00:00:00Fake boyfriend? Interesting.
00:00:09I just can't believe we did that.
00:00:13Mia, will you marry me?
00:00:15Yes! Oh my god.
00:00:20I can sing too.
00:00:23Perhaps this will help with your number.
00:00:31I thought as much.
00:00:33It's me.
00:00:34What about my dad?
00:00:36She would never find out.
00:00:41Now this is what we are talking about, James.
00:01:01Is anyone here?
00:01:03What do you want from me?
00:01:16It's time to tell the truth, don't you think?
00:01:24Please, put the gun down.
00:01:27You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:30Mia is the only one in love.
00:01:58Max Allen. Neat.
00:02:03Marriage. Suffocating.
00:02:08Tell me about it.
00:02:12Sounds like you've got something you want to say.
00:02:16Family pressures, right?
00:02:19Want to talk?
00:02:21Yes.
00:02:26My family have been on my case for years.
00:02:29It's likely they have already chosen my future spouse.
00:02:36My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:02:42I'm going to call a meeting.
00:02:44I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:02:48I'm Mia. Pleasure to meet you.
00:02:54To our endless battle.
00:02:59To my new comrade.
00:03:03James.
00:03:15James, right?
00:03:17Fancy seeing you here again.
00:03:19Mia? Must be fate.
00:03:22Or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:27Scotch. Neat.
00:03:28Got it.
00:03:30How are things going, Andrea?
00:03:33My mom calls me every single day
00:03:37to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:03:41And what was your response?
00:03:44I said yes just to stop her calls,
00:03:47but I don't think there's anyone.
00:03:49You?
00:03:52My parents are obsessed with my kids,
00:03:54even though I'm still single.
00:03:56Scotch, please.
00:03:59Here.
00:04:08Here.
00:04:09To our endless battle.
00:04:18Mia, I've been thinking.
00:04:20What if we help each other out here?
00:04:30What do you mean?
00:04:33Maybe we can be the plus one for each other,
00:04:36so our families will stop pushing us.
00:04:39Fake boyfriends?
00:04:41Interesting.
00:04:43Only once.
00:04:45And we can be free for a long time.
00:04:48That's not what I usually do,
00:04:50but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:04:54This night just keeps getting more interesting.
00:04:56Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:04:59Not yet.
00:05:00Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:03Okay, boyfriend.
00:05:05Why don't you introduce yourself more to me?
00:05:08Well, I own a real estate company.
00:05:11We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:14You sure look like a boss.
00:05:16The Scotch gives it away.
00:05:18All right.
00:05:20You sure look like a boss.
00:05:22The Scotch gives it away.
00:05:24All right. Enough about me.
00:05:26Tell me something about yourself.
00:05:28Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner.
00:05:32Not to show off,
00:05:34but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:05:38Wait.
00:05:39Are you Mia Davis?
00:05:41That Mia Davis?
00:05:43In the flesh, darling.
00:05:50I understand the emergency, but this is not how negotiation works.
00:05:54I need this to be done in three days.
00:05:56Our investors are not going to wait for us.
00:05:59Anderson,
00:06:01I assure you we are doing everything we can.
00:06:04I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:06:07We won't let you down.
00:06:20Hey there.
00:06:39Mia, 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.
00:07:00Yeah, I can really use that.
00:07:02I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:07:12Knowing my mom, she'll definitely want you to stay over.
00:07:16So we'll probably spend three days in one bedroom.
00:07:20After that, we'll be free to go back to our regular lives.
00:07:24Sounds like a plan.
00:07:34Here we go, James.
00:07:36Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:07:40I got it.
00:07:46Mom, I'm home!
00:07:49Mia!
00:07:52It's been so long.
00:07:54Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:07:57Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Davis.
00:07:58Mia's told me so much about you.
00:08:00Please, call me Maria.
00:08:03Common name.
00:08:04How about some cookies before I finish dressing the turkey?
00:08:11So far, so good.
00:08:13Let's keep it up.
00:08:20Now, I'm actually enjoying this date.
00:08:23Me too.
00:08:25I feel like we're a real couple.
00:08:29So, you too.
00:08:32Tell me how you met.
00:08:35Of course.
00:08:37It was a charming little cafe on the 3rd Avenue.
00:08:40Mia was sitting alone, reading a chapter in Eugenics,
00:08:44and I couldn't resist striking up a conversation.
00:08:47Oh, how I've missed you.
00:08:51I'm so happy you guys have met each other.
00:08:54It's been so long.
00:08:56We've never talked for so long.
00:08:57So, thank you.
00:09:21Mia, you're a monster.
00:09:23What should we do?
00:09:25Quick, come in here.
00:09:32Come in.
