00:00:00Fake boyfriends? 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 seem to.
00:00:23Perhaps this will help return in the room?
00:00:30I thought as much.
00:00:33It's me.
00:00:34We're beloved, my dad.
00:00:36She would never find out.
00:00:40Now this is what we're talking about, James.
00:00:44Anyone here?
00:00:47What do you want from me?
00:00:50Anyone here?
00:00:51What do you want from me?
00:00:56It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think?
00:00:59Please, put the gun down.
00:01:01You don't want to answer it.
00:01:03Yes.
00:01:04It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think?
00:01:06Please, put the gun down.
00:01:10It's time to tell the truth, Richard, don't you think?
00:01:20Please, put the gun down.
00:01:28You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:30Mia is the only one I love.
00:01:40I'm not going to end up like this.
00:01:47I'm not going to end up like this.
00:01:53I'm not going to end up like this.
00:01:58MacAllen, neat.
00:02:02Marriage, suffocating.
00:02:07Tell me about it.
00:02:12Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:02:16Family pressures, right?
00:02:20Want to talk?
00:02:26My family have been on my case for years.
00:02:28It's like they have already chosen my future spouse.
00:02:35My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:02:42MacAllen, neat.
00:02:44I'm James.
00:02:45James Turner, by the way.
00:02:48I'm Mia.
00:02:50Pleasure to meet you.
00:02:54It's our endless battle.
00:02:59It's my new comrade.
00:03:05James, right?
00:03:17Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:19Mia.
00:03:20Must be fake.
00:03:21That or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:26Scotch, neat.
00:03:28Got it.
00:03:30How are things going, Andrea?
00:03:34My mom calls me every single day to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:03:41And what was your response?
00:03:44Um, I said yes just to stop her calls, but I don't think there's anyone.
00:03:50You?
00:03:52My parents are obsessed with my kids.
00:03:55Even though I'm still single.
00:03:57Scotch, please.
00:04:07Here, to our endless battle.
00:04:11I've been thinking.
00:04:12Why don't we help each other out here?
00:04:21What do you mean?
00:04:26Maybe we can do the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:04:43Fake boyfriends?
00:04:45Interesting.
00:04:47Only once.
00:04:48And we can move free for a long time.
00:04:51It's not what I usually do, but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:04:58This night is just getting more interesting.
00:05:01Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:05:04Not yet.
00:05:05Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:07Okay, boyfriend.
00:05:09Why don't you introduce yourself more to me?
00:05:12Well, I own a real estate company.
00:05:15We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:18You sure look like a boss.
00:05:21The Scotch gives it away.
00:05:23Alright, enough about it.
00:05:25Tell me something about yourself.
00:05:27Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner.
00:05:31Not to show off, but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:05:37Wait, are you Mia Davis?
00:05:40That Mia Davis?
00:05:42In the flesh, darling.
00:05:46I understand the emergence, but this is not how negotiation works.
00:05:53I need this to be done in three days.
00:05:56Our investors are not gonna wait for us.
00:05:59Anderson.
00:06:00I 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.
00:06:12Hmm?
00:06:16What a pleasant surprise.
00:06:28How did you have time to call me today?
00:06:38Mia, what a pleasant surprise. How did you have time to call me today?
00:06:43Is this a bad time? You sound like you've had a rough day.
00:06:47It was one of those days.
00:06:49Well, sounds like you could use a break. How about a drink to unwind later?
00:06:56Let me check. Yeah, I can really use that. I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:07:08Knowing 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.
00:07:26Here we go, James. Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:07:40Got it.
00:07:42Mom, 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 meeting Mrs. Davis. Mia's told me so much about.
00:07:59Please, call me Maria.
00:08:02Common name. Help yourself with some cookies.
00:08:05Before I finish dressing with turkey.
00:08:07So far, so good.
00:08:12Let's keep it up.
00:08:19You know, I'm actually enjoying this day.
00:08:22Me too.
00:08:24I feel like we're a real couple.
00:08:28So, you two.
00:08:31Tell me how you met.
00:08:33Of course.
00:08:37It was a charming little cafe on the 3rd Avenue.
00:08:39Neil was sitting alone, reading a chat for Eugenides.
00:08:43And I couldn't resist striking out the conversation.
00:08:46Oh, how I met you.
00:08:49I'm so happy you guys met each other.
00:08:53It's been too long for me to walk from someone.
00:08:57So, thank you.
