Billionaire Heir’s Fake Poor Boyfriend
Transcript
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
00:18the trust fund my grandma left me. $100,000. Gone. Second time, I sold my late mom's vintage
00:25Porsche. Another $250,000. And now, he wanted $1,000,000 more. I stared at my phone. One
00:32call to my billionaire 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
00:43less. And that stupid florist will just pay it off again. Bro, damn. Easiest money ever.
00:49Plus free sex. I didn't cry. I felt sick. For three years. He'd been playing me for a fool.
00:56So I made the call. You still want me back? To take over the empire and marry your ruthless
01:01CEO? Fine. I'll do it. I'll be there in three days.
01:04Nina, I screwed up. I owe a million bucks. Luke played his part perfectly. But I wasn't
01:09looking at his face. I was looking at his wrist. It was a Richard Mill. At least two million.
01:15He was wearing a $2,000,000 watch. And I was still stupid enough to consider taking out
01:20a loan for him. It's a fake, baby. I'll buy you a real one soon. I promise.
01:24He thought I was clueless. Just some poor girl who couldn't tell the real thing from a fake.
01:29The iPad on the table lit up again. More messages popped up. Bro, how's she paying this time?
01:34Selling her house? Or selling herself? Bro too. If she starts selling herself, I want first
01:40dips. Three years together. Two fake debts. I paid them both.
01:44All I got in return were lies. He pulled me closer, putting on that sweet smile again.
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.
02:00I was too tired to even yell. But 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!
02:13He 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.
02:38There was nothing worth taking. A discarded birthday card. A rock from the street. A paper ring.
02:44Luke had given them to me as surprises. Every time I opened one, he looked almost as surprised as I
02:50was.
02:51Looking back, he had probably told his staff to grab whatever they could find. He didn't even know what
02:56was inside. The only real gift he ever gave me was a $10 necklace from a flea market. He bought
03:02it after
03:02his first so-called successful startup. He had called me stupid so many times. Now I knew the
03:08truth about him. He really did think I was an idiot. I searched through his group chats. The word stupid
03:13showed 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,
03:37I could see that mocking smirk on his face. But it didn't matter anymore. Luke had no place in my
03:42future. I kept packing. But in the end, my suitcase was empty. The trash can was full. Then my phone
03:48rang.
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.
04:00I glanced through the half-open door. And there he was. Luke. He was wearing a custom-tailored suit.
04:06He was scrolling 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.
04:18The customer had left a special instruction. Do not remove the thorns. I wrapped every single
04:23stem until my hands were bleeding. I needed the money too badly to say no. When I delivered the
04:28flowers in person, Lynn was the one who took them. A card was tucked into the middle. To my one
04:33true
04:34love, Lynn. LCC. LCC. Luke Zachary Cole. He had known I was desperate for cash. He knew I would
04:41never turn down a huge order. He had specifically asked for the thorns to be left on. He wanted to
04:46watch
04:46me bleed for his amusement. That night, I came home ecstatic. I had told him I made a huge profit.
04:52He bandaged my torn, bloody fingers so gently. Was he mocking me in his head the whole time?
04:58I wiped the tear away. I almost laughed at myself. Then, my broker walked up behind me.
05:03Miss Nina? The landlord is right inside. Why aren't you going in?
05:07You mean, Luke?
05:08Yeah. Didn't you know? Luke owns the entire block on Main Street.
05:17Luke owns the entire block. Sometimes that being broke.
05:21Who brought you in from the pit에 comes to the front.
05:23We got to move like a Two- đóm.
05:23Then, when?ος
05:45heavens
05:46ave
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.
06:27Nina 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.
06:44Sublit?
06:45Why would she give it up?
06:46Uh, she said she was tired.
06:49Said she was going home to get married.
07:12She's from now.
07:31She didn't go home to buy appeals.
07:31She's been told during the night.
07:31I'm going home to get married?
07:31I want her to get married.
07:31They're gonna get married.
07:32I want her.
07:32Is that not baby?
07:33I'm glad her.
07:41She's done a trauma coming home
07:41.
08:36My father moved fast. Someone was already waiting at the airport.
08:40He was 6'3", dressed in black, and impossible to ignore.
08:45I 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.
08:53He took off his sunglasses.

09:22.
09:43I finally studied him, he looked untouchable, a sharp jaw, a small scar through his right brow,
09:49a face too handsome to trust. Suddenly, he turned his head, our eyes locked. I panicked and stared
09:56out the window, but in the reflection of the window, I saw the tips of his ears turning red.
10:01The man everyone feared was blushing. Do you need more water? He asked, almost stumbling over the
10:07words. No, I'm fine. Suddenly, the plane dropped, severe turbulence. He reacted on instinct. His
10:15hand closed around my shoulder, shielding me. The heat of his palm burned through my thin shirt.
10:21When the plane steadied, he pulled his hand back. The cabin fell still again. So why was my heart
10:27beating this fast? When 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. I expected a lecture,
10:39or an apology. Instead, he just told me to eat. Then he kept filling my plate. My eyes burned.
10:47I hated him for what he did to my mother. But I knew he loved me. After dinner, my father
10:53finally
10:53spoke. I'm extremely sorry. Due to the heavy fog in London at that time, I missed the last chance to
11:01see your mother. I couldn't forgive him for her. But he was my father anyway. Derek came downstairs after
11:07work. He smelled faintly of smoke. I wrinkled my nose. I won't smoke around you again. Nina,
11:13I've been managing the empire for your father. Now that you're back, I'll hand it over to you.