00:09:37Good morning, lovebirds.
00:09:39I can see you had a lovely night.
00:09:42Stop it, Mom.
00:09:43You're making it awkward.
00:09:45Look at you, all glowing.
00:09:51How's the airplane coming, princess?
00:09:53Okay, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:09:59Okay, okay.
00:10:00Just don't take too long.
00:10:02And shouldn't you get back to the city today?
00:10:13I have to say, it was quite a play in your house.
00:10:16It was perfect.
00:10:17They all bought it.
00:10:19Remember how your mom almost caught us in the bedroom.
00:10:22My heart was about to jump out when I heard that knock.
00:10:26But we made it.
00:10:30So, has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit?
00:10:35They just won't let the topic off you.
00:10:37Same here.
00:10:39But now, my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding.
00:10:42I'm going to lose my mind.
00:10:48Let's just cherish the night we have right now.
00:10:51While we still can.
00:11:03You know, James, it's nights like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:11:10I feel the same.
00:11:12I know there's beauty in commitment, but...
00:11:15Maybe our only choice to make.
00:11:17Exactly.
00:11:19I'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.
00:11:37Wait.
00:11:39I have an idea.
00:11:41It might help both of us.
00:11:44All yours.
00:11:46I'm thinking...
00:11:49What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:12:01Please elaborate.
00:12:04What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:12:09A contract marriage?
00:12:11Yeah.
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.
00:12:24No feelings should be included.
00:12:26This is huge.
00:12:28I need to think about it.
00:12:32I know.
00:12:33It's not something we do with the person whom you just met.
00:12:36But think about this.
00:12:39The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:12:43So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:12:47It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:12:51It's just...
00:12:52Like I said, love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:12:58They should be based on emotions and connection that grows naturally.
00:13:05Get it, Mia.
00:13:06I do.
00:13:07Sometimes life doesn't follow our script, and we need to adapt to that.
00:13:11Our life won't change a bit.
00:13:13Just more freedom with this contract.
00:13:15But what about the no emotions term?
00:13:19Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:13:23It's necessary.
00:13:25We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:13:28It will make things difficult.
00:13:33Well, you do make a good point.
00:13:36I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:13:41But we need to set boundaries, conditions.
00:13:46We'll stick with friendship, contractual partners.
00:13:51Agreed, Mia.
00:13:52I'll write the legal contract, and we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:13:57Oh, and one more thing, James.
00:13:59We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this.
00:14:03We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:14:08Absolutely.
00:14:10Our contract won't affect any of our lives.
00:14:13We can make it done tomorrow.
00:14:15Follow our script, we'll take care of everything.
00:14:19Deal.
00:14:20Wait.
00:14:31I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:14:35Yeah, we've got that far, Mia.
00:14:40Let's go through this contract together.
00:14:42Okay.
00:14:46Separate bedrooms.
00:14:50No feelings clause.
00:14:56And clear financial terms.
00:15:00Yep.
00:15:03We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:15:17I just can't believe we did that.
00:15:32So, 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.
00:15:44Well, 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.
00:15:58Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:16:10Did you turn the camera on?
00:16:13Yeah, it's working.
00:16:19Mia, there is something I've been wanting to ask you tonight.
00:16:22Yes?
00:16:27Mia, will you marry me?
00:16:30Oh my god, James, yes!
00:16:37Oh my god.
00:17:01I can't believe we just did that.
00:17:04It's all part of the plan.
00:17:16This 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 a mistake is allowed tonight.
00:17:51Another successful play.
00:17:57It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:18:01I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:18:06Focus 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.
00:18:19Let's get some rest.
00:18:22Good night.
00:18:23Good night.
00:18:39Mia, are you okay?
00:18:43Please, open up.
00:18:45Talk to me.
00:18:49I didn't do this, James.
00:18:51At the wedding, I saw everyone's faces.
00:18:55They were so happy and blessed us with their whole hearts.
00:19:01I feel like I betrayed every one of them.
00:19:06But we are already here.
00:19:08There is no way of going back.
00:19:12I saw their faces.
00:19:14They believed in us.
00:19:16It was all a huge lie.
00:19:19I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:19:23It's not easy for me either.
00:19:26But we have to hang in there.
00:19:29I can't let them down right now.
00:19:48I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:19:51I wish that too, Mia.
00:19:53But I promise we can get through it.
00:19:56I promise.
00:20:18James, I have something that I want to say.
00:20:25Mia, we agreed.
00:20:29No feelings.
00:20:35I know, but...
00:20:46Compliments of a friend.
00:20:50Please enjoy your evening.
00:21:00James, what's this?
00:21:20James, what's this?
00:21:48James?
