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?
00:00:52What do you want from me?
00:00:58Anyone here?
00:01:03What do you want from me?
00:01:05It's time to tell the truth, Richard, don't you think?
00:01:24Please, put the gun down. You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:30Mia is the only one I love.
00:01:35I don't want to end up like this.
00:01:45I don't want to end up like this.
00:01:53Mack Allen. Neat.
00:01:57Max Allen. Neat.
00:02:01Marriage. Suffocating.
00:02:05Tell me about it.
00:02:09Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:02:13Family pressures, right?
00:02:17Wanna talk?
00:02:21My family have been
00:02:25on my case for years. It's like they have already chosen my future spouse.
00:02:33My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:02:41I'm a Kalanid.
00:02:45I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:02:49I'm Mia. Pleasure to meet you.
00:02:53It's our endless battle.
00:02:57It's my new comrade.
00:03:01James, right?
00:03:03Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:07Mia. Must be fake.
00:03:09That or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:13Scotch. Neat.
00:03:15Got it.
00:03:17How are things going on right?
00:03:19My mom calls me every single day to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:03:23And what was your response?
00:03:25Um, I said yes just to stop her calls, but I don't think there's anyone.
00:03:29You?
00:03:31My parents are obsessed with my kids, even though I'm still single.
00:03:41Sponge please.
00:03:57Sponge please.
00:03:59Here, to our endless battle.
00:04:17Mia, I've been thinking, why don't we help each other out here?
00:04:29What do you mean?
00:04:37Maybe we can do the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:04:43Fake boyfriends? Interesting.
00:04:47Only once, and we can be free for a long time.
00:04:52It'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. Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:07Okay, boyfriend. Why don't you introduce yourself more to me?
00:05:12Well, I own a real estate company. We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:18You sure look like a boss. The scotch gives it away.
00:05:23Alright, enough about it. Tell me something about yourself.
00:05:26Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner. Not to show off, but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:05:37Wait, are you Mia Davis? That Mia Davis?
00:05:41In the flesh, darling.
00:05:45I understand the emergence, but this is not how negotiation works.
00:05:53I need this to be done in three days. Our investors are not gonna 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.
00:06:08We won't let you down.
00:06:12Hmm?
00:06:14Hey 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.
00:06:49Well, sounds like you could use a break.
00:06:53How about a drink to unwind later?
00:06:56Let me check.
00:06:59Yeah, I can really use that.
00:07:01I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:07:02Knowing 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.
00:07:23Sounds like a plan.
00:07:24Here we go, James.
00:07:35Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:07:39Got it.
00:07:40Mom, I'm home.
00:07:48Mia!
00:07:51It's been so long.
00:07:53Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:07:56It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Davis.
00:07:57Mia's told me so much about.
00:07:59Please, call me Maria.
00:08:02Common name.
00:08:03Help yourself with some cookies.
00:08:05Before I finish dressing the turkey.
00:08:07So far, so good.
00:08:12Let's keep it up.
00:08:19You know, I'm actually enjoying this day.
00:08:23Me too.
00:08:24I feel like we're a real couple.
00:08:28So, you two, tell me how you met.
00:08:34Of course.
00:08:37It was a charming little cafe on the 3rd Avenue.
00:08:39Mia was sitting alone, reading a chat for Eugenides and I couldn't resist striking out the conversation.
00:08:46Oh, how I met you.
00:08:50I'm so happy you guys met each other.
00:08:54It's been so long for me to have a book of songs.
00:08:57So, thank you.
00:09:07Mia, your mom's here.
00:09:22What do we do?
00:09:24Uh, quick.
00:09:25Come in here.
00:09:26Come in.
00:09:36Good morning, lovebirds.
00:09:38I can see you had a lovely night.
00:09:41Stop it, mom.
00:09:42You're making it awkward.
00:09:44Look at you.
00:09:46All glowing.
00:09:47I'll do everything for my princess.
00:09:53Okay, um, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:09:59Okay, okay.
00:10:00Just don't take too long.
00:10:01And shouldn't you get back to the city today?
00:10:03I have to say, it was quite a play in your house.
00:10:15It was perfect.
00:10:16They all bought it.
00:10:19Remember how your mom almost got us in the bedroom.
00:10:21My 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.
00:10:38But 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.
00:10:49Well, we still can.
00:11:01You know, James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:11:09I feel the same.
00:11:11I know there's beauty in commitment, but...
