00:00:00Fake boyfriends? Interesting.
00:00:09I just can't believe we did that.
00:00:12Mia, will you marry me?
00:00:15Yes! Oh my god.
00:00:19I can seem to.
00:00:22Perhaps this will help return in the room?
00:00:30I thought as much.
00:00:32It's me.
00:00:34You're bluffing my dog.
00:00:36She would never find out.
00:00:40Now this is what we're talking about, James.
00:01:00Anyone here?
00:01:04What do you want from me?
00:01:16It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think?
00:01:18Please, put the gun down.
00:01:27You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:30Mia is the only one in love.
00:01:48What do you want from me?
00:01:58McAllen.
00:01:59Neat.
00:01:59Okay.
00:02:03Marriage. Suffocating.
00:02:08Tell me about it.
00:02:11Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:02:13Family pressures, right?
00:02:17Wanna talk?
00:02:25My family have been on my case for years. It's like they have already chosen my future spouse.
00:02:35My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:02:39I'm a Kalanithi.
00:02:43I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:02:47I'm Mia. Pleasure to meet you.
00:02:53It's our endless battle.
00:02:59It's my new comrade.
00:03:09James, right? Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:17Mia. Must be Faith.
00:03:19That or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:23Scotch. Neat.
00:03:25Got it.
00:03:27How are things going on right?
00:03:31My mom calls me every single day to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:03:39And what was your response?
00:03:41Um, I said yes just to stop her calls, but I don't think there's anyone.
00:03:49You?
00:03:51My parents are obsessed with my kids, even though I'm still single.
00:03:55Splash please.
00:03:57Here, to our endless battle.
00:04:09Mia, I've been thinking, what do we help each other out here?
00:04:21What do you mean?
00:04:35Maybe we can be the plus one for each other, so our families will stop pushing us.
00:04:41Fake boyfriends? Interesting.
00:04:45Only once. And we can be free for a long time.
00:04:49It's not what I usually do, but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:04:56This night is just getting more interesting.
00:04:59Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:05:03Not yet. Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:05Okay, boyfriend. Why don't you introduce yourself more to me?
00:05:11Well, I own a real estate company. We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:17You sure look like a boss. The Scotch gives it away.
00:05:21Alright, enough about it. Tell me something about yourself.
00:05:25Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner.
00:05:29Not to show off, but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:05:35Wait, are you Mia Davis? That Mia Davis?
00:05:41In the flesh, darling.
00:05:49I 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 going to wait for us.
00:05:58Anderson, I assure you, we are doing everything we can.
00:06:03I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:06:06We won't let you down.
00:06:12Hmm?
00:06:28Hey there.
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.
00:06:59Yeah, I can really use that. I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:07:12Knowing my mom, she'll definitely want you to stay over.
00:07:15So, we'll probably spend three days in one bedroom.
00:07:19After that, we'll be free to go back to our regular lives.
00:07:23Sounds like a plan.
00:07:26Here we go, James. Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:07:39Got it.
00:07:45Mom, I'm home!
00:07:47Mia!
00:07:49It's been so long.
00:07:52Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:07:55Pleasure to meeting Mrs. Davis. Mia's told me so much about it.
00:07:58Please, call me Maria.
00:08:01Common name.
00:08:03Hug yourself with some cookies.
00:08:04Before I finish dressing the turkey.
00:08:06So far, so good.
00:08:11It's all 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.
00:08:27So, you two.
00:08:30Tell me how you met.
00:08:34Of course.
00:08:35It was a charming little cafe on the 3rd Avenue.
00:08:38Neil was sitting alone, reading a chat for Eugenides tonight.
00:08:43I couldn't resist striking out the conversation.
00:08:46Oh, I met you.
00:08:49I'm so happy you guys who met each other.
00:08:53It's been too long for me to walk from someone.
00:08:56So, thank you.
00:09:05The 2nd Avenue
00:09:16Can we go to the pool?
