00:00While diving, I stumbled upon a watch by chance. I sold it for $5,000. With that money, I opened
00:07a
00:07flower 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
00:18trust fund my grandma left me. 100 grand. Gone. Second time, I sold my late mom's vintage Porsche.
00:25Another $250,000. And now, he wanted $1,000,000 more. I stared at my phone. One call to my
00:32billionaire father could fix everything. The father I swore I'd never speak to again.
00:37Then Luke's iPad lit up. Bro, how much fake debt this time? Luke, make it a million. Anything less.
00:44And that stupid florist will just pay it off again. Bro, damn. Easiest money ever. Plus free sex.
00:50I didn't cry. I felt sick. For three years. He'd been playing me for a fool. So I made the
00:57call.
00:58You still want me back? To take over the empire and marry your ruthless CEO? Fine. I'll do it.
01:03I'll be there in three days. Nina, I screwed up. I owe a million bucks.
01:07Luke played his part perfectly. But I wasn't looking at his face. I was looking at his wrist. It was
01:13a
01:13Richard Mill. At least two million. He was wearing a two million dollar watch. And I was still stupid
01:18enough. To consider taking out a loan for him. It's a fake baby. I'll buy you a real one soon.
01:23I promise. He thought I was clueless. Just some poor girl who couldn't tell the real thing from a
01:28fake. The iPad on the table lit up again. More messages popped up. Bro, how's she paying this
01:34time? Selling her house? Or selling herself? Bro too. If she starts selling herself, I want first dips.
01:41Three years together. Two fake debts. I paid them both. All I got in return were lies. He pulled me
01:47closer. Putting on that sweet smile again. Baby, help me this one last time. Pay this off and we'll
01:53get married. I promise. A billionaire pretending to be broke. Still trying to squeeze the last dollar
02:00out of me. I was too tired to even yell. But Luke, I'm out of money. He froze. His face
02:06twisted with
02:07anger. Wow! Are you giving up on me? So you think I'm a failure too? I thought you were different!
02:13He stormed out, slamming the door behind him. He expected me to run after him. But I didn't call
02:19him back. Instead, I blocked his number. I picked up the fake debt notice. No signatures. No official
02:26seal. It was a piece of trash. Just like him. Put the flower shop up for lease. Sell everything.
02:33Leave. The next morning, I packed my bags. I looked around our dark, tiny apartment. There was nothing
02:39worth taking. A discarded birthday card. A rock from the street. A paper ring. Luke had given
02:45them to me as surprises. Every 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
02:56what was inside. The only real gift he ever gave me was a $10 necklace from a flea market. He
03:02bought
03:02it after his first so-called successful startup. He had called me stupid so many times. Now I knew
03:08the truth about him. He really did think I was an idiot. I searched through his group chats. The word
03:13stupid showed up 517 times. I ran through the rain for blocks to buy him late night takeout. His text?
03:20Nina's so stupid. He had a fever. I gave him my only raincoat and walked him to the clinic. His
03:25text?
03:26She's ridiculously stupid. Even when I was lying in his arms, dreaming about our future. Nina is
03:32hopelessly stupid. Broke as a joke and still planning a wedding. Even through the screen, I could see that
03:37mocking smirk on his face. But it didn't matter anymore. Luke had no place in my future. I kept
03:43packing. But in the end, my suitcase was empty. The trash can was full. Then my phone rang.
03:49Hello, Nina. It's Broker. I have some news for you. I'm sorry, but the landlord won't allow
03:55subsetting. At 3 that afternoon, I showed up at a luxury office building to meet my broker. I glanced
04:01through the half-open door. And there he was. Luke. He was wearing a custom tailored suit. He was
04:06scrolling through his phone while a glamorous woman leaned against him. I recognized her instantly.
04:12Her name was Lynn. Two days earlier, my shop had received a massive order. 999 roses. The customer
04:18had left a special instruction. Do not remove the thorns. I wrapped every single stem until my hands
04:24were bleeding. I needed the money too badly to say no. When I delivered the flowers in person, Lynn was
04:30the one who took them. A card was tucked into the middle. To my one true love, Lynn. LCC. LCC.
04:37Luke Zachary Cole. He had known I was desperate for cash. He knew I would never turn down a huge
04:42order.
04:42He had specifically asked for the thorns to be left on. He wanted to watch me bleed for his amusement.
