Transcript
00:00:00We had 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 see to it.
00:00:23Perhaps this will happen to me.
00:00:31I've thought as much.
00:00:33It's me.
00:00:35You'll be laughing at that.
00:00:37She will 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.
00:01:28You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:30Mia is the only one in love.
00:01:58Macallan, meet.
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?
00:02:22My family have been on my case for years.
00:02:25It's likely they have already chosen my future spouse.
00:02:32My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:02:40I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:02:45I'm Mia. Pleasure to meet you.
00:02:49It's our endless battle.
00:02:54It's my new comrade.
00:03:09James, right?
00:03:11Fancy seeing you here.
00:03:14Or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:19Scotch, neat.
00:03:23How are things going on your end?
00:03:26My mom calls me every single day
00:03:29to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:03:33What was your excuse?
00:03:36I'm not sure.
00:03:39I'm not sure.
00:03:42And what was your response?
00:03:45I said yes just to stop her calls,
00:03:48but I don't think there's anyone.
00:03:50You?
00:03:53My parents are obsessed with my kids.
00:03:55Even Doll still sees me.
00:03:57Scotch, please.
00:04:07Here.
00:04:09To our endless battle.
00:04:18Mia, I've been thinking.
00:04:20Why don't we help each other out here?
00:04:35What do you mean?
00:04:37Maybe we can be the plus one for each other,
00:04:40so our families will stop pushing us.
00:04:43Fake boyfriend?
00:04:45Interesting.
00:04:47Only once.
00:04:49And we can be free for a long time.
00:04:52It's not what I usually do, but
00:04:55maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:04:59These nights just keep getting more interesting.
00:05:02Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:05:05Not yet. Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:05:08Okay, boyfriend.
00:05:10Why don't you introduce yourself more to me?
00:05:13Well, I own a real estate company.
00:05:16We work with many partners on their projects.
00:05:19You sure look like a boss.
00:05:21The Scotch gives it away.
00:05:23Alright, enough about me.
00:05:25Tell me something about yourself.
00:05:27Well, I'm an artist and a gallery owner.
00:05:32Not to show off, but
00:05:34you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:05:38Wait, are you Mia Davis?
00:05:40That Mia Davis?
00:05:42In the flesh, darling.
00:05:50I understand the emergency,
00:05:52but 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.
00:06:30Hey there.
00:06:32Mia, what a pleasant surprise.
00:06:35How did you have time to call me today?
00:06:37Is this a bad time?
00:06:39You sound like you've had a rough day.
00:06:41It was one of those days.
00:06:43Well, sounds like you could use a break.
00:06:47How about a drink to unwind later?
00:06:50I'm a drinker.
00:06:52I'm a drinker.
00:06:54I'm a drinker.
00:06:56I'm a drinker.
00:06:59Yeah, I can really use that.
00:07:02I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:07:12Knowing my mom,
00:07:14she'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.
00:07:29Here we go, James.
00:07:31Remember, we're a couple deeply in love.
00:07:35Got it.
00:07:41Mom, I'm home!
00:07:44Mia!
00:07:46It's been so long.
00:07:49Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:07:52Pleasure to meet you.
00:07:54Mom, this is James, my boyfriend.
00:07:57Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Davis.
00:07:59Mia's told me so much about you.
00:08:01Please, call me Maria.
00:08:03Common name.
00:08:05Help yourself with some cookies
00:08:07before I finish dressing the turkey.
00:08:11So far, so good.
00:08:13Let's keep it up.
00:08:16You know, I'm actually enjoying this date.
00:08:19Me too.
00:08:21I feel like we're a real couple.
00:08:25So, you too.
00:08:28Tell me how you met.
00:08:31Of course.
00:08:33It was a charming little cafe on 3rd Avenue.
00:08:36Mia was sitting alone, reading a chapter from Eugene Ediots.
00:08:40And we were just chatting.
00:08:42Oh, I've met you.