00:09:17You got to the pool?
00:09:18You left her room.
00:09:20My mom's here.
00:09:21What do we do?
00:09:24Uh, quick.
00:09:25Come in here.
00:09:31Come in!
00:09:35Good morning, lovebirds. I can see you had a lot of night.
00:09:40Stop it, mom. You're making it awkward. Look at you, all glowing.
00:09:48How do you agree with my princess?
00:09:52Okay, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:09:57Okay, 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.
00:10:14It was perfect. They all bought it.
00:10:18Remember how your mom almost caught us in the bedroom.
00:10:21My heart was about to jump out when I heard that knock, but we made it.
00:10:29So, has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit?
00:10:33They just won't let the topic off you.
00:10:36Same here. But now, my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding. I'm going to lose my mind.
00:10:42Let's just share the night we have right now.
00:10:48Well, we still can.
00:11:01You know, James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:11:07I feel the same.
00:11:10I know there's beauty in commitment, but shouldn't it be our own life choice to make?
00:11:16Exactly. I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends. Telling me to rush into a life? Raising kids in a house and giving up all of my freedoms? No thank you.
00:11:32Wait. I have an idea. It might help both of us.
00:11:42I'm all ears.
00:11:44I'm thinking. What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:11:50Please elaborate.
00:12:02What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:12:07A contract marriage?
00:12:09Yeah. Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life. We'll make a legal contract with maybe separate bedrooms, financial terms and so on. Oh. No feelings should be included.
00:12:25This is huge. I need to think about it.
00:12:30I know. It's not something we deal with the person whom you just met. But think about this. The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations. So we can take control of our own lives without their interference. It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:12:48It's just, like I said, love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual. They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:13:03Get it, Mia. I do. But sometimes life doesn't follow our script. And we need to adapt to that. Our 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?
00:13:21It's necessary. We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other. It will make things difficult.
00:13:32Well, you do make a good point. I do want to take control over my own destiny again. But we need to set boundaries. Conditions. We'll stick with friendship. Contractual partners.
00:13:49Agreed, Mia. I'll write the legal contract. And we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:13:56Oh, and one more thing, James. We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this. We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:14:08Absolutely. Our contract won't affect any of our lives. We can make it done tomorrow. While our squad will take care of everything.
00:14:16Deal.
00:14:18Deal.
00:14:30I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:14:34Yeah. We've got that for Mia.
00:14:39Let's go through this contract together.
00:14:41Okay.
00:14:45Separate bedrooms.
00:14:48Uh, no feelings clause.
00:14:52Um, and clear financial terms.
00:14:59Yep.
00:15:01We will be committed to each other from now on.
00:15:04Come on.
00:15:05Go ahead.
00:15:06Go ahead.
00:15:29I just can't believe we did that.
00:15:31So, what's next?
00:15:35We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:15:38I'll propose to you in your apartment and send pictures to our families.
00:15:43Well, 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?
00:16:00Did you turn the camera on?
00:16:11Yeah, it's working.
00:16:18Mia, there is something I'm going to ask you tonight.
00:16:21Yes?
00:16:26Mia, will you marry me?
00:16:29Oh my god, James. Yes!
00:16:36Oh my god.
00:16:59I can't believe we just did that.
00:17:02It's all part of the plan.
00:17:15This is our first big show on the stage.
00:17:19We have to make sure that we look like a happy couple in front of everyone.
00:17:27Of course. Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:17:29Another successful play.
00:17:30It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:17:36It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:17:37I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:17:43Focus on the bigger picture.
00:17:44Neither of us wants a real marriage right now.
00:17:48And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:17:55Let's get some rest.
00:17:56Good night.
00:17:57Good night.
00:18:02Good night.
00:18:03Good night.
00:18:05Good night.
00:18:06I'm okay.
00:18:07Good night.
00:18:12Good night.
00:18:19Good night.