00:21:57Where are you?
00:21:59Right here, Mia.
00:22:01Is there any candle?
00:22:08James.
00:22:15So, any clue on that note?
00:22:30Sorry.
00:22:35Hello?
00:22:37I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you.
00:22:40A gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:22:50Someone knows our secret.
00:22:54What should we do?
00:23:16You know, I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:23:21It feels like a lifetime ago.
00:23:28I know, and I'm glad that I met you.
00:23:31You're such a special woman, and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:23:40You too.
00:23:42You're a real gentleman.
00:23:52Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:24:04It's not a fairy tale.
00:24:07It's a bloody reality.
00:24:11I still like it.
00:24:13It's our story.
00:24:35What's happening?
00:24:41We're stuck.
00:24:43What do we do?
00:24:45I need to be there on time.
00:24:48Let's call the building.
00:24:50They should come and fix this.
00:25:00There's no signal.
00:25:02We'll be trapped in here for hours.
00:25:05We won't.
00:25:07Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix this.
00:25:11We just need to be patient.
00:25:18What's that for?
00:25:20Just to give us some strength.
00:25:23Okay.
00:25:34I can't believe this is happening.
00:25:38Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:25:44You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:25:51James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:25:56They'd be so disappointed.
00:26:00We're doing everything we can.
00:26:02So far, we did good.
00:26:04Everyone is happy.
00:26:07I just think about how far we've come.
00:26:11Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:26:20It's like an endless spy game.
00:26:23I know.
00:26:25But we're in this together.
00:26:27We chose this to take control of our life.
00:26:30And now we are tied together by fate.
00:26:33We are one.
00:26:38I suddenly feel so relieved.
00:26:42Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:26:47I know.
00:26:48I always rush to my friends after a bad day.
00:26:50And here I am, with a dearest friend.
00:26:54And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom, now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:27:01Mine too.
00:27:02My mom called the other day.
00:27:04But when she saw you walk out from the bath, she hung up as soon as she could.
00:27:08But of course, she made fun of us.
00:27:12Maybe next time I can show up even sexier, and then she can make fun of you some more.
00:27:19I'm sexy now.
00:27:32Maybe we should talk about what just happened.
00:27:36The moment was...
00:27:38I enjoyed it.
00:27:39There is something I never thought I would say.
00:27:42But it's not what we expected.
00:27:45I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:27:48Mia, I have to tell you.
00:27:50I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:27:55I care about you more than I should.
00:27:58I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:28:03I'm in love with you.
00:28:10I actually feel the exact same way.
00:28:16I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:28:20Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection,
00:28:25I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:28:29Let's tell everyone the truth.
00:28:31I'm sure they will understand.
00:28:33Maybe mad at first, but they will be happy for us in the end.
00:28:37Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:28:40I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right.
00:28:43It should be our priority right now.
00:28:57James, our parents aside,
00:29:01I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:29:05Why would they be so interested in our personal matters?
00:29:08Mia, I have no idea.
00:29:11But I hired an investigator.
00:29:13I hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:29:16I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:29:25We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:29:28This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight,
00:29:32bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:29:35We chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:29:45And yet I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:29:49We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:29:52We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage,
00:29:56and we'll for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:30:02We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage,
00:30:05and we'll for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:30:28Who's there?
00:30:32Who's there?
00:30:41Anyone here?
00:30:43What do you want from me?
00:30:53You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:30:56Where am I?
00:30:58What did I do?
00:31:00I assure you, there is a misunderstanding.
00:31:03Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:31:12We can talk things out.
00:31:14You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:31:17I will cooperate.
00:31:19If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:31:24Just let me go.
00:31:30Hello?
00:31:48Hello?
00:31:49Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:31:52Mia's life depends on you.
00:31:54Don't bother.
00:31:55You won't recognize who I am.
00:31:57What matters is Mia.
00:31:59You have 24 hours to prepare 5 million dollars if you want to see her alive.
00:32:04Who are you, and what do you want?
00:32:06That is not a question for me to answer.
00:32:08Just do as I said.
00:32:10I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:32:14That's not my concern.
00:32:16Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:32:20I need to be sure she's okay.
00:32:22Let me talk to her.
00:32:23That won't be happening.
00:32:25I swear, if you dare to touch her,
00:32:27I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:32:39I don't know what to do, Scott.
00:32:41They're asking for 5 million in 24 hours.
00:32:43I can't lose her.
00:32:45We'll figure it out, James.
00:32:47I'll do everything that I can.
00:32:49I can't lose Mia.
00:32:53I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:32:58We found each other the one we have been looking for our whole life.
00:33:02Oh, no.
00:33:04This was not meant to happen.
00:33:06I have to find her.