00:11:14Shouldn't it be our own life trips to make?
00:11:17Exactly.
00:11:17I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends.
00:11:23Telling me to rush into a life?
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.
00:11:42I'm all yours.
00:11:44I'm all yours.
00:11:46Thinking.
00:11:48What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:11:54Thinking.
00:11:56What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:12:00Please elaborate.
00:12:01What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:12:08A contract marriage?
00:12:10Yeah.
00:12:12Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life.
00:12:16We'll make a legal contract with...
00:12:18Maybe separate bedrooms?
00:12:20Financial terms and so on?
00:12:22Oh.
00:12:22No feelings should be included.
00:12:26This is huge.
00:12:28I need to think about it.
00:12:31I know.
00:12:32It's not something we deal with the person whom you just met.
00:12:36But think about this.
00:12:38The 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...
00:12:51Like I said...
00:12:52Love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:12:57They should be based on emotions and...
00:13:00Connection that grows naturally.
00:13:04Get it, Mia.
00:13:05I do.
00:13:06But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:13:09And we need to adapt to that.
00:13:10Our life won't change a bit.
00:13:12Just more freedom with this contract.
00:13:15But...
00:13:15What about the no emotions term?
00:13:19Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:13:22It's necessary.
00:13:24We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:13:28It will make things difficult.
00:13:32Well...
00:13:33You do make a good point.
00:13:36I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:13:40But...
00:13:41We need to set boundaries.
00:13:44Conditions.
00:13:45We'll stick with friendship.
00:13:47Contractual partners.
00:13:48We'll stick with friendship.
00:13:49Contractual partners.
00:13:50Agreed, Mia.
00:13:51I'll write the legal contract.
00:13:53And we should both be clear about all of the terms.
00:13:55Oh, and one more thing, James.
00:13:57We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this.
00:14:00We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:14:05Absolutely.
00:14:06Our contract won't affect any of our lives.
00:14:07We can make it done tomorrow.
00:14:08Follow our script will take care of everything.
00:14:09Deal.
00:14:10I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:14:11Yeah.
00:14:12We've got that far, Mia.
00:14:14Let's go through this contract together.
00:14:15Okay.
00:14:16Let's go through this contract together.
00:14:17Okay.
00:14:18Separate bedrooms.
00:14:19I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:14:20Yeah.
00:14:21We've got that far, Mia.
00:14:23Let's go through this contract together.
00:14:25Okay.
00:14:26Separate bedrooms.
00:14:27No feelings, Clause.
00:14:28And, it's...
00:14:29No feelings, Clause.
00:14:30And, it's...
00:14:31I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:14:34Yeah.
00:14:35We've got that far, Mia.
00:14:40Let's go through this contract together.
00:14:41Okay.
00:14:46Separate bedrooms.
00:14:48Uh, no feelings, Clause.
00:14:56And it's clear financial terms.
00:15:00Yep.
00:15:02We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:15:18I 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.
00:15:48Yes, then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it.
00:15:52It's all part of the plan.
00:15:54I 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.
00:16:18Mia, there is something I'm wanting to ask you tonight.
00:16:22Yes?
00:16:26Mia, will you marry me?
00:16:29Oh my God, James, yes!
00:16:36Oh my God!
00:16:42I can't believe we just did that.
00:16:58It's all part of the plan.
00:17:00I can't believe we just did that.
00:17:02It's all part of the plan.
00:17:04This 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.
00:17:27Of course, not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:17:34Another successful play.
00:17:53It'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.
00:18:18Let's get some rest. Good night.
00:18:21Good night.
00:18:30Mia, are you okay?
00:18:40Please, open up. Talk to me.
00:18:45I can't do this, James.
00:18:49At 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.
00:19:04But we are already here.
00:19:07There is no way of going back.
00:19:10I saw their faces.
00:19:13They 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.
00:19:22It's not easy for me either.
00:19:25But we have to hang in there.
00:19:28We can't let them down right now.
00:19:40I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:19:50I wish that to Mia.
00:19:52But I promise, we can't get through it.
00:19:55I promise.
00:19:57James, I have something that I wanna say.
00:20:25Mia. We agreed. No feelings.
00:20:34I know, but...
00:20:45Compliments of a friend.
00:20:50Please, enjoy your evening.
00:20:55James, what's this?
00:21:05Oh...
00:21:25I...
00:21:26I...
00:21:27I...
00:21:29I...