00:18:21Good night.
00:18:38Mia, 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.
00:19:05But we are already here.
00:19:07There is no way of going back.
00:19:11I saw their faces.
00:19:13They believed in us.
00:19:15It was all a huge lie.
00:19:18I 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.
00:19:31I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:19:37I wish that to Mia.
00:19:39But I promise, we can't get through it.
00:19:41I promise.
00:19:42I promise.
00:19:43I promise.
00:19:45I promise.
00:19:47I just wish I 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.
00:19:53I promise.
00:19:54I promise.
00:19:55I promise you.
00:20:17James, I have something that I want to say.
00:20:21Mia, we agreed.
00:20:27No feelings.
00:20:33I know, but...
00:20:45Compliments of a friend.
00:20:47Please, enjoy your evening.
00:20:59James?
00:21:01What's this?
00:21:03No.
00:21:05No.
00:21:07No.
00:21:09No.
00:21:11No.
00:21:13No.
00:21:15No.
00:21:17No.
00:21:19No.
00:21:21No.
00:21:23No.
00:21:25No.
00:21:27No.
00:21:37No.
00:21:39No.
00:21:41No.
00:21:43James?
00:21:53Where are you?
00:21:59Right here, Mia.
00:22:01Is there any candle?
00:22:08James.
00:22:13So, any clue on that note?
00:22:29Sorry.
00:22:34Hello?
00:22:36I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you, a gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:22:43Someone knows our secret.
00:22:52What should we do?
00:23:13You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:23:18It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:23:22I know.
00:23:23And I'm glad that I met you.
00:23:24You're such a special woman.
00:23:25And I've never met anyone like you before.
00:23:27You too.
00:23:28I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:23:31Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:23:38It's not a fairy tale.
00:23:39It's not a fairy tale.
00:23:40It's a bloody reality.
00:23:41It's a bloody reality.
00:23:42But, I still like it.
00:23:43But, I still like it.
00:23:44It's not a fairy tale.
00:23:49It's a bloody reality.
00:23:50But, I still like it.
00:23:51It's our story.
00:23:52It's not a fairy tale.
00:23:53It's a bloody reality.
00:23:56But, I still like it.
00:23:58It's our story.
00:24:02It's not a fairy tale.
00:24:03It's not a fairy tale.
00:24:05It's a bloody reality.
00:24:08But, I still like it.
00:24:11It's our story.
00:24:32What's happening?
00:24:35We're stuck.
00:24:40What do we do?
00:24:43I need to be there on time.
00:24:45Let'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.
00:25:05Someone 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?
00:25:18Just to give us some strength.
00:25:20Friends can hurt too.
00:25:22Okay.
00:25:31I can't believe this is happening.
00:25:36Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:25:42You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:25:46James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:25:55They'd be so disappointed.
00:25:58We are doing everything we can.
00:26:01And so far, we did good.
00:26:03Everyone is happy.
00:26:05I just think about how far we've come.
00:26:09Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:26:19It's like an endless spy game.
00:26:22I know.
00:26:23But 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.
00:26:32We are one.
00:26:33I suddenly feel so relieved.
00:26:40Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:26:45I know.
00:26:46I always rush to my friends after a bed day.
00:26:49And here I am with a dearest friend.
00:26:52And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom,
00:26:57now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:27:00Mine too.
00:27:01My mom called the other day.
00:27:03But when she saw you walk out from the bath,
00:27:05she hung up as soon as she could.
00:27:07But 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.
00:27:17I'm sexy now.
00:27:31Maybe 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.
00:27:49I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:27:53I care about you more than I should.
00:27:57I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:28:01I'm in love with you.
00:28:03I 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.
00:28:29I'm sure they will understand.
00:28:31Maybe mad at first,
00:28:33but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:28:35Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:28:39I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right.
00:28:41It should be our priority right now.
00:28:49James, our parents aside,
00:28:59I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:29:03Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:29:07Mia, I have no idea.
