Disguised As A Man, Pregnant By My Rival

Short filmTranscript
00:00As the family's heir, I've been disguised as a man.
00:03I planned everything, including sleeping with my enemy.
00:08I'm Talia Papanos.
00:10For 23 years, I was Theo, heir to a shipping empire,
00:15the perfect grandson, the ultimate businessman.
00:19I wore the man's mask well.
00:21My grandfather forced me to produce an heir,
00:23or he would strip me of everything immediately.
00:26I cannot marry, and I cannot reveal my identity.
00:30The only way out is to find a man to get me pregnant.
00:35I chose my sworn enemy, Zev Stavros.
00:39He has top-tier genes and extraordinary ability.
00:43Most importantly, our families have been bitter enemies for a century.
00:48He would never suspect that I would use him.
00:51But that night, at the Apocrys Festival, I was the hunter.
00:55And he was the prey.
00:57That night, between wine, drums, and the city's wild celebration,
01:02we did what the curse forbade.
01:04We slept together.
01:06I woke up in a stranger's room,
01:08staring at the most infuriating man in the Aegean.
01:12I didn't panic.
01:14I reacted like a proper Papanos.
01:17Dressed in 45 seconds, grabbed my wallet,
01:20left 50 euros on the nightstand as payment for this pregnancy plan.
01:24One month later, I got my test result.
01:27Positive.
01:28I'd done it!
01:29I was pregnant with my enemy's child.
01:33I felt nothing but huge satisfaction.
01:36I'd lived by my family's rules.
01:39Everything was going exactly as I'd planned.
01:43But I'd underestimated Zephyr.
01:45He was known for being cold and uninterested in women.
01:49Rumors even said he was gay.
01:50He never gave it a look.
01:52I thought he'd never chase any woman.
01:55But this time, he checked the 50 euros I'd left.
01:59And he lost his mind searching for me.
02:02Pull up the guest list.
02:03He pulled the festival footage, got the guest list,
02:07interrogated everyone there.
02:08He was going to find the woman who'd slept with him,
02:12humiliated him, and vanished.
02:14He felt challenged.
02:16For the first time, I panicked.
02:19My plan had been perfect,
02:20but I never thought he'd hunt me like this.
02:23I called Andreas, my cousin.
02:26I need to get out of Athens.
02:27The only royal connected person I trust.
02:31Is this about Zephan Stavros?
02:32He's been to my off twice this week,
02:34asking super specific questions about the festival.
02:36Thamia, what did you do exactly?
02:38I slept him and left some money.
02:41Are you insane?
02:42You shall not lay a hand on him, no matter what.
02:45Grandpa will kill you.
02:48Leave it and keep your mouth shut.
02:51I fled to Thessaloniki that same night.
02:54I hid my true identity.
02:55I cut off all contact.
02:57I waited to give birth.
03:01Zeph's hunt grew more intense by the day.
03:03He even tracked down the private cabin records from that night.
03:06He was closing in.
03:08Step by step.
03:10My cousin sent me a secret message.
03:12I hid in a strange city.
03:15I dared not turn on my phone,
03:17not leave a single trace.
03:19I wasn't afraid of his hatred.
03:20I was afraid he would destroy everything
03:23I'd worked so hard to gain.
03:25I kept telling myself,
03:27I only borrowed his seed.
03:28I gave birth to a son at a private clinic.
03:31I named him Nico.
03:32When the nurse put him in my arms,
03:34my heart dropped.
03:36He looked exactly like Zephyr.
03:39Even that cold, arrogant look was identical.
03:44He was living proof.
03:45Worse, just three minutes old,
03:48he stared at me like I'd made the biggest mistake of my life.
03:53I told myself I could hide him forever,
03:56but I knew the truth.
03:58Paper can never wrap fire.
03:59I hid for two full years.
04:03Then my family fell into chaos.
04:05My grandfather forced me to come back and run things.
04:08I had no choice.
04:10I took Nico and returned to Athens.
04:13I covered my tracks and got ready.
04:15I thought I could keep being my heir and live in peace.
04:19But fate didn't give me a break.
04:21Only 40 minutes after I got home,
04:23He's here.
04:24Zev's house is at the door.
04:26My blood turned to ice.
04:28My whole body went cold.
04:31What was meant to find me,
04:33finally found me.
04:35Zev walked toward me,
04:37step by step.
04:38His overwhelming presence crushed the air out of my lungs.
04:42Where did this child come from?
04:45He was left by a stranger.
04:47She's gone.
04:50A stranger?
04:51His fingertips brushed Nico's face.
04:55This boy looks exactly like me.
04:57Do you take me for a fool?
04:58Children look like everyone.
05:00It's a normal stage.
05:01Very common.
05:01That is not a thing.
