00:00For six months, I've dreamed of the same man every night.
00:08And after I got a boyfriend, he said to me,
00:12Break up with him, will you?
00:18I didn't want to say no at all, but I still did.
00:22Then Ryan took me home to meet his family,
00:25and I saw a man who took my breath away.
00:27Why does he look exactly like my dream man?
00:30Brother.
00:31Wait, he's my boyfriend Ryan's brother?
00:35I always keep dreaming of a stranger.
00:38Every night, we're tangled in desire.
00:40But every dawn, I wake up unable to remember his name.
00:44Six months later, I finally found him.
00:47Good news, he's just as breathtaking as in my dreams.
00:51Bad news, he's my boyfriend's billionaire brother.
00:54Ryan Cole told me to come home with him to meet his parents.
00:58Dress nice and something sexy?
01:01It's winter.
01:03Sexy isn't happening.
01:06You got a problem with that?
01:07So we can break up?
01:09He knew I would never break up with him.
01:11I was quiet for a moment.
01:13I don't have money for new clothes.
01:17He transferred $50,000 to my account.
01:24Yeah, bringing her home.
01:25I bet Vic must lose her mind.
01:27Would you think I'd actually like this girl?
01:30She's just a prop to make Viv jealous.
01:33My family's opinion?
01:34Viv and I loved four years without meeting each other's parents.
01:37One month with this girl, and I'm already introducing her?
01:39I'm sure Viv will go crazy when she finds out.
01:41Don't worry, my brother holds all the power in our Valentino family.
01:44As for her, she's exactly the kind of woman my brother can't stand.
01:48A month ago, Ryan suddenly asked me to be his girlfriend.
01:52Everyone on campus knew Ryan had just broken up with his first love.
01:56Coming to me now meant one of two things.
01:59Rebound or entertainment.
02:01Either way, he has no sincere feelings for me at all.
02:05But I still said yes, because I needed the money.
02:08To cover my mother's surgery costs, I'd been working hard.
02:12Then, her condition got worse, and I couldn't wait anymore.
02:15And right at that moment, Ryan confessed me to be with him.
02:19The Valentino family owned Valentino Industries, a traded empire.
02:24His billionaire brother runs the entire empire.
02:27A wealthy playboy like Ryan who speeds around in supercars and bottle service.
02:32I, just picking up the loose change he throws around, would cover mom's entire surgery bill.
02:38But Ryan didn't know any of that.
02:40He thought I was crazy about him.
02:43Ryan booked first class.
02:45The moment we boarded, he forbade me from disturbing him.
02:48I was asleep in minutes.
02:50Then, something shifted.
02:57Again?
02:59How many times this month?
03:01Still not enough?
03:04You look beautiful today.
03:06Where are you going?
03:08To my boyfriend's family home.
03:11You have a boyfriend?
03:22Break up with him, will you?
03:25No.
03:26Why?
03:27Where did I fall short?
03:28Enough.
03:28More than enough.
03:30But, who stays forever with a man from a dream?
03:33When you wake up, there's nothing left.
03:35The landing jolt pulled me back.
03:38Ivy, are you feeling hot?
03:41I'm fine.
03:43About six months ago, this man began appearing in my dreams out of thin air.
03:47At first, they were ordinary dreams.
03:50Until one night, I realized he wasn't just exactly my type.
03:55And I could no longer hold back my desires.
04:01Every time I tried to ask his name, it would all slip my mind the second I woke up.
04:09I'd quietly seen a doctor about it.
04:11It's just dreaming.
04:13Young people run hot.
04:14Perfectly normal.
04:16I had, after all.
04:18Never so much as held a man's hand in real life.
04:20Ryan despised me, and I had my own agenda.
04:24Your face is flushed.
04:26A little warm.
04:27Don't tell me you've never been on a plane.
04:29First time, actually.
04:30Thank you for the experience.
04:33Thanks.
04:33At baggage claim, Ryan drifted away to take a call.
04:38Did you guys meet up with Viv?
04:40Alright, we'll see you in a few days.
04:42Girlfriend, I'm breaking up with her right after.
04:44He spotted me coming closer and hung up fast.
04:47Ivy, a heads up.
04:49Yeah?
04:51In my family, mom and dad are easygoing, but be careful around my brother.
04:57Why?
04:57Is he scary?
05:00Ryan looked at me strangely.
05:03He's got a temper.
05:05Dominant.
05:05In the company, at home, what he says goes.