00:09:07Yeah, your mom is here.
00:09:08What do we do?
00:09:09Uh...quick, come in here.
00:09:13Okay.
00:09:14Uh...come in.
00:09:15Okay.
00:09:16Okay.
00:09:17Come in.
00:09:18Your mom's here. What do we do?
00:09:25Quick, come in here.
00:09:32Come in.
00:09:37Good morning, lovebirds. I can see you had a lovely night.
00:09:41Stop it, mom. You're making it awkward.
00:09:45Look at you, all glowing.
00:09:51I'll do everything for my princess.
00:09:53Okay, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:09:59Okay, okay, just don't take too long. And shouldn't you get back to the city today?
00:10:04I have to say, it was quite a play in your house.
00:10:15It was perfect. They all bought it.
00:10:18Remember how your mom almost got us in the bedroom.
00:10:21My heart was about to jump out when I heard that knock. But we made it.
00:10:27So, 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. But now, my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding. I'm going to lose my mind.
00:10:43Let's just share the night we have right now.
00:10:49While we still can.
00:10:51You know James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:11:07I feel the same. I know there's beauty in commitment, but shouldn't it be our own life trips to make?
00:11:17Exactly. I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends.
00:11:23Telling me to rush into a life? Raising kids in a house and giving up all of my freedoms? No thank you.
00:11:36Wait. I have an idea. It might help both of us.
00:11:43I'm all ears.
00:11:45Thinking. What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:11:51Thinking. What 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. Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life.
00:12:15We'll make a legal contract with maybe separate bedrooms, financial terms and so on.
00:12:22Oh. No feelings should be included.
00:12:26This is huge. I need to think about it.
00:12:31I know. It's not something we deal with the person whom you just met.
00:12:36But think about this. The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:12:41So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:12:46It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:12:50It'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. And we need to adapt to that.
00:13:10Our life won't change the bit. Just more freedom with this contract.
00:13:14But what about the no emotions term? Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:13:23It's necessary. We 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. I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:13:41But we need to set boundaries. Conditions. We'll stick with friendship. Contractual partners.
00:13:50Agreed, Mia. I'll write the legal contract and we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:13:57Oh, and one more thing, James. We 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. Our contract won't affect any of our lives.
00:14:13We can make it done tomorrow. While our squad will take care of everything.
00:14:19Deal.
00:14:20I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:14:34Yeah, we've got that far, Mia. Let's go through this contract together.
00:14:41Okay. Separate bedrooms. No feelings clause. And clear financial terms. Yep.
00:15:02We will be committed to each other from now on.
00:15:04We will be committed to each other from now on.
00:15:06We will be committed to each other from now on.
00:15:10I 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.
00:15:44Well, 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.
00:15:57Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:16:09Did you turn the camera on?
00:16:12Yeah, it's working.
00:16:15Mia, there is something I'm wanting to ask you tonight.
00:16:22Yes?
00:16:23Mia, will you marry me?
00:16:28Will you marry me?
00:16:29Oh my God, James.
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:31Oh my God.
00:16:35I can't believe we just did that.
00:16:42I can't believe we just did that.
00:17:01It's all part of the plan.
00:17:15This is our first big show on the stage.
00:17:20We have to make sure that we look like a happy couple in front of everyone.
00:17:28Of course, not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:17:48Another successful play.
00:17:56It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:18:00I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:18:05Focus on the bigger picture.
00:18:08Neither of us wants a real marriage right now.
00:18:11And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:18:17Let's get some rest.
00:18:20Good night.
00:18:21Good night.
00:18:26Good night.
00:18:30You did.
00:18:32You're welcome.
00:18:33You're welcome.
00:18:36You're welcome.
00:18:37Mia, are you okay?
00:18:42Please, open up. Talk to me.
00:18:47I can't do this, James.
00:18:50At 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.
00:19:03But we are already here. There is no way of going back.
00:19:11I saw their faces. They believed in us.
00:19:15It was all a huge lie.
00:19:18I 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.
00:19:33I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:19:51I wish that to Mia, but I promise we can't get through it.
00:19:55I promise.
00:19:56I don't know.
00:20:03James, I have something that I want to say.
00:20:25Mia, we agreed.
00:20:27No feelings.
00:20:34I know, but...
00:20:42Complements of a friend.
00:20:49Please, enjoy your evening.
00:20:51James, what's this?