00:08:45I'm so happy you guys met each other.
00:08:49It's been so long,
00:08:51but we've met for the first time in so long.
00:09:13Mia, your mom's here.
00:09:15What do we do?
00:09:17Quick, come in here.
00:09:23Okay.
00:09:24Come in.
00:09:29Good morning, lovebirds.
00:09:31I can see you had a lovely night.
00:09:34I hope you enjoyed it.
00:09:36I did.
00:09:38Good morning, lovebirds.
00:09:40I can see you had a lovely night.
00:09:42Stop it, mom, you're making it awkward.
00:09:46Look at you, all glowing.
00:09:52I'll do everything for my princess.
00:09:54Okay, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:10:00Okay, okay, just don't take too long.
00:10:03And she'll let you get back to the city today.
00:10:09I have to say, it was quite a play in your house.
00:10:12It was perfect.
00:10:14They all bought it.
00:10:16Remember how your mom almost caught us in the bedroom?
00:10:19My heart was about to jump out when I heard that knock.
00:10:23But we made it.
00:10:27So, has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit?
00:10:32They just won't let the topic off you.
00:10:36They just won't let the topic off you.
00:10:38Same here.
00:10:40But now, my mom won't stop asking me about the wedding.
00:10:43I'm going to lose my mind.
00:10:48Let's just share the night we have right now.
00:10:51While we still can.
00:10:54You know, James.
00:10:56It's nice like these that really make me appreciate the simple things in life.
00:11:02I feel the same.
00:11:04I know there's beauty in commitment, but...
00:11:07shouldn't it be our own life choice to make?
00:11:10Exactly.
00:11:12I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends
00:11:16than to let them go to waste.
00:11:20I'd rather cherish these moments with you and my friends
00:11:24telling me to rush into a life
00:11:27raising kids in a house
00:11:29and giving up all of my freedoms?
00:11:32No thank you.
00:11:38Wait.
00:11:40I have an idea.
00:11:42It might help both of us.
00:11:44I'm all ears.
00:11:47I'm thinking...
00:11:49What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:11:55I'm thinking...
00:11:57What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:12:02Please elaborate.
00:12:05What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:12:10A contract marriage?
00:12:12Yeah.
00:12:13Our families will be satisfied while we actually live a free life.
00:12:17We'll make a legal contract with...
00:12:19maybe separate bedrooms?
00:12:21Financial terms and so on?
00:12:23Oh.
00:12:25No feelings should be included.
00:12:27This is huge.
00:12:29I need to think about it.
00:12:32I know.
00:12:34It's not something you do with the person whom you just met.
00:12:37But 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...
00:12:53Love and marriage are not supposed to be contractual.
00:12:58They should be based on emotions and...
00:13:01connection that grows naturally.
00:13:05Get it, Mia. I do.
00:13:07But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:13:10And we need to adapt to that.
00:13:12Our life won't change a bit.
00:13:14Just more freedom with this contract.
00:13:16But what about the no emotions term?
00:13:20Should we really cut off our feelings like that?
00:13:24It's necessary.
00:13:26We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:13:29It will make things difficult.
00:13:34You do make a good point.
00:13:37I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:13:42But we need to set boundaries.
00:13:46Conditions.
00:13:47We'll stick with friendship.
00:13:49Contractual partners.
00:13:52Agreed, Mia.
00:13:53I'll write the legal contract.
00:13:55And we should both be clear about all the terms.
00:13:58Oh, and one more thing, James.
00:14:00We need to keep our personal lives separate from all of this.
00:14:04We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:14:09Absolutely.
00:14:11Our contract won't affect any of our lives.
00:14:14We can make it done tomorrow.
00:14:16Follow our script, we'll take care of everything.
00:14:20Deal.
00:14:21Okay.
00:14:32I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:14:36Yeah, we've got that far, Mia.
00:14:41Let's go through this contract together.
00:14:43Okay.
00:14:47Separate bedrooms.