05:03It's 100% a thing.
05:04I can send you the research.
05:07Nico, that little traitor.
05:11Don't dare.
05:16His face lighting up.
05:18I want to be his godfather.
05:20Absolutely not.
05:21He reached for me.
05:22He reaches for everything.
05:23Last Tuesday, he tried to be friends with a parking meter.
05:25I could have dropped him in the sea.
05:28After I turned him down flat,
05:30Zev went into full pursuit mode.
05:32Every morning at 7 sharp,
05:34he showed up at my door.
05:36Never late.
05:37He waited two hours in line just to buy my favorite coffee.
05:40He just played with Nico.
05:42Fixed my cabinets.
05:44One day, my secretary said to me,
05:46something, it's about Zev.
05:47What did he do now?
05:49He's been snooping around your room at the mansion.
05:51Looking for what?
05:52I think maybe women's stuff.
05:54And he keeps asking the staff about your daily habits nonstop.
05:58Her words sent chills down my spine.
06:00From that day, I couldn't bear him anymore.
06:03Get out!
06:03I'm sick of you snooping around my life.
06:05Get the hell out of my house!
06:06I'm his father figure.
06:08I have the right to take care of him.
06:11Rumors exploded outside.
06:12Everyone whispered,
06:14the rival heir is clinging to the family's successor every single day.
06:19Something seriously weird between them.
06:22And Nico?
06:23He helped Zev every single day.
06:26They're definitely father and son.
06:28What a pair.
06:30That morning, Zev set down his coffee.
06:33His eyes went cold.
06:35No more games.
06:36No more hints.
06:37He slammed a pile of papers on the table.
06:40I've searched every corner of Thessaloniki.
06:42The woman you made up?
06:43She never existed.
06:44The banquet was in February.
06:46You left Athens in March.
06:48Two years later, you came back.
06:49With a two-year-old son.
06:51On Carnival Night, only you and I went into the private area.
06:54Everyone checked in as mail.
06:55No woman entered.
06:56Not a single one.
06:59Ask yourself.
07:01You're the one who slept with her.
07:02What's the point of asking me?
07:04Why are you disturbing me all the time?
07:06Every lie, every disguise.
07:08I couldn't pay the price.
07:09Theo, who the hell are you?
07:14Zev was totally out of patience.
07:16He stirred up trouble just to catch me off guard.
07:20Every single move was planned.
07:22Whether it was a business dinner, a public event, or outside the company,
07:26he'd lean in close, didn't care who saw.
07:29The paparazzi were lying in wait.
07:32They snapped photos nonstop.
07:34Him with his arm around me, leaning in to whisper.
07:37My panicky face as I tried to pull away.
07:40By nightfall, those photos were everywhere.
07:44Everyone talked.
07:45Rumors spread like wildfire.
07:47Are you crazy?
07:48What the hell are these pictures?
07:49Grandpa, listen to me.
07:50It's a misunderstanding.
07:51Zev set me up.
07:52I don't care about the details.
07:53Cut ties with him now.
07:55Keep this up, and you'll ruin our family's name for good.
07:57We are a shipping empire, not a joke for the tablets.
08:00I was stuck in the spotlight.
08:03No escape.
08:03No fight back.
08:05If I tried to explain, I'd blow my cover on the spot.
08:08Zev's plan was clear.
08:10Corner me until I had no choice.
08:13Make me take off my male disguise.
08:15Admit who I really was.
08:17Admit everything between us.
08:19Driven mad by his persecution, I fought back.
08:23Crazily.
08:24I found a female celebrity to be my date.
08:26We were always seen together.
08:28Going to movies, having dinners, and showing up at events.
08:32Just like today.
08:34I like women, Zev.
08:36Stop pestering me.
08:37And stay away from me.
08:38This made Zev a little bit upset.
08:41I saw you making out with your boyfriend on the beach just last week.
08:44How come you got a new one so fast?
08:46Elena, are you two-timing?
08:47Julie, are you two-timing?
08:48Who's that guy on the beach?
08:49Theo, weren't you and Zev getting along like a house on fire just a while ago?
08:52Then what's with?
08:53Are you and Zev being serious?
08:54Are you for gay?
08:56Then what's with?
08:57Are you and Zev being serious?
08:58Are you gay?
08:59Your feelings for Theo.
09:02No denial.
09:03No explanation.
09:04Next second, he stepped forward.
09:07Pulled me into his arms.
09:09Late one night, I'd just taken off my male clothes.
09:13Put on my night skirt, ready to relax for a minute.
09:16Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
09:18Frantically.
09:18I panicked, grabbed a thick coat, wrapped myself up tight, then opened the door.
09:24Zev pushed in without a word.
09:26His sharp eyes scanned my room, my bed, even noticed the edge of my coat.