00:21:31I...
00:21:33I...
00:21:35I...
00:21:36James, where are you?
00:21:59Right here, Mia.
00:22:01Is there any candle?
00:22:04James.
00:22:10So, any clue on that note?
00:22:22Um...
00:22:29Sorry.
00:22:31Hello?
00:22:33I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you.
00:22:39A gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:22:50Someone knows our secret.
00:22:53What should we do?
00:22:56You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:23:06It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:23:13I know.
00:23:15And I'm glad that I met you.
00:23:17You're such a special woman, and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:23:23You too.
00:23:25I'm glad that I met you.
00:23:29Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:23:47It's not a fairy tale.
00:23:50It's a bloody reality.
00:23:54But I still like it.
00:24:10It's our story.
00:24:14What's happening?
00:24:36We're stuck.
00:24:43What do we do?
00:24:45I need to be there on time.
00:24:47Let's call the building.
00:24:49They should come and fix this.
00:24:59There's no signal.
00:25:01We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:25:05We won't.
00:25:06Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:25:10We just need to be patient.
00:25:17What's that for?
00:25:19Just to give us some strength.
00:25:21Friends 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.
00:25:41You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:25:51James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:25:54They'd be so disappointed.
00:25:58We are doing everything we can, and so far we did good.
00:26:04Everyone is happy.
00:26:06I just think about how far we've come.
00:26:10Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:26:20It's like an endless spy game.
00:26:21I know.
00:26:23But we're in this together.
00:26:26We chose this to take control of our life, and now we are tied together by fate.
00:26:32We are one.
00:26:33I suddenly feel so relieved.
00:26:40Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:26:45I know.
00:26:47I always rush to my friends after a bad day, and here I am with a dearest friend.
00:26:52And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom, now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:27:01Mine too.
00:27:02My mom called the other day, but 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.
00:27:11Or maybe next time I can show up even sexier, and then she can make fun of you some more.
00:27:18Sexy enough.
00:27:22Maybe we should talk about what just happened.
00:27:35The moment was...
00:27:37I enjoyed it.
00:27:38There is something I never thought I would say.
00:27:41But it's not what we expected.
00:27:44I 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.
00:27:52I care about you more than I should.
00:27:57I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:28:02I'm in love with you.
00:28:03I actually feel the exact same way.
00:28:16I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:28:18Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection,
00:28:24I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:28:28Let'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.
00:28:48It 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?
00:29:07Mia, I have no idea, but I hired an investigator.
00:29:12Hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:29:15I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:29:18We 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.
00:29:34We 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.
00:30:26We'll find ourselves out of this situation.
00:30:28Who's there?
00:30:40Anyone here?
00:30:42What do you want from me?
00:30:43You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:30:55Where am I?
00:30:58What did I do?
00:30:59I assure you, there's a misunderstanding.
00:31:03Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:31:06Where are you, Mia?
00:31:09I just need you to be here, your wife.
00:31:10We can talk things out.
00:31:14You 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.
00:31:23Just let me go.
00:31:40Hello?
00:31:48Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:31:51Maya's life depends on you.
00:31:53Don't bother.
00:31:54You won't recognize who I am.
00:31:57What matters is, Maya.
00:31:58You have 24 hours to prepare five million dollars if you want to see her alive.
00:32:03Who are you, and what do you want?
00:32:05That is not a question for me to answer.
00:32:08Just do as I said.
00:32:10I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:32:13That's not my concern.
00:32:15Mr. 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.
00:32:22That 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 five millions in 24 hours. I can't lose her.
00:32:45Well, figure it out, James. I'll do everything that I can.
00:32:49I can't lose Mia.
00:32:51I 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.
00:33:01Oh, no. This was not meant to happen.
00:33:05I have to find her. I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:33:10We will. But who will commit such a horrible crime?
00:33:15Anyone ring the 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. Mia's life is in danger.
00:33:44I wish I could, James. Five million is a lot.
00:33:49I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:33:52Say good, Mark. When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help you.
00:33:57You're a fucking nuisance. I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:34:09I might be able to cash this out.
00:34:26Thank you for calling CPM Bank. Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:34:32I have a certificate of deposit with your bank. I want to cash it out immediately.
00:34:36I understand the urgency. Please give us a moment.
00:34:48Can you get money for me in an hour? It's for an urgent matter.
00:34:53Sure. Since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:34:58I will be there in 20 minutes. Please get the cash ready by then.
