00:00:00Fake boyfriend? Interesting.
00:00:09I just can't believe we did that.
00:00:13Mia, will you marry me?
00:00:15Yes! Oh my god.
00:00:20I can sing too.
00:00:23Perhaps this will help with your memory.
00:00:31I thought as much.
00:00:33It's me.
00:00:34What about my dad?
00:00:36She would never find out.
00:00:41Now this is what we are talking about, James.
00:01:01Anyone here?
00:01:03What do you want from me?
00:01:16It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think?
00:01:24Please, put the gun down.
00:01:27You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:30Mia is the only one in love.
00:01:58Max Allen. Neat.
00:02:03Marriage. Suffocating.
00:02:08Tell me about it.
00:02:11Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:02:16Family pressures, right?
00:02:19Want to talk?
00:02:21Yes.
00:02:26My family have been on my case for years.
00:02:29It's likely they have already chosen my future spouse.
00:02:36My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:02:42Max Allen. Neat.
00:02:44I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:02:48I'm Mia. Pleasure to meet you.
00:02:54It's our endless battle.
00:02:59It's my new comrade.
00:03:03James.
00:03:15James, right? Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:19Mia, it must be fate.
00:03:22That or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:27Scotch. Neat.
00:03:29Got it.
00:03:31How are things going on your end?
00:03:34My mom calls me every single day
00:03:37to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:03:41And what was your response?
00:03:45I said yes just to stop her calls,
00:03:48but I don't think there's any... you?
00:03:52My parents are obsessed with my kids,
00:03:55even though I'm still single.
00:03:57Scotch, please.
00:04:02Here. To our endless battle.
00:04:11Mia, I've been thinking.
00:04:14Why don't we help each other out here?
00:04:32What do you mean?
00:04:35Maybe we can be the plus one for each other
00:04:38so our families will stop pushing us.
00:04:41Fake boyfriends? Interesting.
00:04:45Only once, and we can be free for a long time.
00:04:49It's not what I usually do,
00:04:52but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:04:56These nights just keep getting more interesting.
00:04:59Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:05:02Not yet. Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:05It's okay, boyfriend.
00:05:08Why don't you introduce yourself more to me?
00:05:11Well, I own a real estate company.
00:05:14We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:17You sure look like a boss.
00:05:20The Scotch gives it away.
00:05:22Alright, enough about me.
00:05:24Tell me something about yourself.
00:05:26Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner.
00:05:30Not to show off,
00:05:32but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:05:36Wait, are you Mia Davis?
00:05:39That Mia Davis?
00:05:41In the flesh, darling.
00:05:48I understand the emergence,
00:05:50but this is not how negotiation works.
00:05:53I need this to be done in three days.
00:05:56Our investors are not going to wait for us.
00:05:58Anderson, I assure you we are doing everything we can.
00:06:03I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:06:06We won't let you down.
00:06:23Hey there.
00:06:38Mia, what a pleasant surprise.
00:06:41How did you have time to call me today?
00:06:43Is this a bad time?
00:06:45You sound like you've had a rough day.
00:06:47It was one of those days.
00:06:50Well, sounds like you could use a break.
00:06:53How about a drink to unwind later?
00:06:56Let me check.
00:07:00Yeah, I can really use that.
00:07:02I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:07:12Knowing my mom, she'll definitely want you to stay over.
00:07:16So we'll probably spend three days in one bedroom.
00:07:20After that, we'll be free to go back to our regular lives.
00:07:24Sounds like a plan.
00:07:34Here we go, James.
00:07:36Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:07:40Got it.
00:07:46Mom, I'm home!
00:07:48Mia!
00:07:51It's been so long.
00:07:53Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:07:56Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Davis.
00:07:58Mia's told me so much about you.
00:08:00Please, call me Maria.
00:08:03Common name.
00:08:04Help yourself with some cookies before I finish dressing the turkey.
00:08:11So far, so good.
00:08:13Please, keep it up.
00:08:20You know, I'm actually enjoying this date.
00:08:23Me too.
00:08:25I feel like we're a real couple.
00:08:29So, you too.
00:08:32Tell me how you met.
00:08:35Of course.
00:08:37There was a charming little cafe on the 3rd Avenue.
00:08:40Mia was sitting alone, reading a chapter in Eugenics.
00:08:44And I couldn't resist striking up a conversation.
00:08:47Oh, how I met you.
00:08:50I'm so happy you guys met each other.
00:08:54It's been so long for me and the both of us.
00:08:57I'm so happy.
00:09:08Mia, your mom's here.
00:09:10What do we do?
00:09:12Uh, quick, come in here.