00:14:51No feelings, Klaus.
00:14:57And clear financial terms.
00:15:02Yep.
00:15:04We'll be committed to each other from now on.
00:15:21Yeah.
00:15:31I just can't believe we did that.
00:15:35So, what's next?
00:15:37We'll tell our parents and make it official.
00:15:40I'll propose to you in your apartment and send pictures to our families.
00:15:45Oh, it's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:15:50Yes, then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it.
00:15:54It's all part of the plan.
00:15:56I really want to get this out of my head.
00:15:59Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:16:11Did you turn the camera on?
00:16:14Yeah, it's working.
00:16:20Mia, there is something I wanted to ask you tonight.
00:16:23Yes?
00:16:28Mia, will you marry me?
00:16:31Oh my God, James, yes!
00:16:38Oh my God!
00:16:51I love you.
00:17:02I can't believe we just did that.
00:17:04It's all part of the plan.
00:17:07Yeah.
00:17:17This is our first big show on the stage.
00:17:21We have to make sure that we look like a happy couple in front of everyone.
00:17:29Of course, not a mistake is allowed tonight.
00:17:38Another successful play.
00:17:44It's getting harder for me to tell between all this and the truth.
00:17:48I know, but we have to stay firm.
00:17:54We have to stay true to ourselves.
00:17:58We have to stay true to ourselves.
00:18:01We have to stay true to ourselves.
00:18:04We have to stay firm.
00:18:07Focus on the bigger picture.
00:18:09Neither of us wants a real marriage right now.
00:18:12And we still have our wedding in two days.
00:18:20Let's get some rest.
00:18:22Good night.
00:18:23Good night.
00:18:35Mia, are you okay?
00:18:39Please, open up.
00:18:42Talk to me.
00:18:45I can't do this, James.
00:18:48At the wedding, I saw everyone's faces.
00:18:52They were so happy and blessed us with their whole hearts.
00:18:57I feel like I betrayed everyone.
00:19:02I feel like I betrayed everyone of them.
00:19:07But we are already here.
00:19:09There is no way of going back.
00:19:12I saw their faces.
00:19:15They believed in us.
00:19:17It was all a huge lie.
00:19:20I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:19:24It's not easy for me either.
00:19:27But we have to hang in there.
00:19:30We can't let them down right now.
00:19:49I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:19:53I wish that too, Mia.
00:19:55But I promise we can get through it.
00:19:57I promise.
00:20:00I promise.
00:20:20James, I have something that I want to say.
00:20:25Mia, we agreed.
00:20:29No feelings.
00:20:34I know, but...
00:20:45Compliments of a friend.
00:20:49Please, enjoy your evening.
00:21:03James, what's this?
00:21:24I love you.
00:21:55James?
00:21:59Where are you?
00:22:01Right here, Mia.
00:22:03Is there any candle?
00:22:10James.
00:22:16So, any clue on that note?
00:22:25Um...
00:22:32Sorry.
00:22:37Hello?
00:22:39I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you.
00:22:41A gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:22:46Someone knows our secret.
00:22:49What 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.
00:23:40You too.
00:23:43I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:23:54Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding,
00:23:57I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:24:06It's not a fairy tale.
00:24:09It's a bloody reality.
00:24:12But, I still like it.
00:24:15It's our story.
00:24:37What's happening?
00:24:42We're stuck.
00:24:44What do we do?
00:24:46I need to be there on time.
00:24:49Let's call the building.
00:24:51They should come and fix this.
00:25:01There's no signal.
00:25:03We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:25:06We won't.
00:25:08Someone will notice the elevator went wrong
00:25:11and come to fix this.
00:25:13We just need to be patient.
00:25:19What's that for?
00:25:21Just to give us some strength.
00:25:23Friends can help too.
00:25:25Okay.
00:25:28I can't believe this is happening.
00:25:32Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:25:38You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:25:46James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:25:51I don't know.
00:25:53James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:25:58They'd be so disappointed.