00:35:02Yes, sir. All noted.
00:35:03Great.
00:35:06Is it ready?
00:35:21Yes. Give me the location.
00:35:23Boom!
00:35:36I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:35:42Do anything to keep you safe. We're in this together.
00:35:50I thought I'd never see you again.
00:35:53Swear to you. I'll protect you with memory.
00:36:06I want to give you both an update. We are investigating the lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:36:15Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers and bringing them to justice.
00:36:20I'm so sorry about all of this, James.
00:36:38It's not your fault. We'll get through this.
00:36:41Here with you.
00:36:50It'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.
00:37:24It's been a while since we've been here.
00:37:25Mia, you won't believe this.
00:37:30What is it?
00:37:32A company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:37:36They love my pitch.
00:37:37Oh my god, James. That's amazing.
00:37:39I'm gonna 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.
00:38:09Yes. 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 gather them.
00:38:39Thank you all for your time. I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:38:54Before I finish, I'm just curious. Why 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.
00:39:06An old friend? I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:39:14You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:39:17For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:39:36What's wrong, James?
00:40:00How could that be?
00:40:01I don't know. But we are going to find out soon.
00:40:08We are going to find out soon.
00:40:17Samantha, have you found anything? I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:40:22Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:40:23James, 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. Details, please.
00:40:36We managed to trace the source of the blackmail. At times, we found a connection to an individual named
00:40:42Richard Kingsley.
00:40:44Richard Kingsley? Never heard that name. And why would he do this?
00:40:49We're still walking on that part. We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:40:55Thank you, Samantha.
00:40:56Keep me posted on any updates. I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:41:01Of course, we're so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:41:05I received these pictures of you in the apartment. I 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. I've been so engrossed in my painting. Everything's okay.
00:41:35I'm just glad you're okay.
00:41:37I'm safe and sound. Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:41:43Samantha, the private detective I heard 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.
00:42:06I feel the same way, Mia. I won't ever want to lose you.
00:42:14I'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.
00:42:24It's wonderful. You're really talented.
00:42:27Thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me.
00:42:43James, I trust you are well. I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled
00:42:55regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:42:58Sure. Where should we meet?
00:43:02I can rearrange some work to make it.
00:43:05That's great. Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:43:11I'll be at your office at 3 pm and we can go over all the details.
00:43:17Thank you for your recognition. I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:43:22My apologies, James.
00:43:42Hi. I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:43:46My apologies, James. I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events.
00:43:55But our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:43:59Wow. I was not aware of that.
00:44:02Maybe you can catch up with each other. It's a great opportunity.
00:44:06She surely is very excited about this.
00:44:16I'm James Turner.
00:44:42I'm James Turner. You're...
00:44:49Jimmy? Don't you remember me?
00:44:56I'm sorry, but I can seem to.
00:45:00Perhaps this will help you to remember?
00:45:08I thought as much.
00:45:09I thought as much. It's me, your beloved Mabel.
00:45:16Mabel?
00:45:18What the...
00:45:39You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:45:45I know, babe. I can't believe you're graduating. Time did fly.
00:45:51Life after college. It's a bit scary, but I'm so excited.
00:45:57I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:46:00I'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.
00:46:21Hope you won't change after you leave.
00:46:24I won't.
00:46:30I won't.
00:46:39Mabel?
00:46:41James.
00:46:42I can't explain.
00:46:44I'm so sorry I have to find out like this, but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:46:49I don't know.
00:47:02Mabel?
00:47:03What are you doing here?
00:47:05It'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.
00:47:25You 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.
00:47:44How 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?
00:47:56I helped you got this project.
00:47:59I've missed you, James.
00:48:01Missed us.
00:48:03We should be together.
00:48:05I'm the only one who can help you.
00:48:09No, Victoria.
00:48:11I won't let you manipulate me.
00:48:13Not again.
00:48:19You 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.
00:48:34If you want business, we'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 and your ability.
00:48:50I know what you're capable of.
00:48:54Really?
00:48:56Oh, please.
00:48:58Put our history behind, will you?
00:49:00I pay responsibility to my company too, okay?
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.
00:49:17Agree, James.
00:49:19We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:49:37Scott, you won't believe what just happened.
00:49:48What's the matter?
00:50:00Wait, Mabel?
00:50:01Your 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.
00:50:13She wants my help on the project.
00:50:16I 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.
00:50:26Will 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.