09:31What were you hiding just now?
09:33Why are you so panicked?
09:35It has nothing to do with you.
09:37Get out of my house.
09:38He suddenly reached out, trying to lift my coat.
09:41I was terrified.
09:43Pushed him away, hard.
09:45I think I've completely guessed it.
09:48Only one second away, my female identity would be exposed completely.
09:54That morning, something happened.
09:57Something that broke me completely.
09:59Zev walked in.
10:00Nico looked at him, then shouted clearly two words.
10:05Daddy!
10:07My mind went completely blank.
10:10Daddy!
10:11Zev trembled all over, pulled Nico into his arms.
10:15His voice shook uncontrollable.
10:18Say it again.
10:20Daddy!
10:21I rushed over to stop him, but it was too late.
10:24His eyes were full of certainty.
10:27The child recognizes me.
10:29How long are you going to keep hiding?
10:31What I'd feared most, what I'd worried about, day and night, it finally happened.
10:37Zev slammed the evidence down on the table.
10:39Last chance.
10:40Admit it yourself, or I'll tell the whole world that Theo Papenos is not a man.
10:46You're Thaddeus.
10:49You're crazy.
10:50I don't know what you're talking about, don't you?
10:52When I was 17, I saw you at that gala, wearing a suit, acting like the air everyone feared.
10:56I hated that I couldn't stop thinking about you.
10:57I hated even more that I thought I was gay for wanting my enemy.
10:59Then you came back to Greece.
11:01I dug, I investigated, I found out the truth.
11:04You're a woman.
11:04I wasn't broken, I was just obsessed with you.
11:07My breath caught all his madness, his chase, his fixation.
11:11I've waited two years to find you.
11:14Seven years to stop hating myself for wanting you.
11:17I'm not waiting anymore.
11:18It was me, the festival, the night, the baby.
11:22All of it was me.
11:23I just needed an heir.
11:25I know.
11:26I know you used me, and I still can't let you go.
11:29They're here.
11:30Both grandfathers.
11:31With everyone.
11:32They're downstairs.
11:33The front door crashed open.
11:36Members of both families poured in.
11:39You ungrateful girl.
11:40I raised you to pretend to be a man for 23 years to protect our empire.
11:43And you bet it our enemy had his child?
11:44You're stripped of everything.
11:46You disgrace to the Stavos name.
11:47She used you.
11:48Humiliated you.
11:49Break ties with her.
11:50Now.
11:51Or you face family punishment.
11:53I will never leave her.
11:54Nico is my son.
11:55Tharia is the person I've wanted since I was 17.
11:57Enough!
11:59Take him back.
12:00Whip him until he submits.
12:01Until he forgets that girl.
12:03Until he abandons that bastard child.
12:05Tharia!
12:06Watch Nico.
12:07Wait for me.
12:12Oak door of the punishment chamber slammed shut.
12:17His shirt torn off.
12:19His back bared for all the Stavros family to watch.
12:22His grandfather stepped forward.
12:24Whip in hand.
12:25Voice like ice.
12:27Have you forgotten we are sworn enemies?
12:29You would go against everyone.
12:32To be with the enemy?
12:33His gaze unyielding.
12:35I haven't forgotten.
12:36And I will still choose her.
12:38Blood bloomed bright red.
12:41Have you learned your lesson?
12:44I love her.
12:46I love her.
12:48Crack!
12:48Another brutal lash.
12:50Will you abandon her?
12:54Never.
13:06I'm not leaving them.
13:07He fainted, hanging from the ropes covered in blood.
13:10When he woke hours later, he was in his bedroom.
13:13Arya sat beside him, dabbing his wounds gently.
13:16She was the woman his family had chosen for him.
13:19Zev had never cared for anyone but Thalia.
13:21He'd never paid Arya any mind.
13:24In his half-conscious, Zev mumbled softly, over and over.
13:28Thathia.
13:29Don't go.
13:31Don't leave me.
13:33She'd never seen Thalia as a threat, because she'd thought Theo was a man.
13:38I will play the long game.
13:40I will play the long game.
13:41I will not lose.
13:48Zev, I love you.
13:49I've always loved you.
13:51I've been waiting for you.
13:52Can't you give me a chance?
13:53Get out.
13:55Get out.
13:58Arya stared at him, stunned, tears stinging her eyes.
14:02Zev, I just want to-
14:04Get out!
14:06Arya stood there, trembling uncontrollably.
14:08Her soft devotion turned into burning hatred.
14:12Thais Paponis.
14:13You stole him from me.
14:15You will pay for this with everything you have.
14:18Arya's hatred had turned fatal.
14:21I was a woman.
14:22The only woman Zev had ever loved.
14:25She lost all reason.