00:26:02We're doing everything we can.
00:26:04So far, we did good.
00:26:06Everyone is happy.
00:26:09I just think about how far we've come.
00:26:13Since the day we met, there was the gala,
00:26:16the proposal, the wedding,
00:26:19and now blackmail?
00:26:22It's like an endless spy game.
00:26:25I know.
00:26:27But we're in this together.
00:26:29We chose this to take control of our life.
00:26:32Now we are tied together by fate.
00:26:35We are one.
00:26:40I suddenly feel so relieved.
00:26:44Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:26:49I know. I always rush to my friends after a bad day.
00:26:52And here I am, with a dearest friend.
00:26:57And now maybe I can finally get some space from my mom,
00:27:00now that I'm busy with my new husband.
00:27:03Mine too.
00:27:05My mom called the other day,
00:27:07but when she saw you walk out from the bath,
00:27:09she hung up as soon as she could.
00:27:11But of course, she made fun of us.
00:27:14Or maybe next time I can show up even sexier,
00:27:18and then she can make fun of you some more.
00:27:21I'm sexy now.
00:27:34Maybe we should talk about what just happened.
00:27:38The moment was...
00:27:40I enjoyed it.
00:27:42It was something I never thought I would say.
00:27:45But it's not what we expected.
00:27:48I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:27:51Mia, I have to tell you.
00:27:53I don't want to lie to myself or to you anymore.
00:27:58I care about you more than I should.
00:28:01I don't want to hide my feelings and pretend nothing is there.
00:28:06I'm in love with you.
00:28:12I actually feel the exact same way.
00:28:18I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:28:22Although we got into this relationship to avoid affection,
00:28:27I'm glad that fate brought us together.
00:28:31Let's tell everyone the truth.
00:28:33I'm sure they'll understand.
00:28:35Maybe mad at first, but they'll be happy for us in the end.
00:28:39Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:28:42I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right.
00:28:45It should be our priority right now.
00:29:00James, our parents aside,
00:29:03I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:29:07Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:29:11Mia, I have no idea.
00:29:13But I hired an investigator.
00:29:15I hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:29:18I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:29:28We should have never gotten ourselves into this mess.
00:29:31This contract marriage was a stupid idea in hindsight,
00:29:34bringing us all of these unexpected problems.
00:29:38We chose this to live a better life, Mia.
00:29:47And yet I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:29:51We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:29:54We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage,
00:29:58and we'll for sure catch the person hunting us.
00:30:04We will.
00:30:32Who's there?
00:30:34Who's there?
00:30:44Anyone here?
00:30:46What do you want from me?
00:30:56You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:30:58Where am I?
00:31:01What did I do?
00:31:03I assure you there is a misunderstanding.
00:31:06Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:31:10Don't worry, you will know what we want soon enough.
00:31:12I just need you to behave right now.
00:31:15We can talk things out.
00:31:17You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:31:20I will cooperate.
00:31:22If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:31:26Just let me go.
00:31:33Please.
00:31:51Hello?
00:31:52Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:31:55Mia's life depends on you.
00:31:57Don't bother.
00:31:58You won't recognize who I am.
00:32:00What matters is Mia.
00:32:02You have 24 hours to prepare five million dollars
00:32:05if you want to see her alive.
00:32:07Who are you and what do you want?
00:32:09That is not a question for me to answer.
00:32:11Just do as I said.
00:32:13I can't arrange that much money in such a short time.
00:32:16That's not my concern.
00:32:18Mr. Turner, you can't put a price on love, can you?
00:32:23I need to be sure she's okay.
00:32:24Let me talk to her.
00:32:26That won't be happening.
00:32:28I swear, if you dare to touch her,
00:32:30I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:32:42I don't know what to do, Scott.
00:32:43They're asking for five million in 24 hours.
00:32:46I can't lose her.
00:32:48We'll figure it out, James.
00:32:50I'll do everything that I can.
00:32:52I can't lose Mia.