00:29:10But I hired an investigator,
00:29:12hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:29:14I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:29:18We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:29:27This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight,
00:29:31bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:29:34I chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:29:37And 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.
00:30:07Who's there?
00:30:29Anyone here?
00:30:41What do you want from me?
00:30:43You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:30:44Where am I?
00:30:57What did I do?
00:30:59I assure you, there's a misunderstanding.
00:31:02Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:31:05I just need you to be here, your body.
00:31:10We can talk things out.
00:31:12You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:31:15I will cooperate.
00:31:17If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:31:20Just let me go.
00:31:24Hello?
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.
00:31:56What matters is, Maya.
00:31:58You have 24 hours to prepare 5 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?
00:32:19I need to be sure she's okay.
00:32:21Let 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.
00:32:44We'll figure it out, James.
00:32:46I'll do everything I can.
00:32:48I can't lose Mia.
00:32:51I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:32:57We found each other the one we have been looking for her whole life.
00:33:01Oh, no.
00:33:02This was not meant to happen.
00:33:04I have to find her.
00:33:06I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:33:09We will.
00:33:10But 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, this 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.
00:33:31Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:33:38Mark, 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.
00:33:52Save it, 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.
00:34:17I might be able to catch this out.
00:34:19Thank you for calling CPM Bank.
00:34:28Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:34:32I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:34:34I want to cash it out immediately.
00:34:37I understand the urgency.
00:34:39Please give us a moment.
00:34:40Can you get money from me in an hour?
00:34:50It's for an urgent matter.
00:34:52Sure.
00:34:53Since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:34:57I will be there in 20 minutes.
00:34:59Please get the cash ready by then.
00:35:01Yes, sir.
00:35:02All noted.
00:35:03Great.
00:35:10Is it ready?
00:35:20Yes.
00:35:21Give me the location.
00:35:23Boom!
00:35:24I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:35:42Do anything to keep you safe.
00:35:44We're in this together.
00:35:49I thought I'd never see you again.
00:35:51I swear to you.
00:35:53I'll protect you with no more.
00:36:08I want to give you both an update.
00:36:11We are investigating the lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:36:15Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers
00:36:18and bringing them to justice.
00:36:23Thank you, detective.

00:36:32I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.

00:47:11What are you playing here?
00:47:15What's up with all the charade?
00:47:18Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:47:24You know, for the old time's sake.
00:47:28Old time's sake?
00:47:30You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:47:32What do you want?
00:47:34People change, James.
00:47:37And I just can't let you off my mind.
00:47:43How did you become the president of this company?
00:47:46What are you hiding?
00:47:48A woman like me can get whatever I want with just a little trick.
00:47:54See? I helped you got this project.
00:47:58I've missed you, James. Missed us.
00:48:02We should be together.
00:48:04I'm the only one who can help you.
00:48:08No, Victoria. I won't let you manipulate. Not again.
00:48:21You have always been a challenge, James.
00:48:24This is not how I imaged our reunion.
00:48:26If you come here to talk about that project, let's get to it.
00:48:30Otherwise, you should leave.
00:48:32Don't be so harsh.
00:48:34You want business, we'll talk about business.
00:48:38Let's get professional.
00:48:41James, the reason I chose you is not only because of our past.
00:48:47I trust you and your ability.
00:48:49I know what you're capable of.
00:48:52Really?
00:48:54Oh, please.
00:48:57Put our history behind, will you?
00:49:00I'd 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.
00:49:10I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:49:15Agreed, James.
00:49:18We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:49:24Fine.
00:49:25I won't do anything you get into my theory.
00:49:28What will kill Jamie?
00:49:29Oh!
00:49:30He won't find anything you can do.
00:49:31Scott!
00:49:32He won't believe what just happened!
00:49:33What's the matter?