04:48That night, I came home ecstatic. I had told him I made a huge profit. He bandaged my torn. Bloody
04:54fingers so gently. Was he mocking me in his head the whole time? I wiped the tear away. I almost
05:00laughed
05:00at myself. Then, my broker walked up behind me. Miss Nina? The landlord is right inside. Why aren't
05:06you going in? You mean, Luke? Yeah. Didn't you know? Luke owns the entire block on Main Street.
05:25Archibald, the owner of the UK. If you're dealing with the otherŠ¾ŃŠ°? He's doing real
05:30to the right. He's doing real? He's doing real? Jesus. He's doing real? I'm doing really
05:35hard. 4
05:3510-10 hours later.
05:4320 hours later.
05:4820-10 hours later.
05:5321-10 hours later.
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.
06:17I 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.
06:27Nina 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.
06:44Sublet?
06:45Why would she give it up?
06:46Uh, she said she was tired.
06:48Said she was going home to get married.
06:54She and her wife.
06:58I didn't believe she was going home to get married.
06:58I still haven't heard of ours.
06:58.
07:28.
07:58.
08:31.
08:36My father moved fast. Someone was already waiting at the airport.
08:40He was 6'3", 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.
08:52He took off his sunglasses.
08:58.
09:43I finally studied him, he looked untouchable, a sharp jaw, a small scar through his right
09:48brow, a face too handsome to trust, suddenly, he turned his head, our eyes locked, I panicked
09:55and stared out the window, but in the reflection of the window, I saw the tips of his ears
09:59turning red, the man everyone feared was blushing, do you need more water, he asked, almost stumbling
10:06over the words, no, I'm fine, suddenly, the plane dropped, severe turbulence, he reacted
10:14on instinct, his hand closed around my shoulder, shielding me, the heat of his palm burned through
10:19my thin shirt, when the plane steadied, he pulled his hand back, the cabin fell still
10:25again, so why was my heart beating this fast, when we got to the estate, it was late, my
10:31father was waiting in the dining room, I hadn't seen him in 3 years, his hair was greyer, he
10:37looked old, I expected a lecture, or an apology, instead, he just told me to eat, then he kept
10:44filling my plate, my eyes burned, I hated him for what he did to my mother, but I knew he
10:50loved me, after dinner, my father finally spoke, I'm extremely sorry, due to the heavy fog in
10:57London at that time, I missed the last chance to see your mother, I couldn't forgive him
11:02for her, but he was my father anyway, Derek came downstairs after work, he smelled faintly
11:08of smoke, I wrinkled my nose, I won't smoke around you again, Nina, I've been managing
11:14the empire for your father, now that you're back, I'll hand it over to you, you were top
11:18of your class at Harvard Business School, you'll do fine, and if there's anything you don't
11:23understand, ask me, thank you Derek, you've thanked me too many times today, this marriage
11:30was arranged to protect the company, but if you don't want it, I can call it off, no, I'll
11:36marry you, I'm just afraid it's unfair to you, because I don't love you yet, he swallowed
11:43hard, I'll announce the wedding to the press tomorrow, we'll marry the day after, Derek
11:47turned to leave, the scent of cedar and mint drifted past me, for a second, my heart stumbled,
11:53Derek, have you ever been to Seattle, he didn't answer, he just walked away, two days later,
12:00it was our wedding day, Derek had flown in a couture gown from Paris, shimmering with
12:05crystals, I stood before the mirror, my fingers brushing the silk, for the first time in years,
12:11I felt excited, then the doors crashed open, it was Luke, sweating, disheveled, wide-eyed,
12:19Nina, it's really you, I searched the whole city for you, then I saw the news, you're marrying
12:27Derek Sterling? Why are you here?