00:09:19Come in.
00:09:24Go ahead.
00:09:26Go ahead.
00:09:28Go ahead.
00:09:30Go ahead.
00:09:32Go ahead.
00:09:35Good morning, lovebirds.
00:09:38I can see you had a lovely night.
00:09:41Stop it, mom, you're making it awkward.
00:09:44Look at you, all glowing.
00:09:50How's everything going, princess?
00:09:53Okay, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:09:57Okay, okay, just don't take too long.
00:10:01And shouldn't you get back to the city today?
00:10:12I have to say it was quite a play in your house.
00:10:15It was perfect.
00:10:17They all bought it.
00:10:19Remember how your mom almost caught us in the bedroom?
00:10:22My heart was about to jump out when I heard that knock.
00:10:26But we made it.
00:10:29So, has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit?
00:10:34They just won't let the topic off you.
00:10:37Same here.
00:10:39But now, my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding.
00:10:42I'm going to lose my mind.
00:10:47Let's just share the night we have right now.
00:10:50Well, we still can.
00:10:59You know, James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:11:06I feel the same.
00:11:08I know there's beauty in commitment, but shouldn't it be our own life choice to make?
00:11:14Exactly.
00:11:16I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends.
00:11:20Telling me to rush into a life.
00:11:23Raising kids in a house.
00:11:26Raising kids in a house and giving up all of my freedoms?
00:11:31No, thank you.
00:11:36Wait.
00:11:38I have an idea.
00:11:41It might help both of us.
00:11:43I'm all ears.
00:11:46Thinking.
00:11:48What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:11:53Thinking.
00:11:55What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:12:00Please elaborate.
00:12:03What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:12:08A contract marriage?
00:12:10Yeah.
00:12:11Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life.
00:12:16We'll make a legal contract with maybe separate bedrooms, financial terms and so on.
00:12:22Oh.
00:12:24No feelings should be included.
00:12:26This is huge.
00:12:28I need to think about it.
00:12:31I know.
00:12:33It's not something we do with the person whom you just met.
00:12:36But think about this.
00:12:38The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:12:42So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:12:46It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:12:49It's just, like I said, love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:12:57They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:13:04Get it, Mia. I do.
00:13:06But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:13:09And we need to adapt to that.
00:13:11Our life won't change a bit.
00:13:13Just more freedom with this contract.
00:13:15But what about the no emotions term?
00:13:19Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:13:23It's necessary.
00:13:25We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:13:28It will make things difficult.
00:13:32Well, you do make a good point.
00:13:36I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:13:41But we need to set boundaries, conditions.
00:13:46We'll stick with friendship, contractual partners.
00:13:51Agreed, Mia.
00:13:52I'll write the legal contract, and we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:13:57Oh, and one more thing, James.
00:13:59We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this.
00:14:03We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:14:08Absolutely.
00:14:10Our contract won't affect any of our lives.
00:14:13We can make it done tomorrow.
00:14:15Follow our script, we'll take care of everything.
00:14:19Deal.
00:14:30I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:14:35Yeah, we've got that far, Mia.
00:14:39Let's go through this contract together.
00:14:42Okay.
00:14:46Separate bedrooms.
00:14:49The no feelings clause.
00:14:55And clear financial terms.
00:15:00Yep.
00:15:02We will be committed to each other from now on.
00:15:08Yeah.
00:15:30I just can't believe we did that.
00:15:33So, what's next?
00:15:36We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:15:39I'll propose to you in your apartment and send pictures to our families.
00:15:44Oh, it's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:15:49Yes, then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it.
00:15:53It's all part of the plan.
00:15:55I really want to get this out of my head.
00:15:58Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:16:07Did you turn the camera on?
00:16:11Yeah, it's working.
00:16:17Mia, there is something I've been wanting to ask you tonight.
00:16:20Yes?
00:16:25Mia, will you marry me?
00:16:28Oh my god, James, yes!
00:16:32Oh my god.
00:16:57I can't believe it.
00:17:00I can't believe we just did that.
00:17:03It's all part of the plan.
00:17:15This is our first big show on the stage.
00:17:19We have to make sure that we look like a happy couple in front of everyone.
00:17:25Of course, not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:17:47Another successful play.
00:17:55It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:18:00I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:18:04Focus on the bigger picture.
00:18:07Neither of us wants a real marriage right now.
00:18:10And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:18:18Let's get some rest.
00:18:20Good night.
00:18:21Good night.
00:18:24Good night.
00:18:38Mia, are you okay?
00:18:42Please, open up. Talk to me.
00:18:48I can't do this, James.
00:18:51At the wedding, I saw everyone's faces.