00:49:49Wait, Mabel? Your ex-girlfriend from college? You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:50:06That's the one. She's now going by Victoria and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:50:12She wants my help on a project. I can't shake feeling that there's more to it.
00:50:19I think we have to wait for her move.
00:50:22I need to find out what's really going on. But I can't do it alone. Will you help me, Scott?
00:50:28Of course. Happy to help. She 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. Nothing is ever pure about her. I don't want Mia to worry about this.
00:50:42She's working on an important artwork. And I promise I'll protect her.
00:50:47Of course.
00:50:48I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:50:53Thanks, man. What should I do without you?
00:51:06James, are you okay? You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:51:12Sorry to make your word, babe. Just stuff with work, you know.
00:51:15All right. It's just that we've been through a lot together.
00:51:20You 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, it shouldn't worry you. I can handle it myself. Trust me.
00:51:34Okay. Just 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. You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to you.
00:51:51James, we're one. There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:52:03Hi, Jimmy.
00:52:04Victoria. What an unexpected surprise. I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:52:14I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:52:21I've moved on with my life. I have Mia and she means everything to me.
00:52:26Oh, please, James.
00:52:28You wouldn't let a college flinch cross your judgment after all these years, right?
00:52:35Spare me the details. You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:52:38What 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. I 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.
00:53:05I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:53:17James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:53:21I just want to be in your life.
00:53:23And you are coming with us to check the new site for our project.
00:53:33It's required by our partnership contract.
00:53:42Mia, I've got a business trip coming up.
00:53:45It's a sudden opportunity and I need to leave for a few days.
00:53:50Oh, really?
00:53:52That's unexpected.
00:53:53When do you leave?
00:53:55Tomorrow morning.
00:53:57I know, it's a short notice.
00:53:59But I'll be back before you know it.
00:54:02All right, James.
00:54:03Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
00:54:07I will.
00:54:08I'll miss you so much.
00:54:10James, you've had quite a bit.
00:54:33Is everything all right?
00:54:37Just straight.
00:54:38Just straight.
00:54:40Relax.
00:54:51Everything's fine.
00:54:53Just leave me.
00:54:55You've had enough tonight, James.
00:55:07Let me make sure you're comfortable.
00:55:12Doria.
00:55:13What are you doing?
00:55:16Don't you worry.
00:55:17We'll have a little chat.
00:55:19James, you're safe with me.
00:55:23What do you want?
00:55:26You, James.
00:55:28I want you.
00:55:29I want all of you.
00:55:31Your body, your love, and even your soul.
00:55:37Stop it.
00:55:38I want you to.
00:55:38I want you to.
00:55:38I want you to.
00:55:39I want you to.
00:55:40I want you to.
00:55:41I want you to.
00:55:42Stop it.
00:55:43I'm...
00:55:44I'm married.
00:55:45I don't mind.
00:55:47I want you to.
00:55:48Or maybe this makes you want you to.
00:55:51This makes you want you more.
00:55:54You enjoy it, don't you?
00:55:56I know exactly how to please you.
00:56:00Yeah.
00:56:01I can't do it there.
00:56:03Oh come on...
00:56:04No.
00:56:04Darling.
00:56:05Come on, darling.
00:56:07We all know about your little contract.
00:56:11Besides,
00:56:13she would never find out.
00:56:17You know this is what we're talking about, James?
00:56:31What the hell happened?
00:56:35I can't believe I let it get this far.
00:56:43Don, baby.
00:56:45What's wrong?
00:56:47Victoria, this is a mistake.
00:56:49Did you set me up?
00:56:51Why are you laying next to me?
00:56:53Oh, you were just so energetic.
00:56:57Stop the games.
00:56:59I'm serious.
00:57:01I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do with you.
00:57:03Well, well, let's say we had a stunning night and I saved some pictures for memories.
00:57:19You're playing with fire.
00:57:21I won't be blackmailed or manipulated.
00:57:23Delete them now.
00:57:25You're just no fun, James.