00:21:02James, what's this?
00:21:06Oh.
00:21:22I want you to miss...
00:21:22...
00:21:37Nice.
00:21:37James?
00:21:54Where are you?
00:21:59Right here, Mia.
00:22:01Is there any candle?
00:22:07James?
00:22:14So, any clue on that note?
00:22:22Um...
00:22:29Sorry.
00:22:34Hello?
00:22:37I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you, a gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:22:50Someone knows our secret.
00:22:53What should we do?
00:23:07You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:23:20It 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.
00:23:33You, too. I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:23:34You, too. I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:23:46You, too.
00:23:47You, too.
00:23:51Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:23:56It's not a fairy tale. It's a bloody reality.
00:24:09But...
00:24:10I still like it.
00:24:12It's our story.
00:24:13It's our story story.
00:24:34What's happening?
00:24:35What?
00:24:40We're stuck.
00:24:42What do we do?
00:24:44I need to be there on time.
00:24:47Let's call the building.
00:24:48They should come and fix this.
00:24:59There's no signal.
00:25:01We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:25:04We won't.
00:25:06Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:25:10We just need to be patient.
00:25:11What's that for?
00:25:14Just to give us our strength.
00:25:16Friends can hurt, too.
00:25:18Okay.
00:25:20I can't believe this is happening.
00:25:22Well...
00:25:24At least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:25:26I'm not sure.
00:25:28I can't believe this is happening.
00:25:30Well...
00:25:32At least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:25:34I can't believe this is happening.
00:25:36I can't believe this is happening.
00:25:37Well...
00:25:39At least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:25:43You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:25:50James...
00:25:52What if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:25:55They'd be...
00:25:57so disappointed.
00:25:59We are doing everything we can.
00:26:01And so far, we did good.
00:26:03Everyone is happy.
00:26:04I just think about how far we've come.
00:26:09Since the day we met, there was the gala.
00:26:13The proposal.
00:26:14The wedding.
00:26:16And now...
00:26:18Blackmail?
00:26:20It's like an endless spy game.
00:26:22I know.
00:26:24But we are in this together.
00:26:26We chose this to take control of our life.
00:26:29And now we are tied together by fate.
00:26:31Together by fate.
00:26:32We are one.
00:26:38I suddenly feel...
00:26:40So relieved.
00:26:42Maybe it's because...
00:26:44I'm not alone anymore.
00:26:46I know.
00:26:48I always rush to my friends after a bad day.
00:26:50And here I am.
00:26:51With a dearest friend.
00:26:53And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom.
00:26:58Now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:27:00Mine too.
00:27:02My mom called the other day.
00:27:04But when she saw you walk out from the bath,
00:27:06she hung up as soon as she could.
00:27:08But of course, she made fun of us.
00:27:10Or maybe next time I can show up even sexier.
00:27:15And then she can make fun of you some more.
00:27:18I'm sexy now.
00:27:19Maybe we should talk about what just happened.
00:27:35The moment was...
00:27:37I enjoyed it.
00:27:39There is something I never thought I would say.
00:27:41But it's not what we expected.
00:27:43I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:27:47Mia, I have to tell you.
00:27:49I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:27:54I care about you more than I should.
00:27:56I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:28:01I'm in love with you.
00:28:02I'm in love with you.
00:28:09I 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,
00:28:23I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:28:27Let's tell everyone the truth.
00:28:30I'm sure they will understand.
00:28:32They may be 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.
00:28:42It should be our priority right now.
00:28:43James, our parents aside, I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:29:03Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:29:06Mia, I have no idea.
00:29:10But I hired an investigator, hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:29:15I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:29:24We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:29:28This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight, bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:29:33We chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:29:44And yet, I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:29:48We 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.
00:29:58We'll see you next time.
00:29:59We'll see you next time.
00:30:01Let's go.
00:30:28Who's there?
00:30:40Anyone here?
00:30:42What do you want from me?
00:30:52You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:30:54Where am I?
00:30:56What did I do?
00:30:58I assure you, there's a misunderstanding.
00:31:02Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:31:06Who are you and me?
00:31:08I just need you to be here.
00:31:10We can talk things out.
00:31:13You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:31:16I will cooperate.
00:31:18If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:31:22Just let me go.
00:31:26Hello?
00:31:28Mr. Turner.
00:31:32It's time for you to decide.
00:31:34Maya's life depends on you.