00:32:56I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:33:01We found each other the one we have been looking for our whole life.
00:33:05Oh, no.
00:33:06This was not meant to happen.
00:33:09I have to find her.
00:33:10I can't stand to see her in danger.
00:33:13We will.
00:33:14But who would commit such a horrible crime?
00:33:18Anyone raise a bell?
00:33:20Mia wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:33:22I can assure you.
00:33:23This has something to do with that blackmail we received.
00:33:28Blackmail?
00:33:30Someone has been stalking us.
00:33:32They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:33:35Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:33:42Mark, please, I need your help.
00:33:45Mia's life is in danger.
00:33:47I wish I could, James.
00:33:49Five million is a lot.
00:33:52I can't pull those resources in such a short time.
00:33:56David Mark, when it comes to your turn, I dropped a lot of things to help you.
00:34:00You're a fucking nuisance.
00:34:02I guess our business partnership has also come to an end.
00:34:05You're a fucking nuisance.
00:34:21I might be able to catch this up.
00:34:29Thank you for calling CPM Bank.
00:34:31Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:34:35I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:34:38I want to cash it out immediately.
00:34:40I understand the urgency.
00:34:42Please give us a moment.
00:34:52Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:34:54It's for an urgent matter.
00:34:56Sure, since this is a huge sum of money, I will be needing you to come over.
00:35:01I will be there in 20 minutes.
00:35:03Please get the cash ready by then.
00:35:05Yes, sir. I'll note it.
00:35:07Great.
00:35:23Is it ready?
00:35:24Yes. Give me the location.
00:35:27Boom!
00:35:34I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:35:38I'd do anything to keep you safe. We're in this together.
00:35:45I thought I'd never see you again.
00:35:48I swear to you, I'll protect you with my life.
00:36:04Hello?
00:36:12I want to give you both an update.
00:36:14We are investigating a lead we got from the drop-off point.
00:36:18Our main focus is on tracking down the kidnappers and bringing them to justice.
00:36:27Thank you, detective. We appreciate your efforts.
00:36:34I'm so, so sorry about all of this, James.
00:36:41It's not your fault. We'll get through this.
00:36:45Here with you.
00:37:04It's been a while since we had a peaceful room like this.
00:37:09Yeah. It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:37:25Mia! You won't believe this!
00:37:29Mia! You won't believe this!
00:37:34What is it?
00:37:36The company chose us to partner in a luxury project.
00:37:39They love my pitch!
00:37:41Oh my god, James, that's amazing!
00:37:45I'm gonna call my employees to announce this news.
00:37:50And an after-party later?
00:37:53You know me too well.
00:37:56Will you pick me up later for our little celebration?
00:38:00Absolutely! I'll meet you at home after work.
00:38:26Yes. I need you to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:38:29We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:38:33Wow! That's fantastic! I will get it done.
00:38:51Thank you all for your time.
00:38:53I'm eager to bring my team on board to execute this project.
00:38:58Before I finish, I'm just curious.
00:39:01Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:39:05Our president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:39:08She said you're an old friend.
00:39:11An old friend?
00:39:14I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:39:17You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:39:20For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:39:50What's wrong, James?
00:39:56Who could that be?
00:40:00I don't know.
00:40:03But we're going to find out soon.
00:40:14Hello?
00:40:17Samantha, have you found anything?
00:40:20I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:40:22Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:40:25James, we've made some significant progress.
00:40:28I think we'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,
00:40:39attempts we found a connection to an individual,
00:40:42We managed to trace the source of the blackmail,
00:40:44attempts we found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:40:48Richard Kingsley? Never heard that name.
00:40:51And why would he do this?
00:40:53We're still working on that part.
00:40:55We'll gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:40:58Thank you, Samantha.
00:41:00Keep me posted on any updates.
00:41:02I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:41:05Of course. We're so close to unraveling this mystery.
00:41:13I'm sorry.
00:41:25I received these pictures of you in the apartment.