00:50:39I don't want Mia to worry about this.
00:50:42She's working on an important artwork.
00:50:44And 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.
00:51:10It's great to make your work, babe.
00:51:13Just stuff with work, you know.
00:51:16All right.
00:51:17It's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:51:21You don't need to hide anything from me.
00:51:24If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
00:51:29Babe, it 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.
00:51:40If you want to talk things through or need some help, I'm here.
00:51:45Thank you, Mia.
00:51:48You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to you.
00:51:53James, 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.
00:52:28You wouldn't let a college flinch cloud 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 leaving college and 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.
00:52:53I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria.
00:52:56I got over you a long time ago.
00:52:59So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:53:04Come back here, dummy.
00:53:05I 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.
00:53:26And you are common with us to check the new site for our project.
00:53:32It's required by our partnership contract.
00:53:42Mia, I've got a business trip coming up.
00:53:46It's a sudden opportunity and 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.
00:53:56I know, it's a short notice, but I'll be back before you know it.
00:54:02All right, James.
00:54:03Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
00:54:08I will.
00:54:08I'll miss you so much.
00:54:26James, we've had quite a bit.
00:54:33Is everything all right?
00:54:37Just straight.
00:54:40Relax.
00:54:51Everything's fun.
00:54:53I'm just leaving.
00:55:05You've had enough tonight, James.
00:55:08Let 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.
00:55:20You'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.
00:55:33Your body.
00:55:34Your love.
00:55:36And even your soul.
00:55:42Stop it.
00:55:43I'm married.
00:55:46I don't mind.
00:55:47I don't mind.
00:55:48Or maybe this makes you want you more.
00:55:55You enjoy it, don't you?
00:55:58I know exactly how to please you.
00:56:01Yeah.
00:56:02I can do it, darling.
00:56:04Oh, come on, darling.
00:56:07Jane, we all know about your little contract.
00:56:11Besides, she would never find out.
00:56:18Now this is what we're talking about, James.
00:56:20What the hell happened?
00:56:33I can't believe I'll ever get this far.
00:56:42Don't, baby.
00:56:46What's wrong?
00:56:48Victoria, this is a mistake.
00:56:51Did you set me up?
00:56:52Why are you lying next to me?
00:56:55Oh, you were just so energetic.
00:56:59Stop the games.
00:57:00I'm serious.
00:57:01I 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 and I saved some pictures for memories.
00:57:22Delete those pictures right now.
00:57:27Why don't you come here and make me?
00:57:31You're playing with fire.
00:57:33I won't be blackmailed or manipulated.
00:57:35Delete them now.
00:57:42You're just no fun, James.
00:57:49I want you to step away from my life.
00:57:51This can't happen again.
00:57:54We'll see about that.
00:58:00Oh, Jamie, Jamie.
00:58:11You can never run away from me.
00:58:13Oh my god, James, you're home.
00:58:20I miss you too, babe.
00:58:22It's good to be home.
00:58:23Tell me everything about your trip.
00:58:25It was a normal business trip.
00:58:27Nothing special.
00:58:29Let's not talk about it.
00:58:30I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
00:58:33Okay, sure.
00:58:36I'm just so glad you're home.
00:58:38I don't know.
00:58:45Hello?
00:58:58Hello, Mia.
00:59:00Who's this?
00:59:02I guess Jimmy didn't tell you about me.
00:59:06I'm Victoria, the president of the company James is presently partnering in.
00:59:12Okay, how may I help you?
00:59:14You see, Jimmy and I have come a long way, and since you're not really married to him,
00:59:21so I guess there is no harm in stepping in.
00:59:24What do you mean?
00:59:25You see, James is mine, and mine alone.
00:59:30He will kindly excuse us so we can be together. That will be great.
00:59:35He would never like someone like you.
00:59:38Oh, please. He showed lots of love to me not long ago.
00:59:42He surely had no time to think of you.
00:59:45I sent you the pictures. Hope you enjoy them.
00:59:57Impossible. He would never do this to me.
01:00:01Hey, how's Rome?
01:00:11Nothing. How was your day?
01:00:16Oh, just as usual.
01:00:20Who is Victoria?
01:00:27Victoria? Where did you hear that name from?
01:00:31She called me James.
01:00:34She said things.
01:00:37Things I can't believe.
01:00:41What do you do?
01:00:43Mia, it's...
01:00:45Can you explain?
01:00:48You have to know you're the one, and the only one I love.