00:18:54They were so happy and blessed us with their whole hearts.
00:19:00I feel like I betrayed every one of them.
00:19:05But we are already here.
00:19:07There is no way of going back.
00:19:11I saw their faces.
00:19:13They believed in us.
00:19:15It was all a huge lie.
00:19:19I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:19:23It's not easy for me either.
00:19:26But we have to hang in there.
00:19:28We can't let them down right now.
00:19:48I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:19:51I wish that too, Mia.
00:19:53But I promise we can get through it.
00:19:56I promise.
00:20:18James, I have something that I want to say.
00:20:25Mia, we agreed.
00:20:29No feelings.
00:20:34I know, but...
00:20:42Sorry.
00:20:45Compliments of a friend.
00:20:49Please enjoy your evening.
00:21:00James, what's this?
00:21:18I'm sorry.
00:21:19I'm sorry.
00:21:20I'm sorry.
00:21:21I'm sorry.
00:21:22I'm sorry.
00:21:23I'm sorry.
00:21:24I'm sorry.
00:21:25I'm sorry.
00:21:26I'm sorry.
00:21:27I'm sorry.
00:21:28I'm sorry.
00:21:29I'm sorry.
00:21:30I'm sorry.
00:21:31I'm sorry.
00:21:32I'm sorry.
00:21:33I'm sorry.
00:21:34I'm sorry.
00:21:35I'm sorry.
00:21:36I'm sorry.
00:21:37I'm sorry.
00:21:38I'm sorry.
00:21:39I'm sorry.
00:21:40I'm sorry.
00:21:41I'm sorry.
00:21:42I'm sorry.
00:21:43I'm sorry.
00:21:44I'm sorry.
00:21:45I'm sorry.
00:21:46I'm sorry.
00:21:47I'm sorry.
00:21:48I'm sorry.
00:21:49I'm sorry.
00:21:50I'm sorry.
00:21:51I'm sorry.
00:21:53James?
00:21:57Where are you?
00:21:59Right here, Mia.
00:22:01Is there any candle?
00:22:08James?
00:22:09So, any clue on that note?
00:22:19Sorry.
00:22:21Hello?
00:22:23I hope you enjoyed the champagne ascension.
00:22:34Hello?
00:22:36I hope you enjoyed the champagne ascension. A gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:22:49Someone knows our secret. What should we do?
00:23:03You know, I've been thinking about the day we met. It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:23:23I know, and I'm glad that I met you. You're such a special woman, and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:23:38You too. I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:23:43Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:23:57It's not a fairy tale. It's a bloody reality. But I still like it. It's our story.
00:24:27What's happening?
00:24:36We're stuck. What do we do? I need to be there on time.
00:24:46Let's call the building. They should come and fix this.
00:24:58There's no signal. We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:25:05We won't. Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this. We just need to be patient.
00:25:17What's that for?
00:25:19Just to give us some strength. Friends can help too.
00:25:23Okay.
00:25:34I can't believe this is happening.
00:25:38Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:25:44You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:25:51James, what if people find out about our contract marriage? They'd be so disappointed.
00:26:00We're doing everything we can. So far, we did good. Everyone is happy.
00:26:07I just think about how far we've come. Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:26:20It's like an endless spy game.
00:26:23I know. But we're in this together. We chose this to take control of our life. And now we are tied together by fate. We are one.
00:26:38I suddenly feel so relieved. Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:26:47I know. I always rush to my friends after a bad day. And here I am, with a dearest friend.
00:26:54And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom, now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:27:01Mine too. My mom called the other day. But when she saw you walk out from the bath, she hung up as soon as she could. But of course, she made fun of us.
00:27:11Or maybe next time I can show up even sexier, and then she can make fun of you some more.
00:27:18I'm sexy now.
00:27:31Maybe we should talk about what just happened. The moment was...
00:27:37I enjoyed it. There is something I never thought I would say.
00:27:41But it's not what we expected. I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:27:47Mia, I have to tell you. I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:27:54I care about you more than I should. I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:28:02I'm in love with you.
00:28:08I actually feel the exact same way.
00:28:15I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:28:19Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection, I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:28:28Let's tell everyone the truth. I'm sure they will understand.
00:28:32Maybe mad at first, but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:28:36Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:28:39I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right. It should be our priority right now.
00:28:57James, our parents aside, I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:29:04Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:29:08Mia, I have no idea, but I hired an investigator. I hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:29:15I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:29:25We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:29:28This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight,
00:29:32bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:29:36You chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:29:45And yet I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:29:49We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:29:52We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage,
00:29:56and we'll for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:30:02We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:30:28Who's there?