00:41:27I tried to call you many times and you didn't answer.
00:41:30I thought something happened to you.
00:41:33I'm so sorry. I've been so engrossed in my painting.
00:41:37Everything's okay.
00:41:39I'm just glad you're okay.
00:41:42I'm safe and sound.
00:41:44Thank you for worrying about me so much.
00:41:48Samantha, the private detective I hired is close to finding the person behind all this.
00:41:53I won't let him walk in one piece after what he has done.
00:42:03You know, it's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life, James.
00:42:09Contract or not.
00:42:11I feel the same way, Mia.
00:42:13I won't ever want to lose you.
00:42:18I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:42:20It may not be to everyone's taste, but it means a lot to me.
00:42:28It's wonderful. You're really talented.
00:42:32Thank you so much for your support.
00:42:34It means the world to me.
00:42:40Bye.
00:42:50Hello?
00:42:52James, I trust you are well.
00:42:55I wanted to inform you that there is an urgent meeting scheduled regarding the latest project we are partnering up on.
00:43:02Sure. Where should we meet?
00:43:05I can rearrange some work to meet you.
00:43:08That's great.
00:43:10Your expertise and insights have been invaluable to us.
00:43:14I'll be at your office at 3pm and we can go over all the details.
00:43:19Thank you for your recognition.
00:43:21I'm more than happy to lead this project to our huge success.
00:43:35Hi. I'm just calling to check if we should reschedule today's meeting.
00:43:40My apologies, James.
00:43:42I wouldn't be able to make the meeting myself due to some unexpected events.
00:43:47But our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:43:51Wow.
00:43:52I'm so excited.
00:43:54I can't wait to meet you.
00:43:56I can't wait to meet you either.
00:43:58I can't wait to meet you either.
00:44:00Our president is on her way to meet with you herself.
00:44:03Wow. I was not aware of it.
00:44:06Maybe you can catch up with each other.

00:56:37What the hell happened?
00:56:44I can't believe I let it get this far.
00:56:49What's wrong, baby?
00:56:53Victoria, this is a mistake.
00:56:56Did you set me up? Why are you laying next to me?
00:57:00Oh, you were just so energetic.
00:57:04Stop the games. I'm serious.
00:57:07I don't love you and don't want to have anything to do with you.
00:57:13Well, well.
00:57:16Let's say we had a stunning night.
00:57:21And I saved some pictures for memories.
00:57:27Delete those pictures right now.
00:57:32Why don't you come here and make me?
00:57:36You're playing with fire.
00:57:38I won't be blackmailed or manipulated.
00:57:41Delete them now.
00:57:48You're just no fun, James.
00:57:55I want you to step away from my life.
00:57:57This can't happen again.
00:58:00We'll see about that.
00:58:12Oh, Jamie, Jamie.
00:58:16You can never run away from me.
00:58:21Oh my God, James, you're home.
00:58:25I miss you too, babe. It's good to be home.
00:58:28Tell me everything about your trip.
00:58:30It was a normal business trip. Nothing special.
00:58:33Let's not talk about it. I just want to enjoy the moment with you.
00:58:39Okay, sure.
00:58:42I'm just so glad you're home.
00:58:57Tell me the truth, James.
00:59:00Is she important to you?
00:59:09She's my ex from college.
00:59:13And also my current business partner.
00:59:17And what about this? Is this part of your business?
00:59:30We had a business meeting. She set me up.
00:59:35I made a mistake.
00:59:38But it's not how it looks like.
00:59:40I love you and I don't want her to ruin us.
00:59:46Tell me the truth, James.
00:59:48What happened that night?
00:59:54Yeah, I tried to stop her.
00:59:58I was too drunk and also confused.
01:00:05I don't know if I can trust you anymore, James.
01:00:09You put our relationship on edge.
01:00:12I'm so sorry. I'll do everything I can to make this right.
01:00:18Please don't give up on us.
