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