Billionaire heir's fake poor boyfriend

Short filmTranscript
00:00While diving, I stumbled upon a watch by chance. I sold it for $5,000. With that money, I opened
00:07a flower shop. But my boyfriend keeps asking me for money under the guise of various dreams.
00:13Three years, I ran a flower shop to bankroll my boyfriend's dreams. First time, I emptied the trust fund my
00:19grandma left me. $100,000. Gone.
00:22Second time, I sold my late mom's vintage Porsche. Another $250,000. And now, he wanted $1,000,000 more.
00:30I stared at my phone. One call to my billionaire father could fix everything. The father I swore I'd never
00:36speak to again. Then Luke's iPad lit up. Bro, how much fake debt this time? Luke, make it a million.
00:43Anything less. And that stupid florist will just pay it off again. Bro, damn. Easiest money ever. Plus free sex.
00:51I didn't cry.
00:52I felt sick. For three years. He'd been playing me for a fool. So I made the call. You still
00:58want me back? To take over the empire and marry your ruthless CEO? Fine. I'll do it. I'll be there
01:03in three days.
01:04Nina, I screwed up. I owe a million bucks. Luke played his part perfectly. But I wasn't looking at his
01:10face. I was looking at his wrist. It was a Richard Mill. At least $2,000,000. He was wearing
01:16a $2,000,000 watch. And I was still stupid enough to consider taking out a loan for him.
01:21It's a fake baby. I'll buy you a real one soon. I promise. He thought I was clueless. Just some
01:27poor girl who couldn't tell the real thing from a fake. The iPad on the table lit up again. More
01:31messages popped up. Bro, how's she paying this time? Selling her house? Or selling herself? Bro too. If she starts
01:39selling herself, I want first dips. Three years together. Two fake debts.
01:43I paid them both. All I got in return were lies. He pulled me closer. Putting on that sweet smile
01:50again.
01:50Baby, help me this one last time. Pay this off and we'll get married. I promise.
01:56A billionaire pretending to be broke. Still trying to squeeze the last dollar out of me. I was too tired
02:02to even yell.
02:03But Luke, I'm out of money.
02:04He froze. His face twisted with anger.
02:07Wow! Are you giving up on me? So you think I'm a failure too? I thought you were different!
02:14He stormed out, slamming the door behind him. He expected me to run after him. But I didn't call him
02:20back. Instead, I blocked his number.
02:22I picked up the fake debt notice. No signatures. No official seal. It was a piece of trash. Just like
02:29him.
02:30Put the flower shop up for lease. Sell everything. Leave.
02:33The next morning, I packed my bags. I looked around our dark, tiny apartment. There was nothing worth taking.
02:40A discarded birthday card. A rock from the street. A paper ring. Luke had given them to me as surprises.
02:47Every time I opened one, he looked almost as surprised as I was.
02:51Looking back, he had probably told his staff to grab whatever they could find. He didn't even know what was
02:56inside.
02:57The only real gift he ever gave me was a $10 necklace from a flea market.
03:02He bought it after his first so-called successful startup. He had called me stupid so many times.
03:07Now I knew the truth about him. He really did think I was an idiot.
03:11I searched through his group chats. The word stupid showed up 517 times.
03:16I ran through the rain for blocks to buy him late night takeout.
03:19His text? Nina's so stupid. He had a fever.
03:22I gave him my only raincoat and walked him to the clinic.
03:25His text? She's ridiculously stupid.
03:28Even when I was lying in his arms, dreaming about our future.
03:31Nina is hopelessly stupid.
03:33Broke as a joke and still planning a wedding.
03:35Even through the screen, I could see that mocking smirk on his face.
03:39But it didn't matter anymore. Luke had no place in my future.
03:43I kept packing.
03:44But in the end, my suitcase was empty.
03:46The trash can was full.
03:48Then my phone rang.
03:49Hello, Nina. It's Broker.
03:51I have some news for you.
03:53I'm sorry, but the landlord won't allow subsetting.
03:56At 3 that afternoon, I showed up at a luxury office building to meet my broker.
04:00I glanced through the half-open door.
04:02And there he was.
04:03Luke.
04:04He was wearing a custom-tailored suit.
04:06He was scrolling through his phone while a glamorous woman leaned against him.
04:10I recognized her instantly.
04:12Her name was Lynn.
04:13Two days earlier, my shop had received a massive order.
04:17999 roses.
04:18The customer had left a special instruction.
04:21Do not remove the thorns.
04:22I wrapped every single stem until my hands were bleeding.
04:25I needed the money too badly to say no.
04:27When I delivered the flowers in person, Lynn was the one who took them.
04:31A card was tucked into the middle.
04:33To my one true love, Lynn.
04:35LCC.
04:36LCC.
04:37Luke Zachary Cole.
04:38He had known I was desperate for cash.
04:40He knew I would never turn down a huge order.
04:43He had specifically asked for the thorns to be left on.
04:45He wanted to watch me bleed for his amusement.
04:48That night, I came home ecstatic.
04:50I had told him I made a huge profit.
04:52He bandaged my torn, bloody fingers so gently.