05:09My parents are actually a little scared of him.
05:11Just be careful.
05:12Noted.
05:16Aren't you excited?
05:17Coming home with me?
05:18Thrilled.
05:19But I was almost at my goal now.
05:21I couldn't be bothered to act any longer.
05:23A car met us and drove us to the Valentino estate.
05:31Welcome, dear.
05:33Welcome.
05:36Until dinner, Ethan came home.
05:39Ryan Swagger died instantly.
05:41Brother.
05:43Hey.
05:44Rough trip?
05:45It's him.
05:46The man I dream of every night.
05:50Ethan, this is my girlfriend, Ivy.
05:53Welcome.
05:55He was exactly as I dreamed.
05:58He has narrow double eyelids, narrow at the front, and slightly wider toward the corners.
06:03It made his whole face look cold and ruthless.
06:06Of course he doesn't know me.
06:08It was only ever my dream.
06:10My nantial section and wolf him straight into my dreams.
06:14During dinner, the conversation drifted to me.
06:17Ivy, Ryan tells us you've never dated anyone before.
06:22That's right.
06:23Ryan is my first.
06:26A girl as lovely as you and no one snatched you up?
06:29I don't believe it.
06:31I swallowed carefully and let my eyes drift toward Ethan.
06:35He was cutting his steak as if he hadn't heard a thing.
06:38Honestly, I feel so lucky to meet Ryan.
06:41He is practically campus royalty.
06:43I've looked up to him ever since my freshman year.
06:48Our Ryan has his rough edges, but he's got a good heart underneath.
06:53Would you take good care of him?
06:55Of course.
06:56I really do like him.
06:58No, I don't.
06:59I only care about the check you'll write at the end of this visit.
07:02Something brushed over me.
07:04A weight, like a gaze.
07:06I glanced up instinctively.
07:08Ethan was on his phone, not even glancing at me.
07:11Had I imagined it?
07:12A few days passed at the Valentino estate, and I was almost used to it.
07:17Ethan was rarely home.
07:18When we did cross paths, he gave me a polite, distant nod.
07:22The dream was mine alone.
07:25The day to meet Viv was approaching.
07:28Hey, wear this.
07:31Are you Sue?
07:32A silk slip dress?
07:33Summer weight?
07:34Sure.
07:35Wear those clothes and take photos with me.
07:36I was still shivering.
07:38He insisted on taking perfect couple photos to make his first love jealous.
07:43The next morning, I woke up with full fever.
07:46She has to get sick now.
07:48She better not embarrass me when I meet Vivi in a couple days.
07:51You got any other girls to accompany us?
07:53Just in case.
07:54I was half delirious.
07:56My throat was raw, so I dragged myself up to get water.
08:00I looked up.
08:01Ethan was inside.
08:03Ryan was out.
08:04His parents were running errands.
08:06Ethan was supposed to be at the office.
08:08I'm dreaming again.
08:10If it's just a dream, then it's easy.
08:14I stumbled across the hall and buried my face in his chest.
08:18I don't feel well.
08:20Did you take your medicine?
08:22Yes.
08:24Rest then.
08:28I met someone today.
08:29He looks exactly like you.
08:32Is that so?
08:33But I know he's not you.
08:36How did you know?
08:37The moment I see that mole on your colivone, I know I'm asleep.
08:41That mole was familiar to me.
08:44In dreams, I'd nodded countless times.
08:47Didn't you say you like him?
08:49What?
08:50You said you really like Ryan.
08:54How do you know Ryan?
09:00Ivy.
09:02Six months of asking in dreams and I finally have it.
09:06Your name.
09:07Ethan?
09:08Have you seen Ivy?
09:11Why is he back?
09:13Ethan?
09:14I thought I heard her voice.
09:15Are you in there?
09:17Nobody?
09:18All right, I'm coming in.
09:20Oh, hey.
09:21You are here.
09:22Hey.
09:22When did you get back?
09:24A couple hours ago.
09:25Felt bad leaving her alone.
09:28Hey, Ethan.
09:29I checked the bedroom and Ivory's wasn't there.
09:31You seen her?
09:32No.
09:33Maybe the bathroom.
09:35I'll wait.
09:35Ryan dropped onto the couch and pulled out his phone.
09:38He'd barely opened his game when his nose wrinkled.
09:41Ethan, why does your study smell like perfume?
09:44Scented candle.
09:46You hate those.