00:33:08I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:33:10We will.
00:33:12But who would commit such a horrible crime?
00:33:15Anyone raise a bell?
00:33:17Mia wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:33:19I can assure you.
00:33:21This has something to do with that blackmail we received.
00:33:26Blackmail?
00:33:28Someone has been stalking us.
00:33:30They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:33:33Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:33:40Mark, please, I need your help.
00:33:43Mia's life is in danger.
00:33:45I wish I could, James.
00:33:475 million is a lot.
00:33:50I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:33:53Save it, Mark.
00:33:55When it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help you.
00:33:57You're a fucking nuisance.
00:33:59I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:34:02I might be able to catch this up.
00:34:32I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:34:35I want to cash it out immediately.
00:34:37I understand the urgency.
00:34:39Please give us a moment.
00:34:49Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:34:51It'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.
00:35:00Please get the cash ready by then.
00:35:02Yes, sir. All noted.
00:35:04Great.
00:35:20Is it ready?
00:35:21Yes. Give me the location.
00:35:39I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:35:43I'd do anything to keep you safe. We're in this together.
00:35:50I thought I'd never see you again.
00:35:53I swear to you, I'll protect you with my life.
00:36:00I'm sorry.
00:36:09I want to give you both an update.
00:36:11We are investigating a lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:36:15Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers and bringing them to justice.
00:36:24Thank you, detective. We appreciate your efforts.
00:36:31I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:36:37It's not your fault. We'll get through this.
00:36:42I'm sure of it.
00:37:01It's been a while since we had a peaceful room like this.
00:37:06Yeah. It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:37:22Mia! You won't believe this!
00:37:26Mia! You won't believe this!
00:37:30What is it?
00:37:33A company chose us to partner in a luxury project. They love my pitch!
00:37:38Oh my god, James. That's amazing!
00:37:42I'm gonna call my employees to announce this news.
00:37:47And an after-party later?
00:37:50You know me too well.
00:37:51Will you pick me up later for our little celebration?
00:37:55Absolutely! I'll meet you at home after work!
00:38:22Yes. I need you to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:38:25We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:38:29Wow! That's fantastic! I will get that done.
00:38:33Thank you all for your time. I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:38:39Before I finish, I'm just curious. Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:38:46Our presence is a great opportunity for us.
00:38:49It's a great opportunity for us.
00:38:52It's a great opportunity for us.
00:38:55It's a great opportunity for us.
00:38:57Before I finish, I'm just curious. Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:39:02Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:39:05She said you're an old friend.
00:39:08An old friend?
00:39:10I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:39:14You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:39:18For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:39:27For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:39:54What's wrong, James?
00:39:58What's wrong, James?
00:40:01Who could that be?
00:40:04I don't know.
00:40:07But we're going to find out soon.
00:40:18Samantha, have you found anything?
00:40:21I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:40:23Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:40:25James, we've made some significant progress.
00:40:28I think we're close to uncovering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:40:34I'm all ears. Details, please.
00:40:37We managed to trace the source of the blackmail,
00:40:40attempts we found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:40:45Richard Kingsley? Never heard that name.
00:40:48And why would he do this?
00:40:50We're still working on that part.
00:40:52We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:40:55Thank you, Samantha.
00:40:57Keep me posted on any updates.
00:40:59I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:41:02Of course. We're so close to unravelling this mystery.
00:41:21I 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. I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:41:33Everything'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.
00:41:43Samantha, the private detective I hired is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:41:49I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:41:53Okay.
00:41:59You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:42:05Contract or not.
00:42:07I feel the same way, Mia.
00:42:09I wouldn't ever want to lose you.
00:42:14I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:42:17It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:42:24It's wonderful.
00:42:26You're really talented.
00:42:28Thank you so much for your support.
00:42:31It means the world to me.
00:42:46Hello?
00:42:49James, 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.
00:42:59Sure. Where should we meet?
00:43:03I can rearrange some work to make it.
00:43:06That's great.
00:43:08Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:43:12I'll be at your office at 3 p.m., and we can go over all the details.
00:43:17Thank you for your recognition.
00:43:18I am more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:43:42Hi. I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:43:47My apologies, James.
00:43:50I 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.
00:44:05It's a great opportunity.
00:44:07She surely is very excited about this.
00:44:42I'm James Turner, your...
00:44:47...
00:44:49Jimmy?
00:44:51Don't you remember me?
00:44:56I'm sorry, but I can't seem to.
00:45:01Perhaps this will help you to remember.
00:45:09I thought as much.
00:45:11It's me, your beloved Mabel.
00:45:17Mabel? What the...
00:45:41You know, Mabel, next year is going to be a whole new world to me.