01:00:58Tell me the truth, James.
01:01:00Is she important to you?
01:01:03She's my ex from college, and also my current business partner.
01:01:19And what about this? Is this part of your business?
01:01:24We...
01:01:32We had a businessman.
01:01:34She set me up.
01:01:36I made a mistake.
01:01:39But it's not how it looks like.
01:01:41I love you, and I don't want her to ruin us.
01:01:47Tell me the truth, James.
01:01:49What happened that night?
01:01:55Yeah.
01:01:56I tried to stop her.
01:01:58I was...
01:02:01too drunk and also confused.
01:02:06I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
01:02:10You put our relationship on edge.
01:02:13I'm so sorry.
01:02:14I'll...
01:02:15I'll do everything it takes to make this right.
01:02:19Please, don't give up on us.
01:02:26I need some space.
01:02:28Please, just...
01:02:31Leave me alone.
01:02:44I need some space.
01:02:50Samantha?
01:02:51Found anything?
01:02:52Yes.
01:02:53I got a lead.
01:02:54It's been a challenging investigation.
01:02:56But I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley.
01:03:02I'm listening.
01:03:04He went to the same college with Mia, and he developed an obsession over her everything.
01:03:09He's been stalking your life, collecting information, and attempting to get her.
01:03:16This is insane.
01:03:17How did he get so close to us?
01:03:20He used virus, illnesses, and keep 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.
01:03:36Thank you, Samantha. I appreciate your dedication.
01:03:40You and Mia deserve peace, James.
01:03:42I will continue to monitor the situation.
01:03:45But please take legal action to protect yourself.
01:03:50I'll take care of her, and it's time for me to take control.
01:04:06It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think?
01:04:13Who sent you after us?
01:04:15Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan.
01:04:18If you don't tell the truth, I will call the cops on you.
01:04:22Fine.
01:04:24Fine. It was Victoria.
01:04:26Victoria.
01:04:28How did she convince you to do this?
01:04:30She told me about your contract marriage.
01:04:36She told me you don't even care about Mia.
01:04:39She promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back.
01:04:44You were manipulated, Richard.
01:04:49You're such a clown.
01:04:50James, I've been seeing you.
01:05:02I thought someone would never want to see you again, huh?
01:05:08Miss me already?
01:05:10Victoria, I want answers.
01:05:14Why did you hire Richard to stalk us?
01:05:16Richard?
01:05:18Richard?
01:05:20I've never heard any Richard in my life.
01:05:24I know it was you.
01:05:25He told me everything.
01:05:30Okay.
01:05:32It was me.
01:05:34But I did it for us.
01:05:38For us?
01:05:40I don't know there isn't us.
01:05:47I've always loved you, Jimmy.
01:05:50I just want to be back together with you.
01:06:00Here's the plan.
01:06:03We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
01:06:10We are professionals.
01:06:11We know how to cover our tracks.
01:06:13Good.
01:06:16And remember.
01:06:18I want her unharmed.
01:06:22This is just to make James realized he belongs to me.
01:06:29We understand.
01:06:31You can't watch what.
01:06:43What?
01:06:53Hello?
01:06:57Who's there?
01:07:03My, my, Mia.
01:07:06What a tangled web we weave.
01:07:13It'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.
01:07:23So I decided to teach you a little lesson.
01:07:27See?
01:07:29You cried.
01:07:31You would never be good enough for James.
01:07:34He'll never get away with this.
01:07:37James 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.
01:07:51Baby Jimmy wanted to have a bet.
01:07:53Why else he would choose you over me?
01:07:54I won't choose you over me.
01:07:56What we have is real.
01:07:58And you need to face the truth.
01:08:02Listen to me carefully, Bunny.
01:08:04If you truly care for James, you'll stay away from him.
01:08:08It's not a negotiation.
01:08:10It's a demand.
01:08:12James 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.
01:08:22Mia!
01:08:30Hello, Jimmy.
01:08:32What'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.
01:08:46You 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 alone.
01:08:55Victoria.
01:08:57Why are you doing this?
01:08:59You're risking your own life.
01:09:01You just never believed that I truly loved you, right?
01:09:03I won't even have a life after tonight.
01:09:04But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:09:05You don't want to end up like this.
01:09:06Mia is the only one in love.
01:09:07Why are you doing this?
01:09:08Why are you doing this?
01:09:09Why are you doing this?