04:56Was he mocking me in his head the whole time?
04:58I wiped the tear away.
04:59I almost laughed at myself.
05:01Then, my broker walked up behind me.
05:03Miss Nina?
05:04The landlord is right inside.
05:06Why aren't you going in?
05:07You mean, Luke?
05:08Yeah.
05:09Didn't you know?
05:10Luke owns the entire block on Main Street.
05:22You win.
05:51Get out of this.
05:52I pretend but I felt yet.
06:00For 27 years, I had run from my real family.
06:04Now, the billionaire father I hated was my only way out.
06:08Dad, please.
06:11Pick me up now, please.
06:13While my world was shattering, Luke was just annoyed.
06:16It had been two days.
06:18I hadn't texted him once.
06:19A friend clapped him on the shoulder, smirking.
06:22What's wrong, Luke?
06:23The little flower's finally out of cash?
06:25Done chasing after you?
06:26Shut up.
06:28Nina is obsessed with me.
06:29She's probably out begging for loans right now.
06:31I'll ignore her for a few more days.
06:33She'll come up with the cash.
06:34The broker from earlier awkwardly approached the group.
06:37Uh, Mr. Cole?
06:38I heard you talking about Nina.
06:40She just called me to sublet her shop.
06:42I wasn't sure if you'd approve it.
06:44Sublit?
06:45Why would she give it up?
06:46Uh, she said she was tired.
06:49Said she was going home to get married.
06:52Elizabeth.
06:53She was
06:53like,
06:53you wonder if she was good.
06:53The parking lot terrible after you leave.
07:22Did never leave a full heel come down.
07:22There was no house.
07:22.
07:52.
08:25.
08:36My father moved fast. Someone was already waiting at the airport.
08:40He was six foot three, dressed in black, and impossible to ignore.
08:44I was a sobbing mess. He didn't speak. He just handed me a tissue.
08:49It smelled like cedar and mint. The scent brought back a memory. He took off his sunglasses.
09:43I finally studied him. He looked untouchable. A sharp jaw. A small scar through his right brain.
09:49A face too handsome to trust. Suddenly, he turned his head. Our eyes locked.
09:54I panicked and stared out the window. But in the reflection of the window, I saw the tips of his
09:59ears turning red.
10:00The man everyone feared was blushing.
10:02Do you need more water?
10:05He asked, almost stumbling over the words.
10:08No, I'm fine.
10:10Suddenly, the plane dropped. Severe turbulence. He reacted on instinct.
10:15His hand closed around my shoulder, shielding me. The heat of his palm burned through my thin shirt.
10:20When the plane steadied, he pulled his hand back. The cabin fell still again.
10:25So why was my heart beating this fast?
10:28When we got to the estate, it was late. My father was waiting in the dining room.
10:33I hadn't seen him in three years. His hair was grayer. He looked old.
10:38I expected a lecture. Or an apology. Instead, he just told me to eat.
10:43Then he kept filling my plate. My eyes burned. I hated him for what he did to my mother.
10:49But I knew he loved me. After dinner, my father finally spoke.
10:54I'm extremely sorry. Due to the heavy fog in London at that time, I missed the last chance to see
11:01your mother.
11:01I couldn't forgive him for her. But he was my father anyway.
11:05Derek came downstairs after work. He smelled faintly of smoke. I wrinkled my nose.
11:10I won't smoke around you again. Nina, I've been managing the empire for your father.
11:16Now that you're back, I'll hand it over to you. You were top of your class at Harvard Business School.
11:20You'll do fine. And if there's anything you don't understand, ask me.
11:26Thank you, Derek.
11:28You've thanked me too many times today. This marriage was arranged to protect the company.
11:33But if you don't want it, I can call it off.
11:35No. I'll marry you. I'm just afraid it's unfair to you.
11:40Because I don't love you yet.
11:42He swallowed hard.
11:44I'll announce the wedding to the press tomorrow. We'll marry the day after.
11:47Derek turned to leave. The scent of cedar and mint drifted past me.
11:51For a second, my heart stumbled.
11:53Derek, have you ever been to Seattle?
11:57He didn't answer. He just walked away.
11:59Two days later, it was our wedding day.
12:02Derek had flown in a couture gown from Paris, shimmering with crystals.
12:06I stood before the mirror, my fingers brushing the silk.
12:10For the first time in years, I felt excited.
12:13Then the doors crashed open. It was Luke, sweating, disheveled, wide-eyed.
12:19Nina! It's really you! I searched the whole city for you!
12:24Then I saw the news. You're marrying Derek Sterling?
12:28Why are you here? Panic flashed across his face.
12:32Nina, you can't marry him! You love me, don't you?
12:37Nina, tell me you still love me!
12:40You? You have no right to talk about love, Luke.
12:44You played me for three years! You treated me like an idiot!
12:49I am not your toy! My feelings were never a joke!
12:53Luke collapsed into a velvet vanity chair.
12:56Nina, it wasn't like that! I fell for you! I swear I did!
13:00But the guys, they kept laughing at me. They said my taste was trash.
13:05I was stupid. I was a coward.
13:07Confused? I drained the trust fund my grandma left me.