00:45:46I know, babe.
00:45:48I can't believe you're graduating.
00:45:51Time did fly.
00:45:53Life after college.
00:45:55It's a bit scary, but I'm so excited.
00:45:58I want to work in real estate and I can't wait what I can achieve.
00:46:03I'm sure nothing can stop you from your goal.
00:46:11I can't wait to graduate so we can get married.
00:46:14Yeah, I know.
00:46:17Did you lock the door?
00:46:19Of course I did.
00:46:22I hope you won't change after you leave.
00:46:25I won't.
00:46:40Mabel?
00:46:42James, I can't explain.
00:46:44I'm so sorry you have to find out like this, but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:47:02Mabel?
00:47:04What are you doing here?
00:47:06It's Victoria.
00:47:08And for business, of course, darling.
00:47:14What are you playing here?
00:47:16What's up with all the charade?
00:47:20Let's say I wanted to see how have you been, James.
00:47:26You know, for the old time's sake.
00:47:29Old time's sake?
00:47:31You cheated on me with my best friend.
00:47:34What do you want?
00:47:36People change, James.
00:47:38And I just can't let you off my mind.
00:47:44How did you become the president of this company?
00:47:47What are you hiding?
00:47:49A woman like me can get whatever I want with just a little trick.
00:47:55See?
00:47:57I helped you get this project.
00:47:59I've missed you, James.
00:48:02Missed us.
00:48:04We should be together.
00:48:06I'm the only one who can help you.
00:48:09No, Victoria.
00:48:12I won't let you manipulate me.
00:48:14Not again.
00:48:22You have always been a challenge, James.
00:48:25This is not how I imaged our reunion.
00:48:28If you come here to talk about that project, let's get to it.
00:48:32Otherwise, you should leave.
00:48:34Don't be so harsh.
00:48:36You want business?
00:48:38We'll talk about business.
00:48:40Let's get professional.
00:48:43James.
00:48:45The reason I chose you is not only because of our past.
00:48:48I trust you on your ability.
00:48:51I know what you're capable of.
00:48:54Really?
00:48:56Oh, please.
00:48:58Put our history behind, will you?
00:49:01I have a responsibility to my company, too.
00:49:04Okay?
00:49:06I didn't take this job for fun.
00:49:08Fine.
00:49:10Let's be clear.
00:49:12I won't do anything that goes against my principles or the law.
00:49:17Agreed, James.
00:49:19We'll keep it strictly professional.
00:49:43Scott.
00:49:45You won't believe what just happened.
00:49:47What's the matter?
00:49:58Wait.
00:50:00Mabel?
00:50:02Your ex-girlfriend from college?
00:50:04You haven't seen her in years, right?
00:50:06That's the one.
00:50:08She's now going by Victoria, and she's the president of this major corporation.
00:50:11She wants my help on a project.
00:50:14I can't shake feeling that there's more to it.
00:50:18I think we have to wait for her move.
00:50:21I need to find out what's really going on.
00:50:24But I can't do it alone.
00:50:26Will you help me, Scott?
00:50:28Of course. Happy to help.
00:50:30She wants you involved in a real estate project.
00:50:32But it's more than just business, I'm sure of it.
00:50:35I have the same feeling.
00:50:37Nothing is ever pure about her.
00:50:38I don't want Mia to worry about this.
00:50:40She's working on an important artwork.
00:50:42And I promise, I'll protect her.
00:50:45Of course.
00:50:47I'll try my best to find out Victoria's true intent.
00:50:50Thanks, man.
00:50:52What should I do without you?
00:51:05James.
00:51:07James, are you okay?
00:51:09You seem a little bit off tonight.
00:51:12Sorry to make you work, babe.
00:51:14Just stuff with work, you know.
00:51:16Alright.
00:51:18It'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, it shouldn't worry you.
00:51:32I can handle it myself.
00:51:34Trust me.
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.
00:51:47Thank you, Mia.
00:51:49You focus on your beautiful project and leave everything else to me.
00:51:53James, we're one.
00:51:56There's nothing that we can't handle together.
00:52:04Hi, Jimmy.
00:52:07Victoria.
00:52:09What an unexpected surprise.
00:52:12I don't recall any business meeting with you today.
00:52:17I'm just visiting an old friend.
00:52:20I've moved on with my life.
00:52:23I have Mia and she means everything to me.
00:52:26Oh, please, James.
00:52:28You wouldn't let a college flinch close your judgment after all these years.
00:52:33Right?
00:52:34Right?
00:52:36Spare me the details.
00:52:38You betrayed me with my own roommate.
00:52:41What did you expect me to do, James?
00:52:44You were leaving college.
00:52:46And I wouldn't survive alone with a blood-sucking family.