14:27She set a trap.
14:28Forged documents.
14:30Fake shipping records.
14:31Planted evidence of serious fraud.
14:34She meant to bury me forever.
14:36What she didn't know?
14:37Her scheme nearly dragged the entire Stavros family into ruin.
14:43The Stavros family also ran things off the books.
14:46Business that could never see the light of day.
14:48Arya's mess had put all of it at risk.
14:52The next morning, police arrived.
14:55Also the paparazzi.
14:57Theo Paponis, you're under arrest.
14:58Before I could speak, Zev stumbled forward.
15:02Bandages still wrapped around his whipped back.
15:06Everything was my doing.
15:08Charge me.
15:09Let her go.
15:11Zev, don't.
15:12You'll lose your family, your title, everything.
15:15I don't care.
15:16I'd take whipping, prison, anything for you.
15:20Arya stood in the corner, watching.
15:22He was willing to destroy himself.
15:25To save me.
15:26He would sacrifice his family, his future, his life.
15:31To save me.
15:36You're all fools.
15:37This man, he's not a man at all.
15:39Theo Paponis is a woman.
15:41Thalias Paponis.
15:43You're a woman.
15:44The whole world went silent.
15:46Family members stared in shock.
15:49My 23 years of disguise exposed in one second by the woman I'd never seen as a threat.
15:57Now you see?
15:58He's choosing to go to prison for a liar, a fake, a woman who hid behind a man's mask
16:03for years.
16:04Why?
16:04I loved him for years, but he never looked me.
16:07Theo, show your real face to the world.
16:10Arya ripped my wig clean off my head.
16:13She shouted my secret for everyone to hear.
16:16My world shattered.
16:18Cameras flashed.
16:20Police stared.
16:21Both families fell deadly silent.
16:24The scandal tore through our empires.
16:27Stocks crashed.
16:28Partners panicked.
16:30Our reputations were ruined.
16:32But every charge against me was fake.
16:35Forged papers.
16:37Planted records.
16:38All lies from Arya.
16:40None of it stood.
16:42I would not be arrested.
16:44I would not go to prison.
16:46The Stavros family was not so safe.
16:49Their off-the-books underworld businesses nearly came to light.
16:53In a frantic secret rush, they burned records, covered trails, and locked down all their dark
17:00operations before anything leaked.
17:02Within days, the storm calmed.
17:05All the blame fell on Arya.
17:07The Stavros grandfather called the whole family to witness.
17:11You have shamed us.
17:13You risked everything for petty jealousy.
17:16You are no longer one of us.
17:18They publicly denounced her.
17:21Humiliated her.
17:22Cast her out for good.
17:24No one defended her.
17:26No one cared.
17:27The fake charges were gone.
17:29The underground businesses were hidden again.
17:32The girl who started it all was gone.
17:35But I could never go back.
17:37Theo was dead.
17:39Only Thalia remained.
17:40My disguise was gone.
17:43Both our families were weakened by the scandal.
17:46Then, our long-waiting external enemy struck hard.
17:51They leaked old secrets.
17:53They seized our shipping routes.
17:55Shorted our stocks.
17:56Turned the public against both our empires.
17:59For the first time in a century, my grandfather and Zev's grandfather faced the same truth.
18:07If we kept fighting each other, we would both burn.
18:11At the emergency board meeting, I stood before everyone.
18:15No suit.
18:16No wig.
18:17No mask.
18:18I was no longer Theo.
18:20I was Thalia Papanos.
18:23The female heir.
18:25A mother.
18:26The woman Zev had chosen.
18:29Our feud is over.
18:31If we stand divided, we die.
18:36From today, Papanos and Stavidus stand as one.
18:40Zev stepped beside me.
18:43Anyone who comes for her, comes for me.
18:46Anyone who comes for our family, faces both of us.
18:50The room erupted.
18:52A hundred years of hatred ended in one minute.
18:55That night, under the Aegean stars, Zev took my hand.
18:59He pulled out the one thing he'd kept for two years.
19:03The 50 euro note I'd left on his nightstand.
19:07When I was 17, I fell for you in a suit.
19:12I thought I was gay-a-we-gen-it.
19:15And I hated myself for it.
19:17Then you came back, used me, left me with 50 euros, and disappeared.
19:23I chased you.
19:25I fought for you.
19:27I chose you over my family.
19:29That night, you paid me 50 euros to be the father of our child.
19:33Now, I give you my whole life to be your husband.
19:39Thasha, marry me.
19:41Yes.
19:42Yes, a thousand times yes.
19:44Nico ran over, small hands grabbing both of ours.
19:47Daddy!
19:48Mommy!
19:49What began as a revenge pregnancy plan became a love that ended a century of war.
19:55Because my husband is a small space before I come back.