00:30:32Who's there?
00:30:41Anyone here?
00:30:43What do you want from me?
00:30:53You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:30:56Where am I?
00:30:58What did I do?
00:31:00I assure you, there is a misunderstanding.
00:31:03Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:31:07I don't know what you want me to be concerned with. I just need you to behave your way.
00:31:12We can talk things out.
00:31:14You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:31:17I will cooperate.
00:31:19If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:31:23Just let me go.
00:31:30Hello?
00:31:48Hello?
00:31:49Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:31:52Mia's life depends on you.
00:31:54Don't bother. You won't recognize who I am.
00:31:57What matters is Mia.
00:31:59You have 24 hours to prepare 5 million dollars if you want to see her alive.
00:32:04Who are you, and what do you want?
00:32:06That is not a question for me to answer. Just do as I said.
00:32:10I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:32:14That's not my concern.
00:32:16Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:32:20I need to be sure she's okay. Let me talk to her.
00:32:23That won't be happening.
00:32:25I swear, if you dare to touch her, I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:32:39I don't know what to do, Scott. They're asking for 5 million in 24 hours.
00:32:43I can't lose her.
00:32:45We'll figure it out, James.
00:32:47I'll do everything I can.
00:32:49I can't lose Mia.
00:32:53I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:32:58We found each other the one we have been looking for our whole life.
00:33:02Oh, no. This was not meant to happen.
00:33:06I have to find her. I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:33:10We will. But who would commit such a horrible crime?
00:33:15Anyone raise a bell?
00:33:17Mia wouldn't hurt anyone. I can assure you.
00:33:20This has something to do with that blackmail we received.
00:33:25Blackmail?
00:33:27Someone has been stalking us.
00:33:29They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:33:32Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:33:39Mark, please, I need your help.
00:33:42Mia's life is in danger.
00:33:44I wish I could, James.
00:33:465 million is a lot.
00:33:49I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:33:53Save it, Mark.
00:33:54When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help you.
00:33:57You're a fucking nuisance.
00:33:59I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:34:15I might be able to cash this out.
00:34:24Thank you for calling CPM Bank.
00:34:26Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:34:30I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:34:32I want to cash it out immediately.
00:34:35I understand the urgency.
00:34:37Please give us a moment.
00:34:45Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:34:48It's for an urgent matter.
00:34:50Sure. Since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:34:55I will be there in 20 minutes.
00:34:57Please get the cash ready by then.
00:34:59Yes, sir. All noted.
00:35:01Great.
00:35:15Is it ready?
00:35:17Yes. Give me the location.
00:35:34I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:35:38Do I need anything to keep you happy?
00:35:40I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:35:43Do I need anything to keep you safe? We're in this together.
00:35:50I thought I'd never see you again.
00:35:53I swear to you, I'll protect you with my life.
00:35:58I want to give you both an update.
00:36:01We are investigating a lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:36:05Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers and bringing them to justice.
00:36:13Thank you, Detective. We appreciate your efforts.
00:36:17I'm sorry to hear that.
00:36:19I'm sorry to hear that.
00:36:22I'm sorry to hear that.
00:36:24Thank you, Detective. We appreciate your efforts.
00:36:32I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:36:38It's not your fault. We'll get through this.
00:36:42Here with you.
00:36:54Here with you.
00:37:06It's been a while since we had a peaceful room like this.
00:37:10Yeah. It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:37:25Mia, you won't believe this.
00:37:30What is it?
00:37:33A company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:37:36They love my pitch.
00:37:38Oh my God, James. That's amazing.
00:37:41I'm going to call my employees to announce this news.
00:37:46And an after-party later?
00:37:50You know me too well.
00:37:53Will you pick me up later for our little celebration?
00:37:57Absolutely. I'll meet you at home after work.
00:38:22Yes. I need you to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:38:25We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:38:29Wow. That's fantastic. I will get that done.
00:38:47Thank you all for your time.
00:38:49I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:38:54Before I finish, I'm just curious.
00:38:57Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:39:01Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:39:04She said you're an old friend.
00:39:07An old friend?
00:39:10I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:39:13You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:39:16For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:39:47What's wrong, James?
00:39:53Who could that be?
00:39:57I don't know.
00:40:00But we're going to find out soon.
00:40:17Samantha, have you found anything?
00:40:20I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:40:23Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:40:26James, we've made some significant progress.
00:40:29I think we're close to uncovering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:40:34I'm all ears. Details, please.
00:40:37We managed to trace the source of the blackmail.
00:40:40At times, we found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:40:44Richard Kingsley? Never heard that name.
00:40:47And why would he do this?