09:47What happened to you?
09:49Ryan still wasn't suspicious.
09:51But he stood up to look for it.
09:58Leave.
09:59What?
10:00Take Nika to the groomer.
10:02That's Mrs. Liu's job.
10:04Are you going or not?
10:06Keep the change.
10:08Deal.
10:09He'll smell like a five-star hotel.
10:14When the estate went quiet again, I crawled out from under the desk.
10:20You had the same dream.
10:22It appears so.
10:24That's impossible.
10:25Can we compare timelines?
10:27First time, August 10th.
10:28You used me as your emotional garbage disposal and talked for two hours.
10:32Second time.
10:33Sixth time, you said, hey, let me see the abs.
10:37Seventh time, September.
10:39Things shifted between us.
10:41Stop!
10:42I get it.
10:43The information overload, combined with the fever, I grabbed the desk before my knees gave out.
10:49Don't think about it now.
10:50Rest.
10:53He carried me back to my room.
10:55In the hallway, we walked directly into Mrs. Liu.
10:58Her eyes went wide.
10:59Sir, is that...
11:01Is that Miss Ivey?
11:05Ethan said evenly.
11:06You know what to do.
11:08Oh, goodness.
11:08My eyes aren't what they used to be.
11:10Can't see a thing anymore.
11:11Mrs. Liu is discreet.
11:12She won't say a word.
11:13Get some rest.
11:14I was too exhausted to argue.
11:18That evening, Ryan came back.
11:19Be functional in two days.
11:21I need you presentable when we see Viv.
11:23Wait.
11:24That smell?
11:25Ethan's study has that same candle.
11:26I actually like it.
11:28Ethan's gone on a work trip.
11:29Finally get a few days of breathing room.
11:31He left?
11:32Yeah.
11:32Around noon.
11:34By New Year's Day.
11:35So this is the girl you brought to make Viv jelly?
11:37Bro, are you blind?
11:38She's prettier than Vivaline.
11:39You're the blind one.
11:40Don't compare them.
11:41Does she know?
11:42Viv might come after her tonight.
11:43Why would I warn her?
11:44The harder Viv comes for her, the more it proves she's still hung up on me.
11:47Nobody goes home sober tonight!
11:49Careful, Ryan.
11:50Your brother finds out.
11:51He'll bury you.
11:51Ethan's got his own plans tonight.
11:53He's at a blind date.
11:54My scattered thoughts suddenly sharpened.
11:59Ethan, CEO of Valentino Industries.
12:03Powerful.
12:04Brilliant.
12:05Relentlessly controlled.
12:07He's been a bachelor forever.
12:08No idea what made him agree this time.
12:10Apparently she's gorgeous, and the families are a perfect match.
12:14Does this mean we're getting a future Mrs. Cole?
12:17The door to their private room swung open.
12:20Vivian's here!
12:21Welcome back, campus queen!
12:22Ryan's first love was stunning.
12:27Can garbage come in in a place like this?
12:30I went torn at about ton.
12:32I volunteered to go wash the fruit knives.
12:35My mind was running the numbers.
12:37Ryan threw money around without thinking twice.
12:40I was still working out the words when Vivian and her group materialized behind me.
12:45Did you just roll your eyes at me?
12:47No.
12:48Liar, we all saw it!
12:49We did.
12:50You're imagining things.
12:51I couldn't even be bothered to look at you.
12:53Why would I roll my eyes?
12:55This dress screams Ryan's charity case?
12:56His taste is tragically bad.
12:58Tonight you're going to find out exactly who you messed with.
13:00I reached out and grabbed a fistful of Vivian's hair.
13:03One smooth pivot, and I had her bent over the sink.
13:06But, I need you to get him a can of here.
13:19Now I see it.
13:21Ryan really does have bad taste.
13:24Go find Ryan if you're upset.
13:26Don't come at me.
13:27You're exactly the kind of woman who turns a garbage man into a trophy.
13:31That's your problem, not mine.
13:35Your girlfriend attacked me!
13:37That doesn't sound like Ivy.
13:38Ryan, you didn't see her hold me under the faucet?
13:40We all saw it.
13:42Your ex-girlfriend just got attacked and you're going to defend her?
13:44Ivy, apologize.
13:47Hilarious.
14:00I planted one heel between his legs.
14:03Time to settle our tab, sweetheart.
14:06You used me to make your ex jealous fine.
14:09I was using you too.
14:10We're even.