13:11I sold my late mom's vintage Porsche.
13:13You let your thugs crush my cat to death!
13:15You made me wrap 999 roses for Lynn!
13:18You made me bleed just to entertain yourself!
13:20Was that just your ego, too?!
13:22All the blood drained from Luke's face.
13:25No! I didn't order those! I swear, Nina, that wasn't me!
13:32Lynn must've…
13:33Mr. Cole, step away from my wife.
13:37You're Derek Sterling? She's not marrying you! She loves me!
13:41Luke turned back to me and sobbed.
13:43Nina, please! Listen to me! I'll give you everything!
13:47I'll transfer all my assets to you! Just give me one more chance!
13:51You're so arrogant, Luke.
13:53The second I found out you lied, I stopped loving you.
13:58Luke grabbed the edge of the vanity table and started dry heaving.
14:02His knuckles were turning blue.
14:04The estate butler rushed in, looking anxious.
14:06Sir, the guests are seated.
14:09Get him out of here.
14:11Luke kicked and screamed, thrashing and shouting.
14:13The wedding march rose from the hall outside.
14:17Derek adjusted the pearl tiara in my hair.
14:20His warm breath brushing against my ear.
14:22Trust me, Nina.
14:23I will never, ever be like him.
14:26I looked at our reflection in the vanity mirror.
14:28The diamonds on my dress caught the light, sparkling in time with my racing heartbeat.
14:33I know.
14:34The doors opened.
14:35Behind me, Luke's agonizing screams were completely swallowed by the music.
14:41And beside me, Derek's hand stayed firmly on my waist.
14:44I was stepping into the light, and I was never looking back.
14:48The wedding was over.
14:49When we finally got to our bedroom, Derek was tipsy.
14:52Are you okay?
14:53I asked nervously.
14:56Derek suddenly laughed.
14:57He dropped the pillow and pulled me into a tight hug.
15:00Nina, why don't you remember me?
15:02His voice was muffled.
15:04My blood ran cold.
15:05Seventeen years old.
15:07A rainy night.
15:08A boy shielded me from flying glass in a dark alley.
15:10Blood dripped from his brow onto my hand.
15:13The scar.
15:13I murmured, my fingers unconsciously tracing the tiny scar on Derek's eyebrow.
15:18Every Wednesday at 3pm, the white roses.
15:22Derek whispered.
15:23Every night, making sure you walked up the stairs safely before I drove home.
15:27The mystery customer who kept my shop afloat.
15:29The stranger in the shadows.
15:31Who protected me when Luke wasn't around.
15:34It was him.
15:35It had always been him.
15:36Derek.
15:37How long have you been in love with me?
15:39Derek's body stiffened.
15:41For years.
15:43Nina, when your father said you agreed to the marriage, it felt unreal.
15:46Will you let me take care of you for the rest of my life?
15:49I looked into his eyes, and felt myself drowning.
15:52I squeezed his hand back.
15:54Let's try.
15:55I told him, we didn't sleep in the same bed that night.
15:58But everything changed.
15:59It became a routine.
16:01Every morning before work, Derek would pull me into a tight hug.
16:05And every night before bed, I actually found myself waiting for his goodnight kiss on my cheek.
16:11Then, his company closed a massive project.
16:13He came home late, swaying slightly, reeking faintly of whiskey.
16:18I had to help him back to the bedroom.
16:20But the moment we fell onto the bed, he turned and caught himself above me.
16:24In the dark shadows of the room, his eyes were bright, sharp and completely focused.
16:28He didn't look drunk at all.
16:30He leaned in close, hesitating for a split second.
16:34Then, he softly pressed his lips to the corner of my mouth.
16:37When I didn't push him away, he immediately leaned in and captured my lips.
16:41His chest was heaving.
16:43I could feel his hot breath brushing against my skin.
16:45His voice was rough as he whispered.
16:47Nina, is this okay?
16:49I didn't answer him with words.
16:51I just reached up and cupped his face.
16:53And pulled him back down to me.
16:55Weeks passed.
16:56I learned what it truly meant to be worshipped.
16:58To be loved without a single lie.
17:00Then, two months later, my phone rang.
17:03It was Luke's grandfather, begging me to visit the hospital.
17:06Luke had found out Lynn staged the rose order.
17:08He exiled her.
17:09He spent his days drinking himself into a coma.
17:13Until a drunk driver crashed both his legs.
17:15Outside a bar, the doctor said they might have to amputate.
17:19Nina, I know he hurt you.
17:21Grandfather sobbed.
17:22But he refuses treatment.
17:24He thinks this is his punishment for breaking your heart.
17:27Please, just come talk to him.
17:29I glanced back at Derek.
17:30I'm sorry Mr. Cole, I won't be coming.
17:32I've already moved on.
17:34I don't want to go back to the past.
17:36After hanging up, I walked over to the couch and wrapped my arms around Derek's neck.
17:42Who was that?
17:42He asked.
17:43Nobody important.
17:45I smiled against his lips.
17:46Derek, I love you.
17:47You're going to be the right person.
17:48I told you.
17:48I was waiting for you.
17:48If you're waiting for me.