00:40:49We're still working on that part.
00:40:52We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:40:55Thank you, Samantha.
00:40:57Keep me posted on any updates.
00:40:59I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:41:02Of course. We're so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:41:15I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:41:18I tried to call you many times, and you didn't answer.
00:41:21I thought something happened to you.
00:41:24I'm so sorry. I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:41:28Everything's okay.
00:41:30I'm just glad you're okay.
00:41:32I'm safe and sound.
00:41:35Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:41:39I'm sorry.
00:41:40Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:41:44Samantha, the private detective I hired, is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:41:49I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:41:59You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:42:05Contract or not.
00:42:07I feel the same way, Mia.
00:42:08I won't ever want to lose you.
00:42:13I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:42:16It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:42:23It's wonderful.
00:42:25You're really talented.
00:42:27Thank you so much for your support.
00:42:30It means the world to me.
00:42:38Hello?
00:42:47Hello?
00:42:49James, I trust you are well.
00:42:52I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:42:59Sure. Where should we meet?
00:43:03I can rearrange some work to make it.
00:43:06That's great.
00:43:08Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:43:12I'll be at your office at 3 p.m. and we can go over all the details.
00:43:17Thank you for your recognition.
00:43:19I am more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:43:39Hi. I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:43:44My apologies, James.
00:43:46I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events.
00:43:51But our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:43:55Wow. I was not aware of that.
00:43:58Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:44:01It's a great opportunity.
00:44:03She surely is very excited.
00:44:04Hi. I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:44:07My apologies, James.
00:44:09I wasn't aware of that.
00:44:11Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:44:13It's a great opportunity.
00:44:15She surely is very excited.
00:44:34Hi. I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:44:37Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:44:39It's a great opportunity.
00:44:41I'm James Turner.
00:44:43Your...
00:44:49Jimmy?
00:44:51Don't you remember me?
00:44:56I'm sorry, but I can't seem to.
00:45:00Perhaps this will help you to remember.
00:45:08I've thought as much.
00:45:10It's me.
00:45:12Your beloved Mabel.
00:45:16Mabel?
00:45:18What the...
00:45:30You know, Mabel.
00:45:32Next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:45:35I know, babe.
00:45:37I can't believe you're graduating.
00:45:40Time did fly.
00:45:42Life after college.
00:45:44It's a bit scary.
00:45:46But I'm so excited.
00:45:48I want to work in real estate.
00:45:50I want to work in real estate.
00:45:52I want to work in real estate.
00:45:54I want to work in real estate.
00:45:56I want to work in real estate.
00:45:57I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:46:02I'm sure nothing can stop you from your goal.
00:46:10I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:46:13Yeah, I know.
00:46:16Did you lock the door?
00:46:18Of course I did.
00:46:21Hope you won't change after you leave.
00:46:24I won't.
00:46:28I won't.
00:46:40Mabel?
00:46:42James, I can't explain.
00:46:45I'm so sorry you have to find out like this, but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:46:57Ah!
00:47:02Mabel?
00:47:04What are you doing here?
00:47:06It's Victoria.
00:47:08And for business, of course, darling.
00:47:14What are you playing here?
00:47:16What's up with all the charade?
00:47:20Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:47:26You know, for the old time's sake.
00:47:29Old time's sake?
00:47:31You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:47:34What do you want?
00:47:36People change, James.
00:47:38And I just can't let you off my mind.
00:47:44How did you become the president of this company?
00:47:47What are you hiding?
00:47:49A woman like me can get whatever I want with just a little trick.
00:47:55See?
00:47:57I helped you get this project.
00:47:59I've missed you, James.
00:48:02Missed us.
00:48:04We should be together.
00:48:06I'm the only one who can help you.
00:48:09No, Victoria.
00:48:12I won't let you manipulate me.
00:48:14Not again.
00:48:22You have always been a challenge, James.
00:48:25This is not how I imaged our reunion.
00:48:28If you come here to talk about that project, let's get to it.
00:48:31Otherwise, you should leave.
00:48:33Don't be so harsh.
00:48:35You want business?
00:48:37We'll talk about business.
00:48:40Let's get professional.
00:48:43James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our past.
00:48:48I trust you on your ability.
00:48:51I know what you're capable of.
00:48:52Really?
00:48:54Oh, please.
00:48:56Put our history behind, will you?
00:48:59I'm paying responsibility to my company, too.
00:49:02Okay?
00:49:04I didn't take this job for fun.
00:49:07Fine.
00:49:09Let's be clear.
00:49:11I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:49:16Agreed, James.
00:49:18We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:49:20Strictly professional?