14:10But as of right now, we're done.
14:13Don't come near me again.
14:14What do you mean, using you too?
14:16Using you too?
14:17It means exactly what it sounds like.
14:19Did you sleep through English class?
14:25Ivy, do you not like me?
14:29Something flickered across Ryan's face.
14:32Confusion.
14:33Correct.
14:34I actively dislike you.
14:36That's impossible.
14:37You were always so...
14:42A beat.
14:43He realized the blade was embedded in the couch cushion beside him, not in him.
14:48Even this trip, it was about your family's money.
14:51Stop flattering yourself.
14:55I turned.
14:56Ethan Cole stood in the doorway.
14:58He had heard everything.
15:00The light was dim.
15:01I couldn't read his face.
15:06Then he went to Ryan.
15:08Ryan looked stunned, like he hadn't quite landed yet.
15:12You're finished.
15:14Cole hates gold dadders.
15:16Every woman who's ever thrown herself at him has regretted it.
15:20The dream was a dream.
15:22I set his jacket on a chair and walked out.
15:25I left my phone's SIM card behind and took the first train home.
15:28Months passed.
15:29I stayed home.
15:30Working.
15:31Caring for my mother.
15:34No day.
15:35She hadn't come back at all.
15:37I didn't understand it.
15:38Some kind of masochism?
15:40It didn't matter.
15:41Our paths wouldn't cross again.
15:42As for Ethan, I never dreamed of him again.
15:45Our company had just been acquired by Cole Industries.
15:48A senior executive is coming personally to oversee the transition.
15:51I didn't think much of it.
15:53Until the elevator.
15:54Ethan Cole was already inside.
15:56He was surrounded by senior management.
15:58The whole executive floor descending on him at once.
16:02That face.
16:03Sharp.
16:04Unreadable.
16:05A face that had appeared in my dreams more times than I could count.
16:09Little Quinn, why don't you take the next one?
16:12There's room.
16:13Come in.
16:15I was already stepping back.
16:17Gladly.
16:18The elevator was suffocating.
16:20I was pressed almost against Ethan's side.
16:23Mr. Cole, this is Ivy Quinn from our design team.
16:26Top player university graduate.
16:28Very talented.
16:29Ethan didn't respond to that.
16:31You lost weight.
16:33The observation landed without warning.
16:36Every director in the elevator blinked.
16:38At lunch, Ethan demonstrated exactly how far his resources could reach.
16:43The food was too good.
16:45Ingredients I couldn't afford.
16:46I wrapped the sides carefully.
16:48I'd bring them home to my mother.
16:50By mid-afternoon, the cramps hit.
16:52The moment the clock struck five, I was the first one in the elevator.
16:58A hand shot through the closing doors before they sealed.
17:02Ivy Quinn, can we talk?
17:04Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting in the back of a Rolls Royce.
17:08Ethan had dismissed the driver.
17:10He drove himself.
17:13Food wasn't to your liking?
17:16Is there something you needed, Mr. Cole?
17:18If this is about Ryan, about some kind of apology, that's never happening.
17:23Not what I said.
17:24I just think that two people who've shared the same dream for six months deserve one honest conversation.
17:29There's nothing to say.
17:30I'm a gold digger, you're coal industries, we have nothing in common.
17:33I wouldn't be so sure.
17:35Your company was a weak acquisition.
17:37Bad margins, outdated infrastructure.
17:40I paid tens of millions for it.
17:42Ask yourself why.
17:43Before I could answer, a wave of pain bent me forward.
17:50Do you need a hospital?
17:52No.
17:54The light ahead turned red.
17:57He reached into the center console.
18:01Poured hot water from a thermos into its cap.
18:05And held it out.
18:07Mr. Cole, that's your personal cup.
18:10I don't mind.
18:11Do you?
18:12So this is how you operate.
18:13A fiancé lined up at home, a new prospect in the car, and a dream girl on the side for
18:18variety?
18:19And a be-him-probably-sarvant fiancé?
18:22I don't have a fiancé.
18:24You went on a blind date!
18:26Is that what's bothering you?
18:28I looked away.
18:30The woman at the blind date has business links to my family.
18:32I had no choice.
18:34But the moment I sat down, I told her I was already in love with someone else.
18:38The entire dinner was about work.
18:40Nothing else.
18:41Ethan, what is the point of this conversation?
18:44You like money.
18:46I have more than Ryan.
18:48And I'm cleaner than he is.