00:57:27I want you to step away from my life.
00:57:29This can't happen again.
00:57:31We'll see about that.
00:57:33We'll see about that.
00:57:35We'll see about that.
00:57:37We'll see about that.
00:57:41Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy.
00:57:43Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy.
00:57:47You can never run away from me.
00:57:49Oh, Jimmy.
00:57:51Oh, my God.
00:57:52You're a little bit.
00:57:54What do you want to do?
00:57:55Look at them.
00:57:57I want you to step away from my life.
00:57:59This can't happen again.
00:58:01We'll see about that.
00:58:03Oh, Jamie, Jamie, you can never run away from me.
00:58:14Oh my god, James, you're home!
00:58:19I miss you too, babe.
00:58:21It'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.
00:58:28Let's not talk about it.
00:58:30I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
00:58:33Okay, sure.
00:58:35I'm just so glad you're home.
00:58:58Hello?
00:58:59Hello, Mia.
00:59:01Who's this?
00:59:02I guess Jamie didn't tell you about me.
00:59:07I'm Victoria, the president of the company James is presently partnering in.
00:59:12Okay, how may I help you?
00:59:15You see, Jamie 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?
00:59:25What do you mean?
00:59:26You see, James is mine, and mine alone.
00:59:30If you will kindly excuse us so we can be together, that would be great.
00:59:35He would never like someone like you.
00:59:37Oh, please.
00:59:39He 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.
00:59:47Hope you enjoy them.
00:59:57Impossible.
00:59:59He would never do this to me.
01:00:01Hey.
01:00:02What's wrong?
01:00:03Nothing.
01:00:04How was your day?
01:00:05Oh.
01:00:06Just as usual.
01:00:07Who is Victoria?
01:00:08Victoria.
01:00:09Victoria?
01:00:10Where did you hear that name from?
01:00:19She called me James.
01:00:24She said things.
01:00:31She called me James, she said things, things I can't believe.
01:00:44Mia, it's, can you explain?
01:00:48You have to know, you're the one, and the only one I love.
01:00:54Tell me the truth, James. Is she important to you?
01:01:12She'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, we had a business. She set me up. I made a mistake.
01:01:39But it's not how it looks like. I love you, and I don't want her to ruin us.
01:01:46Tell me the truth, James. What happened that night?
01:01:52Yeah, I tried to stop her. I was too drunk and also confused.
01:02:05I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James. You put our relationship on edge.
01:02:12I'm so sorry. I'll do everything it takes to make this right. Please, don't give up on us.
01:02:21I need some space. Please, just leave me alone.
01:02:33Samantha, found anything?
01:02:48Samantha? Found anything?
01:02:52Yes, I got a lead. It's been a challenging investigation.
01:02:56But I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley.
01:03:01I'm listening.
01:03:03He 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.
01:03:15This is insane. How did he head so close to us?
01:03:19He used virus illnesses and cable low profile, which made it challenging to track him.
01:03:26But we've identified his patterns and his current location.
01:03:30I'd advise involving the authorities and getting a restraining order against him.
01:03:36Thank you, Samantha. I appreciate your dedication.
01:03:39You and Mia deserve peace, James. I will continue to monitor the situation.
01:03:44But please take legal action to protect yourself.
01:03:49I'll take care of her, and it's time for me to take control.
01:03:53It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think? Who sent you after us?
01:04:02Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan. If you don't tell the truth, I will call the cops on you.
01:04:08Fine. Fine. Fine. It was Victoria.
01:04:13Victoria. How did she convince you to do this?
01:04:17She told me about your contract marriage. She told me you don't even care about Mia.
01:04:24She promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back.
01:04:28You were manipulated, Richard. You're such a clown.
01:04:35James, I've been seeing you.
01:04:47You were manipulated, Richard. You're such a clown.
01:04:58James, I've been seeing you.
01:05:04I thought someone would never really see me again, huh? Miss Morgan?