00:49:46Scott, you won't believe what just happened.
00:49:48What's the matter?
00:49:59Wait, Mabel? Your ex-girlfriend from college?
00:50:04You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:50:06That's the one.
00:50:08She's now going by Victoria, and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:50:12She wants my help on the project.
00:50:14I can't shake feeling that there's more to it.
00:50:18I think we have to wait for her move.
00:50:21I need to find out what's really going on.
00:50:24But I can't do it alone.
00:50:26Will you help me, Scott?
00:50:28Of course. Happy to help.
00:50:30She wants you involved in a real estate project,
00:50:33but it's more than just business, I'm sure of it.
00:50:36I had the same feeling.
00:50:38Nothing is ever pure about her.
00:50:40I don't want Mia to worry about this.
00:50:41She's working on an important artwork.
00:50:44And I promised I'll protect her.
00:50:47Of course.
00:50:49I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:50:52Thanks, man. What should I do without you?
00:51:06James, are you okay? You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:51:10Sorry to make you worry, babe.
00:51:12It's just stuff with work, you know.
00:51:14Alright. It's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:51:19You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:51:22If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:51:27Babe, you shouldn't worry.
00:51:30I can handle it myself. Trust me.
00:51:33Okay. Just remember, I'm always here for you.
00:51:37If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm here.
00:51:44Thank you, Mia.
00:51:46You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to me.
00:51:50James, we're one.
00:51:53There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:52:01Hi, Jimmy.
00:52:03Hi, Jimmy.
00:52:08Victoria.
00:52:10What an unexpected surprise.
00:52:13I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:52:17I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:52:21I've moved on with my life.
00:52:23I have Mia, and she means everything to me.
00:52:26Oh, please, James.
00:52:28You wouldn't let a college flinch close your judgment after all these years, right?
00:52:35Spare me the details.
00:52:37You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:52:40What did you expect me to do, James?
00:52:43You were living in college, and I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:52:49I need someone to back me up.
00:52:51I was a child.
00:52:53I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria.
00:52:56Victoria, I got over you a long time ago.
00:53:00So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:53:04Come back here, dummy!
00:53:07I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:53:17James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:53:22I just want to be in your life.
00:53:26And...
00:53:29You are coming with us to check the new site for our project?
00:53:33It's required by our partnership contract.
00:53:43Mia, I've got a business trip coming up.
00:53:47It's a sudden opportunity, and I need to leave for a few days.
00:53:51Oh, really? That's unexpected.
00:53:54When do you leave?
00:53:56Tomorrow morning.
00:53:58I know it's a short notice, but I'll be back before you know it.
00:54:03Alright, James. Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
00:54:09I will. I'll miss you so much.
00:54:26Oh, James!
00:54:29You've had quite a bit.
00:54:33Is everything alright?
00:54:37Be straight.
00:54:40Relax.
00:54:51Everything's fine. Just leave me.
00:54:56Just leave me.
00:55:05You've had enough tonight, James.
00:55:08Let me make sure you look comfortable.
00:55:12Victoria, what are you doing?
00:55:17Don't you worry. We'll have a little chat.
00:55:20You're safe with me.
00:55:23What do you want?
00:55:26You, James. I want you.
00:55:31I want all of you.
00:55:33Your body, your love, and even your soul.
00:55:42Stop it. I'm... I'm married.
00:55:46I don't mind.
00:55:49Or maybe this makes you want it more.
00:55:53You enjoy it, don't you?
00:55:57I know exactly how to please you.
00:56:00Mia, I can't do it.
00:56:04Oh, come on, darling.
00:56:07We all know about your little contract.
00:56:10Besides, she would never find out.
00:56:16Now this is what we're talking about, James.
00:56:19This is what we're talking about, James.
00:56:32What the hell happened?
00:56:40I can't believe I let it get this far.
00:56:45What's wrong, baby? What's wrong?
00:56:49Victoria, this is a mistake.
00:56:52Did you set me up? Why are you laying next to me?
00:56:55Oh, you were just so energetic.
00:56:59Stop the games. I'm serious.
00:57:02I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do with you.
00:57:09Well, well.
00:57:11Let's say we had a stunning night.
00:57:16And I saved some pictures for memories.
00:57:23Delete those pictures right now.
00:57:27Why don't you come here and make me?
00:57:31You're playing with fire.
00:57:34I won't be blackmailed or manipulated. Delete them. Now.
00:57:37Now.
00:57:43You're just no fun, James.
00:57:50I want you to step away from my life. This can't happen again.
00:57:55We'll see about that.
00:58:08Oh, Jamie, Jamie.
