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