01:00:25I need some space.
01:00:28Please just leave me alone.
01:00:34Okay.
01:00:50Samantha, found anything?
01:00:52Yes, I got a lead.
01:00:54It's been a challenging investigation.
01:00:56But I've uncovered some crucial information leads on Richard Kingsley.
01:01:01I'm listening.
01:01:03He went to the same college with Mia.
01:01:05And he developed an obsession over her everything.
01:01:09He's been stalking your life, collecting information, and attempting to get her.
01:01:15This is insane. How did he get so close to us?
01:01:19He uses viruses, illnesses, and keeps a low profile.
01:01:23Which made it challenging to track him.
01:01:26But we've identified his patterns and his current location.
01:01:30I'd advise involving the authorities and getting a restraining order against him.
01:01:36Thank you, Samantha. I appreciate your dedication.
01:01:39You and Mia deserve peace, James.
01:01:41I will continue to monitor the situation.
01:01:44But please take legal action to protect yourself.
01:01:49I'll take care of her. It's time for me to take control.
01:02:00It's time to tell the truth, Richard. Don't you think?
01:02:13Who sent you after us?
01:02:15Someone like you would never think of such a deliberate plan.
01:02:18If you don't tell the truth, I will call the cops on you.
01:02:22Fine. Fine. It was Victoria.
01:02:26Victoria. How did she convince you to do this?
01:02:33She told me about your contract marriage.
01:02:36She told me you don't even care about Mia.
01:02:40She promised to help me get Mia back after she gets you back.
01:02:46You were manipulated, Richard.
01:02:49You're such a clown.
01:02:58James. I haven't seen you.
01:03:04I thought someone would never want to see me again, huh?
01:03:08Miss me already?
01:03:10Victoria, I want answers.
01:03:14Why did you hire Richard to stalk us?
01:03:18Richard? Never heard any Richard in my life.
01:03:23I know it was you. He told me everything.
01:03:29Okay. It was me. But I did it for us.
01:03:37For us? I don't know there is an us.
01:03:47I've always loved you, Jimmy. I just want to be back together with you.
01:03:59Here's the plan.
01:04:02We need to kidnap Mia without anyone tracing back to us.
01:04:09We are professionals. We know how to cover our tracks.
01:04:14Good.
01:04:16And remember, I want her unharmed.
01:04:21This is just to make James realized he belongs to me.
01:04:29I don't understand. You got which one?
01:04:46What?
01:04:52Hello?
01:04:56Who's there?
01:05:03My, my, Mia. What a tangled web we weave.
01:05:12It's me, Victoria.
01:05:16What do you want?
01:05:18I warned you to walk away, but you just wouldn't listen.
01:05:23So I decided to teach you a little lesson.
01:05:27See? You cried.
01:05:31You would never be good enough for James.
01:05:34He'll never get away with this. James wants nothing to do with you.
01:05:40We'll see about that.
01:05:43You can't control other people's feelings.
01:05:47You're such a bunny.
01:05:50Maybe Jimmy wanted to have a bet? Why else he would choose you over me?
01:05:56What we have is real, and you need to face the truth.
01:06:02Listen to me carefully, bunny. If you truly care for James, you will stay away from him.
01:06:08It's not a negotiation. It's a demand.
01:06:11James and I are married, and there's nothing you can do about it.
01:06:18Don't be too confident just yet.
01:06:29Mia!
01:06:30Hi, Jimmy.
01:06:32What's the hurry?
01:06:35You came as soon as you got the message, huh?
01:06:38I only sent you the message to see how much you would sacrifice for Mia.
01:06:42Mia! Let her go. You want me? I'm here.
01:06:49You've got one minute, James.
01:06:51Your precious contract wife with the woman who's loved you all along.
01:07:00Victoria.
01:07:03Why are you doing this?
01:07:06You're risking your own life.
01:07:08You just never believed that I truly loved you, right?
01:07:12I won't even have a life after tonight.
