00:01:53Scotch neat
00:01:56Oh
00:01:58Things going on
00:02:00My mom calls me every single day to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner
00:02:08What was your response?
00:02:11I
00:02:12Said yes, just to stop her calls, but I don't think there's anyone you
00:02:19My parents are obsessed with my kids even though I'm still single
00:02:24Splash
00:02:34Here to our endless battle
00:02:44Yeah, I've been thinking what do we help each other out
00:02:54You
00:03:01What do you mean
00:03:04Maybe we can do the plus one for each other. So our families will stop pushing us
00:03:09Hey boyfriend
00:03:12Interesting only once we can be free for a long time
00:03:19Not what I usually do but
00:03:22Maybe it's exactly what I need right now
00:03:25This night is just getting more interesting. Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had
00:03:34Okay boyfriend, why don't you introduce yourself to me?
00:03:42We work with main partners on their projects
00:03:45You sure look like a boss
00:03:47The scotch gives it away
00:03:50All right enough about tell me something about yourself. Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner
00:03:58Not to show off, but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already
00:04:04Wait, are you Mia Davis that Mia Davis in the flesh darling?
00:04:10I
00:04:17Understand the emergence but this is not how negotiation works. I need this to be done in three days

00:05:14It was one of those days

00:05:26Yeah, I can really use that I'll meet you at the same bar
00:05:36You
00:05:39Knowing my mom. She'll definitely want you to stay over. So we'll probably spend three days in one bedroom
00:05:47After that, we'll be free to go back to our regular lives. Sounds like a plan

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