01:09:10You're risking your own life.
01:09:11You 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.
01:09:18I'll get what I want.
01:09:25Please, put the gun down.
01:09:29You don't want to end up like this.
01:09:31Mia is the only one in love.
01:09:33Hey, it's over now. You're safe.
01:09:52I was so scared, James.
01:09:55I thought I'd never see you again.
01:09:59I know. I was scared too.
01:10:02But here we are.
01:10:05And I'll always protect you.
01:10:07You mean the world to me.
01:10:10I love you, James.
01:10:12I love you too.
01:10:17Why?
01:10:19Why did you betray me?
01:10:21Mia.
01:10:23I never wanted to hurt you.
01:10:25That was all I want and I lost control.
01:10:29I didn't know how to handle it, so...
01:10:32I decided not to tell you and I'm so sorry.
01:10:36You should have trusted me, James.
01:10:39I'm the...
01:10:41kind of woman you can...
01:10:44fight with.
01:10:46Mia?
01:10:48Mia?
01:10:58Are you okay?
01:10:59You scared the hell out of me.
01:11:09It's okay. I feel better now.
01:11:13I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:11:16I guess...
01:11:18tonight's events took a lot out of me.
01:11:21I'm so sorry for everything that has happened.
01:11:27I love you.
01:11:31And I guess...
01:11:33carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:11:39What?
01:11:41What did you just say?
01:11:42Well...
01:11:44I've been having some...
01:11:47fainting incidents recently, so...
01:11:50I went to the hospital by myself and...
01:11:54it looks like...
01:11:57in eight months, you're going to become a dad.
01:11:59I'm a dad.
01:12:03What?
01:12:05You're pregnant?
01:12:08Oh my God!
01:12:10I can't believe!
01:12:12I had no idea!
01:12:14You should have told me earlier!
01:12:16I can't believe we're becoming parents!
01:12:18This is the most exciting moment in my life!
01:12:21I knew you would be happy.
01:12:23James...
01:12:25with the baby coming...
01:12:28and the incidents behind us...
01:12:30I think it's time we come clean to our parents.
01:12:34They deserve to know the truth.
01:12:37And...
01:12:39we have to tell them...
01:12:41they have a grandchild on the way.
01:12:43You're right, Mia.
01:12:45It's time to be honest with them.
01:12:46I'm so happy.
01:12:48You know, Mia...
01:12:50I was thinking...
01:12:52I want a girl!
01:12:54She'll have your eyes and my smile!
01:12:56Oh, really?
01:12:58I'm imagining a boy...
01:13:00with your intelligence...
01:13:02and my sense of beauty.
01:13:04But...
01:13:06as long as the little one is healthy...
01:13:08I'm satisfied.
01:13:10I've never been more excited about the future.
01:13:12Me too, James.
01:13:13This journey...
01:13:15our journey...
01:13:17it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:13:19Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:13:21And maybe...
01:13:22just maybe...
01:13:23we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:13:25Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:13:27Oh, my God!
01:13:29Are you trying to spoil me?
01:13:31No!
01:13:33No!
01:13:35No!
01:13:37No!
01:13:39No!
01:13:41No!
01:13:42You're trying to spoil me?
01:13:43Maybe I am.
01:13:44You deserve it.
01:13:46This looks amazing.
01:13:48I love the nuggets.
01:13:51I believe in us, James.
01:13:54We've gone through a lot of challenges and...
01:13:58come out even stronger.
01:14:00Tonight is the last step for us to become a real couple.
01:14:05I'm lucky to have you here by my side, Mia.
01:14:09It doesn't matter how angry they get upon hearing the news.
01:14:14We'll face it together.
01:14:16We'll face it together.
01:14:22Mom.
01:14:23We need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:14:26I'm going to start with the live tune of all of you.
01:14:35And...
01:14:37It was a business arrangement.
01:14:40But...
01:14:42Over time...
01:14:44We fell in love with each other.
01:14:46We want to make it real.
01:14:47Mom.
01:14:49And we'd like to have your blessing.
01:14:52For real this time.
01:14:54Well...
01:14:56Your marriage, contract or not,
01:14:59has looked pretty real to me from the very beginning.
01:15:04And I'm glad you guys are brave enough to admit the mistakes
01:15:08and go on with your real happy marriage life.
01:15:15Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:15:20I'll always be there for her.
01:15:23And we have a new member coming to the family soon.
01:15:25We'll be there for you.