18:50I've never been in a relationship.
18:52Ivy, consider me.
18:54I was fairly certain Ethan Cole had lost his mind.
18:58This kind of directness was not something I had prepared for.
19:02And dragging his own brother in the process?
19:08I love money.
19:09I think it's more reliable than feelings.
19:12Perfect.
19:13No one has more of it than I do.
19:15I need someone in good shape.
19:16Lean muscle.
19:18Not too much.
19:19Not too little.
19:20I believe I meet that standard.
19:22You've confirmed it yourself.
19:24Repeatedly.
19:24In considerable detail.
19:27He'd been standing in the doorway the night of the reunion.
19:30He heard everything.
19:31When he realized Ryan and I had been performing, that there were no real feelings between us,
19:36he felt something that surprised him.
19:38Relief.
19:38He'd planned to deal with Ryan's mess first, then find me.
19:42But I was already gone when he turned around.
19:44He couldn't reach me.
19:46Neither could Ryan.
19:52He spent months looking, quietly, carefully.
19:55He had the network, and the resources, but he didn't want to come in like a force of nature
20:00and give me reason to disappear again.
20:02If she left, she had her reasons.
20:04I just have to make myself worth finding.
20:07He believed that, so he found me slowly.
20:10Then he asked, again, if I would consider him.
20:13I didn't hesitate.
20:14Yes.
20:16But one condition.
20:19Name it.
20:20I'm not ready to go public.
20:22I want to keep my career my own.
20:24Built on my work, not on who I am seeing.
20:26The moment people find out about us, everything I've earned will be credited to you.
20:31I won't allow that.
20:36Agreed to everything.
20:37But sometimes, this man was a problem.
20:40Like during the company-wide meeting.
20:42The very picture of restrained authority.
20:46We are in the middle of a meeting.
20:48You don't like it?
20:53Oh, for the love of...
20:55Of course I liked it.
20:59Trouble came two weeks later.
21:04Someone knocked on my apartment door.
21:07I didn't check the peephole.
21:08I opened it.
21:11Ryan Cole stood in the hall, holding an enormous bouquet ivy.
21:17Ivy, I finally found you.
21:20The delight on his face was in direct proportion to my horror.
21:24I tracked down your middle school friend.
21:26She gave me your address.
21:27Is there something you need?
21:29A rare expression crossed Ryan's usually careless face.
21:32I want us to start over.
21:34I stared at him.
21:35Is bluntness a Cole family trait?
21:40Delivery?
21:41The brothers looked at each other.
21:43The world held its breath.
21:45Ethan.
21:47Why are you here?
21:50Valid question.
21:52Why are you here, Ethan?
21:55Because he'd spent the night and enthusiastically demonstrated what the photo had only hinted at.
22:01My mind moved fast.
22:04He came to collect a file.
22:06What?
22:08Mr. Cole is my boss now.
22:10He needed documents.
22:11He came personally.
22:13Where's his assistant?
22:14On leave.
22:16Ethan looked at me.
22:17Something flickered in his expression.
22:19Faint.
22:19Wounded.
22:23Everything's in there.
22:24You can go now.
22:25And take your brother with you.
22:28Why do I feel like the trash being put out?
22:30Ivy, I know I treated you badly.
22:32I've thought about it every day since you left.
22:35I cut things off with my ex.
22:37Completely.
22:38I want to do this properly this time, I swear.
22:40Give me one more chance.
22:42No.
22:44Why not?
22:45Why not?
22:48Because I never liked you.
22:52Ryan showed up at the office the next day.
22:55The entire company knew he was there to win me back.
22:59This was going to be a problem.
23:02He sent afternoon snacks.
23:11I want to work.
23:12Please stop disrupting my life.
23:14Okay.
23:15I'll tone it down.
23:16It's not about tone.
23:17Ryan, go back to New York.
23:19Live your life.
23:20Even if you stayed forever, my answer wouldn't change.
23:22I'm not leaving.
23:24Even if you don't want me, I'm staying.
23:28Ivy, after you left, I went through a long stretch of actually thinking about what I'd
23:31done.
23:32I want to make it right.
23:33I want to be good to you.
23:34I don't need you to make anything right.
23:37Everything you're doing right now is stepping directly on every single nerve I have.
23:40It's making me dislike you more, not less.
23:43He didn't notice Ethan slip in the moment he was gone.
23:47I want to make it right.
23:48So, we haven't.
23:50You