00:31:36Don't bother.
00:31:38You won't recognize who I am.
00:31:40What matters is Maya.
00:31:42You have 24 hours to prepare $5 million if you want to see her alive.
00:31:46Who are you and what do you want?
00:31:48That is not a question for me to answer.
00:31:50Just do as I said.
00:31:51You have 24 hours to prepare $5 million if you want to see her alive.
00:31:54Who are you and what do you want?
00:31:56That is not a question for me to answer.
00:31:58Just do as I said.
00:32:00I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:32:02That's not my concern.
00:32:04Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:32:08I need to be sure she's okay. Let me talk to her.
00:32:22That won't be happening.
00:32:24I swear, if you dare to touch her, I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:32:38I don't know what to do, Scott.
00:32:40They're asking for $5 million in 24 hours.
00:32:42I can't lose her.
00:32:44Well, figure it out, James.
00:32:46I'll do everything that I can.
00:32:48I can't lose Mia.
00:32:52I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:32:57We found each other the one.
00:32:59We have been looking for her whole life.
00:33:01Oh, no.
00:33:03This was not meant to happen.
00:33:05I have to find her.
00:33:07I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:33:09We will.
00:33:11But who will commit such a horrible crime?
00:33:14Anyone ring the bell?
00:33:16Mia wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:33:18I can assure you.
00:33:20This has something to do with that blackmail we received.
00:33:23Blackmail?
00:33:26Someone has been stalking us.
00:33:28They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:33:32Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:33:37Mark, please, I need your help.
00:33:41Mia's life is in danger.
00:33:43I wish I could, James.
00:33:455 million is a lot.
00:33:48I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:33:52Say good, Mark.
00:33:53When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help you.
00:33:56You're a fucking nuisance.
00:33:58I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:34:07I might be able to cash this out.
00:34:09Thank you for calling CPM Bank.
00:34:11Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:34:13I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:34:15I want to cash it out immediately.
00:34:17I understand the urgency.
00:34:39Please give us a moment.
00:34:47Can you get money for me in an hour? It's for an urgent matter.
00:34:52Sure, since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:34:57I will be there in 20 minutes. Please get the cash ready by then.
00:35:01Yes sir, all noted.
00:35:03Great.
00:35:17Is it ready?
00:35:20Yes, give me the location.
00:35:38I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:35:42Do anything to keep you safe. We're in this together.
00:35:47I thought I'd never see you again.
00:35:52I swear to you, I'll protect you with memory.
00:36:08I want to give you both an update.
00:36:10We are investigating a lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:36:14Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers and bringing them to justice.
00:36:23Thank you detective. We appreciate your efforts.
00:36:25I'm so, so sorry about all of this James.
00:36:35It's not your fault. We'll get through this.
00:36:41Here we go.
00:36:43I'm sorry.
00:36:55It's been a while since we had a piss moon like this.
00:37:08Yeah. It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:37:13Mia, you won't believe this.
00:37:27What is it?
00:37:30A company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:37:35They love my pitch.
00:37:36Oh my god James, that's amazing.
00:37:39I'm gonna call my employees to announce this news.
00:37:43And an after party later?
00:37:48You know me too well.
00:37:52Will you pick me up later for our little celebration?
00:37:55Absolutely. I'll meet you at home after work.
00:37:59Yes, I needed to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:38:24We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:38:28Wow, that's fantastic. I will gather down.
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?
00:39:00Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:39:03She said you're an old friend.
00:39:06An old friend?
00:39:08I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:39:11You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:39:15For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:39:19I'm sorry.
00:39:21We'll find out soon.
00:39:25Got you.
00:39:27Got you.
00:39:28Get your job done.
00:39:30I'm not a big fan.
00:39:31I'm not a big fan.
00:39:32I'm not a big fan.
00:39:33I've got you.
00:39:34You'll find out soon.
00:39:35I'm not a big fan.
00:39:36I'm not a big fan.
00:39:37What's wrong, James?
00:39:59How could that be?
00:40:03I don't know.
00:40:04But we are going to find out soon.
00:40:17Samantha, have you found anything?
00:40:20I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:40:22Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:40:25James, we've made some significant progress.
00:40:28I think we are closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:40:33I'm over yours.
00:40:35Details, please.
00:40:37We managed to trace the source of the blackmail.
00:40:39At times, we found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:40:44Richard Kingsley?
00:40:46Never heard that name.