00:58:11You can never run away from me.
00:58:17Oh my God, James, you're home.
00:58:20I miss you too, babe. It's good to be home.
00:58:24Tell me everything about your trip.
00:58:26It was a normal business trip. Nothing special.
00:58:29Let's not talk about it. I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
00:58:33Okay, sure.
00:58:35I'm just so glad you're home.
00:58:57Hello?
00:58:59Hello, Mia.
00:59:01Who's this?
00:59:02I guess Jimmy didn't tell you about me.
00:59:05I'm Victoria, the president of the company James is presently partnering in.
00:59:10Okay, how may I help you?
00:59:13You see, Jimmy and I have come a long way, and since you're not really married to him,
00:59:19so I guess there is no harm in stepping in.
00:59:23What do you mean?
00:59:25You see, James is mine, and mine alone.
00:59:28James is mine, and mine alone.
00:59:31If you will kindly excuse us so we can be together, that would be great.
00:59:36He would never like someone like you.
00:59:39Oh, please. He showed lots of love to me not long ago.
00:59:43He surely had no time to think of you.
00:59:46I sent you the pictures. Hope you enjoy them.
00:59:58Impossible. He would never do this to me.
01:00:10Hey, what's wrong?
01:00:13Nothing.
01:00:16How was your day?
01:00:19Oh, easy as usual.
01:00:24Who is Victoria?
01:00:28Victoria? Where did you hear that name from?
01:00:32She called me James.
01:00:35She said things.
01:00:38Things I can't believe.
01:00:45Mia, it's...
01:00:47Can you explain?
01:00:49You have to know you're the one and the only one I love.
01:00:58Tell me the truth, James.
01:01:01Is she important to you?
01:01:13She is my ex from college, and also my current business partner.
01:01:20And what about this? Is this part of your business?
01:01:29We...
01:01:33We had a business meeting. She set me up.
01:01:37I made a mistake.
01:01:40But it's not how it looks like.
01:01:42I love you, and I don't want her to ruin us.
01:01:47Tell me the truth, James.
01:01:50What happened that night?
01:01:53Mia, I tried to stop her.
01:01:57I was too drunk and also confused.
01:02:04I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
01:02:08You put our relationship on edge.
01:02:11I'm so sorry. I'll do everything I can to make this right.
01:02:18Please, don't give up on us.
01:02:20Please, don't give up on us.
01:02:27I need some space.
01:02:29Please, just...
01:02:32Leave me alone.
01:02:51Samantha, found anything?
01:02:53Yes, I got a lead. It's been a challenging investigation.
01:02:57But I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley.
01:03:03I'm listening.
01:03:05He went to the same college with Mia, and he developed an obsession over her everything.
01:03:11He's been stalking your life, collecting information, and attempting to get her.
01:03:16This is insane. How did he get so close to us?
01:03:20He used virus, illnesses, and kept a low profile, which made it challenging to track him.
01:03:27But we've identified his patterns and his current location.
01:03:31I'd advise involving the authorities and getting a restraining order against him.
01:03:37Thank you, Samantha. I appreciate your dedication.
01:03:40You and Mia deserve peace, James.
01:03:42I will continue to monitor the situation, but please take legal action to protect yourself.
01:03:50I'll take care of her. It's time for me to take control.
01:03:53It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think? Who sent you after us?
01:04:09Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan.
01:04:13If you don't tell the truth, I will call the cops on you.
01:04:15after us. Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan. If you don't tell
01:04:19the truth, I will call the cops on you.
01:04:22Fine. Fine. It was Victoria.
01:04:26Victoria? How did she convince you to do this?
01:04:33She told me about your contract marriage. She told me you don't even care about Mia.
01:04:41She promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back. You were manipulated, Richard.
01:04:49You're such a clown.
01:04:58James. I've been seeing you.
01:05:04I thought someone would never want to see me again, huh? Miss me already?
01:05:11Victoria, I want answers. Why did you hire Richard to stalk us?
01:05:18Richard? I've never heard any Richard in my life.
01:05:24I know it was you. He told me everything.
01:05:30Okay. It was me. But I did it for us.
01:05:37For us? I don't know there is an us.
01:05:47I'll always love you, Jimmy. I just want to be back together with you.
01:05:53Here's the plan. We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
01:06:09We are professionals. We know how to follow our tracks.
01:06:14Good. And remember, I want her unharmed.
01:06:21This is just to make James realize he belongs to me.
01:06:29We understand. You can watch what?
01:06:46What?
01:06:51Hello?
01:06:56Who's there?
01:07:03My, my, Mia. What a tangled web we weave.