12:29panic flashed across his face, Nina, you can't marry him, you love me, don't you? Nina, tell
12:38me you still love me, you? You have no right to talk about love, Luke, you played me for
12:46three years, you treated me like an idiot, I am not your toy, my feelings were never a
12:52joke, Luke collapsed into a velvet vanity chair, Nina, it wasn't like that, I fell for
12:57you, I swear I did, but the guys, they kept laughing at me, they said my taste was trash,
13:05I was stupid, I was a coward, confused, I drained the trust fund my grandma left me,
13:10I sold my late mom's vintage Porsche, you let your thugs crush my cat to death, you made me
13:16wrap 999 roses for Lynn, you made me bleed just to entertain yourself, was that just your ego
13:22too? All the blood drained from Luke's face, no, I didn't order those, I swear, Nina, that
13:29wasn't me, Lynn must have, Mr. Cole, step away from my wife, you're Derek Sterling, she's
13:39not marrying you, she loves me, Luke turned back to me and sobbed, Nina, please, listen
13:45to me, I'll give you everything, I'll transfer all my assets to you, just give me one more
13:50chance, you're so arrogant, Luke, the second I found out you lied, I stopped loving you,
13:57Luke grabbed the edge of the vanity table and started dry heaving, his knuckles were turning
14:03blue, the estate butler rushed in, looking anxious, sir, the guests are seated, get him
14:10out of here, Luke kicked and screamed, thrashing and shouting, the wedding march rose from the
14:14hall outside, Derek adjusted the pearl tiara in my hair, his warm breath brushing against
14:21my ear, trust me, Nina, I will never, ever be like him, I looked at our reflection in the
14:27vanity mirror, the diamonds on my dress caught the light, sparkling in time with my racing
14:32heartbeat, I know, the doors opened, behind me, Luke's agonizing screams were completely
14:39swallowed by the music, and beside me, Derek's hand stayed firmly on my waist, I was stepping
14:44into the light, and I was never looking back, the wedding was over, when we finally got to
14:50our bedroom, Derek was tipsy, are you okay, I asked nervously, Derek suddenly laughed, he
14:57dropped the pillow and pulled me into a tight hug, Nina, do you remember me, his voice was
15:03muffled, my blood ran cold, 17 years old, a rainy night, a boy shielded me from flying
15:09glass in a dark alley, blood dripped from his brow onto my hand, the scar, I murmured, my
15:14fingers unconsciously tracing the tiny scar on Derek's eyebrow, every Wednesday at 3pm,
15:21the white roses, Derek whispered, every night making sure you walked up the stairs safely
15:25before I drove home, the mystery customer who kept my shop afloat, the stranger in the
15:30shadows, who protected me, when Luke wasn't around, it was him, it had always been him,
15:36Derek, how long have you been in love with me, Derek's body stiffened, for years, Nina,
15:43when your father said you agreed to the marriage, it felt unreal, will you let me take care of
15:47you, for the rest of my life, I looked into his eyes, and felt myself drowning, I squeezed
15:52his hand back, let's try, I told him, we didn't sleep in the same bed that night, but everything
15:58changed, it became a routine, every morning before work, Derek would pull me into a tight
16:04hug, and every night before bed, I actually found myself, waiting for his goodnight kiss
16:10on my cheek, then, his company closed a massive project, he came home late, swaying slightly,
16:16reeking faintly of whiskey, I had to help him back to the bedroom, but the moment we fell
16:21onto the bed, he turned and caught himself above me, in the dark shadows of the room, his
16:26eyes were bright, sharp and completely focused, he didn't look drunk at all, he leaned in
16:31close, hesitating for a split second, then, he softly pressed his lips to the corner of
16:36my mouth, when I didn't push him away, he immediately leaned in and captured my lips, his chest was
16:42heaving, I could feel his hot breath brushing against my skin, his voice was rough as he whispered,
16:47Nina, is this okay, I didn't answer him with words, I just reached up and cupped his face,
16:53and pulled him back down to me, weeks passed, I learned what it truly meant to be worshipped,
16:58to be loved without a single lie, then, two months later, my phone rang, it was Luke's
17:03grandfather, begging me to visit the hospital, Luke had found out Lynn staged the rose order,
17:08he exiled her, he spent his days, drinking himself into a coma, until a drunk driver crashed
17:14both his legs, outside a bar, the doctor said they might have to amputate,
17:19Nina, I know he hurt you, grandfather sobbed, but he refuses treatment, he thinks this is
17:25his punishment for breaking your heart, please, just come talk to him, I glanced back at Derek,
17:30I'm sorry Mr. Cole, I won't be coming, I've already moved on, I don't want to go back to
17:35the past, after hanging up, I walked over to the couch, and wrapped my arms around Derek's
17:41neck, who was that, he asked, nobody important, I smiled against his lips, Derek, I love you,