01:07:16But before anything happens, I'll get what I want.
01:07:25Please, put the gun down.
01:07:28You don't want to end up like this.
01:07:31Mia is the only one in love.
01:07:47Hey, it's over now. You're safe.
01:07:52I was so scared, James.
01:07:56I thought I'd never see you again.
01:07:59I know I was scared too.
01:08:02But here we are.
01:08:05And I'll always protect you.
01:08:07You mean the world to me.
01:08:10I love you, James.
01:08:12I love you too.
01:08:17Why?
01:08:19Why did you betray me?
01:08:23I never wanted to hurt you.
01:08:25I was overwhelmed and I lost control.
01:08:29I didn't know how to handle it, so I decided not to tell you and I'm so sorry.
01:08:36You should have trusted me, James.
01:08:39I'm the kind of woman you can fight with.
01:08:46Mia?
01:08:47Mia!
01:08:56Are you okay?
01:08:59You scared the hell out of me.
01:09:02It's okay. I feel better now.
01:09:06I'm sorry to have scared you.
01:09:09I guess tonight's events took a lot out of me.
01:09:16I'm so sorry for what happened.
01:09:20And I guess carrying a baby also takes away from my strength.
01:09:27What?
01:09:29What did you just say?
01:09:31Well, I've been having some fainting incidents recently, so...
01:09:38I don't know what to say.
01:09:41I'm sorry.
01:09:44Well, I've been having some fainting incidents recently, so...
01:09:51I went to the hospital by myself and...
01:09:56It looks like in eight months, you're going to become a dad.
01:10:04What?
01:10:06You're pregnant?
01:10:09Oh my god!
01:10:11I can't believe. I had no idea.
01:10:14You should have told me earlier.
01:10:16I can't believe we're becoming parents.
01:10:18This is the most exciting moment in my life.
01:10:21I knew you would be happy.
01:10:25James, with the baby coming and the incidents behind us,
01:10:30I think it's time we come clean to our parents.
01:10:34They deserve to know the truth.
01:10:37And we have to tell them they have a grandchild on the way.
01:10:42You're right, Mia. It's time to be honest with them.
01:10:51I'm so happy.
01:10:53You know, Mia, I was thinking I want a girl.
01:10:57She'll have your eyes and my smile.
01:10:59Oh, really?
01:11:01I'm imagining a boy with your intelligence and my sense of beauty.
01:11:08But as long as the little one is healthy, I'm satisfied.
01:11:12Never been more excited about the future.
01:11:15Me too, James.
01:11:17This journey, our journey, it's been a surprise in every sense of the word.
01:11:23Surprise can be a good thing, right?
01:11:25And maybe, just maybe, we'll have the best of both worlds.
01:11:31Breakfast in bed for my beautiful princess.
01:11:34Oh, my God. Are you trying to spoil me?
01:11:38Maybe I am. You deserve it.
01:11:41This looks amazing. I love the nuggets.
01:11:45I believe in us, James.
01:11:48We've gone through a lot of challenges and come out even stronger.
01:11:55Tonight is the last step for us to become a real couple.
01:12:01I'm lucky to have you here by my side, Mia.
01:12:04It doesn't matter how angry they get upon hearing the news.
01:12:09We'll face it together.
01:12:15Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:12:19I'm sorry.
01:12:22Mom, we need to tell you something about our marriage.
01:12:31Our marriage started with a light two-year bond.
01:12:35And?
01:12:37It was a business arrangement.
01:12:40But over time, we fell in love with each other.
01:12:46We want to make it real.
01:12:49And we'd like to have your blessing for real this time.
01:12:54Well, your marriage contract or not has looked pretty real to me from the very beginning.
01:13:04And I'm glad you guys are brave enough to admit the mistakes
01:13:09and go on with your real, happy marriage life.
01:13:15Thank you for understanding, Mom.
01:13:20I'll always be there for her.
01:13:23And we have a new member coming to the family soon.