11:18You were top of your class at Harvard Business School. You'll do fine. And if there's anything
11:23you don't understand, ask me. Thank you, Derek. You've thanked me too many times today.
11:30This marriage was arranged to protect the company. But 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. Because I don't love you yet.
11:43He swallowed hard. I'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. For a second,
11:52my heart stumbled. Derek, have you ever been to Seattle? He didn't answer. He just walked away.
11:59Two days later, it was our wedding day. Derek had flown in a couture gown from Paris,
12:05shimmering with crystals. I stood before the mirror, my fingers brushing the silk. For the
12:10first time in years, I felt excited. Then the doors crashed open. It was Luke, sweating, disheveled,
12:18wide-eyed.
12:19Nina, it's really you. I searched the whole city for you. Then I saw the news. You're marrying Derek
12:27Sterling?
12:28Why are you here? Panic flashed across his face.
12:32Nina, you can't marry him. You love me, don't you? Nina, tell me you still love me.
12:40You? You have no right to talk about love, Luke. You played me for three years. You treated me like
12:49an idiot. I am not your toy. My feelings were never a joke. Luke collapsed into a velvet vanity
12:55chair. Nina, it wasn't like that. I fell for you. I swear I did. But the guys, they kept laughing
13:02at
13:02me. They said my taste was trash. I was stupid. I was a coward. Confused? I drained the trust fund
13:10my grandma left me. I sold my late mom's vintage Porsche. You let your thugs crush my cat to
13:15death. You made me wrap 999 roses for Lynn. You made me bleed just to entertain yourself. Was that
13:21just your ego too? All the blood drained from Luke's face. No! I didn't order those. I swear, Nina,
13:29that wasn'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 to me. I'll give
13:47you everything. I'll transfer all my assets to you. Just give me one more chance. You're so arrogant,
13:53Luke. The second I found out you lied, I stopped loving you. Luke grabbed the edge of the vanity
14:00table and started dry heaving. His knuckles were turning blue. The estate butler rushed in, looking
14:06anxious. Sir, the guests are seated. Get him out of here. Luke kicked and screamed, thrashing and
14:13shouting. The wedding march rose from the hall outside. Derek adjusted the pearl tiara in my hair,
14:20his warm breath brushing against my ear. Trust me, Nina. I will never, ever be like him.
14:26I looked at our reflection in the vanity mirror. The diamonds on my dress caught the light,
14:31sparkling in time with my racing heartbeat. I know. The doors opened. Behind me, Luke's agonizing
14:38screams were completely swallowed by the music. And beside me, Derek's hand stayed firmly on my waist.
14:44I was stepping into the light, and I was never looking back. The wedding was over. When we finally
14:50got to our bedroom, Derek was tipsy. Are you okay? I asked nervously. Derek suddenly laughed.
14:57He dropped the pillow and pulled me into a tight hug. Nina, why don't you remember me?
15:02His voice was muffled. 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,
15:15my fingers 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 before
15:26I drove home. The mystery customer who kept my shop afloat. The stranger in the shadows. Who protected
15:32me when Luke wasn't around. It was him. It had always been him. Derek. How long have you been in
15:39love with me? Derek's body stiffened. For years, Nina, when your father said you agreed to the
15:45marriage, it felt unreal. Will you let me take care of you for the rest of my life? I looked
15:50into his
15:50eyes and felt myself drowning. I squeezed his hand back. Let's try. I told him we didn't sleep in the
15:57same bed that night, but everything changed. It became a routine. Every morning before work,
16:03Derek would pull me into a tight hug. And every night before bed, I actually found myself waiting
16:09for his goodnight kiss on my cheek. Then, his company closed a massive project. He came home late,
16:15swaying slightly, reeking faintly of whiskey. I had to help him back to the bedroom. But the moment we
16:21fell onto the bed, he turned and caught himself above me. In the dark shadows of the room, his eyes
16:26were
16:27bright, sharp and completely focused. He didn't look drunk at all. He leaned in close, hesitating for a
16:33split second. Then, he softly pressed his lips to the corner of my mouth. When I didn't push him
16:38away, he immediately leaned in and captured my lips. His chest was heaving. I could feel his hot breath
16:44brushing against my skin. His voice was rough as he whispered, Nina, is this okay? I didn't answer him
16:50with words. I just reached up and cupped his face and pulled him back down to me. Weeks passed. I
16:56learned
16:57what it truly meant to be worshipped. To be loved without a single lie. Then, two months later, my phone
17:02rang. It was Luke's grandfather begging me to visit the hospital. Luke had found out Lynn staged
17:08the rose order. He exiled her. He spent his days drinking himself into a coma until a drunk driver
17:15crashed both 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.
17:24He thinks this is his punishment for breaking your heart. Please, just come talk to him.
17:29I glanced back at Derek. I'm sorry, Mr. Cole. I won't be coming. I've already moved on.
17:35I don't want to go back to the past. After hanging up, I walked over to the couch and wrapped
17:40my arms
17:41around Derek's neck. Who was that? He asked. Nobody important. I smiled against his lips. Derek, I love you.
