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