00:40:47And why would he do this?
00:40:49We're still walking on that part.
00:40:52We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:40:55Thank you, Samantha.
00:40:56Keep me posted on any updates.
00:40:58I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:41:02Of course.
00:41:02We are so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:41:05I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:41:23I tried to call you many times and you didn't answer.
00:41:26I thought something happened to you.
00:41:29I'm so sorry.
00:41:30I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:41:32Everything's okay.
00:41:35I'm just glad you're okay.
00:41:37I'm safe and sound.
00:41:39Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:41:44Samantha, the private detective I heart, 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.
00:41:52You 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.
00:42:09I 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.
00:42:20It's wonderful.
00:42:25You're really talented.
00:42:28Thank you so much for your support.
00:42:30It means the world to me.
00:42:33Hello?
00:42:46Hello?
00:42:48James, I trust you are well.
00:42:51I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:42:58Sure.
00:42:59Where should we meet?
00:43:00I can rearrange some work to make it.
00:43:05That's great.
00:43:07Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:43:11I'll be at your office at 3pm and we can go over all the details.
00:43:16Thank you for your recognition.
00:43:18I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:43:21Thank you for your support.
00:43:51meeting myself due to some unexpected events.
00:43:55But our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:43:59Wow.
00:44:00I was not aware of that.
00:44:02Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:44:04It's a great opportunity.
00:44:06She surely is very excited about this.
00:44:21I'm James Turner.
00:44:42You're...
00:44:43Jimmy?
00:44:49Don't you remember me?
00:44:55I'm sorry, but I can seem to.
00:45:01Perhaps this will help you to remember?
00:45:04I've heard as much.
00:45:10It's me.
00:45:12Your beloved, Mabel.
00:45:17Mabel?
00:45:18What the...
00:45:34You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:45:45I know, babe.
00:45:47I can't believe you're graduating.
00:45:50Time did fly.
00:45:51Life after college.
00:45:53It's a bit scary, but I'm so excited.
00:45:56I 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 the 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.
00:46:19I hope you won't change after you leave.
00:46:24I won't.
00:46:39Mabel?
00:46:41James, I can't explain.
00:46:44I'm so sorry I have to find out like this,
00:46:46but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:47:02Mabel?
00:47:03What are you doing here?
00:47:05It's Victorian.
00:47:08And through business, of course, darling.
00:47:14What are you playing here?
00:47:15What's up with all the charade?
00:47:20Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:47:25You 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?
00:47:35People change, James.
00:47:38And I just can't let you off my mind.
00:47:42How 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?
00:47:56I helped you got this project.
00:47:59I've missed you, James.
00:48:01Missed us.
00:48:03We should be together.
00:48:04I'm the only one who can help you.
00:48:09No, Victoria.
00:48:11I won't let you manipulate it.
00:48:13Not again.
00:48:14You have always been a challenge, James.
00:48:25This is not how I imaged our reunion.
00:48:27If 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.
00:48:41James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our past.
00:48:48I trust you and your ability.
00:48:50I know what you're capable of.
00:48:54Really?
00:48:56Oh, please.
00:48:57Put our history behind, will you?
00:49:00I pay responsibility to my company too, okay?
00:49:05I didn't take this job for fun.
00:49:08Fine.
00:49:09Let's be clear.
00:49:11I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:49:17Agree, James.
00:49:19We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:49:21Okay.
00:49:39Scott, you won't believe what just happened.
00:49:48What's the matter?
00:49:49Wait, Mabel, your ex-girlfriend from college?
00:50:04You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:50:06That's the one.
00:50:07She's now going by Victoria, and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:50:12She wants my help on a project.
00:50:14Scott, I can't shake feeling that there's more to it.
00:50:20I think we have to wait for her move.
00:50:23I need to find out what's really going on.
00:50:25But I can't do it alone.
00:50:27Will you help me, Scott?
00:50:28Of course.
00:50:29Happy 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 have the same feeling.
00:50:38Nothing is ever pure about her.
00:50:40I don't want Mia to worry about this.
00:50:42She's working on an important artwork.
00:50:45And I promise I'll protect her.
00:50:47Of course.
00:50:49I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:50:53Thanks, man.
00:50:54What should I do without you?
00:50:55James, are you okay?
00:51:08You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:51:12Sorry to make your word, babe.
00:51:14Just step with work, you know.
00:51:16Alright.
