38Yes, I got a lead.
01:07:39It's been a challenging investigation.
01:07:42But I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley.
01:07:48I'm listening.
01:07:50He went to the same college with Mia.
01:07:52And he developed an obsession over her everything.
01:07:57He's been stalking your life, collecting information, and attempting to get her.
01:08:04This is insane.
01:08:05How did he get so close to us?
01:08:09He used virus, illnesses, and keep a low profile, which made it challenging to track him.
01:08:16But we've identified his patterns and his current location.
01:08:21I'd advise involving the authorities and getting a restraining order against him.
01:08:26Thank 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.
01:08:42I'll take care of her, and it's time for me to take control.
01:09:05It'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.
01:09:18Fine.
01:09:20Fine.
01:09:21It was Victoria.
01:09:23Victoria.
01:09:24How did she convince me to do this?
01:09:30She told me about your contract marriage.
01:09:34She told me you don't even care about Mia.
01:09:38She promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back.
01:09:45You were manipulated, Richard.
01:09:48You're such a clown.
01:09:58I'm trying to look.
01:10:00I've been seeing you.
01:10:04I thought someone never really seen me again, huh?
01:10:09Miss Monica.
01:10:12Victoria.
01:10:13I want answers.
01:10:16Why did you hire Richards to stalk us?
01:10:20Richard?
01:10:23I've never heard any Richard in my life.
01:10:26I know it was you.
01:10:28He told me everything.
01:10:33Okay.
01:10:35It was me.
01:10:38But I did it for us.
01:10:42For us?
01:10:44I don't know if there is or not.
01:10:52I've always loved you, Jimmy.
01:10:55I just want to be back together with you.
01:11:07Here's the plan.
01:11:10We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
01:11:17We are professionals. We know how to cover our tracks.
01:11:23Good.
01:11:23And remember, I want her unharmed.
01:11:30This is just to make James realized he belongs to me.
01:11:39We understand. You get what you want.
01:11:57What?
01:12:04Hello?
01:12:09Who's there?
01:12:16My, my, Mia.
01:12:20What a tangled web we weave.
01:12:27It's me, Victoria.
01:12:31What do you want?
01:12:34I 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?
01:12:45You cried.
01:12:47You would never be good enough for James.
01:12:51He'll never get away with this.
01:12:54James wants nothing to do with you.
01:12:58We'll see about that.
01:13:01You can't control other people's feelings.
01:13:06You're such a bunny.
01:13:09Baby, Jimmy wanted to have a bet.
01:13:12Why else he would choose you over me?
01:13:16What we have is real.
01:13:18And you need to face the truth.
01:13:22Listen to me carefully, Bunny.
01:13:25If you truly care for James, you'll stay away from me.
01:13:29It's not a negotiation. It's a demand.
01:13:33James and I are married.
01:13:35And there's nothing you can do about it.
01:13:41Don't be too confident.
01:13:43Just yet.
01:13:52Mia!
01:13:53Hi, Jimmy.
01:13:56What'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 me.
01:14:07Mia!
01:14:09Let her go.
01:14:10You want me?
01:14:12I'm here.
01:14:15You'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.
01:14:45But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:14:55Please.
01:14:56Put the gun down.
01:14:59You don't want to end up like this.
01:15:02Mia is the only one in love.
01:15:18No.
01:15:19No.
01:15:21We're sober now.
01:15:23We're safe.
01:15:25I was so scared, James.
01:15:29I thought I'd never see you again.
01:15:32I know.
01:15:33I was scared too.
01:15:36But here we are.
01:15:39And I'll always protect you. You mean the world to me.
01:15:45I love you, James.
01:15:47I love you, too.
01:15:52Why? Why did you betray me?
01:15:59I never wanted to hurt you.
01:16:01I lost control. I didn't know how to handle it, so I decided not to tell you and I'm so
01:16:12sorry.
01:16:13You should have trusted me, James. I'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.
01:17:24What? What did you just say?
01:17:28Well, I've been having some fainting incidents recently, so I went to the hospital by myself and it looks like
01:17:43in eight months you're going to become a dad.
01:17:52What? You're pregnant? Oh my God. I can't believe. I had no idea. You should have told me earlier. Can't
01:18:06believe we're becoming parents. This is the most exciting moment in my life.
01:18:10I knew you would be happy. James, with the baby coming and the incidents behind us, I think it's time
01:18:22we come clean to our parents. They deserve to know the truth. And we have to tell them they have
01:18:31a grandchild on the way.
01:18:33You're right, Mia. It's time to be honest with you.
01:18:44I'm so happy.
01:18:46You know, Mia, I was thinking I want the 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. But as long as the little
01:19:05one is healthy, I'm satisfied.
01:19:08I've never been more excited about the future.
01:19:10Me too, James. This journey, our journey, it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:19:19Surprise can be a good thing, right? And 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?
01:19:42Maybe I am. You deserve it.
01:19:45This looks amazing. I love the nuggets.
01:19:51I believe in us, James. We've gone through a lot of challenges and 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, we won't hear in 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 your own.
01:20:41It was a business arrangement, but over time, we fell in love with each other.
01:20:51We want to make it real.
01:20:55And we'd like to have your blessing for real this time.
01:21:00Well, your marriage, contract or not, has looked pretty real to me from the very beginning.
01:21:11And I'm glad you guys are brave enough to admit the mistakes and go on with your real, happy marriage
01:21:22love.
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.