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.
01:05:30Okay, it was me. But I did it for us.
01:05:36For 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.
01:05:52Here is the plan.
01:06:01We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
01:06:09We are professionals. We know how to cover our tracks.
01:06:12Good. And remember, I want her unharmed.
01:06:21This is just to make James realized he belongs to me.
01:06:29We understand. You can't which one.
01:06:31What?
01:06:47What?
01:06:53Hello?
01:06:57Who's there?
01:06:58My, my, Mia.
01:07:05What 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, but you just wouldn't listen.
01:07:23So I decided to teach you a little lesson.
01:07:26See?
01:07:28He cried.
01:07:30You would never be good enough for James.
01:07:34He'll never get away with this.
01:07:36James wants nothing to do with you.
01:07:40We'll see about that.
01:07:42You can't control other people's feelings.
01:07:46You're such a bunny.
01:07:48Baby Jimmy wanted to have a bet.
01:07:51Why else he would choose you over me?
01:07:55What we have is real.
01:07:58And you need to face the truth.
01:08:01Listen 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. It's a demand.
01:08:10James and I are married.
01:08:13And there's nothing you can do about it.
01:08:18Don't be too confident.
01:08:21Just yet.
01:08:29Mia!
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.
01:08:49You've got one minute, James.
01:08:52Your precious contract wife, or the woman who's loved you all alone.
01:08:56Victoria.
01:09:00Victoria.
01:09:03Why are you doing this?
01:09:06You're risking your own life.
01:09:08You just never believed that I truly loved you, right?
01:09:13I won't even have a life after tonight.
01:09:16But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:09:19Please, put the gun down.
01:09:28You don't want to end up like this.
01:09:31Mia is the only one in love.
01:09:33The only one in love.
01:09:47Hey.
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.
01:10:00I 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.
01:10:24That was all I want.
01:10:26And I lost control.
01:10:28I didn't know how to handle it.
01:10:31So, I decided not to tell you.
01:10:34And I'm so sorry.
01:10:36You should have trusted me, James.
01:10:39I'm the kind of woman you can fight with.
01:10:45Mia.
01:10:47Mia.
01:10:49What?
01:10:54Are you okay?
01:11:06You scared the hell out of me.
01:11:09It's okay.
01:11:11I feel better now.
01:11:13I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:11:16I guess tonight'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 carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:11:39What?
01:11:41What did you just say?
01:11:42Well, 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.
01:11:59What?
01:12:00What?
01:12:02You're pregnant?
01:12:04Oh my God!
01:12:06I can't believe.
01:12:08I had no idea.
01:12:10You should have told me earlier.
01:12:12I can't believe we're becoming parents.
01:12:13This is the most exciting moment in my life.
01:12:14I knew you would be happy.
01:12:16James, with the baby coming and the incidents behind us, I think it's time we come clean to our parents.
01:12:20They deserve to know the truth and we have to tell them they have a grandchild on the way.
01:12:26You're right, MIA.
01:12:28It's time to be honest with them.
01:12:45I'm so happy.
01:12:46I'm so happy.
01:12:53You know, Mia, I was thinking, I want a girl.
01:12:57She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:12:59Oh, really?
01:13:01I'm imagining a boy with your intelligence and my sense of beauty.
01:13:08But 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.
01:13:17This journey, our journey, it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:13:23Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:13:25And maybe, just maybe, we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:13:36Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:13:39Oh, my God.
01:13:41Are you trying to spoil me?
01:13:44Maybe 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 come out even stronger.
01:14:01Tonight 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.
01:14:16We'll face it together.
01:14:22Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:14:26I'm going to start with the light to you, all of you.
01:14:35And it was a business arrangement.
01:14:40But over time, we fell in love with each other.
01:14:46We want to make it real.
01:14:47And we'd like to have your blessing for real this time.
01:14:53Well, 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, and we have a new member coming to the family soon.