00:51:17It's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:51:21You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:51:23If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:51:29Babe.
00:51:31It shouldn't worry you.
00:51:32I can handle it myself.
00:51:34Trust me.
00:51:35Okay.
00:51:36Just remember, I'm always here for you.
00:51:39If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm here.
00:51:47Thank you, Mia.
00:51:48You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to me.
00:51:52James, we're one.
00:51:55There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:52:03Hi, Jimmy.
00:52:08Victoria.
00:52:10What an unexpected surprise.
00:52:12I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:52:15I'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.
00:52:29You wouldn't let a college flinch cross your judgment after all these years.
00:52:34Right?
00:52:34Spare 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 leaving college.
00:52:45And I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:52:48I need someone to back me up.
00:52:51I was a child.
00:52:52I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria.
00:52:57I 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.
00:53:11James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:53:21I just want to be in your life.
00:53:28And...
00:53:28You are common with us to check the new site for our project.
00:53:33It's required by our partnership contract.
00:53:41Yeah, I've got a business trip coming up.
00:53:46It's a sudden opportunity.
00:53:48And I need to leave for a few days.
00:53:50Oh, really?
00:53:52That's unexpected.
00:53:54When do you leave?
00:53:55Tomorrow morning.
00:53:57I know, it's a short notice.
00:54:00But I'll be back before you know it.
00:54:02All right, James.
00:54:03James, just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
00:54:08I will.
00:54:08I'll miss you so much.
00:54:11James, you've had quite a bit.
00:54:33Is everything all right?
00:54:37Just straight.
00:54:38Relax.
00:54:40Relax.
00:54:52Everything's fun.
00:54:53Just leave me.
00:54:55I'll miss you.
00:54:56You've had enough tonight, James.
00:55:06Let me make sure you're comfortable.
00:55:12Doria, what are you doing?
00:55:16Don't you worry.
00:55:18We'll have a little chat.
00:55:19We'll have a little chat.
00:55:20You're safe with me.
00:55:21You're safe with me.
00:55:23What do you want?
00:55:26You, James.
00:55:28I want you.
00:55:30I want all of you.
00:55:32Stop it.

01:02:54it's been a challenging investigation
01:02:56but
01:02:57I've uncovered some crucial information leads on
01:03:00Richard Kingsley
01:03:01I'm listening
01:03:03he went to the same college with Mia
01:03:06and

01:03:14attempting to get her

01:03:19he used virus
01:03:21illnesses
01:03:22and
01:03:23keep a low profile
01:03:24which made it challenging to track him
01:03:26but
01:03:27we've identified his patterns
01:03:29and his current location
01:03:31I'd advise involving the authorities

01:03:34getting a restraining order against him

01:03:48I'll take care of her
01:03:51and it's time for me to take control
01:03:53it's time to tell the truth Richard
01:03:58don't you think?
01:03:59who sent you after us?
01:04:00someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan
01:04:02if you don't tell the truth I will call the cops on you
01:04:06fine
01:04:07fine
01:04:08fine
01:04:09fine
01:04:10it was Victoria
01:04:11Victoria
01:04:12Victoria
01:04:13Victoria
01:04:14Victoria
01:04:15how did she convince you to do this?
01:04:16she told me about your contract marriage
01:04:18she told me you don't even care about Mia
01:04:21she promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back
01:04:24she promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back
01:04:28you were manipulated Richard richard
01:04:39you were manipulated Richard?
01:04:43you're such a clown
01:04:44you back. You were manipulated, Richard. You're such a clown.
01:04:59James, I've been seeing you. I thought someone never would see me again, huh? Miss me already?
01:05:10Victoria, 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.
01:05:29Okay. It was me. But I did it for us.
01:05:37For us. I don't know there isn't us.
01:05:47I've always loved you, Jimmy. I just want to be back together with you.
01:05:53Here is the plan. We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
01:06:10We are professionals. We know how to cover our tracks.
01:06:13Good. And remember, I want her unharmed. This is just to make James realized he belongs to me.
01:06:30I understand. You get which one?
01:06:47What?
01:06:48What?
01:06:53Hello?
01:06:57Who's there?
01:07:03My, my, Mia.
01:07:07What a tangled web we weave.
01:07:09It's me.
01:07:15Victoria.
01:07:17What do you want?
01:07:19I warned you to walk away.
01:07:21But you just wouldn't listen.