00:52:50I need someone to back me up.
00:52:52I was a child.
00:52:54I don't care about your reasons anymore, Victoria.
00:52:58I got over you a long time ago.
00:53:01So cut wherever you're playing here.
00:53:04Come back here, dummy.
00:53:07I don't ever want to meet you again outside of our normal business arrangements.
00:53:17James, I never said I wanted to be your wife.
00:53:22I just want to be in your life.
00:53:26And...
00:53:29You are coming with us to check the new site for our project?
00:53:32It'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? That's unexpected.
00:53:53When do you leave?
00:53:55Tomorrow morning.
00:53:57I know it's a short notice, but I'll be back before you know it.
00:54:00All right, James. Just be safe and don't overwork yourself.
00:54:06I will. I'll miss you so much.
00:54:25James!
00:54:26James!
00:54:29You've had quite a bit.
00:54:33Is everything all right?
00:54:37Just try to...
00:54:40relax.
00:54:51Everything's fine, just...
00:54:54leave me.
00:54:56Just...
00:55:05You've had enough tonight, James.
00:55:08Let me make sure you're comfortable.
00:55:12Victoria, what are you...
00:55:15doing?
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...
00:55:24want?
00:55:26You, James.
00:55:28I want you.
00:55:30I want all of you.
00:55:32Your body,
00:55:34your love,
00:55:36and even your soul.
00:55:41Stop it. I'm...
00:55:43I'm married.
00:55:46I don't mind.
00:55:48Or maybe this makes you want it more.
00:55:51You enjoy it, don't you?
00:55:54I know exactly how to please you.
00:55:57Yeah.
00:55:59I can do it, darling.
00:56:01Oh, come on, darling.
00:56:04We all know about your little contract.
00:56:08Besides,
00:56:10she would never find out.
00:56:14Now this is what we're talking about, James.
00:56:18Now this is what we're talking about, James.
00:56:32What the hell happened?
00:56:40I can't believe I let it get this far.
00:56:44What's wrong, baby?
00:56:46What's wrong?
00:56:48Victoria, this is a mistake.
00:56:51Did you set me up?
00:56:53Why are you laying next to me?
00:56:55Oh, you were just so energetic.
00:56:59Stop the games.
00:57:01I'm serious.
00:57:02I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do with you.
00:57:09Well, well.
00:57:11Let's say
00:57:13we had a stunning night
00:57:16and
00:57:18I saved some pictures for memories.
00:57:23Delete those pictures right now.
00:57:28Why don't you come here and make me?
00:57:32You're playing with fire.
00:57:34I won't be blackmailed or manipulated.
00:57:36Delete them now.
00:57:43It's no fun, James.
00:57:50I want you to step away from my life.
00:57:52This can't happen again.
00:57:55We'll see about that.
00:58:09Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy.
00:58:11You can never run away from me.
00:58:17Oh, my God.
00:58:18James, you're home.
00:58:21I miss you too, babe.
00:58:22It's good to be home.
00:58:23Tell me everything about your trip.
00:58:26It 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.
00:58:34Okay, sure.
00:58:37I'm just so glad you're home.
00:58:41I miss you too.
00:58:59Hello?
00:59:00Hello, Mia.
00:59:02Who's this?
00:59:05I guess Jimmy didn't tell you about me.
00:59:08I'm Victoria,
00:59:09the president of the company James is presently partnering in.
00:59:13Okay.
00:59:14How may I help you?
00:59:15You see,
00:59:17Jimmy and I have come a long way,
00:59:19and since you're not really married to him,
00:59:22so I guess there is no harm in stepping in.
00:59:25What do you mean?
00:59:26You see,
00:59:28James is mine,
00:59:29and mine alone.
00:59:31If you will kindly excuse us so we can be together,
00:59:34that would be great.
00:59:36He would never like someone like you.
00:59:39Oh, please.
00:59:40He showed lots of love to me not long ago.
00:59:44He surely had no time to think of you.
00:59:46I sent you the pictures.
00:59:49Hope you enjoy them.
00:59:58Impossible.
01:00:00He would never do this to me.
01:00:10Hey.
01:00:11What's wrong?
01:00:13Nothing.
01:00:16How was your day?
01:00:18Oh.
01:00:20Easy as usual.
01:00:24Who is
01:00:25Victoria?
01:00:28Victoria?
01:00:30Where did you hear that name from?
01:00:32She called me James.
01:00:35She said things.
01:00:36Things
01:00:38I can't believe.
01:00:43Mia, it's...
01:00:45I can't explain.
01:00:47You have to know
01:00:49you're the one
01:00:51and the only one I love.
01:00:56Tell me the truth, James.