01:07:12It's me, Victoria.
01:07:16What do you want?
01:07:18I warned you to walk away, but you just wouldn't listen.
01:07:23So I decided to teach you a little lesson.
01:07:27See? You cried. You would never be good enough for James.
01:07:34He'll never get away with this. James wants nothing to do with you.
01:07:40We'll see about that.
01:07:43You can't control other people's feelings.
01:07:47You're such a bunny.
01:07:50Maybe Jimmy wanted to have a bet? Why else would he choose you over me?
01:07:56What we have is real. And you need to face the truth.
01:08:02Listen to me carefully, bunny. If you truly care for James, you'll stay away from him.
01:08:08It's not a negotiation. It's a demand.
01:08:11James and I are married, and there's nothing you can do about it.
01:08:18Don't be too confident just yet.
01:08:28Mia!
01:08:30Hello, Jimmy. What's the hurry?
01:08:34You came as soon as you got the message, huh?
01:08:37I only sent you the message to see how much you would sacrifice for Mia.
01:08:42Mia! Let her go. You want me? I'm here.
01:08:48You've got one minute, James.
01:08:51Your precious contract wife, or the woman who's loved you all along.
01:08:59Victoria.
01:09:02Why are you doing this?
01:09:04Why are you doing this? You're risking your own life.
01:09:09You just never believed that I truly loved you, right?
01:09:13I won't even have a life after tonight.
01:09:17But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:09:26Please, put the gun down. You don't want to end up like this.
01:09:31Mia is the only one in love.
01:09:47Hey, it's over now. You're safe.
01:09:52I was so scared, James. I thought I'd never see you again.
01:09:59I know. I was scared too. But here we are.
01:10:05And I'll always protect you. You mean the world to me.
01:10:10I love you, James.
01:10:12I love you too.
01:10:17Why? Why did you betray me?
01:10:21Mia, I never wanted to hurt you. I was overwhelmed and I lost control.
01:10:29I didn't know how to handle it, so I decided not to tell you and I'm so sorry.
01:10:36You should have trusted me, James. I'm the kind of woman you can fight with.
01:10:45Mia? Mia!
01:10:52Are you okay? You scared the hell out of me.
01:10:57It's okay. I feel better now. I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:11:04I guess tonight's events took a lot out of me.
01:11:10I'm sorry.
01:11:12I'm sorry too.
01:11:13I'm sorry to have scared you. I guess tonight's events took a lot out of me.
01:11:23I'm so sorry for everything that has happened.
01:11:28I love you.
01:11:30And I guess carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:11:39What? What did you just say?
01:11:43Well, I've been having some fainting incidents recently, so I went to the hospital by myself and it looks like in eight months you're going to become a dad.
01:12:03What? You're pregnant?
01:12:07Oh my God! I can't believe! I had no idea! You should have told me earlier!
01:12:16I can't believe we're becoming parents! This is the most exciting moment in my life!
01:12:21I knew you would be happy.
01:12:24James, with the baby coming and the incidents behind us, I think it's time we come clean to our parents.
01:12:34They deserve to know the truth and we have to tell them they have a grandchild on the way.
01:12:42You're right, Mia. It's time to be honest with them.
01:12:51I'm so happy.
01:12:53You know, Mia, I was thinking I want a girl. She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:12:59Oh, really? I'm imagining a boy with your intelligence and my sense of beauty. But as long as the little one is healthy, I'm satisfied.
01:13:12I'll never be more excited about the future.
01:13:15Me too, James. This journey, our journey, it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:13:22Surprise can be a good thing, right? And maybe, just maybe, we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:13:36Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:13:39Oh my God! Are you trying to spoil me?
01:13:43Maybe I am. You deserve it.
01:13:46This looks amazing. I love the nuggets.
01:13:50I believe in us, James. We've gone through a lot of challenges and come out even stronger.
01:13:59Tonight is the last step for us to become a real couple.
01:14:06I'm lucky to have you here by my side, Mia. It doesn't matter how angry they get upon hearing the news.
01:14:13We'll face it together.
01:14:19Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:14:28Our marriage started with a lie to me of all of you.
01:14:32And?
01:14:33It was a business arrangement. But over time, we fell in love with each other. We want to make it real.
01:14:43And we'd like to have your blessing for real this time.
01:14:48Well, your marriage, contract or not, has looked pretty real to me from the very beginning.
01:14:57And I'm glad you guys are brave enough to admit the mistakes and go on with your real, happy marriage life.
01:15:08Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:15:13I'll always be there for her. And we have a new member coming to the family soon.
01:15:18I'll always be there for her. And we have a new member coming to the family soon.