01:07:24So I decided to teach you a little lesson.
01:07:28See?
01:07:30You cried.
01:07:32You would never be good enough for James.
01:07:35He'll never get away with this.
01:07:37James wants nothing to do with you.
01:07:41We'll see about that.
01:07:44You can't control other people's feelings.
01:07:48You're such a bunny.
01:07:52Baby Jimmy wanted to have a bet.
01:07:54Why else he would choose you over me?
01:07:56What we have is real.
01:07:58And you need to face the truth.
01:08:03Listen to me carefully, Bunny.
01:08:05If 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.
01:08:14And there's nothing you can do about it.
01:08:19Don't be too confident.
01:08:21Just yet.
01:08:25Don't be too confident.
01:08:29Mia!
01:08:31Hello, Jimmy.
01:08:33What's the hurry?
01:08:35You came as soon as you got the message, huh?
01:08:38I only send you the message to see how much you would sacrifice for Mia.
01:08:43Mia!
01:08:45Let her go.
01:08:47You want me, I'm here.
01:08:50You've got one minute, James.
01:08:51Your precious contract wife.
01:08:54Or the woman who's loved you all along.
01:09:01Victoria.
01:09:04Why are you doing this?
01:09:06You'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.
01:09:15But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:09:26Please, put the gun down.
01:09:29You don't want to end up like this.
01:09:31Mia is the only one in love.
01:09:33Is the only one in love.
01:09:34Hey.
01:09:49It's over now.
01:09:51You're safe.
01:09:53I was so scared, James.
01:09:56I thought I'd never see you again.
01:09:59I know.
01:10:01I was scared too.
01:10:03But here we are.
01:10:05And I'll always protect you.
01:10:08You mean the world to me.
01:10:10I love you, James.
01:10:12I love you too.
01:10:14But...
01:10:18Why...
01:10:20Why did you betray me?
01:10:22Mia...
01:10:24I never wanted to hurt you.
01:10:26That was all I want and I lost control.
01:10:30I didn't know how to handle it, so...
01:10:33I decided not to tell you and I'm so sorry.
01:10:36You should have trusted me, James.
01:10:39I am the...
01:10:41kind of...
01:10:42woman you can...
01:10:44fight with.
01:10:46And yet...
01:10:48Mia.
01:10:49amiga.
01:10:51Just...
01:10:53Are you okay?
01:10:55You scared the hell out of me.
01:10:57That's okay.
01:10:59I feel better now.
01:11:01I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:11:04I guess...
01:11:07you scared the hell out of me.
01:11:10It's okay.
01:11:11I feel better now.
01:11:13I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:11:15I have scared you.
01:11:17I guess tonight's events took a lot out of me.
01:11:24I'm so sorry for everything that has happened.
01:11:28I love you.
01:11:31And I guess carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:11:40What?
01:11:42What did you just say?
01:11:44Well, 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.
01:12:04What? You're pregnant?
01:12:08Oh, my God. I can't believe. I had no idea. You should have told me earlier. I can't believe we're becoming parents. This is the most exciting moment in my life.
01:12:21I knew you would be happy. James, with the baby coming and the incidents behind us, I think it's time we come clean to our parents.
01:12:35They deserve to know the truth and we have to tell them they have a grandchild on the way.
01:12:41You're right, Mia. It's time to be honest with them.
01:12:52I'm so happy.
01:12:54You 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.
01:13:12Never been 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.
01:13:37Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:13:40Oh, my God. Are you trying to spoil me?
01:13:44Maybe I am. You deserve it.
01:13:47This looks amazing. I love the nuggets.
01:13:50I believe in us, James.
01:13:55We've gone through a lot of challenges and come out even stronger.
01:14:01Tonight is the last step for us to become a real couple.
01:14:08I'm lucky to have you here by my side, Mia.
01:14:11It doesn't matter how angry they get upon hearing the news.
01:14:16We'll face it together.
01:14:21Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:14:31Our marriage started with a live tune of all of me.
01:14:34And it was a business arrangement. But over time, we fell in love with each other. We want to make it real.
01:14:48And we'd like to have your blessing for real this time.
01:14:54Well, your marriage, contract or not, has looked pretty real to me from the very beginning.
01:15:03And I'm glad you guys are brave enough to admit the mistakes and go on with your real happy marriage life.
01:15:15Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:15:17I'll always be there for her. And we have a new member coming to the family soon.