01:00:59Is she
01:01:00important to you?
01:01:01Is she
01:01:02important to you?
01:01:13She's my ex from college
01:01:15and
01:01:17also my current business partner.
01:01:20And what about this?
01:01:22Is this part of your business?
01:01:29We
01:01:32We had a business meeting.
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
01:01:42and I don't want her to ruin us.
01:01:47Tell me the truth, James.
01:01:49What happened that night?
01:01:55Mia.
01:01:56I tried to stop her.
01:01:59I was
01:02:00I was
01:02:02too drunk and also confused.
01:02:07I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
01:02:11You put our relationship on edge.
01:02:14I'm so sorry.
01:02:16I'll do everything it takes
01:02:18to make this right.
01:02:20Please don't give up on us.
01:02:27I need some space.
01:02:29Please just
01:02:32leave me alone.
01:02:51Samantha, found anything?
01:02:53Yes, I got a lead.
01:02:55It's been a challenging investigation
01:02:56but I've uncovered some crucial information
01:02:59leads on Richard Kingsley.
01:03:02I'm listening.
01:03:04He went to the same college with Mia
01:03:06and he developed an obsession over her everything.
01:03:10He's been stalking your life,
01:03:12collecting information
01:03:14and attempting to get her.
01:03:16This is insane.
01:03:18How did he get so close to us?
01:03:20He uses virus, illnesses
01:03:22and keeps a low profile
01:03:23which made it challenging to track him.
01:03:26But we've identified his patterns
01:03:28and his current location.
01:03:30I'd advise involving the authorities
01:03:33and getting a restraining order against him.
01:03:36Thank you, Samantha.
01:03:38I appreciate your dedication.
01:03:40You and Mia deserve peace, James.
01:03:42I will continue to monitor the situation
01:03:44but please take legal action to protect yourself.
01:03:50I'll take care of her.
01:03:51It's time for me to take control.
01:04:10It's time to tell the truth, Richard.
01:04:12Don't you think?
01:04:14Who sent you after us?
01:04:16Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan.
01:04:19If you don't tell the truth
01:04:21I'll call the cops on you.
01:04:23Fine.
01:04:25Fine. It was Victoria.
01:04:27Victoria?
01:04:29How did she convince you to do this?
01:04:34She told me about your contract marriage.
01:04:37She told me you don't even care about Mia.
01:04:41She promised to help me get Mia back
01:04:44after she gets you back.
01:04:47You were manipulated, Richard.
01:04:50You're such a clown.
01:04:59James!
01:05:01I haven't seen you.
01:05:05I thought someone would never want to see me again, huh?
01:05:09Miss me already?
01:05:12Victoria, I want answers.
01:05:15Why did you hire Richard to stalk us?
01:05:19Richard?
01:05:22Never heard any Richard in my life.
01:05:25I know it was you.
01:05:27He told me everything.
01:05:31Okay.
01:05:33It was me.
01:05:35But I did it for us.
01:05:39For us?
01:05:41I don't know there is an us.
01:05:43I've always loved you, Jimmy.
01:05:46I just want to be back together with you.
01:05:56Here's the plan.
01:05:59We need to kidnap Mia
01:06:01without anyone tracing her back to us.
01:06:06We are professionals.
01:06:08We know what we're doing.
01:06:10We are professionals.
01:06:12We know how to cover our tracks.
01:06:15Good.
01:06:17And remember,
01:06:19I want her unharmed.
01:06:22This is just
01:06:24to make James realized
01:06:26he belongs to me.
01:06:30We understand.
01:06:32You get what you want.
01:06:39What?
01:06:48What?
01:06:54Hello?
01:06:58Who's there?
01:07:05My, my, Mia.
01:07:07What a tangled web we weave.
01:07:14It's me,
01:07:16Victoria.
01:07:18What do you want?
01:07:20I warned you to walk away,
01:07:22but 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.
01:07:51Maybe Jimmy wanted to have a bet,
01:07:53but why else would he choose you over me?
01:07:57What we have is real,
01:07:59and you need to face the truth.
01:08:01Listen to me carefully, bunny.
01:08:03If you truly care for James,
01:08:05you will stay away from him.
01:08:07It's not a negotiation.
01:08:09It's a demand.
01:08:11James and I are married,
01:08:13and there's nothing you can do about it.
01:08:18Don't be too confident
01:08:20just yet.
01:08:28Mia!
01:08:29Mia!
01:08:31Hi, Jimmy.
01:08:33What's the hurry?
01:08:36You came as soon as you got the message, huh?
01:08:39I only sent you the message
01:08:41to see how much you would sacrifice for Mia.
01:08:44Mia!
01:08:46Let her go.
01:08:48You want me? I'm here.
01:08:50You've got one minute, James.
01:08:53Your precious contract wife
01:08:55or the woman who's loved you all along.
01:09:00Victoria.
01:09:03Why are you doing this?
01:09:06You're risking your own life.
01:09:09You just never believed
01:09:11that I truly loved you, right?
01:09:13I won't even have a life after tonight.
01:09:16But before anything happens,
01:09:18I'll get what I want.
01:09:25Please,
01:09:27put the gun down.
01:09:29You don't want to end up like this.
01:09:32Mia is the only one in love.
01:09:48Hey, it'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.
01:10:00I know I was scared too.
01:10:03But here we are.
01:10:06And I'll always protect you.
01:10:08You mean the world to me.
01:10:11I love you, James.
01:10:13I love you too.
01:10:18Why?
01:10:20Why did you betray me?
01:10:22Mia.
01:10:24I never wanted to hurt you.
01:10:26I was overwhelmed.
01:10:27And 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'm the
01:10:41kind of woman you can
01:10:44fight with.
01:10:46Mia.
01:10:48Mia!
01:10:58Are you okay?
01:11:00You scared the hell out of me.
01:11:03It's okay.
01:11:05I feel better now.
01:11:07I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:11:10I guess
01:11:12tonight's events
01:11:14took a lot out of me.
01:11:17I'm so sorry for
01:11:19everything that happened.
01:11:21I'm so sorry.
01:11:23I'm sorry.
01:11:25I'm sorry.
01:11:27I'm sorry for everything that has happened.
01:11:29I love you.
01:11:32And I guess
01:11:34carrying a baby
01:11:36also takes away from my strength.
01:11:41What?
01:11:43What did you just say?
01:11:45Well,
01:11:47I've been having some
01:11:49fainting incidents recently, so
01:11:52I went to the hospital by myself and
01:11:57I feel like in 8 months
01:11:59you're going to become a dad.
01:12:04What?
01:12:06You're pregnant?
01:12:09Oh my God!
01:12:11I can't believe!
01:12:13I had no idea!
01:12:15You should have told me earlier!
01:12:17I can't believe we're becoming parents!
01:12:19This is the most exciting moment in my life!
01:12:22I knew you would be happy.
01:12:23James,
01:12:25with the baby coming
01:12:27and the incidents behind us,
01:12:29I think it's time
01:12:31we come clean to our parents.
01:12:34They deserve to know the truth
01:12:36and we have to tell them
01:12:38they have a grandchild on the way.
01:12:41You're right, Mia.
01:12:43It's time to be honest with them.
01:12:50I'm so happy!
01:12:51You know, Mia,
01:12:53I was thinking
01:12:55I want a girl.
01:12:57She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:12:59Oh, really?
01:13:01I'm imagining a boy
01:13:03with your intelligence
01:13:05and my sense of beauty.
01:13:07But
01:13:09as long as the little one is healthy,
01:13:11I'm satisfied.
01:13:13Never been more excited about the future.
01:13:15Me too, James.
01:13:17This journey,
01:13:19our journey,
01:13:21has been a surprise
01:13:23in every sense of the word.
01:13:25Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:13:27And maybe, just maybe,
01:13:29we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:13:38Breakfast in bed
01:13:40for my beautiful princess.
01:13:42Oh my God!
01:13:44Are you trying to spoil me?
01:13:46Maybe I am.
01:13:48You deserve it.
01:13:49I love the nuggets.
01:13:52I believe in us, James.
01:13:55We've gone through a lot of challenges
01:13:58and come out even stronger.
01:14:01Tonight is the last step
01:14:03for us to become a real couple.
01:14:08I'm lucky to have you here by my side, Mia.
01:14:12It doesn't matter how angry they get
01:14:14upon hearing the news.
01:14:17We'll face it together.
01:14:20Mom,
01:14:22we need to tell you something
01:14:24about our marriage.
01:14:30Our marriage started with a live tune
01:14:32of All of Me.
01:14:34And?
01:14:37It was a business arrangement.
01:14:39But
01:14:41over time,
01:14:43we fell in love with each other.
01:14:45We want to make it real.
01:14:46And we'd like to have your blessing
01:14:48for real this time.
01:14:50Well,
01:14:52your marriage,
01:14:54contract or not,
01:14:56has looked pretty real to me
01:14:58from the very beginning.
01:15:01And I'm glad you guys
01:15:03are brave enough
01:15:05to admit the mistakes
01:15:07and go on with your
01:15:09real, happy marriage life.
01:15:11Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:15:15I'll always be there for her.
01:15:18And we have a new member
01:15:20coming to the family soon.
